Análise da dependência espacial em experimentos com cana-de-açúcar da RIDESA
Authors:   , Silva Mariana de Oliveira
Published: February 2025

A cana-de-açúcar é uma das culturas agrícolas mais importantes para a economia brasileira, sendo a principal matéria-prima para a produção de açúcar e etanol. Dada sua relevância, o melhoramento genético da cana-de-açúcar é essencial para aumentar a produtividade e a sustentabilidade do setor sucroenergético. A análise de variância tradicional, que assume a independência dos erros, frequentemente confia ao princípio da casualização a tarefa de neutralizar a correlação entre os erros. No entanto, quando a casualização não é realizada corretamente ou a dependência espacial entre parcelas é ignorada, os resultados podem ser comprometidos, reduzindo a eficácia da análise para a seleção de genótipos realmente superiores. Neste estudo, realizou-se uma análise estatística espacial em dois experimentos conduzidos pela Rede Interuniversitária para o Desenvolvimento do Setor Sucroenergético (RIDESA) com o objetivo de avaliar a dependência espacial dos erros aleatórios e verificar se a análise espacial melhora a precisão experimental. A análise inicial dos resíduos empregou o índice de Moran e semivariogramas para identificar a autocorrelação espacial e modelar a estrutura de dependência espacial. Essa estrutura foi posteriormente incorporada aos modelos por meio da matriz de variância e covariância residual (R), possibilitando a comparação entre modelos com erros independentes, modelos com erros dependentes que consideram o controle local do experimento, e modelos com erros dependentes que desconsideram o controle local do delineamento em blocos casualizados. O modelo que desconsiderou o controle local e incorporou a dependência espacial dos erros mostrou o melhor ajuste em um dos experimentos, evidenciando que, em certas condições, a consideração da estrutura espacial pode ser mais eficaz do que o controle local no delineamento.

Influence of Gender Roles on Career Choices in Kenya
Authors: Kinyua Caleb
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the influence of gender roles on career choices in Kenya.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Traditional gender roles in Kenya steer men toward fields like engineering and leadership, while women gravitate toward caregiving roles such as teaching. Societal norms and limited access to education, especially in rural areas, reinforce these stereotypes. A 2021 study found 70% of participants felt gender expectations shaped their career paths. Efforts like STEM programs for girls are challenging these norms, but progress is slow. Achieving equitable career opportunities requires breaking these stereotypes and promoting choice based on ability and interest.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social role theory, gender schema theory & expectancy-value theory may be used to anchor future studies on analyze the influence of gender roles on career choices in Kenya. Practically, educational institutions must implement gender-neutral career counseling programs that provide all students with equal opportunities to explore a wide range of career options, irrespective of their gender. Policy interventions should focus on addressing systemic gender inequalities in the workforce

Authors: Rose Emma
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of work-life balance policies on family relationships in Canada.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Work-life balance policies in Canada, such as flexible working hours, parental leave, and telecommuting, have significantly improved family relationships. Research indicates that employees with access to these policies report higher satisfaction in their family roles, with 72% noting improved communication and quality time with family members (Statistics Canada, 2021). Flexible scheduling allows parents to actively participate in child-rearing and household responsibilities, fostering stronger bonds. Additionally, extended parental leave benefits have positively influenced early childhood development and parental well-being. However, challenges persist, as some employees feel pressured to maintain high productivity while working remotely, potentially blurring the boundaries between work and family life.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Role theory, conservation of resources (COR) theory & work-family border theory may be used to anchor future studies on analyze the impact of work-life balance policies on family relationships in Canada. Organizations should prioritize the implementation of flexible work policies that go beyond merely offering remote work options or paid leave, ensuring that these policies are designed to accommodate the diverse needs of employees. Policymakers should consider expanding and standardizing work-life balance policies across sectors and regions to ensure that all workers have equitable access to family leave, flexible working arrangements, and affordable childcare.

