The benefits of market gardening in a context of food insecurity in the commune of Djirataoua in Niger
Authors: Rabo Younoussou , Garba Inoussa Ali , Mahamane Ali
Published: March 2024

Market gardening plays an important role in household food security and is an income-generating activity for market gardeners in the rural commune of Djirataoua. The objective of this study is to study the advantages of market gardening in the district of Djirtaoiua. To achieve this objective, the data collection method mainly involved individual surveys and focus groups on each of the six (6) sites, namely Djirataoua North, Djirataoua South, Kodrewa-Maradou, Radi-Adrewa, RPC (Rural Promotion Center) and Bakaoua. A total of 209 producers representing 5% of the producer workforce. Focus groups were held with the members of the cooperative. The data were processed by the Excel spreadsheet, IBM SPSS statistics 25 and Minitab 18 software for percentage calculations and subjected to the multivariate PCR and AFC statistical tests. The results show that thirteen (13) market gardening crops are grown in the district of Djirataoua. . The most widely grown crops are anise, red pepper, green pepper, onion and tomato. The least commonly grown crops are watermelon, sweet potato, carrot, potato and pepper. Thus, for phytosanitary treatment, chemicals are generally the most used. Thus, this activity has significant socio-economic impacts. The average annual income generated by this activity ranges from less than 200,000 CFA francs to more than 1,000,000 CFA francs. However, market gardeners encounter problems in the practice of this activity. To ensure the smooth running of this activity, solutions such as reducing the cost of the fee, support for agricultural inputs, technical support and the search for outlets for the products are proposed by market gardeners. There is no doubt that market gardening is an alternative to the chronic food insecurity problem experienced by the people of Djirataoua in particular and, in general, the problem of chronic food insecurity.

Reforma agraria y la retórica del Estado democrático del derecho: la experiencia brasileña
Authors: Ribeiro Hélcio
Published: March 2024

Brasil es uno de los países con más extensiones de tierra en el mundo. La concentración de la tierra es un obstáculo al desarrollo económico y social, fuente de conflictos violentos en el campo. El artículo pone en perspectiva la evolución de la legislación de la propiedad de la tierra desde la llegada de los portugueses en América y la creación de un sistema de propiedad que tuvo como consecuencia el latifundio. Las diversas reformas constitucionales y legales no tuvieron resultados, haciendo del instituto de la Reforma Agraria en la Constitución de 1988 un ejercicio de retórica y limitando la efectividad del Estado democrático del derecho.
Una visión indiana de la justicia de la guerra
Authors: Cruz Barney Oscar
Published: March 2024

El artículo examina el ataque de la Corona española contra los pueblos indígenas, a la luz de la premisa tomista de la guerra justa “siempre que sea declarada por autoridad legítima, con justa causa y recta intención”. Tras exponer la biografía de Pedro Murillo, desentraña sus condiciones para llevarla a cabo: causas, participantes, represalias, papel de los inocentes y sus propiedades, destino de los inmuebles y alianzas. Todas ellas justificando la licitud de la acción militar, por ser una herramienta para defender la fe. Menciona el derecho de repartimiento de presas de Juan Francisco de Montemayor, y se refiere a la necesidad de la declaración de guerra, y al derecho postliminio una vez que ha comenzado.

Modernidad y revolución: algunas claves para un estudio histórico del derecho de resistencia
Authors: Pérez Llody Luis Alberto
Published: March 2024

A favor de la libertad pública y el soberano ejercicio de los derechos democráticos, bajo la lógica del Estado moderno, el significado jurídico del derecho de resistencia es determinado por la necesidad de controlar-limitar el poder del Estado —desde sí mismo— y sus autoridades. Los presupuestos teóricos y jurídicos que permiten definir la resistencia política como un derecho fundamental, activo y político que en el decurso de la modernidad fueron consagrados, especialmente desde la experiencia de las revoluciones norteamericana y francesa de fines del siglo XVIII, constituyen los elementos que el presente estudio pretende sistematizar, desde una óptica crítica ehistórica del derecho.

