Published: September 2024

A fruticultura é um dos segmentos da economia brasileira que mais tem se destacado nos últimos anos e continua em plena evolução, com isso, a avaliação da qualidade pós-colheita das frutas diminui os riscos e proporciona maior retorno econômico ao produtor. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar a qualidade física e visual pós-colheita em bananas ‘Prata’, além de identificar visualmente as condições e formas de manejo no comércio do município de Chapadinha, Maranhão. As análises relativas à pós-colheita, foram realizadas em uma penca com 12 bananas ‘Prata’ adquiridas em seis estabelecimentos comerciais presentes no mercado central do município. As bananas foram avaliadas, quanto a qualidade em relação aparência externa e interna, características físicas e manejo da fruta. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise estatística descritiva, determinando-se as médias e desvio para os fatores testados, com auxílio do programa computacional SISVAR. As características dos estabelecimentos comerciais, o manejo e transporte dos produtores influenciaram na aparência interna e externa dos frutos, sendo a maioria classificados em função dos defeitos como Extra. As variáveis comprimento, diâmetro da polpa, espessura da casca e massa fresca total apresentaram valores de médios a baixos ou com diferenças sensíveis dos encontrados na literatura para bananas ‘Prata’. Foi encontrada incidência de manchas e danos mecânicos que comprometeram a aparência externa das bananas comercializadas nos estabelecimentos, indicando baixo investimento em tecnologias de exposição e armazenamento pós-colheita, além de serem transportadas em caixas plásticas amontoadas, aumentando a susceptibilidade dos frutos a danos mecânicos, no geral, nota-se que a qualidade pós-colheita dos frutos é inerente a aplicação de tecnologias.
Is there a Gap Between the Qualities and Abilities that Universities Foster and those Expected by Companies?
Authors: Kurihara Yutaka
Published: September 2024

As research and educational institutions, universities have had a role that must be played universally. Japanese law stipulates that “Universities, as the core of scholarly activities, are to contribute to the development of society by cultivating advanced knowledge and specialized skills, inquiring deeply into the truth to create new knowledge, and broadly offering the fruits of these endeavors to society.” However, with the increase in the number of learners going on to university, the need to respond to the demands of society, especially companies and local communities, has clearly increased compared to the past. Together with the dilution of the view of work and the emergence of diverse needs on the part of learners, universities are increasingly required to cultivate practical knowledge and skills, as well as foster attitudes and motivation for employment. This study analyzes the relationship between the university's evaluation of “ability to act,” “interpersonal ability,” “intellectual and academic ability,” and “originality” on the part of companies, and the evaluation items of the author's classes, namely, the final periodic exam, quizzes, reports, participation in classes, and the degree of pre-study and post-class study. From empirical regressions, a positive and significant relationship is observed for the final exam and so on, but a positive effect was not necessarily observed for some endpoints. Therefore, universities and the business community team up to tackle this expectation gap.

Molecular source tracking (MST) can improve community health by enabling the identification of the source species of fecal bacteria contamination in waterways. However, widespread adoption of this method at a large scale is hindered by the cost of commercial extraction kits and the technical expertise required to use them. We developed a simpler, highly efficient, scalable, accessible, and semi-quantitative method to extract DNA from environmental water samples via heat lysis. After filtering water samples onto a polycarbonate membrane, the membrane is suspended in AE buffer, heated, and then centrifuged. The liquid supernatant is then used directly in quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis. Our filter-heat-spin (FHS) extraction method was then compared to a commercial DNA extraction kit (Qiagen DNeasy). The FHS extraction yielded 5.1 times more DNA (on average) than the traditional extraction kit. Additionally, it maintained identical long-term stability as compared to the kit extraction over a five-week period. Further, the cost per FHS extraction is roughly $0.05 per sample and requires 15 minutes to complete, while the typical kit extraction is roughly $4.48 per sample and requires 50 minutes to complete. The proposed extraction method allows for efficient and inexpensive water sample processing, which in turn, reduces barriers for the implementation of MST techniques.

