Neobarroco y plantación. Escalas del Contrapunteo cubano del tabaco y el azúcar
Authors: Bernabé Mónica , Defelice Renata
Published: August 2024

Resumen El trabajo parte de los estudios de las plantaciones para releer Contrapunteo cubano del tabaco y el azúcar de Fernando Ortiz. El análisis comprende tres aspectos: en primer lugar, examinamos las líneas de lecturas más relevantes del Contrapunteo…, en particular, los análisis derivados de las nociones de transculturación y contrapunteo a los fines de dar continuidad y discutir desde la vasta y enriquecedora tradición crítica que acompaña al texto. En segundo término, proponemos leer algunos momentos del libro de Ortiz a partir de los estudios de las plantaciones y el modelo de escalabilidad que propone Anna Tsing para vivir entre las ruinas del Antropoceno. En particular, nos interesa observar sus fallas, esas pequeñas fracciones de territorio que albergan prácticas no escalables, propiciatorias de la diversidad transformadora de las relaciones sociales. Finalmente, especulamos sobre la inscripción neobarroca del ensayismo de Ortiz como práctica alternativa de la transdisciplinariedad.
O romance africano e o problema da world literature. Notas para um roteiro conceitual
Authors: Brugioni Elena
Published: August 2024

Resumo O artigo apresenta um panorama conceitual sobre weltliteratur e world literature - em suas diversas articulações -, evidenciando a diversidade conceitual e metodológica que pauta estes conceitos a serem entendidos como paradigmas discursivos historicamente determinados (Pizer, 2006). Observando as transformações destes discursos, a partir de uma perspectiva diacrónica, é possível estabelecer um contraponto com os mais recentes desenvolvimentos do debate em torno da world literature, evidenciando suas potencialidade críticas e metodológicas para o estudo do romance africano contemporâneo.
Romance, realismo e constituição em dois romances latino-americanos
Authors: Arreaza Dionisio Márquez
Published: August 2024

Resumo O trabalho estuda a copresença do realismo literário e constitucional na narrativa latino-americana da violência, no caso, Cidade de Deus (1997), do autor brasileiro Paulo Lins, e Bicentenaire (2004), do haitiano Lyonel Trouillot. Tanto os textos realistas que aristotelicamente tratam personagens marginalizados num espaço-tempo com marcas locais quanto os textos também “realistas” que rousseauianamente tratam os governados sujeitos às normas cidadãs a serem aceitas e praticadas permitem uma apreciação que passa do gênero socioverbal convencionado a uma significação quer literária, quer política. Notando que a categoria de “identidade política” e a experiência de exclusão social unem estes realismos nos estudos literário-culturais e nos estudos constitucionais, pretende-se “ler” como “ato democrático” as escritas que ficcionalizam: a ausência do Estado brasileiro diante da violência periférica e a violência repressiva do Estado parapolicial haitiano durante manifestações de rua. Ao comparar os realismos e situar os contextos constitucionais, observa-se uma linguagem-mestre “iluminista” e “moderna” cujo exercício (re)produz o imperativo “democrático”.
Quantities and Covered-Interest Parity
Authors: Moskowitz Tobias J. , Ross Chase P. , Ross Sharon Y. , Vasudevan Kaushik
Published: August 2024

Studies of intermediated arbitrage argue that bank balance sheets are an important consideration, yet little evidence exists on banks’ positioning in this context. Using confidential supervisory data (covering $25 trillion in daily notional exposures) we examine banks’ positions in connection with covered-interest parity (CIP) deviations. Exploiting cross-sectional variation in CIP deviations that have largely challenged existing theories, we document three novel forces that drive bases: 1) foreign safe asset scarcity, 2) market power and segmentation of banks specializing in different markets, and 3) concentration of demand. Our findings shed empirical light on the interplay of frictions influencing banks’ provision of dollar funding.

