Brand trust is very important because it can contribute to loyalty in service use and consistent loyalty. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Brand l    ove, Self-exspressive, Brand trust, Brand commitment on Revisit intention in health services. This study is a quantitative study using purposive sampling method involving 130 outpatients who live in particular Tangerang and outside Tangerang, with visits about 2-3 times in the last year, and aged 18 years and over. Data analysis used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). This research produces findings including self-expressive affects Brand love, Brand love affects Brand trust, and Brand commitment, Brand trust has no effect on Brand commitment, Brand trust affects revsit intention. There are several limitations to this study including only using a sample from one hospital, so the results may not be generalizable to other hospitals in Indonesia or other countries, an online questionnaire distribution system and the need to add other variables to expand the findings so that it is hoped that future researchers can fill these gaps.

Published: July 2024

Hotels are an important part of tourism and a place for anyone to rest. The aim of this research was to determine the influence of facilities, brand image, product quality, promotions and service quality on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. This type of research is quantitative with a purposive sampling technique distributed through questionnaires to 145 employee respondents to visitors to 4 Star Hotels who live in Tangerang and Bogor. Primary data analysis was carried out using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The results of this research show that the 6 (six) proposed hypotheses are accepted, and the promotion variable has the greatest direct influence on customer satisfaction. Based on these findings, it can be seen that the role of facilities, brand image, product quality, promotion and service quality influence customer satisfaction and the level of satisfaction influences customer loyalty in 4 star hotels. Mediationally, it can be seen that the results show negative results for the service quality and service quality variables. product quality on customer loyalty through hotel customer satisfaction.

How Management Situations Change Dispositives : Public Management in the case of Animal Epidemics
Authors: Charrier François , Barbier Marc , Raulet-Croset Nathalie
Published: July 2024

Against a backdrop of change in the French public health governance system, this article examines the dynamics of public-sector dispositives in managing livestock epidemics, situations that are typically fraught with doubt and often lead to crises of governance (‘mad cow’ disease, ‘bird flu’, foot-and-mouth, etc.). In such complex, interorganizational situations, marked by uncertainty and tight management time frames, fresh organizational and managerial activity is constantly required, making it a challenging task to characterize and understand the dynamics of the management dispositives that are activated along the way.
In order to produce a detailed and dynamic mapping of dispositives, we draw on the theoretical framework of ‘dispositional analysis’, developed by recent rereadings of Michel Foucault’s concept of the dispositive. To this, we bring the micro and situated perspective of the ‘day-to-day administering of lives’, introducing Jacques Girin’s concept of the ‘management situation’. We thus hypothesize that management situations are sites of intensive dispositive recombination and offer a useful interpretive frame for dispositive dynamics. Our methodology is based on a longitudinal and comparative analysis of three animal health disease management situations in a particular region (a health crisis, the reemergence of a disease, and an endemic disease situation).
Our analysis reveals an architecture of health dispositives whose relationships change as the management situation evolves. Three modes of recombination are identified, produced through the mechanisms of problematization (reformulating the problem) and stakeholder participation. This article makes visible the complex links between the evolution of the situations and the dynamics of the dispositives and provides food for thought in building a more robust governance of public animal health problems, combining situational and planning approaches.
Liberate the Article! Proposals for Simplified Scientific Writing Conventions
Authors: Laroche Hervé
Published: July 2024

A huge amount of advice and guidance has been provided on how to craft articles for top-tier journals. Simultaneously, research publications themselves have been criticized as formulaic or even nonsensical by some scholars. Despite this heated debate, the structural aspects of scientific texts have received little attention. The typical structure that articles are expected to follow and the typical story they are supposed to recount are presented as mere conventions that bear no consequences. In this essay, I discuss these taken-for-granted assumptions and analyze the significant costs and burdens generated by these conventions. I then propose to simplify writing conventions by focusing on the basic ingredients of research rather than the imposition of a rigid structure and a standard story. I argue that more freedom should be given to authors in the way they organize their papers. Such a reform would be easy to implement and would have mostly positive implications for all stakeholders.
Legal consequences of misuse of land plots
Authors: Shulga Mykhailo
Published: July 2024

