Authors: Gutierrez Eylla Laire
Published: February 2025

The growing involvement of women in the tourism industry highlights opportunities for empowerment within the sector, ultimately promoting an inclusive environment in broader Philippine society. This Policy Note urges the perception of empowerment to extend beyond economic aspects, advocating for the strengthening of women’s psychological, political, and sociocultural dimensions. By analyzing women's experiences in the tourism industries of Metro Manila, Cebu, and Palawan, the study found that while they exhibit psychological and political empowerment, economic and social empowerment remain uneven due to factors such as seasonal employment and persistent gender stereotypes. Hence, this Note suggests a more proactive approach to reevaluating the sociocultural environment in which women operate in tourism. It recommends reintroducing gender studies in education to encourage discussions in both private and public spheres. Moreover, it highlights the importance of establishing gender gap indicators and documenting women’s success stories as valuable avenues to achieve holistic empowerment.

С увеличением степени информатизации транспортной отрасли, в частности железнодорожной инфраструктуры, увеличивается и количество потенциальных угроз информационной безопасности, которые необходимо учитывать при построении систем защиты информации в соответствующих экосистемах. Одна из актуальных проблем – противодействие злоумышленному стеганографическому встраиванию, используемому для доставки вредоносного кода внутрь атакуемой системы. В статье рассмотрены примеры таких атак и предложен способ противодействия им с помощью инструментов стегоанализа. Представлен пример практической разработки стегоаналитического детектора, способного решать задачу обнаружения стеганографии на периметре информационной системы в рамках противодействия скрытию вредоносной информации в наименьших значащих битах (НЗБ) пикселей графических файлов. Продемонстрированы результаты тестирования данного детектора и варианты его внедрения в информационную систему.

With the increasing degree of informatization of the transport industry, in particular, the railway infrastructure, the number of potential threats to information security increases, which must be taken into account when building information protection systems in the relevant ecosystems. One of the urgent problems is to counteract malicious steganographic embedding used to deliver malicious code inside the attacked system. The article discusses examples of such attacks and proposes a way to counteract them using stegoanalysis tools. An example of practical development of a stegoanalytic detector capable of solving the problem of steganography detection on the perimeter of an information system as part of counteraction to the most popular application of steganography – hiding malicious information in the least significant bits of pixels of graphic files – is presented. The results of testing of this detector and variants of its implementation in the information system are demonstrated.

«Жесткая» аппаратная логика релейных систем электрической централизации стрелок и сигналов является препятствием для изменений зон управления дежурных по станции. Схемотехника построения маршрутного набора и его релейная увязка с исполнительной группой не позволяет организовать дополнительное рабочее место пользователя из-за невозможности одновременного использования общих комплектов схем, а схемы по обеспечению двойного управления оказываются весьма громоздкими. Гибкость в организации перевозочного процесса достигается использованием компьютерного управления в микропроцессорных и релейно-процессорных системах. В статье рассмотрены принципы реконфигурации зон управления на примере системы ЭЦ-МПК, позволившие обеспечить эффективную работу дежурных по станции на стыке магистрального и промышленного транспорта.

The «rigid» hardware logic of relay interlocking systems is an obstacle to changes in the control zones of station attendants. The circuit design of the route set and its relay connection with the executive group does not allow organizing an additional user workplace due to the impossibility of simultaneous use of common sets of circuits, and the schemes for ensuring dual control turn out to be very cumbersome. Flexibility in the organization of the transportation process is achieved by using computer control in microprocessor and relay processor systems. The article discusses the principles of reconfiguration of control zones using the example of the EC-MPC system, which made it possible to ensure the effective work of station attendants at the junction of mainline and industrial transport.

Authors: Nwafor Gideon Uchechukwu , Aghaebe Sandra Ekene
Published: February 2025

Climate change poses significant threats to vulnerable communities in Nigeria and requires information on adaptation and resilience strategies, particularly in rural areas where access to modern communication technologies is limited. This study evaluates the importance of oramedia forms in communicating climate change adaptation and resilience strategies to raise public awareness and participation in sustainable development in Nigeria. It deals with the issue of the inability of the majority of the public to understand climate resilience strategies, which makes these strategies less effective. The research used qualitative data gathered from interview with local communities, stakeholders, and experts to identify common views, and knowledge gaps, and to assess how well current communication strategies work. The main findings show that oramedia can help close communication gaps, promote community involvement, and support a collaborative effort for climate resilience and adaptation. Moreover, the research points out the need for cultural relevance and context-specific messaging so that communities not only grasp but also actively engage in adaptation strategies. The effects of these findings go beyond environmental issues, highlighting the need for effective communication in public health efforts, given the health risks linked to climate change. By creating a framework for using oramedia as a means of education and engagement, this study adds to the conversation on sustainable development and climate resilience, suggesting that better communication strategies can lead to improved health outcomes and community welfare in a time of growing environmental problems.

