Social Entrepreneurship In The New Economy Among The Younger Generation
Authors: Achmad Saiful Ulum  , Imelda Sitinjak  , Didik Setiawan  
Published: January 2024

Purpose: This essay aims to reconstruct young people's understanding of and attitude towards social entrepreneurship as a field of endeavour critical to developing crucial competencies in the New Economy. The study also aims to describe young people's perceptions of their willingness to participate in society and the current economy as agents.
Design/methodology/approach: a diagnostic study (based on a so-called task catalogue) was carried out with a group of more than 500 students in Indonesian vocational high schools, senior high schools, and private schools, as well as three workshops with students from particular school types.
Findings: According to the study, students are aware of the possibilities of engaging in social activism through broadly construed social entrepreneurship and third sector involvement. It was also proven that they are well cognizant of the opportunities and requirement for action in this regard. The materials that students have discussed transfer into skills required in the New Economy.
Research limitations/implications: A lot of variables that could influence teenage behaviour must be taken into account in modern study. These difficulties will undoubtedly merit consideration throughout the formulation and creation of the research's tools in further in-depth studies.
Practical implications: Young people's social entrepreneurship is constantly evolving, and even though its focus shifts (from shared management activities to civic engagement and social solidarity activities), it always refers to collaborative efforts on the cusp of economic and social reality. Young people's attitude towards carrying out duties that are beneficial to society is also evolving. Young people view them as a chance to address both societal issues and the difficulties posed by the postmodern world's transformations.
Social implications: Young people are more conscious and involved citizens as well as more responsible future members of the New Economy thanks to the competencies they have acquired.
Originality/value: The paper reconstructs the tools, strategies, and perspectives of young people towards the agency opportunities provided by social entrepreneurship. The knowledge that was gathered was examined in light of the project's competency-based competence issues.

Authors: Velásquez Vásquez Carlos 
Published: January 2024

Las infecciones asociadas a la atención de salud IAAS representan un desafío creciente en las Unidades de Neonatología, el hecho de atender a niños cada vez más inmaduros que son especialmente vulnerables a los gérmenes y el uso de procedimientos tecnológicos avanzados, complica la situación y obliga muchas veces al uso inadecuado de antimicrobianos agregando el riesgo de resistencia bacteriana. El estudio busca conocer los esquemas de antimicrobianos utilizados en el servicio de Neonatología de un hospital de tercer nivel de atención mediante un estudio de epidemiológico para observar la prevalencia e incidencia del uso de esquemas terapéuticos antimicrobianos en sus diferentes unidades. Se encontró que el 16.7% de los hospitalizados en UCIN recibían antibiótico, el 11.4% de los hospitalizados en intermedios y el 40% de Cirugía Pediátrica. La combinación de antibióticos más utilizado fue vancomicina con meropenem con un 30.8%. En el estudio de incidencia el 28.6% de pacientes ingresantes al servicio recibieron antibióticos y la combinación más utilizada fue ampicilina con gentamicina con un 50%. Aunque los hallazgos muestran un porcentaje de uso de antibióticos adecuado con adherencia a la guía de manejo institucional es necesario continuar realizando estudios de seguimiento para optimizar su uso.
Encefalitis herpética tipo 1 en Pediatría: reporte de caso
Authors: Noriega Caceres Maria Jesus , Lazo Rivera Edwin 
Published: January 2024

La Encefalitis Herpética es una enfermedad infecciosa severa del sistema nervioso central (SNC); y es causada casi exclusivamente por el Herpes virus simple tipo 1. La sospecha y el tratamiento precoz con Aciclovir mejora el pronóstico, de lo contrario se presenta una mortalidad de hasta 70% y los que sobreviven quedan con graves secuelas (1).
En niños mayores y adolescentes, y debido al compromiso del lóbulo temporal, la encefalitis puede presentarse con fiebre, síntomas psiquiátricos, labilidad emocional, trastorno del movimiento, ataxia, convulsiones, estupor, letargo, coma o cambios neurológicos localizados (p.ej. hemiparesia, defecto del nervio craneal). En casos severos, puede ocurrir estado epiléptico, edema cerebral, síndrome de secreción inadecuada de hormona antidiurética (SIADH) y/o insuficiencia cardiorrespiratoria (2).
Las secuelas entre los sobrevivientes son significativas y dependen de la edad y del estado neurológico del paciente en el momento del diagnóstico (3).
El estándar de oro para establecer el diagnóstico es la detección del ADN del virus del herpes simple en el líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR) mediante la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR), del líquido obtenido tras la punción lumbar (4).
A propósito, se presenta un caso de encefalitis herpética en un escolar; quién acude por presentación aguda de cefalea intensa, fiebre, vómitos, convulsiones y pérdida de conciencia; con confirmación de virus Herpes Simple en el Filmaray de LCR y porterior respuesta favorable a tratamiento antiviral y sobrevida, pero con lesión extensa de lóbulo temporal.

