Overcoming challenges: the solidarity economy as a response to women's unpaid work in Ecuador
Authors: Quirola Quizhpi Gabriela Cecilia , Márquez Sañay Fernando Ricardo , Sandoval Escobar Katherine Elizabeth , Costales Montenegro Roberto Isaac
Published: September 2024

The sexual division of labor has historically relegated women to unpaid work in the home, perpetuating gender inequality and limiting their incorporation into the labor market under equal conditions. In Ecuador, this disparity is evident, as women devote significantly more time to unpaid work than men. This article analyzes the situation of women in relation to their hours of unpaid work and the income generated by these activities. It qualitatively explores the correlation between these variables and examines how the solidarity economy in Ecuador can contribute to the vindication of women in their productive role. In addition, Marxist and feminist theories were applied to examine the exploitation of women's unpaid work and its impact on socioeconomic welfare. The results show that women dedicate almost three times more time to unpaid work than men. The solidarity economy is presented as a viable alternative for women's flexible labor insertion, allowing them to generate income and financial autonomy through associative processes. The gender disparity in unpaid work in Ecuador is significant. The solidarity economy can be an alternative for empowering women, improving their participation in the labor market under more equitable conditions and promoting a fair distribution of the means of production and wealth.

Authors: Athar Iqra , Khattak Neelma Naz , Batool Hania , Farah Tehreem , Shifa Tashfain , Zayian Zukhruf
Published: September 2024

Wilson’s disease (WD) is a rare disorder of copper metabolism, caused by a mutation in the ATPB7 gene, resulting in a defect in copper elimination leading to its accumulation in various organs, with the liver being the most common. Here, we describe a case of a 19-year-old boy who presented with a history of hallucinations and status epilepticus. Initial investigations were normal, but due to a rising trend in alanine transaminase (ALT), a slit lamp examination was performed, revealing Kayser-Fleischer (KF) rings in the eyes. The patient was diagnosed with WD due to the presence of these KF rings and increased urinary copper excretion. Wilson’s disease should be suspected in cases where the first manifestation of symptoms is neurological without evidence of prior such symptoms and no evidence of other neurological disorders.

Authors: Younas Umer , Aamir Asma , Rathore Farooq Azam
Published: September 2024

Facio-Scapulo-Humeral Dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant and third most common inherited muscular dystrophy. Typical phenotype of FSHD initially affects the muscles of the face and upper arm. Atypical FSHD refers to genetically confirmed FSHD with phenotypic variations. Scapulo-Humeral Dystrophy (SHD) is the most common atypical form of FSDH characterized by no facial muscle weakness on clinical examination, while other signs remain consistent with FSHD. We report a 31-year-old male who presented with foot drop and had an unexpected presentation as SHD. Provisional diagnosis of SHD was based on careful medical history, physical examination findings, modest rise in muscle enzymes, and needle electromyography findings of myopathy. Muscle biopsy suggested dystrophic changes which supported the diagnosis of FSHD with facial sparing. Rehabilitation plan included patient and family counseling/education, lifestyle modifications, energy conservation strategies, right ankle foot orthosis, and therapeutic exercises with regular follow-up for monitoring of the disease.

Innovation and development of collective ownership in China
Authors: Huang Meiling
Published: September 2024

Collective ownership in China is a unique system distinct from the traditional ownership in the civil law system. Within the Chinese legal framework, collective things primarily refer to rural collective land and other rural collective property. Collective ownership not only embodies the ownership of collective property enjoyed by the rural collective, but also emphasizes the effective utilization of collective property. Driven by the market economy, there has been a gradual transition from regulating collective ownership itself to utilizing collective property, resulting in a series of innovative achievements such as “the division of three rights”. Collective ownership is not an isolated right, but interacts with bundles of rights, such as the right to contractual management of land and land management right, jointly affecting the utilization of collective property. The ownership subject of collective property is specific, as the subject acquiring usufructuary rights through contractual management also entails identity attribute characteristics. However, through the design of land management right, the subjects and forms of utilization of land have been expanded, thereby establishing a peculiar system of security rights in collective property.
Collective property legal regimes and the evolution of Chinese enterprise reforms: a historical appraisal
Authors: Sabatino Gianmatteo
Published: September 2024

In the experience of Chinese economic reforms a capital role has been played by those collective institutions derived from the dismantlement of the communes established during the Maoist era. Legal regimes governing collective rights over both land and enterprises, starting from the early 1980s, empowered local communities to foster private-led economic initiatives. The Township and Village Enterprise became, in those years, the leading force of Chinese economic development. Collective enterprises constantly sought a balance between theoretical frameworks of property rights, rooted in socialist legal theory, and the increasing necessity for a diversification of instruments able to grant families and private individuals the powers to undertake economic endeavours. A historical appraisal of the role played by collective enterprises in the transformation of Chinese economic law is essential to understand how the current, highly diversified, regime of property rights in China came to be.

