Procesos de decodificación y comprensión en la lectura de niños de primer grado
Authors: Fernández Valeria Abigail
Published: January 2025

La presente investigación analiza los procesos de decodificación y comprensión lectora en 44 niños de escuelas públicas y privadas de la ciudad de Salta. Este estudio observa las rutas de acceso a la lectura (Jaichenco, 2009), léxica y subléxica, que utilizan los niños, predominando el uso de la primera. Para evaluar la comprensión del principio alfabético, se realizaron entrevistas individuales a niños de primer grado mediante la lectura de un libro con pictogramas que contenía la letra de una canción previamente aprendida.
Se observó que la mayoría de los niños leen utilizando la vía léxica en la mayoría de los casos, aunque también hacen uso de la vía subléxica para palabras desconocidas o poco familiares. Los entrevistados que no leen dependen del contexto para interpretar el contenido del libro. Además, se identificaron dos niveles de interpretación y se enfatiza la importancia de la conciencia fonológica en el aprendizaje de la lectura.
Una mirada sobre la enseñanza universitaria
Authors: Monetti Elda
Published: January 2025

Resumen
La universidad es una creación de la Edad Media que hoy, en pleno siglo XXI, sigue existiendo, transformada, acompañando en mayor o menor medida los cambios y mutaciones que la historia del hombre occidental ha recorrido. Aun cuando a lo largo del tiempo fue adoptando múltiples funciones, la docencia y la investigación no solamente se mantienen hasta el día de hoy sino que se presentan como rasgos institucionales identitarios. El encargado de desempeñarlas es un mismo actor: el docente.
Este trabajo se enfoca en una de las actividades a su cargo: la enseñanza. Los objetivos del mismo son: delinear su definición a partir de abordarla desde diversas perspectivas teóricas como son, entre otras, la pedagógica,  la didáctica y la discursiva; plantear las condiciones de posibilidad de su realización en la universidad hoy y dar visibilidad a prácticas naturalizadas centradas en la enseñanza universitaria que nos permiten repensar su lugar dentro de la institución educativa.

Los empleos no tienen género: desigualdad y discriminación de género en el mercado laboral
Authors: Ligarribay Victor Hugo
Published: January 2025

En el presente ensayo nos proponemos abordar analíticamente la problemática de la discriminación y la estigmatización social desde la perspectiva del interaccionismo simbólico. Para esto, nos basaremos en el análisis de dos casos puntuales ocurridos en la ciudad de Salta, los cuales fueron analizados en el marco del proyecto de investigación N° 104/21: “El estigma como barrera para la inclusión social” de la Universidad Católica de Salta. Desde una metodología de abordaje cualitativa, que busca recuperar los discursos y los sentidos que las y los propios actores tienen sobre su realidad y los prejuicios que cotidianamente enfrentan, este trabajo intenta identificar los mecanismos que, apoyados en criterios ideológicos de discriminación, garantizan la reproducción de las desigualdades sociales presentes en el mercado de trabajo local.

El Revés de la trama sobre el debate de la última palabra jurisdiccional
Authors: Suarez Paula Soledad
Published: January 2025

En oportunidad de rendir homenaje a nuestro plexo jurídico de base por los treinta años desde su última reforma, consideramos abordar en este artículo el tema de los tratados internacionales de derechos humanos que han sido incorporados a nuestro derecho positivo interno mediante el artículo 75 inciso 22 y la correspondiente protección multinivel de los derechos fundamentales dentro del Sistema Interamericano de Protección de los Derechos Humanos.
Con motivo de situaciones de conflicto que genera el comportamiento de los justiciables, que deben ser juzgadas en el ámbito de los Estados adheridos a diversos pactos internacionales, han surgido dificultades para dilucidar quiénes son los jueces que deben intervenir en última instancia para resolver tales controversias.
La complejidad reside en que dichos Estados, al tiempo del juzgamiento, se amparan, muchas veces, en normas de orden interno que hacen a la denominada “identidad constitucional” del Estado.
El problema se suscita cuando esa “identidad” entra en conflicto con principios volcados en el tratado, pero también cuando existen controversias acerca de cuál es el órgano que debe resolver esa cuestión, de tal manera de validar la decisión en el ámbito interno de cada nación y en el ámbito de la comunidad internacional.

