Ungdom og entreprenørskap
Authors: Bjorvatn Kjetil , Sekei Linda Helgesson , Mgumia Jacqueline
Published: October 2023

FNs mål for bærekraftig utvikling understreker hvor viktig det er å skape arbeidsplasser for unge mennesker, med et særlig fokus på entreprenørskap som vei ut av fattigdom. I denne artikkelen ser vi på to tilnærminger for å støtte opp om ungt entreprenørskap: et kunnskaps­basert underholdningsprogram og et investeringstilskudd. Vi finner at underholdningsprogrammet inspirerte seerne til å starte egen bedrift, men også at det avsporet dem fra videre utdanning. Investeringstilskuddet skapte nye bedrifter, men de unge bedriftseierne, og særlig kvinnene, møtte en rekke hindringer i arbeidet med å skape lønnsom drift og skjerme fortjenesten fra ytre press.

Fintech er på alles lepper om dagen. Toppledelsen i store finansaktører snakker om fintech, regulatoriske myndigheter snakker om fintech, teknologer snakker om fintech, oppstartsbedrifter snakker om fintech, media snakker om fintech, og her kommer vi med et spesialnummer i Magma om fintech. Men hva er egentlig dette tilsynelatende spennende fenomenet alle ser ut til å snakke om?
Kvinner og toppledelse
Authors: Kunze Astrid
Published: October 2023

Den økonomiske situasjonen har endret seg betydelig siden vi begynte å planlegge dette spesialnummeret om kvinner og toppledelse. COVID-19 og tiltakene som ble satt inn for å hindre smittespredning har vært betydelige. Per i dag er det usikkert både til hvor lenge vi vil se effekten av viruset og de iverksatte tiltakene. Men temaet ulikhet, og kvinner og toppledelse, er ikke blitt mindre aktuelt med krisen.

PEMBUKTIAN RAPAT UMUM PEMEGANG SAHAM SECARA ELEKTRONIK BERDASARKAN KAEDAH VIRLIJDEN DAN WILSVERKLARING
Authors:   Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran, Joesoef Iwan Erar
Published: October 2023

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisa suatu peristiwa Rapat Umum Pemegang Saham (RUPS) yang diadakan secara elektronik. Status hukum atas risalah RUPS elektronik tersebut apakah sebagai perbuatan hukum, perbuatan nyata atau sebagai kenyataan belaka (keadaan) sangat berpengaruh dampaknya sebagai suatu akta (akta otentik). Artinya suatu kenyaataan belaka (keadaan) seperti adanya sebidang tanah yang tergenang air, keadaan kejiwaan seseorang atau keadaan barang rusak saat dikeluarkan dari pembungkusnya, tidak dapat dibuktikan dengan suatu akta (akta otentik). Hasil analisa hukum, peristiwa RUPS yang dilaksanakan secara elektronik dimana para pemegang saham tidak berada dalam satu tempat rapat, akan tetapi hadir berdasarkan media elektronik, masih ada celah hukum bagi para pemegang saham tersebut untuk mengingkari hasil keputusan RUPS elektronik. Penelitian dilakukan secara normatif yuridis dengan mengkaji regulasi, norma-norma dan kaedah-kaedah serta konsep-konsep juga literatur terkait. Kesimpulan penelitian adalah bahwa peristiwa RUPS elektronik masuk kategori suatu kenyataan belaka (keadaan) mengacu kaedah Virlijden (dibuat, dibaca dan ditandatangani semua pihak secara serentak saat itu juga) atas otentisitas akta, sehingga ada celah hukum untuk disangkal oleh peserta rapat. Penelitian dilakukan dengan pendekatan kaedah Virlijden dan kaedah Pernyataan Kehendak (Wilsverklaring) dan juga didukung teori Dekonstruksi bahwa penafsiaran sebuah teks tidak pernah tunggal dan menyimpan potensi penafsiran baru yang tidak terduga. Sebagai suatu perbuatan hukum dari para pemegang saham atas pernyataan kehendaknya tersebut perlu tambahan alat bukti dari para pemegang saham. Para peserta rapat membuat pernyataan secara terpisah untuk diserahkan secara elektronik kepada ketua rapat disamping sidik jari atau tanda tangan elektronik (e-signature) yang diatur dalam undang-undang jabatan notaris.

