Abstract

What are the impacts of the extent of export on the corporate social responsibility (CSR) report disclosure and assurance of family firms? This research considers the role of Taiwan’s supply chain around the world and compares family-owned and non-family-owned enterprises to determine if there are differences on whether the firm issue CSR report and acquire the third party assurance in accordance with the extent of export. We utilizes companies listed firms from 2008 to 2019 as the sample. The results show that family-owned enterprises are less likely to issue corporate social responsibility reports and acquire the third-party assurance even if they have high export level. The research contributes to prior CSR report disclosure literature by showing evidence on the type of companies or corporate governance mechanisms that could acquire the assurance service of the third party. Moreover, the economy in Taiwan mainly relies on the massive export. The evidence provided by this study should give valuable implications to the academia, practice and government.

Keywords: Family-owned enterprises; corporate social responsibility report; extent of export; third party assurance.
The Application of the Burden of Proof Concept in Indonesia: A Comparative Study
Authors: Abdullah Abdullah , Hatta Muhammad
Published: October 2022

Introduction: One of the reasons for a reverse proof system is the difficulty of proving the offenses committed by certain perpetrators of a criminal offense, such as corruption and money laundering. Thus, the government issues the legal policy to apply a reverse burden of proof to solve this problem.Purposes of the Research: This study aims to analyze the application of the reverse burden of proof in Indonesian and Islamic criminal law.Methods of the Research: This research is legalistic, doctrinal, or normative, using a comparative law approach to compare the application of a reverse burden of proof in Indonesian criminal law and Islamic criminal law.Results of the Research: The application of a reverse burden of proof in Indonesia is limited and balanced (balanced probability of principles) as regulated in Article 37 of Law no. 31 of 2019 in conjuction with Law No. 20 of 2000 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes and Article 35 of Law no. 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of the Crime of Money Laundering. In Islamic criminal law, the application of t a reverse burden of proof has long been carried out, as seen in Surah Al-Nisa verse 135 and the story of Prophet Yusuf's proof of Zulaikha's accusation in Surah Yusuf verses 24-29, and several hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad. These two legal systems are similar in terms of the application of a reverse burden of proof that is only applied to certain cases, such as corruption and money laundering. However, the difference is that the application of a reverse burden of proof in Indonesian criminal law is limited and balanced. In contrast, the principle of a reverse burden of proof against corruption cases in Islamic criminal law is absolute.

Published: October 2022

Introduction: The company often uses the spread of the Covid 19 virus in Indonesia in carrying out the Termination of Employment (PHK). Force Majeure is regulated by Article 164 of Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower but does not regulate epidemics or diseases as force majeure. Hardship itself is not regulated, and this doctrine is not yet known in Indonesia, as evidenced by the lack of contracts implementing the hardship clause.Purposes of the Research: The purpose of this study is to provide legal protection for employees who have experienced termination of employment due to the Covid-19 pandemic based on the principle of hardship.Methods of the Research: The research method used is normative juridical or doctrinal law research. It is research that uses the approach of legislation in the governance and legal values that live in society.Results of the Research: The results of this study include two things, namely the principle of force majeure or hardship in termination of employment, Companies that terminate employment should renegotiate by delaying work or known as the hardship principle. Using the force majeure principle causes workers to be unable to carry out their obligations, namely doing work. Based on the freedom of contract, the hardship principle principle clause can continue to carry out the agreement for workers affected by Covid-19. While the second is the legal consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic on work agreements, basically, in resolving the legal consequences caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, honesty from the parties is needed. This principle is known as good faith. It greatly determines the condition of the Covid-19 pandemic in the termination of employment by the company so that the parties can renegotiate their work agreement.

