Comparative Analysis of American and Russian Types of Soft Power in the Arab Region On the Example of the Kingdom of Morocco
Authors: Ismailov Samir
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the study of American and Russian types of soft power in the Arab world using the example of the Kingdom of Morocco. Introducing the concept of "soft power" in political science, American political scientist Joseph Nye filled this term with the liberal values such as democracy, freedom of speech, individualism, secularism, and so on. However, the concept of soft power is more of a socially constructed concept than a Western liberal one, since soft power is based on attractiveness, and the values and ideas themselves that can attract are not identical throughout the world. For example, Russian soft power consists of such values as respect for the feelings of believers, a ban on LGBT propaganda, and anti-colonialism. The author concludes that liberal ideas that form the soft power of the United States do not find support in Moroccan society, where the values of social harmony and religion are put at the forefront. Also, American educational institutions often ignore the needs of Moroccan society, as many of them do not teach Islamic and Arabic studies, which are the cornerstone of Moroccan society. In addition, Washington's constant support for the state of Israel in the conflict with Palestine also causes disappointment among Moroccans. Compared with the American model of soft power, the Russian type of soft power seems attractive to Moroccans due to the protection of religious feelings, traditional relations, family values, and support for the recognition of the state of Palestine. In conducting the study, the authors used standardized individual interview methods to obtain and analyze information and basic data. In addition, control interviews were conducted to clarify the information. The comparative analysis method was used to study the information and summarize the main conclusions of the article.

Published: January 2025

The role of Large Language Models (LLM) in new generation integrated development environments (IDEs). Tools such as GitHub Copilot, IntelliCode and Alice Code Assistant are explored in the context of their use in programming. The authors examine how LLMs enable the automation of key development tasks, including code autocompletion, error detection, refactoring, and code generation, which result in increased development efficiency and improved code quality. Special emphasis is placed on how LLMs affect developers' cognitive processes, such as problem-solving abilities, creativity, and professional skills. A review of existing integrated development environments that utilize large language models. LLM functionality for code autocompletion, fragment generation, error detection and correction was evaluated. Comparative methods were applied to evaluate the effectiveness of LLM compared to traditional development tools. Special attention was paid to analyzing the cognitive load caused by the use of LLMs and assessing their impact on the creative process. The novelty of the research consists in the complex analysis of LLM application in modern IDEs, as well as in revealing their potential for increasing developers' productivity and improving the quality of program code. It is concluded that LLM integration into IDEs allows not only speeding up the process of code creation, but also considerably increasing its quality due to intellectual support and automation of the routine tasks. However, while the benefits of integrating LLMs into IDEs are clear, limitations related to cognitive load, ethical issues, data security, and the need to maintain a balance between automation and development of programmers' skills are also identified.

Authors: Zolotukhina Daria
Published: January 2025

The object of this study is two caching and distributed data storage systems — Redis and Hazelcast — which are widely used to accelerate data access in high-load applications. This article presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of these systems based on key aspects important for efficient caching: architectural features, memory management models, clustering approaches, fault tolerance mechanisms, and scalability. Special attention is given to investigating caching patterns and support for SQL-like queries. The aim of the work is to provide an in-depth analysis of the advantages and limitations of Redis and Hazelcast in the context of data caching, as well as to identify their strengths and weaknesses under different loads and usage scenarios. The methodology of the research includes a comparative analysis of Redis and Hazelcast based on key aspects, with results presented in the form of a comparative table. Performance testing of CRUD operations was also conducted using automated tests integrated into a Spring Boot application. The study shows that Redis, being a single-threaded system with fast read and write operations, is more efficient for simple, localized applications, while Hazelcast, which supports multi-threading and dynamic clustering, handles large data volumes and distributed tasks more effectively. The author's contribution to the research is a comprehensive comparative analysis of these systems, considering key characteristics such as performance, scalability, and fault tolerance, along with testing their performance in real-world scenarios. The novelty of the research lies in the detailed examination of Redis and Hazelcast for data caching in high-load applications, which will be valuable for the development and optimization of the infrastructure of high-performance distributed systems that require real-time data caching.

