Integrating RCEP with Cross-Border E-Commerce (CBE) Towards Accelerating Economic Recovery in ASEAN
Authors: Fithriyah Mia
Published: January 2023

Connectivity is the basis of e-commerce development. E-commerce
reinforces connectivity and aims to promote a continuous stream of information,
logistics, free cash flow, and so forth. A seamless connection between the virtual and
physical parts of an e-commerce network could be demonstrated in Cross-Border Ecommerce (CBE). A region-wide e-commerce support environment with a Regional
Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement would undoubtedly support
economic stabilization. Notably, this model is positively in line with the restricted
conditions during the COVID-19 outbreak (Anshari et al., 2021a). However, business
actors should improve connectivity-derived services via technology and the internet in
order to add more value to the successful implementation of CBE. Considering today's
consumers are more complex, the COVID-19 economic turbulence has resulted in a
severe bankruptcy storm for business areas worldwide (Hamdan et al., 2020). Hence,
the study aims to identify the potential and opportunities of CBE, which will be
explained in detail in this study. The determinants of the successful adoption of CBE
remain complex. Therefore, our framework allows us to assess the extent of concerns
about CBE opportunities and the potential for accelerating economic recovery during
the pandemic COVID-19. In addition, CBE requires new regulations, and Asian
nations must actively take part in rule-setting in order to achieve economic benefits.
CBE can also provide new opportunities for local businesses where it can reach beyond
their borders. 
Is Big Data a Disruptive Innovation to RCEP?
Authors: Amsal Ares Albirru
Published: January 2023

Big data does not only revolve around how much storage is needed for data,
but rather its capability of assisting in many areas, such as economics, healthcare,
educational institutions and others. Big data has a lot of potential to increase
international trade. As the most significant free-trade agreement, the Regional
Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) can utilise big data and related
technologies to create fair and mutually beneficial trade. With the main characteristics
of volume, variety, and velocity, big data provides strategic advantages for businesses
that use it. The data can be processed using descriptive, diagnostics, predictive and
prescriptive analytics. However, not all RCEP members have the same level of data
processing capability. Therefore, this study examines how RCEP members utilise big
data by extracting data from secondary sources. The results showed that each of the
RCEP members’ IT development also varies, and so does the use of big data.
Therefore, decision-makers need to resolve issues related to data utilisation, especially
in terms of digital literacy, security, and privacy. 
Empowering The Underprivileged Community through Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Authors: Ibrahim Fahmi , Haji Rahman Dayangku Rodzi Pengiran
Published: January 2023

There is increasing awareness of being socially responsible and the need to
address social problems involving various key stakeholders in the public and private
sectors, the corporate world and businesses, as well as the community. With social
issues experienced globally, such as introducing diversity in society and eradicating
poverty, it is imperative to use social innovation to improve or replace the way things
are currently done. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the impact of social
innovation on entrepreneurship as a way of providing stable income to underprivileged
and unemployed segments and youth. It discusses key elements that support the
development of entrepreneurship to ensure sustainability and growth, to ensure the
underprivileged segment and youth will continue to earn income, thus reducing
reliance on welfare assistance support. The research was conducted based on interviews
and observation methods. Two significant projects were investigated that employed the
social innovation model, how they were applied, and the implications to the society that
participated in these projects. These include the processes, the role of individuals and
the collective action of key strategic stakeholders in managing and structuring the
programmes. We conclude with the importance of entrepreneurship in driving
economic growth and empowering the targeted segment, such as the underprivileged,
through entrepreneurship to provide employment and sustainable income.
Recommendations include: managing social issues, uncover the importance of social
inclusivity, introducing social innovation to develop individuals and drive economic
growth, involvement of all parties from the public and private sectors, as well as nonprofit and non-government organisations to expand the initiatives to include those who
are entitled to receive the support.

