Text Data Embedding into Images Using Chaotic Least Significant Bit Encod-ing Steganography
Authors: Hutabarat Allwine , Sawitri Riza
Published: December 2024

Computer networks and the internet are growing rapidly, enabling global communication and exchange of information, including text, images, video and audio. However, this progress has also fueled cybercrime, such as data theft. One solution to protect data is steganography, the art of hiding a message in another medium. With the advancement of digital technology, steganography now utilizes digital image files as hidden message containers. Chaotic LSB (Least Significant Bit) based steganography method is implemented in this steganography application. This technique determines the location of message concealment randomly, increasing the security of sending secret data over the internet without being detected. The LSB method allows hidden messages to be accessed only by those who have a special key. The advantage of this method lies in its ability to keep the message secret from unauthorized parties. Thus, the LSB method becomes an important tool for preventing unauthorized access and ensuring the security of confidential data transmission.

Abstract
 
The quality of education is related to whether or not the goals of national education are achieved as stated in Law No. 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System. Therefore, the quality of education can be said to be good if it meets the National Education Standards. Fulfillment of the minimum standard of education which is the National Education Standard is a requirement to improve the quality of education including madrasah. The reality that emerges is that the quality of education in Indonesia is still quite far from what was expected, moreover the quality in most madrasas is still experiencing many problems. Many madrasahs do not meet standardized qualifications and competencies, as well as inadequate facilities and infrastructure. This paper aims to describe the role of the education quality assurance system in improving the quality of education in madrasas.
Keywords: Quality, Education, Madrasah, National Standards.

Published: December 2024

Shinrin-yoku ili „šumska kupka” i ikebana kao tradicionalna japanska umjetnost aranžiranja cvijeća predstavljaju dvije prakse koje, iako različite u svojem pristupu, dijele zajednički metodološki pristup – usredotočenu svjesnost i zajednički cilj – promicanje mentalnog zdravlja i emocionalne dobrobiti kroz predano, potpuno i svjesno povezivanje s prirodom. Shinrin-yoku uključuje svjesno polako hodanje kroz šumske prostore, gdje sudionici aktivno angažiraju svojih pet osjetila kako bi potpuno „uronili” u prirodno šumsko okruženje. Ova je praksa pokazala znatne učinke na smanjenje razine stresa i kortizola, poboljšanje raspoloženja, te smanjenje simptoma anksioznosti i depresije, dok istodobno jača imunosni sustav. S druge strane, umjetnost i tehnika izrade ikebane nije samo estetski izraz, već i duhovna praksa koja omogućava dublje razumijevanje prirodnog svijeta i vlastite unutarnje stvarnosti. Naglašava estetiku, ravnotežu i jednostavnost u aranžiranju cvijeća, omogućujući pojedincima da kroz kreativni proces izraze poštovanje prema prirodi i reflektiraju filozofske koncepte poput prolaznosti i ljepote nesavršenosti. Obje prakse potiču usredotočenu svjesnost i meditaciju, omogućujući sudionicima da se usmjere na sadašnji trenutak, čime se pridonosi smanjenju stresa, promicanju unutarnjeg mira i poboljšanju kvalitete života.Cilj ovog rada bio je istražiti sinergiju između metode Shinrin-yoku i ikebane te analizirati i sintetizirate rezultatedosadašnjih istraživanja kako kontinuirana primjena ovih praksi može pridonijeti cjelokupnom blagostanju pojedinaca kroz povezivanje s prirodom i promicanje emocionalne stabilnosti. Kroz analizu zajedničkih elemenata, u radu se objašnjava kako kombinacija ovih dviju praksi može obogatiti svakodnevni život, potičući kreativnost i jačajući emocionalnu otpornost.

