Published: June 2024

Las medidas corporales lineales (MCL) se pueden utilizar para desarrollar criterios de selección de animales de cría. Estas son una forma indirecta de estimar el peso vivo (PV) en algunos herbívoros. El objetivo de este estudio fue obtener una fórmula que permita estimar el peso vivo de hembras (PVH) caprinas sin báscula (PVH) a partir de cinco MCL. Se registró la longitud corporal (LC), perímetro torácico (PT), anchura de la grupa (AG), altura de la grupa (ALG), altura de la cruz (AC) y PV con báscula (PVB) en 206 hembras caprinas criollas de la región del Altiplano (RA) y el Valle de San Fernando (RVSF) del estado de Tamaulipas. Se realizaron pruebas "t" de Student para la comparación de medias, correlaciones de Pearson y modelos lineales generalizados para obtener regresiones múltiples. Las cabras del RVSF presentaron una menor LC y AC comparada con las del RA (P<0,01). Las correlaciones en ambos distritos fueron positivas y significativas. La fórmula propuesta para la estimación del PVH en la RA fue (0.80 × PT) -29.83 y para el RVSF (0.89 × PT)-37.30. No se observaron diferencias entre el PVH y el peso vivo estimado (PVE).
Levantando a voz em fraudes contábeis no Brasil
Authors: Sousa Rossana Guerra , Vasconcelos Adriana Fernandes de , Santos Leandro
Published: June 2024

O objetivo foi prover evidências iniciais para o cenário brasileiro sobre as intenções de Whistleblowing dos empregados, quando múltiplos canais de comunicação estão disponíveis. A metodologia utilizada foi um quase-experimento, resultando em uma amostra de 271 participantes, em sua maioria profissionais da área contábil. Os respondentes foram expostos a um cenário de fraude contábil, sendo solicitado que indicassem de forma sequencial a intenção de denúncia do fato observado, sem indicação de nenhum canal, depois a um canal anônimo e por fim a uma série de canais não anônimos. Foram realizadas as análises dos dados com a utilização do teste não-paramétrico de Wilcoxon para a comparação dos grupos. Os resultados evidenciam que 73% participantes demonstram a intenção de denúncia da fraude relatada e apenas 12% indicam sua intenção de não delatar. Quando os participantes são informados sobre os canais, a intenção de denúncia decresce, sendo de 42% para o uso de canal anônimo e 54% para o uso de canais não anônimos. Os resultados não revelam a prevalência da intenção de denúncia ao canal anônimo no caso do empregado brasileiro, diferentemente de outros países. O efeito dos múltiplos canais de denúncia sobre a intenção de Whistleblowing dos empregados brasileiros aponta para uma preferência pelos canais não anônimos, com destaque para a linha mais direta de subordinação. Os resultados sugerem a necessidade de melhorar os programas internos de denúncia, com treinamento dos empregados e membros da administração (comunicadores e receptores), para potencializar o efeito do mecanismo de denúncia como ferramenta de gestão
Abordagem clássica da administração

Published: June 2024

As discussões no âmbito da abordagem clássica da administração, presentes nos manuais acadêmicos, são normalmente direcionadas a dois autores, Taylor e Fayol, com ênfase na estrutura interna das organizações e na eficiência. O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar de qual forma a abordagem clássica da administração é apreendida nos manuais acadêmicos dessa disciplina. Foram selecionados três manuais, nos quais se realizou uma breve caracterização bibliométrica e análise comparativa considerando-se cinco dimensões: i) delimitação da abordagem e quantidade de referências; ii) dimensão histórico-concreta; iii) dimensão político-ideológica; iv) dimensão epistemológica, ontológica e gnosiológica; v) dimensão teórica. Verificou-se que os conteúdos são contextualizados no âmbito do surgimento das organizações e das novas necessidades oriundas da revolução industrial. Notou-se a existência de espaço para críticas; entretanto, talvez seja insuficiente para proporcionar ao acadêmico a compreensão do dimensionamento e da complexidade dos conflitos existentes. Por fim, como similaridade entre os autores, destaca-se a organização didática adotada.
UNDIMINISHED POWER OF IDEOLOGICAL DISTORTION IN RIYANA RIZKI’S SHORT STORY “SUDAH KUKATAKAN, AKU TIMUN MAS”
Authors: Khurosan Herpin Nopiandi , Kristyaningsih Dyah
Published: June 2024

