This research aims to identify patterns of social media usage, evaluate the effectiveness of social media campaigns, and explore the role of social media in voter education. This research discusses the influence of social media on public participation in the 2024 elections in Indonesia. Social media has become one of the main tools in political communication, both for candidates, political parties, and voters. This study uses a mixed-methods approach with surveys of 500 respondents from various regions in Indonesia, complemented by content analysis of political campaigns on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. The level of voter participation who are actively engaged in online political discussions is also proven to be higher compared to those who are less active on social media. The issues found in the field include: 1. What are the social media platforms most commonly used by the public in the context of elections? 2. How is social media used to educate voters about political issues, candidates, and the electoral process? 3. What are the main challenges faced in using social media for electoral participation? The research method used is the quantitative method. This method involves the collection of data that can be measured and statistically analyzed. The research results show that social media plays a significant role in increasing political awareness among the public, especially among young voters. However, the research also found that information disseminated through social media is often unverified, which can negatively influence public opinion.
El rol de APEC en la reconfiguración económica: Desafíos y oportunidades en el siglo XXI para economías emergentes
Authors: Quezada Chambilla Magly Noely
Published: January 2025

La reconfiguración económica en el siglo XXI está marcada por transformaciones impulsadas por factores como la digitalización, el cambio climático, la geopolítica y la automatización. Estas dinámicas están modificando los modelos de comercio y producción, promoviendo economías más resilientes y sostenibles, aunque con nuevos desafíos como la competencia por recursos y la desigualdad. En este contexto, el Foro de Cooperación Económica Asia-Pacífico (APEC) ha sido crucial en fomentar el libre comercio y la integración en la región Asia-Pacífico. Para Perú, APEC es una plataforma clave para promover sus intereses económicos. Sin embargo, el foro enfrenta retos derivados de la rivalidad tecnológica-comercial entre China y Estados Unidos (EE. UU.): el cambio climático y las tensiones geopolíticas, que podrían afectar sus objetivos. De esta manera, este artículo explora las iniciativas, desafíos y oportunidades dentro de APEC, resaltando la necesidad de que sus miembros se adapten a estos cambios, ya que esta parece ser una característica de las relaciones económicas internacionales en el futuro.

Authors: Staszewska Patricia Pilar
Published: January 2025

El Foro de Cooperación Económica Asia-Pacífico (APEC) ha sido indispensable para la transformación económica de Perú desde su incorporación en 1998, al facilitar inversiones extranjeras y fomentar asociaciones público-privadas. La mejora de la infraestructura es indispensable para el desarrollo económico sostenible, y el foro ha apoyado proyectos significativos como la Línea 2 del Metro de Lima y la ampliación del Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez, los cuales tienen el potencial de mejorar la conectividad y la movilidad en el país, y de posicionar a Perú como un centro logístico competitivo en la región Asia-Pacífico. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar cómo APEC ha contribuido al desarrollo de la infraestructura en el país a través de proyectos como los enunciados. Se realizaron encuestas a 76 usuarios actuales de la Línea 1 del Metro de Lima y 76 usuarios del Aeropuerto Jorge Chávez para obtener percepciones sobre las expectativas y la satisfacción con estos proyectos. Las encuestas midieron variables como frecuencia de uso, satisfacción con la infraestructura actual y percepción sobre las mejoras futuras, sin que esto implique la evaluación directa del rol de APEC en su desarrollo. Dentro de los hallazgos más relevantes, se encuentra que el 72.4% de los usuarios del metro espera que la Línea 2 mejore la movilidad en Lima, y el 64.5% planea utilizarla cuando esté operativa. En el caso del Aeropuerto Jorge Chávez, el 43.4% de los encuestados considera que su ampliación es importante para el crecimiento económico de Perú, aunque el 75% mantiene una percepción neutral sobre su impacto inmediato. Los resultados subrayan la importancia de las inversiones facilitadas por APEC para el desarrollo de infraestructura clave en Perú.
Bridges Across the Pacific: Peru-Philippines Foreign Policy and Trade Dynamics Five Decades After Diplomatic Relations
Authors: Osterloh Mejía María
Published: January 2025