Wstęp: Niecierpek drobnokwiatowy (Impatiens parviflora) uznawany jest za gatunek inwazyjny i jednocześnie ekspansywny, którego występowanie na obszarze Polski ma istotne znaczenie dla obniżenia lokalnej różnorodności biologicznej (kategoria IV inwazyjności). Przybył z Azji, jako roślina ozdobna, która z czasem przedostała się do ekosystemów leśnych. Obecnie rozprzestrzeniony jest na terenie całego kraju. Zmienia skład gatunkowy podszytu, a w warunkach silnego oświetlenia wypierając natywny gatunek Impatiens noli-tangere. Siobla sturmii to błonkówka z rodziny pilarzowatych (Tenthredinidae, Sioblinae), będąca jedną z niewielu fitofagów żerujących na przedstawicielach z rodziny Impatiens spp. w Europie i Azji. W Polsce znana jest z kilku stanowisk, zlokalizowanych głównie w południowej części kraju, na których znajdywana była na swoim głównym europejskim żywicielu – niecierpku pospolitym (I. noli-tangere). W literaturze przedmiotu owad ten opisywany jest, jako gatunek monofagiczny, którego larwy zasiedlają i żywią się częściami zielonymi I.noli-tangere. W Europie dotychczas opisano obecność S.sturmii na powierzchni I. parviflora jedynie raz, podając jednak w wątpliwość możliwość przejścia pełnego cyklu rozwoju tego owada poza tkankami I.noli-tangere. Cel pracy: Opisanie po raz pierwszy na terenie Polski rzadkiego fitofaga Siobla sturmii na inwazyjnym, obcym gatunku - niecierpku drobnokwiatowym. Materiał i metody: Badaniom poddane były rośliny niecierpka drobnokwiatowego, rosnące w Drawieńskim Parku Narodowym oraz Wigierskim PN. Metodą marszrutową wybrano zwarte łany rośliny i dokonano oceny występowania fitofagów na wybranych losowo osobnikach. Na każdym stanowisku oznaczono gatunek fitofaga wywołującego gołożery i określono procentowy ubytek masy zielonej liści spowodowany przez żerujące owady. Wyniki i konkluzje: Niniejsze obserwacje wskazują na zaadaptowanie się niecierpnicy żółtawej do nowego żywiciela – Impatiens parviflora w Europie. Jest to pierwsze stwierdzenie Siobla sturmii w zachodniej części Polski – w Drawieńskim Paku Narodowym, gdzie żerowała na liściach I. parviflora, doprowadzając do defoliacji obejmujących 80% blaszki liściowej. Występowała także na stanowiskach wolnych od jej głównej rośliny żywicielskiej – Impatiens noli-tagere, co sugeruje jej pełną adaptacje do nowego żywiciela.
USDA LTAR Common Experiment measurement: Total suspended solids (TSS) v1
Authors: Dalzell Brent
Published: August 2024

Total suspended solids (TSS) refers to all the material from a well-mixed sample retained by a filter media. In the case of environmental water samples, TSS is commonly used to measure sediment in surface waters (field runoff, ditches, and streams) but can also be present in subsurface flow where macropore flow or surface inlets to tile drainage systems are present. In some cases, TSS can also include algae or other plant materials that comprise volatile suspended solids (VSS) because combustion in a muffle furnace eliminates them. The recommended method for measuring TSS includes passing a known sample volume through a pre-weighed filter and measuring the oven-dry weight of the material trapped on the filter.

Background. The growth of hydrocarbon reserves in the old oil and gas producing regions can be realized to a large extent due to the reinterpretation of geological and geophysical data on the old fund of wells (both within existing deposits and on areas that, under certain circumstances, were at one time assessed as unpromising). At this stage of geological exploration work, considerable work is being done to reinterprete the data of geophysical studies in the missed intervals of wells of the old fund, including exploratory wells. Similar works are carried out on deep horizons (Devonian), as well as on Mesozoic deposits, which in the last century were not of primary importance in terms of prospects in many areas. The available geological and geophysical material indicates significant difficulties in the correct identification of layers within the specified strata. Methods. The results of geophysical, petrographic and petrophysical studies on the deposits are analyzed. The methods of statistical analysis were applied in order to establish the possibility of using pattern recognition methods for lithological-facies dissection of well sections based on well-logging data. Results. Thanks to the use of neural network technology, the reliability of the traditional geological interpretation of the welllogging data was verified. The reliability of establishing the lithological-facies affiliation of individual layers in Upper Devonian, Lower, and Middle Carboniferous well sections has been increased by using an ensemble of calculated neural networks. An original approach to the implementation of neural network technology in the interpretation of geological and geophysical data is proposed. Сonclusions. The article examines the geophysical characteristics of potentially promising horizons that were previously overlooked. The problems to be solved are indicated, as well as ways to increase the reliability of the geological interpretation of welllogging data in layers of different ages. In particular, the possibility and expediency of using machine learning based on neural network technologies is considered.
RELATIONAL SEDIMENTS IN THE BACKWASH OF PROTEST WAVES: EXPLORING NETWORK CONSEQUENCES OF COLLECTIVE ACTION
Authors: Steinhilper Elias , Hoffmann Matthias
Published: August 2024

