An Analysis of the Live Streaming Economy in China
Authors: Peng Shengqing
Published: November 2023

The live streaming economy has gained prominence in China's "Internet+" era, leveraging live streaming platforms and mobile technology to drive sales. While it has yielded significant profits and popularity, this emerging economic model faces several challenges. This article conducts an in-depth analysis of the issues within the live-streaming economy and proposes effective countermeasures. Quality control and regulation pose major concerns in the live-streaming ecosystem. The proliferation of substandard and counterfeit products undermines consumer trust and damages brand reputation. Unethical practices, including false advertising and deceptive sales tactics, have also become prevalent, eroding industry integrity. Additionally, intense competition has led to market oversaturation, making it challenging for individual sellers to stand out and achieve sustainable growth. To address these challenges, stricter regulations and guidelines must be implemented to ensure the participation of verified and trustworthy sellers on live-streaming platforms. Emphasizing transparency and accountability, along with penalties for deceptive practices, is essential to foster a reliable environment. Improving the professionalism and skills of live streamers through comprehensive training programs and workshops can enhance product knowledge, communication skills, and ethical standards. In conclusion, while the live streaming economy in China's "Internet+" era has witnessed remarkable growth, it encounters challenges related to quality control, unethical practices, and market saturation. By implementing stringent regulations, promoting transparency, and enhancing the professionalism of live streamers, these challenges can be effectively tackled, paving the way for sustainable development in the live-streaming economy.

Diaspora is the fusion of several cultures. The widely dispersed populace feels a sense of cultural identity. People have relocated from the beginning of time in quest of better possibilities. They integrate outside of their home and absorb values from their country. Their minds split into two halves, which they must reunite. Many obstacles stand in their way, but they eventually affect the surroundings. When moving from one area to another, not only do eating habits, wardrobes, lifestyles, and languages change, but a person’s whole behavioral pattern also transforms. Multiculturalism and hybridity provide a fresh avenue for transformation. Conversely, it causes isolation, a lack of roots, and homesickness. There is always a longing about “Where do they belong?” They feel distant despite the mixing of two cultures. Their hybridity becomes an integral part of who they are. The result is linguistic, social, psychological, and historical progress as they combine the finest elements of both cultures. They are bound to earthly reality by their affinity. While this transfusion happens, the following generation adds fresh perspectives and broadens its reach. The battle between anxiousness and a lack of roots never ends. With time, individuals tend to cultivate a more nuanced perspective on life, recognizing the value of striking a harmonious balance between tradition and modernity as the most optimal approach for the collective.
Identity of Successful Women: An Analysis of Transitivity System and Stance Markers in Selected TED Talks
Authors: Khalil Safaa Moustafa
Published: November 2023

In recent years, as women continue to break through barriers and shatter glass ceilings, it becomes necessary to understand how they construct their identities as successful individuals. To fulfill this purpose, this research paper analyzed selected TED Talks delivered by five successful women entrepreneurs. The present study aims to unravel how women perceive success according to their personal experiences. The analysis is conducted in two phases. In the first, Halliday’s transitivity system was used. In the second phase, Hyland’s (2005) analysis of stance was applied to scrutinize the linguistic choices made by the speakers to construct and convey their identities as successful individuals. Results of data analysis revealed that with the prevailing use of material transitivity processes, successful women were able to present their experiences clearly. The dominance of self-mentions and scarcity of hedges revealed their confidence and certainty in their speech and their success experience as well.

De Docent als Schakel: Helpende en Belemmerende Docentovertuigingen bij Blended Onderwijs
Authors: Gremmen Mariola , Van der Stappen Esther
Published: November 2023

Blended onderwijs is een speerpunt in het (hoger) onderwijs om activerend, studentgericht onderwijs te bieden en daarmee motivatie, betrokkenheid en leerprestaties te verhogen. Onderzoek toont de meerwaarde en effectiviteit van een goed doordachte blend aan. De docent is hierbij aan zet. Dit onderzoek richt zich daarom op de docent als schakel, met als doel inzicht te krijgen in docentovertuigingen over de kansen en uitdagingen bij het ontwerpen en uitvoeren van blended onderwijs. Docentovertuigingen definiëren we als mentale constructen van docenten rondom blended onderwijs: houding, perspectieven, aannames, kennis, professionele identiteit, ervaringen en kennis. In deze praktijkstudie hebben we vijftien semigestructureerde interviews gehouden met docenten bij een technische academie in een Nederlandse hogeschool. De resultaten tonen vooral helpende overtuigingen rondom blended onderwijs. Docenten zien de noodzaak en meerwaarde voor studenten om  gevarieerder en meer plaats- en tijdsonafhankelijk te leren. Bovendien ervaren ze ondersteuning vanuit collega’s en de organisatie. Er kwamen ook enkele belemmerende overtuigingen naar voren, met name rondom studentmotivatie voor asynchrone leeractiviteiten en het missen van een overzicht over alle mogelijke leeractiviteiten om een passende mix aan te bieden. Daarbij vragen ze kennisdeling en willen ze graag van elkaar leren. De bevindingen en aanbevelingen bieden inzicht in de kansen die er liggen om blended onderwijs nog meer weloverwogen en doordacht te kunnen opzetten en uitvoeren. Praktische implicaties en ideeën voor vervolgonderzoek worden besproken.

