Exploring the Nexus between Macroeconomic Variables and Stock Market Returns in Nepal: An ARDL Bounds Testing Approach
Authors: Shrestha Purna Man , Rana Mahesh
Published: December 2024

Background: Investors and policymakers must understand how macroeconomic variables (MEVs) affect stock market behavior to maximize portfolios and maintain economic stability. Hence, it is crucial to establish a nexus between MEVs and stock market returns (SMRs).
Objectives: This study seeks to assess the effects of MEV on SMRs in the long and short run.
Methods: This paper analyzed the cointegrating relationship between MEVs and SMRs using a time series data set from 1994 to 2023. This study used the ARDL bounds testing approach.
Results: The results confirm a cointegrating association between MEVs and SMRs in the Nepalese stock market. The error correction (ECT -1) term is significantly negative, suggesting a persistent correlation between the variables. The study also shows that interest rates negatively affect SMRs over time. Real GDP (LRGDP), inflation (LINFR), and exchange rate (LEXR) have negative but statistically insignificant associations with SMRs. However, the money supply (LMS) positively correlates with SMRs.
Conclusion: The study’s findings provide practical advice for policymakers. For instance, lower interest rates increase the appeal of stocks by reducing the opportunity costs of holding bank deposits and credit costs. Therefore, policymakers are advised to maintain lower interest rates to cultivate a more appealing investment environment. Furthermore, policymakers should prioritize regulating inflation and preserving a robust foreign exchange rate to boost investors’ SMRs.
An Economic Impact Analysis of the Covid-19 Pandemic in the Nepalese Tourism Sector
Authors: Chaudhary Shashi Kant
Published: December 2024

Background: A considerable number of studies in the Nepalese context have revealed that Nepal’s tourism sector has been adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic; however, none of these studies have quantified these consequences in monetary terms. This assessment is expected to offer valuable insight for enhancing the resilience of tourism sector to future global disruptions and developing tailored policies to bolster the Nepalese tourism sector against external shocks.
Objectives: This study addresses a critical gap in understanding the full economic ramifications of the Covid-19 pandemic in the Nepalese tourism sector by quantifying the primary, secondary and tertiary revenue losses. By providing a comprehensive assessment of the pandemic’s impact, this study aims to inform policymakers and industry stakeholders in developing tailored strategies for recovery and resilience.
Methods: Secondary data are used in this study. It employs Stynes et al.’s (2000) revised money generation framework and the Keynesian macroeconomic multiplier approach to assess the actual and expected economic impacts of tourism activities in Nepal during the pandemic periods of 2020 and 2021. The actual value is determined using the actual tourism statistics, while the expected value is based on the targeted tourism statistics reported by the Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation, Nepal. The difference between the two estimates is attributed to the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in those years.
Results: This study reveals an expected revenue decrease of 1.038 billion US dollars in 2020 and 1.309 billion US dollars in 2021. In addition, the tourism multiplier values are declining in Nepal over the observed years.
Conclusion: This study provides two key conclusions. First, the Nepalese tourism sector is susceptible to travel restrictions. Second, tourism revenue is being drained from the local economy due to the increasing importation of merchandise and services to satisfy the Nepalese tourism sector’s demand.

