Authors: Okengwu U.A. , Onyejegbu L.N. , Oghenekaro L.U. , Musa M.O. , Ugbari A.O.
Published: June 2023

Numerous ethical and environmental questions are raised by the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in agriculture or precision farming. This study examines  strategies that can solve environmental and ethical concerns as well as the negative effects artificial intelligence in agriculture may have on the environment and society. It employed a thorough literature study to determine the adverse effects of AI on the environment and ethics in Africa, as well  as the suggested counter measures. The rate of carbon emissions is rising as a result of AI models, and constant power supply in our farms. Additionally, the ethical issues around data ownership rights, privacy and security, data bias, and the belief that AI in agriculture will someday entirely replace  occupations designated for farmers were explored, along with suggestions for mitigating each of these issues. African academics, policymakers, and  innovators are crucial for ensuring that AI solutions are in line with African priorities and requirements.
Aportaciones de la cristología patrística de la “imagen” a la antropología teológica
Authors: Ladaria (Card.) Luis Francisco
Published: June 2023

San Pablo y los Padres de la Iglesia releyeron cristológicamente el relato del Génesis en el que el hombre había sido creado a imagen de Dios. Cristo es la verdadera imagen divina a partir de la cual el hombre ha sido creado. Esta idea no solo remite al origen del hombre, sino también a su destino: porque el ser humano ha sido creado a imagen de Cristo la salvación se le hace accesible también en Cristo. El artículo presenta las dos perspectivas patrísticas más relevantes en este tema: la alejandrina, que creía que solo solo el alma era imagen divina, y la asiática, que consideraba a todo el ser humano —también su cuerpo— como imagen de Dios. La presentación termina con algunas reflexiones antropológicas sobre la relación entre la imagen divina y la vocación humana.
A DIVISÃO SEXUAL NAS BRINCADEIRAS
Authors: Silva Thiago José
Published: June 2023

Desde muito cedo os direitos de liberdade são violados e as imposições de gênero ditam regras na vida e no cotidiano das crianças, a sociedade capitalista emprega o patriarcado como ordem política e enraíza as desigualdades de gênero nas mais variadas camadas. Essa pesquisa busca evidenciar através dessa óptica o emprego de educação de corpos a partir das brincadeiras e como a ela pode se difundir um mal social que acompanha o indivíduo até a vida adulta. As respostas para essa pesquisa baseiam-se no maior eixo relacional de uma criança, que são as brincadeiras, através de um momento determinante para o acolhimento da identidade, internalizando a partir da infância aquilo que a elas são atribuídas. As respostas para essa pesquisa são encontradas ao longo de todo o artigo, primeiro por um estudo documental, explicando o processo de enraizamento da cultura machista e patriarcal no desenvolvimento de homens e mulheres desde o campo social até a educação, para por fim, observar o cotidiano nas escolas e comprovar como são as relações de gênero se pronunciam neste espaço. Conclui-se que as contribuições dessa pesquisa são importantes em três pontos: Identificar onde se forma esse problema estrutural, avaliar as práticas das brincadeiras como um dos principais pontos de desigualdade e equidade para a construção de gênero e por fim, como as práticas educacionais podem servir como uma importante ferramenta para não sustentar as demandas opressivas deliberadas pelas desigualdades de gênero.
Cloud Computing –Security Issues and Threats
Authors: Tembhare Yash , Kachhi Lokesh , Agey Amber
Published: June 2023

One of the most exciting topics in the IT business nowadays is cloud computing. The cloud computing resource paradigm has changed the geography of computing. Computing's promises of cost reductions, enormous scalability, lower dependency on third parties, and increased trust have attracted both businesses and individuals. This increases the power of information technology. Cloud computing has grown significantly recently in the field of information technology. Concerns over information security are growing as more and more people and businesses store information in the cloud. Many companies, including Microsoft, which is considered a software development powerhouse, are working on developing cloud services. Customers are reluctant to change their business practices ignoring the excitement around it, to the cloud. Protection is one of them. All three aspects are covered by a comprehensive cloud security plan to ensure the foundation is solid. Each can be viewed through a different lens or perspective on cloud security. For your company to use the cloud to grow securely, a solid plan must decrease risk (security controls), defend against threats (secure coding and deployment), and overcome obstacles (adopt cultural and technical solutions).

