Authors: Mahecha Liliana , Henao Damary , Cardona Mariluz , Olivera A. Martha
Published: August 2024

Resumen Este estudio se llevó a cabo en vacas cebú amamantando bajo condiciones de trópico bajo, pastoreando brachiaria en condiciones semintensivas y con días abiertos mayores a 150.  Con el fin de determinar si la interrupción temporal del amamantamiento (ITA) disminuye los días abiertos, se escogieron 34 vacas con 80 a 120 días abiertos y ciclando.  Se dividieron en dos grupos al azar, uno de 19, a las que se les retiró el ternero durante 72 horas y otro de 15 controles. Todas las vacas pastorearon juntas.  La semana previa al experimento, durante la restricción  y hasta dos semanas después, se realizaron ecografías y detección de calor. Las variables consideradas fueron la tasa de crecimiento folicular durante el ITA y la tasa de crecimiento del folículo dominante, así como la presentación  de calor. El 94.7% de las vacas con ITA presentaron calor durante el tratamiento, o en la semana siguiente, aparentemente ejercieron un efecto social sobre las compañeras sin tratamiento, ya que en estas se presentaron 46.7% de calores simultáneamente.  El tratamiento afectó positivamente el diámetro folicular de las vacas tratadas. Palabras clave: amamantamiento, divergencia folicular, ovulación. Summary This study was carried out in suckled Zebu Brahman under low altitude, tropical semi-intensive conditions, characterized by long opened-day periods (>150 days). This low reproductive efficiency is said to be due to suckling that takes place for about 8 months postpartum. 34 cows grazing Brachiaria humidicola were studied, beginning non earlier than 80 days postpartum and all of them presenting follicular dynamics as detected by ultrasonography.  The cows were allocated to one of two groups: restricted (19) or non-restricted (15).  The restriction consisted of a one- time isolation of calves for 72 hours.  During the restriction and for two more days daily ecographic examination was performed. There after the cows were examined ecographically twice a week for two more weeks..  Observation for clinical signs of heat was done twice a day for one-hour period during the restriction and 10 days after. The variables considered were dominant follicular growth at divergency during restriction, and estrus presentation. Effect of restriction on estrus was analyzed with a logistic regression model, and the follicular growth with a general linear model p< 0.05. No significant difference was found in the growth rate of divergent follicles between control and treatment cows (0.87 mm/day vs. 0.93 mm/day). All but one (94.7%) of restricted cows presented heat during the treatment, but interestingly, seven out of fifteen (46.6%) of the control did too, and this was significantly different (p< 0.05). The practical end result is as good as expected but it remains to be determinined why a high unexpected number of control cows did present estrus too. Key words: divergency, ovulation, restriction.

Resumen El propósito de esta investigación fue evaluar las características osteoinductivas de las Proteínas Morfogenéticas Óseas (PMO) parcialmente purificadas de hueso bovino, mediante  implantación subcutánea en un modelo experimental lapino, para ser utilizadas posteriormente como material de injerto óseo en combinación con un material osteoconductor. El procedimiento se llevó a cabo mediante la implantación subcutánea de ocho mg de PMO  en la región dorsal a nivel de la escápula, en 21 conejos de Raza Blanca de Nueva Zelanda, los cuales se distribuyeron en 6 grupos de evaluación así: tres, seis, nueve, doce, veintiún días y ocho semanas de evolución, transcurridos estos tiempos se retiraron los implantes para ser evaluados histopatológicamente por microscopía óptica convencional y así caracterizar los diferentes elementos tisulares. Los resultados obtenidos se analizaron utilizando el método factorial de correspondencias múltiples con clasificación jerárquica, el cual mostró que las PMO estimulan la inducción de hueso en sitios ectópicos, teniendo actividad osteogénica ya que se observó presencia de trabéculas óseas en todas las muestras tomadas a partir del sexto día postimplante. Palabras clave: factores de crecimiento, implantes, osteoinducción. Summary The purpose of this research was to evaluate the osteoinductive characteristics of partially purified bone morphogenetic proteins from bovine bone, through subcutaneous implantation in an experimental lapin model, to be used later as bone graft material mixed with an osteoconductive material. The procedure was carried out through subcutaneous implantation of 8 mg of BMP in the dorsal region at scapula level, in 21 New Zealand rabbits. They were distributed into 6 evaluation groups at 3,6,9,12,21 days and 8 weeks of evolution, when the implants were removed and sent to histopatologic evaluation through convencional optic microscopy to characterize different tissue elements, that included bone neoformation. The results were analyzed with multiple correspondence factorial method with jerarquic classification, and showed that  BMP  stimulate  bone induction in ectopic  sites, having osteogenic activity,  because osseous  trabeculae  were noticed  in all samples taken since day 6 post implantation. Key words:  grafts, growth factors, osteoinduction.
Naturaleza y control de la quimiorresistencia en ectoparásitos
Authors: Errecalde Carlos , Prieto Guillermo , Lüders Carlos , García Hugo
Published: August 2024

