Published: April 2024

Websites have become a means of getting information, promotion, sales that are widely used by Indonesians. Tart Tuns has difficulties in managing orders and products because currently sales in this shop are only through Instagram, in making transactions with buyers the admin communicates via Instagram direct messages and via WhatsApp messenger. This transaction process is less efficient because the Tart Tuns cake shop must always update information about product availability on insta story. This research aims to address the existing needs of the store in the form of a website that can be used as a sales medium to be more structured and expand product offerings not limited to the store's Instagram account by utilizing the MVC architecture of the Laravel Framework and collaborative filtering algorithms. System modeling uses UML (Unified Modeling Languange) and the research method used is Design Science Research (DSR). The results of this study are to produce a sales website software at Tart Tuns using the Laravel framework which functions to help shop owners in making it easier to manage orders, products, transactions, and product categories. Suggestions from this research are that other developers can add / develop features such as product reviews, chat on the website, and product liking features.
Entre mutualisme et marché. Le développement du système suisse d’assurance-maladie (XIXe-XXe siècles)
Authors: Legentilhomme Geoffroy
Published: April 2024

Depuis l’introduction de l’assurance obligatoire des soins en 1996, les controverses sur l’organisation et le financement de l’assurance-maladie, les coûts croissants du système de santé ou encore les relations tendues entre assureurs et professions médicales, constituent autant de points d’achoppement majeurs de la politique suisse. Malgré cette actualité brûlante, l’histoire du système de santé demeure largement méconnue. En s’appuyant sur des archives jusqu’alors inexploitées, ce livre éclaire pour la première fois l’histoire de longue durée des caisses-maladie, qui forment le socle institutionnel du système de financement des soins. Il révèle la façon dont les myriades de sociétés de secours mutuels du XIXe siècle, à fort ancrage local et s’adressant en premier lieu aux hommes de la classe ouvrière, se sont transformées au cours du XXe siècle en caisses-maladie opérant sur l’ensemble du territoire national. La diffusion de l’assurance-maladie auprès de couches toujours plus larges de la population a modifié la gouvernance et le fonctionnement des sociétés mutuelles, qui ont progressivement adopté les technologies commerciales issues du monde de l’assurance-vie. Cet effacement des anciens idéaux mutualistes et leur remplacement par des mécanismes de marché se sont accompagné d’une concentration sectorielle croissante et ont conduit à l’émergence, après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, de l’assurance-maladie en tant que produit de consommation de masse. La thèse de doctorat dont ce livre est issu a reçu le Prix Pierre du Bois 2021, récompensant annuellement la meilleure thèse en histoire défendue à l’Institut des hautes études internationales et du développement de Genève.

Authors: Faisal Hasan Shoman Hasanain , Muneer Isma'eel Mustafa
Published: April 2024

This research aims to hedge the efficient portfolio of the investor against the expected inflation risk and to evaluate the extent of improvement in the quality of its performance. It has applied to an intentional sample of companies whose shares traded on the Iraq Stock Exchange, consisting of (37) companies, with (120) monthly observations for each company from 2012 to 2021. The simple ranking model of Elton et al. (1978) has been used to build the nominally efficient portfolio and the inflation-adjusted model of Chen and Moore (1985) to hedge a portfolio against expected inflation risk. The Sharpe, Treynor, Jensen, and M2 models have been used to evaluate the performance of portfolios. The research has reached several results. The most important of which is the presence of a big difference in the components of the efficient hedged portfolio compared to the nominal unhedged portfolio, in addition to the presence of a big difference in the amounts of investment weights between the two portfolios. The results of the analysis have also shown a significant improvement in the quality of the performance of the efficient portfolio that has hedged against the expected inflation risk compared to the unhedged nominal portfolio. The originality of the research and its scientific value lie in the fact that it is the first to adopt the inflation-adjusted model in hedging the efficient portfolios of investors against the inflation risk. In addition, it is the first knowledge contribution with empirical evidence about the efficient portfolio's hedging against that risk on the Iraq Stock Exchange.

