Effect of Ionic Association in the Catalytic Mechanism of Redox Mediators for Li-air Batteries: a Theoretical Framework
Authors: Horwitz Gabriela , Kunz Vera , Niblett Samuel , Grey Clare
Published: December 2023

We present a theoretical framework to explain how interactions between redox mediators and electrolyte components impact electron transfer kinetics, thermodynamics, and catalytic efficiency. Specifically focusing on ionic association, we use DBBQ as a case study to demonstrate these effects. Our analytical equations reveal how observed potential and electron transfer rate constants evolve with Li+ concentration, evidencing different redox activity mechanisms. Experimental validation shows that DBBQ bounds to 3 Li+ ions in its reduced state and 1 Li+ ion in its neutral form, leading to a maximum in the electron transfer kinetic constant at around 0.25M. We also explore parallel equilibria, emphasizing the pivotal role of free Li+ concentration influenced by ionic association with the supporting salt counteranion or interactions with solvent molecules. Furthermore, we investigate the impact of Li+ concentration on oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysis using DBBQ, considering effects on electron transfer and catalytic kinetics. Cyclic voltammograms are presented as illustrative examples. The proposed theoretical framework's strength lies in its adaptability to various redox mediators and their interactions. By understanding these effects, we open up a new avenue to tune electron transfer and catalytic kinetics and thus improve the energy efficiency and rate capability of Li-O2 batteries.

Published: December 2023

The application of machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence is ubiquitous across various domains. The Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) is considered a remarkable deep learning architecture among its peers. Provided that an ample quantity of data samples is fed to the GAN model, it is feasible to generate novel samples of the same data category. By providing the system with a large dataset of cat images, it can acquire the ability to recognize the defining characteristics of a feline and subsequently produce novel cat photos. This architectural design served as the foundation for numerous programs. The domain of digital art has experienced significant impact in recent times. The GAN has emerged as a prominent deep learning framework that has had a significant impact on the field of digital art. This article primarily focuses on elucidating the fundamental aspects of GAN, including its definition, operational mechanism, classification, practical implementations, and correlation with digital art. Simultaneously, inquiries pertaining to the definition of digital art, its practical implementations, and its correlation with the metaverse and digital marketing are being scrutinized.

Published: December 2023

Objective.

To evaluate the screening of blood samples for infectious disease markers at laboratories and blood banks in Latin America per the findings of an External Quality Assessment Program (EQAP).

Methods.

This qualitative analysis used data from the EQAP coordinated by the Fundação Pro Sangue Hemocentro de São Paulo with the support of the Pan American Health Organization to assess the performance of blood screening for infectious diseases from 2014 to 2018 in Latin America. Each participating laboratory or blood bank received an identical blind panel with 24 blood samples with variable reactivity for all the screening parameters. Panels were processed at each participating facility and results were returned to the Fundação Pro Sangue Hemocentro de São Paulo for individual and joint analyses. Two types of discrepant results were potential failures: false positive results (FPRs) and false nonreactive results (FNRRs).

Results.

A total of 23 136 samples were evaluated. Global rates of FPR, FNRR, and concordant results were 0.3%, 1.0% and 98.7%, respectively. Seven FNRRs were found for HBsAg (1.0%), 12 for syphilis (2.6%), and 21 for Chagas disease (2.9%). No FNRRs were found for the HIV, HCV, and HTLV viruses. The average accuracy of all the laboratories and blood banks participating in the EQAP during the study period was 99.5% (standard deviation, 0.5%).

Conclusion.

The findings of this qualitative analysis are positive for blood safety in Latin America, with an average accuracy of 99.5% among the participating laboratories and blood banks. This report reflects an important improvement in blood bank serological screening EQAP-PAHO report since the 2003.

Development of Pianistic Skills of Preschool Children during the Early Education Period
Authors: Zavalko Kateryna
Published: December 2023

The article examines pre-reading music period as a necessary and important period in the process of musicians training. The success of learning at this stage depends on the effectiveness of further mastery of playing a musical instrument. Based on the study of the literature, it is determined that musical development is relevant for the children of preschool age because at different age stages, the child reveals and develops different abilities that correspond to the characteristics of a certain age period. An important sign of a preschooler’s musicality is his creative attitude to music, because while listening and perceiving a piece of music, the child emotionally imagines an artistic image at his discretion, reproducing it in singing, playing, dancing or on paper.
The pre-reading music period of a student-pianist training is defined as the initial period of training, when the student, during active music playing the piano without using sheet music, develops musical and creative abilities, gets acquainted with basic musical concepts, masters posture and forms elementary pianistic skills. The main task of the teacher is to help each student to adapt individually to the instrument, to find their own feelings of comfort, to feel free, natural movements, a relaxed state of the hands and the whole body.
A survey of 124 piano teachers was conducted regarding the features of the introduction of the pre-reading music period in the practice of teaching beginners. The survey proved that pre-reading music training is an important stage of training of beginner and most of the interviewed teachers pay attention to this stage. At the same time, piano teachers do not clearly understand the specifics of this period and most of them do not have the necessary methods and forms of work.
Prospects for further scientific research are related to the development of the authors’ method of the pre-reading music period of training for piano students and its verification during an eaucational experiment.

