Authors: Torquato Ventura Canuto Lívia , Félix Meira Flávia Paola , Silva Ana Carolina Araújo da
Published: September 2024

O termo transição capilar é usado para nomear um processo de abandono de técnicas químicas e físicas de alisamento em favor do uso dos cabelos em seus aspectos naturais. Esse processo envolve diferentes etapas desde rejeição, aceitação e ressignificação. Nesta pesquisa, buscamos investigar as relações das mulheres no processo de transição capilar na tentativa de compreender as diversas associações: cabelo e questões étnico-raciais; cabelo como constituição de uma identidade e empoderamento da mulher. Dessa forma, recorremos à metodologia de pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, tendo como instrumentos de coleta de dados e de informações um questionário com dezesseis questões divididas em quatro seções que são: Identificação; Tipos de Cabelos e Processos Químicos; Transição Capilar e Concluí a minha Transição Capilar.  As participantes da pesquisa são trinta e três mulheres negras que já passaram pelo processo de transição capilar. Para análise das respostas, recorremos aos pressupostos teóricos da análise de conteúdo. Neste estudo, analisamos as questões das seções sobre "Transição Capilar" e "Concluí a minha Transição Capilar" que poderiam nos fornecer informações para a compreensão do cabelo como constituição da identidade e do empoderamento da mulher. Os dados revelaram que o processo de transição envolve várias questões, sentimentos e compreensão da sua própria aparência, envolve um autoconhecimento e aceitação. Por fim, acreditamos que a discussão sobre transição capilar pode auxiliar na construção da identidade das mulheres e, ainda, na importância da representação para dar força para as mulheres de cabelo cacheado e crespo, a fim de buscar a compreensão da sua identidade.
ETHEREUM AĞINDA BULUNAN ERC-20 TABANLI TOKENLERİN GETİRİLERİ ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ
Authors: Doğan Taylan Taner , Toruk Birinci Merve
Published: September 2024

Kripto paralar, geleneksel ekonomik anlayışla değerlendirilmesi mümkün olmayan ve giderek yaygınlaşan para birimleridir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışma, başladığı tarih itibarıyla en yüksek piyasa değerine sahip olan, ERC-20 (ERC, "Ethereum Request for Comments") standartlarına uygun şekilde üretilmiş 5 kripto para arasında nedensellik ilişkisi olup olmadığını araştırmaktadır. Çalışmada incelenen tokenler: DAI Token (DAI), SHIBA Inu (SHIBA), Tether USDt (TETHER), Uniswap (UNI) ve USD Coin (USDC)’dir. Çalışmada VAR (Vektör Otoregresif) modeli kullanılmakta olup, bu modele dayalı olarak Granger nedensellik, Etki-Tepki ve Varyans ayrıştırması analizleri yapılmaktadır. Çalışma, 01.10.2021-05.02.2024 dönemini kapsamakta olup, serilerin günlük getirileri kullanılmaktadır.
Bu bağlamda, 10 model tahmin edilmiştir. Bu modellerden 4'ünde herhangi bir nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmezken, 3'ünde tek yönlü, 3'ünde ise çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Etki-Tepki analizleri genel olarak, kripto paraların kendi içlerinde meydana gelen şoklara duyarlı olduğunu, ancak diğer kripto paraların şoklarına duyarlı olmadığını göstermektedir (10 modelin 5'inde bu durum geçerlidir). Bununla birlikte, karşılıklı ve tek yönlü etkilerden de söz edilebilir. Etki-Tepki analizlerinin en çarpıcı sonucu, USDC’de meydana gelen şokların TETHER üzerinde oldukça uzun dönemli etkiler yaratmasıdır. Varyans ayrıştırması sonuçlarına göre en dikkat çekici bulgu, DAI’nın USDC'deki varyasyonun ana belirleyicisi olmasıdır ve bu etkinin tüm dönemler itibarıyla yaklaşık %70 civarında olduğu tespit edilmiştir. USDC’deki varyasyonun yaklaşık üçte ikisi, DAI’da meydana gelen varyasyondan kaynaklanmaktadır. Diğer bir önemli bulgu ise, TETHER’deki varyasyonun, DAI’nın USDC üzerindeki etkisi kadar büyük olmasa da, oldukça yüksek miktarda USDC varyasyonunu açıklamasıdır. Bu etkinin 1. dönemde en yüksek seviyesinde olduğu (%39,5 civarında) ve 4. dönemden sonra %35,3 civarında stabilize olduğu görülmektedir.

