Authors: Abril Camino Andrés Rafael , Medina Robalino Christian David
Published: June 2024

En el presente trabajo, se realiza un análisis sísmico por desempeño de tres sistemas estructurales de pórticos en acero: especiales a momento (PEM), especiales arriostrados concéntricamente (PEAC) y arriostrados excéntricos (PAE). El objetivo es definir el sistema que brinda mejores prestaciones en cuanto a seguridad estructural, economía y daño post sismo para una tipología de edificios multifamiliares. Para la modelación se empleó un software de elementos finitos, y el diseño se lo realizó acorde con NEC SE DS 15, ASCE/SEI 7/22, AISC 341-16. Se utilizó la conexión tipo Viga de sección reducida RBS, precalificada según AISC 358-16 para la unión viga-columna del PEM. La no linealidad de los elementos se consideró mediante un modelo de plastificación concentrada en los sitios que mayor probabilidad tienen de presentar inelasticidad. Se analizó el desempeño sísmico de cada sistema estructural para un espectro de período de retorno raro (475 años) mediante análisis no lineal estático NSP, empleando la metodología de linealización equivalente de FEMA 440. Adicionalmente, se realizó un análisis económico de los elementos estructurales de cada sistema. Los resultados muestran que en el caso de PEAC, es la estructura más ligera por ende es la más económica, por otro lado, la más pesada será PEM, pero debido a la dimensión de sus secciones es el sistema estructural con mejor desempeño seguido de PEAC y PAE, los mismos que presentan un desempeño estructural similar a un costo menor.

Published: June 2024

En los últimos años, la labor periodística en el Ecuador se ha visto amenazada por una creciente polarización política; esta situación fue evidente sobre todo durante las últimas protestas sociales suscitadas en el país tanto en octubre de 2019 como en junio de 2022.
La presente investigación establece como objetivo indagar en el grado de amenaza que enfrentaron los periodistas ecuatorianos de la provincia de Imbabura durante la cobertura de la movilización social convocada por la CONAIE durante junio de 2022. La investigación utilizó una metodología cuantitativa de corte transversal y descriptiva; como técnica de investigación se aplicó una encuesta a 46 periodistas de la provincia de Imbabura de diversos medios de comunicación quienes, casi en la totalidad, realizaron la cobertura de la protesta social.
Las variables de estudio son: género, tipo de medio de comunicación, agresión durante cobertura, tipo de agresión, responsable de la agresión, percepción de riesgo de su vida por la agresión, limitación para realizar la cobertura, abandono de la cobertura por temor a agresiones, realización de cobertura luego de la agresión.
El universo investigado lo constituyen 46 periodistas de los medios de comunicación de la provincia de Imbabura, Ecuador, a quienes se aplicó una encuesta virtual de nueve preguntas. Se encontró que el 86% de los periodistas aseguran haber sido víctimas de una agresión durante la cobertura periodística de la movilización de junio de 2022 y el 52% fue víctima de agresión verbal durante su labor. Se concluye que el riesgo en el trabajo periodístico durante las movilizaciones en Imbabura fue alto pero esta problemática no se visualiza en los informes que organizaciones realizaron.

Published: June 2024

El objetivo principal de este estudio fue evaluar y fortalecer la formación de habilidades de investigación científica en estudiantes de 8vo grado en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de Ciencias Naturales en la Educación General Básica. Para alcanzar este objetivo, se empleó una metodología mixta, combinando técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas, incluyendo encuestas, entrevistas y observaciones en el aula. Los resultados mostraron que, si bien existe un interés significativo por parte de los estudiantes hacia la ciencia, se identificó una brecha en la metodología y las herramientas didácticas utilizadas para impartir habilidades investigativas. A raíz de estos hallazgos, se desarrolló una estrategia didáctica que integra la experimentación práctica, herramientas digitales y enfoques colaborativos para mejorar el aprendizaje basado en la investigación. Las conclusiones indican que la implementación de la estrategia didáctica propuesta tiene el potencial de mejorar significativamente la formación de habilidades investigativas en los estudiantes. La validación parcial de esta estrategia mostró resultados prometedores, aunque se sugiere realizar pruebas adicionales en diferentes contextos educativos para confirmar su eficacia a mayor escala.