La Gestión urbanística en la provincia de Salta
Authors: Fernandez Fernandez Pedro Daniel
Published: January 2025

En la última década, en la Provincia de Salta (Noroeste Argentino) se han generado múltiples instrumentos de planificación territorial de escala provincial, metropolitana y municipal. De acuerdo a los resultados de la investigación, la mayor parte de esos instrumentos no se han reflejado en impactos territoriales concretos y tangibles. Por el contrario, se han intensificado y profundizado los conflictos de insustentabilidad urbana y territorial, especialmente en el ámbito geográfico sobre el que se focaliza el proyecto, el Área Metropolitana del Valle de Lerma.
El estudio identifica como causa raíz de esta situación la debilidad de capacidades institucionales de los organismos responsables de la gestión territorial, por lo cual incluye contenidos propositivos orientados a la conformación de un Sistema Integrado de Gestión Territorial, basado en programas de mejora continua y la utilización de Indicadores Críticos de Desempeño, que facilite la materialización del Modelo Territorial sostenible planteado en el proyecto
Extended Advanced Temporal, Face’s Neck Deep SMAS Lift
Authors: B Bizrah
Published: January 2025

The goal of extended deep plane face and neck lift for the temporal, facial, and neck regions is to minimize the visible effects of aging and
restore a youthful appearance. This technique aims to achieve a smoother contour by tightening the temporal area, laterally elevates the eyebrows,
enhancing the cheekbones and jawline, lifting sagging cheeks, softening nasolabial folds and marionette lines, and addressing neck ptosis, cervicomental angle and the appearance of a double chin. The procedure also targets the restoration of a more youthful, natural look.
Dr Bizrah’s modified vertically extended deep plane SMAS technique is specifically designed to achieve the most optimal aesthetic results while
minimizing complications, particularly facial nerve injuries. This advanced almost vertical technique involves a comprehensive and continuous
dissection of the Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System (SMAS) that begins approximately 8 cm above the auricle, where the incision is placed.
The dissection extends downward through the cheek, incorporating the SMAS layer, and continues down under the Neck platysma along the anterior
border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, extending to the lower neck just above the clavicle.
The expansive dissection area, which spans a larger and longer portion of the SMAS layer, allows for a greater and more natural lift, particularly
in patients with moderate to significant facial aging. The result is a more sculpted and rejuvenated facial appearance with minimal tension on the
skin, which reduces the risk of complications and improves long-term results.
In this article, a detailed, step-by-step explanation of the technique, will be discussed to provide a comprehensive understanding of this advanced
procedure
Labor Migration and Its Causes for Governance: Modeling the Intensity of Threat Impact through a Proposed Methodological Approach: The Example of Ukraine, Within the Periods Before and During COVID-19 and Military Operations
Authors: Shtangret Andriy , Pushak Halyna , Bazyliuk Volodymyr , Kosovych Bohdanna , Yaremyk Myroslav
Published: January 2025

The conducted research is characterized by the originality and complexity of the approach due to the initial consideration of the phenomenon of labor migration from the position of one that has a global nature, significantly affects the dynamics of the world economy and increases in scale and is determined by a number of advantages and threats, and subsequently the generalizations made were used for mathematical modeling. It is proved that labor migration should be considered at least at two levels, that is, the state and each individual who is forced to participate in such processes under certain circumstances. It is specified that we are talking about a number of advantages, but also threats that arise and change due to the influence of key factors at each of the indicated levels. It is substantiated that it is the threats that require attention, the impact of which can become significant, and therefore harm the achievement of a positive effect. The modeling conducted on the basis of real data on Ukraine, which occupies a leading position among labor-exporting countries, over three time periods, i.e. before 2019, from 2019 to 2021, when COVID-19 dominated, and from 2022, as the beginning of a new phase of the military conflict with the Russian Federation, generally made it possible to track the change in the level of impact of threats associated with labor migration. The results obtained can serve as the necessary information basis for making changes in state policy not only in Ukraine, but also in other countries, as well as for each labor migrant to take action to reduce current threats.
The Role of Foreign Shareholders in Online Financial Reporting: A Comparative Study of Malaysia and China
Authors: Alarussi Ali Saleh , Sarpong Sam
Published: January 2025