Published: October 2022

Keragaman agama, budaya, dan etnis adalah wajah kehidupan masyarakat Indonesia. Di balik keragaman tersebut tersimpan potensi positif dan negatif. Potensi positifnya adalah masyarakat dengan latar belakang yang beragam menjadikan Indonesia sebagai bangsa yang majemuk dan dinamis yang terbentuk dengan interaksi sosial masyarakat yang menjunjung tinggi nilai-nilai kegotong-royongan, saling menghormati, serta toleransi. Nilai-nilai inklusifitas ini kemudian dipraktekan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat di segala lapisan termasuk masyarakat kecamatan Taniwel, Kabupaten Seram Bagian Barat, Provinsi Maluku. Sementara itu potensi negatifnya adalah keragaman yang ada juga menyimpan ruang sekat-sekat di dalam masyarakat ketika terprovokasi dengan mudah oleh oknum-oknum yang tidak bertanggung jawab, seperti kejadian konflik kekerasan atas nama agama yang terjadi di beberapa wilayah Indonesia dan juga melanda kecamatan Taniwel. Konflik kemudian mengubah cara pandang masyarakat melihat keragaman di dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Akibatnya kerukunan umat beragama menjadi terancam sehingga terjadi disintegrasi di dalam masyarakat itu sendiri. Oleh sebab itu, kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan mengingat kurangnya pemahaman di kalangan masyarakat tentang pentingnya literasi kebangsaan dan moderadi beragama. Maka sikap moderasi beragama dengan penguatan nilai-nilai inklusifitas perlu dibangun kepada masyarakat sebagai suatu pengakuan atas keberadaan pihak lain dan sebagai sikap menghormati adanya berbagai macam perbedaan. Perbedaan ini yang kemudian menjadi alasan penting untuk tidak saling menyakiti, mencurigai, serta menghakimi antara satu dengan yang lain, sebaliknya justeru saling menguatkan dan mempersatukan.

Concepciones sobre infecciones de transmisión sexual en estudiantes universitarios de pregrado
Authors: Coronado-Peña Jhorman Jesid
Published: October 2022

Introducción: Actualmente se ha incrementado el número de personas que contraen una Infección de Trasmisión Sexual (ITS) por el aumento en el número de parejas sexuales a lo largo de la vida y por la carencia de formación adecuada. Dado que, los principales afectados por las ITS son los jóvenes, el objetivo: de esta investigación consistió en identificar las concepciones sobre ITS en estudiantes universitarios de pregrado. Materiales y métodos: En este estudio cualitativo con enfoque exploratorio descriptivo se empleó una encuesta estructurada y auto-administrada aplicada a 74 estudiantes. Resultados: Mediante estadística descriptiva e inferencial se evidenció que hay confusiones respecto a las vías de contagio, formas de protección, claridad de términos, probabilidad de contraer una infección según el género y desarrollo de las ITS y, básicamente no existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre las concepciones de los estudiantes del primer y último semestre (P>0.05). Se encontró también, que los padres (47%) y profesores (41%) se constituyen como las principales fuentes de información sobre ITS a través de las cuales los estudiantes tienen su primera orientación educativa respecto al tema y, a pesar del paso por la academia, pareciera que esta no transforma en buena medida aquellos conocimientos errados de sexualidad que muchas veces se traen de casa o de la escuela. Conclusión: Se sugieren pautas y estrategias desde la Universidad que permitirán esclarecer y fortalecer las concepciones sobre las ITS en los docentes en formación en particular y, a la población universitaria en general.

Authors: Charles Soniya , Singh Priya , Devi Ashwini , Reddy Amala , Sundaresan Sivapatham
Published: October 2022

Metformin is intended to function as an agonist of SIRT1, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD +)-dependent deacetylase that mediates a number of beneficial metabolic responses. We investigated the effect of metformin in DAHP (GTPCH1 inhibitor) treated EAhy926 endothelial cells on cellular senescence. Cellular senescence was evaluated through senescence associated parameters viz., namely Beta galactosidase assay, p21 and p53 mRNA expression, nicotinamide (NAD+ content), asymmetric dimethylarginine content (ADMA) content, protein arginine methylation (PRMT1) and Sirt 1 protein expression. We also performed an in silico investigation of the possible interactions between metformin and SIRT1 that focuses on molecular docking which revealed that metformin binds with Sirt1 and that the binding affinity of metformin with Sirt1 is prominent through docking score. Oxidative stress (OS) indices such as intracellular biopterin concentrations (tetrahydrobiopterin-BH4 and dihydrobiopterin-BH2) were also determined. Metformin treatment exhibited distinct anti senescence effect in endothelial cells by downregulating the senescence markers such as beta galactosidase activity, p21 and p53 gene expression and PRMT1 protein expression while upregulating NAD+ content and Sirt1 content compared to the respective controls. We postulate that metformin restores early onset of cellular senescence potentially through oxidative stress mediated cellular events in endothelial cells, one of a kind report.

