Laplace Method for Calculate the Determinant of Cubic-Matrix of Order 2 and Order 3
Authors: ZAKA Orgest , SALIHU Armend
Published: December 2024

In this paper, as a continuation of our work on the determinants of cubic matrices of order 2 and order 3, we have investigated the possibilities of developing the concept of determinants of cubic matrices with three indexes, as well as the possibility of calculating them using the Laplace expansion method. We have observed that the notion of permutation expansion, which is used for square determinants, and the concept of the Laplace expansion method, which is used for square and non-square (rectangular) determinants, may be applied to this novel concept of 3D determinants. In this research, we demonstrated that the Laplace expansion approach is also applicable to cubic matrices of the second and third orders. These results are presented simply and with extensive proof. The findings are also supported by illustrated cases. In addition, we provided an algorithmic explanation for the Laplace expansion approach applied to cubic matrices.

Authors: GUEYE Ibrahima , KEBE Abdoulaye , DIA Oumar , SAKHO Abdoulahi
Published: December 2024

This article addresses the constraints in exploiting the "MBAWAANDE" lands, particularly the challenges posed by their irrigation system. Currently, the system is powered by a diesel motor pump and a photovoltaic solar system located far apart, leading to inefficiencies and operational difficulties. To mitigate these issues, we propose replacing the motor pump with a generator mounted in parallel with the photovoltaic solar system. This new hybrid configuration, automated by an algorithm, aims to reduce the operational constraints related to distance and minimize diesel consumption, while ensuring continuous and reliable irrigation. The hybrid system integrates the strengths of both power sources, allowing for more flexible and sustainable water pumping. The diesel generator provides backup power during periods of low solar irradiance, ensuring that irrigation needs are met without interruption. Meanwhile, the photovoltaic system takes advantage of renewable energy, reducing dependency on fossil fuels and lowering operational costs. To validate the efficiency and effectiveness of this new configuration, we conducted a simulation using Matlab/Simulink. The results demonstrated that the hybrid system significantly enhances water pumping efficiency with minimal human intervention, ensuring a steady water supply for irrigation. These findings highlight the potential for hybrid systems to improve agricultural practices, especially in remote and resource-constrained areas.

Authors: HEBEBCI Mustafa Tevfik
Published: December 2024

This study examines students' social media usage patterns and their Technology Addiction Scale (TAS) scores. The research analyzes the relationships between the number of active social media accounts, daily time spent on social media, the use of fake accounts, and technology addiction. The data were evaluated using an independent groups t-test. The findings indicate that students who spend more time on social media have significantly higher technology addiction scores than those who spend less time. Additionally, students who use fake accounts were found to have significantly higher technology addiction scores than those who do not. These findings highlight the significant impact of social media usage duration and the use of fake accounts on technology addiction. Consistent with previous studies, this research supports the notion that increased time spent on social media correlates with higher levels of technology addiction. Furthermore, the findings regarding the influence of fake account usage on technology addiction contribute to the limited body of literature on this topic. The results suggest that young people should manage their social media usage more consciously and avoid using fake accounts to mitigate the risk of technology addiction.

Authors: KAYKOV Dimitar , KOPREV Ivaylo , TERZIYSKI Danail
Published: December 2024

Blast-induced rock movement is a highly variable phenomenon which depends on numerous factors. Rock type and its deriving physical and mechanical properties are among such factors, which are crucial to be available prior to planning the locations where each monitor is placed. Hence, Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) was used to acquire additional rock mass data for several benches of an open-pit mining operation. ERT is considered a valuable tool in mine planning. By providing information about the subsurface electrical resistivity distribution, ERT helps in determination of geological structures, composition of the ground and helps assessing potential hazards. A total of 21 profiles were measured, which allowed for relevant data to be obtained regarding each monitor’s location. Results from the study showed that blast movement measurements from different rock-type zones do not differ in a statistically significant manner. However, substantial differences were uncovered regarding the mode of movement vectors by using Kernel density estimation (KDE). These results proved that ERT is a fast and reliable support method for establishing different rock mass zones and for location planning of blast movement monitors and blast design optimization prior to drilling.

