El impacto de la pandemia Covid 19 en las mujeres adultas mayores informales de los mercados de la provincia de Huancayo
Authors: Linda Soledad Nuñez Inga  
Published: February 2024

El estudio realizado cuenta con el propósito, precisar el efecto que tuvo el covid-19 en las adultas mayores con trabajo informal en los diversos mercados de Huancayo. Es un estudio descriptivo - no experimental en concordancia con la temporalidad que es la transversal. Se obtuvo como muestra 60 féminas adultas mayores con trabajo informal desde los60 a más años, se aplicó una encuesta utilizando la escala de Likert, los análisis de datos y el procesamiento fue realizado mediante el SPSS, por lo que se mostraron resultados que muestran el nivel de impacto que tuvo el COVID - 19. Muestran que
este grupo de mujeres adultas mayores con trabajo informal fueron más afectadas debido a su vulnerabilidad, son más propensas a contagiarse por la peligrosidad del oficio, presentan un bajo nivel de participación en las labores formales del mercado. Las mujeres adultas mayores que laboran, desarrollan en su gran mayoría actividades económicas informales, que deterioran la calidad de vida, por ende, el 70% de este grupo se angustiaron al no realizar ventas de sus productos durante la pandemia, un 80 % tuvo que salir a vender sus productos diariamente, puesto que, era el único ingreso de su hogar, un 75% se contagiaron de COVID - 19, por lo cual, manifiestan que no saben con exactitud si se contagiaron por estar en contacto con un familiar contagiado o fue durante la venta de sus productos en el mercado, un79% menciona que emplearon las mascarillas como método de protección mientras duró la pandemia, un 88% tuvieron permisos de poder vender sus productos durante la pandemia en la Provincia de Huancayo, un 98% no fue víctima de agresión por parte de los agentes municipales, al contrario comentan que recibieron apoyo.
Posteriormente se constató que un porcentaje de mujeres adultas mayores que laboran informalmente permanecen vendiendo los mismos productos desde antes y durante la pandemia mientras otras personas tomaron como una buena oportunidad de poder crecer y así lograr asociarse con otras ambulantes para lograr alquilar un pequeño establecimiento para poder realizar sus ventas y así logrando formalizarse laboralmente.
Blink of innocence: A study of paediatric ocular trauma at a tertiary eye care centre in South India
Authors: Sharat Soumya , Sohail J Mohammed 
Published: February 2024

To assess the prevalence of ocular trauma and extent of visual loss in paediatric patients at a tertiary care eye hospital in South India.A retrospective study was conducted on all children of age group 15 years and younger, of both genders, sustaining ocular injuries and seeking care within the ophthalmology outpatient department of a tertiary eye care hospital. The study spanned for a duration of six months. The demographic profile of the participants was recorded, detailed history was taken, followed by standardised ocular evaluation. Orbital imaging was done where deemed necessary. An eye was considered blind due to trauma if best corrected visual acuity for distance was worse than 3/60 due to trauma. Patients with pre-existing low vision in the affected eye were excluded in the study.50 children were included in the study. The mean age upon initial presentation manifested was 9.8 years. The demographic distribution revealed a predilection for children within the age group of 11 to 15 years, constituting 38% of the sampled populace, with the subsequent demographic tier of 5-10 years encompassing 36%. Noteworthy differentials emerged between rural and urban cohorts, with rural representation at 64% and urban at 36%. The predominant ocular injuries were categorized as 72% closed globe injuries and 18% open globe injuries. Operative interventions were administered to 54% of the cases, while the remaining 46% were subject to conservative therapeutic modalities. Within the subset of closed globe injuries necessitating surgical intervention (36%), specific pathologies included lid tear, canalicular tear, and traumatic cataract.Ocular trauma in paediatric population can lead to permanent blindness and visual handicap. It also affects the social, emotional and psychological development of the child. Most of these injuries can be prevented by supervision of children during play, educating the children, family members and teachers regarding ocular health and hygiene.

