Foreign / World Literature: The Problem of Nominative Definition
Authors: Kalynych Kateryna
Published: January 2023

The terminological load of the phrase “foreign / world literature” is outlined. The attention is focused on the semantic, cultural-historical, epistemological features of this concept. Literature as a verbal art, being formed since the time of oral folk creativity, reflects the corresponding established canon in the national expression, accordingly, the dynamics of the world literary process. It is emphasized that the development of national literatures had strengthened the nature of explicit-implicit literary relationships. It contributed to the formation of new genres, artistic tastes, as well as to the expansion of the recipient`s worldview, and, accordingly, literary concepts. Controversial interpretations of Goethe’s term “Weltliteratur” are considered: supporters who perceived literature as one general world synthesis (F. Moretti) and scientists who predicted the collapse of the views of the German classics (E. Auerbach). The scientific discourse of the 20th century is assumed. Diverse interpretations of the “world literature” paradigm is understood as a collection of all works from antiquity to modern times; an anthology of the best literary texts (a kind of canonization); as a high-quality cultural and intellectual mutual enrichment. The significant contribution to the formation of the “world / foreign literature” paradigm of comparative studies and sociocultural research is emphasized (the works of P. Sorokin, O. Biletsky, L. Gumilyov, G. Gachev, D. Dyuryshin, A. Volkov of the Chernivtsi TPI School). Outlining the term world / foreign literature in the general literary process, the modern concepts of Western literary critics (E. Auerbach, P. Casanova, K. Prado and T. Samuayo, F. Moretti, D. Damrosch, R. Thomsen, J. David, N. Esenlilioglu, S. Uhliga and C. Zhang) are assumed. It is concluded that the diversity of the interpretation of the term “world / universal / foreign” literature directly depends on the historical, cultural and epistemological approaches to considering this issue; however, for all researchers there are common criteria for the nominative definition of the given paradigm – comprehensiveness, canons of a certain method, anthropological value, and participation in globalization processes.

Novel methods to design wild bacteriophages into highly lytic and therapeutic bacteriophages to extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Authors: Abdulamir Ahmed S.
Published: January 2023

Background: The emergence of multiple drug resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.TB) and extensive drug resistant (XDR) M.TB lay huge burden on TB endemic countries such as Iraq.Objectives: Bacteriophage (phage) therapy can be used as alternative approach to tackle this problem. Patients and methods: Forty isolates of M.TB were cultured from TB-positive sputum specimens with three ATCC strains. Phage passaging and biokinetic based techniques were used to optimize wild anti-M.TB phages. Three chemical, non genetic- designing techniques, tween-80, mycobacterial lysis buffer, and xyelen, were used to change the specificity of wild anti-TB phages towards phage-resistant target M.TB.Results: Five wild anti-M.TB phages were isolated and optimized. The optimization techniques were successful in enhancing plaques size, clarity, burst size, and infective ratio. Chemical designing techniques succeeded to reorient specificity of 6 phages to new host bacteria.Conclusions: phage designing opens door wide for endless future applications of phage-based therapy, biocontrol and diagnosis.

Published: January 2023

Linseed is an oilseed crop that is widely used in human and animal feed, as a cover crop in agroecosystems, and for fiber production. To facilitate the management of weeds in the crop, this study aimed to evaluate potential selective herbicides for linseed cultivation applied in pre-planting and incorporation (PPI), pre-emergence (PRE), and early (POST) and late (late POST) post-emergence stages, since there are presently no herbicides registered for use on linseed in Brazil. Therefore, four experiments were conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications, and five (exp. 1), 21 (exp. 2), 26 (exp. 3), and four (exp. 4) treatments. Crop injury and the fresh and dry matter of the plants were evaluated. Experiment 4 was conducted until seed production, and data on the final height, number of capsules, and yield were obtained. The results were characterized by the low selectivity of herbicides during pre-emergence, whether incorporated or not, and indicated 11 herbicides with potential selectivity in post-emergence, whether early or late, namely: bentazon, bentazon + imazamox, clethodim + fenoxaprop, clethodim, flumiclorac, fluazifop, flumioxazin, haloxyfop, nicosulfuron, tembotrione, and tepraloxydim. Linseed is demonstrated to be susceptible to or has low tolerance to various herbicides.

