Authors: Fuentes Coroy Tania Lizette
Published: July 2024

El sector energético ha demostrado ser un motor de cambio para el mundo a lo largo de la historia, considerado como uno de los elementos más importantes para la evolución de la industria y nuestra sociedad, de igual modo la configuración del régimen regulatorio especial de este sector en México ha ido transformándose a lo largo del tiempo conforme a los paradigmas constitucionales que imperan en cada momento por los que nuestro país ha transitado, demandando una adecuación constante hasta la implementación del modelo de Estado regulador hasta hace algunos meses en vías de consolidación. Sin embargo, se aduce que la aplicabilidad regulatoria en la industria de los energéticos sigue enfrentando la carencia de un adecuado diseño de políticas públicas de protección al medio ambiente, toda vez que hasta ahora las normas jurídicas que lo integran, únicamente se han ocupado de la protección del entorno como bien jurídico tutelado, y no en que la misma se alcance de manera sustentable.

PT Benteng Api Technic was founded in 1997 and produces refractory bricks, refractory cement and various refractory materials. Refractory cement or castable currently still uses a pre-order system before the production process is carried out. During observations for seven days with 38 observations, there were activities that were felt to be less efficient, then the value stream mapping method was carried out to streamline waste. The result is a defect when the production process is finished, there is a repetition of the production process because it does not pass the feasibility test, processing because a lot of leftover material falls in the bagging section and the material is no longer used. Waiting is the average part of weighing materials/products of 1.54 seconds (waiting for the material composition recipe and weighing platform trouble/error). Material mixing section with an average/product of 1.82 seconds (waiting for machine repairs due to leaking air duct). Total production lead time is 3396 seconds. Once the waste is identified, the next step is to eliminate the activity by testing data adequacy and testing data uniformity. The results of the analysis of the castable production process contained 2 analyses, the first analysis by reducing activity time with an average total time of 3285 seconds/44 cement and the second analysis by reducing and eliminating the cement weighing activity in the bagging section with a total time of 2873 seconds/44 cement

Authors: Anggraeni Herlina Nur , Murnawan Hery
Published: July 2024

Pupuk merupakan suatu bahan yang ditujukan untuk proses perbaikan kesuburan tanah. Sedangkan pemupukan adalah suatu usaha penambahan zat hara tanaman melalui tanah (Hardjowigeno, 1987). Pada umumnya, sebagian besar petani di Indonesia menggunakan pupuk jenis kimia dalam melakukan perawatan tanaman yang dibudidayakannya, termasuk petani di Minggirsari Kecamatan Kanigoro, Blitar. Minggirsari merupakan salah satu desa yang bergerak pada bidang pertanian dengan komoditas yang dimilikinya adalah padi, jagung, dan cabai. Sebagai bentuk perawatan dalam hal pemupukan pada tanaman tersebut, sebagian pengadaan pupuk kimia diperoleh dari subsidi pemerintah. Sementara itu, kekurangannya akan ditutup dengan pupuk non-subsidi dimana harganya yang mahal mengakibatkan biaya produksi yang dikeluarkan menjadi besar. Oleh sebab itu, potensi pendapatan dari hasil penjualan tidak dapat diperoleh secara optimal. Merujuk pada permasalahan tersebut, upaya dalam me-reduce cost production salah satunya adalah melalui keberalihan penggunaan pupuk kimia menjadi pupuk non-kimia. Dengan demikian, akan dilakukan pengembangan strategi tersebut untuk melihat efek selama sepuluh tahun kedepan dari base data asli menggunakan metode simulasi sistem dinamis. Adapun rata-rata potensi hasil panen berdasarkan simulasi model tanam melalui pemanfaatan lahan sawah produktif adalah 535.61 ton padi, 398.29 ton jagung, dan 83.83 ton cabai dengan total keuntungan sebesar Rp6,248,722,766.60.

