REAL OPTIONS AND PRODUCTIVE RECONVERSION BY LOW-INCOME PRODUCERS: THE CASE OF HIBISCUS IN GUERRERO, MEXICO
Authors: Arana-Coronado José Jaime , Hernández-Ruíz Estefanía , García-Sánchez Roberto Carlos , Mondragón-Hernández Roxana
Published: February 2024

The growing demand for value-added agrifood products, combined with a changing economic environment and greater uncertainty, requires the application of flexible valuation methods that reflect the real value of an asset in the face of changes in investment. The objective of this study is to determine the impact of hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) price volatility on the decision to carry out a productive reconversion by low-income farmers who conventionally grow hibiscus in association with maize. It is stated that the producer will have greater incentives and will opt for a productive reconversion as the volatility of conventional hibiscus prices increases. This study was conducted in the state of Guerrero, Mexico, in 2020. Information on prices, yields, production, and harvesting costs was obtained from databases and interviews with producers. The interviews were conducted using the focus group method, while the binomial method was used to apply the option theory. The results revealed that the productive reconversion was profitable in no less than seven years. Additionally, a variation in volatility from 0.15 to 0.30 increased the likelihood of conventional hibiscus producers facing low prices by 27 to 44 %, improving the incentive to adopt a higher-quality production system. Therefore, it is confirmed that the real options theory is sufficiently flexible to model the impact of price volatility on producer investment decisions, in addition to providing a better understanding of low-income producers’ decisions to implement a productive reconversion system.

Fake News on digital platforms is a major problem in this digital age. Many people want to find methods to detect Fake News. This research looks at a way to group Fake News articles using K-Means and Agglomerative Clustering techniques, using the semantic representations from Word2Vec embeddings. The researchers use natural language translation methods and advanced machine learning to improve the accuracy and efficiency of Fake News detection. The study involves getting meaningful features from textual data, turning them into vector representations using Word2Vec, and then applying clustering algorithms to sort similar articles. The methodology aims to improve the most recent state of the art in Fake News detection, helping to create more reliable and robust tools to fight misinformation in the digital age, In the comparative analysis of clustering metrics, K-Means clustering exhibits a Purity Score of 88.09% and an Adjusted Rand Score of 58.03%. Conversely, Agglomerative Clustering with the Ward method yields a Purity Score of 85.13% and an Adjusted Rand Score of 49.36%.The Purity Score of 88.09% for K-Means suggests a strong ability to form clusters where the majority of data points share the same true class. Agglomerative Clustering with Ward, though slightly lower at 85.13%, also demonstrates effective class separation within clusters. When considering the Adjusted Rand Score, which accounts for chance and measures the agreement between true and predicted labels, K-Means significantly outperforms Agglomerative Clustering with Ward. The scores are 58.03% and 49.36%, respectively

Every child has different potential, interests, and talents. A gifted child whose potential is optimized and well-stimulated can become one of the quality human resources that a country possesses, compared to a child who does not receive appropriate stimulation. Stimulation refers to various stimuli, such as play opportunities, learning facilities, or materials (such as stories or readings), which can trigger a child to learn or process teachings. Optimal is the highest condition in which someone or something can be done without damaging the existing elements. Potential is specific things that exist in a child, which appear more compared to their peers. Interest is a strong drive for someone to do everything they desire. Meanwhile, talent is a fundamental quality, skill, and disposition that is present from birth. Talent itself can be interpreted as a person's basic ability to learn in a relatively short time compared to others, yet the results are actually better. In short, this is the potential that someone has as a natural gift from birth.

Authors: Babu M Dinesh , Kushwaha Bijay Prasad
Published: February 2024

This research endeavours to analyze the correlation between transformational leadership and innovative performance within the IT industry in India. It aims to explore whether the prevailing organizational culture influences this correlation. The data for this study was obtained through a comprehensive survey conducted in the Indian IT sector. The participants for the survey were employees working in the IT sector in Tamil Nadu state of India. The findings of this study illustrate that transformational leadership has a positive influence on the innovative performance of individuals. Moreover, the relationship between transformational leadership and innovative performance is moderated by the organizational culture, particularly through the mechanisms of idealized influence and inspirational motivation. These findings have the potential to inspire managers in the Indian IT sector to effectively motivate their subordinates. Furthermore, this study contributes to the existing body of research by offering empirical evidence of the relationship between transformational leadership and innovation in the context of the Indian IT industry.