Resumen En la actualidad, con trascendencia e intensidad variable, la resistencia se extiende a todos los ectoparásitos combatidos y comprende a todos los compuestos químicos disponibles condicionando seriamente la efectividad. Es un fenómeno preadaptativo, heredable, originado de una mutación, por lo tanto su concepción es genética. La habilidad de supervivencia se difunde en una población determinada pues el principio activo excluye los individuos susceptibles, seleccionando en los sobrevivientes genes heredados por generaciones sucesivas. La resistencia se manifiesta por diferentes mecanismos, entre los cuales se destaca la penetración reducida, detoxificación incrementada o menor sensibilidad por el sitio blanco, no obstante ciertas características genéticas y biológicas del parásito que favorecen la expresión, son significativos los factores operacionales, inherentes al manejo del principio activo que favorecen la presión de selección, tales como el empleo de dosis elevadas, administraciones repetidas o de acción residual intrínseca, en consecuencia la prevención de la resistencia no sólo debe contemplar el monitoreo permanente de la susceptibilidad del parásito que se pretende controlar sino también es necesario adoptar  medidas tendientes a reducir la presión de selección. Palabras clave: control, ectoparásitos, insecticidas, resistencia. Summary At the present time, with variable importance and intensity, the resistance extends to all the fought ectoparasites and includes all chemical compounds available, conditioning seriously its effectiveness. It is a preadaptive, inheritable phenomenon, originated from a mutation, with a genetic conception. The survival ability spreads in a certain population because the active principle excludes the susceptible individuals, selecting in the surviving ones, genes inherited by successive generations. The resistance is pronounced by different mechanism; between them, the reduced penetration stands out, increased detoxification or smaller sensitivity by the target site, despite certain genetic and biological characteristics of the parasite that favors the expression, the operational and  inherent factors are significant to the handling of the active principle which favors the selection pressure, such as the use of elevated doses, repeated administrations or of intrinsic residual action, consequently the prevention of the resistance must contemplate permanent monitoring of the susceptibility of the parasite to be controlled,  and, if  necessary, measuring  to reduce the selection pressure. Key words: control, ectoparasites, insecticide, resistance.

Today, there are many computer systems that are designed to improve, facilitate and improve human life. As more and more researchers become interested in information processing, the development of computer systems is gaining momentum every year. With the development of information systems, possible threats, such as breaches of confidentiality, integrity and availability of processed information, are developing at an equally rapid pace. In order to prevent possible losses, the latest information security systems are constantly updated and improved. Since it is impossible to create a completely secure system, there is always the possibility of data theft, so the problem of protection of information and telecommunications systems is becoming increasingly important. Given that no protection can be perfect, a way has been developed to significantly reduce data breaches. Today, cryptosystems are mostly used to protect information and telecommunications systems and other technologies, including the protection of critical information of the state, enterprise, person or other critical data, including corporate secrets, intelligence or trade secrets.This article presents ways to use symmetric algorithms for signal transmission in remote data input devices. Information on existing algorithms of encryption and use of hash functions is given. A distinction is made between single-key and two-key methods of information encryption. The AES algorithm of its function, work of rounds, schemes of data encryption are considered in detail. The description of each algorithm is accompanied by an example which explains the features of their use. A mathematical model and an example of a block encryption algorithm are presented. The principles of operation of wireless devices are highlighted. Vulnerabilities related to wireless devices are considered and solutions for their protection are proposed.
Le Cygne de Charles Baudelaire

