Background: Next-generation vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) focus on inducing a long-lasting immune response against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its emerging variants. To achieve this, antigens other than spike proteins have been proposed, and different platforms have been evaluated. Nucleic acid-based vaccines are fundamental for this process. Preclinical data have shown that the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein induces a protective cellular immune response, and when combined with the spike protein, the resulting humoral and cellular immune responses are effective against some SARS-CoV-2 variants. Methods: We designed a DNA vaccine against the spike and nucleocapsid proteins of SARS-CoV-2 to generate fusion proteins based on the Delta and Omicron B.5 strains. The most immunogenic regions of the spike and nucleocapsid proteins of the Delta and Omicron B strains were selected using bioinformatics. The nucleotide sequences were cloned into pcDNA3.1, and named pcDNA3.1/D-S1, pcDNA3.1/D-S1N, and pcDNA3.1/O-SN. The immunogenicity of the generated fusion proteins was evaluated by analyzing the humoral and cellular responses elicited after the immunization of BALB/c mice. Results: DNA immunization induced antibody production, neutralization activity, and IFN-γ production. The inclusion of the nucleocapsid regions in the plasmid greatly enhanced the immune response. Moreover, cross-reactions with the variants of interest were confirmed. Conclusions: Plasmids-encoding fusion proteins combining the most immunogenic regions of the spike and nucleocapsid proteins present a promising strategy for designing new and effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2.

Published: January 2025

Background/Objectives: Amblyomma sculptum is among the most dangerous ticks in South America, as it is the species most associated with humans and is the main vector of Rickettsia rickettsii. In the face of the problems related to tick control based on chemical acaricides, vaccines emerge as a promising method. In previous works, three salivary recombinant proteins (rAs8.9kDa, rAsKunitz, and rAsBasicTail) and one protein based on intestinal immunogenic regions (rAsChimera) were described with 59 to 92% vaccine efficacy against A. sculptum females. Here, we evaluate novel vaccine formulations containing binary or multiple combinations of the antigens rAs8.9kDa, rAsKunitz, rAsBasicTail, and rAsChimera against the three instars of the tick. Methods: A control group of mice was immunized with adjuvant alone (aluminum hydroxide gel) and compared to five groups immunized with formulations containing two, three, or four of the antigens. Results: The formulations were safe, with no significant alterations to host behavior and hematological or biochemical parameters. Immunizations induced a significant increase in the CD19+ B lymphocyte percentage in all groups, but no difference was seen for CD8+ and CD4+ T lymphocytes or CD14+ monocytes. The best protection was observed for the formulations containing two antigens, which reached above 98% efficacy, while the groups containing three or four antigens presented 92.7 and 94.4% efficacy, respectively. Conclusions: All antigen combinations were promising as vaccine formulations against A. sculptum. The formulation containing rAs8.9kDa and rAsChimera showed the best efficacy and should be focused on in further experiments.
Water Pipeline Leak Detection Method Based on Transfer Learning
Authors: Cheng Jian , Jiang Zhu , Wu Hengyu , Zhang Xiang
Published: January 2025

In order to improve the accuracy of leakage detection in water pipelines, this paper proposes a novel method based on Transformer and transfer learning. A laboratory test platform was established to obtain datasets with rich leakage characteristics. An enhanced feature extraction technique using a shift window input method mapped the NPW sequences into embedding vectors, effectively capturing the fine-grained features while reducing the sequence length, thereby enhancing the Transformer’s retention of sequence details. An improved Transformer encoder was pre-trained on the Experimental pipeline dataset and refined with limited leakage data from real pipelines for accurate detection. Additionally, a novel signal difference-based method was introduced for precise leak localization. The pressure signal was denoised, and the inflection points were identified by subtracting two signals. The points between the inflection and lowest signal points were traversed, with slope calculations optimizing the time delay computations. A leakage simulation test was conducted on a section of a raw water pipeline in Shanghai, and the test results confirmed the effectiveness of these methods. A 100% detection rate, zero false alarms, and a relative positioning error of less than 3.14% were achieved on a test set of 45 instances.
Limitations of Standard Rain Erosion Tests for Wind Turbine Leading Edge Protection Evaluation
Authors: Kinsley Peter , Porteous Sam , Jones Stephen , Subramanian Priyan , Campo Olga , Dyer Kirsten
Published: January 2025

