Fast procedure to compute empirical and Bernstein Copulas
Authors: Hernández-Maldonado Victor Miguel
Published: April 2024

In this work, a novel technique for efficient computation of
bivariate empirical copulas and, by extension, non-parametric
copulas. The algorithm addresses discrete and finite
equations, integrating mathematical-statistical components. It
introduces two novel concepts: Propagation and Overlapping,
to enhance computations and their comprehension during
empirical copula construction. The algorithm is presented in
pseudo-code for its implementation in any programming
language. Comparative performance assessments
demonstrate computing speeds ranging from 60 to 250 times
faster than the standard algorithm across multiple case
studies. Recent research highlights the utility of copulas in
Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques for enhanced
predictions [I]. Existing studies center on parametric copulas,
underscoring the significance of introducing a methodology
for non-parametric copula implementation because this
approach facilitates precise modeling of non-linear
relationships among random variables, offering substantial
improvements over conventional techniques, and boosting its
integration, within the realm of artificial intelligence.
Stepped solar tracking model with different acceptance angles for various solar
concentration schemes
Authors: Sígala-Valdez Jesús Octavio
Published: April 2024

In the last decade, the energy industry has taken a great social,
environmental and economic impact due to the exponential increase in
the use of fossil fuels. World governments have come to the conclusion
that it is necessary to promote research and development of renewable
energy technologies for their global exploitation. The energy potential of
the Sun is shown as one of the most adaptable alternatives for domestic
and industrial uses. Several mathematical models of direct solar radiation
have been carried out using various solar tracking strategies; The
importance of these systems lies in optimizing the amount of solar
radiation in any type of collector. In this research work, the mathematical
analysis of incident solar radiation on a flat surface is proposed using
MATLAB of various solar tracking schemes in clear sky conditions for
the geographical coordinates and climatological conditions of the city of
Zacatecas. When comparing the different cases of solar tracking, the
following is observed: (a) More solar radiation reaches the surfaces that
comply with some sun tracking scheme per month, compared to those
surfaces that do not move. (b) The surface that receives the least amount
of solar radiation every month is the horizontal surface. The solar
irradiation per month estimated for this case is approximately 25% below
the maximum calculated value corresponding to the monitoring of
heliotrope-type solar collection. Regarding the comparative analysis of
the data obtained, it can be seen that: The clear sky model prepared by
ESRA has a behavior very close to the data from the Zacatecas_04
Solarimetric Station, having a difference with a maximum value of
0.13% for the month of January same year.

Comparison of bacterial strain preservation methods in a diagnostic laboratory
Authors: Ramos-Gonzalez Elsy Janeth
Published: April 2024

The use of microorganisms has been key in solving health
problems, in the search for energy sources, as well as in
environmental conservation, among others. The study of
microorganisms involves the use of live cultures, which
must be maintained and conserved. This need has driven
the search for methodologies that are useful for the
preservation of strains that are of interest. The objective of
this work was to compare three different methods of
conservation and storage of strains. The results show that
the periodic reseeding method is only viable to be used
during strain evaluations, the mineral oil method preserves
the strains well but is not viable for long periods of time.
The freezing method demonstrated that the strains are
preserved without alterations for long periods of time. In
conclusion, the 3 conservation methods guarantee the
survival of the strains, the choice of which will depend on
the frequency of use of the cultures.

Effect of design geometry on drag force in an experimental study on underwater
drone
Authors: Rodriguez Cesar Francisco
Published: April 2024

Recently, underwater drones have known a growing
interest, however, their design can still be improved to
achieve higher autonomy and lower energy consumption.
Therefore, this study focuses on studying the effect of
design geometry on the drag force to improve the
autonomy of drones by reducing their energy
consumption. This study showed that the design geometry
has a substantial influence on the drag coefficient reducing
the drag effect by 13%. Experimental data demonstrated
the dispersion of the drag coefficient as a function of the
flow regime for each NACA profile used in the prototype.
Also, it was found that the design geometry and the
hydrodynamic efficiency of the drone are directly related,
which means that with specific adjustments to the
geometry a lower drag coefficient can be achieved. This
study has shown that drag coefficient is a function of flow
regime and that proper design can improve it. An
optimized design would improve the range and efficiency
of the drone by reducing power consumption due to lower
drag force.
Transforming landscapes: Effects of residential tourism on the urban and natural
sustainability of the La Sabana river area, Acapulco, Mexico
Authors: Niño-Gutiérrez Naú Silverio
Published: April 2024

