A Voz (timbre) como manifestação de preconceito
Authors: Santos Vera Lúcia Silva dos , Pinho Maria José Souza
Published: September 2023

Neste artigo procuramos discorrer sobre o silêncio imposto por conta do timbre de voz. Voz que silencia; que destoa do padrão cultural homem/mulher. O que leva, segundo análises de narrativas colhidas em “ouças” - pesquisa sobre os preconceitos sofridos pela população LGBTQIA+ realizada em uma escola da rede pública estadual, na Bahia, a sofrer preconceito, por conta da voz (timbre), atribuído à voz feminina. Este texto é um recorte da pesquisa de mestrado, procurando compreender como ocorrem os diversos tipos de preconceitos. Durante a pesquisa, algumas falas dos participantes evidenciaram o quanto o silenciam para não evidenciar suas falas e sofrer discriminação, como também evidenciam que a voz máscula (tida como padrão), seria um passaporte para ser aceito e se enquadrar nos padrões estabelecidos em que a voz é atribuída de acordo com o gênero aceito. Sob um contexto de análise de discurso.
Problemas y tendencias en educación contemporánea
Authors: Tomé José Manuel Salum
Published: September 2023

La gestión de la innovación; así como las organizaciones en general, públicas y privadas, ameritan un continuo análisis y seguimiento de las variables del contexto externo que le impactan. En este sentido, cabe destacar que los agentes educativos son los que hacen la innovación y de allí que su gestión y dirección juegan un rol clave. Los profesionales de la educación, más que nunca, necesitan conocer la manera de llegar a entender y comprender la complejidad de lo que significan las variables externas y su impacto en el quehacer educativo. A continuación, se presenta un modelo y método para su seguimiento. Es una invitación a conocer y a posesionarse como agentes de cambio en la práctica de la creatividad e innovación, sin descuidar en ningún momento, el impacto del contexto externo de la escuela, como se da en la Modalidad Dual (relación escuela – empresa). La escuela como organización escolar de calidad y la innovación educativa representan dos ámbitos llamados a ser debidamente relacionados, cuidadosamente analizados, estratégicamente planificados y animados para su desarrollo conjunto. La relación entre escuela como organización escolar de calidad y la innovación educativa tiene que ser vistas y justificadas tanto en el plano de la argumentación teórica como en el funcionamiento y vida institucional de las escuelas como espacios educativos tanto en ella, como en la empresa al aplicar la modalidad Dual. Ha de proyectarse, en el tiempo, en la articulación de la política educativa de un país y en las prácticas escolares que ocurren en las aulas. Considero que en nuestro país esta doble tarea está por realizarse. No hemos conseguido desarrollar hasta el momento, una tradición sólida de pensamiento pedagógico que haya explorado adecuadamente las implicaciones mutuas entre la calidad escolar y la innovación como proceso educativo.

Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare condition characterized by the presence of lung tissue without function and without connection with the airways and may present in two forms: intralobar or extralobar.1 More rarely, BPS may be associated with a gastrointestinal fistula. We report the case of a 20-year-old patient with a history of recurrent pneumonia and dependent ventilatory chest pain who, after contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography and upper digestive endoscopy, was diagnosed with pulmonary sequestration of the medial basal segment and presence of gastric fistula in the cardia region. The treatment was successfully performed through a left lobectomy.
Body and repetitive memory in autism
Authors: Sousa Cleuber Cristiano de , Novaes Joana de Vilhena
Published: September 2023

