Authors: Ali M. Asif , Haque Mujammel , Islam M. Ridwanul , Talukder Manik K.
Published: February 2025

Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is the most common cause of acquired heart disease in childhood. Coronary artery abnormalities may occur in 15-25% of children with KD. Our study aimed to analyze the demographic, clinical, laboratory profile and initial echocardiographic changes of coronary arteries among KD patients admitted in a tertiary care center in Bangladesh.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of 66 children diagnosed with KD admitted in the Department of Paediatrics from July 2010 to March 2023 at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Results: We found that 51.5% patients had complete KD while 48.5% had incomplete KD. Clinical profile showed fever, extremity changes, oral mucosal changes, maculopapular rash, cervical lymphadenopathy and non-purulent conjunctivitis in 100%, 72.7%, 68.2%, 62.1%, 50% and 48.5% cases respectively. Echocardiography done at the time of diagnosis demonstrated coronary artery abnormalities among 48.5% cases. Overall, 15.2% cases had small aneurysms, 7.6% patients had medium aneurysms and 4.5% cases had large or giant aneurysms in our study. Majority of the patients had developed LCA abnormalities (42.4%) followed by RCA abnormalities in 21.2% cases and LCX abnormalities in 7.6% cases.
Conclusions: In this study, we observed a slightly higher frequency of the complete KD (51.5%) in comparison to incomplete KD patients. Fever was the most consistent clinical feature followed by extremity changes, oral mucosal changes, maculopapular rash, cervical lymphadenopathy and lastly non-purulent conjunctivitis. Initial echocardiography revealed 48.5% patients with KD had coronary artery abnormalities with a predilection towards left coronary artery.
Multiple accessory tragi in a male child
Authors: Daniel Samuel Jeyaraj , Ganesh J. Balaji , Saranya S. , Desingh K.
Published: February 2025

Accessory tragus (AT) is a congenital abnormality of the external ear which was first described by Birkett in 1858. AT is typically found in the preauricular region, though it can also occur less commonly in the mandibular or cervical regions. This cartilaginous protrusion, commonly known as the preauricular tag, is a rudimentary tag of ear tissue. With an incidence rate of 0.2-0.5%, this abnormality is believed to be an autosomal dominant hereditary condition caused by an abnormality in the development of first or second branchial arch. Patients with accessory tragus are more likely to be males and typically appear unilaterally. It may exist alone or in groups with a distinct morphology and location. Here, we report a case of multiple accessory tragi in a male child affecting the tragus and cheek with no other malformations.
Enbal Agribusiness Development Strategy in The Kei Islands, Southeast Maluku Regency
Authors: Timisela Natelda R , Sari Raja M , Tahitu Florensya
Published: February 2025

Enbal plant is a mainstay commodity in Southeast Maluku Regency because it has been widely diversified into value-added and selling value products. They can anticipate future food insecurity, so it can be an alternative to support national food security, especially in Maluku. This study aims to find out the various internal and external factors that influence the development of Enbal agribusiness and formulate the Enbal agribusiness development strategy in Southeast Maluku Regency. The research was carried out in the Kei Kecil Islands, Southeast Maluku Regency. The research locations are in three villages/Ohoi, namely Kelanit, Wain, and Debut. The research location was chosen deliberately with a specific purpose (purposive sampling) because the people in these villages generally work as farmers and enbal processing. The sample in this study amounted to 30 people who were taken by the census, and seven experts from BaLitbang agencies, the Agriculture Service, and the Ohoi/Village Government were selected intentionally (purposive sampling). The data collection stage evaluates internal factors and external factors, which are formulated into a table of internal strategic factors or IFAS (Internal Strategic Factors Analysis Summary) and external strategy tables or EFAS (External Strategic Factors Analysis Summary).  The SWOT analysis results produce seven alternative strategies that can be applied in developing enbal agribusiness. The results of the QSPM analysis resulted in the right strategic priorities to be used in the development of agribusiness in Southeast Maluku Regency, namely the development of areas for processing enbal centers by increasing facilities both in terms of production and marketing to increase visitor engagement with a TAS (Total Attractive Score) value of 5.380.
Encouraging Dialogue on Academic Integrity: A Scenario-Based Approach
Authors: Tooher Michelle , Greene Mairead
Published: February 2025