The subject of the study is traditional Chinese costumes, their origin and forms of inheritance in the "new Chinese style". The object of the study is national clothing, the existence of which is a cultural epic spanning thousands of years and including the epochs of the reign of the largest Chinese dynasties. Turning to the past allows the author to demonstrate the depth and unique charm of oriental culture, to show the reasons for its relevance in the world of modern fashion. Such aspects of the topic as the reflection of the history and spiritual values of the nation in the objects and elements of Chinese clothing, as well as their impact on the global fashion industry, are considered in detail. Special attention is paid to the aesthetics of the Hanfu costumes, the baturukongkamshurd vest, the dianzi hair ornament, the head with one hieroglyph hairstyle, the Zhongshan and Cheongsam costumes. The work uses historical, cultural, comparative and analytical research methods. They allow us to trace not only the evolution of Chinese clothing, but also how representatives of the "new Chinese style" skillfully embody traditional drawings in modern design concepts, creating works that combine both cultural heritage and current fashion trends. The novelty of the research lies in identifying ways to transform traditional Chinese costumes into the fashion trends of the "new Chinese style". The author analyzed its wide popularity among modern youth, as well as its large-scale presence in the global media space. The findings of the study reveal the value of clothing as a unique cultural medium, and also reflect the outstanding contribution of the "new Chinese style" in its innovative reinvention. The author's contribution to the study is observations on the use of "folk Chinese aesthetics" in world fashion, which include Zhongshan, Cheongsam, Qipao costumes, as well as ancient techniques for creating jacquard, knotted batik, and antique embroidery.

The image of Moscow in modern Chinese textbooks of Russian as a Foreign language for higher education institutions
Authors: Barsukova Elena Aleksandrovna , Zhang Yan
Published: January 2025

The paper aims at describing the representation of the image of Moscow as an integral part of the image of Russia, formed in the consciousness of the end-users of Chinese Russian textbooks. To achieve this goal, the following tasks have been set and achieved: to select texts and illustrations centered on Moscow; to identify the components of the image of Moscow in the materials under consideration and to pinpoint the dominant aspect of the image; to determine the strategies of representing Moscow; to characterize the influence of the image of Moscow on the image of Russia as a whole. The methods employed in the study combine the elements of comparative analysis and content analysis of the material, description and induction. The research has demonstrated that, when selecting and presenting the teaching materials, the authors of the textbooks relied upon the strategy of linguocultural progression and holistic approach. The textbooks demonstrate a multifaceted image of Moscow. The findings of the study show that the analyzed textbooks provide the students with rich linguocultural information about Moscow, covering such aspects as history and culture, gastronomic tradition and holidays, education, transport, and trade. The studied materials use the constructive strategies of Moscow’s image presentation: the strategy of well-balanced presentation of the Russian culture and the Chinese culture; the strategy of the inclusion of phenomena of Russian culture into the world cultural heritage; the strategy of combination of the traditional and the modern in the description of Moscow. Overall, it can be argued that the textbooks under consideration project a positive image of Moscow, whose dominant component is the cultural aspect. The uniqueness of Moscow portrayed in the textbooks fosters Chinese students‘ interest in Russian culture and contributes to improving the perception of Moscow and Russia as a whole.
The archetypal image of the "Promised Land" in the Russian Utopia
Authors: Petrova Regina Andreevna
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the analysis of the archetypal image of the Promised Land in Russian utopian thought. The subject of the research is the literary utopias of M.M. Shcherbatov, V.F. Odoevsky, A.A. Bogdanov and the philosophical texts of N.F. Fedorov, S.N. Bulgakov, N.A. Berdyaev, reflecting collective hopes for finding social harmony. The object of research is the image of the Promised Land, which contains an archetypal idea of the place of prosperity in earthly reality. The main purpose of the article is to determine the specifics of the functioning of the archetypal image of the Promised Land in the Russian utopia, the features of which can be traced in the models of the best social structure of Russia depicted by the authors. The application of archetypal analysis to utopian pictures of the future is a little-studied technique, which determines the relevance of this study. The article uses comparative historical, hermeneutic and structural-typological methods to identify the genesis and development of the image of the Promised Land, analyze the texts of the authors in a cultural and historical aspect and identify similar features in them, making it possible to identify the image of the Promised Land as archetypal. The scientific novelty is due to the fact that the consideration of utopias is carried out through the prism of the archetypal image of the Promised Land, rooted in the collective unconscious and embodying the hopes of society for finding a world where the ideals of freedom, equality and justice will be embodied. It is determined that the archetypal image of the Promised Land in Russian utopia is a metaphorical expression of the search for a "lost paradise" and appears in utopian plots as a stable motive focusing faith in the coming of a bright future. The main stable components that make up the semantic core of the image of the Promised Land are highlighted. It is concluded that this image functions in utopian plots, on the one hand, as a topological constant indicating the place of action ("the land of Ophir", "the Northern Kingdom", "Mars"), on the other hand, as an idea of the ideal structure of social existence, which can be associated not only with real, but also transcendent reality, the spiritual state of society ("Millennium", "Kingdom of the Spirit", etc.).
Determination of catchment-scale hydrogeological parameters of fractured crystalline rocks using streamflow recession analysis – an example from south-western Poland
Authors: Olichwer Tomasz
Published: January 2025

