Published: July 2024

En correspondencia con el nuevo escenario, marcado por el arrecio de la agresividad del gobierno y de los Estados Unidos y un retroceso en las relaciones bilaterales, el trabajo político ideológico debe hacerse con un carácter cada vez más intencionado hombre a hombre, mejor concebido teórica y metodológicamente que permita neutralizar cualquier acción enemiga que pueda contribuir a la transformación de aquellas condiciones que en nuestro entorno más cercano puedan promover el desaliento, la desmovilización y hacia la promoción consumista, deporte cubano, símbolo de los grandes logros de nuestro proceso revolucionario no es ajeno a esta situación, es atacado sistemáticamente; y en los predios universitarios en los que se forman los futuros profesionales se lleva a cabo una fuerte campaña subversiva que ganará terreno en la medida en que encuentre grietas en nuestro empeño formador. La preparación ideológica de la juventud y la exaltación de sus más sublimes valores es una necesidad de la lucha revolucionaria, una de las condiciones indispensables para la victoria. Por ello, con el presente trabajo proponemos un grupo de acciones estratégicas de trabajo educativo y político-ideológico a desarrollar en la Facultad de Cultura Física y Deporte, Universidad de Las Tunas, en función de enfrentar la guerra que se nos hace.Palabras clave: Deporte, jóvenes universitarios, subversión, valores.

Evaluación de la inclusión financiera en el estado de Hidalgo, México: aplicación de un análisis exploratorio de datos espaciales
Authors: González Sierra Juan Antonio , Mendoza Moheno Jessica , Salazar Hernández Blanca Cecilia
Published: July 2024

La inclusión financiera es reconocida como una forma de fomentar el crecimiento y desarrollo económico de una región, por lo que ha aumentado la importancia de medirla. En el contexto mexicano, se carece de estudios que desarrollen un índice de inclusión financiera, así como la utilización de la geoestadística para identificar distribución espacial de la oferta y demanda de la inclusión financiera a nivel municipal. Es debido a esto que el propósito inicial de esta investigación es el de medir la inclusión financiera a nivel municipal en el estado de Hidalgo construyendo dos Índices de Inclusión Financiera, uno enfocado a la oferta (IFo) y otro a la demanda (IFd), es por ello que la investigación tendrá un enfoque cuantitativo de corte deductivo utilizando datos de los años 2016 al 2020 pertenecientes a la Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores y considerando metodología similar a la utilizada por el Programa de Desarrollo de las Naciones Unidas para computar índices. En un segundo momento se realiza un Análisis Exploratorio de Datos Espaciales (AEDE) a través del Índice de Moran e Índice Local de Asociación Espacial (LISA). Los resultados muestran que en el 2016 el IFo tiene el 98.81% de los municipios catalogados como Baja Inclusión Financiera, situación que no ha cambiado para el 2020. En IFd se tiene que en 2016 el 94.05% de los municipios tiene Baja Inclusión Financiera, aumentando este valor a 97.62% en 2020 y denotando una reducción en esta dimensión.  Respecto al AEDE, en IFo e IFd se tiene una autocorrelación espacial positiva y significativa, encontrando a través de LISA que existen agrupaciones estadísticamente significativas de municipios con valores altos, bajos y atípicos, siendo esto relevante para la formulación de políticas regionales ya que se logra identificar y mapear los municipios cuyo entorno favorece o desfavorece la inclusión financiera de oferta y demanda.

Territorialidades y sentidos sobre la escuela
Authors: Arias-Valbuena Diana Carolina , Orrego-Noreña Jhon Fredy , Gamboa-Suárez Audin Aloiso
Published: July 2024

La presente investigación hace parte del macroproyecto “Exploraciones Fenomenológicas sobre la Escuela”, desde el cual se han definido diversas temáticas para adentrarse en el entramado de sentidos del escenario educativo. De manera particular la investigación que acá se presenta buscó “Comprender las territorialidades que se construyen en el escenario escolar, desde los que se le otorgan sentidos a la escuela”. Como ya se indicó el método utilizado es la fenomenología (Van Manen, 2016) desde las narraciones de los trayectos de vida escolar de 8 participantes, quienes desde sus historias de vida acerca de su recorrido por la escuela, construyen distintas miradas alrededor de esta. El análisis se construyó a partir de las tematizaciones de las narrativas en torno al objeto de estudio: (la escuela como territorio) y posteriormente se elabora la descripción profunda de tales temáticas. Así se constató en esta investigación la presencia de territorialidades en la escuela, pues en ella los estudiantes asignaron a espacios escolares diversos significados y valores, los cuales hacen que sean vistos como espacios de disciplina y control o como escenarios de autonomía y libertad, impactando estas visiones, los comportamientos que desarrollan frente a otros estudiantes y demás miembros de la comunidad educativa; en los primeros los alumnos son sosegados y reservados, y en los segundos, las dinámicas y diálogos son mucho más abiertos desarrollando intercambios, construyendo lenguajes y estructuras culturales alrededor de lugares que perciben como propios; territorialidades que inciden a su vez en los sentidos que los alumnos le atribuyen a la escuela.

