SONG FREQUENCY SHIFTS IN AN URBAN BIRD SPECIES OPTIMIZE ACOUSTIC TRANSMISSION INSIDE NOISY URBAN AREAS
Authors: Villarreal Mauricio , Barrantes Gilbert , Sandoval Luis 
Published: December 2024

In animal acoustic communication is necessary that signals arrive to the receiver with reduced degradation and attenuation for a better transmission of the message. The noise pollution resulting from anthropogenic activities in cities reduces efficiency and efficacy of acoustic communication. Some species respond to high levels of noise increasing the minimum frequency of their vocalizations to avoid noise masking, but this may affect how sounds transmit in the environment because sounds with higher frequencies experience greater levels of attenuation and degradation. Using a transmission experiment, we analyzed how minimum frequency shifts, affect the sound transmission properties of the song of the House Wren (Troglodytes aedon) in urban areas that differ in the level of anthropogenic noise. We broadcasted songs with minimum frequencies between 1.2-1.8 kHz and the same songs with a minimum frequencies increment artificially of one semitone, increasing minimum frequencies to 2.1-2.6 kHz, in high and low noise level territories at four distances. We quantified signal-to-noise ratio, tail-to-signal ratio, blur ratio, and excess attenuation. Our results showed that songs with frequencies low minimum frequencies in low noise territories transmit with higher signal-to-noise ratio, and lower blur ratio and excess attenuation at longer distances. Songs with increased minimum frequencies only showed higher signal-to-noise ratio in noisier territories at longer distances. These results support the hypothesis of producing frequency shift to increase the communication distance in noisier environments. This is the first experimental study that tests the effect of shifting frequency on acoustic communication transmission on bird territories with different noise levels.

Published: December 2024

Este estudo resulta da experiência de psicanalistas que atuam em um hospital geral localizado em um município no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. O objetivo é reforçar a importância da presença do analista no hospital, apresentando exemplos de uma clínica que se dá na efemeridade. A metodologia conta com um estudo da literatura referente à área da psicanálise e da saúde, mas também leva em conta o estudo de casos atendidos no hospital em questão. Ao logo do texto, diferenciamos as intervenções de efeito psicoterapêutico rápido em psicanálise, da psicoterapia breve, apostando na primeira abordagem enquanto importante recurso, mesmo quando dispomos de um número limitado de atendimentos. Concluímos que é possível, pela via da psicanálise, tocar no que D’Angelo (2008) chamou de coordenadas da fantasia do sujeito, articulando esse conceito ao instante de ver, de Lacan (1998).

Hand-made Austro-Hungarian Maps of the Rio de Oro Coast
Authors: Besenyő János , Fülöp Sándor 
Published: December 2024

The two authors undertook an unusual task as part of a research – on Hungary and the Western Sahara issue – to reproduce manuscript maps known so far to only a few researchers. One of the authors of the study provided service as peacekeeper in Africa. However, when he was serving in the UN MINURSO peacekeeping mission, a Spanish colleague informed him that in 1899 the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy had almost bought Rio de Oro – present-day Western Sahara. He found useful material meeting with historian Mihály Krámli. He learned from him that in 1898 the Spanish had actually offered to buy the territory of Rio de Oro to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Although negotiations took place between the two powers, the deal failed. The author obtained handwritten German, French, and Spanish material. The handwritten material was difficult to read in some places, and the drawn maps were naturally burdened with geographical inaccuracies. There was a need for a GIS-based reproduction of the cartographic drawings in German by the author of the study. In this study, the two authors present the course and then the failure of the Spanish and Austrian negotiations and the process of the reproduction of cartographic drawings.

Published: December 2024

O objetivo deste estudo é descrever e analisar o motivo do colapso da maior empresa de energia, a empresa americana Enron, que é considerado um dos eventos que mais repercutiu na profissão de contabilidade e auditoria. Este estudo tem como foco a ética, considerada como preventiva e conservadora da ocorrência de colapsos e escândalos financeiros. Adotou-se a abordagem de análise descritiva, que contou com a metodologia indutiva, induzindo os estudos e pesquisas que objetivaram explicar e analisar os motivos do colapso da empresa Enron e conhecer as lições aprendidas com ela e os métodos para evitar escândalos financeiros como este. Vamos resumir algumas lições que podem ser aprendidas para evitar o mesmo destino da Enron e recuperar a confiança dos mercados financeiros, bem como das profissões de contabilidade e auditoria. Os resultados revelam que existem muitas razões para o colapso da empresa Enron, a mais importante é que a administração da empresa fez com que a inflação dos lucros ostensivamente chegasse a 1 bilhão de dólares no ano anterior ao colapso da empresa. Além disso, a auditoria interna da empresa falhou nos aspectos éticos e financeiros como resultado de engano contínuo, ganância, suborno, especulação e fraude.

