Published: March 2022

This study was carried out to determine the opinions of the parents of 5th, 6th and 7th grade students about the social studies course. For this, in-depth interview technique, one of the qualitative research methods, was used as the research design. The study group consists of six parents from Adıyaman Gerger Çoban Pınarı Secondary School, four parents from Adıyaman Kahta Kubilay Secondary School, four parents from Adıyaman Kahta Gazi Secondary School, 5 parents from Adıyaman Merkez Biraralık Secondary School and one parent from Istanbul Orhangazi Secondary School. As a data collection tool, four open-ended questions were asked to the parents. For the analysis of the data, the related data were interpreted using the descriptive analysis method. During the interviews, it was stated that the teachers should improve themselves in line with their branches, make the children love the social studies lesson with various activities, organize museum-trip programs, and inform the parents about their children at regular intervals. Expectations have emerged such as exemplifying social studies with every stage of daily life, providing a constructivist education-centered programme, ensuring that they get to know the city by visiting and seeing, raising students in accordance with the accumulation of culture from the past, raising individuals who know the responsibilities brought by their geographical location and protect their homeland and nation. Some of the parents also revealed that their students give the necessary importance to the social studies lesson, love the lesson teacher, put what they have learned into practice, and look forward to the next lesson with excitement. In addition, it has emerged that they see the education-training system only as preparation for exams, the need to increase the weekly course hours and to give the importance given to numerical courses to the social studies course.

Financial literacy is a complex structure that includes many attitudes and behaviors, including financial knowledge and skills, as well as access to financial services. There are many definitions of financial literacy in the literature because it contains many knowledge, skills and attitudes and has a complex structure. Financial literacy can be defined as the ability of individuals to have information about key financial concepts such as budgeting, savings, borrowing and investment and to use this information in their decisions. Also, financial literacy is the ability to use basic economic and financial concepts as well as the knowledge and skill to manage financial resources for a lifetime of financial well-being. Two basic elements stand out in financial literacy. The first is that consumers have the knowledge and skills to use financial resources effectively in order to ensure and maintain their financial well-being, and the second is that consumers have the self-confidence and motivation to evaluate this knowledge and skill. From this point of view, this study aims to evaluate the concepts of financial literacy, which has become increasingly important in the education process in recent years, with the support of literature. The reflections of these concepts in the education process were interpreted by the researcher and suggestions were developed regarding the study subject.

Published: March 2022

Using viable microbial cultures within hydrocarbon reservoirs so as to enhancement of oil recovery through metabolic activities is exactly what we recognize as Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). In similar with many other process in industries, there are some cons and pros following with MEOR. The creation of sulfides such as hydrogen sulfide as a result of injecting the sulfate-containing seawater into hydrocarbon reservoirs in order to maintain the required reservoir pressure, leads to produce and growth of Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) approximately near the injection wells, turning the reservoir into sour, however SRB is not considered as the only microbial process stimulating the formation of sulfides. Along with SRB, thermochemical sulfate reduction or thermal redox reaction (TSR) is also known to be highly effective at resulting in having extremely concentrated zones of 𝐻2S in the reservoir fluids eligible to cause corrosion. Owing to extent of the topic, more information on formation of 𝐻2S are going to be put finger on. Besides, confronting the undesirable production of sulfide species in the reservoirs can lead to serious operational, environmental and financial problems in particular the transporting pipelines. Consequently, conjuring up reservoir souring control strategies on the way production of oil and gas is the only way to prevent possible damages in terms of environment, finance and man power which requires determining the compound’s reactivity, origin and partitioning behavior. This article is going to provide a comprehensive review on progress made in this field and the possible advent of new strategies in this technologically advanced world of petroleum industry.

Published: March 2022

In this study, the weldability of mild steel coated with different Zn-based materials to prevent corrosion with resistance spot welding process was investigated. For this purpose, the surfaces of mid steel were coated with pure Zn, Galfan (Zn5Al) and ZA12 (Zn11Al1Cu) alloys. Hot dipping technique was used for coating. Mild steels with dimension of 1.5X15X40 mm were immersed in the melted Zn and alloys, and the surfaces were coated by waiting for 2 minutes. Steel and coated steel pairs were joined by resistance spot welding process. The welding interface microstructures were examined under light optical microscopy (LOM). Weld interface strengths were measured by axial shear tests. The tests were performed at the room temperature and with a tensile speed of 5mmmin-1. Microstructure investigations showed a good bonding occurred between the coating and the steel and between the welded materials. Mechanical tests have shown that coating the steel reduces the weld strength and the decrease in strength continues with the increase of alloying elements in the coating.