El problema de la representación (Vorstellung). Su impacto en el inicio de la fenomenología husserliana
Authors: Xolocotzi Yáñez Ángel
Published: October 2023

La irrupción de la fenomenología a inicios del siglo XX con las Investigaciones lógicasde Husserl se comprende cabalmente a partir de los problemas discutidos en la última década del siglo XIX, especialmen- te en la Escuela de Franz Brentano. La tesis de que a toda representación corresponde un objeto, por parte de Brentano, contrasta con lo señalado previamente por Bolzano sobre las representaciones sin objeto. Los tratados husserlianos alrededor de 1894, en particular el texto sobre «objetos intencionales», se insertan en esta discusión que conducirá a planteamientos centrales en torno a la conformación de la fenomenología. El presente artículo muestra una revisión de elementos determinantes en la representación moderna, así como de la postura de Twardowski, para luego diferenciarla en la discusión de la paradoja Bolzano-Brentano y, finalmente, indicar la propuesta husserliana.
A Platonic approach to the business enterprise
Authors: Galindo Fernando , Hurtado Domínguez Rafael
Published: October 2023

It is difficult to define the business enterprise. We offer a philosophical definition within the Platonic tradition. Plato inaugurated the philosophical discipline of ontology in an attempt to understand better the notion of being and the different forms of beings. By its very existence, the business enterprise must belong to some kind of being, and we try to explain to which one and in which way it manifestly does.
¿Relativismo moral en Adam Smith?
Authors: Cordero Becker María Teresa
Published: October 2023

En la Teoría de los Sentimientos Morales (1759), Adam Smith propone una ética fundada en los sentimientos. Esto parece sugerir un relativismo moral, pues los sentimientos, al ser relativos a cada sujeto, no poseen una validez transcultural. Aunque algunos comentaristas de Smith sostienen esa lectura de su ética, en este artículo se sugiere ahondar en los elementos que nos permiten alejar esta teoría de dicha posición. En efecto, a partir de nuestra igual naturaleza psicológica, Smith propone una común estructura formal de juicio que da origen a normas materiales universalmente vinculantes.

An Exploration of how Intimate Partner Relationships Impact the Mental Wellbeing of Men in the Construction Sector in Aotearoa New Zealand: Understanding the Interplay Between Work, Family, and Employee Mental Health
Authors: Ali Mohsin
Published: October 2023

This poster presentation aims to illustrate a comprehensive literature review and methodology used in my study. The main purpose of this study is to explore how intimate partner relationships impact the mental wellbeing of men in the construction sector in Aotearoa New Zealand. The focus of my research is on relationship breakdown, which is a predominant theme preceding suicide by men in the industry (Bryson et al., 2019). Several studies have investigated specific elements of intimate partner relationships associated with suicidality, including intimate partner violence and abuse (Devries et al., 2013; McLaughlin et al., 2012). There is currently no research within Aotearoa New Zealand that has explored the interplay between men’s work, family, and mental health. For this study, I will use qualitative research methodology because I seek to capture the experiences, perceptions and perspectives of construction workers, their intimate partners, and key stakeholders. The underlying theoretical paradigms will be constructivism and interpretivism. Grounded theory will be used to develop a theoretical basis for understanding the different influences on mental health and the role that intimate partner relationships play in workers’ mental wellbeing. Data collection for Study 1 will comprise semi-structured face-to-face interviews (n = ∼ 20) with key stakeholders in the construction sector. Study 2 will comprise 15-20 semi-structured face-to-face interviews with construction workers across a range of occupations, as well as interviews with their intimate partners (30-40 interviews in total). Participants will be recruited through the MATES in construction programme. The interview data will be transcribed verbatim, and NVivo software will be used for data management and coding. It is hoped that this study will contribute to understanding more about the risk factors associated with poor mental health in the construction industry and that it may stimulate action from stakeholders in better supporting the mental wellbeing of its workers including impacting organisational and governmental policies and procedures within the construction sector in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Discipline and Punish: A Study Exploring the Adoption of NPM-Inspired Accounting Reforms in the Provincial Governments in the Solomon Islands
Authors: Oru Marianne
Published: October 2023

