Authors: Dunggio Titin , Mashudi Imam , Darman Darman
Published: December 2024

The Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program, launched by Indonesia’s Ministry of Education and Culture in 2020, aims to foster entrepreneurship among university students to address low post-graduation entrepreneurial engagement. A 2022 Tracer Study at Bina Mandiri University Gorontalo (UBMG), Indonesia, found that only 1.13% of 177 alumni pursued entrepreneurship as a profession. Drawing on this issue, this research explores a strategic model to enhance students’ entrepreneurial interests through the MBKM program at UBMG. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, gathering data from key informants, including university leaders, lecturers, and students, through interviews and document analysis. The findings revealed that despite students showing a high potential for entrepreneurship, key barriers such as limited experience and financial capital persist. The study suggests strategies to overcome these challenges, including strengthening practice-based curricula, providing continuous mentorship, fostering positive entrepreneurial mindsets, and encouraging adaptation to external challenges through partnerships with industries and government support. These strategic measures are expected to significantly improve students' entrepreneurial engagement at UBMG.

6 Şubat 2023’te art arda gerçekleşen Kahramanmaraş merkezli 7.7 ve 7.6 şiddetindeki depremler Güneydoğu Anadolu bölgesindeki on ili (Kahramanmaraş, Hatay, Adıyaman, Şanlıurfa, Gaziantep, Adana, Osmaniye, Kilis, Diyarbakır, Malatya) kapsayan geniş bir alanda büyük yıkımlara neden olmuştur. Yaşanan depremlerle resmi kayıtlara göre 50 binden fazla kişi hayatını kaybetmiştir. Bununla birlikte insanlık tarihi boyunca köklü uygarlıklara ve çeşitli kültürlere ev sahipliği yapan bölgenin önemli kültür varlıkları depremin yıkıcı etkisinden kaçamamıştır.
İnsan hayatının her şeyden önce geldiği bilinciyle “afet bölgesi” olarak andığımız bu coğrafyada, somut ve somut olmayan kültür varlıklarını kurtarmak, onarmak ve yeniden ayağa kaldırmak kültürel mirasın sonraki nesillere akrarılması açısından büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu iradeyle Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı tarafından Deprem Enkaz Arkeoloji Kazı Çalışmaları başlatılarak Şanlıurfa ili ve ile bağlı ilçe, köy ve beldelerinde depremde yıkılan ya da hasar gören yapıların kısa vadede mevcut durumlarının belgelenmesi, hasar tespitleri ve bilimsel raporlara dayanarak gerekli onarımlarının yapılması zaruri görülmüştür. Bildirimizde Şanlıurfa Arkeoloji Müzesi Müdürlüğü Başkanlığı ve Harran Üniversitesi Arkeoloji Bölümü öğretim üyesi Prof. Dr. Mehmet Önal’ın bilimsel sorumluluğunda Şanlıurfa’da depremden zarar gören, yıkılan ve enkaza dönüşen tescilli yapılardan, öncelikle can güvenliği riski bulunmayan taşınmaz kültür varlıklarında yapılan çalışmalar açıklanmıştır. Bu yapılar Şanlıurfa ili, Eyyubiye ilçesinde bulunan Şanlıurfa Ulu Cami ve Dabakhane Cami; Haliliye ilçesi Germuş Köyü’nde bulunan Germuş Kilisesi; Harran ilçesindeki Harran Ulu Cami; Birecik ilçesindeki Birecik Ulu Cami ve Halfeti ilçesinde bulunan Halfeti Ulu Cami olarak belirlenmiştir.
Deprem sonucunda ulaşılabilir hale gelen çeşitli yapısal katmanların belgelenmesi, koruma süreçlerinin başlatılması açısından oldukça önemlidir. Çalışmaların birinci önceliği, elimizdeki kültür molozunun, farklı bir ifadeyle tarihi, kültürel ve sanatsal değeri bulunan mimari parçaların veya taşınır-taşınmaz her türden diğer eserlerin korunması ve mevcut durumlarının tespit edilmesidir. İkinci önceliği, kayıt altına alınan eserlerin afet sonrası yeniden onarılması ve kullanılması için gerekli her türlü bilimsel verinin ortak bir alanda toplanarak değerlendirilmesidir. Bu bağlamda deprem sonrası ihtiyaç analizleri yapılarak eserlerde oluşan yıkıntıların bilimsel yöntemlerle molozlardan ayrıştırılması, kayıt altına alınması, tasnifi, temizlik işlerinin tamamlanması ve koruma süreçlerinin başlatılması için çalışmalar yapılmıştır.

