The Different Aspects of Diplomatic Mediation: The Extralinguistic Motives of Having an Interpreter in the Diplomatic Settings
Authors: Akgün Yaşar , Yetkin Karakoç Nihal
Published: July 2024

Diplomacy is a concept that permeates many aspects of the daily life. The fact that it has always been displayed and discussed in the media has generated much academic interest. Each expertise and profession involved in the implementation of diplomacy plays an essential role in the process of diplomacy. Within this context, the interpreting is of vital importance. The history of the practice of interpretation, as one of the most important fields of Translation Studies, dates back to ancient times. However, the interpretation studies have fallen behind relative to the wide range of studies conducted for the field of translation. The delay in examining interpretation on a scientific level has similarly delayed the discussion of its role in the diplomatic process; the limited studies conducted in this field have only addressed the linguistic dimensions of translation's role in diplomacy. Of all types of interpretations, diplomatic interpretation, having a unique role in the political and diplomatic settings, has been understudied, confidentiality being one of the reasons among - others. This paper, therefore, aims to demonstrate some of the extralinguistic aspects of political interpretation that might prompt the interlocutors to hire an interpreter, even when both of the parties share a common language and do not seem to need an interpreter at first glance. This issue appears to be significant both for translation and diplomacy studies. In this context, throughout the article, the non-linguistic roles of translators in diplomatic processes, such as representing the national language of the country, assuming responsibility for communication errors, advising diplomats, and saving time, are examined.

Authors: Tinoco Saulo Bandoli de Oliveira , Sias Selma Maria de Azevedo , Sant’anna Maria de Fátima Bazhuni Pombo
Published: July 2024

Introdução: O Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) é um importante agente de infecções respiratórias. Trata-se do principal patógeno causador de pneumonias atípicas. A forma respiratória é a principal manifestação clínica, mas formas extrapulmonares têm sido descritas. Casuística e métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional, transversal, do tipo série de casos, realizado no período de janeiro de 2016 a dezembro de 2021, em um hospital privado. Foram incluídas crianças e adolescentes internados por pneumonia, com sorologia IgM para M. pneumoniae. Resultados: Foram estudados 23 pacientes: 3 (13,0%) lactentes, 13 (56,6%) pré-escolares, 5 (21,7%) escolares e 2 (8,7%) adolescentes. Não houve diferença quanto ao sexo. Observou-se maior frequência de casos no inverno e primavera. Dez crianças permaneceram internadas por menos de 7 dias, 10 entre 7 e 14 dias, e 3 tiveram tempo de internação maior do que 14 dias, sendo a média do tempo de internação de 7,6 dias. Sete (30,4%) necessitaram internação em unidade de terapia intensiva. A sintomatologia mais frequente foi tosse (100%), febre (91%), roncos (91%), sibilos (80%), estertores (52%) e inapetência (69%). Infiltrado intersticial difuso (69,6%), infiltrado peri-hilar (65,2%), atelectasia e derrame pleural respectivamente (13%), foram as principais alterações radiológicas encontradas. A média de leucócitos totais foi 13.345 mm³, com 63%, segmentados 30% linfócitos, 12g% de hemoglobina, 33,4% de hematócrito e 4,8mg/L de Proteína C Reativa. Metade da amostra teve tratamento inicial com Beta-lactâmicos (52,2%), seguido de Cefalosporinas (26,1%); uma criança iniciou tratamento com Macrolídeo (8,7%). Conclusão: As alterações clínicas, radiológicas e laboratoriais (hemograma e PCR) das pneumonias por M. pneumoniae na amostra estudada foram inespecíficas, dificultando o diagnóstico diferencial com pneumonias comunitárias por outras bactérias ou vírus.  Diferente do que a literatura apresenta, a faixa etária predominante neste estudo foi pré-escolar. Enfatiza-se a necessidade do olhar direcionado aos dados clínicos como tosse, febre, roncos e sibilos associados à infiltrado difuso ou perihilar, incluindo no atendimento emergencial da criança com pneumonia, a sorologia específica para M.pneumoniae, na tentativa de otimizar o tratamento e reduzir o tempo de internação. A terapia com macrolídeos deve ser considerado em casos não responsivos e com sorologia positiva para M. pneumoniae.

