Authors: Matete Relebohile Paulus , Rathobei Libuseng Moureen
Published: October 2023

Factors that impede the physical health monitoring of patients with severe mental illness are multidimensional, and healthcare providers’ knowledge and expertise regarding antipsychotic medication and side effects remain key determinants of the frequency and quality of screening a patient shall be subjected to. This challenge transcends the monitoring of patients treated with antipsychotics, where scholars have determined a lack of knowledge about screening for adverse effects, resulting in poor clinical assessments among patients prescribed antipsychotics. This study aimed to describe nurses’ knowledge regarding antipsychotic medications and their side effects at the psychiatric hospital in Lesotho. To guide the research process, a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive approach was employed with 40 nurses out of 44 nurses as respondents, who were selected using convenience sampling, and respondents rated their knowledge regarding the side effects of antipsychotic medication using a Likert scale on a structured research questionnaire. The data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, analysed using SPSS (version 28), and displayed using tables, frequencies, standard deviations, and means. This study's female respondents comprised 30 (75.0%) and 10 (25.0%) males. The mean age was 39.05 (SD 8.9), with eight years of psychiatry experience. A total of 29 (72.0%) had sufficient antipsychotic knowledge (t = 36.38, df = 39, p < .000), 31 (78.3%) and had adequate knowledge of the side effects of antipsychotic drugs (t = 34.00375, df = 39, p < .000). In conclusion, this study reveals a positive trend in nursing knowledge about antipsychotic medications and associated side effects, highlighting the importance of ongoing professional development to maintain and enhance this expertise.

A Postcard to an Anonymous Reader: Lima Barreto’s Brazilian Diction in the Magazine Careta
Authors: Correa Felipe Botelho
Published: October 2023

This article analyses Lima Barreto’s Brazilian diction as suggested by Manuel Bandeira in 1929. I focus on the period between 1915 and 1922 when Lima Barreto collaborated to the magazine Careta, one of the most popular publications in that period, circulating widely within Brazil and abroad. I argue that Lima Barreto’s Brazilian diction goes beyond grammar and collocation issues and can be regarded as connected to the emerging visual culture of the period. In Careta he was able to reach a nationwide audience in a context of great advance of images over belletrism. In this context, I point out that Lima Barreto did not react against this process and indeed incorporated pictorial strategies into his pieces of mass circulation.
Multidisciplinary orthodontic-orthognathic management of severe skeletal Class III malocclusion and anterior open bite
Authors: Son Tong Minh , Anh Nguyen Viet , Ninh Dinh Vinh
Published: October 2023

This case report presents the multidisciplinary management of a patient with severe skeletal Class III malocclusion, anterior open bite, dentigerous cyst, and multiple restorations. The patient underwent orthodonticorthognathic treatment, autotransplantation, cyst removal, and esthetic rehabilitation with porcelain veneers. The presurgical orthodontic decompensation of the proclined upper incisors involved mini-screw-assisted entire upper arch distalization. The bimaxillary osteotomy included advancing the maxilla, mandibular setback, rotating the maxillomandibular complex clockwise, and moving the chin posteriorly. The role of multidisciplinary treatment is very important in orthognathic patients with compromised dentition. Autotransplantation could help patients avoid the need for prosthetic implants. Entire arch distalization could be a possible alternative to premolar extraction for presurgical orthodontic decompensation in cases of proclined incisors.

In order to raise attention to global warming around the world, the sustainability index has started to be traded in the field of finance in parallel with the regulations in many fields. This study examines the impact of being included in the Garanti BBVA climate index on firms' financial performance. The financial performance of companies included in the climate index was analyzed, taking into account the period in which they were included in the index. The dependent variables in the study are Tobin's Q and Market Value/Book Value (MV/BV). Financial risk, leverage ratio, growth rate, current ratio, and credit risk are used as control variables, while profit for the period and firm size are included in the model as independent variables. The study is analyzed using System GMM and robust Driscoll-Kraay estimator using quarterly data for the period 2017/1-2022/3. As a result of both analyses, it is concluded that leverage ratio and profitability variables positively affect firm performance.

