Authors: Renato Tasca  , Carmen de Elena de Sánchez  , Rabagly Jiménes
Published: August 2024

El diagnóstico de absceso hepático amibiano es frecuentemente difícil. Por este motivo se han adaptado muchas pruebas serológicas para amibiases pero por diversas razones (costos altos, falta de equipo especial y de personal entrenado) no se pueden emplear en la mayoría de los países en desarrollo.
Los autores realizaron dos pruebas de difusión en agar donde se comparan dos antígenos solubles de Entamoeba histolytica, uno preparado con amibas locales que se cultivaron en el medio modificado de Boeck y Drbohlav (difásico) con flora fecal y otro con trofozoitos de E. histolytica cultivados axénicamente. En los 38 sueros que se estudiaron (22 de personas con absceso hepático amibiano, 6 de pacientes con otras enfermedades y 10 de controles sanos) mediante la difusión con gel de agar se obtuvieron resultados idénticos al utilizar ambos antígenos. Estos hallazgos sugieren que el antígeno local es confiable y puede constituir en los países en desarrollo una alternativa adecuada para el serodiagnóstico del absceso hepático amibiano.

Switchable 1,2- and 1,3-Halogen Transposition of Dibromoimidazoles by Activation of Grignard Reagent
Authors: Nishimoto Hayato , Inoue Kengo , Mori Atsunori , Okano Kentaro
Published: August 2024

A switchable 1,2- and 1,3-halogen transposition reaction of 2,5-dibromoimidazoles is disclosed. Organomagnesium species generated by deprotonation are stable at –20 °C. Heating the organomagnesium at 60 °C to 80 °C leads to 1,3-halogen transposition. In contrast, addition of HMPA promotes 1,2-halogen transposition. These three constitutionally isomeric organomagnesiums from the same substrate undergo electrophilic trapping to provide the corresponding adducts. Several control experiments provide a plausible reaction pathway and a rationale for the contrasting selectivity switch.
Basis-set limit CCSD(T) energies for large molecules with local natural orbitals and reduced-scaling basis-set corrections
Authors: Mester David , Nagy Peter , Kallay Mihaly
Published: August 2024

The calculation of density-based basis-set correction (DBBSC), which remedies the basis-set incompleteness (BSI) error of the correlation energy, is combined with local approximations. Aiming at large-scale applications, the procedure is implemented in our efficient local natural orbital-based coupled-cluster singles and doubles with per- turbative triples [LNO-CCSD(T)] scheme. To this end, the range-separation function, which characterizes the one-electron BSI in space, is decomposed into the sum of con- tributions from individual localized molecular orbitals (LMOs). A compact domain is constructed around each LMO, and the corresponding contributions are evaluated only within these restricted domains. Furthermore, for the calculation of the com- plementary auxiliary basis set (CABS) correction, which significantly improves the Hartree–Fock (HF) energy, the local density fitting approximation is utilized. The er- rors arising from the local approximations are examined in detail, efficient prescreening techniques are introduced to compress the numerical quadrature used for DBBSC, and conservative default thresholds are selected for the truncation parameters. The effi- ciency of the DBBSC-LNO-CCSD(T) method is demonstrated through representative examples of up to 1000 atoms. Based on the numerical results, we conclude that the corrections drastically reduce the BSI error using double-ζ basis sets, often to below 1 kcal/mol compared to the reliable LNO-CCSD(T) complete basis set references, while significant improvements are also achieved with triple-ζ basis sets. Considering that the calculation of the DBBSC and CABS corrections only moderately increases the wall-clock time required for the post-HF steps in practical applications, the proposed DBBSC-LNO-CCSD(T) method offers a highly efficient and robust tool for large-scale calculations.
Self-assembly of monodisperse graphene nanoribbons into submicron architectures with long-range order and uniform orientation
Authors: Yin Jiangliang , Pyle Daniel , Choi Shinyoung , Guest Jeffrey , Dong Guangbin
Published: August 2024

