Authors:   Master of the Faculty of Preschool and Primary Education, Bukhara State Pedagogical Institute, Uzbekistan, Xasanovna Bafayeva Dildora
Published: January 2025

The article considers the use of innovative technologies in the formation of competence of primary school students as a pressing pedagogical problem. The ability to evaluate, organize, and understand information is currently the most important resource in the context of global mass communication. Global informatization naturally affects the educational process, and the main task of the education system is to identify modern trends in the development of society and the introduction of pedagogical technologies into the educational process that form a positive experience and reflect modern social changes, bringing the educational process into an orderly, controlled system. The purpose of the study is to find effective ways to demonstrate information activities, to build a model that promotes the development of ICT competence in primary school students by means of disciplines of the mathematical cycle. The possibilities and prospects for the introduction of various educational technologies for the development of key competencies in primary school children are assessed. The direct development of a schoolchild affects the development of the entire educational environment, which makes the state more stable from the social side, with greater opportunities for entering the international arena and its contribution to the overall development of education, in particular primary school. The article also describes the main types of innovative technologies, their impact on the educational process and teaching practice, and touches upon the problems and challenges that teachers face when introducing innovative methods into the educational process.

Reformulating the meta-analytical random effects model of the standardized mean difference as a mixture model
Authors: Suero Manuel , Botella Juan , Duran Juan I. , Blazquez-Rincón Desirée
Published: January 2025

The classical meta-analytical random effects model (REM) has some weaknesses when applied to the standardized mean difference, g. Essentially, the variance of the studies involved is taken as the conditional variance, given a δ value, instead of the unconditional variance. As a consequence, the estimators of the variances involve a dependency between the g values and their variances that distorts the estimates. The classical REM is expressed as a linear model and the variance of g is obtained through a framework of components of variance. Although the weaknesses of the REM are negligible in practical terms in a wide range of realistic scenarios, all together, they make up an approximate, simplified version of the meta-analytical random effects model. We present an alternative formulation, as a mixture model, and provide formulas for the expected value, variance and skewness of the marginal distribution of g. A Monte Carlo simulation supports the accuracy of the formulas. Then, unbiased estimators of both the mean and the variance of the true effects are proposed, and assessed through Monte Carlo simulations. The advantages of the mixture model formulation over the “classical” formulation are discussed.

Published: January 2025

In this article, we discuss operationalizations and examples of experimental design in eye-tracking research. First, we distinguish direct operationalization for entities like saccades, which are closely aligned with their original concepts, and indirect operationalization for concepts not directly measurable, such as attention or mind-wandering. The latter relies on selecting a measurable proxy. Second, we highlight the variability in algorithmic operationalizations and emphasize that changing parameters can affect outcome measures. Transparency in reporting these parameters and algorithms is crucial for comparisons across studies. Third, we provide references to studies for common operationalizations in eye-tracking research and discuss key operationalizations in reading research. Fourth, the IO-model is introduced as a tool to help researchers operationalize difficult concepts. Finally, we present three example experiments with useful methods for eye-tracking research, encouraging readers to consider these examples for inspiration in their own experiments.
Combining automation and expertise: A semi-automated approach to correcting eye-tracking data in reading tasks
Authors: Al Madi Naser , Torra Brett , Li Yixin , Tariq Najam
Published: January 2025

In reading tasks, drift can move fixations from one word to another or even another line, invalidating the eye-tracking recording. Manual correction is time-consuming and subjective, while automated correction is fast – yet limited in accuracy. In this paper, we present Fix8 (Fixate), an open-source GUI tool that offers a novel semi-automated correction approach for eye-tracking data in reading tasks. The proposed approach allows the user to collaborate with an algorithm to produce accurate corrections faster without sacrificing accuracy. Through a usability study (N = 14) we assess the time benefits of the proposed technique, and measure the correction accuracy in comparison to manual correction. In addition, we assess subjective workload through the NASA Task Load Index, and user opinions through Likert-scale questions. Our results show that, on average, the proposed technique was 44% faster than manual correction without any sacrifice of accuracy. In addition, users reported a preference for the proposed technique, lower workload, and higher perceived performance compared to manual correction. Fix8 is a valuable tool that offers useful features for generating synthetic eye-tracking data, visualization, filters, data converters, and eye-movement analysis in addition to the main contribution in data correction.