El capitán de navío Echigoien, un masón, lector de libros prohibidos y partidario de Copérnico, ante la Inquisición mexicana
Authors: García-Molina Riquelme Antonio
Published: March 2024

Una de las actividades principales de los tribunales del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición en el siglo XVIII fue la relativa al control de libros. Con ello se pretendía evitar que los católicos quedaran contaminados, no sólo de las llamadas herejías protestantes y doctrinas heterodoxas, sino también de las nuevas ideas, tan características de la época, que afectaban no sólo a la religión, sino también a la política y, concretamente, a la Monarquía de la que la institución era implacable defensora. El trabajo analiza un proceso en el que se manifiesta la actitud del Santo Oficio en relación con tales temas.
Evolución histórica del daño moral a daños punitivos en México
Authors: Flores Ávalos Elvia Lucía
Published: March 2024

El daño moral como lo entendemos hoy en día encuentra sus orígenes en el derecho romano. Sin embargo, una importante evolución se ha dado desde aquel entonces hasta ahora. La evolución del daño moral se ha hecho tanto desde el punto de vista del significado de este término como de las consecuencias de aquel. En efecto, en el derecho romano se hablaba de injuria como daño que se le ocasionara a una persona libre o a sus respectivos bienes. La reparación de este daño era de carácter pecuniario únicamente, ya que se consideraba imposible evaluar el valor de la persona como tal. Es en las Siete Partidas que se da la primera definición concreta del término “daño moral” como “empeoramiento, o menoscabo, o destrucción que el hombre recibe en detrimento en sus cosas, por culpa de otro.” A la fecha, es la definición más cercana a la que encontramos en el código civil. Con la aparición de la Ley Aquilia, el daño moral se empieza a entender como una reparación a los daños pecuniarios afectados (los bienes), y una cantidad para satisfacer el daño moral sufrido. A lo largo de los siglos XIX y XX, los códigos civiles de las entidades federativas en México se reformaron, sumando o restando disposiciones en materia de responsabilidad civil hasta que en el código de 1928 se reguló como tal la materia de daño moral. La última gran reforma que sufrió esta materia fue en 2000, antes de que se creara la Ley de Responsabilidad Civil para la Protección del Derecho a la Vida Privada, el Honor y la Propia Imagen para el Distrito Federal, que a la fecha es la regulación más específica en cuestiones de daño moral.

El presente artículo expone un recorrido de lo general a lo particular para llegar a mostrar algunas de las particularidades de la censura a cargo de la Inquisición de México y el papel que jugó esta institución en su infructuoso intento por detener la difusión y circulación de ideas heterodoxas. A partir de un repaso del estado de la cuestión sobre el tema y el análisis de dos casos concretos —una lista de libros prohibidos y la calificación de un texto satírico— se muestran además las dificultades de la práctica de la censura en la coyuntura histórica del ocaso del virreinato de la Nueva España.
El escribano y la burra: sobre un proceso por delito de bestialidad en el siglo XVIII
Authors: García-Molina Riquelme Antonio M.
Published: March 2024

Las conductas tipificadas como delitos contra natura fueron duramente reprimidas por la legislación del Antiguo Régimen, en virtud al rechazo de que eran objeto por la sociedad y la religión. Tal proceder, sustentado por la doctrina jurídica y la teología moral, llegó, incluso, a afectar negativamente a las garantías procesales de los reos, como se constata al desmenuzar un procedimiento instruido por un delito de bestialidad.

Published: March 2024

Abstract: A mental disability called autism spectrum disorder exhibits specific difficulties with verbal and nonverbal communication, interpersonal skills, and obsessive activities. Around 1% of the total populace is impacted by it, and its side effects frequently show up during the formative stages, or during the initial two years following birth. Autism can be diagnosed at any stage in once life and is said to be a "behavioural disease" because in the first two years of life symptoms usually appear. There hasn't been a strong diagnosis method, though, because there aren't any discernible variations between the facial images of healthy people and those of people with ASD. Machine learning and Deep learning approaches are being used in conjunction with traditional diagnostic procedures to increase the accuracy and turnaround time for diagnoses. In this study, we are looking to build a deep learning model i.e. A Convolution Neural Network that can classify and detect Autism based on facial images. The algorithm involves several key steps, including data collection, pre-processing, model training, and evaluation. This project explores the potential of using deep learning models, specifically VGG16 and VGG19 convolution neural networks (CNNs), for the detection of ASD based on facial images.

