Published: April 2024

Abstract: Crowd funding enables individuals or businesses to raise funds for their projects, ventures, or caused by tapping into a large pool of contributors. It democratizes access to capital, allowing creators to bypass traditional financial institutions and engage directly with their community or target audience. This method fosters innovation, empowers grassroots movements, and facilitates the realization of diverse ideas that might otherwise struggle to secure funding through conventional channels. Utilizing a rich dataset encompassing funding details, milestones, relationships, and geographical data of various startups, we embark on an in- depth analysis involving data preprocessing, feature engineering, and exploratory data analysis to uncover key success determinants. Employing advanced classifiers like LGBM, XG Boost and gradient Boosting, our model undergoes rigorous training and evaluation, with LGBM emerging as the top performer, achieving an accuracy of 90.48%. The analysis underscores the critical role of funding, and investor presence in forecasting startup success. This research not only equips stakeholders with a powerful predictive tool but also highlights significant features influencing startup outcomes, offering a novel perspective on strategic investment planning. Additionally, we developed an interactive frontend platform to complement our predictive model. Utilizing AngularJS, the platform serves as a gateway for startups to register their ventures, providing realtime access to predictive insights. Through intuitive forms, startups enter essential information such as geographical location, funding received, and sector of operation. Upon submission, the data is processed by our backend, which evaluates it against our machine learning model to predict success rates. This integration empowers startups with immediate insights and facilitates data-driven decision-making among investors, thereby fostering a more dynamic and informed startup ecosystem.
Refleksiv ledelse i praksis: spændinger, muligheder og faldgruber
Authors: Bergmann Rasmus
Published: April 2024

Denne artikel undersøger, hvordan refleksiv ledelse udfolder sig i praksis, og hvordan offentlige ledere selv anskuer det refleksive i deres ledelsespraksis. Formålet med artiklen er at indkredse, hvordan refleksivt ledelsesarbejde i praksis involverer både spændinger, muligheder og faldgruber. Artiklen baserer sig på et etnografisk feltstudie og henter sin teoretiske inspiration i Luhmanns systemteori. Analysen viser, hvordan lederne betragter refleksiv ledelse som en måde at udvide horisonten af muligheder for ny meningsdannelse, og som en måde at udskyde beslutninger og samtidig fremstå involverende og inddragende. På den baggrund diskuterer artiklen, hvordan refleksivitetsmaskineriet risikerer at løbe løbsk i en ustyrlig kompleksitetsforøgelse, hvor de mange beslutningsalternativer fører til handlingslammelse. Artiklen bidrager med ny indsigt i, hvordan refleksiv ledelse i praksis finder sted i et virvar af forskellige inputs, afbrydelser og forhandlinger snarere end i den idealiserede og polerede form, som ledelseslitteraturen lægger op til.

Introduction. Precise electrocardiographic localization of
accessory pathways (AP) can be challenging. Seminal AP localization
studies were limited by complexity of algorithms and sample size.We
aimed to create a non-algorithmic method for AP localization based on
color-coded maps of AP distribution generated by a web-based
application. Methods. APs were categorized into 19
regions/types based on invasive electrophysiologic mapping. Preexcited
QRS complexes were categorized into 6 types based on polarity and
notch/slur. For each QRS type in each lead the distribution of APs was
visualized on a gradient map. The principle of common set was used to
combine the single lead maps to create the distribution map for AP with
any combination of QRS types in several leads. For the validation phase,
a separate cohort of APs was obtained. Results. A total of 804
patients with overt APs were studied. The application used the
exploratory dataset of 552 consecutive APs and the corresponding QRS
complexes to generate AP localization maps for any possible combination
of QRS types in 12 leads. Optimized approach (on average 3 steps) for
evaluation of preexcited ECG was developed. The area of maximum
probability of AP localization was pinpointed by providing the QRS type
for the subsequent leads. The exploratory dataset was validated with the
separate cohort of APs (n = 260); p = 0.23 for difference in AP
distribution. Conclusions. In the largest dataset of APs
to-date, a novel probabilistic and semi-automatic approach to
electrocardiographic localization of APs was highly predictive for
anatomic localization.

