Tratamiento de vinazas tequileras mediante la aplicación de coagulación-floculación y procesos fenton y foto-fenton
Authors: Escudero Santiago Carlos Javier , Delgadillo Gómez Oscar Omar , Pellegrini Estrella Fernanda
Published: February 2024

"Este trabajo reporta los resultados del tratamiento de una de las muestras más complejas que se viertena muchos cuerpos de agua sin ningún tratamiento, se trata de las vinazas tequileras. Dada la naturaleza de las muestras fue necesario aplicar la sedimentación, métodos fisicoquímicos como la coagulaciónfloculación y procesos de oxidación avanzada como son el proceso Fenton y foto-Fenton solar. Para las pruebas fotoquímicas el empleo de un concentrador solar tipo parabólico fue de interés, para evaluar el efecto de la concentración de la irradiancia en el seno de la reacción. Los resultaron apuntaron a que con solo aplicar la sedimentación a las vinazas crudas se consigue eliminar un 24% de la DQO. La coagulación-floculación de las muestras sedimentadas conducen a una muestra menos compleja a la siguiente etapa de tratamiento vía Fenton y Foto-Fenton. La influencia del concentrador parabólico no fue observada en las pruebas usando FeSO4 y H2O2 como reactivo. No obstante, el uso del Fe2(SO4)3 como fuente del catalizador Fe3+ empleando el concentrador solar condujo a una mejora de la depuración"

Contra-Manual de Investigação-Ação Participativa
Authors: Monteiro Hugo , Timóteo Isabel , Bravo Ana
Published: February 2024

Este livro não é um manual, nem um breviário, muito menos uma “sebenta”. Estamos perante um manual do contra, que a formulação “contra-manual” pretende acautelar como duplo preceito da Investigação-Ação Participativa: a sua aversão a receitas e a fórmulas; a sua configuração dialógica e crítica. Trata-se, acima de tudo, de um “encontro de resistências, um coro diversificado de revoltas contra a falta de imaginação metodológica; um protesto organizado contra os monólogos institucionais e contra o estreitamento geral da ação democratizadora do trabalho social”. Pelo caminho, recusa também os percursos de formação e de investigação exercidos como cadernos de encargos, balancetes sem chama ou processos exangues de produtivismo académico.

DESIGN OF E-ARCHIVE INFORMATION SYSTEMS OF INACTIVE RECORDS BASED ON MICROSOFT ACCESS AT HR DEPARTMENT DOCUMENT DIVISION PT KERETA API INDONESIA (PERSERO) DAOP 3 CIREBON
Authors: Putrie Fatimatu Zachra Adelia , Firmansyah Yayan
Published: February 2024

The Human Resources PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) is a very crucial part of handling documents because it stores all employee and pension data archives, and oversees the Document Unit which manages all inactive archives from all work sections. Archives are the most important and basic thing that needs to be considered in all types of administrative and management activities in an organization because archives are information data stored about everything we do in our daily routine. However, the management of archives for the inactive archives of the HR still uses conventional archives where there is no archive backup in electronic form. This is classified as not effective and efficient if done in the present, and there is a risk of damage to the archive or loss of the archive due to forgetting to archive it. Judging from the archival situation for inactive archives that occurred here, the solution that was deemed appropriate was to design and create an electronic archive information system for inactive archives. This electronic archive uses Microsoft Access tools because its use is easy and quite familiar to use in offices that implement the Windows operating system.

MEMAHAMI FRASA “HILANGNYA KASIH MULA-MULA” WAHYU 2:1-7 DALAM PELAYANAN GEREJA MASA KINI
Authors: Sorni Lami
Published: February 2024

Kasih Allah yang begitu besar akan dunia (Yoh. 3:16), menjadi dasar dalam setiap pelayanan kepada Allah. Jemaat di Efesus (Why. 2:17), merupakan jemaat Allah yang menunjukkan kasih yang besar kepada Allah dalam pelayanan awalnya, ketika mereka memiliki kasih mula-mula. Namun, sering berjalannya waktu Tuhan mencela pelayanan mereka, karena sebab mereka telah kehilangan kasih mula-mula dalam pelayanan mereka. Pelayanan kepada Tuhan bukan ditunjukkan banyaknya aktivitas seseorang yang berbau rohani. Pelayanan yang Allah rindukan kepada setiap kita adalah pelayanan yang lahir dari kasih mula-mula, kasih yang selalu merindukan hadirat Allah dalam kehidupan seseorang.

