El objetivo de este artículo es identificar la prevalencia de deserción en los alumnos de la Licenciatura en Nutrición (LN) de una universidad pública de México, las causas relacionadas con la deserción y agruparlas de acuerdo a sus características. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo en dos fases, en la fase 1 se identificaron los datos históricos de deserción del programa educativo. En la fase 2, se aplicó una encuesta de construcción propia con preguntas abiertas y cerradas, de la cual se obtuvo la respuesta de 75 estudiantes desertores. La encuesta incluyó un análisis dicotómico (sí, no) de 18 factores asociados a la deserción escolar, totalizando 22 al incorporar los aspectos cualitativos obtenidos de la opción de respuesta "otros"; estos factores se agruparon en seis categorías. Se encontró una tasa de deserción escolar del 18% para el plan de estudios actual y el intermedio y hasta el 33% en el primer plan de estudios. De los desertores detectados, el 58.6% lo hizo en el primer año de estudios. El 66% de los desertores reprobaron al menos una unidad de aprendizaje y tienen una calificación promedio de 72.71, por debajo de la media general de la LN del centro universitario (91.8). De los desertores, el 49.3% identificó el cambio de carrera como su motivo de abandono, este factor forma parte de la categoría de "causas vocacionales" que ocupó el primer lugar con el 72%, seguido de "aspectos personales" con el 49.3% incluyendo 3 casos de maternidad; y en tercer lugar la categoría de "aspectos económicos" (26.7%).

Published: January 2024

A raíz del inicio de la pandemia del COVID-19 en el Paraguay, el Poder Ejecutivo tomó la decisión de no retornar a clases y el Ministerio de Educación y Ciencias (MEC) adoptó la modalidad de educación a distancia. Este estudio busca evaluar como la pandemia del COVID-19 influyó en los procesos educativos siguiendo las medidas de bioseguridad establecidas por el Ministerio de Salud Pública y Bienestar Social. Se utilizó la técnica de revisión documental, y lecturas sobre informes investigativos para constatar la realidad en tiempos de pandemia.Es relevante mencionar que el COVID-19 arrastró no solo una crisis sanitaria, sino también económica, alimentaria, tecnológica y educativa modificando la normalidad en la que vivíamos. Se concluye que el uso de estrategias de alcance y aprendizaje creativas para el buen desempeño de las funciones pedagógicas fue esencial para dar continuidad a la educación. Los resultados indican que el confinamiento afectó la relación entre docentes y estudiantes, generando un desequilibrio emocional, frustraciones, obstáculos y falta de comprensión coherente de contenidos. Se recomienda romper las brechas en el acceso a las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación, para que las mismas no sean un impedimento a la hora de continuar el proceso educativo.

Published: January 2024

En el Estado mexicano de Tabasco se sufrieron inundaciones durante la pandemia COVID-19; ambos factores implicaron el cierre de escuelas durante varias semanas, por ello las clases debieron ser por internet y televisión. Todo lo anterior significó mayores cargas de trabajo, así como nuevas demandas para las personas dedicadas a la docencia. Por tanto, el objetivo del estudio es identificar el grado de afectación durante las inundaciones y la pandemia COVID-19 sobre la calidad de vida de los docentes. Así, se lanzó una encuesta por internet para ser respondida voluntaria y anónimamente, aplicándose los siguientes instrumentos: Desequilibrio entre el Esfuerzo y las Recompensas: Engagement, Síndrome de Quemarse por el Trabajo, y Salud Mental y Física Percibidas, recibiéndose 276 cuestionarios. Se obtuvieron índices omega de confiabilidad dentro de las normas aceptadas internacionalmente. Se calcularon las medias de cada factor, así como las correlaciones entre ellos. En términos generales los factores positivos dieron mediciones superiores a los negativos, indicando fortaleza psicológica en las personas dedicadas a la docencia aún durante situaciones extremadamente difíciles. Las limitaciones del estudio son: estar restringido a un área geográfica y no haber sidoobtenido al azar. Se sugiere efectuar otras investigaciones a fin de generalizar los resultados.

