Identidades internacionais e política externa brasileira: analisando discursos de PEB durante os governos lula (2003–2010) no contexto de paz e segurança no oriente médio
Authors: Souza Jéser Abílio de
Published: October 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender as identidades internacionais do Brasil constituídas e representadas por meio dos discursos de política externa brasileira, durante os governos Lula (2003–2010). Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa-interpretativa, que se pautou na aplicação de uma análise do discurso a partir da temática da paz e segurança no Oriente Médio. O método escolhido combinou na operacionalização de categorias linguístico-discursivas extraídas de Dominique Maingueneau (2016) com sua Semântica Global. Por meio da aplicação do dispositivo analítico, identificou-se um sistema de significação operado pelos discursos que deslocaram textualmente as posições do Estado no espaço discursivo, ao passo que relações de diferenças foram representadas. Reconhece-se um conjunto de práticas representacionais, como a aproximação e diferenciação de espacialidades, a mobilização de afetos, a instauração de polêmica, a utilização de nomes próprios, o estabelecimento de ligações intertextuais com cenas temporais, entre outras. Concluiu-se que, as identidades internacionais do Brasil, de pacífico e de interlocutor entre povos, conduziram e justificaram o Estado no sistema internacional através de posições de poder.

Authors: Schmidt-Brasse Ute
Published: October 2023

As a means of differentiation, after some words on the role of discussant, the paper presents the concept of “Civilisational competence” (Piotr Sztompka 1993; Frane Adam, 2005). As a background the paper uses four components of civilisational competence: a) work and vocational ethic; b) capacitiy and motivation for collective action and selforganisation; c) internalisation of formal-legal and bureaucratic discipline; and d) basic functional knowledge. The paper highlights furthering and detrimental aspects for Work and Organizational Psychology (WOP) from literature and experience and then looks for examples for these aspects in the presentations of this symposium before inviting the audience for discussion.

Developing a model of non-technical competences for engineers
Authors: Parts Velli , Teichmann Mare
Published: October 2023

Current paper focuses on the question “What are the non-technical competences (NTC) needed for engineering professional work?” Based on theoretical study we draw a heuristic model of NTC for engineers and test it empirically. There are six domains of NTC for engineers: a) Professional ethics competences; b) Personal competences; c) Interpersonal competences; d) Leadership, management, and administrative competences; e) Innovation and entrepreneurial competences; and f) Law and legal system competences. Analysing the correspondence between NTC use in everyday professional work, and NTC competences developed in university study indicated several gaps. Supporting engineers’ Personal competences up to the highest level is especially important as these are used on a daily basis. Young engineers entering the workforce also need extra training to develop their Inter­personal competences.
Building employee resilience: The impact of a workplace training seminar series designed to enhance positive psychological capabilities
Authors: Knox-Haly Martha , Bednall Timothy C. , Walker Fay
Published: October 2023

Psychological resilience refers to the ability to respond adaptively. Although originally studied in the context of childhood trauma, resilience also appears to have benefits for employees. We investigate the impact of a structured workplace training programme building positive psychological capabilities (mindfulness, psychological flexibility, social support, time management, courage, optimism and mental toughness) believed to be associated with resilience. Forty-three local government employees participated in a seven-week seminar programme. Resilience was measured before, during and after the seminar series. Following the seminar series, resilience, mindfulness, and psychological flexibility increased. We conclude that employees could benefit through relatively short, inexpensive resource-based interventions around psychological resilience.

Workplace mindfulness inventions: What are the benefits, when are they appropriate, and how can organizations optimise the transfer of training?
Authors: Ingram Leanne
Published: October 2023

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is now frequently offered as a stress management intervention in the workplace. The academic evaluation of workplace mindfulness interventions is a small but growing area of research, highlighting the potential benefits to both the individuals and organizations who take part. This article will use the existing literature to focus on key outcomes of mindfulness training from the perspective of the individual and the organization. Suggestions will be made of contexts where mindfulness training may not be appropriate, and of ways that an organization providing this training for their staff might facilitate the process and therefore maximise the benefits.

