Aproximación a la limpieza de la Plaza Mayor de la Ciudad de los Reyes en los siglos XVII y XVIII
Authors: Rivasplata Paula Ermila 
Published: June 2023

Este trabajo busca conocer las peripecias para mantener limpia la Plaza Mayor de Lima colonial que era el espacio público más ocupado de la ciudad. Además, una zona de encuentro, de recibimiento y, sobre todo, el mercado más importante de la capital. Muchos tipos de vendedores la ocupaban y estaba zonificado, por ejemplo, los cajones de Ribera rodeaban parte del palacio virreinal, las vivanderas en el centro, los ranchos o barracas frente al portal, almotacenes de ropa vieja frente al cabildo. Un plano de la misma existió, pero no ha llegado a la actualidad. La limpieza de este espacio público fue asumida por el cabildo, los virreyes, algunos vendedores y finalmente por la institución ilustrada de la intendencia de policía, a través de las rentas de los bienes del cabildo, del prorrateo o cuotas entre los responsables de la basura generada que impedía la libre circulación de acequias y a veces de sisas o impuestos. Una licitación para la obtención del arrendamiento de toldos y asientos para las diversas actividades públicas realizadas en la Plaza Mayor tenía entre sus obligaciones la limpieza de la basura generada por los vendedores de la Plaza Mayor.

Published: June 2023

This research aims to identify how organizational compatibility, which represents the independent variable, affects higher performance, which is considered a dependent variable, given the importance of these variables in industrial organizations and their clear impact on their stability, survival, and growth in the light of changing environmental challenges. Where the practical research problem was represented by the weakness of awareness of the importance toward organizational compatibility and its dimensions (organizational loyalty, organizational similarity, affiliation or membership, compatibility with goals, and compatibility with values), which is meant by the individual's compatibility with the organization in which he/she works within, and its impact on high performance with its dimensions (self-directed work teams, effective recruitment, in-depth training, quality of workers, and employee motivation: rewards and incentives). To achieve the research objective, several main and sub-hypotheses have been suggested. Therefore, the research seeks to bring the attention of the leaders’ company toward the importance of research variables. The analytical (descriptive) approach was relied as a research design. The questionnaire served as the fundamental tool employed by the researchers for data collection and it included 52 questions, as the questionnaire was filled out by a sample of workers in the General Company for Textile and Leather Industries / Cotton Factory, with a total of 130 individuals( male and female), the most important research results are the existence of a correlation and impact of organizational compliance on high performance with its five dimensions.

Background: Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer related deaths all over the world. CT guided FNAC of lung mass is an effective modality to diagnose lung cancer.
Objective: Aim of our study was to evaluate the pathological spectrum of diseases in the lesions of the lung through CT guided FNAC.
Materials and Methods: This prospective study was carried out in Eastern Medical College Hospital and a specialized diagnostic center in Cumilla, Bangladesh. Fifty-three (53) patients were selected by convenience sampling. After informed consent CT guided lung FNACs were performed during period of 1 year from July 2021 to June 2022 and cytological diagnoses were made. Reported results and relevant data were recorded in the data sheet and then analyzed by standard statistical method.
Results: Total number of cases was 53 and adequate samples were obtained in 100% cases. Among the adequate samples 39 (73.58%) were malignant and 14 (26.42%) were benign or nonmalignant lesions. Among the benign lesions, pulmonary TB cases were most common (8 cases, 57.14%) followed by lung abscess (2 cases, 14.29%). Adenocarcinoma (18 cases, 46.15%) was the most common type of bronchogenic carcinoma followed by squamous cell carcinoma (17 cases, 43.59%), small cell carcinoma (3 cases, 7.69%), NHL (1 case, 2.56%). In male cases, squamous cell carcinoma (41.03%) was the most common type of bronchogenic carcinoma, followed by adenocarcinoma (30.77%). In female cases, adenocarcinoma was the most common type (15 cases, 38%) of bronchogenic carcinoma, followed by squamous cell carcinoma (2 cases, 56%).
Conclusion: FNAC is a safe method for the evaluation of lung mass and nodules, and it enables sub-classification of bronchogenic carcinoma in most cases. It is also useful for the diagnosis of tuberculous pulmonary nodules.

