Botanický ústav Německé univerzity v Praze a jeho výukové tabule
Authors: Ratajová Jana
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the organisation of teaching of botany at the German University in Prague and the functioning of the Institute of Botany of the Faculty of Natural Sciences at the same university, with emphasis on the financial management, staff, and technical and other facilities. The article also investigates the role of heads of the Institute of Botany in 1920–1945: they had to be not only capable scientists and teachers but above all managers. In other words, they had to be familiar with the contemporary bureaucratic machinery and deal with it in a way that secured the maximum of what was possible for their institute. This contribution also references the incorporation of botanical charts by the Archive of the Charles University.

Development of the Auditory-Perceptual Assessment for Dysarthria: The Dysarthria Assessment System (DAS)
Authors:   Korean Society of Augmentative and Alternative Communication, Kim Ji-Yeong , Jo Dae Hyeong , Yoon Janghyeok , Park Ki-Su , Ha Ji-Wan
Published: January 2025

Background and Objectives: Dysarthria is a significant motor speech disorder that arises from damage to the central or peripheral nervous system. This damage can result in paralysis and weakness of the muscles responsible for articulation, which negatively affects the speech production process. The objective of this study is to develop a Dysarthria Assessment System (DAS) for the auditory-perceptual evaluation of patients with dysarthria. Method: We conducted an analysis of assessment areas and tasks based on literature published after 2000. This analysis guided the development of assessment content, which was subsequently organized for integration into a web platform. Results: The DAS consists of three main components: Speech Mechanism, Speech, and Speech Motor. The Speech Mechanism component includes questions aimed at assessing the symmetry, range of motion, and strength of the articulatory organs involved in speech production, with items presented separately for rest and activity. The Speech component evaluates respiration, phonation, resonance, articulation, and prosody through tasks such as maximum phonation time, paragraph reading, and picture description. In the Speech Motor component, the system measures the frequency of alternating motion rates and sequential motion rates. Conclusions: The DAS developed in this study is expected to be highly beneficial in clinical practice due to its ability to visualize and automatically calculate results, enabling assessments to be conducted via PC or tablet. Future research will focus on standardizing the DAS through large-scale data collection.
‘By parity of Reason’: Universalizability, Impartiality and Reciprocity in Cumberland’s Theory of Natural Law
Authors: Eggers Daniel
Published: January 2025

According to Richard Cumberland, men’s natural law obligation to promote the common good does not derive from self-interest, but there is really no conflict between private and public happiness because the former is contained in the latter. The aim of this paper is to disentangle the various arguments supposed to support this claim and to focus specifically on the ‘parity of reason’ argument which draws upon the principle of treating like cases alike. I will show that Cumberland tends to confuse the principle with a more substantive Golden Rule-like principle requiring that we treat others like ourselves and that he appeals to ideas of both impartiality and reciprocity in doing so. Moreover, I will argue that Cumberland’s failure to fully grasp the distinction between these three concepts derives from the way in which the overall structure of his argument integrates the perspective of human rational agents with the perspective of God.
Modeling and analysis of ensemble average solvation energy and solute–solvent interfacial fluctuations
Authors: Shao Yuanzhen , Chen Zhan , Zhao Shan
Published: January 2025

Variational implicit solvation models (VISMs) have gained extensive popularity in the molecular-level solvation analysis of biological systems due to their cost-effectiveness and satisfactory accuracy. Central in the construction of VISM is an interface separating the solute and the solvent. However, traditional sharp-interface VISMs fall short in adequately representing the inherent randomness of the solute–solvent interface, a consequence of thermodynamic fluctuations within the solute–solvent system. Given that experimentally observable quantities are ensemble averaged, the computation of the ensemble average solvation energy (EASE)–the averaged solvation energy across all thermodynamic microscopic states–emerges as a key metric for reflecting thermodynamic fluctuations during solvation processes. This study introduces a novel approach to calculating the EASE. We devise two diffuse-interface VISMs: one within the classic Poisson–Boltzmann (PB) framework and another within the framework of size-modified PB theory, accounting for the finite-size effects. The construction of these models relies on a new diffuse interface definition

u

(

x

)

u\left(x)

, which represents the probability of a point

found in the solute phase among all microstates. Drawing upon principles of statistical mechanics and geometric measure theory, we rigorously demonstrate that the proposed models effectively capture EASE during the solvation process. Moreover, preliminary analyses indicate that the size-modified EASE functional surpasses its counterpart based on the classic PB theory across various analytic aspects. Our work is the first step toward calculating EASE through the utilization of diffuse-interface VISM.
Literarische Öffentlichkeit ohne Lesen. Zur Neubetrachtung von Rifbjergs lytterroman (1972)
Authors: Wagner Philipp
Published: January 2025