The External Financial Crises and Their Role in The Economic Growth Fluctuations in Iraq During the Period (2004-2021)
Authors: Razaq Mohammad Ayoop , Shaker Moslem Hamdya
Published: April 2024

Financial crises are a concerning and essential phenomenon due to their severe and dangerous negative impact on global stability. These crises have also spread to developing and advanced countries due to their financial and economic openness. The adverse effects of financial crises have had repercussions on global oil prices, which in turn affected economic growth in Iraq, given its dependence on the oil sector. The main objective of the research was to examine the impact of the global financial crisis on economic growth in Iraq. The research utilized deductive methodology and descriptive analysis as the appropriate approach to achieve the research goal and understand the effect of global financial crises on economic growth. The research begins with the hypothesis that the economic growth in Iraq is affected by global financial crises through oil prices in international markets. The researcher utilizes specific indicators of the Iraqi economy, including oil prices, public revenues, public expenditures, and public debt, to demonstrate the impact of global financial crises on these indicators and how this impact reflects on economic growth in Iraq, represented by the gross domestic product (GDP). The research findings highlight several impacts on the Iraqi economy due to various financial crises. These include the 2009 mortgage crisis, which decreased crude oil prices in the global market due to the global economic recession.
Additionally, the financial crisis since the second half of 2014 was caused by a decline in crude oil prices due to sluggish global economic growth. Furthermore, the COVID-19 crisis at the end of 2019 had significant financial consequences, accompanied by decreased oil prices. It is evident that the Iraqi economy is directly and unexpectedly affected by financial crises through the oil markets, as the country heavily relies on oil revenues, which constitute a large proportion of the GDP.

A migráció szerepe a demográfiai kihívások kezelésében
Authors: Erdélyi Tea , Molnár Attila , Pirisi Károly
Published: April 2024

A demográfiai becslések az Európai Unióban 2030 utánra fogyó népességet prognosztizálnak. Ez a tendencia egyes országokban, így hazánkban is, már most kimutatható. A fogyó népesség, a várható élettartam növekedésével együtt az aktív korúak számának csökkenéséhez, a társadalom elöregedéséhez vezet. Ez jelentős terheket ró az egészségügyi és szociális rendszerekre, veszélyezteti a nyugdíjrendszerek fenntarthatóságát. A világban jelenlévő tendencia ugyanakkor a vándorlás lassú de egyenletes növekedése. A vándorlás részben klíma, részben geopolitikai hátterű mind a régiók között, mind a régiókon belül. Jelentős részben a kevésbé fejlett területek felől a fejlettebb területek felé irányul. A migrációval foglalkozó kutatások általános tapasztalata, hogy a bevándorlók társadalmi beilleszkedésének egyik alapja a gyors munkaerőpiaci integráció. Valószínű, hogy a migráció a fejlett országokban nem csak a probléma, hanem a megoldás is a jelenlévő, vagy kialakulóban lévő demográfiai jelenségekre.
Felvetődhet, hogy – a bevándorlás mértékének növekedésével párhuzamosan – a fejlett országokban az érkező bevándorlók nemzetiségi megoszlása egyre sokszínűbbé válik, ami elvileg elősegítheti a társadalmi-gazdasági integrációt. Ezért a tanulmány, az európai migráció legfontosabb tendenciának felvázolása után az ENSZ migrációs adatbázisának másodelemzésén alapuló hipotézisvizsgálatra támaszkodva próbál átfogó képet nyújtani a migrációs tendenciákról.

Authors: Arteaga B. Beatriz Elizabeth , Oquendo C. Sofía Verónica
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this work is to extract anthocyanins from cabbage and purple onions, and use them as a substitute for synthetic indicators are costly, toxic to health and pollute the environment. Anthocyanins will be used to qualitatively identify the acidic, neutral and basic character of different substances and as indicators in acid-base titrations. Currently, the indicators used in the laboratory come from a synthetic origin, as is the case of phenolphthalein where the European regulations consider it as a potentially toxic product and recommend the replacement by less dangerous products. The methodology used to extract the anthocyanins was an aqueous extraction, using water as a solvent and heating for approximately 10 minutes, subsequently the indicator was stored in an amber bottle to prevent the degradation of anthocyanins and followed by this the pH was determined of substances such as: bicarbonate, lemon juice, milk, chlorine, egg white and water was determined of substances such as: bicarbonate, lemon juice, milk, chlorine, egg white and wáter. The pH results of these substances were compared with that reported in the literature, in the case of bicarbonate there was a deviation of 20%, while in the other substances it was less than 14%. In conclusion, anthocyanins from purple cabbage function as a natural indicator of pH, studies in conservation methods is a promising system for use in laboratory pedagogical applications.
Design and development of a bioinspired subjection system to increase the contact area of a robotics manipulator
Authors: Cruz G. W. , Cháves G.C. , Bulla C. B. , Yepes R. C.
Published: April 2024

