Authors: Severino Carolina , Silva Denise Mendes da
Published: December 2024

Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre aspectos curriculares, metodologias ativas, determinantes do desempenho acadêmico e o desenvolvimento de competências e habilidades na percepção de discentes e docentes do curso de graduação em Ciências Contábeis.
Método: A pesquisa foi conduzida com aplicação de questionários em uma amostra de 170 discentes e 23 docentes do curso de graduação em Ciências Contábeis de uma universidade federal mineira. Para tratamento e análise dos dados, utilizou-se estatística descritiva, testes de médias e testes não paramétricos.
Resultados: Os resultados apontaram que as variáveis analisadas estão associadas ao desenvolvimento de habilidades e competências técnicas. Além disso, foi identificado um alinhamento entre a percepção dos discentes e docentes pesquisados quanto à importância das competências técnicas, habilidades e atitudes.
Contribuições: Este estudo avança em relação a pesquisas anteriores na medida em que propõe a abordagem conjunta das variáveis: competências, habilidades, currículo, metodologias ativas e desempenho acadêmico, além de contemplar os discentes e os docentes, para identificar de que forma as associações entre essas variáveis são percebidas no ambiente acadêmico, contribuindo com a literatura correlata. Ademais, o estudo contribui para a educação contábil, em nível institucional (gestão dos cursos) e social (atuação de discentes e docentes) em duas perspectivas: i) possibilita a compreensão sobre a sinergia dessas variáveis na formação de contadores, para que sejam capazes de lidar com um ambiente de negócios dinâmico e globalizado; e ii) demonstra como a formação por competências, preconizada em âmbito internacional, notadamente no que se refere ao desenvolvimento de habilidades profissionais, pode ser alcançada por meio dos pilares do processo de ensino-aprendizagem (discentes, docentes, currículo, método e desempenho).
Um método alternativo para resolver equações polinomiais do quarto grau
Authors: Sena Filho Edvalter da Silva , Nascimento Ailton Campos do
Published: December 2024

Este artigo apresenta um método alternativo para resolver equações polinomiais de quarto grau. Embora tal resultado já tivesse sido almejado há algum tempo, ainda no século XVI, pelo matemático italiano Lodovico Ferrari, este trabalho ganha originalidade por estar relativamente fora de outros métodos discutidos anteriormente. Neste trabalho, apresentaremos dois teoremas originais e dois corolários. Começaremos introduzindo um modelo especial de polinômio de quarto grau, que permite visualizar todas as suas raízes de maneira clara. Em seguida, demonstraremos o resultado principal deste estudo: a capacidade de converter qualquer polinômio genérico de quarto grau em um formato especial, facilitando assim a identificação de suas raízes. Este método oferece uma perspectiva diferente na resolução de equações polinomiais complexas, proporcionando uma estrutura clara e sistemática para lidar com problemas que desafiaram métodos convencionais. Por fim, serão apresentados exemplos práticos que ilustram a aplicação deste método. Espera-se que este resultado possa servir de inspiração e base para trabalhos futuros que abordem este tema na matemática contemporânea.
La conquista del Chaco
Authors: Oyhantçabal Benelli Gabriel , Figueredo Rolle Soledad , Sabia Suárez Lucía , Wesz Junior Valdemar João
Published: December 2024

A comienzos del siglo XXI el agro sudamericano atravesó profundas transformaciones dinamizadas por la expansión del llamado modelo de los agronegocios. Este implicó el despliegue de una lógica globalizadora en las agriculturas del Sur, con protagonismo de capitales extranjeros que dinamizaron lo que se conceptualizó como land grabbing. Entre otros, capitales regionales lideraron la expansión de rubros como la soja y la ganadería hacia ecosistemas poco antropizados como la Amazonia, el Cerrado y el Gran Chaco. En el Chaco paraguayo, se ha reportado la expansión de capitales uruguayos en la compra-venta de tierras y/o la producción de ganado. En diálogo con los debates contemporáneos sobre procesos de expansión del capital y de la frontera de commodities, este artículo busca comprender: (i) los motivos que tornan al Chaco paraguayo un destino atractivo de inversiones regionales y (ii) los factores que dinamizaron la expansión de capitales uruguayos en este locus. El análisis ofrece una reconstrucción de tres temporalidades en las que se distinguen estrategias diferenciales adoptadas por los capitales uruguayos, las que expresan cambios en el contexto de negocios a nivel regional y nacional. Adicionalmente, se evidencia que este proceso resulta de la conjunción de la expansión de los agronegocios, la suba del precio de la tierra y el agotamiento de la frontera agropecuaria en Uruguay; de la condición de frontera de commodities del Chaco y las políticas favorables a la inversión extranjera en Paraguay; y de los vínculos gremiales, sociales y empresariales entre las élites ganaderas de ambos países.
Controle do território paraguaio: um novo regime sob a égide da narrativa da mudança do clima?
Authors: Pereira Lorena Izá
Published: December 2024

