Este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la gestión ecoeficiente de los residuos sólidos reciclables para promover la sostenibilidad ambiental en la zona norte de la provincia de Los Ríos, Ecuador. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una caracterización de los residuos plásticos generados en 16 hogares durante un período de 7 días. Además, se exploraron diversas alternativas de manejo, identificadas como fundamentales para mitigar los impactos negativos y promover el incremento de la tasa de reciclaje de residuos plásticos. Los resultados indicaron que la generación de residuos plásticos por vivienda asciende a 0.499 kg/hab/día. Dentro de los residuos analizados, el polietileno tereftalato (PET) fue el componente predominante, representando el 30.6% del total. Entre las alternativas de gestión propuestas se destacaron la reutilización de plásticos como material de refuerzo en la construcción de aceras y la producción de fibra textil a partir del reciclaje de PET. En conclusión, la implementación de proyectos sostenibles basados en el reciclaje de residuos plásticos no solo contribuye a mitigar los efectos adversos del plástico en el medio ambiente, sino que también promueve el desarrollo de una cultura ambiental que trasciende los hogares y permea todas las áreas de la vida cotidiana.
The causes of the crises of the model and purpose of Brazilian public and private universities: The causes are political, economic, internal and external ideological and cyclical!?
Authors: Da Silva José Félix Estanislau
Published: July 2024

In recent years, it has been a matter of controversy and scientific conversation to argue about the crisis that affects the Model and the purpose of Brazilian public and private universities. In this sense, through a historical summary, the main objective of this scientific study is to demonstrate by induction the causes of the crises of Brazilian public and private universities from the past to approximately the present. These crises have taken on a cyclical behavior and have a revival in the last two decades, which affects the present. The causes of these crises are based on internal and external political, economic, ideological factors, which affect public education for the construction and development of Brazilian civilization. To reveal this result, this work is developed using the same methodology and foundation that were used in the recent and interesting article named: The university that there was, that there is and the one that may exist in the future university education in Brazil [Estanislau da Silva, 2023, 1]. In this way, strong historical, principled, pragmatic, logical arguments and a vast literature are used to better induce the demonstration of the causes of university crises, which are common to all crisis cycles. Consequently, due to the way in which the answer to the problem exposed here was approached, the methodology motivated us to divide this article into historical temporal periods, in order to better expose a didactic with the purpose of ensuring the obtaining of the causes, their interactions and understanding. In this direction, the reading is current continuously and, therefore, in many cases, dispensing with comments for each next section.

Gosposki razbojnik Franc Jožef Vodnik (1691–1716) iz Krškega ter njegove domače in mednarodne kriminalne zveze
Authors: Golec Boris
Published: July 2024

In 1716, Franc Jožef Vodnik, a burgher son from Krško and a travelling student, who was tried for banditry before the blood court at Šrajbarski Turn Castle near Krško together with his servant, gave descriptions of forty-three other, mostly young criminals with whom he had come into contact mainly in Vienna but also in Lower and Upper Austria. A quarter of them were students (eleven), including three who returned to the right path and became priests. A good quarter of the young men (twelve), including half of the travelling students (six), came from Slovenian territory (one from Styria and the rest from Carniola). Vodnik died of gangrene as a result of an attempted escape by jumping, and three of his accomplices from Carniola were sentenced to death the following year and executed in a group of ten criminals in the Lower Austrian town of Krems an der Donau.
The Great Kanto Earthquake in Japanese Colonial Era’s Colonial Joseon Media Reflect the Massacre of Koreans
Authors: Sung Joo-Hyun ,   yugwansun Research Center
Published: July 2024

This paper analyzed the trends and perceptions of the colonial Joseon media about the 'Korean genocide' that occurred during the Great Kanto Earthquake (Great Kanto Earthquake) in Japan on September 1, 1923.
After the Kanto Great Earthquake, rumors such as Koreans rioting, poisoning wells, and rape were rampant, and more than 6,000 people were slaughtered. At the time of the Kanto Great Earthquake, the massacre of Koreans was ‘forbidden’ in colonial Joseon. Koreans who witnessed the massacre of Koreans in the Kanto Great Earthquake felt terrible, but after returning, they were subject to the colonial rule's surveillance. Therefore, the massacre of Koreans in the Kanto Great Earthquake was thoroughly controlled. However, at the end of September, the expression “the massacre of Koreans” was carefully reported along with reports of the massacre of the vigilante group and related to the trial, and it was covered more widely in articles such as related gossip articles and editorials. The analysis is as follows.
First, reports related to the massacre of Koreans after the Kanto Great Earthquake were carefully reported with nuances that could recognize them rather than direct expressions. However, the media reported enough that readers who read reports related to the massacre could recognize this.
Second, reports of trials related to the Korean genocide have been reported since October. This was published with a premise or partial report on a local Japanese article. The trial report began with the handling of Captain Amakas’ case of the Osgi massacre, but gradually, reports related to the Korean genocide expanded.
Third, the fact-finding of the Korean genocide reported on activities in foreign countries such as Japan and the United States rather than colonial Joseon. Such reports on the fact-finding of the Korean genocide can be said to be close to the situation in which it is not possible to conduct systematic activities for fact-finding in colonial Joseon.

