Canvis en la superficie i el grau de fragmentació del bosc a la plana del Vallès entre els anys 1993 i 2000
Authors: Pino Joan , Rodà Ferran , Basnou Corina , Guirado Marina
Published: October 2024

En aquest article s’hi analitzen la variació en la superfície de bosc, el grau de fragmentació, les cobertes d’origen del bosc guanyat i la mida i la forma dels polígons de bosc perduts i guanyats a la plana del Vallès entre 1993 i 2000, combinant les dues edicions del mapa de cobertes del sòl de Catalunya (MCSC) amb el SIG MiraMon. La disminució del bosc dens no de ribera en aquesta zona ha estat gairebé del 3% en el període d’estudi. El bosc perdut ha esdevingut majoritàriament superfície forestal no arbrada (matollars i prats), urbana i agrícola. També hi ha hagut una certa recuperació de bosc, que no compensa les pèrdues i que prové principalment de cobertes forestals no arbrades i de conreus. S’observa també un increment de la fragmentació del bosc, que ha afectat a més del 10% de la superfície de les grans àrees boscoses. S’hi comenten finalment la validesa del mètode i les implicacions ecològiques i de conservació d’aquests resultats.
Ordenación del territorio, escasez de recursos hídricos, competencia de usos e intensificación de las demandas urbano-turísticas en la Comunidad Valenciana
Authors: Rico Amorós Antonio M. , Hernández Hernández María
Published: October 2024

A partir del acusado desequilibrio espacial de recursos hídricos existente en la Comunidad Valenciana, intensificado por la demanda, se analizan las competencias en torno al agua, que se plantean entre los regadíos y los abastecimientos urbano-turísticos. Un factor determinante es la deficiente calidad de los escasos recursos hídricos disponibles, lo que otorga un alto valor estratégico al trasvase Tajo-Segura y a los ríos alóctonos (Júcar, Turia, Segura), cuyo aprovechamiento suscita las llamadas «guerras del agua» con regiones vecinas, sobre todo con Castilla-La Mancha. Tras una evaluación detallada de los diferentes tipos de competencia, se valora la posibilidad de establecer acuerdos entre regantes y abastecimientos, para el intercambio de derechos de uso. Se concluye con un apartado dedicado a la ordenación del territorio, que incluye propuestas para la limitación y el control de las demandas urbano- turísticas.
Aportacions de l’índex de connectivitat ecològica a la planificació territorial i a l’avaluació ambiental estratègica, en el context de les recerques i les polítiques de connectivitat ecològica a Catalunya

Acrobacias fronterizas en Ceuta y Melilla. Explorando la gestión de los perímetros terrestres de la Unión Europea en el continente africano
Authors: Ferrer Gallardo Xavier
Published: October 2024

Este texto explora la evolución de la gestión de las fronteras de Ceuta y Melilla con Marruecos, a partir de la entrada de España en la Unión Europea en 1986. Se examina el perfil progresivamente acrobático de los regímenes fronterizos euroafricanos con respecto a los flujos de personas y mercancías. Asimismo, se argumenta que la administración de las fronteras entre las dos ciudades autónomas y Marruecos acentúa la lógica contradictoria de suavización y fortificación en la que se encuentra inmerso el conjunto de las fronteras exteriores de la Unión Europea.

Still surprises in store. Revisiting the ordinary in rural geography
Authors: Halfacree Keith
Published: October 2024