Published: December 2023

This study investigates the relationship between the LEED BD+C for New Construction (LEED-NC) scores achieved by projects and their scores from each credit category to assess the consistency between the expected and the actual influence of these credit categories in determining the sustainability of a project. The data was collected about all of the built LEED-BD+C for New Construction projects and the relationships between each credit category and the sustainability level of the projects, defined by LEED scores, were evaluated through multiple linear regression analysis. The findings showed the harmony between the expected and the actual influence of the Energy and Atmosphere category and Sustainable Site category in determining the overall sustainability of the projects. However, the three credit categories of Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Water Efficiency did not show any harmony between the expected and the actual influence on determining the overall sustainability level of projects. The findings of this study illustrate the need for enhancing the consistency between the existing sustainability evaluation criteria and suggests more comprehensive research on the factors defining the level of sustainability of a project.
Localización industrial en México
Authors: Hernández González Izabel Diana
Published: December 2023

Este trabajo analiza el impacto de la liberalización comercial sobre la geografía económica en México. Se construyen índices de especialización regional en nivel estatal y de localización industrial para los nueve sectores y las cincuenta y cuatro ramas de la industria manufacturera en cinco puntos del tiempo: 1981, 1988, 1993, 1998 y 2003. Y, a través de un análisis de correlación y una estimación de datos de panel, se identifica los posibles determinantes de la concentración geográfica industrial. Los resultados indican que a partir de la apertura comercial, se observa una disminución en los niveles de especialización regional y localización industrial, en donde, las economías de escala y la productividad son los factores que explican en mayor grado la localización de los sectores manufactureros. En tanto, las dotaciones de factores mantienen una relación negativa y significativa. Finalmente, los insumos intermedios en el estudio por sectores no juegan un rol en la explicación del patrón de localización industrial.
Crisis sociales y singularidades Los fundamentos microeconómicos de las crisis sociales

Published: December 2023

El propósito de este trabajo es mostrar la íntima relación que existe entre el bienestar y la eficiencia. Las asignaciones eficientes se corresponden de manera única con las distribuciones de pesos relativos de los agentes y, en conjunto, determinan una forma de medir el bienestar social asociado al total de recursos existentes en la economía. Se introduce una variedad diferencial, a la que llamaremos camino de Negishi, la cual resume la eficiencia y el bienestar posible para una economía, dados sus recursos totales y sus funciones de utilidad. Veremos que bajo una forma descentralizada, sólo es posible alcanzar algunos niveles de bienestar y no todos los posibles para esa economía, si se considera la totalidad de sus recursos. Analizaremos la relación existente entre las llamadas economías singulares y las crisis sociales, en especial, aquéllas que han vivido los países emergentes y particularmente, haremos referencia a México y a Uruguay. Estudiaremos también, de una manera formalizada y en el marco de la teoría del equilibrio general, cómo es que bajo determinadas condiciones, la política fiscal puede introducir cambios en el corto plazo que afectan irreversiblemente a la sociedad, tanto a corto como largo plazo. Así mismo, investigaremos la posibilidad del surgimiento de cambios drásticos, resultado de políticas fiscales o arancelarias gradualistas, y que se presentan como imposibles de prever e irreversibles para la estructura social. Es decir, analizaremos la posibilidad de la aparición de crisis económicas y sociales en forma inesperada y abrupta, como respuesta a cambios graduales que sin embargo, permanecenJEL classification: D50, D63, O12.

Authors: Montes de Oca Chaparro Jesús David
Published: December 2023

Este artículo estima el tamaño óptimo de gobierno para las economías de los gobiernos estatales en México, a través de una investigación sobre el papel de los servicios públicos en el proceso de producción. Se asume que los servicios están óptimamente provistos, cuando su producto marginal es igual a la unidad (Regla de Barro). Los resultados empíricos sugieren que: (1) los servicios gubernamentales son significativamente productivos; (2) están siendo sobre-suministrados en todas las entidades federativas de México y (3) el tamaño óptimo de gobierno para el estado promedio del país es 3.1 % (± 2.3%); mientras que para el estado promedio del norte y sur, es 8.3% y 2.5%, respectivamente. Finalmente, se encontró una relación negativa entre el tamaño de gobierno y la productividad de los gobiernos sureños; en tanto que en el resto de los estados, no hubo evidencia para aprobar dicha relación.Classification: JEL: H72 H77.
The Evolutionary Processes for the Populations of Firms and Workers
Authors: Accinelli Gamba Elvio , Sánchez Carrera Edgar J.
Published: December 2023

