Published: October 2023

Socioeconomic status (SES) is evaluated by considering a family's income, level of education, and occupation of head of household. SES serves as significant indicator of the family's overall health and their access to resources. Modified Kuppuswamy scale is among the most used tools to assess SES of urban residents, but it necessitates regular updates due to consistent inflation. In this study, present updated version of modified Kuppuswamy socioeconomic scale for the year 2023 in India. Additionally, we have further refined the income points for the scales that were previously underutilized. This refinement aims to ensure more accurate categorization of families based on their societal position.

Authors: Bansod Vaishali P. , Kulkarni Shraddha S. , Khandre Ruchita R.
Published: October 2023

As per the new competency-based medical education curriculum, teaching and learning methods have been shifted from teacher-centric to student-centric to provide students with opportunities for diverse learning experiences through interactive learning. So, the department introduced innovative teaching in the classroom environment to make students understand the concept of community diagnosis in detail so that it will be beneficial for them while executing an actual visit to their family. A village was simulated in the classroom; students were randomly identified as medical students who were going to interact with villagers for the purpose of community diagnosis, whose roles were played by the remaining students. After that, the student explained the process with input from faculty. Feedback from students was taken through a Google form about the activity. There was a self-driven response from students with their active participation. They felt that it was a very interactive class and it prepared them for the field visit. Such simulation activities can be used as a teaching and learning method for relevant competencies with limited resources.

Authors: Brugnolli Medeiros Rafael , da Silva Charlei Aparecido , Boin Marcos Norberto , Berezuk André Geraldo
Published: October 2023

The morphostructural units of the Formoso River hydrographic basin (Bonito – Brazil) are unique in Brazil and configure the karst landscapes of Serra da Bodoquena. The present research aims to identify and spatialize the karst units inside a semi-detail scale and analyze their correlation with the regional landscape. Thus, the database is based on: 1) technical information offered by The Geological Survey of Brazil; 2) data offered by the Radam/Brasil Project; 3) altimetric charts of the study area; 4) field trip data to develop and verify the regional karst landscape. The authors observed a major presence of carbonated rocks in the study area (64.93%) and a minor but significant presence of terrigenous rock extension (35.07%). The main geological formations of the study area are the Cuiabá Group (terrigenous rocks) and Corumba Group (carbonated rocks). The regional landscape conditions of the Formoso River Hydrographic basin directly influence superficial water characteristics creating translucent water. The karst area presents classical characteristics with caves, mogotes, dolines, and river sinks. In addition, the area presents significant pedological variation and complexity that influence the local canopy cover with human activity all over the study area, affecting the landscape and threatening the karst scenario.
General considerations on the genesis of Uranium and Vanadium occurrence in the Cretaceous sedimentary rocks of the Berlin Synclinal, Central Cordillera (Colombian Andes)
Authors: Cáceres-Bottia Andrés , Mantilla-Figueroa Luis Carlos , Ríos-Reyes Carlos Alberto , Pimiento-Rueda Robinson
Published: October 2023

The mineralization at the Berlin project in Colombia presents a huge interest based on its relatively high uranium and vanadium concentrations (0.11% U3O8) and (0.45% V2O5), with a suite of other economically interesting elements, all of them necessary to achieve the energy transition, including Y, Re, Ag, and P. The present research suggests a hypothesis for the U and V mineralization: an epigenetic origin. The results indicate that the source for U, V, and the other economic elements associated, were released from the black shales of the Abejorral Formation that is overlying a carbonate succession of Cretaceous wackestone. Those elements were transported in diagenetic fluids under specific physical and geochemical conditions. Efficient strata-bound trap occurred when the carbonate succession triggered a redox front that interacted not only with mineralized fluids, but organic matter and H2S.

Authors: Lemos Silva Willian , Venâncio Stênio de Sousa
Published: October 2023

Urban storm drainage emerged with the evolution of society in search of improvements in health and comfort going through different phases and today it connects with a sustainable and technological bias. Through Python programming, it is possible to integrate a Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Engineering (CAD/CAE) system into the Revit platform using the Dynamo tool as an intermediary. This work presents the development and validation of a computational tool for dimensioning urban drainage coupled to the graphical project modeling platform Revit. The results obtained with the numerical code point to a good agreement when compared with those generated by conventional tools, using a calculator and an Excel spreadsheet. It shows that, due to the direct and automatic communication between drawing and dimensioning is possible to reduce the time spent filling out spreadsheets and facilitate analyses such as minimum inclinations of the pipe through warnings and factors such as the ratio of the water sheet and diameter through color scales.
Climate, socioeconomic factors and spatial distribution of some worldwide arboviruses: a review of the literature
Authors: Parra Gabriela Elisa , Ribeiro Ana Cristina , Uehara Sílvia Carla da Silva André
Published: October 2023

