Prise de Conscience et Révolte Féminines dans Taaw de Sembène Ousmane
Authors: Daniel Annan-Edufful
Published: December 2024

The feminine mentality of pain is inevitable and suffering is optional is never perennial in the matter of the exigencies of patriarchy. When women become conscious of the excessive limits of pain, even the devil becomes envious of unequaled meanness on their part. In other words, where rigorous, ritualized dominance and subordination carries the day in the life of women, revolt without sufficient premeditation becomes the necessary sequel. This paper looks at manifestations of such a phenomenon, revealing glaringly of happenings in even today’s interactions between partners making it thus a must-read article.

Authors: Condori Cruz Pedro César
Published: December 2024

El propósito que nos condujo concretar el estudio fue, explicar el procedimiento del ritual andino a la papa nueva en las comunidades originarias aimaras de Acora, Puno Perú; cuyo estudio realizado es revelado desde el enfoque cualitativo, debido a que, la naturaleza peculiar de saberes y conocimientos de los propios agricultores han sido analizados e interpretados. Asimismo, el tipo de investigación que se asumió fue etnográfico, puesto que, el estudio se realizó mediante la observación y la descripción de lo que hace el agricultor aimara. Los resultados mostraron que el trato comunicativo del agricultor aimara con la Madre Tierra no es una relación fría racional, sino que está cargada de afectividad y constancia; es una corresponden­cia de convivencia entre el aimara y su cultivo divino que contempla, motiva y concede frutos cuando se mantiene en armonía con los ciclos de la naturaleza. Cuya conclusión establece que, la semilla nueva de la papa que se extrae de las entrañas de la chacra, es conferida recíprocamente por la Pachamama, dado que, el agricultor aimara tuvo un vínculo armonioso con todas las divinidades de la naturaleza; la tan anhelada madre papita es acogida con elogios y besos en una estalla multicolor, acordonando con serpentinas, flores de rosas, claveles, cantutas y otras; asimismo, roseado con vino, dulzones multicolores de diversos tamaños, embalsamado con complaciente aroma de incienso que denota el recibimiento de todo corazón al nuevo tubérculo y, tributo de gracias a la Madre tierra de parte de todos los integrantes de la familia.

Published: December 2024

Estimates of discuss quality that are rectify are basic to natural administration and open wellbeing. The perplexing transient relationships in discuss quality estimations have demonstrated troublesome for conventional approaches to get it. This paper evaluates the discuss quality expectation execution of repetitive neural systems (RNNs), in specific long short-term memory (LSTM) systems. Taking into account factors like contaminants and climate designs, LSTM models look at authentic information on discuss contamination. Since these models are able to capture long-term conditions and oversee non-linear associations, they outflank customary strategies in recognizing designs and connections between factors. Our discoveries appear that LSTMs have a extraordinary bargain of potential for discuss contamination expectation.

This research explores the challenges faced by parents in educating children. This research uses an interview method approach. The aim of this research is to look at parents' teaching patterns towards children in the digital era, especially in terms of the use and use of gadgets. This research study is also to illustrate the values of the Amoris Laetitia document regarding joy in the family with the parenting patterns of children. The research results show that parents are still used to their children's rigid needs, lack of consistent discipline, parents who do not understand the dangers of gadgets, so they do not understand the positive and negative impacts of using gadgets. Parents find it difficult to control the social environment and the needs provided by parents are limited to physical needs but there are no spiritual needs. However, this research is far from perfect and there are many shortcomings, therefore future researchers are advised to conduct research in different locations to see whether the results are consistent or whether there are differences that arise due to differences in culture, geography or social conditions, but focus more on Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially its impact on children's education and parenting patterns.
Advancements in Finite Element Analysis for Tire Performance: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Koul Parankush
Published: December 2024

