Authors: Goyal Bharti , Munjal Sudhir , Sikri Ankit , Sharma Abhishek , Ryait Jasmeet , Gautam Rishu
Published: December 2023

Dentofacial skeletal anomalies occur as a result of a differential growth of the lower facial skeleton to upper facial skeleton resulting in malocclusion in transverse, vertical and sagittal plane.

To correlate different Vertical facial types with Dental arch width and Alveolar arch width for the patients in North Indian sub population.

Lateral cephalograms and study models of 150 untreated adults were selected and divided into 3 groups: Group I (Normodivergent), Group II (Hypodivergent) and Group III (Hyperdivergent) on the basis of (SN-MP angle, FMA, Gonial angle & Jarabak’s ratio). Dental arch width and Alveolar arch width were measured on maxillary and mandibular casts by using digital caliper.

All the 3 groups were compared by using ANOVA followed by Post Hoc Turkey HSD test. Significant (p<0.05) correlation was seen for parameters of Dental arch width and Alveolar arch width in both maxillary and mandibular arches with Facial divergence.

Dental and Alveolar arch width were maximum in hypodivergents followed by normodivergents and minimum in hyperdivergents in both maxillary and mandibular arches. Therefore, during orthodontic treatment it is suggested to use individualized arch wires according to each patients pretreatment arch form and widths.

Midface plays a vital role in contributing to facial aesthetics; despite this, there prevails a need for orthodontic literature to provide specific diagnostic criteria. We are blessed with ample literature to evaluate such, but due to some shortcomings, we lack to decide exact treatment plan. To clarify such limitations of various midface analysis, there is a need to consider the projections of the malar prominence in individuals with different skeletal mal-relationships.

40 subjects between the ages of 10 and 12 years, were equally divided into groups based on visual assessment of negative and positive vector relationships. Groups A and B comprised 20 subjects (10 male, 10 female) displaying a positive and negative vector relationship respectively. For both groups, Sella-nasion-Orbitale angulations were measured to evaluate the subjects’ anteroposterior position of the malar eminence relative to the cranial base.

The angulation measurements obtained for SNO were smaller in the negative vector than the positive on an average of 5.9°, P < 0.05. No significant difference in values between males and females was observed.

Visual assessment of vector relationships can effectively classify anterior malar projection which can be utilized to decide different orthodontic treatment modalities.

Published: December 2023

Treatment of any malocclusion requires careful diagnosis and treatment planning to resolve aesthetic, occlusal, and functional problems. Premolar extractions in orthodontics, over the years has been carried out to relieve dental crowding and affect incisor inclination. Clinicians’ decisions on premolar extractions and the extraction patterns have been influenced by desired anchorage control or changes to the vertical dimension. The introduction of mini-screw skeletal anchorage systems has broadened our horizons by giving us complete control over the anchorage as well as good vertical control. However, this case report shows the vertical control and the anchorage achieved using the low-lying transpalatal arch. The use of basic armamentarium along with avoiding an invasive procedure, provides an equally efficacious treatment outcome.

Method of scanning thin surfaces in repairing gas turbine blades
Authors: Kotlyar D. I. , Lomanov A. N.
Published: December 2023

Improving the efficiency of weld overlay repair of gas turbine blades by developing and implementing a method of scanning complex curved surfaces of gas turbine blades directly on the machine is the aim of this work. The paper proposes an approach to scanning a blade with a computer vision system mounted near the nozzle on the same machine that is used for direct metal deposition. The computer vision system consists of a triangulation laser sensor and a camera. The proposed algorithm is adaptive to the mechanical condition of the equipment used for scanning and metal deposition. The scans obtained from the machine vision system have precision better than 0.05mm in 67.56% of cases, and precision better than 0.1mm in 95.75% of cases. That accuracy, with a laser spot of 0.5 to 1.0mm, is sufficient for further use of the scans in repairing gas turbine blades. The proposed approach makes it possible to speed up the preparation of technological programs for direct metal deposition by 10 times compared to the manual scanning method.
Model of the turboprop engine reduction gear tooth harmonic spectral component
Authors: Sundukov A. E. , Shakhmatov E. V.
Published: December 2023