From the results of this study, the factors that have a significant effect are the factor of feeding speed, horizontal speed, and the interaction between the factors of rotating speed and feeding speed and the optimal cutting roll machine settings are rotating speed with a level of 50 rpm, feeding speed with a level of 125 rpm and horizontal speed with a level of 50 rpm
Eco-Friendly Roller Compacted Concrete: A Review
Authors: Abd Almajeed Shahad Qais , Abbas Zena K.
Published: July 2024

Sustainable evolution is vital to address miscellaneous issues, and experts are currently exploring the possibilities of Eco-Friendly concrete (Green concrete). This type of concrete involves using environmentally and economically viable substances that can act as entire or partial replacements for conventional materials. By doing so, it can assist in reducing the consumption of natural resources and energy, as well as minimize pollution. For example, several researchers have performed on incorporating sustainable approaches in roller compacted concrete RCC by replacing certain substances with eco-friendly alternatives. That is a favorable step toward devising more sustainable construction practices. Therefore, this study resorted to reapplying recycled plastic garbage (sustainable plastic) to construct environmentally eco-friendly concrete (green concrete). First, examine the possibility of using plastic as a partial substitute for fine-aggregates in RCC mixtures. Second, examination of the possibility of using plastic as a partial substitute for coarse-aggregates in RCC mixtures to enhance the performance of RCC.  In early periods, a suitable RCC mix was designed in the lab to test the concrete strength, freezing-thawing, permeability, durability, erosion, and porosity of set concrete. The findings confirmed that RCC can maintain the same properties as traditional concrete using the known mixtures. Trial tests were designed and organized to evaluate the quality of pouring and compaction operations, suitable mix composition, and void specimens to accomplish testing on the constructed RCC.  It has shown that RCC with prime ingredients and proper ratios can be performed with similar strength and durability as conventional concrete. However, RCC differs from ordinary concrete pavements. This technology provides a favorable economical alternative for many branches of civil engineering installations.

He wanted to be “just an artist”. On the 100th anniversary of Jerzy Nowosielski’s birth
Authors: Fedyukina Elena ,   Kosygin State University of Russia
Published: July 2024

The article reveals the main milestones of the creative biography of the Polish icon painter Jerzy Nowosielski, whose centenary of birth is celebrated this year, and the explicit keys are supposed to be acquired with the purpose of clearly understanding his work as an impulse towards spiritual reality that transforms the world. The subject of the analysis has become predominantly the artist’s thoughts about Orthodoxy, art, and his main objectives, the essential issues of the modern icon, the prospects and purpose of icon painting, which have been represented both in the form of essays and sketches, and in numerous interviews. Novoselski’s work is considered as the realization of the mission of the icon-painting tradition and creating a modern icon in accordance with existing canons. Owing to the artist’s views on icon painting, the originality of his work and creativity are disclosed in many respects, in which the boundaries between painting and icon are blurred. At the same time, Novoselski’s work was caused by a misunderstanding of his coreligionists, which, however, would not prevent the artist from realizing his creative plans.
On the hetman Ivan Mazepa’s escape to Swedish camp: some new documents of the Field Chancery of Alexander Menshikov
Authors: Kochegarov Kirill ,   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2024

The escape of hetman Ivan Mazepa to the Swedish camp was totally unexpected for the Russian government and thus changed radically the political situation in Ukraine, which was, in Autumn of 1708 – the first half of 1709, the site of one of the most important stages of the Russian-Swedish struggle during the Great Northern War 1700–1721. The Russian authorities did their best to stabilize the situation, and Mazepa tried to win support of the Ukrainian Cossacks by any means possible. The first weeks of the hetman’s stay in the Swedish camp have always been the focus of attention for scholars who study this decisive point in Russian-Ukrainian relationships in the Early Modern period. Testimonies of prisoners of war and deserters play an important role in the reconstruction of those events. This publication presents four such documents, extracted from the archives of the field chancery of Alexander Menshikov. There are testimonies of prisoners of war from the Swedish army, but the most important ones are protocols of interrogation of Cossack-deserters from the camp of Ivan Mazepa, including mercenaries from the infantry regiment of the colonel Jakov Pokotilo and Stefan Romanchuk, the Cossack of Gadiach regiment. The most detailed description of Mazepa’s steps and actions during first weeks after his treason was made by Kornej Savin, the sotnik of Priluky regiment. All documents are published for the first time.