Design Sequential Hybrid Lightweight Algorithms For Encryption Data Using RC6 Algorithm
Authors: Taha Mohammed , Khalid Ali Hussein
Published: February 2025

In this study, a novel hybrid encryption scheme is proposed for secure encryption of various types of data such as images, text, documents, and videos. The scheme employs 6D chaos to generate unpredictable and highly secure keys for the RC6 encryption algorithm. The proposed method also constructs eight new S-boxes and eight new P-layers to enhance the security of the encryption process. The S-boxes and P-layers are generated using chaotic initial state parameters and stored in arrays for use in the encryption process. The encryption process uses the RC6 algorithm, S-boxes, and P-layers, with eight rounds of encryption. The resulting cipher text is highly secure and suitable for protecting sensitive data. The proposed scheme is evaluated for security and efficiency using various metrics, and the results show that the proposed scheme outperforms existing methods in terms of security and efficiency. The proposed scheme is a promising approach for secure encryption of various types of data in real-world applications. The test results indicate to the highest value of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), unified average changing intensity (UACI), number of pixel change rate (NPCR) are 7.748 dB, 33.4842 and 99.6082, respectively. While the encryption and decryption speed up 0.1735 and 0.1864 second respectively.
Perspectivisme
Authors: Chamois Camille
Published: February 2025

Lors de leur arrivée au Brésil au XVIe siècle, les Portugais·es découvrent une importante population tupi-guarani implantée le long des 5000 km de la côté Atlantique ainsi qu’à l’intérieur des terres : ces populations Amérindiennes, bien que géographiquement dispersées, sont liées au sein d’un même complexe culturel organisé autour de la guerre et du cannibalisme. La notion de « perspectivisme » apparaît au sein de cette problématique : cesser de décrire la sociologie amazonienne dans des termes essentiellement négatifs – comme une société Sem fé, sem lei, sem rei (« sans foi, sans loi, sans roi ») – pour proposer un concept susceptible de rendre compte positivement de ce complexe culturel et de sa particularité.

The application of Face Recognition Technology (FRT) in various sectors has raised significant concerns regarding privacy and data protection, especially in the context of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 (EU) 2016/679. This article critically evaluates the procedural safeguards mandated by the GDPR for the deployment of FRT. Adopting a doctrinal approach, it examines the adequacy of existing regulations in addressing the unique challenges posed by FRT, such as the risks of mass surveillance, data breaches, and biased algorithms. Through a comprehensive analysis of the GDPR’s provisions, including legal justification for processing, data minimization, and the rights of data subjects, this study identifies gaps and proposes enhancements to guarantee robust protection of individual rights. The findings underscore the need for stricter enforcement mechanisms and the development of specific guidelines tailored to the nuances of FRT.

Global Competitiveness Potential of U.S. Nuclear Energy Technologies
Authors: Voronin T. V.
Published: February 2025

The new Trump administration considers the U.S. nuclear energy industry as one of the most important and promising tools for maintaining the country’s global leadership in the international arena. In order to assess the validity of these calculations, this paper provides a retrospective analysis of the development of U.S. nuclear industry, identifies its strengths and weaknesses and the overall state as D. Trump is about to enter his second term. The first section outlines the key stages and drivers of the U.S. nuclear energy industry evolution in the second half of the 20th century. The author notes that the development of the industry was steadily slowing down after a period of rapid growth in the 1960–1970s due to both purely economic reasons and extraordinary factors, including the accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant. The second section compares the approaches of the administrations of George W. Bush, B. Obama, D. Trump and J. Biden to regulating the national nuclear energy industry. The research shows that, despite active government support of the industry, the trend towards a ‘nuclear renaissance’ emerged only with D. Trump's coming to power, as he set a course to restore the competitiveness of the country’s nuclear industry and establish dominance in this segment of international energy market. The author concludes that the U.S. nuclear energy technologies have significant potential in terms of strengthening the country’s global competitiveness, which, in particular, became possible thanks to the policy of the last two administrations to subsidize and technologically upgrade the nuclear industry, as well as to develop new markets in Europe and Asia. At the same time, as the author notes, there are still certain capacity constraints, related, in particular, to the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and the transition to cost-effective production of small modular reactors.
