Benchmarking Measures for the Adaptation of New Irrigation Solutions for Small Farms in Egypt
Authors: Farag Abousrie A. , Pérez-Pérez Juan Gabriel
Published: January 2025

The aim of this study is to construct and validate an expert system to predict the adaptation of irrigation technologies, water-saving strategies, and monitoring tools by small-scale farmers in Egypt. The research investigates the impact of economic, educational, environmental, and social factors on adaptation rates. To build the expert system, extensive knowledge was collected from experts, key concepts were identified, and production rules were created to generate tailored scenarios. These scenarios utilize the empirical cumulative distribution function (ECDF), selecting the scenario with the highest ECDF as the optimal irrigation technology. This approach ensures well-informed, data-driven decisions that are tailored to specific conditions. The expert system was evaluated under the conditions of ten small farms in Egypt. The results indicate that water cost and availability are significant drivers of technology adaptation. Specifically, subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) demonstrated an adaptation percentage of 75% at high water costs, with probabilities of 0.67 and 0.33, while soil mulching (SM) showed a 75% adaptation rate with a probability of 0.33 in high-cost scenarios. Conversely, when water availability was high, the adaptation percentage for all techniques was zero, but it reached 100% adaptation with a probability of 0.76 for SM and SDI and a probability of 1 for variable number of drippers (VND) and the use of sensors as monitoring tools during water shortages. Educational attainment and professional networks enhance the adaptation of advanced technologies and monitoring tools, emphasizing the role of knowledge and community engagement. Environmental conditions, including soil texture and salinity levels, directly affect the choice of irrigation methods and water-saving practices, highlighting the need for localized solutions. The source of irrigation water, whether groundwater or surface water, influences the preference for water-saving technologies. The study underscores the importance of tailored approaches to address the challenges and opportunities faced by small farmers in Egypt, promoting sustainable agriculture and efficient water management. The evaluation findings reveal that SDI is the most favored irrigation technology, with a probability of 0.55, followed by variable number of drippers (VND) at 0.38 and ultralow drip irrigation (ULDI) at 0.07 across various scenarios for small farmers. Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) and SM are equally preferred water-saving strategies, each with a probability of 0.50. Sensors emerged as the preferred monitoring tool, boasting a high probability of 0.94. The analysis reveals the critical roles of economic pressures, educational levels, environmental conditions, and social networks in shaping the adaptation of sustainable agricultural practices.

Authors: Sánchez Dávila Agatha Juliana , Vera Cruz María Cristina , Villacis Londoño Henrry Stalin
Published: January 2025

La imputabilidad y responsabilidad penal de los adolescentes infractores constituye un debate complejo y multifacético que ha generado un amplio consenso a nivel internacional. La presente es una investigación jurídica documental, con enfoque cualitativo de naturaleza descriptiva, con el objetivo de analizar la imputabilidad y responsabilidad penal de los menores en el sistema jurídico ecuatoriano, un conflicto frente a las disposiciones internacionales, cuestionando la ponderación de las medidas legales que se emplean, sin considerar criterios multidisciplinarios como factores biológicos, psicológicos, cognitivos, sociales y emocionales, para evaluar la madurez y responsabilidad de cada individuo. Los resultados revelan que, en Ecuador, aunque se han realizado avances en los últimos años, persisten desafíos estructurales que limitan la implementación plena de un modelo de justicia juvenil centrado en la reinserción social. Llegando a la conclusión que los menores son imputables, y que los criterios sobre la imputabilidad de los adolescentes infractores en Ecuador pueden considerarse como poco fundamentados.

Authors: Cedeño Cobeña Melanie Ashley , Jiménez Zambrano Alisson Damaris , Santana Argandoña Sandro Samuel , Alcívar Toala Marllury Elizabeth
Published: January 2025

La tenencia compartida, es un acuerdo legal que establece que ambos padres tienen la custodia legal de sus hijos menores de edad en igualdad de condiciones. El objetivo es analizar la implementación de la tenencia compartida en el Ecuador como asunto transigible en la mediación. El enfoque del estudio fue cualitativo con la utilización de técnicas de revisión bibliográfica y análisis comparativo de doctrina y normativa jurídica. Los resultados evidencian que, en el contexto de la tenencia de hijos, las partes pueden acordar una tenencia compartida a través de la mediación, respaldado por la voluntariedad a fin de preservar la relación entre padres e hijos y promover soluciones que reflejen sus mejores intereses para con el menor. Se concluye que, si bien la tenencia compartida se puede realizar a petición de las partes por medio de este mecanismo de pacificación, se vuelve indispensable entablar parámetros que ayuden a evitar circunstancias donde se pueda ver violentado el interés superior del menor.

