The Bena Irrigation Area has 68 tertiary blocks where the total area of rice fields is 3515 ha with a length of 23 km. However, the Bena Irrigation Area experiences water deficits annually, particularly during the dry season. The phenomenon mentioned causes inefficiency from the functional point of view of The Bena Dam, which only irrigates 2470 Hectares of rice fields effectively. The phenomenon mentioned causes inefficiency from the functional point of view of The Bena Dam, which only irrigates 3515 Hectares of rice fields effectively. This thesis is discussing the simulation of water supply irrigation based on the Water Use Index (IPA) method. The purpose of the simulation is to overcome the water shortage at the Bena Irrigation Area by obtaining the ideal and/or most efficient volume of water by using the Water Use Index (IPA). Referring to the simulation presented with the IPA value at 0,5 hypothetically (good criteria), it revealed that the greatest volume is at 239,067 lt/sec at the first planting season, 862,948 lt/sec in the second planting season, and 39,571 lt/sec simultaneously.Â Daerah Irigasi Bena mempunyai petak tersier sebanyak 68 petak dimana luas total baku sawah 3515 ha dengan panjang 23 km. Namun, Daerah Irigasi Bena mengalami peningkatan kekurangan dan kekeringan air di setiap tahunnya terutama pada saat musim kemarau. Hal ini menyebakan Bendung Bena yang harusnya mengairi sawah seluas 3515 Ha hanya mampu mengairi sawah fungsional seluas 2470 Ha. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya simulasi pemberian air irigasi untuk mengatasi kekurangan air yang terjadi di Daerah Irigasi Bena. Salah satu cara untuk mensimulasi penyediaan air irigasi menggunakan metode indeks penggunaan air (IPA). Tujuan dari simulasi pemberian air dengan nilai indeks penggunaan air (IPA) agar memperoleh hasil dari menghemat air irigasi yang paling hemat sehingga dapat mengatasi kekurangan air yang terjadi. Berdasarkan hasil simulasi nilai IPA diperoleh hasil dengan coba-coba nilai IPA = 0,5Â  (kriteria baik) mempunyai nilai paling besar adalah 862,948 lt/detik (musim tanam II) , 239,067 (musim tanam I), dan 39,571 lt/dtk (musim tanam III).

Authors: Castro Pérez Judith Jazmin , Medina Reyes José Eduardo
Published: September 2021

The objective of this research is to compare the returns of the portfolios developed by the proposed methodology called Fuzzy Portfolio Selection with Sugeno Type Fuzzy Neural Network against Markowitz’s portfolio theory; to identify the best investment model. For this purpose, we used ten stock time series of the Mexican market in daily format from January 2, 2015, to May 15, 2020, to get the portfolios every week from May 15 to June 12, 2020. The principal result is that our methodology recognized the behavior of each share, generates better risk management, and higher returns in comparison with the traditional techniques. The recommendation is to evaluate other stocks and markets to verify the efficiency of our model, the limitation is that a fundamental analysis must precede the tool, and the originality is the new technique proposed. The main conclusion is that the portfolio selection model based on fuzzy neural networks generated two models that do not have negative returns in any week, the cumulative return obtained was up to 15.68%.

Authors: Rodríguez-Reyes Luis Raúl , Samaniego Ángel , Pasillas Mireya
Published: September 2021

Objective: This research studies individual investment strategies that can be employed by Mexican workers to choose a retirement savings company, to provide evidence that can guide workers and governments in their pursuit for a higher replacement rate. Methods: To accomplish such task, more than 200,000 individual decisions in rolling-windows are simulated, based on more than twenty-years of market prices on retirement funds in Mexico (1997-2018). Outcome: Results indicate that contrarian-based strategies dominate momentum-based strategies in three out of four categories of funds. Recommendations: Moreover, in two out of four categories of funds the highest return is reached by the system’s average, calling for the introduction of an ETF-type of product to the Mexican financial market. Originality: The novelty of this research resides in the perspective of the analysis, positioning the Mexican worker in the role of an investor making a financial choice. Conclusions: The maximum average return is the best way to select a retirement fund manager when there is a guaranteed minimum pension, which acts as a risk-hedge, as it is in the Mexican case.

