Las tesis doctorales: historia, política y legislación universitaria
Authors: Álvarez Jiménez Victoria E. , Sanchidrián Blanco Carmen
Published: September 2024

Este artículo pretende realizar una panorámica histórica y legislativa de las tesis doctorales en España como elemento fundamental para entender el desarrollo de la educación universitaria y los cambios que ha ido viviendo. Para ello se analiza su evolución desde el contexto histórico y político educativo. Tras una introducción, el texto se divide en dos partes principales. La primera abarca desde los orígenes de las tesis doctorales y las primera legislaciones hasta la Guerra Civil. La segunda parte aborda los cambios en el doctorado y las tesis doctorales desde la legislación y las políticas educativa después de la Guerra Civil hasta la actualidad. Como conclusión, se puede ver cómo ser doctor o doctora ha ido modificando su sentido desde un título más elitista y vinculado a cuestiones de estatus y liturgia a una concepción moderna, académica y científica, con la tesis doctoral como referente, donde la formación investigadora y las aportaciones al incremento del campo de conocimiento disciplinar y a la sociedad han sido una constante, pudiendo constatarse además a través de este análisis los paralelismos entre la propia evolución de la institución universitaria y la de las tesis doctorales.
Punto de encuentro
Authors: González-Calvo Gustavo
Published: September 2024

Esta pequeña historia trata de dar voz a aquellos que normalmente no la tienen. A través de la reflexión que surge de una noche en vela, se revelan el sufrimiento, la impotencia y la desolación ante la tragedia que asola a Palestina, como asola a tantas otras partes del mundo. Las palabras describen el horror de vidas arrebatadas, de sueños truncados, de historias rotas, de nombres convertidos en números. Y, entre tanta desolación, las palabras hacen un llamado a la empatía, a la humanidad que hemos perdido en medio de un mar de indiferencia.
John Henry Newman como pensador pragmático y romántico
Authors: Gutiérrez Lozano Carlos
Published: September 2024

El artículo investiga dos influencias poco conocidas con relación al pensamiento filosófico de John Henry Newman. Por un lado, Newman anticipa varias intuiciones del pragmatismo, sobre todo en la versión peirciana del mismo. Por el otro, Newman puede ser considerado, en algunos aspectos, como un pensador romántico, sobre todo por su relación con Coleridge y Wordsworth. Ambas influencias ayudan a entender la comprensión newmaniana de la filosofía como forma de vida y de la verdad como actividad humana comprometida e histórica.
The Thermal State of the Earth
Authors: Jeffreys Harold
Published: September 2024

The available data related to the internal heat of the earth are reviewed. From these considerations it is concluded that: (1) The average radioactivities of surface rocks show a steady decrease with increase of density, though there is much scatter within a given type. (2) Heat generated at depths up to 300 km. or so has had sufficient time to approach a state where it is conducted out as rapidly as it is produced. (3) Nothing in the new results encourages the hope that fusion temperatures are a normal feature at any depth within the crust. (4) The thermal contraction available for mountain formation remains essentially unchanged except that a more uniform rate is suggested.
Thermodynamic Calculations on Phase Equilibria Involving Fused Salts; Part 2, Solid Solutions and Application to the Olivines
Authors: Bradley R. S.
Published: September 2024

A theory is developed for ideal solutions of ionic salts giving Roozeboom Type I phase diagrams, based on the assumption that the mole fraction of an ion in a phase is equal to the number of specified ions present divided by the total number of ions of all species in the phase. When applied to solid solutions of fayalite and forsterite the theory predicts for the components heats of fusion, 25,200 and 29,300 cal mole (super -1) respectively, which differ considerably from the value, 14,000 cal mole (super -1) for each component, calculated by Bowen and Schairer, who assumed ideal behavior for the undissociated molecules. Orr found a calorimetric heat of fusion of 22,000 cal mole (super -1) for fayalite. When applied to solid solutions of Mg 2 SiO 4 and Mg 2 GeO 4 , where there is a common cation, the theory predicts that ideal solution theory for undissociated molecules may be used. The data of Ringwood for this system show, however, practically no separation between liquidus and solidus, and do not admit of the calculation of heats of fusion. The behavior of the system Mg 2 GeO 4 +Fe 2 SiO 4 with no common ion is predicted. Mg 2 SiO 4 and Mn 2 SiO 4 , with a common anion, behave like forsterite and fayalite.
Segregation Vesicles in Basaltic Lava
Authors: Smith R. E.
Published: September 2024

