Progresividad en frío: el impacto heterogéneo de la inflación sobre la recaudación por IRPF
Authors: Balladares Sofía , García-Miralles Esteban
Published: June 2024

En los últimos años, la recaudación por IRPF ha mostrado un fuerte dinamismo. Una parte de este incremento se debe al crecimiento de las rentas de los hogares, mientras que otra parte se debe al efecto progresividad en frío, que da lugar a un aumento de los tipos medios efectivos cuando los parámetros del IRPF (los tramos y los beneficios fiscales) no se actualizan plenamente con la inflación. En este trabajo se utiliza una herramienta de microsimulación fiscal basada en datos administrativos de los declarantes de este impuesto para estudiar la magnitud del efecto progresividad en frío, su heterogeneidad entre declarantes, sus mecanismos y su impacto sobre la recaudación y sobre los tipos medios efectivos en el período reciente y futuro. Se estima que, en ausencia de actualización de los parámetros fiscales, un incremento homogéneo de la renta de los hogares de un 1 % ocasionaría un incremento de la recaudación de un 1,85 %, en línea con la elasticidad media estimada para los países de la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE). Este efecto es mayor en las rentas medias y medias-altas, y produce un aumento de los tipos efectivos a lo largo de toda la distribución de declarantes, lo que provoca una reducción de la desigualdad de la renta neta. Se estima que en torno a la mitad del incremento de la ratio de IRPF sobre PIB observado entre 2019 y 2023 estaría explicada por el efecto progresividad en frío. A futuro, en ausencia de cambios en los parámetros del impuesto, la ratio de IRPF sobre PIB podría alcanzar el 9 % en 2025, un 29 % superior a su nivel en 2019.
LEXICAL THEMATIC GROUP «FOOD» IN ARABIC LINGUISTIC PICTURE OF THE WORLD
Authors: Халед А.
Published: June 2024

Статья посвящена анализу лексико-тематической группы «Питание», важного сегмента арабской языковой картины мира. Язык рассматривается как знаковая система, хранящая в своих языковых единицах главные морально-этические ценности народа, его традиции, складывавшиеся в течение длительного периода. Языковая картина мира представляет наивный образ, созданный в древности, но постоянно обновляющийся в соответствии с изменяющимися потребностями человека. Подчеркивается, что фразео-логия является важнейшим сегментом языковой картины мира, она формирует языковой пласт, который существует в любом языке в виде готовых устойчивых выражений, образ-ное значение которых укоренено в сознании носителей языка и культуры. Кратко описы-ваются значимость сравнительно-сопоставительного и лингвокультурологического мето-дов в изучении семантики арабской лексики, формирующей эту лексико-тематическую группу. Описываются группы и подгруппы внутри анализируемой ЛТГ.

The article analyses the lexical thematic group “Food” – an important segment of the Arabic linguistic picture of the world. Language is considered as a sign system that stores in its linguistic units the main moral and ethical values of the people and their traditions that have developed over a long period. The linguistic picture of the world represents a naive image created in ancient times but constantly updated according to the changing needs of humanity. It is em-phasized that phraseology is the most significant segment of the linguistic picture of the world, which reflects people's traditions that have developed over a long period. The world contains a linguistic layer that exists in any language in the form of set expressions. These expressions have a figurative meaning that is rooted in the minds of native speakers of the language and culture. The study briefly describes the importance of comparative and linguoculturological methods in the study of the semantics of Arabic vocabulary, which forms the lexical thematic group “Food”. Groups and subgroups within the analyzed LTG are described.

