Transformación y evolución de la representación glífica de los antropónimos de los gobernantes mexicas prehispánicos
Authors: Pérez Lugones Lisardo
Published: September 2022

Las continuidades y estrategias empleadas para representar antropónimos náhuatl a lo largo de la historia de su escritura, muestran diferentes respuestas adaptativas coyunturales al desarrollo de la misma, al grado de diversificación de las áreas de producción o a transformaciones propias del contexto histórico de los pintores indígenas. Estas estrategias se pueden observar desde la producción epigráfica primero y posteriormente paleográfica, de las formas de plasmar el nombre jeroglífico de los gobernantes mexicas desde la época prehispánica hasta el período colonial tardío. Teniendo en cuenta que, tras el contacto, estos nombres aparecen recogidos en códices y documentos de diversa índole, donde se conjuga con el bagaje cultura y el grado de aprendizaje del tlacuilo en el marco temporal de su producción. Analizamos 463 glifos de estos once gobernantes, para ver su evolución a lo largo del tiempo hasta el siglo XVIII.

Undecidable Literary Interpretations and Aesthetic Literary Value
Authors: Morales Maciel Washington
Published: September 2022

Literature has been philosophically understood as a practice in the last thirty years, which involves “modes of utterance” and stances, not intrinsic textual properties. Thus, the place for semantics in philosophical inquiry has clearly diminished. Literary aesthetic appreciation has shifted its focus from aesthetic realism, based on the study of textual features, to ways of reading. Peter Lamarque’s concept of narrative opacity is a clear example of this shift. According to the philosophy of literature, literature, like any other art form, does not compel us to engage realistically with it. Against this trend, this paper argues for the distinction between two kinds of opacity, defending textual opacity as a necessary condition for literary opacity. In this sense, examples in literary criticism properly illustrate not a peripheral role of meaning in literary appreciation, but arbitrariness in interpretation, which involves semantic concerns. So the assumed interest in the specific ways in which literature embeds meaning in fictional narrative works.
Notes On Reading
Authors: Barbero Carola
Published: September 2022

Reading starts with the act of perception and rapidly moves into an area concerning the recognition of written words. Word recognition consists of two aspects (functioning simultaneously and working in parallel): the phonological—converting groups of letters into sounds—and the lexical— giving access to a mental dictionary of the meaning of words. But what does the act of reading consist of? According to Peter Kivy, there is a parallel between reading texts and reading scores. And what about the reasons for reading? When we read, we are not just interested in understanding what the signs stand for, but we also activate memory, perception, problem-solving, and reasoning, and our attention is also devoted to identifying those characteristics of texts which help categorize them as works of a specific genre. Readers play a central role: without them and their activity, there would be nothing but a page of black spots. As they read and understand, readers propositionally imagine what is written and, at a further level, they may also imagine objectually and simulatively. These objects come into being thanks to the words that we imagine are similar to what Roman Ingarden sees as a skeleton, needing the experience of reading to be appropriately concretized.

Bishop, Kepler and Sarduy: Ellipse and Ellipsis
Authors: Cheema Amna Umer
Published: September 2022

This article expands on Elizabeth Bishop’s affinity with the Cuban poet and critic Severo Sarduy and his neo-baroque reading of the seventeenth-century mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler’s planetary geometry of the imperfect circle called the ellipse and its linguistic equivalent the ellipsis (Sarduy 293). This essay will elucidate the geometrical decentering of space and the linguistic decentering of meanings as characteristics of ellipse and ellipsis through a discussion of Bishop’s poems, “In the Waiting Room,” “The Bight” and “One Art.” I argue that Bishop’s engagement with ellips(e/is) is a spatial response to the destabilization of modern urban space and the gap between language and signification, akin to T.S. Eliot’s ideas about the gap between thought and feeling in modern sensibility. Through ellips(e/is), Bishop seeks a perspective outside definitive contours and finds beauty in an incomplete and distorted embodiment of an ever-becoming truth.
Energy-Efficient Illumination by Matrix Headlamps for Nighttime Automated Object Detection
Authors: Waldner Mirko , Müller Nathalie , Bertram Torsten
Published: September 2022