Published: September 2024

The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs) emphasizes addressing poverty, inequality, environmental sustainability, and economic growth. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a pivotal technology capable of accelerating progress towards these goals. This perspective explores the potential of AI to address environmental, social, and ethical challenges related to the SDGs. The verdicts indicate that AI can significantly enhance healthcare, education, environmental protection, economic growth, and gender equality. Specific applications include renewable energy optimization, waste management, disease detection, personalized education, and the promotion of gender equality. The perspective also highlights the ethical concerns associated with AI development and deployment, such as algorithmic bias, data privacy breaches, and potential job displacement. To mitigate these risks and fully harness AI’s potential, the judgment recommends the implementation of intelligent automation governance systems, professional engagement, educational initiatives, and stringent regulatory frameworks. Achieving the SDGs through AI necessitates a comprehensive, ethical approach that fosters interdisciplinary research, public-private partnerships, AI literacy among the general populace, environmentally sustainable AI policies, and adherence to ethical standards. AI advancements that align with a people-centered, ethical framework for sustainability can significantly accelerate the achievement of the SDGs, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable future.
Beyond Minutiae: Inferring Missing Details from Global Structure in Fingerprints
Authors: Searston Rachel A , Thompson Matthew B , Robson Samuel Gebhard , Tangen Jason Marcus
Published: September 2024

Visual inference involves using prior knowledge and contextual cues to make educated guesses about incomplete or ambiguous information. This study explores the role of visual inference as a function of expertise in the context of fingerprint examination, where professional examiners need to determine whether two fingerprints were left by the same person, or not, often based on limited or impoverished visual information. We compare expert and novice performance on two tasks: inferring the missing details of a print at an artificial blank spot (Experiment 1) and identifying the missing surrounds of a print given only a small fragment of visual detail (Experiment 2). We hypothesized that experts would demonstrate superior performance by leveraging their extensive experience with global fingerprint patterns. Consistent with our predictions, we found that while both experts and novices performed above chance, experts consistently outperformed novices. These findings suggest that expertise in fingerprint examination involves a heightened sensitivity to gist, or global image properties within a print, enabling experts to make more accurate inferences about missing details. These results align with prior research on perceptual expertise in other expert domains, such as radiology, and extend our understanding of scene and face recognition to fingerprint examination. Our findings show that expertise emerges from an ability to combine local and global visual information—experts skillfully process both the fine details and overall patterns in fingerprints. This research provides insight into how perceptual expertise supports accurate visual discrimination in a high-stakes, real-world task with broader implications for theoretical models of visual cognition.
Does Specialization Pay Off? Analyzing the Link Between Research Focus and Academic Career Success
Authors: Wunsch Lisa , Habicht Isabel Maria , Schröder Martin , Lutter Mark
Published: September 2024

Sociological research on careers and organizations suggests that those with a wide range of skills (generalists) are disadvantaged due to the dispersion of their competencies, whereas those with a focused expertise in a specific area (specialists) benefit from a deeper understanding of their domain. This study tests the applicability of these findings to academia, assessing whether scholars with a specialized publication output are more likely to obtain tenure than those with a more generalist output. Using a combination of computational quantitative text analysis of 5497 journal abstracts published along with longitudinal career data covering CV and publication data of sociology professors in German academia, first, we find that a generalist research focus has a positive and statistically significant effect on attaining tenure. In addition, male sociologists derive greater benefits from a generalist publication strategy, whereas female sociologists experience greater advantages from specialization. Second, we disentangle the overall effect into ‘qualitative’ and ‘quantitative’ specialization. Our results show a slight but non-significant advantage for sociologists who focus primarily on publishing quantitative research. Furthermore, results reveal that women in particular profit from a quantitative specialization in sociology.
Time to Accumulate: The Great Migration and the Rise of the American South
Authors: Yang Dongkyu
Published: September 2024

