Authors: Dias Avelino Camile , Mota Ellori Laíse Silva , Gondim Anne Isabelley , Alves Rômulo Romeu Nóbrega , Dias Thelma Lúcia Pereira
Published: July 2024

Octocorals are extremely important animals for forming coral reefs and maintaining life in the marine environment and are widely distributed. The focus species Plexaurella grandiflora is an endemic species from Brazil. It is subject to the most varied external stressors, from ocean surface warming, pollution, damage caused by tourism, and predation by other animals. In this sense, the present study aimed to survey the population characteristics of P. grandiflora in a shallow tropical reef where it occurs in the Northeast of Brazil. Furthermore, we evaluated the stress and damage caused by coral-eating gastropods of the Muricidae family, found associated with colony structure. Through free dives between the years 2016 and 2017, 143 colonies of P. grandiflora were marked and observed, and they were analyzed in their size, supporting substrate, distribution, presence of damage, and impact by coral-eating gastropods. The cataloged colonies were larger than those recognized in the literature and were distributed in aggregate. A total of 85 gastropods of two species (Coralliophila aberrans and Coralliophila salebrosa) were recorded preying on gorgonians. The damage ranged from light to deep, from polyp removal to exposure of the protein axis. Predation occurred predominantly at the base of the colonies. As it is an endemic species and in need of studies, this study warns of the need for studies focused on the ecology and conservation of this gorgonian and its critical habitats.
Representaciones de la mujer en la película El regreso (2011) a la luz del ensayo Mujer y cultura (1990)
Authors: Solís Lemus Valeria
Published: July 2024

Introducción: En el artículo, se presenta un análisis de la figura femenina principal de la película El regreso (2011), de Hernán Jiménez, a la luz de los postulados planteados en el ensayo Mujer y cultura (1990) de Carmen Naranjo. Objetivo: Se pretende poner en diálogo la película del director costarricense y el texto literario de Naranjo desde una perspectiva de género. Métodos: Para lograrlo, se toma el texto Mujer y cultura y, en concreto, los mitos culturales esbozados en este por su autora como aparatos críticos para analizar el personaje fílmico de Amanda. Conclusiones: Se plantea que, a pesar de la distancia temporal entre ambos textos, lo esbozado en uno funciona perfectamente para analizar el otro. Además, el análisis permite entender cómo se construye la representación de la mujer en los productos culturales costarricenses y en la sociedad, en este caso, mediante la síntesis de mitos culturales en un solo personaje fílmico.

Authors: Llaque-Bardales María I. , García-Rupaya Carmen R.
Published: July 2024

The biggest challenge in root canal treatment is the elimination of microorganisms; therefore, new techniques are continually sought to achieve success. The agar diffusion method was used to determine the antibacterial and antifungal effect of ozonated Sacha Inchi essential oil, calcium hydroxide paste, and the combination of both. Brain heart infusion and sabouraud agar were the culture media for Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans respectively. The antibacterial and antifungal effects were determined using the inhibition halos that formed around the wells containing the drugs at 24 hours and 48 hours. From the study, the antibacterial and antifungal effects of the ozonized oil was greater after 6 hours, proportional to the higher concentration of peroxide. This study showed that the antibacterial effect of ozonated Sacha Inchi oil is superior to that of calcium hydroxide and the combination of both substances.
Neoliberalismo, salto autoritario y universidad pública
Authors: Ayala Saavedra Roberto
Published: July 2024

El gobierno inaugurado en mayo de 2018 ha acelerado y profundizado la puesta en marcha de las llamadas políticas neoliberales. No se trata solo de la política económica. El proyecto neoliberal busca imponer una reestructuración social en profundidad. Quiere cambiar la estructura social, el marco cultural, las mentalidades. El neoliberalismo trae aparejado un giro autoritario, que responde a o anticipa un incremento del malestar y la conflictividad social. En ese marco general, colocamos el análisis de los ataques a la Universidad Pública. Porque lo que pasa en la Universidad, es una expresión de lo que pasa en el país.
De la perspectiva pre-crítica a la filosofía crítica en el pensamiento holístico de Kant. 1770-2020
Authors: Lapoujade María Noel
Published: July 2024

El núcleo de este texto es una lectura minuciosa, que no exhaustiva, de la Dissertatio. Sobre la forma y los principios del mundo sensible y del inteligible,hilo conductor de mi paper. A partir de allí, el artículo despliega nociones que se volverán claves en la futura filosofía crítica.
El método: consiste en tender puentes entre la Dissertatio y la obra crítica. De esta manera presento a Kant por él mismo.
Conclusión: en general planteo mi propuesta acerca del pensamiento holístico de Kant como un tejido integral total. En particular, aplico esta tesis al caso específico de la Geografía física y de la Antropología del punto de vista pragmático, en su relación con temas relevantes de la Dissertatio, profundizados en las tres Críticas entre otras obras de nuestro filósofo.

