Cannabis is the most widely used drug. in recent years, interest in cannabis has grown significantly. over the last decade, the number of cannabis users worldwide has increased by almost 21%, reaching approximately 219 million people in 2021. Can- nabis cultivation covers practically all regions of the world. In recent years, 151 countries have reported cannabis cultivation, both outdoors and indoors. The increased growth of the latter is particularly observed in North America and Europe. Global data shows that in 2021, 5,226 tons of marihuana and 2,014 tons of hashish were confiscated. an increase in seizures of can- nabis products is observed in Europe and Poland. Another trend concerns the increasing content of the psychoactive substance Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) in cannabis plants. According to UNODC data, over the last 25 years there has been a 4-fold increase in the content of Δ9-THc in cannabis. over the last decade, the average content of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol in marihua- na seized in europe has increased approximately twice, and in hashish three times.

The aim of this work is to assess potential changes in the content of the main psychoactive ingredients in cannabis in Poland in the last decade (2012–2022), based on expert opinions developed by the Institute of Forensic research in Kraków. The conduct- ed analyses confirmed the trends observed around the world. in the last ten years, the number of cases in which the drug-type cannabis was detected increased from 5.3% to 68.4% of total number of illicit drug cases examined for the presence of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and new psychoactive substances. an increasing trend in the content of Δ9-THC in the drug-type cannabis was also noted. over the last decade, the average total content of Δ9-THC increased almost three times and in 2022 reached 12%. This is due to the growth of cannabis cultivation in Europe, carried out using the technique known as sinsemilla, genetic modifications, as well as the appearance on the market of the feminized cannabis seeds.
A Management Model for the effective, sustainable implementation of Operational Excellence initiative at plant-level
Authors:   , Lechner Horst
Published: May 2024

The aim of this master thesis was to develop a valuable management model with which Operational Excellence- (OE) initiatives can be designed, guided and further developed. To be competitive on the packaging market many organisations are implementing OE-initiatives. Whereas most models consider only the social, economic and environmental aspect of OE. On the basis of the literature research carried out, it became clear that the focus of the traditional concepts described was purely on Content-aspects and that Process-aspects and Internal Context-aspects were completely ignored. A reference-model was developed to record, evaluate and analyse plants with regard to their OE-support in the internal Context and Process. A comparative case study-analysis was carried out at eight European plants of a beverage can packaging company. This research enabled new insights to be gained into the influence of internal Context- and Process-aspects. Based on 70 interviews with the employees of eight plants in eight different European countries, two key-factors in implementation-processes and six factors in the internal Context were identified. In the study it could be shown that despite the company-wide introduction of standardised OE-contents, the eight identified Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) had a massive influence on the actual design of the initiatives at the plant. A literature search, however, showed that existing CI-concepts usually focus on Content, while internal Context- and Process- aspects were neglected as key factors in their considerations. Based on these findings, a reference model was derived for the recording, analysis and evaluation of plants with regard to their OE-support in the internal Context and Process. It could be shown that an organisation and culture of continuous improvement usually have a considerable influence and that changes do not necessarily have to be guided by the specification of content. In addition, the case study-analysis showed that the Operations Management’s (OM) dominant understanding of the relationships between social structures, such as management approaches, practices and methods, and the individual behaviour of acting actors on the basis of a structure-behaviour-determinism is insufficient in its explanatory power.

El derecho agrario en Cuba desde una perspectiva sociocultural, las leyes de la Reforma Agraria de 1959 y 1963
Authors: De la Torre González Lianna Milagros , García González Betsy
Published: May 2024

