Causalidad probabilística en las acciones medicas como sustento de la jurisprudencia democrática

Se considera la democracia como amplia serie de relaciones basadas en la vigencia de los derechos humanos. En consecuencia, supeditar las acciones médicas a la dignidad que contiene la vida, significa promover encuentros plurales y justos. En tanto, la investigación tiene el propósito de analizar la causalidad probabilística como sustento de la jurisprudencia democrática, con estudios de caso donde se consideran eventos fácticos con la finalidad de impulsar las reflexiones que justifican los hallazgos y las discusiones. Concluye que las acciones jurídicas al vigilar y controlar las prácticas de salud, al atender los límites de la causalidad probabilística, benefician la manifestación de coexistencias habitables al ser equitativas frente a la coyuntura actual de salud y la aparición de nuevos tipos de daños donde muchas veces la difícil prueba de la relación causal lleva a que se frustren las demandas, pues, en muchos casos, ni siquiera se puede recurrir a la regla de la causalidad adecuada.Campus Lima Nort

Influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on biological control of coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix Berk. & Broome)

Inoculating plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) protects host plants against biotic stressors such as diseases. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the biological control of coffee leaf rust (CLR) infections. The research involved two varieties of coffee (Caturra and Pache) and three inocula of AMF: Moyobamba (Acaulospora mellea, Acaulospora sp.1, Glomus geosporum, Glomus sp.1, andGlomus sp.2), El Dorado (Acaulospora rugosa, Acaulospora spinosissima, Acaulospora lacunosa, Glomus sinuosum andAmbispora appendicula) and Huallaga (Acaulospora mellea, Acaulospora sp.1, Acaulospora sp.2, Glomus macrocarpum and Glomus sp.2), in addition to a control treatment without application of AMF (non-AMF). Inoculation of vegetatively propagated coffee plants with AMF was observed to induce tolerance to CLR. The incidence of CLR in non-AMF coffee plants was 43.7 %, while in the coffee plants subjected to the inocula Moyobamba, El Dorado and Huallaga, the incidences were 22.1, 22.7 and 13.2 %, respectively. Likewise, the severity in non-AMF coffee plants was 34.8 %, while in the coffee plants subjected to the three kinds of inocula, the severities were 21.1, 20.4 and 12.0 %, respectively. Thus, mycorrhizal inoculation of coffee plants at the nursery stage reduces the negative effect of CLR infection after the plants are taken to field conditions, representing a sustainable option for their biological control.Campus Lima Centr

Virtual education has generated consequences at the visual level of people during the coronavirus pandemic since spending more time on the computer, it compromises the eye health of the person causing long-term visual problems, so its research objective is to determine the computer-related ophthalmic syndrome in teachers at a university of the province of Lima. It is a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive, and cross-sectional study, with a total population of sixty-three teachers who answered a digital survey with socio-demographic data and the Computer Vision Syndrome Questionnaire (CVS-Q) instrument. In the results, we can observe the results of the computerized ophthalmic syndrome in teachers at a university in the province of Lima, where 51 (81%) of the teachers do not present computer vision syndrome, and 12 (19%) present computer vision syndrome. In conclusion, the population conducting virtual education should be educated as well as students about prevention measures for computer ophthalmic syndrome and its consequences.Campus Lima Nort

The impact of risk-taking and creativity stimuli in education towards innovation: A systematic review and research agenda

Academic research on educational stimuli of risk-taking and creativity to foster innovation can contribute to overcome the challenges faced by organizations in the marketplace. To explore the contributions provided in this field, this study developed a bibliometric and systematic review on academic production in the domain of creativity, risk-taking and innovation through an educa- tional perspective. The bibliographical databases adopted were Web of Science and Scopus and outcomes were analysed using the Bibliometrix tool in R software. Research findings point to three main clusters of academic production: (i) Tools and techniques to boost creativity; (ii) Educational interventions towards innovativeness; and (iii) Antecedents of entrepreneurial ac- tivity. This study pictures entrepreneurial education as a field that is still in its infancy and, thus, provide opportunities for research and education policies and programs design. It was revealed that there are two relevant fields that can be envisaged as motor themes for policies and programs design: (i) “social innovation, design education, and design thinking” and (ii) “education, design, and design process”. Both fields point to the dominance of multidisciplinary approaches and design as a central vehicle to creativity, risk-taking, and innovation diffusion.Campus Lima Centr

Factors associated with symptoms of depression among people with obesity: analysis of a 3-year-Peruvian national survey