Non-local effects on displacement in cylindrical structures
Authors: Abdallah Zine , Madjid Berrabah Hamza , Bachir Bouderba
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the influence of non-local effects on displacement variations in polar coordinates for clamped-clamped cylinders, assuming material properties vary as a power function of the thickness coordinate. The displacement expression is derived from a solved differential equation, with particular attention given to the impact of fixation mode on displacement. The findings underscore the importance of non-local factors in determining structural behavior and stress the necessity of considering fixation mode when computing integration constants. Nonlocal effects denote interactions and influences that extend beyond locally observed conditions or alterations within a specific system. Examining clamped-clamped cylinders, this research delves into displacement variations in polar coordinates while considering the influence of non-local effects, assuming material properties change according to a power function of the thickness coordinate. The derivation of the displacement expression from a solved differential equation forms a key aspect, with a specific focus on how fixation mode affects displacement. The study's outcomes highlight the crucial role of non-local factors in shaping structural behavior and underscore the imperative of accounting for fixation mode when calculating integration constants. Focused on clamped-clamped cylinders, this study explores displacement variations in polar coordinates under the influence of non-local effects, presuming material properties to follow a power function of the thickness coordinate. Utilizing a solved differential equation, the investigation derives the displacement expression and scrutinizes how fixation mode impacts displacement. The results elucidate the pivotal significance of non-local factors in delineating structural behavior and stress the requisite consideration of fixation mode in integration constant calculations.

A variação da qualidade da água em um sistema de aproveitamento de água de chuva depende da concentração de poluentes na superfície de captação e diversos outros fatores que contribuem diretamente para caracterização desta propriedade. Para tornar esta água própria para uso é necessário compreender a dinâmica do seu ciclo e as características pluviométricas das diferentes estações do ano, que influenciam no acúmulo de poluentes. Essa concentração é alterada conforme o volume da precipitação efetiva durante um evento pluviométrico e a relação entre a concentração de poluentes e este volume é representada pelas curvas M(V). A diluição dos poluentes atmosféricos apresenta dispersão temporal, de modo que influenciam na ocorrência do fenômeno first flush. Este trabalho tem como objetivo verificar a influência da sazonalidade na remoção de poluentes em 67 eventos pluviométricos entre 2013 e 2018 através das amostras de um sistema de águas pluviais instalado no Instituto de Aplicação Fernando Rodrigues da Silveira da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (CAp-UERJ), localizado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro – RJ. A metodologia aplicada neste estudo consiste na análise dos parâmetros turbidez e sólidos totais dissolvidos em dois pontos específicos do sistema: first flush (FF) e reservatório (RR), verificando a relação entre vazão e massa relativa acumulada de poluentes. Os resultados obtidos das curvas M(V) indicaram a ocorrência da primeira carga de lavagem ou first flush nas diferentes estações do ano, evidenciando o verão com o período de maior intensidade na remoção da concentração de cargas poluidoras e apresentando as características encontradas nas demais estações que permitem a análise consistente desses períodos.
Epistemic Adultification: Clarifying the Pernicious Work of Black Girls as “Prematurely Knowing”
Authors: Spencer Ayanna De'Vante
Published: June 2024

In this essay, I conceptualize epistemic adultification as an important feature of adultification bias against Black girls in the United States. This socio-epistemic dimension of adultification is a pernicious move by adults to paint Black girls, negatively or positively, as “prematurely knowing” and thus “less innocent and more adultlike than their white peers.” Adult attribution of “prematurely knowing” is a socio-epistemic assessment of children and/or teenagers as knowing beyond an elusive conception of “age-appropriate, innocent knowledge.” I analyze two common contemporary mythologies of a “prematurely knowing Black girl”: the myth of the “fast” Black girl and the myth of the “violent, sassy Black girl” here. Ultimately, I argue that epistemic adultification plays a significant role in whether and how adults punish children and teenagers who “know better” or “should have known better,” a key part of the widespread adultification bias phenomenon. Black girl children and teenagers are experts on their own experiences and uniquely positioned to develop luminous standpoints within concurrent interlocking systems of oppression. They do not, however, possess a distinct “adultlike knowingness.”

