Purpose
The study compares the surgical outcomes of very-early-onset ulcerative colitis (VEO-UC), which is a rare disease diagnosed in pediatric patients < 6 years, with those of older pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).
Methods
A retrospective observational study of 57 pediatric patients with UC was conducted at a single center. The study compared surgical complications and postoperative growth between the two groups.
Results
Out of the 57 patients, 6 had VEO-UC, and 5 of them underwent total colectomy. Compared with the surgical cases of older patients with UC (n = 6), the rate of postoperative complications in patients with VEO-UC (n = 5) was not significantly different, except for high-output ileostomy (80% vs. 0% at 3 weeks postoperatively, p = 0.02). The rate of postoperative central venous catheter (CVC) placement at > 90 days was higher in patients with VEO-UC (100% vs. 17%, P = 0.02). The median change in the Z-score of height before and 2 years after colectomy was not significantly different between VEO-UC and older patients (1.1 vs. 0.3, p = 0.13).
Conclusion
With regards complications and outcomes, total colectomy for VEO-UC patients and that for older pediatric UC patients is comparable. However, high-output ileostomy and long duration of CVC placement may pose management challenges.

Herein, we developed a sophisticated dual-mode sensor that utilized 3-aminophenylboric acid functionalized carbon dots (APBA-CDs) to accurately detect uric acid (UA). Our innovative process involved synthesizing APBA-CDs that emitted at 369 nm using a one-step hydrothermal method with 3-aminophenylboric acid and L-glutamine as precursors, ethanol and deionized water as solvents. Once UA was introduced to the APBA-CDs, the fluorescence of the system became visibly quenched. The results of Zeta potential, Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectra, fluorescence lifetime, and other characteristics were analyzed to determine that the reaction mechanism was static quenching. This meant that after UA was mixed with APBA-CDs, it combined with the boric acid genes on the surface to form complexes, resulting in a decrease in fluorescence intensity and a blue shift in the absorption peak at about 295 nm in the Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectra. We were pleased to report that we have successfully used the dual-reading platform to accurately detect UA in serum and human urine. It provided a superior quantitative and visual analysis of UA without the involvement of enzymes. We firmly believe that our innovative dual-mode sensor has immense potential in the fields of biosensing and health monitoring.

Published: February 2024

Recent studies have shown that code models are susceptible to backdoor attacks. When injected with a backdoor, the victim code model can function normally on benign samples but may produce predetermined malicious outputs when triggers are activated. However, previous backdoor attacks on code models have used explicit triggers, and we aim to investigate the vulnerability of code models to stealthy backdoor attacks in this study. To this end, we propose a backdoor attack approach using Abstract Syntax Tree-based Triggers (ASTT) to obtain stealthiness. We evaluate ASTT on deep learning-based code models and three downstream tasks (i.e., code translation, code repair, and defect detection). With the clustering algorithm, we generated triggers based on abstract syntax trees. We find that the average attack success rate of our ASTT can reach 92.71%. Moreover, our ASTT is stealthy and can effectively bypass state-of-the-art defense approaches. Finally, we verify that the time overhead of our proposed ASTT is small and can meet the needs in real scenarios. Our finding demonstrates security weaknesses in code models under stealthy backdoor attacks.

Published: February 2024

Cold plasma treatment, rapidly emerging as a revolutionary technology in food sterilization, has garnered significant attention due to its high efficacy, environmentally friendly nature, and potential for preserving food. In this study, the effectiveness of cold plasma to sterilize Diutina catenulata using argon (Ar), air, and argon-air mixture at various exposure durations was evaluated by comparing the inhibition zone area. The results indicated that plasma generated from all input gas types have shown the high ability in reducing bacteria density. Notably, the maximum antibacterial circle area was recorded when exposed to argon-air plasma at a flow rate of 4 L/min with a ratio of 1:3 in the shortest treatment time. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation revealed structural damage and loss of cell membrane integrity following plasma treatment. These results suggest the promising potential of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma using Ar and air for applications in food safety and processing.

