QUANTUM CORRECTION TO THE SYNCHROTRON RADIATION
Authors:   Department of Physical Electronics, and The Laboratory of the Plasma Physics, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic, Pardy Miroslav
Published: January 2025

We calculate the quantum corrections to synchrotron radiation by method developed by Schwinger and Tsai. The traditional calculation method working with the particle wave functions is here replaced by the mass operator approach avoiding the particle final states and the integration over photon angular distribution. The algorithm of the calculation of the quantum corrections to the synchrotron radiation consists in the evaluation of the forward Compton scattering process in the external magnetic field and then in application of the optical theorem to obtain the angular and frequency distribution.
Negative Risks for Academic Research Projects: A Retrospective Analysis of Data from a Convenience Sample of Hundreds of Research Team Members
Authors: Paprica P. Alison
Published: January 2025

Academic research projects receive hundreds of billions of dollars of government investment each year. They complement business research projects by generating new foundational knowledge and addressing societal challenges. Despite the magnitude and importance of academic research, the management of it is often ad hoc. It has been postulated that academic research projects' inherent uncertainty and complexity make them challenging to manage. However, this retrospective analysis of input and voting from more than 500 academic research team members in facilitated risk management sessions found that many of the negative risks perceived as important were general, as opposed to being research-specific. Across 15 separate facilitated sessions, the top negative risks were related to funding, personnel, unreliable partners, study participant recruitment, and data access. Many of these risks would require system- or organization-level responses that are beyond the scope of individual academic research teams.
The Current Impasse in Scholarship on the Resurrection of Jesus: An Attempt to Clear the Undergrowth
Authors: Smith Stephen
Published: January 2025

Some time ago Simon Joseph[1] considered the impasse between evangelical and rationalist scholars concerning the nature of Jesus’s resurrection. Clearly this deadlock had been reached long before Joseph wrote about it, and so it remains. Is there any hope of a resolution? The key stumbling block is undoubtedly the presuppositional stance taken by each side. For the evangelical no proposed solution must be allowed to override the belief that the resurrection event was an act of God, whereas the various proposed rationalistic alternatives are generally based on the assumption that brain-dead individuals cannot be restored to life, and that Jesus, as one such individual, cannot be regarded as an exception. I shall begin the present paper by expanding a little on the causes of the current impasse before attempting to clarify the question of history and miracle. I shall then try to clear the undergrowth from the accumulation of rationalistic explanations for the resurrection, thereby enabling us to better see the wood for the trees. I shall suggest that a hypothesis based on bereavement visions is the most plausible rationalistic explanation, and that it has the advantage of not requiring a supernatural element.

Published: January 2025

Differentiated learning is an approach that aims to accommodate students' needs and learning styles in the learning process. In learning mathematics in primary schools, students often face challenges in understanding abstract concepts, so flexible and responsive teaching strategies are required. This study aims to explore the application of differentiated learning methods in mathematics at State 2 Wameo Primary School, Baubau City, and evaluate teachers' and students' perspectives on the effectiveness of this approach. The research used a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews with teachers and students, observation of learning activities, and analysis of learning documents. Participants consisted of fourth and fifth grade students who have various learning styles, as well as teachers involved in the implementation of differentiated learning. The results show that differentiated learning helps students understand math materials better through media and tasks that suit their learning styles. However, teachers face challenges in providing equal attention, adjusting learning strategies and distributing tasks fairly due to limited time and resources. This research contributes to the development of more inclusive and adaptive mathematics learning strategies and provides a basis for educational policies that support students' diverse learning needs, but still provides a basis for educational policies that support students' learning needs.
Selected US Tax Developments: Treaty Provides Unique Benefits to Canadians Migrating to the United States
Authors: Rhein Jonathan , Rudick Rhonda
Published: January 2025

Canadians who emigrate to the United States or elsewhere face many decisions and considerations associated with departure, but careful tax planning should not be an afterthought. When an individual ceases to be resident in Canada, the individual is deemed to dispose of all of the individual’s property (subject to certain listed exceptions) for fair market value proceeds immediately before departure and is required to pay Canada’s departure tax on the deemed disposition. This tax presents an opportunity for the individual to step up the US tax basis in the property under the US-Canada treaty.