This paper analyzes the cultural evolution of firms and workers. Following an imitation rule, each firm and worker decides whether to be innovative (or not) and skilled (or unskilled). We apply evolutionary game theory to find the system of replicator dynamics, and characterize the low-level and highlevel equilibria as Evolutionarily Stable Strategies (ESS) “against the field.” Hence, we study how a persistent state of underdevelopment can arise in strategic environments in which players are imitative rather than rational maximizers. We show that when the current state of the economy is in the basin of attraction of the poverty trap, players should play against the field if they want to change their status quo. The threshold level to overcome the poverty trap can be lowered if there is an appropriate policy using income taxes, education costs and skill premia. Hence, we study the replicator dynamics with a subsidy and payoff taxation to overcome the poverty trap. JEL Classification: C72, C79, D83, O12.

Plazo de caducidad de las medidas preparatoriasrecaídas en juicio ejecutivo
Authors: Torres Sandoval Diego Alejandro
Published: December 2023

El Código Procesal Civil establece un plazo de veinte días para iniciar la acción ejecutiva una vez concluidas las medidas preparatorias. Sin embargo, no existe una resolución que declare la conclusión de las medidas preparatorias, por lo que se genera incertidumbre sobre el punto de inicio del plazo de caducidad. La metodología utilizada en este trabajo toma un enfoque mixto, además, se aplica un diseño no experimental, basado en la revisión de doctrinas, legislación y sobre todo, en el análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de resoluciones judiciales correspondientes a tres juzgados de primera instancia en lo civil y comercial de la Circunscripción Judicial de la Capital, que demostró la existencia de una contradicción en la práctica judicial paraguaya sobre el punto de inicio del plazo de caducidad de las medidas preparatorias de juicio ejecutivo; por un lado, una posición que es más coherente con la interpretación literal del artículo 447 del Código Procesal Civil; y, por otro lado, una postura más coherente con la práctica judicial argentina, que es el sistema jurídico que sirvió de inspiración para el Código Procesal Civil

La Subcuenca de Uspallata abarca la región situada al este de la localidad de Uspallata, entre el río Mendoza al sur y los Paramillos al norte y constituye la región austral de la más extensa Cuenca Uspallata-Iglesia, a la que se incorporó al final del Carbonífero. En ella se encuentran las formaciones Santa Elena y Agua del Jagüel, en las que se halla documentado un intervalo del tiempo geológico que abarca el límite Carbonífero-Pérmico. Estas rocas se encuentran tectónicamente dislocadas en grandes bloques limitados por fallas de alto ángulo que alteran y obscurecen la secuencia estratigráfica. Sin embargo, su contenido paleontológico, que ha permitido demarcar el límite sistémico y la iniciación de las glaciaciones del Pérmico inferior, además contribuye a la interpretación de la complicada estructura y la reconstrucción estratigráfica. El carácter transicional del límite Carbonífero-Pérmico, singularmente expuesto en la Formación Santa Elena, descarta la existencia de movimientos entre ambos Sistemas en la Cuenca Uspallata-Iglesia.

Published: December 2023

The relationship between an employer and employee though governed by various laws and regulations can still at some point witness some disagreements and dispute. Labour disputes are not uncommon neither are they peculiar to a particular industry in a country. Usually, trade disputes are hinged on agitation of employees for compensation, good working conditions, job stability and agitation against unlawful termination or dismissal of from service. Over the years, employees have adopted different ways to exhibit their discomfort and grievances in order to convey their message such as strike actions, peaceful protest and so on. There’s no doubt that these disputes will drastically reduce the level of productivity and overall beneficial impact of the industries in the economic growth of the country.

This study is part of a four-year longitudinal investigation project and aims at examining the production and comprehension skills in Italian of a 12-year-old deaf child fitted with a cochlear implant. Since the participant showed considerable difficulties with passive sentences, she was given linguistic training based on explicitly teaching the syntactic rules involved in the derivation of this structure (verb argument structure, thematic theory, and syntactic A-movement). The child’s linguistics abilities were assessed before and after the syntactic intervention. Her linguistic abilities improved after the linguistic intervention.