The width of spectral components in rotary machines is determined by the frequency modulation of the carrier from the rotor speed deviation in the stationary operation mode. It was shown that, for the tooth spectral component, it is not enough to take into account this factor only. The analysis of publications and the studies performed show that it is also determined by the effect of many other factors: process-related ones (errors in manufacturing and assembly of gear wheels), operation mode parameters (rpm, temperature, transmitted load); design-related factors (flexibility of drive parts; modification of the tooth face), as well as uneven wear of tooth flanks. Using the planetary gearbox of a turboprop engine as an example, the structure of the tooth spectral component width in function of the analyzed influencing factors was considered. Based on the vibration statistics for eighteen gearboxes in overhauled engines, the choice of a ratio for the spectral component width of a frequency modulated process was justified. This choice showed readings closest to the corresponding experimental data. For the vibration of ten gearboxes with different degrees of tooth flank wear, the corresponding dependence of the width on the wear is presented. A mathematical model for the tooth spectral component width in overhauled and newly manufactured gearboxes as the product of the constant coefficient with the deviation dispersion sum from the considered factors was proposed. The same dependence was also given for gearboxes with wear when adding the dispersion from wear to the dispersion sum. It was demonstrated that, for the presented case of the maximum wear, its fraction in the total width was about 50%, whereas the fraction of the frequency modulation from the operating system of adjusting relative rotor speed constancy in the stationary engine operation mode was equal to half of all the other factors.
Designing an active electronically scanned array as part of onboard equipment of a high-speed radio communication channel
Authors: Zhdanov E. R. , Slavyanskiy A. O. , Kharina O. S. , Shpack A. V.
Published: December 2023

The active electronically scanned array being developed is designed to provide an all-weather high-speed radio communication channel “Spacecraft – Earth”. It is supposed to provide fast, inertia-free observation of space by swinging the antenna beam electrically, and, in fact, is a dynamic space-time filter of the spacecraft. The aim of the work is to identify the basic principles of functioning of the array as part of the spacecraft with inherent limitations in the mass-dimensional and energy characteristics of the onboard equipment and, at the same time, high requirements for the functional characteristics. This paper presents the calculation and the main results of designing an active electronically scanned array complying with the requirements for optimizing the parameters of the antenna system. To assess the effect of scanning on the phase characteristics of the chips, a nonlinear amplifier model was developed. A statistical analysis of the phase characteristics was carried out when the load resistance changed in accordance with the obtained distribution laws. When calculating the resulting directional pattern of the antenna array, destabilizing factors were taken into account in accordance with the results of the study of the prototypes of the antenna array being created. Phase errors were calculated, mainly determined by the errors of the terminal parts of the receiving paths. Measures were implemented to ensure the effect of such phase errors on the directional pattern of the array only on the far side lobes.
The Reception of the Copernican Universe by Representatives of 17th-Century Jewish Philosophy and Their Search for Harmony Between the Scientific and Religious Images of the World (David Gans and Joseph Solomon Delmedigo)
Authors: Świeżyński Adam
Published: December 2023

