Authors: Simba Lugmaña Lucio Giovani
Published: September 2024

Considerando que el Taekwondo es un deporte de contacto y su característica principal se basa en la espectacularidad de sus técnicas, es sumamente importante que los practicantes marciales desarrollen la flexibilidad como factor fundamental para la correcta ejecución de las diferentes patadas, en especial de aquellas que requieren de gran amplitud de sus segmentos corporales inferiores (piernas). El objetivo de esta investigación fue desarrollar la flexibilidad en los deportistas iniciales a través de un plan de ejercicios diseñados para mejorar el desempeño en la ejecución de las técnicas altas en el Taekwondo, además comprobar que el trabajo sistemático y focalizado en zonas específicas como la articulación coxofemoral en 12 deportistas, demostraron la eficacia de la aplicación y desarrollo del plan de ejercicios, tomando en cuenta que la investigación fue de carácter cuantitativa misma que permitió obtener muestras pre-test y pos-test y analizarlas mediante el programa SPSS, el cual arrojaron resultados positivos y veraces. Trabajos de investigación científica similares han demostrado  que los ejercicios enfocados de manera directa en zonas involucradas en la ejecución de las técnicas altas, así como también la correcta y adecuada aplicación de ejercicios específicos nos han dado resultados esperados para el cumplimiento de nuestro objetivo planteado.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that affects the joints and is a multifactorial disease. This article aims to analyze its evolutionary consequences and the factors that influence the phenotypic diversity of the disease. Phenotypic variation among living things is crucial to enable natural selection, but this variation needs to be limited to avoid the collapse of the vital functions of the organic system. Skeletal tissue cell types have their origins in aquatic animals and have maintained their characteristics and signaling pathways during the transition to terrestrial life, with conserved epigenetic modifications. Phenotypic diversity in the osteochondral unit occurs due to processes of ontogeny, remodeling, phenotypic variation, adaptation, and environmental sensitivity. These processes involve internal and external stressors, orderly transitions of cell development, changes in the timing of development, rapid adaptation, and epigenetic modifications.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections are a very present problem in society, mainly due to sexually risky behavior in young people and adolescents and a certain section of the population. These infections are transmitted through sexual intercourse of any kind, but mainly due to a lack of knowledge of the population, which is why the objective of this research is to describe the relationship between knowledge and current attitudes about sexually transmitted infections in women in Peru. Methodology: A bibliographic review was carried out using the articles retrieved from the PubMed, MEDLINE, and Scielo databases, in the period between July and August 2024. External articles were added to the time frame due to their importance for the writing of this article, without the research presenting an update percentage of less than 90%. A total of 30 references were selected, which specifically fit the topic in question, excluding those with possible biases in their methods. Development: Knowledge includes information about sexually transmitted infections, including their symptoms, types, and prevention measures. It is obtained through teaching, campaigns and specific programs on STIs, which include various pathologies of infectious etiology where sexual transmission is epidemiologically relevant. Conclusions: Sexually transmitted infections are entities that coexist with the daily life of the general population, an element that does not exclude Latin America and much less Peru. Adequate knowledge about the management of these infections by the female community, both students and gynecological-obstetric patients and health personnel, represents a vital need to avoid the risk of infection by pathologies of this nature

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Teachers are vulnerable to vocal and hearing health problems due to the characteristics of their work, such as prolonged use of the voice and exposure to noise. This study seeks to establish the relationship between the type of audio device used, volume, hours of online work, and teachers' self-perception of voice and hearing.Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 462 teachers (378 women and 84 men) between 21 and 40 years of age. An online survey was applied that collected data on the use of audio devices, sound level, and self-perception of voice. Significant differences by sex were analyzed and correlations were determined using statistical tests.Results: The results show that women tend to use more built-in microphones and speakers than men and report a more negative perception of their voice compared to men. A significant correlation (0.8999, p<0.00001) was found between the number of hours of online teaching and voice perception, where longer working time is associated with worse self-perception.Conclusions: Teachers mainly use built-in microphones and speakers, and their voice perception deteriorates as the hours of online class work increase. The need to implement prevention programs in vocal health and the use of devices that minimize the impact of environmental noise on their performance is highlighted.