This study examines how folkloric form in Riyana Rizki's Sudah Kukatakan, Aku Timun Mas (SKATM) becomes the aesthetic strategy at a time when most Indonesian writers deconstruct Ramayana-Mahabharata Epic. Specifically, this study examines the aspects of socially symbolic act, ideologeme, and ideology of form in SKATM. To examine these aspects, the authors laboring political unconscious horizon of interpretation, proposed by Jameson, through three concentric horizons, consisting of the political, social, and historical horizons. The political horizon of interpretation showed that the SKATM narrative is a socially symbolic act of the author over social contradictions that cannot directly be resolved. Additionally, the social horizon of interpretation revealed that the symbolic social actions of SKATM are based on ideologemes or antagonistic social class collective discourses. Later, the historical horizon of interpretation demonstrated that the ideologemes drama at the social level of SKATM are held in a wider space. From the findings, SKATM manifests the folkloric form as a symbolic act, class struggle ideologeme, and cultural revolution

Authors: Okefi Uchenna , Ejimakor Godfrey
Published: June 2024

This study evaluated the products produced by farmers in the 12- county Piedmont Triad Region of North Carolina. It aimed to enhance the local food economy for the region by identifying food items that may be more suitable for production. Survey respondents were asked to list all food items that they produced. The listed items were categorized as either crops or livestock products. The percentages of farmers that produced the different food items were calculated and compared. Beef was the number one livestock product produced by farmers in the region. Tomatoes, then lettuce, were the most predominant plant products produced by the region’s farmers. One of every six farmers in the region produced tomatoes. Beef was produced by one of every eight farmers in the region. New and beginning farmers will do well by considering these products because their production by many existing farmers may imply that there is a ready market for them.

Objective : The aim of this study was to address the sociodemographic characteristics, therapeutic aspects and prognosis of externalized uterine prolapse occurring for the first time during pregnancy. Patients and Methods : This was a prospective study over a period of 12 months (January 1 to December 31, 2021) focusing on patients treated for gravidarum prolapse. Results : Seven cases were recorded during the study period. The frequency of gravidarum prolapse was 2 cases/1000 deliveries in our department. The patients were young (28-31 years old), multiparous with an average age of 28.57 years and an average parity of four children. They were very young when they first gave birth (16-20 years old). Most of the risk factors described in the literature were found in our patients. Premature rupture of membranes (2 cases, 28.57%), chorioamnionitis (1 case, 14.28%), premature delivery (1 case, 14.28%), postpartum hemorrhage (1 case, 14.28%) and anemia (1 case, 14.28%) were the complications found. Conservative treatment was carried out in all patients (100%). The evolution was favorable with spontaneous regression of the prolapse in the immediate postpartum period in all our patients (100%). After six months of follow-up, the prolapses have not recurred. Conclusion : gravidarum prolapse is not exceptional in our context. Despite its distressing nature for the patient, her family and the obstetric team, a conservative attitude can be questioned when faced with a prolapse appearing for the first time during pregnancy in a young patient without any particular pathological history.

Published: June 2024

University education as an important choice shapes the professional career. Career in sport is difficult than the other professional areas. Because the professional career process in sport is different from the classical occupational choices. Sometimes individuals feel career regret in difficult experiences. Then the negative feelings become a depression, loss of selfconfidence etc. So, the purpose of this study was to determine the career decision regrets of students in faculty of sport sciences. The most commonly technique in descriptive research models, the survey method is used in the study. The study group consisted of 400 students from the four different departments in Bartın University, Faculty of Sport Sciences. In the study, individual information form which had developed by the researchers and ‘Career Decision Regret Scale’ was used. Descriptive statistics, t-test for independent groups and one-way Anova tests were used as statistical methods to analyze the data. As a result, it was determined that the students who are studying at the Department of Sports Sciences in Bartın University had a little regret of career decisions and the scale scores of the students differed significantly according to their age, departments, grade, place of birth, academic average, residence place, part time working, fathers’ working statute and educational level. The fact that the study group consists of only one university is seen as a limitation. Therefore, for future studies it may be suggested to increase the number of participants by joining the different universities’ students in the Departments of Sports Sciences.