Authors: Diah Mohamad Nur , Dhema Magdalena , Ete Agustinus Angelaus
Published: July 2024

This study analyzes students' mistakes in doing math problems on function limit material. This research was conducted at SMK Santo Thomas Maumere in semester 2 of the 2021/2022 academic year. This type of research is qualitative research. The subjects of the study were 3 students drawn from 26 students of class XII Nursing Assistants. The results of this study show that the types of mistakes made by students are fact, conceptual, principle, and procedural errors based on the classification of fundamental errors of mathematical objects. The factual error made by students is that students are mistaken in writing down the left limit and proper limit symbols. The misconception is that students do not understand the rules of the limit of a function. The principal error made by students is mistaken in describing a process. Finally, the procedural mistake made by the student is a mistake in writing. The factors that cause students to make mistakes in solving the function limit problem are that students do not know the left limit and proper limit symbols, students do not understand the concept of function limits, and prerequisite knowledge related to function limits owned by students is still minimal, students are not careful in solving function limit questions, and students still feel embarrassed if they ask teachers or colleagues regarding limit material that has not been understood

Authors: Yadaw Dr. Praveen Kumar , Umar Mubarak Musa
Published: July 2024

India possesses vast potential for generating clean energy from Renewable Energy Sources (RES), specifically hydro, wind, and solar. This potential has been appropriately recognized, indicating India's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint as a developing nation. The significance of this endeavor is becoming increasingly evident worldwide. The objectives of this review study are to provide an overview of the abundant solar energy resources in India, including availability, current status, strategies, perspectives, challenges, achievements, and future prospects. The review study examines the Government of India's Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM), launched in 2009 to promote clean energy. This mission, initiated on January 11, 2010, is one of the eight missions under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC–2008). The JNNSM aims to deploy 22,000 MW of solar power through grid-connected and off-grid solar power plants. The review results show that as of August 2023, India has achieved a cumulative installed solar power capacity of 63,000 MW, exceeding the initial target of 22,000 MW set under the JNNSM. The country has seen a significant increase in solar energy deployment, with an average annual growth rate of 18% over the past five years. India's solar energy potential is estimated to be around 750 GW, indicating vast untapped resources. The review study recommends that India should continue to strengthen its policy and regulatory frameworks, incentivize private sector participation, and invest in research and development to further harness its solar energy potential. Addressing challenges related to grid integration, storage, and financing will be crucial for the sustainable growth of the solar energy sector in India.

East and West in opera narratives of the 20th century: from collisions to mirror images
Authors: Medvedeva Yulia ,   M. I. Glinka Nizhny Novgorod State Conservatory
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the evolution of the perception and implementation of the culture of the Far East in the narratives of Western operas of the twentieth century. As material, the author turns to "Madama Butterfly" and "Turandot" by Giacomo Puccini, "Curlew River" by Benjamin Britten, "A Night at the Chinese Opera" by Judith Weir. A holistic view of the evolution of the perception and interpretation of the East in the opera of the twentieth century has not yet been undertaken. Operas by Puccini and Britten were not considered from the perspective of the specifics of narrative, Weir’s "A Night at the Chinese Opera" is practically unexplored. The article traces the path of transformation of the perception of China and Japan in European opera narratives of the twentieth century from the confrontation of worlds to their interpenetration and awareness of deep identity. There are two main stages in the evolution of the oriental theme in the twentieth century, the line between which was drawn by the events of the Second World War. In the operatic narratives of the first stage, there is a connection with the romantic tradition of personifying the West and the East as masculine and feminine principles with the invariable victory of the West. The opera narratives of the second, pivotal stage demonstrate the disappearance of the conflict between East and West. As tools for the dialogue of cultures, the author notes Britten’s and Weirs’ reflection of plots from one culture in the narrative of another, as well as the comparison of theatrical systems: European and Far Eastern.

