Creativity in practice
Authors: Allen Belinda , Caple Helen , Coleman Kate , Nguyen Tam
Published: September 2024

Creativity, both as a professional capability and as a personal attribute, is acknowledged as an important dimension of education for a fast-changing world, relevant to future practice in the professions and for learners and teachers. New social media tools, which place creation, publication and critique in the hands of web users, have been recognised as having a role in democratising creativity, making the means of production and distribution accessible to most of the developed world. Using these tools to facilitate learning activities in higher education can promote creativity and many other related capabilities: digital literacy, independent learning, collaboration and communication skills, and critical thinking. It requires creativity on the part of teachers to develop and manage learning environments and tasks that are not traditional and may be quite experimental. This paper asks some university teachers who are innovating their teaching by using social media to reflect on how creativity informs their practice and the learning of their students.
Fairs in early modern Poland
Authors: Bogucka Maria
Published: September 2024

According to J. Gilissen’s definition fairs are important regular, free meetings of merchants coming together from distant regions.1 The main differences between fairs (Polish: jarmarki, German: Jahrmarkt, French: foires, Dutch: jaarmarkten) and markets are listed. As far as gender relation is concerned it should be stressed that fairs represented male-dominated time and space, while at markets participation of females was very high, both as sellers and buyers. In this study I shall concentrate on fairs, excluding the problem of markets and local trade.
The Language Science Station at Planet Word: a language research and engagement laboratory at a language museum
Authors: Vaughn Charlotte , Mechtenberg Hannah , Contreras Jessica Orozco
Published: September 2024

The Language Science Station (LSS) is a research and engagement laboratory operating at the Planet Word museum in Washington, DC, representing a unique partnership between language researchers and a museum dedicated to language. The LSS invites Planet Word guests – ranging from local to international visitors – to participate in research studies and engage in educational activities with student language scientists from diverse academic backgrounds. In doing so, we broaden participation in the language sciences among both the researchers and the participant population. This paper outlines the goals, values, and structure of the LSS, highlighting our dual emphases on research and engagement. We focus on several aspects of the project. These include our novel multi-university researcher-museum partnership, the different considerations that we find are necessary for conducting research in a museum setting compared to the laboratory, and our training of researchers and student research assistants. The paper also provides reflections from students on their interactions with museum visitors. We share our experiences with the broader scholarly community in an effort to lower barriers for other behavioral scientists interested in combining research and engagement in public venues.
Genetics of female and male infertility
Authors: Friedrich Corinna , Tüttelmann Frank
Published: September 2024

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive within one year of unprotected intercourse, and the causes are equally distributed between both sexes. Genetics play a crucial role in couple infertility and respective diagnostic testing should follow available guidelines. Appropriate tiered genetic analyses require comprehensive physical examination of both partners in an infertile couple. A wide range of chromosomal and monogenic variants can be the underlying genetic cause of infertility in both women and men. Accurate clinical phenotyping, together with identification of the genetic origin, helps to recommend the proper treatment and to counsel couples on the success rates and potential risks for offspring.
Asymptotic Properties of ReLU FFN Sieve Estimators
Authors: Fabozzi Frank J. , Fallahgoul Hasan , Franstianto Vincentius , Loeper Grégoire
Published: September 2024

Recently, machine learning algorithms have increasing become popular tools for economic and financial forecasting. While there are several machine learning algorithms for doing so, a powerful and efficient algorithm for forecasting purposes is the multi-layer, multi-node neural network with rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation function – deep neural network (DNN). Studies have demonstrated the empirical applications of DNN but have devoted less research to investigate its statistical properties which is mainly due to its severe nonlinearity and heavy parametrization. By borrowing tools from a non-parametric regression framework, sieve estimator, we first show that there exists such a sieve estimator for a DNN. We next establish three asymptotic properties of the ReLU network: consistency, sieve-based convergence rate, and asymptotic normality, and then validate our theoretical results using Monte Carlo analysis.
De facto-Kategorisierung und Ungleichheit bei der Kita-Platzvergabe in Deutschland: Der Rechtsanspruch auf Frühe Bildung und seine Realität
Authors: Bader Samuel , Scholz Antonia
Published: September 2024

