EARLY PREDICTION OF LOWBIRTH WEIGHT CASES USING ML
Authors: M KANTESH ,   Department of MCA, BIET, Davangere, G L Mr. VINAY PATEL
Published: July 2024

This work aims to predict, from a variety of user inputs, whether a baby will be born healthy or underweight. Taking into account characteristics including parental health, ethnicity, educational background, and region—all of which have an impact on healthcare accessibility and environmental factors—the study acknowledges the significance of birth weight in relation to gestational age. Through the examination of extensive datasets containing these lifestyle and demographic characteristics, health care providers can improve prenatal care and interventions, concentrating more carefully on populations that are at risk. With the help of user-supplied data, this prediction tool provides a probabilistic estimate of birth weight outcomes, giving parents and medical professionals peace of mind and assistance. Keyword: Low Birth weight (LBW), Smart health informatics, Machine Learning (ML).
Experimental Investigation on the Performance Analysis Domestic Refrigeration Using Eco Friendly R290 & R600a Refrigerant
Authors: Periyasamy Prof.M. , Mohan D.Jagan
Published: July 2024

In residential refrigerators, R134a is the most often used refrigerant. The Kyoto Protocol requires that it be phased out as soon as possible because to its high global warming potential (GWP) of 1300. In the current study, a 200l single evaporator home refrigerator using a hydrocarbon refrigerant combination (made up of R290 and R600a in a weight ratio of 45.2:54.8) has been used as an alternative to R134a. While cycling running (ON/OFF) testing were only conducted at 32 ◦C ambient temperature, continuous running tests were conducted at various ambient temperatures (24, 28, 32, 38, and 43 ◦C). The hydrocarbon mixture was found to have a 3.25–3.6% higher coefficient of performance (COP) and lower values of energy consumption, draw down time, and ON time ratio by around 11.1%, 11.6%, and 13.2%, respectively. It was discovered that the hydrocarbon mixture's discharge temperature was between 8.5 and 13.4 K lower than R134a's. Overall performance has demonstrated that the hydrocarbon refrigerant mixture mentioned above may be the most suitable long-term replacement for R134a as it phases out.

El humor en El palacio de la risa: parodia y crítica social en la televisión argentina de los años 1990
Authors: Suárez Marina , Salas Tonello Pablo
Published: July 2024

La televisión se constituyó en el dispositivo comunicacional de mayor importancia en los años 1990, al llegar a todos los hogares de clase media y ocupar un rol preponderante en la elaboración de sentidos sociales compartidos. El objetivo de este artículo es indagar distintas dimensiones y sentidos del humor en El palacio de la risa, programa humorístico de gran relevancia conducido por Antonio Gasalla entre 1992 y 1996 y transmitido por ATC y Canal 13, en Argentina. Nos enfocaremos en los números protagonizados por los actores Alejandro Urdapilleta y Humberto Tortonese, quienes, junto a Gasalla, introducen importantes innovaciones en la producción humorística televisiva. En la primera sección, analizaremos qué elementos del teatro underground de los años 1980 son recuperados y puestos en juego en la propuesta televisiva. A continuación, se examinarán tres dimensiones que funcionan como materia prima para la producción humorística del trío: la crítica a las clases dominantes argentinas, la tensión entre sexualidades dominantes y disidentes, y las menciones paródicas realizadas sobre la propia televisión. En cuanto a la metodología, el trabajo fue realizado en base a un análisis de 30 sketches del trío Urdapilleta-Gasalla-Tortonese, registrando temas, aspectos estéticos, gestualidad corporal y usos discursivos. En suma, el trabajo realiza una contribución al conocimiento de la cultura de masas y las posibilidades paródicas y de desestabilización del sentido común de la televisión durante los años 1990 en Argentina.
Tomar el juego en serio más allá de las prácticas humanas: normatividad y juego social en animales
Authors: Sanchez María Ayelén , Regues Juana
Published: July 2024

