Las mujeres jóvenes ante la desigualdad digital: posiciones, exposiciones y disposiciones
Authors: Calderón Gómez Daniel
Published: July 2024

Este artículo realiza un análisis sociológico de las desigualdades digitales de la juventud con perspectiva de género, a partir de un modelo teórico centrado en las dimensiones interiorizadas, exteriorizadas y objetivadas del proceso de socialización tecnológica. Mediante una metodología cuantitativa basada en datos secundarios, se estudia la desigualdad estructural que sufren las mujeres jóvenes en entornos digitales. Esta se materializa en la interiorización de disposiciones de indefensión y desconfianza, en experiencias de sobrecarga, dependencia tecnológica y problemas de gestión de la imagen personal en redes, así como en usos que se ven afectadas por formas específicas de violencia (vulneración de la privacidad y acoso sexual) que limitan las posibilidades de participación digital de las mujeres en condiciones de igualdad.

“Si no está penado, no es grave”: el papel socializador de la pena a los prostituidores de mujeres
Authors: Diego Cobo Ana
Published: July 2024

En el marco de la lucha por la erradicación de la violencia contra las mujeres, la prostitución, como escuela y fuente de desigualdad, figura en la agenda feminista como un asunto prioritario. Tras realizar una exploración de la ideología naturalizadora que subyace tras la institución de la prostitución y de los diferentes marcos teórico-legales en su abordaje, el presente artículo tiene por objeto el estudio de su demanda como parte de la socialización masculina. Y, en especial, del papel socializador que, tal como se defiende desde el modelo abolicionista -tradición feminista en la que se inscribe este trabajo-, podría llegar a cumplir la pena a los prostituidores de mujeres.

Authors: Razi Pakhrur ,   Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Negeri Padang, Padang, Indonesia
Published: July 2024

In the learning process, the learning objectives can be achieved if students are actively engaged in the learning activities. The level of student engagement in learning can be observed through their participation in expressing opinions, taking responsibility, and involvement in group learning. Therefore, it is essential to have teaching materials that can make students actively participate, serve as tools in the learning process, and be used as learning resources. One of these tools is the e-student worksheet. However, the e-student worksheets available in schools often focus more on questions and problem-solving without explaining how the answers to those questions are obtained. Hence, there is a need for the development of e-student worksheets aimed at understanding the stages involved in creating problem-based learning-based on the topic of dynamic fluids for grade XI students in high school. This development is intended to determine the suitability of the e-student worksheet for use as teaching material and to assess the students’ response to problem-based learning-based e-student worksheets. This research was conducted at SMA N 1 Lubuk Sikaping, with grade XI students as the research subjects. The research method used is based on the Analysis Design Development Implementation Evaluation (ADDIE) model of development. The instruments used for the research include validation sheets and questionnaires. Based on data analysis, it can be concluded that the quality of the developed e-student worksheet fits within the “valid” category, making it suitable for use with a rating of 0.88 from the experts. The response from teachers showed a 94% acceptance rate, and the response from students showed a 90% acceptance rate, both categorized as “very practical.” Both components received average scores exceeding the acceptable threshold, indicating that the developed e-student worksheet can be used as a reference in fulfilling teaching materials.
Learning Analytics Model for Predictive Analysis of Learners Behavior for an Indigenous MOOC Platform (Tadakhul System) in Oman
Authors: Doss Amala Nirmal ,   Department of Computing, Muscat College, Sultanate of Oman
Published: July 2024

The Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) platforms are widely used by the learner community all over the world. Using MOOC, the learners can choose the course of interest and learn it in their own pace. The main problem encountered in most MOOC based learning is the lack of a learning analytic system that monitors the learners’ interaction with their enrolled courses. This problem leads to incompletion or discontinuation of the course. In this paper, ‘Tadakul’ system, an original bilingual (English and Arabic) MOOC platform is developed for students of higher education institutions of the Sultanate of Oman. Using the Tadakhul system, learners of various higher education institutions of Oman can enroll themselves in various courses of their interest and complete the course at their own pace. This research aims in understanding the impact of learning analytics system used in the Tadakhul system. A novel deep-learning approach used in the system monitors the learning process of the learners based on their interaction with the enrolled courses. The feedback thus obtained, using the deep-learning approach, can be used to improve the student learning experience. To analyze the feedback obtained from the learners, an innovative approach of combining Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) network with a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is proposed. The BiLSTM model performs well in analyzing the sequential data whereas the CNN model is good in extracting the spatial features at each hidden layer that are important for evaluating the student’s learning patterns. Thus the proposed model can identify learner’s learning behavior and learning styles that help teachers better understand the individual needs. The results of the experimental study revealed that the proposed model outperformed conventional machine learning approaches in predicting learner’s learning behavior. Hence, the results obtained by integrating BiLSTM and CNN models on the Tadakhul platform can improve the student experience by making teaching more efficient and effective.

