Influencia de los programas sociales y el nivel de pobreza, Lima Metropolitana (2010-2022)
Authors: Carranza Montero Moisés Roberto
Published: January 2024

El propósito de esta investigación consistía en determinar la influencia entre los programas sociales y el nivel de pobreza en Lima Metropolitana, entre 2010 y 2022. Por consiguiente, mediante la teoría del sistema de distribución de ingresos, se justifica teóricamente que la investigación presenta las circunstancias en las que las poblaciones denominadas vulnerables poseen necesidades particulares, debido a sus circunstancias particulares. El enfoque de la investigación se basa en un enfoque cuantitativo, basado en un diseño no experimental de investigación transversal y un diseño explicativo, en el cual se examinarán los resultados con el fin de demostrar la solución planteada siendo viable y oportuna. De acuerdo con Hernández, Baptista (2010), el estudio con diseño no experimental persigue la toma de la información en la fuente de datos, en este caso del ENAHO. Al 95% de confianza, se concluye que el programa Social Pensión 65 incrementa la pobreza. En ese sentido, por cada unidad de cambio en la pensión 65 existe una probabilidad del 43.3% de aumento de la pobreza. Considerando de otra forma, por cada unidad de cambio en la pensión 65 este aumentaría en 1.38 veces la pobreza.
Vida e morte na condição digital
Authors: Susca Vincenzo
Published: January 2024

Este artigo postula que a tecnológica acentuadamente globalizada ou em rede deflagra uma fronteira simbólica que separa o mundo dos vivos daquele dos mortos. E é essa mesma tecnologia, em suas múltiplas ramificações, com seu uso tanto científico quanto lúdico, que se implanta no imaginário cotidiano, para fins institucionais e pela apropriação social, e revela não só as tendências em curso, como também suas fricções. Precisamente, na defesa deste ou daquele credo, é o que está em jogo aqui, variando das mais graves situações até as mais anódinas, como forma de experiência do Ser.
O pós-moderno e o caráter estético das performances nos “tribalismos” cotidianos
Authors: Barudi de Matos Luis Miguel , CAROLINNE DE SÁ ARTMANN DAYANNE
Published: January 2024

Este artigo procura, a partir de uma visão mais ensaística do que rígida, investigar o termo “performance” como análogo ao “tribalismo” pós-moderno de caráter estético. Um pós-moderno que trans-forma (o além da forma) do então positivismo calcado, nos três últimos séculos, em um Projeto da Modernidade. Hoje, ao contrário, já assimilamos, confortavelmente, teorias oriundas de investigações do nosso inconsciente, lá atrás, e do imaginário nos anos 1960. Outro tema de viés pós-moderno são os aspectos formativos de uma vontade, principalmente com o Foucault. Ou, ainda, para corroborar com nossa tese, debruçamo-nos, também, nos hibridismos culturais, em Canclini, entre outros autores mencionados neste trabalho. Consideramos, a título de conclusão, que o performático se dá – em um mundo descontínuo – na paradoxal aglutinação dos indivíduos em torno dos “tribalismos” pós-modernos antes de caráter estético do que ideológico.
Uma Análise Da Atuação De Massas De Ar No Município De Corumbataí – Sp Por Meio Dos Diagramas De Venn (2005-2012)
Authors: De Mello Bruno Falararo , Roberto Ferreira de Aguiar Junior Paulo
Published: January 2024

Neste artigo, objetiva-se analisar a atuação das massas de ar e sua relação com a gênese das precipitações no município paulista de Corumbataí. Para tanto, dados de precipitação e temperatura mensais do período de 2005 a 2012 foram extraídos de um posto meteorológico existente em uma área rural do município. Para a detecção das massas de ar, aplicou-se uma técnica simples, por meio de um gráfico chamado Diagrama de Venn. Trata-se de um gráfico em que se lançam dados de precipitação total mensal e temperatura média mensal em um único ponto, para cada mês do ano analisado. Ao ligar esses pontos, forma-se um polígono, que permite a visualização e posterior interpretação da atuação das massas de ar ao longo de um ano. Ao se lançar os dados obtidos do posto meteorológico nos diagramas e analisá-los, conclui-se que os anos em que a atuação da massa polar atlântica foi mais intensa houve maior precipitação, sobretudo nos meses de inverno. Ao contrário, os anos em que sua atuação foi mais discreta as chuvas tiveram sensível diminuição.

