Authors: Nur Aulia Elsa Silvia , Jati Gumawang , Wibowo Indra , Muhammad Hubbi Nashrullah , Saepudin Epin
Published: November 2024

Stunting, a significant public health issue in Indonesia, adversely affects both child development and the country's economic well-being. This study investigates how AI- powered chatbots could enhance dietary advice and lower Indonesia's stunting rates. Owing to the restricted availability of certified nutritionists and the pervasiveness of mobile devices, chatbots present a scalable and convenient means of providing customized dietary advice. To properly study this topic and provide a comprehensive understanding of the situation, this study employs a quantitative approach using surveys and statistical analysis. The results suggest that chatbots driven by AI have the potential to resolve nutritional counseling issues in Indonesia; 80% of participants have prior experience utilizing chatbots. However, user needs, cultural context, and technology constraints must all be carefully considered for successful implementation. These findings indicate that implementing AI-powered chatbots is a promising strategy to significantly reduce stunting rates in Indonesian children in the process. Future research should concentrate on the development and evaluation of culturally appropriate andevidence-based chatbot interventions for potential use.
Exploring Cyberculture: A Virtual Ethnographic Perspective on Generation Z Slang on TikTok
Authors: Nurhayati Iis Kurnia , Putri Aliyya Rahma
Published: November 2024

Generation Z frequently uses slang as a communication medium for daily conversations due to the proliferation of social media. People typically blend various language variations for communication, whether in real-world interactions or in the virtual realm. One such interaction in the virtual world using slang occurs on the TikTok application, both in content creation and in the comment section. This interaction has transformed slang into a cyberculture, facilitating the exchange of identities in cyberspace. This research utilizes a virtual ethnography approach, incorporating four levels of cyber media analysis, to investigate the usage of slang by Generation Z on the TikTok application at various levels. Through observation and interviews with TikTok content creators and Generation Z users, researchers found several types of slang that have become cultural artifacts on the TikTok application, including slang derived from foreign languages, acronyms, abbreviations, and reversed words, as well as slang borrowed from foreign languages. The interactions occurring on the TikTok application also have real-world effects on the informants, such as experiences, relationships, and changes in daily communication habits due to the presence of slang.

ANALYSIS OF THE LACK OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COST SYSTEM IN A PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION
Authors: Dantas Luiz Antonio de Oliveira , Forte Denis , Kadri Nadia Wagih El
Published: November 2024

Objective: This article aims to analyze the impacts of the non-implementation of an efficient costing system in a Brazilian public higher education institution (HEI) and propose recovery strategies based on the Spanish Costing Model (SCM). Methodology: The research follows a qualitative approach, using descriptive and exploratory methods. Data collection included documentary analysis, semi-structured interviews with managers and employees, and participant observation of the HEI's administrative and financial processes. Gap: Despite the detailed recommendations and benefits projected by the study "Analysis of student costs as a tool for managerial decision-making in a public higher education institution" by Luiz Antonio de Oliveira Dantas (2022), the Brazilian public HEI analyzed, which did not authorize the disclosure of its name, did not adopt these practices, resulting in ineffective management and deterioration in the quality of services. Results and Contributions: The analysis revealed that the absence of an efficient costing system led to financial mismanagement, operational inefficiency, a decline in the quality of services, and a lack of transparency. The late implementation of the MCE proved effective in reversing these problems, improving resource allocation, operational efficiency, and service quality. This study contributes to the academic literature by demonstrating the importance of standardized cost systems for the sustainability of public HEIs. Relevance: This study reinforces the critical importance of efficient cost systems for financial management and service quality in public HEIs, offering valuable insights for managers and policy makers. Impact: The experience of the studied HEI serves as a guide for other institutions facing similar challenges, highlighting the need for continuous capacity building and adoption of efficient cost management practices to ensure financial sustainability and transparency.

