Perception of the professional self-image by Polish nurses and midwives. Cross-cultural adaptation and assessment of psychometric properties of the Belimage questionnaire
Authors: Stadnicka Sabina Katarzyna , Zarzycka Danuta
Published: July 2023

Objective: The aim of this paper is to present results of studies on the perception of the professional self-image by Polish nurses and midwives.
Methods: The studies were conducted between January and November 2018. The study group comprised 670 nurses and midwives in clinical practice. The participation in the study was anonymous and voluntary. The respondents were employees of specialist teaching hospitals. The method of a diagnostic survey with the use of the Belimage questionnaire was used.
Results: In the study group of nurses and midwives, the real image is expressed in the skills of creative and critical thinking and acting (p=0.000). In order to achieve an ideal image, the respondents focus on instrumental skills, documentation and organisation of care (p=0.000). According to the study nurses and midwives, the society considers the job of a nurse/midwife to be a vocation - 277 (41.3%). As to self-image, most nurses and midwives consider their work to be hard – 442 (66%) and poorly paid – 445 (66.4%).
Conclusions: The real image of the profession focuses on creative and critical thinking, in contrast to an ideal image focusing on instrumental skills and organisation of care. Differences in the level of nurse and midwife professionalism originate from the context of the job performed and the place of work. In the validation process, the reliability of the Belimage questionnaire expressed as Cronbach’s alpha was between 0.845 and 0.730.

Published: July 2023

Background: Demands on health systems due to COVID-19 are substantial, but drivers of healthcare utilization are not well defined in non-severe SARS-CoV-2 infections. Among a prospective cohort of frontline workers from July 2020 to February 2023, we assessed predictors of healthcare utilization during SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Methods: Weekly specimens tested via real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis. Participants reported sociodemographic, health status information, and illness experience information. Primary outcome was healthcare utilization during SARS-CoV-2 infection. Predictors included sociodemographic characteristics, baseline health status, and measures of illness severity. Multivariable logistic regression was utilized to generate odds ratios for predictors of healthcare utilization.
Results: 1,923 SARS-CoV-2 infections (1,276 first infections and 647 reinfections from 4,208 participants): 1221 (63.5%) individuals were between 40-65 years old; 1115 (58.0%) were female; 449 (23.3%) were Hispanic and 1305 (67.9%) non-Hispanic White. 294 (15.3%) individuals sought medical care during first infection, 106 (5.5%) during reinfection.
Sociodemographic and baseline health characteristics were not associated with healthcare utilization during infections from any variant for first infections, while age (OR 1.04, 95%CI 1.01-1.07) was during Omicron reinfection. In first infection, number of symptoms (OR 1.16, 95%CI 1.00-1.36 in Wuhan/Alpha, OR 1.12, 95%CI 1.00-1.49 in Delta, OR 1.09, 95%CI 1.01-1.16 in Omicron), number of days spent in bed (OR 1.13, 95%CI 1.02-1.33 in Wuhan/Alpha, OR 1.23, 95%CI 1.00-1.59 in Delta, OR 1.12, 95%CI 1.03-1.22 in Omicron), and illness duration (OR 1.01, 95%CI 1.00-1.04 in Wuhan/Alpha, OR 1.01, 95%CI 1.00-1.03 in Delta, OR 1.01, 95%CI 1.00-1.02 in Omicron) were related to healthcare utilization for all variants. Number of days in bed (OR 1.12, 95%CI 1.01-1.27), illness duration (OR 1.01, 95%CI 1.00-1.02), and hours of work missed (OR 2.24, 95%CI 1.11-4.74) were positively associated with healthcare utilization during Omicron reinfection.
Conclusion: The main factors associated with healthcare utilization for SARS-CoV-2 infection were symptom severity and duration. Practices and therapeutics aimed at decreasing these factors would be most helpful in easing the burden on health systems.