It’s known that hydropurification process of diesel fuels leads to elimination of sulfur-, nitrogen- and oxygen-containing compounds in their composition and causes in a violation of chemical stability, compensated by the use of additives. Heteroatom-containing phenol and alkylphenol-formaldehyde oligomers are widely studied as effective multifunctional additives for fuels and oils. Imidazolinaminemodified oxyethylated nonylphenol-formaldehyde oligomers were studied as multifunctional diesel fuel additives. It was established that addition of imidazolinamine-modified oxyethylated nonylphenolformaldehyde oligomers to hydropurified diesel fuel causes a decrease in the amount of sediment formed from 2.5 to 0.2 mg/100 ml of product; freezing point also decreases from -10 to -18C. It was proved that the use of synthesized additives in hydropurified diesel fuel improves some of its performance properties.

Published: January 2025

Investasi yang dilakukan oleh investor diasumsikan selalu didasarkan pada pertimbangan yang rasional sehingga berbagai jenis informasi diperlukan untuk pengambilan keputusan investasi.Dalam dunia yang sebenarnya hampir semua investasi mengandung unsur ketidakpastian atau risiko. Pemodal tidak mengetahui dengan pasti hasil yang akan diperoleh dari investasi yang dilakukan. Dengan demikian, pemodal akan menghadapi risiko dalam investasi yang akan dilakukannya. Dilihat dari besarnya tingkat keuntungan, risiko yang diperoleh di pasar modal lebih besar dibandingkan risiko di pasar uang karena risiko yang besar akan menghasilkan keuntungan yang besar, sedangkan risiko yang kecil akan menghasilkan keuntungan yang kecil pula (Jogiyanto: 2010). Untuk dapat meminimalkan risiko dalam investasi saham di pasar modal, pemodal dapat melakukan portofolio (diversifikasi) saham yaitu dengan melakukan investasi pada banyak saham sehingga risiko kerugian pada satu saham dapat ditutup dengan keuntungan pada saham yang lainnya. Untuk mengetahui saham mana yang memiliki tingkat keuntungan yang tinggi dengan risiko tertentu serta meminimalkan risiko tersebut dan pendekatan yang digunakan untuk menentukan risiko portofolio total adalah pendekatan Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).

Male leafhopper’s choice behavior in response to different maize and conspecific cues
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Righini Nicoletta , Ramírez-Romero Ricardo
Published: January 2025

The corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (Delong and Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), is asignificant pest of maize (Zea mays L.) across the Americas, particularly noted for its role intransmitting various phytopathogens. Although direct damage from sap ingestion isminimal, the economic impact of these pathogens has been severe, resulting in substantialyield losses. Despite the pest’s agricultural importance, little research has focused on itsolfactory selection and the potential influence of volatile cues from host plants orconspecifics. This study investigated whether male D. maidis preferentially chose volatilesemitted from maize plants, conspecifics, or a combination of both. Behavioral observationscarried out in a four-armed olfactometer revealed that male leafhoppers spent significantlymore time in the arm containing the scent of both sexes than the arm with the scent of othermales, although responses to female scents were not significantly different acrosstreatments. We also did not found differences regarding the number of choices for thescented arm and the visit duration in response to different stimuli from plants. The resultsindicate a generally neutral choice towards the tested volatiles, suggesting that D. maidismales may rely more on other sensory inputs for host selection. This research lays thefoundation for future studies on the chemical ecology of D. maidis, with implications fordeveloping innovative pest management strategies

Authors: Atilano Robles Edwin
Published: January 2025

La pandemia de COVID-19 no solo tuvo efectos sanitarios, sino que tuvo un impacto en la forma en la que los gobiernos atienden las necesidades de sus ciudadanos. Asimismo, la propagación del virus SARS-COV2 trajo consigo múltiples dificultades en la provisión de servicios públicos municipales. Es por estos motivos que la presente investigación examina el impacto de la alternancia política en la provisión de servicios públicos municipales durante la crisis sanitaria. A través de un enfoque de Diferencia en Diferencias, se identificó que los gobiernos de alternancia incrementaron la provisión de ciertos servicios públicos a nivel municipal, especialmente en lo correspondiente a la cobertura de agua potable, recolección de residuos y drenaje entre 2019 y 2021. Sin embargo, estos gobiernos demostraron un ligero impacto negativo en la seguridad municipal. Esta investigación subraya la influencia de la alternancia en la gestión y provisión de servicios durante tiempos de crisis.