With the COVID-19 pandemic, using the Internet has become a must for businesses to communicate information to users. One of the main aims of online reporting is to serve users outside the geographic area. The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the association between foreign ownership and the extent of online financial reporting in two developing countries, i.e., Malaysia and China. Foreign ownership is the independent variable and the extent of online financial reporting is the dependent variable, with two control variables, i.e., web presentation and type of industry, which includes six industries, namely industrial products, plantation, property & construction, technology, trading & services, and consumer products. This study uses the agency theory and signaling theory to support hypotheses arguments and results. The sample size of this study consists of 300 companies (150 companies from each country) and the data is collected from the websites of the selected companies. OLS regression in STATA software is used to analyze the data. The findings show that companies in Malaysia do not connect their online financial reporting to foreign shareholders as much as companies in China. Interestingly, the results show that web presentation is significantly associated with the extent of online reporting in Malaysia and China. Industrial products, trading & services, and consumer product companies are positively associated with the extent of online reporting in China, but not strongly significant in Malaysia. The results help regulators and other related parties to enhance the level of transparency amongst listed companies in both countries.
The Effect of Tau on Dynamics of Kinesin Motor
Authors: Xie Ping
Published: January 2025

Kinesin-1 is a motor protein that can perform cargo transport in cells by moving processively on microtubules towards the plus end. Tau, which is expressed at high levels in axons of neurons, is a microtubule-associated protein and can diffuse one-dimensionally on microtubules. It has been shown experimentally that tau can affect the motility of the kinesin motor. Here, an analytical theory is presented for the effect of the diffusive tau on the velocity and run length of the kinesin motor. With no or only one adjustable parameter, which depends on the experimental condition, the theoretical results are in good agreement with the available experimental data. It is found that at a large tau/tubulin ratio, tau has a large effect on the run length of the kinesin motor, with the run length depending sensitively on the diffusion constant of tau. This indicates that the kinesin-based axonal transport could be regulated by the variation of either the concentration or diffusion constant of tau, giving an explanation of why tau can diffuse on microtubules.

Authors:   Korea Real Estate Policy Association, Kim Yu-Soo , Won Jaewoong
Published: January 2025

Consumer demand for PropTech industries that combine IT technology and real estate industries is increasing. PropTech is growing in various industries related to real estate, such as real estate valuation, data provision, and real estate transactions. In particular, as real estate information acquisition through the platform is expected to become active and transactions are expected, the prop-tech industry is expected to be incorporated in the real estate brokerage industry. At this point, this study aims to find out how the growth of the prop-tech industry changes in the real estate market and how it affects the practical use of the real estate brokerage industry. In this study, we investigated whether the real estate big data platform actually helps brokers improve their expertise in the field, increase customer reliability, and increase profitability by improving competitiveness, and analyzed various measurement items and structural equations. The structural model between latent variables created based on the confirmation factor analysis model was analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the real estate big data platform had a positive effect on the real estate market for the expertise, reliability, and profitability of the real estate brokerage among the changes in the perception of the real estate broker. On the other hand, it was found that it would negatively affect the competitiveness of the authorized brokerage business. Although PropTech was generally recognized to have a positive effect on the development of the licensed real estate agent, it suggests that the role of licensed real estate agents is needed to strengthen competitiveness.
The Role of Virtue Epistemology in Resolving Internal-External Debates Taking the Sosa Virtue Perspective as an Example
Authors: Mao Yiheng , Wang Haoru
Published: January 2025