Since at least the early 1990s, one of the most exciting and productive areas of work within rural geography, notably in Britain but also elsewhere, has been in «neglected rural geographies ». Such work, influenced prominently by postmodernism and the «cultural turn», seeks to build up a fuller picture of the diversity and variety of lives and experiences found in rural areas today. The present paper, whilst being highly sympathetic to this work, argues that it must not lead to the neglect of the more «ordinary» in the countryside today, or what Chris Philo (1992) famously caricatured as «Mr Average». Although the lives and experiences of Mr Average may initially appear mundane, in the spirit of Henri Lefebvre’s critical engagement with the everyday, we can often find within this ordinariness more engaging, even extraordinary truths. The paper develops this argument for the study of «ordinary rural geographies » by examining the ordinary, extraordinary, and extraordinary ordinary within counterurbanisation. However, as reiterated in the conclusion, it advocates the search for the extraordinary within the ordinary across the breadth of rural geography.
Pensamiento geográfico versus teoría de la comunicación. Hacia un modelo de análisis comunicativo del paisaje
Authors: Nogué Font Joan , De San Eugenio Jordi
Published: October 2024

El estudio de las implicaciones comunicativas presentes en el paisaje abre un amplio abanico de posibilidades para el tratamiento de la dualidad entre comunicación y paisaje. Aspectos como los efectos que el paisaje genera en los procesos de comunicación humana (comunicación intrapersonal e interpersonal), el seguimiento de los procesos comunicativos mediante los cuales se mercadea con el paisaje (comunicación de masas), la construcción de imaginarios individuales y colectivos a partir de la interacción entre ciudadanía y paisaje y, más recientemente, la construcción de identidades territoriales a partir de la elaboración de una imagen de marca de ciudad o de país —léase promoción turística, citymarketing y/o branding— tienen, todos ellos, unas enormes implicaciones en las sociedades contemporáneas. Es por todo ello por lo que se hace imprescindible avanzar hacia un modelo de análisis comunicativo del paisaje, objetivo posible interrelacionando la geografía y los estudios de comunicación, dos disciplinas aparentemente alejadas una de la otra en cuanto a sus orígenes y su praxis y, sin embargo, muy cercanas en lo que respecta a la evolución reciente de sus paradigmas y en lo referente al tratamiento de determinados conceptos, como los de espacio y paisaje.

Mètodes per a l’estudi transdisciplinari del paisatge d’àrees de muntanya
Authors: Nadal Jordi , Pèlachs Albert , Soriano Joan Manuel , Molina David , Cunill Raquel , Bal Marie Claude
Published: October 2024

L’interès creixent per l’estudi del paisatge i de la seva dinàmica pretèrita i present dóna lloc a la utilització d’un gran nombre de metodologies que requereixen una aproximació transdisciplinària a partir de mètodes i de tècniques molt diferents. La proposta que es presenta aquí consisteix a interpretar el funcionament de l’espai geogràfic (entès com un sistema complex) mitjançant l’ús complementari de diversos tipus de fonts d’informació (paleobotàniques, documentals i edàfiques). El resultat és un paisatge condicionat per la dinàmica dels elements que en formen part, dels quals l’acció humana és el factor decisiu.
Paisaje, nación y literatura. Una lectura de Paisaxe e nación: A creación discursiva do territorio, por María López Sández
Authors: Vila Vázquez José Ignacio
Published: October 2024

Los conceptos de paisaje y de nación son esenciales para la geografía, pero también son estudiados desde otras disciplinas, como acontece en el presente caso de la obra estudiada, desde la literatura. En este sentido, consideramos necesario reforzar la interdisciplinariedad en estos estudios. Para ello, analizamos lo que este ensayo de María López Sández puede tener de enriquecedor para la geografía, especialmente el proceso de creación y capacidad de transformación del paisaje y de la nación, a través de las obras literarias y del proceso mitificador al que éstas contribuyen. De esta forma, concluimos que aporta unas ideas a considerar desde un punto de vista prospectivo para defender naciones en situación de subalternidad.

