Evidence-Based Malaria Control and Elimination in the Amazon: Input from the International Center of Excellence in Malaria Research Network in Peru and Brazil(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2022-10-01)Malaria remains endemic in 17 countries in the Americas, where 723,000 cases were reported in 2019. The majority (>90%) of the regional malaria burden is found within the Amazon Basin, which includes nine countries and territories in South America. Locally generated evidence is critical to provide information to public health decision makers upon which the design of efficient and regionally directed malaria control and elimination programs can be built. Plasmodium vivax is the predominant malaria parasite in the Amazon Basin. This parasite species appears to be more resilient to malaria control strategies worldwide. Asymptomatic Plasmodiuminfections constitute a potentially infectious reservoir that is typically missed by routine microscopy-based surveillance and often remains untreated. The primary Amazonian malaria vector, Nyssorhynchus (formerly Anopheles) darlingi, has changed its behavior to feed and rest predominantly outdoors, reducing the efficiency of core vector control measures such as indoor residual spraying and distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets. We review public health implications of recent field-based research carried out by the Amazonia International Center of Excellence in Malaria Research in Peru and Brazil. We discuss the relative role of traditional and novel tools and strategies for better malaria control and elimination across the Amazon, including improved diagnostic methods, new anti-relapse medicines, and biological larvicides, and emphasize the need to integrate research and public health policymaking.Acceso abierto

Design of Surfaces in Cylindrical Coordinates Using GeoGebra AR(Springer, Cham, 2023-01-01)This research focuses on the application of the definition of a convex set, which allows us to design and build the graph of bounded surfaces described by cylinders whose directrix curve is a polar curve that intersects with a quadric surface or a function defined in two variables and thus generates bounded surfaces to be constructed using the GeoGebra Suite Calculator. Three cases are presented where the importance of the convex set concept in the parameterization of this type of surface is highlighted. In the first case, we establish the surface that we have called the Flores surface and from this surface, we establish the construction of the Anthurium flower, in the second case we design the flower with 8 petals, and in the third case designed the leaf house modeled by Mareines and Patalano, whose structure is shaped like a flower with 6 petals. The construction of these surfaces is carried out using the GeoGebra Suite Calculator application for mobile devices, which through its GeoGebra AR tool allows these surfaces to be extended to an augmented reality environment and in this way visualize, manipulate, and understand the abstraction of these mathematical objects in a dynamic and interactive.Acceso restringido temporalmente

Virtual tools in distance education: university satisfaction regarding its application as part of teaching strategies(Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science, 2022-11-01)When virtual education was implemented in Peru, the limitations of teachers in technological management were evident. For this reason, the research seeks to analyze the perception of university satisfaction regarding the use of virtual teacher tools as part of teaching strategies, in order to improve virtual teaching-learning, achieving student motivation and facilitating this meaningful learning through the use of virtual tools. The method used according to the investigative approach is qualitative, according to its scope it is descriptive and correlational. During the development of the research, it was identified that the satisfaction regarding the use of virtual tools by the teacher is focused on the critical, constructive and positive attitude towards virtual tools and in the acquittal of students' questions regarding the use of virtual tools. On the other hand, the indicator that is related to low student satisfaction focuses on the low diversity of methodological strategies used for the development of virtual learning sessions. Likewise, the Chi-square test shows the significant relationship between the perception of the teacher's competences regarding the use of virtual tools and the perception of the quality of the teaching offered to students during distance education.Acceso abierto

Evaluation of the learning management system and its relationship in the perception of engineering students(Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science, 2022-12-01)The objective of this study was to identify the results of the learning management system (LMS) functionality, and its relationship in the perception of electronic engineering students. The results serve as a basis for continuous improvement for the higher institution, because these systems are tools that have the purpose of improving the performance and retention of the student in the virtual teaching-learning process. Initially, the reliability of the data collected was determined using Cronbach's Alpha, obtaining a consistency coefficient of 0.868. After processing the data in the SPSS software, using the 5-level Likert scale, it was determined that the indicators that present a better perception are related to the design and ease of navigation. However, 21.4% do not fully agree with the functionality, due to the technical problems presented when downloading the study material. The effect generated by the optimal functionality of the LMS is 70.87% satisfaction in students. The Chi square test validated the cause-effect relationship, with a significance of 0.000, between the functionality of the LMS, on the perception of the students. It determined that the indicators with a greater relationship refer to design, availability (connectivity) and ease of communication and interaction with the teacher and their peers.Acceso abierto

