La cobertura en educación superior ¿Una cuestión de cantidad o de calidad? La experiencia de la Universidad de Guadalajara
Authors: Aguilar Peña Víctor , Curiel Gutiérrez Federico ,   Universidad de Guadalajara, Partida Robles María Inés
Published: June 2023

El crecimiento de la población en edad escolar, la elevación de los niveles de escolaridad que exige el mercado laboral y la obligatoriedad de la educación media superior, son los principales factores que presionan la demanda de servicios educativos en el nivel superior y se convierten en uno de los retos fundamentales que el País debe resolver para consolidar su proceso de desarrollo. Esta población que aspira a obtener un lugar en el sistema de educación superior puede ser dividida en tres principales grupos: aquellos que ingresan a Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) privadas de elite; los que buscan un espacio en las IES públicas, principalmente en universidades públicas autónomas; y el resto, que al no obtener un espacio en las entidades públicas, ingresan a IES privadas conocidas como de absorción de demanda de conformidad con su capacidad de pago. El garantizar educación a este último grupo de población, ¿debe ser enfrentado por el Estado como un problema de cantidad o de calidad? Este es el eje de la reflexión que se presenta en el presente artículo, en particular el de la experiencia de la Universidad de Guadalajara.
BEHAVIORAL BIASES AND CREDIT CARD REPAYMENTS AMONG MALAYSIANS
Authors: Sahul Hamid Fazelina , Md Harizan Siti Haslina
Published: June 2023

Analyses done using the survey response of 451 credit cardholders in the northern region of West Malaysia have shown that credit cardholder repayment pattern differed based on their demographic profile. Specifically, the study found that credit cardholders who were younger and earned a lower income tended to make poorer repayment decisions. In contrast, those with higher academic qualifications tended to make better repayment decisions. Further analyses also revealed that behavioral biases were better at predicting those who made full payment of the outstanding balance and those who paid more than the minimum amount, but failed to predict those who only paid the minimum amount or less. In addition, it was found that overspending emerged as the strongest predictor which discriminated among the three repayment groups, followed by risk aversion, myopia and impulsiveness.
Assessing fine particulate matter concentrations and trends in southern Ontario, Canada, 2003–2012
Authors: Forsythe K. Wayne , Hare Cameron , Buckland Amy J. , Shaker Richard Ross , Aversa Joseph , Swales Stephen J. , MacDonald Michael W.
Published: June 2023

Fine particulate matter is primarily released by transportation, residential and industrial processes. It can cause cardiopulmonary problems and has been attributed to the development of diabetes. Ontario is Canada’s most populous province and shares its southern border with the United States of America. The 2003 Canada-United States Border Air Quality Strategy outlines an initiative to reduce air pollution, specifically targeting southern Ontario due to its proximity to the U.S. and its historical air pollution levels. Ambient air concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in southern Ontario were analyzed in this research. The data were obtained from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. There are 40 stations across Ontario that monitor concentrations of up to six airborne pollutants on an hourly basis. The purpose of this research was to examine ambient air quality trends from 2003 to 2012 by generating prediction surfaces using the ordinary kriging spatial interpolation technique. Average PM2.5 levels for each year as well as maximum pollutant concentrations for the lowest and the highest year were produced. The results showed that fine particulate matter levels decreased, and the maximum levels per year also declined significantly. This indicates that fine particulate matter was greatly reduced and air quality generally improved in terms of PM2.5 during the analysis period. 
A multi-Criteria Wetland Suitability Index for Restoration across Ontario’s Mixedwood Plains
Authors: Medland Sally J. , Shaker Richard Ross , Forsythe K. Wayne , Mackay Brian R. , Rybarczyk Greg
Published: June 2023

