The calculation of minimum determinant plays a crucial role in fulfilling the determinant criterion of a certain code design in space time trellis code. In the heuristic optimization of code construction, the minimum determinant is derived via a variant of the branch and bound algorithm. Although the algorithm is relatively efficient, it is not optimized in terms of the pruning strategy. Search space is pruned when the upper bound is exceeded. The upper bound restricts the area of the search space by acting as a minimize agent. No attempt is made on discerning the potential of different structures within the search space. This paper proposes a new pruning approach to improve the computational efficiency of finding the minimum determinant for a particular genera-tor matrix G. It builds upon the idea of minimal complete cycles. They are the smallest paths that begin and ends with zero. By capitalizing on the minimum complete cycle of the search tree, the structure with the highest potential in the search space can be identified. Consequently, it helps the search process to differentiate subtrees in their capacity of yielding a solution. Search can be focused on a certain subtree while others are pruned altogether. This enables approximately 45% reduction of the overall spatial and temporal cost. Despite its potential, the pruning method is inherently probabilistic. There is a 0.0357 risk that it could provide an erroneous minimum determinant.

The Green Campus represents an educational institution that prioritizes environmental sustainability and integrates green practices into its infrastructure, policies, and culture. The Green Campus aims to reduce environmental impact by conserving resources, minimizing waste, promoting renewable energy, and improving air and water quality. However, in the pursuit of Green Campus sustainability, there are still several issues that need attention and immediate action. Therefore, three objectives have been set in this study: to identify the level of awareness and practices of Green Campus among the Polytechnic community, to assess the factors influencing the level of awareness of the Polytechnic community towards Green Campus practices, and to develop a Green Campus action plan as a guideline for Malaysian Polytechnics. This study will use a questionnaire as the research instrument. Seven Polytechnics involved in the 2022 UI Green Metric assessment have been selected as the study sample. The findings show that the level of awareness and practices of Green Campus is still at a moderate level among the Polytechnic community. Meanwhile, 17 factors influencing awareness and practices of Green Campus among the Polytechnic community have been listed. This study has also successfully developed a Green Campus action plan as a guideline for Malaysian Polytechnics in preserving the Green Campus. In conclusion, the results of this study can be used as a reference by Malaysian Polytechnics to improve the implementation of the Green Campus.

Cold-formed steel (CFS) is increasingly being used in modern buildings owing to its lightweight, recyclable nature and material usage efficiency aligning with sustainable practices. Built-up CFS sections have garnered significant attention owing to their increasing application in modern construction. These thin-walled CFS sections are prone to low buckling resistance, limiting their application in tall buildings under extreme loading conditions. This paper review comprehensively the buckling behaviour and structural stability of various CFS built-up configurations of face-to-face, back-to-back non-gapped and back-to-back gapped configurations. The findings show that built-up sections enhance structural performance by reducing local, distortional, and global buckling compared with single sections. Fasteners and stiffeners are crucial for improving the performance by optimising the fastener spacing and the inclusion of stiffeners significantly enhances structural stability. These modifications enhance both the structural axial and flexural performances by improving the buckling resistance under extreme loads. Current design standards often inadequately address buckling complexities and necessitate updates to fully leverage CFS’s structural potential. The back-to-back gapped configuration stands out for its superior constructibility particularly in truss systems, owing to its ease of assembly, adaptability to buckling challenges and improved lateral stability. Innovative design improvements and updated guidelines are required to enhance CFS applications in sustainable and resilient structural systems.

The Klang Valley, encompassing Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, faces recurrent flooding due to rapid urbanisation and inadequate drainage systems, particularly during monsoon seasons. This research aims to develop a comprehensive framework for enhancing regional flood disaster management. Data were collected from 255 civil engineering professionals through an online survey, with descriptive statistics used to analyse the challenges, practical solutions, and stakeholder roles in managing floods. Key findings highlight that rapid urbanisation and insufficient drainage infrastructure significantly contribute to flood vulnerability. Respondents rated floods as one of Malaysia’s most common natural disasters, with a mean score of 3.90, while lack of public awareness on flood preparedness scored lower at 3.77. Comprehensive urban planning was identified as the most effective solution (mean score of 3.88), followed by investing in drainage infrastructure (mean of 3.73). The study underscores the need for centralised coordination among stakeholders, receiving strong support with a mean score of 3.87. The proposed framework integrates three key phases: mitigation, focusing on urban planning and infrastructure improvements; preparedness, which involves enhancing public awareness and emergency response systems; and response/recovery, ensuring effective crisis management and long-term rehabilitation. The framework emphasises collaboration between government agencies, local authorities, and communities to enhance flood resilience. This research provides valuable insights for developing sustainable, long-term strategies for flood disaster management in the Klang Valley, addressing the challenges posed by urbanisation, climate change, and infrastructure limitations.
Homes for Ukraine: Arrival Infrastructures and the UK’s “New Bespokism”
Authors: Zschomler Silke , Berg Mette Louise
Published: November 2024

