Analyzing Development Administration in Nigeria: Prospects and Challenges
Authors: Onah Vitalis Emeka
Published: December 2023

Economy and efficiency serves as both ends and means blurring the distinction between them. Development Administration therefore can be seen as an instrumental means for defining, consolidating, and implementing national goals in developing countries. The study is guided by two specific objectives; examine the challenges of development administration in Nigeria and ascertain plausible mitigation strategies to the identified challenges towards engineering and fostering social and economic progress in Nigeria. The study adopted the Marxist theory of post colonial state, by Alavi (1972). Content analysis were used in the study. However, the study revealed that Nation-building and socio economic development are dependent on development administration, hence recommended amongst others that promoting and creating enabling policies, environment and building capacity for participation in global economy is imperative in mitigating perceived challenges.

Authors: Asomba Ifeyinwa U. , Owa John T. , Chime Jessie Onyinye
Published: December 2023

This study investigates the impact of tax evasion and avoidance on the economic development of grassroots communities in Nigeria. Taxation is a fundamental component of public finance and is instrumental in supporting socio-economic development. However, the extent to which tax evasion and avoidance affect the economic well-being of grassroots communities has received limited attention in the literature. The study adopted descriptive research method technique. The findings from this research reveal the multifaceted nature of this relationship. Tax evasion is shown to reduce government revenue, exacerbate income inequality, and undermine governance, all of which have adverse effects on the economic development of grassroots communities. Conversely, the impact of tax avoidance is more complex, as it can stimulate investments but also erode government revenue when practiced excessively. It was therefore, recommended the importance of addressing tax evasion and avoidance issues in Nigeria, especially concerning grassroots economic development. It emphasizes the need for more effective tax policies and enforcement mechanisms that promote compliance while encouraging legitimate investment.
Orland szalony jako poemat o kobietach. Analiza postaci na tle tradycji epickiej: Angelika, Marfiza i Bradamanta
Authors: Skowron Maja
Published: December 2023

Orlando furioso by Ludovico Ariosto as a Poem on Women. Angelica, Marfisa, Bradamante and their heroic epic representation: The article concerns Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso, and its interpretation according to which it may be read as a poem about women who break the traditional male monopoly on heroism in the epic literature. The author aims to prove Ariosto’s innovative approach by analyzing Orlando Furioso’s protagonists. Hence the paper is mainly dedicated to three of Ariosto’s characters – Angelica, Marfisa and Bradamante. Those women are presented in a comparative perspective against their traditional prototypes with particular reference to those moments in the poem that render visible Ariosto’s novelty in creating his protagonists. Angelica, Marfisa and Bradamante, especially in contrast with the poem’s male cavalieri seem to be more in line with the canonical representations of heroism.
In the first part of the study, the author presents Ariosto’s Angelica, often interpreted as a mere capricious object of man’s desire. Nevertheless, the character appears as self-aware and confident, striving to make her own decision when it comes to choosing the partner for life. The second part of the article is dedicated to Ariosto’s most canonical virago – Marfisa. Undefeated in the battlefield till the end of the poem, she often breaks her stereotypical comical image and consciously resigns from love. The last part of the study concentrates on Bradamante, who combines both amori and armi: the Christian knight, future founder of the Este noble family despite being in constant pursuit of her lover Ruggero, not sacrificing her passion for chivalry. According to the author of the article, Bradamante should be perceived as the central character of Orlando Furioso, as she carries the main idea of Ariosto’s masterpiece.
Material Loss: Multimodality and Mourning in B.S. Johnson’s The Unfortunates and Anne Carson’s Nox
Authors: Drąg Wojciech
Published: December 2023