Authors: Sekwati Dimakatso , Dagume Mbulaheni Albert
Published: January 2023

The key macroeconomic objectives being pursued by any developing country are low unemployment, low inflation, and sustainable growth. The main aim of this study was to analyze the effect of unemployment and inflation on economic growth in South Africa for the period of 1994 to 2018, using quarterly data. The results of the unit root test using the Augmented Dickey Fuller and Phillips Perron tests showed that all the variables have a unit root in levels and became stationary after first differencing. The Johansen co-integration test outcomes showed that there is a long-run relationship among variables, and the Vector error correlation model confirmed that inflation and unemployment have a negative impact on economic growth. Furthermore, the results of the tests for White Heteroskedasticity, Jarque -Bera and Serial correlation LM reveal that there is no problem of Heteroskedasticity, data distribution or serial correlation respectively. The government should implement workable pricing regulations and enforce them to maintain stable price levels. The government should also through the Department of Higher Education and Training, establish a structure that connects the educational system with the industries in South Africa, allowing for the development of skills at the tertiary level and increasing employment.
Stock Market Liquidity during Periods of Distress and its Implications: Evidence from International Financial Markets
Authors: Enow Samuel Tabot
Published: January 2023

Traditional market pricing models assume frictionless markets with abundant liquidity. This traditional models also incorporate stock market liquidity as an exogenous cost. However, this paradigm has many shortcomings due to its inability to explain some of the problems associated with security market illiquidity. The aim of this study was to explore the concept of stock market liquidity during periods of financial distress. A Markov switching GARCH model was used to investigate market liquidity in the CAC 40, DAX, JSE, Nasdaq Index and the Nikkei-225 during the 2007-2008 financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic. The sample period was January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 and December 1, 2007 to June 30, 2009. From the findings, some financial markets where still liquid despite the financial crisis with the exception of the Nasdaq index. Conversely, all the financial markets under consideration displayed strong illiquidity during the covid-19 pandemic. In essence, the level of market depth has significantly decreased from the financial crisis to the covid-19 pandemic which may be attributed to increasing margin requirements and information asymmetry as well as price restrictions. There is an urgent need for regulatory authorities to review some of the trading regulations during financial distress.
Technological Change, Growth and Income Inequality
Authors: Wahiba Nasfi Fkili , Dina Mahmoudi
Published: January 2023

This paper aims to demonstrate the links between inequality, economic growth and technological change. The latter combined with human capital distinguishes between skilled and unskilled workers which leads to rising inequality. Thus, we analyse the theoretical and empirical links between growth, technological change, school enrolment, openness, unemployment and income inequality. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to show that technological change is one of the key elements of economic growth and inequality dynamics. It is a channel through which human capital influences economic growth and also inequality. We are conducting an econometric study for a set of African countries in order to answer these questions: What is the impact of economic growth and technological change on inequality? What is the impact of income inequality on economic growth? What is the effect of openness and technological change on economic growth?

Published: January 2023

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the relationship between petroleum energy volatility and commodity prices in Ghana, which are indexed (energy grains, meat, and cooking oil), as well as to provide an empirical specification of the impact's direction. With reference to time series literature, the paper examined energy and commodity price connection models such as augmented dickey fuller, granger causality, co-integration, vector autoregressive and the vector error correction models used in estimating the association among petroleum energy volatility and the three selected commodity variables. The paper found that, there is a long run relationship between petroleum energy volatility and commodity prices in Ghana from 2011 to 2022. A single equation error correction model suggested that, petroleum energy shocks increase prices of grains, meat and cooking oil in both the short and long run. Impulse response function and variance decomposition conducted on the variables also suggested that there is both short and long run association between the variables.