Peru and the Philippines, linked by a shared Spanish colonial past, seek to deepen their bilateral relationship despite the geographical distance. Diplomatic relations between the two countries, formally established in 1974, have been intermittent, with closures and reopening of embassies. Currently, neither country has an embassy in the other.Regarding bilateral trade, it has grown in recent decades, albeit with moderate dynamism, but with great potential yet to be developed. Peruvian exports to the Philippines have concentrated on fishmeal and copper, while imports from the Philippines have been more diversified, with products of low and medium-high value added. Despite the growth, trade between the two countries is still relatively small compared to Peru's other trading partners in Asia.Although there is still no Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in place, the possible entry of the Philippines into the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), the recent first meeting of the bilateral consultation mechanism, the first meeting of Peru with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) under the framework of a development partner, and the interaction in multilateral mechanisms such as APEC and the Pacific Alliance are key elements to promote greater trade and strengthen ties between both nations.

Published: January 2025

Abstract: This study examines the role of the Language Acquisition Device (LAD) theory in second language acquisition within the context of Arabic language learning through a psycholinguistic perspective. Using a descriptive qualitative research method and a literature review approach, this research analyzes various relevant primary and secondary sources. The findings reveal that Noam Chomsky's LAD theory significantly impacts second language acquisition, particularly Arabic. LAD serves as an innate mechanism enabling humans to acquire languages naturally. In the context of Arabic learning, the implementation of LAD theory encompasses three primary factors: motivation, language, and social aspects. Psycholinguistic studies reveal that cognitive processes such as memory and information processing play pivotal roles in acquiring Arabic. This study also found that communicative-based learning approaches, using real-life contexts and social interaction with native speakers, are effective strategies in Arabic language learning. The integration of technology and project-based learning can enrich students' learning experiences. In conclusion, a deeper understanding of LAD theory and its application in Arabic language learning can contribute significantly to the development of more effective teaching methods, enabling students to master Arabic more efficiently in an increasingly complex global context. Keywords: language acquisition device, psycholinguistics, arabic language learning, second language acquisition.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.61436/bsscd/v3i1.pp43-54

A Letter Invited on a Trip: Practice of Dealing with Complaints in Soviet Lithuania
Authors: Marcinkevičienė Dalia
Published: January 2025

In Soviet post-war society many letters / complaints which had little to do with ideology or police were written. People who wrote those complaints did not intend to report or punish anyone. Rather they were concerned only with solving their own everyday life problems and improve it. Purely personal interests of those who wrote letters show that messages like those were simply grievances about everyday life. Often complaints became an officially legal form of blat (connections) and were promoted by those who did not have any strong social connections. Those who used blat resorted to personal connections, while the writers of complaints used official institutions. The authorities in Soviet Lithuania encouraged those who wrote complaints. Soviet citizens who saw some evil in society were urged to address higher institutions of power. The 2 August 1958 resolution passed by the Central Committee of the USSR “On serious shortcomings in dealing with ordinary people’s letters, grievances and reports” was to encourage people to complain about social evil. It attracted attention to the importance of the control dealing with grievances. One of the most important party and government chains, which was to ensure people’s confidence to write letters was the State Control Committee of the Council of Ministers of the Central Committee of the Lithuanian Communist Party.
Abrasive Wear in Some High Fe-Cr-C Alloy in Cement Powder
Authors: Khidhair Jasim Mohammed
Published: January 2025

The wear behavior in solid metallic materials is of high importance because of its connection with production cost. In this work, the behavior of wear and wear rate is shown in grinding balls produced from high Fe-Cr-C alloys produced by melting in medium frequency induction furnaces, and molding by automatic fleckless molding machine– Disamatic moldings machine. The total testing time is (12 hrs). The abrasive wear rate, which is the wear resistance multiplied by testing time in mg/Kg.hr. Two grinding balls of each of the three alloys: BC26, BC18, and BC13 are tested by rotating the balls with (50 Kg), cement powder inside a diesel working mixer of circular sections, inclined 45 and rotating by 30 rpm. Weighting and hardness testing results are found in the text, the chemical composition was tested by using spectra analyses type ARL 34000 OE. All the results obtained are shown in the tables and figures in the text. As a result, it can be stated that increasing Cr%, increases hardness, and decreases the wear rate, and the harder and higher the Cr% and C% it contains, the lower the wear rate and the higher wear resistance.