Legal Aspects of Medical Waste Management in Health Care Facilities and Protection of Environmental Health
Authors: Nurhayati Siti , Racha Noviati Sri
Published: January 2025

Hazardous and Toxic Material Waste/ (Hazardous and Toxic Materials) is the residue of a business and/or activity that contains hazardous and toxic materials (B3). One of the B3 wastes is medical waste, which is infectious waste produced from activities in healthcare facilities, both in the form of solid and liquid waste. This medical waste is generated from activities such as hospitals, health centers, independent practice places, clinics, etc. facilities. Medical waste is an infectious object or item that must be managed properly, starting from the time of collection, and transportation, to the destruction process. Therefore, there needs to be legally binding regulations related to waste and its management. This research is descriptive and will produce an overview of B3 waste management regulations, especially medical waste with the protection of environmental health rights. The research approach used is a normative legal approach. The data collected is in the form of secondary data, while the analysis method used is qualitative. The results of the study show that the more human activities increase, the more waste is produced. Medical waste is one of the B3 wastes. Medical waste is waste that is directly generated from the diagnosis and treatment of patients in healthcare facilities, such as polyclinics, nursing, surgery, obstetrics, autopsies, and laboratory rooms. To avoid environmental risks, medical waste management must be done properly. Various laws and regulations for B3 waste management have been established, including Government Regulation Number 19 of 1994 (PP 19/1994) concerning Waste Management of Hazardous and Toxic Materials up to PP 101/2014. The provisions regarding B3 waste management are based on Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management (UUPLH). However, medical waste still needs to be synchronized with the provisions in Law Number 36 of 2009 concerning Health. Efforts to protect environmental health are carried out through the regulation and management of medical waste in healthcare facilities. Through the regulation and management of medical waste, it can prevent environmental pollution prevent the transmission of diseases (infections), and avoid the misuse of waste, so that it can maintain environmental health.

Introdução : Instrumentos de avaliação de investimentos externos no mundo e seus debates no Brasil
Authors: Baumann Renato
Published: January 2025

O livro presentam-se de forma exaustiva e sem precedentes para os leitores brasileiros as experiências de quatorze países, mais a União Europeia (UE), com mecanismos de monitoramento de capitais externos. Fica claro, a partir da riqueza de informações sistematizadas, que, embora o objetivo de monitoramento seja um atributo comum a todos os casos, as estruturas são bastante diversas entre os países. A análise factual é complementada por um conjunto de textos relativos a experiências pontuais e sobre a forma como as agências multilaterais, que se espera sejam estimuladoras da maior liberdade aos fluxos de investimento, consideram a existência desses mecanismos e a importância de os países receptores disporem dessa ferramenta. Esse conjunto de informações é complementado por reflexões sobre o que seria factível no caso brasileiro – caso houvesse a decisão política de adotar política nesse sentido – a partir da análise da legislação vigente, dos projetos em curso no Congresso Nacional, de um sem-número de entrevistas e de discussões desse material em diversos seminários, com públicos variados.
Dynamic Evolution of Magnetic Flux Ropes in Active Region 11429. II. Magnetic Characteristic of the Footpoints During the Preeruption and Eruption Phases
Authors: Zhang Yin , Huang Jing , Liu Jihong , Yang Shangbin , Yang Yunfei , Tan Baolin
Published: January 2025

Magnetic flux rope (MFRs) are the most probable core structure of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Their footpoints on the photosphere are the only feature for which their magnetic properties can be accurately measured, and to some extent, determine the property of the whole MFR. So far, the magnetic properties of footpoints are still a mystery. Y. Zhang et al. presented the dynamic evolution of four MFRs involved in a major eruption. For this special event, the footpoints of the MFRs could be identified by extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) brightening and MFR morphology during the preeruption phase, and by conjunction, EUV dimming during the eruption phase. This is a new effort to identify the footpoints of MFRs during the preeruption phase. This identification discloses that all footpoints originate out of the umbra and penumbra of the sunspots. The footpoint areas and magnetic flux during the preeruption phase are about 107 km2 and around the order of 1019–1020 Mx, respectively. During the eruption phase, the footpoint area and the magnetic flux are about 108 km2 and around the order of 1020 Mx, respectively. The temporal evolution of the magnetic features around the footpoints disclose that all footpoint pairs belong to nonconjugated opposite polarities. This observational evidence will help us to understand the magnetic nature of MFRs and their associated CMEs.