Published: July 2023

Background: Eating behavior is an essential aspect of life that can have long-term effects on health outcomes. Among the various factors influencing eating behaviors, nutritional literacy has recently been considered a key factor in improving quality, health, and well-being.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the relationship between nutritional literacy and eating behavior among nursing students at the nursing faculties of Ardabil University of medical sciences.
Methods: In this cross-sectional correlational study, 224 students were selected using simple random sampling. The nutritional literacy self-assessment questionnaire for students (NL-SF12) was used to measure nutritional literacy, the adult eating behavior questionnaire (AEBQ) was used to measure eating behaviors, and a demographic characteristics form was used to evaluate demographic characteristics. SPSS Statistics 14 software package was used for statistical analysis.
Results: Participants' scores in nutritional literacy performance ranged from 3.28 to 3.46. Among the dimensions of nutritional literacy, the highest score was related to knowledge and interactive skills, while the lowest score was related to applying skills and obtaining skills dimensions. Participants' scores in eating behavior performance ranged from 3.12 to 3.23. Among the dimensions of the "food approach" scale, the highest score was related to enjoyment food dimension, while the lowest score was related to emotional over-eating dimension (EOE). Among the dimensions of the "food avoidance" scale, the highest score was related to food fussiness (FF) dimension, while the lowest score was related to slowness in eating dimension (SE). Based on the results, nutritional literacy explains 44% of variance in eating behavior and shows significant explanatory power in two sub-scales of eating behavior. The adjusted R2 values for food approach and food avoidance scales were 0.33 and 0.27, respectively.
Conclusion: Given the significant relationship between nutritional literacy and eating behaviors among nursing students, nursing faculty managers and health policymakers should develop new public health strategies to increase nutritional literacy among nursing students.

Authors: Li Yinghao , Zong Ran , Zhang Yujiao , Zhang Boyang
Published: July 2023

A transient 3D numerical model was established to investigate the multi-coupling transport phenomena in the Al-alloy GMAW board surfacing process. An integrated self-adaptive distribution mode of "arc current density-arc pressure-electromagnetic force-arc heat" was proposed to adapt to the evolution of the surface morphology of the molten pool. The heat and force state of the molten pool was analyzed to investigate its influence on the bead formation. The results showed that the arc pressure and droplet impingement promoted the backward flow of the liquid metal, thus forming the gouging region. It decreased the concentration of the arc current density, thereby reducing the superheat of the liquid metal and facilitating the filling of the weld toe. Based on the characteristics of the temperature and velocity fields, the characteristics of weld formation in the three stages of arc preheating, melting, and solidification were analyzed. This study revealed the relationship between molten pool behavior and bead formation, promoting the implementation of Al-alloy GMAW in welding and additive manufacturing.
Changes in Interoceptive Accuracy Related to Emotional Interference in Somatic Symptom Disorder
Authors: Lee Deokjong , Kim Se Joo , Cheon Jooah , Jung Young-chul , Kang Jee In
Published: July 2023

Objective: Patients with somatic symptom disorder (SSD) tend to have problems perceiving their bodily signals. We hypothesized that SSD patients would exhibit changes in interoceptive accuracy (IA), particularly when emotional processing is involved.
Methods: Twenty-three patients with SSD and 20 healthy controls were recruited. IA was assessed using the heartbeat perception task. The task was performed in the absence of stimuli as well as in the presence of emotional interference, i.e., photographs of faces with an emotional expression. IA were examined for correlation with measures related to their somatic symptoms, including resting-state heart rate variability (HRV).
Results: There was no significant difference in the absolute values of IA between patients with SSD and healthy controls, regardless of the condition. However, the degree of difference in IA without emotional interference and with neutral facial interference was greater in patients with SSD than in healthy controls (p=0.039). The IA of patients with SSD also showed a significant correlation with low-frequency HRV (p=0.004) and high-frequency HRV (p=0.007).
Conclusion: SSD patients showed more significant changes in IA when neutral facial interference was given. These results suggest that bodily awareness is more affected by emotionally ambiguous stimuli in SSD patients than in healthy controls.

Published: July 2023

Recent advancements in autonomous driving technology have resulted in a growing need for robust algorithms that can effectively detect, recognize, and segment objects in the surrounding environment. Semantic segmentation systems, which classify each
pixel of an image into a class, have become a key component in achieving complete scene understanding, a crucial task for self-driving vehicles. This work focuses on utilizing deep learning methods to perform semantic segmentation
on spherical images, a particular representation of fisheye images, characterized by a large field of view and strong distortion, which can result in performance degradation on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained on pinhole images. To address this issue, we propose the use of spherical kernels, which adapt their sampling locations according to the spherical projection, as an alternative to standard convolutional kernels, in real-time CNNs. We demonstrate that this approach outperforms the use of the regular convolution operation. To showcase the effectiveness of this method, we generate three spherical image datasets with varying characteristics.
Design of a MIMO Antenna Using SRR Metamaterial for Improved Isolation dedicated for 5G and IOTapplications
Authors: Chouikhi Linda , Essid Chaker , Salah Bassem Ben
Published: July 2023

