An evolutionary bargaining framework for allocating water and reclaimed wastewater in agricultural regions
Authors: Hosseini Maryam , Mahjouri Najmeh , Farsi Niloofar
Published: June 2023

This paper presents a new framework for modeling the bargaining process among stakeholders by coupling social choice and bargaining methods. Based on this framework, two methods of evolutionary bargaining coupled with Borda count (BBC) and evolutionary bargaining coupled with pairwise voting (BPV) are proposed, and the results of applying them to resolve the challenging problems of allocating water and reclaimed wastewater in agricultural regions are analyzed. After proposing some candidate scenarios of allocating water and reclaimed wastewater, non-dominated scenarios are determined. Then, in the first level of bargaining, using a social choice technique, each stakeholder chooses the most desirable scenario out of the non-dominated ones, regardless of the utilities of other stakeholders. The selected scenarios by all stakeholders can provide them an estimate of other stakeholders' expected utilities. This enables each stakeholder in the next step of bargaining to suggest a scenario that improves their own utility, while providing a minimum acceptable utility of other stakeholders. If the bargaining results in more than one scenario, a social choice method is applied to find the most preferred scenario. The applicability and performance of the proposed framework are evaluated by applying it to the Varamin plain, in the south-east of Tehran, Iran.

Published: June 2023

As bainhas do açaí (Euterpe oleracea) são estruturas que servem de abrigo para várias espécies de formigas, as quais possuem comportamentos e relações ecológicas complexas entre si. Visando conhecer as espécies de formigas que nidificam em açaí, foi utilizada coleta ativa dos ninhos e das formigas. Identificaram-se as formigas por meio de chaves taxonômicas; os ninhos foram analisados quanto às suas estruturas internas e externas. Realizaram-se 90 coletas entre outubro de 2021 e agosto de 2022 no Jardim Botânico da Univille, em Joinville, Santa Catarina. Oito espécies de formigas nidificaram nas bainhas de Euterpe oleracea, sendo a mais abundante Camponotus cingulatus, enquanto duas espécies foram encontradas apenas forrageando nas palmeiras. Foram coletados os ninhos das oito espécies nidificadoras da bainha, e fizeram-se a sua análise e, posteriormente, seus desenhos esquemáticos.

A riqueza de galhas local pôde ser ampliada com a inclusão dos dados obtidos para o componente herbáceo da flora local, não mencionados anteriormente. Considerando a ponte estratégica entre pesquisa e conservação da diversidade que o Jardim Botânico da Univille proporciona, o local pode ser considerado de relevante interesse para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas futuras tendo as galhas como modelo de estudos.
(Un)Making it in Rapture The Critique of the Myth of the Self-Made Man, of Ayn Rand, and of Objectivism in BioShock (2007) and in BioShock: Rapture (2011)
Authors: Pereira Teresa
Published: June 2023

Thispaper attempts to prove that BioShock(2007), a science fiction video game set in 1960, and BioShock: Rapture(2011), the novel published in its wake which starts in 1945,present a powerful critique of the myth of the self-made man, conveyed via the depiction of the fall of Rapture. Rapture is the dystopian, underwater citycreated by Andrew Ryanin which boththe video game and the novel take place. Thecityisbuilt in an art deco style reminiscent of the1927 movie Metropolis. A Russian-born American tycoon, Ryan believed that nuclear annihilation was at hand and despisedanything resembling socialist-like policies, which is why he decided to seclude himself and a few chosen ones somewhere underneath the Atlantic Ocean. The place he selected, Rapture, was based on Objectivism and closely related to Ayn Rand, an American-Russian writer who promoted an extreme version of individualism and laissez-faire capitalism, namely on one of her novels, entitled Atlas Shrugged(1957), in which she presents the capitalist utopia called Galt’s Gulch. Although they are never explicitly mentioned in the texts analysedhere, both Rand and Galt’s Gulch provide Ryan and Rapture with their ethos, given that Ryan clearly resembles Rand and Rapture is strikingly similar to Galt’s Gulch. Despite promising that those willing to work hard enough would be able to fulfilthe promises of the myth of the self-made man, Rapture ends up falling, largely because of its defenceof Rand and Objectivist-inspired capitalist ideals, with the myth of the self-made man failing to be fulfilled. As a result, both themyth and, by extension, Rand and Objectivism, are called into question by BioShockand BioShock: Rapture, clearly located within the context of Cold War era and American culture and history.
The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man and The Human Stain A Comparative Study on Two Passing Novels
Authors: Carletto Alice
Published: June 2023