Published: September 2024

Las orquídeas tienen un gran potencial, pero, requieren medios de cultivo especializados para ser propagadas, ya que de manera natural menos de 5 % llegan a germinar y necesitan asociarse con hongos simbióticos. En ese sentido, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivo evaluar efecto de enraizadores in vitro (sacarosa y auxina) y tipos de sustrato en la aclimatación de Zigopetalum maculatum. Para el enraizamiento, los brotes fueron sembrados con AIA (3, 6 y 9 mg L-1) y sacarosa (30, 50 y 70 g L-1). En la aclimatación, se sembraron en sustratos con fibra del fruto de coco (Cocos sp.), trozos de raíz de helecho arbóreo (Cyathea sp.), y musgo (Sphagnum sp.), con diferentes proporciones de humus de lombriz (0.5, 1 y 2). El diseño empleado, fue DCA con arreglo bifactorial. Las variables de respuesta para el enraizamiento son: longitud y número de raíces, altura de la planta y número de hojas. En aclimatación son: altura planta y número de hojas (todos a los 90 días). En el enraizamiento, la interacción presentó diferencias significativas, en la combinación con 6 mg L-1 AIA*70 g de sacarosa presentó mayor número de raíces (6.10). La aplicación de AIA presentó diferencias significativas, de las cuales con 3 y 6 mg L-1 AIA expresaron mayor longitud de la planta (4.27 y 4.17 cm). La concentración de sacarosa presentó diferencias significativas, con 30 y 50 g L-1 tienen mayor cantidad de hojas de 5.35 y 5.32. En la aclimatación, la altura de las plantas presentó diferencias significativas en cuanto a tipo de sustrato, Shagnnun sp. fue el más favorable en obtener mayor altura de 7.8 cm. Se concluye, que en Z. maculatum con la combinación de 6 mg L-1AIA*70 g de sacarosa presentó mayor número de raíces y en la aclimatación, Shagnnun sp. fue el más propicio durante este proceso.

Published: September 2024

O cinema, como meio audiovisual que combina som e imagens em movimento, proporciona uma experiência única ao espectador. Os filmes têm ampliado a percepção das possibilidades do olhar sobre as imagens em movimento em comparação com a fotografia do século XIX. Reconhecendo o cinema como um produto das inovações tecnológicas, é possível utilizá-lo como uma ferramenta para promover debates com enfoque CTS (Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade) nas escolas. Este artigo tem como objetivo propor subsídios que auxiliem os professores na seleção e análise de filmes como recursos didático-pedagógicos em aulas de Ciências, com enfoque CTS. São discutidas as relações entre o cinema e o ensino de Ciências, destacando os filmes como recursos didáticos no enfoque CTS. Além disso, é apresentada uma proposta de leitura de imagens fílmicas (LIF) com enfoque CTS, dividida em três etapas: seleção, descrição e interpretação das interações CTS presentes no filme.

Authors: Schons Adriano , Krause João Carlos , Dos Santos Antônio Vanderlei
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir a importância da intencionalidade aluno/professor na prática da experimentação e da atividade lúdica no ensino de funções na matemática. A presente investigação é de cunho bibliográfico sob olhar qualitativo, a coleta de dados deu-se por meio de trabalhos publicados, nos quais descrevem a utilização de experimentos e ou jogos lúdicos na disciplina de matemática e suas contribuições para o aprendizado dos alunos. Constata-se dessa análise que a experimentação é uma das principais estratégias pedagógicas no ensino de matemática, pois possibilita a compreensão dos conceitos teóricos de forma prática e significativa. No entanto, para que essa prática seja efetiva, é necessário que haja uma intencionalidade tanto por parte do aluno quanto do professor. Além disso, tais atividades podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de habilidades cognitivas e socioemocionais dos estudantes, como raciocínio lógico, criatividade, trabalho em equipe e autoestima.

