Discursive Functions of Reference Routines in Parliamentary Debate..
Authors: Ruski-Vandova Margarita
Published: November 2024

The text analyzes the discursive functions of several routines with referential meaning in oral speeches during debates in the European Parliament. The study fits into the field of transdisciplinary phraseological studies of specialized texts, carried out in France. The routines described are excerpted from an electronic corpus by applying the repeatability principle with statistical significance. Routines are lexical word combinations that stand out with a semi-permanent character and with a high frequency of use and regularity within a given discursive genre, possessing certain socio-professional and discursive characteristics. The phrases sur ce point, à cet égard, comme je l’ai dit, comme vous le savez, à ce titre, pour cela contain anaphoric and deictic markers that give them a specific discursive function, namely, to direct the audience’s attention to a piece of information, which is important for reaching consensus, the main communicative goal of the speaker. The oral nature of the utterance and the specificity of dialogism require the application of a certain discursive strategy, which includes the use of similar expressions with a referential meaning. Functioning as parenthetical expressions, routines evoke interruptions, pauses, repetitions that create relations of salience and fix attention on significant facts. The speaker manages to transform intralocutive dialogism into interlocutive dialogism, to turn the construction of the discourse into co-construction thanks to the audience’s involvement based on shared knowledge.
Did he Incite them or not: A Critical Discourse Analysis of U.S. President Trump’s Speech before the 2021 Attack on the Capitol
Authors: Dibra Alex
Published: November 2024

The objective of the paper is to analyze the speech Trump delivered ahead of the Jan 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol riot and to establish if it could be argued that the speech may have manipulated people into marching down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the Capitol and to have incited violence. The adopted analytical approach is Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), and more precisely, van Dijk’s critical approach to textual macrostructures, which combines two key aspects: micro- and macro-level analyses. Van Dijk’s approach allows one to pose questions related to lexical and syntactic elements which emerge as salient in Trump’s speech. I examine 20 segments extracted from the former U.S. president Donald Trump’s speech. The analysis demonstrates how his words play a major role in steering people into particular beliefs and in inciting violence

Published: November 2024

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in the economy by creating jobs and fostering local economic growth. However, MSMEs, especially in the culinary sector, often face challenges in managing finances, including accurately calculating the Cost of Goods Manufactured (COGM). COGM, which includes raw materials, labor, and overhead costs, is essential for setting appropriate prices and maintaining profitability. Miscalculations can lead to inaccurate pricing, impacting competitiveness and profit margins. This study analyzes COGM calculations at U&Mie, a culinary MSME known for its chili oil chicken noodles, to understand its pricing strategy. Findings from this research and prior studies by Harefa and Purwanto reveal that the full-costing method provides consistent results, highlighting the need for comprehensive COGM calculations to avoid overlooking variables that could affect pricing. This study aims to offer guidance for MSMEs in managing production costs and setting prices effectively, enhancing their market competitiveness.

Authors: Maia Yasmin , Lima Anna Karenyna Guedes de Morais
Published: November 2024

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo geral analisar a correlação entre os fatores Síndrome de Burnout (SB) e Ideação Suicida (IS) entre estudantes universitários de psicologia de faculdades públicas e/ou privadas. As dificuldades encontradas pelos estudantes frente às dificuldades acadêmicas aliadas às questões familiares e sociais podem levar ao Burnout e com o agravamento dos sintomas, a ideação suicída. Nesse contexto, foi realizada uma pesquisa de natureza quantitativa. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Questionário sociodemográfico, Escala Multi-atitudinal de Tendência ao Suicídio (EMTS) e Maslach Burnout Inventory - Student Survey (MBI-SS). A amostra da pesquisa foi composta por 50 estudantes universitários do curso de Psicologia. O estudo foi realizado através de correlação (r de Pearson) e foram analisadas se as variáveis estariam relacionadas. Os resultados indicaram que quanto maior o nível de síndrome de burnout, maiores serão os níveis de ideação suicida, confirmando assim os objetivos propostos nesse estudo.
Motivos Transculturales en el Arte Rupestre: Los Petroglifos del Río Kaka, Bolivia y otros sitios en Sudamérica
Authors: Pérez Arias Adolfo Enrique , Flores Pérez Andrea
Published: November 2024