Authors: Гнатюк Віталій , Підгурна Ольга
Published: December 2024

Мета. Дослідити стійкість підготовчої гірничої виробки при способі охорони литою смугою для створення безпечних умов праці та підвищення ефективності вуглевидобутку на виїмковій дільниці.
Методи. Виконано шахтні інструментальні спостереження конвергенції бічних порід на контурі підготовчої виробки з урахуванням відмов аркового піддатливого кріплення.
Результати. Експлуатаційний стан підготовчої виробки забезпечується на відстані l ≤ 40 м позаду очисного вибою. Перетин підготовчої виробки на цій дільниці зменшується до 15%, а частота відмов аркового піддатливого кріплення при відстані між рамами 0,6 м дорівнює w = 0,22. Зі збільшенням протяжності виробки коли l ≥ 60 м, втрати площі поперечного перерізу становлять 28-30%, а частота відмов кріплення збільшується в 1,5-2 рази. При відносній деформації охоронної споруди ε > 0,3 спостерігається збільшення приросту зсувів покрівлі на контурі виробки до величини ≥ 35 мм. Кріплення виробки деформується. Несуча здатність литої смуги знижується і стійкість виробки погіршується.
Новизна. З урахуванням відносної деформації охоронної споруди по довжині виїмкової дільниці встановлено вид функціональної залежності, що дозволяє оцінити кількість відмови аркового піддатливого кріплення підготовчої виробки в умовах, коли статистика однофакторного дисперсійного аналізу пошкоджень типового кріпилення має стандартний нормальний розподіл.
Практична значимість. Охорона підготовчих гірничих виробок литими смугами забезпечує експлуатаційний стан штреків у межах деформаційного ресурсу охоронних споруд.
Ключові слова: підготовча виробка, виїмкова дільниця, експлуатаційний стан, аркове кріплення, приріст зміщень бічних порід, несуча здатність охоронних споруд, безпека праці.

Diverse Effects of Corporate Governance and Intellectual Capital on Audit Quality: A Quantile Regression Technique in Pakistan
Authors: Javed Arshad , Gulzar Tahir Imran , Shafi Haroon
Published: December 2024

In a world that has seen increased emphasis being placed on Corporate Governance (CG) and Intellectual Capital (IC) to determine the credibility of firms, this research seeks to establish the interrelation between CG, IC, and Audit Quality (AQ) of non-financial firms operating in the PSX. This study incorporates quantile regression to investigate the effects of the CG factors – Board Size (BS), Board Independence (BI), and Ownership Concentration (OC) – and the IC dimensions, including Research and Development (RD), Employee Training (ET), and Relational Capital (RC), on AQ. Interestingly, results indicate that solid board features and specific IC spending significantly boost AQ, which is more so at greater AQ. The positive increase in both BI and OC complements enhanced governance and oversight processes; good relational capital and adequate training of employees further speak to the need for strategic investment in improving sound audit practices.

Precise anatomical implantation of a microelectrode array is fundamental for successful brain-computer interface (BCI) surgery, ensuring high-quality, robust signal communication between the brain and the computer interface. Robotic neurosurgery can contribute to this goal, but its application in BCI surgery has been underexplored. Here, the authors present a novel robot-assisted surgical technique to implant rigid intracortical microelectrode arrays for the BCI. Using this technique, the authors performed surgery in a 31-year-old male with tetraplegia due to a traumatic C4 spinal cord injury that occurred a decade earlier. Each of the arrays was embedded into the parenchyma with a single insertion without complication. Postoperative imaging verified that the devices were placed as intended. With the motor cortex arrays, the participant successfully accomplished 2D control of a virtual arm and hand, with a success rate of 20 of 20 attempts, and recording quality was maintained at 100 and 200 days postimplantation. Intracortical microstimulation of the somatosensory cortex arrays elicited sensations in the fingers and palm. A robotic neurosurgery technique was successfully translated into BCI device implantation as part of an early feasibility trial with the long-term goal of restoring upper-limb function. The technique was demonstrated to be accurate and subsequently contributed to high-quality signal communication.

Published: December 2024

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to evaluate local control (LC) of tumors, patient overall survival (OS), and the safety of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for esophageal cancer brain metastases (EBMs).

METHODS

This retrospective cohort study used data from 15 International Radiosurgery Research Foundation facilities encompassing 67 patients with 185 EBMs managed using SRS between January 2000 and May 2022. The median patient age was 63 years, with a male predominance (92.5%). Most patients (64.2%) had a single brain metastasis, while 7.5% had more than 5 metastases. The median tumor volume was 0.9 cm3, and the median margin dose delivered to the tumor was 20 Gy.

