Multistability near the boundary of noise-induced synchronization in ensembles of uncoupled chaotic systems
Authors:   Saratov State University, Illarionova Ekaterina , Moskalenko Olga ,   Saratov State University
Published: September 2023

The aim of this work is to study the possibility of the existence of multistability near the boundary of noise-induced synchronization in chaotic continuous and discrete systems. Ensembles of uncoupled Lorenz systems and logistic maps being under influence of a common source of white noise have been chosen as an object under study. Methods. The noise-induced synchronization regime detection has been performed by means of direct comparison of the system states being under influence of the common noise source and by calculation of the synchronization error. To determine the presence of multistability near the boundary of this regime, the multistability measure has been calculated and its dependence on the noise intensity has been obtained. In addition, for fixed moments of time, the basins of attraction of the synchronous and asynchronous regimes have been received for one of the systems driven by noise for fixed initial conditions of the other system. The result of the work is a proof of the presence of multistability near the boundary of noise-induced synchronization. Conclusion. It is shown that the regime of intermittent noise-induced synchronization, as well as the regime of intermittent generalized synchronization, is characterized by multistability, which manifests itself in this case as the existence in the same time interval of the synchronous behavior in one pair of systems being under influence of a common noise source, whereas in the other pair the asynchronous behavior is observed. The found effect is typical for both flow systems and discrete maps being under influence of a common noise source. It can find an application in the information and telecommunication systems for improvement the methods for secure information transmission based on the phenomenon of chaotic synchronization.

Published: September 2023

In undergraduate and postgraduate courses, it is customary to present the Dirac equation defined in a space of four dimensions: three spatial and one temporal. This article discusses aspects of the Dirac equation (QED) on the light front. This proposal of coordinate transformations comes from Dirac who originally introduced three distinct forms of relativistic dynamics possible depending on the choice we make of the different hypersurfaces constant in time. The first he called instantaneous, the most common form, the hypersurface of which is specified by the boundary conditions set at  . The second, known as the point form, has as its characterizing surface, a hyperboloid, described by the initial conditions in , being  one constant (chosen as the time of this system). The third relativistic form, known as the light front form, has its hypersurface tangent to the light cone; being defined by the initial conditions at , and  is the time in the light front system. The method of this work is deductive. Therefore, one obtains the solution of the Dirac equation for the Free Electron and for the positron in the coordinates in the light front with the particularity of the energy associated with the system being given by , and for moments  we have the electron and  we have the positron. The result of this is that the positive energy states in the light front  and negative   are independently described in the equation, and with additional, the problem at the limit that does not converge.

Published: September 2023

La escritura es considerada una actividad compleja pues involucra procesos cognitivos, sociales, psicológicos y emocionales (Aguirre, 2023). El estudio tiene como objetivo establecer un panorama de las habilidades escriturales de entrada de los estudiantes de primer año de tres carreras de una universidad pública chilena. La metodología es de tipo cualitativa, exploratoria, descriptivo-correlacional, transversal, no experimental, a través de dos instrumentos: un cuestionario de percepción sobre prácticas de escritura y una prueba diagnóstica. Con estos insumos es posible andamiar un conjunto de estrategias desde la Alfabetización Académica  (Navarro, 2021). Los resultados indican que la mitad del alumnado se percibe preparado para escribir un texto en la universidad, mientras que la otra mitad no. También se revela el desconocimiento y poco dominio del proceso de producción escrita. La evaluación arroja un tipo de escritor básico inicial y básico intermedio. Esta información posibilita la propuesta de una estrategia pedagógico-didáctica adecuada.

Published: September 2023

Jurnal ini menjelaskan tentang pentingnya pendidikan agama Islam dalam meningkatkan nilai karakter dan moral anak di masa pandemi. Selama masa pandemi, kegiatan pembelajaran tatap muka di sekolah dialihkan menjadi pembelajaran daring, tidak terkecuali dengan pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam. Hal ini menyebabkan kurang efektif nya pengamatan guru terhadap nilai karakter dan moral anak, sehingga nilai karakter dan moral anak menurun. Disisi lain, pentingnya Pendidikan Agama Islam sangat dibutuhkan untuk meningkatkan nilai karakter dan moral anak. Karena Pendidikan Agama Islam menjadi salah satu pilar terpenting pendidikan karakter dan moral. Pendidikan karakter akan berkembang dengan baik jika dilakukan dari jiwa keagamaan yang mendarah daging pada anak. Oleh karena itu, materi Pendidikan Agama Islam di sekolah menjadi salah satu sarana pendidikan karakter. Melalui pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam, siswa belajar aqidah sebagai dasar agama, mengajarkan Al-Qur'an dan hadits sebagai pedoman hidupnya, mengajarkan fiqh sebagai tanda legitimasi dalam beribadah, mengajarkan ajaran sejarah Islam sebagai teladan hidup dan mengajarkan akhlak sebagai pedoman hidup rakyat perilaku yang benar atau salah. Oleh karena itu, tujuan utama pembelajaran PAI adalah membentuk kepribadian siswa yang tercermin dari perilaku dan keadaan mentalnya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari

