Este artigo tem como objetivo geral verificar a existência de similaridades entre a produtividade agropecuária (banana, feijão, milho, aves, bovinos e caprinos) dos assentamentos rurais das macrorregiões do estado do Ceará. A amostra é formada por 25 assentamentos, distribuídos em 12 municípios. A pesquisa foi realizada através da análise de estatística descritiva e multivariada (análise de agrupamentos ou clusters). Nos resultados, observou-se que os municípios de Crateús e Independência são os que apresentam assimetrias em relação aos demais municípios. De acordo com as estatísticas descritivas, esses dois municípios não têm produtividade nos seis produtos agropecuários verificados. A produção de banana ocorre somente nos assentamentos que estão localizados nos municípios de Baturité, Tamboril, Aracati, Caucaia e Itaiçaba. Também foi visto que há uma concentração da produtividade nos municípios de Baturité e Aracati. A pesquisa revelou ainda que a análise de clusters ou de agrupamentos feita com os assentamentos pertencentes a esses municípios está de acordo com as análises descritivas dos dados da amostra.

Challenges and Opportunities for Women in Disaster Risk Management
Authors: Roy Debaleena , Mukherjee Mahua
Published: September 2024

This study focuses on understanding the challenges faced by women and the opportunities for their inclusion in Disaster Risk Management (DRM) by highlighting the valuable expertise of women in disaster situations and suggesting ways to incorporate this expertise into the strategies. We found a growing recognition of women in disaster-related research, suggesting a potential for incorporating their perspectives into policy frameworks. However, there exists a disconnect between gender-focused research and disaster management practices. The study identifies six interconnected challenges faced by women in DRM, including sociocultural factors, limited access to resources, gender inequality, and inadequate planning. We also identified promising opportunities for including women through active participation, resilience-building, and gender-sensitive strategies. There is a need to focus on their potential for contributing to DRM, along with considering women’s vulnerability. Involving women in all phases of disaster management can enhance community resilience, as well as empower women in various aspects of development. While there’s growing discussion on women in disaster management, future research should explore effective strategies for their inclusion in diverse socio-economic contexts.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Mesenteric cysts (MCs) are a rare pathology of the abdominal cavity (with an incidence of 1/27.000 to 1/250.000 admissions) and less than 1000 cases have been described in the specialized literature.Aim: To identify the characteristics of clinical manifestations, diagnostics, and treatment of MCs.Materials and methods: Within 2001–2017, 17 consecutive patients with MCs were observed. Ultrasound scan (n = 17), computed tomography (n = 15), and magnetic resonance imaging (n = 1) were used to diagnose MC.Results: The mean age of patients with MCs was 43.4 3.5 years (range from 19 to 67), with a significant predominance of women (n = 14, 82.4%). The main clinical symptoms of MCs included abdominal pain (n = 9, 52.9%), pain + abdominal discomfort (n = 4, 23.5%), abdominal pain + nausea (n = 2, 11.8%), and abdominal discomfort (n = 2, 11.8%). In 13 (76%) cases, a palpable mass was noted in the abdominal cavity. According to imaging studies, the largest size of the MCs was 12.1 1.2 cm (from 5 to 20 cm) and the smallest – 8.6 0.8 cm (from 4 to 15 cm). The density of MC contents by computed tomography data varied from 2 to 26 HU. All patients underwent surgery via laparotomy. MCs were significantly more often located in the mesentery of the large bowel (n = 14, 82.4%) as compared to the small intestine (n = 3, 17.6%). The MCs of the small intestine in all cases were located in the mesentery of the jejunum, whereas in the colon lesions, they were distributed as follows: cecum (n = 1, 7.1%), ascending colon (n = 3, 21.4%), transverse colon (n = 7, 50%), and sigmoid colon (n = 3, 21.4%). Most MCs (n = 16, 94.1%) were enucleated, and only in one case segmental resection of small intestine with MCs was performed. The histopathological examination revealed: simple mesothelial MC – in 8 (47.1%), simple lymphatic MC – in 7 (41.2%), and lymphangioma – in 2 (11.7%) cases.Conclusions: MC is a rare pathology of abdominal organs. The clinical manifestations of MCs are nonspecific, and the final diagnosis becomes apparent only during surgery. In most cases, it is possible to perform MC enucleation without long-term recurrences.