El derecho agrario en Cuba está referido al conjunto de normas y regulaciones jurídicas en el ámbito agrícola, considerando aspectos legales, culturales, sociales y económicos que impactan en la vida de las comunidades rurales. La Reforma Agraria en Cuba, firmada en 1959 y 1963, tuvo como objetivo favorecer a los campesinos más pobres del país. Esta reforma buscaba proteger los derechos de los agricultores, campesinos y comunidades rurales, garantizando su acceso a la tierra, promoviendo la equidad en las relaciones laborales agrícolas, y regulando la tenencia de la tierra y los recursos naturales. Además, se buscaba promover el desarrollo sostenible de las zonas rurales, protegiendo el medio ambiente y fomentando prácticas agrícolas responsables. La reforma también consideró aspectos socioculturales como las tradiciones y costumbres de las comunidades rurales, reconociendo su importancia en la gestión de la tierra y los recursos naturales. Se limitó el tamaño de las propiedades y se nacionalizaron las propiedades de más de 420 hectáreas, eliminando el latifundio. La segunda Ley de Reforma Agraria de 1963 propuso la nacionalización y adjudicación al Estado de todas las fincas rústicas con una extensión superior a sesenta y siete hectáreas. Sin embargo, esta ley fue derogada e inaplicable en su totalidad por el Consejo de Ministros.

A pesquisa abrange todos os prelados que já atuaram ou ainda estão no exercício de seu ministério desde a criação da primeira diocese neste Estado (em 1908). Na primeira parte realiza-se uma revisão sistemática dos estudos existentes sobre o episcopado brasileiro e catarinense nas disciplinas da História e da Sociologia. A seguir apresenta-se uma contextualização do perfil desse episcopado nos ciclos históricos de (1) Institucionalização, (2) Modernização e (3) Re-estabilização eclesial da Igreja Católica em Santa Catarina. Na terceira parte analisam-se os dados referentes às origens sociais e às carreiras eclesiásticas dos bispos do Estado. Conclui-se que embora a elite do clero em Santa Catarina continue a ser recrutada entre os estratos mais populares da região Sul, seu perfil eclesiástico foi sendo transformado pelos ciclos históricos vividos pela Igreja Católica no Brasil.
“Dele vem minha esperança”
Authors: Grenzer Matthias , Amaral de Lima Cleodon , Barbosa Cardoso Robert
Published: May 2024

O presente estudo se propõe a traduzir e interpretar o Salmo 62, texto composto em hebraico no decorrer do primeiro milênio antes de Cristo. Em especial, procura-se por uma compreensão mais exata do que o salmista afirma no versículo 6 de sua oração poética: “Ó minha alma, acalma-te somente em relação a Deus, porque dele vem minha esperança!”. Existe, sobretudo, o interesse de descobrir a reflexão teológica que acompanha o vocábulo “esperança”, palavra-chave para a espiritualidade judaico-cristã. Afinal, todo ser humano se encontra necessitado de esperança. Isto é, ser esperançoso é algo constitutivo da existência humana. No entanto, embora a questão da esperança em si una as pessoas, as respostas não o fazem. Nesse sentido, observa-se que, comumente, se cultivam esperanças marcadas por interesses particulares e até agressões nada respeitosas à sobrevivência digna de todos. Por isso, é de suma importância estabelecer um diálogo qualificado sobre quem e/ou o que merece tornar-se alvo de esperanças a serem cultivadas pelo ser humano. O Salmo 62 traz uma, isto é, a sua proposta. Respeitando a relativa autonomia desse poema antigo, sua linguagem artística e seu contexto literário-histórico, a investigação a seguir procura, portanto, pela esperança de quem aqui reza. Aliás, justamente a oração, momento em que o ser humano se abre ao diálogo com Deus, parece ser um espaço privilegiado para, criticamente, rever o que é digno de tornar-se esperança.
Infopastoral: uma pastoral profética e missionária na era digital
Authors: Durval Gripp Souza Andréia
Published: May 2024

