Authors: PRUNĂ (BÜHLER) Elena Cristina , OLARU Aurel Liviu , ROȘCULETE Cătălin Aurelian , PĂUNESCU Ramona Aida
Published: January 2025

Human (anthropogenic) influence, mostly generalized industry, intensive conventional agriculture, traffic and others, causes the increase of concentration of greenhouse gases to a level by which significantly more heat is radiated back to the earth than it was in the initial state. This is how climate warming occurs. At the international level, periodic inventories are carried out that show the fact that the biosphere absorbs, approximately, half of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions, and at the terrestrial level, the carbon source and reserve is given by the northern hemisphere.This study presents some results from the literature regarding the methods of C emissions reduction and its sequestration per surface unit, i.e. per hectare of agricultural crops, to increase the contribution of agriculture to environmental depollution. The used methods included searching of databases, such as Web of Science or Google Scholar, in order to identify some relevant results.Reducing CO2 emissions can be achieved through biological, chemical and technological options, either by reducing or sequestering them.

Published: January 2025

Conservation agriculture is an agricultural system that significantly contributes to climate change adaptation in many countries around the world. Many farmers in the Republic of Moldova are adopting this system and applying it successfully. Unfortunately, agricultural science has lagged for various reasons. A field experiment was conducted on the lands of the National Centre for Research and Seed Production to identify the main issues in cultivating corn under no-tillage systems compared to traditional agricultural systems. The results were next: the germination of cover crops, both in mixed and pure stands, was successful. The amount of water accumulated in the soil during the autumn-winter period was strongly influenced by soil management methods. The highest amount of water, 126 mm, was recorded in the variant where the soil was covered with plant residues. In the autumn-spring period, the cover crops formed up to 10.5 tons per hectare of above-ground dry biomass. Corn grain production ranged from 2.50 to 5.41 tons per hectare in 2023. The general conclusion was that research in conservation agriculture is highly complex and requires time and resources to be conducted successfully. A new research project has been established. The main objectives have been set, and initial investigations have been carried out. To successfully study conservation agriculture, unique and simple, as well as complex and multifactorial experiments, are necessary, along with the demonstration of result.

Published: January 2025

This study aimed to determine the impact of MCPA (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid) in reducing Cirsium arvense and Taraxacum officinale species in grassland ecosystems. The presence of Cirsium arvense and Taraxacum officinale species represents an obstacle in the preservation and restoration of biodiversity in temporary meadows. At the same time, these species reduce the yield of meadows, a fact that requires the application of control methods. The practical ecosystem in which the study was carried out belongs to the town of Carani, Timiș county. To reduce the population of Cirsium arvense and Taraxacum officinale were applied three herbicides: MCPA 50% DMA, MCPA 75% DMA and Starane. Hormonal herbicides MCPA 50% DMA (0.9 l/ha, 1.2 l/ha, 1.5 l/ha, 2.0l/ha) and MCPA 75% DMA (0.6 l/ha, 0.8 l/ha, 1.0 l/ha, 1.3 l/ha) were applied in four doses. The impact of the substance MCPA, in the control of Cirsium arvense and Taraxacum officinale species, was determined at 15 – 28 and 42 days after application. The herbicides used in the experiment reduced Cirsium arvense and Taraxacum officinale populations in grassland ecosystems by 60-100%. The application of 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), in different doses, led to a survival of common dandelio, in the experimental variants of 3.33 - 20%. The population being controlled in a proportion of 80-96.67%, 42 days after applying the treatments. The impact of the herbicide, hormonal, MCPA was lower in population control of Cirsium arvense. The effectiveness of the herbicides depended on both the active substance content and the applied dose.

Philautía, amor propio y autoayuda en la contemporaneidad: El amor propio no es amor
Authors: Alarcón Ignacio , Novoa-Rojas Francisco
Published: January 2025