This article addresses the puzzling relational void in the analysis of collective action consequences by exploring how protest waves affect local network structures in two German towns. We compare three periods of time: a preprotest wave latency period, a protest wave period, and a postwave latency period, as defined in relation to contentious collective action around the refugee reception crisis in 2015. Adopting a field perspective, our analysis uses digital communication data to capture the referencing practices between all actors involved in local migration-related protests irrespective of actor type or political orientation. This results in networks of both supportive and antagonistic interaction. Applying network analysis, especially multiple regression quadratic assignment procedures (MRQAP), we find significant and distinct patterns of change and stability for supportive and antagonistic ties. We argue that these findings provide stepping stones for the emergent literature on relational consequences of collective action.

Authors: Shanava Gocha Sh. , Sivakov Alexey A. , Movsisyan Arutyun T. , Shanava Georgii G.
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND: Combined pelvic trauma in men in 10%–24% of cases is accompanied by damage to the posterior urethra, and no consensus on the treatment tactics has been established for such patients.
AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the results of treatment of patients with closed injury of the posterior urethra and traumatic shock.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the results of treatment of 46 patients with closed injury of the posterior urethra caused by a fracture of the pelvic bones and traumatic shock was performed. The average age of patients was 42.1 ± 9.9 years. The severity of urethral injuries was assessed according to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) classification.
RESULTS: The choice of treatment techniques depended on the degree of damage to the urethra and severity of traumatic shock. Upon hospital admission, 15 (32.6%) patients were diagnosed with grade I, 21 (45.6%) with grade II, and 10 (21.7%) with grade III traumatic shock. In grade I–II traumatic shock patients with incomplete urethral rupture, a urethral catheter was inserted, followed by conservative therapy. If a catheter insertion was possible, a retropubic revision of the urethra was performed. Patients with grade III–V urethral injury according to AAST and grade I–II traumatic shock underwent primary or delayed urethroplasty, such as urethral suturing and urethra-urethral anastomosis. Patients with grade III traumatic shock had a urethral catheter or cystostomy. In the long-term, 6 of 17 (36.9%) patients who underwent primary or delayed urethroplasty had short-term (up to 5 mm) urethral strictures, for which optical urethrotomy was performed. All patients with complete urethral avulsion who did not undergo early urethroplasty developed 10–20 mm strictures, requiring reconstructive surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: The choice of treatment techniques for patients with concomitant damage to the posterior urethra depends on the degree of damage to the urethra and severity of traumatic shock. The scope of treatment in the acute period may include urethral or suprapubic drainage of the bladder or reconstructive surgery.

Published: August 2024

Intraperitoneal traumatic perforations of the bladder of any origin (e.g., external trauma, iatrogenic injuries) and spontaneous ruptures are conditions that, according to the canons of surgery, require emergency surgical intervention by one or another access. However, some studies have indicated the possibility of conservative management of such patients — both adults and children. A review of publications describing the results of conservative treatment of patients with intraperitoneal bladder perforations was performed. Overall, 2,679 publications related to intraperitoneal perforations of the bladder were found in the available scientific databases, of which only 72 focused on issues of conservative treatment. In 13 of them, the possibility of such an approach is denied, but without reference to their own material. Analysis of the literature demonstrated that conservative management of intraperitoneal perforations of the may be feasible in certain circumstances, sometimes being a crucial measure. Indications for conservative treatment techniques include the absence of peritonitis, small perforation size, and short periods from the moment of perforation. However, all these indications are in the nature of opinions and assumptions and are not part of algorithmic tactics. The effectiveness of this approach remains unclear. The frequency of unsatisfactory outcomes ranges from 10% to 50%, which indicates the inappropriateness of conservative treatment. With the small number of studies and conflicting results obtained prohibits us to consider this technique as the method of choice for treating patients with intraperitoneal perforations of the bladder.

