O uso das tecnologias da informação e comunicação como integrante dos processos educacionais na educação profissional e tecnológica
Authors: Cruz Adilson Oliveira , Wolkartt Tássia
Published: August 2023

Este estudo apresenta as considerações sobre os processos educacionais que foram potencializados pelo uso das tecnologias educacionais através da perspectiva de uma ferramenta acadêmica. Com isso, o objetivo central do estudo foi evidenciar as contribuições da utilização das tecnologias de comunicação e informação (TIC’s) como potencializadoras do desenvolvimento para a educação profissional e tecnológica nos ambientes escolares. Assim sendo, esse estudo leva em consideração que a educação brasileira não possui o suporte necessário para incorporar tal mecanismo em sua totalidade, de modo que o foco está voltado às possibilidades de transformar o âmbito educacional em um espaço que contribui positivamente, seja para a escola seja para a comunidade. De tal maneira, essa pesquisa teve como estratégia metodológica a revisão de literatura em caráter qualitativo, utilizando como material as revistas científicas nacionais que abordaram os temas centrais de análise: Educação, Tecnologia e Educação Profissional.
Accounting and corporate governance: Academic evolution in ten years of contribution
Authors: Oliveira Oderlene Vieira de , Sousa Mirella Tomaz Sales , Bugarim Maria Clara Cavalcante , Grigolon Daniel
Published: August 2023

When corporate governance is seen as a system, it can be seen that in all its intrinsic principles, accounting is present, from the application of compliance and ethics techniques in management, contemplating the transparency of results, the critical analysis of investment and business risks, going through the treatment with equity of all people involved in the management process, to responsible accountability. And given this relevance of accounting for corporate governance, it was defined as a general objective to present the evolution of academic production regarding accounting and corporate governance in the period of ten years and its contribution. In this sense, a bibliometric study was used regarding the academic production on the subject in the period from 2012 to 2021 in the Web of Science database, aiming to highlight the progress of scientific productions over time, the authors with the largest number of publications, the journals with the highest number of publications, the research areas with the largest number of publications on the subject and also, the most cited works. The results showed that, although the total number of published articles is relatively low, there is a growing number of publications, which signals that future research in this field is full of challenges and opportunities.
Decommissioning strategies for fixed offshore platforms in Brazil
Authors: Pinheiro Marcio Soares , Monteiro Paulo Roberto Duailibe
Published: August 2023

In the early 1970s, consumption of petroleum products in Brazil doubled. With that, was great the need the discoveries of new wells. The possibilities for expanding production were at sea, which began to receive even more attention. After the discovery of the first offshore field, in Sergipe, Petrobras made more than 20 discoveries on the coast of several states. It was the beginning of a new era. In 1977, the Campos Basin, located between the states of Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro, began its commercial offshore production, becoming the most important oil province in Brazil until the discovery of the Pre-Salt province, in the Santos Basin. As these fields are producing for a long time, many of them are already completely depleted or their production is in way of to be not commercial anymore, and their facilities need to be decommissioned. This review of decommissioning practices of fixed offshore platforms carried out worldwide has focus on the removal of topside with special vessels designed for this purpose or with conventional methods (crane vessels + barge). It will show the benefits of using specialised heavy lift vessels to remove the topsides and move it to shore for dismantling / recycling / reuse / disposal. The cases for study were the successful decommissioning projects in the North Sea: Brent B/D, Valhall QP, Viking, Curlew, Eider A, Golden Eye and Leman, Iwaki-Oki, Halfweg Q1, Yme and Ninian North.
Relationships Between Thai Language Proficiency and Livelihoods of Myanmar Urban Migrant Workers
Authors: Min Aung Ko , Anantsuksomsri Sutee , Tontisirin Nij
Published: August 2023