The main objective of this essay is to analyseandcompare two novels about passing, published in the USA in different periods: James Weldon Johnson’s The Autobiography of an Ex-ColoredMan(1912) and Philip Roth’s The Human Stain(2000). Thus, one of the main aims of the essay is to show how the passing motif is constructed by the main characters, therefore revealing what the reasons that led them to perform the passing phenomenon are.The essay includesan introductorypart in which the passing theme is presented, and in which the main objectives are outlined. The following two sections are devoted to the analysis of the two novels. The main purpose is to describe the passing phenomenonin each novel, delvinginto the reasons that induce the protagonists to undertake another life, sidelining, in this way, their African Americanheritage. Subsequently, a concludingpart will follow, in which final considerations will be drawn, and points of differenceand similarities between the two characters will be underlined. This essay represents another contributionto thepassing trope in literature, while also reconsidering the American ideal of freedom.
Ab initio study of electronic, vibrational and elastic properties of LiInTe-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=- and LiTlTe-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=- crystals
Authors: Basalaev Yu.M.  , Duginova E. B.  , Basalaeva O. G.
Published: June 2023

Using the sublattice method and density functional theory, the electronic structure of a LiTlTe2 crystal with the chalcopyrite structure was studied for the first time and the equilibrium parameters of the crystal lattice a=6.7526 Angstrem, c=13.3037 Angstrem, u(Te)=0.2423 were calculated. It has been established that the valence bands of the LiTlTe2 crystal and its closest analogue LiInTe2 actually coincide in topology, and the LiTlTe2 crystal is a direct-gap semiconductor with a band gap of 0.63 eV and a crystal splitting of 0.04 eV. The partial contributions of the density of states are analyzed and the features of the formation of the valence and conduction bands of LiInTe2 and LiTlTe2 crystals due to the contributions of their sublattices are revealed: the structure of the valence bands of both crystals is completely determined by the interaction in the cationic tetrahedra of InTe4 and TlTe4. The vibrational modes and elastic constants are calculated, confirming the stability and mechanical stability of the LiTlTe2 crystal Keywords: LiInTe2, LiTlTe2, chalcopyrite, electronic structure, sublattice.
Effectiveness of Telegenetic Counseling for Patients and Families With Suspected Hereditary Cancer: Systematic Review
Authors: Shibuya Yuriko , Harada Tomoyo , Aoki Mikiko , Ota Erika , Kamei Tomoko
Published: June 2023

Background

Telegenetic counseling has attracted attention as a preventive measure against the recent COVID-19 pandemic. This systematic review compared telegenetic counseling using videoconferencing versus face-to-face counseling for hereditary cancer.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of telegenetic counseling using videoconferencing versus face-to-face counseling for people with suspected hereditary cancer.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was carried out in December 2021 using the databases of the Japan Medical Abstracts Society, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycInfo, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. The eligibility criteria were studies in which randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or cluster RCTs were conducted among patients with suspected hereditary cancer and their families, comparing telegenetic counseling using videoconferencing with face-to-face genetic counseling. The Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was used to assess the risk of bias of each RCT study. This study was reported according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) guidelines.

