Published: September 2023

Como todos los años, en esta sección invitamos a artistas cordobeses, que estén trabajando en relación con el eje temático, a compartir sus prácticas y procesos creativos. Esta vez convocamos a la compañía BiNeural-monokultur que aborda las tecnologías en cruce con las artes escénicas para generar experiencias diversas con los públicos; al cineasta Pablo Weber quien trabaja con el anarchivo de internet para reflexionar sobre los modos de existencia digital de los materiales audiovisuales; y a Yamil Burguener, compositor y creative coder, que utiliza el código para trabajar arte generativo donde el sistema es el que toma sus caminos pseudo-random en la composición de las piezas. En la conversación aparecieron abordajes diversos en relación con los vínculos entre las tecnologías y sus prácticas artísticas, comprendiendo a estas en un sentido amplio y situado también. Dialogaron sobre la fuerte conexión entre tecnología  y cultura en la vida social de cualquiera de los públicos, en cuanto a cómo interactúan e intervienen en las propuestas artísticas, desde herramientas tecnológicas que las exceden.

Authors: Pisano Tomás Santiago , Tavip Valentina , Varela Hernando
Published: September 2023

En este artículo nos proponemos reconstruir la experiencia de lo que se denominó Identikit.Museo. Este hecho artístico fue parte de la última etapa del proyecto de producción CePIABIERTO 2021/2022 “Músicas entre músicas: una propuesta sobre contrapunto cognitivo bajo los conceptos de intertextualidad musical y procesos intersemióticos”. La propuesta consistió en convocar públicamente a artistas y realizar una deconstrucción de la ópera titulada Identikit.Show, compuesta en el marco de dicho proyecto. A lo largo de cinco encuentros, en modalidad de laboratorio/taller, se logró crear una nueva propuesta artística que, a partir del trabajo interdisciplinario y colectivo, reflexionó y problematizó aspectos de autoría, registros, obra y forma.
Nota editorial #9: Fabulaciones múltiples y tecnologías posibles
Authors: Agüero María Florencia , Molina Constanza
Published: September 2023

En un escenario contemporáneo de inminente crisis ambiental resuena la pregunta que nos hace Donna Haraway: ¿qué hacemos con el tiempo que nos queda? ¿Cómo dar batalla al capitalismo furioso y a un paradigma positivista que, en su eterna promesa de progreso y bienestar, propone colonizar roboticamente nuestras facultades humanas? Una salida, indica la filósofa, podría ser reparar en cómo contamos nuestras historias, el lenguaje y su poder creador de realidad/es. En este sentido desde Artilugio queremos impulsar un espacio de reflexión, creación y diálogo en torno a fabulaciones múltiples y tecnologías posibles. Imaginar y narrar formas de vida que nos permitan soñar modos alternativos de vinculación con el mundo, existencias más sensibles, afectivas y multiespecistas.

Development and Validation of a Screening Tool for The Identification of Refractive Errors Among School Going Children In Tamil Nadu, India
Authors: V Sudharsan , Davidson Prateeksha Dawn , V Lakshmi Kandhan , Amudha VP  , M Rita Hepsi Rani
Published: September 2023

Background: The inability to focus light onto the retina, known as refractive error, is a significant cause of correctable visual impairment. Unfortunately, students' ocular complaints often go unnoticed due to a lack of awareness. To address this issue, a questionnaire with high sensitivity and reasonable specificity was developed for teachers to identify students with refractive error.
Methods: A questionnaire with surrogate indicators for refractive error in children was used and the data was analysed using SPSS. Significant markers were scored and a ROC curve determined a suitable cut-off. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated based on this cut-off.
Results: The questionnaire was developed using five variables that had a 65% probability of identifying refractive error, including copying errors, copying from peers, eye squeezing, previous use of glasses, and eye deviation. A cut-off score of 5.5 out of 14 achieved 90% sensitivity and 50% specificity in detecting refractive errors.
Conclusion: This study created a tool with five markers that demonstrated good internal consistency and content validity, it had an average sensitivity and specificity of 84% and 63%, respectively. The tool is twice as likely to identify someone with refractive error than someone without it.
Eficiența răririi chimice în diferită doză de tratare la soiul Gala Must cu produse pe bază de NAD, ANA și BA
Authors: CALESTRU Oleg
Published: September 2023