Published: October 2023

La Réserve de biosphère de Samba Dia regorge d’importantes ressources végétales. Ces dernières font qu’elle est confrontée à de nombreuses menaces. L’espèce la plus visée par les populations est le rônier (Borassus akeassii). La présente étude vise à caractériser la végétation ligneuse de la Réserve de Biosphère de Samba Dia au plan floristique et structural afin de développer des stratégies de gestion durables. Pour ce faire, 216 placettes ont été inventoriées en zones clôturée et périphérique. Les données ont été traitées par la technique d’analyse univariée. L’analyse a mis en évidence une richesse floristique de 46 espèces, 36 genres et appartenant à 21 familles. Les Fabaceae, les Anacardiaceae et les Combretaceae sont les familles les plus représentées. Borassus akeassii représente 32,921% en zone clôturée et 64,293% en zone périphérique des espèces marquant le caractère arboré du peuplement avec des densités respectives de 29 et de 7 individus adultes ha-1. Ces faibles densités relevées seraient inhérentes à la pression anthropique et aux conditions climatiques défavorables. Toutefois, la structure horizontale s’ajuste mieux avec la fonction polynomiale avec une prédominance d’individus jeunes en zone clôturée (302 tiges ha-1) et d’individus d’âges multiples en zone périphérique (33 tiges ha-1). Cependant, la prolifération des Combretaceae surtout dans la zone clôturée est un signe négatif. Pour inverser la tendance, il est nécessaire de mettre un plan simple de gestion de la réserve pour le maintien et la conservation de la biodiversité.

Published: October 2023

Sericostachys scandens Gilg & Lopr. (Amaranthaceae), liane envahissante, représente une menace pour les espèces ligneuses des forêts tropicales. Cette étude vise à comparer les paramètres dendrométriques des peuplements ligneux entre les milieux envahis par S. scandens et les milieux non envahis, puis à estimer l’influence de S. scandens sur les stades de développement des espèces ligneuses (régénération, jeune arbre, arbre) dans le Parc National de la Kibira (PNK) au Burundi. L’abondance de S. scandens et des autres espèces ligneuses a été évaluée dans 100 placeaux de 50 m x 50 m (équitablement répartis entre les milieux envahis et les milieux non envahis du PNK) et soumise à une analyse de la covariance, à un test t de Student et à un modèle linéaire mixte avec pente et ordonnée à l’origine aléatoires. Les paramètres dendrométriques (densité, diamètre, hauteur et surface terrière) sont significativement plus élevées dans les milieux non envahis comparativement aux milieux envahis. La prolifération de S. scandens a un effet négatif sur la densité de tous les stades de développement. S. scandens affecte négativement les peuplements forestiers du PNK. Le contrôle de S. scandens pourrait améliorer le recrutement des espèces ligneuses.

Authors: Hutabarat Martha Elizabeth Clara , Jati Dian Rahayu , Desmaiani Herda
Published: October 2023

Sebagian besar aktivitas di pasar akan menghasilkan air limbah.  Air limbah di pasar biasanya berasal dari kios penjualan daging dan ikan karena banyak menggunakan air untuk mencuci. Selain itu, air limbah juga banyak dihasilkan dari kegiatan MCK. Kurangnya perhatian akan pengelolaan limbah cair pasar mengakibatkan limbah cair pasar yang dialirkan belum memenuhi persyaratan kualitas limbah cair karena terjadi kontaminasi mikrobiologi di dalamnya. Penelitian ini menilai bagaimana kondisi sanitasi dari beberapa pasar tradisional di Pontianak, yakni Pasar Flamboyan, Pasar Dahlia, Pasar Teratai, dan Pasar Kemuning sesuai Permenkes RI No.17 Tahun 2020. Kondisi sanitasi kemudian dikaitkan dengan jumlah bakteri E. coli dalam limbah cair pada masing-masing pasar yang telah diuji dengan metode MPN, di mana kehadiran bakteri ini sebagai parameter mikrobiologi penanda hadirnya patogen. Hasil penilaian kondisi sanitasi menunjukkan hanya Pasar Kemuning yang memenuhi syarat sebagai Pasar Sehat sesuai Permenkes RI No.17 Tahun 2020 dengan persentase sebesar 75,3%. Selain itu, hasil uji statistik bivariat menunjukkan bahwa terdapat korelasi yang kuat antara kondisi sanitasi pasar dengan keberadaan bakteri Escherichia coli pada limbah cair. Semakin baik kondisi sanitasi pasar, maka semakin baik juga kualitas mikrobiologi pada limbah cair di setiap pasar.