El estudio examina la evolución del concepto de amor propio en la sociedad contemporánea, contrastándolo con las perspectivas de Aristóteles y Jean-Luc Marion. Aristóteles distingue entre un amor propio virtuoso, alineado con la virtud y el bien común, y uno vicioso, marcado por el egoísmo. Marion, por su parte, ofrece un contraste radical, viendo el amor como un fenómeno saturado que trasciende al sujeto y se orienta hacia la alteridad, desafiando la noción de amor propio o autorreferencial. El artículo destaca cómo las narrativas modernas, influenciadas por la psicología positiva y la cultura de la autoayuda, han transformado el amor propio en una herramienta de autosatisfacción, desvinculada de su dimensión ética y comunitaria, lo que a su vez afecta las relaciones humanas y la cohesión social. La investigación utiliza un enfoque hermenéutico exegético para explorar cómo ambos marcos filosóficos pueden contribuir a una comprensión más profunda del amor propio, enfatizando la necesidad de reevaluar este concepto en el contexto de las dinámicas sociales actuales.
Exploring the Experiences of Mixed-Age Class Childcare Teachers in Small-Scale Childcare Centers through Learning Communities: Challenges and Efforts in Implementing a Play-Centered Curriculum
Authors:   Korea Assoc Child-centered Pract, Ahn Jee-Hye , Son jin-suk
Published: January 2025

This study explores the experiences of childcare teachers in small-scale mixed-age classes as they implement a play-centered curriculum through participation in learning community meetings. Data were collected through participant observation, interviews, and documentation involving three childcare teachers at a public daycare center in a rural area. Using qualitative research methods, the data were analyzed to uncover the essential experiences of these teachers, focusing on the challenges and efforts associated with implementing a play-based curriculum. The challenges encountered included “frequent challenges in mediating conflicts among children,” “obstacles in fostering peer relationships at similar play levels,” and “difficulties in supporting play through observation.” The teachers’ efforts to address these challenges were characterized by “viewing all children as active participants in play,” “shifting away from teacher-led approaches and embracing change,” “recognizing the strengths of mixed-age group settings that benefit all children,” and “supporting the overall well-being of both children and their parents.” This study contributes to the field by illustrating the potential for curriculum transformation through teacher efforts, rediscovering the educational value of mixed-age care, and highlighting the importance of sustained collaborative exchanges among educators, as observed through the experiences of small-scale mixed-age childcare teachers in learning communities.
The meaning of parental leave experienced by teachers at public daycare centers
Authors:   Korea Assoc Child-centered Pract, Shin Hwan-hee , Lee You-me
Published: January 2025

This study aims to explore the experiences of public daycare teachers on parental leave and the educational meaning contained in it as a point of contact between the parental leave system and childcare services that are being implemented to support work-family balance in today’s society facing the problem of ultra-low birth rates. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted with two current teachers at public kindergartens in Gyeonggi Province who returned to work after parental leave, and the collected data were analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study indicated that public daycare teachers were able to experience motherhood through parental leave and objectively observe the kindergarten setting. The meaning of parental leave contained in these experiences was ‘an opportunity to recognize the intrinsic value of a child's existence’ and ‘a moment to empathize with the perspectives of parents’. It was also ‘a time to pledge to grow as a good colleague’ and ‘a reflective pause to enhance future performance’. This study is significant in that it examines the experiences of daycare teachers on parental leave, which can be considered a career gap, and derives the meaning of teacher growth that occurs in the process.
Marsili Luigi Ferdinando (Bologna 1658– 1730) és a növények, gombák
Authors: Ubrizsy Savoia Andrea
Published: January 2025

Marsigli’s interest also extended to plants, as evidenced by his published scientific works and unpublished manuscripts, as well as by the museum he set up with the
material he collected. For his observations, he used a microscope, meteorological measuring
instruments and inventive tools of his own design. His attention focused both on crops and
on vegetation, which is part of the system that forms the basic unit of the landscape in its relationship and interaction with the other constituent elements (man, soil, fauna, etc.). Marsili
already recognised the spatial and temporal dynamism of vegetation along the Danube, the
sequence of adjacent but different biotic communities. His method also incorporates historical and cultural aspects, which can also be expressed through cartography. In his partially
bilingual study on coffee and its consumption, and in his great monograph on the Danube,
he was assisted by the Bolognese botanist Professor Trionfetti Lelio in the precise botanical
classification of the plants that form “floating islands” in some European lakes and the zonally
distributed sublittoral vegetation. He wanted to clarify the origin of cryptogamous organisms,
one of the main topics of the scientific interest of his era. In this connection, Marsili deals with
fungi, mosses and lichens in a richly illustrated study and an even richer collection in manuscript form. Contradicting his Bolognese mentor, the famous Marcello Malpighi, he adopts the
Aristotelian theory of spontaneous generation, in contrast to the theory of the reproduction of
cryptogamous organisms, including fungi by spores.
His contemporary Micheli Pietro Antonio dedicated the genus Marsilea, liverwort (1729) to
him in recognition of his scientific merits. Linné retained the name but gave it to the water fern,
Marsilea quadrifolia (1753).

