Authors: Muhammad Ibrahim khan  , Bilal Ahmad  , Muhammad Shoaib  , Sana Anwar  , Zeshan Ali
Published: February 2025

AI and ML integration within smart infrastructure and electrical systems transforms the way classical engineering works due to improvements brought about in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability. It discusses the uses of AI-based approaches for predictive maintenance, optimization of energy resources, fault detection, and smart traffic management applications. Infrastructure monitoring and the efficiency of the power system significantly improve through the application of deep learning, reinforcement learning, and neural networks AI models. The data collection involved IoT sensors, AI-based predictive modeling, and real-time performance analysis. The results show that the use of AI-controlled systems outperforms traditional methods in structural monitoring, load forecasting, and grid management. These result in lower costs, increased safety, and efficient use of energy. Artificial intelligence also affects traffic systems, making them better at reducing congestion in the city and lowering emissions. Despite these strengths, challenges continue to be numerous due to the high computation requirements for implementation, high risks of cyber threats, and dependence on available data. These, however, may be overcome with hybrid AI models, blockchain-based security, and XAI explainability. The key integration of AI and sustainable energy is resiliency, as it can make the infrastructure of upgrading the grid structure, turn self-learning over time. The paper presents the opportunity of AI and its ability to revolutionize the practices of civil and electrical engineering for smarter, adaptive, and more sustainable infrastructures in the city. This will lead AI to constantly make its way toward the forefront through intelligent future infrastructures and global energy systems.
Mapping the New Middle East: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Netanyahu’s Speech at UNGA in 2023
Authors: Dr. Nazia Anwar  , Isha Razzaq Butt
Published: February 2025

The present study focuses on the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's vision of the "new Middle East" by identifying the lexical choices and rhetorical strategies he has used in his speech at UNGA in 2023 which was aimed at reshaping the regional dynamics and setting Israel's position within global peace and prosperity. By conducting a critical discourse analysis of the language used by Benjamin Netanyahu, the research indicates how language constructs and expresses power in addition to the realization of overt and covert ideologies. By Applying Norman Fairclough's model of CDA (2005), this study elucidates how Netanyahu orients Israel as a historical and geographical pivot after the declaration of its alliance with Saudi Arabia and some other Arab states. The findings have established the centrality of language in the construction of ideologies and set it as a junction of discourse and power in Netanyahu's visualization of the Middle East. The study implicates how language is employed to legitimize the political authority, perpetuate national interests and reinforce structures of power on the international stage.

The Impact of Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on Chronic Rhinosinusitis Severity and Treatment Outcomes: A Prospective Cohort Study in Bandung, Indonesia
Authors: Zainal Abidin Hasan  , Aisyah Andina Rasyid  , Hasrita Soleiman  , Alexander Mulya  , Pham Uyen  , Maria Rodriguez
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent inflammatory condition, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a known comorbidity that can exacerbate inflammatory processes. This study aimed to investigate the impact of uncontrolled T2DM on CRS severity and treatment outcomes in a cohort of patients in Bandung, Indonesia.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at a private hospital in Bandung, Indonesia, from January 2020 to December 2022. Adult patients diagnosed with CRS (with or without nasal polyps) were enrolled and categorized into two groups: controlled T2DM (HbA1c ≤ 7%) and uncontrolled T2DM (HbA1c > 7%). CRS severity was assessed using the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) and Lund-Mackay CT scoring. Treatment outcomes were evaluated at 3, 6, and 12 months post-initial treatment (medical and/or surgical) based on SNOT-22 scores, endoscopic findings, and the need for revision surgery.
Results: A total of 240 patients were included (120 with controlled T2DM, 120 with uncontrolled T2DM). At baseline, the uncontrolled T2DM group had significantly higher mean SNOT-22 scores (58.5 ± 12.3 vs. 45.2 ± 10.1, p < 0.001) and Lund-Mackay CT scores (11.8 ± 3.5 vs. 8.2 ± 2.8, p < 0.001) compared to the controlled T2DM group. At 12 months, the uncontrolled T2DM group showed significantly less improvement in SNOT-22 scores (mean change: -15.4 ± 8.7 vs. -28.3 ± 9.2, p < 0.001) and a higher rate of revision surgery (18.3% vs. 5.8%, p = 0.002). Multivariate analysis revealed that uncontrolled T2DM (HbA1c > 7%) was an independent predictor of poorer treatment outcomes (OR: 3.45, 95% CI: 1.98-6.01, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Uncontrolled T2DM is associated with increased CRS severity and significantly poorer treatment outcomes in patients in Bandung, Indonesia. Effective glycemic control should be a crucial component of CRS management in patients with T2DM.

