Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Macedo Hernández Candelario , Ramírez Barragán Lorena Alejandra , Sánchez Equihua Verónica , Cabrera Robles Isis Guadalupe
Published: October 2024

Los capítulos que se presentan en esta obra emanan de la colaboración de los integrantes y colaboradora del cuerpo académico UDG-CA-693 Perspectivas de la Ciudad. Esta entrega forma parte de la línea general de investigación “Perspectivas de la ciudad desde la interrelación entre Cultura, Calidad de Vida e Identidad”; donde se realiza un análisis sobre la habitabilidad y se describen procesos que inviten a reflexionar sobre los aspectos que intervienen en el amplio concepto de la sostenibilidad, –desde la perspectiva de la arquitectura, el diseño y la administración–; con el objetivo de promover el desarrollo integral de cada uno de los individuos y de la sociedad en general. La habitabilidad sostenible emerge como un concepto holístico y complejo, que bien se adapta en una comprensión concreta de la vivienda de carácter social, y que a su vez se extiende hacia el diseño, la sociedad, la economía y el turismo. Al reflexionar las ideas presentadas en la presente obra y al explorar sus múltiples dimensiones, la habitabilidad sostenible es un objetivo valioso que, tomando como base los elementos que la conforman, puede ser una guía para el desarrollo de la sociedad al lograr un futuro más equitativo, saludable y amigable con el entorno.

Authors: Spinnoy Rozina , Rodela Romina , Mofokeng Tiisetso , Sarmast  Atousa
Published: October 2024

Public spaces, such as squares, urban parks, and communal areas are arenas that reflect societal values and power structures, influencing who has access and how they engage with these spaces. This viewpoint explores the application of intersectionality—considering factors like gender, race, and socioeconomic status—in understanding how diverse identities shape the lived experience of young people in public spaces. More specifically, it focuses on girls, and it reflects on the intersectional challenges girls face in four different contexts to include Belgium, South Africa, Iran, and Sweden. The analysis reveals the complexities of safety, accessibility, and inclusion girls face across all cases. This viewpoint underscores the value in using an intersectional lens in designing inclusive public spaces and highlights the pivotal role of young people as advocates for change.
Additive Manufacturing from Biomimetic Approach
Authors: Takács Ágnes , Albert Judit
Published: October 2024

During the past millions of years since the beginning of our world, nature has created structures that are resistant to the various effects of the environment. However, these natural structures are quite complicated, so their production and artificial reproducibility with the tools of traditional manufacturing technology is a very difficult task. However, even complex structures can be produced relatively easily with the help of additive manufacturing. Using topological optimization techniques, lattice structure models with excellent mechanical characteristics can be created, which can be easily manufactured by exploiting the advantages of additive manufacturing. Applying natural structures (biomimetic approach) during topological optimization and produce the solution by additive manufacturing, light and high-strength structural alternatives can be created, any further structural analyses can be done.

Construction of the Contact Zone of a Helical Cylindrical External Gear Pair with Straight Top Land Meridians
Authors: Drágár Zsuzsa
Published: October 2024

The study deals with the construction of the contact zone of helical cylindrical external gears. The shape and size of the contact zone determine the phenomena that occur even in the case of error-free tooth design, installation error exemption and load-induced error exemption Such a phenomenon is the vibration excitation resulting from the connection, which also affects the identification of the drive elements. It is possible to deviate from the regular rectangular shape of the contact zone by modifying the top land surfaces. The change can mean a combination of the change in the total length of the contacting generating lines and the change in the contact ratio. This study deals with the construction of the generalized contact zone.