Authors: Sánchez Bulla Pablo Ignacio , Sánchez Bulla Rafael Emilio
Published: September 2023

Este artículo surge como producto de la electiva Seminario Internacional de Escritura de Artículos, llevado a cabo por el programa de Doctorado en Educación y Sociedad de la Universidad de La Salle en cooperación con la Universidad Canoas de Brasil, en el segundo semestre del 2021. El propósito de este seminario se fundamentó en elaborar un artículo científico producto de las reflexiones de los seminarios de investigación vistos. Por esta razón, se eligió analizar el posicionamiento político de los jóvenes en Latinoamérica desde el uso que hicieron de las redes sociales para exigir el reconocimiento de sus demandas por parte del Gobierno. Es así como se estudia la participación de los jóvenes desde Twitter, a fin de entender su posicionamiento político en la esfera pública y sus representaciones sociales en ejercicio de la protesta social. En este propósito se aborda la idea de política de Hannah Arendt y Chantal Mouffe, se examina la participación de los jóvenes en esta red social, se describe el posicionamiento político joven en la esfera pública en marco de la protesta social latinoamericana y, finalmente, se identifican las tendencias de los mensajes publicados en Twitter relacionados con la protesta social. El análisis se llevó a cabo desde un enfoque cualitativo, haciendo revisión de los trinos publicados entre los años 2015 y 2021, con el fin de conocer posturas políticas de jóvenes: se utilizaron algunas palabras claves y hashtags para identificar mensajes destacados en la búsqueda y, de esta forma, examinarlos desde la óptica del análisis crítico del discurso. Se concluyó que los jóvenes demuestran un posicionamiento político consistente con emprender luchas sociales que reivindiquen sus derechos en Latinoamérica, transformar realidades que suponen la vulneración de sus proyectos de vida, participar de la esfera pública e idear un modelo económico que brinde bienestar.

Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Adli Tıp Anabilim Dalında raporları düzenlenen vertebra kırığı olgularının retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmesi: 2021-2022
Authors: ŞENOL Ender , TEMÜRKOL Ramazan , CERAN Salih , ÇÖLLÜ Vural
Published: September 2023

Amaç: Maluliyet hesaplamaları Adli Tıp uygulamalarında önemli bir yer tutan ve maluliyet hesaplamasında kullanılan cetvellerindeki uygulama ve hesaplama farklarından doğan sorunlarla ilgili çalışmaların sıkça yapıldığı bir konudur. Yönetmeliklerin ekinde bulunan cetvellerin yaralanmanın değerlendirmesindeki bakış açılarının farklılığı, benzer arızalarda farklı sonuçlar ortaya çıkabilmesine, bazı olguların değerlendirmesinde yetersiz kaldığı durumlara neden olabilmektedir. Çalışmamızda çelişkili yorumlara neden olan ve ilgili yönetmeliklerdeki hesaplamalarda birden çok modeli bulunan ya da hiç karşılığı olmayabilen travmaya bağlı vertebra (omurga) kırığı olgularının değerlendirilmesi, maluliyet oranı değerlendirmesinde kullanılmakta olan yönetmelik maddelerinin tartışılması ve geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamıza 01.05.2021-01.05.2022 tarihleri arasında vertebra kırığı nedeniyle maluliyet raporu düzenlenmiş 75 olgunun sosyodemografik verileri, olaya ilişkin bilgileri, yaralanan vertebra bölgesi ve kısmı, uygulanan tedavi, değerlendirmede kullanılan çeşitli yönetmeliklere göre maluliyet oranları kaydedilerek frekans ve anlamlılık analizleri yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Olguların %84’ünde konservatif tedavi uygulanmışken %16’sında cerrahi tedavi tercih edilmiştir. Olguların meslekte kazanma gücünde azalma oranı ortalama 9,2±15,1, yaralanma modeline göre engellilik oranı 11,4±6,7, eklem hareket açıklığı modeline göre ise 9,6±7,4 olarak bulunmuştur. Korpus (gövde) kırığı olanların çoğunluğunda yaralanma mekanizması araç içi trafik kazası olarak bulunmuştur (p=0,013). Yalnızca korpus kırığı olan olgularda yaralanma modeline göre hesaplanan engellilik oranı eklem hareket açıklığı modeline göre hesaplanan engellilik oranından yüksek bulunmuştur (p=0,021). Cerrahi tedavi seçilen olgularda meslekte kazanma gücünde azalma oranı ve her iki modele göre hesaplanan engellilik oranları konservatif tedavi seçilenlere göre yüksek bulunmuştur (sırasıyla p=0,001, p=0,022 ve p=0,001). Sonuç: Vertebra yaralanmalarına bağlı maluliyet hesaplamalarında kullanılan yönteme göre değişen oranlar, itirazlar nedeniyle genellikle kişiler hakkında birden çok rapor düzenlenmesine, dolayısıyla hukuki sürecin uzamasına ve mağduriyetin artmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu sebeple bu tür travmalarda haksız kazanç ya da kayıpların önlenmesi ve hukuki sürecin uzamaması için her üç yönetmelikte de değişiklikler yapılması ya da kapsamlı tek bir yönetmelik üzerinde çalışılması gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.