Fluxos e padrões de deslocamento de idosos no sistema de transporte coletivo da Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte (MG)
Authors: Matos Bárbara , Lobo Carlos , Ribeiro Antonio Henrique , Montero Camila , Guedes João Vitor
Published: December 2024

Com o aumento no volume e proporção de idosos na população brasileira, reflexo do processo de transição demográfica, torna-se crucial a elaboração e implementação de políticas públicas que priorizem a qualidade de vida, o bem-estar coletivo e a inserção desse grupo nas diversas dimensões da vida urbana, incluindo o acesso e a mobilidade no território. Embora existam muitos estudos sobre o envelhecimento populacional no Brasil, especialmente nas áreas de saúde e economia, é importante expandir a abordagem temática, de modo a incluir o debate sobre o acesso, mobilidade e a oferta de transporte público coletivo, considerados como fundamentais ao pleno exercício da cidadania e de garantia do direito à cidade. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo tem como objetivo principal analisar os fluxos e os padrões de deslocamento por transporte coletivo da população idosa na Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, dado o recente e acentuado processo de envelhecimento da população. Para tanto, foram utilizados os dados da Pesquisa Origem Destino de 2002 e 2012 e do estoque de população (total e idosos) dos Censos Demográficos de 2000 e 2010 para a proposição de indicadores de mobilidade e dos padrões espaciais relacionados ao transporte coletivo por ônibus. Em geral, os resultados confirmaram o esperado aumento no total de viagens diárias realizadas por idosos, acima do esperado pela mudança na estrutura etária. Observou-se, ainda, um crescimento menos acentuado na utilização do sistema de transporte coletivo por ônibus pelos idosos, o que é coincidente com o padrão geral da população. Trata-se, pelo menos aparentemente, de um caminho oposto à busca da mobilidade urbana sustentável, em prol do uso do transporte coletivo e/ou ativos, tal como preconizado pelos programas de mobilidade sustentável das políticas públicas federal e municipais.

Authors: Bestetti Maria Luisa Trindade , Nascimento Mariana Alves da Silva
Published: December 2024

A população idosa no Brasil tem crescido exponencialmente, levando a necessidade de novas alternativas de moradia, incluindo opções mais adequadas para instituições de longa permanência. Portugal vivencia esse processo há mais tempo e serve como um casorelevante para estudo. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar elementos arquitetônicos inovadores em moradias institucionais para pessoas idosas com base na experiência portuguesa. Sete instituições na região de Lisboa serviram como estudos de caso, onde foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória com 61 residentes. Eles foram questionados sobre a ambiência de suas moradias, considerando o ambiente físico e emocional. Foram utilizados questionário, roteiro de entrevista e diários de campo para coletar dados, que foram categorizados e analisados através de análise de conteúdo temático. As respostas foram agrupadas em três domínios: Conforto ambiental, Bem-estar e Pertencimento, e ostermos foram categorizados em Vantagens, Barreiras e Sugestões. Entre as 16 subcategorias definidas, aspectos como interação social, agência, pertencimento, autonomia e bemestar no ambiente institucional foram mencionados. Em parâmetros arquitetônicos, isso significa incorporar ao projeto elementos como privacidade em espaços compartilhados, reduzir ruídos, acomodar objetos e móveis pessoais, criar espaços estimulantes e de fácilidentificação, entre outros. Em conclusão, as percepções das pessoas idosas sobre a ambiência podem servir de inspiração para a criação de projetos arquitetônicos inovadores em instituições de longa permanência no Brasil. Cabe aos profissionais de arquitetura e urbanismo ouvir atentamente e compreender o contexto de cada instituição para incorporar em seus projetos, com criatividade, os parâmetros mais adequados a cada realidade.
La enseñanza de la investigación: Percepción estudiantil en torno al aprendizaje activo
Authors: Padilla Partida Siria , Padilla Martínez Albania
Published: December 2024

This paper investigates the role of active learning in two undergraduate research courses. It discusses how active learning improves research teaching; to this end, an inquiry based on Dewey’s principles on the subject is carried out. The research design is mixed. The quantitative phase is a non-experimental design, and the qualitative phase is basic. A total, 57 students from two public universities in Mexico participate. A Likert-type questionnaire and focal interviews were applied to two groups of students. The results show that research is reflective learning about action. In this, the professor acts as an external conscience about the what, how, and why of the research, hence the importance of learning by doing and connecting with significant problems for students. This study provides clues for academies of research methodology and for professors working in these subjects.
Qué es eso llamado epistemología, para qué sirve, por qué es inexcusable para la universidad y para la paz
Authors: Oviedo Sotelo Daniel , Balletbó Fernández Idalgo , Vallejos Aranda Lucía Asunción
Published: December 2024

