Exploring The Multifaceted Dimensions of Manhood in Biblical Narratives Using King David’s Life
Authors: Dlodlo Nozipho Princess S. , Nkatini Hundzukani P. Khosa
Published: December 2023

The episode from the life of King David in this article served as a case study as we tried to explore the link between men and violence in contemporary society. In restating the hypothesis, we posit that men in our daily society sometimes reference Christian Biblical characters in their process of understanding their masculinity construction process and masculine traits. If this is the case, we have found that Christian men continue to hide under the shadow of emulating Biblical male characters in their navigation of this transition process and sustaining violent masculinity traits. We took cognizance of how some men move seamlessly between culture and faith as and when the transition process favors them. We used the narrative analysis method to examine this research. This article is premised on other factors, such as David being known in the community as the boy who killed a giant, as this makes it quick for people in the community and the church to remember him. This article explored the question of whether there were no better Biblical models for men to follow that could offer a wholesome insight into the construction of masculinity. While David was a man after God’s heart, he exuded violence, and his household continued to use power to abuse those within the household.
Conducting socio-legal research in Portugal: From the experience of the Permanent Observatory for Justice to the study of working conditions in courts
Authors: Dias João Paulo , Gomes Conceição , Henriques Marina
Published: December 2023

Empirical research on judicial systems requires diversified methodologies adapted to the contexts of courts and judicial actors. The experience gathered through the Permanent Observatory for Justice tells us that the support of judicial and political institutions and professionals’ associations are essential to reach a ‘hard-to-reach population’ and obtain robust results. The Observatory, with its interdisciplinary approach, had a significant public impact and contributed to public policies on justice. It was also fundamental to design and implement judicial training actions, through the Observatory’s Legal and Judicial Training Unit. The aim is to discuss the developed strategies to ensure the involvement of the institutional and judicial actors, build trust, and achieve valid results. The use of the project QUALIS, which assessed working conditions in Portuguese courts, allows us to focus on a concrete example of use of strategies and methodologies, with impacts on the improvement of the judicial system.
Reflexões glotopolíticas sobre o ensino de Português como Língua Estrangeira (PLE) na Argentina entre 2016 e 2022
Authors: Avelino dos Reis Jordana , Rubio Scola Virginia Irene
Published: December 2023

Neste artigo, refletimos sobre as políticas linguísticas na Argentina relacionadas à lei de oferta obrigatória de Português como Língua Estrangeira (PLE) no ensino secundário e seu impacto entre 2016 e 2022, sob o advento da integração mercosulina. A partir da perspectiva glotopolítica, nossos objetivos foram compreender melhor o cenário de oferta do PLE na Argentina e analisar as ideologias linguísticas sobre o inglês e português no ensino formal. Realizamos uma pesquisa qualitativa aplicada a um estudo de caso em três cidades argentinas: Buenos Aires, Córdoba e Rosário. Foram entrevistadas nove docentes que atuam na formação docente de língua portuguesa. Por meio dos discursos das participantes, constatamos que as políticas linguísticas foram, por um lado, escassas e que a lei teve um impacto quase nulo no ensino secundário. Por outro lado, todas as professoras apontaram a hegemonia da língua inglesa frente às demais línguas estrangeiras. As ideologias linguísticas que movem essa predominância respondem à tendência global da imposição do inglês como língua franca com impacto na América Latina. Tanto no Brasil quanto na Argentina, entre 2016 e 2022, os projetos políticos e as políticas linguísticas neoliberais acentuaram a socialização das elites em inglês, fortalecendo no imaginário social a ideia de que a língua inglesa seria um veículo de mobilidade social e econômica.

Los problemas del turismo de playa, el crecimiento desordenado y otras alternativas para el desarrollo
Authors:   , Mora Guisao Osmán de Jesús
Published: December 2023

