Violencia política de género y organismos electorales. Leyes, reglamentaciones y protocolos en América Latina
Authors: Albaine Laura
Published: October 2024

La visibilización del acoso y/o violencia política de género promovió el debate sobre la importancia de adoptar marcos regulatorios –legales y no legales– orientados a prevenir, atender y sancionar esta problemática. En América Latina, trece (13) países legislaron al respecto con el propósito de promover su prevención, atención y sanción. A su vez, en algunos de estos se adoptaron protocolos y/o reglamentaciones, siendo en ciertos casos prescriptos por las normas. En otros países que aún no adoptaron marcos legales, fueron establecidos protocolos de acción. Dentro de este marco, los organismos electorales se han constituido en instituciones clave a través de 1. establecer legalmente competencias institucionales; 2. actuar ante la debilidad del texto normativo; y 3. impulsar instrumentos regulatorios ante el vacío legal. Este trabajo de carácter descriptivo se propone analizar estos aspectos a través del análisis de las estrategias legales suscitadas en la región orientadas a abordar la violencia política de género –leyes específicas, leyes de violencia de género y/o normas que regulan la competencia político electoral–, a la vez de ciertos protocolos y reglamentaciones adoptados en la instancia electoral.
A construção da figura das feiticeiras como identidades de gênero no universo do Tribunal do Santo Ofício português (século XVI)
Authors: Reis Marcus Vinicius
Published: October 2024

A Inquisição Portuguesa não iniciou a repressão à feitiçaria em Portugal, pois já era objeto de intensos debates teológicos e jurídicos, incluindo o caráter de foro misto característico desse delito. No entanto, a organização progressiva do tribunal durante o século XVI integrou a feitiçaria à lista de crimes investigados pelos inquisidores, embora o foro citado tenha permanecido. Este estudo investiga as trajetórias de algumas das mulheres processadas pelo Santo Ofício por esse delito, argumentando que elas não apenas vivenciavam as suas identidades de gênero de feiticeiras por meio da fama de feiticeiras, mas também ganharam reconhecimento social e construíram espaços de relativa autonomia. Essas mulheres incluem Brites Frazão, Ana Álvares, Margarida Lourenço e Maria Gonçalves.

El ajuste al sistema científico-educativo: implicancias para los estudios de género
Authors: Suárez Tomé Danila
Published: October 2024

Este texto analiza las consecuencias de la presidencia de Javier Milei en el sistema científico y universitario argentino, centrando especialmente en el impacto sobre los estudios de género. La administración de Milei ha implementado significativos recortes presupuestarios al gasto público que afectan directamente la producción de conocimiento en Argentina y la educación universitaria. Estas medidas han provocado la paralización de numerosos proyectos científicos debido a la falta de financiación, han reducido el acceso a recursos esenciales en las universidades y una disminución sustancial en los ingresos de investigadores y educadores. El texto discute las implicaciones más amplias de estas políticas sobre las ciencias sociales y humanidades, especialmente vulnerables por la percepción de falta de retorno económico directo y sesgos ideológicos. La crítica se extiende a la tendencia global de socavar la libertad académica y el pensamiento crítico a través de restricciones financieras e ideológicas, enfatizando la necesidad de defender las contribuciones interdisciplinarias de los estudios de género dentro de la comunidad científica.

Griselda Álvarez: facing the trial of history beginning with memory
Authors: Domínguez Miranda Claudia Maribel
Published: October 2024

The aim of this article is to study the information and textual forms chosen by Griselda Álvarez Ponce de León to write Cuesta arriba. Memorias de la primera gobernadora (1992) and to face what she calls “the judgement of history”. I will use Leonor Arfuch’s theoretical model as a starting point. Arfuch suggests studying memory as a heterogeneous genre, where personal experience is considered more important than the event itself, which makes it possible to build an exemplary life that can be confronted by a historical review. These considerations will allow the analysis and interpretation of a writer whose discourse alternated between the personal memory confession and the government report to show her arduous journey towards the highest office in the course of strongly questioned pri mandates. Keywords: memoirs; government report; experience; exemplary life; judgement of history
An approach to the theme of homosexuality in the poetry of Abigael Bohórquez
Authors: Bustamante Bermúdez Gerardo
Published: October 2024

"His article briefly reviews the homosexual theme in the poetry of the Mexican writer Abigael Bohórquez, particularly that which he wrote during the 1960s and 1970s, which corresponds to the context of the emergence of sexual diversity movements in Mexico, who fought for the visibility and respect of non-heterosexual communities. The love and sexual discourse of the poet is reviewed as part of his personal struggle to write his freedom, both in the field of poetry and in the choice of love and homosexual practices. In recent years, Bohórquez poetry has been a subject of interest for specialized critics who, with different eyes and gradually, recognize the place that their contemporaries avoided.

