Authors: Silva Luiza Tuma da Ponte , Verbicaro Dennis
Published: February 2020

O presente artigo, feito por pesquisa teórica e pelo método dedutivo, tem como objetivo demonstrar a importância da hermenêutica, como ciência interpretativa, na atualidade, destacando a aplicabilidade da discricionariedade judicial, principalmente, nos casos difíceis, à luz dos fundamentos dos filósofos Herbert Hart e Ronald Dworkin, os quais apresentam diferentes concepções sobre o tema. A discussão entre os filósofos traz à tona a pluralidade das demandas e singularidade dos indivíduos e magistrados, enfatizando, nesse contexto, a importância de diferentes interpretações judiciais no cotidiano dos magistrados.
Responsabilidade Civil do Prático: medidas profiláticas à luz do Direito Comparado, das convenções internacionais e da boa doutrina maritimista
Authors: Pimenta Lucas Sarmento
Published: February 2020

Pretendeu-se lançar luz sobre a responsabilidade civil do prático. Adotou-se o método dialético, com abordagem qualitativa. Primeiro, expôs-se a relação jurídica entre o prático e o armador, assim como a natureza jurídica do serviço de praticagem. Depois, afastou-se a possibilidade responsabilização do prático perante terceiros prejudicados. Ainda, defendeu-se a responsabilidade objetiva do armador, tendo direito à ação de regresso contra o prático, quando o dano for causado por erro específico. Concluiu-se, baseado na experiência de outras nações, que é necessário mudança na legislação especial, sob responsabilidade das Autoridades Legislativa e Marítima, para que haja uma limitação da responsabilidade do prático.

O desenvolvimento humano no Espírito Santo nos anos 90: uma análise através do Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal Ajustado (IDHMA)
Authors: Neto Claudeci Pereira
Published: February 2020

O artigo analisa o desenvolvimento humano dos municípios do estado do Espírito Santo nos anos 1990, através de alterações metodológicas na forma como se apurava o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal (IDHM) até 2013. O novo indicador, que altera as dimensões longevidade e renda, denomina-se Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal Ajustado (IDHMA). Este indicava que no ano 2000 grande parte dos municípios capixabas enquadrava-se na faixa de médio desenvolvimento humano, e nenhum se encontrava na categoria de alto desenvolvimento. A região Norte possuía os piores indicadores de desenvolvimento em razão de suas especificidades socioeconômicas históricas. A maioria dos municípios com melhor IDHMA estava próximo a Colatina, Cachoeiro de Itapemirim e numa faixa litorânea que partia de Aracruz até Piúma.

Estimación del carbono almacenado en una plantación de Tectona grandis L. f. mediante ecuaciones alométricas
Authors: Pérez Javier Jiménez , Telles Antonio Ricardo , Alanís Rodríguez Eduardo , Yerena Yamallel José Israel , García García Dora Alicia , Gómez Cárdenas Martín
Published: February 2020

El bióxido de carbono (CO2) es el principal gas de efecto invernadero (GEI) antropogénico de la atmósfera. El objetivo de la investigación que se describe a continuación consistió en estimar el carbono almacenado a partir de variables dasométricas y ecuaciones alométricas en una plantación de Tectona grandis en Michoacán, México. Para ello se ajustó un modelo matemático mediante procedimiento Model y algoritmo Gauss-Newton. La evaluación del modelo matemático se realizó en función de la suma de cuadrado del error (SCE), la raíz del error medio cuadrático (REMC) y R2adj además de la significancia de sus parámetros. Se verificó el cumplimiento de los supuestos de normalidad, homogeneidad de varianzas e independencia de la frecuencia de residuos. Los valores de los parámetros del modelo ajustado fueron SCE=0.0399, REMC=0.0179 y R2adj= 0.82. La prueba de Shapiro-Wilk (0.96), la de White (12.99) y la de Durbin-Watson (2.01) no violan los supuestos de la regresión y son los mejores para la estimación de la variable dependiente. La plantación de T. grandis presenta una densidad de 1 666 árboles ha-1, 220.29 m3 ha-1 de madera, densidad básica 0.59 g cm3 y almacena 77.20 ton ha-1 de carbono a los 11 años de edad. La ecuación ajustada permite estimar de manera indirecta el carbono almacenado en los árboles, puede adecuarse para plantaciones bajo condiciones bioclimáticas similares, y es factible incorporarla a los sistemas de productividad para calcular el potencial de las plantaciones forestales comerciales como proveedoras de servicios ambientales a fin de mitigar las emisiones de CO2.
Cedrela odorata L.: oportunidades para su conservación y mejoramiento genético
Authors: Gálvez López Lorena , Vallejo Reyna Miguel Angel , Méndez Espinoza Claudia , López Upton Javier
Published: February 2020