This presentation aims to illustrate part of my findings which capture the adoption of New Public Management (NPM)-inspired reforms at the provincial government level in the Solomon Islands. The overall aim of the study was to examine the adoption of two NPM-inspired accounting reforms (cash-based IPSAS – or International Public Sector Accounting Standards – and performance-based budgeting) and a participatory budgeting system in the Solomon Islands. The paucity of attention given to Public Sector Accounting Research (PSAR) in socio-cultural settings in developing countries motivated this study. Drawing on Foucault’s disciplinary power (Foucault, 1977) the study demonstrated how accounting as a ‘calculative infrastructure’ was able to transform the provincial governments in the Solomon Islands. The study applies the interpretive methodology that integrates with a critical theory to interpret the data (Chua, 1986b; Power & Laughlin, 1992). A total of 60 semi-structured interviews were held at both levels of government (national and provincial). Documents were also gathered, including historical data. Thematic analysis was employed and was guided by Foucault’s principles of critical interpretation. The presentation concludes by highlighting how accounting as a ‘calculative infrastructure’ plays an instrumental role in mediating conflict between political groups.  In doing so, the study supports prior calls for an in-depth analysis of neoliberal reforms such as those inspired by the NPM in order to better understand the manifold implications of accounting in a wider social context.
Dental Anxiety: A ‘Twin Burden’ for Patients and Dental Professionals
Authors: Pereire Richard
Published: October 2023

Oral health is integral to general health; yet oral diseases are the most widespread non-communicable diseases affecting almost half the world’s population. Much has been documented on patient dental anxiety; but there is a dearth of literature on how dentists deal with the problem afflicting themselves as well. Dentists, perceived as guardians of oral health therefore, need to remain vigilant to their own health needs. This study will employ a mixed-method research approach. First, I will survey New Zealand dentists on how they identify and manage anxious patients in their clinical practices. The study’s second phase will involve conducting semi-structured interviews (Appukuttan, 2016) with participating dentists to investigate the stress dentists face in treating these anxious patients and then explore their own coping strategies. The study findings could inform the development of evidence-based guidelines and strategies for managing patient anxiety, providing a framework to support dentists. It could also highlight potential areas of improvement in dentist training programmes, thereby strengthening the profession’s ability to handle patient anxiety. Furthermore, it could shed light on practical and beneficial self-care and coping strategies for dentists, potentially leading to a healthier work environment and an enhanced quality of life for dental professionals (Newton et al., 2006). In this presentation I will underscore the reciprocal nature of dental anxiety, revealing it as a problem with a profound two-way impact.
Exploring Island Resilience Through the Lived Experiences of Pacific Islands People Adapting to a Global Disruption: A Comparative Case Study in the Cook Islands and the Kingdom of Tonga
Authors: De Waegh Roxane
Published: October 2023