The idea that labor scarcity can induce economic development has been long hypothesized (Hicks, 1932; Habakkuk, 1962), but the evidence is scarce, especially on non-agricultural development. In this paper, I assess the role of the Second Great Migration (1940-1970) on the subsequent structural change in the American South between 1970 and 2010. Empirical results using shift-share instruments show that out-migration incentivized physical capital investment and capital-augmenting technical change, increasing capital and output per worker in both agriculture and manufacturing at least until 2010. Labor reallocated from agriculture to nonagriculture. I then develop and calibrate a dynamic spatial equilibrium model that allows substitution between factors of production, factor-biased technical change, and Heckscher–Ohlin forces in trade. The quantitative results indicate that the adjustments to the Second Great Migration could have contributed to 7% of the total decrease in agricultural employment between 1940 and 2010 in the South. The contribution analyses suggest that labor-capital substitution played a leading role in economic adjustment to the migration, with capital-biased technical change and the quasi-Rybczynski effect playing important supplementary roles.
Employment uncertainty and entry into parenthood – Trends among Finnish cohorts
Authors: Jalovaara Marika , Rahnu Leen , Miettinen Anneli
Published: September 2024

Previous studies in the Nordic context report a positive association between a stronger labor market attachment and entry into parenthood (i.e., first birth), but the association is stronger for men than for women, and it is modified by educational attainment and life-course stage. This study asks whether and how the relationship between employment status and entry into parenthood has changed for women and men born in Finland in the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s. We first examine how the life-course situations in which women and men make decisions on entering parenthood have changed across cohorts. We use total population register data and event history methods and compare cohorts that differ, for example, in terms of the macroeconomic conditions they encountered during their young adulthood. Our results show that employment uncertainty, measured as unemployment, has not increased across cohorts. Women and men who are (still) childless are increasingly combining studies and paid employment. The positive association between a stronger labor market attachment and entry into parenthood has remained unchanged, while a cohort trend towards delayed or foregone entry into parenthood occurs regardless of labor market status. To tackle Finland’s exceptionally low fertility rates at the policy level, we emphasize the need to design policies that better target women and men in different life situations.
Exploring Entrepreneurial English in Digital Information: Harmonizing News Headlines with their Introductions in Phoenix
Authors: Akinola Adeyemi Adewale , Anana Mariam
Published: September 2024

Entrepreneurial English is very necessary in digital information. This study investigates the place of digital copywriting in harmonizing news headlines and introductions of news in Phoenix. Data were randomly selected from recent news headlines and their introductions. Qualitative research design, Harold Hassell (1949)’s Model of communication and Summative Content Analysis were adopted as research design and theoretical frameworks. The result shows that all news headlines and their introductions in Phoenix capture control analysis, content analysis, medial analysis and effect analysis but some lack audience analysis. Results also show that five (5) headlines and five (5) introductions attracted the attention of the readers because of their contents and contexts; eight (8) were not attention-catching, and two (NH7 and I7) defined their attractiveness due to the audience decisions/choices. Only six (6) items were grammatical while (14) were not. However, copywriting is copiously relegated to the background in digital information on Phoenix. Online information should be written by copywriters so as to minimize or eradicate linguistics blunders of all sorts.

Authors: Pandey Parbati , Madhusudhan Margam
Published: September 2024

Purpose: The proficiency of ICT-skilled and competent personnel plays a crucial role in delivering library services to globally connected users. However, amidst rapidly evolving technological landscapes and the diverse perceptions of hybrid users, Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals face the challenge of keeping pace with their communities' and institutions' expected ICT competencies. Additionally, there is a growing need for LIS professionals to possess diverse skill sets and competencies. Thus, this research aims to explore LIS professionals' ICT skills and competencies across various dimensions through a comprehensive literature review.
Design/methodology/approach: - This study utilized a systematic literature review (SLR) following the PRISMA framework. Three major databases (Scopus, Web of Science, and Pro Quest LISA) were selected for data collection. 2114 articles were initially identified using a Boolean search strategy, supplemented by 05 articles from the researcher's collection from 2020 to March 2024. Subsequently, 21 research articles were meticulously selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. End Note online and MS Excel were employed for efficient article screening.
Findings: - Most selected articles predominantly employed quantitative research methodologies, often questionnaire instruments. Notably, contributions from Nigeria and Pakistan, along with the journal Library Philosophy and Practice, stood out in terms of research output. While most LIS professionals demonstrate proficiency in basic computer operations and digital literacy, a notable deficiency in advanced ICT skills is crucial for contemporary library services. Common avenues for skill enhancement include participation in conferences, workshops, training sessions, and seminars. However, several obstacles hinder skill development, including limited funding, lack of organizational support, inadequate training opportunities, subpar infrastructure, absence of policies, time constraints, and passive attitudes among staff. Notably, there is a pronounced need for training in technology management for intelligent libraries. Continuous Education Programs (CEP) and Professional Development Programs (PDP) enhance overall staff proficiency, underscoring the importance of organizational support in facilitating skill development initiatives.
Research limitations/implications: - This study is limited by the selection of databases and the predefined search criteria. However, it provides valuable insights into LIS professionals' current status, skills, and competencies, thereby guiding the identification of areas requiring targeted training interventions.
Originality: - By shedding light on LIS professionals' ICT skills and competencies, this study serves as a valuable resource for assessing training needs and informing strategic interventions to enhance library personnel's capabilities.
Space of Library in Post-Method Pedagogy
Authors: Guragain Keshav
Published: September 2024

