Authors: Muhammadnur Jibril , Meshesha Million , Abate Jemal , Aman Araba
Published: January 2025

Wheat production, a cornerstone of food security in Ethiopia, is heavily impacted by stripe rust disease, which leads to significant economic losses. Traditional methods for detecting and classifying disease severity are labor-intensive, error-prone, and costly. This study introduces a novel convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model, WRNet, designed for the detection and severity classification of wheat yellow rust disease, along with treatment recommendations. Utilizing 20,000 annotated images collected from Ethiopia, the model applies advanced preprocessing techniques such as noise removal and segmentation using bilateral filtering and k-means algorithms. The WRNet model achieved superior performance with 99.11% training accuracy, 99.04% validation accuracy, and 99% testing accuracy, surpassing pre-trained models such as InceptionV3, InceptionResNetV2, and MobileNetV2. Additionally, the system provides fungicide dosage recommendations tailored to severity levels, ensuring effective disease management. A user-friendly prototype interface developed using Flask enables domain experts to classify disease severity and receive treatment recommendations, offering a scalable solution for precision agriculture in Ethiopia and beyond.

Published: January 2025

We show how fermionic statistics can be naturally incorporated in tensor networks on arbitrary graphs through the use of graded Hilbert spaces. This formalism allows the use of tensor network methods for fermionic lattice systems in a local way, avoiding the need of a Jordan-Wigner transformation or the explicit tracking of leg crossings by swap gates in 2D tensor networks. The graded Hilbert spaces can be readily integrated with other internal and lattice symmetries, and only require minor extensions to an existing tensor network software package. We review and benchmark the fermionic versions of common algorithms for matrix product states and projected entangled-pair states.

La Tierra prometida: fracturas, permanencias y ausencias de la configuración de los proyectos de paz liberal en Colombia 1991-2022
Authors: Jaime-Salas Julio
Published: January 2025

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo develar las condiciones de posibilidad y configuración de los proyectos de paz liberal en Colombia en el periodo de 1991 a 2022 a través de los Planes de Desarrollo Nacional y los discursos de posesión presidencial. Para ello se aborda una metodología cualitativa de corte posestructuralista-decolonial denominada Análisis Situacional decolonial que corresponde a la cuarta generación de la Grounded Theory. El estudio concluye que se ha configurado y hecho posible a través de diversas gradaciones conservadoras, ortodoxas y realistas del consenso global liberal de la paz, una gubernamentalidad pacifica colonial que opera con diversas racionalidades que se hibridan y coexisten con formas de colonialidad del saber, poder, de la naturaleza y del ser para producir el proyecto de paz liberal criolla del presente como metáfora de la tierra prometida.
De esta manera, “la tierra prometida” como gubernamentalidad pacificadora o la paz como gobierno, opera como dispositivo neocolonial multidimensional (Saber, poder, ser, naturaleza) teleológico que instaura un régimen de verdad sobre lo que se puede decir, ver y hacer sobre la paz en Colombia. Así, se convierte en un desafío para el movimiento social popular, las agendas de los procesos de paz en curso y las educaciones para las paces, desnaturalizar el estatuto epistémico de los proyectos de paz liberal en los que se encuentra inmerso el presente y disputar la imaginación radical de futuro acorazada por la arquitectura del orden neoliberal global de la paz que amenaza la vida.
Representación de la ciudadanía en las coberturas mediáticas del paro nacional de 2022 en Ecuador
Authors: Cerbino Mauro , Panchi Marco
Published: January 2025

Este artículo examina cómo dos medios de comunicación ecuatorianos, uno privado y otro comunitario, abordaron el paro nacional de 2022 contra el Gobierno de Guillermo Lasso, destacando cómo cada uno construyó diferentes perspectivas de ciudadanía: una liberal y otra más cercana al republicanismo. En términos metodológicos, se han revisado las coberturas audiovisuales de cada medio durante el paro, analizando cómo se han presentado los sujetos y sus interacciones, los textos verbales que expresan los sujetos en conflicto y el propio medio de comunicación, así como las puestas en escena. Se observa que el medio privado tiende a difundir un relato que condena a la movilización social, haciendo uso de una diversidad de fuentes y argumentos para respaldar su postura crítica. En contraste, el medio comunitario opta por apoyar el paro mediante exposición visual de las protestas, donde la imagen tiene un peso significativo, aunque el relato verbal es más limitado. Como conclusión, el medio privado se acerca a un posicionamiento más amplio de la ciudadanía liberal, pues el medio comunitario tiende a reducir en sus coberturas elementos analíticos que permitan comprender las causas y argumentos de la movilización.