For decades, Thailand has been the recipient of foreign migrant workers from neighbouring countries, with the majority of these workers being from Myanmar. Myanmar migrant workers are employed in various job sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing factories, and service sectors. They usually earn an adequate wage, which provides a living that is not possible in their home country. However, their income and working conditions largely depend on several factors, including host language fluency. This paper is one of the first papers about migrants and Thai language fluency using Thailand as a case study. In this research study, open-ended questions were used to conduct semi-structured interviews with Myanmar urban migrant workers from different work sectors as well as a representative from a language academy in Bangkok. The results of this study show that Thai language proficiency affects the income of the Myanmar migrants as well as their career opportunities. The policy implications suggested by this paper include implementation of Thai language training for urban migrants by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and its non-formal education department.
Post-Construction Analysis of Scale and Proportion: A Case Study of the Woodbury Towers, USA, in Reflecting Cogent Design Principles
Authors: Luangsuwan Worasak
Published: August 2023

Critically assessing your own design work after it has been constructed for several years is an exciting question of self-peer review that has to set aside the initial design amplitude while letting the theories perform in order to discover some unexpected results with respect to the original design. This paradoxical mechanism between practicing and teaching when career switching from a professional practitioner to a university instructor can harmoniously integrate theory and praxis to illuminate future paths and amplify innovation. Here, I use the Woodbury Towers in the Woodbury Irvine Community as a case study to explore planning design practice in context of the Southern California landscape as the subject of the self-peer review process. Creating community is building a place for people to live and share their experience. Community basically refers to sets of people who may identify themselves with a place in terms of notions of commonality, shared values or solidarity in particular contexts. Landscape architecture can contribute to a sense of community by contributing theories, experiences and design vision in the development process. In this paper, the synchronization of design scale and proportion considered essential, has been explored to reflect theoretical functions and aesthetic characteristics of good design since the Classical Era. The principle of The Golden Section ratio simulated with a digital superimposition technique is the main tool for this research method which led to discovery of the subconscious ideas in the post-construction phase.

La presente investigación, es un esbozo somero, abordado desde el diseño etnográfico y la investigación cualitativa durante las fiestas religiosas de la Semana Santa. El objetivo fue comprender el simbolismo cultural y religioso, e indagar el motivo del uso de ciertos elementos culturales en la construcción de las andas religiosas, desde la percepción y visión del artesano. Se empleó la metodología de la investigación cualitativa y el diseño etnográfico, lo que permitió describir, comprender y analizar testimonios e información detallada y minuciosa. Para llevar a cabo el estudio, se utilizó los instrumentos como la observación directa (una guía específica, donde se enfocó en la elaboración y preparación de los adornos, el montaje y las procesiones del anda) y las entrevistas semiestructuradas; estas acciones se llevaron a cabo tanto en el taller del artesano como en el lugar donde se armaba el trono. Se arribó a los siguientes hallazgos: La Semana Santa en Ayacucho representa un legado histórico vivo, donde los elementos culturales y religiosos utilizados logran expresar y comunicar la identidad cultural, tradición e historia regional de esta localidad. Durante esta exhibición, se evidencia un ambiente de fervor y devoción religiosa por parte de los devotos, quienes desempeñan un papel fundamental en este contexto religioso.
Design of two-port SRAM cell with improved write operation
Authors: Ming-Hsueh Wu  , Chien-Cheng Yu  , Ming-Chuen Shiau
Published: August 2023

In this paper, a novel seven-transistor (7T) two-port SRAM cell incorporating an assist circuit is proposed. Wherein, the assist circuit is used to deal with the memory cell failures. During a write operation, this circuit is activated to connect a diode-connected transistor to the source of the drive transistor located near the write bit line. Accordingly, it can provide an efficient solution to the writing ‘1’ issue to improve write operations in this manner. Simulation results for the proposed cell design confirm that there is a conspicuous improvement over the conventional two-port SRAM cells and fast writing also can be achieved.
Silence as a Tool for Managing Conflict in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus
Authors: Ojumah Sylvanus Uwamaka
Published: August 2023