In this document, a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna is proposed in the 3.5 GHz band for wireless applications in 5G connected devices. This MIMO antenna system consists of two antennas disposed next to each other, and the dimensions of each antenna were 50 mm ×40 mm× 1.6 mm. It has a full size of 100 mm ×80 mm× 1.6 mm and a spacing of λ/8 between radiating elements, where λ is the length of waves in a vacuum. The proposed antenna is designed on a FR4 type substrate with a permittivity of 4.3 and a microstrip line is used to feed the patch. An effective technique is used to increase the decoupling between antennas. This technique is base on the inserting of an arrangement of SRR (Split Ring Resonator) cells to minimize the isolation between the MIMO antenna elements. A simulation, analysis, and fabrication process are used to create both individual and MIMO antennas. A simulation result shows that the gain remains above 3.5 dB and the efficiency reaches above 80% in the working band. Thus, a good reduction of the mutual coupling of 23 dB with SRRs is achieved. Also, a good agreement is achieved between measurements and simulation results. Our work shows the influence of each technique on the characteristics of our antennas to find the best configuration to be suitable for 5G and IOT applications.

Double Level Code Scanning Leveraging Network virtualization and Machine Learning to Mitigate Memory Starvation Risks and Insecure Programming
Authors: Alibrahim Thikra , Hendaoui Saloua
Published: July 2023

In this study, we investigate the role of software-defined networking (SDN) controller on memory usage, system stability, and performance in cloud computing networks, with a specific focus on the deployment of machine learning techniques. The SDN controller utilizes machine learning algorithms to dynamically detect and block vulnerable and memory-intensive cloudlet codes. The results demonstrate that the deployment of machine learning in the SDN controller significantly improves resource allocation, mitigates resource contention, and reduces the risk of memory exhaustion. By accurately identifying and preventing the execution of insecure cloudlets, the machine learning-enabled SDN controller enhances system security and maintains optimal resource utilization. Moreover, the study highlights the positive influence of the SDN controller on system stability, preventing disruptive operations and minimizing the likelihood of system crashes or slowdowns.
Activities of the Republican Trust «Ukrsilprombud» in Sumy Region during Post-war time (1947–1954)
Authors: Korol Vitaliy
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to analyzing the characteristic features and peculiarities of the organization and functioning of the “Ukrsilprombud” trust, as well as its role in the recovery and development of the economy and infrastructure in Sumy region in the post-war period.
The Republican Construction and Assembly Trust “Ukrsilprombud” existed during 1947-1954 and was an economic unit subordinated to the Ministry of Agriculture of the Ukrainian SSR. The trust specialized in constructing machine-tractor stations, machine-tractor workshops and other objects that were supposed to ensure the mechanization of agriculture.
The research highlights the formation and development of the organizational structure of the trust. The regional division of “Ukrsilprombud” – the Sumy Regional Construction and Installation Office – operated in Sumy oblast. The level of financing of this enterprise and the state of its provision of building materials and qualified personnel are characterized.
It was revealed that a lagging pace, non-fulfilment of plans, violation of the order and unevenness of work in the districts of Sumy region characterized the trust’s participation in reconstruction. The leading cause of these phenomena was the ineffectiveness of the system of organizing the process at both the state and regional levels, manifested by insufficient funding, a lack of construction materials, a shortage and low qualification of workers. Sometimes the negative impact on the productivity of construction organizations was caused by a subjective factor – negligence and corruption on the part of managers.
The research is based on materials from the funds of the Central State Archives of Supreme Bodies of Power and Government of Ukraine and the State Archive of Sumy Region, as well as information from the local press issued in the late 1940s – early 1950s.