Cobertura do solo com lã ovina de descarte no controle de plantas espontâneas e produtividade do repolho
Authors: Lösch Edaciano Leandro , Silva Juliana Cunha , Rocha Andrey Luiz da , Gaia Marília Carla de Mello , Bricarello Patrizia Ana
Published: July 2024

As plantas espontâneas podem ocasionar reduções na produtividade dos cultivos agrícolas pela competição por nutrientes, luminosidade e água. A utilização de materiais de cobertura do solo pode auxiliar no controle dessas plantas indesejadas. O objetivo proposto deste estudo foi avaliar a utilização da lã ovina de descarte no controle de espécies espontâneas e na produtividade do repolho. A hipótese formulada foi que solos cobertos com lã ovina apresentam menor quantidade de plantas espontâneas e maior produtividade de repolho em comparação a solos sem cobertura ou cobertos com palha. O experimento foi conduzido durante o outono de 2021 em Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil. Os materiais de cobertura utilizados nesse estudo apresentaram pequena redução na quantidade de plantas espontâneas em relação ao solo sem cobertura. No entanto, os maiores rendimentos individuais e por área para a cultura do repolho foram alcançados no solo coberto com a lã ovina. A fertilidade oferecida pela lã bem como a retenção da umidade e diminuição da evapotranspiração do solo são apontadas como causas para o aumento da produtividade da cultura.

Published: July 2024

The known distribution of Bothriechis aurifer (Salvin, 1860) is outdated, which impedes an accurate evaluation of its conservation status. Here, we clarify the locality-level distribution of B. aurifer and announce a 101-km range extension. Based on this and other data, we recommend its recategorization as Endangered under the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species, and its addition to Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. We also discuss problematic previous records and offer conservation recommendations. A complete Spanish translation of this paper is available in the Supplemental Data.

Authors: Berezhansky P. V. , Tuvshinbayar B. , Sangidorzh B. , Uskova T. R. , Tataurshchikova N. S.
Published: July 2024

Allergic diseases of the respiratory tract (allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma) are the leading pathology in therapeutic practice. The results of a meta-analysis in the East Asian region showed that the overall prevalence of bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis with bronchial asthma was 10.17% and 38.97%, respectively. On the territory of Mongolia there are 2883 plant species belonging to 662 genera and 128 families. In this regard, given the climatic and geographical features of Mongolia, the flowering and pollination season is long, which affects the quality of life of patients with allergic diseases. The purpose of the study is to analyze the prevalence and incidence of allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma in Mongolia and present the experience of treatment with Antipollin.

The study was conducted in Ulaanbaatar, Darkhan and Sukhbaatar for 2019-2022. Based on the data obtained, the following statistical indicators were calculated: incidence (cumulative incidence) per 1000 patients, prevalence (prevalence) for specific annual indicators and age groups.

The cumulative incidence of allergic rhinitis for the fourth quarter of 2022 was determined to be from 28.9‰ to 43.92‰, the cumulative incidence of bronchial asthma was from 20.16‰ to 37.2‰, while in some age subgroups this figure exceeds 50‰. Determined that for 2022 in Ulaanbaatar – 4.39% and 2.66%, in Darkhan – 2.89% and 2.02%, in Sukhbaatar – 2.91% and 3.72% of patients were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma, respectively. In the cities of Ulaanbaatar and Darkhan, the number of patients registered with allergic rhinitis is 1.5 times higher than the number of patients with bronchial asthma, but in the city of Sukhbaatar the opposite trend is observed. The prevalence of bronchial asthma in the city of Sukhbaatar is much higher than in other cities, higher than in the AR, and as the population ages, this indicator only increases in the group 0 – 10 years – the prevalence of bronchial asthma is 12.72‰, which 2 times higher than the figure in Darkhan – 6.9‰ and 1.5 times higher than in Ulaanbaatar – 8.1‰.

