Transformation of Relationship between Time Perspective and Life-Sense Orientations in Pathological Gamblers (Undergoing Rehabilitation Program)
Authors: Zinina A.Yu. , Gurieva S.D.
Published: October 2024

With the fast advancement of contemporary technologies and the increasing number of patients suffering from gambling disorders, comprehensive rehabilitation for gambling addiction is becoming an increasingly urgent problem and an essential field of work. The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between gamblers' time perspective and life-sense orientations in the course of a comprehensive rehabilitation program. The study involved 42 respondents (70 % male and 30 % female; mean age - 24.6 (SD = 2.4) who completed a gambling rehabilitation program for six months. Methodological tools include the author's questionnaire of socio-demographic characteristics, F. Zimbardo “Time Perspective Inventory”, “Life-Sense Orientations” - test by D. A. Leontiev. In our study, both positive and negative significant correlations were found between measures of gamblers' time perspective and life-sense orientations in the course of the rehabilitation program. The research results revealed changes in the development of positive correlations between the gamblers' time perspective and life-sense orientations, which may be indicative of time perspective harmonization, and an increasing interest in the process of life. The study's findings expand and deepen existing psychological ideas about the time perspective and life-sense orientations of individuals with gambling addiction, which can be applied to the development of effective treatment and rehabilitation programs as well as to the creation of gambling addiction prevention strategies.
Egoism and Morality: an Experimental Study and a Theoretical Discourse. Part 1
Authors: Levit L.Z.
Published: October 2024

The article is dedicated to clearing out the question, whether any egoism manifestation contradicts the morality norms. With this aim, the author firstly separates two types of situations, in which our representations concerning the moral values of actions can change significantly. Consequently, such types of (extreme as a rule) situations, as well as the moral conclusions based on them cannot be regarded as reliable for an ordinary everyday life. Next, the author searches for the daily life situations, in which an egoistic behavior of an individual could possibly contradict to the moral norms and values. Doing that, the author of the paper uses not only theoretical discourse, but also demonstrates the experimental results of his own longitudinal investigations conducted with the help of the Experience Sampling Methods (ESM). Within the daily blanks, among others, we used the so-called “egoism scale” (“good, benefit for oneself”) and the “altruism scale” (“good, benefit for other people”). We have found out, that the situations with a big predominance of the egoistic scores over the altruistic ones have really the signs of the egoistic individual behavior, but do not contradict to morality norms, since they are not connected to doing harm to other people - in distinction to some other hypothetical situations. The author strengthens his theoretical discourse with numerous illustrative examples. In general, he demonstrates and proves that negativel connotations a priori used by some moral philosophers in the notion of egoism are one-sided and erroneous to a large degree, not corresponding to the reality. Continuation of the discussion is planned.
“Enquadrando” a desigualdade e a igualdade de gênero: disputas e convergências entre deputadas no parlamento brasileiro
Authors: Almeida Carla , Soares da Silva Daniela , Potrich Maithê
Published: October 2024

Este trabalho analisa os discursos de deputadas brasileiras de diferentes campos ideológicos para compreender como a “desigualdade e a igualdade de gênero” são enquadradas como problemas que merecem respostas por parte do Estado. Procuramos conectar as discussões sobre a representação política de mulheres com as discussões que têm mirado o parlamento como um espaço para o avanço das pautas feministas. Para tanto, nossa referência é a tramitação de uma Proposta de Emenda Constitucional (pec) e um Projeto de Lei (pl) que evocaram temas vinculados aos direitos das mulheres: reforma da previdência social e combate à violência política contra mulheres. A fonte empírica incluiu os documentos oficiais produzidos na tramitação dos referidos projetos, os discursos parlamentares, bem como materiais publicados na imprensa. Consideramos que os discursos são construídos em contextos interativos que envolvem cooperação e/ou disputa, que cruzam e conectam Estado e sociedade civil.
Influence of region, experience, and subjective norm on the use of e-learning: Lesson from the insurance industry in Indonesia
Authors: Sancoko Sancoko , Hawadi Lydia Freyani , Yola Lin , Kesa Deni Danial
Published: October 2024

