Authors: Costa Renata Paiva da Nóbrega , Araújo Nelma Mirian Chagas de
Published: July 2023

A construção civil brasileira constitui um dos maiores setores da economia nacional, pois gera inúmeros empregos e oportunidades de negócios, além de favorecer o processo de desenvolvimento econômico-social do país. Porém, apesar de muito já ter melhorado, o setor ainda apresenta características preocupantes no que diz respeito à Saúde e Segurança no Trabalho (SST). Segundo o Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego (MTE), a construção é líder em número de notificações, autuações e embargos/interdições e, segundo lugar, em número de acidentes. As obras de edificações verticais estão entre as que mais cresceram nos últimos anos. O mercado imobiliário encontra-se bastante aquecido e algumas características particulares tornam o processo produtivo altamente complexo e dinâmico, o que contribui para ocorrência de eventos indesejáveis. Nesse sentido, esse estudo verificou as condições de SST a que estão submetidos os trabalhadores de dois canteiros de obras localizados em duas cidades do estado da Paraíba, João Pessoa e Patos. Para isso, foram realizadas visitas técnicas, verificação de documentos referentes à SST e diagnóstico com base nas recomendações da NR 18. Espera-se que os resultados obtidos possam servir como orientações para construtoras que buscam implantar melhorias contínuas que compensem os impactos negativos do trabalho na vida e na saúde de seus trabalhadores.

Authors: Mitsuhara Ariane Tiemi , Moraes Jheyce Cristina , Crestani Carlos Eduardo
Published: July 2023

Este trabalho relata uma caracterização completa de bagaço de laranja. O processamento da laranja para extração do suco gera o bagaço como resíduo agroindustrial que representa cerca de 50 % do volume total do fruto, composto por casca, semente e polpa. Seu uso, atualmente, consiste em aplicações de baixo valor agregado, como queima e adição à ração animal. O setor de energia renovável tem crescido em volume e importância nos últimos anos, por isso, é fundamental que o setor traga valor agregado e melhores usos para os resíduos industriais. O primeiro passo para isso é conhecer a composição desse resíduo que muitas vezes está sendo queimado em sua totalidade. Neste trabalho, análises químicas foram realizadas utilizando padrões TAPPI e NREL específicos para materiais lignocelulósicos e mostraram que o resíduo de laranja contém, em massa seca, 2,9 ± 0,2 % de cinzas, 12,3 ± 0,9 % de umidade, 37,3 ± 0,9 % de extrativos em água (o melhor solvente testado), 38,5± 2,0 % de holocelulose, 33,1 ± 1,5 % de celulose, 5,4 ± 2,0 % de hemicelulose e 2,9 ± 0,5 % de lignina. A composição química permite o aproveitamento do material lignocelulósico e da lignina do bagaço, das proteínas e do óleo essencial das cascas, proporcionando um aproveitamento com maior valor agregado aos resíduos, com benefícios econômicos e ambientais. Para isso, essa caracterização completa do material é essencial.

Published: July 2023

Os problemas ambientais causados pelo descarte de diversos materiais da construção civil e consumo desordenado dos recursos naturais têm se tornado um desafio constante para os administradores, esse cenário inclui, por exemplo, as indústrias que produzem os materiais cerâmicos. Um dos processos que mais produzem resíduos é a etapa de polimento do porcelanato, na qual durante a produção são geradas grandes quantidades de resíduo, composto por restos de cerâmica e substâncias abrasivas utilizadas durante o polimento. Beneficiando-se das características do resíduo, conhecido como Resíduo do Polimento do Porcelanato (RPP), e pensando na diminuição do descarte destes produtos em aterros, é possível encontrar uma alternativa viável para utilização do referido resíduo na pavimentação. Dessa forma, este estudo busca analisar a viabilidade da estabilização de solos de subleito de pavimentos por meio da adição do RPP e da cal hidratada. Essas adições foram realizadas em um solo silto-argiloso, com pouca plasticidade, compostas de 8% de cal, obedecendo aos métodos de dosagem do Lime Fiction Point (LFP) e de Thompson adaptado por Ingles e Metcalf, e em seguida adicionadas à massa do solo 6%, 9% e 12% de RPP. Os materiais e as misturas foram verificados mediante a realização dos ensaios de granulometria, dos limites de Atterberg e da massa específica. Posteriormente, realizaram-se os ensaios de expansão e Índice de Suporte Califórnia (ISC), preparados com a umidade ótima conhecida através do ensaio de compactação Proctor Normal. Dentre todas as combinações, a mistura da cal hidratada com 9% de RPP demostrou valores significativos, tornando essa adição eficaz para o uso em obras rodoviárias por meio da otimização do solo natural.

