Authors: Macías Vélez Ericka Maricela , Loor Navia Eddy Alejandro
Published: October 2023

El uso de las metodologías ágiles ha tenido gran auge en los últimos años. Porque representan soluciones para grandes proyectos donde sus técnicas van mejorando y sus requerimientos cambian. Por lo tanto, el desarrollo de las interfaces de software grandes y complejos, es una tarea difícil, como consecuencia los desarrolladores enfrentar a distintos problemas ya sea a nivel de usabilidad de interfaces, interacciones, especificaciones, accesibilidad. Aunque existen otras salidas a esta problemática, el diseño centrado en el usuario. El objetivo de este método es que el desarrollo de software se realice pensando en las capacidades, necesidades, y las diferentes dificultades que tienen los usuarios con las herramientas tecnológicas. Si bien esta metodología es algo intuitiva, en muchas situaciones genera frustración tanto para los usuarios como para los desarrolladores acerca del diseño y la implementación de una interfaz usable. Considerando estas falencias se decidió realizar la propuesta de diseño de una metodología basada en el enfoque UI UX.  Se propuso el diseño de esta metodología debido a que el desarrollador piensa diferente al usuario. Por lo tanto, hay que tener en cuenta las necesidades, capacidades, limitaciones y los inconvenientes que tiene los usuarios con las aplicaciones. Cuando se terminó el análisis de las metodologías ágiles, se escogió dos que cumplían con las características para la construcción de la metodología que tuvo como nombre RIDVP, esta metodología estuvo compuesta por iteración comprendidas en 3 fases que tomaron el nombre de fase I planeación, fase II elaboración, fase III ejecución. Cada fase tendrá la técnica de cómo se desarrollará el proyecto a ser implementada en un futuro. También se tomaron en cuenta el tipo de usuario que hará uso de esta aplicación, debido a que no todos tienen los mismos conocimientos y habilidades con las herramientas tecnológicas. Se obtuvo evidencia de las principales necesidades que tienen los usuarios cuando usan una aplicación mediante la encuesta realizada a los expertos en la UI/UX.

Authors: Padilla Pullupaxi Johana Elizabeth , Alvarado Verdezoto Juan Francisco
Published: October 2023

El Estado Ecuatoriano enfrenta desafíos para garantizar el cumplimiento de los derechos colectivos de las comunas, comunidades, pueblos y nacionalidades indígenas. Estos derechos se refieren a las necesidades y demandas de grupos específicos que comparten una identidad cultural y territorial, y que requieren protección y reconocimiento por parte del Estado. Uno de los problemas radica en la falta de una legislación específica y exhaustiva que regule de manera detallada la protección de los derechos colectivos. Aunque la Constitución de Ecuador reconoce estos derechos, la ausencia de una normativa infra constitucional precisa ha generado vacíos legales y dificultades para su implementación efectiva. Además, la falta de mecanismos claros y eficientes para la consulta previa, libre e informada ha llevado a vulneraciones de los derechos de estas comunidades. La consulta se vuelve crucial para tomar decisiones que puedan afectarles ambiental o culturalmente, y su ausencia o insuficiente implementación ha generado conflictos y disputas entre el Estado y las comunidades.

O trabalho utilizou técnicas de geoprocessamento e interpretação de imagens do Landsat combinadas com dados geoambientais para reconstituir e mapear os ambientes e remanescentes florestais na Bacia do Rio Palma. O uso das imagens do Landsat/MSS foi resgatado para reconstituição dos ambientes, e foram incorporados dados da SRTM para facilitar a identificação das características topográficas que favorecem a delimitação dos ambientes florestais. Os ambientes de florestas sazonais semideciduais e florestas sazonais deciduais foram mapeados, bem como os de contatos (enclaves) Savanas/Florestas sazonais. Registrou-se alta riqueza, com 110 espécies arbóreas, e elevada diversidade, de 3,60 nats.ind-1, por meio do índice de Shannon. A densidade foi estimada em 960 ind.ha-1 e a área basal em 27,32 m².ha-1. O método de classificação da vegetação mostrou diferenças floridas e estruturais significativas entre os remanescentes deciduais e semideciduais das florestas sazonais. Destacam-se nos remanescentes deciduais, no relevo dissecado e nos afloramentos rochosos os Combretum duarteanum, Pseudobombax tomentosum e Acacia paniculata, enquanto nos remanescentes semideciduais, no relevo nivelado, o destaque recai sobre Talisia esculenta e Aspidosperma subincanum. Apresentando uma ampla distribuição em ambos os ambientes são Anadenanthera colubrina, Aspidosperma pyrifolium, Myracrodruon urundeuva, Tabebuia impetiginosa e outros com alto potencial de uso econômico. Outras espécies, como Ptilochaeta glabra e Trigynea oblongifolia, são consideradas novidades para a flora do bioma do cerrado. A importância econômica e ecológica dos ambientes florestais sazonais da Bacia do Rio Palma coloca-os como prioridades de conservação no Estado do Tocantins.