Problem setting. One of the most common violations of land legislation is the use of land for purposes other than its intended purpose. The commission of such offenses under the current legislation of Ukraine entails a number of negative legal consequences for the holders of land rights: land owners and land users. The study and analysis of law enforcement practice shows that there are a number of problems in this area that need to be addressed. In particular, we are talking about distinguishing between the misuse of land and non-compliance with the requirements for the use of land for its intended purpose and non-use of land, etc. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The issue of studying the negative consequences of “misuse of land” has not been the subject of a comprehensive study, but some aspects of this problem have been addressed by the following scholars: Kulinich P. F., Kovalenko T. O., Nosik V. V., Miroshnychenko A. M., Pravdiuk M. V. and others. Purpose of the research is based on the analysis of the features of the category “designated purpose of land”, to investigate the negative consequences of the offense of “misuse of land” and to make proposals for improving the existing legal provisions. Article’s main body. The systemic update of the land legislation of Ukraine in the course of the land reform implementation has affected, among other things, such a category as the designated purpose of land. This category as a way for the state to regulate the nature of land use in the context of the introduction of market mechanisms into land legislation is becoming significantly more relevant. On the one hand, it establishes the limits of permitted use of land plots by decision of the authorities in accordance with the requirements of the law. It gives land owners and land users the right to fully utilize them, and on the other hand, prohibits them from going beyond the designated purpose. In the latter case, when the use of land plots acquires legal features of non-purposeful use, it is therefore qualified as a violation of land legislation. Conclusions and prospects for the development. It should be emphasized that the legislator should clearly define when a person is using a land plot for other than its intended purpose, and when it is necessary to talk about non-use of land, taking into account that in both cases it is an offense.

Authors: Patajalo Medina Milton Rolando , Flores Tarambis José Luis , Montero Estacio Francisco Fabian , Flores Pérez Edgar Geovanny , Arévalo Pacas Gabriela Katherine
Published: July 2024

El propósito de este estudio es analizar la prohibición de empeorar la situación inicial de la persona que recurre dentro de un proceso judicial penal, llamado principio “non reformatio in peius”. Esta garantía está establecida en el artículo 77 numeral 14 de la Constitución de la República del Ecuador. El método de investigación utilizado es documental y dogmático, basado principalmente en normas constitucionales, infraconstitucionales, doctrinales y jurisprudencia actualizada. La garantía constitucional, especifica que la situación de quien apela no puede empeorar, menos aun cuando el recurrente es el único que apela ante el tribunal superior. Sin embargo, aunque la contraparte recurra, si ella no solicita expresamente la modificación de lo resuelto por la autoridad inferior, el tribunal de apelación tiene prohibido pronunciarse en perjuicio del reclamante. Respaldados en la actual constitución garantista de derechos que rige, se buscar su absoluta y efectiva aplicación en beneficio de todos los ciudadanos ecuatorianos. Por esta razón se analiza teóricamente el principio “non reformatio in peius”, las generalidades del derecho a recurrir, su evolución, la prohibición de empeorar la situación de quien recurre en la legislación comparada, su concepto y naturaleza jurídica; y, la “non reformatio in peius” en Ecuador.

Authors: Apan Araujo Karla Cecilia , Apan - Araujo Giovana Lizet , Flores Cajica Sirenia Dolores , Flores Ramírez Óscar
Published: July 2024