Epistemology has become one of the most important disciplines for the world of knowledge in the twenty-first century, particularly in the field of higher education; but it is not always part of the curricula. For this reason, we analyze its origins and concepts (between theory of knowledge and philosophy of science), as well as its scope, exposing the reasons related to its usefulness inside and outside high tertiary, since the discipline allows to reflect on the knowledge gestated in the sciences with a philosophical perspective, mediating its comparative, critical, and rational approach. It is concluded that the advantages associated with its internalization and dissemination, as well as its gravitating influence for the good shaping, development and understanding of scientific research, allow us to determine that any university institution that dispenses with its contribution would be incomplete or deficient. The work is bibliographic, with descriptive-prescriptive scope, and logical-hermeneutic methodology, developed through analysis aimed at the transformation of our institutions, in line with the epistemologies for peace.
Disciplinas y transdisciplina en las generaciones universitarias
Authors: Fort Chávez Liliana
Published: December 2024

Modernity considered the causal knowledge of Newtonian physics as the only objective knowledge and with its method various disciplines were developed without connection to each other. The assumption was that the subject of knowledge is separated from the object that knows, and that reality is static and mechanical. The academy and national universities taught disciplinary knowledge with a positivist vision. The complexity was preserved in literature, through the differences it shows us in life, allows us to organize information and communicate. The university must promote transdisciplinarity in generations of teachers and students.
¿Sigue equivocado Descartes treinta años después?
Authors: Cela Conde Camilo José
Published: December 2024

Hace treinta años apareció un libro que estaba destinado a tener un gran impacto: Descartes’ Error. Su autor era Antonio Damasio (1994) y, tras su aparición en inglés, se sucedieron tanto las críticas, positivas en su mayor parte, como las traducciones que incluyeron la de lengua castellana. Cuatro años después, en 1999, la revista Enrahonar publicó un número especial dedicado al filósofo francés, festejando con algo de retraso el haberse cumplido cuatrocientos años desde su nacimiento en 1596. En el homenaje de Enrahonar apareció un artículo que repasaba la lectura de Descartes por parte de Damasio. Volvamos ahora, aprovechando parte de lo escrito desde entonces, sobre las claves que nos proporcionan las neurociencias hoy día acerca de la relación entre mente y cerebro que comenzó a sopesar Descartes.
El acierto de Damasio: la información del afecto
Authors: Melamed Andrea F
Published: December 2024

El libro de Antonio Damasio El error de Descartes (1994) constituye un hito en las discusiones en torno a la concepción de la mente humana en general y a las emociones en particular, tanto por su caracterización de las mismas como por el papel que desempeñan para nuestra economía mental. 
En este artículo me propongo continuar el espíritu de la apuesta de Damasio para mostrar que las emociones no solamente son indispensables para la toma de decisiones y el cálculo racional, sino que son esenciales para la agencialidad toda. Para ello, comenzaré ofreciendo una breve reconstrucción de su propuesta, remarcando sus avances sobre la intuición original jamesiana (apartado 1). En segundo lugar, me ocuparé de señalar el valor de las emociones para la agencialidad sintetizando el aporte directo que Damasio realizó con su hipótesis de los marcadores somáticos y, en segundo lugar, recogiendo otras contribuciones que refuerzan la tesis de la influencia de las emociones sobre otros aspectos de nuestra vida mental (apartado 2). En la sección final (apartado 3) sugeriré una clave de reinterpretación de los fenómenos presentados, con el fin de integrar lo que considero fue la hazaña de Damasio, me refiero a la revolución implantada en el seno mismo de la conceptualización de las emociones y su importancia para la agencialidad.
¿Tiene razones el corazón? Los marcadores somáticos de Damasio a la luz del debate sobre racionalidad práctica.
Authors: Crelier Andrés
Published: December 2024

