Mastering English Compounds by Saudi learners
Authors: Alqahtani Salma Musleh
Published: June 2024

This study sought to investigate the acquisition of English compounds among Saudi EFL learners. The focus was on the comprehension of particular compound types, specifically subordinative, attributive, and coordinative compounds, by considering the concepts of endocentricity and exocentricity. The sample involved 236 Saudi female students. The data was gathered by using a questionnaire in which the participants were instructed to provide the meaning of 24 compounds without relying on a dictionary. The results reveal that 75% of the responses were accurate. This implies that Saudi EFL learners may have a sufficient grasp of English compounds. The findings indicate that the learners performed better in endocentric compounds compared to exocentric compounds. The findings showed that the learners had a higher level of mastery of subordinative and attributive endocentric compounds, followed by coordinative compounds. This is attributed to the transparency of meaning for endocentric compounds.

O câncer de colo de útero (CCU), também conhecido como câncer cervical, é uma condição patológica que consiste no crescimento anormal e descontrolado de células no tecido epitelial do colo do útero.  Este artigo é um estudo descritivo que visa abordar dados sobre a incidência e mortalidade por CCU fundamentado na coleta de informações na base de dados informatizada do Ministério da Saúde (DATASUS – Epidemiológicas e Morbidade- Estatísticas Vitais, a partir de 2018) e pesquisas nas bases de dados SCIELO, PubMed e LILACS.  No ano de 2018, na região norte, ocorreram 880 óbitos por CCU, representando cerca de 2,7% do total geral de mortes entre mulheres na região. O controle do câncer de colo de útero no Brasil, é considerado um dos principais dilemas da APS, em razão da assistência prestada e as ações desenvolvidas para esse público serem limitadas por inúmeros obstáculos, dificultando a atuação qualificada desse nível de atenção.  Em vista dessa condição, se torna evidente a necessidade implantação de programas voltados para o sentido educativo, sugerindo as práticas de educação em saúde individual e coletiva como o principal meio de promoção da saúde, a fim de desconstruir saberes e percepções equivocadas que as mulheres têm acerca do exame e viabilizar a informação sobre a proposta assistencial da APS.
Aspectos legais da conservação do solo e da água no Brasil
Authors: Sobires Paulo Dias , Fernandes Gabriel Henrique Aguilar , Santos Matheus Almeida de Campos , Oliveira Manoela Hoffmann , Neto Gustavo Klinke , Oliveira Anna Hoffmann
Published: June 2024

O solo é um recurso não renovável de alta importância cujo uso incorreto, inclusive na produção agropecuária, torna insustentável o seu satisfatório desempenho em importante serviços ambientais. A água sofre do mesmo problema, pois apesar da quantidade disponível para o consumo ser uma porcentagem ínfima do total, é continuamente ameaçada pelo uso indevido e contaminações. A conservação desses recursos naturais no Brasil dispõe, entretanto, de um aparato legal representado pelas Leis nº 12.651/2012 e 9.433/97. Assim, este trabalho objetivou apresentar e discutir as políticas públicas que afetam a conservação de água e solo no Brasil, bem como sua eficácia e aplicações práticas dos fundamentos legais. As ações previstas nas Leis nº 9.433/97 e 12.651/2012 representam um instrumento legal robusto e moderno, especialmente no caso da primeira, mas sua contribuição efetiva na conservação do solo e da água depende intrinsecamente da fiscalização quanto ao seu cumprimento. Tal adequação seria capaz de suprir, em grande parte, a lacuna nacional relativa à governança do solo e, consequentemente, ao sistema de conservação da água, alcançando de fato resultados mais efetivos e duradouros.

One of the pillars of the 5 pillars of the Grand Design for Population Development  in Indonesia is the improvement of population quality. In the effort to enhance pop- ulation quality, one of the pathways that can be taken is to reduce the prevalence of stunting in all regions of Indonesia. Data shows that the lowest stunting prevalence is in Bali Province, but among the regencies/cities within it, Karangasem Regency has the highest prevalence of stunting, making its acceleration a matter of great importance. The objectives of this community  service activity are: 1) to evaluate    the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to stunting among young mothers, pregnant women, families with stunted children, integrated health post (Posyandu) cadres, and community leaders in Abang Village after providing Communication, Information, and Education (CIE) on caregiving, the adverse effects of stunting, demographic bonuses, and being Foster Parents for Stunted Children; 2) to enhance the roles of relevant stakeholders in the effort to prevent and reduce stunting in the village. This activity was conducted in Abang Village, Abang District, Karangasem Regency. Karangasem Regency was chosen as the location of the activity because it has the highest prevalence of stunting in Bali Province. The method of the activity involved providing CIE (Communication, Information, and Education) on stunting delivered by two speakers, a pediatrician, and an academic from a university. After the CIE, an evaluation of the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) of the par- ticipants was carried out, and the results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The analysis results show: 1) knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding stunting vary greatly among all stakeholders, where, in general, most of them have heard about stunting but do not yet understand their roles in preventing/reducing stunt- ing; 2) an increase in the roles of stakeholders in the effort to prevent and reduce stunting through improved attitudes and future practices they will engage in to prevent and reduce stunting.
O pojęciach abstrakcyjnych oraz zagrożeniach wynikających z ich nadużywania
Authors: Najman Michał Tadeusz
Published: June 2024