The effectiveness and efficiency of e-learning system in industry significantly depend on users’ acceptance and adoption. This is specifically determined by external and internal factors represented by subjective norms (SN) and experience (XP), both believed to affect users’ perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU). Users’ acceptance of e-learning system is influenced by the immensity of region, often hampered by inadequate infrastructure support. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate behavioral intention to use e-learning in the Indonesian insurance industry by applying Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). To achieve this objective, Jabotabek and Non-Jabotabek regions were used as moderating variables in all related hypotheses. An online survey was conducted to obtain data from 800 respondents who were Indonesian insurance industry employees. Subsequently, Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to evaluate the hypotheses, and Multi-Group Analysis (MGA) to examine the role of region. The results showed that out of the seven hypotheses tested, only one was rejected. Furthermore, XP had no significant effect on PU, and the most significant correlation was found between PEOU and PU. In each relationship path model, the role of region (Jabodetabek and Non Jabodetabek) had no significant differences. These results were expected to provide valuable insights into the components of e-learning acceptability for the development of a user-friendly system in the insurance industry.
The impact of alcohol consumption on economic growth in Thailand
Authors: Chanagul Chittawan
Published: October 2024

The nighttime economy has always been an important part of tourism in Thailand. The alcohol industry contends that lifting alcohol restrictions will promote tourism and, consequently, generate additional income. Endogenous Growth Theory, however, emphasizes on investing in human capital, innovation, and knowledge as the most important factors that affect economic growth for a nation. Alcohol consumption incurs opportunity costs, as households lose financial resources and time that could be invested in children’s development. Relaxing control measures to promote alcohol consumption should impede economic development by diminishing the quality of human resources. The paper, therefore, aims to estimate the impact of alcohol consumption on economic growth by using 1990–2019 annual data from Thailand. By adopting Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach, the results reveal that alcohol consumption has significant and negative effects on economic growth in the long run. The statistic tests demonstrate no presence of serial correlation, heteroskedasticity, as well as, endogeneity problems. The finding has been corroborated in international studies, in which alcohol consumption contributes to substantial social and economic costs of the society.
Modeling risky portfolios with guaranteed maximize returns under a patent race
Authors: Wang Ji , Xu Chunming
Published: October 2024

This paper studies the patent race problem of communication enterprises investing in communication technologies, and constructs a portfolio optimization model which considers the expected returns, investment risks, and replacement costs, in order to achieve the dual goals of maximizing the net investment income of backward enterprises and minimizing the expected investment risk. Through numerical experimental analysis, the optimal investment portfolio strategy under different risk levels and the impact of different risk levels on the net income of lagging company are obtained. The research results show that due to the backward research in the first stage of the backward enterprises, when their own investment decision-making power is relatively high, they can focus on the development of self-interested key technology areas in order to achieve the victory of the patent race.

Authors: Kooptiwoot Suwimon , Tharasawatpipat Chaisri , Choo-In Sivapan , Kayee Pantip , Javadi Bagher
Published: October 2024

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the imperative of physical distancing has underscored the necessity for telemedicine solutions. Traditionally, telemedicine systems have operated synchronously, requiring scheduled appointments. This study introduces an innovative telemedicine system integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enable asynchronous communication between physicians and patients, eliminating the need for appointments and providing round-the-clock access from any location. The AI-Telemedicine system was developed utilizing Google Sheets and Google Forms. Patients can receive dietary recommendations from the AI acting as the physician and submit self-reports through the system. Physicians have access to patients’ submitted reports and can adjust AI settings to tailor recommendations accordingly. The AI-Telemedicine system for patients requiring daily dietary recommendations has been successfully developed, meeting all nine system requirements. System privacy and security are ensured through user account access controls within Google Sheets. This AI-Telemedicine system facilitates seamless communication between physicians and patients in situations requiring physical distancing, eliminating the need for appointments. Patients have round-the-clock access to the system, with AI serving as a physician surrogate whenever necessary. This system serves as a potential model for future telemedicine solutions.
Genius loci of the city of Padua in the context of Slovak travelogues of the 19th century
Authors: Vargová Zuzana , Krauter Michal
Published: October 2024