Authors: Barrutia Barreto Israel , Danielli Rocca Juan José , Solano Guilen Ynes Eliana , Carrasco Samame Evelyn Mercedes , Rojas Bujaico Jhon Fredy
Published: January 2025

Given the current trend, English as a second language has become increasingly essential due to globalization. In this context, self-questioning has emerged as a contemporary approach to its teaching. This study aimed to determine the influence of self-questioning as a learning strategy for literary texts in English. Methodologically, the research employed a quantitative, pre-experimental, cross-sectional, and descriptive design with intentional non-probabilistic sampling. The sample consisted of 34 students from the third cycle of the language program (translation and interpretation) during the first semester of 2019 at César Vallejo University, Lima, Peru. The students were randomly divided into three groups. The interventions included a self-questioning strategy through group discussion, student-led questioning based on prompts from the teacher, and a control group, which involved individual reading and free analysis of the text. A pre and post-test opinion questionnaire with Likert-scale response options was administered to collect data, validated by expert judgment. Results showed statistically significant differences across all groups. Conclusion: Self-questioning as a learning strategy significantly impacts the acquisition of English as a second language.

The study also provided relevant information on the opportunities for organisations to support and involve their employees in the transition to retirement.
Interseccionalidade conceito e crítica do conceito
Authors: Lopes João Teixeira
Published: January 2025

This text scrutinises the genesis of the concept of intersectionality, coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1991, highlighting the social, theoretical and institutional conditions of its invention, which is not unrelated to the author's dual belonging as an academic (jurist) and African American activist for black women's rights. Two types of intersectionality are then presented: one, avantla lettre, more abstract and general (type 1), of a systemic and structural nature, which includes the societal theories of Pierre Bourdieu and Karl Marx. Another, closer to the phenomenological ground of experience type 2), whose starting point is drawn up precisely by Crenshaw.The concept is subjected to a holistic and materialist critique, associated with Nancy Fraser's idea of capitalism as an institutionalised social order, highlighting the potential of intersectionality, particularly in the updates that Crenshaw has incorporated, but also the theoretical and civic risks of atomisation, differentialism and individualistic identity appropriation. Finally, it is suggested that type 1 and type 2 of intersectionality should be crossed.
Investigar a pobreza urbana lições e ilações de Evicted e de Poverty, by America, de Matthew Desmond
Authors: Queirós João
Published: January 2025

This essay builds on the reading of Evicted and Poverty, by America, two books by North American sociologist Matthew Desmond, to extract a set of theoretical, methodological and analytical lessons that can inform the design and development of sociological research on urban poverty. Even if these books refer to the very specific case of the United States of America, the fact is that they provide students of social and urban inequality with relevant supporting elements for a renewal of perspectives on what remains to be known -and what can be done -to confront that phenomenon
Elogio da “construção densa”
Authors: Wacquant Loïc
Published: January 2025