The reception of the heliocentric theory of Nicolaus Copernicus in Jewish thought of the 17th-century period is a good exemplification of the issue concerning the formation of the relationship between natural science and theology, or more broadly: between science and religion. The fundamental question concerning this relationship, which we can ask from today’s perspective of this problem, is: How does it happen that claims of a scientific nature, which are initially considered from a religious point of view to be incompatible with the religious view of the world, are later accepted as possible to agree with this image of reality and are assimilated by a given religion? Based on the reception of the Copernican image of the universe by two representatives of Jewish philosophy in the 17th century—David Gans and Joseph Solomon Delmedigo—it is possible to trace this process and pose the thesis that it takes place according to two strategies. Within the framework of the first one, represented by Gans, in a situation of incompatibility between the scientific and religious images of nature, a scientific theory is sought that explains the observed phenomena and, on the other hand, satisfies the religious claims. Finding such a theory solves the problem of the incompatibility mentioned above of images of the world, gives the theory credibility from the religious point of view and constitutes an argument for its correctness. The second strategy, represented by Delmedigo, consists in refraining from pursuing a direct, immediate, and unequivocal reconciliation of the two images of the world while at the same time recognizing a properly justified scientific theory as correctly describing and explaining the phenomena occurring in nature. Consequently, the apparent incompatibility between the scientific and the religious worldview demands either a reformulation of religious statements in such a way as to remove this incompatibility or the restriction of the meaning of religious statements to the strictly religious and moral sphere, without the ambition to speak about nature. In either case, however, it is already a task for the representatives of the religion concerned who, when confronted with adequately justified scientific claims, to avoid exposing their religion to the accusation that its claims are unreasonable and anachronistic, undertake the task mentioned above of modifying or limiting the scope of their statements. It seems that in the representatives of Jewish thought and Judaism, who are the successors of Gans and Delmedigo, generally speaking, the second strategy has prevailed in this version, in which one abandons the claim of religion to statements about the material world at the price of a significant divergence of the paths of science and religion. Consequently, it treats them as different narratives, describing and explaining two separate spheres of reality.
Jacka Wojtysiaka krytyka probabilistycznego argumentu ze zła za nieistnieniem Boga
Authors: Łukasiewicz Dariusz
Published: December 2023

W artykule rozważam sformułowaną przez Jacka Wojtysiaka krytykę probabilistycznego argumentu z istnienia wielkiego faktu zła za nieistnieniem Boga. Sugeruję, że proponowana przez J. Wojtysiaka krytyka tego argumentu powinna zostać zmodyfikowana w taki sposób, aby nie prowadziła ona do wniosku, że Bóg jest przyczyną zła. Proponuję korektę dotycząca koncepcji Bożej przyczynowości. Wskazuję również na inny sposób osłabienia argumentu probabilistycznego ze zła niż ten wybrany przez J. Wojtysiaka. Proponuję podważyć przesłankę głoszącą, że zło istnieje, przy założeniu naturalizmu. Sygnalizuję krótko trudności naturalistycznego realizmu moralnego i wskazuję na ewolucyjne argumenty podważające moralny realizm. W kontekście tych trudności rozważam stanowisko Paula Drapera, pioniera probabilistycznego (Baysowskiego) argumentu ze zła za ateizmem, i staram się pokazać niektóre słabości jego poglądów. Następnie formułuję teistyczny argument dedukcyjny z istnienia zła i sugeruję, że ze względu na prostotę należy preferować argumentację dedukcyjną, a nie probabilistyczną na rzecz teizmu.
(Nie)równy pojedynek na argumenty
Authors: Lipski Piotr
Published: December 2023

W swojej książce Między ukryciem a jawnością. Esej z filozofii religii i teologii filozoficznej Jacek Wojtysiak podejmuje temat Bożego ukrycia. W początkowych rozdziałach wchodzi w polemikę z argumentem J.L. Schellenberga, który z istnienia rzetelnej niewiary wyciąga wniosek o nieistnieniu Boga. W celu zneutralizowania tego argumentu Wojtysiak odwraca go, konstruując argument na rzecz istnienia Boga z faktu istnienia rzetelnych wierzących, a następnie wzmacnia go do argumentu z wielkiego faktu wiary (i jego kolejnych wersji). Argumentuję, że odwrócone argumenty Wojtysiaka (z rzetelnych wierzących i z wielkiego faktu wiary) nie są symetrycznym odbiciem wyjściowego argumentu z rzetelnych niewierzących, gdyż są od niego słabsze. Wskazuję, że niektóre argumenty Wojtysiaka mogą być odwrócone przez ateistę. Podnoszę też kwestię, że wniosek końcowych argumentów Wojtysiaka nie jest satysfakcjonujący dla teisty.
Nic nadzwyczajnego. Wielki fakt wiary i jego naturalistyczne wyjaśnienie
Authors: Ruczaj Stanisław
Published: December 2023