Language is the primary form of communication. Its role encompasses both the description of real reality and the definition of certain materially non-existent states. With social development, the burden of discourse is increasingly shifting from the physical to the metaphysical realm. Language becomes a tool for creating reality. The emergence of any concept serves to create a linguistic reality that facilitates understanding of the surrounding reality. In the case of abstract concepts, the creative function of language is particularly important. We can distinguish concepts that by their extensiveness include components of real states, such as love, evil, good. However, there are concepts whose creation was dictated only by the desire to justify the institution, such as dignity. Abstract concepts perform many social functions. Such a wide participation of abstract concepts in key areas of social life poses numerous threats to community functioning, development and peace, including by inhibiting scientific progress, ossification of institutional structures or breakdown of social ties. The purpose of the article is to raise awareness of the essence of given concepts in society and on the necessity of limiting the use of these concepts in key spheres of social life, such as law, politics and economics.
Analysis of fillet weld leg length in a low-carbon steel
Authors: Ghazvinloo H.R.
Published: June 2024

The present article analysed the effect of MAG welding parameters (arc voltage-AV, wire feeding speed-WFS, and welding speed-WS) on fillet weld leg length (FWLL) in low-carbon steel S235JR.In the research, the Taguchi L8 orthogonal array was used to design experiments. The eight experimental experiments were designed based on the Taguchi method, and the average FWLL was measured in each experiment. The analysis of means (ANOM) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques were used to analyse FWLL.The highest F-value in ANOVA analysis (96.08) confirmed that the welding speed is the most effective parameter on the response (with a per cent contribution of 92.24%), followed by wire feeding speed and arc voltage, with an F-value of 2.82 and 1.25, respectively.The research was focused on MAG welding as a common process used in different industries. Future studies could consider the effect of parameters on fillet weld leg length in other arc welding processes. Due to its many applications in various industries, the low-carbon steel S235JR plate was chosen as the base material, while other steels can be used for future studies.The findings of the present study have significant practical implications for the welding industry. The design of welding joints is a very important part of the design of metal structures. A weld bead with correct and optimal sizes is desirable and accepted in the design of metal structures. The findings of the present study can be used in the optimal design of fillet welds for low-carbon steel.As far as we know, there is relatively little information on the proper balance of fillet weld leg length in low-carbon steels. Therefore, the research results can be used in the appropriate design of welding joints for low-carbon steels.

In this paper, we present an enhanced spectral correction for the DMDY conjugate gradient method. Our approach involves integrating a third term and determining its parameter through three different approaches. The primary objective is to ensure the sufficient descent condition. By applying the Wolfe line search conditions, we establish the global convergence property for all three proposed algorithms. Numerical tests conclusively demonstrate the superior efficiency of our algorithms, surpassing that of existing methods.
Presencia y Aceptación de los Movimientos Regionales en el Sur del País y su Potencial Secesionista
Authors: Rodríguez Urbina Francisco Clemente
Published: June 2024

¿Tienen los grupos regionales del sur peruano algún vínculo con aquellos sectores que abiertamente buscan la separación del Perú? ¿Cuál es el potencial de estos últimos para alcanzar sus objetivos? El artículo examinará la presencia, aceptación y capacidad de expansión de los partidos regionales, así como su atribuido potencial secesionista. Se toman como caso de estudio las elecciones de octubre de 2022 y las protestas ocurridas a finales de ese mismo año, ya que ambos eventos están asociados directa o indirectamente con este tipo de agrupaciones. Se concluye que entre los sectores regionales no hay una única agenda y no están necesariamente vinculados a aspiraciones secesionistas, salvo en el caso de Arequipa. Actualmente, los grupos secesionistas se encuentran en una etapa emergente y no agrupan a amplios sectores de la población. Además, carecen de apoyo extranjero, un factor crucial para su éxito. No obstante, existe un terreno fértil para su crecimiento, debido a la crisis política y a la desatención del gobierno central.
Argentina: Retos de Seguridad y Respuesta del Gobierno
Authors: Ellis Robert Evan
Published: June 2024