Asset bubbles, financial crisis and countercyclical policies
Authors: Tsomaia Akaki
Published: February 2024

In this manuscript, we examine the causes of asset price bubbles and financial crises as well as the current challenges facing the regulatory framework of the financial system. We argue that the current model of regulations cannot stop the inevitability of either asset bubbles or financial crises in the future. In a causal relationship, the current system of regulations tends to deal withthe effects of liquidity shortage during recessions rather than with the causes, which can be referred to as distorted financial intermediation. In fact, regulations seek to cure symptoms rather than disease. The rules function like antibiotics,against which infection may develop immunity. We propose a modification of the current regulatory system and believe that this model should be taken into account when developing an effective regulatory framework for the financial system.

Politics, Democracy and Disinformation
Authors: Klus Martin
Published: February 2024

Disinformation and conspiracy theories systematically threaten our European democracy. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian war against Ukraine has shown us even more that we have a big problem with harmful propaganda directed by an undemocratic Putin’s regime. This problem prevents citizens from making informed decisions and undermines our foreign policy orientation, as well as the values of our society. And although the war in Ukraine has changed a lot in this regard, a significant part of EU citizens is still prone to easily succumb to massive disinformation campaigns. The aim of this text is to present the important steps of the institutions of the European Union, as well as the Government of the Slovak Republic and other official European or state authorities, which are trying to reverse this negative trend and gradually expand the capacity to combat hybrid threats.
Conceptual Change and language-related concepts – an approximation
Authors: Wildemann Anja
Published: February 2024

The construct of conceptual change is used in teaching-learning research to express the change in learners' specialised concepts. This profound change relates to ideas and knowledge structures. However, there is no standardised theory of conceptual change, as proposed by research in the natural sciences; rather, there are two central perspectives and various forms of interpretation. In the German didactic discourse, there is more frequent talk of ideas or pre-concepts that students have in relation to language, but this is not usually based on a comprehensive theoretical understanding of conceptual change as a mental change process. In this article, we will first introduce the two perspectives that characterise the (scientific) discourse in order to then theoretically negotiate conceptual change in relation to students' language-related concepts. This is an initial theory-based approach and at the same time a search movement with the aim of introducing conceptual change into the discourse as a possible perspective on changing cognitive-linguistic dispositions in language learning and development processes.

In what way do they access syntactic phenomena? And finally, what syntactic knowledge and representations do they apply? To answer these questions, we will draw on three different research contexts and bring together empirical data from different studies. To analyze the data, we will proceed with a quantitative analysis using statistical methods as well as a qualitative analysis applying structured contents analysis.
La abstracción como un instrumento del método de diseño para definir al objeto arquitectónico durante la etapa inicial del proceso de aprendizaje y enseñanza del estudiante de arquitectura
Authors: Rothschuh Dávila Reynalicia
Published: February 2024

Desde mi reciente experiencia en la enseñanza del diseño arquitectónico, escribo sobre la innegable efectividad de mostrar y enseñar al neófito sobre la abstracción del objeto arquitectónico. Entonces, ¿qué tan importante es enseñar al estudiante en su primer año de la carrera de arquitectura a dominar el arte de la abstracción del objeto arquitectónico? Entiéndase este como la expresión final del ejercicio compositivo, que abre las puertas, o mejor aún, que es la llave o la clave del conocimiento para dominar esa primera etapa que enfrenta el futuro arquitecto al momento de crear un objeto tridimensional que responda a las necesidades del usuario, que se integre al entorno y que además se pueda geometrizar y por ende construir. No es en vano la frase “la arquitectura es el arte de construir”. Así mismo, este viaje cognoscitivo entrena al estudiante a desempeñarse en el arte de analizar y reflexionar sobre lo construido. Su importancia va más allá cuando el estudiante comprende que se trata al final de la prefiguración o preforma arquitectónica, evitando caer en una expresión formal caricaturesca al concretar la función para la cual ha sido creado el objeto. Los resultados a lo largo de los recientes años han sido impresionantes al observar la génesis y el desarrollo de los estudiantes de arquitectura en el arte de diseñar y componer, además de dominar conceptos que les permitieron crecer en su expresión oral y escrita e ir perfilando su propia filosofía y/o estilo.

