Biodegradable scaffolds for bone defect treatment
Authors: Karolina Magdalena Antonowicz , Brzezińska _Brzezińska , Walke Witold , Taratuta Anna , Pawlik Mateusz
Published: February 2024

Purpose

Animals, especially dogs are nowadays treated like family members so that when their pet's health condition has deteriorated, they go with them to the veterinarian. Common reasons for emergency visits include injuries and a decrease in animal performance due to progressive disease. The dynamic development of veterinary medicine and manufacturing techniques allows implants to be made using additive techniques. As an innovative solution dedicated as a scaffold for bone tissue reconstruction are the implants proposed by Cabiomede made of PLA. These implants should have the right properties to ensure the right conditions for bone fusion. It is also important to determine the time of degradation, which is associated with a significant loss of mechanical properties.

Methods

Therefore, the study assessed the mechanical properties of polymer implants made by FDM printing technology. The static compression and three-point bending tests, material wettability, and macro and microscopic observations were carried out. The effect of steam sterilization on the change in the determined parameters was also determined.

Results

Hydrolytic degradation initiated by exposure to Ringer's solution resulted in a change in structure from amorphous to semicrystalline. This indicates a partial dissolution of the amorphous phase and thus an increase in the percentage of the crystalline phase which resulted in the brittleness of the material.

Conclusions

The compressive strength values of PLA implants are similar to those of cancellous bone.
Enhancing rheological muscle models with stochastic processes
Authors: Zagrodny Bartłomiej , Wojnicz Wiktoria , Ludwicki Michał , Barański Robert
Published: February 2024

Purpose

Biological musculoskeletal systems operate under variable conditions. Muscle stiffness, activation signals, and loads change during each movement. The presence of noise and different harmonic components in force production significantly influences the behaviour of the muscular system. Therefore, it is essential to consider these factors in numerical simulations.

Methods

This study aims to develop a rheological mathematical model that accurately represents the behaviour of the actual muscular system, taking into account the phenomena described by the stochastic model in the form of stationary processes. Stochastic disturbances were applied to simulate variable conditions, in which musculo-skeletal system operates. Numerical simulations were conducted for two dynamic tasks, where we calculated the internal force generated by the system (task 1), and its displacement (task 2). These simulations were performed using two different datasets sourced from the literature. In the next step, simulation results were compared with our own experiment.

Results

The considered mathematical model was successfully tuned and compared with both the literature data and our own experimental results. During the analysis of muscle model behavior, depending on the data source for model tuning, we observed distinct frequencies characterized by a sine-type pattern and a higher frequency marked by stochastic perturbations.

Conclusions

The proposed model can be customized to simulate systems of varying sizes, levels of maximum voluntary contraction, and the effects of perturbations, closely resembling real-world data. The presented approach can be applied to simulate the behaviour of the musculoskeletal system as well as of individual muscles.
Effect of slope in an immersive virtual environment on segmental asymmetry in people with femoral amputation and a microprocessor knee
Authors: Pantera Eric , Denys Victor , Pradon Didier
Published: February 2024

Purpose

The continued development of microprocessor-based knee prostheses has improved the independence of people with a femoral amputation in many environments. This study aimed to describe the effect of slopes on kinematic joint variables and segmental asymmetry.

Methods

Ten individuals with transfemoral amputation fitted with microprocessor-controlled knees performed 5 sessions of treadmill walking at their preferred speed in an immersive virtual environment in 5 incline conditions (Level, 3° and 6° Uphill, and 3° and 6° Downhill). The Human Body Model was used to quantify kinematic joint variables from motion capture system data. The perimeter-to-area method was used to determine the symmetry ratio of the trajectory of the leg segments in the sagittal plane

Results

There was a significant effect of the Uphill conditions on step length and width on the intact side and on all kinematic joint variables on both sides, although the changes differed according to the phase of the gait cycle. The segmental symmetry index was significantly modified in all slope conditions compared with Level.