Analysis Of Investigation Audit Policies On Alleged Formula E Corruption Cases At The Dki Jakarta Provincial Government
Authors: Hamdani Hamdani , Fachruzzaman  
Published: June 2023

The case of alleged Formula E corruption in the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta is an interesting phenomenon as an academic study. An interesting part of the handling of alleged corruption cases in the scientific field is the investigative audit between practice and theory, paying attention to government regulations as a positive theory. It is strongly suspected that when the KPK requested an investigative audit it turned out to be not in line with the regulations that govern it. The fact is that in many corruption cases involving the Governor, the KPK has not asked the BPK to carry out an investigative audit to identify suspects. The difference between practice and theory and existing provisions is the material for analysis in this study. Since KPK was born in 2003 until now, it is only at this time that an anomaly was found in the practice of auditing state finances, especially investigative audits. In this regard, the KPK submitted a request for an investigative audit to the BPK before proving that there was an unlawful act.
The results of this study concluded that an investigative audit could not be carried out by the BPK RI on the alleged Formula E corruption case in terms of the existing regulations on the BPK and the KPK. BPK regulations require the KPK to expose cases to show illegal acts, but so far the KPK has not found any. The regulations at the KPK require that at the investigation stage a suspect has been named as the basis for a request to the BPK for the calculation of state financial losses, but the KPK has not been able to do so.

ANALYSIS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT POLICY MODELS IN PREVENTING CORRUPTION IN THE VILLAGE GOVERNMENT SECTOR
Authors: Hariri Achmad , Arifin Samsul 
Published: June 2023

A research problem is related to the number of corruption crimes that occur in a village government sector, especially with the issuance of Law number 6 of 2014 concerning villages (Village Law), in the mandate of the law village governments with the principles of recognition and subsidiarity are given the authority to manage village funds allocation. From the broad authority owned by the village, it has the potential to be misappropriated due to many factors that includes human resources factors of the village apparatus, political factors and also the existence of power relations. The research purpose determined the regional government policy model in an effort to prevent corruption in the village government sector which was a model for local government policies. Therefore, the corruption in the village is increasingly suppressed. While this research method used empirical juridical research methods, the empirical approach sees law as a social, cultural reality or das sein. Since the primary data used were obtained directly from Bangkalan in this research. The result showed that the local governments had the obligation to supervise village governments as article 115 of Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning the villages. It stated that districts / cities have a vital role, namely supervising village governments. Moreover, the minister of home affairs regulation number 113 of 2014 concerning village financial management explained that the government provinces are required to foster and supervise the provision and distribution of village funds, allocation of village funds, and revenue sharing of local taxes and levies from districts/cities. The potential for misappropriation of village government governance is caused by many factors, including human resources of village apparatus, political factors and also the existence of power relations. The policy model of the Bangkalan Regency Regional Government in an effort to reduce the misappropriation of power, especially the criminal act of corruption committed by thevillage apparatus, is still minimal.
Thirty Years of Fiscal Decentralization Research: a Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Aliyuddin Muhammad 
Published: June 2023