REPRESENTATIVIDADE FEMININA NOS LIVROS DIDÁTICOS DE CIÊNCIAS DA NATUREZA DO PNLD 2021
Authors: Grohmann Carvalho Jéssica , Giacomelli Alisson Cristian , Locatelli Aline
Published: September 2024

Por muito tempo, as mulheres enfrentaram preconceitos e privações de direitos, o que frequentemente as excluiu da participação na Ciência. Essa herança histórica de injustiças ainda se reflete em vários ambientes sociais, incluindo escolas. Portanto, defendemos que as escolas devem ser espaços de discussão e reflexão sobre esse problema. Os livros didáticos são ferramentas pedagógicas essenciais no ambiente escolar, amplamente utilizados por alunos em seus estudos e por professores na preparação de aulas, devido à sua praticidade e, em alguns casos, como o único material disponível. Com base nesses pontos, o estudo levantou questões-chave: as mulheres na Ciência são mencionadas nos livros do PNLD 2021? Como são retratadas nessas obras? Os livros abordam a participação feminina na Ciência? O objetivo foi analisar se os livros de Ciências da Natureza do PNLD 2021 mencionam mulheres que contribuíram para o campo científico, e verificar como elas são representadas e se a temática das mulheres na Ciência é abordada. Metodologicamente, o estudo foi uma pesquisa qualitativa bibliográfica, analisando coleções de ciências da natureza do PNLD 2021. Após análise dos dados, foi possível inferir a escassez e, em alguns casos, a ausência de representação feminina nos livros, evidenciando que ainda há um longo caminho para alcançar a igualdade de gênero no meio científico e na forma como isso é retratado nos materiais didáticos.Palavras-chave: Sexismo, Ciência, PNLD.
The Influence of Lifestyle on Cholesterol Levels
Authors: Cantika Erika , Peristiowati Yuly
Published: September 2024

The Epidemic of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) Obesity has doubled since the 1980s, rapidly becoming the largest global public health challenge. Obesity is the third leading cause of death in the world. The increase in obesity rates is associated with an individual's habit of consuming food with more energy than the body needs. Risk factors that can influence the increase in the prevalence of heart disease involve individuals with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, lack of physical activity, poor lifestyle habits such as consuming fast food, an unhealthy diet, and experiencing prolonged stress. This can be changed with a better lifestyle, while some risks that cannot be changed are congenital or genetic heart disease. Research Objective: reduce the death rate caused by heart disease by reducing the risk of heart disease. The sampling technique used is random sampling with a cross-sectional approach, and the examination sample consists of capillary blood, measurements, and interviews using questionnaires. Out of 130 people in Nisa Village, a significant relationship was found between an increase in cholesterol levels and respondents who frequently consume fast food. Subjects who were active/passive smokers had a significance value of 0.65 (p>0.05), indicating a strong relationship according to correlation guidelines. Subjects who frequently experienced stress also had a strong relationship with an increase in blood cholesterol levels, with a significance value of 0.34 (p>0.05). The variable of subjects who rarely exercised was found to have a significance value of 0.38 (p>0.05), meaning that the habit of infrequent exercise has a strong relationship with an increase in cholesterol levels.