Published: December 2024

In recent years, the world technics and technologies development in mineral beneficiation has shown significant achievements in the field of mineral separation basic phenomena and regularities. This allows for creation of highly efficient processes and technologies for processing of primary ore with a complex composition, thus providing the metallurgical industry with necessary high-quality concentrates. As well known, the concentrates produced by beneficiation plants are subject to certain requirements for content of valuable components and harmful impurities. In order concentrates to be a commodity product, they must contain valuable components more than minimum permissible content, and harmful impurities must be a lower content than the maximum permissible. The presentation that is summarized in this article focuses on the results of laboratory experimental studies conducted to characterize copper, pyrite and molybdenum concentrates obtained from sulphide copper ores processing. This study also explored copper and pyrite concentrates from sulphide-oxide copper ores and oxide ores productive solutions. Data from concentrates chemical and particle size analysis are presented. Moreover, а brief description of technological studies conducted, their aims, concentrates and productive solutions obtained are presented. All copper concentrates contain gold and silver, as accompanying valuable components. Harmful impurities other than carbon in the molybdenum concentrate have not been detected. We summarize that all copper products are suitable for copper concentrates market.

Authors: LOPES Ana Paula , SOUSA Ana Cristina
Published: December 2024

Queuing Theory is an important branch of Applied Mathematics which involves the mathematical modelling and analysis of systems where entities, such as customers in a line, arrive at a service facility, wait for service, and then depart after being served. Applied Mathematics provides the tools needed to model and analyze queuing systems. In 2021, the 74th World Health Assembly approved the historic resolution for Oral Health, which, recognizes the need to develop a project and proceed with the launch of a "Global Strategy for Oral Health". In this sense, and for the necessary adaptations to occur in the Portuguese National Health System (PNHS), an in-depth study is necessary specially at the level of human resources, essential for the program to be effectively implemented and the objectives proposals duly achieved. Minimizing patient waiting times is a crucial consideration in healthcare sector management. This work aims to improve and build a discrete event simulation model for modeling patient flow queuing system in an NHS dentist's office, with the purpose of exploring options for designing an effective queuing system. The model of a public dental office is simulated with the help of Arena Software, based on data collected by the Portuguese Dental Association to optimize dental service management. Therefore, through this simulation, the efficiency of this public dental administration can be increased, thus being able to offer oral health care to the entire Portuguese population. The findings of the simulation indicated that little adjustments to the current system could have a significant impact on the use of resources.

Authors: MAAFA Amar , MELLAH Hacen , YAHIOU Abdelghani , SAHRAOUI Hamza
Published: December 2024

This research gives a comparative analysis of Proportional-Integral (PI) and Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) controllers for control systems of wind energy conversion systems (WECS). The PI controller is a conventional control technique that is extensively employed due to its simplicity and efficacy in regulating system behaviour through the adjustment of proportional and integral gains. FLC, on the other hand, utilises language rules and fuzzy logic reasoning to imitate human decision-making processes, providing a flexible and adaptable control strategy. The selection between PI and fuzzy controllers is dependent on the particular demands and limitations of the control application. The comparison study evaluates the performance of PI and Fuzzy controllers in various control scenarios, specifically in the scenario of speed control of cascaded doubly fed induction generator (CDFIG). Wind energy conversion systems consist of CDFIG connected to the grid via a matrix converter or rectifier and inverter. This study will present numerical simulation results conducted using the MATLAB/Simulink program to demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of the proposed control technique
Intelligent Traffic Lights Control System: Riyadh City
Authors: ALFAIFI Amjaad , TCHIER Fairouz
Published: December 2024

Traffic congestion is one of the main problems facing Riyadh city's growth, which results in significant environmental pollution and makes transportation difficult. These factors not only generate material losses but also make daily living difficult for people. The principal reasons of traffic congestion in Riyadh include, but are not limited to, the rapid growth of the population. By 2030, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia aims to have a population of 50-60 million, which will make traffic congestion worse if preventive measures are not taken. The development of an intelligent traffic lights control system is one strategy to address traffic issues. The purpose of traffic lights is to efficiently control vehicle traffic at intersections. These traffic signals typically operate in a preset order based on a fixed cycle period. Due to this design, vehicles on one side of the road must wait even while there are no automobiles on the other, making them intrinsically unable to effectively regulate traffic flow during atypical conditions. As a result, it becomes necessary to simulate traffic control algorithms in order to reduce the amount of stops, vehicle delays, etc. There is a chance to create a system that will meet these needs with fuzzy logic. We use fuzzy logic toolbox in MATLAB to design the intelligent traffic lights control system for an isolated traffic junction.