This paper recommends that explicit value be placed on promoting dialogue among staff and students with respect to academic integrity in higher education. A detailed literature review revealed a notable lack of literature on resources and practices for professional development of staff on academic integrity or the importance of engaging academic staff in such training. Through the authors’ experience in developing and facilitating workshops, they have designed a flexible approach to academic integrity professional development for academic staff that highlights the importance of discussion and communication. Throughout this workshop development, scenarios were created to prompt discussion on a wide range of academic integrity issues (including Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)). In total, 18 workshops addressing academic integrity have been run by the authors and attended by 180 staff and 85 students at local, national, and international levels. This experience-based paper situates the need for professional development on academic integrity within the current literature and shares the evolution of the authors’ training workshops and resource development. Readers are encouraged to use the resources in their own contexts to prompt dialogue within their institutions on academic integrity.
Developing Policies to Address Historic Contract Cheating and Misuse of Generative Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Lancaster Thomas , Glendinning Irene , Dann Sandie , Crockett Robin , Draper Michael
Published: February 2025

When students submit written assignments for assessment, they are generally trusted to have completed these honestly, and to have benefitted from the opportunity to learn. Academic integrity breaches are sometimes detected during the assessment process. Some common examples of integrity breaches during students’ academic writing include contract cheating, the unauthorised use of GenAI technology for completing assignments, and using AI tools to disguise existing work so that it appears to be original. None of these are new phenomena. Processes and procedures should be in place for managing suspected academic misconduct cases detected during the assessment process. But what happens when academic misconduct is detected retrospectively, sometimes after a student has moved degree programmes or graduated?
This position paper sets out the case for universities and other academic institutions having procedures in place to deal with historic academic misconduct. It provides examples of how institutions can become aware of misconduct, including through whistleblowing and through development of more effective detection software. The authors bring together legal and educational expertise to suggest considerations that individual institutions should make towards future policy development. The discussion considers that students must be supported and prepared for success, but that institutions cannot ignore the reputational risks associated with cases of historic misconduct.
Generative AI for Academic Writing: Case Studies Beyond Simple Chatbot Interactions
Authors: Lancaster Thomas
Published: February 2025

This teaching practice paper shows how students may choose to work with ChatGPT, generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) to produce essays and written assessment solutions in a manner that may be considered as either acceptable or as a breach of academic integrity depending on individual and institutional views. Following a brief introduction to how chatbots work, case study examples show how modified prompts can be used to generate writing in alternative styles, how a writing tutor review can be simulated, and how LLMs can be run locally and without Internet access. The paper is intended to inform academic writing tutors, instructors, and assessors what is possible using generative AI for writing as of January 2024. It is not positioned to make a judgement regarding what is acceptable, but rather to illustrate how technically proficient users can accomplish more than is often indicated by writing beginner level prompts for a chatbot. Such techniques are accessible to many students and the Academic Writing Development community will need to consider its response.
Is Peer Review Fit for Purpose? Enhancing Integrity and Professional Standards in Publications

