Authors: Kheifets Ekaterina
Published: December 2024

В работе рассмотрены исторические предпосылки формирования топливно-энергетического сектора США. За последний век США столкнулись с рядом масштабных шоков как мировой экономики, так и энергетических рынков, что поставило вопрос о достижении энергетической безопасности во главу политических приоритетов страны. Рассмотрена географическая структура торговли нефти и газа, а также внутренний отраслевой спрос. В работе дана оценка возможным последствиям новой промышленной политики на внутренний спрос на энергоресурсы, а также анализ инвестиционного цикла нефтегазовых компаний, который характеризовался относительно высокой чувствительностью капиталовложений к динамике цен. Отмечено незначительное влияние климатического лобби на объем выбросов и потребление ископаемых энергоресурсов.

Not New: Images of Women in Soviet Feature Films of the 1920s
Authors: Vorobyeva M. V. , Kochukhova E. S.
Published: December 2024

In current Soviet studies, the concept of the “new woman” is considered to be one of the key elements of the “new man” socio-anthropological project. This concept is studied, as well as its representation in posters, journalism, literature, etc. The purpose of the article is to determine in what capacity the image of the “new woman” was in demand in the cinema of the 1920s. The key components of the policy to address the “women’s issue” and the features of the film industry of the studied period are described. The main and secondary heroines of 14 feature films are analyzed (the sample includes films on urban life in the USSR, shot by studios of Russian-speaking republics). The results obtained allow us to conclude that none of the female movie characters embraced all the key features of the “new woman”, but a series of their images reveals the novelty manifested in various forms. The symbolic hierarchy of properties of the “new woman” is described. Economic independence is a necessary but insufficient condition for emancipation. This characteristic should be complemented by psychological independence and a demonstration of willingness to change one’s life and, importantly, the lives of others by joining social work. Adherence to liberal sexual morality and separation from the family are the features of the “new woman”, which are possible for the heroines, but not mandatory. It is concluded that “not new” female images dominate among the analyzed characters. The authors identify possible reasons why the image of the “new woman” was not prevalent in the Soviet cinema art of the 1920s.
Formation of the Classical Philosophy of Science and the Evolution of Its Forms
Authors: Brianik N.V.
Published: December 2024

The modern philosophy of science is genetically related to the formed in the modern era classical philosophy of science. The latter, in turn, was formed under the influence of developments in the New European (“new”) science in the late 16th – 18th centuries. The new European science has acquired the status of classical one, because it is the initial stage of the modern type of science. The distinctive feature of this modern type is that experiment has become its basis and method. The article reveals the specifics of experiment as an activity associated with the search for facts that can confirm or refute an assumption/theory/law. An overview of the emergence of the experimental method in natural science and humanities is carried out. The concepts of Francis Bacon, René Descartes, and Immanuel Kant are considered as varieties of classical philosophy of science. It is concluded that in the case of Francis Bacon, the philosophy of science represents a methodology of science, extremely approximated to and aimed at the objective world studied by science, revealing the laws of experimental activity and the rules of the method of induction, which make exploration of nature possible. This type of philosophy of science runs from Francis Bacon to Auguste Comte and the whole positivist tradition. The second type of classical philosophy of science constitutes the axiomatic-deductive methodology of science. It has its origin in the philosophy of René Descartes and brings science and philosophy quite closely together, since in this methodology it is philosophy that sets the fundamentals/axioms of the deductive method. This branch leads to Hegel and the phenomenological tradition. Immanuel Kant builds a critical methodology that claims to overcome the limitations of both empirical-inductive and axiomatic-deductive methodologies. In this methodology, experiment is comprehended through such a concept as “the limits of possible experience”. A peculiar continuation of the Kantian variety of the philosophy of science is the critical rationalism by Karl Popper.
Epistemic Justice: Trusting the Other in Cognition as a Theoretical and Practical Problem
Authors: Murtazin S.R.
Published: December 2024

