Authors: Jobanpreet Singh  , Sihag Sahil , Chiphang Chingriwor
Published: July 2024

Mars exploration has become a focal point for medical, technological, and human endeavours. The success of these missions closely depends on optimizing spacecraft trajectories to ensure performance and cost-effectiveness. This paper delves into the significance of trajectory optimization and the pivotal role gravity assists play in interplanetary missions, particularly those aimed at Mars. In our study, we applied advanced simulation tools, including MATLAB, to model and optimize mission trajectories. Our research also includes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of the Mars probe, focusing on incompressible flow tests around the probe's frame. A novel aspect of our design is the addition of a turbo-dynamic fan mounted on the outer boundary of the rover. This innovation is intended to reduce the descent velocity of the probe through the Martian atmosphere, improving landing precision and safety. Furthermore, our study explores the Olympus Mons area, a towering 27 km high Martian volcano, as a prime location for sample collection. By optimizing the trajectory and fuel usage, our simulations show how samples can be efficiently collected and returned to Mars orbit, ultimately facilitating their return to Earth. The trajectory calculations and visualizations provided offer valuable insights for future missions, aiming to balance fuel efficiency and mission success. This research not only highlights the quantitative benefits of trajectory optimization through gravity assists but also showcases the practical implications of innovative design improvements in space exploration. The lessons learned from our simulations and analyses are poised to significantly impact future Mars missions, paving the way for more efficient and effective exploration strategies.

Published: July 2024

The efficient management of water resources is a fundamental prerogative to guarantee sustainable development, especially in regions dependent on small dams to retain and dispose of water. These structures play an essential role in various activities, from providing drinking water to supporting agriculture. Within the scope of water management, the precise determination of the volume of water retained in dams is a critical aspect, directly influencing decisions related to the sustainable use of these resources. This study aimed to carry out a comparative analysis between conventional bathymetry and remote sensing, aiming to evaluate their accuracy in determining the accumulated volume of water in small dams. It was observed that both remote sensing methods II and III presented an overestimation of the volume accumulated in dams compared to conventional bathymetry. Method II demonstrated superior precision, with an error varying between 3.22% and 30.22%, which decreased as the area increased. On the other hand, method III presented an error ranging between 20.68% and 43.12%, following a similar pattern to that of method II in relation to the increase in area. It is concluded that remote sensing presents itself as a valid approach for estimating the water surface and accumulated volume, especially in small dams, being useful for preliminary and environmental studies in areas with low sediment deposition and no vegetation invasion, since conventional bathymetry often proves to be costly and logistical, especially in situations where access and size are challenging.

Kasus Ikhtilath di Kabupaten Pidie: Tinjauan Terhadap Strategi Penyelesaian
Authors: Hamdiyah
Published: July 2024

The research method used to understand the mechanism of resolving cases of ikhtilath in Pidie District is qualitative research with direct data collection in the field. The results of the research show that cases of ikhtilath are not directly handled by the local village or sub-district authorities, but are handed over to the competent authorities because the perpetrators of ikhtilath often come from outside the area. This is done to ensure that the cases are resolved in accordance with the law and to deter the perpetrators and other members of the community. The mechanism for resolving cases of ikhtilath in Pidie District involves a legal process according to Qanun No. 6 of 2014. This process involves several parties, such as investigators, prosecutors, judges, and witnesses at the scene. Despite challenges such as limited resources and minimal budget, efforts are made to prevent ikhtilath through tighter security, family supervision, and community outreach. The sanctions imposed on perpetrators of ikhtilath are in accordance with existing regulations, but the lack of community participation in prevention and the shortage of PPNS investigators are inhibiting factors in handling these cases.

Published: July 2024

Background: Today, cigarettes are used as a consumer product by both men and women. In the past, smoking was often associated with its use by men. Over time, cigarette consumption has shifted culturally, with women becoming consumers of cigarettes with designs that emphasize elegance and a shift in consumer base. The tobacco industry adapted and began to release products aimed specifically at women, such as cigarettes with slimmer filters and more feminine packaging designs. This article discusses the changing role of filter cigarettes, which were originally associated as a symbol of femininity and are now increasingly used by men. Methods: The method used in this research is a literature study that collects, analyzes, and evaluates various relevant literature sources. Findings: This article illustrates how filter cigarettes have changed the representation of femininity and masculinity in tobacco consumption culture. Filter cigarettes were originally designed and promoted as a product that emphasized elegance, grace, and feminine imagery. However, filter cigarette consumption has shifted significantly over time, and more and more men are adopting filter cigarette products. Conclusion: Cigarette use is also influenced by the trend of e-cigarettes and the influence of social media on cigarette marketing which may lead to an increase in the number of female smokers. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study investigates the symbolic representation of femininity in filter cigarettes, elucidating how the tobacco industry strategically employs gendered marketing to appeal to female consumers. By examining the evolution of these marketing strategies and their effects on gender norms and consumer behavior, the research offers a distinctive perspective on the intersection of gender and tobacco advertising.

