Variable damping mechanism and verification of the torsional damper for a parallel-series hybrid electric vehicle
Authors: Zhang Zhongye , Zhai Xumao , Cheng Shibo , Wen Zhiyong , Yao Mingyao , Yan Zhengfeng
Published: November 2024

The torsional vibration of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) powertrain coupled with multiple power sources is more complex, and the hysteresis torque requirements are different under different working conditions. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of the hysteresis torque value on damping performance for torsional dampers under diverse working conditions through modeling and simulation. A configuration for a torsional damper that enables variable hysteresis torque in different working conditions is proposed. Simulation results demonstrate that the variable hysteresis torsional damper reduces angular acceleration fluctuation amplitude by 54.5% during motor-assisted engine starting and by 20.2 % during combined drive conditions compared to traditional dampers, effectively attenuating vibration under two different working conditions. The proposed variable hysteresis torsional damper configuration is verified to meet design requirements for different working conditions.

The article presents the results of a socio-political analysis of the phenomenon of social optimism in its connection with the ideas of Russian citizens about a positive image of the future. The problematic situation is caused by an urgent cognitive demand for awareness of the optimal stable political perspective of society and a predictable personal life strategy of citizens, which should be relevant to socio-political attitudes and social ideas of society about the successful future of Russia. At the theoretical level the authors rely on the provisions of the cognitive theory of "expected value", the concepts of collective efficiency and self-development, mental attitude, political culture, sustainable socio-political development of society as the conceptual scientific foundations of research on modern social reality in the system of objectively established global social and political relations. At the empirical level the authors attract arrays of information from the sociological monitoring "How are you living, Russia?" of the Institute of Socio-Political Research of the Russian Academy of Science, the analysis of which makes it possible to understand the dynamics of social optimism in society, correlations between levels of social optimism and socio-psychological, socio-economic and socio-political resources of Russian society and the state, contributing to or hindering the activation of resource zones of social optimism. The dysfunctions of the formation of a stable state of social optimism are revealed: the preservation of a dominant position in the problem field of factors of material status and security, the blurring of ideological preferences and political attitudes, the short horizon of planning for the personal and the country's future. The socio-psychological and political resources influencing the change in the nature of social mood in general and social optimism in particular, and creating prerequisites for the preservation of the historically established political culture of Russian society are highlighted: national-state identity, social trust, value-semantic component of historical memory and the vector of modernization of state policy. Among the recommendations of scientific and practical priorities, the theoretical search and practical development of effective mechanisms for forming the image of a fair, sustainable multipolar future are highlighted.

Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Budko Diana , Lukyanova Galina ,   St. Petersburg State University
Published: November 2024

The Article is devoted to the analysis of the values of Russians in modern science, as well as the specifics of their study in the virtual space. The purpose of the article is to study the approaches existing in Russian political science and the study of the value basis of modern Russians in the context of digitalization. The text provides an overview of a number of studies conducted by Russian scientists over the past five years on the subject of Russian values. The influence of digital imperialism on the formation of values is considered. As an example of a conductor of traditional and european values, the authors present the results of an original study of YouTube and Telegram channels (using a parser written in Python, a text array of these resources was extracted and a corpus was created that formed the empirical base of the study; a frequency analysis of the occurrence of words was performed; the search was carried out through a specially created dictionary of value words that they are markers of general categories of these types of values). Conclusions are drawing about the prospects for studying the formation and transformation of values in the position of increasing the influence of the digital space.
INDIAN MODEL OF MANAGING ETHNO-TERRITORIAL HETEROGENEITY: ASYMMETRICAL ETHNIC FEDERALISM, INSTITUTIONAL ISOMORPHISM AND PATH DEPENDENCY
Authors:   Perm Federal Research Centre of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Panov Petr
Published: November 2024