Published: January 2024

Preserving the sperm of stallions with significant genetic worth is a widely accepted procedure. Thus, the species' typical reproductive behaviour is altered to facilitate the retrieval of sperm for the use of assisted reproductive biotechnologies, like artificial insemination and cryopreservation of sperm. As the Marwari horse breed is a native breed of our country, the present experiment was designed to define the basic semen parameters of Marwari stallions. The experiment was conducted on six healthy Marwari horses aged between 50 and 140 months for three weeks with a semen collection frequency of twice a week. A total of thirty-six semen samples (six from each horse) were collected using an artificial vagina. Following a macroscopic examination, fresh semen samples underwent a microscopic evaluation. The appearance of fresh semen was milky white or creamy white and the consistency was thin to thick. Fresh seminal pH was 7.54±0.03. Total ejaculated semen volume, gel volume and gel-free semen volume were 67.22±5.77 ml, 14.08±1.98 ml and 53.14±4.16 ml, respectively. Progressive sperm motility of sperm was 78.99±0.65%. Sperm concentration was 195.50±5.67 million/ml. Viability and total morphological abnormalities of sperm were 85.82±0.48% and 4.42±0.23%, respectively. Plasma membrane integrity (HOST), acrosome integrity and DNA integrity of sperm were 53.65±0.85%, 87.36±0.36% and 95.83±0.24%, respectively. A significant difference was observed among Marwari stallions for semen volume (total ejaculated, gel and gel-free) (P<0.05), progressive motility (P<0.05), viability (P<0.05), concentration (P<0.05), plasma membrane integrity (HOST) (P<0.05), acrosome integrity (P<0.05), and DNA integrity (P<0.05) of sperm. Non-significant difference was observed for seminal pH (P>0.05) and total sperm morphological abnormalities (P>0.05).
Compression into two‐component PLS factorizations
Authors: Ergon Rolf 
Published: August 2003

AbstractPartial least squares regression (PLSR) often requires more than two components also in the case of a scalar response variable. As shown in papers on orthogonal signal correction (OSC), it is possible to reduce the number of components, resulting in easier data interpretation. In this paper it is shown how all scalar response PLSR models can be reduced to two‐component models with the same structure and giving exactly the same estimator as the original model using many components. This is done by use of a direct and very simple algorithm based on a two‐dimensional subspace in the loading weight space. The resulting model may be transformed into different realizations for different purposes, e.g. latent variable profile estimation, process monitoring, fault detection, etc., as discussed in the paper.

CONFLICTALK: An instrument for measuring youth and adolescent conflict management message styles
Authors: Kimsey William D. , Fuller Rex M. 
Published: September 2003

AbstractAn instrument for assessing youth and adolescent conflict management message styles is presented. The CONFLICTALK instrument is intended as a tool for
training in school‐based peer mediator–conflict manager programs. Data collected from elementary, middle, and high school grades indicate
that the scales used in CONFLICTALK measure typical responses to interpersonal and group conflict. Construct validity, using factor analysis, suggests
that CONFLICTALK discriminates three conflict styles: (1) adversarial, (2) collaborative, and (3) avoidance across
elementary and middle school levels. Conflict message wording for high school students appears less reliable.

AbstractThis research investigates the impact of conflict resolution education infused into language arts, math, and science curricula on middle school
students' perceptions of classroom climate. The pretest, posttest field experiment compared master teachers, novice teachers, and control
classes over a yearlong period of intervention. Results give strong evidence for the positive impact of infused conflict education.
Early recognition of newborn goat kids by their mother: I. Nonolfactory discrimination
Authors: Poindron Pascal , Gilling Gabriella , Hernandez Horacio , Serafin Norma , Terrazas Angélica 
Published: August 2003