Cedrela odorata, conocida comúnmente como cedro rojo, es una especie forestal tropical de alto valor comercial en el mercado internacional de la madera. La fragmentación del paisaje en su área de distribución y la tala clandestina con selección disgénica causan erosión genética en sus poblaciones naturales, lo que disminuye su potencial adaptativo y productivo. Debido a esto, es más susceptible a daños por factores abióticos y bióticos como Hypsipyla grandella, su principal plaga y causa de bajo rendimiento en plantaciones comerciales. Es así, que se incluye en las listas de organizaciones internacionales como IUCN y CITES, y en México es protegida por la NOM-059 SEMARNAT-2010; sin embargo, la falta de suficientes evidencias sobre su riesgo real pone en duda su permanencia en esta última. Por ello, aunque se han realizado algunas investigaciones para determinar su diversidad genética en poblaciones de América Central, cariotipo, caracterización de su plastoma y transcriptoma foliar, aún falta información esencial para su manejo eficiente y sostenible. El objetivo de la presente revisión es proporcionar un panorama del conocimiento existente sobre los recursos genéticos de cedro rojo, con el fin de identificar alternativas basadas en herramientas biotecnológicas que permitan la comprensión de la especie y fundamenten el diseño e implementación de programas de mejoramiento genético y conservación a largo plazo.

Un’analisi critica e trasversale della partecipazione spagnola alla Biennale di Venezia (2003-2011)
Authors: Orzes Anita
Published: February 2020

Studying the national participations at the Venice Biennale means studying part of the spine of the exhibition as the creation of national pavilions is generated at a time when the Biennale was still defining its structure. Through an in-depth analysis of national participations it is possible to study the foreign cultural policy of the various countries, the evolution of a supposedly national art and the local-global contradictions of the contemporary art system. This essay aims to present and analyze some of the projects exhibited in the Spanish pavilion in the first editions of 21 century to demonstrate its utility to discuss the obsolescence or topicality of the national pavilions in Venice and also to treat the ‘biennial phenomenon’, its apparent unstoppability and the trend of the ‘discursive biennials’.
Épigraphie en révolution

Thanks to the manuscript 601 of the médiathèque of Arles, we can reconstruct the epigraphic journey to Vaison by Étienne Dumont in July 1790. His notes and drawings show his method and his practices, helping also to achieve a better description of some lost inscriptions. However, his journey took place at a time of revolution: the social and cultural foundations of erudition in Provence were at a turning point.
Per uno studio dei falsi nel manoscritto inglese di Jacopo Valvasone di Maniago (1499-1570)
Authors: Mainardis Fulvia
Published: February 2020

This paper aims to reconsider the manuscript by Jacopo Valvasone (1499-1570), formerly owned by the Earl of Leicester (now British Library, Additional MS 49369), which Theodor Mommsen borrowed and inspected in 1876, just before the publication of the second part of CIL V. In the letter that he wrote to thank the Vicar and Librarian of Halkham Hall, Mommsen declared that Valvasone joined “the the long list of forgers”. The analysis of forgeries in Valvasone’s manuscript could show whether Mommsen was right in his opinion.

This paper deals with an instructive example of documentary falsification concerning cities and their history in the Marche. Epigraphic forgeries, which normally appear on paper, are objects of invention. They propose the celebration of a city for its ancient origin, the historical events around it, the descent from illustrious Roman figures, and celebrate local families, putting forward accounts of the origin of toponyms and institutions.
I falsi epigrafici di Giuseppe Francesco Meyranesio
Authors: Pettirossi Viviana
Published: February 2020

The fake inscriptions forged on paper by Giuseppe Francesco Meyranesio (1729-63) occupy large space in the chapter devoted to Ligurian and Piedmontese falsae within the fifth volume of the CIL, and include over 100 documents. Investigating these forgeries aims at establishing Meyranesio’s method of production. In particular, this research includes the identification of the models, from which he drew inspiration to elaborate his texts and some related aspects: the criteria adopted in the selection and use of archetypes; the printed works, which the forger consulted for this purpose and which were to be easily found in the libraries of the seminaries of the Savoy part of Piedmont. In fact, Meyranesio spent his existence as a priest between Pietraporzio and Sambuco, two mountain villages of the Valle Stura.