The Price of Explainability in Machine Learning Models for 100-Day Readmission Prediction in Heart Failure: Retrospective, Comparative, Machine Learning Study
Authors: Soliman Amira , Agvall Björn , Etminani Kobra , Hamed Omar , Lingman Markus
Published: October 2023

Background

Sensitive and interpretable machine learning (ML) models can provide valuable assistance to clinicians in managing patients with heart failure (HF) at discharge by identifying individual factors associated with a high risk of readmission. In this cohort study, we delve into the factors driving the potential utility of classification models as decision support tools for predicting readmissions in patients with HF.

Objective

The primary objective of this study is to assess the trade-off between using deep learning (DL) and traditional ML models to identify the risk of 100-day readmissions in patients with HF. Additionally, the study aims to provide explanations for the model predictions by highlighting important features both on a global scale across the patient cohort and on a local level for individual patients.

Methods

The retrospective data for this study were obtained from the Regional Health Care Information Platform in Region Halland, Sweden. The study cohort consisted of patients diagnosed with HF who were over 40 years old and had been hospitalized at least once between 2017 and 2019. Data analysis encompassed the period from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019. Two ML models were developed and validated to predict 100-day readmissions, with a focus on the explainability of the model’s decisions. These models were built based on decision trees and recurrent neural architecture. Model explainability was obtained using an ML explainer. The predictive performance of these models was compared against 2 risk assessment tools using multiple performance metrics.

Results

The retrospective data set included a total of 15,612 admissions, and within these admissions, readmission occurred in 5597 cases, representing a readmission rate of 35.85%. It is noteworthy that a traditional and explainable model, informed by clinical knowledge, exhibited performance comparable to the DL model and surpassed conventional scoring methods in predicting readmission among patients with HF. The evaluation of predictive model performance was based on commonly used metrics, with an area under the precision-recall curve of 66% for the deep model and 68% for the traditional model on the holdout data set. Importantly, the explanations provided by the traditional model offer actionable insights that have the potential to enhance care planning.

Conclusions

This study found that a widely used deep prediction model did not outperform an explainable ML model when predicting readmissions among patients with HF. The results suggest that model transparency does not necessarily compromise performance, which could facilitate the clinical adoption of such models.

STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS ON THE USE OF GOOGLE CLASSROOM IN LSP LEARNING AND ITS EFFECTS ON DEVELOPING LINGUISTIC COMPETENCES
Authors: Basta Jelena , Pejić Slavica
Published: October 2023

The use of digital technologies is an integral part of teaching and learning languages for specific purposes (LSP), as well as language in general.  Google Classroom represents one of the most popular educational platforms and its application to the teaching and learning process of LSP is inevitable. Since the pandemic of COVID-19 has brought about the shift of entire teaching to the digital sphere, this platform seems to be an acceptable means of achieving intended learning outcomes. Yet, very little research on attitudes of students as end users of the Classroom to its usefulness has been done. The aim of the paper is to analyse the perceptions of the students who attend LSP classes at the Faculty of Economics, University of Niš. The research deals with three aspects – the ease of use and the usefulness of Google Classroom and the effects of the use of Google Classroom on the development of four linguistic competences. The quantitative data were obtained by a survey (with an application of the five-point Likert scale), while the qualitative aspect of the survey was accomplished by means of analysing answers to one open-ended question. The research results point to the fact that majority of respondents have positive attitudes in terms of the ease of use and usefulness of this platform. It can be concluded that Google Classroom represents a very useful teaching and learning tool. It is up to the students to use their own motivation and self-regulation to do their best and reach the maximum of the teaching and learning potential of this platform.