In the development of contemporary epistemology, the evolving research focus of virtue epistemology has shifted towards the rational virtue that generates knowledge, thereby deepening our understanding of the essence of knowledge. Sosa's moral perspective is particularly prominent, skillfully blending the essence of internalism and externalism. Sosa not only retained the emphasis of internalism on the "controllability" of the internal state of the knower, but also absorbed the viewpoint of externalism that emphasizes the close connection between knowledge and the external world. This dual perspective of internal and external cultivation not only enhances the inclusiveness of its theory, but also significantly improves its ability to explain complex knowledge phenomena, opening up new avenues for resolving the long-standing internal and external disputes. Furthermore, Sosa's holistic approach fosters a comprehensive view of epistemic virtue, seamlessly integrating personal introspection with environmental interaction, thereby enriching contemporary debates and fostering a deeper, more nuanced understanding of knowledge acquisition.
Gender Discrimination Against Women in Chinese Workplace
Authors: Li Jiajing
Published: January 2025

This study looks at the persistent issue of gender discrimination in the workplace in China, focusing on the barriers that women encounter because of societal and cultural norms that disadvantage them in both the public and private spheres. The study focuses on the effects of gender prejudice on women's mental health and professional advancement, specifically in the recruiting and promotion procedures. A comprehensive survey disseminated via well-known social media platforms and structured interviews with women who have encountered or observed gender prejudice were both components of the mixed-method technique used. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through the questionnaire, which examined workplace culture, particular cases of discrimination, and the effects on mental health and job satisfaction. According to research, discriminatory behaviors that are made worse by cultural norms and traditional gender roles not only prevent women from advancing in their careers but also significantly worsen their mental health. The study suggests an integrative approach to solve these problems, which includes strengthening workplace regulations, raising awareness, and setting up support networks to promote gender equality. Such actions are necessary to establish a fair workplace that benefits employers and employees alike, which will ultimately boost organizational results.

Intelligent Remote Sensing Scene Classification Model for On-Board Training of Resource-Constrained Devices
Authors:   Mutah University, Faculty of Science, Jordan, Ahmad Ahmad ,   Faculty Of Science, Beirut Arab University, Beirut, Lebanon, Jumayel Josef Al
Published: January 2025

Remote Sensing Scene Classification (RSSC) is the distinctive classification of remote sensing images into numerous classes of scene classifications based on the image content. RSSC plays a significant role in several domains, like land mapping, agriculture, and the classification of disaster-prone regions. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a dynamic global network of devices, for example, vehicles, sensors, actuators, surveillance cameras, etc. These interconnected objects were distinctively recognizable and they could separately transfer and obtain valuable data through the network. However, satellite images were frequently degraded and blurred owing to aerosol dispersion under haze, fog, and other weather circumstances, decreasing the color fidelity and contrast of the image. To use effectual RSSC in real-time, widespread researchers concentrate on creating aerospace image processing systems, like airborne or spaceborne systems. Recently, with the quick improvement of deep learning (DL) and Machine learning (ML) techniques, the performance of RSSC has significantly developed owing to the hierarchical feature representation learning. Both technique has greater achievement in the domain of image scene classification. This study presents a Leveraging Tiny Convolutional Neural Networks with a Water Cycle Algorithm for Remote Sensing Scene Classification (LTCNN-WCRSSC) model. The LTCNN-WCRSSC technique is designed for efficient RSS classification in resource-constrained devices with on-board training capabilities. At first, the LTCNN-WCRSSC model applies image processing using a median filter (MF) to eliminate the noise. Next, the feature extraction process can be exploited by the ConvNeXt-Tiny method. For the RSSC model, the spatiotemporal attention bidirectional long short-term memory (STA-BiLSTM) technique is performed. Eventually, the water cycle algorithm (WCA)-based hyperparameter choice process can be performed to optimize the classification results of the STA-BiLSTM algorithm. The experimental evaluation of the LTCNN-WCRSSC technique takes place using a benchmark image dataset. The stimulated results indicated the superior performances of the LTCNN-WCRSSC model over other approaches.