ANALISIS PENGENDALIAN KUALITAS UNTUK MENGURANGI DEFECT PADA PRODUK BENCH LEG (STUDI KASUS DI PT XYZ)
Authors: FAHREZI MUHAMMAD HAGI , Nurtjahyo Herlina K , Lemadi Gayuh
Published: January 2025

PT XYZ is a manufacturing company engaged in the musical instrument manufacturing industry, such as: pianos, etc. One of the supporting components produced by PT XYZ is the bench leg product (legs on a piano bench) where many defective products were still found in January 2024 to March 2024. There were types of deck defects with a total of 1493 defects, 557 bubble defects. pcs, cutter mark defects were 332 pcs, and grooves were 172. Therefore, this research aims to determine the main causes of defects and provide suggestions for improvements to minimize the occurrence of defects. This can be done by carrying out quality control using the seven tools method and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). Data collection techniques use observation, interviews and documentation techniques. The results of this research after data processing and analysis showed that in the Pareto diagram the highest defect was found, namely decoction with a percentage of 60% and became the focus of improvement, and in the P-Chart analysis it was found that the bench leg line production process was still not controlled. After being identified using a fishbone chart, 16 potential causes of deck defects were obtained, followed by FMEA analysis, the results of the Pareto diagram from FMEA showed the largest RPN value with a score of 432, namely FM 4 (Placement of finished good products using shelves and products stacked on top of other products). By finding the root of the problem, a suggestion for improvement that can be made is to replace the shelf for placing the finished good product using a box that is equipped with felt on the surface of the box and sides of the box to minimize collisions, and there is no accumulation of product on top of the product.

A quantidade de agregados finos é determinante na definição do teor de ligante de projeto de uma mistura asfáltica. A dosagem adequada desses materiais pode reduzir os custos de execução dos revestimentos asfálticos, além de melhorar a resistência da mistura às cargas aplicadas e ao desgaste. Assim, este estudo teve como objetivo analisar misturas asfálticas densas dosadas com diferentes teores de agregados finos e avaliar suas propriedades volumétricas e mecânicas. Para isso, foram moldados corpos de prova pelo método Marshall, dosados com dois teores distintos de agregados finos, dentro da Faixa C do DNIT, os quais foram submetidos a ensaios de estabilidade e fluência Marshall, e de resistência à tração por compressão diametral. Os resultados confirmam que o excesso de finos na mistura acarreta no aumento do teor de asfalto, assim como aumenta a deformabilidade e reduz a resistência da mistura asfáltica.

Published: January 2025

O glioblastoma é o tipo mais comum e agressivo de tumor cerebral primário, caracterizado por um crescimento rápido e invasivo que torna o tratamento desafiador e prognóstico ruim. O desenvolvimento desse tipo de tumor é resultado de uma combinação de fatores genéticos e ambientais e compreender esses fatores de risco e predisposição genética é fundamental para melhorar o manejo e tratamento da doença, podendo ser classificado em GBM primário e secundário, com características clínicas e alterações genéticas diferentes. Objetiva-se identificar quais são os fatores de risco associados ao desenvolvimento deste tipo de tumor, quais os genes envolvidos nesse processo e citar as abordagens terapêuticas para a doença. Para tanto, consiste em revisões de artigos científicos sobre a temática abordada, utilizando as bases de dados como o PubMed e Cochrane Library, utilizando estratégias de busca com operadores boleanos. Desse modo, observa-se que a análise dos fatores de risco e o painel genômico pode auxiliar na identificação de subgrupos de pacientes com maior susceptibilidade a essa doença, permitindo uma abordagem individualizada e personalizada, o que permite concluir que os principais fatores de riscos associados ao glioblastoma são a exposição à radiação, seja por tratamento prévio de outras doenças ou ocupacional e histórico familiar que normalmente está associado com alterações genéticas que podem predispor a esse tipo de tumor. Outros fatores de riscos de menor relevância inclui a idade avançada, entre 45 - 70 anos e sexo masculino, apresentando maior prevalência nesse tumor. As abordagens terapêuticas disponiveis no momento, inclui cirurgia, radioterapia, quimioterapia, tratamentos adjuntos e cuidados paliativos. Outrossim, uma nova pesquisa está sendo realizada para um possível tratamento envolvendo o zika vírus.