Konstantego Michalskiego idea człowieka twórcy
Authors: Telus Jan
Published: January 2024

Ks. Konstanty Michalski poświęcił większość swoich badań filozoficznych średniowiecznej filozofii. Jego prace są zarówno cenione w środowisku naukowym, jak i wśród duchownych. Był profesorem filozofii chrześcijańskiej na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim i aktywnym organizatorem kultury katolickiej. Michalski przedstawiał ideę człowieka jako istoty twórczej, dynamicznej i zdolnej do wpływania na kulturę na różnych poziomach. Zwracał uwagę na problemy współczesnego człowieka, filozofię i teologię dziejów, znaczenie świąt chrześcijańskich oraz życie osób twórczych. Jego prace ukazywały ideę człowieka, który ma zdolności twórcze i może osiągnąć postawę heroiczną. W kontekście ówczesnego klimatu intelektualnego, zdominowanego przez antropocentryzm, Michalski analizował wpływ różnych humanizmów, takich jak Nietzsche i marksizm. W jego antropologii, opartej na myśli tomistycznej i uzupełnionej o dane psychologii empirycznej, człowiek był postrzegany jako "unitas multiplex", jednostka o różnych siłach i funkcjach, z wewnętrznym dynamizmem i zdolnością do twórczej działalności. Michalski podkreślał trzy aspekty ontyczne zdolności twórczych człowieka: jedność psychofizyczna i jej dynamizm, dynamizm obrazu Bożego oraz nadprzyrodzona rzeczywistość łaski. Te trzy elementy, pochodzące od Stwórcy, sprawiały, że człowiek był zdolny do twórczej aktywności na różnych płaszczyznach. W kontekście dziejów ludzkich Michalski zaznaczał, że człowiek jest twórcą dziejów, gwarantując kontynuację, realizację immanentnego sensu ludzkiego życia i sensu Bożego. Działalność człowieka w historii miała przyczynić się do ulepszania świata, tworzenia kultury, a także bycia współpracownikiem Boga. Zdolności twórcze człowieka, wynikające zarówno z natury, jak i łaski, miały służyć do osiągnięcia nadczłowieczej doskonałości i zjednoczenia z Bogiem. Michalski przekonywał, że człowiek, będąc obrazem Bożym, ma w sobie coś boskiego, co sprawia, że może być współpracownikiem Boga. Twórczość ludzka, zarówno na płaszczyźnie intelektualnej, artystycznej, jak i społecznej, miała służyć realizacji Boskiej idei człowieka i ludzkości. Michalski podkreślał, że człowiek jest najpotężniejszym narzędziem Bożej Opatrzności na ziemi, a kultura i postęp ludzki mają sens jako realizacja Boskiej idei człowieka.

Impact of Board Structure on IPO : A Theoretical Framework
Authors: Saklani Dr. D.R.
Published: January 2024

The tool for companies to raise money from the general public/to go public is known as an Initial Public Offering, which implies that the company's shares are being offered to the general public for the first time. A substantial amount of research has been conducted in the fields of finance and economics to study IPO performance, valuation, underpricing, grading, and flipping for companies of all sizes (large cap, mid cap, and small cap). The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of the published work on Initial Public Offerings. Despite the pandemic and the economic downturn, the primary capital market has seen tremendous growth. According to SEBI data, there has been an increase in the number of prospectus filings for raising public funds. We examined studies on IPO performance and valuation in the Indian IPO market. The study emphasizes the underperformance issue in the Indian IPO market and its causes, which include financial and behavioral factors such as short-term optimism and flipping, in which allotted shares are sold immediately after the companies are listed. The review demonstrates that, despite short-term underperformance, India has a higher long-term return than other nations. Furthermore, it appears that Hot IPOs are more likely than Cold IPOs to involve profit booking, which occurs right after the stock exchange listing and is more common among institutional investors than retail investors. In general, the review aims to provide an overview of the Indian IPO market, including the IPO procedure, pricing, and trends, as well as the studies conducted in that domain concerning valuation, underpricing, and performance.

