La inmigración como tema polarizador en España
Authors: Bakdid Albane Kaoutar , Clavero Mira Esther , García Escribano Juan José
Published: February 2025

La polarización política es un fenómeno que ha adquirido creciente relevancia en las últimas décadas, especialmente en lo que respecta a temas sensibles como la inmigración, el aborto, el feminismo y el cambio climático. Tradicionalmente, el concepto de polarización se refiere al grado de división entre grupos o personas con base en factores políticos, económicos, culturales, religiosos o étnicos. Aunque este fenómeno ha sido objeto de estudio en Estados Unidos desde 1970, su reproducción en las democracias occidentales, especialmente en Europa, ha sido notable. Destaca el caso de España, que, junto con Grecia, se posiciona como uno de los países más polarizados en el mundo occidental. En este contexto, la inmigración ha emergido como uno de los temas más divisivos, debido a la percepción de amenaza que genera en términos identitarios y económicos, exacerbando las tensiones sociales y políticas. Este artículo se propone analizar cómo la polarización en torno a la inmigración se ha incrementado en los últimos años, destacando los factores que contribuyen a esta dinámica en el caso español.
«Redoblando la esperanza»: el retorno del Frente Amplio al gobierno de Uruguay
Authors: Cerro Fernández Raúl
Published: February 2025

El Frente Amplio uruguayo volvió a ganar unas elecciones presidenciales. Los cinco años en la oposición no terminaron de lastrar a esta fuerza política con más de medio siglo de existencia. Por el contrario, se vio reforzada y pudo presentarse a los comicios de 2024 celebrados en Uruguay como una opción política competitiva frente al Partido Nacional y sus socios de coalición. El presente artículo, en consecuencia, busca mostrar que el triunfo del Frente Amplio con Yamandú Orsi como su candidato no se comprende sin el proceso de autocrítica que llevó a cabo en sus años en la oposición y la capacidad de resiliencia que le otorga su compleja estructura partidaria.

Authors: Saleh Citra , Mohamad Santi , Talipi Nuzlan , Budiawan Shella
Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyze the level of adoption of digital technology by MSMEs in Gorontalo and its impact on operational efficiency. Data was obtained through questionnaires and interviews involving MSMEs in various sectors, such as food and beverages, handicrafts, and services. The study results show that adopting digital technology includes using QRIS as a payment method, digital financial management applications such as SI APIK, and digital marketing through social media. The adoption of this technology has proven to have a positive impact on MSME operational efficiency, including reducing operational costs, increasing time efficiency, and improving the quality of service to customers. A simple linear regression analysis revealed a significant influence between the adoption rate of digital technology and the operational efficiency of MSMEs, with a p < p-value of 0.05 and a positive coefficient. The discussion showed that QRIS speeds up transactions and reduces the risk of losing cash, financial management applications increase accuracy and efficiency in financial management, and digital marketing increases the competitiveness of MSMEs. However, implementation costs and lack of digital literacy are still obstacles. These findings support previous research on the benefits and challenges of digitalization for MSMEs.

Authors: Syahril Muh. Akbar Fhad , Karović Sadmir
Published: February 2025

Information and communication technology development has brought significant changes to the taxation system, including the emergence of increasingly complex cybercrimes. This study aims to analyze the evolution of cybercrimes in the digital taxation system and the strategies and challenges in dealing with them. The method used is qualitative normative with a literature study approach. The study results indicate that cybercrimes in taxation include identity fraud, fake tax refund schemes, and international tax evasion, with significant financial impacts. Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to the UU ITE provides a more substantial legal basis but still requires harmonization with existing tax regulations. The handling strategy involves applying digital forensics, artificial intelligence, and international cooperation. The main challenge lies in the complexity of cybercrime, which continues to grow, and the need for more comprehensive regulations. This study concludes that a holistic approach is needed to strengthen rules, increase technological capabilities, and educate taxpayers to overcome taxation cybercrimes in the digital era.

