Published: October 2022

Background: HIV infection, a major health problem worldwide, has been reported to be prevalent in patients with acquired anorectal conditions. There is a paucity of prospective studies regarding acquired anorectal conditions in Tanzania. This study describes the HIV seroprevalence, clinical profile and surgical outcomes among patients with acquired anorectal conditions at Bugando Medical Centre (BMC) and Sekou-Toure Referral Regional Hospital (SRRH).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that was conducted among patients with acquired anorectal conditions as seen at BMC and SRRH from January 2019 to June 2019.
Results: A total of 389 patients (M: F ratio = 1.5:1) were studied. The median age at diagnosis was 42 years. Out of 389 patients, 101(26.0%) were HIV positive. Of these, 54(53.5%) were males and 47 (46.5%) were females. Haemorrhoids were the most common acquired anorectal disease accounting for 50.9% of cases. The rate of HIV infection in this study was significantly high in patients with hemorrhoids (p< 0.001), perianal ulcers (p< 0.001), anorectal abscess (p = 0.009), perianal warts (p< 0.001) and rectal prolapse (p = 0.023). A total of 173 (44.5%) patients underwent surgical treatment for acquired anorectal conditions. Hemorrhoidectomy was the most commonly performed surgical procedure in 95(54.9%) patients. Out of 171 patients who underwent surgical treatment and outcomes evaluated, 138 were treated successfully giving an overall success rate of 80.7%. The success rate was significantly influenced by HIV positivity (p = 0.002). Surgical site infection (SSI) was the most common postoperative complication accounting for 25.8% of cases. The rate of SSI was found to be significantly higher in HIV-positive patients than in HIV-negative patients (39.6% vs 18.5%; p-value = 0.001).
Conclusion: HIV infection is prevalent among patients with acquired anorectal conditions in our setting and influences surgical outcomes. We recommend that all patients with acquired anorectal conditions in this region should be screened for HIV infection.

Published: October 2022

BackgroundA breast cancer diagnosis with all that it entails is a highly stressful moment for women. Chemotherapy is one of the main treatments for this type of cancer, and it also brings several side effects and physical changes that often lead to emotional distress and adjustment difficulties. This study aims to analyse the quality of life and psychosocial variables in women with breast cancer submitted to different chemotherapy procedures.Participants and procedureWe used a convenience sample of 50 women with breast cancer submitted to adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Women were interviewed after obtaining their informed consent. The instruments used were: a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Breast, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy–Spiritual Well-Being–12-Item, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, and Brief Resilient Coping Scale.ResultsParticipants demonstrated reasonable levels of all dimensions analysed, except for resilient coping, which was relatively low. Neither treatment significantly improves quality of life or any other psychosocial variable more than the other. Most of the variables were correlated, especially quality of life.ConclusionsThe results show that the choice of treatment according to the most favourable objective criteria (e.g., stage, patients’ char-acteristics) and multidisciplinary work with the integration of a psychologist are vital to achieve good outcomes and the best possible quality of life. Interesting insights were obtained, such as the need for health literacy to make informed decisions and the variation of needs during the cancer course. Future research could use a longitudinal approach and a more repre-sentative sample.
Exploring the relationship between orthorexia nervosa, mindful eating and guilt and shame
Authors: Thorne Jessica , Hussain Misba , Mantzios Michail 
Published: October 2022

BackgroundOrthorexia nervosa (ON) is an under-researched maladaptive eating behaviour which focuses on the quality and purity of food. Mindful eating refers to being aware of what we eat by making conscious food choices. Guilt and shame are negative self-evaluative emotions which have been associated with maladaptive eating behaviours. This study explores the relation-ships between ON, mindful eating, and feelings of guilt and shame.Participants and procedureTwo hundred and fifty-two participants were recruited from various online platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Insta-gram. They were asked to complete self-report questionnaires on ON, mindful eating, and guilt and shame.ResultsThe findings suggested that ON was significantly negatively associated with the mindful eating subscales focused eating, hunger and satiety, and eating with awareness and significantly positively associated with guilt and shame. In addition, guilt was significantly negatively associated with focused eating, whilst both guilt and shame were significantly negatively associ-ated with hunger and satiety and eating with awareness. Further investigation suggested that guilt and shame mediated the association between mindful eating and ON.ConclusionsIt was concluded that guilt and shame could explain the association between mindful eating and ON. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
Does the European Union have the competence to regulate adequate minimum wages?
Authors: Törrönen Elias 
Published: October 2022

The European Commission presented a proposal for a directive on adequate minimum wages in October 2020. According to the explanatory memorandum of the proposal, the directive aims to, for example to prevent in-work poverty, reduce pay differentials, and promote social cohesion. The proposal is based on Article 153(1)b of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU). Legal basis of the proposed directive has raised criticism regarding the competence of the European Union. According to Article 153(1)b TFEU the Union shall support and complement the activities of the Member States, among other fields, in working conditions. The criticism is aimed specifically at paragraph 5 of the Article 153 TFEU. According to Article 153(5) TFEU, the provisions of this Article shall not apply to wages.
This paper clears the boundaries of the European Union’s competence in the light of Article 153 regarding wages. This paper answers the question, does the Union have the competence to legislate adequate minimum wages according to the proposal? The answer to this question is found by methods of interpretation and systematization. The judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Communities and the Court of Justice of the European Union are used to interpret the scope of the Article 153(5) TFEU boundaries. In the judgments, the restriction laid out by paragraph 5 is not viewed to exclude the Union's competence categorically to legislate pay.
The legal actions by which the minimum wage was to be regulated are a key factor concerning the Union's competence. The proposal does not aim to set a uniform minimum wage across the EU. Instead, it aims to create guidelines for the Member States to legislate minimum wages in a way that the wage is adequate to secure a fair standard of living in a particular Member State. The paper is concluded by stating that the legislative actions of the proposal are within the competence of the Union if the minimum wages were to be regulated as proposed.
Влияние демографических факторов на финансово-экономические результаты региона (на примере Белгородской области)
Authors: Антонова Марина Вячеславовна 
Published: October 2022