Introduction: Obesity and depression contribute to the global burden of economic cost, morbidity, and mortality. Nevertheless, not all people with obesity develop depression. Objective: To determine the factors associated with depressive symptoms among people aged 15 or older with obesity from the National Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES in Spanish 2019–2021). Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study. The outcome of interest was the presence of depressive symptoms, assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Crude (cPR) and adjusted (aPR) prevalence ratios were estimated using GLM Poisson distribution with robust variance estimates. Results: The prevalence of depression symptoms was 6.97%. In the multivariate analysis, a statistically significant association was found between depressive symptoms and female sex (PRa: 2.59; 95% CI 1.95–3.43); mountain region (PRa: 1.51; 95% CI 1.18–1.92); wealth index poor (PRa: 1.37; 95% CI 1.05–1.79, medium (PRa: 1.49; 95% CI 1.11–2.02), and rich (PRa: 1.65; 95% CI 1.21–2.26); daily tobacco use (PRa: 2.05, 95% CI 1.09–3.87); physical disability (PRa: 1.96, 95% CI 1.07–3.57); and a history of arterial hypertension (PRa: 2.05; 95% CI 1.63–2.55). Conclusion: There are several sociodemographic factors (such as being female and living in the Andean region) and individual factors (daily use of tobacco and history of hypertension) associated with depressive symptoms in Peruvian inhabitants aged 15 or older with obesity. In this study, the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with an increase in depressive symptoms.Campus Lima Nort

Edge device for movement pattern classification using neural network algorithms

Portable electronic systems allow the analysis and monitoring of continuous time signals, such as human activity, integrating deep learning techniques with cloud computing, causing network traffic and high energy consumption. In addition, the use of algorithms based on neural networks are a very widespread solution in these applications, but they have a high computational cost, not suitable for edge devices. In this context, solutions are created that bring data analysis closer to the edge of the network, so in this paper models adapted to an edge device for the recognition of human activity are evaluated, considering characteristics such as inference time, memory, and precision. Two categories of models based on deep and convolutional neural networks are developed by implementing them in C language and comparing with the TensorFlow Lite platform. The results show that the implementations with libraries have a better accuracy result of 76% using principal component analysis inputs, obtaining an execution time of 9ms. Therefore, when evaluating the models, we must not only consider their accuracy but also the execution time and memory on the device.Campus Lima Centr

Use of tangerine waste as fuel for the generation of electric current

Fruit waste has increased exponentially worldwide, within which tangerine is one of those that generates a greater amount of organic waste, which is currently not fully used. On the other hand, microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are presented as an opportunity to take advantage of organic waste to generate electricity, which is why the main objective of this research is to generate bioelectricity using tangerine waste as a substrate in microbial fuel cells using zinc and copper electrodes. It was possible to generate current and voltage peaks of 1.43973 ± 0.05568 mA and 1.191 ± 0.035 V on days eighteen and seventeen, respectively, operating with an optimum pH of 4.78 ± 0.46 and with electrical conductivity of the substrate of 140.07 ± 3.51 mS/cm, while the Brix degrees gradually decreased until the last day. The internal resistance determined was 65.378 ± 1.967 Ω, while the maximum power density was 475.32 ± 24.56 mW/cm2 at a current density of 5.539 A/cm2 with a peak voltage of 1024.12 ± 25.16 mV. The bacterium (Serratia fonticola) and yeasts (Rhodotorula mucilaginosa) were identified in the substrate with an identity of 99.57 and 99.50%, respectively. Finally, the cells were connected in series, managing to generate 3.15 V, which allowed the turning on of a red LED light.Campus Trujill

Exploring the perception and sensory acceptance of a Peruvian purple maize breakfast cereal by Brazilian consumers

This study aimed to explore the perception and sensory acceptance of Purple Maize (PM) breakfast cereals by a Brazilian panel. The extrudates were elaborated using 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% PM in a commercial yellow corn base. A total of 117 consumers evaluated samples through an acceptability test (nine-point hedonic scale) followed by CATA questions (35 descriptive terms) and a market research questionnaire. The cereals formulated with 50% and 75% PM had the best scores (6) in color, aroma, texture, and overall liking during the acceptability test. Based on the penalty-lift analysis, Brazilian consumers' most important drivers of preference were the attractive color, crispy texture, and the natural and innovative purple color. In contrast, hard texture and brown color drivers negatively impacted the scores. In the market research, consumers indicated that they could eat the product both as a breakfast cereal and as a snack during the day; Likewise, they highlighted the possible health benefits, the innovative color, and the use of exotic raw materials as the best characteristics of the product. Therefore, using 50% PM or more allows for obtaining sustainable and nutritious breakfast cereals with characteristics of color, flavor, and texture well accepted by Brazilian consumers.Campus Lima Su

Internal structure of the Work–Family Conflict Questionnaire (WFCQ) in teacher teleworking

The interference between family and work roles has led to the development of scales for their measurement. However, instrumental studies of work–family conflict have not been conducted in the context of teacher teleworking during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, the objectives of this study were set to obtain evidence of the internal structure and fairness of the Blanch and Aluja Work–Family Conflict Questionnaire, as well as its association with job satisfaction and other sociodemographic variables. A total of 235 Peruvian school teachers between the ages of 24 and 72 years (M = 43.79 and SD = 9.67) responded to the scale using the online form. The analysis employed the non-parametric item response theory modeling (Mokken scaling analysis). The structure of two correlated factors was confirmed: work conflict in the family (WCF) and family conflict in the work (FCW). Both dimensions were invariant with respect to sex group and educational level. The association of both dimensions with job satisfaction was theoretically convergent, and the gender of the teachers slightly moderated this relationship. The reliability was adequate for group research. Finally, the instrument can be useful in the organizational context of teachers who telework.Campus San Juan de Luriganch