The task of managing political-territorial diversity is of great importance in contemporary world due to territorial heterogeneity, primarily ethnic heterogeneity, of the states is increasingly politicized, giving rise to movements for self-determination, risks of separatism and a threat to the territorial integrity of the state. The experience of countries such as India, where a large number of self-determination movements can be found, and a specific model for managing ethno-territorial heterogeneity has emerged, is of particular interest. India has adopted an asymmetrical ethnic federalism, and the trajectory of reforms directed to accommodate the demands of multiple ethnic movements for self-determination tends to be reactive. At the same time, a definite set of institutional solutions has developed in India, so that both the demands of self-determination movements and the ongoing reforms accord to normative/imitative isomorphism. A comparative review of the influence of the Indian model on the accommodation of demands of more than 30 ethnic self-determination movements, carried out on the basis of such parameters as the specificity of the respective ethnic group, the nature of the demands, as well as institutional reforms, allows us to conclude that the effects of the Indian model are ambiguous. In some cases, conflicts have been resolved, but in others they continue, escalate, and sometimes even multiply, as concessions and reforms incite new demands and escalate new movements. The “path dependency” is clearly exposed here: once you take the path of asymmetrical ethnic federalism, it is incredibly difficult to turn away from this path. As regards individual self-determination movements, the effectiveness of reforms is determined not so much by their content as by the context in which they are carried out.
Persona, vacuidad y primera persona
Authors: Montero Jaime , Duvanca Elizabeth
Published: November 2024

Este trabajo pretende examinar la relación entre persona y vacuidad, su incidencia  en el pensamiento de Keiji Nishitani, especialmente, con su idea de primera persona. Igualmente, se reflexiona acerca del carácter problemático del concepto de realidad en relación con el yo, en donde se hace referencia a Descartes, Kant y Husserl y a algunas observaciones de filósofos de la antigüedad griega y romana. A su vez algunos estudiosos actuales de la escuela de Kioto. Esto con la intención de mostrar un camino de acceso a la persona y a la vacuidad. Posteriormente se incursiona en la discusión acerca de la primera persona, imprescindible en la experiencia de la vacuidad, allí tematizamos aspectos de la fenomenología de Husserl en relación con el pensamiento de Nishitani y su idea de persona.
El artesano de los nombres: La presencia del Crátilo de Platón en el Idiota. De mente de Nicolás de Cusa a propósito de la imposición de nombres
Authors: González Rios José
Published: November 2024

Nicolás de Cusa (1401-1464), cuyo pensamiento florece en los umbrales de la Modernidad, se sabe explícitamente heredero de una plural tradición platónica. Con todo, resulta decisiva la presencia de los diálogos de Platón con los que el Cusano tuvo contacto, sea por vía directa o bien indirecta. El propósito de este artículo es estudiar uno de los tópicos centrales de la concepción cusana del lenguaje, esto es, la imposición de nombres a las cosas, a la luz del tratamiento que ofrece en el tercero de los Idiotae libri, el De mente (1450), y evaluar allí la presencia plausible del Crátilo de Platón en su desarrollo. Con ello buscamos ofrecer una clave hermenéutica aún no suficientemente explorada en el ámbito internacional de los estudios sobre el pensamiento de Nicolás de Cusa.
El don que resiste: resto y reducción frente a la metafísica de la presencia
Authors: Espínola Juan Pablo
Published: November 2024

¿En qué sentido se relacionan el don, tal como lo entiende Jean-Luc Marion, y el resto, en el sentido que a este da Jacques Derrida? ¿Podemos afirmar que el don, en sus tres reducciones, opera como resto frente a la metafísica de la presencia? Y también, ¿es el resultado de esta operación un acercamiento del don hacia la donación misma? Este artículo quiere responder a estas preguntas a través de una lectura hermenéutica de la reducción que Marion ejecuta sobre el don en Étant donné, cuyo resultado (o uno de ellos) es la posibilidad de entender al don como un “presente sin presencia” que resiste a la metafísica y obra como resto.
La metafísica como transgresión. La impronta levinasiana en la fenomenología de Jean-Luc Marion
Authors: Roggero Jorge
Published: November 2024