The researches were carried out in the period 2014-2017 in the intensive apple orchard of the enterprise „Codru ST” Ltd. founded in 2006. The efficiency of chemical fruit thinning was studied in Gala Must variety grafted on M9 rootstock. The following active substances were applied: 1. naphthalene-acetamide NAD (Geramid-New), 2. naphthylacetic acid ANA (Dirager) and 3. benzyladenine BA (Gerba 4LG), using different doses and thinning periods. During the research the following indicators were studied: the number and average weight of fruits, the yield per tree and per unit area, and the average fruit diameter. On average, over the years 2014-2017, the highest number of fruits in the crown of apple trees was obtained using the growth regulators Dirager (131.2 pcs/tree) and Geramid-New (128 pcs/tree), while the variants treated with Gerba 4LG recorded the highest yield per tree 18.01 kg/tree and the highest average fruit diameter 74.1 mm. The average fruit weight as a quality indicator varied greatly over the studied years. This indicator largely correlated with the number of fruits in the tree crown and weather conditions in the year of reference. It was established that the treatments with Geramid-New in a dose of 1.2 l/ha when 80% of the petals have fallen + 2-3 days, with Dirager in a dose of 0.3 l/ha when the diameter of the central fruit is 8-9 mm and with Gerba 4LG in a dose of 2.5 l/ha when the fruit diameter is 10-15 mm have a significant effect on the studied indicators.

We have been investigated in different solvent medium to interactions between 4-Ethoxybenzoic acid (4EOBA), 4-Pentylbenzoic acid (4PentBA), and 4-Pentylphenyl 4-Methylbenzoate (4PP4MetB) liquid crystals with CdS, CdSe and ZnS nanoparticles. For this, the new materials composed from LC compound including the solvent and nanoparticle were investigated by use absorbance and fluorescence spectra. Electronic transitions and differences in absorbance and fluorescence spectra were interpreted. The fluorescence of liquid crystals has been defined in the shifts between wavelengths of the fluorescence of nanomaterials. It can be said that it has occurred blue shift at the maximum fluorescence wavelengths of the 4EOBA-CdS-DMSO and 4EOBA-CdSe-DMSO compared to 4EOBA-DMSO. On the other hand, we can say that in the 4EOBA-ZnS-DMSO solution occurs red shift in the fluorescence band, while the peaks seen in the fluorescence band occur in result of interaction of liquid crystals and nanoparticles.

: In a criminal offense we need to know clearly the criminal offense that occurred is a must. One of them is the crime of embezzlement formulated in Article 372 of the Criminal Code, which means that embezzlement is an act in which an object is in the power of a person not because of a criminal offense, but because of a legal act, for example because of storage, entrustment agreements, and so on. Then the person who is given the trust to store and so on controls the goods for himself unlawfully, then the person is committing embezzlement. In contrast to fraud as formulated in Article 378 of the Criminal Code, fraud means an act with the intent to unlawfully benefit oneself or others by using a false name, false dignity, deception or lies that can cause others to easily surrender their goods, money or wealth. These two criminal offenses can result in other actions that harm others with economic motives, which can be said that fraud and embezzlement are carried out to obtain a person's assets, one of which can be obtained by money laundering. Assets themselves are goods which in the legal sense are movable objects, both tangible and intangible, which are included in the assets or wealth or property of an agency, business entity organization or individual. The anti-money laundering regime in Indonesia has given birth to a new approach that no longer focuses on the perpetrators of crime, but on the assets of the proceeds of crime, known as the follow the money method. In addition, the law enforcement instruments against illegal assets contained in the Anti-Money Laundering Law are actually sufficient to reach not only the assets resulting from criminal acts but also their acquisition. Ideally, the assets resulting from the criminal offense are returned to the victim of the criminal offense through a court decision with permanent legal force that orders the seizure of assets for the state or returns to the rightful owner. Returning assets to victims by perpetrators in cases of property crime, fraud and embezzlement is not impossible. Return of assets in the form of compensation in this case can be implemented by merging cases. Victims of crimes with material losses, such as fraud and embezzlement, have the right to recover their property.