Representation of historical memory in social network communities
Authors: Dzihora Kyryl
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the representation of historical memory in social network communities. The purpose of this study is to identify current trends in some aspects of historical memory on social media. The study has been conducted on the three most popular networks in Ukraine, namely: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube. A comprehensive approach with the application of specialized software has been used for data collection. 468 communities from three social networks, the topics of which correspond to the search queries “Історія України”, “История Украины”, “History of Ukraine”, “Історія села”, “СCСР”, have been studied. The analysis of the obtained data has revealed that some groups formed a new category of educational groups. Further processing of the data has shown that groups often aim to break myths and promote “correct” history. Another category of groups is focused on the problem of preserving historical memory at the local level or the history of a particular industry. These trends demonstrate that social network communities are an indirect state of historical memory at the societal level, which, in turn, confirms Jameson’s thesis of the “New Historicism” of “installing historical attractions” and resisting theory.

The article is devoted to the study of political communication, inscribed into the new sociocultural and political systems of relations, into the wartime conditions. It has been proven that information media and network communications not only influence the behavior of social subjects, but can also destroy ideas about order, justice, and morality if they are exposed to the propaganda technologies of an aggressive state. In the structure of information influence, propaganda plays a decisive role, its task is to spread ideas and views, true or half-true facts, outright lies or rumors with the aim of manipulating public consciousness. The special relevance of this problem in the context of information support of the actions of the Russian authorities during Russia’s war against Ukraine is emphasized.

Published: January 2023

Background

In recent decades, stress-related disorders have received more attention, with an increasing prevalence, especially within the working population. The internet provides new options for broad dissemination, and a growing body of evidence suggests that web-based interventions for stress might be effective. However, few studies have examined the efficacy of interventions in clinical samples and work-related outcomes.

Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an internet-based cognitive behavioral intervention for stress-related disorders integrating work-related aspects (work-focused and internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy [W-iCBT]), compared with a generic internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) group and a waitlist control (WLC) group.

Methods

In this trial, 182 employees, mainly employed in the health care, IT, or educational sector, who fulfilled the criteria for a stress-related disorder, were randomized to a 10-week W-iCBT (n=61, 33.5%), generic iCBT (n=61, 33.5%), or WLC (n=60, 33%). Self-rated questionnaires on perceived stress, burnout, exhaustion, and other mental health– and work-related outcomes were administered before and after the treatment and at 6- and 12-month follow-ups.

Results

Compared with the WLC group, participants of the W-iCBT and iCBT groups showed an equal and significant reduction in the primary outcome (Shirom-Melamed Burnout Questionnaire [SMBQ]) from pretreatment to posttreatment assessment (Cohen d=1.00 and 0.83, respectively) and at the 6-month follow-up (Cohen d=0.74 and 0.74, respectively). Significant moderate-to-large effect sizes were also found in the secondary health- and work-related outcomes. The W-iCBT was the only group that exhibited significant effects on work ability and short-term sickness absence. Short-term sickness absence was 445 days lower than the WLC group and 324 days lower than the iCBT intervention group. However, no significant differences were found in terms of work experience or long-term sick leave.

Conclusions

The work-focused and generic iCBT interventions proved to be superior compared with the control condition in reducing chronic stress and several other mental health–related symptoms. Interestingly, effects on work ability and short-term sickness absence were only seen between the W-iCBT intervention and the WLC groups. These preliminary results are promising, indicating that treatments that include work aspects may have the potential to accelerate recovery and reduce short-term sickness absence because of stress-related disorders.