Der Beitrag untersucht die Platzvergabe in Kindertageseinrichtungen. Trotz langjährigen Ausbaus und eines gesetzlichen Platzanspruchs zeigen sich in Deutschland Nutzungsunterschiede in Abhängigkeit von der sozialen Herkunft. Angesichts vielerorts fehlender Kita-Plätze wird das Aufnahme- zu einem Auswahlverfahren. Im deutschen Kita-Mehrebenensystem ergeben sich hierbei Spielräume auf Einrichtungsebene. Diskutiert wird, inwiefern es sich dabei um einen Prozess der Kategorisierung handelt, der zu ungleicher Teilhabe an Früher Bildung führen kann.

Wer an der Platzvergabe in deutschen Kitas beteiligt ist und welche Aufnahmekriterien Anwendung finden, wird mit den TALIS Starting Strong Daten quantitativ untersucht und international eingeordnet. Es zeigt sich, dass Einrichtungsleitungen eine zentrale Rolle spielen. Die Aufnahmekriterien erweisen sich häufig als ungleichheitsrelevant, teils offensichtlich, teils bedingt durch komplexere Zusammenhänge. Angesichts fortbestehender Platzknappheit gilt es diese kritisch zu diskutieren.

Authors: Offele Okopoue Jacqueline , Bangagnan Yanga Elfy Déba
Published: September 2024

Les problèmes liés à l’accès au crédit sont au cœur des débats dans le monde en général et en Afrique en particulier. Ainsi, cet article a pour objectif d’analyser les effets de l’accès au financement sur la performance des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) féminines en République du Congo. Pour y parvenir, nous avons utilisé les données primaires de 11 105 entreprises, issues du Recensement des très petites, petites, moyennes entreprises et des artisans (RTPMEA) réalisé par l’Institut national de la statistique (INS, 2017) de la République du Congo en 2017. À cet effet, les estimations sont basées sur la méthode des doubles moindres carrés des variables instrumentales. Les résultats obtenus montrent que l’accès au financement est un facteur favorable pour la performance des entreprises féminines au Congo et donne lieu à des recommandations de politique économique d’inclusion, de formation et d’incitation.
Síntomas de ansiedad y depresión en una muestra de la población general: el efecto mediador de los pensamientos negativos repetitivos, la supresión de pensamientos, la reevaluación positiva y la resistencia al malestar
Authors: González Manuel , González Mario , Rovella Anna
Published: September 2024

En esta investigación presentamos el efecto mediador de cuatro estrategias de afrontamiento intrapersonal: los pensamientos negativos repetitivos (PNRs), la supresión de pensamientos (SP), la reevaluación positiva (REEV) y la resistencia al malestar (RMA) en la relación entre el afecto negativo (AN) y el positivo (AP) con los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión. La muestra es de 536 personas de la población general, con una media de edad de 29.9 (Dt=12.6) años y con un 59.5 % mujeres. Los resultados de mediación constatan los siguientes modelos: 1.1) un modelo de mediación directa e inversa, donde los PNRs son un mediador bidireccional entre el AN y los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión; 2.1) un modelo inverso, el directo no fue estadísticamente significativo, en el que los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión mediante la SP amplifican los PNRs, y no a la inversa; 2.2) los síntomas depresivos mediante la REEV amortiguan los PNRs; 3.1) en el modelo directo, la RMA es un mediador parcial entre el AP y los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión; 3.2) la SP es un mediador entre el AN y los síntomas depresivos; 4.1) según modelo inverso, la REEV es un mediador parcial entre los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión con el AP, de manera que la primera amplifica el AP; 4.2) la SP es un mediador entre los síntomas depresivos y el AN, de manera que la primera amplifica este último.

