El carácter científico del psicoanálisis: Freud en la discusión actual
Authors: Leserre Daniel
Published: July 2023

La discusión respecto del carácter científico del psicoanálisis es continuada y multifacética. En la actualidad la extensión y variedad de aspectos implicados en ella sigue aun incrementándose. En este contexto el presente trabajo plantea para su análisis y evaluación una reconsideración de la argumentación de Freud respecto del carácter científico del psicoanálisis. Frente a una difundida visión que concibe la perspectiva científica de Freud como un reflejo de caracterizaciones generales de época, por ejemplo, positivismo, el presente trabajo apoyándose en líneas de investigación sobre Freud recientes, propone la reconsideración de su perspectiva de modo más específico y matizado. Sostiene que ella se basa en una argumentación basada en una concepción flexible de la metodología ciencia y en una concepción de la ciencia como forma cultural en desarrollo; argumentación compuesta de partes integradas, unificada y consistente, mantenida a través de toda la obra de Freud. La reconsideración del diseño de la argumentación de Freud permite sostener entonces que su propia formulación es fructífera aún para el presente en tanto posibilita, justifica y requiere la conexión del psicoanálisis con el desarrollo del conocimiento.

ASTER sensor data is among the most potent satellite data accessible for doing geological investigations, with images for the whole earth's surface. In order to test the capability of this sensor to detect places with geochemical alterations, photographs of Mount Seiver Daghi in the western Iranian province of Samal were utilized in this study. This region, which comprises of magmatic and volcanic terrain, is part of the Arsbaran territory and is covered by intrusive masses with alluvial and sedimentary deposits. To conduct this study, an ASTER measuring frame was utilized, which, after performing atmospheric corrections using the internal average relative reflectance (IARR) method of false color composite images and principal component analysis (PCA), was able to differentiate between different lithological units using the Band assignment method, full-pixel methods of spectral angle mapper (SAM) and base spectrum algorithm of spectral  feature fitting (SFF) as well as sub-pixel methods of matched filtering. The study demonstrates that the approach of principal component analysis and false color composition is efficient for distinguishing sedimentary rock units from igneous rock units, and its application is suggested for the designated rock units. Due to the lack of spectral characteristics of feldspars and quartz in the short infrared wavelength range, the basic spectrum methods utilized in this work are incapable of identifying such minerals. It is not advised to use these algorithms to distinguish between various magmatic units.

Abstract
Background/ Aims: Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are common causes of dry eye disease (DED) and autologous serum is used when artificial tears are not sufficient. Our aim was to compare serum growth factor and inflammatory cytokine levels of SS and DM patients with the healthy individuals.
Methods: Twenty-three SS patients (mean age 52.70±7.55 years), 25 DM patients (mean age 56.68±6.53 years), and 23 healthy subjects (mean age 51.70±9.14 years) were included in the study. After detailed ophthalmological examination, Schirmer test, tear break-up time (TBUT) and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scores were measured. Serum levels of six different proinflammatory interleukins (IL), five growth factors, matrix metalloproteinase-9, and fibronectin were measured by immunoassay. One-way ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis tests and Dunn-Bonferroni post hoc analysis were used for comparison and p<0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Schirmer test and TBUT were significantly lower in the SS group (2.08±1.72 mm/5 min and 3.08±2.08 s) than in the DR (10.24±4.63 mm/5 min and 4.20±3.09 s) and control groups (13.30±5.95 mm/5 min and 9.00±1.75 s) (p<0.001). Among the parameters studied, mean serum IL-23 level was significantly higher in the SS group (156.66±207.94 pg/mL) than in the DM and control groups (73.48±95.91 and 69.59±105.39 pg/mL, respectively) (p<0.05). Serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) level was lowest in DM patients (DM: 12.89±21.09, SS: 30.77±19.85, and control: 27.08±21.93 ng/mL) (p<0.05). Sjögren’s syndrome disease activity index (ESSDAI) showed a negative correlation with TBUT and a positive correlation with IL-1, IL-2 and fibronectin (p<0.005).
Conclusions: Except IL-23 and IGF-1, the contents of serum obtained from patients with SS and DM are similar with the healthy individuals. Therefore, autologous serum seems to be a good option to replace deficient tear fluid in these subjects.

