The Concept of “Conjuring” the World as a Way to Deconstruct the Image of the Community: Around the Exhibition of Małgorzata Mirga-Tas
Authors: Szoska Maria Dorota
Published: December 2023

The article describes the Polish Pavilion at the Biennale Arte (2022), where, due to the works of Małgorzata Mirga-Tas, the “re-enchantment” of Romani people history took place. At the exhibition, the artist representing Poland presented the alternative history of the Romani or – using Ariella A. Azoulay’s term – “potential” history. The author of the article examines how Mirga-Tas implements the idea of community, while making space for the individual. The artist, without any Romani representations, created her own graphic fantasy, rejecting historical testimonies; the fantasy presented in the text as an identity attempt and the creation of a collective self-portrait at the same time. In the second part of the article, the author inquires if the concept of “re-enchantment” can be used in didactics of the Polish language and reflects on the question of how to emancipate Romani culture at school in order to work through the one-dimensional image of the Romani described as the Other of Europe. The essence of re-enchantment lies in repairing what has been damaged by violence or prejudice.

Published: December 2023

Geographical Inquiry is a mindset with which students can identify geographical phenomena through learning models to train students to think analytically. This research was conducted to know the effect of the geographical research learning model on analytical patterns. The research conducted is included in pseudo-experimental research with two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class, which is in accordance with the results of the UTS scores in the even semester. The subjects in this study were students of grade 11 Social Studies Department 1 as the control class and 11 Social Studies Department 2 as the experimental class at MA AL UMM. Data collection used by researchers is pre-test and post-test testing techniques. The resulting data can be analysed using an independent sample t-test. The results of the analysis obtained from the t-test show that the sig value (2-tailed) of the average Gain Score in the experimental class is 12 while in the control class it is 4.5 The difference in the average Gain Score between the experimental and control groups is 7.5 which means that everyone increase in variable X (geographical inquiry model), the value of variable Y (learning outcomes) will increase. So, the experimental class has a more excellent average than the control class, so Ho is rejected. It can be concluded that learning geographical inquiry has an effect on the geographical analytical thinking of Grade 11 social studies students at MA AL UMM.

Published: December 2023

Introducción: La oftalmopatía tiroidea (OT) es un trastorno debilitante en pacientes con enfermedad tiroidea autoinmune, principalmente enfermedad de Graves, que se desarrolla entre el 30 a 50% de los casos. Objetivos: Describir las características clínico-oftalmológicas y la evolución de los pacientes con oftalmopatía tiroidea activa moderada severa tratados con bolos de metilprednisolona que acuden al Hospital Central del Instituto de Previsión Social en el tiempo comprendido entre enero de 2018 y setiembre de 2021. Materiales y métodos: Investigación de diseño observacional, con estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo. Resultados: Se revisaron fichas de 34 pacientes con OT activa moderada severa que recibieron bolos de metilprednisolona basado en las guías EUGOGO 2016, de los cuáles se excluyeron 3 pacientes por tener fichas incompletas y otros 3 pacientes ya que requirieron tratamiento de segunda línea previo al término del esquema de 12 sesiones. De los 28 pacientes estudiados, la edad promedio fue de 43,6 ±13,1 años, el 89% de sexo femenino y el 28,5%, fumadores. En cuanto a la función tiroidea de la población previo al tratamiento, se constató hipertiroidismo en el 82%, hipotiroidismo en el 11% y eutiroidismo en el 7%; y posterior al tratamiento, se constató hipertiroidismo en el 78,6% (subclínico), eutiroidismo en el 17,9% e hipotiroidismo en el 3,5%. La mayoría (92.6%) contaba con anticuerpos contra el receptor de TSH positivo, con un promedio de 18 ± 9,9 mIU/Ml. Respecto a la actividad de la oftalmopatía según la escala CAS, se constató un promedio de 4,1 ±1,0 previo al tratamiento y posterior 1,2 ±1,4; de ellos el 46,4% presentó un estado leve según escala de gravedad, 39% sin criterios de gravedad y 14 % persistió en moderada -severa. Se constató mejoría de la agudeza visual tras el tratamiento (57,1%), el promedio de exoftalmía previo al tratamiento fue 22,2 mm y posterior 21,1 mm; se presentó diplopía en el 7,1% previo al tratamiento y en el 3,6% posterior al tratamiento. Conclusión: El tratamiento con glucocorticoides endovenosos en la oftalmopatía de Graves moderada-severa (esquema EUGOGO 2016) fue muy efectivo, revirtiendo la actividad y consecuentemente ayudando a disminuir la gravedad, en la gran mayoría de nuestros pacientes. Esto podría explicarse porque la oftalmopatía era incipiente y por el alto grado de adherencia de los pacientes en el contexto de un manejo multidisciplinar bien protocolizado.