FT-IR Analysis of pH and Xylitol Driven Conformational Changes of Ovalbumin–Amide VI Band Study
Authors: Kandasamy Swenthira , Palanisamy Agalya , Veerappan Velusamy
Published: November 2024

Globular protein ovalbumin (OV) contains four secondary structural conformations: α-helix, β-sheet, β-turn, and random coils. The transition between these conformational changes of proteins can be obtained by changes in various chemical and physical processes, including but not limited to heat, pressure, pH, adding cosolvent, and radiation exposure. The conformational changes are being well studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectroscopy, including various spectral regions such as amide A, amide B, and amide I to amide VII. The present study deals with the amide VI band (590–490 cm–1) analysis of OV conformational changes that occurred by varying pHs in the presence of cosolvent xylitol (XY). The obtained result indicates that α-helix to β-sheet transformation favor at pH 2, whereas β-sheet to β-turn transformation favor at pH 12. The neutral pH 7 favors both β-sheet as well as β-turn structures. These results confirmed that the noncovalent interactions contribute a major role in the conformational changes of OV.

Acercamiento teórico a los conceptos de la agencia docente y la satisfacción laboral
Authors: Fierros Pesqueira Emma Lilia , Espinosa Guillen Sergio Samuel
Published: November 2024

El acercamiento teórico a los conceptos de la agencia docente y la satisfacción laboral busca las interrelaciones que existen entre ambos temas. La agencia docente concibe a los profesores como individuos que se apropian y reconstruyen los recursos que han desarrollado y puesto a su disposición al mismo tiempo que remodelan esos recursos para enfrentar nuevos desafíos; integrada por tres dimensiones que actúan simultáneamente: interactiva, proactiva y práctica-evaluativa. Por su parte, la satisfacción laboral es un concepto globalizador, referente a las actitudes de las personas hacia diversos aspectos de su trabajo, como una respuesta emocional o afectiva, una actitud o conjunto de actitudes respecto a situaciones laborales, incluso se ha relacionado con los componentes básicos de actitud como son el cognitivo, afectivo, y conductual..

Authors: Noblecilla Olaya Ana Jacqueline , Mármol Maridueña Rosa Alexandra , Bajaña Noblecilla Diego Elías , Bajaña Noblecilla Adonis Elías
Published: November 2024

Aprender un lenguaje formal demanda de estrategias de aprendizaje apropiadas. Estas estrategias deben ser seleccionadas del bagaje de opciones que ofrece la literatura científica sobre cómo enseñar la lengua. Un criterio para seleccionar mejor una estrategia de aprendizaje es considerar si la estrategia tiene en cuenta las capacidades y limitaciones de los sistemas de memoria humana, especialmente la memoria de trabajo. La colaboración como estrategia de aprendizaje y de evaluación está captando la atención de los investigadores instruccionales. Sin embargo, aún no se cuenta con conocimientos si esta estrategia funciona para estudiantes de primaria del dominio del lenguaje. Por esta razón, se llevó a cabo un estudio de campo para examinar si la colaboración beneficia el aprendizaje de un dominio específico del lenguaje, es decir, los conectores, entre estudiantes de educación primaria. El análisis ANOVA reveló que los estudiantes que aprendieron en grupo tuvieron más alto desempeño y menos carga cognitiva que los estudiantes que aprendieron individualmente tanto en tareas simples como complejas. Se concluye que la teoría de la carga cognitiva podría ayudar a comprender en qué condiciones es mejor aprender en grupo y se sugieren futuras investigaciones.

Authors: Connor Robert J. , Korkmaz Cem , Varma Amit , Kieffer III Charles J. , Ebert Aurora
Published: November 2024

An exploratory study was conducted for some bridges in the state of Indiana that evaluated the implementation potential of the AASHTO Guide Specifications for Internal Redundancy of Mechanically-Fastened Built-Up Steel Members (IRM Guide Specification) and the AASHTO Guide Specifications for the Analysis and Identification of Fracture Critical Members and System Redundant Members (SRM Guide Specification). The outcomes for the project included (1) determining if the application of the Guide Specifications on a wider scale would be beneficial to INDOT; (2) identifying which bridges or members were “truly” non-redundant in the selected bridges, thus allowing a more targeted inspection program that would minimize the risk associated with member failures; (3) developing a more targeted inspection program for the bridges eligible to be classified as IRMs and SRMs, and (4) proposing a strategy to move forward with a state-wide implementation plan to analyze other bridges presently classified as having NSTMs. This report addresses the bridge selection process used in determining the list of structures in the state of Indiana for IRM and SRM evaluation, as well as a detailed description of the IRM and SRM evaluation processes.
International relations of the Spanish Institute of Entomology in its initial period, 1941-1967
Authors: Gomis A. , Martín-Albadalejo C.
Published: November 2024