Authors: Davari Rezvan , Morowatisharifabad Mohammad Ali , Beigomi Alireza , Barsang Sara Jam
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Older adults are the largest group of medication users in each society. Since medications act differently in seniors compared with younger patients, great considerations are required regarding the effects and side effects of medications in the older adults. The present study aimed to determine the status of medication use and its related factors among older adults in Kerman city, Iran.
 
Methods: In the cross-sectional study, 388 seniors were selected using multistage cluster sampling from the population covered by comprehensive health centers in Kerman in 2021. Demographic information questions (age, gender, education level, marital status, life status, substance abuse, income, and health insurance status), a question regarding medication usage status and a question regarding disease that the elderly are currently suffering from, Montreal Cognitive Assessment Questionnaire, Geriatric Depression Scale, and Sleep Disorder Questionnaire were used for data collection. The data were analyzed using SPSS software by running Chi-square and multiple logistic regression tests.
 
Results: The average number of medications used per day was 4.59 and 53.5% of the participants used five or more medications concomitantly. Antihypertensive medications had the highest prevalence (64.3%) followed by anti-hyperlipidemic (43.6%) and Supplements (41.3%). A significant correlation was found between the participants' frequency of medication use and their gender, income, primary insomnia, and cognitive impairment (p < 0.001). However, medication use had no significant association with the senior's age, marital status, education level, living status, substance abuse, and health insurance (p < 0.05). The risk of polypharmacy was 2.15 times higher in the elderly women than men (p = 0.001) and 0.45 times higher in participants with depression than non-depressed seniors (p = 0.011).
 
Conclusion: The high prevalence of polypharmacy indicates an unfavorable status of medication use among older adults in Kerman. So, authorities are required to provide educational information about polypharmacy to aged groups.

Authors: Mohammedsaeed Walaa , Alahmadey Ziab Zakey , Manzoor Nikhat
Published: July 2023

Background: The severity of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been proposed to be associated with cytokine dysregulation. A significant number of patients become serious and need intensive care in hospitals.
Methods: The concentrations of cytokines interleukin (IL-6, IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) were estimated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in serum samples of 60 adult patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 along with 50 healthy controls of the same age. The mean age of the subjects was 50-52 years and included an equal number of males and females. The patients were further grouped as severe (38 patients) and non-severe cases (22 patients).
Results: The mean serum cytokine levels were significantly higher in the COVID-19 patients than in the healthy controls. IL-6 was excessively elevated in comparison to IL-10 and TNF. Comparative analysis of severe versus non-severe cases revealed only slight alterations in the cytokine levels: IL-6 being the most elevated in severe cases. The concentration of the liver enzyme ALT was higher than AST in both severe and non-severe cases. The mean concentration of serum electrolytes (Na, K, and Ca) did not vary much between the patients and healthy controls.
Conclusion: There was a significant positive correlation between the levels of cytokines serum biomarkers in COVID-19 patients. It may be suggested that early detection of cytokines, especially IL-6 and serum biomarkers can help predict disease prognosis and severity in COVID-19 patients.

