La Aplicación de la Ley 348 en la Violencia Feminicida en Bolivia; Entre Luces y Sombras
Authors: Millares Luna Erik Jeant 
Published: December 2024

La presente investigación, refleja la situación actual en Bolivia respecto a la violencia contra la mujer en el contexto de la Ley 348, centra el foco en la prevención, como factor primordial, refleja la debilidad de la política pública de seguridad implementada el año 2013 por el gobierno nacional que, en el marco de la política criminal contra el delito de feminicidio tras una década de aplicación y ejecución, los resultados no son alentadores. De igual manera, el artículo identifica las instancias actoras pertinentes y las instituciones establecidas por la norma, sus roles, así como las competencias en las tareas de prevención de este delito. Por otra parte, se evidencia los principales antecedentes relativos a la violencia de género en Bolivia, comparando algunos resultados con países de la región como ser Brasil, México y la Argentina. En este contexto, después de describir las características y objetivo de la Ley, se muestra la propuesta de los sectores sociales y colectivos de mujeres involucrados, que tuvieron diferentes reflexiones sobre la Ley, pero que, se basaron sobre todo en los aspectos de ineficiencia de los operadores de la Ley y que se sigue vulnerando los derechos hacia las mujeres, enfatizando que, a 10 años de la promulgación de la normativa, los resultados de violencia cada vez son mayores. Asimismo, a partir del respectivo análisis se propone una política factible y viable para la obtención de resultados favorables que fortalezcan el sentimiento ciudadano de seguridad, basado en 10 puntos específicos que permitirían mejorara la aplicabilidad de la normativa y que la orientación sea forjar una política criminal de corte preventivo y no punitivo. Por tanto, un análisis focalizado de la normativa en cuestión, corroborado por el actuar institucional y los indicadores más importantes del delito de feminicidio establecen una modificación imperativa y una aplicación inmediata de acciones conducentes a incrementar la sinergia interinstitucional imprescindible, para alcanzar el objetivo propuesto por la Ley.

This article analyzes the impact of integration, mergers, and conglomeration on competition risk and economic stability using a literature review approach. The background of this research highlights the increasing prevalence of corporate mergers that may lead to unhealthy competition risks and economic instability. The study aims to identify the characteristics, impacts, and implications of integration, mergers, and conglomeration strategies within the context of market structure, corporate behavior, and performance. The research method employs a qualitative approach by collecting secondary data from journals, e-books, and relevant documents. Data analysis is conducted descriptively-qualitatively by examining the relationship between market structure, corporate behavior, and economic performance through the Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) analytical framework. Findings indicate that integration, mergers, and conglomeration have complex effects on business competition. The merging process can reduce the number of competitors, increase the dominance of large firms, and potentially create monopolistic practices. The SCP analysis reveals that changes in market structure through corporate consolidation significantly affect economic behavior and performance. The article emphasizes the need for effective regulation and oversight to minimize negative impacts, protect healthy competition, and maintain economic stability. The conclusion offers deep insights into the dynamics of business integration and its implications for market structure, behavior, and performance.

Published: December 2024

Carbon fibre composite overwrapped pressure vessels (type pressure vessels for short) are widely used in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The aluminum liner of type pressure vessels bearing the hydrogen pressure and fiber tension simultaneously requires factory inspections. It is difficult to detect the aluminum liner with different curvature by the phased array ultrasonic testing. An aluminum liner detection method was proposed based on the immersion phased array ultrasonic testing. The thickness of the aluminum liner was measured by avoiding overlapping reflected waves. Besides, the longitudinal defects were detected by the circumferential shear wave scanning, and transverse defects were detected by the bidirectional deflecting scanning. The above three modes were verified by the acoustic field simulation and inspection simulation using CIVA. Results show that the proposed detection method is highly reliable for the thickness measurement and defect detection of the aluminum liner.
Traditional Human Cultural Influences on Animals
Authors: Wu Kefei 
Published: December 2024

Many of the world's animals are being positively or negatively affected by human production and activities in various ways of behavior and lifestyle. This paper focuses on the exploration of the many aspects of the impact of traditional human culture on animals. The results of this paper show that animals are mostly negatively affected by human traditional culture. However, efforts are being made to save and take remedial measures, this is only because the historical legacy cannot be cured in a short period of time and people need to put more efforts to improve the various conservation measures. The purpose of this study is to hope that people can remedy their negative impacts on animals in nature and to make people understand how they can do so in time. By studying various cases and collecting data from different regions, this paper aims to reveal the specific ways in which traditional practices harm wildlife. Ultimately, the call is to create a balanced, symbiotic environment where traditional practices can coexist with modern conservation efforts.