Sentiment analysis through twitter as a mechanism for assessing university satisfaction(Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science, 2022-10-01)Currently, the data generated in the university environment related to the perception of satisfaction is generated through surveys with categorical response questions defined on a Likert scale, with factors already defined to be evaluated, applied once per academic semester, which generates very biased information. This leads us to wonder why this survey is applied only once and why it only asks about some factors. The objective of the article is to demonstrate the feasibility of a proposal to determine the degree of perception of student satisfaction through the use of data science and natural language processing (NLP), supported by the social network twitter, as an element of data collection. As a result of the application of this proposal based on data science, it was possible to determine the level of student satisfaction, being 57.27%, through sentiment analysis using the Python library "NLTK"; Thus, it was also possible to extract texts linked to the relevant factors of teaching performance to achieve student satisfaction, through the term frequency and inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) approach, these being those linked to the use of tools of simulation in the virtual learning process.Acceso abierto

Covariational reasoning of university students in an approach to the concept of definite integral through Riemann sums(Centro de Informacion Tecnologica, 2022-08-01)This study aims to analyze changes in mental actions associated with the covariational reasoning of one pair of students when working on tasks to approach the concept of definite integral through Riemann sums. Mental actions are gathered from student interactions in GeoGebra, from their written reports, and from a semi-structured interview applied to one pair of students from an engineering school in Mexico. Data are analyzed with the theoretical construct of covariational reasoning. The results show an evolution in the way students coordinate simultaneous changes between the variables involved in tasks, from the no coordination level to the chunky continuous covariation level. It is concluded that questions to propose conjectures on the use of rectangles in approximation processes to the area of a region, including their justification, and the process of inferring behaviors from hypothetical situations, reveal behaviors associated with higher levels of covariational reasoning.Acceso abierto

Thermodynamic and optoelectronic properties of GaAs(1−x) Mx(M = Fe,Cu) ternary compounds via first principles(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-06-01)The electronic structure, band structure and optical properties of compounds GaAs(1−x)Mx (M = Fe,Cu), for x=0.25, 0.75, and 1 are discussed via Full-potential linearized augmented plane wave calculations. An increase in absorption in the visible spectrum is observed for all compounds, which, however, is associated with an increasingly metallic character as the metal concentration increases, to the point that compound GaFe is an indirect degenerate semiconductor. The addition of Fe and Cu to the compound decreases its stability, as demonstrated by the formation enthalpies, which become progressively more positive as the content in As is decreased. The calculations were performed using both the PBE and PBEsol exchange correlation potentials and the TB-mBJ method was used to verify the band structure obtained.Acceso restringido temporalmente

Convexity in the Design of Bounded Surfaces and Unconventional Solids Using GeoGebra AR(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022-01-01)The present investigation focuses on the mathematical concept of convexity, as the main tool for the graphic construction of bounded surfaces explicitly and implicitly described, as well as the construction of unconventional solids using GeoGebra. Two cases are presented in which the importance of the concept of convexity is highlighted, in the first situation the convexity is used in the argument of the surface command together with the curves that delimit it to graph a bounded surface, while in the second situation the convexity is evidenced by expressing the coordinates of the surface in parametric form. On the other hand, the 3D graphic view combined with the GeoGebra AR tool allows one to visualize, manipulate, understand and improve the abstraction of mathematical objects that are built in three-dimensional space in a dynamic and friendly environment. These constructions in three-dimensional space that are complex when sketching them with pencil and paper are easier when linking the mathematical definitions with free software such as GeoGebra.Acceso restringido temporalmente

Heavy metals in soils and edible tissues of Lepidium meyenii (maca) and health risk assessment in areas influenced by mining activity in the Central region of Peru(Elsevier Inc., 2021-01-01)Heavy metal contamination of soil and agricultural products is an environmental problem, has an adverse effect on the quality of food crops, and is a danger to food security and public health. The concentration of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) in surface soils and edible hypocotyls tissues of two ecotypes of Lepidium meyenii Walpers (maca) was evaluated in three districts of the Junín province, Peru. In addition, the risk to human health due to exposure to heavy metals from maca consumption was evaluated. Soil samples and maca hypocotyls were collected in areas influenced by mining and metallurgical activity. The mean concentration of Cd (0.32 ± 0.23 mg/kg) and Pb (0.20 ± 0.12 mg/kg) in maca samples exceeded the values established by the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization. The bioconcentration factor was less than 1. The estimated daily intake of each metal was below the oral reference dose. The hazard quotient and hazard index were less than 1, it is unlikely to cause non-cancer adverse health outcome. The cancer risk for As and Cd was higher than the tolerable limit (1 × 10−6) in children and adults. In the district of Ondores, the cancer risk for As in children was higher than the acceptable limit (1 × 10−4). Residents of the Ondores district would be more exposed to As and Cd from consumption of maca hypocotyls. It is very important to carry out continuous monitoring of other toxic metals in different ecotypes of maca (red, black, yellow, purple, creamy white, pink) in order to evaluate the variation in the accumulation of heavy metals and the level of toxicity of each metal between ecotypes.Acceso abierto