Authors: López Guamán Silvana Vanessa , Herrera Ochoa Jeovanny Guillermo
Published: September 2024

Los tributos constituyen uno de los ingresos de mayor importancia, y a través de su recaudación el estado puede financiar los gastos públicos como: salud, educación, obras públicas, etc. El objetivo de la investigación fue estudiar las reformas tributarias y sus incidencias en la recaudación de los impuestos más relevantes del Ecuador, reformas que se dieron a finales del 2021 y cómo afectaron al año 2022.

Esta investigación se basó en una metodología con una investigación bibliográfica y documental, donde se consultaron diversos documentos para obtener información veraz y fidedigna sobre el tema, también se basó en una investigación empírica, esto significa observar las evidencias que permite la comparación de resultados, además se empleó el método deductivo ya que con el respaldo en la información que proporciona el Servicio de Rentas Internas, se utilizaron tablas estadísticas que conllevan a una mejor comprensión y explicación de los efectos conseguidos en este estudio. Dentro de los resultados obtenidos se muestra que las políticas tributarias en Ecuador han experimentado diversas reformas, adaptándose a la situación económica del país y establecidas por el gobierno bajo el control de la administración tributaria.

Estas reformas buscan estimular e incentivar a los contribuyentes para cumplir con sus obligaciones tributarias, con el fin de captar ingresos de empresas públicas o privadas en un período determinado. La volatilidad de las economías, tanto internas como a nivel mundial, provoca la necesidad de reformar las políticas tributarias para garantizar una recaudación adecuada que se ajuste a la dinámica de estos cambios.

Published: September 2024

Esta investigación aborda el problema del crecimiento sostenido de la carga tributaria y su impacto en la inversión privada en Ecuador. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo basado en revisión bibliográfica y se complementó con un modelo econométrico (VAR) para respaldar los resultados. Se utilizaron bases de datos oficiales del BCE y SRI, abarcando el período de 2005 a 2021. No se emplearon muestras, sino datos secundarios procesados en matrices. Los resultados revelan que las reformas tributarias internas durante el período analizado aumentaron los impuestos existentes. Como resultado, la inversión privada mostró una tendencia decreciente entre 2009 y 2013 debido a los significativos aumentos impositivos y la implementación de la mayoría de las reformas tributarias. En conclusión, el uso del modelo Vectores Autorregresivos (VAR) permitió establecer una relación a largo plazo entre la inversión privada y la carga tributaria, lo que sugiere la necesidad de implementar políticas innovadoras para promover un enfoque más efectivo del gasto público, enfocado en infraestructura física e institucional.

Published: September 2024

COVID-19 has significantly disrupted education globally, including in Bangladesh, where schools were closed for nearly two years. The Bangladeshi government initiated a distance learning program via SANGSAD TV starting April 30, 2020, initially for primary and then secondary students. This shift from traditional classroom teaching to remote learning posed challenges, particularly for young students and those from low-income households, impacting them differently based on various factors like household income, gender, electricity, and internet access. To assess the effectiveness of the Remote Learning System (RLS), a comprehensive survey was conducted involving 1,050 Government Primary Schools (GPS) and 554 Junior and Secondary Schools (JSS) across 70 Upazilas in 63 districts. The survey included 50,871 students from grades 3-10, 4,481 teachers, and 1,598 headteachers. Key findings revealed that remote learning was minimally accessed, with only 9-11 per cent of primary students and 16.2 per cent of secondary students engaging with televised educational programs during school closures. Access to necessary devices varied, with 87 per cent of families owning basic mobile phones, 69 per cent having smartphones, and 58 per cent possessing televisions. Despite the availability of remote learning resources, a significant portion of students did not utilise them, with non-usage rates increasing after schools reopened. Headteachers and teachers largely agreed that remote learning was less effective than in-person education, with most preferring a blended approach for future learning. The study underscored the need for improved communication, better content delivery tailored to diverse contexts, and a dedicated budget for remote learning initiatives. Enhanced access to technology and consistent monitoring are crucial for the success of remote learning systems, which, while beneficial, are not a complete substitute for classroom learning.