Hoy en día, el dolor lumbar se considera un problema de salud pública en todo el mundo, y se espera que el 80% de la población experimentará dolor de espalda durante su vida. Según el IMSS (2023) el 18% de los adolescentes llega a presentar este tipo de dolor. El músculo transverso abdominal forma parte de la musculatura profunda del abdomen, donde sus fibras forman una especie de cinturón muscular. Juega un papel crucial en la estabilidad del tronco y un papel importante en la postura y funcionalidad en la zona lumbar y abdomen. De enero a noviembre de 2023, se aplicaron 30 sesiones de fortalecimiento del transverso abdominal al grupo experimental de 60 aprendientes de entre 18 y 19 años de la Universidad Politécnica de Amozoc, ubicada en Amozoc, Puebla. Se utilizó un pre y post test. La estadística fue descriptiva haciendo uso de medidas de tendencia central, prueba de Wilcoxon y Fisher. Se obtuvieron diferencias significativas tanto para la evaluación del estado de entrada y salida de los aprendientes después de la intervención, como, para saber si las actividades tuvieron un efecto directo en los resultados obtenidos.   El efecto de las sesiones de fortalecimiento coadyuva a la disminución de dolor lumbar, lo que conlleva a que esta intervención es una alternativa viable para el tratamiento y reeducación postural lumbar de los universitarios.

Unveiling SIR Model Parameters: Empirical Parameter Approach for Explicit Estimation and Confidence Interval Construction
Authors: Susyanto Nanang , Arcede Jayrold P.
Published: July 2024

We propose a simple parameter estimation method for the Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) model. This method offers explicit estimates of parameters using second-order numerical derivatives to construct empirical parameters. In addition, the method constructs confidence intervals, providing a robust assessment of parameter uncertainty. To validate the accuracy of our method, we applied it to simulated data, in order to demonstrate its effectiveness in accurately estimating the true model parameters. Furthermore, we applied this method to actual COVID-19 case data from the USA, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This application enables the estimation of parameters and reproductive numbers, along with their confidence intervals, thus underscoring the efficacy of our technique. Notably, the parameter estimates obtained through our approach successfully predicted the case numbers in all three countries, confirming its predictive reliability. Our method offers significant advantages in terms of simplicity and accuracy, making it an invaluable tool for epidemiological modeling and public health planning.

In this paper, we consider a method for constructing a multiweight theory of surface growth in terms of pseudotensors. The mathematical theory proposed for consideration is substantially based on the achievements of modern pseudotensor calculus. Definitions of multiweight pseudotensor elements of area and volume are given. The general multiweight form of the pseudotensor relation on a growing surface is derived, taking into account the additional selected direction. The necessary system of independent multiweight pseudotensor arguments of the defining pseudotensor function on the growing surface is determined. A complete multiweight set of joint rational pseudoinvariants of force and couple stress pseudotensors is determined. A pseudoinvariant complete formulation of the constitutive relations on the growing surface is given.

The present work analyzed the concentration of As, Cd, Pb, and Hg in sediment and the Hg concentration in fish muscle from two coastal lagoons in the states of Jalisco (Barra de Navidad Lagoon) and Colima (Cuyutlán Lagoon), Mexico. Both lagoons showed relatively low levels of metal contamination and potential health risk compared to other Mexican areas. A non-carcinogenic hazard quotient (HQ) was determined. As (10.7 ± 1.3 - 25.4 ± 3.1 μg g-1) and Pb (42.7 ± 4.2 - 123.9 ± 14.7 μg g-1) concentrations exceeded the permissible levels, otherwise for Hg and Cd were below the limits. The highest total mercury concentration was found in Haemulopsis sp. and Lutjanus sp. with 0.23 and 0.1 μg g-1 (wet weight) respectively, out of 14 species of fish analyzed that are frequently consumed locally. HQ based on the national daily per capita consumption of fish in Mexico and the consumption of fish associated with fishing communities in Mexico showed an HQs >2, which manifests the vulnerability of these communities to persistent toxic and bioaccumulative contaminants.
Dietary inclusion of Schizochytrium limacinum meal can maintain key productive parameters of pink cusk-eel (Genypterus blacodes) juveniles with a reduction in fish oil