Published: July 2023

The methodology proposed herein for identifying potentially productive zones from yield data captured by harvester onboard sensors aims to establish a viable and easy-to-implement method for defining management zones by running statistical procedures on data from the harvest monitor. To do this, yield data from maize (2018 winter/second growing season) and soybean (2019 growing season) were converted into ɀ-score values and compared at a 99.8% confidence interval of standard normal distribution ɀ. Simultaneously, the degree of linearity was evaluated and Jackknife resampling, for removing data outside the range (outliers) established by the ɀ table (<-3.09 and >3.09). Next, yield score-ɀ algebraic mapping was performed to obtain a mean crop map, then applying three classes from the probability intervals of a plus and minus deviation, resulting in a map of potentially productive zones (below average, average and above average yield). Using this method, 5.72% of the area exhibited low yield potential, 90.71% average potential and 3.57% high yield potential. This analysis method was easy and quick to perform and provided summarized information, facilitating additional field surveys and providing a basis for decision-making.

Published: July 2023

O leite ovino é utilizado em escala global para a produção de queijos e outros derivados, ou para consumo in natura. A produção de leite e de seus derivados, seja formal ou informal, faz parte de uma cadeia produtiva, com menor ou maior grau de organização dependendo do desenvolvimento regional da atividade. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever e discutir os elementos da cadeia produtiva de leite ovino no Brasil utilizando a metodologia SWOT. Este estudo foi desenvolvido em 2017 a partir de pesquisa direta com agentes ligados ao setor produtivo de leite ovino de 15 propriedades distribuídas em sete Estados do Brasil. Os agentes apontaram e descreveram os pontos fortes e fracos, as oportunidades e ameaças dos segmentos de insumos, produção, processamento, e venda e distribuição de produtos e, posteriormente, esses elementos foram organizados em uma matriz SWOT. No segmento produção, a baixa adoção de técnicas adequadas de produção, controle de dados e conhecimento dos custos de produção são fatores críticos. No segmento processamento, aspectos positivos foram apontados para as características físico-químicas do leite ovino, enquanto aspectos relacionados com a legislação foram considerados pontos críticos. A falta de cultura e conhecimento do consumidor sobre os produtos derivados do leite ovino são pontos críticos que afetam o segmento de venda e distribuição. A pequena escala de produção e a baixa demanda pelo leite e seus derivados, assim como a falta de insumos específicos para a atividade, também são pontos críticos da cadeia produtiva. Entretanto, o uso de insumos de outras atividades pecuárias (principalmente da bovinocultura leiteira) é uma opção importante para reduzir os custos de produção e otimizar o uso dos recursos na ovinocultura leiteira. Técnicas adequadas de produção e de processamento do leite ovino devem ser implementadas, assim como o controle de dados e de custos da produção. Apesar dos sistemas de produção estudados serem heterogêneos, alguns apresentam indicadores econômicos positivos, o que demonstra o potencial produtivo e econômico da atividade. Nesse cenário, a produção intensiva de produtos com maior valor agregado e o crescimento do mercado consumidor são fatores que estimulam o crescimento da ovinocultura leiteira, e são considerados oportunidades, de modo que campanhas de marketing para promover o consumo de derivados do leite devem ser realizadas. O pequeno volume de leite produzido gera oportunidades ao setor pela falta de concorrência e pelo grande mercado potencial a ser explorado, especialmente nos grandes centros, com maior poder aquisitivo.