The Spanish Institute of Entomology (IEE) was established in 1941 at a time when Spain suffered international isolation and in which the community of naturalists, and particularly entomologists, had been undermined by the exile of many of Spain’s most famous researchers after the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Entomologists of the IEE (including Gonzalo Ceballos, Eduardo Zarco, Ramón Agenjo and Eugenio Morales) gradually restored international relations with entomologists around the world, resulting in the publication of scientific papers by notable foreign entomologists in the three series of publications of the IEE (Eos, Graellsia and Trabajos del Instituto Español de Entomología). Scientific contacts with international centres and colleagues returned to normal, with members of the Institute participating in the International Congresses of Entomology held in Stockholm (1948), Amsterdam (1951) and Vienna (1960) and various meetings of the International Commission for Biological Control. The extended stay of several IEE researchers in overseas centres also helped to rebuild scientific relations that had been damaged by the Spanish civil war.
Studying the Impact of CI/CD Adoption on Atoms of Confusion Distribution and Prevalence in Open-Source Projects
Authors: Feijó Diego N. , Almeida Carlos D. A. de , Rocha Lincoln S.
Published: November 2024

Atoms of Confusion (AoC) are indivisible code patterns that may confuse developers when trying to understand them, and that have less confusing equivalent patterns. Previous works suggest it is a good practice to avoid them. While there are studies on AoC relating them to bugs, there is not much about their relationship with the practices of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). Since CI/CD is generally praised as a group of good practices, related to better code being released reliably and faster to clients, there is a possibility that the presence of CI/CD would also impact the presence of AoC, possibly making them less prevalent since they can be problematic to development processes. To clarify this relationship, we analyzed 10 open-source long-lived Java libraries and 10 open-source Java projects for Android, to see if there was any difference in the AoC rate, diffusion, and density before and after the implementation of CI/CD when comparing each project, the average total. We also analyzed the atoms separately, checking for the most and least prevalent. Our results show the metrics have considerably changed for all projects when checked separately, and less so on average, but we could not find a statistically relevant relationship between most of these changes and CI/CD. We found a significant relation when checking the growth rate on one of the metrics. We also found that the most prevalent atom is the Logic as Control Flow, and the least is the Arithmetic as Logic.
Anwendung der merkmalsorientieren Inhaltsanalyse durch Polizeistudierende: Zum Einfluss von Vorinformationen auf die Bewertung der Glaubhaftigkeit von Opferzeugenaussagen
Authors: Strnad Maritess , Kemme Stefanie , Posch Lena
Published: November 2024

Die Glaubwürdigkeit eines Opfers im Strafverfahren und die Glaubhaftigkeit seiner Aussage sind wesentlich für die Anklageerhebung. Deren Beurteilung stellt daher einen entscheidenden Faktor dar und sollte objektiv und frei von Vorannahmen sein. Diese Studie untersucht, inwieweit Vorinformationen über eine Opferzeugin die anschließende Beurteilung ihrer Glaubwürdigkeit und der Glaubhaftigkeit ihrer Aussage beeinflussen. Dafür sahen N = 114 Polizeistudierende der Hochschule der Akademie der Polizei Hamburg ein Video einer als glaubhaft eingestuften Aussage oder ein Video einer als nicht glaubhaft eingestuften Aussage. Bei beiden Videos handelte es sich um reale Vernehmungen ähnlicher Fälle (sexuelle Nötigung durch einen unbekannten Beschuldigten). Der Kontext wurde manipuliert, indem einem Teil der Studierenden diskreditierende Vorinformationen zur Zeugin gegeben wurde und einem anderen Teil wertschätzende. Studierende der Kontrollgruppe erhielten keine Informationen vorab. Nach Betrachten des jeweiligen Videos sollten die Teilnehmenden den Grad der Ausprägung von 23 Qualitätsmerkmalen der merkmalsorientieren Inhaltsanalyse einschätzen, sowie ein Globalurteil zur Glaubhaftigkeit der Aussage, zur Glaubwürdigkeit der Zeugin und zum Erlebnisbezug abgeben. Es konnte keine signifikante Beeinflussung durch Vorinformationen im Sinne eines Confirmation Bias auf die Bewertung der Qualitätsmerkmale und die abschließende Glaubhaftigkeitsbeurteilung nachgewiesen werden. Tendenziell zeigte sich ein Truth Bias, wonach die Studierenden, unabhängig von den Vorinformationen, dazu neigten, eine Aussage als erlebnisbasiert einzuschätzen. Die Art des Videos sagte zudem die Richtigkeit der abschließenden Beurteilung des Erlebnisbezugs voraus, was darauf hinweist, dass es deutlich schwieriger ist, eine Lüge als solche zu erkennen, als eine erlebnisbasierte Aussage als wahr zu identifizieren.