Design and Development of an Application for the Generation of Garment Patterns Based on Body Measurements Using CNN
Authors: Curipaco Geraldine , Tarazona Jeiel , Subauste Daniel
Published: November 2023

In recent years, the growing consumption of products and services over the Internet has led companies to take their business models to virtual platforms, so retail fashion companies, such as ateliers, need to adapt to new market trends. Ateliers specialize in making garments to the customer's measurements, so this process requires a high level of time, cost and personnel specialized in taking body measurements and pattern making. There are several technological solutions to obtain body measurements and other solutions to obtain garment patterns, however there are no solutions that integrate both processes. Therefore, we propose an application to produce dress garment patterns tailored to a person from photos, using image processing and convolutional neural networks (CNN). Our proposal starts by obtaining a frontal and a lateral photo of the person, as well as her height, and then processing the images to obtain the body measurements by means of a CNN. Finally, we proceed to adjust the patterns of the garment required with the measurements obtained in order to give as a final result the dimensions of the dress's garment patterns.
Data-Driven Security Measurements to Improve Safety in NYC and NJ Mass Transit
Authors: Nalluri Nithya , Bsales Michael , Nelson Christie
Published: November 2023

Public transit in America in recent years is potentially vulnerable to terrorist or mass casualty attacks. These vulnerabilities are in part due to the lack of strict screening and content policing, unlike security at airports, but also their attractiveness as a potentially high-value target. Although current public transit systems are designed to efficiently allow passengers to quickly travel, screening of individual riders for weapons remains limited due to current technology limitations and high peak throughput requirements. This paper aims to develop an understanding of the current state of security check systems as applicable to high-traffic subway stations. We also worked towards creating a proof-of-concept risk analysis model using crime and other types of publicly available data for the New York City and New Jersey transit regions.
An Experience Mapping Method for Delayed Understanding in STEM Education
Authors: Kunigami Masaaki , Kikuchi Takamasa , Terano Takao
Published: November 2023

This study introduces a novel experience-mapping methodology designed to alleviate the challenge of delayed comprehension in education. Education often entails a delayed understanding of its content and value. This comprehension lag often results in discrepancies between learners and educational content, potentially leading to setbacks in the learning process. In response, we present a mapping model that delineates the essential structure of educational content and positioning between the learner and the content. This model serves as a guiding roadmap, enabling learners to navigate the complexities of educational content through a pair of constructed semantic networks. These networks reflect insights from recent brain science and educational experience studies. This study delves into the application of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education. Furthermore, we discuss the potential of experience mapping within the spheres of curriculum design and faculty development. Through these applications, this research contributes to the development of educational.

Inteligencia artificial y decisiones judiciales
Authors: Sanchis Crespo Carolina
Published: November 2023

La penetración de la IA (inteligencia artificial) en nuestra vida cotidiana es día a día más perceptible. Su presencia va imponiéndose de forma sutil y a la vez imparable. Nuestro sistema de Justicia no podía ser ajeno a esta realidad. Pero mientras hay versiones débiles de la IA que no plantean apenas problemas jurídicos ni éticos y simplemente nos facilitan la vida, la IA fuerte, capaz de tomar decisiones por ella misma, causa recelo y animadversión a partes iguales. Dos preguntas fundamentales se vislumbran desde esa perspectiva. Una, si es posible que en un futuro no muy lejano un juez robot pueda decidir sobre nuestro patrimonio y/o libertad. Otra, si es conveniente y seguro que lo haga. A ambos interrogantes pretende dar respuesta este artículo. Para ello se hace uso de la metodología tradicional en Derecho que consiste básicamente en consultar un número significativo de fuentes bibliográficas y normativa aplicable (aún en ciernes) para, una vez nutrido así el conocimiento sobre la materia, formular nuestro planteamiento particular sobre el tema. No ha sido posible consultar jurisprudencia por razones evidentes.Finaliza el artículo con un apartado dedicado a reflexionar mirando al futuro, en el que se contienen conclusiones y recomendaciones de lege ferenda para una próxima regulación de la IA en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico.