O controle do território é um processo geográfico e histórico, apresentando singularidades no espaço e no tempo,      estas resultantes de dinâmicas multiescalares em interação. Na América do Sul, a primeira manifestação da apropriação de terras para fins de acumulação do capital é a própria colonização. Desde então, a região tem experimentado      diferentes regimes de controle do território. O Paraguai não está alheio a essa lógica. Desde o final da guerra da Tríplice Aliança (1870) o país é palco de sucessivos regimes de controle do território. Na atualidade a aceleração das mudanças climáticas e a institucionalização da questão ambiental promovem a criação de narrativas para justificar o controle de novos territórios e o estabelecimento de novos mercados, formando um novo regime de controle do território. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é debater sobre a atualidade do processo de controle do território paraguaio, verificando se a agenda ambiental tem promovido um novo regime de controle do território no país. Após a utilização de metodologias qualitativas e quantitativas foi possível verificar uma modificação nas narrativas que legitimam a apropriação de terras no país em direção a agenda verde e que reverbera, em parte, nas territorialidades, mas não há uma mudança nas estratégias de acesso e controle. Enquanto isso, o Paraguai continua ocupando destaque na lista de países com a maior concentração fundiária do globo.
Financeirização da agricultura e renda da terra
Authors: Frederico Samuel , Nascimento Rodrigo Cavalcanti do
Published: December 2024

O início do século XXI foi marcado pela presença ainda mais significativa do capital financeiro na agricultura e no mercado de terras mundial. As inversões destinaram-se a países de dinamismo agrícola e com a disponibilidade de espaços para a expansão da produção intensiva de commodities como o Brasil e a Argentina. Os investimentos não se restringiram aos tradicionais movimentos Norte-Sul, incluíram também inversões cruzadas entre países do Sul Global, como no caso sul-americano. Este artigo analisa a gênese e as estratégias transfronteiriças de acumulação da empresa argentina Cresud e de sua filial brasileira, a Brasilagro. Além de revisão bibliográfica, foram levantados dados primários por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e secundários em relatórios corporativos das empresas analisadas. O artigo revela como a associação entre megaempresas argentinas e o capital financeiro possibilitou uma expansão territorial, com movimentos transfronteiriças, assim como estreitou as lógicas de apropriação e especulação entre o imobiliário urbano e agrícola. Enfatiza também como a financeirização é um dinâmica inerente ao desenvolvimento capitalista ao demonstrar a indissociabilidade entre o capital rentista e produtivo, assim como a busca pela transformação da terra em ativo financeiro.
cartografía social participativa como metodología de trabajo territorial y oportunidad para la integralidad de las tres funciones
Authors: Saravia Ramos Pablo , Koch Ewertz Tomás
Published: December 2024

La metodología de la cartografía social participativa es una de las herramientas que los ejercicios de integralidad de las tres funciones sustantivas universitarias disponen para avanzar en el desafío de articular la investigación, la docencia y la extensión. Permite problematizar, desde la perspectiva de la extensión crítica, el papel de la universidad y los territorios en la generación del conocimiento y la construcción de sentido sobre el devenir del trabajo universitario. Funciona como un punto de encuentro donde el diálogo y los intercambios multidireccionales develan sus potencialidades y también los aspectos coyunturales y de contexto que obstaculizan su normal desempeño. Las experiencias de cartografías expuestas muestran su ductibilidad y reafirman ser eficaces a la hora de construir una lectura común sobre los conflictos, riquezas, redes, capacidades, comunes y despojos que han existido a lo largo de la historia reciente de los territorios de la Región de Valparaíso, Chile.
Por uma nova forma de pensar a extensão universitária: do território à multiterritorialidade
Authors: Goulart Darlan , Quaresma de Paula Cristiano
Published: December 2024