La tradición filosófica ha caracterizado el fenómeno de la normatividad, esto es, la capacidad de actuar según normas, como una capacidad exclusiva del ser humano. En contraposición, dicha tradición ha considerado que el comportamiento de los animales no humanos se reduce a meras respuestas al entorno, relegando su actividad al ámbito del instinto y la supervivencia. Sin embargo, los avances realizados a partir del siglo XX en el campo de la etología permiten cuestionar esta caracterización. El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar la existencia de aspectos normativos presentes en un tipo de comportamiento observado en diversas especies: el juego social. Realizaremos un análisis conceptual y una revisión crítica de la literatura filosófica y de los resultados reportados por la evidencia empírica relativa al juego social. A partir de una reconstrucción del concepto de “práctica” desarrollado por Rawls (1955), intentaremos mostrar que el juego social presenta características normativas que nos habilitan a extender la noción de práctica más allá de nuestra propia especie. Nuestro principal argumento presenta la siguiente estructura: (1) toda práctica supone, necesariamente, normatividad; (2) el juego social en animales presenta ciertas características estructurales por las cuales resulta pertinente describirlo como un tipo de práctica; y, por lo tanto, (3) la tesis de que ciertas especies de animales no humanos exhiben un comportamiento normativo es, al menos, plausible y merece ser considerada seriamente.
Hacia nuevas relaciones entre humanos y animales: una aproximación sociológica a los discursos y significados de cinco activistas veganos por la liberación animal en la ciudad de Iquique, Chile
Authors: Rodríguez Cáceres Víctor Manuel
Published: July 2024

La siguiente investigación aborda los fenómenos del veganismo y el activismo por la liberación animal, entendiendo a ambos como formas de resistencia y oposición al especismo y la dominación que ejerce el ser humano hacia los otros animales. Corresponde a un trabajo que se aproxima desde la sociología a lo que académicamente se ha denominado como la “cuestión animal”. Al respecto, lo que se buscó fue profundizar en los discursos y significados que emanan de la experiencia cotidiana de los activistas veganos, y de sus experiencias en tanto activistas por la liberación animal. Sobre lo metodológico, se deben mencionar el carácter exploratorio de la investigación y su diseño fenomenológico-interpretativo. La muestra corresponde a cinco sujetos activistas veganos aspirantes a la liberación animal residentes en la ciudad de Iquique, Chile. La recolección de datos fue a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas, mientras que el análisis se realizó mediante teoría fundamentada. La principal conclusión de la investigación fue que los discursos y significados de los activistas veganos son heterogéneos. Sin embargo, y pese a eso, se pueden encontrar algunos discursos y significados comunes; por ejemplo, sobre la imposibilidad de abandonar el veganismo o respecto del veganismo como motor de la liberación animal.

Moeilijke juristentaal (II)

Juristen schrijven onnodig moeilijk. De auteurs signaleerden dit verschijnsel al in een eerder artikel en besteedden in dat artikel specifiek aandacht aan het gebruik van moeilijke woorden. In dit vervolgartikel wordt het onderwerp moeilijke juristentaal verder uitgediept.

In het artikel worden enkele rechtsvergelijkende kanttekeningen gemaakt, waarbij met name naar de Angelsaksische landen (common law) wordt gekeken.

Verder wordt ingegaan op de discussie over hoe toegankelijker geschreven kan worden. Onderwerpen die daarbij aan de orde komen zijn onder meer ‘doelgroep en genre’ en factoren die van belang zijn voor begrijpelijkheid.

Het voordeel van meer direct taalgebruik wordt benadrukt. Toegankelijk schrijven hoeft niet te leiden tot jip-en-janneketaal en (zelfs) Latijn hoeft niet in de ban. Duidelijk kan ook juridisch beter zijn.

In de laatste paragraaf worden enkele voorbeelden van onduidelijke procestaal in procedures bij het Gemeenschappelijk Hof van Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten en Bonaire, Sint Eustatius en Saba weergegeven. Bepleit wordt de hele procedure in samenhang onder de loep te nemen en waar mogelijk tot een meer begrijpelijk taalgebruik te komen. De discussie over (proces)taal moet in brede kring worden gevoerd, waarbij het bestuur van het Gemeenschappelijk Hof het voortouw zou kunnen nemen.

