Authors: Viñes Susana Virginia , Torrero Mariana Paula , González Raúl Fernando , Pascuccio Luciano Ángel , Quiroga Pedro María
Published: March 2024

El trabajo estudia la cuenca media y alta del arroyo Las Tunas. Zona que se encuentra comprendida en el partido de Malvinas Argentinas, provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. En general la cuenca se encuentra urbanizada, comprendida por barrios residenciales sub-urbanos y cuyas redes de transito se encuentran pavimentadas parcialmente. El Arroyo Las Tunas escurre en canal principalmente en la zona de estudio a partir del Parque “El Batallón” ubicado en la intersección de la traza del Arroyo y la Ruta Provincial 197. En el cruce aguas abajo con la Ruta Nacional 8 antes de ingresar a la zona de promoción industrial “El Triángulo”, comprendida entre las dos Autopistas, se ha entubado alterando sus condiciones hidráulicas. Es en la zona de la cuenca aguas arriba de la Ruta Nacional N°8 donde se produjeron reiteradas inundaciones con bajas recurrencias y con las consecuencias económicas y sociales asociadas a esta problemática. Es por ello que en el presente trabajo se ha puesto como objetivo encontrar distintas soluciones y compararlas con base en los datos recopilados y en una precisa modelación Hidrológica. Para la modelación se elige el software HEC-HMS que permite conocer la respuesta Hidrológica de la cuenca modelada. Para la primera etapa se usaron mediciones de estaciones meteorológicas cercanas que permiten generar curvas IDF (Intensidad Duración Frecuencia) para el periodo histórico de análisis. A partir de estas curvas se generaron los histogramas y el caudal del arroyo con una recurrencia escogida como de diseño. Finalmente, se brindaron alternativas de soluciones sustentables. Estas se incorporan al modelo para observar las mejoras que generan las mismas para optar por la solución más eficiente desde un punto de vista técnico-económico.
DISRUPSI MENURUT FRANCIS FUKUYAMA DAN IMPLIKASINYA PADA TATANAN SOSIAL
Authors: Pita Roja Williams Flavian
Published: March 2024

Technology is advancing faster than humans can regulate it. All around us, we can see the positive and negative developments brought about by the ever-evolving technology. Experts refer to these modifications as disruptions. This article will examine disruption through the eyes of Francis Fukuyama. Fukuyama, who views disruption from a more complicated social perspective, does not share Christensen's view that it has a positive influence, particularly economically. Fukuyama called this change The Great Disruption. A significant change that led to a significant shift in the social order. Fukuyama breaks it down into three main categories: rising crime or criminality, deteriorating family dynamics, and a growing circle of distrust. To deal with this shift, people must recognize that they are social beings with the ability to organize themselves, which is a return to human nature. In practical terms, social capital and the social order provide two grounds for support. The first is biological support, which comes from the very essence of humanity. The second is human reasoning ability, which comes up with solutions to issues of social collaboration on its own.

Authors: Tanvi Dilip Dongare  , Prof. Jaydeep Chougale  , Dr. Ajay Radke
Published: March 2024

A bridge is a structure that crosses a river, a valley, or a railway to connect one location to another. There are numerous kinds of bridges, including cantilever, cable-stayed, suspension, girder, deck slab, arch, and truss bridges. In any design, starting with a preliminary and detailed survey regarding bridge data, the loads that are primarily taken into account are dead load, live load, wind load, and seismic load. The methodologies that are accepted in software are modelling, material and section properties defined in software, assigning the material properties and section, boundary conditions applied, applied loading, analysis, and design. The software displays displacement, shear force, and moments. Starting with the deck slab, the loading mechanism moves up to the girder or steel truss, pier, and footing. There are various truss types accessible for design, including the K type, Howe, Pratt, and Warren. The review concludes that, while there are numerous materials available for bridge design, using cold-formed steel will lower project costs and FRP material, which will increase stiffness while reducing weight and strain. This review article applies to any study on the design of foot-over bridges, steel truss bridges, girders, and steel-truss bridges, materials suitable for bridges and their properties with experimental studies, software and load knowledge with codes, and additional research on this subject. The conclusion is that the steel truss may be replaced with a girder bridge when the steel truss is made with a tubular section and a Warren-type truss with material changes.

