Vulneración de los derechos de los servidores públicos en los nombramientos provisionales en Ecuador
Authors: Cuadrado Paredes Rodrigo Ivan , Vallejo Lara Jorge Santiago
Published: January 2025

En Ecuador, los nombramientos provisionales, concebidos como soluciones temporales para cubrir vacantes en la administración pública, se han transformado en prácticas sistemáticas que precarizan el empleo y vulneran derechos laborales. Pese a su intención de garantizar la continuidad de los servicios, su uso prolongado genera desigualdades entre empleados provisionales y permanentes, afectando la estabilidad laboral, acceso a beneficios sociales y desarrollo profesional. La Ley Orgánica del Servicio Público (LOSEP) estipula que estos nombramientos deben ser excepcionales y limitados en el tiempo. Sin embargo, en la práctica, su implementación indiscriminada perpetúa la temporalidad. Esto contradice principios constitucionales y afecta la calidad de los servicios públicos por la constante rotación y falta de compromiso de los empleados precarizados. La comparación internacional resalta la gravedad del problema en Ecuador. Jurisprudencias de la CIDH y cortes constitucionales en países como Colombia destacan la vulneración de derechos laborales por la temporalidad prolongada, enfatizando la urgencia de reformas legales. Las propuestas incluyen regular estrictamente estos nombramientos, promover procesos de selección transparentes y crear mecanismos de supervisión efectivos. Además, se requiere la regularización de servidores afectados y programas de formación sobre derechos laborales. Abordar esta problemática es crucial para garantizar la igualdad, dignidad y estabilidad laboral, promoviendo una administración pública eficiente, transparente y alineada con estándares internacionales de derechos humanos.
Selection of Military UAV using LMAW and TOPKOR Methods in Neutrosophic Environment
Authors: Salam Amira , Mohamed Mai
Published: January 2025

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming more and more popular as a means of targeting terrorist and insurgent groups across the world due to a rise in terror threats, unconventional military threats, and geopolitical conflicts. The advantages are evident: lower risk to defense personnel's lives, targeted strikes to destroy hostile units, and cost-effectiveness. UAVs may now carry out a wider range of military and homeland security (HLS) missions, including combat strategies, surveillance, and reconnaissance, thanks to technological advancements in the field. UAVs have come a long way from being simple surveillance devices to becoming highly advanced military and peacekeeping equipment. There are various types of military drones, and it is important to have an effective method for selecting the best option for a given situation. In this study, we have introduced the LMAW and TOPKOR methods, which are integrated with the neutrosophic environment to efficiently handle uncertainty and ambiguity in choosing the best military UAV. An empirical analysis of a real-world scenario involving four initial military UAVs, evaluated by four specialists against five criteria, was conducted. The case study demonstrates the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed evaluation process. We also performed sensitivity analysis and weighted analysis of the alternatives. Additionally, we used CRITIC, ENTROPY, MEREC, RAWEC, VIKOR and ARAS techniques for comparisons.

Authors: Abdullah Walid
Published: January 2025

Ensuring the quality of fruits is essential for consumer satisfaction and food industry standards. Accurately identifying and classifying high-quality fruits is essential for maintaining good health and nutrition. The subjective and labor-intensive nature of traditional techniques of evaluating quality highlights the need for automated solutions. This study utilized transfer learning with Four pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models—MobileNetV2, ResNet50, VGG16, and EfficientNetB0 —to detect the quality of five fruits: apple, banana, strawberry, orange, and mango. All models were trained and tested with a public labeled fruit images dataset, and their performance was evaluated in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Our results demonstrate that ResNet50 consistently achieves the highest accuracy across all fruit types, surpassing MobileNetV2, EfficientNet and VGG16. Additionally, our models' performance is benchmarked against state-of-the-art techniques, underscoring the superior accuracy and reliability of ResNet50 in automated quality control systems within the agricultural and food sectors.
Adaptación evolutiva y adaptación ontogenética
Authors: Caponi Gustavo Andres
Published: January 2025