One of the problems of contemporary epistemology, the exploration of which can contribute to a fuller understanding of cognition as both an individual and collective process, is epistemic injustice. It is defined as the denial of epistemic trust to the Other, grounded in explicit and implicit identity biases existing in society. The author believes that the issue of epistemic injustice extends beyond the scope of investigating social injustice in general, serving as a serious obstacle to the achievement of epistemic values by an individual and society as a whole. The impact of this phenomenon on human cognitive activity is due to the actual totality of communicative knowledge or testimonial knowledge. Testimonial knowledge is obtained not through direct interaction with objects, but rather through the beliefs held by other subjects about these objects. The ideal of a fully self-sufficient epistemic agent, i.e. the ideal of epistemic autarky, seems to the author to be unrealistic and unattainable, since a person cannot fully cognize the world around him/her or even himself/herself alone. The codependency of individuals in the cognitive process emerges as the main prerequisite not only for negative socio-political implications but also for the epistemic consequences of epistemic injustice. From the author’s point of view, epistemic injustice can be opposed not by unprejudicedness, but by such epistemic virtues as epistemic justice (Miranda Fricker) and proper epistemic trust (Benjamin McCraw). Context sensitivity is seen as an important element of these virtues, accompanied by the ability to revise and question certain criteria underlying trust in others as knowers and epistemic agents. The results of investigations related to these virtues can address practical problems and challenges within such fields of knowledge and practice as medicine and health care.
The Fate of the USSR: A Theoretical Mystery or an Ideological Myth?
Authors: Skorobogatskiy V.V.
Published: December 2024

For more than thirty years, since the perestroika of the second half of the 1980s, attempts have been made in our country to solve a twofold task – to create an effective economy of a modern (market) type and to build a democratic, social, and legal state. As serious gaps between the goals set and the results achieved are revealed, nostalgia for the Soviet past, the myth of the Soviet as a lost paradise, is spreading more and more widely in society. The very transition from the past to the “new” present turned out to be chaotic and uncontrollable, with a palpable tendency to roll back and search for workarounds. The gaps in the development strategy are largely due to the state of Russian social science, the discrepancy between its empirical base and theoretical and methodological potential, and the historical tasks facing society and the state. Social science, which arose in the 19th century, fully assimilated the requirements that had developed in the course of the formation of classical science of the “science” type. The paradigm of science, formed in the second half of the 19th century based on Charles Darwin’s theory of biological evolution, includes an antiteleological attitude, the essence of which is the substantiation of the natural, stochastic nature of the historical process and the indirect recognition of anthropogenesis as a derivative, secondary aspect of the formation of the Big Society, crowned by the emergence of the state. Modern social science, remaining within the framework of the evolutionary paradigm and the basic provisions of the materialist understanding of history, is aloof from the real tasks facing society. As a way out of this state, the article discusses the transition to a new paradigm of scientific knowledge, which is formed on the basis of systemic, institutional, socio-cultural approaches, cybernetics, synergetics, etc. This transition, accompanied by the reworking and expansion of the empirical research base, updating the theoretical and methodological potential of social science and deconstructing the ideological myth about the USSR, can create the necessary conditions for a theoretically correct formulation of the issue on the historical fate of the Soviet Union and its scientific solution.
Categories of the Humane and the Inhumane in Karl Marx’s Philosophy: A Formal Analysis of Texts
Authors: Kondrashov P.N.
Published: December 2024

Based on a detailed analysis of Marx’s texts, the article for the first time systematically explicates such interrelated categories in his philosophy as man – the human/the non-human – the humane/the inhumane, and gives them formal definitions. The reconstruction of Marx’s ideas makes it possible to define man as a concrete historical, suffering, bodily-spiritual whole being, the mode of existence of which is praxis – a social consciously goal-setting transforming object-tool activity. In this process, man jointly with others transforms nature, creates its own artificial world of culture and forms an “ensemble” of social, interpersonal and existential relations, i.e. human society. This abstract definition of man allows us to formally define the human as everything that is inherent in a person as such and as everything that is done by a socialized person, both in terms of the activity itself and its results. Manifesting in specific forms, the human reveals itself in the socio-historical forms of the humane (truly human) and inhumane (inauthentic human existence). The article considers only two grounds for highlighting such forms: 1) subjective existential-emotional experience of one’s activity, one’s being-in-the-world, either as subject-subject pleasure from one’s free self-fulfillment in the world (the humane), or as alienation, aversion to one’s forced, unfree activity (the inhumane); 2) the objective role of activity, as a result of which the socio-ontological structures that create conditions for creative self-realization and are founded in subject-subject trust and intra-group solidarity are either productively reproduced or destroyed. It is emphasized that in specific social systems and situations, productive human activity can turn into its opposite and become inhuman practice, and, conversely, really inhuman forms of life organization in limited conditions can perform positive functions.
Commemorations of Cancel Communities in the Context of Digitalization
Authors: Linchenko A.A. , Trutenko E.V.
Published: December 2024

