La evaluación continua, un incentivo que incrementa la motivación para el aprendizaje
Authors: Monforte García Gabriela , Farias Martínez Gabriela M.
Published: October 2023

El aprendizaje se entiende como la capacidad de analizar, comparar, probar y comprobar hasta llegar a una afirmación capaz de relacionar la hipótesis de estudio con las evidencias observadas (Peñaloza y Vargas, 2006). Para conseguirlo se requiere de conocimientos previos que den un soporte conceptual a los nuevos contenidos y a la disposición del estudiante para vincular de forma estructurada a ambos. Una manera de apuntalar el objetivo anterior es a través de la evaluación continua, ya que esta metodología permite al estudiante tener el control de su aprendizaje. Como resultado de esta investigación, se propone el uso de la evaluación continua como vía para incrementar la motivación por el aprendizaje y como consecuencia se esperaría observar un aumento en los indicadores del desempeño de los estudiantes del curso de Métodos Estadísticos para la Toma de Decisiones. Para validar los objetivos de esta investigación se realizó una comparación de un grupo de estudiantes que fueron evaluados con el método tradicional respecto a un grupo de estudiantes a los que se les evaluó de manera continua. Los resultados de la investigación: cuantitativos, a través de la calificación y cualitativos, a través de la percepción, dan evidencia de mejoría en el desempeño de los estudiantes.Palabras clave: Evaluación continua, Aprendizaje, Educación superior, Desempeño académico, Control del aprendizaje.Learning is the process to foster the ability to analyze, compare, prove and test until reaching a conclusion capable of relating a study hypothesis to observed evidences (Peñaloza y Vargas, 2006). To achieve this, previous knowledge, that adds conceptual support to new content, and the student's disposition are required to make a structured link between both of them. One way to enforce this objective is through continuous evaluation, given that this methodology enables the student to have control over his/her learning process. As a result of this research, the use of continuous evaluation is proposed as a way to increase the student's motivation for learning and, as a consequence, it's expected to observe an increase in the student's performance indicators in the Statistical Methods for decision making course. To validate the results of this research, a comparison was made between a group of students that was evaluated through the traditional method and one that was evaluated continuously. The quantitative findings of this research, through grades, and qualitative ones, through perception, show evidence to state that continuous evaluation contributes in the improvement of the student´s performance.Keywords: Continuous Assessment, Learning, High Education, Academic performance, Learning monitoring.

Authors: Li Wei , Solihin Mahmud Iwan , Nugroho Hanung Adi , Raju Valliappan
Published: October 2023

This paper primarily focuses on the research of industrial component surface defect detection algorithms using deep learning techniques. Taking the example of defect detection in the injector valve seat of automotive engine components, currently, the inspection of such small components heavily relies on manual visual inspection or traditional machine vision methods. Manual visual inspection is inefficient and cannot guarantee the speed and accuracy of detection. Traditional machine vision methods, while efficient, are sensitive to harsh environmental conditions and can be influenced by factors such as lighting, camera positioning, and background, resulting in poor robustness and limited feature extraction capabilities. To address these issues, this paper conducts research on a deep learning-based surface defect detection algorithm for injector valve seats.

The unseen face of resource rationalization in medical practice
Authors: Buta Mircea Gelu
Published: October 2023