Tires are important components of vehicles and the force between the vehicle and the ground is transmitted through the tires. So, they have a significant effect on the vehicle’s performance such as ride, traction, braking, and handling. Traditional tire design is mainly based on theoretical design, which is heavy in workload, long in time consumption, high in cost, and low in accuracy, and is difficult to fulfill the demands of fast expansion of the tire industry. With the advancement of finite element analysis (FEA), finite element simulation models have been widely used in tire mechanics research to predict tire behavior, to refine design of tires and improve tire safety, performance, and durability. This comprehensive review presents recent developments in finite element technology which have high potential for application to tire failures and better understanding of modeling needs of tires.
Heavy Metals in Baby Foods and Cereal Products
Authors: R Depa Keshava
Published: December 2024

Lead and cadmium are toxic elements; when ingested or inhaled, they can lead to several diseases, a list of which is shown below. The diseases affect children, especially infants under the age of five. This work analyzes 63 baby foods and cereal products for lead and cadmium, and the analysis is done with an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) with a Shimadzu double-beam atomic absorption analyzer, AA-6300. Lead and cadmium were established to vary between 0.32- 10.64μ g/kg and 0.3-10.37 μg /kg, respectively. Altogether, 49.21% of the samples have lead above the LOD, while the rest have it below this value. In the samples analyzed for cadmium, more than 85 percent of the samples had detectable levels. The results of lead and cadmium in the milk powder products were relatively low, with the said metals detected at levels below 10μg/kg in all the samples, being between 0.85- 7.26 μg / kg for lead and between 0.1 – 4.75 μg /kg for cadmium. The young infants were most exposed to these heavy metals through the consumption of cereal-based products. Still, in any case, the calculated concentrations were lower than the permitted regulatory limits prescribed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006, which limits the metals in food to 20μg/kg for lead in infant formula and 100 μg/kg for cadmium in cereals (EC 2006). As much as the levels established in this study were within the legal limits, the high prevalence of lead and cadmium added to baby foods poses future health risks to vulnerable groups, requires more raw material and processing control, and better regulation of admixture safety standards.

Published: December 2024

Cel. Celem niniejszej pracy jest analiza i przedstawienie skutecznych strategii oraz działań służących zapobieganiu izolacji społecznej seniorów doświadczających zaburzeń poznawczych i ich rodzinnych opiekunów. Liczne badania pokazują, że czynniki takie jak brak wsparcia społecznego, niska świadomość społeczna na temat zaburzeń poznawczych oraz niedostateczne zasoby instytucjonalne przyczyniają się do pogłębiania wykluczenia tej grupy osób. A to wszystko niewątpliwie przyczynia się do obniżenia jakości życia zarówno samych seniorów, jak również członków ich rodzin. Metody i materiały. Metoda jakościowa. Analiza treści publikacji naukowych dotyczących profilaktyki wykluczenia społecznego seniorów z zaburzeniami poznawczymi i ich opiekunów rodzinnych. Wyniki i wnioski. Profilaktyka powinna obejmować działania edukacyjne, wsparcie emocjonalne i psychologiczne, rozwój sieci wsparcia społecznego oraz dostęp do usług medycznych i rehabilitacyjnych. Ważnym elementem jest również wsparcie rodzin, które często stają się głównymi opiekunami osób z zaburzeniami poznawczymi. Wdrażanie kompleksowych programów profilaktycznych może przyczynić się do poprawy jakości życia zarówno seniorów, jak i ich opiekunów, co przeciwdziała wykluczeniu społecznemu oraz promuje integrację społeczną. Istotne jest także rozwijanie polityk publicznych
oraz inicjatyw lokalnych, które wspierają tworzenie przyjaznego środowiska dla seniorów, w tym dostępu do edukacji, kultury i rekreacji. Kluczowe jest zaangażowanie różnych sektorów społecznych, takich jak służba zdrowia, organizacje pozarządowe, samorządy oraz społeczności lokalne, w tworzenie spójnych i zintegrowanych działań na rzecz seniorów i ich rodzinnych opiekunów.