Este estudio se centra en el análisis de los petroglifos ubicados en la comunidad Incahuara, Bolivia, con el objetivo de establecer comparaciones con manifestaciones rupestres similares de otras regiones de Sudamérica. Los resultados preliminares sugieren la existencia de motivos recurrentes, como círculos concéntricos, espirales y representaciones de fauna, que podrían indicar una conexión profunda entre las creencias y prácticas de diferentes culturas a lo largo del tiempo y el espacio. Se plantea la hipótesis de que estos motivos, a pesar de su aparente simplicidad, podrían representar conceptos complejos relacionados con la cosmovisión, la organización social y la interacción de los grupos humanos con su entorno natural. Sin embargo, la interpretación de estos símbolos resulta compleja debido a la naturaleza abstracta de muchos de ellos y a la falta de registros de las culturas que los crearon. El estudio concluye que los petroglifos del río Kaka constituyen un valioso testimonio del pasado y ofrecen una ventana hacia la comprensión integral de las sociedades ágrafas. Se destaca la importancia de futuras investigaciones para determinar con mayor precisión la cronología y la filiación cultural, así como para explorar las posibles conexiones entre los petroglifos y otros elementos del patrimonio cultural de la región.

Kundalini: The Serpent Energy
Authors: Mochanov Elaine
Published: November 2024

"Kundalini" is the psychospiritual energy that Indian yoga aims to transform and move to higher "centers" (chakras) in the subtle body. This process, analogous to Jung's concept of "individuation," begins in the earthy and underground realms and gradually ascends to the heavenly regions, or in the body from the perineum to the crown of the head. Significantly, kundalini is a serpent, and has the paradoxical qualities of this animal in the imaginal traditions of both West and East, compensating-and often threatening-ego consciousness. It is not surprising that snakes frequently appear in sandplay. In the case presented, the serpent holds and integrates the three worlds (sky, earth, and underworld) as well as the masculine and feminine energies of the client's psyche.
Inside the Witch's Den
Authors: Kiepenheuer Kaspar
Published: November 2024

In this transcript of a presentation Dr. Kiepenheuer gave at the Child Guidance Clinic in Vienna, Austria, 1992, he outlines which of C. G. Jung's concepts and discoveries were of special importance to him. He reflects on the development of a client's Self and compares it to an artistic, creative challenge and notes that the therapist is confronted with Jung's discovery of the collective unconscious on an almost daily basis through his work with adolescents. He briefly outlines the history of sandplay therapy and his own start as a therapist in a refurbished old cabin he called the 'Witch's Den'. He then presents a case study of a young boy of 12 in Zurich, Switzerland, who is meandering through what we would call the 'foster care system'. Through 80 hours of therapy, providing a comforting and protected environment for his client, Dr. Kiepenheuer eventually was able to chase the boy's demons away and guide him onto a promising path towards adulthood.

Sandplay and Addictions: Patterns of Archetypal Initiation
Authors: Lennihan Lydia
Published: November 2024

This article investigates the possibility of using sandplay with addicts and alcoholics, who often suffer from complex post-traumatic stress disorder as well as ruptures in early childhood attachment. New and ongoing research on emotional development and trauma indicates that there are neurobiological components of addiction that involve the ability to self-regulate. Early childhood trauma may impair the developmental growth of structures in the brain, especially those involving self-regulation. This paper explores the possibility of using sandplay as a tool to help heal the trauma in the brain, both developmentally and emotionally.
Auge y “decadencia” de la Diplomacia digital china del guerrero lobo
Authors: Benedicto Solsona Miguel Ángel
Published: November 2024

Los funcionarios chinos usan las redes sociales para proyectar su discurso en el exterior. El uso de la diplomacia del guerrero lobo promueve una imagen positiva de los logros de China y critica a Occidente mediante técnicas de desinformación y a través de las redes sociales. La asertividad china es cada vez mayor en política exterior y coordinada desde la cúpula del Partido Comunista en temas de interés nacional como Xinjiang, Taiwán y Hong Kong o en defensa de las políticas de control de la pandemia de COVID-19. Sin embargo, la dureza de la diplomacia digital podría declinar, si Beijing quiere mantener las relaciones con Occidente en un período de ajuste como el que vive.

