Los factores de motivación tienen que ver con el reconocimiento y los logros, la promoción y el crecimiento profesional, o la confianza y la autonomía para realizar su trabajo. La teoría sostiene que el rendimiento de las personas en el trabajo depende del nivel de satisfacción que sientan en su entorno laboral. y la teoría “X”,” Y” de Douglas Mc Gregor, publicada en 1960 que se basa en las aptitudes presentes en los líderes empresariales y la manera en que estas afectan a los seguidores. En esta teoría, se divide al liderazgo en dos estilos, el participativo o "Y" y el autocrático o "X". La teoría X y Y es un planteo que propone dos enfoques extremos sobre la motivación laboral y el nivel de participación.

Engagement in marriage according to the Reusam of Kampung Tanjung Keramat Number 1 of 2018 in the review of maqashid sharia
Authors: Bayla Yasin , Nasir Muhammad
Published: November 2023

This article aims to review the effectiveness of reusam using the maqashid al-syari’ah analysis knife. Engagement in the Indonesian Malay community tradition is a follow-up to a series of proposals (al-khitbah), where both parties, the prospective bride and groom, make promises within a specific time limit until the marriage contract is carried out. The phenomenon that is developing for prospective brides and grooms who are getting engaged, among other things, is that a close relationship has occurred, even as if they were already married, where the intensity of the relationship between the prospective bride and groom is very intimate and pregnancies often occur before marriage. To overcome this problem, the village government and community leaders carried out control by issuing village-level regulations called Reusam. Through Reusam Number 1 of 2018 in Tanjung Keramat Village, the time limit for engagement and marriage has been set to a maximum of 2 months to overcome the engagement’s negative impact.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER PARADOX IN PROJECTS WITH AN OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENT OBJECTIVE IN MINES
Authors: Fourie LJH , van Waveren Corro
Published: November 2023

The execution of operational improvement projects can create new knowledge that can be used to contribute to the success of future projects. A paradox exists, in that new knowledge is seldom transferred to future projects, and so the associated value-adding opportunities are lost. The objectives of this study are to determine whether lessons learned are captured during operational improvement projects, and to identify contextual factors that support or hinder the knowledge transfer processes. Through the use of interviews and subsequent data analysis, the research shows that the transfer of knowledge can be better facilitated by addressing the knowledge transfer inhibitors, recognising the value-adding potential of knowledge transfer during the execution of improvement projects, and creating a culture that is conducive to sharing knowledge – in particular, the lessons learned from mistakes and poor management practices.

Authors: Jacobs Jacobus , Nel Stephan
Published: November 2023

A prominent application area in the domain of computer vision is human activity recognition, which involves automatically detecting people’s actions from video footage. In this paper, a generic decision support tool capable of performing human activity recognition by employing computer vision is developed. The objective of the decision support tool is to facilitate the analysis of video footage by learning to identify human activities from video footage. The decision support tool facilitates the processing of raw data, the training of a computer vision model in respect of the processed data, and the deployment of the trained computer vision model in respect of unseen video footage. This paper details a computerised implementation of the decision support tool in respect of a benchmark data set and real-world data set involving the cash replenishment process of a South African bank.
Why Can’t I just use Dropbox? A comparison of cloud file storage platforms used for research
Authors: Magle Tobin , McCaffrey Deb
Published: November 2023

Objective: Many researchers use cloud file storage platforms such as Box and Google Drive as the sole data management platform for all of their research data throughout the course of their projects. Researchers have lost access to their preferred platforms due to changes in licensing agreements and cost to their institutions, leaving researchers to figure out a new system on their own. This paper describes differences between these platforms that affect research data workflows. Methods: We selected four commonly used cloud file storage vendors (Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft SharePoint/OneDrive) to assess. The authors read public user documentation for the platforms and identified several differences, such as maximum file size, that could affect research data workflows. For each difference, we recorded the specifics of each platform then narrowed the scope to features that vary across the platforms. Results: We identified three areas where cloud platforms differed in ways that affect data management: data stewardship, storage capacity, and file organization. Data stewardship is affected by variations in the platforms’ approaches to individual vs. group ownership of files and how user roles are defined and assigned. The platforms also differ in limits on total capacity, individual file size, total number of files, and the amount of data that can be moved in and out of the platform. Some of these limits vary by access method (e.g. API vs web interfaces). Finally many differences affect how data can be organized, such as number of files per folder, synchronization, and file sharing restrictions. Conclusions: Some research data workflows may be negatively affected by moving between cloud file storage platforms. Researchers will need assistance identifying differences between the platforms and modifying disrupted data workflows.