Scatological absences and whispers in Fortunata y Jacinta
Authors: Zamora Juárez Andrés
Published: October 2024

"Spanish nineteenth-century Realism is afflicted by a paradox concerning scatological matters that has been so far neglected. On the one hand, one of the key foundations of realist poetics is the will to give textual expression to the totality of life and language, including foul words and repugnant things and deeds, the miseries of the soul and the body, both of the individual person and of society. On the other hand, concrete realist novels incur in the notable absence of an excremental component, a lack that constitutes a noncompliance with that programmatic ambition of totality. In general, that is the situation in Fortunata y Jacinta by Benito Pérez Galdós. The present essay attempts a reflection on this excremental absence using as points of departure a theoretical argument and a set of textual evidences. First, psychoanalytical and Marxist theories predicate the idea that what is not said, what is muted in a discourse, could become the cardinal element of that discourse and its contradictions, its psychological and ideological key. Second, starting with the controversial scene of Fortunata ́s dream, the text occasionally breaks its scatological silence through a series of excremental whispers of sorts that are indexes of the importance and the potential significance of excrement in the novel. Keywords: Pérez Galdós; reality; realism; scatology; dreams"

Authors: Cabrera Espinosa Claudia
Published: October 2024

"The aim of this paper is to make a comparative study between Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer’s legends and some of Emilia Pardo Bazán’s tales. For this purpose, a conceptualization of the terms legend, tale and legendary tale is elaborated in order to determine their similarities and differences. In order to establish the points of convergence and divergence between the stories of the Sevillian author and the author from A Coruña, we start from the articulation of the tales, their way of incorporating supernatural elements and their common influences, that is, Spanish and European legends, the tales of Edgar Allan Poe and some Spanish writers of the first half of the 19th century.Keywords: Spanish literature; unreality; modern short story; fantastic; gothic"

Published: October 2024

The role of infrastructure in promoting regional well-being has gained significant attention. Infrastructure is critical in integrating the regional economy, multiplying economic development, and improving quality of life. Effective decision-making is crucial to maximize the return on these capital investments. This study assesses infrastructure investments’ short-term and long-term impacts. Short-term efficiency is evaluated through the multiplier effect on other sectors, while long-term efficiency focuses on the influence on economic growth. A polynomial model is constructed using regression analysis based on investments in highway construction projects and the corresponding dynamics of gross territorial product in surrounding areas. This model explains the nature of the multiplier impact of transport infrastructure investments. This study significantly contributes to understanding how infrastructure investments can be strategically targeted to enhance economic growth and regional well-being, providing valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and professionals in economics, urban planning, and infrastructure development.
Visitor profile of enological tourism in Slovakia: Implications of the regional analysis of the demand for wine-themed experience stay
Authors: Bíziková Viktória , Psotová Ema
Published: October 2024

In recent years, enological tourism, also known as wine tourism, has emerged as a globally popular tourism product. The role of wine tourism in Slovakia is similarly significant, given the country’s favourable conditions for the development of wine tourism products. The objective of this study is to analyze the current demand for wine-themed experiences among tourists in the Nitra region. This paper presents a characterization of wine tourism based on an analysis of secondary sources. Following the processing of the initial findings from a demand-oriented questionnaire survey, the authors endeavor to delineate the profile of the wine tourism visitor by examining the demand for wine tourism from the vantage point of domestic consumers. It is the authors’ contention that an understanding of the profile of the wine tourism visitor is beneficial in optimising the provision of wine tourism products and stimulating the development of tourism infrastructure.