This article was derived from a research project and its objective is to systematize the results of the diagnosis in the curricular improvement as part of the evaluation of the teaching-learning content of the redesigns in the Psychopedagogy and Initial Education careers of the Universidad Laica Vicente Rocafuerte of Guayaquil. The problem was related to the need to refine the designs of the careers, which starts from the revision of the curricular design approved in 2016 by the Council of Higher Education where critical-reflective scenarios were raised that justified the need for curricular innovation. Work tables were organized that promoted a hermeneutical exercise, to obtain support information in the curricular update and production of knowledge about the elaborated design. The approach considered was mixed, with a non-experimental descriptive design. A survey was applied to teachers and students on situations observed in the curricular design and an interview to the graduates who were part of the analyzed fabric and includes the exploration of resources to diagnose the practice and lay the foundations of the new curricular design. From this, different perspectives of future curricular planning were determined, to respond to the sustainability of the quality of Higher Education in educational careers. The changes analyzed and proposed for the academic organization of the curriculum based on the diagnosis made, will favor the contextualization of knowledge and the articulation of substantive processes in order to optimize the profile of the future professional through innovation.

The incidence of diabetes mellitus is steadily increasing worldwide, including in the pediatric population. Type 1 diabetes is a disease that is often accompanied by liver damage in the form of glycogenosis, steatosis, and fibrosis. However, there is paucity of research devoted to this problem.

Objective — to determine the gender characteristics of the clinical course of hepatopathy in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Materials and methods. The study included 86 boys and 87 girls aged 8 to 18 years (school-age children in the period of hormonal puberty adjustment), suffering from type 1 diabetes. Clinical and anamnestic, laboratory and instrumental examinations were carried out in accordance with the current standards. Blood biochemistry examinations included determining the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin and its fractions, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein, β­lipoproteins. According to the results of ultrasound examinations, adolescents with type 1 diabetes were divided into groups based on the liver size.

Results and discussion. The groups did not differ significantly by the nature of dyspeptic complaints. During ultrasound examinations, an increase in the liver size was determined more often in boys; the frequency of steatosis signs did not depend on gender. Absence of positive dynamics of these signs was established in 50 % of patients, regardless of the state of glycemic control. Regardless of gender, functional disorders of the biliary tract were found in almost all of them. The indicators of the lipid panel in girls were slightly higher than in boys, and the difference in β­lipoproteins level was significant. In most adolescents, levels of high density lipoprotein were within the normal ranges, but the frequency of its decrease in boys with enlarged liver was higher compared to girls. ALT activity significantly increased only in girls with enlarged liver, and in boys it only tended to increase; the frequency of increased ALT activity in girls with enlarged liver was 1.5 times higher compared to boys. The AST/ALT ratio in every fifth patient, regardless of gender and liver size, was ≥ 1.3 (a marker of fibrosis formation).

Conclusions. The performed investigation revealed the gender peculiarities of clinical, ultrasound and biochemical manifestations of hepatopathy in adolescents with type 1 diabetes, which can be the basis for the administration of patient oriented therapeutic, preventive and rehabilitation measures.

Improving the quality of green space and efforts to improve the function of the area in the academic environment must be considered as an integral part of building arrangement activities. This is because the aspects of the building and the environment are inseparable components of settlements, supporting each other in a balanced, harmonious, and harmonious manner. As a campus that applies the concept of “Green Campus”, of course, it wants the quality of its environment to be well maintained even though it has the development of facilities and infrastructure, Universitas Pahlawan must of course also fulfill these provisions. Therefore, it is very necessary to model in planning the Park Green Open Space Planning Model at the Hero University with various considerations that are adapted to regional conditions, land area and benefits that can be enjoyed optimally by the academic community. Environmental Park planning model is carried out by reviewing based on spatial (spatial) and social aspects. The importance of the Environmental Park planning model is due to not applying an appropriate planning model so that direct utilization is not maximally felt by the academic community. This study examines more deeply the relationship between the spatial and social aspects of the environmental park

The Influence of Level of Misinformation on the Effectiveness of a Nudge-Based Misinformation Intervention
Authors: Butler Lucy , Ecker Ullrich K. H. , Prike Toby
Published: December 2023

Nudge-based misinformation interventions are presented as cheap and effective ways to reduce the spread of misinformation online. However, despite online information environments typically containing low volumes of misinformation, most studies testing the effectiveness of nudge interventions present equal proportions of true and false information. As the effectiveness of nudges can be highly context-dependent, it is imperative to validate the effectiveness of nudge-based interventions in environments with more realistic proportions of misinformation. The current study (N = 1387) assessed the effectiveness of a combined accuracy and social-norm nudge in simulated social-media environments with varying proportions of misinformation (50%, 20%, and 12.5%). The nudge intervention was effective at improving engagement behavior in all conditions, including those with a lower proportion of misinformation. These findings provide ecologically valid support for the use of nudge-based interventions to counter misinformation propagation on social-media platforms.