Insulin resistance (IR) is a complex metabolic disorder that underlies several human diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Despite extensive research, the precise mechanisms underlying IR development remain poorly understood. Here, we provide new insights into the mechanistic connections between cellular alterations associated with IR, including increased ceramides, deficiency of coenzyme Q (CoQ), mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress. We demonstrate that elevated levels of ceramide in the mitochondria of skeletal muscle cells results in CoQ depletion and loss of mitochondrial respiratory chain components, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and IR. Further, decreasing mitochondrial ceramide levels in vitro and in animal models (under chow and high fat diet) increased CoQ levels and was protective against IR. CoQ supplementation also rescued ceramide-associated IR. Examination of the mitochondrial proteome from human muscle biopsies revealed a strong correlation between the respirasome system and mitochondrial ceramide as key determinants of insulin sensitivity. Our findings highlight the mitochondrial Ceramide-CoQ-respiratory chain nexus as a potential foundation of an IR pathway that may also play a critical role in other conditions associated with ceramide accumulation and mitochondrial dysfunction, such as heart failure, cancer, and aging. These insights may have important clinical implications for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of IR and related metabolic disorders.

Authors: Iqbal Javed , Jibran Haris , Al-Shamayleh Ahmad Sami , Abbas Fakhar , Akhunzada Adnan , Alharthi Salman Z. , Gani Abdullah
Published: November 2023

Background

Software process improvement (SPI) is an indispensable phenomenon in the evolution of a software development company that adopts global software development (GSD) or in-house development. Several software development companies do not only adhere to in-house development but also go for the GSD paradigm. Both development approaches are of paramount significance because of their respective advantages. Many studies have been conducted to find the SPI success factors in the case of companies that opt for in-house development. Still, less attention has been paid to the SPI success factors in the case of the GSD environment for large-scale software companies. Factors that contribute to the SPI success of small as well as medium-sized companies have been identified, but large-scale companies have still been overlooked. The research aims to identify the success factors of SPI for both development approaches (GSD and in-house) in the case of large-scale software companies.

Methods

Two systematic literature reviews have been performed. An industrial survey has been conducted to detect additional SPI success factors for both development environments. In the subsequent step, a comparison has been made to find similar SPI success factors in both development environments. Lastly, another industrial survey is conducted to compare the common SPI success factors of GSD and in-house software development, in the case of large-scale companies, to divulge which SPI success factor carries more value in which development environment. For this reason, parametric (Pearson correlation) and non-parametric (Kendall’s Tau correlation and the Spearman correlation) tests have been performed.

Results

The 17 common SPI factors have been identified. The pinpointed common success factors expedite and contribute to SPI in both environments in the case of large-scale companies.
Factors affecting the relative abundance in an overfished stock: red grouper (Epinephelus morio) in the Southeastern Gulf of Mexico
Authors: Oribe-Pérez Iván , Velázquez-Abunader Iván , Monroy-García Carmen
Published: November 2023

The most important fisheries are recording catches below their historical averages despite increased effort. This level of overfishing is worrying and requires the establishment of feasible and precise measures to prevent a continuing decrease in biomass. Determining the factors that lead to changes in the abundance and distribution of overfished resources would allow us to identify the strengths and weaknesses of management schemes; this approach would also make it possible to estimate more accurate parameters for their evaluation. We hypothesize that environmental, temporal, spatial, and operational components contribute to the variation in the relative abundance. Thus, we analyzed the red grouper fishery, the most important demersal fishery in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico (SGM); it is locally known as escama. We employed the catch per unit effort (CPUE) as an index of relative abundance recorded by the semi-industrial fleet (kilogram per effective fishing day) and the small-scale fleet (kilogram per effective fishing hour) during the overexploitation phase (from 1996 to 2019). We fitted several variables of the components using generalized additive models (GAM) and used multi-model inference to determine the best GAM for each fleet. For both fleets, the operational and temporal components (fishing gear and year) have had a greater impact on the distribution and abundance of red grouper in the SGM than the spatial and environmental components (the place of origin and sea surface temperature). These findings encourage the exploration of métier schemes for more efficient fishery management. In addition, we have identified several strategies that would support the recovery of the resource, such as restricting fishing in the quadrants located to the northeast or regulating scuba diving. We recommend that in the future, researchers use the indices we have generated in the present study to evaluate the red grouper fishery.