The effect of propane-butane gas mixture on volt-Ampere characteristic (VAX) of thin–layer sandwich structure Al-Ge33As17S35Se15-Te obtained by thermal evaporation method in vacuum was investigated. It has been established that under the influence of gas atoms, the oscillations observed in VAX gradually decrease and disappear. This result is explained by the accumulation of neutral gas atoms into lower atomar pores. It has been shown that neutral gas atoms collected in pores lead to weakening of thermal-field ionization processes of U--centers, and to increase the speed of periodic deflection of charge carriers by these centers, which leads to an increase in the resistance of the sample.
A través de los ojos de Sam Gifford en El día que terminó el siglo: su visión de la II Guerra Mundial y la realizada por el cine bélico estadounidense hasta la actualidad
Authors: Mas Aixalà Enric
Published: October 2024

Desvelamos cómo la novela The Day the Century Ended de Francis Irby Gwaltney aporta una visión tan real de la II Guerra Mundial al alejarse del enaltecimiento del ejército y mostrar una psicología de militares y políticos difícil de digerir, especialmente hoy día, por su similitud con los actuales. A través de un análisis fílmico-literario, introducimos aquí que Gwaltney pudo haberse inspirado en el también escritor Norman Mailer al crear al personaje principal de su novela, Sam Gifford, y no únicamente al concebir al soldado Bernard L. Meleski como se creía hasta ahora. Además, descubrimos de qué manera su adaptación cinematográfica logró superar la férrea censura estadounidense con un lenguaje que ni los críticos ni el ejército supieron entender.
Using Bioindicators to Assess Heavy Metal Contamination in Surface Waters and Public Health Impacts
Authors: Martins Ramiro José Espinheira
Published: October 2024

Objective: This study aims to explore the use of bioindicators for assessing metal contamination in surface waters and its effects on public health.
 
Theoretical Framework: The persistence and variation of heavy metal contamination in the Ave River Basin over 15 years underscore the need for ongoing monitoring and intervention. The detection of elevated levels of chromium, cadmium, lead, and zinc in aquatic mosses highlights the continuing impact of industrial activities, particularly metal coating facilities, on the river's ecosystem.
 
Method: In the study area, the Ave River and some of its tributaries, a monitoring programme of twelve sampling points was defined in two campaigns and eight metallic ions were determined in the laboratory by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (Cd, Pb, Cu, Cr, Fe, Hg, Ni and Zn).
 
Results and Discussion: The highest metal accumulation in mosses was observed for iron (Fe), whereas the lowest accumulation was found for mercury (Hg) during Campaign II. The order of metal accumulation in the moss samples, from highest to lowest, was Fe > Zn > Cu > Cr > Ni > Pb > Cd > Hg. The Metal Pollution Index (MPI) revealed changes in contamination levels between campaigns.
 
Research Implications: The contamination patterns suggest the influence of industrial activities, particularly metal coating facilities. Monitoring and mitigation efforts are necessary to address persistent heavy metal pollution in the Ave River Basin.
 
Originality/Value: The results of this research will contribute to a better understanding of the sources and loads of pollutants discharged and responsible for the contaminants. This can be used to discourage potential polluters and better manage the basin's water resources and possible risks to human health.
Women of Maguey and Mezcal: The Other Everyday Symbolic World of the Palenque
Authors: Osorio Ever Sánchez , Romero Yair Romero , Santos Horacio Bautista , Galván Fabiola Sánchez , Echeverría Eduardo Fernández
Published: October 2024

Objective: To explore and highlight the role of women in the production of maguey and mezcal in Oaxaca, with the aim of analyzing how they have resisted and adapted to the dynamics of gender, class, and ethnicity that have historically limited their participation in a male-dominated context.
 
Theoretical Framework: It is based on María Lugones' theory of coloniality, Pierre Bourdieu's concept of male domination, and Henri Lefebvre's concept of everyday life.
 
Method: Qualitative research through semi-structured interviews with women mezcal producers and observations in palenques.
 
Results and Discussion: It is revealed that women mezcal producers have played a crucial but historically invisible role in mezcal production. Despite barriers of gender, class, and ethnicity, they have redefined their role in palenques, gaining recognition within their communities. However, they still face cultural and structural challenges that limit their full participation and visibility in the mezcal market.
 
Research Implications: There is a need to revalue the role of women in mezcal production, promoting inclusion and recognition. The visibility of women mezcal producers could transform gender dynamics and open economic and social opportunities.
 