This article examines arrival infrastructures and arrival brokering practices emerging from the UK government’s response to people fleeing the conflict in Ukraine. We focus on Homes for Ukraine, a private hosting scheme. The scheme is an example of the “new bespokism” that characterises the government’s approach to asylum. It has given rise to new geographies of settlement against a background of a “brutal migration milieu” (Hall, 2017) and provides an interesting entry point to examine arrival infrastructures. Drawing on insights from place-based research on the policies and practices of the hosting scheme, we discuss how it has shaped the landscape of arrival infrastructures for a distinct group of newcomers in a London borough and Oxford/shire. Our research included interviews and multi-modal participatory ethnographic fieldwork with Ukrainians, as well as interviews with hosts, practitioners, and support workers. The article reflects on the role of hosts as “arrival brokers” and how the Homes for Ukraine scheme created a distinct arrival context and infrastructure with significant implications for the ability of Ukrainians to exercise agency in stark contrast to those within the UK asylum system. We reflect on the politics of the Ukraine schemes as a form of arrival infrastructure that facilitates certain forms of mobility while hindering other forms.
Features of Constructive Coping and Personal and Professional Development of Students of Psychological and Pedagogical Classes
Authors: Shchelina S.O.
Published: November 2024

The research is aimed at studying the features of coping behavior strategies and personal and professional development of students of psychological and pedagogical classes. An empirical study was conducted with students of psychological and pedagogical classes (n = 55) of secondary schools in Arzamas. As a result, it was revealed that the main ways of coping with stress of high school students are non-constructive strategies - coping, focused on avoidance (58.18%), distancing (56.36%), escape-avoidance (49.09%), confrontation (40%); also, the majority of students revealed a low level of personal and professional development (60%), which confirms early research on the unavailability and, in some cases, unwillingness of most students to further develop in the teaching profession. The author demonstrates the relationship between integral personal characteristics and coping strategies: the direct relationship of constructive coping strategies with integral characteristics (orientation, competence, flexibility) and self–awareness and the reverse with non-constructive strategies is revealed.

Acute cutaneous methotrexate toxicity and severe pancytopenia following methotrexate prophylactic chemotherapy for the prevention of post molar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia-a case report
Authors: Pineda Gio Paulo C. , Chua Angelica Anne
Published: November 2024

Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia is a type of malignancy that develops from a molar gestation and occurs when trophoblastic activity remains following evacuation. Evacuation of retained products of conception is the cornerstone in the management of molar pregnancies however, a subset of patients is at risk to develop post-molar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Chemoprophylaxis has been controversial and varies across the guidelines set by local societies. In the Philippines, methotrexate chemoprophylaxis is acceptable for patients who are at high risk developing post molar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia and when post-evacuation surveillance is doubtful. We present a 35-year-old gravid patient who was diagnosed with a partial molar pregnancy who underwent methotrexate chemoprophylaxis after suction curettage. The patient was a candidate for chemoprophylaxis since her baseline B-HCG level was elevated to 1,270,300 mIU/ml. 0.8 ml of methotrexate was given intramuscularly on alternating deltoids for 5 doses on 5 consecutive days. The patient was sent home stable with no complaints after her fifth dose however 5 days after her discharge, the patient presented in our emergency room due to pruritic skin lesions. There were multiple, well-defined, irregularly shaped erythematous to violaceous plaques with whitish scales, some with areas of erosions on the forehead, neck, back, inframammary area, abdomen, periumbilical region, bilateral upper arms, buttocks and lower extremities. Blood work up also revealed severe pancytopenia. Aggressive hydration, urine alkalinization, leucovorin rescue therapy, administration of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor, and transfusion of blood products were strategies done for the successful management of the case. Although rare, the development of severe pancytopenia following MTX-administration is linked to a high incidence of morbidity and mortality and must be treated with the highest-level of care. Clearance of methotrexate from the bloodstream, folinic acid therapy, and organ treatment are 3 cornerstones in the management of methotrexate toxicity.