Published: March 2022

This paper presents a learning model that can be implemented on autonomous vehicles, using a dedicated software platform, based on physics, which can also be used to track the behavior of components and subsystems of the vehicle. In order to prepare the data for entering the software platform, data (position, orientation, acceleration, instantaneous speed) were recorded from a vehicle driven by several drivers on a previously established route. By processing the data, a driving style was established based on the average values recorded, for each subject who participated in the experimental tests. A virtual environment was created to correspond to the real route in which an autonomous vehicle was modeled and the data on the previously established driving style (instantaneous speeds vs. positions) were transferred. Following the running in the virtual environment and the registration of the data about the behavior of the vehicle on the established route, the data obtained by the classical method and the virtual simulation were compared. Thus, corrections can be made on the speed profile implemented for the autonomous vehicle, in order to comply with the limits imposed by the use of this vehicle with passengers: speed limits, longitudinal and lateral acceleration limits, braking limits.

Authors: CRUZ Maria Elisa Linda Taeza , ENCARNACION Riah Elcullada
Published: March 2022

Higher education institutions (HEIs) handle tons of data to analyze and generate the most relevant information. Data mining is considered a useful tool to extract knowledge to predict future educational trends in this process. Hence, such a method is significant to HEIs to understand and predict students’ employability and other critical academic elements. A comprehensive and systematic literature review was conducted to identify data mining techniques, algorithms, and the various data sets that will lead to the smart prediction and accuracy of student employability. The same method was used to determine the relationship between academic achievement and the employability of students. According to the research findings, the most frequently used data mining techniques for determining students' academic achievement and employability are Classification techniques, specifically the J48(C4.5) algorithm, the Naïve Bayes algorithm, and the CHAID Decision Tree algorithm. The most frequently used data sets or attributes for predicting students' academic performance and employability are their cumulative grade point average (CGPA), gender, technical, communication, problem-solving, analytical, critical thinking, and decision-making skills, extracurricular activities, and age, as well as psychomotor factors such as behavior and attendance and training/internship placement. Academic performance is the primary determinant of employability. The application of data mining techniques in academia has demonstrated its value in enhancing the performance of higher education institutions (HEIs). As a result, more research is urgently needed to ascertain the efficacy of the approaches, algorithms, and data sets identified as predictors of students' employability. Moreover, automated approaches should be utilized to ascertain their accuracy.

Authors: TASDEMIR Adem , BAKSAN Bedri , CELIKYUREK Ibrahim
Published: March 2022

Due to many advantages of Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) such as inexpensive, easy to automate, and high-quality joints capability, it is preferred and used mostly in automative industry. In the RSW process, metals are joined based on the contact resistance between the electrodes and metals. During the process, the cause of the welding nugget on the surface is the increase in temperature because of the electrical resistance of the materials and the melting formed. Many factors affect the success of the RSW process. In this research, we investigated the possibility of mild steel (DKP) sheets welding using the RSW method. There important factors, i.e., time, pressure, and current were tested. The results were evaluated by measuring the shear strength of DKPsheets having 1 mm thickness. To reduce the number of experiments, the experiments are designed and carried out according to the Box-Behnken experimental design. It is one of the most useful response surface methods (RSM). It was aimed to find the effects of investigated parameters and their possible interactions on tensile strength of DKP sheets joined by RSW process. Another important purpose was to generate a mathematical model which can be used to estimate tensile strength as a function of tested parameters. As a result, a second-order model which was important statistically was developed and it was capable of to estimate the dependent variable in very high accuracy.
Do API-Migration Changes Introduce New Bugs?
Authors: MEQDADI Omar , ALJAWARNEH Shadi , BANI YASSEIN Muneer
Published: March 2022

Software quality is broadly dependent on the use of dependent platforms, compilers, and APIs. This research reports a case study exploring the risk of API-migration activities in the regard of bug-introducing changes and software maintenance quality. The study involves screening tens of thousands of commits for six large C++ open source systems to identify bug-introducing commits caused by undertaking adaptive maintenance tasks through using traditional heuristic approaches. The obtained results show that 14.5% to 22.2% of examined adaptive commits enclose buggy code changes and so developers have to consider the potential risk of introducing new bugs after undertaking API-migration practices. Moreover, from investigating the bug fixing activities made by API-migration tasks, we provide a demonstration that typically these fixing activities do not cause further bugs and hence are safe undertakings. We feel that this work has developed a data set that will be used for constructing approaches to identify, characterize, and minimize potential adaptive maintenance practices that introduce bugs into a software system.