En el primer capítulo se aborda, en términos teóricos conceptuales y aprovechando la experiencia internacional, la problemática de desarrollo de los países latinoamericanos basados en estructuras productivas especializadas en la producción de recursos naturales y escasa industrialización, con una institucionalidad débil. Esto da lugar a los diferenciales regionales que a su vez generan concentración urbana y una red de ciudades débiles. En ese marco se analiza la importancia que viene teniendo el turismo en determinadas regiones de esos países especialmente cuando el recurso turístico es trascendente ya sea por cuestiones culturales, naturales o por la posibilidad de desarrollar el turismo playa, pero al mismo tiempo se estudian las características del sector en la actualidad, muy influenciado por un boom poco regulado y poco controlado, que ha tenido un efecto negativo en muchos casos y de distinto tipo. Finalmente, ese mismo análisis se hace para el turismo basado en la playa habida cuenta de que Necoclí tiene un perfil similar a este tipo de casos. En el capítulo 2 se estudia el desarrollo económico, político, social e institucional de Colombia en la que se reproduce con sus particularidades el modelo planteado en el capítulo 1. En ese marco se analizan los diferenciales de desarrollo regionales y sus impactos sociales aportando datos que servirán para resolver el objetivo 1. Luego se analiza la importancia actual del turismo, las políticas generales y del sector turístico para impulsarlo. En el capítulo 3 se estudia la historia y la estructura económica social del Caribe y la región de Urabá tratando de encontrar asimetrías entre los municipios que integran estos espacios, para luego abordar el proceso que explica la pertenencia de Necoclí a Antioquia; de este modo se termina de abordar el objetivo 1 de la tesis. Luego se aborda Necoclí en el contexto de Antioquia: la estructura económica y social, el entramado de actores, los problemas de infraestructura, los planes y las políticas llevadas adelante, de este modo se busca responder al objetivo 2. Posteriormente –haciendo frente al objetivo 3- se expone el perfil turístico de la ciudad y a partir del trabajo de campo la percepción de informantes claves y turistas sobre dicho perfil, oportunidades y desafíos. Con todo este material finalmente se plantean las conclusiones y las estrategias para fortalecer el desarrollo diversificado de la ciudad y del turismo en particular planteando a su vez las tareas pendientes para lograr ese cometido.

Flipped classroom as a methodology for acquiring skills in sustainability in the subject production management: an assessment of the students
Authors: Martín-Peña María Luz , Díaz-Garrido Eloísa , Sánchez-López José María , García-Magro Cristina
Published: December 2023

The need to integrate competences aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into higher education curricula has gained considerable attention in recent years. While the literature shows an increase in research on this topic, there remains a scarcity of papers addressing effective strategies to foster students' environmental sustainability competencies and skills, through active pedagogical methods. A promising avenue to achieve this goal is the adoption of the Flipped Classroom methodology. This approach has proven its ability to guide students towards reflection and critical thinking, making it a good tool for promoting sustainability awareness. An experience of educational innovation is presented that develops SDG 12 "Guarantee sustainable consumption and production patterns", and SDG 9 "Industry, innovation and infrastructures", in the subject Production Management, with the aim of achieving the competence "environmental awareness". From the perspective of the students, an evaluation of the educational experience is presented. The results show the success of the Flipped Classroom methodology in providing students with a holistic understanding of the principles of sustainable development and their application through the SDGs within their academic trajectory. In particular, this approach provides them with the skills and aptitudes to promote sustainability.
EMOJIS AS NONVERBAL CUES IN ONLINE COMMUNICATION: PERSPECTIVES ON CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND MISUNDERSTANDING PREVENTION
Authors: Grishechko Elizaveta G.
Published: December 2023

The study explores the role of emojis as nonverbal cues in conflict resolution and misunderstanding prevention in online communication on Reddit as indicators of speech aggression. Employing a mixed-methods approach and conducting both quantitative and qualitative analyses, the research investigates the frequency and patterns of emoji use in conflict and non-conflict threads, as well as their impact on conversation tone and outcomes. Findings reveal that positive emotion emojis, gesture emojis, and sarcasm/humor/irony emojis are most commonly used to manage challenging interactions and prevent misunderstandings. The study demonstrates that emoji use is more frequent in conflict threads compared to non-conflict threads, indicating the vital role emojis play in managing difficult interactions. Moreover, the results show that the use of emojis is associated with a higher likelihood of de-escalation, clarification of misunderstandings, and better conversation outcomes. In addition to supporting existing theoretical frameworks, such as Social Information Processing Theory and Media Richness Theory, the study provides practical insights into effective communication strategies and the design of digital spaces that facilitate healthier interpersonal communication. The findings have implications for online communication, suggesting that the strategic use of emojis can help humanize interactions, promote empathy, mitigate speech aggression and ultimately lead to mutual understanding and conflict resolution.
MODEL OF THE FLAT FAIRING ANTENNA DIELECTRIC LAYER WITH AERODYNAMIC HEATING
Authors: Kozlovskiy Valerii , Kozlovskiy Valeriy , Nimych Oleksii , Klobukova Lyudmila , Yakymchuk Natalia
Published: December 2023