Authors: de Guevara Cortés Rogelio Ladrón , Torra Porras Salvador , Monte Moreno Enric
Published: September 2021

The objective of this paper is to compare four dimension reduction techniques used for extracting the underlying systematic risk factors driving returns on equities of the Mexican Market. The methodology used compares the results of estimation produced by Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Factor Analysis (FA), Independent Component Analysis (ICA), and Neural Networks Principal Component Analysis (NNPCA) under three different perspectives. The results showed that in general: PCA, FA, and ICA produced similar systematic risk factors and betas; NNPCA and ICA produced the greatest number of fully accepted models in the econometric contrast; and, the interpretation of systematic risk factors across the four techniques was not constant. Additional research testing alternative extraction techniques, econometric contrast, and interpretation methodologies are recommended, considering the limitations derived from the scope of this work. The originality and main contribution of this paper lie in the comparison of these four techniques in both the financial and Mexican contexts. The main conclusion is that depending on the purpose of the analysis, one technique will be more suitable than another.

Authors: Bouamra Benjamin , Chakroun Karim , Medeiros De Bustos Elisabeth , Dobson Jennifer , Rouge Jeanne-Antide , Moulin Thierry
Published: September 2021

Background

Health care professionals worldwide are increasingly using telemedicine in their daily clinical practice. However, there is still a lack of dedicated education and training even though it is needed to improve the quality of the diverse range of telemedicine activities. Simulation-based training may be a useful tool in telemedicine education and training delivery.

Objective

This study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of simulation-based telemedicine training.

Methods

We assessed five telemedicine training sessions conducted in a simulation laboratory. The training was focused on video teleconsultations between a patient and a health care professional. The assessment included the participants’ satisfaction and attitudes toward the training.

Results

We included 29 participants in total. Participant satisfaction was high (mean score 4.9 of 5), and those that took part stated the high applicability of the simulation-based training to their telemedicine practices (mean score 4.6 of 5). They also stated that they intended to use telemedicine in the future (mean score 4.5 of 5).

Conclusions

Simulation-based training of telemedicine dedicated to video teleconsultation was feasible and showed high satisfaction from participants. However, it remains difficult to scale for a high number of health care professionals.

Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND

Several app-based studies share similar characteristics of a light touch approach that recruit, enroll, and onboard via a smartphone app and attempt to minimize burden through low-friction active study tasks while emphasizing the collection of passive data with minimal human contact. However, engagement is a common challenge across these studies, reporting low retention and adherence.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to describe an alternative to a light touch digital health study that involved a participant-centric design including high friction app-based assessments, semicontinuous passive data from wearable sensors, and a digital engagement strategy centered on providing knowledge and support to participants.

METHODS

The Stress and Recovery in Frontline COVID-19 Health Care Workers Study included US frontline health care workers followed between May and November 2020. The study comprised 3 main components: (1) active and passive assessments of stress and symptoms from a smartphone app, (2) objective measured assessments of acute stress from wearable sensors, and (3) a participant codriven engagement strategy that centered on providing knowledge and support to participants. The daily participant time commitment was an average of 10 to 15 minutes. Retention and adherence are described both quantitatively and qualitatively.

RESULTS

A total of 365 participants enrolled and started the study, and 81.0% (n=297) of them completed the study for a total study duration of 4 months. Average wearable sensor use was 90.6% days of total study duration. App-based daily, weekly, and every other week surveys were completed on average 69.18%, 68.37%, and 72.86% of the time, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

This study found evidence for the feasibility and acceptability of a participant-centric digital health study approach that involved building trust with participants and providing support through regular phone check-ins. In addition to high retention and adherence, the collection of large volumes of objective measured data alongside contextual self-reported subjective data was able to be collected, which is often missing from light touch digital health studies.

Las Meditaciones suramericanas del Conde de Keyserling. Su impronta en la filosofía de lo mexicano
Authors: Cuéllar Moreno José Manuel
Published: September 2021