Published: August 2024

The environment and the world's energy system currently face formidable obstacles. Energy usage is more environmentally friendly in the context of the energy internet as transportation fleets switch to electric, plug-in, and fuel-cell vehicles. To guarantee energy security, avoid air pollution, and encourage energy conservation and emission reduction, the smart grid's electric car, and renewable energy synergies are of utmost importance. The combination of renewable energy and electric vehicles, however, is fraught with difficulties because of the randomness, intermittent nature, and electrical nature of renewable energy. This article first illustrates the smart grid design and the relationship between electric vehicles and renewable energy sources. The effects of electric vehicles and the growth of renewable energy sources are then examined, and the main techniques, such as smart charging, coordinated scheduling, and energy management, are investigated based on the problem. Additionally, synergy effects on the economy and environment are studied. After discussing the current development issues, a brief overview of the prospects for renewable energy and electric vehicles is provided..

Published: August 2024

One of the sectors in the world that uses the most energy is mining. In addition, it offers a vital supply of raw materials for the building, transportation, industrial, and energy industries. With an increasing global population comes an expected rise in the demand for raw commodities. The mining sector will probably need more energy as a result of this rise in mineral demand for the extraction process, shifting and purifying. Because of their distant location, mining operations rely on fossil fuels including coal and diesel. Hence 4-7 % of greenhouse gas emissions overall are linked to the mining industries. Operating permits for mines are necessary, and these permits are subject to Environmental, Social and Governance policies. In this context, the benefits of renewable energy go beyond simply financial savings. They are also a component of plans to maintain a mine's license. These issues may be effectively solved by wind power. It is an entirely risk-free, economically viable, and environmentally responsible source of clean and green energy. In the studies we performed, we focused on how objects with comparable poles and continuous magnetic fields repel one another. In this scenario, magnetic propulsion's innate characteristics serve as the energy-sources. Our turbine is going to work much better in the specified circumstances, even in conditions with a slower wind speed, thanks to the additional features including the repulsion of similar polarity magnets. When used as a supplementary energy source in a VAWT, i.e. magnetic repulsive properties will add some kinetic energy to the turbine's rotational momentum, as it transforms wind power to desired form of mechanical movement.

Published: August 2024

A LINAC is an electron accelerating structure that uses radio frequency power to accelerate electrons. It has many scientific applications, and industrial applications such as microwave sterilization, pasteurization, and preservation of foods, and also in medical applications such as radiotherapy and medical sterilization. For thermally stable operation of the LINAC, it is required to prevent it from temperature-induced frequency shifts. LINAC operation at a high duty cycle dissipates average power of several kW in the structure. The main objective is to minimize the temperature rise to maximize the energy gained by the electron, reduction in thermal deformation of the cavities due to temperature rise and also to operate the LINAC within the efficient bandwidth of the RF source. An optimal thermal design with a web cooling channel system is developed for the efficient functioning of LINAC by using FEA. A water-cooled system (web cooling) for the room temperature 5 MeV traveling wave LINAC has been developed. It has been observed that the rise in temperature, thermal deformation, and energy loss are less in the developed design as compared to the pre-existing one. With the lower rise in temperature, the thermal detuning observed in LINAC will also be less. This makes the LINAC more efficient.

Authors: G. Ramesh  , Surendarnath S. , Ramesh Kumar S.
Published: August 2024

Evolution of microstructure and hardness in 42CrMo4 steel during quenching under the different cooling conditions were investigated. Mineral oil, polymer solution and water were selected as quenchants to provide different cooling conditions. Quenching experiments were also conducted under magnetic stirring and ultrasonic agitation of polymer solution. Cooling conditions during quenching had significant effect on phase transformation and hardness of 42CrMo4 steel. The quench hardened samples show martensite microstructure along with other micro-constituents. Needle like/acicular ferrite was observed with water quenching due to diffusion less transformation. Sample quenched under ultrasonic agitated medium showed formation of network of carbides. Higher hardness values were obtained with water quenching and ultrasonic agitated polymer quenching.