Published: November 2024

Los estudios de sismología histórica en el Ecuador se han ocupado mayormente de la sierra centro y norte del país. Este trabajo, enmarcado en un proyecto de revisión de la sismicidad histórica del Azuay, se enfocó en el estudio macrosísmico de los dos terremotos más intensos en la historia sísmica conocida de la provincia: los ocurridos el 29 de junio de 1887 y el 5 de septiembre de 1893. Se abordaron tres aspectos: 1) investigación histórica, 2) valoración de la información macrosísmica, y 3) análisis macrosísmico de los terremotos. En cuanto a la investigación histórica, se hizo énfasis en el trabajo hemerográfico. Del análisis macrosísmico se obtuvieron tres resultados por cada uno de los terremotos: a) identificación de su patrón de secuencia sísmica, b) área epicentral aproximada, y c) valoración de su intensidad máxima. El resultado más importante, es la revaloración de la intensidad máxima del terremoto de 1893 en IX–X (escala EMS-98), lo cual significa un incremento en alrededor de dos grados respecto de aquella que consta en el catálogo sísmico histórico del país. Se consideró pertinente empezar con una revisión crítica del estado de la sismología histórica en América del Sur y el Ecuador.

Published: November 2024

Chlamydia-like microorganism Waddlia chondrophila (C. Chondrophila) is a new pathogen that causes miscarriages and abortions in humans and cattle. This bacterium is considered as a potential zoonotic agent. The main reservoirs and carriers of C. chondrophila are ixodic ticks, and determining their role remains the most difficult and interesting question to be solved in future studies.

The purpose of this study was to identify chlamydia in ixodic ticks collected from cattle by molecular methods. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing were used to confirm the presence of the pathogen in tick samples collected from domestic animals.

The analysis of nucleotide sequences showed that the DNA of the bacterium W. chondrophila was detected in the ticks Dermacentor marginatus, Hyalomma asiaticum, Hyalomma marginatum, Ixodes persulcatus, Hyalomma anatolicum. Among 156 tick samples collected from North Kazakhstan, West Kazakhstan, Zhambyl and Turkestan regions, 7% were positive for chlamydia-like microorganism W. chondrophila.

The presence of DNA of the chlamydia-like W. chondrophila microorganism in ixodic ticks suggests that additional research is needed to study the potential role of ticks as carriers of these zoonotic bacteria.
DEVELOPMENT OF A REAL-TIME POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION METHOD FOR THE DETECTION OF S. ENTERICA
Authors: Barmak S. M.
Published: November 2024

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has become a widely used tool for the detection, identification and differentiation of pathogenic microorganisms in the diagnosis of human and animal diseases. Frequent outbreaks of Salmonella associated with food require the development of rapid detection methods to control the spread of the disease. Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) can detect the presence of pathogen DNA. Detection of Salmonella in RT-PCR was carried out using the developed primers SInv-1F, SInv-1R and the SE-Probe probe. Positive results were obtained when testing the specificity of the RT-PCR test system for the detection of S. enterica using DNA from the bacteria S. Enteritidis, S. Typhimurium and S. Virchow as templates. The developed RT-PCR test system for the detection of S. enterica DNA was tested on the DNA of heterologous microorganisms of the genera Pasterella, Clostridium, Escherichia coli, Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Mycoplasma, Candida and Aspergillu. Heterologous microorganisms showed a negative result when testing the developed RT-PCR. The RT-PCR test system allows you to detect S. enterica DNA within 1-10 microbial cells. The developed RT-PCR test system made it possible to identify 99 (9.7%) S. enterica isolates as a result of examining 1020 biological samples (883 food samples and 137 clinical samples) collected in 2018-2019. The diagnostic efficiency of the S. enterica RT PCR test system was 100%.

