Authors: Moran Guerrero Milton Rene , Diaz Cuaran Uriel Eusebio , Revelo Cuaspud Herman Alberto
Published: November 2024

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo principal la implementación de un vivero ecológico denominado “Bajo la Guandera” como estrategia pedagógica con los estudiantes de la Sede Educativa alto Sinaí para generar consciencia sobre la reforestación con la especie nativa (Clusia Flavioflora) en el Municipio de Potosí – Nariño. Esta investigación está enmarcada en el paradigma de investigación-acción (IA), que tiene como propósito impactar la comunidad que hace parte del estudio de manera significativa al término de su ejecución. La población que fue parte del estudio fue conformada por tres grupos etarios, el primero de niños entre los 5 y 10 años; el segundo, con adolescentes entre los 12 y 18 años y el tercero, de padres de familia entre los 38 y 67 años, quienes en la primera fase del estudio respondieron una entrevista con preguntas abiertas las cuales dieron espacio a una interpretación más amplia del nivel de conciencia ambiental que tenían antes de iniciar las estrategias que propone este proyecto. Los resultados del sondeo previo arrojaron que la mayoría de participantes no tenía bien fundamentadas las consecuencias de la tala de árboles con la afectación del ciclo del agua, que es vital para la conservación de las fuentes hídricas, por lo que se plantearon actividades pedagógicas para la aclaración de este tipo de conceptos, y el afianzamiento de prácticas responsables de reforestación como la del uso de plantas nativas. Se concluyó entonces qué la inserción de una estrategia pedagógica como la creación de un vivero ecológico, que fue asumido desde su concepción como un acto colectivo, pondría en un solo estadio de comprensión a los tres grupos etarios, lo que hizo que a través de la practica en conjunto se genera una conciencia ambiental a nivel individual y colectivo que impactó de manera positiva el Cerro San Francisco.

Published: November 2024

En Ecuador, las PYMES desempeñan un papel crucial en la economía, representando el 93,67% de las empresas activas en 2022 y contribuyendo con el 80% del PIB. Sin embargo, enfrentan barreras significativas como el acceso limitado al financiamiento, burocracia, y carencias en la planeación estratégica y adopción tecnológica, que afectan su rentabilidad y sostenibilidad. La rentabilidad de estas empresas depende tanto de factores internos (gestión eficiente de costos, innovación y formación del personal) como externos (entorno económico, políticas gubernamentales y competencia desleal). Esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la relación entre la rentabilidad, medida por la utilidad neta, con respecto a la deuda total y costo de ventas, basándose en la Teoría de Modigliani y Miller (MM). Se utilizó un enfoque mixto, combinando revisión documental y análisis cuantitativo mediante regresión múltiple. Los datos provienen de 3,041 microempresas seleccionadas en sectores comerciales, agrícolas y de servicios. Los resultados indican que la rentabilidad no está directamente influenciada por el nivel de deuda ni los costos, sino por factores internos y externos. Esto valida teorías empresariales que destacan la necesidad de estrategias efectivas y apoyo gubernamental para mejorar la competitividad. Se concluye que es fundamental promover políticas que faciliten el financiamiento y reduzcan barreras operativas para potenciar el crecimiento de las PYMES.