The authors’ decision to “read” and semiotically analyse the city’s text based on travelogues stems from their aesthetic, historical and informational value, the possibility of incorporating them “into the network” of other texts about Padua, thus shaping city image. The authors’ research on Slovak literature and culture also determined the choice. As a time frame, the nineteenth century is not accidental; the Slovak cultural environment (the territory of present-day Slovakia) witnessed the development of the travelogue genre and journeys to Italy. By interpreting and semiotic analysis of the selected authors’ travelogues and works, the paper draws attention to the uniqueness of Padua, the ways of its representation and the grasping of the urban space, which until now despite its importance in education, sciences and art has remained unnoticed in literary studies. Considering that only four Slovak travellers included Padua in their writings during the studied period, all of their works were reviewed to uncover their texts’ semantic potential. Interpretive immersions thus reflect the experiential reception of the author’s city image and perceiving its architectural structure. Through this, the authors develop a network of texts about Padua and support the typological classification according to its specific function or image. This paper articulates a variant of the Slovak phenomenon of Italian travel and a view of the meanings associated with urban spaces and places. It reflects the importance of travel writing for understanding the (literary) cityscape and its transformations and opens space for further research on the subject.
Sobre la punitividad: Hacia una agenda de investigación sobre los cambios en el clima penal
Authors: Brandariz José Ángel
Published: October 2024

De la misma forma que ha sucedido en múltiples países del norte global, la tasa de encarcelamiento lleva descendiendo en España desde hace casi tres lustros. Esta circunstancia, junto con el descenso sostenido de las tasas de criminalidad, la disminución de la preocupación por el delito y el interés menguante de los partidos políticos por las cuestiones del delito y el castigo ha generado una moderación gradual del clima penal. El presente artículo indaga este cambio político-criminal proponiendo una agenda de investigación para su análisis, como contribución al desarrollo de una penología comparada que analice la etapa posterior al giro punitivo.
El modelo politicocriminal de la inclusión social
Authors: Díez Ripollés José Luis
Published: October 2024

El estudio propone una estrategia de intervención penal para el control de la delincuencia, es decir, un modelo politicocriminal, que pone el énfasis en los beneficiosos efectos que produce en la prevención socialmente asumible de la delincuencia un correcto modo de reaccionar de las agencias de control social penal. La correcta reacción de tales agencias va referida a aquellos colectivos que constituyen su objeto prioritario de control, en concreto, sospechosos, procesados, condenados y excondenados. El modelo propugna evaluar esas intervenciones bajo el prisma de su capacidad, tanto para recuperar, consolidar o no empeorar el nivel de inclusión social penal de esos ciudadanos, como para eliminar, reducir o no incrementar la exclusión social penal de esos mismos ciudadanos. Establecido el modelo, el estudio plantea una primera y detenida implementación de él centrada en las intervenciones penales que producen mayor exclusión social. En el marco de esa pretensión el estudio encuadra en sus primeras páginas la noción de modelo políticocriminal dentro del concepto y elementos constitutivos de la política criminal, así como del modelo político ysocioeconómico al que ha de ir referido. Las últimas páginas destacan la capacidad transformadora de los índices comparativos internacionales, entre los que se encuentra el RIMES, diseñado de acuerdo con la implementación aquí propuesta del modelo politicocriminal de la inclusión social.
Detectar situaciones de vulnerabilidad en sede policial ¿una misión imposible?
Authors: Fernández Molina Esther
Published: October 2024

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del análisis de 54 entrevistas realizadas para tratar de comprender cómo es el paso por el sistema penal de dos colectivos especialmente vulnerables (extranjeros que no conocen el idioma y personas con discapacidad intelectual). En concreto, el análisis se centra en la comprensión de los problemas para identificar la vulnerabilidad en sede policial. Los entrevistados han puesto de manifiesto que en muchas ocasiones la vulnerabilidad no es detectada y no lo es, no por una acción deliberada sino por la incapacidad del sistema para identificar y, en su caso, saber cómo proceder. De los discursos de los profesionales y de los testimonios de personas en situación de vulnerabilidad que han estado bajo custodia policial se deduce que, aunque la falta de formación y herramientas es un hecho, existen también otras razones que van más allá de la eficacia del trabajo policial y tienen que ver más con el contexto de custodia policial, la cultura policial, la misión que se encomienda a la policía, y unavisión más amplia de las políticas públicas sobre cómo y quién debe actuar para garantizar la equidad.