To protect the antenna systems of modern aircraft, radio-transparent dielectric fairings are widely used. At low flight speeds, when designing and evaluating the characteristics of the fairing-antenna, it is assumed that the dielectric constant is a constant value and does not depend on the aircraft's flight speed. As the flight speed increases, as a result of aerodynamic heating of the fairing, its dielectric permeability changes, which leads to errors in the processing of received signals. Currently, to take into account the effect of dielectric coatings heating when designing antenna systems, the temperature of the fairing wall is averaged over its thickness. This method during maneuvering and at high flight speeds leads to large errors in determining the characteristics of the fairing antenna since the nature of the temperature distribution along the thickness of the fairing wall is not taken into account. A new approach to the analysis of dielectric layers with their uneven heating along the thickness is proposed. The obtained results make it possible to adjust the signal processing algorithms with analog and digital matrices, as a result of taking into account the emerging heat flows affecting the fairing of the aviation antenna, which leads to the improvement of the characteristics of the antenna systems.

The accident at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) in Ukraine in 1986 became one of the largest technological disasters in human history. During the accident cleanup, a special protective structure called the Shelter Object was built to isolate the destroyed reactor from the environment. However, the planned operational lifespan of the Shelter Object was only 30 years. Therefore, with the assistance of the international community, a new protective structure called the New Safe Confinement (NSC) was constructed and put into operation in 2019. The NSC is a large and complex system that relies on a significant number of various tools and subsystems to function. Due to temperature fluctuations and the influence of wind, hydraulic processes occur within the NSC, which can lead to the release of radioactive aerosols into the environment. The personnel of the NSC prevents these leaks, including through ventilation management. Considering the long planned operational term of the NSC, the development and improvement of information technologies for its process automation is a relevant task. The purpose of this paper is to develop a method for managing the ventilation system of the NSC based on neuro-fuzzy networks. An investigation of the current state of ventilation control in the NSC has been conducted, and automation tools for the process have been proposed. Using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and statistical data on the NSC's operation, neuro-fuzzy models have been formed, which allows to calculate the expenses of the ventilation system using the Takagi-Sugeno method. The verification of the proposed approaches on a test data sample demonstrated sufficiently high accuracy of the calculations, confirming the potential practical utility in decision-making regarding NSC’s ventilation management. The results of this paper can be useful in the development of digital twins of the NSC for process management and personnel training.

Rasgos psicopáticos en niños y adolescentes. La influencia de los estilos de apego. (Estilo de apego, rasgos insensibles y carentes de emociones)
Authors:   Universidad Católica Luis Amigó, Tapias Medina Yesid Felipe , Carmona Cardona César Andrés ,   Universidad Católica Luis Amigó, Arango Tobón Olber Eduardo ,   Universidad Católica Luis Amigó
Published: December 2023

Introducción: Existen sujetos que, adicional a manifestar un trastorno de conducta, presentan rasgos insensibles y carentes de emociones, los cuales podrían estar relacionados a los estilos de apego experimentados en edades tempranas. El estudio describe cómo los sujetos con problemas en la condición de apego tienen tendencia a problemas del comportamiento, consumo de sustancias psicoactivas y rasgos psicopáticos. Por lo tanto, su estudio desde un modelo conceptual incrementa la estructuración de un constructo que podría definirse como un factor de riesgo para la identificación de trastornos de la conducta en la adultez. De ahí que el objetivo del presente producto es describir la relación entre los estilos de apego en niños y adolescentes con rasgos insensibles y carentes de emociones. Metodología: Por medio de una revisión narrativa, se analizaron diez estudios originales entre los años del 2012 y 2022 de diferentes países, en idioma español e inglés y con diseños transversales y longitudinales. Resultado: Se logró evidenciar que los estilos de apego inseguros o desorganizados están relacionados con niños y adolescentes implicados en conductas delictivas o en comportamientos en contra de la norma, mientras que los estilos de apegos seguros serían un factor protector contra los delitos. Conclusión: La carencia de una interacción en el área afectiva desde edades tempranas probablemente sea un indicativo significativo en el desarrollo de rasgos insensibles y carentes de emociones en edades adultas, siendo este un factor de riesgo para la personalidad antisocial o psicopática.

