Time series analysis and applications in data analysis, forecasting and prediction
Authors: Le Le-Hang
Published: April 2024

Time series analysis is an essential field in data analysis, particularly within forecasting and prediction domains. Researching and building time series models play a crucial role in understanding and predicting the temporal dynamics of various phenomena. In mathematics, time series data is defined as data points indexed in chronological order and have a consistent time interval between consecutive observations. This can include data such as daily stock prices, annual national income, quarterly company revenue, and more. The advantage of time series data is that it can capture the state of a variable over time. In contrast, the world is constantly changing, and phenomena rarely remain static they typically exhibit variations over time. Therefore, time series data has highly practical applications and is used in various fields, including statistics, econometrics, financial mathematics, weather forecasting, earthquake prediction, electroencephalography, control engineering, astronomy, telecommunications, and signal processing. ARIMA, which stands for Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average, is a widely used time series forecasting method in data science. It is a popular model for analyzing and predicting time-dependent data points. ARIMA combines autoregression, differencing, and moving averages to capture different aspects of time series data. In this paper, we study ARIMA, which is a significant model for analyzing and predicting time series data.

Authors: Luzardo Carlos
Published: April 2024

La investigación estuvo orientada a generar una aproximación  teórica sobre las competencias administrativas del docente universitario en los Institutos Universitarios de Tecnología Públicos de la Costa Oriental del Lago. El estudio de tipo cualitativo, utilizó como modalidad para la recolección, análisis y generación de la teoría, la propuesta planteada por Glaser y Strauss (1967), denominada Teoría Fundamentada. Se utilizó como informantes clave a tres (3) docentes. Para la selección de los informantes clave se consideraron como lo plantea Hurtado (2012), los siguientes criterios de inclusión: (a) docentes con arraigo dentro de la institución, donde cada uno de ellos tiene una implicancia relevante en el desempeño de funciones administrativas; (b) experiencia laboral de más de cinco (5) años con alto nivel académico, científico y tecnológico. Para la recolección de la data, se aplicó una guía de entrevista, construida sobre la base de dos aspectos: los  roles administrativos y competencias del docente universitario para el desempeño de la función administrativa. Recolectada la data, las entrevistas fueron procesadas por medio de la metódica propuesta por el enfoque de teoría fundamentada: codificación abierta, axial, selectiva y, matriz condicional, lo cual permitió el análisis de la data y la contrastación con las teorías referenciales que sustentan el estudio, encontrándose los siguientes hallazgos:  Los informantes coincidieron que los roles administrativos a desempeñar por el docente universitario están íntimamente relacionados con dos aspectos a saber:  la estructura organizativa y  con el ejercicio profesional. Identificaron además un conjunto integrado de competencias relacionadas con sistematizaciones mentales complejas sostenidas por esquemas de pensamiento apoyados en  características técnicas y los factores actitudinales.

The concept of Imminent humanism and its Anthropocentric implications
Authors: Dr.Rajshree Ranawat and Diksha Tripathi
Published: April 2024

Imminent humanism, at its core, is a doctrine that places the human being at the center of philosophical and ethical considerations. It deems humanity as having intrinsic value and asserts the primacy of human interests and concerns. The paper shall concept has profound anthropocentric implications, as it focuses on the welfare, rights, and dignity of humans above all else. Anthropocentrism, in the context of imminent humanism, refers to the belief that human beings are entitled to special consideration and that their needs and desires should be prioritized over the interests of other species or the environment. This perspective stems from the unique capabilities and moral responsibilities that humans possess. Anthropocentric Posthumanism is a philosophical framework that aims to reassess the relationship between humans and the environment, challenging the traditional human-centric view. It advocates for a shift towards a more inclusive and interconnected understanding of existence, recognizing the impact of human actions on the planet. This approach encourages a re-evaluation of our place in the natural world and calls for a move away from anthropocentric thinking. It emphasizes a holistic and respectful attitude towards all living beings and the environment as a whole, while also recognizing the agency and value of non-human entities. Additionally, this philosophy promotes a symbiotic relationship between humans and technology, where both are seen as equal and mutually dependent. Overall, it presents a new way of thinking about the human-nature relationship, fostering inclusivity and sustainability. Our paper is an endeavour to comprehend the concept of imminent humanism in-depth and its ramifications and also to understand anthropocentric posthumanism.
Role Model Of The Education Council On The Performance Of Madrasah Principals And Madrasah Teachers (Private) In Bekasi District
Authors: Son’any Lutfan
Published: April 2024