The arrival of the digital era has made almost all the sectors of a country paperless. The Internet is used to grow the business and is also used to ease out the various processes which were earlier considered to be tedious. Most of the banks, financial institutions, government etc. have reduced over the window transactions and emphasize on online transactions. This has aided in keeping a thorough record of various transactions and has improved the efficiency tremendously. Most of the insurance companies are offering policies online and the premium can also be paid without the involvement of any third party in between. This saves time and allows both ends a hassle-free experience. Nowadays, most of the health centres or hospitals have started using the same digital techniques in-order to maintain the records of patients and their health insurance policies. The proposed system focuses on the digitization of the health and insurance sector which will reduce the burden on the patients and make it easy for the various other stakeholders to analyze and process them simultaneously. The analysis will be based on the criterions such as age, gender, hospital, status of remittance advice across various hospitals of various countries in different years etc. With the analysis we aim to identify the strata which meet our criterion i.e. whose remittance advice is rejected.

Seismic Vulnerability of Bijapur’s Historic Architecture
Authors: Manthan Joshi
Published: March 2024

Bijapur (Karnataka, India) in recent times, has been experiencing earthquake tremors frequently. The city and its environs are home to numerous historic buildings which are considered significant in the history of architectural development in the Indian subcontinent. The primary and most visual contribution to the city’s architecture happened in the 16th – 17th century CE under the Adil Shahi Sultanate. This present study focuses on the buildings of that period only. The buildings are more than 300 years old now and have decayed substantially with time. Recent earthquakes in Bijapur pose a serious threat to these structures and this study tries to assess the seismic vulnerability of the same. From the assessment, it is inferred that the sturdy design of arcuated buildings of Bijapur, arch-frame masonry structures without infill walls, slender building elements like tall minarets, and cantilevered elements like cornices collectively make the historic buildings of Bijapur vulnerable to seismic loads. Lack of maintenance, lack of conservation and consolidation initiatives, vandalism, and unplanned development in close vicinity of these edifices also contribute to the same. The method of assessment employed in this study is based on site surveys, physical documentation, condition assessment, and conceptual and non-conceptual literature available on the subject, instead of computation-based techniques of assessment for those methods have their limitation as far as (historic) masonry buildings are concerned.

Authors: Ahmed OMAR Prof. Dr. Dina
Published: March 2024

With governments in developing countries under increasing pressure to deal with corruption, information and communications technology (ICT) has become an important strategic tool and resource. Although the use of ICT in developing countries is not new, using it to deal with corruption poses a challenge. This study reports on the impact of the successful use of ICT in dealing with corruption in a group of developing countries. The results reveal that there are many successful e-government efforts in dealing with corruption, which represent the most important challenge in developing countries in light of the absence and lack of clarity in government work procedures, and the key to dealing with corruption is the presence of clear and complete work procedures. The common basic principles that lead to the success of e-government and methods that have the potential to provide governments in developing countries with a strategy, method and techniques were discussed. Some of their work procedures need to be analyzed before implementing e-government to deal with corruption

BRAIN, MIND AND PHILOSOPHICAL THINKING
Authors: ABBOU Dr. Youssef , BELARBI Dr. Najat
Published: March 2024

This article aims to shed light on the decisive and influential role of the learner’s mental functioning in the process of learning and acquiring the tools of philosophical thinking, which are mainly represented in problematization, conceptialization, and argumention. Philosophical thinking, as a rational and conscious thinking, requires the learner to acquire and employ a set of skills such as: questioning, criticism and argumentation, analysis and synthesis, abstraction and generalization. However, the acquisition and employment of these various skills inevitably depends on his ability to process information; Attention, selection, storage, retrieval, and use. Accordingly, it has become necessary for the philosophy teacher to understand the nature of the learner’s cognitive functioning and mental activity, which the cognitive and emotional dimensions are mixed in a dynamic unit that cannot be separated or divided. Despite the importance of memory systems in the process of processing information, severe emotional pressures, such as anxiety and stress, can paralyze the ability of the memory system and hinder its performance of its functions, which negatively affects the process of learning and acquiring the tools of philosophical thinking and its basic competencies
EXPLORING ASPECTS OF LEXICAL CONVERGENCE AND DIVERGENCE IN SOME TRANSLATIONS OF THE HOLLY QUR’AN
Authors: Ahmed Hassan AHMED Dr. Khalid
Published: March 2024