Authors: Rajindran Rishi , Sharma Gaurav , Yadav Vandana , Saini Himani , Lamba Ravi
Published: July 2024

Unnatural deaths, including unintentional and intentional events, require post-mortem examinations to rule out foul play. Women aged 18 to 30 are particularly vulnerable to mental, physical, psychological, and social challenges, including dowry-related deaths and occupational hazards. Unfortunately, female victimization is often underreported and research on the topic is limited.

This study took into account 1564 post-mortem records of cases conducted in 5 years and analysed cases of unnatural deaths in adult females aged over 18 years to understand the gravity of female victimization in the region.

Of the 204 identified cases, poisoning was the leading cause of death, and suicide was the most common manner of death. Accidental deaths were the second most common manner.

: The study highlights the need for policies to address socio-economic and human rights deprivation, domestic violence, and mental health issues that contribute to these deaths. Measures to promote female economic independence and effective prevention and support strategies are necessary to reduce the prevalence of unnatural deaths among women in India.

Russia and Napoleon in Gogol’s «Dead souls»
Authors: Belyaev V.V. ,   Saratov State University
Published: July 2024

The fact that «Dead Souls» belongs to an ancient and medieval epic poem genre about wars and wanderings (including in the other world) is the author’s initial position. Both Chichikov’s adventures and the war theme in its various aspects are immanent parts of the text. Chichikov is the bearer of the foreign, non-Russian frame of mind which interferes with Russian reality, and thus the parallels between Chichikov and Napoleon can be drawn all throughout the poem’s text.

Language Teacher Identity in a Non-Native Context: The case of Teachers of English Language in Ghana
Authors: Anku Joyce
Published: July 2024

The study investigated how English language teachers in Ghana construct their identities as teachers of English as a Second Language (ESL). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ESL teachers who were selected through purposive sampling. The data was analysed qualitatively by coding, identifying, categorising and interpreting the emerging themes.  It was found that the ESL teachers’ identity is defined by three elements: personal attributes, professional attributes, and contextual factors. On the personal level, the identity of the ESL teachers is characterised by passion, diligence, self-efficacy, and sense of inadequacy. Professionally, subject-matter knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and technological knowledge were found. Lastly, key contextual identity defining factors are curriculum and educational policies, classroom conditions and intrinsic motivation from learners’ success stories. The study recommends further investigation into other factors such as gender on non-native ESL teachers identity formation.

Authors: Wojdak Krista , Smith Michelle K. , Orndorf Hayley , Ramirez Marie Louise
Published: July 2024

With the onset of COVID-19, colleges and universities moved to emergency remote teaching, and instructors immediately adjusted their curricula. Many instructors adapted or developed new online lessons that they subsequently published as Open Educational Resources (OERs). While much has been examined related to how entire course designs evolved during this period, the same attention has not been paid to how individual lessons were structured to meet online learners’ needs. As such, we evaluated OER lessons for the integration of universal design for learning (UDL) guidelines and active learning strategies. We evaluated OER lessons published in CourseSource, which is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on biology lessons implemented in undergraduate classrooms and provides the necessary details and supporting materials to replicate the lesson. We found that biology instructors used a variety of UDL guidelines and active learning strategies to encourage student learning and engagement in online teaching environments. This study also provides a collection of OER online lessons that instructors and educational developers can use to inform the practice of engaging biology students.