Published: January 2025

Degenerative diseases are diseases that cause damage or destruction to body tissue or organs that arise due to a decrease in the function of one or more of the body's organs which are very susceptible to elderly people. Considering the large negative impact of degenerative diseases, it is necessary to prevent or seriously treat the dangers of degenerative complications. Efforts to minimize this danger can be made by increasing public awareness about things that can cause degenerative diseases. Therefore, we need a system that can help as an alternative to consulting a doctor for the general public. Therefore, this expert system was built using the Certainty Factor method which can be used as a solution in using an expert system to diagnose this Degenerative disease. In its application, the certainty factor method can provide a percentage level of confidence in a disease, if the user has or selects symptoms so that they can determine the type of disease they are suffering from. Based on the tests carried out, it can be concluded that this expert system application can be used by users to make an early diagnosis of degenerative diseases. This expert system can be accessed at the link www.sp_ Degenerative.com. Making it easier for users to consult.

A Comprehensive Review of the History, Advantages, Applications and Fabrication Techniques of Composite Materials
Authors: Lin Huang
Published: January 2025

Composites are materials made from at least two different materials. Composites were initially employed by ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians in the 1600s B.C. to construct long-lasting houses out of a combination of mud and straw. As late as the Middle Ages, composite items like ceramics and boats relied on reinforcing materials made from straw. When these materials, which have very different chemical or physical characteristics, are combined, a new substance is produced that is unlike any of its component parts. Many people are drawn to novel material because it offers advantages over the status quo, such as greater strength, lower weight, or lower cost. Recent years have seen an uptick in the study of Robotic Materials, composites with built-in capabilities for sensing, actuation, computing, and communication. Because of their superior qualities, composites are increasingly being used in place of more traditional materials; this calls for further study of these materials. This article provides a review of composite materials before going through their history, fabrication methods, benefits, and uses.

Published: January 2025

Objectives: This study evaluated the number and quality of working length (WL) and master cone (MC) radiographs taken during root canal treatment by dental undergraduates, and their associations with the technical quality of root canal fillings (TQRCF) and endodontic outcomes (EO).Methods: A retrospective evaluation of radiographs from 303 root canal-treated teeth in 231 patients was conducted, with 72 patients attending recall visits to assess EO. The chi-square and one-way analysis of variance tests were performed.Results: A total of 505 WL and 557 MC radiographs were reviewed, with 72.9% and 75% deemed satisfactory, respectively. Satisfactory TQRCF was achieved in 60.4% of cases. Significant associations were found between the extension of the file in WL and gutta-percha in MC radiographs and TQRCF (p = 0.000). Misinterpretation of these radiographs resulted in poor TQRCF. Furthermore, 64.2% of teeth had satisfactory EO. A significant relationship was noted between the quality of MC radiographs and both TQRCF (p = 0.043) and EO (p = 0.003).Conclusions: Unsatisfactory MC radiographs were linked to poor TQRCF and unfavorable EO. Regular radiographic training is recommended to enhance EO.

Authors: Chibuogwu I. C. , Sulaiman R. O. , Okoro P. C. , Eze C. D.
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to evaluate the immunoreproductive and endocrine effects of exogenous oleic acid in mature female Wistar rats on an unrestricted diet. Eighteen mature Wistar rats with normal oestrous cycles were randomly divided into three groups: a control group and two experimental groups (low-dose and high-dose), each consisting of six rats. For three weeks, the rats in the experimental groups received daily oral doses of oleic acid at either 500 mg/kg or 1000 mg/kg of body weight. In contrast, the control group received 0.5 ml of distilled water. After the treatment, the oestrous cyclicity, serum hormone levels, reproductive organ weights, and blood parameters were analysed through a full blood count. The results showed no significant changes (p > 0.05) in oestrous cyclicity, serum oestrogen, progesterone, or luteinizing hormone levels. However, there was a significant increase (p < 0.05) in the weight of the relative reproductive tract, as well as in the number of mid-cells and neutrophils. Conversely, there was a substantial decrease (p < 0.05) in the relative lymphocyte count. Overall, the research indicated that oleic acid does not influence oestrous cyclicity or levels of serum oestrogen, progesterone, and luteinizing hormone in rats on an unrestricted diet. However, it does appear to have immunoregulatory effects on inflammatory cells.