Examining the Impact of Teacher’s Training Programs on the Role of Teachers in the Implementation and Development of Curriculum
Authors: Asim Faiqa
Published: December 2024

Teachers’ training programs are widely recognized as essential for professional development and growth. This study aimed to explore how these programs affect teachers' ability to implement the curriculum effectively. A key focus was observing teachers' attitudes toward curriculum implementation following their training. The study assesses the quality of training programs designed to equip teachers as skilled curriculum developers and evaluates how effectively these programs support teachers in planning, designing, and implementing the curriculum. Using a quantitative approach with a close-ended questionnaire, data were gathered from 250 teachers and school leaders selected through purposive sampling. The findings suggest that while teacher training programs prepare educators for traditional teaching methods, they fall short in developing teachers as curriculum designers. Moreover, the study shows that teachers are not fully involved in all stages of curriculum planning and development. The insights from this research may be valuable for those interested in curriculum development and could guide policymakers in designing training programs that include relevant content and practical experience, enabling teachers to become proficient curriculum designers.

Authors: Guo Rui , Jantharajit Nirat , Thongpanit Phichittra
Published: December 2024

One of the main goals of academic institutions is to develop students' analytical and critical thinking abilities; however, traditional teaching modes do not provide the desired result. A study carried out recently suggested that integrating reflective and collaborative activities not only increases, but also activates these abilities. Such research, focusing on joint applications of these two methods, is still in its infancy. This research tries to fill this gap by exploring the effect of a blended instructional approach on the learning of medical students in Yunnan Medical Health College. For over 20 class sessions, the experimental group consisted of students working together on project for which they later had to reflect, while those in the control group were taught using traditional methods. Control and experimental groups showed remarkable growth in analytical and critical thinking skills, with the pre- and post-test data statistically significant. These findings prove that reflective and cooperative teaching methods offer consistent quality improvement tools; these findings have important implications for the improvement of undergraduate courses in higher education. The research presents supporting information based on which using better teaching methods which aim at the enhancement of cognitive skills should be implemented.
From Classroom to Career: Enhancing Vocational Education through Collaborative and Active learning
Authors: Li Ruijuan , Srikhao Sarit , Jantharajit Nirat
Published: December 2024

This study examines the potential of combining Collaborative Learning (CL) and Active Learning (AL) to enhance vocational students' academic performance and self-motivation. CL fosters teamwork, social interaction, and shared responsibility, cultivating communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills essential for modern workplaces. AL promotes autonomy, critical thinking, and deep understanding, transforming students into self-directed learners. Although CAL offers theoretical advantages, its implementation in vocational education faces challenges, including resource limitations and teacher resistance. Limited funding restricts access to resources, and some educators' adherence to traditional pedagogies delays CAL adoption. This study highlights the importance of increased funding, expanded teacher training, modern technology integration, and assessment reform in overcoming these obstacles. By addressing these barriers, CAL can equip vocational education students with the skills and knowledge for lifelong learning and career success.

Published: December 2024

This study investigates the factors affecting the adoption of ERP systems in enhancing employee performance. Interestingly, it integrates the mediating role of Techno-Stressors to understand the negative effect of technology on the employee well-being which ultimately affects the performance of employees. The theoretical framework of this study is majorly based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). TAM is most extensively applied model for the adoption of IT by end users. The data for this was collected from 123 participants in order to test the hypothesis while the hypothesis was checked with the SPSS Amos 23. This study firstly reconfirmed the TAM, stating that the intention to use ERP is driven by Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Perceived Ease of Use (PEoU). Furthermore, findings show a positive link between Intentions to use (IU) ERP systems with Usage of ERP. Additionally, the interesting part is that the study finds Usage of ERP positively impacts Employee performance but when the techno-stressor introduce as a mediator it will not enhance employee performance but instead causes stress to individuals in different forms. These insights underscore the importance of managing techno-stress to optimize ERP outcomes. It is concluded that ERP systems pave the way for substantial performance benefits, so organizations must consider and address the effects techno-stress to fully leverage these systems for sustainable productivity gains.