Authors: Pérez Jiménez Fátima , Faure Michael
Published: October 2024

La nueva Directiva europea de protección del medio ambiente mediante el Derecho penal, confirma la apuesta de la Unión por un sistema de garantía de cumplimiento de los sistemas jurídicos implicados en la protección del medio ambiente de manera que se consiga una coherencia y eficacia cada vez mayores. Esto implica que el Derecho administrativo sancionador debe ser un sistema debidamente articulado para que cumpla su significativo papel. Este trabajo explora empíricamente cómo es el funcionamiento de este sistema sancionador en la Comunidad autónoma de Andalucía. Se describe y analiza la información pública de los dos principales medios de control y disuasión: las denuncias y las inspecciones. Las opiniones de los Agentes de medio ambiente completan el panorama. Queda patente la necesidad de una mejora en la puesta en práctica y gobernanza.
Ideas y narrativas criminológicas en la literatura picaresca española
Authors: Redondo Illescas Santiago
Published: October 2024

Este trabajo analiza la presencia de ideas y narrativas de la criminología actual (sobre el delito, su explicación y su control) en los relatos de las novelas picarescas del Siglo de Oro español (el Lazarillo, el Guzmán de Alfarache, el Buscón, etc.). Para ello, se muestra la relación existente entre picaresca y criminalidad. Se describen las características principales de pícaros y rufianes, así como la presencia de las mujeres en la picaresca. La parte central del análisis se dirige a indagar los factores de riesgo y las explicaciones ofrecidas en las novelas picarescas acerca de la vida de sus protagonistas: disposiciones personales, elección racional, oportunidades delictivas, factores familiares, aprendizaje... Por último, se presta atención al castigo de los pícaros y a su eventual desistimiento o abandono de la vida pícara.
Las constelaciones de la perversidad. Hacia un modelo multi-dimensional de la psicopatía
Authors: San Juan Guillén César
Published: October 2024

La clasificación de los trastornos de la personalidad ha estado sistemáticamente sometida a una serie de dilemas conceptuales, metodológicos e incluso éticos. En este contexto, cabe indicar que la psicopatía no ha estado incluida en el vademécum psiquiátricoDSM5 asimilándola, con algunos matices, al trastorno de la personalidad antisocial. Sin embargo, la experiencia profesional en el campo de la salud mental y la criminología sugiere que la realidad de este constructo psicológico es algo más compleja. De hecho, en las personas “diagnosticadas” de psicopatía lo que podemos observar es una gran heterogeneidad de perfiles de personalidad, con diversos grados de perversidad o profundidad emocional que convierten algunos instrumentos tradicionales de evaluación de la psicopatía en herramientas muy limitadas para entender su compleja constelación de aristas. En este artículo se ofrece una revisión actualizada de los hallazgos más recientes sobre la personalidad psicopática cuya definición tendría mejor encaje en un mapa conceptual conformado por diversos parámetros de carácter cognitivo, conductual, interpersonal y emocional. Como resultado de este nuevo enfoque han surgido diversas herramientas de evaluación entre las que destacamos las diferentes versiones del CAPP (Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality). Si bien es evidente que es precisa más investigación en este campo, los hallazgos disponibles que asumen un enfoque multidimensional son prometedores para avanzar en una comprensión holística e integral de la personalidad psicopática.

Authors: Varona Gema
Published: October 2024

En este artículo descriptivo se parte de la relación entre la criminología y la criminalística verdes para abordar el trabajo de la organización Forensic Arquitecture. Se examinan los casos de violencia medioambiental que dicha agencia ha tratado hasta el momento para poner sobre la mesa las potencialidades y limitaciones de su enfoque en línea con una criminología pública. En concreto, se pone de relieve la relevancia de visualizar y recrear la fenomenología de diversos daños medioambientales y su impacto, navegando entre el activismo, el arte, la ciencia y la tecnología. Se termina con unas notas sobre la posibilidad de reenfocar este trabajo como forma de dar voz a la interdependencia de formas de vida humanas y no humanas en procesos restaurativos. Se ha elegido este tema para celebrar los 30 años del Boletín Criminológico porque refleja terrenos comunes para una criminología interdisciplinar y aplicada, atenta a formas graves de victimización tradicionalmente olvidadas que deben ser abordadas desde diferentes perspectivas.
Costruire il Caos. Alle origini della magia salomonica
Authors: Albrile Ezio
Published: October 2024

