Trazos del cuerpo al papel. La creación del dibujo de la figura humana en el niño
Authors: Nin Corina
Published: February 2025

El logro de la figura humana en el niño pondrá en juego lo que llamaremos un montaje significante de escrituras, de armado de cuerpo erógeno, escritura marcada por la pérdida atravesada por el significante. En circulación deseante, el otro/Otro imprimirá marcas, registros primordiales que conformarán psiquismo. En este acto creativo el niño re-crea la falta de donde se partió y dará cuenta de los recorridos escriturales de su cuerpo. Lo plantearemos como un salto del espejo al papel. Y el asombro presente por la capacidad de encontrar una vez más una representación unificada imaginaria y a la vez simbólica de su cuerpo. Este salto estará sostenido por la respuesta asombrada y jubilosa del adulto, que nombra, valida y certifica la unidad de la imagen realizada. Esto hacereferencia a la inscripción de lo humano en su carácter simbólico.
Claves y enclaves de la creatividad: entre el deseo y la prohibición, la transgresión
Authors: Kachinovsky Alicia
Published: February 2025

The hypothesis put forward by this paper is that the creative process requires, from the psychic perspective, that something akin to transgression is at stake, swinging between what is permitted and what is repressed. Such condition is based on the need to dodge the costs of an inexcusable social construction of the individual. It is also suggested that there are some dimensions which support the creative act, common to different human activities and domains, regardless of the uniqueness of the person who creates.The paper then resorts to three diverse scenarios to illustrate this hypothesis. The first one, Charles Darwin, as a testimony oftransgression in scientific thinking, while, following Freud, the other face of that transgression will be displayed (its rigorous and methodic character). In the second scenario, a clinical psychoanalytic vignette shows a six-year-old boy who does not submit to the official version of a legend, provides a reflexive intervention, thus recreating his psychic functioning. In the third case, a family scene reveals the creativity of a girl of three who gives a different version (alters) the fictional plot of a piece of children’s literature.
Las deudas neuróticas y las sociales
Authors: Peskin Leonardo
Published: February 2025

El escrito aborda el tema de las deudas, tanto en los pasos de constitución subjetiva como en la dinámica social. Describe la deuda como derivada del anudamiento de los tres registros propuestos por Lacan. Especialmente, en los casos en los que lo Real no logre ser resuelto por lo Simbólico y lo Imaginario pretenda hacerse cargo de resolver ese déficit. Termina ejemplificando con un comentario acerca de la tragedia que evidencia en acción lo no resuelto y la solución extrema, siempre ligada a la muerte, para que la situación logre apaciguarse.
Transmisión psicoanalítica entre el poder y la ética
Authors: Lauriña Cecilia
Published: February 2025

La autora se pregunta: ¿Cuál es la forma de transmisión adecuada a la ética psicoanalítica? Circunscribe algunas diferencias en la modalidad de transmisión en cada uno de los vértices del trípode: análisis personal, supervisión y transmisión de los conceptos teóricos, y subraya los riesgos derivados de la ineludible asimetría transferencial en la cual se juegan cuestiones de poder.El deseo de tener un amo incuestionable puede constituirse en el mayor riesgo/obstáculo en la formación de un analista, ya que la demanda suele ser encontrar saberes certeros que apacigüen las angustias de la falta en ser. Si los que conducen las transferencias no se abren a la interrogación del propio saber, y sobre todo del modo de transmisión, pueden perpetuar asimetrías infantilizantes.El riesgo es que en la forma de transmisión misma se cuelen los goces del poder y la sumisión, de unos y otros.Propone la revisión del lugar de enunciación de analistas, supervisores y maestros, y la articulación con la propia subjetividad. Hacer público el quehacer privado como una nueva forma, testimonial, de transmisión psicoanalítica.