AbstractMother sheep and goats develop an early bond with their neonate on the basis of olfactory recognition. We investigated whether goats were also able to show early (<24 hr postpartum) nonolfactory discrimination of their kids, as already reported in sheep. In a first experiment, we found that goats are not able to recognize their kid at 1 m away on the basis of olfactory cues alone. By contrast, they showed a significant preference for their own kid in a two‐choice test as early as 4 hr postpartum, and prepartum maternal anosmia did not impede the ability of mothers to show discrimination. We conclude that goats, like sheep, are fully able to discriminate their neonate without the help of olfactory cues very early after parturition. The difference in the early spatial mother–young relationship between the two species due to the different behavior of the young (kids = hiders, lambs = followers), is not associated with marked differences in the dynamics or mechanisms controlling the development of recognition of the neonate by its mother. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Modification of bitter taste in children
Authors: Mennella Julie A. , Pepino M. Yanina , Beauchamp Gary K. 
Published: August 2003

AbstractThe palatability of oral medications, many of which are quite bitter, plays an important role in achieving compliance in pediatric patients. We tested the hypothesis that the addition of a sodium salt to some, but not all, bitter tasting liquids enhances acceptance and reduces the perceived bitterness in 7‐ to 10‐year‐old children and their mothers. For both children and adults, sodium gluconate significantly suppressed the perceived bitterness and enhanced the acceptance of urea and caffeine whereas the reverse was true for another bitter stimulus, Tetralone. Because children preferred salted solutions more than did adults, these data suggest that the use of sodium salts may be an especially effective strategy for reducing the bitterness of some medicines and facilitating compliance among pediatric populations. However, based on sodium's differential ability to inhibit bitterness, as has been shown here with children and adults, clearly each drug of interest must be evaluated separately. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On SETAR non‐linearity and forecasting
Authors: Clements Michael P. , Franses Philip Hans , Smith Jeremy , van Dijk Dick 
Published: August 2003

AbstractWe compare linear autoregressive (AR) models and self‐exciting threshold autoregressive (SETAR) models in terms of their point forecast performance, and their ability to characterize the uncertainty surrounding those forecasts, i.e. interval or density forecasts. A two‐regime SETAR process is used as the data‐generating process in an extensive set of Monte Carlo simulations, and we consider the discriminatory power of recently developed methods of forecast evaluation for different degrees of non‐linearity. We find that the interval and density evaluation methods are unlikely to show the linear model to be deficient on samples of the size typical for macroeconomic data. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Human and climatic impact on late Quaternary deposition in the Sparta Basin Piedmont: Evidence from alluvial fan systems
Authors: Pope Richard J. J. , Wilkinson Keith N. , Millington Andrew C. 
Published: September 2003

AbstractThe evolution of four alluvial fans in the Evrotas Valley, southern Greece, was examined using a combination of geomorphological and sedimentological techniques. Source material for the fans is derived largely from the Taygetos Mountains, and thus the fan deposits provide proxy evidence for erosion of upland landscapes. Stratigraphic sequences exposed in the fanhead trenches suggest a progressive change in depositional style down‐fan. Within the St. Johns, North Anogia, and North Xilocambi fans, debris flow deposits are gradually replaced by gravel‐dominated hyperconcentrated flow deposits and then fine‐grained hyperconcentrated flow deposits. Within the Kalivia Sokas fan, gravel‐dominated hyperconcentrated flow deposits give way to fine‐grained hyperconcentrated flow deposits, and finally to fluvial gravels. Mineral magnetic studies combined with thermoluminescence dating suggest that sedimentation also occurred over a similar time scale. Deposition cycles during the late Pleistocene appear to be climatically driven, with proximal and medial fan segments developing during stadial phases of the Riss/Würm and Würm, respectively. Distal segments aggraded during the Holocene. During interstadial episodes of the late Pleistocene, fan entrenchment occurred. Holocene accretion is likely to be related to human activity and appears to be concentrated in the early/middle Helladic and the Hellenistic periods, when population levels, indicated by increased numbers of archaeological sites, were rising. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
IL‐18 is produced by prostate cancer cells and secreted in response to interferons