Published: November 2024

Para reducir excedentes de fruta en el segundo semestre, dos prácticas fueron evaluadas en comparación con el libre crecimiento (Testigo) estas fueron “intervención específica”, basada en la detención del crecimiento del racimo durante el estado reproductivo (T2) y la eliminación del racimo en la emisión (T3). Se realizaron basados en el análisis poblacional de épocas de excedente de fruta. Se encontró que las plantas de la intervención específica, presentaron menor tiempo entre la identificación y la emisión del racimo, seguidas por las plantas en que se eliminó el racimo al momento de su emisión. La mayor emisión foliar ayuda a explicar la velocidad de crecimiento de los tratamientos. Las prácticas reducen el rendimiento biológico, pero desde el punto de vista económico evitan pérdidas.

Authors: Villaseñor-Ortiz Diego Ricardo , Lata-Tenesaca Luis Felipe
Published: November 2024

El estudio examinó el impacto de la aplicación foliar de silicio en el cultivo de banano. Se evidenció que el tratamiento con silicato de calcio (1000 cm3 ha-1) estimuló el crecimiento saludable de plantas, fortaleciendo las paredes celulares con calcio y mejorando la resistencia a enfermedades con silicio. Además, los tratamientos con silicato de potasio y silicato de calcio redujeron la severidad de la sigatoka negra y mantuvieron hojas libres de enfermedades. En términos de producción, ciertos tratamientos mostraron un rendimiento superior en masa de racimo y longitud de dedo. Sin embargo, no se observaron diferencias significativas en masa de raquis, grado y número de manos.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze in-hospital and 1-year morbidity and mortality associated with acute gastrointestinal dysfunction in critically ill patients with COVID-19 via a prespecified scoring system. Methods: Between March and July 2020, consecutive hospitalized patients with COVID-19 from a single institution were retrospectively analyzed by medical chart review. Only those who remained in the intensive care unit for more than 24 hours were included. Gastrointestinal dysfunction was assessed according to a predefined 5-point progressive gastrointestinal injury scoring system, considering the first 7 days of hospitalization. Laboratory data, comorbidities, the need for mechanical ventilation, the duration of intensive care unit stay, and subsequent in-hospital and 1-year mortality rates were also recorded. Results: Among 230 patients who were screened, 215 were included in the analysis. The median age was 68 years (54 - 82), and 57.7% were male. The total gastrointestinal dysfunction scores were 0 (79.1%), I (15.3%), II (4.7%), III (0.9%), and IV (0%). Any manifestation of gastrointestinal dysfunction was present in 20.9% of all patients and was associated with longer lengths of stay (20 days [11 - 33] versus 7 days [4 – 16]; p < 0.001] and higher C-reactive protein levels on admission (12.8mg/mL [6.4 - 18.4] versus 5.7mg/mL [3.2 - 13.4]; p < 0.001). The gastrointestinal dysfunction score was significantly associated with mortality (OR 2.8; 95%CI 1.7 - 4.8; p < 0.001) and the need for mechanical ventilation (OR 2.8; 95%CI 1.7 - 4.6; p < 0.001). Both in-hospital and 1-year death rates progressively increased as gastrointestinal dysfunction scores increased. Conclusion: In the current series of intensive care unit patients with COVID-19, gastrointestinal dysfunction severity, as defined by a prespecified scoring system, was predictive of adverse in-hospital and 1-year outcomes.