Augmentation mammaplasty with implants is the second most common plastic surgery performed in Brazil and the most common in the United States. The present research is a retrospective study based on a review of medical records and, subsequently, on the occurrence of intervention through interviews and the application of a results satisfaction questionnaire, the BREAST-Q questionnaire, and a breast augmentation module applied after the first postoperative year. Fifty-four female patients who underwent augmentation mammaplasty with the inclusion of breast implants with a polyurethane and nanotextured surface were included. Objective: To evaluate the satisfaction and quality of life of patients undergoing augmentation mammaplasty with implants with a nanotextured and polyurethane surface. Method: A retrospective study was conducted with 54 women with hypomastia who underwent augmentation mammaplasty with polyurethane surface and nanotextured retroglandular implants. The participants were evaluated postoperatively with a Brazilian version of the BREAST-Q breast augmentation module regarding their quality of life and satisfaction with the outcome of the procedure. Results: In one analysis, the degree of satisfaction of two groups was compared according to each of the questions and for each questionnaire. Conclusions: The use of the BREAST-Q questionnaire as an evaluation tool allowed us to analyze the differences in patient perceptions between two groups of implants and produced reliable and reproducible results on the effectiveness of breast surgery. Overall, the results indicated greater satisfaction among the patients in the polyurethane group than those in the nanotextured group.

A New Product for Soft Sets with its Decision-Making: Soft Gamma-Product
Authors: Sezgin Aslıhan , Şenyiğit Eylül , Luzum Murat
Published: January 2025

Soft sets provide a strong mathematical foundation for managing uncertainty and give creative answers to parametric data challenges. In soft set theory, soft set operations are essential components. The “soft gamma-product,” a novel product operation for soft sets, is presented in this study along with a detailed analysis of its algebraic features with respect to different kinds of soft equalities and subsets. We further explore the soft gamma-product’s relation with other soft set operations by examining its distributions over other soft set activities. Using the uni-int operator and uni-int decision function within the soft gamma-product for the uni-int decision-making approach, which finds an ideal collection of components from accessible possibilities, we end with an example showing the method's efficacy of many applications. Since the theoretical underpinnings of soft computing techniques are based on sound mathematical concepts, this study makes a substantial contribution to the literature on soft sets.

The Evolution of Catharsis in Video Games: A Historical Perspective
Authors: Sarvajith Kumar JN
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the evolution of catharsis as a concept, from its classical origins in Greek tragedy to its modern manifestations in video games. Initially defined by Aristotle as an emotional purging achieved through dramatic arts, catharsis has historically influenced various media, including literature, film, and music. In the 20th century, the advent of video games introduced a new, interactive medium that carries forward the cathartic tradition. Early games like “Pac-Man” and “Tetris” offered simple forms of stress relief, while the 1990s and 2000s saw the development of narrative-rich titles such as “Silent Hill” and “Metal Gear Solid,” deepening emotional engagement. The rise of indie games like “Journey” further expanded narrative innovation, highlighting the medium’s role in personal reflection and emotional connectivity. In contemporary settings, technologically advanced games like “The Last of Us” foster immersive experiences, underscoring video games’ potential as tools for empathy, emotional processing, and mental health benefits. This paper underscores the significance of video games in offering profound cathartic experiences and suggests potential directions for future research in enhancing narrative depth and exploring therapeutic applications. Thesis Statement: Video games provide a unique interactive platform for emotional release and mental relief, extending the traditional concept of catharsis by offering mediums for active engagement and personal narrative exploration.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study is to find ways to alleviate the burden experienced in dealing with the suicide crisis of significant others. Data from semi-structured interviews with 25 adults who experienced the suicide crisis of significant others were analyzed by thematic analysis method. As a result of the study, two areas were composed of “burden reduction factor” and “burden weighting factor”, Sub-areas of “personal factor” and “social factor” were derived in each area. The personal factors that reduced the burden were “personal capacity” and “understanding of symptom.” In contrast, the social factors were “supportive social network” and “professional resources”. On the other hand, the personal factors that increased the burden were “lack of personal capacity”, “difficulty understanding symptoms”, and “repeated suicide crises.” The social factor was “fear for social perspective”. Based on the results, the considerations to alleviate the burden of caregiving were discussed.
Retos habitacionales de la inmigración venezolana en Iquique y Alto Hospicio: Explorando bibliográficamente y sobre el terreno estrategias y barreras
Authors: González-Pavicich Consuelo , Morén-Alegret Ricard
Published: January 2025

