Plastics: Time for a Rethink? Part 1
Authors: Armstrong Nick , Kahatab Ahmed , Da Hon Michaela , Croke Eamon 
Published: October 2024

##Purpose: To review recent literature on plastics in the environment and summarise the dangers of plastic both in the environment and their potential health effects on humans. An online search for articles in the scientific literature on the environmental and health effects of plastics, microplastics and nanoplastic particles. The review showed that the production of plastics is increasing worldwide and has spread throughout the environment. Evidence of damage to the environment from all types of waste is increasing, including distressing evidence of sea animals swallowing plastic bags and starving or getting trapped in plastic. 81 out of 123 marine mammal species are known to have eaten plastic or been trapped by it. Microplastics could be undermining the food chain in the oceans by reducing the growth rate of Zooplankton. There is increasing evidence of potentially dangerous health effects from the ingestion and inhalation of plastics by humans. Approximately, 4,200 chemicals are used in plastics, some of which are toxic. Some chemicals used in plastic manufacture are hormone disruptors. ##Conclusion: The use of plastics and their waste is producing dangerous environmental and health effects worldwide. The use of plastics in dentistry needs to be considered with the view of reducing the amount used and the disposal of waste.
Selection of Optimum Enhancement Technique for the Discrimination of Alkali Granites and Syenites around Suryamalai Batholith of Central Tamil Nadu, India
Authors: Alagan Muthamilselvan 
Published: October 2024

Image processing techniques such as Band Ratio, Principal Component Analysis, Supervised, Unsupervised classification and Reclassification techniques are generally used as an enhancement technique for alteration zone demarcation and lithological discrimination in geosciences environment. In the present study, Landsat OLI satellite imagery has been utilized to produce various combinations of image enhancement to discriminate alkali syenite and alkali granite of Proterozoic age. These techniques were also used to differentiate three phases of granites reported in Suryamalai Batholith which is very difficult to map by conventional method due to its rugged topographic nature. 12 types of enhancement techniques were applied to differentiate rock alkali syenite from granite, however only few methods such as Kaufmanns ratio, ratio of 5/7, 3/1 and 3/5 and supervised classification were found to be suitable for the discrimination of those rocky types. Band ratio 5/7, 3/1 and 3/5, Crosta analysis and thermal reclassification techniques significantly brought to light the difference between the metamorphic rocks such as fissile hornblende biotite gneiss and hornblende biotite gneiss of Archaean age. Similarly, phase I and phase III granites were perfectly discriminated from all the image enhancement techniques. It is differentiated mainly based on its grain size and mineral variation between these two rock types. Study revealed that standard digital image processing technique can be effectively used for lithological mapping.
Prevalence and risk factors for blood-borne viruses among multi-transfused patients in Sana'a City, Yemen
Authors: Ghaleb Yasser , Othman Arwa Mohammed , Assayaghi Rowa . M 
Published: October 2024

Background: Blood-borne viruses (BBVs), like hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among multi-transfused patients (MTPs), remain a major public health problem in Yemen. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of BBVs and associated risk factors among MTPs.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on MTPs at the Yemeni Society for Thalassemia, National Oncology Center, and Al Kuwait University Hospital in Sana’a City. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a predesigned questionnaire. Blood samples were drawn and tested for HBsAg, anti-HCV, and HIV-1,2 by using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay technique.
Results: Among 361 MTPs, the overall seroprevalence of BBVs was 6.8%; seropositivity of HBsAg, anti-HCV, and anti-HIV-1,2 was 3.9%, 2.9%, and 0.0%, respectively. An increase in family size and low income were significantly associated factors with HBV infection. In addition, increases in age and blood transfusion units were found to be significant predictors for HCV (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Although the seroprevalence of BBVs is low, it remains a major problem among MTPs. The most frequent infection was HBV, followed by HCV, with a significantly higher rate among leukemia patients. Regular mentoring for viral markers and mandatory implementation of HCV antigen-antibodies testing as well as advanced technology in blood screening are highly recommended.

