Myctophids, commonly known as lanternfish, play a pivotal role in the oceanic food web and are one of the most unexploited fishery resources. In this regard, the present study has been carried out to utilize myctophids as an aquafeed ingredient by subjecting them to an ensilaging process. Two myctophid fishes, N. microchir and D. watasei mixed in a 1:1 ratio (w/w) were subjected to formic acid mediated ensilaging. Biochemical changes were studied during the ensilaging process of 10 days, with sampling on every alternative day. The degree of hydrolysis (DH) increased throughout the ensilaging process, with the values ranging from 24.1% (0th day) to 59.45% (10th day). The increase in DH indicated the accelerated autolysis process by the formic acid addition. An increase in non- protein nitrogen content during the ensilaging process was found to be significant, and it indicates the hydrolysis of protein. Though the peroxide value has increased during the storage period, the values were within the acceptable range. Aquafeed prepared from the resultant silage by mixing with rice bran in a ratio of 2:1 (w/w) was found to have an increased protein content of 35.33%, suggesting that it can be a potential alternative for the protein source in fish feeds.

Published: August 2024

El objetivo principal de este artículo es indagar cómo las remesas y la recaudación tributaria influyen en la generación del VAB de la provincia de Manabí. Para ello, se emplea una metodología de investigación cuantitativa, utilizando un enfoque estadístico-descriptivo y el análisis causal por medio de un modelo econométrico de regresión lineal múltiple a partir de Stock y Watson (2012). Los datos estadísticos utilizados provienen de las Cuentas Nacionales Regionales del Banco Central del Ecuador y del Sistema de Rentas Internas (SRI) en una línea temporal del 2007 al 2022. Los resultados revelan que el VAB en la provincia Manabí ha tenido una fase de crecimiento constante entre 2007 y 2017 y una segunda fase de decrecimiento hasta 2022; además, existe concentración de la estructura productiva en pocos cantones y ramas de actividad. En cuanto al resultado econométrico, cambios en las remesas tienen un efecto negativo en el VAB y la recaudación tributaria genera un efecto positivo en su evolución. El poder explicativo del modelo señala un coeficiente de determinación R2 de 76,6% cumpliendo con los supuestos de correcta especificación, normalidad en los residuos, homocedasticidad y multicolinealidad.

Published: August 2024

La importancia estratégica de las e-tool basadas en IoT desde el punto de vista de la seguridad y salud laboral radica en su aporte para la identificación de condiciones de riesgos laborales a partir de la gestión de la información de los entornos de trabajo y sus factores ambientales, en consonancia con los lineamientos de la OMS y normativas internacionales. La metodología para el desarrollo de un prototipo incluye la exploración del protocolo de comunicación, el diseño de una arquitectura integral (hardware y software), la implementación y pruebas de funcionalidad. Con la ayuda del método ágil XP (Extreme Programming) se desarrolló el front-end (interfaz del usuario) de la aplicación utilizando Flutter. Para la transmisión de datos se emplea CoAP por su eficiencia en redes inalámbricas y su capacidad para manejar comunicaciones asincrónicas; se obtuvieron mediciones ambientales de la temperatura, iluminación, calidad del aire, altitud, presión y humedad mediante sensores electrónicos conectados a la PCB del microcontrolador ATmega32U4 y en la interfaz de interconexión inalámbrica se utilizó un microcontrolador expressif como un hotspot wifi. Con Node JS se configura el back-end (interfaz de programación) del sistema empleando dos servidores, el primero para la recepción de datos desde el prototipo mediante el CoAP, y para alimentar a la aplicación con información se desarrolló un servidor de recursos. Después de un periodo de operación en distintas áreas, se pudieron comparar los datos obtenidos con los niveles recomendados en la salud ocupacional.