No Estado do Espírito Santo, as primeiras unidades produtivas do setor de mármore e granito tiveram início na década de 1930, e nas últimas décadas os estados do Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais e Bahia são os principais produtores de rochas ornamentais. A pesquisa concentra o estudo no município de Nova Venécia – ES, onde a unidade mais importante em termos de produção de rochas ornamentais é a Suíte Carlos Chagas, que apresentam desde texturas porfiríticas que aparecem nas zonas internas dos batólitos até texturas miloníticas e protomiloniticas, sendo estas as predominantes nas rochas desta suíte. Em particular suas rochas de cor amarela, dentre as quais ocorre o Giallo Veneciano, vendido no mercado internacional há algumas décadas. Conforme as descrições petrográficas realizadas nos laudos nos tecnológicos para a rocha ornamental Giallo Veneciano explorada na mina do Córrego Água Preta, nota-se que a composição mineralógica desse material rochoso permanece praticamente a mesma, mesmo depois de duas décadas de lavra, havendo apenas alterações na coloração em determinados locais. Com relação às propriedades tecnológicas, a rocha ornamental Giallo Venciano apresentou valores de índices físicos e compressão uniaxial melhores que os atribuídos na fase inicial de lavra, já o desgaste abrasivo Amsler e a velocidade do pulso ultrassônico tiveram valores muito semelhantes entre os ensaios realizados na fase inicial e os atuais. Contudo, os resultados atuais de resistência a flexão apresentaram grande fragilidade. A disparidade de valores encontrados apenas para o ensaio de flexão abre discussões acerca da relação entre as feições petrográficas, tais como: foliação tamanho dos cristais e suas relações com os tamanhos dos corpos de prova utilizados para a execução dos ensaios tecnológicos de rochas ornamentais. Será que as dimensões dos corpos de provas testados nos ensaios de caracterização tecnológica podem ser influenciadas por determinadas feições petrográficas? Ainda que o objetivo desse trabalho seja apenas o de correlacionar os valores das propriedades tecnológicos atribuídos a uma rocha ornamental ao longo do período de extração, abre também discussões futuras para a representatividade dos corpos de prova na caracterização das rochas ornamentais.

A mordida cruzada anterior é um tipo de maloclusão que pode gerar distúrbios no sistema estomatognático e impactar negativamente a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos afetados. A interceptação precoce da mordida cruzada anterior pode favorecer o crescimento e o desenvolvimento facial normal. Assim, objetivou-se relatar o caso clínico de uma criança com mordida cruzada anterior, levando-se em consideração o diagnóstico e o tratamento precoce. Paciente com seis anos de idade, sexo masculino e queixa principal de falta de estética no sorriso. Clinicamente, apresentava-se com mordida cruzada anterior, relação de segundos molares decíduos em degrau mesial e lábio inferior evertido. Pela avaliação radiográfica (radiografia cefalométrica), verificou-se a presença de perfil côncavo, padrão de crescimento horizontal e Classe III esquelética. O diagnóstico e o plano de tratamento foram elaborados a partir dos exames clínico e radiográfico. O tratamento instituído foi a disjunção palatina e a tração reversa da maxila. Conclui-se que o diagnóstico e o tratamento precoce da mordida cruzada anterior foram necessários, contribuindo para o crescimento e desenvolvimento normal e para a estética facial.

Fungi play a pivotal role as nature's primary decomposers, thriving in diverse environments, particularly in soil and decaying organic matter. They contribute significantly to the renewal and recycling of materials, making a substantial impact on sustainable development. While research on saprophytic fungi in tropical regions has predominantly centered around South America, there is necessary to intensify studies in the Amazon region. This area remains relatively unexplored and is believed to harbor a greater biodiversity of species compared to temperate regions. Of notable importance agronomic field is the potential for saprophytic fungi to serve as novel biocontrol agents and resistance inducers. This study aimed to assess the capabilities of saprophytic fungi native to southern Amazonia in vitro, specifically in their ability to combat phytopathogens like Colletotrichum truncatum (LU2), Colletotrichum musae, Fusarium solani, Fusarium sp., Aspergillus clavatus, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Rhizoctonia solani. The evaluation encompassed direct confrontation, sporulation, quantification of sclerodes and microsclerodes, the mycelial growth rate index (MGRI), and the percentage of inhibition. The saprophytic fungi employed in the study, Beltrania rhombica, Brachysporiella sp., Dictyochaeta sp., and Gonytrichum sp., demonstrated a significant impact in direct confrontation. These fungi exhibited varying degrees of growth inhibition against A. clavatus, C. truncatum (LU2), C. musae, and F. udum, with notes from 1 to 2. The results underscore their efficiency as promising antagonists to phytopathogens. In conclusion, the saprophytic fungi under investigation exhibit substantial potential in the control of these plant pathogens.
Anastácia e as mulheres negras encarceradas: a invisibilidade como um legado da colonialidade

Published: November 2023

Esse artigo propõe uma discussão sobre o silenciamento das mulheres negras privadas de liberdade a partir de uma reflexão sobre o racismo patriarcal como um mecanismo de manutenção das relações coloniais de poder sobre o corpo negro feminino. Em analogia à máscara de ferro de Anastácia, argumenta-se que a colonialidade silencia e aprisiona as mulheres negras, principalmente na condição de encarceramento. Com base na revisão bibliográfica, serão analisados conceitos de colonialidade alicerçados pelas perspectivas decoloniais de Aníbal Quijano e Nelson Maldonado-Torres, bem como os reflexos perversos dessa colonialidade no racismo e sexismo. Em conclusão, instrumentaliza a decolonialidade como um meio de promoção, resistência e desmonte das perspectivas ínfimas impostas às mulheres negras.
