Consumer’s behavior towards organic food: A case study in Ho Chi Minh City
Authors: Ha Hoa T. T.
Published: August 2021

This study aimed to examine factors influencing consumers’ behavior towards organic food. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to test the relationships between the factors through data collected from 450 consumers in Ho Chi Minh City. Research results showed that consumption intention had the greatest direct impact on consumer behavior. Subjective norms had the strongest influence on consumption intention, followed by the attitude towards organic food. In addition, the price of organic food was a barrier to consumption intention towards this food. At the same time, the results of the multi-group analysis showed that the relationships in the models were not significantly different between male and female, but significantly different among income groups.
Effects of two hydroponic components on water quality, snakehead fish growth and leaf mustard production in aquaponic system
Authors: Nguyen Tu P. C.
Published: August 2021

Aquaponic model is a farming system that integrates a recirculating aquaculture system with hydroponics. There are three hydroponic methods commonly employed in the aquaponics systems: the media bed (MB), the nutrient film technique (NFT) and the deep-water culture - floating rafts (DWC). This study was conducted to evaluate effects of two hydroponic systems (DWC and MB) on water quality parameters, growth rate of fish and development of vegetable in the aquaponic model of snakehead fish (Channa striata) and leaf mustard (Brassica juncea). Snakehead fish were stocked with a density of 40 fish/75 liters of water and were cultured for 167 days. The results showed that daily temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen parameters in the two systems were almost the same and relatively stable while the electrical conductivity in the MB was much higher than that in the DWC. Similarly, the levels of the parameters weekly monitored (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, total phosphorus, and alkalinity) in the MB were higher than those in the DWC. At the end of the experiment, final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate and survival rate of fish in the MB treatment were higher than those in the DWC treatment, but the feed conversion rate of fish in the MB was lower than that in the DWC. On the contrary, vegetable yields in the DWC were significantly higher than those in the MB. In general, the DWC aquaponics work better than the MB system
Hygienic conditions of the processing environment and microbial loads of Tra fish (Pangasius hypophthalmus): Trimming step
Authors: Tong Ngoc T. A.
Published: August 2021

During the processing of frozen Pangasius hypophthalmus fillets, the microbiological counts depend on the source of raw materials and processing conditions, those impact significantly on the quality of the final product. In particular, trimming is considered a high-risk step of cross-contamination during processing. This study aimed to compare and evaluate the microbial quality at trimming step in four frozen Pangasius processing factories located in the Mekong Delta region. Trimmed Pangasius fillet and contact surfaces samples (i.e., gloves and processing tools) were examined including total mesophilic counts, Coliforms, E. coli and coagulase-positive Staphylococci (Staphylococci coa+). The results showed that total mesophilic counts on trimming Pangasius processed in A, B, C and D plant were 7.1 ± 0.4; 7.5 ± 0.7; 6.7 ± 1.1 and 6.0 ± 0.4 log CFU/g, respectively. Coliforms, E. coli and Staphylococci coa+ on trimmed Pangasius ranged 4.0 - 5.1; 2.1 - 3.7 and 1.8 - 4.2 log CFU/g, respectively. Thus, proper preservation of fillets during processing is suggested. Good manufacturing practices should implement effectively to minimize the risk of cross-contamination for the trimmed fillets.
Isolation of agarase-producing bacteria from seawater and examination of the enzyme activity
Authors: Bien Thanh T. L.
Published: August 2021

This study aimed to isolate agarase-producing bacteria from seawater, and then determine activity of the agarase. Eight coastal surface seawater samples were collected from Ba Ria - Vung Tau province. Twenty-one bacterial strains that are capable of liquefying agar were isolated. These isolates produced disintegration zones around their colonies on agar plates with diameters ranging from 4.0 to 7.0 cm after an incubation period of 2 days at room temperature. Five bacterial strains (M1, M5, M7, M62B, and M71) that produced large halos on plates were identified belonging to Vibrio genus with identity > 96%. The crude enzyme activities of these strains ranged from 0.15 to 0.22 U/mL in reaction with agarose as substrate. Among isolated strains, the strain M71 showed the highest agarase activity, and was used to examine the degradation of seaweed. The hydrolysis of dried Gracilaria seaweed by the crude enzyme of M71 at concentration of 5% (v/v) released 915 μM/mL reducing sugar after a 24-h incubation period at 40oC.

ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK APPROACH: AN APPLICATION TO HARMONIC LOAD FLOW FOR RADIAL SYSTEMS
Authors: Arunagiri A. , K Suresh , Venkatesh B. , Ramesh Kumar R. , Ahmed Khan Mustajab
Published: August 2021

Radial Distribution Systems (RDS) require special load flow methods to solve power flow equations owing to their high R/X ratio. Increasing use of power electronic devices and effect of magnetic saturation cause harmonics in RDS. This paper reports a multi-layer feed forward ANN with error back propagation learning algorithm for the calculation of bus voltages and power loss for different harmonic components. The proposed method is tested upon a 33-bus RDS and the results are reported for various harmonics. Extensive testing of the proposed ANN based approach indicates its viability for harmonic load flow assessment for radial systems.
CREATING AND MEASURING RELATIVE HARDNESS FEELING VIA MASTER-SLAVE HAPTIC GRIPPER
Authors: Tay Tee Tiong , Wong Kiong
Published: August 2021

This paper discusses the completed work in designing a master-slave haptic gripper system aiming to recreate the relative hardness feeling of different real test objects at the slave gripper to the user at the master gripper. The main contribution of this paper is to prove the feasibility of recreating the relative hardness feeling of real objects to the users as oppose to recreating the hardness feeling of virtual objects which has been proven to be feasible for quite some time. Three experiments involving twenty test subjects and fifteen pairs of test object combinations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the master-slave haptic gripper system. Experiments show that users at the master gripper end are able to differentiate the relative hardness level of the test objects handled by the slave gripper. The secondary contribution of this paper is the introduction of haptic index defined as a set of numerical value that describe the otherwise immeasurable subjective relative hardness level of an object felt by human. The proposed haptic index can contribute towards designing better robots and controllers that can feel the relative hardness of objects like in the human world.
DETECTION OF STICK-SLIP OCCURRENCES THROUGH NEAR FIELD NOISE MEASUREMENTS
Authors: Emira Nadim A.
Published: August 2021

The present study is concerned with evaluating the pin-on-disk test rig usage and the measurements conducted to recognize the occurrence of the stick-slip phenomenon. The test rig consists of two separate blocks to ensure that the vibration of the elastic disk and emitted noise are completely adverted to friction between the moving pin and stationary steel disk. The occurrence of stick slip is clearly picked up using near field noise measurements. It can be distinguished from the vibration signal as high consecutive spikes, but the existence of such spikes is clearer and more definite in the

noise signature.

TRADISI PENGHORMATAN DEWA DALAM MASYARAKAT TIONGHOA BEKASI
Authors: Hartati C. Dewi
Published: August 2021

This article discusses the practice of  the cult  of temple”s deity. This  cult is said to be a reinvented tradition. The tradition is created because it is formed by the elements that come from the original tradition. By tracing the process of discovering the Hobsbawm tradition from the sacred and profane aspects of Durkheim and its relation to totemism, it is evident that this tradition has a new form and function. The original function of tradition was to strengthen identity, but the new function of the reinvented tradition appears to be an integrative function. The reinvented tradition also occurs in an effort to attract public interest or attention to make it more popular in the community. The temple community carries out an invented  traditional process so that the tradition of  the cult becomes more attractive, and is preferred more popular, through the appearance of entertainment shows at festivals.

Authors: Le Anh Quoc , Dang Van Phu , Nguyen Ngoc Duy , Nguyen Quoc Hien , Ngo Dai Nghiep
Published: August 2021

Maillard reactions between chitosan and glucosamine were induced by Co-60 gamma irradiation method and the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of resulting products were investigated. Briefly, a mixture of chitosan (1%) - glucosamine (0.5%) was irradiated with a dose range of 0-100 kGy. The Maillard reaction products of chitosan and glucosamine (CTS-GA MRPs) were analyzed by UV spectrophotometry, and residual glucosamine was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Antibacterial and antioxidant activities of the CTS-GA MRPs were investigated with radiation dose and pH by using directly contacted and ATBS•+ free radical scavenging methods. The results indicated that the CTS-GA MRPs formed at 25 kGy exhibited high antibacterial activity at both pH 5 and 7. On the other hand, antioxidant activity of CTS-GA MRPs increased with the increase of dose. The results also revealed that CTS-GA MRPs with high antimicrobial and antioxidant activities are potential candidates as preservative agents in food processing and cosmetics.
Covenant, Typology, and the Story of Joseph
Authors: Emadi Samuel
Published: August 2021