La inversión en infraestructuras es la forma de inversión real más común ahora dentro de las necesidades financieras de los sistemas de pensiones. Finalmente se abordan diversos casos de actuaciones respecto a las inversiones en la crisis financiera, marco en el que se sitúa la demanda en Euskadi para que financien el circulante de las pymes.
Productividad de los factores y especialización de las regiones españolas entre 2000 y 2012
Authors:   Universidad de Valencia, Pérez Francisco , Benages Eva ,   IVIE
Published: February 2025

España ha padecido un grave problema de productividad durante la última expansión que alcanzó a una amplia mayoría de sectores productivos y a la casi totalidad de las regiones. El origen del mismo fue sobre todo la acumulación improductiva de capital inducida por el boom inmobiliario, pero también existieron y existen problemas de aprovechamiento de otras inversiones y del capital humano. La intensidad de estas debilidades y sus efectos territoriales dependen de la especialización de cada comunidad autónoma, pero también de otros rasgos de las mismas. Desaparecida la causa principal del mal comportamiento de la productividad con el pinchazo de la burbuja inmobiliaria, la trayectoria de la productividad ha mejorado durante la crisis pero todavía se muestra débil en la parte del tejido productivo más afectada por importantes excesos de capacidad y en las regiones menos eficientes.
La productividad y competitividad en los servicios españoles. ¿Cómo ha afectado la reciente crisis económico-financiera?
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Maroto Andrés , Cuadrado Roura Juan R. ,   Universidad de Alcalá
Published: February 2025

La productividad ha desplazado, desde los años noventa, a otros indicadores más tradicionales como factor clave a la hora de analizar la competitividad internacional de las economías. Por otro lado, si en algún sector productivo el análisis de la productividad supone un mayor debate ese es el caso de los servicios. Por estas razones, este trabajo analiza las relaciones existentes entre la competitividad internacional, la productividad y los costes laborales en el sector servicios de la economía española desde 1995 hasta la actualidad. Sus dos principales novedades son el análisis desagregado dentro de dicho sector y el foco sobre las diferencias causadas por la última crisis económica. El principal resultado obtenido es que en el sector servicios y, especialmente, en algunas ramas terciarias, los factores no relacionados directamente con los costes y precios tienen un papel dominante, alejándose así de las teorías convencionales sobre comercio internacional.

Crecimiento empresarial en las pequeñas empresas de la industria metalmecánica de Lima: un estudio de casos múltiple
Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Seclen Luna Jean Pierre
Published: February 2025

Este artículo analiza el contexto de crecimiento de las pequeñas empresas de la industria metalmecánica de Lima. Existen múltiples factores en diferentes niveles de análisis que podrían desencadenar el crecimiento empresarial. El crecimiento a partir del incremento del empleo en las empresas ha respondido a las necesidades de la producción debido a la coyuntura económica del país. No obstante, ese crecimiento no ha sido estable en el tiempo. Asimismo, las ventas han sufrido variaciones en el tiempo influenciadas por la volatilidad del precio de las materias primas y el aumento de la inflación, lo que no ha implicado un incremento en el beneficio de las empresas. La principal fuente de competitividad de las pequeñas empresas radica en su especialización productiva, basada en su característica «artesanal» y en un nicho de mercado de dimensión reducida. Ello hace que las pequeñas empresas tengan pocos incentivos para internacionalizarse y generar nuevos conocimientos. En este contexto, el papel del gobierno es crucial para impulsar políticas articuladas para abordar este complejo fenómeno.

