Lecturas críticas sobre el Barroco americano
Authors: Barisone José Alberto 
Published: December 2024

Baroque aesthetics has moulded artistic and literary production during the period in which the colonial order was consolidated in Spanish America. But apart from its peak in the 17th. century, it has had various derivations in the 20th century through recognition and reinforcement of its meaning carried out by a group of writers.Besides the critical and historiographical problems that Baroque presents to literary scholars, we have to add the process of appropriation, adaptation and reshaping which this aesthetics has undergone in Latin America. Our hypothesis is that the ‘Indias Baroque’ produced not only great creative works but also plural theoretical proposals through the period,We propose to approach a selection of texts in the historiographical, critical and theoretical mood referring to Baroque in different times and various perspectives. The chosen corpus include the ‘ Apology in favour of Don Luis de Góngora’ by Espinosa Medrano, opinions by Juan María Gutiérrez and Rubén Darío in the 19th century and the proposals made by Alfonso Reyes, Pedro Henríquez Ureña and Mariano Picón-Salas in the 20th century.We propose to make a metacritical journey in order to give a historical character to opinions developed about Baroque in Latin America.
La higrofilia como desperdicio del lenguaje en Cobra de Severo Sarduy
Authors: Lúquez Fonseca Jesús 
Published: December 2024

Undoubtedly, in these times the struggle for the expansion of the literary canon operates from the language, specifically, from its transgressive character. Cobra (1972) by Severo Sarduy is an example of this type of work in which the beautiful and ornate word surrenders so that a colossal monument of the degradation of language rises, with characters that experience in their bodies that subversion of the canon that gives entrance to a literature, no longer based on solemnity, but on the abject. The transgressive character of Cobra can be seen in the waste of language and with which I seek to show that such excess finds its fullness in the spilling of bodily fluids. The characters in the novel experience the hygrophilia: they enjoy the emanation of blood, urine, semen, sweat, stools, etc., while they reduplicate, stretch the meanings of things with an aesthetic management. Is not Cobra, then, a faithful expression of the neo-baroque that ends up fragmenting its contours and proposing a different representation of art?
Antes que el silencio. Poemas de Gaspar Pío del Corro
Authors: Rennella Patricia 
Published: December 2024

En relación con el silencio como fenómeno lingüístico y antropológico, diversas figuras que han actuado como referentes en su campo intelectual como SusanSontag, Georg Steiner y Santiago Kovadloff, han coincidido en señalar su relevancia en todas las ramas del arte contemporáneo,al menosdesde las vanguardias artísticas de principios del siglo XX. Así, la presencia de una verdadera “estética del silencio” que sería visible, en el caso de la poesía, en fenómenos como la brevedad, la reticencia, el fragmentarismo, la supresión y el carácter hermético del mensaje, nos habla de una revalorización de aquello que alguna vez fue conceptualizado simplemente en forma negativa, como exponente de ausencia, vacío e indeterminación, tarea que se invierte en la consideración positiva de un verdadero “decir significativo” del silencio, un decir elocuente, pleno de sutileza y sugerencia, y cargado de potencialidades inéditas a la hora de pensar y poetizar. Estas afirmaciones servirán de marco introductorio a la hora de comentar algunas perspectivas de análisis relativas al libro que hoy nos convoca, la reedición del poemario Antes que el Silencio de Gaspar Pío del Corro (primera edición, 1997), figura descollante de las letras de Córdoba por sus múltiples perfiles intelectuales, académicos y creativos. A la luz de estas reflexiones, podemos anticipar que ”antes que el silencio”, a la manera de una implícita proclama, significa antes que la concesión y la renuncia al ideal, antes que la indiferencia o el servilismo hacia los abusos del poder, antes que la trivialización y la mirada corrosiva del hábito enmascaren la diafanidad de un mensaje que se sabe urgente y necesario, impelido por una voluntad de proferición largamente retenida; se trata, en suma de una “lírica terminal”, como en alguna oportunidad la llamó su autor y también, como veremos luego, de una lírica de umbrales o de bordes.

