Background
K. pneumoniae stands as a prominent contributor to hospital outbreaks on a global scale. Furthermore, there is a rising trend of antibiotic-resistant strains of K. pneumoniae causing severe and potentially fatal invasive infections, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Thus, knowledge of the genetic relatedness of this bacterium is necessary to solve this problem using the BOX–PCR technique.

Objective

This research aimed to determine the genetic relatedness of nosocomial K. pneumoniae isolated from different clinical sources with antibiotic resistance.

Materials and Methods
Between March 2021 and June 2021, a collective of 45 nosocomial K. pneumoniae isolates were obtained from various sources. Additionally, all isolates underwent diagnosis through both conventional tests and an automated system, specifically the VITEK-2. In the present study, six antibiotics from different classes were examined for activity against K. pneumoniae using Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion. DNA was extracted from fifteen isolated using Wizard™ Genomic DNA Purification Kit. Thus, BOX-PCR was used to identify the genetic relatedness of this bacterium.

Results
According to the source of samples, they were distributed to 25/45 (55.56%) sputum, 15/45 (33.33%) urine, 3/45(6.67%) wound, and 2/45(4.44%) blood. The antibiotic susceptibility profile revealed high resistance rates, notably against 95.5% Piperacillin-tazobactam, 80% Ceftriaxone and Ceftazidime, and 75.6% Cefepime. Of the 45 K. pneumoniae isolates analyzed, a significant proportion exhibited resistance to multiple antibiotics, with 33.33% classified as MDR strains. Molecular typing using BOX repetitive sequences demonstrated a high degree of genetic variability among the isolates, with the presence of unique genotypes and strong clonality observed. Dendrogram analysis showed the genetic relationship among antibiotics-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates.

Conclusion
The current work showed that the BOX-PCR technique is necessary for the investigation of the genetic diversity of K. pneumoniae, and it is an easy, reproducible, fast, and cost-effective tool.

Published: August 2024

El mercado de las APIs web se mantiene en constante crecimiento, donde empresas capitalizan las ventajas de las APIs para expandirse, impulsado por la Economía API. Ante este contexto, la gestión de APIs se torna crucial, con proveedores de servicios en la nube ofreciendo soluciones de gestión como componentes centrales de sus productos, formando grandes ecosistemas. De esta manera, los Ecosistemas de API Web (EAW) representan complejas redes de empresas interdependientes que obtienen beneficios a través de la colaboración y la competencia. Estos ecosistemas se implementan en plataformas digitales y pueden considerarse como Ecosistemas de Plataformas (EP), siendo un tema de estudio multifacético debido a su impacto en la provisión de productos y servicios, la competencia empresarial y la innovación. En esta constante evolución, los Ecosistemas de Software (SECO) aparecen como un tópico emergente en la ingeniería de software, donde se combinan aspectos técnicos y sociales para reducir costos y llegar a nuevos mercados.

Este estudio plantea analizar y representar a los EAW desde una perspectiva sociotécnica a partir de un modelo de características para identificar un conjunto de funcionalidades comunes y variables, obteniendo así una configuración sociotécnica de los EAW. Como metodología se emplea el enfoque de Design Science Research (DSR) para construir y validar este modelo, que se implementa en dos casos de estudio: RapidAPI y ApiLayer. En base a un framework sociotécnico de un estudio relacionado a este trabajo, que identifica cuatro características generales de los EAW, se obtiene como resultado un modelo de características sociotécnicas. Luego, se instancia el modelo en los dos casos de estudios para realizar su evaluación de su variabilidad.

Published: August 2024

A necessidade humana de comunicação associada a maior disponibilidade de dispositivos digitais e de acesso à internet no cotidiano das pessoas está favorecendo um aumento importante do consumo e da produção de conteúdos audiovisuais na/para as mídias sociais digitais, como o YouTube e Instagram, por exemplo. Nesta nova realidade, há espaço para participação de produtores não especialistas, ou seja, pessoas sem formação e experiências específicas também estão produzindo conteúdo audiovisual. Como o processo de produção audiovisual por não especialistas ainda é pouco conhecido, faz-se necessário investiga-lo. Trabalhos anteriores identificaram que produtores não especialistas participam de atividades ao longo de todo o processo de produção audiovisual para mídias sociais digitais, porém evitam editar o conteúdo gravado. Esses produtores também relataram dificuldades em atividades de edição de áudio e vídeo. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar se e quais fatores de usabilidade da interface do software Audacity podem estar atrapalhando o processo de produção audiovisual por produtores não especialistas. Empregou-se questionário pré-teste, teste de usabilidade, entrevista pós-teste e o System Usability Scale. Os 10 participantes realizaram 4 tarefas: ajuste de volume, corte de áudio, remoção de ruído e distorção da voz. Os resultados evidenciaram oportunidades de melhoria na usabilidade da interface do Audacity, em particular na facilidade de aprendizado e eficiência de uso por não especialistas. As dificuldades de uso do Audacity observadas neste trabalho podem justificar em parte os resultados reportados em estudos anteriores, tanto o comportamento de evitar editar o conteúdo gravado, quanto as dificuldades na edição de áudio relatadas por produtores de conteúdo não especialistas.

