Resumen Introducción: La vejez es una etapa caracterizada por diversos retos adaptativos, derivados de cambios graduales en la salud física y mental, así como de dificultades para realizar actividades de la vida diaria y participar socialmente. No obstante, existen adultos mayores que logran enfrentar satisfactoriamente estos desafíos y fortalecerse a partir de ellos. Objetivo: Identificar y analizar las características resilientes de adultos mayores asistentes a una casa de día en el municipio de Toluca, Estado de México. Metodología: Estudio cualitativo, de enfoque fenomenológico, descriptivo, analítico y transversal. La población estuvo conformada por adultos mayores que asisten a una casa de día, seleccionados mediante muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Se incluyeron siete mujeres mayores que cumplían con los criterios de selección. Resultados: Se identificaron diversos factores que influyen en la resiliencia de los adultos mayores, entre ellos: la autonomía (capacidad para tomar decisiones y actuar de forma independiente), la autoestima (imagen positiva de sí mismos a pesar del envejecimiento), la esperanza y la creencia en un futuro favorable, la conexión social (relaciones sólidas con familiares y amigos), y la espiritualidad (sentido de propósito y conexión con algo trascendente). Conclusiones: La resiliencia en adultos mayores requiere un enfoque metodológico mixto que permita una comprensión más profunda y detallada de sus características y niveles. Es fundamental desarrollar y unificar criterios teóricos y conceptuales sobre la resiliencia, adaptándolos a las distintas etapas del desarrollo.
The discussions around the benefits of implementing artificial intelligence or AI have been quite lively today. AI has been benefiting organizations with increased efficiencies, enhanced decision-making, cost reductions, and improved consumer experiences. Rather, it has been opening newer opportunities day by day. However, AI implementation across organizations has never been an easy job. The contribution of AI in strategic change management within organizations, however, is meeting several challenges. Employees within an organization resist technological adaptations due to the fear of losing their jobs. Some are under the threat that they are unfamiliar with the technology, and this could severely impact their growth in the organization. A few challenges are ethical and privacy concerns, integrating AI with the current organizational system, skill gaps, and understanding what its capabilities and limitations are. In this paper, the researchers discuss AI’s role in driving strategic change management. They are curious to understand how AI entered the organizational realm and is driving an impressive change in management culture. The researchers of this present study believe that this piece of work will serve as a basis for the upcoming researchers in understanding how AI is supporting ethical and sustainable organizational practices.
This paper explores the implementation of ternary (base-3) logic systems using global internet latency as a novel computational substrate. We present a theoretical framework, experimental methodology, and detailed results for a Ternary Internet Computer (TIC) that encodes computational states within the temporal behavior of networked IP addresses. Our findings demonstrate that this approach can reliably simulate basic logic operations and implement a simple perceptron capable of learning the XOR function. Through rigorous statistical analysis across multiple trials, we show that while network latency introduces variability, our redundancy mechanisms yield reproducible computational results. This work contributes to the growing field of unconventional computing by demonstrating how distributed network properties can be harnessed for non-binary computation.
This research paper presents a groundbreaking framework, Patterns and Superagency, which redefines the universe as a deterministic, hierarchically ordered system governed by a single invariant constant per dimension, ensuring stability and coherence across scales. Challenging the stochastic foundations of quantum mechanics, we begin with the paradox of macroscopic stability—why everyday reality remains predictable despite alleged randomness at subatomic levels. Through gravitational lensing, we demonstrate that light’s speed c reigns as the “father” of the third dimension, compelling time, space, and energy to adapt, as dictated by relativistic principles. This one-constant-per-dimension rule extends universally: position governs the second dimension, existence the first, with each constant enforcing order while subordinate “children” adjust to prevent contradictions. A vertical hierarchy mandates that constants occupy distinct layers, avoiding conflicts that would collapse the system, as formalized by the commutation relation 𝑇, 𝐶\_𝐷 = 0 . Randomness, often invoked to explain phenomena like photon fluctuations, is rejected as a misinterpretation of higher-dimensional projections, akin to a 4D torus appearing erratic in 3D. Culminating in the concept of superagency, we propose that consciousness, as an eternal constant, actively shapes reality by selecting from a pre-existing manifold of states, resolving the Hard Problem and reframing the brain as a reality-enacting agent. Written in dual styles—a narrative for broad accessibility and a rigorous scientific analysis—this framework not only unifies physics and philosophy but positions agency as the geometric and moral cornerstone of existence, where every choice carves the latticework of the future.
This paper proposes a new theoretical framework—Dimensional Invariance Theory—which redefines the structure of physical reality by assigning a single unchanging “father” constant to each dimension. Drawing from general relativity, quantum mechanics, algebraic topology, and higher-dimensional geometry, the theory posits that in any given dimension, only one element may remain invariant while all others must change to preserve its constancy. Beginning with light as the governing force of the third dimension, we derive time as its dependent “child,” and extend the logic into four dimensions using the tesseract geometry to define a new governing constant: agency. This superdimensional agency acts not through spontaneous creation or collapse but through traversal across a pre-encoded state-space, aligning with topological algebra where all possible outcomes must already exist for meaningful choice to be made. The theory critiques mainstream quantum interpretations of randomness and superposition, offering instead a deterministic structure governed by vertical hierarchies of invariance and horizontal constraints of dimensional exclusivity. Building on Kip Thorne’s depiction of the tesseract and relativistic time manipulation, we derive new geometric-metric formulations that introduce agency as a fourth-dimensional constant orthogonal to time. This work aims to unify the logical architecture of physical laws with the philosophical conditions required for causality, agency, and consciousness, laying groundwork for a new class of theoretical physics rooted in structure rather than uncertainty.

Art is often perceived as a personal expression, a cultural artifact, or an aesthetic pursuit—but it is also a deeply social phenomenon. From ancient cave paintings to contemporary digital installations, art both reflects and shapes the societies in which it is produced. In the realm of sociology, art serves as a lens through which we can examine broader social structures, power dynamics, and cultural values. This paper explores the role of art as a social institution and its impact on identity formation, collective memory, and social change.
Integrals play a fundamental role in various scientific and industrial applications. Their significance extends beyond theoretical mathematics to practical fields such as physics, chemistry, and engineering. One notable application is in volume determination, which is essential for industries designing product containers. This project explores the use of integrals to derive a general expression for the volume of a Pilsen bottle using the Lagrange method. The motivation for this study arose from a simple yet intriguing question: why are certain beverage bottles made of glass despite their fragility? To answer this, we investigate how integral calculus, particularly the disk method and proportionality properties, can be applied to model the bottle’s shape and compute its volume. By integrating mathematical techniques with real-world applications, this research demonstrates the practical utility of integrals in industrial design and production.