Amorphous metal alloys (AMА) have high corrosion resistance, which can be significantly higher than that of stainless steels. Since ferromagnetic amorphous Fe-based alloys are widely used as soft magnetic materials, their operation is associated with the use of external magnetic fields. Such external influences can change, in particular, the corrosion resistance of amorphous materials.
In addition to permanent, amorphous materials can be under the influence of variable magnetic fields. Preliminary exposure in magnetic fields, in particular, alternating ones, can be used to modify AMА.
In this regard, electrochemical studies of AMА Fe80Si6B14 in various aggressive environments are appropriate. The search for optimal modes of modification to achieve the given physicochemical properties of the samples makes it possible to change their corrosion resistance.
The features of the corrosion resistance of the ribbon amorphous alloy Fe80Si6B14, obtained by the method of ultra-fast cooling of the melt, were studied, for which the contact and external surfaces, which have different elemental composition and properties, are distinguished.
Electrochemical studies of AMА electrodes in 0.5 M aqueous solutions of NaCl, НCl and NaОН were carried out by the method of chronopotentiometry and cyclic voltammetry using the Jaissle Potentiostat-Halvanostat IPM 88 PC-R potentiostat.
The modification of samples of Fe80Si6B14 strip amorphous alloy was carried out by keeping them in an alternating magnetic field (frequency 50 Hz) for 0.5–3.0 hours.
The corrosion resistance of the Fe80Si6B14 strip amorphous alloy modified by an alternating magnetic field in 0.5 M aqueous solutions of NaCl, NaOH and HCl was investigated by various electrochemical methods. It is shown that the corrosion resistance of the tape significantly depends on the duration of the modification and the nature of the aggressive environment. Higher corrosion resistance of Fe80Si6B14 samples modified by a variable magnetic field in 0.5 M aqueous HCl solution was established. The ribbon amorphous Fe80Si6B14 alloy shows exceptional durability to long-term modification in an alternating magnetic field with the subsequent stay of the samples in 0.5 M aqueous solutions of NaOH and HCl.
SYNTHESIS OF 2-[(5-ARYL-2-FURYL)METHYLENE]-5,6-DIPHENYLIMIDAZO[2,1-B][1,3]THIAZOL-3-ONES

Condensed five-membered nitrogen- and sulfur-containing heterocycles continues to attract the attention of synthetic chemists with high reactivity and a variety of chemical transformations. Due to a wide range of biological activity azole derivatives are proposed for use in modern medicine and biotechnology. It is known that compounds which contains imidazole fragment are part of a number of drugs such as: naphthizine, dibasole, metronidazole. 5-Arylfuran derivatives also have the broad spectrum of biological activity. Convenient method for preparation of arylfuran compounds is a catalytic arylation of furan derivatives with arenediazonium salts under the conditions of Meerwein reaction.
In this work the initial 5-arylfuran-2-carbaldehyde were obtained by furan-2-carbaldehyde arylation in the presence of CuCl2 as a catalyst. These aldehydes can be involved in three-component reaction with derivatives of azoles which were described above.
Tandem and domino reactions, as well as multicomponent reactions, are increasingly used in the practice of organic synthesis. Multicomponent reactions make possible to synthesize target compounds with greater efficiency, atom economy and contribute to the introduction of the concept of "green" chemistry.
We investigated the interaction of 5-aryl-2-furancarbaldehydes with chloroacetic acid and 4,5-diphenyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazole-2-thione. Experiments have shown that this reaction occurs when the reagents are heated in glacial acetic acid and in the presence of fused sodium acetate. In these conditions, chloroacetic acid is cyclized with 4,5-diphenyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazole-2-thione. Under the same conditions, the active methylene group of the thiazolidinone ring formed reacts with aldehydes. As a result 2-[(5-aryl-2-furyl)methylene]-5,6-diphenylimidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazol-3-ones are formed.
Thus, a synthetic way is proposed for the construction of hybrid structures in which the imidazo [2,1-b][1,3]thiazole fragment is coupled with arylfuran, which makes them perspective objects for screening for biological activity.

Published: November 2024

This paper presents a novel surveillance system designed to identify the health status of oil palm trees by leveraging MATLAB object detection and deep learning techniques. The study aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of palm health detection by integrating MATLAB's initial object recognition with advanced deep learning algorithms. The initial phase of the research focuses on elucidating the challenges associated with detecting palm tree health issues using conventional image processing methods in MATLAB. Results indicate that traditional MATLAB object detection methods encounter difficulties in accurately identifying palm tree crowns and assessing their health status due to various factors such as the complexity of crown morphology, lighting variations, environmental conditions, limited feature discrimination, reliance on handcrafted features, and challenges in adaptation and generalization. Subsequently, the study proposes a second stage to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of palm tree health detection through the implementation of a deep learning approach using Faster R-CNN, addressing the limitations identified in the initial phase. Analysis of experimental results demonstrates a rapid increase in accuracy to nearly 100% early in the training process, indicating efficient learning and classification capabilities of the model. Moreover, a significant decrease in Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) at the outset of training signifies a reduction in prediction errors, followed by stabilization at a low level, suggesting that the model's predictions closely align with actual targets in the training data. Furthermore, the loss graph exhibits a similar trend to the RMSE graph, corroborating the effectiveness of RMSE as a common loss function for regression problems. Overall, this research contributes to the advancement of oil palm tree health detection systems, providing valuable insights for future developments in agricultural surveillance and monitoring technologies.

