Efecto de las condiciones de acondicionamiento y almacenamiento en la calidad y vida útil del arándano (Vaccinium sp.)
Authors: Tirado Kulieva Vicente Amirpasha
Published: November 2024

El arándano (Vaccinium sp.) es considerado un buen alimento debido a sus compuestos antioxidantes que le confieren múltiples beneficios a la salud del consumidor. Sin embargo, es susceptible al deterioro, por lo que se propone evaluar el efecto de las condiciones de acondicionamiento y almacenamiento en la calidad y vida útil del arándano. El método consiste en comparar una muestra a distintas temperaturas (1 ºC, 13,1 ºC y ambiental) y envases (polietileno, polipropileno y sin empaque), además de un experimento adicional para comparar el efecto del corte ½ en la fruta. Los resultados muestran que las mejores condiciones de almacenamiento para mantener la calidad del arándano según el olor, color, sabor, textura y presencia de moho fueron a 13,1ºC y utilizando polietileno. Las diferencias fueron significativas (p<0,05) frente a otros tratamientos, logrando prolongar la vida útil de la fruta hasta 21 días. Respecto a la fruta cortada, esta tuvo la menor vida útil (4 días) debido al daño mecánico al que fue expuesto y por su exposición al medio ambiente.
Exploring Quantum Computing: Potential Applications and Current Challenges in Algorithm Design
Authors: Ahmed Amjed , Hasan Mohammad
Published: November 2024

Quantum supremacy refers to the experimental demonstration that a quantum computing device performs a calculation that no classical computer can match in a reasonable time. Such machines would not be useful for solving problems of practical interest, but they would provide a proof of principle that larger and more useful machines could be built. The gap between classical and quantum computing is potentially enormous, and the apparent ease with which quantum states can be prepared, manipulated, and measured has led many to believe that quantum devices might one day outperform classical hardware at solving a broad range of computational tasks. The most immediate goal of progress in quantum engineering is the construction of a device that passes the proofs of principle of quantum supremacy experiments. They would transform a state that can be initialized neutrally, evolve it under a controlled Hamiltonian, then sample from the output distribution. Such devices must possess sufficient connectivity and low noise but can be cared for by classical software. Their demonstration would mark a historic milestone in the development of quantum technology, providing intrigue and awe but little societal benefit. However, if they can be produced with sufficient fidelity and scale, there is hope that more generally applicable quantum engines might be constructed that could exploit the exponential speedup to outperform classical computers for problems of deep societal importance.
The Role of Blockchain Technology in Enhancing Data Integrity and Transparency Across Industries
Authors: Mohialden Yasmin , Hussien Nadia
Published: November 2024

This technology applies cryptographic and consensus mechanisms that secure communications between participating peers. Each transaction on the blockchain is assigned a timestamp, thus establishing the transaction's historical order and preventing it from being altered. Newer transactions are added to the blockchain only after several participating nodes have approved them. Transactions approved on the same block form a distributed consensus around this block. If such a transaction is modified, the transaction's timestamp would be different from that recorded on the block containing it, and the distributed consensus would no longer hold. The blockchain would increase its size with the addition of subsequent blocks appended to it, making it computationally expensive to modify older transactions. These concerns are further fueled by the potential risk of data leaks or hacks that could occur directly or indirectly through third-party system providers. Many organizations do not fully comprehend how third parties could potentially gain access to sensitive information despite using various cybersecurity methods such as data encryption. Some online platforms contain shared databases that may store data collected by large networks of businesses, which allows them to gain a more thorough profile of an individual. This profiling is alarming consumers and resulting in distrust in how their data is used. There is a growing movement to decide whether personal data should be regarded as personal property instead of a product owned by online platforms. Consumer unrest has resulted in actions such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which attempts to diminish online activity surveillance. Blockchain data is typically stored using linked data structures implemented in computer program language using Applications Programming Interfaces (APIs). A frequently used data structure is a Merkle tree, where a binary tree is used to store the information, creating a binary search tree that allows verifying the information with only a small subset of the data.