Authors: Piotrowska Maja Sonia
Published: December 2024

Cel. Zagadnienie odporności psychicznej dzieci i młodzieży jest w ostatnim czasie szeroko analizowane i dyskutowane w różnych gremiach naukowych. Kondycja psychiczna najmłodszego pokolenia jawi się nam w dość ciemnych barwach. Co roku obserwujemy lawinowy wzrost zaburzeń lękowych i zachorowań na depresję. Osoby młode często mówią o doskwierających im: dużym stresie, poczuciu niepewności, braku wiary w siebie. Miniona pandemia Covid-19 znacznie pogorszyła psychospołeczne funkcjonowanie dzieci i młodzieży, doświadczyły przymusowej izolacji, poczucia osamotnienia i pustki, nadmiernego stresu, wielu strat. Badacze i specjaliści – praktycy pracujący na co dzień w gabinetach – intensywnie poszukują nowych rozwiązań, różnych sposobów wsparcia i pomocy młodemu pokoleniu. Metody i materiały. Tematyka prezentowanego artykułu dotyczy wspierania odporności psychicznej dzieci. Analizie teoretycznej poddano następujące zagadnienia: rozumienie odporności psychicznej w różnych koncepcjach naukowych – modele odporności psychicznej, czynniki ochronne i czynniki ryzyka dla zdrowego rozwoju psychicznego dziecka, charakterystyka dziecka odpornego psychicznie, znaczenie sposobu sprawowania nad nim opieki. Wyniki i wnioski. Dużo uwagi poświęcono zaakcentowaniu ogromnej roli rodziców i opiekunów w kształtowaniu i wzmacnianiu odporności psychicznej dzieci, miedzy innymi podkreślając zasadę „odporni rodzice – odporne dzieci”, wskazując na ogromny wpływ zasobów psychicznych rodziny w kształtowaniu odporności psychicznej dziecka. Ostatnią część artykułu stanowią z kolei wskazówki dla rodziców i opiekunów odnośnie do sposobów, w jakie mogą wspierać odporność u swoich dzieci.

Authors: Duch-Krzystoszek Danuta , Prokopczuk Magda
Published: December 2024

Cel. Celem artykułu jest próba opisu potrzeb osób starszych – uczestników powstania warszawskiego – i odpowiedź na pytanie, jak na te potrzeby odpowiada Dom Powstańców Warszawskich – instytucja przeznaczona dla tej specyficznej grupy osób, prowadzona przez jednostkę miejską Centrum Aktywności Międzypokoleniowej. Ważnym wątkiem rozważań jest również współpraca pracowników Domu z rodzinami w zakresie codziennego wsparcia i opieki nad jego podopiecznymi. Metody i materiały. Materiał empiryczny został zebrany w badaniu jakościowym zrealizowanym metodą indywidualnych wywiadów pogłębionych z pracownikami i wolontariuszami
Domu Powstańców Warszawskich oraz z powstańcami. Przeanalizowano także treści stron internetowych i materiałów (artykułów, broszur informacyjnych, wzmianek) zarówno wskazanych przez kierownictwo placówki, jak również dostępnych w przestrzeni wirtualnej na oficjalnych portalach Urzędu m. st. Warszawy i innych partnerów współpracujących z tą instytucją. Wyniki i wnioski. Potrzeby uczestników powstania zmieniają się na skutek postępującego procesu starzenia się, ograniczania sprawności psychofizycznej i możliwości adaptacji społecznej. Duża grupa powstańców mieszka w jednoosobowych gospodarstwach domowych i wymaga wsparcia w codziennym funkcjonowaniu. Dom Powstańców Warszawskich reaguje na zmieniające się potrzeby podopiecznych poprzez podejmowanie nowych
funkcji (koordynacja usług instytucji miasta, nowe usługi Domu). W zaspokajaniu potrzeb podopiecznych Dom Powstańców Warszawskich współpracuje z instytucjami miasta i z rodzinami. Podczas planowania miejskiej polityki senioralnej władze miasta powinny mieć na uwadze, że starość jest długim okresem życia człowieka, a zbiorowość osób starszych nie jest monolitem. Proces starzenia się wiąże się ze zmieniającymi się potrzebami, których rodzina nie zawsze jest w stanie zaspokoić. Szczególnie należy zwrócić uwagę na grupę osób sędziwych o zwiększonych potrzebach i mniejszych możliwościach ich zaspokajania.
Family assistance – social support for families with many problems
Authors: Zawada Anna
Published: December 2024