Published: November 2024

In this work, series of bismuth-tungsten-borate oxide glasses: (90-x)B2O3 – 10WO3 –xBi2O3, x= 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, were produced using conventional high temperature melt-quenching method. The obtained glasses show reduction in opacity and become denser as bismuth concentration increases. The molar volume also increases which may explain due to structural deformation of the glass matrix by the bismuth atoms once its concentration increases. In order to understand the bismuth effect on radiation shielding, we investigated the physical and ionizing shielding characteristics within energy range of 0.015 until 15 MeV.  The mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), Half-Value-Layer (HVL) and Mean-Free-Path (MFP) parameters were fully explored throughout the study for photon shielding and advanced defense and medical applications.

Yazar olmak; mevcut sanatsal yazında ağırlıklı bir biçimde kişisel yeteneğe bağlı bir durum olarak ele alınmaktadır. Söz konusu yaklaşım; yazarların edebiyat ortamında kabul, tanınırlık ve itibar kazanma süreçlerini incelerken sosyal ve kültürel sermayenin oynadığı kritik rolün gözden kaçırılmasına sebebiyet vermektedir. Bu rolün anlaşılabilmesi için edebiyat kamusuna dahil olmuş kişilerin tecrübeleri kadar söz konusu ağa girme girişimleri sonuçsuz kalan bireylerin deneyimleri üzerinde de durmak gerekmektedir. Çalışmamız; edebiyat alanında “yazar” olarak tanınırlık kazanmak isteyen fakat yazdıklarını güç ve itibar sahibi yayınevlerine bastırma imkânı bulamayan yazarların kurdukları bir ağ olan “Genç Yazarlar Derneği”ni Pierre Bourdieu ve Nick Crossley’in kavramsal araçlarını kullanarak incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Analiz verileri derneğe üye olan yazarlar ile yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış mülakatlara dayanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışmada ilkin edebiyatı gerçekleştiren toplumsal ilişkiler ağı üzerinde durulacak, ikinci olarak mevcut sanatsal yazının yazarın edebi itibarının oluşumunda ağların etkisini gizlemeye yönelik eğilimi incelenecek, son olarak Genç Yazarlar Derneği üyelerinin yazarlık tecrübelerinin edebiyat ortamında mevcut yayınevleri ağlarına dahil ol(a)mama sürecinde gönderimde bulunduğu anlam haritaları açığa çıkarılmaya çalışılacaktır.
CHILD LABOUR AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ILO'S PROGRAM ENDING CHILD LABOUR BY 2025
Authors: Bekik Mehmet Emin
Published: November 2024

Child labour, which has been observed throughout human history, continues to persist today. However, the presence of children in the workforce negatively impacts their emotional, physical, and social development. Among these negative effects, perhaps the most significant is that children, due to the necessity of working, are unable to continue their education and therefore lack the necessary skills and qualifications for the rest of their lives. Both preventing child labour and developing binding norms in this area have been the focus of significant efforts by international organizations such as the United Nations and the ILO. One of these efforts is the ILO's program aimed at Ending Child Labour by 2025. This study discusses the effectiveness of this program. In this context, the program remains a target and is concluded to be more of a dream than a reality in terms of eradicating child labour.