Die zivilprozessuale Durchsetzung fremdnütziger Informationsrechte in der Aktiengesellschaft
Authors: Pietsch Janine
Published: November 2024

If supervisory bodies in German stock corporations (AG) – e.g. supervisory board, auditors or special auditors – assert information rights, this primarily serves to fulfil a superordinate task. It is sometimes deduced from this that enforcement through an action for performance is not possible. However, a comprehensive look at the various monitoring mechanisms shows that double standards are applied in this respect. This study develops a consistent system for the enforcement of information rights that are beneficial to others within stock corporations. It demonstrates that there is no need to recognize “rights beneficial to others” as a separate category alongside own and third-party rights. At the same time, the book contributes to the doctrine of organ disputes.
Existenz und Geltung des Rechts
Authors: Poscher Ralf
Published: November 2024

Validity is considered to be the specific form of existence of law. However, norms obviously also exist when they are not yet valid but are already the subject of legislative proceedings, or in judicial trials in which their lack of validity is first established. The disentanglement of the existence and validity of law offers the key to a redefinition of both the concepts of validity and existence. This redefinition then allows the relationships between the existence, validity, effectiveness and legitimacy of the law to be systematically reorganised. This also opens up a new perspective on the concept of law itself.

The highest level of alcohol consumption in education is among students. One of the factors causing the increase in alcohol consumption behavior and the rise in crime cases due to alcohol consumption is a lack of religiosity. Religiosity as the internalization of religious values related to belief in religious teachings. These beliefs are then actualized in human behavior. This research is included in the type of qualitative research with a case study approach. The conceptual boundaries of this research are religiosity, teenagers aged 18 - 21 years, and subjects who live in Village "X". The subjects in this research were teenagers who were alcoholics, both male and female, totaling 5 subjects. In this research, nonprobability sampling technique was used with purposive sampling. Subjects have a level of belief in God, religion and sin in their religion. Having high intentions can influence the subject's level of commitment to carrying out ritualistic activities. Subject knowledge regarding religious knowledge is fulfilled through developing digital media. Subjects' feelings towards ritual activities and their experiences of consuming alcohol vary. subject, no one mentioned behaving well because they were motivated by the teachings of their religion. All subjects felt comfortable with the circle of friends that the subjects were now living in. Factors that influence individuals to consume alcohol are environmental factors and the individual's own desires.

Authors: Jeffy Maulidi Feriyanto  , Ari Sriantini  , Dedy Kristiawan
Published: November 2024

Cargo pumps are very important in the unloading process, especially crude palm oil cargo on tankers. In order for the cargo unloading process to run smoothly, a strategy is needed in the use of cargo pumps. This study aims to find out the factors that cause damage to cargo pumps and the strategy of using cargo pumps so that the process of dismantling crude palm oil in MT Koan can run smoothly. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with data collection techniques through observation and interviews. The results showed that cargo pump 1 operated better than cargo pump 2, with 77% of the operating time. Damage to the cargo pump is caused by leaks in the mechanical seal and clogging of dirt. Routine maintenance on cargo pump 1 is more frequent than cargo pump 2. The cargo temperature of crude palm oil is relatively low ranging from 39-40°C and there is a decrease in temperature at one observation point which causes the texture of the cargo to become very thick, thus interfering with the performance of the cargo pump. Based on the results of data analysis of the results of observations and interviews, it can be concluded that the factors that cause damage to cargo pumps at MT Koan are lack of maintenance, low load temperature and performance differences in both cargo pumps.

Science plays a crucial role in human life as it helps us understand the universe through observation, experimentation, and analysis. In education, science not only teaches scientific concepts but also fosters scientific attitudes and critical thinking skills in students. To make science education more meaningful, interactive, and relevant, a deep understanding of the Nature of Science (NOS) is essential. This study aims to explore the understanding, benefits, and application of scientific concepts in the teaching and learning process to shape students' scientific attitudes. Using a literature review method, this research gathers information from various relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that science encompasses elements of philosophy, sociology, history, and psychology that support scientific understanding. By understanding NOS, students will view science as a process of knowledge discovery, rather than merely a collection of facts. The application of science in education also impacts students' ability to apply knowledge in practical contexts, enhance their analytical skills, and adapt to societal changes.