(Un)justified influence of politics when making a decision on the application for the extradition of a defendant or convicted person
Authors: Radović Aleksandar
Published: February 2025

Extradition, as a mechanism of mutual legal assistance, continues to captivate the attention of both experts and the general public. Through various stages of its development extradition has evolved from being a purely political instrument. It is clear that extradition today carries a political dimension, reflecting the position of the executive branch of government toward a particular state. Recent cases involving requests for extradition from Montenegro have sparked public debate on various aspects, including whether political influence is justified in the decision-making process regarding the extradition of individuals to another state.

In this dynamic maritime theater, India's role emerges as pivotal, shaping and being shaped by a complex interplay of economic aspirations, security imperatives, and geopolitical dynamics. This research paper delves into the multifaceted dimensions of India's maritime security, analyzing its challenges to India's maritime security and the strategies employed to address them in the Maritime domain of India in the Indian Ocean region.
The role of waste managemnt in the circular economy using the AHP method
Authors: Ristanović Vladimir , Bučalina-Matić Andrea , Lalić Goran
Published: February 2025

The growing awareness of the importance of waste management in the economy has become an important issue of sustainability in recent years. The circular economy implies a higher degree of success in waste management. The aim of this paper is to analyze waste management at the local level. The research is based on a questionnaire of 250 respondents of different age and levels of education. The results obtained from the survey will be part of scientific research papers that represent the result of the Circular awareness project co-financed by the Secretariat for Environmental Protection of the City of Novi Sad. A model has been developed that should enable much healthier and more sustainable environment. We made the decision on waste management factors based on multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM). We used the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP method) to evaluate the elements that influence better waste management at the local level, which citizens rated as crucial in order to protect the environment. The results showed that without the education of people and available capacities, it is not possible to achieve a sustainable environment. An important component is the social responsibility of individuals at the local level. In this way, we have opened up space for future analyzes that can include regression models, and evaluate relations between individual categories.
Waste management as an important segment of sustainable development
Authors: Žikić Srđan , Tankosić Mirjana , Galik Violeta
Published: February 2025

One of the current problems of modern society, in addition to the increasingly intensive growth of the urban population, is the increase in the production of municipal waste. This represents a significant obstacle to the realization of the concept of sustainable development and environmental protection. The sustainability of urban areas largely depends on the adequate management of municipal solid waste, which requires an organized and coordinated set of activities. Numerous world experiences show that it is very important to ensure the support of the public at the beginning, to implement programs of information and education of citizens and thus familiarize them with all the possible benefits and costs of such a complex and demanding process. Accordingly, the Faculty of Social Sciences implemented the project "Circular Awareness" with the main goal of informing the youth of the city of Novi Sad about the issues of waste prevention, modern waste management and waste recycling. This research pointed out the importance of efficient and effective use of resources, as well as the fact that waste itself can be a resource. Recommendations and guidelines as a result of this scientific research work will be aimed at education about the importance of waste management, especially municipal and packaging, promoting good practices and business models when it comes to waste management.
City and a painting: The importance and role of painting in public space
Authors: Danilović Andrijana
Published: February 2025

Doctoral art research project City and a Painting - the Importance and Role of Painting in Public Space considers the topic of possible roles of painting interventions in public space through theoretical research based on the analysis of already existing interventions in the area of the inner center and several remote Belgrade settlements. This interdisciplinary project seeks to categorize representative examples of diferent types of interventions based on their function, in relation to the artistic, social, political, and context of relations with institutions. The research has led to the conclusion that Belgrade owes not only the rich diversity of painting interventions to artistic activity at diferent levels, but that the use of painting stimulated by nonartistic motives, which vary from simple commercial promotion to ideological propaganda and hate speech, is also hugely represented, thus confirming the relevance of the image in the public space of the contemporary city
The adventures of inspector Yoda the Wrinkled: Non-violent activism and queering the streets of Belgrade
Authors: Tunić Srđan
Published: February 2025