In the field of wind turbines, there is growing attention towards.
monitoring key components that are susceptible to high failure rates,
such as gearbox, shafts, bearings, rotor blades, generators, etc. The
usage of vibration sensors on turbine components aid in diagnosing and
preventing breakdowns, ensuring reliable and efficient operation. A
thorough understanding of degradation minimizes opportunity costs,
optimizes maintenance expenses, and enables accurate prediction,
planning, and effective mitigation of failures. In this study, two wind
turbines from the same wind farm were considered for a detailed
investigation of their vibration signature during normal operation. The
vibrations were measured using identical sensors placed in the same
locations (in both turbines) over an extended period, capturing a wide
range of operating conditions. A multitude of methods including time
domain analysis, frequency domain analysis, order analysis, envelope
analysis were utilized to investigate and obtain a comprehensive
understanding of the vibration dataset. These analyses helped identify
the presence and extent of faults and abnormalities in the turbines.
Moreover, the fault frequencies’ peaks derived from envelope analysis
were cross-validated with analytically obtained fault frequencies. This
research involves creating a distinctive degradation index, allowing the
examination of degradation based on vibration behaviour over time. This
effort facilitated the exploration of real-time changes in the
degradation index, aiding in the ongoing assessment of wind turbine
conditions. The analysis reveals multiple fault frequencies and greater
degradation in the second turbine when compared to the first. Another
key emphasis in this study involved the utilization of diverse
autoregressive models, incorporating additional features to forecast the
degradation index for the upcoming 15-day window. The resulting
forecasts provide a clear tracking of degradation, offering advance
notice for operators to implement timely predictive maintenance
measures.
Getting help early: An online mental health self-assessment tool for young people
Authors: Schall Ulrich , Fischer Afra , Smith Oliver J. , Álvarez Paula Gómez , Wolstein Jörg
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Online self-assessment tools are becoming more
and more common and they serve as a screening tool for specific
conditions or assess mental health more broadly. Methods: This
study presents preliminary data from an online self-assessment tool for
young people within the intended age range of 12 to 30 years. It covers
key symptoms of mood and psychotic disorders, as well as risk factors,
such as eating issues, substance use, suicidality, and deliberate
self-harming behaviours. Participants self-assessed their level of
functioning, access to ongoing interventions, and satisfaction with the
help received. Based on the severity of mental health problems and the
level of risk, different recommendation options of how to seek help were
provided with the option to download their assessment as a PDF.
Results: Out of a total of 303, 114 participants within the
intended age range (65.8% female) gave permission to analyse their
data. A high-risk profile was defined by anxiety symptoms, panic
attacks, suicidal ideation, and urges to self-harm. Individuals with
this profile were more likely to report psychosis or depression symptoms
and recreational substance use associated with lower self-assessed
day-to-day functioning. Ongoing treatment and the satisfaction with it
were not determined by the severity of symptoms. Conclusions:
These preliminary results suggest that the online self-assessment tool
effectively reaches the intended young audience, particularly those who
experience some degree of mental health problems. The tool may act as a
motivational step to seeking professional help.
A real-world study of thoracic radiation for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer in the context of immunotherapy
Authors: Gao Yunbin , Zhang Xuyu , Zhao Dawei , Sun Jifeng , Zhang Lixia , Guan Song , Zhao Lujun
Published: April 2024