Published: June 2024

Anthropogenic activities are the main sources of pollution of hydrosystems. The purpose of this study is to inventory the various pressures exerted on the tributaries (Sô and Djonou) of Lake Nokoué. Thus, previous studies on the quality of these rivers are put to use and are supplemented by an observation survey according to a scientific approach which has made it possible to have a broad knowledge of the different pressures exerted on the two rivers. The Schwarz formula (Kresic, 2007) and the RGPH4 data made it possible to submit 255 households living in the immediate and close perimeters of the two rivers (Sô and Djonou) to a survey questionnaire. Eleven districts, namely seven (Sô-Ava, Veky, houédo aguékon, dékanmè, ganvié 1, ganvié 2 and Ahomey Lokpo) in the commune of Sô-Ava and four (Godomey, Togba, ouédo and Hêvié) in the commune of Abomey -Calavi home to the two rivers are covered and an average of twenty-four (24) households per district are submitted to the questionnaire. The analysis of the data was accentuated around themes such as: Presence or not of a sanitation system, waste management method, various activities likely to pollute the rivers, frequent cases of illnesses and computer processing is done via an Excel spreadsheet. As a result: Lake Nokoué and its tributaries are subject to chemical, bacteriological and organic pollution, mainly due to anthropogenic activities (previous studies); then, 64% of households do not have a sanitation system and practice open defecation; 72% of households mismanage waste; 20% of households use NPK fertilizer in agriculture and market gardening in the immediate and near perimeter of the Sô and Djonou rivers; 69% of households water livestock directly from the river; 3% of households trade in fuels with the risk of these petroleum products spilling into rivers causing heavy chemical pollution; 14.41% of households use acadja branches and products (1.80% of households) as a means of fishing; 80.7% of households repeatedly suffer from the following diseases: malaria, chronic diarrhea, skin infections Finally, the people want continuous awareness-raising to be made about them and seek the support of the central state/NGO to build more sanitation facilities and properly manage waste in order to reduce the various cases of disease.

This study aims to evaluate the toxicity of the aqueous extract of Sida acuta, a plant widely used in traditional medicine by West African and particularly Ivorian populations. The interest given to the said study is due to the need to guarantee populations a plant-based therapy without risk of toxicity or harmful effects. The qualitative phytochemical analysis was carried out by the tube staining method and the evaluation of the toxicity of the aqueous extract on white mice following OECD Guideline 423, modified in 2008. Doses 300, 1000, 2000 and 5000 mg/kg body weight were administered by gavage to the four experimental batches. Only the control batch received distilled water. Phytochemistry simultaneously revealed steroids and terpenes for aqueous and the 70% ethanolic extract while alkaloids, polyphenols, and flavonoids were revealed exclusively in the 70% ethanolic extract. The maximum dose of 5000 mg/kg body weight recorded no deaths. Therefore, the aqueous extract of Sida acuta remains safe for oral use in traditional medicine.

Published: June 2024

Osteoporosis is an important cause of morbidity in hemoglobinopathy patients. It is characterized by low bone mass and disruption of bone architecture, resulting in reduced bone strength and increased risk of fractures. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of NF-kappa-B ligand (RANKL) have been recently implicated in the pathogenesis of various types of osteoporosis. The aim of our study was to determine if there was any correlation between OPG/RANKL and the patients affected by thalassemia major in the Center of Haemoglobinopathy in Lushnje. Methods: We measured in 70 patients with Thalassemia major and in 67 healthy control serum OPG and RANKL levels and determined correlations with BMD. We measured T-score and BMD too. Results: 31.1% of our patients with Thalassemia major had osteoporosis and 21.6 % had osteopenia. We found a correlation between OPG-BMD (r=-0.768, p=0.000 and RANKL-BMD (r=0.468; p=0.000). OPG-T-score (r=0.729. p=0.000) and Rankl-T-score r=-0.409; p=0.000). Conclusion: OPG and RANKL in Thalassemia major patients should be consider as a main factor responsible for osteoclast activation.
Evidence of Komatiitic Basalt Enclaves in the Téra-Ayorou Pluton (Liptako, West Niger) (West African Craton)Sofiyane Abdourahamane Attourabi