The Impact of Incisional Hernia Repair on the Quality of Life: A Narrative Review
Authors: Pătrașcu Mara Ioana , Ion Daniel , Bolocan Alexandra , Păduraru Dan Nicolae , Andronic Octavian
Published: July 2023

Background: Incisional hernias represent a common complication following a midline incision, generating impairment, lower quality of life, and social costs. The aim of this narrative review is to determine in which manner risk factors – such as age, gender, postoperative complications, and even the overall health system – impact the satisfaction and expectations of the patients.
Methods: A literature search was performed through PubMed, Web of Science, and SpringerLink, addressing both international and national articles. Only full-text articles published in the last 12 years were chosen. Each individual positive or negative factor was then targeted.
Results: Statistically, the majority of patients were satisfied with the outcomes of the reparative surgery. Even so, complications can still occur, which are more likely to appear in the early postoperative stages. In most of these cases, the patients complained of strenuous movement, chronic pain, or recurrence, leaving the option of another surgical repair up to the patient’s wishes. On the one hand it seems that robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), absorbable sutures, suture fixation without tacks, and the male gender were associated with a better quality of life and less recurrence or other complications. On the other hand, lack of communication between patients and health personnel, chronic health diseases, and the female gender were linked to a tendency of developing more complications and therefore, a lower quality of life.
Conclusion: Statistically, in most of the cases, the patients were satisfied with the results. While it is safe to say that an incisional hernia repair increases the quality of life, there is still a small, but significant percentage of people that do not benefit from it as much as they expected. More awareness should be raised and the communication between patients and health personnel improved.
Una propuesta para el análisis del discurso político tecnocrático: el caso de Danilo Astori durante la reforma del IRPF en Uruguay (2004-2006)
Authors: Calvo Rodríguez Jacobo
Published: July 2023

La elaboración de un marco teórico que defina la tecnocracia ha sido problemática y su investigación ha concentrado los esfuerzos de diversas escuelas y autores a lo largo del siglo XX y XXI. Tomando literatura politológica e historiográfica, se pretende elaborar un marco teórico y metodológico capaz de comprender el discurso tecnocrático. Por un lado, en cuanto a las categorías propiamente teóricas, se sitúa el discurso tecnocrático como un discurso plenamente político por guardar en su seno una conflictividad implícita al construir una identidad racionalista contraria a otro irracional. Aunque el conflicto no esté expresado explícitamente (la tecnocracia se presenta como neutral e independiente), dicha conflictividad es inextirpable de su discurso. Máxime cuando estos son enunciados desde instituciones políticas, como un ministerio o un partido político. Por otro lado, respecto a lo metodológico, se establece una serie de categorías analíticas inspiradas en la semiótica de Eliseo Verón: entidades, componentes y destinatarios. Definidas estas categorías teórico-metodológicas, se pasa a su aplicación empírica en el caso del discurso de Danilo Astori, ministro uruguayo de Economía durante el primer gobierno del Frente Amplio, sobre la reforma del Impuesto a la Renta de las Personas Físicas, vigente desde julio de 2007. En su defensa de la reforma observa su intento de despolitizarla mediante la utilización de perífrasis verbales impersonales, entidades metacolectivas o datos porcentuales. A pesar de ello, el discurso se ve abocado a expresar conflictos implícitos y a exponer prodestinatarios y contradestinatarios difuminados. En conclusión, se podrá ver cómo el discurso de Astori es técnico, no neoliberal y, por tanto, político.