The dark fine-grained igneous material lining vesicles in amygdaloidal basaltic lavas from Walli, New South Wales, Australia, represents solidified residual melt which moved into early-formed vesicles before consolidation of the lava. In this manner segregation vesicles were produced. The effect probably represents an increase in the confining pressure applied to the fluid within the vesicles. Partial crystallization of a vesicular lava followed by completion of crystallization at a higher confining pressure (for example, at a deeper marine environment) could produce the observed features. The pervasive low-grade regional metamorphism was in no way involved in the production of the segregation vesicles.
Systematic Investigation of the Influence of Religion on Business Management: A Bibliometric Approach
Authors: Aivaz Kamer-Ainur , Petre Iustin Cornel
Published: September 2024

In the dynamic context of modern business, the role of religion in business management is increasingly attracting the attention of researchers and practitioners. Religion, seen as a set of spiritual beliefs and practices, deeply shapes people’s values, behaviors, and decisions, thus impacting the way organizations are managed. Using bibliometric analysis allowed us to identify research trends, the links between the keywords underlying the selected studies, and the impact of the publications on the business environment. The study revealed that religious values can shape ethical behavior, leadership styles, and corporate social responsibility in business. Most studies focus on the influences of Islamic, Catholic, and Protestant religions, leaving a significant gap in understanding how orthodox values and practices influence organizational behavior and business ethics, even though this is the dominant religion in many Eastern and South-Eastern European countries. For a more comprehensive perspective, future research should include case studies and surveys in these geographical and cultural regions, combining qualitative and quantitative methods of data analysis. This study provides a robust basis for future research, stimulating reflection on how religious values can shape the business landscape in the 21st century.
Financial Outcomes of the Locus of Control: PLS-SEM Evidence from Croatia
Authors: Novokmet Ana Kundid , Vuković Marija
Published: September 2024

Raising importance of personality traits within the financial decision-making literature inspired us to conduct a research with locus of control in the main role for achieving financial benefits in personal finance. PLS-SEM analysis was adopted using the data set of 130 Croatian citizens who took part in a questionnaire survey. We confirmed that external locus of control is detrimental to self-control, which afterwards reflects in personal finance management. To be more precise, people with less developed self-control are more prone towards compulsive buying, materialism and indebtedness. Personality traits such as locus of control are usually stable among adults. Thus, mainly self-control can be exercised and improved. That is the key message of this article for external people and various providers of financial literacy programs – change is possible and manageable principally via practicing self-control. Nevertheless, the subsequent studies could offer a more detailed insight into the interplays between locus of control, financial literacy, self-control and financial outcomes.

Towards Sustainable Consumption: Quantitative Insights into Consumer Behaviour on Circular Food Products
Authors: Bătuşaru Cristina Maria , Porancea-Răulea Andreea Simina , Rădoiu Alina , Sbârcea Ioana Raluca
Published: September 2024

The concept of Circular Food Products, focusing on sustainability and waste minimization throughout the production and consumption cycle, has garnered significant attention recently. This research aims to provide empirical insights into factors influencing consumer behaviour regarding sustainability in the food industry. Using quantitative analysis techniques such as the questionnaire to measure attitudes, preferences and behaviours among consumers, and employing structural modeling for the collected data, the study yields important findings that advance knowledge in sustainable food consumption. These findings promote environmentally friendly and socially responsible practices within the food industry and among consumers. One key finding is the low level of consumer awareness about circular food products and their benefits. Perceptions varied, with some viewing these products as innovative and eco-friendly, while others considered them inferior to conventional products. This suggests the need for effective marketing campaigns to shape consumer awareness and perception of circular food products. Additionally, the research highlighted varying levels of awareness regarding the environmental impact of food production and consumption, with some consumers demonstrating strong concern for sustainability.These insights underscore the importance of targeted marketing and education to enhance consumer understanding and acceptance of circular food products, ultimately supporting the shift towards more sustainable consumption patterns.
The Influence of Demonstrative Formal Rules on the Dynamics of the Effectiveness of Institutional Frameworks
Authors: Serzhanov Vitaliy , Abramov Fedir , Andryshyn Volodymyr
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this article is to identify the impact of demonstrative formal rules on the dynamics of the effectiveness of institutional frameworks. The importance of forming an effective institutional framework for any country is undeniable. The presence of an effective institutional framework is a prerequisite for ensuring the successful socio-economic development of the country, on the other hand, an ineffective institutional framework can have a wide range of negative consequences, including disparities in regional development. However, the achievement of today’s effectiveness of institutional frameworks cannot guarantee the proper socio-economic development of the country in the long term, because the institutional framework of any country is not unchanged, but is in a state of constant transformation due to the need to adapt the current formal rules to the new challenges facing society. Accordingly, the identification of the factors that determine the dynamics of the effectiveness of formal rules is no less important than the identification of the factors of ineffectiveness of formal rules. It is shown that one of these factors is demonstrative formal rules, that is, rules whose target effectiveness was not taken into account from the very beginning, and the only purpose of their implementation was to increase the political ratings of the initiators of their implementation. It has been proven that an effective measure to prevent the spread of demonstrative formal rules can be an increase in the general education of the population. The main advantages of the proposed measure are the low level of transaction costs and the absence of danger of manipulating public sentiment.
Examining Employee Buy-In for Organizational Change: A Structural Equation Model
Authors: Som Ratana , Chan Raksmey
Published: September 2024