Օսմանյան կայսրությունում 1915 թ. Հայոց ցեղասպանության օրերին Իսկանդերուն-Ալեքսանդրեթի սանջակի Մուսա լեռ կոչվող լեռան հարակից հայկական գյուղերը չենթարկվեցին աքսորի հրամանին և բարձրացան Մուսա լեռ, ռազմական դիմադրություն ցույց տվեցին թուրքական կանոնավոր զորքերին և ֆրանսիական նավերով տեղափոխվեցին Եգիպտոս՝ Պորտ Սաիդ: Առաջին աշխարհամարտում Օսմանյան կայսրության պարտությունից հետո Իսկանդերուն-Ալեքսանդրեթի սանջակը հանձնվեց Ֆրանսիային, և Ֆրանսիան Պորտ Սաիդում ապաստանած հայերին վերադարձրեց իրենց բնակավայրերը։ Սույն շրջանից սկսած՝ հայկական կուսակցական շրջանակներում վիճելի է դարձել այն հարցը, թե ովքե՞ր են ղեկավարել ինքնապաշտպանական մարտերը Մուսա լեռան բարձունքում: 1940-ականներին, երբ մուսալեռցիների մի մասը Այնճար բնակավայրը լքեց և տեղափոխվեց Հայաստան, այս ջրբաժանն ավելի խորացավ, քանի որ Խորհրդային Հայաստանում, համաձայն տիրող գաղափարախոսության, ինքնապաշտպանական մարտերի ղեկավարը չէր կարող լինել ՀՅԴ անդամ: Հայաստանում ապաստանած մուսալեռցիների ընկալումների մեջ ամրապնդվեց այդ տեսակետը, մինչդեռ Այնճարի մուսալեռցիները հակառակ համոզմունքն ունեն:
Армянские селения у подножья горы Мусалер в санджаке Искендерун-Александрет, не подчинившись приказу об изгнании, поднялись на гору Муса, чтобы оказать вооруженное сопротивление турецким регулярным войскам. На французских кораблях им удалось перебраться в Порт-Саид в Египте. После поражения Османской империи в Первой мировой войне санджак Искендерун-Александрет был передан Франции, которая содействовала возвращению армян, обосновавшихся в Порт-Саиде, в их родные очаги. В связи с этим событиями среди армянских партийных лидеров возник спор о том, кто возглавил оборону Мусалера. В 1940-е годы, когда часть мусалерцев покинула поселок Айнджар и переселилась в Армению, мнения в этом вопросе разделились: для мусалерцев, волею обстоятельств обосновавшихся в Совет-ской Армении, руководителями этих боев являлись лица, не принадлежавшие к партии АРФД, а для ливанских мусалерцев – наоборот.
During the Armenian Genocide of 1915, the Armenian villages near Musa Dagh in the sanjak of Iskenderun-Alexandretta of the Ottoman Empire did not comply with the deportation order. Instead, they ascended Musa Dagh and offered military resistance to the Turkish regular army. With the help of French ships, they were able to relocate to Port Said in Egypt. After the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War I, the sanjak of Iskenderun-Alexandretta was handed over to France, and France returned the Armenians who had taken refuge in Port Said to their homes. From that time on, the question of who led the defense of Musa Dagh became a contentious issue among the leaders of the Armenian parties. In the 1940s, when some Musa Dagh residents left the village of Anjar and resettled in Armenia, this division deepened. For Soviet Armenia Musa Daghians, members of the ARF could not be acknowledged as the leaders of the self-defense, and for the Lebanon Musa Daghians vice versa.

XX դարում երկու համաշխարհային և տարածաշրջանային պատերազմները, ապագաղութացումը գաղթականների, փախստականների և աքսորյալների կյանքում ունեցել են որոշիչ դեր։ Տարագիր գրականությունը գաղթի, աքսորի, նոր կյանքի ակնկալիքով օտար երկիր տեղափոխվածների գրականություն է։ Փ. Սուրյանը Վ.

В XX в. две мировые и региональные войны, деколонизация стран сыграли решающую роль в жизни эмигрантов, беженцев и ссыльных. Эмигрантская литература – это литература изгнания, людей, переехавших в чу-жие страны в надежде на новую жизнь. Как в произведениях ряда авторов XX в., в частности У. Сарояна, П. Балакяна, так и П. Сурьяна героям пришлось пройти через многие испытания, выпавшие на их долю. Однако жизнь с ее перипетиями не сломила их волю, не нивелировала их национальную индентичость и стремление интегрироваться в новую среду, частью которой им удалось стать, сохранив человеческое достоинство и веру в грядущее.
In the 20th century, two world and regional wars, decolonization of countries played a decisive role in the lives of emigrants, refugees and exiles. Emigrant literature is the literature of exile, of people who moved to foreign countries in the hope of a new life. In the works of a series of authors of the XX century, in particular W. Saroyan, P. Balakian, as well as P. Su-rian heroes have to go through many trials that fell to their lot. However, life with its vicissi-tudes did not break their will, did not neutralize their national identity and desire to integrate into the new environment, a part of which they managed to stand, preserving human dignity and faith in the future.
XIII դ. հայ-վրացական հակամոնղոլական ընդվզումները և Զաքարյան իշխանատոհմը

