Aprovechamiento de los musgos y los líquenes en el Cerro de la Muerte, Costa Rica
Authors: Chavarría-Valverde Yarenis , Gastezzi Arias Paola , Wo Ching Wong Ana Victoria
Published: September 2024

El aprovechamiento de musgos y los líquenes en el Cerro de la Muerte, Costa Rica, se realiza con frecuencia en la época navideña para su uso en portales y el resto del año como sustratos y fabricar canastas para plantas. A pesar de lo estipulado en la Ley de Conservación de Vida Silvestre y su reglamento, se da la extracción excesiva de esta vegetación, lo cual puede incidir en la disminución de sus poblaciones en ecosistemas naturales como páramos y turberas de altura, así como en potreros. Se plantea como objetivo analizar la cadena de comercialización y la forma en que los actores sociales intervienen en el uso de los musgos y líquenes para mejorar su aprovechamiento y conservación en el Cerro de la Muerte. Por medio de visitas y aplicación de entrevistas abiertas, a funcionarios del SINAC, permisionarios y comerciantes, se determinó que la venta de musgos y líquenes significa un ingreso económico importante para los pobladores de la zona, por lo que la cadena de comercialización se caracteriza por ser de “circuitos cortos de comercialización”. En concordancia con la Ley de Conservación de Vida Silvestre y su reglamento, se recomienda seguir cosechando y comercializando solo el musgo Leptodontium sp. (lana de potrero) en propiedades privadas, y no en áreas protegidas, a fin de contribuir en la conservación de este y otras especies de musgos y líquenes.

Emerging Hydrogen Energy Technology and Global Momentum
Authors:   Asian, Millison Dan , Nam Kee-Yung ,   Asian Development Bank
Published: September 2024

This paper provides an overview of the emerging hydrogen economy to help decision-makers navigate the green hydrogen value chain, understand what is required for successful implementation, and reap the potential rewards in the energy transition. Green hydrogen is a “power-to-X” business proposition based on selling molecules rather than selling electrons. The financial viability of green hydrogen production depends primarily on electrolyzer costs, local electricity input costs, specific end-use applications, and willingness of hydrogen buyers to commit to long-term offtake agreements. As global electrolyzer manufacturing capacity increases, a virtuous cycle of development may emerge.

Published: September 2024

The marketing of food products on the market especially large role is played by trade. Direct contact with the ultimate consumer, trade, gives a chance for widespread use of marketing methods. The methods and marketing strategies resulting from the sale of forms and types of units in retail and wholesale. This paper reviews the various combinations of the sale of food products, offering various opportunities for marketing activities. Retail trade, in which consumers are stocking up on food, is very developed, yet extremely diverse. There are many companies and organizations engaged in the retail sale of food and new ones are emerging. In the event of major importance to food self-service sales and sales of traditional, full-service provider of customer and dealer support. The food trade the most important are two groups of shops, i.e. shops 35 specialized and general food stores, offering a wide range of goods. Although sales dominated the market for grocery storefronts, there was also development outside the storefront sale. In highly developed countries rapidly develop modern forms of selling food products, resulting in overall sales growth outside the storefront. In the case of food, it can include the following forms of sales: market sales and bazaars, sales of agricultural food products manufacturers in their farms, and otherwise than by itinerant sales (doorstep), mail-order sale of vending machines, sale of home delivery, etc. Sales of food products directly on farms play a greater role, among others, due to the desire of consumers to buy food from a known source and the rise of the so-called healthy food. This form of supply is not without significance for increasing the vividness of the number of cars owned by individuals, which facilitates communication and transport.