Published: September 2024

The results of this study stated that the use of activated moringa ore biosorbents had a great influence on the quality of cooking oil both physically and chemically. The results of data analysis based on variations in contact time and dose variations can show that free fatty acid levels have decreased but are not in accordance with the stipulated SNI, namely 0.17%. Activation of Moringa ore using Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) can reduce the levels of free fatty acids in used cooking oil. Variation of biosorbent contact time can affect the decrease in fatty acid levels, which occurs at the optimum contact time of 90 minutes, the free fatty acid percentage of 0.17% is not in accordance with SNI. Variations in biosorbent doses can also affect the increase in free fatty acid levels, namely the optimum dose of 1.00-gram percentage of free fatty acids decreased by 0.17% not according to SNI. Variations in contact time and variations in optimum doses of biosorbents can also affect color organoleptic tests and the smell of used cooking oil. Where the results of each respondent's statement that 95% of the refined oil using Moringa ore biosorbent are similar to new cooking oil, namely with a bright yellow color. The method used in this study is a quantitative method by conducting experiments on the subjects to be studied and used as a reference for finding and obtaining data directly through observation or experimentation

Published: September 2024

Early Childhood Education (PAUD) has an important role in the development and formation of children's character. One of the approaches used in PAUD learning is the KI Hadjar Dewantara approach. KI Hadjar Dewantara's approach is an approach that focuses on building children's character, including developing their potential and intelligence. This approach prioritizes hands-on experiences and games as effective learning tools. In early childhood learning with the KI Hadjar Dewantara approach, the teacher acts as a facilitator who encourages children to actively learn and be creative. Children are given the freedom to explore and express their ideas, so they can develop their creativity and independence. In addition, KI Hadjar Dewantara's approach also emphasizes the importance of character education, such as moral values, social attitudes, and concern for the environment. Children are taught to respect themselves, others and the environment through interesting and meaningful activities. By adopting the KI Hadjar Dewantara approach, early childhood learning becomes more fun, interactive, and child-centered. Children can develop positive skills and values ??that will help them in their daily lives and in the future

Published: September 2024

The use of synthetic chemical insecticides is not allowed or is used restrictively because of the problem of residues and the health risks of consumers. With this in mind, plants are needed that can provide potential alternatives to the currently used insecticides, as they are a rich source of bioactive molecules. Available literature indicates that the plant could be a source of new insecticides. Preventing food loss during post-harvest storage is of the utmost economic importance. Integrated pest management is now a widely accepted pest management strategy, including post-harvest pest management using chemical insecticides with disinfectants. Therefore, there is great potential for insecticidal compounds derived from plants. This article focuses on the current status of botanical insecticides as grain protectors and how they work. The control of this insect is highly dependent on the use of synthetic insecticides and disinfectants. But its widespread use has created serious problems. The increasing resistance of stored product insects to conventional synthetic pesticides, along with growing concerns over environmental and human health impacts, has spurred interest in alternative pest management strategies. Botanicals derived from medicinal plants have emerged as promising candidates due to their diverse bioactive properties and eco-friendly nature. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on the use of botanical extracts for controlling stored insects. It discusses the various modes of action, including repellency, toxicity, and growth inhibition, and highlights the most effective plant species and their phytochemical constituents.
Herpes Simplex Virus Infection in Neonatal: An Updated Review
Authors: Singh Ajit Pal , Saxena Rahul , Saxena Suyash
Published: September 2024

Neonatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, although rare, presents a substantial risk to new-borns with potentially catastrophic outcomes. Timely detection and immediate administration of antiviral treatment are essential for minimising illness and death rates. Nevertheless, there are numerous obstacles to overcome in order to achieve prompt intervention. Infants who have recently acquired HSV commonly have vague symptoms such as lack of energy, inadequate eating, or elevated body temperature, which complicates the initial diagnosis. Not all instances will exhibit the traditional triad of skin vesicles, ocular involvement, and mouth lesions, which can make early detection more challenging. Although laboratory procedures such as virus cultures and PCR (polymerase chain reaction) are accessible, they may need a significant amount of time to get findings. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination, a common diagnostic tool for central nervous system (CNS) involvement, may not always reveal substantial abnormalities in the early stages of the illness. It is insufficient to rely solely on the maternal history of herpes infection. Mothers who do not have a previous record of herpes can nevertheless pass on the virus to their new-borns, especially if they have a primary infection close to the time of giving birth. These diagnostic obstacles can cause a delay in the start of antiviral treatment, which is most efficient when given promptly. Delays can result in serious complications, such as widespread disease, central nervous system involvement, and potentially fatal outcomes. Researchers are currently conducting ongoing research to develop diagnostic tests that are faster and more dependable. Furthermore, increased awareness among healthcare practitioners about the vague symptoms of HSV infection can increase clinical suspicion and accelerate investigations. Although there have been notable improvements, the prompt identification and management of new-born HSV infection continue to be difficult. For these susceptible infants, continued efforts to create quick diagnostic tools and increased clinical awareness are essential for improving results.

LUTA PELA LIBERTAÇÃO COLONIAL E GUERRA CIVIL EM ANGOLA
Authors: Filomena César Luciano , Cheron Cibele
Published: September 2024

As trajetórias das nações-estado se vinculam ao processo histórico de formação da consciência nacional em um território. Como tema, nacionalismo é pertencimento a uma comunidade imaginada. Na África, os movimentos de luta pela libertação colonial foram mais recentes. Aconteceram sob o signo da Guerra-Fria, onde o histórico-cultural comum dos povos locais serviu como articulador do nacionalismo contra o colonizador. No entanto, isso não foi suficiente para superar divergências étnico-políticas locais que se reproduziram em antagonismos políticos que se estenderam para além da independência. Esse foi o caso de Angola, nação-estado de língua portuguesa mais importante do continente africano. A pesquisa foca na constituição nacionalismo como elemento promotor da nação-estado de Angola. Nela é feita uma análise do processo histórico de formação nacional desde o período pré-colonial no século XIII, passando pela libertação de Portugal em 1974, chegando à pacificação da nação após anos de guerra civil já no século XXI. Conclui que a pacificação angolana não resultou ainda nos avanços socioeconômicos necessários ao país e, tampouco, possibilitou a formação de uma sociedade civil e a institucionalidade do regime democrático. O que permaneceu foi a ideia de nação sob a hegemonia dos governos do MPLA mediante o domínio que exerce sobre as outras forças políticas internas.

Strategic Engagement with SDGs in China’s Semiconductor Sector: Compliance, Performance Enhancement, and National Policy
Authors: ZHANG Zhu
Published: September 2024

This paper explores how China, as an authoritarian regime, has strategically utilized its private sector to enhance its global image by aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While much of the existing research on state-business relations in China emphasizes state control, this paper sheds light on the often-overlooked symbiotic relationship between the government and private companies. The interplay between state mandates and corporate innovation not only enhances financial performance, as reflected in companies’ equity market valuations, but also elevates China’s global reputation. Drawing on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reports from the top 100 Chinese semiconductor companies, this analysis highlights the role of corporate sustainability efforts in bolstering the country’s global standing. Case studies of firms like SMIC and BYD illustrate the significant advantages of aligning with SDGs, emphasizing the crucial role of China’s “whole-nation system” in promoting sustainable technological advancement. This analysis provides a fresh perspective on the rapid expansion of China’s tech sector and highlights the more nuanced and interdependent relationship between the state and private enterprise.

Published: September 2024

Sambungan las dapat dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan panas yang timbul antara kedua permukaan yang saling begesekan. Jika dua buah benda bergesek secara terus menerus, kemungkinan besar disitu akan timbul energi panas. Jika energi tersebut semakin besar pada kedua permukaan, maka semakin erat ikatan yang akan terjadi pada sambungan. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini betujuan untuk mengetahui  hasil uji tarik dari berbagai variasi putaran spindel dan berapa lama proses las gesek itu akan terjadi. Metode yang digunakan yaitu experimental dimana setiap variasi terdiri dari tiga sampel untuk kemudian dicari rata-ratanya. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga variasi spindel yaitu 700rpm, 1080rpm dan 1600rpm. Dari penelitian ini didapatkanlah data-data sebagai berikut. Kecepatan putar spindel 1600rpm menghasilkan tegangan maksimum yang paling tinggi yaitu sebesar 377,71Mpa, disusul oleh kecepatan putar 1080rpm dengan tegangan maksimum 324,89Mpa dan terakhir pada putaran 700rpm memiliki rata-rata tegangan maksimum sebesar 268,41Mpa. Putaran spindel juga berpengaruh terhadap lamanya waktu pengelasan. Waktu pengelasan yang dibutuhkan jika menggunakan putaran 700rpm yaitu 341,33 detik, sedangkan pada putaran spindel 1080rpm membutuhkan waktu 210,33 detik. Dan yang paling cepat pada putaran spindel 1600rpm yaitu hanay 148,33 detik. Semakin cepat putaran spindel semakin panas permukaan logam sehingga akan  meniggkatkan daya ikat permukaan. Begitu pula pengaruhnya terhadap waktu pengelasan dimana waktu untuk mengelas akan semakin singkat jika putaran spindel yang semakin tinggi.