Մոնղոլները 1236 թ. Հյուսիսարևելյան, այն է՝ Զաքարյան Հայաստանն ու Արևելյան Վրաստանը գրավելուց հետո ձեռնամուխ եղան իրենց տիրապետության հաստատմանը։ Այն ուղեկցվում էր հարկերի պարբերական բարձրացմամբ և մոնղոլների՝ ծանր զրկանքներով ու այլ վտանգներով լի ռազմարշավներին իրենց զորամասերով հայ ու վրաց իշխանների պարտադիր մասնակցությամբ։ Բնականաբար, դա հարուցում էր վերջիններիս դժգոհությունը՝ տեղիք տալով հակամոնղոլական ընդվզումների։ XIII դ. տեղի ունեցավ նման երեք ընդվզում (1245, 1249, 1259-1261 թթ.)։ Դրանցից առաջին երկուսն ապստամ-բության չվերածվեցին, քանի որ դեռ նախապատրաստվելիս, մատնության պատճառով բացահայտվելով, ձախողվեցին։ Ինչ վերաբերում է վերջինին, ապա այն վերածվեց համառ ու բավականին հզոր ապստամբության, որը մոնղոլները ճնշեցին մեծ ջանքերի գնով։ Զաքարյան իշխանատոհմն այս ընդվզումներին ու դրանց հետ կապված իրադարձություններին մասնակցությունից անմասն չմնաց։ Սակայն դրանց նկատմամբ նրա ներկայացուցիչների դիրքորոշումը նույնական չէր։
После захвата северо-восточной, то есть Захаридской Армении и Восточной Грузии в 1236 г. монголы предприняли шаги по установлению своего господства. Последнее сопровождалось периодическим повышением налогов и непременным участием армянских и грузинских князей с их войсками в опасных и исполненных неимоверных лишений военных походах монголев. Разумеется, это вызывало недовольство армянских и грузинских князей, что нашло отражение в антимонгольских выступлениях. В XIII в. имели место три таких выступления (в 1245, 1249, 1259-1261 гг.), из которых первые два не переросли в восстание, поскольку в процессе подготовки они были пресечены в результате предательства. Что же касается последнего выступления, то оно вылилось в довольно-таки мощное восстание, которое было подавлено величайшими усилиями монголов. Княжеский род Захаридов не остался в стороне от этих событий и принял в них участие. Однако у представителей этого княжеского рода было неоднозначное отношение к этим выступлениям и связанным с ними событиям.
After conquering North-Eastern, that is, Zakarian Armenia and Eastern Georgia in 1236, the Mongols started establishing their rule. This was accompanied by the periodic increase of taxes and the obligatory participation of Armenian and Georgian princes along with their mili-tary units in Mongol campaigns full of severe hardships and dangers. Naturally, this provoked the dissatisfaction of the Armenian and Georgian princes, giving rise to anti-Mongol uprisings. In the XIII century three such uprisings took place (in 1245, 1249 and 1259-1261). The first two of them did not turn into a rebellion, because they were revealed due to betrayal while still being in the process of organization and failed. As for the third one, it turned into a persistent and quite powerful rebellion, which the Mongols suppressed at the cost of great efforts. The dynasty of the Zakarians did participate in these uprisings and the events related to them. However, the stand of its representatives towards each of them was not unified.

A disputa ideológica entre Isócrates e Platão: consequências para a Filosofia e a Retórica
Authors: Lacerda Ticiano Curvelo Estrela de
Published: September 2024

No contexto da restauração da democracia ateniense no séc. IV AEC, Isócrates e Platão instituíram duas das mais proeminentes escolas filosóficas da Antiguidade e certamente as duas mais importantes do Período Clássico. Em alguma medida influenciados pela moralidade socrática voltada para o debate das virtudes, ambos são radicais opositores dos sofistas de seu tempo e do século anterior, que promoviam, segundo eles, uma educação erística ora imoral ora lisonjeadora. Com o objetivo de oferecer novas alternativas pedagógicas para a formação política dos jovens, tanto Isócrates como Platão propõem, sob a alcunha de philosophia, modelos de paideia orientados para o bem comum, a justiça e a idoneidade. Há, no entanto, uma fundamental disputa ideológica em torno de cada uma dessas filosofias. A fim de se opor à retórica sofística, o idealismo da filosofia platônica, como sabemos, vale-se do método dialético para que o verdadeiro conhecimento (episteme) das virtudes morais seja alcançado, promovendo assim a justiça e o bem comum da pólis. O pragmatismo isocrático, ao contrário, delineia a filosofia como uma paideia dos discursos cívicos, em que somente as boas opiniões (doxai) seriam capazes de melhor orientar a cidade com razoabilidade para as ações a serem tomadas, em detrimento de uma episteme platônica que nada serviria para a política. Discutiremos, portanto, esses e outros aspectos dessa disputa ideológica entre Isócrates e Platão, buscando verificar como ocorre essa querela ao longo dos textos a eles atribuídos, além de apontar em que medida a relação entre suas doutrinas filosóficas foram determinantes para os contornos da Filosofia e da Retórica na posteridade.