Published: September 2024

Bu çalışmanın konusunu; iflâs dairesinin iflâsın açıldığının kendisine bildirilmesinden (İİK m. 166/1) itibaren iki ay içerisinde (İİK m. 208/3) tasfiyenin akıbetini belirlemeye yönelik yapacağı tasfiyenin başlangıç aşamasındaki işlemleri oluşturmaktadır. Tasfiyenin başlangıç aşamasındaki işlemleri; hazırlık, muhakeme ve karar aşaması şeklinde sınıflandırma yapılarak incelenmiştir. İflâs tasfiyesinin bu aşamasında yer alan işlemlerin tamamı iflâs dairesi tarafından yerine getirilir.
İflâs dairesi ilk olarak müflisin malvarlığı unsurlarının defterini tutar; deftere kaydedilen malvarlığı unsurlarının tasfiyenin dışına çıkartılmasını önlemek adına lüzumlu muhafaza tedbirlerini alır. Ardından iflâs dairesi, mevcudat defterine kaydettiği ve elinin altında bulundurduğu malvarlığı unsurlarının tasfiyeye konu olup olamayacağını değerlendirir. Bu yönde yapılan değerlendirme tasfiyenin akıbetini belirleme noktasında önem taşımaktadır. Zira tasfiyenin akıbetini belirlemekle görevli olan iflâs dairesi, tasfiyeye konu olabileceğini düşündüğü malvarlığı unsurlarının değerini hem adi tasfiye hem de basit tasfiye masraflarının karşılanıp karşılanmayacağını belirleyebilmek adına hesaplamada ayrı ayrı göz önünde bulundurmak durumundadır. Hesaplama yapılabilmesi için de somut tasfiye dosyası kapsamında tasfiye masraflarının ortaya konulması gerekir. Çalışmamızda iflâs dairesi tarafından tasfiyenin başlangıç aşamasındaki iflâs masasının aktif malvarlığı unsurlarının değeri ile tasfiye masraflarının muhasebesinin yapılması suretiyle tasfiyenin akıbetine karar verilmesi irdelenmiştir.

Published: September 2024

The internet technology, which began to integrate into our lives rapidly by the end of the 1990s, underwent significant transformations with the advent of mobile technology in the 2000s. Initially accessible through desktop or notebook computers, the internet has evolved to become an integral part of virtually every aspect of our lives as mobile technology advanced throughout the 2000s. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of mobile technologies within current health technologies, investigate the necessary competencies, evaluate mobile technology developments both in Türkiye and globally, and assess the information technology infrastructure, competencies, and skills required by the sector. Our research details various and specific mobile applications from numerous countries. Findings indicate that mobile technology has established itself much more rapidly and effectively in countries with strong internet infrastructure. Mobile health services are perceived as highly valuable by citizens. The real quality and effectiveness of mobile technology depend on its acceptance and swift implementation by users. Gamification is an important tool in the adoption of mobile health applications. These applications can enhance motivation by enabling both doctors to monitor patient care services and patients to track their own health. A good mobile health system should be accepted by both patients and doctors. In countries like Türkiye, where the health system is largely supported by the state, it is seen as necessary for the Ministry of Health to prioritize mobile services to establish a robust mobile health system. Furthermore, to effectively structure mobile services, it is essential to focus on the right problems and identify issues in order of priority. Literature review reveals that various mobile applications have been implemented in fields such as dermatology, orthopedics, ophthalmology, neurosurgery, and clinical pathology. Mobile technologies offer significant cost advantages in the delivery of health services. As the population ages in European Union countries, national governments are seeking ways to reduce healthcare costs. Mobile health is considered a solution to transform the delivery of health services and reduce costs through viable new care models for both industrialized and developing countries. Moreover, it has been observed that mobile applications provide significant benefits for the elderly, particularly in developed countries such as Germany and Sweden. Our study provides a comprehensive assessment of mobile technology in the healthcare sector, highlights prominent applications from Türkiye and around the world, and offers an extensive evaluation for field readers.
Android Ransomware Detection System using Feature Selection with Bootstrap Aggregating MARS
Authors: Gencer Kerem , Basciftci Fatih
Published: September 2024

