Modern approach to management as a factor of effective functioning of kindergarten
Authors: Muratović Amela , Muratović Admir , Dacić Eldis
Published: July 2023

The provision of open opportunities, the acquisition of experiences where it is possible to develop the capacities of the child's personality and their potential in the period of early age are elements on which his future activities, opportunities and functioning as an active member of society will depend. Through communication, children of pre-school age gain freedom of speech, are independent, learn to navigate different situations, are creative, inquisitive, curious, and this way contributes to the development of dispositions for active action and learning. Quality preschool upbringing and education should be based on this development of preschool children, on the competence of educators, active participation of parents of children in the organization of work and life of their children, and other systems with the aim of progressive changes. All these systems condition the presence of managers in all educational institutions, including kindergartens. We see the development plan and program as an opportunity to raise awareness of the value of the system of organizing educational work in kindergartens, as well as the joint activities of all factors that participate in the process of raising and educating preschool children, through the prism of management in kindergartens.
Interest in the Qur'an and its consequences on the modern world
Authors: Čupović Semir
Published: July 2023

Islam is the entire system of life. Through the Qur'an, the Almighty Allah gave instructions to humanity on how to live in this transitory world. As not a single segment of human life is left out of Allah's Code, so the issue of work, sustenance and trade is not left out either. It is in nature, but also in man's need, to earn and save in order to feed himself and his family. Certainly, one thing should be kept in mind, and that is how he acquires that income and wealth. There are many who reach for various illegal things, such as fraud, various speculations and engaging in easy ways of earning, which is especially visible in the modern age, and that is in terms of usury or interest, as the work itself is called. The main goal of the work is actually to point out the perniciousness and harmfulness and the bad consequences of that society or individuals who are encouraged to engage in interest business. First, that Allah, the Exalted, has strictly and categorically forbidden it, and secondly, that man brings misfortune and misery upon himself if he does the opposite of what he was ordered to do. Therefore, if we want good for ourselves, our family, society and humanity -let us leave what Almighty Allah has ordered us to leave, seek halal earnings, let us be among those who will enjoin good and forbid evil, let us be good and sincere believers because that is the only way we will deserve the Lord's mercy and forgiveness.
Gender performance in the Wir reisen short story and Im Stein novel by Clemens Meyer
Authors: Petrović-Jilih Marina
Published: July 2023

This paper examines gender issues in the Wir reisen short story and in the Im Stein novel by Clemens Meyer. Although these texts cannot be analysed solely within the framework of gender and/or queer discourse and their focus on gender was not the author̕ s goal, I believe that illuminating these issues contributes significantly to understanding Meyer's humanistic narrative foundation of his entire oeuvre. His storytelling recognizes contradictions in human nature and the ambivalence of our identities-a nightmare that he develops into dramatic performances in his texts, while simultaneously deconstructing them. The analysis of gender discourse in the texts attempts to answer the question of whether an individual can create and maintain their own identity by returning to the collective (gender and sex) performance imposed by the so-called reality packaged in normative social roles. Meyer̕ s characters are an integral part of the society, but they do not fit into social norms, while also not knowing how to resist them. This is where their tragedy lies. In the story Wir reisen, the characters who are from the social margins-small-time criminals and former prisoners-find closeness, love and happiness precisely in the deconstruction of the dominant gender performance. In the heroes of the novel Im Stein, contradictory ambitions are also reflected, as they seek to assign meaning to their lives. Those needs that do not serve acquisition of money are shifted from the level of social affirmation to the level of individual fulfilment, both in male and female characters.
Effects of applied music originally composed for museums on visitor experience: Results of a pilot study in the Museum of Science and Technology in Belgrade
Authors: Jokić Biljana , Marković Aleksandar , Luković Ivana
Published: July 2023