Authors: Jing Wenying
Published: June 2024

Information technology’s continuous development and progress can bring great changes to society, which is also born in the hierarchical protection of information systems. Among them, grade protection evaluation is the key part, and methods to find useful information from its complicated evaluation data to assist decision-making have become an important content of research. Aiming at the evaluation process of data mining, this article intends to analyze the classical algorithms of association rules. The Apriori algorithm and FP-growth, two common and representative algorithms, are chosen as a comparison. Finally, it is found that the performance of the latter is better than that of the former. The rationality of association rules is proved by analysis to better assist the evaluators in the evaluation work and reduce the misjudgment of the evaluation results.

Published: June 2024

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), has become the fastest growing Vector Borne disease (VBD) in the world over the last few decades, with an increase of 30 times. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the characteristics, behavior of 3M, and climate factors with cases of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in Indonesia. This research was conducted using a literature review method. The research was conducted online by taking research objects in English and Indonesian journals that discussed cases of DHF in Indonesia. The sample used was appropriate and determined in this study totaling 45 research articles. The results showed that men were more likely to be infected with DHF because they were more active outside the home. The age prone to DHF is the age under 16 years old, or the toddler, child, and early teens. The education of the head of the family is also an important factor in efforts to control the dengue outbreak. The results of the literature review show that the characteristics have a significant relationship with dengue cases. Not all people are aware of the importance of 3M behavior, seen from the proportion of people who apply 3M less than people who apply 3M. 3M's behavior is a factor that can reduce the occurrence of dengue cases. Stakeholders or policy makers in the health sector, especially those in charge of controlling the dengue outbreak, should take the results of this study into consideration in determining regulations or policies related to dengue outbreak control.

Patient satisfaction levels are a good sign of how well a hospital provides services. The likelihood that a patient will return increases if they are satisfied with the hospital's services, which obviously benefits the facility. In this study, Royal Prima Medan outpatients' intentions to return to RSU were examined in relation to several service quality metrics. A cross-sectional design was used for this analytical survey research study. The study's population consisted of 4,011 average outpatients at the Pulmonary and Cardiac Polyclinic from July to August 2022. A sample of 98 respondents using an unintended sampling strategy was drawn from this cohort. Methods for univariate, bivariate, and multivariate data analysis were used in this study. The findings showed that the intention to return to the hospitalized patients road was influenced by the variable quality of infrastructure (sig-p = 0.004 0.05), the variable quality of human resources (sig-p = 0.025 0.05), and the variable quality of security (sig-p = 0.015 0.05), whereas the personal quality variables (sig-p = 0.054 > 0.05, gender = 0.253 > 0.05, education = 0.322 > 0.05, and occupation) were not.. According to the study's conclusions, it is thought that providing health staff training, reducing patient costs for less fortunate patients, and creating an organizational structure focused n duties and education will all enhance the hospital.

Published: June 2024

This study examined total coliform levels in rivers in Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan, and their effects on water quality and public health. Water samples were taken at eight river observation points using purposive sampling in a field survey. Analysis compared total coliform results to health criteria. To determine the link between total coliform and DO, correlation tests were performed. The overall coliform concentration exceeded the class I quality limit of 50 CFU/100 mL with 5050 to 52833,335 CFU/100 mL. Total coliform levels correlated -0.878 with DO levels, demonstrating contamination's ecological effects. High total coliform levels make river water unfit for sanitation and hygiene. Banjar Regency waterways must be cleaned to reduce bacterial contamination, protect public health, and allow safe water use. Addressing these issues will improve local prosperity and water sustainability
YÖNETİM TEKNOLOJİSİ: YÖNTEMBİLİMSEL BAKIŞ AÇILARI

