Authors: Pérez Luño Antonio Enrique
Published: November 2023

La conmemoración, en el año 2017 del cuarto Centenario de la muerte de Francisco Suárez, constituye un motivo cultural que invita a repensar la persistencia de su legado doctrinal jurídico en la Filosofía y la Teoría del Derecho de la actualidad. En este ensayo se analizan su concepción de la ley, a partir de sus elementos constitutivos y de sus implicaciones. Así como las relevantes observaciones de Suárez sobre las características del lenguaje lega. Este trabajo se propone ofrecer un balance de aquellos aspectos de la reflexión de Francisco Suárez sobre el Derecho que pueden implicar mayor interés para la cultura jurídica del presente. Se analiza, con especial atención, el carácter innovador de la concepción jurídica de Suárez con respecto a la tradición medieval y a las doctrinas de su tiempo. Se pueden advertir así rasgos anticipadores del pensamiento de Suárez con respecto a determinadas concepciones filosófico-jurídicas contemporáneas.

A Systematic Review of Data Analysis Decisions in Counseling Single-Case Research Designs to Inform Best Practices
Authors: Peltier Corey , Smarinsky Evan Cole , Brown Cian L , Lewis Olivia , Lee David
Published: November 2023

Single-case research designs (SCRDs) can be a vital tool used to study a variety of topics pertinent to the counseling profession. Furthermore, SCRDs are a flexible methodology that counselors can use to assess the effectiveness of their treatments for participants, thus acting as scientist-practitioners. Our focus in this manuscript is to report the types of data analytic procedures used in counseling SCRDs to evaluate intervention effects. We searched 42 counseling affiliated journals between the years 2015 to 2021 and identified 50 empirical studies that used a SCRD. Results suggested all studies reported using visual analysis, although few studies reported quantitative information that aligns with the recommended data characteristics to evaluate for visual analysis. The most prevalent quantitative indices to report as an effect size would be considered non-overlap indices, with percentage of data exceeding the median being the most frequent. No studies reported between-case metrics and few cases reported within-case metrics that capture magnitude of change. Our discussion provides recommendations for a priori data analytic choices as well as discussing strengths and limitations in available options.
The geometry of synchronization: Quantifying the coupling direction of physiological signals of stress between individuals using Inter-System Recurrence Networks.
Authors: Hasselman Fred , Uil Luciënne den , Koordeman Renske , de Looff Peter , Otten Roy
Published: November 2023

In the study of synchronization dynamics between interacting systems, several techniques are available to estimate coupling strength and coupling direction. Currently, there is no general ‘best’ method that will perform well in most contexts. Inter-system recurrence networks (IRN) combine auto-recurrence and cross-recurrence matrices to create a graph that represents interacting networks. The method is appealing because it is based on cross-recurrence quantification analysis, a well-developed method for studying synchronization between 2 systems, which can be expanded in the IRN framework to include N>2 interacting networks. In this study we examine whether IRN can be used to analyze coupling dynamics between physiological variables (acceleration, blood volume pressure, electrodermal activity, heart rate and skin temperature) observed in a client in residential care with severe to profound intellectual disabilities (SPID) and their professional caregiver. Based on the cross-clustering coefficients of the IRN conclusions about the coupling direction (client or caregiver drives the interaction) can be drawn, however, deciding between bi-directional coupling or no coupling remains a challenge. Constructing the full IRN, based on the multivariate time series of 5 coupled processes, reveals the existence of potential feedback loops. Further study is needed to be able to determine dynamics of coupling between the different layers.

Authors:   Department of Sociological Foundations, Faculty of Education, University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria., Uyanga U. D. , Ekim R. E. D. ,   Department of Psychological Foundations, Faculty of Education, University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.
Published: November 2023

Importance of Girl-Child education has become a frontline issue in many discourses held globally in recent times. The premium placed on the Girl-Child’s education is a result of several awareness/enlightenment campaigns on the need for the Girl-Child to assume her rightful place in society. The illiteracy of the Girl-Child has chain effects on the family; which is the primary agent of socialization and the society in general. For social development to be rightly positioned in Nigeria and to result in the overall development of the nation, the Girl-Child must become an active player in the society. The paper concludes that the Girl-Child having been denied education due to a lot of reasons surrounding her sex must be given educational opportunities like her male counterparts to enable her fulfill her potentials as a member of the Nigerian society in line with the Child Right’s Act of 2003 and recommends amongst others that early marriages and other cultural practices which denies the Girl-Child her right to education should be eradicated for optimum growth of the female child through education.

It examined the concepts of policy, education policy, technical or Industrial Technology Education, as well as technical or Industrial Technology Education policies in Nigeria. It further examined the implementation of technical or Industrial Technology Education policies and challenges against effective implementation of technical or Industrial Technology Education policy in Nigeria. The authors conclude that the various technical or Industrial Technology Education policies in Nigeria have been well formulated to meet contemporary labour market demands in this technological age but the problem lies largely with the implementation. The authors recommended, among others, that senior academics in the Industrial Technology Education sub-sector should be more actively involved in Industrial Technology Education policy making and implementation in Nigeria. Also, the federal and state ministries of education should take a holistic approach to improve their Industrial Technology Education policy implementation efforts.

