Authors: Solano Andrés F. , Collazos Cesar A. Collazos , Arciniegas José L.
Published: February 2025

Usability evaluation of an interactive software system is one of the most important stages inside the user- centered design. Usability evaluation methods (UEM) are quite diverse, there are variables like costs, time availability, human resources, etc., that are important to take into account. A large number of UEM can be used to evaluate interactive digital television (iTV) applications, but questions arise when deciding which method or combination of methods give more relevant information. In that sense, this paper discusses a methodological proposal to guide the usability evaluation of iTV applications, which consists of UEM that integrates collaborative processes in order to improve the stringency and consistency in the analysis of results.

Authors: Ramírez Machado Elmer José
Published: February 2025

This article socializes the concept of research which is being developed in the specialization program in Didactics for sciences with emphasis in Mathematics, offered by Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana. Its aim is systematizing the actionresearch experience with a group of teachers, looking forward the transformation of their pedagogical practice, based on a capacitating model which has its support on the research process. The hypothesis established for the project, is that one of “the teacher as a researcher”. In this perspective, this paper is supported on thetheories proposed by Stenhouse, about this problematic situation. 
The project also considers some postulates proposed around education in mathematics, the teacher as a researcher, as well as three  orientations about classroom research: first of all qualitative ethnographic research about school situations, as experiences analyzed from the outside of the teaching practice; a second orientation about curriculum, and the third focused on educational actionresearch, centered on the praxis of those teachers who are still working.

Datos del Núcleo 14 - Sedimentos del pantano La Bramadora, Sopetrán, Antioquia, Colombia
Authors: Flórez Molina Maria Teresa , Parra Sánchez Luis Norberto
Published: February 2025

El Pantano La Bramadora en Sopetrán, Antioquia, Colombia, está sometido a un régimen de torrencialidad. Este ha permitido la acumulación de, por lo menos, 950 cm de sedimentos arcillosos mediados por paleosuelos en el techo, centro y base, así como dos discordancias. Por el interés que reviste el Núcleo 14, se planteó la necesidad de revisar si guardaba evidencias de eventos de precipitación acaecidos en la cuenca, al menos, durante el último milenio. A través de la litoestratigrafía, tefroestratigrafía, pedoestratigrafía y quimioestratigrafía se hallaron sensores paleoclimáticos que no solo permitieron resolver el objetivo, sino que precisaron la presencia de eventos volcánicos globales y locales, de precipitación y sequía, y dieron respuestas para entender la formación del depósito sedimentario, definir ambientes y determinar la tasa de sedimentación media (1 cm/año). Así, se logró mayor claridad sobre las condiciones paleoclimáticas de la cuenca durante los últimos 1000 años A. D. Los resultados más relevantes se expresan en tablas, mapas, figuras y documentos en formatos Excel/.kml/.jpg/.doc, y corresponden a datos abiertos útiles para la comunidad científica.
Sedimentary evidences of historical climate and sea level changes in the coast from Cadiz Bay (SW Spain), and their interaction with regional very high-energy oceanic events
Authors: Gutiérrez-Mas José Manuel , Alvarez-Alonso Ricardo , Sánchez-Bellón Ángel
Published: February 2025

The study attempts to establish the depositional history of recent coastal bioclastic sediments from the Cadiz Bay (SW Spain). These deposits are carbonated shelly intercalations interbedded in coastal sands. They are lying to different heights above the present-day sea level. Their 14C ages represent a time interval from 200 years (yr) BC to 850 yr AD, which includes the Roman Warm Period and the start of the Medieval Warm Period.  Sedimentary, mineralogical, chemical, and isotopic (δ18O) analyses were used to determine responses of the coastal depositional environments to the environmental changes and to the action of high-energy oceanic events. Sedimentologic analysis of these shelly beds shows depositional features typical of high-energy directional flows caused by great waves from storms or tsunamis, which would also explain the origin and the topographic position of these shelly accumulations. The δ18O values obtained suggest that in this North Atlantic area, the seawater temperature fluctuations were relatively small, with an amplitude similar to the present-day seasonal temperature fluctuations of the Mediterranean Sea. This fact may be attributable both to a middle-low latitude of the study zone and mix of water masses from the Atlantic and Mediterranean currents, which could moderate the effects caused by the climate changes observable in Atlantic areas of higher latitude.

