Authors: Viveros Lopomo Jacqueline
Published: March 2024

Este estudio evaluó la implementación de una secuencia de enseñanza universitaria basada en la modelización de la respuesta nerviosa. Se establecieron cuatro niveles de progresión: conceptual, estructural, funcional y relacional. Estos niveles buscan permitir a los estudiantes comprender la evolución y complejidad de los sistemas nerviosos, y cómo los organismos interactúan de manera integrada con su entorno. La investigación se centró en fomentar la indagación científica como estrategia pedagógica para entender la respuesta nerviosa en estudiantes de Pedagogía en Ciencias con Mención en Biología. Se trabajó con seis estudiantes de didáctica de la biología. Los datos se recolectaron de las actividades enfocadas en la respuesta nerviosa y se analizaron considerando cada etapa del ciclo de enseñanza. Los resultados revelaron que la secuencia propuesta favorece la comprensión del sistema nervioso a través de la indagación. Las conclusiones mostraron mejoras en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes gracias a las actividades realizadas. Aunque se identificaron concepciones erróneas, los estudiantes superaron estas debilidades, alcanzando niveles conceptuales y estructurales. Además, hubo avances en los niveles funcional y relacional, impulsados por el trabajo colaborativo, lo que refuerza la resignificación de su conocimiento sobre la respuesta nerviosa

Del anonimato a héroes: humedales como ecosistemas reductores de riesgo de desastres socionaturales asociadas al cambio climático
Authors: Malhue Campusano Pablo
Published: March 2024

El presente escrito corresponde al diseño, implementación y análisis de una secuencia de enseñanza y aprendizaje (SEA) cuyo objetivo es que las y los estudiantes de 3° años de educación media de un establecimiento técnico profesional de San Antonio, que cursen la asignatura de Ciencias para la Ciudadanía, se apropien de la noción de humedales como ecosistemas que reducen el riesgo de desastres socionaturales asociados al Cambio Climático. Para lo anterior, se  consideró el supuesto de que, las representaciones de las y los adolescentes respecto de los humedales incorporarán nuevas conceptualizaciones asociadas a su rol como reductores de desastres socio-naturales asociadas al Cambio Climático como resultado de la aplicación de la SEA.  Las actividades transitaron desde un foco disciplinar a científico crítico, siendo analizadas desde el enfoque cualitativo etnográfico. Las interpretaciones de las representaciones fueron acompañadas de análisis de textos argumentativos y apuntes de clase (en línea), realizados durante la aplicación de la SEA, que también aportaron en la generación de categorías y códigos emergentes. El análisis de las representaciones de entrada y salida reflejan que las y los estudiantes incorporaron la noción de desastres y cambio climático a los humedales de principalmente manera escrita. Sin embargo, se interpreta que falta un concepción más profundo de los procesos ecológicos involucrados para que sean representados de forma pictográfica, que se entiende  como consecuencia la inexistencia explícita de estos ecosistemas en el currículum. Por lo anterior, se proyecta realizar un trabajo interdisciplinario de la SEA que permita profundizar las concepciones que puedan ser abordables en los humedales y, a la vez, promover el pensamiento científico crítico.

Authors: González Escobar Hugo
Published: March 2024

La estandarización se refiere al proceso de homogeneizar características de un producto para que cumpla con un modelo. En educación científica, en ocasiones los recursos estandarizados, o "Recursos Pedagógicos Cerrados", limitan ciertas particularidades. Sin embargo, existen "Recursos Pedagógicos Abiertos", que permiten al docente adaptar y mejorar continuamente su metodología y recursos. En esta propuesta se presenta un enfoque donde el docente crea sus propios recursos, favoreciendo la inclusividad y participación estudiantil. La metodología consiste en prototipos de bajo costo, ajustables según la interacción entre docente y alumno. Se emplean figuras geométricas coloreadas y preguntas de selección, donde los estudiantes eligen respuestas según colores. Al adaptar continuamente estos recursos, se observa mayor participación estudiantil y agradecimiento por la innovación, además de mejoras en la práctica docente del profesor.