Optimasi Centroid Awal Algoritma K-Medoids Menggunakan Particle Swarm Optimization Untuk Segmentasi Customer
Authors: Wijaya Danang Bagus , Noersasongko Edi , Purwanto Purwanto
Published: February 2024

Customer segmentation is an important strategy in a company, it affects good customer relationships which will result in increased profits. Grouping customers in data mining can use several algorithms, but K-Medoids is the right choice because it can reduce noise and outlier sensitivity. However, the selection of cluster centers is still random and has an effect on the results of clustering, so it is necessary to improve the k-medoids algorithm so that the resulting cluster value can be optimal. Particle Swarm Optimization is an optimization algorithm that is often used and has been proven to improve the results of a clustering. In this case, optimization using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in the selection of the initial cluster center needs to be applied to the k-medoids algorithm so that the results of the cluster can be optimal. The results of the study showed the Davies-Bouldin Index (DBI) value for K-Medoids K 2 = 0.379, K 3 = 0.283, and K 4 = 0.593, while the DBI value PSO + K-Medoids K 2 = 0.088, K 3 = 0.226, and K4 = 0.363. The DBI value shows that PSO optimization on K-Medoids to determine the initial centroid is proven to improve the results of clustering than standard K-Medoids.

SOC for Cybersecurity & SOC 2® for Service Organizations – An empirical study on industry’s perspective
Authors: Makhija Anil K.
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT Businesses across the globe have been going digital. A paradigm that has been accelerated due to pandemic. This has resulted into creation of a complex cyberspace. Further, organizations have become linked and dependent on each other, due to increased outsourcing as well as shift towards cloud computing. This has also led to creation of various industry standards and frameworks that help organizations evaluate their own and their provider’s practices related to system reliability, information security and cybersecurity. Amongst these, SOC2 for service organizations and SOC for Cybersecurity are two leading reports that help organizations assess system reliability and cybersecurity. AICPA recognizes it has that there is confusion amongst the applicability of these reports, and therefore it has created some guidance on how these two reports are different and how they can be leveraged by organizations. This guidance provides an inside-out perspective driven by purpose of these reports and the methodology used to create these reports. The industry (practitioners, implementors and vendor managers, CXOs) perspective on the applicability and distinction of these reports was not yet available. This research brings out industry (practitioners, implementors and vendor managers, CXOs) perspective on the applicability and distinction of these reports. Findings indicate that SOC2 demand and usefulness is perceived high whereas SOC for Cybersecurity demand and usefulness is perceived low by the industry. Findings of this research also indicate that industry excepts AICPA to simplify SOC2 reports and make them easier to understand. Keywords: SOC2, SOC for Cybersecurity, systems reliability, AICPA, trust services criteria
Determinants of the Intellectual Capital Efficiency of Cambodian Commercial Banks
Authors: Azhar Zubir
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT This study intends to investigate the potential effects of various bank-specific characteristics on the efficiency of intellectual capital (IC) in Cambodia’s commercial banks from 2013 to 2021. Using multiple regression analysis, the study examines the link between IC efficiency as a dependent variable and some independent variables. The study uses value-added intellectual capital (VAIC) established by Pulic (2004) to assess how IC is effectively utilized in Cambodian commercial banks. The findings show that the bank size, bank profitability, and entry barriers significantly influence IC efficiency. The study’s findings cannot be extrapolated to commercial banks in other countries or other study periods because the empirical testing has been confined to Cambodian commercial banks from 2013 to 2021. The study will aid banking regulators in identifying the variables influencing IC efficiency so they can take steps to improve the efficient utilization of IC resources and maximize value creation. This analysis is beneficial to bank management. Since it informs them of the variables, they should concentrate on increasing the IC efficiency of the banks. This study is the first to examine the variables that affect IC efficiency in commercial banks in Cambodia. It adds to the previous studies about the factors that affect IC efficiency in banks. Keywords: Intellectual capital; Commercial banks; Cambodia
From Icons to AI: Evolution of Imagery in Religious Communication
Authors: Albia Bryan B. , Blanza Mariel B. , Chanco Andrew Joseph S.
Published: February 2024