Sartre ne croyait pas, peut-être, aux frontières qui existent entre activité littéraire et réflexion philosophique. Pour cette raison, on retrouve dans ses pièces une certaine méditation philosophique. "Huis clos" est une pièce qui traduit sa conception « l’enfer est les autres » à travers laquelle nous nous demandons comment Sartre traite le regard objectivant de l'Autre dans une perspective philosophique et symbolique.

Approaches to Sustainable Agriculture: A Retrospective Analysis for Soil Health Improvement
Authors: Katherasala Srinivas
Published: January 2025

Gaining insight into farmers' viewpoints is essential for attaining Sustainable Development Goals in agriculture. By actively involving farmers and integrating their perspectives, it is possible to foster novel strategies that enhance soil quality and bolster the agricultural ecosystem. It is possible to improve soil health and reduce reliance on outside inputs by using regenerative farming methods that are based on agroecological principles and precision farming technologies. Engaging in collaboration with researchers, policymakers, and agricultural communities is crucial to jointly developing creative artificial intelligence (AI), which has the potential to enhance economic expansion, reduce inefficiencies, and provide nutrients directly to plant roots. This transformation revolves around the recognition of solutions that effectively tackle the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and advance the improvement of soil health. The study regenerated previous understanding and recommended that farmers investigate the intricate correlation between bacteria and nutrients to discover more effective approaches to soil management. Several natural alternatives include cyanobacteria, biofertilizers, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), and livestock manure. Optimal soil health is crucial for the overall functioning and sustainability of entire ecosystems. The study emphasized the significance of prioritizing farmers' practices and adopting their perspectives to comprehend the real-time decision-making process. Furthermore, the study suggested some effective recommendations that farmers should receive to practice land tilling, smart farming adoption, residue management, and weed management. These potential strategies significantly enhance agricultural productivity.

Resource Utilization and Profitability of Rice Production in The Terai Region of Nepal
Authors: Sherestha Lal Kumar , Thapa Yam Bahadur , Dhakal Shiva Chandra , Gauchan Devendra
Published: January 2025

Rice is the most important staple food crops in Nepal; however, the national yield of rice is low which has led in insufficient supply and heavy annual import. So, this study assessed the profitability and resource utilization of main and spring season rice production. A Semi-structured interview schedule was administered in 2022 among 360 randomly selected main-season rice-producing farmers across three major rice-producing districts of the Terai region of Nepal. Similarly, it conducted four Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to collect necessary data for spring season rice from two Terai districts within similar agro-ecological regions. Cobb-Douglas production function was used to assess the resource utilization in main season rice production. The result revealed that the total cost and revenue of spring season rice production per hectare was higher, with a benefit-cost ratio of 1.63 compared to the main season. It was found that major resources such as the cost of seed, farm yard manure (FYM), chemical fertilizer, micronutrients, and pesticides were underused. On the other hand, the cost of labor, tillage, and harvesting were found to be overused in the main season of rice production. The proportion of the increase in rice income to the increase in costs of inputs for main season rice production was less, as indicated by the return to scale being less than unity. Hence, the study recommends to focus on addressing on prioritization to increase the cropping area under spring season rice and optimization in the use of resources supported by improved technologies to improve profitability and increase farmers’ income from rice this can eases the constraints in the domestic supply of rice and thereby contribute to lowering the annual volume of rice import.

An on-farm experiment was conducted in three salt-affected sites with three planting densities, 29630, 37037, and 74074 ha-1 through the planting arrangement of 75 cm × 45 cm, 60 cm × 45 cm, and 45 cm × 30 cm, respectively, under zero tilled condition with four replications. Results revealed that seed yield obtained in planting arrangement, 60 cm × 45 cm and 45 cm × 30 cm were 31.3 % and 22.2 % higher than 75 cm × 45 cm, respectively. The locations with salinity of 6.02 and 7.71 dS m-1 decreased seed yield by 6.5 % and 17.4 %, respectively, compared to 4.93 dS m-1. The planting arrangement, 60 cm × 45 cm increased the gross margin by 35-50 % but decreased by 24-49 % in 45 cm × 30 cm. The adoption of a planting arrangement, 60 cm × 45 cm can increase the productivity of zero-tilled dibbled sunflower and thus increase the income of coastal saline farmers.