In 1972, Danmarks Radio invited its audience to write a novel together with Klaus Rifbjerg in the six-part radio program Rifbjergs telefonroman. The radio show proved to be extremely popular, but the documentation in book form that was subsequently published under the title Rifbjergs lytterroman was a commercial failure. The following article first classifies this literary event in terms of literary history and literary theory. In a second step, it analyzes the event in light of the current version of Jürgen Habermas’ public theory, because Rifbjerg and Habermas hold similar views on the social relevance of literature. The analysis leads to the thesis that the literary event Rifbjergs telefon-/lytterroman realizes a literary public in the Habermasian sense without the audience reading. The article provides also an outlook on what perspective the event opens up for literary studies on Habermas’ assumption of a current digital structural transformation of the public sphere.
Ellen Key och klimatfrågan: drömmen om en ny natur
Authors: Henning Peter
Published: January 2025

Swedish feminist and aesthetic thinker Ellen Key (1849–1926) continually returned to questions of freedom and determinism, a tension actualized with special poignancy in her discussions on climate. While Key adheres to a time-honored tradition of climatological determinism, she also theorizes the need to transcend the given conditions of life through art. Importantly, she sees the spiritual evolution of mankind as dependent on the aesthetic improvement – and manipulation – of our surrounding environments. In the context of modernity and urbanization, art is also considered a necessary supplement to nature. As I suggest, Key’s reflections on climate and environmental aesthetics provide the conceptual impetus for her more famous work on the beautification of everyday life. By exploring these connections, Key’s aesthetic theories gain new meaning and relevance.
Say that It Is so! Exclamation Marks and Affect in Eva-Stina Byggmästar’s Poetry
Authors: Wikström Jenny J.
Published: January 2025

This study examines the exclamation mark as stylistic device in the works of the Finnish-Swedish poet Eva-Stina Byggmästar in relation to aesthetic norms. The poet’s use of the exclamation mark is charted in collections 2001–2022 and the affective connotations of the sign are studied through queer and affect theory. The study shows that the exclamation mark is a fundamental component of Byggmästar’s poetics, characterized by a provocative insistence on happiness and joy. The exclamation mark can be understood as a gimmick or a coercive reading instruction, but it also mobilizes vulnerability, and invokes a world to come.
Akkusativ med presens partisipp i norsk
Authors: Lima Geir
Published: January 2025

This article takes as its starting point the Latin construction Accusativus cum Participio (AcP) and aims to show that a similar construction also exists and is used in modern Norwegian, but that it is limited to certain verb types. With examples from Norwegian fiction, the construction verb of perception + present participle will be analyzed and compared with other constructions (AcI and subordinate clauses) with the intention of assessing how this construction is used. It will be shown that verb of perception + present participle and AcI are similar constructions, but that there are differences between them, and these differences are primarily related to aspect. The article argues that verb of perception + present participle in Norwegian is a literary construction that arose in Old Norwegian under the influence of Latin and reappeared in modern Norwegian under the influence of English.
Bygda som postruralt landskap i Marit Eikemos Hardanger (2019)
Authors: Brumo John
Published: January 2025

This study in literary geography explores the concept of the rural in Marit Eikemo’s short stories Hardanger (2019). In Norwegian culture, the ideas about the rural and the urban have for a long time played a principal role in constituting both different ways of life and people‘s identity. Who you are is to a large degree determined by where you live. The rural way of living has been, and still is, regarded as the hegemonic norm for „quality of life“ in Norwegian society, but today, new migration patterns and lifestyles have changed the rural countryside. There has been a significant influx of urban populations into rural locations. Key attributes of urban living transform its identity, and rural areas have changed from landscapes of production to landscapes of consumption. Eikemo’s Hardanger is comprised of ten short stories from this new „post-rural“ Norway, where identity, lifestyle, and place are more disconnected. Eikemo’s satirical short stories invite the reader to reflect on the changes in rural Norway.
Endpoint carbon content and temperature prediction model in BOF steelmaking based on posterior probability and intra-cluster feature weight online dynamic feature selection
Authors: Wang Haodong , Liu Hui , Chen FuGang , Li Heng , Xue XiaoJun
Published: January 2025