Este artículo se propone indagar en cierta concepción de la metafísica como transgresión, que Marion lee en Levinas y que parece influenciar su pensamiento. Más allá de la crítica heideggeriana a la ontoteología –que Marion acepta–, existe una dimensión práctica de la metafísica, enfatizada por el lituano, que deja su impronta en la fenomenología de la donación.
La coincidencia de lo dado con el modo de darse. El acontecimiento más allá de la metafísica en Jean-Luc Marion
Authors: Paredes Antonio
Published: November 2024

El presente artículo gira en torno a un problema capital en la fenomenología de Jean-Luc Marion: cómo un sujeto pasivo, a posteriori, que es dado en la recepción misma del fenómeno, puede a su vez ser considerado como el sujeto a priori que lleva a cabo (activamente) la reducción a la donación. Eso nos lleva a precisar el surgir del ‶nuevo sujeto″ encargado de esa reducción (el adonado), ‶sujeto″ que es dado como el ‶responsable″ de la visibilidad de todos los otros fenómenos dados. La ‶entrega″ del adonado a lo que aparece supone para nosotros que el adonado forma ya parte de la donación. Si la donación del fenómeno consiste en la vida simple y espontánea del mismo, aquellos fenómenos dados que más de cerca nos conciernen abren la paradójica formalidad de lo que llamamos la ‶coincidencia de lo dado con el modo de darse″. Es en esta coincidencia, en el gesto del ‶don puro″, en el ‶estado de gracia″ del acontecimiento, que podemos salir ya de la metafísica: el ‶don puro″ acontece, con el ‶adonado″, al advenir sin medida, no idéntico a sí mismo y sin razón previa, quebrando los dos principios de la metafísica: el principio de identidad y de razón suficiente.
Lo intolerable (mandato) y lo imposible (anuncio): Nota sobre el sacrificio de la metafísica a partir de J.-L. Marion
Authors: Mingo Alicia
Published: November 2024

Nuestra aproximación al fenómeno saturado en J.-L. Marion se realizará mediante los ejemplos de mandato y anuncio que se dan en el ámbito de la revelación. Con ellos justamente se pretende llamar la atención sobre la necesidad de una fenomenología de la donación que abarque lo que desde nuestra comprensión humana se rechaza como intolerable, e incluso imposible, atendiendo sin embargo a fenómenos saturados que no se limitarían a un determinado ámbito, como algunas críticas parecen sugerir cuando se refieren al “giro teológico” en la fenomenología (Janicaud, 1991). La donación exige ser reconocida, y que no nos opongamos a ella de entrada por nuestras inclinaciones metafísicas hacia la objetividad, el cálculo, el control, la predicción, etc. En este sentido nos referimos a un sacrificio de la metafísica, acreditando la oportunidad para que pudiera desmentirse lo que parece hacerla imprescindible (más que meramente necesaria), y a favor de nuevas posibilidades del pensar y del enriquecimiento de la experiencia. Para ello sería de suma relevancia proteger la confianza en la donación, incluso en los casos más extremos, que en nuestros ejemplos también dan crédito a la libertad.
Idéalisme transcendantal et historicité selon Husserl: Lecture des § 1 à 15 de la Krisis de Husserl
Authors: Housset Emmanuel , Novoa-Rojas Francisco
Published: November 2024

L'article explore la conception husserlienne de l'historicité dans le contexte de l'idéalisme transcendantal, en se basant sur les quinze premiers paragraphes de la Krisis. Husserl reconfigure la subjectivité transcendantale en intégrant l'historicité comme un élément essentiel de l'auto-conscience et de l'intersubjectivité. Le texte aborde les apories philosophiques qui surgissent en tentant de réconcilier la téléologie avec la factualité historique, et montre comment l'expérience du mal devient un catalyseur de la réflexion téléologique. On y examine également la distinction entre temporalité et historicité, tout en réfléchissant à la critique de l'ethnocentrisme husserlien et à sa perspective téléologique. Enfin, l'article analyse la responsabilité philosophique de faire face à la crise de la modernité, en proposant une vision de l'histoire comme une tâche collective et génératrice.
Sens de l’anarchie et anarchie du sens chez Richir et Deleuze
Authors: Schnell Alexander , Alarcón-Alvear Angela
Published: November 2024