El reagrupament familiar a la província de Barcelona, 2004-2006. Trets demogràfics i disribució territorial
Authors: Domingo Andreu , León Pablo , Garcia Joan
Published: October 2024

El reagrupament familiar és un dels fenòmens que desperta més interès en l‘estudi de les migracions internacionals. En primer lloc, perquè, amb el temps, els corrents migratoris que es deriven del reagrupament familiar tendeixen a adquirir més protagonisme, tant que, de vegades, el volum que acapara acaba superant uns altres fluxos. D‘altra banda, el reagrupament familiar canvia substancialment l‘estructura demogràfica de la població de nacionalitat estrangera resident, i aquest canvi genera necessitats noves i demandes específiques. L‘interès sobre aquest fenomen a l‘Estat espanyol contrasta, això no obstant, amb la manca de dades disponibles sobre les característiques sociodemogràfiques, tant dels reagrupadors com dels reagrupats. En aquest article, s‘hi fa, per primer cop, una anàlisi exhaustiva de les característiques demogràfiques i de la distribució territorial de les persones involucrades en els permisos de reagrupació familiar concedits entre 2004 i 2006 a la província de Barcelona.
Una proposta metodològica de delimitació d’àmbits industrials bàsics. El Vallès Occidental com a exemple
Authors: Cebollada i Frontera Àngel , Miralles-Guasch Carme
Published: October 2024

L’aparició, en les darreres dècades, de polígons industrials en espais suburbans i segregats, en molts casos, de les trames ciutadanes tradicionals ha transformat profundament el paisatge urbà, però aquest nou model territorial no ha anat acompanyat de l’establiment de noves delimitacions espacials que permetin gestionar de manera més eficaç la nova realitat territorial sorgida. Aquest article vol contribuir a debatre la gestió dels polígons industrials amb la proposta de la creació d’uns àmbits industrials bàsics (AIB) que respongui d’una manera més acurada a les noves formes morfològiques i organitzatives que adquireix el territori urbà. La proposta es basa en l’assaig d’establir AIB al Vallès Occidental com a comarca amb una de les presències de polígons industrials més nombroses de Catalunya.

THE DISTRIBUTION AND USE OF TAX REVENUES IN THE COUNTRIES WITH HIGHINCOME INEQUALITY
Authors:   FACULDADE DE DIREITO DE VITÓRIA, FABRIZ DAURY , Siqueira Julio Homem
Published: October 2024

The global sanitary crisis affected deeply the life of people, especially the more economic fragile ones. The impact of the changes can be considered as the announce of a new paradigmatic era. Concepts as “crisis”, “new normal”, “syndemics” arise from several flanks and require an evaluation from the point of view ongoing. States economically weaker will certainly have to reorganize themselves due to the budgetary issues directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which include the tax system reforms. On the one hand, there is a duty to contribute to public spending, since rights have their costs; on the other, the tax burden cannot be confiscatory, otherwise it will mitigate the feeling of duty. For this, the problem of a tax reform in times of exception is its legitimacy, especially considered principles of legal certainty, morality and efficiency in an environment of global capitalism.
INSTITUTIONAL AND TECHNICAL PREVENTION FROM ABUSE OF EMERGENCY POWER
Authors:   CHINESE ACADEMY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES, JIHONG MO
Published: October 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic has been on the rise for more than three years, and there is no indication of when it will end. This global pandemic is indeed a test of human governance. In a traditional non-risk society where natural disasters are relatively mild, the greatest violation of individual freedom is undoubtedly the conflict of interest and value confrontations among people. Public power is placed on double high expectations by the political system that guarantees individual freedom: one is to establish an effective institutional protection barrier for various violations of human rights to prevent individuals from harming each other; the other is the modesty of public power itself, that is to say, in the process of protecting individual freedom, public power cannot use human rights violations as a means and premise. However, the good operation of the above-mentioned political system design on individual freedom is conditional, that is, the protection level of individual freedom is relatively high, and there is no scientific assessment of the ability of public power to protect human rights through institutional means. The rampant spread of COVID-19 has forced politicians from all over the world to rethink a simple issue of state governance and social governance, that is, how to add the variables of the relationship between man and nature to the freedom guarantee system for dealing with the relationship between people. Whether the degree of realization is to be redefined, there is no doubt that the ability of public power to protect freedom must be taken into account. There must be both institutional arrangements and technical support. Institutional design alone is not enough. All the technological capabilities of human beings so far assembled based on public power are a decisive factor. In fact, for natural disasters such as COVID-19, for which the pathological mechanism has not yet been understood, the technical level of the existing epidemic prevention capabilities is still low, which means that the institutional control of emergency powers in epidemic prevention needs to be supported by technical means. How to achieve a qualitative breakthrough in epidemic prevention technology is a major governance issue that global politicians should consider at present and for some time to come.
THE APPLICATION OF THE BRAINSTORMING TECHNIQUE IN LEGAL EDUCATION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Eliezer Cristina Rezende
Published: October 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the educational sector, compelling teachers, and students to adapt to remote teaching. In this context, the brainstorming technique has gained prominence as a tool to stimulate creativity and promote conjectures for the resolution of legal problems in law school. This chapter aims to explore the possibilities of applying the brainstorming technique in the legal education, highlighting its potential to enhance the development of creative processes. Through bibliographic and documentary research, the study examines the dimensions of creativity in the teaching and learning process during the pandemic and the specific application of brainstorming in legal education. The technique is known for enhancing the emergence of ideas, problematization, and systematization, privileging the construction of scientific knowledge by valorizing the previous knowledge of all group members. By fostering a reflection on the (re)significance of legal language and focusing on interdisciplinary methodological techniques, this chapter seeks to contribute to a more effective interaction between teachers and students, enabling the structuring of ideas that solve legal demands through the exercise of creativity. The study concludes that brainstorming is a valuable tool for law school education, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, as it promotes creative thinking and critical thinking skills essential for addressing the complex social relations and legal challenges that arise in times of crisis.
STATE AND PROTECTION OF WOMEN VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: AN ANALYSIS OF THE PRE, DURING AND POST COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Published: October 2024