A posterior probability and intra-cluster feature weight online dynamic feature selection algorithm is proposed to address the issues of high dimensionality and high volatility of data in the basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking production process. First, a genetic algorithm with fixed feature space dimensions is introduced, which narrows the solution space by predefining the number of selected features, thereby enhancing the stability of feature selection. Second, the posterior probability of samples and intra-cluster feature weights are used to weigh and calculate the feature importance of the current sample, obtaining the optimal features that align with the current operating conditions. Finally, the dynamically selected features are used in a regression model to predict the carbon content and temperature of the BOF steelmaking process data. Simulations of actual BOF steelmaking process data showed that the prediction accuracy was 86% within a carbon content error range of 0.02, and 88% within a temperature error range of 10°C.
Investigation of the figure of merit to 256QAM FSO link for the next-generation terrestrial network
Authors: Vyas Ajay Kumar , Kumar Santosh
Published: January 2025

Free space optical communication (FSO) has become an emerging broadband network. Even with the potential advantages of FSO technology, atmospheric turbulence, cloud-induced fading, and other environmental conditions such as fog, aerosol, temperature changes, storms, heavy rain, aiming inaccuracy, and scintillation reduce the performance of the faithful transmission. This article presented the 256QAM-FSO link, investigated the effect of different weather conditions on the received signals, and summarized bit error rate, error vector magnitude, symbol error rate (SER), power spectral density, and signal-to-noise ratio, and constellation diagram with and without atmosphere turbulence scenarios. The power spectral density of the output signal is a maximum of 11.61 dBm in no turbulence and a minimum of −72.80 dBm for heavy rain conditions to noise ratio degraded in the worst case of heavy rain 0.01 dB and achieved 18.57 dB in the best case of no turbulence, whereas SNR is obtained 9.37 dB in case of fog. Error vector magnitude suffers more from the haze condition, and SER varies from 0.70 to 0.85. The maximum bit error rate obtained for heavy rain is 5,432. With the advanced modulation scheme, the 256QAM-FSO link will provide wide bandwidth, which is helpful for outdoor and indoor services, terrestrial transmission, mile solutions, and so on.
Capitalism and the Very Long Term
Authors: Venkatesh Nikhil
Published: January 2025

Capitalism is defined as the economic structure in which decisions over production are largely made by or on behalf of individuals in virtue of their private property ownership, subject to the incentives and constraints of market competition. In this paper, I will argue that considerations of long-term welfare, such as those developed by Greaves and MacAskill (2021), support anticapitalism in a weak sense (reducing the extent to which the economy is capitalistic) and perhaps support anticapitalism in a stronger sense (establishing an alternative economic structure in which capitalism is not predominant). I hope to encourage longtermists to give anticapitalism serious consideration, and to encourage anticapitalists to pursue criticisms of capitalism’s efficiency as well as its injustices.

Recent years have witnessed significant developments in the study of nonlinear properties of various materials at the nanoscale. Often, experimental results on harmonic generation are reported without the benefit of suitable theoretical models that allow assessment of conversion efficiencies compared to the material’s intrinsic properties. Here, we report experimental observations of even and odd harmonics up to the 7th, generated from a suspended subwavelength silicon film resonant in the UV range at 210 nm, the current limit of our detection system, using peak power densities of order 3 TW/cm2. We also highlight the time-varying properties of the dielectric function of silicon, which exhibits large changes under intense illumination. We explain the experimental data with a time domain, hydrodynamic-Maxwell approach broadly applicable to most optical materials. Our approach accounts simultaneously for surface and magnetic nonlinearities that generate even optical harmonics, as well as linear and nonlinear material dispersions beyond the third order to account for odd optical harmonics, plasma formation, and a phase locking mechanism that makes the generation of high harmonics possible deep into the UV range, where semiconductors like silicon start operating in a metallic regime.
New economic geographies of war: risks and disruptions in Eurasian transport routes and supply chains through the military conflict in Ukraine
Authors: Sielker Franziska , Dannenberg Peter
Published: January 2025

The pandemic and the last years’ geopolitical disruptions have laid bare the vulnerability of Europe’s supply chains, as well as the challenges posed by insecure oil and gas supplies. In this contribution, we aim to add to this debate by raising awareness of the vulnerability of trade and supply chain infrastructure between Europe and Asia. We give an overview of the risks for supply chain securities due to the risk of military and armed conflicts and geopolitical challenges more broadly, illustrated by a map of central logistic corridors and hubs. We further discuss the contemporary implications for each corridor due to the war in Ukraine. By making use of the example of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), we argue that trade along these corridors is highly interdependent and that the continued conflict in Ukraine poses a danger for independent, diversified and resilient trade across Eurasia. The paper calls for future research in economic geography, military geographies and related international business literature to (jointly) reemphasize the economic geographies of war, by for instance analysing shifts in global value chains and global production networks as a result of violent conflicts.
Neural Speech Tracking Contribution of Lip Movements Predicts Behavioral Deterioration When the Speaker's Mouth Is Occluded