El trabajo propone un examen crítico de la hipótesis de Damasio sobre los marcadores somáticos en El error de Descartes a la luz de distinciones conceptuales recientes sobre racionalidad práctica. Luego de realizar una introducción general (I) y de reconstruir la hipótesis damasiana de los marcadores somáticos (II) se ponen de relieve algunos de sus problemas conceptuales (III). Se analiza entonces esta hipótesis desde la distinción entre racionalidad interna y externa (IV) y desde una distinción entre tipos de razones explicativas (V). Finalmente, se discute la idea pascaliana de que existen “razones en el corazón” bajo una luz crítica que recoge argumentos vertidos a lo largo del trabajo (VI).
Bioactive compounds in different melon (Cucumis melo L.) genotypes and one cultivar grown under deficit irrigation and salt stress
Authors: Ekincialp Aytekin
Published: December 2024

Drought and salinity are the most important abiotic factors limiting agricultural production. One of the effective ways to avoid their negative effects on plants is to determine the genotypes that will show resistance to these stress conditions. In addition, the gradual decrease in water resources in the world makes minimum water consumption important in agriculture. For this purpose, three different irrigation levels (I100: control – 100% full irrigation, i.e. 0% deficit irrigation, I50: 50% deficit irrigation, I25: 25% deficit irrigation) were applied within the framework of water constraint, and NaCl was applied at the doses of S0: 0 mM (control), S50: 50 mM and S75: 75 mM to create salt stress, and the experimental plots were designed according to the random plot experimental design with three replications and four plants in each replication. In the genotype × salinity interaction, compounds other than fumaric acid from organic acids formed significant interactions with genotypes YYU-4 and YYU-10. Among phenolic compounds, parameters other than total phenolic and antioxidant content formed significant interactions mainly with cv. Ananas. In the genotype × irrigation interaction, among organic acids, oxalic, succinic and fumaric acids and among phenolic compounds, only vanillic acid showed significant interactions particularly with genotypes YYU-1, YYU-10 and YYU-13. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the determined genotypes are prominent in terms of quality fruit production in saline and arid areas, and it is necessary to examine these genotypes using different parameters in different breeding studies.
Influence of agrotechnical and varietal factors on biodiversity of fungi colonizing amaranth seeds
Authors: Krasowska Patrycja , Skwaryło-Bednarz Barbara , Kopacki Marek
Published: December 2024

Amaranth seeds are characterized by a very high nutritional value, which depends on various environmental factors and variety. For this plant, it is crucial to maintain the appropriate post-harvest quality of the seeds, particularly in terms of fungal infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of increasing NPK doses, row spacing, and variety on the biodiversity of fungi colonizing amaranth seeds. For this purpose, a 3-year field experiment (2016–2018) was carried out involving the cultivation of two varieties – ‘Rawa’ and ‘Aztek’ – under the soil and climatic conditions of southeastern Poland. The experiment demonstrated that most of the analyzed research factors (NPK fertilization, row spacing, and variety) had a significant impact on the health status of amaranth seeds. Increasing NPK fertilization led to higher seed colonization by Alternaria alternata. Row spacing affected both the total number of fungal colonies and the population of Aspergillus brasiliensis on the seeds. In this regard, amaranth cultivation was more favorable with wide row spacing than narrow row spacing. The variety significantly influenced seed germination after harvest, and the total number of fungal colonies on the seeds, particularly of Aspergillus brasiliensis and Alternaria alternata. The variety ‘Rawa’ was characterized by lower seed germination capacity and was more frequently populated by pathogenic fungi, which negatively affected seed quality compared to the variety ‘Aztek’. Considering the production of seeds free of post-harvest biological contamination in southeastern Poland, it is advisable to cultivate the variety ‘Aztek’ in a wide row spacing system.
Solution to Determine the Working Time at the Mechanised Longwall in the Natural Condition of Quangninh Coal Seam, Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Phi Hung , Nguyen Thi Kim Thanh , Pham Duc Hung , Le Quang Phuc , Vu Thai Tien Dung
Published: December 2024