Published: July 2024

The pink cusk-eel (Genypterus blacodes) is a promising new candidate species to diversify cold-water aquaculture further. However, there are several knowledge gaps to establish a commercial-scale cultivation strategy, with optimum feed formulation being one of the main remaining challenges. This study aimed to assess the dietary inclusion of Schizochytrium limacinum heterotrophic microalgae meal as a sustainable source of docosahexaenoic acid on fish growth and the condition status of pink cusk-eel juveniles. Three extruded diets were formulated to contain 0, 5 and 10% of dried algae and fed to duplicate groups of fish twice daily until apparent satiation during the 12-week trial. On termination of the feeding trial period, the average live weight gain did not show statistically significant differences between the three groups of juvenile fish, achieving an increase in weight of about two times at the end of the trial. Similarly, the protein efficiency and feed conversion ratios did not show significant differences among the experimental diets. On the contrary, a significant reduction in feed intake was observed as the dietary inclusion of microalgae meal increased. These results indicate that S. limacinum meal is a sustainable alternative ingredient for the dietary substitution of fish oil in commercial feed for G. blacodes at limited inclusion.
Migration behavior of anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) in the Northern Humboldt Current System between September 2019 and September 2020

Published: July 2024

Migrational behavior of anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) in the Northern Humboldt Current System between September 2019 and September 2020 is analyzed. Acoustic, biological, and oceanographic data and information from the several research cruises carried out by the Instituto del Mar del Perú (IMARPE) during this period were considered. The results showed the presence of transitory warm oceanographic events that induced the anchoveta population to make horizontal and vertical migrations in their search for cold conditions, the adult specimens (bigger than 12 cm of total length) retracted near the bottom of the platform being inaccessible to the fishing fleet; after the normalization of environmental conditions, their abundance was accessible to the fishing fleet. Therefore, the fishing activity in the second season of anchoveta fishing in 2019 had a negative impact due to the joint action of environmental events and events of a biological nature (entry of strong recruitment and migration). The anchoveta was preferably found in cold coastal waters that varied in the seasons. In the spring of 2019, it was found in temperatures lower than 22.1°C, in the summer of 2020 at temperatures lower than 23.1°C, and in the winter of 2020 at temperatures lower than 17.2°C; as for, salinity was always found in values lower than 35.2. The strategy of the migratory behavior of the anchoveta concerning its habitat in this period has allowed it to remain in its abundance in the Humboldt Current System, which added to adequate fishing management will allow it to maintain its sustainability.

Published: July 2024

Artemia franciscana is one of the most used organisms as live food to larvae of different marine species, so it is important to determine the appropriate food ration to improve its biochemical composition and maintain the nutritional stability of the Artemia. Furthermore, even though light is important in newly hatched nauplii, its effect in the late stages of Artemia have been poorly studied. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of food density (Chaetoceros muelleri microalgae) on the ingestion rate, protein, and lipid content of A. franciscana juveniles exposed and unexposed to light during 6 h. The experiment evaluated six treatments, resulting from combining three densities of C. muelleri as a food: 600,000, 900,000, and 1,200,000 cell mL-1 and two illumination conditions: exposed and unexposed to the light. The ingestion rate was evaluated at 3 and 6 h, while protein and lipid content at the end of the experiment. The highest ingestion rates were observed in the treatment of 900,000 cell mL-1 exposed to light at 3 h (253,118 cell ind-1 h-1) and unexposed to light at 6 h (164,712 cell ind-1 h-1). At the same time, the highest content of lipid (13.52 μg ind-1) and proteins (38.28 μg ind-1) per organism was obtained with the treatment of 900,000 cell mL-1 unexposed to light. There was an interaction between cell density and light since both factors influenced the results of the ingestion rate and lipid content of the juveniles of A. franciscana.