Hidden dependencies in model independent tests of DAMA
Authors: Zurowski Madeleine J.
Published: July 2023

For nearly two decades the DAMA Collaboration has been observing a modulating signal compatible with that expected from a dark matter presence in our galaxy. However, interpretations of this with the standard assumptions for dark matter particles are strongly ruled out by a large number of other experiments. This tension can be relaxed somewhat by making more tailored choices for the dark matter model and properties of interest, but expanding the models of interest in such a way makes it impossible to test the DAMA modulation conclusively. In order to understand the exact nature of this signal, we need to use a detector based on the same target (NaI(Tl)), which would be sensitive to exactly the same particle interaction models as DAMA. There are a number of such experiments in the data taking or commissioning stages designed to do just this, two of which (ANAIS and COSINE) recently released their results after 3 years of data taking. Interestingly, the modulation observed by the two experiments deviate from each other by 2\sigmaσ, while being within 3\sigmaσ of the DAMA result. This paper addresses potential differences between NaI(Tl) based detectors that could lead to the differing results to date, with a particular focus on the quenching factor

The CRESST-III experiment aims at the direct detection of dark matter particles via their elastic scattering off nuclei in a scintillating CaWO_44 target crystal. For many years CaWO_44 crystals have successfully been produced in-house at Technische Universität München with a focus on high radiopurity. To further improve the CaWO_44 crystals, an extensive chemical purification of the raw materials has been performed and the crystal TUM93 was produced from this powder. We present results from an \alphaα-decay rate analysis performed on 344 days of data collected in the ongoing CRESST-III data-taking campaign. The \alphaα-decay rate could significantly be reduced.
Status of DMRadio-50L and DMRadio-m$^3$
Authors: Rapidis Nicholas Marcos
Published: July 2023

Recent theoretical advancements have made the QCD axion a stronger dark matter candidate, especially in the sub-\muμeV range. While cavity haloscopes have made significant progress in excluding QCD axions in the 1-100 \muμ eV region, the 1 peV- 1 \muμeV region remains unexplored. The DMRadio program consists of a series of experiments designed to probe low mass axions. DMRadio-50L uses a 1 T average field toroidal magnet and a high-Q LC-oscillator with target sensitivity to axions of g_{a\gamma\gamma} < 5 \times 10^{-15}\text{ GeV}^{-1}gaγγ<5×10−15 GeV−1between 5 kHz and 5 MHz. DMRadio-m^33 consists of a higher frequency LC-oscillator in a 4 T peak field solenoidal magnet with sensitivity to the DFSZ model of QCD axions between 30 MHz and 200 MHz. In this work, we present the status of DMRadio-50L and DMRadio-m^3.3.
Axion-like particle as cold dark matter via the misalignment mechanism with PQ symmetry unbroken during inflation
Authors: Kozow Pawel , Olechowski Marek
Published: July 2023

The QCD axion and axion-like particles (ALPs) are well motivated candidates for Cold Dark Matter (CDM). Such models may be divided into two classes depending on whether the associated Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry is broken or not during inflation. The latter case is usually considered to be quite simple with relic density depending only on the corresponding decay constant and with no constraints from the known bounds on isocurvature perturbations. We will show that the situation is much more complicated. We will discuss conditions which should be fulfilled by ALP models with U(1) unbroken during inflation to be phenomenologically interesting.
Global fits of Dirac dark matter effective field theories
Authors: Beniwal Ankit
Published: July 2023

In this proceeding, we present results from a global fit of Dirac fermion dark matter (DM) effective field theory (EFT) based on arXiv:2106.02056 using the GAMBIT framework. Here we show results only for the dimension-6 operators that describe the interactions between a gauge-singlet Dirac fermion and Standard Model quarks. Our global fit combines the latest constraints from Planck, direct and indirect DM detection, and the LHC. For DM mass below 100 GeV, it is impossible to simultaneously satisfy all constraints while maintaining the EFT validity at high energies. For higher masses, however, large regions of parameter space remain viable where the EFT is valid and saturates the observed DM abundance.
Improved Galactic diffuse emission model strengthens the case for a Millisecond Pulsar explanation of the Fermi GeV excess
Authors: Macias Oscar , Pohl Martin , Gordon Chris , Coleman Phaedra
Published: July 2023