Si può dire che i protagonisti dei testi gnostici sono gli Arconti: manipolano la mente dell’uomo, ne modificano la percezione. Alcuni testi di Nag Hammadi parlano di libri che dovrebbero servire al lettore per comprendere meglio la complessa natura di queste potenze astrali; si tratta di libri a carattere ermetico e magico inevitabilmente perduti, il cui contenuto è possibile ricostruire attraverso supposizioni comparative. Uno in particolare ha avuto una grande posterità, il Libro di Salomone, che può dirsi l’archetipo di tutti i trattati di magia salomonica che imperverseranno con sortilegi e malefizî dal Medioevo all’età moderna. Unodi questi libri è stato da noi studiato a partire da un codice manoscritto greco (Ms. C. VII. 15: Opuscula varia astronomica) posseduto dalla Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria di Torino.
La Osa y Hécate en la Invocación del PGM VII 686-702
Authors: López-Carrasco Nerea
Published: October 2024

Estudio de la invocación a la Osa en el PGM VII 686-702 cuyo objetivo es averiguar la divinidad superior con la que el autor de la práctica mágica asocia a la Osa en este caso. Para ello recurro principalmente al análisis de los epítetos, voces magicae y teónimos presentes en el texto y, en segundo lugar, a la comparación con otras dos invocaciones a la Osa en el PGM IV (1275-1330 y 1331-1389). Mi propuesta es que se trata de Hécate, bien porque la Osa se asocia a ella o bien porque se identifica con ella (sincretismo Osa-Hécate).

Un trattato anonimo bizantino di chiromanzia
Authors: Costanza Salvatore
Published: October 2024

Un trattato bizantino edito da Fr. Boll (1908) è un testimone di notevole rilievo per la chiromanzia greca, data l’assenza di documenti di età ellenistica ed imperiale romana in materia, mentre una fiorente produzione si registra in ambito mediolatino e notoriamente anglonormanno. Un’ulteriore acquisizione della tradizione manoscritta (Laur. 28.13) insieme con una riconsiderazione dei rapporti intertestuali è alla base della presente riedizione. Questo scritto mostra notevoli connessioni con altre pseudo-scienze divinatorie del periodo bizantino, con l’astrologia in primo luogo, ma anche con la palmomanzia, il metodo di esaminare i tremiti del corpo umano ed omoplatomanzia, le cui predizioni sono tratte dall’osso della scapola di un animale.

Sound Quality Prediction Method of Dual-Phase Hy-Vo Chain Transmission System Based on MFCC-CNN and Fuzzy Generation
Authors: Li Jiabao , An Lichi , Cheng Yabing , Wang Haoxiang
Published: October 2024

redict the sound quality of dual-phase Hy-Vo chain transmission system noise using a small sample size. Noise acquisition tests are conducted under various working conditions, followed by subjective evaluations using the equal interval direct one-dimensional method. Objective evaluations are performed using the Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC). To understand the impact of the MFCC order and the frame number on prediction accuracy, MFCC feature maps of different specifications are analyzed. The dataset is expanded threefold using fuzzy generation with an appropriate membership degree. The convolutional neural network (CNN) is developed, utilizing MFCC feature maps as inputs and evaluation scores as outputs. Results indicate a positive correlation between the frame number and prediction accuracy, whereas higher MFCC orders introduce redundancy, reducing accuracy. The proposed CNN method outperforms three traditional machine learning approaches, demonstrating superior accuracy and resistance to overfitting.
Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor PET/CT as an emerging diagnostic modality in interstitial lung disease and other fibrotic conditions
Authors: Albu Mihai Tudor , Matei Alexandru-Emil , Distler Jörg H. W. , Giesel Frederik L. , Mori Yuriko
Published: October 2024

Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) encompass a wide range of disorders characterized by alveolar inflammation and fibrotic tissue remodeling, marked by significant morbidity and mortality. Systemic sclerosis (SSc), among other connective tissue diseases, is a frequent cause of ILD. Assessment of pulmonary fibrosis is frequently constrained by the delayed manifestations of profibrotic activation of fibroblasts, which results in late macroscopic alterations detectable by standard imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. 68Ga-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitors (68Ga-FAPI [fibroblast activation protein inhibitor]) are novel radionuclides used in the selective positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) detection of profibrotic fibroblasts, a key player in fibrotic tissue remodeling. Application of 68Ga-FAPI in different target organs undergoing fibrosis, such as lung and heart, highlights its efficacy in detecting ongoing fibrotic processes, since FAPI tracer uptake has been correlated with clinical disease progression markers in SSc-ILD. This feature could enable physicians to detect subclinical fibrotic activity and tailor an individualised therapy plan on a case by case basis. The use of 68Ga-FAPI in ILD and other fibrotic conditions may emerge as a novel tool in future clinical practice for both activity monitoring and treatment optimisation. Other tracers tested in ILD of different etiologies have shown promising results and may in future also be considered for potential application in SSc-ILD.
Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease: How to manage in 2024?
Authors: Bautista-Sanchez Rocio , Khanna Dinesh
Published: October 2024

