"How exactly is it done here?" Conducting cross-jurisdictional research with judges and court staff
Authors: Hannaford-Agor Paula
Published: July 2023

The legal, political, and organizational environment in which judges and court staff work affects their performance in significant ways.  To ensure that researchers control for these effects, it is critical that they take sufficient time in the research design phase to identify relevant factors that might complicate their analyses or distort the interpretation of research findings.  This article highlights common challenges of multijurisdictional research, including inconsistent use of terminology, differing organizational structures and procedures, and exogenous factors such as court governance, policymaking authority, funding, and local court culture.  It also offers guidance to researchers on identifying and integrating these factors into their analyses to enhance the validity and utility of research findings.
Tiefenstrukturen von Interaktions- und Kommunikationsprozessen in Hochschullernwerkstätten

Published: July 2023

Pascal Kihm betont mit seiner Einführung ins Tagungsthema zunächst die Relevanz, die Interaktionsprozessen als Kernthema für die Forschung und Lehre in Hochschullernwerkstätten zukommt. Die Komplexität und Multidimensionalität von Interaktionen kann nur erfasst werden, wenn nicht nur Oberflächen- oder Sichtstrukturen von Lehr-Lern-Situationen beschrieben, sondern insbesondere deren Tiefenstrukturen analysiert werden. Anstatt die pädagogische Haltung der Lernbegleitung, das Materialarrangement der Lernwerkstatt oder den Raum als dritter Pädagoge zu fokussieren, müssen demzufolge Interaktionen zwischen Lernbegleitung und Lernenden sowie Aspekte der Material- und Raumnutzung beforscht werden. Diese Forderung wird an mehreren Beobachtungsvignetten entwickelt und konkretisiert. (DIPF/Orig.)

The model for estimating the fuel consumption of a combine harvester for harvesting soybeans is considered in the article. The model is based on predicting fuel consumption during the periods of operating time of the combine, during which the engine is running. Such periods include the time spent on the main work, unloading soybean grains, moving to the place of unloading and idle moving. A general equation for the specific fuel consumption of a combine harvester in these periods of time is obtained. A distinctive feature of the model is that it takes into account the impact on fuel consumption of the combine thresher loading in terms of throughput. The model allows predicting the fuel consumption of each combine and for the whole agricultural enterprise. Approbation of the model was carried out in a specific agricultural enterprise of the Tambov region. Based on the model, the required amount of diesel fuel for soybean harvesting was 4901 liters. In fact, 5488 liters were used up. The relative error in forecasting the total fuel consumption for harvesting soybeans for the whole enterprise was 10.7%. The dependences of the specific fuel consumption on the operating speed are obtained using the example of the ACROS 550 and KZS-1218A-1 combine. For both brands of combines, a decrease in specific fuel consumption with an increase in operating speed was revealed. The most significant decrease is observed in the speed range of 2…6 km/h. With an increase in operating speed from 2 km/h to 6 km/h, the specific fuel consumption of combines decreases on average by 1.9 times. The dependences of fuel consumption on the yield and straw content of the harvested crop were obtained. The significance of the influence of these factors and the need to take them into account in the analysis and forecasting of fuel consumption for soybean harvesting are confirmed.

An important aspect influencing the provision of a given seeding rate is the interaction of seeds with the mechanism of the double ejector under various operating modes of the sowing unit. The study of the interaction of seeds with structural elements of the sowing machine, taking into account their physical and mechanical properties, will allow us to evaluate the efficiency of seed placement at various speeds of the sowing unit and develop automatic control systems for the mechanism of the twin ejector. The purpose of the study is to determine the statistical characteristics of the distribution of seeds depending on the position of the twin ejector and the rotational speed of the sowing disc and to determine the optimal values of these parameters. The design and operating parameters of the sowing machine were determined using the methodology of planning a multifactorial experiment. A second-order planning matrix based on two-factor Box-Wilson plans was used. Lisbon soybeans were used for research. The speed of the meter disk was varied from 15 rpm (low level) to 55 rpm (high level). The position of the seed ejector was set so that the suction hole was blocked halfway (lower level) to a fully open hole (upper level). The coefficient of variation of the time intervals between the ejection of seeds from the sowing apparatus and the crushing of seeds were chosen as optimization criteria. The regression equations that adequately describe the seeding process under study were obtained from the results of the experiments. Installed. that the control factors should be within the following limits: the rotational speed of the seeding disc should be from 15 to 35 rpm, and the position of the excess seed remover should provide overlapping of the holes by 10 - 35%, while the coefficient of variation will be less than 33%, and the crushing of seeds less than 1 %. The data obtained can be used to develop a control algorithm for the automatic regulator of the position of the twin ejector, depending on the speed of the sowing unit.