Conclusions

Kinematic joint variables are affected by slopes; the effect was greater for the Uphill than Downhill conditions compared with the Level condition. The perimeter-to-area symmetry ratio differed from the Level condition for all slope conditions. These results indicate that, although microprocessor knees improve the autonomy of prosthesis users, work is required to improve their capacity of adaptation to varied terrain to reduce kinematic asymmetry.
Predictors of Criminal Involvement by Teenagers Living in Informal Settlement in Nairobi, Kenya: A Case Study of Kibera Slum
Authors: Ouma Benny Otieno , Wa Teresia Ndikaru
Published: February 2024

Crime is a multifaceted phenomenon caused by a myriad of factors, including social, economic, and psychological factors. This study examined the predictors of criminal behaviour among teenagers in Kibera, Nairobi, Kenya. Kibera is the largest slums in Africa and is characterized by high poverty levels, high crime rates, unemployment rates, and limited access to basic amenities. The prevalence of crime in Kibera slum is marked by theft as the most reported crime and has drawn many teenagers into engaging in illegality as a way of earning a living. Notably, understanding these socio-economic and individual factors that contribute to teenage delinquency in Kibera is instructive in developing effective intervention and prevention strategies. This study was based on two objectives: examining the socio-economic factors and the individual-level factors that influence the adoption of criminal behaviour amongst teenagers in the Kibera slum. The strain theory was used to understand the relationship between the socio-economic and individual-level factors in the Kibera teenagers' context and the adoption of criminogenic behaviour. The case study design was adopted in which data was collected and analysed using qualitative methods. The data was collected from 19 participants, including teenagers, teachers, parents, guardians, and local administration officers. The sample was generated using purposive and snow-balling sampling with the questionnaire and focus group discussion used to collect the data. The study concluded that socio-economic factors influencing criminal behaviour amongst teenagers included access to education, economic instability, family dysfunction, peer pressure, community support, and school policies, while the individual-level factors included mental health issues, genetic variations, and prenatal and perinatal factors. The study recommended the establishment and implementation of programs to cater to economic impoverishment, educational access, role modelling, and mental health issues as necessary for tackling criminality amongst the teenagers in the Kibera slum

Published: February 2024

What barriers and opportunities did low-income consumers face in shopping at farmers markets during COVID-19? To answer this question, we observed purchasing practices in Sonoma and Marin counties in Northern California, organized focus groups, and analyzed data from CalFresh and Market Match, which are public programs to support food access. We found that expanded federal food benefits during the pandemic increased financial access to farmers markets for low-income consumers, resulting in increased CalFresh and Market Match sales. While some consumers perceived outdoor shopping as safer, others were unsure whether farmers markets were strictly following pandemic precautions. Further, broader changes to shopping practices as a result of the pandemic indirectly impacted consumers’ interest in shopping at farmers markets. To make farmers markets more accessible now and in preparation for future disasters, we recommend increasing awareness of farmers markets among low-income communities, strengthening public nutrition benefits that can be used at farmers markets, and linking public and nonprofit organizations that promote access to healthy food with farmers markets.

O presente artigo analisa as práticas pedagógicas de professores do curso de Licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas do Instituto Federal Goiano Campus Ceres - GO com o intuito de identificar as possibilidades e os limites didático-pedagógicos quanto à efetivação da educação inclusiva, da prática e do respeito à diversidade.  A pesquisa é de abordagem qualitativa, descritiva, realizada através de pesquisa bibliográfica, juntamente com o método de observação não participante, durante o mês de março de 2019. Os resultados apontam que, para analisar o processo de inclusão na educação, faz-se necessário o entendimento do conceito de educação inclusiva por todos os agentes de ensino, de maneira a sistematizar o fluxo de ações que permitam a recepção desse alunado nas classes regulares. Além disso, observou-se que os docentes precisam de planejamento para desenvolverem práticas pedagógicas adequadas à educação inclusiva, com estímulo à interação e outras ações que promovam a aprendizagem dos alunos com Necessidades Educacionais Especiais (NEE). Destaca-se, também, a necessidade de formação específica aos professores, de acordo com a perspectiva  inclusiva.
Diferença, Inclusão e Questões da Educação: por um olhar com Cuidado
Authors: Mercado Karen , Monteiro Paulo Rosa
Published: February 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo trazer à discussão o capacitismo, a diferença, a inclusão e a formação de professores. O capacitismo é entendido como uma forma de discriminação que considera as pessoas com deficiência como pessoas inferiores, incapazes de trabalhar, de produzir, de amar, de desejar e ser desejadas. Pretende-se, também, chamar a atenção para o fato de que, na sociedade do século XXI, ainda persiste a atitude que classifica as pessoas pela binaridade normal-anormal, o que nos leva a reproduzir ações discriminatórias, com ou sem intenção, mesmo em práticas cotidianas. A metodologia é qualitativa de postura fenomenológica e foi utilizado o estudo exploratório como método. Como convite à reflexão se faz uma breve introdução ao cuidado, considerado em uma perspectiva heideggeriana, como uma possível abordagem para a formação de professores, abrindo possibilidades para dialogar sobre e com a inclusão na sala de aula.