Published: December 2024

شكل العراق أحد بنود الأجندة الغائبة عن سباق الانتخابات الأمريكية لعام 2021، على عكس الانتخابات السابقة التي كان حاضراً فيها وبقوة خاصة بعد احتلاله عام 2003، فلم يشير الرئيس (جوبايدن) خلال حملته الانتخابية بشكل صريح لسياسته في العراق حتى بعد مرور عامين على إدارته، ولم تحدد معالم سياسته تجاهه، مكتفيا بالإشارة لمنطقة الشرق الأوسط بكونها منطقة حروب ابدية لابد من تركها لدولها لتدير شؤونها بنفسها، واثار ذلك تساؤلات مهمة حول دور العراق في السياسة الأمريكية، وهل أصبح يمثل قضية سياسة خارجية ثانوية بالنسبة للولايات المتحدة في المرحلة المقبلة؟ وهل أعادت الحرب الروسية الأوكرانية للعراق أهميته بسبب إمكانياته من الطاقة؟
كلمات مفتاحية: العراق ومنطقة الشرق الأوسط، جوبايدن، حكومة تحالف الإطار التنسيقي الشيعي، الحرب الروسية -الأوكرانية، اتفاق الإطار الإستراتيجي.

A REVIEW USING DEEP LEARNING FOR OCULAR DISEASE DETECTION
Authors: R.Merlin D23EC502  , Dr.F.Vincy Lloyd  
Published: December 2024

Sight is the most important compared to all other senses because it is connected directly from eye to brain and helps to identify and recognize objects with ease. One of the most sensitive parts of the human body, it is susceptible to diseases such as glaucoma and Age-related macular degeneration. Computer-aided diagnosis is a branch of artificial intelligence that can aid doctors in identifying abnormalities. A brief medical background on imaging used to detect retinal diseases is provided in this paper, as well as details about some retinal diseases (Age Related macular, Cataracts, and Glaucoma). This also addresses the existing work on recognizing ocular diseases.
Síndrome Metabólico y Factores de Riesgo Relacionados en Jóvenes Ecuatorianos
Authors: Ruano Nieto César I. 
Published: December 2024

El síndrome metabólico se refiere a una combinación de hipertensión, obesidad abdominal, resistencia a la insulina e hiperlipidemia. Está asociado a otras condiciones como grados variables de alteraciones del metabolismo hidrocarbonado, ya sea diabetes mellitus o intolerancia a la glucosa, obesidad y resistencia insulínica. En la actualidad está demostrado que se trata de una situación de salud que promueve la aterosclerosis y la diabetes mellitus tipo 2. El síndrome metabólico era considerado hasta hace algunos años como una condición de la edad adulta, sin embargo, recientemente se ha demostrado una prevalencia creciente en niños, adolescentes y adultos jóvenes vinculada al aumento considerable de la obesidad y a un aumento de complicaciones como la morbimortalidad cardiovascular. Hacemos una revisión bibliográfica sobre síndrome metabólico y sus principales componentes en adultos jóvenes, grupo etario que por sus condiciones de vida está siendo más vulnerable para contraerlo, los mismos que de no corregirse van a dar como resultado que las complicaciones de este síndrome, como enfermedad cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, diabetes mellitus tipo 2, se presenten cada vez a edades más tempranas. Incluimos los resultados de una investigación realizada en jóvenes estudiantes de los primeros semestres de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de la Universidad Central del Ecuador. En poblaciones jóvenes el síndrome metabólico es mucho menos prevalente, por lo que se incluyó la medición de marcadores como el índice de masa corporal y marcadores de inflamación: citoquinas pro inflamatorias, proteína C reactiva ultrasensible, para tener un diagnóstico más cercano a su realidad.