B.S. Johnson’s The Unfortunates (1969) and Anne Carson’s Nox (2010) are among the most formally inventive and materially unique literary responses to personal loss. The first novel-in-a-box in English literature, The Unfortunates is a poignant account of the premature death of Johnson’s best friend Tony Tillinghast. Also contained in a box, Carson’s elegy is printed on a 25-metre-long concertinaed scroll, which contains a collage of textual and visual fragments of various artefacts connected with Carson’s dead brother. This article considers the implications of certain visual and tactile properties of both works for their representation of loss and the work of mourning, as theorized by Sigmund Freud and Jacques Derrida. It argues that both the card-shuffle structure and the scroll format accentuate the ongoingness of mourning and convey scepticism about the possibility of any closure. The article also examines the significance of encasing the contents of both elegies in coffin-like boxes and the importance of their extensive use of fragmentation.
„Garnca pańskiej kaszy chłopska krew niewarta”, czyli o wyzwoleniu włościan w Słowie o Jakubie Szeli Brunona Jasieńskiego
Authors: Pfeifer Kasper
Published: December 2023

Artykuł analizuje politykę Słowa o Jakubie Szeli Brunona Jasieńskiego. Drugi poemat polskiego futurysty (1926) podejmuje problematykę dominującej mitologii panowania w II Rzeczypospolitej. Dyskutując uwikłania historiografii w aparat władzy, autor rozprawy śledzi sposoby, w jakie utwór Jasieńskiego rozsadza hegemoniczny dyskurs o rabacji galicyjskiej, przedstawia ją jako pozytywną opowieść o nieudanej próbie emancypacji i przechwytuje dawne chłopskie pragnienia, by projektować potencjalność nowej wspólnoty. Jasieński dyskutuje w swoim poemacie policyjne uwikłania postszlacheckiej historiografii oraz poszukuje dróg wiodących do przezwyciężenia jej hegemonicznych pretensji do uniwersalizmu. Z następująco rozumianego napięcia wyłaniają się stawiane przez poetę pytania o to, co powinniśmy uważać za wspólne oraz jak należy używać przeszłości oraz polityki estetyki w walce o rekonfigurację dominujących sposobów bycia razem. How Much Is The Peasant Blood Worth? On the Emancipation of Peasants in Bruno Jasieński’s The Tale of Jakub Szela This paper analyzes the politics of the Tale of Jakub Szela (Słowo o Jakubie Szeli, 1926) by Bruno Jasieński. The second long poem of the most renowned Polish futurist investigates mechanisms of the mythology of power in the 1920s Poland. Discussing the entanglements of historiography in the power apparatus, one may trace how Jasieński’s work exercises the hegemonic discourse on the Peasant Uprising of 1846 in Galicia, proposing to use this historical event as a positive story about emancipation and the nucleus for the new community. In his poem, Jasieński discusses the suppressing attributes of nationalist historiography and explores possibilities to overcome its hegemonic claims to universalism. From this tension arise Jasieński’s questions about what we should consider common or collectively shared and how unconventional historiography and politics of aesthetics should be used during the struggle for reconfiguring the prevalent ways of being together in social context.
Ożywianie pamięci: trauma, przemoc seksualna i intersekcjonalność w Pałacu Wiesława Myśliwskiego
Authors: Pobłocki Kacper
Published: December 2023

Tekst stanowi krytyczne omówienie powieści Pałac Wiesława Myśliwskiego. Autor najpierw przedstawia istniejące interpretacje tej powieści, a następnie pokazuje, iż brakuje w nich opisu tego, co jest jednym z fundamentalnych elementów fabuły: opisu przemocy seksualnej „jaśniepanów” na kobietach zarówno z klasy szlacheckiej, jak i chłopskiej. Na podstawie tego materiału autor twierdzi, iż Pałac jest przenikliwą analizą związków między klasowością a płcią kulturową, i w tym sensie pokazuje, iż proza Myśliwskiego jest intersekcjonalna. W ostatniej części artykułu autor omawia najnowsze badania psychologiczne oraz neurologiczne traumy i pokazuje, że tłumaczą one nie tylko treści zawarte w Pałacu, ale i formę tej powieści.