Originally composed music for museum applications (synomusic) is an innovative approach in presenting museum exhibits and attracting audience. However, its use is underdeveloped and the same is evident for related researches. Our pilot research aimed to explore the effects of such music on visitor experience in the Museum of Science and Technology in Belgrade. The study included surveys before (silent condition, SC) and after (music condition, MC) applying music in the museum spaces (N = 310 in total), as well as in-depth interviews in MC (N = 22). The results showed that the original, applied music improved the general experience of museum visits. The music, seen as an inseparable element of the experience, worked in interaction with the exhibits and the venue to liven up the experience, make it fuller and improve visitors' impressions. The effects of originally composed music for MNT permanent collection were identified in all three domains of the psychic process: emotional (improved visitors' moods), cognitive (awakened the memory, curiosity and the desire to spread the knowledge) and motivational (inspired play and action). The effects have manifested across all research groups, which notably also included the visually impaired museum visitors.

Authors: Ilić-Kosanović Tatjana , Ilić Damir
Published: July 2023

The use of combat and commercial drones is on the rise. In addition to the use of military drones for military purposes and commercial drones for civilian purposes, the recent conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh and Ukraine also indicated the possibility of using commercial drones for military purposes. The profession of drone operator is becoming increasingly popular among young people interested in STEM education. Different tasks and activities require somewhat different drone operator skills, but the basics are the same. The aim of this paper is to analyze the knowledge, skills and abilities for UAS operators, both military and civilian. Based on the analysis of the literature and the results of the focus group discussion, the job descriptions were created with the job specifications for military and civilian UAS operators, along with recommendations for the future development of UAS operators in the Republic of Serbia.

Actitud de los adolescentes hacia la discapacidad
Authors: López Andrea
Published: July 2023

El objetivo de este proyecto es evaluar las actitudes hacia la discapacidad física y cognitiva con una muestra de 145 adolescentes de la comuna de Puente Alto, en Santiago de Chile, de manera que permita dar cuenta si las actitudes que se presentan en estas edades constituyen un factor que influye negativamente en la inclusión de las personas con discapacidad. Para tal efecto, se validó un instrumento que considera la incorporación de reactivos que miden los distintos componentes actitudinales (cognitivo, afectivo y tendencial) que conforman la actitud hacia la discapacidad, tanto física como intelectual. El instrumento quedó conformado por 36 ítems después de la validación de contenido y la medición de la confiabilidad de consistencia interna para tener una misma proporción de reactivos. Entre los componentes de la actitud, se consideraron 12 por cada componente actitudinal, incluyendo 6 reactivos para la discapacidad física y 6 para la discapacidad cognitiva. Así el instrumento final queda configurado con la misma cantidad de reactivos para cada componente. Después de la validación y aplicación del instrumento, se pudo concluir que hay un grado de consistencia entre los tres componentes que confluyen en una direccionalidad positiva general, con intensidad altamente positiva y una estabilidad en la actitud de los adolescentes hacia la discapacidad. Esta afirmación se apoya en el índice de confiabilidad que posee el instrumento con un valor Alfa de 0.869, demostrando ser un instrumento de medición confiable ya que se acerca al puntaje esperado que es 1.
Anksioznost v peripartalnem obdobju
Authors: Rus Prelog Polona , Rus Makovec Maja
Published: July 2023