RESULTS

The median OS post-SRS was 15.2 months, with 1- and 2-year OS rates of 65.7% and 32.3%, respectively. A significant inverse correlation was found between the number of EBMs and OS in the univariable analysis. LC rates at 1 and 2 years were 89% and 76%, respectively. Adverse radiation effects (AREs) were observed in 17.9% of patients, with 13.4% being mild and transient and 4.5% severely symptomatic (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 3). New intracranial disease developed in 58.2% of patients, with 1- and 2-year rates of 58% and 73%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

SRS for EBMs demonstrated high survival rates and effective tumor control, with a low incidence of severe AREs. These findings highlight the potential role of SRS in the multidisciplinary multimodality management paradigm of EBM.
External validation of the Spinal Infection Treatment Evaluation score: a single-center 19-year review of de novo spinal infections

Published: December 2024

OBJECTIVE

The escalating incidence of de novo spinal infections poses a substantial neurological impact on patients. This has prompted a growing interest in discerning which patients would derive greater benefit from medical as opposed to surgical management of these occurrences. The authors assessed the predictive applicability of the Spinal Infection Treatment Evaluation (SITE) score in discerning between surgical intervention and medical management. This assessment represents the first external validation of the SITE score conducted in a cohort of patients with de novo spinal infections.

METHODS

A comprehensive retrospective chart review was conducted to identify patients diagnosed with de novo spinal infections (osteomyelitis, discitis, or epidural abscess) at a tertiary center between July 1, 2004, and March 31, 2023. All necessary data for calculating the SITE score were collected for each patient. Surgical intervention was advised for patients scoring 0–8 or exhibiting acute plegia or bladder or bowel dysfunction and optional for those scoring 9–12; medical treatment was recommended for patients scoring 13–15. Predictability of the score was scrutinized using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

RESULTS

Among 194 identified patients, the mean ± SD age was 65.96 ± 13.66 years and 58% were men. Stratification of patients based on medical and surgical management revealed that 27% underwent medical treatment alone and 73% required surgical intervention. In the medical group, 72.2% of patients were neurologically intact compared to 50% in the surgical group (p = 0.006). Surgically managed patients exhibited a higher incidence of spinal stenosis with impingement of the spinal cord, with or without deformity, when compared to nonsurgical patients (38.6% vs 22.2%, p = 0.04). Additionally, surgically managed patients had a lower mean ± SD SITE score (7.16 ± 2.39 vs 8.2 ± 2.33, p < 0.005) and were more likely to have multilevel infection than patients who underwent medical management (59.3% vs 33.3%, p < 0.001). When patients were categorized on the basis of SITE score, the sensitivity of the score (using a threshold of 8) to predict surgical management was 68.6% and specificity was 59.3%. According to ROC curve, the SITE score exhibited an AUC of 0.66.

CONCLUSIONS

Validation of the SITE score could not accurately predict medical versus surgical management in a tertiary center cohort of patients with de novo spinal infections. Further multicenter studies incorporating additional variables and larger cohorts are imperative to develop an optimal predictive tool.
Identification of the optimal thresholds for the hypoperfusion intensity ratio in moyamoya disease
Authors: Wang Liuxian , Han Dongshan , Liao Ming , Zha Jing , Li Lei , Fan Huagang , Wei Wenfeng , Ji Xiaoqian , Xie Anming
Published: December 2024

OBJECTIVE

The authors’ objective was to retrospectively compare two methods for defining the hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR) in moyamoya disease (MMD) by using hypoperfused volumes calculated from time to maximum of the residue function (Tmax) thresholds of 10 seconds/4 seconds and 10 seconds/6 seconds.