Research on the Role Model of the Education Council on the Performance of Madrasah Principals and Madrasah Teachers, conducted by sampling 9 madrasahs in Bekasi District, utilizes both quantitative (questionnaires) and qualitative (interviews, observations, and document analysis) methods. The study addresses the lack of attention to education in madrasahs from local governments and relevant educational institutions. This lack of attention leads to various issues regarding madrasah services, facilities, curriculum, performance, low student enrollment, and madrasah output. These issues need to be addressed seriously through oversight from institutions overseeing education, including the Education Council. This institution plays a quantitative control role and three qualitative roles: Advice, Support, and Mediator. Implementing teaching approaches tailored to the characteristics of madrasah principals and teachers is essential. The research adopts a descriptive approach with qualitative methods. Data collection procedures include observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis is conducted interactively and continuously. The findings indicate that the role of the Education Council in improving education quality in Bekasi District still has many shortcomings due to the lack of implementation of the institution's work programs. In conclusion, the role of the Education Council in enhancing education quality in Bekasi District is not optimally executed. The research benefits from understanding and exploring the extent to which the model of the Education Council's role affects the quality of education services, especially for Islamic educational institutions such as madrasahs at the elementary, junior high, and high school levels.
Systembildung interfamiliärer Verträge am Beispiel des Pflichtteilsverzichts durch Abkömmlinge
Authors: Lay Celina
Published: April 2024

Inheriting a family business raises difficult legal and interpersonal issues. While differentiations have emerged as a result of the discourse of contract law, which focus on the persons involved in the contract, the interfamilial contract remains unaffected. The BGB asks about the consumer and the entrepreneur, about tenant and landlord, about employee and employer. However, the BGB does not ask about a relationship of closeness when it comes to the conclusion of a contract. Gradually, however, a more modern discussion is stirring about testamentary freedom and the right to a compulsory portion. The question is to what extent power structures are to be taken into account in the inheritance process.

Published: April 2024

In Lepelle-Nkumbi Local Municipality of South Africa, 200 none-descript indigenous goats ranging in age from one to five years were the subjects of a study that compared the live body weight predictions made by stepwise linear regression, Classification Regression Tree (CART), and Multivariate Adaptive Splines (MARS) models. Several bodily measurements, such as canonical circumference (CC), sternum height (SH), body length (BL), ear length (EL), head length (HL), head width (HW), rump length (RL), rump height (RH), and rump width (RW). The evaluation criteria included the root mean square error (RMSE), coefficient of determination (R2), to decide which model was the best. According to the results, CART outperformed the others, obtaining the lowest RMSE (3.65) and the greatest R2 (0.80). The stepwise regression model outperformed data mining algorithms in male goats. According to the study, CART is a useful statistical technique for defining requirements for producing indigenous goats that are not very special. In addition, when predicting live body weight from body measuring features, the stepwise regression model should be considered.
The Energy Transition as a Portal to Exploring the Justice Dimensions of Global Sustainability
Authors: Hanson Lorelei
Published: April 2024

In this chapter I examine a sociotechnical system deemed central to achieving global sustainability, renewable energy. Through a focus on Canadian policy, I explore carbon reduction through fuel substitution and electrification, common pathways being promoted to advance an energy transition. By combining a transformative climate justice framework with an examination of embodied energy injustices, I centre an interrogation of power and injustice to examine the existing and magnified impacts of low-carbon pathways, particularly on peoples and communities that are marginalized. I argue that the problems of injustice encountered across the energy transition are endemic to achieving sustainability overall, and that we need to ground our ambitious commitments to address climate change and global sustainability in considerations of justice and injustice if we are to make headway on addressing these crises.
Epidemiology of Leishmaniasis
Authors: Kyari Stephen
Published: April 2024