Machine Learning Approaches for Predicting Chaotic Behavior in Nonlinear Systems
Authors: Dewangan Omprakash
Published: January 2024

In many domains, including biology, engineering, physics, and finance, the ability to forecast chaotic behavior is of the utmost importance. Predicting nonlinear systems accurately is a critical task due to their intrinsic sensitivity to initial conditions and lack of apparent patterns. One potential way to address this difficulty is by utilizing machine learning techniques. These methods can help us better understand and manage complex systems that display chaotic dynamics. Complex nonlinear systems, with their great dimensionality, temporal interdependence, and sensitivity to initial conditions, make chaotic behavior prediction difficult. The development of sophisticated tools that can detect patterns in chaotic dynamics is often necessary because traditional methods fail to capture these subtleties. The present research presents Chaotic Dynamics Prediction through Deep Ensemble Learning (CDP-DEL), an approach to chaotic dynamics prediction (CDP) that combines deep learning architectures with ensemble learning methodologies. Ensemble learning improves generalizability and reduces overfitting, whereas deep neural networks are made to capture complicated nonlinear interactions. CDP-DEL is an all-inclusive method for predicting chaotic behavior in nonlinear systems since it uses feature engineering, integrates system factors, and handles temporal dependencies. Among the many fields that have found use for CDP-DEL are control systems, ecological research, financial modeling, and weather forecasting. When applied to real-world scenarios with substantial chaotic dynamics repercussions, CDP-DEL's improved prediction capabilities may help optimize decision-making processes. Extensive simulation evaluations are performed utilizing benchmark chaotic systems to validate the efficacy of CDP-DEL. Research comparing CDP-DEL to more conventional methods show that it is more effective at predicting chaotic behavior and overall outperforms the competition.
Nonlinear Dynamics of Neural Networks: Applications in Pattern Recognition
Authors: Rahman F
Published: January 2024

Improvements in pattern recognition systems are best achieved by fully comprehending and utilizing the nonlinear dynamics of neural networks. When dealing with complex, nonlinear patterns in real-world data, a nuanced approach is necessary to fully utilize neural networks' potential. By improving performance, interpretability, and flexibility in complicated pattern recognition tasks, Nonlinear Dynamics method meet this demand. Problems with interpretability, complicated training, and generalization in the presence of noisy data are all aspects of nonlinear dynamics that pose difficulties. These complex patterns are difficult for traditional neural networks to capture and comprehend. In response to these difficulties, Nonlinear Dynamics has been created to offer a comprehensive approach to making good use of nonlinear dynamics in pattern recognition. This research presents a novel method for dealing with problems caused by nonlinear dynamics, called Nonlinear Dynamics-Driven Adaptive Neural Network (ND-ANN). To achieve the sweet spot between model complexity and interpretability, NDANN employs a hybrid learning algorithm (HLA), an explainability module, ensemble integration, regularization for stability, and an adaptive architecture. This novel approach lays the groundwork for future developments in pattern recognition technology and guarantees better performance when capturing complicated patterns. Improved pattern recognition systems made possible by NDANN's accurate modeling of nonlinear dynamics pave the way for new developments in healthcare, information processing, and technology. Validation of NDANN's effectiveness in dealing with nonlinear dynamics issues was achieved through extensive simulation analyses. Precision, accuracy, recall, and F1 score are some of the performance indicators that undergo thorough evaluation across various datasets. The inclusion of nonlinear dynamics in neural networks has the ability to transform pattern recognition, and the simulation results show that NDANN is better than traditional models.