Este estudo aborda os desafios enfrentados pela Igreja Católica, e por todos os cristãos enquanto batizados e membros do Povo de Deus, diante da crescente influência das tecnologias de comunicação e informação na sociedade contemporânea. Diante do interesse cada vez maior na compreensão dos impactos do uso excessivo das mídias digitais no ser humano, bem como dos questionamentos sobre a adequação da ação pastoral nesse contexto vital, o artigo investiga os desafios, possibilidades e posicionamentos da Igreja na esfera digital. Uma proposta inovadora é apresentada: a Infopastoral, uma abordagem que busca responder às demandas contemporâneas de forma eficaz e relevante. Este estudo é significativo porque contribui para uma compreensão mais aprofundada do papel profético que os cristãos precisam desempenhar na sociedade contemporânea, sendo "sal e luz" no mundo, atuando como profetas e promotores de uma sociedade onde os valores do Evangelho prevaleçam sobre os interesses mercadológicos. Optou-se pela metodologia "ver, julgar e agir" pela necessidade de se produzir uma análise pastoral contextualizada. A escuta e exame dos "sinais dos tempos", conforme proposto pelo Concílio Ecumênico Vaticano II, são fundamentais para esta reflexão, destacando a necessidade de compreender a realidade histórica em que se vive como ponto de partida essencial para uma boa prática pastoral.

Interaction Between Automation and Humans in Supply Chain Planning
Authors: Shchekhovska Larysa
Published: May 2024

Automation is transforming supply chain planning (SCP) processes, replacing human tasks with technological solutions. While automation offers efficiency gains, the interaction between humans and automated systems presents behavioral challenges. This study investigates how decision-makers in SCP processes learn to correct errors when interacting with automated demand forecasting systems versus human planners. Drawing from psychology and behavioral theories, we examine the effects of interaction type (automated system vs. human) on learning, operationalized as performance improvement over time. Further, we analyze whether this relationship is moderated by cognitive psychological traits (positive attitude towards technology, technology anxiety/dependence) and socio-psychological traits (social influence based on subjective norms, social influence based on image) of the human decision-maker. Our article contributes to supply chain management research by introducing automation-human interaction, providing a temporal learning perspective on performance, and integrating cognitive and socio-psychological moderators. Insights are offered on how to facilitate effective human-automation collaboration by managing socio-psychological influences. Limitations and future research opportunities, including cultural contexts and artificial intelligence, are discussed.

Published: May 2024

Classification and features of the educational services market are of interest due to the commercialisation of education and the widespread increase in the level of requirements for staff qualification. Vocational education represents a special segment of this market. The market of professional education of aviation specialists is an important and dynamically developing segment of the educational industry that can offer promising opportunities for training and career development in aviation. According to many researchers, the special importance of this element of the educational services market structure should be based on the integration of joint efforts of corporate training centres, industry agencies and the government with the needs of customers and industry standards. Personnel training itself is a complex multi-disciplinary system. Based on the research in the field of professional education of aviation specialists, the authors define the market of civil aviation simulator complexes services, characterise the market products and identify other features of the market and propose the concept of "cluster market of aviation simulator complexes services".

Authors: Yanza Paula Agustina Vélez , Espinosa Ángel Eduardo Carrión , Colon Claudia Hernández , Ávila María José Salamea
Published: May 2024

In this study, the potential of translanguaging to revolutionize English language education is investigated. Through a systematic literature review of 15 articles, the breadth of literature on translanguaging is explored, and aspects such as research contexts, age groups, and key findings are identified, along with highlighting gaps in the current understanding. The study reveals a growing interest in translanguaging within English Language Teaching, emphasizing its flexibility in different learning environments and its impact on language learning and identity development. While the research highlights the promise of these techniques, it also identifies limitations in the existing literature, such as the lack of age information, quantitative data, and generalizability. The study concludes that translanguaging and bridging techniques hold significant potential to bridge gaps in language education, particularly in multicultural and multilingual settings. To advance knowledge, future research should address these limitations and involve students in narrative inquiries, exploring the long-term effects of these pedagogical approaches.