Published: February 2025

Peer review is crucial for academic research, when checking manuscripts for publishing, considering proposals for research funding, and deciding which submitted contributions to include in conference programmes. Peer reviewers are tasked with assessing readability, scientific merit, accuracy, reliability, novelty, relevance, completeness and focus. Conscientious, experienced peer reviewers add considerable value to scientific manuscripts by working with authors, especially Early Career Researchers (ECRs), to help them achieve the required standards set by editors and publishers.
Given the centrality of peer review to academia, it is easy to forget that peer review is often voluntary and unpaid, requiring considerable time and resources. Without peer reviewers, editors and publishers, and conference organisers, many of whom are also voluntary and unpaid, would be tasked with reviewing submissions. This would require considerable time and diverse knowledge and skills, even when the scope of topics for submissions is narrow.
The recent substantial rise in the number of journal article retractions, affecting both large and small publishers, raises questions about why the traditional checks and balances put in place by the publishers, especially peer review, do not uncover the problems.
This paper will explore both the merits of effective peer review and root causes of problems currently being experienced, with consideration of how peer review could be improved to serve future requirements.
References, Paraphrases and Quotations: Essentials for Writing a Non-plagiarized Text
Authors: Peters Martine , Boies Tessa , Vincent François , Beauchemin-Roy Sarah
Published: February 2025

This article examines how four students in high school or college choose to integrate sources in their assignments using quotation and paraphrases. Implementing an innovative methodology, a digital screen capture software was used to record all the participants’ actions as they wrote a 500-word argumentative essay. A video of each participant’s actions was produced. These actions translated as quantitative results and showed the frequency of various actions grouped within five categories of strategies linked to various skills (informational skills, writing skills, referencing skills, basic computer skills and task compliance skills) and a sixth category linked to plagiarism actions. The four texts were also analysed for their quality and their level of plagiarism.
Results show that the college students performed better on overall text quality, but their texts contained more plagiarism. When looking at the strategies used, all students spent more time on their informational and writing strategies than on their referencing strategies. When using sources, in general, participants had more difficulties with paraphrasing than with quoting, often not referencing their paraphrases, which resulted in plagiarism. Patterns emerged for the data showing four types of actions when integrating sources in assignments: the casual integrator, the aspiring integrator, the fearless integrator and the ethical integrator. For each profile, recommendations on how to better develop students’ paraphrasing, quoting, and referencing skills are provided.
Teaching Academic Writing Skills: A Narrative Literature Review of Unifying Academic Values through Academic Integrity
Authors: Hysaj Ajrina , Khan Zeenath Reza , Freeman Mark
Published: February 2025

Academic integrity continues to concern educators worldwide. Furthermore, general guidelines for ensuring academic integrity do not seem to encompass all the angles that are required to be taken into consideration when exploring the factors that contribute to multicultural students’ decision to adhere to the norms and values of academic integrity.  This literature review focuses on how academic values can be unified through academic integrity, and specifically explores factors and perspectives of utilising academic integrity to unify academic values when teaching academic writing. The dimensions of academic values explored in this paper are: a) beliefs and attitudes of multicultural undergraduate students and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), b) the value of academic performance in academic writing classes, c) exploring the development of multicultural students’ authorial voice while maintaining academic integrity, and d) using technology to encourage academic integrity in academic writing classes. Over 56 identified sources were chosen carefully to ensure unbiased approaches to the issues of academic integrity and development of academic writing skills. The authors explored the issues from a variety of perspectives. The gap noticed in the review of literature is the disconnection between academic values and academic integrity. The authors make recommendations for future research.

Published: February 2025

Este artigo apresenta a situação dos ciganos quanto ao processo de inclusão no sistema de cotas das instituições estaduais e federais de ensino superior da Paraíba. Inicialmente, traçamos um panorama histórico da situação da comunidade cigana no Brasil, abordando as características físicas, raciais e culturais frequentemente atribuídas a eles. A pesquisa foi conduzida por meio de revisão documental e observações diretas das reuniões das comissões de planejamento na UEPB, IFPB, UFPB e UFCG. Constatamos que o sistema de cotas abrange diversas minorias, como negros, indígenas, quilombolas, transexuais e deficientes físicos. No entanto, apesar da significativa presença de comunidades ciganas na região, o processo de inclusão permanece estagnado, quando se destina aos ciganos. Consideramos que a política de cotas é uma ferramenta essencial para a reparação e inclusão dos ciganos, contribuindo para combater estigmas e possibilitando um futuro em que as próximas gerações tenham igualdade de oportunidades no mercado de trabalho.
Nas ondas da comunicação: ciganos e Podcast
Authors: Dantas José Aclecio , Goldfarb Maria Patrícia Lopes
Published: February 2025