Authors: Del Llano Toro Nicolasa , López-López Wilson
Published: September 2024

Con la llegada del coronavirus a Colombia se ponen a prueba los esfuerzos de la población por salir adelante en un país con un tejido social fracturado. En ese contexto, se indagó por las concepciones y prácticas asociadas a la solidaridad surgidas durante la pandemia por el COVID-19 en Bogotá. Para ello, se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a 20 participantes, de las cuales emergieron las categorías de análisis mediante la teoría fundamentada. Posteriormente, se analizaron los discursos en el software Atlas.ti. El hallazgo más importante fue que todos los participantes prestaron ayudas según sus posibilidades y motivados por la empatía, la percepción de necesidad, la vulnerabilidad y los lazos familiares. Así, la solidaridad demuestra que, aún en momentos tan complejos, movilizarse para ayudar al otro puede ser un voto de esperanza para trabajar por la cohesión social y la paz.

Authors: Tamayo Salinas Sebastián , Hernández Eliana María , Tirado-Otálvaro Andrés Felipe
Published: September 2024

Objetivo: comprender la estigmatización hacia la población habitante de calle, su relación con el consumo de drogas, el género y sus consecuencias, desde la perspectiva del personal asistencial de Medellín. Métodos: investigación cualitativa con alcance descriptivo-interpretativo. Los datos fueron generados mediante grupos focales. La información fue analizada con técnicas de la teoría fundamentada y contrastada con la literatura científica sobre el tema. Resultados: emergieron dos concepciones sobre el habitante de calle: desechable y ciudadano. Sobre el género, se destacaron los múltiples estigmas hacia las mujeres y la población LGBTI en condición de calle, se describen las consecuencias que tiene la estigmatización. Conclusión: vivir en la calle y tener un estilo de vida contrario a los valores dominantes hace que los habitantes de calle sean discriminados, deshumanizados y corregidos por parte de la sociedad, lo cual se agrava cuando se pertenece a los géneros no hegemónicos. Esta situación limita la garantía de derechos humanos fundamentales, en especial el derecho a la salud.
El Gobierno del Perú de Juan de Matienzo: una cuestión de servicio y merced en el siglo XVI
Authors: Morong Germán , Gloël Matthias
Published: September 2024

En noviembre de 1567, el licenciado Juan de Matienzo remitía a Felipe II su obra Gobierno del Perú. El objetivo de esta contribución es explorar acerca de las motivaciones e intereses concretos que motivaron al oidor a escribir esta obra. A partir de una lectura detenida a su tratado capital y a su corpus epistolar (1561-1579), analizamos al autor y su escritura en el contexto de las relaciones clientelares, donde se vuelven fundamentales los conceptos de servicio y merced. Se sostiene que Matienzo escribió su obra central como un servicio al monarca, por el cual esperaba ciertas mercedes como recompensa, como era habitual en la práctica discursiva de oficiales regios que escribían al monarca y a su consejo.

Background

The introduction of Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) into the 11th International Classification of Diseases has raised expectations for better treatment options for CSBD. Furthermore, the treatment demand has increased, particularly for pornography use disorder (PUD), a subtype of CSBD. Presumably due to the easy access to Internet pornography an increasing prevalence of PUD is observed. Consequently, providing tailored and effective treatment is essential.

Methods

This article provides an overview of the manualized short-term PornLoS Treatment Program (Pornografienutzungsstörung effektiv behandeln– Leben ohne Suchtdruck; translation: Treating pornography use disorder effectively - life without craving). The program combines 24 individual and 6 group psychotherapy sessions with an interdisciplinary approach by offering a novel treatment framework. This includes, e.g., a mobile app, establishment of self-help groups, and access to other social services such as couple counseling. The cognitive-behavioral treatment program contains interventions addressing psychoeducation, cue exposure, impulse control, cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation, and relapse management.

We here also describe the study protocol of an ongoing four-arm randomized controlled trial. The aim is to test two variants of the PornLoS Treatment Program differing with respect to their treatment goal (abstinence or reduced pornography use) against cognitive-behavioral treatment as usual and against a waitlist control group. The primary outcome is the absence of a PUD diagnosis at the end of therapy. The total target sample size will comprise n = 316 patients with PUD across eight study sites.

Results

The results will be presented at international conferences and published in a scientific peer-reviewed journal.