Authors: Rohmah Sri Hidayatul
Published: September 2023

Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella and classified as a zoonotic disease. Brucellosis is usually asymptomatic in infected female animals, but it can cause placentitis, which leads to abortion in the fifth to ninth months of pregnancy in pregnant animals. Brucella infection is lifelong in animals, and Brucella bacteria can be found in the blood, urine, milk, and sperm. To prevent the spread of brucellosis in beef cattle that will be trafficked through the Pantoloan animal quarantine installation. From January to June, blood serum of male beef cattle was collected at the Pantoloan Animal Quarantine Installation, Palu Agricultural Quarantine. The Rose Bengal Test method was used on up to 7.046 serum samples. In the first semester of 2018, the positive incidence of blood serum testing for beef cattle using the Rose Bengal Test (RBT) method at ten beef cattle traffic frequencies revealed seropositive brucellosis in 38 out of 7,046 samples tested. Beef cattle were sourced from the Central Sulawesi, Gorontalo, and South Sulawesi provinces. Blood serum samples from Central Sulawesi showed the highest positive incidence. Based on the prevalence of seropositive brucellosis based on RBT in beef cattle transported through the Pantoloan animal quarantine installation, several cattle breeding areas should be monitored during subsequent traffic, and public awareness should be raised to prevent the spread of brucellosis.

Authors: Mey Vanda Pusparina Sajida  , Muhammad Rizqi Fadhli
Published: September 2023

Pyometra commonly occurs in female dogs > 4 years of age. There are two types of pyometra: open pyometra and closed pyometra. Open pyometra referred to purulent and bloody discharge from the vulva, while closed pyometra did not have any vaginal discharge; however, there was an enlarged abdomen from the fluid-filled uterus. A 7-year-old domestic bitch with a swollen abdomen was clinically diagnosed with closed pyometra as there was no vaginal discharge. Additional examinations, such as radiography, complete blood count, and biochemistry profiles were also performed to establish the diagnosis. A clear mass with grayish features, characteristic of fluid-filled abdomen, was found on radiography, while complete blood examination showed leukocytosis and elevated globulin levels, indicating an infection. Based on the following examinations, ovariohysterectomy was performed to eliminate the source of infection. Anti-inflammatory and antibiotic drugs were administered post-surgery, and the patient fully recovered after one week of intensive care.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: “Stuttering” is a speaking disorder where the flow of speech is blocked by an involuntary audible or inaudible pause, repetition and prolongation, causing; anxiety, depression, and embarrassment for a person. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of a stutterer nurses caring for the patients at clinical site.
Method: Qualitative descriptive phenomenology design was used to recruit Nine Stutter Nurses (6 males, 3 Female) through Purposive sampling technique. Individual, face to face, semi structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using thematic analysis.
Results: Three major themes and associated sub-theme emerged from the analysis of the participants’ narratives. The first theme compromise triggers of stuttering, with stress being the prominent one, the second theme compromises the impact and effect of stuttering in nursing, sub-associated with impact on self-esteem which is predominantly negative; impact on clinical care, which is of minimal impact; effect on relationships with colleagues that have no affect; and effect on relationships with patients that exert effect. The third theme compromise of management strategies by stutter nurses, sub-associated with techniques to overcome stuttering at clinical site.
Conclusions: Stuttering does not necessarily impact a nurse's ability to provide compassionate and competent care. By using strategies to manage stuttering and seeking support from colleagues and supervisors, a nurse who stutters can effectively communicate with patients and excel in their clinical practice.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: Depression is a common mental health problem in patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy. However, handling the problem of depression in the hospital has not become a treatment concern, resulting in increasing non-adherence to dialysis patient therapy. This study aims to determine the effect of depression management on the depression score of patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Method: This study used pre-experimental designs with One Group Pretest-Posttest. The study was conducted at the Malang Regional Hospital. The study population was chronic kidney failure patients undergoing routine hemodialysis in the hospital, with the sample criteria for depression based on the Beck Depression Inventory-II instrument, using the simple random sampling technique obtained from a total of 40 respondents. Data were analyzed quantitatively by Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test.
Results: There was an effect of depression management on the depression score of patients undergoing hemodialysis, and almost all respondents (92.5%) experienced a decrease in depression score. Providing depression management interventions carried out in 2 meetings was able to reduce depression scores. 
Conclusions: Depression management has been shown to be effective in reducing depression in patients with all categories of depression, both mild, moderate, and severe depression to not depressed. Provision of interventions in the management of depression is necessary for patients who experience depression as a result of undergoing hemodialysis therapy to avoid non-adherence to therapy.