Wprowadzenie. Świat, w którym współcześnie żyjemy, ze względu na szybki rozwój technik informacyjnych i telekomunikacji stwarza człowiekowi bardzo dużo możliwości. Jednocześnie te szybkie zmiany dokonujące się w sferze współczesnego życia społecznego powodują nieprzejrzystość, a także niepewność sytuacji, w jakich ludziom przyszło funkcjonować. Wiele rodzin nie potrafi sobie poradzić z nowymi wyzwaniami i problemami. Niejednokrotnie taki stan rzeczy sprzyja zachowaniom ryzykownym. Szczególnie w trudnej sytuacji znajdują się rodziny niezaradne życiowo, niewydolne wychowawczo lub patologiczne. Zazwyczaj cechuje je niski poziom kultury pedagogicznej, nie są w stanie w sposób właściwy oddziaływać na rozwój, socjalizację i wychowanie swoich dzieci. Są też bezradne w wypełnianiu życiowych funkcji. Gdy poziom problemów przerasta możliwości rodziny, wówczas potrzebna jest pomoc z zewnątrz. Cel. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest próba zainicjowania dyskusji nad możliwymi działaniami podejmowanymi przez asystentów rodziny względem rodzin objętych wsparciem. W artykule scharakteryzowana została także osoba asystenta rodziny oraz jego działania i zakres zadań. To również próba zwrócenia uwagi na fakt, jak zróżnicowane w ponowoczesnym świecie są formy życia rodzinnego. Praca w tak zróżnicowanych środowiskach
stanowi duże wyzwanie dla asystenta rodziny. Metody i materiały. Przegląd i krytyczna analiza literatury pedagogicznej i socjologicznej. Wyniki i wnioski. Z przeprowadzonych analiz wynika, że aktualnie asystowanie rodzinie z wieloma problemami stało się rozwiązaniem strukturalno-organizacyjnym wykorzystującym potencjał i zasoby beneficjenta. Niestandardowość zadań asystenta rodziny
obliguje go natomiast do ustawicznego podnoszenia swoich kompetencji i doskonalenia metod pracy. Ważne jest też, aby realizując swoje zadania, asystent rodziny przejął na siebie rolę koordynatora działań innych służb społecznych pracujących na rzecz dzieci i rodziny.