Machine tools are a vital element in engineering manufacturing environment. It assists in the supply of products and components that meet the highest possible standards. An experimental approach was administered to evaluate the factor affecting surface finish in milling operation performed on ferrous material under wet cutting condition. Laboratory inspection was initiated to assess the effect of process parameters on surface finish. Cost effective experimental trials combining speed, feed and depth of cut were formulated using Taguchi L9 orthogonal array. The significant factor influencing surface topography was analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) tool. The examination divulges that the surface roughness was found to be maximum at the lower levels of process meters in the milling process on mild steel material. The ANOVA depicts the process parameter which is greatly contributing to the surface texture.

Published: August 2024

An eco-friendly cerium oxide nanoparticle was prepared through a solution combustion system with a novel fuel plant seed source Albizzia richardiana. The synthetic technique involves the Albizzia richardiana plant seeds as a fuel and cerium nitrate as an oxidizer (basis of cerium) was added in stoichiometric quantity in a well washed silica crucible and stirred for several minutes until persistent uniform solution was made. Then the mixture was kept in a heat up heating chamber at 500 °C. After dehydration and decomposition of homogeneous solution, the obtained CeO2 nanoparticles were thoroughly characterized using FT-IR, XRD and SEM morphological analysis. The synthesized nano CeO2 was a better catalytic agent for the production of Nα-Fmoc/Cbz-keto-1,2,3-triazole equivalents through the three-constituent reaction between amino acyl chloride equivalents of Fmoc/Cbz-protected amino acids, phenyl acetylene and sodium azide. Keto-1,2,3-triazoles were set upon by refluxing amino acyl chlorides with NaN3 and phenyl acetylene in presence of CeO2 nano particles in methanol. After a simple workup, the desired products obtained were fully categorized by FTIR, HRMS, proton and 13C NMR techniques.

Published: August 2024

Nowadays, one of the severe problems that threaten the survival of human beings is water pollution. Water pollution caused by diverse poisonous compounds, specifically hydroxyl aromatic compounds and their derivatives have been evident and prominent environmental issue. In this work, an adsorptive method to remove the hydroxyl aromatic compounds particularly catechol based Alizarin red S dye by the activated metal organic framework have been attempted. The nano scale Zr-UiO-66 was synthesized using terephthalic acid as ligand, 4-carboxy phenyl boronic acid as coordination modulator and the morphology of the nano crystals was octahedral. The as-synthesized new metal organic framework Zr-UIO-66 after adsorption confirms the existence of boronic acid and structural stability after the incorporation of the boronic acid group using adsorption studies such as 11B NMR, PXRD, UV, IR and TGA. The zirconium based MOFs are very important in terms of their stability in water. These MOFs are largely used for gas separation, storage, sensing and degradation of chemical warfare agents, etc. The control of size of these MOFs to nano regime can be achieved using the monocarboxylic acids like acetic acid, benzoic acid. A mixed-ligand approach was implemented in this work.

Published: August 2024

The effects of heat flux, and thermal buoyancy on mixed convective flow for a non-Newtonian power law liquid with yield stress via a vertical plate filled with a porous material under the influence of thermal radiation, and heat production are investigated in this topic. For this model, The PDE's that govern the flow are constructed and converted to a set of ODE's using appropriate transformation and the resultant ODEs are quantitatively determined using Shooting technique. The impacts of different flow regulating factors such as index parameter, yield stress, radiation, and heat generation are illustrated through graphical representation for fluid properties. This research shows that the velocity distribution, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers declines as the dimensionless rheological parameter rise, but temperature and concentration profiles exhibit the reverse tendency. Also, the velocity, temperature curves and mass flux grow as the radiation parameter rises, whereas the concentration curves and heat flux fall as the radiation parameter rises. For a specific case, a comparison with Lakshmi Narayana et al.,13 was made, and a great agreement was established.