Published: December 2023

El artículo da cuenta de los resultados de una investigación exploratoria y descriptiva, de metodología cuantitativa que estableció como objetivo indagar acerca del lugar que ocupa la ética periodística en la formación académica de la disciplina en Chile. Ello, para comprender cómo se aborda en las mallas curriculares, considerando la cantidad de asignaturas, contenidos abordados y discusión de prácticas controversiales. Ante la escasez de estudios en esta materia a nivel local, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en revistas académicas para tener un marco referencial y así conocer los objetivos y resultados de investigaciones académicas, principalmente en Estados Unidos, que permitan comprender de qué manera la enseñanza de la ética profesional es materia de estudio en la formación de periodistas y cuáles han sido los principales hallazgos. Los resultados de este estudio propician una visión de aquello que es compartido y que se evidencia en los programas de asignatura, como aquellos aspectos en los que se diferencian desde el punto de vista de los contenidos abordados en clases. Se establece una discusión acerca de los desafíos que implican para el desarrollo de programas académicos de la disciplina. En este sentido, cabe destacar que las interrogantes planteadas encuentran respuesta. No obstante, más allá de los hallazgos, se exponen inquietudes y nuevos desafíos para la formación académica de periodistas y preguntas para futuras investigaciones en esta misma línea.
Terrorismo de palabra, discurso del odio y desinformación: nuevas excusas para la censura
Authors:   Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Serrano Maillo Isabel
Published: December 2023

Con las nuevas tecnologías y el gran desarrollo de Internet, la comunicación de opiniones y hechos se ha democratizado. Todos podemos decir lo que queramos y transmitirlo a través de las redes sociales a gran velocidad a millones de personas. Y, debido precisamente a esa incontrolable difusión de los mensajes se han multiplicado las acciones que -directamente relacionadas con la palabra-, están afectando a los derechos de los demás: delitos de odio, mensajes discriminatorios, insultos, enaltecimiento del terrorismo, desinformación, bulos, etc... Esto preocupa a los Estados, que se han puesto manos a la obra para tratar de controlar estas nuevas disfunciones del mundo mediático. Nuevas legislaciones que inciden en el control de los mensajes y que afectan, de manera deliberada o no, directamente, a la libertad de expresión. En este trabajo se pretende llamar la atención sobre esta realidad, sobre los límites exagerados, desproporcionados e injustos que se están imponiendo a la libertad de expresión con la excusa de proteger algunos derechos de los ciudadanos. En contraposición a estas narrativas se propone apostar por legislaciones más respetuosas con la libertad de expresión, en algunos casos, e invertir en alfabetización mediática, en otros.
Apreciaciones de la ética en los estudios de la televisión en Chile

Published: December 2023

Los estudios que habitualmente realiza el Consejo Nacional de Televisión (CNTV) de Chile, como organismo que debe velar por el correcto funcionamiento de este medio, tienen una importante base bibliográfica y empírica, permitiéndole abordar diferentes temáticas y grupos segmentados de audiencia, de forma variable cada año. Es-tos resultados permiten conocer las temáticas de interés, las cifras de rating para alguna cadena o espacio televisivo, y los antecedentes y reflexiones esenciales que, en algunos casos, guían las discusiones de la industria audiovisual nacional, las decisiones de inversiones publicitarias y los alcances académicos en diversas áreas de la formación audiovisual profesional. Por el alcance y la relevancia de estas investigaciones, es que es preciso observar también, los tópicos que surgen sobre estas problemáticas y el quehacer de la ética en la televisión nacional, tanto desde su análisis a través de la audiencia, como desde la propia unidad responsable de la regulación de los contenidos programáticos. Se desarrolló así, un análisis bibliográfico comparativo para las publicaciones de los últimos 12 años (2010-2022) que permitiera examinar las directrices procedentes desde el propio CNTV para el desarrollo de contenidos que las estaciones televisoras y las apreciaciones del público respecto a principios éticos como el respeto a la dignidad humana, el cuidado de la niñez y la exacerbación de la violencia. El proceso investigativo permitió revisar la preocupación por parte del Consejo Nacional de Televisión, de propiciar lineamientos normativos respecto al tratamiento de las imágenes en prensa, la positiva valoración que manifiesta el público por el resguardo de temáticas con alta sensibilidad (adultos mayores, migración y sexualidad, por ejemplo) y la necesidad de mantener o aumentar el número y difusión de estos documentos de trabajo.