A zoonotic illness of importance to the public’s health is leishmaniasis. Leishmania donovani, Leishmania tropica, Leishmania major, Leishmania infantum, Leishmania chagasi, Leishmania mexican, and Leishmania braziliensis are the most recognised and widely distributed leishmania parasite species, and they are also the ones that cause the disease. On every continent and in more than 90 countries, the disease is present, however it appears to be absent from Australia. The disease is spread by Phlebotomus sandflies, and people, rodents, and other domestic animals act as reservoirs and unintentional hosts. Cutaneous leishmaniasis, diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis, mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, and visceral leishmaniasis are the four ways the illness can present. The spread of the disease, as well as its appearance and reemergence, are caused by risk factors include regional warfare and wars, political instability, migration of people, substandard housing, climate, vegetation cover, p7oor socioeconomic standard of life, and lack of access to quality medical care. To eradicate the disease, particularly in poor nations where it is still a threat, there is a need for increased public education, government involvement, proper surveillance, and disease reporting.
High-Temperature Effect on Plant Development and Tuber Induction and Filling in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
Authors: del Socorro Sánchez-Correa María , del Rocío Reyero-Saavedra María , Edith Jiménez-Nopala Gladys , Mandujano Piña Manuel , Gerardo Ortiz-Montiel Juan
Published: April 2024

Heat stress significantly impacts the physiology of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L.). Regardless of the phenological stage at which thermal stress occurs, the most notable effect consistently emerges in tuber production. Heat stress can disrupt photosynthesis, transpiration, and overall plant metabolism. It is known that various genes encoding enzymes and glucose and sucrose transporters respond to temperature changes, influencing the partitioning of carbohydrates toward storage organs. This disturbance leads to disruptions in starch formation in tubers, affecting their development, and subsequently, the yield and quality of tubers. Understanding these interactions is crucial for developing heat-tolerant potato varieties in the face of climate change resulting from global warming.

New data on the taxonomic composition and ecological characteristics of Late Pleistocene vertebrates and invertebrates from the Lang Trang cave in northern Vietnam are presented. Based on the materials collected in progress of the work of the Joint Vietnam - Russia Tropical Science and Technology Research Center in 2020-2022, various representatives of the Stegodon-Ailuropoda Fauna of the second half of the Middle - early Late Pleistocene of Southeast Asia were identified, including primates Gigantopithecus blacki, Pongo sp., Trachypithecus sp., Presbytis sp., Macaca nemestrina, M. cf. fascicularis, M. cf. mulatta, and Macaca sp., carnivorans Panthera tigris, Neofelis nebulosa, and Arctonyx collaris rostratus, a lipotyphlan Chodsigoa hoffmanni, a bat Ia io, rodents Hystrix kiangsenensis, Leopoldamys neilli, and Rattus rattus, proboscideans Stegodon sp. and Elephas maximus, perissodactyls Tapirus indicus, Dicerorhinus sumatrensis, Rhinoceros sondaicus, and Rh. unicornis, artiodactyls Sus scrofa, S. barbatus, Tragulus kanchil, Hydropotes inermis, Muntiacus muntjak, Axis porcinus, Rusa unicolor, Capricornis sumatraensis, Bubalus arnee, and Bos sp., a crocodile Crocodylus sp., a turtle Cuora sp. and an abundant gastropod association, presented by six terrestrial forms, two freshwater species and a coastal-marine species Ellobium aurismidae. Gigantopithecus blacki, Macaca cf. fascicularis, M. cf. mulatta, Neofelis nebulosa, Chodsigoa hoffmanni, Ia io, Leopoldamys neilli, Rattus rattus, Rhinoceros unicornis, Sus barbatus, Tragulus kanchil, Hydropotes inermis, Axis porcinus, crocodiles, turtles, and most of gastropod species were identified for the first time in the Lang Trang Fauna based on these studies. Of particular interest is the finding of the giant ape G. blacki, one of the latest in the fossil record. The habitats of the fauna are characterized as mosaic biotopes with a predominance of wet stations and the participation of mangrove swamps and coastal lowlands; these conditions could have existed in the area of the cave during a major marine transgression of the early Late Pleistocene.

Published: April 2024

In this work, the degradation of a persistent organic pollutant, pentachlorophenol (PCP) by a green oxydation system based on peroxymonocarbonate (HCO4-) was studied. Different factors including pH, HCO3- concentration, metal ion catalyst, temperature, and UV irradiation were investigated for their effects on PCP degradation. The results showed that among five tested metal ions (Co2+, Ni2+, Fe2+, Cu2+, Mn2+), Co2+ gave the best catalytic activity. The optimum degradation of PCP was obtained at the concentration of HCO3- and H2O2 of 10 mM and 25 mM, respectively, catalyzed by the presence of 0.1 mg/L Co2+ ion at the intrinsic pH value of the system (8÷10). Moreover, UV irradiation remarkably enhanced the radical formation in the oxydation system, which led to higher degradation efficiencies. The results of COD and TOC removal and LC/MS/LS analysis clearly revealed the potential of complete mineralization of PCP by the oxydation system H2O2/HCO3-/Co2+/UV.

