Published: September 2021

A nivel global se posiciona la importancia de la calidad educativa, para el desarrollo sostenible de los ciudadanos y en la cual el nivel del desarrollo del Proyecto Educativo Institucional (PEI) es ineludible. En el Perú, en Lima, estamos investigando la influencia entre ambas variables. El PEI es aquel documento que dirige el rumbo de la institución educativa desde la generación de valores, la visión compartida, las interacciones y las representaciones mentales en el que su orientación básica es por el desarrollo institucional y que solo tiene impacto a través de un proceso de mejora continua del aprendizaje (CEPAL-UNESCO,2005). Analizar la calidad de la gestión educativa parte por desarrollar un conjunto de actividades, estrategias, aplicación de técnicas instrumentos, procedimientos, recursos y capacidades consignadas en el PEI, con la finalidad de lograr objetivos institucionales, por medio de un planeamiento participativo, potenciando la cultura organizativa democrática y definiendo claramente las responsabilidades internamente entre la comunidad educativa y las autoridades directivas.
Es por ello que presentaremos una revisión de referencias de ambas variables tratando de esbozar la solución a nuestro principal problema en el sentido de cuál es la influencia entre el PEI y la calidad de la gestión institucional en una Institución Educativa. Ugel 03, planteándonos algunas hipótesis como si la identidad, el diagnóstico institucional, la propuesta pedagógica y la propuesta de gestión de calidad del PEI influyen en la calidad de gestión educativa.
Además, consignamos en este artículo la metodología de investigación científica con enfoque cuantitativo que incluye método, diseño, población y muestra, instrumentos de recolección de datos y medida de la confiabilidad de los dos instrumentos a través de Alfa de Cronbach, encontrando valores de 0.817 para la primera variable y de 0.803 para la segunda variable, dándonos una confiabilidad muy alta del instrumento de recolección de datos para ambas variables.

Boring Formless Nonsense
Authors: Priest Eldritch 
Published: September 2021

Boring Formless Nonsense intervenes in an aesthetics of failure that has largely been delimited by the visual arts and its avant-garde legacies. It focuses on contemporary experimental composition in which failure rubs elbows with the categories of chance, noise, and obscurity. In these works we hear failure anew. We hear boredom, formlessness, and nonsense in a way that gives new purchase to aesthetic, philosophical, and ethical questions that falter in their negative capability.
Reshaping current debates on failure as an aesthetic category, eldritch Priest shows failure to be a duplicitous concept that traffics in paradox and sustains the conditions for magical thinking and hyperstition. Framing recent experimental composition as a deviant kind of sound art, Priest explores how the affective and formal elements of post-Cagean music couples with contemporary culture's themes of depression, distraction, and disinformation to create an esoteric reality composed of counterfactuals and pseudonymous beings. Ambitious in content and experimental in its approach, Boring Formless Nonsense will challenge and fracture your views on failure, creativity, and experimental music.
In the Blink of an Ear
Authors: Kim-Cohen Seth 
Published: September 2021

An ear-opening reassessment of sonic art from World War II to the present
Marcel Duchamp famously championed a "non-retinal" visual art, rejecting judgments of taste and beauty. In the Blink of an Ear is the first book to ask why the sonic arts did not experience a parallel turn toward a non-cochlear sonic art, imagined as both a response and a complement to Duchamp's conceptualism. Rather than treat sound art as an artistic practice unto itself-or as the unwanted child of music-artist and theorist Seth Kim-Cohen relates the post-War sonic arts to contemporaneous movements in the gallery arts. Applying key ideas from poststructuralism, deconstruction, and art history, In the Blink of an Ear suggests that the sonic arts have been subject to the same cultural pressures that have shaped minimalism, conceptualism, appropriation, and relational aesthetics. Sonic practice and theory have downplayed - or, in many cases, completely rejected - the de-formalization of the artwork and its simultaneous animation in the conceptual realm. Starting in 1948, the simultaneous examples of John Cage and Pierre Schaeffer initiated a sonic theory-in-practice, fusing clement Greenberg's media-specificity with a phenomenological emphasis on perception. Subsequently, the "sound-in-itself" tendency has become the dominant paradigm for the production and reception of sound art. Engaged with critical texts by Jacques Derrida, Rosalind Krauss, Friedrich Kittler, Jean François Lyotard, and Jacques Attali, among others, Seth Kim-Cohen convincingly argues for a reassessment of the short history of sound art, rejecting sound-in-itself in favor of a reading of sound's expanded situation and its uncontainable textuality. At the same time, this important book establishes the principles for a nascent non-cochlear sonic practice, embracing the inevitable interaction of sound with the social, the linguistic, the philosophical, the political, and the technological.
COVID-19 Pandemic - A Review and Assessing Higher Education Institution Undergraduate Student’s Mental Health
Authors: Mohd Kassim Mohd Amiruddin , Pang Nicholas Tze Ping , James Sandi 
Published: September 2021