W swojej książce Między ukryciem a jawnością (2023) profesor Jacek Wojtysiak utrzymuje, że przy założeniu ateistycznego naturalizmu nie da się przekonująco wyjaśnić „wielkiego faktu wiary”, to jest zjawiska historycznej trwałości i powszechności przekonania o istnieniu Boga. W tym artykule polemizuję z tą tezą. Odwołując się do wybranych koncepcji z zakresu religioznawstwa kognitywnego, naszkicowuję naturalistyczne wyjaśnienie powstawania wierzeń religijnych.
Pier Paolo Pasolini und das Christentum. Einige Facetten einer Komplexen Beziehung
Authors: Zwick Reinhold
Published: December 2023

Mit seinen vielgestaltigen künstlerischen Arbeiten und bemerkenswert aktuell gebliebenen kulturkritischen Schriften erfreut sich Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) auch fast fünfzig Jahre nach seinem Tod ungebrochen hoher internationaler Aufmerksamkeit. Der vorliegende Beitrag profiliert die zentrale, gleichwohl zumeist unterschätzte Rolle des christlichen Glaubens für Pasolinis Leben und Werk, ungeachtet seiner Selbstbezeichnung als Atheist. Teils überblickshaft, teils in entfalteten Stichproben kommen dazu ausgewählte biographische Zeugnisse, literarische Arbeiten und Filme Pasolinis in den Blick, insbesondere seine beiden ihm sehr wichtigen, unrealisiert gebliebenen Filmprojekte „Der heilige Paulus“ und sein letztes Filmskript „Porno-Theo-Kolossal,“ der intendierte Schlussstein und die Summe seiner Regiearbeiten. Dabei wird die markante christologische Ader sichtbar, die nicht nur Pasolinis Oeuvre, sondern auch sein Leben tiefgreifend durchformt.
Stereotypical Elements in the Narrative Structure of the Nationally “Other” in Contemporary Polish and Ukrainian Cinema
Authors: Rosinska Olena
Published: December 2023

This paper researches topical Ukrainian and Poland cinema narratives related to interaction with the representatives of other nationalities in the territory of one country. The purpose of the research is to analyse changes in intercultural narratives related to the national stereotypes in contemporary films. The current development stage of the world culture requires new narratives –signals about that appear in the world and Ukrainian cinema. For Ukraine, these narratives become especially relevant after 2014. Now, the Ukrainians are thinking over their history and their relationship with those who the history united them with in a new way. This is perfectly illustrated by the films under analysis, Why I Am Alive (Ukrainian title: Chomu ya zhyvyi) (2015) and Shchedryk (2022), where the characters build a new discourse of their value-based existence by getting released from national stereotypes. Some stereotypes are analysed extensively in relation to films Lessons of Farsi, The Pianist, The Jew (Żyd).
Autonomiczność tekstu homilii
Authors: Klementowicz Michał
Published: December 2023

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest opisanie konstrukcji homilii jako tekstu autonomicznego. Przedstawione tu rozumowanie pozwoliło wyodrębnić dwa poziomy owej własności: merytoryczny oraz strukturalny. Dzięki tym zakresom głoszone w celebracji słowo może otrzymać charakterystyczny kształt właściwy dla typologii opisywanego tekstu. Rezultatem opracowania jest wykazanie, że osiągnięta samodzielność wypowiedzi umożliwia tzw. dysponowanie jej treścią. Ma to swoje ściśle praktyczne znaczenie – daje szansę, aby niwelować rozdźwięk między sensem przekazywanym przez duchowego (what is said) a znaczeniem tekstu faktycznie odbieranym przez słuchaczy (what is understood).
Kongregacja Rozkrzewiania Wiary a bernardyńska misja sui iuris na Sachalinie
Authors: Sitnik Aleksander Krzysztof
Published: December 2023