Authors: Elechi-Amadi Kemzi Nosike , Briggs Ojoye Ngoye
Published: February 2025

Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) refers to the enlargement of the prostate gland, a condition that is becoming prevalent in men of 40 years and older. This study investigated malondialdehyde and lipid parameters in testosterone-induced benign prostate hyperplasia in albino rats. Forty-two (42) albino rats weighing 180-240 g were acclimatized for two weeks and divided into 6 groups of 7 rats each. The BPH was induced using 4 mg/kg testosterone propionate in groups 2-6, and treatment was as follows; Group 1(Negative control), Group 2 (Positive control; induced with BPH and not treated), Group 3 (induced with BPH and treated with 1000 mg/kg of plantain root extract), group 4 (induced with BPH and treated with 0.45 mg/kg of Avodart), group 5 (induced with BPH and treated with combination of herbal extract and Avodart) and group 6 (prophylactic group; treated with herbal extract then induced with BPH). At the end of the treatment, the rats were sacrificed via cardiac puncture. Blood samples were collected into plain bottles for the assay of prostate specific antigen (PSA), malondialdehyde (MDA), and lipid profile.
The results indicate that the PSA and MDA levels in the treated groups were significantly lower than the levels in the positive control group. However, there were no significant differences in the levels of the lipid parameters. The results from this study indicate that lipid abnormalities are not prevalent in the onset or progression of BPH. It is recommended that lipid parameters be assayed in the management of BPH in order to confirm or rule out changes in lipid parameters.

Authors: Ovwigho Ashoro, Collins , Dicta Ogisi , Felix Achoja , Peter Emaziye Otunaruke
Published: February 2025

South-South Nigeria was chosen for the research as most people were farmers. Multistage sampling procedure was used in obtaining 640 respondents. The data were collected with the help of structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and likert rating scales. The incubatees were mostly youth who were mostly singled while the non-incubatees were elderly and married. The education status of incubatees and non-incubatees was secondary education with low household size. The mean income difference of incubatees and non-incubatees was 432,908 Naira revealing 21.4% increase in income. Cassava, fisheries, oil palm, plantain, rice and poultry were the major focus of the incubatees. Most beneficiaries of the incubation model were youths and LIFE-ND were mostly involved in the incubation model in the area. The financial / business support system ranked 1st was mostly available to incubatees while the least was infrastructural support systems ranked 4th. The incubatees selection criteria were more focus on unemployed youth. The null hypothesis was rejected since there existed a positive statistically significant correlation relationship between the socioeconomic characteristics of the incubatees and income.  Hence it is recommended that establishment should be involved in agricultural incubation model since it is source of income and youth employment.

Authors: Okechukwu Victor Uchenna , Onwukeme Valentine Ifenna
Published: February 2025

Ecological and health risk of selected heavy metals and Organochlorine pesticide residues (OCPs) were assessed in Water and Sediments from Otamiri River in Imo state, Nigeria. Water and sediment samples were collected during rainy and dry periods from three different points and mixed together to form a composite sample. Pesticide residues and heavy metals were analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrophotometer respectively. The concentration of heavy metal during rainy and dry season ranged from ND to 1.56 mg/l and ND to 3.61 mg/l for water samples, 0.005 to 1.8 mg/kg, and 0.008 to 1.0 mg/kg for sediments respectively. The geo-accumulation index Igeo(x) of heavy metals on sediment ranged from 0 to 0.7 while the values of pollution index were greater than one, signifying heavy metal pollution status of the river. The ecological risk index showed that Nickel and Cadmium had moderate to considerable ecological risk ranging from 129.9-348. The OCP residues concentration ranged from ND to 6.35 mg/l and ND to 4.55 mg/l for water samples, ND to 3.22 mg/kg and ND to 3.5 mg/kg for sediments during rainy and dry season respectively, with predominance of BHCs, DDTs and heptachlor epoxide in water and sediment matrixes. The pesticide residues found in the present study were generally below the maximum residues limit (MRL) set by FAO/WHO bodies. Ecological risk using the Risk quotient was found to be (RQ ≥1) during both seasons and shows higher risks for β-HCH, endosulphan sulfate and p,p′-DDT. The non-carcinogenic risk hazard index (HI) values of both exposure routes were less than one. Conversely, the estimated carcinogenic risk by OCPs through ingestion exposure ranged from 8.142E−9 to 1.20E−7 and 6.36E-7 to 6.44E-4 while dermal range from 3.4E-11 to 2.14E-8 and 7.14E-7 to 8.6E-4 for adults and children respectively, showing considerable carcinogenic risk associated to p,p′-DDT, heptachlor epoxide, α- HCH and aldrin. There is need for regular monitoring of the river to ensure water quality sustainability due to environmental and health risk of the levels of heavy metals and OCPs.
The Role of Community Health Workers in Enhancing Rural Primary Healthcare and Health Outcomes in Nigeria: A Review
Authors: Adepoju Lukman Ademola , Onafuye Bolade Atinuke , Megbuwon Temitope , Ogunseye Olusola Olabisi
Published: February 2025