Authors: De Vargas Amanda Dutra , De Lima Paula Aparecida Muniz , Maciel Khétrin Silva , De Oliveira Lopes Simone , Alexandre Rodrigo Sobreira , Lopes José Carlos
Published: October 2023

The seeds of Morinda citrifolia L. present unevenness and delay in germination in relation to other fruit trees. Knowledge about the physiological quality of seeds is extremely relevant for the production of seedlings and propagation of the species. Thus, the objective was to study maturation indices and the physiological quality of seeds and fruits of M. citrifolia. Seeds from freshly picked fruits, fruits harvested after seven days of maturation and freshly dropped fruits were used. The extracted and processed seeds were submitted to the following pre-germination treatments: GA3, KNO3 and H2O. The following were analyzed: fruit length and diameter, seed length, width and thickness, number of seeds per fruit, average number of seeds per kg, weight of 1000 seeds, germination, germination speed index, shoot and root length, seedling dry mass and percentage of normal seedlings. The experimental design used was completely randomized, with three stages of fruit maturation and six treatments, with four replications of 25 seeds. M. citrifolia seeds do not show tegumentary dormancy. The seeds of freshly harvested fruits and fruits harvested after seven days of maturation do not need pre-germination treatments. GA3 promotes greater germination in seeds of fruits harvested from the ground. Fruits that have just fallen to the ground have a higher content of soluble solids and a higher content of acidity. The storage of fruit in a refrigerator for a week provides the maintenance of texture characteristics, such as hardness, adhesiveness, elasticity and gumminess. Fruits with greater hardness have higher physiological seed quality.

Background: Burnout is found at elevated levels inhealthcare professionals who work in critical units.At the same time, high levels of burnout areassociated with strong negative effects on a personaland professional level.Aim: The aim of this study was to examine thefactors associated with burnout and its associatedconsequences in workers in surgical departments andintensive care units.Materials and Methods: A systematic review of theliterature was applied. The search and inclusion ofarticles in the systematic review was performedusing the PRISMA Statement. A total of 31 differentstudies were included in the search.Results: Firstly, most of the relevant studiesconcerned nurses, not physicians or other healthprofessionals. Second, all the studies were crosssectional. Third, a common finding of the effects ofsociodemographic factors cannot be drawn as therewere conflicting findings between the studies.Fourth, it appears that evidence that demonstrates abroader burden of mental health is associated withburnout (e.g. anxiety). Fifth, parameters that arerelated to resilience, for example hardness as apersonality trait, were associated with lower burnoutscores. Finally, all studies concerned workers inintensive care units and not in surgical departments.Conclusions: Therefore, this study may lead to somefindings for health care workers in intensive careunits, but not for those working in surgicaldepartments.