Este artigo discute a evolução da extensão universitária em diálogo com Boaventura de Sousa Santos, ressaltando seu potencial de conexão entre a universidade-comunidade. A extensão, ao longo do tempo, situou-se numa fronteira entre ensino e pesquisa, porém sua importância é inegável, especialmente na busca pela inclusão social. Na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande, a extensão desempenha um papel crucial na superação de barreiras sociais e educacionais. Propomos, nesse sentido, uma abordagem de extensão em um movimento dialético, dialogando com Claude Raffestin, Rogério Haesbaert e Pedro Gontijo, buscando compreender sua relação com os territórios e o movimento. Utilizando o Materialismo Histórico e Dialético, a pesquisa combina análises qualitativas, com base em estudos de caso nos projetos de extensão do Centro Integrado de Atendimento à Criança, localizado no território da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande, e entrevistas semi-estruturadas, visando compreender a dinâmica entre universidade e comunidade em busca de uma extensão verdadeiramente popular e dinâmica.

Critical issues in undergraduate cartographic education: Analysis of final tests and oral examinations
Authors: Bláha Jan D. , Trahorsch Petr , Bartůněk Martin , Hladík Petr
Published: December 2024

This article identifies critical issues in cartographic education based on analysis of more than 1,300 anonymized didactic tests and anonymized results of final oral examinations of university courses since 2010. To analyze the students’ results, the tasks in the tests and questions in the oral examination were categorized in the cartographic and didactic aspects based on the revised Bloom’s cognitive taxonomy. The quantitative analysis shows that students achieve better results in tasks that test their procedural knowledge compared to tasks in which they must demonstrate a conceptual knowledge dimension. Students achieve the worst results in tasks that test their factual knowledge, while poorer results are also associated with tasks that require mathematical calculations. In the cartographic curriculum categories, the form of their delivery (lectures vs. exercises and seminars) plays a more important role than the nature (e.g. difficulty) of the content. This will undoubtedly place greater demands on the planning of cartographic education in the future.
Бездомный, Голодный и Ясный: революционные псевдонимы и конструкция «Я + адъективный предикат»
Authors: Маркасова Елена Валерьевна
Published: December 2024

В русском языке с 1820-х гг. формируется конструкция «Я + адъективный предикат», которая активно распространяется с середины XIX века, что объяснимо с точки зрения диахронической психологии. Перемены в привычных дискурсивных практиках, происходящие в XIX веке, отражают рост потребности человека в самоидентификации и самопрезентации. Эта модель самопрезентации складывалась параллельно с практикой искусственного номинирования автора. Семантика прилагательных, характеризующих «Я» в этой конструкции, сопоставима с семантикой псевдонимов-адъективов, возникших значительно раньше революционных событий. Влиянием языка революционной эпохи можно объяснить лишь происхождение псевдонимов, семантически связанных с футуристическими идеями строительства нового мира. В статье оспаривается распространенное мнение о росте количества псевдонимов-адъективов в первой трети XX в. как свидетельстве революционных воззрений их носителей и предлагается новая интерпретация происхождения «революционных» псевдонимов этого типа. Связь между именем и псевдонимом может быть неочевидной и неожиданной, но сам факт выбора адъектива в качестве псевдонима является знаковым.
Writing and publishing language studies in the Arab region [Khitabaat Journal]
Authors: Abdul-latif Emad
Published: December 2024

This article investigates both universal and relative aspects of sociolinguistic academic writing and reading. It engages with Wolfgang Klein’s (1989. Schreiben oder Lesen, aber nicht beides, oder: Vorschlag zur Wiedereinführung der Keilschrift mittels Hammer und Meißel. Zeitschrift für Literaturwissenschaft und Linguistik 74. 116–119) article. Klein starts from an implicit assumption that writing and reading are individual activities and suggests that (individual) writers must decrease their production to enable their (individual) readers to read it. I argue that the contemporary world transformed reading and writing from individual to institutional activities. This means that the importance and feasibility of contemporary academic research are not linked to the individualistic reading but rather to the institutional reading that transforms its results into policies, procedures, applications, and laws. Despite worldwide shared academic writing, reading, and publishing practices, the politics of writing and reading vary over time, disciplines and cultures. I argue that Arab knowledge production on sociolinguistics is highly affected by sociopolitical peculiarities, such as academic freedom restrictions, lack of resources and loose academic practices.