Published: December 2024

Objective: Empirically explain the collation of orders related to Farmacêutic Assistance; on the one hand, the orders of the public policy of Assistência Farmacêutica; On the other hand, judicial orders for the provision of medications. Results: The studied municipality has 157,384 inhabitants. With 16 Basic Health Units and 6 pharmacists who serve SUS in 26 medication dispensing units (which is to analyze the prescription with the identification of the subject being treated, as this determines the paths taken in this process). Of these units, 6 are managed by a third-party company. In this scenario and considering the period of October, November and December 2011 we found the record of 177 items coming from judicial mandates and 132 items constant from the standardized list. The total number of tablets, dragees, capsules, ampoules or verified units is 3,627,445, of which 1,420,110 units are linked to standardized lists, 2,162,941 units to the Prefectural sub-stock and 44,394 to judicial mandates. However, when transformed into monetary acquisition values, the 44,394 units represent R$ 418,930.28 and the remaining 3,583,051 units, R$ 460,051.19. While each unit originating from two judicial processes is equivalent to R$ 9.44; The standardized values ​​are equivalent to the unit value of R$ 0.13. Virtually all requests are granted on a preliminary basis, or that imply the delivery of medication, without prior defense by the manager. Another result of this study is that the judicial mandates require the Municipalities to bear expenses that in large part should be borne by the States or by the Ministry of Health. Conclusions: It is proposed to reanalyze the dosages of some standardized medications with the possibility of including some judicially requested items. I suggest or study that prescribing doctors, advocates, promoters and judges deepen the study of legislation on the demands and responsibilities of each instance of government. The management opens actions of planning, execution, support and evaluation of results.

Authors: Alowais Abdelaziz Abdalla 
Published: December 2024

The proposed paper explores the quantifying techniques scholars use globally to measure Sustainability-oriented Innovations in the circular economy. This conceptual paper highlighted the techniques and proposed formulas to measure the impact of innovation on the Circular Economy. The methods used to collect data are desk study and archival research. This paper collects past literature to explore as many quantifying techniques as possible in circular methods. Subsequently, previous literature suggests a hypothesis that can be explored further in a quantitative research design, and it is developed to study the link between sustainability-oriented innovations and the Circular economy. Furthermore, the paper’s purpose is not constrained to identify the relations only. It proposes methods of calculations that could be utilized to present factual results that can be benchmarked. This paper is an exploratory study that explores deep in the literature to grasp quantifying techniques that scholars with superior practical implications standardize. The quantifying techniques are either found or interpreted from the literature through the units of measurement in formulas.

Published: December 2024

Aim of the Study: In this study, the trade-development impact of COVID-19 is examined for the period spanning 2020-2021 covering 24 months. Some economic variables were converted appropriately into monthly basis to give similar frequency of data.
Methodology: The theoretical framework us based on the system theory and thereafter the two-stage least regression technique applied was applied on the relationship between each of trade and per capita income and the COVID-19 related variables including total confirmed cases, total death retarded in one way or the other trade relation and per capita income growth. Total number of laboratory tests retarded both trade and per capita income level during the period. Sensitivity analysis shows contrary effects of export and import trade on per capita income.
Findings: Research findings show that COVID-19 related variables including total confirmed cases, total death retarded in one way or the other trade relation and per capita income growth. Total number of laboratory tests retarded both trade and per capita income level during the period. Besides, sensitivity analysis shows contrary effects of export and import trade on per capita income; a reason attributed to overdependence and low domestic production. In all the economic variables employed as explanatory, only exchange rate showed a significant positive impact on trade and per capita income level.
Conclusion: The study concluded that the economy should encourage huge domestic production to reduce over dependence during and beyond the COVID-19 era. This aside from increasing domestic consumption will encourage revenue inflow that can serve as bail out in the period of global scarcity of funds.