To estimate catchment-scale hydrogeological parameters such as hydraulic conductivity (k) and specific yield (Sy), the streamflow recession analysis method proposed by Brutsaert and Nieber (1977) was used. The analysis employed the technique of fitting a theoretical recession curve to the observed data in which three points of transition between the short- and long-term flow regimes were determined. This method is a simple, fast, and cheap alternative to standard point-based hydrogeological methods using investigations carried out in hydrogeological boreholes. The study area covered the mountainous catchment of the Biała Lądecka River, located in south-western Poland and composed of metamorphic rocks. The hydrogeological environments drained by the Biała Lądecka are two zones, i.e. the zone of weathered covers and rock debris and the zone of fractured rock mass. The k values determined based on the recession analysis were in the boundary zone of the range from 10−4 to 10−5 m/s and they represented the upper range of the values reported in the literature (from 10−4 to 10−7 m/s). The Sy values at a level of 0.38–1.02%, in turn, entirely fitted the literature data. The results confirm the thesis that the recession method, despite certain limitations in terms of its applicability, can be well adapted to the conditions of a mountainous catchment composed of crystalline rocks where a cool temperate climate prevails.
The geology of the deepest Cenozoic lignite-rich grabens in Poland with particular reference to their lithostratigraphy: a comparative study
Authors: Widera Marek , Klęsk Jakub , Urbański Paweł
Published: January 2025

The thickest lignite seams in Poland are located in tectonic depressions such as the Kleszczów, Złoczew, and Lubstów grabens, as well as the Zittau (Żytawa) Basin. Their depth ranges from 220 m to 550 m, while the maximum lignite thickness ranges from approximately 90 m to over 250 m. The areas selected for this study include two Miocene lignite seams that have been exploited or prepared for mining, i.e. the third Ścinawa lignite seam (ŚLS-3) and the second Lusatian lignite seam (LLS-2). Currently, more than 95% of the Polish lignite production comes from the exploitation of these seams. Both lignite seams are accompanied by siliciclastic sediments that are lithologically very diverse. The lignite-rich grabens examined in this study form isolated structures and their individual geology is complex. Hence, apart from the Lubstów Graben, local lithostratigraphy is applied for each case, an approach that makes it difficult to compare the lithological units and their stratigraphic position with the Paleogene and Neogene lithostratigraphy used for the Polish Lowlands area. Therefore, it seems appropriate to present an outline of the geology of the Polish regions bearing most of the lignite seams, including a brief overview of their lithological and palaeotectonic characteristics. However, it is first necessary to clarify and compare the lithostratigraphy of the Cenozoic sediments that fill the studied grabens.
The effects of component rotation on H/V spectra: a comparison of rotational and translational data
Authors: Nawrocki Dariusz , Mendecki Maciej , Teper Leslaw
Published: January 2025