Introduction: The current COVID-19 pandemic has sequelae reverberating around
Malaysia, particularly in university students, as Malaysian university students are isolated
in their university campuses in semi-quarantine status. This article seeks to review the
existing literature on the specialized issue of university student-related psychological
sequelae of COVID-19, and seeks to offer some recommendations through the process.
Methods: Existing literature demonstrates that COVID-19 has affected university students
psychosocially, with the rate of anxiety and depression markedly increased. There have
been significant alterations of lifestyle related to education, in accordance with the new
normal, resulting in isolation and feelings of disengagement with education. Moreover,
with the current uncertainties regarding their studies and possible financial depression postpandemic,
the future is deeply worrying and will adversely affect their mental health.
Results: Quantitatively, recent findings indicate 33.3% of the undergraduates in a higher
education institution are noted to be in stress. Therefore, multiple interventions have been
implemented; a customized ultra-brief psychological module, an online tele psychiatry
hotline (COVID Cares) and tele-counselling, which have received universally positive
feedback.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the review demonstrates that undergraduates’ psychological
health is an aspect that needs urgent attention as it is not merely limited to the fear of
COVID-19, but also related to the social aspects of the pandemic. Multiple interventions
have been seen to be efficacious in reducing the psychological sequelae.

Background and Objective: CYP1A1 gene, which has role in carcinogenic metabolisms, is also detected in pterygium tissue. The aim of the study is to determine the polymorphisms of CYP1A1 m2 (rs1048943) and m4 (rs1799814) gene and its correlation with clinical variant of the pterygium.
Methods: DNA isolation was performed from blood sample of 80 pterygium patients consisting of 40 inflammatory and 40 non-inflammatory pterygium. Genotyping of rs1048943 SNP AG (m2) in the CYP1A1 gene was performed using Alel Specific Polymerase Chain reaction (AS-PCR) and rs1048943) SNP Genotyping was performed using PCR. Polymorphism results are characterized as wild type (AA), mutant homozygote (GG), and mutant heterozygote (AG).
Results: CYP1A1 m2 and m4 gene polymorphism consist of wild type (AA), mutant homozygote (GG), and mutant heterozygote (AG). Both CYP1A1 m2 and m4 genes polymorphism of both groups of inflammatory and non-inflammatory pterygium was mostly consist of wild type polymorphism, followed by the mutant heterozygote polymorphism. The wild type polymorphism was found to be higher in inflammatory pterygium, meanwhile the mutant heterozygote was found to be higher in non-inflammatory pterygium.
Conclusion: There were differences in CYP1A1 m2 and m4 gene polymorphism in both pterygium group, but none has been shown to be statistically associated with the clinical variant of the pterygium.