Pulsed Laser Activation Method for Hydrogen Storage Alloys
Authors: Silva Bruno , Almeida Juliana , Hernandes Antonio , Gonçalves Renato , Zepon Guilherme
Published: October 2023

The activation procedures of metals and alloys for hydrogen absorption might be a considerable challenge for large-scale applications of metal hydrides. In this work, the Pulsed Laser Activation (PLA) method for hydrogen storage alloys is introduced for the first time. We show that the hydrogen storage ability of an aged (air-exposed for 30 days) Ti11V30Nb28Cr31 body-centered cubic alloy is restored by scanning the sample with a nanosecond pulsed laser for only three minutes. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analyses were performed to investigate structural features that changed in the Ti11V30Nb28Cr31 samples after ageing and after the PLA treatment. Surface remelting, oxide layers and crack formation seem to be factors that affect the hydrogen storage ability of the Ti11V30Nb28Cr31 alloy activated via PLA. Although the mechanisms involved in the PLA are not clear yet, this procedure opens a new path for the development of activation methods based on laser-metal interactions which can be easily applied in alloys and metals for hydrogen storage systems.
Oligomerization of lithium ions in water-in-salt electrolytes
Authors: Goloviznina Kateryna , Serva Alessandra , Salanne Mathieu
Published: October 2023

Water-in-salts (WiS) have recently emerged as promising electrolytes for energy storage applications, ranging from aqueous batteries to supercapacitors. Here, ab initio molecular dynamics is used to study the structure of a 21 m LiTFSI WiS. The simulation reveals a new feature, in which the lithium ions form oligomer-like nanochains that involve up to 10 ions. Despite the strong Coulombic interaction between them, the ions in the chains are found at a distance of 2.5 Angstroms. They display a drastically different solvation shell compared to the isolated ions, in which they share on average two water molecules. The nanochains have a highly transient character due to the low free energy barrier for forming/breaking them. Providing new insights into the nanostructure of WiS electrolytes, our work calls for re-evaluating our current knowledge of highly concentrated electrolytes and the impact of the modification of solvation of active species on their electrochemical performances.
Rh(III)-Catalyzed N-Amino-Directed C-H Coupling with 3-Methyleneoxetan-2-Ones for 1,2-Dihydroquinoline-3-Carboxylic Acid Synthesis
Authors: Zhou Renpeng , Fan Shuaixin , Fang Lili , Chu Benfa , Zhu Jin
Published: October 2023

Polarity analysis is important for the deduction of organic reactivity but is largely restricted in the static polarity analysis regime. Dynamic polarity analysis is proposed herein as an expansive tool for quest into both static polarity and transient polarity, allowing the revelation of an augmented pool of reactivity patterns. Through this analysis formalism, polarity matching has been established for Rh(III)-catalyzed N-amino-directed C-H coupling with 3-methyleneoxetan-2-ones providing efficient access to 1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acids. The identified reaction, by virtue of the internal oxidative mechanism, showcases a mild reaction condition (room temperature), a short reaction time (2 h), and a generally high product yield. Taken together, the integration of static and dynamic polarity analysis creates a unified foundational framework for reactivity deduction and reactivity classification, in both organic and organometallic chemistry.
High conversion of methane to methyl ester at 298 K
Authors: Xu Lai , Mei Chong , Zhao Mengdi , Lu Wenjun
Published: October 2023