Healthy and Happy Natural Being: Spinoza and Epicurus Contra the Stoics
Authors: Smith Brandon
Published: July 2024

In this paper I aim to undermine Stoic and Neo-Stoic readings of Benedict de Spinoza by examining the latter’s strong agreements with Epicurus (a notable opponent of the Stoics) on the nature and ethical role of pleasure in living a happy life. Ultimately, I show that Spinoza and Epicurus are committed to three central claims which the Stoics reject: (1) pleasure holds a necessary connection to healthy natural being, (2) pleasure manifests healthy being through positive changes in state and states of healthy being per se, and (3) pleasure is by nature good. The Stoics reject these three claims due to their views on pleasant sensations as preferred moral indifferents and passionate pleasures as diseases of the soul, views which Spinoza (due to the abovementioned commitments) is strongly opposed to, thereby placing him (at least on the subject of pleasure) outside the realm of merely following or improving on Stoic doctrines. From this comparative analysis we also gain deeper insight into both Spinoza’s engagement with ancient Greek philosophy and the value of Epicureanism and Spinozism in helping us achieve and maintain happiness in the present day, particularly with respect to the benefits and harms of bodily and mental pleasures.
Can Animals Grieve?
Authors: Millar Becky
Published: July 2024

Empirical research provides striking examples of non-human animal responses to death, which look very much like manifestations of grief. However, recent philosophical work appears to challenge the idea that animals can grieve. Grief, in contrast to more rudimentary emotional experiences, has been taken to require potentially human-exclusive abilities like a fine-grained sense of particularity, an ability to project toward the distal future and the past, and an understanding of death or loss. This paper argues that these features do not rule out animal grief and are present in many animal loss responses. It argues that the principal kind of “understanding” involved in grief is not intellectual but is instead of a practical variety available to animals, and outlines ways that the disruption to an animal’s life following a loss can hinge upon a specific individual and involve a degree of temporal organisation.
D’une histoire des choses vues à l’histoire de l’image
Authors: Gendron Juliana
Published: July 2024

L’aigle, omniprésent dans l’iconographie du pouvoir romain, connaît une nouvelle postérité avec l’émergence du culte impérial. L’image du rapace apparaît, aux côtés de l’image du bûcher, comme une commémoration plastique privilégiée de la cérémonie de consécration. C’est au cours de cette cérémonie, dans une mise en scène spectaculaire doublée d’une sanction officielle du Sénat, que l’empereur recevait symboliquement l’apothéose. Selon Cassius Dion et Hérodien, deux auteurs hellénophones de l’époque des Sévères (193-235 n.è.), un aigle vivant était placé au sommet de l’immense bûcher de la consecratio, puis était lâché au milieu des flammes afin de donner à voir l’ascension du défunt vers l’Olympe. Néanmoins, malgré les textes et les images, plusieurs éléments invitent à douter de la présence réelle d’un aigle durant la cérémonie. Les images reflètent-elles un instant précis du cérémoniel ? Les textes décrivent-ils la réalité ? L’objectif est ici de confronter des données iconographiques et textuelles, et d’ouvrir une réflexion sur l’influence des représentations figurées dans la construction des récits. Dans quelle mesure les représentations iconographiques de l’aigle ont-elles pu contaminer les descriptions littéraires de la cérémonie ? Les auteurs ont-ils tiré leur récit de choses vues ou d’images bien connues ? Il s’agira en somme de penser le rapport entre les textes et les images, moins en termes de rivalités ou de pondération des sources, qu’en termes de dialogue, voire de contamination.
Les graffiti figuratifs, moyen d’appréhender l’identité des prisonniers de la fin du Moyen Âge
Authors: Ségard Audrey
Published: July 2024