Published: June 2024

The basic enclaves (amphibolo-pyroxenites) of the Téra-Ayorou pluton in Niger Liptako (NE portion of the Man Ridge of the West African Craton) are characterized by high MgO, low Na2O, K2O, and TiO2 contents, high CaO/Al2O3 ratios, depletion of light rare earth and enrichment in Ni and Cr. These basic enclaves are thought to come from certain basic to ultrabasic Pogwa and Ladanka plutonites in the Diagorou-Darbani greenstone belt, with which they share the same geochemical characteristics. This suggests that these enclaves were ripped out by the pluton as it was being emplaced. The basic enclaves and basic plutonites with ultrabasites have different signatures from those of the birimian basites of the West African Craton, which are tholeiitic and calc-alkaline. The amphibolopyroxenite enclaves of the Téra-Ayorou pluton and the basic to ultrabasic plutonites of the Diagorou-Darbani greenstone belt constitute a fairly continuous line of komatiitic rocks from peridotites (serpentinites) to basalts (metapyroxenites, amphibolites). This komatiitic lineage results from the fractional crystallization of a magmatic liquid from a mantle source with variable partial melting rates. The komatiitic line and the tholeiitic and calcalkaline lines are closely intertwined in the field.

The objective of this study was to assess the diversity and structure of zooplankton in the Okpara River. The river's zooplankton were identified and their community structure assessed at nine selected stations using taxonomic richness, density, the Shannon diversity index and the Pielou equitability index. A total of 68 species of zooplankton were recorded, divided into three groups: rotifers (57), copepods (07) and cladocerans (04). The number of species was higher in the lower reaches than in the upper and middle reaches. Rotifers were the most abundant group with 78.25% of the total abundance, followed by copepods (20.7%) and cladocerans (1.3%). Keratella valga and Tropocyclops confinis were the most abundant species. Mytilina sp., Asplanchna girodi, Anuraeopsis sp., Lepadella sp., Asplanchna brightwellii, Asplanchna navicular, Trichocerca sp. and Trichocerca tenuior were recorded at all stations. The values for abundance and density of zooplankton are higher in the dry season than in the rainy season. The values for species richness, Shannon diversity index and Pielou equitability are higher in the wet season than in the dry season. The strong presence of certain pollution indicator species such as Asplanchna brightwelli, Brachionus angularis and Brachionus falcatus could indicate the presence of organic pollutants in the river. Effective monitoring measures therefore need to be put in place to protect the river from anthropogenic intrusion.

Crimes sexuais contra crianças e adolescentes: uma abordagem dos direitos humanos
Authors: Robalinho Thiago Lelis , Favieri Giusepe
Published: June 2024

O direito brasileiro desempenha um papel fundamental na sociedade, seja protegendo-a, seja regulando-a, seja buscando ordem, progresso e harmonia entre os cidadãos. Apesar de todo esse esforço, uma sociedade composta por homens está vulnerável a ações bestializadas por parte de alguns, como, por exemplo, os crimes sexuais que se fazem presentes nesta sociedade. Fazendo uma leitura contemporânea, percebe-se que esses crimes aumentaram significantemente, tendo como principais vítimas as crianças e os adolescentes. Muito desse avanço se deve à evolução das redes sociais e à negligência estatal. Diante desta evolução social, tecnológica e da regressão comportamental do homem, faz-se necessária uma análise para entender e elucidar a origem desses crimes, além de remediá-los e combatê-los de forma eficiente.