Comparing the Results of Geotechnical Tests with the Well Seismic Survey to Find the Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity for the Surface Soil Sections in Hilla City
Authors: Jedi Zahraa , Al-Khalidy Amer
Published: June 2023

The study area for Babylon Governorate is located roughly 110 kilometers from Baghdad, Iraq's capital city. Approximately 5,119 km2 of Iraq's total land area is occupied by it. The most common wind direction in Iraq is northwest. The results of the cross-hole survey using P and S-wave timings and velocities were discovered through a geophysical analysis of the area. In depths of 1 to 10 meters, the P-wave velocity was 482.01 m/sec and the S-wave velocity was 180.11 m/sec. 1.6-1.8 kn/m3 was the average bulk density of the research area's soils, with the lowest value of 1.6 kn/m3 in the depths of 1m and the highest value of 1.8 kn/m3 at 10 m. At depths of 1 to 10 meters, internal friction angles (ɸ) ranged from 15 to 30 degrees. The velocity values of P and S-wave increase with depth from the surface to the depth of 10 m because of the density increase with depth in the soil (the layer compaction or soil load). Based on the ratio of compressional and shear velocities of density, elasticity and geotechnical parameters were determined. There was a wide variation in Poisson's ratio (v) between 1-10 meters, which indicates that the soil in the research area is sandy clay. The soil is considered saturated when Ko is close to 1 and the concentration index Ic exceeds 3.

Application of Bypass Heater System for Prevention of Overcooling in Diesel Engines
Authors: Darmansyah Darmansyah , Khalid Anhar , Kasim Muhammad , Azhar Muhammad
Published: June 2023

Industrial and agency activities are currently strongly influenced by electricity supply from PLN. When the PLN electricity goes out, the generator will immediately turn on and all loads previously electrified by PLN power will move to the generator. This displacement occurs quickly and not gradually. Diesel engines (engines) will receive high loads when conditions are still not hot. Diesel engines take longer to heat compared to gasoline engines. This condition is referred to as overcooling. This study uses a bypass heater system to accelerate the heating process and prevent overcooling. From experiments that have been conducted show that the use of a heater as 3000 W for generators with a size of 400 kVa can reduce the heating period by 17 minutes (54%). In addition, it can reduce fuel consumption by an average of 0.5 lt/h during the heating period

“EU SOU A CONSTITUIÇÃO!”: governo Bolsonaro e utilização de instrumentos coercitivos em nome do Estado
Authors: Garcia Andrea Joana Sodré de Sousa , Pereira Ana Carolina Torrente , Araujo Karlene Carvalho Marinho de
Published: June 2023

