Control de convencionalidad y la valoración aduanera, prevalencia del Acuerdo de Valoración del GATT, suscrito por el estado mexicano
Authors: Pacheco Martínez Filiberto
Published: November 2024

La valoración aduanera es un elemento fundamental del comercio exterior, ya que establece los métodos para determinar el valor de las mercancías que serán importadas, lo cual es crucial para las aduanas. Este proceso permite a los operadores comerciales fijar el valor en aduana de los productos, considerando factores como el tiempo, el precio, el lugar y el prestigio comercial. Cuando se aplica un derecho ad valorem, la correcta determinación del valor en aduana es esencial para calcular el impuesto correspondiente. Sin embargo, este proceso puede generar complicaciones para los importadores. El Acuerdo de la OMC sobre Valoración en Aduana busca implementar un sistema justo, uniforme y objetivo, evitando el uso de valores arbitrarios o ficticios. En la OMC, el Comité de Valoración en Aduana supervisa este trabajo. En el caso de México, los tratados internacionales, según el principio de supremacía constitucional, forman parte de la ley suprema del país, y México ha incorporado los instrumentos relevantes en su normativa.

Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) using Fundus Images
Authors: Sansare Ritesh
Published: November 2024

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision impairment and blindness among adults, resulting from
prolonged diabetes. Early detection and timely intervention are crucial to prevent severe visual outcomes. Manual examinations
of retinal images, are often subjective, time-consuming, and require expert ophthalmologists.
Deep learning has shown remarkable success in image analysis across various medical fields. Its application in diagnosing
diabetic retinopathy can process and evaluate images rapidly, facilitating quicker diagnoses and enabling timely treatment
decisions.
The proposed work highlights the use of CNN, a class of deep learning algorithms to identify relevant features from retinal
images, such as micro aneurysms, hemorrhages, and exudates, which are crucial for diagnosing diabetic retinopathy. The
proposed system detects the type of DR (like No DR, Mild, Moderate, Severe and Proliferative DR) based on CNN classification
with accuracy of 94.35%. The large dataset of the fundus image from Kaggle is used for experimentation. The system is proven
effective in detecting diabetic retinopathy

Authors: Nurhidayat Diat , Sukmawati Dalia
Published: November 2024

The development of the times in the generation Z era, uses information technology so much that it cannot be separated from today’s daily life. This requires us to increasingly utilize this technology to provide positive impacts rather than negative effects. One use that can be used in the field of biology is to provide digital innovation to help people understand how to learn about oyster mushroom cultivation by the community. Fungi are a group of multicellular eukaryotic fungi with body parts consisting of a base. The group of fungi that have a basidium or are known as fruiting bodies are a group of macroscopic fungi. This group of macroscopic fungi has very high nutritional value. High protein and cellulase are one of the nutritional values contained in these fungi. Macroscopic fungi are often found in forest areas or plantations in rural areas. Edible mushrooms are a food ingredient that contains complete nutrition. Fungi can also be used as a medicinal ingredient. Ling-zhi fungus (Ganoderma sp.) is an ingredient in anticancer drugs, increasing fitness, lowering blood sugar, lowering cholesterol, destroying carcinogens, and antibacterial. Shiitake (Lentinus edodes), maitake (Grifola frondosa) and oyster (Pleurotus sp.) mushrooms have been used as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cholesterol, anti-cancer, antiviral and immunomodulator (Wasser, 2002). The benefits and knowledge regarding the potential of large mushrooms have not been well explored. One of the efforts that will be made in community service in Rajadesa village is to provide knowledge to the surrounding community to utilize the potential of natural resources around the village in order to cultivate large mushrooms, namely Pleurotus sp. The potential for villages with cold temperatures can be used as a place for mushroom cultivation coupled with the optimization of simple information technology to assist in the extension process. The results of the technological innovation used in the service will be carried out for two days with the education stage on how important it is to have the ability to cultivate mushrooms. The next stage is counseling regarding techniques for cultivating large mushrooms by utilizing the natural potential that exists in the countryside. As a result of the service, it is hoped that the community will have knowledge about the health benefits of mushrooms, the types of mushrooms that can be cultivated and education regarding mushroom cultivation techniques.

