La Noción de Comunicación Transdisciplinaria
Authors: Callaos Nagib , Leon Cristo
Published: December 2024

En este artículo trataremos de la noción de "Comunicación Transdisciplinaria", y enfatizamos, en lo posible, en la importancia de clarificar términos como "interdisciplinario" y "transdisciplinario" para mejorar la comunicación, especialmente debido a la polisemia y las connotaciones contextuales de estas palabras. Trataremos de subrayar que el término "transdisciplinaria" es un adjetivo que califica al sustantivo "comunicación", y hereda todos los predicados de este último, de acuerdo a la Lógica de Predicados, basada en la Lógica Categorial de Aristóteles o de la "Lógica de términos" como también es conocida. Por otro lado ejemplos como las matemáticas o los lenguajes de programación ilustran que tener aplicaciones transdisciplinarias no equivale a ser efectivo para la comunicación transdisciplinaria. El artículo sugiere métodos para una traducción activa de términos técnicos, destacando que esta requiere entender el contexto y el contenido, y no se trata solo de manejar idiomas. Se trata de una traducción activa y no pasiva. La traducción activa puede ser útil incluso dentro de un mismo idioma, al adaptar conceptos para audiencias de distintas disciplinas o contextos sociales. También propondremos el uso del inter-textualismo como herramienta para facilitar la comunicación técnica en contextos transdisciplinarios. Y se enfatiza en la diferencia entre conocer y entender, tomando como referencia 1) la famosa frase atribuida a Albert Einstein: "Si no puedes explicarlo de manera simple, no lo entiendes lo suficientemente bien", y 2) la metodología de aprender enseñando de Richard Feynman. Ambos destacan la importancia de entender para comunicar efectivamente con ejemplos, que incluyen explicar ideas complejas como la mecánica cuántica a públicos no especializados. En síntesis, en el artículo buscamos promover una comunicación transdisciplinaria efectiva basada en claridad conceptual, amplia comprensión y adecuado entendimiento, así como en vias de traducción activa, entre los lenguajes intra- o inter-disciplinarios y lenguajes trans-disciplinario.
Kûfe Nahiv Ekolünde Bir Öncü: Muâz el-Herrâ ve İlmî Kişiliği
Authors: Parlak Cengiz
Published: December 2024

Kûfe şehri İslâm’ın erken dönemlerinden itibaren dinî ilimlerle iştigal edip bu ilimleri geliştirmesiyle ön plana çıkmış bir şehirdir. Bu ilimler ilk başlarda dinî ilimler ile sınırlıyken İslâm coğrafyasının genişlemesi sonucu giderek çeşitlenmeye başlamıştır. Zira Arapların Bizans ve Sasani imparatorluklarıyla karşılaşması sadece mücadeleyi doğurmamış, onların kültürleriyle tanışmalarını da sağlamıştır. Bu temas sonucu İslâm dünyasındaki ilim havzası farklı kültürlerdeki ilimlerle dolmaya başlamıştır. Bu coğrafî genişlemenin olumlu tarafları olduğu gibi olumsuz yönleri de olmuştur. Bu olumsuz yönlerden biri de fethedilen topraklardaki yabancı halklarla karışan Arapların dillerinin bozulması ve bu bozulmanın Kur’ân okuyuşuna da sirayet etmesidir. Bu olumsuz duruma karşı Basra şehrinde nahiv ilmi ile ilgili çalışmalar ortaya çıkmış ve bu çalışmalar bir asır sonra Kûfe şehrinde görülmüştür. Kûfe şehrinde de ilgi gören nahiv ilmi ile ilgili Kûfeli nahivcilerin yoğun ve yenilikçi çalışmaları sonucunda Kûfe nahiv ekolü teşekkül etmiştir. Kûfe nahvinin ekolleşmesinde en büyük rolü Kisâî ve öğrencisi Ferrâ oynamıştır. Kisâî ve Ferrâ’dan önce de Kûfe’de nahiv çalışmaları ve dersleri olsa da bu çabalar ekolleşmeyi sağlayacak veya Basra nahiv ekolüyle rekabet edecek düzeyde olmamıştır. Bu dönemde ön plana çıkan isimlerden biri de Muâz el-Herrâ’dır. Hayatı hakkında fazla malumat olmayan Muâz el-Herrâ; nahiv, sarf, dil, tefsir, hadis, kıraat ve şiir gibi ilim dallarıyla ilgilenmiştir. Ayrıca Muâz el-Herrâ, Kûfe nahvinin erken dönemlerinde nahivle iştigal edip dersler vermesi ve Kûfe nahvinin ekolleşmesini sağlayan Kisâî ve Ferrâ gibi âlimlere hocalık yapması bakımından Kûfe’nin nahiv tarihinde göze çarpan önemli şahsiyetlerden biri olmuştur. Bu çalışmada ülkemizde kendisiyle ilgili müstakil bir çalışmaya rastlamadığımız Muâz el-Herrâ’nın hayatı, kaynaklara yansıdığı kadarıyla ilmî kişiliği ve görüşleri hakkında malumat sunulmuş ve sarf ilminin kurucusu olup olmadığı konusu irdelenmiştir.