Inspector Yoda the Wrinkled is an artivist project which brought a distinct critical commentary and humor to the streets of Belgrade, Serbia, between 2014 and 2018. Inspector's work is closely interwoven with the LGBTQ+ history and street art interventions in the past two decades in Belgrade. Inspector playfully appropriated vernacular language, often subverting the meaning, and offering an important gender and social critique in the nationalistic and sometimes violent public space of Belgrade during the mid2010s. It is paramount to look at these interventions as situational artworks which serve as tools of queer placemaking and nonviolent activism. The stenciled little pug could be interpreted as a sign of resistance and hope in an environment prone to desensitization to violence and general apathy.

Through the camera eye: Jean Nouvel's Arab World Institute in Paris
Authors: Pješivac Željka
Published: February 2025

The study explores a conceptual approach to tradition/cultural heritage using the language of architecture on the example of Jean Nouvel's Arab World Institute in Paris. Moving between theory of perception and culture studies, gender studies, culture heritage studies, architecture and film, it is argued that Jean Nouvel bases the architecture of the Arab World Institute on the concept of translating key elements of the traditional, vernacular Arab architecture (mashrabiya, minaret, inner courtyard, passage) using the language of modern architecture inspired by film art. Here, translation is seen as a metaphorical and metonymic process, indicating that the mechanism of common knowledge about Arab civilization is cinematic in nature; that is, that the knowledge about Arab civilization in the context of discourse on Orientalism (colonialism) is mediated by representations i.e. constructed through the "eyes" of the West. Through the concept of translation, Nouvel simultaneously determines similarities and diferences between the ideologies of the capitalist West and the traditional East, encouraging a new postCold War perspective that privileges cooperation and communication between France, Europe and the Arab world. In what way are the traditional elements of vernacular Arab architecture present in Nouvel's architecture of the Arab World Institute? Why are they translated in the language of modern Western architecture? Why were film art elements used in the aesthetics of the architecture of this Institute? In what way is the parallel between East and West established, and what is the political eect of the aesthetics of the architecture of this Institute?

Assessment of health literacy of adults receiving their health care at the Pirot Health Center and the factors that determine it
Authors: Gotić Jelena , Marković Marko , Radovanović Jovana
Published: February 2025

Introduction/Aim: Health literacy is a concept that has been gaining increasing importance in the field of public health and healthcare, even though it has been in use since the 1970s. The aim of this work is to assess the level of health literacy in the population of adult patients who receive their health care in the Pirot Health Center, as well as to identify factors that may be associated with the level of health literacy. Methods: The research was conducted in the form of a cross-sectional study in the Pirot Health Center in the period from 1.5.2024. until 1.6. 2024. 400 respondents participated in the research. The general questionnaire and the European Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q-47) were used as research instruments. The chi-square test was used in the statistical analysis of the data. Results: Out of 400 adult health center respondents, 10.2% had inadequate, 15.8% problematic, 33.5% sufficient, and 40.5% excellent health literacy. Sufficient or excellent health literacy was statistically significantly associated with gender, age, place of residence, marital status and level of education. Persons with chronic diseases, as well as persons who personally assessed that they have poor and very poor health status, significantly more often had inadequate/problematic health literacy. Conclusion: A low level of health literacy is a key barrier to the use of appropriate health care, which is why it is necessary to continuously work on the identification of groups with inadequate health literacy and their education.
Ten years since the adoption of the Law on Execution of sanctions and measures outside of the penitentiary institutions
Authors: Drakić Dragiša , Milić Ivan
Published: February 2025