Authors: Nugraha Adhi Surya , Nugraha Danang Satria
Published: November 2024

This study mapped the contemporary research landscape surrounding “oral traditions as a fount of ethnomathematics knowledge” through a bibliometric analysis employed as a methodological procedure. The main problem addressed in this study is the lack of a comprehensive consideration of evolving research trends and intellectual structure within ethnomathematics, i.e., the role of oral traditions as a source of knowledge. Oral traditions, defined as the cultural knowledge, art, ideas, and practices transmitted verbally across generations, offer a rich repository of ethnomathematical insights. 713 publications were identified from the Dimensions database between 2014 and 2024. This bibliometric analysis focused on identifying key research themes, authors, publishers, keywords, or key terms distributions within the corpus of extracted publications, as well as temporal trends in publication activity and citation patterns. The findings revealed a growing interest in the field, focusing on (a) educational context, (b) cultural studies, and (c) the intersection of mathematics and language. The analysis also identified key research themes, such as (a) the role of language and culture in shaping mathematical thought, (b) the development of ethnomathematical practices, and (c) the pedagogical implications of incorporating ethnomathematics into formal education. Additionally, 11 influential scholars who are driving the field forward were identified. According to the term distribution analysis, of the 6,092 terms, 316 met the threshold (minimum number of occurrences of the term: 6). For each 316 terms, a relevance score has been calculated. Based on this score, the most relevant terms have been selected. The VOSviewer’s default setting (60% of the most relevant terms) resulted in selecting 190 terms. Based on the given criteria, there is a result of 5 distinctive clusters related to the query that emerged. This study provides theoretical insights into the conceptual foundations of ethnomathematics derived from oral traditions and empirical evidence for informing future research directions and pedagogical practices in mathematics education.

Authors: Grupa Małgorzata , Jarzęcki Krzysztof
Published: November 2024

W artykule przedstawiono tzw. skarb bydgoski, znaleziony w czasie systematycznych badań archeologicznych w katedrze bydgoskiej w styczniu 2018 r. Wstępna analiza jego zawartości — monet, dewocjonaliów, biżuterii — pozwoliła na określenie przedziału czasu gromadzenia tych przedmiotów na ok. 157 lat (1495–1652). Charakterystyka artefaktów daje różne możliwości interpretacji odkrytych klejnotów. Zgromadzone informacje są podstawą do wskazania mieszczan lub okolicznej szlachty jako potencjalnych posiadaczy opisanego majątku. Czas zakończenia gromadzenia monet (1652) pozwala na przypuszczenie, że w czasie zagrożenia wojennego zebrane dobra umieszczono pod posadzką kościoła św. św. Marcina i Mikołaja. Właściciel tego majątku mógł zginąć i nie przekazać nikomu informacji o jego zdeponowaniu.
Genetic Diversity of Field Pea Genotypes (Pisum sativum L.) in Relation to their Plant Type using Multivariate and Genotype-by-Trait Biplot Analysis
Authors: Assen Kedir Yimam , Haile Gebeyaw Achenef , Shuro Aliyi Robsa
Published: November 2024