Authors: Raj Jayesh , Prasad Dr. Vinita
Published: March 2024

Abstract: This study examines the impact of population growth on the land use pattern of Patna Planning Area, in the context of urban geography. Patna, the capital city of Bihar state in India, has experienced significant population growth over the past few decades, leading to changes in its land use pattern. The objectives of this research include analyzing the historical population growth trends in Patna, identifying the key factors that have contributed to this growth, and assessing its impact on land use. The study takes into account various factors such as residential, industrial, commercial, and agricultural land use, as well as the infrastructural developments associated with population growth. To achieve these objectives, both primary and secondary data sources are utilized. Primary data is collected through surveys, interviews, and observations, while secondary data is obtained from existing literature, government reports, and demographic databases. The findings of this study reveal that the population growth in Patna has led to a changing land use pattern. The expansion of residential areas and the conversion of agricultural land into residential and commercial zones are noted as significant transformations. Additionally, industrial growth has resulted in the emergence of new industrial zones and the conversion of agricultural land into industrial areas in the suburbs. Furthermore, it is observed that population growth has put pressure on infrastructure such as transportation, sewage and water supply systems, leading to the need for their expansion and development. This study highlights the need for urban planning and policies to accommodate the growing population while ensuring sustainable land use.
Financial Modelling of Metal and Mineral Mining Companies in Indonesia using Altman Z-scores
Authors: Nengsih Titin Agustin
Published: March 2024

Predictions about a company's financial condition related to bankruptcy are important information for interested parties, such as creditors, investors, government, auditors, and the company's internal management. This research models the financial condition of metal and mineral mining companies through the Altman Z-Score model and panel data regression analysis. This study focuses on a sample of nine companies involved in metal and mineral mining from 2017 to 2022. In this study, the Altman method was used to determine a company's health category using the Z-score standard. Panel Data Regression modelling showed that the fixed model was the best. The partial test results indicated that WCTA and RETA did not affect the Altman Z-score. However, when considering all the ratios simultaneously (WCTA, RETA, MVBV, and STA), they contribute to predicting a company's financial condition. These results highlight the importance of understanding the variables that influence a company's health and progress. Notably, the variables of WCTA, RETA, and STA play a crucial role in determining the Altman Z-score and contribute to our understanding of a company's financial condition.
Transdisciplinary approach to reduce electricity consumption using system dynamics
Authors: Moosavirad Seyed Hamed , Torabi Amirreza , Mirhosseini Mitra
Published: March 2024

The electricity sector holds a paramount position in Iran's energy landscape and plays a pivotal role in economic decision-making. Data indicates that Iran's average annual energy consumption has surged by approximately 10% each year over the past decade. The transdisciplinary approach to reducing electricity consumption involves an integrated method that goes beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. Consequently, to regulate electricity usage through macro and national strategies, it is imperative to contemplate soft and qualitative methodologies employed in the analysis of socio-economic systems, particularly through the lens of system dynamics. This study aims to scrutinize the influence of diverse socio-cultural policies on diminishing electricity consumption utilizing system dynamics as a transdisciplinary approach. The primary objective of this model is to assess the repercussions of various socio-cultural policies on the forthcoming trajectory. Findings from research conducted in Kerman, a province in Iran, underscore that if the current scenario persists, electricity consumption will persistently escalate over the next decade. However, the results indicate that the implementation of pertinent educational and promotional policies can mitigate the growth rate of electricity consumption.

Authors: Milenkovic Aleksandra , Maric Radmil , Lalovic Nenad , Lukic Ruzica , Pasalic-Alihodzic Alma , Maric Veljko
Published: March 2024