Published: September 2023

Atualmente é crescente a importância dada a sistemas capazes de gerir os recursos ambientais, a saúde, segurança e responsabilidade social, e é nesse cenário que o Sistema Integrado de Gestão (SIG) atua. Esse tipo de gestão é fundamental quando se refere ao sistema carcerário brasileiro, que passa por problemas de ordem estrutural quanto a sua finalidade. Com uma gestão sustentável em unidades prisionais é possível realizar programas internos que podem favorecer a preservação do meio ambiente natural e humano, melhorando a rotina dos presos e colaboradores responsáveis pela custódia e administração. Nesse contexto, o objetivo desse artigo é realizar um levantamento bibliométrico acerca do uso de Sistemas Integrados de Gestão, para impulsionar a efetivação de presídios sustentáveis. Para isso foram feitas buscas nos bancos de dados da Capes, SciELO, Science Direct e Google Acadêmico, utilizando as palavras-chave: presídios sustentáveis, sistema integrado de gestão prisional e sustentabilidade em penitenciárias. Mediante a leitura dos resumos, os trabalhos foram analisados considerando a categoria do estudo, a temática abordada e ano de publicação. Foram identificados 367 artigos publicados no período estudado (2017 a 2022), e após a triagem e elegibilidade foram selecionados 06 artigos para a leitura completa. Como resultado, registrou-se que o Brasil necessita aprimorar a produção literária sobre a temática relacionada a presídios sustentáveis, concluindo-se, portanto, que o país precisa investir em programas para aplicar a sustentabilidade dentro dos presídios por meio de sistemas integrados, encontrando-se muito aquém em relação a outros países, como Estados Unidos, Reino Unido e Noruega.

Authors: Hakim Nurul Fahmi Arief , Azhima Silmi Ath Thahirah Al , Qibtiya Mariya Al
Published: September 2023

This article proposes a compact coplanar waveguide (CPW) antenna with a semicircular patch and patch arm above the feed line. The method used in this antenna research is experimental, with antenna parameter optimization, fabrication, and measurement steps. The antenna was 40 mm × 46 mm × 0.8 mm and was printed on an FR4 substrate. Antenna optimization was carried out with CST Studio Suite to obtain optimal results. Based on return loss measurement results, the proposed antenna has an operational frequency of 2 GHz–7 GHz. The antenna arm has a significant effect on the operational frequency of the antenna, as proven by a parameter study of the antenna arm. Parametric studies were carried out on the antenna by investigating the influence of geometric parameters on the frequency characteristics. Optimization results were printed then measured by a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) and a spectrum analyzer. The fabricated CPW antenna has a wider operating frequency than the simulation. An omnidirectional radiation pattern was observed at 2 GHz–4 GHz. The antenna has been used as a transmitter and receiver at 2.4 GHz, 3 GHz, and 4 GHz. The antenna is able to receive the signal emitted from the signal generator.
Type a personality and nutritional behaviours of competitive basketball players
Authors: Gacek Maria , Wojtowicz Agnieszka , López Sánchez Guillermo Felipe
Published: September 2023