There is no consensus on the role of different source rocks (SRs) in the formation of the Krasnoleninskoe field. The main Upper Jurassic-Early Cretaceous SR of Western Siberia is represented on the Krasnoleninsky arch by the Tutleim formation (fm) (J3tt–K1v). It is overlain by argillaceous rocks of the Frolov fm (K1v–K1a), underlain by the Abalak (J2cl–J3km), Tyumen (J2a-b), Sherkalin (J1) formations and folded pre-Jurassic basement. All these formations potentially contain SR layers. The purpose of the article is to determine the sources of oil in the Krasnoleninskoe field by comparing oils with SRs and to determine of the history of oil composition formation. Based on a review of known geochemical parameters and the results of statistical analysis new molecular parameters for determining the type of organic matter (OM) and its maturity are proposed. A secondary processes of the oils of the Vikulov fm of the Kamennaya crest has been established, which is associated with the migration of hydrocarbons from the Vikulov fm to the overlying deposits. It is shown that the oils of the Vikulov fm of Kamennaya crest were formed from the SR, which was at the MC2 substage during the generation of hydrocarbons, and the oils of the Jurassic and pre-Jurassic deposits were formed on the end of MC2-beginning of MC3 substages. It was determined that the oils of Kamennaya crest have aquatic initial OM, aquatic OM was found in the Tutleim and Tyumen SRs. According to the criteria of OM type and its maturity, the source of Kamennaya crest oils cannot be determined; therefore, genetic features of the difference between the aquatic OM of the Tyumen and Tutleim formations were found. These features made it possible to estimate the source of oils for different parts of the Krasnoleninskoe field: for Kamennaya crest the Tutleim fm, for the Talinskaya area the Tyumen fm, for the Em-Egovskaya area, the Tyumen and Tutleim formations. Estimation of the contribution of the Sherkalin and Abalak SRs to the formation of hydrocarbon accumulations is beyond the scope of current work.
Opportunities for evaluation of sustainable tourism – assessing the availability of ETIS indicators in Poland
Authors: Niezgoda Agnieszka
Published: July 2023

The purpose of the article is to evaluate the possibilities of evaluating sustainable tourism in Polish tourist regions, in particular, through the use of ETIS indicators and to assess for the availability of data for their calculation in the nationwide statistical system. Qualitative research methodology was used to study the availability of ETIS indicators. A diagnostic type research procedure was adopted and the desk research method was used. In a situation where the data necessary for calculating a given indicator was not found in the available sources, primary research in the form of direct interviews with representatives of branches of Statistical Offices was used. In order to quantify the availability of ETIS indicators, a system for their evaluation was adopted and aggregate indicators were proposed for the evaluation of sections and individual criteria in the section, which is the author’s attempt to develop a unified system for evaluating sustainable tourism indicators. The results of the study showed that the availability of data for calculating ETIS indicators in Poland is not satisfactory. The lowest rating was given to the availability of indicators that facilitate the management of the resort, including the tourists’ satisfaction survey (section A). Also rated very low was the availability of indicators of the environmental impact of tourism in a resort (section D). The results obtained confirm the results of studies by other authors dealing with the issue of the real use of ETIS in tourist regions of other countries.
Las regiones costeñas del Perú Septentrional : ocupación humana, desarrollo regional
Authors: Collin Delavaud Claude
Published: July 2023

Este estudio se propone describir y explicar los caracteres de la ocupación del suelo y la distribución del espacio en el norte costeño del Perú, y tratar de definir las reagrupaciones y los dinamismos regionales. El acceso a todos los sitios habitados y una cartografía al 1/200,000 favorecieron las encuestas sobre el terreno, mientras que la cuaddcula urbana v administra'tiva me suministró una documentación estadística de base para el estudio económico. Pero esta zona, importante por su dimensión, por los 1'720,000 hab. que ella abriga y por la diversidad de actividades rurales y urbanas, proporciona un tema vastísimo para un estudio regional. También hemos limitado nuestro estudio físico a los únicos elementos que tienen una influencia sobre la utilización del suelo, siendo ante todo, el clima y sus consecuencias hidrológicas, biológicas y pedológicas. Por el contrario, sin tener la ambición de hacer obra de historiadores, hemos tratado de atribuir a la historia todo aquello que la rememora en la estructura agraria.