Published: December 2024

Air quality is important to both human health and the environment. But as modernization is progressing further, the problem of air quality has become more alarming. Using machines in factories, motor vehicles in transportation, and power plants in energy generation are major contributors to air pollution. Most power plants, including thermal power plants that burn coal to produce electricity, emit harmful pollutants into the atmosphere during energy generation. Turkish government encourages the exploitation of coal reserves for electricity generation to lessen the importation of energy sources. Hence, Türkiye relies mainly on coal in its energy production. As of this writing, there are 55 thermal power plants operating in Türkiye. These power plants had an installed capacity of 21 GW at the end of 2019. Among these are the Afşin-Elbistan Thermal Power Plants (AETPPs) located in Kahramanmaraş province. In this study, PM10 and NOx pollutants at Afşin-Elbistan A Power Plant site located in Kahramanmaraş province of Türkiye were simulated using the Gaussian Plume Model in FreeMat software based on real data. The model input data included stack height, mass rate of emission of the pollutant, wind speed and direction, and atmospheric stability class. Dispersion profiles of PM10 and NOx pollutants were generated and the locations of maximum values of concentrations were identified. Results show that during winter, the highest maximum concentration of PM10 and NOx is 4865.79 µg/m3 and 699.7 µg/m3, respectively, with both located at x = 0.60 km in the scenario where 1.3-m/s wind is blowing from East. During summer, the highest maximum concentration of PM10 and NOx is 5380.77 µg/m3 and 767.87 µg/m3, respectively, with both located at x = 0.60 km in the scenario where 1.5-m/s wind is blowing from East-South-East. Furthermore, regions where PM10 and NOx concentrations exceed the national standard limit of 150 µg/m3 and 100 µg/m3, respectively, are always present and have been located in all the scenarios considered.

Authors: Scholte Claire H J , Van de Sande Michiel A J , Van der Wal Robert J P , Broekhuis Demien , Van Langevelde Kirsten , Dorleijn Desirée M J
Published: December 2024

Background and purpose: Despite evolving management strategies for atypical cartilaginous tumors (ACT)—shifting from radical resection to intralesional curettage and “wait-and-scan” approaches—there remains no universal consensus on optimal treatment. We primarily aimed to evaluate disease-specific and progression-free survival following intralesional curettage and adjuvant phenol treatment of ACTs. Secondary aims included assessing surgical complications, the need for additional interventions, and an overview of long-term follow-up.Methods: This retrospective cohort study of 388 ACT patients was conducted at a tertiary referral center from 2000 to 2019. Comprehensive data collection included demographics, tumor characteristics, and follow-up outcomes.Results: Residual disease was observed in 14% (n = 53) of cases, with continued growth on sequential imaging in one-fourth (n = 13 of 53). Postoperative fractures occurred in 10% (n = 37) after a mean of 7 months, and 16% (n = 61) required a second surgery due to pain or joint movement limitations. There was no malignant progression or mortality observed.Conclusion: We found that curettage for ACT is not associated with mortality or malignant progression but does carry risks of complications and residual disease. This raises important questions regarding the necessity of surgical intervention. Further research is needed to refine the treatment approach for ACT.
A Possible Link between Non-Nutritive Sucking Habits and Herniated Dental Follicles: A Case Series
Authors: S Katebzadeh , C Flaitz , CP* Puranik
Published: December 2024

Background: Herniated dental follicle (HeDF) is an uncommon and poorly recognized gingival lesion, often misdiagnosed due
to its subtle clinical presentation.
Case Presentation: This case series presents two unique cases of HeDF in pediatric patients with possible contributing
factors associated with a sustained oral habit. The first case involves a five-year-old male with an asymptomatic pink, raised,
sessile, finger-like projection on the alveolar mucosa of the right maxillary molar region. The second case had similar clinical
findings in a seven-year-old female overlying unerupted maxillary left lateral incisor. Both cases had a positive finding of nonnutritive sucking habit and were treated conservatively with restoration of normal anatomy after tooth eruption within six to
eight months.
Clinical Implication: This case series highlight the importance of recognizing HeDF for conservative management to prevent
unnecessary surgical intervention and to explore whether a non-nutritive sucking habit could be an etiologic factor for HeDF.
Accurate Oil and Gas Production Decline Curve Fit Using Cumulative Production-Production Rate- Time Linearized Form of Arp’s Hyperbolic Decline Equation
Authors: KO Nwankwo
Published: December 2024

Production forecasting is a crucial process in the Oil and Gas Business. Arps decline curves are the most common of these
forecasting tools. The Exponential, Hyperbolic and Harmonic declines originated by J.J. Arps are three main decline profile
types widely used in the industry. Exponential and Harmonic curves are more common because of the ease of fitting production
profiles with them. Exponential and Harmonic, which rarely occur, are special cases the general Arps Decline curve. However,
hyperbolic is the principal Decline curve equation. The difficulty in hyperbolic Decline fitting is in the prediction of the
second decline parameter (Decline exponent). A hyperbolic decline fit of oil and gas production using a linear form has been
demonstrated earlier on, and this worked well except for the estimation of initial production rate which was obtained by data
regression. This paper shows yet another linear form of hyperbolic decline using Cumulative Production, Production Rate
and Time. The novel form was found to be a better representation of the hyperbolic form than even the earlier linear model if
Cumulative productions, production Rate with time data are available. This model will improve remaining reserves estimation,
production rate forecasting and cumulative production trending. It should be noted, at this point, that the linear form presented
here only replicates the exact Arp’s hyperbolic Decline form but cannot account for the decline pattern exhibited by wells due
to drastic changes in reservoir fluid or rock properties like Gas-oil-ratio, water cut, porosity, permeability and changes caused
by introduction of Artificial Lift or enhanced recovery scheme. The explicit determination of Initial Production Rate, Decline
Exponent and Decline Constant using this derived linear form, in this paper, is the strength of this method over and above
other methods.