Building on my book The Poverty of the Ethnography of Poverty ([2023]2025), I make the case for “thick construction” as a rationalist approach to framing and conducting ethnography. Infused by Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological epistemology, thick construction is a “construction squared,” that is, a scientific (analytic) construction of an ordinary (folk) construction. Anchored by the concept of social space, thick construction aims to dodge the danger of “ethnographism,” the tendency to want to describe, interpret and explain a phenomenon based solely on the elements discerned through fieldwork. It allows us to avoid committing one or another of the five organic fallaciesof participant observation: interactionism, inductivism, populism, presentism and the hermeneutic drift. I diagram how thick description, grounded theory, the extended-case method, abductive theorizing and thick construction configure the duet of theory and observation. Eschewing the false opposition between concept and percept, thick construction aims to build heuristics for fabricating new objects. In this approach, contrary to conventional views, theory is not the haughty master but the humble servant of empirical research as approximation of the real
Dancing Embryo: Enacting Dance Experience Through Human-AI Kinematic Collaboration
Authors: Marin-Bucio Diego
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the intersection of dance, human experience, and artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on how AI can engage in dance-like movements through kinematic co-creation with human performers. The study challenges traditional notions of dance, which are typically centered on human physicality and expressivity, by demonstrating how AI-generated movements can evoke meaningful dance experiences. The project, Dancing Embryo, is a collaboration between a dancer-choreographer and a computational scientist to create an interactive AI capable of generating and transforming dance movements. The AI dancer, designed using motion data from contemporary dancers, participates in real-time performances by synchronizing features of its movements with a human dancer. This work expands the definition of dance to include non-human agents and emphasizes co-creativity between humans and machines. The paper discusses the technological, philosophical, and artistic implications of AI dance, proposing that the experience of dance can be perceived and completed through human interpretation, even when performed by a machine.

Enhancing Secure Image Transmission Through Advanced Encryption Techniques
Authors: Syam Kumar Duggirala  , M. Sathya  , Nithya Poupathy
Published: January 2025

Secure image transmission over the Internet has become a critical issue as digital media become increasingly vulnerable and multimedia technologies progress rapidly. The use of traditional encryption methods to protect multimedia content is often not sufficient, so more sophisticated strategies are required. As part of this paper, an autoencoder-based chaotic logistic map is combined with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to encrypt images. As a result of optimizing CNN feature extraction, chaotic logistic maps ensure strong encryption while maintaining picture quality and reducing computational costs. In addition to Mean Squared Errors (MSE), entropy, correlation coefficients, and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratios (PSNRs), the method shows higher performance. In addition to providing increased security, adaptability, and effectiveness, the results prove the method is resilient to many types of attacks. In this study, CNNs and chaotic systems are combined to improve data security, communication, and image transmission.

Authors: I. Prathibha  , D. Leela Rani
Published: January 2025

Accurate rainfall prediction in India is crucial for agriculture, water management, and disaster preparedness, particularly due to the reliance on the southwest monsoon. This paper examines historical rainfall trends from 1901 to 2022, highlighting significant anomalies and changes identified through the Pettitt test. The effectiveness of advanced machine learning techniques is explored particularly the Artificial Neural Network-Multilayer Perceptron (ANN-MLP) in enhancing rainfall forecasting accuracy and compared with statistical methods. By integrating important climate variables—temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation into the ANN-MLP model, its ability to capture complex nonlinear relationships is demonstrated. Additionally, the analysis employs geo-statistical techniques, specifically Kriging, to visualize spatial-temporal rainfall variability across different regions in India. The findings emphasize the potential of modern computational methods to overcome traditional forecasting challenges, ultimately improving decision-making for agricultural planning and resource management in the face of climate variability.
Particle Swarm Optimization Based Hyper Integral Approach for Enhancing Software Quality
Authors: Mantena Jeevana Sujitha , Subrahmanyam Kodukula
Published: January 2025

Innovation and competitiveness in the software engineering sector have been booming recently. In order to stay in business, software companies need to provide affordable, high-quality software solutions on schedule. A crucial question is whether it is possible to obtain high-quality software products without negatively affecting development effort and cycle time for software developers. Longer cycle times and more development effort are the only ways to deploy software techniques to increase software quality, according to conventional ideas. Another school of thought holds that the understanding aging leader method, which is a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique, can simultaneously increase software quality, speed up software development cycles, and reduce developers' effort. A software program defect or bug occurs when a software system fails to meet a functional requirement as stated in the standard specifications or as per the acceptable end-user requirements, even if those requirements are not explicitly mentioned. Integrating quality assurance procedures into every step of the software development lifecycle is the main focus of the Hyper Integral Approach to software quality. By bridging the gap between development and quality assurance, this methodology hopes to boost collaboration, guarantee continuous testing, and raise software quality generally. This research proposes a Hyper Integral Approach (HIA) using Particle Swarm Optimization for enhancing software quality (HIA-PSO-ESQ). The proposed model provides a quality software in less time when contrasted to traditional methods.