Published: December 2024

Cel. W związku z tym, że problematyka obejmująca zagadnienie współpracy szkoły z rodziną od lat znajduje zainteresowanie wśród naukowców i praktyków, w literaturze przedmiotu można znaleźć liczne i wielowymiarowe publikacje w tym zakresie. W niniejszym
artykule wątek ten odnosi się do kobiet-matek w kryzysie bezdomności, co otwiera nową przestrzeń badawczą, bowiem aspekt tytułowej współpracy nie został podjęty w polskich badaniach przedmiotu. Celem badania jest ocena jakości współpracy szkoły z rodziną z perspektywy pedagoga szkolnego. Metody i materiały. Przeprowadzone badanie ma charakter jakościowy. Posłużono się instrumentalnym studium przypadku, techniką badawczą natomiast był wywiad indywidualny. Wyniki i wnioski. Analiza wypowiedzi uczestniczki badania wskazuje na wyraźną przewagę tych komponentów tytułowej współpracy, które ograniczają jej efektywność. W oparciu o zgromadzony materiał badawczy można sformułować następujące trzy kategorie współpracy: I kategoria uwzględnia temporalny wymiar doświadczania bezdomności (im dłuższy czas kryzysu bezdomności, tym współpraca oceniana jest jako trudniejsza), II kategoria obejmuje specyfikę psychospołecznego funkcjonowania kobiet w kryzysie bezdomności (roszczeniowość, instrumentalny charakter współpracy, niskie kompetencje rodzicielskie,
brak lub niewystarczające zaangażowanie), III kategoria dotyczy przeszłości kobiet w kryzysie bezdomności (doświadczenia biograficzne w toku życia). Nie ulega wątpliwości, że wyniki niniejszego badania uwzględniają jedynie pewny aspekt tego zjawiska, w związku z czym mogą one stanowić wstęp do szerszych, pogłębionych badań w tym zakresie, zwłaszcza że problematyka podjęta w artykule jest pomijana w literaturze przedmiotu.
Optimizing Weather Forecasting Accuracy via Radial Basis Function Networks, Convolutional Neural Networks and Convolutional Neural Networks
Authors: Waweru Kabue C. , Mutua Matheka A. , Kabue Priscilla N.
Published: December 2024

Weather forecasting is crucial for various sectors, including agriculture, disaster management, and infrastructure planning. However, traditional prediction models such as Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) and ARIMA often struggle with long-term accuracy due to the nonlinear and chaotic nature of atmospheric phenomena. The primary objective of this study was to develop and compare the performance of Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFNs), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), and Long Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTMs) in predicting key weather variables such as temperature, humidity, sea-level pressure, windspeed, and rainfall. Historical meteorological data from the Kenya Meteorological Department, spanning a decade, was used to train and evaluate the models. The methodology employed included data preprocessing, model training with a 70-15-15 split for training, validation, and testing, and performance evaluation using Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and training time as key metrics. The results revealed that RBFNs consistently outperformed CNNs and LSTMs, particularly for stable variables like temperature and sea-level pressure, with lower RMSE and faster training times. CNNs and LSTMs, while better at capturing complex temporal patterns, struggled with chaotic variables such as rainfall and windspeed, exhibiting higher error rates and longer training times. In conclusion, RBFNs were found to be the most efficient and accurate model for real-time weather forecasting in resource-constrained environments, whereas CNNs and LSTMs may require additional tuning or hybrid approaches to improve their forecasting of more dynamic weather variables.
Urban Informality and Its Impacts on Sustainable Urbanism: A Review Using Selected Indicators in Kayole Informal Settlement in Nairobi
Authors: Odongo Janes O. , Ma Donghui , Opeyo Peter O.
Published: December 2024

Sustainable urbanism is a fundamental element of sustainable development as envisaged under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs) and the New Urban Agenda (NUA). Among the key bottlenecks to sustainability are urban poverty and informality. These breed developmental ills, including crime, conflicts, pollution, overcrowding, disease and illicit trade practices. Still, studies and policies acknowledge the urban informals (housing, commerce and industry) for safeguarding poor citizens’ right to the city, protecting livelihoods and reducing survivalist crimes, especially, in cities of the global South. This paper uses illustrations from Kayole Informal Settlement in Nairobi to examine the impacts of informal urban solid waste management and trade practices, and suggest synergies for overcoming them. Guided by sustainable development and sustainable urbanism theories, the descriptive study explores and mitigates select infrastructural, economic, health, environmental and governance indicators affected by informality, and which impact the realization of globally agreed development pathways. Its data was collected through questionnaires, Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), observation, literature review and mapwork (ArcMap and Google Earth). The resulting findings show minimal progress towards sustainability and pinpoint intervention areas Nairobi should work on to lift residents from extreme poverty as opposed to making the city functional and liveable for the poor.
Environmental Implications of Sand Harvesting. Insights from Archer’s Post, Samburu County.
Authors: Lemeleny Samuel , Namalwa Silva M.
Published: December 2024