Published: June 2024

Yönetimbilim kapsamında yönetim teknolojisi bilimsel araştırma konusu edilmediği gibi, kullanımı noktasında da sorunlar bulunmaktadır. Yalın anlamda yönetim teknolojisi, “yönetim olgusunun teknik bilgisi ve uygulaması hakkında” sözlemde bulunmak ve konuşma yapmak veya yönetim tekniği ve uygulama “logos”unu ifade etmektir. Ziyadesiyle, yönetimbilim üretim bilgisine ve teorisine odaklanmayı önceler. Öte yandan yönetim teknolojisi büsbütün hayatı kolaylaştırıcı araç-gereci üretme ve kullanma mantığı “lojik” olarak da tanınabilir. Ancak öz olarak yönetim teknolojisi, yönetimbilim mantığını ve tekniğini ifade eder. Temel amacı, yönetim tekniğine ve uygulamalarına dair bilgileri düzenleme, denetleme ve değerlendirme olarak nitelendirilebilir. Düzenleme betimlemeleri, tanımlamaları ve sınıflandırmaları; denetleme standartları, ilkeleri ve yönergeleri; değerlendirme araçları, gereçleri ve teknikleri esas alır. Buna bağlı yönetimbilim kapsamını ve içlemini oluşturur. O halde yönetim teknolojisi, yönetimbilimin felsefi ve bilimsel bir çalışma alanı olmayı hak etmektedir.
Yönetimbilim yazınalanında yönetim teknolojisi yönünde özel bir alan bulunmamakta ve yöntembilim çalışmalarıyla karıştırılmaktadır. Hassaten alanda yöntem, teknik, araç-gereç, uygulama vs. gibi kavramların yerli yersiz kullanılmasına ve ifade edilmesine de yol açmaktadır. Doğal olarak bu durum yönetimbiliminde uygulamayı retoriğe, pratiği teoriyi irca etme (eski halinde döndürme) tercihine itmekte, entellektüel kısırlığa sokmakta ve zihinsel çalışmalarda, retorik, felsefe ve teorilerden yadsınamaz kopuşlara yol açmaktadır.
Bu amaçla makale yönetim teknolojisinin yönetimbiliminin kopmaz bir parçası olarak, techne (teknik bilgi) ve uygulamalar hakkında yapılan sözlem (sanat bilimi) gerekleri üzerinden, yöntembilimsel bakış açılarını geliştirme ve açıklama amaçlamaktadır. Böylece yönetim teknolojisi kapsamında yapılanları anlama, söylemleri anlatma, tanıtları açıklama ve kanıtları gösterme hedeflenmektedir

Published: June 2024

The effect of the conflict in Poso on the community agricultural activity is significant. The objective of this research is to observe the community adaptive behaviour in responding to the environmental changes. The research was carried out in three villages in Poso. The data was collected through interview, and the analysis carried out through cybernatic analysis.   The research result waspresented that most of the community was pro-actively adapted, to adjusted of the plantation agriculture pattern to the basic crop agriculture. The factors that influenced the community adaption strategy were the activities in the program, education, and social status.  The adaption behaviour had also a high corelation with the level of independency, whereas the higher the level of indepedency people, the more adaptive the behaviour is. There are relation between the village durability index with the village typology, whereas a village with a typology of mountainous areas and far from urban areas, its environmental tenacity index is very good. While villages with a typology of community diversity are high, have a good social tenacity index. With regard to SDG's achievements, the empowerment program in Poso has achieved SDG'1, 5, 10 and SDG's 16.
Association between obesity and triple-negative breast cancer: a systematic qualitative review
Authors: Iervolino Luiz Lerario , Moraes Sérgio Rodrigues de , Filassi José Roberto , Baracat Edmund , Masili-Oku Sérgio
Published: June 2024

Introduction: The relation between obesity and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is not totally elucidated. TNBC represents a heterogeneous group of aggressive growth neoplasms. The concepts related to the development of hormone receptor-positive tumors cannot be directly extended to this group. To evaluate the association between obesity and TNBC, considering as primary outcome the assessment of the incidence of this tumor subtype in this population and as secondary outcomes the specific pathophysiology, prognosis, and treatment in this context. Methods: This was a systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses — PRISMA statement. PubMed/MEDLINE and Cochrane were the databases used as primary paper sources. Inclusion according to titles and abstracts allowed a secondary selection by reference list revision. The final full-text review was done on the most opportune studies identified. Results: A total of 52 articles were included. Epidemiology: A higher frequency of obesity among TNBC patients compared to other subtypes and TNBC in obese women was observed in the literature. It is uncertain whether premenopausal status is an aggravating factor. Pathophysiology: Several studies identified the production of different factors by obese adipose tissue and their regulation of genes related to the expression of stem-like cell properties, mainly leptin, IL-6, and IL-8. Prognosis: Most studies pointed out that disease-free survival and overall survival are independent of body mass index. Treatment: Weight reduction showed no significant power in improving prognosis but may favor primary incidence prevention. Drugs based on obesity-related pathways are still in research, and various potential targets were raised. Conclusions: Obesity is a risk factor for TNBC. Obese-related inflammatory cytokines may contribute to tumor development. Once TNBC is established, the prognosis does not differ according to initial body mass index changes. No target drug for obesity-related tumorigenic pathways is currently available for clinical use.