Published: January 2024

Objective: The epidemiology of invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS) in the Philippines is not well elaborated. The present study describes the serotype distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of iNTS in the Philippines from 2014 to 2018. Methods: Invasive NTS isolates were collected through the Department of Health’s Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program (ARSP). The identification of the isolates was confirmed using automated (Vitek®, bioMérieux, Marcy l’Étoile, France) and conventional methods. The isolates were serotyped using the slide agglutination method, and susceptibility testing was performed using Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. Demographic data were collected from the ARSP database. Results: There were 138 isolates collected from human invasive specimens with 97.8% from blood samples. The most common serotypes were Salmonella Enteritidis (n = 84, 60.9%) and Salmonella Typhimurium (n = 18, 13.0%). Most of the isolates were from males (n = 88, 63.8%) and from the 0–5-year age group (n = 61, 44.2%). The proportions of iNTS isolates resistant to first-line antibiotics were as follows: ampicillin (23.2%), chloramphenicol (9.6%), ciprofloxacin (8.7%), ceftriaxone (2.2%) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (8.8%). The proportion of isolates with multi-drug resistance was 13.0% (18/138) with the most common resistance profile being resistance to ampicillin-chloramphenicol-ciprofloxacin from Salmonella Enteritidis isolates (n = 5). Discussion: Resistance to first-line antibiotics limits the therapeutic choices for Salmonella infection. Relevant local antimicrobial resistance data on iNTS may support appropriate empiric therapy among vulnerable populations.

Published: January 2024

Objective: Foodborne disease is a significant global public health concern, with Bacillus cereus being a frequent cause of outbreaks. However, due to the relatively mild symptoms caused by infection with B. cereus, the shorter duration of illness and the challenges of testing for it in both stool and food samples, outbreaks are often underreported. This report describes the epidemiology of cases of foodborne illness, the causative agent and risk factors associated with an outbreak in a boarding school in Seremban district, Negeri Sembilan state, Malaysia, that occurred in November 2021. Methods: Epidemiological, environmental and laboratory investigations were performed. A case was defined as any person with abdominal pain, vomiting or diarrhoea that occurred after consuming food served by the canteen at the school. The data were analysed using Microsoft Excel and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: A total of 152 cases were identified among the 597 students, giving an attack rate of 25.5%. All cases were females aged 13–17 years. They presented with abdominal pain (100%), nausea (97.4%, 148), vomiting (78.3%, 119) or diarrhoea (61.8%, 94), or a combination of these. The mode of transmission of the outbreak was a continual common source. The foods associated with becoming a case were beef rendang (a dry curry) (odds ratio [OR]: 20.54, 95% CI: 4.89–86.30), rice (OR: 19.62, 95% CI: 2.62–147.01), rice cubes (OR: 18.17, 95% CI: 4.31–76.55) and vermicelli (OR: 17.02, 95% CI: 4.03–71.86). Cross-contamination and inadequate thawing and storage temperatures contributed to the outbreak. Discussion: This outbreak of foodborne illness at a boarding school was likely caused by B. cereus. The findings highlight the importance of proper food preparation, temperature monitoring, hygiene practices among food handlers and compliance with food safety guidelines.

Problem: As of 2022, only 49 graduates of the Philippines’ Field Epidemiology Training Programme (FETP) were employed by the Philippine Government, emphasizing the urgent need to increase the number of practicing field epidemiologists to better equip the country for public health emergencies. Context: The FETP–Intermediate Course (IC) curriculum is based mainly on the module of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that was incorporated into the Philippine context. It consists of five 1–2-week lecture series that provide participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to conduct job-relevant field projects. Individual projects are the centrepiece of the FETP–IC ,requiring trainees to investigate outbreaks, design and develop protocols, conduct field data collection, manage data, analyse data, interpret data, write reports and deliver oral presentations. Action: To address the shortage of practicing field epidemiologists in the Philippines, a subnational initiative in Northern Luzon was implemented. Outcome: Within 3 years, the two FETP–IC subnational training programmes have produced 42 applied epidemiologists who will strengthen epidemiology and surveillance in their respective localities. As of February 2023, 92 studies have been conducted, including 39 outbreak investigations, 37 data quality analysis/process improvement projects, 10 epidemiological studies and six surveillance evaluations. Discussion: By training and deploying skilled epidemiologists to local health offices and hospitals, the programme is helping to improve the capacity of the health system to respond to public health threats and protect the health of the population. The programme’s emphasis on practical training and real-world experience is an effective way to build a strong and sustainable epidemiological workforce.
Lontra longicaudis as an environmental bioindicator
Authors: Carvalho Junior Oldemar de Oliveira
Published: January 2024