Vietnam is currently unable to generate nuclear power, and coal still accounts for 32 percent of national energy production. Therefore, mining coal plays a crucial role in the national economy. On the other hand, all open pit coal mines in Quang Ninh will be closed to give the land back to the other industrial section, so the underground mines will be responsible for supporting the entire amount of coal, which is extremely difficult. Therefore, it must mechanise mining to increase output. The research of applicability has been implemented for a long time. Now, Vietnamese workers can operate domestic equipment. However, most mining plans are established from experience and imposed, so this hardly shows the construction reality in the underground mines. Indicators must be manually adjusted to match the previously established documents. This not only causes administrative risks but also wastes time and human resources in handling paperwork, leading to reduced labour productivity indirectly. The key to a mining plan is time, therefore the article analyses the influence of uncertain mining conditions on the construction time. As a result, different working time parameters are determined suitably for different conditions, space, and construction time. The difference between actual construction time and ideal construction time is also made out. The mentioned results are a scientific basis for mine operators to adjust production plans appropriately to the characteristics of underground mines.
Histopathology of the Haplorchis taichui infection in the freshwater fish, Tigris kingfish, and Tigris barb (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) from Iran
Authors: Golchin Manshadi A.R.
Published: December 2024

Flukes can cause severe and lethal diseases in various animals, including fish. Both adult and larval stages of flukes are found in fish. Haplorchiasis is an infection of fish gills by heterophyid trematodes such as Haplorchis taichui. To detect this parasite, the gills of 30 Tigris kingfish and Tigris barb collected from the Shapour River in Kazerun, Fars province were found to be parasitized with metacercarial cysts of a heterophyid trematode identified as H. taichui. Histopathological examination of the infected fish gills revealed cartilage proliferation, severe hyperplasia, fusion, S-forming, shortening and thickening, distortion, and displacement of affected secondary gill filaments leading to deformities of the filament structure, clubbing, telangiectasis, and hyperemia. Although the gill damage was evident and potentially life-threatening for the cyprinid fish, the examined fish showed no clinical signs. This finding indicates that H. taichui is pathogenic; therefore, prevention of infection and treatment should bea priority.
In vitro antibacterial and antibiofilm effects of mupirocin spray against Staphylococcus pseudintermedius
Authors: Lee H.J. , Bae S.G.
Published: December 2024

Mupirocin is an effective antibiotic for infectious skin diseases. However, mupirocin is formulated as an ointment and is difficult to apply in canine systemic pyoderma. Therefore, many clinicians reformulate mupirocin off-label ointment into a spray. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial and antibiofilm effects of different concentrations of mupirocin spray (2%, 1%, and 0.5%) on Staphylococcus pseudintermedius over 21 days. Mupirocin spray was prepared by mixing mupirocin ointment and distilled water. The antibacterial effects were evaluated by measuring the optical density using broth microdilution assay and by live/dead staining. The antibiofilm activity of mupirocin spray was measured using a crystal violet staining method. All concentrations of mupirocin spray inhibited the growth of S. pseudintermedius. Mupirocin spray also inhibited biofilm formation of each isolate, although the degree of inhibition was influenced by the mupirocin concentration. The antibacterial and antibiofilm effects of mupirocin spray were maintained for 21 days. The 2% and 1% mupirocin sprays exhibited significantly better antibacterial and antibiofilm efficacy than the 0.5% mupirocin spray. Thus, 1-2% mupirocin spray may be effective for clinical use. Mupirocin spray is convenient and effective for the treatment of canine systemic pyoderma caused by S. pseudintermedius infection.