Originality/Value: This research highlights the role of women mezcal producers, providing a gendered and decolonial perspective. It reveals their resistance in a traditionally male-dominated space, suggesting new inclusion policies in rural sectors.

Published: October 2024

Objective: To analyze the effects of the Local Innovation Agent – ​​Productivity program on the adoption of innovative practices and its impacts on the productivity of small businesses monitored in the Federal District in 2023.
 
Theoretical Framework: Innovation is a central element for economic development, a strategy to make companies efficient and competitive in the markets in which they operate, through various types of changes in management and production processes, with results that impact productivity and commercial performance.
 
Method: This research adopted a quantitative-exploratory approach based on the ALI Management System database, which uses the Innovation Radar tool to measure the impact on SMEs and bibliographic research focused on the culture of innovation in organizations.
 
Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed that the companies monitored during the program generally improved their scores in the dimensions analyzed. The results demonstrate that the commerce, industry and services sectors have different impacts and that innovation is still a topic that requires support and access for small businesses.
 
Research Implications: The data collected in this study show the effectiveness of the Local Innovation Agent Program - Productivity in inducing the adoption of innovative practices by small businesses. It is a fact that by adopting measures to monitor entrepreneurs, it is possible to encourage reflection on the part of managers of these businesses so that they prioritize innovative measures that assist and result in business management capable of facing the adversities of market competition.
 
Originality/Value: This study is valuable for analyzing the effectiveness of public innovation policies, with a focus on small businesses. It is clear that other studies are needed to compare results from different territories to better understand the needs of small businesses.
The Agrotourism and an Approach to the Ecuadorian Regulation About Tourist Farms
Authors: Mendoza Ángel Guillermo Félix , Rodríguez Jessica Eliana Filián , Alcivar José Luis Zambrano , Muñoz Cecilia Isabel Cáneppa , Chang Dayra Paola Marcial , Macías Marjorie Maleni Montecé
Published: October 2024

Objective: This essay attempts to contextualize the current reality of tourist haciendas and farms in Ecuador, based on an analysis of agrotourism experiences and an approach to Ecuadorian regulation.
 
Theoretical Framework: A literature review is carried out on agrotourism and its practices worldwide, also referencing case studies related to rural tourism and agrotourism experiences such as, for example: the coffee region and other experiences close to the Ecuadorian reality.
 
Method: The theoretical information is organized as a funnel, with the purpose of analyzing agrotourism from international experiences to addressing Ecuadorian regulations. Then, through the review of Ecuadorian regulations and the official database of the Ministry of Tourism of Ecuador, results can be illustrated through thematic cartography and comparative tables.
 
Results and Discussion: The results show a diversity of approaches to the virtues of agrotourism worldwide, which start from improving the quality of life of the receiving communities, to the inclusion of new techniques that raise the level of experience in agrotourism farms such as storytelling that uses historical elements to establish a narrative that accompanies the guidance of visitors.
 
Research Implication: In Ecuador, although it is true that agrotourism is promoted, aspects that could lead farms or Agricultural Production Units (UPA) to be a registerable tourist category like large haciendas are not fully included in the regulations. This limits the tourist development of potential areas due to the size of their properties and the simplicity of their facilities.
 
Originality/Value: The concept of a tourist farm is not included in the catalog of services of the Ministry of Tourism of Ecuador, but it is a term that is beginning to be used by academics and tourism operators, especially on the Ecuadorian coast, where it is cataloged in this way. to the possession of small arable lands, especially of small size. There is a large field of knowledge that can begin by studying the potential that these tourist farms have to offer for new market niches, so exploring these new trends is a great opportunity for Ecuadorian tourism.

