Published: November 2024

La investigación en justicia transformativa pretende investigar las estructuras y las condiciones que perpetúan la injusticia, centrándose en modificar las estructuras que mantienen las desigualdades. Aunque la justicia desempeña un papel fundamental en la educación formal, se ha prestado poca atención sistemática al análisis de la percepción que tiene el estudiantado de las instituciones académicas y de las estructuras de poder. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del presente estudio fue construir y validar un instrumento de percepción de justicia transformativa en estudiantes de universidad. Se elaboró un cuestionario de autorreporte (35 ítems iniciales) para evaluar la percepción del estudiantado sobre la justicia institucional basándose en las 4 dimensiones teóricas de la justicia transformativa: responsabilidad, inclusión, capacidad y sostenibilidad. La muestra consistió en 317 estudiantes (73% mujeres, Edad M=22) de diversas universidades del estado de Sonora, México. Un análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) (KMO=.88; esfericidad de Barlett p<0.001) por componentes principales y rotación oblicua (JASP) reveló que el instrumento tenía cargas factoriales aceptables (entre 0.75 y 0.94). Los ítems se agruparon en las 4 dimensiones teóricamente consideradas y mostraron una validez convergente y divergente aceptable (AVE=.70 y SAVE=.83). La escala demostró confiabilidad de consistencia interna aceptable (α total=.70, AIC=.29). La presente investigación aporta pruebas de la validez y confiabilidad de un instrumento de percepción de la justicia transformativa en el sistema educativo.

Design and Kinematic Analysis of a Two-Sided Asymmetric Scotch Yoke Mechanism with Variable Stroke Length
Authors: Thanikasalam Kumaran
Published: November 2024

The Scotch yoke mechanism is a device used to change rotary motion into linear motion, usually with equal strokes on each side. This study introduces a modified Scotch yoke mechanism that produces different stroke lengths on each side, making it useful for applications needing varied displacements. The design and motion analysis were completed using SolidWorks to confirm the performance of this asymmetrical stroke. A kinematic study shows how changes in the rotor and yoke design lead to controlled, distinct stroke lengths. This work demonstrates that the adapted Scotch yoke can expand its use in systems requiring precise motion control with varied linear displacement, adding flexibility to its traditional design.
Human vs. Machine: A Comparative Analysis of Qualitative Coding by Humans and ChatGPT-4
Authors: Lockwood Adam
Published: November 2024

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications are becoming increasingly influential in psychology training, practice, and research. In this study, the procedures (e.g., coding process) and products (e.g., codes; themes; core story) of qualitative content analysis (QCA) conducted by Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT)-4 and novice human researchers were compared, and advantages and disadvantages of each approach were considered. Data included open-ended survey responses from trainers (N = 60) in school psychology programs regarding assessment practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings indicated that ChatGPT-4 could conduct QCA with products that were similar, overall, to human coders, and in significantly less time. However, ChatGPT-4’s process was not transparent, and some codes and themes were unclear. Meanwhile, human coding allowed for the selection and implementation of a purposeful methodological approach, and an auditable and systematic process resulting in a coherent narrative. Considerations for the use of AI in qualitative research are considered and discussed, and future research directions are provided.
Early readers know letter shape without knowing letter names
Authors: Das Jhilik , Nag Sonali , MN Usha , Arun SP
Published: November 2024

Since learning to read involves associating letter shapes with how they sound, it is widely believed that children become familiar with letter shapes when they start learning their sounds or start writing them down. However, since printed letters are often available in the environment, it is possible that children are already familiar with letter shapes. Here, we provide evidence for this intriguing possibility. We tested 300 children at the beginning of formal reading instruction of the Indian language Kannada. Each child performed four tasks: (1) a letter familiarity task in which they saw upright and inverted versions of each letter, and had to identify the more familiar orientation; (2) a letter recognition task where they had to name letters shown sequentially; (3) a visual search task where they had to find an oddball letter among identical other letters, with letters either all upright or inverted; and (4) a rapid automatized naming task where they had to name digits. Our main finding is that, despite showing wide variation in letter naming, children were highly familiar with letter orientation. This effect was present even on letters that children did not recognize at all. This familiarity with letter orientation also gave them a letter processing advantage: children searched faster when letters were upright than when they were inverted. Our findings reveal a far deeper knowledge of print among early readers than previously observed, and provide empirical support for early exposure to print as a strategy to jump-start reading acquisition.