The previous article uses time interval between two successive time instances of transmissions mixed with cryptography prior to hiding. However, this improvement tends to extend and provide new methods based on single time instance unlike the previous methodology which depend on two-time instances such as hours, minutes, second, millisecond etc. It further examines how to handle effect of different time zone and high precision timing for ultrafast timing such as millisecond, and many more which human actions is too slow for perfect timing. In addition, the extension based on Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP-IP) status codes where each element of set of status code are index and the index represents certain numeric of combination for hiding. Finally, the cryptography method is improved and extended to series-based cryptography with any defined number of different cryptography methods combined altogether with multiple keys generated dynamically. The methods for both cryptography and steganography were integrated and each module carefully tested for their feasibility and appropriate analysis, comparisons presented too. A brief discussion of possible extension or application of Time Interval and Instance Steganography from network based to Video and Audio time Steganography are presented which depends on time such as rate of change of features in Video, or in Audio as well. However, these video and audio Time steganography are considered as out of scope for this article which is mainly about network Steganography.

Miedo, ira y esperanza en México. Emociones, percepciones y reacciones en torno del crimen, el riesgo y el cambio social
Authors: Foust Rodríguez David
Published: March 2022

A los delitos cotidianos se han sumado en México unas 30 mil ejecuciones relacionadas con el narcotráfico y la “guerra” que el gobierno federal le ha declarado. Parecería ocioso preguntarse si los mexicanos tienen miedo; no obstante, algunos estudios indican que las víctimas suelen experimentar más enojo que miedo; otros señalan además que en México el miedo no es una emoción predominante. El análisis del clima emocional de México es relevante de por sí, pero es aún más pertinente cuando se consideran las implicaciones societales: la investigación previa ha demostrado que las personas temerosas evaden riesgos, están más alertas a las amenazas y emocionalmente ancladas a las experiencias traumatizantes del pasado; las personas iracundas son proclives a asumir más riesgos y a sentir que tienen el control de la situación. Considerando esto, ¿los mexicanos estarán emocionalmente más proclives a asumir el riesgo y la incertidumbre de un cambio social profundo?
La emigración, los medios de comunicación y la cultura del espectáculo en las transformaciones del Estado y la identidad nacional en México
Authors: Santamaría Gómez Arturo
Published: March 2022

En sociedades como la mexicana, se han seguido medios específicos para construir sus Estados nacionales. La presencia de pueblos indígenas y las migraciones masivas han exigido formas de convivencia territorial, política, social y cultural que no coinciden con las experiencias europeas. El Estado mexicano excluía a los emigrantes hasta 1996, año de la Ley de la irrenunciabilidad de la nacionalidad mexicana. Paradójicamente, el modelo económico neoliberal que prometía eliminar las causas de la migración provocó más que nunca un flujo masivo de ciudadanos mexicanos a Estados Unidos. Asimismo, la revolución tecnológica que ha acompañado a la globalización neoliberal, mediante Internet y la comunicación instantánea sobre todo, ha provocado la formación de la nación transterritorial. En estas circunstancias, el Estado ha reducido su ámbito de influencia en la sociedad y ha cedido terreno a otras esferas de influencia ideológica, cultural y cívica como son los medios masivos de comunicación.

Para ello, se realiza un recorrido teórico en el que se muestra a éste como un ser con creencias, sentimientos y emociones en su racionalidad. Por su parte se define a las organizaciones como conjuntos de individuos que persiguen un fin común así como espacios de interacción para desarrollar sus actividades cotidianas; mientras que las instituciones son constructos sociales formados por reglas y constricciones además de costumbres, formas de pensar y de actuar, entre otros, legadas por la tradición, o bien son producto de convenciones o acuerdos sociales. Se muestra que, el conflicto es un fenómeno permanente entre actores o entre organizaciones, y que la forma en que interactúan dependerá de las estrategias o estratagemas elegidas por estos. La forma de solucionar tales conflictos está determinada por el tipo de instituciones que la sociedad ha creado para tal efecto en un momento histórico concreto. Se concluye que el actor no maximiza la utilidad sino que sólo toma decisiones satisfactorias, y que su papel no se limita a lo anterior, sino que es el protagonista del diseño, construcción y evolución de las organizaciones e instituciones en su carácter de único agente decisor.
La humanidad de los mártires. Notas para el estudio sociohistórico del martirio
Authors: López Menéndez Marisol
Published: March 2022