Argentina se enfrenta a una profunda crisis económica y a graves problemas de seguridad. Entre ellos, la utilización del país como zona de tránsito para el tráfico de drogas, incluida la cocaína procedente de Bolivia y Perú con destino a Europa, y la marihuana originaria de Paraguay. Estas actividades delictivas han provocado violentas luchas entre grupos por las rutas de transporte en centros logísticos como Rosario. El país también se enfrenta a los efectos secundarios de dicho narcotráfico, como la adición al subproducto de la cocaína “paco”, la nueva droga sintética “Tussi” y un creciente problema de consumo de fentanilo, así como a la inseguridad ciudadana acelerada por el aumento de las tasas de pobreza y desempleo. Además, Argentina afronta posibles amenazas terroristas por parte de Hezbolá Islámico y, en menor medida, del grupo marginal indígena Resistencia Ancestral Mapuche (RAM). Y combate el agotamiento de los recursos marítimos ocasionada por la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada (INDNR). Adicionalmente, las fuerzas de seguridad deben proporcionar apoyo logístico y de otro tipo al Sector Antártico Argentino, de importancia estratégica, y a la reclamación de las Malvinas, consagrada constitucionalmente, y deben considerar la posible explotación en tiempos de guerra del territorio argentino, a través del acceso por China a instalaciones espaciales y marítimas de doble uso. A la hora de abordar los retos en materia de seguridad, el nuevo gobierno libertario de Javier Milei ha nombrado a un ministro de Seguridad Nacional con experiencia y a un ministro de Defensa capaz. Juntos, compensarán una generación de infrafinanciación y limitaciones del papel de las Fuerzas Armadas que se generaron durante la gestión de gobiernos peronistas anteriores, a pesar de la actual crisis presupuestaria. En materia de seguridad, como en otros asuntos, el gobierno de Milei se ha alejado del coqueteo con la República Popular China (RPC) en materia de adquisiciones de defensa y otros compromisos, y está trabajando estrechamente con Estados Unidos (EE. UU.) y otros aliados occidentales para conseguir nuevos sistemas y capacidades, y ampliar la cooperación en lo que respecta a la seguridad.

O presente trabalho tem como tema a análise da educação como mecanismo de controle biopolítico dos corpos e do saber, a partir dos discursos acerca da educação sexual e reprodutiva. Observar os impactos e desdobramentos na educação brasileira no que tange às temáticas referidas durante os anos e como a sua (não) abordagem nas escolas reitera e não desconstrói padrões, estereótipos e violências de gênero. Cabe uma análise aprofundada de que tipo de educação se está produzindo, com quais vieses e a partir de quais perspectivas, tendo em vista a inevitável influencia patriarcal na sociedade. O tema reflete a necessidade de compreender o papel da educação na construção do indivíduo e como essa educação pode ser utilizada como mecanismo de controle, que tem o poder de reforçar ou romper com padrões socialmente impostos quanto às temáticas de gênero e educação sexual na adolescência. A metodologia do trabalho consistiu em pesquisas bibliográficas realizadas através de abordagens hipotético-dedutivas.

Published: June 2024

Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) has revolutionized coronary artery disease diagnosis and treatment with its high-resolution and non-invasive advantages. Precision in coronary artery segmentation is critical for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. In this study, we introduce an innovative two-stage approach utilizing fully convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for coronary artery segmentation.

Published: June 2024

This study investigates the impact of accounting students' knowledge of professional ethics on their ethical perceptions, with the moderating variable of the love of money. The study employs SmartPLS software and focuses on accounting students from the 2018 to 2020 classes at various state and private campuses in East Jakarta. The research sample comprises 96 participants who completed a questionnaire distributed online via Google Forms. The findings indicate that while knowledge of professional ethics does not predict ethical perceptions, a God Locus of Control does have a positive effect. Also, Love Of Money was not found to moderate ethical knowledge, but God's Locus of Control impacts ethical perceptions. These results suggest that accounting students must strengthen their knowledge of professional ethics, understand God's Locus of Control, and avoid excessive love of money to become successful and integrated accountants.

AutoML Insights: Gaining Confidence to Operationalize Predictive Models
Authors: Stoica Florin , Florentina Stoica Laura
Published: June 2024

Automated machine learning (AutoML) tools empower organizations to unlock valuable new business insights, integrate advanced AI capabilities into applications, and enable both data scientists and non-technical experts to swiftly build predictive models. Complex models generated by AutoML can appear to operate as “black boxes.” This lack of transparency can be a major disadvantage in relation to compliance with the legislation (e.g., European Union regulations implementing a “right to explanation” of algorithmic decisions provided by artificial intelligence systems). Furthermore, in many applications one must not trust a black-box system by default. We approach the problem of confidence in models generated using AutoML frameworks in two areas: model explanation and model validation, respectively. To gain confidence in the results provided by the machine learning models provided by the AutoML pipelines, we propose a model-agnostic approach based on SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) values for the interpretability of these models, from a global and local perspective. We conducted a comparative analysis of three AutoML frameworks, examining their architectures and practical aspects, which aims at transparency in the generation of automatic learning models. Transparent model generation helps stakeholders understand how models are created, leading to greater confidence in their reliability and suitability for deployment in real-world scenarios.
Monitoring of Irrigated Lands of the Hissar Valley of the Republic of Tajikistan
Authors: Nozim Numonovich Aliev
Published: June 2024