Published: November 2024

A simple, sensitive, rapid and economical spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amount of nitrite present in the water and soil samples is investigated. This method is based on the diazo-coupling reaction where nitrite reacts with p-nitroaniline in presence of hydrochloric acid to form diazonium cation which is subsequently coupled with 1-naphthol in presence of sodium hydroxide to form a stable azo-dye. The absorption maximum (λmax) for azo-dye is found to be 610 nm and the method obeys Beer-Lambert’s law at this analytical wavelength over the concentration range 0.02-0.12 μg/mL of nitrite. The molar absorptivity is found to be 3.29 x 104 liter.mol-1cm-1.

The rice process produces a large amount of rice husk which is most economically important a natural source of silica. In this work, the nano silica was synthesized from dried and cleaned rice husk by treating with hydrochloric acid followed by incineration at 700 ℃ in muffle furnace. Thus, formed silica nanoparticles were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The FTIR results showed different peaks at 800 cm-1, 1078 cm-1 and 455 cm-1 resembling the peaks of Si-O symmetric stretching frequency, Si-O asymmetric stretching frequency and Si-O-Si bending frequency respectively. The average crystallite size was found 39.49 nm from XRD results. Whereas, EDX results showed silica elements with 58.20% composition along with Fe and Cr as major impurities. Thus, agricultural waste i.e. rice husk was found to be a major source of silica.

Introduction:Malignant thyroid tumor is considered a cancer in the parenquima cell of the gland. There are two major types of cells consisted in follicular cells (that represents 90-95% of all thyroid malignancies) and perifollicular cells. Purpose:the purpose of this study is to show that it is possible to treat malignant thyroid tumor without using surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy only rebalancing the internal energy of Yin, Yang, Qi, Blood and taking out Heat retention through Chinese medicine’s tools (Chinese dietary counseling, auricular acupuncture with apex ear bloodletting and systemic acupuncture, and replenishment of internal massive organs using homeopathy medications according to the theory Constitutional Homeopathy of the Five Elements Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and crystal-based medications. Methods:Through one case report of 70-year-old female patient with malignant thyroid tumor diagnosed in the gynecology routine exam (2018), and she was referred to head and each surgeon. He marked to do the surgery two months after the diagnosis. During the interval between the diagnosis and the surgery (two months), she went to do some acupuncture sessions associating with Chinese dietary counseling and radiesthesia procedure, that showed that all her internal massive organs were in the lowest level of energy, rated one out eight, with exception of the seventh chakra, that was normal, rated in eight. Results: The results of the treatment were that after two months of treatment, she was submitted to the surgery that revealed that the malignant tumor become begin and she did not need to take out the thyroid any more. Conclusion:the conclusion of the study was that malignant thyroid tumor could be treated without using surgery or chemotherapy or radiotherapy only using Chinese tools to rebalance of energy of Yin, Yang, Qi and Blood and take out the internal Heat using apex ear bloodletting. The replenishment of the internal massive organs’ energy using homeopathy medications also are very important tools used by these patients because they can increase the vital energy, contrary when you use highly concentrated medications, that can induce the reduction in this energy worsening in this case the energy deficient state, predisposing the patient to have metastasis or other complications due to this reduction in the energy.