In the Covid-19 pandemic, it was possible to realize that the routine of most of the inhabitants worldwide changed quite drastic and unexpectedly. Since the confirmation of the outbreak of the disease in the city of Wuhan, China, in December 2019, the population has been forced to experience social containment measures applied by governments of several countries, including Brazil, as promising attempts to reduce the spread of the virus. Among them, social isolation stands out, being considered, by most authorities, a reliable strategy to control the exponential increase in cases of both the disease itself and its daily consequences which have revealed other shades of violence emerging in the embarrassment of prolonged coexistence due a sequence of causes such as: the disruption of routines; the imposition of home office work, often in cramped spaces and lacking access to technological equipment, reliable internet connectivity and energy supply; little or fragile capacity to adapt to the disruptive context of the pandemic; as well as tension within the space limits between work and study in economically vulnerable family groups.
GLOBAL JUSTICE, RULE OF LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS, CONNECTIONS AND DISCONNECTIONS FROM A LEGAL AND POLICY PERSPECTIVE
Authors:   UNIVERSIDAD MAYOR DE CHILE, NEIRA SERGIO
Published: October 2024

Certainly, the concepts of Justice, Human Rights, and Rule of Law are inextricably linked, prompting us to question how they are related and why. This contribution will briefly focus on the latter query and expand upon the former. My hypothesis posits that law and policy, particularly international law and international policy, have fostered this relationship by enacting international treaties and developing international principles and customs that protect human rights and the environment, which are fundamental to the safety and well-being of humanity. It is arguable that human rights epitomize justice in international law and policy, within which the international rule of law still applies. While criticisms against the international rule of law have been expressed in tandem with those against international law and policy, it remains indisputable that international law and international policy govern the conduct of nations
Does preheating affect the microleakage of bulk-fill composite restorations?
Authors: Aktuğ Karademir Sultan , Akarsu Serdar
Published: October 2024