Authors: Albert Benbassat
Published: February 2025

The article looks at anthology as a specific type of publication in the context of the literary and book publishing theory and practice. The etymology of the notion has been traced as well as the historical development of anthologies from Antiquity to present days and key samples in the field of anthology creation. Special attention has been paid to the Bulgarian anthologies throughout the separate historical stages of Bulgarian book publishing. A special place has been given to the first poetic anthology in Bulgaria called “Bulgarian Poetry from Ivan Vazov onwards” (1911) and to the four anthologies compiled by Geo Milev highlighting their exceptional role in the development of such type of editions in Bulgaria and the critical consideration of Bulgaria’s literary process as a whole. One important aspect in the article is the publishing principles that compiling and publishing a given anthology abides to. The role of the publishing team and their assistants has been considered in order to achieve an optimum aesthetic and economic effect with the end product – the book.

Authors: Pereira Beatriz , Rosário Pedro , Núñez José Carlos , Magalhães Paula
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT Background/Aim: Child-to-parent violence is an increasingly frequent problem in which children assume the role of aggressors, causing serious consequences for family dynamics. The objectives of this study were to systematise studies of child-parent violence in Latin America and to analyse their frequency by means of a meta-analysis of proportions. Methods: This study followed The PRISMA 2020 criteria for systematic review and meta-analysis. A meta-analysis of proportions was performed according to the criteria of reiterated violence and zero-tolerance, and publication bias and heterogeneity were analysed. Results: Sixteen primary studies were included. Most of the studies have been conducted in México and Chile. Psychological violence showed a greater magnitude toward the mother, whereas physical violence showed very similar magnitudes for both parents. Discussion: The findings confirm the scarce evidence on child-parent violence in Latin American countries, but this does not mean that it is a non-existent problem. In fact, reiterated psychological violence could be exercised between 23% and 25%, and reiterated physical violence between 6% and 5% towards the father and mother, respectively.

Authors: Basanta Juan , Fandiño Ricardo , Cea Blanca , Seijo Dolores
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT Background/aim: Escalation models have been applied to juvenile delinquency across judicial, psychological, criminological, developmental, risk assessment and biological fields. A field study was conducted to examine the effects of the escalation model of recidivism risk levels on psychopathic traits (a clinical and forensic construct) and psychopathology (a non-criminogenic need). Method: A total of 239 juveniles, aged 14 to 20 years (M = 16.32, SD = 1.07), 74.1% of whom were boys, participated in the study. Of these, 157 were serving a disposition order in a custodial center, and 82 were serving community orders. The juveniles completed a measure of psychopathology (psychological adjustment) controlling the differential diagnosis of malingering. Additionally, three experienced forensic psychologists assessed each juvenile risk of recidivism (using the YLS/CMI) and psychopathic traits based on interviews and judicial files. Results: The findings revealed significant associations between court orders to juvenile custodial centers and academic failure; between juvenile offenders and conduct disorder; between parental history of clinical disorders and recidivism risk; and between parental criminal records and recidivism risk. Impression management was identified in the clinical self-reports of juvenile offenders. Furthermore, the results supported an escalation model, demonstrating a relationship between recidivism risk levels, psychological adjustment and psychopathy. Conclusions: The implications for forensic settings, intervention targets, and the development of de-escalation interventions are discussed.

Published: February 2025

Study design: Descriptive cross-sectional studyMethods: Patients who had a fever of 101oF or higher in the previous 72 hours and were suspicious of having malaria were tested for the occurrence and species recognition of the parasite using thin and thick films of peripheral blood taken by light microscopy. Non-probability consecutive sampling was used to choose 500 individuals over the age of 12 who had a confirmed malarial parasite (MP) on a peripheral blood film. Strict inclusion and exclusion criteria were followed. Complete Blood Count (CBC) was performed on all patients to look for the total white blood cells (WBC) count. Leukopenia was defined as WBC counts less than 4000 cells per mm3.Results: All the 500 included patients were malarial parasite positive on smear. Out of these 318 (63.6%) were male and 182(36.4%) were female. Among all 482 (96%) were P. vivax positive showing that it is the most common plasmodium species in the Northwestern regions of Pakistan. P. falciparum infection was found in a significantly lower population with only 14(2.8%) cases in our study and 4 cases of mixed infection of both P.vivax and P.falciparum were reported. The Total White Blood Cells (WBC) count was found to be less or equal to 4000/mm3 in 108 (21.6%) cases. This showed that malaria can cause leukopenia in a considerable amount of individuals.Conclusions: The present study indicates that the decrease in total white blood cells count occur in patients having malaria and is more frequently seen in plasmodium Vivax.