Objective: It is already established that thoracic radiation therapy
(TRT) enhances the outcomes of patients with extensive-stage small cell
lung cancer (ES-SCLC) after chemotherapy response. This investigation
aimed to elucidate TRT’s impact on ES-SCLC patients during
immunotherapy. Methods: This retrospective research was authorized by
our institute IRB and included histopathology-confirmed ES-SCLC cases
that underwent chemoimmunotherapy with or without TRT as primary
treatment at our hospital between October 2018 to March 2022. With the
help of propensity score matching, the selection bias was minimized. The
research endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall
survival (OS), which were determined via Kaplan-Meier, from first-line
treatment initiation time. Survivals in different cohorts were compared
with the help of a Log-rank test. Furthermore, Cox proportional hazards
regression was applied to examine factors linked with survival. With the
help of subgroup analyses, the influencing factors on TRT were assessed.
Results: This investigation analyzed 172 patients who were followed up
for a median of 20.1 months. The median PFS and OS for patients
receiving TRT were 11.3 and 24.4 months, respectively, while for those
without TRT, the values were 15.9 and 6.6 months (p < 0.001
and p = 0.006, respectively). According to the multivariate Cox
regression assessment, thoracic radiotherapy was an independent
favourable factor for both OS and PFS. Per the subgroup analysis,
patients in all subgroups may have OS beneficial after TRT. Conclusions:
Thoracic radiation therapy may improve PFS and OS in ES-SCLC cases
undergoing chemoimmunotherapy as the primary treatment. Further
investigation by randomized controlled studies is needed for
confirmation.
STRIDE-CH: Sub-Transition Region Identification of Ensemble Coronal Holes
Authors: Landeros Jaime , Kirk Michael S , Arge Charles Nickolos , Boucheron Laura , Zhang Jie , Uritsky Vadim M , Dupertuis Matthew , Grajeda Jeremy
Published: April 2024

Coronal Holes (CH) are large-scale, low-density regions in the solar
atmosphere which may expel high-speed solar wind streams that incite
hazardous, geomagnetic storms. Segmentation of CH boundaries may aid in
validating predictive coronal and solar wind models but has proved
difficult due to similar appearances as filaments and the tendency for
dense coronal plasmas to block underlying CHs in Extreme Ultraviolet
(EUV) imagery. We propose an automated detection algorithm of CHs which
revisits ground-observed, chromospheric He I 10830 Å line imagery and
underlying photospheric magnetograms as drivers to circumvent these
issues and provide a complementary method to the space-observed, coronal
EUV emission-driven methods that have been widely adopted in the
community. Classical computer vision techniques are applied to imbue the
routine with design variables based in radiative and magnetic properties
of CHs, as well as produce an ensemble of boundaries with quantified
intra-algorithm uncertainty. This method is science-enabling towards
future studies of coronal hole formation and variability from a
mid-atmospheric perspective.Abstract content goes here
Developing Hydraulic Conductivity Distributions for Use in Hydrologic Modeling
Authors: Jordan Amy , Anderson Doug S. , Gains-Germain Leslie , Boyle Dylan B , Foster Lauren M , Black Paul
Published: April 2024

We present a methodology that uses pilot and anchor points with
probability distributions for saturated hydraulic conductivity in a
groundwater contaminant transport model. This approach directly links
locations with calibration target data (e.g., water levels and drawdown
at monitoring wells) to the most relevant physical parameter(s) that
drive behavior, in a way that promotes model parsimony. Distributions
for hydraulic conductivity are developed for monitoring well locations
with pumping tests in order to reflect the state of uncertainty in the
local estimates; these locations are called anchor points. Pilot points
are placed between monitoring wells, and because they have more
uncertainty these are generally assigned wider distributions that
reflect plausible hydraulic conductivity values for the geologic
material in which they are located. Scaling issues are considered in the
development of these distributions. Pilot points are not randomly or
uniformly distributed in the domain; rather they are considered
connectors between locations with data (anchor points) and placed
strategically between them. For a given model realization, hydraulic
conductivity values at both pilot and anchor points are sampled from
their respective distributions and all remaining locations are derived
using an interpolation scheme (e.g., kriging). This approach to
hydraulic conductivity assignment honors location-specific data,
geologic heterogeneity, and spatial patterns. Given that inverse
analysis of high-dimensional models tends to be ill-posed and thus
sensitive to initialization of parameters, the distribution development
process plays a critical role in driving the outcome of model
calibration.
Evolution of the Climate Forcing During the Two Years after the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai Eruption