Kant y el sentido de la historia.
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Escobar Velázquez María Alejandra
Published: February 2025

l propósito de este artículo es analizar la filosofía de la historia kantiana desde el ensayo Idea de una historia universal en clave cosmopolitaporque fue su primera reflexión sobre la historia y permite una comprensión sistemática de la necesidad de establecer para la historia principios generales. Estos principios parten del supuesto de un sentido, a saber, el plan de la naturaleza que dirige a la humanidad a una progresiva razón y quizá moralidad. Aunque esta perspectiva se considera estática u oficial porque prescinde de escritos posteriores o la posibilidad de una evolución en el pensamiento kantiano, señalo que este ensayo condensa una preocupación concreta de Kant: continuar en la tradición ilustrada de estudiar la historia para justificar el progreso, pensar la historia como un Kepler lo haría a la espera de un Newton y ser una respuesta a Herder.
El misterio de la Covid-19. El affaireAgamben y la pandemia.
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Inclán Solís Israel Daniel
Published: February 2025

La pandemia de covid-19 produjo un umbral en el que la incertidumbre del mundo aumentó. De manera temprana varias voces intentaron construir explicaciones. Giorgio Agamben fue una de las personas que intervino para presentar una lectura del proceso, destacando su dimensión política, más allá del monopolio de la verdad científica (médica, epidemiológica y virológica). Sus intervenciones fueron objeto de diversas invectivas, al punto de descalificar toda su producción filosófica. Recurriendo a su amplia producción y su método de análisis, este texto reconstruye sus observaciones sobre la pandemia, más allá de una lectura inmediatista, para demostrarque su interpretación es acertada. Lo que para muchos parecían opiniones aceleradas, se demuestra que son juicios derivados de una crítica sistemática a los paradigmas de gobierno modernos.
Memoria y narración: la construcción del discurso.
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Gutiérrez Aviña Lorena del Carmen
Published: February 2025

El presente análisis literario se enfoca en exponer la relación entre la memoria y la obra de Manuel Vilas titulada Ordesa: se trata de comprender cómo influye el propio autor en los recuerdos que él mismo narra y en la forma en la que éstos son expuestos. Las bases del presente análisis se encuentran en investigaciones sobre la literatura de la memoria y la narrativa mnemónica, responsable del formato del presente objeto de estudio y de la creación caótica de entes, escenarios y situaciones. Se evidencia el papel del lenguaje en la visibilidad del individuo que escribe un relato, el cual se verá estructurado por la evocación del recuerdo y a la interpretación que el autor realice desde el presente. De igual manera, se expone la forma que toma el discurso cuando el lenguaje está construido gracias al proceso de rememoración, no a la ficcionalidad.
Proyecto creador y campo cultural: algunos ejemplos en la novela de la Revolución Mexicana.
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa, Torres Miguel Ricardo
Published: February 2025

Este trabajo propone analizar a la sociedad como una unidad integradora de fenómenos culturales, políticos e ideológicos, en donde existen relaciones de interactividad entre unos y otros elementos, pues en dicho pensamiento se da la premisa de que hay condicionesy limitantesque se imponen hacia cada una de las partes, dando así la apariencia de una compleja red de organismos quetrabajan en una simultaneidad jerárquica. A saber, existen restricciones que van a mediar las grandes producciones humanas, esto es, en específico, las manifestaciones culturales y artísticas, lo que dará por resultado la aparición de sujetos encargados de promover tales manifestaciones por medio de una atracción, digámosle magnética hacia la condicionante, llamémosle “aparato regidor”. En este tenor, la crítica en torno de la Revolución mexicana se ha cuestionado, principalmente dos cuestiones básicas: qué significa la palabra Revolución como figura hiperbolizada por el aparato de Estado, y qué tipo de pensamiento portaban los caudillos revolucionarios. La segunda pregunta, podría decirse, el tiempo ya la ha juzgado en su justa dimensión; la segunda interrogante (la cual es la que nos atañe aquí) es ver cómo se originó y por qué se decidió llamarle novela de la Revolución.

