Licenciatura en Geografía, Universidad de Guadalajara. Una re-revisión ampliada
Authors: Martínez Barragán Hirineo , Urzúa Soto Susana , Chávez Hernández Armando
Published: March 2024

En estas breves páginas los autores hacemos un posicionamiento de lo que es o debiera ser la geografía como disciplina científica y como práctica profesional, del mismo modo hacemos un somero recuento de los estudios y estudiosos de la geografía en Jalisco, sus productos y las instituciones que se formaron para dar soporte institucional al conocimiento del territorio de la entidad en sus distintas variantes. En ese contexto y con esos antecedentes abordamos el origen y desarrollo de la licenciatura en Geografía de la Universidad de Guadalajara, la matrícula como eje vertebrador de su desarrollo, pero también los distintos planes de estudio, así como los diferentes temas de investigación, tanto de los profesores como de los alumnos en su etapa final, ya para graduarse. Desde una perspectiva analítica y crítica revisamos la evolución del pensamiento geográfico local, con algunos de sus principales actores, preocupaciones y planteamientos. Finalmente, a manera de conclusión, discutimos sobre los aportes, pero sobre todo respecto a las grandes carencias de la geografía local y los grandes retos a los que se enfrentan los académicos para “producir” una geografía más trascendente, tanto en la docencia como en la investigación y en la práctica profesional.

La reconfiguración territorial metropolitana. Un proceso evolutivo interpretado desde la noción de la entelequia social urbana
Authors: Sousa González Eduardo
Published: March 2024

Este capítulo tiene por objetivo avanzar en el conocimiento sobre la configuración y la reconfiguración del espacio urbano, mediante la utilización de una metodología deductiva, tomando como base el concepto propuesto de "entelequia social urbana". Dicho concepto está subsumido en tres nociones que la definen: a) la "antropoemia" social urbana, b) la "antropofagia" social urbana y c) la noción "ex nihilo". Con esto se pretende contar con una base teórica que permita el entendimiento de por qué y cómo el sujeto urbano desarrolla una dependencia adictiva por lo urbano que involucra precisamente los "satisfactores" y las "prerrogativas" vinculadas a la ciudad. Se exploran en la primera parte, desde la teoría, estos conceptos mencionados; en la segunda sección, como forma de contrastación preliminar hipotética, se examina la zona metropolitana de Monterrey en el periodo del año 1940-2022, para concluir con una reflexión contextual en el marco de los escenarios espaciales del crecimiento expansivo, control y planeación pronosticados para lo urbano, a fin de proponer finalmente un esbozo metodológico denominado "modelo esquemático de planeación de alteridad", en particular para el ámbito de la esfera metropolitana del sur global.
Tepic, México, entre centralidad y metropolización. Las tres estructuras
Authors: Flores Rodríguez Carlos Enrique , Ramos Delgado Raymundo
Published: March 2024

La conformación de una metrópoli, en el sentido tradicional del término, si bien tiene mucho de fortuito, tiene que ver también con determinismos establecidos por la natural estructura territorial y su consecuente estructura urbana, así como con la sucesión de eventos político-administrativos. Sin embargo, en este palimpsesto, no sólo son el territorio y lo urbano lo que acumula transformaciones; igualmente lo hace la relación centro-periferia entre el sistema de ciudades y su "hinterland", y la propia vida cotidiana de su sociedad, quien, modificándolas, es modificada en esta dialéctica. Para el caso de México, de manera general, existen en su historia cuatro grandes periodos que transformarían su estructura territorial urbana: mesoamericano, virreinal, independiente-porfiriano y agrario, los cuales han abonado a la complejidad en el estudio del hábitat humano y de las ciudades mexicanas. Desde lo hermenéutico-fenomenológico, en este ensayo descriptivo- exploratorio se discurre en ello. Se parte de la premisa de que mucho de lo que ha sido el sistema de convivencia de una sociedad, en particular la del poder de la ciudad metrópoli, ha tenido una relación directa con las referidas alteraciones y de que ignorarlo imposibilita su debida gestión o planeación. Para ello, utilizando herramientas de la geografía y la historiografía, se toma como objeto de estudio la ciudad de Tepic, en específico luego de convertirse en capital del séptimo cantón de Jalisco, donde se hace notar una súbita centralidad, producto de la emergente oligarquía local-regional, y una demarcación más extensa que su antigua jurisdicción virreinal, sustento de la posterior estructura territorial-urbana porfiriana que, a su vez, serviría de base para el Reparto Agrario posrevolucionario, y éste del actual sistema urbano metropolitano.