Çalışmanın konusunu oluşturan Aşere-i Mübeşşire risalesi on tane müjdeleyici, Seb‘a-i Münzire risalesi ise yedi tane uyarıcı mahiyette ayet merkezinde kaleme alınmıştır. Risalelerin yazarı ise “Kâtib” olarak meşhur olduğunu kendisinin verdiği malumattan öğrendiğimiz bir zattır ve sözü edilen eserleri III. Murad döneminde kaleme almıştır. Yazarın açık kimliği belirlenememiş olmakla birlikte, risaleleri yazdığında seksen yaşına ulaşmış olduğunu kaydetmesi sebebiyle II. Bayezid dönemi sonlarında dünyaya geldiği tespit edilebilmektedir. Yine kendisinin verdiği bilgiyle Kânûnî Sultan Süleyman zamanında talebe olduğu öğrenilmekte; konumuzu oluşturan risaleleri Arapça ve Farsçaya iyi derecede vukufiyetini ortaya koyduğundan medrese öğrenimi gördüğü anlaşılmaktadır.
Hacim olarak çok geniş olmayan ve hâlihazırda üç nüshası tespit edilen Aşere-i Mübeşşire ve Seb‘a-i Münzire risalelerinin içeriği ise oldukça zengindir. Kâtib Efendi esas aldığı ayetleri bazen kelime kelime tercüme etmiş, bazen de birkaç kelimeyi veya iktibas ettiği kısmı bütün hâlde Türkçeye çevirmiştir. Tercümesini kısa tefsirlerle desteklediği gibi; hadis-i şerifler, tefsir kaynaklarından alıntılar, yer yer Farsça şiirler, Türkçe dizeler, hikâye, kıssa ve menkıbeler ile de açıklamalarını genişletmiştir. Kullanılan kaynakların çoğu Arapça olmakla birlikte alıntıların büyük kısmının Türkçe tercüme olarak kaydedilmesi dikkate değerdir. İktibas ettiği Farsça beyitlerin bazılarının tercümesini de kaydeden yazar, bazı Farsça şiir alıntılarında da kelimelerin anlamlarını uygun yerlere yazmıştır. İçerikleri ile güçlü bir ilmî birikimi yansıtan Aşere-i Mübeşşire ve Seb‘a-i Münzire risalelerinin incelendiği bu çalışma ile yazarın kimliğine dair yapılacak yeni araştırmalara yol açılması da mümkün olacaktır.

Perspectives of Warfare: A Journey With Penguins
Authors:   Royal Australian Air Force, Humphrey Christopher
Published: November 2024

Understanding the complexities of our modern information-based environment is now fundamental to the success in warfighting and navigating the fog of war. Conversely, the use of traditional information paradigms can lead to unwitting co-option of the adversaries’ plan or world view. We must consider that concepts of reality, truth, and what is right inherently does not completely align amongst different actors and groups. With this understanding, we can build resilience and anti-fragility in our decision-making and analysis.

Sustentabilidade ambiental e o sistema alimentar na perspectiva do nutricionista
Authors: Simmer Luisa Martins
Published: November 2024