The objective was to develop and validate an easy, economical, fast, reliable, reproducible, precise and accurate reversed-phase highperformance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for the estimation of Nadifloxacin and Mometasone furoate in semisolid dosage form. The chromatographic separation was achieved by using the HPLC system equipped with a C-18(2) column (250 × 4.6 mm, Particle size 5µm) at wavelength 254 nm. The mobile phase consisting of Methanol : Acetonitrile : water (pH-4 adjusted with OPA) in ratio of (55:30:15 v/v) was used in isocratic mode. The flow rate was fixed at 1.0 mL/min with a continuous run up to 10 min, while the retention time was located near about 3.870 and 5.377 min for Nadifloxacin and Mometasone Furoate respectively. The dosage form is cream named as NADIREST-M available in market which has Chlorocresol as preservative. So, to see the interference of Chlorocresol it was also estimated and there was no interference in estimation of both drugs by checking system suitability parameters (Chlorocresol peak has resolution more than 2 from the peak of drug). In the concentration range of 50-130 µgmL-1 and 5-13 µgmL-1 Nadifloxacin and Mometasone Furoate respectively, the detector response was found linear with linear regressed equation Y=15116X-365319 and Y=52717X-184314. In the assay of NADI, 99.12% and MOM 99.77% of the drug was recovered. This method proved a satisfactory validation for all the parameters such as accuracy, linearity, specificity, precision, range, ruggedness, robustness, reproducibility as per ICH guidelines. The results of the study evidenced that it is useful for the routine determination of Nadifloxacin and Mometasone Furoate in Semisolid pharmaceutical dosage forms like a cream.

Projective Capital Asset Pricing Model
Authors: Shabi A.
Published: October 2022

This paper is interested in exploring the capabilities and limitations of investment decision making under uncertainty through the lens of Quantum Probabilities/formalism stand and will be focusing on the Capital Asset Pricing Model as use case. Our main purpose is to examine the historical and structural foundations surrounding decision making paradoxes. To ease the comprehension of the issue to the common reader, we first outline key cornerstones of investment decision making under the two competing conceptual frameworks, expected utility and mean-variance. We review then the axiomatic justifications of the mean-variance and set the comparison with the Expected utility generally. That's when the analogy with quantum probabilities arises. This comes from the fact that decision making process seems to be more likely to be presented in terms of amplitudes. Thus, here the quantum probabilities refer to a calculus of quantum states and not of probabilities. In the final section, we present the capital asset pricing model to understand the appeal of the usage of Mean variance over Expected utility in the financial theory, and how we can remediate to this approach once decisions are depicted in terms of quantum probability amplitudes. Several extensions of the rational decision-making theory using classical probability formulations emerged depending on the actual empirical findings, trying to explain such paradoxes and improve the existing framework decision making theory. These simplifying assumptions were seeking to generate the probabilistic measures assumptions without linearity or to make State-independent probabilistic estimates as well as agents’ possessing firm assumptions in the generalized utility theory loosened. While these trials helped to discuss the pitfalls of the classical probabilities in some decision-making situations, it failed to give a harmonized expected utility theoretical model. An established theory to consider is the prospect theory by Kahneman and Tversky which encompasses the human biases and heuristic. Indeed, its attributes make this theory likely to be extended to a general framework of the decision-making theory by using quantum probabilities as the mathematical scope.

Authors: Dincoglu Ahmet Hulusi , Çalışkan Zühal
Published: October 2022

The present work aimed at investigating the effect of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) essential oil on the microbiological, physicochemical, and sensorial properties of meatballs, and elucidating its antimicrobial effect on the meatballs contaminated with Escherichia coli O157:H7. The essential oil as determined via gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) contained two major components, linalool and linalyl acetate, at 37.023 and 28.651%, respectively. The antioxidant activity test which was performed via 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity test, revealed that the essential oil had moderate capacity. The antibacterial activity of the essential oil was investigated against E. coli O157:H7, and the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) was determined to be 6.4 μL/mL. Six different test groups were formed based on the concentrations of E. coli O157:H7 (0 and 108 CFU/mL) and essential oil (0, 6.4, and 12.8 μL/mL). Although essential oil had inhibitory effect against TAMB, coliforms, yeasts and moulds, Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and especially E. coli O157:H7 in the microbiological analyses, no effect was observed on the physicochemical properties of the meatballs. Approximately, 3 log decrease was observed in the E. coli O157:H7 levels when essential oil was added at a concentration of two-fold MIC value. It was observed that the addition of essential oil to meatballs did not increase the lipid oxidation level as much as the control group. Meatballs that contained essential oil at MIC value achieved the highest general acceptability scores at the end of their storage periods.

