Cine que sale de sí para emancipar al espectador
Authors: Andrade Zamarripa Armando
Published: August 2024

Este texto esboza el fenómeno de la rematerialización del dispositivo cinematográfico al conjugarse con otras prácticas artísticas –la exposición, la instalación y la performance–  y como consecuencia transforman la función expectatorial. En las obras Tiempo inmóvil (2011) de Ale de la Puente, La misma horrenda fiesta (2015) del colectivo Luz y Fuerza y Pulsos Subterráneos (2022) de Elena Pardo se reconfigura la materialidad mecánica del cine y su espacio de exhibición. Con este corpus de análisis estudiamos nuevas funciones del espectador que derivan de un cine que sale sí con la performatividad e intermedialidad de cuerpos y dispositivos tecnológicos. Encontramos a un espectador “errante” y a otro que explora una espacialidad  invertidad de la sala de proyección y, asimismo, un espectador que atestigua las gestualidades del performer.
Reseña de Filosofía y arte. Una revisión crítica de las estrategias estético-políticas de la ironía. De la mirada de Gilles de Deleuze al arte contemporáneo en México de Raquel Mercado Salas
Authors: Cabrera Manuel María Isabel
Published: August 2024

El primer libro de Raquel Mercado Salas es un documento surgido de un trabajo doctoral sobre el concepto de la ironía desde una mirada filosófica aplicada al estudio de las artes. En un esfuerzo de integración amplio, la autora revisa desde las primeras configuraciones de la ironía en la historia del pensamiento, pasando por sus momentos de prestigio y desprestigio como recurso filosófico hasta llegar a la obra de Gilles Deleuze, a partir de la que se integra el núcleo discursivo del libro. De forma paralela, la autora va desarrollando la manera en la que la ironía se configura en las obras artísticas, enfocándose en el caso del arte mexicano contemporáneo (Minerva Cuevas, Roberto de la Torre y Leonardo Barrera), que se distingue por su uso de la misma y dirige su atención a piezas en las que el dispositivo de lo irónico tiene un papel fundamental en su estrategia discursiva, simbólica y estética como apuesta por un pensamiento de la diferencia.

Grilled fish meatballs are snacks that are very popular with people from small children to adults in Tanjungpinang City. Grilled fish balls have a low shelf life, so it is feared that there will still be the use of harmful preservatives such as borax to prolong the shelf life of meatballs. Borax can cause disturbances in the central nervous system, kidney and liver function. The purpose of this study was to qualitatively determine the borax content in grilled fish balls for street food using natural ingredients turmeric in Tanjungpinang City. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative by using an observational research design and conducting 2 tests, namely the turmeric toothpick test and the turmeric extract test. The number of samples in this study were 25 grilled fish ball traders, 3 samples of grilled fish balls were taken to be tested from 25 traders, totaling 75 samples. The results of the validation test before checking the borax content with turmeric toothpicks and turmeric extract that were given borax at a concentration of 10% there was a color change and the examination of the borax content in grilled fish balls with a toothpick test of turmeric and turmeric extract the results obtained that there was no borax content in the sample indicated that there was no color change. Suggestions in this study are that it is expected to continue the research by testing the validation of the turmeric toothpick test tool and turmeric extract on borax with a small concentration of less than 10% and conducting a hygiene and sanitation inspection of making grilled fish balls at traders.