Sand harvesting is identified as a common socio economic activity, which is practiced globally, regionally and locally. In accordance with this understanding, this study seeks to assess and find out the key factors that have led to increase in sand extraction, and environmental implications of sand extraction in Archer’s’ Post, Samburu County. The sampling technique employed in the study involved both probabilistic (stratified and simple random sampling) and non-probabilistic (purposive sampling). A target population of 135 individuals from local residents, sand harvesters (sand miners, sand loaders, and sand transporters), chiefs, officers from Ministry of Land and NEMA offices. Questionnaires and key informant interview schedules were used to obtain data and observation while the data was analyzed by using statistical software such as SPSS and Microsoft Excel. The results were highlighted by bar graphs, tables and pie charts The survey findings were summarized using bar graphs, tabulation and pie charts. From the study it was established that sand mining in Archer’s Post is largely as a result of desperate need for an income source, need for construction materials form infrastructure and other development needs and generally a sheer economic force. Such environmental impacts include soil erosion, change of vegetation cover, and reduced water quality as a result of sedimentation in the local rivers and streams. These effects have been seen to negatively affect agriculture, diversity of species and the eco-system in the region. The study also revealed gaps of the current regulations, which do not provide an effective mechanism for the management and minimization of the environmental impacts of sand extraction. Some of the issues that are worthy of mention and solved in the near future for a sustainable sand harvesting scheme include the weak civil society involvement and engagement in environmental management, limited compliance with the set laws, and substandard harvesting techniques, as well as insufficient funding of monitoring and restoration programs. The results suggest that there be improvement in practices that will reduce the impact of sand mining on the environment.

Authors: Yatich Frankline , Karanja Amon , Obulinji Humphreys
Published: December 2024

Climate variability has lowered agricultural productivity, and aggravated foodinsecurity, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Small-scale farmers are especially susceptible to the negative impacts of climate change because their livelihoods depend on rain-fed agriculture This study sought to assess the current climate-smart agricultural practices used by farmers in the Soy Sub-County and the level of adoption of these Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices. The study utilized a survey method that utilized questionnaires and interviews among 196 households and seven key informants, respectively. The results revealed that the main farming system was maize farming (61%) and livestock(87%). On average, farmers owned 5-10 acres of land (32%). As part of CSA, most of the participants do fodder conservation (85%) using conventional methods. In terms of CSA, most farmers adopted improved livestock breeds that are resistant to drought and parasites and improved nutrition (94% and 82%, respectively), and changing the planting patterns (94%). The rate of CSA adoption rates varies from practice to practice depending on demographic factors. Age significantly affects the CSA adoption (p=0.029, t=-21.777, CI=0.05). On the other hand, the soil type positively influenced the farmers’ adoption of CSA practices (p=0.042). Other socio-economic variables such as gender, household, experience, and education had no significant statistical effect on the adoption of CSA.

ANALYSIS OF COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS IN STRESS SITUATIONS FOR BUILDING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Authors: Ryabchikova Nataliya , Sychev Sergey , Bulankina Anastasiya
Published: December 2024

The formation of the information structure of artificial intelligence is closely related to the methods of formal description of the cognitive functions of the human brain (algebraic biology, algorithmic description and construction of mathematical models). In real life, there is usually no complete information about the state of the external environment, so it is believed that the brain's ability to make probabilistic predictions is one of the forms of intellectual activity. Perhaps, the "learning matrix" of the brain chooses the "correct" algorithms for solving the problem by forecasting, creating an "internal model of the external world" corresponding to the real situation, and the processes of probabilistic forecasting are implemented by the range of readiness of all body systems for expected events. Probabilistic forecasting is based on the rules of information processing by the human brain.