Reviving the Memory: Trauma, Sexual Violence and Intersectionality in Wiesław Myśliwski’s The Palace

This article is a critical analysis of the novel The Palace by Wieslaw Myśliwski. The author first presents the existing interpretations of this work, and then shows that they lack a description of what is one of the most fundamental elements of the plot: the description of sexual violence by the noblemen against women of both the gentry and peasant social classes. Based on this material, the author argues that The Palace is a compelling analysis of the relationship between class and gender, and in this sense shows Myśliwski’s prose as intersectional. In the very last part of the essay, the author discusses the latest psychological and neurological studies of trauma and shows that they explain not only the content of The Palace but also the unusual form of this novel.
Spatial Variability of Average Annual and Monthly Minimum River Flow in Poland
Authors: Baran-Gurgul Katarzyna , Kołodziejczyk Katarzyna , Rutkowska Agnieszka
Published: December 2023

The aim of this article is to analyse the spatial variability of SNQ, the average annual minimum river flow, as well as SNQm (m = 1, 2, …12), the average monthly minimum river flow in Poland.

The data were obtained from the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management – National Research Institute (IMWM-NRI) in the form of the daily flow series from the period between 01 Nov 1990 and 31 Oct 2020 from 433 gauging cross-sections located within the territory of Poland. The results of the analyses are presented on maps of the physiographic regions of Poland (the Coastlands, the Lakelands, the Lowlands, the Highlands, the Carpathians and the Sudety Mountains).

In order to compare SNqm – the unit average minimum monthly flow between the physiographic regions, the Kruskal-Wallis test with the Dunn (Bonferroni) adjustment was performed. In order to evaluate the spatial variability of the SNqm, the hypothesis was verified for each gauging station that the Spearman correlation coefficient between the SNqm and the zero point of the gauge was different from zero.

The SNqm flow changed over the year. As expected, the highest values were observed in March and April, and the lowest in July and August. Regardless of the month, the rivers in the central part of Poland (the Lowlands) were less water abundant than those in other regions of the country while the greatest flows were observed in the mountain rivers.

Statistically, no difference was observed between the SNqm in the Coastlands, the Carpathians and the Sudety Mts., and in nearly all of the months between the SNqm in the Lakelands and the Lowlands.

In the whole territory of Poland, the river flow was dependent on the altitude of the catchment, while the strongest correlation was observed in the mountain regions.
GPR Signal Analysis for the Exploration of Loose Zones in the Near Surface Underground
Authors: Gołębiowski Tomisław
Published: December 2023

In the paper, non-standard signal and image processing applied for the GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) data record for various
antennae orientations was presented and discussed. The terrain surveys were carried out in the post-mining region in Poland where
numerous sinkholes and subsidence areas were observed on the surface due to the former mining activity. The GPR surveys
were conducted between two existing sinkholes and the aim of measurements was detection of loose zones in the ground created
by suffosion process which caused the formation of the mentioned two sinkholes. In the paper, the Author proposed a new way
of processing and analysis of radargrams based on three steps, i.e. 1D more advanced processing of signals/traces, 2D more
advanced image processing of combined radarogram, visualisation and analysis of selected signal attributes.
Pitfall trap efficiency in sampling small vertebrates (Anura, Squamata, and Mammalia) in fragments of the Southeastern Atlantic Forest, Brazil
Authors: Garey Michel Varajão , Sturaro Marcelo José , Vicente Ferreira Gabriel Spanghero , Silva Vinicius Xavier da
Published: December 2023

Pitfall traps are a sampling method broadly used in studies with small terrestrial vertebrates. In this paper, we compared the efficiency of modified pitfall traps in sampling anurans, squamates, and mammals. In two forest fragments of the Seasonal Semi-deciduous Atlantic Forest, we set up 26 arrays of drift fences and pitfall traps, composed of four 30-liter buckets, each set up arranged in a ‘Y’ shape linked by a fence of 4 m in length and 0.5 m in height. We tested for the effect of an internal rim on the border of the buckets by comparing buckets with and without a rim on capture efficiency. In general, we did not observe any effect of the rims in capture efficiency, independently of the bucket position where the rim was present. Still, terminal buckets with rims were less efficient in capturing rodents. We hypothesized that the use of buckets with rims did not increase the capture of small vertebrates due to the animal’s ability to perceive the rim due to substrate instability. However, the pitfall trap efficiently captures small vertebrates, and we do not recommend using the internal rims.
Necesidad de una mayor reflexión iusfilosófica en el derecho administrativo
Authors: Romero Esteban José Ignacio
Published: December 2023