Fiscal decentralization has become a trend in countries around the world over the past few decades. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the impact of fiscal decentralization on economic, social, and political aspects. The rapid development of publications on fiscal decentralization makes it difficult to synthesise a complete, streamlined, and relevant body of knowledge. Therefore, this study aims to find out about the latest developments of related research topics in fiscal decentralization. The research method used in this study is bibliometric analysis using the Voswiewer application. The bibliometric techniques used in this research are performance analysis and science mapping. The data source in this study comes from Dimensions.ai. Based on the results of the analysis in this study, it can be seen that research related to fiscal decentralization is mostly carried out in China. The relationship between fiscal decentralization and environmental as well as energy issues is the latest trend in the field of fiscal decentralization research.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: Attempted tracheal replacement efforts thus far have had very little success. Major limiting factors have been the inability to efficiently re-vascularise and mimic the mechanical properties of native tissue. The major objective of this study was to optimise a previously developed collagen-hyaluronic acid scaffold (CHyA-B), which has shown to facilitate the growth of respiratory cells in distinct regions, as a potential tracheal replacement device.Methods: A biodegradable thermoplastic polymer was 3D-printed into different designs and underwent multi-modal mechanical assessment. The 3D-printed constructs were incorporated into the CHyA-B scaffolds and subjected to in vitro and ex vivo vascularisation.Results: The polymeric backbone provided sufficient strength to the CHyA-B scaffold, with yield loads of 1.31–5.17 N/mm and flexural moduli of 0.13–0.26 MPa. Angiogenic growth factor release (VEGF and bFGF) and angiogenic gene upregulation (KDR, TEK-2 and ANG-1) was detected in composite scaffolds and remained sustainable up to 14 days. Confocal microscopy and histological sectioning confirmed the presence of infiltrating blood vessel throughout composite scaffolds both in vitro and ex vivo.Discussion: By addressing both the mechanical and physiological requirements of tracheal scaffolds, this work has begun to pave the way for a new therapeutic option for large tracheal defects.
Purification of lipopeptide biosurfactant extracts obtained from a complex residual food stream using Tricine-SDS-PAGE electrophoresis
Authors: Moldes A. B. , Álvarez-Chaver P. , Vecino X. , Cruz J. M. 
Published: June 2023

Protocols to identify lipopeptide biosurfactant extracts contained in complex residual streams are very important, as fermented agri-food matrices are potential sources of these valuable compounds. For instance, corn steep liquor (CSL), a secondary stream of the corn wet-milling industry, is composed of a mixture of microbial metabolites, produced during the corn steeping process, and other natural metabolites released from corn, that can interfere with the purification and analysis of lipopeptides. Electrophoresis could be an interesting technique for the purification and further characterization of lipopeptide biosurfactant extracts contained in secondary residual streams like CSL, but there is little existing literature about it. It is necessary to consider that lipopeptide biosurfactants, like Surfactin, usually are substances that are poorly soluble in water at acidic or neutral pH, forming micelles what can inhibit their separation by electrophoresis. In this work, two lipopeptide biosurfactant extracts obtained directly from CSL, after liquid–liquid extraction with chloroform or ethyl acetate, were purified by applying a second liquid extraction with ethanol. Following that, ethanolic biosurfactant extracts were subjected to electrophoresis under different conditions. Lipopeptides on Tricine-SDS-PAGE (polyacrylamide gels) were better visualized and identified by fluorescence using SYPRO Ruby dye than using Coomassie blue dye. The matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) analysis of lipopeptide isoforms separated by electrophoresis revealed the presence of masses at 1,044, 1,058, and 1,074 m/z, concluding that Tricine-SDS-PAGE electrophoresis combined with MALDI-TOF-MS could be a useful tool for purifying and identifying lipopeptides in complex matrices.