Blade leading edge erosion (LEE) is a persistent challenge in the wind industry, resulting in reduced aerodynamic efficiency and increased maintenance costs, with an estimated total expense of GBP 1.3M over a 25-year turbine lifetime. To mitigate these effects, leading edge protection (LEP) systems are widely used, but their real-world performance often falls short of predictions based on the standard rain erosion test (RET). This study investigates the limitations of current RET practices, which are designed to accelerate testing but fail to replicate the diverse environmental conditions experienced by wind turbines. Two LEPs with contrasting viscoelastic properties were tested using a novel design of experiments (DoEs) approach. The study explored the droplet impact frequency, combination and sequencing of high or low rainfall intensities, recovery during the inspection period and droplet size effects on erosion behaviour, to uncover significant differences in material performance compared to standard RET conditions. Results, supported by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), indicated that the chosen LEPs undergo a transition between elastic and brittle failure modes at a critical impact frequency, influenced by the viscoelastic properties of the material. Importantly, the findings emphasise the need for revised testing protocols across a range of parameters that incorporate realistic environmental conditions to improve the predictability of LEP performance.
Collecting Research Evidence to Inform Programming to Tackle Violence Against Young Women and Girls: The Importance of Diverse Data for Policy Making
Authors: Schubotz Dirk , McAlister Siobhán , Neill Gail
Published: January 2025

In September 2024, the devolved Northern Ireland government published their Strategic Framework to end violence against women and girls. In this article, we report the key results of two studies that were undertaken to inform this Strategy: Young Life and Times (YLT)—an annual social attitude survey of 16-year olds, and the bespoke ‘It’s just what happens’ study which was commissioned to qualitatively explore the views and experiences of girls and young women in relation to gender-based violence (GBV). YLT survey data are presented on the prevalence of GBV experiences and perceived barriers to reporting violence. Qualitative data gathered through focus groups and interviews are drawn on to demonstrate how these methods surface additional information, context and nuance that could not be captured in large-scale surveys alone. Young women experience disproportionately high levels of GBV compared to young men, whilst, at the same time, more barriers to reporting. Qualitative data from the bespoke survey flesh out the prevalence data with young women’s lived experiences. This paper demonstrates the value of diverse data for providing a more holistic understanding of complex social issues which, we argue, can benefit the development and evaluation of targeted policy interventions.

Dispositifs inédits d’artillerie mécanique défensive dans le Deccan du XVIe siècle
Authors: Simon Nicolas
Published: January 2025

Starting from the second half of the 15th century, written sources give evidence for the circulation of firearms in the Deccan. Intensification of their use and production throughout the 16th century show original patterns relating to the artillery as well as to the fortifications in the area. In Europe, the spreading of firearms since the 14th century caused the gradual dismissal of mechanical artillery and led to its disappearing from conflicts as early as the 16th century, whereas in India, its use for defending and attacking strongholds continued until the early 17th century. The structures which are studied here for the first time bear unique witness for permanent constructions specifically designed to support counterweight engines. In a context of globalization, this support to fire artillery sheds a new light on the organization of defense in the fortifications of the Deccan. By singling out the case of the fortress of Gulbarga (Karnataka), this article relies on extant archaeological artefacts to assess their operational features and chronology.
Beds and Bed Pavilions in Java before 1500 CE
Authors: Jákl Jiří
Published: January 2025