Navigating a national linguistics journal through local interests and global pressures: an editorial view on the problem of academic overproduction [Slovo a slovesnost]
Authors: Kaderka Petr , Sherman Tamah
Published: December 2024

This contribution responds to Wolfgang Klein’s text “Schreiben oder Lesen, aber nicht beides, oder: Vorschlag zur Wiedereinführung der Keilschrift mittels Hammer und Meißel” (Zeitschrift für Literaturwissenschaft und Linguistik 74, 1989, 116–119) from the perspective of long-term editors of a traditional national linguistics journal, Slovo a slovesnost (Czech Republic). After providing a historical context for the journal’s contemporary position, we examine the issues that currently require the greatest degree of adaptation on our part. These include the politics of textual genres in light of the need to enhance transparency of research practice, the ongoing struggle to both maintain and improve the quality of peer review, and the gatekeeping role of the academic journal. We conclude by stating that while Klein’s original premise that something must be done about the problem of overproduction is well-intentioned, the excessive growth in the number of published texts is basically unavoidable, and that we can only combat its detrimental effects by clearly establishing and enacting our priorities (including the support for national languages) as authors, readers and editors.
Toward un-WEIRDing academic publishing about language [Applied Linguistics]
Authors: Higgins Christina
Published: December 2024

In this commentary, I reflect on the shortcomings in representing linguistic knowledge in academic publishing. While Klein’s 1989 article Schreiben oder Lesen, aber nicht beides, oder: Vorschlag zur Wiedereinführung der Keilschrift mittels Hammer und Meißel calls attention to the overproduction of scholarly knowledge in the context of publish or perish ideologies, I invite us to consider how we distribute knowledge within the spaces of academic publishing with regard to global north and global south scholars and contexts. At present, scholarship about language is largely produced by scholars in WEIRD contexts, that is, western, educated, industrial, rich, democratic societies. This leads to limited outcomes in terms of what we can find out about the nature of language by virtue of excluding a majority of the world’s populations and contexts. As we go about questioning the purpose of academic publishing, we also need to consider how to better represent our findings in light of the narrowness of what we have researched.
Optical solitons to the fractional Kundu–Mukherjee–Naskar equation with time-dependent coefficients
Authors: Al-Askar Farah M.
Published: December 2024

In this article, we take into account the fractional space Kundu–Mukherjee–Naskar model with time-dependent coefficients (FSKMNE-TDCs). By incorporating time-dependent coefficients (TDCs) into the equation, researchers can better model systems that exhibit nonconstant or nonlinear behavior over time. This has important implications for understanding complex phenomena such as turbulence in fluid flow, quantum tunneling in particle physics, and time-varying electromagnetic fields. We apply the mapping method to obtain hyperbolic, elliptic, trigonometric and rational fractional solutions. These solutions are vital for understanding some fundamentally complicated phenomena. The obtained solutions will be very helpful for applications such as optical fiber wave propagation in a magnetized plasma, oceanic rogue waves, and ion-acoustic waves. Finally, we show how the M-truncated derivative order and TDCs affect the exact solution of the FSKMNE-TDCs.
Remediation of Ni2+ and Sr2+ ions from aqueous solutions by acacia gum/polyacrylic acid hydrogel reinforced with TiO2 nanoparticles
Authors: Sherbiny Sabah F. , Saad Ebtissam A. , Abdel Geleel Mohamed , Badawy Nagwa A. , Nasef Shaimaa M.
Published: December 2024

Globally, the environment and public health are progressively threatened due to water resource contaminants. For this purpose, a unique polyfunctional nanocomposite is created to remediate heavy metals from aqueous media. The basis of it is TiO2 composite nanoparticles (NPs) manufactured via embedding titanium oxide (TiO2) into acacia gum/acrylic acid (AG/AAc). Nanocomposite hydrogels, bearing different functional groups, are constructed employing a gamma irradiation approach that would operate as adsorbents to remove strontium (Sr2+) and nickel (Ni2+) ions from their wastes. The structure of the prepared hydrogel and its nanocomposites were confirmed by FTIR, whereas the morphology was characterized by SEM. XRD and EDX analysis confirms that the TiO2 NPs are successfully encapsulated into the prepared hydrogel. The presence of TiO2 enhances the thermal stability of the prepared hydrogel. Adsorption extent is evaluated comprehensively concerning temperature, contact time, adsorbent dosage, metal ion concentration, and pH. The physical connection between the adsorbent surface and metal ions is strengthened once TiO2 NPs are included in a copolymeric matrix, which enhances adsorption. Pseudo-second-order kinetics accurately depict the adsorption process, and the Freundlich isotherm provides the most relevant explanation of the equilibrium data. There is a demonstration that sorption is a spontaneous, feasible, and endothermic chemisorption process by examining a variety of thermodynamic parameters, including ΔH, ΔG, and ΔS.
Legal Forms and Reflexive Legal Forms: A New Approach to Reflexive Law
Authors: Ubilla Jaime
Published: December 2024