Published: June 2024

Amidst increasing awareness of environmental and social issues, businesses worldwide are increasingly recognizing the importance of adopting sustainable business strategies. Green finance has become a popular approach among companies to integrate financial aspects with sustainable environmental goals. This research aims to investigate in-depth the opportunities and challenges associated with green finance practices for business organizations. The study is a literature review with a qualitative approach, utilizing descriptive analysis. Data for this research were obtained through a search of articles on Google Scholar spanning from 2014 to 2024. The study findings indicate that in an era where environmental awareness is on the rise, green finance practices are becoming increasingly crucial for companies looking to adopt sustainable business strategies. Green finance enables companies to integrate environmental values into investment decisions and fund allocation, creating incentives for more environmentally efficient business practices, and helping to mitigate environmental risks that may disrupt long-term operations. However, the implementation of green finance faces several challenges, including lack of understanding and awareness, complexity in measuring environmental impact, initial costs and economies of scale, limitations in data and measurement methods, as well as resource and internal capacity constraints. To address these challenges, cross-sector collaboration among private, government, and financial institutions is key.

Pembebasan Kaum Perempuan dalam Tradisi Pendidikan Islam: Analisis Historis dan Kontemporer
Authors: Amali Subhi Amali , Suhartini Andewi
Published: June 2024

This research explores complex issues related to Islamic education, social transformation, and gender inequality in society. The method used in this study is the literature review method, which is data collection by identifying relevant literature and then analyzed. The results of this research found that Islamic education not only contains religious aspects, but also reflects long socio-cultural dynamics. Problems such as slavery, colonialism, and power hegemony also influenced the complexity of Islamic education, with acculturation of values extending to various parts of the world. In addition, various views on the backwardness of women from the Structural Functionalism school to Marxist and Socialist feminism provide diverse insights. The importance of critical reflection on the values and practices of Islamic education is also highlighted in creating an inclusive society that supports gender equality. Although the concept of equality between women and men exists in Islam, social reality often does not reflect it, with strict social restrictions, especially regarding the role of women in society. However, views such as those expressed by Mernissi and Islamic historians show that women have equal rights and potential, prompting the need for a review of religious interpretations to create a more inclusive understanding and support gender equality.

THE ARAB POLITICS OF IRAQ DURING THE BAATH PARTY RULE: BETWEEN THEORY AND PRACTICE
Authors: Baghirova Aida
Published: June 2024

The paper analyzes one of the priority aspects of Iraq's foreign policy during the reign of the Ba’ath Party (1968-2003), relations with Arab countries. This policy was elevated to the rank of the most important state strategy and was given a special role in the scale of foreign policy priorities. It was allocated to an exceptional part of state politics, called “Arab politics”, “al-siyasa al-arabiyya”. The research examines the basic ideological and theoretical principles of Ba’athism, which formed the basis of “Arab politics” and on the basis of which the ruling Baath of Iraq built its relations with Arab countries. In this vein, it considers the fundamental principle of Ba'athism, the idea of "Arab unity", which constituted the first element of the party's slogan "Unity, freedom, socialism" and within the framework of which, at certain stages, Ba'ath sought to closely interact with Arab countries. Analyzing official documents, the author concludes that on the issue of Arab unity, Iraq could only unite with those countries that had political systems identical to it. Based on this logic, it becomes clear that among the Arab countries with which Iraq shared common ideological and political principles, Syria, as well as one of the centers of Arab nationalism, Egypt could be natural partners of Iraq within the framework of integration processes in the Arab world. In addition, these countries were among the countries that Iraq considered as opposing Israel and with which it primarily sought to establish close cooperation, including in the military sphere, to resolve the Palestinian problem. It was noted, however, that the radicalism of official Baghdad on this issue not only placed Iraq in isolation in the Arab world, but also sometimes created obstacles to inter-Arab integration and cooperation. Often in his policies there was a deep gap between the declared principles and their practical implementation. Within the framework of “Arab politics”, the article examines in detail Iraqi-Syrian and Iraqi-Egyptian bilateral relations throughout the entire period of the Baath Party’s rule in Iraq, revealing their most characteristic features and peculiarities.