Healthcare is an essential right of every citizen and resident. Almost half of Nigerian population live in rural communities where access to healthcare is limited. The Federal government of Nigeria has done well to decentralize healthcare by creating more Primary Healthcare Centers (84.8%), 70% of which are in the rural communities. The heartbeat of Primary Health Care centers (PHCs) is the Community Health Workers (CHWs) with between 60% and 70% of the workforce in PHCs being CHWs. There are limited professional healthcare personnel in rural communities making CHWs perform functions outside their scope. This direct involvement ranges from providing support services to prescribing On the Counter (OTC) drugs. These extended services have significantly impacted both the quality of service (healthcare delivery) as well as the outcome (of diagnosis and treatment). The involvement of CHWs has helped in rapid response to reported health cases as well as in prevention of epidemics and management of pandemics. CHWs have also helped in reducing childbirth and in family planning issues. However, only about 20% to 30% of CHWs have formal training in healthcare management. This has often led to misinformation of patients and inaccurate diagnosis which have had serious negative impact on the outcome of patients’ health management. The government will do well to provide continuous training to CHWs, provide opportunities for advancement as well as financial motivation. The government should also provide infrastructures that will make their service delivery seamless. The introduction of Tele-Medicine into healthcare delivery in rural communities will also enable easy and rapid access to professional advice especially in times of emergency. This if put in place will ensure proper healthcare delivery and successful healthcare outcomes at PHCs in rural communities of Nigeria.

Mode of Action of Retinoic Acid in the Regulation of Glucose Metabolism in Mud Crab, Scylla serrata: Evidence for the Involvement of Crustacean Hyperglycemic Hormone
Authors: Venkaiah K. , Reddy M. Hanuma , Sainath S.B.
Published: February 2025

In the current study, we evaluated the effect of retinoids, 9-Cis retinoic acid (9CRA) and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on carbohydrate metabolism in the mud crab, Scylla serrata. Intact and eyestalk ablated male crabs (n=10 crabs per group) were selected and retinoic acid isomers, 9CRA and ATRA were injected into the crabs. Parallel controls were maintained. Significant reduction in the hemolymph sugar levels was observed in crabs subjected to eyestalk ablation (ESX) over intact crabs. Injection of 9CRA into intact but not in ESX crabs exhibited a dose- and time-dependent manner hyperglycemic response. ATRA administration did not induce hyperglycemia either in intact or ESX crabs. Injection of 9CRA showed a significant decrease in total carbohydrate content and glycogen levels in hepatopancreas and muscle tissues of intact crabs over their respective controls. Further, the activity levels of glycogen phosphorylase were also elevated in selected tissues of intact crabs administered with 9CRA. In addition, intact crabs which received 9CRA resulted in up regulation of expression of CHH mRNA from the eyestalks. Taken together, we postulate that 9CRA-induced hyperglycemia might be ascribed to neurotransmitter effects mediating the release of CHH from the eyestalk. The release of CHH eventually caused glycogenolysis in the selected hepatopancreas and muscle tissues of the mud crab Scylla serrata thereby hyperglycemia.

This research analyzes efforts to fulfill human rights through the forced stay policy for foreign nationals in Bali during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-2021. The pandemic caused a significant decline in Bali's tourism sector and impacted the mobility of foreigners who were forced to stay longer due to lockdowns. The Indonesian government issued Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation Number 8 of 2020 as a form of legal protection that provides foreigners with certainty of residence permits in forced circumstances. This study uses a classical liberalism theory approach and descriptive qualitative research method to assess the government's role in ensuring the fulfillment of human rights, both for Indonesian citizens and foreigners. The findings show that this policy is not only a form of commitment to human rights, but also reflects the government's active response in maintaining legal stability in the midst of an emergency situation. However, the implementation of this policy faces administrative challenges and inter-agency coordination, which demands increased transparency and efficiency of services.