Cet article compare les philosophies de Marc Richir et Gilles Deleuze à travers les notions d'« anarchie » et de « sens », en explorant comment celles-ci transforment la phénoménologie classique. Il est soutenu que les deux auteurs remplacent l’approche traditionnelle du sujet par une phénoménologie du Sinnbildung, ou « le sens en train de se faire ». Richir radicalise l’epoché phénoménologique vers une contingence générative, tandis que Deleuze développe une science des effets de surface fondée sur la création de concepts et le simulacre. Tous deux proposent un « soi » dynamique, détaché de la subjectivité traditionnelle, et articulent le lien entre intériorité et extériorité dans des processus de formation du sens. Ce travail montre comment Richir et Deleuze déstabilisent les fondements subjectifs, en proposant une phénoménologie anarchique qui redéfinit la relation entre apparence, simulacre et production de sens.
Diversidade de Colletotrichum spp. agente etiológico da seca dos frutos de açaizeiro no estado do Pará, Brasil
Authors:   , Alves Kezia Ferreira
Published: November 2024

O açaizeiro (Euterpe oleracea) é uma espécie da família Arecaceae e ocorre espontaneamente na Amazônia brasileira. Apresenta grande importância socioeconômica para a região. A Seca dos Frutos é uma doença da cultura do açaizeiro que afeta o rendimento de polpa. Este trabalho objetiva estudar a diversidade do fungo Colletotrichum spp. por meio de caracterizações morfológicas, culturais, fisiológicas e genéticas. Sendo assim, foram coletados frutos com sintoma de seca em 7 municípios produtores de açaí, no Estado do Pará. Após os procedimentos laboratoriais, 20 amostras do fungo foram submetidas a testes de patogenicidade, caracterização morfológica e cultural; avaliações fisiológicas e sequenciamento genético. Todas as amostras do fungo cumpriram os Postulados de Koch. Foi possível evidenciar na caracterização morfocultural 3 tipos de conídios, alterações na coloração das colônias e massa conidial alaranjada na maioria das amostras do fungo. As temperaturas entre 24,05 e 27,89 °C determinaram os maiores índices de velocidade de crescimento micelial (IVCM) dos fungos testados. O resultado do sequenciamento genético das regiões ITS5.8S e β-tubulina, concordou com a caracterização morfológica do fungo, apresentando sequências similares para o complexo C. gloeosporioides. Já o produto de PCR-ITS evidenciou diferentes padrões para as enzimas AluI, HhaI, MspI e RsaI, demonstrando especificidade destas enzimas para o Colletotrichum do açaí. Assim, foi possível comprovar que há variabilidade genética entre as amostras catalogadas para fungos do complexo Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, agente etiológico da seca dos frutos do açaizeiro no Estado do Pará
Biometria de frutos e sementes, estresses abióticos na germinação e produção de mudas de mofumbo (Combretum leprosum Mart.)
Authors:   , Leal Caio César Pereira
Published: November 2024