Authors: Naik Vinayak Gourish , Gouthami G  , Donepudi Nandakishore , Rai Kirthi Kumar , Kumar H R Shiva
Published: December 2023

: Anterior mandibular fracture management is commonly dealt in oral and maxillofacial surgery and most accepted treatment modality is open reduction and internal fixation with miniplates. With ongoing research, various shapes of miniplates were tried for osteosynthesis and biomechanical properties tested in invitro studies, but they lack testing in clinical scenarios. The present study was conducted to compare clinically and radio graphically, the efficacy of double Y-shaped mini plate with two conventional 4 hole mini plates in management of anterior mandibular fractures.

: Study consisted of 20 patients, 10 in each group with anterior mandibular fractures. 10 patients (group 1) were treated with double ‘Y’ shaped miniplate with bar and 10 patients (group 2) with conventional 4 hole two miniplates. Clinically post-operative Pain, edema, occlusion, neurosensory deficit and wound healing were assessed. Clinical evaluation was done at 1st postop day, 1st week, and 1st and 3rd month postoperatively. Radiographic evaluation was done to record fracture gap in both the groups and timing for plate adaptation and fixation was recorded intra-operatively. The data was recorded and statistical analysis was done.

: Clinical and radiographic evaluation done for each group did not show any statistical difference at 3 months postoperatively. However significant difference was noted in time taken for adaptation and fixation of plates and screws. Double ‘Y’ shaped miniplate was found to be easier to place and required less time to adapt and fix to bone compared to 4-hole miniplates.

The study concluded that the double ‘Y’ miniplate and conventional 4-hole miniplates are found to be equally effective for clinical use in treatment of anterior mandibular fractures. The double ‘Y’ miniplate were found to be superior in terms of handling characteristics, less hardware and better radiographic outcome when compared to conventional 4-hole miniplates.

Bots as an online communication tool in the political process on the example of the EDC-2023 in Russia
Authors: Sokolov Alexander V. , Mironova Svetlana V.
Published: December 2023

The article presents a brief theoretical overview of the types of bots, the purposes of their use, identification methods, and also examines global political campaigns with the active use of automated systems. Using the example of the 2023 regional election campaign, an empirical study was conducted, the purpose of which is to identify the features of using bot systems in online communication of the authorities represented by candidates and society. The study was conducted on the basis of open data from the VKontakte social network - all publications were selected in which candidates for the election of heads of regions for the period from August 28 to September 10, 2023 were mentioned. A total of 21 regions and 116 candidates were analyzed. The largest number of bots is typical for Moscow, the Moscow Region, the Republic of Khakassia, and the Pskov region. The detection of bots was based on the method of static signs: the same / similar text of the post, the absence of user activity, the absence of real photos, the lack of a personal profile. The data obtained allowed us to formulate conclusions about the use of bots to create a positive and neutral agenda. At the same time, the publications created automatically had zero or low views, which indicates their invisibility to the final audience and inability to influence the formation of public opinion. However, data on the mention of candidates and the presence of their positive image in the social network can be used in the preparation of administrative or analytical reports.

Published: December 2023

The spread of electronic means of communication has given rise to a wide range of communicative situations and, accordingly, has opened up new aspects of communicative phenomena that require research from the standpoint of different scientific disciplines. One of the tasks of scientific research is, according to the authors, the study of the construction of a message that implements the motivational components of communicants. From a scientific point of view, such a study makes it possible to identify patterns of reflection in speech communication of the elements of the psychological structure of the authors and the features and communicative strategy that they choose in this communication situation. In practical terms, the data obtained in such a study can be considered from the standpoint of preventing typical mistakes in the organization of interpersonal dialogue in network discourse, and the analysis will contribute to improving the effectiveness of virtual interaction. Using the terminology of information theory, the authors explain that in fact, the interaction unfolding in social networks, forums and blogs is not limited to the transmission and reception of content. In psychological science, each act of communication is considered in the unity of four components, namely: actually information exchange, perception by communicators of each other, building some kind of joint activity, as well as broadcasting and perception of emotions. In the context of studying communicative strategies, the authorsanalyzed how strategies and tactics of communicative dialogue are chosen, how expedient they are, in accordance with the actualized task of the act of communication, and how optimally strategically designed they are.

