Pastoreo de camélidos y organización territorial en la comunidad originaria de Chacaltaya
Authors: Poma Wilson
Published: August 2024

La comunidad campesina no es una organización detenida en el tiempo, es una organización dinámica que apuesta a emprender, a especializarse en diferentes ramas del agro, en ganadería, en lechería, en camélidos y otros. La comunidad originaria de Chacaltaya, en el departamento de La Paz, Bolivia, tiene una larga trayectoria -desde 1853- en la crianza de camélidos (llamas y alpacas) y esta actividad repercute en su organización territorial. El artículo pretende conocer la organización territorial de una comunidad especializada en la crianza de camélidos. Para esto, metodológicamente, se optó por un trabajo cualitativo-etnográfico, acompañado de entrevistas informales y seguimiento de casos. Estos son el fundamento empírico de los hallazgos, donde se presentarán mapas a partir de un mapeo social. El artículo concluye, con base en los hallazgos, que Chacaltaya mantiene una organización territorial basada en sayañas familiares y áreas compartidas; esta posesión es dinámica, ya que las dimensiones/fronteras entre sayañas y áreas compartidas son definidas por el uso continuo, lo cual llega a proteger y poner en vigencia límites familiares como comunales.
Bolivianas con hijab: mujer, género e islam
Authors: Frias Nogales Amanda
Published: August 2024

En Bolivia, la diversidad religiosa es un tema poco estudiado. Durante el trabajo de investigación, se aplicó la metodología cualitativa, usando la observación participante entre 2015-2020 en las tres comunidades musulmanas de la ciudad de La Paz, incluyendo entrevistas en profundidad a miembros de las diferentes comunidades musulmanas. El objetivo central es examinar la participación y la posición de las mujeres dentro de estos espacios religiosos, el cómo ellas construyen y negocian su identidad con sus espacios cotidianos. Se concluye que las mujeres en las comunidades islámicas toman un rol protagónico que fortalece a la práctica y vida comunitaria y son quienes cargan el mayor peso simbólico, posicionando al islam en el espacio público urbano, permitiendo su incremento, todo ello coadyuvado por las lecturas de la doctrina con perspectivas positivas sobre el rol de las mujeres.
Resignificando espacios y relaciones. Voces de docentes sobre la convivencia en la escuela en tiempos de pandemia, de Lucía Elena Rodríguez Mc Keon
Authors: Barrios Barrios Johnny V.
Published: August 2024

Los retos educativos del siglo XXI demandan reflexiones comprometidas sobre la manera en que se deben concebir los procesos de formación desde una perspectiva integral, es decir, considerando las relaciones del estudiante, el docente, la organización institucional y el espacio donde se desarrolla su convivencia: la escuela. No obstante, comprender este relacionamiento no es una tarea fácil. Crisis como la de la pandemia del covid-19 (2020-2022) ha interpelado prácticas y conceptos educativos cuando no su propia significación como espacio privilegiado de la enseñanza formal. Como se sabe, la dinámica educativa está regularmente influenciada por factores que tienen una fuerte incidencia en su desenvolvimiento, ampliación o estancamiento. Por un lado, la dinámica generacional en un contexto que sufre cambios constantes (factor espacio-temporal) y, por otro, las condicionantes exógenas que le son inherentes: orientación político-ideológica, déficit económico, demandas sociales y cambios culturales (factor humano). A esto se suman las alteraciones en las condiciones de salubridad que impactan esa dinámica educacional y se extienden al espacio escolar y sus comunidades, las cuales -como sostienen Rodríguez Mc Keon y Cuevas en el presente libro- son retadas por la mayor o menor incidencia de estos factores, lo que obliga a revisar continuamente sus códigos pedagógicos.

Is Knowledge Required? Analysing the High Court of Australia’s Decision in R v Rohan
Authors: Herszberg Arieh
Published: August 2024

The High Court of Australia’s decision in R v Rohan addresses critical aspects of complicity in criminal offences under the Crimes Act 1958 (Vic). The case involved Rohan and two co-accused charged with supplying drugs and committing sexual offences against minors. The primary legal issue was whether the prosecution needed to prove that the accused knew the victims’ ages to establish guilt under sections 323 and 324 of the Crimes Act 1958 (Vic). The High Court ruled that such knowledge was unnecessary, focusing instead on the agreement to commit the acts constituting the offence. This decision broadens the scope of criminal liability to include those involved in joint criminal enterprises, regardless of their awareness of specific details. The ruling has significant implications for prosecutorial strategies and the interpretation of complicity laws, reinforcing the attitude that involvement in a criminal agreement suffices for liability.