To establish an aerobic oxidation of methane to produce methanol in high yield under ambient conditions is one of dreams to researchers in both academia and industry. However, although a lot of progress has been made on methane functionalization for several decades, it is still a grand challenge to break through the selectivity-conversion limit in the aerobic oxidation of methane to methanol or methyl ester especially at room temperature. Herein we report a simple visible-light driven reaction of CH4/O2 with CF3CO2H (TFA) to CH3-O-COCF3 (MTFA) at 298 K, just using catalytic NaNO2 in aqueous HCl/TFA solution. In a batch reaction of CH4/O2 (1:5, 0.4 MPa), the yield of MTFA is over 90%. In a 7-day continuous experiment of CH4/O2 (2:1, 0.1 MPa), both the MTFA selectivity and the methane conversion are over 90% based on the input methane. The turnover frequency (TOF) is 2.5 mol_MTFA mol_(NaNO_2 )-1 h-1, and the turnover number (TON) is over 400. A reasonable reaction mechanism is suggested and partial confirmed by experiments, involving NOCl as a crucial species in the two-phase aerobic oxidation of methane to methyl ester. Methanol could be obtained by a common hydrolysis of MTFA at 298 K. Neither metal catalysts nor special reagents are necessary in this two-step conversion of methane to methanol.
Multi-Mechanophore Polymers for Mechanically Triggered Small Molecule Release with Ultrahigh Payload Capacity
Authors: Zeng Tian , Ordner Liam , Liu Peng , Robb Maxwell
Published: October 2023

Polymers that release small molecules in response to mechanical force are promising for a variety of applications including drug delivery, catalysis, and sensing. While a number of mechanophores have been developed for the release of covalently bound payloads, existing strategies are either limited in cargo scope, or in the case of more general mechanophore designs, are restricted to the release of one or two cargo molecules per polymer chain. Herein, we introduce a non-scissile mechanophore based on a masked 2-furylcarbinol derivative that enables the preparation of multi-mechanophore polymers with ultrahigh payload capacity. We demonstrate that polymers prepared via ring-opening metathesis polymerization are capable of releasing hundreds of small molecule payloads per polymer chain upon ultrasound-induced mechanochemical activation. This non-scissile masked 2-furylcarbinol mechanophore overcomes a major challenge in cargo loading capacity associated with previous 2-furylcarbinol mechanophore designs, enabling applications that benefit from much higher concentrations of delivered cargo.

Published: October 2023

Forensic Interviewing is a method of communicating with subjects within the Investigation Process, in order to obtain the most accurate information. In recent years, the child’s involvement in the legal system, both as victims of crime and witnesses, has increased. The problem facing the Researcher, is that there is not enough information in the literature regarding the evaluations of judges and professional staff on Forensic Interviews with children who are victims of sexual abuse. This study was planned in Istanbul and was carried out in three major courthouses in Istanbul. The research data was analysed using the Maxqda 2020 qualitative data analysis program. It was determined that the training on Forensic Interview with sexually abused children had been found sufficient by most of the judges, but insufficient by more than half of the professional staff according to the result of the research. It was determined that more than half of the judges did not attend the training and those who did attend, were unwilling to use the child- friendly interview rooms. Professional staff declared that there should be more practical training in the future training programs. It was found that in Istanbul, each judge was responsible for roughly 60 trials each month and this situation puts time pressure on them. This article was produced from a doctoral thesis.

Authors: KUŞKU ÖZDEMİR Emel
Published: October 2023

This study was conducted with the aim of revealing employees' perception of competence and determining which competence domains and sub-components are most associated with competence. Adopting a qualitative research approach, the study was designed using a phenomenological pattern, and research data were collected through an in-depth interview method. The research findings were interpreted based on the responses provided by private sector employees to questions in line with their professional experiences, focusing on their perceptions of professional competence and the types of competencies they highlight as crucial for success in today's competitive business environment.