Published: September 2024

O ensino superior vem apresentando inovações, particularmente desde o início do século XXI, reestruturando a sua forma curricular, pedagógica, metodológica e organizacional. No Brasil, na esteira dessas inovações, encontra-se o currículo por competências, considerado um novo paradigma de estrutura curricular que surgiu com mais vigor na década de 1990. Ensinar e aprender por meio da abordagem por competências é criar condições que respondam às situações factuais, que mobiliza vários conhecimentos do nível mais simples ao complexo, por meio de problemas, e que clarifique a relação teoria e prática em busca de uma formação condizente com a vida real, considerando as vertentes do conhecimento, da habilidade e da atitude. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo objetiva apresentar o processo de validação da matriz de competências e descrever a experiência de transposição curricular de um curso de graduação tecnológica em gestão pública. A abordagem metodológica deu-se por meio da pesquisa qualitativa e descritiva, com a análise bibliográfica, documental e grupo focal. Como principais resultados, obteve-se a validação da matriz de competências do curso, tornando-o coerente e interdisciplinar. Concluiu-se que o estudo contribuiu significativamente para um modelo curricular inovador para a formação de tecnólogos e para outras áreas do conhecimento na educação superior.
Patriotyczny tekst tła muzycznego w audiowizualnej reklamie politycznej a postrzeganie cech promowanego aktora politycznego
Authors:   Uniwersytet Bielsko-Bialski, Kubisz-Muła Łukasz
Published: September 2024

The article aims to present the results of two laboratory experiments dedicated to determining whether patriotic lyrics in the background music in audio-visual image spots affect the perception of patriotism of a politician. The research used spots by A. Duda and D. Tusk, whose image is well-established. The results indicate that in case of A. Duda the presence of patriotic lyrics in the music, or lack thereof, did not impact the perceived characteristics of the promoted politician. D. Tusk’s spot, however, when accompanied by patriotic lyrics, showed a lower increase in the perceived intensity of the characteristic in question compared to the ad in which only the instrumental background was used. The findings show that, in certain cases, the influence of the lyrics consists in suggesting the criteria of evaluation rather than transferring the connotations, which does not necessarily improve the image of the promoted politician.

The authors’ purpose in this article is to present the way in which strategic leaders may use analytical tools to operate during crisis. Their actions is based on the idea of six main tasks, the so-called “Six Makings”, that they have to accomplish. The idea of “critical tasks during crisis was presented on the basis of the COVID-19 situation in Poland and the activities carried out by the Polish government and the Polish Health-care System (Strategic Leaders) to neutralize the negative effects of the pandemic, protect the health and lives of citizens, and care for the economic situation. Qualitative data analysis techniques were used in the research process. The authors concluded that in times of crisis, citizens rely on their leaders and believe that they will ensure their security and a swift return to customary. Strategic leaders must guarantee that the organizations and stakeholders they lead are prepared to counter the future challenges — foreseen and unforeseen alike. The “Six Makings” analytical tool, properly used, could significantly improve the accuracy of decisions made and increase the effectiveness of actions taken.
GÊNERO, RAÇA E TERRITÓRIO NA ANÁLISE DOS FEMINICÍDIOS
Authors: Albuquerque Rossana Maria Marinho , Brasileiro de Aguiar João Marcelo , Braz de Macêdo Letícia
Published: September 2024

A proposta apresenta dados parciais de uma pesquisa em andamento, na qual são investigados os feminicídios a partir da espacialização nos Territórios de Desenvolvimento (TDs) piauienses, compreendendo o período entre 2015 a 2020 – correspondentes aos cinco primeiros anos da Lei 13.104/2015, que criou a qualificadora no Código Penal brasileiro. A escolha do recorte territorial se deu tendo em vista que o estado do Piauí elabora o conjunto das suas políticas a partir da divisão em 12 TDs, que articulam os 224 municípios. No presente trabalho, a partir da articulação entre gênero, raça e território, o texto discute as particularidades dos feminicídios no estado, observando os perfis das mulheres assassinadas segundo os registros oficiais da Secretaria de Segurança Pública (SSP/PI), considerando os corpos nos territórios em perspectiva interseccional e a relação corpo-território.
OPTIMIZATION OF FIRE STATION LOCATION USING GEOINFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: Zakharov Georgy V. , Vasiliev Andrey S. , Filippov Vladimir N.
Published: September 2024