After more than a decade since its discovery, the Galactic center gamma-ray excess - discovered with the Fermi Large Area Telescope - remains puzzling. While the spectrum of the signal can be explained by either dark matter or an unresolved population of millisecond pulsars, the spatial morphology of this excess seems to hold the key to separate the two theories. In this contribution, we present the results of a recent study in which we use bleeding edge models for interstellar gas, inverse Compton emission, and stellar mass models to reanalyze the Galactic center excess. We find that the spatial morphology of the excess is highly correlated with stellar matter in the Galactic bulge, providing strong support for the millisecond pulsar hypothesis.
UNMASKING FINANCIAL DECEPTION: UNRAVELING THE FRAUD HEXAGON’S INFLUENCE ON DETECTING FINANCIAL STATEMENT FRAUD IN INDONESIAN PUBLIC COMPANIES
Authors: Wijaya Theresia , Witjaksono Armanto
Published: July 2023

This study examines the influence of the fraud hexagon on the likelihood of financial statement fraud in Indonesian public companies with stock values below IDR 100 that were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2018 to 2020. The study population comprises sixty companies with stock values below IDR 100 for three consecutive years listed on the IDX. The objective sampling technique was employed to select a sample of 48 companies that met the research criteria, resulting in 144 observations. Data analysis was performed using logistic regression. The findings reveal that financial stability and change in auditors significantly impact identifying financial statement fraud, while financial targets, changes in directors, collusion, inefficient monitoring, and the frequency of C.E.O. photos show no influence. These results provide valuable insights for detecting and preventing financial statement fraud in Indonesian public companies with low stock values.
Archetype and Individuation Process in Alan Wake (2010) Video Game
Authors: Garcia Andry
Published: July 2023

This research purpose aims to demonstrate the individuation process of Alan Wake through the archetypes by finishing the last page of “Departure” manuscript. The research uses interpretative qualitative method in extending the findings. Using interpretation analysis can depict phenomenon of video game from the act, figures, sources (game items; weapons, flashlight, manuscript, etc.), situation, by applying Carl Gustav Jung’s psychoanalytic theory of archetype and individuation process in the video game. In the video game story, Alan Wake is a writer who had had a writer’s block for 2 years and experiences a nightmare. The nightmare happens when Alice Wake has lost at the Cauldron Lake. To find Alice, Alan follow the journey from his nightmare, suddenly discovers something powerful to create and change things influenced by two mythical figures, namely Thomas Zane and Barbara Jagger. Both figures come into Alan’s nightmare following the unwritten manuscript “Departure” plot story, whose Alan is guided to contain several figures to overcome darkness figures and integrate light and darkness to be actualized. The findings show that archetype depictions are associated by mythological images reflected from the collective unconscious in Alan Wake. The forms such as Barbara Jagger, Thomas Zane, Taken, Alan as The Hero, and the Bird Leg cabin are the projected images that Alan created in his dream. Alan starts his nightmare journey, experiences all the archetypes contributed, and realizes how to end the “Departure” manuscript as Alan’s individuation process. In conclusion, Alan Wake's unconscious journey by ending at the point of self-realization and writing the "Departure" script is considered as an individuation process.

This paper describes how the game is a tool to support the strengthening of character education for its users. In implementing the Independent Learning Education, Merdeka Campus, Bandung State Polytechnic, collaborated with the industry to apply gamification to the concept of character education and the nation's cultural values. Some of the objectives of this gamification activity are: (a) Getting the ethnic group’s information; (b) Providing users inspiration to develop themselves; (c) Growing a better direction mindset. The game developed is a web-based application (online gamification), so as many students/students and lecturers as possible can use the game to support strengthening character education and the nation's cultural values. The manual version of the video game content (prototype) is available, namely the 2021 research output containing Pancasila character content based on ethnic excellence. The elements of educational content in online gamification contain the results of identifying the prominent characters of 10 ethnic groups in Indonesia with the largest population (Dayak, Madura, Jawa, Sunda, Baduy, Batak, Banjar, Minahasa, Betawi, Minang). This study used three approaches which are Qualitative-Explorative, Qualitative-Descriptive, and Evaluation. The method used to know how gamification was implemented in character education and the nation's cultural values. It is hoped that gamification can integrate into the learning process for compulsory national subjects. Thus, students can become users and a market for the gamification industry.
O Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) brasileiro: trajetória e perspectivas
Authors: Ferreira Gustavo Assed , Ferreira Carolina Assed
Published: July 2023

