Extended performance of cognitively demanding tasks induces cognitive fatigue manifested with an overall deterioration of behavioral performance. In particular, long practice with tasks requiring impulse control is typically followed by a decrease in self-control efficiency, leading to performance instability. Here, we show that this is due to changes in activation modalities of key task-related areas occurring if these areas previously underwent intensive use. We investigated in 25 healthy adults the effects of extended practice with high cognitive demand (HCD) tasks on a Go-No Go task and the underlying electroencephalographic (EEG) activity. We compared these effects with those induced by practice with similar, but low cognitive demand (LCD) tasks. HCD tasks were followed by an increase in response inhibition failures. These were correlated with the appearance of a distinct neural signature on fast response trials, characterized by lower levels of beta ([13–30] Hz) EEG activity in the prestimulus period, and by a lack of EEG markers of preresponse processing in frontal areas. Moreover, HCD tasks were followed by a decrease in N200 during correct withholds while LCD tasks were followed instead by a lesser fraction of hits and a decrease in P300, suggesting a decrease in engagement. Overall, these results show that exertion of cognitive control determines the appearance of two distinct modalities of response with different processing speeds, associated with distinct underlying neural activity.
Spatial Heterogeneity in Myelin Sheathing Impacts Signaling Reliability and Susceptibility to Injury
Authors: Talidou Afroditi , Lefebvre Jérémie
Published: January 2025

Axons in the mammalian brain show significant diversity in myelination motifs, displaying spatial heterogeneity in sheathing along individual axons and across brain regions. However, its impact on neural signaling and susceptibility to injury remains poorly understood. To address this, we leveraged cable theory and developed model axons replicating the myelin sheath distributions observed experimentally in different regions of the mouse central nervous system. We examined how the spatial arrangement of myelin affects propagation and predisposition to conduction failure in axons with cortical versus callosal myelination motifs. Our results indicate that regional differences in myelination significantly influence conduction timing and signaling reliability. Sensitivity of action potential propagation to the specific positioning, lengths, and ordering of myelinated and exposed segments reveals non-linear and path-dependent conduction. Furthermore, myelination motifs impact signaling vulnerability to demyelination, with callosal motifs being particularly sensitive to myelin changes. These findings highlight the crucial role of myelinating glia in brain function and disease.
Prioritizing working memory resources depends on prefrontal cortex
Authors: Hallenbeck Grace E. , Tardiff Nathan , Sprague Thomas C. , Curtis Clayton E.
Published: January 2025

How the prefrontal cortex contributes to working memory remains controversial, as theories differ in their emphasis on its role in storing memories versus controlling their content. To adjudicate between these competing ideas, we tested how perturbations to the human (both sexes) lateral prefrontal cortex impact the storage and control aspects of working memory during a task that requires human subjects to allocate resources to memory items based on their behavioral priority. Our computational model made a strong prediction that disruption of this control process would counterintuitively improve memory for low-priority items. Remarkably, transcranial magnetic stimulation of retinotopically-defined superior precentral sulcus, but not intraparietal sulcus, unbalanced the prioritization of resources, improving memory for low-priority items as predicted by the model. Therefore, these results provide direct causal support for models in which the prefrontal cortex controls the allocation of resources that support working memory, rather than simply storing the features of memoranda.

Significance statementAlthough higher-order cognition depends on working memory, the resources that support our memory are severely limited in capacity. To mitigate this limitation, we allocate memory resources according to the behavioral relevance of items. Nonetheless, the neural basis of these abilities remains unclear. Here, we tested the hypothesis that a region in lateral prefrontal cortex controls prioritization in working memory. Indeed, perturbing this region with transcranial magnetic stimulation disrupted the prioritization of working memory resources. Our results provide causal evidence for the hypothesis that prefrontal cortex primarily controls the allocation of memory resources, rather than storing the contents of working memory.