Neste artigo fazemos uma descrição comentada do projeto do Congresso Pedagógico do Pará de 1900, enfatizando anseios e temáticas propostas por um grupo de experts, materializadas nas normativas regimentais do referido congresso. O foco central era estabelecer uma instância normativa composta por um programa de reuniões formativas fixas no estado do Pará, a fim de debater temas relacionados à educação, apropriação de informações e soluções de problemas, com encaminhamentos a serem concretizados nos processos de ensino, com base nas tendências educacionais que circulavam no cenário nacional ou internacional entre os anos de 1895 e 1900. A partir de uma pesquisa historiográfica em fontes documentais primárias como jornais, documentos públicos e revistas pedagógicas publicadas na época, realizamos uma descrição analítica que apontou intenções expressas no regimento do congresso, com fins de atender anseios e temáticas atuais que visavam a transformação da educação pública nos primeiros anos do século XX, no contexto do sistema educacional do Pará.
Das questões que atravessam a formação continuada de professores da educação básica: vazios, repetições e resistências situadas
Authors: Ferreira da Silva Gilberto
Published: February 2024

Partindo do pressuposto que a produção do conhecimento no âmbito educativo só faz sentido quando ela gera possibilidade de qualificação do que se faz e com o objetivo de qualificar a vida, em última instância, parte-se em busca de produzir uma análise que, explora, em um primeiro momento, estudos que privilegiaram a construção de primeiras sínteses sobre a problemática da formação continuada de professores na última década, entendido aqui como estudos de revisão de literatura. A ideia de nominar estes estudos de revisão como primeiras sínteses está longe de se situar na perspectiva de uma metanarrativa pretensamente unificadora de um conhecimento, mas sim, de reconhecer o esforço de pesquisadores, que ao buscar articular, desde uma pergunta primeira, um grupo de estudos, acaba permitindo uma visão de conjunto. Ampara-se em observações ao longo de duas décadas dedicadas a estudar, pesquisar e experimentar modos de fazerpensarfazer a formação continuada de professores da educação básica. Uma das constatações é o pouco uso dos resultados de estudos de revisão de literatura, seja pelos professores da educação básica e gestores públicos, seja ainda pelos próprios pesquisadores, ainda que reconhecido, mas muito aquém do que a produção pode possibilitar.

Published: February 2024

Este estudo explora reflexões sobre a contemporaneidade moldada pelos impactos da COVID-19, resultando na perda de milhões de vidas globalmente, e uma breve abordagem da Gripe Espanhola visando auxiliar no entendimento da atualidade. A pesquisa adotou uma abordagem qualitativa, caracterizada como exploratória, fundamentada em um levantamento bibliográfico realizado entre novembro e dezembro de 2021, com atualização em dezembro de 2023. Durante esse intervalo, analisamos extensivamente materiais nacionais e internacionais, consultando fontes renomadas como a biblioteca SciELO, o Google Acadêmico e o site da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS). A investigação percorreu um caminho que abordou as causas e sintomas da doença, estratégias de contenção do contágio e, simultaneamente, a presença marcante de fake news originadas de movimentos negacionistas. Essa realidade nos aproximou de tendências obscurantistas e de um período incerto, reminiscente de momentos históricos passados. Ao realizar uma retrospectiva e estudos comparativos com a Gripe Espanhola, observou-se semelhanças marcantes, como o descaso por parte das autoridades competentes e a propagação de fake news e negacionismo. Figuras históricas, como Carlos Chagas e Oswaldo Cruz, referências na ciência até hoje, não conseguiram conter a onda anticiência do início do século XX. Para compreender esse movimento, analisamos quatro fake news disseminadas nas mídias sociais digitais, buscando identificar suas contradições e inverdades à luz da Ciência. O propósito deste estudo é valorizar os avanços científicos, promover a divulgação de pesquisas e orientar para a preservação e o respeito à vida de todas as pessoas. Nestes cenários de pandemia, a ciência se destaca como farol, e a conscientização sobre suas contribuições torna-se vital para a construção de um futuro mais saudável e resiliente.