Authors: Thai Nguyen Duy , Xuyen Doan Huu , Phuong Ngo Phi , Danh Nguyen Thanh
Published: January 2025

Background: Zinc deficiency has been identified as a contributing factor to poor appetite, impaired immune function, and various gastrointestinal disturbances in young children.
Objective: To assess the effect of zinc supplementation on vomiting status in anorexic children.
Methods: A randomized, controlled, single-blinded clinical trial. Fifty vomiting anorexic children (3–36 months old) without infection and gastro-intestinal outlet obstructions were selected on admission to the nutrition recovery center: 25 (supplemented, S group) received 10mg/child daily of elemental zinc supplementation as gluconate with iron and vitamins of supplemental dosage, and 25 (non-supplemented, NS group) received a similar one but without zinc for 90 days. All children were also observed during a 90-day post-supplementation period, one child of the S group and four children of the NS group dropped out. On days 7, 10, and 15 the vomiting status was assessed. On days 0 and 30, the levels of energy intake and weight gain were measured. On days 0 and 90, serum zinc levels were also measured.
Results: On days 7, 10, and 15, the healed proportions of the vomiting children were significantly higher (83.3% vs. 0.0%; 87.5% vs. 4.8% and 95.5% vs. 19%) in the S group than that in the NS group (p < 0.001 for each). On day 30, the levels of energy intake (108 ± 20 vs. 82 ± 16 Kcal/kg/day) and weight gain (414 120 vs. 248 ± 102 g/child/mo) were significantly higher in the S group than in the NS group (p < 0.001 for each). Serum zinc levels (µg/dl) were significantly higher (76.8 ± 8.4 vs. 71.2 ± 6.3, p < 0.05) in the S group than in the NS group on day 90.
Conclusion: This study supports the role of zinc in protracted vomiting not due to gastro-intestinal outlet obstructions in anorexic children, while pointing out the need for large studies.
The Role of CCL18 in Rheumatoid Arthritis Diseases
Authors: Yuebin Tan
Published: January 2025

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic auto-immune disease that mostly occurs in joint space with remarkably painful swelling. RA detail pathologies remain unclear, but several C-C motif chemokines factors and Interleukin have been identified as associated factors and correlated disease-associate activities (such as CCL2, CCL18, IL-6). Among these factors, increasing evidence indicates CCL18 could be an appropriate drug target, as it is highly correlated with disease-associated activities (DAS28) (elevated level of CCL18 in both patient serum and local synovial fluids). High-concentration CCL18 in synovial fluids has been reported to facilitate pro-inflammation factor production, finally resulting in painful swelling in joint space. In vivo studies showed significant drug efficiency with anti-TNF-a treatment (CCl18 suppression). Most current approved drugs target TNF, IL-6, or other factors, but do not target CCL18 directly or indirectly. From this perspective, CCL18 has been believed to be a new target for RA therapeutic drug development.

Authors: Demers-Bouchard Rosalie , Gallani Maria Cecilia , Balg Catherine
Published: January 2025

Introduction : L’hospitalisation en unité de soins intensifs (USI) peut entraîner des séquelles physiques, psychologiques, cognitives et sociales significatives pour les personnes recevant des soins de santé (PRSS). Bien que le journal de bord soit reconnu pour son impact positif sur les résultats en matière de santé, son utilisation adaptée aux USI québécoises, au Canada, reste rare, soulignant le besoin d’un cadre méthodologique pour guider la planification de son implantation.
Objectif : Décrire les étapes d’un projet de planification de l’implantation du journal de bord dans une USI adulte d’un hôpital quaternaire de la ville de Québec, dans une perspective d’approche centrée sur la personne comme stratégie d’humanisation des soins.
Démarche : La planification de l’implantation du journal de bord s’est appuyée sur 13 des 14 étapes du Quality Implementation Framework (QIF). L’intervention concerne des PRSS de ≥ 18 ans ayant séjourné ≥ 48 heures à l’USI et ayant présenté un délirium ou une intubation prolongée de plus de 24 heures.
Évaluation : La planification de l’implantation a couvert les domaines suivants du QIF : évaluation et préparation initiales; engagement et soutien des parties prenantes; recrutement et formation; planification de la mise en œuvre; suivi et évaluation. 
Discussion et conclusion : Ce projet a montré l’importance de l’engagement du personnel soignant, de l’analyse du contexte et de la flexibilité des parties prenantes. Il constitue un exemple d’application permettant d’intégrer une intervention fondée sur des données probantes tout en générant des apprentissages contextuels pendant sa mise en œuvre, contribuant ainsi à réduire l’écart entre les connaissances théoriques et leur application.
MANIFESTĂRI ALE RĂULUI TOTALITAR: SOCIETĂȚI DISTOPICE LA EVGHENI ZAMIATIN ȘI MIGUEL ÁNGEL ASTURIAS
Authors:   University of Bucharest, BLÂNZEANU DARIA-ELENA
Published: January 2025