Published: January 2025

Observing lip movements of a speaker facilitates speech understanding, especially in challenging listening situations. Converging evidence from neuroscientific studies shows stronger neural responses to audiovisual stimuli compared with audio-only stimuli. However, the interindividual variability of this contribution of lip movement information and its consequences on behavior are unknown. We analyzed source-localized magnetoencephalographic responses from 29 normal-hearing participants (12 females) listening to audiovisual speech, both with and without the speaker wearing a surgical face mask, and in the presence or absence of a distractor speaker. Using temporal response functions to quantify neural speech tracking, we show that neural responses to lip movements are, in general, enhanced when speech is challenging. After controlling for speech acoustics, we show that lip movements contribute to enhanced neural speech tracking, particularly when a distractor speaker is present. However, the extent of this visual contribution to neural speech tracking varied greatly among participants. Probing the behavioral relevance, we demonstrate that individuals who show a higher contribution of lip movements in terms of neural speech tracking show a stronger drop in comprehension and an increase in perceived difficulty when the mouth is occluded by a surgical face mask. In contrast, no effect was found when the mouth was not occluded. We provide novel insights on how the contribution of lip movements in terms of neural speech tracking varies among individuals and its behavioral relevance, revealing negative consequences when visual speech is absent. Our results also offer potential implications for objective assessments of audiovisual speech perception.
Traumatic separation of distal femoral epiphysis in a neonate following breech delivery: a case report
Authors: Gupta Abhinav , Vemula Sumanth , Kumar Gupta Anil , Rani Sangeeta
Published: January 2025

This case report describes a male neonate delivered by an emergency caesarean section at 34 weeks of gestation, weighing 1800 grams. The mother was an un-booked case and presented directly in labor with a footling breech. The extraction of the baby was difficult. Despite this, the neonate had a normal Apgar score and was transferred to the special care neonatal unit with mild respiratory distress. Since maternal history included prolonged rupture of membranes, the neonate was initiated on intravenous prophylactic antibiotics. On the 3rd day of life, the neonate developed swelling and restricted movement of the left knee. Initial evaluation, including orthopedic consultation, raised suspicion of septic arthritis, but synovial fluid analysis was negative. Plain radiography on day 5 of life revealed traumatic separation of the distal femoral epiphysis. The fracture was reduced by an orthopedic surgeon by closed reduction, and a cast was applied for 4 weeks. The baby was referred to a higher center for further management. This case highlights the importance of considering this rare complication in neonates following breech delivery.
Electrolyte disturbances in children admitted at pediatric intensive care unit in BP Koirala institute of health sciences: A cross-sectional observational study
Authors: Nagpal Dheeraj , S Shah Gauri , Kafle Shyam , Lamsal Madhav
Published: January 2025

Objective: To investigate the types and clinical implications of electrolyte disturbances, specifically focusing on serum sodium, potassium, and calcium levels, in critically ill pediatric patients admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS).

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 188 critically ill children admitted to the PICU. Serum levels of sodium, potassium, and calcium were measured, and electrolyte disturbances were categorized. Data on baseline demographics, underlying conditions, and organ systems involved, and clinical outcomes were collected. Associations between electrolyte disturbances and patient outcomes were statistically analysed.

Results: Hyponatremia was identified as the most common electrolyte disturbance, especially among patients with respiratory and gastrointestinal system involvement. Hypocalcemia was also prevalent and was significantly associated with gastrointestinal and endocrine conditions (p = 0.029 for total calcium, p = 0.039 for ionized calcium). The study found a strong association between normal levels of sodium and calcium and favourable clinical outcomes (p = 0.0127 for sodium, p = 0.002 for calcium). In contrast, hypernatremia and hypocalcemia were linked with adverse outcomes. Mixed electrolyte disturbances, particularly hyponatremia coupled with hyperkalemia or hypocalcemia, posed additional clinical management challenges.

Conclusion: Electrolyte imbalances are common in critically ill pediatric patients and are closely linked with underlying disease states and outcomes. Routine monitoring and timely correction of electrolyte disturbances are critical to improving clinical outcomes in PICU patients. The study emphasizes the need for protocol-driven management strategies for electrolyte disturbances in pediatric critical care settings.