This article exposes the design and construction of a bio-inspired fastening system to increase the contact area between the end effector and the manipulated element, with the aim of decreasing the applied pressure per air unit. The design was carried out analyzing and parametrizing the functional elements that constitute the adaptive theory ´Fin Ray´; which describes the behavior of fins of fish, concentrating especially on the pectoral fin. This theory was the basis to elaborate the mathematical model that characterizes the forced condition and the natural behavior of the system to then find the values of the vectors that describe the behavior of the fin layers, known as lightning, and that allowed to calculate the links of the clamp. Assigning values between 0 and 0.01 to the dependent variable it was possible to determine that the ray undergoes a deformation directly proportional to the assigned value, which simulates muscle activation by checking the effects on the system of the increase of the values of the main parameters of the beam and the charges applied to the system. It was determined that an increase in the cutting modulus of the internal material results in the concentration of stress produced by a large change in a small area near the base that in real conditions can cause material failure. Thanks to the adaptive capacity of the constructed prototype, the contact area between the fingers and the held object is increased, which decreases the pressure exerted per unit area, also the energy consumption is lower due to the mechanism of the arithmetic spiral, since the system is activated only when holding or releasing the object.

Authors: Olarte L. N. , Orrego M. C. , Serna G. S. , Villabón P. X.
Published: April 2024

This document evidences the research proposal, focused on the electronic design for the acquisition and conditioning of the electromyographic signal, from non-invasive methods for subsequent analysis in amplitude and time, variables that will allow evaluating the electrical activity of nerves and muscles. Nowadays in the area of biomedicine, the obtaining and conditioning of electrophysiological data of individuals is of great importance. Firstly, the adequate processing and visualization of the expected signal pattern can provide the specialist with optimal reading of data by providing correct diagnoses, and second, the favorable incidence over time through optimal medical treatment to the patient that improves their conditions of life. On the other hand, due to the post-conflict in our country, there are individuals who have marks caused by violence that involve physical treatments, some of them, rehabilitations that compromise the evaluation over time of the muscular response of some parts of the body. This is the social justification of the investigation, whose initial phase includes the conditioning under electronic components of the electromyographic signal for its subsequent analysis over time. In order to comply with the proposed phase, a sequential methodology has been carried out which includes the review of the state of the art related to the design, implementation and analysis of circuits, to condition the basic pattern electromyographic signal by means of non-invasive methods, followed by the simulation and visualization of the signal in free software, then the identification of changes in the amplitude and frequency and disturbances in the signal, which can be mitigated by the design of filters. The initial results indicate that the type of sensor, the contact with the skin and the movement of the patient cause the disturbance of the result of the signal conditioned by electronic methods. Likewise, the correct digital reading of the signal pattern in the appropriate format would provide, in later phases, the storage and remote access of different muscle responses of patients over time to consult the specialist remotely, decreasing patient transfer costs when performing followups On-line.

Aspects that condition physical modeling in predicting the behavior of structures real geotechnics
Authors: Fino C. Lozano y D. , Ruge J.
Published: April 2024

The use of scaled-down models to reproduce the behavior of geotechnical structures is the most widely accepted technique today to properly model a geotechnical problem. The most complete methodology to adequately model this type of scenario is the geotechnical centrifuge, which allows assembling models reduced to the necessary scale and induces in the model a gravity field proportional to the selected scale. According to the established scaling laws, different quantities can be extrapolated from the reduced model to a full-scale structure. However, several aspects that must be considered in detail affect the results, so that they must be thoroughly analyzed so that the dispersion of results between the measurements and the expected is as small as possible, or, otherwise, it can be identify with reliability which was the aspect that most influenced the high dispersion of the results. This research describes these effects exactly, so that they are taken into account when this type of prediction analysis is carried out on geotechnical structures.
Logit and Probit estimation of the impact on the relative size of the agricultural sector in the face of variations in per capita income and index of economic freedom.
Authors: Carvajal Alexander , Cabrales Villalba Lina María
Published: April 2024