The differentiation between the notions of evolutionary adaptation and ontogenetic adaptation may require some precisions that go beyond those introduced in their more usual presentations. But recognizing this does not lead either to invalidate this distinction or to make it less clear. On the contrary, these precisions, all of them associated with the notion of heritability, allow characterizations of both notions that are clearer than the usual ones and that avoid the temptation to think of them as nothing more than the ideal and impossible poles of a gradation in which any clear distinction is dissolved.
Ángel Gallardo y el electromagnetismo celular
Authors: Cornejo Jorge Norberto
Published: January 2025

Ángel Gallardo (1867-1934) was President of the Sociedad Científica Argentina (1895-1896), director of the Anales of the SCA in various periods, Director of the Museo de Historia de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (1897-1916), and President of the Academia Nacional de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales (1927-1934). These are just a few of the many important positions he held throughout his life. Initially trained as a Civil Engineer, his interest in Natural Sciences was almost parallel to his career in Engineering, which led him to occupy the chair of Botany and then that of Zoology at the Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. In this last Faculty, in 1902 he received the title of Doctor of Natural Sciences.
His thesis, entitled “Interpretación dinámica de la división celular”, presented a new way of interpreting mitosis or karyokinesis, based on the interpretation of cells as entities capable of experiencing electromagnetic forces. Even though this conception is now outdated, at the time it received wide recognition and constituted a significant advance for the interpretation of cariokinetic phenomena. This work is dedicated to describing and contextualizing this theory, valuable both from the historical point of view and from the new visions regarding cellular behavior.

This paper analyzes how, in the eminently professional institutional setting of the university at the beginning of the s. XX, the Facultad de Ciencias Económicas presents the conditions for experimental research; the underlying research system that makes possible the experimental program of Alfredo Palacios is described, as well as the role of the Seminar, a specific section of the investigation, which was actually part of the investigation group.
Methodologically, primary and secondary sources were used, mainly the empirical support of little used sources from the Treasury of the Facultad library and the archives of the Museum of Experimental Psychology in Argentina.
For the characterization and explanation of the experimental research, we resorted mainly to the empirical support of little-used sources from the Treasure of the Facultad library and the archives of the Museum of Experimental Psychology in Argentina.
The paper shows that Palacios' experimental investigations were not limited to a typical investigation of his time, the individual attempt, but that it was possible by virtue of a novel model of investigation that emerged as one of the main purposes of the creation of the Facultad in 1913.
A theoretical juice extractor
Authors: Barrantes Manuel
Published: January 2025

It has recently been argued that mathematics can play a genuinely explanatory role in science. Cases where this is supposed to be the case have been divided into those where the explanatory role is played by mathematical operations, and those where it is played by mathematical entities. In this article, I analyze some of these purported cases and argue that claims that mathematics can be genuinely explanatory are unfounded. Throughout my discussion, I emphasize the representational role of mathematics, as opposed to its supposed explanatory role: the role of mathematics, even in the cases that I discuss, is to represent physical facts and help draw inferences about those facts.

Authors: Panahikia Aida , Soylu Dilek
Published: January 2025

The objective of this study was to explore and develop effective counseling strategies to enhance self-advocacy among young adults with disabilities. This qualitative research involved semi-structured interviews with 22 young adults aged 18 to 30 with various disabilities, including physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities. Participants were recruited through disability support organizations, educational institutions, and social media platforms. The data collection focused on understanding participants' experiences, challenges, and strategies related to self-advocacy. Thematic analysis was used to identify key themes and patterns in the data, with the goal of achieving theoretical saturation. The analysis revealed three main themes: understanding of self-advocacy, experiences with self-advocacy, and challenges and barriers to self-advocacy. Participants highlighted the importance of self-advocacy for personal empowerment and independence. Positive advocacy experiences were linked to increased self-esteem and better outcomes in education and employment. Support systems, such as family and counselors, were crucial in facilitating self-advocacy. However, significant barriers included societal attitudes, institutional policies, and personal limitations. Assistive technology and comprehensive leadership training were identified as effective strategies for enhancing self-advocacy skills. Enhancing self-advocacy among young adults with disabilities requires targeted counseling interventions that focus on building essential skills and addressing barriers. Collaborative approaches involving family and community support are critical. Policymakers should implement inclusive policies and ensure access to assistive technologies. Future research should explore the long-term impact of self-advocacy training and consider the intersectionality of disability with other factors such as race and gender.
Differentiated Instruction in Mixed-Ability Classrooms: Experiences of Special Education Teachers
Authors: Patel Daniel , Kim Nora
Published: January 2025