DESENTRAÑANDO LA VIOLENCIA: ARMAS Y HOMICIDIOS EN LA REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA 2018-2021
Authors: Castaño-Abreu Daniela
Published: May 2024

En el 2017, las Américas registró la tasa más alta de homicidios a nivel mundial, tres cuartos de estos involucraron armas de fuego. La relación entre las armas de fuego y los homicidios se mantiene bajo teorías discrepantes entre sí. La República Dominica carece de investigaciones que explique la relación entre estas variables, originando los objetivos del estudio: describir las tendencias circunstanciales y tipos de armas asociadas a los casos de homicidios en la RepúblicaDominicana del 2018-2021, así como proporcionar un perfil del porte de armas de fuego en el país en relación con los casos de homicidios. Para ello se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal con enfoque retrospectivo desde el año 2018-2021. La recolección de datos se obtuvo de fuentes secundarias gubernamentales, de acceso libre; la muestra fue la totalidad de casos de homicidios del período seleccionado. Se observó que la circunstancia más frecuente de homicidio fue la riña, siendo el arma de fuego el método más utilizado. Se identificó una correlación de 0.99 entre los homicidios por riña y homicidios por arma de fuego, y una relación proporcionalmente inversa entre la disminución de armas registradas y el incremento de homicidios más frecuentes. En conclusión, el porte de armas registradas solo aparenta ser un factor de riesgo cuando coexisten con problemáticas de convivencia. Asimismo, los resultados sugieren la necesidad de implementar programas políticos para reducir la prevalencia de armas ilegales e implementar un plan estadístico de recolección de datos en torno a esta variable.

Published: May 2024

El tema de la migración de profesionales, y migración calificada, en términos de la magnitud misma, en comparación con la migración general, puede no parecer un problema importante, sin embargo, en estos tiempos, donde las enfermedades, inestabilidad de la economía mundial y otros problemas de índole social, políticos, y ambientales, juntos, la migración profesional puede ser parte de la solución, más que parte del problema. La reeducación de profesionales migrantes implica un proceso integral que abarca la evaluación de credenciales, la formación adicional, la adaptación a nuevas regulaciones y estándares, la mejora de habilidades lingüísticas y la integración en la cultura laboral local. Es un paso crucial para permitir que los profesionales migrantes continúen sus carreras con éxito en su nuevo entorno. En este trabajo de carácter documental y exploratorio, con un enfoque cualitativo, sé plantea la reeducación como unasolución viable para algunos problemas actuales del tratamiento de la migración y específicamente, la de los profesionales que migran. Es importante destacar que cada caso es único y que hay migrantes que superan los desafíos y logran una adaptación exitosa en el país receptor. La preparación, la investigación y la búsqueda de apoyo pueden ayudar a aumentar las posibilidades de éxito en la migración profesional.

El árbol Delonix regia, es una leguminosa que se encuentra presente en varios estados de México. Su principal uso es ornamental, pero también se ha buscado el aprovechamiento de otros componentes del árbol, como sus granos, de los cuales se puede obtener un germen que es rico en nutrientes. El objetivo del trabajo fue realizar un análisis químico proximal y determinar la composición de aminoácidos esenciales del germen contenido en los granos de regia colectados en el estado de Yucatán, México. El valor de proteína cruda de la harina de germen fue mayor a 60%, lo que permite clasificarlo como un “concentrado proteico”; además, en su composición se encontraron todos los aminoácidos esenciales que requiere un individuo para un desarrollo adecuado. Es necesario hacer más estudios para determinar la calidad de la proteína, así como la presencia y concentración de factores no nutritivos; sin embrago, los resultadosobtenidos al momento perfilan a la harina de germen como una buena opción de ingrediente para la elaboración de alimentos nutritivos.

Esta investigación, de carácter cuantitativo, consideró los monitoreos del perfil térmico realizados en centros de atención al público en la República de Panamá mediante un conjunto de parámetros con el propósito de realizar distintas evaluaciones a estas exposiciones. Las condiciones ambientales de temperatura, humedad y la velocidad del aire en el lugar de trabajo, junto con el nivel de actividad física y la ropa que utilicen los trabajadores/as pueden originarsituaciones de riesgo a la salud y dar respuesta a un trastorno térmico dependiendo de su susceptibilidad; pueden presentarse rápidamente síntomas como sudoración excesiva, disminución de las capacidades físicas y mentales, golpe de calor, y/o tener desenlaces rápidos e irreversibles, aunque la mayoría de las veces las causas son fácilmente reconocibles y la posibilidad de que se produzcan daños es baja; sin embargo cuando las condiciones no sonextremas, el estrés térmico puede pasar inadvertido y producir daños a la salud a largo plazo y en el momento (ejemplo golpe de calor a exposición alta de temperatura).