This paper explores the significance of silence in a conflict-charged situation as represented in Chimamanda Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus. It emanates from a hiatus perceived from existing scholarship on a specific function of silence in the novel. While a few critical assessments of the role of silence in Purple Hibiscus exist, none examines that form of human behaviour from the point of view of conflict management. This study, therefore, aims at demonstrating that conflict, which is an intrinsic part of human experience manifesting in multiple ways among individuals, groups and societies, represents a genuine and potent tool for conflict management. Using a descriptive and analytical approach with insight from Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber’s relevance theory of silence and Richard L. Johannesen’s “typical potential meanings” of silence, this paper stresses that silence is a language, one of the ways humans respond to conflict. And how this is portrayed in terms of a refusal to react could improve, deteriorate or keep a conflict situation tensed or calm. The silence that this paper explores is the one which emanates from a woman, particularly Beatrice, the wife of Eugene. The paper argues that though silence in a marital situation may be associated with submissiveness, passivity, docility and powerlessness, Adichie deploys it as a feminine strategy for conflict management. This resonates with the idea of women stooping to conquer within the marital space, especially that characterized by male abuse.
Language, Literature and Conflict Management
Authors: Afejuku Tony
Published: August 2023

This paper presents reflections on Language, Literature and Conflict Management to point out the difference between the creative literary mind and the uncreative literal mind, which is that one is prodigiously complex and rich, and accommodates paradoxes and ambiguities, while the other, in the sublime words of Chinua Achebe, is “the one-track mind, the simplistic mind, the mind that cannot comprehend [that] where one thing stands, another will stand beside it” (5). In other words, the “one-track mind” sees things, interprets things and phenomena from a narrow prism, without giving sufficient thought to all the nuances involved in the acts (and art) of interrogation. By implication, I hope to determine the boundaries or “limits of what is knowledge in thought,” to borrow the words of Noam Chomsky, as paraphrased by Mitsou Ronat, who interviewed Chomsky primarily on matters of “philosophy of language” reflected in Chomsky’s highly stimulating book, Reflections on Language (117).

Identification and functional prediction of long non-coding RNAs related to oxidative stress in the jejunum of piglets
Authors: Li Jinbao , Zhang Jianmin , Jin Xinlin , Li Shiyin , Du Yingbin , Zeng Yongqing , Wang Jin , Chen Wei
Published: August 2023

Objective: Oxidative stress (OS) is a pathological process arising from the excessive production of free radicals in the body. It has the potential to alter animal gene expression and cause damage to the jejunum. However, there have been few reports of changes in the expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the jejunum in piglets under OS. The purpose of this research was to examine how lncRNAs in piglet jejunum change under OS.Methods: The abdominal cavities of piglets were injected with diquat (DQ) to produce OS. Raw reads were downloaded from the SRA database. RNA-seq was utilized to study the expression of lncRNAs in piglets under OS. Additionally, six randomly selected lncRNAs were verified using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‒PCR) to examine the mechanism of oxidative damage.Results: A total of 79 lncRNAs were differentially expressed (DE) in the treatment group compared to the negative control group. The target genes of DE lncRNAs were enriched in gene ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) signaling pathways. Chemical carcinogenesis-reactive oxygen species, the Foxo signaling pathway, colorectal cancer, and the AMPK signaling pathway were all linked to OS.Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that DQ-induced OS causes differential expression of lncRNAs, laying the groundwork for future research into the processes involved in the jejunum’s response to OS.

None of the eight Old Armenian diphthongs (comp. եա, էա, էի, էո, իա,
իե, իէ, իո) is a direct representative of the common Indo-European diphthongal
system. Though the comparative Indo-European Studies restores the diphthong
Վէմ համահայկական հանդես, ԺԵ (ԻԱ) տարի, թիվ 2 (82), ապրիլ-հունիս, 2023
in the IE base language, the Armenian էի (Ɲi) does not reflect either this or any
other IE diphthong. As a matter of fact, it comes to represent the IE pattern of the
verb stem *-oi (> է) +*-i (-ի) ending. The other diphthongs also display a varied
origin. Two of them - էա (Ɲa) and իե (ie)- are the results of word forming
processes observed within the Armenian language, though certain Greek
borrowings also contain examples with this phonemic sequence. Etymologically,
եա (ea) and իա (ia) diphthongs are not homogenous, either.