Background Hypertension is the single leading risk factor for premature death in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Prevalence is high, but awareness, treatment, and control are low. Community-centred interventions show promise for effective hypertension management, but embedding such interventions sustainably requires a good understanding of the wider context within which they are being introduced. This study aims to conduct a systematic health system assessment exploring the micro (patients/carers), meso (health care workers and facilities), and macro (broader system) contexts in rural Gambia and Kenya. Methods This study will utilise various qualitative approaches. We will conduct (i) focus group discussions with people living with hypertensive to map a ‘typical’ patient journey through health systems, and (ii) in-depth interviews with patients and family carers, health care workers, decision-makers, and NCD partners to explore their experiences of managing hypertension and assess the capacity and readiness of the health systems to strengthen hypertension management. We will also review national guidelines and policy documents to map the organisation of services and guidance on hypertension management. We will use thematic analysis to analyse data, guided by the cumulative complexity model, and theories of organisational readiness and dissemination of innovations. Expected findings This study will describe the current context for the management of hypertension from the perspective of those involved in seeking (patients), delivering (health care workers) and overseeing (decision-makers) health services in rural Gambia and Kenya. It will juxtapose what should be happening according to health system guidance and what is happening in practice, drawing on the experiences of study participants. It will outline the various barriers to and facilitators of hypertension management, as perceived by patients, providers, and decision-makers, and the conditions that would need to be in place for effective and sustainable implementation of a community-centred intervention to improve the management of hypertension in rural settings.
International Banking in Ukraine: Determination, Genesis and European Vector
Authors: Buriachenko Andrii , Tykhyi Oleksii
Published: August 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have contributed to a slowdown in banking internationalisation, but the growing trend of emerging markets towards international capital movements, technological innovations in the financial sector, and sustainable trade relations is increasing the relevance of international banking research in Ukraine. Based on an analysis of the historical overview of views on global banking in the last decades of the twentieth and first decades of the twenty-first century, the article defines the definitional features of international banking. The article emphasises the importance of foreign competition for the domestic banking sector. In this sense, a retrospective analysis of the entry of foreign banking capital into the domestic market of Ukraine is carried out and the strategies of foreign banksʼ penetration and forms of their presence are identified from the point of view of the evolution of the banking system development and transformation of the regulatory environment in Ukraine. The author notes the impact of the European integration vector on the intervention capabilities of international banks in the domestic market and the entry of domestic participants into the European market, and outlines the reaction of the financial system to the resulting internal and external shocks. As part of the overall transformations aimed at bringing Ukraineʼs accession to the EU closer, the author notes that the entry of foreign banks results in the introduction of new financial products and instruments, with a special focus on the convergence of the regulatory regime based on a harmonised set of prudential requirements and the concept of equivalence. It is noted that the domestic banking sector today, given all external and internal challenges and threats, has significant reserves in terms of capitalisation, and foreign banks are its support, and the author substantiates the need to continue an effective policy of foreign capital attraction in compliance with EU requirements and standards.

Authors: Lyskova Lesia , Podzihun Snizhana
Published: August 2024

The article comprehensively studies the essence of innovation policy and its impact on the competitiveness of countries. The types of innovation policy of countries are grouped by many criteria, in particular, by the strategy of innovation development, object of orientation, degree of regulation and direction. The study notes that in order to form an effective innovation policy, it is necessary to combine different types, based on the level of development of the country, resource potential and goals of the country. The instruments for implementing the innovation policy have been allocated and generalised, and a tendency to increase the use of indirect financial instruments has been identified. It is proposed to use a number of indices and databases to evaluate the results of innovation policy, namely the Global Innovation Index, the Global Competitiveness Index, the European Innovation Scoreboard, and the Frontier Technology Readiness Index. The article analyses the innovation policies of such countries as the USA, China and Germany, identifies their key characteristics and impact on competitiveness. Innovations shape the competitive advantages of countries, ensuring their leadership on the world stage. The semiconductor industry is studied as a key one in the field of innovative competition between the USA and China. The indicators of development of the innovation ecosystem of the selected countries according to the Global Competitiveness Index are analysed. The problems of forming and implementing innovation policy in Ukraine are highlighted: insufficient state funding, formal legislation, bureaucratic procedures, unfavourable investment climate, brain drain and lack of knowledge in the field of innovation management. The article highlights Ukraineʼs place in global indices and provides recommendations for improving innovation development and innovation policy. The role of innovation in the socio-economic development of countries is emphasised. The main social problems that should be taken into account when formulating innovation policy are raised, in particular, the problem of inclusion, gender inequality in the innovation sphere, and solving global problems. It is emphasised that innovative solutions should be designed to help achieve the goals of sustainable development, in particular decarbonisation and zero emissions.
Imaginando una sociedad perfecta. El concepto de Utopía a través de la historia
Authors: Navarro Fuentes Carlos Alberto
Published: August 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en hacer un recorrido histórico‑conceptual sobre lo que la utopía ha significado para la humanidad y cuáles son las principales motivaciones para que esta se considere una posible respuesta a la insatisfacción de las condiciones existentes. Lo anterior se realizará exponiendo a través de diferentes épocas e intentando seguir un orden cronológico, mostrando cómo comunidades y sociedades encontraron en las utopías formas de imaginarse un mundo ideal donde resolver sus problemas presentes a partir de crear mundos ficticios para escapar de la realidad o para imaginar un futuro mejor. Se expondrán los autores de utopías más importantes, así como los tipos (teológicas, reingeniería social, político‑institucionales, naturalistas, arquitectónico‑urbanísticas, literarias, revolucionarias, anarquistas, entre otras) y en qué consistieron estas para conformar la civilización occidental como la conocemos hoy. Partiremos de rastrear la utopía en la antigua Grecia con la República de Platón, pasando por Utopía de Tomás Moro, y de allí presentando el estado de la cuestión durante el Renacimiento, el Humanismo, la Ilustración, la Modernidad (exceptuando al Totalitarismo), hasta llegar al siglo xxi, donde la utopía sigue siendo una forma de abordar problemas sociales, políticos y económicos, imaginando un futuro mejor para todos.