Introdução: Observa-se um aumento na prevalência de transtornos mentais como depressão e ansiedade e o Brasil, segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde, ocupa o 3º lugar dessa prevalência no mundo. Apesar dessas condições tratarem-se de uma disfunção da atividade cerebral, têm sido mostrado que o estilo de vida, a exemplo do padrão alimentar, pode contribuir para um quadro inflamatório crônico que tem relação com Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis, incluindo transtornos mentais. Torna-se necessário investigar se a alimentação impacta na saúde mental, visto que, conhecer essa relação, pode contribuir com ações de prevenção em saúde para a população em geral. Objetivo: Identificar se há relação entre alimentação e saúde mental, a partir das hipóteses dos transtornos mentais. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa da literatura, no período entre 2018 e 2023, nas bases de dados: PubMed, Scielo, LILACS e Medline. Os termos utilizados foram “nutrição”, “estilo de vida”, “saúde mental”. Foram incluídos quinze artigos. Resultados: Os padrões alimentares saudáveis desempenham um papel importante na redução do risco de depressão e no controle de seus sintomas. Esses padrões, representados pela dieta predominantemente baseada em vegetais, estão associados a um risco reduzido de transtornos depressivos, de ansiedade e bipolar. Contudo, uma dieta ocidental rica em alimentos pró-inflamatórios corrobora para um quadro inflamatório que aumenta o risco de desenvolver esses transtornos. Os mecanismos de ação da dieta podem influenciar a saúde mental e cerebral os quais incluem modulação de vias envolvidas na inflamação, estresse oxidativo, glutamatérgica, monoaminas, microbiota intestinal, eixo hipotálamo-hipófise-adrenal, neurogênese no hipocampo adulto e fator neurotrófico derivado do cérebro, metabolismo do triptofano-quinurenina, disfunção mitocondrial, epigenética, obesidade. Conclusão: Observa-se que a nutrição pode exercer impacto na saúde mental e, portanto, ser um fator protetor considerável em programas de atenção à saúde em políticas públicas para prevenir e tratar transtornos mentais.

El manejo de las crisis complejas que enfrenta el mundo -climática, migratoria, educativa, sanitaria, etc.- requiere de un esfuerzo de cooperación internacional, creciente, decidido y diversificado, donde además de los gobiernos, participen múltiples actores. En este contexto, las organizaciones internacionales (OI) adquieren un papel fundamental en la gobernanza social global, gracias a su presencia en prácticamente todos los países y, al poner al servicio de los gobiernos y la ciudadanía, sus capacidades y experiencia. Sobra decir que la agenda social global es una de las agendas más relevantes del tiempo presente, con repercusiones tangibles para la vida de cientos de miles de personas.
Gestión directiva de la crisis a través de la construcción social de sentido ante los cambios generados por la acreditación internacional de programas educativos en la Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas
Authors: Márquez de León Erik 
Published: October 2024

En este estudio se analiza la gestión de la crisis que realizaron los directivos de la UAT ocasionada por los cambios que se presentaron en la implementación de la política institucional de acreditación internacional de los programas educativos de licenciatura a través de la construcción social de sentido, que les permitió comprender de mejor forma el entorno turbulento para tomar decisiones durante el proceso acreditador y con ello lograr la acreditación. Se trata de un estudio de caso con enfoque cualitativo, alcance explicativo y la información se obtuvo por medio de la aplicación de cuatro entrevistas a directivos involucrados en el proceso de acreditación internacional. Se utiliza el método narrativo y la perspectiva teórica del sensemaking para recuperar la experiencia vivida por los directivos en los momentos de crisis y el sentido que le dieron a los cambios para justificar socialmente sus decisiones durante el proceso reorganizador. Los hallazgos muestran que la construcción social de sentido fue una herramienta clave para que los directivos lograrán gestionar la crisis provocada por cambios en los procesos de comunicación, financiamiento/gestión de los recursos, gestión organizacional, formas de trabajar y participación, con decisiones centradas en las características del entorno universitario, la confianza en el trabajo de los actores educativos, las negociaciones y la cultura organizacional durante el proceso de acreditación internacional.
Discapacidad intelectual, inclusión educativa y pandemia por COVID-19: crítica a la exclusión normalizada en la gestión de las organizaciones educativas
Authors: Morales Montero Norma Patricia , Jiménez Rosado Rubén Darío 
Published: October 2024