Published: January 2025

Metabarcoding is invaluable for understanding trophic interactions, enabling high-resolution and rapid dietary assessments. However, it requires a robust DNA barcode reference library for accurate taxa identification. This dataset has been generated in the framework of the InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI) and Agrivole project. The integration of these two projects was crucial, as Agrivole aimed to investigate the trophic niche of small mammals in Trás-os-Montes Region through DNA metabarcoding, which required a reliable plant DNA barcode library for this same region. Given the large number of species not yet represented in international databases, a survey of local plants was essential to fill this gap. Thus, this study created an accurate DNA reference database for the plants of the Trás-os-Montes Region of Portugal.

The current DNA reference database contains 632 vascular plant samples, all morphologically identified and belonging to 435 species. This represents 14% and 38.7% of the total known plant species for Portugal and the study area, respectively.

Of the 1781 barcode sequences provided in this dataset, 1099 contain new information (61.7%) at different levels: 254 (13.6%, ITS2: 41, trnL-ef: 126, trnL-gh: 87) are completely new to GenBank and/or BOLD databases at the time of publication, 438 (24.6%, ITS2: 59, trnL-ef: 173, trnL-gh: 206) are new records for a given species and 407 (22.9%, ITS2: 187, trnL-ef: 206, trnL-gh: 14) provide additional information (e.g. different bp length, intraspecific genetic variability); the remaining 682 sequences (38.3%) are equal (100% identity) to sequences already publicly available for the identified species. Overall, this dataset represents a significant contribution to the genetic knowledge of vascular plants represented in public libraries. This is one of the public releases of the IBI database, which provides genetic and distributional data for several taxa.

All vouchers are deposited in the Herbarium of the Museum of Natural History and Science of the University of Porto (MHNC-UP) and their DNA barcodes are publicly available in the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD), NCBI GenBank online databases and International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC).

Macadamia trees, the most economically important Proteaceae perennial crop, are globally renowned for their edible nuts. During our surveys of microfungi associated with macadamia in China and Thailand, we isolated three saprobic fungi from dead macadamia branches. Our multigene phylogenetic analyses (ITS, LSU, SSU, tef1-α, TUB2, and ACT loci), genealogical concordance phylogenetic species recognition (GCPSR) with a pairwise homoplasy index (PHI) test, and morphological characteristics led to the discovery of two new species, Dothiorella macadamiae and Phaeoacremonium chiangmaiense, and one new record, Melomastia puerensis. We provide morphological descriptions, photo plates, phylogenetic analysis results, and PHI test results of the two new species, along with comparisons with closely related taxa. These findings have global implications for understanding the diversity of microfungi associated with macadamia trees.
Juridictions constitutionnelles africaines et retour à l’ordre constitutionnel : la dimension électorale
Authors: Atangana Amougou Jean-Louis
Published: January 2025

Quel a été le rôle des juridictions constitutionnelles face à l’ordre constitutionnel en Afrique durant ces trois dernières décennies ? Que ce soit en tant que juge de la constitutionnalité des lois, régulateur du fonctionnement des pouvoirs publics ou en tant que juge des élections, le juge constitutionnel se trouve désormais au centre de toutes les procédures et problématiques qui touchent à l’État de droit et à l’ordre constitutionnel. De notre étude, il ressort de l’observation de la vie politique que le juge constitutionnel subsaharien chargé de veiller au bon fonctionnement des pouvoirs publics, de contrôler la constitutionnalité des lois et de protéger les droits fondamentaux des citoyens apparaît comme le meilleur garant de l’ordre constitutionnel en ce qu’il cumule souvent les attributions de juge constitutionnel classique et celles de juge électoral. L’étude tente d’explorer cet angle mort du droit constitutionnel en proposant d’observer et d’analyser le rôle du juge constitutionnel dans son rapport avec l’ordre constitutionnel soit directement à travers l’organisation des élections ou indirectement à travers la sélection des candidats. Le résultat est qu’en Afrique comme ailleurs et peut-être plus en Afrique, si les juridictions constitutionnelles contribuent à la conservation de l’ordre constitutionnel, elles peuvent aussi malheureusement se muer en organes de déstabilisation de cet ordre constitutionnel.
Les dynamiques inconstitutionnelles en Afrique noire francophone : sortir d’une vision enchanteresse de l’ordre constitutionnel
Authors: Ateba Arnold Martial
Published: January 2025

