Título del capitulo U tsikbalil wáayo’ob. Conversaciones sobre los wáayes en la Península de Yucatán
Authors:   Universidad Intercultural de Campeche, Velázquez Solís Alberto Carlos
Published: March 2024

Este capítulo es parte de una investigación que busca conocer qué son los wáayes. Se cuenta que estos seres son personas que pueden transformarse en algún animal, así por ejemplo el wáay perro, el wáay gato o el wáay águila, entre otros. Por lo tanto, este documento se centra también en los elementos simbólicos que hay dentro de la raíz del término “wáay” que se encuentra igual en otras palabras como: wáayeb, huaya, waway ki’, ya que algunas de ellas comparten la idea de algo que se transforma, cambia o que revelan cosas que están por suceder. Para esto, se analizan cuatro historias o tsikbales relacionados con los wáayes con el fin de entender y conocer los elementos que se encuentran escondidos detrás de los relatos sobre los wáayes.

Published: March 2024

Lutein is a xanthophyll carotenoid that can be found in a divergency of fruits and plants. Its main action is to protect eye health and vision. Its antioxidant properties play a crucial role in eye agitations, in decreasing inflammation, in protecting the neural tissues from chemical analyzed hypoxia and cell apoptosis. Lutein supplementation in associa- tion with low-calorie diet had a notable abatement in fat-free mass, visceral fat and serum levels of total cholesterol and LDL (low-density lipoprotein)-cholesterol. Lutein may also have a natural anti-cancer effect. This is because foods rich in lutein have antioxidant activity and oppose inflammation and oxidative stress. The aim of this mini-review was to provide an up-to-date overview of the main effects of lutein in health and disease.
Behavioral and Rational Explanation of Stock Price Performance Around Mergers and Acquisitions in Pakistan: Evidence from Decomposition of Market to Book Ratio
Authors: Nadeem Ayyaz , Irfan Muhammad , Ali Zulfiqar , Ali Shoukat
Published: March 2024

This study aims to analyze the firm-specific errors (FSSE) as a proxy for mis-valuation and the long-run value-to-book ratio as a proxy for growth opportunities during mergers and acquisitions. In this study, the researcher used the RKRV methodology, which was developed in 2004, to analyze firm-specific errors and future growth opportunities by decomposing the market-to-book ratio in the merged organization of the Pakistani financial sector. The researcher used the mergers and acquisitions data from the financial sector from 2000 to 2021. For the purpose of analysis, the researcher prepared one year of pre-merger and three years of the merger performance of merged financial institutions and compared it with nonmerger financial institutions. The results of non-zero log differences between market values and fundamental values show that in Pakistan firms, firm-specific errors (FSSE) exist in the merged and nonmerger financial institutions. The second component of this methodology was to calculate the long-run value of the book (LRVTB) by taking the difference between the estimated market value and the firm's book value as a proxy for long-run growth opportunities. The results show that no long-run growth opportunities exist in Pakistan's merged and non-merged financial institutions because the difference between estimated market value and book value is negative. The third component of this study is to estimate time series sector error (TSSE) by taking log differences between fundamental value and estimated market value if the firm-specific error exists in the valuation of firms and there are no long-run growth opportunities. The results show that time series sector error also exists in the valuation of financial institutions. The researcher concludes that the mergers and acquisitions intentions are to meet the minimum capital requirement enforced by The State Bank of Pakistan. The merger and acquisition activities that took place during the years 2000 to 2011 are the legislative mergers. The results satisfy the economic shocks theory. There is no issue of agency problems, whether mergers are successful.