A sustentabilidade ambiental engloba sistemas alimentares que envolvem produção de alimentos ecossistemas, sistemas humanos, econômicos, energéticos e de saúde,  para garantir segurança alimentar e nutricional. Dietas saudáveis e sustentáveis precisam apresentar baixo impacto ambiental, proteger a biodiversidade, serem cultural e economicamente acessíveis, além de adequadas nutricionalmente,  e otimizarem recursos naturais e humanos. Práticas de compliance, como a rastreabilidade e controle da pegada de carbono, são estratégias que auxiliam as empresas a se adequarem às regulamentações, enquanto o advocacy funciona como uma forma de influência e engajamento para fortalecer políticas de sustentabilidade. Este estudo visa discutir a importância desses temas sob a perspectiva do nutricionista. Para tanto, foram utilizados os descritores "environmental sustainability and nutrition", “food system”, “advocacy and compliance and nutrition”, sem limite temporal, na base de dados MedLine, via PubMed. Foram identificados 32 artigos no total, porém nenhum deles abordava diretamente a temática desse estudo.  A produção, aquisição e consumo dos alimentos influenciam toda a cadeia alimentar, que busca cada vez mais o consumo consciente e sustentável. O nutricionista, por seu papel central, deve estar atento e engajado em promover saúde e incentivar práticas sustentáveis. Embora o estudo evidencie a importância da sustentabilidade na prática nutricional, há uma lacuna na literatura quanto a diretrizes práticas que orientem nutricionistas na implementação de estratégias sustentáveis. Estudos futuros podem explorar metodologias para integrar práticas sustentáveis no planejamento alimentar e analisar os impactos dessas ações na saúde e no meio ambiente.
Let Slip the Dogs of Drug War: Law Enforcement Canines Do Not Fall Under the “Only-Contraband” Exception
Authors: Heiser Olivia Phelan
Published: November 2024

The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp from the Schedule I list of the Controlled Substances Act. This legal change caused law enforcement agencies and courts to reanalyze assumptions made in routine investigation tactics and prior caselaw. Some law enforcement agencies still use marijuana-trained canines. Previous Supreme Court cases have held that a sniff by a law enforcement canine is a sense-enhancing technology—but not a Fourth Amendment search—because canines detect only contraband. But marijuana-trained canines cannot detect a difference between hemp and illicit marijuana. Because these canines no longer detect only contraband, the “only-contraband” exception should no longer apply.
In United States v. Deluca, the Tenth Circuit held that, even in light of the 2018 Farm Bill, a law enforcement canine can still support probable cause. But Deluca did not grapple with Supreme Court precedent explaining when use of a sense-enhancing technology constitutes a search requiring probable cause. Even though the opinion was unpublished, subsequent opinions in other jurisdictions cite Deluca to conclude the question has been asked and answered. Deluca overlooks key reasoning from Supreme Court jurisprudence on canine sniffs and must be carefully analyzed to prevent it from metastasizing in other circuits.
Similarly, in United States v. Plancarte, the Seventh Circuit held that a law enforcement canine sniff is not an unreasonable search. Plancarte emphasized that dog sniffs’ limited intrusiveness does not implicate a reasonable expectation of privacy. Deluca and Plancarte signal a troubling shift in the face of advancing law enforcement sense-enhancing technology.
Entrusting Groundwater
Authors: Lyness Sean
Published: November 2024

Groundwater is a precious—and all too often scarce or polluted—resource. As groundwater withdrawals continue apace, challenges have emerged around groundwater quality and quantity. In the past several years, courts and legislatures have increasingly been called on to resolve disputes involving groundwater.
One recourse is the public trust doctrine, the principle that certain natural resources are held in trust by the state for the benefit of the public. But is groundwater a public trust asset? Should it be? And what does a groundwater trust look like?
This Article seeks to answer these questions, exploring the relationship between groundwater and the public trust doctrine. It makes three contributions: (1) a catalog of the recent state-level debates over whether groundwater is a public trust asset; (2) a normative case for why groundwater should be a public trust asset; and (3) an articulation of how to entrust groundwater.

This study aims to enhance the news writing skills of Grade 4 pupils at Cateel Central Elementary School using a graphic organizer strategy. The respondents are selected through a complete enumeration sampling technique, with two sections serving as respondents. The Aiken's V coefficient method and Cronbach's alpha were employed to ensure the validity and reliability of the research instrument. The validation process yielded an impressive Aiken V coefficient of 0.75, indicating robust validity. Additionally, reliability testing resulted in Cronbach's alpha values of 0.78 and 0.86, signifying satisfactory reliability levels. The pre-test results indicated that the students did not meet the expectations set by the K to 12 grading system, with a grade percentage of 66.60. Post-test results, however, revealed a significant improvement in the student's performance, with a grade percentage of 88.33, indicating a very satisfactory level. The statistical analysis confirmed this difference as significant, demonstrating the effectiveness of the graphic organizer strategy in enhancing news writing skills among Grade 4 students. The significant improvement in students' news writing skills after the implementation of graphic organizers highlights the effectiveness of this pedagogical tool, suggesting its wider adoption in curricula and the need for further teacher training to maximize its benefits for enhancing academic performance.