El presente trabajo intenta demostrar que ciertas decisivas nociones del derecho administrativo necesitan imperiosamente ser enriquecidas por una profunda reflexión iusfilosófica. Al cientificismo propio de esta rama del derecho, se propicia una integración crítica valorativa que trace vinculaciones necesarias e intrínsecas entre criterios de validez formal y sustancial. Se reflexiona sobre el concepto mayoritario de acto administrativo, evidenciándose una aproximación positivista y voluntarista. Asimismo, se analiza qué noción de justicia subyace en las decisiones administrativas. Y finalmente, se estudia la presunción de legitimidad desde un punto de vista lógico.

Controversias en torno al Plan Grinspun (1983-1985): debates de política económica en El Periodista de Buenos Aires
Authors: Rossi Ignacio Andrés
Published: December 2023

El estudio histórico de las revistas y publicaciones periódicas viene cobrando un impuso importante durante la última década. Especialmente en los análisis de las dimensiones económica y de política económica, generalmente menos atendidos frente a otras como la cultural o estrictamente política. En este trabajo, se propone abordar la publicación El Periodista de Buenos Aires (1984-1989) -en adelante, EP-, un semanario nacido al calor del regreso de la democracia argentina en 1983 que no cuenta con estudios sobre su staff económico. La publicación, que mantuvo una filiación cercana a las izquierdas democráticas de aquel entonces, abrió debates de primer orden en torno a la política económica de los ochenta. Así, se analizan sus trayectorias políticas y económicas, sus antecedentes, temas de interés y principales debates recuperando las metodologías utilizadas recientemente. Se concluyó en que, a pesar de cierta distancia con el gobierno, los analistas del EP mostraron cierto apoyo al Plan del ministro Bernardo Grinspun. También, que, junto con tener posturas firmes sobre los temas más controversiales de la economía como el deterioro de los ingresos o la fuga de capitales, radicalizaron sus posiciones a medida que se deterioraba la macroeconomía nacional.

The study’s novelty lies in its interdisciplinary approach, offering a nuanced understanding of how technology can enrich language acquisition while preserving cultural heritage.
Empower HER: Education as a Force against Violence on Women
Authors:   Research Scholar, Department of Social Work, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India, Zaheer Saman
Published: December 2023

