Población, movimiento e identidad. San Martín Mexicapan y Santo Tomás Xochimilco en la época colonial
Authors: Palma Silva Marlen Donají
Published: May 2024

El propósito de este texto es examinar la situación de dos poblados nahuas asentados en la zona aledaña de la Villa de Antequera, Oaxaca. Se revisa el arribo de estos grupos de “aliados” en el siglo XVI, así como el proceso de reacomodo territorial de la zona que se dio en consecuencia de la fundación de la ciudad y estos pueblos. Para el siglo XVII se reconoce la reconstrucción de la identidad, nutrida de elementos del pasado prehispánico y que respondía a las necesidades de su presente. Mientras que, para el XVIII, se analiza el desarrollo de una tenencia de la tierra ligada a los nexos comerciales que establecían con los españoles. Así mismo, se reflexiona sobre la aparición de moradores "no indios" y sus consecuencias para estas poblaciones. El trabajo permitirá entender la adscripción étnica como un fenómeno histórico cambiante y maleable y observar elementos como el contexto y la territorialidad que fueron decisivos en la manera en la que estos habitantes se auto percibieron y construyeron su realidad.

Analyzing the OpenAI Chatbot writing on Economic Development: The case for High Pyrenees and Aran Region and IDAPA
Authors: Nobre Guilherme Fráguas
Published: May 2024

The paper aims analyzing the use of OpenAI Chatbot as an academic writer. The Chatbot was asked to write about Economic Development, specifically about the High Pyrennes and Aran Region (HPAR) and its regional economic development institute – IDAPA. The method used was exploratory, but also analogous to the “reinforcement learning” (section 1). After the introduction, the Chatbot was asked to write a paper on the economy of HPAR (section 2). Due to the incompleteness of the task, the Chatbot was then asked to write only paragraphs about IDAPA (section 4). Given its answers have presented the “Russian dolls” effect, the Chatbot was asked to state IDAPA’s major challenges (section 6), and then the forms to surpass such challenges (section 7). Intercalary sections were used to analyze the Chatbot pieces of writing (e.g. sections 3, 5, and 8). The main conclusion is that, yes, the OpenAI Chatbot does deliver academic writing over regional economic development – as well as it can make a review of scientific literature.

THE INTERSECTION OF MODERNITY AND RESIDENTIAL SPACE
Authors: Chhabra Dr. Pankaj , grover Ar. Silia
Published: May 2024

The social and economic landscape of the globe has changed dramatically and daily life is still evolving quickly. People are in a better place than they have ever been and in the next 25 years the standard of living is predicted to quadruple. Apart from the economic shifts, there have also been a number of social shifts, including the rise in nuclear families, the DINC (double income, no children) phenomenon, and single parent households. A new urban atmosphere has been established by the altered social attitudes and rituals of urban living. Thus, the function of modern residential architecture is undergoing a similar transition, moving from one of only providing shelter to one of creating "Life Style-oriented Environments." Thus, in order to improve liveability and happiness at home the focus is now on "How the space is programmed with features." Changes in Employment trends with innovations in technology and communications have made the central workplace less necessary and a portion of home becoming an extension of the workplace. Also, modifications in the makeup of households, such as married people without children, single parents, and single individuals. Another reason is a shift in values where leisure and cultural pursuits are given greater weight and a willingness to spend more time in the safety and comfort of a well-designed home are prioritized. The way that modern residential architecture is planned, created and sold is being redefined by all of these developments. Therefore, choosing to buy a new house is mostly determined by lifestyle factors with purchasers seeking for specialized items with floor plans that suit and represent their unique lives. With a focus on lifestyle-oriented design, residences are arranged as a collection of component sections, with each component area planned differently for a variety of household types. The goal of this paper is to go into depth of various component areas, their space needs and their interactions with one another for various lifestyle-oriented houses in today's society.
La ruptura metabólica de la cuenca hidrográfica. La construcción conceptual del metabolismo hidro social urbano desde la economía ecológica y la antropología ecológica
Authors: Martínez Romero Griselda , Peniche Camps Salvador
Published: May 2024