Published: April 2024

We calculate the climate forcing for the two years after the January 15,
2022, Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai (Hunga) eruption. We use satellite
observations of stratospheric aerosols, trace gases and temperatures to
compute the tropopause radiative flux changes relative to climatology.
Overall, the net downward radiative flux decreased compared to
climatology. Although the Hunga stratospheric water vapor anomaly
increases the downward infrared radiative flux, the solar flux reduction
due to Hunga aerosol shroud dominates the net flux over most of the
two-year period. Decreases in temperature produced by the Hunga
stratospheric circulation changes contributes to the decrease in
downward flux; however, the Hunga induced decrease in ozone increases
the net short-wave downward flux creating small sub-tropical net flux
increase in late 2022. Coincident with the aerosols settling out, the
water vapor anomaly disperses, and circulation changes disappear so that
the contrasting forcings all decrease together. By the end of 2023, most
of the Hunga induced radiative forcing changes have disappeared. There
is some disagreement in the satellite stratospheric aerosol optical
depth (SAOD) which we view as a measure of the uncertainty; however,
SAOD uncertainty does not alter our conclusion that, overall, aerosols
dominate the radiative flux changes followed by temperature and ozone.
Earth-directed coronal mass ejection shock sheaths as drivers of minor forbush decreases
Authors: OGUNJOBI Olakunle , Okike Ogbonnaya , Koffa Jude
Published: April 2024

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) directed toward Earth can modulate cosmic
ray fluxes detected on the ground. We provide definitive evidence that
even moderately fast CMEs produce small-scale Forbush decreases (FDs) -
brief ≤ 3% cosmic ray exclusions over a day. Tracking fronted halo CMEs
with coordinated solar imaging and in situ monitoring reveals timing and
efficiency signatures statistically linking intensity drops with
transient shock passages at ejecta fronts. The reductions originate in
weak sheath scattering zones featuring elliptical cross-sections
preferentially oriented edge-on to Earth. Connecting properties of these
subtle effects to remote CME structure and kinematics elucidates inner
heliospheric shock physics below major FDs detection thresholds (CR ≥
3%). This reveals an entirely overlooked category of minor
interplanetary perturbations by common solar eruptions insufficient to
spark major storms.
Large-scale Statistically Meaningful Patterns (LSMPs) associated with precipitation extremes over Northern California
Authors: Srivastava Abhishekh K , Grotjahn Prof. Richard D. , Rhoades Alan M. , Ullrich Paul
Published: April 2024

We analyze the large-scale statistically meaningful patterns (LSMPs),
also called large-scale meteorological patterns, that precede extreme
precipitation (PEx) events over Northern California (NorCal). We find
LSMPs by applying k-means clustering to the two leading principal
components of daily 500hPa geopotential height anomalies persisting two
days before the onset. A statistical significance test based on the
Monte Carlo simulations suggests the existence of a minimum of four
statistically distinguished LSMP clusters. The four LSMP clusters are
characterized as the NW continental negative height anomaly, the
Eastward positive “PNA”, the Westward negative “PNA”, and the
Prominent Alaskan ridge. These four clusters, shown in multiple
atmospheric and oceanic variables, evolve very differently and have
distant links to the Arctic and tropical Pacific regions. Using binary
forecast skill measures and a new copula-based framework for predicting
PEx events, we show that the LSMP indices are useful predictors of
NorCal PEx events, with the moisture-based variables being the best
predictors of PEx events at least six days before the onset, and the
lower atmospheric variables being better than their upper atmospheric
counterparts any day in advance.
The complex 4D multi-segmented rupture of the 2014 Mw 6.2 Northern Nagano Earthquake revealed by high-precision aftershock locations
Authors: Muzellec Titouan , Landro Grazia De , Camanni Giovanni , Adinolfi Guido Maria , Zollo Aldo
Published: April 2024