Background: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most frequent chronic rheumatic disease in children. If inflammation is not adequately treated, joint damage, long-term disability, and active disease during adulthood can occur. Identifying and implementing early and adequate therapy are critical for improving clinical outcomes. The burden of JIA on affected children, their families, and the healthcare system in Spain has not been adequately assessed. The greatest contribution to direct costs is medication, but other expenses contribute to the consumption of resources, negatively impacting healthcare cost and the economic conditions of affected families.

Objective: To assess the direct healthcare, indirect resource utilization, and associated cost of moderate-to-severe JIA in children in routine clinical practice in Spain.

Methods: Children were enrolled in this 24-month observational, multicentric, cross-sectional, retrospective study (N = 107) if they had been treated with biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), had participated in a previous study (ITACA), and continued to be followed up at pediatric rheumatology units at 3 tertiary Spanish hospitals. Direct costs included medication, specialist and primary care visits, hospitalizations, emergency visits or consultations, surgeries, physiotherapy, and tests. Indirect costs included hospital travel expenses and loss of caregiver working hours. Unitary costs were obtained from official sources (€, 2020).

Results: Overall, children had inactive disease/low disease activity according to JADAS-71 score and very low functional disability as measured by Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire score. Up to 94.4% of children received treatment, mainly with bDMARDs as monotherapy (84.5%). Among anti-TNFα treatments, adalimumab (47.4%) and etanercept (40.2%) were used in similar proportions. Annual mean (SD) total JIA cost was €7516.40 (€5627.30). Average cost of pharmacological treatment was €3021.80 (€3956.20), mainly due to biologic therapy €2789.00 (€3399.80). Direct annual cost (excluding treatments) was €3654.60 (€3899.00). Indirect JIA cost per family was €747.20 (€1452.80).

Conclusion: JIA causes significant costs to the Spanish healthcare system and affected families. Public costs are partly due to the high cost of biologic treatments, which nevertheless remain an effective long-term treatment, maintaining inactive disease/low disease activity state; a very low functional disability score; and a good quality of life.

Authors: Almeida Pedro Arthur Silva de , Ponte Yohana de Oliveira
Published: December 2023

A odontologia no âmbito hospitalar tem como finalidade proporcionar ao paciente uma melhora significativa na condição sistêmica e na qualidade de vida, sendo estabelecida como um ato responsável por tratar da higiene bucal. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever as principais manifestações bucais que influenciam na saúde integral de pacientes desdentados internados na UTI. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. A coleta de dados nas bases de dados PubMed , BVS (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde Brasil) e Portal da periódicos Capes. Para a busca dos artigos utilizou-se os descritores cadastrados em Ciências da Saúde: “Oral manifestations”, “Oral hygiene” e “Dental Staff, Hospital”, correspondentes em Língua Portuguesa “Manifestações bucais”, “Higiene bucal” e “Equipe Hospitalar de Odontologia”.  Como critério de inclusão, foram definidos artigos publicados nos idiomas português e inglês, estudos do tipo revisão de literatura e ensaios clínicos. Os critérios de exclusão estabelecidos foram estudos in vitro, artigos não encontrados na íntegra, artigos relacionados à pacientes dentados. Como resultados foram encontrados apenas 02 (dois) artigos que demonstraram coerência e correlação com o tema proposto, destacam-se as manifestações bucais relacionados aos pacientes com maior tempo de internação foram ressecamento labial, queilite angular, língua despapilada, candidíase e pneumonia e o conhecimento do médico hospitalar referente à higiene e as manifestações bucais de pacientes internados, destacando-se a doença periodontal e cárie dentária como principais manifestações bucais. Portanto, os pacientes desdentados internados no âmbito hospitalar necessitam de uma equipe multiprofissional para promover diagnóstico, prevenção e tratamento, pois as manifestações bucais demonstram cada vez mais que a cavidade oral está relacionada com a saúde integral. A relação entre as principais manifestações bucais e a saúde geral ocorre por meio da entrada de microrganismos na corrente sanguínea, causando diversos tipos de agravos, como infecções ao coração e aumento a resistência à insulina, piorando assim o controle glicêmico em pacientes diabéticos. No entanto, é necessária a realização de mais estudos com alto rigor científico sobre este tema além de envolver a atuação de profissionais capacitados com habilidades e técnicas específicas para atuar na Odontologia Hospitalar. As principais manifestações bucais que influenciam na saúde integral de pacientes desdentados internados na UTI são ressecamento labial, queilite angular, língua despapilada, candidíase e pneumonia.
Estatística experimental aplicada para determinar o par ideal da dosagem de coagulante e nível do pH de coagulação para tratamento de água de abastecimento público
Authors: Gouveia Marques Diego , Campos Valquíria
Published: December 2023

