Authors: Irandoust Khadijeh
Published: December 2024

Objective: This study aimed to explore the psychological pressures faced by female athletes in managing the expectations of family and society, focusing on how they cope with these challenges.

Methods and Materials: A qualitative research design was employed, using semi-structured interviews to collect data from 29 female athletes. Participants were selected from various sports disciplines in Iran, with ages ranging from 18 to 35 years. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes related to the athletes' experiences of psychological pressure, social support, and the intersection of personal aspirations with familial and societal expectations. The interviews were conducted until theoretical saturation was reached.

Findings: The findings revealed three primary themes: (1) Social Support: Athletes with strong family and social networks reported better coping mechanisms, though conflicting family expectations sometimes led to increased stress; (2) Mental Toughness: Female athletes with higher mental toughness showed greater resilience to external pressures, which helped them balance athletic and personal responsibilities; (3) Tension Between Personal and Familial Expectations: Many athletes experienced a conflict between pursuing their athletic goals and fulfilling family roles, particularly in contexts where societal norms prioritized family over career ambitions. These pressures were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which added additional stress to already demanding circumstances.

Conclusion: Female athletes face complex psychological pressures from both societal and familial expectations, which can impact their mental well-being and performance. The findings suggest the importance of social support and mental toughness in coping with these pressures. Further interventions and strategies should focus on strengthening social support networks, building mental resilience, and addressing societal norms that hinder female athletes' ability to balance their athletic careers and personal lives.

Optimising Growing Media Composition and Seed Selection Strategies For the Conversation of the Endangered Sandalwood (Santalum album Linn.)
Authors: Blolok Agustina Sumarni Ciputri , Seran Wilhelmina , Mau Astin Elise , Soimin Muhamad
Published: December 2024

Overexploitation and insufficient conservation efforts have classified Sandalwood (Santalum album Linn.), an economically and ecologically significant species, as endangered. This study investigates the effects of seed size and growing media composition on the germination performance and growth of sandalwood seedlings, aiming to optimise seed selection and media composition strategies for its conservation. We employed a completely randomised design (CRD) experiment, which included three seed size categories (small, medium, and control) and three media compositions: soil and sand alone, soil and sand with chicken manure, and soil and sand with cow manure. Results revealed that the combination of medium-sized seeds and chicken manure (A2B1) yielded the highest fresh weight (0.31 g), while small seeds combined with chicken manure (A1B1) achieved the highest germination speed index (0.63%/day), germination value (0.07%/day), and dry weight (0.07 g). We identified chicken manure as the most effective organic amendment, enhancing soil structure, microbial activity, and nutrient availability. In contrast, cow manure exhibited slower nutrient release, and soil and sand alone hindered root development due to compact soil properties. These findings underscore the importance of nutrient-rich organic amendments and optimal seed selection in enhancing sandalwood germination and growth. This study provides actionable insights for sustainable sandalwood cultivation and conservation efforts. Further research should focus on field trials under variable environmental conditions to validate these strategies on a larger scale.
Políticas de comunicación y comunicación política. Senderos e intersecciones, de Glenn Postolski (idea y coordinación) (2024)
Authors: Manguia Silvina
Published: December 2024

“La Política y la Comunicación (así, con mayúsculas) son, probablemente, dos de los conceptos con mayores intersecciones en el marco de las ciencias sociales”, afirma Alicia Entel en este libro que da cuenta de las múltiples entradas posibles que la confirman. Recorrerlo permite reencontrarse con las preocupaciones de Glenn Postolski y los autores que participaron de él. En una búsqueda por enunciar respuestas a un presente hostil donde no solo se vulneran derechos, se alienta la desinformación y se promueve la “maquinaria económica política al servicio de la desinformación”, limando o reduciendo a simple enunciado a la Ley de Servicios de Comunicación Audiovisual, Políticas de comunicación y comunicación política. Senderos e intersecciones ofrece posibles salidas a través de proyectos de políticas públicas que pueden ser exitosas.