Using icons in religious communication is a widespread practice that dates back many centuries. In various religions, icons have been instrumental in conveying religious messages, themes, and beliefs as religious leaders, artists, and craftsmen utilized icons to represent religious stories, rituals, and events visually. One of the main reasons images are used in religious communication is that they can effectively convey complex ideas and emotions that may be difficult to express through words alone. Thus, icons help not only to beautify sacred spaces but to make abstract concepts more tangible and accessible, making it easier for people to engage and understand otherwise lofty and abstract religious teachings. They also serve as powerful and evocative tools for inspiring devotion and promoting practices that can lead to increased participation in religious rituals and a more profound sense of connection to one’s faith. This paper aims to present the evolution of icons and understand whether AI-generated icons made possible today by generative AI tools can be employed in religious communication. In presenting the said theme, the following topics are unfolded: first, the use of symbols and icons across religions; second, the evolution of using images in various faiths; and third, the advent of AI-generated icons and the possibility of employing them as mediums of religious communication and education. Keywords: AI, icons, images, sacred images, religious communication
Interreligious Views on the Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Indigenous Knowledge for Environmental Preservation
Authors: Molino Jeramie N.
Published: February 2024

This paper employs a qualitative narrative analysis to explore interreligious perspectives on integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Indigenous Knowledge (IK) to address environmental challenges. It delves into the viewpoints of three major world religions – Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism – highlighting their distinct yet complementary stances. Christianity, grounded in the principle of stewardship, emphasizes humanity’s divine-given duty to care for the Earth. Within this framework, AI is seen as a promising tool to enhance environmental knowledge, sustainable practices, and conservation. Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’ lays down principles, stressing the interconnectedness of creation, that can guide AI integration. In Islam, the concept of “Khalifa” signifies human stewardship of the Earth. Though opinions on AI vary, there are those who view it as a means to improve environmental knowledge and resource management. Islamic teachings encourage seeking wisdom from diverse sources, including indigenous knowledge. While recognizing AI’s potential for ecological understanding, Buddhism raises concerns about excessive reliance on AI-generated information. Emphasizing interconnectedness, compassion, and mindfulness, it encourages a balanced approach where AI complements personal connections and mindfulness in experiencing nature. In summary, these religions appear to recognize AI’s potential while emphasizing ethical, cultural, and spiritual aspects. This interplay fosters holistic and sustainable environmental preservation, where technology and Indigenous Knowledge coexist. It invites further collaboration to ensure that technological advancements align with ethical and environmental values, promoting a just, equitable, and harmonious coexistence with our planet. Keywords: interreligious perspectives, artificial intelligence (AI), indigenous knowledge (IK), environmental challenges

Making Trouble to Stay With: Architecture and Feminist Pedagogies
Authors: Lange Torsten , Scott Emily Eliza
Published: February 2024

Architecture is, at its most basic, about imagining desirable futures. Yet, despite growing awareness of the lasting and extensive effects that design decisions have in the world, many people remain inadequately represented (or entirely unrepresented) by the profession, which lacks diversity. The faction of those who hold the power to design is still, by and large, comprised of a relatively homogenous group of middle-class white men who dominate not only the profession but also architectural education, even though there is now—in most places—near gender parity among students. How, then, might we—as educators committed to forms and practices of architecture that are inclusive, progressive, egalitarian, socially and environmentally just, and so on—implement and promote feminist pedagogies? Together, this set of short responses by young as well as established figures in the field, begins to sketch the outlines of an approach to architectural education rooted in feminist politics. Our goal is to offer possible tools at our disposal, from revisionist architectural history to site-specific, community-based spatial projects to gender-centered design studios.
Reconsidering Chôra, Architecture and “Woman”
Authors: Burchill Louise
Published: February 2024