O tratamento de água para abastecimento compreende diversos processos físico-químicos empregados na remoção de compostos de interesse sanitário. Dentre os processos, destaca-se a etapa de coagulação como essencial para o tratamento efetivo. A coagulação, por sua vez, atinge eficácia quando atrelada a diversos fatores, destacando-se o par “dosagem de coagulante e pH de coagulação”. Ensaios de jar test para a obtenção do par ideal referem-se a procedimentos consolidados como parte da rotina das estações de tratamento de água. Entretanto, as metodologias comumente utilizam como resultados apenas a porcentagem de remoção da turbidez na escolha das condições e dosagens, de forma que a ausência de verificação estatística pode acarretar na escolha de condições operacionais que implicam no maior gasto com reagentes. Este trabalho teve como objetivo utilizar-se da estatística experimental, como análise de variância, e teste de Tukey, no sentido de obter o par “dosagem de coagulante versus pH de coagulação” no tratamento de água para abastecimento público. Dentro do planejamento experimental foram utilizadas amostras de água bruta da represa Cachoeira do França, São Paulo, coletadas na ETA Vargem Grande. Os resultados revelam que quando utilizados somente os dados de menor turbidez remanescente, opta-se por cenários com maior gasto de reagente, especificamente o pH de 6,96 e a dosagem de coagulante de 15 mg L-1. Entretanto, a partir dos testes estatísticos verifica-se que o contraste não significativo, a 5% de significância entre os tratamentos, pode indicar condições de operação mais econômicas e de redução de turbidez. Com relação ao parâmetro pH, a amostra com pH 6,46 obteve resultados sem contraste significativo a 5% com relação à amostra com pH 6,96, portanto ao optar-se pelo pH menor há menor necessidade de alcalinizante. Acerca da dosagem de coagulante, a turbidez remanescente da amostra em que se dosou 12 mg L-1 não apresentou contrastes significativos a 5% de significância com a dosagem de menor média de turbidez de 15 mg L-1, resultando na economia de 20% do reagente ao optar-se pela menor dosagem. O controle de reagentes nessa magnitude impacta na questão financeira e, do ponto de vista ambiental, o menor uso de reagente satisfaz princípios do desenvolvimento sustentável nas organizações.
Palavras-chave: Coagulante. pH. Estatística experimental. Tratamento de água.
Ethical Implications of Generative AI in Art and the Media
Authors: - Bhuman Vyas
Published: December 2023

With the emergence of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), ethics in Art and the Media has become more of a concern. The debate on the use of AI in Art and Media has reached its peak. It has been witnessed that several agents of AI in the field of Art can assist large-scale highly refined content without detection and seems like human-created content. However, the discussion hasn’t been enough on the issues and the moral dilemma of ethics which covers the blending of work of a human and a machine. AI Art and media are transforming the way artists and a design creates because generative AI is capable to create artistic content, audio, video and text. This paper explains the expressive and ethical layers of AI art and media with reference to AI research and art contemporary. This conceptual paper aims to draw some critical framework of AI art and media. This paper also challenges the current debate on the ethics of AI by focusing on the studies that are developed around three challenges raised by the AI text agents: disinformation and mass manipulation, a lot of poor-quality content production and the development of a rising barrier among stakeholders for the communication. The paper highlights the relevance of understanding AI art's existential conditions and its potential to inform both artistic and scientific AI research while guiding its cultural handling.

Background: Breast cancer remains a significant global health concern, necessitating ongoing epidemiological investigations to understand its patterns and guide effective prevention and treatment strategies. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the epidemiology of breast cancer over a five-year period in a tertiary care center.