Published: August 2024

Despite the growing prominence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in the education landscape, there is limited research regarding its acceptance in the Philippines. Hence, the researchers studied the intention to use and acceptance of GenAI among college students and educators at Bulacan State University utilizing the constructs from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology framework. The study employed a quantitative approach through a survey questionnaire and interviews to gather actionable insights. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to investigate how the constructs affect the college students' intention to use and acceptance of GenAI while the Welch's t-test was used to determine if a significant difference exists in their acceptance of GenAI. The findings revealed that 85.84% college students used GenAI while 76.11% educators used the tool. Moreover, both groups demonstrated a moderate knowledge of GenAI's limitations, with Welch's t-test revealing no significant difference exists in their acceptance levels of GenAI. Key findings showcase that effort expectancy and behavioral intention affect the acceptance of college students on GenAI tools, while performance expectancy and facilitating conditions affect their behavioral intention. However, social influence does not significantly affect their intention to use and acceptance of GenAI. Out of all factors, only facilitating conditions displayed a significant total effect on their GenAI acceptance, revealing the importance of the institution's role regarding this technology.

Authors: Tang Shiyu , Huang Houbing
Published: August 2024

Ferroelectric materials, characterized by their high dielectric constants, piezoelectricity, and pyroelectricity, find numerous applications in electronic products such as computer memory, highly sensitive sensors, and sonar devices. Additionally, they hold potential applications in fields like solid-state refrigeration, with their performance often closely linked to their microstructural evolution, including phase transitions and domain switching. Phase-field methods serve as highly advantageous tools for exploring, revealing, and predicting mesoscale ferroelectric domain evolution. Within ferroelectric phase-field models, diverse types of domain structures of ferroelectric materials, such as bulk single crystals and thin films, can be simulated by setting different mechanical and electrical boundary conditions. Various types of ferroelectric phase transitions can also be studied by setting conditions in the models such as temperature variations and the application of external electric fields. Furthermore, by applying external electrical or mechanical stimuli in the phase-field models, behaviors such as ferroelectric domain switching can be observed. Here we first outline the fundamental framework of phase-field models, followed by a comprehensive overview of various phase transitions in ferroelectric materials, including ferroelectric-to-paraelectric and antiferroelectric-to-ferroelectric transitions. Additionally, the review summarizes how phase-field models facilitate the induction of ferroelectric domain switching through various experimental stimuli, including electric fields and mechanical fields. This review concludes by summarizing and prospecting potential new applications of the phase-field method in the study of ferroelectric phase transitions and domain switching.
India’s Policy of De-hyphenation in an Emerging Multipolar World Order
Authors: Sujith R
Published: August 2024

This research article examines the transformation of India’s foreign policy, particularly the policy of de-hyphenation in this emerging multipolar world order. In the post-Cold War period, the global power dynamics shifted significantly. The global order has moved away from a unipolar world dominated by a single superpower, namely the United States of America (USA), towards a more complex and diverse landscape of multi-polar world order. The beginning of the third decade of the 21st century has been marked by significant events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Palestine escalation, and the multiple conflicts between the United States and China in various fields. Moreover, the emergence of new alliance systems such as Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), BRICS, QUAD, I2U2 and more are contributing further to global power politics. In 2014, a political leadership shift occurred in India, which subsequently led to a paradigm shift in its foreign policy approach. India has adopted various strategic initiatives to navigate this new global power structure, including Panchamrit, multi-alignment, strategic autonomy, and more. However, in this new global order, the East and West are divided on various issues, which has also been reflected in the new alliance mechanisms. In contrast, India has been able to make a strategic position in both East and West by being part of both alliances. In summary, this research paper comprehensively examines India’s policy of de-hyphenation in the emerging multipolar world order. Keywords De­hyphenation, Multi Polarity, Global order, Multi­alignment, Strategic autonomy, Panchamrit

Authors: Long Siyu , Choi Won-Ho
Published: August 2024

By comparing Chinese and Korean animated films, this study expounds the cultural transmission of music narration in Chinese and Korean animated films, and reveals how music, as an important medium, expresses and transmits the cultural characteristics of each country in animation production. The study found that the music of Chinese animated films usually pays attention to the reproduction of historical depth and tradition, emphasizing the classical and emotional depth of the story, and the musical style is often closely connected with Chinese literary and philosophical traditions, showing poetry and symbolism. In contrast, the music of Korean animation emphasizes the integration of modernity and tradition, which reflects Korea's modern interpretation of local culture in the context of globalization, and tends to use a direct and modern musical style, reflecting the rapid change of Korean culture and the attitude of opening up to the outside world. The study emphasizes the central role of music in cross-cultural communication and animation art, and provides a new perspective on the application of animation music narrative strategies in global cultural communication.