Published: December 2024

Currently, several approaches focused on the optimization of materials design and solutions to respond to the ecological and economic concerns through the development of novel materials and structures. In this connection, functionally graded materials (FGM) known as a new generation of composites with optimized mechanical properties which vary according to a continuous function-law to avoid interfacial debonding and stresses concentration were largely investigated. Accordingly, the main purpose of this work is to advocate a new way to simulate the mechanical behavior of simply supported FGM beams submitted to non-uniform static bending through a finite element modeling (FEM). The power-law function which governs the stiffness distribution of the used metal and ceramic materials are explicitly presented. In addition, a mesh sensitivity was established to assess the optimal mesh size of the modeled FGM based-beams. The simulation outcomes presented in the form stress and strain cartographies were correlated with a good agreement to the analytical results from the literature in term of qualitative and quantitative validations.

Published: December 2024

Today, the vast majority of plastic products are produced from petroleum-based chemicals. This has led to a great dependence on non-renewable energy sources in the production of many commonly used products. As the world population increases, the demand for such products and therefore oil also increases. However, fossil fuel resources are limited and will inevitably be depleted over time. Lignocellulosic biomasses, which are the most abundant natural carbon sources on earth, are the best alternative to fossil fuel sources. Lignocellulosic biomass is important for reducing and utilizing agroforestry residues for potential use in the production of biochemicals, biofuels, biomaterials, and other value-added products. “Green” biomass fractionation methodologies are being developed to reduce environmental impact. In our study, NaOH-water and KOH-water mixtures of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% and 15% were used to extract lignin from waste lavender fibers. Characterization analyses of the isolated lignin were performed using thermal and spectroscopic techniques. Tdehyde , Tg and Tm values were measured from the DSC curves of the extracts. Decomposition temperature values of 5%, 10% and 25% of the TGA curves were calculated. The presence of functional groups in lignin was emphasized from the FTIR spectra. Absorbance values were also measured by UV-VIS spectroscopy. Lignin obtained from lavender waste is a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative.

Authors: MOUALEK Idir , BENARAB Karima , HOUALI Karim
Published: December 2024

Malva sylvestris L., commonly known as common mallow, is an herbaceous plant widely used in traditional Algerian medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The richness of its leaves and flowers in phenolic compounds is the source of these therapeutic virtues. In Algeria, various remedies based on this species are commonly used in the treatment of inflammation, joint pain, and digestive disorders. Serum albumin is the most abundant protein in blood plasma and plays a key role in regulating oncotic pressure. Its versatile nature also allows it to transport numerous molecules such as fatty acids, hormones, drugs, and metal ions, thus contributing to the proper functioning of essential physiological processes. This study aims to evaluate certain biological activities resulting from the association between serum albumin and the aqueous extract of Malva sylvestris L. leaves. The results obtained highlight a notable antioxidant activity of this association, with respective IC50 values of 3.825 ± 0.422 μg/ml, 296.13 ± 69.33 μg/ml, and 217.9 ± 31.5 μg/ml for the ability to scavenge DPPH, OH, and H2O2 radicals. The mixture exhibits a total antioxidant capacity with an IC50 of 310.5 ± 11.33 μg/ml and a ferric ion reducing power with an IC50 of 42.93 ± 46.38 μg/ml. The ferrous ion chelating ability is evaluated with an IC50 of 137.96 ± 30.07 μg/ml. Regarding the antiinflammatory activity, no stabilizing effect on erythrocyte membranes against osmotic stress, HOCl-induced oxidative stress, and heat was observed with this association. These results clearly demonstrate that the combination of serum albumin and the aqueous extract of Malva sylvestris leaves significantly potentiates the antioxidant properties of the plant. This combination represents a promising source of bioactive molecules and constitutes an interesting therapeutic alternative for the treatment of pathologies related to oxidative stress.