The presented investigation focused on site effect estimations, specifically resonance frequency and amplification. These estimations were carried out for both rotational and translational signals, using waveforms from mining-induced seismic events. Site effect parameters were calculated using the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) technique, which is commonly applied to translational records by comparing the spectral ratio between horizontal and vertical components. In this study, we also applied the horizontal-to-vertical (H/V) ratio to rotational records. However, due to the different orientations of motion propagation, we introduced the spectral H/V ratio for rotational motion as the torsion-to-rocking spectral ratio (TRSR). Furthermore, we analyzedthese signals according to two approaches. First, we estimated the site effect parameters for directly registered signals, and secondly, we considered rotated components by varying the angle from 0° to 180° in 5-degree increments. Generally, the H/V curves indicated two peaks for translational motions and four peaks for rotational motions. The averaged H/V spectra and spectra obtained for different angles of component rotation showed insignificant fluctuation in amplification values for both rotational and translational motions. However, when comparing each component’s spectrum for all angles, we observed changes in the site effect parameter values for both motion types. Radar plots depicting amplification values versus rotation angles for separated components revealed characteristic fluctuations, suggesting local anisotropy. Moreover, when comparing the radar plots between rotational and translational results, it was evident that rotational resonance frequencies shifted to higher frequency values, potentially indicating shallower geological layers as their source.
Ash admixtures formed during the loss on ignition (LOI) procedure and their impact on laser textural analysis results
Authors: Tsvirko Dmitry , Tołoczko Wojciech , Kittel Piotr
Published: January 2025

We present an experimental study that explores the feasibility of using the ash from biogenic deposits for laser textural analysis. The results have demonstrated that conducting ash textural analysis without prior chemical treatment can lead to unreliable results. Among other things, this is due to the “contamination” of the ash with aggregates formed by metal oxides and carbonates during ignition (LOI550 procedure) in a muffle furnace. Metal oxides and carbonates can create aggregates with silt and clay grains. As a result, the material coarsens, mainly to very coarse and coarse silt fractions. It is illustrated that the ash after LOI550 has been contaminated with oxides and carbonates of iron (Fe), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), sodium (Na), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb) and copper (Cu). Thus, we suggest a method of using 10% HCl to purify the ash from metal oxides and carbonates (so-called ash purification procedure or APP). The analysis in this paper focuses on the grain size composition of ash, both untreated and HCl-treated. The obtained results have been compared and discussed in detail.
Numerical modeling of a potential CO2-supplied enhanced geothermal system (CO2-EGS) in the Åsgard field, Norway

Published: January 2025

The principle of Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) technology is that water injected at a sufficiently high pressure will lead to the fracturing of naturally impermeable rocks, and as a result, this will create hydraulic communication between wells. In this way, reservoirs not previously considered to be perspective can provide geothermal heat to the surface. Since nearly two decades, CO2 is considered, mostly theoretically, as a working fluid that can potentially provide higher net power output than water in EGS’s installation. In this respect, the possibility of accessing high-temperature heat from the Åre and Tilje formations located on the shelf of the Norwegian Sea was analysed. The estimated temperature at the reservoir depth of 4,500–5,000 m is not less than 165°C. For this, a 3D numerical modelling was performed in order to analyse 10 different scenarios for heat extraction using supercritical CO2 (sCO2) as a working fluid. Results indicate that appropriate matching of the mass flow and temperature of the injected CO2 allows to avoid premature temperature decline in the reservoir. However, as Åre and Tilje formations are built from highly porous and relatively highly permeable rocks, the fluid entering the production well will always be a mixture of CO2 and water. This is advantageous from the point of view that a significant part of the injected CO2 is trapped in the reservoir, while the higher water content in the production well allows a significant temperature drop during fluid extraction to the surface to be avoided.
Hydrochemical aspects of water exchange through the bottom of headwater stream in suburban zone on the example of the Malina watercourse in Zgierz (Central Poland)
Authors: Ziułkiewicz Maciej , Grulke Rafał
Published: January 2025