Mathematical forecasting simulation of salinity intrusion in Chao Phraya River
Authors: Kulmart Khemisara , Charoenroongruang Chamnan
Published: February 2024

At present, at two water stations along Chao Phraya River, the main river of the central region of Thailand, the salinity in the river exceeds the raw water salinity standard for tap water production that must be lower than 0.25 g/L. During December to May, since 2013, the salinity value exceeded the raw water standard, strongly affecting the raw water management of Metropolitan Waterworks Authority. Surveillance and prediction of salinity level at the river mouth at Klong Lat Pho Water Quality Monitoring Station, downriver from Sam Lae station, in advance, will be beneficial to the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority’s raw water management. The purpose of this study was to forecast the hourly salinity levels at Khlong Lat Pho Water Quality Monitoring Station. The methods used were Exponential Smoothing and Winter’s Linear and Seasonal and Exponential Smoothing (EXPOW). Both forecasting methods showed a very low mean of square error (MSE): 0.1551 when the exponential smoothing method was used with alpha= 0.9995 and 0.4869 when the EXPOW was used with alpha = 0.0618, gamma = 0.9995, and beta = 0. 0001. Nevertheless, the exponential smooth method fell out of favor since, for long-term prediction, its predicted value converged to a constant value, 0.2405, useless for predicting seasonal variation. On the other hand, the EXPOW method, even though less effective in terms of MSE, produced more reliable short and long-term forecasts for salinity at Khlong Lad Pho Water Quality Monitoring Station.

Published: February 2024

Modern energy systems are complex multi-component systems that use mechanical, thermal, and electrical energy. As fossil fuel reserves decline, interest in renewable energy sources is growing everywhere, which is driving research into biogas production technologies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate technological approaches to reduce resource costs to produce renewable energy sources from organic waste (manure) from pig farms. This study employed the bibliographic method of research, laboratory method, biochemical methods (determination of the chemical composition of manure and wastewater), statistical, mathematical (calculation of economic efficiency), multicriteria analysis, and analytical method. Based on the conducted research, a resource-saving technology for the preparation of wastewater for use in the production of renewable energy in industrial pork production was developed, which ensures a reduction in capital and operating costs for biogas generation. It was found that the settling of the initial wastewater with a moisture content of 96.94±0.18% produces a sediment with a moisture content of 91.23±0.25% and a liquid fraction with a moisture content of 98.86±0.42%. At the same time, the organic matter in the sediment extracted from the original wastewater is about 87%, and in the liquid fraction – about 98% of the dry matter. The technological process includes centrifugal and gravity separation of the initial wastewater into fractions (sediment and liquid fraction), gravitational thickening of the sediment and its dosing for methane digestion to produce biogas. It was shown that the application of the proposed approaches can reduce capital investments by about 30%. Based on the multicriteria analysis, it was found that the proposed biogas production technology has a significant advantage in terms of the complex efficiency indicator of each of the considered options N(Ck) compared to the idealised one. For this technology, the objective function is the smallest according to the criteria considered and amounts to 0.1672, while the objective function of the baseline technology is 1.9 times worse. The findings of the study on the use of livestock by-products for resource-saving biogas production are planned to be used at pork production complexes and farms

Diferentes fatores de risco psicossociais antecedem o estresse no trabalho e comprometem a saúde dos trabalhadores. Esta pesquisa identificou características do trabalho  de docentes do ensino superior brasileiros na pandemia de Covid-19, capazes de influenciar no desenvolvimento do estresse. Realizou-se uma pesquisa quantitativa com 203 docentes de instituições públicas e privadas de diferentes estados do Brasil. Aplicou-se um questionário de dados socioprofissionais e a Job Stress Scale (versão adaptada ao português). Aspectos do trabalho dos participantes se destacaram, como exigência de trabalhar intensamente, com rapidez, necessidade de uso de habilidades e conhecimentos específicos para o desenvolvimento de suas tarefas. Os participantes possuem percepção de alta demanda de trabalho (60%), alto controle e autonomia em suas tarefas (64%) e alto apoio social (53%). Houve percepção de aumento da carga de trabalho durante a pandemia (68%). A análise possibilitou incluir 39% da amostra no quadrante ativo do modelo teórico utilizado. O trabalho ativo pode ser indicativo de que, apesar das características e demandas do trabalho docente na pandemia, o alto controle sobre suas atividades laborais, aliado ao apoio social podem atenuar fatores que levam ao estresse no trabalho. Os achados desta pesquisa permitem refletir e subsidiar práticas que proporcionem saúde aos docentes.