Research on Civil Servant Incentive Mechanism
Authors: Zhou Lili
Published: December 2024

Civil servants are the largest group to participate in the exercise of state power. With the advent of globalization, the importance of civil servants to the country is becoming more and more obvious. Whether civil servants have profound cognitive power, strong execution power and United spirit is related to the administrative efficiency of the government. Therefore, it is very important to study the incentive mechanism of civil servants. In recent years, the incentive mechanism of civil servants in China has gradually moved towards a scientific and institutionalized track. The motivation of civil servants should adhere to the organic unity of material motivation and spiritual motivation, and at the same time pay attention to the principle of unifying the merit system, incentive standards and incentive effects of grassroots civil servants. However, in reality, there are still some problems in the civil service system, such as the design of salary system is not strong, the design of promotion system is insufficient for grassroots civil servants, the design of training system can not effectively promote the career development of grassroots civil servants, and there is a lack of perfect fault-tolerant and error-correcting mechanism for civil servants. Incentive is conducive to civil servants to give full play to their potential, show their talents and perform their duties. Therefore, it is very important to achieve effective incentives for civil servants.

Authors: Li Ping
Published: December 2024

As the global trend of population aging intensifies, the multifaceted impacts of aging on the economy are becoming increasingly apparent, especially in the areas of monetary policy and the real estate market. This paper aims to explore the intrinsic relationship between population aging, the effectiveness of monetary policy, and real estate prices. By analyzing the impact of demographic changes on consumption, savings, and investment behavior, the paper further reveals how aging affects the transmission mechanism of monetary policy and examines the role of monetary policy in real estate price fluctuations. The paper begins by defining the current status of population aging and discussing its broad economic impacts, followed by an analysis of the tools and transmission mechanisms of monetary policy and its specific effects on the real estate market. Based on the construction of a theoretical model, this paper also empirically tests the responses of the real estate market to monetary policy in different countries and regions facing aging societies. Finally, based on both theoretical and empirical research results, policy recommendations are made regarding the adjustment of monetary policy and regulation of the real estate market in the context of an aging society. This study provides theoretical support and practical guidance for policymakers to address the challenges that population aging brings to economic policy.

This research aims to build a strategy for the implementation of child protection for migrant workers. The poor condition shows that there is a social phenomenon for the welfare of migrant workers' families. The rights of migrant workers have not been optimally provided. The care of children of migrant workers who are left behind by parents working abroad has a great influence on the development of their children. The education of children of PMI families is in good condition if communication is established with their parents. The strategy that should be carried out is to build collaboration between various parties (PMI families, village governments, and non-governmental organizations that observe children or communities at the village and private levels).
Systemic Therapy in Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer: A Review
Authors: Colombo Alfredo , Maria Porretto Concetta
Published: December 2024

The prognosis for pancreatic cancer is still poor, because it is typically identified at an advanced, frequently metastatic stage. Recently, a sequential treatment for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) has been developed. When the performance status is good, combination chemotherapy regimens such FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel are options for first-line treatment. Gemcitabine monotherapy is a viable choice for patients with lower performance status. Recently, olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, was showed to enhance the amount of time patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) and a BRCA1/-2 germ line mutation can live without their disease worsening. If the initial treatment is unsuccessful, patients should be provided with an alternative treatment option if their ECOG score allows for continued treatment. The combination of 5-FU/FA with nanoliposomal irinotecan has demonstrated better overall survival compared to 5-FU/FA alone. Immune checkpoint drugs like PD1/PD-L1 mAbs are particularly efficacious in malignancies with high microsatellite instability (MSI-h). Limited data in mPDACs suggests that only a part of the already tiny subgroup of MSI-H mPDACs (frequency approximately 1%) appears to benefit substantially from a checkpoint inhibitor treatment. The identification of other subgroups, may further increase therapeutic efficacy.