Published: January 2025

The rapid evolution of smart systems, including Internet of Things (IoT) devices, smart grids, and autonomous vehicles, has led to the need for efficient resource management to optimize performance, reduce energy consumption, and enhance system reliability. This paper presents adaptive computational intelligence (CI) algorithms as an effective solution for addressing the dynamic challenges in resource management for smart systems. Specifically, we explore the application of techniques such as fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and neural networks to adaptively manage resources like energy, bandwidth, processing power, and storage in real-time. These CI algorithms offer robust decision-making capabilities, enabling smart systems to efficiently allocate resources based on environmental changes, system demands, and user preferences. The paper discusses the integration of these algorithms with real-time data acquisition systems, providing a framework for adaptive and scalable resource management. Additionally, we evaluate the performance of these algorithms in various smart environments, highlighting their ability to optimize system efficiency, reduce operational costs, and improve the overall user experience. The proposed approach demonstrates significant improvements over traditional resource management techniques, making it a promising solution for next-generation smart systems.

Use of L1 in the higher education classroom
Authors: Mendoza Gonzalez Maria de los Angeles
Published: January 2025

The use of the L1 in the classroom is an issue that all teachers have faced because it is not clear when and how to use the first language when teaching a second language. In this order of ideas, this descriptive research has been conducted to determine how and when professors of higher education use the first language when teaching English as a second language. The population are 22 professors working with young adults and adults belonging to bachelor´s degree at public universities and Language Centers in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, México. The instrument applied is a survey applied online, with five questions. The results conclude that not all the professors use the first language in the classroom and think the use of the L1 is incorrect because does not promote the L2 in the students and the students do not have enough practice. On the other hand, most of the teachers that participated in this research agree with the use of L1 for explanations; and to save time, especially when the groups are large, overall, when the students are beginners. This discussion continues open moreover about the length of time the teachers should use or do not use the L1 during the lessons because according to the data obtained, some of the professors use the L1 less than 15 minutes, but the media is around 15-30 minutes average in an hour, which could represent a problem. Then, it is important to reflect on the topic to learn how to deal with it and take the best decision to improve the students’ confidence and knowledge of the L2.
Apostándole al arte como fundamento de las apuestas lúdico-pedagógicas: Un camino hacia la inclusión y el fortalecimiento de la equidad educativa en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje
Authors: Guevara Lasso Alejandra , Oyola Juan Guillermo , Aguas Briyith Brisbana
Published: January 2025

El ámbito educativo, puntualmente en el sector rural, se ha visto seriamente afectado por un sistema educativo que los rige a todos por igual, pero que desafortunadamente no garantiza una educación con los mismos beneficios para todos y todas, desde el reconocimiento de la diversidad y la equidad como pilares en el accionar docente e institucional.
La presente apuesta investigativa nace entonces desde el interés por fortalecer los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje con estudiantes en edades de 6 a 8 años que presentan dificultades del aprendizaje de la Institución educativa rural El Poblado del Municipio de Puerto Asís, a través de la guía lúdico-pedagógica “EquiGuía”, buscando favorecer así, la equidad educativa. La investigación se realiza bajo un enfoque Cualitativo, que permita de manera confiable hallar la información a partir de la lectura de la realidad, corroborando los resultados, y ejecutando una propuesta de acción, para finalmente valorar la efectividad de las acciones gestadas y realizar un proceso y análisis reflexivo del proceso, todo ello bajo la mirada de la Investigación acción participante.
De otro lado, la apuesta investigativa permitió reconocer aportes sobre la importancia de la educación en el ámbito social; para comprender las realidades de la educación rural desde el reconocimiento de la diversidad y la equidad como pilares en el accionar docente e institucional, se debe dar una mirada holística al fenómeno.Por lo anterior, se considera como elemento principal de las estrategias de enseñanza y aprendizaje, el desarrollo de los procesos de aula, a través de métodos lúdicos, estos resaltan elementos pedagógicos positivos, debido a sus características: la variedad en los procesos pedagógicos, didácticas divertidas, goce de las actividades, entre otros, que generan ambientes de aprendizaje agradables a las y los estudiantes mientras desarrollan habilidades cognitivas como capacidad de análisis, reflexión, interpretación y co-construcción de contenidos, algo que puede ser casi imposible de adquirir con técnicas tradicionales de estudio.
En concordancia, sin duda el desinterés de los estudiantes, se debe convertir  en un elemento preocupante para los docentes ya que es un indicador de la baja efectividad de los actuales procesos pedagógicos, a los estudiantes se les debe motivar, incentivar y estimular con estrategias lúdico-pedagógicas acorde a sus características, intereses y/o necesidades, pero las estrategias tradicionales y rutinarias, solo han generado desánimo y desinterés por parte de los estudiantes a su entorno escolar, quienes deben ser la mayor motivación para la generación estudiantes integrales con capacidades y habilidad que les permita desarrollarse de la manera más adecuada en sociedad.