Published: August 2024

This study develops optimal restocking and pricing strategies for vegetables in supermarkets to reduce significant post-harvest losses in China, which currently result in losses exceeding 100 billion yuan annually. By employing cost-plus pricing, ridge regression, and support vector regression (SVR), this research analyzed the relationship between pricing and sales volumes for various vegetable categories. Predictive models for the week of July 1-7, 2023, indicated a consistent markup rate of about 58%, confirming the reliability of the models. For single-item analysis, both a greedy algorithm and elastic net regression were used. The greedy algorithm corrected loss rates and sales quantities to maximize profit, while the elastic net regression addressed multicollinearity and overfitting issues, leading to more accurate sales predictions. Integrating these approaches effectively predicted sales and optimized supermarket restocking and pricing strategies. The findings showed significant improvements in expected profits, validating the effectiveness of these combined models. This research demonstrates the potential for advanced analytical techniques to enhance supermarket operations, reduce waste, and better meet consumer demand.
Scalable Multi-View Stereo Camera Array for Real-Time Image Capture and 3D Display in Real-World Applications
Authors: Zhou Ren
Published: August 2024

3D display technology has advanced, finding applications in entertainment, healthcare, and education. However, existing multi-view content capture devices are limited by their reliance on single-camera setups or synthetic animations, constraining their flexibility and application range. This study proposes a scalable multi-view stereo camera array for real-time image capture and 3D display. The system uses 16 CMOS cameras, each with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, to synchronously capture multi-view images at 30 frames per second. Innovations include improved image calibration and geometric correction algorithms, completing each set of image calibration within 0.5 seconds with geometric correction accuracy of 0.1 pixels. The system also incorporates AI-based object tracking, capable of tracking targets moving at speeds up to 5 meters per second with 90% accuracy, and high-speed data transmission to ensure real-time image transfer with latency below 1 second. AI algorithms enhance performance in image calibration and object tracking. Machine learning techniques improve geometric correction accuracy and efficiency, while deep learning models ensure robust tracking in dynamic scenes. This system overcomes limitations of traditional single-camera setups and synthetic animations, offering improved capture efficiency and higher quality 3D images. It shows potential in multi-view facial recognition, stereo surgical training, and drone stereo monitoring. Future research will optimize image calibration and geometric correction algorithms, enhance object tracking stability, and explore additional application scenarios to improve system practicality and reliability.
The Influence of Emotion Valence Words on False Memory in Bilinguals: A Comparison between Native and Non-Native Language
Authors: Guo Shiyu
Published: August 2024

False memory has been widely studied in the field of Cognitive Psychology. This study investigated the impact of emotion valence on the false memory vulnerability of bilinguals in native and non-native languages using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. Participants were randomly assigned to native and non-native language conditions, presented with both positive and negative emotion valence word lists, and completed recognition tasks. The main effect of language on false memory vulnerability has been found, with a consistently higher false memory rate in the native language regardless of emotion valence. However, the impact of emotional valence on false memory vulnerability was not found. The observed linguistic effect could be attributed to differences in emotion perception between native and non-native languages. This study contributes to the understanding of the potential interaction of language and emotion on the memory process of bilinguals.

Authors: Chen Bo , Cao Tuokai , Yao Lidong
Published: August 2024

In order to improve the multi-step prediction accuracy of dissolved oxygen in rivers, this paper proposes a multi-step prediction model for dissolved oxygen in rivers based on the combination of STL-LSTM and multi input multi output strategy (STL-MIMO-LSTM). Firstly, the dissolved oxygen is decomposed into trend, seasonal, and residual components using the Seasonal and Trend decomposition using Loess (STL) method to enhance data features. Then, the model is constructed using the multi-input multi-output strategy (MIMO) combined with the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model; Finally, the LSTM model was applied to the prediction experiment of dissolved oxygen in the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The experimental results show that the mean absolute error (MAE) of the STL-MOMO-LSTM model in the next 4 steps is 0.07, 0.1024, 0.1211, 0.1319, and the mean square error (MSE) is 0.0134, 0.0288, 0.0399, 0.0467. Except for the first time step, the prediction accuracy is better than the recursive and direct multi-step prediction models. The MSE prediction accuracy decay rates of STL-MIMO-LSTM for he 2nd, 3rd, and 4th time steps are 1.1496%, 0.3878%, and 0.1688%, respectively, which are lower than other models for the 2nd and 3rd-time steps, while slightly higher than the STL-DIRECT-LSTM model (0.1501%) for 4th-time steps. Therefore, the model exhibits high prediction accuracy and stable prediction performance, can effectively predict the future trend of dissolved oxygen, and provide references for river water quality management.