This study aims to explore the experiences of special education teachers in implementing differentiated instruction (DI) within mixed-ability classrooms. This qualitative research utilized a phenomenological approach to gain in-depth insights into the participants' experiences. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 25 special education teachers from various schools in a metropolitan area. Participants were selected through purposive sampling to ensure they had significant experience with DI. The interviews, each lasting 60 to 90 minutes, were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using thematic analysis. The data collection continued until theoretical saturation was achieved, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the teachers' experiences. The analysis revealed three main themes: challenges in differentiated instruction, strategies for effective differentiation, and perceived effectiveness and outcomes. Teachers reported significant challenges, including resource limitations, managing student diversity, assessment difficulties, increased workload, and issues with parental involvement. To address these challenges, teachers employed strategies such as flexible grouping, curriculum adaptation, professional development, collaborative planning, and enhancing student engagement. The perceived effectiveness of DI included improved student progress, positive changes in classroom dynamics, increased teacher satisfaction, and greater inclusivity. Differentiated instruction is a vital approach in mixed-ability classrooms, promoting equitable learning opportunities for all students. Despite the challenges, the strategic implementation of DI leads to significant positive outcomes in student performance and classroom inclusivity. Schools should support teachers through professional development, adequate resources, and collaborative opportunities to enhance the effectiveness of DI. Further research should focus on larger, diverse samples and mixed-methods approaches to provide a more comprehensive understanding of DI practices.

Authors: Foster Liam J.
Published: January 2025

This study aims to explore the impact of sleep disorders on daily functioning in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) through the perspectives of their caregivers. A qualitative research design was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with 23 caregivers of children aged 4-12 years diagnosed with ASD. Participants were recruited through local autism support groups, special education schools, and pediatric clinics. Interviews focused on the types, frequency, and severity of sleep disorders, their impact on the child's behavior, academic performance, social interactions, physical health, and family dynamics, as well as the strategies used to manage these issues. Thematic analysis was used to identify key themes and patterns from the data. The study identified several types of sleep disorders among children with ASD, including insomnia, sleep apnea, and night terrors, varying in frequency and severity. Sleep disturbances were found to significantly impact daily functioning, leading to behavioral issues, academic challenges, social difficulties, and physical health problems. Caregivers employed a range of coping strategies, such as medical interventions, behavioral routines, environmental modifications, dietary adjustments, and alternative therapies, with varying degrees of success. Barriers to effective management included cost, accessibility, and lack of knowledge. The need for individualized, adaptive approaches to treatment was emphasized. Sleep disorders in children with ASD have profound effects on their daily functioning and overall quality of life. Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive, individualized approach that considers the unique needs of each child. Collaboration with caregivers and regular adjustments to intervention strategies are essential for effective management. Further research should focus on larger, more diverse samples and incorporate objective sleep measures to provide a more comprehensive understanding of these challenges.
Ego State Therapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial on Prosocial and Health Motivational Outcomes in Young Adults with Physical Disabilities
Authors: Malik Shazia
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Ego State Therapy (EST) in enhancing prosocial behavior and health motivation among young adults with mild physical disabilities. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) design was employed, involving 30 participants aged 18-30 with diagnosed mild physical disabilities. Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n=15), which received eight 90-minute sessions of EST, or the control group (n=15), which received no intervention. Prosocial behavior and health motivation were assessed using the Prosocialness Scale for Adults (PSA) and the Health Motivation Scale (HMS), respectively, at baseline, post-intervention, and five-month follow-up. Data were analyzed using SPSS-27 software, with analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measurements and Bonferroni post-hoc tests to control for multiple comparisons. Results indicated significant improvements in prosocial behavior (F(2, 28) = 12.45, p < 0.001) and health motivation (F(2, 28) = 10.89, p < 0.001) in the intervention group compared to the control group. These improvements were sustained over the five-month follow-up period, with significant interaction effects between group and time for both prosocial behavior (F(2, 28) = 8.67, p < 0.001) and health motivation (F(2, 28) = 9.23, p < 0.001). Bonferroni post-hoc tests confirmed significant improvements from baseline to post-intervention and from baseline to follow-up in the intervention group, with no significant changes in the control group. Ego State Therapy significantly enhances prosocial behavior and health motivation in young adults with mild physical disabilities, with sustained effects over a five-month follow-up period. These findings suggest that EST is a valuable therapeutic approach for promoting psychological integration and well-being in this population. Future research should explore the mechanisms underlying these effects and the potential benefits of integrating EST with other therapeutic modalities.