Authors: Sertoglu Kamil , Esendagli Irfan
Published: January 2023

This study generally analyses the livestock sector in the TRNC and the red meat sector in particular. The historical overview and economic structure of the TRNC show the importance of the agricultural sector for the TRNC. In order to understand the red meat sector in general, first the international red meat sector is examined shortly and then the red meat sector in the TRNC is analysed. The research data rely on a descriptive analysis based on the interpretation of primary and secondary data from the official websites of the Ministry of Agriculture of Northern Cyprus and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). TRNC does not have a liberal economy and import of red meat is strictly forbidden to the country. However, recently, discussions regarding liberalising the import of red meat led to further discussion of the problems experienced in red meat production and the factors affecting costs of production. The decision to import red meat supports the depth of existing problems in this field today. This study aims to reveal the necessity of policies that will bring possible solutions to overcome the structural problems in the red meat sector.

Canadian and Iranian Graduate Students' Conceptions of Critical Thinking: A Comparative Study
Authors: Ojaghi shirmard Farzaneh
Published: January 2023

This study compares Canadian and Iranian international students’ conceptions of critical thinking during their graduate studies in Canada. Critical thinking is an essential skill in Canadian higher education. It enables students to make reasoned judgments from their observations and experimentation. This narrative inquiry using open-ended interviews describes the narratives of eight students from different master’s programs at a university in western Canada to examine their experiences and notions of critical thinking. The preliminary findings reveal that while all Canadian participants had knowledgeable perspectives about critical thinking, Iranian participants required more knowledge to build their critical thinking conceptualizations. Moreover, content knowledge, instructors’ competence, and teaching methods significantly influenced students’ critical thinking development. Results offer a comprehensive understanding of how Canadian higher institutions and curriculum developers need to provide appropriate opportunities and curricula for cultivating and developing critical thinking among local students while paying attention to Iranian students’ needs and academic preparedness.

O “FATOR DEUS” EM JOSÉ SARAMAGO
Authors: Pinto Porfírio
Published: January 2023

Deus é uma personagem importante (e omnipresente) na obra de Saramago. Mas será apenas uma figura de ficção? Mesmo afirmando-se não crente, José Saramago reconhece-se como um produto do cristianismo e tem consciência de que milhares de seres humanos acreditam em Deus, ou no transcendente. A sua luta, portanto não é com Deus — que para ele não existe —, mas com os intermediários de Deus: as religiões e os líderes religiosos. Todavia, como ele gostaria que Deus existisse e interviesse, indignado, para confrontar o ser humano — que já perdeu essa capacidade de indignação – com a própria ideia de humanidade! A esse ponto nos provoca o Nobel português.Palavras-chave: ateísmo, Deus, humanismo, indignação, religião

Community of analysis mitigation and adaptation to the flood disaster overload of Lake Tempe, Wajo Regency
Authors: Reza Andi Muhammad , Chaerul Muhammad , Gusty Sry
Published: January 2023

In South Sulawesi, Wajo Regency is one of the areas prone to flooding during the rainy season. Floods that occur in the area cause inundation. The inundation that occurred was caused by the overflow of Lake Tempe. This research was conducted in Laelo Village, Tempe District, which is located around the Tempe Lake Coast. This location was chosen purposively with the consideration that the area has become a frequent flood in the western part of the kelurahan (the part near the lake). The village has a low contour in the west and high in the east. The research design is descriptive and qualitative which aims to describe the state or status of the phenomenon. The purpose of the research is to analyze the forms of adaptation and mitigation that will be carried out by communities in flood-affected areas. This research uses field surveys, in-depth interviews, making field notes, and documentation. The data collection method was carried out using purposive sampling because the desired sample in the study was only people living in the coastal area of the lake, namely in Laelo Village which was only affected by flooding, not the entire Laelo Village community. Data analysis techniques in qualitative descriptive research are carried out with interactive analysis in the form of cycles. Data analysis was carried out simultaneously with the implementation process of data collection. The results of interviews with the community show that they understand that flooding is an ordinary natural phenomenon which is an overflow of a lake, but they do not know why there is a flood. Some people who live on the shores of the lake feel that almost every year they are exposed to floods from the lake. Where the form of adaptation they do is to raise the pole of the house and prepare a boat that is moored under the house to be used as a means of transportation in the event of a flood. Several forms of mitigation that have been carried out are water hyacinth retaining embankments, and making taller bridges with concrete connecting roads from house to house. Information has been found regarding evacuation signs with the evacuation route installed, the mosque is used as a place to disseminate information related to the incident and development of the flood. It is better to form a disaster-resilient village in the area to create an area that is more prepared to face disasters.