In Political Ecology, the Hydrosocial Cycle analyzes the circulation of water focusing onsocial actors in positions of power. However, in Ecological Economy (EE) and Ecological Anthropology (EA) paradigms, this perspective has not been discussed or translated into a biogeochemical-sociocultural isomorphism. Based on a bibliographic review of Social Metabolism, the present work develops a proposal that we refer to as Hydrosocial Metabolism. With the aim of developing a transdisciplinary methodological approach to our paradigm, we illustrate the components of Hydrosocial Metabolism vis-a -vis a territorial analysis of both watershed basins and urbanization processes

Advancing Plastic Surgery through Tissue Engineering
Authors: Tummala Dhruv , Kethar Jothsna , Appavu Rajagopal
Published: May 2024

Tissue engineering (TE), once a concept confined to the realm of imagination, is now rapidly emerging as an independent field in medicine and seamlessly integrating into various other specialties. The flexibility of the discipline allows for tissue engineering to be included in multiple medical fields. The specialty of plastic surgery is heavily affected by tissue engineering because of the many scenarios of use in the field, as well as the advantages of using TE. These reasons have led to tissue engineering gaining a reputation of being considered an ideal solution to many problems. This article gathers and compiles research from previous papers similar to this topic and highlights how TE is a large factor in plastic surgery as well as describes the discipline and procedure of tissue engineering. In order to successfully complete the process, a certain procedure must be completed. This includes harvesting and developing tissue, attaching the new graph, and rehabilitation of the injury. However, like other methods of treatment, there is a probability that complications could occur during the process. For example, the newly created graft could be rejected by the patient. An additional factor that must be addressed is accessibility, which is limited due to the experimental nature as well as the cost of the field. All of these factors show the advantages and disadvantages of the discipline. The significance of this paper is to show how tissue engineering can be performed with the appropriate cells and highlight the capabilities of tissue engineering in plastic surgery.

Authors: Bayani Samir Vinayak , Mohamed Ikram Ahamed , Venkatasubbu Selvakumar
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The practice of financial forecasting is an essential component of contemporary financial management and the process of making decisions on investments. As a result of the complexity and volatility of financial markets, traditional financial forecasting techniques often fail to adequately capture the situation.
Methodology/ Findings: One of the most effective methods for improving the precision and effectiveness of financial forecasting is the use of machine learning techniques. Through an examination of its potential, limitations, and future possibilities. They take linear and nonlinear possibilities into account in their study.  Our focus is on linear methods, namely penalized regressions, and ensemble of models. The study considers a range of nonlinear techniques, including tree-based methods like boosted trees and random forests, and deep and shallow neural networks in both feed-forward and recurrent forms. They also think about ensemble and hybrid models, which combine features from several kinds of alternatives.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy:  A brief overview of the tests used to measure outstanding predictive ability is provided. In the last part of this article, they focus on the possible applications of machine learning in the fields of economics and finance, and we provide an example that makes use of high-frequency financial data (Benti, Chaka, and Semie, 2023).
Optimizing Resource Allocation in Cloud Computing Using Machine Learning
Authors: Jeyaraman Jawaharbabu , Bayani Samir Vinayak , Malaiyappan Jesu Narkarunai Arasu
Published: May 2024

Purpose: A key component of large-scale distributed computing is the allocation of resources, as computer networks cooperate to address complex optimization problems. To get the most out of computers in general, or throughput, is the goal of resource allocation in this case. When it comes to distributed computing, there are two main varieties: grid computing and cloud computing. In grid computing, many geographically dispersed clusters are linked and made available to the general public.
Materials and Methods: We looked at Monte Carlo Tree Search and Long-Short Term Memory and examined how efficient they were. By maintaining consistent traffic patterns, the simulation demonstrated that MCTS performance was improved. However, such a strategy is difficult to implement due to the potential speed with which traffic patterns may alter. A successful service level agreement (SLA) was achieved, and the issue was shown to be fixable using LSTM. We compare the suggested model to different load-balancing algorithms to find the one that best allocates resources.
Findings: The results show that compared to the state-of-the-art models, the suggested model achieves an accuracy rate that is 10-15% higher. The suggested model lowers the error percentage rate of the average request blocking likelihood of traffic load by around 9.5-10.2% when compared to the predictions of existing models. Therefore, the proposed method has the potential to enhance network utilization by reducing the amount of time required by memory and the central processing unit.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy:  One advantage of the new method is a more robust forecasting strategy in comparison to earlier models. Using firefly algorithms, future research will construct a cloud data center that employs a variety of heuristics and machine learning methodologies to load balance the energy cloud (Oshawa et al., 2022).
Relationship between the Type of Retirement Transition and Marital Satisfaction in Kiambu County, Kenya
Authors: Njoroge Sarah Wangare , Keya Amos Alumada , Wambugu Anne G.
Published: May 2024