The New City Megaproject's Issues: Network Discourse Analysis of the Development of the Pros and Cons of the Archipelago's Determination and Capital Development (IKN)
Authors: Nur Iman Subono  , Eriyanto
Published: October 2024

President Jokowi signed Law Number 3/2022 on February 15, 2022, which declared Nusantara as the name of the new capital city, which is known in Indonesia by its abbreviation, IKN (Ibu Kota Nusantara). Since the passage of the law, both supporters and opponents of the decision have raised their voices in public places. IKN will replace Jakarta, which has existed as the capital of Indonesia since 1945. In the midst of concerns and issues regarding democratic regression, oligarchic dominance, the displacement of indigenous peoples, the COVID-19 pandemic, and forecasts of a global recession, these pro and con voices are becoming more and more abrasive. The paper attempts to discuss the debate between proponents and opponents of IKN's determination and development. Discourse can be interpreted in this context as a set of concepts or ideas that are communicated by actors in order to influence public policy. The research mixes discourse analysis (qualitative content) with social networking techniques by applying the discourse network method (DNA) analysis. The idea of discourse coalition adds depth to the DNA approach by mapping every discourse that emerges about an issue (what), as well as the players who express the discourse (who) related to the issues and actors who are pro and contra to the IKN.

Published: October 2024

This study aimed to examine how gadget addiction affects the reading skills of Grade One learners. The study population consisted of Grade One learners aged 6 to 8, with 42% being female and 58% male. An analysis of the parents' educational attainment showed that 2% of the mothers had master’s units, while 18% of the mothers and 8% of the fathers were college graduates. Additionally, 16% of the mothers and 24% of the fathers had some college education, and 58% of the mothers and 40% of the fathers were high school graduates. Regarding family size, 50% of the learners had 1-2 siblings, and 38% had 3-4 siblings, while 58% of the families had a combined monthly income of ₱10,000 or below. The study found that the learners exhibited a moderate level of gadget addiction. In terms of reading skills, 78% of the learners were classified as outstanding, 16% as very satisfactory, 25% as satisfactory, and only 4% as poor. A statistical analysis of the relationship between gadget addiction and reading skills revealed a negligible negative correlation, with a value of -0.066, indicating that increased gadget use had a minimal impact on reading proficiency. The results suggest that while gadget addiction exists, it does not significantly hinder the reading development of Grade One learners, but continued monitoring and interventions are recommended.
THE ODD LOMAX TOPP LEONE DISTRIBUTION: PROPERTIES AND APPLICATION
Authors: Edeme Chukwuma Percy , Okwonu F. Z.
Published: October 2024

Lifetime distributions are parametric models used in statistical analyses of time-to-event data. Several probability distributions have been very used in literature to model lifetime data sets which have been useful in the analysis of lifetime data, but in most cases, they are not flexible enough to analyze some complex lifetime data in practice. Due to the importance of these lifetime distributions in modeling real lifetime data, there has several modifications and generalization of lifetime distributions, particularly the Lomax distribution to develop more flexible distributions to address the drawback presented by some classical lifetime distributions including the Lomax distribution. Several attempts have been made by researchers to generalize classical lifetime distributions which offer more flexibility in modeling lifetime data. Our interest in this study is to introduce a new extension of Lomax distribution called the “The odd lomax Topp-Leone distribution” which is bounded on a unit interval data such that its flexibility can accommodate increasing, decreasing, right skewed, left skewed, symmetric and u-shaped data sets. An application to a real lifetime data set clearly shows that the proposed extension of the Lomax distribution is a better alternative to some existing distributions bounded on a unit interval.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the significant global health challenges, especially in resource-limited countries. Adherence to TB treatment is key to successful therapy and preventing the emergence of drug resistance. However, dropout rates or discontinuation of treatment before completion remains a major problem that needs to be addressed. This study aims to analyze global trends in research focusing on factors affecting TB treatment adherence and dropout through a bibliometric approach. Using the Publish or Perish application, relevant scientific articles with keywords such as treatment adherence, tuberculosis, treatment dropout, and influencing factors were searched from 2017 to 2024. A total of 50 articles from Google Scholar were further analyzed to identify by publication year, country, publisher, citation, and article type. The data was then processed using VOSviewer to visualize the relationship between keywords and research trends through Network Visualization, Overlay Visualization, and Density Visualization. The results of the analysis showed that Indonesia is the country with the highest number of publications, demonstrating a great commitment in addressing the TB challenge. Articles published in reputable journals, especially those adopting systematic and meta-analysis approaches, show great impact with a high number of citations. Bibliometric visualizations reveal that the focus of research lies on factors such as treatment, adherence, health workers, and access. In addition, family and community support was also found to be an important element in ensuring treatment adherence. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive and collaborative approach in improving TB treatment adherence and preventing dropouts. Further research in this area is needed to address existing gaps and develop more effective strategies in the fight against TB. Keywords: Treatment Adherence, Tuberculosis, Dropout, Influencing Factors, Health Worker