Published: January 2025

El estudio con respecto de las organizaciones no puede llevarse a cabo de manera exclusiva desde el paradigma positivo, sino que requiere de manera imprescindible, analizar a las organizaciones a partir de la complejidad en la que se encuentran sumergidas. Lo anterior con el propósito de identificar los actos de la vida simbólica, su cultura y los discursos que emplean sus agentes operativos (los sujetos sociales) para que las organizaciones sean funcionales y, a su vez, puedan existir por intermedio de las actividades de índole sociales que hay en su interior. Es por ello, que este escrito tiene por objeto llevar a cabo un análisis, a través de una actividad meramente intelectual, sobre algunas propuestas teórico-metodológicas que develan que los aspectos subjetivos; esto es; culturales, discursivos e ideológicos, juegan un papel crucial para la existencia de las organizaciones y, al mismo tiempo, dan la posibilidad de cumplir los objetivos previstos por dichos entes dinámicos: Las organizaciones.

Published: January 2025

En el primer año de cursado de las carreras proyectuales de Diseño y Arquitectura, el ayudante alumno cumple un papel fundamental en el acompañamiento de los ingresantes. No obstante, su rol presenta amplias distancias conceptuales entre la reglamentación que se dictamina desde el Consejo Superior de la institución con lo que se espera de su desempeño desde el cuerpo docente y las expectativas de los estudiantes. Durante el desarrollo del presente artículo se abordan algunas reflexiones relacionadas a sus funciones propias y atribuidas, ubicado en el ámbito del Taller de Arquitectura 1A (FAUD-UNSJ), materia inicial del área proyectual de la carrera de Arquitectura y Urbanismo. Se adopta una metodología cualitativa auto etnográfica con técnica principal de observación participante, centrada en la postura del ayudante alumno como sujeto activo en su formación inicial en docencia que analiza, selecciona y filtra los distintos accionares de cada uno de los participantes de la asignatura, reconociendo de manera crítica las diversas miradas y exigencias que yacen a su rol: desde la necesidad de asistencia al desarrollo de la clase, la instancia de consultas y la contención psico-emocional de los estudiantes. Se concluye que ser ayudante de cátedra implica una multiplicidad de tareas, que van más allá de la reglamentación institucional que designa el cargo, valorando principalmente el carácter de mediador entre docentes y estudiantes y su acompañamiento durante el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje.

Published: January 2025

Diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but the molecular mechanisms underlying diabetic vasculopathy have been elusive. Here we report that inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 (IP6K1) mediates hyperglycemia-induced endothelial senescence by rewiring the liver kinase B1 (LKB1) signaling from activating the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway to the p53 pathway. We found that hyperglycemia upregulated IP6K1, which disrupts the Hsp/Hsc70 and carboxyl terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP)-mediated LKB1 degradation, leading to increased expression levels of LKB1. High glucose also strengthens the binding of IP6K1 to AMPK, suppressing the LKB1-mediated AMPK activation. Thus, the elevated LKB1 does not lead to the activation of the AMPK pathway. Instead, it binds more to p53, resulting in p53-dependent endothelial senescence. Endothelial-specific deletion of IP6K1 alleviates, whereas endothelial-specific overexpression of IP6K1 exaggerates the hyperglycemia-induced endothelial senescence. This study reveals a regulatory mechanism of IP6K1 in switching the LKB1/AMPK pathway to LKB1/p53 pathway. IP6K1 represents a potential therapeutic target for treating hyperglycemia-induced endothelial dysfunction.