Published: July 2023

This article highlights the significance of geogrids and geosynthetic materials in addressing geotechnical engineering challenges and provides a foundation for further research and advancements in this field. The article explores the role of geogrids and geosynthetic materials in modern geotechnical engineering. Geogrids are three-dimensional structures made of polymer materials with apertures or cells filled with soil or other materials. They are extensively utilized for soil reinforcement, erosion control, surface stability, and ensuring the durability of various geotechnical structures. Geosynthetic materials, in turn, are artificial materials produced from polymers and are used for soil filtration, separation, protection, and reinforcement. They find wide application in various geotechnical systems and constructions, including drainage systems, hydrological barriers, road construction, and airports. The article also describes the Strain-control method for testing geosynthetic materials, allowing for result adjustments relative to specimen dimensions. The research underscores the significance of geogrids and geosynthetic materials in contemporary engineering practice and provides a foundation for further investigations and developments in the field of geotechnics.
Персональные концепции безопасности студентов экономического профиля: содержание и связь с идентичностью
Authors: Тылец Валерий , Краснянская Татьяна , Колиниченко Ирина
Published: July 2023

В обществе сохраняется потребность снижения виктимности и повышения эффективности человека в различных аспектах жизни. Ее удовлетворение авторы связывают с изучением персональных концепций безопасности субъектов. Профессиональная сфера как одна из наиболее уязвимых, с точки зрения безопасности, задает важнейший параметр изучения персональных концепций безопасности. Под персональными концепциями безопасности в статье понимаются ментальные конструкции, интегрирующие субъектные представления, ценностные смыслы, интересы, намерения и т.п. психические явления, выражающие субъектную позицию и задающие возможный вектор активности их носителя в сфере безопасности. Целью представленного исследования было выявление особенностей персональных концепций безопасности и их связи с идентичностью у студентов экономического профиля подготовки. Использовались ассоциативный эксперимент и модифицированная методика «Кто Я?». Респондентами выступили 103 студента университетов России в возрасте от 17 до 23 лет. Персональные концепции безопасности выстраиваются респондентами с использованием схожих (идентичных или полярных по модальности) категорий: «правильные/неправильные действия», «хорошие/плохие люди», «позитивная/негативная реальность», «плохой итог», «субъектные характеристики». При построении персональных концепций безопасности ведущим является использование ресурсного измерения, концепции опасности – темпорального измерения. Сфера применения частных концепций безопасности оказывается вторичной. Структура персональных концепций связана со сформированностью разных групп категорий персональной и социальной идентичности. Понимание особенностей построения персональных концепций безопасности субъектами является источником интерпретации поведенческих нарушений в сфере безопасности и вероятностного прогнозирования их активности в условиях, релевантных опасности/безопасности. Учет при этом состояния персональной и социальной идентичности может способствовать построению эффективной деятельности психолога по своевременному диагностированию и сдерживанию различных процессов маргинализации личности.
Психологическая структура образа физического «Я» женщин, занимающихся «мягкими техниками» фитнеса
Authors: Лужбина Наталья , Чернышова Ольга
Published: July 2023

Данная работа была направлена на исследование структуры и компонентов образа физического «Я» женщин возраста средней зрелости (по классификации Э. Эриксона) в контексте занятий осознанными «мягкими техниками» фитнеса (пилатес, йога, бодифлекс, стретчинг, миофасциальный релиз и их сочетания). В качестве психодиагностического инструментария для исследования структуры и компонентов образа физического «Я» был использован опросник В.А. Лабунской «Оценочно-содержательная интерпретация компонентов внешнего облика». Методами математико-статистической обработки данных стали непараметрический критерий U Манна-Уитни и факторный анализ.  В исследовании принимали участие две группы женщин в возрасте от 30 до 60 лет (занимающиеся и не занимающиеся осознанными техниками фитнеса).  В результате исследования удалось выявить, что занятия «мягкими техниками» фитнеса формируют новую структуру образа физического «Я» занимающихся женщин, связанную с оценками телосложения и оформления внешнего облика, а также с характеристиками женственности лица и поведения.