Published: August 2024

El objetivo de la investigación fue abordar interrogantes relacionados con la predisposición biológica del ser humano para delinquir y el impacto del modelo legal en el comportamiento criminal. El estudio de caso responde a un proceso metodológico amparado en el método inductivo, con un enfoque cualitativo que permitió comparar el caso de la ciudadana de Pifo que ha sido catalogada como asesina serial; basada en fuentes bibliográficas que considera la psicopatología en crímenes fatales desde una perspectiva biológica y psicológica. En el proceso comparativo se analizó el funcionamiento del sistema penitenciario ecuatoriano y su función rehabilitadora con sentenciados en crímenes violentos, que, si bien no todos están identificados como el anterior, podrían estar asociados con patologías psicóticas similares. Lo que posteriormente conllevó a interpretar las cifras del INEC sobre los sentenciados por crímenes de homicidio intencional entre el 2018 al 2020. Lo mencionado permitió describir el comportamiento de los aspectos estudiados y su posible relación con los mecanismos adoptados por el sistema de rehabilitación que sugiere el país mediante mecanismos coercitivos. Dejando de lado el padecimiento mental que limita las facultades de consciencia plena para respetar y precautelar la vida propia y de otros. Siendo necesario plantear una estrategia de diagnóstico, seguimiento y tratamiento, es decir un modelo que supere el castigo y muestre empatía para rehabilitarlos en la medida que sea posible.

Authors: Ariza Andrea
Published: August 2024

En el año 2023, frente a la mirada escéptica de una porción del arco político, Javier Milei se consagró presidente de Argentina. El flamante presidente inició su carrera mediática hacia el año 2016 con su participación en el programa Animales sueltos en el que su presencia histriónica causó gran protagonismo y lo convirtió en un fenómeno televisivo que se trasladó a las redes sociales. Su crítica a la casta política, observada como la responsable de la situación de crisis del país, fue ganando cada vez mayor cantidad de seguidores. Milei utilizó esta crítica a la casta para presentarse a sí mismo como outsider y realizar un llamado a los argentinos de bien para que lo acompañaran en la modificación del rumbo nacional. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la narrativa electoral de Javier Milei en los spots oficiales, enfocándonos en la forma en que se presentó a sí mismo, construyó su adversario y lo denominó «casta» y le habló a un tipo de ciudadano conformado por los «argentinos de bien». La intención es profundizar, a partir de los mensajes electorales desplegados, las características que se confiere a sí mismo, los significados que le otorga a la casta y la forma en la que modela a su ciudadano ideal. La metodología de análisis será cualitativa y descriptiva y consistirá en el análisis de contenido de sus spots electorales entre agosto y noviembre de 2023.

Published: August 2024

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder that can cause infertility. This experimental study was conducted to elucidate the role of adiponectin signaling in rats with PCOS treated with exenatide. Twenty-eight adult female Wistar rats were divided into four groups of seven. The normal group did not receive any drug. The PCOS+vehicle (Veh) group received estradiol valerate to induce PCOS, then was divided into PCOS +E50 and PCOS+E100 groups and treated with 50 or 100 mg/kg doses of exenatide, respectively. The mRNA expression of adiponectin and adiponectin receptor 1 (Adipo-R1) was evaluated using a semi-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The results indicated that the level of adiponectin diminished in the PCOS rats while exenatide increased adiponectin expression at both doses. Adiponectin receptor mRNA levels were higher in the PCOS rats than in the normal rats (p<0.05). In addition, exenatide decreased the levels of Adipo-R1 expression. Taken together, our results showed that exenatide may improve PCOS characteristics in rats through the molecular regulation of adiponectin and its receptor.

THE PAGAN FOUNDATIONS OF A REPUBLICAN TRADITION IN ROME AND ITS INFLUENCES ON MACHIAVELLIAN THOUGHT
Authors: Cerqueira Marcone Costa
Published: August 2024

In this article we will seek to discuss the ways in which the Roman people forged their origins, establishing the foundations of their republican tradition from a pagan influence from peoples of antiquity, centrally Etruscans and Greeks; as well as the way Machiavelli resumed this tradition in his writings. Our itinerary will constitute a first demonstration of the influences received by the Roman people of great civilizations that preceded them, both in power and splendor and culture, namely Etruscans and Greeks. These influences can be detected in political, moral, religious, military and architectural aspects. The second step will be to present the foundations of the republican tradition of classical Rome, mainly through its political and moral foundations, putting the traits that gave it their identity, as well as the possible unfolding of the influences received. Finally, we will point out how the pagan aspects, inherited by the Romans of the people who preceded them, were assimilated by Machiavelli in their resumption of a republicanism with pre-Christian bases.