The tourist destination of Acapulco, located on the Mexican Pacific
coast, stands out for its popularity among residential tourists from
the country's main cities due to its proximity to the sea. This essay
aims to: i) analyze the dynamics of residential tourism in this area,
and ii) synthesize the vulnerability of residential tourists to natural
disasters. To achieve this, a geographical approach complemented
by integrated landscape analysis was applied, focusing on urban
settlements. The results revealed that the tourist destination: a) is
exposed to various natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, and
earthquakes due to its geographical location; b) a lack of adequate
infrastructure and services to meet the needs of residential tourists
was also identified, which worsens vulnerability in emergency
situations; and c) a lack of preparedness and proper planning to deal
with natural disasters was also evident. Based on these findings, the
following conclusions can be drawn: 1) it is urgent to improve the
infrastructure and available services to ensure adequate evacuation
in case of a disaster; 2) collaboration and coordination between local
authorities, academics, civil society, and entrepreneurs are necessary
to implement effective prevention and response measures; and 3) the
information presented can contribute to improving the safety and
well-being of residential tourists in tourist destinations vulnerable to
natural disasters.

Authors: Totomol-Yoval Blanca Estela
Published: April 2024

In daily practice in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU),
newborns are subjected to a series of procedures and
therapeutic interventions that cause pain; Pain management
in the newborn is important within specialized care in
neonatology (Gallegos-Martínez & Salazar-Juárez, 2010).
Patricia Benner in her theory points out that, as the
professional acquires this experience, clinical knowledge
becomes a mixture of practical and theoretical knowledge. It
is important to mention that nursing sees the human being as
a holistic being in each of the stages of his life. Objective:
Identify the level of knowledge about pain management in
the Neonatal Intensive Care area by the nursing professional
Methodology: A quantitative, descriptive study was carried
out, its type of research is prospective, longitudinal. The
subjects were nursing staff. With a universe of 35 nurses
from all shifts and a sample of 20 participants at the
convenience of the NICU area from different shifts
(morning, afternoon, night and cumulative shift). An
instrument was used to measure knowledge of neonatal pain
by nursing professionals in neonatal intensive care units
carried out by Edwin Millán Flores and validated by the Ana
G. Méndez University System (SUAGM) in Puerto, Rico.
Results: The level of knowledge about neonatal pain
management education was 35.0% of the nursing staff had a
good level of knowledge and 45.0% had an excellent level.
Conclusions: Although we have the knowledge, the nursing
professional Benner tells us that we must reach the experts,
therefore, it is necessary to design tools or strategies that
take us to the experts, to apply the knowledge and share it
with the other personnel in the area.

Authors: Cabrera-Requenes Joshua Salvador
Published: April 2024

Nowadays the topic of food is increasingly complex. It is
no longer just about the degree of access, but also the way
of producing, processing, transporting, trading and
consuming them, without forgetting the effects that these
activities generate. As food is cooked, processed and
sterilized, its nutritional value decreases, losing enzymes
and vitamins, as well as other nutritional and healing
qualities (Vitola, 2022). The objective of this work is the
dehydration of vegetables using solar energy, to formulate
a vegan soup. The methodology used was the preparation
of the samples to be deposited in solar dehydrators, which
operate in natural and forced convection. The % initial and
final humidity, temperature of the dryers and drying time
were evaluated, setting a final time of 7 hours. The
irradiance at the experimental site was 527.7 W/m². The
results obtained on average of the humidity removed were
83.3%. It is concluded that for dehydration, the forced
operation is ideal to achieve the stated objective.

level
Authors: Rangel-Ruiz Karelia Liliana
Published: April 2024

Considering the sustainable development model, it is
necessary for universities to create strategies for teaching
sustainability, especially those where Engineering is
taught. In this work, a pilot test of a strategy for teaching
sustainability integrated into two of the subjects of
Biotechnology Engineering is presented. For this
strategy, the subject syllabi were analyzed and the
construction of a greenhouse with recyclable materials
was proposed. The students planned a construction site
within the university and proposed a design, considering
the established guidelines. Once approved, it was built.
The greenhouse was commissioned and currently houses
a wide variety of plants belonging to various projects
within the university. According to the surveys carried
out, the students consider that thanks to the
implementation of this strategy they were able to learn
something new or reaffirm what they already knew.
Therefore, it is necessary that universities develop
strategies that help students better understand sustainable
development.