Aim: Microleakage is one of the most important factors in restoration failure in today’s dentistry. The aim of this in vitro study is to evaluate the microleakage of preheated bulk-fill composites.
Methodology: In the study, 160 slot cavities prepared in the mesial and distal of 80 molar teeth were used. In the gingival of the cavities, Estelite Bulk Fill Flow (Tokuyama, Tokyo, Japan) in the mesial and SDR® Posterior Bulk Fill Flowable Base (Dentsply, DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany) in the distal were used, and the remaining occlusal parts were restored using FiltekTM One Bulk Fill Restorative (3M, St Paul, MN, US). Composites were applied at four different temperatures (4oC, room temperature, 39oC and 55oC). After finishing and polishing, specimens were thermocycled and then placed in 0.5% methylene blue for 24 hours. Specimens were sectioned into two parts in a mesiodistal direction, and the microleakage levels were examined by a stereomicroscope (x40).
Results: In the statistical evaluation of the microleakage levels of FiltekTM One Bulk Fill Restorative applied at four different temperatures on the occlusal surface with One-way ANOVA, it was observed that there was a significant difference between the groups (p=0.02). In the comparison of the microleakage values of Estelite Bulk Fill Flow applied in the gingival region with the one-way ANOVA test at four different temperatures, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p>0.05), while there was a significant difference between the groups using SDR® Posterior Bulk Fill Flowable Base (p=0.002). The highest microleakage values were observed at 4oC in all groups.
Conclusion: The results obtained in the study show that heating bulk fill composites before polymerization is effective in reducing microleakages, but longer in vivo studies are required.

However, many users are worried because of the rampant fraud committed by irresponsible people, because of this unrest, the perpetrators of land public transportation service providers have begun to use technology in their transaction system, this aims to minimize the existence of passengers who do not have tickets and unauthorized ticket sellers. This research uses the SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) method because it can provide the approach and structure needed in system planning and development. This system was created using the PHP programming language and the CodeIgniter Framework in the development of the system. the utilization of QR Code technology on the system is as a way to encode the code on the ticket into an E-Ticket without using paper, besides aiming to increase security, the QR Code also provides efficiency in the ticket transaction process. The use of this website is also more structured because it prevents damage or loss of tickets, increases time efficiency and increases sales. The result of this research is the successful design of a bus E-Ticket system that uses a QR Code and is website-based.
The relationship of foot anthropometry with countermovement jump and squat jump performance among male university-level athletes
Authors: Babu Tim S. , Thapa Rohit Kumar
Published: October 2024

This study assessed the relationship between foot anthropometry with countermovement jump (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ) performance among university-level male athletes. A total of 51 male athletes were selected from different sports. Various gross and acute anthropometric measurements were conducted. Each participant performed three CMJs and SJs each. Standing height has a moderate positive correlation with CMJ force (ρ = .368, p = .008) and power (ρ = .326, p = .019). Body mass demonstrated a high positive association with CMJ force (ρ = .568, p = .001) and a moderate positive correlation with power (ρ = .446, p = .001). The lower leg length was moderately positively correlated with CMJ flight time (ρ = .316, p = .024) (ρ = .311, p = .026), velocity (ρ = .304, p = .030), and power and showed a weak positive correlation with CMJ height (ρ = .290), p = .039). Foot length had a moderate positive correlation with CMJ force (ρ = .419, p = .002) and power (ρ = .377, p = .002). Conversely, a weak negative correlation was observed between foot arch height and both CMJ height (ρ = -.286, p = .042) and CMJ velocity (ρ = -.285, p = .043). These findings suggest the significant relationships between specific anthropometric characteristics with CMJ and SJ performance. However, the correlations showed moderate or lower strengths, underscoring the importance of further investigation.