This article focuses on furniture, and more specifically beds and bed pavilions in pre-Islamic Java, hence before 1500 CE . In this way, it intends to contribute to the knowledge of an aspect of Javanese material culture that is still in need of comprehensive studies. Old Javanese and Malay texts read against the iconographic evidence on temple stone reliefs and metalware identify four types of “sleeping apparatus” in pre-Islamic Java: a mat unrolled on the floor; a wooden or bamboo bed-platform, standing on four or more legs, which were supported on stone or terracotta bases (umpaks); a movable bed consisting of a bedstead standing on wooden legs (what one might be tempted to call a “true” bed); and a canopy bed, which probably developed from the curtained bedchamber. The article also considers the elements that complete the beds’ functional equipment, such as mattress padding and curtains that ensure privacy for their users. Even in their terse form, the different sources can be used to develop hypotheses on the association of some of these beds with groups of people identified by social rank or gender, and on the influence of foreign furniture on the design of beds in Java. Finally, this study also seeks to determine the precise meaning of various Javanese terms used to designate items of furniture intended for rest or pleasure, as tilām/tilam, palaṅka, and jinǝm.

Authors: Almeida Victor Alisson de , Ramos Neto Wilson Gomes
Published: January 2025

Este artigo explora o desenvolvimento e os impactos das tecnologias de monitoramento eletrônico no contexto do sistema penal brasileiro e suas implicações para a Polícia Militar. O uso destes dispositivos permite o acompanhamento em tempo real da localização de apenados, surgindo como uma alternativa ao encarceramento e auxiliando na redução da superlotação prisional e na promoção da reintegração social. Objetiva-se compreender o balanço entre a segurança pública e os direitos individuais, sobretudo o direito à intimidade, posto que as tecnologias de monitoramento interferem na vida privada dos apenados. Para tanto, procedeu-se a uma análise qualitativa com revisão bibliográfica acerca da aplicação do monitoramento eletrônico sob a salvaguarda dos direitos individuais. Em adição, utilizar-se-á o método dedutivo para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, partindo de conceitos gerais acerca do direito à intimidade e segurança pública, para então compreender a abrangência do acesso a dados. O estudo também aborda o Projeto de Lei nº 989/2022, que propõe alterações no acesso aos dados de monitoramento eletrônico. O estudo conclui que o uso das tecnologias de monitoramento, tanto na legislação atual quanto com as possíveis mudanças do PL 989/2022, assegura a segurança pública. A proposta de flexibilização do compartilhamento de dados visa melhorar a eficiência da Polícia Militar no combate à criminalidade, sem comprometer a proteção dos direitos fundamentais dos indivíduos monitorados.

Aspectos sobre a hipotensão intradialítica em pacientes com doença renal crônica em hemodiálise: revisão da literatura
Authors: Mesquita Jêniffer Oleastro Sotelo de , Sousa Hivis da Costa , Fecury Amanda Alves
Published: January 2025

A Doença Renal Crônica (DRC) é uma condição relevante de morbimortalidade, com prevalência global estimada em 10% da população. O tratamento da DRC envolve a terapia de substituição renal, sendo a hemodiálise a principal modalidade realizada no Brasil. Durante as sessões de hemodiálise, diversas complicações agudas podem ocorrer, sendo a hipotensão intradialítica a mais prevalente, chegando a afetar até 30% das sessões. Essa complicação está associada a desfechos clínicos desfavoráveis, como a interrupção da terapia dialítica, maior risco de hospitalização e mortalidade. A redução na pressão arterial sistólica intradialítica e a hipotensão ortostática estão associadas a maior mortalidade. Diversas abordagens têm sido investigadas, como o uso de sertralina, controle do volume sanguíneo e ajustes no procedimento dialítico. A hipotensão intradialítica é uma complicação relevante que requer atenção e intervenções multifatoriais para prevenir desfechos adversos nesses pacientes.
Desafios e avanços acerca dos raros subtipos de sarcoma de esôfago: um enfoque no leiomiossarcoma, rabdomiossarcoma e sarcoma sinovial
Authors: Castro Frederico Bregunci de , Ribeiro Letícia Ceccotti , Fernandes André de Tassis Cabral , Sá Maria Vargas Soares de , Abreu Luana Almeida
Published: January 2025