Genetic Algorithm Based Optimization Model for Time-Cost Trade-Off for Construction Project
Authors: Sharma Deepak , Tiwari Dr. Sanjay
Published: January 2023

Abstract: The main cause of gradual development of project management is the necessity of controlling and optimizing the construction project’s objectives. In planning phase of construction project management, some objectives of proposed project are required to be set as per stakeholder’s perspective. Time and cost are of paramount importance objectives of construction project, which vary due to variation in the resource utilization amount. High-cost resources and advance technologies reduce the project time but make the project cost higher. While low-cost resources and traditional technologies give lower project cost but increase the project time. Basically, a construction project is said to be successful if it is completed in minimum possible time and cost. Therefore, the two fundamental goals of any building project are to do it as quickly and inexpensively as possible. The development of time-cost trade-off models has received a lot of focus. However, in addition to a wide range of approaches for time-cost trade-off (TCT) models, this work offers a TCT model based on a genetic algorithm. This model was created in a way that makes it easier to find the best approaches to complete the project on time and for the lowest possible cost. The applicability of proposed TCT model is demonstrated through solving two practically existing construction project. Outcomes of proposed model were found satisfactory based on statistical analysis.
Overlapped grouping measurement: A unified framework for measuring quantum states
Authors: Wu Bujiao , Sun Jinzhao , Huang Qi , Yuan Xiao
Published: January 2023

Quantum algorithms designed for realistic quantum many-body systems, such as chemistry and materials, usually require a large number of measurements of the Hamiltonian. Exploiting different ideas, such as importance sampling, observable compatibility, or classical shadows of quantum states, different advanced measurement schemes have been proposed to greatly reduce the large measurement cost. Yet, the underline cost reduction mechanisms seem distinct from each other, and how to systematically find the optimal scheme remains a critical challenge. Here, we address this challenge by proposing a unified framework of quantum measurements, incorporating advanced measurement methods as special cases. Our framework allows us to introduce a general scheme – overlapped grouping measurement, which simultaneously exploits the advantages of most existing methods. An intuitive understanding of the scheme is to partition the measurements into overlapped groups with each one consisting of compatible measurements. We provide explicit grouping strategies and numerically verify its performance for different molecular Hamiltonians with up to 16 qubits. Our numerical result shows significant improvements over existing schemes. Our work paves the way for efficient quantum measurement and fast quantum processing with current and near-term quantum devices.
Entre el servicio y el beneficio. Desempeño y prácticas habituales entre los capitanes protectores de la Sierra Gorda novohispana, 1590-1680
Authors: Sánchez Muñoz David Alejandro , Lara Cisneros Gerardo
Published: January 2023

La expansión hispana hacia los territorios septentrionales de América causó una larga y hostil confrontación con las sociedades nativas que ahí habitaban. Estos conflictos, conocidos como guerra Chichimeca, cesaron mayormente en la década de 1590. Para alcanzar y mantener la pacificación de estas zonas, fue decisivo el papel de los capitanes protectores, responsables de que los indios permanecieran asentados, recibiendo justicia y suministros para su manutención, mientras asimilaban las formas civiles y cristianas. Este artículo pretende mostrar, de manera general, el origen de este cargo en el norte de Nueva España y en particular en la zona de la Sierra Gorda, hasta 1680, destacando los continuos ajustes por los que atravesó, hasta un momento en que su desempeño cayó en cierta decadencia. Mediante ello, quedará manifiesta una creciente brecha entre las obligaciones propias del oficio y su práctica.

Authors: Cunill Caroline
Published: January 2023

El presente artículo analiza a los abogados que representaron a pobres, esclavos e indios en los pleitos ventilados ante el Consejo de Indias y la Audiencia de la Nueva España en el siglo XVI. Se esclarece el contexto histórico, las motivaciones políticas y los argumentos que pueden explicar por qué la Corona española decidió nombrar a oficiales encargados de representar a determinados sectores de la población en sus tribunales. También se pone de manifiesto cómo los elementos teóricos y las experiencias circularon y dieron lugar a procesos paralelos de nombramiento de abogados de pobres, esclavos e indios en el Consejo de Indias y la Audiencia de México. El estudio se fundamenta en la normativa real, los nombramientos, las cartas de pago otorgadas a los abogados y las probanzas de méritos elaboradas por los titulares. Se toman en cuenta, asimismo, varios pleitos en que intervinieron para comprender cómo aquellos actores se repartían los negocios americanos.