En este artículo se estudia la noción de martirio como narrativa y se enfatiza la importancia de las causas sociales que los mártires preconizan como requisito para estudiarlos desde una perspectiva sociológica e histórica. En este tenor, el martirio es interpretado como un espacio de identificación entre las esferas religiosa y política que desafía las distinciones tradicionales del pensamiento político moderno.El martirio es analizado como un fenómeno que pone al descubierto la maleabilidad de las creencias y prácticas religiosas modernas y que permite identificar transformaciones sociopolíticas en los grupos que abanderan la causa del mártir. Es la filiación del mártir la que proporciona pautas para su estudio, antes que las narrativas hagiográficas o cuasi hagiográficas escritas tras la muerte. Estos textos resultan útiles exclusivamente cuando se estudian militancias y sucesos históricos específicos que tienden a modificar las narrativas mismas y transformar el sentido adscrito al deceso trágico del mártir. La construcción y reconstrucción hagiográficas brindan un espacio epistemológico importante para estudiar las intersecciones entre política y religión en el mundo moderno y contemporáneo.
La física en la Expedición Malaspina (1789-1794): ideología, práctica y experimentación
Authors: Leyton A. Patricio , Saldivia M Zenobio
Published: March 2022

Se sostiene tradicionalmente que la física es la ciencia que estudia los estados de la materia y que procura explicar de manera racional los fenómenos naturales mediante el uso de complejas ecuaciones matemáticas. No obstante, consideramos que esta ciencia puede tener otros usos más allá del mero y objetivo estudio de la realidad natural. Este fue el caso de la expedición científica española, al mando del navegante y científico italiano Alejandro Malaspina, la cual recorrió los dominios de ultramar de la Corona española entre los años 1789 a 1794 y efectuó trabajos científicos en diversas disciplinas, siendo la física una de ellas. En este sentido, la física en la comisión hispana tuvo carices de tipo ideológico, práctico y teórico-experimental. El primero fue dado por el vínculo de esta ciencia con aspectos políticos, civilizatorios y de prosperidad nacional, los que estaban en directa concordación con el ethos de la Ilustración europea. El segundo, en tanto, estuvo en directa relación con los trabajos propiamente científicos; vale decir que se analiza la física en concordancia con el uso de instrumentos científicos, la medición y cuantificación de fenómenos de la naturaleza y el empleo de una metodología de acuerdo con la ciencia del siglo xviii. Por último, el aspectoteórico-experimental estaba condicionado por las explicaciones de tipo físico y teórico que se dieron a ciertos elementos de la naturaleza y por la elaboración de experimentos y experiencias sobre los estados de la materia, mientras transcurrió el viaje por el Océano Atlántico y el Océano Pacífico.
El culto a la Virgen de Zapopan durante el periodo colonial: el paso de una imagen sin origen milagroso al de una reliquia taumatúrgica
Authors: Aceves Ávila Roberto
Published: March 2022

En este artículo se analiza el proceso mediante el cual la Virgen de Zapopan, una imagen sin origen sobrenatural, adquiere la categoría de reliquia mila­grosa a partir del siglo xvii. Este proceso ejemplifica la manera en que los sa­beres jurídico, teológico e histórico, por medio de sus prácticas y discursos, norman las prácticas religiosas relacionadas con la devoción a la Virgen de Zapopan con el fin de configurar a un sujeto social, en este caso un creyente ilustrado acorde con los principios de las reformas religiosas tridentinas y borbónicas. En la historia del culto a la virgen zapopana se observa como las devociones son el producto de elección de los fieles, quienes las practican por considerarlas útiles a sus propósitos de acuerdo con sus creencias y tra­diciones, en este caso dentro del contexto de la espiritualidad barroca. Pero también dependen de la interacción de los individuos con diversos elemen­tos de la sociedad (como el Estado, las élites, las corporaciones civiles y re­ligiosas) articulados en lo que Foucault llama un reticulado de poderes, que ejercen un poder disciplinario sobre las personas. La interacción de todos estos elementos norma las prácticas religiosas por medio de un conjunto de saberes y discursos, con el fin de configurar un sujeto social determinado. Se estudian la indagatoria jurídica ordenada por el obispo Juan Ruiz Colme­nero en 1653, la de 1731 del obispo Nicolás Gómez de Cervantes así como las disposiciones del iv Concilio Provincial Mexicano de 1771.
Visualización de la ebriedad en Ciudad Juárez durante la época de la prohibición del alcohol en El Paso, Texas 1918-1933
Authors: García Pereyra Rutilio , Balderrama Armendáriz Cesar Omar
Published: March 2022