Este artigo busca apresentar uma modelagem matemática baseada nos preceitos da Teoria Fuzzy que, após o processamento dos dados coletados em 2021 e 2023, retorna o Índice da Qualidade da Logística do E-commerce (IQLE) e índices parciais que o compõe. Tais valores visam exemplificar e validar o modelo e pretende representar a qualidade da logística do e-commerce pela ótica do cliente, pela abordagem da visão operacional da logística em si e pelos aspectos relacionados ao atendimento do cliente final. O modelo apresentou-se robusto nos resultados, denotando proporções similares nos resultados de 2021 e 2023, que são comparados e analisados, inclusive gerando-se seis cenários que são avaliados para se identificarem possíveis causas para os efeitos caracterizados. Observam-se modificações positivas nos índices, na maioria com margens acima de cinquenta pontos percentuais, que podem indicar possíveis modificações processuais pelas principais marketplaces e investimentos tecnológicos. Quanto às relações de causa e efeito, sugere-se que a idade do cliente respondente e o valor do frete têm possível relação com as mudanças de visão entre 2021 e 2023.

Published: September 2024

Fibromyalgia holds significant importance in both primary care and physical treatment settings due to its high prevalence and the challenges associated with its diagnosis and management. This study aims to assess the short-term efficacy of a wet-cupping therapy session in alleviating symptoms of Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS). This study employed a prospective, single-arm intervention design. Baseline and post-treatment evaluations encompassed a comprehensive battery of assessment tools: Socio-Demographic Questionary, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain, Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Beck Depression Scale (BDS), Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). A total of 20 eligible individuals were enrolled in the study. Significant alterations in pain perception, as measured by the VAS, were evident both prior to treatment and at the end of the first week of treatment (p < 0.001). Additionally, significant favorable effects of the treatment were observed on FSS and BDS levels during the initial week of therapy (p = 0.001, p = 0.01; respectively). Moreover, a marked improvement was identified in FIQ scores after treatment compared to baseline (p < 0.001). Across all evaluated clinical indicators, cupping therapy exhibited a significant positive influence on FMS. In conclusion, wet cupping therapy yields favorable outcomes in terms of pain perception, fatigue reduction, mood enhancement, and the overall impact of fibromyalgia syndrome. Thus, it offers a promising avenue for therapeutic intervention among individuals afflicted by this condition.

The inclusion of rural smallholder farmers in the export of horticultural products has two major implications: increased household income through access to a promising global market and enhanced productivity, cumulatively contributing to the growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and foreign exchange. Currently, there are an estimated 2,500 smallholder farmers participating in horticultural exports South Rift of Kenya. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between post-harvest handling practices by smallholder farmers and the growth of the horticultural export market. Quantitative data were collected using a structured questionnaire from a sample of 334 small-scale horticultural farmers, randomly selected for the study. Validity and reliability tests were conducted prior to the main study. Descriptive statistics and simple linear regression were employed to analyze the data. Post-harvest handling practices were assessed through the utilization of packaging materials, storage facilities, energy supply, hygiene, and transportation facilities. The findings indicated a statistically significant relationship between post-harvest handling practices and the growth of horticultural export markets. However, deficiencies were observed among small-scale farmers in South Rift, Kenya, in managing horticultural products after harvest. The study recommended for strategic interventions for the adoption of modern technologies in every stage of the supply chain and establishes collaborations with key stakeholders in order to minimize cost of investment per farmer and ultimately enhancing market standards compliance and competitiveness in the fruit and vegetable export market.

Published: September 2024

The Security-constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED) problem is the problem of finding the optimal generation dispatch for a power system that minimizes the operating cost while ensuring the security of the system. The security of the system is defined as the ability of the system to withstand disturbances without violating any operational constraints. Line outage is a common disturbance that can affect the security of a power system. The Firefly Algorithm, inspired by the flashing behavior of fireflies in nature, is a metaheuristic optimization technique known for its effectiveness in solving complex and dynamic optimization problems. In this study, the FA is adapted to the SCED problem with a specific focus on enhancing grid resilience during line outage scenarios. The proposed method aims to simultaneously optimize the economic cost of power generation and the system's ability to withstand line outages. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, extensive simulations are conducted on standard IEEE test systems with varying degrees of complexity and network sizes. The results showcase the superior performance of the SCEDL-Firefly Algorithm compared to traditional optimization methods, as it provides a resilient dispatch solution that can effectively adapt to unexpected line outages while maintaining economic efficiency. Overall, this research contributes to the advancement of secure economic dispatch techniques and power system resilience by leveraging the Firefly Algorithm's capabilities. The findings offer valuable insights for power system operators and planners seeking to enhance grid reliability in the presence of line outages, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure.
Parental Agreements on Children’s Parental Custody, Contact and Child Maintenance – High Requirements and Strict Standards versus the Child’s Interests
Authors: Szeibert Orsolya
Published: September 2024