METHODS

All hemispheres were categorized into normal, ischemic, and hemorrhagic groups. Hypoperfused volumes were calculated using Tmax thresholds of 10 seconds, 6 seconds, and 4 seconds. HIR was computed as Tmax > 10 seconds/Tmax > 4 seconds (HIR10/4) and Tmax > 10 seconds/Tmax > 6 seconds (HIR10/6). Angiographic collaterals were assessed using CT perfusion (CTP)–sourced images (CTP-sis). The 3-month clinical follow-up included primary outcomes (survival or death) and secondary outcomes (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] and Katz activities of daily living [ADL] scale scores). Multivariate logistic regression and correlation analyses were conducted.

RESULTS

Thirty patients (54 hemispheres) were included. Patients with poor primary outcomes exhibited higher rates of hypertension (p = 0.015), larger hypoperfused volumes, and elevated HIR10/4 and HIR10/6 (p < 0.001). The regression model with HIR10/4 outperformed that with HIR10/6 for predicting primary outcomes (Z = 2.02, p = 0.044). Both HIR10/4 and HIR10/6 correlated with mRS and ADL scores (p < 0.05). Although there was no correlation between HIR and CTP-sis when all hemispheres were included, a significant association was found between HIR10/4 and CTP-sis when hemispheres with hemorrhagic lesions were excluded (p = 0.013).

CONCLUSIONS

HIR10/4 exhibited a superior predictive value for primary outcomes in MMD compared to HIR10/6. Additionally, HIR10/4 showed a significant association with angiographic collaterals, particularly in ischemic MMD cases. This study suggested that HIR defined as Tmax > 10 seconds/Tmax > 4 seconds may be more suitable than Tmax > 10 seconds/Tmax > 6 seconds in MMD.

Authors: Santos Arias Aldo
Published: December 2024

La complejidad y persistencia de la conflictividad social en Perú afecta los derechos humanos, la gobernabilidad democrática, la economía y la cultura de paz. Aunque existen avances en la gestión de información y diálogo, el Estado carece de un sistema efectivo para prevenir y manejar conflictos, lo que ha resultado en desenlaces violentos. Esta responsabilidad se extiende a los gobiernos regionales y locales, cuyas capacidades para la gestión de conflictos son limitadas. La sociedad, organizada en iniciativas conjuntas, también tiene un papel crucial en este ámbito.
En ese marco, IDEA Internacional, presenta el análisis de la conflictividad social en el ámbito de la región Junín con el objetivo de aportar información para reconstruir puentes para el diálogo constructivo y eficaz, en la búsqueda de soluciones consensuadas y pacíficas a la actual crisis política del país.
La conflictividad social en la región La Libertad
Authors: Guevara Tello Carlos Andrés
Published: December 2024

El departamento de La Libertad fue creado el 12 de febrero del 1821 con el nombre de Trujillo. Más adelante, adoptó el nombre de La Libertad, con capital denominada “ciudad de Bolívar”, que, en 1827, hasta la actualidad, cambiaría para denominarse Trujillo. A partir de este departamento, se formaron los de Amazonas, Cajamarca, Lambayeque y Piura. Por su ubicación, La Libertad ha sido centro de comercio, tránsito entre las zonas del norte del país con el centro, sur y regiones amazónicas, así como escenario del desarrollo cultural Moche, Chimú, Huamachuco, entre otras culturas prehispánicas, lo cual le otorga una riqueza cultural invaluable.
El objetivo de este informe es presentar a La Libertad desde la perspectiva del análisis de la conflictividad social, que nos permite una mejor comprensión de los problemas estructurales, mediatos e inmediatos que afectan a la población, tales como la pobreza, la falta de acceso a servicios básicos, la exclusión social, los problemas derivados de la falta de fiscalización y control, o del propio relacionamiento entre empresas y comunidades. Además, este análisis permite identificar las demandas y expectativas de los distintos grupos sociales, lo cual es esencial para la formulación de políticas públicas que promuevan la paz, la democracia y el desarrollo sostenible.