Authors: Raikhanova Danara , Bakić-Mirić Nataša
Published: October 2023

The aim of this research is to develop an outcome-based ESP curriculum for undergraduate chemistry and biology majors utilising the CBL paradigm. The current study aims to explore the effective application of an ESP curriculum linked with outcome-based learning methodologies in scientific education. A mixed-methods design was employed, consisting of a case study scenario in a higher education institution for chemistry and biology students as well as a Likert scale questionnaire to assess their perception of the alignment between the case study activity and learning outcomes. Finally, a factor analysis was conducted to gain insights into the correlation between the case study activity and skill-based outcomes and identify areas where case studies may be particularly effective in promoting ESP learning. The findings suggest that the inclusion of subject-specific scenarios in the ESP curriculum, particularly through case study-based learning, is crucial for chemistry and biology students. Finally,  the study recommends that the ESP curriculum for science students should be designed in alignment with outcome-based learning approaches, where case study-based learning is considered an effective approach to acquiring academic and professional skills.
Air-Pollution Monitoring using IoT
Authors: Negi Shashwat
Published: October 2023

Abstract: The level of pollution has increased due to a lot of factors like the increase in population, commercial vehicles, industrialization and stubble burning which has caused harmful effects on human wellbeing by directly affecting health of population exposed to it. The worst affected by this are the individuals, like traffic police officers, who are required to stay outside breathing the toxic gases and bearing the strong heat to maintain a constant traffic flow and order in society. Studies and surveys show that they suffer from respiratory diseases, photo sensitivity, skin infections, nausea, high blood pressure and many other problems. This research paper presents an innovative way to monitor real-time air quality and collect data to provide insights to local authorities. The ‘Air Pollution Monitoring System’ using Internet of Things will monitor the air quality over a web server using cloud technology and will trigger a alarm when the air quality goes beyond a certain level, meaning there are dangerous amount of harmful gases present in the air like CO2, CO, particulate matter, alcohol, benzene and NH3.Governments and citizens are looking for scientificintellect to challenge the common threat of pollution in its many procedures. Currently mobile apps are capable of accomplishing functions like reporting status of air quality, air quality forecasts, air quality monitoring in a particular area, and risks highlighting. But these applications do not provide the user with data of a local area, where the user is currently located, which will be more beneficial for an individual.
Use of Waste Polythene in Bituminous Concrete Mixes for Highways
Authors: Ashraf Aadil , Thakur Abhilash
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Bituminous Concrete (BC) normally used in construction projects like road surfacing, airports ,parking lots etc is a composite material . It consists of asphalt or bitumen (used as a binder) and mineral aggregate which are mixed together & laid down in layers then compacted. In these days the large increment in high traffic intensity in terms of commercial vehicles, and the compelling variation in daily and seasonal temperature put us in a demanding situation to think of some alternatives for the improvisation of the pavement characteristics and quality by applying some necessary modifications which shall satisfy both the strength as well as economical aspects .Also considering the environmental approach, due to excessive use of polythene in day to day life the pollution to the environment is increased significantly . Since the polythene is non-biodegradable the need of the current hour is to use the waste polythene in some beneficial purposes .This paperpresents a research conducted to analyse the behavior of BC mix modified with waste polythene. Various percentages of polythene are used for preparation of mixes with a selected aggregate grading as given in the IRC Code. By preparing Marshall samples of the concrete mix the role of polythene in bituminous is studied for various engineering properties BC mixtures with and without polymer. Marshall properties such as stability, flow value, unit weight, air voids are used to determine optimum polythene content for the given grade of bitumen (80/100).
The Jurisprudence justification of human dignity

Published: October 2023

人的尊严业已被奉为现代法律的伦理总纲，然而，如何证成人的尊严，则有外在因素与内在论据的差异。外在因素主要是指以人的成就、才干、贡献来论证尊严的存在，然而，这一论证模式忽视了尊严的不可替代性和人的内在价值，并将尊严偷换为“被尊严地对待”。与之相较，从内在依据上来论证人的尊严更为可取。在思想史上，人可自由、人能思想、人具理性、人是目的，都从不同角度阐发了人的尊严的固有性、必然性，特别是康德的人是目的的尊严论证，为法律的正当性与现代人权理论奠定了扎实的理论基础。但是，建立在内在依据上的论证更多地还是把人视为同质的个体，并不能为每个人都应享有尊严提供充分的理论根据。任何个人都是具有独特性的生命存在，是不可替代、复制的法律主体，由此出发来论证人的尊严的成立根据，更能揭示人的尊严的普遍性与正当性。