Fabricating organic semi-conducting materials into large-scale well-organized architectures is critical for building high performance molecular electronics. While graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) hold enormous promise for various device applications, their assembly into a well-structured monolayer or multilayer architecture poses a substantial challenge. Here we report the preparation of length-defined monodisperse GNRs and their self-assembly into submicron-architectures with long-range order, uniform orientation as well as regular layers. The use of short alkyl side chains benefits forming stable multi-layers through interlocking structures. By changing the length and backbone shapes of these monodisperse GNRs, various three-dimensional assemblies including multilayer stripes, monolayer stripes, and nanowires, can be achieved, leading to different photophysical properties and band gaps. The discovery of these intriguing self-assembly behaviors of length-defined GNRs is expected to open the door for various future applications.
Object detection for the visually impaired
Authors: Brightson Chimwanga
Published: August 2024

This paper presents the design and development of a mobile application, built using Flutter, that leverages object detection to enhance the lives of visually impaired individuals. The application addresses a crucial challenge faced by this community: the lack of real-time information about their surroundings. A solution is proposed that utilizes pre-trained machine learning models, potentially through TensorFlow Lite for on-device processing, to identify objects within the user's field of view as captured by the smartphone camera. The application goes beyond simple object recognition; detected objects are translated into natural language descriptions through text-to-speech functionality, providing crucial auditory cues about the environment. This real-time information stream empowers users to navigate their surroundings with greater confidence and independence. Accessibility is a core principle of this paper. The user interface will be designed for compatibility with screen readers, ensuring seamless interaction for users who rely on assistive technologies. Haptic feedback mechanisms will be incorporated to provide non-visual cues and enhance the user experience. The ultimate goal of this paper is to create a user-friendly and informative application that empowers visually impaired individuals to gain greater independence in their daily lives. The application has the potential to improve spatial awareness, foster a sense of security, and promote overall inclusion within society.

Published: August 2024

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the pattern of women-owned businesses particularly whether country, age, education, citizenship, social class, income, and religion are associated with female entrepreneurship.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study develops a global demographic model of female entrepreneurship using data mining techniques.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study employs a data mining approach on the World Values Survey Wave 7 2017-2020 data that includes 19575 working women in 56 countries.
 
Findings: The results show that the backgrounds of female entrepreneurs are largely heterogenous from one country to another. The most significant factor that influences entrepreneurship is education level while the least is citizenship status.
 
Research, Practical & Social Implications: The study contributes to model a specific set of attributes of female entrepreneurs for each country. Governments could establish appropriate policies to encourage female entrepreneurship that fits with the local environment and is unique to each country.
 
Originality/Value: The study contributes to the use of data mining techniques for producing more comprehensive findings than statistical approaches that are commonly employed in business economics research.
Teenage boys as change-makers: a social marketing strategy to prevent violence against women
Authors:   , Handley Kate
Published: August 2024

Violence against women is a global epidemic and particularly rife in Aotearoa NZ. It is not a new problem but has new influences; toxic masculinity, online influencers and the proliferation of pornography all fuel its fire, particularly for teenage boys, who are susceptible to popular culture influences. Men who become perpetrators often start when they are teenagers; making teenage boys a critical audience for prevention programmes. They are also good potential social marketing allies: boys listen to boys. Social marketing is an effective way of reaching boys; it is volitional (creates sustainable change) and can target the masses. Gendered social norms theory, supported by a gender-transformative approach, is an appropriate social marketing theory of change applicable in this research. This feminist approach seeks to change inequitable norms that contribute to the problem.

Within an interpretivist phenomenological paradigm, using 14 qualitative in-depth interviews and two group workshops, this research engages teenage boys in co-design to find solutions. It first asks what boys understand about violence against women, then what the norms supporting influences surrounding them are. Next the study aims to fill a gap in our understanding about effective social marketing messaging aimed at teenage boys–to prevent violence against women. It works with boys to envisage messages that will shift violence-supporting norms.

Results indicate that boys understand violence against women accurately and disapprove of this violence but do not view it as their problem. Furthermore, analysis shows that many find several inequitable gendered social norms acceptable, despite their contribution to the violence. This leads to a new theoretical proposition: there is a norms perception-reality gap among teenage boys. This gap is influenced by multifarious negative blockers across society; from peers to media and systemic sexism in old boy networks.