The main aim of the current study was to find out the commonest bacterial organisms causing urinary tract infection among a sample of diabetic and non-diabetic patients in Al-Kut city, Iraq.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 conveniently sampled patients suffering from urinary tract infections and attending Al-Karama Teaching hospital laboratory for urine culture between October and December 2019 were included in the study. The patients were consented to answer a special questionnaire containing data like patients' age, gender, and disease status (diabetic or non-diabetic).
Results: From the 100 participated patients there were 29 (29%) with diabetes and the remaining 71(71%) from the sample were non-diabetics. The females represent the majority of the sample (67%) while males represented only (33%). The most common identified bacteria from this sample were Staphylococcus aureus (48%), Escherichia coli (24%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (17%), Enterococcus species (5%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2%). The study result shows a significant association of being diabetic or not >0.001, 0.038with age and gender of the patients (p-value) respectively. While this association was non-significant when considering the type of bacteria between the two . While this association was non-significant when considering the groups (P-value=0.056).type of bacteria between the two groups (P-value=0.056).
Conclusion: The urinary tract infection is frequently presented among young non-diabetic females and near half of the urine cultures showed the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria as the commonest cause of infection among them.

The synthesis and characterization of an imino-pyridyl ligand N,N'-(butane-1,4-diyl)bis(1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine) (L) and its Ag(I)ClO4 complex (I) by various spectroscopic techniques and elemental analyses is presented in this study. X-ray single crystal structure of complex I revealed that in complex I, each Ag(I) ion is tetra coordinated with two pyridine N-atoms and two imine N-atoms of the ligand L, forming a macrocyclic dimeric Ag(I) grid. In the macrocyclic dimer complex I, Ag-Ag separation along the chain is 5.318 Å. The Ag-Npy average distance is 2.396 Å and that of the Ag-Nim is 2.257 Å. The macrocyclic dimer complex I is supramolecularly arranged by π-stacking interactions. Computational, Hirshfeld surface analysis and photophysical studies on ligand L and complex I have also been performed. Crystal data for C32H36Ag2Cl2N8O8 (M =947.33 g/mol): Triclinic, space group P-1 (no. 2), a = 9.1714(12) Å, b = 10.4373(14) Å, c = 10.8297(14) Å, α = 112.317(3)°, β = 91.391(3)°, γ = 92.353(3)°, V = 957.3(2) Å3, Z = 1, T = 293.15 K, μ(MoKα) = 1.220 mm-1, Dcalc = 1.643 g/cm3, 10248 reflections measured (4.07° ≤ 2Θ ≤ 53.098°), 3966 unique (Rint = 0.0280, Rsigma = 0.0331) which were used in all calculations.

A new Schiff base, N'-(pyridin-3-ylmethylene)benzenesulfonohydrazide, was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, Mass, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray determination. The asymmetric molecule crystallized in the monoclinic crystal system and P2(1)/c space group. Crystal data for C12H11N3O2S: a = 9.7547(4) Å, b = 9.8108(4) Å, c = 13.1130(5) Å, β = 109.038(2)°, V = 1186.29(8) Å3, Z = 4, μ(MoKα) = 0.270 mm-1, Dcalc = 1.463 g/cm3, 13338 reflections measured (5.296° ≤ 2Θ ≤ 55.484°), 2790 unique (Rint = 0.0494, Rsigma = 0.0400) which were used in all calculations. The final R1 was 0.0345 (I > 2σ(I)) and wR2 was 0.0914 (all data). In the crystal structure of the compound C12H11N3O2S, molecules are linked in a continuous chain by intermolecular of N∙∙∙HN=N hydrogen bonds. The pyridine moiety is planar, while the benzenesulfonohydrazide group adopts a gauche conformation about C-S-N angle (105.54°). The Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots were used to establish the presence, nature, and percentage contribution of the different intermolecular interactions, including N-H∙∙∙N, C-H∙∙∙O, C-H∙∙∙C, and π∙∙∙π interactions, with the C-H contacts having the most significant contribution. The pairwise interaction energies were calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory, and interaction energy profiles showed that the electrostatic forces had the most significant contribution to the total interaction energies of the different molecular pairs in the crystal. In-silico technique was used to examine the compound as a possible anticancer agent. The molecule demonstrated zero violation of the criteria of Lipinski’s rule of five with a polar surface area of 116.03 Å2. The molecule displayed favorable binding interactions with ten selected validated anticancer protein targets ranging from -9.58 to -11.95 kcal/mol and -2.73 to -5.73 kcal/mol on scoring and rescoring, respectively, with London dG and Affinity dG scoring functions. Two proteins; farnesyl transferase and signaling protein, preferred interactions with the Schiff-base over their co-crystallized inhibitors according to London dG scoring. Analysis of binding poses indicated that the Schiff-base made contact with amino acid residues of the two proteins through the N-H, sulphonyl oxygen, and phenyl groups, and this could be exploited in chemical and structural modification towards activity optimization.