Critical scholars traditionally assert that the Joseph story (Genesis 37–50) does not develop any of the covenantal themes prominent in Genesis 1–36. By considering Joseph’s relationship to the kingship, seed, land, and blessing promises of the Abrahamic covenant, this article concludes that the Joseph story provides a significant development of the Abrahamic covenant. Joseph is an anticipatory fulfilment of the covenant and thus provides literary and redemptive-historical resolution to the Genesis narrative. Joseph also points forward to a more complete fulfilment of the patriarchal hopes expressed in the Abrahamic covenant. These observations provide evidence from within Genesis itself that the author intends Joseph to be read typologically, anticipating God’s eschatological work through the Messiah.
‘King of Kings’ in Other Words: Colossians 1:15a as a Designation of Authority Rather Than Revelation
Authors: Northcott Christopher S.
Published: August 2021

Colossians 1:15a is typically understood to designate Jesus as the way in which the otherwise unknowable God can be known by human beings. Support for this conclusion is drawn from Hellenistic Judaism, Greek philosophy, and theology merely inferred from the ‘image of God’ concept in Genesis 1:26-28. However, a more satisfactory reading of this verse sees in it a presentation of Jesus as Yahweh’s representative ruler of the earth. There are several supports for this reading: (1) the explicit development of the ‘image of God’ concept in Genesis; (2) parallel uses of the ‘image of God’ concept in ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman sources; (3) the modification made to the preposition in Colossians 1:15a; (4) an alternative reading of the word ‘invisible’; and (5) the subsequent phrase in Colossians 1:15b, ‘firstborn of all creation’. By describing Jesus in such a way, he is presented as the legitimate ruler of the world, potentially in deliberate contrast to the world rulers of that day: the emperors of Rome, who were thus viewed by the merit of their special relationship with their gods.
Why Derbe? An Unlikely Lycaonian City for Paul’s Ministry
Authors: Wagner Bob , Wilson Mark
Published: August 2021

This article discusses Paul’s visit to Derbe contextually within the first journey as well as his subsequent visits to this minor Lycaonian city. It reviews the difficulty of earlier travellers and scholars such as Davis, Sterrett, and Ramsay to localise the site. The discovery of two inscriptions naming Derbe have more precisely situated the site, yet some ambiguity remains. Paul’s projected routes between Lystra and Derbe as presented in maps and atlases are reviewed. The authors’ autopsy of this area provides fresh insights into Paul’s route between the two cities. The article closes with a suggested reason why Paul visited Derbe on his first journey and thereby founded a community of believers there.
The Coherence of Penal Substitution: An Edwardsean Defence
Authors: Woznicki Christopher
Published: August 2021

Among recent evaluations of penal substitutionary atonement one significant critique is that given the necessary and sufficient conditions for punishment the doctrine is incoherent. In this essay I defend the coherence of penal substitution by providing an account of Christ’s relationship to humanity such that it is conceptually possible to meet the necessary and sufficient conditions for punishment. In order to do this, I turn to Jonathan Edwards’ understanding of creation and identity. I show that a view called ‘Edwardsean Anti-Criterialism’ provides the metaphysics necessary for a coherent account of penal substitution.
Congregational Membership, Church Purity, and Presbyterian and Congregationalist Polemics During the Puritan Revolution
Authors: Chung Youngkwon
Published: August 2021