Published: August 2024

Desde sua origem, o caminhar enquanto prática estética está estritamente ligado à ociosidade, e essa característica permite o privilégio de realizá-lo através do ritmo da errância. Essa prática tem um elo muito forte, sobretudo, com a produção simbólica humana, desde os primórdios. Assim, enquadra-se em uma atitude simbólica e libertadora para o caminhante. Neste trabalho, almejamos analisar como a soma de metáforas, de onde emerge todo o significado da modernidade histórica baudelairiana, materializada na alegoria do Cisne enquanto poeta e exilado em seu próprio tempo, se apresenta no poema Le Cygne (“O Cisne”) publicado na seção Tableaux Parisiens da segunda edição de Fleurs du mal em 1861 à luz da interpretação de Benjamin (1984, 2009, 2019) e Hanson (2006) sobre alegorias e dos estudos de Hazan (2017) sobre a transformação urbana de Paris no século XIX.

The author provides an overview of the current state of Canada's defence industry and an analysis of its inherent features. Some new points in the official approaches to the development of the military-industrial complex are also highlighted.
Italy's position in European defence integration
Authors: Maslova Elena
Published: August 2024

Brussels favours the eventual creation of a common European defence market. Rome favours simultaneous European defence integration and a permanent relationship with US and British companies (due to the strong Anglo-Saxon industrial ties of major Italian companies), but is concerned that excessive use of "off-the-shelf" solutions will undermine the European Defence Technology and Industrial Base (EDITB) due to the "lock-in" effect. Rome's aim is to promote defence cooperation with the EU, benefiting itself, while at the same time preventing EU initiatives from damaging Italian industrial cooperation ties with third countries such as the US, UK.
Transcendentalism and Neuroscience: Grounds for Integration
Authors: Medova Anastasiya
Published: August 2024

The author considers the methodological basis of neurotranscendentalism and discusses the question of whether its integration of the approaches of transcendentalism and neurosciences is effective and coherent. The study undertakes on the base of the comparative analysis of spatiotemporal and quantitative representations and how they are described in Kant’s philosophy and transcendental neuro-researches. The author infers that: 1) transcendentalism is not susceptible to the problem of the material correlate of a priori principles of the reason while neurosciences are primarily aimed at detective it; 2) the integrated disciplines have essential diversities in the treatment of the crucial notions (a priori, representation, space, time, magnitude, perception, etc.); 3) neurosciences and transcendentalism have the ground for the integration on the level of the subject area; 4) neurotranscendentalism forms the interdisciplinary scope of researches which generates its own synthetic object – the “biological a priori”.
Immanuel Kant’s Epistemological Ideas from the Point of View of Exact Epistemology and Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Finn Viktor
Published: August 2024

In exact epistemology Immanuel Kant’s statement on the priority of application of cognitive faculties is detailed as an intellectual process. Empirical regularities of the JSM–method of automated support for research are synthetic a posteriori judgements. Theoretical intelligence is primary, and its aspects are understanding (Verstand) and mind (Gemüt). The conditions of possible experience in Kant’s sense are implemented in the JSM–method of ASR in intelligent systems. And the JSM–method itself is the transcendental logic of artificial intelligence using two theories of truth, the coherence theory and the correspondence theory. Exact epistemology, which is exact neo-Kantianism, can be naturally considered as a reflection of information society culture on its civilizational (technological) aspects.

Published: August 2024

Un gran número de edificaciones educativas de universidades públicas colombianas requieren con urgencia intervenciones de reforzamiento estructural. Sin embargo, por las consideraciones de urbanismo de la gran mayoría de las ciudadelas universitarias, estas edificaciones educativas se encuentran separadas entre sí por zonas verdes y estructuras de acceso, donde estas últimas se caracterizan generalmente por falta de información en sus condiciones de contorno y propiedades de los materiales, con el agravanteque en muchos casos se encuentran conectadas estructuralmente con edificaciones educativas. Este artículo presenta una metodología de caracterización estructural de una estructura de acceso de edificaciones educativas localizada en la sede de la Universidad Industrial de Santander. Pruebas en campo de vibración ambiental permiten estudiar la influencia de las condiciones de contorno. Finalmente, la implementación de un algoritmo de óptima localización de sensores y pruebas numéricas de vibración forzada permiten validar la consistencia de la metodología propuesta en este artículo.