It is commonly observed that languages all over the world may converge or diverse in their linguistic features such as lexical and semantic perspectives. These are linguistic phenomena that happen in all languages as a resulting consequence of the evolution and development of all human languages on earth. This present study is primarily designed to tackle these aspects of convergence and divergence in some selected translations of the Holly Qur’an. Special consideration will be given to the impact of these aspects of lexical convergence and divergence on the selected translations of the verses of the Holly Qur’an that is to say whether they add or deduce to the semantic value of the selected lexical items. Our initial anticipation is that no selected items of these translations of the meanings of the Holly Qur’an will have the same value of the original Arabic term that is used in the verses of the Holly Qur’an; however, some English Lexical items will have distinct semantic value in explaining the meaning under investigation or interpretation as they have more or less the same semantic import of the Arabic items, i.e. if we take just a simple example of such lexical items such as the word child in English that may either be used to mean a young or a small - aged person, or to mean someone's son or daughter. The latter meaning may give the exact meaning of sons and daughters in some of the verses that will be selected in this study. In such a case we feel that the lexical choice helps in selecting an item of a positive convergence between Arabic and English. The divergence in the lexical items may cause some problems for the translators of the meanings of the Holly Qur’an; therefore, they may depend on additional linguistic features to bridge the gap between the Arabic items and the English ones such as literal translations, the denotative dictionary definitions, or the use of bracketing or foot notes. This study will be a qualitative survey and a content analysis approach whereby some previously related studies together with some selected verses of the Holly Qur’an that will be chosen from “The Noble Qur’an" and "The Glorious Qur'an”. All the important elements of a scientific research such as the Statement of the study, its importance, methodology, discussion, findings and suggestions for further future studies will be tackled in this present study.

Izazovi u razumijevanju raspodjele nadležnosti prema ustavu Bosne i Hercegovine u svjetlu teorije suvereniteta / Challenges in Understanding the Distribution of Competences according to the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Light of the Sovereignty Theory
Authors: Kukuruz Sifet
Published: March 2024

The paper examines the question of exercising jurisdiction based on the Constitution of BiH from 1995. The author points out that the question of competence is very often misunderstood, and the main reason for such an approach is a legally unfounded understanding of the nature of state power, the concept of sovereignty, and the concept of competence itself. The paper emphasizes that all power that can be based on the Constitution of BiH belongs to the State of BiH, and that the distribution of competences between the State of BiH and its entities does not mean the distribution or reduction of state power, but only the distribution of the authority to exercise state power. The exclusive competences of the institutions of BiH significantly exceed the number of competences that are often attributed to the institutions of the state of BiH in legal science and political practice. The author emphasizes that according to the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina there are several categories of exclusive competence of the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and that for a legally valid determination of these competences it is necessary to analyze the entirety of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the General Framework Agreement for the Peace of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Published: March 2024