Authors: Kıralioğlu Tuna
Published: November 2024

Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a transformative tool in automating credit scoring, particularly in the domain of microfinance, where access to credit often hinges on unconventional data and rapid decision-making. This research investigates the integration of ML algorithms into credit scoring models for microfinance, focusing on their ability to assess creditworthiness using diverse data sources such as transactional histories, social behavior, and mobile usage patterns. By automating the traditionally manual and subjective processes of credit evaluation, ML offers increased accuracy, scalability, and efficiency, enabling financial institutions to serve underserved populations more effectively. The study explores various ML techniques, including decision trees, random forests, and neural networks, and evaluates their performance in predicting default risk. Challenges such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the interpretability of ML models are also addressed. Through case studies and experimental validation, this research aims to provide actionable insights into leveraging ML for credit scoring in microfinance, highlighting its potential to improve financial inclusion and operational efficiency.

La mondialisation de nos jours a permis de faire de production, d’échange et de consommation des biens matériels à des différents niveaux et des allures que le monde n’avait jamais connus au paravent. Cela a occasionné la traçabilité écologique liée aux activités de l’homme à travers l’humanité. Si l’impact de la mondialisation sur l’environnement reste difficile à évaluer avec précision, il n’en est pas moins évident dans certains domaines notamment celui du réchauffement climatique. En effet, le réchauffement climatique est un problème international urgent, auquel les acteurs de la planète ne répondent pas encore suffisamment. La mondialisation que nous voulons tous est compatible qu’avec un environnement sain et suffisamment riche en ressources pour satisfaire durablement les besoins des prochaines générations avec une condition majeure de la guider énergiquement sur une voie durable. C’est dans ce contexte que justifie le sens de ce présent article. Mots-clés : Mondialisation, Réchauffement climatique.

A tuberculose (TB) é uma doença infecciosa causada pela bactéria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Sua transmissão ocorre por via aérea mediante a inalação de aerossóis exalados por indivíduos contaminados a partir de tosse, fala ou espirro. Dessa forma, a disseminação da TB está intimamente relacionada a condições socioeconômicas desfavoráveis, o que expõe determinados grupos sociais, como a população privada de liberdade (PPL), a uma maior suscetibilidade, devido a fatores como limitações no acesso aos serviços de saúde e deficiências na infraestrutura penitenciária.

Proposal of a topical alternative for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
Authors: Sosa Lilian , Rincón María
Published: November 2024

Leishmaniasis is a group of diseases caused by a flagellated protozoan belonging to different species of the genus Leishmania, causing infections of the skin (cutaneous Leishmaniasis), mucous membranes (mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis) and internal organs (visceral Leishmaniasis)1. This disease is present in 88
countries worldwide, mainly in South and Central America, Africa, Asia and Southern Europe 2. In Honduras, this infection is endemic3, and by 2022, 1,565 new cases of cutaneous Leishmaniasis were reported4. The treatment of choice for all forms of this disease has been meglumine antimoniate, known commercially as Glucantime® (AMG), which is distributed for intravenous (IV) administration and produces adverse effects
such as fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and nephrotoxicity. In some cases, it may be necessary to adjust the dosage of the drug or discontinue treatment if side effects are severe5 . Another therapeutic option for the treatment of cutaneous Leishmaniasis is Amphotericin B deoxycholate (AMB), which, like AMG, is administered by IV but produces immediate adverse effects such as fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, headache, anaphylactic shock, arrhythmias and liver failure6 . Although lipid formulations of AMB have been developed to reduce the toxic effects of the molecule and improve its effectiveness (liposomal, lipid complex, colloidal suspension), these presentations are expensive and make it impossible for patients to purchase this treatment. Likewise, there are less risky alternatives such as intralesional application with AMG and thermotherapy7. However, despite the efforts to research and develop new treatments, no topical treatment for cutaneous Leishmaniasis has been marketed. Topical treatments offer several advantages, including localized action, reduced systemic side effects, convenience of use and rapid absorption, making them a practical option for treating various medical and dermatological conditions. In this regard, we propose the development of a potential product that can be easily and rapidly prepared in a magistral formulation as a therapeutic alternative to Cutaneous Leishmaniasis.