The spread of arboviruses can be influenced by factors such as climate, socioeconomic and spatial distribution. The identification of populations at highest risk of exposure to arboviruses is an important topic in the public health scenario. Therefore, the present study is a review of the literature, which aimed to identify the association between the spatial distribution of Dengue Virus, Zika Virus and Chikungunya Virus and the social, environmental and economic aspects of individuals affected by arboviruses, the based on the analysis of published literature on the topic. Articles published in Portuguese, Spanish and English between 1997 and 2019 were included; and studies that addressed the clinic, infection, molecular biology, genetics, entomology and microbiology of viruses and mathematical modeling studies and reviews were excluded. The search for articles was carried out in the IBECS databases; CINAHL; MEDLINE; PubMed; Web of Science. After data mapping, PRISMA was used to extract the data. Therefore, of the 32 articles included in the analysis, the results showed that climatic factors such as temperature and precipitation affect the origin, evolution and distribution of vectors; and, consequently, the transmission of related pathogens. Furthermore, when considering socioeconomic aspects, populations from regions with greater social vulnerability are at greater risk of becoming ill from an arbovirus. Therefore, these results suggest that climatic factors and socioeconomic aspects are associated with the spatial distribution of arboviruses, making it essential to develop efficient control and prevention measures for arboviruses, especially in the most vulnerable regions.
Política afirmativa na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul: as ações de permanência estudantil na concepção das gestoras e dos gestores
Authors: Batista Neusa Chaves , Bueno Rita de Cássia Soares de Souza
Published: October 2023

Resumo: O artigo nalisa o processo de institucionalização da política afirmativa para a educação superior na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), dando foco à permanência dos/das acadêmicos/as cotistas a partir dos significados estabelecidos pelos atores que atuam na macrogestão da academia. Para tal, utiliza-se, como referencial teórico, uma noção de justiça social que incorpora a necessidade de reparação/transformação em três dimensões: socioeconômica (classe social), cultural (identidades e status) e política (participação política). A base epistemológica-metodológica centra-se nas premissas da análise crítica do discurso, a entender que o discurso não só está determinado pelas instituições e estruturas sociais, mas que é parte constitutiva delas, isto é, que o discurso constrói o social como prática, atuando tanto como reprodutor das estruturas sociais quanto seu transformador. Em termos de resultados, a pesquisa revela que a UFRGS carece de enfrentar desafios substanciais referentes à implementação de ações de permanência estudantil que considerem a diversidade social, econômica e cultural dos/das estudantes cotistas oriundos/das dos meios populares. Ademais, o estudo demonstra que a universidade ainda possui uma organização acadêmica bastante condicionada por bases institucionais voltadas para o ensino das elites brasileiras.
Kapitał intelektualny a konkurencyjność banków w Polsce
Authors: Anielak-Sobczak Karolina
Published: October 2023

Współczesne banki działające w gospodarce opartej na wiedzy nieustannie poszukują źródeł poprawy swojej konkurencyjności i atrakcyjności w stosunku do sektora bankowego. Niezbędna staje się zatem umiejętność elastycznego reagowania na zmiany zachodzące w otoczeniu rynkowym oraz kreatywne wykorzystywanie posiadanych zasobów i doświadczeń. Współcześnie na rynku usług bankowych występuje zbliżona oferta produktowa, podobna funkcjonalność dostępnych kanałów dystrybucji, co powoduje zwrócenie uwagi zarządzających na tzw. miękkie czynniki przewagi konkurencyjnej. Kapitał intelektualny jest źródłem zasobów niematerialnych banku, takich jak wiedza, umiejętności pracowników, jakość obsługi, relacje i wizerunek społeczny oraz innowacje. W niniejszej monografii skupiono się na strukturze kapitału intelektualnego, a także jego wpływu na konkurencyjność banków. Przedstawiono koncepcję podziału kapitału intelektualnego banku na trzy podsystemy: kapitał organizacyjny (KORG), kapitał innowacyjny (KINN) oraz kapitał instytucjonalny (KINS). Autorka w monografii wykorzystała wielowymiarową analizę statyczną, w ramach której zbudowany został autorski miernik syntetyczny konkurencyjności banków. Obliczony został na podstawie 26 wskaźników diagnostycznych, związanych z oceną kapitału intelektualnego i ekonomicznego, które według autorki najbardziej wpływają na konkurencyjność. Dzięki temu stworzyła rankingi pod względem ich konkurencyjności, dla grupy 10 giełdowych banków komercyjnych w Polsce w latach 2009–2020.