During the revolutionary decade of the 1640s, intra-Puritan conflict over ecclesiology, or the theological issue of church government, dominated the ecclesiastical landscape of England. Owing to the leading Puritans’ lack of support for complete separatism as an ecclesiological alternative, the conflict pitted mainly the Presbyterians against the Congregationalists. This divergence of opinion over ecclesiastical system of governance has fascinated historians. Yet what this article finds is that, somewhat surprisingly, church purity, which was an issue closely linked to church system of governance and emerged as another highly contested theme vis-à-vis ecclesiology among contemporary polemicists, has not received the attention it deserves. Both Presbyterian and Congregationalist polemicists discoursed at length about the imperative of setting up pure churches, safeguarding the purity of churches from spiritual contamination, and maintaining the religious integrity of both its members and divine ordinances; yet, in many important ways, they differed over the precise means and mechanisms to achieve such a state of purity and integrity for the life of the church. It is hoped that a detailed examination of this theme of church purity as discoursed and debated by the Presbyterians and Congregationalists will add fresh perspectives on earlier works on religious conflict amongst the Puritans as it unfolded over the course of the revolutionary decade of the 1640s as well as the subsequent decade.
Acts 27–28: The Cerebral Scars of Shipwreck
Authors: van de Weghe Luuk
Published: August 2021

Conclusions drawn from recent studies on memory and trauma shed light on the vividness and immediacy of Acts 27:1–28:15. First, trauma catalyses enduring recollection. Subsequent memories can be visualised as ‘cerebral scars’ left by first-hand traumatic experiences. Second, shipwreck survival creates a plausible scenario for the formation of such memories. After analysing four possible approaches to Acts 27:1–28:15, this article concludes that the passage captures the cerebral scars of an eyewitness experience and ought to be approached accordingly.
Is the Masora Circule, too, among the Scribal Habits?
Authors: Phillips Kim
Published: August 2021

Research into masoretic biblical manuscripts (MSS) is heavily reliant on our ability to reunite fragments once belonging to the same codex, now separated one from the other in the Genizah morass, and to identify the scribes behind codices whose colophons have been lost. This task is made especially difficult by the fact that the oriental square hand in which these codices were written is highly stereotypical. Consequently, the paleographer must rely on paratextual features: non-textual features that accompany the biblical text itself, which form a kind of fingerprint for each MS or scribe. This article argues that the masora circule (the small circule used in these MSS to link the masoretic notes to the biblical text itself) functions as part of this unique fingerprint.

A Quotation in Psalm 109 as Defence Exhibit A
Authors: Jenkins Steffen G.
Published: August 2021

Psalm 109 contains an infamous imprecation, which roughly half of modern commentators identify as a quotation of an enemy curse. On the other hand, most who detect a quotation believe it to be aimed against the enemy anyway, in an act of poetic justice. This article assesses the debate and offers fresh grounds for a more recent proposal. The quotation includes not only curse, but an accusation, justifying the curse against David. David quotes his accuser’s case, to protest that it is the fabrication of enemies who have suborned perjury. Finally, he prays that this plot against him would fail.
The Antiquity of Psalter Shape Efforts
Authors: Jenkins Steffen
Published: August 2021

In recent decades, Psalms scholarship has paid increasing attention to the overall editorial arrangement of the book of Psalms, and to the placement of individual psalms as their literary context. An obvious objection to this enterprise is its novelty, especially since the Psalms have enjoyed unparalleled exegetical attention in the history of Christian and Jewish exegesis. This objection is fed by the nearly ubiquitous inaccurate presentation of Psalter-shape readings as originating in 1985 with Gerald Wilson. While Wilson has changed the landscape and is deservedly named as the recent ancestor of this project, that history is inaccurate. We will show that a desire to understand the shape of the whole Psalter, and its editorial intention, can be dated to the second century, leading through various stages to full-length commentaries following this approach being attempted in the nineteenth century. Finally, without detracting from Wilson’s unique contribution, we will show that he was not alone in his own day but that others were engaged in this task concurrently and in the decades before him.
‘Show Me the Money’: Jesus, Visual Aids, and the Tribute Question
Authors: Croy N. Clayton
Published: August 2021

The question about paying tribute to Caesar is one of the most incendiary queries ever posed to Jesus. It seems straightforward, but either a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response is politically perilous. Jesus’s answer seems equally straightforward, but scholars have debated its meaning, even the basic question of whether it is affirmative or negative. But many analyses have erred by considering the logion apart from Jesus’s use of the coin as a visual aid. After a brief survey of visual aids in biblical narratives and classical rhetoric, it becomes clear that the coin adds materially to Jesus’s response and clarifies his meaning.
Dating Luke-Acts Further Arguments for an Early Date
Authors: Seccombe David
Published: August 2021