The aim of this research was to evaluate the action of Azospirillum brasilense and jasmonic acid as mitigators of water stress caused by various irrigation levels in Creole corn crops. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse using a completely randomized factorial design consisting of 2 levels of A. brasilense (absence and presence) x 3 doses of jasmonic acid x 3 irrigation depths determined by three evapotranspiration (ET0) multipliers (0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 of the evapotranspiration measured in the crop area). The design included 4 replicates, totaling 72 experimental units. Evaluations were carried out at the R6 physiological maturity stage for number of tassels, tassel branch number, number of leaves on the corn cob, and number of ears per plant. Analysis of variance showed significant difference among the variables studied. The irrigation depth of 0.8 of the evapotranspiration showed significant interactions between A. brasilense and jasmonic acid in reducing water stress in creole corn plants. The results for the irrigation depth 0.6 of the evapotranspiration, with the use of mitigators, showed smaller reductions in stress (11.91% reduction compared to 0.8 of the ET0). The treatment of 10 μmol L-1 jasmonic acid was the most favorable for reducing stress and consequently increasing the productivity of creole corn plants, coming closest to the estimated optimal dosage.

Métodos: análisis y aplicación de las herramientas de los software tomográficos de haz cónico usados para la exploración de tejidos dentales y periapicales, con previa revisión bibliográfica del tema. Posteriormente, se diseñaron los pasos sistemáticos estandarizados de observación y medición de la imagen tomográfica dental en endodoncia, con lo cual se estableció el protocolo. Finalmente, se entrenaron dos endodoncistas en la aplicación del protocolo para medir sistemáticamente las dimensiones de lesiones apicales crónicas (altura, profundidad y ancho) Resultados: Se generó un documento con material gráfico sobre los pasos a seguir del protocolo estandarizado y se realizó una prueba estadística de concordancia, que evidenció un alto grado de coincidencia entre las mediciones hechas por las endodoncistas entrenadas (observadoras 2 y 3) frente a las de una radióloga experta (observadora 1). El mayor grado de acuerdo se encontró entre las observadoras 1 y 2 en la vista sagital al evaluar la altura de la lesión (ICC: 0.9997545), mientras que, las observadoras 1 y 3 lograron el mayor grado de acuerdo en la vista axial (ICC 0.9996737, IC 95%) al evaluar la profundidad de la lesión. Conclusión: la aplicación de este protocolo sencillo, sistemático y estandarizado de observación de tomografía dental permite evaluar de manera confiable, reproducible y precisa la imagen de la periodontitis apical y, a su vez, alcanzar un alto grado de concordancia cuando se miden lesiones apicales.

Authors: López Gómez Alexandra , Pérez-Villa Marjorie
Published: January 2025

Objetivo: comparar la calidad de vida de los pacientes sometidos a trasplante autólogo y alogénico de progenitores hematopoyéticos.
Materiales y método: estudio longitudinal analítico con dos mediciones de datos retrospectivos. Se revisaron 188 historias clínicas de pacientes que fueron sometidos a trasplante de progenitores hematopoyéticos. Se diligenció un formulario que indagó por datossociodemográficos, características clínicas y puntuaciones de la escala de calidad de vida EORTC QLQ-C30.
Resultados: la edad promedio de los pacientes fue de 53 años. El 53,2 % era de sexo masculino, y la mayoría de los pacientes (96,3 %)tenían una enfermedad hematológica. Los pacientes con trasplante de células progenitoras hematopoyéticas (TPH) autólogo informaron una mejoría de su estado global de salud, con un puntaje medio de 81,1 ± 16,2, mientras que los pacientes de TPH alogénico desmejoraron, es decir, empeoró su estado global de salud con un puntaje medio de 16,8 ± 17,9 a los 6 meses pos TPH.
Conclusión: la evaluación de la calidad de vida en pacientes que han recibido trasplante autólogo y alogénico de progenitores hematopoyéticos revela desafíos significativos tanto físicos como emocionales en ambos grupos. Los pacientes con trasplante alogénico enfrentan mayores complicaciones debido al riesgo de rechazo y a los efectos del tratamiento inmunosupresor. Por tanto, resulta fundamental implementar un enfoque integral que combine atención multidisciplinar, apoyo psicológico y social para optimizar su bienestar a largo plazo.
Action plans to combat sea level rise: how plans can accentuate climate injustices
Authors: Moura Bussolotti Victor , Uliana Pellegrini Izabela , Amado Miguel , Engel de Alvarez Cristina
Published: January 2025