Este capítulo busca presentar el proceso histórico y los aspectos relevantes de las relaciones bilaterales con Corea del Sur después de 1953. En consecuencia, se abordaron fuentes teóricas, históricas documentales y de tradición oral, que permitieron analizar en detalle los diferentes acontecimientos producto de 70 años de relación diplomática. Concluimos que, a partir de la participación de las Fuerzas Militares colombianas en la guerra de 1950, se ha logrado mantener una fuerte alianza con el país asiático fortaleciendo los proyectos económicos y sociales en conjunto.
Las relaciones comerciales entre Colombia y Corea del Sur a partir de la firma del tratado de libre comercio
Authors: López-Niño Desiderio
Published: October 2024

Este capítulo presenta el resultado de una investigación sobre el desarrollo de las relaciones comerciales entre Colombia y Corea del Sur en el marco del tratado de libre comercio (TLC) suscrito entre las dos naciones. Su objetivo es explorar un salto institucional colombiano que promueva políticas públicas conducentes a la industrialización, mediante redes productivas internacionales, considerando la relación entre los valores culturales y la toma de decisiones en el proceso de la internacionalización de las organizaciones, buscando una mayor competitividad como factor de cooperación entre los dos países, en procura de fortalecer su presencia en el sistema internacional. Este nuevo sentido es necesario, por cuanto se halló que los componentes del volumen de comercio entre los dos países objeto de estudio muestran una situación estática frente a los tipos de bienes y servicios que se comercializan. Igualmente, los mercados que se mueven por inercia han sido esquivos a generar entramados de procesos dinámicos.
El constitucionalismo coreano y colombiano: comparación de decisiones de sus cortes constitucionales que afectan la seguridad y defensa nacional
Authors: Carrascal-Jácome Manuel Guillermo
Published: October 2024

Dos Estados geográficamente distantes, unidos por la guerra de 1950, con transformaciones constitucionales democráticas recientes. Corea del Sur, en 1987, y Colombia, en 1991. Corea ratificó su Constitución mediante referéndum popular; Colombia, con una asamblea nacional constituyente. En ambos casos se crearon cortes constitucionales, las cuales han debido decidir durante las últimas décadas casos relativos a la promoción y protección de derechos fundamentales. Sin embargo, en Corea, la Corte ha sido conservadora cuando se presenta coalición de derechos frente a la seguridad y defensa nacional, respaldando normas que permitan enfrentar la amenaza que representa Corea del Norte. En Colombia, por el contrario, las decisiones son progresistas, acorde ello a la teoría del nuevo constitucionalismo, sin medir el posible menoscabo en el derecho a la seguridad y defensa nacional para garantizar la supervivencia del Estado. Las cortes constitucionales han permitido mantener una economía abierta, así como garantizar el respeto y promoción de derechos civiles, políticos, económicos, sociales y culturales, a pesar de que las decisiones relativas a la seguridad y defensa han sido de distinto talante.

Mineralisation controls for the diverse Cape manganese occurrences, South Africa
Authors: von der Heyden B.P. , La Cock R.A. , Ferreira D.R. , Conradie T.A. , van Rooyen J.D. , Palcsu L.
Published: October 2024

The Cape Fold Belt, comprising folded sedimentary sequences from predominantly the Palaeozoic Cape Supergroup, hosts a multitude of manganese occurrences and mineral deposits, many of which were subject to historical mining activity. Although size, grade and quality issues negate their modern-day exploitation for the steel-making process, the mechanisms by which Mn has enriched at these sites holds scientific value for our understanding of low-temperature Mn (bio-)geochemical cycling. Deposits located within the Cape Fold Belt comprise structure-hosted Mn deposits and a little described class of Mn mound deposits associated with chalybeate thermal springs (temperature = 41 to 48°C). Although the relationships between the two remain tenuous, detailed study of both classes provides insight into the conditions that favour Mn accumulation in the near-surface and sub-aerial environments. Comparisons between the physicochemistry of manganiferous- and non-manganiferous thermal springs suggest that manganese solubility is favoured by warm, acidic and slightly reducing fluids with elevated salinity. Transport, and associated fluid focusing typically within highly permeable sandstone units, serves to locate Mn mineralisation in near-surface structurally-complex trap sites that provide both accommodation space and conditions that are sufficiently oxidising. Where manganiferous spring waters spill out at surface, oxidation is caused by contact with atmospheric O2 to form Mn mound deposits, and ambient Mn-oxidising microbiota (e.g., genus Ramlibacter, and members of Burkholderiales, Rhodocyclaceae, and Oxalobacteraceae) are likely to play a role in enhancing the kinetics of this process. Relative to the structure-hosted deposits, these Mn mound deposits are typically lower grade (higher iron content) and relatively friable (high porosity and fine grain sizes). Supergene and diagenetic processes can lead to localised upgrade of the Mn mound material, although typically not to ore grade.
Tectonic setting and Pan-African structural evolution of the western Saldania Belt, South Africa
Authors: Rheeder C.G. , Kisters A.F.M.
Published: October 2024