Results

Two studies comprising a total of 191 participants were included and used for meta-analysis. Participants were individuals who lived in rural areas or in areas without genetic counselors and were suspected to have breast, colon, ovarian, multiple, or genetic cancer. All outcomes were assessed in only 1 study and their effects could not be discussed explicitly. In one study, there were no significant differences in satisfaction, psychological distress, or a number of genetic tests between face-to-face genetic counseling and telegenetic counseling. The cost per patient for genetic counseling was $106.19 for the telegenetics group and $244.33 for the in-person group. The risk of bias was high in both studies, with a high risk of performance bias, detection bias, and attrition bias.

Conclusions

The results of the two RCTs were described qualitatively. However, the evidence is limited because of the small number of RCT studies on telegenetic counseling and the high risk of bias. Further accumulation of studies is needed in the future.

Published: June 2023

Background

Contemporary guidelines recommend the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) independently of glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes and those with kidney disease, with heart failure, or at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Using a large Israeli database, we assessed whether long-term use of SGLT2is versus dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4is) is associated with kidney benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes overall and in those without evidence of cardiovascular or kidney disease.

Methods

Patients with type 2 diabetes who initiated SGLT2is or DPP4is between 2015 and 2021 were propensity score-matched (1:1) according to 90 parameters. The kidney-specific composite outcome included confirmed ≥40% decline in eGFR or kidney failure. The kidney-or-death outcome included also all-cause mortality. Risks of outcomes were assessed using Cox proportional hazard regression models. The between-group difference in eGFR slope was also assessed. Analyses were repeated in patients' subgroup lacking evidence of cardiovascular or kidney disease.

Results

Overall, 19,648 propensity score-matched patients were included; 10,467 (53%) did not have evidence of cardiovascular or kidney disease. Median follow-up was 38 months (interquartile range, 22–55). The composite kidney-specific outcome occurred at an event rate of 6.9 versus 9.5 events per 1000 patient-years with SGLT2i versus DPP4i. The respective event rates of the kidney-or-death outcome were 17.7 versus 22.1. Compared with DPP4is, initiation of SGLT2is was associated with a lower risk for the kidney-specific (hazard ratio [HR], 0.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61 to 0.86; P < 0.001) and kidney-or-death (HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.71 to 0.89; P < 0.001) outcomes. The respective HRs (95% CI) in those lacking evidence of cardiovascular or kidney disease were 0.67 (0.44 to 1.02) and 0.77 (0.61 to 0.97). Initiation of SGLT2is versus DPP4is was associated with mitigation of the eGFR slope overall and in those lacking evidence of cardiovascular or kidney disease (mean between-group differences 0.49 [95% CI, 0.35 to 0.62] and 0.48 [95% CI, 0.32 to 0.64] ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year, respectively).

Conclusions

Long-term use of SGLT2is versus DPP4is in a real-world setting was associated with mitigation of eGFR loss in patients with type 2 diabetes, even in those lacking evidence of cardiovascular or kidney disease at baseline.

Published: June 2023

Advancement in technology has brought intense but healthy competition among professional bodies in Nigeria, especially in the field of accounting. This has systematically transformed the accounting process from a traditional analog to a digital system. It is on this note that this study examined how disruptive technology affects the efficacy of accounting practice in Nigeria. This study employed a survey research method with the use of a structured questionnaire distributed among professional bodies in Ekiti, Osun, and Ondo States, South Western Nigeria. Regression analysis of Ordinary Least Squares coupled with correlation analysis were employed. The results revealed that artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data, and the internet of things had a significant positive effect on the controlled variable in Nigeria. The results also revealed that cloud computing had insignificant negative effect on the dependent variable. With the F Statistics (7.113) = 109.747, P = 0.000 < 0.05), the results showed a significantly strong relationship between the controlling and controlled variables. It is, thus, recommended the pivotal need for accounting practitioners to enhance their knowledge of disruptive technologies through training and retraining, and continuous attendance of related workshops organized by the respective professional bodies in Nigeria.