The rationalization of care, leading to lacking medical goods, represents a broad moral geography that encompasses important, often unarticulated social values, as well as dilemmas regarding the nature and purpose of medical care as a social good. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted a shortage of intensive care units, prompting health officials to develop or revise protocols for admitting patients to intensive care units. Christian bioethicists argue that the way we choose to allocate medical resources reveals our fundamental beliefs about the obligations we have to the most vulnerable, especially the sick and dying.
Influence of Hydraulic Oil Brands on the Completeness and Accuracy of Diagnostics of Hydraulic Units of Russian and Foreign Production
Authors: Ionov Pavel A. , Senin Petr V. , Zemskov Aleksandr M. , Pyanzov Sergey V. , Salmin Vladimir V.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. Russian and foreign manufacturers of volumetric hydraulic drives recommend using hydraulic oils (working fluid) from certain manufacturers for their hydraulic units: Lukoil, Gazpromneft, Mobil, Hydrau Gard, SHELL, Total, etc. The oils have different physicochemical properties, because of different additive packages in their composition. However, changes in these properties during operation are a negative factor. In this regard, the physicochemical properties of the power fluid will affect the determination of diagnostic parameters, namely their accuracy and reliability. Therefore, when monitoring the technical condition of volumetric hydraulic drives in bench equipment, it is necessary to use hydraulic oil, with constant physico-chemical properties. To select power fluid for determining the parameters of diagnosing new and existing volumetric hydraulic drives of Russian and foreign production with a minimum error, it is necessary to conduct experimental studies.
Aim of the Article. The study was aimed at determining the dependence of changes in the parameters of diagnosing new and operating hydraulic units of Russian and foreign production on the power fluid temperature.
Materials and Methods. As power fluid there were used Hydraulic oils MGE-46B and SHELL TELLUS S2 V46 recommended by manufacturers for volumetric hydraulic drives НST-90, НST-112 and Danfoss Power Solutions 90-series respectively. During the experiment, the volume efficiency and torque of volumetric hydraulic drives were tested as diagnostic parameters. The tests were carried out on specialized bench equipment in accordance with the requirements (methodology) of the manufacturers.
Results. Experimental studies presented in the article have shown that the changes in the temperature of the power fluid affect significantly the accuracy of the diagnosed parameters of hydraulic units under study. It was found that the power fluid SHELL TELLUS S2 V46 allows reliably determining the diagnostic parameters of new and having operating time domestic hydraulic units. Optimal temperature ranges equal to 60...69 °C were obtained for power fluid – MGE-46V when testing new and having operating time foreign hydraulic units Danfoss Power Solutions 90-series.
Discussion and Conclusion. It has been found that the power fluid MGE-46B in optimal temperature ranges ensures the completeness and high accuracy of diagnosing new and having operating time hydraulic units of Russian and foreign production in accordance with the requirements of GOST 17108 and manufacturers.

Authors: Ludmány Balázs , Domokos Gábor
Published: October 2023

While three-dimensional measurement technology is spreading fast, its meaningful application to sedimentary geology still lacks content. Classical shape descriptors (such as axis ratios, circularity of projection) were not inherently three-dimensional, because no such technology existed. Recently a new class of three-dimensional descriptors, collectively referred to as mechanical descriptors, has been introduced and applied for a broad range of sedimentary particles. First-order mechanical descriptors (registered for each pebble as a pair {S, U} of integers), refer to the respective numbers of stable and unstable static equilibria and can be reliably detected by hand experiments. However, they have limited ability of distinction, as the majority of coastal pebbles fall into primary class . Higher-order mechanical descriptors offer a more refined distinction. However, for the extraction of these descriptors (registered as graphs for each pebble), hand measurements are not an option and even computer-based extraction from 3D scans offers a formidable challenge. Here we not only describe and implement an algorithm to perform this task, but also apply it to a collection of 271 pebbles with various lithologies, illustrating that the application of higher-order descriptors is a viable option for geologists. We also show that the so-far uncharted connection between the two known secondary descriptors, the so-called Morse–Smale graph and the Reeb-graph, can be established via a third order descriptor which we call the master graph.
Una historia sin fin: narrativa infantil y valores. 300 obras de 6 a 10 años