IMMEDIATE OBJECT SPOTTING
Authors: Parthasarathy Mr.Logaiyan , S SRIRAM , S HARI HARAN
Published: December 2024

Object Spotting has become one of the most essential and challenging tasks in computer vision,
particularly in the context of deep learning advancements. This paper reviews the evolution of object detection
techniques, highlighting how deep neural networks have transformed the field. We classify the state-of-the-art
detection algorithms into three main categories: anchor-based, anchor-free, and transformer-based detectors,
each with distinct methodologies for identifying objects in images. This survey includes a comparison of key
convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures used for object detection, evaluating their speed-accuracy
trade-offs, quality metrics, and training strategies. We discuss the strengths and limitations of these models and
offer insights into the future directions of research in object spotting. In parallel, immediate object spotting using
OpenCV has gained prominence for its ability to identify and localize objects within live video streams,
particularly by leveraging pre-trained models like YOLOv3. This approach processes each video frame in real
time, with preprocessing steps such as resizing and normalization to ensure compatibility with the deep learning
model. YOLOv3’s efficiency enables it to detect and classify objects quickly, drawing bounding boxes around
detected objects and displaying them in real time. This project highlights how combining OpenCV with deep
learning models can achieve effective, scalable object spotting while ensuring detection accuracy. The paper
also explores the challenges and potential future advancements in improving detection accuracy, robustness, and
compatibility with modern hardware systems for diverse applications.

Authors: Tulsyan Anjali , Dave Dr. Sumita
Published: December 2024

This study explores the transformative role of social media in modern recruitment practices, with a specific focus on
Sarda Group's "Vachan" initiative. Social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter have redefined
traditional hiring by enabling broader candidate reach, real-time engagement, and enhanced employer branding.
Leveraging a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative analysis of social media recruitment data and qualitative
interviews with HR managers, the research highlights how Sarda Group has used these platforms to attract talent,
streamline recruitment, and align hires with organizational culture and values. The findings reveal that social media
improves recruitment efficiency, enhances employer visibility, and provides insights into candidate profiles, enabling
better hiring decisions. However, challenges such as data privacy, potential biases, and ethical considerations persist.
This study concludes that while social media is a powerful tool for recruitment, organizations must continuously adapt
strategies to address emerging challenges and optimize its use responsibly. The insights provide a framework for
leveraging social media effectively in recruitment, emphasizing transparency, ethical practices, and strategic integration.
Factors Influencing Selection of Dairy Products by Retailers with Special Reference to Amul - A Study in Raipur
Authors: Wadhera Abhishek , Dave Dr. Sumita
Published: December 2024