Taking into account the climatic, geographic, population and epidemiological characteristics of Mongolia, the use of Antipollin for sublingual immunotherapy is the optimal solution that can improve the quality of life of thousands of patients suffering from allergic diseases of the respiratory tract.
GRAPHS \(\Gamma\) OF DIAMETER 4 FOR WHICH \(\Gamma_{3,4}\) IS A STRONGLY REGULAR GRAPH WITH \(\mu=4,6\)
Authors: Makhnev Alexander A. , Golubyatnikov Mikhail P. , Efimov Konstantin S.
Published: July 2024

We consider antipodal graphs \(\Gamma\) of diameter 4 for which  \(\Gamma_{1,2}\) is a strongly regular graph. A.A. Makhnev and D.V. Paduchikh noticed that, in this case, \(\Delta=\Gamma_{3,4}\) is a strongly regular graph without triangles. It is known that in the cases \(\mu=\mu(\Delta)\in \{2,4,6\}\) there are infinite series of admissible parameters of strongly regular graphs with \(k(\Delta)=\mu(r+1)+r^2\), where \(r\) and \(s=-(\mu+r)\) are nonprincipal eigenvalues of \(\Delta\). This paper studies graphs with \(\mu(\Delta)=4\) and 6. In these cases, \(\Gamma\) has intersection arrays \(\{{r^2+4r+3},{r^2+4r},4,1;1,4,r^2+4r,r^2+4r+3\}\) and \(\{r^2+6r+5,r^2+6r,6,1;1,6,r^2+6r,r^2+6r+5\}\), respectively. It is proved that graphs with such intersection arrays do not exist.
Rovarok szerepe a sebgyógyításban az ősi Egyiptomban
Authors: Anna Blázovics , Győry Hedvig , Petrovics Alica , Daniella Fehér
Published: July 2024

A rovarok a hominidák megjelenésétől kezdve mind a mai napig fontos táplálékul szolgálnak az embereknek is. A misztikus és mágikus funkciók mellett rovartermékekkel történő gyógymódokat már az ősi kultúrákban, Afrikában, Ázsiában, a Közel– és Távol-Keleten, valamint Európában is lejegyeztek. A rovarokkal kapcsolatos megfigyelések, köztük az ókori rovarterápiák arra ösztönözték a kutatókat, hogy tanulmányozzák e hagyományok valós értékét. Az utóbbi néhány évtizedben a kutatók figyelme a rovarok bioaktív anyagainak megismerésére irányult. A szerteágazó állatkísérletek és humán tanulmányok eredményei alapján a kutatók arra a felismerésre jutottak, hogy a rovarokkal kapcsolatos terápiás megfigyelések általánosságban helyénvalók. Sokan abban reménykednek, hogy segítségükkel olyan vegyületeket találnak, melyek új gyógyszerek felfedezéséhez és/vagy új gyógymódokhoz vezethetnek. In vitro és in vivo kísérletekben már bizonyították, hogy egyes rovarok testéből származó vegyületek antibiotikus, vírusellenes hatásúak, fájdalomcsillapító, érzéstelenítő és reumaellenes tulajdonságokkal rendelkeznek. Ismertté váltak immunstimuláns, hormon tulajdonságú és a tumor növekedését gátló, illetve citotoxikus vegyületek is. E cikk szerzői arra voltak kíváncsiak, hogy a régi egyiptomi orvosi szövegekben található receptekben milyen rovarokat, illetve rovartermékeket alkalmaztak a sebek ellátására, és az említett rovarkomponensek vajon milyen szerepet tölthettek be a gyógyulás folyamatában. Az ősi receptek értelmezése természetszerűen hipotetikus. A feltételezett hatások az utóbbi évek kutatási eredményein alapulnak.