Authors: Auliya Nabilah , Rohmah Nikmatur , Yulis Zuhrotul Eka
Published: January 2025

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that causes stigma, especially in teenagers. An individual who is stigmatized will have an impact on his status of honor. The aim of this study is to find out the relationship between self-stigmatism and self-esteem in TB teenagers using the Roy Adaptation Model Theory approach. This research uses a cross-sectional design. The population in this study is 139 teenagers who suffer from TB in Jember. The sample in this study is 103. Respondents are selected through cluster sampling. Data collection was done using Van Rie's TB Stigma Scale and Rosernberg Self-Esteem Scale questionnaires. Data analysis using binomial logistic regression tests. The results of the study showed that TB teenagers mostly experienced bad self-stigmatism (54.4%) and mostly negative self-esteem (60%). There was a connection between self-stigma and self-esteem in TB teenagers after controlling for family type (OR = 3,987; p = 0,007). Tuberculosis teenagers who experience bad self-stigmatism are more likely to have negative self-esteem. The family has an important role to play in creating a mechanism against self-stigmatism. A good coping mechanism determines the status of self-esteem. Positive self-esteem demonstrates the adaptive response of youths with TB, thereby increasing youth motivation for rehabilitation in healthcare.

Published: January 2025

The food and feeding habits of Raiamas senegalensis from Chakawa Reservoir, Mayo – Belwa, Adamawa State was evaluated monthly for a period of one year. A total of 72 samples of R. senegalensis were collected, washed with clean water and preserved in ice crest to minimize any post–mortem changes, taken to the laboratory for stomach contents analysis, where stomachs were preserved in formalin solution of about four percent (4%). Stomach contents of each sample were identified and analysed using the numerical and frequency of occurrence methods. The diet of the R. senegalensis constituted of fish materials, insects, other materials such as sand particles and unidentified worms, plant materials which were the remains of plants, phytoplankton and zooplankton. Numerical analysis showed that insects were dominant and composed of 71.53% of the group of food items in the stomach, zooplankton 11.52%, other materials (unidentified worms) 8.15%, plants materials (remains of plants) 4.47%, phytoplankton 3.41% and fish materials were the least with 0.92%%. The frequency of occurrence indicated that Cullicoides spp. larvae were dominant and found in 58.82% of the stomach, Cullicoides spp. pupae, remains of insects and Nauplius spp. all in 57.35%, while the least was Barbus spp. in 19.11%. Findings from this study indicated that R. senegalensis is a predatory fish feeding mostly on insects, but also consumes fish, plants, phytoplankton and zooplankton. hence, could be considered as carnivore – insectivore. Further study should be carried out on the food and feeding habits of R. senegalensis from other freshwater bodies in Nigeria.