Authors: P. Sampan Faith , G. Caballes Dennis
Published: June 2023

Teacher self-efficacy as defined is the teacher’s belief in his own capability to prompt student engagement and learning even when students are difficult or unmotivated. It can also be developed and influenced by a lot of factors such as teacher training, teaching experiences, support from colleagues, and personal characteristics. Burnout as defined by the World Health Organization is a syndrome conceptualized resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is further defined as having three dimensions: a. feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion, b. increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job, and c. reduced professional efficacy. This research aims to see if there is a significant difference in terms of the burnout experienced by teachers when grouped according to unit. It is also aimed to see if there is a significant difference in the teacher’s sense of efficacy of general education and special education teachers. The results revealed that there is no significant difference in terms of burnout experienced by teachers when grouped according to unit. When the teacher’s sense of efficacy was calculated and analyzed, it revealed that there is no significant difference in the teacher’s sense of efficacy of general education and special education teachers.

This study aimed to unravel the influence of anxiety on language learning and examine its implications for student behavior and academic performance. A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted to explore the causes, manifestations, and effects of anxiety on language learners. The relationship between anxiety and student behavior in language learning contexts and its impact on academic performance was a particular focus of the investigation. A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. Surveys, interviews, and observations were used to gather data on anxiety levels, student behavior, and academic performance. The collected data were analyzed using appropriate statistical and qualitative analysis techniques to identify patterns, trends, and correlations. The findings of this study contribute to the existing body of knowledge on anxiety in language learning and provide valuable insights into its implications for student behavior and academic performance. By understanding the impact of anxiety, language educators and institutions can develop effective strategies to support language learners and create a more conducive learning environment. Addressing anxiety in language learning has the potential to enhance student outcomes and promote a positive language-learning experience.
Zwischenevaluierung der Nationalen Strategie zur sozialen Dimension in der Hochschulbildung
Authors:   Fachhochschule Oberösterreich, Park Elke , Preymann Silke
Published: June 2023

Die Nationale Strategie zur sozialen Dimension in der Hochschulbildung wurde 2011 veröffentlicht. Nach der Bologna-Minister*innenkonferenz in Jerewan (2015) startete Österreich mit der Strategieentwicklung und verfügt damit als einer von wenigen Staaten über eine Gesamtstrategie. Wie bereits in Bologna-Vorgängererklärungen (z.B. London Communiqué) festgehalten, verfolgt auch die österreichische Strategie das Ziel, die soziale Zusammensetzung der Studierendenschaft an die Zusammensetzung der Bevölkerung heranzuführen. Die soziale Herkunft beeinflusst die Teilhabe an Hochschulbildung nicht unerheblich, weshalb der Unterrepräsentanz bestimmter Studierendengruppen (z.B. Studierende, die als erste in ihrer Familie studieren, Studierende mit Migrationshintergrund, Studierende mit Behinderung oder auch Frauen in MINT-Fächern und Männer im Lehramt und im Pflegebereich) entgegengewirkt und Studierende mit spezifischen Anforderungen (wie ältere und berufstätige Studierende, Studierende mit Betreuungspflichten, aber auch mit Behinderung oder Beeinträchtigung) verstärkt unterstützt werden sollen. Die Umsetzung der Strategie, die vorerst bis 2025 ausgelegt ist, sieht für 2021 eine Zwischenevaluierung vor, der mit dem vorliegenden Bericht Rechnung getragen wird.

El complejo de Mycobacterium tuberculosis (CMTB) es uno de los patógenos con mayor éxito evolutivo por su alta transmisión en las poblaciones humanas. En el 2022, la OMS estimó que aproximadamente 10.6 millones de personas desarrollaron la fase activa de la enfermedad, principalmente la forma pulmonar (tuberculosis pulmonar, TBP), y alrededor de 1.6 millones, más, fallecieron debido a la tuberculosis (TB). Diversas técnicas con base en el genotipo y la secuencia del genoma de Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) han permitido entender su historia evolutiva y comprender las causas de su propagación mundial. El análisis y las comparaciones de la secuencia de los genomas completos indican que el CMTB se compone de nueve linajes, algunos están específicamente adaptados a los humanos y otros a los animales. La presencia de la mayoría de los linajes en África, hace de este continente el origen del CMTB. Los estudios del genoma del CMTB también han hecho posible la identificación de los genes implicados en su virulencia y patogenicidad, así como en el largo proceso co-evolutivo con su principal hospedero, el ser humano. En esta revisión se describe la diversidad genotípica y fenotípica del CMTB y sus implicaciones clínicas y epidemiológicas.