Hacer del propio ser un regalo de amor:
Authors: Navas David Fernández
Published: September 2024

En su gran texto dedicado al amor — el capítulo 178 de Las Iluminaciones de La Meca—, Ibn ʿArabī comenta siete cualidades (ṣifāt) que, según el Corán, suscitan el amor de Dios hacia los seres humanos. A lo largo de nuestro trabajo analizaremos el comentario akbarí y mostraremos cómo la clave para actualizar dichas cualidades consiste en hacer del propio ser un regalo de amor. O lo que es lo mismo: realizar un movimiento análogo al de Dios en cuanto que El Omni-Compasivo (al-Raḥmān), Quien a cada instante, de modo incondicional y sin esperar nada a cambio, asiste amorosamente a todas y cada una de Sus criaturas.
Estimation of Occupant Compartment Intrusion in Full-Width Rigid Barrier Impacts
Authors: Himmetoglu Sim
Published: September 2024

In this paper, a generic two degree-of-freedom lumped-mass car model is developed which involves separate elements for longitudinal members and occupant compartment structure. This generic car model is validated against full-width rigid barrier (FWRB) crash test data of 7 different cars with model years ranging from 2002 to 2010. The validation process is a system identification procedure providing loading and unloading stiffnesses of cars, the force drop ratio, and the stiffness ratio between longitudinal members and occupant compartment structure. A methodology is developed to estimate the largest intrusion into the occupant compartment which is validated against FWRB crash test results at an impact speed of 56 km/h. The model estimates key responses involving deformations, mean accelerations and rebound velocities with a good level of accuracy. The developed model for FWRB impacts is a useful and analytical tool which can be used in the preliminary design of vehicle safety systems, accident reconstruction and compatibility analyses of cars, and in the assessment of injury risk of lower extremities due to intrusions into the occupant compartment.

Published: September 2024

The work presents the legal framework for the measurement and billing of charging current to end customers. The starting point for this is the perspective of the underlying business process („meter-to-cash process“). On the basis of this process perspective the requirements of energy law, calibration law and data protection law, which must be observed for a legally compliant process, are discussed for various supply constellations. In addition to the term of the end consumer, which plays a central role in the legal conformity of the process, the focus is also on the link to the technical contexts in view of the digitalization and automation of the process.
Improving Patient Understanding of Emergency Department Discharge Instructions
Authors: Russell Sarah , Jacobson Nancy , Pavlic Ashley
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Previous studies have shown that patients in the emergency department (ED) are frequently given incomplete discharge instructions that are written at least four grade levels above the recommended sixth-grade reading level, leading to poor understanding. Our aims in this study were to implement standardized discharge instructions containing six key components written at a more appropriate reading level for common emergency department (ED) diagnoses to improve patient understanding. Methods: We conducted this study in a 20-bed ED at an urban Veteran’s Administration hospital. Data was collected via in-person patient and clinician interviews. Patient interviews were conducted after patients received their discharge instructions. We compared patient responses to clinician responses and marked them as incorrect, partially correct, or correct with a score of 0, 0.5, or 1, respectively. The maximum possible score for each interview was six. Six key components of discharge instructions were asked about: diagnosis; new medications; at-home care; duration of illness; reasons to return; and follow-up. There were 25 patients in the pre-intervention group and 20 in the intervention group with the standardized set of instructions. We performed a Mann-Whitney U test on the total interview scores in the control and intervention groups and conducted a sub-analysis on the individual scores for each of the six key components. Results: The patients in the intervention demonstrated a statistically signiﬁcant increase in patient-clinician correlation when compared to the patients in the pre-intervention group overall (P < 0.05), and two of the six key components of the discharge instructions individually showed statistically signiﬁcant increase in patient-clinician correlation when standardized discharge instructions were used. Conclusion: Patients who received the standardized discharge instructions had improved understanding of their discharge instructions. Future opportunities extending off this pilot study include expanding the number of diagnoses for which standardized instructions are used and investigating patient-centered outcomes related to these instructions.
The Evaluation of 660, 810, and 940nm Laser Wavelengths on Nystatin-Resistant Candida albicans: An In-Vitro Study
Authors: Mohammadi Saeed , Shoorgashti Reyhaneh , Lotfali Ensieh , Lesan Simin , Ebrahimi Hooman
Published: September 2024