Published: July 2024

This research explores the digital literacy and competence of educators in coastal areas of Indonesia, focusing on technology access, usage patterns, and challenges in integrating digital tools into teaching practices. Utilizing a quantitative survey method, data was collected from 235 educators teaching in coastal area schools. The study found a generally positive trend in technology access, with reliable availability of computers, laptops, and internet connection supporting educators' professional tasks. However, gaps in access to up-to-date software highlight the need for improved resources and support to ensure equitable technology use. Educators demonstrated a strong trend towards integrating digital tools in lesson planning and communication with students. Despite this, the uneven adoption of these tools suggests a need for broader and more equitable technology integration. Significant challenges include difficulties in keeping up with technological advancements and managing technical issues, emphasizing the need for comprehensive professional development and targeted training on advanced digital tools and troubleshooting. While the study provides valuable insights, it is limited by its small sample size and geographic focus, potentially not fully representing the diverse experiences of educators across Indonesia. Future research should expand the sample size and geographic range to offer a more comprehensive understanding of technology integration challenges and to support more effective recommendations for enhancing technology use in education.

The Mediating Role of Surface and Deep Acting on the Nexus between Emotional Intelligence and Work-Related Burnout
Authors: Hassan Nurul Hasnie Hassiza W , Samy Naresh Kumar
Published: July 2024

Work-related burnout (WBO) is prevalent in the global economy, culminating in profit loss, productivity declination, and employee absenteeism. The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the preceding threats in human resource management within the manufacturing industry. The ongoing discussions on WBO highlight the significance and value of this issue. Additionally, empirical proof regarding the association among emotional intelligence (EQ), emotional labour strategies, and WBO, particularly within the human resource division of the manufacturing industry, is scarce. Thus, the current study aims to identify the relationships and models with emotional contagion theory as a foundation using the PLS-SEM technique. The responses from 311 questionnaires were collected among HR managers in selected ISO 9001 Malaysian manufacturing companies using an online survey. The study found a negative relationship between EQ and emotional labour-deep acting (ELSA) and a positive relationship with emotional labour-surface acting (ELSA). Besides, ELSA is also negatively correlated with WBO, while ELDA has a positive relationship with WBO. The study also proved that emotional labour strategies (deep-acting and surface-acting) operated as an intermediary factor in the connection between EQ and WBO. Past research on WBO has been inconclusive, and there has yet to be a comprehensive exploration of the direct or indirect connections between EQ, ELSA, ELDA, and WBO. Furthermore, previous studies often overlooked the viewpoint of HR managers in WBO investigations. The results of this research contribute to the literature concerning this issue, particularly in the post-COVID-19 context, and help policy developers of human resource management bring in the elements of psychological factors while forming human resource policies and practices.

WHOM DO WE TRUST? ON HOW WE ASSESS OTHERS’ TRUSTWORTHINESS
Authors: BANU Maria ,   University of Bucharest, Faculty of Philosophy
Published: July 2024

The aim of this paper is to integrate competing notions of trustworthiness in the literature on trust under a common framework. I defend a notion of trustworthiness around three criteria: competence, predictability, and responsiveness. These are both necessary and sufficient conditions for trustworthiness assessments. Competence means having the required abilities to fulfill one’s trust in a certain matter, but also the capacity to understand, assess, and choose the best way to apply those abilities in that matter. Predictability means both reliability and having the relevant reasons to fulfill one’s trust in that respective matter. Responsiveness captures the trustee’s intentionality about or directed at the trustor, her willingness to fulfill her trust. The three criteria are not fixed characteristics of the trustee; assessments of each will reflect aspects that are relevant under specific trust situations. The criteria seek to establish a common ground for trust research to reconcile different perspectives, while recognizing that trust is a highly contextual and relational notion.