The present study was conducted during June–November, 2019 at Bekoji and Kofele substation of Kulumsa Agricultural Research Center (KARC) with the aim to assess the genetic diversity among field pea genotypes for desired morpho-agronomic traits. A total of 49 Field pea genotypes, representing two different plant types were evaluated for 13 characters. Through cluster analysis, the genotypes were grouped into five categories based on the Euclidean distance matrix using the complete linkage method. Cluster one had the most genotypes (20), while cluster five had the fewest (2). Genetic distances among genotypes estimated by Euclidean distances from 13 traits ranged from 14.76 to 5514.77. Principal component and biplot analyses showed that seed yield, plant height, days to 90% maturity, number of pods per plant and seeds per plant were the main factors contributing to genotype divergence. Additionally, genotypes in the prostrate (leafed) type of field pea had a greater genetic distance (diversity) compared to those in the erect (semi-leafless) type. In general this study showed the presence of considerable diversity for the studied traits in field pea genotypes, with differences between plants types even though the dendrogram and PCA didn’t show clear cut (distinct) grouping pattern in field pea genotypes with respect to their plant types and sources. This implies an opportunity for improving desired traits in a field pea breeding program through selection or hybridization of these divergent genotypes. Thus, crossbreeding promising parents, especially selected from advanced prostrate and erect types, can result in a good level of genetic recombination.

MAGIC (Multiparent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross) breeding is a powerful approach that has gained significant attention in horticultural crop improvement. By inter crossing multiple diverse parental lines over multiple generations, MAGIC breeding aims to capture and combine genetic diversity to enhance desirable traits in the offspring. Magic breeding focuses on enhancing traits such as yield, quality, disease resistance, and stress tolerance in horticultural crops such as fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and herbs. This method harnesses the power of genetic diversity within plant populations, utilizing advanced tools such as marker-assisted selection, genomic selection, and gene editing to accelerate the breeding process and achieve targeted outcomes. Overall, MAGIC breeding represents a promising avenue for sustainable horticultural crop improvement, offering opportunities to create cultivars that are more productive, resilient, and nutritious, thereby contributing to food security, environmental sustainability, and economic prosperity in agriculture. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the principles, applications, and advantages of MAGIC breeding in horticultural crops. It explores the breeding process, the impact on genetic variation, trait improvement, and the potential for discovering novel gene combinations. Additionally, the review discusses the challenges, current progress, and future prospects of MAGIC breeding, shedding light on its potential to revolutionize horticultural crop improvement.
SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL B-VALUE ANALYSIS OF THE YOGYAKARTA REGION USING EARTHQUAKE DATA 1960 – 2024
Authors: R Sari Rahayu , Madrinovella Iktri
Published: November 2024

Yogyakarta is one of the areas in Indonesia with a high risk of earthquakes due to its proximity to the subduction zone of the Indo-Australian Plate and Eurasian Plate and the presence of active fault activity, namely the Opak fault, which generates shallow earthquakes. A total of 13 destructive earthquakes were recorded in Yogyakarta and surrounding areas from 1840 to 2023, with the most destructive earthquake occurring in 2006 in Bantul. A total of 417 earthquakes were felt in the Yogyakarta area between May 2006 and March 2016. The high earthquake activity after the 26 May 2006 earthquake indicates a stress field on the active fault segment that has not been fully released.  This study aims to analyze the seismotectonic parameter b-value spatially and temporally to determine the accumulation of tectonic stress in Yogyakarta. The method used is a frequency-magnitude distribution with Gutenberg-Richter relation and Maximum Likelihood approach. Earthquake data were obtained from ISC and BMKG catalogs, with a total of 205 events. The results show that spatially, the b-value of the Yogyakarta region is generally low with a range of values of 0.35 - 0.75 using a grid of 1.5 x 1.5 km and a radius of 15 km with low values around the Opak fault and Ngalang Fault, meaning that the area still holds a high accumulation of stress energy and has the potential for large earthquakes to occur again in the future. Temporal analysis of the b-value shows a tendency for the b-value to decrease before a large earthquake and increase afterwards, reflecting the accumulation and release of stress in the rock.