Neglecting fault segmentation in hazard assessments leads to
underestimated potential hazard. Moreover, integrating the temporal
evolution of fault segments activations in hazard assessment improve
scenario’s reliability. In this view, enhanced seismic catalogs have
potential in revealing previously neglected fault complexities. Past
efforts were restricted to the 2D view analysis without involving the
segment temporal activation. Our work provides a comprehensive approach,
reconstructing 3D fault fine-scale geometry and segments activation
evolution. We analyzed the 2014 Northern Nagano (Japan) (Mw 6.2)
earthquake sequence using high-resolution seismic catalogs. We
automatically detected and located about 2500 events between October and
December 2014. We refined the automatic picks, based on
cross-correlation and hierarchical clustering, and we relocated the
hypocenters with the double-difference in 3D velocity models optimized
for the area. Moreover, we calculated the composite focal mechanisms of
the main clusters, crucial to constrain the 3D geometry of the fault
segments, and rupture directivity that we interpreted jointly with the
seismicity and the fault slip. We found that the multi-segmented fault
system, is comprised of, at least, 9 distinct segments, that ruptured
during 3 successive phases. Different segments exhibit a different
rupture mechanism based on their spatial and temporal occurrence,
influencing seismicity evolution and rupture length. The presented
analysis can be used to improve the reliability of probabilistic hazard
assessment in the high seismic potential area of the Itoigawa-Shizuoka
fault system. The possibility of fault segment interaction and mutual
triggering processes should be considered when drawing reliable seismic
hazard scenarios.
Fault-valve instability: A mechanism for slow slip events
Authors: Ozawa So , Yang Yuyun , Dunham Eric M
Published: April 2024

Geophysical and geological studies provide evidence for cyclic changes
in fault-zone pore fluid pressure that synchronize with or at least
modulate seismic cycles. A hypothesized mechanism for this behavior is
fault valving arising from temporal changes in fault zone permeability.
In our study, we investigate the coupled dynamics of rate and state
friction, along-fault fluid flow, and permeability evolution.
Permeability decreases with time, and increases with slip. Linear
stability analysis shows that steady slip with constant fluid flow along
the fault zone is unstable to perturbations, even for
velocity-strengthening friction with no state evolution, if the
background flow is sufficiently high. We refer to this instability as
the “fault valve instability.’ The propagation speed of the fluid
pressure and slip pulse can be much higher than expected from linear
pressure diffusion, and it scales with permeability enhancement.
Two-dimensional simulations with spatially uniform properties show that
the fault valve instability develops into slow slip events, in the form
of aseismic slip pulses that propagate in the direction of fluid flow.
We also perform earthquake sequence simulations on a megathrust fault,
taking into account depth-dependent frictional and hydrological
properties. The simulations produce quasi-periodic slow slip events from
the fault valve instability below the seismogenic zone, in both
velocity-weakening and velocity-strengthening regions, for a wide range
of effective normal stresses. A separation of slow slip events from the
seismogenic zone, which is observed in some subduction zones, is
reproduced when assuming a fluid sink around the mantle wedge corner.
Revisiting Seismic Energy of Shallow Tremors: Amplifications due to Site and Propagation Path Effects Near the Nankai Trough
Authors: Takemura Shunsuke , Emoto Kentaro , Yabe Suguru
Published: April 2024

We investigated the effects of the propagation path and site
amplification of shallow tremors along the Nankai Trough. Using
far-field S-wave propagation from intraslab earthquake data, the
amplification factors at the DONET stations were 5–40 times against an
inland outcrop rock site. Thick (~5 km) sedimentary
layers with VS of 0.6–2 km/s beneath DONET stations have been confirmed
by seismological studies. To investigate the effects of thick
sedimentary layers, we synthesized seismograms of shallow tremors and
intraslab earthquakes at seafloor stations. The ratios of the maximum
amplitudes from the synthetic intraslab seismograms between models with
and without thick sedimentary layers were 1–2. This means that the
estimated large amplifications are primarily controlled by thin
lower-velocity (< 0.6 km/s) sediments just below the stations.
Conversely, at near-source (≤ 20 km) distances, 1-order amplifications
of seismic energies for a shallow tremor source can occur due to thick
sedimentary layers. Multiple S-wave reflections between the seafloor and
plate interface are contaminated in tremor envelopes; consequently,
seismic energy and duration are overestimated. If a shallow tremor
occurs within underthrust sediments, the overestimation becomes stronger
because of the invalid rigidity assumptions around the source region.
After 1-order corrections of seismic energies of shallow tremors along
the Nankai Trough, the scaled energies of seismic slow earthquakes were
10-10–10-9 irrespective of the region and source depth. Hence, the
physical mechanisms governing seismic slow earthquakes can be the same,
irrespective of the region and source depth.
Regional-scale response of glacier speed to seasonal runoff variations on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska
Authors: Yang Ruitang , Hock Regine , Rounce David , Kang Shichang
Published: April 2024