PENGEMBANGAN METODE PERINGATAN DINI SERANGAN NEMATODA PADA GUAVA KRISTAL: KORELASI PERFORMA TANAMAN DENGAN KERUSKAN AKAR DAN POPULASI NEMATODA
Authors: Swibawa I Gede
Published: December 2024

Plant parasitic nematodes infestation was once a constraint for guava crystal cultivation at PT GGP Lampung. The nematode infestation not only reduced crops production but also shortened the period of guava crystal production. Routine monitoring to assess crop damage and the population of plant parasitic nematodes should avoid disrupting the root zone of guava crystal crops. The purposed of this research was to study correlation between above-ground crop performance and plant parasitic nematodes infestation status. Observation were conducted on guava crystal crops ± 4.5 years old that experienced severe infestation by plant parasitic nematodes located in block 108 D PG 2 and were scheduled for removal.  The observed variables included above-ground crop performance, root damage, and plant parasitic nematode population. Crop performance was evaluated based on productive plant shoots, main trunk circumference, primary branch circumference, leaf color, and leaf indices. Root observations were performed by removing plants using heavy excavation equipment. Spearman’s correlation analyzes at α = 0.5 was applied to demonstrate correlations among variables. The results indicated that the crop performance, productive plant shoot, and primary branch circumference showed a negative correlation with root damage. Therefore, crops performance variables can be developed to indicate the plant parasitic nematodes infestation status in guava crystal cultivation. The study still needs to be extended to include observations of other relevant variable.

Authors: Yosilia Rani , Afandi Auliana , Hoya Ade Lenty , Cahyani Christy Nur , Hieno Ayaka
Published: December 2024

Phylogenetic study of Phytophthora palmivora species utilizing nucleotide sequences of rDNA ITS and genes was conducted to evaluate the cladistics and evolution of kinship among P. palmivora species in order to support genetic diversity and linkages and also compare with sequences of mitochondrial COX1. The analysis included 61 nucleotide sequences of P. palmivora rDNA ITS and one outgroup as well as 56 nucleotides sequences of COX1 retrieved from the NCBI GeneBank, which were aligned and trimmed using MEGA 11 software. The Kimura-2 parameter model and Maximum-Likelihood approach were used to create a monophyletic tree with four major clades. The percentage of GC content in DNA sequences was less than 50%, influencing genetic diversity and adaptation throughout evolutionary time periods. Temperature, humidity, rainfall, soil moisture, and seasonal fluctuations all work together to generate optimal climatic and weather conditions for the establishment and development of Phytophthora palmivora in tropical climates.

Published: December 2024

The purpose of this article is to explore the complexities of genetic technologies by employing a multi-dimensional analysis of these technologies. This type of analysis has been based on the assumption that genetic technologies include specific techniques and procedures, and the whole process of building genetic knowledge and the mode of work which accompanies the development of specific genetic techniques. In the latter part of the article, the need for a gender-sensitive genetics is put forward, while some unintended consequences of genetic technologies with special reference to genetic screening of pregnant women are discussed. The central strand of thought, informing the development of the ideas presented in this paper is that any advancement within the new genetics should have clear and strong links with the field of ethics and that these ethics should be a responsible ethics - ethics framed by and through relationships with the other.
Työikäisen väestön kuolleisuuden vaihtelu Suomessa lääneittäin, siviilisäädyittäin ja sosiaaliryhmittäin
Authors: Koskenvuo Markku , Kaprio Jaakko
Published: December 2024

Tautikuolleisuutta ja väkivaltaista kuolleisuutta tutkittiin Suomessa vuosien 1969—1971 kuolintodistuksista laskemalla 25—64-vuotiaiden ikävakioidut kuolleisuusluvut siviilisäädyn, sosiaaliryhmän ja läänin mukaan. Sekä taulikuolleisuuden että väkivaltaiden kuolleisuuden vaihtelu oli sekä miehillä että naisilla suurinta siviilisäädyittäin ja pienintä lääneittäin. Suurin kuolleisuus keskittyi leskiin, eronneisiin ja ammattitaidottomiin työntekijöihin sekä maan itä- ja pohjoisosissa asuviin. Havaittujen kuolleisuuserojen syiden selvittäminen edellyttää seurantatutkimuksia, joissa voidaan selvittää sairauksien riskitekijät ja valikoituminen.