Published: September 2021

The adsorption energy of the BMSF-BENZ adsorbed complexes was investigated to understand the non-local dispersion interactions, with many other chemical parameters related to this subject like HOMO and LUMO, energy gap, and the time needed for the BMSF-BENZ to be desorbed from the nanotube (recovery time). Our study reveals that Al-CNT is a promising adsorbent for this drug as Eads of BMSF-BENZ/Al-CNT complexes are -22.09, -38.68, -12.89, -31.01, -27.31, -21.90, and -21.42 kcal/mol in the gas phase on the active atoms of the BMSF BENZ (Br, N8, N9, N58, O35, O41, and S), respectively. In addition, the spontaneous and favorable interaction between the BMSF BENZ and all nanoparticles was confirmed by investigating Gibbs free energy and quantum theory of atoms in molecule analysis (QTAIM) so that it can be used as an electrochemical sensor or biosensor. Furthermore, to more visualize the nature of intermolecular bonding and the strength of interaction between the BMSF-BENZ drug molecule and the nanotube, QTAIM has been widely studied in the case of drug delivery purposes. Al-CNT (4,0) can be extended as a drug delivery system and the work function type sensor.

The study was aimed at examining the role of high tax rises on the spending patterns of the people in Accra township of Ghana. The research gathered data from both secondary and primary sources and used the quantitative research method approach. The key instruments used for the data collection was questionnaire. In all seventy (70) respondents were selected for the study comprising thirty five (35) people from Accra township and thirty five (35) University of Ghana students. The study found out that taxation is very good for nation building since the allocation of funds depends upon the collection of taxes and the government used that revenue for specific purposes. This has a direct economic impact on the socio economic development of Ghana. The study found out that there is a fairly strong relationship between people spending and high tax rises. That is to say the study found out that when tax is high it affects people spending negatively especially the poor because it reduces their income levels, put a tax burden on them, it increases their expenditure and it also increases poverty. The study found out that to be able to ensure effectiveness and efficiency in our tax system it is essential to strike the right balance between designing an attractive tax, there must be transparency and effectiveness in the tax system, tax reform needs to be promoted to widen the tax base and bring a larger part of the population into the formal economy and also tax must reduce excessive reliance on aid and offers a path away from unsustainable revenue streams It is recommended that the government of Ghana should structure the tax based system in a way that there is no inequality in the payment by the poor and the rich and also the people of Ghana should understand the importance of taxation for the development of Ghana and hence there should not be invasion of tax since tax brought to light the importance of tax.

THE CONCEPT OF CONSUMER BEHAVIOR: DEFINITIONS IN A CONTEMPORARY MARKETING PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Nassè Dr. Théophile Bindeouè 
Published: September 2021

There have been some multiple understandings and considerations of the concept of consumer behavior, however little is known about the concept in this contemporary area. This research purpose is to explore the concept of consumer behavior under different aspects of its interpretation. The approach is based on a sound documentary analysis, with some direct and indirect observations. It consists of a sound search for relevant literature, followed by the evaluation of sources, an identification of themes, and gaps.
The results show that there are some similarities but also some differences in the definition of the concept following the research context. As such, there is not a quite common definition of this concept. However, a common conception of consumer behavior refers to the particular perceptions of habits, lifestyles, attitude and practices.
Keywords: Consumer behavior, Consumption, Africa, Marketing.