Cocoa is considered a significant crop in Ecuador, as it represents a favorable source of income for the country's economy, thanks to the remarkable quality of the product. However, it faces a significant issue in its
crops: moniliasis, a fungal disease that attacks cocoa cultivation, is present in most Latin American countries.
Consequently, this leads to decreased cocoa production and a lower final product quality. The study focuses
on designing a predictive production model through a progressive web application to forecast moniliasis in
cocoa. The objective is to create an application that anticipates the presence of this disease, thereby contributing to the improvement of the local economy for all farmers. Various methodologies were employed, including bibliographic methods, design science research methodology, and machine learning models. The results obtained from this research indicate that the Gradient Boosting Classifier is the algorithm that best fits
the provided dataset. Once this algorithm was identified, a progressive web application was developed and
made available for public use by farmers. Furthermore, the efficiency of the predictive model was verified
using the statistical method of central tendency, demonstrating that the predictive model is beneficial, primarily by saving farmers a significant amount of time. Anticipating the disease enables timely preventive and
corrective measures, which could reduce losses in cocoa production and enhance the quality of the final product.
Keywords: cacao, moniliasis, predictive model, progressive web apps, supervised learning.
Techno-economic optimization of hybrid energy systems for zero energy buildings in remote communities: a case study from Turkey
Authors: Alhayali Othman J. , Mehrtash Mehdi
Published: November 2024

This study evaluates the economic efficiency and viability of optimizing hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) for zero-energy buildings (ZEBs) in remote communities, with a specific focus on Ankara, Turkey, in response to the increasing demand for renewable energy driven by concerns over fossil fuel scarcity, environmental sustainability, and rising conventional energy costs. Using the Hybrid Optimization Model for Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER) program, known for its advanced algorithms that accurately model and optimize hybrid systems by considering factors such as weather data, load profiles, and equipment specifications, we perform a comprehensive techno-economic analysis. We explore five different HRES configurations, combining photovoltaic (PV) panels, wind turbines (WT), diesel generators (DG), and battery storage systems, to determine the most cost-effective and reliable solution for powering approximately 30 rural households. The analysis reveals that the optimal configuration includes 107 kW of PV, three 10 kW WT, a 10 kW DG, and 45 units of 7.15 kWh batteries, demonstrating a net present cost (NPC) of $568,431 and a cost of energy (COE) of $0.257/kWh. This setup achieves significant annual energy production of 165,068 kWh from PV, 96,329 kWh from WT, and 27,100 kWh from DG. This configuration maintains a high state of charge (SoC) in the battery storage, ensuring system stability and extending the battery lifespan. The system's ability to consistently meet load demands with minimal reliance on the DG highlights its superior techno-economic synergy compared to other scenarios. Sensitivity analysis reveals that a doubling of fuel prices increases COE by 14% and NPC by 13%, while a 40% reduction in PV and WT capital costs decreases COE and NPC by approximately 16% and 18%, respectively. Furthermore, declining expenses associated with PV and WT installations emphasize the ongoing affordability of renewable energy solutions. These results provide valuable insights for the deployment of cost-effective and reliable HRES in similar remote locations, contributing to the broader goal of sustainable energy solutions for ZEBs.
Green infrastructure as a strategy for building resilience against stormwater in Ibadan
Authors: Busari Rasheed Sekore , Adedeji Oludare Hakeem
Published: November 2024