Significant wetland loss (~72%; 1.4 million hectares) in the Province of Ontario, Canada, has resulted in damage to important ecosystem services that mitigate the effects of global change. In response, major agencies have set goals to halt this loss and work to restore wetlands to varying degrees of function and area. To aid those agencies, this study was guided by four research questions: (i) Which physical and ecological landscape criteria represent high suitability for wetland reconstruction? (ii) Of common wetland suitability metrics, which are most important? (iii) Can a multi-criteria wetland suitability index (WSI) effectively locate high and low wetland suitability across the Ontario Mixedwood Plains Ecozone? (iv) How do best sites from the WSI compare and contrast to both inventories of presettlement wetlands and current existing wetlands? The WSI was created based on seven criteria, normalized from 0 (low suitability) to 10 (high suitability), and illustrated through a weighted composite raster. Using an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and importance determined from a scoping review of relevant literature, soil drainage had the greatest meaning and weight within the WSI (48.2%). The Getis-Ord Gi* index charted statistically significant “hot spots” and “cold spots” of wetland suitability. Last, the overlay analysis revealed greater similarity between high suitability sites and presettlement wetlands supporting the severity of historic wetland cannibalization. In sum, this transferable modeling approach to regional wetland restoration provides a prioritization tool for improving ecological connectivity, services, and resilience. 
An Architecture Of Permanence
Authors: Lesiège Marie-Hélène
Published: June 2023

In a globalized and fast-moving world, the experience of time can be strengthened by weathering, decay, and the patina. However, a rejection of this experience has been central to the conceptualization of permanence in architecture. 

This thesis investigates what constitutes permanence by revisiting diverse perspectives. Departing from the sole perspective of physical durability, it becomes essential to consider aging, transformations, and the passage of time. Challenging conventional approaches, a renewed framework that addresses both the continuum of time and contrasting spatial conditions is formulated. 

The design proposal articulates itself as a series of three installations in a revitalized urban park, located on the Peel Basin’s former flour dock, in the Montréal Lachine Canal. It conveys permanence by supporting collective traces from the past, a plurality of voices, and the unfinished condition of architecture. Conceptualized as a succession of vast and confined spaces, they engage in an architectural journey of discovery, reflection, and reminiscence. 
Enclosure As Metaphor
Authors: Mazurkiewicz Michael
Published: June 2023

The dominant architectural response to the ecological dilemma has historically relied on a progressive process of technological innovation to mitigate the adverse impacts of growth. At the legitimate technical vanguard is the high-performance enclosure, which, since at least the 1973 oil embargo, has prioritized reductions in operational energy consumption and concealed its ideological substrates. Evoking Marshall McLuhan’s notion of the invisible environment, this thesis reads the history of the enclosure through the lens of three substratal themes: enframement, opposition, and mediation. It takes the position that through the fortification of a series of binary conditions, the high-performance enclosure is ideologically subversive to the project of sustain-ability. The design research, as cultural practice, employs an analysis of ten historic and speculative enclosures and aims to theorize relations across the boundaries of their perceived binary conditions.
The Etymology Of Craft
Authors: Tratnik Gregor A.
Published: June 2023

There exists a fundamental separation between architecture and construction, as hierarchies of knowledge place mind over body, and design over workmanship. This thesis attempts to mend these cultural mischaracterizations by understanding the etymologies of knowledge, industry, and craft, through definitions of tool, maker, and material, to demonstrate craft as the plane on which architecture and construction can be brought together harmoniously. This is then applied to the context of Toronto, at first through brick materiality and construction, and later the fire station archetype, tracing the dialogical consequences of building cultures through ontological construction examined via the tectonic poetry of the joint to produce a discourse of craft knowledge based in design and workmanship synchronously. By mining the rich traditions of craft, a renewed understanding of architecture is yielded, one where workmanship and design become extensions of one another, achieving a rich diversity through the act of making, and re-instilling diverse regional character.

Authors: Al-Jarf Reima
Published: June 2023

This study sought to find out whether educated Arabs read paper or digital materials; which reading technologies they use; amount of material they read; the place where they read; how much time they spend on reading; when they read; how they reduce distractions; how they motivate themselves to read; how they interact with the text; their reading rituals; and whether there are significant differences in reading habits according to gender, age, area of specialty and educational level. Unsolicited responses to a Twitter survey from 172 male and female adult Arabs with different ages, educational levels and areas of specialty showed that 13.5% use reading technologies, 15% prefer to listen audiobooks, and 71.5% read paper books. 16% read an hour a day; the majority read less than an hour a day and 13% read whenever they can. Some read 10 pages a day; others finish three chapters/articles a week; 14% read before bedtime; 15% listen to audiobooks while driving, working out, walking, cooking, and running errands; 5% read during wait times; 4% read before they start work; 3% read during their break at work; 3% read in the afternoon; 3% read after sunset prayer, and over the weekend. Some carry their Kindle device with them and read anywhere. To reduce distractions, 23% set a specific time for reading; 12% stay away from their smart phones or turn their mobiles to the silent mode; 6% read in a quiet place; 6% use a timer; 3% drink coffee to focus; 2% listen to music; and some use a pencil and paper to take notes and underline. No significant differences were found among respondents in terms of gender, area of specialty, educational level, the type of material read, reading technologies and applications they use, how much time they allocate to reading, where they read, how they reduce distractions, how they motivate themselves to read, their reading rituals and how they interact with the reading material. The study gave recommendations for encouraging the young generation to read in the age of social media and distractions and which technologies help them develop better reading habits.