Regardless of the prevalence of change, getting employees on board is hard to achieve. While the investigation of leadership and change readiness has been done continuously, the examination of staff involvement in change and working culture, particularly of the non-western world, has been less appreciated. This article addresses this gap by analysing the connection between employee buy-in, trust, relationship, and task-oriented culture. The main data was gathered from 214 respondents. They are employees at a higher education institution in Cambodia and have experienced a technology-driven change recently. The structural equation model reveals significant relationships between trust and working relationship as well as task-oriented culture, highlighting the pivotal role of these cultural attributes in fostering trust and facilitating buy-in for change. The findings contribute to Social Exchange Theory by showcasing the reciprocal exchange between the employee relationship and support in organizational changes and portray a missing trust among Cambodian employees. Recommendations were drawn from the findings for the betterment of change practices by the managers and practitioners.
ESG Rates Divergence on the Emerging Markets in the European Union
Authors: Vasiu Diana Elena
Published: September 2024

The growing emphasis on sustainability has led to a rise of ESG rating providers, but this expansion has brought challenges. ESG ratings are complex and can vary significantly between agencies, due to different scoring methods and non-standardized disclosures, making accurate assessments difficult. Moreover, investors and companies express limited confidence in the accuracy of these ratings. Regulatory developments aim to improve ESG disclosure and comparability, however, discrepancies in assessment criteria and rating methodologies persist. These aspects have led to the increasing concern of researchers from the academic field and professionals from the financial markets to identify how divergent are the ESG rates provided by various suppliers, what are the causes of this divergence, how do these influence the performance of companies and above all, how the negative effects of divergent ESG rates mitigated. Most researchers focused their attention on the aforementioned aspects on the developed financial markets from the USA or Europe, on the top companies or on the companies listed on the BRIC emerging markets. This article analyzes the divergence of ESG rates provided by three well-known rate-providers, for companies listed on emerging markets in Europe, contributing to increasing knowledge in this field.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to analyze the function of the “Sahabat Perempuan dan Anak” (SAPA) 129 service in addressing violence against women in Aceh. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection involved focus group discussions (FGD) with the Aceh Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection Agency (DPPA) and in-depth interviews with female victims of violence. The FGDs and interviews were conducted over two weeks, from June 10, 2024, to June 23, 2024. Data analysis was performed using Robert K. Merton’s Structural Functional Theory. The results indicate that the SAPA 129 service has not yet functioned optimally in addressing violence against women in Aceh. The identified barriers include low digital literacy, strong patriarchal culture, limited understanding of women’s rights, environmental influences, and biased interpretations of religious provisions. According to Merton’s theory, the function of this service should be to address social problems and maintain societal stability. However, there is dysfunction due to the stigma and discrimination against female victims of violence, and the service’s inability to address the root causes of violence related to cultural, normative, and patriarchal social structures.AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis fungsi Layanan Sahabat Perempuan dan Anak (SAPA) 129 dalam penanganan kekerasan terhadap perempuan di Aceh. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan teknik studi kasus. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui FGD dengan DPPA Aceh dan wawancara mendalam dengan perempuan korban kekerasan. FGD dan wawancara dilakukan selama dua minggu, dari 10 Juni 2024 hingga 23 Juni 2024. Analisis data menggunakan teori Struktural Fungsional Robert K. Merton. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Layanan SAPA 129 belum berfungsi optimal dalam mengatasi kekerasan terhadap perempuan di Aceh. Hambatan yang diidentifikasi meliputi minimnya literasi digital, kuatnya budaya patriarki, kurangnya pemahaman tentang hak-hak perempuan, pengaruh lingkungan, dan tafsiran bias terhadap ketentuan agama. Berdasarkan teori Merton, fungsi layanan ini seharusnya mengatasi masalah sosial dan menjaga stabilitas masyarakat. Namun, terdapat disfungsi karena stigma dan diskriminasi terhadap perempuan korban kekerasan, serta ketidakmampuan layanan untuk mengatasi akar penyebab kekerasan yang terkait dengan budaya, norma, dan struktur sosial patriarkal.