Numeracy, representing the ability to understand and process information related to probabilities and numbers, is crucial for accurate decision making. This study evaluates the replicability of eleven effects that underscore the pivotal role of numeracy in judgment and decision making, with successful replication defined as a statistically significant effect in the same direction as reported in the original study. Furthermore, the study explores the potential impact of employing diverse objective numeracy measures on the replicability of the tested effects. Additionally, we investigated correlations with various numeric competencies beyond objective numeracy, including subjective numeracy and approximate numeracy. We ran an online study on Polish-speaking Prolific users (N = 209). Six correlational effects were successfully replicated using the same numeracy measures as the original studies (decision rules, financial knowledge, consistency in risk perception, medical risk comprehension, maximizing the expected value, and preference for suboptimal options). Another two correlational effects were replicated using subjective instead of objective numeracy measures (resistance to sunk cost and financial well-being). Findings regarding the role of numeracy as a moderator variable were mixed. Numeracy was not a statistically significant moderator of the strength of the framing effect, the attractiveness ratings of bets, and performance in the diagnostic inference task. Nevertheless, our exploratory analyses revealed that individuals with higher numeracy found the loss bet more attractive compared to the no-loss bet. Additionally, visual aids improved diagnostic inferences among participants with lower objective numeracy. This comprehensive examination provides valuable insights into the multifaceted interplay between numeracy and decision-making processes.

Central European Elements in the Central Adriatic and its Hinterland in the Early Bronze Age – a Recapitulation
Authors: Teržan Biba , Kruh Ana
Published: January 2025

Research has shown a complementary image of three main elements as indications of contacts between the region of the central Adriatic and its hinterland with the cultures of the Early Bronze Age in Central Europe. They encompass the settlement material culture (Litzen pottery), military equipment or weapons (solid-hilted daggers), and attire (pins with an eyelet). On the basis of their typological analysis and distribution, which showed that they overlap each other spatially and temporally in certain segments, it can be concluded that within the framework of the Posuška/Posušje or Dinaric group, they are indicators of one and the same cultural and possibly migratory event occurring during the Early Bronze Age.

Published: January 2025

Inquiry skills are essential for prospective physics teachers. Inquiry skills are a necessary in the educational curriculum because they can help students construct scientific knowledge and skills, essential activities in science learning. This research aims to validate the scientific inquiry skills test used to evaluate the scientific inquiry skills of prospective physics teachers. This research used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional survey design. The adapted inquiry skills test questions consisted of 35 items covering nine aspects of inquiry skills. The participants in this research were 168 prospective physics teachers who were chosen randomly and came from educational institutions on the islands of Indonesia. The results show that the adapted inquiry skills test meets the validity and reliability criteria based on Rasch parameters. On average, students' skills are still low in answering inquiry skills test questions. Analysis of differential item function reveals that the inquiry skills test items contain minimal biases based on university category and gender but are slightly larger based on semester level. The inquiry skills scores of students in semesters II, IV, and VI were not significantly different. The inquiry skills scores of male students are significantly different from the inquiry skills scores of female students. The adapted inquiry skills test instrument has met the criteria of validity, reliability, and slight bias based on university category and gender. A small number of test items need to be corrected so they are not biased based on the student's semester level. The evaluation results show that male students show better inquiry skills than female students. Reorganization is needed in planning and implementing learning strategies that can facilitate the inquiry skills of prospective physics teachers.

Developing students' entrepreneurial creativity is essential to taking advantage of opportunities in new economic areas. The integration of biopreneurship in project-based learning offers an exciting solution. The impact of that learning model is measured by comparing pre- and post-intervention capabilities between groups that received and did not receive treatment. This study aims to determine the impact of biopreneurship project-based science learning on students' entrepreneurial creativity in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone. This research is quasi-experimental type, with a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The population of this study was junior high school students in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone. One hundred ninth-grade students from two schools were selected as research samples using a purposive technique. Students from each school were grouped into experimental and control classes. The experimental class applied biopreneurship project-based learning, while the control class implemented conventional science learning using lecture and discussion methods. Data was collected using entrepreneurial creativity tests, interviews, and questionnaires. Data analysis consisted of prerequisite tests (normality and homogeneity tests) and research hypothesis tests (t-test and Mann-Whitney test). Experimental class students had a significantly higher average entrepreneurial creativity than the control class students. This study concludes that biopreneurship project-based science learning significantly impacts students' entrepreneurial creativity.
The Duality of Administrative and Communicative Powers in Legislative Drafting: Evidence from East Java
Authors: Bagijo Himawan Estu , Siboy Ahmad , Al-Fatih Sholahuddin , Affan Mohammad
Published: January 2025