Authors: Xu Wenjie , Lu Lei , He Yuxin , Cheng Lin , Liu Aiping
Published: February 2024

Microfluidic sweat monitoring patch that collects human sweat for a long time is designed, which can achieve the effect of detecting the rise and fall of human sweat glucose in a long period of time by increasing the use time of a single patch. Five collection pools, four serpentine channels and two different valves are provided. Among them, the three-dimensional valve has a large burst pressure as a balance between the internal and external air pressures of the patch. The bursting pressure of the two-dimensional diverter valve is smaller than that of the three-dimensional gas valve, and its role is to control the flow direction of the liquid. Through plasma hydrophilic treatment of different durations, the optimal hydrophilic duration is obtained. The embedded chromogenic disc detects the sweat glucose value at two adjacent time intervals and compares the information of the human body to increase or reduce glucose. The patch has good flexibility and can fit well with human skin, and because PDMS has good light transmission, it reduces the measurement error caused by the color taking process and makes the detection results more accurate.

Authors: Shankar N , Shanmugham B , Ahamed S Rafi
Published: February 2024

The accurate classification of osteoporosis is a crucial requirement in the medical field for identifying patients with skeletal disorders associated with aging. Achieving improved accuracy and reduced computational complexity in classification algorithms is essential. To address this, our research proposes a novel classification method utilizing the Hybrid Gradient Particle Swarm (HSG) Optimization-based Deep Belief Network, integrating the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm into the Gradient Descent (GD) algorithm. The osteoporosis classification process comprises five key steps: Preprocessing, Active Shape Model-based Segmentation, Geometric Estimation employing the proposed template search method, Feature Extraction for extracting medical and image-level features, and Osteoporosis Classification using the HSG-based Deep Belief Network. The proposed template search method efficiently and automatically updates the geometric points of the femur segment. Experimental validation using a real-time database demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. The results indicate an accuracy of 0.9724, affirming the efficacy of the proposed algorithm in making precise decisions regarding osteoporosis classification.
A Novel Model for Partial and Total Churn Prediction in E-Commerce
Authors: Ahmed Hossam H. , Khafagy Mohamed H. , Kaseb Mostafa R.
Published: February 2024

The e-commerce market is a rapidly growing industry, with many companies entering the market to provide customers with easy access to a variety of products and services. However, with the increasing number of e-commerce sites, customers are now able to move their purchases from one site to another or split their purchases among multiple sites. This trend creates a challenge for companies, as acquiring new customers is more costly than retaining existing ones. The proposed model is used to predict customer churn in the e-commerce market. Customer churn refers to customers who stop using a particular product or service. The model uses a dataset from a B2C multi-category e-commerce application that describes customer behavior and interactions. The model defines and predicts the types of customer churn, which can be either total (when a customer stops using the e-commerce site altogether) or partial (when a customer reduces their purchases or becomes less profitable), The dynamic churn definition step enables the model to detect the two types of churn. The model uses the Length, Regency, Frequency, and Monitory (LRFM) model combined with the k-means algorithm to define churn status in the first phase. In the second phase of the study, the model uses XGBoost on behavioral and interaction data to predict customer churn status. The results of this study showed that the proposed model achieves an accuracy rate of 98% for the algorithm that detects both partial and total churn, while the accuracy for the partial churn algorithm is 98% and the accuracy for the total churn algorithm is 99%.
Deconfined quantum criticality in the long-range, anisotropic Heisenberg chain
Authors: Romen Anton , Birnkammer Stefan , Knap Michael
Published: February 2024