Efficient use of energy and resources is vital for fostering the sustainable development of our planet and fighting hidden hunger. One way to address this issue is by preserving the quality of raw materials from fruits over a prolonged period. However, fruits have the highest rate of losses and waste among food products. Incorrect selection of cooling procedures and inappropriate cooling rates can lead to post-harvest quality losses, which in turn will result in loss of product quality and energy. Research into methods capable of minimizing losses and extending the storage life of fruits is essential to determine their effectiveness. The purpose of the research was to evaluate the impact of different cooling methods on the reduction of losses and the extension of the shelf life of cherries. The study involved sweet cherries of different ripening periods (Melitopolska chorna, Krupnoplidna and Valerii Chkalov) and sweet cherries of the Vstriecha variety. The influence of room cooling, forced air cooling, hydrocooling with the addition of lactic and acetic acid, and combined cooling method on cooling rate, weight loss, epiphytic microflora condition, respiratory intensity and heat generation during cherry storage was analyzed. The highest fruit weight losses were observed when using the forced air cooling method, ranging from 1.76 to 1.96%. The combined cooling method for cherries and sour cherries reduced average fruit weight losses by 11.3-22.9 times compared to other methods. When using the combined method, the number of bacteria and fungi on the surface of cherry fruits remained at the same level as before cooling or decreased by 10 to 40% depending on the variety. On the surface of the fruits of the Vstriecha sour cherry variety, the number of bacteria and fungi decreased from 20 to 60% compared to the indicators of the epiphytic microflora before cooling. The proposed combined precooling method is determined to be the most effective in terms of technological indicators and preservation of the quality of cherry and sour cherry fruits. Further studies of the impact of cooling methods on cherry quality will allow the development of mathematical modeling approaches to quantitatively describe precooling processes throughout the entire refrigeration chain for fruit preservation.
Leveraging Unseen Features along with their PLM-based Representation to Handle Negative Covariate Shift Problem in Text Classification
Authors: Wasi Nesar Ahmad , Abulaish Muhammad
Published: November 2024

This paper presents a novel approach to address the problem of negative covariate shift by using unseen features. Covariate shift occurs when there is a drift between the data observed during the training and testing phase of a machine learning model. Covariate shift typically transpires in the negative class as a consequence of the swift evolution of topics discussed therein, which is driven by the characteristics of online social media. Because there is a shift in data, it signals that the data is changing, and it includes features that the trained model did not see during the training phase. We refer to such features as unseen features. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to use unseen features to address negative covariate shift problem. The proposed approach is compared to three baselines and one state-of-theart method. The experimental results obtained from a multi-domain sentiment dataset show that the proposed approach outperforms the baselines and state-of-the-art approaches by a significant margin in terms of various performance evaluation metrics.

Use of Eristics by Polish Managers
Authors: Ignatowski Grzegorz
Published: November 2024

Objective

The aim of this article is to find out to what extent and for what reasons managers use unethical eristic tricks to persuade their employees.

Methodology

The research used qualitative methods, in-depth interviews with eleven managers, which were conducted in May and June 2024. The selection of respondents was purposive, allowing for a deeper understanding of the issue.

Findings

Managers know and use eristic tricks in their professional work and their use is driven by effectiveness, regardless of the fact that they are considered unethical.

Value added

The use of eristic tricks in management is not widely discussed in the literature and, in the long term, their use negatively affects the functioning of any organisation.

Recommendations

The results of the research and the negative effects of eris-tic behaviour in organisational management should be of interest to managers, creators of codes of ethics in organisations and trainers of the art of persuasion. Eristic behaviour should be avoided in communication with staff and in the management of organisations.
Organizational Identity and Workplace Stress: Investigating the Impact of Organizational Culture on Stressors
Authors: Dziedzic Justyna Jolanta
Published: November 2024

Objective

The study explores the intersection of organizational identity and work-related stress, focusing on how corporate culture shapes employees’ well-being. It specifically investigates how the unique dimensions of an organization’s identity contribute to stress factors, influencing individual performance and collective outcomes.

Methodology

This research employs a qualitative analysis of the literature. Case studies from Amazon and UBER were used to examine the impact of organizational culture on stress and to understand how different organizational identity factors affect employee well-being.