Motivation, Musizierpraxis und Musikinteresse in der Familie als Prädiktoren der Kompetenz Musik wahrnehmen und kontextualisieren und des Kompetenzerlebens im Musikunterricht
Authors: Harnischmacher Christian , Knigge Jens
Published: March 2024

Die vorliegende Studie untersucht Einflussfaktoren auf die Kompetenz „Musik wahrnehmen und kontextualisieren“. Grundlegendes Ziel ist dabei – mit Blick auf zukünftig umfassendere Untersuchungen – zunächst die Pilotierung der Konstrukte hinsichtlich ihrer möglichen Zusammenhänge. Welche Faktoren für die Varianz musikalischer Leistungen entscheidend sein könnten, wurde lange im Rahmen einer Anlage-Oder-Umwelt-Debatte diskutiert. Diese Diskussion hat sich dahingehend konsolidiert, dass man von einer Interaktion zwischen Anlage- und Umweltfaktoren und entsprechenden Katalysatoren ausgeht. Vor diesem Hintergrund berücksichtigt unsere explorative Studie als intrapersonale Katalysatoren das „Kompetenzerleben im Musikunterricht“ und die „Motivation musikbezogenen Handelns“. Als Umwelt-Katalysatoren werden das „Musikinteresse in der Familie“ und die „außerschulische Musizierpraxis“ einbezogen. Anhand einer Stichprobe von 600 Schülerinnen und Schülern der siebten Jahrgangsstufe aus neun Gymnasien werden im Beitrag Pfadmodelle vorgestellt. Diese bestätigen das „Musikinteresse in der Familie“ als Prädiktor und die „Motivation musikbezogenen Handelns“ als Mediatorvariable in Wirkzusammenhängen auf die Kompetenz „Musik wahrnehmen und kontextualisieren“ sowie das „Kompetenzerleben im Musikunterricht“.
Wie lässt sich musikbezogene Argumentationskompetenz empirisch untersuchen?
Authors: Ehninger Julia
Published: March 2024

Die Rolle von Argumentationskompetenz wurde in den letzten Jahren in vielen Fachdidaktiken verstärkt empirisch untersucht. In der Musikpädagogik gibt es jedoch bisher kaum empirische Arbeiten in diesem Forschungsfeld. Der vorliegende Artikel untersucht die methodischen Herangehensweisen von sieben Forschungsprojekten zu Argumentationskompetenz in verschiedenen Fächern, um daraus Rückschlüsse für entsprechende musikpädagogische Forschungen ziehen zu können. Dabei werden sowohl qualitative (z. B. inhalts- oder gesprächsanalytische), als auch quantitative Ansätze (z. B. Probabilistische Testtheorie) berücksichtigt. Ausgehend von einer kritischen Reflexion der jeweiligen Forschungsdesigns werden Rückschlüsse für die musikpädagogische Forschung gezogen, um zu analysieren, wie dort fachspezifische, aber auch fächerübergreifende Aspekte von Argumentationskompetenz untersucht werden können. Es wird argumentiert, dass eine Vielfalt an Forschungsdesigns nötig ist, um die diversen Facetten von musikbezogener Argumentationskompetenz in den Blick zu nehmen.

Published: March 2024

Abstrak

Kehidupan manusia erat kaitannya dengan numerasi, Persepsi 'sulit' yang ditanamkan para peserta didik untuk numerasi seringkali menjadi alasan mengapa mereka tidak menyukai untuk mempelajarinya. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan suatu metode khusus yang dapat secara perlahan menggantikan persepsi tersebut dengan persepsi bahwa literasi numerasi itu asyik dan sangat berguna bagi kehidupan sehari-hari. Cara yang tepat untuk peningkatan literasi numerasi anak usia dini adalah dengan bermain sambil belajar. Pada akhirnya dipilih media permainan ular tangga raksasa dengan penerapan model ATIK (Amati, Tiru, Kerjakan) dimana anak belajar numerasi dengan cara bermain yang menyenangkan dan dapat dijadikan salah satu upaya untuk meningkatkan literasi numerasi pada anak usia dini. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian deskriptif dimana peneliti hanya ingin mengetahui bagaimana keadaan variabel itu sendiri tanpa ada pengaruh atau hubungan terhadap variabel lain seperti penelitian eksperimen atau korelasi dan peneliti berperan sebagai instrumen kunci dan melakukan melukiskan suatu keadaan secara objektif atau berdasarkan fakta-fakta yang tampak. Guru dalam hal ini harus memberikan pijakan yang lengkap dan dapat dipahami oleh anak sesuai dengan model ATIK.