The possibility of steering social change through law has long been a central topic in the socio-legal literature. This article revisits the debate between Luhmann and Teubner on the matter and argues that it is possible to find a contextual and contingent common ground between their views. For this purpose, it proposes a new approach to reflexive law through a combination of Spencer-Brown’s “laws of form” and Luhmann’s theory of socio-legal evolution. The initial step is to develop the notion of “legal forms”, contending that it facilitates the observation of different combinations of normative and cognitive orientations of law thereby increasing our capacity for observing and assessing the interactions between law and society. It argues that the understanding and observation of “legal forms” sheds new light on the possibility and limits of social steering through law. This lays the foundation for introducing the notion of “reflexive legal forms,” that is, legal forms that have higher learning dispositions and are, therefore, better prepared to steer social change. Subsequently, the article applies the Luhmannian understanding of socio-legal evolution to explain the possible emergence and operation of reflexive legal forms as mechanisms that increase the probabilities of socio-legal evolution. Finally, it presents a case in which this new approach to reflexive law was applied: the conservation right, a new property right for environmental conservation recently enacted as law in Chile.
A vallási élet a Száhel-övezetben
Authors: Szombathy Zoltán
Published: December 2024

A tanulmány rövid áttekintést nyújt a Száhel-övezetről a vallási élet szempontjából. Először röviden áttekinti a térség földrajzi, etnikai és nyelvi jellegzetességeit, illetve a Száhel és más rokon elnevezések jelentéstartalmát. Ezt követően bemutatja a muszlim vallásosság három alapváltozatát: a vallás hagyományos formáit (különösen a szinkretikus népi vallásosságot), a vallási misztika (szúfizmus) főbb csoportjait, illetve a modern vallási reformmozgalmakat (wahhábiták, szalafiták stb.). Minthogy a muszlimok óriási többséget alkotnak a térség népességén belül, a tanulmány értelemszerűen nagyrészt az iszlámról szól, ám mindamellett kitér a vallási kisebbségekre is: az egyre zsugorodó létszámú animista népességekre és a missziós hátterű keresztény közösségekre. Végül bemutatja az övezet legdélebbi részein itt-ott föllángoló keresztény ̶ muszlim ellentéteket, hangsúlyozva, hogy ezek értelmezhetetlenek a „keresztényüldözés” fogalomkörében, ehelyett több közük van a vallás etnicizálódásának jelenségéhez. A tanulmányt a szélsőséges mozgalmak és az erőszakos dzsihádizmus, illetve a szekuláris államberendezkedés konfliktusainak áttekintése zárja.

Comparación de procedimientos FDR para la selección de parámetros en Regresión Poisson
Authors: Velez Jorge Ivan , Correa Juan Carlos
Published: December 2024

The selection of signiﬁcant variables in regression models is an important problem in applied statistics. Poisson Regression, useful when it is of interest to describe the number of occurrences of a particular event as a function of exploratory variables, has recently been used for modeling purposes in biology, epidemiology, genetics and engineering. Here, the Poisson Regression model as well as four procedures to select variables, all of them based on the False Discovery Rate (FDR), are described. In addition, these procedures are compared using a simulation study and some recommendations are given. As reference, the t-based and Bonferroni procedures were used. Finally, we model the number teenagers with children in the Department of Antioquia to illustrate these methods.
Estudio osteológico comparado de dos subespecies de Corvus corax (Aves: Passeriformes)
Authors: Hernández Elisabeth , Martín Mercedes , Rando Reyes Juan Carlos
Published: December 2024

Se ha realizado el estudio biométrico de 21 esqueletos de la subespecie Corvus corax tingitanus, pertenecientes a diversas islas del Archipiélago Canario, y se ha procedido a su comparación con los resultados obtenidos de 15 esqueletos de Corvus corax corax (Mallorca, Islas Baleares). Estos resultados están referidos a 7 medidas craneales y 8 postcraneales, de las que se deducen diferencias significativas entre ambas subespecies a nivel de tamaño, apreciándose una disminución de talla para C.c. tingitanus que no se produce de manera proporcional en todo el esqueleto.
Report on the faunal remains from Trench K (Roman Pessinus, Central Anatolia)
Authors: De Cupere Bea
Published: December 2024