Published: July 2024

El estudio aborda la siguiente interrogante: ¿De qué manera los terapeutas ocupacionales están favoreciendo la participación de las familias en los procesos de intervención infantil? Participaron 35 terapeutas ocupacionales chilenos. La recopilación de información se realizó durante el año 2023 a través de una encuesta en línea. Los resultados indican que el 100% de los encuestados considera que el trabajo con las familias durante el proceso de intervención es “muy importante - importante”, sin embargo, solo el 68% declara involucrarlas “siempre o casi siempre” durante su práctica actual. La mayoría de ellos (77%) utiliza un 75% del tiempo de las sesiones para trabajar con el niño/a y el resto para atender a los padres. Únicamente un 5.9% dedica su intervención de manera exclusiva a los niños/as. Las estrategias preferidas para trabajar con las familias son el “empoderamiento”, el “coaching de desempeño ocupacional” y la “observación de sesiones”. El 97% de los terapeutas ocupacionales reportó trabajar con las madres de los niños y niñas. Solo un 28% reportó trabajar con los padres. Finalmente, el 88.6% de los encuestados considera que los resultados de la terapia ocupacional tienden a ser notablemente mejores cuando se involucra a las familias.

Authors: Chennakkeshava K. , Hemanth Hemanth
Published: July 2024

Abstract—Thanks to developments in Internet of Things (IoT) technology, safety and security alerting in smart homes has become a fundamental component of contemporary living. Smart houses are outfitted with an array of networked gadgets, in- cluding cameras, sensors, locks, and alarms, which collaborate to keep an eye on and safeguard the property. Homeowners can receive real-time messages and alerts from these systems on possible security breaches, fire threats, gas leaks, and other safety concerns. Smart home security systems can distinguish between typical activity and questionable conduct by utilizing data analytics and machine learning. This reduces false alerts and improves overall efficiency.Homeowners may now remotely control and monitor their properties thanks to the integration of voice assistants and mobile applications, which further improves user experience. These systems can automatically notify emer- gency contacts or local authorities in the event of an emergency, guaranteeing a prompt response. Further improvements in safety and security are anticipated as smart home technology continues to evolve; future models may have even more sophisticated predictive analytics and seamless interaction with public safety infrastructures. But these developments also give rise to worries about cybersecurity and data privacy, which calls for strong security measures to safeguard user information and guarantee the dependability of these alerting systems.
Deep Fake Detection

Published: July 2024

Abstract—The following paper considers an in-depth study of face detection and classification using a pre-trained VGG16 model with a prime focus on separating real from fake facial images. Face detection is a very fundamental task in computer vision and of key importance in various security- and biometric identification-related applications, social media, and so on, in which the above-mentioned Dortania et al. findings will find their use. The idea is to use transfer learning by tuning an already trained VGG16 that was developed for large-scale image classification to do well in a specific task of face authenticity verification. For this purpose, we constructed a custom dataset with images labeled either ’real’ or ’fake’, sourced from different environments to make it diverse and hence robust. The dataset was then preprocessed by face detection using Haar cascades, resizing, normalization, and augmentation to increase the model’s capacity for generalization. This dataset was trained as well as tested on the modified VGG16 model, where only one fully connected layer at the end was changed to give an output in two classes—one for the real faces and another for the fake ones. Model performance was ascertained through training loss and accuracy in the training phase. For the 30 epochs of training, the model achieved very good training accuracy. Further performance fluctuation analysis at different epochs used detailed plots of the loss and accuracy. Testing validates further that the model is robust, having a high testing accuracy to ensure the model generalizes on unseen data. Our results show the effectiveness of transfer learning using VGG16 in face classification, where accuracy was high for the classification of real and fake faces. Thus, this study not only demonstrates the potential of pre-trained deep models in specialized applications but also shows the proper quality of the dataset and its preprocessing towards the attainment of optimal model performance. This trained model is, therefore, deployable in every real-world application where verification of faces is very important, bringing in a reliable tool for improving security and authenticity in digital relations.