This study different salinity was a completely randomized design with 5 treatment (23, 28, 31, 35 and 37 ppt) and different light time was a completely randomized design with 5 treatments (10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 hour) with 3 replicates. The diameter of fertilized eggs measured 0.857±0.150 mm. Hybrid grouper eggs undergo many times of cleavage, hatching time 18h30‟ with the fertilization and hatched rates were 80-85%, respectively. Newly hatched larvae obtained 15,342; 1.35-1.6 mm in size, hatched from 18,050 fertilized eggs. The suitable salinity for incubation of hybrid grouper eggs is in the range of 31 to 35 ‰ with high hatching rate of 80 - 85% and low malformation rate of 0%. The results indicated that there were no significant effects of lighting time on the embryonic stages. Thus, the salinity should be maintained at 31 to 35 ‰, hatched rates were 80-85%. From the above results, we could conclude that hybrid grouper ELEC is predicted that artificial reproduction process and breeding product will be applied on practice in marine of Vietnam in the future.

Values and Educational Growth
Authors: Ogbujah Columbus N. , Amadi Cornelius C. , Berebon Charles B. ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: April 2024

Values---the individual’s or group’s general tastes regarding results or courses of actions deemed appropriate or otherwise, have a synergetic relationship with educational growth. Ordinarily, the values espoused by individuals or groups engender specific types of attitudes that elicit precise sorts of behaviours that open the horizon for definite sorts of educational growth. Conversely, the quality and quantity of educational growth of a nation influence the behaviours of the citizens which generate attitudes that ultimately create values. This rectangular-like bidirectional correlation has a very strong causational angle to it: right values lead to positive educational growth; wrong ones elicit growth deficits in education, and vice versa. This essay establishes the correlation between values and educational growth using Nigeria as a case study. Through textual criticisms, it highlights the causative influence of bad values on the poor educational outcomes in the country and recommends value reorientation to reverse the ugly tide.
Going beyond Positivist Logic of Market
Authors: Joseph George ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: April 2024

In today’s world, on the one hand, the traditional networks of civic solidarity face an increasing number of challenges to overcome in the context of the politically uncontrolled economic modernization. On the other hand, the mere fact that we have become neighbours by virtue of globalization does not make us automatically brothers. At stake is the question of solidarity; civic cooperation in the today specific situation. In order to get a glimpse of the problem, this article attempts to examine some outlines of the current situation of global market economy as it is understood by Joseph Ratzinger. It is an important sign of our times that demands pre-political morality from societies across the world so as to bring about an authentic cooperation.
Ethics in Business
Authors: Ogbujah Columbus N. , Nkama Nympha U. ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: April 2024

One intricate and perhaps, divisive task in philosophy is that of gauging growth in societies. The complexity stems from the reality that everyone seems to possess a template for growth, and so people are wont to use different yardsticks for its measurement. For the technically inclined, the index is science; in civil circles, the measure is perhaps, that of political evolution; and in religious spheres, it is increase in membership/physical structures. Ironically, all the advances arising thereof have been marred and sometimes eclipsed by torrid upheavals: violent overthrow of governments and wars; financial meltdowns; scourge of pandemics; prospects of nuclear combat; religious bigotry; chaotic climate, etc., that make life precarious. Human civilization is on the brink of self-destruct. “Ethics in Business” reimagines the interconnectivity of all spheres of human life, and proposes that the opportunity to redeem our broken world is tied to reengineering the values of trust and loyalty.

The purpose of the work: Review and systematization of scientific knowledge about the experimental model for skin burns in rats. Research methods: From 2018 to January 2022, a bibliographic analysis was conducted in a database that included international journals. Keywords used: A total of 289 studies on rat burn models were identified and 137 were selected. Results: Findings: 54/86 (62.7%) were third-degree burns; 55/103 (75.3%) were secondary; 45/78 (57.6%) were caused by boiling water and 27/78 (35.9%) by incandescent tools and 39/78 (50%) by systemic exposure. 42/116 (36.2%) received postoperative fluid therapy, and the time interval after the burn until the start of the analysis of the results was found to vary from 7 seconds to four weeks. Some issues of burning experiments were discussed. Conclusions: Hot water is the primary method of inducing third-degree burns with anesthesia using ketamine and xylazine after depilation. They were evaluated microscopically in the postoperative period without the use of analgesia or antibiotics. The studies were not very reproducible.