Effects of Electrolytes and Soil-to-suspension Ratios on pH in Acidic-coarse Textured Soil
Authors: Butnan Somchai , Sriraj Pranee , Toomsan Banyong
Published: July 2023

Background: Soil pH is determined using a variety of methods. The key differences among them are the electrolytes and soil-to-suspension ratios. However, an optimal procedure tailored to a particular soil is required. This study, therefore, aimed to evaluate the effects of electrolytes and soil-to-suspension ratios on soil pH and to optimise pH measurement methods for acidic-coarsely textured soil. Methods: Varied standard electrolytes (water, 0.01 M CaCl2 and 1 M KCl) and soil-to-suspension ratios (1:1, 1:2.5 and 1:5 w/v) were used to measure the pH of thirty samples of acidic-coarsest textured soil. Result: Soil pH values were observed in the following order: water greater than 0.01 M CaCl2 greater than 1 M KCI. Higher soil pHs were a result of higher suspension volumes. The most optimal pH measurement method for an acidic-coarsely textured soil was obtained from the 1:2.5 soil-to-suspension ratio of 1 M KCl, which held the highest R2 (0.850), as well as the lowest root mean square error (RMSE) (0.010), indicating the most precise method. An alternative method suitable for a cost-saving laboratory was the 1:1 soil-to-suspension ratio of 0.01 M CaCl2, which owned R2 of 0.766 and RMSE of 0.013, as its pH measurement was similar to those under the most optimal method.
Mapping Vocabulary: A corpus-based comparison of Indonesian fourth-grade students' writing and English language textbooks
Authors: Ningsih Fitria
Published: July 2023

This study compares the vocabulary used by Indonesian fourth-grade students in their free writing with that taught in their English language textbooks to assist language teachers in developing relevant learning materials for young learners. To achieve this, the researchers employed the corpus linguistic method and analyzed the writings of 369 students from 19 public elementary schools in Malang, East Java, Indonesia, along with five selected English textbooks. The University of Adelaide Text Analysis Tool program, AdTAT, was used to analyze the corpus. The program generated word lists consisting of the top 100 words most frequently used by students and the top 100 words used in English textbooks. The findings of the study revealed a 45% match between the top 100 words most frequently used by students and the top 100 words used in English textbooks. This suggests that there is a significant overlap between the vocabulary used in free writing and that taught in textbooks. The implication of this study is that language teachers need to recognize the basic words students acquire before learning new vocabulary to achieve successful learning of the target language. The study suggests that language teachers should incorporate more culturally relevant vocabulary into their teaching materials to better engage and motivate their students. The findings of this study can also assist language curriculum developers in designing more effective and culturally relevant teaching materials for young learners.

Educational supervision should be conducted for various reasons one of them is to improve teachers’ perfomance as well as to improve students’ learning and quality of education. This is a comparative study of Indonesian and Pakistani school; Madrasah Ummul Quro At-Tarbawiyah Indonesia and Dar-e-Arqam School Bawalpur Punjab Pakistan.  There are three research focuses, namely (1) how is the educational supervision implemented in those schools? (2) how effective is the implemenetation of educational supervision in those schools? (3) what are the problems and solutions of the implementation of the educational supervision. This study adopted a descriptive qualitative approach with interviews, observation and documentation as data collection. The results show that the director of Madrasah at Madrasah Ummul Quro At-Tarbawiyah Indonesia implemented educational supervision by using group technique through 3 activities- a monthly meetings, weekly meetings and trainings. through these forms of activity, the results are obtained in the form of positive changes from the teachers which also indirectly affect the effectiveness of the learning activities carried out so as to obtain optimal results through students’ achievements. The obstacles faced are related to the teacher's internal condition so that the alternative is by giving summons, providing motivation, and the final action is in the form of teacher transfers. Menwhile, in Dar-e-Arqam School Pakistan, head office monitoring visits implemented the supervision by monitoring visit and training session (physical and online), reports, and performance conducted monthly and in the end of semester. The head office then made the decision and guidelline for the improvement.