Retirement experience is unique for each individual and affects family dynamics, including spouses and children. It is critical to consider aspects with negative implications for retirement transition, particularly intimacy and marital conflict resolution. The primary aim of this study was to describe the potential association between different types of retirement transitions and marital satisfaction levels among individuals residing in Kiambu County, Kenya, with a view to provide insights into the impact of retirement on marital relationships within a non-western context. A descriptive-correlational study investigated the relationship between retirement transition types and marital satisfaction among 400 married individuals who had been gainfully employed. Participants were selected using stratified random sampling to ensure gender balance and represent various age groups. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire featuring predetermined questions and Likert scales, assessing retirement transition types and marital satisfaction using the Couple Satisfaction Index (CSI). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS Version 25 to perform cross-tabulation and descriptive statistics. Results showed that gradual transitions, especially full-time employment with a different employer, showed the highest percentage of respondents reporting high marital satisfaction. Conversely, abrupt transitions due to health issues had the lowest proportion of satisfied respondents. However, overall marital satisfaction remained consistently high regardless of post-retirement occupation, with some observable variations, underscoring the diverse pathways through which individuals navigate retirement and its implications for marital relationships. These findings underscore the complexity of retirement transitions and stress the importance of considering individual preferences and circumstances. Policymakers and therapists can utilize this understanding to make informed decisions regarding retirement planning and post-retirement engagements, aiming to enhance marital well-being in later life.Top of Form

Selección y evaluación del paciente candidato a cirugía de la epilepsia
Authors: García María Del Carmen
Published: May 2024

La cirugía de la epilepsia es una opción terapéutica prometedora para los pacientes con epilepsia de difícil control. El principal determinante del éxito de la cirugía es la apropiada selección y evaluación del paciente. Si bien no existe un concepto unificado universalmente de epilepsia refractaria, se la puede definir como ausencia de respuesta ante el tratamiento con al menos dos drogas anticonvulsivantes de primera línea usadas en dosis adecuadas. La evaluación de los pacientes consiste en dos fases; la fase I, incluye videoelectroencefalograma (VEEG) de superficie, neuroimágenes tanto estructurales como funcionales (RMN, RMN funcional, PET, SPECT interictal e ictal, etc.) y evaluación neuropsicológica y psiquiátrica. Posteriormente, el caso del paciente debe ser discutido en un ateneo multidisciplinario en el cual participen neurofisiólogo, neurorradiólogos, neuropsicólogos, neurocirujanos y psiquiatras para determinar si la cirugía es factible y de ser así, qué técnica sería la más adecuada. Debido a que los resultados óptimos de la cirugía dependen de la congruencia entre la semiología, la zona irritativa según el EEG interictal y la zona de inicio ictal, en ocasiones son necesarios de manera adicional estudios invasivos (fase II), tales como video-EEG con electrodos intracraneanos y mapeo funcional de las áreas corticales.
Healthcare Disparities among Socioeconomic Groups
Authors: Sharmake Abdi
Published: May 2024

Purpose: This study sought to explore the socioeconomic factors contributing to disparities in healthcare access and outcomes.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to healthcare disparities among socioeconomic groups. Preliminary empirical review revealed that individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds faced multiple barriers to healthcare access, leading to inequalities in health outcomes. The study highlighted the complex interplay between social factors such as income, education, and wealth, emphasizing the need for comprehensive, multisectoral approaches to address healthcare disparities. Despite progress, gaps in research, policy, and practice remained, underscoring the importance of continued efforts to achieve health equity through collaborative initiatives and evidence-based interventions.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Determinants of Health theory, Health Benefit model and Critical Medical Anthropology theory may be used to anchor future studies on healthcare disparities among socioeconomic groups. The study provided comprehensive recommendations to advance theory, practice, and policy. It contributed to theoretical frameworks by highlighting the complex interplay between socioeconomic factors and healthcare disparities. In practice, it emphasized the importance of patient-centered care and collaborative models to address social determinants of health.