The article explores the optimization of fire station location using geoinformation technologies. It is proposed an algorithm based on road network analysis to determine optimal fire station location without considering potential road congestion, as fire vehicles are equipped with special signals for priority passage. The study is held using the example of Sterlitamak, utilizing Shapefile (SHP) and Database (DBF) files containing information about road network geometry and intersections. The research involves several key stages: analysis of the original road network, identification of intersections, development of the optimization algorithm, and its testing. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method: four optimal centers for fire station placement are successfully identified, three of which correspond to actual fire stations considering a 500 m radius circle around intersections. The proposed algorithm serves as a tool for planning and optimizing fire protection infrastructure in urban areas, based on geographic data analysis. The obtained results can be utilized to enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of emergency response in urban settings.
The Digital Society and Discourses of Posthumanism
Authors:   Bauman Moscow State Technical University (BMSTU), Bagdasaryan Nadezhda ,   Dubna State University, Russia, Kravchenko Alexei ,   Dubna State University, Russia
Published: September 2024

The article concerns the problematic of digital society and its conceptual characteristics in the discourses of posthumanism. History of digital society is linked to concepts of post-industrialism, postmodernism and late postmodernism. This approach allows to trace conceptual evolution of the idea. Current state of social theory is denoted as “late postmodernism,” that affects the conceptualization of digital society. Posthumanism seems to be the most relevant discourse among the approaches of late postmodernism. However, this term invokes several methodological difficulties, that the authors tried to solve. Starting from its name, posthumanism seeks to grasp something “behind” and “after” human, thus overflowing and broadening problematic of human. Researchers often mean different and sometimes controversial meanings and ideas by using the term. Still, anthropocentrism of Modern Time is replaced by other projects, that decentralize and melt human subject. Opposing movements, that seek to radicalize human potential, rase as well. The authors divide the spectrum of posthumanism discourses according to the anthropological (humanistic) parameter into the following directions: anti-humanism, which fixes the inconsistency of human in the face of new technologies, nature, external, etc.; postanthropocentrism (posthumanism in a narrow sense), which decentralizes human subjectivity and places human in a flat ontological space, abolishing the binary categories of human and inhuman, living and non-living; transhumanism, which develops humanistic and anthropocentric trend taking into account potential of the latest scientific and technological achievements. In addition, there are other independent movements, that oppose themselves to classical humanism and anthropocentrism. They cannot be unambiguously attributed to any of the mentioned directions.
Rethinking Maps
Authors:   Social Sciences Institute, Maynooth University, Ireland, Kitchin Rob , Dodge Martin ,   School of Environment, Education and Development (SEED), University of Manchester, United Kingdom
Published: September 2024

The authors argue that cartography is profitably conceived as a processual, rather than representational, science. Building on recent analysis concerning the philosophical underpinnings of cartography they question the ontological security of maps, contending that it is productive to rethink cartography as ontogenetic in nature; that is maps emerge through practices and have no secure ontological status. Drawing on the concepts of transduction and technicity the authors contend that maps are of-the-moment, brought into being through practices (embodied, social, technical); that mapping is a process of constant reterritorialization. Maps are never fully formed and their work is never complete. Maps are transitory and fleeting, being contingent, relational and context-dependent; they are always mappings; spatial practices enacted to solve relational problems (e.g., how best to create a spatial representation, how to understand a spatial distribution, how to get between A and B, etc.). The authors contend that such a rethinking provides a fresh perspective on cartographic epistemology, and could work to provide a common framework for those who undertake mapping as applied knowledge (asking technical questions) and those that seek to critique such mapping as a form of power/knowledge (asking ideological questions). They illustrate their argument through an analysis of mapping practices.