Evaluating Audience Engagement as a Measure of Digital Diplomacy Effectiveness
Authors: Bazlutckaia M. M. , Sytnik A. N. , Tsvetkova N. A.
Published: September 2024

This article presents relevant tools for analyzing engagement in digital diplomacy, where ‘engagement’ is defined as the two-way interaction between a digital diplomacy channel on social media and its users. Existing methods for evaluating engagement often fail to fully utilize the available data or lack the flexibility needed for specific diplomatic purposes. Using the case study of US digital diplomacy in Russia, this paper addresses two research questions: (1) To what extent are the automated evaluation metrics developed by data aggregator platforms applicable for analyzing engagement in digital diplomacy? (2) Do these metrics help identify significant patterns in digital diplomacy?The findings of our pilot study indicate that the automated engagement metrics provided by the Popsters and TGStat data aggregator services effectively measure engagement in terms of audience reach and expansion, geographic distribution of traffic, overall engagement, and engagement based on content type (text, photo, video, or link) or text length. The analysis of selected metrics reveals two key trends in US digital diplomacy in Russia: since 2022 there has been a notable shift in focus toward Telegram as the primary platform, and while the content partially reaches the existing Russian-speaking audience, it struggles to expand its overall reach.The authors provide six recommendations for diplomatic agencies and consulting firms to enhance the tools for analyzing digital diplomacy engagement: (1) adopt automated engagement metrics that account for the interface differences among social media platforms; (2) incorporate built-in topic modeling of posts; (3) integrate sentiment analysis of comments; (4) develop mechanisms to detect traffic manipulation; (5) track multi-level reposts, the timing and spread of hashtag diplomacy, and audience growth considering these processes; and (6) evaluate digital diplomacy activity concerning responses to comments. The authors advocate for closer collaboration between the academic community and diplomatic practitioners to improve engagement metrics and thereby enhance the effectiveness of digital diplomacy.
Isoperimetric Control of an Expanding Set
Authors: Kim Don
Published: September 2024

Consider a contaminated region in a 2-dimensional plane that is expanding with unit normal speed. Our goal is to apply a control function (e.g. pesticide) along the boundary of this region to reduce the contaminated area to zero in the shortest possible time, while consistently clearing a fixed amount of land per unit time.
It has been proven that when the initial contamination forms a convex set, an optimal eradication strategy requires applying pesticide to the boundary segments with the highest curvature at each moment. This is equivalent to adopting a myopic strategy that minimizes the perimeter of the contaminated region at each time step. This result provided insight for developing numerical methods to compute approximations of these optimal strategies for convex sets. Namely, our simulation consists in alternating between computing the isoperimetric (perimeter-minimizing) profile with a convex constraint and then dilating the resulting set by a radius equal to the time mesh. This process is repeated until the shape reaches a circle, which can then be trivially scaled down to a point. The isoperimetric profile is obtained through morphological opening, an erosion-dilation operator commonly used in image processing for noise removal.
A major open problem remains: a full characterization of optimal eradication strategies for initial contaminations of general shapes. We have applied the above numerical scheme with non-convex constraints to gain some intuition in this broader context. This may entail replacing the morphological opening operator with a more general algorithm relying on the medial axis of a shape. It turns out that, in some configurations, it is more effective to split the contamination into several components and shrink them separately.
Exchange Rate Pass-Through to Provincial Consumer Prices: A Geographical-Goods Level Analysis
Authors: Wolfgram Hailey
Published: September 2024