Translational approach to secondary hip fracture prevention in older adults: from basic science to clinical practice
Authors:   , Cedeño Veloz Bernardo Abel
Published: May 2024

This doctoral thesis focuses on the relationship between basic scientific discoveries regarding bone health, the current evidence on its management, and its application in the clinical context to prevent secondary fractures in older adults. The risk of fra ctures in older adults is an emerging public health issue. The prevention of new fractures is of particular concern due to the exponential increase in morbidity and mortality, as well as the associated healthcare costs. Identifying the current issues, unde rstanding specific pathophysiological mechanisms in the older population, and multi factorial interventions when addressing the problem are essential for a novel and effective strategy for preventing new fractures. This doctoral thesis is based on 5 articles that have been published or are pending in international scientific journals. In the first chapter (Chapter 1), our goal is to analyze the current evidence on the efficacy of pharmacological treatment in preventing hip fractures (as well as other events of interest such as other fractures, bone remode l ling markers, side effects, etc.). In the second chapter (Chapter 2), we propose, through an editorial, that the importance of biomarkers in osteoporosis will continue to be fundamental tools for the geriatric medicine of the future by supporting the diagnostic, monitoring, and treatment process. In the third chapter (Chapter 3), we conduct an analysis of biomarkers in patients with and without hip fractures to assess their relationship with fracture risk an d their correlation with it . In the fourth chapter (Chapter 4), we relate these same markers to frailty in older adults with hip fractures and their relationship with adverse events (dependency, mortality, gait alteration, etc.) in a 3 month follow up . In the fifth and final chapter (Chapter 5 ), we propose detailing and validating a pilot multi domain intervention system based on telerehabilitation to improve the functional capacity of older patients after a hip fracture.
Analysis of Hydrodynamic Loads by a Vertical Hollow Cylindrical Structure in A Two-Layer Fluid of Finite Depth
Authors: Tashi Lham , Hassan Mohammad
Published: May 2024

This paper aims to study the effect of surge radiation by a vertically hollow cylinder floating in a two-layer fluid of finite depth. Since most of the important characteristics of the oscillating water column are preserved by the hollow cylindrical structure, so the proposed device can be considered as an oscillating water column (OWC) which is one of the important wave energy device. In this two-layer fluid system, the upper layer is bounded above by a free surface and the lower layer is bounded below by a solid impermeable bottom, and the submerged hollow cylindrical structure allows it to oscillate in a surge mode of motion in the upper layer. On the assumption that wave amplitudes are small in comparison to wavelengths, hence the linear water wave theory is applied to formulate boundary value problems by dividing whole domain into 2 sub-domains. The formulated boundary value problems for surge radiated potentials in each sub-domain; we execute to obtain solutions in each sub-domain by using variable separation and matched eigenfunction expansion methods. With the help of obtained surge radiated potentials, we derive the radiation forces by the device in terms of added mass and damping coefficients. A set of influences of different parameters of the device on the added mass and damping coefficients are demonstrated in both surface and internal wave modes of motion. Hydrodynamic coefficients oscillate highly near a particular frequency, which leads to the resonance phenomena. In addition to that, the 3D plots of the free surface elevation in surface and internal wave modes are presented. A density ratio γ = 0.97 has a higher oscillation than a density ratio γ = 0.93, 0.95.  High oscillations occur around a particular frequency ω = 3.83 due to the resonance phenomenon in which the waves incoming match with the natural motion of the object.