Introduction. Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of the acute
abdomen. Based on the idea that appendicitis is a progressive disease
eventually leading to perforation, removal of the appendix is the gold
standard of treatment. Material and Methods. The objective of the study is
to determine if there is any difference in the occurrence of postoperative
complications, and if hospitalization differs depending on the appendicitis
surgery method used with the patients. A retrospective analysis was made
using the data from the hospital sample of patients admitted to the
University Hospital in Foca in the period from January 2019 to December
2021. Results. In the period that was retrospectively analyzed, 107 patients
diagnosed with acute appendicitis were operated on. There was no
statistically significant difference between the treated groups in relation
to the degree of appendicitis, type and duration of symptoms, diagnostic
procedures and the time that had elapsed from admission to surgery. The
Alverado Score in the probable appendicitis group was 41.1%. The most common
symptoms were palpation sensitivity in the inguinal region (84.1%), and pain
in the right lower quadrant (69.1%), intraoperative findings of
uncomplicated appendicitis 58%, and 25.2% intraoperative findings
inconsistent with the pathohistological ones. Conclusion. Acute appendicitis
is one of the most common emergency surgical conditions, which requires
surgical intervention if not treated in time, and causes life-threatening
consequences. Surgical treatment with selected techniques for faster
establishment of the gastrointestinal tract function, shorter stay in the
hospital, faster recovery and return to daily activities.
Electromyoneurography in the diagnostics of rare causes of carpal tunnel syndrome
Authors: Damjan Igor , Jovin Zita , Zivanovic Zeljko , Popovic Sasa , Njagulj Vesna
Published: March 2024

Introduction. The paper points to the problem of electromyoneurography of the
bifid median nerve as a rare cause of carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel
syndrome represents a set of symptoms caused by compression of the distal
portion of the median nerve. It is important in clinical practice as it
significantly effects the functionality and the quality of daily activities.
One of the predisposing factors for the carpal tunnel syndrome is the bifid
median nerve. Electromyoneurography is still the gold standard for the
verification of the carpal tunnel syndrome. Case Report. A 48-year-old
patient, after a clinical suspicion of carpal tunnel syndrome, has been
confirm by ultrasonography to be suffering from moderate carpal tunnel
syndrome, with a detection of ?incomplete? bifid median nerve in the carpal
tunnel. Electromyoneurography also confirmed a mild level of carpal tunnel
syndrome. However, as difficulties were exclusively present in the
innervation area of the median nerve internal branch, and there was a
possibility of incomplete correlation of electromyoneurography results, the
lumbrical muscles and dorsal interossei muscles were examined, and confirmed
a moderate degree of carpal tunnel syndrome. Discussion. The bifid median
nerve can be the cause of the above insufficient sensitivity of this method,
which is why it is necessary to apply optional electromyoneurographic
techniques. Conclusion. The final practical significance lies in the fact
that the presence of the diagnosed bifid median nerve could affect the
choice and efficiency of certain therapeutical options.
Do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation - ethical aspects

Published: March 2024

Introduction. ?Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation? is a clear
decision not to initiate resuscitation in the final stages of the disease.
This decision shall be made if it is assessed that health will not be
improved after resuscitation, and it can be made by the patient, family, or
the medical team. Informed patient consent - ?Code status?. Informed patient
consent or ?Code status? refers to the type of medical treatment the patient
wants medical personnel to apply or not to apply in case of cardiac arrest.
Patients make a decision about no resuscitated while they are in a situation
to consciously make decisions, or authorize family members or guardians to
make and implement such a decision for them. There might be a problem with
patients and their families not fully understanding the meaning and the
process of resuscitation, the prognosis, risks, and consequences. They do
not understand the terms of short-term and long-term survival rates and
post-resuscitation quality of life. Do not attempt Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation. According to the current guidelines from the European
Resuscitation Council, a joint decision on cardiopulmonary resuscitation
planned in advance should be the first priority from the ethical standpoint.
The decision-making team should take into account the patient?s wishes when
making the decision about cardiopulmonary resuscitation, thus, the
end-of-life discussions with patients are necessary. The practice of ethics.
It is necessary to know when to start and when to stop with cardiopulmonary
resuscitation. Several criteria need to be taken into account when making a
decision not to initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation. One unambiguous
criterion is the safety of the rescuer. Conclusion. Continuous research is
also needed to improve knowledge in this area and facilitate decision-making
and improve post-resuscitation survival and quality of life for these
patients.
Research on combustion visualization of coal-fired boilers based on thermal imaging technology
Authors: Zhang Zi-Guo , Pan Liang , Wang Hao
Published: March 2024