Published: January 2024

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of digital inclusion initiatives aimed at mitigating the connectivity gap in Africa and the United States. As the world becomes increasingly reliant on digital technologies, the importance of ensuring equitable access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) has become a global priority. This review explores the current state of digital inclusion efforts in two distinct regions, Africa and the USA, to understand the challenges, successes, and lessons learned in bridging the digital divide. The first section of the review focuses on Africa, where disparities in digital access are particularly pronounced. Examining various initiatives, policies, and strategies implemented by governments, non-governmental organizations, and international partners, the review delves into the multifaceted approaches taken to extend connectivity to underserved populations. It highlights the role of innovative solutions such as community networks, mobile technologies, and public-private partnerships in fostering digital inclusion across diverse socio-economic landscapes. In the second section, the review turns its attention to the United States, where digital inclusion efforts also face challenges despite higher overall connectivity rates. By analyzing federal and local initiatives, as well as private sector contributions, the review explores the nuances of digital inclusion in an advanced technological landscape. The examination encompasses efforts to address urban-rural disparities, promote digital literacy, and ensure affordable broadband access for marginalized communities. Comparative analysis between the two regions identifies commonalities and differences in the approaches to digital inclusion. The review assesses the impact of cultural, economic, and political factors on the effectiveness of initiatives, emphasizing the need for context-specific strategies. Furthermore, it evaluates the role of regulatory frameworks and policy interventions in shaping the trajectory of digital inclusion initiatives. Drawing from the experiences of both continents, this review contributes insights to inform future digital inclusion policies and practices globally. By synthesizing the lessons learned from Africa and the USA, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners can develop more nuanced and contextually relevant strategies to bridge the connectivity gap, fostering a more inclusive and equitable digital future for all.

Published: January 2024

Shallot (Allium cepa var. ascalonicum Backer) is an important vegetable crop cultivated by small holder farmers for consumption in Gamo mid and high lands. However, its production and productivity is constrained by lack of improved shallot varieties in the study area. Field experiment was conducted in Gamo Zone during 2021 and 2022 cropping season. The objective of the experiment was to select well adaptive and high yielding shallot varieties for the study areas. Eight shallot varieties in two sets (bulb propagated sets and seed propagated sets) were evaluated in randomized complete block design with four replications by using double row spacing of 40cm x 20cm in Plot size of 2.4m x 2m. The combined analysis of the mean over years showed that there was a statistical significant mean difference (P<0.01) among the varieties for yield and some yield related traits. Among the bulb propagated varieties tested, the highest number of splits (13.75) per plant (bulb) was recorded by variety ‘’DZSHT-00/2” followed by “Minjar” (12.18). Similarly, “DZSHT-00/2” gave the highest bulb yield (21.22 t ha-1) followed by “Minjar” (19.27 t ha-1). On the other hand, the highest marketable bulb yield of 9.61 t ha-1 was recorded by variety “Tropics” followed by “DZSHT-157-21” (7.47 t ha-1). Hence, varieties “DZSHT-005/2” and “Tropics” are recommended for popularization and production due to their better yield and adaptability in the study area.

Published: January 2024

This research explores the pivotal role of social exchange in shaping sustainable partnerships between vegetable farmers and customers in Dusun Wayari. Within the framework of a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews as the research method, this study identifies two primary dimensions of social relations within the vegetable agribusiness system in Dusun Wayari: the associative dimension and the disassociative dimension. The research findings indicate that social exchange plays a central role in establishing close relationships between vegetable farmers and customers. During the process of ordering and harvesting vegetables, the interdependence between farmers and customers serves as a strong foundation for mutually beneficial social relations. Farmers provide high-quality products, while customers offer financial support and long-term commitment. This study underscores that social relations based on social exchange play a key role in creating sustainable partnerships in the vegetable agribusiness. In addition to benefiting farmers and customers, these relations also contribute to the collective well-being within the local community. Therefore, a deeper understanding of social relations within this agribusiness system has the potential to provide valuable insights and practical guidance for the development of sustainable business models in agriculture and other local business sectors.

This article discusses the failure of female legislative candidates from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) in the 2019 Legislative General Election in Ambon City. This research employs a qualitative approach with an explanatory research method. The research findings reveal that this failure can be attributed to several key factors. First, party recruitment and cadreship have not been optimally executed, leading to inadequate preparation for female candidates. Second, the political leadership of women within the party remains minimal, resulting in a lack of support and opportunities for female candidates. Third, the prominence of female figures is also limited, leading to reduced appeal and influence for female candidates. Finally, a low social base diminishes the electability potential of female candidates. The results of this research provide crucial insights into the role of women in politics within a local context and highlight the need for improvements in party recruitment, cadreship, and support for female candidates. Additionally, this study underscores the importance of employing an explanatory qualitative approach in analyzing political and gender-related issues.