This paper analyzes dystopian depictions of a totalitarian, authoritarian state, wherein
individuality is suppressed and the individual is coerced to become an executor of the directives of
the great guiding mind that claims to act for the good of all. The aim of this analysis is to highlight the similarities in the portrayal of a totalitarian state by Yevgeny Zamyatin and Miguel Ángel Asturias, through their novels We and The President. Zamyatin's perceptions, shaped by his experience of the Russian Revolution of 1905 and the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, are similar to those of Asturias, whose worldview has been shaped by the dictatorial regime of Manuel Estrada Cabrera in Guatemala from 1898 to 1920.
OBLOMOV DE IVAN GONCEAROV: O ANALIZĂ CRITICĂ A UNUI POSIBIL BILDUNGSROMAN
Authors:   University of Bucharest, BULIBAȘ ANA
Published: January 2025

The novel Oblomov by Ivan Goncharov, published at a time when literature was concerned with the education and formation of the individual, challenges the conventional form of the bildungsroman by focusing on a character who appears to be static and does not develop in accordance with the typical trajectory of a coming-of-age narrative. In order to comprehend the rationale behind the inactivity of the eponymous character, as well as the phenomenon observed in Russian society and generically referred to as “Oblomovism”, we will analyze how the perception of time and space influences the formation of Oblomov's personality and differentiates him from his active and lively friend Stolz. The antithesis between the two characters represents a fundamental aspect of the novel, underscoring the contrast between two distinct mentalities shaped by opposing perceptions of time and space. Despite its deviations from the conventional structure of a “Bildungsroman”, the novel Oblomov incorporates sufficient elements of the genre to be regarded as an unconventional iteration of this literary type, particularly in its portrayal of the protagonist's unique relationship with time and space.

Authors: Kusuma Bagus , Tampubolon Elza Ully Tiara , Alfarisi Salman
Published: January 2025

This study analyses the influence of factors causing crime in Central Java Province in 2022, with variables including poverty, population density, education, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), unemployment rate, and food and non-food consumption. Crime in this region is a social issue that needs attention, given the impact it has on both the economy and social community. Criminality data in the form of count data is analysed using Poisson and Negative Binomial regression to overcome the problem of overdispersion, which allows the model to more accurately estimate the relationship between variables. The results showed that the Negative Binomial regression model was better than Poisson regression, based on the AIC (Akaike Information Criteria) value. The variables of poverty and education were found to have a significant influence on crime rates, indicating the importance of social and educational policies in reducing crime rates. Meanwhile, the variables of population density, GRDP, unemployment rate, and food consumption showed no significant effect. These findings provide important insights for the government in formulating policies aimed at reducing crime rates and improving social stability in Central Java Province. This research is expected to be the basis for the development of data-based policies to improve the welfare of the community.