Published: August 2024

Reusing waste lubricant oil as an environmentally-friendly alternative for disposal and transforming it into a value-added product is a promising solution. This study aimed to evaluate the rheological properties of asphalt binder (PG 64-XX) modified with waste hydraulic oil. Two levels of oil content, 3% and 5% by weight of the base binder, were added. Physical and rheological tests, including penetration, softening point, rotational viscosity, and performance grade (PG) tests, were conducted before and after subjecting the samples to the Rolling Thin Film Oven (RTFO), multiple stress creep and recovery (MSCR), linear amplitude sweep (LAS), and master curve procedures. Results showed that the addition of oil decreased the stiffness of the base binder, makingit more susceptible to premature cracking and instability. However, the mixture and compaction temperatures decreased with the oil addition. Overall, considering the investigated oil contents, the asphalt binders modified with waste hydraulic oil did not exhibit satisfactory performance. It is hypothesized that incorporating residual hydraulic oil in recovered asphalt binders may yield more favorable results.
The value of corporate social responsibility practices in a world more concerned about sustainability: A literature review
Authors: Robayo-Avendaño Angélica , Prato-García Dorian
Published: August 2024

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been seen as an opportunity to increase reputation, cost savings, business and financial opportunities, and create economic and sustainable value. The purpose of this review is twofold: first to draw attention to the complex relationship between common CSR practices used to deal with critical issues for our society and the impact they have on the trust and loyalty of stakeholders. Second, based on a study of 91 documents, to identify the advantages/weaknesses of implementing recognized standards (ISO 14001, ISO 26000, GRI, SA8000, AA1000) in different sectors of the economy. The standards provide a guideline for the elaboration, disclosure, and evaluation of the transparency reports of CSR. Some indicators used to measure CSR are more focused on environmental topics but recognizing social justice as a priority is critical to promoting the well-being of internal and external stakeholders. Furthermore, CSR standards play a crucial role in our world because they encourage ethical behaviors that reinforce the values and integrity of our society. The future research agenda should be oriented to monitor the impact of CSR initiatives in complex scenarios, consider the voices of non-specialized stakeholders, and integrate approaches that make visible the consequences of these practices.
Manufactura aditiva de materiales basados en suelos: estado actual y perspectivas futuras de esta tecnología de construcción amigable con el ambiente
Authors: Conde-Caicedo Nathalia , Villaquirán-Caicedo Mónica A. , Mejía de Gutiérrez Ruby
Published: August 2024

En los últimos años, se ha generado gran interés en la construcción sostenible, lo que ha llevado a un mayor interés en la impresión 3D o manufactura aditiva. Sin embargo, el uso de esta técnica con materiales convencionales no es suficiente para disminuir el gran impacto ambiental que genera el sector de la construcción. Aunque la mayoría de las investigaciones y avances están centralizadas en la impresión 3D de concreto Portland, esta revisión se ha trabajado orientada hacia la impresión 3D de materiales de construcción basados en suelos y arcillas, los con los cuales se puede proporcionar un enfoque asequible (ya que es un material localmente disponible en muchas regiones del planeta), sostenible ambientalmente, y con bajo costo, lo cual es altamente beneficioso para la construcción de viviendas. Este documento se ha orientado hacia la búsqueda de literatura científica y prototipos que se han elaborado utilizando materiales ancestrales, como son suelos-arcillas-arena-fibras como paja y agua, para elaboración de piezas constructivas tipo muros o adobes impresos en 3D. El objetivo de este documento es cerrar la brecha sobre la utilización de mezclas basadas en suelos, que, aunque parezcan totalmente estudiadas por varios siglos, a la fecha su aplicación en impresión 3D es reducida. Reajustes en propiedades de las mezclas de suelos como la fluidez para el bombeo o extrusión, edificabilidad y buen tiempo de trabajo, son variables que se reportan en este documento. Además, en esta revisión se describen las mezclas que han sido desarrolladas para impresión 3D a partir de suelos y arcillas, y las principales características que se han encontrado. Finalmente, se presentan los desafíos que aún persisten para que las mezclas puedan aplicarse a una escala industrial masiva.