Effective financial management is an important part of life, especially for students who are heading towards financial independence. This study aims to provide an analysis of the influence of educational factors, financial literacy and lifestyle on the financial management of accounting students at the University of 17 August 1945 Surabaya. In this data analysis is carried out by observing the answers to the questionnaires that have been filled out and interviewing a number of students from the accounting study program. Using qualitative methods can gain a comprehensive understanding of how these factors interact and shape students' financial management practices. The results show that accounting education provides a strong theoretical foundation, based on the inclusion of certain research findings, but is not always directly proportional to the daily practice of financial management. Low levels of financial literacy are often a major obstacle, especially when it comes to long-term financial planning. Consumptive lifestyles are also an important factor in students' financial decisions. In addition, the study also found that social factors such as family and peer influence also affect students' financial behavior as well. This research provides a better understanding of the causes that influence college students' financial management. The results of this study can serve as a foundation for developing more relevant and effective financial education programs and provide recommendations for accounting students to better manage their finances. Researchers also hope to contribute to the development of student financial management literature, especially accounting students. The results of this study can also provide references for educational institutions, universities, and other financial institutions to design programs to improve student financial literacy.

Published: January 2025

Social and Environmental Responsibility Accounting (APSL) is increasingly important in the business world along with increasing attention to sustainability issues. This approach involves reporting that not only covers financial aspects, but also the social and environmental impacts caused by company activities. APSL's main goal is to increase transparency, accountability, and encourage responsible business practices towards society and the environment. APSL implementation involves identifying significant social and environmental issues, measuring impacts, and reporting that complies with international standards. Even though regulations related to social and environmental responsibility already exist, challenges in implementing APSL remain, including lack of understanding, high implementation costs, and regulatory inconsistencies between countries. The implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) mechanisms that involve all stakeholders is expected to support the success of APSL and increase the credibility of social and environmental reporting. The company's success in implementing APSL shows that this strategy is not only beneficial for reputation, but also contributes to long-term economic sustainability.

Research on the Effect of Vehicle Obstacle Avoidance Problem Based on Q-learning
Authors: Kou Wentao
Published: January 2025

Machine learning is one of the key topics for researchers. As an important branch of machine learning, reinforcement learning focuses on how agents learn strategies through trial and error in dynamic environments. The introduction of Q-learning was a major contribution to value-function-based methods in reinforcement learning. This passage uses a system of controlling variables for simulation and analysis based on Matlab Robot Playground to conduct research on the influence of parameters in Q-learning under different obstacle conditions and try to find the optimal choice of parameters in different situations. The two most important variables in this study are the learning rate α and the discount factor γ. When the alpha value is higher, the robot's path is simpler, and the learning takes a shorter time. The effect of the size of the gamma value on path planning is not regular. However, it can be found that the bigger the value is, the path choice of the agent will favor experience in the past. This study starts with the surface functions of the Q-learning algorithm and discusses the impact of major variables on the algorithm results, providing a unique approach for in-depth research on Q-learning algorithms.

Gestazioni dis-umane e mostruose nel cinema horror contemporaneo
Authors: Del Guercio Elvira
Published: January 2025

In cinema, the horror genre explores that grey area where balance and stability are lack- ing, especially through the representation of corporeality. This tendency is evident, above all, in so-called gynaehorror, made up of films that feature supernatural gestations and bloody pregnancies, which appeal to an aesthetic taste aimed at disgust and revulsion, as well as female figures coded as doubly vulnerable (Harrington 2016). The aim of this contribution is to identify how the gore and extreme legacy of the aforementioned genre is being recuperated today by films that are classified as gynaehorror in particular, from Julia Ducournau’s Titane (2021) and Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo’s À l'intérieur (2007), which explore the boundaries and spaces of the body in all its ramifications. It will then be traced the link between this mode of representation of the pregnant female body and what feminist theory holds that the body is a structure of dynamic relations that interact in a political and social space (Butler 1999) interrogating and deconstructing, horror as well as feminist science fiction, the same gender dichotomy (Braidotti 2022).
Where Monsters Graze or the Province Fantastic Practices of Dis-Institution
Authors: Rizzi Valentina
Published: January 2025