КОМПАКТНЫЕ РАЗБИЕНИЯ НА ТОПОЛОГИЧЕСКИХ ГРАФАХ БОЛЬШОЙ РАЗМЕРНОСТИ
Authors: Погребной Александр Владимирович , Погребной Андрей Владимирович
Published: December 2023

Актуальность. Распределенные системы, содержащие сотни и тысячи объектов, как правило, строятся в виде иерархических структур. В этих структурах объекты нижнего уровня объединяются в подмножества для подключения к соответствующим центрам. Существующие алгоритмы не способны успешно решать задачи структуризации на множествах такой размерности. Поэтому необходимы новые алгоритмы, пригодные для решения задач структуризации на множествах, содержащих тысячи объектов. Цель: разработка алгоритма формирования компактного разбиения на множествах большой размерности, содержащих до тысячи объектов, расположенных на заданной территории. Методы: прикладная теория графов, методы линейного программирования, построения и анализа эффективности алгоритмов, теория компактных разбиений, компактных множеств объектов и их скоплений. Результаты. Территориальное расположение множества объектов распределенной системы предлагается представлять в виде топологического графа. Для повышения эффективности работы алгоритма формирования компактных множеств и выделения скоплений вводится понятие зоны активного поиска ближайших вершин. Это дает возможность матрицу расстояний между вершинами графа заменить списком инциденторов вершин, сформированных на основе зоны активного поиска. Разработан алгоритм приближенного решения задачи компактного разбиения множества объектов топологического графа, представленного списком инциденторов вершин, на заданное число подмножеств. Алгоритм для каждого объекта рекурентным образом наращивает мощность компактных множеств, анализирует образовавшиеся скопления и при определенных условиях переходит к формированию компактного разбиения. Задача формирования подмножеств компактного разбиения на основе скоплений формируется как задача линейного программирования транспортного типа. Изложение алгоритма сопровождается примером.
La conceptualización de los canales cortos de comercialización
Authors: Cendón Maria Laura , Bruno Mariana Paola , Lacaze María Victoria , Molpeceres María Celeste , Zulaica María Laura
Published: December 2023

La pandemia de la COVID-19 profundizó la discusión en torno al modelo global alimentario hegemónico, al tiempo que dio lugar a la proliferación de interacciones rural‑periurbano‑urbano en el abastecimiento de las ciudades, lo que generó cambios en las relaciones sociales de producción, circulación y consumo de alimentos. Existen distintos enfoques que hacen referencia a estos procesos y aportan conceptos tales como canales cortos de comercialización y redes alimentarias alternativas. Sin embargo, no existen definiciones universalmente aceptadas por la comunidad científica, ni una conceptualización consensuada a nivel local, que permita una sistematización y comparación de las experiencias. Esta particularidad presenta la oportunidad de reflexionar críticamente para avanzar hacia propuestas de conceptualización contextualizadas. Es por ello que el objetivo de este artículo es proponer una conceptualización del término canales cortos de comercialización y la elaboración de una tipología en el sudeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, que permitan adquirir un mayor conocimiento de los mismos. Para ello, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica identificando distintas dimensiones, con el objetivo de alcanzar una definición que permita la sistematización de experiencias, su caracterización, cuantificación y consecuente visibilización. De esta forma, se generarán insumos para la construcción de políticas públicas destinadas al fortalecimiento sectorial.
On the Newton-Raphson method and its modifications
Authors: Triana Laverde Juan Gabriel
Published: December 2023

The Newton-Raphson method, also known as Newton's method, is a method for finding successively better approximations to the roots of a real-valued function, starting with an initial guess, being useful even for generating fractals when we consider complex functions. It is a fast method, but convergence is not guaranteed, which is the reason why several modifications of that method have been proposed. Here we present some modifications of the Newton-Raphson method, and we study the convergence of those methods through cases.
Evolución del modelo universitario de la Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) de Nicaragua: entre el somocismo excluyente y el sandinismo revolucionario (1960-1982
Authors: Fonseca-Zúñiga Edgardo
Published: December 2023