BackgroundThere is conflicting literature regarding the long-term effect of anthracycline treatment on arterial stiffness. This study assessed local arterial stiffness using ultrafast ultrasound imaging (UUI) in anthracycline treated childhood cancer survivors, at rest and during exercise.Methods20 childhood cancer survivors (mean age 21.02 ± 9.45 years) treated with anthracyclines (mean cumulative dose 200.7 ± 126.80 mg/m2) and 21 healthy controls (mean age 26.00 ± 8.91 years) were included. Participants completed a demographic survey, fasting bloodwork for cardiovascular biomarkers, and performed a submaximal exercise test on a semi-supine bicycle. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured in the left common carotid artery by direct pulse wave imaging using UUI at rest and submaximal exercise. Both PWV at the systolic foot (PWV-SF) and dicrotic notch (PWV-DN) were measured. Central (carotid-femoral) PWV was obtained by applanation tonometry. Carotid measurements were taken by conventional ultrasound. Measures were compared using two-tailed Students t-test or Chi-squared test, as appropriate.ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference (p &gt; 0.05) between childhood cancer survivors and healthy controls in demographic parameters (age, sex, weight, height, BMI), blood biomarkers (total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-c, HDL-c, hs-CRP, fasting glucose, insulin, Hb A1c), cardiovascular parameters (intima media thickness, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, carotid diameters, distensibility) or PWV measured by UUI at rest or at exercise. There was also no difference in the cardiovascular adaptation between rest and exercise in the two groups (p &gt; 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed age (p = 0.024) and LDL-c (p = 0.019) to be significant correlates of PWV-SF in childhood cancer survivors, in line with previously published data.ConclusionWe did not identify a significant impact of anthracycline treatment in young survivors of childhood cancer on local arterial stiffness in the left common carotid artery as measured by UUI.

BackgroundCongenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is a chronic disease that requires lifelong treatment. Patients may face stigmatization, which may affect their quality of life (QoL). Therefore, we assessed the clinical characteristics and QoL of patients with CAH in the Middle East.MethodsThis case-control study included patients with CAH aged &gt;5 years from two tertiary centers (2020–2021). The patients were matched to a healthy control group and were then divided into pediatric and adult groups. Data were collected from their electronic medical records. Additionally, the EQ-5D-5L QoL questionnaire was completed by both the patients and control group to assess five domains (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression).ResultsThe study included 248 patients with CAH (females: 58.8%), with a family history of the condition (57.3%) and/or parental consanguinity (68.1%). The most frequently reported gene defect was CYP21A2, while the most commonly reported symptoms/signs were ambiguous genitalia and obesity. Almost all female patients had received corrective surgery. The questionnaire response rate was 86.3% (n=214/248). The CAH patient group’s mean total QoL score was 85.2 compared with 99.8 in the control. Further, CAH patients had lower QoL scores in all domains compared to those in the control group (p ≤ 0.0001–0.0023). The pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression domains were affected significantly more than the other domains were, with 47.7% and 44.4% participants, respectively, p&lt;0.0001. Additionally, obesity was found to be a predictor of reduced mobility following a logistic regression analysis (p ≤ 0.04, OR (0.18-0.98)).ConclusionPatients with CAH reported lower QoL overall, particularly in the pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression domains. Based on this, we recommend the early involvement of psychologists in a multidisciplinary team approach, pre-marital screening, and the implementation of awareness programs for people diagnosed with CAH in communities with high consanguineous mating.
Predicting morphological and functional variations of benign adrenal incidentalomas in relation to initial characteristics
Authors: Parazzoli Chiara , Favero Vittoria , Aresta Carmen , Morelli Valentina 
Published: June 2023

The follow-up strategy for unresected non-functional adrenal tumors (NFAT) is a major controversial issue in endocrinological clinical practice, as the natural history of adrenal incidentalomas (AI) is partially unknown and a consensus on their adequate management is lacking. In a recent longitudinal study by Ceccato et al., a large cohort of patients with conservatively treated AI were evaluated for possible radiological variations over time and their relationship with autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS). Starting from this paper, we performed a literature review of available longitudinal studies focus on the same issue. Notwithstanding the high variability in the duration of follow-up and in the criteria used to define ACS in the included studies, our findings support the idea that there is a not negligible risk of morphological and functional changes, which may have metabolic implications, especially after 5-10 years of follow-up. Unfortunately, these variations seem to be scarcely predictable. Therefore, it may be risky to interrupt the follow-up in patients with NFAT, in particular in the presence of larger diameter of the adenoma and higher cortisol levels at diagnosis. These results should be considered in defining the optimal management of these patients.