Objective: The objective of this work is to present the body as a memory of repetition in Autism and what would be the consequences arising from placing this body in relation to the internal and external world, with spaces, others and oneself. Methodology: The meaning can always be different and, in the specificity of the constitution of the autistic subject. Thus, the production of meanings is understood in comparisons, relations, dissonances, approximations and displacements. It is in the event and in the analysis of other materialities (non-linguistic) that we will present the results. Results: The experiential experiences of childhood and the relationships between mother and baby are paramount for the subjective constitution and the production of meanings in the formation of the psyche. The affective life, the emotions, the identifications and the strengthening of the bonds of social belonging are anchored in this phase and from there emanate all the threads that link the unconscious content. The study of the history of the mother A.S. and her relationship with the little R.A. demonstrated that the child with autism is constituted in the regressive and partial primary and secondary identifications, with a singularity of its own constituted in the repetition. The symbolic and imaginary contents to remember and repeat are repeated without success in the elaboration. Conclusion: From the personal history of the mother A.S. and the son R.A., all the premises about the affective life, formation of the psyche and unconscious come from the studies of Sigmund Freud and the successor psychoanalysts who affirmed or refuted his writings, contributing to psychoanalysis becoming a theory in process. The case study presented in this paper is about the four-year-old R.A. and his mother, his personal history and the constitution of a subjective body in the memory of repetition.
Social control as a form of participation in social assistance policy
Authors: Castro Márcia da Silva Pereira , Freitas Gleidiane Almeida de
Published: September 2023

Social control, as well as social participation are proposals that emerge in the Brazilian context from the mobilizations of organized civil society that demanded their insertion in the discussion and deliberation of public policies. Thus, as a result of the mobilizations of a democratic nature, the Federal Constitution of 1988 institutionalizes the formation of joint management councils to enable the monitoring of public policies by civil society. Through bibliographic and field research we were able to identify that participation is still limited in the exercise of social control, particularly regarding social assistance councils.

Published: September 2023

The β-Glucans has high biotechnological potential application in several industrial sectors. Then, the antioxidant and prebiotic activity of (1→3)-β-D-glucan obtained from the cell wall of R. Mucilaginosa yeast was evaluated. The strains tested Bifidobacterium Lactis and Bifidobacterium longum showed a comparable result with the commercially inulin. The digestibility of glucan was investigated in vitro by exposing them to artificial human gastric juice. The results show that not occurred hydrolysis of (1→3)-β-D-glucan under the studied conditions and the glucan remain undigested in 100%. Antioxidant capacity was evaluated by ABTS, DPPH and total antioxidant capacity test. The results of DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity showed a maximum inhibition percentage of 51.00% and the test of total antioxidant capacity showed that 10 mg/mL of (1→3)-β-D-glucan shows the same result as the use of the 222.27 ± 4.3 µg/mL ascorbic acid. The obtained results show that the (1→3)-β-D-glucan extracted from the cell wall of R. mucilaginosa has the potential to be explored as a food ingredient with functional capacity.
Fitness food: The denial of food taste because of the desired body
Authors: Costa Neuza Cristina Gomes da , Abonizio Juliana
Published: September 2023

Among the diversity of dietary practices and nutritional beliefs that coexist in contemporary times, we aim to unravel the relationship between a diet and a body shape, which has become known as fitness culture. To achieve our objective, we conducted eight interviews based on two criteria: self-identification and evidence of body shape that characterizes belonging to the corresponding lifestyle. For a better understanding of the phenomenon, we also performed participant observation in two places frequented by the subjects of the analysis: a bodybuilding gym and a crossfit box, in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso. Through the data constructed, it was possible to identify the use of scientific discourses to defend the effectiveness of a dietary pattern that includes products, ways of preparation, schedules among other variables, considered essential to obtain the desired body shape, hypertrophied and with low fat index. This body, although perceived as an individual responsibility, is supported by discourses of various modalities of health professionals, the media and other members who adopt the same lifestyle. However, we could also assess that the change in eating habits for insertion and acceptance in the fitness universe affects the sociability of the subjects, especially in the family space, but also in the entry and permanence in new groups of peers and withdrawal of old ones.