In this work, it was proposed to answer the question: What is the relative size of the agricultural sector in a country in the face of improvements in economic freedom and the growth of the per-capita income of its inhabitants? Therefore, it was sought to estimate, probabilistically, the impact on the percentage of composition of agriculture in GDP (PAGP) in the face of marginal increases in the Index of Economic Freedom (IEF) and the Gross Domestic Product Per Capita (GDPbp); the methodology used was the estimation of econometric models for a limited dependent variable of the dichotomous form, specifically, Logit and Probit Models. For this estimation, PAGP was defined as a dependent variable, taking the value of one (1) countries with economies with PAGP greater than or equal to the median PAGP of all countries and zero (0) otherwise, IEF and GDPbp; were specified as independent variables. All data used are cross-sectional and correspond to the year 2018. The results obtained indicate that the unit variations of IEF and GDPbp generate a high probability that a country's PAGP is below the median PAGP of all countries, that is, as economic freedom and average income in a country increases, its agricultural sector has a high probability of losing relative weight in the economic composition of the country.

The exercise of power from the educational actors and their influence on socializing spheres
Authors: Rodríguez Angarita Álvaro Gustavo
Published: April 2024

Currently all the efforts done to improve the quality of education processes, and that therefore influence the quality of human development that society has set have a common factor: the influence that pedagogy may have —if recognized as education science— in satisfying these expectations, regarding its main object of study: directing the development of the student’s personality, which implies using it from the complex and dynamic real world perspective and therefore interpreting it from a multidisciplinary point of view from various education phenomena and with the possibility of conceiving school models that may be cultural and historic references for the student who is in constant development, in an everyday changing world (Valera, 1998). The analysis of the different problems in the relationship with the questions of the quality of the education process on the formal school, has determined the upcoming of multiple proposals of solution with the purpose of achieving the successful completion of the goals and objectives for education and also for human developments this the different societies have settled. On this sense, all the efforts that are done have a common factor: the influence that the pedagogy can have —if its recognized like an education science—, on currently satisfying these expectations, on its main aim of study: the direction of the personality shaping of the student, which implies to make use of it from the complex view of the real world, dynamic and for this reason, interpreted from a multidisciplinary vision from the education phenomena and with the possibility of conceiving school models that work as a cultural and historic reference for the student who is on permanent enrichment on a world that is changing everyday. But contrary to the idea mentioned before, it can be said that while the different adult social actors do not show among themselves the values of a rationaly coherent model of excellence, while exercising their power in their relationships among them and with the boys, girls and young ones in different social spheres, the right construction of discipline and personality of these will never be obtained as a basic condition for the development of their talents and hence the construction of a project for life, that together represent the collective project of a social nation that is wished and required.

The effectiveness of organic fertilizers bokashi, compost in mottled bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) was evaluated and compared to 18-18-18 (Fercon®) inorganic fertilizer. Trial were done at Uniagraria location, in Bogota D.C. city. A complete random design, with four treatments and three repetitions each, was conducted in which the variable of interest was the height of the plant. The data was evaluated using Tukey’s test for comparison of means and regression analysis. The results showed that there were not any statistical differences between treatments. This suggests that plants grew at similar rates during the time of the experiments, without any influence of the fertilizers, a result that replicates previous findings in researched literature. Because organic fertilizers release nutrients slowly, it is necessary to increase the time of evaluation and the variables of interest in future experiments to obtain more conclusive results.

The consumption of dietary antioxidants counteract chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress; within these are polyphenols, molecules that reduce the concentration of radical free, it decrease thrombosis, activate macrophages, inhibit the tendency to peroxidation, improve vision, prevent diabetes and induce apoptosis. In consequence, this article identifies changes that suffer the polyphenolic compounds in a mixture of blackberry (Rubus glaucus, Benth), spearmint (Mentha piperita, L.), chamomile (Matricaria chamomila, L.) and aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis, Miller) to be subjected to heat treatment to obtain squash, fruit nectar, stewed blackberry, jelly and jam; products that were developed with reference to 11488-1984, 15789-1984 y 7992-1991 resolutions of Ministry of Social Protection and Codex Stan 1-1985, 247-2005 y 296-2009. This study evaluated index of total polyphenols (IPT), total polyphenols by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent (PPT) and anthocyanins (At), using a design fully randomized with two replications; found that the concentration of these phytonutrients is greater in the products obtained through evaporation (jelly. Stewed blackberry and jam) that in preparations with only pasteurization (squash and fruit néctar).