Authors: Петренко Л. М. , Ніжегородцев В. О. , Дубініна А. В.
Published: June 2023

Статтю присвячено обґрунтуванню потреби та розкриттю особливостей застосування технологій інтернет-маркетингу на ринку ІТ-технологій. Загалом останнім часом особливо значного поширення набуває застосування інформаційних інтернет-технологій у маркетингу як методології і практично-орієнтованого інструментарію ведення бізнесу, досліджень, впливу на цільову аудиторію. Вплив економічної глобалізації на формування і подальший розвиток інформаційних технологій та їх представлення на спеціалізованих ринках свідчить про процеси розширення масштабів ІТ-продукції. У роботі зазначено, що сучасний інтернет-маркетинг потрібно розглядати як новий вид маркетингу, який передбачає застосування традиційних та інноваційних інструментів і технологій у мережі «Інтернет» для визначення і задоволення потреб та запитів споживачів з метою отримання продавцем прибутку чи інших вигод. Ринок інформаційних технологій є одним з тих, що найбільш динамічно розвивається у світовій економіці. Інтернет-маркетинг і електронна торгівля все частіше доповнюють або замінюють традиційні форми взаємодії ІТ-компаній зі споживачем, тому все важливішим стає ступінь розвитку цих напрямів. Тому одним із основних напрямів зростання економіки України повинна стати підтримка стартапів та технопарків, що дозволить мобілізувати потенціал ІТ-сектору та розвинути інформаційну структуру держави.
CПЕЦІАЛІТЕТ НЕДОБРОСОВІСНОЇ ФІНАНСОВОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ
Authors: Мельник С. С.
Published: June 2023

Для сьогодення актуальним є розробка та впровадження методик виявлення недобросовісної фінансової діяльності, зокрема і фінансового шахрайства тощо. Адже в умовах як донедавнього розвитку економіки, так і у процесі функціонування України в режимі війни проблема заволодіння фінансовими ресурсами в результаті недобросовісної фінансової діяльності, включаючи фінансове шахрайство, є особливо актуальною. Гострою актуальності потребує від учених зведення в єдину теоретичну конструкцію усіх суттєвих характеристик недобросовісної фінансової діяльності, що важливі для пізнання її закономірностей, зокрема і закономірностей відверто злочинної діяльності в економічному просторі нашої держави.  
Зважаючи на це, важливим атрибутом боротьби із недобросовісною фінансовою діяльністю є максимальна повнота усвідомлення її характеристик. Саме вони будуть включені в розвиток методів, методик боротьби із будь-якими проявами недобросовісності в економічній і фінансовій сферах. Тобто це дозволить формувати критерії та дієві підходи до виявлення, протидії та запобігання проявам втрат фінансових ресурсів у результаті недобросовісних дій.
В Україні, у період війни, спостерігається збільшення випадків недобросовісної поведінки з боку учасників економічного та фінансового ринків. Це неминуче призводить до втрати фінансів і до підриву авторитету української ділової сфери. Формування спеціалітету недобросовісної фінансової діяльності дозволить також підвищити рівень підготовки фахівців правоохоронних органів та фахівців із забезпечення корпоративної фінансової безпеки, фінансового моніторингу тощо.
Ґрунтуючись на системному аналізі, було виокремлено унікальні характеристикт недобросовісної фінансової діяльності. Дослідження базується на концептуальних положеннях фінансової науки.
У результаті дослідження було виокремлено такі характеристики недобросовісної фінансової діяльності: раціональність, причинність, вмотивованість, обумовленість, сценарність, організованість, латентність, піонерність, маніпулятивність, професійність, гібридність, інтегрованість, трансформативність, мімікрічність, аватарність, наслідковий розрив, маніпулятивний розрив, часовий розрив, недискретність, неформалізованість, специфічність слідів та несуперечність закону.
Виокремлення характеристик недобросовісної фінансової діяльності дозволить більш коректно здійснювати підбір та застосування методів і методик аналітичного виявлення, протидії та запобігання фінансовим та економічним злочинам. Результати дослідження будуть корисними для фахівців із розслідування злочинів в економічній і фінансовий сферах, для науковців, які мають фахові інтереси у дослідженні та розробці заходів із попередження та нейтралізації недобросовісної фінансової діяльності
Формування спеціалітету недобросовісної фінансової діяльності дозволить також підвищити рівень підготовки фахівців правоохоронних органів та фахівців із забезпечення корпоративної фінансової безпеки, фінансового моніторингу тощо.