Authors: AL-Waeli Muhannad , Merjan Ali 
Published: December 2024

Summary:
This study was carried out to spotlight on the effect of Pallas herbicide residues of isolates of Alternaria alternata in increasing their pathogenicity and stimulating them to cause symptoms of cowpea leaf spot in deferent region of Babylon Governorate, Iraq.
The results of pathogenicity test using radish seeds revealed the ability of three isolates of Alternaria alternata to reduce the percentage of radish seeds germination significantly compared with control treatment.
The results showed that the development of the inoculum for the tested isolates on a nutrient medium that was previously prepared with 5 ppm of the herbicide Pallas has contributed to increasing the pathogenicity of these isolates by significantly reducing the percentage of cowpea seeds by following the blotting paper folds technique, Similar results were obtained after supplementation the liquid medium of fungal isolates with 5 ppm of the herbicide Pallas in studying liquid fungal infiltrates in cowpea seedlings infection.
The results of the greenhouse were confirmed with laboratory experiments results, The concentration of 5 ppm of the herbicide Pallas had a significant effect on increasing the pathogenicity of isolates of the fungus Alternaria alternata. These pathogens significantly reduced the percentage of germination of cowpea seeds in the potting soil, and reduced the heights of infected plants and significantly reduced dry weight compared to the control treatment. Increasing the appearance of leaf spot symptoms on true leaves of cowpea plants treated with sporophyte suspension prepared with 5 ppm of Pallas herbicide.

Authors: Abbas Arkhees Jleeb  , Majid Hazim Al-Heidary  
Published: December 2024

The efficiency of spray applications in agricultural fields is directly affected by nozzle characteristics and sprayer operating parameters. This work investigates the optimization of a comment spray nozzle characteristics in laboratory conditions by testing the effect of different nozzle sizes and air-assisted speeds on the spray pattern including spray width, spray angle, and accumulated amount of spray deposited on the target zone. Four flat fan nozzle sizes (0.3, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.8) and three air-assisted speeds (3.5, 6.5, and 9.5 m s-1) were used. All measurements were performed at the working pressure of 2 bar and a spraying height of 25 cm. Collected data were analyzed using factorial experiments using a completely randomized block design. To test the significance differences between the treatments studied, the least significant difference (L.S.D.) test at the 0.01 probability level was used. Preliminary results showed a significant difference of nozzle size, air-assisted speed, and their interactions on spray characteristics. A larger flat fan nozzle size (0.8) generally produces wider spray patterns. Whereas, the air-assisted speed increases by 9.5 m.s-1 enhances the dispersion of spray droplets, resulting in wider coverage, affected by the result of accumulated spraying, and reducing the deposition efficiency on the grooves of the accumulated liquid collection device. However, the optimal spray width (0.65m) and spray angle (52°) for maximum spray volume (1.6 L.min-1) are achieved when these factors are carefully balanced at nozzle size (0.6) and air assistance speed (6.5 m.s-1). The results of this study provide a comprehensive analysis of how varying these factors affect the spray features and provide practical guidance for optimizing spray characteristics to achieve desired results in different spray applications. The results underscore the importance of selecting nozzle size and air-assisted speed settings for the specific operating conditions to enhance spray effectiveness and efficiency

Normalized solutions for biharmonic Schrodinger equations with potential and general nonlinearity
Authors: Zou Fengwei , Yao Shuai , Sun Juntao 
Published: December 2024

We study the existence and non-existence of normalized solutions to the biharmonic equation $$ \Delta ^2u-\Delta u+V(x)u+\lambda u=f(u) \quad \text{in }\mathbb{R}^N. $$ where \(0\neq V(x)\leq V_{\infty }:=\lim_{|x|\to \infty }V(x)\in (-\infty ,+\infty ]\) and \(f\in C(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})\) is a nonlinearity. For the trapping case of \(V_{\infty }=+\infty\), under some suitable assumptions on \(f\), we prove that there exists a ground state as a global minimizer of the corresponding energy functional. For the case of \(V_{\infty }<+\infty\), under some other assumptions on \(f\), we prove that there exists \(\bar{\alpha}\geq 0\) such that a global minimizer exists if \(\alpha >\bar{\alpha}\) while no global minimizer exists if \(\alpha <\bar{\alpha}\). Moreover, the size of \(\bar{\alpha}\) is also explored, depending on the potential \(V\).

INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE IN LEGAL REGULATION OF HEALTH INSURANCE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Authors: Mansurjon Sotivoldievich Boltaev 
Published: December 2024

Objective: This study aims to conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of international health insurance systems, focusing on the legal regulation of health insurance to identify strengths and weaknesses. The goal is to develop evidence-based recommendations to improve Russia’s mandatory health insurance (MHI) system, addressing issues like funding, access to services, care quality, and legal frameworks. Method: The research applies a theoretical framework built on domestic and international scholarly works related to health insurance and insurance law. The study uses general scientific methods like analysis, synthesis, and comparison, complemented by comparative legal analysis and institutional review. Empirical data are drawn from legal acts, statistical data from organizations like WHO and ILO, and case studies. Results: The research identifies key health insurance models: state-funded (e.g., UK, Canada), social insurance (e.g., Germany, France), and private insurance (e.g., U.S.), each with distinct advantages and challenges. Global trends include an increasing role of the state in health insurance regulation and efforts to expand universal coverage. Countries are evolving from selective to universal health insurance systems, focusing on accessibility, affordability, and quality of care. Novelty: The study highlights the applicability of international models for enhancing Russia’s MHI system, focusing on expanding state regulation and ensuring universal coverage. Key recommendations include improving regulatory frameworks, addressing coverage gaps for specific groups like the self-employed and rural populations, and strengthening accountability among insurers and providers.
CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE'S CONTRACT
Authors: Elbek Tayufovich Musayev 
Published: December 2024

Objective: This study aims to analyze the legal framework governing sports contracts in Uzbekistan, identify challenges in the current regulations, and propose recommendations for improvement, focusing on the classification of sports contracts as labor, civil-law, or hybrid agreements. Method: A comparative legal analysis was conducted, examining national and international legal frameworks, including Uzbekistan’s legislation, the Civil Code of Belarus, and labor regulations in Germany, Mexico, and Chile. A doctrinal approach was employed to explore legal debates on the classification of sports contracts. Results: The findings reveal that sports contracts occupy a unique legal space, blending elements of labor and civil-law agreements. In Uzbekistan, ambiguities persist in the “Law on Physical Culture and Sports,” which does not explicitly favor labor or civil-law contracts. By contrast, countries like Belarus explicitly recognize hybrid contracts, offering greater flexibility. Comparative analysis highlights that countries like Italy and Spain, which integrate sports-specific legislation with general labor laws, provide a balanced approach. These frameworks could serve as models for Uzbekistan. Novelty: This research contributes to the discussion by proposing the adoption of hybrid contracts as a solution to legal ambiguities. Hybrid contracts can balance the operational flexibility required by sports organizations with the social protections necessary for athletes, aligning Uzbekistan’s regulations with international best practices.
幻魅都市：張美君博士香港電影研究論文集
Authors: 張 美君 
Published: December 2024

已故學者張美君博士（1958–2015）專研香港文學與電影，她從膾炙人口的香港電影中，窺見對香港複雜而矛盾的情緒，洞悉作品和它產生的時代如何密不可分。由《瘋劫》和《胭脂扣》到《香港製造》和《細路祥》，自 《阮玲玉》與《甜蜜蜜》到《長恨歌》與《歲月神偷》，電影作品的影像與聲音，在這本論文結集中堆疊成一座鬼影幢幢的幻魅都市。

張美君的「鬼魅評論」非關鬼片，也不必有亡靈鬼怪，而是電影的聲音和空間裡濔漫着一種幽森的感覺。自八十年代以降，各種危機一直與香港如影隨形，所謂鬼魅只是危機城市裡被隱抑的種種。書中的六篇文章把電影中的情感視為對當下危機的回應，釐清當時個人與社會所面對的問題。

〈情迷樂韻〉透過南音與鄧麗君的流行曲，思考因九七而來的身份認同問題；〈沒有陌生人的世界〉則藉着與身體離析的聲音，探究城市開放與流動帶來的挑戰； 〈上海魅影〉在關錦鵬的「上海三部曲」裡聽到「香港曲調的雜音」，把雙城對話想像成人鬼對談；〈草根香港〉回溯公屋歷史及其在影視的再現，引申到甚少受注目的階級論述；〈幻變我城〉考察三部橫跨二十年的電影中的家居空間，回顧全球化與城市變遷如何影響着空間敘事；〈在地的迷思〉深入剖析新千禧電影中的戀地情結，指出新地方誌電影如何回應後九七的新興感受結構。