CONTINUITY AND DISCONTINUITY OF GENDER-NATURE RELATIONS IN DH LAWRENCE'S 'THE WOMAN WHO RODE AWAY'
Authors: Winarti  , Kusuma Sari Anindhiasti Ayu , Mayangseto Ginarsiwi , Istiqomah Fitria Naimatul
Published: January 2023

Oppressions of nature and gender are two things that are interrelated. Both require a struggle that leads to the liberation of nature and women called ecofeminism. The Gender-nature relations can be found in literary works as reflections of the reality that surrounds the author. Through literary works, issues related to gender and nature are raised by the author as a form of ecofeminist struggle, that all forms of damage done by humans to nature will have an impact on the preservation of nature in the future. The objective of this study was to find out the continuity and discontinuity between nature and gender as part of the ecofeminism discourse in the short story The Woman Who Rode Away written by DH Lawrence. The method used to collect data was observation through close reading to both the story, as the primary data source, and other texts from journals and reference books as the secondary data sources. The result shows that the narratives of ecofeminism are evident in the fiction. The story tells the position of men as the masters in nature who have the power over all things. The depiction of male characters as the figures who tend to oppress women becomes a part of discontinuity toward nature in the story. This is different from the depiction of the female character who is considered as a caretaker of nature and is able to build a continuity of harmonious relationship between human and nature. In conclusion, the story reflects unbalanced relationships between gender and nature.
In which patients with heart failure should ablation of atrial fibrillation not be performed?
Authors: Hachiya Hitoshi
Published: January 2023

Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with heart
failure associated with a reduced EF (HFrEF) was associated with a
significantly lower rate of a composite endpoint of death from any cause
or hospitalization for worsening heart failure (HF) than medical therapy
in the CASTLE-AF trial. In patients with HF and also with a preserved EF
(HFpEF), AF is known to be associated with increased mortality. Although
the particular benefit in patients with an EF >35% may
suggest the need for prospective randomized control trial data in
patients with HF to assess the role of ablation as a first-line therapy
as Sessions AJ, et al. stated, we believe at present that 1) whether
there is structural heart disease detected by cardiac images and 2)
whether the left atrial voltage is generally low, should be assessed
“before ablation” in each patient with HF to achieve a successful
ablation.

Aim: This research aimed to study the association of drug interactions
and sociodemographic, clinical, and functional characteristics in
nonagenarians with hyperpolypharmacy. Methods: This was a secondary
analysis of an evaluation performed by the Multiprofessional Care for
the Oldest-old Project in 2016, with participants identified with
hyperpolypharmacy. Results: Results revealed that 69% of 29
participants had at least one major drug interaction, 41% had 10 or
more moderate interactions, and 59% had minor interactions. The study
revealed significant relationships for major drug interactions with the
characteristics of recurrent urinary tract infections, anxiety, and
palpitations. The study found near significance for white color, not
good general health and appetite, depression, and impaired cognition.
For moderate drug interaction, findings showed a relationship near
significance for females, perception of not good general health and
appetite, hypertension, diabetes, urinary infection, depression scale
change, agitation, pain, fatigue, and a fear of falling. For minor drug
interactions, the study revealed significant findings for an association
with depression, and apathy or sleepiness. There were findings near
significance for an association with white color, diabetes, agitation,
pain, fatigue, and cough. Conclusion: Drug interactions are highly
prevalent among nonagenarians with hyperpolypharmacy, with clinical and
quality of life impact. Thus they must be constantly evaluated for the
presence of drug interactions at all levels of care, whether in primary
care or in specialized care. A study with larger sample size and
longitudinal contour is proposed to prove the importance of our
observations.

Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Diagnostic mIBG (meta-iodobenzylguanidine) scans
are an integral component of response assessment in children with
high-risk neuroblastoma. The role of end of induction (EOI) Curie Scores
(CS) was previously described in patients undergoing a single autologous
hematopoietic cell transplant (AHCT) as consolidation therapy.
OBJECTIVE: We now examine the prognostic significance of CS in
patients randomized to tandem AHCT on the Children’s Oncology Group
(COG) trial ANBL0532. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective analysis of
mIBG scans obtained from patients enrolled in COG ANBL0532 was
performed. Evaluable patients had mIBG-avid, International Neuroblastoma
Staging System (INSS) stage 4 disease, did not progress during induction
therapy, consented to consolidation randomization, and received a tandem
AHCT (n=80). Optimal CS cut points maximized the outcome difference (≤
vs >CS cut-off) according to the Youden index.
RESULTS: For recipients of tandem AHCT, the optimal cut point
at diagnosis was CS=12, with superior EFS from study enrollment for
patients with CS<12 (3-year EFS 74.2±7.9%) vs
CS>12 (59.2±7.1%) (p=0.002). At EOI, the optimal cut point
was CS=0, with superior end-induction EFS for patients with CS=0
(72.9±6.4%) vs CS>0 (46.5±9.1%) (p=0.002).
CONCLUSION: In the setting of tandem transplantation for
children with high-risk neuroblastoma, Curie scores at diagnosis and
end-induction may identify a more favorable patient group. Patients
treated with tandem AHCT who exhibited a CS<12 at diagnosis or
CS=0 at EOI had superior EFS compared to those with CS above these cut
points.
Gas-Phase Formation of Grignard-type Organolanthanide(III) Ions RLnCl3-: the Influences of Lanthanide Center and Hydrocarbyl Group
Authors: Yang Meixian , Xiong Zhixin , Li Yangjuan , Chen xiuting , Zhou Wei

Rationale: The fundamental understanding of Grignard-type
organolanthanides(III) is still in its infancy. Decarboxylation of metal
carboxylate ions is a powerful method to obtain organometallic ions
which are well suited for gas-phase investigation by using ESI-MS in
combination with DFT calculations. Methods： (RCO2)LnCl3- (R = CH3, Ln =
La-Lu except Pm; Ln = La, R = CH3CH2, CH2CH, CHC, C6H5 and C6H11) ions
were produced via ESI of LnCl3 and RCO2H/RCO2Na in methanol.
Collision-induced dissociation (CID) was employed to examine whether
RLnCl3- can be obtained via decarboxylation of (RCO2)LnCl3-. With the
aid of DFT calculations, the influences of Ln and R on the formation of
RLnCl3- can be uncovered. Results: When R was fixed as methyl, CID of
(CH3CO2)LnCl3- (Ln = La-Lu except Pm) all gave (CH3)LnCl3- and LnCl3·-
with a variation in the relative intensity ratio of (CH3)LnCl3-/LnCl3·-.
The trend is following as (CH3)EuCl3-/EuCl3·- <
(CH3)YbCl3-/YbCl3·- ≈ (CH3)SmCl3-/SmCl3·- < other
(CH3)LnCl3-/LnCl3·-, which generally complies with the trend of
Ln(III)/Ln(II) reduction potentials. When Ln was fixed as La and R
groups were varied as CH3CH2, CH2CH, CHC, C6H5 and C6H11, the
fragmentation behaviors of these (RCO2)LaCl3- are diverse. Except for
(C6H11CO2)LaCl3-, the rest four (RCO2)LaCl3- ions all underwent
decarboxylation to give RLaCl3-. The relative intensities of RLaCl3-
compared to (RCO2)LaCl3- decrease as follow: CHC > CH2CH
> C6H5 > CH3 > CH3CH2
>> C6H11 (not visible). Conclusion： A series
of Grignard-type organolanthanide(III) ions RLnCl3- (R = CH3, Ln = La-Lu
except Pm; Ln = La, R = CH3CH2, CH2CH, CHC and C6H5) were generated from
(RCO2)LnCl3- via CO2 loss while (C6H5)LaCl3- not. The experimental and
theoretical results suggest that the reduction potentials of
Ln(III)/Ln(II) couples as well as the bulkiness and hybridization of
hydrocarbyl groups play crucial roles in promoting or limiting the
formation of RLnCl3- via decarboxylation.