Penyakit diabetes mellitus ditandai oleh tingginya kadar gula dalam darah, juga dikenal sebagai glukosa, sebagai akibat dari kurangnya atau ketidakmampuan tubuh untuk menggunakan insulin secara efisien. Pada tahun 2021, Federasi Diabetes Internasional (IDF) melaporkan bahwa lima negara memiliki jumlah penderita diabetes mellitus terbanyak di kelompok usia 20 hingga 79 tahun. Dengan 19,5 juta orang yang menderita, Indonesia menempati peringkat kedua. Berbagai upaya telah dilakukan untuk menghentikan perkembangan penyakit ini. Salah satunya adalah penelitian yang menggunakan metode klasifikasi Deep Neural Network (DNN) untuk memprediksi risiko seseorang. Menggunakan dataset dari Puskesmas Mergangsan di Kota Yogyakarta, Provinsi DIY, penelitian ini menggunakan sepuluh variabel: jenis kelamin, merokok, berat badan, tinggi badan, Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT), hipertensi, usia, aktivitas fisik, konsumsi alkohol, dan riwayat penyakit tidak menular. Parameter DNN seperti jumlah lapisan, jumlah neuron, fungsi aktivasi, tingkat pembelajaran, ukuran batch, berat, optimizer, fungsi kehilangan, epoch, dan bias digunakan untuk membangun model prediksi. Metode K 10-fold CV digunakan untuk mempartisi data pelatihan dan uji untuk membuat model prediksi. Hasilnya mencapai 90 persen, 85 persen, 95 persen, dan 89 persen masing-masing dengan menggunakan skor f1, akurasi, presisi, dan recall.

Jumlah data dalam basis data meningkat setiap hari seiring dengan berkembangnya industri teknologi informasi. Basis data relasional (SQL) telah berevolusi sejak diperkenalkannya basis data NoSQL seperti MongoDB dan ArangoDB. Basis data tersebut memiliki fitur yang dapat menggunakan indeks teks untuk pencarian teks dan menyimpan data dalam format JSON/ BSON. Volume data, fleksibilitas struktural, dan kecepatan pencarian adalah masalah umum dalam pemrosesan data. Akibatnya, manajemen data menjadi tidak efektif yang menyebabkan penurunan kinerja basis data. Fokus utama dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melakukan perbandingan respon waktu terhadap pencarian menggunakan teks indeks pada basis data MongoDB dan ArangoDB yang berbasis website guna mempercepat pencarian sehingga mengetahui perbandingan performa kueri antar basis data. Berdasarkan temuan dari 1000, 10000, 100000, dan 1000000 rekaman data didapat kesimpulan bahwa pengindeksan teks MongoDB lebih cepat dibandingkan dengan ArangoDB. Pada pengujian didapatkan hasil pada satu kata kunci selisih kecepatan waktu eksekusi sebesar 170,75ms, untuk dua kata kunci sebesar 205,5ms, dan pada tiga kata kunci sebesar 267,75ms.

Based on the results of the identification of the needs of tourists looking for lodging in the city of Waingapu, there is a lack of spatial information (latitude and longitude), non-spatial (owner's name, price, facilities, address, contact) with the nearest route. Although available on google maps, it is still lacking because it is still incorporated with hotels, boarding houses and other housing. Therefore, a Web-based Geographic Information System for Mapping the Distribution of Homestay Locations in the Waingapu City Area of East Sumba is made to provide recommendations to tourists who need lodging in accessing Homestayinformation by determining the user's location point and the nearest Homestay will appear. Maps will direct to the location of the selected lodging house accompanied by the desired information. This system was built using the PHP programming language with the MySQL Database. The method used in this research is the Waterfall model for system development and Euclidean Distance for the calculation of the closest distance.