El objetivo de este trabajo es echar un vistazo a la comprensión de Sócrates por parte de Kierkegaard. Exponer en qué está de acuerdo y en qué disiente el filósofo danés con Hegel (incluyendo una “digresión” sobre la concepción de la “dialéctica” que tienen Hegel y Platón). Veremos el análisis de Kierkegaard del Daimonde Sócrates, el juicio y la condena de Sócrates, la relación de Sócrates con los sofistas y con las escuelas filosóficas posteriores. Veremos la influencia que jugó Hans Lasen Martensen en Kierkegaard a través de sus conferencias en la Universidad de Copenhague, la respuesta de Kierkegaard al artículo de Martensen sobre Fausto de Goethe y en las dos obras satíricas de Kierkegaard que estaban dirigidas a Martensen y sus alumnos: El conflicto entre las viejas y las nuevas bodegas de jabóny Johannes Climacus o De Omnibus dubitandum est. Finalmente, presentamos a Andreas Friederich Beck, quien escribió la primera reseña del libro Sobre el concepto de ironía, la cual brinda una breve instantánea de la evaluación contemporánea de la obra y arroja una idea de la visión de Kierkegaard, quien reacciona negativamente a los comentarios de Beck.
Exoterikoí Lógoi en Aristóteles. Apuntamientos dialécticos en los fragmenta.
Authors:   Universidad Panamericana, amírez Daza y García Rómulo
Published: February 2025

El presente estudio muestra en primer plano la presencia dialéctica de la obra del joven Aristóteles preservada en los Fragmenta. Considerando transversalmente todos los pasajes bajo el punto de vista de la argumentación, esta lectura total de los textos Exotéricosrepresenta una muestra significativa de su dimensión dialéctica en la filosofía de Aristóteles desde una etapa temprana.Con ello se constata una cierta ilación entre los diálogos unidos entre sí por el común denominador de la dialéctica, pese a lo variopinto de sus temáticas y al estado fragmentario de los mismos, al punto de darnos una idea bastante precisa de su armazón original para siempre perdido. La línea hermenéutica que esta investigación presenta es una aplicación de la teoría de la argumentación dentro del aristotelismo actual, y hace entender el primer peldaño metodológico para los Topica.

Authors: McClure Glennis
Published: February 2025

As the cost of machinery and equipment have continued to rise over the last several years, many individuals have offered custom services for field operations to spread their investment costs over more acres. Conversely, some producers are increasingly utilizing custom services to manage their capital investments. For some, this approach is driven by the inability to justify the cost of equipment due to limited acreage, while others may lack the time for certain operations because of off-farm jobs.

Published: February 2025

Nos últimos anos, além dos óbices já característicos advindos da Diabetes Mellitus, um novo problema tem sido associado a essa doença, a disfunção sexual. Em decorrência disso, esse estudo teve como objetivo analisar a prevalência e os efeitos da disfunção sexual em adultos diagnosticados com Diabetes Mellitus. Para isso, foi realizada uma busca nas bases de dados PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS e EMBASE. A partir da definição dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram selecionados, dos 415 artigos encontrados, 32 resultados para composição do acervo desta revisão, os quais retratam a respeito da fisiopatologia, a prevalência e os impactos dessa doença na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. A Diabetes Mellitus é responsável pelo distúrbio sexual devido às complicações microvasculares que ela acarreta. Além disso, o tratamento a esse problema de saúde é dificultado pelo estigma a buscar tratamento para distúrbios sexuais, o que provoca o negligenciamento da busca por ajuda. Dessa forma, fica evidente que abordagens multidisciplinares e intersetoriais devem ser realizadas, como a desestigmatização desse assunto no meio social e medidas preventivas de cuidados aos pacientes diabéticos, bem como o rastreamento precoce desses pacientes com os distúrbios sexuais.

Cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the stroke exercise preference inventory
Authors: Arıkan Halime , Sertel Meral
Published: February 2025

Introduction

While studies on version adaptation, validity, and reliability are common, no tools exist in Turkish literature to assess exercise preferences in stroke patients. This research aimed to translate the Stroke Exercise Preference Inventory (SEPI) into Turkish and evaluate its validity and reliability in stroke patients.

Methods

Ninety stroke patients completed the SEPI, Exercise Benefits/ Barriers Scale (EBBS), Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-2), Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SSQoLS), and Frenchay Activities Index (FAI). The SEPI was translated into Turkish using a standard forward-backward translation process. Psychometric properties such as structural and construct validity, test–retest reliability, and internal consistency were assessed.

Results

Reliability analysis demonstrated high internal consistency for SEPI-13, with Cronbach’s α values of 0.931. Validity testing revealed a 3-factor structure for SEPI-13, explaining 69.029% of total variance. CFA confirmed the model with acceptable fit indices. Construct validity showed good correlations with EBBS (r = −0.771; p < 0.001) and BREQ-2 (r = from −0.541 to 0.732; p < 0.001) for convergent validity, while divergent validity was supported by weak correlations with SSQoLS (r = 0.165; p = 0.120) and FAI (r = 0.137; p = 0.197). No floor or ceiling effects were observed for SEPI-13.

Discussion

The Turkish SEPI is a reliable and valid tool for assessing exercise preferences in stroke patients, aiding their rehabilitation.
Extreme temperatures and household energy consumption in China: insights from adaptive behavior
Authors: Liu Qiaohui , Yao Tingting , Tong Haozhi , Peng Jiachao
Published: February 2025

The increasing frequency of extreme temperatures poses significant threats to human habitats. Utilizing data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) and the Chinese Residential Energy Consumption Survey (CRECS), this study examines the effects of extreme temperatures on household energy consumption in China from an adaptive behavior perspective. The results show that each additional day of extreme high temperatures increases household energy consumption by 3.437 yuan, while each additional day of extreme low temperatures raises it by 8.071 yuan. Moreover, extreme temperatures have notably stronger impact on the energy consumption of rural, low-income, and southern households, especially with regard to extreme cold. Extreme temperatures increase energy consumption primarily by altering residents’ adaptive behaviors: they compel households to reduce spending on food and medical care, shorten work hours, and increase the use of home thermostats devices. Specifically, for each day of extreme cold, household expenditures on food and medical care decrease by 23.217 and 21.212 yuan, respectively, residents’ work hours are reduced by 0.156 h, and households add 0.079 heating devices. This conclusion not only helps to scientifically evaluate the economic cost of extreme climate, but also provides important decision-making basis for households to enhances their resilience to energy-related risks and governments to optimize energy policies.
Dryland-to-Paddy Conversions Lead to Short-Term Decreases in Soil Organic Carbon and Carbon Pool Management Index in Karst Soil of Guizhou Province, China
Authors: Cai Yu , Xiao Jiujun , Liao Xiaofeng , Dong Yanyan , Pan Bojuan , Zhang Lanyue , Xie Gang , Chen Yang , Xie Yuangui
Published: February 2025

To respond to China’s policies of “balancing and supplementing high-quality farmland, converting dryland to paddy fields” and of improving the quality of drylands, large-scale dryland conversion to paddy fields has been recently implemented to improve farmland quality and increase grain production capacity in China. However, the effects of the conversions on the soil carbon (C) pool remain unclear. Therefore, in a karst area of Guizhou Province, China, we selected farmland soils that had undergone dryland-to-paddy conversion and planted with rice for one year, ensuring that the historical management practices, soil parent material, and spatial proximity were consistent. We compared changes in and interactions between soil physicochemical properties, organic C components, and the C pool management index (CPMI) in pre-conversion drylands, post-conversion paddy fields, and reference unused lands. We found that dryland-to-paddy conversion suppressed most soil physicochemical properties in the short term. After dryland conversion to paddy fields, total C, total organic C, dissolved organic C, easily oxidizable organic C, inert organic C, microbial biomass C, and soil CPMI significantly decreased temporarily. With conversion, the proportion of easily oxidizable organic C decreased, whereas those of dissolved organic C, microbial biomass C, and inert organic C increased. Correlation and redundancy analyses indicated that bulk density was negatively correlated with organic C, its components, and the CPMI, whereas soil nitrogen (N), alkaline N, available phosphorus (P), and available potassium were significantly positively correlated with organic C. The carbon pool activity and CPMI were primarily influenced by easily oxidizable organic C, microbial biomass C, alkaline N, and available P. According to a partial least squares structural equation model, soil physicochemical properties and organic C and its components were the main drivers of C pool changes. Organic C and its components directly influenced C pool changes, whereas soil physicochemical properties mostly indirectly influenced C pool changes. Therefore, although dryland-to-paddy conversion can maintain a balance of arable land and ensure food security, such conversions may lead to short-term declines in organic C stability and C pool management index, indicating mitigation strategies, such as tailored N, P, and K fertilization regimes, should be developed to increase farmland C sequestration capacity.