Authors: Sharma Anita , Singh Mayank , Mittal Garima , Kohli Saurabh
Published: June 2024

Background: The progress in creating novel antibiotics has been lethargic in recent decennium, in spite of the pressing demand. Those on the brink of entering the medical field – final-year undergraduates, interns, and postgraduate residents – represent the forthcoming cohort of antimicrobial prescribers. It is imperative that they possess a comprehensive understanding and a conscientious approach to antibiotic prescription. This is crucial to address antibiotic resistance sagaciously and pave the way for judicious management.

Aims and Objectives: The aims and objectives of the study are to assess understanding and attitudes about antibiotics, resistance, and related factors among undergraduate, intern, and postgraduate medical students.

Materials and Methods: A group of 144 individuals (35 final-year medical students, 72 interns, and 37 resident doctors) completed a pre-validated questionnaire. Data collected included basic antimicrobial information, treatment protocol comprehension, and attitudes toward antimicrobials. Percentages were calculated for categorical data, and Chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis (significance level P < 0.05).

Results: 86.8% correctly identified infections requiring antibiotics; 12.5% mistakenly thought that both viral and bacterial infections needed antibiotics. 93.8% said that antibiotics could be used for treatment and prophylaxis. 94.4% agreed that overuse and misuse cause antibiotic resistance. 31.3% and 62.5% identified macrolides and fluoroquinolones as common for upper respiratory infections and urinary tract infections, respectively, with a P < 0.05. 71.52% knew about infection control programs, and 48.6% were aware of their institute’s antibiotic policy.

Conclusion: Despite strong foundational knowledge about antibiotics, gaps remain. The study’s findings could help set new goals for teaching medical students proper antibiotic knowledge and attitudes toward antibiotic recommendation.

In the last novel of the Parade’s End-series, Last Post (1928), Ford Madox Ford depicts the aftermath of the First World War, and the cataclysmic social, cultural, and material changes it caused, from the perspective of the Tietjens brothers’ rural home in Kent. The novel’s position in the tetralogy has often been questioned, as its setting as well as form differs significantly from the previous three novels. However, as this article will show, the novel also offers Ford’s most substantial examination of the consequences of war. This article looks at the importance of things in Ford’s depiction of post-war reconstruction, arguing that by foregrounding furniture and other domestic objects as a thematic concern, Ford seeks to evade a homogenising narrative of reconciliation and patriotic celebration. The novel participates in a modernist rejection of empirical, objective representation, where things rather than events serve as nodes of reference for the psychological as well as material transformations of the Post-War period.
Predictors of failed same-day discharge in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in a Canadian universal healthcare system
Authors: Uy Michael , Alrumaih Abdullah , Fuda Matthew , Cassim Raees , Milllan Braden , Shayegan Bobby
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Same-day discharge (SDD) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been shown to be feasible and safe. In order to improve uptake of this ambulatory model in Canada, we aimed to update our experience of SDD after RARP and identify reasons for SDD pathway non-initiation and failure in a universal healthcare system.
Methods: A review of our prospectively collected database of patients undergoing RARP at a Canadian tertiary academic center from May 2021 to May 2023 was conducted. Binary logistic regression analysis determined predictors SDD pathway non-initiation and failure.
Results: We identified 387 patients, of which 198 were initiated on the SDD pathway. Of those initiated, 104 (51.7 %) were successfully discharged home on the same day. Patients who travelled distances greater than 100 km, or who had non-CPAP compliant obstructive sleep apnea were significantly less likely to be initiated on the SDD pathway (both p<0.05). Patients that were scheduled to be the second case or later, had an estimated blood loss ≥300 mL, or had a postoperative abdominal drain, were predictive of failing SDD after initiation (all p<0.05). There were similar rates of readmissions, unscheduled office visits, and emergency department presentations, when compared to the traditional in-patient model (all p>0.05).
Conclusions: SDD after RARP in a Canadian healthcare system remains feasible and safe for selected patients. Predictors of failed SDD identified in this study inform the development of future ambulatory protocols and highlight areas of need in infrastructure to increase uptake of these outpatient pathways.