Published: December 2024

Tampereen kaupungin sosiaali- ja terveystoimen käyttämistä päihdehoitolaitoksista tehtiin viisi vuotta sitten tutkimus, johon kuului muun muassa jatkohoito- ja seurantakäytäntöjen selvittäminen (Saarnio ym. 1993). Jatkohoidon taso oli kirjava, vaihdellen miltei olemattomasta vakiintuneeseen järjestelmään. Seurannan osalta tilanne oli erittäin puutteellinen; yksikään laitos ei raportoinut tehneensä seurantoja. Myöhemmin tosin ilmeni, että yhdessä laitoksessa niitä oli tehty (Aho ja Grönholm 1979, Kekki ja Uitto 1974, Ovaska 1992, Pellinen 1982). Tätä artikkelia varten tehdyt kirjallisuushaut osoittivat, ettei tilanne ole muuttunut noista päivistä empiirisen tutkimuksen osalta. Aihepiiriä on jonkin verran pohdittu viimeaikaisessa evaluaatio- ja laatukeskustelussa (Heinonen 1996, Murto 1997).

Published: December 2024

Tutkimuksessa kuvattiin raskauden ehkäisyyn liittyvien palvelujen järjestämistä terveyskeskuksissa sekä naisten mielipiteitä palveluista. Aineistona käytettiin palvelurakenneselvitystä yli 5000 asukkaan kunnista (N=185) sekä kyselyä 18-44 -vuotiaille naisille (N=2189). Analyysissa käytettiin ristiintaulukointia sekä logistista regressiota. Suurin osa (73 %) kunnista järjesti raskauden ehkäisyneuvonnan jossain määrin eriytyneesti ja 27 prosentissa kunnista nämä palvelut kuuluivat kokonaan väestövastuun piiriin. Enemmistö naisista kannatti erillisiä tai äitiysneuvolan yhteydessä toimivia ehkäisyneuvoloita. Naiset, joilla oli väestövastuullisesti toimiva oma lääkäri tai oma hoitaja terveyskeskuksessa, käyttivät muita useammin terveyskeskusten ehkäisyneuvolapalveluita ja muita harvemmin yksityislääkäripalveluita. Useissa kunnissa oltiin siirtymässä aiempaa laaja-alaisempiin väestövastuisiin palveluihin. Kuitenkin vain vähemmistöllä naisista oli kokemusta tällaisista laaja-alaisista palveluista ja enemmistö naisista toivoi ehkäisy- ja äitiysneuvolatoiminnan järjestämistä erillään muista palveluista.
Terveyden edistämisen puhekäytännöt kunnassa
Authors: Perttilä Kerttu
Published: December 2024

Haastattelututkimukseen perustuvassa diskurssianalyyttisessä tarkastelussa selvitetään, miten kunnalliset päätöksentekijät (johtavat viranhaltijat ja luottamushenkilöt) ymmärtävät terveyden edistämisen, miten he puhuvat siitä, millaisia puhekäytäntöjä esiintyy ja millaisia merkityksiä terveyden edistäminen saa kunnallisessa toiminnassa. Päätöksentekijöiden terveyden edistämisen puhe hahmottuu kunnallisen toiminnan eri tasoilta lähteväksi kolmeksi puhekäytännöksi: terveyden mahdollistaminen, palvelujärjestelmien vastuu sekä ammatillinen osaaminen. Kuvatessaan terveyden edistämisen ilmiötä päätöksentekijät rakentavat samalla terveyden edistämisen kunnallista todellisuutta.

Nopea väestönkasvu ja huono taloudellinen kehitys ovat taanneet sen, että Saharan etelapuolisen Afrikan elinolot eivät ole kovin paljon kohentuneet viimeisen vuosikymmenen aikana. Tutkimusaineistot, joissa voidaan selvittää väestön kehitystä ja taloudellisia oloja aina 1930-luvulta lähtien, ovat Afrikan oloissa erityisen tärkeitä. Tämän tyyppistä tutkimustietoa on saatavissa Pohjois-Namibiassa sijaitsevilta Ohangwenan, Omaheken, Omusatin ja Oshanan sekä Okavangon alueilta. Nämä alueet muodostivat ennen Namibian itsenäistymistä (1990) pääpiirteittäin siirtomaakaudella tunnetut Ambomaan ja Kavangen alueet. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kuvata kirkonkirja-aineistojen avulla kuolleisuuden kehitystä Ambomaalla ja Kavangolla sekä selvittää niitä syitä, jotka ovat vaikuttaneet kuolleisuudessa tapahtuneisiin muutoksiin. Tulosten mukaan kuolleisuus on laskenut sekä Ambomaalla että Kavangolla selvästi aina 1950-luvulta lähtien. Yksi tärkeimmistä syistä, miksi kuolleisuus aleni, oli se, että suomalaiset olivat luoneet sekä Ambomaalle että Kavangolle sikäläisiin olosuhteisiin sopivan terveydenhuoltojärjestelmän, joka tavoitti Ambomaalla ainakin 1950-luvulta lähtien lähes kaikki Ambomaalla elävät.
Tarinoita sydäninfarktista ja kuntoutuksesta
Authors: Valkonen Jukka
Published: December 2024