Published: August 2024

Esta investigación se centra en la estimación de caudales extremos para cuencas hidrológicas en la región nororiental andina de Colombia, considerando periodos de retorno de 10, 50, 100 y 200 años. Se aplicó la prueba de bondad y ajuste de Kolmogórov-Smirnov a 39 estaciones limnimétricas en los departamentos de Boyacá, Cundinamarca, Santander y Norte de Santander. Se evaluaron funciones de distribución como Normal, Log Normal, Log Pearson y Gumbel. Se aplicaron las ecuaciones de amplificación de caudales no instantáneos de Fuller, Tonini (1939), Tonini (1969), Cotecchia (1965) y Tucci (1991). Los resultados revelan que la distribución Normal demostró ser la más apropiada, abarcando un 36% de las estaciones analizadas y que los modelos de Tonini (1939) y Cotecchia tienden a sobreestimar, mientras que los de Fuller, Tonini (1969) y Tucci son más conservadores para la estimación de caudales extremos no instantáneos para los periodos de retorno analizados. La selección de un modelo de amplificación incorrecto, puede incurrir en el incremento de costos de las obras hidráulicas, pero también favorece el factor de seguridad, por lo cual se recomienda la calibración de los modelos de amplificación de los caudales no instantáneos y el aumento de estaciones limnigráficas en la región Nororiental Andina de Colombia.

Authors: Aguirre Cristhian Andres , Diaz Pablo , Barba-Ortega Jose Jose
Published: August 2024

In this work we studied the vortex-conﬁguration in a mesoscopic superconducting square in presence of an external magnetic ﬁeld H applied parallel to its surface vector. We study the magnetization curves in a complete loop, the magnretic induction and the superconducting-electron density for the sample considering Neumann boundary conditions for the order parameter, via length Gennes extrapolation . The sample presents a pinnin center as a Kagome-type laticce at diﬀerent critical temperature. We solve the generalized time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations for a two-condensate system using the Link-variable method considering a Field-Cooling process. Our results show that the vortices are always located at the pinning centers in non-conventional conﬁgurations, due to cuopling used.
Conceptual approaches to the concept of regional potential: essence, content, classification features
Authors: Speshilova Natalia V. , Nesedov Pavel O.
Published: August 2024

The article highlights the importance of the study, due to disagreements in the theoretical and methodological aspects of considering the concept of regional potential. The analysis of current scientific publications devoted to the study of various conceptual approaches to its interpretation is carried out. The paper analyzes the formulations of the concept of "regional potential" ("regional potential") by a number of authors from the point of view of content orientation to various groups of factors. The generalization was carried out according to the internal and external characteristics, the field of activity (specialization) of the region. The author’s interpretation of the concept is given. The classification of the types of regional potential is carried out, their complex structure is presented, designed taking into account rationality and complexity. Two groups of potentials have been identified – dependent and independent. The concept of aggregate potential is highlighted, which is the final indicator of regional development. As a methodological basis, the developed approach is proposed through the compilation of maps of regional potentials, which allows to unify the order of selection of fundamental factors as the criteria for the development potential of the region. The direct and indirect influence of different types of regional potential on each other is indicated. The substantial essence of the concepts is analyzed and three main approaches to the definition of regional potential are identified – factorial, resource, and effective. The basis for the development of a more detailed study of the interrelation of regional potentials is determined and emphasis is placed on the prospects for formalizing the proposed approach in order to identify mathematical dependencies to support decision-making of strategic management of the region.
Features of the innovative approach in the formation of regional industrial policy
Authors: Mironova Elena A. , Dobrusin Alexey V.
Published: August 2024

The article is considering the phenomenon of blurring boundaries between economic sectors, the merging of various stages and functions within the production process occurs, which is a distinctive feature of modern economic development. The authors emphasize imbalance in the distribution of capital: in conditions of excess financial resources throughout the national economy, there is a shortage of funds allocated for innovative projects. A key aspect of this problem is the lack of a long-term perspective and development strategy among economic entities. It is substantiated that insufficient attention to the development and implementation of risk management strategies leads to underestimation of the value of innovations with a long-term perspective, and in order to effectively overcome innovation shortsightedness, necessary an integrated approach that includes not only improving corporate culture and developing innovation infrastructure, but also improving legal and regulatory environment. The concept of innovative short-sightedness is considered, which reflects the underestimation of future benefits and the narrowing of the planning horizon of economic agents. Attention is focused on the fact that government policy and regulation can also have a significant impact on innovation activity; an imperfect legal framework in the field of intellectual property or unpredictability of tax policy creates uncertainty for entrepreneurs and investors, which can discourage investment in innovative projects. It is argued that in the context of industrial policy formation, the most significant aspects are the establishment and support of economic entities. It is emphasized that industrial policy should be focused on stimulating the primary links of production; it can be aimed at ensuring the development of high-tech sectors of the economy, which can become the driving force of innovative growth and increasing the competitiveness of national producers in world markets. In the realm of investment strategies, significant attention is directed towards crafting standards for utilizing approaches that simplify the integration of intellectual assets into economic systems, all while considering the expected duration of product viability.
Assessing the impact of scientific and industrial cooperation on the development of a high-tech corporation
Authors: Ermakova Zhanna A. , Korabeynikov Igor N. , Savkin Nikita V.
Published: August 2024

