Conference or Workshop Item Subjects > Teaching Ibero-american International University > Research > Conferences Cerrado Inglés According to Unicef, in 2019, 33 million children were international migrants. This situation has been intensified due to Covid-19 pandemic. Among the reasons to leave a country, we can find poverty, climate change, economic reasons or the hope of having a better life. Migrant children in school age can face many challenges: language barriers, lack of understanding of social norms, limited resources from the school, and psychosocial issues. These challenges can produce long-lasting psychological and physical effects leading to a halt on the developing of their full potential along their life. So, an early intervention is crucial to boost migrant children’s educational language acquisition and understanding of culture and social norms to their educational achievement. This paper discusses the advantages of mlearning to foster language learning and facilitate a cultural integration by migrant children with the support of translanguaging strategies and intercultural approach. The role of mlearning to foster language learning has been discussed by Azevedo-Gomes & Sartor-Harada (2020) with a mlearning model with four guidelines: the construction of meaning, the interaction between peers, a focus on previous experiences, and formative feedback. Mlearning seeks to integrate learning theories, especially constructivist and behavioral theories to also create collaborative working environments (Crompton, Burke & Gregory, 2017). Despite the fact the design is focused to improve a minority language, the concepts about psycholinguistic factors are similar to migrant children's needs. Furthermore, mlearning allows to involve parents in language instruction and provide flexible education pathways, both considered good policy practices by OECD (2021) to support the lifelong integration of immigrant children. The report examines the role of an intercultural approach with the support of translanguaging strategies. The first one considers the child’s heritage and could help to expand awareness towards both cultures in gamified activities. Plus, translanguaging strategies “leverages the fluid language of learners in ways that deepen their engagement and comprehension of complex content and texts” (García & Vogel, 2017, p.2) and could help children to transfer language competencies to a new language, speeding up their target language learning and fostering their self-esteem by valuing their previous knowledge. The authors base their assumptions on the thesis that the formula translanguaging and intercultural approach can contribute to a positive mixed identity construction. Finally, the authors present their strategy for gamified activities with mlearning support including translanguaging strategies and intercultural approach in order to ease integration and a full educational achievement of migrant children. metadata Azevedo-Gomes, Juliana and Sartor-Harada, Andresa and Cordovés Santiesteban, Alexander Armando and Cordero Gómez, Yoanky mail UNSPECIFIED, UNSPECIFIED, alexander.cordoves@unini.edu.mx, UNSPECIFIED (2021) Translanguaging and intercultural approach: a mlearning proposal to ease inmigrant children's integration.

Conference or Workshop Item Subjects > Engineering Ibero-american International University > Research > Conferences Cerrado Inglés Conventional IP networks connect places at great distances and meet the connectivity needs of their users. To perform each of these operations, each packet must pass through various network devices, which make individual routing decisions that make centralized network management difficult. These networks have been growing both in size and complexity, each day at a higher rate, which has generated a series of difficulties in personalization, integration, security, and optimization of these. As a solution, the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture [1] was created, which promises to be a dynamic, manageable, profitable and adaptable architecture, thus becoming an ideal tool to handle large bandwidths and the development and implementation of customized applications, for different types of needs on communication networks. This document shows a performance analysis between SDN and a conventional IP network configured with the EIGRP and BGP routing protocols, establishing a configuration scenario with physical network equipment and with an SDN emulator called Mininet. The research methodology is based on the guidelines of the Cisco PPDIOO methodology and is developed in the following phases: 1. Elaboration of physical network topology with Cisco equipment, performing experiments with IPv4 and IPv6, measuring variables such as Jitter, Delay and Throughput. 2. Carrying out the same experiments and tests with SDN, in a network topology with similar characteristics to those already mentioned, but with OpenFlow switches. 3. Analysis of results, for which the behavior of jitter, delay and throughput variations of both scenarios is examined to make a series of comparisons (made with statistical analysis) concerning protocol, addressing, packet size among others. Finally, it was obtained as a result that SDN has a lower delay and jitter than the conventional IP network in some cases, as well as a more favorable throughput. metadata Hernandez, Leonel and Jimenez, Genett and Pranolo, Andri and Uc-Rios, Carlos mail UNSPECIFIED, UNSPECIFIED, UNSPECIFIED, carlos.uc@unini.edu.mx (2019) Comparative Performance Analysis Between Software-Defined Networks and Conventional IP Networks.