Artykuł prezentuje pracę misyjną polskich bernardynów, którą podjęli na Sachalinie japońskim na początku XX w. W 1932 r. Kongregacja Rozkrzewiania Wiary utworzyła samodzielną placówkę misyjną sui iuris i oddała ją pod opiekę Zakonowi Braci Mniejszych, prowincji bernardyńskiej w Polsce. Misyjną działalność bernardynów na Sachalinie wspierała nie tylko Kongregacja Rozkrzewiania Wiary, ale także Kuria Generalna Zakonu Braci Mniejszych w Rzymie i Kuria Prowincjalna Prowincji Niepokalanego Poczęcia NMP w Polsce. Kongregacja Rozkrzewiania Wiary, aby jeszcze bardziej spotęgować działania misjonarzy, w 1938 r. utworzyła prefekturę apostolską w Karafuto. Pomimo tak wielu wysiłków instytucji kościelnych na skutek niesprzyjających warunków politycznych bernardyńska misja na Sachalinie musiała zostać zamknięta już w 1948 r.
Gulât-ı Şîa’nın Mehdi Tasavvurunda Mitolojik Unsurlar
Authors: ORUÇ Muhammed Cihat
Published: December 2023

İnsanlık tarihinde bilinen dinî geleneklerin tamamına yakınında gelecekte ortaya çıkacak bir kurtarıcı fikri bulunmaktadır. Bu düşünce veya inancın tarihî süreçte çeşitli sembolik motiflerle zenginleşerek mitolojik bir boyut kazandığı görülmektedir. Aynı şekilde antik dönemlerde farklı medeniyetlere ait mitolojik anlatılarda bu düşünceyi yansıtan temalar yer almaktadır. İslam kültüründe erken dönem Şiî gulât kesimlerin mehdî tasavvurlarında da Ortadoğu dinî gelenek ve mitolojik anlatılarında geçen kurtarıcı düşüncesi etrafında örülen efsanelerden bazı motifler dikkat çekmektedir. Bu bağlamda, kurtarıcı inancının farklı yönlerini anlamak için insanlığın kolektif hayal gücünün ürünü olan mitolojik unsurları göz önünde bulundurmanın büyük bir öneme sahip olduğunu düşünmekteyiz. Çalışmamız bu noktada, karşılaştırmalı bir değerlendirme ile, diğer din ve toplumların mitsel anlatıları ile ilk aşırı Şiî kesimlerin mehdî anlayışında bulunan bazı mitolojik imgelere dikkat çekmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, genel bilim metodolojisinin temel prensiplerine dayalı olarak tanımlama, açıklama, karşılaştırma, ilişki kurma ve yorumlama yöntemleri kullanılmıştır.

Tohumlar, birçok bitki türünün neslini devam ettirebilmesinin tek yoludur. Bu nedenle tüm dünyada sürdürülebilir bir tarımsal üretim için tohum çok önemli bir rol oynamakla birlikte gıda güvenlik zinciri büyük oranda yüksek kalitede tohuma bağlı olarak gerçekleşmektedir. Bu nedenle, tohumların çevreyle dost doğal yollarla kalitesini korumak çok önemlidir. Tarımsal üretimde tohumların toprakla buluşmasından itibaren bitkilerin çok sayıda stres faktörüne maruz kalması, tarımsal üretim ve gıda güvenlik zincirinin önündeki en önemli engeldir. Stres, bitkilerin fizyolojik fonksiyonlarında değişikliklere neden olmakta, bu da bitki büyümesinde gerilemeye ve düşük tarımsal verime yol açmaktadır. Tohumlarda çimlenmeyi, fide canlılığını ve çeşitli stres faktörlerine karşı dayanıklılığı artırmak için farklı tohum astarlama yöntemleri kullanılmaktadır. Bu yöntemlerden biri olan biyo-priming ile tohum astarlaması, tohumların fizyolojik fonksiyonlarını geliştirmek için faydalı biyolojik ajanların kullanımına dayanan uygulaması kolay bir tekniktir. Bu teknik toprak verimliliğini arttırılmasına, toprak-su kirliliğinin azaltılmasına katkıda bulunmakta ve agro-ekolojik dengenin yeniden sağlanmasına yardımcı olmaktadır. Biyo-priming tekniği ile tohum astarlaması uygulamasının sade, basit ve ekonomik olması, tarımsal üretime ve çevreye olumlu katkılarından dolayı da birden fazla öne çıkan özelliği ile son zamanlarda artan bir ilgi görmektedir. Bu derleme makalede, sürdürülebilir tarıma ulaşmanın yolunda iyi bir ekosistemin oluşturulmasının önemli bir bileşeni olarak düşünülen biyo-priming tekniği ile mikrobiyal tohum astarlanması incelenecektir.