Published: August 2023

Los últimos treinta años fueron definitivos para que se cuestionara el concepto clásico de seguridad. En los 1990, teóricos en Copenhague, Aberystwyth y París trataron de ampliar el entendimiento sobre qué significa una amenaza, también sobre cómo se da el proceso de delimitación y definición de lo que se debe proteger en la política internacional —la securitización. En este artículo, con base en la historia de los conceptos, investigamos la genealogía de los dos conceptos comunes y centrales a las escuelas europeas de los estudios de seguridad, comparando y señalando sus similitudes y contrastes.
Segurança do Golfo Pérsico em uma Nova Era de Competição Geopolítica Global
Authors: Alfaifi Tawfiq , Vinha Luis da
Published: August 2023

Ao longo das décadas, a segurança no Oriente Médio tem sido influenciada tanto por fortes interdependências de segurança regionais e globais. Desde o fim da Guerra Fria, os Estados Unidos têm desempenhado um papel importante na determinação da segurança da região, com os Estados do Conselho de Cooperação do Golfo se tornando cada vez mais dependentes das garantias de segurança americanas. No entanto, o pivô estratégico dos EUA para a região Ásia-Pacífico e a crescente consolidação da China como uma potência global, fez com que a dinâmica de segurança do Oriente Médio voltasse a fluir. Este artigo emprega o conceito de complexo regional de segurança, aliado a uma lente teórica realista, para analisar como a crescente rivalidade sino-americana afeta a segurança do Golfo Pérsico ao identificar os interesses dessas duas potências no Oriente Médio e a dinâmica regional emergente.

Published: August 2023

Educational feedback is essential to help students learn from their mistakes and self-regulate their learning strategies. However, work overload and lack of time are barriers for educators to give quality and timely feedback, particularly for written assessments. Software tools to support feedback processes typically focus on automatic messages, lacking personalization. We present Tutoria, a software tool that uses artificial intelligence techniques to correct assessments more efficiently while also ensuring that good practices of educational feedback are followed. Tutoria was developed through a user-centered design process, including interviews and prototype validation with undergraduate students and instructors from higher education institutions in different fields of knowledge. Results indicate that the software presents good usability and relevance for educators. We expect that Tutoria can help educators construct personalized written feedback efficiently, allowing them to give quality feedback to large groups within realistic time frames.
Doppel- und mehrgleisige Berufsverläufe als Erwerbsbiografien der Zukunft?
Authors: Olos Luiza
Published: August 2023

Doppel- und mehrgleisige Berufsverläufe mit einer Parallelität von Erwerbstätigkeiten kommen im Laufe des Wandels der Arbeitsgesellschaft immer häufiger vor und einige Autoren sehen darin sogar „die“ Erwerbsbiografien der Zukunft. Berufsbiografische Daten aus dem Projekt „PROFIL“ an der Freien Universität Berlin zeigen, dass in der Psychologie solche sog. Portfolio-Karrieren am häufigsten vorkommen und als charakteristisch für die Profession Psychologie gelten können. Am Beispiel der Profession Psychologie und anhand der „PROFIL“-Daten werden theoretische und empirische Analysen zur Mehrfachbeschäftigung und zur Doppel- und Mehrgleisigkeit von Erwerbstätigkeiten durchgeführt. Mit dieser im Rahmen ihrer Dissertation entstandenen Arbeit fasst die Autorin zum ersten Mal interdisziplinär den Stand der Forschung zusammen und beleuchtet die Bedeutung dieses Phänomens für die Psychologie und deren Professionsangehörige. In Form eines interaktionistischen Modells wird das Zusammenspiel der wichtigsten Einflussfaktoren der mehrgleisigen beruflichen Entwicklung von der gesellschaftlichen über die professionsspezifischen bis zur individuellen Ebene untersucht. Die Entstehung solcher Berufsverläufe wird durch den Strukturwandel der Arbeit sowie durch Professionsmerkmale begünstigt, aber z. T. auch durch den Arbeitsmarkt und individuelle finanzielle Bedürfnisse erzwungen. Interviews bei einer Teilstichprobe haben ergeben, dass PsychologInnen diese Doppel- bzw. Mehrgleisigkeit in der Regel selbst wählen und positiv bewerten; denn sie entspricht ihrem Streben nach Selbstverwirklichung, inhaltlicher Breite, Autonomie, zeitlicher Flexibilität sowie Work-Life-Balance. Nur wenige Personen müssen aus finanziellen Gründen mehrere geringfügige „Jobs“ ausüben und fühlen sich durch Vereinbarkeitskonflikte belastet. Es lassen sich unterschiedliche Formen von Portfolio-Karrieren und unterschiedliche Typen von mehrgleisig Tätigen unterscheiden. Auch aus der Sicht der Profession kann die berufliche Doppel- und Mehrgleisigkeit überwiegend positiv bewertet werden: PsychologInnen mit solchen Berufsverläufen tragen zum Zusammenhalt der Profession bei, indem sie der Überspezialisierung und der Beziehungslosigkeit zwischen den Teildisziplinen entgegenwirken.