Detecting hate in diversity: a survey of multilingual code-mixed image and video analysis
The proliferation of damaging content on social media in today’s digital environment has increased the need for efficient hate speech identification systems. A thorough examination of hate speech detection methods in a variety of settings, such as code-mixed, multilingual, visual, audio, and textual scenarios, is presented in this paper. Unlike previous research focusing on single modalities, our study thoroughly examines hate speech identification across multiple forms. We classify the numerous types of hate speech, showing how it appears on different platforms and emphasizing the unique difficulties in multi-modal and multilingual settings. We fill research gaps by assessing a variety of methods, including deep learning, machine learning, and natural language processing, especially for complicated data like code-mixed and cross-lingual text. Additionally, we offer key technique comparisons, suggesting future research avenues that prioritize multi-modal analysis and ethical data handling, while acknowledging its benefits and drawbacks. This study attempts to promote scholarly research and real-world applications on social media platforms by acting as an essential resource for improving hate speech identification across various data sources.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves β-amyloid plaques and tau hyperphosphorylation, driven by oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities exacerbate AD pathology. Olive leaf (OL) extracts, rich in bioactive compounds, offer potential therapeutic benefits. This study aimed to assess the anti-inflammatory, anti-cholinergic, and antioxidant effects of three OL extracts (low, mid, and high bioactive content) in vitro and their protective effects against AD-related proteinopathies in Caenorhabditis elegans models. OL extracts were characterized for phenolic composition, AChE and COX-2 inhibition, as well as antioxidant capacity. Their effects on intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) were tested in C. elegans models expressing human Aβ and tau proteins. Gene expression analyses examined transcription factors (DAF-16, skinhead [SKN]-1) and their targets (superoxide dismutase [SOD]-2, SOD-3, GST-4, and heat shock protein [HSP]-16.2). High-OL extract demonstrated superior AChE and COX-2 inhibition and antioxidant capacity. Low- and high-OL extracts reduced Aβ aggregation, ROS levels, and proteotoxicity via SKN-1/NRF-2 and DAF-16/FOXO pathways, whereas mid-OL showed moderate effects through proteostasis modulation. In tau models, low- and high-OL extracts mitigated mitochondrial ROS levels via SOD-2 but had limited effects on intracellular ROS levels. High-OL extract also increased GST-4 levels, whereas low and mid extracts enhanced GST-4 levels. OL extracts protect against AD-related proteinopathies by modulating oxidative stress, inflammation, and proteostasis. High-OL extract showed the most promise for nutraceutical development due to its robust phenolic profile and activation of key antioxidant pathways. Further research is needed to confirm long-term efficacy.

Garlic is a horticultural product highly valued for its culinary and medicinal attributes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the composition of a garlic hydrophilic extract as well as the influence on redox biology, Alzheimer's Disease (AD) markers and aging, using Caenorhabditis elegans as experimental model. The extract was rich in sulfur compounds, highlighting the presence of other compounds like phenolics, and the antioxidant property was corroborated. Regarding AD markers, the acetylcholinesterase inhibitory capacity was demonstrated in vitro. Although the extract did not modify the amyloid β-induced paralysis degree, it was able to improve, in a dose-dependent manner, some locomotive parameters affected by the hyperphosphorylated tau protein in C. elegans. It could be related to the effect found on GFP-transgenic stains, mainly regarding to the increase in the gene expression of HSP-16.2. Moreover, an initial investigation into the aging process revealed that the extract successfully inhibited the accumulation of intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in aged worms. These results provide valuable insights into the multifaceted impact of garlic extract, particularly in the context of aging and neurodegenerative processes. This study lays a foundation for further research avenues exploring the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying garlic effects and its translation into potential therapeutic interventions for age-related neurodegenerative conditions.

Background In recent years, medical education has increasingly embraced gamification as a method for teaching clinical skills. In Peru, social isolation resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic forced universities and academic institutions to restructure their teaching methods, while there are no reports about the impact of this strategies in Peruvian students. In this study we evaluated the feasibility and patterns of use of a novel video game based didactic activity in undergraduate students from a School of Medicine in Peru. Method We conducted a retrospective pilot study in medical students who used the Full Code Medical Simulation platform. We retrieved scoring data obtained from this platform for selected cases of clinical courses with an appropriate number of users [clinical medicine (CM) I (7 cases), CM II (17 cases), surgery I (6 cases) and surgery II (6 cases)]. cases)]. We also evaluated patterns of use and the association between academic performance and the Full Code scores. Results A total of 590 students were included in the study. We found a direct correlation between the student’s course grade and Full Code score in all courses (CM I: p < 0.001, CM II: p < 0.05, Surgery I: p < 0.05 and Surgery II: p < 0.05). CM II course students who dedicated more time to completing cases received better grades (p < 0.05). The pattern of use of Full code were similar in students regardless their academic performance. In addition, students with higher academic performance were more likely to have higher scores in the platform (p < 0.001). Conclusion The use of gamification in clinical simulation was highly feasible in students of medicine regardless their academic performance. Prospective and interventional studies are needed to assess if the Full Code platform directly affect the learning outcomes.

Novel hybrid transfer neural network for wheat crop growth stages recognition using field images
Wheat is one of the world’s most widely cultivated cereal crops and is a primary food source for a significant portion of the population. Wheat goes through several distinct developmental phases, and accurately identifying these stages is essential for precision farming. Determining wheat growth stages accurately is crucial for increasing the efficiency of agricultural yield in wheat farming. Preliminary research identified obstacles in distinguishing between these stages, negatively impacting crop yields. To address this, this study introduces an innovative approach, MobDenNet, based on data collection and real-time wheat crop stage recognition. The data collection utilized a diverse image dataset covering seven growth phases ‘Crown Root’, ‘Tillering’, ‘Mid Vegetative’, ‘Booting’, ‘Heading’, ‘Anthesis’, and ‘Milking’, comprising 4496 images. The collected image dataset underwent rigorous preprocessing and advanced data augmentation to refine and minimize biases. This study employed deep and transfer learning models, including MobileNetV2, DenseNet-121, NASNet-Large, InceptionV3, and a convolutional neural network (CNN) for performance comparison. Experimental evaluations demonstrated that the transfer model MobileNetV2 achieved 95% accuracy, DenseNet-121 achieved 94% accuracy, NASNet-Large achieved 76% accuracy, InceptionV3 achieved 74% accuracy, and the CNN achieved 68% accuracy. The proposed novel hybrid approach, MobDenNet, that synergistically merges the architectures of MobileNetV2 and DenseNet-121 neural networks, yields highly accurate results with precision, recall, and an F1 score of 99%. We validated the robustness of the proposed approach using the k-fold cross-validation. The proposed research ensures the detection of growth stages with great promise for boosting agricultural productivity and management practices, empowering farmers to optimize resource distribution and make informed decisions.