Relevance. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world. In the Russian Federation, high rates of neglect in late diagnosis of colon cancer have been established. The study of the complex influence of social, clinical, anamnestic and dietary risk factors in the development of colorectal cancer is valuable in identifying risk groups for effective secondary prevention. Aims. Assessment of the importance of medical and social, clinical and anamnestic, alimentary-dependent factors as risk factors for colon cancer. Materials & Methods. To analyse the regional characteristics of CRC incidence, the database "Cancer diseases in the Northwestern Federal District" for 2010-2023 was used. To investigate the risk factors for CRC, a case- control study was organised in which patients over 18 years of age with or without diagnosed intestinal pathology (colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease) were included. Results and discussion. Among patients with CRC, patients with advanced forms of the disease predominated: the proportion of CRC diagnosed at stage III and IV was 54% and 17% of newly diagnosed cases, respectively. When analyzing the data, no association was found between the risk of developing CRC and the presence of chronic diseases, oncological pathology, including CRC in relatives of the 1st and 2nd degree of kinship, alcohol abuse and smoking, as well as with most alimentary-dependent factors, with the exception of fried and smoked fish. Conclusions. Colon neoplasms are detected in the population of the Northwestern Federal District at late stages and when patients seek medical care independently. Significant attention in epidemiological studies should be paid to such a factor as eating fish after certain types of heat treatment (fried and smoked). prospects for further research, in our opinion, are related to the search for informative markers to identify risk groups, in particular factors associated with altered intestinal microbiota and colonisation of the intestine with potentially oncogenic microorganisms.

The paper presents the study results of the thermal behavior of synthetic copper telluride in an inert atmosphere at pressures of 92 and 0.07 kPa under isothermal and non-isothermal vacuum-thermal conditions. The thermal analysis results showed that the synthesized copper telluride undergoes polymorphic transformations at 185.7, 259, 318, 350, 470, and 834.5 °C. These transformations were established by early studies and are characteristic of copper tellurides of stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric compositions. It was found that the reduction of the pressure in the system slightly increases the final value of mass loss of the synthetic sample. The X-ray phase analysis results of the residues obtained at constant and increasing temperatures at a pressure of 0.07 kPa showed the absence of the formation of new phases relative to the initial composition. A change in the quantitative ratio of the available phases was found in the direction of an increase in the amount of Cu0.656Te0.344 relative to the initial composition with an increase in the process temperature.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by elevated blood glucose levels resulting from abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Patients with Type 2 DM are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, often indicated by dyslipidemia, which is characterized by elevated triglyceride levels, increased Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) levels, and decreased High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) levels. This study employs an analytical observational design. The data obtained shows that controlled and uncontrolled HbA1c levels with normal triglyceride levels were found in 24.7% of the patients, while 75.3% had high triglyceride levels. The data were further analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 25 (SPSS 25) with a non-parametric test, specifically the Chi-Square continuity correction test, with a significance level of p 0.05. The Chi-Square test results indicated that H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted, with a p-value of 0.036 for the relationship between HbA1c and triglycerides. These results suggest a correlation between HbA1c levels and triglyceride levels in Prolanis Type 2 DM patients at Kimia Farma Clinical Laboratory in Depok. These findings can serve as an evaluation material for Prolanis DM Type 2 patients to control their glycemic levels by routinely monitoring their HbA1c and triglyceride levels.
University Technological Entrepreneurship Projects: Factors of Success

Published: November 2024

The paper presents the results of an empirical analysis of the success factors in university technological entrepreneurial projects, based on a unique empirical dataset created with the support of the project office and the office for promoting the federal project «University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform». The dataset includes a ranking of over 1,000 university projects from 2023, each of which contains information on approximately 35 characteristics, both financial and non-financial. The success indicators selected for analysis are the «final ranking position» and «investment attractiveness of the project». Statistical methods, implemented through Python libraries, were used to examine the relationships between different forms of project support and the aforementioned characteristics. The results highlight the critical role of the university environment in supporting entrepreneurial projects, while also revealing that specific support measures can exhibit varying degrees of association with project success. Two key findings are noteworthy. First, there is no positive correlation between the project’s strong embeddedness in the university environment (e.g., a team assembled within the university or a project initially started as an academic exercise) and the project’s success. Second, among the support measures implemented within the current federal project «University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform», the strongest association with the success of entrepreneurial initiatives is found in participation in startup studios. Considering contemporary discussions on the need to seek new solutions to enhance the educational and life experiences of modern students, bringing them closer to the realities of a dynamically changing labor market, the university startup studio model may serve as a source for developing new models of university organization.
Dynamic security in cloud computing based on fuzzy cognitive maps
Authors: Asma Maziz
Published: November 2024