Celem pracy jest przedstawienie wyników wdrażania programu rolnośrodowiskowego w południowej części województwa mazowieckiego oraz ukazanie ich ekonomicznej i ekologicznej roli. Równorzędnym zadaniem jest ukazanie pakietów, na które jest największy oraz najmniejszy popyt, jak również próba oceny zaistniałej sytuacji. Podstawą opracowania są. dane dotyczące realizacji programu rolnośrodowiskowego uzyskane z Systemu Informacji Zarządczej ARiMR w Warszawie, a sporządzone 20.04.2011 roku w Departamencie Działań Społecznych i środowiskowych. Na analizowanym terenie w latach 2008-2010 do programu rolnośrodowiskowego przystąpiło 640 rolników. Zobowiązali się. oni do realizacji łącznie 1339 wariantów rolnośrodowiskowych obejmujących powierzchnię 6243,79 ha i pozyskali w ten sposób ponad 3,5 mln zł. Spośród wszystkich pakietów największym zainteresowaniem cieszył się pakiet rolnictwo ekologiczne i z tego też tytułu beneficjenci otrzymali najwyższe płatności, stanowiące 46% całości pozyskanych .środków. W następnej kolejności rolnicy wybrali pakiet ochrona gleb i wód oraz ekstensywne trwałe użytki zielone, gdzie kwota premii środowiskowej kształtować się odpowiednio na poziomie 24% i 9% w stosunku do całkowitej kwoty płatności. Rolnictwo zrównoważone wybrało 6,5% rolników i obserwowany jest wyraźny wzrost zainteresowania tym sposobem gospodarowania. Wpływ na to ma zapewne większa wiedza i świadomość rolników odnośnie tego sposobu gospodarowania oraz wzrost płatność o 200 zł. porównując z edycję 2004- 2006. Wysokość rekompensaty jaką otrzymali rolnicy prowadzący gospodarstwa systemem zrównoważonym a 15% całkowitej kwoty pozyskanej na realizację rolnośrodowiskową w tym rejonie. Na pozostałe pakiety popyt był niewielki, co związane jest głównie z koniecznością wykonania dokumentacji przyrodniczej, pozyskaniem właściwych ras zwierząt i odmian roślin uprawnych czy niższymi płatnościami

Authors: Podstawka Marian
Published: September 2024

W artykule tym Autor poruszył problematyke związaną w racjonalizacją wydatków publicznych poprzez zarzadzanie. Jednym z instrumentów skutecznego zarządzania w sektorze finansów publicznych jest instytucja budżetu zadaniowego. Prace nad budżetem zadaniowym w Polsce rozpoczeto w 2007 r. i polegały one na opracowaniu jego struktury. W roku 2008 rozpoczęto szkolenie administracji rządowej, następnie dokonano inwentaryzacji zadań publicznych realizowanych przez państwo. Zadania te zostały podzielono na 22 Funkcje a w każdej z nich wyróżniono Zadania i Podzadania oraz Działania. Określono ich cele oraz mierniki realizacji tych celów. Z dotychczasowych polskich doświadczeń wynika, że wprowadzanie budżetu zadaniowego wiąże się z cyklicznym doskonaleniem metod i procedur pomiaru wykonania poszczególnych elementów jego struktury. Opracowanie skutecznych zasad metodologicznych oraz ich systematyczne doskonalenie jest procesem długotrwałym, a uwaga ta szczególnie odnosi się do mierników realizacji celów. Istotne znaczenie dla racjonalizacji wydatków publicznych ma także układ sektora finansów publicznych. Zdaniem Autora, niektóre podmioty (np. Lasy Państwowe) powinny zostać włączone do jego struktur i prowadzić gospodarkę finansową zgodnie z ideą budżetu zdaniowego obejmujacego dochody i wydatki

OBJECTIVE

To determine the efficacy of advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) therapy in a high-risk cohort of youth on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) with or without continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with suboptimal glycemia.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In a 6-month multicenter clinical trial, youth with type 1 diabetes with mean and most recent HbA1c >8.5% (65 mmol/mol) were randomly assigned 1:1 to AHCL or treatment as usual (CSII ± CGM). The primary outcome was the 24-week between-group difference in HbA1c. Secondary outcomes included CGM metrics from masked CGM and psychological measures (youth-reported problem areas in diabetes [PAID], quality of life, anxiety, depression, and hypoglycemia fear) assessed using validated questionnaires.

RESULTS

A total of 42 participants were randomized (mean [SD] age 16.2 [2.5] years, HbA1c 9.8 [1.1]% or 84 [12] mmol/mol, PAID score 50.3 [19.8]). At study end, the mean (SD) HbA1c was 8.8 (1.1)% or 73 (12) mmol/mol with AHCL and 9.9 (1.2)% or 85 (13.1) mmol/mol with CSII ± CGM, with mean adjusted group difference of −0.77% (95% CI −1.45 to −0.09) or −8.4 mmol/mol (−15.8 to −1.0); P = 0.027. AHCL increased time in range 70–180 mg/dL (difference 19.1%; 95% CI 11.1 to 27.1), reduced time >180 mg/dL (difference −17.7%; 95% CI −26.6 to −8.8), with no increase in time spent <70 mg/dL (difference −0.8%; 95% CI −2.7 to 0.6). There was no evidence for difference in psychosocial outcomes between the two groups at study end.

CONCLUSIONS

AHCL should be encouraged in youth with suboptimal glycemia, as AHCL improves glycemia. However, psychological support remains vital, as technology alone may not be able to reduce the burden of diabetes care in this subgroup.