Authors: Savcı Ahmet
Published: October 2022

In the present work, foam and water extracts were obtained from Gypsophila root, which forms the foam part of the dessert known as kerebiç. The bioactive compounds of samples were analysed with Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). To determine their antioxidant properties, ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) method, cupric-reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) method, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate (ABTS) method, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method, and total antioxidant activity method were performed. The pUC18 plasmid DNA was used to investigate the effect of the samples on the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). In addition, the inhibitory properties of the samples against key enzymes (acetyl and butyryl-cholinesterases) involved in the pathogenesis of diseases were investigated. Based on the results of FT-IR analysis, terpenes and sugars were detected in the extracts. Based on the HPLC results, glucose, fructose, maleic acid, acetic acid, acetoin, and 2,3 butanediol were detected in the extracts. Antioxidant results showed that extracts had similar and moderate activities as compared to the standard antioxidants. It was observed that the extracts preserved the stable structure of pUC18 plasmid DNA, but could not remove the scavenging effect of peroxide. In addition, it was determined that the extracts showed a stronger inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyryl-cholinesterases (BChE) than galantamine, which was used as the control.

Published: October 2022

Plantain flour is a promising functional ingredient of various domains in the food industry. The present work investigated the functional attributes and proximate composition of flours derived from six plantain cultivars from Benin, and evaluated their nutritional composition. Among the cultivars, proximate composition of the flours varied with moisture, ash, protein, and fibre ranging from 4.59 - 6.85, 2.01 - 2.56, 2.54 - 3.47, and 0.95 - 1.37% (dry basis), respectively. Significantly higher β-carotene contents (± 9 µg) were found in flours from Orishele and Pelipita cultivars, whereas flours from Aloga 2M and Kpahissi cultivars yielded the highest content of vitamin C (9.64 µg). Flour from Kpahissi cultivar exhibited higher water and oil absorption capacity (161.29 and 81.29%, respectively) than the other flours. In addition, higher viscosity, emulsion, and foaming capacities were recorded in flour from Kpahissi cultivar. Flours from different plantain cultivars differed in their physicochemical and functional properties, and could therefore be used in various food domains. In that respect, Kpahissi, Orishele, and Aloga 2M flours could be more suitable in the formulation of particular composite flour for specific uses having the functional parameters such as water and oil absorption, viscosity, emulsion, and foaming capacities.

Published: October 2022

The present work evaluated the antioxidant, physicochemical, and sensory properties of buffalo meat patties incorporated with 2% roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.), wolfberry (Lycium barbarum L.), or beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.), and chill-stored (4°C) for 11 days. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), shrinkage, cooking yield, water holding capacity, pH, colour, textural properties, and sensory evaluation of the patties were examined. Patties incorporated with roselle, wolfberry, and beetroot had increased scavenging activity, thus decreasing oxidative activity in the patties during storage. Cooking yield was improved in all treatments with significant decrease in pH in both cooked and uncooked roselle-incorporated patties. No changes were observed for the texture of all samples, while roselle-incorporated patties maintained the redness after the 11th day of storage. Sensory attributes of the modified patties were acceptable to all panellists. In conclusion, the incorporation of roselle in buffalo meat patties showed more beneficial effects than the other purées tested in improving the quality of the patties while maintaining their sensory properties.