Este artigo é fruto das ações integradas do projeto de extensão “Ciganos e Podcasts: a antropologia como instrumento de democratização do saber”, realizado em colaboração com o Grupo de Estudos Culturais (GEC) da Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), e apresenta e reflete os efeitos destas ações entre os jovens ciganos participantes. O projeto ofereceu oficinas para os jovens da comunidade cigana em Sousa-PB, integrando os estudos sobre a cultura e identidade cigana com os conhecimentos locais, além de associar a prática dos podcasts às necessidades cotidianas da comunidade. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa que envolveu leituras e debates a respeito de temas importantes sobre a construção das identidades étnicas ciganas. O projeto, implementado durante 12 meses, esteve estruturado em quatro fases: pesquisa bibliográfica e estudo sobre as temáticas relacionadas à história e às identidades ciganas; os conceitos básicos que permeiam tais histórias e identidades; a escuta atenta e os debates com os jovens da comunidade; e a articulação com instituições locais, a capacitação em mídias digitais e o planejamento e produção de um podcasts. Os dados coletados indicaram engajamento dos jovens ciganos na criação e divulgação de mídias que promovem o conhecimento e a valorização de sua cultura na sociedade, facilitando a fluidez e a mobilidade das fronteiras identitárias entre ciganos e não ciganos. Indicaram também que os jovens ciganos envolvidos no projeto, no bojo dos “criadores de conteúdos”, diante da possibilidade de escolha da plataforma utilizada, na maioria das vezes, optaram por mídias digitais que rendessem visualizações e monetizações.

Revisiting Culture: Reforming Christian Cultural Identity
Authors: Widjaya Yesaya Adhi
Published: February 2025

This paper discusses the impact of Christianity on today’s culture, so it is written from a Christian perspective. Culture, whether we realize it or not, has a powerful impact on human life. It shapes people's worldview, thinking patterns, life habits, goals, pursuits, choices, and desires. This paper aims to recall the engagement and activeness of Christians in culture, for if not, then Christianity will not have any impact in people's lives, rather it is the world that will influence and shape Christianity. The method used is a literature review, specifically the fine and incisive literatures on the cultural engagement of Christianity. This discussion of cultural engagement will use a four-question structure: "Who Am I, Where Am I, What's Wrong, and What's the Remedy." It is intended that the results of this study will reawaken the consciousness of every reader to reflect on the urgency of Christian cultural engagement in the formation of culture today. At the end, when Christians could re-engage in culture again, Christ and His lordship will once again shine, influence and permeate all aspects of human life for the glory of God.
Model Pembelajaran Inkuiri Yurisprudensi untuk Mengembangkan Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Siswa SD pada Pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen [Jurisprudence Inquiry Learning Model to Develop Critical Thinking Skills of Elementary Students in Christian Religious Education Lessons]
Authors: Tumilantouw Kireina Gabriela , Lindawati Lindawati
Published: February 2025

Christian education views critical thinking skills as an important aspect because, through critical thinking skills, students are encouraged to differentiate between correct and incorrect information. Critical thinking skills can also guide students to correct knowledge and be able to prove these truths in the classroom. Critical thinking skills in Indonesia are still very low. This is proven by the low PISA results achieved by Indonesia in 2018. Therefore, one way to develop critical thinking skills is to apply the Jurisprudential Inquiry learning model. The Jurisprudential Inquiry learning model can encourage students' critical thinking skills because students are continuously involved in learning to analyze and solve problems. This learning model can also stimulate students' curiosity about something so that students will take the initiative to look for facts and data related to the problem being discussed. This learning model is still relatively new and has been implemented in several middle and upper secondary schools. However, it is still not widely implemented, especially at the elementary school level because it is relatively new. This research aims to examine the importance of the Inquiry Learning Model in developing elementary students' critical thinking skills. The author uses a qualitative descriptive research method