Algorithms for Constructing Flow Characteristics of Free Jets Based on the Computational Simulation Results
Authors:   Siberian Fire and Rescue Academy SFS EMERCOM of Russia, Zheleznogorsk, Russian Federation, Pozharkova I. N. ,   Siberian Federal University, Krasnoyarsk, Russian Federation
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the study, to which this article is devoted, is to develop algorithms designed to assess the parameters of free jets based on the simulation results using computational fluid dynamics methods. The characteristics obtained in this way correspond to the boundaries of liquid flows, which are determined visually in computer vision systems, which allows them to be used for validation of mathematical models, as well as machine learning of neural network models describing the processes under study. The article describes algorithms for constructing a line of maximum velocities of a free jet and its approximation with elliptical sections. At the output of the first algorithm, a curve corresponding to the upper limit of the flow is formed. And at the output of the second algorithm, a three-dimensional figure is formed, covering the main stream of the jet. The results of using the developed methods for processing the movement simulation results of a fire extinguishing agent from a fire monitor under the influence of side wind are presented. The analysis of the built line of maximum velocities showed that it forms the upper boundary of the studied flow. The change of the figure, obtained on the basis of approximation by elliptical sections, in the free jet movement direction corresponds to the experimental results of field tests. The proposed algorithms can be used to solve problems such as: validation of computational fluid dynamics methods used for simulation based on data obtained during field tests or observations using computer vision systems, construction of samples for training and verification of neural network models designed to predict the movement of free liquid jets, assessment of various parameters of free jets, development and debugging of algorithms for control of processes in which free jets are used, in particular, in systems for guidance of fire robots, including in case of disturbances.

The article is devoted to the study of the communication component of the US climate policy. In particular, the state of American public opinion regarding global climate change is characterized, approaches to public segmentation for climate communications are determined, communicative challenges to American climate communications are shown, effective communicative messages are analyzed, and the role of the media in conveying climate messages to specific target audiences is determined. It is shown that the segmentation of target audiences for the implementation of climate communications is carried out on the basis of beliefs about climate change, attitudes, risk perception, motivation, values, political preferences and behavior. It was determined that for the formation of public opinion about the causes and consequences of global climate change among the American public, the media is one of the most important channels for the dissemination of climate information.
Differentiation characteristics of the modern anthropogenic landscapes of the North-East slope of the Great Caucasus
Authors:   Baku State University, Baku, Azerbaijan, Sadullayev Rashad Rahib
Published: September 2024

The study of the differentiation characteristics of modern anthropogenic complexes is one of the main issues of landscape science. The dynamics and forecasting of anthropogenic landscapes have an important role in the effective placement and proper management of regional farms, as well as in the organization of natural environment protection. Within the Republic of Azerbaijan, the modern anthropogenic landscapes of the northeastern slope of the Great Caucasus were formed under the influence of complex long-term geographic-historical-economic factors. Compared to the other regions of Azerbaijan, the modern anthropogenic complexes of the northeastern slope of the Greater Caucasus are distinguished by their unique differentiation characteristics. The study of these regularities based on Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and satellite images (Landsat 7 ETM+, Landsat 8, CNES/Airbus) is of scientific and practical importance. The natural landscapes of the north-eastern slope of the Greater Caucasus have undergone fundamental transformation and have been replaced by various anthropogenic complexes during historical periods. From the coastal plains of the Caspian Sea to the Main Caucasus Range, the following anthropogenic complexes alternate: agro-irrigated landscapes of plains-lowlands (Samur-Devachi lowland), winter pastures and meadows, dry and episodic irrigated agrolandscapes of sloping plains (Gusar sloping plain), episodic highlands summer pastures and meadows of used subalpine-alpine meadows, subnival-nival landscapes of the highlands that are not changed experimentally. The differentiation and structural-functional characteristics of the North-Eastern slope of the Great Caucasus were studied by us on the basis of satellite images with the application of GIS. Regional satellite images show the intensity, extent of anthropogenic impacts, distribution over the area, etc., using the NDVI analysis method (unsupervised classification). Modern anthropogenic landscapes of the north-eastern slope of the Greater Caucasus are distributed along the vertical belt: 1) sharply changed natural complexes of lowlands and foothills; 2) fundamentally changed natural complexes of the middle highlands 3) natural complexes of the highlands that maintain their original state (practically unchanged). According to our analysis based on GIS, 98% (40,000 ha) of perennial crops, 93% (41,351 ha) of mowed areas, and 95.4% (107,900 ha) of cultivated areas are located at the altitude level of -28 m and -1000 m. 62% (272,740 ha) of the hypsometric step of the north-eastern slope of the Greater Caucasus up to 1000 m has been assimilated through agrolandscapes, and up to 10% (43,416 ha) through seliteb complexes.