Authors: Herrera-Aguilar Miguel Ángel
Published: April 2024

This project focuses on the characterization of the
ADXL335 accelerometer to conduct the analysis of
mechanical vibrations, with special emphasis on its
application for educational purposes in visualizing
vibrational behavior in an educational environment. In a
first phase, the creation of a module that helps the practical
observation of vibrations is proposed. The implementation
was conducted by using the ADXL335 accelerometer in
conjunction with a mobile application and the ArduinoLabVIEW platform. Although the tests proved to be

Prototype design education for the teaching of mechanism kinematics: Application
to the Scotch yoke mechanism
Authors: Perera-Cortez Miguel Ángel
Published: April 2024

The present research focuses on the design, construction and manufacture
of a didactic prototype based on the Scottish yoke mechanism. This
device aims to provide an effective tool to visualize and understand the
fundamental principles of its operation, as well as the associated
kinematics. The integration of the traditional method of kinematics, the
Velocity Polygon, with modern technologies such as computer-aided
design (CAD), additive manufacturing, and automatic control is a key
component of this project. The central objective of this controllable
didactic prototype is to enable undergraduate students in mechatronics,
mechanics, and industry to acquire technical skills and solve specific
problems related to the mechanism of the Scottish yoke. To achieve this,
an instrumentation system developed in LabVIEW is used to collect realtime information on the kinematics of the mechanism's joints (nodes). In
addition, motion simulation is used through CAD design and the
graphical method of the Velocity Polygon. A relevant discovery of this
research is the confirmation that the device based on the Scotch yoke
allows an effective representation of the kinematics, supported by the
coincidence of the velocity of the sliding node in the three methods used
(database generated by LabVIEW, CAD simulation and graphical
method of the Velocity Polygon). This validates the efficacy of the
prototype and highlights its usefulness as a practical educational tool for
the development of technical skills and the resolution of problems
specific to the mechanism of the Scottish yoke.
Energy analysis of the oxygen production for a habitat on Mars
Authors: Valle-Hernández Julio
Published: April 2024

A habitat outside planet Earth has been one of the most
promising topics in space science, which today with
technological advances takes on greater relevance.
However, to bring this idea to reality it is necessary to
ensure five basic needs: oxygen, water, energy, shelter,
and food. The objective of this work is to analyze the
production of oxygen necessary for a habitat on Mars from
the energy supplied by a nuclear reactor, that allows to
ensures the shelter and energy requirements. The analysis
is carried out in three stages; the generation of energy from
a space nuclear reactor, the quantification of the oxygen
required for the habitat, and its sizing, based on a mission
proposed by NASA. Since energy is fundamental for the
progress of any settlement, whether in space or on Earth,
having a detailed study of the energy processes involved
will determine its viability and scope. In the case of a
habitat on Mars, this becomes more relevant since the
energy for oxygen production is vital for the survival of
the occupants.

Vulnerability and resilience in the suburbs of Arvento, Cajititlan, in the face of
global climate change effects
Authors: Caro-Becerra Juan Luis
Published: April 2024

In the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area (GMA), as in other
parts of the world, the population lives in conditions of
extreme poverty as a result of ineffective social and
economic policies, which have led to a position of
vulnerability to latent hazards: adverse weather events,
natural or anthropogenic disasters, or a combination of
these. On the other hand, resilience is relevant for local
society, as it seeks to organize itself, provide services and
response mechanisms in the territory in the face of
hazards. The goal then, is to reduce the magnitude of the
hydrographs by means of probabilistic and statistical
models, which occur in the hydrographic basin. The results
to be obtained were peak flow before and after
urbanization, using the American Rational Formula. It is
concluded that the construction of one or more hydraulic
works will be necessary to solve the problem of possible
floods.