New insights into space activities regulation: ab origine to contemporary
Authors: MARINICH Volodymyr , MYKLUSH Maryna , HOLUB Svitlana
Published: February 2024

The research presents new perceptions on the process of regulating space activities based on a synthesis of innovative approaches to regulating such activities and analysis of documents adopted by the international community in this area over the entire period of development of space activities. First of all, the research raises the issue of the format of the existing Space Law (including the form of Conventionalis stipulatio) as well as the question of the possibility of the emergence in the future of several new legal systems to regulate space activities. In this regard, the list of subjects and objects of space activities and space law is revised, and options for their classification and new interpretations are proposed. In addition, at this stage of the research, a proposal is presented for applying a new approach to organizing the legal space of the Universe taking into account the principles of “domestic room” and “alien room”. At the same time, this proposal also includes the use of new methods to determine the spatial-territorial jurisdiction of States. Thus, instead of searching for the border between airspace and outer space (which has not yet been successful), the question of the possibility of dividing the entire aerospace into several special layers is considered, namely, a layer of spatial security of States, a layer of spatial security of humanity, and open space. Additionally, the research emphasizes the gradual formation in 1958 – 1963 of the first four most important General Principles for Space Activities, which in the future may become the basis for the development of Outer Space Public Law aimed at the benefit of all humanity. According to the author, the findings of this research can be useful to form a new insight into the process of regulating space activities and develop new forms and types of Space Law that will change the international situation in this area for the better.
Modeling of effective management of logistics supply of an industrial enterprise
Authors: MERKULOV Mykola , METIL Tetiana , SHYRIAIEVA Liudmyla
Published: February 2024

Introduction. The economy and industry, which show a tendency to grow even in wartime, will require improved logistics and improved infrastructure. The implementation of such measures is based on scientifically based solutions in the effective management of high-tech (HT) production within the logistics management of integrated supply chains.
The purpose of the paper is to determine an effective approach to inventory management at a high-tech industrial enterprise within the framework of developing a scientifically based inventory management strategy using the analysis of existing models.
Results. The paper presents an analysis of the main models of operational inventory management of a high-tech enterprise: a single-product statistical model with deterministic demand, a model in the case of accounting for unsatisfied requirements, a model of inventory management based on random demand, a model in the case of loss of unsatisfied requirements, a model of a production system with periodic checks in case of random demand. It is emphasized that inventory management consists in establishing the moments and volumes of the order for their occupancy and distribution along the chains of the supply subsystem within the framework of strategic management. There is an orientation towards cost minimization. The whole inventory management process is imagined as a component of the supply-production-marketing system, which is managed on the basis of a complex logistics approach.Accounting for the features of each subsystem - supply, production, sales, as well as optimal management of resources, is based on cost minimization and leads to high-quality satisfaction of demand for ready-made innovative products with sufficient economic effect.
Conclusion. Inventory management consists in establishing the moments and volumes of the order for their filling and distribution among the links of the supply subsystem. The listed inventory management models are intended for practical use, others are of interest because they allow you to understand the essence and identify the main properties of the inventory management system. Accounting for the specifics of each subsystem (supply, production, sales), as well as competent management of their resources, flows (financial, material, information), based on cost minimization, ultimately leads to the main goal of the IT of an industrial enterprise - high-quality satisfaction of demand for finished products with maximum economic effect.
Manifestaciones Cutáneas Asociadas a la Severidad por Covid-19: Revisión Teórica
Authors: Merizalde Medina Carmen Elizabeth
Published: February 2024