The Marital Sexual Experiences of South African Muslim Wives of Indian Descent: Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
Authors: Khan Maryam , Ebrahim Sumayya
Published: July 2024

This article2 explores the sexuality of South African Muslim Indian wives in monogamous marriages, analyzing the effect of religious teachings and cultural norms on sexual experiences using hermeneutic phenomenology. The abrupt shift from religious norms that promote chastity to the expectation of sexual activity upon marriage, together with variations in desire and sexual preferences remain relatively underexplored within Muslim marriages. Under analysis is the dynamic between intimacy, desire, and shame. Drawing on empirical research, results highlight emotional and psychological challenges faced by Muslim women during marital sexual initiation due to their interpretations of religious teachings and limited sex education. Muslim wives experience that their sexual desire discrepancies negatively impact their mental health and self-esteem. There is the invocation of gendered sexual conceptions perpetuated by cultural conditioning which is also negotiated and subverted. Despite challenges, a transformative potential in marital relationships is indicated through agentival capacity, understanding, communication, and mutual sexual satisfaction.

Introduzione. Il percorso cardio-oncologico nella gestione del paziente oncologico
Authors: D’Ambrosio Cristiana
Published: July 2024

La cardio-oncologia come approccio condiviso ha l’obiettivo di assicurare ai pazienti affetti da cancro il miglior trattamento antineoplastico nell’intero continuum di cura, riducendo al minimo il rischio di tossicità cardiovascolare correlata (CTR-CVT). Sebbene il suo background scientifico sia solido e la sua rilevanza clinica sia ben nota, la sua applicazione nella pratica quotidiana varia notevolmente da un ospedale all’altro. Ed è proprio in quest’ottica di condivisione multidisciplinare che trova ragione una proposta di percorso cardio-oncologico. Tale proposta individua le categorie di pazienti da inserire nel percorso, evidenzia il ruolo di una specifica rete clinica e di imaging inter ospedaliera e indica strategie di follow-up durante e dopo i trattamenti oncologici.

Education in Indonesia has not really achieved the expected goals. Both in the affective, cognitive, and psychomotor domains. This paper describes the results of research related to the curriculum for ages 5 to 6 years which is applied in one of the institutions that still preserve Muhammad SAW-based education, namely Kuttab Al-Fatih Cileunyi, Bandung Regency. In historical records, kuttab as an education based on Muhammad SAW has proven successful in producing brilliant and accomplished figures at a young age such as Muhammad Al-Fatih and Muhammad bin Idris Asy-Syafi'i. This research uses a case study method with a qualitative approach. While the data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman model. Based on the results of the research, the curriculum applied at Kuttab Al-Fatih Cileunyi is the Qur'an curriculum and the faith curriculum which is also known as the first century hijri curriculum or the prophet curriculum. Broadly speaking, the curriculum applies the concepts and stages of faith before the Qur'an and adab before science, with the Qur'an, sunnah and sirah as the main reference and foundation. No major obstacles were found in the implementation of the curriculum. It can even be said that there are very few obstacles.Pendidikan di Indonesia belum benar-benar mencapai tujuan yang diharapkan.

The condition of the Drainage Network in the South Ring Road section of Sukabumi City has problems when the rainy season arrives, one of the problems faced is the occurrence of runoff on the road and several sub-catchments. Runoff problems in drainage channels are caused by fill of garbage, sedimentation and vegetation that impact on the capacity of channel. It is necessary to conduct a study related to the condition of the existing channel to provide a solution in handling overflows. Primary data used is direct observation at the study site to obtain channel dimensions and channel elevations in existing conditions. Secondary data in the form of maximum rainfall points at the study site (NASA source) for 42 years. Based on the 5-year return period design rainfall calculation with the Log Pearson III Distribution method (selected method), simulated with the Personal Computer Storm Water Management Models. The results of the analysis show that there is flooding at the junction of 4 points in the conditions of the 5-year return period design rainfall. To reduce flooding, it is necessary to evaluate the drainage system by maximizing the function of existing land in each sub-catchment by installing Low Impact Development (LID) instruments in the form of Rain Barrel, Rain Garden and Bio-Retention at a number of sub-catchment points affected by flooding. The simulation results show that there is a reduction in average runoff of 35% so that the installation of LID instruments can be used to minimize the impact of flooding.Keywords:Channel, Drainage, LID, Runoff, Sub-catchment

