Experiencias LGBTQI+ en el acceso y la permanencia laboral
Authors: Espíndola Elena , Jara Ariadna 
Published: November 2024

Este trabajo se propone analizar el acceso y la permanencia laboral de la población LGBTQI+, y reflexionar sobre las prácticas que enfrentan las personas LGBTQI+ en el ámbito laboral. Para ello, se parte de entrevistas realizadas a activistas que integran este colectivo, las cuales fueron recopiladas en el marco del “Primer Relevamiento Nacional de Condiciones de Vida de la Diversidad Sexual y Genérica,” llevado a cabo por el Centro de Estudios de Población. Dicho relevamiento se desarrolló en seis nodos correspondientes a las siguientes regiones: Patagonia, Noroeste Argentino (NOA), Centro/Pampeana, Nordeste/Litoral (NEA), Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA) y Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA). El presente trabajo recoge datos sobre las experiencias de activistas en el ámbito laboral que residen en las provincias de Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Entre Ríos, Jujuy, Neuquén, Río Negro y Santa Fe, pertenecientes a las regiones NOA, NEA, Patagonia, Centro y GBA. Entre los resultados hallados, se destaca que el acceso y la permanencia laboral están atravesados por una división cis-sexual del trabajo, por el género y por una percepción de no conformidad con la heteronormatividad por parte de empleadores e instituciones. Se concluye que, a pesar de los avances legales en Argentina, la inserción laboral de la población LGBTQI+ sigue siendo un desafío.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To use a point-of-care viscoelastic coagulation monitoring device (VCM-Vet; Entegrion) and traditional tests to assess hemostatic changes during hemorrhagic shock in dogs.

METHODS
8 healthy, purpose-bred Beagles were enrolled in a hemorrhagic shock model conducted from September through December 2021. Dogs were anesthetized, had baseline hemostatic variables measured after blood pressure was stabilized at 70 to 80 mm Hg for 10 minutes (T1), had blood withdrawn from a jugular vein to achieve a mean blood pressure of 40 ± 5 mm Hg for 10 minutes (T2), were resuscitated with 100% shed blood, and then had hemostatic variables evaluated 10 minutes later (T3). At each time point, hemostatic variables were measured with traditional tests (Hct, WBC count, platelet count, mean platelet volume, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT], and concentrations of fibrinogen, antithrombin, and D-dimer) and the VCM-Vet device (clot time, clot formation time, α-angle, maximum clot formation, amplitude at 10 minutes [A10], amplitude at 20 minutes [A20], clot lysis index at 30 minutes [LI30], and clot lysis index at 45 minutes [LI45]).

RESULTS
All dogs survived without complication. At T2 and T3 (vs T1), samples had significantly higher coagulability (increased median α-angle, A10, and A20) and fibrinolysis (decreased median LI30 and LI45) and significantly longer aPTT; however, all values remained within reference limits.

CONCLUSIONS
The use of VCM-Vet helped identify complex hemostatic disturbances in dogs with hemorrhagic shock.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
The use of VCM-Vet shows promise in aiding veterinarians in optimizing resuscitation strategies based on real-time clotting data.

Curriculum Assessment Reform for Convention and Exhibition English
Authors: Zou Fang 
Published: November 2024

Convention and Exhibition English is a typical course in English for Specific Purposes (ESP). With Chinese business activities increasing, there is a growing demand for convention and exhibition-related talents, since most businesses are in connection with these events. To cultivate competent graduates, Guangdong Technology College has tried replacing traditional written test with a video in the assessment of students’ performance after their learning of this course to stimulate practice and self-exploring. Role play in the videos can inspire students’ interest in this field and build up their confidence in English. This article will introduce the background information on the development of the course, the necessity of its reform, and how it has been implemented. This paper aims to attract attention to the creative reform of teachers and hopes to contribute to more studies on ESP teaching for the better cultivation of English talents that the growing Chinese economy requires.
Why We Committed Murder: Views from Convicted Prisoners in Niger State, Nigeria
Authors: Ndashiru Usman Isah Ndashiru A. , Dalhatu Bala Muhammad Dalhatu 
Published: November 2024

The killing of a human being by his or her fellow beats rational imagination. It becomes extremely difficult to comprehend the rationale that makes individuals become deliberately responsible for the death of their kind. Murder is a baffling issue that poses a significant threat to humanity and highlights the challenges to civilization and societal development. Its ongoing presence questions the overall health of any society. This paper examines the reasons murderers in prisons provide for their actions, using strain and social disorganization theories as a framework. Semi-structured questionnaires were given to 615 convicted violent offenders in four Niger State prisons, selected through a multi-stage sampling technique. Additionally, sixteen prison warders were interviewed for further insights. The findings indicate that low income (P= .934) was not statistically significant at (P= 0.05) level of significance for the explanation of murder unless redolent with peer pressure (p= 0.02). Special loan packages and partnerships for and between members of the community are suggested to be instituted and encouraged to reduce the pangs of hard economic situations and lack of social capital, which are also potent factors for the explanation of murder.