El liderazgo transformacional se define como un liderazgo en el que el líder motiva a inspirar a sus seguidores para alcanzar su máximo potencial, promoviendo el cambio y la innovación dentro de la organización. La toma de decisiones, por su parte, es el proceso mediante el cual se selecciona una alternativa entre varias opciones disponibles para resolver un problema o aprovechar una oportunidad. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el impacto del liderazgo transformacional en el proceso de la toma de decisiones en la cooperativa de ahorro y crédito Virgen del Cisne. Se utilizó un enfoque cuantitativo recurriendo a cuestionarios y encuestas para la recolección de datos y aplicando análisis estadísticos procesados mediante IBM SPPS Statistics 25, para validar los resultados obtenidos. Los resultados indicaron consistencias en las percepciones sobre las dimensiones del liderazgo transformacional, como carisma, inspiración, estimulación intelectual y consideración individualizada. No obstante, no se observaron diferencias significativas en las respuestas, lo que sugiere que las estrategias actuales podrían no estar abordando adecuadamente las necesidades del equipo corporativo. En cuanto a la toma de decisiones, la fiabilidad del instrumento y las diferencias significativas identificadas mediante el chi-cuadrado reflejan dificultades en fases críticas como escoger la opción e implementar la opción elegida. El estudio concluyó que es necesario personalizar las estrategias de liderazgo, mejorar la comunicación y la participación en el proceso decisional. Estos ajustes permitirán optimizar la eficacia organizacional y promover un crecimiento sostenible en la cooperativa.
Inovasi Terbaru dalam Pengobatan Diabetes: Suatu Perspektif Perpaduan Pendekatan Molekuler dan Sistemik

Diabetes melitus tipe 2 (DMT2) adalah salah satu tantangan utama di dunia kesehatan secara global. Penyakit ini ditandai oleh gangguan metabolisme glukosa akibat resistansi insulin, disfungsi sel beta pankreas, maupun kombinasi keduanya. Dalam beberapa dekade terakhir, terapi diabetes telah mengalami perkembangan pesat yang mencakup pendekatan molekuler, bioteknologi, dan sistemik.  Perkembangan ini tidak hanya menjanjikan peningkatan kualitas hidup pasien, tetapi juga merevolusi paradigma pengobatan yang sebelumnya dianggap statis.
Dalam konteks terapi insulin, inovasi signifikan lainnya adalah pengembangan formulasi gabungan IDegAsp, yang mengintegrasikan insulin degludec basal dan insulin aspart. Formulasi ini dirancang untuk menyederhanakan regimen terapi dengan satu suntikan harian, sekaligus memastikan fleksibilitas dalam pemberian dosis. Studi klinis menunjukkanbahwa IDegAsp tidak hanya meningkatkan kepatuhan pasien, tetapi juga mengurangi risiko hipoglikemia berat dibandingkan formulasi insulin konvensional. Dampaknya terhadap penurunan variabilitas glukosa harian menambah keunggulan klinisnya.
Kemajuan teknologi dalam dunia medis turut mendukung keberhasilan pengelolaan diabetes melalui closed-loop system, yang mengombinasikan pompa insulin dengan monitor glukosa kontinu. Sistem ini secaraotomatis menyesuaikan pemberian insulin berdasarkan tingkat glukosa darah secara real-time. Teknologi yang sering disebut sebagai “pankreas buatan” ini memberikan kontrol glikemik yang lebih stabil dibandingkan metode tradisional, serta meningkatkan kualitas hidup pasien

This study entitled “The effect of Product Development on Operational Performance: A Case Study of Ultimate Motors Plc" examines the relationship between product development initiatives and operational performance at Ultimate Motors. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining a quantitative survey of 98 employees across product development, manufacturing, and operations functions at Ultimate Motors. The data was collected through an online questionnaire distributed via email and Telegrams. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling, the results indicate that four key product development elements - assembly line, product design, research & development, and product innovation - collectively account for 78.3% of the variance in Ultimate Motors' manufacturing costs and production efficiency. A standout finding is the outsized influence of assembly line optimization, which alone explains 47.7% of the operational performance outcomes. Product design also emerges as a critical factor, contributing 21.6% of the variance. However, the study reveals that inadequate employee training limits the full utilization of advanced design tools. While research & development and product innovation show positive impacts, their relationships with manufacturing costs and production time are not statistically significant. In contrast, effective assembly line management proves to be a crucial lever, driving improved efficiency, reduced costs, and faster timelines. To enhance its operational competitiveness, the study recommends that Ultimate Motors should: adopt advanced CAD software, invest in design team training, leverage CASE tools for innovation, upskill the R&D function, and embrace automation and flexible production technologies.