Android ransomware has become one of the most dangerous types of attack that have occurred recently due to the increasing use of the Android operating system. Generally, ransomware is based on the idea of encrypting the files in the victim’s device and then demanding money to provide the decryption password. Machine learning techniques are increasingly used for Android ransomware detection and analysis. In this study, Android ransomware is detected using Bootstrap Aggregating based Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (Bagging MARS) for the first time in feature selection. A feature matrix with 134 permissions and API calls in total was reduced to 34 features via the proposed Bagging MARS feature selection technique. Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), one of the classification techniques, produced the best accuracy with 90.268%. Additionally, the proposed feature selection method yielded more successful results compared to the filter, wrapper, and embedded methods used. Thus, this method, which was used for the first time to detect the common features of Android Ransomware, will enable the next Android Ransomware detection systems to work faster and with a higher success rate.

Aim:
To evaluate the impact of palbociclib treatment on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor 2-negative advanced breast cancer (HR+/HER2- aBC) or metastatic breast cancer (mBC) in both the clinical and real-world setting.
Materials & methods:
A systematic literature review was conducted to identify clinical trials and real-world evidence studies up to June 2023 that reported HRQoL outcomes in patients with HR+/HER2- aBC or mBC treated with Palbociclib.
Results:
15 unique studies reported across 35 records were identified. Of these, seven were randomized controlled trials (RCTs), three were single-arm clinical trials and five were real-world evidence (RWE) studies. HRQoL was generally found to be maintained in patients with HR+/HER2- aBC or mBC across RCTs, single-arm clinical trials and RWE studies. HRQoL measures across instruments, study types and line of therapy, were largely reported to be at least maintained if not improved from baseline among patients treated with palbociclib and were observed to be comparable or better in the palbociclib group versus monotherapy control arm in RCTs. Similar results were seen for treatment-related outcomes (e.g., sexual functioning, upset by hair loss, systemic therapy side effects etc.), and important individual patient outcomes, including pain, fatigue and physical functioning. Findings were also consistent across key clinical characteristics (visceral metastases, neutropenia), as well as patient populations often underrepresented in clinical trials (Asian patients, older adults).
Conclusion:
Overall, current evidence suggests that HRQoL is largely preserved with the addition of palbociclib to endocrine therapy in patients with HR+/HER2- aBC or mBC across study types and populations.

The Patriots for Europe
Authors: Hoeksma Jaap
Published: September 2024

Never in the history of the EU has a political party at Union level so ostentatiously misnamed itself as the Patriots for Europe. Their name suggests a passionate love for homeland Europe but their Manifesto reveals an unmistakable commitment to dismantle European democracy and to reduce the EU to an undemocratic organisation of illiberal states. Following the recent European Parliament elections, the Patriots for Europe has emerged as nothing less than the third largest political party. I explore the core elements of their illiberal political agenda as outlined in their Manifesto and discuss how their proposed sovereign policies, if implemented, could reverse the progressive trajectory of European (legal) integration.

The study investigates the relationship between supplier communication and the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nairobi City County, Kenya. Supplier communication was found to play a pivotal role in the operational efficiency and overall performance of MSMEs, especially in dynamic markets. Despite adopting Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) practices, many MSMEs continued to experience challenges such as poor record management, unclear expectations, and a lack of timely feedback. These communication issues contributed to delays, misunderstandings, and increased costs, which negatively impacted business growth. The study applied the Communication Accommodation Theory to explain how MSMEs adapted their communication styles in both high-context and low-context cultures. Using a cross-sectional research design, the study collected data from 373 MSMEs under the Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) program. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between supplier communication and performance, with regression analysis showing that supplier communication explained 58.7% of the variance in MSME performance. The findings aligned with previous studies, emphasizing the importance of communication for successful supplier collaboration and supply chain management. The study concluded that frequent, transparent communication with suppliers improved product and service delivery and operational efficiency. Recommendations included investing in technologies that enhance communication and developing policies to support ongoing supplier relationship management. Further research could explore the impact of digital technologies on supplier communication and how communication with international suppliers influences MSME performance.