The contribution aims to explore the theme of disgust within the rejected substrate of the monstrous. While there is a fascination with what we perceive as deformed – be it body, matter, or space – this fascination often struggles to mature into an approach that em- braces the monstrous as a design strategy. This research seeks to frame the disruptive potentials of the monstrous as generative for the broader culture of design, reintroducing value to concepts and practices of dislocation. Starting from an interpretation of the pri- mary monstrous, the mother (Braidotti, 1994), the study intends to offer an overview that spans visual arts and performative theories, relating this density to its spatial application potentials. Through the relationship between perception and imagination, the paper pro- poses openings towards the wild (Metta, 2021), suggesting spatialized methodologies of the monstrous as privileged practices of action in marginal urban contexts, such as the province. By examining cases that address the legitimacy of bodies and their transition, and forms of investigation linking the liminality of territory with that of the individual (Miguel Vila, Fiordilatte, 2021, Padovaland, 2020, Comfrotless 2023; HPO, Provinciale, 2023; basso profilo, CAMPOTTO: accordi di comunità verso un nuovo piano di stazione, 2023 ), the paper investigates the oscillation between rejection and imagination, theoriz- ing monstrous practices as fantastic opportunities to transcend the established spatial con- ditions. The selected works offer a means to consider the transformation of rejected hu- man and territorial bodies into non-institutionalized potential for regeneration. The article works on the ambivalence between the warning of the uncanny and the vision of the transformed contexts, the conception of a space of dissent and grafts. Such viscosities, despite their complexity, retain a potentially generative disorder, not to be suppressed but to be engaged in a discursively implicated practice with the unexpected, bringing human- ity closer to a concept of wild, ever-changing transformation.
Donne-cadavere. La rappresentazione dei corpi femminili tra macabra bellezza e disgusto in Camillo Boito e Igino Ugo Tarchetti
Authors: Pompigna Claudia
Published: January 2025

In the late 19th century, the Scapigliati expressed their reaction to the dominant positivist ideology, which governed the interpretation of reality in the contemporary literature, through the fantastic, the macabre, and the horrific. Science, however, was not excluded from their works; rather, it infiltrated the text, transforming the writer into a sort of anat- omist and the female subjects – described in life or in death – of his narratives into dis- sectible anatomical models, like Venere Medicea by Clemente Susini. Constantly envel- oped in a deathly atmosphere that alters their characteristics, these female bodies evoke impressions in the observing men that oscillate between macabre beauty and disgust, eventually becoming corpses that obsessively haunt the male protagonists’ psyches, also imbuing the settings of the stories with a «maestosa orribilità», as Tarchetti states. Starting from this significant presence in Scapigliatura literature, this article intends to focus particularly on some interesting case studies found in the narratives of Camillo Bo- ito and Igino Ugo Tarchetti. The aim is to explore the forms and functions of this type of representation of the female body within the literary text: “corpse-women”, “skeleton- women”, and “wax-women” wander through the pages of Boito’s Storielle vane (Un corpo and Notte di Natale) and Tarchetti’s works (the novels Fosca and Paolina and the stories Lorenzo Alvati and Bouvard).

Time series forecasting of Texas housing prices: A comparison between the ARIMA and VAR models
Authors: Wu Zhiyu
Published: January 2025

In the last decade, Texas has experienced increasing immigration and tremendous economic growth. The housing market of Texas, benefiting from the state's expansion, has caught the attention of a wide range of investors. An accurate prediction of future housing prices is crucial for investment decisions. The VAR model is a multivariate time series model that reflects how different inner-correlated variables influence each other, and it is widely used in housing price studies. This article will use the VAR model to forecast Texas housing prices for the next decade and compare the results with the forecast from the ARIMA model. Both models show an increasing housing price trend for the next decades, and the VAR model shows a significant correlation between housing prices and household income. Thus, it is reasonable to recommend investments in Texas real estate property. On the other hand, this article also believes that the increasing housing prices could pose challenges for lower-income households and first-time buyers, and the government should develop policies that resolve the affordability issue.

Published: January 2025

While people enjoy the convenience of wireless communication and electronic technology, attention is also on the rise for sustainable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and absorbing materials. However, traditional EMI shielding materials are mainly metal and synthetic polymer materials, which are usually non-degradable and difficult to recycle. So the development of environmentally friendly electromagnetic materials has become crucial. In this paper, the environment-friendly electromagnetic materials are classified into natural materials, renewable and degradable composites, polymer-based nanomaterials, and multifunctional composites. These materials are appreciated for their ability to filter EMI and absorb waves, making them valuable in fields such as 5G communications, aviation, and wearable technology. Furthermore, this study underlines the advantages of green preparation science and technology, which have a significantly lower environmental effect than traditional material preparation techniques. Despite these advancements, substantial challenges remain, including high production costs and a lack of knowledge of the underlying principles that govern material performance. Addressing these issues is critical to increasing material efficiency and economic feasibility. The paper suggests future research directions for establishing scalable, cost-effective production procedures and performing comprehensive studies to improve scientific understanding.