This study investigates exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) to provincial consumer prices in Canada from a geographical and goods-specific perspective. ERPT refers to the extent in which changes in the exchange rate influence domestic price movements. For example, a depreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar may increase the price of imports into Canada from the U.S., thereby raising consumer prices in Canada. Using extensive datasets from 2000 to 2023, this research quantifies the magnitude and speed of ERPT across various provinces and consumer price index (CPI) categories. The methodology employs a regression model framework, building upon the approach of Savoie-Chabot and Khan (2015) to estimate the impact of short-run and long-run exchange rate fluctuations on consumer prices. The findings highlight significant regional and categorical variation in ERPT. For example, Alberta exhibits the highest short-run ERPT for energy consumer prices where a 1% increase in the exchange rate leads to a 0.60% increase in prices. In contrast, Quebec exhibits the lowest short-run ERPT for energy consumer prices where a 1% increase in the exchange rate leads to only a 0.18% increase in prices. Price responses in each of these provinces differs from the short-run ERPT of Canada which is 0.32%. Furthermore, energy prices exhibit the highest sensitivity to exchange rate fluctuations, while most often categories excluding energy show minimal impact. These results emphasize the importance of region-specific economic policies to address distinct provincial price responses to exchange rate fluctuations. This study offers valuable insights for policymakers to develop strategies that mitigate any adverse economic effects of exchange rate changes and promote regional economic stability and growth.
Rural clinical placements in clinical education: impact on rural practice interest in Canada: a scoping review.
Authors: Oluwole Oluwamisimi
Published: September 2024

Statistics Canada defines rural areas as towns or municipalities outside the commuting zone of larger urban centres.(1) Clinical students included are students in the nursing and medical field at all levels of education. There is an inequitable distribution of healthcare professionals in Canada.(2) Research has shown that 8% of physicians practice in rural areas, whereas 19% of Canadians live in rural areas. (3, 4) This trend has raised concerns about inequitable access to healthcare practitioners in rural regions. Despite concerns raised, there is a lack of comprehensive research investigating incentives for nursing and medical students to stay and practice in rural settings. Furthermore, much of the research that investigates healthcare student settlement in rural areas is outdated, and given the COVID-19 pandemic, many intentions have changed.  Objective This scoping review seeks to explore the influence of rural clinical placements on the choice of practice locations among nursing and medical students in Canada. The aim is to address the critical gap in healthcare provision in rural areas by assessing whether experiential learning in these settings encourages graduates to pursue careers in similarly underserved areas. In studying the effectiveness of clinical placements on self-reported interest, methods of improving long-term outcomes for primary healthcare staffing in rural areas can be evaluated and applied to current training. The goal is to address disparities in healthcare accessibility and gain an understanding of policy development and educational practices.  Design A scoping review  Methodology The review will synthesise available qualitative and quantitative literature in English language spanning from 1970 to the present to ascertain the relationship between rural clinical placements during educational training and the subsequent selection of rural practice settings. Publications will be sourced from scientific databases such as CINAHL and Ebscohost. Grey literature will also be included, and journal citations will be searched. Screening will be carried out by two independent reviewers, and all disputes will be settled by a third reviewer.
Laboratory systems for detonation research
Authors: Crix Andrew , Sandrasagra Justin
Published: September 2024

Decarbonizing global energy systems is among the most pertinent challenges in the climate crisis. Tightly tied to the economic prosperity of a nation and responsible for more than 75% of global emissions, decarbonization of the energy sector will require well-developed solutions. The emergence of detonation engines can reduce emissions in aviation and gas-fired power generation, with theoretical efficiencies 40% lower than conventional engines. These efficiencies have yet to be realized in practice, due to our lack of understanding of detonation propagation and its instabilities. This project aimed to develop the laboratory systems required to study detonations. To this end, a long rectangular channel was manufactured and outfitted with a gas handling system to inject a mixture, an ignition system, pressure transducers to capture the propagation characteristics, and an optical system enabling Schlieren photography. The gas handling system uses sonic nozzles, thus flow rate is a linear function of upstream line pressure. Each line contains a pressure transducer, microcontroller to process signals, LCD for pressure readout, and a regulator for adjustment of the line pressure. The ignition system uses an ignition box that steps up a 12 V supply to 400 V, an ignition coil raising the voltage to 15-40 kV, and a spark plug to ignite the mixture. Ignition, pressure transducer signal acquisition, and Schlieren photography are all synchronized using a NI-6356 DAQ with LabVIEW. The DAQs analog input ports receive readings from the pressure transducers along the channel, the timing of which and known distance between transducers allows for velocity calculations. The schlieren system utilizes the digital output channels to synchronize camera shutter with an LED driver, and parabolic mirrors, positioned to optimize schlieren imaging. The LED driver requires greater current than produced by the DAQ thus a current amplifier circuit is used to bridge the DAQ and driver.
Motion Classification of Objects using Accelerometer and Gyroscope Readings
Authors: Monger Simone
Published: September 2024