En medio de la compleja situación emocional que vive nuestra sociedad actual, la misma que representa desafíos significativos para el estado, la sociedad en general y el sistema de salud pública; se ha podido evidenciar que existe una prevalencia entre la impulsividad e ideación suicida; afectando especialmente a jóvenes en ambientes académicos. La impulsividad puede conducir a decisiones riesgosas o comportamientos destructivos, mientras que la ideación suicida refleja un profundo malestar emocional considerando las posibilidades para acabar con la vida. Para poder llegar a una conclusión acertada de este estudio se contó con una muestra de 196 estudiantes hombres y mujeres de entre 18 y 28 años de edad. Teniendo como objetivos de estudio de esta investigación la relación de la impulsividad y la ideación suicida en estudiantes universitarios de una universidad de la ciudad de Ambato, provincia de Tungurahua, evaluar ambas variables de acuerdo al género, por medio de un estudio cuantitativo, no experimental de corte transversal. Siendo los instrumentos utilizados la Escala de Impulsividad de Barratt y la Escala de Ideación Suicida de Beck. Los resultados mostraron una correlación positiva muy baja entre impulsividad e ideación suicida, la impulsividad moderada se observa que prevalece en esta población con un 79.1%, al igual que una ideación suicida leve con un 32.7%, en cuanto al género no se encontró diferencias significativas.
Programming as a Tool for Helping Students Understand and Solve Quadratic Equations
Authors:   , Taub David
Published: November 2024

This study explored the idea that working on programming tasks may help students learn mathematics. The aim of the study was to determine if the act of programming itself could help students construct new mathematical knowledge. This was motivated by the idea that in order to be able to write a program to deal with general solutions and methods, the students would need to reflect on their own knowledge and make their reasoning explicit and detailed. Three intervention cycles were conducted with different groups of Swedish secondary school students, the majority of which were novice programmers. The interventions themselves were modeled on task-based interviews though the overarching methodology and analysis was based on the Abstraction in Context theoretical framework. The findings indicate that although it seems possible for the act of programming itself to help students construct new mathematical concepts, it is unlikely to be an effective classroom strategy. The cognitive difficulties novice programmers encountered when writing programs became an obstacle to learning new mathematics as well as dramatically increasing the time needed to complete apparently simple tasks.

The main objective of this paper is to review the importance of renewable energy based microgrid on wireless sensor networks (WSNs) including challenges of renewable energy-based MGs. This paper explores the critical nexus between Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and microgrids powered by renewable energy, explaining the rising importance of these networks and the issues they provide. Microgrids have become a promising technology in the worldwide search for sustainable energy solutions, since they allow for the effective integration of distributed energy management, local energy production, and Renewable Energy (RE) sources. WSNs allow for the microgrid-wide real-time monitoring of multiple parameters, including voltage, current, temperature, and humidity. The constant flow of data contributes to the preservation of ideal operating circumstances. When combined with WSNs' powers to enable data-driven decision-making and real-time monitoring, these two technologies have the potential to revolutionize a wide range of applications. This paper offers a thorough examination of the significance of this synergy, including topics like environmental effect mitigation, grid resilience, and energy sustainability. In addition, the study analyzes the complex issues related to energy management, communication protocols, security, scalability, and integration with intermittent renewable sources that arise when synchronizing microgrids with WSNs. Future directions and new trends are also examined, including the growth of Internet of Things and AI-driven energy optimization. This study intends to assist academics, policymakers, and practitioners in realizing the full potential of microgrid implementations based on renewable energy for a more sustainable and interconnected future by illuminating the symbiotic link between microgrids and WSNs.