Introdução: O carcinoma epidermoide e o adenocarcinoma representam 95% dos tumores malignos do esôfago. Compondo uma fração dos outros 5%, o sarcoma de esôfago e seus subtipos, como o leiomiossarcoma, o rabdomiossarcoma e o sarcoma sinovial, representam algumas das raras entidades que são derivadas da proliferação de células mesenquimais. Objetivo: Caracterizar os três subtipos de SE, de acordo com as evidências atuais da literatura. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura. Utilizou-se a estratégia PICO para a elaboração da pergunta norteadora. Ademais, realizou-se o cruzamento dos descritores “Sarcoma”; “Câncer de Esôfago”; “Leiomiossarcoma”; “Rabdomiossarcoma” e “Sarcoma Sinovial”, nas bases de dados National Library of Medicine (PubMed MEDLINE), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO), Ebscohost, Google Scholar e Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS). Resultados e Discussão: O leiomiossarcoma é o mais frequente, geralmente associado a um prognóstico favorável, mas com diagnóstico pré-operatório difícil. O rabdomiossarcoma, subdividido em outras três formas (embrionário, alveolar e pleomórfico), é uma entidade extremamente rara, associada a metástases e recidivas precoces, o que reforça seu caráter agressivo. O sarcoma sinovial, de crescimento mais lento e sintomatologia menos expressiva, apresenta predileção por metástases pulmonares, linfonodais e medulares. Conclusão: Em virtude da raridade dos casos, da escassez de estudos científicos robustos e bem estruturados, o conhecimento acerca do SE apresenta diversos desafios. É necessário que mais estudos sejam realizados, a fim de expandir o conhecimento e, consequentemente, melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes afetados por essa entidade.

Published: January 2025

O ensino de primeiros socorros nas escolas brasileiras é um tema que tem ganhado destaque nos últimos anos, uma vez que os acidentes preveníveis são a principal causa de morte em crianças. Ademais, a Lei 13.722/2018 exige que escolas capacitem anualmente seus funcionários em primeiros socorros. Dada a importância do tema, revisar a literatura sobre o ensino de primeiros socorros nas escolas brasileiras permite explorar tanto os benefícios dessa prática quanto os obstáculos enfrentados para sua plena adoção. Foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica com base nas plataformas de pesquisa PubMed e LILACS, por meio do uso dos descritores "First aid" AND "Health education" AND ("Students" OR "Schools"), e selecionando os artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, em inglês e português. Foram excluídas manualmente pesquisas que não eram condizentes com o tema ou que não possuíam o texto completo disponível, e 4 foram adicionadas por busca ativa, obtendo-se uma amostra final de 16 artigos. Os estudos mostraram que a capacitação de professores os torna multiplicadores do conhecimento, enquanto a formação de alunos, incluindo metodologias de ensino entre pares, melhora a resposta a emergências. A inclusão de primeiros socorros no currículo escolar e o uso de metodologias ativas são cruciais para a eficácia dos programas, exigindo apoio institucional para uma implementação adequada. Contudo, vários desafios à integração, como a estrutura logística inadequada, o suporte institucional e a falta de formação contínua foram igualmente notados na revisão. A comparação com as experiências internacionais sugeriu grandes lacunas entre a realidade brasileira e outros países.

Tampouco houve correlação significativa entre tempo de bolsa rota e o escore de APGAR. Ademais, foi identificada correlação moderada entre o tempo de bolsa rota e tempo de internação do RN, além de correlação negativa moderada entre o peso do RN e tempo de internação. Conclusão: O estudo não encontrou dados que indiquem um pior desfecho neonatal em gestações com mais de 34 semanas com ruptura prolongada de membranas amnióticas.
FEATURES OF DECENTRALIZATION IN THE UK: EXPERIENCE OF INTERACTION BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND CIVIL SOCIETY FOR UKRAINE
Authors: Andrieieva Olha , Larina Nataliia , Ruban Yurii
Published: January 2025