Published: February 2025

Perinatal stroke encompasses a diverse group of localized brain lesions that develop during the early stages of brain maturation. While many of these injuries manifest clinically within the first days of life, some may not be noticeable until later, often within the first year of life. These injuries are referred to as presumed perinatal stroke. This review aims to provide a clinical update on the current evidence regarding the epidemiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and complications of the different types of perinatal stroke. Major databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, PubMed Central, and Google Scholar, were searched using Medical Subject Headings and regular keywords. The search terms used were “stroke” AND “neonate,” “stroke” AND “fetus,” “stroke” AND “perinatal,” “stroke” AND “perinatal” AND “clinical presentation,” “stroke” AND “perinatal” AND “diagnosis,” “stroke” AND “perinatal” AND “management,” “stroke” AND “perinatal” AND “outcomes.” Any form of study on perinatal stroke was included, while literature not written in or translated into English was excluded from the study. Some of the clinical features of perinatal stroke include seizures, irritability, hypotonia, lethargy, or apnea. Cerebral palsy, epilepsy, developmental delay, and mental impairment are some complications that may arise following these lesions.

Published: February 2025

Building code knowledge is essential for designers, but it can be challenging to learn and master. While automated code compliance tools assist in navigating these complexities, they are typically used later in the design process. This study introduces the Building Code Calculator App as an early-stage design tool. Grounded in cognitive load theory, the app simplifies information to simplify the learning process. It also incorporates concept mapping, a visual tool that aids in knowledge construction. This research aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Building Code Calculator App as a tool for design education. The app offers a visual guide to building codes and includes calculation features with explanations. It was hypothesized that the app would improve designers’ knowledge and skills while reducing their stress levels as they work on building code tasks. The study also predicts that the app will be adopted by designers in the future. A survey was conducted with senior interior design students after they completed a building code task using traditional methods and then used the app. All of the survey participants indicated the usefulness of the Building Code Calculator App in assisting the application of building code’s content and expressed disposition to use the app in the future. Results also confirmed that using the app lowered the participants’ stress levels, demonstrating its value as a design tool. In conclusion, these results advocate for a more comprehensive approach to building code education that leverages technology to provide practical, hands-on learning opportunities.
Ranking cancer pathways at the core of the protein interaction network: Identifying key signaling protein using the odds ratio test
Authors: Fadhal Emad , Saidi Neji
Published: February 2025

Understanding the intricate network of cancer pathways within protein-protein interactions (PPIs) presents a considerable challenge. Ranking these pathways by importance is difficult, as their relevance varies depending on cancer type and specific biological context. In this study, a probability odds ratio (OR) test was employed to uncover significant insights into this complexity. PPI networks were analyzed as a metric space to gain insights into their organization and functional architecture. A central protein was identified as the network’s “center,” with other proteins grouped into specific zones according to their proximity to this central point. The analysis focused on the central zones of the network, examining pathways for functional enrichment, investigating molecular mechanisms linked to oncogenes and tumor suppressors, and identifying critical proteins involved in key cellular processes. The findings highlight the importance of central proteins and pathways in driving oncogenesis and offer potential therapeutic targets. The analysis revealed an enrichment of cancer-related pathways, including PI3K-AKT, TNF, JAK-STAT, mTOR, and Wnt, with central zones of the interaction network demonstrating an important role in cancer progression. Zones 1 and 2 showed a dense concentration of cancer-associated pathways, highlighting the critical roles of core proteins in signaling and functional interactions essential to tumor biology. Among the pathways, the PI3K-AKT pathway was dominant in zone 1, accounting for approximately 51% of signaling proteins. The TNF pathway exhibited a distinct pattern, with an OR of 4.22, indicating its higher concentration in zone 1 compared to zone 2. In contrast, pathways such as JAK-STAT, mTOR, and Wnt showed more stable distributions across zones but exhibited slightly lower ORs. Importantly, ten proteins emerged as key players, central to multiple pathways and crucial for cancer progression, cell survival, and metabolism. These proteins – PRKCA, SOS2, AKT1, PIK3CA, AKT2, AKT3, PIK3CB, PIK3CD, PIK3R2, and PIK3R3 – are closely associated with oncogenic processes. Each contributes to cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation, with functional implications across various cancer types, including lung cancer. Understanding the roles of these proteins within the broader cancer pathway network deepens knowledge of tumor biology and opens new possibilities for the development of novel therapeutic approaches.
Sentiment and concern evaluation using online health community reviews
Authors: Wang Chen , Qi Huiying
Published: February 2025

In the online health community (OHC), each patient review of doctors includes an evaluation and an emotional attitude toward the doctor. Subsequent patients usually browse the comments of other patients about doctors when choosing a doctor and subsequently make decisions based on these reviews. Through sentiment analysis, a user’s emotional orientation can be judged from the review, enabling an understanding of patients’ emotional tendencies and main concerns regarding doctors during medical treatment. This also provides a reference for OHC doctors to improve service quality. This study used a method based on a sentiment dictionary to analyze the sentiment value of reviews and selected three different types of diseases (diabetes, leukemia, and depression) as examples from user reviews of the “Good Doctor Online” community. SnowNLP, a Python library for Chinese natural language processing, was used to realize the sentiment analysis of the reviews. The program correctly identified the sentiment of most reviews. Although the sentiments of OHC reviews are mostly positive, there are also a few extremely negative reviews. Most positive patient reviews about doctors are related to their good attitude and patience with patients and their condition.