The Way of Love according to Jesus (Jn 15:12-17)
Authors: Nguyễn Kim Danh
Published: July 2023

The two words "love" are frequently overused, especially among Christians. However, in John 15:12-17, Jesus teaches us a new way to love based on His own example. His new approach to love is to do what is best for others, to love truly, and to initiate romantic relationships. Accepting all gestures of love is the ultimate manifestation of divine love. Love is present everywhere and dominates everyone’s life. "Love one another" is also God's commandment. But love here is not love in a worldly way. People often only love those who love them, love those who seem to benefit them, and love according to their selfish nature. Jesus wants each of us to love one another as he has loved.

Elde edilen bulgulara göre, bir katılım bankası tarafından kullandırılan işletme sermayesi ve yatırım finansmanlarının KOBİ'ler üzerindeki etkisinin işletmelerin faaliyet gösterdiği bölge ve sektörlere göre farklılık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Örneğin, işletme sermayesi (murabaha)’nın KOBİ’lerin net hasılatlarına tüm bölgelerde ve üç sektörde pozitif, yatırım (murabaha ve leasing) finansman yöntemlerinin ise tüm bölgelerde ve dört sektördeki negatif etki ettiği görülmüştür. Dolayısıyla, faizsiz finansal sistemin daha fazla yatırım fonlarını harekete geçirip firmalara tahsis edeceği ve böylece yatırımları arttırıp reel sektörün büyümesini destekleyeceği kanaati oluşmaktadır. Bu analizin daha geniş bir veri seti ile yapılıp geleneksel banka fonları ile karşılaştırılması hem literatüre hem de katılım bankacılığının gelişimine katkı sağlayacaktır.
SISTEMAS ATMOSFÉRICOS ASSOCIADOS AOS TIPOS DE TEMPO DURANTE ANOS MUITO SECOS E MUITO CHUVOSOS NO MUNICÍPIO DE SÃO GONÇALO-RJ
Authors: Tórnio Carlos Augusto Abreu , Kede Maria Luiza Félix Marques
Published: July 2023

RESUMO: O objetivo deste trabalho é caracterizar o comportamento da precipitação pluvial no município de São Gonçalo-RJ, entre os anos de 2005 e 2018, identificando os anos considerados muito secos e muito chuvosos, e verificar os sistemas atmosféricos que se associam aos tipos de tempo observados. Para isso, a metodologia se baseou na classificação do comportamento da precipitação pela técnica dos quantis. Após isso, foi realizada a análise rítmica dos tipos de tempo dos meses correspondentes ao período chuvoso dos anos muito secos e muito chuvosos. A partir da técnica dos quantis, foram classificados como anos muito secos, aqueles cujo total anual for inferior a 897,77 mm (2007 e 2014), e como muito chuvosos, aqueles cujo total superou os 1284 mm (2008 e 2010). Nos anos muito chuvosos predominou a atuação de sistemas de baixa pressão como a mEc, formação de cavados, passagem de sistemas frontais e formação de ZCAS, fundamentais à manutenção das chuvas no Sudeste do Brasil. Já nos anos muito secos, esses fenômenos tiveram suas participações inibidas pelas influências da mPa vinda de Sul, e da mTa acoplada a ASAS, que agia com frequência pela costa leste.

Published: July 2023

RESUMO: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo investigar as alterações na paisagem relacionando com a agroecologia no assentamento Palmares, município de Araguatins/Tocantins. Os dados foram obtidos por meio da aplicação do Diagnóstico Rural Participativo, consultas em órgãos públicos, como o Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária e o Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, além de elaboração de representação cartográfica no software QGIS. Os resultados mostram que na área de estudo, a principal pressão antrópica sobre a paisagem é a introdução da pastagem, porém, destaca-se também a produção agroecológica. Verificou-se que é necessário a atuação do poder público, no que tange a serviços básicos, como apoio ao escoamento da produção, uma vez que os alimentos produzidos são agroecológicos, o que contribui para a manutenção dos elementos da paisagem, sobretudo a água, o solo e a vegetação, no assentamento Palmares.