What does the future hold for green libraries: The partners’ experience
Authors:   Russian National Public Library for Science and Technology, Klimova Maria A.
Published: October 2024

The ecological education in its many forms has become a vector of library activities. The interested libraries often characterize themselves as “the green libraries”, however, the Russian professional community lacks the definition of this term or other terms related to the “green librarianship”. The Russian-language publications either ignore the problem of terminology or use the definitions and concepts as formulated by foreign colleagues. The project was developed in Russia to introduce the “green” characteristics to be assessed. Unfortunately, it was focused on limited audience of Moscow city children's libraries, and its criteria have not been updated since 2013 and do not fit in the current library trends. In 2024, the RNPLS&T has been pursuing the study to assess the prospects for the library ecological movement. The study is to reveal the features of the green libraries, as the interested professionals see them, and possibly to develop the relevant standard for Russian green libraries.

A deconstruction of methods to derive one-point lensing statistics
Authors: Alfradique Viviane , Castro Tiago , Marra Valerio , Quartin Miguel , Giocoli Carlo , Monaco Pierluigi
Published: October 2024

Gravitational lensing is a crucial tool for exploring cosmic phenomena, providing insights into galaxy clustering, dark matter, and dark energy. Given the substantial computational demands of N-body simulations, approximate methods like 𝙿𝙸𝙽𝙾𝙲𝙲𝙷𝙸𝙾 and 𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚋𝚘𝙶𝙻 have been proposed as viable alternatives for simulating lensing probability density functions (PDFs). This paper evaluates these methods and their effectiveness across both weak and strong lensing regimes, with a focus in the context where baryonic effects are negligible. Our comparative analysis reveals that these methods are effective for applications where lensing is mild, such as the majority of sources of electromagnetic and gravitational waves. However, both 𝙿𝙸𝙽𝙾𝙲𝙲𝙷𝙸𝙾 and 𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚋𝚘𝙶𝙻 break down for large values of convergence and magnification due to their loss of accuracy in capturing small-scale nonlinear matter fields, owing to oversimplified assumptions about internal halo structures and reliance on perturbation theory. 𝙿𝙸𝙽𝙾𝙲𝙲𝙷𝙸𝙾 yields second-to-fourth moments of the lensing PDFs, which are 6–10% smaller than those resulting from N-body simulations in regimes where baryonic effects are minimal. These findings aim to inform future studies on gravitational lensing of point sources, which are increasingly relevant with upcoming supernova and gravitational wave datasets.

Published: October 2024

A type of climate variation in the Pacific Ocean known as El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is defined by an increase in sea surface temperature (SST) in the Central and Eastern equatorial areas, which affects the amount of rainfall that falls and increases. In Indonesia, the rainy season typically persists from October to March, whereas the dry season persists from April to September.  Research on the influence of ENSO on rainfall has been carried out in several areas, but has not been carried out in the Tangerang area. This study aims to ascertain how the ENSO phenomena affect rainfall fluctuations and cloud distribution in the Regency of Tangerang. The secondary data, which includes information on rainfall, cloud cover, wind direction, and speed, was acquired from BMKG Meteorology Budiarto. In addition, data from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) website's Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) was used. Surface weather analysis and Pearson correlation analysis are the data analysis techniques used. The results presented that based on surface weather study, ENSO events had a consequence on cloud distribution in Tangerang Regency. The clouds lead when the ENSO phenomenon occurs, namely Cumulus and Nimbostratus clouds with a 4-8 octa cloud cover. Meanwhile, the correlation test results show that ENSO influences seasonal and annual rainfall variations in the district of Tangerang.  The largest correlation between SOI and annual rainfall occurred in 2015 with a correlation value of r-0.84 (very strong). Meanwhile, the greatest correlation between SOI and seasonal rainfall occurred in July-September with a correlation value of r=0.67 (strong).

We aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the (The Prostate Cancer Risk Assessment) CAPRA score used to predict this situation in our study. Material and Methods: The study included 348 patients who underwent Radical Prostatectony (RP) for localized PCa. Demographic, preoperative and postoperative data were collected. CAPRA score based on preoperative total PSA value, Gleason Score, clinical T stage, percentage of positive biopsy cores and age was calculated using these data. BCR was defined as a total PSA value >0.2 ng/dL for two consecutive times after RP. Follow-up periods, recurrence status and time of recurrence were recorded. Results: BCR positivity was detected in 60 (17.2%) of 348 patients. In univariate analyses, PSA level, lesion volume on MRI, ISUP grade, D’Amico risk classification, Seminal vesicule invasion (SVI) and CAPRA score were statistically significant in the groups. In multivariate analyses, PSA level, Neutrophile Lymphocyte Ratio, lesion dimension, intermediate risk according to D’amico classification, Extraprostatic extension (EPE) showed differences between both groups. The probability of biochemical progression-free in CAPRA risk groups shows a significant decrease in the probability of biochemical progression-free in the long term as risk increases in CAPRA risk groups: 91.4% in the low-risk group, 77.8% in the intermediate-risk group and only 61.7% in the high-risk group at 80-month follow-up. Conclusion: CAPRA scoring system should be supported by MpMRI findings and a new nomogram should be developed with these findings.

The appraisal framework serves as the methodology to evaluate language in news articles, revealing journalists' and news media outlets’ nuanced expressions of attitudes, emotions, and engagement in their reporting. This study embarks on an exploration of the appraisal framework within a selection of four news articles from The Jakarta Post, each addressing the pervasive issue of tin case corruption, resulting in a staggering loss of 271 trillion Rupiah for Indonesia. This study employs a qualitative descriptive design, utilizing Martin and White's (2005) appraisal analysis framework within Systemic Functional Linguistics.  The appraisal theory is applied to examine the news outlet's language in reporting on corruption cases. The findings suggest a predominant utilization of heterogloss (30%) and judgement (25%) which indicates a multifaceted approach characterized by the incorporation of diverse viewpoints and critical evaluations towards the corruption unfolding in the tin case. Notably, monogloss (17.5%) and graduation (17.5%) also feature prominently, reflecting a balanced discourse that encompasses both singular perspectives and nuanced expressions of intensity. Additionally, the usage of appreciation (5%) and focus (5%) is comparatively minimal, suggesting a lesser emphasis on acknowledging positive actions or delineating specific aspects within the coverage. This research illuminates the relationship between journalistic language and public perceptions of corruption, highlighting the need for critical evaluation of media coverage to promote informed discourse and enhance anti-corruption efforts.
The effect of internal and external visualization of rotation on postural stability

Introduction

During mental rotation tasks, it is assumed that participants visualize a rotation of objects in their minds (internal visualization), but mental rotation has also been linked to the visible rotation of objects on a screen (external visualization). The angular disparity in mental rotation also influences postural sway, the movements of the body center. Postural sway is thus suspected as one type of indirect measurement of the rotation process. We compare the external visualization of rotation with the suspected internal visualization during mental rotation tasks. We suspect both are similar and thus produce a comparable effect on postural sway.

Methods

One hundred and fifty participants completed three rotation tasks with cube figures, two of which were aided by external visualization. Their center of pressure was measured throughout. The effects of external visualization, angular disparity, and their interaction on postural sway were compared using Bayesian statistics and a decision boundary of 3 or 1/3.