This research explored the lived experiences and perceptions of Pacific Islands’ people responding and adapting to the significant global disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary aim of this study was to develop a deeper understanding of the social dimensions of resilience from the perspectives of Pacific Islands’ people. While there has been growing interest in these explorations of resilience, no studies to date have explored how Pacific Islands’ communities respond and adapt to a global disruption through the lens of subjective well-being and human agency. This research addressed this using a comparative case study approach to explore the adaptive responses of people in the Cook Islands and the Kingdom of Tonga. This research used an interpretive research paradigm underpinned by a constructivist grounded theory methodology and, due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions, undertook semi-structured interviews with 25 participants in the Cook Islands and 24 participants in Tonga through the use of online video-conferencing technologies (primarily Zoom) facilitated by the development of local research partnerships. The findings indicate that the resilience of Pacific Islands people depends on their capacity to collectively act and forge networks that are simultaneously local and global, enabling the use of traditional and foreign knowledge systems in ways that support the local human capacity that enhances the self-reliance of their island societies amidst a volatile, globalised world. These insights challenge the reductionist, ahistorical, and disempowering framings of small island nations as inherently vulnerable and externally dependent by demonstrating how Pacific Islands people used various forms of situated agency and social capital to increase their bargaining power and support the social-ecological wellbeing of their communities according to their needs, interests, and priorities.
Early Detecting of Infectious Disease Outbreaks: AI Potentials for Public Health Systems
Authors: Rasouli Panah Hamidreza
Published: October 2023

The world is increasingly connected through technology, bringing people closer despite vast distances. However, this has led to urbanization, population growth, and a complex global economy. Climate change is also a consequence of our consumerist lifestyle. These changes have also increased the risk of global outbreaks and pandemics (Haileamlak, 2022). Fortunately, technological advancements offer tools such as digital surveillance, data analytics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help manage such crises. AI models excel at analysing large amounts of data quickly, revealing complex trends and patterns beyond human capability (Aleixo et al., 2022; Sylvestre et al., 2022). The objective of this presentation is to introduce a comprehensive framework integrating AI with the public health system to harness its strong analytical capabilities and support the early detection of infectious diseases. The proposed framework involves data collection from various sources, cloud-based or centralized repository data storing and pre-processing, AI model development, and data analysis, resulting in an effective early warning system to inform public health authorities promptly. Integrating AI into the public health system enhances response efforts and swift tackling of challenges for better health outcomes. However, effectively harnessing AI's potential and integrating it into existing systems presents significant challenges, requiring the retention of technical expertise and a comprehensive understanding of AI functionalities among healthcare professionals. Addressing these obstacles is vital for enhancing public health resilience and effectively responding to future outbreaks, as demonstrated during the recent use of AI in the COVID-19 response.
Exploring Best Practices of the I4.0 Technology Application in the Design Phase of CE Implementation: A Dynamic Capabilities Approach
Authors: Arioka Taichi
Published: October 2023

Over the past decade, the manufacturing industry has been propelled by the Fourth Industrial Revolution (I4.0). This new paradigm has driven companies to convert their factories into intelligent ones by seamlessly integrating digital and physical spaces. To achieve this transformation, various I4.0 technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data Analytics (BDA), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Additive Manufacturing (AM), and Cloud Computing (CC), have been employed. Simultaneously, global interest in sustainability has surged, leading to the advancement of the Circular Economy (CE) as a means to achieve carbon neutrality and resource optimisation at the corporate level. Previous studies have acknowledged the crucial role of I4.0 technologies in realising CE but predominantly focused on some of its specific strategic areas. Notably, extensive attention has been given to "reducing" resource consumption and "recycling" resources, while the area of "rethinking" encompassing product and service design has been understudied despite its profound impacts on the management of resources and processes throughout the subsequent operations. To address this research gap, this study explores how manufacturing companies from New Zealand (NZ) and Japan leverage I4.0 technologies to enhance their dynamic capability in the design phase of CE practices. Drawing on the perspective that product and service design represents a dynamic capability, a qualitative case study approach is designed. By conducting cross-country comparisons between NZ and Japan, this research identifies best practices in leveraging I4.0 technologies during the design phase of CE implementation. The best practices are expected to include supplier involvement in the design phase through IoT, data-driven design through BDA, and precise design specifications through AM. By focusing on the critical aspect, this study will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the application of I4.0 technologies in CE implementation. The findings will also offer valuable insights for companies seeking to effectively embrace CE.
Supporting Oral Health Practitioners’ Role in Child Protection: Current Approaches and Effort
Authors: Han Heuiwon
Published: October 2023

