Muchos estudios han demostrado que el uso de herramientas de simulación es muy útil en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje de redes de computadoras, del mismo modo son ampliamente utilizadas para la construcción de topologías de redes que representan escenarios del mundo real en áreas de investigación para pruebas de medición del rendimiento de diferentes arquitecturas de redes, análisis de protocolos y pruebas de configuraciones en dispositivos [1].
Hoy la tendencia en el despliegue de infraestructura de servidores y las aplicaciones que éstos ejecutan se orienta al uso de contenedores, los cuales se ejecutan como instancias virtualizadas independientes, lo que permite simplificar, agilizar, reutilizar y escalar los servicios que éstos prestan [2].
La virtualización de redes se suma ahora a las ventajas en la utilización de contenedores. En el año 2021 la herramienta Containerlab, surge como una iniciativa de ingenieros de Nokia, la cual permite el despliegue y administración de topologías de redes mediante la virtualización de Sistemas Operativos de Red contenerizados.
Como parte de los resultados finales del Proyecto de Investigación “Estudio de la implementación del protocolo de Internet versión 6 en el ámbito regional y su impacto en los usuarios finales”, el cual se desarrolló en el ámbito de la Universidad Católica de Salta, este trabajo expone un análisis de la herramienta Containerlab, en base a una caso de uso para la construcción de un escenario de pruebas para el estudio de la configuración automática de direcciones IPv6 sin estado (SLAAC).

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the clinical and laboratory outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes by comparing the no reuse or reuse of syringes and needles for insulin injection.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Adults with type 2 diabetes who had reused syringes and needles at least three times were randomly instructed either to not reuse or to reuse insulin syringes and needles five times. The primary outcomes assessed were glycemic control, pain scores, and skin complications (ecchymosis, lipohypertrophy, nodules, infection) at baseline and 4, 8, and 12 weeks after the intervention. Secondary outcomes included treatment adherence, quality of life, microbiological contamination of syringes and needles, needle quality, and insulin injection technique.

RESULTS
Among the 71 participants (mean ± SD age 59.7 ± 8.8 years), 59% were women with a median duration of diabetes of 18 years (interquartile range 10–25 years) and a mean BMI of 31.7 ± 6.7 kg/m2. The group that reused syringes and needles experienced an increase in lipohypertrophy/nodules (0.16 ± 0.08, P = 0.040) but did not experience worsening pain or glycemic control, even when the syringes and needles were inserted into the skin with great effort. There was no difference in the total number of skin complications, quality of life, or microbiological contamination. Both groups improved treatment adherence, with a greater increase in the reuse group.

CONCLUSIONS
The reuse of syringes and needles is associated with a modest increase in lipohypertrophy/nodules but does not have a short-term impact on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
This study investigated the effects of recombinant equine IL-31 (eIL-31) in vivo and in vitro.

METHODS
Equine IL-31 mRNA sequences were verified by sequencing. Recombinant eIL-31 was produced using mammalian and bacterial expression systems. From November 2019 through February 2021, 12 normal horses, 6 to 10 years old with no history or clinical signs consistent with allergic skin disease, were injected ID with eIL-31 and saline in 2 challenge studies. Pruritus-associated behaviors were recorded for a minimum of 15 minutes preinjection and 4 hours postinjection. Adherent monocytes from 3 pruritic horses, exhibiting insect bite hypersensitivity and/or atopic dermatitis, were stimulated with bacterial eIL-31, and subsequent phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was measured by western blot and AlphaLISA.

RESULTS
The bacterial eIL-31 was produced with greater purity than the mammalian eIL-31 (> 95% vs 70%). Pruritus was elicited by both recombinant proteins. The mammalian eIL-31 induced mild pruritus (cumulative seconds spent itching postinjection ranged from 6 to 313). The bacterial eIL-31 induced marked pruritus in some horses (a cumulative maximum of 5,529 seconds spent itching in 1 horse) and a milder response in others (range of cumulative seconds spent itching, 17 to 2,313). Most pruritus occurred after 2 hours and subsided by 4 hours postinjection. Bacterial eIL-31 induced STAT3 phosphorylation in adherent monocytes from allergic horses.