Published: June 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto gastrointestinal y metabólico en un modelo murino de una botana rica en fibra (maíz, garbanzo, ajonjolí y chía) (BRF) y la comparación con el consumo de una botana comercial de maíz (BCM). La mezcla de maíz, garbanzo, ajonjolí y chía mejoraron la calidad nutricional del producto final a diferencia de la botana comercial. En la evaluación de la ingesta de las diferentes dietas en el modelo murino, la botana rica en fibra (BRF) disminuyó los niveles de colesterol y triglicéridos luego de 30 días de consumo, y la BCM aumentó los niveles de glucosa, provocó metaplasia en el tejido gástrico y redujo la altura de las vellosidades en el tejido del intestino delgado. La reformulación de las botanas, al utilizar además de cereales, leguminosas y oleaginosas, puede ser un alimento funcional de fácil acceso para la población, y una mejor opción que las botanas de baja calidad nutricional que se encuentran en el mercado.
Outline of a Dialogical Theory of Truth
Authors: Álvarez Lisboa Miguel
Published: June 2023

In this essay I propose two theories of truth and show how they deal with semantic paradoxes. Their most salient feature is that they are based on a gametheoretic understanding of logic and meaning. “Truth”, therefore, is understood dialogically, as agreement between parts. I compare this proposal with a similar one already existing in the literature —Dutilh Novaes and French 2018—, and highlight the advantages of mine. The theories of truth I present are non-trivial, substructural (in a sense to be clarified) and capture strong intuitions about truth. Some philosophical recommendations in favor of our understanding of Dialogics are delivered along the way.
Justificación, normatividad e historia: sobre la idea de rememoración en A Spirit of Trust
Authors: Giromini José
Published: June 2023

El propósito de este trabajo es exponer una estrategia explicativa que está en el núcleo de A Spirit of Trust de Robert Brandom. Esta estrategia consiste, de acuerdo con nuestra lectura, en tratar la oposición epistemológica entre apariencias y realidad —y otras oposiciones conceptuales emparentadas— como una distinción interna, normativa e histórica. Mostraremos cómo Brandom hace funcionar esta estrategia apelando al procedimiento de la rememoración, que permite, al ubicar diferentes representaciones en una secuencia de desarrollo histórico, entender la distinción entre apariencias y realidad como la distinción entre cómo nos representamos qué son las cosas y cómo deberíamos representárnoslas.
Pureza del método y construcción de teorías: el caso de Kronecker y Dedekind en teoría algebraica de números
Authors: Nigro Puente Guillermo
Published: June 2023

La discusión sobre pureza del método suele enfatizar el estudio de demostraciones particulares de la práctica matemática. Una crítica a esta posición cuestiona el valor de la pureza al afirmar que el “progreso matemático” depende esencialmente del empleo de métodos impuros. Este artículo muestra que una perspectiva más holística, centrada en cómo las demandas de pureza pueden operar en la construcción de teorías autónomas, permite identificar un contexto donde la pureza del método adquiere valor en la práctica matemática. En particular, se muestra la relevancia de tales demandas en el caso de las teorías algebraicas de números de Kronecker y Dedekind.