The article is a theoretical study of the transformation peculiarities of commemorations within modern cancel communities in the context of the influence of digitalization on the ways of recording, storing, reproducing and transmitting collective memory. Based on the constructivism of Pierre Bourdieu and the analysis of the contemporary social movements such as Black Lives Matter and Rhodes Must Fall, the article highlights the main features of modern cancel communities as mnemonic communities: an exaggerated focus on protest as an ideological basis for deconstructing the past, the construction of continuity with historically marginalized groups, the key role of digital technologies, the practical nature of commemorations and the expression of counter-memory, as well as the transnational nature of memory culture practices. Findings from the third wave memory studies underscores the significance of the digital turn in the field of memory research. This is evident in the emergence of new types of mnemonic communities, where the decisive role is played not by common patterns of identity, but by connective networks and hashtag interactions. The use of key concepts of digital memory studies – connective turn, globital memory, digital archive, gamification – as a theoretical framework allows us to identify and analyze the main trends in the transformation of commemorative practices in cancel communities in the context of digitalization. These trends include the amplification of commemorative practices in cancel communities and their unique temporality, the growing importance of the individual participation and mnemonic activism, the internationalization of commemorative practices, the rising influence of latent and passive forms of participation, and the active development of digital archives that serve as an alternative memory institution, focusing on protest forms of representation of the past.

Authors:   Universidad de Pamplona, Rincón-Alarcón Diego Fernando , Fonseca Matheus Johanna Margreth ,   Universidad de Pamplona, Jaramillo-Chaustre Xavier Leonardo ,   Universidad de Pamplona
Published: December 2024

Anamnesis: Renal nephroblastoma is a rare neoplasm of dogs. This case corresponds to a 3-year-old female Golden Retriever, who was treated due to bilateral abdominal distention and weight loss. Clinical and laboratory findings: There were not any alterations in the hemogram or blood biochemistry (AST, AP, BUN and creatinine). Radiographic findings were enlarged left kidney with a cystic center. Treatment approach: a median laparotomy was performed, the intestines and spleen were displaced to expose the left kidney, then this was dissected from the abdominal roof, the ureter, renal artery and vein were ligated and sectioned, and the affected kidney was excised. Macroscopically it presented a mass of 15 × 10 × 8 cm whit a central cavitation of 4 × 5 cm. Mixed type nephroblastoma grade II (SIOP and NWTSG) was diagnosed by histopathology. Immunohistochemistry was performed to confirm neoplasm and describe proliferating cell portions using cytokeratin AE1-AE3, Pax-8, and WT-1. Conclusion: Related to the rare presentation of this neoplasm it is very important to describe prognostic indicators in dogs with nephroblastoma. In this case the use of these markers was useful supporting the diagnosis.
THE RELIGIOUS ROLE OF THE EGYPTIAN QUEEN AS HIGH PRIESTESS. CULT OF HATHOR
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Bondarenko N.
Published: December 2024