El bagazo de cebada (BSG) es el principal subproducto de la industria cervecera, esta biomasa se compone principalmente de celulosa, hemicelulosa y lignina, sin embargo, generalmente es infravalorado y subutilizado. Para promover su aprovechamiento se propone la obtención de fracciones ricas en almidón (BSG-A), hemicelulosa (BSG-AX), proteína (BSG-P), lignina (BSGL) y celulosa (BSG-C) a partir de BSG mediante tratamiento alcalino. Una muestra de bagazo de cebada seco se sometió a un tratamiento térmico seguido de hidrólisis alcalina con hidróxido de sodio, luego se acidificó en diferentes etapas con diferentes ácidos para ser congeladas y liofilizadas. Las diferentes fracciones obtenidas se caracterizaron mediante análisis proximal y FT-IR. Se recuperó el 29.8% de BGS-A, el 17.6% de BSG-AX, 29.7 de BSG-P, 3.6% de BSG-L y 19.3% de BSG-C.Los FT-IR presentan los grupos de los principales componentes mayoritarios,observando grupos propios del almidón y otros azúcares en la BSG-A; grupos característicos de los arabinoxilanos ferulados en BSG-AX; los grupos amino en la BSG-P; anillos aromáticos en la fracción BSG-L y gran cantidad de C-H en la fracción BSG-C. Cada fracción posee propiedades diferentes y únicas que permite su aprovechamiento en otras industrias sobre todo la farmacéutica y la cosmética.
The Utilization of Sociometric Tests in Identifying School Integration Challenges Among Students with Immigrant Parents.
Authors: Oprea Bobocea Daniela
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate how sociometric relationships are configured within the primary and secondary school group that have immigrant parents. The analysis of the specialized literature was carried out based on clear selection criteria, both chronologically and of the variables. Statistical analyses, including correlations and frequency calculations, were conducted for the research variables. The study also clarifies certain procedural aspects in the application of sociometric tests. Our study included four school groups, two with 4th-grade students and two with pre-adolescent high school students. Parental emigration is a phenomenon that can have significant negative effects on the school integration of children who are left behind. They may experience emotional stress and anxiety that can affect their school performance. Some may also face financial difficulties, resulting in material shortages necessary to participate in school activities. The overload of tasks and household responsibilities can lead to their stigmatization in school groups. Our study examined three dimensions of school integration: partnership in work activities, participation in leisure time activities, and leadership within the group. The results of the research indicate a poor sociometric positioning for the children of emigrants, who are often rejected by the group for work activities, ignored in terms of spending free time, and overlooked for leadership roles within the group. Even if there are situations where some of them gain followers, they are also among the students rejected by the group. Most of them are ignored or rejected by the more socially prominent students in the class,
Slovakia's departure from strong labor protection of employees as a consequence of the pandemic and the transposition of european directives
Authors: Švec Marek , Mészáros Peter
Published: May 2024

This scientific paper delves into the notable shift in Slovak labor law, which has departed from its historically strong emphasis on safeguarding the rights of employees, traditionally seen as the weaker party in labor relations. Until recently, this emphasis served as a substantial barrier against the globalizing and standardizing influences of employers. The paper identifies two key factors driving recent legislative "reforms" in Slovakia's labor regulation. These changes are rooted in the transposition of European labor law directives while also embracing a more liberal political perspective regarding the nature of labor relations. This shift involves moving away from rigid employee protection and adopting the concept of "increased flexibility" in employee work as a remedy for addressing the post-Covid-19 economic challenges. The previous emphasis on employee or employee representative involvement in defining working conditions, wages, and important employer decisions regarding work organization has shifted. This shift allows employers to act unilaterally, contingent on fulfilling new information obligations towards employees.  However, the recent labor law reforms run counter to this historical legal tradition. Taking into account the wage levels in the Slovak Republic compared to the majority of other European Union member states, these reforms establish an unsettling level of labor law protection pro futuro of Slovak employees.