The technology of preparation and supply of complex fuel is proposed to improve the operational and technical characteristics of diesel engines of automotive equipment, as well as technical means for its implementation. The analysis of the work of the ATT samples showed that its operation occurs with low speeds in the field and heavy loads on the internal combustion engine (ICE), while its thermal tension increases and the combustion process worsens in the combustion chamber, leading to the formation of carbon deposits. To solve this problem, a method and technical means are proposed for cleaning engine parts from the formed carbon deposits without parsing it during daily operation in order to improve the operational and technical characteristics of equipment, on which the readiness of samples of the machine and tractor fleet will directly depend. The developed method is based on direct mixing of fuel with water, dispersion of the resulting mixture and feeding into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine when the fuel temperature exceeds a given value, and depending on the temperature, as well as the number of revolutions of the internal combustion engine and from different levels of the mixing tank. The versatility of the developed devices for the implementation of the proposed method is that they can be used not only in stationary conditions, but also on board the equipment during its operation. The implementation of the developed method and technical devices will ensure effective removal of carbon deposits due to the interaction of red-hot carbon particles with water droplets (steam), which will lead to an increase in the resource of diesel internal combustion engines, restoration of operational and technical characteristics of especially worn-out diesel internal combustion engines and ultimately increase the readiness of individual samples of ATT and, in general, the technical readiness of the machine and tractor fleet.

Analysis of Errors in the Written Essays of Engineering Students
Authors: García Isabel María
Published: July 2023

There is a clear tendency to consider the errors made by learners in their process of language learning not as a negative aspect but as a natural step in the development of their language skills. In recent decades, researchers have considered errors as the evidence for a creative process in language learning. Therefore, the main objective of this chapter will be to classify the errors made by undergraduate engineering students in a public Spanish Polytechnic University over the last two courses. The authors categorise those errors following the comparative taxonomy proposed by Dulay, Burt, and Krashen in “Language Two” (1982). This taxonomy arranges errors into the following categories: interlingual, developmental, ambiguous, and other errors. Consequently, this chapter demonstrates that the most frequent category of errors is the interlingual category. And in order to lead this research, a corpus of a total of 72 essays was examined, comprising their written productions in the task assigned throughout these last two years.

Factors Affecting Continuance Intention of M-Government
Authors: Alshammari Thamer
Published: July 2023

Mobile government (m-government) can potentially provide substantial benefits. Nonetheless, the low level of use has prevented realizing the potential benefits of m-government. As a result, researchers have studied the factors affecting the acceptance of m-government. However, to date, no study has empirically investigated the factors affecting the continuance intention of using m-government. This article argues that investigating these factors will provide a greater insight into why the potential benefits have not been realized. The theoretical foundation of the proposed model builds on the expectation-confirmation model, information system success model, and the external factor trust. This study has adopted a quantitative methodology and conducted an online questionnaire. The data were collected from 553 m-government users in Saudi Arabia, who have used multiple m-government services. The results show that the proposed model has the capability to identify the factors affecting the continuance intention in m-government context.

Published: July 2023

Focusing on the problem that the quantity of equipment in the distribution court is huge and the operation status is difficult to reliably control, a method of equipment health status assessment in the distribution court based on big data analysis in the distribution network of things architecture is proposed. Firstly, based on the internet of things for power distribution, the evaluation system of equipment status in the distribution court is designed to ensure the efficient analysis of massive data through the cooperation of cloud center and edge computing. Then, at the edge of the system, the grey correlation analysis algorithm and the Granger hypothesis method are used to obtain the correlation and causality of the failure rate of equipment components and the influencing factors so as to understand the accurate failure rate of equipment components. Finally, the weight of factors affecting the equipment failure rate is identified by using the dynamic variable weight analytic hierarchy process, and it is corrected in the cloud center; and the overall health degree of the equipment in the distribution court is obtained through transformation. Based on the selected station area model, the proposed method is experimentally demonstrated. The results show that it can accurately obtain the real-time health status of the court equipment and the evaluation accuracy is close to 98%, which provides theoretical support for the operation and maintenance of the distribution network.
Electrical Properties of Heavily Al-Doped 4H-SiC