Ocular Consultation in Headache-A Prerequisite or an Absolute Necessity?
Authors: R Kaiti
Published: January 2023

A vast majority of cause of headaches are ocular, prime cause being neurological. Therefore, eye care practitioners are often the first physicians to evaluate, manage or if needed refer to designated department and specialty, the patients with headaches, eye pain, and headache-associated visual disturbances. Refractive error, oculomotor anomalies and ocular diseases contribute to headache and hence these causes need to be ruled out before going for expensive, invasive and time-consuming investigation. Health care professionals should always be generous in referring the patients to fellow physician, optometrist, ophthalmologist or any other specialists as per necessity.
Multifocal ERG Changes as an Indicator for Short-Term Outcome after Intravitreal Injection of Ranibizumab in Treatment of Diabetic Macular Oedema
Authors: H Ziada
Published: January 2023

Background: compared to laser photocoagulation, intra vitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors (Anti VEGFs) have more desirable results and fewer complications. Study of this issue by multifocal electroretinogram (mf-ERG) revealed significant improvement in macular function associated with decreased retinal thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and improvement of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Purpose: To study the role of multifocal Electroretinogram in the follow up of diabetic macular edema after intravitreal injection Ranibizumab and study its correlation to visual acuity and optical coherence tomography changes. Methods: A non-randomized prospective study was carried out from February 2018 to August 2018 on 32 eyes of patients with diffuse or focal DME without macular ischemia. The patients were selected from the outpatient ophthalmology clinic of Al-Hussein University hospital. The patients were injected intravitreally by Ranibizumab 0.5mg/0.05mL at baseline, 1 and 3 months. In this study we assessed pre and post-injection BCVA, IOP measurement by applanation tonometer, OCT and multifocal ERG changes over 3 months. Results: log MAR BCVA improved from (0.88±0.12) preoperatively to (0.53±0.18) at the end of the 3rd month, with P-value <0.001. Central subfield thickness 1 mm improved from (408.73±79.40µm) preoperatively to (224.33±32.49µm) at the end of the 3rd month, while para and peri-foveal thickness improved from (402±46.52µm) preoperatively to (286.30±32.67µm) at the end of the 3rd month, with P-value <0.001. P1 amplitude in ring 1 using MF-ERG improved from (33.08±10.59 nv/deg2) preoperatively to (58.30±32.67 nv/deg2) at the end of the 3rd month, with P-value<0.001. P1 amplitude in ring 2 using MFERG improved from (18.82±5.01 nv/deg2) preoperatively to (26.36±3.006 nv/deg2) at the end of the 3rd month, with P-value in the 1st month <0.05, while in the 3rd month <0.001. P1 implicit time in ring 1 using MF-ERG improved from (78.65±12.37 ms) preoperatively to (63.78±15.73 ms) at the end of the 3rd month, with P-value in the 1st month <0.05, while in the 3rd month <0.001. P1 implicit time in ring 2 using MF-ERG improved from (48.81±6.44 ms) to (44.39±4.06 ms) at the end of the 3rd month, with P-value in the 1st and 3rd months <0.05. Complications during follow up of patients especially 1week after injection were relatively uncommon, including mild subconjunctival haemorrhage in 1 eye (3.3%) and transient increase of IOP in 4 eyes (13.33%). Conclusion: Intravitreal injection of Ranibizumab resulted in improvement of macular function in study patients with diabetic macular edema. Postoperative improvement in visual acuity was accompanied by decreased retinal thickness measured by OCT and improvement of P1 amplitude in the central ring measured by MF-ERG.
Facial Masking and Effects on Ocular Health: A Review
Authors: CM Milliken
Published: January 2023

