Introducción: se ha demostrado que la utilización de protocolos para estandarizar la atención disminuye los resultados adversos en diversos campos médicos, incluida la obstetricia. Dentro del manejo del parto, además de estandarizar la atención, la inducción del parto se ha estudiado como una forma de disminuir el tiempo de trabajo de parto y mejorar los resultados maternos y neonatales. El objetivo principal de este estudio es evaluar el impacto de un protocolo estandarizado de inducción al parto desarrollado en el Hospital Universitario de Salamanca durante un periodo de tres meses. Metodología: se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y retrospectivo, en el Hospital Universitario de Salamanca durante tres meses. La muestra de 96 mujeres fue seleccionada mediante una técnica aleatoria simple y los datos se recogieron a través de registros clínicos y una entrevista clínica estructurada; y se analizaron mediante técnicas estadísticas descriptivas y tablas de contingencia. Resultados: la muestra tuvo una edad media de 34 años, una edad gestacional media de 278 días y la mayoría eran primíparas. El 49% de las gestantes tuvo un parto inducido y el 51% tuvo un parto espontáneo. Se analizó el tipo de parto (p = 0,054) así como el grado de satisfacción materna (p = 0,000) relacionado con el inicio inducido o espontáneo del parto. Conclusiones: existe una clara asociación entre el tipo de parto y el grado de satisfacción materna con el inicio del mismo según sea espontáneo o inducido. De tal forma que las mujeres con un inicio de parto inducido tienen una tasa más alta de parto instrumental y un grado de satisfacción menor que las mujeres con un inicio de parto espontáneo.

Innovation and entrepreneurship education is critical for fostering economic growth and societal advancement. In applied universities, the effectiveness of such education is influenced by various factors. Here we investigate the key elements affecting innovation and entrepreneurship education through an empirical study of Chinese applied universities, utilizing a structural equation model (SEM). We found that teacher quality (TQ) significantly impacts curriculum design (CD), practical platforms (PP), and policy support (PS). CD influences PP and PS, while PP affect TQ and CD. PS impacts TQ and CD, and student individual characteristics (SI) influence all four primary indicators. Compared to previous studies, our findings highlight the critical roles of TQ and CD in enhancing educational outcomes. By optimizing these factors, along with improving PP and strengthening PS, the effectiveness of innovation and entrepreneurship education can be significantly increased. This research provides vital theoretical and practical guidance for university administrators and educators, underscoring the need for targeted improvements in key areas to foster better educational results. Such insights contribute to the broader discourse on educational innovation, offering strategies that can be applied across various academic settings to promote innovation and entrepreneurship globally.

Современные университеты признаются важными институтами формирования устойчивого развития через образование. Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2025 охватывают более 2500 вузов (130 стран) и оценивают их вклад в цели устойчивого развития ООН (ЦУР) по четырём направлениям, включая преподавание как ключевой компонент[1][2]. В данном исследовании мы проанализировали степень включения ЦУР и «зелёных» навыков в учебные программы 100 ведущих вузов по рейтингу THE Impact 2025. Применена аналитическая методика на основе пяти индикаторов (включение ЦУР в учебный план, междисциплинарные курсы, обучение «зелёным» навыкам, обязательная устойчивостная грамотность, институциональное управление) с весами . Университеты разделены на три группы: высокая вовлечённость, средняя вовлечённость, низкая вовлечённость. В группе высокой вовлечённости – вузы, системно интегрирующие ЦУР в учебные планы (например, Western Sydney University, Manchester, Тасмания)[3][4]. Средняя вовлечённость характеризуется наличием ряда курсов и инициатив (Arizona State University, Lund, Cardiff)[5][6][7]. Менее вовлечёнными считаются институты с упором на исследования и слабыми данными по образовательным инициативам. На основе анализа сделаны рекомендации по расширению ESD в учебных заведениях.

This study applies mathematical linguistics to explore how language distance plays an essential role inthird language acquisition in terms of a morphosyntactic module. Data were drawn from 3410 essayswritten in Japanese by low, middle and high levels of learners from 12 first-language (L1) backgroundswho acquire English as a second language (L2)-interlanguage and Japanese as a third language (L3). Thefindings indicate that (a) mean dependency distance is an efficient indicator for syntactic complexity ofwriting proficiency. In both elementary and intermediate groups, learners of highly agglutinativelanguages are likely to show higher dependency distance than learners from isolated-language and fusionlanguage backgrounds. (b) The frequency and dependency distance are distributed in Power LawFunction. Fitting Right truncated Good to the dependency distances indicates that the values of theparameter p ascend as the degree of agglutination of learners’ mother tongue increases. (c) The syntacticcomplexity in multi-background Japanese learners’ essays highlights that no matter how diverse thelearners’ native and target languages are, the syntax is always constrained by universal law, namely,minimising dependency distance. This is in accordance with existing findings in second languageacquisition of inflectional languages.

Le Centre des Arts Numériques (CDA) est devenu, en quelques années, un lieu international majeur pour la diffusion des arts et la recherche en art numérique. Sous la direction de Dominique Roland, son fondateur et directeur, et grâce à l’impulsion du maire d’Enghien-les-Bains, Philippe Sueur, le CDA a développé une programmation riche et variée comprenant des expositions, installations interactives, spectacles vivants, danse, théâtre, performances, concerts, projections, conférences, workshops, etc. Le centre soutient également des artistes en résidence qui explorent les frontières entre art, science et technologie, et leur offre un accompagnement dans la création. Chaque année, le CDA organise "Les Bains Numériques", un événement phare qui se déroule dans toute la ville d’Enghien-les-Bains, notamment sur le lac, attirant un large public. De plus, la ville d'Enghien-les-Bains est labellisée Ville Créative des Arts Numériques par l'UNESCO, un label qui témoigne de son dynamisme et de son implication dans les arts numériques à l'échelle internationale. Ce document a été conçu et publié à l’initiative de Catherine Millet, directrice de la revue Art Press, de Dominique Roland et de Norbert Hillaire. À travers un entretien entre ces deux acteurs du projet, il retrace dix ans de création contemporaine au sein du CDA. Ce cahier spécial, ici mis à disposition en accès libre, accompagnait la publication de Art Press 2 (2013), qui, dans sa version restreinte, traite de "L'art dans le tout numérique".

Paper Title:New Sequence Alignment Algorithm using AI Rules and Dynamic Seeds Authors:Suchindra and Preetam Nagaraj2, 1Karnataka State Govt, India, 2IBM, India Abstract:DNA sequence alignment is important today as it is usually the first step in finding gene mutation, evolutionary similarities, protein structure, drug development and cancer treatment. Covid-19 is one recent example. There are many sequencing algorithms developed over the past decades but the sequence alignment using expert systems is quite new. To find DNA sequence alignment, dynamic programming was used initially. Later faster algorithms used small DNA sequence length of fixed size to find regions of similarity, and then build the final alignment using these regions. Such systems were not sensitive but were fast. To improve the sensitivity, we propose a new algorithm which is based on finding maximal matches between two sequences, find seeds between them, employ rules to find more seeds of varying length, and then employ a new stitching algorithm, and weighted seeds to solve the problem.