Subglacial hydrology directly impacts glacier motion, but few studies
have investigated the connections between ice speed and water input on
regional scales. Here, we analyze the correlation of glacier surface
speed and runoff for 77 glaciers ≥3 km2 (~3070 km2) on
the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, within and between seasons from 2015-2019.
Most correlations between monthly/seasonal mean ice speed and cumulative
runoff in preceding months/multi-month periods are significant
(p<0.05), while correlations for the same months or seasons
are generally insignificant or weak indicating seasonally delayed
responses of ice speed to runoff. In almost all cases lower-than-average
monthly/seasonal ice speeds are associated with higher-than-average
runoff in preceding months or multi-month periods. Overall, our results
show that runoff can influence ice speed with considerable (multi-month)
delays.

Published: April 2024

This case asks graduate and undergraduate accounting students to apply the current U.S. GAAP revenue recognition standard (ASC Topic 606) that became effective for public companies in 2018 and nonpublic companies in 2019. Students should grasp the new rules and understand how the nuances of manufacturing contracts (e.g., number of performance obligations, transaction price allocation, shipment options, product customization, and contract cancelation and compensation) can affect the recording and timing (over time or point in time) of revenue recognition. This case also encourages students to independently research the technical aspects of U.S. GAAP regarding the accounting treatment of these contracts.

Published: April 2024

The RabGTPase-activating protein (RabGAP) TBC1D4 (=AS160) represents a key component in the regulation of glucose transport into skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue (WAT) and is therefore crucial during the development of insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes. Increased daily activity has been shown to be associated with improved postprandial hyperglycemia in allele carriers of a loss-of-function variant in the human TBC1D4 gene. Using conventional Tbc1d4-deficient mice (D4KO) fed a high-fat diet (HFD), we show that already a moderate endurance exercise training leads to substantially improved glucose and insulin tolerance and enhanced expression levels of markers for mitochondrial activity and browning in WAT from D4KO animals. Importantly, in vivo and ex vivo analyses of glucose uptake revealed increased glucose clearance in interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) and WAT from trained D4KO mice. Thus, chronic exercise is able to overcome the genetically induced insulin resistance caused by the Tbc1d4-depletion. Gene variants in TBC1D4 may be relevant in future precision medicine as determinants of exercise response.
Gingival Biotype: A Key to Successful Aesthetics–Its Role and Functions–Observation-Based Research
Authors: Sharma Parul , Bawa Shubh Karmanjit Singh , Chauhan Pankaj , Malhotra Divye
Published: April 2024

To achieve primary implant stability and enhance bone-to-implant contact, implant dentistry has seen significant advancements. The emphasis is now on developing an aesthetic restoration that blends in with natural teeth and is long-lasting. Patients now have higher expectations for improved aesthetics due to dental treatment advancements in implant and perioplastic surgery. Planning the best course of action for periodontal and implant therapy involves considering how predictable post-operative outcomes will be. Therefore, a thorough comprehension and examination of the surrounding tissues is required. The long-term success of aesthetic restorations is influenced by a number of variables, including gingival phenotype, gingival tissue architecture, and anterior tooth shape. Therefore, determining the gingival tissue biotype accurately is crucial to developing a suitable treatment strategy and obtaining a predictable aesthetic result. As a result, this study demonstrates how important gingival biotype is to the success of implants.