The criminal sanctions that do not entail deprivation of liberty of a perpetrator of a criminal act have been increasingly proscribed. Also, the sentence of imprisonment has been modified in regard to the place of its execution - because it can be conducted either in a correctional facility or in a home of a convicted person. It is evident that there is the increase of the security measures. In reference to the proscribing the sanctions, there is a similar tendency in the field of misdemeanors as well. If a penatly sanction is imposed and a judicial decision, by the rule, becomes final than follows the execution of a sanction. The process of execution of criminal sanctions has been regulated by a number of documents of different legal strenght - by laws and by-laws. By the year 2014 'the main regulation' in the field of execution of criminal sanctions has been the Law on Execution of Criminal Sanctions and by-laws adopted on the basis of the afore mentioned Law. In 2014 the National Assembly adopted the Law on Execution of Sanctions and Measures Outside of the Penitentiary Institutions, by which the above mentioned Law has been supplemented. By the former Law, many important innovations regarding the execution of certain sanctions imposed on the perpetrators of punishable acts: criminal offences, misdemeanors and commercial offences. The execution of certain measures toward a suspected, accused or convicted person has been also regulated by the mentioned Law. It can be concluded that the Law on Execution of Sanctions and Measures Outside of the Penientiary Institutions is a lex specialis in relation to the Law on Execution of Criminal Sanctions.
On the one-year Statute of limitations
Authors: Tešić Nenad
Published: February 2025

The Law of Obligations - ZOO (1978), thanks to its internal quali ties, has survived to this day, not only in the Republic of Serbia, but also in all the states created by the dissolution of Yugoslavia (with minor changes and adaptati ons). The analysis of certain legal institutes, such as Statute of limitations, shows that the circulation of goods and services has developed significantly in relation to the time when the norms of the Law on Obligations were formulated and that their application in numerous cases requires more than mere grammatical inter pretation. Norms on the one-year Statute of limitations for claims (Law on Obli gations Article 378) are not exempt from fluctuations in judicial practice. Some claims, such as a claim by a mobile phone operator for the provision of a mobile phone service, can relatively easily be subsumed under the statutory phrase "cla ims in respect of the use of post, telegraph and telephone services", even though a mobile phone operator is not a post office and even though modern smartphones look nothing like their 1978 predecessors. It is the same with the claim for the delivery of cable television signals via coaxial or optical cable, which can easily be equated with the wording "claim of a radio station and a radio television station for the use of a radio receiver and a television receiver." However, claims for the provision of Internet services, either on their own or in a package with claims for the provision of other services and the sale of goods (payment in instalments for different devices: smartphone, watch, etc.), pose a greater dilemma. The foregoing points to the need to think about the reformulation of Article 378 of the ZOO or the introduction of the rule on the one-year Statute of limitations for claims against consumers into the Law on Consumer Protection. In this context, it would be im portant for the wording to be sufficiently broad to include all current consumer services, as well as those that we can only envisage today as a result of the process of digital transformation of economic activity and society as a whole.

Published: February 2025

The first sighting of the African Weaver (Ploceus cucullatus) is reported in the department of La Guajira, northern Colombia. Field inspections conducted between September 3rd and 5th, 2023. Over 60 individuals and active nests were observed. Species identification was based on the analysis of diagnostic plumage coloration characters. The introduction of exotic species such as the African Weaver into natural ecosystems can have negative consequences for resident birds, as its invasive potential could generate significant competition with native species and cause damage to crops.
¿Te ignoro o te reconozco? Un caso de discriminación de cantos entre poblaciones de Myiothlypis nigrocristata (Parulidae)
Authors: Soler Barbón Mateo
Published: February 2025