It can be challenging to properly analyze data from moving objects when there is limited information about the conditions under which the data was collected. The focus of this research is to use accelerometer and gyroscope data as the input to machine learning models to accurately classify data points based on the movement of the object within its environment.
Three machine learning models were implemented and tested: a Hidden Markov Model (HMM), a Random Forest Model (RF), and a Multilayer Perceptron Model (MLP). The majority of the data collected via a simulated environment in Gazebo was used to train all three models. The simulated experiments involved a Jackal Robot from Clearpath Robotics driving on three terrains — flat ground and up and down a ramp with a 7-degree slope — that match the classification states. The simulation data was manually classified based on the delta values between orientation data. The models were tested using the remaining 20% of simulated data, data from a physical Jackal, and data from haul trucks working in an open-pit mine.
The HMM is based on unsupervised learning which meant that the pre-classified datapoints were not useful in training the model. This model was ineffective at classifying the datapoints because the probabilities of the classification changing from one datapoint to the next were situationally skewed, so it was highly improbable that the state changed between datapoints. Due to the inability of this model to classify the simulated data, no further testing was completed. The RF model was able to classify the simulated data with 99.78% accuracy and the MLP model classified the simulated data with 99.73% accuracy. The RF model and the MLP model require noisier training data to accurately classify real-world data. Further testing is currently being conducted using data from a physical Jackal and haul trucks.
Adaptation to Environmental Stressors Conferred by Gene Copy Number Variation in Herbicide Resistant Amaranthus palmeri
Authors: Gama Sara
Published: September 2024

Many rampant agricultural weeds have been found to contain gene copy number variation, a genetic adaptation that can facilitate the evolution of stress resistance. Amaranthus palmeri is a highly competitive and problematic agricultural weed in the United States which continues to naturalize, spreading northward to Canada. A.palmeri has gained attention due to its rapid evolution of herbicide resistance— a mechanism conferred by gene copy number variation of EPSPS. Researchers hypothesize that this gene is contained within an amplicon alongside other stress tolerance related genes. This raises the question of whether increased EPSPS gene copy number is associated with higher tolerance to environmental stressors, beyond herbicide stress. To prepare for addressing this hypothesis, I conducted a pilot project testing the ideal conditions for germination of A.palmeri. I planted 200 seeds divided between greenhouse and growth chamber environments. Many seeds benefit from a period of cold as a signal to break dormancy, thus, each category was further divided into two treatments: control and cold stratified (seeds were incubated in a –23 cold room for a week). I was interested in whether the increased consistency of temperature, light intensity, and photoperiod provided by a growth chamber, relative to a greenhouse, would increase germination rates. Results indicate that greenhouse grown seedlings had a 71% germination rate and within each treatment, 86% of cold stratified plants germinated while only 56% of the control group germinated. Whereas in the growth chamber, surprisingly only 26% of plants germinated with a breakdown of 22% cold stratified and 30% control. Thus, to germinate enough plants for a large-scale experiment, I chose to cold stratify seeds and grow them in the greenhouse for my undergraduate thesis. In this common garden experiment, I am currently growing 500 plants which will be divided into four stress treatment categories: control, salinity, drought, and salinity x drought. Using phenotypic measurements and digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) to quantify EPSPS gene copy number, I will test for a possible association between plants with a higher tolerance to these simulated environmental stressors and the presence of increased EPSPS gene copy number.

Tożsamość polskich uczniów bilingwalnych mieszkających w Irlandii
Authors: Botwin Joanna
Published: September 2024

Uczniowie bilingwalni, którzy migrują wraz z rodzinami lub urodzili się poza granicami kraju, doświadczają wielu zmian, muszą dostosować się do nowego środowiska oraz innego języka. Tożsamość dziecka dwujęzycznego, które styka się z dwiema kulturami oraz żyje i wychowuje się w środowisku, gdzie używane są dwa kody językowe, może być hybrydą tych dwóch światów. Wszystkie te kwestie mogą prowadzić do poczucia wyobcowania lub problemów z określeniem własnej tożsamości. Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia, jak polskie dzieci dwujęzyczne mieszkające w Irlandii postrzegają siebie, czy identyfikują się z Polską, czy też czują się Irlandczykami. Sformułowane w artykule wnioski odnoszą się do dwóch grup respondentów, bilingwistów urodzonych w Polsce oraz ankietowanych urodzonych w Irlandii (jeden uczeń urodzony we Włoszech). Uwagę poświęca się również czynnikom, które mają istotny wpływ na samoidentyfikację, takim jak rola rodziców, wpływ otoczenia, kontakty z rodziną w Polsce czy system edukacji.