The article establishes that Brexit has put decentralization in the UK under serious threat. It is stated that there is a sharp gap between the way decentralization agreements are interpreted in Westminster and the way they are interpreted in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Brexit has caused serious divisions between the main ruling parties in Northern Ireland - Sinn Féin, which heads the regional government and advocates a reunited Ireland, and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), which advocates the region remaining within the UK. The article explores how the UK governments could conclude new UK-wide agreements. The focus is on the environment, agriculture and fisheries, three policy areas in which the powers devolved to the regions in the process of decentralization are in significant conflict with post-Brexit EU law.
It is proved that decentralization in the United Kingdom is closely linked to its membership of the EU, which provides an external system of support for internal governance. Brexit destabilizes the internal settlement and raises a number of serious constitutional issues. The UK's membership of the EU has reduced the possibilities for secession and independence in both Scotland and Northern Ireland. This is because the seceding territories were supposed to share an economic and regulatory space with England. Thus, the vertical scaling up to the EU and down to the subnational level largely coincided.
The article establishes that the decentralization settlement was achieved during the UK's membership of the EU and is deeply rooted in it at the legislative level. For those in favour of Brexit, EU membership contradicts the unitary vision of the state based on the supremacy of parliament. However, if we consider the UK as a union, there are many similarities between it and the EU. The development of relations between the government and civil society plays a significant role in the decentralization process, which can be useful for Ukraine in the context of its integration processes into the EU.
INNOVATIVE MECHANISMS FOR IMPLEMENTING STATE ECONOMIC POLICY FOR POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION OF UKRAINE: QUANTUM TRANSFORMATIONS AS A DRIVER OF DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Shkuratov Oleksiy , Antonova Liudmila , Dzyuba Roman
Published: January 2025

The article emphasizes that quantum technologies are one of the key industries that can contribute to rapid economic growth and technological breakthrough. The quantum transformation of Ukraine's economy in the conditions of post-war recovery can become an important component of the state investment policy, which will stimulate innovative development and increase the country's competitiveness in the international arena. It is well-founded that its formation is one of the key trends in the development of the world's leading countries. Ukraine does not stand aside from global trends and strives for active integration into the world community, and therefore, for quantum transformation of the country. It is emphasized that quantum technologies have once already overturned the usual reality, giving us smartphones, ultra-flat TVs and, in general, all modern electronics. The second quantum revolution involves the introduction of quantum computers, quantum cryptography and quantum communication, capable of accelerating the development of new materials, optimizing logistics chains and increasing the level of data security. It is emphasized that the importance of these technologies is difficult to overestimate, as they become key elements in the struggle for technological superiority and have a significant impact on key economic processes. It was emphasized that the development of quantum technologies and implementation of quantum transformation require large-scale investments. Countries such as the USA, China, Great Britain, EU countries, etc. have already invested billions in the creation of super-powerful quantum computers, the development of quantum cryptography algorithms, and the scaling of quantum communication. It was emphasized that Ukraine needs serious efforts to meet the challenges and opportunities of the Second Quantum Revolution, as ignoring the quantum transformation will have serious consequences for the country's economy. It is justified that, exhausted by the full-scale invasion of Russian aggressors, Ukraine currently does not have the necessary financial resources for the development and introduction of quantum technologies. It has been proven that it is possible to improve the situation only if a balanced state investment policy for quantum transformation of the country is developed and implemented. A road map of the sequence of actions for the formation of the state policy on quantum transformation investment is proposed, the management of which will create a favourable environment for attracting investments and thereby accelerating the quantum transformation of the Ukrainian economy.
Meninos, Poetas e Heróis: Aspectos de Cassiano Ricardo do Modernismo ao Estado Novo
Authors: Franco Moreira Luiza
Published: January 2025

No ponto de partida deste livro estão três imagens de Cassiano Ricardo, aparentemente díspares: o poeta de Martim Cererê (1928), livro que em sua décima primeira edição continua atraindo leitores até a atualidade; o escritor modernista, considerado pela crítica mais por sua importância documental; o ideólogo estadonovista que escreveu Marcha para Oeste (1940) e foi diretor de um jornal de propaganda do governo, estudado sobretudo pelos historiadores. Luiza Moreira investiga aqui a convergência entre essas faces, percorrendo os textos de gêneros diversos que Cassiano produziu dos anos de 1920 até o período em que se definiu como um propagandista de Getúlio Vargas, para analisar o substrato temático comum que atravessa a poesia, a prosa e os textos jornalísticos do autor.