Sexual violence against women is a global problem that has a significant impact on the physical, mental and social impacts of victims. One of the root causes of sexual violence is a lack of knowledge about sexuality, the concept of consent, and an imbalance in gender norms. This research is aimed at analyzing the important role of sexuality education in preventing sexual violence against women at various levels of society. The legal research method aimed at is qualitative empirical, which integrates normative legal approaches with social law. This approach is stated as an effort to identify indicators of problems that may be related to the laws and regulations that apply to society. The research findings indicate that sexuality education plays a very crucial role in carrying out efforts to prevent sexual violence against women. By providing the public with an understanding of sexuality, consent, sexual rights and gender equality, this education can reduce incidents of sexual violence and create a society that is more aware and respectful of the rights of each individual. Although there are various challenges in implementation, collaboration between government, educational institutions, parents and communities can strengthen sexuality education as an effective means of preventing sexual violence.
Dampak Monopoli Jasa Pengiriman dalam E-commerce terhadap Hak Konsumen: Kajian Peran Lembaga Perlindungan Konsumen
Authors: Octavo Vito Jonathan , Gunadi Ariawan
Published: November 2024

Technological advances have driven major changes in various sectors, including the economy, through the digitalization of trade known as e-commerce. E-commerce introduces virtual interactions between producers and consumers, offering the convenience of efficient transactions. However, this phenomenon also raises new challenges, such as the potential for monopoly of delivery services that can harm consumers. This practice often limits consumers' rights to choose services such as delivery services according to their needs. This study aims to analyze the impact of monopoly of delivery services by e-commerce on consumer rights in Indonesia, as well as review the role of consumer protection institutions. Based on a normative approach with a prescriptive analysis method.
South Africa’s Non-Aligned Stance on the Russia-Ukraine War: Implications on South Africa’s Economic Trade Relations
Authors: Ntlailane Thoriso , Hofisi Costa
Published: November 2024

The foreign policy of non-alignment adopted by various states during the Russia-Ukraine war has been interpreted differently in the landscape of global politics. One perspective views non-alignment as tacit support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while the other sees it as a way for countries to protect their national interests. The study explored the non-alignment stance of the South African government on the Russia-Ukraine war and its effect on the economy of the state. It observed the trade relations that South Africa has with states that condemned the acts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Not only that but also, the trade relations of South Africa with states that used the non-alignment foreign policy in the Russia-Ukraine war. The response of South Africa’s markets to the non-alignment stance on the Russia-Ukraine war was also examined. The paper made use of the qualitative research method and secondary data. Furthermore, the study employed document analysis as a research technique. The study findings show that the non-alignment stance of South Africa had minimal and short-term implications for the country. However, the position of non-alignment by the South African government has been perceived to be controversial and supporting the actions of Russia in the war. The paper concluded that South Africa’s stance has minimal effect on the state’s economy. The study contributes to knowledge by demonstrating the implications of South Africa’s Non-Aligned Stance On The Russia-Ukraine War on South Africa’s Economic Trade Relations.

The occupations of the “other”: Case of Bohçaci (Boxčadži) Roma women in Türkiye
Authors: AÇA MUSTAFA
Published: November 2024

This research aims to examine the cultural representation of peddling, a longstanding occupation practiced by Bohçaci (Boxčadži) Roma women in Türkiye, who are part of various groups. The study investigates the occupation’s impact on socio-economic and cultural aspects of Turkish society, focusing on cultural identity, interaction with dominant identities, and the perception of the Roma as the “other.” Predominantly performed by Roma women who self-represent themselves primarily based on social rather than ethnic identity, peddling has, over time, become intertwined with the concept of the “other.” To explore the specific cultural heritage of the Roma and its broader position within Turkish society’s cultural landscape, a multidimensional analysis is proposed. The study examines the hypothesis that intergroup economic activities, including verbal communication, cultural behaviors, and marketing techniques significantly contribute to the flexibility or dissolution of boundaries between different cultural communities and identities within society.

Learning ethnic nomenclature in the practice of fieldwork among Romani people in Poland
Authors: WITKOWSKI MACIEJ , NOWICKA EWA
Published: November 2024

Over two decades of interpersonal, anthropological research within Romani communities in Poland, the authors have encountered a variety of linguistic practices reflecting self-definition `and identity. Against that backdrop, this paper focuses on the motives and strategies adopted by Romani leaders in their conscious choices between the denominations of
Romowie
and
Cyganie
. The authors intend to answer two questions: (1) Why do specific Romani individuals – Polish citizens – accept (or not) the word
Romowie
or
Cyganie
in specific situations; and (2) What significance does this phenomenon have for the relationship between Romani communities and the social majority? In addressing these queries, the authors note a detailed, situational construction of cultural reality – that is, a re-evaluation of the existing meaning as enacted both practically and subjectively. This text illustrates how individuals organize their actions independently, and endow objects with meaning via pre-existing ways of understanding found in the cultural order.