Some authors have identified the Lontra longicaudis as an indicator of environmental quality, either due to its presence or absence in aquatic environments, being associated with the availability of prey and water quality. In order to address the issue at hand, this study examines the utilization of calculating the distribution of the intensity of the species' presence, in conjunction with emergy calculations and energy transformation in biodiversity and ecological compartments of the Caconde UHE system, to monitor the well-being of ecosystems. The findings demonstrate a consistent pattern of interannual and monthly presence of the otter in relation to the system. Lontra longicaudis, as a bioindicator for monitoring environmental health, becomes even more efficient if it is integrated into the analysis of emergy and transformity, allowing the quantification of energetic convergence between ecosystem processes and products. The utilization of bioindicator species located at the top of the trophic chain, such as lontra neotropical, holds significant importance in establishing restoration strategies for ecosystems.
SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC ESTIMATION OF NERATINIB PHARMACEUTICALS: APPLICATIONS TO CHEMOMETRICS SUPPORTED ROBUSTNESS TESTING AND METHOD GREENNESS ASSESSMENT

Published: January 2024

Neratinib is a novel anti-breast cancer agent approved for treating the early stages of breast cancer in women. Based on the non-availability of methods, the authors developed two UV spectrophotometric methods using water as a solvent. The drug shows a maximum absorption of 263 nm in water. Further, the measurement of the area under the curve within 259-269 nm was also performed. Method linearity from 2 to 64 µg mL-1 (for both methods) aptly quantified the drug from the in-house dosage form. Chemometrics-oriented designed experiments revealed the effect of method variables such as sampling interval and scanning speed on method performance and help to define control strategies. The assay results were within the acceptable range, reproducible (%RSD < 1 %), and rugged. Overall, these two UV spectrophotometric methods served the purpose of simple and rapid quality control of NRB present in tablet dosage forms.

Decision-making and role responsibility
Authors: Basile Marta , De Felice Deborah
Published: January 2024

Questo contributo presenta i risultati di un’indagine esplorativa comparativa tra Italia e Polonia riguardo al principio del superiore interesse del minore e alle responsabilità decisionali ad esso annesse.

La metodologia adottata segue una logica ricostruttiva. Attraverso l’analisi testuale di alcune sentenze polacche e italiane e di alcune interviste somministrate a professionisti dei rispettivi paesi, è stato considerato il processo che dalla definizione teorica del superiore interesse del minore transita verso una sua concreta declinazione, quale è l’avvio di un programma mirato per la sua tutela.

Il contributo mira a esaminare le prassi di implementazione sulla tutela dei diritti dei minori nei due Paesi considerando la loro adattabilità e variabilità in risposta ai diversi contesti politici e socioeconomici. Le differenze tra Italia e Polonia sottolineano la complessità delle sfide legate alla tutela dei diritti dei minori in contesti giuridici e culturali diversi.
The Livable and the Unlivable
Authors: Butler Judith , Worms Frédéric
Published: January 2024

This chapter uses the interview with Frédéric Worms and Judith Butler to explore the preliminary question of what is the unlivable, defining it as that which one cannot live in or live through. It confirms whether being unlivable is merely survival or does a life need to be more than survival to be truly livable. It also highlights where the threshold lies between the livable and the unlivable and what are the sociopolitical implications of this distinction. The chapter reviews the difference between viability that is essentially purely biological and livability, which is a notion that cannot be reduced to a strictly biological level. It looks at the criterion that distinguishes between the livable and the unlivable and emphasizes the importance of being able to define such a criterion as everyone has claims about the unlivability of a particular experience or life.
Introduction: Topothesia
Authors: Vijay Ameeth
Published: January 2024