Published: July 2023

We investigate the temperature-dependent resistivity (ρ(T)) and Hall coefficient (RH(T)) of heavily Al-doped 4H-SiC and discuss the underlying conduction mechanisms. The sign of RH(T) changes from positive to negative in nearest-neighbor hopping (NNH) and variable-range hopping (VRH) conduction, whereas it is positive in band conduction because Al-doped 4H-SiC is a p-type semiconductor. We propose a general physical model to explain why RH(T) in hopping conduction becomes negative at low temperatures, which is applicable to both NNH and VRH conduction. Moreover, we elucidate why the activation energy for negative RH(T) becomes similar to that of ρ(T) in NNH conduction.
Characterization of SiC/SiO2 Interface State under Different NO Annealing
Authors: Yu Kang Hua , Wang Yu Wei , Wang Jun
Published: July 2023

Interface properties of 4H-SiC N-MOS and P-MOS capacitors with two different NO annealing conditions are characterized by the conductance method. With the enhancement of nitrogen passivation, the density of interface states is reduced as expected. Fast interface states (response frequencies >1 MHz) are observed for both N-MOS and P-MOS capacitors with weak NO passivation. After strong NO passivation, the fast states are passivated to the interface states with lower response frequency in N-MOS and significantly suppressed in P-MOS. It indicates that the nitridation may passivate the defects by shifting them from shallow level to deep level.
golpes bajos de la Unión Europea a la Carta Social Europea
Authors: Carril Vázquez Xosé Manuel
Published: July 2023

Al hilo del acierto innegable de una afirmación del Profesor VALDÉS DAL-RÉ, se analiza aquí —siempre en un marco contextual asentado en  lo que debe entenderse por la Europa de los Derechos Humanos— la relación que ha querido tener la Unión Europea con la Carta Social Europea y con la interpretación y aplicación de la misma por parte del Comité Europeo de Derechos Sociales, a través de la actividad de control que implica tanto el sistema de informes por parte de los Estados como el sistema de reclamaciones colectivas. Este análisis permite comprobar la distinta forma que han tenido la Unión Europea y el Comité Europeo de Derechos Sociales para conciliar los derechos sociales y las libertades económicas, pero también para poner de relieve el hecho de que la Unión Europea, a pesar de sus declaraciones sobre la importancia de la Carta Social Europea, se ha querido apartar del contenido de la misma, haciéndolo incluso de forma hipócrita y desleal. Por todo ello, es lógica y comprensible la postura de quienes defienden la necesidad de que la Unión Europea deba adherirse a la Carta Social Europea para lograr así una convivencia armoniosa entre el Derecho de la Unión Europea y el Derecho del Consejo de Europa en el ámbito de los derechos sociales.

Adoption of online teaching platforms for reaching learners and including technologies in lesson delivery was never so crucial before the Pandemic. The shift from regular classroom teaching to distant learning during the pandemic presented many challenges to educators. This study explored the correlation between teachers’ digital competency and their self-efficacy during distant teaching. This research employed a quantitative approach, and a questionnaire was administered to a sample of teaching staff from Karachi's southern region. 155 respondents participated in this research including 85 Nursery teachers and 70 from lower primary level(I–II). The questionnaire included questions on factors for digital competency and teachers’ self-efficacy in separate sections. The digital competency section assessed teachers' proficiency in using digital tools, platforms, and technologies relevant to online teaching. The self-efficacy section measured teachers' beliefs in their capabilities to perform specific tasks related to two factors, which were instructional strategies and students’ engagement. Data analysis included correlation analysis to find the relationship between teachers' digital competency and self-efficacy , instructional strategies and students engagement .Correlation values (.839) , (.727) and (.764) where p < .001 revealed statistically significant relationship between the research variables, concluding the significant role of digital competencies in online teaching. The findings further highlighted the importance of professional training in equipping teachers with technical knowledge and digital competence in order to use online teaching tools with high self-efficacy, which will eventually improve their overall performance in online lesson delivery. Additional qualitative and quantitative research is suggested on further factors that influence teachers’ self-efficacy in their online teaching through digital resources.

Published: July 2023

Vibrant colors are all around us, but natural pigments are gaining importance as we become more aware of environmental and health risks. In particular, while yellow is abundant in nature, red is limited. Thus, this study aims to determine the plant sources of red pigments that could help increase the production of natural dyes. Five plant samples, namely Achiote (Bixa orellana Linn.), Vine spinach or Alugbati (Basella alba Linn.), Coleus or Mayana (Plectranthus scutellarioides (L.) R. Br.), Scarlet jungle flame or Santan (Ixora coccinea Linn.), and Teak (Tectona grandis L.f.), were extracted using distilled water as a solvent with alum (aluminum potassium sulfate, KAl(SO4 )2 · 12H2 O) as a mordant at a ratio of 1:50. The resulting dye extracts were then treated with 25 g of sodium carbonate Na2 CO3 to extract red lake pigments. The results showed that the extracted lake pigments varied in color, with orange, white, green, reddish-brown, and brown, respectively. While red lake pigments were not produced, the findings suggest the potential for increased natural dye production and provide a promising source for further investigation to support research on natural pigments.