Nosečnost je za ženske občutljivo obdobje, ki ga spremljajo pomembne fiziološke in psihološke spremembe, tako na čustveni kot biološki, hormonski ravni. Anksioznost je v obdobju tako velikih sprememb do neke mere normalen in prilagoditven odgovor na situacijo, vendar pa nekatere nosečnice izkusijo visoko raven anksioznosti, ki doseže stopnjo klinično pomembne motnje. Anksiozne motnje, ki se v peripartalnem obdobju najpogosteje pojavljajo, so generalizirana anksiozna motnja, panična motnja, fobije, obsesivno kompulzivna motnja in posttravmatska stresna motnja. Pretekla anamneza razpoloženjskih in/ali anksioznih motenj je med najmočnejšimi napovedovalci razvoja peripartalne anksioznosti. Kljub temu, da raziskovalno zanimanje za anksiozne motnje v peripartalnem obdobju narašča in vemo več o značilnostih in diagnostiki, pa so dokazi o klinični obravnavi – tako farmakološki kot nefarmakološki - še vedno omejeni. Tveganje in korist uvedbe farmakološkega zdravljenja vedno individualno pretehtamo. Prepoznava in obravnava anksioznosti med nosečnostjo sta bistvenega pomena in delujeta kot preventiva psihiatričnim motnjam po porodu. Poporodna anksioznost matere lahko tudi pomembno ovira proces navezovanja matere in otroka, kar ima posredno tudi vpliv na razvoj otroka. Pri nosečnicah, ki pa so v psihiatrično obravnavo že vključene zaradi obravnavane duševne motnje, pa je sledenje, podpora in dobro interdisciplinarno sodelovanje lečečega psihiatra in ginekološke službe nujno potrebno.

Published: July 2023

En la sociedad actual se hace necesario fortalecer el compromiso de los agentes públicos y privados para que dispongan de medidas y programas que favorezcan la concilia­ción de los tiempos personales, familiares y profesionales de la ciudadanía. Con vistas a poner de relieve buenas prácticas en el ámbito de la conciliación, se desarrolló un estudio de tres casos pertenecientes a la Comarca de Santiago de Compostela que contó con la represen­tación de la Administración local, el tejido empresarial y el movimiento asociativo. Se llevó a cabo una revisión documental a partir de la información disponible en sus páginas web y se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a los responsables de los respectivos programas de conciliación. El análisis de la información obtenida permitió conocer en profundidad el conjunto de medidas y programas que ofrecen, sus fortalezas y debilidades, el impacto eco­nómico y social que producen en el territorio y en la vida familiar, así como los beneficios que generan para la propia entidad. Se concluye que son iniciativas que, desde sus respectivos ámbitos de intervención, y a pesar de los aspectos que convendría mejorar, responden a bue­nas prácticas en materia de conciliación encaminadas al logro de una mayor equidad social.
El testimonio carcelario de Diego San José
Authors: Sánchez Zapatero Javier
Published: July 2023

El artículo se centra en el análisis de De cárcel en cárcel, la obra testimonial en la que Diego San José da cuenta de su experiencia de detención, juicio y encarcelamiento entre 1939 y 1944. Tras una introducción en la que se trata de contextualizar la obra —y a su autor— en la historiografía literaria española y en el marco teórico del testimonio, el artículo estudia la representación del periplo carcelario de San José centrándose tanto en su función cognitiva como en su valor memorístico y contradiscursivo. De ese modo, se analiza cómo, más allá de recrear la cotidianeidad de las prisiones franquistas en la primera posguerra, De cárcel en cárcel trata de denunciar la acción represiva del régimen, reflejando los violentos actos de represión, la persecución a los intelectuales, la aplicación de una justicia vengativa carente de toda lógica y la deshumanización a la que eran sometidos los presos.
"Quienes no han tenido jamás el 'derecho' a la(s) palabra(s), la(s) toma(n) ya". Sobre el testimonio de los presos en lucha a través de un boletín autoeditado en Barcelona, 1976-1978
Authors: Molina Agudo Inés
Published: July 2023

Este artículo examina la experiencia del boletín barcelonés Quienes no han tenido jamás el “derecho” a la(s) palabra(s), la(s) toma(n) ya, que publicó seis números entre 1976 y 1978 en diálogo permanente con la Coordinadora de Presos en Lucha (COPEL). En un primer momento, se aborda el ejercicio de toma de palabra de los presos desarrollado en esta publicación, a través del análisis de los mensajes y comunicados contenidos en ella, pero también de los “desmontajes” o détournements a los que somete a la prensa generalista. Después, se tratan de abordar las prácticas de producción y distribución del boletín, y su función en la construcción de solidaridad desde el exterior. En último lugar, se localizarán algunas de las supervivencias de esta práctica comunicativa desde el interior de las prisiones en la actualidad, apuntando los rastros de una memoria viva en la lucha anticarcelaria, e identificando una vez más la centralidad que guarda el testimonio carcelario en ella.
“¿Son hijos o entenados?” Un acercamiento a la pregunta por la estética-política en la literatura de hijos: entre narrativa y poesía, entre el legado de los 90 y el post 2001
Authors: Casali Silvana Mercedes
Published: July 2023