Violence against women is perhaps the most shameful human rights violation, and it is perhaps the most pervasive. It is a particularly severe problem in India. While 2020 saw the registration of 28,046 cases of rape, this increased to 31,677 in 2021. Conversely, overall crimes against women rose from 56.5% in 2020 to 64.5% in 2021. The majority of cases categorised as crimes against women were reported under ‘Cruelty by husband or his relatives’ (31.8%), followed by ‘Assault on woman with intent to outrage her modesty’ (20.8%), ‘Kidnapping and abduction of women’ (17.6%) and ‘Rape’ (7.4%) (NCRB, 2021). The Government of India has enacted specific laws and implemented several schemes operated by different departments and ministries to safeguard the interests of women and uplift their status in society. In spite of constitutional guarantees, legislative provisions, judiciary mandate and administrative efforts, women security in India is still lacking in some areas. Mere enactment of laws and chalking out of schemes are not much effective for curbing these atrocities thereby empowering women. This empowerment is possible only through education. Thus, empowering women through education has become the need of the hour. This paper is an attempt to analyse women empowerment in India by looking into the laws and schemes of the Government of India for addressing the violence against them. The study reveals that the women of India are relatively disempowered and gender gap still exists in spite of the various efforts undertaken by the Government. This paper further discusses the impact of education on empowerment of women and how it can bring about a positive change in the attitude of people. The study concludes by observing that access to education is just an enabling factor to empowerment but to achieve the goal, depends largely on the change in the attitude of both men and women towards women.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Organ donation is either when a person allows healthy transplantable organs/tissues to be removed after death, or when the donor is alive. Digitization in various aspects of healthcare is replacing humans, eliminating biases and judgement errors. The use of an android application reduces subjectivity in need assessment, accessing basic information and contacting the right facilities to register for organ donation. Objectives: To develop an android application to increase awareness among participants. To assess knowledge, attitudes and practices related to organ donation through the application. To evaluate satisfaction levels regarding the android application. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 384 participants of urban and rural areas of Pali district over four months. A predesigned pretested questionnaire was used for data collection by trained volunteers and analyzed using Epi info (version 7.2). Results: The study was conducted among 192 urban and 192 rural participants of Pali district whose average age was 27.5 years in urban and 24 years respectively ,60.2% were females ,29.2% were married, 96% belonged to Hindu religion and 43% were medical students .Although 82.8% of the participants had heard about organ donation only 17.2% had pledged to donate organs. The rural and urban differences were marked stating religion as a determinant of their attitude for organ donation (p-value 0.009), that infants and elders could not donate organs (p-value 0.014), that organ donation was costly (p -value 0.00), that doctors should not advocate organ donation (p-value 0.014). The median agreement was above 5 on the Likert’s scale regarding the application being better than print media, increasing insight to organ donation and giving a sense of social responsibility. Conclusions: Awareness about organ donation is marred by myths, but the community had a positive attitude to use the application for increasing awareness levels.

Authors: Pérez Evelyn , Ettiene Gretty , Ramírez Maribel , Gómez Ángel
Published: December 2023

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is one of the most important fruit trees in Venezuela due to the acceptance of its fresh and processed fruit with relevant sensory and nutritional characteristics. The establishment of the crop in the producing areas has been the result of the initiative of leading farmers in the country. Due to the potential of guava, the present review aimed to describe the phenology, environment, and presence of secondary metabolites in P. guajava. The search for information on P. guajava included several key words such as phenology, flowering, fruiting, and secondary metabolism. Sixty-six references were selected from 130 results, including research articles, reviews, and books published between 1991 and 2023. Secondary metabolite biosynthesis is a dynamic process that depends on numerous factors associated with the plant and the environment. The content of phenols and flavonoids in guava can help characterize its production, agroindustrial, and pharmaceutical importance, be a tool for cultivar selection, and anticipate the content of other secondary metabolites to identify plants that differ in their production.

INCREASING INTRINSIC MOTIVATION IN BLENDED LEARNING THROUGH DIGITAL PLAYLISTS
Authors:   National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Chue Kah
Published: December 2023

Blended learning has become one of the most frequently used instructional pedagogy today. Increasingly, it is rising in importance in many educational organizations. However, there are still several challenges faced by teachers, specifically in the online component of blended learning. One prevalent challenge that had been identified was students’ intrinsic motivation. Adopting from self-determination theory, the current study aims to address this by investigating the relation between intrinsic motivation with perceived autonomy, competency and relatedness for primary school students. At the same time, it examined the use of a digital online playlist in increasing the level of intrinsic motivation in blended lessons. A total of 95 primary school students (50 boys, 45 girls) across three classes in Singapore participated in the research. Results indicated that perceived autonomy was the main significant predictor of intrinsic motivation. Perceived competence and relatedness did not play a significant role in blended learning. Additionally, the use of a digital playlist had a mixed impact. Some students showed an increase in intrinsic motivation, autonomy, competence and relatedness whilst others did not. The main implication to education is that whilst digital playlists is a simple and effective tool that can assist teachers in creating personalised tasks, it is not a panacea and learner’s characteristics would need to be considered in planning lessons.
A THREE-STEP TEACHING MODEL FOR MANY-CORE CACHE MEMORY DESIGN
Authors:   University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, USA, CHU YUL
Published: December 2023

The shift in processor design towards manycore architectures necessitates effective management of data in cache memories, posing challenges related to cache coherence and parallel computing. This paper proposes a three-step teaching model to meet the demand for designing cache memory for many-core systems. The steps include: 1) acquiring a comprehension of an open-source simulator like FM-SIM (Flexible Multicore Cache Simulator), 2) learning the process of collecting trace files using Pin Tools, and 3) designing and integrating a new cache memory and/or cache coherence protocol into FM-SIM to assess their efficacy. The proposed model has demonstrated its capability to enable students to make significant progress in exploring and researching modern cache memory design, particularly in the context of manycore architectures.