Among the many factors determining the quality of river waters, the influence of the hyporheic zone (HZ) is gaining in importance. Watercourses that exist in the higher parts of catchments are relatively steep and shallow, and the topography of their valleys activate hyporheic flow. The main goal of this work is to assess the impact of the HZ on the hydrochemical state of the head watercourse of the Malina in the suburbs of the city of Zgierz with the focus on biogenic compounds. The riverbed of this stream was researched across two distinct stretches: erosive and accumulative, which differ in the conditions for the hyporheic zone’s interaction with the riverbed. The nutrients are delivered to the stream mainly in the erosive stretch and are related to the inflow of nutrient-rich groundwater from the urbanised catchment. The pollutants transported down by the stream are then delivered to the HZ in the accumulative stretch, where nitrates are denitrified and phosphates are deposited with the suspension. Ammonium nitrogen, in turn, is introduced into the stream from the HZ as a result of either the process of ammonification of organic matter deposited in sediments or inflow with polluted groundwater. The results indicate that the winter season is the most important period in shaping the interaction of river waters with the underlying hyporheic zone, in which the causal side of the relationship should be associated with the subchannel environment, and the effects are recorded in the river waters.
Complex and spatial analysis of geophysical data recorded in the areas of karst forms developed in horst structures
Authors: Gołębiowski Tomisław , Ćwiklik Michał , Guzior Dominika
Published: January 2025

The paper presents the results of geophysical surveys carried out over two voids occurring in limestone in the area of the Zakrzówek horst in Krakow, Poland. The first void was an anthropogenic cavern in the Kostrze site (a district of Krakow), while the second one was the Jasna cave (located in a reserve named “The Twardowski Rocks”). The main terrain surveys were carried out using GPR (ground penetrating radar). To reduce interpretative ambiguity, the GPR results were correlated with additional results obtained from two other methods, i.e. the GCM (ground conductivity meter) and ERT (electrical resistivity tomography). The main aim of the geophysical surveys was the detection and 3D visualisation of karst forms developed around both voids located in horst structures in limestone. The particular purpose of the research was to try to clarify the geological nature of the GPRnanomalies characterised by an almost complete lack of reflections; both ohmic and scattering attenuations of GPR signals were analysed to solve the reduction of the reflection amplitudes. Another important fact discussed in the paper was the low consistency and similarity of the results obtained from geophysical surveys carried out above the Jasna cave. The interpretation of the GPR and GCM data recorded over the anthropogenic cavern allowed the places of strong weathering/fracturing of limestone to be indicated as well as a zone of limestone filled with clay-rich material. The interpretation of the GPR and ERT data recorded over the cave made it possible to identify areas of the strong weathering/fracturing of limestone, faults, anastomoses and karst chimneys.

Authors: Słota-Valim Małgorzata , Lis-Śledziona Anita , Topór Tomasz
Published: January 2025

This paper evaluates the geothermal potential of the Main Dolomite formation in an oil and gas field on the Fore-Sudetic Monocline (SW, Poland). The reservoir characterization included a well-logging interpretation and developed 3D petrophysical and temperature models that provided information on storage potential, transport properties, and temperature conditions in the analyzed carbonate formation. Geothermal energy potential was assessed using heat in place (HIP) and recoverable heat (Hrec) parameters for water and CO2 systems, considering a 50-year plant lifespan. Petrophysical and temperature data classify reservoirs using unsupervised machine learning, identifying zones with high and low geothermal potential, noting a strong limestone and dolomite dichotomy. Dolomite horizon shows more promising reservoir quality with mean porosity and permeability of 0.045 and 0.4 mD, respectively, however, its mean thickness reaches 11.58 m at maximum. The calculated Hrec for a 50-year lifetime of a geothermal system varies across dolomite horizon. In the most promising areas of NNW, WSW, and E parts, the values of Hrec are 8.19, 3.47, and 1.34 MW for water, respectively, and 0.69, 0.29, and 0.11 MW for CO2 as working fluids. Remarkably, the energy locked in the NNW zone constitutes nearly 21% of the total geothermal energy potential within the entire dolomite horizons of the study area. The geothermal resources for the most perspective location within the dolomite horizon were estimated at 12.99 and 1.09 MW levels, using water and CO2 as working fluids, respectively, assuming 50 years of the project’s lifetime.
The usability of the Nash cascade-submerged cascade rainfall-runoff model with regard to other conceptual models
Authors: Laskowski Norbert , Kurnatowski Jacek
Published: January 2025

Conceptual hydrological models are an effective tool used to forecast runoff from catchments and assess changes in catchment dynamics. The article presents a modified concept of the Diskin parallel cascade model, with the replacement of one of the cascades with the submerged cascade model – the Nash cascade-submerged cascade model (NCSC2). Considering a watershed as a system where total runoff is determined by amounts of both surface and subsurface runoffs, the use of different model structures as surface and subsurface runoffs is reasonable. Adopting 13 different objective functions, the comparative analysis of NCSC2, Nash cascade, Diskin model, single linear reservoir and submerged reservoir cascade (SC2) models has been carried out in the catchment of six Polish rivers. The research has shown that the use of the submerged cascade as one of the Diskin model cascades positively affects the quality of the model.