Deconfined quantum criticality describes continuous phase transitions that are not captured by the Landau-Ginzburg paradigm. Here, we investigate deconfined quantum critical points in the long-range, anisotropic Heisenberg chain. With matrix product state simulations, we show that the model undergoes a continuous phase transition from a valence bond solid to an antiferromagnet. We extract the critical exponents of the transition and connect them to an effective field theory obtained from bosonization techniques. We show that beyond stabilizing the valance bond order, the long-range interactions are irrelevant and the transition is well described by a double frequency sine-Gordon model. We propose how to realize and probe deconfined quantum criticality in our model with trapped-ion quantum simulators.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of gastrointestinal alterations (GIA) and possible associated risk factors in critically ill patients with COVID-19 receiving enteral nutrition (EN) concomitantly with vasoactive drug (VAD) and/or neuromuscular blockers (NMB). Methods: Retrospective cohort study, performed in intensive care units (ICU), with individuals over 18 years of age with COVID-19 who received concomitant exclusive EN with at least one VAD and/or one NMB in ≥ 1 day. GIA were: presence of ≥ 1 of the following changes: diarrhea (≥ 3 liquid stools/day), gastric residual volume (GRV), paralysis of the lower gastrointestinal tract (GIT) (absent evacuation for ≥ 3 consecutive days), emesis and gastrointestinal bleeding. A mixed logistic regression was used to assess the association of drugs with GIA and a multivariate logistic regression to assess potential confounders. Results: We evaluated 78 individuals and 774 days of hospitalization. All of them received EN within 48h and 70.5% died. The most frequent GIA were: lower GIT paralysis, 75 patients in 362 days; GRV, 18 patients at 34 days and diarrhea, 13 patients at 22 days. Norepinephrine was associated with GRV (p=0.003) and fentanyl (mcg/min) with the presence of GIA (p=0.029). Conclusions: The NMB showed no relationship with the assessed GIA, as for the VAD we suggest the assessment of norepinephrine as a possible risk factor for GRV.
Implementation of Risk Management in Archive Management at Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo, Semarang
Authors: Soimah Soimah
Published: February 2024

Good and planned archive management will provide significant benefits to the organization. On the other hand, improper archives management will put an organization or institution at risk. Therefore, implementing risk management in archive management is essential to minimize the impact of risks that may arise in archive management. UIN Walisongo Semarang has implemented risk management since 2020. Implementing risk management is one of the components of realizing good university governance. This research aims to determine the extent to which risk management is implemented at UIN Walisongo Semarang and whether the implementation of risk management has positively contributed to improving archive management at UIN Walisongo. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative approach, with case studies on applying risk management in several work units (faculties) and the General Division of UIN Walisongo Semarang. The results of this research show that the implementation of risk management has not been optimal and has not made a positive contribution to archive management at UIN Walisongo because the archive management functions need to function better. In addition, it is due to the lack of archival human resources who understand risk management.
Linguistic Personology and Linguistic Personality as Subjects of Vladimir V. Kolesov’s Scientific Reflection
Authors: Zagumennov Alexander V.
Published: February 2024

Linguistic personology has remained a popular linguistic direction in Russia for more than thirty years. This discipline studies a native speaker or a linguistic personality with their own worldview, mentality, language fluency, linguistic creativity, and ability to understand someone else’s speech. The famous Russian philologist Vladimir V. Kolesov (1934–2019) was a prominent figure in Russian linguistics. However, in his last publication, he criticized both the term linguistic personality and the entire linguistic personology. Although specialists overlooked this criticism, it is important for linguistic personology. This article reveals the philosophical and methodological foundations of V. V. Kolesov’s criticism, as well as interprets the arguments he published in 2009-2021. First, the authors traced the development of anti-personological trends in V. V. Kolesov’s lifetime publications. Second, they identified the prerequisites for the criticism of the theory of linguistic personality. Third, they analyzed the posthumous publication of The Conceptual Field of Russian Consciousness as a synthesis that reinterpreted the previous criticism. The methods of contextual analysis, reconstruction, philological hermeneutics, and comparison made it possible to obtain two theoretical models that explain V. V. Kolesov’s conclusions about linguistic personology. The authors believe that the last thirty years of V. V. Kolesov’s scientific work was a gradual slide towards recognizing linguistic personality as an important tool in describing mentality.
Forms and Functions of Speech Communication in F. M. Dostoevsky’s Demons
Authors: Rudakova Svetlana V. , Zaitseva Tatyana B. , Vlaskin Alexandr P.
Published: February 2024

Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novels resonate with the vibes of the current epoch: the fundamental issues that his personages tried to fathom are as relevant now as they were in the XIX century. The problem of communication is one of such issues: oral verbal interaction between people is one of the most disputed problems in modern humanities. The authors relied on the systematic approach, as well as on hermeneutical, analytical, and statistical methods, to analyze the peculiarities of verbal communication in F. M. Dostoevsky’s Demons. The analysis covered the way the author introduced the main characters (Daria Shatova, Pyotr Verkhovensky, Stavrogin, Lebyadkin, Marya Lebyadkina, Kirillov) through their speech and made it possible to build their speech profiles. As for the forms and functions of speech communication, the authors believe that F. M. Dostoevsky understood the need for human communication as fundamental and urgent. The writer tested his personages for this need: it was through interpersonal communication that Dostoevsky’s characters manifested their existence and attitudes.
Duality in Language and Culture: Values and Meta-Concepts
Authors: Proskurin Sergey G. , Proskurina Anna V.
Published: February 2024

Texts of language and culture have a dual organization. The conceptual core contains the values experienced by a culture bearer while the periphery contains meta-concepts that belong to an outside observer. Such duality produces paired concepts of faith – religion, justice – law, hope – prospects, life – existence, etc. This article introduces a new interpretation of duality – not as a binary opposition, but as a semantically close chain of terms and meta-terms. The authors classified texts as those based on value-concepts, meta-concepts, and a mix of the experiences that belong to the culture bearer and the meta-concepts that belong to the observer. The resulting semiotic historical-genetic method makes it possible to detect cultural phenomena and build thematic semantic networks of language and culture that update the values. This leads to permitted and prohibited term usage. For instance, a Russian speaker cannot say I'm goggling because the action described by predicate can be evaluated only by an outside observer. However, one can say he's goggling because this cognitive scenario presupposes an outside observer. Such taboos are associated with terms and meta-terms.
Cytogenotoxic effect of trichothecene T2 toxin on Allium sativum root tip meristematic cells
Authors: Jalal Hussein Nasreen , Saadullah Asia A. M.
Published: February 2024

Trichothecene T2 is a mycotoxin from the Fusarium species. This research aims to test the effect of the
Trichothecene T2 toxin on mitotic index% (M.I.%) and induction of mitotic aberrations by using the Allium
sativum (garlic) test system. The toxin concentrations in ppm were 0.00, 0.30, 0.60, 0.90, and 1.20 for 12
hours. The garlic roots were then cut, and mitotic slides were prepared using squash and examined under a
light microscope. The results revealed that the mycotoxin has a significant mitodepressive effect at all concentrations compared to the control, and the MI% reduction was proportional to increasing toxin concentration. The highest reduction in mitotic index was observed in the 1.2 ppm treatment.
Moreover, this mycotoxin induced and increased the rate of mitotic abnormalities% (MA%) with increasing
the mycotoxin concentration. The observed mitotic abnormalities were star-shaped anaphase, sticky metaphase, C-mitosis, sticky anaphase, depolarization, micronuclei, laggard chromosomes, anaphase bridges, and
chromosome loss. The least frequently observed abnormality was micronuclei compared to the most frequent
aberration, laggard chromosomes. The total mitotic abnormalities significantly increased with increasing the
toxin dose concentration. These results suggest that this mycotoxin can inhibit the mitotic activity of the meristematic cells; it is mutagenic and can disrupt the spindle fibers' activity of the dividing cells at all concentrations, especially at higher doses in food. Therefore, the foods must be tested for fungi producing this mycotoxin.
Keywords: Mycotoxin; mitodepressive; root tip; spindle fibers; mutagenic

By considering the complex interplay between affective states and academic outcomes, educators can develop more holistic approaches to language instruction and support, fostering positive emotional experiences and optimizing students’ language learning journeys.
Cluster Based Classification Model for Trend Prediction in Time Series Data
Authors: Rajesh T.
Published: February 2024

Abstract: Real-time stock market trend prediction plays a essential role in the technical analysis for trend prediction process. Traditional historical technical indicators are difficult to trace and predict the trend due to noise or uncertainty in the training dataset. Since, most of the traditional homogeneous or heterogeneous stocks are used to predict the overall market sentiment for the institutions or retailors. Also, traditional approaches are difficult to find the outliers in the technical indicators data for the clustering process. These models only consider the static metrics or static outlier meaures due to variation in data distribution according to time basis. In this work, a hybrid knn classifier is used to predict the trend of the stock.