O Sistema Único de Saúde representou um avanço significativo para a proteção da saúde pública no Brasil. Dentro do contexto nacional, a sua importância é inegável, evoluindo, ainda que com alguns sobressaltos, nos últimos 30 anos. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a trajetória do Sistema Único de Saúde brasileiro e determinar perspectivas para o seu desenvolvimento e modernização, a partir da proposta de sua gestão descentralizada e participativa. Na medida em que se tem a substituição da figura do Estado interventor pela do Estado regulador-controlador, a partir do ideal neoliberal, que tem conseguido ganhar espaço no pensamento econômico brasileiro, busca-se examinar o desenvolvimento histórico e os componentes do sistema de saúde brasileiro, enfocando o processo de reforma durante os últimos anos, incluindo a criação do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Além disso, serão tratados os avanços no setor de saúde, relacionados a investimentos em recursos humanos, ciência e tecnologia e atenção primária, o processo de descentralização substancial, a ampla participação social e a crescente conscientização pública sobre o direito à saúde. No que tange ao problema enfrentado por este artigo, fica a pergunta: Como o SUS poderia, após mais de 30 anos, evoluir de forma mais acelerada, favorecendo uma mais ampla e melhor prestação dos serviços públicos de saúde? A metodologia adotada é a dedutiva, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, com base na legislação, jurisprudência e na doutrina. O primeiro item deste trabalho contextualiza a adoção e a consolidação do SUS no Brasil; o segundo e o terceiro tratam, respectivamente, da sua estrutura e financiamento, bem como das suas perspectivas de evolução para os próximos anos.
Viabilidade criminal das entidades familiares poliafetivas: A não-caracterização do crime de bigamia sob a perspectiva de desconstrução da monogamia como princípio jurídico
Authors: Guerra Neto Antonio de Melo , Mendes Barbosa Diniz Ana Catarina
Published: July 2023

Este artigo se debruçou sobre o tema da viabilidade criminal das entidades familiares poliafetivas ante a não caracterização do crime de bigamia e sob a perspectiva de desconstrução da monogamia como princípio jurídico. Almejou-se discutir que não há nenhum óbice ao efetivo reconhecimento jurídico de tais formatações na seara criminal, ressaltando a viabilidade penal, inclusive, do casamento envolvendo tais entidades. Partiu-se da hipótese de que o Direito Brasileiro, orientado pelo Princípio da Afetividade no Direito de Família, não impõe qualquer óbice à aceitação da modalidade de família convivente em poliamor, notadamente em relação ao âmbito criminal. A teoria do Poder Simbólico, de Pierre Bourdieu, orientou a análise do objeto e da problemática proposta, e permitiu a compreensão das relações entre Poder e Direito, revelando em que medida o fenômeno jurídico impõe um sistema de poder (controle) sobre os corpos humanos, mediante o condicionamento das identidades relacionais adotadas pelos indivíduos na sociedade. Objetivou-se analisar a problemática que gira em torno da necessidade de pleno reconhecimento jurídico às entidades familiares que se baseiam no poliamor, especialmente no que diz respeito aos aspectos criminais, tendo como paradigma a noção de desconstrução da monogamia como princípio do ordenamento jurídico. Adotou-se uma metodologia de caráter exploratório e qualitativo, mediante a revisão bibliográfica e a utilização de dados secundários.

A Constituição Federal brasileira trouxe um extenso catálogo de direitos e garantias fundamentais, direcionados à promoção da dignidade da pessoa humana, assegurando aos titulares dos direitos a liberdade de escolha, desde que observada a lei. Num primeiro momento, o trabalho reúne breves considerações a respeito dos direitos fundamentais, destacando a relevância dos princípios como instrumentos de concretização da vontade da Constituição, principalmente no que concerne à livre iniciativa e concorrência, como princípios da ordem econômica. Em seguida, se dedica ao Direito Privado, de forma mais específica ao serviço de transporte de passageiros, estabelecendo a distinção entre a seara pública e privada, para esclarecer a função do aplicativo Uber na relação contratual. Por fim, analisa a eficácia dos direitos fundamentais nas relações privadas e se há a necessidade de regulamentação normativa, para assegurar o pleno exercício da liberdade de iniciativa profissional para, então, concluir que a Constituição Federal, por seu caráter dirigente, neste caso específico, tem aplicação direta e imediata, prescindindo de regulamentação para irradiar às relações interprivadas. Destaca, também, que a livre iniciativa e concorrência, aliadas à liberdade de expressão tecnológica e sua exploração, característica da sociedade da informação, são salutares para o desenvolvimento de um corpo social fundado em preceitos de justiça e igualdade, promovidas pelo princípio da solidariedade. Empregou-se o método dedutivo e, como técnica de pesquisa, a bibliográfica, recolhendo elementos em livros e periódicos para a definição e dimensionamento do referido problema.