Authors: Aruğaslan Emine
Published: February 2025

In online microteaching, pre-service teachers (PSTs) deliver lessons through online platforms, thus acquiring valuable experience in effective use of technological tools. In refining these experiences, it is crucial for the PSTs to undergo self-, peer, and tutor assessments. This study examined the concordance among self-, peer, and tutor assessments in online microteaching practices, along with students’ views on their online microteaching experiences. A case study model was adopted, involving doctoral students enrolled in the Planning and Evaluation in Instruction course. The findings indicated alignment between students’ self-assessment and peer assessment, albeit with lower scores compared to those provided by the course tutor. Overall, students expressed positive views regarding online microteaching. They highlighted the benefits of critical thinking, self-reflection, and peer feedback in refining their teaching strategies. However, challenges such as time management, communication, and planning were noted by the students.

Authors: Xu Ting
Published: February 2025

This study aimed to identify and compare the efficiency of different theoretical (competence-oriented) and practical (system-activity) approaches to labour education of  college students in China using the Open edX online learning platform. The study was conducted at the Shengda College of Economics and Business Management. It involved 150 first-year college students and two full-time teacher-employees from the Labour Protection Department who had responsibility to ensure the quality of labour education and supervise the process of its introduction. The practical approach was 75% more effective when college students were allowed to choose work according to their preferences. The study showed that the practical approach decreased students’ motivation to work by 3%, while the average motivation with a theoretical approach was 45% higher than with a practical one, due to lack of physical work and exhaustion at work.
Apuntes sobre algunas tendencias de la música popular latinoamericana contemporánea

Published: February 2025

A principios de este siglo, los editores de un ambicioso y valioso proyecto editorial para conformar una enciclopedia contemporánea de América Latina y el Caribe desde las Ciencias Sociales me invitaron a preparar la “entrada” sobre “Música”. En este artículo quisiera compartir unos apuntes sobre las tendencias que considero sobresalientes en la música popular latinoamericana de las dos décadas siguientes. Muchos de los principales procesos examinados en el ensayo original siguen importando hoy en día. Su ausencia en el texto que sigue es para evitar repeticiones, no porque no se consideren pertinentes. En ese sentido, idealmente este ensayo debería leerse como epílogo o “puesta al día” de aquel. Es necesario aclarar también, que ambos siguiendo el espíritu de la enciclopedia, intentan examinar procesos latinoamericanos en su conjunto, lo que seguramente representa lagunas nacionales importantes, agudizada por limitaciones de fuentes y de conocimientos del autor respecto a algunas regiones.

This study aims to evaluate the representation of entrepreneurship in business studies syllabus in South African Schools. A qualitative research methodology was used to evaluate the entrepreneurship in South African secondary schools.  Furthermore, little representation of entrepreneurship in the syllabus and business studies have direct link with entrepreneurship. Currently, the Grade 10-12 curriculum for Business Studies focus on the development of knowledge, skills and values. This study calls for Self- Directed Learning in Business Studies Grades 10 -12 to promote entrepreneurship in South African Schools.  A purposive sample of ten Grade 12 teachers were selected from five secondary schools, to cater for all quintile 1 to 5 in Edendale circuit. A case study research design was employed. Data collection was prepared using face-to-face, semi-structured interviews. Generate data was analysed through thematic analysis.  The study adopted the Achievement Goal Theory. The findings indicated that challenges facing students is the lack of practical demonstration because business studies is a practical topics.  Moreover, the findings revealed obstacles in successful teaching and learning of business studies in secondary schools, due to lack of competent teachers, insufficient instructional resources and bad teaching methods. The study recommends for the implementation of self-direct learning program on entrepreneurship were learners for grade 8 to 12 can learn on their pace. In addition, incorporating entrepreneurship courses into the curriculum, fostering an entrepreneurial mind-set, and providing mentorship can equip learners with the skills and knowledge necessary to start their own businesses. Furthermore, collaboration with local entrepreneurial ecosystems, and funding organizations is important.