The contribution at hand presents a novel approach to generate dynamic energy-optimized illumination by matrix headlamps designed for automated driving. The approach consists of a novel basic minimal illumination adapted to the current road environment with minimum brightness and a light pixel control strategy to adjust the illumination of potential objects uniformly and selectively only. The approach was developed and optimized by considering the impact of other lighting functions such as Glare-Free High Beam and marker light on the quality of object detection and possible alternatives such as symbol projection with structured light. The concept achieves a similar quality of object detection as conventional high beam, but requires only around 16% of the energy. This shows the energy saving potential of automated vehicles in combination with novel headlight control strategies.

Authors: Tito Luis , Ordinola Elmer , Perea de la Matta Ángel , Alemán Solange
Published: September 2022

Se realizó la validación de la escala de madurez gonadal macroscópica de la concha pata de burro Larkinia grandis. Se analizaron 1228 gónadas recolectadas de enero a diciembre 2017, provenientes de la pesquería artesanal efectuada en los manglares de Tumbes. Por estar fusionadas las regiones muscular, visceral y gonadal, el corte histológico incorporó todas las zonas, pero solo se investigó la región gonadal, empleándose el método de infiltración en parafina y coloración con hematoxilina-eosina. Con base a la relación de las características observadas en el análisis histológico y observaciones visuales directas de las gónadas, se asignó a cada individuo una fase de madurez macroscópica. Se efectuó la descripción de las fases de madurez: 0 (virginal), I (reposo), II (en maduración), III (maduro), IV (desovante/expulsante) y V (recuperación/post expulsante). No se han encontrado estudios histológicos similares para organismos del mismo género, por lo que este trabajo servirá de referencia para futuras investigaciones. Se recomienda el empleo de esta escala validada para estimar la talla mínima de captura y la época de mayor actividad reproductiva de la especie, con la finalidad de proponer medidas demanejo que hagan sostenible su pesquería.

Gumboro or Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is one of the most important diseases in poultry industry. IBD causes economic losses as a result to mortality and reduction in performance and medicine expenses(de S. B. Fróes et al., 2018). IBD is Severe acute disease of 3-6-week-old birds is associated with high mortality, but a less acute or subclinical disease is common in 0-3-week-old birds (Sali, 2019). IBD virus causes lymphoid depletion of the bursa and if this occurs in the first 2 weeks of life, significant depression of the humoral antibody response may result. The current study aims to measurement of antibody titer and acute phase proteins (AGP and SSA) in broiler chickens subjected to the Gumboro vaccine to explore the intensity of the vaccine strain and the response of both the early innate immune response and late humoral immune responses (antibody titers) raised against the vaccine. A handed Ross 308 chicks were divided into three groups, control, intermediate and intermediate plus vaccine. At 10 days old, the chicks were vaccinated and then blood samples collected at 12, 24 hours, and 10 and 15 days.
Review on identification and quantification of genotoxic impurities
Authors: Sharma Ankit , Kumar Subrahmanya .K
Published: September 2022

Genotoxic impurities can be broadly defined as those impurities that have been demonstrated to cause harmful changes in genetic material regardless of the mechanism. Globally people suffer from various health complications due to genotoxic impurities. Recent recommendations from European and United States (USA) drug regulatory bodies mandate the management of genotoxic and possibly genotoxic contaminants in pharmaceutical ingredients at per million levels. The purpose of this review is to make a critical analysis of the techniques used to comply with the prevailing rules and regulations and very strict limits on genotoxic impurities. Possible strategies to further expand the scope of currently available technologies and regulations are also to be discussed. These strategies include redesigning the synthesis of the drug substance to avoid introducing problematic impurities; modifying relevant process parameters to eliminate or reduce such impurities to negligible levels; Using process understanding to demonstrate that a particular genotoxic impurity cannot be formed or removed efficiently and by conducting toxicity studies to demonstrate that a suspected impurity is not harmful to it at low levels.