De verschoonbaarheid van de termijnoverschrijding: nieuwe jurisprudentiële rechtsregels

In deze annotatie worden twee bestuursrechtelijke uitspraken van het Gemeenschappelijk Hof van Justitie besproken waarin de oprekking van de verschoonbaarheid van de termijnoverschrijding centraal staat. Het Hof geeft in beide uitspraken aan de nieuwe jurisprudentielijn te volgen die het College van Beroep voor het bedrijfsleven, een van de hoogste bestuursrechters in Nederland, onlangs in een uitspraak heeft uiteengezet. Uit de uitspraken blijkt, aldus de auteurs, dat het niet eenvoudig is om de nieuwe lijn in de concrete situatie rechtvaardig en overtuigend toe te passen. De auteurs betogen onderbouwd dat het Hof daarin in beide uitspraken nog niet is geslaagd.

Authors: Huyen Nguyen Thi Thu ,   Department of Applied Linguistics, International School, Vietnam National University, Hanoi
Published: July 2024

Flipped classroom, or inverted classroom is a teaching approach in which new content can be learned at home with the support of digital materials sent by teachers and homework can be done in class through discussion and group work activities. This mode of teaching has been being implemented quite widely in the world, but it has only been paid a lot of attention in Vietnam recently. The present study investigates the application of flipped classroom model in teaching English for Academic purposes (EAP) for undergraduate students at International School, Vietnam National University (IS-VNU). An action research to implement flipped classroom model in teaching EAP was carried out in a class of 21 sophomores at VNU-IS. Findings indicate that there is an improvement in class time management and VNU-IS students’ involvement in EAP educational process. Besides, based on results of questionnaires and observation, students and teacher alike have the positive perceptions of flipped learning applied in EAP course. It is therefore concluded that flipped classroom mode will possibly be a complementary method in delivering EAP lessons at IS-VNU. The study also points out some recommendations for better implementation of flipped classroom in further researches.
Verbosity and Politeness: External Mitigation of Request Speech Acts in Australian English and Iraqi Arabic
Authors: Aldhulaee Mohammed Tahir ,   Department of Social Sciences
Published: July 2024

This paper examines external modifiers that Australian English native speakers and Iraqi Arabic native speakers use to soften the force of request speech acts in everyday situations. Request samples were collected by means of role-play interview and external devices employed to mitigate the request acts were identified and classified using a framework based on CCSARP model. The results showed that external mitigating devices were pervasive in requests from both groups. The two groups have also been found to use different semantic formulae of some mitigating devices in specific situations. The occurrence of external mitigators in both groups’ requests is discussed in terms of verbosity as a politeness strategy. It is also suggested that the divergence between the two groups in their utilisation of request mitigations is related to cultural variations between the Australian and Iraqi cultures.

Published: July 2024

Supply chain management (SCM) makes positive contributions to financial performance, although there has been little research on bibliometrics. The purpose of this study is to analyze and map the financial impacts of supply chain management through bibliometric analysis. We used the Scopus database for this research. Several bibliometric methodologies, including research trends, productive contributors, collaboration networks, and research focus areas, are integrated with topics to create an overview. The findings reveal that the literature on supply chain management and financial performance has grown significantly over the past few decades. The contributions of researchers worldwide represent interests that cross geographical boundaries and provide an overview of the global challenges. Mapping the financial impacts of supply chain management using network visualization reveals four clusters of current hot issues. The red cluster primarily focuses on green supply chain management. The light green cluster emphasizes practical implications, while the dark green cluster is dedicated to business improvement. The blue cluster is centered around organizational performance. These findings offer valuable insights into current research trajectories and opportunities for optimizing supply chain management to enhance financial performance.