The classical legal concept within executive and legislative scopes is no longer adequate to help understand the strategic measures taken by the Provincial Government of East Java and the potential of communicative actions of the DPRD of the Province of East Java. The making of autonomous regulations tends to be exclusive and overlooks the involvement of the public as the origin from which the procedures of legislative drafting began. The legal thought introduced by Habermas came as a solution to legislation-related issues, but it seems to be accepted only by the dialogue between legislators and the executive body. This article aims at analyzing the interaction that takes place between discourse theory and the duality of administrative and communicative powers by Habermas relating to the strategic measures taken by the Provincial Government of East Java. A normative-juridical method was used, involving the literature study of legal concepts and the data revealing the performance of the Legal Bureau of the Provincial Government of East Jav a. Communicative measures exist in the construction of autonomous regulations while facilitating measures and evaluations of autonomous regulations set by the regency or municipality represent a strategic example.
Effects of Biology Learning Models on Metacognitive Skills of Senior High School Students
Authors: Ilham Majid  , Roswita M Aboe  , Anissa Novita Sari
Published: January 2025

The main problem in this study is that many students still rely on memorisation without understanding the concepts deeply, so their ability to plan, monitor and evaluate learning is less developed. In addition, conventional learning models that are often applied in schools tend to provide less opportunity for students to develop metacognitive skills optimally. Therefore, innovation is needed in learning models that can encourage students to think critically and reflect on their learning process. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of STAD, guided inquiry, and combined STAD and guided inquiry learning models on the metacognitive skills of high school students in Ternate, Indonesia. The research used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of 92 active students in the even semester, selected through purposive sampling. In addition, metacognitive skills were measured using rubrics integrated with test questions. The results showed that the STAD learning model, guided inquiry and a combination of STAD and guided inquiry learning models can improve students' metacognitive skills with a value of Fhitung = 9.317.  In addition, the use of STAD learning model, guided inquiry, and the combination of both models showed better metacognitive skills compared to the use of conventional methods. The conclusion of this research is that the learning model applied affects metacognition skills. The combination of STAD and guided inquiry learning models showed the highest achievement of metacognition skills compared to guided inquiry, STAD, and conventional learning models. However, the STAD and guided inquiry learning models showed the effect of metacognition scores that were not significantly different.
Students’ Reasoning About Float, Suspend, and Sink: The Role of Newton's Laws
Authors: Luh Sukariasih  , Sutopo  , Handayanto Supriyono Koes , Panre Andi Marwanti
Published: January 2025

The phenomena of floating, suspending, and sinking have been studied by students from elementary school to university level. However, many students, even at the university level, still misuse their knowledge to solve problems related to these phenomena. This has been revealed by many previous researchers. Student errors are mainly caused by students tending to apply intuition-based spontaneous-reflective thinking patterns triggered by salient features that appear in the problem rather than thinking deeply and reflectively. This research aims to reveal students’ understanding and reasoning about floating, suspending, and sinking phenomena in more detail. This research was conducted on first-year students of the Department of Physics Education of Halu Oleo University Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, with 31 participants. Data was obtained through a series of tests and interviews. The test was given in two stages, and two instruments were developed to reveal students’ reasoning skills through the answers they wrote. The first test used the five-block problem. The second test was developed based on the first test’s results, which consisted of four test items. Based on descriptive analysis, it is found that students still use incorrect reasoning in solving floating, suspending, and sinking phenomena even though they know various concepts related to these events verbally. In general, the errors shown are caused by students not being able to use the concept of Newton’s laws of motion in solving various problems in physics, especially in the phenomena of floating, suspending, and sinking. The data obtained is then used as a reference in designing learning activities, which are expected to help students understand floating, suspending, and sinking phenomena more comprehensively.

Published: January 2025

This research aims to measure the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning Model with RAHMA Syntax (PjBL-RAHMA) in improving prospective biology teachers’ critical thinking skills. RAHMA is an acronym for Recognizing Problems, Analyzing Problems, Handling Projects, Monitoring Progress, and Assessing Results. This research was quasi-experimental with a posttest-only control group design. This research involved 223 prospective biology teachers from three well-accredited public universities in Sumatra, Indonesia. Data from the critical thinking skills test results were analyzed using JASP software. Prospective biology teachers’ achievement of critical thinking skills after learning using the PjBL-RAHMA model showed that the experimental class was better than the control class. This research concludes that PjBL-RAHMA effectively improves prospective biology teachers’ critical thinking skills. This research also explains the contribution of each PjBL-RAHMA syntax in improving prospective biology teachers’ critical thinking skills. The PjBL-RAHMA syntax has increased prospective biology teachers’ ability to understand and analyze real-life problems, providing good reasons, logical thinking, and creating solutions to problems, especially in pedagogy.
Severe palmoplantar keratoderma: a cutaneous complication from sub-optimally controlled type 2 diabetes
Authors: Iqbal Fatima , Phan Kevin , Cheung Wah N
Published: January 2025

Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), characterised by excessive epidermal thickening of the skin on the palms and/or plantar surfaces of the feet, can be hereditary or acquired. Here, we report a case of a 53-year-old woman with a history of sub-optimally controlled diabetes mellitus presenting with fevers and decreased Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) to a tertiary hospital. She was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), with blood glucose at 40 mmol/L and ketones at 7 mmol/L, in the setting of a methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus necrotising soft tissue back infection. Her medical history included diabetes managed with insulin but no engagement with an endocrinologist or allied health support. Examination revealed an infected, necrotic back wound on her left mid-upper back that required surgical debridement and broad-spectrum IV antibiotics. In addition, she exhibited marked plantar keratoderma and onychogryphosis, reportedly present and worsening over approximately two years. She was prescribed 40% urea cream twice daily, resulting in gradual sloughing of the hyperkeratotic skin within a few weeks. Her HbA1c was 10.4%, and she tested negative for diabetes antibodies, indicating type 2 diabetes. Treatment included an insulin–dextrose infusion until DKA resolved, followed by twice daily insulin degludec/aspart (Ryzodeg 70/30) and metformin. The PPK was attributed likely secondary to sub-optimally managed diabetes.

Learning points

Diabetes mellitus has multiple complications, including rare dermatologic manifestations such as PPK.

This case illustrates the importance of thorough skin assessments in patients with diabetes, particularly those that have a history of sub-optimal diabetes control.

A multidisciplinary approach, integrating dermatology, endocrinology and allied health services such as podiatry, is essential in managing diabetes-related complications, improving patient quality of life and preventing further complex manifestations.

De la violencia al diálogo, o cómo viajan las metáforas desde la política a la poética, y de regreso
Authors: Pilshchikov Igor
Published: January 2025

El artículo explora el legado y la evolución de la terminología marxista en la teoría literaria de Europa del Este, desde los formalistas rusos hasta la semiótica cultural de Yuri Lotman. Los teóricos rusos adoptaron metáforas clave del marxismo como “conflicto” y “violencia organizada”, reinterpretándolas para analizar la construcción del texto poético en lugar de la lucha de clases. Lotman heredó este vocabulario y lo aplicó a diversos textos artísticos y a la semiósfera en general, reinterpretando al mismo tiempo el concepto de dialogismo de Mijaíl Bajtín para analizar los conflictos sociales. Este proceso de transferencia y transformación conceptual (desde la política a la poética y de regreso) se debate aquí desde una perspectiva similar a las propuestas teóricas de Mieke Bal, quien destaca que los “conceptos viajeros” experimentan un proceso de negociación y revalorización en cada disciplina.
Coping with a Disenchanted World: The Portrayal of Enlightenment in Tolstoy’s War and Peace
Authors: Correa-Cabrera José Alfonso
Published: January 2025

While traditional interpretations of War and Peace have snubbed its philosophical elements, and only a handful of scholars have taken seriously Tolstoy’s philosophical ideas, this paper claims that a sophisticated critique of the Enlightenment is the leitmotiv of his book. By means of a close reading of Tolstoy’s descriptions of some of the most controversial effects associated to the Enlightenment (i.e., the disenchantment of the world, concept fetishism, the decline of the individual, bureaucratization, the erosion of traditional solidarity, and the reduction of reason to its instrumental dimension), and by comparing Tolstoy’s ideas with some of the most accomplished analysis of the Enlightenment and its effects, this paper offers a novel reading of War and Peace: Tolstoy’s book should not be read exclusively as a chauvinist and aristocratic depiction of the nineteenth-century Russian society. Above all, War and Peace is an insightful assessment of one of the most momentous transformations of human societies.
Superficies corrugadas: de una etnografía arqueológica a una arqueología de los intersticios relacionales