Published: July 2024

The current study investigated challenges facing parental involvement and culturally relevant strategies for improving parental involvement in the development of mathematics skills among grade two pupils. A phenomenological qualitative design was employed. A semi-structured interview was used to gather data from 12 early-grade teachers and ten heads of schools. Focused group discussion (FGD) was used to collect data from 63 parents. Thematic analysis procedures guided the data analysis procedure, which was aided by pivotal analysis. The study findings revealed that teachers focused on parents’ negative attitude towards the subject while parents reported lack of time and economic hardship as factors affecting their participation in engaging in children’s mathematics learning. However, all participants agreed that parents’ mathematics knowledge is a factor that affects their involvement. Regardless of the participants’ category, the provision of interactive mathematics homework and communication through parents’ meetings (group and individuals) were regarded as the best strategies for involving parents in learners’ development of mathematics skills. The study concludes that the parents agree with the critical role of their involvement despite the challenges facing parental involvement. Therefore, the study recommends that awareness programs and the use of interactive mathematics homework activities are critical to improved parental involvement in their children’s learning.

La complejidad de las relaciones entre animales: aporte de la empatía y el género a la comprensión del abuso animal
Authors: Moll Mariana , Fernández Rocío , Morales María Isabel , Sorribas Patricia Mariel
Published: July 2024

Problema: tradicionalmente se ha excluido de la esfera de consideración moral tanto al ambiente como a otros animales, aun cuando una relación positiva con ellos reporta beneficios para la salud de unas y otras criaturas y promueve el desarrollo de empatía y la emisión de conductas prosociales (Ngai, Yu, Chau, Lee y Wong, 2021). De hecho, en las últimas décadas se han observado casos de zoonosis, uso inadecuado de recursos, deterioro del ambiente y un aumento de casos registrados de abuso animal. El abuso animal, fenómeno complejo y multideterminado, frecuentemente funciona como precursor o indicador de otras conductas calificadas como “antisociales”, violentas y no violentas. Respecto del rol que juega la empatía en la emisión o inhibición de conductas agresivas y de cuán generalizable es la empatía interespecie, existe evidencia contradictoria y se resaltan aquí tres fenómenos de interés: erosión empática, desensibilización progresiva a la violencia y fatiga por compasión. Objetivo: determinar si los niveles de empatía, la disposición a comportarse de manera abusiva contra otros animales y la conducta efectiva de abuso animal se relacionan con el contexto de formación preprofesional, el género autopercibido y la tenencia actual y/o previa de animales de compañía en estudiantes universitarios que cursan el tramo final de la Licenciatura en Psicología. Metodología: diseño ex post facto retrospectivo de grupo único (N = 241). Se aplicó un cuestionario autoadministrado que incluyó el Interpersonal Reactivity Index, la Animal Empathy Scale, la Animal Abuse Proclivity Scale y la cantidad y frecuencia de conductas efectivas de abuso animal. Contribución: se evidencia sobre el aporte del género autopercibido a la relación entre diversas medidas de empatía y el abuso hacia otros animales y se refuerza la tesis de la no generalizabilidad de la empatía interespecie.
¿Racismo o una modalidad de biologicismo? Un fenómeno saturado de relaciones
Authors: Zeballos Juan Manuel
Published: July 2024

La intención de este artículo es proponer un término más adecuado para la nominación de las prácticas racistas y brindar una perspectiva analítica netamente relacional mediante la determinación y sistematización de las articulaciones intervinientes. Se trata de un trabajo de discusión teórica construido a partir de tres problemas, a saber: ¿cómo denominar un fenómeno social (racismo) que parte de una noción (razas humanas) carente de sustento biológico?, ¿qué relaciones comprende? y ¿a qué se debe su permanencia? Son tres las hipótesis que los responden. En primer término, la contradicción enunciativa se resuelve introduciendo la expresión biologicismo. En segundo lugar, los relacionamientos que comprende son tres: el “técnico”, entre la dimensión física y las demás esferas humanas; el jerárquico, en función de las valoraciones diferenciales (mediante la dialéctica de las categorías norma-ideal/anomalía-degradante); y el instrumental, a partir de los intereses que propicia y encubre. Finalmente, la pervivencia se basa en tal instrumentalización por parte de las clases hegemónicas. Dos son los aportes. Por un lado, y desde una posición en alguna medida interdisciplinar, la justificación del uso de un concepto con mayor precisión. Y por el otro, el esclarecimiento de las relaciones acopladas intervinientes. Metodológicamente se procede examinando fuentes históricas y bibliografía sociológica y antropológica pertinente.
“Si no los comiéramos, no existirían”. Las implicaciones del problema de la no identidad para los animales (incluidos los humanos)
Authors: Colb Sherry F. , Dorf Michael C.
Published: July 2024