Youth participation in peacebuilding in post-conflict northern Uganda
Authors:   , Awici Charles Churchill
Published: March 2024

The study examined the role of youth in building peaceful, democratic and inclusive societies in postconflict settings. This was in an attempt to rectify a situation in which, in war, youth and children are traditionally viewed as participants, witnesses and victims, but in post-conflict situations, they are left out in peacebuilding process. Using participatory action research, the research draws upon direct voices of youth to understand how youth perceive and relate to peacebuilding processes and outcomes in northern Uganda. Data was collected through review of secondary data, interviews, focus group discussion and observation. The study revealed that about half of the young people in the study had participated in peacebuilding interventions, and valued their participation because they were also victims of conflicts and disputes, and wished to self-discover, improve their self-esteem, and secure the future of their communities. Despite these positive perceptions, the majority of the youth believed that they lacked the space and support to harness their potential to build and sustain peace. The study identifies conflict and structural violence, youth’s acceptance, internalisation and buttressing of the barriers to their participation in peacebuilding, and negative community perceptions and stereotypes of youth as having hindered youth action to positively change their lives. Together, these barriers help to explain why despite significant investment by government and NGOs, many youths fail to translate programmes and policies into long-term benefits for their communities, thus placing Lira District and northern Uganda in general perilously between war and peace. Additionally, the results of the peacebuilding project demonstrated that a youth-led initiative can be effective and a source of hope for peace if it is supported by a network of stakeholders. Therefore, the focus should be to take advantage of the capability and agency of young people to address the root causes of the inadequacy and ineffectiveness of youth participation, and to reflect on peacebuilding actions in order to realize and sustain positive peacebuilding outcomes. Finally, the study makes policy and practice recommendations, poses new questions, and points to possibilities for future work with youth.

Authors:   Udmurt State Agrarian University, Chirkova Ulyana , Korepanova Elena
Published: March 2024

Research is presented on replacing part of the barley malt with flax seeds in the production of beer wort and its effect on physicochemical parameters. The greatest value for the duration of saccharification and filtration was obtained with the addition of 4% fiber flax seeds. The duration of saccharification increased from 5 to 15 minutes, and the duration of filtration from 75 to 180 minutes. When replacing barley malt with 1% fiber flax seeds, the acidity and mass fraction of moisture do not exceed the GOST requirements. The use of fiber flax seeds in the production of beer wort did not affect the transparency of the finished product, but a pleasant nutty smell and mild taste appeared. The production of beer wort, the optimal proportion of flax seeds when replacing barley malt is 1%. Since when it increases to 4%, the acidity and mass fraction of moisture in the wort do not meet the requirements of GOST, this may affect the quality of the finished product and its shelf life. The results obtained must be taken into account in the further development of the non-alcoholic beer recipe. Keywords: FIBER FLAX, BARLEY MALT, BEER WORTH, NON-ALCOHOLIC BEER

Authors: Yang Liting , Chang Ming , Situ Shuping , Wang Weiwen , Wang Xuemei
Published: March 2024

Abstract. The study aims to develop and apply the WRF-uEMEP model to simulate air quality at the city scale, with a focus on Foshan, the city with the highest industrial density. The interaction between atmospheric diffusion and chemical reactions in different regions further complicates the modeling process. Therefore, this study proposes a multi-scale approach to build an urban air quality model with a resolution of 250 meters by integrating different models. The model takes into account the effects of urban structure and takes into account atmospheric diffusion and chemical reactions in different regions. The research process included model development, calibration, and validation using existing air quality data in Foshan. The study shows that the WRF-uEMEP model effectively captures the impact of urban structure on air pollutant processes. The simulation results reveal the spatial and temporal distribution of air pollutants in Foshan, providing valuable insights for urban air quality management.
Characteristics and mechanisms of near-surface negative atmospheric electric field anomalies preceding the 5 September 2022, Ms 6.8 Luding earthquake in China