Efectos de la resolución del contrato por incumplimiento: restituciones e indemnización por daños en una perspectiva de comparación dentro de la latinidad jurídica
Authors: Nicolussi Andrea , Troncoso María Isabel 
Published: February 2024

El ensayo aborda las restituciones derivadas de la resolución por incumplimiento en un horizonte comparativo dentro de la latinidad jurídica. En particular, se comparan las soluciones aceptadas en el derecho italiano (latinidad jurídica europea), y las de dos ordenamientos latinoamericanos, Colombia y Perú. Desde el punto de vista de la disciplina dedicada a la resolución y sus consecuencias, los códigos italiano y peruano son los más avanzados, mientras que el colombiano, que data del siglo XIX, deja un amplio espacio al desarrollo jurisprudencial de la figura. En cualquier caso, los tres ordenamientos parecen converger en la función de las restituciones como herramienta para devolver a las partes a la situación económica anterior al contrato. Sin embargo, en lo que respecta al fundamento de la función restitutiva, persisten las incertidumbres entre la repetición de lo indebido y devoluciones específicamente reguladas por la resolución. Incluso el vínculo recíproco entre las restituciones debidas por ambas partes sigue siendo poco profundizado. Finalmente, la coordinación entre restituciones e indemnización de daños y perjuicios en el marco de la resolución parece captada más claramente en la doctrina italiana, a la que la peruana parece más cercana. La indemnización de daños y perjuicios tiene que ser compatible con el hecho de que la parte cumplida del contrato ya no debe su observancia al mismo, y además de renuncia también a la contraprestación. La indemnización, por tanto, no puede incluir el valor de la prestación incumplida, sino que debe proteger a la parte fiel al contrato en lo que respecta a su interés positivo en el mismo, es decir, en el beneficio que le habría aportado la prestación debida por la parte que incumplió.

El aprendizaje activo es un enfoque educativo que implica la participación activa y directa de los estudiantes en su proceso de aprendizaje. El objetivo de la investigación fue analizar el papel del aprendizaje activo en la educación superior como enfoque pedagógico del docente de la Facultad de Contaduría y Administración de la Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua. El método de la investigación fue analítico-sintético, siendo un trabajo de campo con apoyo bibliográfico, con un muestreo aleatorio probabilístico. La variable evaluada fue el aprendizaje activo en la educación superior desde un enfoque pedagógico. Los principales resultados indican que los docentes con mayor antigüedad laboral, utilizan las herramientas de aprendizaje activo, principalmente el trabajo en equipo, aprendizaje basado en problemas, aprendizaje basado en proyectos, así como el aprendizaje en línea y plataformas virtuales. Los docentes de menor edad y menor estabilidad laboral utilizan además el aprendizaje basado en retos, pero dan menor importancia al trabajo en equipo. El sexo, la edad y la modalidad de enseñanza (presencial o virtual) no inciden de manera diferenciada en el uso de las herramientas de aprendizaje activo. Se puede afirmar que, al estar de acuerdo en la implementación de las herramientas de aprendizaje activo, los docentes consideran apropiado este enfoque pedagógico.