Published: June 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo principal refletir sobre a importância do reconhecimento e da afirmação de um currículo centrado nas e para as relações étnico-raciais na educação infantil. Essa é uma pesquisa-ação, pois se construiu um relato de experiência do componente curricular Estagio IV, do curso de Licenciatura em Pedagogia da Universidade Estadual da Paraíba (UEPB), campus I. O referido estágio aconteceu em uma turma do Maternal II, de uma instituição de educação infantil pública. Os resultados indicaram a importância da implementação de um currículo étnico-racial, através de experiências, discussões em rodas de conversa e atividades didáticas permanentes, em que as crianças vão se reconhecendo nas relações com os pares e adultos, desconstruindo preconceitos e aprendendo atitudes e comportamentos antirracistas. Concluímos que é preciso romper com as estruturas e atitudes racistas nas instituições de educação infantil, que se expressam através do currículo oficial, no qual predomina a cultura eurocêntrica. Ademais, realizar uma educação igualitária, em que o acolhimento da criança, em sua integralidade, faça parte das práticas curriculares, exige uma postura comprometida com a ética e a justiça social.

Authors: Arfini Lusiani , Octaria Yessi Crosita , Fauziyah Aimmatul , Sufyan Dian Luthfiana
Published: June 2024

Latar belakang: Prevalensi obesitas pada perempuan dewasa secara konsisten lebih tinggi dibandingkan laki-laki, pada tahun 2018 angkanya masing-masing sebesar 44,4% dan 26,6%. Ditemukan bukti yang bertentangan tentang efek kontrasepsi hormonal pada penambahan berat badan perempuan. Sedangkan di Indonesia, kontrasepsi hormonal merupakan metode kontrasepsi yang paling banyak diminati.
Tujuan: Menganalisis hubungan antara penggunaan kontrasepsi hormonal dengan konsumsi makronutrien dan status gizi.
Metode: Penelitian cross-sectional ini melibatkan 106 wanita tidak hamil berusia 20-45 tahun. Responden direkrut dengan menggunakan metode consecutive sampling. Responden dikelompokkan menjadi pengguna metode kontrasepsi hormonal dan non hormonal. Analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji chi-square dan regresi linier berganda
Hasil: Sebagian besar responden (59,5%) menggunakan kontrasepsi hormonal dan sisanya (40,5%) menggunakan kontrasepsi non hormonal. Tidak ditemukan hubungan yang bermakna antara kontrasepsi hormonal dengan IMT (p=0,081), lingkar pinggang (p=0,789), dan asupan makronutrien (p energi=0,0675; protein=0,758; lemak= 0,156; karbohidrat=0,23). Tidak ditemukan hubungan yang bermakna antara lama pemakaian kontrasepsi dengan IMT (p=0,163 dan 0,248) atau lingkar pinggang (p=0,282 dan 0,066) baik pada pengguna maupun bukan pengguna kontrasepsi hormonal. Model regresi linier menunjukkan bahwa hanya asupan lemak dan karbohidrat yang berkontribusi signifikan terhadap lingkar pinggang (adjusted R2 model adalah 0,244, F 12,3, Sig 0,000) dan IMT (adjusted R2 model adalah 0,206, F 7,8, Sig 0,000).
Kesimpulan: Tidak ada hubungan yang bermakna antara penggunaan kontrasepsi hormonal dengan IMT, lingkar pinggang, dan asupan zat gizi makro tetapi asupan lemak dan karbohidrat berkontribusi signifikan terhadap lingkar pinggang dan IMT. Dengan demikian, pendidikan gizi lebih penting daripada beralih jenis kontrasepsi.

Pengaruh Penggunaan Aplikasi "Tentang Anak" Terhadap Pengetahuan, Sikap dan Perilaku Ibu dalam Memantau Status Gizi Baduta
Authors: Sevin Rhut , Humayrah Wardina
Published: June 2024