The article deals with applying solid mineral fertilizers within the framework of the precision farming system. The use of complex mineral fertilizer compositions in the fields with an uneven demand for macroelements leads to the bigger amount of fertilizer applied, which has a detrimental effect on the ecology, the physical condition of the soil and the crop itself. It is proposed to use fertilizer mixtures the composition of which has been adjusted in fertilizer mixing units. The existing mixers have been analyzed, the processes occurring during operation of the screw, drum and centrifugal mixers were simulated. The results of the simulation showed that the unevenness coefficient kс for the drum-type mixer was 8.6%, for the blade-type mixer 17.3, and for the centrifugal mixer 3.5%.

The plant has a record of ethno-pharmacological uses by native Asians, the plant has especially been used widely in the therapeutically practice in India. Owing to its rich biological active compounds content, Acalypha indica is rendered as a wild-plants with excellent antioxidant activities. In this work, hydrothermal extraction was performed to obtained liquid products containing high biological active compounds and carbon dots from Acalypha indica plant powder. The effect of hydrothermal temperature of 100, 110, 120, 130, and 140°C was evaluated on the optical properties and biological activity of the resultant liquid products from A. indica. The results imply that the liquid products obtained at highest investigated hydrothermal temperature of 140°C had the highest total phenolic and total flavonoid content, specifically the calculated total phenolic content is 5.50 mg GAE/g and total flavonoid content is 0.53 mg QE/g; that is higher than the non-hydrothermally treated extract. Owing to the high biological active compounds, the liquid products also show high radical scavenging activity, that is 78.5% against DPPH and 47.2% against superoxide radicals. The antibacterial assays show that the liquid product obtained from hydrothermal treatment at 140°C has better activity than the extract, with inhibition rate of 61.1 and 97.2% against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively.
Metal-Metal Cooperativity in Well-defined Dinuclear Complexes
Authors:   , Bienenmann Roel Laurentius Maria
Published: August 2024

Man-made chemicals - from materials to pharmaceuticals - are everywhere in our modern world. These chemicals need to be produced and to do so, chemists need the right chemical tools. These tools are known as catalysts. Currently, the catalysts that are typically used to make complicated chemicals, such as pharmaceuticals, are often made with rare and expensive metals. Because of the scarcity and cost of these metals, chemists have been looking for ways to use more abundant metals instead.

One strategy to enable the use of abundant metals is to have two metal atoms work together in a catalyst. However, very little is known about the reactivity of such dinuclear catalysts, which makes it difficult to rationally design catalysts that have this cooperativity between two metals.

In this thesis, the PNNP expanded pincer ligand is used as a rigid framework to hold two abundant metal atoms close to each other. This way, the (potentially cooperative) reactivity of these metals can be studied. Using this approach, it was found that such well-defined catalysts with two metals react very differently from similar catalysts with only one metal. Moreover, it was possible to match the reactivity of these catalyst containing two metals with a reaction in which this specific reactivity is required. In this reaction, the catalyst with two metals therefore outperformed the analogous catalyst with a single metal. These results can help understand how we could design better dinuclear catalysts in the future.

Genetics is a part of biological science that contains topics such as genetic structure, protein synthesis, cell division, and inheritance of traits. Genetics is one of the most commonly found misconceptions and difficulties in learning this material due to its complex, abstract and rapid development. To overcome these problems, it is necessary to analyse TPACK and analyse various learning strategies used in teaching genetics so that it can be taken into consideration for teachers in teaching genetics in the classroom. This research uses descriptive qualitative method by collecting relevant research in the form of national and international articles available on various websites. From the results of the research, it was found that teachers have applied a variety of models, methods, and media in learning genetics. The success in this learning process certainly depends on the teacher's TPACK analysis skills so that the teacher not only pays attention to the content but also can adjust it to the needs of students.

A premium reserve is the amount of funds that the insurance company needs to prepare for the payment of liability benefits when a claim occurs.  One method of calculating premiums is the commissioners method which is an extension of the prospective reserve method.The main factor in the actuarial calculation is the mortality rate that can be determined using the WOOLHOUSE mortality law. This study aims to determine the size of the life insurance premiums reserve using the commisioners method and the WOLHOUSE mortality laws. The calculation of the premium reserve is linked to the determination of a person's chances of survival over a period of years of WOALHOUSE law which is then used to find the value of the insurance, the initial annuity value, the annual premium, the modified premiums based on the Commissioners method, and the amount of the premie reserve at the end of the year. The study was conducted on a 25-year-old woman who was enrolled in a dwiguna life insurance program with a 25 year liability period and a 23 year premium payment period at a 4% interest rate with a liability of Rs. 500,000,000. The results of the analysis showed that the large reserves of premiums obtained at the end of the period of liability with the Commissioners method and the WOOLHOUSE mortality law are equal to the given reservation value, so that the insurance company is prepared to give the amount of reservation promised to the policyholder.