An alternative technique for disposing and managing municipal sewage sludge is its application to soils associated with crop production. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the suitability of the existing sludge application routes in terms of the fertility of the soil and the accumulation of heavy metals. A chemical analysis was carried out on four agricultural soils located in the north-central region of Algeria, which had been subjected to an irregular application of sewage sludge for more than ten years. Results showed high levels of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the sludge samples. The amended soils are characterised by an increased content of organic matter and an improved availability of nutrients, including nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. In addition, the pH of the soil solution is close to neutral, there is an increase in the cation exchange capacity and there is no change in the electrical conductivity. The total concentrations of cadmium, copper, nickel and zinc were found to be consistently low and below the acceptable limit values for soil. Copper accumulation in P3 soil was slightly above standard (122.4 mg.kg-1). However, amended soils showed remarkable Cu (+167%) and Ni (+84%) accumulation. Whereas the total concentration of Cd is slightly lower than in the control soil, its speciation indicates a very high bioavailability. The results show that sewage sludge application has a positive effect on the availability of essential elements and the improvement of soil properties. However, inappropriate use and/or inaccurate application rates can lead to soil contamination with potentially toxic heavy metals.

Published: December 2024

The intention of this study is to identify and assess groups based on their sleep quality and duration, physical activity levels, and stress levels. Next, we will investigate the relationship between sleep habits and stress levels. There were 374 respondents, with a total of 13 variables. The researchers utilized Ward's algorithm to identify groups and Euclidean distance to compare them. This study technique employs statistical computer tools, specifically R. This study's processes begin with data processing, which is followed by data standardization and clustering. There are four categories, namely (1) a group with an average sleep duration of 6 hours and a sleep quality scale worth 6 out of 10, but conducting physical activity less than 30 minutes per day, the stress level is high. (2) in a group with an average sleep duration of 6 hours and a sleep quality scale worth 6 out of 10, but doing physical activity for two hours each day, the stress level is very high. (3) in the group with an average sleep duration of 7 hours, a sleep quality scale of 8 out of 10, and 65 minutes of physical activity each day, the stress level is medium, (4) the group with an average sleep duration of 8 hours and a sleep quality rating of 9 out of 10 maintains a low stress level despite one hour of physical exercise. A dendrogram plot is used in data visualization to show how closely connected the data sets are. This study suggests that a person's sleep habits and daily physical activity have a major impact on their stress level, providing readers and the community with knowledge into how to improve overall health.
The Impact of Climate Change on the Morphology of Marine Topography Using GNSS
Authors: LYCOURGHIOTIS Sotiris , CRAWFORD Elizabeth Paraskevi
Published: December 2024

In recent decades, very important scientific studies have focused on the effect of climate change on the average Sea Level Rise (SLR). Recent data has shown that 44% of the increase is due to the melting of glaciers and 42% to the thermal expansion of water due to the increase in average temperature. Research has focused mainly on the rate of Sea Level Rise from radar altimetry data (showing an average rise of 2.3 – 3.1 mm/year since 1970), or from coastal tide gauge data. In particular, although the coastal observations in closed seas agree with the data showing there is a trend towards an increase in sea levels, which is a result of climate change, they show significantly different rates of change. The question therefore arises: does climate change also affect the morphology of the Mean Sea Level (MSL) topography? In this paper, the research focuses for the first time not only on the change in MSL but also on the change in the morphology of the MSL topography. Research expeditions were carried out in the Gulf of Patras in 2011 and 2023. The method used is the new GNSS-on-boat method that, for the first time, makes it possible to examine the morphology of the MSL with an accuracy of up to 1 cm. The results show that in the area which was studied there was a significant change in mean sea level of the order of 2.78 cm in 12 years, which corresponds with the estimates of other researchers. However, what we observe for the first time is an obvious change in the shape of the sea surface. The significant changes in both the maxima and the slopes of the geoid exceed 8%.

A região leste de Santa Catarina tem sofrido diversos eventos extremos, como ciclones extratropicais, tempestades e chuvas severas. Esses eventos têm gerado impactos significativos, incluindo na Ilha de Santa Catarina, onde se encontra a Lagoa da Conceição. Esta lagoa possui grande importância para a população local. O monitoramento recente, nesta região, tornou-se mais eficaz com a instalação de uma estação meteorológica em um píer da lagoa. Neste estudo, avaliou-se as séries de dados coletados de velocidade e direção do vento, e do nível da água da lagoa. A análise da série temporal mostrou que ocorreram vários eventos extremos, incluindo um caso específico da passagem de um ciclone extratropical. Para este evento, os resultados indicaram que a ocorrência de fortes rajadas de vento foi responsável por variações significativas no nível da superfície da lagoa. Por exemplo, no dia 13/07/2023, rajadas de vento de cerca de 50 km/h provocaram uma elevação acentuada de 14 centímetros no nível da água da lagoa. Análise espectral da variação do nível da lagoa mostraram também impactos da maré astronômica com oscilações de 28 e 14 dias e as semidiurnas de 12 horas. Além destas oscilações foram detectadas também o efeito de eventos meteorológicos com oscilações de 7 e 10 dias. A análise de alta frequência identificou o efeito das seiches com oscilação natural da lagoa da ordem de 1,1 horas. Este monitoramento permite identificar importantes efeitos na lagoa e deverá ser de uso para futuros projetos e aos tomadores de decisão.