Published: March 2024

Abstract. A magnitude 6.8 strike-slip earthquake (EQ) struck Luding, Sichuan Province, China, on 5 September 2022, resulting in significant damage to nearby Ganzi Prefecture and the city of Ya'an. In this research, the near-surface atmospheric electric field (AEF) recorded at four sites 15 d before the Luding EQ was analyzed and differentiated, and multisource auxiliary data including precipitation, cloud base height, and low cloud cover were used at the same time. Nine possible seismic AEF anomalies at four sites were obtained preliminarily. Accordingly, microwave brightness temperature (MBT) data, which are very sensitive to the surface dielectrics and are closely related to the air ionization, together with surface soil moisture, lithology, and a 3D-simulated crustal stress field, were jointly analyzed to confirm the seismic relations of the obtained negative AEF anomalies. The geophysical environment for crustal high-stress concentration, positive charge carrier transfer, and surface accumulation was demonstrated to exist and to meet the conditions necessary to generate local negative AEF anomalies. Furthermore, to deal with the spatial disparities in sites and regions with potential atmospheric ionization, near-surface wind field data were employed to scrutinize the reliability of the AEF anomalies by comprehensively analyzing the spatial relationships among surface charges accumulation areas, wind direction and speed, and the AEF sites. Finally, four negative AEF anomalies were deemed to be closely related to the Luding EQ, and the remaining five possible anomalies were ruled out. A possible mechanism of negative AEF anomalies before the Luding EQ is proposed: positive charge carriers were generated from the underground high-stress concentration areas and then transferred to and accumulated on the ground surface to ionize the surface air, thus disturbing the AEF above the ground. This study presents a method for identifying and analyzing seismic AEF anomalies and is also beneficial for the examination of the pre-earthquake coupling process between the coversphere and the atmosphere.

Structural design is one of the important elements in the construction of a building in order to produce a safe, strong and economical building. Especially in the design of upper structures (in the form of floors, beams, columns, walls and roofs). In beam structures, design and feasibility testing regarding dimensions and the use of reinforcement are safe and economical. Based on the allowable normal stress, it can be seen whether the normal stress is feasible or not if a certain input value is entered, so that information on the feasibility of this quantity can be applied directly to the building. Therefore, it is necessary to have a simulation process regarding the feasibility of stress so that the building to be created can meet the criteria for being a safe, strong and economical building. Overall the analysis process uses Machine Learning methods. By using three types of data, namely algorithm training data, validation data and testing data with a comparison percentage of training and testing data of 80%:20%. The training process produces very high accuracy. This can be seen in the R-Squared value of 0.99 while the RMSE is 1.30e-06. Meanwhile, in the data testing process, high accuracy was also obtained, for R-Squared of 1.0 and RMSE 3.87e-16. After the training and testing process has obtained very good results, we proceed to the beam feasibility testing process by entering certain input values, to produce the normal stress magnitude (Mpa) along with the confidence level of each normal stress prediction result.

Pedestrian paths or pedestrian paths are facilities that must exist in a city. Pedestrian paths generally function to facilitate pedestrian movement from one place to another easily, smoothly, safely, comfortably and independently. Pedestrian paths are created so that road users, especially pedestrians, can avoid accidents and can enjoy walking activities safely, relaxed and comfortably without having to worry about vehicles crossing them. The unavailability of pedestrian paths on the Jalan Bandung - Cirebon corridor in Tanjungsari Village, Tanjungsari District, Sumedang Regency has caused various problems related to pedestrian safety with many traffic accidents occurring on this route.     As a first step in creating a concept plan for pedestrian routes in the Jalan Bandung - Cirebon corridor, it is necessary to identify the typology of pedestrian routes using an overlay analysis method between the land cover map and the spatial pattern map. The study findings in the form of segments will become a land plan for planning pedestrian paths that comply with safety and comfort standards. The results of the analysis state that there are 3 (three) segments that can be used as pedestrian path plans, namely road segment 1 (one) in the trade and services zone in the south with a segment length of 450 meters, road segment 2 (two) in the mixed zone with segment length of 476 meters and segment 3 (three) in the trade and services zone in the north with a segment length of 374 meters, which will be the basis for determining further analysis.