Introduction. Type A personality pattern (TAPP) is related to, among others, strong rivalry and struggle for achievements, which are features that fit into sports competition. One of the determinants of sports success is a proper diet. The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between the level of type A personality behavioural pattern and nutritional behaviours of basketball players. Materials and Methods. The study was conducted among 165 high-level basketball players. An author-designed nutritional behaviour questionnaire (according to the recommendations of the Food Pyramid for Swiss Athletes) and the Framingham Score in the Polish adaptation were used. Spearman's rank correlation and the Mann-Whitney U tests were applied for the analysis of the results. Results. The study confirmed that along with the increase in TAPP, the healthy eating behaviour index among basketball players increased, although it did not reach the level of statistical significance (p=0.080). Comparison of TAPP levels between groups that adhered to or disregarded particular nutritional recommendations showed that athletes limiting the consumption of non-recommended products (sweetened carbonated and non-carbonated beverages, energy drinks, fast food, and sweet and salty snacks) demonstrated a higher level of type A behaviours than those who did not follow these recommendations (p<0.001). At the same time, however, athletes consuming fish at the recommended frequency and taking care of adequate hydration during training had lower levels of TAPP than those who did not follow these recommendations (p<0.05). Conclusions. A positive relationship was found between the intensity of TAPP and the healthy eating behaviour index (without the level of statistical significance), but the results were not entirely unambiguous, which suggests the validity of further research.

Published: September 2023

The development and management of irrigation in many developing countries have been characterized by many challenges, which have led to irrigation capacity utilization on some existing schemes being very low. This study assesses small-scale irrigation scheme infrastructure in the Upper West Region of Ghana, using Yeleyiri irrigation scheme in the Wa West District and Pulima irrigation scheme in the Sissala West District as case studies. The focus of the assessment was on the status and an analysis of the rehabilitation requirements of the two schemes. In conducting the evaluation, transect walks, topographic surveys, field observation, field measurement, interviews, focused group discussions, and questionnaire surveys were the approaches and methodology adopted. The results showed that the head works, slopes, inlet and outlet structures, water distribution systems, and drainage in both schemes were in a deplorable state and thus, required maintenance to ensure the optimization of the utilization of both schemes. In addition, the absence of a farmhouse and storage facilities in both schemes made the effective management of the schemes a major challenge. The study, therefore, proposes some interventions for the rehabilitation and efficient optimization of the two small-scale irrigation schemes.
Liderança Burocrática ou Educativa?

Published: September 2023

A literatura sobre efetividade e melhoria escolar tem destacado o papel fundamental da gestão na organização de boas práticas pedagógicas nas escolas e no aumento dos resultados de aprendizagem. Uma revisão atual da pesquisa sobre como a liderança educacional é um fator importante na melhoria dos resultados. Em contexto brasileiro, a gestão teve pouca capacidade de influenciar a melhoria das práticas de ensino, no entanto, as novas orientações das pesquisas em administração e das políticas educacionais potencializam a liderança pedagógica. O perfil gerencial de gestão está, portanto, sendo estendido à liderança pedagógica. Assim, a liderança para a aprendizagem, para além da gestão, precisa ser ampliada, de forma distribuída, por meio da liderança de comunidades docentes e de aprendizagem profissional. Dessa forma, este estudo se presta a discutir as sérias limitações que a atual gestão tem para projetar ambientes para melhorar a aprendizagem de todos os alunos.