Este artigo parte da premissa de que a busca por um padrão de correção na forma de um arranjo institucional que estabilize expectativas constitui o Direito como patologia social. Argumenta-se que o fundamento da anomia resultante dessa busca se constitui na epistemologia formalista que facilita a recusa da reserva institucional e põe em risco o modo de vida democrático. Como resposta a esse perigo, propõe-se entender o Direito como uma questão ética, e não como um dilema moral. Isso implica uma compreensão da Justiça como regra constitutiva da vida social que constitui o modo de vida democrático. Essa compreensão da Justiça recorre à definição clássica na qual Platão converte a Dike tradicional dos gregos em Dikaiosyne e sua adequação conceitual com o entendimento da neurociência moderna sobre a consciência humana por Antonio Damásio.

Published: August 2024

Este artigo apresenta uma discussão a respeito das estratégias dialógico-discursivas para o início da graduação - uma proposta de letramento acadêmico em uma disciplina curricular do curso de Filosofia: leitura e escrita. Esse campo disciplinar considerado como prática sociocultural, quando inserido no contexto universitário, vai além do simples desenvolvimento de habilidades linguísticas, tornando-se uma experiência integrada na construção do conhecimento e na conexão crítica com o mundo. Na esfera universitária, a leitura e escrita de textos demandam habilidades específicas, como a compreensão do discurso alheio, análise crítica, síntese de informações e construção de argumentos fundamentados, além da percepção das nuances das citações. Além disso, a capacidade de compreender e produzir textos fora do ambiente acadêmico é essencial para uma participação eficaz na sociedade, sendo crucial em várias áreas da vida profissional, pessoal e sociocultural.

A RAZÃO NEOLIBERAL E OS DANOS SOCIAIS ESTATAIS-CORPORATIVOS:
Authors: Ferreira Carolina Costa , Divan Gabriel , França Karine Agatha
Published: August 2024

O presente artigo busca responder de que maneira a necropolítica se interconecta à realidade dos danos sociais provocados por Estados, mercados e grandes corporações, como método de análise para os estudos criminológicos verdes. Para tanto, utilizou-se a metodologia dedutiva, com marco teórico na criminologia verde, desde uma perspectiva sobre os crimes dos poderosos e da teoria do dano social. O objetivo é identificar os entrelaçamentos entre a necropolítica com os estudos criminológicos verdes, especialmente no que diz respeito aos danos ambientais e aos processos de vitimização ambiental ocasionados pelos agentes poderosos, no contexto capitalista global neoliberal. Conclui-se que a produção de danos sociais está diretamente relacionada ao exercício da política da morte, onde atores poderosos empreendem técnicas de justificação e negação de danos que encontram respaldo na racionalidade neoliberal, de modo que a indiferença e a aceitação públicas sobre a morte e exclusão das populações não brancas tornam-se fundamentais para a manutenção do poder e privilégio dos poderosos. A criminologia verde deve estar atenta a essa realidade, por meio de uma aproximação epistemológica à necropolítica e o seu arcabouço conceitual.
Which UX Research method or technique should I take? Assisting software startup professionals in making their choices
Authors: Bianchini Luana de Parolis , Zaina Luciana
Published: August 2024

User Experience (UX) is a field that aids in comprehending the impact of system usage on the user during the product development process. Software startups are entities that deal with cutting-edge products and experience significant growth, even in the face of unpredictability and potential market volatility. UX methods and techniques serve as tools for software start-up professionals to improve their products, establish connections with their customers, and maintain superior software quality. The goal of this paper is to present a thematic map filled with recommendations for the use of approaches, methods, techniques, and tools designed to assist software startup professionals in conducting research with users. We begin by conducting a gray literature review (GLR) on expert websites and blogs to uncover the approaches, methods, techniques, and tools most frequently referenced by industry professionals and their respective objectives. A thematic map was suggested, based on the thematic examination of the GLR findings. We created a web-based catalog named CatUX to facilitate the map’s assessment. We evaluated the catalog’s utilization by professionals from two angles: the use of the catalog and the catalog’s acceptance. The findings indicated that the catalog helped the participants select the most suitable approach, method, technique, and tool for each given scenario.
Some remarks on vector Markov Chains and their applications to the description of many-particle systems
Authors: Carbonaro Bruno , Vitale Federica
Published: August 2024