 

Abstrack

               Human life is closely related to numeracy, the 'difficult' perception that students instill in numeracy is often the reason why they do not like to learn it. Therefore, we need a special method that can slowly replace this perception with the perception that numeracy literacy is fun and very useful for everyday life. The right way to increase early childhood numeracy literacy is to play while learning. In the end, the media for the giant snake and ladder game was chosen with the application of the ATIK (Observe, Imitate, Work) model where children learn numeracy by playing in a fun way and can be used as an effort to improve numeracy literacy in early childhood. The method used is a descriptive research method where the researcher only wants to know how the state of the variable itself is without any influence or relationship to other variables such as experimental research or correlation and the researcher acts as a key instrument and describes a situation objectively or based on visible facts. . In this case, the teacher must provide a complete and understandable footing for children according to the ATIK model.

Authors: Sunar Sunar
Published: March 2024

Pesantren Baitul Qur’an in Wonogiri, Central Java, Indonesia, is an Islamic educational institution for memorizing the Qur’an. This pesantren has succeeded in educating students to memorize the Qur’an for less than two years. This paper questions the leadership model of the leader of Pesantren Baitul Qur’an Wonogiri, who can maintain the teacher’s quality so that students can memorize the Qur’an for two years. This study aims to analyze the leadership model of Pesantren Baitul Qur’an Wonogiri using a qualitative approach. This study argues that, first, the charismatic leadership model is more widely used by pesantren directors in everyday life because it inspires and influences other teachers’ thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. Second, the democratic leadership model is more widely used by pesantren directors in the bureaucracy because every teacher has the right to make decisions to achieve teaching goals effectively and efficiently. Third, the participatory leadership model is more widely used by pesantren directors in the organizational field because it involves the community voluntarily, so all institutional agendas run well.

The curriculum consists of several components, namely the objective component, material component, material component, strategy component and evaluation component. The problems of the Islamic education curriculum that are often encountered in Indonesia are (1) The curriculum content is the same as schools, only madrasas still leave their Islamic characteristics with religious subjects, which are not as strong and deep as they were at the beginning of its formation. less interesting in terms of material and delivery methods used. The design of the Islamic education curriculum is very much dominated by normative, ritual, and eschatological issues. If you pay attention to the design of Islamic education curriculum programs from elementary/MI to university levels, it is felt that they have not been able to answer the challenges of change, because the Islamic education curriculum focuses more on focuses on the correspondence-textual aspect, which emphasizes the memorization of existing religious texts. The reality found in the field is that the assessment of learning outcomes is more referred to as an individual assessment which emphasizes the cognitive aspect, and uses the form of Islamic religious exam questions that are more comprehensive. shows the main priority in the cognitive aspect as well, and rarely does the question have a functional spiritual "value" and "meaning" of religious spirituality in everyday life, 90% of madrasas are managed by the community (private) with different qualification levels in various aspects, due to limited facilities and infrastructure owned by madrasas, the preparation and development of the curriculum so far, it turns out that the burden is more on the madrasah principal and teachers, the involvement of madrasah committees, foundations and the community is still relatively small, in fact it almost does not happen.