Objetivo: Examinar la evolución del modelo universitario de la Universidad Centroamericana (UCA), manifestado en su adhesión política, misión y proyección social, con el fin de determinar la posición de este centro de estudios en conexión con la sociedad y los procesos políticos vividos en Nicaragua durante el periodo estudiado, en especial la transición del somocismo al sandinismo.
Originalidad/aporte: Se evidencia la vinculación entre el modelo universitario y el modelo político en Nicaragua, en especial las transformaciones surgidas con el cambio radical de un régimen autoritario a un gobierno revolucionario. Además, se ofrece el estudio de una universidad privada, ámbito original pues la mayoría de estudios sobre educación superior centroamericana se concentran en el análisis de universidades estatales.
Método: Se aplicó un análisis de contenido sobre documentos oficiales emitidos por las autoridades de la UCA, artículos publicados en revistas culturales de intelectuales ligados a la UCA y a la legislación producida por las autoridades nacionales en torno a políticas de educación superior.
Estrategia/recolección de información: Se revisaron números publicados durante el periodo en estudio de Encuentro: Revista Académica de la Universidad Centroamericana y la Revista del Pensamiento Conservador. Junto a esto se consultaron Lecciones Inaugurales e Informes de Labores de la Rectoría de la UCA. Además de la Gaceta Oficial de Nicaragua y decretos de la Junta de Gobierno de Reconstrucción Nacional (JGRN).
Conclusiones: Se identificó en el inicio de la UCA, durante el somocismo, un discurso católico conservador, con corte humanista y una revaloración nacionalista. Es claro el discurso anticomunista de sus autoridades y la intención de contraponer un sistema de pensamiento cristiano como alternativa al materialismo ateo marxista. La intención es promover un sistema de valores católico para la aplicación de la política Desarrollista, humanizando así a la sociedad. Hacia la década de 1970 se nota un posicionamiento más crítico con respecto a la cuestión social y los intelectuales de la UCA apelan a un cristianismo más activo que buscó transformar a la sociedad nicaragüense a partir del análisis de los problemas nacionales. Con el triunfo del sandinismo en 1979 el discurso de la UCA se identificó con el proyecto revolucionario, afirmando su misión como instrumento para la creación del "hombre nuevo" y colocando a docentes y estudiantes al servicio de los intereses de la revolución.

Review of Economic Contribution of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) for Rural Livelihoods and its Potential for Sustainable Forest Management in Ethiopia
Authors: Gonfa Berhanu Debela
Published: December 2023

This review paper focuses mainly on two major themes. First on the extent NTFPs contributes to the rural household economy and secondly the potential role NTFPs play in sustainable management of forests. NTFPs are defined to encompass all biological material that may be extracted from natural ecosystems, managed plantations, wood lands, etc., and be utilized within the household, be marketed, or have social, cultural or religious significance. NTFPs is an umbrella term, in Ethiopia covers wide range of products namely wild coffee, honey, gum and resin, spice and condiments, wild food, fodder, fuelwood, medicinal plants, construction materials, farm implements, handcrafts, household equipment, and among others. All NTFPs covered in the review are found to be plant origin except honey and represent an important element in the livelihood of the rural people. These NTFPs are used either for subsistence to be consumed at household level or sold to generate income or both. Based on the existing literatures NTFPs are essential components of livelihood activities for the rural people living in and around the forest. In quantitative terms, the level of input the NTFPs contribute to rural people is comparable with the other major livelihood activities like livestock and crop production. On top of this its share to the poor category is found to be major and highest than the better off and this shows the product is more important for the poor. This has an implication that the role NTFPs play is in the rural poor is an immense. The importance of NTFPs is not limited to the improvement of livelihood of the rural people. But goes beyond the economy and it has environmental implication (forest development). Through commercialization of some selected NTFPs such as wild coffee and honey it is possible to protect and sustainably manage the forests. Commercializing these products increases the incomes the rural people generate from the forest without causing adverse effect and in turn contribute to Forest management. The incomes from the sale of coffee and honey serve as an incentive for the rural people and initiate them to actively participate and undertake proper management of the forest.
A Red Seaweed from Eastern Sicily: Chondracanthus Tedeei, called “Màuru”
Authors: De Angelis A
Published: December 2023

Much of the research conducted in recent decades has involved the identification of alternative foods capable of filling the growing demand for proteins and reducing the phenomenon of greenhouse gases, also thanks to their content of antimethanigenic substances. For this reason, many researchers have focused their attention on algae in general and red algae in particular. This note reports the results of the analyzes carried out on the red macroalga Chondracanthus tedeei, widespread in a restricted area of eastern Sicily, where it is known by the dialectal name of “Màuru”, to highlight its main bromatological characteristics. The results obtained show a good carbohydrate and protein content and a high ash content (39.46, 38.3 and 20.68%, respectively) on dry matter (DM) basin. The protein is of good value for having a percentage content of essential amino acids, similar to that of egg; the ashes have an optimal sodium and potassium content (~ 1: 1) and a high iodine content. Although the results obtained are comparable to those found in other red algae, of the same species and of other species, further investigations would be desirable, both to highlight any seasonal and / or environmental variability, and to determine the content in other interesting bioactive substances, such as, for example, fatty acids, antimethanigenic substances, heavy metals.