The article considers issues related to managing the innovative development of territories. It is established that one of the modern trends in the development of society is the widespread use of digital technologies, which have become a necessary means of livelihood and improvement of services and business processes in all spheres of public life. The effectiveness of digitalization and effective change management leads to the need to apply innovative development strategies and contributes to obtaining competitive advantages and stable market positions. Creating an innovative high-tech environment with a developed information and communication infrastructure is a characteristic feature of the smart city concept, which determines the growth of investment in innovation. It is stated that the search for effective mechanisms for managing the innovative development of territories is a relevant task. The purpose of the article is to develop recommendations for the formation of an innovative strategy for the development of territories in the context of taking into account the trend of the smart city concept. Digitalization leads to the widespread use of various technical devices for data collection, and their subsequent processing is done using modern methods. This necessitates the development of appropriate strategies for innovative development of territories. For their effective implementation, it is recommended to use the scenario forecasting toolkit, which, based on retrospective analysis, allows an increase in the ability of the regional innovation system to respond to challenges and disturbances on time. To fully and comprehensively realize the potential of territories, it is proposed that smart specialization be widely used as an effective tool for regional development. The smart specialization strategy is a powerful tool for implementing innovations, especially for "depressed" regions, which will contribute to their reaching a new level of development.

Authors: MAKATORA Alona , MAKATORA Dmytro , ZENKIN Mykola , KUBANOV Ruslan
Published: December 2024

In order to increase the efficiency of economic activity of printing companies, the authors of the study have identified the following features and promising directions: reorientation of management tasks for the development of printing companies in order to ensure their competitiveness; determination of strategic directions of development of printing companies; optimisation of the appropriate level of information, resource and organisational support of printing companies for the successful implementation of development strategies; diversification of activities of printing enterprises; corporatisation of printing enterprises; ensuring investment development of printing industry enterprises. The implementation of strategies aimed at optimising processes, reducing costs, using advanced technologies and increasing the efficiency of interaction with consumers is the reorientation of management tasks for the development of printing companies in order to ensure their competitiveness. The strategic directions for the development of printing companies include: European integration, improvement of product quality in accordance with international standards, use of information technology to optimise production processes, innovation, expansion of production links, environmental friendliness and solving the problem of qualified personnel. The successful implementation of development strategies depends on optimising the appropriate level of information, resources and organisational support for the activities of printing companies. Information support is concerned with determining strategic directions through the analysis of internal and external information. The focus of resource support is on the efficient management of resources for the achievement of production efficiency. Organisational support involves creating an effective structure and motivating staff. Diversifying printing businesses in the current environment requires adopting the latest technologies and using information and communication technologies. This makes it possible to expand the range of products, increase the efficiency of production, optimise management and improve customer relations. The corporatisation of printing companies is important for business development, enabling companies to consolidate, implement large projects and expand markets. The integration of ICT contributes to the optimisation of production processes, the improvement of management efficiency and the creation of competitive advantages for printing companies. Using ICT in the printing industry plays a key role in increasing the attractiveness of companies to invest. The integration of ICT enables the optimisation of internal processes. It reduces costs, develops innovation and attracts new investors.
Comment faire science autrement a l’ere de l’anthropocene? D’un geste ethique et politique en vue d’une epistemologie de la relation
Authors: Delory-Momberger Christine
Published: December 2024

Il s’agit de redéfinir pour le courant de la recherche biographique – tout comme l’ensemble des sciences humaines et sociales - un positionnement épistémologique, éthique et politique face aux questionnements que suscitent les phénomènes anthropiques mettant en question les formes de vie et les conditions d’habitabilité de la Terre. La conscience de l’impact des activités humaines sur les écosystèmes terrestres et la redécouverte, à cette occasion, des interdépendances et des solidarités entre les vivants au sein d’un monde, sur un sol qui leur est commun, nous fait figurer ou refigurer que nous appartenons à la Terre. Ce déplacement et l’affirmation de cet ancrage nous amènent à repenser l’art et la manière de faire science autrement et à préciser une disposition éthique et politique en même temps qu’un concept critique propres à fonder un cadre interprétatif de conduite et de pensée dans notre courant de recherche biographique, définie comme une science du singulier.
Sur les chemins des récits de vie en sciences de l’éducation : intégration interdisciplinaire et rapport aux savoirs
Authors: Bernard Marie-Claude
Published: December 2024