Published: November 2024

The research, guided by an essential question about the optimization of Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) in the face of current challenges in communication and marketing, focused on studying the active role of this strategy in promoting brand value. The main objectives were to analyze the active role of IMC in consumer perception of brand value and to examine its contribution to strengthening brands. To achieve these objectives, we used bibliographical research with a qualitative approach based on a critical analysis of the literature already published in articles, journals, and books. The results of the research showed the crucial importance of coherence and consistency in the brand message as determining factors for the success of CIM. The continuous adaptation of CIM to changing consumer preferences and market dynamics has become a key strategy for companies. CIM has also proven to be a powerful tool for creating authentic narratives and delivering consistent experiences. Finally, the research concluded that the strategic management of CIM, anchored in an in-depth understanding of brand identity, is crucial to establishing lasting emotional connections with consumers, thus boosting brand value.
DESEMPENHO FISIOLÓGICO DE SEMENTES DE MILHO INOCULADAS COM BIOESTIMULANTE A BASE DE Ascophyllum nodosum
Authors: Sousa Artur Nunes de , Gimenes Guilherme Campos , Bernardes Vitoria Gabriela Lemes , Jardini Debora Curado
Published: November 2024

A semeadura do milho dificilmente é realizada em condições edafoclimáticas ideais, o que resulta em problemas na emergência das plantas. Grande é a procura por alternativas que melhorem a germinação e o desenvolvimento inicial, ganhando destaque o uso de bioestimulantes a base de algas marinhas, que podem melhorar a qualidade de sementes uma vez que contêm nutrientes e compostos bioativos, essenciais no processo de germinação e crescimento de plantas. Diante disso, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho fisiológico de sementes de milho inoculadas com bioestimulante a base de Ascophyllum nodosum. O experimento foi conduzido no laboratório de sementes e no campo experimental, do Centro Universitário de Várzea Grande - UNIVAG, no período de outubro a dezembro de 2023. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com cinco tratamento e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram em doses do bioestimulante a base de extrato de Ascophyllum nodosum (produto comercial Stingray®), sendo: 0, 2, 4, 6 e 8 ml kg -¹ de sementes. As avaliações realizadas foram: germinação (%), comprimento de parte aérea e de raiz primária (cm), massa verde e seca de parte aérea e de raízes (g/planta), emergência a campo (%) e índice de velocidade de germinação. Não houve efeito significativo para nenhuma das variáveis avaliadas, sendo assim conclui-se que a aplicação de doses do extrato de alga a base de Ascophyllum nodosum não promoveu incremento no desempenho fisiológico de sementes de milho.

Perceived Mental Health, Cigarettes Per Day and Time to First Cigarette Among Female Sexual Minority Smokers
Authors: Branstetter Steven
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Objective:This study explores how mental health and socio-demographic factors influence smoking behaviors and nicotine dependence among sexual minority females (SMF).
Methods:Data from Wave 5 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study, with 34,309 adults, were analyzed. Participants reported sexual orientation, smoking habits, and perceived mental health. Conditional process analysis assessed how mental health mediates the relationship between sexual minority status and smoking.
Results:SMF had a higher smoking prevalence (28.2%) compared to heterosexual women (24.5%), but smoked fewer cigarettes per day (12.90 vs. 13.67) and had lower nicotine dependence, as indicated by a longer time to first cigarette (139.94 vs. 95.88 minutes). Mental health fully mediated the association between sexual minority status and smoking frequency. Lower income was linked to poorer mental health and higher smoking frequency, but not nicotine dependence.
Conclusions:SMF smoke more frequently but are less nicotine-dependent than heterosexual women. Mental health challenges and socio-economic factors drive smoking behaviors in SMF. Addressing these factors may reduce smoking in this population.

Published: November 2024

El derecho penal distingue entre personas imputables e inimputa­bles. La Convención de 2006 sobre Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad excluye cualquier tipo de discriminación basada en la discapacidad, lo cual conviene a eliminar la figura de los inimputables. Aparentemente esto cambia la estructura del derecho penal e impone hacer profundos cambios legislativos. Aquí se plantea que no es así, que los modelos de responsabilidad penal son compatibles con la Convención y que se requiere de una política judicial y cri­minal orientadora más que cambios legislativos al proceso y al sistema penal.
A clinical perspective towards oropharyngeal dysphagia management in neurological conditions: a brief literature review
Authors: Tosun Samet , Karalı Fenise Selin , Çınar Nilgün
Published: November 2024