Translation Strategies of Arabic and English Collocations: A Case Study of Algerian EFL Learners
Authors: Mekahli Soumia
Published: April 2024

Objectives: This paper aims to study the main challenges associated with translating idioms between English and Arabic, as well as the strategies used by Algerian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners to overcome difficulties in translating idioms from one language to another.
Methods: A translation test consisting of 18 sentences, 9 in English and 9 in Arabic, collected from Benson (1985), Mahmoud (1994), and Usama (1998), and As-Safi (2016), was administered to thirty Algerian postgraduate EFL students at Oran University in Algeria. Based on the translations provided in these sources, the accuracy of collocation translation was evaluated, and translation strategies were identified and entered into the Excel program, where frequencies and percentages were calculated.
Results: The participants’ overall performance was unsatisfactory, with 11,85% accurate equivalent renditions of collocations from Arabic to English, and 27,03% from English to Arabic. Collocations displaying the "Adjective + Noun" pattern were particularly problematic for the participants. This can be attributed to a lack of knowledge of adjectives in the target language (TL) and their semantic differences, as evident in their excessive use of near-synonymous adjectives. Translating collocations from English to Arabic proved to be more challenging for them than translating collocations from Arabic to English. To compensate for their lack of familiarity with collocations, the EFL learners used the strategies of literal translation, synonymy, reduction, deletion, paraphrasing, and over-generalization.
Conclusions: These findings call for integrating English collocations in the school curricula in Algeria, the development of suitable instructional materials and programs for teaching collocations and prioritizing the teaching of collocations or word combinations in classrooms.

Las juventudes mexicanas ante el discurso de Salvador Allende en 1972 a través del periódico El Informador
Authors: Salazar Velázquez Maricela
Published: April 2024

El discurso de 1972 de Allende en la Universidad de Guadalajara, Jalisco, tuvo una amplia cobertura en la prensa mexicana que seguía los pasos del presidente chileno dando cuenta de su amistosa relación con México. La revisión del influyente diario El Informador permite definir un eje editorial que establece que la reacción de la juventud al discurso de Allende fue muy favorable, positiva y homogénea. Sin embargo, el análisis del texto nos lleva a otras dimensiones de la comunicación. Se desvela una realidad en la que las opiniones de las/los jóvenes parecen ausentes. A diferencia del panorama de entusiasmo e interés planteado en un contundente aparato de comunicación social con líneas discursivas idénticas en los niveles de gobierno municipal, estatal y federal, existía una juventud plural, con disidencia y grupos que no se sintieron representados, cuyas voces quedaron fuera de los medios que solo publicaban el discurso político oficial, el cual atendía al interés de las relaciones diplomáticas de México y los acontecimientos internacionales.
La cocina como espacio de representación del cuerpo y expresión social y cultural de lo cotidiano en América Latina
Authors: Méndez Luz Manosalva
Published: April 2024

Las sociedades no se alimentan solamente de lo que se produce en los espacios que habitan, sino de aquellos productos que deciden comer. A través de la práctica diaria de cocinar, comer y beber, puede configurarse una categorización de diferenciación de clase según lo que se consuma, y así establecer una legitimización del poder político. En la relación mediada por la imposición cultural de lo europeo y por los actos de resistencia e hibridación en América Latina, podemos apreciar transiciones y transformaciones en las dietas y el gusto o preferencia por algunos productos, que estuvieron relacionados no sólo con la imposición cultural sino también con el descubrimiento de nuevas posibilidades, dinámicas comerciales y prácticas en la relación con el ecosistema. Las prácticas alimenticias fueron un escenario para establecer diferencias porque determinaban la posición ante los otros e indicaban la pertenencia a una comunidad, pues su consumo en determinados acontecimientos permitía identificar a un grupo social o étnico. La gran diversidad de la cocina latinoamericana pone en evidencia las fusiones, apropiaciones y adaptaciones que devienen de la representación del cuerpo a partir de lo que se come, cómo se come y cuándo se come. Muchos de sus platos representativos son una metáfora de su configuración cultural.