Authors: Monika  , Parashar Atul , Batra Priyanka , Wati Leela
Published: June 2023

Rhizobia act as primary nitrogen fixing microorganisms in the root of leguminous plants. Efficient rhizobia are helpful in increasing productivity of legumes. In the present investigation a total of twenty rhizobial isolates were retrieved from root nodules of mungbean plants growing in field during summer season. On evaluation of plant growth promoting traits of all rhizobial isolates it was found that rhizobial isolate HSR1 had maximum indole acetic acid (IAA) production (58.83 μg/ml), ammonia excretion (4.78 μg/ml) and phosphate solubilization potential. Other plant growth promoting traits like aminocyclopropane- 1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase activity, siderophore production and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) production were also exhibited by isolate HSR1. This isolate was able to survive 45ºC and exhibited plant growth promoting traits at high temperature. Genomic DNA extracted from isolate HSR1 was subjected to amplification of 16S rRNA gene for identification. The similarity searching of the sequence obtained after 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed 99% similarity with Sinorhizobium sp. T25, which was confirmed by morphological and biochemical tests. Presence of good plant growth promoting traits makes HSR1 a promising strain to be developed as biofertilizer to improve soil fertility and plant growth.

Effects of Sowing Date and N Management on Growth And Yield of Green Gram (Vigna Radiata L.) Of Assam, India
Authors: P Ahmed  , M Saikia  , K Pathak  , M Choudhury  , B Rahman
Published: June 2023

The field experiment was conducted at Tinsukia in Assam of India during kharif seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18 to investigate the effect of sowing date and nitrogen (N) management practices on the growth and yield of green gram (Vigna radiata L.). Results indicate that the sowing date, S2 (1st September) showed superiority in respect of the growth and yield of the crop, compared to other sowing dates for both years. Amongst the N management treatments, a significantly higher value of the growth parameters, yield attributes, and yields was observed in the treatment receiving 50% N as inorganic fertilizer along with vermi-compost @ 1.0 t/ha. Among the sowing dates, late sown crop (1st October) accumulated the lower heat units (GDD) and higher thermal time (HTU) at 50% flowering and maturity compared to the early sown crop (15th August or 1st September) causing a reduction in seed yield of green gram. The relationship between accumulated growing degree days (AGDD) and yield was positive for all the phenophases with a statistically significant result during PP2 (flowering to maturity). On the contrary, the correlation between AHTU and yield was negative for all the phenophases. The regression models for different phenophases of the crop indicate 86 - 98% of yield variation which can be explained by accumulated agrometeorological variables.

Authors: Sultana Nusrat , Banu Hurjahan , Morshed Md Shahed , Akter Touhida , Saleh Ahmed Abu , Hasanat Muhammad Abul , Arafat Shohael Mahmud
Published: June 2023

Background: Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) particularly critically ill ones may present with different types of thyroid abnormalities. However, data regarding thyroid function tests (TFTs) among noncritical patients with COVID-19 are scarce. This study aimed to assess thyroid functions and their associations with the severity of illness among non-critically ill hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed TFTs in 87 (aged 18-65 years) RT-PCR-confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to a tertiary-care hospital in Bangladesh. Diagnosis of non–critical illness and severity (mild, moderate, and severe) were defined by WHO’s interim guidance. Patients having known thyroid dysfunctions or taking drugs that may affect thyroid functions were excluded from the study. Serum TSH, FT4, and FT3 were measured by chemiluminescent immunoassay.
Results: Majority of the patients (72%) had normal thyroid function. Among the abnormalities, the highest frequency was isolated hyperthyroxinemia (12.6%) and the rest were subclinical hypothyroidism (6.9%), subclinical thyrotoxicosis (4.6%), thyrotoxicosis (2.3%), isolated tri-iodothyroninemia (1.1%), and hypothyroidism (1.1%).  Serum TSH, FT4, and FT3 levels were similar across the spectrum of noncritical illness. No significant correlation was found between the inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, ferritin, and D-dimer) and TSH levels.
Conclusions: More than one-fourth of non-critically ill hospitalized patients with COVID-19 presented with a spectrum of thyroid abnormalities with isolated hyperthyroxinemia being the most common. However, TFTs had no significant associations with the severity of illness among noncritically ill patients with COVID-19.
Protecting children from online sexual abuse in Bangladesh: A policy brief
Authors: Towhid Muhammad Ibrahim Ibne , Nuzhat Raisa , Haque Md Atiqul
Published: June 2023