Published: September 2023

Heliostat is considered the component with the greatest impact on the costs of a CSP plant with a central tower and the use of the appropriate heliostat can generate reductions of up to 40% in energy losses. In this sense, it is necessary to nationalize the structural and optical components of the same as a cost mitigation measure, with solutions that favor the introduction of technology in the Brazilian agroindustry. In addition, there is a need for studies so that CSP technology adapts to tropical latitudes, which require shorter focal length and, therefore, the use of narrower heliostat fields than at latitudes such as Europe and the United States, places where CSP technology is already commercially established. The solution proposed in this study requires the use of a mirror with a curved surface in order to achieve the required concentration using a low number of heliostats, reduce spill losses and increase the amount of energy absorbed and, consequently, the performance of the solar plant. A reflective surface configuration was proposed, consisting of six horizontal mirror strips that were designed using the Autodesk Inventor program and submitted to structural analysis by the Finite Element Method (FEM) with the ANSYS Workbench program. In the simulations, a wind load that can occur in São Paulo was applied and the results of stress and deformation in the mirrors were analyzed. In order to optimize the use of material in the mirror, two thicknesses were proposed: 4 and 7 mm. The 4 mm thick mirror can become a solution, although it has been shown to be susceptible to tension caused by the wind, near the central connecting elements positioned next to the support of the drive system. In addition, an option to connect the mirrors to the frame via an L-shaped angle bracket is presented as a solution.
Incorporation of chromium residue from tannery in black and red clay

Published: September 2023

Brazil has a large amount of clay reserves scattered throughout the country, but due to environmental awareness, restrictive laws and conservation units there is a restriction of the availability of this mineral resource. In addition, ceramics are widely studied for waste encapsulation, aiming at cost benefit and sustainability. One of these residues is chromium from leather tanning, it has polluting characteristics mainly because it contains Chromium (Cr)III. This work aimed to study the feasibility of incorporating tannery residue in ceramic materials, using different clays. For this, two types of clay were selected and incorporated 0, 1 and 2% of tannery residue with 8.03% of Cr, molded ceramic bodies, and then extruded. The bodies were dried and burned at temperatures of 900ºC and 1050ºC. The characterization of the raw materials showed through the limits of Atterberg that red clay is more plastic than black clay. In general, the results of incorporation of residues in red clay were better than in black clay. In fact, the red clay in the presence of tannery residue showed lower linear retraction, lower water absorption, less mass loss to fire and rupture tension. Thus, as for the addition of chromium, associated with temperatures of 1050º C it can be said that the ceramics made of red clay had their characteristics improved, without changing the plasticity parameters and the physicochemical properties of the tested ceramics. This study shows a feasibility for an ecologically more appropriate destination of tannery waste.

Published: September 2023

The styloid process consists of a thin bony projection originating from the temporal bone, in its inferior face, where muscles and ligaments of the head and neck are inserted. Eagle Syndrome was first described in 1937 by Watt Eagle, and is configured by the increase in the styloid process associated with symptoms of pain in the cervical region and carotid compression. It is a rare pathology and still little widespread, but of great relevance as a differential diagnosis for causes of temporo-mandibular dysfunctions, odynophagia and cervicalgia. With varied etiology, the elongation of the styloid process causes symptoms to the patient according to its size and compression of adjacent structures, being the most effective surgical treatment in the resolution of the complaints of the affected patient.

College students are vulnerable to disorders like depression, when it comes to medical students, there is a higher prevalence comparing to the general population. This research aims to determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms in medical students from the first and fourth year of the institution of Belém/PA. This is a cross-sectional study and the data collection instrument was Beck Depression Inventory. 160 students answered to the questionnaire, constituting a sample of 62,5% of the population. Among these, 42,5% had depressive symptoms, 13,7% had moderate to severe symptoms and 28,7% had mild symptoms. The prevalence of depressive symptoms in medical students is higher than in the general and similar student population and the data collected from corroborate this statement.
Boca Rosa Beauty and BBB 20 20: Storytelling Analysis
Authors: Pinheiro Eduardo Henrique Alves , Zanoni Giovana , Carrino Adauto Luiz
Published: September 2023

The present work aims to perform an analysis of the storytelling in the "BBB 20" campaign by the Boca Rosa Beauty brand, as well as its concept on social media. Therefore, some theoretical support will be provided by referencing existing works and studies in the scientific literature, through bibliographic and electronic research addressing the topics of digital marketing and storytelling. In this way, we understand that marketing adds meaning to the product, brand, or service, as it places them in a commercial, emotional, historical, and cultural context. On the other hand, storytelling is the ability to tell stories using intricate plots, engaging narratives, and audiovisual resources. Thus, the campaign analyzed in this work corresponds to the one Bianca Andrade developed for her participation in the 20th edition of the reality show Big Brother Brazil, broadcasted in 2020. The company employs marketing strategies for each campaign developed with the aim of consistently maintaining price and quality for its target audience while simultaneously seeking to expand its viewership through contemporary methods.
The Use of Physical Rehabilitation to Improve Outcome Following Traumatic Brain Injury in Dog- A Case Report
Authors: Shaw Leann , Yoquelet Rachel , Bowditch Jessica , Buckley Christy , Murakami Masahiro , Thomovsky Stephanie
Published: September 2023