Inventory taking is essential for managing production or warehouse operations, as it allows for precise control of the quantity, location, and status of products. However, this task can be demanding, requiring constant staff involvement and breaks in activities. Computer vision technology facilitates automatic inventory monitoring by detecting and recognizing objects, allowing for accurate quantification of boxes stacked on a platform using distance estimation algorithms. This project is divided into two phases: the development of software for inventory monitoring and counting, and the creation of an autonomous prototype for monitoring in production environments. Currently, work is focused on the first phase, which includes training the detection model, setting up an inference server, and integrating it into a web interface for inventory consumption and monitoring.

The main contributions of this research are that it analyzes the internal market from the aspect of income and salaries in certain Latin American economies with current techniques in the focus of the Input-Output model (growth and not impact) that allow exploring the structural dynamics of the economies. The key aspects are in the field of social sciences and in particular of economics, since development is discussed and it is argued that this requires the intervention of the State through the strengthening of the internal market, although this situation is not a characteristic of the Mexican economy, but of several Latin American economies. The work makes an evaluation of income and wages in different countries and with the techniques used it is possible to conclude which countries have a better internal market according to the performance of product growth, wages and income. In this paper, the analysis of the domestic market has been with the effects of consumption, income and wages, assuming that in the total accounts these activities are performed by residents of a country. The results suggest that by these elements the economies analyzed during 1995 and 2011 have significantly affected the domestic market. That the intention to integrate the economies to the external market is by reducing labor costs that are reflected in low levels of income and wage growth and activity in general.
Challenges of sustainable urban development in the face of climate change: analysis and proposals
Authors:   Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Flores-González Sergio
Published: January 2025

By 2020, the human population exceeded eight billion inhabitants, of which 60% are located in urban areas and their regions. Accelerated urbanization is the product of an economic system that encourages competitiveness and technological innovation but also generates multiple contrasts, one of which was pointed out by ECLAC, since the greatest market failure is climate change. The central objective is to analyze the structural causes that impact urban development, as well as its relationship with climate change and, based on this, generate alternative solutions. New forms of territorial configuration, such as metropolises and megalopolises, tend to be a determining factor in the worsening of the effects of climate change and lead to greater social risk and vulnerability. Public policies must be oriented towards a model in which social participation is a determining element.

Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Hernández-Álvarez Federico
Published: January 2025

It is proposed to use the common factor of a Mixed Frequency Dynamic Factor Model (MFD-FM) to monitor business cycles in the US in real time; The MFD-FM was defined as a NowCasting type model with two factors: a common factor, which captures the co-movement between the variables and another that estimates the idiosyncratic movements of each of them. Five key macroeconomic indicators were used and the Kalman filter was used for the estimates. The proposed model was able to identify the impact of the Subprime crises, COVID-19 and the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. It is proposed to use this model for other countries and business sectors.

Authors: Suárez-Martínez José Miguel
Published: January 2025

The documentary NOMADS was born within one of the intellectual products of the Erasmus+ project on human rights HUMREV that was coordinated by the IES Cabo de la Huerta in Alicante from 2016 to 2018. One of the pillars of the project was raising awareness about the problem of migration from a perspective that valued the involvement of the entire educational community. The highlighting of the potential deployed in NOMADS at a collaborative, organizational, creative, artistic and narrative level of an entire educational community is the main objective of this contribution made within the FIET-Cat 2024 under the commitment to disseminate the intellectual products of the aforementioned Erasmus+ project. By inserting the three basic principles of the project: connection, participation and awareness, it is also evident that the capacity for teamwork, voluntarily and selflessly, of an entire educational community is capable of offering a high-level audiovisual and educational result, as well as promoting awareness about the human rights of migrants in an increasingly globalized society. The different organizational and narrative tools that were implemented in this project based on evidence of implementation are collected.