Vector is one of the most important subjects in mathematics, but many students face difficulties in learning vector. To find out the cause, this study is conducted to find the differences and similarities in learning opportunities presented in the vector tasks from Indonesian and Singaporean mathematics textbooks. Therefore, vector tasks from the two books are compared with the aspects of representations, contextuality, and response types. Firstly, this study finds out that the chosen Indonesian textbook provides fewer learning opportunities than the chosen Singaporean textbook in terms of vector tasks. Secondly, this study also finds out that the Indonesian textbook tends to present tasks in visual representation, while the Singaporean textbook tends to present tasks in pure mathematics form. Thirdly, this study also finds out that Indonesian textbook usually uses applicative tasks that correlate with real-life situations, while the Singaporean textbook does the otherwise. Lastly, this study also finds out that both textbooks mostly use close-ended tasks.

Educational statistics is a crucial course that students of Islamic Education Management must master. However, students whose majors are not directly related to mathematics often face difficulties in learning educational statistics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a learning model that can improve students' understanding and is applicable to practical courses such as educational statistics. One promising alternative is the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model. This study was conducted at IAIN Takengon Aceh and involved 23 fourth-semester Islamic Education Management students in the 2023/2024 academic year. The research data were collected in the form of video recordings, photos, and final project reports. The data were analyzed using qualitative techniques and presented through narrative description. The results showed that the PjBL model is effective in promoting an understanding of descriptive statistics, fostering collaboration, and providing opportunities for students to develop problem-solving skills

Computational thinking skills are important and need to be developed in the 21st century. This study aims to describe the computational thinking ability of vocational school students based on mathematical literacy skills in the era of society 5.0. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. This research was carried out at SMKN 1 Gunung Putri with research subjects namely students in grades XI RPL 1 and XI RPL 2 totaling 66 students. From the research subjects, 3 students were selected who had high, medium, and low mathematical literacy skills. The data collection technique was carried out using CT ability tests and CT ability interviews. The data analysis techniques used are data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This study shows that overall students' computational thinking skills are still relatively low because they have not mastered and applied all the indicators to the maximum. In students with high mathematical literacy skills, able to involve decomposition indicators, pattern recognition, algorithmic thinking, abstraction and generalization in type 1 and 2 problems. Students with moderate mathematical literacy skills are able to involve decomposition indicators, pattern recognition, and algorithmic thinking in type 1 and 2 problems. Students with low mathematical literacy skills, able to involve decomposition indicators and pattern recognition in type 1 and 2 problems, as well as algorithmic thinking indicators only in type 2 problems.

Technological progress speeds up human movement, the distribution of goods, and service provision. PT JNE, a prominent firm in Indonesia, concentrates on delivering goods swiftly and with comprehensive services.. On the other hand, problems include daily changes in delivery, delays, less than optimal routes, and expensive gasoline. The shortest ideal route for the transportation of products is found using dynamic programming and a backward recursive equation technique in this study. The Medan Belawan District as well as the JNE Medan Representative Office provided the data that was used. The findings show that a route of a → f → d → c → g → b → e → h → a is the ideal total distance for goods delivery using a dynamic programming graph is 12,2 km, with an average courier covering 16,5 km. Based on data analysis, this shows a 26% increase in efficiency over the current routes. The layout of the routes makes it easier for couriers to choose the fastest route.

Published: August 2024

Background/Aims: After 9/11, multiple government agencies instituted programs aimed at developing medical radiation countermeasures (MRCs) for two syndromes lethal within weeks of a limited nuclear attack; the hematopoietic-acute radiation syndrome (H-ARS) and the higher-dose gastrointestinal-acute radiation syndrome (GI-ARS). While re-purposing drugs that enhance marrow repopulation treats H-ARS, no mitigator protects GI tract. Methods: We recently reported anti-ceramide 6B5 single-chain variable fragment (scFv) pre-treatment abrogates ongoing small intestinal endothelial apoptosis to rescue Lgr5+ stem cells, preventing GI-ARS lethality in C57B/L6J mice. Here, with US Department of Defense support, we provide evidence that humanized anti-ceramide scFv (CX-01) is a promising prophylactic MRC for first responders, who risk exposure upon entering a radiation-contaminated site. Results: CX-01, when delivered up to 90 min before irradiation, is highly-effective in preventing small intestinal endothelial apoptosis in mice and lethality in both sexes. Unexpectedly, females require an ~2-fold higher CX-01 dose than males for full protection. CX-01 is effective subcutaneously and intramuscularly, a property critical for battlefield use. Increasing the maximally-effective dose 5-fold does not extend duration of bioeffectiveness. Conclusion: While CX-01 prevents GI-ARS lethality, structural modification to extend half-life may be necessary to optimize first responder prophylaxis.