El estudio correlacional buscÃ³ establecer la relaciÃ³n de la satisfacciÃ³n vital y la felicidad con la autoestima, la extraversiÃ³n, la autorrealizaciÃ³n y el resentimiento, identificando si estas Ãºltimas podÃ­an predecir el bienestar y comparar su impacto en este, con el impacto de las variables sociodemogrÃ¡ficas. La muestra, no probabilÃ­stica por conveniencia, estuvo constituida por 392 estudiantes, hombres y mujeres (16 a 49 aÃ±os), de la Universidad del Valle, sede Palmira. Los resultados mostraron que todas las variables psicolÃ³gicas se relacionaron con los componentes del bienestar. Excepto la extraversiÃ³n, las demÃ¡s variables predijeron la satisfacciÃ³n vital. Las cuatro variables (autoestima, extraversiÃ³n, autorrealizaciÃ³n y resentimiento) predijeron la felicidad. Las variables psicolÃ³gicas, y especialmente aquellas que se nutren de logros, explicaron mucho mejor la varianza del bienestar que las sociodemogrÃ¡ficas. Las principales conclusiones fueron: (a) Las personas construyen un modo bÃ¡sico y estable de relacionarse con la vida, que aporta mÃ¡s al bienestar que los factores situacionales y sociodemogrÃ¡ficos; (b) el bienestar subjetivo depende de diversos factores, por lo que deberÃ­an estudiarse otras relaciones del bienestar mÃ¡s allÃ¡ de las tradicionales (autoestima, los cinco grandes).

Se evaluÃ³ de forma individual a 44 estudiantes universitarios pertenecientes a la Universidad Nacional del Sur de Argentina, por medio de un muestreo incidental. se realizÃ³ un anÃ¡lisis comparativo entre el desempeÃ±o en los 3 primeros minutos y el final de la prueba, asÃ­ como una evaluaciÃ³n de los Ã­tems agrupados por bloques. Los resultados encontrados con el primer anÃ¡lisis sustentan la hipÃ³tesis de que los sujetos que necesitan mayor informaciÃ³n para resolver el test realizan mÃ¡s fijaciones, en lugar de hacer fijaciones mÃ¡s largas, y esta estrategia se mantiene constante a lo largo de toda la tarea. El segundo anÃ¡lisis mostrÃ³ un incremento en los valores medios de tiempos de resoluciÃ³n de cada Ã­tem a medida que se avanza con la resoluciÃ³n del test, lo cual, combinado con un incremento en la dispersiÃ³n hacia valores mayores de esta caracterÃ­stica, puede ser un indicativo de fatiga atencional. Estos hallazgos evidencian que el uso del ET en la aplicaciÃ³n del test aporta informaciÃ³n complementaria que podrÃ­a potenciar las capacidades de evaluaciÃ³n del mismo.

For some years now, the construction industry has been looking to improve productivity levels, reduce time and avoid cost overruns of the projects they perform; and has found a solution in BIM. In Mexico, the lack of national standards for the use of BIM makes it difficult to reach its potential. This research located different national strategies for BIM implementation world-wide; which were analyzed through a comparative analysis of qualitative content, in order to identify the various actions, and regulations that these countries have used to homogenize this implementation. The research concluded that the public and private sectors must create the con-ditions to promote implementing BIM, by creating criteria and standards related to the man-agement and delivery of the information in the projects, to successfully take advantage of this approach. The results will serve as support for the creation of a reference framework to imple-ment BIM in Mexico