Published: December 2023

Food industrialization plays a vital role in enhancing the availability of food products, catering to the growing demands of the global population, and ensuring food safety and product variety. With the aim of sparking children’s interest in food industrialization, the second-period class of the Higher Degree in Food Technology at UniSenai (Campus Chapecó) welcomed a visit from a municipal school. This visit served as an evaluative activity for the curricular component of Applied Project I. Initially, a questionnaire was administered to identify students with food allergies or intolerances. The event commenced with a reception, followed by a performance illustrating the evolution and significance of food industrialization. Subsequently, the school students engaged in a hands-on activity where they were taught the appropriate hand hygiene technique. This was followed by a tour of the institution’s educational laboratories, allowing the children to view the equipment used in industrial processing. A “Dare or Double Dare” style Q&A game was then conducted to reinforce the concepts discussed. The event concluded with a gathering among participants. The scholars’ dedication and enthusiasm in taking a central role throughout the process were evident. Concurrently, the children’s infectious joy and keen interest in exploring the realm of food technology were unmistakable.

For increasing the efficiency of heat transfer processes, the layer-by-layer concept of arrangement of various types of packings in column apparatuses is considered. The results of hydraulic tests of a dry and irrigated cell packing, as well as individual hydraulic tests of a mesh packing, are presented. Methods and algorithms for solving linear programming problems under “uncertainty” conditions were considered. However, in some areas of science it is often difficult or impossible to formalize the problem in an appropriate way and reduce it to a linear programming problem. In this paper, methods for solving non-linear programming problems with a vector objective function are considered. At present, the use of non-linear programming in the vast majority of real situations is reduced to linear approximation models. Along with this, at a significant non-linearity, due to its specificity or influence on the nature of the model, it is necessary to apply optimization methods that are much more complex than, for example, the simplex method. However, the importance of non-linear programming is constantly increasing. This is due to the rapidly growing knowledge of managers and specialists in the use of mathematical models designed to prepare solutions, as well as the increasing availability of computer programs for solving large-scale nonlinear problems. The analysis and studies of the hydrodynamics of a number of regular packings have shown that cell and mesh packings are promising for the implementation of the phase inversion mode. The proposed concept of intensifying heat transfer processes in column apparatuses is based on the use of layers of various packings arranged in the following order in the apparatus, type 1 – cell, type 2 – mesh. At the same time, their main geometric characteristics differ significantly from each other. However, the structure of the bulk packing is inhomogeneous, which makes it difficult to implement a stable mode of local phase inversion under these conditions. This is due to the structure of column apparatuses with bulk packing, in which there is an increased proportion of pores (porosity) near the walls of the apparatus. Porosity is very significant; it can reach up to 40%, and as a result, the local velocity near the walls exceeds the velocity in the centre of the apparatus by up to 70%. By contrast, the use of regular packing structures makes this potentially highly efficient mode technically possible.