La expedición del capitán Zebulón Montgomery Pike del año de 1807 al oeste americano: una perspectiva desde los documentos novohispanos
Authors: Domínguez Cruz Mario Alejandro
Published: June 2023

El principal objetivo del presente artículo es el análisis histórico de la travesía del capitán norteamericano Zebulón Montgomery Pike del año de 1807 al territorio septentrional de la Nueva España. Dentro de la historiografía en español es poco conocido este episodio. A pesar del escaso conocimiento desarrollado sobre el tema desde lado mexicano, parece ser uno de los primeros y más trascendentales antecedentes del expansionismo norteamericano al norte del continente. En la investigación se recurrió a la revisión de la historiografía norteamericana al respecto; por otra parte, se consultaron fuentes de origen novohispano para dar una perspectiva más completa a lo desarrollado por los historiadores de habla inglesa. Entre los archivos consultados desde el lado hispánico resaltan el Archivo General de la Nación, el Archivo General de Indias y archivos locales como el de la ciudad de Chihuahua. Tras el desarrollo del artículo se concluye que el viaje del capitán Zebulón Pike dotó a comerciantes, exploradores y militares angloamericanos de información geográfica estratégica para establecer rutas comerciales y comenzar su avance de expansión al oeste después de la compra del territorio de la Luisiana en 1803.

Design Methods of Elevated Water Tank
Authors: Yadav Nikhil , Mane Sunil
Published: June 2023

Abstract: Elevated water tanks are employed in water distribution facilities in order to provide storage and necessary pressure in water network systems. They consist of huge water mass at the top of a slender staging, which is most critical and strategic structures; damage of these structures during earthquakes may endanger drinking water supply, failure in preventing large fires and may cause substantial economic loss. Their safety and functionality are critical concern during strong earthquakes as they contribute for essential requirement of drinking water. Hence, these structures should not collapse under any circumstances, even after an earthquake. Due to the lack of knowledge of design of the water tanks, there are several incidences where water tanks have severely cracked, damaged and collapsed. So, there is need to focus on safety of lifeline structure with respect to alternate design methodology (viz., working stress method, limit state method). This research activity is preliminary focused on understanding the design methodology adopted in design of elevated water tanks envisaged in IS 3370. The utmost requirement in design of water tanks is crack free structure to eliminate any leakage and possibility of corrosion. Generally, limit state method is widely used in comparison with working stress method. Even the latest version of IS 3370 is inclusive with limit state method which was earlier not there. There are several advantages of using limit state method over working stress method in terms of strength and serviceability

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence proves to be of immense help when it comes to diagnosing of fatal blood-related diseases at an early stage. With the help of AI-enhanced microscopes, we are now able to scan for harmful substances and bacteria in samples of blood. AI is a trending development in science and technology to allow different machines and methodologies to understand such bacteria in the blood samples. The current research experiment is attempted to analyses the collective data from various sources available through the researches on the study of disease such as skin, pancreatic cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes, dementia and Alzheimer’s. The experimental outcome effectively reflects the early detection of above-mentioned disease through the use of Artificial Intelligence technology further expanding the zone of scientific determining of such diseases.

Retailers are increasingly looking to foster customers' engagement and trust to build strong customer relationships. One way to achieve this goal is by using music to create an attractive store atmosphere. This study tested the role of retail store music in facilitating customers' engagement
and trust. We also examined the mediating effect of customer engagement in this relationship. Responses obtained from surveying 464 shoppers in three supermarkets of the same chain in China were analyzed with Amos 22.0. The findings suggested that perceived pleasantness of store music had
a positive impact on customer engagement, which, in turn, positively affected customer trust. This study enhances understanding of the impact of store music on customers' engagement and trust, and provides retailers with practical insights into building customer relationships by using music
cues in their stores.

The express delivery industry has played a key role in people's lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to concerns about the virus, people frequently ostracize services from couriers, which can damage the couriers' motivation and make them consider seeking other work. In this
study we explored how customer ostracism influenced turnover intention among couriers. Using a questionnaire survey of 529 couriers administered at two time points, we found that customer ostracism was positively and significantly correlated with couriers' turnover intention and that this
relationship was mediated by work stress and moderated by perceived organizational support. These results enrich our knowledge of the antecedents and mechanisms related to employees' turnover intention during the pandemic, as well as having important practical implications for the management
of couriers' work stress and the prevention of their turnover intention.