Background: Candida albicans is the primary pathogen responsible for oral candidiasis. The emerging resistance of fungi to antifungal agents has led to the development of new fungicidal treatments. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the effects of 660, 810, and 940 nm laser wavelengths on nystatin-resistant C. albicans. Methods: In this in vitro study, a standard strain of C. albicans and eight nystatin-resistant isolates were irradiated with 660, 810, and 940 nm diode lasers for 40 and 80 seconds (s) and compared with nystatin. Colony numbers and nystatin susceptibility were evaluated using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Results: All laser wavelengths significantly decreased the colony count of the standard strain of C. albicans, with 40s of 810 nm laser irradiation causing the maximum reduction in colony count (P810 nm < 0.001). Similarly, all laser wavelengths significantly reduced the colony count of nystatin-resistant isolates, and they were more effective than nystatin (unlike with the standard strain) (P < 0.05). The 810 nm laser irradiation for 40s demonstrated the greatest effect on MIC among the laser groups. Conclusions: The 810 nm laser for 40s was the most effective in reducing the colony count of nystatin-resistant C. albicans, and it eliminated resistance in all clinical isolates.

Il faut savoir désespérer où il faut. Pascal et le désespoir de la philosophie
Authors: Frigo Alberto ,   Zeta Books
Published: September 2024

Whether it's a question of "human philosophy" or of the Christian understanding of action in a regime of efficacious grace, for Pascal despair is always the effect of an error of appreciation. We overestimate our misery and powerlessness, we make them the whole of our being and our action, and so we consider ourselves only miserable and totally powerless. Despair should therefore be prevented and neutralised when it takes hold of the soul, never advocated or fed. Never - except perhaps in one case, and it is this case that we would like to address in this paper. A case that is all the more paradoxical because it is precisely in its proper place, where it is opportune and necessary, that despair appears difficult if not almost impossible to produce.
Sur les interprétations de « tout un autre côté » de Pascal
Authors: Dhombres Jean ,   Zeta Books
Published: September 2024

In 1696, in the Preface to the Analyse des infiniment petits pour l’intelligence des lignes courbes, L'Hôpital wrote, "As for Mr. Pascal, he turned his views completely to another side: he examined the curves themselves." Through the examination of this "completely different side," this article confronts the various possible meanings of a legacy that has been overlooked until today, notably during the Enlightenment era but also at the beginning of the 20th century, in the mathematical realm of infinity applied to the study of curves.
Configurar la propia vida a través de la filosofía
Authors: Saeteros Tamara ,   Order of Augustinian Recollects
Published: September 2024

This article analyzes the situation of the university under the scientometric gaze and the disappearance of humanities from the university cloisters. The paradigm shift that conceives education as a business that must be solvent and generate profits is verified. Through the analytical, critical and hermeneutic method, a reassessment of humanities is carried out as shapers of life for those who study them. Not all philosophy or all reading is good for the person, since this depends on the epistemological foundations on which it rests. This is verified in the study of the case of Augustine of Hippo, who wandered between one school to another, between the Manichaean doctrine and skepticism before the dawn of truth awoke for him. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the need to give place to humanities at university to achieve fuller and more fulfilled human beings.