El problema de la no identidad genera el interrogante de si un acto que es necesario para que una persona llegue a existir puede a la vez dañarla. Por ejemplo, de acuerdo con la lógica de la no identidad, los descendientes de las víctimas de injusticias históricas como la esclavitud y el Holocausto no pueden quejarse de esas injusticias porque esos terribles eventos hicieron posible su propia existencia. Si una persona tiene una vida que vale la pena, entonces las injusticias pasadas pero necesarias para que llegase a existir no podrían haberla dañado. Este artículo ofrece soluciones novedosas a ese razonamiento contraintuitivo que produce el problema de la no identidad al reposicionarlo en un nuevo escenario: la cuestión de la ganadería. De acuerdo con la lógica de la no identidad, el matadero beneficia a los animales condenados a la muerte porque esa es su razón de existir. Este artículo responde al problema de la no identidad proponiendo principalmente una asimetría entre no crear un ser vivo y dañar un ser vivo, esto es, construyendo una versión moralizada del efecto de la dotación. La consideración del problema de la no identidad en el contexto animal revela una base común entre el razonamiento moral respecto de las obligaciones humanas intra e interespecies.

Published: July 2024

Economic development that only focuses on growth often has negative impacts, encouraging the emergence of the concept of sustainable development that balances economic, environmental, and social aspects. This concept, supported by the United Nations and various parties, is the basis for sustainable development goals until 2030, covering human, social economic, and environmental development. Sustainability, introduced in 1987, integrates environmental, social, and economic aspects or the triple bottom line in business standards and practices. The development of sustainable banking is still in its infancy, with some banks starting to adopt environmental and social policies. This research examines risk policies to support sustainable development in commercial banking through an analysis of 50 articles. The results show that economic and social efficiency, stability, and environmental contribution are important in assessing bank sustainability. Internal factors such as risk management and financial health, as well as external factors such as regulations and macroeconomic conditions are very influential.

Measures for Mitigating Adverse Impacts of Tourism in wetlands
Authors: P V Anurag , M V Smitha
Published: July 2024

Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems globally, providing crucial services such as water filtration, food resources, building materials, transportation routes, and coastal protection. Additionally, they support recreational and tourism activities, collectively known as ecosystem services. The migration of numerous bird species and the rich plant diversity within wetlands underscore the importance of effective biodiversity conservation initiatives. However, wetlands face significant threats from urbanization, pollution, resource overharvesting, climate change, and tourism. Tourism, in particular, leads to habitat destruction, pollution, and environmental degradation, compromising water quality and soil stability. Thus, assessing the impacts of tourism on wetlands is essential to develop strategies that enhance their resilience and protect these critical ecosystems. A practical approach to promoting sustainable tourism involves implementing visitor management strategies that regulate visitor behaviour to minimize site impacts. Zoning is an effective visitor management tool that aims to balance the negative impacts of tourism while promoting ecotourism and wetland restoration. While existing literature suggests various zoning factors, each wetland's unique biological characteristics require tailored approaches. This research focuses on importance of zoning and identifying specific zoning parameters to manage tourism impacts in Kerala's wetlands, aiming to support sustainable tourism and conservation efforts.

Uma cerâmica porosa foi fabricada a partir de nanopartículas de ferrita de cobalto utilizando a técnica de moldagem por congelamento. Como aditivo ligante-dispersante foi utilizado o PEG-8000 em uma concentração de 4% em massa. Imagens de MEV do material após a sinterização confirmaram a formação de uma estrutura porosa lamelar. Usando o método de Arquimedes, foram obtidos valores de 60,30% para a porosidade aparente e de 1,78 g/cm3 para a massa específica aparente, o que resultou em uma massa específica relativa de 34,60%. A redução de volume foi de 67,65%. Apesar da alta redução de volume, o processo de moldagem por congelamento levou a uma alta porosidade do material.