Проведен анализ различных архитектурных методов обеспечения аппаратной безопасности в устройствах Интернета вещей и оценка того, насколько они эффективны и практичны. Проведено сравнительное исследование различных аппаратных механизмов безопасности, таких как доверенные платформенные модули (TPM), физические неклонируемые функции (PUF) и аппаратные модули безопасности (HSM). Информация собрана из нескольких внедрений Интернета вещей (IoT) в промышленности, здравоохранении и потребительском секторе. Показано, что PUF имеют заметные преимущества с точки зрения различимости и защиты от физического вмешательства, в то время как TPM предлагают широкие возможности безопасности, но с более высокими затратами и уровнем сложности. Модули высокой безопасности (HSM) были признаны наиболее эффективным выбором для сред с высокими рисками, требующими строгих мер безопасности. Выбор подходящего метода безопасности для приложений Интернета вещей зависит от конкретных требований и опасностей, связанных с каждым приложением, поскольку не существует универсального аппаратного механизма безопасности. Изложена фундаментальная структура для выбора и реализации мер аппаратной безопасности в проектах IoT, повышающая устойчивость устройств к нарастающим киберугрозам.

The objective of this article is to reflect on whether the poverty of Latin American women generates the violation of their human rights, focusing comparatively on Mexico and Colombia; and the unit of analysis established for the development of this article is to examine poverty and the violation of human rights of Latin American women, between the years 2018 and 2022, as a case study of Mexico and Colombia, trying to identify whether the covid-19 pandemic had a real effect on the population of this vulnerable group. the main indicators examined are: population by sex and indigenous origin, multidimensional poverty, type of settlement, recognition of the head of the household, educational level and lack of access to health services and methodologically the design of this research is socio-legal for law with a quantitative approach, since, to carry it out, the national household income and expenditure surveys (ENIGH’S) for the periods 2018 and 2020 were taken as information bases, in Mexico and Colombia the report was used of sociodemographic statistics applied to the AWA people in 2018. subsequently, the Stata 13.0 econometric program was used. for the analysis of the databases and carrying out the calculations presented in this investigation. the main findings of the study determine that, on the side of the hypothesis it posed, that the poverty of indigenous women has increased from the period 2018 – 2020, this was due to the economic conditions experienced by the covid-19 quarantine, and its once again, the impact on this social group is observed and a greater tendency towards poverty exists between this group and the rest of society, which is why it is concluded that the situation of indigenous women is worrying in both Mexico and Colombia. therefore, to the repercussions of covid-19, other violations of rights are added that have historically become repetitive, such as the lack of access to comprehensive health services, including sexual and reproductive health, structural discrimination, and violence, both for reasons of gender and ethnicity, as well as other barriers in access to state protection services, including social protection services, access to justice, education, and decent sources of employment.

Published: September 2024

The state of Michoacán, located in the Republic of Mexico, is recognized for its cultural and tourist wealth. With 113 municipalities, it offers attractions such as traditions, gastronomy, archaeological sites and natural beauty. Michoacán is home to 6 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which highlights its tourist importance. However, the lack of a strategic focus has limited the full use of these resources and the creation of competitive advantages in the cultural tourism sector. To address this problem, the use of the Blue Ocean Strategy is proposed, an innovative approach that seeks to create new markets without competition and offers growth opportunities. Specific objectives are set to develop strategic proposals, that boost cultural tourism in Michoacán and the results obtained, from surveys applied to tourists are analyzed. The strategies include strengthening promotion, highlighting gastronomy and traditions, creating guided cultural routes and improving the conservation of tourist areas, among others.
Redirigir la mirada