Authors: Leszczyńska P. , Sobocińska M. , Ustymowicz K. , Romańczyk W.
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Granular cell tumour (GCT), alsocalled an Abrikossoff tumour, is a relatively rareneoplasm that usually develops between the fourthand sixth decades of life, with a slightly higherprevalence among female patients. Most GCTs areasymptomatic and are usually reported as incidentalfindings from endoscopy . Histologically, GCTs arecomposed of large polygonal cells containingnumerous eosinophilic granules.Case presentation: A 65-year-old woman withoutany symptoms was admitted for a preventativecolonoscopy. The biopsy revealed sessile serratedadenomas (adenomatous polyps) with low-gradedysplasia. The lesion in the caecum showed anintestinal mucosa with a subepithelial tumour, whichwas found to be positive for S-100 protein and couldcorrespond to Abrikossoff’s tumour.Conclusions: Due to the rare occurrence ofcolorectal Abrikossoff tumours in the colon, thereare very few reported cases, especially in malepatients. A colorectal GCT is a sporadic submucosaltumour that usually follows a benign course.Malignant GCT is extremely rare. The finaldiagnosis of GCT can be based on endoscopic biopsyand histopathological examinations. The basis ofbenign GCT treatment is endoscopic resection,which often leads to a cure.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm ofthe pancreas (SPN) is a rare, low-grade malignanttumour that accounts for approximately 1–3% of allexocrine tumours. It usually occurs in teenagers oryoung women below 40 years. Most SPNs areasymptomatic or minimally symptomatic andincidentally found by imaging. The most commonclinical symptoms are abdominal pain andabdominal tumour.Case presentation: A 41-year-old woman withmorbid obesity and type 2 diabetes was admitted tothe hospital with upper abdominal pain, vomiting,and diarrhoea. The ultrasound found a cystic lesionin the tail of the pancreas. Subsequent MRIexamination revealed polycyclic litho cystic tumour63x 52 mm, 72mm c-c within the tail of the pancreas.Afterwards, the pancreatic tail with the tumour waslaparoscopically resectioned. Histopathologicalevaluation of collected tumour tissues found a solidpseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) in those pancreaticcells. Subsequently, the patient was prescribed anadditional 2U of Lispro insulin before each andCreon enzyme replacement therapy for the SPN. Amonth after the procedure, the patient was admittedto the ICU with sharp abdominal pain, abdominalcramps, and high inflammatory markers. She wassuccessfully treated for acute pancreatitis anddischarged after ten days. The patient is in stablecondition and continues the Creon treatment.Conclusions: SPN can be detected by ultrasound,computed tomography, magnetic resonanceimaging, and positron emission tomography. SPN isa type of cancer with low malignancy potential dueto the low metastasis and vascular invasionprobability. Metastases to other organs have beenreported in 15% to 20% of SPN. Distant metastasesare typically found in the liver and lymph nodes, butthe peritoneum, omentum, and lungs can also beinvolved. The treatment of choice is pancreaticsurgery, including resection of distant metastases.The 10-year disease-specific survival rate is 96%.
Admissibility of stipulating a contractual penalty in an agreement establishing perpetual usufruct in the event of failure to develop the property within the contractual period. Comment on the resolution of the SupremeCourt of 20 January 2022, III CZP 8/22
Authors: Wolak Grzegorz
Published: October 2023

In the comment to the resolution of the Supreme Court of 20 January 2022, III CZP 8/22, the opinion expressed therein was approved that the provision of the contract for establishing perpetual usufruct specifying the obligation of the perpetual usufructuary to pay a contractual penalty in the event of failure to develop the property within the specified period is invalid. In the opinion of the glossator, it is supported primarily by the arguments of functional (purposeful) and systemic inter-pretation. The judgment itself may contribute to the unification of the jurisprudence of commoncourts in cases involving the payment of contractual penalties in this respect.
The "Apartment plus" model of housing development with the optionto proceeding to ownership
Authors: Kopeć Mirosław
Published: October 2023

The article presents the model of financing housing development. This model assumes the cooperation of at least 3 parties, i.e. local governments, residents and the government administration body financing the project. The proposed solutions allow to avoid commercial banks and avoid to take loans from these banks. The proposed solution is dedicated to people who do not have creditworthiness but want to work and pay the rent, and after an agreed period, they shall become the owners of the apartment, and the rent they paid would be largely counted towards the purchase price. Depending on the available funds, help in paying the rent or buying a flat may be provided by the local government or a state institution of the central level. Moreover, the proposed solutions do not increase the debt ratio of local governments.
Differences in selected composition and quality traits between organic and conventional pork: a meta-analysis
Authors: Zybert Andrzej
Published: October 2023

The current study analysed the combined results of independent research and experiments to quantify the differences between organic and non-organic pork in composition and selected meat quality traits, using a meta-analytical approach. Data from 25 publications with 42 individual experiments were combined using a random-effect model to estimate the effect of organic production on composition of pork (water, protein, intramuscular fat content and fatty acids composition) and selected meat quality traits including initial in 45 min. post-mortem and the ultimate pH, drip loss, colour lightness -L*, redness - a* and yellowness - b* and Warner-Bratzler share force. The overall meta-analysis indicated that organic pork had significantly higher IMF content, lower total saturated fatty acid (SFA) and stearic acid (C18:0) concentrations, higher total polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), n-3 PUFA and n-6 PUFA concentrations and higher yellowness (b*) in comparison with meat from conventional, non-organic production. In sub-groups, trend to increase in total PUFA, n-3 PUFA and n-6 PUFA has been detected in pork from high performing breeds, and from pigs reared indoors. From traditional breeds, organic pork had significantly lower total SFA, C16:0 and C18:0 fatty acids concentrations, but didn’t differ in IMF and PUFA concentrations in comparison to conventional meat. Furthermore, organic pork loins from traditional breeds were more red and yellow than those from non-organic, conventional production. However, these benefits in redness may be diminished by application of indoor rearing.