Balancing phenolic maturity and alcohol content: The impact of seed removal on red wines
Authors: Pérez Mendoza Ana Leticia , Martínez-Moreno Alejandro , Gómez-Plaza Encarna , Bautista-Ortín Belén
Published: February 2025

Climate change is significantly impacting in red grape ripening in warm climate regions, producing an imbalance between technological and phenolic maturation, due to the delay in the accumulation of phenolic compounds. That forces the winery to harvest the grape with a high sugar concentration, obtaining wines with a high phenolic compound content, but also with a high alcohol content. However, nowadays, consumers prefer to have wines with low alcohol content. A solution to reduce the alcohol content could be the obtention of wines from less ripe grapes, although in this case, the presence of immature seeds could increase wine astringency and bitterness. Seed removal of these unripe grapes could be a good solution, although it should not be forgotten that tannins are very important to assure wine colour stability through polymerisation with anthocyanins and the reduction of the concentration of these compounds may affect the potential of these wines for ageing. For that, the objective of this work is to evaluate how the total removal of seeds from unripe grapes from the Monastrell variety affects the phenolic and aroma compound concentration, colour and sensorial quality of the wines after 6 months of ageing in the bottle. Results showed that the removal of seeds from immature grapes significantly reduced astringency and enhanced the wine's sensory quality without negatively affecting the colour intensity of the wine. These findings suggest that total seed removal in unripe grapes can be a valuable oenological strategy to mitigate the challenges posed by climate change and produce Monastrell wines with a lower alcohol content without compromising their quality and offering the market the wine demanded by the consumer.
The role of artificial intelligence in recruitment: Examining candidate experience as a mediator and organizational culture as a moderator in quality of hires
Authors: Jamaluddin  , Alam Roslina , Lantara Niniek , Razak Andi Rosdianti , Hatidja St
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) implementation on recruitment outcomes, focusing on the mediating role of candidate experience and the moderating effects of trust in AI and organizational culture. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from human resource (HR) professionals across various industries in Indonesia. The results reveal that AI implementation positively affects candidate experience and the quality of hires, with candidate experience as a significant mediator in these relationships. Trust in AI is found to play a dual role, both directly influencing candidate experience and quality of hires and moderating the relationship between AI implementation and candidate experience. Organizational culture, particularly an innovation-oriented culture, strengthens the impact of AI implementation on candidate experience. The study contributes to the theoretical understanding of candidate experience as a higher-order construct and highlights the importance of trust and cultural alignment in AI-driven recruitment. Practical implications emphasize the need for transparent AI systems, regular feedback, and fostering an innovation-oriented culture to enhance recruitment outcomes. Limitations include the cross-sectional design and the focus on a single country, suggesting opportunities for future research to explore longitudinal effects and cross-cultural comparisons.

This is achieved through a combination of deterministic and stochastic elements. Deterministic elements include selection rules based on pheromone traces and heuristic information. Stochastic elements introduce an element of randomness and variability. This ensures exploration of new paths. Such a flexible structure makes ant colony algorithms extremely popular in complex and dynamically changing problems, such as the traveling salesman problem and the task of redistributing virtual machines. The subject of study in the article is methods of optimizing the placement of virtual machines of heterogeneous data centers. The purpose of the article is to improve the efficiency of resource use in heterogeneous virtualized data centers by redistributing virtual machines. The following results were obtained. The article presents the developed algorithm for redistributing virtual machines, based on the ant colony metaheuristics, which provides obtaining a migration matrix of virtual machines, differing from known algorithms by taking into account the heterogeneous structure of data centers and additional resources, which represent overhead costs required by the algorithms of virtual machines Live Migration, when calculating it. The developed support system provides flexibility, scalability and a high degree of adaptation to the conditions of modern heterogeneous data centers. It provides the ability to centralize management and monitoring, while supporting the requirements of cross-platform and integration with existing monitoring solutions, which makes it an important tool for ensuring the reliability and efficiency of data centers. Conclusion. The redistributing virtual machines support system not only simplifies the tasks of administrators, but also promotes more rational use of computing power, which is especially important in the context of today's dynamic development of IT infrastructure.