In this article, the author analyzes the features of the service of Egyptian queens in the temples of Ancient Egypt. Religion in Ancient Egypt was a unique phenomenon that was significantly different from the modern understanding of the role of religion and the church in society. The temples served as a home for the god, where the king and the priesthood ensured the preservation of Maat on earth. The queens became the earthly embodiment of the goddess Mut. The degree of involvement in the process of serving the gods of the queens is also unique. In fact, the foundations of all the freedoms and rights of Egyptian women are laid in mythology, where Isis is perceived as equal to her husband Osiris. However, the fact that serving a certain religious cult was almost the only possibility to be realized in Egyptian society for women. In particular, one of the most influential is the cult of the goddess Hathor. This cult became a symbol and one of the canons of royal power. Hathor has the largest number of temples dedicated to any other goddess in Ancient Egypt. Unlike other cults, in the cult of Hathor the priesthood was usually represented by women. The main functions and responsibilities of the priestesses were to perform daily temple rituals for the deities, festivals and holidays, and to manage the property and resources of the temple. The queen was traditionally depicted larger, dressed in full royal regalia, holding symbols of power. It was a headdress with a uraeus or vulture, with its two wings hanging from both sides of the head. Later, in the New Kingdom, it was the high status of the queen in the religious sphere, which began to be especially actively combined with political life, that allowed women to gain truly unshakable positions in the management of the state. Therefore, after closer examination of all the above-mentioned aspects reveals that we can confirm the interdependence of political, religious and social status of queens. This statement is also reflected in the mythology and religion of Ancient Egypt. The occupation of queens in leading positions in the state distinguishes the Egyptian civilization from the entire history of the ancient world.
REVIEW ON "65 UKRAINIAN MASTERPIECES. RECOGNIZED AND IMPLICIT" BY DIANA KLOCHKO
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Chyrkova D.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of Diana Klochko's ideas, presented in her non-fiction book "65 Ukrainian masterpieces. Recognized and implicit". In this paper, we review the content of the work, the goal and tasks that Klochko set for her book, namely, the identification and description of the main masterpieces of Ukrainian fine art in a chronological dimension from the 7th century until 1991. As part of the review, we turn to the terminology and concept of "masterpiece", as well as to the semiotic and poststructuralist method, in which we focus on the works and ideas of R. Barth, R. Krauss, B. Groys, J. Berger, and L. Nochlin.

In the end, we came to a number of conclusions that help to understand the scope of work and the relevance of Klochko's ideas. Positively, we can appreciate the easy for non-fiction style of writing and structuring of thoughts on the example of concrete works of art from different periods. Thus, the main theme of the book is the conditional "migration of images" from one cultural area to another. The author also partly follows Berger's method, comparing the art of past periods with contemporary pop culture objects. She also outlines the influence of the Western European painting school on Ukrainian art. On the other hand, we also see a number of problems in Klochko's work. First of all, it is her uncertainty in the concept of "masterpiece", which makes the criteria for the author's choice of certain art objects unclear. Secondly, certain theses of Klochko lack completeness and a clear opinion regarding the artist's intention. Third, the gender approach lacks references to more relevant theories, as exemplified, for example, by the ideas of Linda Nochlin.

In general, we can conclude that Diana Klochko's book meets the criterion of the "non-fiction" genre, introducing the reader to an art history topic in an entertaining style. At the same time, in our opinion, the work lacks more modern and complex approaches that could be appropriate within the framework of the genre.

LINKING HUMAN CAPITAL TO INNOVATION CAPABILITY: A DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Tatlı Hasan Sadık
Published: December 2024

The research examines the mediating role of dynamic capabilities in the effect of human capital on innovation capability. The research was conducted with white-collar employees in a logistics company based in Istanbul. A simple random sampling technique was used to determine the sample. The research sample is 238 employees working in the same company for at least three years. Mediation models were used to analyse the data. The data analysis determined that employee capital significantly increases the company's dynamic and innovation capabilities. In addition, the company's dynamic capabilities mediate in forming the innovation capability of employee capital. The hypotheses created within the scope of the research were supported. Human capital companies' dynamic capabilities effectively form the company's dynamic capabilities and subsequently obtain innovation capabilities. The research contributes to the literature by associating employee capital, innovation capability, and dynamic capabilities in the logistics sector.