Recent migratory dynamics, such as the Venezuelan humanitarian crisis and the increase in entries through unauthorized border crossings, have transformed the landscape of the Tarapacá region, in Chile, intensifying housing challenges such as limited access to adequate housing, which often leads to settlement in precarious camps (informal settlements). This article explores the perceptions of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and state institutions regarding Venezuelan migration and its housing challenges in Iquique and Alto Hospicio. The analysis identifies three key dimensions: administrative and legal barriers that perpetuate migratory irregularity, settlement strategies in contexts considered of extreme vulnerability, such as some informal settlements in Alto Hospicio, and social and symbolic barriers linked to the criminalisation and territorial stigmatisation of irregular migration. The findings reveal both convergences and divergences with academic literature. On the one hand, the dynamism of camps as spaces of agency and the consolidation of housing trajectories are highlighted. However, some CSOs perceive them as spaces of exclusion and criminalization, while also highlighting their role as initial entry points for migrants.
Posturas políticas como variables inobservadas: Analizando la confianza institucional en la encuesta «Problemas, valores, actitudes y prácticas políticas»
Authors: Ascui-Gac Sebastián , Thezá-Manríquez Marcel
Published: January 2025

Literature that address the predictors of institutional and governance trust tend to explain that both good and bad evaluations of these types of organizations are largely due to their efficiency or their capacity to generate benefits for the population. Although studies also recognize the existence of other idiosyncratic variables that influence these perceptions, but authors have really not delved into this issue. Our study addresses one of these aspects that the same specialists designate as an exogenous variable in the valuation of institutions, that is, political ideology. With the use of a factorial and parallel analysis it was possible to account for three potential political positions that describe both high and low levels of trust across different types of institutions: i) a pro-authority one; ii) a pro-government and state one, and iii) and a pro-civic institutions one. The results of the study show implications on how political culture in Latin America may be strongly associated with ideological positions that determine beforehand how the institutional favoritism of the population is distributed.

Internet addiction is increasingly recognized as a significant mental health concern, and is now included in DSM-5 TR as internet gaming disorder. Cybersexual addiction, a subtype of internet addiction, presents unique treatment challenges due to the pervasive need for online activities. This paper examines the incorporation of Islamic principles in the treatment of internet addiction among Muslim patients. The aim is to explore culturally sensitive approaches that align with Islamic practices to effectively address internet addiction. To highlight the specific challenges and benefits of integrating Islamic principles in managing internet addiction, a review of various databases was conducted. Key search terms included "internet addiction," "Islamic principles," "religious therapy," and "psychospiritual treatment." A detailed case vignette was included to demonstrate the practical application of integrating Islamic principles in treatment, highlighting the psychospiritual aspects and their impact on patients' emotional well-being. This paper discusses the principles of treatment, patient suitability, therapist preparedness, and potential limitations. Integrating religious principles as part of a psychospiritual approach shows promise in behaviour therapy for Muslim individuals suffering from internet addiction.

To advance the practical application of retinal prostheses with high spatial resolution through parallel stimulation, we developed a dynamic power supply voltage control system designed to enable stable constant-current stimulation in vivo, regardless of the number of active stimulation points. The proposed retinal prosthesis integrates a CMOS chip, containing current sources and electrode selection circuits, into a stimulation electrode array implanted in the eye. This configuration facilitates individual control of over 1000 electrodes with minimal wiring. In this study, we designed and integrated a power supply voltage monitoring circuit into the chip, allowing for real-time control of an external power generation circuit through feedback from the intraocular monitoring circuit. We demonstrated that the proposed system rapidly restored the power supply voltage when a voltage drop of 1 V occurred in the Pt wiring between the power supply unit and the chip, even while delivering a stimulation current of 1.5 mA in parallel across more than 100 electrodes.

), a self-interstitial aggregate, inside implanted Si wafers during device processing using ab initio calculations. The results reveal the relative stabilities of B/P/As atoms in Arai tetra-interstitials and demonstrate that the gap levels of the Arai tetra-interstitials drastically change upon replacing Si atoms with these dopant atoms, particularly in the case of B. These levels significantly affect the p–n junction leakage currents of imaging devices.

Published: January 2025

To optimize carrier balance in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), it is crucial to gather data on the charge transport properties of organic semiconductors as measured within a functioning device. In this study, we directly investigated the hole mobility of the N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(1-naphthyl)-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine (α-NPD) layer in multilayer OLEDs with various hole injection layers (HILs). This was achieved using the metal–insulator–semiconductor charge extraction by linearly increasing the voltage (MIS-CELIV) technique, which utilized hole accumulation at the α-NPD/8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq3) interface. Our findings confirmed that hole mobilities evaluated via MIS-CELIV with sufficiently large offset voltages were more reliable, as the space-charge-limited extraction was realized through adequate hole accumulation at the α-NPD/Alq3 interface. Moreover, the hole mobility in the multilayer OLED configuration, as assessed by MIS-CELIV, reflects not only the hole transport properties of the α-NPD layer but also the hole injection properties at the HIL/α-NPD interface.