Published: January 2025

Ante la escasez de antecedentes, este estudio indagó, desde un enfoque principalmente cuantitativo, 4 aspectos del empleo de test por parte de los/as psicólogos/as chilenos/as: caracterización del uso, pruebas de uso más frecuente, calidad psicométrica, problemas percibidos y actitudes. Una muestra no probabilística intencionada de 381 psicólogos/as (71,7% mujeres, Medad = 41,35 años, DE = 11,36) respondió un cuestionario en línea que abordó los aspectos previamente mencionados. Los datos fueron examinados mediante análisis estadísticos descriptivos e inferenciales. Complementariamente, se efectuó una revisión sistemática cualitativa de la literatura sobre fundamentos psicométricos (confiabilidad, validez y/o referentes normativos) de los test empleados habitualmente en Chile. El principal hallazgo reveló que 15 de los 20 test de uso más frecuente no cuentan con evidencia que respalde su calidad psicométrica en poblaciones chilenas. Otros resultados muestran que el empleo de test es una práctica extendida en el ejercicio profesional, orientada preferentemente a la evaluación clínica, de adolescentes y adultos, realizada a través de unos pocos test que se repiten en los distintos campos profesionales y con presencia mayoritaria de técnicas proyectivas. La discusión se centra en la inobservancia de exigencias básicas para una correcta utilización de test y sus eventuales consecuencias. Se plantean posibles explicaciones para este proceder profesional y se ofrecen propuestas para mejorar las buenas prácticas en el empleo de pruebas psicológicas, señalándose, entre otras, el fortalecimiento de la formación de los usuarios de test y la adopción de estrategias restrictivas y formativas para favorecer el uso correcto de los test en Chile.

Published: January 2025

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo describir el tipo de estimulación en el hogar y los niveles de estrés de pandemia percibidos en cuidadores primarios durante el contexto COVID-19; así como también evaluar la posible asociación entre dichas variables. La muestra estuvo conformada por 304 cuidadores primarios argentinos de niños/as de 0 a 12 años (M.edad = 6,23 años, DE = 3,44 años, masculino = 136). Se administró un cuestionario sociodemográfico ad hoc, un cuestionario de estimulación en el hogar ad hoc y la validación argentina del Inventario SISCO del Estrés de Pandemia (ISEP). Se encontró que la TV e internet fueron los dispositivos más utilizados por los infantes (2 a 4 horas diarias). Además, se encontró una asociación positiva entre hacinamiento y mayores niveles de estrés de pandemia, predominante este último en las familias que conviven con una persona de riesgo o eran personas de riesgo. Por último, a mayor lectura compartida y cantidad de libros, más estrategias de afrontamiento. Se concluye que se debe trabajar con el tipo de contenido y la cantidad de tiempo que los infantes están expuestos a los dispositivos tecnológicos y libros, y con el posible estrés que pueda surgir de las familias en donde haya personas de riesgo.