Setiap individu pasti menginginkan tinggal di lingkungan yang bersih dan alami. Memiliki lingkungan tempat tinggal yang sehat memiliki banyak manfaat positif, seperti mendukung kesehatan fisik dan mental penghuni, mengurangi risiko kecelakaan dan bencana, mendorong produktivitas, dan membuat lingkungan terlihat indah secara visual. Menurut World Health Organization (WHO), terdapat beberapa syarat untuk memiliki lingkungan sehat, seperti udara bersih, iklim yang stabil, pasokan air yang memadai, sanitasi yang baik, penggunaan bahan kimia yang aman, perlindungan dari radiasi, lingkungan kerja yang aman, pertanian yang berkelanjutan, kota yang mendukung kesehatan, dan pelestarian alam. Mewujudkan permukiman sehat dan alami di kawasan perkotaan memiliki tantangan tersendiri karena kepadatan penduduk, pembangunan yang sudah ada, dan dampak urbanisasi. Tantangan yang sama dihadapi oleh RW 01 Kelurahan Mojo, di Kota Surakarta, yang yang merupakan kawasan yang ditata dengan konsep peremajaan dan konsoldasi lahan. Dalam upaya untuk menciptakan kesadaran dan inisiatif masyarakat di RW 01 Kelurahan Mojo untuk menciptakan lingkungan sehat dan alamiah, dilakukan kegiatan sosialisasi permukiman sehat dan kegiatan penanaman pohon bersama. Harapannya, upaya ini dapat menjadi contoh baik bagi permukiman perkotaan lain di Indonesia.

Jumlah penduduk di Kelurahan Petamburan adalah 21,3% dari jumlah keseluruhan penduduk di Kecamatan Tanah Abang. Kelurahan Petamburan merupakan kelurahan yang memiliki tingkat kepadatan paling tinggi di kecamatan Tanah Abang. Namun juga terdapat RW yang sangat aktif didalam organisasi masyrakatnya. RW tersebut adalah RW. 03 dimana RW ini juga yang merupakan RW terpadat dalam satu kelurahan Petamburan. RW ini terdiri dari 16 RT, dari jumlah RT dalam satu RW sangatlah beralasan jika dikatakan wilayah RW ini sangat padat. Satu RT terbentuk karena ada minimal 37 kepala keluarga. Dengan kondisi perumahan yang cukup padat, maka ruang luar yang ada selain berfungsi sebagai jalur pedestrian tetapi juga difungsikan sebagi ruang komunal. Dari pengamatan sementara, ruang bersama atau komunal dan jalur pedestrian yang sehari-hari digunakan, beberapa tempat terasa sirkulasi udaranya kurang. Permasalahan yang timbul di masyarakat RW 03 kelurahan Petamburan Jakarta Pusat, yang diangkat sebagai fokus dari program pengabdian masyarakat kali ini adalah rendahnya kualitas sirkulasi udara di ruang luar komunal, karena kurangnya pengetahuan dan kesadaran kolektif serta terbatasnya kemampuan ekonomi masyarakat untuk memperbaikinya. Tujuan yang hendak dicapai pada tahap ini adalah membuka wawasan masyarakat akan pentingnya ruang luar komunal yang sehat dan dapat dilakukan dengan cara-cara sederhana berbiaya murah. Agar supaya terbangunnya kesadaran warga untuk berinisiatif mewujudkan fisik ruang luar komunal dengan menerapkan desain tepat guna memanfaatkan sumber daya yang tersedia.

Wilayah Rusunawa Rorotan memiliki area luar yang belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal oleh warga penghuni rusun. Lahan yang tidak diolah dan sedikitnya interaksi di ruang luar merupakan bukti bahwa ruang luar tersebut belum dioptimalkan penggunaannya. Hal ini dikarenakan kondisi ruang luar belum memadahi untuk warga penghuni berkegiatan dan berinteraksi di dalamnya. Tujuan dari pengabdian ini adalah meningkatkan pemahaman dan peran warga penghuni sebagai komunitas lokal untuk ikut merancang penggunaan ruang luar rusunawa terutama dalam hal interaksi sosial, pemanfaatan ruang dan kenyamanan pengguna. Sehingga, warga penghuni memiliki panduan praktis mengenai upaya pemanfaatan ruang luar sesuai dengan kebutuhan mereka. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan ini adalah dengan melibatkan partisipasi aktif warga penghuni dalam merencanakan dan merancang ruang luar sesuai dengan kebutuhan mereka. Rencana kegiatan diawali dengan survey awal, identifikasi masalah dan pembahasan rencana program. Kemudian dilanjutkan audiensi dengan mitra untuk menentukan peserta sasaran. Kegiatan dilaksanakan secara luring dengan melibatkan perwakilan warga penghuni rusunawa dalam diskusi-diskusi untuk merancang ruang luar. Dari kegiatan yang dilaksanakan, warga penghuni memiliki kecenderungan menggunakan ruang luar pada sore hari dengan durasi paling lama selama 2 jam dan secara spesifik memilih lokasi yang berada di dekat unit hunian mereka. Dalam proses perancangan menggunakan simulasi secara 3D untuk membantu membayangkan penggunaan ruang luar berdasarkan lokasi, waktu kegiatan dan luas ruang pada setiap area ruang luar rusunawa. Visualisasi 3D tersebut dirasa berhasil membantu warga penghuni mendapatkan gambaran konkret tentang kegiatan di luar ruangan. Sehingga, pemanfaatan ruang luar dapat ditingkatkan dengan memperhatikan preferensi pengguna untuk menciptakan lingkungan tempat tinggal yang sesuai dengan harapan warga penghuni.