A Rifampicina mostrou-se, exceto num caso, muito mais rápida na regressão da baciloscopia, e bem mais ativa no controle da síndrome tegumentar. Os doentes foram observados num período mínimo de oito meses, sem que efeitos colaterais de monta fossem constatados. O DDS foi usado na dosagem de 50 a 100 mg diários, e a Rifampicina na dose de 450 a 600 mg por dia.

Manutenção de tatus em cativeiro e resultados de inoculação do Mycobacterium Leprae
Authors: OPROMOLLA Diltor Vladimir Araújo , ARRUDA Olavo Speranza de , FLEURY Raul Negrão
Published: December 2023

Os autores relatam sua experiência na manutenção de tatus em cativeiro e apresentam os resultados da inoculação do M. leprae. Inicialmente fazem considerações sobre a proveniência dos animais, como é processada sua captura e as tentativas que realizaram até conseguirem as instalações atuais para albergá-los. Relatam ainda as experiências feitas para a padronização de uma ração que fosse adequada e o resultado a que chegaram, que consiste de uma ração para frangos misturada a pão, ovos, carne e leite. Além disso, discorrem sobre o registro e o exame dos animais, que se constitui principalmente em um exame físico do animal na entrada, verificação do peso e temperatura retal e a realização de exame de fezes, hemograma e homossedimentação, e sobre como os animais são imobilizados para a colheita do sangue e para as inoculações. Finalmente, apresentam os seus resultados da inoculação do M. leprae em 3 animais da espécie Euphractus sexticinctus e em 26 animais da espécie Dasypus novemcinctus com referência especial a um D. novemcinctus (n.° 19) que apresentou infecção sistêmica após 15 meses de inoculação por via subcutânea e intravenosa. Bacilos foram encontrados em grande quantidade em vários órgãos como pele, linfonodos, fígado, supra-renais e baço. Não foram encontrados bacilos no miocárdio, pâncreas, tireóide e testículos. Ao que parece, este constitui o primeiro animal da espécie D. novemcinctus que apresentou infecção experimental sistêmica com o M. leprae na América do Sul. Um outro tatu (n.° 11), inoculado com suspensão de 1,2 x 10e bacilos por via intracardíaca, já apresenta nódulos com bacilos na parede abdominal após 10 meses de inoculação. Concluem considerando que os resultados já conseguidos darão em breve condições para fornecerem material para as instituições existentes no País ou outras que se interessarem no estudo do M. leprae e para o preparo de antígeno de Missuda tão carente nos programas de controle de hanseníase.

Histopatologia da reação de mitsuda em adultos sadios nao comunicantes de hansenianos
Authors: Michalany NíIceo Schwery , Michalany Jorge
Published: December 2023