En los límites de la experiencia: dinosaurios, animismo e inconsciente.
Authors: Rabanaque Luis
Published: July 2024

La fenomenología de Husserl muestra que los fenómenos en general exhiben aspectos que son accesibles y aspectos que se resisten al análisis. Entre estos últimos se cuentan los animales prehistóricos, los seres humanos provenientes de las culturas animistas y el lado inconsciente de la subjetividad. Este trabajo se propone describir algunos rasgos esenciales de dichos fenómenos y sugerir que son sólo relativamente inaccesibles. Los animales prehistóricos pueden reconstruirse a partir de los animales actuales. El animismo es una característica universal del ser humano y se puede acceder al inconsciente mediante sus umbrales y la rememoración de los sueños.

Published: July 2024

Esta investigación tiene como propósito establecer la relación entre la producción de gases de efecto invernadero y la congestión en el área metropolitana de Costa Rica. Para lograrlo, se empleó una metodología inspirada en el Informe de la Nación 2018 del Programa Estado de la Nación. En esta, se aplicó una encuesta digital a una muestra de aproximadamente 6 000 individuos, específicamente, estudiantes universitarios de 18-24 años que residen en el Gran Área Metropolitana. Para el análisis, se utilizaron herramientas como Microsoft Excel, Google Maps, My Maps, Komoot, Datawrapper y Microsoft Forms. Asimismo, es importante reconocer las limitaciones de este enfoque, ya que la muestra se seleccionó de manera no aleatoria, lo que limita la heterogeneidad. Además, la disponibilidad de direcciones de correo electrónico del universo muestral fue un desafío. No obstante, los resultados de este estudio podrían tener un impacto significativo en la forma en que se evalúa el inventario de gases de efecto invernadero a nivel nacional, promoviendo su uso como un indicador de tendencias a partir del Casco Metropolitano en lugar de un indicador per cápita. Además, la segmentación geográfica ofrece un enfoque novedoso que puede guiar a acciones específicas del Ministerio de Ambiente y Energía para abordar la contribución de distintas regiones al indicador de carbono neutro.
Las políticas educativas en Colombia en la era neoliberal
Authors: Díaz Rafael
Published: July 2024

En el proceso de reconfiguración económica y social, educativa y cultural, de pasar de un Estado social de derecho a un Estado neoliberal, iniciado en firme a partir de la década del noventa, se emprende una serie de reajustes o reformas al sistema escolar, desde premisas de modernización, eficiencia y calidad; sobre todo, de incorporar al país a la denominada globalización.Este libro, resultado de la tesis doctoral del profesor Rafael Díaz Borbón, ofrece una respuesta crítica a una década de reformas y crisis, en la cual el sistema educativo ha estado sometido a sucesivos "reajustes programáticos". Comprender de manera crítica la situación de la educación en Colombia en estos contextos económicos, políticos y sociales, así como detectar sus problemáticas y entrever sus soluciones es parte central del trabajo investigativo del autor.Al final, el libro propone una interesante reflexión: ante los fracasos del capitalismo globalizado neoliberal, "hay razones para ser optimistas" en los prospectos brindados por la llamada Pedagogía de la Esperanza para hacer posible el proyecto de un mundo de "democracia radical", mejor para todos.
Controversias tecnocientíficas

Published: July 2024

Las tecnologías son parte fundamental de la vida en sociedad y de nuestra identidad como individuos. Nos hacen la vida más fácil en ámbitos como la comunicación, el entretenimiento, la educación y la producción industrial, hasta el punto en que sería imposible pensar la vida sin ellas hoy. No obstante, las tecnologías no son neutras y, por ende, afectan nuestros modos de pensar, producir y gestionar la realidad, por lo cual es necesario discutir sus ventajas y desventajas, así como su implantación, uso y efectos en la sociedad en los ámbitos educativo, social y económico. Esta discusión es importante hoy porque no solo afecta la educación de tecnólogos e ingenieros, sino también la de aquellos vinculados a la política, el sector empresarial y el Estado.Los autores de esta obra proponen una metodología de argumentación discursiva alrededor de la controversia tecnocientífica —una polémica sobre un asunto de tipo científico y tecnológico sobre el cual existen varios puntos de vista a favor y en contra— para el ámbito educativo tecnológico y universitario. En este sentido, hacen un recorrido por algunos aportes de las ciencias sociales a la comprensión de las tecnologías en la sociedad, ofrecen herramientas para la producción de textos argumentativos y proponen una metodología para la solución de problemas basada en controversias tecnocientíficas. Al final presentan un grupo de controversias tecnocientíficas para discutir con los alumnos en clase, relacionadas con temas vigentes como la educación virtual, la salud en tiempos del COVID-19, los conceptos de antropoceno y capitaloceno, y la represa de Hidroituango.
Aprender y pensar
Authors: Montoya Mario
Published: July 2024