O artigo apresenta análise teórica e crítica sobre as relações Estado/governo/indivíduos, a partir de três situações reais nas quais o governo de Jair Messias Bolsonaro (2019-2022), utilizou de mecanismos e instrumentos coercitivos para punir indivíduos que se manifestaram contra seu governo. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o discurso e a ação do governo Bolsonaro frente às manifestações contrárias ao seu exercício. Reflete também sobre os conceitos de Estado, democracia, e como eles são utilizados pelos governantes em uma dinâmica de interesse e manutenção de poder, resgatando-os como elementos simbólicos presentes no imaginário social. Balizados por fatores presentes na antropologia política, que, através de suas percepções aproximadas da realidade objetiva e subjetiva dos indivíduos, orientam-nos a um entendimento da realidade social mais ampla, em que elementos que aparentemente demonstram-se incongruentes, a exemplo das falas autoritárias e antidemocráticas do presidente Bolsonaro, fazem sentido na dinâmica subjetiva e simbólica de alguns grupos sociais. Questionou-se então, por que, mesmo diante de gestos antidemocráticos, o referido governo se manteve no poder? Metodologicamente adotou-se a pesquisa bibliográfica, bem como a análise de três reportagens de repercussão nacional. Assim, foi possível observar os jogos de interesse e de poder que permeiam as relações políticas nos estados democráticos. A análise desse campo teórico, com as comparações de material jornalístico, demonstrou a realidade ampliada, para além de modelos e conceitos estabelecidos, compreendendo a singularidade da democracia brasileira a partir da realidade social dos indivíduos e de seus grupos.
IMAGENS DIGITAIS E COMUNIDADES IMAGINADAS: uma analogia entre videogames, imperialismo e indústria cultural
Authors: Oliveira Gabriel Maia de
Published: June 2023

Este artigo aborda o caráter social do videogame como porta para o debate sobre as possibilidades de análise sociológica desse objeto. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa cujo resultado é a discussão aqui proposta, que parte de uma comparação das imagens de um mapa de um videogame e da relação entre imagens históricas e o imperialismo histórico com o que veio a se tornar a indústria dos jogos digitais como parte da indústria cultural. Isso é realizado apontando para conexões entre os papéis de objetos da cultura na teoria de Benedict Anderson sobre “comunidades imaginadas” e como é possível identificar nos videogames formas sociais que correspondem ao que a indústria dos jogos hoje representa para as produções culturais e de guerra de impérios.
A ARTE DESAFIA O PRINCÍPIO DA RAZÃO? Reflexões sobre arte e política a partir do pensamento de Herbert Marcuse
Authors: Tupiniquim Isaura
Published: June 2023

Neste artigo, busca-se analisar e discutir paradigmas da arte política a partir de Herbert Marcuse, especialmente por meio dos conceitos de “alienação da arte” e “dessublimação repressiva”. Nesta análise, observa-se os sentidos dados à arte, sua dimensão revolucionária ou reificada tendo em vista o contexto recente de censura e perseguição às artes com a ascensão da extrema direita no Brasil. A aproximação com a teoria crítica se estabelece, inicialmente, considerando a crítica à noção de progresso e de razão instrumental feitas por Adorno e Horkheimer no livro Dialética do esclarecimento, de modo a identificar convergências acerca do fenômeno da fascistização do pensamento político e do potencial revolucionário da arte nos diferentes contextos históricos. Em diálogo com autores contemporâneos, como o crítico de arte Hal Foster, a escritora Walidah Imarisha, e a performance-instalação Vote nu de Natasha de Albuquerque, o artigo aponta caminhos para pensar as dimensões emancipatórias da arte na contemporaneidade.
Relational Design
Authors: Udoewa Victor , Gress Savannah
Published: June 2023

Participatory design occurs when professional designers do design work with the community members who will use the design. Traditional (colonial) participatory design leaves the choice of methodology in the hands of the professional designer, the leader or facilitator, who often chooses extractivist methods and methodologies, contradicting the very relationality, equity, and participation intended through participatory design. Using such methods in participatory design creates situations in which participating community members conduct extractivist, transactional methods against their own communities. In contrast, Radical Participatory Design decolonizes participatory processes as communities not only equally participate, but also equitably lead the design process, naturally leading to asset-based methodologies. Though Radical Participatory Design is a type of relational design because the design process is done relationally elevating relational knowledge and expertise, we go further to describe an explicit Relational Design.
What would a design process look like if we not only conduct it participatorily, but also replace extractivist, transactional activities with relational ones? Because design involves the production and solicitation of knowledge, we rearticulate knowledge as the presence of healthy relationships. With that understanding we describe Relational Design. We discuss the connection between systems and relationships and why Relational Design is important for positive systems change and impact. We then describe one possible and specific relational methodology that we have used in the space of educational systems: the sustained dialogue framework. Using this framework, we discuss how each phase of a generic design process changes when using a relational methodology like sustained dialogue. As the health of relationships in a system increases, the need or usefulness of positivist methods based on third-person knowing decreases.
Conscious Systemic Leadership
Authors: Chowdhury Rajneesh
Published: June 2023