By taking control of Afghanistan, the Taliban regime has closed schools and universities to girls and denied them the right to education beyond the sixth grade. The Taliban government has declared the lack of a suitable environment that is compatible with Islamic standards as the main reason for opposing the education of girls. While the majority of Sunni and Shiite jurists and religious scholars do not agree with the Taliban ruling. An example of such a restriction is not seen even in the most traditional Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia. Many views consider the Taliban’s policy towards girls’ education as a result of the traditions and cultural values ​​of the Pashtuns. Based on this, the present research, with a comparative study of the cities of Bamyan and Kandahar, tried to investigate the cultural barriers to the right to education for girls in these two cities, which represent the two largest ethnic groups in Afghanistan. Qualitative method was used in this research and data was obtained through the analysis of questionnaires. The questionnaires of this research were set up in the online form of Google and were given to the respondents using the “available” method. According to the findings of the research, cultural factors are the main obstacle to girls not having access to the right to education, which is not allowing families, wrong culture and traditions, insecurity, lack of morale, unfavorable economic situation, early marriage, lack of awareness, inappropriate educational environment, lack of family encouragement, Men’s pessimistic view of girls, and the weak perception of girls compared to boys in society, were identified as the most important.

Este estudo avaliou o efeito do uso de diferentes hidropolímeros biodegradáveis no crescimento inicial e na sobrevivência de Handroanthus impetiginosus (Mart. ex DC.) Mattos e Eugenia uniflora L. em condições de campo, em uma área a ser restaurada em Dourados, MS. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado (DIC) com oito tratamentos:  T1 - carboximetilcelulose (CMC); T2 - goma guar (GG); T3 - carboximetilcelulose e goma guar (CMC+GG); T4 - vermiculita (VMTA); T5 - vermiculita e carboximetilcelulose (VMTA+CMC); T6 - vermiculita e goma guar (VMTA+GG); T7 - carboximetilcelulose, goma guar e vermiculita (CMC+GG+VMTA) e T8 - controle, com dez repetições cada, totalizando 160 mudas. As espécies foram avaliadas aos 0, 90 e 180 dias após o plantio, analisando parâmetros de crescimento (altura e diâmetro) por meio de ANOVA a 5% de significância, e a sobrevivência através de curvas de Kaplan-Meier e teste log-rank. Os resultados indicaram que o uso de hidropolímero não teve impacto significativo (p > 0,05) no crescimento das espécies, possivelmente devido à ausência de déficit hídrico durante o experimento ou à dosagem inadequada. As curvas de probabilidade de sobrevivência mostraram diferenças significativas (p < 0,0001) entre as espécies, com H. impetiginosus apresentando alta taxa de sobrevivência (95,7%) e E. uniflora baixa taxa (15,2%) no final do estudo. A probabilidade de sobrevivência entre os tratamentos não foi significativa para ambas as espécies (p = 0,22 para H. impetiginosus e p = 0,25 para E. uniflora). A baixa sobrevivência de E. uniflora, incluindo o controle (22,5%), sugere que fatores além do hidropolímero influenciaram os resultados, como possíveis danos no sistema radicular ou a qualidade das mudas.

Abordar essas questões representa um desafio que ultrapassa a formação inicial, destacando a importância da formação continuada. É na formação continuada que os/as docentes adquirem o conhecimento necessário sobre esses temas, não totalmente abordados na formação inicial, mas presentes em várias áreas do conhecimento. A formação continuada deve ir além do simples ensino de conteúdos, fornecendo informações científicas e orientações pedagógicas que favoreçam a formação de cidadãos conscientes de seus direitos e deveres, e que respeitem as diferenças de gênero e sexualidade presentes na escola e na sociedade. O objetivo dos/as professores/as é superar as expectativas dos alunos/as, oferecendo novos saberes. Para isso, os/as professores/as precisam atualizar e aprofundar seus conhecimentos, repensar suas práticas e didáticas, especialmente em relação à diversidade e sexualidade, discriminação e homofobia. Dessa forma, a formação continuada de professores/as promove novos conhecimentos necessários para a implementação de políticas educacionais, reformulações curriculares e práticas pedagógicas, contribuindo para uma educação democrática e inclusiva