Introducción: A partir de la aparición del COVID-19, se han reconocido diversos síntomas que se vinculan mayormente a la parte respiratoria adicionalmente también se ha documentado su relación a nivel dermatológico. Objetivo: Realizar una revisión de tipo teórica en la cual se expongan las principales manifestaciones cutáneas presentes en los casos de Covid-19 y cuál es su papel en la severidad de estos pacientes. Metodología: Se utilizaron los siguientes buscadores médicos: Pubmed, Hindawi, Science Direct, Google académico, con las palabras claves que se citan a continuación: “manifestaciones cutáneas”, “lesiones cutáneas”, “COVID-19”, “SARS-CoV-2”, “Severidad”, “Mortalidad”, “Gravedad”, adicionando los conectores Boleanos “And” y “OR”. Resultados: Las manifestaciones cutáneas que resaltan son: erupción urticaria, erupción eritematosa / maculopapular / morbiliforme confluente, exantema papulovesicular, patrón acral similar al sabañón, livedo reticularis / patrón similar a racemosa y patrón purpúrico “vasculítico”. Hasta la fecha el papel de las manifestaciones cutáneas en la evolución de los casos de COVID-19 sigue siendo controversial, es importante que estas se evalúen de forma precoz en la emergencia cuando consulta el paciente, así como durante la hospitalización, ya que se ha demostrado una asociación entre la evolución de ciertas manifestaciones cutáneas y la severidad del cuadro clínico de la infección viral. Conclusiones: Faltan estudios para corroborar estos hallazgos, ya que los que se han realizado no han contado con muestras representativas y además con metodologías heterogéneas entre sí que no permiten reportarlo como un resultado concluyente.
Análisis de Calidad y Precisión de Contenidos para la Formación en Administración Utilizando Herramientas de Inteligencia Artificial Generativa un Estudio Exploratorio

La inteligencia artificial generativa ofrece posibilidades de optimizar actividades e innovar en las tareas operativas de una organización. En el campo educativo puede emplearse para potenciar el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje a través de su uso eficiente. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la calidad y precisión del contenido generado por herramientas de inteligencia artificial generativa con los argumentos científicos publicados por investigadores para comprender la capacidad crítica e interpretativa de las herramientas. Mediante una metodología de autorreflexión se exploraron tres herramientas generadoras de textos: ChatGPT, Bard y Bing Chat a fin de reflexionar sobre la calidad y eficiencia de contenidos orientados al ejercicio docente en el campo formativo en administración en tres bloques: 1) Formación en administración, 2) Estrategias pedagógicas, 3) Actividades de investigación. Las tres herramientas mostraron su capacidad para emular respuestas humanas de forma sorprendente, sin embargo, la información generada carece de detalles y perspectivas técnicas que respalden un contenido más sólido en las respuestas. También se identificó que los argumentos generados por las herramientas son de gran utilidad para orientar el empleo de metodologías de gestión en las didácticas formativas en administración, por lo que se dedujo que la combinación de esas perspectivas y el respaldo de la literatura científica fortalece la fundamentación teórica y práctica de la información. Esta inteligencia tiene el potencial de convertirse en una valiosa herramienta para transmitir y comprender la información, pero no debe reemplazar la creatividad, el trabajo intelectual y crítico de los actores académicos.
Cultural and Historical Aspects of Russian Education
Authors:   Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Andreev Artem A.
Published: February 2024

The study of cultural and historical educational models that have developed in the world culture in different time periods is relevant for understanding the problems and prospects of modern Russian education. Among these are traditional and scientific models. These educational models developed under the influence of the main cultural spheres (science, religion, art, politics), socio-historical features and national character of the States in which they arose. Thus, each model is unique in the cultural sense and specific methodology. Culture and civilization play a significant role in education. In a situation of growing cultural and civilizational contradictions of each model that exhibits stability and may be easily adapted to new socio-cultural conditions. Modern Russian educational system is in the process of formation yet thanks to its historical and spiritual experience it has retained the ability to generate effective educational methods and methods of solving emerging problems. Today, due to the need of modernizing education, its ideological and conceptual foundations are often revised. There are also attempts to copy the western model of education, which creates additional problems of socio-cultural and methodological nature. In this context, it is important to provide cultural analysis of cultural and historical models of education, allowing, in the most complete and general form, to carry out the value and ideological assessment of the changes in modern Russian education.
To the Concept of “Cultural Code” in the Russian-Belarusian Humanitarian Discourse
Authors:   State Scientific Institution Center of Studies of Belarusian Culture, Language and Literature of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Duktava Liubou G.
Published: February 2024