This research is entitled "the influence of english learning animation media on second grade students at state elementary school 122371 Pematangsiantar". This research is motivated by the researcher's thinking that animation media is suitable for use by 2nd grade elementary school children. Children's interest in animation media lies in the audio-visuals displayed in animation media. This study aims to evaluate the effect of learning media on the English language skills of grade 2 elementary school students. With the development of technology and increasingly innovative teaching methods, learning media such as animated videos, interactive applications and educational games have been widely used in the language learning process. This study used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design, involving two groups of 2nd grade elementary school students as research samples. The experimental group was given English language learning using interactive media, while the control group was given conventional learning without additional media. The results showed that students who learned with the help of interactive media showed significant improvements in listening, speaking, reading and writing skills compared to the control group. These findings indicate that the use of interactive learning media can have a positive impact on English language learning at the primary education level. The implications of this research suggest that educators consider integrating learning media in the curriculum to increase teaching effectiveness and student learning motivation.
The Evolution of the EAC Economic Institutions
Authors: Ivkina N. V. , Chkoniya L. E. , Kruglov Ya. A. 
Published: August 2024

Introduction. The article analyzes the functioning of the main East African Community (EAC) economic institutions – the Customs Union, the Common Market and the Monetary Union. Along with that, the authors scrutinize the EAC economic successes. Taking into account extensive factual material present, the authors conclude that the EAC institutional decisions have a double effect: on the one hand, these tools foster trade and investment interaction within the association, and on the other hand, they deepen the intrinsic asymmetry in the association functioning and encourage multilevel integration.Materials and methods. The authors used comparative analysis of profile economic data, which allowed to identify the role of individual countries in economic processes within the EAC, as well as the basic methods of scientific knowledge: analysis, synthesis, generalizations and comparative analysis.Literature on the topic of the study, official documents of the East African Community and statistics published by the EAC bodies and “The Observatory of Economic Complexity” were also used in the study.Results of the study. The further development of economic integration within the East African Community is accompanied by a steady, though not equally rapid, growth in trade and investment cooperation. To date, the EAC is facing an obvious slowdown in integration processes due to the difficulties on its path to the Monetary Union and scarce opportunities for the new members to actively join the EAC institutional structure. As a result, the EAC is unofficially divided into two groups of countries with different degrees of readiness to deepen integration.Discussion and Conclusion. The study found that East African integration has shown strong positive results despite the incomplete inclusion of new members, overlapping membership, trade wars and other challenges. As the association evolves, a multispeed and multi-tiered integration scheme becomes increasingly relevant for the EAC it is unlikely that the new members will be able to join the Customs Union anytime soon, let alone the more institutionally complex stages.
Legal Aspects of Flexible Integration: the Potential of the EAEU
Authors: Evdokimov M. A. , Amiraslanov R. R. 
Published: August 2024

Introduction. The article discusses approaches to the application of flexible integration approaches in the Eurasian Economic Union (the EAEU), taking into account the experience of law enforcement of these approaches in the European Union (the EU). The authors trace the history of the evolution of legal regulation in the context of flexible integration of the EU in a comparative legal aspect with the regulation of the EAEU. Within the framework of the study, the authors identify the main ways of applying flexible integration within the framework of the EAEU law, paying special attention to the role of national regulation and relevant organizational and legal mechanisms that can be applied to achieve the goals provided for by the treaty that established the EAEU.Materials and methods. In the course of writing the work, a set of general scientific, formal-logical methods (including methods of cognition, description, analysis, induction, deduction, comparison, analogy, systematization, modeling) and special methods (formal-legal, historical, comparative-legal, structural-legal methods; content analysis method, etc.) were used.Results of the study. An analysis of the legislation of the EU and the EAEU revealed a diversity of approaches to the possibility of implementing flexible integration mechanisms. On the one hand, the EU, having a longer history of the development of legal regulation of integration processes, has instrumentsof flexible integration enshrined in acts of primary law (for example, the mechanism of advanced cooperation). On the other hand, the absence of a similar base in the EAEU legal system is compensated by other mechanisms of the EAEU law.Discussion and conclusions. The study showed that flexible integration mechanisms form an important basis for the development of integration in the EU and the EAEU. Despite the lack of uniformity of organizational and legal mechanisms, the target value remains similar in terms of the formation of supranational regulation through unification and harmonization methods. The EAEU, being a promising association, has great opportunities and areas for applying flexible integration.

Ne Bis In Idem Principle: Current Problems of Implementation in International Criminal Law
Authors: Skuratova A. Yu. 
Published: August 2024

Introduction. The individual criminal liability is characterized by several principles that clarify its international legal content. In this article, the author focuses on the principle of prohibiting the repeated prosecution of a person for the same crime (ne bis in idem principle). It seems appropriate to consider not only the history of fixing this principle in the international law, but also the features of its content, legal nature, as well as to identify the problems arising along the enforcement practice. The issue of the risk of repeated prosecution of the individual for the same crime gets a great importance considering the international criminal justice institutions operating alongside national judicial systems.Materials and methods. The study is relied on the following general scientific and special methods of knowledge: historical, legal, comparative legal, the method of logical and structural analysis, systemic approach.Research results. The analysis of the international law, academic research and enforcement practice made possible to identify some differences in the ne bis in idem principle as formulated in the acts of ad hoc international criminal tribunals and in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The problems of applying of the ne bis in idem principle in the practice of the ICC in Katanga were identified, specifically in the Court’s interpretation of Art. 108 of the Rome Statute, which allows us to conclude that this principle has been violated.Discussion and conclusion. An analysis of the ne bis in idem principle leads us to conclusion that its sine qua non character is applicable only to the national jurisdiction, but not to the jurisdiction of another state as well as it doesn’t automatically cover the decisions made by foreign judicial authorities. As for international criminal justice, here the principle of ne bis in idem plays a greater role as a regulator (pointsman), determining the choice of the jurisdiction rather than as a guarantee of the rights of the accused.