Results and discussion

The results indicate no differences between conditions for all postural sway parameters. We observe differences between conditions in cognitive load and reaction time. However, as these partially also differ between the two external visualization conditions and do not transfer to differences between the postural sway parameters, the underlying processes in the three conditions are likely similar. Our results support the notion that the visualization of rotation is central to postural sway during mental rotation. This further supports that the rotation process of the external visualization and mental rotation are similar and thus that stimuli are indeed rotated mentally during mental rotation tasks. Our results further support that the common process between mental and manual rotation lies in the visualization instead of mental rotation being an imagined motor action. Because visual control and feedback play an essential role in many motor tasks, the results could also be of further interest for a more general link between motor and cognitive tasks and bidirectional benefits through the construction of visual similarities.

The illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global crime economies, directly threatening species and their habitats, and biodiversity, and indirectly the global climate, and countries’ economies. Syndicates operating within the IWT are often involved in trafficking of humans, weapons, and drugs. IWT takes place in large scale through international ports, with wildlife being smuggled inside shipping containers. Current methods to combat IWT and screen these shipping containers, such as X-ray scans, are expensive and time-consuming. Scent-detection animals present an innovative approach to combatting IWT, as animals may be better suited to distinguish between organic materials and less susceptible to visual concealment methods. Previous scent-detection work has largely focused on conservation dogs (Canis lupus familiaris). Here, we present a series of proof-of-principle studies training African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys ansorgei) to detect illegally trafficked wildlife. As initial proof-of-principle within a controlled laboratory environment, we trained rats (n=11) to detect the scent of pangolin scales (Manis spp.) and a threatened African hardwood (Dalbergia melanoxylon). In subsequent experiments, we trained these rats (n=10) to detect rhinoceros horn (family Rhinocerotidae), and elephant tusks (Loxodonta spp.). At the conclusion of these studies, rats (n=7) accurately identified all four target species (although ivory samples may have been cross-contaminated, and results should be interpreted with caution) while correctly rejecting non-target items commonly used by traffickers to conceal the presence of illicit material. Rats detected the presence of wildlife targets even when these were concealed in mixtures among non-target items. These results provide the foundation to train rats for scent-detection of illegally trafficked wildlife to combat IWT. The unique attributes of rats could allow them to complement existing screening technologies in the fight against IWT. Rats have low training and maintenance costs, flexibly work with multiple handlers, have a long lifespan, and a sophisticated sense of smell. Their small size also offers unique capabilities for the screening of shipping containers, such as being able to navigate densely packed areas or be lifted to assess contents of sealed containers by screening ventilation systems. Future directions include assessing operational feasibility of deploying rats at ports.

Friction stir welding (FSW) offers significant advantages over fusion welding, particularly for high-strength alloys like Inconel 718. However, achieving optimal surface quality in Inconel 718 FSW remains challenging due to its sensitivity to temperature fluctuations during welding. This study integrates finite element simulations, statistical analysis, and advanced control methodologies to enhance weld surface quality through adequate thermal management. High-fidelity simulations of the FSW process were conducted using a validated 3D transient COMSOL Multiphysics model, producing a comprehensive dataset correlating process parameters (rotational speed, axial force, and welding speed) with workpiece temperature. This dataset facilitated statistical analysis and parameter optimization through Analysis of variance (ANOVA) method, leading to a deeper understanding of process variables. A nonlinear state-space system model was subsequently developed using experimental data and the system identification toolbox in Matlab, incorporating domain-specific insights. This model was rigorously validated with an independent dataset to ensure predictive accuracy. Utilizing the validated model, tailored control strategies, including proportional-integral-derivative (PID) and model predictive control (MPC) in both single and multivariable configurations, were designed and evaluated. These control strategies excelled in maintaining welding temperatures within optimal ranges, demonstrating robustness in response times and disturbance handling. This precision in thermal management is poised to significantly refine the FSW process, enhancing both surface integrity and microstructural uniformity. The strategic implementation of these controls is anticipated to substantially improve the quality and consistency of welding outcomes.