En el presente ensayo planteamos la pregunta por la estética-política de lo que en Argentina se conoce como “literatura de hijos”, tramada entre dos décadas que suelen ser presentadas como antagónicas: los 90 y los 2000, la narrativa neoliberal del menemismo y la narrativa nacional-popular del kirchnerismo respectivamente, elemento que supone una articulación entre estas producciones literarias y el más amplio espacio social. Desde la sociología de la literatura, relevamos una serie de intervenciones realizadas por agentes reconocidos del campo cultural, como el análisis de Tamara Kamenszain acerca del Diario de una princesa montonera. 110% Verdad de Mariana Eva Perez, y el testimonio del cineasta Nicolás Prividera, cuya consabida categorización de las producciones artísticas de hijos de desaparecidos –replicantes, frankensteinianas o mutantes– en ocasión de la presentación de Los topos de Félix Bruzzone, se actualizaría en el interrogante que de él tomamos prestado para nuestro título: la disyuntiva entre una literatura crítica de los 90 y una conformista. Así, demostramos el carácter abierto y dinámico de los sentidos en torno a estas literaturas “de hijos”, inevitablemente leídas en relación al más amplio contexto socio-político, y el lugar que viene a asumir el género poético –especialmente en el colectivo platense Los Detectives Salvajes– frente a un posible movimiento de mercantilización de la narrativa.
El neocolonialismo desde la mirada de un exiliado: la representación del indígena mexicano en tres cuentos de Herrera Petere
Authors: Burgos Ballester Lola
Published: July 2023

Alejados física e ideológicamente de la España de posguerra, la voz comprometida de los exiliados de 1939 fue escuchada y difundida en sus lugares de destino, principal esfera de actuación de estos intelectuales. Uno de los países que recibió y acogió a más españoles fue México, una nación que alentaba un futuro esperanzador para los recién llegados, pero que también lidiaba con la dependencia económica de Estados Unidos y la jerarquización racial de su sociedad. Las desigualdades derivadas de ambas situaciones pueden ser concebidas como huellas de antiguas relaciones coloniales, más refinadas y discretas, aunque igualmente perniciosas. Esta subalternidad de los indígenas era un sentimiento compartido por los exiliados, que también sufrían el desplazamiento y silenciamiento impuestos por la dictadura franquista. Dicha identificación coadyuvaría a que escritores como Herrera Petere, en sus cuentos “El indio enigmático y solo”, “A través del espejo” y “Juana de Dios”, concedieran poder, palabra y protagonismo a los mexicanos nativos y que combatieran estas prácticas del neocolonialismo desde su circunstancia particular y su mirada extranjera.
Undesigned World: what educating through walking means in the Anthropocene
Authors: Solé Coromina Laia , Korenblat Joshua
Published: July 2023

For this essay, we draw from a collaborative experience between two educators and thirty students in a course called Designed World, taught at a public university, to explore how attention and intention develop within the practice of walking across “patchy landscapes” (Tsing 2015, 20) or the anthropocentric landscape, and how they can assist thinking about the design of “possible worlds” (Haraway 1991). This essay adopts an interdisciplinary approach that integrates ecofeminist theory with ideas of Romantic empiricism and relates them to aesthetic education and theories about walking. This journey to new places of learning – beyond the indoor structure of the classroom or studio – begins with becoming attentive to the complexity around us. Attention is a lack of intention (Masschelein 2010, 48). In contrast to most design activities that begin with an intent to produce a desired outcome, and a rich methodology, such as Design Thinking, there is no method here and no sequence to follow. Instead, the goal is to allow the present to be sublime to us so that we open ourselves up in a vulnerable way to being changed by that through which we move. This form of teaching helps us practise attention, presence, and responsibility. We do not expect anything in return. The simple act of walking can help us navigate an indeterminate time and place and create a social art and commons.
Heterogeneous non-canonical nucleosomes predominate in yeast cells in situ
Authors: Tan Zhi Yang , Cai Shujun , Noble Alex J , Chen Jon K , Shi Jian , Gan Lu
Published: July 2023