Published: October 2023

Needless to say, Covid-19 pandemic has transformed the structural formations in various sectors the world over. Theatre is not an exception to it. The restrictions on public activities shifted directions from established ways to least familiar ways, and the rise of OTT grasped gazes and theatrical live performances of plays in theatre replaced by the performances on OTT or virtual platforms, no doubt it has given an alternative to the theatre industry to some extent. Has the OTT platform successfully assembled a genuine sense of theatrical aesthetic? This question often arises when the extensive popularity of OTT is witnessed everywhere. Likewise, is OTT a future of entertainment? The objective of this research article is to explain how digital streaming platforms have started showing their impact on Indian theatre in particular. How young minds are preferring this mode for entertainment. The gradual shift of presentation from stage to digital platform and its growing impact on theatre industry is the central argument of this paper. The research conducted in this relation comes with the findings that large numbers of viewers agree that over-the-top (OTT) platforms can be an actual menace to the theatre industry. There are a number of factors to claim that OTT is a threat and at the same time, one cannot reject that OTT has become the largely preferred medium in India and across the world for visual content. Theatrical dimensions have entirely altered with OTT since one can now watch digital performances conveniently on a laptop or mobile device. Additionally, the audio and visual quality, sound effects, and accessibility of forward and backward give extra and fascinating features. Plays are designed to be staged performances, and we all know that a play's performance is its heart and soul. Live performances satisfy the stage's requirements and are the lifeblood of the theatrical industry. These qualities are in reality, artistic and natural. The post-covid world's artificial artistic world development may never fully satisfy the aesthetic worth of any creative form.

Introduction: Osteoporosis is one of the main public health problems affecting the elderly (over 60 years of age). It is characterized by a reduction in bone mineral density (BMD) together with a deterioration in the microarchitecture of bone tissue, which leads to increased skeletal fragility and the likelihood and risk of fractures. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the bone density of women aged between 60 and 70 referred to the bone densiometry department of a clinic in the Mucuri valley, in Nanuque (MG). Methodology: The research used in this study is classified as documentary research because it aims to analyze bone density in a group of women aged 60 to 70 who underwent bone densiometry at a clinic in Nanuque Minas Gerais. Results: In addition, it is worth noting that one third of women aged sixty-five have osteoporosis and 50% of women over 75 have been diagnosed with this pathology, i.e. assessing the patient's age is fundamental for analyzing the diagnosis, treatment and evolution of the pathology Conclusion: After the end of the study carried out in the city of Nanuque, it was identified that the objectives of the article were achieved, since it was possible to analyze the bone density of women in the age group of 60 to 70 years in this municipality, also, the age group, the diagnosis after the result of the examination and the ethnicity were identified.

Dentre os herbicidas utilizados na agricultura brasileira, o picloram é um dos mais utilizados no controle pré-emergência e pós-emergência das plantas daninhas, especialmente de dicotiledôneas arbustivas e arbóreas. Entretanto, o picloram pode ser transportado, transformado ou acumulado nas camadas fértil do solo, causando impacto ambiental. Estes riscos têm despertado o interesse científico pelo desenvolvimento de métodos de biorremediação de solos contaminados com herbicidas, tendo como alternativa a degradação microbiana. Dessa forma, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a tolerância e a degradação do herbicida picloram por linhagens bacterianas (BM01 e BM02) produtoras de biossurfactante, visando selecionar potencial agentes biorremediadores. Os testes de degradação bacteriana do picloram foram avaliados pelo método pour plate e cromatográfico. Para avaliar a tolerância das linhagens bacterianas ao herbicida, foi utilizado o método de microcultivo para determinar a concentração inibitória e bactericida mínima. A produção de biossurfactante (BS) foi realizada em meio salino mineral com diferentes concentrações de picloram, sendo avaliada através do índice de emulsificação. As linhagens BM01 e BM02 foram tolerantes a altas concentrações de picloram, pórem, apresentaram baixo crescimento celular. As análises cromatográficas indicam que houve degradação parcial do herbicida e não foi observado a produção de BS. Novos estudos devem ser realizados para elucidar o processo de biodegradação do picloram associado a produção de BS.