Todos os arquivos foram convertidos para o formato Shapefile, pois este formato permite a entrada e vinculação da base de dados com as funcionalidades do Sistema de Informações Geográficas (SIG). Os dados SIG e a elaboração do layout dos mapas foram feitos no software QGIS. As etapas pertinentes ao Modelo Digital de Elevação (DEM) para geração da letra altimétrica, curvas de inclinação e nível foram realizadas com as três planilhas do Projeto Topodata. O Processamento Digital de Imagens (DIP) assumiu a composição, redesenho e recorte da cena do Landsat 8. Além dos resultados do processo de imagem digital foi elaborada a carta imagem da área de estudo. A análise dos resultados permitiu conhecer as características geoambientais do município através do mapeamento e constitui-se como conhecimento estratégico para as ações de planejamento ambiental e a gestão do território do município.

Os primeiros socorros consistem nos cuidados iniciais que devem ser prontamente oferecidos a uma pessoa que tenha sofrido um acidente ou mal súbito, e que coloque em risco sua vida; sendo o seu objetivo preservar as funções vitais, prevenindo a deterioração de suas condições, por meio da aplicação de medidas e procedimentos, até que a assistência qualificada (serviço de socorro) chegue. Sendo assim, a finalidade desse relato é descrever a experiência de discentes de graduação em Enfermagem de uma universidade pública do Triângulo Mineiro em construir um curso prático, ministrado em 2023, sobre noções básicas de primeiros socorros com a utilização da metodologia ativa no seu desenvolvimento. Tal curso foi desenvolvido a partir de uma parceria firmada entre discentes e docentes de um grupo de pesquisa e de uma liga acadêmica de urgência e emergência em Enfermagem desta Universidade. Essa metodologia propiciou o trabalho em equipe, incentivou o protagonismo dos discentes e cursistas na busca por soluções que contribuíram na construção do conhecimento sobre noções básicas de primeiros socorros.
O benefício de prestação continuada na concretização do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana

Published: July 2024

Este artigo trata do Benefício de Prestação Continuada (BPC), analisando a sua concessão, à luz do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana, por essa razão, busca compreender os requisitos necessários para a sua consecução. Este trabalho utilizou a metodologia de pesquisa bibliográfica com revisão integrativa de literatura pertinente à matéria, a partir da leitura de livros, da legislação e da jurisprudência. Dentre as controvérsias que circundam o tema, discute-se a inconstitucionalidade do artigo 20, § 3º, da Lei 8.742/93, concernente ao requisito da miserabilidade do requerente do benefício e a exclusão da renda de alguns membros do grupo familiar. Para tanto, é verificada a letra da Lei, que, em muitas ocasiões, destoa da realidade social brasileira, de modo que inúmeros indivíduos que carecem de uma assistência por parte do Estado têm a requisição de seus benefícios indeferida por conta de requisitos puramente matemáticos/objetivos, ferindo, assim, o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana.

Authors: Rocha Dannilo Vono Moura da , Jakelaitis Adriano , Pereira Jardel Lopes
Published: July 2024

Perdas na produtividade de milho podem ser causadas pela cigarrinha Dalbulus maidis devido a transmissão do complexo de doenças sistêmicas, caracterizado por enfezamentos pálido e vermelho e a virose da risca do milho. Objetivou-se nesta pesquisa avaliar as respostas de plantas de milho atacadas por D. maidis, tratadas com produtos biológicos via tratamento de sementes (ensaio 1) e por pulverização (ensaio 2). Em ambos os ensaios, os tratamentos foram: testemunhas não tratadas e aplicações dos produtos biológicos Rhizophagus intraradices, Bacillus thuringiensis, Azospirillum brasilense, Trichoderma harzianum, Bacillus subtilis e Metarhizium anisopliae, mais o controle químico com fipronil + fludioxonil, com três repetições. No ensaio 2, os produtos foram aplicados aos 10 dias após o plantio. As populações de D. maidis, os sintomas e a severidade da virose da risca do milho e dos enfezamentos, a área abaixo da curva de progresso da doença (AACPD) e os componentes de produtividade do milho foram avaliados. Após a emergência do milho, a população de D. maidis foi uniforme entre os tratamentos. No ensaio 1 foram observados menor progressão dos sintomas das doenças e maior rendimento de grãos, quando as sementes de milho foram tratadas com R. intraradices. Dos produtos biológicos pulverizados sobre as plantas no ensaio 2 e que proporcionaram menor AACPD e maiores rendimentos de grãos foram com B. thuringiensis, A. brasilense, T. harzianum e B. subitilis. Não foram observadas correlações lineares entre a densidade populacional de D. maidis e dos sintomas das doenças com o rendimento de grãos de milho.