Published: June 2023

Objectives This analysis deals with nine English I textbooks for the 2015 revised curriculum. We investigated the lexical and syntactic features of the text in the listening section activities.
Methods To verify lexical features, the quantity of vocabulary words, vocabulary types, and terms with high frequency by publisher were verified, as well as the figures of lexical variety. The average word length and sentence length for each textbook, as well as the high frequency of frequent exposure, were studied in order to analyze the syntactic features. Each textbook's English listening section was compiled as a corpus file for each chapter, and the findings were analyzed by the WordSmith 7.0 tool.
Results A total of 26,671 vocabulary words were collected, and 3,569 corpus types were identified. The lexical features revealed that among the nine textbooks in the listening section activity, the textbook with the largest vocabulary contained approximately 4,000 words, while the textbook with the least vocabulary contained about 2,000 words. In nine textbooks, the percentage of verbs and nouns was fairly high. The average length per word was 4.11, and the average length per sentence was 8.23, as a result of the syntactic features.
Conclusions It will be important to provide suggested basic vocabulary independently, as well as to alter so that there is no significant variation among textbooks. Furthermore, it implies that teachers may grasp the variations in the textbooks and resolve learning deviations with supplemental materials for learners to use.
Robust and Efficient Hamiltonian Learning

Published: June 2023

With the fast development of quantum technology, the sizes of both digital and analog quantum systems increase drastically. In order to have better control and understanding of the quantum hardware, an important task is to characterize the interaction, i.e., to learn the Hamiltonian, which determines both static and dynamic properties of the system. Conventional Hamiltonian learning methods either require costly process tomography or adopt impractical assumptions, such as prior information on the Hamiltonian structure and the ground or thermal states of the system. In this work, we present a robust and efficient Hamiltonian learning method that circumvents these limitations based only on mild assumptions. The proposed method can efficiently learn any Hamiltonian that is sparse on the Pauli basis using only short-time dynamics and local operations without any information on the Hamiltonian or preparing any eigenstates or thermal states. The method has a scalable complexity and a vanishing failure probability regarding the qubit number. Meanwhile, it performs robustly given the presence of state preparation and measurement errors and resiliently against a certain amount of circuit and shot noise. We numerically test the scaling and the estimation accuracy of the method for transverse field Ising Hamiltonian with random interaction strengths and molecular Hamiltonians, both with varying sizes and manually added noise. All these results verify the robustness and efficacy of the method, paving the way for a systematic understanding of the dynamics of large quantum systems.

This study analyzes the implementation of e-marketing in the accommodation business model innovation on Airbnb sites in Bali. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews and literature study. Data analysis was descriptive qualitative using Porter's Five Force Models (PFFM). This model is used to analyze competitive forces in marketing accommodation in Bali through the airbnb website. The results showed that the implementation of e-marketing in the innovation of the tourism accommodation business model on the Airbnb site in Bali by applying the PFFM proved to be quite effective. The competitive advantages of the Airbnb site are: multiple listings, two booking process confirmation systems, smaller booking commissions, competitive prices, no disparity rates, ease of registration, and marketing unique accommodation titles. Implementation of Porter's model is used to increase accommodation unit revenue by accepting bookings on the Airbnb situs site.

Authors: Ramírez Monsalve Edgar , Vargas Naranjo Lina Marcela
Published: June 2023

Este artículo recoge reflexiones y análisis sobre la coyuntura política y social en Colombia, a raíz del paro nacional realizado por las organizaciones sociales y sindicales en el año 2021. Se abordan situaciones sociales y políticas vivenciadas en este período coyuntural, como la participación de diferentes sectores sociales, el manejo que le dio el gobierno del presidente Duque a las actuaciones de la policía nacional, al comportamiento y los relacionamientos entre Estado y sociedad civil, y al contexto internacional con los pronunciamientos de la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, respecto a la crisis y al estallido social que afectó a Colombia por alrededor de cuatro meses en dicho año. De otro lado, se hace énfasis en el papel de las mujeres en este movimiento sociopolítico para mostrar la significación de los nuevos liderazgos y compromisos ciudadanos.