FATHER’S ROLE AND CHARACTER EDUCATION: A REFLECTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE QUR’ANIC STORIES
Authors: Bahri Samsul , Thahira Yasmin , Taqwadin Danil Akbar
Published: February 2024

The Qur'an as a source of guidance accommodates various factors that can guide humans towards achieving worldly and hereafter benefits. Not all the guidance of the Qur'an are explicitly expressed in the form of understandable and practical commands and prohibitions. Some of the instructions from the Qur'an are obtained by interpreting certain symbols, including through the stories of the previous populaces. This study aims to explore the role of fathers in educating children's character through the five stories of father and son in the Qur'an, namely the story of Prophet Abraham, Prophet Jacob, Prophet Noah, Sheikh Madyan and Luqmān. This study adopts a qualitative methodology by adhering to the thematic interpretation (mauḍūʿī)) pattern with a tarbawī (an Islamic education approach) pattern method of analysis. The data of this paper were obtained in the form of verses of the Qur'an and their interpretations as well as other written materials and presented qualitatively after going through a number of analyses and interpretations. The results of the study conclude that the Qur'an clearly describes the role of father figures in educating children's character. These figures educate children's character by instilling monotheism; determination to maintain faith, worship and morals; be a good listener; understand the character of the child; be democratic and respect children's opinions; and are patient even if the child disobeys.

Published: February 2024

The rapid decline in global biodiversity underscores the critical need
for comprehensive monitoring of wildlife distribution and abundance.
This study explores the trends in applied hierarchical modeling, which
is an important tool in addressing these conservation challenges. By
analyzing a dataset of 697 peer-reviewed articles published between 2002
and 2022, we examine the taxonomic focus, detection procedures, study
designs, and modeling choices within the field of population ecology.
Our findings revealed that most studies concentrated on single taxonomic
groups, particularly mammals and birds. Data collection methods included
visual surveys, acoustic surveys, camera traps, and traps, with some
studies combining multiple techniques. Notably, the United States
dominated the geographical focus, accounting for 46% of published
papers. In terms of modeling approaches, single-season occupancy was the
most prevalent, followed by various other models, including
multi-species occupancy and N-mixture models. While hierarchical
modeling has gained popularity, citations for these articles remained
relatively modest, with only a few achieving over 100 citations.
Authorship analysis revealed a highly collaborative network of
researchers, with key authors contributing significantly to the field’s
development and dissemination. Co-authorship and co-citation networks
highlighted the importance of authors who can bridge differing
scientific groups and those that have made substantial contributions to
hierarchical modeling methods. Despite its growth, the field faces
challenges related to standardization in modeling and reporting
practices. While efforts to address these issues are currently underway,
a cohesive framework for occupancy modeling in ecology is still in an
emerging stage.

The article investigates sustainable development from the holistic perspective, taking into account the complex nature of the world and the dynamism of the socio-economic systems. The study is interdisciplinary, as it addresses the issues of economics, mathematics and physics with the main focus on the modern perspective of sustainable development offered in the field of education. The article focuses on key questions concerning the expansion of the educational processes and deepening of ideas and knowledge about the dynamism and diversity of the planetary system. The holistic approach implies the interaction of various nonlinear features that have been used in the paper to build a mental model and a causal relationship schema. The understanding of the interaction of energy flows in socio-economic systems has been used by the authors to explain the underlying connection of various processes. The authors of the article propose a systemic dynamic model of sustainability, which can open up an understanding of some of the reasons for changes in the potential of the industrial sector. Modeling results have been obtained and interpreted using historical USA statistical data from 1949 to 2019. In the article, the authors reveal the relationship between nature, society and human from the point of view of promising and methodological approaches of the “new” and “old” world. The diversity of experiences makes it possible to question the dominant approaches of traditional teaching in education. This creates the need to look for new foundations that can promote the development of more sustainable learning for the future.