Las excavaciones arqueológicas cn cl yacimiento de Pessinus (Anatolia Central, Turquía) proporcionaron unas muestras de materiales faunísticos procedentes de los periodos romanos inicial y tardío. La mayoría de estos conjuntos representaban restos de comida donde el vacuno y los ovicaprinos dominaban. El porcino desempeñó un papel secundario en la provisión de carne. Entre el material aparecieron esqueletos de caballos, asnos, perros y zorros. También se recuperaron 109 astrágalos de ovejas y cabras. Algunos huesos evidenciaron huellas de manipulación mientras que el análisis de los restos de la fauna doméstica puso de manifiesto las estrategias pecuarias empleadas durante este periodo. La presencia (o ausencia putativa) de determinadas especies indica la existencia de un paleoambiente abierto o escasamente forestal.
The importance of fishing in the economy of the Fucino Basin (Italy) from Upper Palaeolithic to Neolithic times
Authors: Wilkens Barbara
Published: December 2024

El trabajo lleva a cabo un repaso a los restos de peces recuperados en yacimientos de la cuenca del Fucino desde tiempos paleolíticos hasta el Neolítico. La escasez general de peces en casi todas las muestras y la casi absoluta dominancia en las mismas de truchas parece tener causas tanto naturales (hidrografía de la zona desde el Plioceno) como culturales (tipo de artes pesqueras utilizadas). La actividad pesquera, además, presentaba una marcada estacionalidad que podemos atribuir a los tipos de ocupaciones detectadas.

Size increase in Post-Medieval English sheep: the osteological evidence
Authors: O'Connor T. P.
Published: December 2024

Desde finales del Medioevo hasta la conclusión del siglo XVIII, las prioridades de la cría de ovino en gran parte de Inglaterra derivaron desde usos que enfatizaban la producción de lana y leche hacia aquellos en donde la producción cárnica asumió un papel preponderante. Estos cambios de prioridades produjeron estrategias encaminadas a incrementar las canales y optimizar la aptitud cárnica, fenómenos que se sitian en el origen de muchas de las razas actuales. Si bien los registros documentales constatan tal incremento general de tallas, el registro arqueológico del proceso es muy menguado hasta la fecha.
En este trabajo agrupamos información biométrica sobre ovejas post-medievales y demostramos que la tendencia al aumento de tallas ha sido un fenómeno gradual y esporádico, que se produjo fundamentalmente desde finales del siglo XVIII y durante todo el XIX.
Fish exploitation in the Neolithic: some new data from Northerm Central Europe
Authors: Benecke Norbert
Published: December 2024

El trabajo valora los restos de peces procedentes de tres yacimientos del Neolítico medio y final en la zona nororiental de Alemania. En Niedergörne, en el río Elba, y en Klessin, en el Oder, la muestra está dominada por diversas especies de ciprínidos como la brema (Abramis brama), el rutilo (Rutilus rutilus), el escardinio (Scardinius erythrophtalmus), el cacho (Leuciscus cephalus), el ido (Leuciscus idus) O la tenca (Tinca tinca). Desde el punto de vista zoogeográfico resulta llamativa en Niedergörne la presencia del aspio (Aspius aspius). Los restos ícticos de Lóddigsee, un campamento estacional establecido junto a un lago, incluyen una gran cantidad de restos de lucio (Esox lucius). El patrón de representatividad esquelética de esta última especie sugiere que aquí se produjo un consumo directo de sólo parte de lo pescado y que el resto fué posiblemente transportado a otro lugar, quizás como salazón, al objeto de ser consumido allí.

Santiago castro-Gómez y el pensamiento decolonial. Críticas y proyecciones
Authors: Castro Orellana Rodrigo
Published: December 2024

El artículo denuncia la apropiación que los autores decoloniales han hecho de la obra del filósofo colombiano Santiago Castro-Gómez. Para ello se identifican las principales diferencias conceptuales entre la obra del colombiano y los planteamientos decoloniales. En concreto se desarrollan cinco puntos críticos: 1) Las limitaciones metodológicas del análisis global en términos de sistema-mundo; 2) Los problemas en la comprensión jerárquica de la colonialidad del poder; 3) El uso equívoco de la epistemología de frontera y su apelación al fundamento; 4) Las insuficiencias de la crítica al eurocentrismo y el universalismo en nombre de una defensa radical del particularismo identitario; 5) El concepto de modernidad y los sentidos de su problematización desde la noción de transmodernidad.