The rise in sea levels associated with climate change may have consequences for coastal cities, which need to adapt to minimize their vulnerabilities. It is observed that in some locations, the rise of the oceans is already felt, so adaptation strategies are already being employed. Therefore, the objective of the research is to carry out a documentary review of the climate action plans of cities participating in C40 Cities that may face the consequences of rising sea levels. The methodology used consisted of choosing the cities to be studied, reading and analyzing their action plans, systematizing their content and analyzing the data obtained. The results indicate that there is a difference between the profile of cities that are already prepared to face rising sea levels and those in which effective measures have not yet been taken, especially when comparing the Global North and South. With this, it was concluded that climate change could accentuate the differences between cities in the North – which appears to be more prepared – and the Global South – which may have its vulnerabilities even more accentuated.
Saneamiento ecológico en áreas urbanas. Enfrentando el cambio climático con soluciones basadas en la naturaleza
Authors: Chamat Kimmel
Published: January 2025

El saneamiento es crucial para la salud pública, el desarrollo sostenible y la adaptación al cambio climático. Sin embargo, el 46% de la población mundial carece de acceso a un saneamiento seguro. Los sistemas de saneamiento tradicionales, basados en tecnologías lineales y centralizadas, están en cuestión debido al cambio climático. La transición de modelos de saneamiento lineales/centralizados hacia modelos circulares/distribuidos se reconoce como una necesaria medida de adaptación. Este artículo se propone examinar cómo los sistemas de saneamiento ecológico y las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza (SBN) pueden contribuir en los esfuerzos de adaptación y mitigación del cambio climático. Los resultados obtenidos de esta revisión bibliográfica revelan que los sistemas de saneamiento ecológico son eficaces en la reducción de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero asociadas con el tratamiento convencional. La implementación de prácticas como la separación en origen, el tratamiento descentralizado y la recuperación de nutrientes contribuyen a la reducción de la huella de carbono. Se destaca la importancia de la integración de los sistemas de saneamiento ecológico con otras SBN, como la agricultura urbana y la restauración ecológica. Esta integración promueve sinergias entre diferentes sectores y contribuye a la creación de sistemas urbanos más resilientes y adaptativos.

Published: January 2025

Una de las brechas persistentes en la Amazonia colombiana es el acceso a la información ambiental. Las causas de esta brecha son variadas e incluyen la poca presencia institucional del Estado, la ausencia de políticas públicas enfocadas en esta dirección, y la persistencia de visiones centralistas y jerárquicas alrededor del territorio. En muchos casos, esta brecha se traduce en conflictos socioambientales, convirtiéndose en una barrera a la conservación y sostenibilidad de la región. En este artículo presentamos GeoSelva, un visor geográfico que busca contribuir a subsanar dicha brecha. El artículo describe el proceso de construcción de esta herramienta, su diseño, funcionalidad y potencial en el fortalecimiento de procesos de gobernanza ambiental en la región. Asimismo, planteamos algunas reflexiones sobre sus limitaciones y posibilidades tanto en el contexto colombiano como el de la pan-Amazonia.
Perspectives in the Study of Renewable Gaseous Fuels Autoignition at Low and Moderate Temperatures
Authors: Yepes Hernando , Salazar Adalberto , Yepes José D.
Published: January 2025

The increased energy demand and restrictions regarding pollutant emissions have sparked the search for different renewable energy sources, as well as for the improvement of thermal processes, with a focus on reducing the consumption of fossil fuels. Renewable gaseous fuels seem to be a promising alternative for solving this issue, along with the different high-efficiency, low-emissions technologies that operate at low and moderate temperatures (600-1000 K). However, the implementation of these approaches is limited by the autoignition phenomenon and the different difficulties in predicting its occurrence in the aforementioned operation range. To identify the reasons for this fact, we carried out a review of the different research works conducted in the field. It was evidenced that most studies focus on performing adjustment processes that require prior experimentation. This allowed identifying the need to conduct a research work focused on the autoignition phenomenon in the low and moderate temperature range while using renewable gaseous fuels, as well as on improving the predictive models for calculating ignition delay times.
Genetic Algorithm-Based Optimization of Solar Photovol-taic Integration and Demand Response for CO2 Reduction in Indian Coal Power
Authors: Saxena Vivek , Kumar Rajput Saurabh
Published: January 2025

In 2022, global coal combustion contributed significantly to global pollution, producing 15.22 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). This research addresses the urgent challenge of mitigating CO2 emissions in Indian coal power plants by strategically deploying solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and integrating demand response mechanisms. The imperative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from coal-based electricity generation underscores the critical context of climate change. Emphasizing the vital role of integrating renewable energy-based distributed generators into the existing coal infrastructure, this study positions solar PV technology as a promising solution. Optimal solar PV system allocation is achieved through the implementation of the genetic algorithm technique. Factors such as solar resource availability, electricity demand patterns, and the CO2 intensity associated with coal power generation are considered in this process. The primary research objective is twofold: to minimize CO2 emissions and maximize the integration of solar PV systems while mitigating power losses. The proposed approach considers the intermittent nature of solar power and the dynamic characteristics of demand. Rigorous testing on an IEEE 33-bus system powered by the studied coal power plant reveals a substantial 29.31% reduction in CO2 generation following the implementation of the proposed strategy. This research represents a decisive step towards fostering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy landscape.