Multiple methodological strategies: Materializing a sociological concept for research on accounting education
Authors: Lopes Iago França , Colauto Romualdo Douglas
Published: August 2024

This research aims to answer the following question-problem: How can the use of multiple methodological strategies be applied to create a research instrument that concretizes Bauman’s “liquid modernity” conception, decoding and explaining socio-academic experiences of stricto sensu accounting postgraduate students (in the strict sense)? Therefore, the objective of the research is to explain a method to create a research instrument that implements sociologist Bauman’s conception on Liquid Modernity, intending to decode socio-academic experiences of stricto sensu postgraduate accounting students (in the strict sense). In terms of theory, the research covers Liquid Modernity concepts and interprets the discussions proposed by Bauman (2001) so as to understand the socio-academic spaces related to experiences. With regards to concretization of Bauman’s ideas, live broadcasting, focus groups, observation and pre-tests were used as methodological strategies in order to create and validate a research instrument based on Bauman’s perspective. The results evidenced the permeability of quantitative and qualitative elements for the materialization of the sociological concept in the accounting field. Hence, it could be suggested that, within Bauman’s conception of liquid modernity, socio-academic experiences of students enrolled in accounting postgraduate programs (PPG) are immersed in experiences that are influenced by interpersonal and demographic aspects which are related to educational and professional environments.

Resumo
Este texto pretende ser um elogio a tudo o que há de sensível na formação humana, propondo um movimento espiral ascendente de processos formativos e investigativos ligados à vida, conectando pessoas e outras entidades. As teorias adotadas no texto funcionam como lentes reflexivas, induzindo-nos a reconhecer a mutabilidade da realidade ao interagirmos com a dinâmica da vida. Corroboram também a proposta de uma vitalidade pedagógica que possa dar origem a uma perspectiva afetiva, ética, estética, ecológica e solidária nos processos de ecoformação, conjugada com a coprodução de conhecimento. Levando tudo isso em consideração, surgem as seguintes noções: contradições criativas e aprendizagem coletiva. Ambas cooperam com a reflexão do ser-com, como elo entre a arte e sua íntima relação com a educação.
Palavras-chave: Ser-com. Ecoformação Artística. Vitalidade pedagógica.

Este relato versa sobre os procedimentos da criação do Núcleo de Estudos Afrobrasileiro e Indígena Iaô e um panorama geral de experiências pedagógicas de trabalho com o movimento de implementação do Artigo 26-A da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação- LDBEN, na perspectiva das Leis 10.639/2003 e 11.645/2009, no âmbito da Secretaria Municipal de Caxias do Sul. Escolhemos um caminho tecido por movimentos, deslocamentos e metáforas para construir itinerários coletivos. Da produção dos estudantes foi possível demarcar uma possibilidade de como acontecem as práticas pedagógicas atravessadas pela Educação nas Relações Étnico Raciais (ERER) dentro de sala de aula, onde é possível aprender em comunidade, no reconhecimento de si e do outro. Os resultados do relato apontam para pensarmos na reconstrução de um currículo antirracista e de potência a partir da coletividade/comunidade, para dinamizar os saberes da ancestralidade dos povos indígenas e negros, sem perder de vista o modo como nos relacionamos com a escola e, principalmente, com nossos pares.

Published: August 2024

A pesquisa em que este trabalho baseia-se visa a conhecer a vida, a cultura e as relações entre crianças e idosos da Comunidade Quilombola Ribeirão do Cubatão (SC). Assim, este artigo traz algumas reflexões sobre as contribuições metodológicas dessa investigação, cuja base é a Pedagogia Quilombola: compartilhamento de vidas, trocas de experiências, saberes e práticas entre idosos, crianças e adolescentes de modo coletivo e relacional.  Versa sobre o que denominamos como Oficinas Narrativas e sua organização. O foco é a autoria/participação das crianças e idosos na produção de narrativas em diferentes linguagens (orais, escritas, visuais e/ou audiovisuais), dialogando tanto com a presença da cultura das mídias no cotidiano infantil como com as referências tradicionais de cada contexto cultural. Como resultados parciais, compreende-se que essa metodologia, além de promover a possibilidade do diálogo, pode proporcionar a co-produção de dados, por parte das crianças e dos idosos, durante as investigações realizadas com eles.