Cloud Computing is a new paradigm that provides software and hardware resources based on customers’ needs. However, data security remains a significant concern, acting as a major barrier to its widespread adoption. The objective of this work is to propose a process for assessing data risks in Cloud Computing. The process is based on fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) for qualitative reasoning. Risk assessment is a crucial aspect of Cloud Computing. Our proposed system involves three main steps based on expert knowledge. In the first step, a global FCM was built and validated to identify threats at the Cloud Computing level. Then the second step was devoted to calculate the consequences by inference using FCM Expert. The obtained results show that the FCM has a remarkable capacity to deal with the uncertainty of the data; by doing so, it becomes possible to model the real system more accurately. The last step is to simulate, analyze the results of the second step in Matlab Simulink and also develop recommendations to reduce the risks in order to improve and increase the security of Cloud data.
Dynamic graph spatial-temporal dependence information extraction for remaining useful life prediction of rolling bearings
Authors: Sun Sichao , Xia Xinyu , Yang Jiale , Zhou Hua
Published: November 2024

As a powerful tool for learning high-dimensional data representation, graph neural networks (GNN) have been applied to predict the remaining useful life (RUL) of rolling bearings. Existing GNN-based RUL prediction methods predominantly rely on constant pre-constructed graphs. However, the degradation of bearings is a dynamic process, and the dependence information between features may change at different moments of degradation. This article introduces a method for RUL prediction based on dynamic graph spatial-temporal dependence information extraction. The raw signal is segmented into multiple periods, and multiple features of each period data are extracted. Then, the correlation coefficient analysis is conducted, and the feature connection graph of each period is constructed based on different analytical results, thereby dynamically mapping the degradation process. The graph data is fed into graph convolutional networks (GCN) to extract spatial dependence between the graph node features in different periods. To make up for the shortcomings of GCN in temporal dependence extraction, the TimesNet module is introduced. TimesNet considers the two-dimensional changes of time series data and can extract the temporal dependence of graph data within and between different time cycles. Experimental results based on the PHM2012 dataset show that the average RUL prediction error of the proposed method is 17.4%, outperforming other comparative methods.
Introduction to junior schoolchildren with game strategies at informatics lessons in primary school
Authors: Tikhonova N. B. , Mironova A. A.
Published: November 2024

The article discusses a game approach to teaching primary schoolchildren to solve non-standard strategic problems using computer interactive models of such problems. Various forms of description of winning strategies are offered: tables, chains, graphs and flowcharts. The basic concepts of game theory necessary for teaching primary schoolchildren to solve non-standard strategic problems are considered. Using the example of four non-standard problems, various approaches to organizing the activities of primary schoolchildren to develop winning strategies are described, based on an analysis of the problem from the end and using the example of a strategy of addition to a fixed number. The authors assign a special role in organizing such activities in primary school to the use of computer models of strategic problems for inclusion in a game situation and for providing children with the opportunity to analyze the opponent's winning strategy embedded in the computer program.
Learning programming from the perspective of cognitive load theory
Authors: Butarev K. V.
Published: November 2024

The article discusses the applications of Cognitive Load Theory in the design of tasks and educational materials for programming. It describes Cognitive Load Theory as a theory of instructional design, grounded in cognitive psychology, specifically the Atkinson—Shiffrin three-component model and Baddeley's working memory model. The article also defines cognitive load and its categories, as well as other important concepts. Key cognitive effects described by Cognitive Load Theory, such as the split-attention effect, modality effect, collective working memory effect, and worked-example effect, are examined. Practical examples of their application in the design of educational materials for programming are provided, demonstrating how they help reduce cognitive load through the use of visualization, commenting, and pair programming. Special attention is given to Parson's problems, which help reduce extraneous cognitive load and focus the student's attention on the key instructional aspects of the task.