Authors: Singh Ramya , Sharma Archana , Gupta Nimit
Published: April 2024

This research investigates the motivations driving healthcare workers to choose gig work, focusing on job satisfaction, work-life balance, financial considerations, and professional development. Utilizing a structured questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale, data were collected from 384 participants in private nursing institutions across Lucknow, Varanasi, and Kanpur. The study reveals intricate relationships among these factors and their collective influence on healthcare workers’ decisions to engage in the gig economy. The diverse demographic profile underscores the broad representation of healthcare workers in gig roles, emphasizing the need for tailored engagement strategies. Positive correlations between job satisfaction, work-life balance, financial considerations, professional development, and motivations highlight the importance of addressing these aspects to promote gig work among healthcare professionals. Regression analysis establishes the significant impact of factors such as experience, city, gender, age, and job-related factors such as work life balance, satisfaction, financial consideration and professional development and motivations for choosing gig work. These findings provide valuable insights for healthcare organizations and policymakers seeking to understand and support the gig workforce effectively. This research contributes to the existing literature on gig work in healthcare by unravelling the complex interplay of factors influencing healthcare workers’ decisions
La reapropiación del principio de benevolencia en el discurso médico sobre el espectro intersexual
Authors: Jorge Juan Carlos
Published: April 2024

This paper examines the use of bioethical principles in the official medical discourse for the surgical management of these cases. Educational materials on video from the American Association of Medical Schools on ‘differences in sexual development’ were subjected to semi-quantitative analysis. Digital documents available on the web were revised to catalog Latin American countries that allow the change of name and registered sex without the prerequisite of genital surgeries. The reconceptualization of the principle of benevolence from medical humanism is used as a rhetorical strategy to privilege the biotechnical gaze of expert knowledge and to ensure the clinical management of the intersex spectrum. In contrast, the public policy of ten Latin American countries gives priority to principles of bioethics and human rights by not requiring genital surgeries. The principle of benevolence in the official medical discourse of the United States is a failed act by omitting genital surgeries from the discussion and by continuing to privilege expert knowledge. The intersex spectrum allows us to study the intersectionality between sex/gender, bioethics and human rights and reaffirms the need to include these issues in academic training from our latitudes.
Vacuna contra covid-19 : autonomía y responsabilidad social
Authors: Morales Gabriela
Published: April 2024

The fight against covid-19 invites us to reflection and social change. The great scientific technological advance applied to medicine has made it possible for us to have vaccines that turn out to be our only weapon against covid-19. Which, as it is a relatively new, variable disease with no cure, is a cause for concern in societies and that has filled the population with doubts about the decision to get immunized or not. Since the vaccines became available speculation and information crossovers have increased, causing completely justified fear. Reason that drives many to refuse to receive it, making full use of respect for the fundamental principles of autonomy and freedom. While it is true, no one can force anyone to take a treatment. However, the common good and the advantages that we would have if we achieved complete immunization cannot be ignored. Governments have made their effort to guarantee public safety and protection. However, the information regarding vaccines must be timely,accurate and clear to guide us in making a responsible decision, respecting our rights and acting in search of the greatest social good.
La sindemia como campo de reflexión de la bioética social
Authors: Zuleta Salas Guillermo León , Campillo Vélez Beatriz Eugenia
Published: April 2024

Humanity has lived through various epidemics and pandemics, that of covid-19 has been especially shocking, perhaps because we did not expect that in a world like ours, where we enjoy so many scientific and technological advances, from one moment to another our securities will be threatened by a virus, and that it also happened on a global scale with such force. This scenario, which at first seemed to be only clinical, quickly unleashed other problems that indicated that taking care of life is not only thinking about health, that in reality our life is complex and that we have countless relationships and interactions that we need and that go beyond our biological body, which led us to speak of syndemia. Social Bioethics, for its part, as a theoretical development is barely gaining space in the academy, although the intuition that Bioethics is not only clinical has always been present, it still needs to consolidatemore social reflection, without this dimension necessarily passing to be read from Biopolitics, a temptation that usually arises. In this presentation we want to propose the syndemic as one of the scenarios that are opened for the reflection of social Bioethics and the contributions that it can give in the search for interdisciplinary solutions.
Construcción de una concepción arendtiana de la bioética en tiempos de covid-19
Authors: Álvarez Cortés María
Published: April 2024