GENERATION AND RECOGNITION OF FRACTAL CAMOUFLAGE STRUCTURES USING NEURAL NETWORKS
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Yunak O. , Klymash M. , Demydov I.
Published: September 2024

The paper considers a method of generating fractal camouflage structures (grids) using a randomized system of iterative functions. This method allows for changing the base structure (type of mesh), which in turn makes it possible to determine the parameters by which the object can be identified as a fractal camouflage mesh. In the mathematical description of the improved RSIF, the color range parameters (set of colors) are introduced, allowing the fractal structure to be adjusted to the colors of the landscape where the camouflage net will be applied. The choice of colors for the fractal camouflage mesh generator is a critical aspect that affects camouflage effectiveness. Using several shades that correspond to the natural colors of the environment allows for the creation of camouflage structures that are almost impossible to distinguish from real objects on the ground. This approach provides a high degree of concealment and reduces the probability of detecting camouflaged objects even with modern sensor systems. The proposed generation method will enable the formation of an array of information for neural network training. A trained neural network will be able to determine the geometric parameters of the camouflage structure. These parameters can then be used to identify an object hidden under a fractal camouflage structure. The considered generation method allows for the automation of the neural network training process, significantly speeding up the learning process and reducing the need for training data. The proposed approach significantly reduces the risk of human errors and increases the efficiency and effectiveness of military operations. The high accuracy and adaptability of fractal camouflage generated with the help of advanced RSIF and neural networks make this method promising for wide implementation in military technologies.

The article shows that one of the main purposes of projects for the development of informatization of the state is the proper provision of the necessary information to the centers of analysis and decision-making. It is important to comply with the requirements for the timeliness, reliability and security of information delivery processes. This contributes to the development of means of remote collection of information and its transmission using various technological solutions. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UNV) are in the greatest demand. However, the article shows that in practice there are factors that limit the capabilities of telecommunications equipment. Then the timeliness and reliability of information transmission will be realized only for low-level image formats. On the other hand, the procedure of information analysis, including the use of intelligent analysis, puts forward factors for the implementation of higher-level image formats on the UNV. It is clear that a contradiction arises. This contradiction concerns the inconsistency between the permissible and required levels of image formats for unmanned vehicles. Localization of such collisions is possible by reducing the information load on the basis of taking into account certain features in the description of image fragments. In spectral space, such features of fragments have the following manifestation: the presence of sequences of spectral components with a not significant deviation of the span interval. The presence of such features is a prerequisite for the construction of compression methods in the spectral-parametric description of transformants (SPDT). Therefore, the aim of the article is to develop methods for compressing images based on their spectral-parametric description, taking into account higher-order dependencies. The necessity for the formation of homogeneity spaces for the group of transformants of the general video stream for the implementation of the possibility of accounting for inter-transformant dependencies in the SPD of arrays of spectral elements is substantiated. A model for constructing homogeneity spaces (clusters) from the transformant group based on the power of the SP by the number of spectral SP has been developed. This creates the conditions for the implementation of the compression procedure with the additional removal of the amount of inter-transformant redundancy in the SPD-transformant.

The problem of building a face recognition pipeline faces numerous challenges such as changes in lighting, pose, and facial expressions. The main stages of the pipeline include detection, alignment, feature extraction, and face representation. Each of these stages is critically important for achieving accurate recognition. The article analyzes and compares modern algorithms and models for face detection and recognition in terms of their ability to correctly identify true positives (TP) and true negatives (TN) while minimizing false negatives (FN) and false positives (FP) in facial recognition. Classical algorithms and lightweight models, such as MediaPipe, offer the highest speeds but sacrifice some accuracy. Conversely, heavier models like RetinaFace deliver greater accuracy at the expense of speed. For systems prioritizing maximum detection accuracy and minimizing missed faces, models like DSFD or RetinaFace-Resnet50 are recommended, despite their slow performance and unsuitability for real-time detection. If the primary goal is maximum detection speed and occasional missed faces in uncontrolled conditions are acceptable, an SSD face recognition solution is preferable. For applications requiring a balanced approach to speed and accuracy, the RetinaFace-MobilenetV1 model is optimal in terms of real-time detection speed and satisfactory accuracy. The ArcFace model demonstrates superior performance with a TP rate of 0.92 and a TN rate of 0.91, indicating a high accuracy in both identifying the correct person and rejecting mismatched images. ArcFace also maintains a low FP rate of 0.09. FaceNet follows with a TP rate of 0.89 and an impressive TN rate of 0.94, showcasing its proficiency in avoiding incorrect matches. In contrast, VGGFace, DeepFace, and OpenFace show moderate TP rates between 0.61 and 0.78, coupled with higher FN and FP rates. The DeepID model exhibits the lowest performance, with a TP rate of 0.47 and a TN rate of 0.60, reflecting substantial difficulties in accurate identification. The conclusions emphasize the importance of selecting models based on accuracy, speed, and resource requirements, suggesting RetinaFace and ArcFace/FaceNet as good trade-off options.