Alexander Mittelstaedt (2005) has provided new impetus to a long-standing opinion that Luke-Acts was written in the early 60s of the first century AD. Karl L. Armstrong (2017) provides a recent overview of the dating debate and argues that an early date makes best sense of the extensive evidence. This paper suggests three considerations arising from the historical character of the rest of the century which support Mittelstaedt’s and Armstrong’s view. The first: AD 66–98 was a time of intense anti-Jewish sentiment, in which articulation of the nationalistic Jewish hopes expressed in the third Gospel and Acts would have been dangerous, and unlikely for a careful author. Second, it was also a time that ill accords with Acts’ assumption of Jewish legitimacy and its plea for the acceptance of Gentile Christianity. Third, the attention given to the voyage as Acts draws to its conclusion bespeaks an author who knew nothing of the cataclysmic avalanche of events that took place from AD 62–70.
The Influence of the Murder Commandment in 1 Corinthians
Authors: Rosner Brian S. , Williamson William Andrew
Published: August 2021

This article investigates the influence of the Decalogue commandment not to murder in 1 Corinthians as a case study of Paul’s dependence on the law for ethics. Paul does not quote or allude to the murder commandment in the letter. However, there is good evidence that the murder commandment, in line with its interpretation in the Jewish Scriptures and early Jewish moral teaching, is a fundamental presupposition of Paul’s moral teaching in 1 Corinthians. This can be seen in Paul’s use of murder as a metaphor and of antisocial vices as synecdoches for the murder commandment, his concern about the moral impurity of such murder, and the close relationship between Paul’s call to love and his call to forsake such antisocial vices. Reading 1 Corinthians with the murder commandment in mind, especially as it was understood in ancient Judaism, sheds light on the nature of the problems in the church of God in Corinth and clarifies Paul’s response to the problems in the church.
The Punctuation of Hebrews 10:2 and its Significance for the Date of Hebrews
Authors: Church Philip
Published: August 2021

The significance of Hebrews 10:2 for the date of the letter has been the subject of debate, with some scholars finding it decisive for a pre-70 CE date and others denying it any importance, proposing (rightly) that the writer is arguing theoretically about sacrificial activity extending since the time of Aaron. The 2017 publication of the Tyndale House Greek New Testament brings the debate into sharp focus with Hebrews 10:2a punctuated as a statement (‘If the sacrifices were effective, they would not have ceased to be offered’) rather than a question (‘If the sacrifices were effective, would they not have ceased to be offered?’). Reading the clause as a statement implies that the temple has fallen and sacrifices have ceased, leading to the conclusion that Hebrews postdates this event. An examination of the manuscript evidence, the history of interpretation, the syntax, and the context shows that the clause should be read as a rhetorical question expecting a positive answer from the readers: ‘Yes, the sacrifices would have ceased if they were effective.’ Even if the writer were arguing theoretically, this would be a difficult answer had the temple been destroyed. This makes a pre-70 date more likely than a post-70 date.

Para tanto, toma como referência o conjunto de investigações que vêm sendo realizadas pelo Grupo de Pesquisa: Relações entre o Público e o Privado na Educação (GPRPPE/UFRGS), bem como, a análise de publicações das organizações empresariais nos seus sítios eletrônicos e na imprensa. As pesquisas nos países da América Latina têm apontado que a privatização ou influência do setor privado pode ocorrer de distintas formas, seja através da execução, através da venda de serviços ou da gestão das escolas, seja através   da disputa de direção sobre os conteúdos da política educacional e das escolas, bem como, a influência na elaboração de leis e regulamentações nas casas legislativas. Entende-se este processo como parte da disputa de hegemonia de concepções de sociedade, com suas decorrências para os projetos educacionais.
Soil Quality of a Rice Organic Farm in Langkong, M'lang, Cotabato
Authors: Cedeño Kathleen
Published: August 2021