Office Level Variation in Benefit Duration for Service Users Receiving Work Assessment Allowance: A Norwegian Longitudinal Multilevel Register Study
Authors: Hakvaag Tonje , Knapstad Marit , Tjora Tore
Published: November 2024

Purpose: Long-term work disability is a key predictor of permanent disability and poses a significant challenge to public health, impacting both individuals and society. This study investigates the duration of Work Assessment Allowance (WAA) benefit across seven local Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) offices within a shared housing and labour marked region in Norway (Nord-Jæren). Methods: Using individual-level data covering the period 2015-2019 (n= 8,582), this study examines the association between local NAV office affiliation and WAA duration using generalized linear model regression analysis adjusted for a range of relevant individual level factors. Results: Two of the seven offices, specifically the smallest and largest NAV offices, exhibited significantly longer WAA durations compared to the medium size reference office. Individuals at these offices had 4.10 and 1.52 months longer average WAA duration, respectively, holding all other variables at their means (both p < 0.001). Moreover, the number of activation programs granted were significantly associated with WAA duration (p < 0.001). Conclusion: While residual confounding cannot be rule out, these findings suggest that local NAV offices significantly influence the duration of WAA benefit, and that there are unwarranted variations in service users’ outcomes. By understanding and addressing these variations, policy and practice adjustments can be informed to promote greater efficiency, quality, and equity in public service delivery.

Embodiment and Representation in Digital Mediation
Authors: Braga Joaquim ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: November 2024

The central thesis of this paper is that in digital media the operations and representations of the human body reveal close somatic and aesthetic links with each other, the latter often working as forms of mitigation of the effects of the former. I will argue, therefore, that, in the digital domain, the modes and contents of representation should not be understood without the embodied relations inherent to the use of devices. For this to be feasible, it is essential to formulate a new conception of the materiality of digital interfaces. Instead of being conceived according to traditional epistemological models—entirely detached from the agent’s performance—such materiality will be thought of in close connection with the nature of embodied relations and the interfaces’ technological structures and functions.

Systemic Functional Linguistics and Czech Structuralism
Authors: Kavalir Monika
Published: November 2024

Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), a functionalist linguistic framework developed by Michael Halliday from the 1960s onwards and still highly influential in Australia, China and South America, with strong centres in Europe, owes a great debt to Czech Structuralism. The paper provides an overview of the influences of Czech Structuralism on the development of SFL, in particular its links to the Prague Linguistic Circle and to the later Czech Structuralist-Functionalist tradition, especially the work of František Daneš. These theories contributed to the conceptualization of the central SFL dimensions: structure, system, stratification, instantiation, metafunction; while the implementations of some functionalist ideas in these approaches almost completely coincide, others show divergence on various theoretical and practical points.

Published: November 2024

This research analyzes the return spill-over of green bonds issued among several categories of countries and relation of its return spill-over to various global economic conditions. The research employs a time-varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) methodol-ogy to account for the return spill-over among countries, and wavelet coherence analysis (WCA) for relation between return spill-over and global economic policy uncertainty (GEPU) index. This study utilizes yield data from green bonds issued from January 2014 to February 2024. This period chosen based on the commencement of green bond issuance in several Emerging Market (EM), Frontier Market (FM) and Least Developed Market (LDM). The findings of this research is the green bonds issued from Developed Market (DM) gives bigger return spill-over effect to the green bonds issued from EM, rather than to FM and to LDM. This spill-over effect from DM to EM raises due to the high GEPU Index, which means the more uncertain the global economics policy, investor rather to safe in stable financial instrument such as green bonds issued in DM and EM.
Trends in Malaria Prevalence and Incidence Rates: A Comparative Study of West and East Africa from 2000 to 2024
Authors:   School of Natural and Applied Sciences Kampala International University Uganda, Mwaura F. Maina
Published: November 2024