Данная статья посвящена изучению влияния демографического фактора на финансово-экономические результаты функционирования региона. Несмотря на достаточное внимание в научном сообществе к изучению демографического фактора, довольно слабо проработана оценка влияния географического, гендерного и возрастного критериев на финансово-экономические результаты функционирования региона. В рамках данной статьи результаты экономики региона разделены на три уровня, образовавших «пирамиду финансово-экономических результатов региона». Целью исследования является исследование влияния географического, гендерного и возрастного критериев демографического фактора на финансово-экономические результаты региона. Для исследования использовались статистические методы: ряды динамики, метод корреляционного анализа и другие. Исследование проведено по данным Белгородской области за 2011–2020 годы. В результате исследования выявлено, что географический и гендерный критерии не оказывают влияния на показатели «пирамиды финансово-экономических результатов региона», однако между возрастным критерием демографического фактора и результирующими показателями выявлена сильная корреляционная взаимосвязь, которая уменьшается по мере повышения уровня «пирамиды финансово-экономических результатов региона».

Published: October 2022

Las telecomunicaciones actualmente proveen soluciones en múltiples ámbitos y constituyen una de las bases que impulsan a la evolución de la sociedad aportando nuevas tecnologías y permitiendo que se encuentren nuevas soluciones a problemáticas sociales en general. El trabajo propone un sistema de comunicaciones que encuentra su aplicación en el diagnóstico por imágenes médicas, siendo el objetivo del sistema lograr la detección de anomalías en las mamas, con un alto nivel de precisión permitiendo de esta manera que se elaboren diagnósticos en etapas tempranas de un potencial cáncer de mamas.
El sistema es modelado de forma teórica y simulado con la ayuda de cálculos computacionales brindados por la herramienta de programación Matlab®. La solución reúne características de diferentes tecnologías y estándares que fueron combinados para modelar un sistema eficiente que cumpla con los requerimientos y funciones necesarios para constituir una propuesta factible y viable para su futura implementación.
La principal contribución de este trabajo se refleja en los resultados experimentales mediante la aplicación del método FDTD donde se evidencia como un tejido maligno (tumor) refleja en mayor proporción la potencia que incide sobre dicha región, en comparación con el sano compuesto por tejido fibroconectivo, glandular y adiposo. Se destaca también la eficiencia espectral y energética de los sistemas OFDM, características que inciden directamente sobre el grado de calidad del sistema. Por último, se realiza una simulación de la formación de imagen mediante la aplicación de un novedoso método de filtrado espacial bajo el concepto de beamforming.
Los Los procesos de evaluación, acreditación, calidad e innovación en el ámbito de la universidad argentina en la década de 1990
Authors: Jorge Navarro Marcelo Gastón 
Published: October 2022

En las tres últimas décadas, los diversos sistemas de educación superior latinoamericanos han tenido fuertes procesos de fragmentación y diversificación en su oferta y en su organización. La educación superior en el continente, muestra marcadas desigualdades en diversas dimensiones como lo son el acceso y permanencia, la incorporación de nuevos contenidos curriculares, la atención de diversos grupos y sectores sociales históricamente marginados, la formación docente y la incorporación de las tecnologías de información y comunicación, entre otras.
En este contexto se hace necesario pensar el nivel superior desde varias dimensiones que permitan comprender los procesos históricos que marcaron el devenir de las universidades en la región en general, y en Argentina en particular.
El siguiente ensayo pretende analizar algunos aspectos históricos que marcaron la reconfiguración de la educación superior en los 90, principalmente en relación a la incorporación de los procesos de evaluación y acreditación, y la importancia de su vinculación con los conceptos de calidad e innovación en el marco de las transformaciones neoliberales de fines del siglo XX.
Formación docente en educación superior: configuraciones de la didáctica en un profesorado de artes
Authors: Figueroa Norma Cristina 
Published: October 2022

Este ensayo refiere a las configuraciones de la didáctica según campos de formación situada. Desde la posición de profesora de Didáctica General en la formación docente artística, la autora se pregunta: ¿qué se enseña, para qué se enseña y cómo se enseña en la didácticadisciplinar?, ¿cuáles son los puntos de encuentro, desencuentro, relaciones y tensiones en las configuraciones de la didáctica, donde se ponen en juego el saber didáctico, disciplinar y tecnológico? La didáctica es una disciplina que se ocupa de la compleja práctica de la enseñanza. En su constitución se reconocen aportes fundacionales de la psicología, el currículum y múltiples disciplinas de diversos campos de conocimiento, con las que se relaciona y se tensiona.En la práctica de la enseñanza de la didáctica emergen actuaciones que develan el pensar y el sentir de posturas dicotómicas entre los campos de formación general y específica. Ponerlas en diálogo constructivo es el desafío hacia una didáctica de la diversidad que sume al campo de la práctica profesionalizante.