Authors: Serra Silvana Valeria , Buonanotte Federico , Frankel Lilian , Brizuela Mónica , Serra Mariel , Soria Elio Andres
Published: February 2020

Aims. Companies use non-native language as a service tool, and they may incur in occupational psychosocial risks. Interlanguage can be chronic under poor communicative situations, leading to fossilization. It could be an adverse effect because of its impact in productivity and occupational health. Thus, our aim was to establish factors of this psychosocial risk.
Methods. 348 information and communication technologists (ICT) were analyzed. They were native Spanish speakers with normal hearing, and used English as a work tool. Age, gender, L2 stages and errors were recorded in relation to fossilization risk. Statistical methods were applied for categorical data (p<0.05).
Results. After gender and age adjustments, a significant inverse association was found between L2 stages and fossilization risk (p<0.0001), with higher risk being in the acquisition stage. Also, L2 errors showed a significant direct relation with fossilization risk (p=0.0005).
Conclusions. Summing up, ICT in acquisition L2 had upper psychosocial risk to fossilization with mechanistic execution of it, under poorer communicative formats. This results have high sanitary impact given they involved a massively demanded professionals.
The authentic leader in the neoliberal times-Development, identity dominance and the politics of “doing” in India
Authors: Sinha Chetan
Published: February 2020

What is the future of right-wing politics in India? Is
India as a nation laden in the cultural foundation of conservatism and purity
or it is a diversity moulded through the power of right-wing into a singular
cultural system? The recent crises of right-wing politics in India founded in
the new politics of social change where the historical oppression of diverse
groups based on social class, religion, gender and caste has been politicized with new meaning under the
garb of ‘doing’ development, cultural revivalism and the discourses of
neoliberalism. Present research attempt
to understand how the social identity of an authentic leader is shaped by the
global neoliberal values and in what way the preference of authentic leaders by
the group is moderated by the social class mobility and change. Also, some of
the systematic attacks on the freedom of universities gave rise to students’
politics and movements with new vocabularies of resistance and leadership. It
is need of the time to understand the leaders conscious ‘doing’ and conscious
‘not doing’, constructing the meaning of a nation in a different way or
limiting it.

Published: February 2020

In previous work, researchers in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) have demonstrated that user trust in robots depends on effective and transparent communication. This may be particularly true for robots used for transportation, due to user reliance on such robots for physical movement and safety. In this paper, we present the design of an experiment examining the importance of proactive communication by robotic wheelchairs, as compared to non-vehicular mobile robots, within a Virtual Reality (VR) environment. Furthermore, we describe the specific advantages -- and limitations -- of conducting this type of HRI experiment in VR.

Dead wood is a key forest structural component for maintaining biodiversity and storing carbon. Despite its important role in a forest ecosystem, quantifying dead wood alongside standing trees has often neglected when investigating the feasibility of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) in forest inventories. The objective of this study was therefore to develop an automatic method for detecting and characterizing downed dead wood.

Authors: Oducado Ryan Michael Flores , Sotelo Marianne G. , Ramirez Liza Marie M. , Habaña Maylin P. , Belo-Delariarte Rosana Grace
Published: February 2020

Past researches have shown that various factors influence students’ success in nursing school and the Nurse Licensure Examination (NLE). Such factors should be studied as foundations of the nursing programs. Problems with proficiency in the language used by the instructor to teach curricular courses may be considered a barrier to effective learning and academic success. This study ascertained the influence of English language proficiency to the academic performance of students in professional nursing courses and the NLE. This study employed a retrospective descriptive correlational study design. Secondary analysis of data sets of 141 nursing students in one nursing school in the Philippines was performed. Pearson’s r was used to determine the correlation between variables. Findings showed that there were significant correlations between academic performance and the Verbal Ability subscale of the Nursing Aptitude Test (p=.003) and the three English courses included in the nursing curriculum (p=.000). There were also significant correlations between the NLE ratings and Verbal Ability (p=.000) and the three English courses (p=.000). English language proficiency is an important factor in determining academic and licensure success of nursing students. Nursing schools must ensure that approaches in improving students’ English language proficiency must be well integrated into the undergraduate nursing program.