Most of the territory of the Republic of Tajikistan (93%) is occupied by mountain ranges and only 7% of the territory is lands suitable for agriculture. In this regard, the population density is very high and amounts to 60 people per 1 square kilometer of the area. The population at the beginning of 2019 was 5.3 million people, and in 2021, it was 9,537,645 people, an increase of about 80%. The demographic situation, the lack of suitable land for agriculture leads to the violation of the ecological balance that has developed in the last 30 years in Tajikistan, including on irrigated lands, which led to a decrease in crop yields by 1.5–2.0 times. One of the reasons for the decrease in productivity is the irrational use of land resources and anthropogenic impacts on reclamation lands. The intensification of the use of agricultural lands leads to their degradation, the development of desertification; a special place is occupied by irrigated lands, the problems of their conservation and improvement of their condition. The solution of these problems is based on objective and up-to-date information about the state and use of irrigated lands, as well as timely and reliable information received. In this regard, there is a need to identify and assess the existing environmental and socio-economic problems in the use of reclamation lands, the timely reconstruction of reclamation systems, the development of ways to solve the identified problems, as well as the development of methodological recommendations to justify the effectiveness of the implementation of state agricultural land management programs, taking into account regional characteristics. The existing information on the state and use of agricultural lands is contained in various organizations, is fragmented, of different scales and of different information. To use such information, it is necessary to transform it, which can lead to a significant loss of information, a decrease in its accuracy, and, consequently, its reliability. Modern geoformation technologies using remote sensing methods of the Earth at the present time can significantly improve the quality of research conducted when monitoring irrigated lands. In this regard, monitoring, analysis, assessment and forecasting of the ameliorative state of irrigated lands of the Republic of Tajikistan, and their conservation based on the development of criteria for environmental and socio-economic assessment of the use of reclaimed lands and the development of recommendations for the reconstruction of melioration systems based on the use modern geoinformation technologies and the use of aerospace images is relevant.

Published: June 2024

Aquaculture is one of the fastest food-producing sectors contributing half of the food fish destined for human consumption. Nevertheless, aquaculture production still needs to increase to fill the gap in supply and demand for fish, as the capture fisheries are stagnating over the years. Therefore, intensification of aquaculture production systems by increasing inputs such as feed has been devised as an alternative. On the other hand, intensive aquaculture has been associated with concerns related to environmental pollution in the past decades. Moreover, the increased cost of feed ingredients for aquaculture species has hampered the intensification of the sector. Therefore, alternative production systems such as biofloc technology were developed to mitigate the environmental impacts of intensive aquaculture and also to produce extra feed for cultured organisms. Due to their omnivorous feeding habit and tolerance to higher levels of suspended solids, freshwater finfishes have been the most cultured species in this system. The organic carbon sources used in the biofloc system are agricultural and industrial by-products which are cheap and readily available, making the technology economically feasible. C:N ratios of 10, 15, and 20 have been the most applied C:N ratios in the culture of freshwater aquaculture finfishes covered in this review.

Published: June 2024

Climate change poses significant threats to agriculture, including food security, livelihoods and economic growth. Based on the importance of cocoa, there is a need for sustainable crop production and resilience to anticipated changes in rainfall and temperature in the future. Irrigation is an important climate-smart practice for alleviating abiotic stress and enhancing crop productivity, and irrigation is seldom practiced in the cacao orchards of West Africa. Studies were conducted to examine the effects of dry season gravity drip irrigation on the rootzone moisture, tree water use (evapotranspiration), leaf area index and yield of cacao in a rainforest zone of Nigeria. Irrigation treatments were based on water application at 5- and 10-day intervals and 50, 70 and 100% Pan evaporation, which was applied using point source emitters on drip lines. The soil moisture content, photosynthetic active radiation, leaf area index and extinction coefficient differed among the irrigation treatments. Deficit irrigation (10-day and 50% EPan) enhanced water use efficiency by 25–44% (30 and 50% water savings), while full irrigation enhanced soil moisture, cacao ET, and pod and bean yields. This study established irrigation and water requirements for cacao in the dry season and confirmed the relevance of irrigation for enhanced cacao performance and climate mitigation.