Child protection is an essential aspect of hauora for tamariki and taitamariki, and the role of oral health practitioners in this realm is increasingly recognised. In a unique capacity, oral health practitioners stand at the forefront of identifying orofacial manifestations of maltreatment within the orofacial region, supporting patients and their whanau, and collaborating with an integrated team of diverse disciplines (Han et al., 2022). Regrettably, studies reveal diminished responsiveness among New Zealand's oral health practitioners in child protection matters (Tilvawala et al., 2014), with a noticeable lack of clear guides or strategies to assist them. A scoping review is proceeding to explore international approaches and efforts to support oral health practitioners’ role in child protection. This review employs a systematic approach to identifying and mapping the breadth and depth of evidence in the field, irrespective of the source. The JBI methodology for scoping reviews guides the process (Peters et al., 2020), utilising the PCC (Population – Concept – Context) framework to establish inclusion and exclusion criteria. Any approaches and efforts to address and enhance the responsiveness of oral health practitioners in child protection were included in the review. A three-step search strategy was implemented, the search was conducted across five databases, and further searching of the grey literature was conducted. Two independent reviewers screened a total of 787 sources, and 25 sources were included in the review. Every step was piloted and calibrated to ensure consistency. A piloted data extraction form is used to help synthesise data systematically. The key findings can inform future policy development, practice guidelines, and educational initiatives to enhance the responsiveness and role of oral health practitioners in child protection.

Sino-Foreign Co-Production in the Post-Pandemic Era: Effects of Policies on Facilitating Film Co-Production
Authors: Wang Xinmu
Published: October 2023

At this symposium, I will present my research findings which explore the implications of film co-production policies for practitioners engaged in Sino-foreign co-production projects. The research is guided by the theoretical framework of Richard Peterson's production of culture perspective (2004) and John Thornton Caldwell's production culture (2008). Specifically, my presentation will concentrate on film policies and relevant industry documents that have direct relevance to film practitioners in the Australasian region. The dynamics of government relationships are likely to exert an influence on policy-making processes. New Zealand was the first Oceanic country to sign the Memorandum of Agreement with China on the Maritime Silk Road in early 2017. Since then, it has brought opportunities and challenges for New Zealand film industry practitioners. Six official co-production projects with China have been approved since 2019 (New Zealand Film Commission, 2023). For New Zealand film industry practitioners keen to collaborate with their Chinese counterparts in the post-pandemic era, the Belt and Road Initiative presents an opportunity to seize the advantages of the current times. Therefore, filmmakers in both countries should understand the impact of these policies on the Chinese film industry and Sino-foreign co-productions. This qualitative research collected primary data from semi-structured interviews with film practitioners from New Zealand, Australia, and China, and secondary data from documents, government policies, and reports, as well as publically available online industry interviews. A thematic analysis is conducted to examine the data and answering and exploring one of PhD research questions: what would industry policies and documents mean for film practitioners working in co-productions.  My research finding shows, through acquiring comprehensive knowledge, film industry practitioners can make informed choices and select collaboration methods that align with the needs of their projects, thus avoiding unnecessary complications or challenges.
Untitled Grief: An Application of Heuristic Inquiry
Authors: Hoyle Elizabeth
Published: October 2023