Published: January 2023

The growth of housing in Indonesia has been very significant in recent years.   The most found type of house is type 36. One of the areas with high purchasing power for housing is the Kendal Regency, which became the object of this study. Often housing projects experience delays caused by internal and external factors that can interfere with the duration of the initial planning. The effort that can be made to maintain the level of progress of the project is by acceleration. The optimal cost of the project due to the reduction in duration can be completed by acceleration techniques (Crashing) as linear programming models.   In this study, Crashing and Linear Programming methods were chosen to optimize the value of adding costs to accelerate three samples of housing. Housing A, Housing B, and Housing C. The data collected is in the form of RAB, scheduling, and other supporting documents. Linear programming in this study using LINDO software. The plan to accelerate the construction of type 36 housing is carried out using alternative overtime working hours, adding 1, 2 and 4 working hours on critical activities of each project. The optimum time is selected based on the smallest cost slope value from the program crashing calculation. The result is shown that in housing A the most optimal addition was 2 hours of overtime with a total extra cost of Rp.   54,643,600 and a total acceleration of 15 days. In housing B, the optimum value of time and cost is by adding 4 hours of overtime with a total additional cost of Rp.   21,644,140 with a 27-day acceleration. In housing C, the development optimizes by adding 4 hours of overtime at an additional cost of Rp.   74,587,900 with a 29-day acceleration.

Authors: Utami Martha Rosdiana , Setiawan Bakti
Published: January 2023

Park as a public space is widely recognized in the global agenda to meet the targets of sustainable development goals in SDGs 3 and SDGs 11 to make cities and settlements healthy, inclusive, resilient and sustainable through the provision of Green Open Space (GOS). The commitment of Indonesian Government related to GOS is stated in the laws, the standard states that GOS in urban areas is 30% of the total area in which 12.5% is contained as a park in every settlement scale. Currently, Salatiga City has 4 parks with an average area of below 24,000 m2 and there are several residence and settlement-scale parks with an area below 250 m2. The purpose of this study is to determine park quantity against the needs, availability, and affordability. This study used a Geographic Information System (GIS) approach with a network analysist. Data collection method used questionnaire, observation and document review. The study showed (1) Based on the comparison between the existing needs and conditions of parks from 23 sub-districts, there were 9 sub-districts that had not met it 2) Based on the network analysis, the service affordability of 4 parks was only 57.53% of the urban area that had been served by parks, most of the areas in Argomulyo District had not been served. This study is a new study on park performance assessment with spatial analysis so future park development prioritizes areas that have a value gap between existing needs and conditions and have not been afforded by park service areas. The results of this study can be taken into consideration in the future development of park with a comprehensive analysis and database