Ampelan Village, which is in Wringin District, Bondowoso Regency, has a large number of residents, including elderly residents, adults and children. One of the problems in Ampelan Village is the lack of children's understanding of the world of technology. In fact, understanding it is currently very necessary, especially for children who are currently studying as a preparation for facing future challenges. One of the programs carried out in Ampelan Village is basic IT training for children which aims to equip the younger generation with digital skills so they can keep up with developments that are closely related to digitalization in education. This program is designed to provide a basic understanding of the use of computers, the internet and platforms to support their school work. The activity was attended by 31 children, who were very enthusiastic during the activity. The result of this activity was an increase in participants' understanding of the basics of navigation on laptops, typing, and the use of Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint. The hope is that this program can help access the introduction of technology education in rural areas to reduce the digital divide.
The Impacts of Climate Change on the Emergence and Reemergence of Mosquito-Borne Diseases in Temperate Zones: An Umbrella Review Protocol
Authors: Rosado e Silva Raquel , Millett Christopher , Dittrich Sabine , Donato Helena
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Mosquito-borne diseases represent a global public health concern and are responsible for over 700 000 deaths globally every year. Additionally, many mosquito species have undergone a dramatic global expansion due to various factors, including climate change, and forecasts indicate that mosquito populations will persist in dispersing beyond their present geographic range, namely in temperate climates. The research literature on this topic has grown in recent years, including some systematic evidence synthesis. However, to provide a comprehensive overview of this growing literature needed for policy action, a summary of this evidence, including existing systematic reviews, is required. This study aims to undertake an umbrella review that explores the impacts of climate change on the emergence and reemergence of diseases transmitted by mosquitoes in temperate zones and the publication of the protocol is a fundamental step to ensure the credibility, transparency and reproducibility of this research. Methods and Analysis: Studies published in scientific journals indexed by PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Epistemonikos, and Web of Science Core Collection to be included in this umbrella review will meet the following criteria: the topic of study (climate change and mosquito-borne diseases), regions (temperate zones), study designs (systematic reviews and meta-analysis), language (any) and date (since inception until December 31st, 2023). Titles and abstracts from selected articles will be evaluated by two authors independently and any discrepancy will be resolved through consensus or, if not possible, through a third author. The data will be extracted, and the risk of bias will be evaluated. The quality of the methodology of the included reviews will be assessed using AMSTAR 2. A narrative synthesis will examine the included systematic reviews. The quality of evidence for all outcomes will be judged using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation working group methodology.

This study addresses the challenges and needs of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia, who encounter issues such as poor living conditions, limited healthcare access, inadequate education, and insufficient legal protection. Wage disparities and job availability in Indonesia drive migration to neighboring countries, but a lack of skills often results in serious problems like job mismatches, human trafficking, and illegal labor. The aim of this community services is to identify the initial needs for developing the Indonesian international migrant community in Malaysia, with synergy between Indonesian universities and international students in Malaysia. The study employs a qualitative approach through interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with migrant workers. Findings indicate that many migrants live in inadequate housing with limited access to clean water and sanitation. They also face significant barriers to accessing healthcare, education for their children, and legal protection. Recommendations include improving housing conditions, enhancing healthcare access, providing formal education for migrant children, ensuring legal protection, and promoting economic empowerment through entrepreneurship and financial management training. Effective development and improved welfare for migrants require collaboration between the government, NGOs, universities, and local communities.
The Meaning and Relevance of Social Piety in Muslim Societies

Published: August 2024

It can be observed that the advancement of comprehension within specific communities often serves to illuminate the presence and significance of religious belief systems. This is evidenced by the presence of formal storefronts and religious rituals. Conversely, there is less appreciation for the application of universal religious teachings in the social context of community life. This prompted researchers to embark on a study. This research draws upon the texts of piety in the Qur'an, which are mentioned in various forms. In the form of nouns (isim), lafadz al-shālihāt, lafadz al-shālihūn/al-shālihīn, and lafadz shālihan. In addition, the verb form (fi'l) is derived from the root words shaluha and aslaha. This study employs a qualitative analysis approach, with content analysis used to examine the texts. These are descriptive and verbalistic in nature, drawn from the Qur'an and Hadith. To elaborate on the data, the author employs a variety of approaches, including philosophical, semantic, and sociological. The research findings present an exploration of the meaning of the matan, or content, of the verses of social piety, demonstrating the cohesion of the concept of piety as an expression of social awareness.