Las señales de comunicación como el canto pueden divergir entre poblaciones aisladas, potencialmente generando barreras reproductivas. Este proceso puede ser más acelerado en aves cuyo canto está moldeado por el aprendizaje, ya que la divergencia vocal puede marcar el grado de aislamiento geográfico entre poblaciones. Evaluamos el reconocimiento de cantos entre poblaciones aisladas de la Reinita Myiothlypis nigrocristata (Parulidae) mediante experimentos de playback con 15 parejas territoriales en la Cordillera Oriental de Colombia (Zipaquirá y Bogotá). Expusimos cada pareja a cuatro tratamientos: cantos locales (homotípicos), cantos foráneos (heterotípicos) de la Serranía del Perijá (Colombia) y de los Andes de Áncash (Perú), y como control, cantos de Troglodytes aedon. Medimos seis variables comportamentales de respuesta territorial y mediante análisis de componentes principales obtuvimos una métrica compuesta de la respuesta de las parejas focales al playback. Los modelos lineales mixtos revelaron que las parejas respondieron intensamente a los cantos locales (PC1 = 2.50) y moderadamente a los cantos de Áncash (PC1 = 1.00), la población más distante geográficamente (≈2610 km), pero mostraron una ausencia notable de respuesta a los cantos de la Serranía del Perijá (PC1 = -2.00), una población más cercana (≈832 km) pero aislada. La falta de reconocimiento como conespecíficos a los cantos de la Serranía de Perijá sugiere que dicha población podría representar una entidad evolutiva independiente a la de la Cordillera Oriental. La respuesta diferencial a las dos poblaciones con cantos foráneos (siendo la de Ancash la más lejana, pero que estimuló una respuesta comportamental) sugiere que el reconocimiento de cantos depende más del aislamiento poblacional, y posiblemente a su historia filogeográfica, que de la distancia. Futuros estudios que incorporen análisis de la divergencia vocal, experimentos recíprocos de playback, una revisión fenotípica poblacional y un contexto filogeográfico podrían ayudar a delimitar especies crípticas dentro de este complejo.
Relaciones ecomorfológicas entre la forma del ala y la diversidad ecológica de las aves colombianas
Authors: López-García Larry E.
Published: February 2025

La relación entre el tamaño y la forma del ala refleja tanto los hábitos de vuelo como la capacidad de dispersión. Sin embargo, los estudios basados en especímenes de aves suelen usar medidas de alas plegadas, lo que limita análisis más precisos sobre la capacidad de vuelo. En particular, el índice mano-ala (HWI, en inglés) ha ganado popularidad en la última década, pero su estimación a partir de alas plegadas tiene baja repetibilidad. Evaluamos tres índices aerodinámicos (HWI, relación de aspecto y carga alar) en 198 especies, usando medidas y fotografías de 969 alas abiertas fijas de especímenes de la Colección Nacional de Aves del Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Estimamos el área alar con ImageJ, la longitud de la cuerda alar con una regla de tope y las medidas de las rémiges con un calibrador digital (precisión de 0.01 mm). Los datos de masa corporal y envergadura se obtuvieron de los metadatos de la colección. Analizamos la variación de los tres índices aerodinámicos y su relación con el hábitat (interior de bosque, dosel, borde y áreas abiertas). Las aves de interior de bosque presentaron un HWI significativamente menor que las de dosel y borde. Las aves de zonas abiertas tuvieron alas más puntiagudas, mientras que la carga alar solo diferenció entre especies de borde e interior de bosque. Al corregir por filogenia, las aves de interior de bosque mantuvieron valores de HWI menores. Estos resultados evidencian que las alas abiertas de colección proporcionan información clave sobre la ecología de vuelo y sugieren que las aves de interior de bosque tienen menor capacidad de dispersión. Esto podría relacionarse con la vulnerabilidad a la fragmentación. En el futuro, buscamos expandir este análisis a todas las aves colombianas y comparar métricas de vuelo entre alas abiertas y plegadas.

Authors: Annisa Harahap  , Azzam Al Fatih
Published: February 2025

Indonesian, as a unified language, has a wealth of dialects which are influenced by various regional languages. These dialect differences significantly influence the phonetic aspects of Indonesian, especially in terms of sound pronunciation. This research aims to examine how dialect variations can change the way speakers pronounce words in Indonesian.Analysis of various dialects in Indonesia shows that there are quite striking differences in terms of phoneme use, intonation and rhythm. Factors such as mother tongue, social environment, and level of education also influence pronunciation variations. Some examples of dialect influences include changes in consonant or vowel sounds, addition or deletion of syllables, and differences in intonation which can change the meaning of a sentence.This research has important implications in the fields of linguistics, sociolinguistics, and language education. A deeper understanding of the influence of dialect on Indonesian phonetics can help in developing a more relevant and effective Indonesian language learning curriculum, as well as in increasing awareness of the richness of Indonesian language and culture.