Les approches biographiques en sciences de l’éducation sont largement déployées. Initialement employées en histoire, en anthropologie et en sociologie, les méthodes biographiques étaient valorisées notamment parce qu’elles permettent le recueil de « matériau » de choix ainsi que la réalisation d’études de terrains qui ne peuvent être explorés à fond par d’autres méthodes. En sciences de l’éducation, leurs contributions diversifiées s’étendent autant en recherche qu’en formation. Elles ont montré la complémentarité entre théorie et pratique et elles sont favorables à l’intégration interdisciplinaire. Dans cette contribution, je présenterai d’abord des voies empruntées en employant des récits de vie en sciences de l’éducation, autant en recherche qu’en formation. Je présenterai par la suite quelques exemples qui montrent leur intégration dans des approches interdisciplinaires. Si les approches biographiques mobilisées en histoire, en littérature et en sciences de l’éducation partagent les formes narratives et convoquent la mémoire, des distinctions sont à prendre en compte. Dans la dernière partie, je convoquerai le rapport aux savoirs sous les axes épistémologique, axiologique et praxéologique afin de réfléchir à ces distinctions. Cette réflexion aboutit au dégagement de trois considérations dans la mise en œuvre de précautions d’usage. En conclusion, j’exprimerai le point de vue qui explique que les approches biographiques en sciences de l’éducation manifestent une « insubordination » en recherche, une promotion de la démocratie, qui passe par la démocratisation des savoirs, ainsi qu’une valorisation de la diversité des modes de vie.
O ensino “imaginado” por Pestalozzi na obra Como Gertrudes ensina suas crianças
Authors: Cândido Renata Marcílio
Published: December 2024

O estudo das ideias pedagógicas tem-se valido de obras de naturezas bastante diversas para tratar das teorizações sobre o ensino ao longo da história da educação e, entre elas, destacam-se os textos literários produzidos por pedagogistas em diferentes contextos sociais e históricos. Considerando o potencial e a atualidade para refletir sobre as questões do ensino, retomamos neste simpósio a obra Como Gertrudes ensina suas crianças (1801) de Pestalozzi, cujo ato de leitura assemelha-se ao de uma decifração literária, especialmente, por tratar-se de uma obra de ficção que pretende discutir sobre o saber como ensinar. Pestalozzi apresenta em seu livro por meio de 14 cartas dirigidas ao amigo e editor Heinrich Gessner o seu método de ensino, suas teorias sobre a educação e prescrições para a prática docente. Tem-se que Pestalozzi, suas experiências e seus escritos contribuíram para delimitar questões importantes sobre a organização da escola moderna representada, por exemplo, no desenvolvimento do método intuitivo e na implementação das escolas graduadas, consideradas símbolos da modernidade pedagógica. A escola graduada se caracteriza por um conjunto de ideias que vão se organizando no decorrer do século XIX sobre as melhores formas de instruir as novas gerações. Desse modo, a comunicação que compõe este simpósio almeja, por um lado, dialogar com a obra pedagógica de Pestalozzi, situando suas potencialidades formativas e de figuração dos problemas educativos; por outro, pretende refletir a respeito da natureza do conhecimento pedagógico na literatura pedagógica.
Formação em música: lugares, espaços e tempos histórico-sociais
Authors: Mateiro Teresa
Published: December 2024