Published: January 2025

This research aimed to develop a chemical and granular organic fertilizer with hormone mixed formula (HO) and compare it with chemical fertilizers on the yield, yield quality and cost-effective of cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) cultivated in outdoor condition. The experiment was conducted using 17-size pots filled with 12 kg of growing media, using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 13 treatments and 6 replications, totaling 78 pots. The treatments included: T1 - No fertilizer (Control), T2 - Chemical fertilizer 25-7-7 (50 kg/rai, 1 rai = 0.16 ha), T3 - Chemical fertilizer 25-7-7 (100 kg/rai), T4 - Chemical fertilizer 16-8-8 (50 kg/rai), T5 - Chemical fertilizer 16-8-8 (100 kg/rai), T6 - Chemical fertilizer 15-15-15 (50 kg/rai), T7 - Chemical fertilizer 15-15-15 (100 kg/rai), T8 - HO-1 (50 kg/rai), T9 - HO-1 (100 kg/rai), T10 - HO-2 (50 kg/rai), T11 - HO-2 (100 kg/rai), T12 - HO-3 (50 kg/rai), and T13 - HO-3 (100 kg/rai). The test plant was 25-day-old Hang Kra Rok Phu Phan ST1 cannabis seedlings. The experiment was carried out from November 2022 to June 2023 at Moo 7, Wang Nok Aen Sub-district, Wang Thong District, Phitsanulok Province. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and DMRT at 95% confidence level.The results showed that the HO-1, HO-2, and HO-3 fertilizers had moderate levels of primary macronutrients (N-P-K) and high levels of secondary macronutrients (Ca-Mg-S) and micronutrients (Fe-Cu-Zn-Mn), while the chemical fertilizers had higher overall primary macronutrient (NPK) content but lacked the secondary and micronutrients. The HO fertilizers had a pH ranging from 6.5 to 6.7, which was suitable for plant nutrient uptake. In terms of growth parameters, the top three performing treatments were T13 (HO-3, 100 kg/rai), T12 (HO-3, 50 kg/rai), and T11 (HO-2, 100 kg/rai), which showed statistically significant differences. For yield and yield components, T13 (HO-3, 100 kg/rai) exhibited the highest values, which were significantly different from the other treatments. This treatment also had the highest THC (10.5%) and CBD (0.95%) contents. The economic analysis showed that T13 (HO-3, 100 kg/rai) had the highest profit of 170,010 baht/rai, while all the HO fertilizer treatments (T8-T13) were profitable, and the chemical fertilizer treatments (T2-T7) showed losses due to lower yields and higher production costs. In conclusion, the development of the HO fertilizer was successful, and the T13 (HO-3, 100 kg/rai) treatment was the most effective for outdoor cannabis cultivation, as it resulted in the highest plant growth, yield, THC/CBD content and highest profit.
ATTRIBUTIONAL VERSUS CONSEQUENTIONAL LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT MODELLING IN METALWORKING PRODUCTION SYSTEM
Authors: Agarski Boris , Vukelić Đorđe , Hadžistević Miodrag , Ilić-Mićunović Milana , Budak Igor
Published: January 2025

Two different system modelling can be distinguished in life cycle assessment: attributional and consequential. Attributional modelling is used to describe the present state of the examined system and is characterised with use of allocation, no substitutions, market average suppliers, and cut-off principle. Consequential modelling is used to describe the consequences of changes in the demand within the system and
use of substitutions, marginal suppliers, and system expansion. Although the ISO 14040 standard does not make a clear distinction between attributional and consequential modelling, it does provide basic instructions on how to deal with allocations and supports both types of modelling systems. Therefore, it is important to specify within the goal and scope of life cycle assessment study which modelling is used. This research applies attributional and consequential modelling in life cycle assessment to analyse a case of metalworking production system. The aim of research
is to identify if the application of different system models can lead to different conclusions and interpretation of life cycle assessment results. The obtained environmental impacts from life cycle assessment show that two system models provide different results. However the choice which one to use depends on: if investigation has to separate the product from the rest of technosphere and environment, if inputs and outputs need to be attributed to the functional unit, or if there is need for comparative analysis of products and focus on the long-term effect of the changes.

Published: January 2025

The main focus of this paper is to present the TQM practices of 593 companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition, our results confirm that there are statistically significant differences in TQM practices between firms in a highly competitive and less competitive environment, as well as between firms with and without ISO certificates. TQM practices do not differ between companies that belong to different groups that we constructed based on their age, location, export-orientation and the firm size. We contribute to the existing body of knowledge by identifying organizational contextual factors that might matter in designing more complex structural models.