Although in the literature on the topic, this point is never expressed, but regularly implied, an important and widely studied scheme of models to describe and predict, at least in stochastic terms, the behavior of many-particle systems is based on Markov Chains. In fact, Markov Chains are special stochastic processes with important properties that have revealed to be shared with many natural processes. This fact, though almost obvious, requires to be carefully discussed, at least to point out that the very notion of a Markov Chain must be completed and somehow generalized to understand the way in which Markov Chains intervene in the equations describing the stochastic behavior of any system. This is not a purely critical and “foundational” task but aims to develop a new very plausible and likely way to introduce possible effects of external world on a non-isolated many-particle system. This paper aims to offer at least a basic discussion of this perspective.

In financial mathematics, options are seen as financial transactions that gives the holder the right rather than obligations to buy or sell some specific quantity of an asset in the eminent future at a static price often called the strike price on or before the expiration date of the option contract. In this research work, we examined a typical model in finance, Constant Elasticity of Variance (CEV). Having derived its respective Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs), we obtained the various Martingales and Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) option price valuation formulas. These were done by using the replicating and riskless portfolio methods. Also, we were able to establish the equivalence of the Martingales and the PDEs methods for European put option pricing for the two different SDE models considered in this research. We, then applied the Girsanov theorem, Martingale theorem as well as Feynman-Kac theorem. Results obtained, show that using our approach described in this research work, we can actually prove the equivalence of the two (Martingales and PDEs) methods by first, beginning with the Martingales option price valuation formula and finally arrive at the Black-Scholes parabolic PDEs in converse.
The Employment of Polymerase Chain Reaction in Building Phage Displayed Antibody Libraries
Authors: Zemene Abebe
Published: August 2024

“The power of evolution is revealed through the diversity of life,” says the announcement for the 2018 Nobel Prize in chemistry, George Smith described phage display technology in 1985, and it has since been expanded to include the display of peptides, various recombinant antibody formats, enzymes, and fragmented proteomes. These phage libraries can display a wide range of ligands on coat proteins projecting from the surface of the bacteriophage particle, with the ligand-coat protein fusion encoded using either a phagemid or phage vector system. Most phages have a high affinity for host cell surface receptors, such as receptor binding proteins (RBPs) or lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Recently, a number of real-time PCR assays for the rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of each F-RNA phage genogroup have been developed and RNA is reverse-transcribed into cDNA, used for PCR of the encoded antibodies’ VH and VL chains. The human antibody repertoire evolved to recognize any target with sufficient specificity and affinity that used RT-PCR to amplify the VH and VK and Vλ chains. Antibody phage display is a versatile in vitro selection technology for identifying high-affinity antibodies specific to a wide range of antigens. Low solubility affects the bioavailability, immunogenicity, and effectiveness of mAbs.

The classification of Fourier Transform Infrared spectra images is crucial in chemometrics. This paper proposes an efficient model based on deep learning approaches for enhancement and classification of the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra (FTIR) images. The proposed model integrates three deep learning models including ResNet101, EfficientNetB0, and Wavelet Scattering transform (WST) to extract several features from FTIR. Then the obtained features were fused in conjunction with standard statistical feature extraction. It followed by a subsequent classification phase that employs a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture, which demonstrates high accuracy in classifying the infrared spectra images into six different classes of ligands and their metal complexes. During the training phase, the network’s weights are iteratively updated using the Adam optimization algorithm. This model addresses the challenge of small and imbalanced datasets through an image oversampling process. Using random over-sampling technique, it enhances the training process and overall classification performance. The extracted features were analyzed using t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) to visualize high-dimensional data in two dimensions. The results of the proposed model show high classification accuracy of 0.91%, low error rate of 0.08%, a sensitivity of 0.89% and a precision of 0.89%, false positive rate of 0.01%, F1 score of 0.89, Matthews Correlation Coefficient of 0.87 and Kappa of 0.68.