Unearthing Ecofeminist Echoes in D.H. Lawrence’s Sons and Lovers
Authors:   The Criticism and Theory Society of Korea, Dong Wanjin , Kim Soonbae
Published: October 2023

This article explores D.H. Lawrence’s autobiographical novel, Sons and Lovers (1913), through the lens of ecofeminism, focusing on the intricate emotional relationships between the protagonist, Paul, his mother, Mrs. Morel, and his two lovers, Miriam and Clara. In the context of the Industrial Revolution’s large-scale mechanization, Lawrence’s work sheds light on the profound environmental consequences of this era on the sustenance of modern human. The narrative further suggests that modern humanity has suffered significant suppression and destruction due to the dominance of mechanical civilization, resulting in a pervasive imbalance between humankind and nature, as well as among different societal groups, particularly in gender relations. Lawrence’s astute portrayal places gender relations on the grand stage of industrial civilization, resonating with the plight of both the natural environment and women who endured oppression under anthropocentrism or patriarchy. This paper adopts an intersectional perspective that simultaneously addresses the human-to-nature issue and the male-to-female issue within the framework of ecofeminism. Its primary objective is to illuminate Lawrence’s endeavor to chart a path for modern humanity’s survival. In doing so, Lawrence advocates for a harmonious equilibrium between societal development and the natural world, alongside the principle of gender equality. This approach embodies the essence of ecofeminism and underscores Lawrence’s profound humanistic concerns.
Literature as a Global Theory
Authors:   The Criticism and Theory Society of Korea, Lee Taek-Gwang
Published: October 2023

This essay discusses the globalization of literature and its political implications, arguing that literature is not timeless or ahistorical but a modern invention deeply rooted in its historical, linguistic, and cultural context.I begin my arguments by pointing out that “literature” is not universal but a specifically European concept. In Japan, for example, the word “bungaku” (文学), which is translated as “literature”, had a different meaning before Soseki encountered English literature. Soseki confessed that he found it challenging to subsume Chinese classics and English literary works under a single definition of literature. This discrepancy between Chinese and English literature, Soseki argued, is because literature is not simply a collection of writings but a specific style of writing associated with modernity. Literature is not self-explanatory but requires a certain level of cultural literacy to understand. Therefore, the globalisation of literature is not simply a process of spreading European literary culture to other parts of the world. Instead, it adapts European literary forms and concepts to different cultural contexts. This process is often fraught with political implications, as it can involve imposing hegemonic cultural values on marginalized cultures. I conclude by arguing that there is no such thing as political literature, but only literary politics. The style of writing as such is the ambiguous process of modernisation. This means that literature is not simply a tool for political propaganda but rather a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that can be used to explore and challenge a wide range of political issues.
Gordofobia

Published: October 2023

Na sociedade contemporânea, o corpo fora do padrão traz preconceito e discriminação. Isto pode causar problemas de autoestima em pessoas com excesso de peso. Em função da importância do tema, o presente estudo tem por objetivo identificar a percepção sobre gordofobia de profissionais de educação física da região metropolitana de Belém/PA que estão acima do peso. Estudo descritivo, exploratório e qualitativo. Foi realizada entrevista semiestruturada com oito questões sobre gordofobia, discriminação e preconceito direcionada a 10 profissionais de educação física. Para a análise dos dados, utilizou-se a Análise de Conteúdo na modalidade temática proposta por Minayo (2014). Os resultados apontaram que todos os profissionais já haviam sofrido algum tipo de discriminação, por estarem acima do peso. Isto desencadeou sentimentos de constrangimento em função de brincadeiras de mau gosto e piadas depreciativas. Os entrevistados preocupam-se em serem tratados como pessoas incapazes de realizar atividade de vida diária. Entende-se a necessidade de que esses discursos discriminatórios e gordofóbicos devam ser superados a partir das discussões e reflexões sobre a temática, mostrando que não necessariamente quem está acima do peso é doente ou desleixado.