According to the findings, the perception of competence among private sector employees is categorized into three main themes, namely technical/functional, fundamental/managerial, and behavioral/personal, which align with the literature. The most significant research finding obtained within the scope of this study is the participants' emphasis on communication competence as the most crucial type of competence in today's context. Additionally, participants have further delineated sub-themes of communication competence by discussing various types of communication competencies within the realm of work life. Among all participants, 'stakeholder communication' stands out as the most highlighted type of communication competence. Following stakeholder communication is intra-team communication, effective communication skills, persuasive communication, social communication, and empathetic communication. Furthermore, network-focused communication, marketing communication, professional language in communication, listening-persuasion in communication, and trustworthiness in communication emerge as sub-themes highlighted within the overarching theme of communication competence in the work environment.
Personality, Organizational Climate and Therapeutic Factors of Group Dynamics
Authors: MAMMADOVA Narıngul , ULUBAY Murat
Published: October 2023

This study aims to reveal how therapeutic factors of group dynamics are related to organizational climate and personality dimensions. These therapeutic factors are used to evaluate group strengths and limitations in clinical psychology (Yalom, 1995), and are now adapted to the field of organizational behavior. This adaptation aims to illuminate how an organization's psychological climate and its members' personality traits impact workplace socialization and team social interaction. As part of the research, the therapeutic factors scale (group dynamics inventory, GDI) (Phan et al., 2004)), was introduced into the Turkish context, and the necessary validity analyses were carried out. The study was conducted with a sample of service sector employees working as a group (in teams) in Ankara. The research results indicate that group dynamics had a positive and significant link with personality types and organizational climate. As a result, a positive relation was discovered between altruism, which is a group dynamics inventory sub-dimension and these personality dimensions, extraversion, agreeableness, and stability. When the link between organizational climate and group dynamics was explored, a positive and substantial association was discovered. As a result of the analysis, a positive relationship was found between reward, standards, and structure, which are sub-dimensions of organizational climate, and altruism and cohesiveness, which are sub-dimension of group dynamics.

Published: October 2023

This study examines the role of Vocational Training Centers in school-industry cooperation from the perspective of employers. Within the scope of the research, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 12 business owners operating in Ankara Organised Industrial Zone who have cooperated with Vocational Training Centers. The research reveals that vocational education centers in Turkey are of great importance in terms of training graduates in line with the needs of the business world. However, employers have serious difficulties in recruiting staff and mostly meet their labour force needs by employing foreign workers. Furthermore, school-industry cooperation is essential so that the education curriculum can better meet the needs of the business world and provide students with workplace experience.Employers value the "certificate of mastery" obtained at the end of training to increase employability. The study also underlines the need for effective school-industry co-operation mechanisms. A strong partnership between business and educational institutions can improve the vocational education system in Turkey and prepare the future workforce.
Assessing the Surge in COVID-19-Related Cyberbullying on Twitter: A Generalized Additive Model Approach
Authors: BALCIOĞLU Yavuz Selim , AKÇİN Kültigin
Published: October 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic's onset and the subsequent lockdowns drastically amplified digital interactions worldwide. These unparalleled shifts in online behavior birthed concerns about potential surges in cybersecurity threats, particularly cyberbullying. Our research aimed to explore these proposed trends on Twitter. Utilizing a dataset of 126,348 tweets from January 1st to September 12th, 2020, we honed in on 27 cyberbullying-related keywords, like 'online bullying' and 'cyberbullying'. Recognizing the limitations of traditional change-point models, we opted for a Generalized Additive Model (GAM) with spline-based smoothers. The results were revealing. A significant uptick in cyberbullying instances emerged starting mid-March, correlating with the global lockdown mandates. This consistent trend was evident across all our targeted keywords. To bolster our findings, we conducted lag-based assessments and compared the GAM against other modeling approaches. Our conclusions robustly indicate a strong association between the enforcement of pandemic lockdowns and a heightened prevalence of cyberbullying on Twitter. The implications are clear: global crises necessitate intensified cyber vigilance, and the digital realm's safety becomes even more paramount during such challenging times.
Intolerance of Uncertainty as a Mediator on the Relationship Between Adult Attachment and PTSD
Authors: ERUYAR Şeyda , YILMAZ Merve
Published: October 2023