Adequacy of Blanching on Quality Characteristics of Medicinal Indian Borage Leaves
Authors: Suchismita Dwivedy  , Kalpana Rayaguru
Published: March 2024

Leaves of Indian borage (Coleus aromaticus) are rich in medicinal qualities, and need to be preserved immediately after harvest. Blanching is a prerequisite for preservation of green leafy vegetables. However, it may cause partial destruction of some active ingredients. The objective of the present study was to identify a suitable blanching treatment (hot water, chemical, microwave) and condition (temperature, time and power) for Coleus aromaticus leaves that ensures enzyme inactivation and maximum retention of therapeutic value (total phenolics and antioxidant properties) with desirable sensory properties (colour and shape). Retention of therapeutic value and sensory score was comparatively higher in microwave blanched sample over both hot water and chemically blanched samples. Blanching time of 80 s and 60 s was adequate for hot water and chemically blanched samples, respectively. Microwave blanching at 900,720,540,360 and 180 W power required 30,40,50,70,80 s, respectively, for complete inactivation of peroxidase. As the microwave power decreased, blanching time increased. However, the increase was significant at 360 and 180W power. Retention of total phenolics and antioxidant properties was better in samples blanched at 540W. From the sensory point of view, microwave blanching proved to be better than hot water and chemical blanching for flatness to the shape of dried leaves

Authors: Ludin Ismail , Mukti Saepul
Published: March 2024

Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is a work behavior that is highly expected to achieve goals in the organization. In its implementation in the workplace, organizational citizenship behavior can affect the atmosphere of a rigid organization or institution into a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere among fellow employees with a strong teamwork atmosphere. This study aims to determine the effect of servant leadership and organizational commitment on OCB. The research method used in this research is descriptive and verification with a quantitative approach. The subjects studied were employees of the Minhajul Haq Islamic Boarding School with a total sample of 78 people using a stratified random sampling technique. The results showed that partially servant leadership had no significant effect on organizational citizenship behavior. However, simultaneously servant leadership and organizational commitment have a significant influence on the organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) of Minhajul Haq Islamic boarding school employees. Organizational commitment has a more dominant influence which is the accumulation of the influencing variables (51.9%).

Published: March 2024

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to estimate the influence of the adequacy of employer accommodations of health impairments in predicting permanent separation from the employment relationship in a cohort of workers disabled by a work-related injury or illness.

METHODS: The study used data from a retrospective, observational cohort of 1793 Ontario workers who participated in an interviewer-administered survey 18 months following a disabling injury or illness. The relative risks (RR) of a permanent employment separation associated with inadequate employer accommodations were estimated using inverse probability of treatment weights to reduce confounding.

RESULTS: Over the 18-month follow-up, the incidence of permanent separation was 30.1/100, with 49.2% of separations related to health status. Approximately 51% of participants experiencing a separation were exposed to inadequate workplace accommodations, compared to 27% of participants in continuing employment. The propensity score adjusted RR of a health-related separation associated with inadequate accommodation was substantial [RR 2.72; 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.20–3.73], greater than the RR of separations not related to health (RR 1.68; 95% CI 1.38–2.21).

CONCLUSIONS: Incidence of permanent separation in this cohort of Ontario labor force participants was approximately two times more frequent than would be expected. The adequacy of employer accommodation was a strong determinant of the risk of permanent separation. These findings emphasize the potential for strengthened workplace accommodation practices in this setting.

An Inventory Model with Fluctuate Ordering and Holding Cost with Salvage Value for Time Sensitive Demand and Partial Backlogging
Authors: Garima Sharma Garima Khare,
Published: March 2024

Inventory models are essential in evaluating a wide range of genuine situations that occur in locations, including grocery and vegetable markets, market yards, petroleum exploration businesses, etc. This article introduces an economic order quantity (EOQ) profit optimization for degrading products. It analyzes how variable ordering prices and holding charges affect profit margins within restricted planning horizons. Here demand rate is projected to be time sensitive, and the worsening price is proportional to time. Models of inventories for decaying objects are established. The dilemma is solved when shortages are considered acceptable and partially backordered. The holding and ordering expenses tend to fluctuate. The salvage value is allocated to items in the system that have deteriorated. A numerical example is used to discuss the sensitivity of the models. Further, We exemplify that the significantly reduced cost coefficient is convex if evaluated simultaneously and finds the most efficient solution. The statistical analysis reveals that a suitable policy can benefit the retailer, especially for worsening products.