Este estudo teve como objetivo selecionar iniciadores para aplicação em análises de metabarcoding (eDNA), visando o monitoramento da comunidade fitoplanctônica em um Complexo Estuarino na Costa Amazônica. Inicialmente, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico de trabalhos publicados entre 2005 e 2023 nas principais bases de dados (SciELO, Web of Science, ScienceDirect e Google Scholar) sobre as espécies fitoplanctônicas da região. Após isso, foi realizada a busca das sequências de referência para as espécies registradas, com foco nos genes ribossomais 16S, 18S, 23S e no gene mitocondrial Citocromo Oxidase Subunidade I (COI), contidas nos bancos genômicos (GenBank, SILVA e BOLD Systems). Para alinhar as sequências, foi usado o software BioEdit e, para avaliar a qualidade dos primers desenvolvidos, foi utilizada a ferramenta online OligoAnalyzer 3.1. Os resultados mostraram que o filo Bacillariophyta foi o mais representativo em número de espécies e sequências disponíveis. Dos marcadores escolhidos, o gene 18S ribossomal obteve a maior riqueza de sequências depositadas nos bancos de dados, especialmente no GenBank. Cinco conjuntos de primers (DFS-F1, DFS-F2, DFS-F3, DFS-F4 e DFS-F5) foram desenhados in silico e validados virtualmente, apresentando entre 19 e 22 pares de bases (pb). As temperaturas de fusão (Tmelting) variaram entre 55,1ºC e 58ºC, e a concentração de GC% variou de 40,91% a 57,89%. Portanto, esses resultados colaboram com a literatura sobre protocolos de eDNA, auxiliando na escolha do marcador molecular e dos primers mais adequados para a comunidade fitoplanctônica, aumentando a eficiência e rapidez do trabalho.

Este estudo investiga a relevância dos inventários de carbono como ferramenta para mitigar as emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEE) no Polo Industrial de Manaus (PIM). Através de uma revisão bibliográfica abrangente, o artigo conceitua os GEE, o efeito estufa, o mercado de carbono e os inventários de carbono, além de analisar as legislações ambientais brasileiras relacionadas ao tema. A pesquisa destaca o mercado de carbono como um mecanismo promissor para alcançar as metas de redução de emissões, utilizando sistemas como "Cap and Trade" e créditos de carbono. Os inventários de carbono, por sua vez, assumem papel fundamental na contabilidade ambiental e nas estratégias de compensação de emissões, viabilizando o mapeamento, quantificação e registro das fontes de GEE. No contexto específico do PIM, com ênfase no setor eletroeletrônico, a certificação ISO 9000 e as normas ISO 14001 e ISO 14064 se configuram como ferramentas essenciais para a gestão ambiental e a quantificação das emissões de GEE. Portanto, concluiu-se que os inventários de carbono, em conjunto com políticas públicas eficazes, investimento em energias renováveis e adoção de práticas sustentáveis, são elementos cruciais para que o PIM atinja a meta de neutralidade climática até 2050 firmada pelo Brasil em acordos internacionais, possibilitando a mitigação dos efeitos das mudanças climáticas.

Para suprir a demanda de feijão pela população brasileira, a safra de inverno tem grande importância, onde uma adubação equilibrada aliada a irrigação tem propiciado elevadas produtividades. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a cultura do feijão irrigado submetido a doses de nitrogênio em cobertura, com e sem inoculação de sementes. O experimento foi conduzido na Universidade Estadual de Mato Grosso do Sul, Unidade Universitária de Aquidauana. A cultura, irrigada por pivô central, foi implantada no inverno, cujo manejo de irrigação foi pelo método de tensiometria. O experimento foi conduzido em blocos casualizados, com parcelas subdivididas e 4 repetições, sendo que as parcelas foram os tratamentos com e sem inoculação de sementes com estirpe Rhizobium tropici e, nas subparcelas, às doses de nitrogênio (N) (0, 50, 100, 150 e 200 kg ha-1 de N em cobertura). Foram avaliados o número de vagens por planta, número de grãos por vagem, massa média de 100 grãos, produtividade de grãos e a eficiência do uso da água. A adubação nitrogenada em cobertura promove incremento na produtividade de grãos e eficiência de uso da água, cujos melhores resultados são obtidos na ausência de inoculação de sementes, com 132 e 150 kg ha-1 de nitrogênio, respectivamente. O cultivo do feijão de inverno, na região de Aquidauana, irrigado por pivô central, tem potencial para alcançar altas produtividades.