Mohs micrographic surgery is a recommended treatment for high-risk basal cell carcinoma, but long-term outcomes of Mohs micrographic surgery in Denmark are unknown. This study aimed to estimate the 5-year recurrence rate of basal cell carcinoma following Mohs micrographic surgery, and to investigate patient and procedure characteristics since the introduction of the procedure in Denmark. The Danish Registry for Mohs Surgery was established and all Mohs micrographic surgery cases nationwide from January 2012 to December 2022 were included. A total of 1,774 patients were included in the cohort, and 2,203 high-risk basal cell carcinomas were treated using Mohs micrographic surgery techniques. The overall 5-year recurrence of basal cell carcinoma following Mohs micrographic surgery was 3.8% (95% CI 2.8–5.0), 3.1% (95% CI 2.1–4.7) for primary basal cell carcinomas, and 5.3% (95% CI 3.6–7.8) for recurrent basal cell carcinomas. The primary basal cell carcinomas showed a tendency towards lower recurrence rates and better surgical outcomes than recurrent basal cell carcinomas, although not significantly. The recurrence rate estimates correspond to international levels, supporting Mohs micrographic surgery as a treatment option for high-risk basal cell carcinomas in Danish dermatological practice. The newly established patient registry serves as a cohort for future research in this field.

Smart-Alloying enables local modification of the chemical composition of metallic components within additive manufacturing processes. This new method represents an innovative process for localized grading of metallic materials in laser-based additive manufacturing. Smart-Alloying involves applying nanoparticulate alloying elements onto the surfaces of additive manufactured components in precise doses using suspensions. The method is shown here using laser powder bed fusion as an example. By coating the base material powder and exposing it to the laser source, localized modifications in chemical composition and altered properties can be achieved. Using a chromium-rich ferritic stainless steel, significant alterations in the fundamental microstructure are attained through localized re-alloying of carbon. Investigation utilizing focused ion beam-scanning electron microscope elucidates the evolution of increasing carbon content within the re-alloyed area. Next to the formation of chromium-rich carbides and ultrafine regions of needle-like martensite, retained austenite could be made visible. Transmission electron microscopy investigations proved these findings and revealed mainly α-ferritic microstructure with small γ-austenitic grains as well as the presence of chromium-rich carbides on the main grain boundaries. The completely renewed microstructure is then further modified using secondary exposures of the laser source. Under the influence of the subsequent melting process, there is an increasing distribution of the re-alloyed carbon, resulting in a completely new structure of a line-shaped duplex microstructure. The integration of secondary exposure introduces a completely novel aspect, offering the potential to merge localized grading via Smart-Alloying with targeted applications of laser parameters.

Saat ini telah banyak terjadi kerusakan lingkungan yang disebabkan oleh ekpolitasi sumber daya alam yang berlebihan oleh manusia. Lingkungan hidup erat kaitannya dengan manusia, hewan, tumbuhan, dan berbagai jenis makhluk hidup lainnya. Manusia dan makhluk hidup lainnya memiliki ketergantungan terhadap lingkungan melalui proses dan interkasi kehidupan dan saling membutuhkan satu sama lain. Meski demikian, masih terdapat kelompok warga yang berada di daerah yang masih menjaga lingkungan melalui kearifan lokal yang terus dipertahankan hingga saat ini. Salah satunya kelompok warga yang terdapat di Desa Ciwarna Kecamatan Mancak Kabupaten Serang, Banten yang mana lokasinya berdekatan dengan aliran sungai di kawasan Cagar Alam Rawa Danau (CARD). Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian dengan pendekatan kualitatif yaitu melalui teknik wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Desa Bulakan, Kecamatan Mancak, Kabupaten Serang, Banten. Tahapan pada penelitian dimulai dari persiapan, studi pendahuluan, wawancara, observasi, pengolahan dan analisis data. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kearifan lokal memberikan dampak yang baik terhadap kelestarian sumber air, flora dan fauna di kawasan Cagar Alam Rawa Danau.