Published: September 2023

This study took the ‘origin-pattern-function’ of landscape progression as the central theoretical framework and conducted a systematic study on the evolution of open-space landscape patterns in Habe cities, situated between the river Niger and the river Benue in northern Nigeria. This study aimed to explore the embedded landscape cosmology in Hausaland and the origins of its historic mythology. A descriptive research and review approach was adopted, to explain and interpret prevailing practices, existing circumstances, attitudes, reasons, and on-going processes. It unveils the planning of open spaces and houses according to an ancient cosmology that organized towns during the Habe Hausa Dynasty. The open spaces appear to be a sphere of convergent and divergent forces that maintain a delicate balance, whereas the outcrop hills of central Hausaland are domicile places with religious appeal and better defensibility. Further, the physical effects of Islamic influence are visible in the landscape of Hausa cities, such as locating a mosque in the heart of the city as well spatial expressions of the practice of the seclusion of women. The study also revealed that the concept of triple outdoor space in the landscape of Habe cities is identical with that of the traditional Hausa family dwellings enclosed by a compound wall with a gate. This paper presents the key enablers of the Hausa cities’ transformation into commercial, administrative, religious, and agricultural centers. It recommends that in the event of landscape development without certain public guidelines or natural practices, complicated mediation measures should be invoked if disorder is not to prevail. It finally seeks a comprehensive application of local practices and innovative methods with the aim of averting vulnerability of urbanization.

Nemcsak a múlt század húszas-harmincas éveinek magyar művészetében fedezhetők fel egyre-másra keleti hatások, hanem a kiskereskedelmi árucikkek reklámjaiban is. A tanulmány megpróbálja körüljárni, hogy az ismert grafikusművész és illusztrátor, Lukáts Kató által 1936 körül készített, eddig azonosítatlan hátterű, minden valószínűség szerint egy kínai Guanyin ábrázolás alapján megfestett reklámtervet hogyan lehet visszavezetni az eredeti képmásig, hogyan alakult ki maga az eredeti képmás, illetve mi ennek a képmásnak és korai szöveges háttereinek a kapcsolata. Olyan további kérdések is felvetődnek, hogy miért válhatott egy Guayin ábrázolás alkalmassá egy luxus kozmetikum reklámozására, miben azonos és miben különbözik ez a reklámterv a hagyományos kínai megjelenítéstől, milyen korabeli közvetlen hatások játszhattak közre kialakításában, valamint a reklám érdekében hogyan alakult át az eredeti vallási-filozófiai tartalom. Végül a tanulmány arra is választ próbál adni, hogy melyik magyar cég vállalkozott termékének egy Guanyin ábrázolással való reklámozására, és végül miért nem kerülhetett erre sor.
A 10. bogd beiktatása – az első visszhangok és hatás a mongol szertartásrendszerre

A Dalai Láma 2023. március 8-án egy dharamshalai eseményen bemutatta a nyilvánosságnak a mongol buddhizmus új főlámáját, a 10. bogd-ot, egy jelenleg nyolcéves gyermeket. Azóta a bogd már Mongóliában tartózkodik, és készülnek a trónra ültetés szertartására. Ez kétségkívül nagyon fontos a mongol buddhizmus szempontjából, ráadásul a 9. bogd 2012-es halála óta csak most került erre az igen várt eseményre sor. Legfontosabb részükre mégis az, hogy a kinevezett bogd mongol gyermek, így hosszú ideje végre először töltheti be a pozíciót hazai személy. Mindez Kína Mongóliának a tibetiekkel, tibeti buddhizmussal való kapcsolataira adott eddig is komoly reakciói miatt kockázattal is jár a jelen politikai környezetben. E cikkben a történeti és politikai háttér felvázolása után a beiktatása körüli eseményeket, (főleg mongóliai) visszhangokat összegzem, megemlítem a megnevezésekor újra szárnyra kelt, 20. század eleji népdalrészletet, kitérek a vallásgyakorlat szempontjából fontos, a megnevezése és beiktatása következtében beálló szertartásrendbeli változásokra, és közreadom a 10. bogd hosszú-élet imájának fordítását, mely a Dalai Láma tollából származik.
Bhután, a Mennydörgő Sárkány és az Össznemzeti Boldogság földje