The Impact of Russian-Ukraine Conflict on Profitability and Valuation of Indonesian Coal Stocks
Authors: Sumirat Erman , Firmansyah Hakam Dzikri , Sihab Budin F Irfan
Published: March 2024

This research investigates the impact of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine on the profitability and valuation of publicly listed Indonesian coal companies. Leveraging panel regression, the study offers empirically grounded perspectives on how an acute geopolitical conflict disrupted global energy trade flows to influence key financial metrics of a major exported commodity. Specifically, the analysis focuses on five leading Indonesian coal miners over 2019-2022. Profitability dynamics are examined through gross profit margins while valuations reliance on price-to-earnings ratios. Control variables capture coal prices, a conflict indicator, inflation, interest rates, and exchange rate fluctuations. Results reveal the global coal price spike had a statistically significant positive impact on profit margins, affirming the turmoil's commodity super-cycle upside. However, valuations diverged from earnings trends, suggesting more complex reassessments of long-term prospects. The conflict itself directly affected profitability but not valuations. This research contributes timely empirical insights on an understudied intersection of geopolitics, commodity markets, and emerging market equities. Evidence-based quantification of financial linkages and risk transmission inform both theory and practice. Strategic decision makers obtain granular clarity regarding exposures and opportunities during energy market turmoil.

Published: March 2024

Fruit juices are among the best food products with respect to the nutritional and medicinal applications. However, disaster can come along the way, as bacteria can cause spoiling of fruit juices through contaminated raw materials, extraction equipment and malpractice of handlers and results into the deleterious health effects. Numerous bacterial species including Streptococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholera, etc can be present in high concentrations in fruit juices. In the present study, a total of 164 bacterial strains were isolated from nine samples of fresh fruit juices (Carrot, Orange and sugarcane) from different areas in Lahore. Three media i.e., Nutrient agar, MacConkey agar and Eosin Methylene Blue agar (EMB) were used for enumeration and isolation of various bacterial genera. Among the total 164 isolated bacterial strains, 37 were recovered from sugarcane juice samples, 91 from carrot juice samples and 36 from orange juice samples. The most frequent strains were E. coli and Enterobaacter spp. which were most likely due to the contamination from water. A panel of 10 antibiotics including Erythromycin, Ceftizoxime, Ciprofloxacin, Tobramycin, Vancomycin, Ampicillin, Streptomycin, Polymyxin B, Levofloxacin, and Cephalexin was used to determine the antibiotics sensitivity (AST) status of the isolated strains. It was observed that Levofloxacin showed highest zones of inhibition against all the tested strains and overall, strains didn’t have significant resistance against the tested antibiotics. The practice of proper hand and fruit washing can minimize the potential threat of bacterial contamination in food products.

Poor neonatal outcomes, including low birth weight (LBW), poor APGAR scores, more NICU hospitalizations, and a higher chance to develop Pre-Eclampsia, IUGR, and Oligo Hydramnios, are all linked to thin placental thickness. While both thin and thick placentae are connected to a greater prevalence of C-sections, thick placentae are linked with a greater possibility of developing GDM and an increase in NICU hospitalizations. Objective of this research was to investigate the association between placental thickness as measured by ultrasonography in the third trimester and foetal outcome, including the relationship between placental histopathology and placental thickness. investigate the link among placental thickness, foetal outcome, and placental histology. Most newborns had fibrinoid necrosis and calcifications. Babies with Macrosomia and IUGR, respectively, were more likely to develop Syncytial knots and thickening of the vessel wall. Patients with normal placenta thickness at 36 weeks' gestation experienced fewer difficulties than those with thin or thick placentas at the same time. The study emphasizes the value of evaluating placental thickness using ultrasound in the third trimester to detect high-risk pregnancies. The study also shows that aberrant foetal and neonatal events are linked to certain placental histological characteristics, like artery wall thickening and infarctions.

Published: March 2024

Today, cataracts are the main cause of vision loss. Therefore, the creation of new ophthalmic medicines (drugs), namely eye drops, based on the active substance angiolin ((S)-2,6-diaminohexanoic acid 3-methyl-1,2,4-triazolyl-5-thioacetate) is an urgent task. Previously, we developed a method of standardization of the active substance – by the spectrophotometry. According to the requirements of the SPhU, the next step was the validation of the developed methods. That became the purpose of our work. Validation of the method of quantitative determination of active substances was carried out according to the following indicators: specificity, linearity, range of application, accuracy, correctness and robustness. In the course of the conducted studies, it was established that the method is characterized by sufficient convergence and correctness, as the criterion of insignificance of the systematic error of the method is fulfilled. The systematic error of the method satisfies the requirements of statistical and practical insignificance. The high value of the correlation coefficient r = 1.0000 and 0.99994 satisfies the requirements of the acceptance criterion (r = 0.9998) and confirms the linearity of the dependence between the amount of Angiolin taken and found in the range from 80% to 120%, according to its nominal content in the drug. The requirements for the linear dependence parameters (a, SD0/b, r) of the Angiolin determination method are met in the entire concentration range from 80% to 120% of the nominal value. Thus, the developed method of standardization of active substances in Angiolin eye drops is valid and can be introduced into the project of QCM (quality control methods).