Published: January 2025

Leveraging quality models to establish a robust digital ecosystem is imperative in the Industry 4.0 era. Existing Academic Information System (AIS) software often lacks comprehensive adoption of quality models as core system instruments. As a critical component of the education sector's digital transformation, AIS represents a vital ecosystem for facilitating efficiency and innovation in this industrial era. This study addresses these gaps by implementing a comprehensive quality framework for AIS, integrating cloud computing for enhanced security and privacy, and employing the Web-Based Application Quality Model (WBAQM) as the primary development framework. The research also utilizes ISO 9126 and ISO/IEC 25010 quality models to establish usability and security standards, while the Academic Information System Quality Instrument (AISQI) is introduced to evaluate system performance. Additionally, the COBIT framework is applied to audit and enhance AIS functionality, ensuring alignment with academic and operational needs. The findings demonstrate that adopting quality models significantly improves the reliability, usability, and security of AIS software, delivering a system that aligns with both functional requirements and user expectations. This research contributes to the digital transformation of educational institutions in Indonesia by providing a scalable and efficient AIS framework. By aligning with Industry 4.0 principles, the proposed model ensures quality assurance and fosters innovation, enabling educational institutions to adapt to evolving technological demands and improve overall institutional performance.

LAZOS MIGRATORIOS Y VÍNCULOS SOCIOPOLÍTICOS: ANÁLISIS DIACRÓNICO DE LAS RELACIONES ENTRE EL AYUNTAMIENTO DE LÁNCARA (GALICIA) Y CUBA A TRAVÉS DE LA FAMILIA CASTRO (1875-2022)
Authors: Rivera Capón Pablo , Díaz-Varela López Andrés
Published: January 2025

Este estudio investiga la relación histórica entre la familia Castro y el Ayuntamiento de Láncara, un pequeño municipio lucense vinculado a los líderes cubanos Fidel y Raúl a través de su padre, un emigrante campesino. Las conexiones entre estos actores, aunque heterodoxas, han persistido a lo largo del tiempo y han tenido un impacto significativo en los ámbitos político, social y cultural. A través de un análisis cualitativo, la investigación examina laintensidad de estos lazos y las circunstancias que dieron lugar a su formación, aportando una nueva perspectiva a la comprensión de las relaciones iberoamericanas a nivel microhistórico, un tema hasta ahora poco explorado y que puede sumar una valiosa contribución a los estudios sobre la inmigración española a América Latina.

LAS PRÁCTICAS APOTROPAICAS Y EL MUNDO FEMENINO EN LA RELIGIÓN DOMÉSTICA DE KARANIS
Authors: Souto Castro Iria
Published: January 2025

Este estudio ilustra los motivos religiosos apotropaicos relacionados con la fertilidad, parto, maternidad y cuidado infantil encontrados en casas en el yacimiento fayúmico de Karanis. El significado de las representaciones relevantes en artefactos y pinturas murales es discutido en el contexto de las estructuras arquitectónicas con las que están asociados y se argumenta que los objetos y decoraciones anteriores sugieren la perseverancia de actitudes faraónicas en la práctica doméstica de acciones religiosas con el mismo fin de protección. A través de la descripción y análisis de los objetos y estructuras arquitectónicas domésticas de culto, se pretende dar visibilidad al universo femenino religioso y privado de Karanis.
RELIGIÓN Y RITUALES DE GUERRA EN LA GRECIA ANTIGUA A TRAVÉS DE LAS FUENTES LITERARIAS
Authors: Blanco Rodríguez Susana
Published: January 2025

En la Grecia Antigua, la vida de los humanos estaba marcada por su relación con las divinidades, tanto en el plano público, como privado. En este artículo se analiza la implicación de las divinidades en la vida de los individuos a través del caso concreto de la guerra, aportando ejemplos que ponen de manifiesto que los guerreros no siempre eran responsables de su desenlace, ni de lo que ocurría en su transcurso. No cumplir con los rituales y las normas de la guerra, no sólo suponía la reprobación de la sociedad, sino también la de las divinidades, que no dudaban en castigar severamente las transgresiones. Veremos cómo las fuentes literarias evidencian la estricta y constante ritualización de todas y cada una de las pautas de la guerra y que la conexión con los dioses, a diferencia de la táctica y del armamento, permaneció invariable desde el siglo VIII a. C., momento que se considera que los poemas homéricos adquirieron su forma definitiva, hasta el siglo II d. C., época que refleja la obra de Pausanias.