Published: January 2025

The study examined the role of human resource management practices in enhancing effective service delivery in public secondary schools in Rivers State. Two research questions guided the study, which used a descriptive survey design. The population consisted of all 375 principals of public senior secondary schools in Rivers State. We selected the entire population using a purposive sampling technique. We collected data using the Human Resource Management Practices for Effective Service Delivery (HRMPESD) instrument. Experts from the Department of Educational Management at Rivers State University validated the instrument, determining its reliability coefficient of 0.84 through split-half statistics. Five research assistants distributed a total of 375 questionnaires, and they retrieved 360 of them, resulting in a 96% response rate. The data were analysed using mean and standard deviation. The findings revealed that human resource management practices for effective service delivery included involving teachers in decision-making processes, encouraging participation in training programs, and enhancing career development opportunities for teachers. The study recommended that principals should enhance teachers' involvement in decision-making by creating structured platforms such as regular staff meetings, policy review committees, and feedback mechanisms. Principals should also collaborate with educational authorities and non-governmental organisations to provide funding and logistical support for teachers' participation in workshops, seminars, and training programs.

Authors: Udogu, Christiana Obiageli
Published: January 2025

The effects of language misuse and hate speech are seemingly neglected. This study explores the effects of language misuse and hate speech on individuals and corporate organisations. It relied on questionnaire data from 400 respondents across Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, and Abia States, as well as observation and library and internet print materials for both primary and secondary data. Survey design and mixed methods along with plausible tools are used. The analysis proves that language misuse and hate speech, which correlate significantly, have some adverse effects on individuals and corporate organisations. The effects are linguistic, social, psychological and otherwise. The study concludes that hate speech is a manifestation of language misuse. It recommends operational legislation, language-based and technology-driven techniques, and stringent and strategic measures as the panacea.

Authors: Ineye-Briggs Amarachi Cynthia , Kayii NumbaraBari Emmanuel
Published: January 2025

Investigating strategic education reforms to enhance the quality of business studies delivery in Rivers State secondary schools is the central focus of this descriptive survey. The target population consisted of all the 381 public junior secondary schools in Rivers State. However, the researchers purposively sampled 356 respondents from the three senatorial districts of Rivers State. The study was guided by two research questions and two hypotheses, and the researchers designed a rating scale, the Educational Reform Strategies and Business Studies Delivery Questionnaire (ERSBSDQ), for data collection. We subjected the instrument to content and face validity to ensure its alignment with the research objectives. We conducted a reliability test using Cronbach's alpha, which yielded coefficients of 0.71 and 0.75 for different sections of the instrument, indicating acceptable levels of internal consistency. We conducted the analysis by calculating the mean on an item-by-item basis and using ANOVA for the hypotheses. The findings, among other things, revealed that while curriculum enhancement enhances the delivery of business studies by preparing students for practical skills, promoting entrepreneurship education, and integrating technology, it does not align with contemporary business practices or provide sufficient updated teaching materials. Additionally, while quality assurance improves the delivery of business studies by supporting teaching methodologies and instructional materials, it falls short in terms of teacher training, feedback mechanisms, and adherence to standards. It was recommended that to address gaps in the effective delivery of business studies, targeted professional development programs should be implemented and quality assurance processes should be strengthened by ensuring constructive feedback and regular supervision of classroom activities.

Microalgae photosynthetic carbon sequestration technology, financing subsidies and carbon trading mechanism: An evolutionary game mechanism modeling study from a biomechanical perspective
Authors: Zhang Bo , Gong Mingyue , Dong Chen
Published: January 2025