O mofumbo (Combretum leprosum Mart. (Combretaceae) é um arbusto utilizado para fins medicinais, reflorestamento e recuperação de áreas degradadas. Objetivou-se obter informações referentes à biometria, germinação e a produção de mudas dessa espécie sobre a influência de estresses abióticos. Para isso foram desenvolvidas quatro ações de pesquisa na Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido, Mossoró - RN, de agosto de 2014 a dezembro de 2015. Para a ação I realizou-se a caracterização biométrica com uma amostra de 100 frutos maduros de mofumbo, avaliados individualmente quanto ao comprimento e espessura (fruto e semente), massa de matéria fresca e peso hectolítrico das sementes. As sementes ainda foram classificadas quanto ao aspecto físico em: a) íntegra (normais, sem dano aparente); b) danificadas por inseto e c) mal formadas. Na segunda ação, analisou-se o efeito do estresse hídrico na germinação das sementes. Para isso, umedeceu-se o substrato papel toalha com soluções de polietilenoglicol, nos níveis de potencial osmótico: 0,0; -0,1; -0,2; -0,3 e -0,4 e -0,5 MPa sob as temperaturas de 25, 30, 35 e 20-30 °C. Foram analisadas as seguintes características: germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação, comprimento da raiz e do hipocótilo, massa seca da raiz e do hipocótilo. Para a ação III, analisou-se o efeito da salinidade na emergência de plântulas, utilizando-se fibra de coco como substrato e soluções aquosas de cloreto de sódio (NaCl), cloreto de cálcio (CaCl2) e cloreto de potássio (KCl), nas seguintes condutividades elétricas: 0,5, 1,5; 2,5; 3,5; 4,5; 5,5 e 6,5 dSm-1. As variáveis analisadas foram a germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação, comprimento e massa seca da raiz e do hipocótilo. O delineamento experimental para as ações II e III foi o inteiramente casualisado, com quatro repetições de 25 sementes cada. Na ação de pesquisa IV avaliou-se a produção de mudas com diferentes porcentagens de capacidade de retenção de água do substrato constituídos por 100, 80, 60, 40 e 20%, utilizando-se blocos casualizados com 4 repetições de 12 plantas.As mudas foram submetidas aos regimes hídricos com 40 dias após a semeadura (DAS). Ao final de 90 dias foram feitas as seguintes avaliações: diâmetro do colo, altura de plantas, massa seca de plantas, área foliar, relação altura/diâmetro e índice de Dickson. A diminuição do potencial hídrico acarreta efeito negativo para todas as variáveis analisadas, com nível de tolerância máximo em -0,4Mpa, para todas as temperaturas estudadas. As plântulas de mofumbo apresentam sensibilidade aos três tipos de sais estudados, com uma moderada tolerância a soluções salinas de CaCl2. A capacidade de campo em torno de 70% se mostrou mais eficiente para a produção de mudas de mofumbo bem como o uso da capacidade de campo abaixo de 40% e acima de 80% reduz drasticamente o desenvolvimento das plantas

Published: November 2024

Poverty is one of the unresolved problems in Indonesia. This problem should be overcome, one of the ways, is through Islamic philanthropy, especially zakat. The gap between the potential and realization of zakat, the less than optimal performance of zakat institutions has resulted in low public trust so that supervision is needed by various parties so that zakat can be managed well. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of zakat fund management performance in Zakat Management Organizations (OPZ) in Indonesia. This type of research is descriptive quantitative research that uses the ACR (Allocation to Collect Ratio) method to measure effectiveness and the DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) method to measure efficiency. The data is in the form of secondary data originating from the annual financial reports of BAZNAS, Dompet Dhuafa, and Rumah Zakat from 2018 to 2021. The results of the study show that in general the three OPZs received high effectiveness and efficiency scores. BAZNAS is the most effective OPZ and Rumah Zakat is the most efficient OPZ. So it can be used as the main reference for other OPZs in efforts to improve the performance of zakat management in Indonesia.
INFORMAÇÃO E CENSURA NA COLISÃO ENTRE DIREITOS FUNDAMENTAIS E DA PERSONALIDADE
Authors: Sanfelici Otero Cleber , Rodrigues Pascotto Amanda
Published: November 2024

O presente estudo tem como escopo trazer uma compreensão acerca da delimitação dos direitos fundamentais à liberdade de expressão, informação e comunicação, paralelamente a outros direitos fundamentais e da personalidade como a privacidade e a intimidade. Faz-se pertinente, com base em acontecimentos contemporâneos nos quais há violação de direitos essenciais da pessoa, a análise de casos concretos para verificação do posicionamento do Supremo Tribunal Federal, quando da necessidade de limitações, para assegurar soluções jurídicas a embates de direitos igualmente tutelados no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, bem como de que forma se dá a responsabilidade civil em caso de abusos. Quanto aos objetivos, o método de pesquisa é o exploratório e quanto à abordagem o método utilizado é o dedutivo. À luz da brevidade da temática aqui abordada, destaca-se que a pesquisa é desenvolvida por intermédio da abordagem qualitativa e é empregado o método bibliográfico, que consiste na pesquisa bibliográfica e documental de obras doutrinárias, legislação nacional e internacional pertinentes como instrumentos basilares da pesquisa, de jurisprudência e documentos eletrônicos. Acerca dos métodos procedimentais, utilizam-se os métodos históricos, comparativo e hermenêutico. Com a análise de julgados, é possível demonstrar que, embora nem sempre haja prevalência da liberdade de expressão, confere-se a ela uma maior importância no Estado Democrático de Direito, sob o fundamento de sancionar posteriormente os abusos pelo seu uso indevido.