Saat ini permasalahan gizi baduta masih cukup tinggi, di sisi lain banyak aplikasi gizi tersedia di ponsel pintar. Salah satu aplikasi yang populer digunakan para ibu baduta adalah “Tentang Anak” yang dapat memudahkan pemantauan status gizi dan tumbuh kembang anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh penggunaan aplikasi “Tentang Anak” terhadap pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku ibu dalam memantau status gizi baduta. Desain penelitian adalah cross-sectional study. Pengumpulan data dilakukan secara purposive dengan Google Form yang disebarkan dalam Whatsapp Group Komunitas pengguna resmi “Tentang Anak”. Sebanyak 103 ibu baduta pengguna aktif aplikasi di Indonesia ikut serta sebagai responden. Uji regresi linear sederhana digunakan untuk mengukur pengaruh penggunaan aplikasi terhadap pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku ibu baduta. Mayoritas (>50%) responden adalah ibu pekerja yang tinggal di perkotaan dan berpendidikan tinggi. Terdapat 3 fitur terkait gizi dengan penggunaan tertinggi (>80%) yaitu: fitur tumbuh, resep, dan tanya ahli. Durasi penggunaan seluruh fitur aplikasi berpengaruh signifikan (p<0,05) pada pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku dengan pengaruh dalam kategori lemah (R2<0,33). Sedangkan durasi penggunaan fitur tumbuh dan resep juga berpengaruh signifikan berkategori lemah pada pengetahuan dan sikap. Fitur tanya ahli tidak dianalisis pengaruh karena terbatas dalam menjawab pertanyaan pengguna. Aplikasi “Tentang Anak” cukup baik sebagai media literasi pemantauan status gizi bagi ibu baduta berpendidikan tinggi di perkotaan yang bekerja. Namun fitur-fitur dalam aplikasi yang tersedia masih bersifat komunikasi satu arah, fitur “Tanya Ahli” diharapkan lebih interaktif dan responsif memberikan solusi permasalahan gizi dan tumbuh kembang baduta.

Kondisi hiperkolesterolemia bisa menyebabkan peningkatan radikal bebas dalam tubuh, salah satunya adalah malondialdehid (MDA). Probiotik merupakan makanan tambahan yang memiliki efek positif pada kesehatan saluran cerna. Potensi probiotik sebagai antihiperkolesterolemia masih memerlukan studi lebih lanjut.
Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui ada atau tidaknya pengaruh pemberian probiotik terhadap kadar malondialdehid (MDA) aorta abdominal tikus Wistar jantan model hiperkolesterolemia yang diinduksi dengan mentega putih.
Metode: Sembilan belas ekor tikus jantan Wistar dibagi menjadi 5 kelompok; kelompok kontrol negatif (C-), kelompok kontrol positif (C+), dan tiga kelompok probiotik (T1,T2, dan T3). Kelompok kontrol negatif mendapat makanan standar, kelompok positif mendapat makanan standar dan mentega putih. Kelompok probiotik juga mendapat pakan standar dan mentega putih ditambah probiotik dengan dosis berbeda sebagai perlakuan. Perlakuan ini diberikan selama 10 minggu. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan uji Kruskal Wallis dengan post hoc Mann-Whitney.
Hasil: Rerata kadar MDA aorta abdominal terendah ke tertinggi secara berurutan adalah kelompok C- (1,78±0,11 nmol/gram), kelompok T3 (2,20±0,06 nmol/gram), kelompok T2 (3,46±0,16 nmol/gram), kelompok T1 (4,02±0,02 nmol/gram), dan kelompok C+ (5,23±0,51 nmol/gram). Hasil analisis data menunjukkan perbedaan kadar MDA aorta abdominal yang signifikan (p<0,05). Rerata kadar MDA aorta abdominal adalah 1,78 ± 0,11 nmol/gram, 5,23 ± 0,51 nmol/gram, 4,02 ± 0,02 nmol/gram, 3,46 ± 0,16 nmol/gram, dan 2,20 ± 0,06 nmol/gram, berturut-turut untuk kelompok C-, C+, T1, T2, dan T3. Analisis data menunjukkan perbedaan bermakna kadar MDA aorta abdominal (p<0,05).
Kesimpulan: Terdapat penurunan kadar MDA aorta abdominal tikus Wistar jantan yang diinduksi mentega putih setelah pemberian probiotik. Peningkatan dosis probiotik cenderung menurunkan MDA lebih banyak.
Human Rights Violation in India’s Hijab Ban and the Need for Community Advocacy