LA CROSSE VIRUS VECTOR RESTING BEHAVIORS - FIELD STUDIES WITH PROKOPAK AND RESTING SHELTER COLLECTIONS PROVIDE LOW YIELD
Authors: Nordgulen Mary , Lewandowski Kaylin , Burkett-Cadena Nathan , Mathias Derrick , Byrd Brian D.
Published: June 2024

Resting adult mosquito collections provide opportunities to sample broad physiological conditions (e.g., blood-engorged, gravid, nectar-engorged, and/or parous) that yield important biological information necessary to understand vector and pathogen transmission ecology. In this study, we evaluated Prokopak aspirations of Rhododendron spp. and human-powered pop-up resting shelter collections at 4 residences with historical evidence of proximal La Crosse virus (LACV) transmission from May through September 2022. The goal of this study was to investigate these sampling methods in the context of LACV vector biology–focused principally on Aedes triseriatus (primary LACV vector) and 2 invasive species (Ae. albopictus and Ae. japonicus) that likely serve as secondary LACV vectors. Overall, 304 resting shelters and 80 Prokopak collections yielded a grand total of 33 mosquitoes, of which a third were LACV vectors (Ae. triseriatus [n = 1, 3.0%], Ae. albopictus [n = 4, 12.1%], and Ae. japonicus [n = 6, 18.2%]). Anopheles punctipennis (n = 9, 27.2%) was the most frequently collected species followed by Culex erraticus (n = 7, 21.2%), whereas the least frequently collected species were Ae. triseriatus and Cx. pipiens (n = 1, 3.0%). Despite substantial collection efforts, and concurrent gravid-trap evidence of LACV vectors at the collection sites, Prokopak aspiration of Rhododendron spp. and human-powered pop-up resting shelters did not yield a meaningful number of LACV vectors and thus, as described within, may not be useful adjuncts for the evaluation of LACV ecology and disease risk. Additional approaches to evaluate the resting behavior of these vectors in LACV endemic areas are needed.

Introduction. The assessment of the importance of individual areas for the conservation of European biodiversity relies on various criteria, one of which is the presence of threatened species of European significance. Recent botanical surveys have confirmed the proliferation of rare plants within the Divychky Emerald Network Area. Our research aims to conduct a phytosociological analysis and assess the ecological conditions of habitats hosting rare species in the Divychky Emerald Network Area (DENA) under protection at both national and international levels. Materials and Methods. We conducted a survey of the area and compiled lists of species, identifying those that are rare and protected at the European level. We visually assessed the vitality of populations and utilized synphytoindication method to characte­rize ecological aspects of habitats. Results. We compiled a list of species found within the Divychky Emerald network area, which includes those listed in both the European Red List and the Red Data Book of Ukraine. Phytoindicative assessment helped determine the range of individual environmental factors affecting these species. Discussion. The Divychky Emerald Network Area is home to endangered species of significant importance within Europe. In particular, there are habitats of nine species under protection of the Bern Convention, and two species included in the European Red List. We have compiled a list of species with protected status and assigned them to six vegetation classes in the plant community. The largest number of plants have been assigned to three vegetation classes. Our studies demonstrate how the types of reproduction affect the distribution and number of species – species with vegetative reproduction had the largest populations. The most vulnerable species populations were described, and information on the distribution and habitat of these species was provided. Conclusion. We have gathered new chorological and phytocoenotic data concerning the growth of protected plant species within the studied area of the Divychky Emerald Network Area. Species protected at the European level, along with their populations facing varying levels of extinction threat, have been identified and thoroughly studied.