We investigated the floristic richness of ruderal sites along the newly built access roads to Pelješac Bridge after several years of construction and three months of traffic on the roads (in autumn 2022). A clear dominance of steno-Mediterranean plants was observed, with a considerable proportion of cosmopolitans, accompanied by a high proportion of therophytes. Taxa from the vegetation classes Artemisietea vulgaris and Chenopodietea predominated. This study analyzes preliminary data and can be used as a basis for a further examination of how plant colonization processes are influenced by human activities. This report can also support comprehensive phytosociological studies of ruderal communities in this area, as well as in other regions with a Mediterranean climate.
Formation of professional identity among master’s degree students in pedagogy with system-modular organization of educational process
Authors: Kaitov Alexander P. , Lvova Anna S.
Published: July 2023

Current geopolitical situation and Russia's withdrawal from the Bologna process showed the urgent need to improve the national system of continuous pedagogical education, in which the master's program as the second level of higher education is focused on more in-depth, in comparison with the bachelor's degree, professional training of graduates, providing them with a high level of professional identity as the most important indicator of professional development. Due to a number of reasons (changes in master's degree standards, increased requirements for graduates with short terms of study and the lack of basic specialized education for many students, etc.), the quality of education in the master's program has significantly decreased, manifested in the absence of an increase in the educational level of students. Currently, to ensure the quality of teacher training in master’s studies, universities should find reserves in the organization of the learning process to develop professionalism among students, develop and implement flexible modular educational programs, their technological support, and build an effective system of interaction with employers. The purpose of the study: to develop a model for the formation of professional identity of students of pedagogical magistracy in the conditions of a system-modular organization of the educational process. The theoretical methods were an analytical review of scientific sources on the problem of professional identity, analysis and generalization of the results; pedagogical modeling. Based on the results of the theoretical analysis, the structural-content components of the professional identity of teachers are revealed as a complex, integrative, dynamic personal education that influences the professional development and success of the professional pedagogical activity. The method of pedagogical modeling led to the creation of a model for the formation of professional identity among master’s degree students in pedagogy with a system-modular organization of the educational process. The model makes it possible to form ideas about the formation of students' professional identity during the period of study in a pedagogical master's program as a systemic, dynamic, cyclical process of subject-subject pedagogical interaction between participants in educational relations.
RAMAZAN BEHİŞTÎ DİVANI’NDA RAKİP İLE İLGİLİ TASAVVURLAR
Authors: AYDIN Metin , AYDIN Selahattin
Published: July 2023

Arapça bir kelime olan ve gözetleyen, bekleyen, bekçi, başkasıyla aynı şeyi isteyen gibi anlamlara gelen rakip, divan şiirinde adı sıklıkla geçen tiplerden biridir. Divan şiirinin başlıca konusu olan aşk; sevgili, aşık ve rakip kadrosu etrafında işlenmektedir. Rakip; aşığın sevgiliye ulaşmasını engeller, fitnecidir, cahildir, aşığın bedduasını alır, kötü huyludur, sevgiliyi aşıktan kıskanır, aşıklar arasında sevilmez hatta yok olması temenni edilir. Ayrıca rakip için; merhametsiz oluşu nedeniyle kafir, sadece kendi rahatını düşündüğü için domuz, kötü görüntüsü ve çirkin sesinden dolayı karga, samimiyetsiz oluşu nedeniyle münafık, sürekli sevgiliyi gözlemesinden dolayı köpek, uğursuzluğu yönüyle baykuş, daima kötülük düşünmesi ve vesvese vermesi nedeniyle şeytan, güle benzetilen sevgiliye yakın olması, onun yanından ayrılmaması nedeniyle diken benzetmeleri yapılmaktadır. Tüm bu örnekler, divan şiirinde aşığın rakibe dair söylemlerinin anlaşılması açısından önemlidir. Sevgiliye olan aşkında samimi olan ve ona ulaşmak için her türlü eziyeti kabullenen aşık ile ona engel olmaya çalışan rakip arasında bitmeyen bir mücadele söz konusudur. Aslında aşığın üzüldüğü husus, rakibin varlığından ziyade sevgilinin ona ilgi göstermesi ve iltifatta bulunmasıdır. Her ne olursa olsun aşık, sevgisinde samimidir ve tüm bunlara rağmen asla sevgiliden vazgeçmez. Bu çalışmada amaç, 16. yüzyıl divan şairlerinden Ramazan Behiştî’nin divanında rakip tipinin aşık ve sevgili nazarında nasıl algılandığını tespit etmek ve rakip ile ilgili tasavvurları ortaya koymaktır.