細味張美君對電影的思考，讓我們能夠從另一個角度審視香港電影，進而瞭解這座城市。她在論文提出的研究方向，包括歷史化取向、鬼魅分析、情感研究、平凡日常的啟示等，對分析近年的香港電影文本仍然適用。假若她仍在人間，相信會就着近年的香港電影提出更加發人深省的論述。
Islamic Perspective of Gender Equity of Educational Opportunities
Authors: Fayokemi Adigun Wasilat , Olorunda Balogun Yisa 
Published: December 2024

In Nigerian contemporary society, many educators are of the wrong opinion that Islam frowns at gender equality in education and that the practice of Purdah makes it difficult for Muslim females to fully benefit from the educational system. This paper examines the problems associated with gender inequality in Nigeria and now aims at promoting a heightened awareness of the fact that Islam enjoins gender equity in education for both females and males. The paper made reverence to the views of scholars on how gender inequality was viewed in the Western world. It focuses on three areas namely the concept of gender equity, constraints of gender equity and gender inequality in Islam with a view of recommending the provision of more educational opportunities for females from primary to tertiary levels of education. Thus, the study sets out to ascertain the perception of gender equity of educational opportunities by Islamic Scholars and Non- Muslim educators.
Le coût environnemental d’une technologie de santé peut-il être trop élevé ? Le cas des dispositifs d’inhalation pour la maladie pulmonaire obstructive chronique
Authors: de Maack Valentina , Dupras Charles 
Published: December 2024

Cet article met en lumière les questions éthiques émergentes liées à la réduction du coût environnemental des médicaments, des technologies de santé et des services de santé, en prenant pour exemple la situation des dispositifs d’inhalation pour le soulagement de divers troubles respiratoires, c.-à-d. des « inhalateurs ». Les inhalateurs émettent des gaz à effet de serre contribuant au changement climatique. Des modifications réglementaires proposées récemment visent à contrôler l’utilisation des gaz à effet de serre, mais des exceptions sont nécessaires pour les inhalateurs en raison de l’absence de substituts moins polluants et de leur importance vitale pour certains patients. Des professionnels de la santé et des associations médicales militent activement pour une sensibilisation accrue et une meilleure éducation sur le sujet. Sur le plan politique, des appels sont lancés pour des lois incitant à une transition rapide vers des inhalateurs plus propres. Les solutions à terme incluent l’utilisation d’inhalateurs à faible émission de carbone, comme celles à poudre sèche, ainsi que des changements dans les pratiques de prescription et d’utilisation. Les acteurs s’accordent sur la nécessité de réduire l’impact environnemental tout en priorisant la santé des patients, mais des tensions éthiques peuvent survenir autour de possibles compromis, réels ou perçus, entre efficacité thérapeutique, risques et durabilité des inhalateurs. Notre étude de cas souligne l’importance d’intégrer les considérations environnementales dans les politiques de santé et les pratiques cliniques tout en reconnaissant les questions sensibles sur le plan éthique à cette intersection, les zones d’incertitude et autres défis à surmonter.
The Sound Masking Assessment of Recycled Partition
Authors: Soegiono Phylicia Deosephine , Elsiana Feny , Arifin Lilianny Sigit 
Published: December 2024

The increasing rate of urbanization leads to more unmanaged waste, currently at 33.08% of 18 million tons per year. This research uses recycled cans as architectural elements to address the acoustic comfort issues in coworking spaces. Some of these studies have also recommended the addition of sound masking elements such as natural sounds, music, and others to enhance workers' productivity. Furthermore, earlier research has experimented with processing waste plastic materials into acoustic elements based on sound absorption theory. The aim of this research is to conduct experiments by using recycled waste cans as an architectural element that can function as sound masking, providing an acoustically comfortable sound range that supports users' well-being. Results show that recycled partitions placed between workers produced a sound intensity level of 57.6 dBA, which is still 7.6 dBA above the comfort threshold.
Supervisor Localization
Authors: Cai Kai 
Published: November 2019

AbstractIn this article, we formulate a distributed control problem for multiagent discrete‐event systems, and introduce asupervisor localizationapproach to solving this problem. The approach defines acontrol coveron the state set of the supervisor, and constructs local controllers by merging the states residing in the same cells of the cover. The algorithm for supervisor localization is of polynomial complexity in the state size of the supervisor, and architectural and symbolic methods are explored to improve the algorithmic efficiency to tackle large‐scale multiagent systems. Further variations of the central concept of control cover are introduced, which expand the features of local controllers including time, partial observation, communication delay, and infinite behavior.
