NOMADS: DOCUMENTAL TRANSMEDIA PRODUCIDO EN UN CENTRO DE SECUNDARIA
Authors: Suárez-Martínez José Miguel
Published: September 2024

The documentary NOMADS was born within one of the intellectual products of the Erasmus+ project on human rights HUMREV that was coordinated by the IES Cabo de la Huerta in Alicante from 2016 to 2018. One of the pillars of the project was raising awareness about the problem of migration from a perspective that valued the involvement of the entire educational community. The highlighting of the potential deployed in NOMADS at a collaborative, organizational, creative, artistic and narrative level of an entire educational community is the main objective of this contribution made within the FIET-Cat 2024 under the commitment to disseminate the intellectual products of the aforementioned Erasmus+ project. By inserting the three basic principles of the project: connection, participation and awareness, it is also evident that the capacity for teamwork, voluntarily and selflessly, of an entire educational community is capable of offering a high-level audiovisual and educational result, as well as promoting awareness about the human rights of migrants in an increasingly globalized society. The different organizational and narrative tools that were implemented in this project based on evidence of implementation are collected.
Un análisis crítico-filosófico sobre los fundamentos de la asociatividad empresarial como un proceso de empatía
Authors: Parra Moreno Carlos Fernando , Sánchez Cárcamo Ricardo Antonio
Published: September 2024

La asociatividad empresarial es una agrupación de empresas que busca crear una ventaja competitiva a través de la división del trabajo y la mejora en la productividad, entre otras estrategias, y que facilita alcanzar una mayor participación en el mercado. El objetivo de trabajo fue comprender, desde una interpretación económica y filosófica, cómo la asociatividad es un proceso de empatía entre empresarios que buscan unos beneficios económicos, donde el trabajador, como medio de producción, no es ganador de estos beneficios. La propuesta partió del paradigma interpretativo, desde un enfoque cualitativo, basado en investigación crítica-interpretativa y la técnica de revisión documental. Desde un análisis crítico y deconstructivo de la teoría de la distribución clásica de Smith, se encontró que, a mayores condiciones de empatía, entre empresarios, mayor capacidad de asociatividad y, por ende, de competitividad empresarial, manteniendo en el centro al trabajador y no al margen como un simple factor productivo. La importancia del trabajo se da en tanto que, a partir de la deconstrucción del concepto de asociatividad, se pueden identificar las “contradicciones” constitutivas alrededor de esta propuesta empresarial y estratégica como una de las formas para fortalecer el edificio epistemológico y filosófico alrededor de la teoría administrativa.

Published: September 2024

La investigación tuvo como objetivo indagar el impacto que tiene el TDAH (Trastorno de Déficit de Atención e Hiperactividad) en el desarrollo de la cognición social, en una muestra de estudiantes entre 10-17 años de Montreal (Canadá) y de la ciudad de Bogotá (Colombia). La investigación fue cualitativa, de alcance comparativa, no experimental. El número de participantes fue de 42, de ambos sexos, divididos en dos grupos, sin TDAH y con TDAH. Se aplicaron 6 test psicológicos que permitieron analizar la cognición social en las variables empatía, conducta prosocial, teoría de la mente y reconocimiento facial emocional, de la muestra seleccionada. Los resultados evidenciaron que el grupo sin TDAH puntuó por encima de la media, en comparación con el grupo con TDAH, cuyo rendimiento fue menor en las pruebas aplicadas. En conclusión, se puede evidenciar que la cognición social se ve afectada principalmente en los estudiantes con TDAH de ambos países, independiente de las variables culturales o su lugar de residencia; su afectación se atribuye más bien a las características propias del trastorno.

Original Aesthetic Surgical Experience with the First Skin Graft Surgery for Burn Sequelae Using a Donor Site from Cosmetic Breast Reduction
Authors: Turki Imen Mehri
Published: September 2024

Reconstructive surgery for burns sequelae is necessary. However, despite technical progress, the goal may not be achieved, particularly due to limited access and availability of autologous tissue. Thus, adequate planning and selection of donor sites are mandatory to minimize morbidity while optimizing results. This present case exhibits a novel donor site, not previously described in the literature, offering sufficient full-thickness skin harvest for resurfacing the whole anterolateral neck, without usual donor site morbidity. It consists of performing cosmetic breast reduction by using the skin underlying the resected pieces and cosmetic goals are then achieved for both the neck and the breast. Following this successful surgical experience, we recommend that whenever possible cosmetic surgery, such as breast reduction or abdominoplasty, be offered, where instead of throwing away the resected skin, it becomes valuable for use as a full-thickness skin graft.