Personality traits, interests, and values in medical students: a proposal for a vocational assessment tool for specialty choice
Authors: Cortez Fernanda Cestaro Prado , Figueiredo Danielle Soraya da Silva , Porfirio Gustavo Bianchini , Melhem Júnior Abrão José , Figueiredo David Livingstone Alves
Published: October 2024

Choosing a medical specialty is a complex, multifactorial process, influenced by a range of factors, including personal motivations, experiences during medical school, job opportunities and remuneration, career stability, availability of residency positions, personality traits, cultural values, sociodemographic factors, and others. The increasing number of medical graduates directly impacts this decision, intensifying competition for residency positions. Universities play a key role in guiding graduates through this decision-making process. However, further research is needed to assist both teachers and students in identifying the most relevant factors influencing this choice. This study aims to explore these factors, considering the individual characteristics of both the medical student and the specialist doctor. It represents the initial step in a research agenda that seeks to develop a psychometric vocational tool to aid in selecting a medical specialty.

Con estos resultados logramos estabilizar al paciente, lo cual permitió la realización de más exámenes complementarios, obteniéndose en la toracocentesis una muestra para citología, se llevaron a cabo exámenes de imagen complementarios como; tomografía computarizada (TC) con y sin contraste. Los estudios histopatológicos e inmunohistoquímica confirmaron la presencia de un linfoma mediastínico de células pequeñas T. Conclusión La leucemia felina se asocia fuertemente al desarrollo de linfoma mediastínico y otros linfomas. La presentación tardía de los signos clínicos dificulta el tratamiento y disminuye significativamente la supervivencia. El diagnóstico definitivo requiere la confirmación histopatológica e inmunohistoquímica, siendo crucial la estadificación para determinar el tratamiento óptimo y descartar metástasis.

The choice of anchorage and strengthen support parameters for again use workings in Russian mines is regulated by the «Instructions for the calculation and application of anchorage in coal mines». As for strengthens support, it does not always give adequate results. Studies conducted at one of the mines of the Russian Donbass have shown that up to a depth of 630 m, the specified instruction gives parameters generally corresponding to the operating conditions of the mine. And further, with an increase in the depth of mining operations, the resistance of the strengthens support, determined according to the instructions, turns out to be clearly insufficient. In this regard, at the specified mine, a strengthen pedestal made of wooden-concrete blocks (BDB), not provided for in the instructions, began to be used as a strengthen support. As mining operations deepened, the share of the pedestal support in the total resistance of the strengthen support increased. The pedestal reinforcement support made of BDB has a high resistance and allows you to effectively maintain workings in difficult operating conditions. In addition, it is much cheaper than metal support of the same resistance. Changes must be made to the instruction: the algorithm for determining the resistance of the support must take into account the depth of mining operations, to provide for the use of a pedestal support made of BDB as a reinforcement support.

Authors: Muna Rauzatul , Abrar Muhammad , Nasir Muhammad
Published: October 2024

Indonesia continues to contend with elevated levels of poverty, reflecting the diminished well-being experienced by a segment of its population. Various socio-economic factors influence the poverty rate. It is hypothesized that domestic and foreign investments, workforce participation, and the Human Development Index (HDI) could reduce poverty, while unemployment and inflation might exacerbate it. However, previous research has not reached a consensus on these relationships. This study examines the impact of domestic and foreign investments, labor force, unemployment, HDI, and inflation on poverty levels in Indonesia. The research employs panel data regression analysis, utilizing data from 34 Indonesian provinces spanning 2006 to 2022. The findings indicate that the fixed effect model is the most appropriate for this analysis. The study concludes that domestic investment, foreign investment, and labor force have a significant negative correlation with poverty. Conversely, unemployment demonstrates a significant positive relationship with poverty rates. Notably, the HDI and inflation do not significantly affect poverty in Indonesia. To address these issues, the Indonesian government should focus on enhancing domestic and foreign investor confidence by improving legal certainty and offering various incentives to stimulate investment. Furthermore, the government must prioritize improving education and healthcare services to elevate HDI and alleviate poverty.