The western Saldania Belt records the closure of the Adamastor Ocean and amalgamation of southwest Gondwana in the latest Neoproterozoic and early Phanerozoic, but the geodynamic setting and evolution of the belt remains controversial. Regional mapping and the integration of structural data presented in this paper document the juxtaposition of domains with distinct fabric development and kinematics. Structures record Pan-African strains and a strike-slip dominated sinistral transpression during southeast-directed subduction and convergence at low angles to the continental margin. Two main, structurally overlying domains – an upper and a lower domain – can be distinguished. Rocks of the upper domain record the partitioning of the transpressional strain into (1) broad regions of more or less upright, north to northwesterly-trending folds (F2) that record horizontal, mainly coaxial, east-northeast to west-southwest directed shortening at high angles to the continental margin, and (2) the northwesterly-trending, sinistral strike-slip Colenso Fault Zone that accommodates the margin-parallel, non-coaxial component of deformation between ca. 555 and 520 Ma. The strike-slip partitioning was promoted by strain localisation into synkinematic plutons of the Cape Granite Suite. In contrast, rocks in the pervasively transposed, mélange-like lower domain in the central Swartland region record episodes of vertical, coaxial shortening alternating with non-coaxial top-to-the-west and -northwest thrusting. The coaxial shortening strains relate to the thickening and gravitational loading of the succession in response to thrusting and tectonic underplating. Non-coaxial strains denote episodes of seismic slip during underthrusting.

The different fabric domains are interpreted to represent a section through a fore-arc region, from the deeper level accretionary prism (lower domain) to the overlying, folded fore-arc basin succession (upper domain). Regional-scale klippen structures indicate the transfer of lower-domain phyllites into the overlying fore-arc sequence. The proposed fore-arc setting of the Saldania Belt suggests the subduction of the Adamastor Ocean below the leading edge of the Kalahari Craton. This challenges stratigraphic and structural correlations between the Saldania Belt and the Gariep Belt to the immediate north.
HEMLAB Algorithm Applied to the High-Lift Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency Standard Model
Authors: Sukas Hulya , Sahin Mehmet
Published: October 2024

The high-lift Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) standard model (HL-JSM) has been numerically analyzed in order to further validate the HEMLAB code for realistic aircraft configurations. The numerical algorithm is based on highly efficient edge-based data structure for a vertex-based finite volume algorithm on hybrid meshes. The data pattern is arranged to meet the requirements of a vertex-based finite volume algorithm by considering data access patterns and cache efficiency. A fully implicit version of the numerical algorithm has also been implemented based on the Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation (PETSc) library in order to improve the robustness of the algorithm. The resulting algebraic equations, including the one-equation Spalart–Allmaras, are solved in a monolithic manner using the restricted additive Schwarz preconditioner combined with the flexible generalized minimal residual method [FGMRES(m)] Krylov subspace algorithm. The numerical method is also combined with the metric-based anisotropic mesh refinement library Python Adaptive Mesh Geometry Suite–INRIA (pyAMG) from National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology in order to improve the numerical accuracy. The numerical algorithm is initially applied to the two-dimensional L1T2 (National High Lift Programme) high-lift system, and then the calculations around the HL-JSM are carried out at relatively high angles of attack. The numerical results with the anisotropic mesh refinement library pyAMG indicate significant improvements in numerical accuracy.
Pulsating Heat Pipe Performance Modeling with Liquid Metal Coolants Under Hypersonic Aerothermal Heating
Authors: Franceschetti Lorenzo T. , Kihm Kenneth D. , Rawal Suraj P. , White Jonathan R.
Published: October 2024