El modelo flipped learning (FL) es utilizado en las universidades porque permite incorporar metodologías activas en el proceso de aprendizaje. Al aplicar este modelo, es importante considerar en la planificación, los elementos que contribuyen al cumplimiento de las metas de aprendizaje. En este sentido, esta revisión de alcance busca determinar los factores clave de la implementación del modelo FL en clases universitarias. Para ello, se analizaron: i) las actividades realizadas antes, durante y después de la clase; ii) las ventajas y desventajas de la aplicación del modelo; y iii) las herramientas tecnológicas utilizadas en la práctica docente. Del análisis, se concluyó que es indispensable que durante la pre-clase los estudiantes estudien los videos y participen durante la clase, siendo primordial el seguimiento y la retroalimentación al culminar la clase. Un factor principal a considerar es la planificación del entorno de aprendizaje. Los resultados de este estudio son una guía útil para el docente que desea aplicar el FL y para el investigador que tenga interés en enfocarse en las áreas menos tratadas en este modelo, tales como el trabajo del docente en la implementación del FL
Bioaugmentation of a structural extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) producer to improve activated sludge bioflocculation: lessons learned
Authors: Christiaens An-Sofie , Daenen Robin , Smets Ilse
Published: July 2023

Structural extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) contribute to the bioflocculation performance of activated sludge systems. This research investigates the potential of bioaugmentation of a structural EPS producer, Azoarcus communis, as a bioflocculation improvement or remediation approach. An antibiotic-resistant and fluorescent protein-producing mutant was constructed to monitor the survival, persistence, and location of the augmented strain in the membrane bioreactor. Preliminary batch tests against a kaolin clay model system and deflocculated sludge revealed the flocculation potential of this strain. Morphological image analysis and fluorescence microscopy suggest that most of the bacteria augmented in suspension were initially attached to the sludge flocs with, however, only a limited fraction getting incorporated within the activated sludge floc biomass. This limited bioaugmentation prevented assessing its impact on bioflocculation and might be explained by metazoan and protozoan grazing, together with competition with indigenous organisms and sub-optimal growth conditions in the reactor for the engineered strain.
Evaluation of the extended applicability of a simulated hydrological Tank model at the Ca River Basin sub-catchments
Authors: Phuong Ho Thi , Huu Le Tien
Published: July 2023

For the majority of the world, most drainage basins are poorly gauged or simply ungauged. The estimation of the hydrological parameters in sub-catchments of large basins is a very difficult task but is frequently required in hydrological analyses. Estimating runoff from ungauged or sparsely gauged catchments is a serious challenge in developing countries like Vietnam. The Ca River Basin is the most extensive system in the North Central region of Vietnam but contains very limited hydrological gauging stations. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the extended applicability of a simulated hydrological Tank model at the Ca River Basin sub-catchments. The daily Tank model was calibrated in gauged sub-catchments: Quy Chau in northern-side and Hoa Quan in southern-side sub-catchments. The extended applicability of calibrated parameter sets was verified by data from the continuously gauged stations of Nghia Khanh, Dua, and Yen Thuong. According to the findings of this study, the use of parameters identified in small sub-catchments can be used to calculate the flow processes in similar, but larger catchments in the Ca River Basin. The simulated Tank model parameters can be applied to calculate discharge at ungauged locations within the study area for a variety of purposes.
Etapas de la vida espiritual
Authors: Zottola Ariel
Published: July 2023