In this presentation I investigate the methods and tools enmeshed in the creation of the  short hybrid animated documentary Untitled Grief (Hoyle, 2023). Untitled Grief is one film of a suite of films which are being produced for a practice-led doctoral study (Smith & Dean, 2009). The films seek to document and visualise the human phenomena of loss in order to answer the question: How might a documentary filmmaker heighten resonance in narratives of grief through the use of animated images and sound? The project is underpinned by heuristic inquiry (Moustakas, 1990). Heuristic inquiry bolsters my examination of loss through tapping into autobiographical narratives as a way to uncover meaning while sustaining the focused search to expand the investigation. Potential is released to reveal universal significance of the phenomenon being explored. This type of inquiry is flexible, open and immersive. Tacit knowledge (Polanyi, 1967) is extracted and utilised. The researcher is guided by phases beginning with a focused initial encounter with the topic or question. Heuristic inquiry suggests a system of phases which guides the researcher throughout the research path. As an adaptation to this methodology and being led by practice, a series of principles of engagement have emerged; embracing uncertainty as a tool for creativity; utilising serendipity as a structured occurrence, emboldening the researcher’s poetic self; returning to indwelling with creative projects; aroha (love, respect, empathy) at the core of research practice.
Inclusive Learning through Immersive Virtual Reality and Semantic Embodied Conversational Agent: A case study in children with autism
Authors: Alvarado Yoselie , Guerrero Roberto , Serón Francisco
Published: October 2023

Sustainable Development Goal 4 from the United Nations 2030 Agenda, focus on ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. Inclusive education is a key component of sustainable development goal 4, and assistive technology is a critical factor in achieving it. In this context, this paper introduces the development of an immersive virtual reality system with conversational skills for inclusive learning processes. The idea of this work is to provide an assistive technology to motivate, educate, and train students with disabilities in a more inclusive way. In order to improve the user experience, the system was developed to work in a CAVE-like immersive environment using Natural Language Processing through a Semantic Embodied Conversational Agent. This work highlights that assistive technology can promote educational, psychological, and social benefits for students with disabilities. The use of assistive technology can enable academic engagement and social participation and be transformative from a psychological perspective. A case study was conducted on children with autism, which showed encouraging results of the system as an assistive technology for teaching and learning.
Intermediate Task Fine-Tuning in Cancer Classification
Authors: García Mario Alejandro , Gramática Martín Nicolás , Ricapito Juan Pablo
Published: October 2023

Reducing the amount of annotated data required to train predictive models is one of the main challenges in applying artificial intelligence to histopathology. In this paper, we propose a method to enhance the performance of deep learning models trained with limited data in the field of digital pathology. The method relies on a two-stage transfer learning process, where an intermediate model serves as a bridge between a pre-trained model on ImageNet and the final cancer classification model. The intermediate model is fine-tuned with a dataset of over 4,000,000 images weakly labeled with clinical data extracted from TCGA program. The model obtained through the proposed method significantly outperforms a model trained with a traditional transfer learning process.
Publication of Linked Open Data – A Systematic Literature Review for Identifying Problems and Technical Tools Supporting the Process
Authors: Silva Aguilar Jairo H. , Torres T. Rommel , Estevez Elsa
Published: October 2023

On the Internet, we find a large amount of information from government institutions that has been published in open format. However, only a part of these data is available in standard formats such as Resource Description Framework (RDF), and to a lesser extent, is published as Linked Open Data (LOD). The main objective of the research presented in this paper is to identify problems and tools used in the process of publishing LOD with the purpose of establishing a basis for the construction of a future framework that will help public institutions to facilitate such processes. To fulfill the objective, we conducted a systematic literature review in order to assess the state-of-the-art in this matter. The contribution of this work is to identify the frequent problems that arise in the LOD publishing process. It also provides a detail of the frameworks proposed in scientific papers grouping the technical tools by phases that correspond to the LOD publication life cycle. In addition, it compiles the characteristics of the ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) tools that predominate in this review, such as Pentaho Data Integration (Kettle) and OpenRefine.
The need of a proof-of-concept in artificial intelligence-based health-related quality of life instruments in veterinary medicine
Authors: Perez Jeff M.
Published: October 2023