Active learning is an educational approach that involves the active and direct participation of students in their learning process. The objective of the research was to analyze the role of active learning in higher education as a pedagogical approach of the faculty members of the Facultad de Contaduría y Administración de la Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua. The research method was analytical-synthetic, involving fieldwork with bibliographic support and using a probabilistic random sampling. The evaluated variable was active learning in higher education from a pedagogical perspective. The main results indicate that teachers with more seniority use active learning tools, mainly teamwork, problem-based learning, project-based learning, as well as online learning and virtual platforms. Younger and contractor teachers also use challenge-based learning, but they give less importance to teamwork. Gender, age, and the mode of teaching (in-person or virtual) do not have a differentiated impact on the use of active learning tools. It can be affirmed that, by agreeing on the implementation of active learning tools, teachers consider this pedagogical approach appropriate.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disease affecting mainly small and major joints. The development for new drugs for the treatment of RAs is constantly underway, while the purposeful synthesis of multi-targeted small molecules can be considered a promising direction for the synthesis of new anti-rheumatic drugs.The aim. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antiresorptive effects of acyl substituted chromone derivatives in experimental animal model for rheumatoid arthritis.Materials and methods. RА was modeled in rats by injection of a suspension of human type II collagen and a complete Freunds adjuvant (in a ratio of 1:1) under plantar aponeurosis of the hind limb of the animal. The analyzed substances under ciphers X3A7 and X3A9 at a dose of 20 mg/kg and the reference drug dexamethasone at a dose of 3 mg/kg were administered intraperitoneally for 28 days from the moment of RA modeling. On the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th days of the experiment, the severity of the clinical manifestations of RA was determined. After 28 days, changes in the content of cytokines in the rats blood serum were assessed: tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukins (IL-1, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-12). Changes of myeloperoxidase activity and concentrations of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) of type 2 and 9 were determined in synovial tissues.Results. During the study, it was shown that the use of the tested compounds X3A7 and X3A9, as well as the reference, contributed to a decrease in the severity of clinical manifestations of RA, starting from the 14th day of the experiment. Subsequently, it was demonstrated that in animals treated with dexamethasone, the cytokine content in blood serum decreased in relation to untreated animals: TNF-α – by 57.8% (p <0.05), IL-1 – 64.1% (p <0.05), IL-6 – 59.1% (p <0.05) and IL-12 – 72.3% (p <0.05), with an increase in the level of IL-10 – by 75.4% (p <0.05). The cytokine profile of the blood serum changed similarly when the studied compounds were administered to animals. It worth be noting that against the background of the administration of dexamethasone, X3A7 and X3A9 substances, the activity of myeloperoxidase decreased by 41.7 (p <0.05), 61.7 (p <0.05) and 65.0% (p <0.05), respectively, while the concentration of MMP2 decreased by 24.0 (p <0.05), 38.5 (p <0.05) and 34.4% (p <0.05), respectively, and MMP9 – by 13.5 (p <0.05), 37.9 (p <0.05) and 35.6% (p <0.05).Conclusion. The study showed that the administration of the analyzed chromone derivatives X3A7 and X3A9 suppresses inflammatory reactions and resorptive processes in synovial tissues, which can serve as a basis for their further study as antirheumatic agents.

Dietitians of Canada (DC) was established in 1997 from the Canadian Dietetic Association and the provincial associations. This project is part of a larger program of work to document the recent history of Canadian dietetic practice, including the professional development (PD) initiatives DC has provided since its inception. The aims of the present study are to synthesize a timeline of PD events since 1993, understand the context that led to their development, and understand their impact on the profession. 13 key informants were recruited by email, of which 11 semi-structured interviews were conducted, and 8 participants provided written contributions. Interview transcripts and written contributions were analyzed thematically, and a final timeline of events was developed. Six themes were found: 1) the use of technology in PD tools, e.g. online courses, Learning on Demand; 2) conferences and workshops , e.g. national conference, Coast-to-Coast workshops; 3) initiatives that placed DC as a leader in health and nutrition, e.g. Practice-based Evidence in Nutrition (PEN); 4) informal discussion about emerging issues in dietetics, e.g. PEN Current Issues, Practice Blog; 5) DC actively sought member input to inform PD strategy, e.g. members issues forums; and, 6) DC PD events demonstrated their support for research and dietetic education, e.g. relationship with CFDR, public health online course. Key concerns for the future included: declining DC membership and funding, and dietetics not keeping pace with other professions on PD. The successes and failures of initiatives in this time period can inform the development of DC’s PD strategy for the coming decades.
BKV CEO: If You Have the Skills To Pay the Bills, CCS Is a ‘Tremendous Business’
Authors: Jacobs Trent 
Published: February 2024