Published: October 2023

Apresenta-se uma análise do empresariamento da educação, evidenciando as articulações entre Estado capitalista e universo corporativo. A partir dessa estratégia, associando as dimensões políticas e econômicas, produz-se um deslocamento das decisões do campo das instituições públicas para o setor de negócios. Impõem-se na gestão pública padrões do gerencialismo empresarial. Para relocalizar a educação no campo da produção de teorias e práticas críticas, urge superar a ideologia do neoliberalismo responsável pelo agravamento da violência e da guerra civil. Redefinir os rumos da educação supõe lutar pela educação democrática e a superação do capitalismo.

Selada merupakan salah satu jenis tanaman sayuran yang kaya akan kandungan nutrisi. Dengan rasa dan teksturnya yang khas, menjadikan selada sebagai salah satu sayuran primadona dikalangan masyarakat. Pada tahun 2010 produksi selada sebesar 41,11 ton tahun dan menurun pada tahun 2015 yaitu sebesar 39,289 ton tahun-1. Laporan BPS menunjukkan konsumsi selada nasional mencapai 35,9 kg kapita-1 tahun-1. Kebutuhan ini lebih tinggi dari tingkat produksi nasional. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret sampai Mei 2021 di screen house Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Tadulako, Palu, Sulawesi Tengah. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengidentifikasi respon pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman selada terhadap berbagai jenis pupuk organik cair (POC) yang beredar di pasaran. POC yang dicobakan yakni (1) NASA, (2) Super Bionik, (3) Herbafarm, (4) Megarizho dan (5) Urine Sapi dengan dosis masing-masing 3 mll-1. Sebagai Pembanding (0) kontrol tanpa pemberian POC. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jenis POC yang diujikan tidak memberikan pengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi tanaman selada. Namun terdapat kecenderungan perlakuan POC Megarizho (P4) memberikan pengaruh lebih dari POC lainnya yakni tanaman lebih tinggi, daun yang lebih banyak dan luas serta bobot segar tanaman lebih berat.
Examination of the relationship between employment protection regulation and unemployment: Panel case study of countries of the COMESA
Authors: Osmanović Sead , Klaiqi Sabri
Published: October 2023

This paper aims to empirically test the impact of the relationship between the rules concerning the protection of employees and the unemployment rate. The aim is to answer the question of whether there is a positive or negative relationship between stricter employment protection regulation and unemployment, and whether it is statistically significant. The methodology used is from the panel data analysis of the multifactorial regression model with fixed and random effects and the generalized method of moments (GMM) model. Fella (2000) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, 2004), find that any tightening of regulations regarding the protection against individual dismissals of 1 percent, measured through the indicator of the stringency of employment protection — individual dismissals leads to a decrease of unemployment of 1.774 percent. Fujita and Nakajima (2016) point out that the employment rate is procyclical, while the unemployment rate is countercyclical. The research was conducted using secondary data with panel data analysis for 24 countries, 19 of which are current members of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). The results of the endogeneity test show that there are no endogeneity variables (p-values: 0.372, 0.434, and 0.110, retrospectively for the variables scd, sid, and tc).
What are the real drivers behind river restoration projects?