The most common cause of maternal death was hemorrhage noted in 21 cases (32.31%) followed by hypertensive disorders in 15 cases (23.08%) and pulmonary embolism in 14 cases (21.54%). Septicemia caused 6 (9.23%) of the maternal deaths. Cardiac disease and hepatic failure were noted in 2 (3.08%) cases. Most of patients were multi gravida falling in the age range of 31-40 years. 47 (72.31%) of the women did not receive antenatal care.
Conclusion: The major causes of maternal mortality like hemorrhage, hypertensive disorders and pulmonary embolism are preventable, if prompt and appropriate management strategies are developed and provided in time.

Authors: Shamsher Saadia , Amin Said
Published: February 2025

Background
The pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has exposed vulnerable populations of pregnant ladies to an unprecedented global health crisis. The data from previous human coronavirus pandemics suggest that pregnant women and their fetuses are particularly susceptible, leading to poor outcomes. The objective of this study was to summarize the clinical manifestations and maternal and perinatal outcomes during pregnancy in pandemic COVID-19 and compare them with non-pandemic in 2019.
Material and Methods
A total of 2169 pregnant women in the third trimester of their pregnancies who delivered in our hospital from May 2020 to August 2020 were selected as observation group (during pandemic COVID-19), while 1812 pregnant ladies who gave birth from May 2019 to Aug 2019 as a control group (during non-pandemic). A comparative analysis of the two groups was performed with the chi-square test, and P-value was calculated for significance between the two groups.
Results
 The difference in the overall rate of maternal complications and fetal outcome was not statistically significant. The maternal complications post-term pregnancy and preterm delivery (P<0.05) are significantly more in the observed group than in the control group.
Furthermore, we found that among fetal outcome birth asphyxia was significantly more in the observed group than the control group.
Conclusion:
In the COVID-19 pandemic and the antenatal care provision, this comparative analysis of maternal and fetal complications shows an excellent management plan despite robust applications of pandemic SOPS, as there is no significant difference in both groups.

Objective: To know about micronutrients deficiency in Children with PCM compared to standard values.
Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at department of pediatric Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar from January 2017 to December 2017.Total of 100 patients who were diagnosed as PCM using Z scoring were included in the study. Data was calculated by non probability sampling technique using predesigned questionnaire including questions of interest. The data was analyzed with SPSS 18. For continuous variables like Hb level, ferritin level mean and SD was calculated while for categorical variables frequency and percentage was calculated. For comparison of Hb and Ferritin level with standard value one sample T test was used.
Results: Out of total 100 study population 44 were male,56 females, 40 from urban while 60 from rural area. Age of the patients showed that children of age from 8 - 14 months have maximum number of micronutrient deficiency, after 20 months, it slightly decreased but by 30 months again the number of children increases. Though there is downfall at 35 months but raises again by 40 months of life. When different variables of our study population were compared with standard normal level we found a significant difference between Hb (Mean 8.118 ±2.4, p<0.001), ferritin (Mean 186.27 ±373, p 0.01),zinc(Mean 77.08 ±21.9, p<0.001 ),  and calcium level(Mean 6.9 , p <0.001 ).
Conclusion: We found a significant difference between Hemoglobin, ferritin, zinc and calcium level of our study population and standard values.

Background and Objective: The primary aim of our research work is determining the frequency ofcongenital heart disease in children of age 2 months to 5 years with heart murmur.Materials and Methodology: This is a descriptive cross-sectional research that was carried out inDepartment of Pediatrics, Saidu Teaching Hospital from July 2019 to June 2020.This study included 150 children with heart murmur. An approval from hospital ethical committee andinformed written consent from the parents/guardian of the cases were taken. A detailed clinicalexamination was performed in an inaudible room with the help of a stethoscope. For confirmation ofcongenital heart disease echocardiography was performed. Congenial heart disease was gradedbased on the variations in age and gender. We applied a diagnostic test termed as Chi-square afterdata stratification and considered the p value less than 0.05 as pertinent.Performance validation and Results: Our study shows that 59% patients were in the range of 2 to 5years while 41% patients were found to be age less than 2 years. The Mean age was considered as 1year with Standard Deviation (SD) of ± 1.26. The male and female patients’ ratio was 56:44. Theincidence of congenital heart disease with heart murmur was found in 58% patients in our study.Conclusion: The major finding of our work reveals that frequency of congenital heart disease withheart murmur was found in 58% patients in our setup among patients in the age range of 2 months to5 years.