The Legacy of Traditional Chinese Taiji Philosophy as a Factor in Harmonizing the Contradictions of Socio-cultural Reality (using the example of Chinese Neorealist Art)
Authors: Zhao Shuai , Gomboeva Margarita Ivanovna
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the influence of the ancient Chinese philosophy of Taiji on artistic creativity and the development of the internal evolution of artistic culture. Taoist philosophy of nature and Confucian ethics synthesized the philosophical core of the traditional Chinese worldview with its emphasis on the simplicity and naturalness of the world order, and formed the fundamental principles of Taiji. Fundamental to Taiji, the concept of Yin and Yang emphasizes the dual nature of the existence of movement and variability as a balance of opposing forces of development. The Taiji philosophy of dialectical development is supplemented by the idea of ​​the genesis of renewal energy - Qi. The main research method is the method of revitalizing traditional systems on a new intellectual basis. The method of diachronic analysis of the social situation that influenced the development of Chinese neorealism in art was used. As a result of the study, the functional significance of the influence of the principles and philosophical ideas of taiji on the evolution of neorealism is described. Using the example of the work of Chinese neorealist artists Xin Dongwan and Zheng Yi, the authors come to the conclusion that there are three driving factors of artistic motivation for creativity: internal, external and subjective. The basic principles of Taiji philosophy and ethics, such as: the naturalness of change without the use of force (Wu Wei), change as the only constant in the existence of the world and its stability, gentleness - help develop the creative power of renewal. The idea is shown that in the ancient Chinese philosophical heritage, Confucianism and Taoism became two full-fledged directions, functionally complementing each other in explaining differences in cultural, political, philosophical and social environments.
Longer mandible or nose? Co-evolution of feeding organs in early elephantiforms

Published: March 2024

The long-trunked elephantids underwent a significant evolutionary stage characterized by an exceptionally elongated mandible. The initial elongation and subsequent regression of the long mandible, along with its co-evolution with the trunk, present an intriguing issue that remains incompletely understood. Through comparative functional and eco-morphological investigations, as well as feeding preference analysis, we reconstructed the feeding behavior of major groups of longirostrine elephantiforms. In the
Platybelodon
clade, the rapid evolutionary changes observed in the narial region, strongly correlated with mandible and tusk characteristics, suggest a crucial evolutionary transition where feeding function shifted from the mandible to the trunk, allowing proboscideans to expand their niches to more open regions. This functional shift further resulted in elephantids relying solely on their trunks for feeding. Our research provides insights into how unique environmental pressures shape the extreme evolution of organs, particularly in large mammals that developed various peculiar adaptations during the late Cenozoic global cooling trends.

In contrast, type 2 cytokines (IL4 and IL13) were dominantly expressed by basophils, IL17A was primarily expressed by δγ T cells, and IL1β was identified as the primary cytokine expressed by activated neutrophils and macrophages.

Ligand binding and conformational changes of biomacromolecules play a central role in the regulation of cellular processes. It is important to understand how both are coupled and what their role is in biological function. The biochemical properties, conformational states, and structural dynamics of periplasmic substrate-binding proteins (abbreviated SBPs or PBPs), which are associated with a wide range of membrane proteins, have been extensively studied over the past decades. Their ligand-binding mechanism, i.e., the temporal order of ligand-protein interactions and conformational changes, however, remains a subject of controversial discussion. We here present a biochemical and biophysical analysis of the
E. coli
glutamine-binding protein GlnBP concerning ligand binding and its coupling to conformational changes. For this, we used a combination of experimental techniques including isothermal titration calorimetry, single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer, and surface-plasmon resonance spectroscopy. We found that both apo- and holo-GlnBP show no detectable exchange between open and (semi-)closed conformations on timescales between 100 ns and 10 ms. Furthermore, we also demonstrate that ligand binding and conformational changes in GlnBP are highly correlated. A global analysis of our results is consistent with a dominant induced-fit mechanism, where the ligand binds GlnBP prior to conformational rearrangements. Importantly, we suggest that the rigorous experimental and theoretical framework used here can be applied to other protein systems where the coupling mechanism of conformational changes and ligand binding is yet unclear or where doubts prevail.
Computer vision and machine-learning method for the detection of low-surface brightness galaxies in the Fornax Cluster
Authors:   , Hernández Flores Alejandra Valentina
Published: March 2024