Polyaniline Nanostructures: Techniques in Structure-Tailored Polymerisation-Superstructures
Authors: J. Daka Jimmy , Mukupa George
Published: August 2023

Polyaniline (PANI) is one of the widely studied conducting polymers. As such it is one of the widely applied conducting polymers for laboratory bench work applications. The limitation to application in commercial work has been hampered by the inherent difficulty of a polymer being processed once synthesised. The solution to this lies in synthesising the PANI that has uniform structures ready for application in that form or creating a composite with other molecules that bring about the level of processability to acceptable processible levels. This paper seeks to outline the general synthetic underlying principles behind the synthesis of PANI that may bear the structural nature for ready-to-apply or processible to some extent for possible application. The paper outlines the general synthetic concept framework for one to manipulate for suited use.

Published: August 2023

Millet has been cultivated in Mongolia since ancient times, and some historians believe that this cultivation may be the first crop of nomadic people. Academician P.M. Zhukovsky noted that multiline varieties of millet were found in the mountainous regions of Central Asia and Mongolia. Therefore, one of the regions of millet is Mongolia. There are records that Mongolians cultivated small rice in the 8th–12th centuries and called it Mongolian grain, cron, black rice, and millet, used it for food, and sold it to traders in China and other countries. The research study was conducted in the research area of the Research Institute of Plant and Agriculture in the area of Khongor Sum, Darkhan-Uul Province, Mongolia, in 2017–2020. The millet variety of Saratovskaya-853 was planted for seeds on May 20, 30, and June 10 at the rate of 3 million seed/ha and with 3 repetitions each. According to our research, the 20th of May is the most profitable time for planting, with a yield of 23.7 tons/ha. During this period, the number of weeds in the field was not much, the amount of protein contained in the seeds is 0.9–1.6% more than other versions, the seeds were mature, they are not affected by cold shocks and frosts, and they form a good seed casting protection against the cold. Spacing between 0.5 m and 15 cm between plants/total 9 stages. According to our research, the 20th of May is the most profitable time for sowing, with a yield of 23.7 cents/ha. During this period, the number of weeds in the field is low, the amount of protein in the seeds is 0.9–1.6% higher than other options, the seed yield is good, and the conditions are not affected by cold shock. The conditions for an increase in the yield of the version of May 20 have been established.

Enteral Beslenmede Musluk Suyu Kullanımı Doğru mu?: Literatür Derlemesi
Authors: CAFER KARALAR Berna , BOZKURT Canan , TÜREYEN Aynur
Published: August 2023