Kelulut honey is favoured for its tremendous nutritional benefits. However, the lack of systematic safety studies leads to it having no quality control or safety guarantee for the consumers. Consequently, the present work was designed to assess the effect of daily kelulut honey consumption. Subacute oral toxicity study was conducted following the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) test guideline 407. Sprague Dawley rats were administered with kelulut honey at the concentrations of 500, 1,000, and 2,000 mg/kg for four weeks, and observed for any changes or toxicity signs following daily consumption. The rats were physically and biochemically analysed, and the serum of highest honey concentration (2,000 mg/kg) consumption underwent metabolite analysis. Histopathology observations on the kidney and liver were also performed. The highest concentration of kelulut honey did not show any mortality or toxicity. Overall, there were no significant differences in all parameters, physically and biochemically, as compared to the control (distilled water), thus indicating the absence of toxicity of kelulut honey daily consumption. It was found that kelulut honey consumption demonstrated generally good health effects, such as in controlling food intake, weight gain, and increasing immune function. The honey’s lethal medium dose surpassed 2,000 mg/kg, thus classified in category 5 according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, which means that it is safe to consume at a high dose.

Published: October 2022

The present work aimed to evaluate the effect of fermentation by Rhizopus oryzae on the proximate composition, anti-nutrient contents, and functional properties of banana peel flour using the solid-state fermentation method in a tray bioreactor at 30°C for 96 h. Throughout fermentation, samples were obtained at different times (0/NF, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h), and analysed using standard procedures to determine the proximate composition, anti-nutrient contents, and functional properties. Based on the results, there were significant differences observed (p < 0.05). Carbohydrate content decreased by 3.35%, while the crude protein, fat, ash, and crude fibre contents increased by 11.12, 2.43, 10.99, and 3.50%, respectively. Hydrogen cyanide, saponin, oxalate, and phytate contents decreased by 42.59, 25, 23.83, and 43.82%, respectively. Water absorption capacity (WAC) and the water solubility index (WSI) increased by 3.94 and 37.14%, respectively, while oil absorption capacity (OAC) decreased by 4.48%. These results showed that the fermentation of banana peel flour by R. oryzae has potential benefits for the food industry due to its effect on chemical composition and functional properties.
Fake Node Attacks on Graph Convolutional Networks
Authors: Wang Xiaoyun , Cheng Minhao , Eaton Joe , Hsieh Cho-Jui , Wu S. Felix
Published: October 2022

In this paper, we study the robustness of graph convolutional networks (GCNs). Previous works have shown that GCNs are vulnerable to adversarial perturbation on adjacency or feature matrices of existing nodes; however, such attacks are usually unrealistic in real applications. For instance, in social network applications, the attacker will need to hack into either the client or server to change existing links or features. In this paper, we propose a new type of “fake node attacks” to attack GCNs by adding malicious fake nodes. This is much more realistic than previous attacks; in social network applications, the attacker only needs to register a set of fake accounts and link to existing ones. To conduct fake node attacks, a greedy algorithm is proposed to generate edges of malicious nodes and their corresponding features aiming to minimize the classification accuracy on the target nodes. In addition, we introduce a discriminator to classify malicious nodes from real nodes and propose a Greedy-generative adversarial network attack to simultaneously update the discriminator and the attacker, to make malicious nodes indistinguishable from the real ones. Our non-targeted attack decreases the accuracy of GCN down to 0.03, and our targeted attack reaches a success rate of 78% on a group of 100 nodes and 90% on average for attacking a single target node.

Effectiveness of the Construction Projects: A Comparison between Users Committees and Contractor Approach
Authors: Mishra A. K. , Koirala Rajesh , Aithal P. S.
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The policymakers are found to be undecided which assures the need for a refined policy on local governance in the formation of a user committee. It is expected to be beneficial for the project management team to point out the factors that directly or indirectly affect project performance. To assess the effectiveness of the construction projects implemented through Users Committees in comparison to the Contract Approach.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The number of Informal Consultations was conducted at each sector of the project location involving UCs and beneficiaries. Furthermore, the key Informant's Interview was taken with the Planning officials, Implementing officials, and elected representatives followed by policy maker and department representative. A comparison is also made with contractor-based work. Using Content Analysis as a data analysis technique, the raw data was presented in the form of explanation, understanding or interpretation.
Findings/Result: Need of empowerment & awareness to the beneficiaries too for their commitment by contributing to the construction projects and also providing orientation training to develop technical and managerial skills to UCs. A mandatory system of feasibility study of the projects for the financing of beneficiaries' contributions is essential. The work schedule or work plan should be attached to the agreement. Proper combination of both approaches would be better to be followed in a single project based on the nature, content, and complexity of rural road construction work.