Conceptual Framework and Intervention Principles of Psychological Resilience
Authors: Wu Qingxing
Published: June 2024

To improve the operationalization and targeting of interventions, psychological resilience requires a integrated explanatory framework as well as clear intervention principles which fit specific cultural contexts. The study outlines four waves of psychological resilience research, arguing that psychological resilience is both an ability to cope with adversity that all people have and a process of immunization, rebound and growth with distinct individual characteristics and different ecological levels that can be unified in a multi-level, multi-dimensional framework. Psychological resilience interventions should follow the principles of individualization, localization, multisystem integration, developmental appropriateness, and evidence-based practice.

The Development of China-Pakistan Diplomatic Relations
Authors: Zhao Jing , Guo Yaling
Published: June 2024

The conditions of China and Pakistan are different, but the friendly relationship has lasted for more than 70 years, which has enlightening significance for international relations in the world. Since the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries on May 21, 1951, the development of relations between two countries can be divided into four stages: the first stage,known as the "adaptation stage", is in the 1950s.The exchanges between the two sides were mostly ceremonial and non-governmental.In the second stage, from the 1960s to the 1980s, China-Pakistan relations showed two characteristics: frequent high-level visits between the two countries and mutual support on international issues, which means China-Pakistan relations entered a "stable development". The third  is in the 1990s, the "tested and sustained development stage", when the world situation has undergone drastic changes, and the friendly and cooperative relations between China and Pakistan have withstood the test and continued to develop. In the fourth stage, China-Pakistan relations have entered the "comprehensive stage in the new century", and the "all-weather" strategic cooperative partnership has been further strengthened and deepened.

Study on Leveraging Digital Tools for Enhancing Employee Engagement in Remote Work Settings
Authors:   NIMS UNIVERSITY RAJASTHAN JAIPUR, Asmi Mittal
Published: June 2024

The global workforce has witnessed a transformative shift towards remote work arrangements, accelerated by advancements in digital technology and the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This paradigm shift has necessitated a reevaluation of traditional workplace dynamics and a greater emphasis on leveraging digital tools to facilitate remote work. With the traditional office setting no longer the norm, organizations are increasingly turning to virtual collaboration platforms, communication tools, and digital solutions to enable remote work. The rise of remote work presents both opportunities and challenges for organizations. On one hand, it offers employees greater flexibility, reduces overhead costs associated with maintaining physical office spaces, and enables access to a wider talent pool. On the other hand, remote work can lead to feelings of isolation, communication barriers, and challenges in maintaining employee engagement and productivity. Employee engagement is not just about satisfaction with the job; it's about fostering a deep connection at the emotional between employees and their work and the organization they belong to. It encompasses enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment towards organizational goals, reflecting a sense of purpose and belonging within the company. As the modern workplace undergoes a seismic shift towards remote work arrangements, maintaining and nurturing this emotional connection poses a significant challenge. Remote work offers undeniable benefits, including flexibility and cost advantages, yet it also introduces unique hurdles to sustaining employee engagement. One such challenge is the preservation of a strong team spirit across geographically dispersed members. Without the physical proximity of a traditional office, communication can become fragmented, hindering team cohesion and leaving individuals feeling isolated and uninformed. Moreover, the absence of face-to-face interactions can obscure recognition of accomplishments, leading to diminished morale and motivation among remote workers. However, the digital landscape provides an array of tools to address these challenges and cultivate a thriving remote team environment.