Political Financing around the World: A Historical Overview and Financing Models; Which Model for Uganda?
Authors: Walyemera Daniel Masumba
Published: February 2024

This paper provides an overview of political financing in the world. This enables the proposal to select a suitable political financing model for Uganda. In this regard, an effort has been made to trace the origins of political financing from North America to Africa. The justification for its existence has also been illustrated. Political financing can facilitate the protection and promotion of international human rights standards. This is especially so, regarding citizens’ rights to participate in their public affairs. The paper also shows that money has justifiable and legitimate purposes in electoral campaigns. Its unregulated use, however, may lead to corruption. Finally, the paper suggests a political financing model appropriate to Uganda’s environment. Doctrinal methods of research were used to carry out the study. This method of research involves a library-based analysis of legal sources. There are two steps to the doctrinal research methods. The first step is finding the primary sources of law. The second step is the examination of these primary sources.

Composite, copper and zinc containing nanoparticles and brass nanoparticles have been obtained by a high-performance method of evaporation of substances by a relativistic electron beam. The change in the stoichiometry of nanopowders produced by stepwise irradiation of a brass ingot placed in a single-zone graphite crucible is considered. It was found that the production of such particles depends on the concentration of saturated vapors of zinc and copper. A two-zone configuration of the crucible has been developed, which makes it possible to realize the simultaneous evaporation of the constituent components, thereby providing the conditions for the formation of uniform brass nanoparticles with a uniform distribution of elements and a high yield of nanopowder. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) were carried out, and the specific surface of the obtained nanoparticles was determined. The mechanism of formation of composite nanoparticles is discussed.

The process of hydrogen production through thermocatalytic decomposition of methane using a “nickel on kieselgur” catalyst on a quartz sand substrate with a thickness of 1 cm in the “sand-catalyst-sand” configuration was investigated in this work. The experimental results revealed a dependence of the percentage yield of hydrogen on temperature within the temperature range of 530°C to 770°C. As a result, a hydrogen content of 68% in the gas mixture was achieved at the reactor outlet under the conditions of 770°C temperature and a methane flow rate of 2 l/h.

Published: February 2024

Altering the surface stoichiometry of semiconductor electrodes is known to affect the photoelectrochemical (PEC) response. To date, several reports have hinted at the influence of the surface Bi:V ratio on the solar water oxidation performance of BiVO4 photoanodes, but only a handful of strategies have been reported to afford to fine-tune such surface stoichiometry while a comprehensive understanding of an atomic level of the role of the surface termination remains elusive. Herein, we report a new methodology that modulates the surface Bi:V ratio and, in turn, maximizes the PEC performance towards the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). We found that annealing in the presence of ammonium metavanadate drastically reduces the surface recombination while improving the charge separation. Detailed characterization revealed that this treatment filled the native surface vanadium vacancies, which are found to act as recombination centers, while inducing a significant increase in the density of oxygen vacancies, which reinforced the built-in electric field that drives the charge separation. Interestingly, coating with NiFeOx improves, especially, the charge separation in surface V-rich BiVO4. Results suggest that the V-rich surface termination altered the surface energetics of BiVO4 leading to an improved band alignment across the interface. Overall, these results provide a new platform to modulate the surface stoichiometry of BiVO4 thin films while shedding new light on the mechanisms whereby the surface termination governs the PEC response.

El presente artículo intenta explicar las razones por las cuales, tras traumáticos hechos de violencia, la cultura asiria pasó de ser un pequeño estado mesopotámico a un imperio militarista que se extendió desde la meseta iraní hasta el valle del Nilo y que, para evitar volver a épocas oscuras, desarrollo un arte de esculturas y relieves que dejaban en claro qué podría suceder con aquellos que osaran enfrentarse a los guerreros adoradores del dios Assur.