Background. Natural clinoptilolite (CL) meets most of the requirements for the multifunctional mineral nanomaterials. It is considered biologically neutral and non-toxic. CL is the only representative of natural zeolites that has been approved for use in medical practice and food industry. Antibacterial activity of Transcarpathian clinoptilolite was shown to be enhanced via its modification using thermal, chemical and mechanochemical treatments. The natural form of this mineral contains a significant concentration of surface silanol (-OH) groups. An increase in the efficiency of zeolite-based materials in terms of biological activity can be achieved by means of thermal and chemical treatments, replacement of cations in the exchange complex, doping with heavy metal cations, or mechanochemical treatment. Materials and Methods. FTIR spectroscopy, Electronic spectroscopy, Particle size distribution, IR spectroscopy, Crystal structure and morphology, Measurement of antibacterial activity. Results. Intact and thermally modified CL was shown to exhibit weak antibacterial effect, while its mechanical modification led to an enhanced activity. It was established that H-form of clinoptilolite demonstrated higher efficiency in inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, compared to the Na-form of the clinoptilolite, but their effect on growth of Gram-negative bacteria was insignificant. Such an activity was accompanied by an increase in the specific surface area and porosity that promoted better contact with bacteria. Conclusions: Different samples of CL had dissimilar effect on specific types of bacteria. Intact CL has a weak antibacterial activity of inhibiting growth of microorganisms, while thermal, chemical, and mechanical modifications of the CL structure differentially increased such an activity. The H-form of CL inhibited the growth of Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis) more effectively compared to the Na-form of CL. However, H-form of CL has a weak effect on growth of the Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens).

Ruang publik adalah bagian dari pada fasilitas masyarakat yang bisa dinikmati bebas dan terarah. Seiring berjalannya waktu ada pergeseran makna dari ruang publik tersebut, yang semula dianggap bisa digunakan masyarakat secara bebas, ternyata memiliki keterbatasan akses. Berbanding lurus dengan perkembangan kebutuhan akan lahan parkir yang terjadi di area urban atau perkotaan. Sehingga mengakibatkan ada perebutan ruang publik untuk kebutuhan lahan parkir tersebut yang terjadi, hingga menimbulkan sebuah komoditas di tengah-tengah masyarakat perkotaan. Liberalisme menganalisis fenomena seperti ini menggunakan dua sudut pandang yaitu invisible hand dan division of labour untuk melihat sejauh mana perebutan ruang publik untuk lahan parkir yang terjadi di salah satu lahan parkir diYogyakarta dapat menjadi kritik bahwa yang dari awalnya disebut ruang publik, akhirnya akan berakhir menjadi ruang privat. Perubahan tersebut dikritik oleh teori Liberalisme dengan pengadaan teori komersil hingga menjadi sebuah komoditas bagi masyarakat sekitarnya.

With the increasing amount of online shopping, companies can collect more customer data. Companies use this data to get to know their customers better and provide customized services. Churn analysis is one of the most essential analyses derived from the vast amount of data collected, which provides information about when a customer will stop shopping with the company. In this study, we perform a churn analysis using machine learning (ML) algorithms to analyse the customer behavior data of a fashion retail company. To perform churn analysis, we performed a four-stage methodology. First, we carried out data preparation and visualization studies, and then we created models using various ML algorithms. After examining the baseline data, we added the RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) score to the data with the data enrichment technique and performed the analysis again. We used the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) to eliminate the data irregularity and performed parameter optimization on the algorithms in SMOTE data. We compared the accuracy and F1 score values obtained after this four-stage process and examined the effect of the algorithms. In the last stage, we divided whole data into clusters using the k-means technique and applied ML algorithms to clustered data. Then, we compared all these results and examined the effect of segmentation on the results. The analysis shows that the extreme gradient boosting algorithm provides better accuracy and F1 score values. Using these results, the company can identify customers likely to churn and begin funding Customer Relationship Management (CRM) efforts. Additionally, experts can determine the company's development directions by organizing campaigns for these customers and analysing their reasons for churn in more detail.