On the Convergence of Hypergeometric to Binomial Distributions
Authors: Rupassara Upul , Sedai Bishnu
Published: July 2023

This study presents a measure-theoretic approach to estimate the upper bound on the total variation of the difference between hypergeometric and binomial distributions using the Kullback-Leibler information divergence. The binomial distribution can be used to find the probabilities associated with the binomial experiments. But if the sample size is large relative to the population size, the experiment may not be binomial, and a binomial distribution is not a good choice to find the probabilities associated with the experiment. The hypergeometric probability distribution is the appropriate probability model to be used when the sample size is large compared to the population size. An upper bound for the total variation in the distance between the hypergeometric and binomial distributions is derived using only the sample and population sizes. This upper bound is used to demonstrate how the hypergeometric distribution uniformly converges to the binomial distribution when the population size increases relative to the sample size.
A Metaheuristic Approach to Parameter Estimation of a Flexible Parametric Mixture Cure Rate Model with Interval-Censored Data
Authors: Borges P. , Campos M.
Published: July 2023

A flexible parametric mixture cure model, called bi-lognormal cure rate model or simply BLN model, is defined and studied. The BLN model can be effectively used to analyze survival dataset in the presence of long-term survivors, especially when the dataset presents the underlying phenomenon of latent competing risks or when there is evidence that a bimodal hazard function is appropriated to described it, which are advantages over other cure rate models found in the literature. We discuss the maximum likelihood estimation for the model parameters considering interval-censored data through the differential evolution algorithm that is a nature-inspired computing metaheuristic used for global optimization of functions defined in multidimensional spaces. This approach is also used because the likelihood function of the model is multimodal and the direct application of gradient methods in this case is not ideal, since such methods are local search methods with a high chance of getting stuck at a local maximum when the starting point is chosen outside the basin of attraction of a global maximum. In addition, a simulation study was implemented to compare the performance of differential evolution algorithm with the performance of the Newton-Raphson algorithm in terms of bias, root mean square error, and the coverage probability of the asymptotic confidence intervals for the parameters. Finally, an application of the BLN model to real data is presented to illustrate that it can provide a better fit than other mixture cure rate models.
Accommodation of Feminism in J. P Clark’s Wives Revolt
Authors: Shote Karena Goodness
Published: July 2023

Feminism has become a major topic of discussion and research in African drama over the years. Playwrights as well as critics have written numerous works on different aspects of feminism in Africa, including J. P. Clark’s Wives Revolt. But the burden of the African feminist ideology and the different ways it is reflected in the African feminist dramatic texts (the different dimensions of feminism) have not gotten the needed critical attention. This caught the attention of the current study. The study used a literary qualitative and analytical approach, with the primary play text chosen for the study being critically analysed using feminism as the guiding theory. The study concludes that all of the play chosen for the study is feminist text because it deals with the burden of the woman. Beyond this portrayal, the play deals with the place of women and their responses in different ways, thereby attending to the different strands of feminism. The study concludes that the only way to wholly appreciate this play is by connecting the various strands of feminism in their appreciation.
The Impact of Parental Economic Challenges on Women's Education in India
Authors: Jamatia Purna Laxmi
Published: July 2023

The extent of parental economic challenges faced by women in India has significant implications for their educational opportunities. Women in India often encounter numerous obstacles due to economic factors that hinder their ability to pursue education. Gender disparities in employment opportunities and income levels create an unfavorable environment for women, affecting their access to quality education. Limited financial resources and unequal pay contribute to the economic challenges faced by women. These challenges, coupled with cultural norms and societal expectations that prioritize women's roles as caregivers and homemakers, result in limited investment in girls' education. Additionally, the burden of domestic responsibilities falls disproportionately on women, further limiting their ability to pursue education. The consequences of these challenges are far-reaching, leading to increased dropout rates, delayed education, and limited educational choices for women. Addressing these challenges requires comprehensive efforts, including financial assistance, awareness campaigns, improving access to quality education, addressing domestic responsibilities, and promoting skill development. By implementing these strategies and interventions, India can mitigate the impact of parental economic challenges on women's education, promote equal educational opportunities, and empower women to pursue their educational aspirations.