Published: November 2024

O presente artigo faz uma retrospectiva do constitucionalismo brasileiro, partindo do Golpe de 1964 até o momento atual. Procura, ainda, identificar transformações já enraizadas no presente que impactarão o futuro do direito constitucional. Ele se divide em três partes. A Parte I narra o Golpe de 1964 e os fatos que marcaram mais de duas décadas de regime autoritário no Brasil, até a abertura democrática. A Parte II trata das principais mudanças promovidas pela Constituição de 1988, da consolidação democrática e dos avanços na teoria constitucional. A Parte III avalia o que ainda resta fazer. Identifica antigos problemas não solucionados – pobreza, desigualdade e corrpção. Analisa novos desafios – mudanças climáticas e novas tecnologias. Ao final, a conclusão apresenta uma agenda sobre antigas e novas questões a enfrentar. Apesar de alguns sustos e frustrações, o constitucionalismo brasileiro soma muitas conquistas. Sem prejuízo disso, temos um longo caminho pela frente.

Published: November 2024

Background: Positive associations are reported between "cognitively stimulating" activities and cortical stimulation and between "cognitively challenging" activities and cortical stimulation. However, the basis for these has been largely subjective. One aim of this pilot study was to determine whether tabletop cognitive activities, believed to be cortically stimulating, are objectively based on left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (LDLPFC) coherence measured by electroencephalography (EEG). A second aim was to compare LDLPFC coherence associated with Sudoku, perceived by most study participants to be the most cognitively challenging activity they completed, with LDLPFC coherence associated with the activity each perceived to be the least cognitively challenging.

Methods: Participants engaged for five minutes in an "at rest" condition and each of five presumptively "cognitively
stimulating" tabletop activity conditions. EEG data were collected throughout. Participants then ranked the cognitive
challenge they experienced completing each tabletop activity.

Results: Based on EEG LDLPFC coherence, not all activities were cortically stimulating. Sudoku, the activity rated "most
cognitively challenging" by most participants (n = 13/25), was the most cortically stimulating condition in Beta, High Beta,
Theta, Delta, and High Delta frequency bands.

Conclusion: With a growing body of evidence supporting the benefits of ongoing engagement in challenging cognitive
exercise for individuals across their lifespans, identifying cognitive activities that stimulate beneficial cortical activation and, ultimately, cognitive function is needed.

Published: November 2024

This article investigates the factors influencing young consumers' choice of e-commerce platforms when shopping in the Red River Delta region. The authors propose a research model with six key factors: risk awareness, perceived usefulness, sales policies, interface and user experience, price, and user reviews. A quantitative approach was used, surveying 221 young consumers, and data was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show that four out of the six factors significantly influence young consumers' decisions: price (61.9%), interface and user experience (17.6%), sales policies (15.1%), and risk awareness (12%). Together, these four factors account for 89.7% of the variance in young consumers' decisions to select an e-commerce platform. Price was identified as the most influential factor, followed by interface and user experience, sales policies, and risk awareness.

Authors:   Department of Art Education, Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University, Almaty, Kazakhstan, Shiri Masoumeh , Baigutov Karim ,   Department of Art Education, Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University, Almaty, Kazakhstan
Published: November 2024

This study explores how art students engage with digital technologies, focusing on the emotional, behavioral, and cognitive dimensions of engagement. Conducted at Abai Kazakh Pedagogical University, the research used a descriptive case study approach with online surveys completed by 60 graduate students from the Art Education, Graphic, and Design Department. The survey, consisting of 31 questions, assessed students’ familiarity with digital tools and their engagement levels. Analysis with SPSS software revealed that students were most familiar with traditional digital art tools but less so with advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), 3D printing, and Augmented Reality (AR). Engagement was highest with familiar tools, while less familiar technologies saw reduced emotional and behavioral involvement despite strong cognitive engagement driven by curiosity and motivation to learn. The study highlights the direct relationship between familiarity and engagement, suggesting that greater exposure to digital tools can enhance voluntary participation and skill development. These findings offer insights into integrating digital technologies into art education and call for further research to include educators' perspectives for a broader understanding of engagement in art classrooms.