Authors: Sun lei  , Yang gaoyuan
Published: July 2023

Primary Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the exocrine glands, leading to dryness of the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Depression is a common comorbidity in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome, and it can have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. This review paper provides an overview of the clinical presentation and prevalence of primary Sjogren's syndrome and depression, as well as a summary of the research progress on the relationship between these two conditions. The proposed mechanisms underlying the relationship between primary Sjogren's syndrome and depression, including neuroendocrine and immune system dysregulation, proinflammatory cytokines, stress and coping mechanisms, psychological factors, and other factors, are also discussed. Additionally, various treatment options for depression in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome are reviewed, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. While there are some limitations to the current research, understanding the relationship between primary Sjogren's syndrome and depression is important for improving the care and quality of life of patients with this condition.
Offensive cyber operations: States’ perceptions of their utility and risks
Authors: Skingsley Juliet
Published: July 2023

Cyberspace is now established as an important domain of national and international security. Until recently, informed and open discussion on the responsible use of offensive cyber capabilities has been constrained by high levels of secrecy around national strategies for their use. Insights as to how individual states view the utility of offensive cyber, and how they perceive and manage associated risks of escalation and conflict, have been hard to access. A lack of open debate around the limitations of cyber operations has also led to inaccurate portrayals of cyber capabilities as versatile ‘silver bullet’ solutions which can address a widening variety of security challenges. This paper offers an in-depth exploration of new or revised national cyber strategies, authorization mechanisms and legislation in nine NATO states, including interviews with national cyber experts. As well as aiming to promote more informed debate on the key issues, it presents important policy recommendations to support the responsible use of offensive cyber and to contribute to the achievement of a secure cyberspace for all.
Melukat: Exploring the Educational Significance of Purity in Balinese Ritual Practices and Religious Leadership Development
Authors: Kamvysselis Maria Ioannis Kellis
Published: July 2023

This study explores the educational significance of purity in Balinese ritual practices and religious leadership development. Purity is a central concept in the Āgama Tīrtha religion of Bali, which is a unique blend of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Tantra. The study uses autoethnography as its methodology to understand the strength of the Balinese beliefs and the impact of ritual practices on education and leadership development. The study focuses on the water purification ceremony (Upacara Melukat), which is of central importance to the daily Sūrya-Sevana, worship of the sun. The study examines the impact of purity, pollution, anomaly, and taboo on Balinese gender roles, traditions, ceremonies, and religious leadership. It argues that the need for purity is the motivator for rigidity in Balinese society and religious leadership and that purity ideals could also be behind other biases. The study concludes that the motivation behind the rules and taboos observed and documented is the preservation of the very Balinese identity. This study contributes to the existing knowledge in the field of Balinese ritual practices, faith-based healing traditions, and religious leadership development.

Las políticas públicas son instrumentos mediante los cuales el gobierno responde a demandas ciudadanas, y garantiza el cumplimiento de los derechos proclamados por la Constitución de la República del Ecuador, la legislación y la normativa vigente en el país.  Este artículo se desarrolló con el objetivo de determinar la eficiencia de las políticas públicas vinculadas al deporte de alto rendimiento en el Ecuador. Se empleó un enfoque cualitativo, mediante investigación bibliográfica y documental para fundamentar teóricamente el marco institucional y organizacional que sustenta la formulación de políticas públicas vinculadas al deporte de alto rendimiento, se identificaron además las dinámicas de acción existentes en el sistema deportivo y se analizaron las acciones del Estado y sus actores relacionadas con la eficiencia de las políticas y estrategias adoptadas para impulsar el desarrollo del deporte de alto rendimiento en el país. Se establecieron entre las principales falencias, la falta de instrumentos de aplicación y la ausencia de una nodalidad que articule acciones entre los diferentes estamentos del deporte en el país y la complejidad en la estructura del sistema deportivo que impide que las condiciones sean adecuadas para que las políticas públicas contribuyan al logro de las metas e indicadores planteados.