Sydäninfarktista kuntoutuminen edellyttää, että ihminen muuttaa elämäntapansa terveellisiksi! Olisiko kuntoutumista mahdollista nähdä muulla tavoin? Analysoin tutkimuksessani maallikoiden kirjoittamia stereotyyppisiä kertomuksia sydäninfarktiin sairastumisesta ja siitä toipumisesta. Osoittautui, että infarkti ja kuntoutuminen saivat erilaisia merkityksiä sen mukaan, minkälaisen tarinan yhteydessä ne esiintyivät. Sydäninfarktin ja kuntoutumisen merkitykset nimettiin sen mukaan, miten ne heijastivat kysymyksiä vastuusta ja arvoista: elämäntavaksi, taisteluksi, emansipaatioksi, kohtaloksi ja sattumaksi. Kuntoutustyön kokemukseni perusteella totesin, että elämäntapametaforan mukainen tarina on tuttu kuntoutustyössä, ja tässä tarinassa kuntoutujaa pidetään velvollisena ottamaan itse vastuu kuntoutumisestaan ja terveellisten elämäntapojen omaksuminen nähdään arvostettavana päämääränä. Elämäntapa oli kuitenkin vain yksi vaihtoehto antaa merkityksiä kuntoutumiselle.
Sairaalakäytön alueellinen vaihtelu

Published: December 2024

Tutkimuksessa arvioidaan, mitkä tekijät selittävät lyhytaikaisen vuodeosastohoidon käytön aluevaihtelua. Erityisesti tarkastellaan terveyskeskus- ja sairaanhoitopiiritason tekijöiden vaikutusta käytön yhteensä ja viidessä eri sairaudessa. Tiedot vuodeosastohoidosta saatiin vuosien 1989-1993 poistoilmoitusrekisteristä. Menetelmänä oli kaksitasoinen hierarkkinen regressioanalyysi, jossa tasoina olivat terveyskeskuspiiri ja sairaanhoitopiiri. Työkyvyttömyysaste selitti hyvin sairaalakäyttöä. Kun sairastavuus huomioitiin, alueen tulotaso oli käänteisesti yhteydessä sairaalakäyttöön. Työkyvyttömyysasteen ja tulojen lisäksi sairaalakäyttöä selittivät koulutusaste ja muuttoliike. Sairaalakäyttö oli selvästi ryhmittynyt sairaanhoitopiireittäin. Sairaansijojen tai lääkärien määrät eivät selittäneet sairaalakäyttöä. Tulokset viiden yksittäisen sairauden osalta olivat samansuuntaiset kuin kokonaiskäytössä. Käytetty malli selitti huonosti hoitoaikojen vaihtelua. Jatkossa tulisi pyrkiä selvittämään, mitkä sairaala- tai sairaanhoitopiiritason tekijät selittävät sairaalakäytön alue-eroja.

Bu çalışmada günümüzde maden kaynak kestiriminde kullanım yaygınlığı artmaya başlayan derin sinir ağları, destek vektör makineleri ve XGBoost yaklaşımları kullanılarak bir demir yatağında tenör kestirimleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar endüstride yaygın bir şekilde kullanılan Krigleme yöntemi ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışmaların gerçekleştirilebilmesi için öncelikle demir yatağını katı modeli yapılmış ve bu katı modeli temsil eden blok model oluşturulmuştur. Daha sonra girdi olarak bu kompozitlerin X, Y ve Z değerleri kullanılmış çıktı olarak ise tenör değerleri dikkate alınmıştır. Yukarıda değinilen üç makine öğrenmesi yaklaşımı ile modeller ayrı ayrı eğitilmiştir. Yaklaşımların kendine has parametrelerinin tahmininde deneme yanılma yöntemi tercih edilmiştir. Eğitilen modeller ile blok model kestirimleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuçlar makine öğrenme algoritmalarının da yaygın kullanılan Krigleme gibi yumuşatma özelliğinin bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Diğer bir değişle, elde edilen sonuçların standart sapması kompozitlerin standart sapmasından düşüktür. Diğer bir önemli bulgu da makine öğrenme yöntemlerinin veri kümesi dışında bulunan değerleri tahmin edecek şekilde eğitilebileceğidir. Bu durum konumsal tenör kestirimlerinde istenilen bir özellik değildir. Ayrıca eğitilen modeller genel itibari ile kompozitlerin ortalamalarına yakın sonuçlar çıkarsa da Derin Sinir Ağları modeli kompozitlerin ortalamasından ciddi sapma göstermiştir. Bu durum tüm makine öğrenme yaklaşımlarının doğrudan konumsal kestirimde kullanılamayacağını ve elde edilen sonuçların dikkatlice incelenmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir
With regards to the issue of power usurpation current comprehension (constitutional and legal aspect)