The efficient navigation of ambulances in complex traffic conditions is a critical aspect of emergency medical services. This paper explores the integration of context learning and the Hough Line technique in developing advanced lane detection systems specifically tailored for ambulances. The primary objective is to enhance the safety and reduce the response time of ambulances, thereby significantly impacting patient outcomes. We begin by highlighting the unique challenges ambulances face in urban environments and the limitations of existing navigation technologies. The focus then shifts to the concept of context learning, which enables ambulances to interpret and adapt to dynamic traffic scenarios in real time. This is complemented by a detailed examination of the Hough Line technique, renowned for its effectiveness in detecting and tracking lane markings under various environmental conditions. The synergy of these technologies promises to offer a more reliable and responsive navigation system for ambulances. We further discuss the implementation strategies, including integration with other vehicular systems and real-world traffic data. Pilot studies and simulations are presented to demonstrate the practicality and benefits of this approach.

This study examines the Sufi thematic interpretation of Surat Al-Ikhlas as a map of the soul's journey in seeking closeness to God. Surah Al-Ikhlas, which consists of four verses, essentially affirms the oneness of Allah and is at the core of the Islamic creed. Through a Sufistic approach, the study highlights the esoteric dimension and inner meaning contained in Surat Al-Ikhlas. The Sufis viewed this letter not only as a declaration of faith, but also as a deep spiritual guide in drawing closer to God. This study uses thematic analysis methods by collecting interpretations from various Sufi figures, such as Al-Ghazali, Ibn Arabi, and Rumi, to understand how this surah is translated in the context of mystical journeys. The results showed that Surat Al-Ikhlas contains deep messages that encourage a more personal and transformative appreciation of monotheism. The Sufi interpretation of this surah opens up insights into the process of cleansing the heart, the union of the soul with the Divine, and the attainment of ma'rifah (direct knowledge of God). Thus, the study makes an important contribution in understanding the role of Surat Al-Ikhlas in Sufi spiritual practice and its relevance in contemporary spiritual life.

The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study represents a pioneering initiative aimed at unraveling the complexities of behavioral and neural development in youth. In this paper, we address the multifaceted challenges inherent in extracting meaningful insights from the extensive data compiled by the ABCD initiative. Our focus is on advocating for the adoption of best practices in reproducible research methodologies and result reporting. Central to this discourse is a meticulous examination of effect sizes within the expansive ABCD dataset. We describe the hurdles associated with the transition from conventional small-sample studies to the unprecedented opportunities, alongside concomitant dilemmas, presented by large-sample research endeavors. To assess the true impact and relevance of findings from the ABCD study, we call on researchers to move beyond a primary focus on statistical significance, and to instead prioritize the more compelling domains of practical and clinical significance. Additionally we provide guidance on how to contextualize, visualize, and scrutinize ABCD results to distinguish meaningful findings from trivial (albeit reliable) effects. In turn, probing findings in this manner yields a broader, richer, and more compelling portrait of the "significance" of observed connections and contributes substantively to the refinement of research practices within the domain of adolescent brain and cognitive development.
Does impartial altruism incur costs in close relationships?
Authors: Amormino Paige , Kagel Adam C. , Li Joanna , Marsh Abigail
Published: June 2024

Impartial altruism is often considered a moral ideal but is rare in practice. Instead, generosity typically decreases as social distance increases, a phenomenon termed social discounting. Most people prefer this partiality in their close relationships and view impartial altruists as poorer relationship partners. This suggests real-world impartial altruism may be rare because it reduces—or is perceived to reduce—the quality of close relationships. To investigate this, we compared patterns of generosity and social relationship quality in a rare sample of individuals who had engaged in extraordinary real-world impartial altruism (altruistic kidney donors; n=59) and their closest friend or family member (n=59) to demographically similar controls (n=71) and their closest others (n=71). We designed a novel direct test of third-party social discounting, which experimentally confirmed real-world altruists’ impartiality, finding that they are more likely than controls to split resources evenly between close and distant others rather than favoring close others. However, we found no relationship between impartial altruism and socialrelationship quality. Instead, we found that altruists’ close others also show more impartiality than controls. This suggests value homophily (shared moral values) among altruists, which may represent a protective factor for close relationships in the context of impartial altruism.