Este libro aborda una de las invitaciones políticas serias de Heidegger: pensar nuestro presente. Para avanzar en la comprensión de dicha invitación, este trabajo se centra en las lecciones que dictó Heidegger en 1951 y 1952 en Friburgo, donde examina la pregunta ¿qué significa pensar? Heidegger nos indica que pensar es distinto del conocer y, por tanto, pensar no es el despliegue de la ciencia, el pensar no es el despliegue del pensamiento que atraviesa a Occidente. Así, intentamos una proximidad entre lo que significa pensar y el aprender, aspectos centrales de la problematización educativa, para avanzar en el esclarecimiento de una educación como experiencia en el pensar. Esta empresa de aprender a habitar poéticamente, tendrá que salirle al encuentro a esta educación impoética del furioso medir y calcular, que es una educación institucionalizada y globalmente estandarizada por la calidad de la medida.

A UNIFORM CIVIL CODE FOR THE ERADICATION OF DISCONSOLATE PRACTICES IN THE NAME OF RELIGION AND TO ENSURE SOCIOECONOMIC JUSTICE
Authors: Biswal Prof (Dr.) Mamata
Published: July 2024

Religious rights are fundamental to every citizen of India. Nonetheless the evil practices in the name of religion are not fundamental to religion. Religion and Religious practices are very closely allied with the rule of law. The right of ‘freedom of religious practice’ has its origin from the Constitution of India. ‘Secularism’ as the basic structure of the Constitution of India and Freedom of Religion (Article 25-28 of the Constitution) are the allure in the Constitution of our Country. These provisions provide the freedom to practice and profess religion, subject to morality, public order and health2 . But India has been witnessing many cruel practices in the name of Religion with no demarcated frontier. Although, the Legislative action, judicial intervention and social intermediation provide interim relief to the problems, but no permanent key. The yardstick for sanction all religious practices must be the Constitutional validity which factor in economic justice. The Triple Talaq Act 2019 is a welcome step to confront some issues but the enactment of many small pieces of legislations would create inconsistencies among the common men and incongruities for the interpretation and implementation. Seldom the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) had been proposed to be a solution to these evils, but to me ‘Uniform Civil Code’ is not the ultimate riposte for the prejudiced issues of Personal Laws. Initially, the proposed UCC must address the areas related to the deprivation of legal and economic rights of the citizens. The UCC can cover a complete code for each religion eliminating the religious practices which are not constitutionally valid having adverse gender based economic impact, would maintain the balance between the secularism, religious rights, economic justice and social equilibrium. Unified Personal law Codes for all Indian citizens like a Hindu Code for the Hindus, a Muslim Code for Muslims and likewise a special code for each religion in the matters of personal nature under the UCC would solve the purpose for few decades.

A group of 126 6–12-year-old children with one or more untreated dentine carious lesions (ICDAS code 05) on the occlusal surface of a primary molar was divided into four equal treatment subgroups. A standardized caries treatment was performed with Erbium:YAG laser or conventional rotary instruments. In the intervention groups, Latent inhibition was used as an anxiety-management technique. During the procedure, objective and subjective stress parameters were recorded. Statistically significant reduction in mean heart rate and self-anxiety scores was seen in the combination of Er:YAG laser caries removal and child-management technique (p < 0.05). The use of laser cavity preparation in combination with the child-management technique Latent inhibition is the most effective method during the dental treatment of children. Er:YAG laser alone showed an advantage over the conventional method and equivalent effect to the combined use of conventional rotary instruments and behaviour management technique.