En el presente artículo, teniendo como punto de partida la comprensión de la espiritualidad como dinamismo del amor que el Espíritu Santo infunde en nosotros, se buscará presentar de manera sintética las etapas de la vida espiritual, condensadas de manera clásica en purificativa, iluminativa y unitiva. Al mismo tiempo, esa lectura permitirá, al buscar responder mejor a la realidad contemporánea, acrecentar la etapa del encuentro, que revela el amor de Dios y el misterio personal de la vocación. En la etapa purificadora, contemplada como camino de crecimiento, se integrará al desarrollo clásico de San Juan de la Cruz y San Ignacio de Loyola, con la perspectiva de Evagrio Póntico, que, a pesar de ser más antiguo, paradójicamente, puede ofrecer claves más realistas para el creyente actual en su vida cotidiana. En la etapa iluminativa, donde se ahondó más, como antesala de la misma, se incorporó la temática de la experiencia vital de la misericordia y el reconocimiento de la propia realidad, dando algunas pistas para incluir en el relato del crecimiento espiritual la propia fragilidad. Finalmente, como esfuerzo de diálogo con la teología pastoral, se buscará identificar el dinamismo pastoral misionero de cada etapa de la vida espiritual.
El primer sínodo de Temuco 1968: una Iglesia pro existente y sinodal. Propuesta de reforma eclesial aún pendiente
Authors: Zolezzi Tibaldo
Published: July 2023

El primer Sínodo de Temuco de 1968 es paradigmático de los numerosos sínodos que fueron celebrados en Chile inmediatamente después del Concilio Vaticano II y constituye un discernimiento profético, adelantado a su tiempo. Muchas de sus propuestas han marcado el caminar pastoral de la diócesis hasta nuestros días, pero otras, o fueron olvidadas prontamente o se diluyeron con el tiempo. Junto con presentar el desarrollo histórico del Sínodo, de sus acuerdos y tareas principales, este trabajo intenta una aproximación a su núcleo central y reflexiona sobre las razones del olvido de muchos de sus aportes, así como también sobre aquellos aspectos de su enseñanza que son necesarios de recuperar y de aquellos otros en los que es posible avanzar.

La presente reseña da cuenta de un reciente libro publicado en París por Ediciones del pueblo sobre temática de antropología teológica. Se toma como eje central la reflexión de la categoría bíblica Imago Dei que aparece por primera vez en el libro del Génesis, capítulo 1, versículo 26 y desde ella se articula un discurso bíblico-teológico que va analizando dicha categoría en los diferentes tratados de la teología clásica. Esta metodología le sirve al autor para mostrar un itinerario optimista de la creación del ser humano como imagen creada. Sin embargo, aquella imagen ha sido afectada por el pecado en cuanto imagen caída, pero, en esta misma dinámica amorosa que parte de Dios, se convierte en imagen restaurada por Cristo en una vida de gracia. Esta misma imagen tiende a ser imagen consumada en la esperanza cristiana de la resurrección. Además, la categoría de ser creación de Dios como Imago Dei tiene otras connotaciones de vital importancia, como son las morales, eclesiales, pastorales y mariológicas.

Published: July 2023

The existence of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia has had a significant impact on the nation's economy. Various types of MSMEs have been developed, including MSMEs with disabilities, especially those who are female. This study was conducted to determine the factors that influence the development of women's MSMEs, especially those with disabilities. The research method used was descriptive and qualitative. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, structured interviews, and FGDs. The results show that there are several factors that influence the development of MSMEs for women with disabilities, namely physical accessibility and information, education and training, social support and networks, access to capital and funding, inclusion policies and legal protection, and awareness and attitude change. In addition, internal factors originating from female MSME actors with disabilities, and external factors originating from family, community, and government also influence the development of women with MSMEs with disabilities.

Published: July 2023

Los sistemas de alcantarillado y plantas de tratamiento de aguas residuales en el Ecuador presentan inconvenientes debido en parte a su operación y mantenimiento los cuales afectan al medio ambiente y a la salud humana. El propósito de la presente investigación es el diseño de un sistema de filtración como tratamiento primario de las aguas residuales de la comunidad Ballan, de la parroquia San Juan del cantón Riobamba de la provincia del Chimborazo. Si bien es cierto no se cuenta con un dato inicial de las concentraciones de BQO y DBO5, pero mediante los respectivos modelos matemáticos se obtiene un dato aproximado que se ajusta a la realidad ya que las actividades antrópicas que se generan en el sector influyen en la obtención de altas concentraciones de carga contaminante. Las actividades de agricultura y la conversión de uso de suelo en el sector generan varios problemas que afectan a la calidad de agua.