Published: July 2024

This paper investigates a transfer learning approach to solve the spoken dialects identification problem for some under-resourced dialects of the Maghrebi region, including Algerian Arabic Dialect (AAD), Algerian Berber Dialect (ABD), Moroccan Arabic Dialect (MAD), andMoroccan Berber Dialect (MBD). In our experiments, we used different Transfer learning models, namely: Residual Neural Network (Resnet50, Resnet101), and Visual Geometric Group (VGG16, VGG19) using anin-house corpus that we built for each dialect. The corpus is composed of ten digits recorded for each of the aforementioned dialects, repeated ten times by six native speakers. The results vary according to different reasons: the number of epochs, neurons, batch size, and also the datasets combinations used in training and test phases. The best score found is 90.4% by the VGG19 model. Overall, the results show the robustness of our system based on the VGG16 model with an average identification rate of 62.7%.

Detecting Spurious Effects in Cross-Lagged Panel Models: Triangulation is Not a Valid Test
Authors: Lucas Richard E. , Weidmann Rebekka , Brandt Mark John
Published: July 2024

The cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) is an analytic technique used to examine the reciprocal causal effects of two or more variables assessed on two or more occasions. Although widely used, the CLPM has been criticized for relying on implausible assumptions, the violation of which can often lead to biased estimates of causal effects. Recently, a *triangulation method* has been proposed to identify spurious effects in simple CLPM analyses [e.g., @sorjonen_spurious_2024]. We use simulations and a discussion of the formulas underlying regression coefficients to show that this method does not provide a valid indicator of spuriousness. This method identifies true causal effects as spurious in realistic situations and should not be used to diagnose whether a causal effect estimated from the CLPM is spurious or not. There are clear reasons to doubt causal estimates from the CLPM, but the results of the triangulation method do not add information about whether such estimates are spurious.
Exploring the Role of Teacher Self-Efficacy and Personal Environmental Practices in Integrating Sustainability into Their Teaching: A Network Analysis of German Teachers
Authors: Daumiller Martin , Keller Melanie V. , Dresel Markus
Published: July 2024

The integration of sustainability and environmental conservation into school curricula has be-come increasingly important. Teachers are viewed as key actors in this process, often referred to as “change agents”. Many are not specifically prepared for Education for Sustainable Devel-opment (ESD), and there is considerable variation in how explicitly or implicitly teachers address such topics in their teaching. Knowledge on interpersonal factors shaping this variability is still scarce, along with insights into their nomological net. Against this background, this study ex-plores the relationships between teachers’ incorporation of sustainability in their lessons, their self-and action-efficacy, personal attitudes, eco-anxiety, private engagement, and knowledge, alongside perceived student interest and pressure, and school awareness. We surveyed 419 teachers from various school types in Germany (M = 45 years, SD = 10.9; 68% female; average teaching experience = 16 years, SD = 9.9) relying on established scales and a knowledge test. The results revealed significant differences in how frequently teachers incorporated sustainabil-ity into their teaching, which were not systematically related to school type, gender, or teacher training. Network analyses highlighted that self-efficacy and private engagement, rather than teachers’ knowledge, play a central role. Private engagement also showed high centrality indices and functioned as key bridge in the network, while high self-efficacy beliefs were particularly strongly tied to frequent ESD implementation in the classroom. We discuss how this points to both being two functionally different, but relevant points of interest for supporting teachers in incorporating sustainability in their lessons.