At present, there?s a lack of combustion visualization in the combustion control of heating boilers. To understand the combustion of coal in the furnace, only experienced workers can observe it through visual inspection. Using infrared thermal imaging technology to monitor the combustion can realize combustion visualization. This paper analyzed and solved two problems: the installation position and number of infrared cameras, and the infeasible of using infrared cameras observing the combustion condition in the furnace through heat-resistant glass. Monitored parameters such as oxygen content, furnace temperature and smoke exhaust temperature, and monitored the concentration of PM, NOx, and SO2 in the main atmospheric pollutants in the flue gas. After calculation, the air leakage coefficient when the inspection doors are opened for observation is 0.04. This value still includes the sum of air leakage from coal hopper, furnace door, grate side seal, peep holes and other parts. The monitored average emission concentration of PM decreased by 16.28%, from which we can concluded that the use of thermal imaging technology to monitor the combustion in the furnace is conducive to emission reduction. The application of thermal imaging technology implementation of coal-fired boiler combustion visualization is feasible.
Numerical simulation of CO2 absorption by AMP solution in structured packing with different parameter condition
Authors: Zuo Xu , Kao Hongtao
Published: March 2024

The FLUENT software is utilized in this research to simulate the CO2 absorption process by 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propyl (AMP) alcohol through numerical simulation. A mathematical model is established to represent the mass transfer process between the AMP alcohol solution and CO2. Various operating parameters, such as the molar fraction of the solution, gas mass fraction, pressure, and gas-flow velocity, are investigated to calculate the absorption efficiency of CO2 under different conditions. The distribution of the product reveals that the AMP alcohol carbamate product more readily infiltrates the surface of the unit model when the gas phase velocity is relatively low. In contrast, the product AMP alcohol carbamate tends to accumulate in the upper half of the unit model when the gas phase velocity is relatively high. Sixteen simulation conditions are summarized to determine the optimal parameters. These optimal parameters include a AMP alcohol molar fraction of 0.4, atmospheric pressure, a flue gas-flow velocity of 0.0737 m/s, and a CO2 mass fraction of 0.12. This research serves as a valuable reference for engineering applications related to CO2 absorption using AMP alcohol solutions, providing essential technical support in the fight against climate change.
Generalidades sobre métodos de desinfección mediante radiación UV
Authors: Amézquita-Tovar Juan Carlos , Carvajal-Ahumada Luis Armando
Published: March 2024

La descontaminación por radiación ultravioleta es un método de descontaminación sin contacto que se presenta como una buena alternativa, en tanto que realiza inactivación rápida y eficiente de virus y bacterias, según estudios de hasta un 90% de estos microorganismos desactivados. Cuando las bacterias, protozoos y virus son expuestos a la luz ultravioleta no son capaces de reproducirse, a diferencia de los métodos químicos que se utilizan para la desinfección de aguas, alimentos, superficies o artículos quirúrgicos. Básicamente la luz UV logra desnaturalizar el DNA y RNA que constituye el virus inhabilitando su capacidad de replicación. El presente documento es una revisión de la literatura respecto a las generalidades de los sistemas de desinfección mediante radiación de luz ultra violeta (UV). Igualmente realiza una comparación de este sistema con otros sistemas de desinfección sin contacto como el sistema de vapor de peróxido de hidrogeno en donde se aprecia que los sistemas de desinfección UV tienen menos desventajas que este, no obstante es importante resaltar que los sistemas de desinfección UV deben utilizarse sin presencia de personas o con personal con prendas de seguridad, debido a que la radiación UV-C tiene efectos perjudiciales para la salud cuando se tiene una exposición directa, de acuerdo a la programa nacional de toxicología este tipo de radiación es clasificada como un probable carcinógeno humano.