The paper discusses the features of using the concepts of “cultural code”, “linguacultural code” in the studies of Belarusian and Russian authors. It is important to note that many researchers, referring to the concept of a cultural code, take into account the approaches proposed by R. Bart and Y. Lotman. According to R. Barth, the cultural code is considered as a whole, a “macro image”, a matrix of national worldview and self-consciousness. However, there are a number of classifications of cultural codes. According to Y. Lotman, cultural codes may form a system. The paper presents systems of V. Telia, V. Maslova, M. Pimenova, V. Krasnykh, S. Sanko and others. In different studies, there are from four to several dozen types of cultural codes: anthropomorphic, animalistic (zoomorphic, animal, zoological), temporal (temporal, calendar-chronological), gastronomic (food), subject, spatial (physical-geographical, landscape-topographic), vegetable (vegetative, phytomorphic, botanical), somatic (bodily), theomorphic (divine), color (colorful), value (spiritual), etc. As the author points out the studies on the functioning of certain cultural codes in literary, media discourses, art, as well as the use of methods of complex and comparative analysis in linguistics, literary criticism, and art criticism are highly relevant.

The purpose of this writing is to provide a real picture of community food security against inflation, in this case the chili plant. The research method used by the author is to use a survey method where the condition of chili prices in traditional markets is the object of study. Inflation is a situation where the purchasing power of a community The country experienced a decline because the country's currency exchange rate was declared to have decreased. This happened because of several things, one of which was because the prices of goods and services continued to increase because demand was higher than supply. If this is not anticipated, the country will experience a financial deficit because it has to balance price balance. Food sources are a need for every living creature, in this case food humans who have culture and tastes consume food according to tradition and culture. Chilli is one of the products. with a characteristic spicy taste that almost every human being is looking for in complementary food products, demand and supply greatly influence prices, certain product ingredients are needed by many people but the products are limited, so there will be an increase in prices. Problem: Can inflation be controlled with resilience? One of the food sources is the cultivation of chili products.
Studi Karakteristik Propagasi Akustik Bawah Air di Selat Makassar dengan Menggunakan Software Monterey – Miami Parabolic Equation
Authors: Hakim Lukman , Pranowo Widodo S. , Adrianto Dian
Published: February 2024

Indonesia merupakan negara kepulauan yang memiliki lebih dari 17.000 pulau. Diantara pulau-pulau tersebut terdapat banyak selat penting bahkan empat diantaranya merupakan selat (choke point) terpenting di dunia, salah satunya adalah Selat Makassar. Sebagai selat penting Indonesia harus memiliki kontrol terhadap selat tersebut. Dalam aspek kemiliteran salah satu kontrol yang harus dimiliki adalah kontrol terhadap kapal selam asing yang mencoba masuk ke wilayah indonesia secara ilegal melalui Selat Makassar antara lain dengan memasang alat deteksi bawah air di perairan tersebut. Untuk mendukung hal tersebut perlu dilakukan penelitian terkait karakteristik propagasi akustik di perairan itu dengan melakukan pemodelan akustik. Salah satu pemodelan propagasi akustik adalah metode parabolic equation  dengan perangkat lunak MMPE. MMPE merupakan suatu software  hasil pengembangan dari The Shallow Water Acoustic Modeling 1999 yang menguji kemampuan berbagai model propagasi gelombang akustik, dengan memberikan suatu gangguan yang mendekati kondisi aslinya dengan menggunakan persamaan parabolik yang diturunkan dari metode Split Step Fourier (SSF) yang solusinya mempunyai kestabilan dan tingkat akurasi yang cukup tinggi. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan data kecepatan suara pada stasiun penelitian CTD di Selat Makassar bagian utara di mana pada bagian tersebut merupakan bagian tersempit di Selat Makassar. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mengambil data kecepatan suara yang akan dijadikan input masukan program MMPE. Selanjutnya pemodelan dilakukan dengan membuat dua simulasi propagasi akustik dengan sumber suara diletakkan pada sisi P. kalimantan dan yang kedua dari sisi P. Sulawesi. Dari hasil pemodelan yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan sumber akustik pada sisi P. Kalimantan menunjukkan bahwa masih terdapat daerah bayangan propagasi suara (shadow zone) yang cukup besar, demikian halnya pada simulasi yang menempatkan sumber suara pada sisi P. Sulawesi. Hal ini dimungkinkan karena jarak yang relatif jauh sehingga propagasi akustik mengalami penurunan intensitas suara yang besar.