The article considers the potential of a holistic approach to the electric power system, district heating and municipal infrastructure of settlements. The proposed holistic approach is implemented at the local, regional and national levels. The article analyses a range of investment projects that can help to realise this potential, including cogeneration, heat storage, and electric heating. Particular attention is paid to synergistic and multi-efficiency projects. The concept of energy system sustainability is considered. The author proposes a fundamentally new structure and basis for the functioning of the electric heat system, which combines the national energy system and district heating systems by electrifying heat supply through the use of energy from autonomous variable renewable energy sources and the capacities of traditional power plant generation in electric boilers that do not require standardised power quality indicators. The interrelationships between energy sectors, buildings and municipal infrastructure sectors are traced. Quantitative assessments of some projects are carried out on the example of the integrated energy system of Ukraine and district heating systems. The author proposes directions for improving the national legislative and regulatory framework for implementing a holistic approach to the electricity sector, district heating and municipal infrastructure of settlements.
Keywords: integrated energy system, district heating, municipal infrastructure, synergy, multi efficiency.
Extension of the Standard Model with Chern–Imons Type Interaction
Authors: Gorkavenko V. , Hrynchak I. , Khasai O. , Tsarenkova M.
Published: December 2024

Extension of the Standard Model (SM) with a Chern–Simons type interaction contains a new vector massive boson (Chern–Simons boson) that couples to electroweak gauge bosons by the so-called effective Chern–Simons interaction. There is no direct interaction between the Chern–Simons bosons and SM fermions. We consider the existing restrictions on the parameters of this SM extension, the effective loop interaction of a new vector boson with SM fermions, and the possibility of the manifestation of the long-lived GeV-scale Chern–Simons bosons in collider experiments.

Published: December 2024

This study establishes the foundation for viewing the Costa Rican economy as a complex system and provide policymakers with a robust analytical framework to enhance economic performance. To tackle the initial challenge of understanding the economy as an interconnected structure, we analyze the economic relationships among the products within Costa Rica's Input-Output Matrix. Through this analysis, we identify the best positioned actors, both individually and as part of network subgroups. Understanding the positioning of these actors within the network is crucial to comprehend how their roles can be improved by accessing different network regions and establishing relations with other actors. Our findings reveal the existence of actors that have access to different regions within the network, allowing them to serve as bridges between economic sectors. Consequently, strengthening these well-positioned actors through targeted policies can yield simultaneous benefits for both network subgroups and the overall economy.

Shigellosis, a diarrheal disease caused by Shigella species, is a significant public health concern, particularly in developing countries with inadequate sanitation systems. This study aimed to investigate the patterns of antibiotic resistance, ESBL and AmpC genes, integrons, and enterotoxin genes in Shigella species isolated from patients with gastroenteritis in Northeast Iran. This cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2017 and December 2019 at a tertiary care hospital in Northeast Iran. A total of 110 Shigella isolates were collected from stool samples of patients with gastroenteritis. The isolates were identified using conventional biochemical tests and confirmed by PCR. The highest resistance rates were detected for ampicillin (88.2%) and cotrimoxazole (84.5%). Altogether 64.5% of isolates exhibited multidrug resistance however, ESBL and AmpC phenotypes were detected in 34.54% and 1.81% of isolates, respectively. Interestingly, blaCTX-M-15 and blaTEM were detected in all ESBL-positive isolates but integron class 1, 2, and 3 were identified in 97.3%, 76.4%, and 59.1% of isolates, respectively. The sen gene was present in 72.7% of the isolates. In this study CTX-M-15 production was detected in 31 strains of Shigella sonnei and in 7 strains of Shigella flexneri. The high prevalence of multidrug-resistant Shigella isolates is concerning and shows the need for continuous monitoring and rational use of antibiotics.
The point location problem on the example of determining map identification number and map sheet extent in the IMW system
Authors: Zygmunt Mariusz , Michałowska Krystyna , Ślusarski Marek
Published: December 2024

The point location problem is one of the most fundamental topics in computational geometry. This problem is particularly well illustrated in the context of maps. In order to determine a point location, it is necessary to work in a specified space, with known division rules. A practical example can be a map sheet division system adopted for the International Map of the World. Given the current advancements in spatial data acquisition and growing availability of spatial data sets, it has become necessary to design an algorithm to identify a map sheet corresponding to a selected point. Available digital data, e.g. orthophotomaps or LiDAR-based data sets, cover whole countries. Due to the size of such data sets, they need to be divided into smaller chunks. The article presents a method of determining a map sheet identification number and a map sheet extent based on the latitude and longitude of a selected point. An inverse problem has also been addressed, allowing a map sheet extent to be identified based on a map sheet identification number. The algorithms developed might be directly implemented in GIS software. They are presented in a ready-to-implement form in the Basic programming language with the use of basic data structures.
Aggregated indices in quality assessment of selected geoinformation websites
Authors: Król Karol
Published: December 2024