En el presente artículo, se hace una revisión teórica del transcurrir de los procesos educativos para personas con discapacidad intelectual en el contexto de la pandemia por COVID-19, con el objetivo de analizar las decisiones y omisiones propias de la gestión educativa que abonaron a la exclusión y desamparo de un sector fundamental para el logro de la educación y sociedad inclusivas. Mediante un análisis crítico, se mostrará el proceso de reproducción de la exclusión e invisibilización por los que ha atravesado la educación para personas con discapacidad intelectual y su lucha por el logro de una inclusión plena, responsable de cambios legales e institucionales fundamentales. Se afirma que se operó una normalización biológica, cognitiva, afectiva y funcional del sujeto educativo en contra del reconocimiento de las particularidades en el aprendizaje que operaban como consenso de los sistemas educativos modernos. Esta normalización permanece en la gestión educativa como dogma de su funcionamiento imposibilitando el cambio organizacional hacia la inclusión, subyugando así a la didáctica a una dinámica en el desamparo productora de exclusión. Se plantean una serie de aprendizajes para una gestión educativa inclusiva pospandemia.
La crisis del nivel preescolar desde la voz de sus actores
Authors: Zenil Ongay Adriana Matilde 
Published: October 2024

La realidad social es tan compleja que tiene muchas aristas sobre las cuales es importante reflexionar. Escuchar la voz de los diferentes actores educativos, desde sus propios sistemas de acción concreta, puede ampliar el horizonte para entender y comprender mejor los fenómenos educativos y las crisis que de éstos se pudieran desprender.El presente artículo toma como unidad de estudio la crisis del nivel preescolar, y como base empírica, la opinión y experiencia de seis educadoras frente a grupo y tres trabajadores administrativos que laboran en una zona escolar del Estado de Michoacán. Las divergencias y similitudes entre la apreciación subjetiva de cada uno de los actores educativos sobre la crisis que está atravesando el nivel preescolar, junto con la teoría organizacional bajo la cual se analizan sus respuestas, muestran vetas interesantes para la investigación organizacional en el ámbito educativo. Se concluye que la crisis del nivel preescolar tiene orígenes de tipo estructural y organizacional que parten desde la Secretaría de Educación Pública; y una serie de demandas sociales que al no ser atendidas por medio de otras instituciones, repercuten en los diferentes niveles educativos.

Authors: Cruz Hernández Pablo Armando , Méndez Bahena Benjamín 
Published: October 2024

El manejo de la crisis por parte de gobiernos sub nacionales, es un tema poco tratado pues generalmente los trabajos de investigación centran su atención en cómo los gobiernos nacionales manejan los eventos críticos. Sin embargo, los gobiernos sub-nacionales desempeñan una labor fundamental cuando una crisis emerge, pues se encargan de implementar las políticas públicas diseñadas para salvaguardar el bienestar ciudadano durante y después de una crisis. Este trabajo representa un esfuerzo para indagar respecto a la manera en cómo los gobiernos sub-nacionales generan e implementan políticas públicas para tratar con la situación crítica durante y después de su aparición. Se presentan tres casos para ilustrar cómo el manejo de crisis se encuentra relacionado con el tipo de liderazgo. En la primera sección, se abordan aspectos generales sobre la teoría de crisis y su manejo. A continuación, se exponen algunas políticas implementadas por los tres gobiernos durante la pandemia. En un tercer momento, se analiza cómo los gobiernos sub-nacionales generaron, o no, políticas públicas para aumentar la resistencia social ante posibles crisis futuras. Concluimos con señalar que algunos gobiernos se encuentran más preocupados con los temas de pérdida de legitimidad y rendición de cuentas.

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) pose significant health challenges globally and are responsible for a considerable proportion of hospital admissions and healthcare costs. Among non-allied health foreign students at the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA (UPHSD) in Las Piñas, concerns have emerged regarding ADRs resulting from the use of commonly available over-the-counter (OTC) medications. This study investigates the perception of ADRs among non-allied health foreign students on the UPHSD Las Piñas campus, focusing on their awareness of the potential effects of commonly used medications.
Aim: The study aims to access the perception on adverse drug reaction of commonly used medication among non-allied health foreign students in UPHSD Las Piñas Campus.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted among non-allied health foreign students enrolled at UPHSD-LP. Semi-structured interviews and questionnaires were used to collect data from the participants. Chi square test was used to explore the relationship between the demographic characteristics of the students and their perceptions of ADRs.
Results: The study found that non-allied health foreign students at UPHSD Las Piñas generally lack knowledge about ADRs. Data analysis revealed a low level of awareness and reporting of ADRs among the respondents, with no significant relationship found between the students' demographic profiles and their perceptions of ADRs.
Conclusion: The study concluded that non-allied health foreign students at UPHSD Las Piñas campus have limited knowledge about ADRs, which leads to underreporting of adverse effects and improper medication use. This lack of awareness is a concern given the prevalence of ADRs and their potentially severe consequences.