Este artículo tiene como objetivo mostrar el tipo de clasificación de la ebriedad en Ciudad Juárez durante la época de la prohibición del alcohol en El Paso, Texas. Cientos de ciudadanos estadounidenses y mexicanos consumieron alcohol en las cantinas de Ciudad Juárez durante los años veinte del siglo pasado, sin embargo, no existe hasta el momento un estudio científico que muestre la magnitud del consumo de bebidas etílicas así como el daño que pudiera ocasionar a la salud. Para la época de estudio, la ebriedad era observada como una falta a la moral y no como un problema de salud. Este texto se basa en documentos de archivo histórico denominados partes de policía y se pretende observar si este tipo de evidencias significaron indicios para pensar en alcoholismo entre la población de Ciudad Juárez. Al mismo tiempo, se discute si la ebriedad se configura como un problema de salud pública o bien era calificada desde la moral imperante para la época de estudio. La técnica consiste en el análisis de los partes de policía (1920) que se enviaban al Alcaide y se hacían del conocimiento público donde se especifica el nombre del detenido y el tipo de ebriedad, sexo y nacionalidad, así como el tipo de penalidad y multa que consistía en días de reclusión en cárcel o bien el pago de una cantidad determinada de dinero.
Hacia la construcción de una gobernanza ambiental participativa? Estudio de caso en el Área Metropolitana de Guadalajara
Authors: De la Mora-De la Mora Gabriela , Montaño Salazar Rodolfo
Published: March 2022

El objetivo es analizar el concepto de gobernanza, su origen y características generales, para después discutir los supuestos generales de la gobernanza ambiental y la relevancia de este concepto en la articulación de políticas de conservación de áreas protegidas con políticas urbanas. La gobernanza am­biental es un proceso de toma de decisiones dinámico, participativo y des­centralizado promovido por agentes locales, para favorecer la conservación de un área natural protegida que favorece la provisión y mantenimiento de servicios ambientales clave para el bienestar de los habitantes de zonas ur­banas. Se trata de un análisis cualitativo, de fuentes primarias y secundarias, sobre el caso del Área Natural de Protección Hidrológica Municipal Bosque El Nixticuil-San Esteban-El Diente (Bensedi) localizada en Zapopan, Jalisco, México. Este caso muestra que la sociedad local organizada es el agente prin­cipal en la construcción de una gobernanza ambiental policéntrica, cuyo reto fundamental es sortear contingencias de carácter sociopolítico.
La figura del migrante como estigma social: el derrotero de los exbraceros trabajadores migratorios mexicanos (1942-1964)
Authors: Schaffhauser Philippe
Published: March 2022

La palabra bracero es un concepto cuyo significado combina una experiencia directa, es decir, lo que el filósofo Bertrand Russell llama acquaintance (conocimiento por familiaridad), basada en la metáfora de los brazos como herramienta corporal cardinal del jornalero agrícola y una sucesión de vivencias que caracterizó la suerte que corrieron los trabajadores migratorios mexicanos que participaron en el programa bracero México-Estados Unidos (1942-1964) por un lado con un mecanismo político e institucional de imposición que consistió, a la sazón, en nombrar y etiquetar al sujeto migrante en tanto “bracero” por otro. En este sentido, ser bracero era primeramente un sello institucional y luego pasó a ser una experiencia laboral migratoria situada. Con base en una perspectiva interaccionista simbólica y constructivista derivada de los trabajos de Lemert, Goffman y Becker, este artículo propone un marco interpretativo, inspirado en la teoría del etiquetaje, que permita dar cuenta de la construcción de un estigma social atribuido al bracero primero en tanto “brazos” al servicio de la agricultura norteamericana y posteriormente en tanto “viejo migrante”, es decir trabajador obsoleto. Importa aquí, descifrar lo que estas construcciones acarrean e implican para comprender las bases morales sobres las cuales se asientan los vínculos sociales y las interacciones que los nutren.