The Karnataka state government banned the hijab in schools on February 5, 2022, and several women petitioned the Karnataka High Court to overturn it. A panel of three judges concluded on March 15, 2022, that the hijab is not an important Islamic practice. By punishing females for their wardrobe choices, the court stressed conformity above girls' access to education. The hijab prohibition is part of a pattern of discrimination against Muslim women that violates their human rights. With the rise of authoritarianism, a new form of feminism is emerging in which Muslim girls in India are challenging the authorities and resisting asserting their identity and preferences. Previous research has described human rights violations experienced by Indian female students regarding court decisions. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to investigate the human rights violations that have been disclosed as a result of India's hijab ban which employs normative juridical research methodologies. The method refers to a legal research approach that involves the examination of written law from multiple perspectives. The High Court's verdict worsens Muslim girls and women's education-related harassment, trauma, and prejudice. Muslim students removing their hijabs and burqas before entering schools is a difficult topic that requires neutrality. The verdict would affect the Indian Constitution and the Muslim population, especially hijab-wearing women. United Nations (UN) Women has backed all initiatives of India's Ministry of Women and Child Development that seek to advocate for those affected by the hijab ban to promote gender equality and prevent discrimination against women.
Collatz Conjecture Is Analogous to an Inverse Function of Natural Number
Authors: Feng Jishe
Published: June 2024

We introduce a full binary directed tree structure to represent the set of natural numbers, further categorizing them into three distinct subsets: pure odd numbers, pure even numbers, and mixed numbers. We adopt a binary string representation for natural numbers and elaborate on the composite methodology encompassing odd- and even-number functions. Our analysis focuses on examining the iteration sequence (or composition) of the Collatz function and its reduced variant, which serves as an analog to the inverse function, to scrutinize the validity of the Collatz conjecture. To substantiate this conjecture, we incorporate binary strings into an algebraic formula that captures the essence of the Collatz sequence. By this means, we transform discrete powers of 2 into continuous counterparts, ultimately culminating in the smallest natural number, 1. Consequently, the sequence generated through infinite iterations of the Collatz function emerges as an eventually periodic sequence, thereby validating an enduring 87-year-old conjecture.

A dynamic impact test was performed on as-rolled AZ31 alloy with gradient microstructure under various strains. The microstructural evolution and mechanical properties were systematically investigated. As the strain rate gradually increases, an increasing number of twins are formed, facilitating dynamic recrystallization (DRX), and the mechanical properties are also gradually improved as well. The microstructure becomes heterogeneous at higher strain rates, but the peak stress decreases. The impact process results in significantly higher performance due to microstructural refinement, work hardening by dislocations and precipitates. In addition, both the adiabatic shear band and the adjacent crack experience a temperature rise that exceeds the recrystallization temperature of the alloy. This observation also explains the presence of ultrafine recrystallized grains within the adiabatic shear band and the appearance of molten metal around the crack.

Civil construction is one of the oldest known activities in humanity, reports indicate that builders of the Roman Empire already sought the reuse of materials. Currently, considering the depletion of the supply of natural resources, the recycling of solid waste from construction and demolition (CDW), not only provides new products, but also offers ecological and economic alternative. In this context, this research seeks new variables for the disposal of waste from construction and demolition having in the composition of artificial finishing stones an odd possibility to be analyzed. In this research was developed and analyzed a new composite from the construction and demolition waste using as a binder an orthophthalic polyester resin. The residue was sieved and separated by granulometry by the simplex centroid method, the best compacted mixture was determined statically by ANOVA and the Tukey test. The residue was characterized by X-ray fluorescence and the resin by infrared spectroscopy by Fourier transform. Artificial rock plates were produced with 85% residue and 15% resin, by mass, by vibro system, compression and vacuum, later were cut for mechanical, physical and chemical tests. Analysis was performed by scanning electron microscopy of fractured compositions as well as grain sizes. The artificial stone with the best results presented density of 2,256 g/cm3, water absorption of 0.69%, apparent porosity of 1.55%; bending strength of 34.74 MPa and compression of 111.96 MPa; good results in the alterability and thermal tests. In this satisfactory scenario, the use of this waste in the composition of artificial rocks is promising because it directly meets the concept of sustainable development; replacing the concept of end-of-life of the linear economy, by new circular flows of reuse, restoration and renovation, in an integrated process the circular economy; as well as the quality of the final product with properties similar to the artificial rocks already marketed.