For many families, pets are not only playmates of children, but also cultivate children's sense of responsibility and love. Through picture books, children can better understand the living habits and emotional needs of pets, thereby promoting their interaction and communication with pets. This paper is based on the content of the picture book based on the theme of "Pet Science" as the research theme. This paper used the questionnaire, literature analysis and retrospective as the research method. The conclusion is that there is a demand for pet science picture books in the market, but the number of picture books is small and the publicity is not strong enough. The content and design of pet science picture books are discussed, and it is concluded that concise and clear text and pictures, rich colors and interactive designs that attract the interest of preschool children are needed, and the size and material should also be considered to be suitable for children.
Efficacy of Membrane Sweeping in Primigravida and Effect on the Duration of Pregnancy
Authors: Sultan Shahida , Qazi Qudsia , Sofia . , Khan Nouman
Published: January 2025

Prolonged pregnancies, defined as those extending beyond 40 weeks of gestation pose increased risks to both maternal and fetal health, including higher rates of cesarean delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, and neonatal complications. Membrane sweeping is a non-pharmacological, mechanical method of labour induction that is often used to reduce the likelihood of post-term pregnancies and their associated risks. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of membrane sweeping in initiating spontaneous labour and its effect on the duration of pregnancy in women with term pregnancies. Methods: A Quasi-experimental study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, from September 2023 to March 2024. One hundred and thirty-six primigravida women aged 40 to 42 weeks who underwent membrane sweeping for labour induction were selected. Effectiveness was assessed in terms of initiation of spontaneous labour. Other parameters considered were maternal and fetal outcomes. Results: Spontaneous labour was successfully initiated in 76.5% of patients and notably reduced the mean gestational age at delivery (40.49 ± 0.591 weeks) compared to those who did not achieve spontaneous labour (41.72 ± 0.581 weeks, p=0.0001). Most patients required one or two sweeps to achieve labour, demonstrating the effectiveness of membrane sweeping in reducing pregnancy duration. Conclusions: It was concluded that membrane sweeping is an effective and non-invasive method for initiating spontaneous labour and reducing pregnancy duration, minimizing the need for medical induction and preventing post-term pregnancies.

Authors: Rashid Farah , Zeeshan Mehwish , Alsaidi Nahla
Published: January 2025

Internet usage has gained an essential role in modern-day life, leading to various undesirable behaviours. Unnecessary internet use can lead to dependence which poses significant mental health risks like depression and specific personality traits, particularly for university medical students, potentially impacting their education and future careers. Objectives: To examine Internet addiction among MBBS scholars and investigate the relationship between excessive internet use, depression, personality traits, and socio-demographic variables in this group. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 206 medical undergraduates from the People’s University of Medical and Health Sciences for Women, Nawabshah, Pakistan through convenience sampling by self-administered questionnaire. The Young's Internet Addiction Test assessed Internet addiction, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 measured depression, and the Ten-Item Personality Inventory and a self-structured questionnaire evaluated personality traits and socio-demographic characteristics respectively. Results: The mean age of the female medical students was 21.72 ± 1.631 years. The majority were Sindhi Muslims and unmarried. In 68.3% of the participants, mild internet addiction was found, with a mean score of 40.76 ± 16.495. Approximately half of the participants experienced depression. Participants with conscientiousness (Type 3) and emotional stability (Type 4) personalities were negatively associated with Internet addiction and positively associated with depression, particularly among second-year students. Conclusions: It was concluded that internet addiction is an alarming issue in medical students, leading to negative outcomes like depression, poor conscientiousness, and emotional stability. Efforts should be made to raise awareness and develop alternatives.