Constant antigenic changes, new variants and easy transmission of SARS-CoV-2 virus should acquire greater zoonotic attention and need to remain alert. In this retrospective study the aim was to analyze seropositivity to SARS-CoV-2 in dogs by commercial ELISA. The Virus neutralization test (VNT) was modified for the purpose of confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in ELISA-positive dog sera. The sera were collected from 204 dogs from different veterinary clinics across Vojvodina Province, Serbia, during COVID-19 pandemic. For the screening of antibodies a commercial double multi-species antigen ELISA was used, followed by the VNT modified with SARS-CoV-2 as a confirmatory test. VNT was modified as “one step” test using local isolate of SARS-CoV-2 and the results were checked by cytopathic effect in cell culture on the 96-well microtiter plate. Obtained data have shown that 9 out of 204 dogs were positive by ELISA (4.4%), while 2 (0.97%) sera were doubtful. VNT confirmed 9 positive dogs, but 2 doubtful samples were negative, exhibiting the seroconversion to SARS-CoV-2 in 4.4% dogs from Vojvodina region during pandemic of COVID-19. VNT with SARS-CoV-2 helped to elucidate ELISA ambiguous results. The occurrence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in dogs in this study during COVID-19 pandemic suggested the possibility of viral transmission to dogs, implicating the potential for zoonotic transmission. This was the first research on seroconversion to SARS-CoV-2 in dogs from the Province of Vojvodina, the northernmost part of Serbia.
Justifying the Necessity of Anti-Abortion Legislation: An Exploratory Analysis of Moral Panic Style in American Pro-Life Advocacy and Media Discourses
Authors: Pîrciu Alexandru
Published: December 2024

Since the 1980s, abortion has been “labeled a source of great and bitter political conflict” (Gusfield, 1981). After Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the discourse surrounding it reached a point where the U.S. debated if a fetus should receive personhood (Zernike, 2024). Consequentially, the broadening of the rights of “unborn babies” (definition of the fetus according to the Louisiana Supreme Court cited in the NYT) limits those of pregnant women. This article aims to explore the working hypothesis that U.S. pro-life advocacy groups and media employed elements of a moral panic style in the period before the Supreme Court Dobbs hearing. The study analyzes the discourse of two right-wing advocacy agencies (Texas Right to Life and Texas Values) and one mainstream satellite media outlet (Fox News).
Social Capital Formation At Urban Level In Bangladesh: A Comparison Of Two City Corporation
Authors: Islam Md Nahidul
Published: December 2024

In a society that is becoming more urbanized, local governments are crucial to the welfare of the populace and the efficient provision of essential services. There is a consensus that strong metropolitan local governments are essential for generating sustained economic growth, improved public services, and the growth of social capital. The level of trust that residents have in their local government organizations is directly related to how satisfied they are with the services they receive. The purpose of the current study is to determine how satisfied Bangladeshi individuals are with city corporations, a type of urban local government entity. The goal of the study is to pinpoint the variables that may account for the variations in citizens’ satisfaction with the establishment of social capital in urban local government organizations. The study used a hybrid methodology based on survey results and key informant interviews (KII), in which 200 respondents from each of the two city corporations in the nation shared their thoughts. This study contributes by suggesting some fresh angles for a better understanding of Bangladeshi citizens’ levels of social capital formation toward city corporations.
A dynamic and decentralised headquarters to thrive in uncertainty
Authors: Blomvall Petteri , Hirvi Mikko
Published: December 2024

Military headquarters have been seen as grown up to the point that this reduces the agility of decision-making and decreases the survivability of the headquarters and command posts in war. At the same time, war is becoming ever more complex and intertwined through the fast pace of information flows and technological advancements. This design science research aims to solve these problems of headquarters. The research was done by framing the problem with several theories and then designing a solution. Systems thinking and complexity leadership theories were used to understand the problem. After this qualitative coding was used to form complexity leadership themes specific to military headquarters. These themes were combined with organisational theories and the military theories of tempo-based operations. A solution was then designed through theory-based analysis and abductive reasoning and tested in exercises. This article suggests that military headquarters should not seek for one optimal organisational structure, but instead the structures should be intentionally and dynamically tailored according to the situation and context at hand. A headquarters seen through the mental model of a Dynamic Headquarters Structure (DHS) can adjust its own networking, information-flows and delegation of decision-making to thrive in different environments.
Multiple occupational hazards, multiple occupational diseases - a study case
Authors: Mandanach Cristina , Angelescu Cristina , Handra Claudia Mariana
Published: December 2024