İnsan vücudunun sağlıklı bir şekilde çalışabilmesi için sıvı ve elektrolit dengesi önemlidir. Bu denge birçok hastalık, tedavi yöntemi ya da çevresel faktörlere bağlı olarak bozulabilmektedir. Enteral beslenme yöntemi de sıvı ve elektrolit dengesinin bozulabilmesine neden olan risk faktörlerinden biridir. Enteral beslenme yönteminde musluk suyu, şişe suyu ve filtrelenmiş su gibi farklı sular mevcuttur. Musluk suyu, düşük maliyeti ve kolay erişilebilirliği nedeniyle yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Literatürde enteral beslenmede musluk suyunun kullanımı hakkında kanıt eksiklikleri bulunmaktadır. Bu amaçla, enteral beslemede musluk suyunun kullanımı ile ilgili literatür derlemesi yapılmıştır. Bu derlemenin sonucunda, musluk suyunun enteral beslenmede ilaç uygulamaları ve sıvı desteğinde sıklıkla uygulandığı belirlenmiştir. Ancak, musluk sularının içeriğindeki bakteri, virüs, kimyasal ve diğer kirleticilerin kalitesi, kullanıldığı bölgeye ve ülkeye göre değişebilir. Bu nedenle, bazı durumlarda kontrol edilen ve onaylanmış musluk sularının kullanılması önerilmektedir. Özel gereksinimli hastaların tedavisi sırasında ise steril su kullanımı önerilmektedir. Düşük sodyum diyetinde musluk suyunun kullanımı uygun olabilir. Ancak, musluk suyunun etkinliği hakkında daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç vardır. Ayrıca, musluk suyunun kullanımıyla ilgili potansiyel riskler de göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Ayrıca, enteral beslenme ve sıvı kullanımına özgü güncel kılavuzların olmadığı da görülmüştür. Bu doğrultuda, enteral beslenmeye yönelik kılavuzların oluşturulması, sağlık profesyonellerine doğru enteral beslenme ve su kullanımına yönelik eğitimler planlanması, kanıt eksikliğinin giderilmesi için doğru su seçimi için çalışmaların planlanması önerilmektedir.
Organización de contenidos en plataformas virtuales para modelos de competencias, modalidad B-Learning

Published: August 2023

En este documento se presenta una propuesta metodológica para la organización de contenidos de acciones formativas en la modalidad b-learning, bajo el enfoque del modelo por competencias. La acelerada expansión del uso de plataformas virtuales dentro las instituciones han llevado a que se generen acciones que no están relacionadas con la formación del estudiante ni con la pedagogía adecuada. Es por ello, que se realiza dicha propuesta para la organización de contenidos digitales dentro de las plataformas que garanticen la interactividad con el estudiante y que  proporcione al alumno beneficios  académicos. Uno de estos beneficios se relaciona con el logro de sus objetivos de aprendizaje respecto al tiempo para cumplimentarlos, pues les permite trabajar de forma asincrónica. La implementación de esta metodología se ha llevado a cabo a lo largo de cinco años, proporcionando evidencia empírica del resultado satisfactorio respecto a la organización de los contenidos.
Making Philosophy Personal
Authors: Mills Andrew P. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: August 2023

Reflective journals are characterized by their expressive freedom and their intent that students explicitly connect course material to their own life experiences, emotions, beliefs, and feelings. Drawing on research on the use of reflective journals and on the reflections of students in my philosophy courses, I demonstrate how philosophy professors can use reflective journals as a tool to help their students achieve important learning outcomes. By making philosophy personal for students, reflective journals allow students to practice philosophy as a way of life, achieve important metacognitive outcomes, and (drawing on constructivism in learning theory) increase their knowledge and understanding of course content.
The Duel between Effective Altruism and Greed
Authors: Englehardt Elaine E. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: August 2023

In this 2022 SEAC Presidential address, I explore the intricate interplay between the notions of greed and Effective Altruism (EA). These notions bear profound implications for both our individual obligations and our collective duties. The dialectic between greed and EA reveals a fundamental conflict. Greed is commonly aligned with the self-centered pursuit of riches, authority, or distinction, often neglecting the well-being of others and the enduring repercussions of one's actions. In contrast, EA stands as a philosophy and societal movement advocating the application of reason and empirical evidence to pinpoint the most efficacious avenues for aiding others and engendering a constructive global influence. Central to EA is the tenet of impartiality and equitable regard for all interests when selecting beneficiaries, resonating across domains such as the prioritization of scientific exploration, entrepreneurial endeavors, and policy undertakings geared towards alleviating suffering and preserving lives.

An analysis regarding train derailments caused by cracked wheelsets
Authors: Ghita Eugen
Published: August 2023

The wheelset is a critical component of a bogie's rolling equipment, and safety requirements necessitate both static and fatigue analysis of wheelset axles. This paper proposes a comparative analysis of derailments and accidents caused by cracked wheelsets, a topic that is extensively debated among wheelset manufacturers and railway administrations. The central issue under discussion is whether the cause of wheelset axle cracking is attributed to failure in complying with wagon or locomotive loading requirements, leading to increased static stress, or to material fatigue. The answer to this debate may be found through technical expertise that involves analyzing the cross-section of the cracking, stress levels, and the impact of dynamic conditions.