Apresento e discuto este trabalho a respeito do que foi instituído (e, ainda é) como concepção do saber musical em cursos de formação docente, assim como experiências instituintes com música em práticas educacionais. Para tanto, organizei este texto em três partes. Na primeira, teço aproximações conceituais entre instituído-instituinte e colonial-decolonial e, consequentemente, estabeleço relações entre o que já está dado e procura se manter, e a força de experiências instituintes que anseiam por mudanças. Em seguida, dou ênfase à colonialidade musical instituída, destacando a predominância da partitura para a execução de obras musicais, de determinados instrumentos musicais em detrimento de outros, bem como da seleção do repertório, permitido e fidedigno, por grupos organizados que estão no seio das instituições, onde processos de aprendizagem e socialização são efetuados. Na terceira parte, descrevo e analiso experiências musicais instituintes e decoloniais. Escolhi fontes de diferentes contextos para evidenciar práticas pedagógico-musicais vivas, a partir de experiências docentes: a primeira, é a história da professora Leda Maffioletti (Pedrollo, 2022, 2023; Pedrollo; Mateiro, 2023); e, a segunda, a do professor Jorge Aníbal Coral Guerrón (Salgado Pereira, 2023). Concluo, enumerando semelhanças e diferenças existentes entre os dois casos. Por um lado, a formação musical em culturas distintas, contato e aprendizagem da música por meio do “tocar de ouvido”, o acordeom como instrumento principal, estudos musicais em faculdades de música, onde o repertório ocidental europeu foi o pressuposto para ser professor e professora; e, por outro, experiências instituintes realizadas pela professora brasileira no contexto da escola de Educação Básica e pelo professor colombiano no entorno universitário, destacando a presença da música e de instrumentos musicais da cultura popular.
Escrever para existir e resistir: narrativas de si de mulheres privadas de liberdade no jornal só isso!
Authors: Tavares Daiane
Published: December 2024

Utilizando como fonte de pesquisa o jornal Só Isso!, produzido por internas da Penitenciária Talavera Bruce, localizada na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, o presente trabalho busca trazer à tona parte da trajetória dessas mulheres por meio de suas escritas e contribuir para a reflexão acerca das vicissitudes do encarceramento feminino. Por meio dessas narrativas que nascem do encarceramento, apenadas resistem e expressam suas existências em um contexto desumanizador que busca apagar suas experiências e sentimentos. Tal impresso circulou entre os anos de 2004 e 2008, e se configurou como uma possibilidade de garantir trabalho para as internas e uma forma de desabafar, amenizar a solidão e relatar as dificuldades da vida no cárcere. Diante do exposto, trago para a discussão os temas de grande presença no jornal que dizem respeito à maternidade na prisão, às práticas religiosas, e à luta desses sujeitos por melhores condições de vida. O impresso Só Isso! representou um avanço no sentido de possibilitar que, a partir da escrita, essas mulheres fossem capazes de aliviar suas tensões, transmitir uma ideia de si, reinterpretar suas vidas na busca pela reconstrução de suas histórias, na medida em que refletiram sobre sua condição de apenadas e projetaram um futuro melhor para além dos muros e grades da prisão.

Published: December 2024

Coffee is a type of plantation plant that has long been cultivated so that it has high economic value. Therefore, the authors are interested in approximating the amount of coffee production using the Adams Basforth Moulton method. The Adams Bashforth Moulton method is a way of finding a numerical solution at a certain point of a non-linear differential equation with a known initial value. The differential equation is first solved using the fourth-order Runge Kutta method to obtain four initial solutions which are then substituted into the fourth order Adams Bashforth predictor equation. Furthermore, the approximation value is corrected using the fourth-order Adams Moulton corrector equation. If the relative error is less than the stopping criterion , then the iteration is stopped. The iterations are performed 25 times with an interval of [0,25]. The results of the approximation using the Adams Bashforth Moulton method on the Verhults equation in the approximation show that every year the amount of production increases. The results of the total coffee production in Aceh Province in 2022 will reach 71468 tons and in 2023 it will reach 72966 tons and in 2024 it will reach 74465 tons.