Findings

The study highlights that stress in the workplace is not only due to workload but it is also linked to factors inherent in organizational identity, such as cultural conflicts, lack of control, and role ambiguity. Firms with rigid, hierarchical cultures exhibit higher stress levels, whereas those promoting autonomy and social support show lower stress-related issues. A model of stress-inducing organizational identity was introduced, derived from the Uber and Amazon case study.

Value

This research contributes to understanding the role of organizational identity in shaping stress and offers insights into fostering a healthier work environment through identity-conscious management practices.

Recommendations

Organizations should align their identity with employee well-being strategies by promoting a culture of transparency, autonomy, and support. Implementing policies that reduce role ambiguity and offer social support can mitigate stress-related outcomes, improving employee satisfaction and organizational efficiency.
Modelling Suitable Layout for a Small Island Harbour: A Case Study of Ruhnu in the Gulf of Riga, Eastern Baltic Sea
Authors: Männikus R. , Wang W. W. , Eelsalu M. , Najafzadeh F. , Bihs H. , Soomere T.
Published: November 2024

We explore the complexity of various drivers and local constraints from the viewpoint of developing a feasible re-design of a small harbour that is affected by ultra-refraction of storm waves. Waves propagating towards the Port of Ruhnu on a small island in the central part of the Gulf of Riga are systematically redirected by underwater features so that saturated waves in virtually all storms propagate almost exactly into the harbour entrance. A new design of the port entrance and associated set of breakwaters is largely steered by the location of the port and options for the fairway into the port. The re-design of the breakwaters and possible relocation of the entrance considers the specific features of the local wind, wave, and water level climate, including period-depending refraction of storm waves. We present systematic analysis of these aspects using recorded and modelled wind and water level time series. Wave properties are reconstructed using the WAVE module (SWAN) of the Delft3D suite forced with ERA5 and local wind information. Phase-resolving modelling of waves (REEF3D software) reveals the presence of a bi-modal wave field in the interior of the port and provides alternatives for the design of effective protection options that suppress single wave components. On many occasions, greatly simplified models and local one-point wind properties provide even better match with recorded wave properties than sophisticated models and global data sets.

Heating accounts for significant primary resource consumption and generation up to 30 % of total GHG emissions in the EU27. The ambitious emissions reduction goals outlined in the European Green Deal and Fit for 55 package necessitate not only the massive renovation of building stocks, but also reconstruction of heat generation and supply systems. With 76 % of the EU building stock located in urban areas, the renewal of urban heating systems is crucial.

An easy-to-use methodology has been developed for managing long-term renovation programmes and regularly assessing renovation projects, thereby forming a comprehensive dynamic vision on the progress. This methodology enables flexible, rapid and, at the same time, sufficiently accurate and objective analysis of the potential and benefits of various heating system renovation projects and their variants at the pre-design stage, as well as their comparison according to efficiency. It employs a limited number of open indicators and does not require specialised knowledge in thermal physics, economics and/or construction.

The developed methodology provides insights into (1) achievable heat consumption and primary energy savings, (2) reduction of dominant CO2 emissions, (3) changes in heating tariffs and costs, and (4) required investments.

The methodology is intended for use by: (1) municipalities to streamline sustainable planning and management of urban heating systems and to facilitate interaction with owners of buildings and local heating systems, and (2) national authorities monitoring the implementation of national programmes under Fit for 55.

This study explores the laser-induced hydrothermal synthesis of ZnO nanostructures, focusing on the influence of various growth parameters. Using a laser to locally heat the synthesis solution, we achieved controlled growth of ZnO nanostructures. We examined the effects of laser power, exposure time, reagent concentration, and the addition of polyethyleneimine (PEI) on the morphology and distribution of the nanostructures. Results indicate that higher laser powers and extended exposure times lead to increased nanostructure diameters and heights, though they also introduce growth instability. Lower reagent concentrations produce needle-like structures, while higher concentrations yield larger but irregular formations. The addition of PEI accelerates growth, resulting in longer nanorods with reduced height variation but causes a chaotic structural arrangement and the formation of parasitic nanostructures. These findings underscore the critical role of growth parameters in tailoring the properties of ZnO nanostructures for potential applications.