Published: March 2024

Hypertension (HTN) and type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are two main cardiovascular risk factors that coexist frequently. The aim of this study is evaluation the antihypertensive effect of dapagliflozin in hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients (controlled/inadequately uncontrolled), and study its effect on contributing factors in that effectiveness (ex. weight loss and SNS damping). Primary endpoints included the effect of dapagliflozin on hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) and blood pressure. Secondary endpoints included the effect of drug on weight body, pulse rate and pulse pressure. Patients were randomly selected from the outpatient of the Endocrinology Department at Tishreen University Hospital in Syria, and divided into two groups: dapagliflozin group (n=45) received 5 or 10mg dapagliflozin once daily as an add-on therapy to oral anti-diabetic drugs (OAD)and antihypertensive drugs, and control group (n=38) received OAD and antihypertensive drugs. After 12 weeks follow-up, dapagliflozin-treated versus control-treated showed significant reduction in HbA1C (-0.7% vs -0.3%, p<0.05, mean seated SBP (-9.4 vs -1.2mmHg, p=0.0001) and mean seated DBP(-6 vs-0.3mmHg, p=0.0001). Dapagliflozin also reduced body weight compared with control (-2.6 vs -0.6kg, p=0.0001) andthere was a significant positive correlation between weight loss and BP reduction. The effect on pulse rate was modest and similar between two groups but dapagliflozin have lowered pulse pressure values. There was no significant dose-response with any studied parameter, too. 5mg dapagliflozin once daily improved glycemic control, reduced body weight, SBP more than DBP and thus improved pulse pressure. All that without any significant effect on pulse rate.
Premium Linear-Exponential Mixture of Poisson Distribution
Authors: Suresh Kumar Sahani Binod Kumar Sah,
Published: March 2024

The proposed distribution is a discrete probability distribution with only one parameter and it has been derived by compounding the Poisson distribution with the Premium Linear-exponential distribution (PLED) of Sah (2022). So, it is named as Premium Linear-Exponential Mixture of Poisson Distribution (PLEMPD). The required statistical characteristics have been derived and explained to give the theoretical concept of this distribution. The main purpose of proposing this distribution is to provide a better goodness of fit for over-dispersed count data than the previously derived one parameter continuous mixtures of Poisson distribution of same nature by others. Taking some secondary over-dispersed count data and using the theoretical concept of this distribution, it has been observed that this distribution is more suitable for statistical modeling of over-dispersed count data than Poisson-Lindley distribution (PLD) of Sankaran (1970) and Poisson-Mishra distribution (PMD) of Sah (2017).
Case Study on Decarbonization Strategies for LNG Export Terminals Using Heat and Power from CSP/PV Hybrid Plants
Authors: Hasni Sabrina , Platzer Werner J.
Published: March 2024

The race towards decarbonization is driving major oil and gas companies to explore means to use renewable heat and power for their plants as part of their commitment to reduce their carbon intensity by 80% to 100% by 2050 [1]. In terms of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, natural gas is considered the cleanest fossil fuel option available, and decarbonization of new liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects is on the radar of many LNG projects developers. In addition, LNG cargos will have to be certified in the future by accredited authorities to meet defined GHG emission levels [2].

This research study investigates a concept of providing both heat and power from a photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) solar tower hybrid plant to meet the energy demand of LNG export terminals. Two locations have been investigated for potential future LNG projects: Karratha in Australia and Ras Laffan in Qatar. Both locations have direct normal irradiance (DNI) values higher than 2000 kWh/m2/year, which is the minimum level required for CSP technology [3]. A techno-economic assessment was carried-out taking into consideration the electricity price, the grid carbon intensity and the carbon dioxide (CO2) tax in the region.

The results indicate that the CSP/PV hybrid plant significantly accelerates the decarbonization of energy supply to the “All electric” LNG Plant. The quantity of CO2 emitted between 2025 and 2050 is reduced by 81% for Karratha (Australia) and by 88% for Ras Laffan (Qatar) compared to a grid connected LNG plant.