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the canine patient is a common sequela to head trauma accidents such as vehicular trauma or high-rise falls. A 3-year-old, intact female mixed breed dog presented to Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine following a suspected hawk attack. At presentation, this non-ambulatory, tetraparetic, mentally inappropriate, and stuporous patient was diagnosed with suspected TBI secondary to trauma. Physical rehabilitation was initiated and continued during the hospitalization period and afterwards on an outpatient basis. Rehabilitation focused on a combination of mental stimulation, proprioceptive and balance work, and sensory stimulation. Therapies and exercises used consisted of massage, stretching, passive range of motion (PROM), assisted standing, weight shifting, underwater treadmill (UWTM), and the use of textured surfaces, music, and positive encouragement. The patient’s coordination, balance, and mentation greatly improved. At a follow-up visit 4 months post-injury, she could ambulate with no assistance and had minimal neurological deficits. Physical rehabilitation after TBI in humans is considered to be standard of care. In this veterinary patient, rehabilitation contributed to healing, return of function, and good quality of life.
Overview of Botanical Therapies for Oral Conditions
Authors: August Kris
Published: September 2023

Oral disease is a common concern that affects quality of life, particularly in geriatric and end-of-life patients. Treatments including dental cleaning, antibiotic therapy, and pain control are often needed to resolve conditions and to maintain comfort. Botanical therapies may also be useful in the treatment of various oral conditions including infections, inflammation, wounds, ulcerations, and in palliation of oral neoplasms. In animal patients, common administration is via herbal infusions as oral washes, either through supple- mental drinking water or syringe application. Topical gel and honey formulations have the advantage of remaining in contact with tissues longer than water-based teas. A brief overview of plants frequently used for oral care traditionally and from the current literature is presented here with the intention of comparing their benefits and translating these into options for animal treatment. Much of the available research on botanicals for oral health is conducted on human patients and laboratory animals often using the antiseptic chlorhexidine as a standard for comparison. Due to the high rate of adverse effects reported with chlorhexidine usage, herbal alternatives may need to be considered, as they may provide similar therapeutic achievements while minimizing negative side effects.
Procedibilidad de la garantía jurisdiccional de habeas corpus frente a la crisis carcelaria en Ecuador, año 2022
Authors: Pacheco León Jorge Fernando
Published: September 2023

La realidad pragmática del sistema penitenciario ecuatoriano ha dado lugar a que los índices delincuenciales se desborden a niveles casi insostenibles, en virtud de la falta de control efectivo por parte del Estado, generando la conformación de bandas delincuenciales, llegando a tener estructuras mejor equipadas y organizadas que las mismas instituciones de control como la Policía, incluso estas mafias han influenciado con su poder a los mismos integrantes policiales quienes se convierten en piezas claves para desactivar cualquier acción anti delincuencial. Cabe aclarar que este tipo de delincuencia organizada posee una estructura interna de funciones específicas, por lo que se puede pensar que existe una diferencia entre la violencia por la lucha por el poder en las cárceles, así como por la muerte violenta en estos espacios.

Published: September 2023

The Soropia region (including Toronipa) is a disaster-prone area and has a high level of risk. The potential for earthquake events in the future is very likely to occur, so mitigation efforts should be carried out to reduce risk and community preparedness efforts in facing (emergency response) earthquake and tsunami disasters. The initial stage was conducting socialization and assessing the ability of the community to organize earthquake and tsunami disaster mitigation activities in Toronipa Village, Soropiah District, Konawe Regency. The result is that there is a change in the mindset and attitude patterns of the people of Toronipa Village to prepare themselves according to the prevention and preparedness criteria. In order to help the community responsible for the earthquake and tsunami disaster, this activity is implemented into the provision of a geographic information system in the form of route maps and assembly points, as well as proper evacuation main points. However, it is necessary to provide disaster facilities and infrastructure in Toronipa Village to provide preparedness for earthquakes and tsunamis which are very likely to occur at any time.
A case report on modern-day scurvy
Authors: Feng Zhaolun , Musaad Samarina
Published: September 2023