Le respect et la mise en application des constitutions en Afrique noire francophone font l’objet d’une littérature controversée. Le discours dominant est celui du non-respect des constitutions. Il s’illustre notamment par la rupture de ou le retour à l’ordre constitutionnel. Se rangeant, ainsi, sur l’axiome que l’ordre fonde le droit, cette vision sécrète, cependant, des impuretés. La sociologie politique du droit, comme trame théorique mobilisée renseignant sur les tensions entre droit et légitimité politique, permet de lire les trajectoires croisées et singulières du constitutionnalisme en Afrique subsaharienne. Les luttes autour des successions présidentielles en constituent le site empirique d’observation depuis 1990.
Le droit transitoire en question(s)
Authors: Hourquebie Fabrice
Published: January 2025

L’article interroge la signification de ce que serait le droit transitoire, notamment mobilisé dans les périodes de transitions politiques et constitutionnelles que connaissent un certain nombre d’États d’Afrique francophone, pour essayer de le distinguer de notions voisines comme le droit transitionnel, le droit intérimaire ou le droit intermédiaire. De l’acception retenue, découlent des normes spécifiques (souvent regroupées sous la bannière du droit constitutionnel des crises) et des institutions singulières, comme la justice transitionnelle, dont la qualification ne lève pas nécessairement toutes les ambiguïtés sur son rapport au droit constitutionnel transitoire.
Les coups d’État et le processus de rétablissement de l’ordre constitutionnel en Afrique
Authors: Itoula Kifoumba Alain
Published: January 2025

Tout pouvoir politique, quelle que soit sa nature, est encadré par les règles juridiques, principalement constitutionnelles. C’est dans ce contexte qu’en Afrique, après un coup d’État militaire, les auteurs du putsch s’attèlent à reconstituer l’ordre constitutionnel, suspendu ou abrogé par leur prise de pouvoir. Depuis 2012, le constat est qu’il y a une recrudescence des coups d’État, en particulier en Afrique de l’Ouest et centrale qui suspend la constitution et emporte le chef de l’État. La conséquence est qu’ils font rentrer le continent dans un cycle de renouvellement quasi perpétuel du nouveau constitutionnalisme introduit dans les années 1990. En ce sens que, lorsque l’ordre constitutionnel n’arrive plus à assurer ses fonctions d’encadrer le pouvoir et de garantir les droits et libertés fondamentales, parce que corrompu par la majorité au pouvoir, le coup d’État apparait comme un moyen de le suspendre et de le rétablir. Il s’agira de mettre en évidence la stratégie mise en place par les putschistes pour reconstruire l’ordre constitutionnel.

Doxycycline en prévention des infections sexuellement transmissibles, pratiques d’utilisation : revue narrative de la littérature
Authors: de Germay Sibylle , Mouche Liliane , Perino Justine , Cazanave Charles
Published: January 2025