Authors: Julius Julius , Lyimo Gregory , Omary Fatma
Published: October 2024

Agency banking has become crucial for expanding financial inclusion by offering banking services to underserved urban and rural areas. This study examines the behavioral factors affecting customers' continued intention to adopt agency banking using the Expectation-Confirmation Model (ECM). Data was gathered through closed-ended questionnaires distributed via Google Forms and drop-off/pick-up methods, resulting in 166 responses analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using SMARTPLS 4.0 software. Findings indicate that customers’ satisfaction, subjective norms, perceived usefulness, and perceived convenience significantly and positively impact the continued intention to adopt agency banking. However, perceived cost and perceived trust were not significant. Additionally, perceived usefulness and confirmation significantly and positively impact customer satisfaction, while confirmation significantly impacts perceived usefulness. Mediation analysis showed that satisfaction and perceived usefulness significantly mediate the relationships examined. To enhance customers' intention to continue using agency banking, policymakers should develop strategies that promote communal culture, positive behavior towards agency banking, increased services, and broader understanding of its benefits. This research offers insights for academics and practitioners on improving adoption strategies and policies to boost financial inclusion.

AI, through algorithms and learning models, allows professionals to access critical information and evidence for clinical decision-making.
Methods: A systematic review of observational studies was carried out, it was used as a warning or instruction in Generative AI. The above was complemented with MesH words and health descriptors, Boolean operators were used. The search was made of original research, summaries, articles, and gray literature. The selection and extraction was done in Embase, Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Library databases to later read them and perform meta-analysis.
Results: The implementation of AI facilitated the personalization of patient care, improving efficiency in diagnoses and care plans. They found that AI-powered systems allowed nurses to manage workloads more effectively and respond to complex situations more quickly. However, concerns were also raised about privacy and ethics in data handling.Conclusions: AI has the potential to significantly transform nursing practice by optimizing processes and improving clinical outcomes. Despite its advantages, it is essential to address the ethical and legal challenges associated with its use. Collaboration between nursing and engineering is essential to ensure effective and responsible integration of AI into healthcare.

The objective of the study is to highlight the strategic role of different intangible assets like sustainability practices in driving commitment from workers. The study utilizes Intellectual capital-based view theory to explain the role of sustainability practices in driving organizational cultural values, or long-term relationships among the firm and its stakeholders - customers, allies, and suppliers. The company in general is gaining competitive advantages in being useful to the society where it does business. A survey is used to collect data from automobile industry. This industry is chosen based on their higher carbon foot prints. The results of the survey presented important clues and specific pattern in the first instance. Further structural equation modeling (SEM)-based approach is used to test the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The results assure the indirect influence of soft practices on employee commitment in the organization. This study provides useful insights into the impact of sustainability practices on the human capital management in the organization. After the data analysis it was concluded that sustainability practices have a mediating effect on employee behavior and they influence the organizational commitment of an employee.
Wall, Wall in the Mirror: Which Is the Sturdiest of Them All?
Authors: Li Terra
Published: October 2024

This research examines the comparative effectiveness of physical versus virtual border walls in managing illegal border crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border, focusing on Yuma, Arizona, and Laredo, Texas. It addresses the question of which type of infrastructure is more efficient in reducing migration and how these approaches influence crossing patterns. Previous studies have largely concentrated on other factors of migration such as economic conditions, overlooking the role of evolving border security systems. This gap in the literature calls for a deeper analysis of these evolving strategies. Utilizing U.S. Customs and Border Protection data from 2020 to 2024, the study analyzes border encounters in these regions, employing time series analysis to investigate shifts in crossing rates and demographic trends. Our findings reveal that physical barriers are effective when properly maintained but lose deterrence power when consistent maintenance and construction is absent. Conversely, virtual walls provide consistent monitoring but are less effective in significantly deterring crossings. Both methods present significant ethical concerns, as physical walls drive migrants to more dangerous routes, while virtual walls amplify surveillance and privacy issues. We conclude that a hybrid approach, integrating physical and technological solutions, could better balance migration management with ethical border enforcement.
Odgovornost i otvorenost prirodnih nauka
Authors: Milošević Dejan
Published: October 2024