It is indicated that an in-depth analysis of the state-building processes of a number of countries, especially the states that arose on the territory of the former Soviet Union, proves that some of them, despite the democratic principles of state and social development declared at the level of national constitutions, show tendencies or even practically implement concrete steps towards usurpation of power. At the same time, we should note that outwardly, state building (the development of the constitutional doctrine and state-building practice of these countries) takes place in general according to the ways of democratic development developed by the international community and within the framework of the provisions of the Basic Law of these countries.
The article examines the legal nature of power usurpation. Attention is drawn to the fact that the crime of illegal seizure of power is increasingly occurring in the world today, especially for the states that emerged on the territory of the former Soviet Union. At the same time, the state development of these countries nominally originates in accordance to the democratic steps acceptable by the international community and within the framework of the prescriptions of their Fundamental Law. This convincingly confirms that the 21st century is characterized by the development of new forms of power usurpation, and on the example of Russia, attention is focused on such forms. It is concluded that the usurpation of power in this country is characterized by the fact that the institution of the president has lost the features of a democratically formed body of state power. The head of the state has concentrated powers oneself, which clearly indicates his attempt to appropriate the other authorities power functions, excess of powers, abuse of power, termination of constitutionally created institutions, bodies and legitimately appointed persons, violation of a whole range of legislation that regulates the status, functions, competence, forms and methods of activity of higher authorities, establishment of strict control and use of other levers of influence on the federation and its subjects authorities activities. This is accompanied by political corruption, the use of various types of bribery for government officials and civil servants, V. Putin’s collusion with representatives of other governmental branches, parliamentary factions, which is disguised as political rivalry. Thus, the multifaceted nature of the usurpation of power in Russia at the constitutional level manifested itself in massive violations of the rights and freedoms of individuals established by the Fundamental Law of the country, transformation of the form of government, political regime, and state system established by the constitution.

Urbanization causes negative changes in the ecological state of the city. One of the significant sources of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere is road transport, without which a modern city cannot develop. To overcome the negative impact on the state of ecology within the boundaries of a modern metropolis, the concept of «Smart City» is used. The development of the use of electric vehicles for transportation in a modern smart city can be defined as a separate component on a par with other factors of smart mobility. The conducted analysis of the competence of bodies in the field of development of the infrastructure of electric mobile transport in the direction allows us to come to the conclusion that the bodies that have the appropriate organizational and economic powers to implement the concept of «Smart City» at the practical level at the national level are the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, President of Ukraine; at the central level - bodies whose activities are directly or indirectly aimed at the development of electric transport, in particular the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, Ukrtransbezpeka, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, The National Council for the Recovery of Ukraine from the Consequences of the War, and at the local level - state administrations, local self-government bodies, etc. Electric vehicle charging services in the «Smart City» can be provided by business entities - legal entities or individual entrepreneurs. Such services are not electricity supply, but rather electricity consumption, and therefore no licence is required to provide them. A disadvantage is the absence of a code in the NACE for such economic activities as electric vehicle charging services. Also, the provision of electric vehicle charging services can be carried out by non-management entities, such as condominiums. Other participants in relations in the field of providing electric vehicle charging services are business entities that provide the activities of electric vehicle operators. An important participant in relations for the provision of electric vehicle charging services is the consumer. A promising direction for further research is the disclosure of the legal support for the economic activity of operators of electric vehicle charging stations.