Люцерна: історія походження назви, агроекологічне значення, основа високобілкових кормів
Authors: Antoniv S. , Kolisnyk S. , Zapruta О.
Published: January 2024

Мета. Науково-історичне обґрунтування еволюційного розвитку назви люцерни українською і міжнародною науковою латинською та іншими мовами на основі історичної лінгвістики. Методи. Лінгвістичний, науково-історичний. Результати. Аргументовано і з наукової точки зору подано визначення походження назви основної високобілкової кормової культури – люцерни посівної в давньоісторичний орійський період європейської цивілізації, яку творили давні предки українців – 8-12 тис. років тому. Встановлено, що назва рослини пояснюється яскраво-жовтою поверхнею насіння та жовтими яскравими квітучими пагонами. Ймовірно, латинське слово Lucerna походить від українських слів "луч", "луча", "лучина" (сонячне проміння, світло, блиск). Латинська міжнародна ботанічна назва люцерни Medicago походить від назви стародавньої країни Мідії, де люцерна була відома в давнину під назвою Медик. Це означає, що рослина вперше була знайдена в стародавній провінції Мідія, яка сьогодні розташована на південному заході Ірану і південному сході Туреччини, охоплюючи майже весь Кавказький регіон від річки Аракс і гори Ельбрус на півночі до іранського (Фарс) кордону. Давні предки українців цивілізували Мікени, ввели люцерну, дуже корисну кормову і медоносну рослину, в свою культуру і привезли її в Європу в період вторгненням мікенців і персів близько 490 року до нашої ери в Грецію. У той час конюшина була відома під назвою "лікарська". Висновки. На основі наукового, історичного, лінгвістичного аналізу встановлено етимологію, походження ботанічної наукової назви основної, високобілкової кормової культури – люцерни латинською й українською мовами.

Assessing the Impact of a Safety Income Model as an Alternative Approach to Universal Basic Income: A Case Study in South Korea
Authors: Park Ki Seong , Cho Gyeong Lyeob , Kim Yong Min , Hiilamo Heikki
Published: January 2024

  

In the past decade, the Universal Basic Income (UBI) concept has gained significant traction as a potential remedy for poverty and inequality. However, the practical implications of UBI implementation remain under extensive debate. This study shifts its focus towards an alternative minimum-security model, the Safety Income (SI) Model, representing a nuanced departure from both established policies and UBI. SI is a welfare system that supplements households earning below the standard median income with 50 percent of the difference between the standard median and their current earnings. The study presents the set-up of SI and assesses the cost of its implementation in South Korea. Employing a computable general equilibrium model, the study analyze the impacts of SI, UBI, and the existing scheme in South Korea on income disparities, labor market outcomes, and Gross Domestic Product. Our analyses demonstrate that SI outperforms the other two welfare systems across all economic indicators. This research contributes to the discourse surrounding economic security, poverty alleviation, and inclusive social policies.
Collaborative learning: students' insights into the criteria that define effective collaboration match those of experts
Authors: kramer ijsbrand
Published: January 2024

Assessing group functioning can be part of group-based learning, referred to here as collaborative learning. The aim of assessment is to encourage collaboration and ensure individual accountability, thereby reducing social loafing and increasing fairness for members. There are many rules proposed by experts, behavioral criteria that promote effective group work, against which group members can be assessed (category-based assessment). In our group-assessment protocol, students define their own rules; a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 7. The main reason for this approach is to give students maximum autonomy. A possible objection to such an approach is that students may overlook some essential criteria and thus (learn to) collaborate incorrectly. To see to what extent expert- and student rules match, we compared expert rules (124 from 12 publications) with student rules (810 from 147 secondary school and university groups). We find that they create the same rules, but that there are some differences in emphasis. We conclude that students have sufficient understanding of collaboration and that when they participate in multiple projects in different groups, they are likely to be exposed to all of the experts' rules.