In order to limit losses in mushroom cultivation, various methods and measures are used to prevent the development of pathogens. However, frequently occurs the effective disinfection does not result directly a positive response in the form of increased yielding or at least reduction of the problems of infections with green mould or bubble diseases. The studies presented in this paper show that even with a relatively high level of inoculation of phase II compost containing Trichoderma aggressivum (105/cm3), significantly exceeding the potential intensity of natural infections, Agaricus bisporus remained dominant in the environment. On the other hand, an excessive disinfection disturbed this balance in favor of the more disinfectant-resistant pathogen. High efficacy of the innovative gas ClO2 disinfection, at the applied balance concentration 1000 ppm (m/m) was determined on the surfaces of the cultivation hall. However, the study demonstrates that effective disinfection of compost may give the effects of weakening of mushroom spawn mycelium and domination of its environment by the competing pathogens.
Influence of Fibers on High Performance Concretes: Fibers Fabricated in Cameroon
Authors: Charles Bwemba
Published: December 2023

In this article, steel fibers (sf) and Alcohol polyvinyl fibers (apvf) are used as addition with the aim to obtain high performances concrete (hpc). Some mechanical properties of high performances concrete containing these materials have been studied through bending and compressive tests on prismatic and cylindrical test tubes. The results showed that the addition of fibers in a formulation of high performances concrete gives results that varies from one solicitation to another and from a type of fiber to another: in the case of the simple compressive strength test, strengths are rather reduced, despite the fact that pieces of test- tube remain sewn after rupture. This is due to the phenomena of multidirectional cracking that appear at the time of the solicitation. The compressive strength decreases more when apvf is used; ii) concerning the bending test, steel fibers improve considerably the strength and the ductility of concretes thanks to their nature and their geometry. This improvement is favored by the compactness of the matrix; iii) there is no interest using apvf to improve the ductility or the strength of the hpc in bending. They rather decrease the resistance to the cracking and the rigidity of the material.
Global Buckling Experiments of Cold-rolled Aluminium Alloy Downturn Lip Channel Beams
Authors: Pham Ngoc Hieu
Published: December 2023

The paper is aimed to describe an experimental program of cold-rolled aluminium alloy downturn lip channel beams undergoing global buckling. Cold-rolled aluminium sections can be seen as new products of BlueScope Permalite, and the downturn lip channel section is in the form of the channel section with a modification of the bottom lip direction. A series of four tests with two lengths were carried out at The University of Sydney. The experiments were driven by a dual-actuator loading system to ensure the applied load was in the upward direction through the shear centre of the investigated section specimens while testing. Global buckling failures were seen in all specimen tests. The obtained test results will be the base for the calibration of a finite element model and the proposal of new design guidelines for these section beams subjected to global buckling modes in further studies.

Currently, the norm is usually understood as a certain average, the most common indicator in society. The concept of norm changed and as a result, different standards of health (ancient, adaptive, anthropocentric) were distinguished in different time pe-riods. In the modern postmodern world, there is an intensive reassessment of norms, individual and social consciousness is changing, the concepts of good and evil, norms and pathology are blurring, where the old norm, which contradicts the new views on success, can be canceled and introduced into the status of pathology.The changes also affected medical practice. So, the reforms of F. Pinel (1793) imbues insanity with a certain medical meaning,the condition or behavior begins to be defined as a medical problem requiring medical intervention. Psychiatry gains professionalpower over the patient, and the psychiatrist gains control over the soul and body of the patient. A psychiatrist, remaining the ultimate truth, de-termines a person's place in the structure of society through diagnosis and stigmatization mechanisms. In addition, new risksare being created in the company. Biomedical technologies regulating the processes of birth, prolongation of human life and death are being de-veloped.
Interdisciplinary connections in the teaching of bioethics
Authors:   Volgograd State Medical University, Sedova Natalia N.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. As you know, the moral side is in all our relationships, actions and thoughts. The procedure for evaluating on a scale of"good – bad" immediately translates judgments about reality into an ethical plane. This is most clearly seen when working with livingobjects, which makes bioethics a metascience. This, in turn, requires special methods, skills and ways of explication of value bases.And since the axiological portrait of reality is subjective and has a high degree of variability, the permanently ongoing dispute about thestructure and content of education in the field of bioethics is unlikely to have an unambiguous solution. Therefore, the bioethical para-digm of intentionality is so important in educational practices in this field of knowledge.