The introduction lays out the key concepts and archives of the book. It shows how 20th- and 21st-century planning discourse can be read as a form of speculative fiction, arguing that doing so foregrounds its aesthetic impulses and enables planning to be juxtaposed with literature and film. Planning imagines concrete futures: places and times that are elsewhere and yet realizable. These fictions of place are the focus of this book, more so than the varied technical methods that emerged to administer cities. The book reads the proliferation of planning theory, documents, advertising, etc., as themselves concretizations of political futurity—that is, as ways of understanding what places should be, for whom they should be for, and what they should look like. Planning-as-literature deemphasizes narrative control, including assumptions of top-down intentionality, while remaining attentive to what its speculative ideas foreclose in their pursuit of a particular future. At stake is the reproduction of community and identity: the way these can be managed and controlled but also how they can be imagined, formed through affect, and marked by multiple forms of relationality, some incompletely hegemonic, others haltingly gestural and directed to a not (yet) present “otherwise.”
Love and Terror
Authors: Franklin Cynthia G.
Published: January 2024

This chapter focuses on two life writing texts that address Hurricane Katrina and the intersections of this unnatural disaster with the War on Terror, antiblack racism, Islamophobia, climate catastrophe, governmental incompetence, and disaster capitalism. Through analysis of Dave Eggers’s biographical narrative Zeitoun (2009) and Carl Deal and Tia Lessin’s documentary Trouble the Water (2008), this chapter explores linkages among processes of dehumanization at work during Katrina and its aftermath that pertain to race, religion, gender, class, and nation. It also considers possibilities and limitations of countering these interconnected forms of dehumanization by engaging the formulas of narrative humanity that normalize them. Its analysis of Eggers’s celebrated book looks to how his reliance on textbook articulations of the marriage plot, the self-made man narrative, the narrative of conquest/discovery, and the immigrant success story implicate Eggers in forms of Islamophobia and imperialism that he sets out to counter, as these narratives also sustain dominant (neo)liberal formulations of heteronormativity, multiculturalism, settlerism, and racial capitalism. The chapter then turns to Trouble the Water and the ways it riffs off the slave narrative to consider how narrative humanity, if employed in more unruly ways, can trouble and transform the logics that define the human.
Criminals and Kinship
Authors: Franklin Cynthia G.
Published: January 2024

This chapter analyzes how the narrative humanity in Ryan Coogler’s 2014 Fruitvale Station and Ta-nehisi Coates’s 2015 Between the World and Me contributes to and departs from BLM and its concerns with self-making, kinship, and criminality. The chapter considers how Fruitvale Station, a catalyst for BLM, complements the movement’s aims. As Fruitvale Station dwells on Oscar Grant’s final hours as a struggling young father and son, before a BART police officer kills him, through reworking narratives of self-help, family, and criminality, the film reaches a broad audience and conveys that Grant’s ordinary life matters. Hailed as a BLM anthem, BTWAM also contests the racist system that criminalizes and renders Black life disposable. At the same time, this memoir upholds familiar forms of masculine individualism and liberal humanism. This chapter contends that even as BTWAM’s competing beliefs in a distinctly literary humanism and a world defined by anti-Black necropolitics resonate with BLM, BTWAM diminishes BLM’s grounding in collective organizing and solidarity, and its investments in transformative justice. BTWAM thus illuminates the challenges of using literary humanism to denounce an antiblackness that its logics reproduce, and the incompatibilities that exist between BLM and intersectional movement politics, Afro-pessimism, and narrative humanity.
From Movement to Memoir
Authors: Franklin Cynthia G.
Published: January 2024

This chapter continues the focus on BLM narratives, while transitioning to an investigation of narrated humanity. In When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Movement (2017), BLM cofounder Patrisse Cullors and coauthor asha bandele overturn antiblack representations of terror and dehumanization that are features of narrative humanity and white supremacy. Instead, they partake in the collective life story and life-giving aims of BLM. At the memoir’s center is a queer, Black, feminist account of love, kinship, and community. As Cullors and bandele put their loved ones at the center of their address, they give a sustained narrative form to the focus, tropes, turns of phrase, conventions, and storylines that animate BLM. Rather than “prove” that Black lives matter, this memoir takes that mattering as a starting point in narrating into being a better world that pre-dates centuries of racism, while also drawing on BLM to envision an abolitionist future that is queer, feminist, and rooted in communities of care. Their memoir thus demonstrates the possibilities of narratives that grow out of, and help to imagine and materialize, movement politics.