Job satisfaction and its contributing factors, relationship to economy, analysis among four types of organization
Authors: Gardiner Richard , Zubr Vaclav , Sokolova Marcela , Mohelska Hana
Published: November 2024

The study examines job satisfaction among workers in four types of organizations (Czech companies, foreign companies, transitory companies, and state institutions) in the Czech Republic. Using Spector’s determinants of job satisfaction, along with innovation and organizational support, a survey was conducted. The analysis involved multi-linear regression, mean, and standard deviation tests. Results show a positive correlation between job satisfaction and factors like communication, nature of work, co-worker relationships, working conditions, contingent rewards, supervision, promotion, and pay across all organizations. We also observed that innovation had a positive correlation with job satisfaction in foreign companies and state institutions, but the impact was not significant. However, there was a significant inverse relationship between innovation and job satisfaction in Czech and transitional companies, though not significant for transitional ones. Organizational support significantly impacted job satisfaction in Czech and transitional companies, but for foreign companies and state institutions, it was not significant. Consequently, the paper suggests that much attention should be given to the area with less satisfied parameters. This research can guide HR, managers, employers, and policymakers in enhancing worker satisfaction based on their abilities or contributions to organizational effectiveness and improving the organization’s economic situation.

Chromis abadhah (Teleostei, Pomacentridae), a new species of damselfish from mesophotic coral ecosystems of the Maldives
Authors: Rocha Luiz A. , Pinheiro Hudson T. , Najeeb Ahmed , Rocha Claudia R. , Shepherd Bart
Published: November 2024

A new species of Chromis (Teleostei, Pomacentridae) is described from four specimens collected between 95 and 110 m depth in mesophotic coral ecosystems in the Maldives, Indian Ocean. Chromis abadhahsp. nov. can be distinguished from all of its congeners by the following combination of characters: dorsal-fin rays XIII, 12–13; anal-fin rays II,11–12; pectoral-fin rays 17–18; tubed lateral-line scales 17; gill rakers 7+17–18 = 24–25; pearly white body with a large black marking covering the anterior two-thirds of the anal fin. The closest DNA barcode sequence (5.1% average uncorrected genetic distance on the mitochondrial COI gene), among those available, is Chromis woodsi, a similar mesophotic species known from the coastal western Indian Ocean (Somalia to South Africa). The new species is easily distinguished from C. woodsi by having 13 dorsal spines (versus 14 in C. woodsi), the absence of a black band on the base of the tail (present in C. woodsi), and by the genetic difference.
Les di animales de Servius (Commentaire à l’Énéide III, 168)
Authors: Dejardin Sylvain
Published: November 2024

Dans sa scholie Commentaire à l’Énéide III, 168, le grammairien Servius (ive-ve s. apr. J.-C.) évoque des actes cultuels qui, d’après sa source, Cornelius Labeo, permettraient à certains souffles vitaux de devenir des divinités. Ces dernières sont appelées les di animales et seraient les dieux Pénates et les lares uiales. En mettant cet extrait en relation avec un passage d’Arnobe, on peut affirmer que ces rituels étaient des sacrifices de sang d’animaux à des divinités spécifiques. Toutefois, la nature des victimes et des divinités qui recevaient le sacrifice n’est pas précisée et la consultation d’autres sources (Aulu-Gelle, Festus, etc.) ne permet que de proposer des hypothèses. L’évocation de rites étrusques permettant d’accéder à l’immortalité témoigne également de l’intérêt des érudits pour l’Etrusca disciplina et de son utilisation dans les débats entre les païens et les chrétiens. Enfin, la dernière réflexion abordée dans notre enquête est l’assimilation des dieux uiales et Pénates aux di animales.