el objetivo es revisar las principales tesis del Conde de Keyserling en las Meditaciones suramericanas (1933) y demostrar su influencia en dos pensadores mexicanos: Samuel Ramos y Emilio Uranga. Tiene la doble originalidad de reivindicar a Keyserling como pieza clave para comprenderel proceso de “germanización” de la filosofía mexicana durante los años veinte y treinta del siglo pasado, y de rastrear por primera vez la influencia de nociones keyserlinguianas como “hombre telúrico”, “mundo abisal” y “gana” en los análisis sobre la finura y la desgana del mexicano.Se concluye que esta influencia no fue accesoria, sino decisiva, y que no se limitó a México. Por décadas, Keyserling alimentó el imaginario de filósofos y novelistas de toda Latinoamérica. El artículo adopta el presupuesto metodológico del historicismo: “una idea no viene a ser sino la forma de reacción de un determinado hombre frente a sus circunstancias”.Palabras clave: Keyserling; Meditaciones suramericanas; Filosofía de lo mexicano; Samuel Ramos; Emilio Uranga.Abstract: The purpose of this article is to review Keyserling’s main philosophical ideas and categories in his South American Meditations (published in German in 1932), and show the major influence they had on Mexican thinkers such as Samuel Ramos and Emilio Uranga. This articlesvindicates the important role of Keyserling in the “Germanization” of Mexican Philosophy in the first half of the past century, and traces for the first time the presence of some Keyserling’s notions(“hombre telúrico”, “mundo abisal”, “gana”) in the characterization of the Mexican as delicate and unwilling. This influence was decisive and spread throughout Latin America. Historicism provides the methodological assumption that an idea (even a philosophical one) is nothing but a way a concrete human being deals with her circumstances.Key words: Keyserling; South American Meditations; Mexican Philosophy; Samuel Ramos; Emilio Uranga.

Apariencia y masculinidad en enfermería: percepción de la vestimenta de enfermeros costarricenses
Authors: López-Badilla A.
Published: September 2021

Introducción: Históricamente, el uniforme blanco caracteriza a la profesión de enfermería. Hoy existe una amplia variedad de estilos vestimentarios que están transformando la percepción sobre la profesión y el cuidado enfermero; ello coincide con una mayor participación de varones donde interviene su organización e imagen social.

Objetivo: Analizar el rol de la apariencia en la construcción de la imagen social de la enfermería desde la percepción de los varones enfermeros sobre su vestimenta profesional.

Métodos: Entrevista a profundidad a ocho enfermeros costarricenses para comprender desde un marco interpretativo fenomenológico el significado de sus experiencias y vivencias en la profesión. Se realizaron inferencias interpretativas con base en marcos teóricos de enfermería y masculinidades que permitieron organizar dichas experiencias en unidades temáticas para este análisis de la vestimenta como referente de profesión marcado por el género.

Resultados: Se identificaron cuatro temáticas: las enfermeras visten de blanco, las variaciones en la vestimenta marcan jerarquías sociales, los varones agregan elementos en su vestido y, discurso que los identifica como enfermeros, esto con el fin de elaborar una imagen masculina de la enfermería que le otorgue mayor prestigio social.

Conclusiones: Los varones aceptan el uso del uniforme blanco, de color o estampado para los miembros subordinados; sin embargo, para los puestos altos y para los varones profesionales prefieren la ropa de vestir, pues creen que refuerza su estatus o posición, legitima el poder y la autoridad. En ese sentido, consideran que otorga una apariencia que rescatará a la profesión de su bajo estatus social.

Published: September 2021

El derecho al deporte se ha previsto tradicionalmente en el marco de las Constituciones de los países latinoamericanos y también de habla portuguesa. Sin embargo, existe una mayor incidencia de estudios sobre el tema en cuestión en el contexto latinoamericano. Por esta razón, el objetivo de este artículo fue construir la dogmática del derecho al deporte a partir del análisis comparativo de las Constituciones de los 10 países de habla portuguesa. La investigación es descriptiva-interpretativa, cualitativa y cuantitativa y documental. De las 10 Constituciones, 8 de ellos regulan el tema del deporte, 7 de ellos establecen un deber del Estado o poder público y 5 de ellos prevén el derecho al deporte, que abarca no sólo el deporte competitivo, sino también la cultura física. Su núcleo esencial es la libertad y el apoyo a la libre asociación y práctica y la provisión de educación física e infraestructura deportiva.