Two strikingly divergent interpretations of the “feminine space” Plato designated under the name of chôra have been proffered by theorists seeking to rethink architecture from a feminist perspective. Elizabeth Grosz judges chôra to be “a founding concept” of the “disembodied femininity,” associated within our tradition with determinations of space as homogeneous and undifferentiated, whereas Ann Bergren maintains chôra offers a conception of moving, differential multiplicity that could, in its feminist implications, open up a radically new approach to architecture. Such a marked interpretative divergence in respect of chôra—which extends to the interpretation proffered by Derrida—compels attention: is this femininely-connoted space indeed cognate, or not, with attempts to rethink architecture from a feminist perspective?

Background: Many patients want to die at home, but do not get their wishes fulfilled. To combat this, it is important to understand the challenges that stand in the way of healthcare professionals providing quality end-of-life care (EOL) in the patient’s own home.

Aim: The aims of this study were to 1) determine if staff at Emergency Departments experienced significant challenges related to EOL care, 2) how often this led to unnecessary hospital admissions, and 3) if a new “Acute Palliation Kit” (APK) might alleviate some of the challenges identified above.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey among doctors (n=53) and nurses (n=74) working in Departments of Emergency Medicine or General Practice in the North Denmark Region. The questionnaire covered the healthcare professionals’ backgrounds, their perceptions of current challenges in EOL care, and the potential effects of the APK.

Results: Among the healthcare professionals, 53% of responders found the most challenging aspect of EOL care to be “Logistic Issues” and 21% “Time consumption”. Out of the responders, 64% had sometimes, often, or always felt the need to admit/maintain admission/push to admit a dying patient, because it was too challenging to start the EOL care at home. On the potential effect of APK, 74% thought it would save time. In addition, most responders thought it would give both the patient and their next of kins better EOL care.

Conclusion: This study showed that doctors and nurses in Departments of Emergency Medicine found discharging patients to EOL care at home challenging mainly due to logistic problems leading to hospital admissions. This was often contrary to the patient’s wishes and takes time and resources from the healthcare professionals. In the future, logistics of EOL care must be simplified if fewer patients are to be admitted to die. A pre-packed EOL care kit might reduce logistics but needs evaluation in dedicated studies.
Perspektiver på legedeltagelse og legepraksis i grønlandske børnehaver – mellem risikofyldte, grænseudforskende og farlige lege
Authors: Holflod Kim
Published: February 2024

Denne artikels formål er at undersøge og diskutere, hvordan leg ser ud i grønlandske børnehaver, og hvordan det pædagogiske personale heri deltager i børns institutionaliserede leg. Artiklen indledes med en kulturhistorisk kontekstualisering af børnehaveområdet i Grønland med perspektiver på leg, opdragelse og udvikling i oprindelige samfund. Det empiriske afsæt eret kortvarigt og refleksivt etnografisk feltarbejde i tre børnehaver i Nuuk, Grønland samt samtaler og interviews med personale og ledere om værdier, perspektiver og forståelser knyttet til børns leg og voksnes deltagelse i den. Inspireret af refleksiv tematisk analyse udvikler jeg i artiklen to temaer: 1) Balanceringer mellem formålsdreven og fri leg samt 2) Leg med og på kanten af grænser – lystfuld og farefuld leg. Temaerne illustrerer dels generelle perspektiver på børns leg og voksnes deltagelse i den og dels specifikke kultur- og kontekstsensitive analyser og refleksioner over risikofyldt og grænseudforskende leg som pædagogisk opmærksomhed i grønlandske børnehaver. I artiklens diskussion udfolder jeg tegn på et særligt legepædagogisk anliggende om ‘omsorg for fremtiden’ som anderledes fra en traditionel ‘omsorg for nuet’- pædagogik. Artiklen bidrager med undersøgelser af leg og pædagogik i en grønlandsk kontekst, hvilket er underbelyst i pædagogisk forskning om børns leg og voksnes deltagelse i den.
Bevægelses-sanglege med familier på asylcentre – glæde, nærvær og understøttende samspil