Evaluating the in vitro activity of cefoperazone-sulbactam against Gram negative pathogens in blood stream infections using automated systems
Authors: Qadri Uksim , Zaffar Sofiya , Wani Saleem Javaid , Roohi Shugufta , Aman Munazah , Bhat Sabah , Majid Umaya
Published: December 2024

Background and Objectives: The incidence of multidrug-resistant, Gram-negative organisms, isolated as the etiological agents of infections is ascending. The advent of novel antibiotics poses significant challenges, necessitating the optimization and utilization of extant antimicrobial agents. Cefoperazone, a third-generation cephalosporin and β-lactam antimicrobial, when combined with sulbactam, an irreversible β-lactamase inhibitor, mitigates the vulnerability of cefoperazone to β-lact- amase-producing organisms. Nonetheless, regional data on the susceptibility patterns for this pharmacological combination remains scarce. The primary objective of this investigation was to assess the efficacy of the cefoperazone-sulbactam combi- nation against prevalent Gram-negative bacteria isolated from blood cultures.
Materials and Methods: A total of 700 Gram-negative isolates, comprising Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acine- tobacter species, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, were procured using the BacT/Alert 3D system. The identification and sus- ceptibility testing for cefoperazone-sulbactam were performed using the VITEK Compact ID and AST system. Comparative analysis was conducted against other tested antibiotics.
Results: The study revealed that cefoperazone-sulbactam exhibited commendable in-vitro activity against Gram-negative pathogens isolated from blood, surpassed only by colistin and tigecycline.
Conclusion: Cefoperazone-sulbactam demonstrates robust activity against the most frequently encountered clinical patho- gens, suggesting its potential as an efficacious therapeutic agent. The findings underscore the imperative for ongoing surveil- lance of resistance patterns and trends among commonly used antimicrobials.

Background and Objectives: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacterium involved in gastrointestinal disorders with a high prevalence in Iran. We have determined the seroprevalence of H. pylori in the young adult population of Mashhad city for the first time.
Materials and Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study on 933 individuals between the ages of 15 and 35 in Mash- had. The serum level of IgG, IgM, and IgA H. pylori antibodies was determined using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.
Results: The average age of the participants including 290 (31.0%) male and 643 (68.9%) female cases was 25.47 ± 5.76. H. pylori IgG was seropositive in 365 (39.1%) of subjects. Occupation (p=0.002), body mass index (p=0.002), marital status (p<0.0001), and age (p<0.007) were meaningfully related to H. pylori IgG seropositivity. Other factors such as sex, educa- tional attainment, history of chronic diseases, and smoking cigarette had no significant relationship with the presence of H. pylori antibodies.
Conclusion: The seroprevalence of H. pylori IgG antibodies in Mashhad's 15 to 35 years old citizens was determined 39.1%. We suggest further studies with larger sample sizes and different age groups as the target population.

Background and Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the epidemiology and clinical therapy of candidemia in burn patients hospitalized in Velayat Hospital, Rasht, Iran.
Materials and Methods: The blood samples of suspected patients were cultured and PCR-sequencing was performed. An-tifungal susceptibility testing was done by the CLSI M27-A4 document.
Results: Four blood samples were identified as positive. Candida parapsilosis complex (3 out of 4, 75%) was the predomi- nant leading cause of candidemia. MIC values showed that all isolates were susceptible to itraconazole, amphotericin B, and 5-flucytosine.
Conclusion: It seems necessary to pay attention to Candida non-albicans species in antifungal therapy.
Recognition of effective Factors on Social Health in Iran (Systematic Review of Persian Research from 2019 to 2024)
Authors: Firouzabadi Mahdiye Barkhordari , Poodeh Sanaz Rahravi , Tabaeian Seyedeh Marzieh , Afshani Seyed Alireza
Published: December 2024