Accidents are an event that often occurs on the highway, especially in big cities, one of which is Surabaya City. Accidents are one of the main problems for the safety of road users. Almost all activities carried out require transportation facilities, if the transportation facilities do not run well due to traffic accidents, the activities carried out will not run well. Therefore, a solution is needed to reduce accidents by building an accident-prone area information system. In determining the criteria for accident-prone areas, it is taken from the Republic of Indonesia Police, the Department of Transportation, and Public Works, based on the number of accidents, the number of fatalities of victims, and road conditions. This research is an effort to visualize the occurrence of accidents using spatial data of Surabaya City road network maps and non-spatial data, namely accident data and road data obtained from the police and the Bina Marga Service. In the final result of this research, an application is obtained that can provide visualization of accident-prone areas such as Ahmad Yani road which is a road with a high accident rate with the number of incidents and has the highest victim fatality weighting results among 9 other primary arterial roads.

With more functionalities being integrated into a microchip today, higher processing power is drawn. As a result of this, clock and logic power consumption has turned out to be a critical issue to be coped with by chip designers. In this paper, we present various power-saving approaches employed in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuit designs. The approaches involve restructuring the logic circuits, performing clock gating, and selecting the appropriate circuits for counters and frequency divisions. In order to show their efficacies in power optimization, the approaches were applied to a phase-locked loop (PLL), clock divider (CD), full adder (FA), counter, arithmetic logic unit (ALU), and microprocessor without interlocked pipelined stages (MIPS) circuits and validated using Intel Quartus Prime Lite and Mentor Graphics Modelsim. The following conclusions can be drawn from the results: Firstly, the efficacy of minimizing power dissipation using logic restructuring is found to be in direct proportion with the rate of the switching activity (SA); secondly, a maximum of 3.5% of thermal power dissipation can be saved using clock gating; thirdly, gray counters give the lowest power consumption; and, finally, the thermal power estimation for the phase-locked loop (PLL) is relatively higher than that for the clock divider (CD) when both of them are implemented for dividing frequencies.

Businesses have benefited tremendously from technological advancements, particularly in production, outsourcing, logistics, and marketing. Although large firms and Multinational Companies (MNCs) are in a better position concerning the use and adoption of technologies, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have both the agility and potential to leverage their resources, market conditions, globalization’s opportunities, and networks to improve the way they use technology and ultimately enhance their competitiveness. As seen in the literature, most research that has addressed the topic of technology adoption among SMEs has emphasized specific issues such as digitalization, information technology, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and Industry 4.0. This paper has gone beyond such a limited view to touch upon different technological aspects that are important to the functioning and/or survival of SMEs and the conditions surrounding the implementation and use of technologies. Specifically, this study examines the realities of SMEs’ technology adoption and draws lessons for policymakers in developing countries.
Institute of the National Heritage: A Retrospective of the Idea, Image and Economic Constitutionalization
Authors: Chupilkina A. F.
Published: July 2024

The institution of the national heritage takes an important place in the Soviet constitutional construction, in the history of legal science and in the practical construction of the planned economy — the most eﬃcient economy in the world. Its introduction was dictated by the revolutionary conditions of 1917, passed all legislative levels of consolidation, served as the material for the work of the Gosplan of the USSR — the state body responsible for planning the development of the national economy of the USSR and monitoring planned implementation. It also was the foundation for the work of large‑scale state enterprises that create high income for the development of high rates of industrial economy and increase the standard of living of the population. The historical and legal research of the Institute of National Heritage, the experience of the development of a planned economy, should be conducted in the national interests of the Russian Federation. The institution of the national heritage, its constitutional consolidation and implementation have become a basic part of the socially oriented economic organization of the Russian statehood. The socially oriented economic organization of the State, in turn, is the target task of economic constitutionalization. 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the ﬁrst Union Constitution of the USSR in 1924. It should be assumed that not only a historian or a lawyer, but also any person who is not professionally involved in the evolution of statehood, knows that the new constitution arises as a result of political, social, and economic transformations. There is a reason to recall the Soviet state‑building, its main motivational forces. There are epoch‑making constitutions adopted as a result of revolutions — in the Russian past, these were the Constitution of the RSFSR of 1918 and the Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993. The Constitution of the USSR of 1924 would not have seen the light if there had not been the Constitution of the RSFSR of 1918, which, in turn, the world would not have seen without the revolutionary events of 1917. The Constitutions of 1936 and 1977 were in progress. What is the legal idea that permeates the entire Soviet history? Let’s try to answer the question.