Published: January 2023

Air fresheners or AC (Air Conditioning) systems are increasingly becoming a necessity for urban communities and the industrial world in Jakarta. AC functions to cool industrial rooms, offices and homes. The PT CI Electronic Industry Building, has not yet installed an air conditioning system so that the production room is not comfortable for its employees. The purpose of installing air conditioning in the industrial building is to increase employee comfort and productivity. In installing an air conditioning (AC) system in the industrial building, design data and cooling load analysis are required. Therefore it is necessary to study the design of industrial air conditioners at PT CI by calculating the cooling load, calculating the required electrical power in order to determine the size and type of air conditioner needed. The research methodology starts from determining industrial building data, such as what tools and machines are in the room, the area of the room and the room wall materials, then analyzing the cooling load, determining the power of the cooling machine and determining the cooling system used. From the results of the cooling load analysis in the Electronics Industry building at PT CI, the total load on floors 1 and 2 was 709 kW, or 201,6 TR, including sensible load: 705.83 kW and Latin load: 3.03 kW. The refrigerant used by the AC R 134a engine. The compressor power is 356 HP. Medium large COP 2.8. The cooling system chosen is the central air conditioning system.
Anti-predator defenses are linked with high levels of genetic differentiation in frogs
Authors: Medina Iliana , Dong Caroline , Marquez Roberto , Perez Daniela , Wang Ian , Stuart-Fox Devi
Published: January 2023

Predator-prey interactions have been suggested as drivers of diversity in different lineages, and the presence of anti-predator defences in some clades is linked to higher rates of diversification. Warning signals are some of the most widespread defenses in the animal world, and there is evidence of higher diversification rates in aposematic lineages. The mechanisms behind such species richness, however, are still unclear. Here, we test whether lineages that use aposematism as anti-predator defense exhibit higher levels of genetic differentiation between populations, leading to increased opportunities for divergence. We collated from the literature > 3,000 pairwise genetic differentiation values across more than 700 populations from over 60 amphibian species. We find evidence that, given the same geographic distance, populations of species of aposematic lineages exhibit greater genetic divergence relative to species that are not aposematic. Our results support a scenario where the use of warning signals could restrict dispersal of individuals, and suggest that anti-predator defences could impact gene flow levels between populations and potentially have effects at a macro-evolutionary scale.

The students attended Twigs and scout coaches’ training on scout groups throughout the pandemic. They also did the practice putting Tri Satya and Dhasa Dharma into practice in daily life. Students administered and applied the General Proficiency Requirements’ points. They played active roles in the quiz competition, which seeks to build a culture of sportsmanship and leadership, improving their capacity to communicate in a forum, acquire knowledge, assume responsibility, and gain experience. The scout members also practice developing a sense of leadership in their communities at home. They practiced serving as the prayer leader in the mosque, the imam of home prayers, and guided their younger ones to recite Quran. This research recommends that virtual-based scouting activities can be applied in all schools with more variations of programs and more appreciation for the students’ leadership improvement.

Dalam pelaksanaan perkawinan, masing-masing suku memiliki adat istiadat tersendiri.  Dari sekian banyak tradisi yang masih dipertahankan oleh masyarakat adat dayak dikalimantan Tengah salah satunya adalah kepercayaan dalam melakukan hitungan /bilangan seperti penentuan hari pernikahan, dimana pada penentuan ini masyarakat bertanya kepada sesepuh adat atau keluarga tertua yang faham agar mencari bulan dan tanggal yang baik melalui hitungan/bilangan untuk melangsungkan perkawinan serta untuk menggambarkan perekonomian dan kehidupan. adapun yang menjadi pokok masalah dalam penelitian ini pertama, bahwa sebagian masyarakat dayak di Desa Mangkahui Kecamatan Murung Kabupaten Murung Raya yang kental akan tradisi meyakini dan memahami bahwa adanya hitungan/bilangan perkawinan menentukan waktu yang baik untuk melaksanakan pernikahan kemudian kedua, adanya bilangan perkawinan adat dayak meyakini bisa menggambarkan perekonomian dan kehidupan mendatang.

Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian lapangan yang bersifat perspektif-analitik. Dalam menganalisis permasalahan yang ada penyusun menggunakan metode analisis data kualitatif dengan menggunakan cara berfikir induktif yaitu dengan meneliti praktek perhitungan/bilangan dalam pernikahan secara khusus, kemudian praktek tersebut dianalisis secara deduktif dengan menggunakan pendekatan normatif, apakah praktek perhitungan bilangan pada masyarakat adat dayak di Desa Mangkahui Kecamatan Murung Kabupaten Murung Raya Kalimantan Tengah tersebut sudah sesuai dengan hukum islam dengan berpegang teguh pada dalil-dalil Al-Qur’an maupun Hadits.

Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa tradisi perhitungan/bilangan masyarakat adat dayak di Desa Mangkahui Kecamatan Murung Kabupaten Murung Raya dalam pernikahan di pahami sebagai syarat yang harus dilakukan sebelum pernikahan, dan apabila tidak terpenuhi maka akan berdampak mudharat pada prosesi pelaksanaan pernikahan serta perekonomian dan kehidupan mendatang setelah perkawinan. Dalam Islam penentuan hari pernikahan tidak terdapat nash khusus yang menyebutkan baik dalam Al-qur’an dan Hadits Nabi SAW karena semua hari baik, serta tidak ada yang tau nasib dan takdir perekonomian dan kehidupan yang akan datang kecuali Allah SWT. tapi sebagai manusia yang beriman dan bertaqwa tentunya mempunyai harapan, punya ekspektasi, punya target diperlukan menjadi cara hidup kita lebih efektif, lebih terarah.

Abstract: One of the institutions that stated the poor handling of Covid-19 in Indonesia was the Lowy Institute. On March 13, 2021, Lowy Institute put Indonesia in 89th rank out of 102 countries that were successfully surveyed regarding the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. This research is an attempt to critique the Lowy Institute's assessment. The COPRAS-AHP hybrid method was used. The AHP method, especially in the pairwise comparison section, is used as a method to determine the validity of the criterion weights. Five criteria were used in determining the ranking of the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic in countries in the Southeast Asian region. Each criterion is given a weight that is determined subjectively but by considering the level of importance of each criterion. The weighting of the criteria by using pairwise comparison resulted in: test per population, positive per test, vaccine per population, recovered per positive, deaths per positive. This study produces conclusions that are not much different from the Lowy Institute release. Indonesia is one of the countries where the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic is at a low level, Indonesia is ranked 10th out of 11 countries in the Southeast Asia region, with a utility value 16.29%.            Keywords: AHP; COPRAS; covid-19;pairwise comparison; ranking Abstrak: Salah satu lembaga yang menyatakan buruknya penanganan Covid-19 di Indonesia adalah Lowy Institute. Pada 13 Maret 2021 menempatkan Indonesia di peringkat 89 dari 102 negara yang berhasil disurvei berkenaan dengan penanganan pandemi Covid-19. Penelitian ini merupakan upaya kritisi terhadap penilaian Lowy Institute. Digunakan metode hibrid COPRAS-AHP. Metode AHP, khususnya pada bagian pairwise comparison digunakan sebagai metode untuk menentukan validitas bobot kriteria. Digunakan lima kriteria dalam menentukan pemeringkatan penanganan pandemi Covid-19 pada negara-negara di kawasan Asia Tenggara. Masing-masing kriteria diberikan bobot yang ditentukan secara subjektif namun dengan mempertimbangkan tingkat kepentingan masing-masing kriteria. Pembobotan kriteria dengan menggunakan pairwise comparison menghasilkan: kriteria tes per populasi, positif per tes, vaksin per populasim, sembuh per positif, meninggal per positif. Penelitian ini menghasilkan kesimpulan yang tidak jauh berbeda dengan rilis Lowy Institute. Indonesia adalah salah satu negara dengan penanganan pandemi Covid-19 berada dalam level yang relatif rendah, peringkat 10 dari 11 negara di kawasan Asia Tenggara, dengan nilai utilitas 16,29 %. Kata kunci: AHP; COPRAS; covid-19; pairwise comparison; pemeringkatan
WEB-BASED CLUSTER OPTIMIZATION USING K-MEDOIDS AND DAVIES BOULDIN INDEX
Authors: Christian Ryan , Jollyta Deny
Published: January 2023