Published: November 2024

Este documento presenta una caracterización socioeconómica, tecnológica, ambiental y de mercado del sistema de producción, y varios componentes al respecto: en el socioeconómico, se determinó que la actividad de producción de cacao la realizan pequeños productores que disponen de pocos servicios básicos como el agua potable, y con vías de acceso que en su mayoría están en mal estado; asimismo, cuentan con unidades productivas pequeñas de una, dos y tres hectáreas, bajo el modelo de producción de agricultura familiar. En el componente ambiental, se encontró que los productores tienen un amplio conocimiento de los servicios ecosistémicos, los cuales se relacionan principalmente con la calidad del aire, el manejo de recursos naturales, la captura de carbono, la producción de oxígeno, la conservación de la biodiversidad, la fertilidad del suelo, la preservación de fuentes de agua y la conservación de bosques. Además, se ha observado que las especies que acompañan el cacao proporcionan servicios ecosistémicos como el suministro de materia orgánica al suelo y la regulación o mejora de la temperatura; esto contribuye al bienestar de las plantas y a una mayor productividad del cultivo.
Tracking Implementation Outcomes of an Intensive Case Management Program for HIV: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Mengistu Meron , Tom Kris , Gebremikael Liben , Massaquoi Notisha , Ezezika Obidimma
Published: November 2024

Background

Implementation science investigates the processes and factors that influence the successful adoption, implementation, and sustainability of interventions in many settings. Although conventional research places significant emphasis on the advancement and effectiveness of interventions, it is equally imperative to comprehend their performance in practical, real-life situations. Through outcome tracking, implementation science enables researchers to investigate complex implementation dynamics and go beyond efficacy, identifying the various aspects that contribute to the success of interventions.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the implementation outcomes of TAIBU’s intensive case management (ICM) model tailored for African, Caribbean, and Black communities living with HIV in the Greater Toronto Area. Specifically, it seeks to assess the fidelity, reach, and sustainability of the ICM program. Fidelity monitoring will ensure adherence to program protocols and consistency in service delivery, essential for achieving desired health outcomes. Reach assessment will examine the program’s capacity to reach the target population, including demographic coverage and engagement levels among African, Caribbean, and Black individuals. Sustainability assessment will explore the determinants influencing the longevity and impact of the ICM program.

Methods

The study uses a mixed methods approach, where we will use probing questionnaires, interviews, and focus-group discussions to gather program performance and engagement data, in-depth insights, and perspectives from the implementation team responsible for delivering the ICM intervention. The collected fidelity and reach data through questionnaires will be analyzed using appropriate statistical techniques, such as descriptive statistics, to summarize the responses and identify patterns and trends within the data. Sustainability data collected through the interviews and focus groups will be analyzed and organized based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, which provides an organized way to identify and comprehend the determinants influencing implementation outcomes.

Results

The study commenced in January 2024, and initial data collection is expected to be completed by December 2024. As of September 2024, we have enrolled 5 participants.

Conclusions

This study will significantly contribute to improving the implementation of the ICM program. By conducting a study in an organizational or institutional setting, researchers can acquire valuable insights into the implementation process from those who are directly involved. The information gathered will inform strategies for improving implementation effectiveness; removing impediments; and enhancing the overall quality of the ICM program for African, Caribbean, and Black individuals living with HIV.