Authors: Khusairi Halil
Published: July 2023

Perkawinan merupakan suatu kejadian yang sangat penting dalam kehidupan seseorang. Bagi Bangsa Indonesia yang memiliki alam pikiran magis (percaya pada hal-hal gaib), ritual perkawinan tidak hanya dipandang sebagai sebuah seremonial, tetapi juga peristiwa sakral. Ikatan yang ada di antara mereka merupakan ikatan lahiriah, rohaniah, spiritual dan kemanusiaan. Ikatan perkawinan menimbulkan akibat hukum terhadap suami isteri yang berupa hak dan kewajiban. Menjelaskan kontradiksi hukum agama dan undang-undang perkawinan menjadi fokus utama dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pustaka (library research). Peneliti berusaha mengkaji konsep kawin sirri dalam pembaharuan hukum perkawinan Islam dan hukum perkawinan di Indonesia. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, pada dasarnya bersumber dari literatur-literatur yang berkaitan dengan fiqih dan pembaharuan hukum perkawinan Islam. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan kompleksitas kawin sirri berada pada konsekuensi hukum, antara sah menurut agama dan hukum negara. Kompilasi Hukum Islam berpijak pada argumen bahwa pernikahan harus sesuai dengan hukum Islam dan hukum positif. Dengan kata lain, keabsahan pernikahan berkaitan erat dengan implementasi Hukum Islam dan Undang-undang Perkawinan.
Encadenamientos productivos clave para la economía mexicana: un análisis insumo-producto interregional
Authors: Morales-López Rodrigo
Published: July 2023

El objetivo central de este trabajo es identificar los sectores-estado más importantes para la economía mexicana según sus encadenamientos productivos mediante la aplicación del método de extracción hipotética en el marco del análisis insumo-producto interregional. Los sectores-estado más importantes tienden a concentrarse en la subregión centro del país —especialmente en la Ciudad de México y el Estado de México—, en la subregión noreste —particularmente en Nuevo León— y en la subregión petrolera del sureste. La cadena productiva más importante por sus encadenamientos hacia atrás y hacia adelante es la asociada con la minería petrolera y los derivados de petróleo, química y plásticos. Los productos eléctricos, electrónicos y de transporte muestran niveles considerables de encadenamientos hacia atrás, pero presentan una orientación exportadora alta acompañada por un uso intensivo de insumos importados. Otro sector importante es el de los servicios ubicados en las zonas metropolitanas más importantes del país. Los resultados de este trabajo brindan insumos para la formulación de una política industrial de alcance regional y para el estudio de los efectos de las crisis económicas sobre la estructura productiva de México a nivel estatal. En definitiva, se debe avanzar hacia la diversificación sectorial y la integración de las entidades federativas y las subregiones que presentan la mayor desconexión.

Purpose-With technological developments, people's use of smartphones and the internet has increased. This increase has enabled people to carry out many of their businesses through mobile applications. One of these things is banking. Thanks to the internet banking and mobile applications offered to their customers, banks enable them to carry out their banking transactions without going to the banks physically. In this context, it is important to determine the factors affecting people's adoption of mobile banking applications in order to increase the use of these applications. Therefore, the behavioral intentions of customers to adopt mobile banking were investigated in this study. Design/methodology/approach –Research model has been proposed by adding subjective norms, trust, and perceived risk variables to the Technology acceptance model. In the study, the data obtained from 492 mobile banking application users were analyzed with the Structural Equation Model. Findings –Attitude plays a key role in predicting users' intention to adopt mobile banking according to findings. In addition, the variables of subjective norms and perceived ease of use did not have a significant effect on the attitude toward mobile banking applications. Discussion –A new research model was suggested along with the expansion of TAM by the addition of new variables in the study. So, the study made a contribution to the body of knowledge on mobile banking applications, mobile applications, and the technology acceptance model. The current study also serves as a guide for bank managers, decision-makers, and other pertinent parties.