Scurvy, from the Latin word scorbutus meaning to rupture or lacerate, refers to the clinical disease caused by nutritional deficiency of Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid), with characteristic mucocutaneous and mus- culoskeletal features. It was originally described in the 18th century by James Lind and associated with long sea voyages and insufficient citrus consumption. Despite much decrease in prevalence, it still exists in developed countries. This case reports on an older male who presented with general lethargy, gum disease and easy bruising. His dietary history suggested global nutrient deficiency. Investigations excluded common causes of bleeding: trauma, coagulopathies, vasculitis, and malignancy. A low Vitamin C level confirmed the diagnosis of scurvy. This report serves to remind clinicians to consider scurvy as a possible working diagnosis in at-risk patients.
Should New Zealand medical schools use a lottery system to select their students?
Authors: Andrew Albert
Published: September 2023

Over the years, entry into New Zealand medical programmes has become increasingly difficult and controversial. Many worthy candidates are rejected from medical school despite having a strong academic background and excellent non-academic attributes. Medical schools’ obsession over choosing the most “outstanding” applicants has created great concern over the fairness and predictive ability of current medical school selection procedures, with some scholars pro- posing the use of a lottery admission system to select future medical students. This paper examines the issues related to the current selection system and evaluates the potential feasibility for a lottery to become a more neutral, inclusive, and fairer admission system.
Traumatic brain injuries in Aotearoa New Zealand adolescents: Health inequity pathways from upstream factors to downstream causes
Authors: S. Chauhan Angad
Published: September 2023

Traumatic brain injuries are socially patterned in Aotearoa, with males, Māori, Pasifika, rural, and adolescent populations experiencing disproportionately higher rates. These inequitable health outcomes may be attributed to various risk factors that either increase exposure to dangerous settings or promote high risk-taking behaviour. These factors are driven by upstream social determinants including colonisation, institutional racism, law enforcement agencies, government, socio-economic status (SES), and cultural environment.
Understanding and addressing the impact of dyslexia as a medical student: a literature review
Authors: Ramji Rajan , Wearn Andy
Published: September 2023

Dyslexia is a type of specific learning disability (SLD) or inclusive learning disorder (ILD) characterised by variable, but often significant, difficulties with reading comprehension and writing. The disorder is often associated with speech or verbal processing difficulties and memory problems. Issues with oral language communication may also occur, although these alone are not an indicator of dyslexia.

No standardised international or national guidelines exist for supporting tertiary students with dyslexia. However, Australian and New Zealand tertiary institutions provide non-specific student disability services. Despite the provision of these services and the promotion of inclusive learning environments, students with dyslexia continue to face unique challenges that can persist as they enter the workforce.
Data analytics for mobile traffic in 5G networks using machine learning techniques
Authors:   , Trinh Hoang Duy
Published: September 2023

This thesis collects the research works I pursued as Ph.D. candidate at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC). Most of the work has been accomplished at the Mobile Network Department Centre Tecnologic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC). The main topic of my research is the study of mobile network traffic through the analysis of operative networks dataset using machine learning techniques.
Understanding first the actual network deployments is fundamental for next-generation network (5G) for improving the performance and Quality of Service (QoS) of the users. The work starts from the collection of a novel type of dataset, using an over-the-air monitoring tool, that allows to extract the control information from the radio-link channel, without harming the users’ identities. The subsequent analysis comprehends a statistical characterization of the traffic and the derivation of prediction models for the network traffic.
A wide group of algorithms are implemented and compared, in order to identify the highest performances. Moreover, the thesis addresses a set of applications in the context mobile networks that are prerogatives in the future mobile networks. This includes the detection of urban anomalies, the user classification based on the demanded network services, the design of a proactive wake-up scheme for efficient-energy devices.