Functional Features of Forensic Corruption Case in Indonesia
The General Factor of Psychopathology
Authors: Smith Gregory T. , Atkinson Emily , Davis Heather A. , Riley Elizabeth N. , Oltmanns Joshua R.
Published: February 2020

An important advance in understanding and defining mental disorders has been to take empirical approaches to mapping dimensions of dysfunction and their inter-relatedness. Such empirical approaches have consistently observed intercorrelations among the many forms of psychopathology, leading to the identification of a general factor of psychopathology (p). In this article, we review empirical support for p, including evidence for the stability and criterion validity of p. Further, we discuss the strong relationship between p and general factors of personality (GFP) and personality disorders (g-PD), substantive interpretations of p, and the potential clinical utility of p. We posit that proposed substantive interpretations of p do not explain the full range of symptomatology typically included in p. The most plausible explanation is that p represents an index of impairment that has the potential to inform the duration and intensity of a client’s mental health treatment.
Navigating the social world: Shared horizontal and vertical evaluative dimensions
Authors: Abele-Brehm Andrea , Ellemers Naomi , Fiske Susan , Koch Alex , Yzerbyt Vincent
Published: February 2020

Social evaluation occurs at personal, interpersonal, group, and intergroup levels, with competing theories and evidence. Five models engage in adversarial collaboration, to identify common conceptual ground, ongoing controversies, and continuing agendas: Dual Perspective Model (Abele & Wojciszke, 2007); Behavioral Regulation Model (Leach et al., 2007); Dimensional Compensation Model (Yzerbyt et al., 2005); Stereotype Content Model (Fiske et al., 2002); and Agency-Beliefs-Communion Model (Koch et al., 2016). Each has distinctive focus, theoretical roots, premises, and evidence. Controversies dispute dimensions: number, organization, definition, and labeling; their relative priority; and their relationship. Our first integration suggests two fundamental dimensions: Vertical (agency, competence, “getting ahead”) and Horizontal (communion, warmth, “getting along”), with respective facets of ability and assertiveness (Vertical) and friendliness and morality (Horizontal). Depending on context, a third dimension is conservative versus progressive Beliefs. Second, different criteria for priority favor different dimensions: processing speed and subjective weight (Horizontal); pragmatic diagnosticity (Vertical); moderators include number and type of target, target-perceiver relationship, context. Finally, the relation between dimensions has similar operational moderators. As an integrative framework, the dimensions’ dynamics also depend on perceiver goals (comprehension, efficiency, harmony, compatibility), each balancing top-down and bottom-up processed, for epistemic or hedonic functions. One emerging insight is that the nature and number of targets each of these models typically examines alters perceivers’ evaluative goal, and how bottom-up information or top-down inferences interact. This framework benefits theoretical parsimony and new research.
Holistic Causal Learning with Causal Graphs: A Credible Method for Study Design and Preregistration in the Social Sciences
Authors: Kubinec Robert
Published: February 2020

While research designs in the social sciences have employed increasingly sophisticated methods to control false positive rates, there is still substantial debate about the merit of pre-registration and other recent open science reforms. In this paper, I present a method for preregistering causal graphs and employing the metric of entropy, and in particular Jaynes' theory of maximum entropy, to propose a holistic way of measuring the contribution of a research study. To demonstrate the method's utility, I show how recent research in both COVID-19 and political authoritarianism can be fruitfully understood using causal graphs and entropy. Additionally, I provide R code to enable researchers to compute these metrics, helping them prepare for various outcomes and learning approaches for the purpose of preregistration.
Asymmetric Social Comparison and Life Satisfaction in Social Networks
Authors: Olivos Francisco , Olivos-Jara Pablo , Browne Magdalena
Published: February 2020

The aim of this study is to understand the effect of asymmetric social comparison on subjective well-being, and how it differs due to reciprocity. Our approach considers the social network of individuals as a local reference group. We tested competing hypotheses on negative and positive effects of comparison with worse-off (downward) and better-off (upward) targets with a representative sample of 1,596 Chileans over the age of 18. The findings support that life satisfaction is influenced by social comparison. By considering the social network as a reference group, the positive effect of downward comparison and the negative effect of upward comparison are confirmed. Upward comparison seems to be more substantial than downward comparison. Additionally, the positive effect of downward comparison decreases slightly with a reciprocal exchange of support between respondents and targets. The application of social network analysis opens a path to understanding the mechanisms underlying social comparison processes.