This paper examines the effects of COVID-19 and business strategy on the performance of Chinese-listed firms. Using a sample of 2,606 Chinese non-financial listed firms over 2010‒2022, we provide evidence that the COVID-19 (business strategy) pandemic has a significant negative (positive) impact on firm performance and business strategy positively moderates the negative relationship of COVID-19 on firm performance. We further show that firms with a proactive business strategy had better resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic than firms with a defensive business strategy. We also find that these relationships are more pronounced for state-owned and large firms. Our results are robust to a battery of robustness tests and contribute to the growing debate on the role of business strategy during crises, offering insights to regulators and policymakers.
Antikinė Grožio ir kūrybinės komunikacijos samprata antikos filosofijoje
Authors: Juzefovič Agnieška
Published: February 2025

Straipsnyje daugiausia dėmesio skiriama klasikinės filosofijos analizei, visų pirma Platono ir Aristotelio tekstams, taip pat apžvelgiamas straipsnio kontekste aktualių problemų atsiradimas ir formavimasis ankstyvojoje (iki sokratikų) bei vėlyvojoje (helenistinėje) antikos filosofijoje. Išryškinamos komunikacinės grožio ir meninės kūrybos plotmės – svarstoma, ką medijuoja ankstyvojoje graikų filosofijoje susiformavusi metafizinė grožio samprata, nagrinėjamas harmonijos, simetrijos, euritmijos ir proporcijų vaidmuo formuojant klasikinę grožio sampratą, taip pat steigiant komunikacinį santykį tarp meno kūrinio ir suvokėjo. Nagrinėjant antikos kalokagatijos sampratą atskleidžiama, kaip gėris, grožis ir tiesa gali pratęsti vienas kitą ir komunikuoti vienas per kitą. Taip pat gilinamasi, ką gali byloti grožis pasitelkiant Erotą ir kaip susiformuoja subjektyvistinė, jusliškesnė grožio samprata. Aptarus antikos meninės kūrybos sampratą ieškoma atsakymo, ar menininko paskirtis yra komunikuoti mūzų bei dievų įkvėptas idėjas ir kurti idealią tikrovę, ar veikiau gaminti amatus ir mėgdžioti iliuzijų pasaulį. Meninės kūrybos ir kūrybinės komunikacijos problematika nagrinėjama ir katarsiniu aspektu – kaip sielos gryninimas, vidinis apsivalymas bei malonumo išgyvenimas. Straipsnyje svarstoma, kaip formavosi ir kito grožio bei kūrybinės komunikacijos sampratos ir kuo ši problematika tebėra aktuali nudienos estetikai ir komunikacijos teorijai, išryškinama antikos filosofijoje susiformavusių idėjų recepcija dabartinėje fenomenologinėje filosofijoje.

Los refugiados en el discurso de los expresidentes argentinos Cristina Fernández y Mauricio Macri: ¿número, problemática o personas?
Authors: Flax Rocío
Published: February 2025

This work aims to analyse the representation of refugees in public speeches by former Argentine presidents Cristina Fernández and Mauricio Macri. For that purpose, a set of speeches was selected from those delivered by Fernández in the last year of her term (2015) and by Macri in the first year of his term (2016). All the speeches selected contain references to refugees. Our research adopts the research framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and it applies a qualitative methodology. The analysis shows that Mauricio Macri constructs an open-minded and multicultural discourse, which describes Argentina as a country receiving refugees, but which dehumanises migrants. In contrast, Fernández lays special emphasis on the personal stories of refugees, their odyssey across countries that rejected them, and the global economic and political conditions that triggered their need to leave certain countries.

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar qué representaciones sociales construyen en sus discursos los expresidentes argentinos Cristina Fernández y Mauricio Macri sobre los refugiados. Para ello, seleccionamos los discursos del último año de presidencia de Cristina Fernández (2015) y del primer año de Mauricio Macri (2016) en que aparecieran referencias a dichos actores sociales. La investigación se inscribe en el Análisis Crítico del Discurso y seguimos una metodología cualitativa. El análisis muestra que Mauricio Macri construye un discurso aperturista y multicultural, que describe a la Argentina como un país receptor de refugiados, pero deshumaniza a los migrantes. En cambio, Fernández hace hincapié en las historias personales de los refugiados, su odisea por países que los rechazan y las condiciones económicas y políticas mundiales que desencadenaron la necesidad de abandonar determinados países.