Background: Social health along with physical and mental health is one of the pillars of society's health. The issue of social health and its influential factors is one of the topics of attention among Iranian researchers in the last two decades. The aim of this research is to identify factors affecting social health in studies conducted in Iran. Current research can help researchers of different sciences, find research gaps, and discover new research fields in this subject.
Methods: The present study is a systematic review and all Persian articles related to the subject, during the period 2019 to 2024, with a systematic search among the available reliable databases, including Google Scholar, University Jihad Scientific Database (SID), Comprehensive portal of the humanities, Noor Specialized Magazines Database (Normagz), and Country Magazines Database (Magiran) using the keywords “Health” and “Social health” were retrieved. From 798 articles found, finally 71 articles were selected as the final researches related to the subject using Prisma checklist in terms of quality and according to the input criteria.
Results: Based on the results of this research, the influential factors on social health can be classified into 8 main groups including individual, occupational, economic, cultural, environmental, physical-psychological, social and religious-political factors. Among the main factors, the most number of studies were related to the social factors and among the sub-factors, respectively, social support, social trust, social security and religiosity have had the most positive impact on social health.
Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that among the various scientific fields, the majority of researches were conducted by researchers in the fields of sociology and social sciences, and among the factors affecting social health, the least number of studies were related to the environmental factors. Therefore, it is suggested that the researchers of fields that have contributed less to the promotion of this aspect of health in scientific sources take an effective step in this field of study, and in practical field, policy makers and social health researchers put this program at the top of their activities, and in planning system, education and policy of the country, special attention should be paid to this issue.
Experiences of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Undergraduates and Placement Educators of Blended Practice-Based Learning
Authors: Orton Helen , Deaves Amanda , Barnes-Brown Vikki , Edge Christopher , Rees Anna , Prescott Denise
Published: December 2024

Securing sufficient practice-based learning opportunities for health care students is long-standing and well documented and not unique to the United Kingdom (Beveridge & Pentland 2020; Martin et al., 2004). Increasing Allied Health Professional learners on healthcare programmes and the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the need for radical change and innovative ways of working to address placement capacity.  Due to the capacity pressures, blended practice-based placements were implemented in partnership with clinical collaboration across the Cheshire and Merseyside region. As this placement model had not been robustly tested, a decision was made to pilot this across different settings and ethical approval was sought and granted, to fully evaluate this approach.  The participants consisted of second-year physiotherapy and first- and second-year occupational therapy learners. The aims of the study were to: ascertain the value and experiences of a newly introduced blended placement-based learning through the anonymous collection of data from an online questionnaire (quantitative) and focus groups (qualitative) in response to challenges relating to placement capacity. 
Initial findings suggest there are benefits for learners including new skill acquisition, such as organisational and adaptability skills, the ability to influence change in patient care and improved clinical reasoning. Challenges for learners include the type and length of project not being comparable to their peers, reduced clinical time, perceived discrepancies in marking during the placement and opportunities to develop confidence.  Alternative placement models are required to meet ongoing capacity demands. This work adds to the growing body of placement related literature.

O acuri (Attalea phalerata Mart. ex Spreng) é uma palmeira de grande ocorrência no Pantanal e outras regiões brasileiras. Estudos demonstram que sua polpa é rica em óleo e carotenoides, precursores de vitamina A. Existem poucos estudos da polpa do acuri para fins alimentícios, quer como pró-vitamina A, ou corante em substituição ao β-caroteno sintético, embora os óleos vegetais ricos em antioxidantes estejam sendo amplamente estudados pela indústria farmacêutica e alimentícia. A estabilidade do óleo é um dos primeiros fatores que garantem a qualidade do produto, assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar a morfologia do fruto, a extração do óleo e avaliar a qualidade físico-química. Os frutos foram coletados em Várzea Grande-MT e exsicata depositada no herbário da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso (UFMT) (44310). Os frutos foram higienizados, despolpados, secos em estufa por circulação de ar a 40°C por 30h. O óleo foi obtido por extração sólido-liquido com hexano (1:3) durante 7 dias. Posteriormente, rotaevaporado e armazenado em frasco âmbar. Foram determinados em triplicata análises de índice de acidez, teores de ácidos graxos livres (AGL), índice de peróxidos e densidade relativa, segundo métodos do Instituto Adolf Lutz. O rendimento do óleo foi de 11,39%, apresentou acidez de 8,62 ± 0,57 mg NaOH/g (até 10,0mgNaOH/g), teor de AGL de 0,43% ± 0,01 de ácido oleico, índice de peróxidos de 0,99 ± 1,20mEq/kg (máximo 20mEq/kg) e densidade de 0,79 ± 0,01g/ml. O fruto da Attalea phalerata possui morfologia condizente com sua espécie e o óleo do seu mesocarpo apresentou estabilidade oxidativa, estando dentro dos padrões de identidade e qualidade estabelecidos pela legislação vigente para óleo vegetal.
Conforto térmico e ambiente urbano: avaliação preliminar no Conjunto Paulo VI, Belo Horizonte, MG