Punteros, malandras y porongas. Ocupación de tierras y usos políticos de la pobreza, de Jorge L. Ossona (2024)
Authors: Mora Matías
Published: December 2024

Jorge Ossona es un historiador que se desempeña como docente universitario, investigador y columnista habitual en el diario Clarín. Durante el año 2014 publicó el libro Punteros, malandras y porongas realizando un trabajo etnográfico profundo, mediante el cual analiza y examina la compleja y delicada situación de las ocupaciones de tierras ocurridas entre los períodos 1983 y 2001 en el partido bonaerense de Lomas de Zamora, particularmente en el fragmento denominado como “Campo Unamuno”, ubicado en la periferia más vulnerada y humilde de Villa Fiorito. El trabajo histórico de reconstrucción de los enlaces políticos, económicos, sociales y familiares de los distintos actores que se desempeñaron en las tomas de los terrenos que bordeaban al antiguo arroyo Unamuno se da en un contexto particular; la narración nos lleva a situarnos al final del período dictatorial, en el retorno a la democracia con el gobierno de Alfonsín y la disputa con el peronismo, atravesando luego el gobierno menemista con las políticas neoliberales como principal expresión, hasta el  estallido social en 2001 con el gobierno de De la Rúa.

Cut-offs are required to exclude the reservoir portion that does not contribute significantly to evaluating hydrocarbon in situ or reserve estimation. There is no universally accepted set of definitions, but it is necessary to have a firm grasp on the fundamental terms and expressions used in volumetric analysis employing core, well-log data.
Oil and gas are trapped in the Blackfoot Field's multiple fluvial and valley-fill reservoirs of the Glauconitic sandstone. Two wells, A-08-023-23W4 and B-08-023-23W4, were chosen to quantify parameters needed to estimate net pay thickness (NPT) and net-to-gross ratio from the cores data in both wells.
Understanding charts, which show how average parameters change with a cut-off value, are used to determine the final cut-off. Using the statistical criterion for the assessed wells, an appropriate porosity limit for the net-to-gross ratio (NTG) estimate is being sought. A perspective on choosing porosity cut-off values from a statistical and core data perspective is provided.
The cores used in this investigation were analyzed for permeability and porosity under controlled laboratory settings. It is possible to make inaccurate predictions when using least-squares regression to determine porosity (or permeability) cut-off values. Using a probabilistic method, Jensen and Menke assessed the precision and inaccuracy of various porosity cut-off values.
To accomplish this, the line indicating the porosity cut-off values (Øc) was fine-tuned to minimize error and produce the most precise estimate possible. In this case study, we apply the tasks of estimating different porosity cut-off values to identify NPT and NTG and reduce the errors.
A-8-23-23W4's Øc is 0.3 porosity unit (pu) off the best estimate ØBE values when using the least squares regression line fitted to the porosity and permeability, and the regression line cut-off errors are 2.7% higher. ØBE matches the least squares regression's NPT cut-off values for well B-8-23-23W4.
The least regression line has a lower error rate than the best estimate for NTG, which is a 2.1 pu difference. According to the results, the NTG for well A-8-23-23W4 and well B-8-23-23W4 are predicted to be 0.9 and 0.8, respectively.
The application of the Jensen and Menke statistical cut-off is contingent upon the reservoir type, and the optimal statistical method for assessing net pay should be combined with all relevant data and analyzed by geologists and engineers.

Carbon steel is one of the materials widely used in industries due to its low price and mechanical properties; however, it needs improvement to provide corrosion resistance in industrial applications. The Al-Si coatings on low carbon steel were modified by the hot dipping technique and inspect the effects of the dipped time on the thickness of the coating in molten Al-Si alloy at 850°C for 15,30, 60, 90, and 120 sec. Two layers appeared outer coating as a thick Al-Si phase and inner coating as a thin Al-Fe phase. The thickness and hardness of the coating layers increase with immersion time increased. The lower micro hardness was (130~250HV), and the higher micro hardness was (490~ 900HV) due to the increase of the Al- Fe inter metallic layer. However, Al-Fe inter metallic prolonged growth, which 900 HV was a higher micro hardness and 140µm thickness values for120 sec.

High blood pressure (or hypertension) is a causative disorder to a plethora of other ailments – as it succinctly masks other ailments, making them difficult to diagnose and manage with a targeted treatment plan effectively. While some patients living with elevated high blood pressure can effectively manage their condition via adjusted lifestyle and monitoring with follow-up treatments, Others in self-denial leads to unreported instances, mishandled cases, and in now rampant cases – result in death. Even with the usage of machine learning schemes in medicine, two (2) significant issues abound, namely: (a) utilization of dataset in the construction of the model, which often yields non-perfect scores, and (b) the exploration of complex deep learning models have yielded improved accuracy, which often requires large dataset. To curb these issues, our study explores the tree-based stacking ensemble with Decision tree, Adaptive Boosting, and Random Forest (base learners) while we explore the XGBoost as a meta-learner. With the Kaggle dataset as retrieved, our stacking ensemble yields a prediction accuracy of 1.00 and an F1-score of 1.00 that effectively correctly classified all instances of the test dataset.