Published: January 2025

La pandemia por COVID-19 que afectó al mundo entero ha traído desafíos complejos, especialmente para las familias con niños y adolescentes. Se ha descrito que el impacto del encierro o confinamiento de la pandemia sobre la salud mental ha sido devastador, ya que ha limitado los recursos con los que las familias contaban, incrementando en los cuidadores mayores niveles de estrés y demanda de esfuerzos. Este estudio presenta los resultados de un cuestionario online dirigido a cuidadores, madres o padres, con al menos un hijo entre los 0 a 11 años que vivieron las primeras semanas de confinamiento a lo largo de Chile. Se estudiaron las variables asociadas a síntomas físicos, ansiosos, del estado de ánimo, conducta disruptiva, problemas del sueño, baja tolerancia a la frustración, dificultades atencionales, hiperactividad y conductas regresivas que están relacionadas al impacto psicológico que ha tenido la medida de confinamiento en niños de 0 a 11 años, a través de un cuestionario cuantificando su frecuencia por tramo de edad, identificando cómo estos efectos se expresan en relación a las etapas vitales del desarrollo infantil. Los resultados señalan que a menor edad de los niños (0 a 3 años) mayor presencia de conductas disruptivas, mientras que a mayor edad (9 a 11 años) se observa mayor presencia de síntomas como tristeza, ansiedad, desgano y problemas asociados al sueño. Se discuten las implicancias de estos resultados en términos de políticas y estrategias de abordaje de los mismos, las cuales debiesen considerar tanto la etapa del desarrollo de los niños/as, como a los cuidadores principales dado el rol protector que estos pueden cumplir frente a las situaciones estresantes.
Introduction

Published: January 2025

This special issue showcases a collection of nine articles that illustrate the rich diversity of experimental psychology research that is currently being carried out in Chile. This compilation of studies was born out of an initiative of the Basic Experimental Psychology Division of the Chilean Scientific Society of Psychology (Capítulo de Psicología Experimental Básica de la Sociedad Científica de Psicología de Chile, SCP), seeking to contribute not only to basic psychology but also to the development of evidence-based applied psychology, such as psychotherapeutic treatments. Some of these works result from international collaborations with researchers from countries such as EEUU, Spain, Netherlands, and Mexico, including authors who have been referents in their respective fields due to their significant contributions to scientific psychology. In addition, these nine studies illustrate how experimental psychology in Chile avails itself of a wide diversity of techniques and methods, ranging from behavioral observation to electrophysiological techniques and computational modeling, applying them to a wide variety of areas, including behavioral, cognitive, evolutionary, and social approaches.

Como toda revista científica que utiliza el sistema de pares evaluadores, la revista Psykhe recibe la valiosa colaboración de numerosos académicos e investigadores de instituciones de variadas latitudes. Todos/as ellos/as aceptan desinteresadamente evaluar en el sistema de doble ciego los artículos que se les envían para su revisión. Nuestro equipo editorial reconoce la labor de cada uno de ellos/as, junto con la de los/as miembros del Comité Editorial. Sin la contribución de los evaluadores, mantener una revista de calidad sería casi imposible. A continuación, se señalan los nombres de los evaluadores que contribuyeron durante el año 2014. Pensamos que la calidad de la revista, en un importante sentido, se debe al aporte de tiempo y experticia de quienes aparecen nombrados.

Formación en Psicología Comunitaria en una Universidad Chilena: Sistematización de un Trabajo Territorial con Migrantes
Authors: Riveros Ahumada Paula , Nilo Pérez Rubén , Olivares Espinoza Bárbara , Reyes Espejo María Isabel
Published: January 2025

Se presentan los resultados de una experiencia de formación académica en psicología comunitaria, en desarrollo desde el año 2013 en una universidad privada chilena ubicada en la ciudad de Santiago. Dicha experiencia, en curso, se ha implementado mediante la vinculación institucional con el municipio de Independencia (área urbana de Santiago) y se ha orientado hacia el trabajo con la población migrante crecientemente avecindada en dicha localidad. La experiencia se describe tanto en base al marco institucional posibilitado por la política de aprendizaje y servicio de la universidad, como por la propuesta pedagógica asumida por el equipo docente y la evaluación de los actores locales involucrados. La descripción de esta propuesta, se realiza a través de la revisión y análisis documental de información proveniente de diversas fuentes escritas, 8 entrevistas individuales a miembros de la comunidad y funcionarios municipales, 2 grupos focales a estudiantes y 18 cuestionarios aplicados a docentes y estudiantes, mediante un muestreo intencionado. La información es analizada cualitativamente, mediante la técnica de análisis temático. Los resultados describen el desarrollo del proyecto formativo en un marco institucional definido desde una política pública que aprovecha el contexto de migración para liderar acciones de intervención en el ámbito local, atendiendo a las demandas sociales vinculadas al fenómeno.
Circuitos Socio-Asistenciales para Población en Situación de Calle en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires: Representaciones Sociales y Prácticas