Áreas urbanas informais e densamente construídas na cidade de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil tendem a ficar mais quentes do que a cidade formal e podem apresentar condições de desconforto térmico durante todo o ano. Considerando a escassez de estudos nestas áreas, apresenta-se o caso do Conjunto Paulo VI, localizado em Belo Horizonte, com o objetivo de avaliar as condições de conforto térmico no horário mais quente de um dia de inverno. Dados microclimáticos foram levantados em 25 pontos da área e inseridos no programa Rayman PRO, que foi configurado com as características do entorno de cada ponto e da população aclimatada, para cálculo do índice de conforto térmico Temperatura Equivalente Fisiológica (PET).  Os resultados mostram que as condições de desconforto térmico nesta área estão relacionadas sobretudo à incidência solar nos recintos urbanos, sendo que as características construtivas da área acabam provocando altas temperaturas de superfície e radiante média. Considerando que a temperatura radiante média é uma variável microclimática que muito influencia o cálculo do PET, em dias ensolarados e de baixas velocidade do vento, medidas que possibilitem sua redução podem auxiliar na concepção de ambientes com condições térmicas mais favoráveis, diminuindo o desconforto térmico na área de estudo. Isto sugere que o sombreamento das áreas públicas pode ser a principal estratégia local para aumentar a resiliência do ambiente urbano à tendência de aquecimento e ao desconforto térmico.
OSV-MPC for Harmonic and Zero-Sequence Compensation in Four-Wire Off-Grid Microgeneration Systems Based on SEIG

Published: December 2024

This paper proposes a finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) strategy to address voltage regulation in isolated four-wire microgeneration systems based on self-excited induction generators. The FCS-MPC approach enables a simpler and more functional imbalance controller design. The controller determines the optimal switching vector through a cost function that employs a weighting factor for the different control variables. It effectively tracks distorted current references and prevents voltage imbalance, even in a system without frequency regulation. The employed inverter is a four-leg voltage source inverter, also known as a distribution static synchronous compensator, which provides the necessary reactive power and compensates for harmonic content along with the zero-sequence component, ensuring balanced three-phase voltages at the point of common coupling, even with unbalanced loads. The proposed control leverages the instantaneous power theory for synchronization, thereby replacing methods such as the phase-locked loop. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach and assess the performance of the system in accordance with power quality standards.
La regulación de la investigación científica en México: Un análisis de los marcos éticos y normativos desde la CONBIOÉTICA hasta los Comités de Ética en Instituciones de Educación Superior

Published: December 2024

La regulación de la investigación científica es crucial para asegurar la integridad, seguridad y ética en los procesos de investigación. Esto protege a los sujetos de estudio y garantiza la validez de los resultados. En México, la Comisión Nacional de Bioética (CONBIOÉTICA) juega un papel central al fomentar la práctica ética en la investigación y la protección de los derechos humanos.
La legislación aplicable a la ética y bioética de la investigación científica en México incluye normativas específicas, como la Ley General de Salud y un conjunto de Normas Oficiales Mexicanas, que establecen directrices claras para la investigación en seres humanos. Es de vital importancia que las instituciones públicas y privadas que realizan investigación científica la conozcan y cumplan, generando una cultura de respeto a la dignidad humana sustentada en la ética y la bioética.

Art in public utility buildings – an example of a collection in an international juridical institution
Authors: Hojny Paulina
Published: December 2024

The article tries to highlight the phenomenon of integrating art collections into public buildings, focusing on the example of an international juridical institution exhibiting art from different countries. The motivation for collecting art in such spaces is often to improve the aesthetics of the building, to promote diverse perspectives and reflections through art. The creation of this unique collection in the late 1960s was a pioneering initiative undertaken 50 years ago by the European Court of Justice based in Luxembourg and has since been adopted by other international European institutions. The exhibition of art in public buildings can be considered from the perspective of social capital or the dimension of the sociology of art. The motives are not always obvious and the social influences remain unspecified, there is also an aspect of the historical context of the selection of artists and their works and diplomacy through art.