Evaluation of Different Chemical Insecticides and Biopesticides Against Vegetable Leaf Miner, Liriomyza Sativae in Tomato
Authors: Das Krishna Rani
Published: January 2025

Vegetable leaf miner once considered as a secondary pest is now emerging as a primary pest of vegetables including tomato. It is also considered as an A1quarantine pest. Two experiments were performed to evaluate the efficacy of various insecticides against vegetable leaf miner in entomology laboratory and central farm of Sher- e- Bangla Agricultural University during October, 2019 to April, 2020. Seven insecticides such as Imidachloprid, Lamda cyhalothrin, Emamectin benjoate, Spinosad, abamectin, Matrine, azadirachtin at recommended dosages were evaluated to control vegetable leaf miner at both laboratory and field condition. In case of laboratory experiment, treatments were evaluated using leaf dip technique in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. In field study the treatments were laid in a completely randomized block design with three replications using Tomato as a host plant.  Among all the tested chemical and bio pesticides, Proclaim 5SG ) @ 1.0g L-1 water, Tracer 45SC  @ 0.4 ml L-1water and Vertimec 018 EC@ 1.2 ml L-1water were most effective against Liriomyza leaf miner in both condition. Thus three timely sprays of any one of these pesticides viz. Proclaim 5SG, Tracer 45SC and Vertimec 018 EC at recommended dosages could be helpful to reduce the infestation of vegetable leaf miner.

Authors: Rios Emily , Silano Flávio , de Melo Amaral Ricardo Bandeira , Santana Rodolfo Carvalho , do Amaral Paulo Cezar Galvão
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Intestinal intussusception in adults is quite rare, accounting for 1-5% of cases of intestinal semi-occlusion. The most frequent symptoms are nausea, vomiting and abdominal distension, as in any obstructive condition seen in the emergency room. Most cases of intestinal intussusception do not have a preoperative etiological diagnosis, due to difficulty in interpreting the radiological image.

Case presentation: Case report of a 62-year-old male patient who was admitted to the emergency room at Hospital da Cidade in Salvador- Bahia- Brazil with semi-occlusion secondary to intestinal intussusception. During a multidisciplinary discussion with the radiology team, specialized in the digestive system, a preoperative diagnosis of lipoma was possible. Patient underwent primary resection without the need for oncological standardization.

Conclusion: In this case report, it was possible, with specialized discussion, to pre-operatively diagnose lipoma as a cause of intestinal intussusception.

Authors: Quezada Ma Teresa Prieto , Fregoso Elba Irene Vega
Published: January 2025

La terapia narrativa y la gamificación abren una nueva propuesta en la construcción de valores de convivencia basada en una intervención educativa para mejorar la convivencia escolar. La elección metodológica de esta investigación llevó a una elección epistemológica de la premisa del poder de la narrativa como recurso de intervención de una realidad construida socialmente que no es independiente de los sujetos que la habitan. El principal objetivo de este estudio es explicar la necesidad de mejorar la educación en niñas y niños, con el apoyo de las redes de comunicación que proporciona la virtualidad en beneficio de los procesos educativos, y mejorar la convivencia, con el apoyo de la terapia narrativa como una provocación lúdica para innovar en la investigación y en la intervención educativa, en el que los profesores construyen experiencias escolares alrededor de la palabra y escritura en respuesta a problemas prioritarios en nuestras sociedades.
Ecos coloniales en el presente: paisajes y archivos audiovisuales de la Patagonia binacional
Authors: Vargas Maia Gattás
Published: January 2025