Published: October 2022

Yapay zeka ve hemşirelik ile ilgili tartışmaların genel olarak robotların gelecekte hemşirelerin yerini alacağı ve bunun sağlık bakımı konusunda oluşturabileceği etik ikilimler ile sınırlı kaldığı görülmektedir. Dönüşen sağlık sisteminde hem hizmet sağlayıcıların hem de hizmet alanların teknolojik temelli bireyselleştirilmiş bakıma yönelik artan beklentileri, hemşirelerin yapay zeka uygulamalarını tanımalarını ve bu sürece dahil olmalarını her geçen gün daha gerekli hale getirmektedir. Dolayısı ile yapay zeka ve hemşirelik bağlamında tartışılan konuların sınırlarını genişletmek ve mevcut ihtiyaca yönelik farklı bir bakış açısı geliştirmek önem taşımaktadır. Bu derlemede hemşirelik eğitimi ve hemşirelik süreci perspektifinden yapay zeka uygulamalarına ilişkin farkındalığı artırmak, hemşirelik süreci ve yapay zeka ilişkisini farklı bir noktadan yakalamak, ve hemşirelerin, eğitim sürecinden itibaren yapay zeka uygulamalarının geliştirilme ve kullanılma sürecine nasıl dahil olabileceklerine ilişkin yaklaşımların sunulması amaçlanmıştır.

Criticisms have been made from both the academic and business environments about the importance and usage of fair value (FV), especially for assets related to agricultural products without an active trading market. For analyzing what is the relevance of the FV method to biological assets for users, an experiment was made with 217 market professionals attending the Executive MBA course and 155 undergraduate students in accounting, from the perspective of the Counterfactual Thinking Theory. The following stimuli were considered if: (i) the result (losses or gains) arising from the evaluation at FV, (ii) the type of biological asset (with or without liquidity), and (iii) the managerial decision (held the asset to the maturity date or make it available for sale) interfere in the judgment of the relevance of FV in biological assets. The findings indicate that the use of FV is relevant for the measurement of biological assets in opposition to the historical cost. Type of asset (eucalyptus as without an active market) and managerial decision (make it available for sale) led to different perceptions for academicians that considered more relevant the use of FV. For market professionals, results also indicate the type of asset (eucalyptus) affected their FV judgment as an appropriate metric for value asset. Our findings also can be concluded that the perception of the relevance of the FV method is greater to evaluate biological assets (bovines and forests) than the reliability in the process and the outcomes.

After the emergence of the Coronavirus disease (Covid19) in December, 2019 the virus was confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be a dangerous virus that spread through airborne and droplets. One of the most effective way of preventing the spread of this virus is the use of facemask in public places such as banks, shopping mall, schools, offices and the likes. For this reasons people are advised to use facemask whenever they go out for their daily activities. However, some people have refused to wear the facemask in public places, thereby increasing the rate at which the virus spreads. Hence, there is a need to design an access control system for use in public places to grant access to people complying with the facemask regulations or deny access to those faulting them. Literature has shown that the use of computer vision and deep learning technology can play important role in the deployment of such access control system for face detection and facemask detection. The computer vision and deep learning techniques used in face recognition and facemask detection are describes in this systematic literature review.

Ante la necesidad de resolver los problemas hídricos, y los grandes retos en términos de la gestión del agua, es necesario implementar una metodología que se desarrolle desde una perspectiva sistémica; en donde la GIRH (Gestión Integrada de los Recursos Hídricos) asume un rol muy importante. El objetivo de este estudio consistió en evaluar los indicadores en el esquema PEIR (Presión, Estado, Impacto, Respuesta) determinantes en el escenario GIRH en la microcuenca “Villa Victoria”, a través delmétodo de análisis estructural, mediante la herramienta MICMAC (Matriz de Impactos Cruzados Matriz Aplicada a una Clasificación. A través de la cual, se pudo estudiar la relación de 20 indicadores, encontrando las variables influyentes y dependientes, que fueron esenciales para entender la estructura y dinámica del sistema, en donde 12 resultaron claves. Los cuales muestran, que la población se ve marcada por desigualdades sociales que reflejan pobreza además un índice de marginación alta que exacerba la desigualdad social en la distribución de servicios como por ejemplo la cobertura de agua potable y drenaje y a su vez el crecimiento poblacional también se constituye como componente fundamental que agrava la insuficiencia en la prestación de servicios.