The aim of the paper is to analyse the Hungarian family law rules regarding parental agreements on children’s parental custody, contact and child maintenance, including their high legal and judicial requirements and strict standards. Parents are regularly supported to agree on issues concerning their children in cases when they no longer live together, as this corresponds to the principle of autonomy. However, they must enter into agreements that meet the requirements of the child’s best interests regardless of whether they lived in marriage or de facto cohabitation. The agreements must serve the interests of the partners and those of the child but not only at the time of concluding the agreement but also later. The question emerges of how either partner may request the agreement to be modified if the parents cannot agree new terms. Several aspects of the regulation, such as the judiciary, need to be considered and envisaged to evaluate the legal environment of parental agreements. This investigation is validated by the fact that it is not only the parents’ but also the state’s task to support the conclusion of agreements that protect the parties and their child’s interests and, if necessary, make the amendment of agreements possible.

Independence Versus Interdependence: Analyzing the Dynamics of Indian Immigrant Couple in Jhumpa Lahiri’s “A Temporary Matter”
Authors: Zakarneh Bilal , Annamalai Nagaletchimee
Published: September 2024

Independence and interdependence are two important considerations in a marital relationship. In particular, interdependence is considered an important consideration, witnessed by existing literature. Based on the relevant consideration, this research article examines independence and interdependence as prevailing themes in Jhumpa Lahiri’s short story “A Temporary Matter” under Reader’s Response Theory. The researcher used the intrinsic case study method and critically analyzed the short story and its relation to independence and interdependence. Thus, it is found that both themes are prevalent as the story title is direct yet has deeper meanings for the readers. Although the power outrage is depicted as a minor inconvenience, it amplifies the emotional distance caused by past traumas. The power outage symbolizes the event of interdependence when both spouses sit together and share their experiences. This interdependence becomes especially apparent when Shukumar shares his grief, and Shoba, despite intending to be part of her residence, becomes aware of her husband’s plight. Notably, this story is based on an open ending that implies the readers’ choice of conclusion. This indicates how Lahiri’s work also focuses on readers’ ability to generate interpretation and acquire an understanding of marriage, independence, and interdependence as important aspects.

Internalized Misogyny: A Transnational Exploration of Select Literary Narratives
Authors: Sunny Neena , Sreenivasulu Yadamala
Published: September 2024

Patriarchy is a pervasive global phenomenon, that creates social, cultural and political disparities and perpetuates gender inequality, discrimination and bias. It is deeply embedded in various discourses of human civilization, operating through both identifiable and unidentifiable mechanisms. Internalized misogyny, many a time is a subtle apparatus that manifests and maintains patriarchy and gender inequality. Identifying internalized misogyny is a complex task owing to the fact that its practices are often legitimized and internalized by women, thus making it unrecognized. Periodically, when overt structures of patriarchal hegemonies are criticized, the covert means of hegemonic functioning, particularly internalized misogyny remains underrepresented and uncritiqued. Thus, addressing the problem of internalized misogyny is the need of the hour. This study adopts two literary narratives namely, The Bonesetter’s Daughter by Amy Tan and Idris: Keeper of the Light by Anita Nair for the ongoing discussion on internalized misogyny. The Bonesetter’s Daughter by Amy Tan inquire into multigenerational reverberations of internalized misogyny, through the traction of mothers and daughters impelling Chinese traditions and gender roles upon themselves and other women around them. Idris: Keeper of the Light by Anita Nair clasps the reader’s attention towards 17th Century India and how the female characters grapples with societal norms that incarcerate them into subservient roles. Hence, this proposed paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the select works to identify and examine the discourse of internalized misogyny, that perpetuates gender inequality. By scrutinizing both works, this paper divulges into the omnipresent nature of internalized misogyny irrespective of contrasting historical and cultural contexts.