Conscious systemic leadership (CSL) is a theoretical construct that draws from Shiva consciousness. Through major parts of history, theories and narratives have taken an individualistic approach to leadership focusing on the person as a leader. However, systemic leadership (SL) is an emergent phenomenon that draws on synergies and concerted efforts of several people and institutions operating across several places and levels to create a more purposeful and meaningful existence for us. If SL is about shifting the focus from the self to the wider scheme of existence, a consciousness-based approach is necessary. A consciousness-based approach enables us to undergo a mind-shift from the individual to the collective, from short-term to long-term, from rigidity to fluidity, from holding-on to letting-go, and from results-focus to learning-orientation. The philosophy of Shiva is drawn on to understand that consciousness is the substratum of reality, an insight used to build the theoretical construct of CSL. In Shiva consciousness, reality is embodied in our experience of the world through a transcendental and eternal process of fusion and dance of energies between the opposing archetypes of the purusha and prakriti; pure consciousness and the creative force, respectively. Everywhere, in each minute attribute of reality, a “self” is present, which is the universal consciousness of Shiva. CSL demands a set of new thinking and practices to bring this concept to life. With the integration of consciousness, CSL makes a new addition to the field of SL as the first attempt in the literature to draw on perspectives from Hindu philosophy, more specifically the Shiva philosophy.

Landslides are catastrophic geological risks that are unexpected. This study aims to develop a Landslide Vulnerability Map of Barangay Fatima, Pantabangan, Nueva Ecija. Landslide Mapping has been developed to mitigate the adverse effect of landslide. This study interprets and integrate landslide factors; elevation, slope, rainfall, soil classification, land cover, and proximity to road and fault lines to generate a landslide vulnerability map. The eigenvectors rendered by experts engaged are evaluated for consistency to obtain credible and acceptable findings using AHP. The results showed that rainfall had the largest eigenvector (32.66%), then slope (20.80%), soil texture (15.96%), proximity to fault line (14.02%), land cover (8.27%), proximity to a road (4.63%), and elevation (3.66%). This suggests that rainfall and slope are more important than the other factors. Moreover, monitoring of landslide occurrences in the area is advised so that future research can confirm the model's conclusions.

Pharmaceutical companies have a critical role in ensuring that people have access to high-quality and affordable medical services. They provide a wide range of healthcare offerings, including preventive care and emergency interventions. The pharmaceutical industry is complex and ever-evolving, requiring an entrepreneurial mindset and continuous value creation to maintain high levels of performance. While pharmaceutical companies contribute significantly to the social and economic well- being of individuals in both developed and developing countries, there are instances where their performance may not meet expectations, evident in declining financial growth. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study was 308 executive manager, directors and marketing department official in these quoted pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria. Data was collected using a valid and reliable questionnaire with a Cronbach alpha value greater than 0.7. Data were analysed using both descriptive and inferential tools. Multiple and Hierarchical Regression Analysis were used to determine the effect of the variables using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The results revealed that entrepreneurial orientation had significant effect on financial growth of quoted pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria (Adj. R2 = 0.200; F (5, 296) = 16.093, p < 0.05). The study concluded that entrepreneurial orientation had significant influence on financial growth of quoted pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria. The study recommended that management of pharmaceutical companies should adopt strategies that would enable them to identify and capitalize on emerging market opportunities, as well as improving their organizational performance. Moreover, the companies should also focus on creating a culture that encourages innovation, risk-taking and pro-activeness, as well as improving their organizational agility and flexibility to enhance financial growth.