Noting that the criminal justice system is concerned with the achievement of justice and restoring rights to their owners over the ages and times. Given the development that has taken place in the field of crime and the multiplicity of its forms and colors, and the difficulty of determining its merits by traditional means. Therefore specialists in various sciences have sought ways to solve thorny issues and invest that science to reduce and narrow crime in the service of justice and safeguard rights and freedoms. Since crime is an inevitable issue in different societies in keeping with human development and progress in different areas and levels, reducing it has been one of the major problems for States and individuals. Where states seek to reduce and mitigate their effects by providing security and safety to individuals and groups in order to preserve the safety of their lives, security for their lives and guarantee their right to life. So, specialists have developed more efficient alternatives to curbing crime and reducing its spread.

Human Resource Management strategies and practices vary but are all interrelated. They include planning, acquisition, development, integration, compensation, maintenance and separation. Kenya’s public sector faces a lot of pressure to enhance their performance levels as well as accountability and transparency in their operations. To do so, various agencies have adopted different strategies of decentralized HR practices and functionalities including decentralized training and development practices. How well the independent commissions manage their programmes to achieve their objectives is crucial to their success. Despite proof of devolved HR practices being beneficial, there is little research on the effect of devolving HR practices on the performance of employees. Based on this background, the study sought to examine the relationship between decentralization of training and development on employee performance in constitutional commissions in Kenya. The study adopted descriptive research design and targeted the heads of departments and HR coordinators and technocrats from the 10 constitutional commissions in Kenya resulting in a target population of 206 respondents. Census sampling was adopted and as such all the 206 respondents formed the sample of the study. Data used in the study was collected using structured questionnaires and was tabulated and analysed using SPSS Version 22. Qualitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies, means, standard deviation and was used to show the characteristics of the variables being investigated. The study also computed inferential statistics which included bivariate correlation and multiple regression analysis and they were used to show the association between the dependent and the independent variables. Analysed data was presented using tables and charts. The study found that decentralization of Training & Development significantly affects employee performance in constitutional commissions in Kenya. Furthermore, it was established that organizational culture significantly affects the relationship between decentralization of Training & Development and employee performance in constitutional commissions in Kenya. The study recommends constitutional commissions in Kenya to provide Training & Development opportunities to its employees. This is achieved by offering various forms of Training & Development such as management development, soft and technical skills development and well as Training & Development on personal effectiveness.

The shape inversion method can clearly invert the three-dimensional attitude of the magnetic target, but the shape inversion needs to obtain the position information of the magnetic target to be measured. In order to better determine the magnetic target position information, a magnetic target morphology inversion method is proposed, which fuses the physical property inversion results. The center position of the magnetic target is calculated by the physical property inversion method; the initial model is set, the module growth selection function is established by using the L2 norm and the distance constraint function, and the optimal growth module in the morphological inversion process is selected; through continuous iterative update, the magnetic The 3D pose of the target. The position error calculated by this method is less than 10% of the actual value, and the inversion coincidence rate is greater than 80%. The results show that this method can effectively improve the accuracy of morphology inversion.

The Development of Integration Theories in Hungary
Authors: Pallai László
Published: September 2022

Since the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, the idea of integration has been on the agenda in Hungary, as well as in Central and Eastern Europe. It materialized in the formulation of various federation and confederation plans. Even though these ideas were generally far removed from political reality and therefore, had little chance of being realized, they were nevertheless reformulated. In the 19th century, the federation ideas of the Habsburg Empire were dominant, which also meant preserving the territorial unity of historic Hungary. Between the two world wars, the most influential and resonant ideas were those of the Pan-European movement and those from the Germans in various forms of Mitteleuropa. After the Second World War, Soviet-style forms of integration prevailed. Following the political transitions, the so-called Visegrad concept gained new momentum and is now dominant in the region.
Romanian Theories of Central European Integration
Authors: Nastasă-Kovács Lucian
Published: September 2022