Authors: Hu Chao , Fu Qiang , Gao Fei Fei , Zeng Jian , Xiao Wei , Li Hui , Peng Li , Huang Xi , Yang Li , Chen Wen Zhi , Jiang Ming Yan
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

While immunotherapy has revolutionized oncological management, its efficacy in lung cancer patients with liver metastases remains limited, potentially due to the unique immunosuppressive microenvironment of the liver. Local liver treatment has been shown to enhance the immunotherapy response, and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), a minimally invasive local treatment, has demonstrated promising results in combination with immunotherapy. However, clinical data regarding HIFU in lung cancer with liver metastases are limited.

OBJECTIVE

We designed the HILL (Ultrasound-Guided High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Combined With PD-1 Blockade in Patients With Liver Metastases From Lung Cancer) study to investigate the effectiveness and safety of HIFU in combination with immunotherapy for lung cancer with liver metastases.

METHODS

The HILL study is a single-armed, single-center, phase 2 clinical trial that will enroll 30 patients with lung cancer and liver metastases. The treatment regimen involves administering HIFU to liver metastases 1 week before the first dose of a programmed cell death protein (PD)–1 blockade, which is then administered every 3 weeks. The primary aim is to determine the overall response rate based on immune-related response criteria. Secondary aims include safety, progression-free survival, overall response, overall survival, and quality of life. Exploratory studies will also be conducted using whole blood, plasma, archival cancer tissue, and tumor biopsies during progression or relapse to identify potential biomarkers.

RESULTS

The study was funded on March 14, 2022, and received ethical approval on April 27, 2022. Clinical trial registration was completed by June 10, 2022, with participant recruitment beginning on July 10, 2022. Data collection commenced on July 14, 2022, with the enrollment of the first patient. By April 2024, 6 participants had been recruited. The results are expected to be published in December 2026.

CONCLUSIONS

This study seeks to improve treatment outcomes for lung cancer patients with liver metastases by combining HIFU and PD-1 inhibition. The study also aims to identify potential biomarkers through exploratory research that can aid in selecting patients for optimized outcomes in the future.

Diabetes merupakan kondisi serius pada kesehatan masyarakat serta menjadi salah satu penyebab mortalitas tertinggi secara global. Tujuan perawatan diabetes adalah mencegah atau menunda komplikasi dan mengoptimalkan kualitas hidup. American Diabetes Association (ADA) menjabarkan pendekatan multifaktorial untuk mengurangi risiko komplikasi diabetes yang diterapkan melalui perubahan gaya hidup dan edukasi. Manajemen diabetes melalui aplikasi berbasis mobile terbukti membantu individu dalam keberhasilan melakukan manajemen diabetes secara mandiri. Meskipun aplikasi yang ada telah memberikan manfaat signifikan, masih terdapat ruang untuk pengembangan lebih lanjut dalam hal efektivitas manajemen diabetes dan keberlanjutan pengembangan sistem. Pada penelitian ini, sistem monitor kadar gula darah berbasis mobile dirancang berdasarkan pendekatan multifaktorial. Teknologi pengembangan mengadopsi pendekatan Modern Android development (MAD) dari Google. Tahapan pengembangan mencakup analisis, perancangan, implementasi, dan pengujian. Implementasi menerapkan enam komponen MAD: penargetan versi Android terbaru, penggunaan Android Studio, Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Android Jetpack, dan penerapan praktik terbaik untuk arsitektur dan pengujian. Aplikasi berhasil dibangun dengan dua fitur utama: monitor kadar gula darah dan rekomendasi perawatan diabetes. Fitur monitor menyajikan grafik gula darah, pencatatan aktivitas yang dapat memengaruhi gula darah, dan alarm gula darah. Adapun rekomendasi perawatan diabetes memberikan edukasi dan dorongan kepada pasien untuk menerapkan gaya hidup sehat. Penerapan MAD menghasilkan sistem yang skalabel dan mudah dipelihara. Dari hasil pengujian, fungsi aplikasi berjalan sesuai dengan hasil analisis dan perancangan serta tidak ditemukan kerusakan. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan agar sistem dapat membantu pasien dalam mencapai tujuan perawatan diabetes. Selain itu, sistem diharapkan dapat terus dikembangkan untuk memastikan relevansinya dan dampak yang berkelanjutan.