A multitude of researchers have consistently emphasized that Mathematics Anxiety holds a substantial role as a predictive factor for academic achievement. Although the factors shaping students' anxiety levels have been extensively explored, the existing literature indicates a notable gap in understanding the gender-based implications on students' Mathematics Anxiety Levels, specifically within the context of the Sagnarigu Municipality. Consequently, this study seeks to investigate whether gender disparities exist in the extent of Mathematics Anxiety among senior high school students. Employing a quantitative approach with an analytical cross-sectional design, the study engaged 385 students selected through simple random sampling. An extensive literature review complemented primary data collection utilizing a dedicated questionnaire, the Mathematics Anxiety Scale. The gathered data underwent thorough analysis utilizing descriptive and inferential statistics. Frequencies and percentages facilitated the categorization of students' Mathematics Anxiety Levels, while the comparison of mean Mathematics Anxiety scores between genders utilized the Mann-Whitney U Test. The study's findings unveiled that Mathematics Anxiety levels among students in the Sagnarigu Municipality, located in the Northern Region of Ghana, were notably high, and gender exerted a significant influence. Specifically, females exhibited higher levels of Mathematical Anxiety compared to their male counterparts. As a recommendation, the study underscores the importance for mathematics educators in Sagnarigu Municipal Senior High Schools to allocate focused attention to female students, aiming to alleviate their apprehensions around mathematics and consequently enhance their academic performance.
The US-Chinese rivalry in the Middle East region after 2013
Authors: Hassan Prof. Dr. Shatha Zaki
Published: November 2023

The Middle East is a milestone on the map of the conflict of geopolitical and economic interests between China and the United States, especially when China began to creep strongly towards the top of the international system as a revisionist force in the structure of the system, which made the United States review its policies towards China, and began to shift from the policy of strategic partnership that prevailed after the end of the Cold War at the international level to strategic. This reality will naturally withdraw from the international system to the subsystems, including the Middle East, which receives great attention from each of them, and it is clear from these indicators that China will face the American strategic competition and blockade in its vital field with a policy of balance outside the field, and avoid the United States moving east by moving through giant economic linkages, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, which all pass through the Middle East.

Published: November 2023

In this paper, a small MIMO antenna with a semi-hexagonal form is developed for use in terahertz applications. The suggested antenna consists of four radiating components printed on a Silicon Dioxide substrate that is 90 ×90 with a thickness of 10 µm. The radiating components have been positioned in an orthogonal orientation to produce excellent isolation and miniaturization of the MIMO system. The suggested MIMO antenna works for all the (0.1-10)THz bands with different values of chemical potential with wide impedance bandwidth (S11 ≤ -10dB) in the frequency range of 2.4 to more than 10 THz, With a co-reflection coefficient less than -20 dB over the whole operating band, with a return loss  -50 dB. The MIMO antenna has a maximum gain of 8.4 dBi and a steady diversity performance across all the working bands. According to the high-performance characteristics, the suggested graphene MIMO antenna design can be used for many applications in the THz band, including 6G high-speed wireless communication systems, security scanning, biomedical applications, IoT (Internet of Things), and sensing.

Adsorption has been demonstrated to be one of the world's most effective wastewater remediation techniques. This study attempts to use walnut shells as an adsorbent for the removal of the medications Amoxicillin, Ciprofloxacin, and Tetracycline from aqueous solutions. Many variables were studied to indicate walnut shells influence on the efficiency of removal; which included pH of the solution (3-9), drugs concentration (10-60 mg/L), adsorbent concentration (0.025–0.25) g/100ml for the walnut shell, contact time (5-120 min), and agitation speed (50-300 rpm). From the experimental results, the best removal at the most suitable pH value of Amoxicillin at pH 6, for Ciprofloxacin was at pH 5 and at pH 4 for the Tetracycline. With an optimum condition, for an amount of adsorbent of about 0.25, and an optimum time of 60 min for all adsorbs using 300 rpm. The best percentage of removal was 59.32% for Amoxicillin, 62.160% for Ciprofloxacin, and 61.55% for Tetracycline when 50 mg/l concentrations of all pharmaceutical solutions. The removal is well integrated into the Freundlich isotherm model. The correlation of kinetic data by a pseudo-second-order model was successful for three antibiotics. However, this study showed that walnut shells are an effective adsorbent in removing medical contaminants from an aqueous solution of the natural environment.

Published: November 2023

Many organizations around the world have recognized lightweight, long-lasting, cost and environmentally-friendly construction materials as a future necessity. The lightweight concrete is manufactured mainly either by replacing the original aggregate with lightweight aggregate or addition foam production materials to concrete mixtures. These additions lead to a decrease in the lightweight concrete density and change mechanical properties such as compressive strength. Therefore, there is much experimental research has been conducted to add different material types that can improve lightweight concrete compressive strength while maintaining low density. In this review, the effect of various additions such as steel fiber, product waste materials, and nano-materials on the lightweight concrete compressive strength and density have been explained. The various effects of these additive materials on lightweight concrete properties, some additives lead to improving the properties of lightweight concrete, while other materials lead to a decrease in those properties, and this depends on the type and amount of material additive, the method lightweight concrete manufacturing, and their mixture composition.