Las unidades didácticas se constituyen en una herramienta de planificación de vital importancia, por cuanto permiten implementar, con coherencia pedagógica, todos los elementos y principios didácticos del proceso de enseñanza- aprendizaje. Ante las opiniones divergentes sobre las unidades didácticas en un siglo mediado por las tecnologías, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo el generalizar aquellas ideas y perspectivas que permitirían un proceso de más efectivo, acorde a la generación de esta Era Digital. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo, con enfoque descriptivo, basado en el estudio documental obras influyentes en las dos primeras décadas del Siglo XXI. Se utilizaron los motores de búsqueda de Google Académico y se escogieron aquellos estudios que parten de considerar el nivel de desarrollo del estudiante para asegurar la construcción de verdaderos aprendizajes significativos. Ellos permitieron valorar los referentes teóricos, pedagógicos y éticos que fundamentan el diseño de una unidad didáctica en el entrenamiento de profesores. Los resultados muestran que toda unidad didáctica debe responder a un hilo conductor que teje toda la unidad de programación, con la flexibilidad que debe caracterizar su diseño, condicionada por las particularidades del entorno, la experiencia y apreciaciones del docente, la situación académica de sus estudiantes, según el currículo. Se concluye que la programación por unidades didácticas permite secuenciar e integrar los contenidos, ejes transversales, sistema de evaluación, uso de las TIC, métodos de enseñanza de avanzada y estrategias de enseñanza aprendizaje, de manera coherente, dentro de cada unidad del programa de estudio, y en función de los objetivos generales del grado, de la materia y de la institución.
Administração Pública e memória administrativa: diálogos com a sociologia de Bourdieu
Authors: Ohlweiler Leonel Pires 
Published: December 2024

Este artigo examina o tema da memória administrativa sob a perspectiva sociojurídica e em diálogo com a praxiologia social de Pierre Bourdieu. O texto destaca a importância da memória social como campo de pesquisa e sua aplicação na Administração Pública. Assinala a necessidade de reafirmar a memória social como ação de caráter relacional, que ultrapassa posturas subjetivistas e objetivistas, e alude à compreensão memorial no horizonte dos campos do mundo social. Introduz aspectos relativos à sociologia crítica da memória administrativa, desnaturalizando a versão oficial da memória produzida pelo Estado, pois resulta das dinâmicas de poder do espaço burocrático e da atuação de agentes públicos dotados de capital simbólico. Conclui que a memória administrativa – tanto a organizacional quanto a institucional – tem a potencialidade da eficácia simbólica de dominação ou de emancipação, conforme a prevalência de interesses oficializados pelo jogo burocrático da memória. Neste estudo, empregou-se como método a pesquisa bibliográfica.
Por uma cultura jurídica decolonial: o pensamento colonizador e a necessidade de uma formação pluralista da magistratura brasileira
Authors: Frazão Hugo Abas 
Published: December 2024

O artigo investiga o legado do pensamento colonizador na cultura jurídica brasileira e suas manifestações na desigualdade social. Fortalece essa perspectiva a apresentação de decisões da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos que evidenciam a persistência das discriminações étnico-raciais e socioeconômicas no País. Com abordagens do Direito Constitucional Comparado e da História do Direito, o estudo confronta o pensamento hegemônico e o plural, bem como as constituições simbólicas e as transformadoras. Ancorado no princípio da igualdade e na apreciação da diversidade das culturas jurídicas, sugere que o constitucionalismo cultural é uma ferramenta potente para desconstruir o pensamento colonizador. Com o objetivo de propiciar a transformação decolonial do (e desde o) Judiciário, afirma a necessidade da contínua formação dos juízes em Direitos Humanos. Conclui que a internalização do pensamento decolonial e o respeito aos direitos humanos na educação jurídica é crucial para formar um Judiciário mais inclusivo e comprometido com a justiça e a equidade.
Végétation propice à la reproduction de la perchaude et du grand brochet et gestion des prairies dans la plaine inondable du lac Saint-Pierre