The article analyzes modern directorial approaches to classical opera based on new productions in Moscow’s musical theaters. The author provides an analytical overview of the theatrical season 2022/2023, including the performances of "Stiffelio" by G. Verdi, "Iolanta" by P. I. Tchaikovsky, and "The Dwarf" by K. von Zemlinsky at the New Opera Theater; "La Bohème" by G. Puccini, "The Medium" by G. C. Menotti, and "Cavalleria Rusticana" by P. Mascagni at the Helikon Opera; and "Norma" by V. Bellini at Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Academic Music Theater. Opera directors, now predominantly coming from both musical and drama theater backgrounds, apply various approaches — from realistic to conditional — in their new productions, viewing them as a field for philosophical reflection. Against the backdrop of tragic events in the world, the themes raised in the directorial interpretations of well-known classical works, such as the problems of choice, insight, true love, life and death, resonate particularly strongly.

Published: July 2024

The focus of the research is the creative collaboration between composer Kaija Saariaho and her regular partners, playwright Amin Maalouf and director Peter Sellars, vividly embodied in the field of musical theater. The subject of the study is three operas by Saariaho, created in different years; the compositions carry a certain artistic image, characterizing the joint work of the three masters. The three operas are united by such a specific factor as the combination of a special psychological depth in the development of the plot with some elements of unreality. In each of the operas, this factor is manifested in its own way. When analyzing various aspects of the works, the article focuses on the degree and nature of the contribution of the composer, librettist, and director in their embodiment. In the conclusion, conclusions are drawn regarding the properties that allowed the creative team to achieve such successful and harmonious collaboration. This article is the first to explore Saariaho’s operas from such a perspective.

Authors: Shavyrina Elizaveta ,   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music
Published: July 2024

The article examines the influence of the ideas of Pan-Slavism on the culture of Czechia at the end of the XIX century. For the first time, Czech pan-Slavism is consistently chronologically examined (from the 1860s to the 1890s) from three perspectives: its manifestations in a political way, in the cultural dialogue between the Czech Republic and Russia and in the life and work of Dvorak. The article focuses on the interaction between cultural and political life in Prague, revealing the debate between two political parties ("Young Czechs" and "Old Czechs") and controversies in the Czech press that divided the musical world between supporters of Smetana and Dvorak. The study places significant emphasis on Dvorak’s work in a broad context related to pan-Slavism in the context of Pan-Slavism in the spheres of political, social, and cultural life, including literature and music criticism.
"Metamorphoses" by R. Strauss: the specifics of musical narrative
Authors: Moskvina Olga ,   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music
Published: July 2024

The article explores the principles of narrative thinking in R. Strauss’s "Meta­morphoses" — a composition for twenty-three string instruments. The main focus is on the examination of the author’s method of working with thematic material, formed by Strauss in previous symphonic compositions, as well as the study of intonation dramaturgy. Intonational connections between Strauss’s musical writing and Beethoven’s compositions, in particular the funeral march from the Third Symphony, are identified. The idea of metamorphoses is traced through the development and transformation of the intonation-harmonic core of the composition. A narrative theory approach allows for the analysis of the sequence of musical events in a composition dedicated to the departure of the late romantic era.
"Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" and Symphony No. 3 by S. V. Rachmaninoff: a dialogue of concepts
Authors: Vasiliev Yuri ,   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music
Published: July 2024

Two bright and large-scale works by S. V. Rachmaninov of the foreign period, "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" and Symphony No. 3, are considered as "interlocutor works": the works are close in time of creation (1934 and 1936), written in the general key of a-moll, each has a theme in its musical material-the Dies irae symbol. Comparisons are carried out in several directions: the musical language of the works is investigated (the origins, the role of quotations and stylizations), the specifics of the position of the author-composer in Rhapsody and Symphony (as one of the “characters” of these works), as well as the features of the concepts and musical-dramatic principles of their embodiment are comprehended. The study of "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" and Symphony No. 3 as participants in a kind of "dialogue" has not yet been conducted. The conclusions obtained regarding the common and distinct elements of the concepts of the two works are related to the possible evolution in the mid-1930s of Rachmaninov’s attitude to the prospects for the survival of Russia and its.

Authors: Pham Duc Tiep ,   Institute of Techniques for Special Engineering, Le Quy Don Technical University, Hanoi, Vietnam
Published: July 2024

Gravity revetment solutions are a popular choice for shore protection at atolls under the harsh conditions of ocean waves. The precast revetment option is preferred to reduce shipping costs for materials and ensure quick construction. This article studied precast concrete revetments with ALB composite material reinforcement and conducted experimental research to determine the shear resistance characteristics of coral sand and the friction characteristics of concrete materials with coral sand. Based on the experimental parameters, the authors calculated the stability of the ALB embankment structure against the effects of wave loads during storms. With experimental data obtained from coral sand samples prepared with equivalent density in the field, the results showed that the stability coefficient of the revetment is significantly higher than the one obtained from the traditional calculation concept.
DEVELOPING THE COMBINED KALMAN-EMD ALGORITHM TO PROCESS BLASTING SHOCKWAVE SIGNALS PROPAGATING IN A WATER MEDIUM
Authors: Vu Tung Lam ,   Institute of Techniques for Special Engineering, Le Quy Don Technical University, Hanoi, Vietnam
Published: July 2024