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems generalize poorly on accented speech, creating bias issues for users and providers. The phonetic and linguistic variability of accents present challenges for ASR systems in both data collection and modeling strategies. We present two promising approaches to accented speech recognition— custom vocabulary and multilingual modeling— and highlight key challenges in the space. Among these, lack of a standard benchmark makes research and comparison difficult. We address this with a novel corpus of accented speech: Earnings-22, A 125 file, 119 hour corpus of English-language earnings calls gathered from global companies. We compare commercial models showing variation in performance when taking country of origin into consideration and demonstrate targeted improvements using the methods we introduce.
Assessment of Innovativeness of the EU Candidate Countries Based on the European Innovation Scoreboard
Authors: Dworak Edyta
Published: December 2023

Innovation is seen as a key capability for maintaining a competitive advantage, creating value for customers, and capturing a larger share of the market. In the contemporary world economy, understood as a set of mutual connections and interdependencies, innovations are crucial for economic growth and competitiveness. Internationalization and globalization processes in the world economy also concern the innovativeness of economies, and are visible in international use of technologies developed within national innovation systems, globalization of the creation and implementation of innovations, international (global) cooperation in research and development and innovation activities, international (global) protection of intellectual property.
The aim of the article is to assess the level of innovativeness of the economies of selected European Union candidate countries based on the Summary Innovation Index (SII) and its components, as well as to estimate the innovation gap between these countries and the EU average of the Summary Innovation Index in 2023. The analysis was limited to Turkey (TR), Serbia (RS), Albania (AL), Montenegro ME), North Macedonia (MK), Bosnia and Herzegovina (BA) and Ukraine (UA) due to the availability of data describing the Summary Innovation Index, provided for all the EU candidate countries surveyed in the European Innovation Scoreboard. The paper formulates a research thesis assuming that the surveyed EU candidate countries are characterized by a lower level of innovativeness of economies than the EU average of the Summary Innovation Index and its components. Therefore, they show an innovation gap compared to the average for European Union countries in 2023. The results of the analysis only partially confirm this thesis. The article reviewed the literature on the innovation and innovativeness of economies and the innovation gap. The applied methods include descriptive analysis, statistical data analysis and comparative analysis along with statistical data from the European Innovation Scoreboard 2023.

Estos análisis permiten comprender mejor los obstáculos significativos que el cambio climático y las especies invasoras representan para el desarrollo y éxito de la producción de maíz en la región. El procedimiento empleado incluyó la recopilación de datos climáticos y geográficos, donde se utilizaron 288 registros de presencia para Tridax procumbens y 157 para Torenia crustacea cuya fuente es Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF); se utilizó el software Maxent para evaluar modelos bajo criterios de Curva ROC y AUC. Se determinó que Torenia crustacea y Tridax procumbens bajo el escenario RCP 4.5 presentó una estabilidad de 1,435 km² en el futuro cercano 2050 y de 2,256 km² en el futuro lejano 2070 RCP 8.5. Por otro lado, su rango de pérdida varía entre 1,885 km2 y 668 km² para el 2070 entre ambos escenarios (RCP 4.5 y 8.5). Lo que demuestra la magnitud del problema de la propagación de especies invasoras Tridax procumbens y Torenia crustacea en los cultivos de maíz.

La industria cinematográfica ha comenzado a generar desde hace x tiempo nuevos procesos en la cadena de valor gracias a la irrupción de nuevas tecnologías como el blockchain. La tecnología blockchain procede del ámbito informático y es analizada en este artículo con el objetivo de identificar y reflexionar sobre los nuevos modelos de negocio que conlleva dicha tecnología.En este sentido, se analiza cómo los NFTs (Non Fungible Tokens), soportes únicos digitales regulados precisamente a través de la tecnología blockchain, irrumpen en formatos de creación artística y cinematográfica, logrando así alcanzar nuevos públicos. Esto supone controversias respecto a la propiedad intelectual y su consiguiente gestión. Como resultado de la investigación realizada, con una valoración positiva y una apertura a las nuevas formas de producción, se descubre que la irrupción de nuevos procesos requiere de ciertos tiempos de asimilación, en tanto la transparencia en las gestiones, el grado de conocimiento y manejo de la tecnología y la desconfianza se presentan como aspectos observados entre los usuarios.
Regulaciones e inteligencias artificiales en Argentina
Authors: Vercelli Ariel
Published: December 2023