Published: January 2025

El presente trabajo se enmarca en un proyecto de investigación participativa financiado por la Universidad de Buenos Aires, que tuvo como objetivo indagar las trayectorias de vida y los procesos de construcción de identidad en personas en situación de calle (PSC) en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina, y generar un espacio de participación y reflexión colectiva que facilite problematizar dichas trayectorias, así como los circuitos socio-asistenciales por los que transitan. Con una modalidad de investigación cualitativa de tipo participativo, el trabajo se organizó en 3 etapas: (a) diagnóstico participativo, (b) problematización y (c) primera intervención. En forma intencional, se conformó una muestra de 10 organizaciones que son parte de la oferta asistencial a las PSC, y con un muestreo bola de nieve una de 18 PSC adultas usuarias de esta oferta, hombres y mujeres, que se encuentran en situación de calle con una permanencia mayor a 3 años. Por medio de entrevistas, grupos focales, un mapeo colectivo y la construcción de un árbol de problemas, y utilizando el enfoque de la teoría fundamentada en los hechos y análisis de contenido, se encontró que las intervenciones se organizan en función de ciertas representaciones sociales sobre la situación de calle, sobre las propias personas y sobre lo que se entiende por “atender el problema”. A partir de estos resultados, se problematizan los límites y desafíos de las intervenciones con enfoques comunitarios con PSC, así como la relación entre la universidad y la comunidad en los procesos de construcción de conocimientos.
Agriculture data sharing: Conceptual tools in the technical toolbox and implementation in the Open Ag Data Alliance framework
Authors: Ault Aaron , Palacios Servio , Evans John
Published: January 2022

Data privacy has become a critical issue within the agriculture and food industry. The real‐time conversion of data to information has been shown to be incredibly valuable to the industry but often requires sharing data with software, platforms, customers, and regulators outside the data owner's control. While much work in this area has focused on legal protections for data privacy, less has been devoted to technical architectures to support different sharing models. This paper defines some “tools in the toolbox” for designing such systems that are accessible to both technical and nontechnical audiences as well as several “sharing design patterns” using the Open Ag Data Alliance (OADA) framework. These tools and patterns are helpful in classifying and understanding both existing and future data flows in agriculture and their privacy implications.
The role of the electrocardiogram in the recognition of cardiac transplant rejection: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Background

In cardiac transplant recipients, the electrocardiogram (ECG) is a noninvasive measure of early allograft rejection. The ECG can predict an acute cellular rejection, thus shortening the time to recognition of rejection. Earlier diagnosis has the potential to reduce the number and severity of rejection episodes.

Methodology

A systematic literature review was conducted to identify and select the original research reports on using electrocardiography in diagnosing cardiac transplant rejection in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Studies included reported sensitivity and specificity of ECG readings in heart transplant recipients during the first post‐transplant year. Data were analyzed with Review manager version 5.4. p‐value was used in testing the significant difference.

Results

After the removal of duplicates, 98 articles were eligible for screening. After the full‐text screening, a total of 17 papers were included in the review based on the above criteria. A meta‐analysis of five studies was done.

Conclusion

In heart transplant recipients, a noninvasive measure of early allograft rejection has the potential to reduce the number and severity of rejection episodes by reducing the time and cost of surveillance of rejection and shortening the time to recognition of rejection.
Fabrication of monolithic frits and columns for chip‐based multidimensional separation devices

Published: January 2022

In this work, devices for two‐dimensional separations are considered. The device contains a flow distributor, a first‐dimension channel, and 17 second‐dimension outlets. In the design, all connections between the first‐dimension channel, the flow distributor, and the second‐dimension outlets were tapered, with a minimal diameter of 20 μm. The use of photo‐masking is explored for the fabrication of monolithic frits in all tapered connections. Monolithic frits with optimized permeability and length were successfully fabricated in all 33 tapered channels through light‐induced polymerization, photo‐masking, and selective exposure. The efficacy of the monolithic frits was demonstrated by creating a packed bed of 15‐μm particles, confined within the first‐dimension channel. The outlet of the first‐dimension channel was successfully connected to a mass spectrometer. Effective flow confinement was demonstrated with a reversed‐phase separation of a mixture of five standard peptides.