En este trabajo analizo la ambivalencia de las relaciones sociales tejidas en campo en el marco de un proyecto de arqueología preventiva en el municipio de Maicao, departamento de La Guajira, Colombia, con énfasis en cómo estas obedecen a efectos y búsquedas de la posmodernidad. Dada la naturaleza de la vivencia analizada, me permito abordarla en clave de crónica acompañada de elementos y reflexiones propias de la etnografía arqueológica como enfoque teórico, para develar la multiplicidad de actores e intereses que toman parte en un escenario que oscila entre lo patrimonial y el extractivismo, y que, de igual manera, se nutre de las ficciones construidas por estos dos sectores inmersos en el multiculturalismo neoliberal.
Tensiones en la planeación territorial de Zapopan, entre la expansión y la contención urbana
Authors: Hernandez Vazquez Samuel
Published: January 2025

El área metropolitana de Guadalajara enfrenta dinámicas espaciales complejas y cambiantes, plagadas de múltiples desafíos. Las tensiones de la planificación la presionan para (re)definir su papel ante infraestructuras urbano-económicas inadecuadas, propias de la fragmentación y la expansión urbana. En el municipio de Zapopan, estado de Jalisco (México), las políticas de uso del suelo muestran una tensión entre los Planes Parciales de Desarrollo Urbano y el Programa de Ordenamiento Ecológico Local (poel). El objetivo aquí es mostrar la gestión del poel como instrumento de planeación, subordinada a las dinámicas del desarrollo urbano y el mercado inmobiliario, mediante la aplicación de una metodología de corte documental-etnográfica. Se detecta que el municipio de Zapopan no contempla la integralidad del territorio en la planificación puesto que no posee los instrumentos de planeación territorial y ecológica que se ajusten a las dinámicas de la ciudad, y eso contribuye al deterioro ambiental y a la expansión desarticulada y fragmentada.
Morelia, ciudad intermedia en México: una mirada interescalar a su relación con el ferrocarril interurbano
Authors: García Espinosa Salvador , Figueroa Alvarado Gloria Belén
Published: January 2025

La ciudad representa el entorno humano por excelencia, en la medida en que alrededor del 60 % de la población mundial se concentra en las ciudades. En el caso de México, la proporción es aún mayor, toda vez que 8 de cada 10 habitantes residen en una ciudad. El comportamiento demográfico en estas ciudades ha cambiado de tendencia: desde 1990 las grandes zonas metropolitanas mexicanas han disminuido su crecimiento poblacional y se ha intensificado el de las ciudades intermedias. Sin embargo, la producción de documentos tanto de política urbana como en publicaciones científicas se ha concentrado en analizar las grandes urbes metropolitanas. En este sentido, este artículo tiene como objetivo estudiar los factores, características y funciones de la ciudad de Morelia (México) que permitirían considerarla como intermedia, a partir de su lugar en la actual jerarquía urbano-regional, derivado principalmente de su relación con el ferrocarril interurbano trasnacional y de su rol de intermediación por estar ubicada sobre el corredor logístico transcontinental al que pertenece.

Published: January 2025

Este artículo analiza la distribución espacial y la evolución temporal de la pobreza multidimensional en Colombia, utilizando datos de los censos de 2005 y 2018. Mediante una combinación de técnicas estadísticas, como el índice de Moran, y de análisis espacial, como el análisis de dependencia espacial local (LISA), se examinan los patrones y tendencias de la pobreza en 32 departamentos y 1122 municipios. Los hallazgos revelan una dependencia espacial persistente, con la pobreza concentrada en regiones periféricas, especialmente a lo largo de la Costa norte y en los territorios del sur del país. Se identifican, igualmente, cambios significativos en los niveles de pobreza, incluidos procesos de expansión y contracción contagiosos. Además, el estudio resalta la importancia de considerar las dependencias espaciales en la formulación de políticas para abordar de manera efectiva las disparidades de pobreza en las regiones colombianas. Al proporcionar información detallada sobre la dinámica de la pobreza multidimensional, esta investigación contribuye a la formulación de intervenciones políticas específicas e informadas geográficamente, destinadas a reducir la pobreza.