Authors: Ibrahim Ibrahim, O. , Adebayo Yusuf Mumeen , Ibrahim Abdulbario 
Published: December 2024

Aim of the Study: Ihale damsite was evaluated for the purpose of constructing a dam for water storage and irrigation of farmland in the area.
Methodology: The location of the proposed dam axis lies on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates 187872mE, 916118mN and 187634mE, 915603mN and to harness river Afun which is about 2.5km to Kabba-Bunu area. 10 trial/test pits for soil sampling and 2 deep borings into the basement rock were conducted on both sides of the river channel and DCP were conducted to the point of refusal. The number of blows per 10cm for the overburden soils ranges from 1 to 50 between depths of 0 – 2.0meters. DCP test involved driving a solid cone of 600 into the ground, using repeated blows of a hammer with a fixed mass of 10Kg falling through a distance of 550mm having maximum diameter of 20mm.
Findings & Conclusion: Findings revealed Clayey top soil, laterite, weathered basement and fresh basement rocks were the main geologic material obtained from the area with 4 geo-electric layers recorded. Resistivity values along the dam axis ranges from 29.1 to 2857.6 Ωm which is the third layer of VES 1 and 7. This layer was inferred to be weathered basement rock. In essence; placing the dam structure on the fourth layer of fresh basement rock will be more desirable to minimize seepages and enhance the foundational footing of the structure. Geotechnical analysis revealed bulk density varied from 1320 to 2830 kg/m2. Specific Gravity ranges from 2.56 to 2.76 Ga. Natural moisture content Nmc varied between 1.73 and 24.49 % with optimum dry density and dry density desirable for the support of dam construction in the area. Unit Cone Resistance (KN/m2) that varies from 95 to 520 KN/m2 across the depths is desirable to support the dam area structure. Average DCP Bearing Capacity increased from 120 to 500 as depth of investigation increased from 0.5 to 2.0 m. The integrated approach has revealed the Ihale damsite is good for dam construction.
Ethics of EndSARS Protest Philosophy for Social Change in Nigeria
Authors: ISANBOR Philip Osarobu 
Published: December 2024

Aim and Objective: This paper is directed towards the examination of the ethics of national consciousness for the realization of Sustainable National Development (SND) through the visitation of EndSARS Protest Philosophy (EPP). Hence, the objective of the study is on the needs to revisit the courses of social change as basis of EPP, and this will necessarily lead the Nigerian youths in achieving the courses of SND especially towards the values of committed and constant positive change of attitudes.
Methodology: being non-empirical research, the paper employed the expository, speculative and phenomenological methods of analysis. With the available research materials consulted, how the paper expositorily assessed the effects of the police brutality and criminality as the major cause of the EndSARS protest, how it speculatively projected the resultant solutions to the causes of EndSARS protest, and how the protest phenomenologically engineered the collective identifications of some philosophies of SND.
Findings: The paper recognised and observed that the causes of EndSARS, which were greatly traceable to the misguided and criminal activities of SARS, as governmental misplacement of values and interests for SND. Hence, it projected the adoptions of EPP as ethics of national reformation for SND. The objective observation is also made that the pronounced disbandment of SARS has not effective affected any positive and drastic change in the attitudes and operations of NPF, which was the major cause of the protest.
Conclusion: The paper concluded that the tactical and resourceful needs to revisit and adopt the contents of EPP as a basis of national characters reformation in achieving SND, becomes very economically inevitable and politically indispensable, following the trending nature of national consciousness which are away from the national values and identities that we are known for as a people.
Evaluating the Sociological Role of Arts and Culture in Peace Education, Social Transformation and Justice in Nigeria
Authors: Familugba Jonathan Oluropo , Rotimi Odudele 
Published: December 2024