La regulación de las inteligencias artificiales (IA) devino un tema clave para las agendas tanto de los estados nación como de los organismos internacionales. En los países de América Latina y, particularmente, en Argentina, estos temas no han pasado desapercibidos y es posible encontrar numerosas iniciativas que se orientan a planificar y regular diferentes aspectos de las IA. Incluso, es posible advertir que estos intentos de regulaciones legales han aumentado luego de atravesar la pandemia. Al respecto, ¿qué políticas públicas sobre IA se han implementado en Argentina? ¿Cuántos proyectos de ley se están tratando en el Congreso de la Nación? ¿Tiene Argentina una estrategia nacional sobre cómo regular las IA? El artículo tiene por objeto relevar y analizar los diferentes antecedentes de regulación de las IA en Argentina desde 2018 hasta finales de 2023, incluyendo tanto las políticas públicas del Poder Ejecutivo como los proyectos de ley presentados en el Congreso de la Nación. El artículo forma parte de una investigación de mayor alcance que analiza las relaciones de co-construcción entre las IA y sus regulaciones, y busca fortalecer la soberanía tecnológica y las políticas públicas en Argentina.
CONCEPTUAL REVIEW OF FAMILY RESILIENCE
Authors: Stojadinović Dušica
Published: December 2023

Family resilience is a dynamic process that helps families to navigate and overcome adversities and crises. The introduction of general systems theory and its application to family therapy further contributed to developing the concept of family resilience. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of family resilience while highlighting some of the challenges in its conceptualization, whose reconsideration might be of broader importance in future research. Starting from the understanding of the development path of the concept of family resilience, this paper provides insight into how to view the key constructs incorporated in the concept of family resilience. Following this, emphasis in this paper is given to the challenges in conceptualizing family resilience. These challenges include definitions of family resilience, central terms used in models, and variations in the operationalization and measurement of key constructs. The models of family resilience presented in the paper are the ones considered influential in contemporary family studies. They provide frameworks for understanding the processes and cycles involved in family adjustment, adaptation, and response to stress and crisis. The conceptual review offered by this paper could contribute to conducting further research on family resilience.

Modern ethnic processes among the Komi-Izhma people of the Kola Peninsula
Authors: Krivonogov V.
Published: December 2023

The study conducted among the Komi-Izhma people of the Murmansk region during an ethnographic expedition in August 2023, aimed to identify the nature of modern ethnic processes. The main part of the Komi population lives in the villages of the Lovozero region. In the course of the study, a mass survey of 25% of rural Izhma residents was conducted using a special questionnaire; for adults, the questionnaire was compiled during a direct conversation, questionnaires for children were compiled from the words of their parents. A total of 252 questionnaires were compiled. It turned out that the Komi-Izhma people had almost forgotten their language and traditional culture. There was a breakthrough in endogamy - two thirds of Komi families were mixed in ethnic composition, most often with Saami and Russians. The share of people of mixed origin among the Komi is 2/3, and among children and youth is close to 100%. The absolute number of Komi-Izhma people in the main settlement area is declining as a result of migration to towns and negative natural growth.
The marital structure of the population of the Komi region at the end of the XIX century
Authors: Vishnyakova D.
Published: December 2023

Based on materials of the First General Population Census of the Russian Empire, the marital structure of the population of the Komi Region is considered. A comparison of the marital status of rural and urban population is carried out. The gender and age differences in marital structure are analyzed. As a result of the study, the proportion of all categories of marital status, both men and women, were determined by individual age groups. Peculiarities in the demographic behavior of the population due to ethnicity and social status are revealed. In rural areas, the younger marriageable age up to 20 years was significantly dominated by people who had never been married, which was a consequence of the fairly mature marriageable age that had developed in the Komi Region. A tendency was also revealed to increase the number of widows among women from the age of 30-39, with the sharpest jump at the age of 50. Among men, the number of widowers increased slightly, a jump in this category of persons was observed in the age group of 60 years and older. The asymmetry of marital status was more pronounced in the urban population in the age groups of 40 years and older than in the rural population.