Published: September 2024

Este artículo aborda la tercera novela de Miguel Ángel Hernández, El dolor de los demás (2018), con el objetivo de analizar diferentes decisiones formales tomadas por el autor, también narrador y protagonista del relato, que le permiten llegar a una serie de conclusiones relevantes acerca del propio proceso de investigación que acomete y sobre el modo más pertinente de afrontar un evento traumático y plasmar el pasado por escrito. Para este propósito se emplea una metodología híbrida, y se estudia cómo Hernández alterna un doble nivel discursivo —desde el pasado recordado hasta el presente en que se informa sobre la investigación— y reflexiona sobre la ficción; el decisivo rol que juegan las imágenes en el texto; o la importancia de temáticas como la memoria o el duelo.

Published: September 2024

: There is a lack of comprehensive data on the epidemiological characteristics and risk factor profile of adult patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Yemen. This study aimed to determine the epidemiological characteristics of AMI among adult patients in Hadhramout governorate, Yemen.

Aretrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from January 01, 2023, to June 30, 2024, in Hadhramout Modern Hospital, Mukalla, Republic of Yemen. All patients admitted to the hospital with AMI during the study period were included in this study.

We recruited 109 patients with AMI, representing 1.3% of all hospital admissions. The mean age of the patients was 61.56±11.02(35-90 years). Male patients accounted for 56% of patients (n=61), and the most common risk factor was diabetes mellitus 89(81.7%). The common clinical presentation was typical chest pain 98(89.9), while 5 patients (4.6%) presented with cardiogenic shock. Two types of AMI were identified: non-ST-elevation MI 29 (26.6%) and ST-elevation MI 80 (73.4%). All patients were admitted to the intensive care unit, and the mean length of hospital stay was 7.84 ± 2.64 (1-13 days). All patients received dual antiplatelet therapy, while 46 patients (42.2%) received streptokinase as intravenous thrombolytics. The in-hospital mortality was 13 (11.9%).

AMI represents 1.3% of all hospital admissions in our hospital. It is more commonly seen in males as compared to females with diabetes mellitus being the most commonly associated risk factor. The in-hospital mortality was 13(11.9%) representing 4.2% of all mortality in the hospital during the study period. Our studyhighlights the challenge of prevention and management of AMI in our limited-resources governorate. People should be educated about the risk factors of AMI and a well-equipped cardiac center should be provided in Hadhramout Governorate.

Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo investigar como os professores dos Anos Iniciais percebem o bioma Pampa e de que forma abordam essa temática. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória, onde participaram 18 professores dos Anos Iniciais de três escolas municipais de uma cidade do Rio Grande do Sul. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de questionário semiestruturado com 9 questões descritivas que abordavam temas relacionados aos biomas brasileiros, ao bioma Pampa, fauna e flora. A leitura dos dados seguiu a técnica de análise de conteúdo, que constituíram cinco eixos temáticos, sendo: elementos do cotidiano como possibilidade para o ensino contextualizado; o ensino dos biomas brasileiros: um olhar para o bioma Pampa; Abordagem de elementos pontuais das temáticas investigadas; o uso de recursos didáticos para o ensino das temáticas; razões identificadas para não trabalhar as temáticas. De acordo com os professores, os estudantes possuem um entendimento limitado dos biomas. Entretanto, demonstraram conhecimento sobre o Pampa, embora esse tema não tenha sido abordado no currículo escolar. Destaca-se o ensino voltado para a conservação e conscientização ambiental. Dessa maneira, conclui-se que a pouca ou nenhuma abordagem das temáticas pode estar relacionada com a formação inicial dos professores, onde não são sensibilizados para o Ensino de Ciências, e quando em sala de aula, não percebem a necessidade de realizar essa abordagem. Assim, acredita-se que a contextualização pode contribuir para a integração do cotidiano com o conteúdo científico, tornando as aulas mais atrativas, despertando o interesse e a curiosidade dos estudantes.