College student cannabis use is at an all-time high. Although frequent heavy cannabis use is related to cannabis problems, perceived risk of cannabis use is rapidly decreasing. Yet, it is unknown whether specific domains of risk perceptions (general and domain-specific risk, risk to others and personal risk) are related to more cannabis use or related problems. Thus, among 130 undergraduates who reported past-month cannabis use, the present study conducted secondary analyses to test whether, for both perceived risk to others and perceived personal risk: (1) general perceived risk was associated with cannabis-related outcomes (i.e., use, negative consequences, cannabis use disorder (CUD) symptoms, motivation to change), (2) seven specific domains of perceived risk were related to cannabis outcomes, and (3) domain-specific perceived risk was related to cannabis use frequency. General perceived risk to others was negatively associated with cannabis use frequency whereas general perceived personal risk was positively associated with cannabis-related negative consequences, CUD symptoms, and importance and readiness to change. Greater legal and withdrawal/dependence risks were uniquely related to several outcomes (e.g., CUD symptoms). Participants who used cannabis frequently perceived more personal risk in most risk domains and less general risk to others than those who used infrequently. Findings suggest personal risk is an important component to consider when assessing perceived risk of cannabis use and focusing on both general and domain-specific risks may provide valuable insight for future prevention and intervention efforts.
La cognición auditiva. Especificidad modal y perplejidad semántico-definicional
Authors: Méndez-Martínez Jorge Luis
Published: February 2024

Las discusiones filosóficas sobre la cognición (desde enfoques representacionales-computacionales hasta aquel de las 4E), por un lado, y aquellas sobre el sonido y la percepción auditiva, por el otro, han permanecido hasta ahora separadas. Este artículo se dirige a unir ambas discusiones en la elucidación del concepto de “cognición auditiva”. Al comprometerse con esta elucidación conceptual, se discutirá el problema de la especificidad modal. Dado que las aportaciones hechas hasta el momento en el campo del sonido y la percepción auditiva —por ejemplo, el modelo de coherencia perceptual (Méndez-Martínez, 2022)— tenderían a favorecer enfoques representacionales-computacionales, el excurso entorno a la postura de las 4Eperfilará una serie de preguntas para futuros adherentes de un posible programa en esa dirección. En ese sentido, se explorará cuáles son las implicaciones y las conexiones conceptuales que hay entre las familias de teorías en el campo de la filosofía del sonido y la percepción auditiva, y la hipótesis de la cognición extendida (EX).
Bienestar enactivo: un programa triaxial transdisciplinar
Authors: Oseguera Jorge Pablo , Ramírez-Vizcaya Susana
Published: February 2024

Debido a la proliferación de investigaciones sobre el bienestar en distintas disciplinas, es necesario desarrollar un modelo de investigación transdisciplinar para estudiarlo en toda su complejidad e integrar todos los temas y disciplinas. Argumentamos que el enfoque enactivo, junto con la teoría de red causal positiva del bienestar y la teoría de sistemas complejos ofrecen las herramientas necesarias para hacerlo. En este artículo esbozamos un programa de investigación a lo largo de 3 ejes: filogenético, sistémico y ontogenético. Nuestra propuesta nos permite: 1) desestancar el debate filosófico sobre la naturaleza de bienestar; 2) situar al bienestar como un fenómeno encarnado y embebido en un contexto complejo; 3) entender los mecanismos involucrados para diseñar mejores intervenciones; y 4) alejarnos del antropocentrismo.

Este trabajo analiza las Comunidades Energéticas Locales desde el paradigma de los comunes y explora sus aspectos clave de gobierno colectivo. Mediante 18 entrevistas semiestructuradas en profundidad con Comunidades Energéticas españolas, se examinan sus dinámicas internas y su relación con el entorno. Los resultados aportan conocimiento sobre las Comunidades Energéticas y orientan el desarrollo de políticas más eficaces. Se observa que las Comunidades Energéticas adoptan formas jurídicas diversas, con estructuras descentralizadas y democráticas que buscan una transición energética justa. Asimismo, intentan incluir mecanismos de inclusión social para mitigar la exclusión económica. Finalmente, se destaca que su apuesta por la reconfiguración del modelo energético implica definir los límites materiales y espaciales de la producción y el consumo.