Hannah Arendt develops basic categories to give meaning to human life, particularly natality, action, plurality and the conception of morality. The capacity for action, which has its origin in natality and the social construction of the human being, in turn guarantees human fulfillment. The violation and non-realization of human fulfillment not only endangers society, but human nature itself. It also generates deep feelings of frustration, particularly when our freedom faces restrictions that are developed within the framework of the protection of the public good. Such is the case of public health. We propose to analyze under an Arendtian conception of bioethics, the main health actions that the authorities have implemented to address covid-19. This implies analyzing their relevance from the perspective of understanding the human condition, i.e. “understanding” as a central concept in HannahArendt’s philosophy. In this context, we seek to go beyond the traditional concept of Arendt’s bioethics, rejecting, in part, that its basis is to be found only in the individual human condition. We then expose the central role of political action, judgment and imagination in building community. From this, we seek to help build the foundations of a new Arendtian bioethics in times of covid-19.
La ecología política como asunto ético : una perspectiva crítica y emancipadora ante las crisis ambientales
Authors: Castaño Aguirre Carlos Alberto
Published: April 2024

Political ecology is recognized as an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary field that is interested in studying and intervening the realities located in specific geographical and historical contexts, problematizing the complex and unequal relationships that are woven between societies, power, and ecosystems. This becomes an important critical field that refers to ethical-political, theoretical and praxis issues in the physical-material and symbolic construction of nature. This manuscript presents a theoretical reflection on certain aspects of political ecology, later raising a critique of the concept of development, which has been stressed from this field for being supported by a reductionist, mercantilist and destructive vision that includes mass production and voracious capitalism as the way to achieve high levels of development. Subsequently, political ecology is recognized as a field that makes social reasoning, feelings and practices about the ecosystem visible, it proposes an expanded understanding of ethics that is not restricted to socially normalized behaviors, butto a praxis that considers other expressions of life (human and non-human) and the tensions, disputes, struggles, resistances and (re)existences typical of the interrelationships and diverse vital networks in a complex world.
La crisis del agua y su uso en la agricultura

Water is a common symbol of humanity, social equity and justice; however, its shortage, scarcity, unequal distribution, competition for its use, pollution, climate change, and lack of an ethical regulatory framework have led to its global crisis. Access to water is a fundamental right linked to the right to health, the environment and food; the latter is closely related to intensive agriculture. The agricultural sector is the main supplier of food worldwide, but it is also the one that uses the largest amount of freshwater available for human consumption (70 %). Therefore, the aim is to analyze the water crisis from its ethical dilemmas, with special emphasis on the problem of water use in agriculture, as well as to establish a proposal for an efficient use of this substancein food production. This review shows the need for strategies for the proper management and efficient use of water, both in agriculture and in other economic sectors, based not only on a legal framework but also on an ethical framework, in which all those responsible for the water crisis participate in the search for solutions.
La biohermenéutica de Jesús Conill : una alternativa a la naturalización y tecnologización de la vida
Authors: García Echeverri Jonny Alexander
Published: April 2024

The continous development of biotechnology and of philosophical transhuman proposals have questioned the existance of human nature. To state or deny a human nature is the necessary pretext to modify technologically the human being and take it to a new Project of being: the bioartfactual. The present analysis reflects on human nature from the perspective of biohermeneutics proposed by Jesús Conill in his work. “Corporal intimacy and human person”. Fort he spanish philosopher, critical hermeneutics represent an alternative answer to the naturalization and techonlogization efforts of life. Two paths have to be walked to formulate a proposal. The first one, to take on the concept of “human nature” from a interpretive perspective, with the intention of correcting the notions of substance and essence. The second one, to advance the experience of corporal intimacy as a way to understand the human person and the value of it’s dignity. In this way, it is expected, that the efforts to winnow oroutgrow the traditional notion of human nature, will be reflected in an autonomous moral that qualifies the person to judge it’s own actions and the actions of others. Just as Zubiri and Laín had taught, being a person is a Project of appropiation and self delivery.
Yo soy, el Señor, tu médico (Éxodo 15, 26) : Biblia, salud, y medicina
Authors: Cardona Ramírez Hernán
Published: April 2024