Published: October 2023

Beaches are regions of the coastal zone where the effects of interaction between marine, terrestrial and atmospheric ecosystems are often seen. Natural and anthropic agents act together in coastal processes, which may result in erosion or accretion. If the erosion is intense and continuous, it will represent a severe problem, especially in densely occupied and economically significant beaches, such as the beaches of Peroba and Redonda that have registered erosive events. Thus, this work aimed to analyze the variation of the coastline and the volume of beach sediments through a historical series of one year employing a remotely piloted aircraft, conjugated with the analysis of sediments collected in fields. At Peroba beach, the shoreline was stable, having varied by about 0,87 m/year, and the volume indicated a positive sediment balance of about 18.815 m3. At Redonda beach, the coastline degraded by about 1,27 m/year. The volume indicated a negative sediment balance of -1.230 m3. The beaches were mainly characterized by sediments of very fine and fine sand fractions. The volume variation indicated similar trends to the shoreline, with more significant deposition in the west and erosion in the east.

Authors: Sudarta Gede Dicky Wahyu Putra , Darma I Made Wirya , Chansrakaeo Ruetaitip
Published: October 2023

The provision of criminal sanctions for medical personnel who violate the law in the form of gross negligence creates legal uncertainty apart from the unclear definition of serious negligence and does not involve the role of professional medical professional organizations in determining criminal witnesses for medical personnel. This study aims to formulate aspects of corrective justice for medical personnel who violate the law, especially in the realm of criminal law. This research is a normative legal research with a concept and statutory approach. The results of the study confirm that the criminal responsibility of medical personnel requires the role of the professional organization of the medical personnel concerned. This is because the assessment of the professional organization of medical personnel is important as a form of guaranteeing justice and legal certainty for medical personnel. Corrective justice-based medical personnel accountability orientation can actually be carried out by involving the roles and recommendations of medical professional organizations. In addition, health law reform is also needed by formulating criminal sanctions for medical personnel based on ultimum remidium, namely utilizing non-prison criminal sanctions in order to achieve justice for medical personnel

Trade secret is one of the intellectual property that must be protected. This relates to the existence of a company whose economic activities are based on trade secrets. Problems related to trade secrets are trade secret violations which are only formulated as violations of positive law provisions. In fact, in the era of modern business development there is a potential for violations of trade secrets that have not been accommodated by positive law. This study aims to analyze as well as construct aspects of a violation of decency as a form of violation of trade secrets. This research is a normative legal research that uses a concept, case, and statutory approach. The results of the study confirm that the orientation of a violation of decency as a form of trade secret violation can be carried out through extensive interpretation related to expanding the meaning of "laws and regulations" which has a broader meaning, namely "in accordance with legal provisions". There are two orientations of legal construction, namely short term and long term. The orientation of short-term legal construction is carried out by expanding the meaning of violating trade secrets not only contrary to positive law, but also including violations of decency that develop in society. The long-term orientation is that it is necessary to revise the provisions of trade secret law in order to keep abreast of developments in the growing business world.

Sargassum polycystum is well known as macroalgae that contain active compounds with great function as antioxidants. The antioxidants content of the seaweed has links closely to phenolic compounds. The study is aimed to determine active compound quality from different thalli parts of S. polycystum extracted by Ultra-sound-assisted extraction (UAE). Fresh samples were prepared into three parts, which are apical, middle, and base thallus. Extraction was carried out by ultrasonication method and using 90% acetone as solvent. Levels of total phenols were analyzed using the Reagent Folin-Ciocalteu. Antioxidant activities were analyzed using DPPH, FRAP, and CUPRAC methods. The highest total phenolic content was found at the apical of the thallus, about 875.64 mg GAE/g. The most excellent DPPH antioxidant activities in S. polycystum were found from the apical part of the thallus with an IC 50 value of 38.49 ppm. The FRAP and CUPRAC antioxidant’s capacity showed the highest in the apical part of the thallus, which was 989.93 mol Fe (II)/g and 555.52 µmol Trolox/g, respectively. The extraction results of different parts of the thallus show highly potent active compounds of alkaloids, steroids, phenols, flavonoids, and potent antioxidants activity.Keywords: antioxidants, phytochemical, ultrasonication, S. polycystum
Detection of AI Created Images Using Pixel-wise Feature Extraction and Convolutional Neural Networks