A library is a source of knowledge in which varied learning resources are found under a single roof. It is also a space for new experiments and innovations. On the other hand, Post method pedagogy is an emerging issue in teaching and learning. For now, new teaching approaches, methods, and techniques have come into existence. The reason behind it is to fill the gaps left by the previous methods. In other words, existing methods could not be able to represent the ways of teaching the learning process at that time. Gradually, new methods came into existence. Post method pedagogy has come up with a solution for the 21st century. This article has tried to dig out the point where the DNA of post-method pedagogy and the purpose of library use are found in the point of teaching and learning. Furthermore, this article expects to flag the concept of linking up the library and library materials with post-method pedagogy.

A well-conducted literature review fosters a deeper understanding of the field, promotes methodological rigor, and ensures that new research builds upon a solid foundation of existing knowledge, thereby advancing the field of English Language Teaching (ELT) and applied linguistics. This article explores the integral role of literature reviews in research, particularly in the field of English Language Teaching (ELT), highlighting their importance in avoiding redundancy, situating new research within a coherent framework, and guiding methodological choices.
uso de las palabras autonomía, autoctonía, dependencia y la idealización de la historia prehispánica en la explicación de la historia peruana
Authors: HEREDIA NEYRA JUAN JOSÉ
Published: September 2024

El presente ensayo analiza cómo los intelectuales de izquierda y cercanos a ella utilizan y movilizan las nociones de autoctonía, autonomía y dependencia de acuerdo a los intereses del presente, para demostrar que la peruanidad se encarna en el pasado prehispánico, especialmente en la era incaica. Crean una imagen idealizada del período prehispánico y simplifican la historia peruana. Según este discurso, el Perú experimentó autonomía antes de España, para luego entrar en una dependencia que aún subsiste en el país. En consecuencia, se reclama la verdadera independencia del país, donde el rol principal recae en el indígena en detrimento del resto de las etnias peruanas.

Published: September 2024

The paper considers information wars that are part of modern hybrid conflicts. They were analyzed using computer models that implement the process of information dissemination in social communities. The typology of the most relevant and cited tools made possible to find an effective algorithm for implementing the authors’ agent-oriented model that takes into account individual characteristics of people and allows differentiated assessment of the impact of information messages only on a certain group. Within the framework of computational experiments, the speed of information dissemination in the constructed digital twin of a social network was estimated depending on the change in the number of opinion leaders and the number of initially informed agents, as well as on the decrease in the average level of reputation of network agents. The instrument designed may be used separately, as well as along within the complex models, including demographic and economic components.
Forecasting income and expenses of the Social Fund of Russia on compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with motherhood
Authors: Udod V. A. , Kasacheva O. V.
Published: September 2024

The article provides a brief description of the activities of the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation (SIFR) until its merger (January 1, 2023) with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation into the unified Social Fund of Russia (SFR). The object of the study was compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity, and the subject of the study was an evaluation of the balance in the short term of the SFR budget for this type of insurance. A mathematical model is proposed for forecasting the income and expenses of the SFR for this type of insurance. To construct the mathematical model the data from reports on the implementation of the SIFR budget for the periods from 2008 to 2022 was used. A second-order linear homogeneous system of ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients was used as the basic mathematical apparatus. The model obtained was tested for adequacy. At the same time the model demonstrated high approximation accuracy and good retro-forecast accuracy. Based on the constructed model, a forecast of the indicated expenses and incomes for 2023–2025 was designed, from which it follows that in a given period, expenses will exceed incomes. Based on the results obtained, some recommendations are given to eliminate (reduce) the potential destabilization of the SFR budget for this type of insurance.
Portfolio constructions in the stock market based on data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis
Authors: Teplova T. V. , Sokolova T. V. , Haniev A. I.
Published: September 2024