Methods: A 3 year prospective and 2 year retrospective study was conducted, involving a thorough examination of medical records from a tertiary care centre spanning five years (2014-2019). Demographic information, clinical characteristics, and histopathological details of breast cancer patients were collected and analyzed. Descriptive statistics, including frequencies and percentages, were used to summarize the data.

Results: The research encompassed a cohort of 277 individuals diagnosed with breast carcinoma. Surgical interventions revealed that 47.4% underwent modified radical mastectomy, 16.7% lumpectomy. Predominantly in females were affected (99.2%). The highest incidence of cases (29.6%) occurred in the 6th decade, postmenopausal status was noted in 58.8% of females, and the most prevalent clinical manifestation was an enlarging breast lump/mass (83.8%). Left breast involvement prevailed (58.8%), with 53.1% affecting the upper outer quadrant. Infiltrating ductal carcinoma (No special type) constituted the major histopathological subgroup (93.9%). Grade II tumors comprised the largest subgroup. According to TNM staging system most patients presented in stage 3 , followed by stage 2. Immunohistochemical staining for ER, PR and Her2/neu was available in 228 cases of infiltrating ductal carcinoma (NST). Maximum cases were triple negative for all the 3 markers followed by ER positive luminal A breast cancer and Her2 enriched breast cancer.

Conclusions: This study sheds light on the epidemiological landscape of breast cancer in the context of a tertiary care centre, revealing key demographic and clinical characteristics of the patient population. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions, including awareness campaigns for early detection, screening programs, and personalized treatment strategies. The data generated from this study contribute to the broader understanding of breast cancer epidemiology and may inform healthcare policies aimed at improving outcomes for individuals affected by this prevalent malignancy. Further research is warranted to explore evolving trends and evaluate the impact of interventions on breast cancer incidence and survival rates in the population served by the tertiary care centre.

Abstract
The labour jurisprudence through a wide-ranging literature has approached the topic from different angles and categorized the term worker as either an independent contractor or as an employee. This definition of worker does very little to nothing in the lives of the workers of new forms of labour. There has been in the rise an emergence of the new forms of labour which is an umbrella term that also includes the gig worker and platform labour under the term. This shift in the workforce has enabled them to have a source of income and flexibility and has caused a huge increase in the gig workers at more than 17% CAGR [Compound Annual Growth Rate] has made the lawmakers difficult to classify them under the current law. The new amendment brought out in the parliament has proposed to codify the labour laws. law which is supposed to govern the gig worker has not clearly defined them in the definition. The new code which is supposed to clear the confusion has brought more mist in the terms of definition of who is a “gig worker” and “platform worker” which allows it to open interpretation, which makes the code still archaic and incomplete. Even the new bill fails to provide clarity regarding the workers of the new forms. This paper tries to analyse the current situation of the gig worker more exactly the platform workers and what would be the implication of the new labour code in the lives of the gig workers. This paper also proposes a separate bill that shall solely deal with that of the workers of the newer forms of business which shall be included in the new labour code.

One of the most popular commercial varieties of mango in India is the Alphonso variety. Due to its limited and specialised production zone, this cultivar attracts interest for its supply chain management research. Only a few studies on the management of the mango supply chain in India could be discovered in the literature. In order to better understand supply chain management and pre- and post-harvest losses for the Alphonso mango, a survey was conducted. To acquire the data, 123 observations from farmers, FPOs, retailers, exporters, and government officials were recorded. A socioeconomic study revealed that farmers who were young and educated (less than 50 years old and graduates) produced mangoes of higher quality and were more committed to exporting mangoes.The findings indicate that preharvest losses are primarily caused by variables including climate change, global warming, numerous illnesses and pests, spongy tissue, and fruit fly problem. During the harvest season, spongy tissue and abrupt, unseasonal rain have a negative impact on mango quality and supply. Mechanical damage, storage conditions, transportation, and mango handling all had a major impact on postharvest losses.According to the study, pre-harvest factors were responsible for 30 to 40% of mango loss, and post-harvest handling was found to be responsible for 15 to 20% of mango loss. The revenue of farmers is remains poor due to the current trading channels and lack of facilities for value addition.The results of this study provide insight on the current state of the supply chain and Alphonso mango losses. Researchers, governmental organisations, and policymakers can benefit from this study's findings by taking the appropriate actions to boost farmers' incomes, balance the market's supply and demand, and lower losses in other perishable fruits.