This investigation examined the potential of incorporating Akan traditional games as an effective tool for enhancing classroom interaction in Ghanaian language classrooms. The study recognizes the importance of creating an engaging and interactive learning environment to facilitate language acquisition and cultural appreciation. Drawing upon previous research on the benefits of game-based learning, the paper investigates the specific role of Akan traditional games in promoting communication, collaboration, and cultural understanding among students. The investigation employs a single-methods research design, qualitative data collection techniques. A sample of (100) participants from Berekum Municipal, Mampong Municipal and Sekondi – Takoradi Municipal were selected, to represent a diverse range of socio-economic backgrounds and language abilities as population sampling. Observation and interviews were conducted to gather qualitative data, allowing deeper understanding of the factors supporting the investigation. The investigation revealed that, traditional games facilitate communication skills, preservation of Cultural Heritage, teamwork, enhanced classroom interaction. The study identified the benefits of incorporating traditional games in terms of learner motivation, engagement, language proficiency and ability to promote participation and excellent engagement. The theory that buttressed the investigation was Vygotsky (1930) sociocultural theory. This theory emphasizes the role of social interaction and cultural context in children's cognitive development.

Published: July 2023

The aim of this study is to reveal the effect of the flipped learning model used in the laboratory practices course of pre-service teachers on their conceptual understanding and to evaluate their opinions about this model. In order to achieve this aim, science teaching laboratory applications course was conducted with the flipped learning model with undergraduate students studying at the education faculty of a state university in a metropolitan city in Turkey in the spring semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. The research was carried out with 47 pre-service teachers studying in the department of science teaching. The study was carried out with the mixed research method in which quantitative and qualitative models were used. In the quantitative part, the quasi-experimental design with the pre-test post-test control group was used, while the case study was used in the qualitative part. The Force and Motion Conceptual Comprehension Test, developed by Thornton and Sokoloff in 1995 and adapted in to Turkish by Kanlı and Gülçiçek in 2006, was used to collect data in the quantitative part of the study. For the qualitative part, a semi-structured interview form was used. Quantitative data were analyzed using the SPSS package program. Qualitative data were analyzed by descriptive analysis method according to the themes determined by two researchers. At the end of the study, no difference was found between the post-tests of the conceptual understanding levels of the groups. The pre-service teachers expressed the positive aspects of the flipped learning model as follows: it offers the opportunity to prepare before the lesson, being able to repeat the lessons, experience different classroom environment, facilitating the applications in the lesson, being student-centered, contributing to the individual learning speed, providing learning by understanding. In addition, according to the pre-service teachers, it was observed that this model expressed opinions such as it is difficult to cooperate, time cannot be used efficiently, interaction is low, learning by doing is limited, and it does not improve teaching skills.

Published: July 2023

The aim of this research is to investigate the development of preschool education pre-service teachers’ (PST) understanding and evaluation of a socio-scientific topic, namely food additives by using debate as a teaching technique. Qualitative research was designed in a case study model with purposeful sampling in which sixty PST attended Mother and Child Nutrition course. We used qualitative data instruments including pre- and post-reflective forms (RF), assignment papers and video recordings. Data were analyzed using open coding and cross coding. The results indicated that PST’s opinions about food additives may change with the use of debate and scientific articles. The findings also showed that it can be possible to improve their understanding of scientific knowledge about food additives, sources of information, evaluation of sources of information with the help of well-designed debate applications. The evaluation of the components of evidence, sources of evidence, arguments, and expert judgment as well as inclusion of these components in teacher education programs are recommended for further research