Introduction: Visceral Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease transmitted by sandflies, causing fever, weight loss and inflammation of the spleen. Identified in 1903, its global spread is influenced by socioeconomic and environmental factors. The parasites responsible for this disease are trypanosomatid protozoa that belong to the genus Leishmania. The vectors are sandflies, mainly of the species Lutzomyia longipalpis infected by Leishmania chagasi. Popularly known as sand flies, they reproduce in areas rich in organic matter. The evolutionary cycle of Leishmania chagasi is heteroxenic, involving vertebrate hosts such as canids, marsupials or humans, and invertebrate hosts, which are sandfly insects. Initially, Visceral Leishmaniasis may be asymptomatic or present with prolonged fever, weight loss, weakness, and anemia. Then, symptoms such as enlargement of the spleen and liver, pallor, intermittent fever and impairment of the immune system appear. In the advanced stage of infection, serious complications such as hemorrhages, secondary infections, profound anemia, and hepatosplenic insufficiency occur. The diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis involves a series of clinical, laboratory and epidemiological approaches. The treatment of Visceral Leishmaniasis in Brazil is done with pentavalent antimonial compounds, such as the antimoniate N-methyl glucamine, administered intravenously or intramuscularly. Some contraindications include renal or hepatic failure, pregnancy in the first two trimesters, and patients taking beta-blockers or antiarrhythmics. Preventive measures must be carried out in individual and collective environments. These measures include the use of repellents, avoiding exposure at times when the vectors are most active, environmental management, tree pruning, cleaning of pet shelters, among others. Visceral Leishmaniasis represents a complex public health challenge. Understanding the protozoan cycle, diagnostic methods, and treatment options is crucial for effective disease management.

Primary Health Care (PHC) plays an essential role in health promotion, being considered the gateway to other services in the Unified Health System. The present study aimed to characterize and analyze the demands related to child and adolescent psychotherapy services at a Mental Health outpatient clinic in a city of the triple border. For this, a documentary, descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative research was carried out. The study period comprised September 2022 to September 2023. 54 children and adolescents were assisted, predominantly female, aged between 10 and 12 years. Among girls and boys, the demand for anxiety stood out, with 43.3% and 29.2%, respectively. It is noteworthy that, at the time of data collection, 31.5% of the patients were still undergoing psychological follow-up and, among these, one patient was already in the 25th session, and the average session for this group was 14 sessions. Finally, the results of this study reinforce the need to strengthen and expand mental health actions in Primary Health Care, investing in professional training, community awareness, and the implementation of effective public policies that promote access, quality, and comprehensiveness of mental health care for children and adolescents.
Participatory planning and the new ATER/ATES: An assessment of the challenges of implementation
Authors: Meyer Leandro Frederico Ferraz , Pinto Wilza da Silveira
Published: July 2024

The article submits our reflections on the challenges of participatory planning and collective management of ATER/ATES services in agrarian reform settlements. The Bloomington School's conceptual framework of institutional economics is employed to interpret these challenges as problems of polycentric governance and collective action for the provision of public goods and management of commonly-owned resources. The Habermasian critique of the limits of the conception of instrumental rationality is incorporated into the analysis to broaden the understanding of the different modes of engagement in the dialogical processes of participation. Based on an integrative scheme of the two approaches and results of previous research, the article concludes by stating the impossibility of replacing the internal willingness to cooperate with institutional engineering schemes and external incentives.