Industrial workers frequently have exposure to multiple hazards. Depending on the specific activity the intensity, duration and type of exposure may differ during the entire professional life, even in the same working place. These workers are at risk of developing several work-related disorders or even multiple occupational diseases. This study presents a case of a welder who performed heavy work (lifting and handling masselottes and metal casts) and was exposed to gases, fumes and vapors. He was diagnosed 8 years before with occupational lumbar discopathy and occupational pulmonary fibrosis (welders’ lung) based on symptoms and X-ray examination. He continued to work in the same workplace. At the current admission the respiratory symptoms (dyspnea on low exertion, wheezing, cough with seromucous sputum) were more severe and a large opacity of 5.3/4.3 cm slightly heterogeneous structure, with spiculated, iodophilic contour in lateral area of the subpleural segment of the upper right pulmonary lobe was found on the CT scan. This opacity was interpreted as probable lung cancer and the patient was sent for surgery.

The case illustrates the multiple health consequences of the working activities and the necessity to evaluate in a proper manner all possible hazards present in a certain working place.
The questionnaire as a research tool in social and communication sciences. Opportunities and challenges generated by the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI)
Authors: Trușcă Claudia , Sălcudean Minodora
Published: December 2024

Surveys are one of the most prevalent research methods, with widespread application in social science research, especially in psychology and sociology. Questionnaire and/or survey are frequently used techniques, thanks to the possibilities of observing and analyzing the opinions, perceptions, attitudes, motivations, interests of a social group. In the context of the evolution of communication sciences, an interdisciplinary, specific field, formed and consolidated in the area of interference of several social sciences, as well as in the context of the evolution of emerging technologies, the survey method can be one of the most relevant for quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. The present article aims 1) to look at the literature through the prism of the diachronic and synchronic intersection that the use of the questionnaire has raised in social sciences in general and in communication sciences in particular and 2) to comparatively analyze and present possible uses of software with integrated Artificial Intelligence in data collection and analysis in quantitative, qualitative and mixed quantitative research with a special focus on researchers in the field of communication sciences.
Environmental Aspects of V4 Household Consumption
Authors: Hošková Elena , Zentková Iveta
Published: December 2024

As the standard of living rises, total household consumption increases. However, in addition to satisfying needs, high consumption also has negative consequences, one of which is environmental pollution. The main objective of this paper is to investigate how household consumption in the V4 countries affects the environment, particularly in terms of waste production. Household consumption is understood through expenditures on food and non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages, clothing and footwear, and household furniture and equipment. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis are employed for the analysis, using data from Eurostat covering the years 2004-2020. The results indicate that in all V4 countries, as expenditure on food and non-alcoholic beverages increases, household waste production also increases. Other monitored expenditures have varying impacts on waste production across different countries.

Published: December 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the properties of mycelium as an ecological material in the construction of walls and terraces to reduce the environmental impact generated by traditional construction practices.
 
Theoretical Framework: This topic presents the main concepts and theories that support the research, such as the design of ecological materials, comparative study of materials, mycelium as a material for construction, mycofabrication and application of biomaterials in interior design. of social housing.
 
Method: The methodology adopted for this research is quantitative, analyzing data from the study of the mycelium and its comparison with traditional materials, thus generating a spectrum of tests in the experimental process of the material. A data systematization process is generated from mathematical algorithms that operationalize the characteristic features that an ecological material must meet to reduce pollution in its processes from production to commissioning of the material.
 
Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed that the characterization of the material within a social housing generates a significant reduction in costs and thanks to its reproductive properties it can generate reuse of the pulverized material and thus obtain a circular economy model. It is shown that the use of mycelium in interior architectural elements generates a reduction in energy consumption of 56%, a bioclimatic contribution of 20% and a reduction in waste pollution of 68%. The limitations of mycelium as an exterior material are contextualized due to its high degree of decomposition and how this composite material can be used for closure elements; Therefore, an extension is needed in the study of mycelium for exterior designs.
 
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of mycelium as an ecological material are discussed and how it can generate new forms for buildings since, thanks to its extreme malleable and elastic properties, it can expand the generation of architectural elements, which can open the way to its adoption in protected elements outside, contributing to the diversity of architectural design through a clearly organic material.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by promoting the implementation of ecological materials in the Ecuadorian construction system and how the adoption of new materials can generate a reduction in pollution and economize on the high cost of social housing.