It has been over a year since the United States began to feel the effects of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. In response, many daily practices in the administration of healthcare have changed. Perhaps the most visible of these changes is the widespread use of facial masks to prevent transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. While COVID-19 has documented direct ocular effects, there is increasing interest surrounding the effects of preventative facial masking on ocular health. This review summarizes the major impacts of masking in several domains, in an attempt to better characterize new threats to ocular health.
Spontaneous Regression of a Thymoma with Mild Pleural Effusion: A Case Report
Authors: Alnassar Abdulaziz
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Spontaneous regression of a thymoma is an unusual and rare phenomenon witnessed across the field of thoracic medicine. Presentation of Case: A 33-year-old man presented with persistent right shoulder pain and shortness of breath which started 1 month prior to hospital visit. Computed tomography of the chest was done which showed an 11.0 cm anterior mediastinal mass with bilateral pleural effusion. The man refused surgery and was discharged without any treatment. 7 months later upon evaluation, the mass had regressed more than 70% of its size with subsequent disappearance of the pleural effusion. Right thoracoscopic thymectomy was performed safely without complications. Post thymectomy, the surgical pathology report and analysis of the specimen was consistent with the diagnosis of thymoma. Clinical Discussion: Our reported case is an unusual example of a large thymoma undergoing spontaneous regression over time without any therapy provided. Previous studies have reported similar phenomena with limited insight towards the understanding of such an event. Thymomas are eventually managed by surgical resection which remains the preferred modality of treatment, most commonly via thoracoscopy consistent with our case along with past reports. Conclusion: Spontaneous regression of thymomas is widely unwitnessed in practice, thus, recognition of this rare occurrence could provide further insight in disease outcomes.
Valoración de la sostenibilidad del sistema de riego localizado de alta frecuencia del minidistrito de riego ASOLABELLA, Municipio de Pereira
Authors: Echeverri Sánchez Andrés , Sanchez Torres Luis Dario , Viafara  Vergara Christian Ariel
Published: January 2023

En este estudio se valoraron los factores de sostenibilidad en el minidistrito de riego de la Bella del municipio de Pereira-Colombia que emplea el método de riego localizado de alta frecuencia (RLAF). El estudio se fundamentó en la identificación y la valoración de factores e indicadores que inciden en la sostenibilidad en sistemas RLAF a escala real. La valoración de los factores de la sostenibilidad se realizó por medio de un análisis multicriterio (AHP) y el proceso estadístico de agrupación de intervalos que permitió definir cinco niveles de valoración de la sostenibilidad de cada predio después del análisis multicriterio. Los resultados muestran que los factores que más contribuyen a la sostenibilidad de los sistemas que emplean RLAF, son la rentabilidad y la calidad del agua. Los factores limitantes para la sostenibilidad fueron la disponibilidad de agua y la operación del sistema RLAF, debido al conflicto entre la oferta y la demanda en épocas secas y la ausencia de conocimientos técnicos para establecer las reglas de operación para la aplicación de caudales y seguir una guía de operación y mantenimiento de los sistemas RLAF. El estudio permitió estimar un nivel de sostenibilidad moderado para los sistemas RLAF de ASOLABELLA.

Authors: Barros Rita , Monteiro Angélica , Moreira J. António
Published: January 2023

Pretende analisar a relação entre a aprendizagem, com base na apropriação que os estudantes fazem das diferentes formas de aprender e de estudar, e a disposição que apresentam para se envolver em atividades de aprendizagem ao longo da vida (ALV). O rationale teórico inscreve-se na Teoria de Biggs (1987), no que concerne às abordagens de aprendizagem por parte do estudante, e no princípio orientador da ALV. Procedemos a um estudo comparativo-correlacional, com uma amostra constituída por 163 estudantes do ensino superior. As abordagens de aprendizagem foram avaliadas por meio da tradução luso-portuguesa da validação brasileira da escala Revised Two-factor Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F). Os resultados obtidos permitem-nos associar a abordagem profunda a algumas características do aprendiz ao longo da vida.