In experiments deploying underwater blast sensors, measured data is always disturbed, expressed as analog peaks in the obtained signal form. Except for pressure peak pmax, other parameters of an underwater explosion such as positive impulse I+, positive phase duration τ+, negative impulse I- and negative phase duration τ- are difficult or almost impossible to extract from this signal type. This article studies developing an algorithm called Kalman-EMD with the combination of Kalman filter and empirical mode decomposition for processing this signal type. The algorithm is applied in 6 data sets measuring the shockwave pressure of underwater explosions by PCB W138A05 sensors with the same condition that 184 grams of A-IX-2 explosive is detonated underwater. The results show that noise in signals is significantly eliminated. For the blasting parameters of processed signals, which can be compared with theory such as I+ and τ+, although it witnesses a small trade-off when errors of I+ enhance from about 3% to 6%, errors of τ+ are significantly decreased from about over 30% to only about 3%. Especially other pieces of information such as I- and τ- can be extracted from the processed signal so this trade-off can be acceptable. Hence, this algorithm can be applied to denoise and extract parameters from shockwave pressure signals of underwater explosions.

Constructions are usually made of materials like reinforced concrete and steel. In hot weather conditions, the reflected thermal radiance in the daytime and the emitted thermal radiance of human activities inside the structure are significantly higher than in the background. Thanks to the temperature difference between them, thermal imaging systems can easily detect or recognize the target. In order to reduce the thermal contrast, it is vital to research and apply the specific coating that can be used to cover the construction and the outside door. On the other hand, there is yet to be a method to evaluate the effectiveness of thermal reflective coating for constructions and mobile targets in Vietnam. Hence, the article has focused on performing the experimental measurement of the thermal difference between two coating materials. The result will also be applied to evaluate and select the effective thermal paint for the protected system.

Classification of Skin Diseases using Decision Tree Algorithm on an Imbalanced Dataset
Authors: Rismayanti Nurul , Azzahrah Sitti Fatimah
Published: July 2024

Skin infections caused by pathogens such as bacteria and fungi are common and can lead to serious health complications if not properly managed. Accurate classification of these infections is crucial for effective treatment and management. This study focuses on classifying two skin diseases, Chickenpox and Shingles, using a Decision Tree algorithm applied to an imbalanced dataset sourced from Kaggle. The dataset, which is imbalanced by nature, was split into training (80%) and testing (20%) subsets. Pre-processing involved segmentation using Thresholding to isolate regions of interest and feature extraction using Hu Moments to capture shape characteristics of the lesions. The dataset was scaled to ensure that all features had a mean of 0 and variance of 1. The classifier's performance was evaluated using 5-fold cross-validation, yielding a mean accuracy of 66.06%, with precision, recall, and F1-scores indicating moderate performance. The study highlights the challenges posed by imbalanced datasets and the limitations of the Decision Tree algorithm in this context. The results underscore the importance of proper pre-processing and feature extraction but also suggest the need for more advanced classification techniques and data balancing methods. This research contributes to the field by providing a detailed methodology and comprehensive evaluation metrics, offering insights into the application of machine learning for medical image classification. Future work should focus on improving classifier performance through data augmentation, advanced feature extraction, and exploring other machine learning models better suited for imbalanced datasets.

Published: July 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic was a global disaster that affected the food security status of the world. This article examined food price changes and consumption adaptation models in Enugu State, Nigeria, to ascertain people’s consumption patterns and the usefulness of palliative measures given to them. Primary data was generated through a survey of eighty respondents. The secondary data was compiled from monthly reports of food prices by the National Bureau of Statistics and was analysed using descriptive statistics, the Consumer Price Index and chi-square tests. The price indices of food items like white garri and sweet potatoes showed very high inflation during the pandemic period. The number of households who ate only once a day increased, and those who ate three times a day decreased. The chi-square result on differences in eating habits and meal regimen before and during Covid-19 is significant. Many of the respondents received palliative aid during the pandemic. The article recommends that the government should encourage farmers to increase their production by providing them with loans and subsidies so that they may produce enough food in times of emergency like the pandemic.

Published: July 2024

The aim of the Act on the Standardisation of Foundation Law was to reform civil foundation law comprehensively and uniformly throughout Germany and to put an end to the legal fragmentation at state level. Most of the new regulations entered into force on 1 July 2023. Against this background, the author examines the extent to which the reform lives up to its own claims and can lead to a positive development of the foundation landscape in Germany. In addition, individual aspects of the reform, such as the provisions on amendments to the articles of association and on foundation assets, are examined in more detail and advice is given for practical application.