Aim of the Study: From time immemorial, works of arts have been a major tool for enhancing peace education, social transformation and justice across the world. There are diverse works of arts in different ethnic groups and tribes with different sociological composition down to the contemporary human society. Arts, in this regard are classified into various aspects such as visual arts, creative arts, performing arts and so on. This study examined how these works of art influence and facilitate peace education, social transformation and justice in modern society, in line with these aspects of the arts. The paper focused attention on the interconnection and relationship between artistic works, culture, peace education, social transformation and justice; the study investigates also the impacts of works of arts on peace education and social transformation.
Methodology: Qualitative and quantitative methods, including the use of interviews as well as an organised questionnaire were used to carry out this study. Data have been collected from first and second sources in this study. In order to obtain information from key informants, the interview was tailored, such as the royal fathers who are custodian of Arts and Culture in African Societies, peace advocates, public affairs analysts, and educationists. Secondary information was derived from textbooks, journals, newspapers and internet sources. This work adopted “Structural-Functionalist Theory”.
Findings: The study revealed that if adequate and functional use is made of the works of arts and culture, it will go a long way at alleviating the various ills in the society and guarantee a lasting and enduring peace in the global space.
Conclusion: In so far as arts and culture constitutes essential elements of developing countries such as Nigeria, that opinion provides a religious defense to claims made by some Christians and society against the arts. The artist should be advised to live a disciplined and civilized life. Do not think, live like a greedy person because art work is a divine calling and a religious obligation.

Authors: Siad Kadar Abdullahi 
Published: December 2024

Aim of the Study: This study aims to evaluate the factors associated with under-five malnutrition in the Hodan district of Mogadishu, Somalia.
Methodology: Quantitative methods and a study carried out in Mogadishu, Somalia's Hodan district were utilized to gather data. Data collection was done through a questionnaire. The study population comprised of mothers and Health workers. The participants of the study were 60 health workers and40 mothers.
Finding: The result of the study shows that the malnutrition is common in children under five years old in Hodan district, Mogadishu Somalia. So the study revealed that 95% were agree and strongly agree that malnutrition is common among the children under five years old and lead to poor physical work capacity and consequently impairs human performance on learning abilities, as well as Diseases, early weaning and food taboos are underlying causes of malnutrition on children under five years old, so that the study illustrated almost about 48.75% respondents were strongly agree and 39% respondents stated agreed that the Diseases, early weaning and food taboos are underlying causes of malnutrition so that early weaning and poor breastfeeding can lead under nutrition while best breast feeding prevent infections and malnutrition.
Conclusion: The study discovered that malnutrition was common among children under the age of five in the Hodan district. Malnutrition is caused by a variety of factors that surround children under the age of five, including poor dietary intake, early weaning, socioeconomic and cultural behavior, poor breast feeding practice, a lack of nutritional education for parents, and maternal-related factors, which have direct and indirect effects on the health and nutritional status of under-five children.
Social network dynamics of tobacco smoking and alcohol use among persons involved with the criminal legal system (PCLS): A modeling study
Authors: Khanna Aditya , Rousell Noah , Davis Tori , Zhang Yurui , Sheeler Daniel , Cioe Patricia , Martin Rosemarie , Kahler Christopher 
Published: December 2024

Background: Tobacco smoking and alcohol use contribute to a synergy of epidemics (a “syndemic”) that disproportionately affects persons involved with the criminal legal system (PCLS) and their social networks. An improved understanding of the complex interrelationships among the factors of the incarceration-tobacco-alcohol syndemic is essential to develop effective reform policies and interventions. However, collecting empirical data on these interrelationships is often hampered due to logistical and ethical challenges.
Methods: We developed an agent-based network model (ABNM) to simulate the effects of the incarceration-tobacco-alcohol syndemic in the state of Rhode Island, USA. The model was validated and calibrated using empirical survey and demographic data. Outcomes included current smoking and heavy alcohol use rates in the first year after release among previously incarcerated agents and in their social networks.
Results: The model successfully replicated demographic, substance use, and incarceration-related parameters. Simulation results suggest high rates of smoking (approximately 80% currently smoking persons in the first few weeks after release) and heavy alcohol use (approximately 40% current heavy alcohol use rate in the first few weeks after release) among PCLS, especially persons with multiple incarceration events. The model also estimated elevated rates of current smoking and current heavy alcohol use in the direct social contacts of PCLS.
Discussion: This ABNM integrates biobehavioral health processes relating to incarceration and substance use. This model can be used as a platform to evaluate the potential impacts of interventions provided to PCLS and their networks