La investigación recoge una muestra sentencias emblemáticas en las que se analiza la influencia del Convenio 169 en la toma de su decisión por parte de los magistrados en pro de los derechos indígenas. La muestra es de carácter cualitativo y no aspiramos a agotar la discusión sino más bien a abrir un debate en torno a la influencia del derecho internacional con carácter vinculante en jurisprudencia de los países del nuevo constitucionalismo latino americano y otros países signatarios de la Convención 169 de la OIT.
Hacia una coordinación efectiva entre regímenes especializados para garantizar una interpretación armoniosa en el derecho internacional público moderno
Authors: Niedrist Gerhard , Figueroa Bello Aida
Published: September 2021

El derecho internacional moderno se caracteriza, en gran parte, por sus regímenes especializados. El derecho comercial internacional, la protección internacional de derechos humanos y el derecho ambiental internacional son sólo algunos de los ejemplos más importantes de áreas aisladas en el derecho internacional, mismas que se caracterizan por su reclamo de hegemonía. El presente artículo analiza la interacción entre los diferentes regímenes, concluyendo así que el derecho internacional actual carece de las capacidades para coordinar de manera efectiva tales regímenes. En este mismo sentido, argumentaremos que resulta imprescindible una necesaria e imperiosa coordinación entre los diferentes mecanismos de solución de controversias. Una coordinación efectiva entre regímenes especializados se podrá llevar a cabo mediante reglas como el forum non conveniens del common law, y no a través de criterios de secuencia temporal, como lo establece la Convención de Viena sobre el Derecho de los Tratados.
A definição de cursos d’água internacionais e o caso Silala
Authors: Notini Moreira Bahia Amael
Published: September 2021

O presente trabalho visa compreender quais as eventuais consequências do enquadramento ou não do Silala, recurso hídrico compartilhado pelo Chile e pela Bolívia, na definição jurídica de curso d’água internacional. A principal hipótese proposta é de que a elemento do todo unitário do conceito de cursos d’água internacionais não obsta o enquadramento do Silala nessa categoria jurídica. Ainda assim, o elemento da desembocadura comum torna necessária a análise das características geográficas desse recurso hídrico transfronteiriço para que um parecer mais claro possa ser proferido, visto que se trata de um índice de razoabilidade apenas verificável perante uma situação concreta.

Discutido por jusfilósofos e internacionalistas, o fundamento de validade do Direito Internacional Público —o motivo pelo qual as normas jusinternacionais são dotadas de cogência legítima— nunca teve consenso entre especialistas. Nota-se, entretanto, tendência contemporânea a favorecer as narrativas Objetivistas, que apontariam fundamento de validade suprapositivo, para além da vontade estatal. Este artigo defende a retomada da Vereinbarung, ou seja, a Vontade Coletiva dos Estados, como única narrativa capaz de sustentar a obrigatoriedade legítima das normas de Direito Internacional, ressalvados adendos à teorização original.
Racismo implícito en grupo de estudiantes del Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo
Authors: De Peña Hernández Larissa María
Published: September 2021

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo evaluar si existen manifestaciones de racismo implícito en un grupo de estudiantes del Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo —INTEC—, analizando si hay diferencias según su sexo, religiosidad, identidad política y clase social. Es de gran importancia porque concientiza sobre este fenómeno difícil de identificar, pero muy perjudicial para el estudiantado y la sociedad. Es de enfoque cuantitativo, alcance descriptivo y diseño no experimental transeccional. Se contó con una muestra de 70 estudiantes del INTEC —seleccionada por muestreo no probabilístico— de distintos sexos, clases sociales, niveles de religiosidad e identidades políticas. El instrumento utilizado fue el Test de asociación implícita, elaborado por Greenwald y Banaji en 1998. Los resultados indican que sí se presentó racismo implícito, principalmente en distintos grados de preferencia automática hacia personas blancas sobre negras, sin diferencias significativas según el sexo, la religiosidad, la identidad política, ni la clase social de este grupo de estudiantes.

Authors: Salim Salinayanti
Published: September 2021

This study examines the roles of traditional media and social media in spreading daawah (Islamic propagation) through the media work of an American Muslim convert, Imam Suhaib Webb, who is active in doing daawah on television (traditional media) as well as on social media. This study also investigates the impact both traditional and social media have on the audience. His media work was chosen because he uses English in spreading daawah and it is essential especially to the non-Malay speaking communities in Malaysia. The data was collected through a method of observation on TV Al-Hijrah (Malaysian Islamic television) where Imam Suhaib Webb has his own segment, and on social media namely Facebook. The data were then analysed using thematic approach and the themes related to the roles of media in spreading daawah were established after the observation. The findings reveal that traditional media (television) has an important role in spreading daawah. However, it is found that social media (Facebook) has a more significant role in spreading daâ€˜wah as social media has extensive roles and gives more impact on the audience than traditional media.