تلتزم إندونيسيا بالنظام القانوني للقانون المدني. ومع ذلك، في الواقع، فإن بعض اللوائح المطبقة في إندونيسيا مأخوذة من الشريعة الإسلامية والقانون العرفي وهما النظام القانوني للقانون العام. ستناقش هذه الورقة العلاقة بين النظام القانوني للقانون المدني الحالي في إندونيسيا وعلاقته بقانون الشريعة الاقتصادي في إندونيسيا والذي يتأثر بالنظام القانوني للقانون العام. المنهج الدراسة المستخدمة هي منهج قانوني معياري فبينما القانون واللوائح في إندونيسيا كمصدر للدراسة. ونتائج هذه الدراسة هي يبدو أن القانون المدني الحالي في إندونيسيا ليس القانون المدني النقي لأن إندونيسيا أخذت العديد من المصادر. وهو القانون العرفي والشريعة الإسلامية. فمجموعة الأحكام الإسلامية مثالا واضحا لتشريعية القانون الإندونيسي التي أخذت من النظام القانوني للقانون العام، مثل قانون الزواج، والأوقاف وغيرها. هناك العديد من القواعد التي نشأت من الشريعة الإسلامية، على الرغم من أن موقفهم هو فقط كدليل للقضاة في حل مشاكل قانون الأسرة في المنازعات الاقتصادية الشرعية. تنفيذ مجموهة الأحكام الاقتصادية الإلامية (KHES) من خلال PERMA No. رقم 2 لعام 2008 هو دليل على الارتباط القانوني في إندونيسيا بالشريعة الإسلامية وحتى من دول أخرى. وقد تم الحصول على بعض مبادئه من مجلة الأحكام العدلية التي تنفذها كقانون رسمي لدولة العثمانية. ‎‎

Conflicto por el anuncio de una planta de arrabio en Puerto Vilelas, Chaco (2007/2008). Una interpretación de aspectos identitarios referidos al trabajo en la ribera del Paraná a partir de estrategias metodológicas cualitativas
Authors: Piñeyro Nidia , Isler Ronald David
Published: April 2024

Este artículo es parte de una investigación mayor en la que se estudiaron las transformaciones en el territorio de la ribera chaqueña del río Paraná, entre 2005 y 2015. El mapeo de actividades productivas da como resultado la existencia de tres iniciativas del Estado en sus diferentes escalas, con proyectos y emprendimientos que abarcan un polo industrial, polo turístico y polo urbanístico. Nos dedicamos al tratamiento de los efectos que tuvo el lanzamiento del polo industrial, durante los años 2007 y 2008, en una localidad cuyo imaginario colectivo se identifica primordialmente con el río y las fábricas. El objetivo principal es problematizar cómo se manifiesta en este territorio ribereño la tensión entre las nociones de trabajo y empleo. La iniciativa del Estado de recrear el auge industrial de las décadas de los sesenta y setenta, durante esos dos años, introdujo en la población económicamente activa de Vilelas la expectativa de acceder a los beneficios de estabilidad laboral, seguridad social y salario, elementos derivados de una relación de dependencia. Para tratar de comprender cómo se configura este escenario y se desarrollan los procesos, se propuso una investigación de corte cualitativo con un diseño metodológico que combina estrategias de la etnografía y del análisis crítico del discurso.

Published: April 2024

In this work the nickel-based coatings were obtained by electroless catalytic deposition on light-hardened resins dedicated for 3D printing by SLA method. The effect of external magnetic field application on the properties of nickel-based coatings was determined. During metallization, the magnetic field was applied to the sample’s surface with different orientations. Due to the magnetic properties of metallic ions, the influence of the magnetic field on coatings properties is expected. The coatings were analyzed by Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (ED S) the X-Ray diffraction (XRD ) methods, and surface morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The catalytic properties in a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER ) were measured by electrochemical method in 1 M NaOH solution. The best catalytic activity has been observed in the case of the ternary Ni-Fe-P alloy deposited under a parallel magnetic field. The primary outcome of the presented research is to produce elements based on 3D printing from resins, which can then be metallized and used for highly-active materials deposited on complex 3D models. Furthermore, these elements can be used as low-cost, highly-developed sensors and catalysts for various chemical processes.