Searching the true poor
Authors: Eguiarte B. Enrique A. ,   Order of Augustinian Recollects
Published: September 2024

The article addresses Augustine’s explanation of the beatitude Beati pauperes spiritu, quoniam ipsorum est regnum caelorum (Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven), stressing the spiritual implications which Augustine himself highlights in his own exegesis of this text. Namely the identity of the true poor, that include, among other things, humbleness, obedience to God’s will, to be related to the Body of Christ and how monk should live poverty. It also addresses the topic of poverty as the first step in a spiritual Journey towards God. Some anti-Donatist ideas regarding poverty are discussed, especially in the relationship of Augustine with the Donatist Bishop Petilian in the Work Contra litteras Petiliani.
Recruitment Revisited
Authors: Kersten Luke ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: September 2024

The extended mind thesis maintains that cognitive processes and systems can, on occasion, stretch to include parts of the brain, body, and world. One outstanding puzzle facing this view is the “recruitment puzzle”. The recruitment puzzle asks how cognisers are able to reliably recruit internal and external resources such that they form extended systems. Clark (2022) has recently suggested that predictive processing helps to address this puzzle. I argue that, while promising, Clark’s proposal remains incomplete. I suggest that Clark’s proposal can be productively extended by disambiguating two important senses of recruitment: ready-to-hand and adaptive recruitment. After outlining the recruitment puzzle and Clark’s proposal, I suggest that careful attention to these two senses of recruitment helps to reveal further constructive ways of developing the extended mind thesis.

Published: September 2024

To progress communication and sensing in recent years, the Sixth-Generation (6G) network was developed. To transform the technological landscape of model transmission networks we use the 6G network, and it also used to enhance the speed, decrease the latency and improve the connectivity of network. Yet, in the 6G infrastructure with these developments it has severe challenge, that is the 6G network does not negate the benefits of energy consumption associated with network. In 6G communication the sensing performance of the smart device only relay on the available power of the network, and in the 6G communication energy efficiency becomes crucial. To progress the energy efficiency of data transmission in 6G communication networks, we deployed a Data Transmission Rate Allocation (DTRA) method. Moreover, to progress the data transmission of efficient nodes we deploy a Residual Energy Cluster Head (RECH) method. In addition, to improve the reliability and speed in the 6G network we use Dynamic Multipath Routing Protocol (DMRP) method, and it also mitigate the channel defects. Atlast, in the 6G communication networks we certify QoS through optimizing the transmission rate of the user equipment through low energy consumption, and quality of channel by the use of DTRA method. Finally, in this paper we evaluate the metrices performance of the existing methods and proposed method, for instance: efficiency, energy consumption, network lifetime, and transmission speed. After evaluate the performance metrices the DTRA method enhance network lifetime and energy efficiency of 95.3% based on 6G communication networks.

El embarazo adolescente subsecuente presenta desafíos en salud pública, exacerbados por la falta de educación y el acceso limitado a anticonceptivos. El objetivo principal del estudio fue evaluar el Modelo de Cambio de Conducta para el uso de Métodos Anticonceptivos en Madres Adolescentes (MCC-MACMA), aplicando un marco teórico para su análisis, con el fin de profundizar en su comprensión y promover su aplicación en la práctica de enfermería.  Método: Se realizó un análisis reflexivo y descriptivo del MCC-MACMA, utilizando el manuscrito original, obras complementarias y artículos de referencia. Se empleó el marco de evaluación de Fawcett, que permitió analizar el alcance, contexto y contenido de la teoría, además de evaluar su importancia, consistencia interna, parsimonia y comprobabilidad. Resultados principales: El MCC-MACMA es significativo para comprender las motivaciones personales, sociales y ambientales que influyen en el uso de anticonceptivos por madres adolescentes. Aunque es una teoría reciente, ha mostrado aplicabilidad en la práctica clínica, pero se requiere mayor evidencia empírica para validar sus afirmaciones. Conclusión principal: El MCC-MACMA es una teoría valiosa para promover el uso de anticonceptivos, aunque necesita más estudios para consolidar su validez empírica.
A INDISCIPLINA ESCOLAR NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL: O PAPEL DO EDUCADOR E ALGUMAS ESTRATÉGIAS DE PREVENÇÃO
Authors: Mesquita Nilza
Published: September 2024