Nuclear processes depend on the organization of chromatin, whose basic units are cylinder-shaped complexes called nucleosomes. A subset of mammalian nucleosomes in situ (inside cells) resembles the canonical structure determined in vitro 25 years ago. Nucleosome structure in situ is otherwise poorly understood. Using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and 3D classification analysis of budding yeast cells, here we find that canonical nucleosomes account for less than 10% of total nucleosomes expected in situ. In a strain in which H2A-GFP is the sole source of histone H2A, class averages that resemble canonical nucleosomes both with and without GFP densities are found ex vivo (in nuclear lysates), but not in situ. These data suggest that the budding yeast intranuclear environment favors multiple non-canonical nucleosome conformations. Using the structural observations here and the results of previous genomics and biochemical studies, we propose a model in which the average budding yeast nucleosome’s DNA is partially detached in situ.

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is caused by infection of the brain by larvae of the parasitic cestode
Taenia solium
. It is the most prevalent parasitic infection of the central nervous system and one of the leading causes of adult-acquired epilepsy worldwide. However, little is known about how cestode larvae affect neurons directly. To address this, we used whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology and calcium imaging in rodent and human brain slices to identify direct effects of cestode larval products on neuronal activity. We found that both whole cyst homogenate and excretory/secretory products of cestode larvae have an acute excitatory effect on neurons, which can trigger seizure-like events
in vitro
. Underlying this effect was cestode-induced neuronal depolarization, which was mediated by glutamate receptor activation but not by nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, acid-sensing ion channels nor Substance P. Glutamate-sensing fluorescent reporters (iGluSnFR) and amino acid assays revealed that the larval homogenate of the cestodes
Taenia crassiceps
and
Taenia solium
contained high concentrations of the amino acid’s glutamate and aspartate. Furthermore, we found that larvae of both species consistently produce and release these excitatory amino acids into their immediate environment. Our findings suggest that perturbations in glutamatergic signaling may play a role in seizure generation in NCC.
Exploring randomness in autism
Authors: Mantas Vasileios , Kotoula Vasileia , Pehlivanidis Artemios
Published: July 2023

Introduction

The fast, intuitive and autonomous system 1 along with the slow, analytical and more logical system 2 constitute the dual system processing model of decision making. Whether acting independently or influencing each other both systems would, to an extent, rely on randomness in order to reach a decision. The role of randomness, however, would be more pronounced when arbitrary choices need to be made, typically engaging system 1. The present exploratory study aims to capture the expression of a possible innate randomness mechanism, as proposed by the authors, by trying to isolate system 1 and examine arbitrary decision making in autistic participants with high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

Methods

Autistic participants withhigh functioning ASD and an age and gender matched comparison group performed the random number generation task. The task was modified to limit the contribution of working memory and allow any innate randomness mechanisms expressed through system 1, to emerge.

Results

Utilizing a standard analyses approach, the random number sequences produced by autistic individuals and the comparison group did not differ in their randomness characteristics. No significant differences were identified when the sequences were examined using a moving window approach. When machine learning was used, random sequences’ features could discriminate the groups with relatively high accuracy.