Transformando residuos sólidos para la acción climática: un análisis descriptivo
Authors: Novelo Miguel Ángel Nadal , Chabolla José de Jesús Vázquez
Published: July 2023

Debemos entender los vínculos entre las cuestiones prioritarias que ponen en tela de juicio la presencia de desechos sólidos y determinar las formas adecuadas de gestionarlos para evitar que contribuya más al cambio climático. Nos estamos dando cuenta de esto de maneras dramáticas y a menudo dolorosas — las sequías, los deslizamientos de tierra, los huracanes y la prolongada congelación del Ártico en los últimos años son el planeta diciéndonos algo importante: que nuestro bienestar y el ambiente natural están profundamente atorados en una danza. Las vidas entrelazadas son frágiles y honorables. Además de la mala gobernanza, las tensiones políticas entre los países vecinos y los intereses especulativos individuales, cuando la naturaleza también se ve abrumada por los seres humanos con los desechos generados por sus actividades, se convierte en una medida de la seguridad de millones de personas o una parte insegura de la ecuación. La gente decide. Hay millones de personas en todo el mundo. Aun así, todavía no sabemos cómo manejar colectivamente recursos como desperdicios, desechos, agua, tierra y aire limpio para evitar los efectos del cambio climático. Se necesita una acción urgente por parte de la comunidad conservacionista para abordar esta deficiencia respondiendo a varias preguntas clave. ¿Se ha resuelto ya adecuadamente el problema de la acumulación de residuos generados por actividades económicas y sociales? Es necesario adoptar medidas de gestión integradas que entrañen procesos que garanticen un control humano definitivo e impidan la destrucción de los ecosistemas por los productos emergentes. Si los esfuerzos que estamos tratando de implementar terminan siendo más sobre contención que sobre resolución de problemas, tenemos suficiente sabiduría y experiencia práctica acumulada a lo largo de miles de años de nuestra propia gente para identificar amenazas, prioridades de acción y opciones de políticas disponibles. Y averigüe cómo son receptivos a los nuevos procesos tecnológicos que implican la conversión de residuos en materiales no peligrosos que han demostrado ser exitosos. También ayuda a desarrollar comunidades, reduciendo el consumo de recursos naturales que el planeta necesita para mantener su equilibrio. Este trabajo propone convertir los desechos en un proceso tecnológico que impida que los residuos de las actividades humanas lleguen al planeta y contribuya al cambio climático al producir productos esenciales en las comunidades. Cumplimiento de los tratados internacionales para proteger los recursos naturales.
Análise dos fatores que influenciam a falência nas empresas

A natureza deste estudo assenta-se a partir da temática denominada “Análise dos fatores que influenciam a falência nas empresas”, realidade vivenciada por ínúmeras organizações que por falta de vários fatores como inesxistência de planejamento, ausência de capital de giro e outros, não conseguem manter-se por muito tempo, acarretando danos do mais simples ao mais complexo dentro dos seguimentos que compõe as empresas, logo urge a necessidade de conhecer os fatores etiológicos que oportunizam a materialização deste dilema que acomete as organizações no Brasil e que não priva nenhuma desta organização independente de porte. Deste contexto, surge a seguinte indagação: quais os principais fatores têm influenciado para que as empresas abram falência antes mesmo dos 05 anos de existência? Face ao exposto, objetiva-se com este estudo conhecer quais os fatores que influenciam as empresas abrirem falência antes mesmo de completarem 05 anos no mercado de trabalho. O percurso investigativo que figurou a operacionalização da metodologia exposta neste estudo, alicerçou-se na tríade: quanto à Natureza da pesquisa, lançou-se mão da pesquisa Aplicada, visto que a mesma objetiva produzir conhecimentos para aplicação prática, envolvendo interesses locais. No que tange aos fins, optou-se pela pesquisa Observacional, método amplamente utilizado nas pesquisas que comtemplam as Ciências Sociais e por fim e não menos importante, quanto aos meios, primou-se pela pesquisa Bibliográfica, a qual caracteriza-se por utilizar material já publicado, constituindo-se bastante de livros, artigos de periódicos com informações utilizadas também por meios cibernéticos. Pelos estudos realizados e comparados, ficou evidente que o quantitativo de fatores mencionados no levantamento que versa sobre a temática, aponta sobremaneira para ótica do adminsitrador, todavia, uma dupla de fatores consultadas nos estudos realizados não configuraram fatores fundamentais, como por exemplo: a carga tributária e a formação acadêmica do emprendedor, respectivamente.