Authors: Rojas Lizano Marco Antonio
Published: January 2025

El presente texto retoma las experiencias de dos Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil en su interacción con el Estado costarricense en el marco de la disputa por la seguridad social, la salud pública y la CCSS. Estas son el MSSP y FRENASS, las cuales durante los últimos años han realizado una serie de acciones para defender el carácter gratuito, solidario y universal de la salud pública brindada por el Estado. Se empleó una metodología cualitativa de corte interpretativo, que incluyó análisis secundario de datos cualitativos y entrevistas semiestructuradas con 15 participantes clave. Dentro de los principales hallazgos se encuentra la centralidad de este tipo de organizaciones en la arena política, en donde se destacan sus estrategias de organización y movilización; además se destaca la importancia de la participación política ciudadana para la fiscalización de políticas públicas, pero a la vez para el posicionamiento de un proyecto común solidario.
cuerpo-texto en la poesía de Camila Sosa Villada
Authors: Ramírez Agüero Byron
Published: January 2025

Este artículo presenta un análisis crítico del poemario La novia de Sandro (2015) de la escritora argentina Camila Sosa Villada, una obra inaugural que, pese a sus aportes estéticos y temáticos, ha recibido escasa atención por parte de la crítica latinoamericana. El objetivo principal de este abordaje es explorar la relación entre las nociones de cuerpo y texto en esta producción poética. Para ello, se emplea un marco teórico basado en las contribuciones de autoras como Meri Torras, Monique Wittig y Judith Butler, cuyas perspectivas de género se abordan en la segunda sección del artículo. A través de este enfoque, se analiza el concepto de cuerpo-texto en la obra de Sosa Villada y su capacidad para articular un discurso de resistencia frente a un sistema social caracterizado como heteronormativo, represivo y violento. En última instancia, el artículo ofrece una interpretación detallada sobre la interrelación entre identidad, cuerpo y palabra en la poesía de una autora que desafía las convenciones literarias y sociales.
Marginalidad avanzada y estigmatización territorial en el Área Metropolitana de San José. Estudios de caso de Alajuelita, Los Guido y Pavas (1986-2011)
Authors: Blanco Ramos Roberto Antonio
Published: January 2025

Este artículo investiga el desarrollo histórico de una fase de marginalidad avanzada en el Área Metropolitana de San José. Para examinar este proceso se da énfasis en la construcción socio histórica de la estigmatización territorial en el cantón de Alajuelita, el distrito de Los Guido, en Desamparados y en el distrito de Pavas. Para lograr lo anterior se recurre a las propuestas de la sociología urbana elaboradas por Loïc Wacquant y que son enfocadas desde una perspectiva histórica. En términos metodológicos la investigación propone el abordaje cualitativo por medio de análisis descriptivo y de contenido a fuentes primarias y la realización de una entrevista no estructurada. Para la parte cuantitativa se analizan censos de población del periodo de estudio. El texto concluye que la marginalidad avanzada se constituyó a través de la incidencia de políticas hegemónicas entretejidas: el neoliberalismo y las acciones para hacerle frente a las desigualdades territoriales en relación con la vivienda.
Cuatro décadas de investigación sobre deslizamientos: análisis comparativo de la Revista Geológica de América Central
Authors: Peraldo Huertas Giovanni , Badilla Coto Elena
Published: January 2025

El artículo tiene como objetivo indagar cuantos artículos sobre la temática de deslizamientos se han publicado en la Revista Geológica de América Central (RGAC), y cuantos por hombres y mujeres. El resultado es un 3% del total de artículos publicados en los cuarente años de la revista corresponden al tema de deslizamientos. De firmas de autores se tiene un total de 75 % y de firmas de autoras un 25 %. Artículos escritos por hombres se tiene un 60 % y de escritura mixta (hombres y mujeres) un 40 %. No hay artículos escritos exclusivamente por mujeres. Estos resultados se compararon con la revisión de otras revistas, tales como la Revista Geográfica de América Central, la Revista Geográfica del IPGH, la Revista Geológica Chilena, la Revista de la Asociación Geológica Argentina, la Revista de Geofísica y la Revista Geográfica del IPGH y dan resultado similares. Sin embargo, no se tiene más investigación para dar respuestas a los resultados, por lo que la investigación queda abierta para dar explicaciones a los resultados vertidos.
Situación actual del agua subterránea en Costa Rica y retos futuros en su gestión
Authors: Vargas-Azofeifa Ingrid , Alvarado-Piedra Paola
Published: January 2025