Published: October 2023

La presente investigación examina la relación teórica entre narrativa infantil y valores. Su objetivo es determinar cómo promueve valores la narrativa dirigida a primeros lectores, de 6 a 10 años, incluyendo cuentos y novelas. Mediante un enfoque comunicativo de la literatura, se demuestra la transmisión de valores en cuanto forma de comunicación “misteriosa” y compleja, en que un autor ofrece a un lector implícito determinadas estrategias narrativas textuales y paratextuales. Dichos mecanismos impactan en el lector de un modo estético, emocional o más directamente ético, favoreciendo su empatía y sensibilización hacia un valor presentado como un bien. La tesis se estructura en tres capítulos: el primero presenta un marco teórico que fundamenta la capacidad de la narrativa infantil de evocar valores; el segundo capítulo ofrece un modelo de análisis que examina los valores de una lectura infantil desde un estudio cercano al texto y la forma misma, y lo aplica en cinco narraciones; finalmente, el tercero propone un corpus integrado por 300 obras, ejemplificador de 25 valores recurrentes en la narrativa infantil. En definitiva, el estudio retoma la discusión iniciada por los clásicos en torno al «educar deleitando», desde la perspectiva de la literatura infantil.
EFEITOS DO DECRETO 10.833/21 SOBRE A PRODUTIVIDADE DAS CULTURAS DE SOJA E MILHO NOS MUNICIPIOS DE MATO GROSSO

A liberação de agrotóxicos provocou aumento na comercialização, como também, a fiscalização por meio do controle realizado pelo governo de Mato Grosso. O consumo cada vez maior de agrotóxicos pode produzir um efeito positivo na produtividade e no rendimento das culturas de produção extensiva. Conhecer os efeitos da utilização dos agrotóxicos pode auxiliar produtores e governo na elaboração de políticas para o desenvolvimento da cadeia produtiva de soja e milho. O objetivo do trabalho é avaliar os efeitos da comercialização de agrotóxicos proporcionados pelo decreto 10.833/21 e a relação com produtividade das culturas de soja e milho em Mato Grosso. Para a realização dessa pesquisa, foram consultados dados de quantidade produzida, área plantada e colhida, valor da produção e rendimento kg/hectare disponibilizados pelo Instituto Matogrossense de Economia Agropecuária - IMEA. As informações sobre registro de agrotóxicos foram obtidas por relatório de comércio do INDEA-MT. O estimador utilizado foi o modelo de diferenças em diferenças. Os resultados apresentados dão conta de que após a aprovação do decreto 10.833/21, de liberação de agrotóxicos, houve um aumento da produtividade média, ou seja, o rendimento em kg/hectare, considerando as duas culturas de soja e milho em 10.94% nos municípios que produzem ambas as culturas em Mato Grosso. Ao se considerar as estimações por sacas/hectare, o rendimento sobre para 17%. Isso demonstra que o decreto proporcionou uma maior comercialização e por consequência, uma maior aplicação de pesticidas, melhorando consideravelmente a produtividade das lavouras de soja e milho.
NONLINEAR FORCED CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER IN A COMPOSITE AIR/POROUS LAYER WITH PERMEABLE TOP AND BOTTOM BOUNDARIES AND ENERGY SOURCE: DIFFERENT PENETRATION DEPTH OF PATTERNS
Authors: Sagitov Rafil V. , Kolchanova Ekaterina A.

This paper deals with nonlinear convective heat transfer in a composite heat-generating air/porous system bounded by the top and bottom solid permeable planes of equal temperature and forced by a vertical throughflow. In the presence of a uniform energy source, penetrative convection originates over this throughflow. It is numerically simulated by the finite difference method and Newton's method. The paper extends previous studies by considering the evolution of the supercritical and subcritical nonlinear convective patterns of a different penetration depth, increasing the supercriticality r from 0 to 2, Pèclet number Pefrom - 6 to 5, and depth ratio d from 0.05 to 0.20. The convection together with the basic throughflow contributes to the total heat transfer rate and improves thermal performance of the partial porous system. The case can find its application, for example, in storing the biologically active plant products releasing heat. The short-wave convection localized in the upper air layer appears over the upward throughflow with Pe > 0. Its relative contribution to the total heat flux is much smaller than that of the basic throughflow and decreases with increases in the values of Pe and d. Both local and large-scale convective patterns can initiate over the downward throughflow with Pe < 0. Their relative contributions to the total heat flux grow with increasing the absolute values of Pe and d. The large-scale convection that covers the air and porous layers at Pe = -6, d = 0.05 enhances heat transfer more effectively than does the local one occurring within the air layer.