Published: June 2024

Objective: Academic procrastination is a common issue among students that significantly impacts their academic performance and mental health. This study aims to develop a counseling package based on the lived experiences of middle school girls to reduce academic procrastination. Considering the multifaceted nature of procrastination, this study examines cognitive, behavioral, emotional, relational, and motivational dimensions to create an effective intervention. Methods and Materials: This qualitative study utilized a phenomenological approach to explore the lived experiences of middle school girls with academic procrastination. Participants were purposefully selected from schools in District 5 of Tehran during the 2023-2024 academic year. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step method to extract meaningful statements, formulate their meanings, and identify themes. Results: Data analysis revealed five main dimensions in the students' lived experiences of academic procrastination: cognitive, behavioral, emotional, relational, and motivational. The cognitive dimension includes errors in understanding concepts, perceptions of the difficulty of materials, the ability to focus and pay attention, and personal attitudes and beliefs about education. The behavioral dimension encompasses avoidance behaviors, sleep and rest patterns, leisure activities, use of technology and social networks, learning styles, and academic planning. The emotional dimension involves feelings related to academic pressure, experiences of failure and frustration, motivation and enthusiasm for learning, and levels of academic stress and anxiety. The relational dimension refers to interactions with friends and teachers, family relationships, school culture and classroom environment, and the impact of virtual communications. Finally, the motivational dimension includes academic goals, intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, self-efficacy beliefs, individual and family values, previous experiences of success and failure, and the importance of education in future planning. Conclusion: The developed counseling package consists of 12 sessions addressing each identified dimension. This program includes sessions on behavioral strategies (sleep, time management), cognitive techniques (error correction, focus enhancement), emotion management (stress reduction, motivation increase), and communication skills (effective interaction with peers, teachers, and family). This comprehensive approach is designed to equip students with the necessary skills to effectively combat academic procrastination.

Multi-Criteria Analysis Techniques to Assess the Efficiency of Using Blockchain in Logistics
Authors: Azimov Dilmurod , Stoyanova-Asenova Stanislava , Petrova Mariana , Asenov Anatoliy
Published: June 2024

Introduction. In complex areas of supply chain management and logistics, there is a need to use innovative solutions to improve economic efficiency, which is particularly important in the context of evolving digital technologies. The solution to the supply chain management problem is based on the use of multicriteria analysis methods to assess the efficiency of implementing modern information technologies in purchase procedures, such as blockchain technology, on the flexibility of the supply chain.
Aim and tasks. The study aims to examine the effects of blockchain to the adaptability of supply chains, its transparency, and the trust levels among its participants.
Results. The developed multi-criteria analysis tool provides the ability to specify weighting coefficients individually for each of the evaluated criteria, making it possible to consider a particular company's priorities within the framework of the optimised process. A survey of experts who knew the subject area under study was conducted to obtain the data necessary for analysis. This can provide expert opinions to assess the feasibility of certain alternatives when making decisions. The assessment conducted by experts revealed three main effects of blockchain and smart contracts on business: increasing the reliability of stored information, increasing the integrity of stored information, and integrating various information flows into a single information system.
Conclusions. The developed multi-criteria analysis tool allows for the specification of weighting factors, or “preferences”, for each of the examined criteria. This feature allows for considering a company’s priorities within the context of the process being improved. Blockchain and smart contracts offer key benefits in streamlining logistics procedures, primarily by bolstering the trust and dependability of the data storage system by creating local copies of data for each participant in the chain and improving data quality by integrating data from various sources into a single blockchain platform. In addition, it increases data security and minimises the risk of falsification because of the impossibility of making unauthorised changes to the database (at the current stage of system development) and the high degree of information integrity ensured by its distributed storage.

Authors: Alvin Bob , Husnayain Faiz , Sudiarto Budi , Setiabudy Rudy
Published: July 2024

Indonesia has set a target to reduce emissions by 29% or 835 million tons of CO2 by 2030, which was increased to 32% or 912 million tons of CO2 in 2023. The building sector is one of the largest contributors to emissions in Indonesia. To reduce these emissions, the Indonesian government has issued energy conservation regulations requiring each sector to reduce energy consumption. According to Government Regulation No. 33 of 2023, energy conservation is mandatory for energy users in the building sector who use energy sources equivalent to or greater than 500 Tons of Oil Equivalent. One way to conserve energy is by implementing energy-efficient technologies, without compromising the comfort of building users, which includes thermal and visual comfort as part of indoor environmental quality (IEQ). An energy-efficient technology using the Evolution Mating Algorithm (EMA) is proposed. This study will discuss energy use without compromising building user comfort in tropical countries using the EMA optimization algorithm. The study demonstrates that EMA successfully optimizes energy use without reducing user comfort in tropical countries.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar niveles de asociación entre variables sociodemográficas y dietéticas con complicaciones de pacientes en hemodiálisis. Se aplicó el método de investigación observacional analítica de casos y controles con enfoque cuantitativo. La muestra fue de 113 pacientes, que incluye 55 para casos y 58 para controles. Las variables estudiadas fueron edad, sexo, nivel educativo, residencia, actividad laboral, ingresos económicos, con quien vive y quien cuida de sus tratamientos, el IMC, y las complicaciones presentadas. El método utilizado para el cálculo de asociación de variables fue el ODDS RATIO. En los resultados y conclusiones en 4 factores se encontró significancia estadística y en las variables restantes no se observa significancia estadística por ende la hipótesis nula se acepta, los datos obtenidos de los factores socio demográficos influyen en la generación de complicaciones en pacientes con IRC en hemodiálisis.