Authors: Oliveira Raquel Valente de , Zarpellon Mazo Janice
Published: July 2024

Introdução: Atualmente denominado Jogos Escolares do Rio Grande do Sul, o programa JERGS foi implementado no estado na década de 1970, com o objetivo de promover a participação da comunidade escolar sul-rio-grandense em um evento esportivo que contemplasse o maior número de estudantes da rede pública e particular de ensino do Rio Grande do Sul. Após 25 anos desde sua primeira edição, uma expressiva mudança alterou as conformações históricas dos JERGS, quando, em 1996, o evento foi ofertado exclusivamente a estudantes matriculados na rede pública do estado, denominando-se Jogos das Escolas Públicas do Rio Grande do Sul (JEPURS). Objetivo: Compreender que fatores históricos e sociopolíticos contribuíram para a modificação sucedida nas conformações históricas dos JEPURS no ano de 1996, referente ao público escolar contemplado pelo evento. Metodologia: As informações foram coletadas por meio de fontes orais produzidas por entrevistas de História Oral e por fontes documentais. Resultados e Discussão: Evidenciamos que a modificação investigada foi decorrente de movimentos reivindicatórios promovidos por professores(as) de Educação Física que almejavam uma competição escolar exclusiva às escolas da rede pública do estado, tendo em vista algumas desvantagens e discrepâncias que estas possuíam quando comparadas ao ensino privado, tais como instalações físicas, materiais didáticos e condições de trabalho dos(as) professores(as)/treinadores(as).Considerações Finais: Este acontecimento demarcou o início de uma nova fase na história esportiva deste evento escolar sul-rio-grandense.

Published: July 2024

Este estudo discute as relações entre o considerado patrimônio cultural e a comunidade ribeirinha do Teotônio, cuja paisagem foi profundamente alterada pela implantação da hidrelétrica de Santo Antônio no Rio Madeira, causando conflitos sociais. A análise se deu a partir de três projetos que foram executados na comunidade do Teotônio entre os anos de 2009 e 2016, voltados à preservação e à valorização do patrimônio cultural e arqueológico. Dessa forma, esta análise traz elementos da história mais antiga, contada a partir dos estudos arqueológicos, e da realidade dos moradores locais, que dão diferentes significados aos lugares e à paisagem. Entretanto, os autores levantam uma reflexão sobre oquanto esses estudos realizados em comunidades tradicionais, sob a ótica da arqueologia, podem amenizar os impactos causados à memória e à percepção de paisagem dessas populações.

Highlights:1. Given the suboptimal implementation of clinical practice guidelines at Mandau District General Hospital, it is important to conduct research on potential obstacles to this problem.2. The findings of this study can encourage hospitals to develop and apply effective clinical practice guidelines while also addressing the obstacles to their implementation.
 
Abstract
Clinical practice guidelines are procedures followed by physicians to optimize healthcare services and achieve more effective outcomes. Conducted in October 2022, this study aimed to analyze the factors that hinder the implementation of clinical practice guidelines among physicians at Mandau District General Hospital, Bengkalis, Indonesia. This study used an analytical survey design and a cross-sectional approach. This study included all 85 individuals who were employed as general practitioners at the Mandau District General Hospital. The data were subjected to univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. The independent t-test was used in the data analysis, with a value of p<0.05 considered significant. The results showed that there was an association between the implementation of clinical practice guidelines and several variables, including the levels of ability in recognizing and explaining clinical pictures of diseases (p=0.008), diagnosing diseases (p=0.004), carrying out initial management (p=0.000), and carrying out independent and directed management (p=0.001). Upon conducting the follow-up analysis on logistic regression, it was found that the variables that were associated with the implementation of clinical practice guidelines were the ability to carry out initial management (p=0.000, OR=65.512, 95% CI=22.048–98.835). In conclusion, physicians' insufficient ability to perform initial management hinders the implementation of clinical practice guidelines. This study suggests incorporating the findings as input in the evaluation and development of training for physicians on the implementation of clinical practice guidelines.