Phalaenopsis orchid is one of the most popular flowers that have a large share of global flower and plant market due to its attractiveness, color varieties, and medicinal properties. In this study, the morphological (capsule length, full weight of capsule, empty weight of capsule, the weight of seeds in capsule and capsule volume) and phenological (time of pollination symptom, time of capsule swelling, and time of capsule ripening) traits of pollination were evaluated in 5 varieties of Phalaenopsis by the first plant pollination syringe of orchids in 5 types of self-pollination and 20 combinations of cross-pollination during 2019-2023. The results showed that 92% of the total variations were explained by the first 4 components in the analysis of the main components. The first and second components accounted for about 57.5% and 19.6% of the total data. Using cluster analysis results, pollination types were classified into three groups based on pollination factors. Discriminant analysis showed that clustering based on the Euclidean distance criterion was better than other distance criteria and was obtained favorably clustering based on it. Low heritability and genetic improvement were observed for time to petal wilting after pollination (TPS) characteristic. Nottingham × Nottingham pollination has the highest amount of capsule length, weight of seeds per capsule, capsule volume, and fresh weight of capsule. Capsule length had the most phenotypic and genotypic variation coefficient among all of the examined characteristics in 25 pollination types. The results of this study are used to select parents and favorable crosses to produce new varieties and capsules containing seeds.

Published: December 2024

Un número de estudios han señalado una caída del apoyo a la democracia en América Latina. El artículo muestra que el apoyo basado en los valores sociales liberales, que es el que está relacionado con la calidad democrática en el nivel transnacional, ha aumentado en la región. Si bien otros aspectos arrojan un diagnóstico mixto, hay razones para un cauto optimismo. El trabajo examina las limitaciones de los indicadores convencionales de apoyo y utiliza medidas refinadas a partir de las variables y datos de la World Values Survey y el European Values Study para indagar las actitudes populares hacia el sistema democrático en América Latina y la Argentina, su evolución en las últimas décadas y su proyección hacia el futuro, y para compararlas con otras regiones y países del mundo.
Elementos para una profundización del sonido y la escucha en el trabajo cinematográfico
Authors: Celedón Bórquez Gustavo
Published: December 2024

Se elaboran ideas para un aprendizaje del sonido cinematográfico a partir de tres ejes: la incorporación de la escucha, y el análisis y el uso experimental del sonido cinematográfico. El orden no es casual, pues se basa en el desarrollo de la escucha enmarcada en una apertura sensible del quehacer cinematográfico. Sobre esta base, el análisis buscará formas alternativas al plano y la experimentación pondrá a prueba lo que aquí llamamos ideas sonoras. Se concluye una apertura del trabajo cinematográfico como labor de la sensibilidad en su conjunto. Es esta perspectiva la que rige un aprendizaje del sonido en el cine.
Pasaje de cuerpos, refugio de espectros
Authors: Russo Eduardo A.
Published: December 2024

El largometraje documental La terminal (2023) representa un caso emblemático de intensificación del cine como arte de la mirada y la escucha. Filmado en la estación de buses de La Falda, provincia de Córdoba, Argentina, parte de una propuesta inicial propia del documental de observación y de la encuesta filmada para enrarecer estas modalidades, ofreciendo al espectador una plataforma que explora los límites de lo observable, en términos visuales, respecto al relato, la representación e incluso la figuración en la imagen cinematográfica. Y en lo relativo a la escucha, el espectro sonoro, y muy especialmente las voces que puntúan su recorrido, ingresando puntas de narración, proponen una experiencia fronteriza con los desafíos propios del cine experimental, aunque conservando el territorio que le es propio: el de la exploración poética de lo real.
UV Light and Parafilm: Methods for inoculation and quantification with agave mites (Oziella sp.)
Authors: Middleton Eric G. , Spinelli Gerardo
Published: December 2024

Agave mites can be damaging to ornamental agave, yet little research has been conducted on them. Our goal was to validate basic methods for quantifying and inoculating plants with agave mites. We compared white light to using UV light or washing mites off plants to quantify mite and egg abundance. We also tested using UV light to estimate agave mite abundance without magnification. Finally, we quantified the number of mites on symptomatic agave and compared methods for inoculating uninfected plants. Significantly more agave mites and eggs were found and counting took significantly less time using UV light compared to using white light or washing plants. For aloe mites, white light was more effective than UV light. Lesions caused by agave mite feeding damage correlated to the number of agave mites and eggs present. Symptomatic agave had high variation among plants in abundance of mites and eggs. Wrapping inoculated agave in parafilm significantly increased the number of mites and eggs found on plants compared to unwrapped plants and increased inoculation success rate. Overall, using UV light is an effective way to quantify agave mites and eggs, and parafilm-inoculated plants provide a more consistent abundance of agave mites and eggs.

Species used in this study: Oziella sp., Aceria aloinis Keifer, ‘Blue Glow’ agave, Agave attenuata × Agave ocahui, Parry’s agave, Agave parryi Engelm, Aloe haworthioides Baker.