Authors: Rosales Maria de la Victoria
Published: March 2024

El presente estudio analiza la empatía como habilidad cognitivo-emocional-afectiva del médico que permite vivenciar la situación emocional del paciente y transformar el encuentro clínico en un acto solidario y responsable. Señala la importancia de cuidar abnegadamente al otro atendiendo su vulnerabilidad y dependencia, y subraya el valor de custodiar la vida humana hasta su cumplimiento natural, haciéndose cargo del otro, por medio del acompañamiento y de propiciar la renovación del sentido de la existencia, cuando esta está marcada por el sufrimiento y la enfermedad. Se indica que la empatía interviene en la toma de decisiones de la práctica clínica. El análisis detallado de los niveles de empatía, su manifestación en la personalidad de los entrevistados y cómo esta interviene en la toma de decisiones comprueban los beneficios de un trabajo enfocado en defender la intangibilidad de la vida humana y la dignidad de la persona.
The Sustainability of Palm Oil

Published: March 2024

The most significant environmental issue associated with palm oil that is accused by the European Union is deforestation, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia. The tension arose after the EU established Renewable Energy Directive II. EU considered palm oil-producing countries have ignored environmental issues by expanding palm oil plantations which has resulted in deforestation. This made palm oil plantations included in the high-risk Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) category. Therefore, this article presents a comparison of the sustainability between palm oil and other vegetable oils such as sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, etc. The findings of this article contextualize the comparative advantage of palm oil over other similar resources. The reasons why palm oil is more sustainable are it needs less land to produce the same amount of oil, its sustainability certification at the international level such as RSPO which is also connected to SDGs, and at the domestic level such as ISPO and MSPO. One strategy proposed in this article is instead of boycotting palm oil, the government and stakeholders should prioritize the implementation of sustainable practices, enhance the monitoring and enforcement of RSPO scheme standards, and tackle social concerns and deforestation that are always linked to palm oil.

Bezpieczeństwo finansowe polskich gospodarstw rolnych. Propozycja ujednoliconej miary
Authors: Ryś-Jurek Roma
Published: March 2024

Celem głównym pracy było przedstawienie propozycji metodycznej kompozycji miernika bezpieczeństwa finansowego (BF) dla polskich gospodarstw rolnych. W opracowanym wskaźniku uwzględniono pięć czynników pochodzących z analizy wskaźnikowej danych finansowych. Podmiotem badań były gospodarstwa rolne z Polski, które prowadzą rachunkowość rolną w ramach systemu FADN. Przedmiotem badań było zaś bezpieczeństwo finansowe tych gospodarstw. Dokonano jego pomiaru, opierając się na wskaźnikach z zakresu relacji majątkowo-kapitałowych, płynności i zadłużenia, sprawności działania oraz efektywności finansowej. Najpierw opisano stan bezpieczeństwa finansowego w polskim sektorze gospodarstw rolnych na tle średnich wyników obserwowanych w Unii Europejskiej w latach 2004–2020. Następnie na podstawie eksperymentalnego zbiorczego wskaźnika BF powstał ranking gospodarstw rolnych dla 2020 r., pokazujący 10 najwyższych i najniższych wyników. W końcowej części pracy wykonano badanie wrażliwości wskaźnika BF na wybranych 12 podstawowych kategorii produkcyjnych, ekonomicznych i finansowych za pomocą klasycznej metody najmniejszych kwadratów ze stałą. Po wykonanych badaniach można stwierdzić, że polskie gospodarstwa rolne są bezpieczne finansowo, co wynika z: przewagi aktywów trwałych w sumie bilansowej, zachowania złotej reguły bilansowej, nadpłynności, niskiego zadłużenia, dodatniego udziału kapitału obrotowego netto w sumie bilansowej i zauważalnej dochodowości. Ponadto ich wyniki nie odbiegają znacząco od średniego poziomu obserwowanego w 28 krajach UE. Na podstawie rankingu wykazano, że tendencję do utrzymywania nadmiernego bezpieczeństwa finansowego mają gospodarstwa najmniejsze – do 12 ha, o dochodzie do ok. 11 tys. euro – niezależnie od kierunku produkcji. Potwierdzają to wyniki oszacowanych modeli z jedną zmienną. Im wyższe jest bezpieczeństwo finansowe gospodarstwa, tym niższe aktywa, zobowiązania, dochód i przepływ pieniężny.