Authors: Maharjan Rajendra
Published: February 2020

This paper aims to examine the effect of corporate governance practice on financial performance of insurance companies in Nepal. The study used board size, number of board meetings, CEO duality, Audit committee are the explanatory variables for corporate governance. Firm size and age of the firms are considered as control variables. The dependent variable performance has been measured using Return on Assets (ROA) and return on equity ROE. The study employed descriptive cum causal relational research design. All the 23 listed insurance companies are considered as the population of the study. Only 18 insurance companies (13 non-life and 5 life) is taken as sample based on availability of data representing 78.26 % sample. The secondary data of profitability has been extracted from annual report of the company. The explanatory variables related to corporate governance has been collected through structured survey questionnaire. The study period accounts for the eight years from 2011 to 2018 with 141 firm year observations. Data has been analyzed using a multiple linear regression model.

The study concludes that there exists strong relationship between the corporate governance practices and firms’ performance. The board meeting and audit committee were found to positively affect the financial performance of insurance companies. Board size is found to be negative but not significant. The study also concludes CEO duality has the negative impact on the performance of the insurance company. Firm with large in size with high board meeting tend to perform well. Age of the company also positively influenced on the financial performance of insurance companies in Nepal.

Published: February 2020

Background: The sub-carinal angle is an angle formed between the main right bronchus and leftbronchus clearly seen in adequately exposed chest radiograph, normally at the level of 5th thoracicvertebrae.

Objective: To measure sub-carinal angle in relationship to different age, sex and body mass index inthe adult.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Radio diagnosis and Imaging at BPKIHS, Dharan from 27th April to 6th August 2017. Sub-carinal angle was measured on the normal chest radiograph in 392 adult patients. The data were analyzed using SPSS Version 11.5 and descriptive statistics percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation were calculated. For inferential statistics, Independent ‘t’ test and Pearson’s correlation were applied.

Results: The sub-carinal angle ranged from 39°- 81.1° with mean value 60.17°+7.81°. The mean subcarinalangle for the male was 59.17°+8.19° and for female was 60.62°+7.49°. The mean sub-carinalangle was wider in female than male in our study; however, the difference in sub-carinal angle between male and female was statistically not significant (p> 0.05). There was negative correlationbetween sub-carinal angle and age (r= -0.168, p <0.01). The sub-carinal angle was positivelycorrelated with BMI (r= 0.100, p< 0.05).

Conclusion: In our study, the mean sub-carinal angle was 60.17° ± 7.81°. The mean sub-carinal angle difference between male and female was statistically non-significant. There was negative correlation of sub-carinal angle with age and positive correlation with BMI. The reference value obtained from this study will be helpful to diagnose abnormal sub-carinal angle due to various pathologies.

Purpose: This study has attempted to assess the profile and treatment outcome of patients with OSSN and report the recurrence rate following treatment of primary OSSN.

Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective, non-comparative hospital based observational study. The case files of OSSN patients from Jan 2010 to Dec 2017were assessed. The study site was Himalaya Eye Hospital, Gharipatan, Pokhara. This hospital is the only eye hospital in province 4, Nepal. All the files of suspicious cases of conjunctival mass or OSSN were reviewed. Data regarding demographic characteristics, vision acuity, involved eye, clinical features, conjunctival lesion type, duration of symptoms, preoperative clinical diagnosis, history, other eye disease, associated systemic diseases, occupation as well as treatment modalities of the patients and its outcome were taken.

Results: Out of 40 cases, females were 21(52.5%) vesus 19(47.5%) male. Amongthem, 19 patients had keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, 17 had conjunctiva intraepithelial squamous neoplasia and 4 had invasive squalors cell carcinoma. Predominance age group was 15-59 age (25/40, 62.5%), among which 12 had keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, 11 conjunctival intraepithelial squamousneoplasia and 2 had invasive squamous cell carcinoma conjunctival lesion. The mean duration of symptoms was about nine months (S.D. = 5.972). The mean size of lesion mass was 3.28 mm (SD=1.569). More than half of the cases (55%, 22/40) had the mass located at nasal limbus. 95% (38/40) cases underwent lesion total excision and direct closure and 5% (2/40) underwent lesion excision followed by Amniotic Membrane grafting. Only 5% (2/40) cases, those who had undergone lesion excision, the lesion recurrence was observed during follow up period of 31 months.