Background: Online sexual abuse is a growing concern in Bangladesh, particularly as children are increasingly accessing the internet and social media. This paper examines the prevalence and impact of online sexual abuse on children in Bangladesh, and provides policy recommendations to protect children from this type of abuse.
Methods: This policy brief was prepared after reviewing findings of the research works conducted on online child sexual abuse.
Results: Around 86% female and 91% male children of Bangladesh use the internet. Among the internet users, about one in two children are sexually abused. In addition to the Children Act 2013, the government of Bangladesh enacted the ICT Act 2006 and the Digital Security Act 2018 to address cybercrimes. However, these acts do not specifically address the issue of online child sexual abuse. In addition, the legal provisions lack strict enforcement and the media at times discloses the identities of child victims including images.
Policy recommendations: The government, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders need to take a comprehensive approach to protect children from online sexual abuse including improving the legal framework, strengthening child protection mechanisms, increasing awareness and education on safe internet use, and empowering children and their families to report incidents of online sexual abuse. Anonymous reporting system needs to be developed and strict legal measures must be enforced.
Conclusion: Protecting children from online sexual abuse requires a sustained multi-stakeholder approach that involves the government, civil society organizations, parents, educators, and children themselves.

Authors: Hossain Showlin , Rimmi Sumaya Hossin , Chowdhury Muhammad Muniruzzaman , Choudhury Nushrat , Ahmed Syed , Mostarin Somaya , Abbas Md Golam
Published: June 2023

Background: Virtual dentistry practices, when implemented correctly, reduce the burden on healthcare systems by preventing COVID-19 and asymptomatic carriers from infecting healthcare professionals and high-risk employees. This study was carried out to evaluate the perception and state of teledentistry practices among the dentists during COVID-19 pandemic.
Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 218 dentists through a semistructured questionnaire to evaluate the state of teledentistry practices among 6 dental colleges and hospitals in Dhaka City.
Results: Most of the dentists (87.2%) mentioned that teledentistry practice increased during COVID-19 pandemic and it has reduced the spread of infection. Majority recommended teledentistry is a good tool for oral hygiene instruction (72.5%) but couldn’t provide accurate diagnosis (73.9%). One fourth of the respondents (26.1%) prescribed medicine virtually and others prefer providing health education and counseling only. There are some barriers during practicing teledentistry such as poor audio or audio-video quality, expensive set-up, accurate diagnosis provision and difficulty to use software.
Conclusion: Teledentistry isn't intended to replace traditional methods of treatment that involve patient examination, but rather to provide a new way to practice healthcare. Dentists should be encouraged to practice virtual health education tool which may lower the cost burden, overcrowding and spread of COVID-19.

Published: June 2023

Overseas migration has attracted a lot of attention from policymakers and academics in Bangladesh. The writings and debates on migration in Bangladesh have centred around the economic benefits of migration as well as its social implications. This paper is a contribution to this literature. The detailed analysis of emigration patterns using the data provided by the BMET, but not aggregated and complied before, adds to the ongoing debates on overseas migration in Bangladesh. Disaggregate analysis is provided in this paper, from the 2004 till date, on the overseas migration of men and women over the years, along with their occupation, age, and skill profile. In addition, this paper brings a regional dimension into the discussion of the migration literature in Bangladesh. The sharp variation in the intensity of overseas migrations across the different districts of Bangladesh gives us new insights for policy that links overseas migration as a panacea for some of the development challenges that the country faces. The reach of overseas migration to give gains to households that are in highly underdeveloped regions remains limited and, in some ways, continues to keep them trapped in a vicious circle of underdevelopment.