Workforce protection is important because work safety will also greatly affect work productivity and also lead to company profits. Comfortable work activities from workers will also make the quality of work relationships higher. Worker satisfaction is related to variables such as role conflict, turnover intentions and results and so much work has been done in organizational management. PT. E Strong Nusantara Mandiri is a company engaged in the chemical sector with workers who carry out their activities directly related to chemicals. Therefore, knowledge about Occupational Health and Safety is very important. The problem raised is how to provide knowledge to workers at PT. E Strong Nusantara Mandiri about the importance of occupational safety and health and how to provide awareness to implement occupational safety and health for workers at PT. E Strong Nusantara Mandiri. The method of implementing this activity begins with identifying the problem by conducting an interview with the director of PT. E strong Nasusantara Mandiri. The data from the interview results are analyzed as a basis for formulating the form and technical implementation of the activity. The formulation of the activity is then made into a proposal to obtain adequate support from the Community Service Institution and PT. E Strong Nusantara Mandiri. In the implementation of the extension activity, the lecture, discussion and simulation methods are used. Finally, an incidental consultation is held. The results of this activity are that workers at PT. E Strong Nusanatara Mandiri do not yet understand about Occupational Health and Safety so that this activity provides significant input for workers

The increasing need for basic urban facilities and infrastructure, such as housing, can result in a reduction in green open land which can reduce the ability of water to infiltrate into the ground and increase surface runoff. Aria Rempoa Townhouse, a housing complex that is still in the development process, may have problems like these. Therefore, it is necessary to implement the zero delta runoff concept with ecodrainage technology such as retention pond and infiltration well. Research was carried out on the design flood at the outlet before the townhouse is built and after the townhouse is built if the zero delta runoff concept is applied with retention pond and infiltration wells. There are 3 scenarios, scenario 0 before the townhouse is built, scenario 1 after it is built without ecodrainage technology, scenario 2 after it is built with a retention pond, and scenario 3 after it is built with infiltration wells. The research results show that scenario 2 fulfills the concept of zero delta runoff with a pool area of 42 m2 with a depth 3.5 m and 2 outlet pipes with diameter 10 inches without doors discharge the design flood at the outlet of 0,281 m3/sec which is smaller than design flood at the outlet before the townhouse is built of 0.288 m3/second.

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a drilling technique that does not damage the groundsurface; the HDD process involves a stage that requires high concentration and physical skills and isoften carried out in challenging working conditions, causing mental Workload and fatigue in HDDworkers. HDD workers should be given improvements in their work methods to be safe whenworking due to being too tired or losing focus. HDDs must be monitored in real-time, which requiresworkers to get good results without errors so that workers experience workload pressure andmental fatigue. This study aims to measure and minimize mental Workload and fatigue in HDDworkers and determine improvement proposals based on the why-why diagram. Mental workloadmeasurement using the RSME method and fatigue using SOFI and why diagrams are used to findcause and effect in mental Workload and fatigue experienced by HDD workers. Based on the analysisof RSME, the scale value obtained based on six indicators of WL, WD, WP, WME, WA, and WF is 92.05,which is in the category of enormous business carried out, and the KiK indicator or fatigue gets thehighest scale value of 106.52 with the business category given is very large so that HDD workersexperience a mental workload. Mental workload and fatigue correlate. Based on the results of SOFI,the sleepiness dimension received a score of 21.83 with a high level of fatigue category. Therefore,the proposed improvement to the causal results of the Why Diagram is adding the workforce,adjusting work shifts, and monitoring and evaluating HDD workers.