However more encouragingly, some teenage boys feel a responsibility to be involved in change-making. They have creative ideas for emotive and compelling social marketing messaging that resonates. Regarding messages envisioned, gender-transformative ideas that challenge masculinity have potential but are controversial; there is significant resistance. Some progressive boys see benefits, but on balance it is too much too soon for many. A more promising idea proposed by boys is the reframing of violence against women, to reveal its relationship with traditional inequitable norms. This can close the norms perception-reality gap, ultimately moving boys’ towards more gender equal, non-violent behaviours. There are significant implications for this research; it can contribute to theory building in prevention science and can be used immediately in practice. Reframing violence against women is a simple but effective long term strategy to drive real change to this devastating social epidemic in Aotearoa NZ and beyond.

К прорывным технологиям относится внедрение цифровых технологий и инжиниринга в коммунальной и городской инфраструктуре. Мы анализируем нормативно-правовую базу ЖКХ, которая является правовой основой для внедрения цифровизации управления в сфере жилищно-коммунального хозяйства, исследуем перспективные направления, выделяем проблемы и пути их решения. Наиболее отрицательное влияние на цифровизацию это неопределенность и недостаточность в источниках финансирования техники, технологий, программных продуктов на стадии их обслуживания и эксплуатации. Отсутствует факт открытости в ресурсоснабжающих организациях ЖКХ в области газоснабжения и энергетики. Нет квалифицированных кадров ЖКХ для цифровизации. Оторванность производства от целей цифровизации. Создание специализированных инжиниринговых предприятий позволит значительно быстрее провести цифровизацию отрасли ЖКХ. В настоящее время нет четкости определения инжиниринговых услуг в ЖКХ. Содержание услуг требуется для детализации нормативной базы. Классификационные группировки не отражают виды работ – их экономический аспект, что ведет к отсутствию государственной системы в кодификации инжиниринговой деятельности. Инжиниринговые компании ЖКХ могут служить катализатором по внедрению инновационных продуктов и технологий, сократить дистанцию между разработками прежде всего в области цифровой трансформации отрасли и внедрением в производство. Производство и академическое сообщество отмечают недостаточным в объеме рынка инжиниринговых услуг и участия его в создании наукоемкой продукции.

“I consider this as my responsibility.” A Case Study of Female Teachers and their Experiences of Unpaid Labor in Contemporary Sidon
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University -- Chouran Beirut, AlMokaddem Fatima
Published: August 2024

This case study investigates the experiences of unpaid labor and paid employment among a group of female teachers in contemporary Sidon. Universally, women spend more time on unpaid labor than men, which makes them disproportionately bear the “double burden.” The research methodology relies on a qualitative approach to tackle a problematic social issue; that of recognizing and monetizing unpaid labor. The study also explores the intersectional factors that influence the daily realities of the participants. It delves into the challenges and stressors, and demonstrates how the resulting feelings of exhaustion and time-poverty impact the overall wellbeing and realities of the female teachers. The findings reveal several insights into the perceptions of unpaid labor regarding the participants. The participants recognize unpaid labor as a responsibility and a moral obligation, and they derive emotional value from their roles as mother. Additionally, the findings further reveal a gendered division of labor whereby the majority of the unpaid labor is done by the participants and/or other female members of their families. The female participants view their labor as a “labor of love”, and for this reason none of the participants believed that they should be financially compensated for their unpaid labor. The thesis highlights this problem and discusses it in the analysis. The study highlights the need for further research on unpaid labor in diverse contexts in Lebanon. It also stresses the role of NGOs in conducting awareness sessions regarding the importance of recognizing and monetizing unpaid labor. By recognizing the contributions of these groups of women and their unpaid labor, policymakers can begin to build policies such as tax deductions and alternative supportive systems that promote gender equality and the overall well-being of female teachers.