Esta tesis recoge los trabajos de investigación que realicé como Ph.D. candidato a la Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC). La mayor parte del trabajo se ha realizado en el Centro Tecnológico de Telecomunicaciones de Catalunya (CTTC) del Departamento de Redes Móviles. El tema principal de mi investigación es el estudio del tráfico de la red móvil a través del análisis del conjunto de datos de redes operativas utilizando técnicas de aprendizaje automático. Comprender primero las implementaciones de red reales es fundamental para la red de próxima generación (5G) para mejorar el rendimiento y la calidad de servicio (QoS) de los usuarios. El trabajo comienza con la recopilación de un nuevo tipo de conjunto de datos, utilizando una herramienta de monitoreo por aire, que permite extraer la información de control del canal de radioenlace, sin dañar las identidades de los usuarios. El análisis posterior comprende una caracterización estadística del tráfico y la derivación de modelos de predicción para el tráfico de red. Se implementa y compara un amplio grupo de algoritmos para identificar los rendimientos más altos. Además, la tesis aborda un conjunto de aplicaciones en el contexto de redes móviles que son prerrogativas en las redes móviles futuras. Esto incluye la detección de anomalías urbanas, la clasificación de usuarios basada en los servicios de red demandados, el diseño de un esquema de activación proactiva para dispositivos de energía eficiente.
Contribución al estudio de mejora de prestaciones del protocolo TCP en diferentes entornos
Authors:   , Calveras Augé Anna M.
Published: September 2023

Internet, la mayor red de ordenadores del mundo, formada por millones de terminales repartidos por todo el planeta, está basada en la arquitectura de protocolos TCP/IP, cuyas aplicaciones más utilizadas son, sin duda, el correo electrónico, la transferencia de ficheros, el acceso remoto y el acceso a la Web. Todas ellas tienen en común el protocolo de transporte que utilizan, TCP [Ste94, RFC793, RFC2581], que es extremo a extremo, fiable y orientado a conexión.

Los protocolos de la arquitectura TCP/IP fueron diseñados para ser utilizados en redes compuestas únicamente por ordenadores fijos y en las que el principal problema era la limitación en el ancho de banda disponible y la tasa de error de bit. Tanto las tecnologías de red como las necesidades de los usuarios han ido evolucionando, debiendo hacer un esfuerzo importante en la adecuación de los protocolos para su comportamiento óptimo en los nuevos entornos.
En primer lugar se ha evolucionado hacia entornos de alta velocidad en los que las líneas de transmisión son extremadamente fiables, con lo cual el problema de la transmisión fiable extremo a extremo se centra en la pérdida de paquetes debido a los problemas de congestión de los nodos de conmutación de la red. Para obtener buenas prestaciones del protocolo deben plantearse mecanismos que actúen de forma eficiente en los casos de congestión.

Siguiendo la evolución, actualmente se plantea el uso de este tipo de protocolos sobre el canal radio móvil, el cuál presenta características muy diferentes. La velocidad reducida de los enlaces y la elevada tasa de error en bit (BER) son el aspecto diferencial. Por lo tanto, un aspecto crítico a la hora de determinar la viabilidad de ofrecer servicios de datos basados en aplicaciones TCP/IP en redes móviles es el del análisis de las posibilidades de acoplamiento de esta arquitectura de protocolos a este nuevo enlace de comunicación.
Tráfico de telefonía móvil: caracterización e implicaciones del tiempo de ocupación del canal
Authors:   , Barceló Arroyo Francisco
Published: September 2023

En el capítulo 1 se presentan algunos conceptos básicos relacionados con el tráfico de voz, junto a los modelos más comúnmente utilizados en la evaluación y dimensionado de sistemas de telefonía móvil. En todos los casos se presentan evaluaciones exactas, es decir deducidas analíticamente para los modelos expuestos. A su vez se discute y cuestiona la idoneidad de las hipótesis que se asumen en cada modelo. Se tratan en este capítulo algunos temas básicos de teletráfíco como modelos jerárquicos de tráfico, prioridades, poblaciones finita e infinita, modelos de traspasos en telefonía celular, etc.