Dysphagia is a condition affecting the passage of solid and liquid food into the stomach due to impaired swallowing mechanisms caused by neurological factors like stroke, progressive diseases, and brain injury. Symptoms usually manifest within seconds of swallowing. In this brief review, the clinical perspective towards oropharyngeal dysphagia management from a speech and language therapist’s point of view in neurological conditions will be outlined. This review was carried out by a brief literature screening. This review includes swallowing performance assessment and oropharyngeal dysphagia therapy techniques. Instrumental evaluation techiques were typically used to determine dysphagia presence in the clinical settings. Based on the findings of instrumental evaluation, clinicians must decide the therapy plan. In dysphagia, treatments contain behavioral interventions, central nervous system stimulation, and postural techniques. Behavioral therapy approaches include maneuvers, swallowing exercises, and postural techniques. Electrical stimulation approaches, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), improve the brain's ability to change and adapt, known as neural plasticity. In conlusion, the significance of evidence-based treatment in swallowing therapies is essential to enhance the comprehension of dysphagia therapy efficacy, particularly through randomized controlled trials.

“Metade bebê e metade pessoa!”: a pesquisa antropológica com bebês à luz das categorias corpo e pessoa
Authors: Sousa Emilene Leite de , Müller Fernanda
Published: November 2024

O corpo emerge para o bebê como única forma possível de ser, de experienciar o mundo, condição sine qua non para aprender do mundo e de suas relações. A partir desse argumento, este artigo trata da pesquisa antropológica com bebês a partir de duas reflexões gerais. A primeira é a de que o corpo precisa ser considerado, nas pesquisas antropológicas com bebês, como instrumento maior de experimentação, interação e comunicação desses sujeitos com seus/suas cuidadores/as, os espaços por onde transitam e o/a antropólogo/a. A segunda diz respeito à construção do estatuto de pessoa do bebê em nossa sociedade. À luz dessas duas categorias caras à Antropologia – corpo e pessoa – tratamos das implicações para a prática da pesquisa com bebês em termos teóricos e metodológicos.
A invisibilidade dos bebês como sujeitos de direito na lei e nos programas de combate às uniões prematuras e gravidez precoce em Moçambique
Authors: Pastore Marina Di Napoli , Pires Flávia
Published: November 2024

Esse artigo foi motivado pela participação de uma das pesquisadoras em um projeto de combate a uniões prematuras, na região central de Moçambique, intitulado Capoeira Para um Futuro, como parte do Programa Global pelo Fim do Casamento Infantil (2016). Inteiramente pensado, nesta região, para as meninas (crianças e adolescentes), o projeto não contemplava os frutos dessas uniões, o que culminou para mudanças significativas em sua forma de existir. Metodologicamente, estamos apoiadas na revisão bibliográfica de autoras das áreas de antropologia e educação que tratam da participação social dos bebês, na contextualização da Lei De Prevenção e Combate às Uniões Prematuras de 2019 e no trabalho de campo realizado. A invisibilidade dos bebês no desenho das políticas públicas e na própria academia é a face avessa da sua presença real massiva. Concluímos que uma cidadania realmente democrática e inclusive precisa tratar os bebês como sujeitos de políticas públicas que atendam aos seus próprios interesses e necessidades.
Perfiles en delincuencia juvenil: Factores asociados y contrastantes en los tipos de delitos cometidos por adolescentes en conflicto con la ley
Authors: Benites Guerrero Sebastián Darío , Zorrilla Vargas Nataly Vanessa , Tito Santa Cruz Kerly M.
Published: November 2024

Se ha identificado que los delitos más frecuentes entre los jóvenes de los centros juveniles en el Perú son los siguientes: robo agravado, violencia contra la libertad sexual, tráfico ilícito de drogas, y homicidio. Estos tipos de delito se suelen estudiar desde factores asociados que son similares entre sí, incorporando variables de corte psicológico y sociológico. No obstante, existen matices y contrastes en los perfiles de los jóvenes según el tipo de delito registrado.
Por ello, la presente investigación propone un análisis comparativo de los cuatro tipos de delitos mencionados. El objetivo es evidenciar diferencias entre los perfiles de los jóvenes según sus factores asociados e identificar si alguno de estos adquiere mayor fuerza explicativa para uno u otro delito. Para esto, se concretó la investigación desde una metodología cuantitativa, analizando los datos que proporcionó la Encuesta de Centros Juveniles de Lima Metropolitana en el 2022. Se realizaron análisis de regresión logística multinomial para evidenciar el contraste entre los tipos de delito y los factores asociados.
Los resultados de la investigación arrojan perfiles contrastan-tes según algunos factores claves. Algunos de estos hallazgos son la contrastante asociación de bandas delictivas con el delito de homicidio y sicariato, factores vinculados a la historia biográfica en la etapa de la niñez con el delito de violencia contra la libertad sexual, y la influencia de pares y deserción educativa en el caso de robo agravado. En el caso de los adolescentes que cometieron tráfico ilícito de drogas, se requiere una exploración de otro tipo de factores, los utilizados no generaron un perfil contrastante.
“Copiar y Pegar”: La transferencia de políticas y su influencia en la implementación de políticas de Vigilancia Electrónica para personas privadas de libertad en Perú y Colombia
Authors: Espinoza Prado Gelin Pilar , Gutiérrez Sánchez Nicolás , Mena López Santiago Alonso
Published: November 2024