Dolayısıyla çalışan memnuniyeti otelcilik hizmetlerinin sürdürülebilirliği ve hizmet alan memnuniyeti açısından anahtar bir rol oynamaktadır.
Challenges and design strategies for alloy-based anode materials toward high-performance future-generation potassium-ion batteries
Authors: Nguyen An-Giang , Verma Rakesh , Didwal Pravin N. , Park Chan-Jin
Published: July 2023

Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are a promising candidate for low-cost and large-scale energy storage due to their abundant potassium resources. However, the potassiation-depotassiation of K+ presents a significant challenge due to its large ionic radius, which results in the pulverization of active materials and poor cyclability. Thus, researchers are exploring anode materials with a high specific capacity, long cyclability, and excellent rate capability. In this context, alloy-type anode materials are exceptional candidates due to their high theoretical capacity and low working potential. Nonetheless, the large volume expansion of active materials limits their practical application. This review discusses various strategies for overcoming these challenges, including nanostructure design, heterostructure design, alloy engineering, and compositing. The review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on alloy-based anodes for PIBs and offers insights into promising directions for future work toward commercializing PIBs.

Evolution Path and Development Trend of Domestic Marine City Research --- A Visual Analysis Based on CiteSpace
Authors: Chen Feifei , Qin Yan , Zhang Hongpeng
Published: July 2023

This paper uses the information visualization software CiteSpace, through the main research methods of spatiotemporal knowledge atlas and content knowledge atlas analysis, to search the CNKI with "marine city" as the key word or title. The publication time is selected from 2012 to 2022. A total of 146 effective documents are retrieved for analysis, revealing the current research hotspots and development frontier of marine cities in China. The analysis results show that the development of the research field of marine cities presents three stages: the first stage is from 2012 to 2016, and the publication volume of the documents related to marine cities is relatively flat; the second stage is from 2017 to 2020, showing a trend of steady growth year by year; the third stage is from 2021 to 2022, when the number of marine cities shows a "blowout" surge. The authors and institutions of the papers present scattered distribution, and the parts are slightly tight. The research focuses on three aspects: Marine center city, Marine industry and Marine power, and the research context is easily affected by the policy effect, showing a dynamic development trend. At present, academic research on marine cities is relatively scarce. Therefore, this paper gives a further summary and reflection, with a view to providing a reference for further research, exploration and promotion of marine undertakings in China's marine cities.
A SUPREMA CORTE DOS ESTADOS UNIDOS E OS DIREITOS SUCESSÓRIOS AB INTESTATO DE FILHOS HAVIDOS FORA DO CASAMENTO: TRIMBLE V. GORDON
Authors: Rego Borges Ribeiro Raphael
Published: July 2023

Neste artigo, estudou-se o caso Trimble v. Gordon, no qual a Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) examinou o pedido de uma filha, havida fora do casamento, ser conhecida como herdeira do seu falecido pai. Como método, utilizou-se a técnica historiográfica: consultou-se a fonte primária, bem como a literatura sobre a decisão, com abordagem descritiva. Observou-se que no sistema jurídico estadunidense há um persistente histórico de tratamento discriminatório contra filhos havidos fora da relação conjugal. Notou-se que, embora a SCOTUS tenha considerado inconstitucionais muitas das diferenças estabelecidas por leis estaduais e federais, a Corte sempre estabeleceu que nada impõe que haja um tratamento absolutamente isonômico entre toda a prole. Verificou-se que a SCOTUS compreendeu que a lei de Illinois, que condicionava a herança cumulativamente ao reconhecimento pelo pai e ao casamento entre os genitores, violava a Equal Protection Clause da Constituição estadunidense. Apesar disso, inferiu-se que a SCOTUS continuou permitindo que as leis estaduais adotassem requisitos probatórios para reconhecer herança a filhos havidos fora do casamento, requisitos estes não exigidos de filhos havidos dentro do casamento. Verificaram-se também as consequências de Trimble e sua repercussão na doutrina.