Soil quality is crucial to global food production security. However, research data on soil quality, which is vital to enhancing soil fertility and crop yield, is limited particularly on the soil in the rice fields located in Langkong, Mlang, Cotabato. This study aims to assess the soil quality of one of the organic rice farms in said area. Soil samples were collected in thirty-one (31) paddies for two sampling periods: thirty (30) days after harvest and thirty (30) days after rice transplanting. Eight (8) soil indicators representing soil physicochemical characteristics were measured from 0-15 cm depth; the indicators were soil texture, water holding capacity, pH, exchangeable phosphorus, extractable potassium, total organic matter, electrical conductivity, and cation exchange capacity. Results reveal that soils in the studied area are characterized by clay loam with moderate water-holding capacity of about 62.57% and 60.57% for both sampling periods, respectively. The soil is strongly acidic (5.3 and 5.5) and has a low amount of organic matter (2.16% and 1.57%) and exchangeable P (8.55 ppm and 2.48 ppm), although it has marginal extractable K (80.77 ppm and 91.10 ppm). Also, the soils are non-saline and have low cation exchange capacity. The findings signify that the soils have insufficient fertility to sustain the optimal growth of the rice plants which can potentially reduce the yield of rice production. Thus, amendment of the soil quality and enhancement of soil management practices should be taken into consideration to further improve soil fertility to ensure productivity and profitability of farmers.

Comparative Ergative and Accusative Structures in Three Philippine Languages
Authors: Jubilado Rodney
Published: August 2021

Cebuano, Filipino, and Isamal are classified as Austronesian languages that are spoken in the Philippines. This paper deals with the comparative ergative and accusative structures of the aforementioned languages with focus on the syntactic relations and processes. The varieties of these languages are the ones used in Samal Island, Davao, Philippines. Aimed at the structural configurations, the verb phrase (VP) and the tense phrase (TP) are analytically scrutinized as the cartographic projections of the lexical information encoded in the argument structures and the thematic structures of the verbs. With the employment of the Minimalist Program in the analysis, the computation includes the movement, checking of features, and assignment of theta roles within the structures of the three languages. Findings include the (1) similarity of structural relations and processes in the VP and the TP of the three languages, (2) movement of the verb from the VP to the TP, and (3) merger of the verb complements occur in the VP that ensures the local assignment of theta roles and the checking of cases.

What About Private Kindergarten Teachers’ Authentic Leadership? The Role of Personality Traits
Authors: Yue Xiaoyao , Ye Yan , Zheng Xu , Feng Yongjun , Yang Yanan , Yang Yuanfan
Published: August 2021

The improvement of teacher leadership is the key to promote the quality of kindergarten education. As a kind of teacher leadership, authentic leadership is related to the teacher’s personality traits. This paper collects data on the authentic leadership and personality of 157 teachers in three private kindergartens in Kunming, Yunnan Province of China, and validates the research hypothesis that teacher personality can affect teachers’ authentic leadership through SPSS analysis. Based on the descriptive analysis and linear regression analysis, it can be seen that the authentic leadership of private kindergarten teachers in Yunnan Province needs to be further improved, and personality as an inseparable part of predicting leadership needs to be re-emphasized. Results also indicate that when testing personality traits, future researchers must use complete questionnaires instead of short questionnaires.
AN EVALUATION OF TRANSCRANIAL DIRECT CURRENT STIMULATION (TDCS) IN THE REDUCTION OF OCCUPATIONAL BURNOUT SYNDROME IN NURSES
Authors: Wilczek-Rużyczka Ewa , Gawrońska Aleksandra , Góral-Półrola Jolanta
Published: August 2021

The aim of the study was to answer the question as to whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is more effective in reducing burnout syndrome in nurses than the commonly used individual psychotherapy.

The study included 40 nurses from various health care facilities located in the Lesser Poland and Podkarpackie Voivodeship suffering from burnout syndrome. They were assigned to the experimental group while 20 to the control group. Two different therapy models were used: the experimental group (A) included 20 of the nurses treated with the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), four times a week for 8 weeks, in sessions that lasted initially 10, then 15, 20, 25 and finally 30 minutes and the control group (B) included 20 of the nurses treated with individual psychotherapy employed for 8 weeks, once a week for 30 minutes. To evaluate the results we used: screening with a clinical interview, the Mini–Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Beck Depression Inventory and a Polish adaptation of the Italian questionnaire created by Massimo Sentinello (LBQ).

The transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) used in Group A is more effective in reducing many symptoms than is the case with individual psychotherapy. Comparing the intragroup effects, it was found that the tDCS employed in Group A significantly reduced the intensity of depressive symptoms among the surveyed nurses [F (1.38) = 57.62; p <0.001; η2 = 0.603] while the individual psychotherapy used in Group B failed to produce a statistically significant effect [F (1.38) = 1.794; p = 0.188; η2 = 0.045]. These include a reduction of depression, a reduction in chronic psychophysical exhaustion, vegetative problem reduction, and the improvement of nurse-patient relations.

Neurotherapy with the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is more effective in reducing burnout syndrome than the commonly used individual psychotherapy. It also helps to return these nurses to full professional activity. The studies presented above recommend the use of new neurotechnologies in therapy as a result of their usefulness and non-invasive character.
TECHNICAL CHANGE IN THE POLISH LABOUR MARKET IN THE CONTEXT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Arendt Łukasz
Published: August 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has had impact on many areas of our life – it influenced the situation on the labour market, stimulated technical progress, especially in areas related to communication and information technologies and other related technologies (referred to as disruptive technologies). The paper aims to identify the type of technological change on the Polish labour market and to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on potential changes in the trajectory of this change in the context of J. Rifkin’s concept of “end of work”. The analysis is based on the available statistical data, a review of international literature, as well as the results of an expert debate. It is argued, that the processes induced by the polarisation of the labour market and the COVID-19 pandemic should not lead to the “end of work” and massive technological unemployment in Poland in the coming years. At the same time, a change in the employment structure (in terms of professions, industries and task-content groups) should be expected towards an increase in the importance of non-routine work, with a decreasing role of routine work, which will be replaced by technological solutions. The forms of provision of work will also be transformed - traditional contractual employment will be replaced by “contracts for the provision of labour services” concluded more and more frequently with the use of internet platforms.

Le Conseil Supérieur de la Magistrature du Burundi selon la loi n° 1/02 du 23 janvier 2021 : avancée ou recul en matière d’indépendance de la justice?
Authors: Niyonkuru Aimé-Parfait
Published: August 2021

Vers un pouvoir judiciaire du Conseil Supérieur de la Magistrature? C’est ce que donne à penser la loi organique n°1/02 du 23 janvier 2021 régissant l’organisation et le fonctionnement du Conseil Supérieur de la Magistrature. Outre son rôle d’antan de veiller à la bonne administration de la justice et de garant de l’indépendance des magistrats du siège dans l’exercice de leurs fonctions, le Conseil se voit, dorénavant, confier deux missions qui suscitent interrogations dans un Etat de droit : « contrôler la qualité des jugements, arrêts et autres décisions judiciaires dénoncés ou portés à [sa]connaissance (…) ainsi que leurs mesures d’exécution », d’une part, statuer sur les plaintes concernant les « mal jugés manifestes coulés en force de chose jugée », d’autre part. A l’aune de la garantie d’indépendance du pouvoir judiciaire, cette réflexion discute ces deux nouvelles missions du Conseil Supérieur de la Magistrature.

Published: August 2021

Background: With the outbreak of the Coronavirus, many restrictions are imposed on the processes of a funeral procession, funeral ablution, burial, mass mourning, and the memorial gathering of the family, relatives, friends, and neighbors. Objectives: Given the lack of research on the mourning experiences of families of the dead infected with coronavirus, the present study was to fill this gap in the literature. Methods: In this qualitative study, some semi-structured individual interviews were carried out in the Bu Ali Sina Medical Educational Center, Sari, Iran, with 16 individuals of the families of the dead with coronavirus, who were selected using the purposive sampling method. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, encoded, and categorized, and the data analysis was performed using Graneheim and Lundman’s qualitative approach. Guba and Lincoln’s criteria were also adopted to ensure the data reliability and validity. Results: Four main themes (namely psychological, behavioral, and physical reactions, virtual mourning, regretful mourning, and feelings of rejection and fear) and twelve subthemes were extracted from the collected data. Conclusions: According to the research results, COVID-19 changed the personal and social lives of the families with dead infected with Coronavirus from different perspectives. In this regard, providing support to families during the mourning period would help them better adjust with such changes causing the loss of a family member.