Authors: Andino Jocelyn , Jiménez Álvaro , Vayas Eliza
Published: July 2024

La dieta alimenticia es de vital importancia para entender problemas de salud como la obesidad, la anorexia o la bulimia. La adolescencia y la etapa juvenil son esenciales para la formación y adquisición de hábitos alimentarios saludables. Son edades en las que se producen grandes cambios físicos en muy pocos años y que también están llenos de nuevas experiencias como la educación universitaria, la cual puede influir en menor o mayor grado en la dieta de los jóvenes y en sus posibles trastornos alimentarios. Hoy en día, Ecuador no contempla la anorexia o la bulimia como asuntos de salud pública, por lo que no se están otorgando recursos para hacerles frente.Esta investigación se centra en analizar las posibles diferencias entre adolescentes (15 a 18 años) y jóvenes universitarios (18 a 30 años) respecto a sus hábitos alimentarios y posibles trastornos. Se encuestó a 603 alumnos de diversos centros educativos de la ciudad de Ambato, capital de la provincia de Tungurahua, en el centro de la sierra ecuatoriana.Los resultados muestran como los universitarios son quienes peor alimentación tienen, así como mayores trastornos relacionados con la imagen corporal.Se concluye que el estilo de vida de adolescentes y jóvenes universitarios es una de las principales causas del empeoramiento alimentario. A su vez, se termina con algunas recomendaciones para solucionar los problemas encontrados con el objetivo de mejorar la salud de los ciudadanos.

La perspectiva sobre la salud y nutrición ha cambiado radicalmente debido a la creciente conciencia de las enfermedades derivadas de una mala alimentación. En este sentido, la harina de chocho (Lupinus mutabilis) emerge como una interesante alternativa como ingrediente para el desarrollo de alimentos funcionales gracias a su elevado contenido de proteínas y fibra. Este estudio formuló una galleta funcional con harina de chocho, analizando sus propiedades fisicoquímicas, reológicas y de textura, además de su aceptabilidad mediante análisis sensoriales. La harina reveló un elevado contenido proteico (49.58%) y de fibra dietética total (24.40%) comparado con la harina de trigo. La galleta de harina de chocho presentó un porcentaje de proteína (26.31%) cinco veces más alto que las galletas de harina de trigo comerciales. El análisis de textura indicó mayor dureza y fracturabilidad. Finalmente, el análisis reológico realizado en Mixolab, indicó que la harina de chocho posee un desarrollo de masa (120 Nm) y poder de hinchamiento (0.50 Nm) comparables a la harina de trigo. El estudio sugiere que la galleta de harina de chocho desarrollada podría resultar como una posible alternativa de snack para celiacos con alto contenido proteico y un nivel de aceptabilidad agradable para todo tipo de consumidor.

{The present article focuses on the study of the novels written by Palpali authors focusing on the effect of cyber. Although cyber itself is not a theory, after the development of cyber civilization, its influence began to be seen in literature. Therefore, it seems that the concept of cyber criticism has been developed for the study of literary works affected by cyber in postmodern pluralistic criticism. From the year 2006, Palpali authors seem to have started writing novels. In this context, cyber is used in the novels of Sita Bishta Karki (Sivika) and Shiv Basyal's Bismita, while another woman novel written by Neelam Karki Niharika also uses cyber. In the present article, the novels of Palpali authors, which use cyber as the subject, have been studied in relation to cyber theory. Therefore, the study has been completed using survey, identification study method as well as basically analytical method under qualitative study. Focusing on the main problem of which of the Palpali novelists have used cyber in their novels, analyzing them in relation to the cyber theory, two novels of Palpali novelists, Sanghar Naghe Ke Orta and Bismita, are important from the point of view of the presentation of cyber civilization, and the partial use of cyber in another woman's novel has been analyzed in this study. It is presented as a conclusion.}