With rapidly declining environmental conditions in the urban scenario, the current times demand for not just grey interventions, but more focus on nature based solutions for overcoming the fate of the modern times. Studies show major Indian cities are rapidly losing green cover in the current decade, which must be arrested with efficient approaches. This is extremely important for maintaining resilience in the urban setting. Cities should be resilient to protect its ecology and residents from the aftermath of major disasters. This resilience can be built by a functioning integrated layout of nature based interventions interlinked with planning. This paper is focused on understanding blue green infrastructure, its approaches, how it has been used in various projects in the country and the world to solve certain relevant environmental issues related to the context. The understanding has been tried to be achieved by studying relevant researches and implemented projects. The studies discuss about a range of aspects like geospatial analysis to achieve a network of blue green infrastructure, identifying various service demands and conducting land suitability assessment, identifying the stakeholders involved and on-ground implementation strategies, involvement of the community and the public spaces availability. Thus finally, the research is aimed towards getting an in-depth understanding and in the near future implementing this understanding towards successful integration into a thesis in a selected site context.

Brushless direct current (BLDC) motors are mostly preferred for dynamic applications such as automotive industries, pumping industries, and rolling industries. It is predicted that by 2030, BLDC motors will become mainstream of power transmission in industries replacing traditional induction motors. Though the BLDC motors are gaining interest in industrial and commercial applications, the future of BLDC motors faces indispensable concerns and open research challenges. Considering the case of reliability and durability, the BLDC motor fails to yield improved fault tolerance capability, reduced electromagnetic interference, reduced acoustic noise, reduced flux ripple, and reduced torque ripple. To address these issues, closed-loop vector control is a promising methodology for BLDC motors. In the literature survey of the past five years, limited surveys were conducted on BLDC motor controllers and designing. Moreover, vital problems such as comparison between existing vector control schemes, fault tolerance control improvement, reduction in electromagnetic interference in BLDC motor controller, and other issues are not addressed. This encourages the author in conducting this survey of addressing the critical challenges of BLDC motors. Furthermore, comprehensive study on various advanced controls of BLDC motors such as fault tolerance control, Electromagnetic interference reduction, field orientation control (FOC), direct torque control (DTC), current shaping, input voltage control, intelligent control, drive-inverter topology, and its principle of operation in reducing torque ripples are discussed in detail. This paper also discusses BLDC motor history, types of BLDC motor, BLDC motor structure, Mathematical modeling of BLDC and BLDC motor standards for various applications. Key Words: Brushless direct current, industries, direct torque control.
A Smart IoT Solution for Monitoring and Predicting Grocery Freshness and Quality
Authors:   St Joseph Engineering College, Mangaluru, Shri1 K Aarya
Published: June 2024

According to the statistics,40% of the food produced is wasted before it reaches the consumers. The core problem lies in logistics and infrastructure. Firstly weather varies widely and it makes generalization difficult. This makes it impossible for perishables to naturally survive long-haul transport. Secondly, cold storage facility is not available and affordable to all farmers. Today food spoilage is a crucial problem. The food we consume can affect in any form of contamination that may occur due to storage or chemical changes within the food. This makes it necessary to develop a system that can help people to identify and predict the freshness of food or quality of food items. A smart grocery management system helps users manage groceries in large warehouses and long transportations. Users no longer have to worry about continuous food monitoring. This project aims to ensure the freshness of grocery by predicting the spoilage of grocery in prior and to notify the user about the same so that he can take necessary precautions to prevent grocery spoilage. Continuous analysis of temperature and humidity of the grocery is carried out by using DHT11 Temperature and Humidity sensor to monitor varying parameters of the grocery. ESP8266 Node MCU is used as the main controller of the system which is used to control the sensing action of the sensor. Data collected from the sensor is used to analyse the variations in the values of temperature and humidity when the grocery is fresh and when it is completely spoilt. The humidity and temperature data are sent to the cloud storage by using the Wi-Fi module which is inbuilt to the Node MCU. ThingSpeak cloud platform is set up for the storage purpose which is retrieved back to use it for predicting the spoilage of the grocery which is the main goal of the system. A prediction algorithm is used for this purpose which is basically a combination of machine learning and data mining approach for forecasting or predicting the future values based on some past set of values. The values of fresh grocery has been given as the input to prediction algorithm which is used to predict the future values of temperature and humidity. Predicted values obtained is compared with the spoilt values measured earlier to detect the spoilage of grocery. Predicted status of the grocery has been notified to the user through SMS.