Authors: Louro Ana Lúcia , De Araujo Rodrigues Torres Maria Cecília , Müller Reck André
Published: August 2021

Neste artigo, apresenta-se três corpos de pesquisas relacionados ao tema espiritualidade/religiosidade de professores de música: dois sobre formação inicial e formação continuada de professores e um sobre aprendizagem a partir de experiências espirituais/religiosas. Partindo de uma tripla construção teórica, essas pesquisas compartilham pontos comuns: espiritualidade na educação musical; teorias da vida cotidiana; abordagem (auto) biográfica em educação. A discussão concomitante dessas três pesquisas pode contribuir para os debates sobre espiritualidade e educação musical na perspectiva das pesquisas brasileiras, especificamente daquelas realizadas no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, região sul do Brasil.
Arquiteturas do Brincar: cabanas encantadas
Authors: Ferreira de Oliveira Fernanda , Rigato da Silva Peterson
Published: August 2021

As crianças pequenas criam e inventam possibilidades de existências nos espaços públicos da educação infantil. O presente artigo apresenta as possibilidades de uma pedagogia dos sentidos, em que o processo de criação com as cabanas produzidas e espalhadas pelos espaços evidencia a autoria das crianças e da professora. Apresentando caminhos e transformando os espaços-tempos em uma dinâmica que inquieta e dinamiza os trajetos com abertura para o novo. O diálogo com a arquitetura, a arte e a educação infantil possibilita compreendermos a relevância da existência de um planejamento potente e de um currículo que tendem a ser revistos, pois os campos políticos, estéticos e éticos transitam como uma via de mão dupla, evidenciando o protagonismo e autoria da inventividade e do coletivo infantil.
PRIMAVERAS, TRANSPLANTES, RIZOMA (SOBRE A NATUREZA TÉCNICA DA CULTURA)
Authors: GIORGI Artur De Vargas
Published: August 2021

Este artigo explora algumas leituras a respeito da natureza no “Novo Mundo” buscando articulá-las com o motivo do “transplante”, amplamente utilizado por intérpretes modernistas da nossa cultura, e seu pressuposto arborescente. Em contraste com essas leituras, salientamos a força crítica de propostas rizomáticas para o entendimento da história e da cultura, destacando para isso os trabalhos de artistas e escritores.
RECOLHER, ESCOLHER, ACOLHER EM UM ARQUIVO LITERÁRIO DIGITAL: O PROJETO DA ELECTRONIC LITERATURE COLLECTION COMO COLETÂNEA E COLEÇÃO
Authors: PEREIRA Vinícius Carvalho
Published: August 2021

No presente artigo, analisamos os três primeiros volumes da Electronic Literature Collection (ELC), antologia seriada de literatura eletrônica desenvolvida pela Electronic Literature Organization. Interessa-nos discutir como a ELC se institui simultaneamente enquanto coletânea e coleção (dois conceitos diferentes em Português para collection), mobilizando um par de funções inerentes aos arquivos literários digitais: a instituição de um cânone e a preservação das obras compiladas nessa iniciativa. Apontamos como os modos de arquivamento da ELC afetam formas de produzir, circular, armazenar, catalogar ou ensinar a literatura eletrônica, determinando não apenas o passado ou o presente da e-lit, mas também seus possíveis futuros.

Authors: CURCINO Luzmara , OLIVEIRA Jéssica De , RODRÍGUEZ Marta Neira
Published: August 2021

Resumo: A análise de adaptações literárias, como parte das produções que constituem hoje o campo literário, pode lançar luz sobre os discursos sobre a leitura e sobre os leitores de um determinado segmento, discursos que circulam e que determinam o que em geral se diz sobre essa prática, assim como delimitam os modos adequados de exercê-la. Nosso objetivo, neste artigo é o de analisar algumas das representações discursivas do leitor infantil, que se podem identificar em adaptações do clássico Dom Quixote, a saber: O Cavaleiro do Sonho, de Ana Maria Machado e a coleção Don Quixote e Breogán, de Anxo Fariña.