Established evidence suggests that intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is associated with both adult attachment and traumatic stress, yet the role of IU as an underlying mechanism between attachment and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is to be explained. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of IU in the relationship between adult attachment styles and PTSD. A cross-sectional study with 335 university students was conducted in Turkiye. Life Events Checklist for DSM-5 (LEC-5), The Experiences in Close Relationships Revised (ECR-R) Questionnaire, The Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IU) and PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) were used to measure potential traumatic events (PTE), adult attachment styles, intolerance of uncertainty and PTSD, respectively. Results revealed that IU mediated the relationship between anxious and avoidant attachment and PTSD. The results offer a valuable understanding of the intricate interplay between attachment styles and PTSD, shedding light on the underlying factors that contribute to the emergence and persistence of PTSD symptoms. For those who have experienced trauma and show anxious or avoidant attachment patterns, combining strategies to address intolerance of uncertainty with attachment-oriented therapies could have beneficial effects on conditions like PTSD, which are often passed down between generations.
The Effect of Dark Personality Traits on The Tendency of Accountants Towards Accounting Fraud
Authors: SARIÇİÇEK Reyhan
Published: October 2023

It is known that the personality traits of professional accountants affect their attitudes towards fraud and unethical behavior. In this study, it is aimed to examine the effect of dark triad personality traits of accounting professionals on their tendency to commit accounting fraud. The research is important in terms of bringing a psychology and accounting-based study to the literature of our country, which is widely seen in the international literature. Data were collected from 307 professional accountants registered in the Chamber of Certified Public Accountants of Balıkesir through the questionnaire developed within the scope of the research. Obtained data were analyzed by using structural equation model through IBM SPSS 25 and AMOS programs. As a result of the research, it has been concluded that the psychopathy and Machiavellian dimensions of the dark personality traits of the professions affect the internal and external motivations of their tendency to commit accounting fraud, but the narcissism dimension from the dark personality traits does not influence the tendency of accounting professionals to commit fraud. By identifying individuals with dark triad personality traits, it is possible to reduce negative situations in the business environment, tendencies towards accounting fraud, unethical behaviors and actions.
Automated staging of zebrafish embryos with deep learning
Authors: Jones Rebecca A , Renshaw Matthew J , Barry David J
Published: October 2023

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an important biomedical model organism used in many disciplines. The phenomenon of developmental delay in zebrafish embryos has been widely reported as part of a mutant or treatment-induced phenotype. However, the detection and quantification of these delays is often achieved through manual observation, which is both time-consuming and subjective. We present KimmelNet, a deep learning model trained to predict embryo age (hours post fertilisation) from 2D brightfield images. KimmelNet’s predictions agree closely with established staging methods and can detect developmental delays between populations with high confidence using as few as 100 images. Moreover, KimmelNet generalises to previously unseen data, with transfer learning enhancing its performance. With the ability to analyse tens of thousands of standard brightfield microscopy images on a timescale of minutes, we envisage that KimmelNet will be a valuable resource for the developmental biology community. Furthermore, the approach we have used could easily be adapted to generate models for other organisms.

Film and television works in the form of audio-visual media are the youngest fields of art compared to other branches of art. As with other sectors, in Indonesia itself regulations for art are also governed by rules and laws (laws), both in terms of production, distribution and consumption. Not to limit creativity, but these rules are enforced to protect consumers (art connoisseurs) and the artists themselves from misuse of works of art such as elements of pornography, copyright abuse and so on. This paper is a descriptive analysis supported by literature on television and film available in libraries and online media.

Introduction: Vaccination is an extremely important and necessary act from the beginning of a human being's life. Aim: Unveil users' perception of the reasons for hesitancy and delay in vaccination. Outlining: This is an exploratory-descriptive study with a qualitative approach, through the application of a semi-structured interview with users (51) of the Basic Health Units (UBS) in the city of Tianguá – CE, data collection was carried out between November and December 2021, the interviews were transcribed, Bardin's content analysis technique (2016) was used to organize data and the results were presented with the help of the Iramuteq™ software. Results: four thematic categories were identified: 1 – Fear and dread of the adverse effects is a factor in the vaccine refusal, 2 – Challenges in ensuring user accessibility to vaccines, 3 – Users' distrust about the benefits of vaccines and 4 – Lack of information and understanding about the effects of non-adherence to vaccination. It was then found that hesitancy and/or refusal to get vaccinated is motivated by multifactorial aspects, which can influence users' decisions individually or jointly. Implications: Health professionals play a key role in promoting vaccination, being a preferred source of information indicated by users.