Comprehensive evaluation of health community construction based on biomechanical perspective
Authors: Hu Xiang , Lan Yonghong
Published: January 2025

The comprehensive evaluation of healthy community construction is an important means for managers and decision-makers to understand the development of community health within their jurisdiction, and also a scientific basis for formulating practical and feasible health policies and health development plans. Scientific evaluation of the overall level and differences in the construction of healthy communities has important theoretical significance and reference value. Based on the principal component clustering analysis method as well as the theoretical foundation, the multiple evaluation indicators in the evaluation index system of health community construction are standardized and dimensionally reduced. At the same time, the principal component factor load matrix clustering analysis is used, combined with the practical significance and evaluation direction of the indicator categories, to propose a design idea for the classification index system. The comprehensive principal component evaluation and clustering analysis are used to quantitatively examine the level of health community construction in specific regions and make horizontal comparisons, provide theoretical support and decision-making reference for the construction of healthy communities. The correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method system were verified by numerical examples.

Published: January 2025

The membrane electrode assembly in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) functions as the electrochemical reaction region, where the generated electric current relies on the diffusion of reactant gases and electron conduction. Drawing inspiration from biomechanics, this study embarked on constructing a database of PEMFC performance data. Similar to how biomechanical studies use advanced imaging and sensing techniques to map the internal workings of organisms, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were employed to capture the intricate fluid and gas behaviors within the fuel cell. The data was then used to train data-driven surrogate models based on artificial neural network (ANN) and improved differential evolution for rapid prediction and optimization. When considering the biomechanical aspects, we analyze the mechanical stresses and strains that occur within the membrane electrode assembly during operation. These biomechanical factors can affect the durability and performance of the fuel cell. The gas diffusion layer (GDL) is similar to the pore structure in biological tissues. The pore structure of biological organisms, such as bones, not only ensures the diffusion and transport of nutrients, but also provides space for the attachment of cells to maintain the growth and metabolism of bones. The optimization results revealed that the pores of the GDL, just like the pores of biological tissues, affect the diffusion efficiency of the reactant gases (similar to nutrients) to the catalytic layer, and an appropriate porosity ensures the supply of the reactants required for the electrochemical reactions inside the cell, and improves the PEMFC performance of the cell. By utilizing the random forest algorithm (RF) to conduct feature importance evaluation, we can gain further understanding and interpretation of the factors influencing coupling relationships. The researchers successfully identified the optimal values of GDL porosity and thickness, resulting in an 8.75% increase in power density and significant improvement in oxygen distribution uniformity. To validate the effectiveness and accuracy of the optimization, the optimized structural parameters were incorporated into CFD simulations. The validation results demonstrated close alignment between the optimized model's performance and actual values, confirming the efficacy and reliability of the optimization framework. Overall, this data-driven optimization approach provides an effective tool for multi-variable optimization of complex systems and holds significant importance in enhancing the performance and power density of PEMFC, while also taking into account the biomechanical factors that influence its long-term operation and stability.
Design of an intelligent English learning platform combining biomechanical analysis with biological data analysis and text semantic matching
Authors: Zhu Hongming
Published: January 2025

Intelligent classrooms have demonstrated significant promise in enhancing learning efficiency as a result of the quick development of big data and artificial intelligence technologies. This study proposes a text semantic matching model (OM) that combines deep learning and K-means clustering algorithm, aiming to optimize vocabulary. Importantly, it delves into the biomechanical aspects of learning by considering how physical and physiological processes interact with language acquisition. By mimicking the learning mechanism of biological neural networks and further exploring the biomechanical correlates of neural activity during learning, such as the muscle tensions and postural changes associated with cognitive efforts, this model simulates how the brain processes and stores language information. These biomechanical factors can have an impact on concentration and fatigue levels, which in turn affect semantic understanding and memory performance during the learning process. The experimental results indicate that this method not only improves teaching effectiveness, but also provides a solid foundation for future research on intelligent language learning environments, taking into account the biomechanical underpinnings of learning.

With this material, the microwave antenna has a radiation element width of 98 mm and a radiation element length of 78 mm. In this study, a multi-patch rectangular microstrip antenna is used because it has a bandwidth characteristic of at least 26 MHz, a maximum VSWR of 2, and a return loss of less than -10 dB. These characteristics are suitable for enhancing drone communication range. The research results indicate that the Multi-Patch Rectangular Microstrip Antenna for enhancing drone communication range at a frequency of 915 MHz has been successfully designed and tested. In conclusion, this Multi-Patch Rectangular Microstrip Antenna, tested using CST Studio Suite 2019 simulation software and a Spectrum Analyzer, can achieve a bandwidth of 152.15 GHz, a VSWR of 1.01, and a return loss of -43.37 dB.
Navigating endgames : conceptualization, strategies and successful turnarounds
Authors:   , Leder Hendrik
Published: January 2025