Published: August 2024

Minas Gerais é responsável por mais de 80% da produção nacional de carvão vegetal proveniente de florestas plantadas. Ao longo dos anos as empresas vêm procurando aumentar essa produção construindo fornos com capacidade cada vez maior. A etapa de resfriamento desses fornos é um entrave para o aumento da produtividade do setor. O resfriamento natural de um forno pode levar de 6 a 16 dias, dependendo da capacidade do forno. A utilização de trocadores de calor para auxiliar no processo de resfriamento é uma alternativa para acelerar e controlar o tempo de resfriamento desses fornos. O objetivo desse trabalho é simular o resfriamento de um forno retangular para a produção de carvão vegetal utilizando um trocador de calor de tubo duplo. O forno simulado possui uma capacidade de 320 m³ e é resfriado por um trocador de calor de tubo duplo ar-ar com área de troca de 360 m² e vazão de operação de 8.000 m³/h. As equações do modelo matemático foram solucionadas de forma numérica pelo Método dos Volumes Finitos. Os resultados das simulações são comparados com resultados da literatura.

Numerical simulation of the cooling of a charcoal kiln using a double pipe heat exchanger
Abstract
Minas Gerais produces more than 80% of the total charcoal national production from planted forests. Over the years, companies have been increasing their charcoal production by increasing the capacity of kilns. The cooling stage of these large kilns is a bottleneck to increasing the sector’s productivity. The natural cooling of a kiln may take 6 to 16 days, depending on its capacity. The use of heat exchangers to assist in the cooling process is an alternative to accelerate and control the cooling time of these kilns. The aim of this work is to simulate the cooling of a rectangular charcoal kiln using a double pipe heat exchanger. The simulated kiln has 320 m³ of capacity and is cooled by an air-to-air double pipe heat exchanger with an area of 360 m² and flow rate of 8.000 m³/h. The equations of the mathematical model were solved numerically using the Finite Volume Method. The simulation results are compared with results available in literature. The use of the double pipe heat exchanger reduced in 51% the time for cooling the simulated kiln.

The ancient cave temples and sculptures of India offer a glimpse into the country's rich artistic heritage, featuring a wide range of gods, goddesses, and yogis depicted in various forms and styles. In India, yoga has long been revered as the premier means of achieving meditation and spiritual connection. The representation of Buddha in Indian sculpture predominantly features yogic iconography, a trend also observed in the depiction of Hindu deities such as Shiva, Vishnu, and Jain Tirthamkara. Legend has it that Shiva originated the various yogic postures and gestures, which have been seamlessly integrated into Indian art and remain an essential part of its heritage. Numerous yoga postures are associated with Buddhist and other religious contemplative practices, teachings, and activities. The systematic representation of figures in yoga, characterized by distinct postures (asanas) and gestures (mudras), owes its origins to cognitive discipline. These physical postures and gestures have been portrayed in a unique visual language, evident in ancient Indian art history. Divine gestures have long been the language of India's gods and goddesses, conveying sacred messages, timeless teachings, and benevolent protection to their devoted followers. The pantheon of Indian deities remains incomplete without these symbolic expressions, which embody the essence of their divine connection with humanity. In the realm of Indian art, the divine and human forms are intertwined with the essence of nature, where gods and goddesses are symbolically represented as well human features are harmoniously linked to the elements, reflecting a profound symbiosis between the spiritual, human, and natural worlds. The depiction of Buddha's image embodies supreme peace, with his physical features accordingly delineated. These stances and movements set Indian art apart from all other forms of art worldwide and place it on a lofty pedestal.

Published: August 2024

The glamorous lifestyle of several top officials' families often attracts sharp public attention. This condition is very different from the previous national heroes who fought and provided examples to society when they became public officials. Therefore, this research explored the simplicity of the life of M. Natsir, an Indonesian national hero, by analyzing the values of character education reflected in the simplicity of his life. This research uses qualitative-descriptive methods and historical analysis, with data from various primary and secondary sources, including M. Natsir's biography, speeches and writings. The data was collected using a heuristic method, followed by a verification and interpretation process. Research findings show that the values of character education are manifested in M. Natsir's life, such as not being extravagant, rejecting gratification, and living as he is. These values can be seen in the way they dress, where they live and their lifestyle. These values are relevant in the current context of character education. This research concludes that the simplicity of M. Natsir's life has significant implications as an inspiration for Indonesia's young generation in building strong character and integrity. Apart from that, this research also emphasizes the importance of including the noble values of historical figures in the national education curriculum as an effort to form a nation with character.