This report summarizes the comprehensive analysis of the behavior of retailers, product range, and promotion strategies
by the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies in the dairy products industry. The study was done during a
two-month internship at Amul, with an objective to get practical knowledge about the distribution, marketing, and
sales activities of FMCG companies through General Trade, Modern Trade, and Horeca channels. These considerations
include profit margins, available products, reliable supply chain, and brand equity to arrive at a conclusion. Thereby,
findings suggest the preference of retailers for trusted brands by the consumers having quality assurance and consistent
supplies because of the perishability aspect related with dairy products such as milk, curd, and paneer.
In addition, kiosk events, wall paintings, and shutter advertisements have proven to have a positive effect on the
visibility of the brand and engagement of the consumers with the brand, thus affecting the decision of retailers to stock.
Shelf space allocation was also observed to depend on consumer demand, brand promotions, and product
differentiation in competitive retail environments. Through market visits and retailer feedback, the study provided
actionable recommendations to strengthen Amul's brand presence and optimize product turnover. This internship
emphasized the importance of close relationships and support mechanisms from strong retailers in fostering brand
loyalty and market growth in the FMCG industry.

Published: December 2024

La anemia en la población pediátrica es un problema de salud pública que repercute en el desarrollo físico y cognitivo de los niños. La principal causa de anemia se debe a deficiencia de hierro, pero hay muchas otras causas que deben descartarse. La frecuencia de casos varía a lo largo de los diferentes países del continente americano, incluso en un mismo país la frecuencia cambia entre zonas, conteniendo la mayor cantidad de casos aquellos países o zonas dentro de un país que tienen determinantes sociales tales como: pobreza, baja escolaridad de los padres, baja disponibilidad de nutrientes en la dieta, entre otros. El presente estudio determinó la frecuencia de casos de anemia que se presentaron en un semestre en un Área de Salud ubicada en el Gran Área Metropolitana de Costa Rica. Se determinó que la frecuencia es similar a la presentada en las zonas costeras del país, pero elevada para tratarse de un centro de salud cercano a la capital. Al comparar los resultados con lo reportado por la OMS y la OPS a nivel mundial y regional respectivamente, se tiene un resultado similar al regional.
Enemies Inside: European Populism and Dimensions of Euroscepticism
Authors:   The State University of Rio de Janeiro (IESP-UERJ), Tostes Anna Paula
Published: December 2024

The article seeks to investigate the EU crises impacting electoral support for new right-wing and left-wing extremist ideologies with populist characteristics. We examine populist political parties’ performances in national elections in 15 Western European countries to understand better the current state of specific and diffuse Euroscepticism (Kopecky & Mudde, 2002). Finally, we confirm that Euroscepticism increases in periods of crisis and can be identified as expressions of those contesting EU policies related to the economy, specifically, or social and political integration when it encompasses a more generalized attitude against the EU.

Trilobite thin section analysis clarifies matrix separation properties
Authors: Rojo Maximo Alfonso , Qviller Atle Jorstad , Castro Nélia , Hammer Øyvind
Published: December 2024

Mechanical preparation of trilobite and other calcitic fossils in carbonates depends on fossil-matrix separation properties. In this pilot study, thin sections with trilobite fossils from the Ordovician of Norway and the Devonian of Morocco were investigated to identify the mineralogical basis for separation differences, using petrographic microscopy as well as semi-quantitative elemental analysis and element mapping under the scanning electron microscope. The results show that the matrix is composed of fine-grained calcite (CaCO3) together with silicates, i.e., impure limestone with a clastic component. The trilobite specimens are composed of calcite, often in the form of large euhedral crystals. A thin layer of different composition was found along the boundaries between trilobite fossils and their host rock in well-separating specimens. Silica and sometimes barium sulphate were identified in these thin layers. We conclude that partial silicification at the surface of fossils facilitates separation during mechanical preparation.
Testing the Sensitivity of Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) to the Regional Tectonic Strain Field in Granite Plutons; Insights From Two Orogen-scale Studies
Authors:   School of Geography Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, B15 2TT, UK, Knight Hazel , Stevenson Carl , Maffione Marco , McCarthy William , Burton-Johnson Alex , Lawrence Anya
Published: December 2024

Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) fabrics within many individual granite plutons have previously been interpreted as recording the regional syn-magmatic tectonic strain field. To test this hypothesis, we compiled a regional database of AMS data from multiple granite complexes across two orogens, the French Massif Central and the British and Irish Caledonides, and critically evaluated the degree to which the magnetic fabric of the granite plutons recorded the known, regional tectonic strain. AMS fabrics from nine plutons from the French Massif Central show that all intrusions recorded the syn-magmatic late Variscan extensional collapse, with the maximum susceptibility axes (i.e., magnetic lineation) aligned with the NW-SE regional stretching direction. AMS fabrics from ten late Caledonian ‘Newer Granite’ plutons appear to reliably record the changing tectonic regimes between 430 and 390 Ma, including the switch from transpression to transtension following Iapetus closure, and then the return to transpression following the onset of the Acadian Orogeny at 400 Ma. This study indicates that comparisons between AMS fabrics and regional tectonics is best achieved qualitatively by comparing the orientation of the susceptibility axes to the known strain field, and more quantitatively through Woodcock analysis. Overall, our results indicate that pluton-scale AMS fabrics from multiple complexes spaced across an orogen can record a complex and changing regional tectonic strain field. This indicates there is significant potential to utilise pluton-scale AMS studies, alongside precise geochronological ages, to refine the timings of an orogen’s tectonic evolution.

Authors:   Tourism Bachelor Study Program, Faculty of Tourism, University of Udayana, Bali, Indonesia, Saputra I Gede Gian
Published: December 2024

This study explores the planning, packaging, and marketing phases of digitizing products for tourist villages. These phases are considered fundamental for product mapping in tourist villages, culminating in the digital representation of the products. It is crucial to optimally prepare human resources for these digitization stages to avoid rural communities' ignorance. The purpose of this study is to determine whether tourist villages are prepared to utilize digital planning, packaging, and marketing, given their current state.

The primary data collection for this study employed a consultative approach using focus group discussions (FGD) in conjunction with the workshop method. Four rounds of data collection were conducted, focusing on the following specific themes: digital marketing, the Godevi digital platform system, tour packages for tourist villages, and governance for tourist villages. Godevi, the partner for this tourist village market localization initiative, served as the main unit of analysis. The manager of a tourist village in Round 25 was particularly chosen to be an informant for this investigation.

According to this study, twenty-five tourist villages required assistance during the planning phase. Nonetheless, tourist communities can offer trip packages that align with the previously developed product mapping. Product box accompaniment is still required. Conversely, in the stage of digital marketing, tourist villages are deemed less proficient in utilizing the necessary systems.

Horses and cows have long been domesticated animals in Indonesia, one of which is at the Flores Bajawa Agricultural College. Horse and cow manure, which are solid waste products generated from metabolism, can generally pollute the environment, so they need to be processed. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the utilization of horse and cow manure waste in the production of manure fertilizer and biogas. Manure is usually made from liquid or solid livestock waste mixed with food scraps, which will later function as humus. Biogas is a gas produced from organic waste such as animal and human manure stored in an airtight environment. The purpose of this research is to understand the utilization and processing of horse and cow manure waste into fertilizer and biogas. The methods used in this research are observation and experimentation. Fertilizer is made from a mixture of horse and cow manure. Meanwhile, biogas from horse and cow manure is produced with three treatments and various fermentation periods of 7, 14, and 21 days. One way to process horse and cow manure waste is to convert it into organic fertilizer and biogas. The fertilizer and biogas that have been produced are used to enrich agriculture and also as a source of fuel. The longer the fermentation time of the fertilizer and biogas, the better the nutrient content of the fertilizer and the greater the volume of gas produced in the biogas production process.