Shale gas producer BKV Corp. has made the leap into the US carbon capture and storage (CCS) sector, becoming the latest upstream firm to challenge the idea that only industry giants can make significant moves in this emerging arena.
Founded in 2015 as a privately held subsidiary of Thailand’s coal and energy conglomerate Banpu, BKV and its fewer than 400 employees have quickly built the company into the 17th largest gas producer in the US. In addition to its upstream operations in the Barnett and Marcellus shales, BKV’s business model borrows from its Thai energy roots and includes ownership of two natural gas power plants in Texas.
But the firm is better known within upstream technical circles for its leadership in refracturing horizontal wells in the Barnett where it is the largest operator both in terms of acreage and flowing wells.
No stranger to diversification, BKV is now shifting its focus to CCS—a market anticipated to balloon almost fivefold from $3 billion to over $14 billion by the end of the decade. This growth is being propelled in the US by new legislation offering $85 in tax credits for each ton of CO2 sequestered, effectively turning the greenhouse gas into a valuable commodity.
The company’s inaugural CCS project, in collaboration with Dallas-based EnLink Midstream, launched this past November in Bridgeport, Texas. Called the Barnett Zero Project, BKV and its partner are targeting the sequestration of approximately 210,000 mtpa of CO2e. Hitting that target means potentially generating over $17.8 million in annual tax credits, a sum that offers a swift return on investment for those who can manage costs.
BKV has also established a new business unit called dCarbon Ventures which is leading a separate CCS joint venture in the Barnett play called Cotton Cove. The $17.6-million project, $9 million of which will be put up by BKV, is expected to begin injecting up to 45,000 mtpa by the end of next year. Beyond that, BKV and its subsidiaries have secured rights for a large-scale project spanning 21,000 acres in neighboring Louisiana which would source its emissions from the industrial and petrochemical plants around the New Orleans area.
Steering these ambitious projects is BKV’s CEO, Chris Kalnin, alongside Lauren Read, vice president of the gas company’s dCarbon Ventures. Under their leadership, BKV hopes to achieve net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by next year—decades ahead of most industry reduction targets. The company is not stopping there and is ambitioning to do what most US-based operators have so far refrained from, which is to offset its Scope 3 emissions sometime next decade.
In the following Q&A, Kalnin and Read discuss the motivations behind the Barnett Zero Project, its significance in the context of independent producers, and what it signals about BKV’s broader strategy.
Rig Automation Empowers Well Construction in Ecuador

Published: February 2024

_
This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 216249, “Digital Innovation of Well-Construction Process in Ecuador Through Rig Automation,” by Karen Peña, Kevin Etcheverry, and Hugo Quevedo, SPE, SLB, et al. The paper has not been peer reviewed.

_
Artificial intelligence (AI)-based digital drilling technology was implemented in two mature fields in Ecuador that represent 33% of the country’s oil production. The drilling campaign’s main strategy included the deployment of a novel automation solution on two rigs, resulting in the optimization of the well-construction process. In the complete paper, the authors present the results of implementation of a rig-automation solution applied to 20 wells in 2022.

Scope of the Digital Solution
The authors detail the validation, optimization, and implementation of a drilling software to automate work flows and the installation and commissioning of associated hardware components. The following key indicators and objectives were established:
- Validation of drilling-software work flows
- Achievement of a 75% average in automation control
- Improvement of rate of penetration (ROP) by 5%
- Reduction of pre- and post-connection times by at least 30%
- Real-time tuning of parameters
- Training of all personnel involved in the use of the drilling-software package
- Installation and commission of hardware components

Drilling-Software Implementation
The digital solution is an advanced software system that brings automation capabilities to drilling rigs, analogous to the different levels of automation found in automobiles. By drawing a parallel to car automation, one can better understand the system’s functionality and benefits.
Level 1 consists of task automation, comparable to automatic driving features such as cruise control. In this context, the drilling software takes on the role of automating specific tasks within the drilling process.
Level 2 involves process automation, similar to a car’s ability to autonomously park itself. The digital solution automates selected processes in drilling operations that enable efficient and precise execution.
Level 3 encompasses adaptive automation, akin to a self-driving car that dynamically adapts to its surroundings. The drilling software continuously analyzes the real-time conditions of the wellbore and suggests optimal drilling parameters based on proprietary algorithms that leverage the well-known DeTournay model principle.
The drilling software actively controls four key rig machines: the drawworks, topdrive, automated driller, and mud pumps. The solution adjusts drilling parameters intelligently, optimizing the drilling process and improving overall efficiency and drilling stability.