Lane detection is a foundational technology for autonomous driving systems. It involves identifying the boundaries of lanes on the road and ensuring the vehicle stays within these boundaries. Accurate lane detection is crucial for safety, navigation and traffic management. This paper presents an artificial intelligent based autonomous road lane detection and navigation system for vehicles. The system can detect and analyze road lanes accurately and efficiently in real-time, with frame rates of up to 17 FPS. By utilizing image processing techniques, the system can identify the location and boundaries of road lanes and obstacles on the road and provide accurate and reliable navigation guidance to the driver. The system is integrated with sensors and actuators to provide comprehensive autonomous navigation. The efficiency of the proposed system is demonstrated using accuracy of lane detection on straight and curve lanes covering frames per second and motor of the speed as parameters for assessment. Results show that the proposed system detects lane as entire lane detection, partial lane detection and no detection status on different settings.

Processes. A View from Inside

Published: June 2024

A processual texture lies at the core of phenomena that undergo change. Philosophers have observed the incessant becoming of our world from antiquity to the present day, but an explanation must still be found in terms of contemporary metaphysics. This article strives to bring the focus on the domain of possibles, an under-theorised philosophical issue that dwells in the ontological realm between the possibility and its actual realization. Sketching a more comprehensive concept of the possible unravelling the thread of its main meanings, the process of change will be not simply clarified from inside, but also understood as an activator of reality. Finally, the discussion will argue for a principle of prudence and responsibility derived from an ontological basis.
Mixed Matrix Organo-Silica-Hydrotalcite Membrane for CO2 Separation Part 2: Permeation and Selectivity Study
Authors: Bünger Lucas , Kurtz Tim , Garbev Krassimir , Stemmermann Peter , Stapf Dieter
Published: June 2024

This study introduces an innovative approach to designing membranes capable of separating CO2 from industrial gas streams at higher temperatures. The novel membrane design seeks to leverage the well-researched high-temperature CO2 adsorbent, hydrotalcite, by transforming it into a membrane. This is achieved by combining it with an amorphous organo-silica-based matrix, extending the polymer-based Mixed Matrix Membrane concept to inorganic compounds. Following the membrane material preparation and investigation of the individual membrane in Part 1 of this study, we examine its permeation and selectivity here. The pure 200 nm thick hydrotalcite membrane exhibits Knudsen behavior due to large intercrystalline pores. In contrast, the organo-silica membrane demonstrates a permselectivity of 13.5 and permeance for CO2 of 1.3 107 mol m2 s1 Pa1 at 25°C, at 150°C the good separation behavior is reduced. Combining both components results in a hybrid microstructure, featuring selective surface diffusion in the microporous regions and unselective Knudsen diffusion in the mesoporous regions. Further attempts to bridge both components to form a purely microporous microstructure are outlined.
Herbicide Uptake (Flashback) in Non-target Hardwood Species Within South Carolina Floodplains
Authors: Peairs Stephen , Timilsina Nilesh
Published: June 2024

Abstract: Herbicide flashback is an undesirable response that results in damage or mortality of non-target plants near chemically treated plants. In severe instances, crop trees can be injured resulting in financial loss or inability to capture management objectives. Land managers need to know the potential limitations of using triclopyr acid (50% solution in water) and what quantity can cause damage to non-target trees (trees not aimed to control via herbicide). Three naturally regenerated (previous clearcut) bottomland hardwood sites, ranging from 14–20 years of age, received partial overstory deadening using Trycera® herbicide. Residual “leave” trees experienced indirect herbicide uptake resulting in some trees either experiencing mortality or partial mortality with top die-back/epicormic branching. An increased probability of damage occurred as tree diameter decreased and the number of treated stems around non-target stems increased. American sycamore, green ash, and sweetgum were most susceptible to flashback. This study examines the unanticipated chemical effect of deadening adjacent stems surrounding residual leave trees in poorly drained soils.