Detecting the faint luminosity in Low Surface Brightness Galaxies (LSBGs) poses significant challenges, primarily due to sky brightness and contamination from brighter sources while separating LSBGs from the background. Despite these challenges, the study of LSBGs holds great potential to advance our understanding of various fields, including cosmology, galaxy formation, evolution, and the characteristics of galaxy clusters. The primary goal of this study is to develop an automated code capable of effectively detecting LSBGs, including the more diffuse LSBGs that are only detectable through visual search. The initial focus is on the Fornax cluster of galaxies, with the possibility of extension to other galaxy clusters. The purpose is to significantly contribute to advancing research in LSBGs and its implications for broader astronomical studies. We have created an automated code that successfully detects LSBGs in digital images at a reasonable processing speed. We have incorporated an innovative algorithm to separate LSBGs from the background using a dynamic background kernel and threshold applied to image segments to achieve this. We have also implemented a bilateral filter that identifies the most diffuse LSBGs and preserves morphology, ensuring precise identification and classification. Additionally, we have developed and trained a One-Class Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier using a gold sample of 143 LSBGs, resulting in a classifier with a low rate of false positives. The implemented code has successfully detected LSBGs, showcasing its ability to address the challenges associated with identifying the faint luminosity in these galaxies, even in the presence of brighter sources. The integrated algorithm has significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of the detection process, allowing for the identification of a substantial number of LSBG candidates. Specifically, in the Fornax Cluster, our algorithm successfully identified 31,295 LSBG candidates, as documented in the comprehensive catalog available at GitHub

Nach dem Czochralski‐Verfahren wurden CaWO4‐ und CaMoO4‐ Einkristalle mit Nd3+‐Dotierung gezüchtet; zur Ladungskompensation dienten Na+ ‐ und Nb5+ ‐ Ionen. Absorptions‐ und Fluoreszenzmessungen zeigten, daß für die Nd‐Ionen der gewünschte Einbauzustand erreicht wurde. Ein wesentlicher Teil der Arbeit ist den Lasereigenschaften gewidmet. Aus dem zeitlichen Emissionsverhalten, der optischen Güte und der Materialfestigkeit folgt, daß sich die Kristalle im Impulsbetrieb vorteilhaft bei niedriger Pumpenenergie einsetzen lassen. Die vom Pumplicht herrührende Verfärbung des aktive Mediums wird diskutiert.
Etch pit morphology and calcium sulphate growth on {111} faces of calcium fluoride crystals etched in sulphuric acid
Authors: Sangwal K. , Desai C. C. , John V.
Published: July 2007

An investigation of the etching behaviour of cleaved octahedral faces of calcium fluoride crystals in sulphuric acid of different concentrations and at various temperatures is carried out. It is observed that the morphology of dislocation etch pits depends on the temperature and concentration of the acid. With an increase in the acid concentration, growth of whiskers, elongated platelets, hexagonal and dice‐shaped elevations, spherulites and sheaves is observed. Temperature of the etchant also has an effect on their formation. By X‐ray diffraction techniques, the compounds forming the whiskers and elongated platelets, and hexagonal and dice‐shaped features are identified as CaSO4 · 2 H2O and CaSO4, respectively. The mechanism of the growth of CaSO4 · 2 H2O and CaSO4 and the change in the morphology of selective etch pit are discussed.

Published: July 2007

For the relative position of layers, the parameters are studied in detail. The number of independent parameters for an OD groupoid family may be determined by means of a table. Proposals are made for an extension of the symbols of some OD groupoid families, in order to give a full set of independent parameters. Rules for the linear dependence of parameters are examined.

Authors: Fischer A.
Published: July 2007

The plastic deformations occurring during technological high‐temperature treatment of silicon wafers are discussed and are simulated experimentally by means of static loading. From the results obtained a critical stress‐time product is derived which can be used for a quantitative estimate of the maximum permissible load of the wafer during heating and cooling treatments in technological processes.
Effect of γ‐radiation on mechanically processed MgO powder (compressive and shear stress)

Published: July 2007

In mechanically processed MgO samples, γ‐irradiation results in the formation of F+ and V− centres. The higher the mechanically induced degree of distortion of the samples, the higher the concentration of F+ centres obtained by the irradiation. Our experiments suggest that the irradiation can be used as a probe in determining the concentration of the mechanically induced vacant anion and cation sites.