Published: December 2024

Le lac Saint-Pierre, qui contient la plus vaste plaine d’inondation du fleuve Saint-Laurent, procure d’importants habitats pour la faune durant la crue printanière. Les terres agricoles cultivées dans sa plaine inondable sont dominées par des cultures de maïs et de soya, qui ont engendré des pertes d’habitat et contribué au déclin de la perchaude (Perca flavescens) et du grand brochet (Esox lucius). Afin d’améliorer les pratiques agricoles en bordure du lac Saint-Pierre, la présente étude visait à caractériser le couvert végétal utilisé par ces 2 espèces pour la fraie et à identifier la période de fauche des prairies cultivées permettant de recréer les caractéristiques propices à leur reproduction. Les sites de ponte étaient composés majoritairement d’alpiste roseau (Phalaris arundinacea) et d’autres plantes herbacées dressées au port rigide. Un modèle conçu pour estimer la probabilité de trouver des oeufs au printemps affichait des valeurs de 50 à 95 % lorsque la hauteur de la végétation se situait entre 50 et 90 cm l’automne précédent. L’aménagement de prairies naturelles ou cultivées de façon extensive, à raison d’une récolte réalisée entre la mi-juillet et la fin-juillet, produirait des habitats pour la perchaude et pour le grand brochet tout en protégeant la nidification des oiseaux champêtres. La présente étude suggère qu’avec des usages plus extensifs, une conciliation entre les besoins de la faune et une exploitation agricole de la plaine inondable du lac Saint-Pierre est possible.

Background
Rice, a staple food for over half of the global population, exhibits significant diversity in grain shape characteristics, which impact not only appearance and milling quality but also grain weight and yield. Identifying genes and loci underlying these traits is crucial for improving rice breeding programs. Previous studies have identified multiple quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and genes regulating grain length, width, and length-width ratio; however, further investigation is necessary to elucidate their regulatory pathways and their practical application in crop improvement.

Methods
This study employed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 280 japonica rice varieties from northern China to decipher the genetic basis of grain shape traits. Phenotyping included measurements of 11 grain-related traits, such as grain length, width, and area, along with their brown and white rice counterparts. High-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers (33,579) were utilized for genotyping, and GWAS was performed using a mixed linear model (MLM) incorporating principal component analysis (PCA) and kinship (K) matrix to account for population structure and relatedness.

Results
Our analysis detected 15 QTLs associated with the 11 grain shape traits, of which five major QTL clusters emerged as crucial. Candidate genes, including LOC_Os01g50720 (qGL1), OsMKK4 (LOC_Os02g54600, influencing qBA2, qWL2, and qWA2), GW5 (LOC_Os05g09520, controlling qGW5, qBW5, qBR5, qWW5, and qWR5), GW6a (LOC_Os06g44100, associated with qGW6, qBW6, qBR6, qWW6, and qWR6), and FZP (LOC_Os07g47330, linked to qWL7), were identified based on functional annotations and haplotype analysis. These findings offer valuable insights into the genetic mechanisms underlying rice grain shape and suggest promising targets for marker-assisted selection to enhance rice quality and yield.
From cause to care: Can a triple approach to better population data improve the global outlook of congenital heart disease?
Authors: Botto Lorenzo D. 
Published: February 2020

AbstractCongenital heart disease (CHD) is common, costly, and critical. Approximately half of all infant deaths due to congenital anomalies are associated with CHD or neural tube defects. As infant mortality improves due to better infection control and peripartum care, congenital anomalies are becoming a key driver of pediatric survival and health. Improving CHD prevention and care globally will play a significant role toward key goals such as United Nation's sustainable development goals (SDGs) of good health and well‐being (SDG 3) and reduced inequalities (SDG 10). This review addresses two questions: how can we reinterpret and reframe available data on CHD to spur action in prevention and care? How can we re‐engineer how we currently track CHD in populations to efficiently generate new data to assess successes and detect gaps in prevention and care? Answering these questions requires understanding the causal chain of disease, from cause to CHD occurrence to health outcomes. This perspective provides a logical basis for two innovations. First, develop a data‐driven message that reframes epidemiologic and clinical data in terms of incentives for action, evidence for change, and strategies for population‐wide impact. Second, through partnerships between clinical and public health systems, implement an integrated “triple surveillance,” which, in the same population, concurrently tracks the three elements of the causal chain—causes, disease occurrence, health outcomes. By streamlining activities and minimizing operational waste, such systems can have a vital role in improving prevention and care on a population level, including in many low and middle‐income countries.