Authors: A. Owaidah Abrar
Published: September 2024

This research study aimed to investigate how and what are the affective factors, main challenges, and recommendations among Saudi female EFL students in developing emotional intelligence for learning English. The study used a survey questionnaire to collect data from 80 participants, which were then analyzed using statistical methods. The results showed that higher levels of EI were positively correlated with better English language proficiency. The study also found that certain affective factors, such as empathy, self-awareness, and emotional regulation, were particularly important in predicting ELL outcomes. The different affective factors are assessed on different grading scales. Considering the statistical analysis, it could be determined that factors related to the English language, such as social skills, motivation (both intrinsic and extrinsic), emotional regulation, effective communication, empathy, self-confidence, self- and cultural awareness, and resilience, have a positive and affirmative influence on the beliefs of English language learners. On the other hand, when analyzing the main challenges faced by Saudi female EFL students in developing emotional intelligence for learning English a majority of students favored that it is challenging to use EI to manage stress and emotions while learning a second language. Therefore, cultivating EL could maintain motivation and enthusiasm for learning English. The study pointed out that learning a second language is a challenging task, and it becomes even more difficult when one has to navigate and adapt to cultural differences. The study strongly favored the integration of the affective factors in teaching as well. Research suggested that a supportive and encouraging environment, positive feedback and constructive criticism could enhance the EI of Saudi female EFL students learning English. With the use of EI, students felt supported and encouraged, and they were more likely to feel confident in their abilities and take risks in their language learning.

Aligning market demands with the knowledge, competencies, and skills provided by higher education is a significant challenge and often falls primarily on the shoulders of educators. This study aims to explore the concept of inclusive AI learning design and its intersection with the integration of the 6Cs framework in higher education. In other words, it delves into the multifaceted role of Artificial Intelligence in the classroom, focusing primarily on the integration of the 6Cs (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, character education/ connectivity, and culture/ citizenship) in Moroccan higher education institutions, Artificial Intelligence literacy, and the cultivation of digital humanities techniques. The main research question guiding the study was “How to integrate the 6Cs at the tertiary level using inclusive Artificial Intelligence learning design? ». The study held significance in contributing to the existing literature by providing new insights and filling gaps in knowledge. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher relied on an exploratory descriptive approach through an interview and a self-developed questionnaire involving 15 ESP teachers. The results indicated that teachers face several challenges when integrating the 6C of 21st-century education into ESP classes, including engineering students’ low motivation, difficulties in combining multiple competencies, limitations in teaching materials, and time management issues. Hence, establishing a framework for inclusive Artificial Intelligence learning design that encompasses the 6 Cs is compulsory.

In the information age, traditional teaching methods are replaced by blended learning, which integrates online and offline instruction. This approach has gained prominence, particularly in higher education, and is being explored for English as a Foreign Language in Chinese private colleges. This study examines the implementation and effectiveness of blended learning for English as a Foreign Language in Chinese private colleges. Through surveys of five English as a Foreign Language teachers, the research reveals that while blended learning is widely adopted, the proportion of online to offline components varies, influenced by teachers’ perceptions, resource limitations, and institutional training. Student evaluations through the questionnaire show strong acceptance, with students appreciating the interactive and engaging nature of blended learning. The findings suggest that improving teacher training and continuously updating resources could further enhance the effectiveness of blended learning, ultimately helping to bridge the gap between assigned and actual online learning while significantly improving English proficiency. The study underscores the importance of blended learning in modern EFL education and offers strategic recommendations for optimizing its impact in Chinese private colleges.
La Inquisición romana en el seno de la sociedad. Los familiares del tribunal eclesiástico entre privilegios, conflictos e indisciplina (siglos XVI-XVIII)
Authors: Solera Dennj
Published: September 2024

El ensayo pretende investigar un tema hasta ahora descuidado por los historiadores, a saber, el extenso y problemático personal que sirvió a la Inquisición romana en Italia y a los tribunales de fe activos en otros lugares durante tres siglos. La metodología empleada ha sido doble, inspirándose tanto en los estudios religioso-institucionales como en los de historia social. La amplia indagación documental realizada en los archivos vaticanos e italianos ha permitido reconstruir los principales rasgos de la familia inquisitorial italiana, observar su evolución en el tiempo, su distinta geografía y la variación de las relaciones que a través de ella estableció la Iglesia pontificia con las élites culturales y políticas de Italia durante el antiguo régimen. Ello ha permitido llegar a importantes consideraciones históricas, que insisten en un fenómeno hasta ahora investigado en otros frentes, como las relaciones entre la Iglesia de la Contrarreforma y los fieles entre los siglos XVI y XVIII. El sistema de patentes permitió al ala más intransigente de la Iglesia entablar una relación de protección y connivencia con miles de notables violentos, que a cambio garantizaron apoyo intelectual, material y político a las jerarquías eclesiásticas de la península hasta el Risorgimento italiano.