El agua subterránea es clave para el desarrollo de distintas actividades socioeconómicas en el país, además es la mayor fuente concesionada para los usos de abastecimiento público, turístico-comercial e industrial y aunque en los usos tipificados como riego, agroindustrial y agropecuario predominan las fuentes superficiales, estos también utilizan fuentes subterráneas. A partir del año 2000 se han dado avances significativos en las investigaciones de algunos acuíferos del país, actualmente el área cubierta es 20 %. El agua subterránea no ha tenido la relevancia que se merece, por lo que ya se han dado problemas de contaminación por fuentes antrópicas debido a la falta de ordenamiento del territorio y la débil aplicación de medidas de protección y controles; por otra parte, también está presente la contaminación geogénica asociada al contexto geotectónico natural del país. La gobernabilidad del agua subterránea en Costa Rica debe fortalecerse mediante la aplicación de la normativa vigente, pese a que se han realizado esfuerzos para la coordinación interinstitucional, aún deben destinarse más recursos para fortalecer las investigaciones del país. Los mayores desafíos se dan en la gobernanza del agua, el control de la perforación ilegal y la implementación de herramientas para la protección de la calidad del agua subterránea.
O coeficiente de validade de conteúdo (CVC) como ferramenta para validação de questionários: exemplo de uso na pesquisa em educação e ensino de ciências
Authors: Vizzotto Patrick Alves
Published: January 2025

Pesquisas em Educação e Ensino de Ciências desempenham um papel fundamental no aprimoramento da qualidade da educação e na compreensão dos desafios enfrentados por professores e alunos. Para coletar dados confiáveis e relevantes é essencial que os instrumentos de pesquisa, como questionários, sejam devidamente validados. O Coeficiente de Validade de Conteúdo (CVC) é uma importante ferramenta para avaliar a validade de conteúdo de um instrumento de coleta de dados, conferindo se os itens que o compõe possuem clareza, pertinência e relevância. O presente trabalho discute a importância do CVC, destacando seus fundamentos e aspectos metodológicos. Por fim, apresenta um exemplo de aplicação prática na validação de um instrumento que visa mensurar o potencial de aulas de Física na promoção de uma aprendizagem significativa.
TECNOLOGIAS FORMATIVAS PARA O ENSINO DOMÉSTICO (1910-1930)
Authors: Nascimento Francinaide de Lima Silva
Published: January 2025

Apresenta as tecnologias em educação destinadas à formação de professoras para a atuação na Educação Profissional destinada às mulheres a partir da análise do Ensino Doméstico nas décadas de 1910 e 1930. Ancora-se em jornais, livros e dicionários pedagógicos, legislação educacional e programas de ensino. Averiguou-se que as tecnologias destinadas à formação giravam em torno da realidade das tarefas domésticas, por vezes, restritas ao lar. Por outro lado, considera-se também como escopo da educação rural. O trabalho doméstico realizado pelas mulheres passou a ser legitimado como um papel social de relevância, por delimitar um espaço de ofícios ou ocupações, seja a partir de um preparo profissional para a atuação enquanto professoras primárias, administradoras de instituições ou mesmo de sua inserção no ensino agrícola. Era uma prática que legitimava a transmissão de um habitus, espaço de autodeterminação para a emancipação pessoal, social e profissional destinado às mulheres.
The contribution of the Jewish community to the cultural life of Częstochowa in the interwar period
Authors: Pobratyn Agnieszka
Published: January 2025

Częstochowa is associated with Jasna Góra and the Catholic religion, but in the interwar period local community in was also composed of Jews. Sources unanimously indicate that before 1939 it was the second largest community in terms of population. They lived in both the most elegant tenement houses and the poorest ones, they lived lavishly and richly, or completely poorly, some assimilated into the Polish community, others remained completely indifferent to it – they constituted a wide and diverse social group. Obviously, such a large community, distinguished by its language and religion, led to the creation of a number of both social and cultural institutions, but it is worth emphasizing that the actions and initiatives undertaken were aimed at the general population of the city. In my paper, I would like to take a closer look at the contribution of Jews to various cultural spheres of the city, not only to recall the memory of past events and people, but also to show that Częstochowa, contrary to appearances, is a city of not only one religion.