Published: May 2024

Twenty-first teaching skills are necessary to meet the demands of the 21st-century educational curriculum. Anchored on the framework of 21st century learning and partnership for 21st century skills, this study assessed the teachers’ practice of 21st century teaching skills among Chinese schools in Central Philippines in terms of critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity and innovation, self-direction, making global connections, making local connections, and using technology as a tool for learning relative to their age, sex, educational attainment, years of teaching, and designation. Likewise, it compared their teaching skills assessment when grouped to demographics. Using the quantitative design, the 112 stratified randomly sampled teachers responded to the standardized questionnaire. It was responded using very great to very poor extent. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and independent sample t-test. Meanwhile, the researcher adhered to the Philippine Health Research Ethics Board (PHREB). Generally, their teaching skills extent was great. Also, there was no difference in their age, sex, educational attainment, and years of teaching. However, there was a difference in designation where high school rated higher than elementary teachers. Hence, trainings are essential in continuously improving in 21st century teaching skills. Also, the results partially validated the theory. With these, further studies are recommended to validate the claims.
Corporate Governance Dynamics and Financial Performance: Analysis of Listed Commercial Banks in the Ghanaian Context"
Authors: OWUSU CALEB KWASI , Garr David Kwashie
Published: May 2024

This study aims to determine the effect of corporate governance on the financial performance of 14 listed commercial banks in Ghana. The research employs a panel data set from 2008 to 2020 to examine how board size, ownership structure, board independence, capital adequacy ratio, audit committee effectiveness, board gender diversity, and overall corporate governance score affect ROA and ROE for banks. These relationships are analyzed using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression within the framework of panel data analysis. Results indicate that ROA is positively related to board size, board independence, audit committee, and Board gender diversity. Also, ROE is positively influenced by companies’ ownership structure, capital adequacy ratio, audit committee effectiveness, and overall corporate employment governance rating. However, there is a significant negative correlation between ROE and women’s representation or board gender diversity. Also, another key finding is that both Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) are significantly affected by debt and debt-to-equity ratios. This indicates that banks borrowing more have reduced profitability, underlining the need for a well-managed capital structure and no over-reliance on loans. This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between corporate governance and performance in the banking sector of Ghana, emphasizing that high-quality governance systems can improve and enhance financial performance. The insight gained from this analysis shows that Banks should aim towards good corporate governance practices such as; maintaining proper board size, promoting greater board independence, ensuring efficient audit procedures, and encouraging more gender diversity to enhance profitability. The outcomes also emphasized a well-built base of capital and concentrated ownership, enabling better financial results.The outcomes of this research are useful to Ghanaian policymakers, regulators, and bank executives who view the need for strong corporate governance environments to buttress the stability and growth of the banking sector.
Deductive Reasoning Based on the Valid Aristotelian Syllogism AEE-2
Authors: Xiaojun Zhang Haiping Wang
Published: May 2024

This paper firstly formalizes Aristotelian syllogisms based on the tripartite structure of categorical propositions, and then uses the truth definitions of categorical propositions to prove the validity of the Aristotelian syllogism AEE-2. Then, the remaining 23 valid syllogisms are derived from the syllogism AEE-2 with the help of relevant facts, inner and outer negation definitions of quantifiers, and deductive rules. In other words, this paper reveals the reducible relationship between/among these 24 syllogisms and establishes a succinct formal reason system for Aristotelian syllogistic. The deductive reasoning not only ensures consistency in its results, but also provides a concise mathematical paradigm for other types of syllogisms.