DIGITALIZING THE PERFORMING ARTS DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN LATVIA: TRANSFORMATIONOR SURVIVAL TACTICS?
Authors: Muktupāvela Rūta , Laķe Anda
Published: December 2024

The article seeks to answer the question of whether the transformation and acceleration of digital content in performing arts during the COVID-19 pandemic are determined situatively or are a naturally stable trend initiated by the development of ICT. It focuses on the theatre industry in order to understand whether theatre performances in the digital environment and the use of digital elements in performing arts do not create a confrontation with the necessary sense of physical presence.The research data showed that the practices of using digital environment elements and digital technologies in the creation of theatre performances were both 1) a short-term solution, as it allowed staging a play, working with actors remotely, as well as creating products that are available to the audience in conditions of distancing requirements, and 2) gave an acceleration to the spread of digital innovations in the theatre industry in general, which was especially manifested in the works of directors who are open to the search for new experimental forms and the ambition of artistic excellence in theatre art, thus generating a long-term development potential. On the one hand, the sense of presence, including physical presence and simultaneity, is still recognized as the most essential feature of theatre and also a certain measure of quality. On the other hand, it is recognized that the possibilities of digital solutions, including artificial intelligence and other technological resources, may also change and erase the boundaries between the real and digital environments in performing arts as well.
BUFFER FRINGE PERFORMING ARTS FESTIVAL:CREATING AND CURATING BEYOND THE LIMINAL FRAGILITYOF BUFFER ZONES IN CYPRUS
Authors: Soganci Nihal , Evangelou Ellada
Published: December 2024

The Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival was born out of the contested and fragile space in between border lines, the buffer zone in Nicosia, Cyprus. This paper will address the Festival’s enactment of a new understanding of affective space that can enable resistance and co-creation beyond the liminality of a post-conflict buffer zone (in Nicosia and beyond) through the pandemic in 2020–2021, and 2022. As we will explore the Festival’s role in creating dialogue between the space and narrative layers of melancholia and nostalgia beyond the rupture that the division has produced through collaborative and process-based approaches, we will unpack the role art and co-creation can play at a moment and a space of transition to produce alternative affective agency. Within an already contested geography, 2020 brought along the pandemic and the closure of crossing points in Cyprus which paused all planned activity and demonstrated the fragility of contact between communities and artists, whilst simultaneously producing new possibilities. Buffer Fringe 2020 was one of the few artistic platforms in Cyprus and globally to have adapted and materialized a hybrid festival, while also developing interdisciplinary and innovative methodologies. Encouraging a decolonizing agenda and embedding creativity into a social process, the paper also looks into the public space intervention in the recently opened part of Famagusta in 2021, consequently touching upon the collective curatorial approach of the Festival in 2022 as embodiments of a new understanding of space that can enable resistance and co-creation beyond liminal fragility.

Authors: Kristāla Ance , Cērpa Lote Katrīna , Ozola Sabīne
Published: December 2024

The article presents findings of a collaborative arts-based research project titled “A Journey to Utopia” undertaken by a group of early-career sociologists and artists. By examining qualitative data collected throughout the project, the article aims to illuminate unprecedented outcomes of arts-based research engagement and its impact on emerging artists. The project facilitated professional identity exploration and reflexivity, revealing the intricate and delicate process of becoming an artist. The crucial findings demonstrate the mutually beneficial effects of collaborative arts-based research. The study found that initially none of the research participants self-identified as artists, and it was only through external validation during the project that they subsequently internalised and accepted this label. Artists discovered new approaches to the creative process, lending from researchers the ability to scrutinise every aspect of the issue and engage in perpetual reflexivity. Undertaking arts-based research gave artists the vocabulary to express themselves and the ability to conceive and actualize their ideas in a more grounded manner.

However, a knowledge gap exists concerning the role and impact of empathy among college students, particularly Black/African American students at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). This research aims to address this gap by examining those students’ empathy levels and their association with academic achievement. The study found relatively low levels of empathy and a negative association between empathy and academic performance. Further research is needed for a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between empathy and academic achievement among HBCU students.

Objective: Development of an algorithm for studying the extrema of a function in the polar coordinate system and its application for curve analysis.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study of curves was developed on the basis of the general theoretical foundations of mathematics, geometric problems, and tasks from mechanics, physics, natural sciences, and engineering. In the modern world, the study of curves brings significant benefits to many fields, particularly in construction and mechanical engineering.
 
Method: The main methods of research were analysis, synthesis and methods of mathematical analysis of the study using a derivative.
 