Map portals can facilitate the work of public administration units and improve access to information, although they have to present high material and technical quality. Not without significance are also measures supporting these websites. This paper aims to assess the quality of selected geoinformation websites. The study was carried out in the form of a quality audit with the use of selected web applications provided in a freeware, thin-client model. A comparative analysis was performed on three versions of the geoservice functioning for the Tomice municipality (accessed on 5th July 2023): 1) eMPZP website (https://www.tomice.pl/mpzp/), 2) municipal geoportal (http://www.mpzp.tomice.pl), and 3) municipal map portal (https://sip.gison.pl/tomice). The measurements were taken only once and in an ad hoc manner. The tests were performed in selected quality dimensions: responsiveness, performance, content and hyperlink quality, accessibility for people with disabilities, syntactic code correctness, search engine optimisation (SEO), and usage indicators, with special emphasis on overall quality. The conclusion was that each of the geoportals evaluated presents good quality. However, it would be wrong to compare them in absolute terms, as the quality of these services should be assessed through the lens of the different times in which they operate.

Published: December 2024

This article is a part of the authors’ broader research on spatial management in Poland. Specifically, it addresses the problem of the procedures and practices of setting the planning fee on the basis of the legislation in force until 2023. The authors pay particular attention to cases of charging this fee following an increase in the value of real estate, as a consequence of changes in legislation or investment activities in a given area. In order to meet the research objective, the process of determining the planning fee was analysed on the basis of such practices over several decades. For this purpose, a detailed study of the subject literature was carried out, which included both book titles and scientific papers, as well as the interpretation of the law. The study highlighted the major role of correct and up-to-date planning documentation, both at the national and regional levels. It also identified the importance of the local spatial development plan and all the procedures for amending it. This publication consists of both analysis and research. This research resulted in a graphical presentation of many complex issues concerning spatial management in Poland, under both legal and economic aspects. It includes figures, such as a diagram of the stages of the procedure for setting the percentage rate by the municipal council, in the case of amending or adopting the local plan, the procedure for calculating the planning fee, the algorithm for increasing the value of real estate, and the procedure for refunding the planning fee. The paper also covers the issue of predicted changes in spatial policy.

Water scarcity is severely high in the North Africa and the Middle East (MENA) regions. The deterioration of water quality has an impact on the human health as well as on the development of agricultural activities, especially in arid regions, where precipitations are less frequent. The aim of this work is to identify and evaluate the chemistry of the groundwater aquifer in the region of Messaad plateau. This region is located 370 km south of Algiers in southern Algeria. A dozen of samples were collected from wells and analyzed using physic-chemical technics, and the results were processed statistically. The distribution of the conductivity values and the various chemical parameters suggest that the groundwater in the Messad wadi area is overall highly mineralized, with the EC ranging from 550 µS . cm–1 to 8790.13 µS . cm–1, with a predominance of calcium sulphate facies and calcium chloride facies. The level of mineralization noted in the southern and southeastern portions of the research area sheds light on the source of natural contamination. The SO42–, Cl– , Ca2+ , Na+ ions are the most important factors influencing the electrical conductivity of water and the groundwater chemistry. These ions are the result of the continuous dissolution of gypsum and halite in the clays and marls of the Barremian formations.
Creating of urban spaces: between legislation and application. A case study of land use plan N°06 in the city of Batna

Published: December 2024

The illegal and disorderly practices committed by the IUC (inhabitants/users/citizens) have introduced chaos into urban spaces at different levels. The aim of this study is to examine how the practices do not comply with urban legislation impact urban spaces. It applies a socio-spatial analysis using three methodologies: the first is a social survey through questionnaires, the second is a field survey of the area studied, and the third is a spatial configuration modeling using space syntax analyses. The results show the dysfunctionalities caused by the unplanned interventions of IUCs within the study area, specifically land use plan N°06 in the city of Batna.
Disobeying urban planning principles leads to compromised accessibility and visibility according to spatial syntax measures. Additionally, the results of the questionnaire and the survey highlight the inadequacy of legislation without effective enforcement mechanisms. Furthermore, the study contrasts the findings of field survey with spatial configuration analyses, indicating the disadvantages of the created urban space.