A través de un corpus compuesto por seis películas de diversos géneros: Orelie Antoine, rey de la Patagonia (Narcisa Hirsch, 1983); La película del rey (Carlos Sorin, 1986); Un rey para la Patagonia: una Superproducción Subdesarrollada (Lucas Turturro, 2010); Rey (Niles Atallah, 2017); Gigantes (Natalia Cano, 2020) y Notas para una película (Ignacio Agüero, 2022), observaremos cómo estas registran algunas memorias y archivos coloniales en la Patagonia argentino-chilena. Trabajaremos con una metodología transdisciplinaria que combina los estudios de la historia transnacional, que busca los puntos de contacto y los intercambios entre ambos países y la descripción de la poética cinematográfica con el objetivo de reflexionar cómo las cicatrices coloniales sobreviven en el presente y son actualizadas críticamente a través del cine. Como resultado planteamos la propuesta de geografía relacional que se pone de manifiesto en la poética de los audiovisuales, los cuales buscan construir relatos fronterizos ya que poseen fronteras borrosas entre pasado y presente, entre elementos ficcionales y documentales.

Secondary prophylaxis using inhaled colistin (IC) was implemented to prevent recurrences of Pseudomonas aeruginosa or extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE) pneumonia during the postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) stay after lung transplantation (LT). We evaluated the risk of emergence of colistin resistance in the respiratory tract during secondary IC prophylaxis. We conducted a prospective, single-centre, observational study of all adult patients who underwent LT between 1 July 2018 and 30 June 2019. IC was started and continued for at least 90 days for P. aeruginosa or ESBL-PE pneumonia. During the 90 days following LT, all respiratory samples were routinely tested for the presence of GNB of reduced susceptibility to colistin. Twenty-seven (38.6%) of the 70 included patients received IC. Among the 867 respiratory samples tested, IC did not promote the emergence of bacterial species with natural or acquired resistance to colistin (incidence-rate ratio of 0.21 [0.03–1.58], p = 0.13 and 1.68 [0.55–5.12], p = 0.37, respectively). Our study suggests no association between the use of IC and an increased risk of colistin resistance in the respiratory tract within 90 days of LT.
A Study of the Stability of an Industrial Robot Servo System: PID Control Based on a Hybrid Sparrow Optimization Algorithm
Authors: Wang Pengxiang , Feng Tingping , Song Changlin , Li Junmin , Yang Simon X.
Published: January 2025

Industrial robots can cause servo system instability during operation due to friction between joints and changes in end loads, which results in jittering of the robotic arm. Therefore, this paper proposes a hybrid sparrow search algorithm (HSSA) method for PID parameter optimization. By studying the optimization characteristics of the genetic algorithm (GA) and sparrow search algorithm (SSA), the method combines the global optimization ability of GA and the local optimization ability of SSA, thus effectively reducing the risk of SSA falling into local optimum and improving the ability of SSA to find global optimization solutions. On the basis of the traditional PID control algorithm, HSSA is used to intelligently optimize the PID parameters so that it can better meet the nonlinear motion of the industrial robot servo system. It is proven through experiments that the HSSA in this paper, compared with GA, SSA, and traditional PID, has a maximum improvement of 73% in the step response time and a maximum improvement of more than 95% in the iterative optimization search speed. The experimental results show that the method has a good suppression effect on the jitter generated by industrial robots in motion, effectively improving the stability of the servo system, so this work greatly improves the stability and safety of industrial robots in operation.
Towards a Deeper Understanding of Strategic Management Factors in International Non-Governmental Organizations
Authors: Zhang Xue , Saadé Raafat George
Published: January 2025

International activities by all NGOs have become ubiquitous. Therefore, international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) are significantly and gradually increasing their international influence shaping a new paradigm for global affairs ranging from human aid to digital governance. In this study, we delve into the literature and connect with professionals to get a deeper understanding of how strategic management is addressed and perceived in INGOs. The paper is composed of two parts, namely a comprehensive literature review followed by a pilot survey-based empirical study, to assess and validate relevant constructs/factors in the context of INGOs. The survey methodology approach was used to assess factors using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Outcomes from the literature review were cross-examined against the EFA to guide the categorization of factors vis-à-vis new findings. Twelve validated questions relevant to our context were adapted and composed in the survey. EFA resulted in the significant regrouping of items into three factors. We therefore reformulated the constructs in the INGO context. These constructs are strategic structures, human capital, and change management. Strategic constructs represent the traditional strategic management theory. Change management was shown to be a strong factor for the adequate setup and management of strategic structures, and human capital represents a new factor specific to INGOs.