Globally, road traffic accidents must be addressed even in an advanced transportation system. However, accident frequency can be reduced by the improvement of a road network and infrastructure. The main objective of this study was to explore the various tendencies and attributes of road traffic accidents (RTAs) frequency and intensity related to weak infrastructure and non-systemized traffic patterns on a second-class inter-district road (Sargodha-Jhang) in the region of central Punjab. Secondary data of RTAs collected from Rescue 1122 for the last 3 years (2021, 2022, and 2023) and used to detect hotspots in the study area. Data analysis was carried out in SPSS 17 software by applying the mode of time and space by the latest Tucky method corresponding to the analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a fitted mean. Accident rates were found to be fatal and statistically significant at a 99% significance level with a p-value (of 0.000). The base map of the road obtained from the Survey of Pakistan published the Road Network Map of Pakistan. A total of 14 locations were pointed out using the Global Positioning System (GPS), and mapping was done in the ArcGIS 10.5 environment using on-screen digitization and geo-referencing. Some conditional and critical attributes like 50% poor road conditions and weak infrastructure, the vacuum of safety measures, the rate of accidents, and total traffic exposure contributed to the frequency and intensity of RTAs.
SURFUCE STRUCTURE DAN DEEP STRUCTURE MAKNA QIRADAH
Authors: Asy'ary Asy'ary
Published: July 2024

This research explores the concepts of deep structure and surface structure in the context of the interpretation of the word “qiradah” based on the analysis of Noam Chomsky's theory on Surah Al-Baqarah 65. Chomsky, a linguistic expert, developed the transformative-generative theory, providing a profound understanding of language. In this theory, Chomsky emphasizes that language consists of the surface structure, which is the visible part of language, and the deep structure, which is the core meaning of language. The author employs a qualitative method, reviewing relevant prior works for this discussion. The aim is to validate the applicability of Noam Chomsky's linguistic theory in understanding language. The study reveals that language indeed has both surface and deep structures, particularly in the interpretation of the word “qiradah” in Surah Al-Baqarah 65. The surface structure signifies the physical transformation into apes that happened to the Children of Israel, while the deep structure or core meaning indicated by the word “qiradah” is the transformation of the heart and behavior resembling apes, not the physical change itself.

Authors: Rizka Husnul
Published: June 2024

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi konsep kepemimpinan gender dalam pemikiran hukum Islam dengan fokus analisis keadilan pada ayat QS. An-Nisa/4:34. Ayat ini sering menjadi rujukan dalam diskusi mengenai peran gender dalam konteks keluarga dan kepemimpinan dalam Islam. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode bibliografi dengan mengkaji berbagai tafsir klasik dan kontemporer dari para sarjana dan cendekiawan Islam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penafsiran QS. An-Nisa/4:34 sangat beragam dan dipengaruhi oleh konteks sejarah dan budaya di mana penafsiran itu dilakukan. Beberapa interpretasi menekankan hierarki gender yang memberikan kepemimpinan kepada laki-laki, sementara interpretasi lainnya menekankan konsep keadilan dan tanggung jawab bersama. Kajian ini menemukan bahwa pemahaman yang lebih inklusif dan kontekstual terhadap ayat tersebut dapat mendukung prinsip keadilan gender dalam hukum Islam. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada literatur tentang kepemimpinan gender dalam Islam dan menawarkan wawasan baru tentang bagaimana prinsip keadilan dapat diterapkan dalam penafsiran teks suci.
AL-QUR'AN INSIGHTS ON WORK ETHICS
Authors: K RATNA. , Haddade Hasyim
Published: June 2024

This article aims to find out the meaning of work ethic and the verses of the Qur'an that describe it, and the relevance of verses about work ethic in increasing the work productivity of Muslims. In Islam, a Muslim is a worker. The deep belief that work is a way to demonstrate good deeds as well as a means of glorification is the basis of the Muslim work ethic. Muslims are also taught to strive for a balance between material success in this world and the afterlife. A Muslim who works to worship Allah must sincerely remember His rights and obey moral laws. It is hoped that the application of religious precepts in everyday life will increase the level of welfare as stated in the Al-Qur'an and Sunnah. A Muslim is taught a strong work ethic so that he can serve Allah and live a better life. Additionally, Muslims must face the free market times and struggle to survive and earn a respectable life based on their extraordinary talents and work ethic. A literature review or literature research methodology was used to write this article. From the results of the discussion, it was discovered that the Qur'an contains many verses about work ethics, one of which requires humans to work to manage the land and improve its welfare. Tauhid has a strong work ethic because he is the main worker. Although the section on work ethics has many benefits in helping Muslims be more productive at work, the reality is very different from what one might think.