Compressive strength measurements and Vickers hardness tests were conducted to assess mechanical properties, while microstructural characterization and X-ray diffraction analysis provided insights into the material’s physical properties. This research extends beyond physical and mechanical properties by exploring the on-contact antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa up to 72 h. The addition of Cu reduced the ability of bacterial colonization of both strains on the metal surface. The findings of this investigation have the potential to benefit the biomedical devices, contributing to both structural and biofunctional properties of materials.
A review on development of eco-friendly natural fiber-reinforced composite filaments for 3D printing: Fabrication and characteristics
Authors: RaviRamful Raviduth
Published: February 2025

Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly referred to as 3D printing, has revolutionized the modern manufacturing world by providing comprehensive benefits in terms of mass customization, automation, design optimization, quick prototyping, and reduced lead times among other factors. Given the increased popularity, rapid development, and implementation of AM technologies in numerous engineering applications, new methods to enhance the AM process for improved efficiency and to attain sustainability goals are being considered. One approach to achieve sustainability in AM is by considering greener input materials such as natural fiber-reinforced composite filaments (NFRCFs) with lower embodied energy. This review focuses on the latest advancements made in the research and development of advanced NFRCFs for the AM process. In the first section, the rationale of using natural fibers in modern NFRCFs is outlined, followed by a description of the key stages of their fabrication process involving the pre-processing of fibers and the addition of plasticizer to enhance their performance. In the second part of this review, a detailed overview of the typical fibers and matrices used in the development of NFRCFs is provided, and some of the typical challenges encountered when utilizing natural fibers, such as their lack of homogeneity, are highlighted. The fiber-matrix interaction and corresponding properties are further discussed, and means to achieve homogeneous NFRC filament are outlined. Finally, the degradability characteristics and recycling methods for NFRCF are discussed, and further means to optimize their performance for increased usage in AM and related applications are presented. To address and overcome the foregoing limitations posed by present-day NFRCF, further research for breakthrough solutions is still required. Further research and development in this area is a prerequisite to attain sustainability in AM, which will also promote the usage and integration of sustainable AM parts into a wider range of engineering applications in our modern society.
 
The Impacts of Climate Change, Agricultural Productivity, and Food Security on Economic Growth in Tunisia: Evidence from an Econometrics Analysis
Authors: Khalifa Jihene
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the effects of climate change, agricultural productivity, and food security on economic growth in Tunisia from 1990 to 2022. Employing an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, the findings reveal that lagged agricultural productivity significantly contributes to economic growth, underscoring agriculture's pivotal role in the national economy. Analysis with a Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model highlights the detrimental effect of rainfall variability on economic growth, emphasizing the vulnerability of Tunisia's rain-fed agriculture to climate change. With its semi-arid and arid climate, Tunisia already faces scarce and irregular rainfall, a challenge intensified by climate change through reduced precipitation and altered seasonal patterns, resulting in prolonged droughts and sporadic, intense rainfall events. Granger causality tests reveal unidirectional relationships from economic growth to agricultural productivity, food security, and temperature variation, as well as from temperature changes to crop production. Additionally, a bidirectional relationship between crop production and food security underscores their interdependence. These findings highlight the pressing need for adaptive strategies to address the adverse effects of climate variability. Suggested measures include the implementation of climate-smart agricultural practices, such as efficient irrigation systems, resilient crop varieties, and sustainable soil management. Investments in sustainable agricultural practices and enhanced food systems are crucial to fostering economic resilience and stability. This study offers valuable insights into the interplay between climate change, agriculture, and economic growth, contributing to the broader discourse on sustainable development and providing actionable policy recommendations to fortify Tunisia’s agricultural and economic systems against escalating climate challenges.