Fostering interdisciplinary intercultural citizenship with virtual reality in a world language virtual exchange project
Authors: Gruber Alice , Wagner Manuela 
Published: November 2024

Intercultural dialogue is an essential component of intercultural citizenship, i.e., students’ ability to address complex societal issues. With more interconnected problems comes an increased need for students to communicate and collaborate with people from differing backgrounds. This preliminary study combined the framework of Intercultural Citizenship (ICit) and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) with Virtual Reality (VR) and Virtual Exchange (VE) to investigate the students’ development of ICit. Fifteen learners of German, consisting of university students of German in the United States and students studying at a German university, met in dyads or triads in VR over six weeks and worked on their independent projects in which they each addressed a societal environmental problem of their choice. Analyses of the data (pre-project and post-project surveys, weekly journal entries, project presentations) revealed that participants developed their intercultural competence and enhanced their critical language awareness. Some students showed a shift of emphasis: While at the beginning they were more concerned with linguistic elements of the German language toward the end of the project they were focused on the topic of their project. Finally, participants appreciated the VR setting for building relationships, communicating, and developing intercultural competence in an authentic setting.
This study underscores the potential of advancing ICit and intercultural communicative competence (ICC) through a VR-VE format, emphasizing VR-VE’s potential in fostering relationships-building between students. It also offers students practical experience in navigating and appreciating the complexities of intercultural communication.

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the association between type 1 diabetes mellitus development, breastfeeding and early cereal introduction in Pakistani children. Study Design: Case-control study. Setting: Allied Hospital in Faisalabad, Pakistan. Period: November 2023 to February 2024. Methods: Involving 220 children ranged from 2 to 10 years were selected for case (diagnosed with type 1 diabetes) and Control group (without diagnosed with type 1 diabetes). Researchers developed a questionnaire based on information about breastfeeding, cereal introduction and other factors associated with type 1 diabetes. Parents were requested to complete the questionnaire regarding their child, mother, and family. Results: The mean ages of children were slightly higher in the control group (6.2±5.5 years) compared to the case group (5.67±7.4 years). This research determined that a one-month cumulative increase in exclusive breastfeeding for the duration of the breastfeeding period decreased the individual risk by 47.8% to 13.9% less probability in type 1 DM case. Among cases, 47.8% of the children were exclusively breastfed for less than one month, which was very low, while in the control group, this proportion was lower at 30. 6%. Furthermore, more cases (22.6%) were exclusively breastfed for 6 months compared to controls (13.9%). Among cases, 45.5% of children did not consume formula, whereas in the control group, this percentage was lower at 54.2%. Additionally, a higher proportion of controls (39.8%) were introduced to the formula before 6 months compared to cases (30.0%). Cereals were introduced to 5.55% of cases and 3.12% of controls prior to six months of age. Conclusion: Children who were breastfed for a longer period of time had a lower chance of type 1 diabetes, while children who were introduced to cereal and other food at an early age had a higher risk of the disease. Extended breastfeeding lowers the risk of diabetes by offering important protective effects from birth.

Officina di IG XIV2 – Civic Inscriptions from Hellenistic Kephaloidion
Authors: Llamazares Martín Andoni 
Published: November 2024

This study delves into the only three Hellenistic civic inscriptions of Kephaloidion (modern Cefalù), a secondary harbour in northern Sicily. The inscriptions, despite their fragmentary nature, reveal unique linguistic and historical features that align with regional trends, including the role of civic officials. Two of these inscriptions are rather early examples of civic epigraphy in Kephaloidion, and appear to be dedications of local officials with some unique features. The third one, a statue base honouring a Roman individual of the gens Domitia, may be one of the oldest examples of honorific epigraphy for a provincial governor in Sicily, if identified with L. Domitius Ahenobarbus (pr. 97 BC).

Usaha kecil tidak selamanya kecil. Entitas level bawah ini akan kuat manakala produktivitas dan sistem pemasarannya mampu menyesuaikan dengan kondisi dan kebutuhan pasar. Salah satu entitas yang sedang dicermati adalah usaha kue basah Getuk Lindri Mon Geudong di Desa Mon Geudong Kecamatan Banda Sakti Kota Lhokseumawe. Berada dikawasan perkotaan Lhokseumawe, usaha Getuk Lindri Mon Geudong saat ini terlihat merajai pasaran. Kue yang terbuat dari bahan dasar ubi itu laku keras diminati konsumen. Ironinya keunggulan usaha ternyata tidak disertai dengan kesigapan manajemen. Pengelola tidak dapat mengatur pola produksi dan memnuhi sistem pemasaran secara terpadu. Dari sisi produksi, usaha getuk lindri terlihat terkendala dalam proses pemesanan bahan baku, dan waktu produksi yang terlalu lama. Setiap hari ubi yang diolah mencapai 40 kg/hari. Pada hari-hari tertentu permintaan melonjak tajam, rumah produksi getuk lindri tidak mampu memenuhinya dengan baik. Hal ini disebabkan karena kapasitas peralatan masak terlalu kecil dan mesin yang digunakan sudah banyak rusak. Selain itu, sistem pemasaran getuk lindri pun juga belum terintegrasi secara online. Padahal menggunakan sistem penjualan berbasis online terbukti efektif dan sangat digandrungi oleh masyarakat. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat merupakan skema program kemitraan masyarakat (PKM) pendanaan dari Akademik Pendidikan Tinggi Vokasi (APTV) Batch III Kemendikbud Ristek tahun 2024. Metode yang digunakan dalam melaksanakan program pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah metode Participatory Learning And Action. Metode pelaksanaannya dilakukan melalui ceramah, demontrasi, simulasi, dan praktik langsung di ruangan laboratorium micro finance jurusan Bisnis Politeknik Negeri Lhokseumawe. Hasil kegiatannya terlihat sangat efektif. Usaha Getuk Lindri Mon Geudong kini mampu berproduksi 60 kg/hari. Sejumlah peralatan yang diberikan sudah dapat dimanfaatkan dengan baik. Permasalahan proses produksi juga sudah tertanggulangi dengan pengeluaran biaya jauh lebih rendah.