Background and aims– The forests of the Congo Basin contain high levels of biodiversity, and are globally important for carbon storage. In order to design effective conservation strategies, and to accurately model carbon stocks, a fine-scale understanding of the different forest types that make up this forest block is needed. MonodominantGilbertiodendron dewevreiforest covers large areas of the Congo Basin, but it is currently unclear whether it is sufficiently distinct from adjacent mixed terre firme forest to warrant separate treatment for conservation planning and carbon calculations. This study aimed to compare the structure and diversity of monodominant and mixed forest, and ask whether there is a unique vascular plant community associated withG. dewevreiforest.

Material and methods– We utilised a combination of plot data and herbarium specimens collected in the Sangha Trinational (a network of protect areas in Cameroon, Central African Republic, and the Republic of Congo). Plot inventories were used to compareG. dewevreiforest and mixed forest for stem density, basal area, above ground biomass, stem size distribution, species diversity, and species composition. In addition, a database of 3,557 herbarium specimens was used to identify species of vascular plant that are associated withG. dewevreiforest.

Key results–Gilbertiodendron dewevreiforest is distinct in both structure and species composition from mixed forest.Gilbertiodendron dewevreiforest has a lower stem number (of trees ≥ 10 cm), but a greater proportion of larger trees (> 70 cm), suggesting higher carbon stocks. The species composition is distinct from mixed forest, with 56 species of vascular plant significantly associated withG. dewevreiforest.

Conclusion– MonodominantG. dewevreiforest in the Sangha Trinational is both compositionally and structurally distinct from mixed forest. We therefore recommend this forest type be considered separately from mixed forest for conservation planning and carbon stock calculations.
Approach to mediastinal masses: a comparison of open surgery and uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery techniques
Authors: Gülmez Gönül , Hasdiraz Leyla , Önal Ömer
Published: February 2024

Aims: This study aimed to compare perioperative and postoperative outcomes in patients who underwent uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (U-VATS) and open surgery for mediastinal mass resection.
Methods: A total of 62 patients who underwent mediastinal mass resection in the Thoracic Surgery Clinic were included. The patients were separated into the open surgery group (n=30) and the U-VATS group (n=32). The groups were compared in terms of perioperative and postoperative outcomes including operative time, blood loss, chest tube removal time, drainage volume, pain, and hospital stay.
Results: The distributions of age and gender were similar between the groups. Median operation time (120 vs. 180 minutes, P < 0.001), median intraoperative blood loss (50 vs. 100 mL, P < 0.001), median time of chest drain removal (4 vs. 6 days, P < 0.001) and median postoperative drainage volumes were lower in the U-VATS group than the open surgery group. The U-VATS group exhibited a lower VAS score, return time to daily activity (1 vs. 4 days, P < 0.001) and length of hospital stay (4 vs. 6 days, P < 0.001). A postoperative myasthenic crisis was not observed in all cases. One thymoma patient in the open surgery group had a recurrence, but not in the U-VATS group.
Conclusion: The U-VATS approach had better intraoperative safety and lower postoperative outcomes than open surgery. U-VATS, which has the potential to enhance postoperative recovery and quality of life, may be a safe and effective treatment option for patients with mediastinal mass resection.

Published: February 2024

Aim: Investigation of the effects of cataract surgery on quality of life and sleep in geriatric patient group
Methods: Ninety four patients who were diagnosed with cataract and operated were included. Preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measured with the Snellen chart. Cataract types were divided into 3 categories as nuclear, cortical and posterior subcapsular. The VFQ-25 (vision-related quality of life) questionnaire and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire were administered to the patients before and after the surgery.
Results: One hundred thirty-eight eyes of 94 patients were operated. 45.7% of the patients had nuclear, 16% had cortical, 38.3% had posterior subcapsular cataracts. VFQ 25 questionnaire scores increased from 70.70±3.46 (42-89) to 85.65±7.09 (70-97) postoperatively (p<0.001). While the preoperative Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score of the patients was 8.70±2.99 (2-17), it was 6.26±3.19 (1-17) postoperatively (p<0.001). There was a positive correlation between the increase in postoperative visual acuity (?) and the VFQ 25 questionnaire score increase (?) (r=0.891, p=0.000). ?VFQ 25 and ? PSQI values were higher in patients who underwent bilateral cataract surgery, but this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.199, p=0.808). ?VFQ 25 after posterior subcapsular cataract surgery was greater than nuclear and cortical type. ? PSQI values were similar in nuclear, posterior subcapsular and cortical cataracts.
Conclusion: Geriatric patients with posterior subcapsular cataracts had a higher postoperative vision-dependent quality of life than patients with other cataract types. Cataract surgery has positive effects on sleep quality of geriatric patients, regardless of cataract type and laterality (bilateral/unilateral).