This research focuses on the analysis of the flow and heat transfer inside a square cavity containing a Bingham plastic fluid. The cavity undergoes heating on its left side, where a flexible and elastic fin is positioned at the center of this heated wall. Cooling takes place on the right side of the cavity, while the upper and lower walls are well-insulated. The equations governing the complex interaction between the fluid and the flexible fin are accurately solved using an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian approach, in conjunction with the finite element methodology. This study concentrates on the impact of the flexible fin on heat transfer in the context of unsteady natural convection of a complex fluid with a yield stress inside a square cavity. The considered parameters include the variation of the Rayleigh number in the range of 103 to 105, the modification of the elasticity modulus between 5×1010 and 5×1011, the fin length (Lc) from 0.004 to 0.0073, the Prandtl number (Pr) from 0.71 to 100, and the variation of the Bingham number from 0 to 20. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the observed thermal and fluidic phenomena, results will be displayed in the form of isothermic contours and streamlines, accompanied by Nusselt number (Nu) and maximum stress (σ_max) curves. Observations indicate a significant improvement in the Nusselt number in the absence of a yield stress (Bn=0), reaching its maximum at (Ra = 105). Conversely, the variation of the elasticity modulus shows negligible influence. As the yield stress (Bn) increases, it begins to dominate the flow by nullifying the buoyancy-induced current, reaching a constant value for (Bn=20), corresponding to the conduction limit

The goal of this paper is to investigate the use of fermatean neutrosophic soft sets (FNSSs) in the context of hyper BCK-algebras. While examining their characteristics and connections, it presents several ideas, including fermatean neutrosophic soft hyper BCK-ideals (FNSH BCK-ideals), fermatean neutrosophic soft weak hyper BCK-ideals (FNSWH BCK-ideals), fermatean neutrosophic softs-weak hyper BCK-ideals (FNSs-WH BCK-ideals), and fermatean neutrosophic soft strong hyper BCK-ideals (FNSSH BCK-ideals). The criteria under which an FNSWH BCK-ideal can be categorized as an FNSs-WH BCK-ideal are also investigated, along with the classification of FNSWH BCK-ideals. Furthermore, standards are given for determining if an FNSS is an FNSSH BCK-ideal.

Voltage sags can lead to equipment malfunction, decreased performance, and operational disruptions. They are typically caused by short circuits, motor start-ups, or sudden load increases, affecting power system reliability. Voltage stability of the proposed system has been improved by implementing modified Static Synchronous Compensator (m-STATCOM) by reducing voltage sags resulting power quality of the proposed system has been enhanced during breakdowns in electrical systems. The Voltage-Source Inverter (VSI) technology of m-STATCOM allows for quick reaction. At the Point of Common Coupling (PCC), it stabilizes voltage to avoid equipment damage from voltage fluctuations. m-STATCOM boosts reactive power regulation, renewable energy stability, and fault ride-through for dependable grid performance. Hybrid Incremental Conductance and Ripple Correlation Control (INC-RCC) for MPPT in PV and wind farms tracks Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) under diverse situations to reduce power losses and fluctuations resulting improve efficiency and reaction speed as compared to Penguin Search (PS) optimization. System stability and performance improve with the Solar Photovoltaic (SPV)-Wind farm and Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM)-Voltage Source Inverter (VSI)-based m-STATCOM controller. This integrated solution assists in minimizing LLG failure voltage drops.1KW SPV and 2.5 kW wind farm hybrid system connected to 400 V, 50 Hz utility grid integrated to the SPWM-VSI based m-STATCOM controller has been designed using MATLAB/Simulink.

Power electronics are widely used in power and energy systems, such as electrified transportation and renewable energy systems. These systems are increasing related simulations' size and complexity, resulting in longer computation times. Advanced computing techniques offer new tools for efficient simulation while designing and simulating complex energy systems. This paper introduces high-performance computing for intensive power electronics simulation and demonstrates resultant simulation speedup in a quantified and scalable manner. First, a quantitative study is performed to compare a slower-than-real-time (STRT) simulation benchmark and the proposed faster-than-real-time (FTRT) simulation through a single power electronics building block (PEBB) case study. The impact of switching frequencies in the range of tens to hundreds of kHz considering wide bandgap (WBG) power semiconductors is also investigated. The simulation speed is observed to be accelerated by a factor of 43.8 when using high-performance computing techniques compared to the sequential-based simulation benchmark. Next, a scalable simulation framework is proposed for expanding a single PEBB to an energy system consisting of multiple PEBBs. The framework leverages the high-performance programming language Julia with multi-threaded parallel computing capabilities to reduce the computational burden of power system simulation. The performance gains from the case study demonstrate an average speedup of 2540 times in a 15.0 s multi-PEBB simulation case study compared to its baseline version, with maintained simulation accuracy and ensured scalability.