Ensamblando el concepto de discurso con los de forma-información, medio y operación transductiva de la obra simondoniana, desarrollo una perspectiva sobre los procesos discursivos, e integro elementos de distintos enfoques de la argumentación y el análisis del discurso en el marco de una concepción psico-socio-técnica. Considero que el evento argumentativo puede analizarse en términos de una relación forma-medio, lo que permite caracterizarlo como operación transductiva.

Published: June 2023

Este trabalho, que se insere nos estudos retórico-discursivos da linguagem, tem como principal objetivo analisar as artimanhas da construção argumentativa de diferentes tipos de ethé que foram engendrados por ocasião de um pronunciamento do presidente Lula, durante seu programa eleitoral do segundo turno das eleições de 2022, compreendendo como os ethé estão apresentados discursivamente. Para a execução desse objetivo, ancoramos as nossas discussões em autores dos estudos retóricos antigos e modernos e da análise do discurso francesa contemporânea. A base teórica utilizada para a análise é especificamente a Semiolinguística, de Patrick Charaudeau, aplicada ao discurso político, com destaque para a tipologia do ethos. Nossa investigação verificou que Lula se utilizou de uma tipologia do ethos que almeja despertar a confiança do auditório, ao passo que, a todo instante, desqualificou a imagem de seu adversário, Jair Bolsonaro, candidato à reeleição.

O propósito deste estudo é descrever os recursos argumentativos utilizados na construção dos frames em duas webnotícias. Para tanto, serão utilizadas as noções de frame e script (VAN DIJK, 2021) provenientes da análise crítica do discurso com base cognitiva, além da noção de estereótipo (AMOSSY, 2022), filiando os pressupostos à discussão sobre argumentação realizada pela Linguística Textual e pela teoria da argumentação no discurso (CAVALCANTE et al., 2022; AMOSSY, 2020). Os resultados das análises elucidaram que as escolhas lexicais utilizadas pelos locutores demonstraram ser também estratégias de apelo às emoções do interlocutor, como argumentos que remetem ao medo ou apelam à autoridade, marcando também a construção dos frames e dos estereótipos.

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar estratégias textuais e discursivas de argumentação utilizadas pela Atlas Network para compor sua imagem institucional, que influencia diferentes representantes políticos das novas direitas brasileiras, especificamente na massificação do discurso neoliberal, repaginado sob uma estética palatável, denominado de “novo neoliberalismo”. Na composição do corpus desta investigação, definida metodologicamente como bibliográfica e com abordagem qualitativa, selecionamos “ao voo” (MOIRAND, 2020) segmentos da seção “Nossa História”, disposta no site da instituição, com o intuito de verificar de que modo os seres de fala agem na encenação do ato de comunicação e analisar como se constrói a argumentação nesse espaço particular. Os resultados indicam que a Atlas Network emprega diferentes recursos textuais de argumentação para fundamentar a sua proposta de mundo e criar uma imagem em defesa do neoliberalismo, expressando o ponto de vista da organização.

Apresenta-se, neste artigo, pesquisa sobre como marcas linguísticas da Primeira Pessoa do Plural (PPP) são mobilizadas, em recortes de textos do gênero dossiê, das revistas Cult (Brasil) e Nova Águia (Portugal), de modo a conquistar a adesão da audiência por meio do pathos vinculado a sentimentos nacionalistas. Para as análises, adotou-se, principalmente, a perspectiva qualitativa, embasada teoricamente em estudos de diferentes vertentes da Linguística, da Pragmática e da Retórica, o que proporcionou a verificação de recorrência de marcas linguísticas dos fenômenos estudados, e, em um segundo momento, proporcionou a análise descritiva. As análises evidenciam que, no corpus, a PPP é utilizada para a construção de três tipos diferentes de grupos virtuais que envolvem a noção de território e cultura compartilhada em um espaço geográfico, sendo que essas estratégias ocorrem com muito maior proeminência em textos do português europeu.
Intrinsic risk factors associated with iliotibial band syndrome: A systematic review
Authors: Roosens Eddy , Beaufils Coline , Busegnies Yves , Van Tiggelen Damien
Published: June 2023