Introduction : L’utilisation de la doxycycline pour prévenir certaines infections sexuellement transmissibles (IST), en dehors d’un environnement de recherche contrôlé, est un fait avéré depuis plusieurs années. But de l’étude : L’objectif de cette étude était de décrire l’utilisation de la doxycycline en prévention des IST hors cadre de la recherche, à travers une revue narrative de la littérature, incluant l’analyse d’un réseau social. Résultats : Au total, 11 références éligibles ont été identifiées, dont 9 lettres et 2 articles originaux. Un article de presse et six discussions Reddit ® ont également été sélectionnés. La plupart des utilisateurs de doxycycline identifiés dans cette étude étaient des hommes ayant des relations sexuelles avec d’autres hommes, avec de nombreux partenaires et sans utiliser de préservatifs. La doxycycline était principalement prescrite par un médecin, mais certains utilisateurs se procuraient le médicament sous sa forme vétérinaire sur Internet. La PrEP-VIH a été identifiée comme un facteur facilitant la décision de prendre de la doxycycline. Si la plupart des utilisateurs ont exprimé leur confiance dans son efficacité, certains ont émis des réserves quant à son incapacité à fournir une protection complète contre toutes les IST et quant à l’apparition d’effets secondaires. Conclusions : L’intérêt croissant pour l’automédication avec la doxycycline dans le cadre de la prévention des IST nécessite une surveillance accrue, portant à la fois sur les risques de transmission des maladies et sur les effets indésirables potentiels des médicaments.
The Crossover strategy integrated Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm and its application in engineering design problems
Authors: Mai Xiongfa , Zhong Yan , Li Ling
Published: January 2025

An improved metaheuristic algorithm called the Crossover strategy integrated Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm (CSBOA) is proposed in this work for solving real optimization problems. This improved algorithm integrated logistic-tent chaotic mapping initialization, an improved differential mutation operator, and crossover strategies with the Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm (SBOA) for a better quality solution and faster convergence. To evaluate the performance of CSBOA, two sets of a standard benchmark set, CEC2017 and CEC2022, were applied first. The Wilcoxon rank sum test and Friedman test were also used to statistically compare the proposed CSBOA algorithm with seven common metaheuristics. The comparisons demonstrated that CSBOA is more competitive than other metaheuristic algorithms on most benchmark functions. Additionally, the performance of CSBOA was validated for two challenging engineering design case studies. Comparative results showed that CSBOA provides more accurate solutions than the SBOA and the other seven algorithms, suggesting viability in dealing with real global optimization problems.
Solving fuzzy system of Fredholm integro-differential equations of the second kind by using homotopy analysis method
Authors: Yassin Zena Talal , Al-Hayani Waleed , Jameel Ali F. , Amourah Ala , Anakira Nidal
Published: January 2025

Certain phenomena with uncertain properties that take the shape of intricate mathematical modeling are known to have fuzzy system integro-differential equations (FSIDEs). The methods used to roughly solve FSIDEs seek to provide open-form solutions that are regarded as solutions for polynomial series. However, for many FSIDEs, the polynomial series solutions are not easily derived, especially in nonlinear forms. Meanwhile, some existing approximate techniques cannot guarantee convergence of the series solution. Nevertheless, to solve second-kind fuzzy Fredholm integro-differential equations (FFSIDEs), there exist perturbation techniques based on the standard Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) that have the ability to control and rate solution convergence. Therefore, this study focused on modifying new approximate techniques, fuzzy Fredholm HAM (HAMFF), for solving second-kind FFSIDEs subject to initial and boundary value problems. In the theoretical framework modification, the establishment of the series solution convergence was done based on combining some fuzzy sets theory concepts and convergence-control parameters from standard HAM. The HAMFF was not only able to solve linear systems but also difficult nonlinear systems with proper accuracy. The demonstration of the modified technique's performance was shown in comparison to other methods, where HAMFF was individually superior in terms of accuracy for solving linear and nonlinear test problems of FFSIDEs.
On the list injective coloring of planar graphs without a $ {4^ - } $-cycle intersecting with a $ {5^ - } $-cycle
Authors: Bu Yuehua , Zheng Hongrui , Zhu Hongguo
Published: January 2025

An injective coloring of a graph $ G $ is a vertex coloring such that a pair of vertices obtain distinct colors if there is a path of length two between them. It is proved in this paper that $ \chi _i^l(G) \le \Delta + 4 $ if $ \Delta \ge 12 $ when $ G $ does not have a $ {4^ - } $-cycle intersecting with a $ {5^ - } $-cycle. Our result improves a previous result of Cai et al. in 2023, who showed that $ \chi _i^l(G) \le \Delta + 4 $ when $ \Delta \ge 12 $ and $ G $ has disjoint $ {5^ - } $-cycles.
Nexus between digital trade development level and sustainable social development in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Rakotondrazaka Tojo Herilanto , Xu Lingli
Published: January 2025