Business intelligence adoption among small apparel retailers in KwaZulu-Natal
Authors: Mavutha Winiswa , Kamwendo Andrew , Corbishley Karen
Published: September 2023

Business intelligence (BI) can assist businesses with the analysis of information to make better decisions to improve business performance; however, a lack of research with respect to the adoption of BI tools specifically in the SMME apparel sector has been observed. Developments in information technology (IT) have led to an increase in competitiveness among providers, resulting in a plethora of offerings for customers to choose from. As such, businesses are operating in evolving and complex environments where business intelligence systems (BIS) have become essential. The aim of this study was to establish the factors that influence the adoption of BI by micro-small apparel retailers in KwaZulu-Natal. The study was a cross-sectional survey that sampled 132 apparel business owners who were selected using purposive sampling. A survey questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 13.0. This study found that the main inhibitors to the adoption of BI systems among small apparel retailers are cost-related. However, an interesting finding was that although cost had a negative relationship to adoption in the results, most of the respondents still indicated that they were able to make financial plans to adopt BI. The study recommends that small apparel business owners prioritize the adoption of BI as a tool for business operations. The adoption of such tools would have a net positive effect on the operations of such businesses.

Cooperatives are still one of the many solutions offered from the concept of populist economy which was initiated since the time of independence. However, after several years of cooperative existence there are still many cases that have not been successfully handled by the government related to cooperatives that are fraudulent and act criminally against their members. This has made people's trust in cooperatives begin to decline. This study aims to determine the factors that can increase interest in joining members, namely interpersonal skills, organizational image and religiosity. The research method used was structural equation modeling (SEM-PLS) using the Smartpls version 3 application. The results showed that interpersonal skills and organizational image had a significant positive effect on religiosity and intention to join. Furthermore, religiosity mediates the influence between the two independent variables.

Authors: Kiura Hesbon Mbuthia , Wanjau Kenneth , Kiai Richard
Published: September 2023

Coffee production in Kenya has plummeted, hurting the economy and worsening social inequality and poverty. Kenyan coffee marketing cooperative associations have failed to boost exports. Coffee is Kenya's main cash crop. Coffee is the country's principal foreign exchange earner, rural employment source, food security source, and revenue source. The reduction in coffee export earnings shows that coffee marketing cooperatives are inefficient and less flexible. This study examines how shared vision affects organizational ambidexterity. This transformational leadership-based study used exploratory and cross-sectional survey methodologies. The target audience was Kenyan coffee marketing cooperatives. The sample size was 242 Kenyan coffee marketing cooperative societies. A self-administered, semi-structured questionnaire collected primary data from cooperative society managers.

The progress and sustainability of a nation's economy are attributed to its human capital, and a country lacking competent, knowledgeable, and productive manpower will struggle to thrive due to a dearth of talented individuals in the job market. To enhance the quality of skilled manpower in industries, the South African government is promoting digital literacy among its youth. This research aims to investigate the use of ICTs skills and competencies as an enabler for promoting sustainable advancement of youth employability in South Africa, as the country's youth unemployment rate for the 15-34 age group was 55.2% in the 1st quarter of 2019. The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) era has exacerbated job scarcity and inequality due to the scarcity of advanced ICT skills. As a result, South Africa has chosen to increase ICT usage to enhance economic activity and job creation. A critical literature review was conducted to support the research inquiry through a systematic literature review (SLR) as the research methodology since the contents are based on existing literature studies in identifying research needs and gaps, collecting or gathering lines of thoughts Memon et al. (2020) and views in relation to ICT skills and competences as an enabler for sustainable advancement of youth employability in South Africa. The approach was supported using the Sustainable Livelihood Theory as the research framework to support the findings.