O artigo buscou compreender a indisciplina escolar na educação infantil, uma temática apontada pelos professores como um dos problemas que afetam significativamente o processo de ensino aprendizagem e o desenvolvimento das crianças. Primeiramente vamos entender como é definida indisciplina escolar pelos educadores e pelos pesquisadores, na sequência o papel dos professores na gestão da indisciplina na sala de aula e estratégias que colaboram para a prevenção da indisciplina. A metodologia utilizada foi de cunho bibliográfico, que faz uso das pesquisas de autores que tratam sobre o tema, discutindo indisciplina escolar, educação infantil, papel dos professores e estratégias de prevenção. Durante a análise bibliográfica percebeu-se que a indisciplina na educação infantil está muito mais atrelada as estratégias pedagógicas utilizadas nessa etapa. E assim a formação inicial e continuada dos professores assume um fator preponderante no que se refere a gestão de sala de aula e prevenção de comportamentos indisciplinados. O uso de estratégias que respeitem os níveis de desenvolvimento das crianças representa contribuições significativas.

A Philosophical Theologian’s Review Essay on Judith Butler’s Who’s Afraid of Gender?
Authors: Tyson Paul
Published: September 2024

Judith Butler’s work relates directly to science and religion concerns. Scientific questions regarding the nature of male and female sex, and the relation of biological sex to Butler’s conception of gender are important concerns in her work. Butler also has an abiding disdain for traditional Christian anthropology with its binary heteronormative sexual ethics. Conservative Christian religion is thus seen by Butler as a moral and political enemy of progressive humanity and reason. For these two reasons, as well as the fact that Butler has had an enormous impact on contemporary culture and law through her gender studies work, it is important that Christians who are interested in science and in the cultural and political currents of our times, understand her work. People who do not usually read postmodern gender theory will find the terrain demanding. Indeed, Butler’s writing is difficult even for professional philosophers to decipher. However, her 2024 book—Who’s Afraid of Gender—is remarkably accessible. Considering the importance to science, religion, and contemporary culture that these matters are, and considering that this is an unusually accessible text by Butler, I here offer a philosophically engaged and theologically critical review essay of Butler’s latest book.
Addressing Pertussis Outbreaks in the Deep South of Thailand, 2024: a Comparative Cost-effectiveness Study of Various Vaccination Coverage Strategies

Published: September 2024

Pertussis outbreaks continue to challenge public health efforts in the Deep South of Thailand. Low vaccination coverage is among many key contributory factors. The objective of this study is to explore policy alternatives aiming to expand vaccination coverage in Thailand’s Deep South. We applied a compartmental model alongside rapid cost-effectiveness analysis to examine how different vaccination strategies impact pertussis cases and associated costs. Four vaccination scenarios with varying coverage levels (ranging from 62% to 91% within a 120-day timeframe) were compared against a scenario with the baseline vaccine coverage (61%). With a reproduction number (R0) of five, the model predicted a remarkable decrease in pertussis cases and fatalities as the vaccination coverage increases. All scenarios yielded cost-saving outcomes, with the scenario of an increase of 10% coverage being the most cost-effective relative to the status quo. However, in high epidemic states (R0=6), the scenario of an increase of 30% coverage was the most optimal for cost-saving in deaths prevention. These results highlight the need for expedite vaccine roll-out and the integration of non-pharmaceutical interventions for pertussis control. Further studies that explore various aspects of the model while incorporating more intricate parameters are recommended.

Criminal Liability in The Perspective of Corporations' Crimes
Authors: Rusyana Endang , Saputera Januar Agung
Published: September 2024

This study explores corporate criminal liability in the context of Indonesia’s legal system, focusing on the complexities arising from corporate crime enforcement. Corporate crime, involving illegal activities by business entities for profit, requires a distinct legal approach since corporations as legal subjects cannot be held accountable in the same way as individuals. The research reviews various laws, including the Limited Liability Company Law and the Anti-Corruption Law, examining the challenges in applying these regulations, particularly in proving corporate intent and responsibility. Using a normative legal research method, the study analyzes legal documents and case studies to understand how Indonesia handles corporate crime. The findings reveal significant enforcement difficulties due to overlapping legal frameworks, gaps in corporate oversight, and insufficient legal mechanisms. International comparisons, such as the U.S. doctrine of "vicarious liability," highlight the potential for stronger corporate governance in Indonesia. The study concludes that harmonizing regulations and strengthening law enforcement are critical to improving corporate criminal liability in Indonesia, with recommendations for better compliance systems and enhanced international cooperation.