Published: January 2025

Women have responsibilities of home management and raising children, and in recent times, they have been engaged themselves professionally. Objectives: To compare insights into working and non-working women's mental and physical health. Methods: The study was conducted to perform a retrospective and comparative analysis of the sociodemographic status and health of working along with non-working women, as well as their kids. The study included both working and non-working mothers aged 25 to 45 who had their independent incomes. Their children were between 2 and 18 years old. The health factors being studied were bone density, body mass index, haemoglobin, calcium levels, and socioeconomic status (based on Kuppuswamy's scale). Data were analyzed by SPSS version 25.0. Results: The bone scan results of working and nonworking women differ significantly (p-value=0.033), indicating that working women had a little higher prevalence of osteopenia and hypocalcemia than nonworking women.

Published: January 2025

Arabica coffee is the most critical plantation product for Timor-Leste. It is sold on regional, national and international markets to provide income and foreign exchange to rural areas. This study aims to analyze the sustainability of coffee cultivation from an economic perspective. Specifically, we compared the income levels of certified and non-certified coffee farmers and the level of participation in farmer group activities between certified and non-certified coffee farmers. We achieved this through Arabica coffee growers (Coffea Arabica L.). Analyze the indirect benefits. The research site was selected by purposive Sampling, considering that most of the livelihoods of residents in the region are coffee farmers. The study was conducted from July to December 2022. This type of research is descriptive with a quantitative approach. The number of samples used was 180 respondent farmers calculated using the Slovin formula so that the number of pieces for certified and non-certified farmers in each region was 30 people, with the sampling technique used purposive Sampling. The analytical method used in this study is qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis. The data processing method is performed by tabulation and classification on Microsoft Excel software. The results show that the income of certified coffee growers is higher than that of uncertified households. The income obtained by certified coffee farmers amounted to $748.03 per hectare, and B/C amounted to 1.57 for the participation rate. Certified coffee farmers are more active in group activities than non-certified ones, with the highest participation rate in the Ermera district area. Indirect revenue obtained by coffee farmers comes from the value of carbon storage, with an average contribution value ranging from $85.28-98.90 or equivalent to 54.35-82.92% of the total revenue per hectare

Published: January 2025

The goal of air quality forecasting is to predict when air pollution concentrations will reach levels that are unsafe for human health. There are significant regional differences in air quality, hence a generalized forecast model is not effective. It is necessary to develop localized forecast models. It is challenging to identify a more accurate forecast model for any given environment. This work produces an accurate forecast model for the area under study. In this study, air pollution data was acquired from the three different sampling stations in Kaduna, Nigeria. The data was used to train Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models for each of the sampling stations. These models were implemented using feed forward backpropagation (FFBP) algorithm. The simulations of FFBP were performed with a varying number of neurons in the hidden layer. The resulting models were used to forecast the next ten days for each of the sampling station and for each pollutant. Determination of the accuracies of the developed models in forecasting the next ten days was achieved using error performance metrics of Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). The results of the performance metrics from most of the models in the same category are correlated and indicate similar trends. Comparison and analysis of the models revealed the model with the most accurate prediction for each sampling station and pollutant.

Authors:   , Barberis Enrico
Published: January 2025

In recent years, numerous research studies have highlighted that CPU microarchitecture designs are crucial not only for performance but also for security. The release of Spectre and Meltdown in 2018 marked a significant turning point, revealing how microarchitectural optimizations could unintentionally introduce critical vulnerabilities that are exceptionally difficult to address due to the immutability of hardware after production.

This thesis conducts an in-depth exploration of CPU microarchitectures, uncovering new attack surfaces and proposing optimizations to enhance defenses. Specifically, it evaluates the limitations of existing hardware mitigations against Spectre, demonstrating their insufficiencies and exposing pathways for continued exploitation. Furthermore, the research identifies previously unexamined root causes of transient execution vulnerabilities, leading to the discovery of new classes of attacks. In addition, by addressing key microarchitectural bottlenecks, this work introduces a novel way to accelerate memory error detection, a crucial aspect of software security assessment.

By bridging the gap between hardware and software perspectives, this research deepens our understanding of CPU microarchitectures, paving the way for more secure and efficient computing systems.