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) or scleroderma is an autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysregulation which leads to progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is present in approximately 65% of patients with SSc and it accounts for approximately 40% of all SSc deaths. Risk factors associated with the development of systemic sclerosis related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) include male sex, African heritage, high modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS), presence of anti-Scl-70/Topoisomerase I antibodies, and nucleolar pattern on antinuclear antibody (ANA). The primary tool to diagnose ILD in patients with SSc is high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Full pulmonary function tests (PFTs) with diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLco) and ambulatory desaturation testing should be obtained following the diagnosis of SSc-ILD for disease monitoring.

The purpose of this review is to provide an updated guide for the management of SSc-ILD. Our proposed first line treatment for SSc-ILD is immunosuppressive therapy such as mycophenolate mofetil, tocilizumab, and rituximab which are discussed in depth, and we present the evidence-based data that has justified the use of these pharmacotherapies. Other immunosuppressive treatments are also reviewed, and we discuss the role of antifibrotic therapy. Finally, we dive into other avenues of treatments such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

This community service has the aim of providing education by way of direct workshop. A total of 31 respondents in this community service activity were the people of Gampong Peunayong, Banda Aceh City, Kuta Alam District. Gampong Peunayong as the farthest village is seldomly supported by Banda Aceh government programs, thus the area is less independent. The service group has departed for this village to carry out workshop activities on making medicated oil. This medicated oil making workshop from the Engineering Faculty, Syiah Kuala University was designed because medicated oil has many uses, most of which can eliminate discomfort in the body. This community service is a description service activity through a cross sectional approach. The outputs of the community service activity are the production of medicated oil as an analgesic, increased knowledge of the people of Gampong Peunayong about the rational and wise use of medicated oil, the identification of qualified oil, as well as the drying of oil-producing plants. Based on the community service activity, it is concluded that education with workshops on making medicated oil has increased the skills and understanding of the community awareness and understanding of the community about using gandapura oil as an analgesic.

Paggora Water Park, a once-popular tourist destination, has experienced significant degradation in its facilities and infrastructure due to the prolonged COVID-19 lockdown. This paper examines the urgent need for comprehensive renovation and tourism design concepts to restore and enhance the park's appeal based on the opinions of Paggora Water Tourism visitors using quantitative methods, which will be analyzed using multiple linear regression techniques, ultimately providing a design concept that will fit with the service quality and visitor satisfaction. Five independent variables will be tested with the dependent variable (visitor satisfaction): tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The results of the quantitative analysis show that the variables influencing visitor satisfaction are the tangible (positive influence) and the assurance variable (negative influence). The proposed design concept aims to apply the results of survey and quantitative analysis—improving facilities or physical forms to increase visitor satisfaction—creating an engaging and memorable visitor experience. These findings also highlight the renovation process that the team undertook and the potential for Paggora Water Park to serve as a model for similar facilities facing maintenance and resource challenges

Abstract
Ex-mining land or what is commonly called tailings can have a negative impact on the environment if it is not treated properly, so remediation needs to be carried out, one of which is by applying fertilization. This study wanted to see how compost can change the appearance and workings of the soil from a mine. They will try using different types and amounts of compost, and also see if adding plant food helps plants grow better in this soil. They use special means to ensure the test is fair. The factors observed were the compost factor which consisted of four levels, namely: D1: 0 g (100% tailings); D2: 10 g/poly bag (2.7% compost); D3: 20 g/poly bag (5.4% compost); and D4: 30 g/polybag (7.8% compost). Parameters observed included plant height, leaf width, fresh weight and dry weight. The results showed that the dose of cow manure compost at a dose of 30 g/polybag produced the best growth of mustard greens, namely plant height 29.00 cm, leaf width 7.00 cm, wet weight 19.67 g, and dry weight 5.33 g.