Drought occupies a dominant share among the environmental factors that directly cause significant economic losses. Wheat is one of the most important crops for humankind, and although it tolerates drought to a certain extent, prolonged water deficit provokes a number of unfavourable alterations in plants, which lead to a significant decrease in productivity. Because of the broadening climate changes, the search for ecological biostimulants as an innovative approach to reduce the harmful effects of drought is gaining more popularity in modern agriculture. Melatonin is a natural product of plant metabolism with growth-regulating properties – it is non-toxic and is safe for the environment. We aimed to investigate the possibilities to modulate the negative effects of drought through application of melatonin using a comparative analysis of the physiological reactions of young wheat seedlings. We studied the effects of melatonin applied before drought on the physiological responses of two Bulgarian wheat cultivars grown as a soil culture. Different concentrations of melatonin ranging from 5 to 500 μM were tested and 75 μM was selected as a promising one. Additionally, we tested the method of application of melatonin – leaf spray or root supplement. Based on the content of selected stress markers we could make a conclusion that leaf spraying of plants before stress had some attenuating effect on the negative consequences of drought, but one dose of root application appeared to be more effective.

Introduction. Heart failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus are critical public health issues.Objective. To characterize the risk factors for mortality in patients with heart failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus from a large registry in Colombia and to evaluate the potential effect modifications by type 2 diabetes mellitus over other risk factors.Materials and methods. Heart failure patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus enrolled in the Registro Colombiano de Falla Cardíaca (RECOLFACA) were included. RECOLFACA enrolled adult patients with heart failure diagnosis from 60 medical centers in Colombia during 2017-2019. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Survival analysis was performed using adjusted Cox proportional hazard models.Results. A total of 2514 patients were included, and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus was 24.7% (n = 620). We found seven independent predictors of short-term mortality for the general cohort, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sinus rhythm, triple therapy, nitrates use, statins use, anemia, and hyperkalemia. In the type 2 diabetes mellitus group, only the left ventricle diastolic diameter was an independent mortality predictor (HR = 0.96; 95% CI: 0.93-0.98). There was no evidence of effect modification by type 2 diabetes mellitus on the relationship between any independent predictors and all-cause mortality. However, a significant effect modification by type 2 diabetes mellitus between smoking and mortality was observed.Conclusions. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus had higher mortality risk. Our results also suggest that type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis does not modify the effect of the independent risk factors for mortality in heart failure evaluated. However, type 2 diabetes mellitus significantly modify the risk relation between mortality and smoking in patients with heart failure.

Background

Tracking the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria is critical to reduce global morbidity and mortality associated with human and animal infections. There is a need to understand the role that wild animals in maintenance and transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).

Methods

This study used metagenomics to identify and compare the abundance of bacterial species and ARGs detected in the gut microbiomes from sympatric humans and wild mouse lemurs in a forest-dominated, roadless region of Madagascar near Ranomafana National Park. We examined the contribution of human geographic location toward differences in ARG abundance and compared the genomic similarity of ARGs between host source microbiomes.

Results

Alpha and beta diversity of species and ARGs between host sources were distinct but maintained a similar number of detectable ARG alleles. Humans were differentially more abundant for four distinct tetracycline resistance-associated genes compared to lemurs. There was no significant difference in human ARG diversity from different locations. Human and lemur microbiomes shared 14 distinct ARGs with highly conserved in nucleotide identity. Synteny of ARG-associated assemblies revealed a distinct multidrug-resistant gene cassette carrying dfrA1 and aadA1 present in human and lemur microbiomes without evidence of geographic overlap, suggesting that these resistance genes could be widespread in this ecosystem. Further investigation into intermediary processes that maintain drug-resistant bacteria in wildlife settings is needed.
Race/Class Conflict and Urban Financial Threat
Authors: Hochschild Jennifer
Published: July 2024

The foundation of racial and class inequality shapes many of American cities’ policy disputes and corresponding political alignments—except when it does not. In this book, Jennifer L. Hochschild, begins with three controversial assertions: Particular policy issues in a city are associated with distinct political alignments, often independent of national-level partisan polarization or even political alignments around other policy issues. Race and class inequality underlies and often constructs these policy issues and associated political alignments. But not always: an existential threat, often based in market forces, sometimes supersedes race and class inequality in shaping policy disputes and political activity. The book’s examination of those assertions is organized around a central puzzle: When is race and class inequality at the core of a policy issue? If it is at the core, how is it manifested and how does it shape the policy arena and its accompanying politics? If race and class inequality is not at the core of a policy issue, what else is—and why is that alternative force more important? Hochschild engages with that puzzle by examining four policy arenas and their accompanying politics in four large American cities: policing, especially the tactic of Stop-Question-Frisk in New York City; development, especially near the rail-to-trail BeltLine in Atlanta; school reform, especially charter schools in Los Angeles Unified School District; and fiscal policy, especially public sector union pension funding, in Chicago.