Results and Discussion: The research indicates the peculiarities of the concept of extremum in different coordinate systems. The coordinates of the curve point in the Cartesian coordinate system are defined as a function of φ. The extremum of these functions correspond to the extremum of the Cartesian coordinate system of this curve relative to the axis of the abscissa and ordinate.
 
Research implications: The paper presents an algorithm for the method of finding the extreme points of a curve in polar and Cartesian coordinate systems simultaneously. This allows you to find additional points for plotting curves using the analytical method.
 
Originality/Value: The curves are investigated as the functions in the polar system of coordinates.

La insulina es una hormona producida por el páncreas, esta permite que las células absorban y utilicen la glucosa como energía para el organismo. Las alteraciones de esta generalmente están asociadas con la obesidad, siendo esta una de los principales factores de riesgo de muchas enfermedades crónicas, entre esas se incluye a la diabetes, las enfermedades cardiovasculares, la hipertensión y los accidentes cerebrovasculares, haciendo que las células de los músculos, grasa o hígado no responden de forma adecuada a la insulina, haciendo que la glucosa de la sangre no sea absorbida fácilmente. El objetivo de la investigación fue Analizar niveles de insulina y obesidad en niños atendidos en el Hospital de niños Roberto Gilbert Elizalde, Guayaquil, 2023. Como metodología, se llevó un estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, descriptiva, además de ser un estudio sin riesgo, retrospectivo y transversal, en el que se estudiaron a 104 niños entre los 7 y 12 años. El 54.8% eran del género femenino. Un 24% tenían 9 años, además, el 75% presentó niveles altos de insulina, el 52.9% (IC95%: 42.8% - 62.8%) presenta una obesidad moderada. Por último, los niveles de insulina se relacionaron con la obesidad. Se concluyó lo siguiente, en los niños con obesidad, los niveles de insulina se presentaron en altas concentraciones, por otro lado, los niños presentaron más obesidad moderada que severa.

Números indicam um crescimento alarmante dos Transtornos Psiquiátricos entre crianças e adolescentes, sendo um deles, o Transtorno de Ansiedade. Quando não tratada ou tratada de forma inadequada, o indivíduo poderá sofrer com suas consequências durante sua vida adulta. A Psicanálise e a Teoria Cognitivo-Comportamental são duas das abordagens da Psicologia, utilizadas como métodos Psicoterapêuticos, na redução dos sintomas ansiosos e para que o indivíduo consiga um melhor desempenho biopsicossocial durante as fases do desenvolvimento humano. Dessa forma, esse artigo se propõe a trazer técnicas da TCC e da Psicanálise no tratamento do Transtorno de Ansiedade, como forma de ferramenta de estudo para profissionais que desejem ou atuem dentro de tais áreas da Psicologia, assim como, demonstrar a relevância do estudo do desenvolvimento da Ansiedade em crianças e adolescentes, trazendo informações de causalidades e de agravamentos de tal transtorno, durante o progresso da vida. O método utilizado na produção desse artigo foi de pesquisa bibliográfica de caráter exploratório, utilizando plataformas online de pesquisas científicas como, entre outras, o Google Acadêmico, o Scielo e o PePsic, além de livros científicos de validade qualificada tanto da Psicanálise quanto da TCC. Apesar desse assunto ser bastante discutido, quanto as Psicoterapias no tratamento do Transtorno de Ansiedade Infantojuvenil, fica evidenciado que estudar sobre fatores estressores na infância e adolescência é de suprema relevância, uma vez que, cada vez mais, esse público necessita de atendimento em saúde mental, muitas vezes incentivados pelos seus responsáveis, necessitando de profissionais atualizados e que, para além das técnicas, saibam identificar fatores estressores que possam contribuir para a prevenção do desenvolvimento das Psicopatologias nas fases iniciais da vida. Como resultados, alcançou-se a perspectiva de compreensão do tema abordado, bem como os dados significativos que tem sido amplamente divulgado sobre a ansiedade no Brasil. Concluiu-se que os resultados da pesquisa são satisfatórios para cumprir o papel de divulgação cientifica do tema, além de contribuir significativamente na formação dos alunos de Psicologia.