Conclusions

Our findings indicate the possibility that individual patterns during random sequence production could be consistent enough between groups to allow for an accurate discrimination between the autistic and the comparison group. In order to draw firm conclusions around innate randomness and further validate our experiment, our findings need to be replicated in a bigger sample.
Heuristics using a variable neighborhood approach for the clustered traveling salesman problem
Authors: Mestria Mário
Published: July 2023

In this work are proposed new heuristic algorithms to solve the Clustered Traveling Salesman Problem (CTSP). The CTSP is an extension of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), where the vertices are partitioned into disjoint clusters and the goal is to find a minimum cost Hamiltonian cycle, such that all vertices of each cluster must be visited consecutively. Two algorithms using Iterated Local Search with the Variable Neighborhood Random Descent were implemented to solve the CTSP. The proposed heuristic algorithms were tested in the types of different granularity instances with the diversified number of vertices and clusters. Computational results show that the heuristic algorithms reached the best performance in comparison to the literature algorithms and they are competitive to an exact method using the Parallel CPLEX software.

Published: July 2023

O estudo apresentado neste trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o desempenho da utilização do algoritmo de aprendizado de máquina Naive Bayes para previsão do movimento dos preços das ações que compõem o Índice Ibovespa do mercado de capitais brasileiro (B3 – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão). Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, foram coletados dados diários dos preços das ações, com participação superior a 1% na carteira teórica do Índice Ibovespa, e calculados indicadores técnicos no período de janeiro de 2012 a dezembro de 2021. Os resultados evidenciaram que os modelos desenvolvidos a partir do algoritmo Naive Bayes obtiveram um desempenho estatisticamente superior à média de mercado. Desse modo, o emprego desse algoritmo de aprendizado de máquina supera o retorno médio esperado com base em dados passados, questionando-se a eficiência desses mercados na forma fraca da hipótese de mercados eficientes (HME). A pesquisa realizada contribui para a literatura das finanças e a prática no mercado de capitais sobre o uso de algoritmos de aprendizado de máquina (especialmente, o Naive Bayes) para previsão do movimento dos preços de ativos listados no mercado brasileiro sob diferentes perspectivas: (i) o estudo acerca da predição dos movimentos diários dos principais ativos do Ibovespa; (ii) a evidenciação de que os desempenhos dos diferentes grupos de indicadores técnicos utilizados não apresentaram diferenças significantes; e (iii) o questionamento da eficiência dos mercados estudados em sua forma fraca  em um contexto de ampla automatização por algoritmos de aprendizagem de máquina.

Student mothers handle enormous responsibilities between taking care of their child and pursuing their studies. In this study, the researchers aim to explore the lived experiences of the student mothers in reference to their dual roles. The purpose of this study is to shed a light on the lives of these young women by providing a profound understanding of their struggles, motivations, and the different stories. The conversation partners were chosen via snowball and purposive sampling, which are guided by the following criteria: a.) a bonafide student enrolled in a state university in Negros Occidental in the 1st semester of Academic Year 2022-2023; b.) ages 20 - 24 years old; c.) a biological mother to young child/children ages 0 – 6 years old; d.) single parent or married; e.) has the custody of the child/living with her child or children, and f.) willing to participate in the study. Researchers employed an in-depth semi-structured interview as a tool in gathering the data. Each student mother underwent a one-on-one interview with the researchers in order to obtain substantial information of their lived experiences. The interviews were then transcribed for data analysis. After rigorous analysis, four core themes emerged from the data. Results revealed that most of the participants experienced personal struggles, societal acceptance as well as family and peer acceptance. Moreover, the student mothers shared that a strong support system is something that they wish for to have that could further help them in dealing with their day-to-day struggles. To cope with the different challenges that arise, the conversation partners rely greatly on their small family, their faith, as well as their immediate families and friends. The results of this study allowed the researchers to have a deeper insight of their situation and a glimpse of what is it like being a student mother.
An Overview of Nanoparticle Properties and Their Bioactivity