Human health and socioeconomic development depend on access to clean water. The ecosystem is threatened and the environment is harmed by water bodies in horrible conditions. Health problems affect the ecosystem (animals, people, and crop productivity) due to the increasing rate of water shortages brought on by inadequate management and a lack of government enforcement. This inspired the study to determine the quality of water used, including drinking for a healthy lifestyle. The Ijebu-North Local Government Area of Ogun State in Nigeria was the area of interest for the study test on the quality of the running water. Water samples were taken from ten different flowing water sources and examined with an ultraviolet-visible spectrometer. The analysis of the water quality parameters was compared with industry standards set by the World Health Organization and the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control. The quality of residential water supply was also assessed using a weighted arithmetic water quality index approach. The weighted arithmetic water quality index findings indicated that the water in the study area was not safe for consumption due to its high turbidity. This study found that water in Ijebu North is unsuitable for drinking due to high turbidity and contaminants like iron. Industrial waste and poor waste management are major contributors to contamination, posing serious health risks. Stronger regulations, water treatment, and monitoring programs are needed to protect water quality and public health.

Background/ objective: Diarrhoea diseases continue to pose a serious threat to worldwide public health, especially among under-five children. This review paper aims to pool together the accessible evidence regarding the impacts of climate change on diarrhoea disease among under-five children. Methods: This review paper utilises PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to collect data from original articles published globally between 2010 and 2024. Initially, 150 articles were downloaded, and after screening using Rayyan software, 29 articles were selected based on eligibility criteria. The study follows the PRISMA statement as its protocol and conducts qualitative data analysis. Results: Maximum temperature and extreme rainfall were significantly associated with increased incidences of diarrhoea among those under five in 69% of the articles reviewed. Meanwhile, 31% of the publications also addressed the effects of seasonal changes and extreme events such as heat waves, droughts, and flooding on diarrhoea episodes in this age group. The reported incidence of diarrhoea among children under five ranged from 0.19% to 74.2% across different regions. Conclusions: There is a strong positive correlation between under-five diarrhoea and various meteorological factors, such as temperature and heavy rainfall, as well as extreme events (drought, flooding, cyclones, and heat waves). The findings demonstrate the urgent need for public health interventions

Latihan Quiet Eye merupakan pendekatan inovatif yang mengintegrasikan aspek kognitif dan motorik untuk meningkatkan akurasi tendangan pemain sepakbola melalui fokus visual yang optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas metode latihan Quiet Eye dibandingkan dengan latihan biasa dalam meningkatkan akurasi tendangan ke gawang. Menggunakan desain eksperimen semu dengan rancangan two group pretest-posttest, 28 pemain sepakbola universitas di Provinsi Riau dilibatkan sebagai sampel. Para pemain dibagi menjadi dua kelompok: kelompok latihan Quiet Eye dan kelompok latihan biasa, dengan masing-masing menjalani 16 sesi pelatihan. Akurasi tendangan diukur menggunakan instrumen Loughborough Soccer Shooting Test (LSST). Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kelompok Quiet Eye mencatat peningkatan akurasi yang lebih signifikan (14%) dibandingkan kelompok latihan biasa (10%), dengan perbedaan signifikan (p 0,05). Latihan Quiet Eye terbukti membantu pemain dalam meningkatkan konsentrasi, mengelola tekanan, dan mengintegrasikan penglihatan dengan gerakan secara lebih efisien. Meskipun demikian, variasi hasil dalam kelompok Quiet Eye lebih besar dibandingkan kelompok kontrol, menunjukkan bahwa efektivitas metode ini dapat dipengaruhi oleh faktor individu. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi penting dalam literatur pelatihan olahraga berbasis sains dan menjadi rekomendasi praktis bagi pelatih sepakbola untuk mengintegrasikan latihan Quiet Eye ke dalam program pelatihan rutin.