Authors: Makinde Olayinka , Okoye Maryknoll
Published: December 2024

This study attempts to investigate how information literacy skills and attitudes towards e-resources use predict the use of e-resources by health sciences postgraduates in Nigeria. A survey research design using the quantitative approach was employed in the study. Further, a two-stage sampling technique [purposive and non-proportional quota] was used to select a sample of 304 health sciences postgraduates. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Descriptive and inferential statistics (standard and hierarchical multiple regression) were used to analyse the study data. The hierarchical multiple regression model was used to ascertain the significance of the predictors of the use of e-resources. The major finding was that the best fitting model for predicting the use of e-resources would be the linear combination of the constant, information literacy skills and attitudes towards e-resources use. The study suggests enhanced and sustained positive attitudes and continuous information literacy skills development programmes in higher institutions to further encourage the use of e-resources by health sciences postgraduates.
„Oh, he reeks terribly! – that is all that remains of this man among the people”.Some Refl ections on the Experience of War and Tolstoy’s Concept of Patriotism
Authors: Radziwon Marek
Published: December 2024

The article examines Leo Tolstoy’s wartime experiences, particularly his active participationin the defense of Sevastopol and his initially fervent attitude toward warfare. Tolstoy’s engagementin the Crimean War marked the beginning of his literary career, resulting in the publicationof The Sevastopol Sketches. This study explores the transformation of Tolstoy’s perspectives on warand patriotism. In his later years, especially in essays composed towards the close of the 19th century,Tolstoy adopted a markedly radical position: he categorically rejected the concept of patriotism,viewing all manifestations of it as profoundly detrimental.
From Solitude to Omnipotence over Matter. An Energizing Narrativeof the Sinowcy
Authors: Frąckiewicz Iga
Published: December 2024

The publicists of „Sztuka i Naród” in their declaration of war against war confronted the occupiedreality not only through direct action. They verbalised their struggle with extraordinary intensityin texts which indicated that speech itself was understood as a rising, pulsating stream that wasdriven by the internal energy of the speaking subject. The examination of nationalist journalismof SiN and the intimate notes of Andrzej Trzebiński allow for a reconstruction of a phantasmaticwork of imagination aimed at metaphorical strengthening of the spirit and a proud self-defi nitionin a world engulfed by war. In this context, the articles published in the years 1942–1944 canbe interpreted as a linguistic stream of strong, „masculine” expression, which became a weaponin the irredentism aimed at an attitude of resignation and weakness. The energizing narrativeof SiN leads from a solitary stance to the complete subordination of the material world and itsarrangement according to the ideological-political guidelines of the Confederation of the Nation.This article constitutes a fragment of the doctoral dissertation entitled Idea, słowo, metafora.

Published: December 2024

The article is an attempt to read the work of Louis-Ferdinand Céline through the prism of thecategory of kynism, in the approach that Peter Sloterdijk proposed in one of his early books.As I argue, it is precisely kynism, in its intertwining with cynicism, that may not only constitute the keyto understanding the fundamental problems of Céline‘s prose and the author’s artistic choices, butalso has the potential to shed light on his entanglement in the Vichy regime. In addition to Céline‘swritings and Sloterdijk’s works, the article cites, among others, the analyses of Hannah Arendtand Paul Virilio, as well as numerous texts by a large group of commentators on the achievementsof the enfant-terrible of French literature.