Znanje dolazi kao rezultat spoznajnog procesa. U području prirodnih nauka, pored toga što takvo znanje mora biti istinito, ono mora biti i odgovorno. Savremena dostignuća nauke i tehnike stavljaju naglasak na odgovornost više nego ikada u prošlosti. Nuklearna energija može da uništi svijet kakav poznajemo, ali može biti i nepresušni izvor energije potrebne za opstanak i razvoj čovječanstva. Da li će taj traženi “sveti gral” biti energija fuzije ili neki drugi neočekivani izvor energije tek treba otkriti. Pri tome treba voditi računa ne samo o korisnosti već i o etičnosti i moralnosti znanja i o učincima na pojedinca i cijelo društvo. Najnoviji primjer je primjena vještačke inteligencije koja bi mogla dovesti do revolucionarnih promjena. Pitanje je da li se pri razvoju vještačke inteligencije vodi dovoljno računa o etičnosti i moralnosti. Nezaobilazno je spomenuti i klimatske promjene koje već dovode do pogoršanih uslova života u određenim područjima i do migracija. Važno pitanje je i dostupnost rezultata spoznajnog procesa, tj. znanja. Plodovi znanja trebaju biti dostupni svima. U novije vrijeme zagovara se tzv. otvorena nauka (Open science). Na primjeru naučnih časopisa ukazat ću na niz problema sa kojima se suočava naučna zajednica, posebno u siromašnim zemljama (npr. problem tzv. open access časopisa, tj. časopisa kojima se može besplatno pristupiti, ali se objavljivanje naučnih rezultata u tim časopisima plaća).
Znanstvena kultura u biomedicini i možebitni izazovi za bosanskohercegovačku znanstvenu zajednicu
Authors: Arapović Jurica
Published: October 2024

Znanstvena kultura obuhvaća niz pisanih i nepisanih pravila, vrijednosti, praksi i običaja koji predstavljaju način rada i ponašanje znanstvene zajednice. Stoga je uobičajeno da ona oblikuje ponašanje znanstvenika i kvalitetu njegovog rada kroz promicanje integriteta, kolegijalnosti, transparentnosti, otvorenosti i kritičkog promišljanja. Sve to rezultira u društvenoj odgovornosti svakog znanstvenika te pomaže zajednici u rješavanju određenih izazova i problema uz unaprjeđenje zdravlja i kvalitete života. Ne umanjujući značaj ostalih područja znanosti, istraživanja u biomedicini prožeta su visokim standardom poštivanja etičkih načela, kao i svih drugih aspekata znanstvene kulture, što nazivamo znanstvenom čestitošću. Bosna i Hercegovina je na globalnoj mapi među zemljama u razvoju i svakako da se nalazi pred izazovima u raznim sociološkim i znanstvenoistraživačkim aspektima. Takvi izazovi zahtijevaju prije svega visoki stupanj kompetentnosti u bilo kojoj znanstvenoistraživačkoj djelatnosti, a napose u biomedicini. Tijekom pandemije COVID-19 bili smo svjedoci kako je naša znanstvena zajednica u ključnim trenucima upravljala takvom krizom, noseći se s mnogobrojnim teškim izazovima. Uzimajući sve u obzir, postavlja se pitanje može li se znanstvena kultura i integritet znanstvene zajednice u biomedicini još više oplemeniti jačanjem znanstvene čestitosti i kritičnim promišljanjem kroz institucionalni rad kako državnih tako i visokoškolskih ustanova. U ovom radu će se istaknuti neki od ključnih problema u znanstvenoistraživačkoj biomedicinskoj djelatnosti koji mogu negativno utjecati na bosanskohercegovačku znanstvenu kulturu u cijelosti. Osim toga, ukazat će se na moguća rješenja takvih problema, kako bismo kao društvo u cjelini bili napredniji i zadovoljniji unatoč izazovima koje nameću suvremeni civilizacijski dosezi.