Published: October 2023

Generative AI has gained enormous interest nowadays due to new applications like chatGPT, DALL E, Stable Difussion and Deep Fake. Particularly DALL E, Stable Difussion and others (Adobe Firefly, ImagineArt...) are able to create images from a text prompt and are also able to recreate real photographs. Due to this fact, intense research has arisen to create new image forensics applications able to distinguish between real captured images and videos and artificial ones. Detecting forgeries made with Deep Fake is one of the most researched issues. This paper is about another kind of forgery detection. The purpose of this research aims to detect photo realistic AI created images versus real photos coming from a physical camera. For this purpose, techniques that perform a pixel level feature extraction are used. First one is Photo Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU). PRNU is a special noise due to imperfections on the camera sensor that is used for source camera identification. The underlying idea is that AI images will have a different PRNU pattern. Second one is Error level analysis (ELA). This is other type of feature extraction traditionally used for detecting image editions. In fact, ELA is being used nowadays by photographers to detect manually AI created images. Both kinds of features are used to train Convolutional Neural Networks to differentiate between AI images and real photographs. Good results are obtained achieving accuracy rates over 95%. Both extraction methods are carefully assessed by computing precision/recall and F1-score measurements.
Geometrized Vacuum Physics. Part IV: Dynamics of Vacuum Layers
Authors: Batanov-Gaukhman Mikhail
Published: October 2023

This article is the fourth part of a scientific project under the general title “Geometrized vacuum physics based on the Algebra of Signatures". In the first three articles [1,2,3], the foundations of the Algebra of Stignatures were laid and the main aspects of the kinematics of vacuum layers were considered. This article continues the development of the mathematical apparatus of the proposed project, in particular, the dynamics of vacuum layers is developed based on the Algebra of Signatures. The development of this direction of research (with simplifications related to Riemann's differential geometry) led to the possibility of a geometrized representation of the electric field strength and magnetic field induction. This geometrized mathematical apparatus allows one to interpret the electromagnetic field as an interweaving of accelerated and rotational flows of the adjacent layers of vacuum. The proposed dynamic models of accelerated movements and rotations of vacuum layers can provide a theoretical basis for the development of “zero” (i.e. vacuum) technologies.

In response to injury, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of the arterial wall dedifferentiate into a proliferative and migratory phenotype, leading to intimal hyperplasia. The ERK1/2 pathway participates in cellular proliferation and migration while dual-specificity phosphatase 6 (DUSP6, also named MKP3) can dephosphorylate activated ERK1/2. We showed that DUSP6 was expressed in low baseline levels in normal arteries; however, arterial injury significantly increased DUSP6 levels in the vessel wall. Compared with wild-type mice, Dusp6-deficient mice had smaller neointima. In vitro, IL-1β induced DUSP6 expression and increased VSMC proliferation and migration. Lack of DUSP6 diminished IL-1β-induced VSMC proliferation and migration. DUSP6 deficiency did not affect IL-1β-stimulated ERK1/2 activation. Instead, ERK1/2 inhibitor U0126 prevented DUSP6 induction by IL-1beta, indicating that ERK1/2 functions upstream of DUSP6 to regulate DUSP6 expression in VSMCs rather than downstream as a DUSP6 substrate. IL-1β decreased levels of cell cycle inhibitor p27 and cell-cell adhesion molecule N-cadherin in VSMCs whereas lack of DUSP6 prevented their downregulation, revealing novel functions of DUSP6 in regulating these two molecules. Taken together, our results indicate that lack of DUSP6 attenuated neointima formation following arterial injury by reducing VSMC proliferation and migration, which were likely mediated via maintaining p27 and N-cadherin levels.
Kernel-Based Independence Tests for Causal Structure Learning on Functional Data

Published: October 2023

Measurements of systems taken along a continuous functional dimension, such as time or space, are ubiquitous in many fields, from the physical and biological sciences to economics and engineering. Such measurements can be viewed as realisations of an underlying smooth process sampled over the continuum. However, traditional methods for independence testing and causal learning are not directly applicable to such data, as they do not take into account the dependence along the functional dimension. By using specifically designed kernels, we introduce statistical tests for bivariate, joint, and conditional independence for functional variables. Our method not only extends the applicability to functional data of the Hilbert-Schmidt independence criterion (HSIC) and its d-variate version (d-HSIC), but also allows us to introduce a test for conditional independence by defining a novel statistic for the conditional permutation test (CPT) based on the Hilbert-Schmidt conditional independence criterion (HSCIC), with optimised regularisation strength estimated through an evaluation rejection rate. Our empirical results of the size and power of these tests on synthetic functional data show good performance, and we then exemplify their application to several constraint- and regression-based causal structure learning problems, including both synthetic examples and real socio-economic data.