Published: July 2023

The term “nanoparticles” being expressed in microbiology is coined from the Greek word “nano” meaning “dwarf”. Nanoparticles range in size from 1-100nm. Nanoparticles vary in size, shape, and other properties and can exist with capping agents present after structure-controlled synthesis with starting materials like metals with or without organic agents. This systematic literature review article discusses current opinions on the properties of nanoparticles including the size and shape, surface area and surface charge, surface chemistry and reactivity and their magnetic properties. We also discuss the mechanisms of bioactivity of nanoparticles in reference to their interactions with microorganisms, penetration into microorganisms, disruption of cellular processes and their effects on microbial growth. We also discuss specifically, their antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. This is followed by a review of their diagnostic and therapeutic applications, the factors affecting nanoparticle bioactivity (exposure time and other intrinsic physicochemical properties) and how the intrinsic properties of microorganisms such as strain selection and growth conditions are affected by the activity of nanoparticles. In this review, we also compare nanoparticle research in the new world with activities in third world countries. We conclude by discussing the toxicity and safety concerns in the use of nanoparticles including the environmental impact and regulatory guidelines in the use of nanoparticles followed by a recommendation on future guidelines for research.

A field trial was conducted at Krishi Vigyan Kendra Dibrugarh, Assam Agricultural University (AAU) to study the production performance of local potato cultivar under different farming practices viz natural, organic and conventional farming during rabi season of 2022-2023. The results revealed that significant increase in growth, yield attributes and yield of local potato was observed in organic farming followed by conventional and natural farming. Growth character of potato like plant height both in vegetative (22cm) as well as reproductive stage (28cm) was found higher in organic farming as compared to conventional and natural farming. Results also indicated that the yield attributing characters like number of tuber plant-1 and average individual tuber weight were significantly higher in organic (4.91g and 9.1 nos) practices followed by conventional (4.49g and 9 nos  ) and natural farming practices (4.65g and 8.3 nos). Organic practice resulted better yield of local potato (107.23 q ha-1) as compared to conventional (92.94 q ha-1) and natural farming (88.77q ha-1) practices. The net economic return was also significantly higher in organic practice (222.83000 Rs. ha-1) in comparison to conventional (161.85000 Rs. ha-1) and natural farming (141.33000 Rs. ha-1) practices with more B:C ratio in organic practice (1:2.08).

Study of Automatic Gain Control System in Broadband Radio Receiver
Authors: Hashimov Kh. Kh.
Published: July 2023

In modern times, almost all communication systems are digital. In the receivers of such communication systems, the analog signal is discretized and quantized using an analog-to-digital converter at an intermediate frequency. Automatic gain control is used to avoid overloading the analog-to-digital converter and to maintain intermediate frequency analog signals at a suitable fixed level. If the power of the received signals is much less than the load level of the analog-to-digital converter, the automatic gain adjustment increases the gain, reducing the quantization noise. If the received signal strength is high, the automatic gain adjustment lowers the gain so that the analog-to-digital converter is not overloaded. The accuracy of the adjustment of the transmission coefficient of the automatic adjustment of the digital amplification does not always satisfy the requirements given in real time. Based on the above, the article is devoted to the study of the digital automatic gain regulator of the broadband radio receiver.

Published: July 2023

Esta pesquisa tem como intuito analisar como os elementos de natureza geográfica, em especial a representação cartográfica, fazem parte da estratégia empregada pela República Argentina na disputa espacial no Atlântico Sul e na Antártida no período de 2000 a 2020. Em um primeiro momento, analisa-se o contexto geográfico da região, considerando-se suas características e o interesse que os países têm nestas áreas. Em um segundo momento, para mostrar algumas das ações por trás da reivindicação destes espaços pela Argentina, são citadas as principais fontes econômicas das ilhas. Por fim, analisam-se documentos oficiais recentes – a Lei nº 26.651 de 2010(ARGENTINA) e o Mapa de los Espacios Marítimos (2020) – que envolvem a disputa por essas áreas. Ao final do trabalho, fica evidente como os mapas são ferramentas do poder e como questões relacionadas com escala e cores são fundamentais para atribuir elementos políticos a estes documentos cartográficos, tornando-os pertinentes na disputa espacial.