The northern region of the Amazon of Ecuador is known as the oil subregion, an ecological space that represents the main development and modernity project executed by the State. Strategy that integrated vast areas of humid forests into a model of progress, modernity and global markets. This way of imagining the jungle and its inhabitants legitimized abusive intervention practices, forms of exploitation of nature and a chaotic territorial occupation, however, it determined a particular identity of the Amazonian settler-peasant. Competition for resources and territories has generated multiple social and environmental conflicts and violent encounters with native populations.
Combinational CO2 and Polymer Injections for EOR and CO2 Storage in Depleted Reservoirs: A Mini Review on Laboratory, Simulation and Field Studies
Authors: A Livinus
Published: March 2024

Water-alternating-gas is commonly used in most of the existing enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects in the world to regulate gas mobility and reduce fingering problems. Unfortunately, the expected recovery factor from most of the fields could not be attained with such EOR method. Development strategies of mature oil fields during the energy transition period may therefore involve the combination of polymer and CO2 injections to achieve incremental oil recovery and at the same time provide longterm geological storage solution for carbon. This paper therefore presents overview of the processes of polymer and CO2 floodings, and then highlights the overall benefits to be derived from the combination of CO2 and polymer flooding techniques in depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, especially oil reservoirs. Reviews on studies related to the combinational CO2 and polymer injections are then carried out. Highlights of areas of the combinational CO2 and polymer injections needing more attention are also mentioned.
Schedule Immunotherapy of Cancer; Current Status and Prospectus
Authors: MN Khan
Published: March 2024

In the past decades, our knowledge about the relationship between cancer and the immune system has increased considerably. Immunotherapy has been a promising and rapidly evolving field in cancer treatment. However, keep in mind that the information might have advanced since then. Drugs like pembrolizumab and nivolumab, which target PD-1/PD-L1 pathways, have shown success in treating various cancers. These drugs release the brakes on the immune system, allowing it to better recognize and attack cancer cells. This involves harvesting and modifying a patient’s immune cells outside the body before infusing them back to target cancer cells. Researchers are exploring combinations of different immunotherapies and traditional treatments to enhance effectiveness and overcome resistance. Efforts to identify predictive biomarkers aim to personalize immunotherapy, ensuring it benefits patients who are most likely to respond. In summary, immunotherapy has made significant strides in cancer treatment, with ongoing research focusing on refining existing therapies, discovering new targets, and expanding the range of treatable cancers. The prospectus is promising, but addressing challenges remains critical for realizing the full potential of immunotherapy in the fight against cancer.

However, no research has been conducted on its use with linguistic landscape (LL) as a pedagogical tool in primary schools. This study was therefore conducted to look into the use of PjBL with LL for language practices and values in primary school. The purpose is to analyse the kinds of PjBL incorporating LL conducted, the teaching procedures implemented, the competencies and values promoted, and teachers’ opinions about its use for primary school. The study used a mixed-methods design that relied heavily on qualitative description and was supplemented with quantitative analysis. The study was conducted at a primary school, which was selected using the purposive sampling technique. Six teachers, six experts and students of grades 4, 5, and 6 teachers were involved. The amount of 520 LL was collected during the year 2022 using direct observation, questionnaire, interviews, and document study analysis. The data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results show that PjBL of various kinds (PLS projects, legacy students’ projects, event-based and annual projects) has been incorporated into LL for language instruction. The teacher needs to prepare, introduce the concept of LL, allow students to observe and analyze the tasks, have discussions, design and creation, presentation and display, and reflection as the teaching procedure.  Multifaceted competence and values are promoted. The teachers and experts have positive opinions about it. The study implied that PjBL with LL is very beneficial for language practices and character values.

However, implementing HOTS-based questions is rarely used by teachers who have or have not held professional status. This study analyzes teachers' difficulties in compiling HOTS-based questions regarding professional status. This study used a descriptive quantitative approach. The population in this study were all teachers in Cluster. Sampling in this study was carried out by cluster sampling, then proportional random sampling in each Cluster. The sample in this study was 34 teachers, who were divided into two groups, namely teachers who had not yet held professional status and had. Data collection used an instrument in the form of a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in mean, standard deviation, and percentages converted to PAP. The results of this study were that teachers who are not yet professional in compiled HOTS-based questions were in the very high category, while the difficulties of teachers who already hold professional status in compiled HOTS-based questions were in the high category. Teachers who are not yet professional in compiling HOTS-based questions have difficulty understanding cognitive levels, determining cognitive levels, choosing KKO, and compiling contextual stimuli. For teachers with professional status, the difficulties experienced are chosen KKO, compiled contextual stimuli, and compiled stimuli that are easy for students to understand.