Hypersonic heating loads concentrate at leading-edge compression areas to create excessively high local temperatures and thermally driven stresses. The fast and reliable thermal dispersion of heat pipes with significantly high thermal conductance can alleviate these localized thermal stiffness problems. The pulsating heat pipe (PHP) holds numerous advantages when compared to capillary, constant-conductance heat pipes for hypersonic thermal management applications, primarily because they lack a wicking structure. This paper numerically investigates thermal performances of a four-turn C103 niobium alloy PHP operating with lithium, potassium, sodium, and a eutectic sodium–potassium alloy (NaK-78) when exposed to heating conditions relevant to the hypersonic environment, investigating flight Mach numbers ranging from 6 to 8 and dynamic pressures ranging from 40 to 44 kPa. The robust thermofluidic properties of liquid metals, along with the powerful fluid pulsation induced in the PHP, can provide significant thermal transport from hot stagnant regions of the leading edge to the cooler trailing surfaces. Potassium showed superior thermal performance when compared to other liquid metal coolants under the presently tested conditions, with overall PHP thermal conductance as high as [Formula: see text] predicted for Mach 8 flight conditions. In contrast, sodium was associated with startup difficulties in the PHP; this paper attributes this to its significantly larger thermal conductivity, which can limit the vapor pressure difference over the liquid slug lengths. These predictions indicate an overall latent heat transfer dominance of around 70–95% in liquid metal PHPs.

En Guatemala, durante el 2023 se registró el número más alto de casos en los últimos 10 años y un incremento de 135% en el número de casos comparado con el 2022.Objetivo: Caracterización clínica de dengue con signos de alarma y dengue grave. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo transversal retrospectivo, incluyó registros de 206 pacientes con signos de alarma de dengue que acudieron a la Emergencia de Adultos del Hospital Roosevelt de Guatemala, del 26 de septiembre al 26 de noviembre del 2023.Resultados: Predominó el sexo femenino en 54,4% y el grupo etario de 12-22 años en 51,0%. El principal signo de alarma fue el sangrado en 63,6%. Las mayores complicaciones fueron hepatopatía en 9,2%, choque en 5,8% y alteración neurológica en 2,9%. Respecto a los parámetros hematológicos, predominaron la trombocitopenia en 93,2%, leucopenia en 53,9% y linfocitosis en 71,4%. Las transaminasas AST y ALT presentaron elevación en 97,0% (96/99) y 91,0% (142/156), respectivamente. Los tiempos de coagulación se mostraron prolongados en 55,9% (104/186) para TPT y en 22,6% (42/186) para TP. Hubo 78,7% de positividad (148/188) para dengue. El 8,3% (17/206) de los pacientes fue referido al área crítica por clasificación de dengue grave.Conclusión: Estos datos aportan una mejora en el reconocimiento y el manejo clínico adecuado de casos con signos de alarma y dengue grave, que pueden contribuir para disminuir la carga de morbimortalidad de esta enfermedad en el país.
Development of the Perceived Maverick Leadership Scale: Generation Z Sample
Authors: Telli Danışmaz Açelya
Published: October 2024

The starting point of this study is the question of what Generation Z expects from business life, which has become one of the most curious topics in today's business world with the involvement of Generation Z in business life. In addition, the relationship between maverick leadership, a new concept in the literature, and the expectations of Generation Z leaders who have just stepped into the business world is one of the reasons for the emergence of the research. In this context, the aim of the study is to develop a scale to determine how working individuals from Generation Z perceive maverick leaders. In this context, first of all, a detailed literature review was conducted about the differences between generations, the prominent characteristics of Generation Z and their expectations from their leaders, and the concept of maverick leadership. Following the screening, research was conducted on 385 Generation Z individuals working in different sectors in order to determine the maverick leadership perceptions of Generation Z individuals. After performing content validity, structure validity and explanatory factor analysis for the scale created for the research, a structural equation model was established. As a result of the analyses, the "Perceived Maverick Leadership Scale" (PMLS), a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to evaluate the perception of Maverick leadership of Generation Z employees, was developed.
Fixation d'une scène de crime ou de catastrophe en milieu subaquatique au moyen de la photogrammétrie
Authors: Gérard Yohan , Daudigny Hervé , Grussenmeyer Pierre
Published: October 2024