El capítulo 2 presenta la caracterización de la duración de los mensajes de tráfico telefónico en sistemas PAMR, demostrándose que la distribución de ocupación del canal si la gestión se realiza por mensaje (a nivel de llamada) es hipoexponencial. La forma en que los resultados del capítulo 2 pueden ser utilizadas en la evaluación de sistemas es presentada en el capítulo 3, en el que se introducen procesos de colas M/G/í con distribución hipoexponencial de la ocupación del canal. A diferencia de los resultados del capítulo 1 que son soluciones analíticas exactas, en este caso los resultados presentados son aproximaciones precisas y de fácil cómputo.

Al igual que el capítulo 2, el capítulo 4 presenta caracterización de tráficos, pero en sistemas en los que el tiempo de ocupación del canal sigue una distribución hiperexponencial: sistemas PMR con gestión por transmisión y telefonía móvil pública celular. A su vez el capítulo 5 introduce métodos que permiten considerar dichas distribuciones en la evaluación y dimensionado de sistemas, también en forma de aproximaciones.

Por tanto en esta tesis se presentan trabajos y contribuciones en dos ámbitos: el de la caracterización de tráficos, y el de las aproximaciones en colas M/G/s con y sin prioridad. Es obvio que se trata de dos vertientes complementarias de un mismo problema. De poco va a servir el esfuerzo realizado en caracterizar un tráfico si no podemos incorporar dicha caracterización en la evaluación (aunque la caracterización siempre es útil para alimentar simulaciones de forma más precisa). Por otra parte las aproximaciones son inútiles si no sabemos con que cifras substituir los símbolos de las ecuaciones. Desde este enfoque se puede decir que los capítulos 2 y 3 son complementarios entre sí, al igual que lo son los capítulos 4 y 5.
Design of secure mobile payment protocols for restricted connectivity scenarios
Authors:   , Téllez Isaac Jesús Augusto
Published: September 2023

The emergence of mobile and wireless networks made posible the extensión of electronic commerce to a new area of research: mobile commerce called m-commerce, which includes mobile payment), that refers to any e-commerce transaction made from a mobile device using wireless networks. Most of the mobile payment systems found in the literatura are based on the full connectivity scenario where all the entities are directly connected one to another but do not support business models with direct communication restrictions between the entities of the system is not a impediment to perform comercial transactions. It is for this reason that mobile payment systems that consider those situations where direct communications between entities of the system is not posible (temporarily or permanently) basically due to the impossibility of one of the entities connected to the Internet are required. In order to solve the current shortage in the scientific world of previous research works that address the problema of on-line payment from mobile devices in connectivity restricted scenarios, in this thesis we propose a set of secure payment protocols (that use both symmetric and non-traditional asymmetric cryptography), which have low computational power requirements, are fit for scenarios with communications restrictions (where at least two of the entities of the system cannot exchange information in a direct way and must do it through another entity) and offer the same security capabilities as those protocols designed for full connectivity scenarios. The proposed protocols are applicable to other types of networks, such as vehicular ad hoc network (VANETs), where services exist which require on-line payment and scenarios with communication restrictions.On the other hand, the implementation (in a multiplatform programming language) of the designed protocols shows that their performance is suitable for devices with limited computational power.

Passion as Judgment
Authors: Lombardi Sofia ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: September 2023

Ancient sources present mainly two Stoic definitions of passion: as an irrational and unnatural movement of the soul, and as an excessive impulse. These definitions hold for the Stoics in general, and undoubtedly for Zeno. However, in other sources, passion is seen as a judgment or as what supervenes on judgment. In this case, some sources refer to Zeno, others to Chrysippus, and still others do not refer to any particular Stoic philosopher, so it is unclear whether the idea of judgment was already present in Zeno or is an innovation of his successor. Starting from this problem, I attempt to reconstruct the meaning of Stoic passion, with a particular interest in the definition of passion as judgment. In this way I will try to show that the apparently different positions of Zeno and Chrysippus are in fact the same when viewed within the framework of the Stoic theory of action.
Philosophy and the War
Authors: Mauthner Fritz , Hainscho Thomas ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: September 2023

Fritz Mauthner’s essay Die Philosophie und der Krieg, published in October 1914, is among the nationalist writings of Mauthner written during the First World War. The essay explores the question of returning to philosophy after the war. Asking this question, Mauthner examines the relationship between war and philosophy and argues that the two concepts do not share any substantial points of contact. During his discussion, an unspoken premise of the question about the return to philosophy is revealed: as the science of reason, philosophy cannot understand war. The profession of philosophy can neither contribute to a military victory nor end the people’s suffering. Hence, philosophers should remain silent in times of war. Mauthner himself did not adhere to his demand. In 1914, he believed that Germany would be victorious, and emphasised in his essay that war reveals a new meaning of life by giving a meaning to death.