The article offers the author’s view on the formation of an economic and mathematical model that takes into account the influence of the innovative potential of an enterprise on the dynamics of growth in the volume of output, taking into account a number of production factors characteristic of a manufacturing enterprise. The proposed economic and mathematical model allows us to take into account the mutual influence of both the product potential of an industrial enterprise and its process and innovation potential. In its structure, the economic and mathematical model proposed by the authors is presented in the form of a system of differential equations that takes into account the volume of resources of various types available to an industrial enterprise, as well as the functions of its innovative potential and indicator functions that characterize the process of managing the processes of using the innovative potential available to an industrial enterprise. The work displays several options for assessing the process of forming the innovative potential of an industrial enterprise, taking into account different combinations of possible product and process technological innovations. The economic and mathematical model proposed by the authors for taking into account the influence of the innovative potential of an enterprise on the dynamics of growth in the volume of manufactured products provides for an alternative approach to the formation of the innovative potential of an industrial enterprise: either the innovative potential of an industrial enterprise is formed through the introduction of product technological innovations, implying the introduction of new goods to the consumer market with an additional set of product characteristics, or innovative potential is formed on the basis of the use of innovations in the field of organizational sphere: production organization and labor organization. The authors proposed variants of scenarios for the development of events in which the innovative potential can be used both immediately and with some delay in time.
Model of interaction between product and process innovative potential of a manufacturing enterprise
Authors: Aksinin Vladimir I. , Saraev Leonid A.
Published: August 2024

The published article proposes an economic and mathematical model of the dynamics of development of a multifactor production enterprise, taking into account the interaction of product and process innovation potentials.
The output of the enterprise under consideration is ensured by the Cobb-Douglas production multiplicative function, the parameters of which depend on the levels of product innovation potential and process innovation potential.
A system of differential equations for the balance of an enterprise has been established regarding the volumes of all its resources and the volumes of its product and process innovation potentials.
To manage the processes of gradual introduction of innovative potentials into production, special indicator functions are introduced into the system of differential equations of the model, which determine the time intervals for the deployment of innovative potentials.
The maximum values of the volumes of enterprise resources, the maximum values of the volumes of innovative potentials and the maximum value of the volume of revenue have been calculated.
The numerical solution of the system of differential equations of the developed model makes it possible to obtain dynamic trajectories of enterprise development, on the basis of which, by controlling indicator functions, it is possible to construct various scenarios for the operation of the enterprise.

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved due to significant improvements in computing performance, increased utilization of large datasets, and algorithm advancements, leading to widespread societal changes. These developments promise innovative applications of AI across various fields but highlight the necessity of ethical use and deep understanding of AI, underscoring the importance of AI literacy. While current research on AI literacy primarily focuses on secondary and higher education, the need for education that impacts cognitive and social development at the elementary level is increasingly emphasized. Furthermore, understanding the factors influencing AI literacy is crucial for educators and policymakers in designing and implementing effective AI education programs. This study investigated how gender, grade level, experiences related to AI, interest in AI, and programming language experience affect AI literacy among elementary students, revealing that these factors significantly impact AI literacy levels. Male students showed higher AI literacy than female students, and AI literacy improved with higher grade levels. Direct and indirect experiences related to AI positively influenced literacy improvement, and high interest in AI and experience with programming languages played essential roles. These findings provide evidence for developing effective AI education strategies for elementary students, emphasizing the importance of educational programs that meet students' diverse backgrounds and needs. These factors in AI education can enhance students' literacy levels and contribute to nurturing talents equipped with the necessary technical, ethical, and problem-solving skills for future society.
Vehicle License Plate Detection and Recognition using OpenCV and Tesseract OCR
Authors: Kounlaxay Kalaphath , Yoon Yeo Chan , Kim Soo Kyun
Published: August 2024