The study compares the results of applying the parametric method of Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and the non-parametric Bias-corrected Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for forming integrated stock selection metrics in portfolios based on diverse financial and non-financial indicators of U.S. issuing companies. The authors implement a novel approach in which “input” and “output” indicators for both stochastic frontier analysis and data envelopment analysis models are pre-selected using regression analysis. Deviations of identified company indicators from median industry values are considered. Significant characteristics in explaining stock returns include board size, proportion of independent directors, board meetings attendance, and among financial and market characteristics — the net debt to EBITDA ratio and past stock returns (momentum-effect). It is demonstrated that portfolios consisting of 20–30 securities, constructed on the authors’ integrated metrics, outperform in terms of returns and risk–return ratio compared to the SP 500 index and an equal-weighted portfolio of all considered stocks. The stability of conclusions is verified through comparison with randomly generated portfolios (Monte Carlo method). The obtained results remain stable for both the pre-Covid-19 pandemic period (2008–2019) and the period including the pandemic and geopolitical tensions from 2020 to 2022. From 2008 to 2019, portfolios created using the data envelopment analysis method were more effective than those based on stochastic frontier analysis models.

Published: September 2024

Let n,m ∈ ℕ with n,m ≥ 2. For given unit vectors x1, ・ ・ ・ , xn of a real Banach space E, we define NA(L(nE))(x1, ・ ・ ・ , xn) = {T ∈ L(nE) : |T(x1, ・ ・ ・ , xn)| = ∥T∥ = 1}, where L(nE) denotes the Banach space of all continuous n-linear forms on E endowed with the norm ∥T∥ = sup∥xk∥=1,1≤k≤n |T(x1, . . . , xn)|. In this paper, we present a characterization of the elements in the set NA(L(mℓn1 ))(W1, ・ ・ ・ ,Wm) for any given unit vectors W1, . . . ,Wm ∈ ℓn1 , where ℓn1 = ℝn with the ℓ1-norm. This result generalizes the results from [7], and two particular cases for it are presented in full detail: the case n = 2, m = 2, and the case n = 3, m = 2.

Interaksi antara Tata Kelola Perusahaan (CG) dan Tanggung Jawab Sosial Perusahaan (CSR) telah menjadi titik fokus penelitian ilmiah, terutama mengenai dampaknya terhadap perilaku perusahaan seperti penghindaran pajak dan manajemen laba. Penelitian ini memberikan tinjauan komprehensif terhadap literatur yang ada untuk menjelaskan pengaruh CG dan CSR terhadap penghindaran pajak dan praktik manajemen laba. Kajian ini menyoroti mekanisme di mana kerangka kerja tata kelola perusahaan yang kuat dapat memitigasi strategi pajak yang agresif dan manipulasi laba yang tidak etis. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga mengeksplorasi bagaimana inisiatif CSR dapat meningkatkan transparansi dan standar etika perusahaan, sehingga mengurangi kecenderungan untuk melakukan penghindaran pajak dan manajemen laba. Penelitian ini mengintegrasikan temuan-temuan dari berbagai konteks geografis dan berbagai industri, yang menawarkan pemahaman holistik tentang bagaimana CG dan CSR secara bersama-sama berkontribusi terhadap perilaku etis perusahaan. Temuan-temuannya menggarisbawahi pentingnya struktur tata kelola yang ketat dan kebijakan CSR yang proaktif dalam mendorong integritas dan akuntabilitas perusahaan. Kajian ini juga mengidentifikasi kesenjangan dalam literatur saat ini dan mengusulkan arah untuk penelitian di masa depan untuk memperdalam pemahaman tentang efek sinergis CG dan CSR pada praktik etika perusahaan.