Published: August 2003

AbstractMurine models have shown that IL‐18 has antiangiogenic and antitumor effects, but little is known about IL‐18 production in human tumors. We investigated IL‐18 expression in clinically localized prostate cancers by immunohistochemistry and showed that 75% of the prostate cancers studied (27/36 cases) presented with tumor cells producing IL‐18. Prostate tumor cell lines PC‐3, DU 145 and LNCaP synthesized the immature form of IL‐18 (p24). IFN‐γ produced in prostate cancers induced caspase‐1 mRNA and IL‐18 secretion of tumor cell lines, which was inhibited by the cell‐permeable Tyr‐Val‐Ala‐Asp‐aldehyde caspase‐1 inhibitor (YVAD‐CHO). Interestingly, IFN‐α also induced IL‐18 secretion of the poorly differentiated cell line PC‐3. PC‐3 and DU 145, but not the well‐differentiated cell line LNCaP, expressed IL‐18Rα (IL‐1Rrp) protein and transcripts for IL‐18Rβ (AcPL). Exogenous IL‐18 increased mitochondrial activity of both cell lines evaluated by the tetrazolium (MTT) assay but did not influence their proliferation. This indicated that prostate tumor cells could secrete IL‐18 in response to IFN‐γ in the tumor microenvironment and that IL‐18 could act as a autocrine/paracrine factor for the tumor. In the cohort of patients studied, IL‐18 expression in prostate cancers (with up to 10% of tumor cells stained) was associated with a favorable outcome and equally predictive as pathologic stage on multivariate analysis (log rank test, p = 0.02). Tumor IL‐18 production is a novel physiopathologic feature of prostate cancer and appears to be a favorable event in the course of the disease. Modulation of IL‐18 production by interferons could have a beneficial clinical effect, which deserves further investigation. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Prevalence and anatomical distribution of naevi in young Queensland children

Published: August 2003

AbstractSunlight is the principal environmental cause of melanoma and has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of melanocytic naevi. Epidemiological evidence indicates that childhood is a period during which melanocytes are susceptible to the effects of sunlight, yet little is known about the development of naevi in infancy. We conducted a survey of child‐care centres to document the prevalence and anatomical distribution of melanocytic naevi among 193 young children aged 1–3 years in Brisbane, Australia (latitude 27°S). Naevi were counted on all skin surfaces except for the scalp, buttocks and genitalia. Overall, almost 90% of children in the study sample had at least 1 naevus of any size, and more than 30% of children had 10 or more naevi. Total naevus counts ranged from 0 to 45 and were strongly determined by age. When taken together, naevus densities were highest on exposed body sites such as the face and limbs; however the density of large naevi (≥ 5 mm) was significantly higher on the trunk than on the face, neck and ears. These data support the concept that melanocytic neoplasia commences early in life and that naevus evolution is influenced by the anatomical site of the target cell. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Helicobacter pyloriinfection and gastric cancer: Facing the enigmas
Authors: Lunet Nuno , Barros Henrique 
Published: August 2003

AbstractAt an individual levelHelicobacter pyloriwas associated with the occurrence of gastric cancer but in some African and Asian countries its prevalence runs with low gastric cancer rates, the so‐called African and Asian enigmas. We assessed whether the association between gastric cancer andH. pyloriprevalence at an area level is modified by the level of exposure to fruits and vegetables, alcohol or tobacco. Regression models were fitted to data from 58 countries using as dependent variable log transformed gastric cancer rates and as independent covariables theH. pyloriprevalence, fruits and vegetables consumption, cigarette smoking, alcohol intake and interaction terms. The levels of alcohol consumption or cigarette smoking modified the association between gastric cancer andH. pyloriinfection. Models includingH. pyloriprevalence, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking and the interaction termsH. pylori× alcohol orH. pylori× tobacco were used to compute gastric cancer incidence multiplying regression coefficients by aH. pyloriprevalence of 85% (the approximate median in African countries) and the median figures observed in each continent for alcohol and tobacco availability. The expected gastric cancer incidence per 100,000 would be 5.7 assuming the alcohol and tobacco availability in African countries, 7.0 in Asia and Oceania, 16.0 in America and 26.0 in Europe. The interaction betweenH. pyloriand cigarette or alcohol consumption may contribute to further explain the international variation in gastric cancer and the so‐called African and Asian enigmas. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Published: August 2003

AbstractAlthough testicular cancer is a relatively rare lesion, accounting for only 1.1% of all malignant neoplasms in males in Canada, it is the most common cancer among Canadian men 20–45 years of age. Knowledge of the causes of testicular cancer risk in general, and more specifically, its association with diet, remain limited. Data from 601 cases of testicular cancer and 744 population‐based controls collected in 8 of the 10 Canadian provinces between 1994–97 were used to explore the relationship between diet and testicular cancer risk. We systematically examined 17 food groups, 15 nutrients and 4 individual foods based on data collected through a 69‐item food‐frequency questionnaire. Our results suggest that high dairy product intake, in particular high intake of cheese (odds ratio [OR] = 1.87; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22–2.86; p‐trend < 0.001), is associated with an elevated risk of testicular cancer in Canadian males. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