In this study, a series of soaking experiments were conducted in a simulated marine environment solution to explore the pitting corrosion behavior induced by four types of inclusions in microalloyed steel bars: Al2O3, MnS, Al2O3-(Ti, V, Nb)N, and Al2O3-MnS-(Ti, V, Nb)N. In the early stage of corrosion, due to the high-density lattice distortion zone around the MnS and Al2O3 inclusions, along with the fact that these inclusions are not closely connected with the steel matrix, microcracks can occur leading to the initial corrosion of MnS in the Cl− environment. The corrosion rate of Al2O3 is the second highest after MnS, and clusters of Al2O3 can further accelerate the corrosion rate. The lattice distortion density around (Ti, V, Nb)N precipitates is significantly lower than that around MnS and Al2O3 inclusions. Additionally, (Ti, V, Nb)N is closely connected with the steel matrix without any microvoids. Therefore, (Ti, V, Nb)N is not sufficient to induce pitting corrosion of the matrix. The trend of pitting corrosion induced by the four types of inclusions, Al2O3, MnS, Al2O3-(Ti, V, Nb)N, and Al2O3-MnS-(Ti, V, Nb)N, is as follows: MnS > Al2O3 > Al2O3-MnS-(Ti, V, Nb)N > Al2O3-(Ti, V, Nb)N.
Impact of physical activity on postural stability in pregnant and postpartum women

Published: March 2024

Purpose

Regular physical activity is recommended by the WHO for women in the perinatal period as one of the basic factors determining the physiological course of pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. The study aimed to identify the relationship between regular physical training of pregnant women, carried out in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, and postural stability during the perinatal period.

Methods

58 women in the first trimester of pregnancy took part in the study and were divided into two groups according to their own choice. The exercise group participated in physical training three times a week during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. The non-exercise group did not engage in additional physical activity. All subjects underwent three postural stability tests using a stabilograph.

Results

In assessing posture stability parameters, significant differences were found only in body coordination in the active group of women. The exercise group showed statistically significantly lower values of the stabilogram parameters (better postural stability) obtained postpartum compared to those taken during pregnancy. There were no significant differences between the results taken during pregnancy. In the group of non-exercising women, no significant differences were observed between the second measurement during pregnancy and the measurement made postpartum.

Conclusions

It has been shown that physical activity has a significant impact on improving the coordination of women during pregnancy and postpartum. Women participating in regular physical training were characterised by smaller stabilogram deflections and better postural control compared to the control group.
The Evidence of Biochemical Similarities, Molecular Similarities, Modern (Contemporary) Evidence, and Vestigial Organs are Opposite to Darwin’s Theory
Authors: Ahad Md. Abdul
Published: March 2024

Living organisms are greatly similar at their molecular level, which leads the concept of their common ancestry. But it is not true, as every being is definite at the molecular level of each species. So, according to the current theory, each species is unique in that its base pairs are arranged in different orders and proportions, which vary from all other species. Again, the DNA base-sequence varies as much as between individuals of the same society and also of different societies of human races. Even, each person has a unique “Genetic fingerprint” and DNA molecules which are completely different from one another. So, there are no similarities among different types of species at their molecular levels. Again, there is no evidence that a reproductively isolated species/breed/variety/race evolves either artificially or naturally, which opposes modern (contemporary) evidence. Again, once it is thought that vestigial organs are useless. But today, those are medically regarded as essential ones.
Health Sanitation: Access to Sanitary Facilities of the Indigenous Peoples’ Communities in Southern Philippines

Published: March 2024

This article deals with the health sanitation of the hitherto access to sanitary facilities among the selected indigenous peoples' (IPs) communities in the Southern Philippines. Due to the scanty works that delved on the health sanitation of the IPs, this study is critical since it documents the availability of sanitation facilities in the grassroots and how far the government's efforts have reached in meeting the needs of the said communities. The researchers employed both quantitative and qualitative methods, and this research used triangulation to check and counter-check the reliability of the data.. The study found that though the indigenous communities could access sanitary facilities, these needed to be increased for their availability and maintenance. Due to challenges, these resulted in specific problems in the areas.

Published: March 2024

El estudio de los rollos de música, o rollos de papel perforado con indicaciones musicales, ha sido objeto de estudio y de interés en los últimos años en España. Si bien es cierto que la mayor colección de rollos de música se encuentra en la Biblioteca Nacional de España, han sido diversas las instituciones y organizaciones de todo tipo que han ido sacando a la luz estas singulares colecciones de documentos musicales. Junto con las colecciones de organismos institucionales han aparecido también otras particulares de gran interés. A través de esta aportación señalaremos algunas de las estudiadas, haciendo notar sus singularidades y características.