The problem of prisons in Indonesia has not been resolved until now. There are 3 (three) main problems to date, namely, Overcrowded Prisoners, Lack of Human Resources in Prisons and Large Costs. This greatly affects the rights of prisoners themselves, where the rights of prisoners have been regulated both in International (Standard minimum Rules For The Treatment Of Prisoner) and National provisions (Law Number 22 of 2022 concerning Corrections). This research aims to answer legal problems regarding how the government has been managing prisons and private prisons as an alternative solution to the problems of prisons in Indonesia. To answer the research problem, this study uses a type of normative legal research with a legal approach, concepts and comparisons. The data used are secondary data supported by primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials obtained through literature research or document studies. The results of this study show that in managing prisons, legally Indonesia has made significant improvements and more implemented the human rights system by changing the orientation of retaliation to coaching prisoners. However, in its implementation, the Indonesian government still finds it difficult to implement these noble intentions and until now there are 3 (three) major problems that have not been addressed, namely Overcrowded Prisoners, Lack of Human Resources in Prisons and Large Costs. To be able to implement these noble intentions, there is an alternative solution, namely the implementation of private prisons with the Public Private Partnership system or Hybrid System where this system has been successfully applied in France and produces efficiency for the state
CPEC: Challenges, Opportunities and Socio-Economic Impact on The Muslim World

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a flagship project within China's ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It stands as a corridor encompassing road, railway and maritime infrastructure development, primarily aimed at fostering economic growth. This vast network extends its reach across the Asian continent, with Pakistan at its center, while also involving other Muslim-majority nations, including Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and several Central Asian States. The key promise of CPEC lies in its potential to revitalize the economies of developing countries at large and Muslim-majority nations in particular. The allure of CPEC for participating nations is evident, especially for those facing financial constraints and a dire need for infrastructure development, as it presents a lifeline for economic progress. However, beneath the surface of economic opportunity, there loom socio-economic challenges that warrant careful consideration. These challenges have the potential to impact the relationships between Muslim-majority countries and the Western world, with a specific focus on the Middle Eastern countries. It is within this complex and dynamic context that this research article seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis. The article intends to shed light on two fundamental aspects: firstly, it aims to gauge the willingness of Muslim-majority countries to become integral parts of the CPEC project, evaluating the extent to which they embrace this economic endeavor. Secondly, the research delves into China's role in the region by examining how its economic support and infrastructural development initiatives influence Muslim-majority states. This examination is critical for understanding the opportunities and challenges that the CPEC project presents to the Muslim world and its relationships with the West, especially Middle Eastern nations.

The turnover intention is an inclination of the employee to leave a job. It has become a topic of interest for researchers in business. This study examines the impact of role conflict, role ambiguity, and interpersonal conflicts on turnover intention with the mediating role of emotional exhaustion and moderating role of emotional regulation. This study focuses on the banking sector of Karachi. The research has utilized SMART PLS .4 for data analysis. The study found that role conflict and interpersonal conflict significantly affect turnover intention, but role ambiguity insignificantly affects turnover intention. We found emotional exhaustion significantly mediates (i) role conflict and turnover intention, but emotional exhaustion insignificantly mediates (ii) role ambiguity and turnover intention and interpersonal conflict and turnover intention. Using emotional regulation as a moderator, we found emotional regulation significantly moderates (i) role ambiguity and turnover intention and (ii) interpersonal conflict and turnover intention, but emotional regulation insignificantly moderates (iii) role conflict and turnover intention. The implications of these conclusions extend beyond the banking sector, suggesting a broader relevance in understanding the emotional dynamics that underlie employee turnover across industries