Central Europe, especially Eastern Europe, has always been the geographic convergence point of several Great Powers that exercised their influence on the region regardless of the wishes of smaller states or national/ethnical groups. At the mid-19th century, the political equation changed, and the desire for a new regional order was emerging at the ethnic group or small nation level. Their elites proposed projects and lobbied for several political constructions that would advantage their nations and help them define their new political development with some kind of autonomy/independence. The nation states and political turmoil in the second part of the century launched several integration and political construction projects designed to reshape the face of Eastern Europe following a more realistic representation system. During the 1848 revolution, many political and intellectual elites tried to consolidate new political construction projects for the Romanian principalities or minorities in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Central Europe became a place where the old order had reached its capabilities in managing and integrating the ethnic groups and nations in a satisfying way; imperial reflexes were no longer a solution for national inspirations. The Romanian principalities unification, the Ausglich, or the former Greek independence war, were just the tip of the iceberg of the need for political reshaping in Eastern Europe. In contrast, projects like the Danube Confederation were designed to secure autonomy and replace the old imperial approaches into a fragmented region. Mitteleurope and Eastern Europe became the central point of political debates, and the need for nations to secure their future became a significant issue on the political and cultural agenda. From the Romanian point of view, Popoviciu or Maiorescu’s projects and ideas became the central point of the debate. This chapter is a chronicle of these efforts and ideas, the flow of intellectual work in the European space to reshape the Eastern European region according to the needs of small nations and ethnic groups.
The Czech Concepts of East Central European Integration
Authors: Petráš René
Published: September 2022

The beginning of this chapter analyzes the conditions of the creation of the Czech nation and its geographical position; the chapter then focuses on the Czech concepts of European integration, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries. In the past, the Czech or Czechoslovak state has been relatively significantly involved in efforts for international cooperation and integration processes. The difficult international situation of a state often surrounded by several hostile neighbors, as it was between the world wars, usually contributed to this. In the years 1526–1918, Czech lands were part of the Central European Habsburg monarchy. In the 19th century, the Czech national movement primarily considered two integration concepts. These were based on transforming the monarchy into the protector of small—especially Slavic—nations (Austroslavism) or, exceptionally, efforts to cooperate with powerful Russia (Pan-Slavism). Between 1918–1938, Czechoslovakia strived for international cooperation and European integration; from 1948–1989, it was part of the Soviet bloc. The fall of the communist regime in 1989 was a major advantage to the majority interest of the society to ‘return to Europe,’ symbolized by joining Western European organizations.
The Effect of Online Education on the Teachers’ Working Time Efficiency
Authors: Tsekhmister Yaroslav , Yakovenko Olena , Miziuk Viktoriia , Sliusar Andrey , Pochynkova Mariia
Published: September 2022

The aim of this work was to study how the teachers’ working time efficiency changed with the transition to an online education. This work is the first to compare the teachers’ working time effectiveness for two forms of teaching. We used the evaluation of the teacher’s self-efficacy and the criteria for evaluating the educational course quality for this purpose. Teachers with the same efficiency and quality indicators were selected. The time spent by teachers on preparing and conducting offline (control group) and online (experimental group) classes was measured. Since the quality of the courses and the teachers’ effectiveness were the same, it was sufficient to compare only the time spent by teachers to achieve the same educational goals in order to compare working time efficiency. The research also involved a questionnaire survey. This study found that the current working time efficiency of teachers who work online is less than those who teach traditionally. However, the efficiency of the efficiency of teacher’s working time spent on the presentation of new material is higher with online education. This result can be achieved through using self-made video recordings of lectures. The results of the conducted research are of practical importance for teachers who work online. It allows finding the optimal ratio of time spent and results achieved. It is reasonable to further study the influence of a teacher’s age, gender, and pedagogical experience on the working time efficiency.