Procedimentos de radiologia intervencionista podem acarretar doses elevadas aos profissionais envolvidos, estando entreas maiores doses ocupacionais em serviços hospitalares. Esta exposição pode ser influenciada por fatores como a distânciado profissional em relação ao fantoma de PMMA, blindagens, parâmetros utilizados e tamanho do paciente. Assim, estetrabalho teve o objetivo de estimar a dose efetiva da equipe multidisciplinar e o número de procedimentos anuais permitidos,dentro dos limites de dose estabelecidos pela CNEN NN 3.01, variando o cenário dosimétrico. Para isso, foi utilizado umdetector de estado sólido para medir as taxas de kerma no ar em simulações de procedimentos de cabeça e abdome emum fantoma de PMMA, que posteriormente foram convertidas em dose efetiva por meio dos fatores de conversão de doseefetiva por unidade de kerma no ar, disponíveis na ICRP 74. Os resultados mostram que o aumento da distância entre oprofissional e o fantoma de PMMA em 56 cm provocou reduções de dose em até 82%, enquanto o uso do vidro plumbíferosuspenso reduziu a dose efetiva em 99%. Além disso, alterando a espessura do paciente de 16 para 32 cm de diâmetro,foi verificado um aumento de 26 vezes na dose recebida pelo médico principal.
El Señor de la Morita: A Mexican Folk Saint, Procession, and Rancho
Authors: Sandell David P.
Published: August 2024

Abstract: This article addresses a folk saint and procession, arguing that they are, respectively, an object and medium of becoming. People realize this creative capacity with identification of the folk saint's iconicity that possesses a characteristic of duality, contradiction, and ambiguity—human and divine, living and dead. In one respect, this characteristic is unique to the folk saint and in another, signals a quality of secular life that shows in verbal expression and enactments, referencing Mexico's version of modernity experienced through work in regional industries and abroad. The procession simulates a walk through secular life, whereby people release themselves from this duality by transferring it to the folk saint. They achieve liberty to engage their bodies as they want, supportive and constitutive of one another. The argument responds to scholarship that addresses folk saints for their symbolism of parts of secular life and to an elite, Mexican discourse that defines folklife, inclusive of the rural peasantry who reside in villages called ranchos , as a national symbol, neglecting to explore people's expression of themselves and their communities.

Authors: Safae El gazi  , Ahmed Ibrahimi
Published: August 2024

This article examines the impact of digital literacy on the teaching and learning of French as a Foreign Language (FLE). By integrating digital technologies such as online platforms (Moodle), multimedia resources (TV5Monde), and mobile apps (Duolingo), teachers can diversify their teaching methods and create interactive learning environments. This transformation increases student engagement and improves language skills. However, unequal access to technology and the need for continuous teacher training pose significant challenges. Case studies show positive results, such as at the University of Montreal where the use of Moodle improved students' language skills by 20%. My personal experience with fun games such as Kahoot! and Quizlet confirms these observations, increasing student motivation and participation. In conclusion, digital literacy enriches the teaching of French as a foreign language, but requires efforts to ensure equitable access and teacher training to maximize benefits for all learners.

Breast cancer remains a leading cause of mortality among women worldwide, making early and accurate detection crucial for improving patient outcomes. This study presents a comparative analysis of various machine learning algorithms—EfficientNet, DenseNet, ResNeXt-50, and Support Vector Machine (SVM)—in predicting breast cancer using mammography images. Utilizing a dataset of 5,339 mammograms from the Digital Database for Screening Mammography (DDSM), the models were trained and tested on two classes: benign and malignant lesions. The mammograms underwent preprocessing techniques, including image quality assessment, contrast enhancement, and artifact removal, to ensure high-quality data for model training. The performance of each model was evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and ROC analysis. The results revealed that the EfficientNet model outperformed the other algorithms, achieving an accuracy of 95.23%, sensitivity of 96.67%, and specificity of 93.82%. In contrast, DenseNet exhibited the lowest performance, struggling with the correct classification of cancer cases. The comparative analysis highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each model, offering valuable insights into their potential clinical applications. This research underscores the importance of selecting the appropriate machine learning architecture to enhance the predictive accuracy of breast cancer detection and provides a foundation for integrating these models into clinical practice for personalized treatment planning. Future studies will focus on expanding the dataset and improving model generalizability to diverse patient populations.