The aim of this article is to examine the transformations in Ukrainian poetry within the contextof the protracted war with Russia, with a particular focus on the period since 2014. The text considersliterary activities within the framework of decolonization and illustrates how contemporarywar poets continue the literary tradition shaped by prior historical experiences. The article presentsliterary phenomena and specifi c poetic strategies that have emerged in response to current events.In Ukrainian war poetry, there is a continuation of themes related to the Russo-Ukrainian history,which is refl ected in recent literary works (Lyubov Yakymchuk). Notable poets such as Serhiy Zhadan,Borys Humeniuk, and Pavlo Vyshchebaba, who actively participate in the war, document thewar and its impact on society through their poetry, utilizing the literary tradition in modern contexts.Yaryna Chornohuz, a poet and soldier, addresses issues of loss and longing for home in her meditativeworks, portraying the war as a deeply personal and spiritual experience. Many Ukrainianauthors dehumanize Russian adversaries by using monstrous metaphors to depict their brutality.A recurring issue in war poetry is the challenge of fi nding an appropriate language to describe wartimerealities, leading to the exploration of new forms of literary expression. Poets strive to preciselyconvey traumatic events, highlighting „the power of speech that is stronger than the fear of silence”.
Affective-bipolar Art. Ukrainian Artists About the War and Its Effects.

Published: December 2024

Russian aggression against Ukraine turns out to be one of the best visually documented confl ictsin human history. Despite this, it is diffi cult to say whether the enormous number of images of atrocitiesand destruction circulating in the media helps us understand this war. To what extent is thedecontextualization of these images dangerous? Who controls their use and abuse? Are we dealingwith a crisis of representation, or rather of ethics? Young Ukrainian visual artists do not avoid suchdiffi cult questions, and they very often adopt a critical or engaged perspective towards the offi cialnarratives generated by the war. However, the spectrum of artistic tactics in this area is very wide,so it is worth considering how these artistic perspectives influence our thinking about contemporaryconflicts.

As organizações do terceiro são imprescindíveis para a manutenção da dinâmica social, política e religiosa do Brasil. Essas entidades movimentam vastos recursos e contribuem para a garantia de diversos direitos fundamentais, ao mesmo tempo em que se encontram imersas num vasto campo de benefícios fiscais e tributários essenciais para a manutenção de suas atividades. O objetivo deste estudo é, portanto, pesquisar sobre os amparos legais para a concessão de benefícios tributários a entidades do terceiro setor no Brasil. Espera-se que esse estudo sirva de instrumento de suporte à compreensão dos aspectos determinantes para enquadramento e manutenção desses benefícios. Metodologicamente, considera-se o estudo como exploratório, bibliográfico e qualitativo. Com a pesquisa concluiu-se que é imprescindível que a entidade analise a regra matriz de incidência de cada tributo, os requisitos legais e as jurisprudências específicas para a concessão e manutenção dos benefícios. Em muitos casos, a natureza jurídica e a contraprestação financeira pelos serviços prestados e produtos comercializados podem ser configurados como fatos geradores de alguns impostos e contribuições. Nesse quesito, o conhecimento do direito tributário e a assessoria especializada de advogados e contadores são essenciais.

El propósito del estudio conlleva analizar los derechos sustantivos y procesales que corresponden tanto a hombres como a mujeres deportistas, en igualdad de circunstancias laborales, para lograr un estadio de bienestar en términos de asegurar la igualdad de género. Para ello, el autor aporta elementos que permiten responder a la pregunta del porque se da una brecha salarial por cuestión de género en el deporte mexicano y cuáles son las implicaciones en el derecho procesal laboral. Asimismo, el autor justifica su estudio basándose en el enfoque de investigación cualitativo, ya que analiza primordialmente documentos de otros autores, así como fuentes bibliográficas jurídicas relacionadas con el derecho a la actividad física. En cuanto a los resultados, el autor describe en que consiste la actividad física, el derecho al deporte y el derecho del deporte, desarrollando los aspectos más relevantes del derecho del trabajo, sustantivo y procesal, referidos a la regulación de dicha actividad en México. Al tenor, los principales hallazgos radican en repensar el contenido esencial de los derechos fundamentales, es decir, el sustrato de los derechos humanos en favor de hombres y mujeres deportistas. El autor concluye su investigación partiendo del reconocimiento colectivo que se pueda hacer respecto el problema de la brecha salarial, así como la armonización de leyes secundarias, profundizando en las resoluciones judiciales con perspectiva de género y, finalmente, incluyendo la posibilidad de promover una reforma en el marco constitucional mexicano que vele por los derechos igualitarios respecto hombres y mujeres deportistas.