OBJECTIVE

To understand antimicrobial stewardship (AS) and infection prevention and control (IPC) activities in veterinary schools.

METHODS

An online survey was completed by representatives from American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges–accredited veterinary schools in the US and Caribbean prior to attending the Inaugural Small Animal Antimicrobial Stewardship Workshop for US Veterinary Schools. Responses were examined to identify patterns among AS and IPC activities and adherence to the AVMA core principles.

RESULTS

Half (12 of 24) of the surveyed schools had an AS committee and most (79% [19 of 24]) had an IPC committee. Lack of dedicated staff time was a common barrier to AS (88% [21 of 24]) and IPC (75% [18 of 24]) reported by schools both with and without AS and IPC committees. Eleven of 24 schools (46%) reported performing at least 1 activity focused on each of the AVMA’s 5 core principles of AS. Although 79% (19 of 24) of schools incorporate AS into preclinical curricula, training of clinical faculty (17% [4 of 24]), veterinary technicians and support staff (21% [5 of 24]), and house officers (42% [10 of 24]) is less common, despite these individuals engaging in teaching clinical-year veterinary students.

CONCLUSIONS

Veterinary schools varied in established AS education and AS and IPC practices, though financial and human resources were a common barrier.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

A collaborative and cohesive approach to AS and IPC among schools to create sustainable frameworks for practice improvement will help combat the global threat of antimicrobial resistance. This is a critical action for settings where future veterinarians are trained.

ABSTRACT
 
Pediculosis capitis is an infection that occurs on the human scalp due to an infestation of Pediculus humanus capitis. Pediculosis is characterized by itching on the scalp, in school-age children the infestation of Pediculus humanus capitis has a negative impact on children's learning activities and has the potential to interfere with learning achievement. This study aims to determine whether personal hygiene and knowledge have a relationship with the incidence of pediculosis in elementary school children in Nusa Penida. This study uses an analytic observational study with a Cross Sectional study with univariate analysis techniques and bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test, this study used a sample of 100 samples taken from SD Negeri 2 Ped and SD Negeri 4 Ped, data collection was carried out by using a questionnaire regarding personal hygiene behavior and knowledge of pediculosis and the incidence of pediculosis in research respondents. In this study it was found that out of 100 respondents, 44% had poor personal hygiene, 41% had poor knowledge and 65% experienced pediculosis which is a high number because it exceeds 50%, from this study it was found that personal hygiene had a significant relationship with the incidence of pediculosis (p-value 0.002 and RP = 1.580), and knowledge about pediculosis has a relationship with the incidence of pediculosis (p-value 0.002 and RP = 1.578). So it can be seen that personal hygiene and knowledge about pediculosis is one of the risk factors for the incidence of pediculosis in elementary school children in Nusa Penida.

Stunting in toddlers is a global problem. Stunting can arise because of different factors associated with the growth and development process and chronic malnutrition within the long time that takes place for the duration of the 1.000 First Days of Life (HPK). Stunted toddlers have a lower length or height when compared to their peers and result in non-optimal development of cognitive, motor, and verbal. This observe to decide the connection among anemia in mothers while pregnant with the occurrence of stunting in toddlers withinside the stunting locus location of North Lombok Regency. This studies with a type of analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The subjects of the study were mothers who had toddlers aged 0-24 months totaling 106 respondents in the Stunting Locus of North Lombok Regency which was carried out using stratified random sampling techniques. Data collection obtained from the Maternal and Child Health book (KIA) and a questionnaire with bivariate data analysis using the chi square test. The consequences confirmed that there were 28.3% of mothers who experienced anemia while pregnant and 50.9% of stunting toddlers in the Stunting Locus of North Lombok Regency. The results of the bivariate test using the chi-square method obtained a p value of 0.459 (p>0.05) which confirmed that there was no significant relationship among anemia in mothers while pregnant and the occurrence of stunting in toddlers withinside the stunting locus of North Lombok Regency.