Abstract: Clustering data has always been a fascinating subject to research numerous perspectives. A variety of knowledge is produced by the calculating process utilizing various algorithms. The genesis of cluster optimization is based on differences of opinion about the cluster's results. In general, cluster and optimization findings are generated using software such as Matlab, RapidMiner, and programming languages like Python. Users, however, have not been satisfied with the results so far. The various outcomes are the primary motivations for continuing to create and develop applications. The goal of this research is to create an application that can evaluate cluster data using the K-Medoids method, which can then be further optimized using the Davies Bouldin Index (DBI). Because the target application is students and lecturers who use it in learning and observers of the cluster field, the application can indeed be accessible through a browser to make it easier to use. For ease of using it, the program is available on both desktop and mobile platforms. Through separately created applications, it is intended that this research will give an alternative to clustering and optimization.            Keywords: application, cluster, dbi, k-medoids, optimization  Abstrak: Clusterisasi data selalu menjadi topik yang menarik untuk dikembangkan dari berbagai sisi. Proses perhitungannya yang menggunakan berbagai algoritma menghasilkan knowledge yang beragam. Perbedaan pendapat terhasil hasil cluster menjadi dasar munculnya optimalisasi cluster. Umumnya hasil cluster dan optimalisasi diperoleh dari pengolahan menggunakan aplikasi yakni Matlab, RapidMiner, dan bahasa pemrograman seperti Pyhton. Namun demikian hasil yang muncul belum mampu memuaskan pengguna. Hasil yang berbeda menjadi alasan utama pembuatan maupun pengembangan aplikasi masih terus dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membangun sebuah aplikasi yang dapat memproses data cluster menggunakan algoritma K-Medoids untuk selanjutnya dioptimalisasi dengan Davies Bouldin Index (DBI). Untuk memudahkan penggunaan, aplikasi dapat diakses pada browser karena target aplikasi adalah mahasiswa dan dosen yang menggunakan pada pembelajaran serta pemerhati bidang cluster. Aplikasi dirancang pada platform desktop dan mobile demi memudahkan pengaksesan. Diharapkan, penelitian ini memberikan alternatif dalam proses clusterisasi dan optimalisasi melalui aplikasi yang dirancang mandiri. Kata kunci: aplikasi; cluster; dbi; k-medoids; optimalisasi
Eficacia de las medidas de protección en los delitos de violencia intrafamiliar cuando la víctima y el agresor comparten el mismo techo.
Authors: Cabezas-Delgado Gustavo
Published: January 2023

rLos países que son partes de diversas organizaciones en defensa de los derechos humanos tienen la obligación de adoptar medidas de protección en los delitos de violencia intrafamiliar, estás deben estar reflejadas en los procesos constitucionales. Es por esto, que ésta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar, en el cantón Sucre, si las medidas de protección como la de no hacer actos de intimidación o persecución y la prohibición de acercarse a la víctima, son o no eficaces para erradicar toda forma de violencia intrafamiliar. A nivel mundial, los códigos o leyes internacionales exigen a los estados priorizar por el derecho a la familia, y es que dentro de este grupo se transmiten muchos vínculos, en la cual, se desarrollan diversos aprendizajes en un ser humano, si éste vínculo presenta factores de violencia puede afectar en la conducta de una persona y éstas se reflejan mediante la personalidad que presenta un agresor y por la carencia de recursos psicológicos se puede proseguir con un estilo de crianza y patrones de relación, cultura y creencias. Para Ecuador el sistema de medidas de protección se expone en el artículo 558 del Código Orgánico Integral Penal, cuyo espíritu de la norma es la de prevenir, sancionar y castigar cualquier acto de violencia contra la mujer y la familia, más aún cuando este tema ha adquirido mayor protagonismo en los últimos tiempos volviéndose este fenómeno en parte del estudio de sociólogos, políticos y legistas.