This study aims to analyze the effect of competence, time budget pressure and professional  attitudes  of  Inspectorate  auditors  on  audit  quality  with  role  conflict  as  a moderating  variable.  The  population  in  this  study  were  all  functional  auditors  who worked  in  the  Banten  Province  Regional  Inspectorate  which  consisted  of  62  auditors. The sampling technique in this study was to use the census method. This technique was chosen because the researcher has a consideration that the total number of auditors at the Inspectorate  of  Banten  Province  is  still  relatively  small  and  can  be  used  as  a  sample entirely.  The  data  analysis  method  uses  descriptive  analysis  and  multiple  linear regression.  Based  on  the  results  of  this  study  indicate  that  competence,  time  budget pressure and professional attitudes of auditors have a positive effect on audit quality. In addition, role conflict is unable to moderate the relationship between competence, time budget pressure and professional attitudes of auditors with audit quality

Our settlements are under constant threat, struggling to keep up with a changing world, a world with everchanging demands, both from our citizens and our ideals of what a successful settlement should be. Specifically, geo-political forces and factors including migration, war and civil unrest, pandemics and the throes of climate change have come to affect human settlements in multiple ways. Professor Greg Clark (Future Cities and New Industries, HSBC), explains, “In the recent past, we thought a successful city was a city with a major cluster of office jobs in the centre, suburban housing on the fringes, and an attractive set of amenities, facilities, services and public space” (Goodman, 2023). However, the priorities of citizens and town and regional planners are changing, we are setting a new standard for our settlements, expecting more from it, for this living organism to deliver more, be more...

Condensed volatiles within lunar permanently shadowed regions are of high scientific and resource utilization importance. Volatiles remain elusive and difficult to observe directly, due to low direct solar illumination. In this work, we investigate correlations between, as well as possible effects of, condensed volatiles and surface roughness. We analyze topographic roughness at 50 m and 30–120 m baselines of the lunar south pole (poleward of 85° S). We focus on six south polar craters of interest and their directly surrounding non-cold-trap areas: Faustini, Shoemaker, Haworth, Cabeus, Nobile, and an unnamed region. We further analyze six analogous equatorial craters to investigate the non-ice smoothing contributions: Morozov F, Rosenberger C, Van Maanen, Fraunhofer E, Brisbane, and Asclepi. Lastly, we compare a sunlit and a permanently shaded portion of the Amundsen crater floor. Utilizing data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter’s Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA), Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP), Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, and Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment, we find subdued roughness within cold traps but determine that roughness is not a unique identifier of condensed volatiles. However, a correlation between LOLA roughness, LAMP normalized Off-band/On-band albedo, temperature, and water-ice stability suggests possible terrain softening due to condensed volatiles, although we cannot rule out dust ponding and/or fairy castle structure contributions. We conclude that LAMP volatile signatures at the topmost ∼100 nm may be indicative of volatile deposits at depths beyond the LAMP sensing capabilities.
Studies on chevron crickets: Tryposoma gen. nov. (Orthoptera, Anostostomatidae), a new genus from Tanzania
Authors: Cadena-Castañeda Oscar J. , Hemp Claudia
Published: February 2024

A new genus, Tryposomagen. nov., is introduced to accommodate two African anostostomatid species formerly classified under the genus Libanasa Walker (Tryposoma kilomeni (Hemp & Johns) comb. nov. and Tryposoma brachyurum (Karny) comb. nov.). This taxonomic revision includes a key of the species. Detailed discussions on the genital structure of the newly described genus are also provided.
Potential applications of biosurfactants in animal production and meat research