It contributes over half of the country’s GDP and is a highly attractive sector. This study aims to rank the top food and beverage companies based on their stock market performance ratios. The criteria weights were determined by using DEMATEL and CRITIC methods, with the help of three experts for DEMATEL. The stock market performances of the companies were evaluated by using three MCDM methods; EDAS, WASPAS, and TOPSIS, with the weights obtained from both DEMATEL and CRITIC. The robustness of the results was tested by applying various combinations of weighting and evaluation methods. According to the DEMATEL, earnings per share had the highest weight while CRITIC found the market value to book value ratio as the most important criterion. The study concluded that the best-ranked companies are CCOLA and TBORG. Also, there is no significant stability in other companies’ rankings. To reveal which methods produced similar rankings, Spearman’s Rank Correlation analysis was conducted: while WASPAS combinations produced similar rankings, all EDAS and TOPSIS combinations gave similar findings.
The ABC of academic writing: non-native speakers’ perspective
Authors: Nakagawa Shinichi , Lagisz Malgorzata
Published: January 2024

Academic writing is difficult, especially for non-native English speakers. We share a perspective on writing with a set of heuristics called the Writing Alphabet, consisting of Accurate, Brief, Clear, Dynamic, Engaging, Flowing, Goal, Habit, and Investment. These points can help struggling writers identify issues and, importantly, internalise good writing practices.
Elastic Modeling of Three-point Supported Drivetrain for Mitigation of Wind Turbine Aerodynamic Loads
Authors: M.Fekry  , Yoshida Shigeo
Published: January 2024

The drivetrain (DT) is a critical part of the wind turbine (WT). It is subjected to different types of asymmetrical loads. Consequently, there is a need for a reasonable modeling of the DT that couples all the subsystems of the WT together, that is computationally inexpensive, and achieves generality. In this work, we investigate the effect of the DT motion on the latter parts of the WT. The addition of the three-point supported DT on the OpenFAST platform helps to establish a confident modeling of the WT with the DT. The modeling of the DT has two degrees of freedom (DOF) that allows the DT to pitch and yaw around the main bearing (Pivot point). The validation of the new WT dynamics is conducted through various comparisons with the original WT dynamics. The effect of the DT elasticity on the blade and tower is investigated for NREL 5MW WT. The results show that the elasticity of the drivetrain DOFs (DTDOF) can reduce tower top fore-aft and yaw moments by over 50% and the blades root moments by 15%. Moreover, The damage equivalent load (DEL) results agree well with other results of time and frequency domain.
The Precision Oncology Approach to Molecular Cancer Therapeutics Targeting Oncogenic Signaling Pathways is a Means to an End
Authors: KUMAR MANISH
Published: January 2024

Cancer is a fatal genetic disease with different aspects of complexity, including cancer immune evasion, treatment resistance and recurrence, requiring optimized treatment for proper cure. Molecular studies have revealed that tumors are hugely heterogeneous in nature, leading to the complexity of cancer progression that is ultimately linked to its genetic machinery. In recent decades, there has been a deluge in the large-scale production of anticancer agents, primarily due to advances in genomic technologies enabling precise targeting of oncogenic pathways involved in disease development. It is important to note that patients with the same types of cancer respond differently to cancer treatments, indicating the need for patient-specific treatment options. An in-depth genomic study of tumors will be needed to fully understand the driving factors of cancer initiation and progression for effective targeted therapy. Precision oncology has evolved as a form of cancer therapy focused on genetic profiling of patients’ tumors to identify molecular alterations involved in cancer manifestation for tailored individualized treatment of the disease. This article aims to briefly explain the foundations and frontiers of precision oncology and review the tools and techniques involved in the process to assess its scope and importance in achieving effective cures against cancer.

Mis- and disinformation pose substantial societal challenges, and have thus become the focus of a substantive field of research. However, the field of misinformation research has recently come under scrutiny on two fronts. First, a political response has emerged, claiming that misinformation research aims to censor conservative voices. Second, some scholars have questioned the utility of misinformation research altogether, arguing that misinformation is not sufficiently identifiable or widespread to warrant much concern or action. Here, we rebut these claims. We contend that the spread of misinformation—and in particular willful disinformation—is demonstrably harmful to public health,evidence-informed policymaking, and democratic processes. We also show that disinformation and outright lies can often be identified and differ from good-faith political contestation. We conclude by showing how misinformation and disinformation can be at least partially mitigated using a variety of empirically validated, rights-preserving methods that do not involve censorship.
The computational unconscious: Adaptive narrative control, psychopathology, and subjective well-being