Published: August 2024

People who change their gender after birth are known as transgender people. They underwent surgical transformation along with hormonal therapy. Hormonal imbalance is the most common phenomenon in the transgender community due to hormonal therapy and other related issues. Hormonal therapy is essential for gender transformation, but this therapy poses several risks to the individual who is taking this therapy. Transgender people who are under hormonal therapy are more at risk of cardiovascular disorders as certain hormones like estrogen and testosterone, besides their intended function, also induce side effects, due to which individuals taking these hormones become more prone to cardiovascular disorder, irregular blood pressure, brain function, and structure start changing. The cross-sex hormone therapy is also associated with brain tumors, changes in body mass index, and several skin conditions. Such hormones also affect bone density in different individuals due to changes in the deposition pattern of calcium into the bone under hormonal control. Hormonal therapy causes certain metabolic disorders as well, and certain hormones interact with other hormones in a different way when they are not naturally produced in the body. The voice of such people undergoing gender transformation also changes due to the testosterone level. This review summarizes some aspects of hormonal therapy, but whether or not a person undergoes such transition is their choice.

Published: August 2024

Shiga toxin-producing E. coli is a definitive strain of the very commensal microbe Escherichia coli. It is a resident of the vertebrate gut with hundreds of microbial colonies that comprise the versatile gut microbiome. Stx is a toxin, which is a protein in nature that has evolved in such a way that it can specifically target a host cell and deliver a payload inside the target cell's cytosol. These pathogens can trigger complications such as thrombotic microangiopathy and acute kidney injury. It is transmitted by food consumed in raw form (salads, milk, and curd), floods, contaminated ponds, and petting farms. Ruminants, floods, zoo fauna, and untreated sewage water were found to be the primary sources of STEC reservoirs nationally. Alarmingly, there is a high prevalence of neonatal diarrhea in Pakistan. Antibiotics are devoured in STEC-caused infections, especially. Diarrhea, as they aggravate the toxin production. Plant extracts and chemical purification methods have shown potential for shiga toxins reduction. Application of biosafety measurements can significantly reduce the chances of infection in developing countries, including Pakistan.
Nutrology and molecular state of art in muscle recovery and sports performance: a systematic review
Authors: Castro Bruno Rocha de , Castro Keylle Vieira de Queiroz , Castro Diogo Rocha de
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Nutrition makes it possible to recover from the negative impact of an injury induced by physical exercise. Recent progress has been made regarding gut microbiota, regenerative nutrition, and skeletal muscle metabolism. MicroRNAs (miRs) have emerged as critical regulators of numerous biological processes, modulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Objective: It was to carry out a systematic review to elucidate the main considerations of nutrology and molecular state of art through exosomes, microRNAs, and nutrients in muscle recovery and sports performance. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The research was carried out from April to June 2023 in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 237 articles were found. A total of 107 articles were evaluated in full and 52 were included and developed in this systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 47 studies with a high risk of bias and 70 studies that did not meet GRADE. Based on the findings, it was concluded that dietary manipulations and metabolites may affect tissue stem cell fate decisions. Self-renewal and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells can be regulated by manipulating vitamin C, A, or D levels and valine restriction. miRs play an important role as regulatory molecules during the muscle healing process. Myoblasts are known to secrete exosomes enriched with miRs into the inflammatory environment, whereby miR-224 is transferred to macrophages to inhibit M2 polarization. Additional data demonstrate that WNT-9a may be a direct target of miR224 for macrophage polarization. The results showed that miR-122 and myogenic markers were down-regulated in C2C12 cells after TGF-β stimulation, and overexpression of miR-122 can restore myogenesis inhibited by TGF-β. Evidence suggests that the exosome derived from mesenchymal stem cells exhibits functions similar to mesenchymal stem cells with low immunogenicity and without tumorization. High rates of intestinal self-renewal are enabled by intestinal stem cells (LGR5+) at the base of intestinal crypts. LGR5+ activity, including proliferation and differentiation rates, is affected by large shifts in nutrient availability, as occurs on a high-fat diet or fasting. The practice of physical activity, endogenous metabolites, and dietary nutrients can directly influence epigenetic enzymes.