CONCLUSIONS
In this proof-of-concept study, IL-31 was found to mediate pruritus and was associated with STAT3 phosphorylation in horses as in other species.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Interleukin 31 is a promising therapeutic target for equine allergic pruritus.
Citing Jorge Luis Borges
Authors: Henricksen Wes 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The works and ideas of Jorge Luis Borges have had a major impact on literature, movies, art, philosophy, and pop culture. His influence in these areas has been documented and studied. To date, however, there has been no significant effort to catalog or discuss the impact Borges has had on legal scholarship. The impact is significant. Hundreds of law journal articles, essays, and book reviews reference Borges and his work. For instance, authors have used Borges stories as a lens through which to analyze legal doctrines and developments. Others have quoted Borges to help convey particular ideas or principles. This paper aims to identify all references to Borges and his work in the legal scholarly literature, and to analyze the ways authors rely on Borges to determine the nature and extent of Borges's influence on legal scholarship. My aim is primarily to evaluate the scholarly treatment as a whole, rather than focus on individual cases. As such, I have attempted to compile a comprehensive list of Borges references in the legal scholarship to date. If I have omitted any scholarly works that should be included, please let me know and I will happily add them.
Using Structural Equation Modeling to Explore the Influence of Environmental Concern on the Willingness to Pay for Green Energy and Green Products – the Case of Poland

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Concern for the sustainability of the natural environment is garnering increasing interest across the globe. Environmental issues may significantly impact individuals and societies in various ways, such as by influencing behaviors aimed at adopting more sustainable lifestyles and making eco-friendly purchasing decisions. This study investigates the attitudes of Polish consumers towards pro-environmental behaviors, specifically focusing on environmental concern (EC), promoting pro-environmental behavior (PPB), the belief that Poland should move away from coal (MAFC), and willingness to pay (WTP). Data on these variables were collected in 2023 from a sample of 554 Polish respondents selected using a non-random sampling method. Results were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings revealed that environmental concern (EC) influences promoting pro-environmental behavior (PPB) and that both EC and PPB affect the belief that Poland should move away from coal (MAFC). Additionally, promoting pro-environmental behavior (PPB) and MAFC were found to influence willingness to pay (WTP). However, EC was not found to have a significant direct impact on WTP. The hypotheses were tested using a structural equation model, validated by such fit indices as CMIN/df = 2.542 (<3.0), RMSEA = 0.053 (<0.08) and CFI = 0.985 (>0.90).
Polish Gen-Z Consumers’ Attitudes to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Authors: Pacut Mirosław 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a management concept that has emerged in response to society’s growing sensitivity to the negative externalities of economic activity. The market success of contemporary enterprises is no longer determined solely by their ability to innovate and select tools for shaping their market positions, but also by their capability to define their roles within the social environment of which they are undoubtedly a part. This article aims to explore how Polish Generation Z consumers perceive and respond to CSR initiatives implemented by enterprises. Understanding their perspectives is particularly crucial, given that the attitudes, preferences, and behaviors of this demographic will soon significantly influence market landscapes and enterprises’ potential to attain success in them. The findings reveal that young Polish consumers place considerable importance on corporate social responsibility. This significance is reflected in their overall attitudes towards CSR initiatives and their willingness to actively support these efforts, such as through their market choices.
Virtualization of Service Consumer Behavior in Poland – A Post-Pandemic Perspective
Authors: Kucharska Barbara , Malinowska Mirosława 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
This article explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the virtualization of consumer behaviors in the Polish service sector, emphasizing shifts in service delivery mechanisms. The pandemic acted as a catalyst, accelerating the adoption of virtual solutions across various sectors including tourism, gastronomy, culture, education, and healthcare, as necessitated by social distancing and other restrictive measures. The article first outlines the integration of digital solutions into various service sectors, focusing on the impact of these technologies on consumer behaviors and service delivery. Next, utilizing an online survey conducted in November 2022 with a sample of 1,100 respondents, whose socio-demographic profile corresponds with that of Polish internet users (Ariadna panel), the study examines consumer perceptions and the effectiveness of digital transformations during the pandemic. The findings indicate a high appreciation among Polish consumers for virtual solutions that improved access to and use of services during restrictive periods. However, the continuation of these virtual engagements post-pandemic appears selective, with significant inclination towards solutions in administrative, food delivery, and telemedical services, while long-term engagement in virtual cultural services is less favored. This study underscores the dual role of necessity and technological advancement in reshaping consumer interactions with service sectors, suggesting a sustained yet selective future for virtual service consumption post-pandemic.