This study was necessary because in Peru the application of resources such as artificial intelligence in the optimization of treatment doses in soil stabilization is not promoted. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the influence of the application of an artificial intelligence model on the optimization of the dosage of natural hydraulic lime, plastic and metallic fibers on the geological characteristics of a gravelly clay soil. The dosages of stabilizers and laboratory tests were used as input variables (predictors) and the values of mechanical tests as output variable. As main conclusions, an interesting application in terms of additive optimization was demonstrated in comparison with experimental results in the field. The model suggests a reduction of predominant materials, such as lime, to obtain acceptable results based on actual test results. The implications of including artificial intelligence, achieves substantial strength maintenance superior to the natural sample of 6 times, respectively, with an optimization of 4% natural lime, 2.25% plastic fiber, 10% metallic fiber and 83.75% natural soil. It is concluded that the influence of applying the artificial K-OPLS model on the real experimental dosages, implies in the reduction of lime up to 50% less, and the increase of plastic fiber in 0.75% more, the metallic fiber maintains its real dosage and the natural soil varies slightly.
Análisis bioinformático y modelación matemática de un consorcio microbiano infantil bajo el consumo de oligosacáridos de leche materna

La microbiota intestinal infantil desempeña un papel crucial en la salud y el desarrollo durante la primera infancia. La colonización temprana por bacterias beneficiosas en el tracto gastrointestinal contribuye a la maduración del sistema inmunológico, la digestión eficiente de nutrientes y la prevención de trastornos metabólicos. La alimentación con leche materna durante los primeros 6 meses de vida proporciona al infante nutrientes esenciales y azúcares complejos como los oligosacáridos de leche materna (HMOs), que actúan como prebióticos selectivos para microorganismos beneficiosos. El género Bifidobacterium se destaca por ser uno de los principales grupos capaces de degradar HMOs y representa más del 70% de la comunidad microbiana intestinal durante la lactancia. Dentro del intestino del infante existe una comunidad bacteriana compleja, lo que plantea la interrogante de cómo se desarrollan las relaciones ecológicas entre estos microorganismos. Este estudio se centró en caracterizar las interacciones clave entre las especies que componen un consorcio microbiano artificial, formado por siete bacterias relevantes de la microbiota infantil. Utilizando la metodología leave-one-out para cultivos in vitro de la comunidad propuesta, cultivados en lactosa y HMOs representativos, se llevaron a cabo análisis multivariables y análisis metatranscriptómicos. Además, se desarrolló un modelo matemático que permitió determinar la dinámica de degradación y consumo de azúcares complejos a nivel de comunidad. Se observó una dominación por parte de Bifidobacterium bifidum, sustentado por análisis funcionales de los consorcios. También, se encontró una disminución significativa en la degradación de HMOs en su ausencia, evidenciable en el modelo matemático planteado. La presencia de Bifidobacterium bifidum redujo significativamente la presencia de Bifidobacterium infantis, lo que evidenció una competencia directa entre estas especies. La eliminación de Escherichia coli del consorcio provocó una activación transcripcional generalizada de las demás especies, lo cual también se observó en los análisis multivariables. Se sugiere que para investigaciones futuras se utilice la metodología de análisis de redes de co-expresión génica ponderada (WGCNA) para identificar correlaciones entre módulos funcionales de genes presentes en los experimentos.
Redes neuronales para extracción de información relevante de sentencias legales

En los últimos anos el Procesamiento de Lenguaje Natural, desde ahora PLN, ha utilizado técnicas de Aprendizaje Automático para representar fragmentos de texto. La introducción de la arquitectura del Transformer (Vaswani et al., 2017) y posteriormente de BERT (Devlin et al., 2018) junto con su versión más pequeña ALBERT (Lan et al., 2019) revolucionaron el estado del arte en PLN, imponiéndose como estándar para resolver tareas que involucren el modelamiento computacional de lenguaje. Una de estas tareas corresponde a sumarización extractiva, donde el objetivo es crear un resumen de un texto dado seleccionando y extrayendo frases y oraciones clave del documento original. Una de las limitaciones que aparecen con el uso de BERT en este tipo de tareas corresponde al tamaño máximo que tienen los transformers para procesar el texto de entrada, lo que dificulta el trabajo con documentos largos. En este trabajo utilizamos BERT y otros modelos de lenguaje similares para construir un sistema que permita obtener la jurisprudencia de una sentencia legal de la Corte Suprema. Para ello, se propone una arquitectura capaz de encapsular la información en dos niveles: a nivel de bloque de texto y a nivel de documento, para luego realizar una clasificación binaria de cada una de los bloques. Para validar que el modelo propuesto es capaz de resolver la tarea se realizaron pruebas sobre el dataset de documentos legales BillSum (Kornilova & Eidelman, 2019), alcanzando resultados comparables con modelos del estado del arte en términos de ROUGE.