ASEAN Regionalism in the Implementation of Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Management
Authors: Wangke Humphrey
Published: October 2024

Objective: This article analyzes how ASEAN countries utilize regional mechanisms in implementing humanitarian assistance and disaster management.
 
Method: Using the qualitative method, this article shows that ASEAN regionalism in disaster management is quite effective. Secondary data is obtained through library research, utilizing various publications such as books, journals, documents, and the Internet.
 
Results and conclusion: The research results show that ASEAN has made protecting society from natural disasters one of its goals since its formation. But the unequal capacities of ASEAN countries have driven different domestic levels of responses. ASEAN regional cooperation maximizes ASEAN’s capacity by unifying each country’s capabilities in ASEAN’s relations with the extra-regional powers. Even though it has the principle of non-intervention, the existence of the ASEAN Coordinating Centre on Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management (AHA Center) has removed the obstacles for parties who wish to send out aid to disaster areas in ASEAN member states.
 
Originality/value: ASEAN has produced various mechanisms for handling victims of natural disasters. In its development, the efforts to protect against natural disasters have become very important because they have become an aspect of non-traditional security. Therefore, what ASEAN faces is not only the natural disaster itself but also how to save its citizens from non-traditional security threats.
Municipal Waste Treatment: Climate Change Mitigation Impacts and Carbon Credit Market Effects
Authors: Borges Jatyr Fritsch , Figueiredo João Carlos Manuel , Miguel Fidel Luís Felismina , Silva Adriana Ferreira da
Published: October 2024

Objective: Analyze the feasibility of proposing a comprehensive methodology for inventorying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from urban waste, with the goal of enhancing the attractiveness of carbon credits and demonstrating their impacts on climate mitigation.
 
Theoretical Framework: The research is grounded in theories related to climate change, the circular economy, and urban waste management. Global warming is discussed through the works of authors such as David Wallace-Wells and José Goldemberg, alongside concepts from the GHG Protocol and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
 
Method: The methodology involves a bibliographic review, document analysis, and exploratory research using secondary and qualitative data. Scientific articles and documents from organizations such as the IPCC and EMBRAPA, among other academic sources, were utilized.
 
Results and Discussion: The research emphasizes that proper management of urban waste, aligned with the principles of the circular economy, can substantially reduce GHG emissions. "Zero Waste" projects are analyzed as viable alternatives for mitigating emissions and obtaining carbon credits. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of products is identified as crucial for inventorying emissions across various stages of the life cycle, thereby facilitating the certification process for carbon credits.
 
Research Implications: The proposed methodology can encourage new investments in recycling and waste reuse, as well as support the establishment of waste treatment units that maximize resource recovery and minimize environmental impacts.Originality: This study contributes to the literature by presenting an innovative approach to the management of urban waste and carbon credits, highlighting the importance of LCA in certifying reduced emissions.
 
Originality: This study contributes to the existing literature by introducing an innovative approach to urban waste management and carbon credits, underscoring the importance of LCA in the certification of reduced emissions.
Inferential and Macrostructural Ability in Multimodal Texts
Authors: Torres-Orihuela Guido , Castro Miriam Rosario Flores , Luna Ferly Elmer Urday
Published: October 2024

Objective: To evaluate inferential and macrostructural ability through three types of multimodal artifacts: verbal, graphic-mathematical, and complete text (which integrates all semiotic modes).
 
Theoretical Framework: This section explores the key concepts of multimodality theory, as well as the notions of inferences and multimodal ability, which are fundamental to addressing the research problem. The main theories and concepts supporting the research are presented, providing a solid foundation for understanding the study's context.
 
Method: A mixed methodology was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative phase adopted a correlational ex post facto design, while the qualitative phase was carried out through a focus group. The quantitative study followed a factorial experimental between-subjects design, considering two dimensions: the participants' professional program and the semiotic systems present in the comprehension test.
 
Results and Discussion: It was concluded that the type of multimodal artifact does not significantly affect the efficient identification of inferences or macrostructural reduction. This suggests that students exhibit a low level of multimodal ability.
 
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of the research are analyzed, providing insights into how the results can influence or be applied to practices related to multimodal comprehension.
 
Originality/Value: The research highlights that universities, in general, do not pay sufficient attention to multimodality, which negatively impacts students' multimodal competencies.