The current state of the art of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and quality of life in the animal health industry highlights the limitations of existing methodologies and the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to overcome these limitations. AI has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of healthcare, including HRQoL assessment, leading to more efficient and accurate measurement and personalized medicine. AI in psychometrics can improve cognitive and behavioral assessments and lead to new insights into animal reactions and perceptions. A proof of concept (POC) study is used to assess the feasibility of an AI-based solution. In the next decade, AI-based HRQoL instruments in veterinary medicine are expected to emerge and become widely distributed, making them easily accessible for practical use in daily practice.
Gregorio Torres Quintero y su obra narrativa: hacia la construcción del Heimat literario colimense
Authors: Ortiz Alexis
Published: October 2023

En este artículo se examina la figura de Gregorio Torres Quintero y el despliegue e instrumentalización de su discurso literario en el proceso de construcción de un Heimat narrativo y metalingüístico. Se documenta cómo su aproximación al ejercicio creativo y político de la literatura da vida a un corpus cuya voz amplifica las cualidades y atributos regionales de Colima. Este proceso, más allá de la exaltación de parámetros regionales, establece a Colima como región culturalmente autónoma en el contexto más amplio de la nación y los procesos de conformación que la caracterizaron durante etapas clave del siglo XIX y principios del XX.
Con ese fin se explora la relevancia y particularidades dentro de la obra de Torres Quintero del vocablo Heimat, de raíces profundas en la historiografía romántica alemana, como vía de aproximación a su obra poética, cuentística y novelística. Se arguye que, a través de este, se fijan los parámetros de la creación de Colima como una entidad literaria e histórica. En ella, la historia de México y el mundo convergen en sus esferas literarias y geopolíticas. Igualmente, estas se presentan como evidencia de una autoconciencia singular, nutrida y definida por el aislamiento geográfico y un discurso letrado decimonónico en conflicto con dichos atributos. Finalmente, se postula que la literatura de Torres Quintero conlleva una proposición paradójica: la del regionalismo como universalismo, punto neural de la nación, si se considera en el contexto de lo que Ignacio Altamirano predicaba como la “literatura nacional” y la genealogía romántica a la que se afilia la literatura de Torres Quintero.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors were discovered in 1980 and since then they are used in many conditions like stable chronic heart failure, myocardial infarction (MI) and diabetic nephropathy and developed to become a recommended first-line therapy for hypertension (HTN), yet very few comparative studies and head-to-head trials exist to date. Hence, this study aimed to clarify ACE inhibitors pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics differences, assess the cost-effectiveness of ACE inhibitors, elaborate safety and side effects of ACE inhibitors, discuss which ACE inhibitor is favorable for variety of cases, and to promote more comparison studies and head-to-head trials between ACE inhibitors. This review article used published studies of ACE inhibitors properties and extracted data from Saudi Food and Drug Administration. It was found that enalapril has the longest duration of action of all ACE inhibitors, lasting 35 to 38 hours. While perindopril has the highest bioavailability, 65-75%, compared to other ACE inhibitors. The price variance of ACE inhibitors was found as lisinopril with the lowest price (18.7–37.45 Saudi Riyals SAR) and zofenopril with the highest price ($192). Further, zofenopril, trandolapril, and quinapril are the medications that are unavailable in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, angioedema is one of the most dangerous side effects of ACE inhibitors, along with hyperkalemia, kidney issues, headaches, and cough. However, the side effects of all these drugs are similar. Hence, it was concluded that the future of ACE inhibitors might also involve improved safety profiles through the development of novel ACE inhibitors with fewer side effects or better tolerability.
Determination of Yield and Quality Parameters in Pickling Hot Peppers Grown under Different Water Stress Conditions