Published: May 2024

México es uno de los Estados adscritos a la Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) y, como tal, está obligado a eliminar todas las formas de discriminación contra las mujeres. A través del análisis de la representación de los estereotipos de género en la publicidad de las instituciones gubernamentales, se puede identificar qué tan arraigadas siguen las creencias sobre las características y roles que deberían desempeñar las mujeres. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo examinar los estereotipos de las mujeres que se representan dentro de la publicidad política de la LXIV Legislatura del Congreso de la Unión. Para ello, se realizó un análisis de contenido cuantitativo con el que se codificaron los treinta y ocho anuncios emitidos por ambas Cámaras. Como resultado, se obtuvo que los principales estereotipos fueron el de mujeres modernas y el de luchadoras o transgresoras; se encontraron correlaciones entre éstos y los temas de educación y economía, empleo y desempleo, respectivamente; se halló que los roles desempeñados fueron los de ejecutivas o profesionistas. Sin embargo, también se observó que la representación de las mujeres fue escasa en los spots y se les dio un rol secundario en la mayoría de los casos.
acción de transparentar en la lucha por la presidencia de México de 2018
Authors: Bazan Cruz Manuel
Published: May 2024

A finales del siglo XX, algunos actores sociales utilizaron la palabra “transparencia” para demandar apertura gubernamental, por lo que, a principios del nuevo milenio, se crearon las primeras leyes de transparencia en México. Si bien el entramado jurídico prevé mecanismos como la publicación de documentos en internet y la atención a solicitudes de información, las acciones tendientes a transparentar el poder van más allá de lo que hace el Estado, puesto que diferentes sujetos emprenden tareas para descubrir sus secretos. Según el discurso institucional, la transparencia provee beneficios a favor de la sociedad; entre ellos, mejorar su calidad de vida. Sin embargo, en este artículo, se da cuenta de su uso político; es decir, de su carácter estratégico en las luchas entre adversarios políticos para ocupar un cargo de elección popular. Con el apoyo de la filosofía de Ludwig Wittgenstein, se describen y analizan los juegos de lenguaje ofensivos y defensivos que articularon los adversarios con la información transparentada en la lucha por la presidencia de México en 2018. Asimismo, se expone cómo esos juegos de lenguaje fueron reproducidos en las opiniones que circularon en los medios y redes de comunicación, propiciando una lucha por la verdad factual.
Aprendizaje en tiempos del fin de un mundo y la apertura de múltiples mundos. Reflexiones desde la educación ambiental
Authors: De Moura Carvalho Isabel Cristina , Arias Ortega Miguel Ángel
Published: May 2024

El texto aborda el análisis de la pandemia global de diciembre de 2021, causada por el virus Sars-Cov 2, que resultó en millones de muertes y transformó la vida social, institucional y familiar. Tras la estabilización del Covid en varias regiones, se destaca la necesidad de reflexionar sobre los dos años de casi total confinamiento, reconociendo que esta crisis es una superposición de crisis en salud, social, política, económica, educativa y ambiental. Se plantea la importancia de examinar las implicaciones para el ámbito pedagógico y la formación profesional en la “nueva normalidad”. Se propone un análisis histórico de la pandemia desde perspectivas psicológicas, sociales, culturales, educativas y ambientales. Se aboga por aprender de la experiencia, revisar las acciones pedagógicas virtuales y construir futuros más prometedores, integrando lo educativo y ambiental. Finalmente, se sugiere utilizar perspectivas analíticas de autores como Isabelle Stengers, Donna Haraway y Ailton Krenak para comprender y abordar los desafíos planteados.
Profesionistas migrantes enredados en la vida transnacional
Authors: Franco García Martha Josefina
Published: May 2024

Este estudio de corte cualitativo tiene como propósito identificar las condiciones en que se configura el dispositivo educación-trabajo en la vida de seis profesionistas migrantes inscritos en redes transnacionales. Tres de ellos llegaron siendo niños a Estados Unidos y allí se escolarizaron y los otros tres estudiaron en México. Entre los hallazgos tenemos que las condiciones socioeconómicas y de migración les restaron oportunidades de formación y laborales, sin embargo, la calidad de los procesos educativos constituyó un referente que les permitió explorar nichos laborales para construir, desde sus circunstancias, proyectos de vida que les posibilitan satisfacciones personales, a pesar de las desigualdades existentes.