Published: June 2023

La dislipidemia corresponde a una alteración de los lípidos en el plasma, lo que significa un aumento de colesterol y/o triglicéridos plasmáticos. Objetivos. Describir los mecanismos fisiopatológicos detrás de la dislipidemia y determinar cómo estos se aplican a los tratamientos. Metodología. Tras una búsqueda bibliográfica exhaustiva de 85 estudios publicados hasta el año 2011, se identificaron los aspectos más importantes tanto de la fisiología, fisiopatología, complicaciones y terapéuticas de esta patología. Resultados. Los mecanismos fisiopatológicos de la dislipidemia se subdividen en mecanismos primarios y secundarios. El tratamiento de la dislipidemia consta de terapias farmacológicas y no farmacológicas, incluyendo en estos últimos, cambios en el estilo de vida que modifiquen la dieta y el ejercicio físico. Dentro de las terapias farmacológicas, se han estudiado a lo largo del tiempo múltiples fármacos y sus interacciones al combinar con otros de estos, siendo los mecanismos más estudiados la inhibición de la síntesis endógena de colesterol, inhibición de la degradación del receptor de LDL, inhibición de la absorción del colesterol, atrapamiento de los ácidos biliares, disminución de la síntesis de lipoproteínas de muy baja densidad y síntesis de triglicéridos. Conclusión.La dislipidemia se conoce actualmente a nivel más molecular, su correcta compresión nos permite tomar mejores decisiones terapéuticas.
Retrato de la cuenca media-alta del río Atrato, una aproximación desde la historia ambiental
Authors: García Jurado Mayra Alejandra , Soto Urrea Wilson Hernando
Published: June 2023

Introducción. Este artículo expone una aproximación a la historia ambiental de la cuenca media-alta del Río Atrato. Bajo el paradigma interpretativo de las ciencias sociales, se toman las nociones culturales alrededor del Río como objeto de estudio, lo que permitió entender la relación bilateral entre naturaleza y sociedad en el territorio. Metodología. Para lograr este cometido se sistematizaron y analizaron fuentes primarias (testimonios y leyes) y secundarias (literatura académica). Resultados. De esta manera se concretaron tres hitos históricos que encierran la representación de diversos actores sociales sobre la fuente hídrica (1. Como un recurso fluvial a investigar y colonizar; 2. Cómo una fuente de explotación de oro; 3. Como parte fundamental de la supervivencia humana). El ejercicio permitió narrar la historia del Río Atrato desde la acción antrópica, aportando así a la comprensión del impacto se las acciones humanas en la naturaleza. Conclusiones. Finalmente, se concluye que las comunidades étnicas son quienes han construido una relación más consciente con el Río y es justamente por ello que se recomienda priorizar sus propuestas y acciones para dar una ejecución más eficaz a los dictámenes de la Sentencia T622 de 2016, desde la cual se concibe al Río Atrato como una entidad sujeta de derechos.

El conjunto de artículos reunidos en este libro en torno a las literaturas del Eje Cafetero, deja ver la pertinencia de la investigación literaria en un territorio que ha venido consolidándose como región cultural. Desde distintas perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas, se plantean propuestas que interrogan sobre autores poco trabajados en la crítica y que en general están ausentes en las historias de la literatura nacional, valorando su obra en un sentido estético, emocional o artístico; se abordan fenómenos como la crítica literaria o la aparición de distintos tipos de géneros textuales, que han sido fundamentales en la tradición de una cultura escrita también en las regiones; se introducen nuevas categorías de análisis en obras que podríamos considerar canónicas, desde perspectivas que problematizan su pertenencia a estas mismas tradiciones; o se abren algunos interrogantes sobre las literaturas de negros y negras, y en el tema crucial de la literatura femenina, en el que creemos el libro tiene notables aportes.