Published: January 2025

En un mundo cada vez más globalizado y regido en las lógicas moderno-occidentales, surge una preocupación significativa por la pérdida de los saberes tradicionales en los territorios. Estos saberes representan no solo modos de habitar y las relaciones históricas de los sujetos con los espacios, sino también los medios de sustento desarrollados por varias generaciones. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo interpretar el proceso de configuración de la territorialidad en el municipio de Pijao, Quindío, a partir de los saberes tradicionales de las mujeres rurales. La investigación se enmarca en un enfoque histórico-hermenéutico, que dialoga con perspectivas de las teorías críticas como el pensamiento decolonial, las epistemologías del sur y los estudios culturales. Para su desarrollo, se utilizan métodos como la observación participante y entrevistas a trece mujeres vinculadas por la Asociación Municipal de Juntas de Acción Comunal (Asocomunales) de Pijao. Los saberes tradicionales tienen una naturaleza dinámica y se adaptan a la realidad. No son conocimientos estáticos, sino que se modifican en respuesta a las condiciones particulares de cada familia o comunidad rural. Las mujeres son las cuidadoras del legado de sus territorios, transmitiendo no solo sus habilidades prácticas, sino también afectos, valores, significados y maneras de comprender y relacionarse con el mundo.

Published: January 2025

One of the most difficult tasks faced by the firms during the COVID19 period is managing work processes while permitting workers to work remotely is indifference, which has rarely piqued the attention of researchers. This research explores the influence of extended remote working on employee indifference to the workplace. A quantitative research approach has been used to accomplish the objectives. The data was obtained through well-structured questionnaires distributed to 369 IT employees in Kerala, India. To test the research hypotheses, regression analysis, and moderator analysis were used. Extended remote working positively correlates to employee indifference to the workplace and gender acts as a moderator for this relationship. This study is likely to lead to research insights in the area of remote working and employee indifference to the workplace. The study explored the existence of indifference to the workplace and also found that extended remote working positively influences indifference to the workplace.
SGDWOA: A Novel Approach in Whale Optimisation for Accurate Cell Classification in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Using Machine Learning
Authors: Suresh-Pandit Anuradha , Dixit Vaibhav V.
Published: January 2025

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), a common head and neck cancer, is often unnoticed but can be identified early. Diagnosing this heterogeneous tumour requires extensive human experience, and artificial intelligence can help to improve diagnosis. This study used novel methodologies based on feature selection and classification in an attempt to obtain good findings for the early detection of OSCC. By using cutting-edge hybrid strategies to extract features and improve classification, this work seeks to bridge the gap among deep learning and machine learning procedures. Initially, preprocessing is done to address artifacts in the OSCC dataset. The first method uses SMOTE oversampling and feature scaling in conjunction with Resnet 50 and Efficientnet B5 models for feature extraction. In the second method, the best feature set is chosen using the Statistic gain Dynamic Remodelled Whale Optimization Algorithm (SDRWOA), and the Random Forest Classifier is then employed to classify cancer types into poor, moderate, and well categories. The finding shows that the proposed model beats the other classifiers by attaining the maximum overall accuracy, recall and F1-score of 98% and precision of 97.6%. In conclusion, the suggested approach advances the development of extremely precise and effective OSCC diagnosis techniques.

La competencia se manifiesta cuando los líderes enfrentan cuestiones relacionadas con el futuro y sus decisiones estratégicas de tipo complejo y de largo plazo. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo la adaptación y validación del instrumento Foresight Styles Assessment (FSA) a la idiosincrasia latinoamericana y en idioma español, quedando denominado como Evaluación de Estilos de Foresight (EEF) con el fin de que sea una herramienta confiable para medir la competencia del Foresight en los líderes de las organizaciones de habla hispana, en especial para Colombia, y evaluar sus propiedades psicométricas. El instrumento pasó por tres fases, la primera fue una adaptación cultural, la segunda fase fue su traducción asertiva al español, consolidando un instrumento en español de 23 ítems.  La tercera fase fue la validación del instrumento con una muestra depurada de 118 individuos relacionados al programa de Extensionismo Tecnológico, aplicándoles el instrumento EEF de 26 ítems con respuesta tipo Likert el cual entregó un alfa de Cronbach de 0.981, mostrando un ajuste satisfactorio. Además, se utilizaron las técnicas estadísticas de Análisis Factorial (AF), el Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC) y el Modelado de Ecuaciones Estructurales (MEE); confirmando cuatro constructos o variables latentes (Framer/Enmarcador, Adapter/Adaptador, Tester/Experimentador y Reactor/Resistente), reduciendo las preguntas a 23 ítems para Colombia. El EEF es una herramienta útil en la de toma de decisiones por parte de los líderes que integran las organizaciones, permitiendo mejorar su visión, competitividad y perdurabilidad.