Conclusion: The outcome of the OSSN following the treatment was found to be satisfactory. Further studies with prolonged follow-up are recommended to evaluate the risk of recurrence and other adverse effects.

Published: February 2020

Background: Evisceration and nucleation are commonly performed ophthalmic surgeries for painful blind eye, disfiguring blind eye, endophthalmitis etc. After both these surgeries it is important to replace the lost volume in the orbit with implant. Implant is associated with many complications such as major discharge, exposure with discharge and implant exposure. The main surgical management of implant exposures basically primary revision or patch grafting with or without removal of the implant.

Case: A 60 years old man presented to ophthalmic OPD with complaint of foreign body sensation and irritation in left eye. There was history of evisceration with silicon ball implant in left eye done one month back for painful blind eye at another hospital. On ophthalmic examination, there was a 3 × 4 mm of implant exposure most probably dueto tight closure. As per records the size of implant was 22mm. The patient was planned for extra-ocular myoplasty with buccal mucosal graft under general anesthesia.

Observation: After sterile prepping and draping, 360˚ degrees peritomy was performed and care was taken to dissect between tenons and orbital implant. Medialand lateral recti were isolated and dissected upto 10-12mm from insertion site. Both the recti were secured with 6-0 vicryl suture and were detached from their respective insertions, advanced and approximated over the site of implant exposure. Thus the exposed implant was covered with a vascularized base which was reinforced with amucosal graft harvested from the buccal mucosa and secured with absorbable sutures. After 1 year of follow up patient was asymptomatic.

Conclusion: Extraocular myoplasty with buccal mucosal graft is a good surgical remedy for orbital implant exposure implant.

Published: February 2020

Istraživana je morfološka varijabilnost lista 25 populacija klena (Acer campestre L.) na području Bosne i Hercegovine. Morfometrijsko istraživanje unutarpopulacijske i međupopulacijske varijabilnosti provedeno je na temelju 19 morfoloških svojstava lista, pri čemu su korištene deskriptivne i univarijatne statističke analize. Najveću varijabilnost pokazalo je svojstvo dužina peteljke lista, dok je najmanja varijabilnost utvrđena kod izvedenog svojstva odnos maksimalne dužine plojke lista i maksimalne širine plojke lista. Izvedena svojstva lista bila su manje varijabilna od mjernih, što upućuje na manje variranje svojstava oblika u odnosu na svojstva dimenzija lista. Analiza varijance pokazala je statistički značajne razlike između populacija za sva analizirana svojstva lista. Multipla testiranja pokazala su veću međupopulacijsku nego unutarpopulacijsku varijabilnost za sva istraživana svojstva osim dva svojstva geometrijske skale podataka (kutovi žila). Za razliku od mjerenih svojstava lista, sva izvedena svojstva pokazala su veću unutarpopulacijsku nego međupopulacijsku varijabilnost. Najdivergentnija populacija, s jedne strane, bila je populacija Trebinje, s najvećim brojem minimalnih vrijednosti svojstava lista, dok je s druge strane najdivergentnija populacija Banja Luka, s najvećim brojem maksimalnih vrijednosti svojstava lista. Dobiveni rezultati mogu služiti kao temelj za dalja istraživanja u drugim dijelovima areala vrste, u svrhu determiniranja utjecaja interakcije ekoloških, geografskih, klimatskih i migracijskih čimbenika na morfološku varijabilnost populacija klena.
Racial Microaggressions and Racial Battle Fatigue: Work-Life Experiences of Black School Principals
Authors: Krull Melissa , Robicheau Jerry
Published: February 2020

In this study, quantitative descriptive and qualitative phenomenological design are used to interpret survey data from the lived experiences of Black school principals ( n = 39) who have self-identified as recipients of racial microaggressions ( Pierce, 1970 ; Sue, 2010 ) and feeling racial battle fatigue ( Smith, 2004 ). Participants suggested that they persistently experienced racial microinsults and microinvalidations, resulting in their self-doubt, exhaustion, and feeling offended. Racial battle fatigue data also show significant psychological stress responses resulting in isolation, fatigue, and sleeplessness. The coping mechanisms used included a reliance on personal spirituality, choosing racial affinity, and self-silencing. Perceived effects on their ability to lead effectively as a result are described, and recommendations for responding to resulting workplace hostility and employer obligations are discussed.