Familier, der bor på asylcentre, vil være i udsatte positioner med traumatiske fortider, udfordrende nutider og uvisse fremtider. Forælder-barn-relationen har i hele verden en afgørende betydning for børns udvikling. Denne relation er udfordret i familierne grundet deres belastende livssituation. Dette studie undersøger, hvordan holistiske bevægelses-sanglege kan have potentiale til at understøtte tilknytningsprocesser i familier med 0-3-årige børn. Studiet tager afsæt i en praktikerforskningstilgang og er inspireret af hermeneutisk-fænomenologiske og kunstbaserede metoder. Bevægelses-sanglege er udviklet til familier med udgangspunkt i udviklings-, bevægelses- og musikpsykologi og afprøvet med seks familier, som bor på asylcentre. Processerne med familierne er undersøgt gennem sceniske beskrivelser og transformeret til musiske fortællinger for at berige og nuancere formidlingen. Bevægelses-sanglege viser potentiale til at skabe øjeblikke af deltagelse, nærvær og glædesfyldte samspil mellem forældre og børn. Studiet peger også på udfordringer med bevægelses-sanglege. Derfor er det vigtigt at være varsom i arbejdet med forældre og børn i udsatte positioner.
»Det skal ikke se rigtigt ud« – Et koreografisk designeksperiment om den flertydige legende krop
Authors: Pedersen Lars Dahl , Lund Ole
Published: February 2024

I artiklen præsenterer vi resultater fra fem undersøgelsesrunder af et designbaseret forskningseksperiment i undervisningsrummet på pædagoguddannelsen, hvor vi med særligt fokus på tilskuerroller undersøgte og eksperimenterede med pædagogstuderendes interaktionsformer, så det at udtrykke sig og kommunikere med åbenlyse bevægelser kunne ske på spontane og legende måder. Baggrunden for eksperimentet er, at mange pædagogstuderende har svært ved at være kreative og legende med deres kroppe og bevægelser, på trods af at dette udgør et væsentligt aspekt ved den pædagogiske faglighed, nemlig det at kunne gøre, handle og sætte ting i gang med fysisk fremtoning og udtryk. Mere specifikt undersøger vi derfor, hvordan pædagogstuderende kan overkomme udfordringen med at kunne og turde vise sig frem som legende kroppe over for hinanden. I designeksperimentet bruger vi et kunstgreb inspireret af et videokunstværk, som vender blikket tilbage på tilskueren og arbejder med en synlig, fantasifuld og medlevende aktivitet hos tilskuerne. Vores analyser peger på, at komplekse bevægelsesopgaver med en grad af ubestemmelighed og drilskhed kan rette de studerendes opmærksomhed mod et fælles tredje, hvis mening ingen fuldstændigt besidder, som kan give studerende mod på at indgå i legende og uforudsigelige fællesskaber, hvor man viser sig frem uden fokus på, at man skal se rigtig ud.
Crafting Inclusive Playful Learning Environments: Exploring Affective Strategies and Atmospheres
Authors: Skriver Jennifer Ann
Published: February 2024

This article contributes new critical perspectives to Playful Learning, an emerging educational field rooted in inclusivity, democratic principles, and adaptability. It seeks to bridge the gap between playful learning and affective thinking, exploring how atmospheres can enhance inclusivity within higher educational contexts. Specifically, it investigates artful teaching practices in the Social Education Study Program at a University College in Denmark to uncover affective strategies that foster inclusivity within playful approaches. The article establishes the potential of integrating affect-based thinking in playful learning. It navigates the complexities of the magic circle of play and contextualizes the study within the broader landscape of art education and atmospheres. Drawing from a situated relational approach to affect, it introduces the concept of affective arrangements and atmospheres, showcasing their influence on agency and inclusion. The empirical analysis presents two ethnographic vignettes demonstrating how intentional design choices create atmospheres of inclusion. By shedding light on the interplay between affect, atmospheres, and inclusivity, this article contributes to the emerging field of Playful Learning. It offers critical insights for educators striving to create inclusive playful learning environments.