La creciente demanda de procesos eficientes y sostenibles en la industria del tratamiento de aguas ha motivado la búsqueda de soluciones avanzadas de control automático. El desarrollo del proyecto implicó la instalación y configuración de una planta de tratamiento de agua a escala, equipada con sensores de nivel y temperatura, actuadores y un sistema de control inteligente y una interfaz de monitorización diseñada en LabView. Se implementaron y evaluaron diferentes estrategias de control, incluyendo controladores clásicos (como PID) y técnicas avanzadas de control inteligente. Este enfoque permitió una comparación exhaustiva de los rendimientos de cada método en condiciones reales de operación. La implementación de un control difuso multivariable permitió la regulación simultánea del nivel de líquido y la temperatura del sistema, con un bajo coste de procesamiento permitiendo compactar el proceso. Este enfoque de control multivariable no solo mejoró la eficiencia general del sistema, sino que también demostró la viabilidad de automatizar procesos complejos de tratamiento de agua con mínima intervención humana.
МЕТОДИКИ СТАНДАРТУ ISA-106 ДЛЯ АВТОМАТИЗАЦІЇ ПРОЦЕДУР ОПЕРАЦІЙ НЕПЕРЕРВНИХ ПРОЦЕСІВ

Анотація. Для неперервних виробництв характерною є складність виконання процедур запуску, зупинки, зміни продукту чи виходу з нештатних ситуацій. Це пов'язано з великою кількістю необхідний, часто ручних, дій, відсутністю достатнього досвіду у операторів, а тривалий їх час приводить до значних витрат. Авторитетна організація по стандартизації International Society of Automation у 2023-му році випустила стандарт ISA-106, мета якого передати кращі практики для автоматизації процедур. За досить тривалий час роботи комітету вийшло небагато просвітнього матеріалу щодо пояснення методик, а їх розуміння тісно пов'язано з іншими спорідненими стандартами. У той же час, відомими світовими інжиніринговими організаціями наводяться вагомі аргументи щодо його важливості. Після виходу стандарту, діяльність щодо висвітлення його концепцій у світі практично не спостерігається, в Україні такого матеріалу немає зовсім. У той же час, стандарт надає основу для автоматизації процедур через означення основних моделей, концепцій автоматизованого керування та опису процесів в життєвому циклі автоматизованих систем керування. Частина з цих моделей є спільними з зі спорідненими стандартами ISA-88/IEC-61512, ISA-95/IEC-62264, тим не менше є певні суперечності в них. Також є ідеологічні відмінності між ISA-88 та ISA-106, що робить впровадження останнього дещо складнішим та обмежує його можливості. Основні відмінності є в інтерпретації нижнього рівня фізичної моделі, концепції модуля у ISA-88 у порівнянні з концепцією процедури в ISA-106 та понятійному відношенні. Наразі необхідна розробка відповідного просвітнього матеріалу, методичного забезпечення та інструментарію, що спростить впровадження стандарту і відповідно матиме позитивний економічний ефект на підприємствах з неперервним виробництвом.

Abstract
The article presents a clinical case of monkeypox (MPOX) infection, a rare acute viral zoonosis until 2022, previously endemic in Africa, but currently recorded worldwide, including Europe and Bulgaria. The clinical case describes a 35-year-old man, healthy before the current disease, hospitalized to urology clinic with a diagnosis of cavernitis-complicated acute balanoposthitis. In the department, surgical treatment of liberatio cordi periglandularis penis was performed. The combination of intoxication syndrome with characteristic elements of pustular rash, initially treated as staphyloderma, served as the basis for infectious disease specialist to assume that the patient had MPOX, which was subsequently confirmed by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, after which the patient was transferred to the infectious disease clinic for isolation and treatment, which included detoxication, antibiotic and analgesic therapy. Upon discharge, the patient observed the quarantine regime until all elements of the rash had completely healed, and one-month follow-up observation after discharge showed no deviations from the norm. Due to the presence of a urogenital complication, cavernitis, a rare for this infection, a multidisciplinary approach was required, including urologists, dermatologists and infectious disease specialists. The surgical, pathogenetic and symptomatic treatment led to the patient complete recovery. Although monkeypox-related urogenital complications are rare, they can occur, which requires increased attention to such atypical disease manifestations. MPOX is a rare viral disease that has attracted the attention of health professionals due to its increasing incidence in countries where it is not typically endemic. The key finding of the current study is the necessity for increased vigilance by professionals of various specialties to rare and emerging infectious diseases such as MPOX to control their spread.