Cuando las enzimas digestivas se activan estando aún en el páncreas, ocasiona irritación de las células de esta glándula y a su vez inflamación, lo que se conoce como pancreatitis. La pancreatitis se clasifica en aguda o crónica. Generalmente, su pronóstico es muy bueno, sin embargo, puede presentar complicaciones, sobre todo en sus formas más graves. Resulta indispensable, para el profesional de la salud, el conocimiento de las diversas maneras de abordar quirúrgicamente esta patología. El objetivo de la presente investigación es plasmar los procedimientos quirúrgicos más comunes en el tratamiento de la pancreatitis. El enfoque metodológico de la investigación es una revisión bibliográfico – documental, apoyado por diferentes bases de datos, con la finalidad de obtener información relevante en base al tema de estudio. Entre las principales complicaciones de la pancreatitis se encuentran los pseudoquistes, abscesos, necrosis, fistulización, o complicaciones vasculares y falla orgánica. Existen muchas técnicas quirúrgicas, no obstante, entre las empleadas con más frecuencias se encuentran la necrosectomía, el drenaje percutáneo, colecistectomía y la cirugía de Frey. La necrosectomía pancreática se encuentra indicada en la remoción de la necrosis del páncreas. Mientras que el drenaje se encuentra indicado en colecciones sintomáticas, con dolor o saciedad precoz, colecciones complicadas con infección y colecciones que produzcan síntomas obstructivos de víscera hueca en vecindad, como hemorragia u obstrucción de estómago, duodeno o vía biliar. Por su parte, la colecistectomía es la técnica ideal en pancreatitis biliar. En casos de pancreatitis crónica se encuentra indicada la cirugía de Frey, sobre todo cuando se presenta una masa inflamatoria en la cabeza del páncreas.

La cirugía micrográfica de Mohs es una opción de tratamiento quirúrgico del cáncer de piel. Muchos autores lo consideran el estándar de oro para tratar diversos tumores cutáneos, pero la evidencia la recomienda en casos puntuales. Es una técnica con una demanda creciente por sus múltiples ventajas. Como todo procedimiento quirúrgico, no está exento de presentar desventajas y desafíos. Es importante destacar que, a medida que aumente la incidencia del cáncer de piel, continuará aumentando y perfeccionándose el campo de la cirugía de Mohs. En este sentido, resulta imperioso que los profesionales de la salud, especialmente los que tiene que ver directamente con este procedimiento, se mantengan actualizados en todo lo que a este tema se refiere. En consecuencia, el objetivo de la presente investigación es plasmar las generalidades acerca de la cirugía de Mohs. El enfoque metodológico de la investigación es una revisión bibliográfico – documental. Entre sus indicaciones se encuentran: el carcinoma queratinocítico, tumores recidivantes, con localización anatómica de alto riesgo, con un tamaño mayor o igual a los dos centímetros, de sub tipo HP agresivo, con invasión perineural, bordes clínicos mal definidos, crecimiento rápido y margen positivo en la escisión reciente. También se indica en piel de fondo con exposición previa a radiación y cicatriz crónica. Igualmente, en pacientes inmunosuprimidos, síndrome genético subyacente y pacientes con tumores de alto riesgo sin otros factores de riesgo conocidos. Sus ventajas principales son: una mayor tasa de curación, mayor preservación de los tejidos (mejor resultado cosmético) y uso de anestesia local. Con relación a sus desventajas se cuentan: no es costo - efectiva en tumores de menos de 2 cm de diámetro, presenta un tiempo prolongado en tumores extensos y se encuentra limitada a dermatólogos con un equipo entrenado.