Animal manure is a desirable fertilizer because of its rich nitrogen, but it also contains a large and diverse reservoir of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes (ARGs). To reduce this AMR reservoir, five treatments (passive aeration, forced aeration, static or anaerobic incubations, autoclaving) were assessed for their impact on the poultry litter resistome. Bacterial DNA was extracted from the litter and the qPCR-estimated copy number of 16S rrs, class1 integrons (intI1) and associated resistance genes (aadA, sul1). Then, 16S amplicon metagenomic sequencing was used to determine community diversity and composition. Depending on incubation conditions, class 1 integrons and their associated ARGs were reduced by 0.5 to 1.0 Log10/g poultry litter. Only autoclaving reduced integrons and associated AMR genes by three Log10. Changes in AMR abundance reflected fluctuations in litter bacteriome composition at the family, genus, and sequence variant level. There was a negative correlation between class 1 integron and AMR genes, with genera belonging to Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria phyla. While these poultry litter treatments failed to reduce AMR abundance, aerobic and anaerobic treatments reduced taxons that contained pathogenic species. The approach to remediating resistance in poultry litter may be more effective if is focused on reducing bacterial pathogens.

Peanut allergy presents a significant and growing public health concern, marked by its increasing prevalence and potential for severe allergic reactions. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as skin prick testing and serum IgE assays, serve as cornerstone approaches but often fall short in specificity, sensitivity, and risk stratification. This has driven the development of innovative diagnostic technologies, including component-resolved diagnostics, basophil activation tests, bead-based epitope assays, molecular diagnostics, and artificial intelligence applications. These advancements promise greater diagnostic precision, improved patient stratification, and tailored management strategies. However, challenges such as high costs, accessibility issues, and the need for standardized protocols hinder their widespread clinical adoption. This review explores the evolution of peanut allergy diagnostics, comparing traditional and emerging methodologies, and discusses their clinical implications, limitations, and future directions. The integration of advanced technologies with established approaches holds the potential to revolutionize peanut allergy diagnosis and management, ultimately enhancing patient care and outcomes.

Published: February 2025

This study utilizes the danmaku on the Bilibili platform as the research subject to examine how their characteristics vary according to the nature or focus of English teaching videos. By employing social network analysis, the study reveals distinctive features in danmaku. For videos categorized under linguistic knowledge (phonetics, vocabulary, and grammar), the danmaku comments predominantly center around topics such as phonetics, vocabulary, and grammar. Conversely, in videos categorized under language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), the danmaku comments primarily reflect a vocabulary review for three of the four skills, with only the listening skill showing slight deviations. This underscores the centrality of vocabulary in skill-oriented videos. The findings highlight the unique role of danmaku in distinguishing between knowledge and skills within the context of English teaching videos.