The pace of technological change and digital transformation is accelerating, leading to the emergence of new industries as others decline. Responding to this phenomenon, this PhD thesis explores the challenges of industry decline, endgames and organizational turnarounds. I draw on a rich theoretical foundation and empirical evidence to identify the strategies firms can follow to navigate these challenges. This PhD thesis is structured around three studies researching the social construction of endgames, how strategy is adapted within an endgame and how firms can achieve successful turnarounds. In the first study, I use a fictional institutionalist perspective to show how endgames are socially constructed, shedding light on the dynamic interplay of industry actors’ fictional expectations and the subsequent strategies they chose as an endgame diffuses through an industry. The second study investigates the patterns of strategic change in endgames and introduces a dialectical model that conceptualize the dynamics of organizational responses to industry decline. The last study focuses on organizational turnarounds as organizations initiate turnaround efforts to recover from prolonged decline in an endgame. This study uses a qualitative meta-analysis of turnaround cases to identify the underlying mechanisms and temporal sequences of successful recovery efforts. The four distinct process archetypes that this study identifies contributes both theoretical insights for researchers and practical insights for managers navigating turnaround scenarios. Together, these three studies provide a detailed understanding of endgames, from how endgames are conceptualized to which organizational strategies firms follow in endgames to the archetypes of organizational turnarounds that firms use to recover from prolonged decline during an endgame. Overall, this thesis contributes theoretically and practically to the fields of strategic management and organizational studies. I provide a nuanced understanding of how organizations can navigate the tumultuous waters of decline, adapt to changing industry landscapes and orchestrate successful turnarounds in the face of adversity.

Ecuador es uno de los principales productores de cacao, pero su industria enfrenta desafíos relacionados con la gestión de subproductos, como el mucílago y la placenta de cacao. Este estudio se centra en la valorización de estos subproductos mediante la producción de vinagre. Se recolectaron 102 mazorcas de cacao CCN-51 en el cantón La Maná, provincia de Cotopaxi-Ecuador, donde se extrajeron el mucílago y la placenta, materiales ricos en azúcares y polifenoles. Se diseñaron biorreactores artesanales para llevar a cabo un proceso de fermentación controlada con dos tipos de levaduras (Saccharomyces cerevisiae y Saccharomyces bayanus), durante 82 días. Se evaluaron parámetros fisicoquímicos como ºBrix, pH, acidez total, cenizas y polifenoles totales. Además, se realizó análisis microbiológicos para garantizar la inocuidad del producto. Los resultados mostraron que el vinagre de cacao obtenido tiene características sensoriales aceptables y valores fisicoquímicos dentro de los rangos esperados para vinagres comerciales. No se detectaron colonias de Escherichia coli y coliformes. Los mohos, levaduras y aerobios mesófilos estaban dentro del límite permitido, confirmando su seguridad alimentaria. Este proyecto plantea la producción de vinagre como una solución innovadora para reducir el impacto ambiental de los subproductos del cacao, mientras se generan nuevas oportunidades económicas en Ecuador.

Every day we come across more technological resources being used around us, and they become increasingly invisible as they are incorporated into our daily lives, whether in industry, commerce, personal tasks or education, where it is possible to learn and teach in different ways, developing skills and competencies. Seeking help in these technologies, the objective of this work is to provide new concepts about robotics, encouraging students to think creatively, efficiently, playfully and practically so that they can develop their skills and competencies, carrying out Math activities. It is necessary to make young people and children see the potential of innovation in technologies combined with play and relate them to their study routines, since they spend a lot of time consuming technology, through games and social networks. To this end, we thought of working in the classroom with robotic prototypes developing a learning object that, through a case study and exploratory research, were applied in the classroom, observing the motivation and performance of students when carrying out the activities in a quantitative and qualitative way. The case study was carried out with sixteen students from the 5th grade of Elementary School at the São Luís Municipal Elementary School in the city of São Vicente do Seridó-PB. As a result, it was noted that the students' performance was better in the post-test, and the students were motivated to solve the activities, which was a determining factor for the development of their skills.