The article is aimed to check the effectiveness of the formation of professional competencies of future specialists in preschool education facilities under martial law. A structural-functional model was chosen as an experimental model of competence formation. Methods. The paper used interviewing and testing techniques, the method of expert analysis of students’ educational achievements. To identify the psychological characteristics of students’ educational motivation, we used the method for studying the motivation of learning at a university by T. I. Ilyina. The Welch's t-test and Student's t-test were used to comparing the levels. The results. Professional motives began to dominate in the majority of students (24%) after the end of the first stage of the experiment and the number of students who have formed professional competences increased significantly at the end of the experiment (4.8). It has been proven that the motivational-value component (2,8) plays a key role in the structure of the student’s professional competence. The results of the experiment allow us to conclude improvement of the levels of formation of future educators’ professional competence. The creative component showed special dynamics (58%). Conclusions. Despite the state of war, the structural-functional model demonstrates positive results in the formation of professional competencies. Prospects for further research should focus on the effective methods of organizing the educational process in wartime.

This study aims to analyze the causes of deviations in the project budget of Rp. 103,249,432.15 and the delay of time for 2 weeks in the clean water pipe installation project in Aek Najaji Village, Padang Sidempuan Batunadua District. This research was conducted at PT Arion Intan Jaya for the period March-July 2019. The data analysis technique used was descriptive analysis technique using Planning, Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) and Critical Path Method (CPM). The results showed that the high budget deviations and project time delays occurred due to rocky soil excavation activities, HDPE pipe installation and pipe stockpiling carried out per kilometer, from KM-1 to KM 6.5. The sequence of activities that are not suitable, causes a waste of time and variable labor costs as well as fixed costs. The total budget allocated for manpower is Rp. 456,435,000.00 for an implementation period of 150 days and the total realized labor cost is Rp. 522,745,000.00 with a project completion time of 164 days. If a review of critical activities is carried out using PERT and CPM, the project completion time changes to 96 days with a total cost of Rp. 413,760,000.00. So there is a decrease in the budget of Rp. 42,675,000.00.

Aim. To establish indicators of economic and energy efficiency in the cultivation of alfalfa-cereal mixtures under the influence of lime and fertilizers. Methods. Field, laboratory, mathematical-statistical, economic-mathematical. Results. The influence of lime and fertilizers on only alfalfa, alfalfa-cereal and only cereal agrophytocenoses was carried out during 2019−2021 in the Forest-steppe zone of Ukraine on dark gray podsolized coarse silt-light loam soil. The results of research on the study of economic and energy efficiency indicators are shown in terms of the cost of gross production, total costs, net profit, profitability per 1 hectare, cost of fodder units and raw protein, payback of total energy costs, gross and exchangeable energy output are calculated per1 ton. Conclusions. The use of symbiotic nitrogen fixed by alfalfa in its single and mixture crops with cereal increases the net profit from 6.9 to 27.1−35.0 or by 20.2−28.1 thousand UAH/ha, profitability − from 114 to 300−343%, KEE − from 5.7 to 10.9−12.4 and BEC − from 3.0 to 6.1−7.1, and the cost of 1 ton of fodder units decreases from 2.6 to 1.2−1.4 thousand UAH, and energy consumption per 1 ton of fodder units from 4.30 to 1.64−2.0 MJ. The annual application of P45K90 reduces net profit by 3.7−4.4 thousand UAH/ha, profitability by 160−168%, KEE by 1.6−2.5 and BEC by 0.6−1.3 and increases the cost price of 1 ton of fodder units − by 763−827 UAH and energy costs per 1 ton of fodder units − by 0.58−1.55 compare that to the option without fertilizers. The application of lime reduces the profitability of cultivation by 25−78%, KEE – by 0.2−1.0 and BEC – by 0.1−0.5 and increases the cost of 1 ton of fodder units – by 143−369 UAH/ha. The combined application of the fertilizers and lime reduces profitability by 55-194%, KEE by 2.1−2.8 and BEC by 1.0−1.5, and increases cost and energy costs per 1 ton of fodder units.