Background:

Periprosthetic osteolysis after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is a substantial problem. Bone grafting may be beneficial in the treatment of large osteolytic cysts; however, the literature regarding the outcomes of bone grafting is limited. This study analyzed the outcomes of autogenous bone grafting performed for the management of periprosthetic osteolysis following TAA.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed 42 ankles (41 Korean patients) that underwent autogenous bone grafting for periprosthetic osteolysis following TAA. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using visual analog scale for pain scores, Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale pain and disability scores, and American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Scale scores. Computed tomography (CT) was performed preoperatively and for at least 2 years postoperatively in order to evaluate the treatment response. Histology, prosthesis survivorship, reoperations, and complications were also evaluated.

Results:

The mean time to autogenous bone grafting was 64.4 months (range, 10 to 128 months), and the mean follow-up duration after autogenous bone grafting was 70.7 months (range, 24 to 137 months). All clinical scores significantly improved from preoperatively to the last follow-up visit. The mean osteolytic cyst volume improved from 4.8 cm3 (range, 1.1 to 19.4 cm3) to 0.8 cm3 (range, 0 to 6.5 cm3). A Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that TAA with subsequent bone grafting was associated with similar prosthesis survivorship (100% and 85.7% at 5 and 10 years, respectively) but inferior reoperation-free survivorship (93.4% and 68.4% at 5 and 10 years, respectively) compared with TAA without osteolysis or with non-progressive osteolysis.

Conclusions:

Autogenous bone grafting performed for the management of periprosthetic osteolysis after TAA produced favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes. However, there was still a higher risk of subsequent surgery even after successful bone grafting, compared with TAA without osteolysis or with non-progressive osteolysis. Our results suggest that autogenous bone grafting and serial CT scan monitoring over time may prolong the survivorship of TAA prostheses in ankles with periprosthetic osteolysis.

Published: February 2025

La presente investigación aborda el problema cada vez más preocupante de la contaminación lumínica en Perú, destacando la urgente necesidad de crear un marco normativo dedicado a reducir sus impactos negativos. Se inicia con una definición de contaminación lumínica como la intrusión excesiva o inapropiada de luz artificial en el entorno nocturno. Esta no solo obstaculiza la observación de los astros, sino que también desequilibra los ecosistemas, incide negativamente en la salud humana y modifica los comportamientos naturales de los animales.
El documento presenta un diagnóstico de la situación en Perú, en donde, a pesar de la rica biodiversidad y la importancia de los cielos nocturnos, se observa un incremento alarmante de la contaminación lumínica. La tesis procede a examinar legislaciones y políticas internacionales que han demostrado ser efectivas en la gestión de la contaminación lumínica, así como también se analizará las recientes disposiciones aprobadas en nuestra regulación nacional.
A partir de esta comparativa, se resalta la urgente necesidad de desarrollar e implementar un marco legal específico en Perú que regule la iluminación artificial, a pesar de la existencia de la Ley N° 31316, la cual establece disposiciones respecto a “la prevención y Control de la Contaminación Lumínica”. Esta normativa preexistente marca un primer paso, pero es imperativo avanzar hacia una regulación más detallada y completa que aborde de manera integral este problema.
Además, se destaca la urgencia de actuar para proteger la salud pública y preservar la biodiversidad, aspectos que ya están contemplados en la legislación vigente. En este sentido, una colaboración multisectorial se torna fundamental, no solo para combatir la contaminación lumínica, sino también para fomentar un desarrollo más sostenible y respetuoso con el medio ambiente y la cultura del país.