Leadership that is corrupt and very far from the truth and evil before God but is considered normal in the reign of King Ahab as written in 1 Kings, this crime which is considered normal presents a prophetic voice where Elisha pronounces punishment for Ahab, through the story of Ahab and Jezebel Christian leadership studies to be able to reduce the moral banality and character of Christian leaders as a study of Ahad and Izabel's leadership in 1 Kings 21. Using descriptive qualitative research methods with a literature study approach, it can be concluded that reducing the moral banality and character of Christian leaders as a study of Ahad and Izabel leadership Izabel in 1 Kings 21 Christian leadership needs to know the nature of moral banality and deviant character, which greatly influences the leader's life. Through studying the history of the journey of evil kings Ahab and Jezebel in leadership case studies can be a parameter for not falling into moral banality and evil character. And what is expected in the actualization of contemporary Christian leadership is to strengthen moral education and the formation of good character. In addition, Christian leaders also need to strengthen their relationship with God and deepen their faith to strengthen morality and integrity in their actions and decisions. Thus, the leadership study of Ahab and Izabel can be a lesson for Christian leaders to avoid moral banality and deviant character.AbstrakKepemimpinan yang rusak dan sangat jauh dari kebenaran serta jahat di hadapan Tuhan namun dianggap wajar terjadi dalam pemerintahan raja Ahab yang tertulis dalam 1 Raja-raja, kejahatan yang dianggap lumrah itu menghadirkan suara kenabian di mana Elisa menyatakan hukuman bagi Ahab, lewat kisah Ahab dan Izebel kepemimpinan Kristen belajar untuk dapat mereduksi banalitas moral dan karakter pemimpin Kristen sebagai studi kepemimpinan Ahab dan izabel dalam 1 Raja-raja 21.

Published: March 2024

Education serves as the cornerstone of national development, and the quality of teaching plays a pivotal role in shaping an exceptional generation. In the dynamic landscape of education, characterized by global shifts and technological advancements, the challenges faced by the sector transcend traditional boundaries. Teachers, as primary conveyors of knowledge, skills, and values, stand at the forefront of this evolving landscape, necessitating optimal performance and adaptability. The attainment of quality education relies on a nuanced understanding and the strategic implementation of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices within the education sector. HRM in education is not confined to mere administrative tasks but represents a strategic imperative that shapes the overall learning experience. From recruitment to professional development, HRM plays a crucial role in equipping educators to meet the evolving demands of the educational landscape. The dynamic interplay between global shifts, the evolving roles of educators, and the imperative for optimal performance underscores the pressing need for a sophisticated approach to HRM in education. This study explores innovative strategies to optimize teacher performance and address unique challenges within education. HR practices, encompassing recruitment, professional development, compensation, and performance management, emerge as essential components for enhancing student outcomes. The effectiveness of HRM strategies is intricately linked to factors such as leadership, organizational culture, and the broader social, political, and economic contexts. An effective HRM system recognizes the dynamic role of teachers, empowering them with current knowledge and skills. The synergy between HRM practices and the quality of human resources acknowledges teachers as dynamic contributors to the learning process. Innovative HRM strategies in education encompass the utilization of technology, personalized professional development, and the promotion of an inclusive work culture. Challenges, ranging from resource shortages to curriculum changes and social factors influencing teacher performance, are thoughtfully addressed. The intricate relationship between HRM and student learning outcomes is investigated, with the aim of achieving alignment between teacher performance and student achievement. The narrative envisions a future where HRM serves as a driving force for educational excellence, fostering an environment that supports growth, innovation, and the quality of learning.
ACCELERATION OF TRANSFORMER ARCHITECTURES ON JETSON XAVIER USING TENSORRT

Transformer models have become a key component in many natural language processing and computer vision tasks. However, these models are often computationally intensive and require a lot of resources to run efficiently. To address this challenge, this study studies the use of TensorRT, an optimization library provided by NVIDIA, to accel-erate the inference speed of transformer models on Jetson Xavier NX, a low-power and high-performance embedded platform.
This research demonstrates the significant impact of TensorRT optimization on transformer models. Specifically, we present two case studies: one involving a Transformer model for text-to-speech synthesis and another featuring a Vision Transformer model for image classification. In both cases, TensorRT optimization leads to substantial improve-ments in inference speed, making these models highly efficient for edge device deploy-ment. For the text-to-speech task, TensorRT optimization results in a remarkable 60% re-duction in inference time while decreasing memory usage by 17%. Similarly, for image classification, the Vision Transformer model experiences over a 60% increase in inference speed with a negligible 0.1% decrease in accuracy. This study not only showcases the prac-tical benefits of TensorRT but also highlights the potential for further optimization and deployment of transformer models on edge platforms. This demonstrates the potential of TensorRT to optimize transformer models, both in terms of performance and memory usage. This could have far-reaching implications for edge computing, allowing more appli-cations to be deployed on low-power devices.