License plate recognition (LPR) is essential as the number of vehicles increases and the human ability to accomplish this task is limited. If human labor is used to manage these, it will take a lot of time and energy and cause a discrepancy. License Plate Recognition (LPR) is an advanced technology that leverages optical character recognition (OCR) and various image processing methods to read vehicle license plates automatically. Typically, an LPR system comprises two primary components: detecting vehicles and their license plates and recognizing the alphanumeric characters displayed on those plates. This study explores the use of OpenCV for license plate detection and Tesseract OCR for character recognition. In this research, the dataset for training and testing the system included 100 license plates evenly split between plates featuring English and Lao characters. The Lao license plates presented unique complexities due to their specific characteristics. The experimental setup involved processing images of license plates taken from multiple angles. The system's performance was evaluated based on the speed and accuracy of line and character recognition. For English character plates, the recognition process took 0.12 seconds with an accuracy of 98.8%. In contrast, the Lao character plates required 0.24 seconds, achieving an accuracy rate of 89.42%.

Today, the JavaScript programming language ranks first both in the world well-known programming rankings and those in Ukraine in particular. The purpose of the research is quantitative analysis of online courses on learning JavaScript on well-known MOOC platforms. In order to achieve the purpose of our research, we used theoretical and quantitative (descriptive) methods. Also, we analyzed such well-known online platforms as Alison, Codecademy, Udemy, edX, Coursera as of December 2023. The number of online courses on each platform, their cost, an approximate user level, video length, etc. was used as criteria for the analysis. The analyzed MOOC was found to offer 1,795 online courses on learning the JavaScript programming language. Among them, 1,077 courses (60%) are paid, 201 courses (11%) can be taken for free, and 517 courses (29%) require optional payment. Most of the online JavaScript courses (788 courses, 44%) are developed for the Beginner level. Only 37 courses are available for experienced JavaScript programmers, which is 2% of the total number of online JavaScript courses. It was found that Codecademy and Udemy online platforms offer their users additional opportunities to learn JavaScript: programming projects (67 online courses); coding exercises (99 online courses); Practice test (55 online courses). The obtained results made it possible to formulate some proposals for choosing the optimal MOOC which helps to learn JavaScript, considering several selection criteria.

The duality between the supersensible and the sensible world is integrated by Hegel into a broader dialectical vision of Plato's thought. Within this perspective, several themes and dilemmas arise, including the philosopher as a contemplator of perfect Ideas but also as a leader of the ideal world, the autonomy of consciousness in its evolution towards absolute knowledge, the moral progress of humanity starting from the Platonic assumption of the Divinity as Demiurge, happiness and the enigma of evil in the conceptual-ethical opening anticipating Christianity, and the risks of stagnation at the level of the utopian city. This text attempts to highlight the Hegelian dialectical approach to these proposed subjects, at the dawn of universal philosophy, by Plato's thought.
Social-Philosophical Perspectives on Loneliness in Postmodern Society Correlated to the Problem Of Credibility in Spiritual Interpersonal Communication - Aspects of Interest in the Prevention Of Loneliness in Social Work
Authors:   Lecturer PhD, Faculty of Orthodox Theology, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, Iași, Romania, Nistor Petronela Polixenia
Published: August 2024

Communication and credibility are two important concepts, both in the social, emotional and professional aspects of life. Communication within interpersonal relationships not only means an informational exchange, but involves the establishment of connections with other people, whether by an immediate, direct, or distant, mediated connection. An effective communication is the result of the correlation between the skills and abilities acquired over time by both partners involved in the communicative process, thus obtaining the most effective transmission of the message. The need for communication resides in the very structure of the human being or personality, directed by needs, requirements and goals that can sometimes only be satisfied through interrelationship and communication with other people. Communication is the link between interpersonal relationships with family members, friends, the extended social group and, last but not least, with divinity. Success in achieving effective communication is given, among other things, by the credibility of the speaker and, despite their oratorical subtlety, if the speech does not inspire confidence, the failure of the speaker's power of persuasion regarding the interlocutor is predictable. The purpose of this research is to theoretically analyze the problem of loneliness in postmodern society, through the lens of the obstacles raised in human interaction by credibility issues in interpersonal communication, and especially in spiritual communication.