La ética es parte de la piedra angular que rige el comportamiento de los seres humanos, dicha disciplina es, o propiamente dicho está, totalmente presente, y es por demás vigente, en todos los aspectos de la convivencia, incluido el ambiente empresarial. Se trata de una investigación de tipo cualitativa, de revisión bibliográfica en donde se pretende presentar las bases teóricas de la ética empresarial, la realidad de ésta en el contexto mundial y nacional; la relación de la ética empresarial y el cambio organizacional. Luego se procede al resultado práctico para proponer una guía que abarque el planteamiento de códigos de ética empresariales (sector privado) centrados en la propiedad intelectual sobre la información corporativa, de acuerdo al contexto ecuatoriano. Se concluye que los controles internos eficaces son instrumentos suficientes para combatir los fraudes organizacionales relacionados con la propiedad intelectual, la aplicación de una política de personal adecuada y códigos de conducta poco empleados, permitirá combatir los comportamientos deshonestos de forma exitosa, además los actos indebidos cometidos en las empresas son consecuencia de la falta de ética en el personal y las decisiones organizacionales deben darse tomando en cuenta determinando las consecuencias de las mismas en el contexto interno y externo a la empresa. Para establecer una cultura de ética empresarial, es indispensable cumplir un proceso sistemático y oportuno, incluso es necesario no solo realizar investigaciones internas para detectar dichas situaciones, sino aplicar los correctivos necesarios aplicando sanciones más fuertes para quienes incurran en estas infracciones en el sector empresarial ecuatoriano.
Terapia antibiótica en erradicación y resistencia frente al Helicobacter Pylori

Helicobacter pylori es una bacteria gramnegativa, microaerófila y capaz de colonizar el estómago. Ocasiona gastritis crónica, úlceras pépticas, cáncer gástrico y enfermedades hematológicas. Representa la infección bacteriana crónica más común en el ser humano después de Streptococcus mutans, productor de las caries dentales. La aparición de multi-resistencia podría ser la consecuencia de tratamientos previos fallidos, o de resistencia secundaria a claritromicina, metronidazol y levofloxacina debida al uso extensivo de estos antibióticos en el tratamiento de enfermedades respiratorias, parasitarias o ginecológicas, y de infecciones urinarias, respectivamente. Este hallazgo explicaría el fracaso del tratamiento y no solo indicaría la presencia de más de una cepa de H. pylori, sino que subrayaría la importancia metodológica de hacer la prueba de sensibilidad a partir de muestras de ambos segmentos del estómago, con el fin de orientar mejor la elección del tratamiento y evitar recaídas de infección por H. pylori. La selección de los tratamientos erradicadores se debe hacer teniendo en cuenta variables dependientes de la bacteria y del individuo. Se deberían conocer las tasas de resistencia a antibióticos locales, y en caso de desconocerlas, hacer una estimación de las mismas según la eficacia local de los tratamientos utilizados. Una vez finalizada la terapia, se debe corroborar erradicación y en caso de falla a tratamiento de segunda línea, debe solicitarse evaluación por especialista para determinar resistencia a antibióticos e indicar un esquema personalizado en base al resultado de cultivo o PCR de resistencia. Se aplicó una metodología descriptiva, con un enfoque documental, es decir, revisar fuentes disponibles en la red, con contenido oportuno y relevante para dar respuesta a lo tratado en el presente artículo.

El Losartán es un fármaco garantizado con varios años en el mercado que se usa para tratar la hipertensión y la nefropatía diabética además de reducir el riesgo de accidente cerebrovascular. Es un bloqueador de los receptores de angiotensina II que contribuye sustancialmente su efecto antihipertensivo, reduce la presión arterial en pacientes con hipertensión grave además de ser eficaz en personas con edades avanzadas. El efecto significativo de Losartán sobre el accidente cerebrovascular puede estar relacionado con varios mecanismos posibles que son independientes de las reducciones de la presión arterial. Éstas incluyen mejoras en la función endotelial y vascular, disminución del estrés oxidativo vascular, reducciones en la hipertrofia ventricular izquierda, reducciones en fibrosis miocárdica, o ambas; y modulación de progresión de la enfermedad aterosclerótica. Adicionalmente, la capacidad del Losartán para reducir los niveles séricos de ácido úrico considerados como un riesgo independiente propuesto y factor de enfermedad cardiovascular, parece ser un efecto específico de la molécula. En tal sentido, se tiene que Losartán posee varias propiedades independientemente de sus efectos antihipertensivos que pueden estar asociadas con una disminución vulnerabilidad de la placa, el miocardio y la sangre.