Поведение розничных инвесторов на финансовом рынке КНР: современные подходы к социологическому исследованию
Authors: Лю Сыцзя
Published: March 2024

Исследования в рамках социологии финансов в Китае предполагают всесторонний анализ мотивации поведения розничных инвесторов, как новой и становящейся всё более значимой группы инвесторов. Доминирование розничных инвесторов на развивающемся китайском фондовом рынке требует проведения экономико-социологического анализа их поведения в текущей быстро меняющейся, нестабильной глобальной социально-экономической ситуации. Научная новизна исследования заключается в обобщении и систематизации различных характеристик инвестиционного поведения китайских розничных инвесторов, их целей и мотивов участия на фондовом рынке, которые позволят регулирующим органам финансовых рынков Китая развивать более эффективные инструменты поведенческого регулирования, направленные на защиту китайских розничных инвесторов на финансовых рынках от возможных рисков. Рассматривается капитализация рынка акций Китая и капитализация крупнейших китайских фондовых площадок, проанализирован ряд ключевых факторов, оказывающих непосредственное влияние на поведение китайских розничных инвесторов на фондовом рынке. Сделан вывод о наличии и влиянии группового давления блогеров, агентских инвесторов в цифровой среде онлайн-коммуникаций на поведение китайских розничных инвесторов на фондовом рынке, вызывающих конвергенцию инвестиционных решений и образующих резкие колебания цен акций эмитентов. Раскрыты цели и мотивы участия китайских розничных инвесторов на фондовом рынке, определены риски «эффекта толпы» в поведении розничных китайских инвесторов. Сделан вывод о том, что интенсивные процессы, связанные с социальным взаимодействием розничных китайских инвесторов и агентов-инвесторов через дивергентную структуру цифровой среды, влияют на поведение розничных инвесторов и подчеркивают всё более значимую роль интернет-платформ для развития финансовых рынков Китайской Народной Республики.
Genetic identification of Penaeus monodon from incipient invasions in the Yucatán Peninsula, south-southeast Gulf of Mexico

In the western Atlantic, the presence of the invasive tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon has been recorded since 1987. Established and incipient populations are reported from North Carolina, USA, to Sergipe, Brazil. In the Yucatán Peninsula, in the south-southeast Gulf of Mexico,
the first sightings of P. monodon were reported in 2014. To date, the sparse records suggest an ongoing incipient invasion, providing a time-critical opportunity for early biological assessment. In the present study, two wild adults of P . monodon are reported for
Río Lagartos Lagoon, Yucatán, situated in the innermost part of the southeast Gulf of Mexico, close to the Caribbean Sea. Penaeus monodon identification was initially assessed based on macroscopic morphological features. Molecular analyses were used to corroborate morphological
identification. A BLAST search was conducted by comparing partial sequences (510 bp) of the mtDNA control region (CR) of tiger shrimps from Yucatán (used as queries) with sequences deposited in the GenBank database. A Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic tree, generated from BLAST top hits
(E-value cutoff = 0), revealed that sequences from Yucatán were most closely related to native sequences submitted from Indonesia. This accurate species identification has implications since this invasive shrimp threatens native biodiversity. The probable regional routes of the spread
of P . monodon to the south- southeast Gulf of Mexico are discussed.