Muscle foods are perishable products that are subject to several contaminations such as microbial and/or chemical (lipid and protein oxidation) alterations, which result in their deterioration and quality loss. Several processing strategies are used to preserve and improve the stability, shelf-life and quality of meat and meat products, from which natural preservative agents are gaining interest from both industrials and consumers as green and eco-friendly strategies. Among these natural preservatives, biosurfactants are emerging molecules. Their natural origin and biodegradability make them appealing for use in the food industry. In meat research, biosurfactants are of great interest as antimicrobial and antioxidant agents to reduce meat spoilage and wastage as well as for improving the shelf-life of the products. We aimed to discuss the potential applications of biosurfactants with a focus on their antimicrobial and antioxidant activity within the objectives of reducing meat quality deterioration and improving the image quality (acceptability by consumers) of meat and meat products. Additionally, further perspectives under the context of practical applications of biosurfactants in meat emulsification have been discussed, serving as a reference to feed knowledge gaps in this emerging topic of research. Further studies and evaluations of biosurfactants in meat research are needed to establish more evidence of their potential benefits, applicability and feasibility at a larger scale.
Soft closure spaces via soft ideals

Published: February 2024

This paper was devoted to defining new soft closure operators via soft relations and soft ideals, and consequently new soft topologies. The resulting space is a soft ideal approximation. Many of the well known topological concepts were given in the soft set-topology. Particularly, it introduced the notations of soft accumulation points, soft continuous functions, soft separation axioms, and soft connectedness. Counterexamples were introduced to interpret the right implications. Also, a practical application of the new soft approximations was explained by an example of a real-life problem.
Hankel determinants, Fekete-Szegö inequality, and estimates of initial coefficients for certain subclasses of analytic functions
Authors: Hu Wenzheng , Deng Jian
Published: February 2024

In this paper, we define new subclasses of analytic functions related to a modified sigmoid function and analytic univalent function. Then, we attempt to investigate the upper bounds of the third and fourth Hankel determinant in the special case. Further, bound on third Hankel determinant of its inverse function is also investigated. In addition, we attempt to obtain the Fekete-Szegö inequality for the classes. Then, we estimate the bounds of initial coefficients for the function belongs to some kind of new subclasses when its inverse function also belongs to these new subclasses.
Avec la série The Expanse, penser l’expérience du corps face aux images
Authors: Bron Jean-Albert
Published: February 2024

On s’appuie sur une observation précise de la série de SF The Expanse, diffusée de 2015 à 2022, pour mesurer l’impact, sur la construction des identités psychique et physique du spectateur, des processus émotionnel et cognitif qu’il engage dans son expérience des images. Si la série lui propose sous des formes spécifiques de revivre le rapport déterminant que les environnements sociaux et anthropologiques entretiennent avec son propre corps, elle le confronte aussi aux risques de dissolution des cadres de l’identité qu’il construit à la charnière de son vécu intime et du groupe auquel il adhère. On s’attache aux modalités d’inscription des corps représentés dans une géographie anthropologique, au processus d’élaboration symbolique et narrative, à la technologie du corps qui s’y déploient. On observe les espaces de fissuration de la force identitaire des personnages, et leur répercussion sur le corps à corps du spectateur et des images. Le mystère de la « protomolécule » en est l’agent et l’écho dans l’espace narratif et mythologique. En s’appuyant entre autres sur les notions et les travaux de Nicole Brenez, Serge Tisseron, Raymond Bellour ou Pierre Legendre, on propose ainsi d’articuler à une théorie de l’expérience cinématographique comme lieu d’élaboration symbolique du corps, construction et déconstruction des technologies du corps, une autre théorie : celle de l’expérience filmique comme mise à l’épreuve de l’identité, à travers une expérience du surgissement du corps primitif, du flux vital des affects qui nous relie à l’indistinction de la première enfance. En prenant en compte l’espace particulier de la série, on montre que le rapport au corps se modifie effectivement – et en cela, les performances sensibles, affectives, biologiques du corps lui-même –, à la mesure de la croyance dans l’image qui fait de l’expérience filmique une forme de rituel magique, moment charnière entre les codes et consignes sociales et la restitution du corps biologique.