L’environnement subaquatique présente de nombreuses contraintes, dont des conditions de visibilité souvent réduite dans les eaux intérieures telles que les lacs, les rivières ou les étangs. Ainsi, les plongeurs-enquêteurs doivent adapter leurs moyens de fixation numérique à ces contraintes afin de permettre aux requérants et aux experts de correctement visualiser et comprendre les scènes de crime ou de catastrophe dans un contexte subaquatique.Si les appareils photographiques numériques modernes permettent une meilleure gestion de la lumière grâce à des capteurs plus sensibles et plus grands, les contraintes de visibilité restreignent malgré toutes les possibilités de fixation par l’image.La photogrammétrie, procédé consistant à réaliser des prises de vue selon un schéma inscrivant le recouvrement des photographies entre elles afin de créer un modèle numérique reconstitué en deux ou trois dimensions, s’avère être un moyen efficace de rendre compte de l’état global d’une épave, d’un corps ou d’une scène de catastrophe telle qu’un crash aérien, et ce malgré une visibilité parfois très réduite dans les contextes d’eaux intérieures.Nous présentons ici une approche concrète de l’emploi de la photogrammétrie en milieu subaquatique au profit de l’enquête criminelle et de l’identification des victimes de catastrophe.
The syntax of free relatives with invariable "o que" and of semi free relatives with variable "o que" revisited
Authors: Brito Ana Maria
Published: October 2024

In this text I revisit the syntax of free relatives introduced by the invariable o que and of semi free relatives introduced by the variable o que in Portuguese, in a comparative perspective. I will adopt the view that in free relatives the constituent o que is the result of reanalysis / incorporation, as defended by Medeiros Júnior (2016), here analysed as an operation of Agree. As for semi free relatives with the variable o que, I will propose that they are “restrictive relatives in disguise”, with a NP layer and a null N, following Citko (2004) for some types of light-head relatives in Polish. This explains both the impossibility of reanalysis and the possibility of Pied Piping of a PP. The nature of the relative que as an underspecified wh morpheme (not the complementizer) will be crucial for the analysis.
Low-carbon development vector in circular economy

Published: October 2024

Within the framework of the Industry 4.0 concept, transition from a linear economy model to a circular economy model aimed at energy saving, regenerative green production, circulation, and consumption is becoming increasingly relevant. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the low-carbon development model consistency with the goals and objectives of circular economy (hereinafter referred to as CE) for subsequent development of a green growth strategy. Objectives of the study: to use the criteria and methods of CE to develop a toolkit for transition to low-carbon economy and to formulate its development strategy. The study used general scientific methods, in particular, analysis, synthesis, and periodization. In the course of the study the criteria for green economy growth have been identified, and in accordance with them the stages of CE have been established such as conceptual, institutional, and regulatory. The author’s variant of the combined regulatory system based on a combination of administrative and economic measures has been proposed. Matrices of problem situations by individual types of activity have been formed. As the study result, the authors outlined the circular economy stages, substantiated the possibility of low-carbon transformation within the framework of CE, relying on carbon emissions management, low-carbon technologies and a system of financing “green” projects implementation. The tools to stimulate “green” growth have been defined: a tax on greenhouse gas emissions, emissions trading system, subsidizing alternative energy, environmental projects, energy-saving technologies development and their implementation into the production process. The novelty of the study lies in a scheme development for building a low-carbon economic development strategy aimed at achieving the goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the level of both the region and industrial enterprises.
The post-Soviet break in economic ties between Russia and Africa: causes and consequences
Authors: Mahamat M. M.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the causes and consequences of the post-Soviet breakdown of economic ties between Russia and Africa. The post-Soviet period (since 1991) has led to a breakdown of economic ties between them. It means that trade, investment, and other forms of economic cooperation between the two sides have been significantly reduced or stopped completely. After the collapse of the Soviet Union at the initiative of Mikhail Gorbachev, Africa really became a “non-subject” for diplomats and military personnel stationed in the region, and some economic actors witnessed Moscow’s first initiatives. It was only in early 2018, on the occasion of the arrival of the first shipments of Russian weapons and dozens of “advisers” from Moscow in Bangui, that the French media learned of Russia’s “great comeback” in Africa. This Central African prism powerfully shaped perceptions in Paris: Russian involvement would be a new phenomenon echoing the confrontation between East and West, and Central Africa would be a crucial link in a grand strategy on a continental scale, where Russia would be on its way to establishing itself as a major player. The severing of economic ties between Russia and Africa has negative consequences for both regions, including reduced trade, investment, and political influence, and Russia’s lack of resources and changing political priorities since the collapse of the Soviet Union are the main reasons for it.