The formulation of public policies for the health of citizens must dialogue with the problems and dilemmas of the context. Bioethics and ethical action must generate awareness in the processes of social change. A leader with these traits was Jesus of Nazareth, recognized as a doctor or healer in the first century, who put health at the center of social justice. The narrative method uncovers the suffering of Palestinian society under Roman rule. Justice and law seem attainable only with a violent change of powers. Jesus chose a path other than violence, he went through towns and villages like a doctor, and the simple people showed the people whom he healed and gave back their dignity and identity. Jesus was interested in the physical health of human beings; is the meaning of the word “savior”. The leading role of bioethics and health in human history appears in ancestral culture, in the gospels and, in the Bible, it is a trait of God the Creator, it is enough to bring the concluding sentence of Exodus 15, 26, which Martin Luther translated: “I am, the Lord, your physician”.
Territorio y bien común : una propuesta de diálogo fraterno
Authors: Echeverri Rendón Pablo
Published: April 2024

We want to present some principles derived from the encyclicals Laudato Sí and Fratelli Tutti, of Franciscan inspiration, which could be used from bioethics, and would allow decision makers and technicians who accompany them some guidelines for the planning of the territory that they have these three elements: the space as a natural element, the community that in habits it and the power relations that contribute to its ordering. For this, it is necessary to understand that the territory is made up of different visions of the same space in which the natural and the anthropic are mixed, generating a varied and complex network of relationships. When analysing a territory, it must be considered its physical-spatial components and the different relationships woven with the communities that inhabit it, shaping their identities, loaded with cultural, social, economic, and political experiences, among others, that give theplace particular characteristics that help to differentiate it from other spaces. Therefore, the territory is the base and sustenance of the different communities that inhabit it, where it is determined by them, generating different scales of understanding, boundaries and collective experiences, that print their quality of complex socio-ecological space and in constant change, which is why it is necessary to establish a fraternal dialogue between decision makers and communities that allow the common good and justice between generations and achieve the protection of their biological and cultural diversity.
Pengaruh Jumlah Epoch dan Step Per Epoch Terhadap Performa Mask-RCNN pada Deteksi Objek Tanda Tangan

Tanda tangan merupakan kegiatan formil yang digunakan untuk menyatakan persetujuan dan juga memastikan identitas dari oarang yang membubuhkan tanda tangan untuk sesuatu yang berimplikasi pada hukum atau tidak. Akademi Komunitas Negeri (AKN) Pacitan merupakan Perguruan Tinggi yang menyelenggarakan pendidikan vokasi setingkat diploma dua. Salah Satu syarat kelulusan mahasiswa di AKN pacitan adalah telah menyelesaikan proyek akhir yang dilakukan di semester empat dan didokumentasikan dalam bentuk laporan proyek akhir. Laporan yang dianggap layak untuk dipublikasikan adalah laporan yang telah ditandatangani oleh pengawas dan penguji pada lembar pengesahan. Namun dalam kegiatannya terdapat beberapa oknum yang melakukan penipuan dengan memalsukan tanda tangan sehingga laporan proyek tersebut akhirnya dinyatakan layak untuk dipublikasikan. Tentu hal tersebut jika tidak ditangani secara cepat akan berdampak pada kualitas dari laporan proyek akhir mahasiswa. Dengan memanfaatkan teknologi image capture, penulis mengusulkan suatu model yang dapat digunakan untuk deteksi tanda tangan. Metode Mask RCNN merupakan keluarga dari Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) yang memiliki kemampuan untuk mendeteksi objek pada sebuah citra. Metode ini merupakan pengembangan dari metode sebelumnya yang menggunakan ROIAlign yang mampu memberikan Presisi Rata-Rata di atas 90%. Mask RCNN menggunakan epoch dan batch size untuk mendapatkan model optimal dengan eror komputasi minimum. Selama penelitian, penulis melihat korelasi antara epoch dan step per epoch untuk mendapatkan perhitungan loss yang minimal. Dari percobaan yang dilakukan, didapatkan perhitungan loss minimum pada epoch ke-40 dan step per epoch sebesar 500.