Abstract
Hormone replacement therapy has adverse effects that may cause additional health problems, such as hot flashes, cancer, ischemic stroke, and death. Phytoestrogen is an alternative ingredient used for hormone replacement therapy with less risk. The Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit plant is widely used as a medicinal ingredient and animal feed. This study aimed to determine the effect of Leucaena leucocephala leaf extract on the uterine weight and estrous cycle of ovariectomized rats. This research used a completely randomized control design, which included two treatment groups (P1 and P2) and two control groups (negative (K-) and positive (K+)) with six replications in each group (n=24). The negative control (K-) was given 2 mL of corn oil, while K+ received 0.1 mg/kg bw of 17β-estradiol. P1 and P2 were administered 250 and 300 mg/kg bw of Leucaena leucocephala leaf extract, respectively. The extract was administered daily by gavage for 30 days. Estrous cycle data were obtained on day 31 by previously collecting vaginal swabs twice a day for 15 days. After the rats were sacrificed under anesthesia using chloroform, they underwent surgery to remove the uterine organs for weight measurement. The data were analyzed for normality and homogeneity using the Shapiro-Wilk and Levene tests. The data distribution were not normal, so the Kruskal Wallis test was used to test the hypothesis. If there was a difference between controls and treatments, the analysis continued with the Mann-Whitney test (p<0.05). The controls and treatments exhibited a significant difference in the length of each phase and overall estrous cycle. The post hoc Duncan test revealed that the highest uterine weight was found in 17β-estradiol treated rat. It was significantly different with both extracts treated rats. Both extract effect on uterine weight were not significantly difference. In conclusion, administering Leucaena leucocephala leaf extract results in an increased uterine weight and a normal estrous cycle in ovariectomized rats.

Optimization and Benefit Assessment of Production Supply Chain Networks Using Graph Neural Network Models
Authors: Dong Ting , Samonte Mary Jane C.
Published: July 2024

With the flourishing development of global economy, effective management of production supply chains is crucial for the competitiveness of enterprises. Optimizing supply chain networks can not only improve the efficiency of resource allocation but also enhance market responsiveness and systemic risk resistance. Traditional supply chain network optimization methods, focusing mostly on linear models and static analysis, fall short in addressing the growing complexity and dynamism. The emergence of Graph Neural Network (GNN) models in recent years has offered new opportunities to tackle non-linearity and structural dynamism in supply chain networks. However, existing research still faces methodological limitations in supply chain node relationship mining and benefit assessment. This study introduces an optimization and benefit assessment method for production supply chain networks based on GNNs. Firstly, by developing a node role type-aware graph neural network model, this paper achieves in-depth mining and optimization of node relationships within production supply chain networks. Secondly, a hierarchical factor analysis method is used to comprehensively assess the benefits of the production supply chain. This method can dynamically capture changes in node roles and relationships within the supply chain network, optimize the network structure, and provides a multidimensional, multilevel framework for benefit assessment. This study not only expands the application of GNN in the field of supply chain management but also provides a new analytical tool for the comprehensive assessment of supply chain benefits.

Interim treatment outcomes over 48 weeks were studied in 36 patients receiving bulevirtide monotherapy (30 patients) and in combination with peginterferon alfa (6 patients); 11 of these patients were followed for more than 48 weeks, up to 54–118 weeks (5 and 6 patients, respectively). Results. After 48 weeks of treatment, there was a decrease in the median HDV RNA level from 7.1 log10 to 4.6 log10, with a median reduction of 2.2 log10 ( p < 0.001) (2.1 log10 with monotherapy (p < 0.001), 4.1 log10 with combination therapy), a virologic response rate of 64% (53% and 100%, respectively); and an aviremia rate of 18% (2 patients in each group). The median ALT level decreased from 63.0 to 33.0 U/L, the frequency of detection of normal ALT level increased from 24 to 67% (in the monotherapy group – from 18 to 69%). When treatment was continued for more than 48 weeks (up to 54–118 weeks), maintenance and/or improvement of virologic and biochemical response was observed in the majority of patients. The treatment was characterized by good tolerability, absence of serious adverse events, cases of treatment withdrawal, worsening of liver function indices in cirrhosis. Conclusion. Analysis of interim results of bulevirtide application in real practice demonstrated efficacy, safety and good tolerability of treatment, both in combination therapy and monotherapy, including in compensated liver cirrhosis. Further accumulation of treatment experience is necessary in order to develop an optimal treatment algorithm. Key words: bulevirtide, chronic hepatitis D, combined therapy, cirrhosis, monotherapy