Insufficiency and near absence of green infrastructure (GI) which have been shown to offer cost-effective nature-based solutions in mitigating urban flood and managing stormwater in major cities in Nigeria have increased their vulnerability to destructive floods in recent years. This study conducted a spatial assessment of GI and its potential effectiveness on stormwater management in Ibadan, Nigeria, with the use of remotely sensed data. Change detection between 2000 and 2020 was conducted based on four land use categories (built-up, green area, bare surface, and water bodies) because it coincided the period of rapid land use changes and occurrence of devastating flooding in the city and environs. Normalized Difference Vegetative Index (NDVI) calculated from Landsat image data and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data to determine areas liable to flooding were also assessed using geospatial analysis. The results showed that the infill development of Ibadan has drastically reduced the available GI from 37.64% in the year 2000 to 22.84% in the year 2020 while built-up areas increased from 51.97% in the year 2000 to 69.04% in the year 2020. In 2000, NDVI ranged from -0.37 to 0.02 in the inner city showing poor vegetation. By 2020 the elements of GI are mostly fragmented with small coverage and more than 70% of the area occupied by built-up areas without vegetation cover. Vegetal cover decreased with time due to increasing impervious surfaces, creating many high flood zones and stormwater. It is concluded that provision and effective management of GI in the city can serve as a valuable tool to mitigate the problems of excessive stormwater.
Comparative Analysis of Various Judicial Systems across the World and Their Effectiveness
Authors: Khan Ehsan Ullah
Published: November 2024

The judicial system differs from state to state and sometimes within a state. They have been developed in different ways yet they might bear compliance with certain widely accepted historical norms of justice constituting the major judicial systems in the world. Hence, they resultantly fall within groups having distinct features e.g., the judicial system of the United Kingdom (UK), the United States (US) and commonwealth nations fall within the family of Common law while most of the European states, including France, Germany, and some North, Central, and South American countries like Mexico and Brazil, are influenced by the civil law family. Yet another set of the judicial system of countries including Russia, China, Cuba etc, is inspired by the family of socialist laws.
This paper aims at a comparative analysis of major legal and judicial systems across the world by offering a paradigm for comparative analysis based on epistemological arguments with a special focus on China, Pakistan, the USA, Russia and France. A section of the paper is dedicated to the concept of famille juridique (Legal Family) maintained by the states across the world by adhering to certain models of legal and judicial systems despite the diversification of laws witnessed across the Globe. An attempt to answer the question, as to whether adherence to a particular predecessor judicial system influences the effectiveness and efficiency of the rule of law in certain jurisdictions, has also been made.
Tax Amnesty Schemes in Pakistan and their Effect on Tax Collection and Economic Performance
Authors: Ali Javed
Published: November 2024

Tax is a significant source of income for governments worldwide, and a strong taxation system has a long-term impact on a country's economic performance. However, people often do not report their exact earnings to avoid taxes, leading to a loss in tax collection and ultimately affecting government revenue. Business-friendly tax policies can attract new investors, improve the confidence of existing businesses, encourage reforms, increase tax collection, and help build industries and infrastructure. The central theme of this Paper is to examine introduction of tax amnesty schemes in Pakistan in the years 2018 and 2019 and their effects on tax collection and economic performance. The short-term effects of tax amnesty schemes in countries like Pakistan may appear favorable, but their long-term effects are less clear. These schemes are considered controversial and can have adverse impacts on the overall tax collection system and economic performance, as they may encourage tax evasion and whiting of black money. The issue under study is significant as it will highlight important policy issues relating to tax amnesty schemes in Pakistan. By examining tax amnesty schemes in Pakistan this study aims to conclude the benefits of tax amnesty schemes and their drawbacks. The findings of this research can guide the government in making informed decisions about tax policy and help improve tax collection and economic performance in the country. Case study method has been used for analysis of tax amnesty schemes introduced in Pakistan in the years 2018 and 2019 and their comparative analysis with earlier tax amnesty schemes. Tax amnesty schemes, based on their nature, tend to widen tax gaps and do not address structural inefficiencies. Pakistan's tax system is complicated and often discriminatory, leading to inadequate revenue generation. Consequently, Pakistan needs a series of reforms to improve its tax collection and enhance economic performance. Instead of relying solely on tax amnesty schemes, the government should focus on overhauling the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), building confidence in tax institutions, automating tax systems, and introducing a system that incentivizes citizens to join the tax net. By implementing these policies, Pakistan can increase its tax revenue and improve its economic performance. Based on research work carried out policy recommendations have been given regarding tax collection and economic performance in view of amnesty schemes launched in Pakistan..