Aim The calcified epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare, benign lesion, accounting for approximately 1% of odontogenic tumors. The primary treatment involves surgical excision, with a documented recurrence rate of 14%. This case report aims to contribute to the literature by presenting the radiological and histopathological findings, along with the surgical management, of a CEOT located in an unusual area in a female patient under 20 years old.
Case Report An 18-year-old female patient was referred to our clinic due to an incidental lesion located between the left maxillary premolar teeth. A delayed positive response was noted in the cold vitality test performed on asymptomatic, caries-free premolars. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed a radiolucent lesion between the premolars, displacing the root of tooth 24 buccally and expanding the palatal cortex, with central radiopacity. Under local anesthesia, a palatal mucoperiosteal flap was raised, and a window was created in the palatal cortex using a surgical bur. The lesion was then enucleated with a curette, and the flap was sutured. Histopathological analysis showed polyhedral tumor cells among large and small calcification islands, confirming a diagnosis of CEOT.
Discussion Although treatment options may vary based on CEOT location and size, enucleation remains the most common approach.
Conclusion Given the high recurrence rate, long-term follow-up is essential. The patient has been followed up every six months, with no recurrence observed over a two-year period.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as percepções de discentes do primeiro ano de Licenciatura em Matemática sobre as possibilidades de trabalhar a História da Matemática. A pesquisa qualitativa foi realizada com 26 estudantes de uma universidade do Paraná, que cursavam a disciplina de Introdução à Educação Matemática. Utilizou-se um questionário que abordava diferentes formas de integrar a HM no ensino, com foco específico para esse estudo em cinco das abordagens propostas pelos autores: trechos históricos, projetos de pesquisa baseados em textos históricos, fontes primárias, fichas de atividades e pacotes históricos. A análise dos dados, fundamentada na Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin (2011), revelou que os alunos mostraram preferências por algumas abordagens, como projetos de pesquisa baseados em textos históricos e fichas de atividades, além de experiências ao ar livre. No entanto, outras possibilidades, como o uso de trechos históricos, fontes primárias, pacotes históricos, aproveitamento de erros, concepções alternativas, mudança de perspectiva, revisão de suposições implícitas, argumentos e notações, problemas históricos, instrumentos mecânicos, atividades matemáticas experienciadas, peças teatrais, filmes e outros meios visuais e internet, não foram igualmente bem aceitas. A maioria dos acadêmicos não reconheceu a viabilidade de utilizar todas as formas propostas, revelando uma lacuna no conhecimento sobre como integrar a HM no ensino. Isso evidencia a necessidade de uma formação mais abrangente e enfática para os futuros professores.

Authors: Yasser Rayyan
Published: December 2024

Islamic educational institutions are not limited solely to the field of education but also serve a social function to enhance user satisfaction. The application of the societal character values of the Islamic community of Madinah during the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) can increase the effectiveness and productivity of an Islamic educational institution. This study proposes six character values. The research employs a literature review method by searching for sources, reading, and examining relevant materials related to the theme. After the examination, the findings are analyzed and subsequently written into a scientific article. The results of this study reveal that the six character values, namely, brotherhood, social equality; social cooperation; deliberation; participative and professionalism; universal social justice; social responsibility; and promoting good and preventing harm can be implemented in Islamic educational institutions through various approaches, behaviors, and activities. By consistently internalizing these six values with ongoing efforts and regular evaluation, the management and operations of Islamic educational institutions will become increasingly effective and productive
Membangun Norma Guru dalam Organisasi Sekolah Islam
Authors: Rahmat Pauzi Ega
Published: December 2024

This paper aims to understand the norms built among educators in the network of Islamic school organizations.  This research uses qualitative research methods. In addition to relying on literature studies and interviews, the author was directly involved in activities organized by the Garut Integrated Islamic School Network (JSIT). The results showed that the norms that live in this network of Integrated Islamic Schools cannot be separated from the influence of the tarbiyah movement as the background of the members' da'wah activities. In addition to the Islamic character of the founders, this norm has also become a mission that must exist in every Integrated Islamic School. However, not all schools labeled as Integrated Islamic Schools capture this mission. The Garut Integrated Islamic School Network ensures this norm can live among its member schools.