This research explored the relationship between digital trade development and sustainable social development in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We first defined these two concepts and then constructed the Sustainable Social Development Index (SSDI) and the Digital Trade Development Index (DTDI) using the entropy weighting method and panel data of 26 Sub-Saharan African countries from 2000 to 2020. We also analyzed the relationship between these indices using the Granger non-causality test and the instrumental variables two-stage least squares estimation method. Our findings show a statistically significant bidirectional causal relationship between DTDI and SSDI. Moreover, our estimation result shows that a 1% increase in DTDI is linked to a 0.33% improvement in SSDI. This provides evidence of the potential for digital trade to promote sustainable social progress in SSA. The study concludes that improving the financial infrastructure and promoting gender equality are crucial strategies for advancing both digital trade and social sustainability. This research enhances our understanding of the link between economic and social development and offers valuable insights for policymakers in emerging economies.
La pratique philosophique au cœur du processus holistique de reconnexion au monde et de son réenchantement
Authors: Boelen Virginie
Published: January 2025

Face à la crise écologique qui frappe de plein fouet notre humanité et qui appelle à la restauration du lien avec la Terre, cet article présente une proposition éducative qui vise la reconnexion du jeune à la Nature-Territoire, l’invitant à entrer en relation avec celle-ci. La pratique philosophique y est centrale, exercée tout au long d’une approche expérientielle holistique, reliée à une herméneutique dialogique que nous explicitons. Ce sont alors toutes les dimensions de l’être qui sont mobilisées, participant au développement d’une pensée complexe et globale, chère à Matthew Lipman. Ainsi, l’autodéveloppement et l’autodétermination des jeunes dans leur relation au monde sont favorisés, de façon à co-construire une éthique environnementale basée sur le principe de la réciprocité.
Dov’è la libertà?
Authors: Romano Onofrio
Published: January 2025

Here we suggest a comparative analysis of the genealogy and functions of different types of liberalism appeared during modernity. After a preliminary analytical distinction between political contents and regulatory path, classical liberalism is then recognized as a first form of translation of the emancipatory aspirations inscribed in the spirit of modernity. Although neo-liberalism appears only in the early seventies in Chile, it is possible to recognize its genealogy and function already in the twenties of the twentieth century, within very different political contexts: here it is characterized by a braking action against the universalization of the modern process of emancipation, promised by the re-distributive logic of centricity adopted by the socialist regulatory alternative. Western countries neoliberalism of the 80s, however, shows as a way out from an exhausted modernity. Summing up, liberalism first translates, then slows down and, finally, goes beyond modernity.
Street Level Burocrats, welfare locale e transizione digitale: ostacoli e spazi di innovazione sociale
Authors: Busacca Maurizio
Published: January 2025

The article examines the adoption of digital innovation in the context of local welfare, focusing on the practices of labour market operators and social workers engaged in active labour market policy interventions in the region of Veneto. Through an ethnographic research, it highlights how three dimensions influence the adoption of technologies: institutional logics, organisational context, and professional discretion. Organisations tend to avoid investments in digital technology, perceived as too costly due to the underfunding mechanisms of the Italian welfare system, ineffective for beneficiaries with limited digital capabilities, and too complex for operators who lack adequate digital skills. However, this organisational behaviour reflects a discrepancy between institutional priorities, oriented towards activation and innovation logics, the organisational ones described above, and the individual ones of the professionals, who instead recognise the importance of digital skills for the job placement of beneficiaries and individually compensate for organisational deficiencies by introducing technological practices outside of organisational strategies. Professional discretion thus plays a significant role, with operators acting outside of organisational strategies and policies, relying on unregulated norms. However, the lack of funding and adequate enabling conditions limits the spread of technologies and subjects’ professionals to new forms of pressure. Moreover, this situation highlights that the weakness and fragmentation of the welfare system transform technology from an opportunity into a trap for operators and beneficiaries.