The integration of electrospun nanofibres into composite materials such as carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) and glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRPs) has gained significant attention for enhancing their mechanical and thermal properties. This study focuses on the impact of incorporating polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based nanofibres into an epoxy matrix to form multi-layered laminate composites. Our approach involved interleaving these orientated nanofibres within CFRP/GFRP matrices to investigate improvements in bulk material characteristics. The tensile and thermal properties of the resulting nanocomposites were thoroughly analysed. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was employed to evaluate the thermal stability and degradation behaviour. In particular, nanocomposites exhibited an increase of 5–24 % in elastic modulus, aligning with predictions from analytical models. This research underscores the potential of PAN nanofibre mats for the development of lightweight, high-performance nanocomposites, offering a novel methodology for the enhancement of composite materials.

Several seminal fluid peptides (SFP) are critical for gametogenesis and reproduction related physiological processes in insects. Male seminal fluid induced mating results in post mating physiological responses (PMR) in the female, further impacting the reproductive success of the mating pair. We have previously reported Diazepam-binding inhibitor (DBI) protein in the lepidopteran Helicoverpa armigera with species specific PMR response. In the present study, we study the biophysical properties of the DBI protein with bioinformatics methods, further; we map its origin and diversification in the Heliothine clade using molecular evolutionary methods. Our analysis suggests unique biophysical properties of the protein such as four α helices, high exposed and disordered regions. Further, the Proteins B-Value and ProNA values are indicative of its roles in lipid metabolism. High aliphatic amino-acid composition and conservation of protein domain at unique residues along with the hydrophobicity and transmembrane index are indicative of the relative solubility of amino acid residues conferring adaptability. Evolutionary analysis indicated the gene has undergone selection. Further, several unique evolutionary-constrained domain residues/regions (ECRs) in the protein are suggestive of their roles in reproduction related physiological mechanisms. Our data implicate that the protein DBI has undergone evolutionary variation through the micro-evolution process enabled through adaptive mutation in the proteins conferring flexibility and adaptability, thus ensuring genus and species specific specificity.

Comics as a kind of creolized text can quite often be a marker of an era. The reflection of a particular historical period can manifest itself in a creolized text either explicitly or more covertly. For example, it may be a cartoon pointing to corruption in a particular country and thereby demonstrating a specific problem. Along with this, the researcher can pay attention to such details as the language of the text written on a poster or in an advertisement, which can say a lot about the course of the policy pursued by the authorities within the state. Thus, comics in particular are of great interest to the history of journalism, since, along with other types of creolized text, they are both literally and figuratively an illustration of a particular period. The object of the study is comics published in Arab countries in the second half of the XX – early XXI centuries; The subject of the study is the reflection of the socio-political processes of that time in comics. To achieve the set goals and objectives, the following methods of scientific research are used in the work: the method of analysis, the method of synthesis, the method of induction, the method of generalization. In the course of the conducted research, it was found out that the history of Arabic-language comics originates in the late 1940s in Egypt – this country has long been the main center of comic book creation and only eventually shared this role with Lebanon.Comics as a genre and comics as an extremely important source for historians have not lost their relevance. Moreover, as a plastic mass, it is ready and has all the possibilities to exist in the realities of today, when the speed of modern technologies is prohibitive. There are a huge variety of platforms for both publishing and reading comics. Various gadget apps and social networks help authors find their audience. Artificial intelligence, in relation to which a large amount of both fears and hopes have already been expressed, certainly also does not stand aside and will participate in the creation of comics.