Published: September 2024

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the impact of cranioskeletal trauma (CST) on the development of endogenous intoxication syndrome in rats of different ages.
Materials and Methods: The experiments involved 147 white male Wistar rats of different age groups. The first experimental group included sexual immature rats aged 100-120 days. The second group includes sexually mature rats aged 6-8 months. The third group included old rats aged 19-23 months. In all experimental groups, CST was modelled under thiopentalonatrium anaesthesia. The control rats were only injected with thiopentalonatrium anaesthesia. The animals were withdrawn from the experiments under anaesthesia after 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days by total bleeding from the heart. In blood serum, the content of fractions of molecules of middle mass was determined at a wavelength of 254 and 280 nm (MMM254, MMM280).
Results: As a result application of CST in rats of different age groups, an increase in the serum content of MMM254 and MMM280 was observed with a maximum after 14 days and a subsequent decrease by 28 days. At all times of the experiment, the indicators were statistically significantly higher compared to the control groups. The degree of growth of the MMM254 fraction after 1, 7 and 14 days was statistically significantly higher in sexual immature rats, and after 21 and 28 days – in old rats. In old rats after 21 and 28 days of the post-traumatic period, the content and degree of growth of the MMM280 fraction in the blood serum were also significantly higher.
Conclusions: Modelling of CST in rats of different age groups is accompanied by the development of endogenous intoxication syndrome, which is manifested by the accumulation of MMM254 and MMM280 fractions in the blood serum with a maximum after 14 days of the experiment. The content of the serum fraction of MMM254 in sexual immature rats in the dynamics of experimental CST exceeds other age groups after 1, 7 and 14 days, in old rats the content of the studied MMM fractions is significantly higher after 21-28 days.

Exploring somatic mutations in POLE and POLD1: Their role in colorectal cancer pathogenesis and potential therapeutic strategies
Authors: Ham-Karim Hersh Abdul , Ahmad Narmeen Salih , Ilyas Mohammad
Published: September 2024

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, resulting from the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations in several oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Recent studies have identified germline and somatic mutations in the exonuclease domain regions of both epsilon polymerase (POLE) and delta polymerase (POLD1) genes in CRCs. We sought to examine the mutation of these genes in a series of sporadic CRCs. To do this, we extracted DNA from 100 primary CRC samples and 40 corresponding normal tissue samples, which had been previously characterized for clinicopathological and molecular features. We employed a combination of quick-multiplex consensus (QMC)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and co-amplification at lower denaturation temperature (COLD)-PCR, followed by high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis and Sanger sequencing, to investigate the exonuclease domain regions of POLE and POLD1 genes for somatic mutations that may potentially alter the proofreading activities of these genes. In silico predictions of the functional significance of the identified genetic alterations were performed using the protein variation effect analyzer, sorting intolerant from tolerant, and PON-P2 algorithms. We identified a total of eight new and non-recurrent somatic variants in the endonuclease domains of POLE and two in POLD1. Nine out of ten variants caused amino acid substitutions, whereas one resulted in a stop codon. Although no significant associations or correlations were found between the POLE/POLD1 mutations and the clinicopathological or molecular features of the CRC cases, most of the POLE/POLD1-mutated cases were microsatellite stable (90%) and aneuploid (80%). Furthermore, in silico analyses showed that nine of the ten variants would likely cause some adverse effect on protein function. Ten somatic variants with predicted proofreading activity-altering effects have been identified in the endonuclease domains of POLE and POLD1 in CRC using a combination of QMC-PCR, COLD-PCR, HRM analyses, and Sanger sequencing.

Published: September 2024

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an educational approach, merging language learning and subject content to bolster both students' language proficiency and academic understanding. This analysis explores the pivotal role of CLIL in elevating students' language skills, content knowledge, motivation, cognitive abilities, intercultural awareness, and multilingualism in an online setting. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a physics teacher in Albania sought ways to motivate her 11th-grade students isolated at home. Collaborating with their English teacher, the students translated, voiced over, or subtitled English physics videos and employed EdPuzzle (https://www.edpuzzle.com ) for interactive questioning. The study employed a phenomenological design, delving into teachers' and students' feelings about this experience two years after. The study explored the impact of CLIL and video use on student motivation, comprehension, and engagement in physics education during online teaching. Findings revealed that CLIL and video integration enhanced motivation, content understanding, and student autonomy. Real-world examples and personalization kindled intrinsic motivation, while language accessibility and multimodal learning enriched comprehension. Findings also highlighted the long-term potential of CLIL and videos to transform physics education, promoting inclusivity, autonomy, and international collaboration.

Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study aims to understand how well logistics service quality (LSQ) meets customer expectations, in order to gauge their satisfaction. It aims to investigate how customers perceive LSQ dimensions within business-to-customer (B2C) interactions, with a specific focus on examining the impact of technology-organization-environment contexts (TOE model) on the implementation of application technology in Vietnamese logistics companies. Additionally, the study explores how the integration of these dimensions contributes to improving customer satisfaction and retention rates. Design/methodology/approach: Data collected through a survey conducted on people who used the service of logistics service providers are analyzed using a quantitative comparative analysis approach. The analysis explores various ways to achieve customer satisfaction by considering different combinations of LSQ dimensions. Findings: The study outlines eight LSQ dimensions that contribute to customer satisfaction and discusses how these dimensions, in different configurations, lead to higher levels of customer satisfaction. While previous academic research has primarily focused on service quality from a quality management, this study addresses the existing gap by examining B2C relationships and emphasizing the role of third-party logistics (3PL) service providers. Originality/value: The findings of this study provide valuable insights for practitioners, offering guidance on how 3PL service providers can effectively combine LSQ dimensions to continuously improve the customer experience and enhance overall customer satisfaction and retention.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to investigate the effects of patriarchal beliefs as measured by women's inferiority and domestic role and traditional understanding of family honor on the attitudes toward women empowerment in Saudi Arabia. A proportionate sample was selected to administer the questionnaire. About 1400 responses were received and analyzed. A regression model was applied to test the relative effects of each variable. The findings reveal that beliefs in women's inferiority have the highest negative impact on the attitudes of women empowerment. Understanding family honor and beliefs in domestic role of women also have low negative effects. The other significant variables were gender (women have positive attitudes), exposure to media (positive) and family social status. Patriarchal beliefs affect attitudes toward women empowerment than the understanding of family honor. Religiosity, age, and family economic status have no significant relation with the dependent variable. The findings confirm the results of various observations and research based on empirical evidence that is lacking in these studies and observations. From the findings, it can be said that any social reform to empower women must be complemented with efforts to change traditional beliefs to ease the transition and avoid social rejection of such changes.

Published: September 2024

This research aims to analyze the factors that influence cash waqf behavior using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) approach with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. This research involves distributing questionnaires to 129 respondents who have the potential to provide cash waqf. The questionnaire was designed based on the main constructs in the TPB, namely attitudes towards cash waqf, subjective norms, behavioral control, and cash waqf intentions and behavior. The collected data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques to test the relationship between these variables in a comprehensive conceptual framework. The results of analysis using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method show that the proposed model has a good level of fit to the data. The findings show that a positive attitude towards cash waqf significantly influences an individual's intention to give cash waqf. Subjective norms, which reflect the influence of the social environment, also have a strong positive impact on cash waqf intentions. Apart from that, perceived behavioral control also has a direct positive influence on cash waqf intentions and behavior. The results of analysis using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method show that the proposed model has a good level of fit to the data. The findings show that a positive attitude towards cash waqf significantly influences an individual's intention to give cash waqf. Subjective norms, which reflect the influence of the social environment, also have a strong positive impact on cash waqf intentions.

The Cost of Armed Conflict to Agriculture in Colombia
Authors: Iglesias Pinedo Wilman , Fulginiti Lilyan E. , Perrin Richard K.
Published: September 2024

Armed conflict in rural areas of Colombia has displaced and killed many people. This violence increases the risk in the agricultural enterprise leading to reductions in investments and technology adoption that could significantly lower agricultural productivity. To explore the relationship between this violence and productivity of the licit agricultural sector, we estimate an aggregate agricultural production function at the department level for 1995-2017 that includes violence levels and incentives for illicit agriculture. We estimate that the Colombian armed conflict was costly to agriculture because it is associated with a decrease in licit agricultural productivity of around 29% from 1995 to 2017.

Published: September 2024

As a global health phenomenon in the modern era, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on all aspects of human life. Its influence extends beyond social life to encompass economic and political dimensions. The political aspect, in particular, demands attention in the post-pandemic era, primarily due to political agendas that necessitate the concentration of people at a single point and time, as seen in General Elections (Pemilu).Referring to the health protocols during the pandemic, a large concentration of people at one location and at a specific time is highly counterproductive in preventing the spread of COVID-19. However, elections are a critical agenda that lays the foundation for long-term human development. Therefore, conducting elections in the post-pandemic period entails certain consequences that must be addressed by election organizers.This study aims to uncover new trends in human activities during the pandemic period. Subsequently, these new trends pose challenges that must be addressed by election organizers to ensure that the political agenda can be carried out without contributing to an increase in COVID-19 infection cases. This research is qualitative in nature, employing a descriptive approach. Data were collected through literature and mass media sources. The findings reveal new trends in the social life of the Indonesian community post-pandemic, such as a heightened interest in working from home (WFH), the prevalence of fake news (hoaxes), and an increased level of public criticality. These factors have implications for the challenges faced by election organizers, including the ability to build public trust, effective communication skills, preparedness of human resources, and mastery of technology.Keywords: Pandemic, Elections, Effective Communication, Technology Mastery, Human Resource Readiness

The type of data used in this research is quantitative data, namely research obtained directly from the company, including parking retribution receipts and parking tax data. This research tries to apply the e-parking policy communication carried out by the Medan City Government using the triple helix model. From this model approach, e-parking is seen from several important elements involved in the policy. Starting from the Medan City Government represented by the Medan City Transportation Service and PT Logika Garis Elektronik (LGE) as the e-parking manager, and academics as the wider community who are e-parking users and provide academic views. As well as business people as entrepreneurs who are around the road that implement e-parking. By using a qualitative-descriptive method, this study shows that this e-parking program comes with various pros and cons and looks at how two official institutions, in this case the City Government and PT LGE, carry out the process of communicating policies to the public, especially to parking attendants and public.