Estudo pormenorizado da histopatologia da reação de Mitsuda em 100 adultos sadios não comunicantes de hansenianos, inoculados com a lepromina A (armadillo). Verificou-se que a estrutura histológica da reação de Mitsuda com a lepromina integral A não difere daquela observada com a lepromina integral H. Não há também diferenças entre o quadro histológico da reação nos indivíduos sadios não comunicantes de hansenianos e aquele observado tanto em hansenianos tuberculóides quanto em indivíduos sadios comunicantes. A reação de Mitsuda nos adultos sadios não comunicantes de hansenianos apresenta variações de graduação histológica — Classes O (—) ± II (+) ((+) III (+ +)IV (+++) — desde ausência de reação com baciloscopia positiva (Classe O) até a formação de granuloma tuberculóide completo com baciloscopia negativa (Classe IV). Em 97% dos casos a reação foi positiva, predominando a classe III (42%), representada por granuloma tuberculóide incompleto, isto é, formado por células epitelióides e halo linfocitário, com arranjo folicular. Os achados desta pesquisa comprovam, mais uma vez, que a eficiência do resultado da reação de Mitsuda depende fundamentalmente do exame histológico, tanto que apenas em 16 casos houve igualdade de resultado entre a leitura clínica e a histológica. A discordância nos 84 casos restantes foi atribuída às alterações secundárias (necrose e supuração), associadas à reação granulomatosa do teste positivo. Esses achados demonstram também que a estrutura histológica da reação de Mitsuda segue à lei de Jadassohn-Lewandowsky e que está de acordo com o conceito  morfológico e classificação dos granulomas polares proposto por Michalany & Michalany.

Authors: Jasón Sofía , Berjano Ricardo , López Natalia
Published: December 2023

En este trabajo preliminar se busca definir mediante descriptores matemáticos las señales de microregistro cerebral, con el objetivo de encontrar parámetros específicos que permitan diferenciar al núcleo subtalámico del resto de las áreas cerebrales. El método propuesto, a partir de señales obtenidas por microregistro, serviría como soporte a la decisión médica durante cirugías funcionales de pacientes con Enfermedad de Parkinson.En esta ocasión se analizaron diez descriptores matemáticos: longitud de la señal, RMS, Varianza, media del valor absoluto (MAV), frecuencia media, frecuencia mediana, entropía, ancho de banda, cruces por cero y Amplitud de Willison, en señales provenientes de núcleo subtalámico, tálamo, sustancia negra y zona incierta de dos pacientes. Los resultados muestran una discriminación satisfactoria entre el núcleo subtalámico y otras partes de los ganglios basales, utilizando al menos un descriptor de la señal.

Climate change has become an increasingly pressing issue across the world, particularly in developing countries, and Nigeria is no exception. As climate change continues to create severe weather cycles such as floods and droughts, Nigeria has looked for ways to tackle the resulting development challenges. One option that has arisen is the utilization of climate change financing to drive economic development. This paper seeks to evaluate the efficacy of climate change financing on sustainable economic development in Nigeria. A comprehensive literature review of relevant studies was conducted to assess the efficacy of climate change financing on sustainable economic development in Nigeria. The research showed that climate change financing has many potential benefits, such as reducing poverty and inequality, promoting economic growth, and creating employment opportunities. Climate change financing also has the potential to provide communities with the resources needed to adapt to the changing climate and improve their resilience. However, the research also revealed that the efficacy of climate change financing depends on proper management, governance, and coordination. The paper further discusses policy recommendations for the effective utilization of climate change financing for sustainable economic development in Nigeria. It emphasizes the need for a greater focus on improving the management, governance, and coordination of climate change financing projects. The paper concludes by proposing further areas of research that could be explored in order to better understand the efficacy of climate change financing on sustainable economic development in Nigeria.
THE LONG PATH FORWARD FOR STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS
Authors:   Governance Study, Brown Center on Education Policy Brookings Institution, Washington D.C., Meyer Katharine
Published: December 2023

Less than a year after the Biden administration proposed forgiving up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt for most borrowers, the Supreme Court ruled the policy unconstitutional. At the core of the case was whether the HEROES Act of 2003 granted the Secretary of Education the authority to “waive or modify” federal student loan terms, up to and including forgiving those loans. The Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that broad forgiveness was beyond the scope of what Congress intended when passing the HEROES Act, further arguing in the majority decision that policies with such a large economic and political impact should be decided through Congress, and not executive action. In the wake of that decision, the Biden administration has shifted policy toward improving the borrowing process as well as the repayment process. Political attention has focused on repayment (from the Biden administration’s attempts at loan forgiveness to Republican-sponsored legislation proposing new repayment structures) but must also turn to reforming how students decide whether and how much to borrow to ensure future students do not face unmanageable student loan debt.