The aim of the study conducted was to relate metacognitive skills to learning achievement in freshmen entering the Dentistry program at the National University of the Altiplano in Puno - Peru. The study adopts a quantitative approach, with a correlational level and a non-experimental design. It is observational, prospective, and cross-sectional. The sample consisted of a total of 45 freshmen, selected through consecutive non-probabilistic sampling, as all individuals in the population who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were considered. The technique used to measure the variable of metacognitive skills was a survey, with the instrument used being the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI). Learning achievement was measured using documentary analysis through reviewing the averages achieved by the freshmen. The results showed that there is a relationship between metacognitive skills and learning achievement in freshmen (p=0.000). Metacognitive skills in their knowledge dimension were predominantly at a high level (67.4%), as were those in their cognition regulation dimension (60.5%). Freshmen's learning achievement was predominantly acceptable (67.4%). Both male (20.9%) and female (37.2%) students predominantly exhibited a high level of metacognitive skills, and similarly, students from both public and private schools mainly had a high level of metacognitive skills. The study concludes that there is a statistically significant relationship between metacognitive skills and learning achievement, which supports the implementation of induction programs for freshmen before they begin their university academic activities, considering not only academic aspects but also metacognitive skills.

Authors: Umar Muhammad , Mukhtar Dzulkifli , Aziz Mohd Ikhwan
Published: April 2024

The convergence of frontier technologies and innovative business models is crucial for advancing development agendas. In response to the need to rejuvenate a challenged economy and sustain economic diversification, the Nigerian government introduced the National Development Plan (NDP), 2021–2025. This medium-term blueprint seeks comprehensive, sustainable, and all-encompassing national development, with a focal point on Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). This paper explores the pivotal role of innovation and frontier technologies in achieving diversification goals, emphasizing the contributions and challenges faced by SMEs. It employed qualitative research approach in its analysis. The paper evaluates the outcomes of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), 2017-2020, building upon achievements and insights gained during its implementation. It scrutinizes NDP objectives and targets, revealing progress in meeting Vision 2020 goals. Despite GDP ranking improvements, the target to be among the world's top 20 economies was not achieved. The paper underscores the necessity of aggressive integration of innovation and frontier technologies for NDP's aims, including generating 21 million jobs and lifting 35 million people out of poverty by 2025. SMEs play a central role in this process. The study recommends a well-conceived plan, learning from ERGP shortcomings, and advocates for holistic adoption of innovation and technology. Recognizing SMEs as key drivers of economic transformation, the study contributes valuable insights to the discourse on sustainable economic development, providing a roadmap for stakeholders in Nigeria's journey towards prosperity, with a focus on SME-led growth.

Published: April 2024

Budaya merupakan sebuah fenomena global yang memiliki karakteristik unik, mencerminkan persamaan kodrat manusia dari berbagai suku, bangsa dan ras. Peradaban adalah suatu rangkaian sifat yang dibangun berdasarkan pengetahuan, wawasan kebangsaan dan nilai suatu budaya. Hubungan manusia dengan peradaban sangat erat karena saling bergantung untuk membentuk suatu kehidupan yang hakikat. Namun pada saat ini sebagian besar pengenalan terhadap kebudayaan masih dilakukan dengan metode konvensional seperti pada buku pelajaran, seminar, pertunjukan, dan pameran. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa efektivitas kegiatan pengenalan belum mencapai tingkat yang optimal. Penelitian ini akan memanfaatkan teknologi untuk memberikan layanan otomatis dalam menjawab pertanyaan umum seputar kebudayaan dan peradaban di Tanah Papua dengan memanfaatkan data yang telah dikumpulkan.

THE IMPACT OF POLITICAL ALIENATION AND POLITICAL APATHY ON VOTING: A SURVEY OF THE 2019 GENERAL ELECTIONS IN NIGERIA
Authors: IGIEBOR GOD’STIME OSARIYEKEMWEN
Published: April 2024

This paper examined the opinions of electorates on the impact of the apathy and alienation variables on low voter turnout in Nigeria’s 2019 general elections. The paper employed the expost facto design and a survey in data generation and organisation. The systematic sampling technique was used to select 1, 200 samples from the chosen local government areas in Nigeria. The descriptive-analytical method was utilised in the analysis of the qualitative data to ascertain the level of correlation inherent in the propositions. From the findings of the research, political alienation is a major cause of voter abstention while political apathy is a minor cause; bad governance, electoral violence and malpractices are the alienation and apathy variables causing voter abstention in Nigeria. Consequently, it is suggested that governance should be peopleoriented; violence incidences during elections should be mitigated; and the enforcement of appropriate sanctions against election offenders should be adopted to encourage citizens’ participation in the democratisation process.