The global consensus to move towards carbon neutrality has been growing amidst turbulence, and the issue of carbon emissions has been an unavoidable topic for achieving the goal of carbon neutrality. The introduction of microalgae photosynthetic carbon sequestration technology optimizes the culture environment of microalgae through hydrodynamics and enhances the efficiency of light and carbon dioxide transfer, thus increasing the rate of photosynthesis and carbon sequestration effect of microalgae. Based on the biomechanical perspective, this study constructed a three-party dynamic evolution game model including agricultural subjects, enterprises and local governments, analyzed the mechanism of photosynthetic carbon sequestration by microalgae, the financing subsidy system and the carbon trading mechanism, and explored the strategic choices and behavioral evolution process of the agricultural subjects and local enterprises in the face of different policy incentives, and verified the conclusions by numerical simulation analysis. The study shows that: (1) the implementation of financial subsidy policies by local governments significantly increases the willingness of agricultural producers and enterprises to apply microalgae photosynthetic carbon sequestration technology, thus accelerating the process of agricultural carbon emission reduction; (2) the integration of energy enterprises and microalgae industry in the carbon trading market is conducive to the generation of renewable energy, and realizes a win-win situation for the government’s environmental benefits and the enterprise’s economic benefits; (3) the adoption of microalgae carbon sequestration by agricultural producers (3) The adoption of microalgae carbon sequestration technology by agricultural producers is conducive to the promotion of the virtuous cycle of soil microbial communities and the realization of crop income. This study evaluates the potential impacts of different policy combinations on agricultural carbon emission reduction based on the carbon trading mechanism, which can help promote the application of microalgae carbon sequestration technology and the implementation of agricultural carbon emission reduction.
Multi-frequency and multi-system GNSS positioning error modeling and correction based on machine learning in biomechanical context
Authors: Liu Qi , Zhao Jian , Chen Yuran , Yu Jiangshun , Wu Shan , Wu Sirui
Published: January 2025

Positioning error modeling and correction in multi-frequency and multi-system GNSS is vital. Conventional methods have limitations in complex scenarios. Here, the RBF neural network algorithm is harnessed. GNSS and dual frequency data are integrated via multi-source feature extraction. K-means determines the RBF center to capture data traits. OLS optimizes the model. Through learning from extensive raw data, real-time error prediction and correction occur, resolving accuracy-complexity issues. In biomechanics, GNSS has great potential. In rehabilitation, it can precisely locate patients during outdoor mobility exercises. For example, for those recovering from orthopedic surgeries, GNSS tracks movement paths. This data correlates with biomechanical parameters like joint angles and muscle forces during walking or running. Understanding how patients’ biomechanics change in different outdoor terrains and distances helps design personalized rehab plans. In sports, it monitors athletes’ outdoor training. Analyzing position data alongside biomechanical metrics like sprint acceleration and body rotation during maneuvers refines training techniques. Experimentally, compared to RF, LSTM, and SVM, the RBF neural network’s MSE dropped by 20.1%, 30.3%, and 44.4% respectively. Execution time reduced by 37.5%, 84.1%, and 64.7%. This enhanced GNSS method thus offers new prospects for biomechanical research and applications.

Rattus tiomanicus (Malayan field rat) attacks oil palm trees, and rodenticides without protective containers (bait stations) become stale due to rain and sunlight exposure. This study aims to identify a rodenticide preferred by R. tiomanicus using suitable bait stations. A multiple-choice test with 15 treatments and 3 replications was conducted, using bromadiolone, supplemented with peanut butter, cricket flour, cheese, salted fish, cocoa powder, and desiccated coconut powder. Bait station materials tested were Ivory paper (210 gsm), Duplex paper (230 gsm), and Wax paper (220 gsm). Data were analyzed using a Completely Randomized Factorial Design (CRFD). Results showed a significant influence of formula and bait station material on rodenticide consumption by R. tiomanicus, with a slight correlation between formula treatments and bait station materials. The best formula was a combination of salted fish, chocolate, peanut butter, and desiccated coconut powder in a Wax paper bait station, with a preference score 10.82 times higher than control. All bait station materials maintained the quality of the rodenticide during the treatment. In conclusion, the study identified that a rodenticide with salted fish, chocolate, peanuts, and desiccated coconut powder in a wax paper bait station effectively controls R. tiomanicus for use at oil palm plantations.