A himalájai Bhutáni Királyság sok szempontból figyelemreméltó hely. A tibeti buddhizmus drukpa kagyü irányzatának legfontosabb központja a világon, olyan meseszerű, ködbe burkolódzó zarándokhelyekkel, mint a 3100 méter magasan a meredek sziklákra tapadó, „égi hajszálon függő” Tigrisfészek kolostor. Az ország évszázadokig szinte teljesen el volt zárva a külvilágtól, gyarmat nem volt, és jórészt kimaradt a 20. század radikális gazdasági és társadalmi változásaiból. Bhutánban az 1950-es évekig feudális viszonyok uralkodtak. Nem voltak városok, modern ipar, aszfaltúthálózat, vezetékes telefon, közoktatási rendszer, egészségügyi ellátás, papírpénz, és a lakosság túlnyomó része távoli, elzárt kistelepüléseken, elektromos áram nélkül, robot és terményadó sújtotta, írástudatlan, önellátó földművesként élt.
Az Össznemzeti Boldogság: teljességre törekvő fejlődés
Authors: Karma Ura
Published: September 2023

A szerző bemutatja a Bruttó Hazai Termék (GDP), a szubjektív jóllét (SWB) és az Össznemzeti Boldogság (GNH) mutatók felépítését, mérési módszereit, főbb jellemzőit és korlátait, valamint javaslatokat tesz arra, hogy miként tudnának jobban egymásra épülni, ahelyett, hogy elszigetelten alkalmaznánk őket. Bepillantást nyújt a bhutáni GNH index intézményi hátterébe, szerkezetébe, számítási módszereibe, szakpolitikai és egyéb alkalmazásaiba. Rámutat az index előnyeire és hátrányaira, más jólléti mutatókhoz viszonyított eltéréseire, és ismerteti a 2010 és 2015-ben végzett bhutáni országos GNH felmérés eredményeit. Megmutatja, hogy milyen kapcsolat van a buddhista értékek és tanítások és az Össznemzeti Boldogság koncepciója között, és azt, hogy miért lenne fontos a fejlődést a napjainkban használt pénzügyi mutatók helyett a fenntarthatósággal összhangban lévő jólléti- és boldogság-mutatókkal mérni.

Analysis of the efficacy of frenotomy in the treatment of difficulty in breastfeeding caused by the lingual frenum
Authors: Vasconcelos Raquel Lopes Pinto , Magalhães Ataydes Dias
Published: September 2023

Introduction: The lingual frenum is a mucous membrane that connects the tongue to the oral floor, it is responsible for the free movement of the tongue in the mouth. The altered lingual frenulum can be responsible for several problems for the newborn, including difficulties to perform functions such as sucking and swallowing, as well as impairing the proper grip of the breast during breastfeeding, which can cause pain in the mother and difficulties for the baby such as gaining weight and early weaning. Phrenotomy is a simple surgical procedure that has been employed as a treatment option for lingual frenulum alteration, with the aim of improving the condition and quality of life of the mother and newborn in the context of breastfeeding. Objective: To analyze the efficacy of frenotomy in the treatment of difficulty in breastfeeding caused by the lingual frenum, based on a review of the available medical literature on the subject. Clinical studies, such as literature reviews, case reports and research on this topic will be evaluated, in order to identify the evidence on the efficacy and safety of this procedure, pointing out the improvements identified after surgery. Literature review: It is important to identify changes in the lingual frenulum, as they negatively affect the patient's quality of life. Therefore, it is crucial to carry out an early diagnosis in order to offer the most effective treatment for this problem. For this, it is essential that professionals have adequate knowledge to make an accurate diagnosis and solve the issue. Phrenotomy is an option to be considered due to its simplicity in clinical and surgical practice, in addition to presenting few risks in the postoperative period. Final considerations: Given that the initial phase of breastfeeding is crucial for the health and quality of life of the baby, phreotomy is a safe and effective treatment, which also avoids or decreases the consequences of long-term lingual frenulum alteration. Even though there is still research that reports that it is a temporary improvement, this improvement is quite necessary to prevent early weaning, thus avoiding weight loss and the difficulty that mothers face to maintain breastfeeding.