Malaria remains a major public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, with West and East Africa carrying a significant burden. This comparative study evaluates trends in malaria prevalence and incidence rates from 2000 to 2024, analyzing regional differences shaped by factors such as climate, socioeconomic conditions, healthcare access, and public health interventions. The study identifies progress in both regions due to the widespread adoption of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), indoor residual spraying (IRS), and artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs). However, West Africa faces higher malaria rates, largely influenced by limited healthcare access, insecticide resistance, and socioeconomic disparities. East Africa, particularly in urban areas, has seen more significant reductions in malaria prevalence. Despite advances, challenges like insecticide and antimalarial drug resistance, healthcare accessibility in rural areas, and the need for innovative interventions persist. The study underscores the importance of integrated resistance management, research on new treatments, healthcare system strengthening, and public-private partnerships to sustain progress and move towards malaria elimination in both regions.

Keywords: Malaria trends, prevalence, incidence, West Africa, East Africa, insecticide-treated nets.
- Effect of Progesterone Sequential Therapy on follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2) in Spleen Deficiency-induced Perimenopausal Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
Authors: Li Dapeng
Published: November 2024

AIM: Spleen deficiency (SD)-induced perimenopausal dysfunctional uterine bleeding (PDUB) is a common gynecological disease with various clinical treatment options. The objective of this work was to investigate the clinical effect of female progesterone sequential therapy (FPST) on SD-induced PDUB and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2).
MRTHOD:140 cases of SD-induced PDUB patients were enrolled and randomly rolled into an observation (Obs) group and a control (Ctrl) group, with 70 cases in each. The patients in the Ctrl group were given pure curettage treatment, and those in the Obs group were supplemented with FPST based on the intervention in the Ctrl group.
Result: The therapeutic effects of patients in different groups were compared. The cure rate (CR) and total effective rate (TER) in the Obs group were 84.26% and 97.14%, respectively, which were much higher to those in the Ctrl group (44.29% and 74.29%), showing great differences (P< 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the Obs group and Ctrl group were 4.29% (3/70) and 2.86% (2/70), respectively, exhibiting no great difference (P> 0.05). Additionally, after 3 months of follow-up, the recurrence rate was 1.43% (1/70) in the Obs group, which was much higher to 44.29% (31/70) in the Ctrl group, presenting a remarkable difference with P< 0.05.
Conclusion: In the process of implementing curettage treatment for PDUB, FPST can effectively improve the clinical treatment effect and reduce recurrence rate.

Published: November 2024

We study Discount Window (DW) stigma, the reluctance to access the Federal Reserve’s lender-of-last resort facility, between 2014 and 2024. Despite increased usage since 2020, we find conclusive evidence that the DW is stigmatized, especially among smaller banks and when financial markets experience disruptions. In particular, evidence of DW stigma emerged months before the 2023 banking turmoil and had not subsided a year later. We also identify new determinants and consequences of DW stigma. The implications of these results for the provision of emergency liquidity are discussed.

This study explores the role of social inclusion in enhancing the political participation of marginalized communities in Indonesia. Marginalized groups such as ethnic minorities, indigenous religious communities, and individuals with socio-economic disadvantages often face significant barriers to political engagement. These barriers prevent their full participation in political affairs, limit their representation in decision-making processes, and affect their socio-political well-being. A qualitative approach is used in this research, with in-depth interviews and participatory observation to understand these barriers and their impact on political participation. The findings show that respondents' social inclusion scores vary, with some reporting positive experiences and feeling accepted in their communities, while others continue to experience discrimination and marginalization. Political participation scores also show significant variation, with respondents citing both positive and negative experiences. The study identifies structural and economic barriers, power imbalances, and lack of political representation as major obstacles to political participation. To address these barriers, a multifaceted approach integrating social, economic, and political dimensions of inclusion is needed. Recommendations include strengthening social inclusion programs, increasing access to information and education, enhancing political representation through affirmative policies and leadership training, addressing economic barriers through financial and logistical support, and building alliances and coalitions to advocate for inclusive political agendas. By implementing these strategies, it is hoped that social inclusion and political participation of marginalized communities in Indonesia can be improved. These measures will help create a more inclusive and democratic political environment, where all citizens have a fair opportunity to participate and influence decisions that affect their lives. Collaborative efforts between the government, civil society, and local communities are crucial to achieving this goal.