Context: Gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer in developing countries and ranks fourth in terms of death causes. Helicobacter pylori infection is a significant contributor to the emergence of gastric cancer. Lack of early diagnosis of gastric cancer is a leading cause of death. Aims: To identify the key genes and pathways involved in gastric cancer. Methods: This study performed a comprehensive analysis of RNA-Seq data from human gastric cancer and adjacent normal tissues. Raw data passed quality checks with FastQC and were aligned to GRCh38 using HISAT2. Subread's FeatureCounts handled transcript assembly and quantification. DESeq2 pinpointed significant genes, while ClueGO explored gene ontology and KEGG pathways. Protein-protein interaction networks, constructed with StringApp, aided in identifying hub genes through CytoHubba. This holistic approach yields insights into the molecular mechanisms underpinning gastric cancer. Results: This study detected 711 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between normal and gastric samples. A total of 594 genes were identified as upregulated and 117 as downregulated. Major DEGs are enriched in signal transduction, stimulus-response regulation, transmembrane signaling receptor activity, and signal transduction pathways involving cytokines. In addition, 20 hub genes from the PPI network were identified based on MCC rank analysis from the CytoHubba plugin, contributing to the progression of gastric cancer. Conclusions: The top six hub genes, CD4, CTLA4, CD28, CD80, CD27, and SELL, are expected to regulate several pathways and may serve as potential biomarkers for the early detection and treatment of gastric cancer patients.

Medicinal plants have demonstrated strong promise as useful alternatives for the development of therapeutics with little or no side effects relative to synthetic drugs, as document by various studies. In this study, we evaluate the antimicrobial potentials of the methanol and n-hexane extracts of Capsicum frutescens fruit to establish its use in traditional medicine. The phytochemical and fatty acid profile is also presented. Phytochemical composition, fatty acid composition and antimicrobial activities of the extracts were performed following standard methods. Our results showed that while Tannins and phenols were not present in the n-hexane extract, alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, glycosides and sterols were present. However, all phytochemicals evaluated were present in the ethanol extract. FTIR analysis of the extracts showed a strong absorption band at 3396 cm-1 for ethanol extract while the band is seen to diminish in the hexane extract. The band in the range 2978 – 2922 cm-1 was related to symmetric -CH3 stretching, 2855 - 2124 cm-1 due to C-H stretching, 1744 – 1640 cm-1 due to C=O stretching, 1461 – 1382 cm-1 due to -CH3CH bending of alkanes, 1159 – 1043 cm-1 due to =C-O-C- symmetric stretching and 879 – 723 cm-1 due to C-Cl stretching of alkyl halides as major spectral bands. Fatty acid profile showed the presence of several saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The hexane and ethanol extracts respectively demonstrated significant antimicrobial potential against Escherichia coli (10.00±0.10 mm and 13.00±0.12 mm) and Staphylococcus aureus (11.00±0.21 mm and 13.00±0.03 mm) among other microbes compare to the control. These showed that the extract can be used as antimicrobial agent. Our data provides a preliminary explanation for the observed use of Capsicum frutescens fruits in traditional medicines for the treatment of bacterial infections.

This quantitative-correlational research design determined the significant relationship between psychological well-being, resilience quotient, and teachers’ teaching effectiveness. A total of 96 respondents were used, and they were identified through Simple Random Sampling. Before the study, pilot testing was done to determine its reliability through the Cronbach Alpha with an overall value of 0.987, which is interpreted as “excellent.” The questionnaires were sent via e-mails to the respondents. The results of the level of teachers’ resilience revealed that the level of highest mean among the indicators of teachers’ psychological well-being goes to Self- acceptance, and autonomy with a mean weighted of 4.32 (SD=1.04) interpreted as “Agree” while the lowest mean goes to Environmental mastery and Positive relations with others with the mean score of 3.84 (SD=1.17) interpreted as “Moderately Disagree”. As to the level of teachers’ resilience quotient, the highest mean among the indicators of teachers’ resilience goes to Flexibility and Adaptability with a mean score of 5.16 (SD=0.81), interpreted as “Strongly Agree”, meaning Very Resilient. while the lowest mean goes to Social Connectivity, with a mean score of 4.80 (SD=1.01) is interpreted as “Agree”, which is resilient. Lastly, in terms of the level of teaching effectiveness of the respondents, the highest mean among the indicators of teacher’s teaching effectiveness goes to Cognitive Presence with a mean score of 5.28 (SD= 0.75) interpreted as Strongly Agree. Based on the findings of the study, it is concluded that the hypothesis stating that there was no significant relationship between demographic profile and psychological well-being was partially (or slightly) upheld. The hypothesis stating that there was no significant relationship between resiliency quotient and psychological well-being was partially upheld. The hypothesis stating that there was no significant relationship between resiliency quotient and teaching effectiveness was partly (or majority) upheld. Important recommendations were made at the end of the study. School Administrators may first consider implementing the intervention plan proposed by the researcher, which will help support teachers and students.