Parmi les hommes du Moyen Âge relégués dans l’anonymat, en raison de l’absence ou du déficit de sources écrites et archéologiques mais aussi d’une rupture de mémoire, figurent la plupart des hommes condamnés à la prison. Peu de documents d’archives nous sont parvenus pour dévoiler le visage de ces inconnus, jugés pour certains par la justice ecclésiastique, dite l’officialité. Tout au plus connaît-on leurs noms et leurs dates d’incarcération grâce aux rares registres de sentences conservés. Pour combler ces lacunes, révéler l’identité de ces criminels incarcérés et les sortir de l’anonymat, l’étude des graffiti figuratifs se révèle précieuse. Certains prisonniers nous ont laissé des traces de leur passage en se « mettant en image », en traçant ou en gravant les murs de leurs cachots. Le présent article s’efforcera de faire l’analyse de ces modes d’expression figurée du monde carcéral de la fin du Moyen Âge, de leur donner sens pour rendre compte des pratiques socioculturelles de ces hommes prisonniers, et saisir leur identité qui se dévoile ainsi. Afin de s’approcher des préoccupations, des croyances, des pensées, de la vie même de ces hommes, les graffiti figuratifs présents au château de Selles de Cambrai (Nord), lieu d’enfermement à la fin du Moyen Âge, notamment pour l’officialité de Cambrai, serviront d’exemple.
Confronting Bias in Early Childhood Teacher Preparation
Authors: Walter Melissa C. , Batz Ruby , Burnham Melissa M. , Fiore Lisa B.
Published: July 2024

This chapter chronicles the transformative journey of a group of early childhood education (ECE) teacher educators as they critically examined the construction of early childhood teacher preparation courses. Rooted in critical pedagogy, their process demanded deep self-reflection and an acknowledgement of the oppressive systems within the field. Initially pursuing a linear checklist approach to cultivating inclusive practices, the team's extensive discussions and readings revealed the limitations of this method. Instead, they embraced a non-linear, formative spiral model, reflecting ongoing learning and reflection over time. Divided into four elements–identity and self-reflection, course syllabi, course design, and course content–-their approach aims to inspire faculty to confront biases, elevate marginalized voices, and reshape the ECE landscape. The authors invite readers into this ongoing journey, emphasizing the need for continuous introspection and collective effort to foster equity and inclusion in ECE.
Identifying Policy Flaws

Published: July 2024

Early childhood (EC) education is integral to the overall well-being of all young children. However, many children (e.g., Black and those with disabilities) experience an ECE system that is not equitable. In this chapter, presented are 1) the inherent flaws in ECE policies, 2) program inequities, 3) the potential benefits of equitable ECE policies and programs for Black children, and 4) recommendations for ECE stakeholders (i.e., educators, Black families, and policymakers) for addressing inequitable ECE as they contemplate a reconceptualization of ECE policies and educational programs for young Black children with and without disabilities.
Promoting Self-Determination as an Emancipatory Practice in Early Childhood Inclusion
Authors: Anton Jacqueline , Ucar Sara , Hagiwara Mayumi
Published: July 2024

Early intervention and early childhood special education are shifting to more inclusive and equity-empowered systems. High-quality inclusion challenges dominant norms around dis-ability and ableism to honor the strengths, preferences, and support needs of young children and their families. Equity-empowered systems promote high expectations and facilitate culturally responsive family-centered education aligned with anti-bias and anti-racist education frameworks. Research shows that promoting self-determination for children with dis-abilities can increase access to inclusive settings and enhance anti-bias and anti-racism by elevating individual and communal voices. This chapter proposes promoting self-determination as an emancipatory practice in early childhood and links high-quality inclusion with opportunities to engage in self-determined action. Further, the chapter proposes the promotion of self-determination as a culturally responsive practice aligned with anti-bias and anti-racism frameworks. Recommendations for practice and implications for future research are also discussed.
The Oslo Trilogy
Authors: Çakıcı Öztürk Gülçin
Published: July 2024

When the concept of serial film is mentioned, mostly Hollywood Industrial Cinema films come to mind. As a matter of fact, It is also possible to define serial films, due to their structure, as sub-genres that feed Hollywood's genre phenomenon and marketing conditions too much. Within the scope of this study, Joachim Trier's “Oslo Trilogy,” one of the Nordic auteur representatives of European Art Cinema, which can be an alternative to Hollywood serial films, will be evaluated. This evaluation will be made with the method of descriptive analysis on the axis of the cinematography and narrative of this trilogy. Therefore, the importance of the study is that it is based on the assumption that Trier's “Oslo Trilogy,” which is the latest in production year among the rare series from European Art Cinema, has differences in narrative and cinematography from the Hollywood trilogy serial films.