The article is devoted to the study of existing and development of new approaches to the study of the impact of entrepreneurial risks on the sustainable development of an industrial enterprise. It has been proven that the problems of sustainable development not only create real conditions for the emergence of entrepreneurial risks, but they also open up new opportunities for enterprises. A methodological toolkit was created for self-assessment of the level of maturity of the concept of sustainable development developed and implemented at the enterprise, using the provisions of effective monitoring of the level of entrepreneurial risk in five directions, which include management, environment, labor relations, social relations and business environment. It is substantiated that sustainable development is a prediction of possible future challenges of society, that is why knowledge about it should be brought to a wide audience, because action is possible when societies have the right knowledge. The results of a sociological survey of stakeholders of industrial and energy enterprises regarding their relationship to the concept of sustainable development and their contribution to the development of this direction are outlined. It has been determined that organizations of all types and sizes face both internal and external factors and influences that create uncertainty about when and how they will achieve their goals. The impact of this uncertainty on the organization's goals is called "risk," as stated in the relevant documents. The methodology of the continuous process of managing business risks at an industrial enterprise is proposed, its structure and relationships between its individual components are developed and substantiated. It has been proven that the system of business risk management with indicators acts as an important tool for obtaining the necessary commercial information necessary for the effective functioning of the organizational and economic mechanism of business structures.

The choice of preventive measures as one of the ways to ensure the reliability of electrical equipment in areas with a polluted atmosphere is based, first of all, on the experience gained in similar conditions. One of these measures is applying an RTV coating (a cold-curing silicone coating) to the insulation. The article analyzes the latest publications on developments in the direction of applying RTV coating. Summarized information on the use of RTV coating in Ukraine. Recommendations for improving the convenience and productivity of coating in "field conditions" (that is, at active energy facilities) are given, which have been tested on our own experience. Factors inhibiting the application of RTV coating on linear insulation are identified. The effectiveness of using RTV coating in areas with both highly soluble and cement-like contaminants has been proven.

The article examines the features of the fourth industrial revolution (G4). It is noted that the component of this revolution is Industry 4.0 with many technologies to create a single space for information exchange and virtual visualization of processes and objects. It also provides for the formation and implementation of robotic systems and Internet technologies in the format of "smart" enterprises. It is noted that there is an incorrect understanding of the very essence of the digital economy, which significantly hinders the successful implementation of digital transformation. Digital transformation (digitalization) is presented as a process of transition to such a digital business that uses digital technologies to change business processes in the company and provide new opportunities in the direction of obtaining additional income and prospects for its further development. A comparative analysis of individual approaches to the construction of models to identify the most general and priority directions for assessing the digital maturity of an enterprise is given. A conceptual scheme for managing the digital maturity of an enterprise is proposed. It is noted that the strategy serves as the basis of the entire digital transformation and it determines the focus of transformations and the target level of digital maturity of the enterprise. and also makes it possible to estimate resource, labor and financial costs in time and space. The tools for detailing and implementing the strategy are a business model, a road map and a corresponding portfolio of projects, balanced from the standpoint of the implementation of technological and non-technological innovations aimed at the permanent growth of the digital maturity of the enterprise. Updating the business model is one of the most important components of the growth of the digital maturity of the enterprise, which is carried out in the direction of expanding cooperative interactions, using multilateral platforms and creating a business ecosystem. Recommendations on digital transformation of the enterprise and increasing its digital maturity are given, and the stages of this work are substantiated.

This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) presents the evaluation of a rapidly deployable radar and associated software for characterizing surf-zone waves, currents, and bathymetries at the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL), Field Research Facility (FRF), in Duck, North Carolina. This project was conducted at the request of the US Marine Corps (USMC) Warfighting Laboratory. The Version 1 Advanced Tactical Awareness Kit–Radar Expeditionary (ATAK-ER V1) system was deployed 15 times between July and August 2023 to observe a range of wave, water level, and wind conditions that could each affect radar processing. Products from the system were then compared to the FRF’s continuously operating in situ instruments and monthly bathymetric surveys to quantify the accuracy and reliability of the output. A number of issues with the unit are identified, including potential error sources contributing to inaccuracies, but the black-box nature of the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) unit prevents a confident understanding of why wave heights are underpredicted (by 65% on average), why bathymetries consistently have root-mean-square errors (RMSE) over 1 m with progressively greater errors with distance offshore, or why some collections are unable to generate all of the advertised products. This Version 1 COTS unit is not recommended for operational use at this time.