Objectiveː Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is the second most common running injury and the leading cause of lateral knee pain. Despite the numerous investigations on the subject, the intrinsic risk factors that may be involved in the syndrome have still not been highlighted and no consensus has been established in the literature. The objective of this systematic review is to investigate intrinsic risk factors associated with iliotibial band syndrome in order to provide an algorithm for future research and clinical guidance.

Material and Methods: A systematic review of the literature was carried out according to the PRISMA guidelines, in the PubMed and ScienceDirect databases in order to identify studies investigating different parameters on patients with the syndrome since 2015; the date of the last systematic review on the subject.

Resultsː Ten studies met the inclusion criteria of this review: cohort (n=1), cross-sectional study (n=8), case-control study (n=1). The results show that subjects with iliotibial band syndrome show atypical frontal plane kinematics in the hip and knee joint, a more prominent lateral femoral epicondyle, thickening of the iliotibial band, femoropatellar abnormalities and less resistance to fatigue of the gluteus medius muscle.

Conclusionː This review offers opportunities in the management of ITBS. Some morphological, neuromuscular, muscle strength and biomechanical factors have been identified specific to ITBS patients. However, this work has several limitations; a small number of included studies, a lack of high-level studies, and methodological biases. Further studies, including randomized controlled trials and prospective studies are needed to reveal strong relationships between intrinsic risk factors and the onset of the syndrome.
Decision-making in Latin American family firms: a systematic review of the literature

Published: June 2023

A large number of the powerhouses of the world economy are family-owned. In Latin America, these generate jobs and contributions to the regional economy. The decision-making of these companies significantly determines their good performance and sustainability, so it is crucial to understand their causes, nature, and effects. The present investigation is of a mixed approach, not experimental; Through the systematic literature review, current production is studied in four principal databases. This paper offers a current look at the state of the literature on family business decision-making in the Latin American context. The main results show that the current literature has a very limited field of application and that, added to this, the heterogeneity in family firms should allow generalizations. It is necessary to broaden the methods and perspectives of study to address the subject.
Energy Demand Reduction for Nigeria Housing Stock Through Innovative Materials, Methods and Technologies

Published: June 2023

Energy utilisation has recently become a highly sought-after commodity on a global scale. This situation is not limited to Nigeria, where the national grid’s supply of electricity has been severely inadequate. This has hampered the country’s ability to meet the mounting needs of its large population and expanding economy. Aside from the global challenges of rising energy costs and environmental disasters, a number of factors such as a lack of interest in indigenous building technologies and materials have contributed to the Nigerian construction industry’s slow pace of meeting energy demand and achieving energy efficiency. This study investigates the possibility of achieving energy conservation through innovative materials, methods, and technology to increase energy efficiency and minimise energy demand in Nigeria’s residential housing. The objective is to determine the variables that influence energy usage in residential house design, select methods and technologies to reduce energy demand, and assess the best materials and processes. A quantitative approach to data collection was used by distributing questionnaires to respondents in the Minna metropolis. A hundred and forty (140) question- naires were distributed, and 117 of them were returned. Secondary data were obtained from literature reviews, journal articles, and conference papers. According to the findings, the most energy efficient residential buildings would result from the appropriate use of innovative ma- terials, methods, and technology to reduce the energy demand of the building. In order to decrease energy demand, the study suggests that built environment professionals should focus largely on changing energy-consuming devices and their end uses for energy efficiency. It concluded that, in order to reduce overlap between the applications of these elements and bet- ter meet the needs of building occupants in terms of energy usage in Nigeria, energy demand should be considered from the design stage.