Este artículo analiza las diferencias en el diseño e implementación de las políticas públicas de Vigilancia Electrónica Personal (VEP) en Perú y Colombia, desde sus primeros ensayos en el 2007 hasta la fecha. Mediante un enfoque de análisis político comparado, se exploran los factores que explican la brecha en los resultados, a pesar de haber adoptado políticas similares. El artículo recoge la teoría de transferencia de políticas públicas como un elemento diferenciador: Colombia implementó su política de manera progresiva, apoyándose en proyectos piloto y realizando ajustes al diseño original de acuerdo con los resultados. Perú, en cambio, al intentar replicar el éxito inicial colombiano, optó por una implementación nacional sin etapas piloto, lo que resultó en un impacto mucho más limitado. Este proceso de diseño por replicación de la legislación colombiana e implementación directa habría dificultado que el Perú afronte futuros obstáculos como la falta de financiamiento, la infraestructura insuficiente y la comunicación de este beneficio penitenciario a actores clave.
A través de la comparación, este trabajo evidencia que el diseño e implementación prospectivos y la falta de adaptación a las realidades nacionales y locales fueron los principales obstáculos para el éxito de la implementación de una política de VEP en el Perú. Por otro lado, una implementación progresiva, flexible y contextualizada, como la del caso colombiano, permite lograr resultados más efectivos en la aplicación de políticas públicas, incluso en contextos de baja capacidad estatal. Finalmente, se señala que los resultados en Colombia no tienen un impacto suficientemente grande frente a su problema público como para ser denominado verdaderamente un “caso de éxito” en un sentido más amplio, pero sí frente a los insignificantes resultados en Perú.

Published: November 2024

İşletmelerin çevresel, sosyal ve yönetişim (ESG) alanlarında göstermiş olduğu performans başta yatırımcılar olmak üzere diğer tüm paydaşları etkilemekte ve bunun sonucu olarak işletmelerin finansal yapıları bu durumdan etkilenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı çevresel, sosyal ve yönetişim performansının sermaye yapısı üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, BRICS-T ülkelerinde (Brezilya, Rusya, Hindistan, Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti, Güney Afrika ve Türkiye) finansal sektör dışında faaliyet gösteren firmaların 2014-2021 yılları arası verileri dikkate alınmış ve toplam 6230 firma-yıl gözlemi üzerinden panel veri analizi yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda çevresel performans skoru, sosyal performans skoru ve ESG skorunun uzun vadeli borç oranını negatif yönde ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ancak, yönetişim performans skorunun uzun vadeli borç oranı üzerindeki etkisi istatistiksel olarak anlamsız bulunmuştur.

Cards Against Backlash: Forwards to a Feminist Future - Strategies for Surviving and Countering Gender Backlash
Authors: Faith Becky , Lewin Tessa , Skinner Chloe , O'Donovan-Iland Ben
Published: November 2024

This toolkit is produced by the Countering Backlash programme. We carry out engaged research, generate new debates, and build capacity across networks and strategic partnerships with women’s, LGBTQ+ and other human rights organisations, activists, academics and policymakers, regionally and globally.

Institutions and activists are constantly trying new and creative ways to counter the backlash. This toolkit draws on real-life tactics from our programme but individuals and organisations have been anonymised to keep them safe. These inspiring strategies are based on our struggles.

We have three categories of strategy: Resisting, Surviving and Creating Feminist Futures.

These cards are not a ‘how to’ guide; they are a provocation. We want you to connect these ideas to your own work, so we have created a blank card for your own strategies and each of the existing cards has a space to add to it.