Published: February 2025

Deepfake technology utilizes deep learning (DL)-based face manipulation techniques to seamlessly replace faces in videos, creating highly realistic but artificially generated content. Although this technology has beneficial applications in media and entertainment, misuse of its capabilities may lead to serious risks, including identity theft, cyberbullying, and false information. The integration of DL with visual cognition has resulted in important technological improvements, particularly in addressing privacy risks caused by artificially generated “deepfake” images on digital media platforms. In this study, we propose an efficient and lightweight method for detecting deepfake images and videos, making it suitable for devices with limited computational resources. In order to reduce the computational burden usually associated with DL models, our method integrates machine learning classifiers in combination with keyframing approaches and texture analysis. Moreover, the features extracted with a histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), local binary pattern (LBP), and KAZE bands were integrated to evaluate using random forest, extreme gradient boosting, extra trees, and support vector classifier algorithms. Our findings show a feature-level fusion of HOG, LBP, and KAZE features improves accuracy to 92% and 96% on FaceForensics++ and Celeb-DF(v2), respectively.
TR-GPT-CF: A Topic Refinement Method Using GPT and Coherence Filtering
Authors: Widiastuti Ika , Yong Hwan-Seung
Published: February 2025

Traditional topic models are effective at uncovering patterns within large text corpora but often struggle with capturing the contextual nuances necessary for meaningful interpretation. As a result, these models may produce incoherent topics, making it challenging to achieve consistency and clarity in topic interpretation—limitations that hinder their utility for real-world applications requiring reliable insights. To overcome these challenges, we introduce a novel post-extracted topic refinement approach that uses Z-score centroid-based misaligned word detection and hybrid semantic–contextual word replacement with WordNet and GPT to replace misaligned words within topics. Evaluations across multiple datasets reveal that our approach significantly enhances topic coherence, providing a robust solution for more interpretable and semantically coherent topics.
CARAG: A Context-Aware Retrieval Framework for Fact Verification, Integrating Local and Global Perspectives of Explainable AI
Authors: Vallayil Manju , Nand Parma , Yan Wei Qi , Allende-Cid Héctor , Vamathevan Thamilini
Published: February 2025

This study introduces an explainable framework for Automated Fact Verification (AFV) systems, integrating a novel Context-Aware Retrieval and Explanation Generation (CARAG) methodology. CARAG enhances evidence retrieval by leveraging thematic embeddings derived from a Subset of Interest (SOI, a focused subset of the fact-verification dataset) to integrate local and global perspectives. The retrieval process combines these thematic embeddings with claim-specific vectors to refine evidence selection. Retrieved evidence is integrated into an explanation-generation pipeline employing a Large Language Model (LLM) in a zero-shot paradigm, ensuring alignment with topic-based thematic contexts. The SOI and its derived thematic embeddings, supported by a visualized SOI graph, provide transparency into the retrieval process and promote explainability in AI by outlining evidence-selection rationale. CARAG is evaluated using FactVer, a novel explanation-focused dataset curated to enhance AFV transparency. Comparative analysis with standard Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) demonstrates CARAG’s effectiveness in generating contextually aligned explanations, underscoring its potential to advance explainable AFV frameworks.
Efficient and Effective Unsupervised Entity Alignment in Large Knowledge Graphs

Published: February 2025

Entity Alignment (EA) in Knowledge Graphs (KGs) is a crucial task for the integration of multiple KGs, facilitating the amalgamation of multi-source knowledge and enhancing support for downstream applications. In recent years, unsupervised EA methods have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in leveraging graph structures or utilizing auxiliary information. However, the increasing complexity of many modeling methods limits their applicability to large KGs in real-world scenarios. Given that most EA encoders primarily focus on modeling one-hop neighborhoods within the KG’s graph structure while neglecting similarities among multi-hop neighborhoods, we propose an efficient and effective unsupervised EA method, MPGT-Align, based on a multi-hop pruning graph transformer. The core innovation of MPGT-Align lies in mining multi-hop neighborhood features of entities through two components: Pruning-hop2Token and Attention-based Transformer encoder. The former aggregates only those multi-hop neighborhoods that contribute to alignment targets, inspired by search pruning algorithms. The latter empowers MPGT-Align to adaptively extract more effective alignment information from both entity itself and its multi-hop neighbors. Furthermore, Pruning-hop2Token serves as a non-parametric method that not only reduces model parameters, but also allows MPGT-Align to be trained with small batch sizes, thereby enabling efficient handling of large KGs. Extensive experiments conducted across various benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms most existing supervised and unsupervised EA techniques.