Plants are exposed to various adverse environmental conditions throughout their growth period. In recent years, drought, which has occurred and necessitated different measures, ranks among these adverse conditions. At the same time, plants synthesize certain biochemical compounds in response to the adverse conditions they will encounter. These compounds not only strengthen the immune system but also provide resistance against various diseases, and they tend to increase under adverse environmental conditions that plants will face during cultivation. This study was conducted to determine the changes in yield and some biochemical components in pickling hot peppers (Capsicum Annuum L.) grown under different water stress conditions. Two different levels of water stress (%70 and %30 irrigation) were applied in addition to full irrigation (%100 irrigation). At the end of the research, while a yield of 269.42 g per plant was obtained in the control group (%100 irrigation), 150.14 g and 93.33 g of pickling hot peppers were harvested in each water stress treatment, respectively. Total phenolic compound levels increased with water stress; it was determined to be 0.827 mg-1g in the trial irrigated with full irrigation water, 1.170 mg-1g in plants exposed to mild water stress, and up to 1.536 mg-1g in the trial subjected to severe water stress. In addition, total flavonoids and antioxidant compound levels also increased with increasing water stress. The amounts of flavonoid compounds obtained from the trial groups were 0.146, 0.373, and 0.412 mg-1g, respectively, while the antioxidant levels determined by the DPPH method increased in quantity with increasing water stress, similar to other biochemical compounds. According to these results, it was determined that the yield of pickling hot peppers decreased in the case of water shortage that the plants would face in cultivation, but there was an increase in some biochemical compounds.
Analysis of Monthly Precipitation at the Basin Scale in Türkiye
Authors: Aksu Hasan Hüseyin
Published: October 2023

Basin-based water management strategy is one of the necessary instruments for the protection and sustainable use of water resources against climate change. In this paper, the monthly precipitation distributions of the 25 major basins in Türkiye were produced, and amounts and volumes were computed and analyzed. Only annual modeling and assessments of precipitation may hide months with precipitation shortages. Empirical Bayesian Kriging (EBK), Ordinary Kriging (OK), and Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) were implemented in interpolation. EBK outperformed in all months and calculations were based on the EBK. The month with the highest precipitation potential in Türkiye is December (77.9 mm, 60.77 billion m3), and the month with the lowest precipitation potential is August (13.8 mm, 10.76 billion m3). In the basins, the monthly precipitation amounts range between 2.7 mm and 185.2 mm, and the volumes range between 0.02 billion m3 and 13.24 billion m3. The basins with the highest precipitation depth were determined as the East Black Sea, Antalya, Asi, and Ceyhan, and the lowest as the Small Menderes, Konya, and Tigris-Euphrates in different months. The monthly precipitation patterns and potentials of the basins vary widely. In May, June, July, August, and September, when water, particularly agricultural irrigation, is required the most, the 20 basins, except for the 5 located in Northern Türkiye precipitation shortage was determined.
Pengaruh Teknik Hardening dan Konsentrasi Paclobutrazol terhadap Pertumbuhan Planlet Krisan (Chrysanthemum sp.) pada Tahap Aklimatisasi
Authors: Putri Elsa Melanda , Ermawati Netty
Published: October 2023

The increasing interest and demand for chrysanthemum plants affect their economic value, which causes the quality of chrysanthemum plants to be demanded from all sides. One of the efforts to meet the needs of chrysanthemum plants in a short time is tissue culture. However, the acclimatization stage becomes a critical stage that threatens the presentation of chrysanthemum plantlets. This study aimed to determine the interaction between hardening techniques and paclobutrazol concentration on the growth of chrysanthemum plantlets at the acclimatization stage. This research was conducted in the Green House of the Tissue Culture Laboratory of Jember Polytechnic from November 2022 to January 2023. This study used a factorial complete randomized design (CRD) repeated 4 times. The first factor is the hardening technique consisting of 2 levels, H0 (no hardening), and H1 (hardening). The second factor is paclobutrazol concentration which consists of 3 levels, P1 (10 ppm), P2 (15 ppm), and P3 (20 ppm). Observational data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA, if the results showed significantly different effects then continued with the BNT test at the 5% level. The results showed that the hardening treatment had a significantly different effect on leaf color with a score of 3.5. Treatment with a paclobutrazol concentration of 20 ppm had a significantly different effect on increasing plant height by 2.71 cm and increasing the number of leaves by 1.38. This suggests that paclobutrazol and hardening treatment are needed at the acclimatization stage of chrysanthemums.