This paper introduces the notion of adaptive narrative control, a conception of how subpersonal computational processes shape the contents of conscious experience to realize adaptive behavior. We unpack the implications of the theory for understanding the computational mechanisms underwriting psychopathology and improvements in subjective well-being associated with psychedelic therapy and meditation. The core idea of adaptive narrative control is that systems equipped with an ‘attention schema’ — a model of its own attentional states and how attentional states can be controlled — can come to anticipate not only the epistemic implications of certain attentional states, but also the pragmatic consequences, such as how certain attentional states potentiate certain affective responses. In anticipating affective states, the system is able to regulate affective states through ‘mental action’ — the endogenous control of attention. We argue that using mental action to bias the sampling of evidence to control the ‘narrative’ — the upshot of inference understood to correspond to the contents of conscious experience — allows the system to regulate affective and physiological states in ways that potentiate adaptive behavior. However, it is this adaptive capacity which gives rise to the computational mechanism — ‘avoidant mental action’, or equivalently ‘motivated inattention’ — which we argue is a core mechanism underlying psychopathology. We unpack this approach within the active inference framework to provide specification of the candidate mechanisms. We argue this conception can be used to account for the rigid belief formation characterizing ‘canalization’ and show how the decrements in subjective well-being come as a consequence of reduced recognition and categorisation of emotions (i.e., alexithymia or impaired emotional granularity). We argue that while avoidant mental action facilitates adaptive behavior, certain environmental conditions can lead it to resulting in decreased subjective well-being and psychopathology. Our account partially echoes a Freudian perspective on the function and effects of avoidant defense mechanisms like repression, and brings into view a novel computational conception of the dynamic unconscious— the ‘computational unconscious’. Finally, we explore how this conceptualisation can expand and refine the ‘REBUS’ model of psychedelic action and therapy, and explain some of the increments in subjective well-being associated with meditation.
THE DETERMINANTS OF CO2 EMISSIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF ESG MODELS AT WORLD LEVEL
Authors: Costantiello Alberto , Leogrande Angelo
Published: January 2024

We estimate the determinants of CO2 Emissions-COE in the context of Environmental, Social and Governance-ESG model at world level. We use data of the World Bank for 193 countries in the period 2011-2020. We found that the level of COE is positively associated, among others to “Methane Emissions”, “Research and Development Expenditures”, and negatively associated among others to “Renewable Energy Consumption” and “Mean Drought Index”. Furthermore, we have applied a cluster analysis with the k-Means algorithm optimized with the Elbow Method and we find the presence of four cluster. Finally, we apply eight machine-learning algorithms for the prediction of the future value of COE and we find that the Artificial Neural Network-ANN algorithm is the best predictor. The ANN predicts a reduction in the level of COE equal to 5.69% on average for the analysed countries.

In this article, we estimate the variable Ease of Doing Business-EDB in the context of Environmental, Social and Governance-ESG model. We use data from ESG World Bank dataset. We have used data from 193 countries in the period 2011-2020. The level of EDB is positively associated, among others, to “Individuals Using the Internet”, “Government Effectiveness”, “Cooling Degree Days”, and negatively associated to “Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing, Value Added”, “Forest Area” and “Strength of Legal Rights Index”. Furthermore, we have applied a cluster analysis with the application of the k-Means algorithm optimized with the Elbow Method and we have found the presence of four clusters. Finally, we have proposed a confrontation among eight different machine- learning algorithms to predict the future value of EDB. We have found that Linear Regression is the best algorithm and that the level of EDB is expected to improve of 1.66% for the analysed countries.

Authors: Auhunas Sabina
Published: January 2024

Objective. The study aims to understand the impact of descriptive metadata in academic events. It focuses on the need for analytical frameworks that take into account the characteristics of the events and the interests of the participants.Design/Methodology/Approach. The article focuses on academic event management and metadata quality based on user preferences and feedback. It conducted a survey among Ukrainian organizers and scholars between August and October 2022, analyzing the responses of 1,270 participants using descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis in RStudio.Results/Discussion. The survey showed that most (over 84%) of organizers and academics are dissatisfied with the quality of metadata, with a third rating it as very bad. Frequent errors in metadata emphasized the need for better management, including a preference for using identifiers like ORCID and DOI and a preference for open access to information about academic events.Conclusions. The results highlight the importance of developing specialized tools for metadata management and standardization of metadata elements in Ukraine to facilitate organization and participation in academic events at national and international levels.Originality/Value. The study makes an important contribution to the understanding of descriptive metadata management in academic events in Ukraine, suggesting ways to improve efficiency in this area.Keywords: academic events, conference management, descriptive metadata, Ukrainian legislation.