Published: August 2024

Background: Academic stress significantly influences students' mental and physical health. Despite extensive research on its psychological effects, the impact on oral health, particularly temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and bruxism, remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by investigating the correlation between academic stress, TMD, and bruxism, emphasizing gender differences among Palestinian university students.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey involving 10,000 students from the University of Palestine. Participants responded to a structured questionnaire assessing the prevalence of TMD and bruxism symptoms and their perceived academic stress levels. We utilized chi-square tests and logistic regression, controlling for age, gender, and academic year, to analyze the data.
Results: The findings indicate a robust association between heightened academic stress and increased reports of bruxism and TMD, particularly among female students. These conditions were more prevalent among upper-year students, suggesting a link with escalating academic obligations and stress.
Conclusions: Academic stress is a critical factor affecting oral health, manifesting in significant bruxism and TMD prevalence, especially in female students and those in later academic stages. The study underscores the necessity for targeted stress management and oral health initiatives within academic settings.

Published: August 2024

The global surge in obesity is emerging as a significant contemporary public health challenge, linked with an elevated occurrence of cardiovascular risks like hypertension. Obesity exacerbates the complexity of managing resistant hypertension, as it not only increases the prevalence of hypertension but also contributes to medication resistance. Renal denervation (RDN) stands as a potential approach to address resistant hypertension (RH). A systematic search was conducted through PubMed, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library selecting RCT studies until August 2023. The RCTs showed the long term effect of renal denervation on ambulatory blood pressure in individuals with both obesity and resistant hypertension. Meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4 software. There were 9 included RCTs with total 1056 resistant hypertensive patients. Meta-analysis of the difference in changes in ambulatory systolic blood pressure was performed in nine available studies. Renal denervation showed significant ambulatory systolic blood pressure reduction (Mean Difference [MD]: -2.30; 95% CI: -4.34, -0.27; p = 0.03) and non-significant ambulatory diastolic blood pressure reduction (Mean Difference [MD]: -1.07; 95% CI: -2.94, 0.8; p = 0.26). RDN could be an additional treatment for resistant hypertension patients. RDN is not recommended to be performed routinely and not recommended for patients with secondary hypertension or eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2.

Python is a free, cross-platform, easily extensible, and concise programming language, as well as a suitable tool for data analysis, mining, and visualization. In response to the teaching situation of Python programming courses with strong practical experience, limited class hours, and differences in student levels, various teaching methods such as online learning, group projects, and case teaching are integrated to enable students to acquire more comprehensive knowledge and skills in their learning. The practical results show that blended teaching mode helps promote teachers' auxiliary "teaching" and students' active "learning", effectively stimulates students' learning interest, cultivates their practical application ability and teamwork ability, and achieves good teaching results.

Published: August 2024

INTRODUÇÃO: A profilaxia pré-exposição ao HIV (PrEP) é uma terapia farmacológica profilática fornecida pelo Sistema Único de Saúde, utilizada como estratégia de controle e prevenção ao HIV e atualmente pode ser prescrita por médicos, enfermeiros e farmacêuticos. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o cenário brasileiro, com ênfase no Ceará, no tocante a atuação do farmacêutico enquanto prescritor da PrEP. METODOLOGIA: Foram utilizados dados de domínio público divulgados pelo Ministério da Saúde, através da plataforma Painel PrEP. RESULTADOS: Há registros da prescrição farmacêutica no âmbito do HIV em 24 estados do Brasil, com  exceção de Alagoas, Distrito Federal e Rondônia. No estado cearense, a atividade acontece apenas em 27% dos municípios que possuem unidades dispensadoras de medicamentos, com maior concentração na cidade de Fortaleza. Na literatura, o desconhecimento dos usuários a respeito da atividade de prescrever pelo profissional de farmácia e o receio da própria classe culminam na dificuldade de consolidação da prática. CONCLUSÃO: Observou-se uma participação crescente e gradativa do farmacêutico na prescrição de profilaxias para o HIV, apesar da urgência em investimento e disseminação de informação a respeito da atividade, como forma de alcançar um maior público.