Integrating hydrogeomorphological principles into the restoration of
degraded rivers can achieve sustainable results for a variety of
objectives and human benefits that are consistent with the potential
functioning of rivers as well as their uses. Despite recent management
approaches inspired by these principles, several restoration projects
largely involve controlling river processes and target specific
one-dimensional objectives often associated with the habitat of a few
high-valued fish species or with rivers steadiness and aesthetics.
Although there is overall a lack of post-project monitoring, several
projects appear to have failed or had mixed success. This research aims
to answer the question: What are the real drivers behind river
restoration projects? Four restoration projects in Quebec (Canada) were
characterized through a qualitative research process of support and
interviews with the organizations running them as well as with two
representatives of ministries involved in river restoration and
management. The results identify two major drivers for the formulation
of restoration objectives: project funding and stakeholder expertise. We
propose a new analytical framework including these drivers, which appear
to act as both conditions and motivations guiding the objectives of the
projects and their diversity. Following diverse sociocultural and
legislative contexts shaping these drivers, they may facilitate or
restrict the integration of hydrogeomorphological principles towards
diversified objectives and benefits. This supports regulation that is
better informed by scientific knowledge about hydrogeomorphological and
sociocultural river dynamics, knowledge sharing between academic
researchers and environmental organizations, and collaboration between
stakeholders and communities living around rivers.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most prevalent
malignancy globally, presenting a formidable early diagnostic challenge.
An effective biomarker with high sensitivity and specificity can help
diagnose CRC and improve the chances of successful treatment. Methods:
100 healthy controls and 95 CRC patients( 25 Stage 0/I，30 stage II and
40 stage III based on Clinical stages) were recruited. Subsequently, 195
urine samples were subjected to UPLC-MS analysis. Comparative analysis
was employed to elucidate noteworthy metabolic variances, and pathway
analysis was conducted to unveil perturbed metabolic functions.
Ultimately, metabolic panels for CRC diagnosis were constructed. Result:
A total of 82 metabolites exhibited statistical significance between CRC
patients and healthy controls. Moreover, pathway analysis revealed that
they were associated with Steroid hormone biosynthesis, Nitrogen
metabolism, and D-Glutamine and D-glutamate metabolism. A composite
panel consisting of Retinol, L-β-aspartyl-L-glycine and 21-Deoxycortisol
showed AUCs of 0.933/0.93 in the discovery/validation group. The panel
also showed commendable efficacy in indifferent CRC stages, with an AUC
of 0.918 for stages 0/I, 0.862 for stage II, and 0.845 for stage III.
Conclusions: Urine metabolomecould distinguish CRC from healthy control
and reflect the changes in different stages of CRC. Potential biomarkers
might be developed by targeted metabolomic analysis.
High-angle active conjugate faults in the Anza-Borrego shear zone, Southern California

Published: October 2023

Orientations of active antithetic faults can provide useful constraints
on in situ strength of the seismogenic crust. We use LINSCAN, a new
unsupervised learning algorithm for identifying quasi-linear clusters of
earthquakes, to map small-scale strike-slip faults in the Anza-Borrego
shear zone, Southern California. We identify 332 right- and left-lateral
faults having lengths between 0.1-3 km. The dihedral angles between all
possible pairs of conjugate faults are nearly normally distributed
around 70 degrees, with a standard deviation of 30 degrees. The observed
dihedral angles are larger than those expected assuming optimal fault
orientations and the coefficient of friction of 0.6-0.8, but similar to
the distribution previously reported for the Ridgecrest area in the
Eastern California Shear Zone. We show that the observed fault
orientations can be explained by fault rotation away from the principal
shortening axis due to a cumulated tectonic strain.
Monitoring velocity change over 20 years at Parkfield
Authors: Okubo Kurama , Delbridge Brent G. , Denolle Marine
Published: October 2023

We monitored the time history of the velocity change (dv/v) from 2002 to
2022 to investigate temporal changes in the physical state near the
Parkfield Region of the San Andreas Fault throughout the interseismic
period. Following the coseismic decrease in dv/v caused due to the 2003
San Simeon and the 2004 Parkfield earthquakes, the dv/v heals
logarithmically and shows a net long-term increase in which the current
dv/v level is equivalent to, or exceeding, the value before the 2003 San
Simeon earthquake. We investigated this long-term trend by fitting the
model accounting for the environmental and coseismic effects to the
channel-weighted dv/v time series. We confirmed with the metrics of AIC
and BIC that the additional term of either a linear trend term, or a
residual healing term for the case where the healing had not been
completed before the San Simeon earthquake occurred, robustly improved
the fit to the data. We eventually evaluated the sensitivity of the dv/v
time history to the GNSS-derived strain field around the fault. The
cumulative dilatational strain spatially averaged around the seismic
stations shows a slight extension, which is opposite to what would be
expected for an increase in dv/v. However, the cumulative rotated axial
strain shows compression in a range near the maximum contractional
horizontal strain (azimuth of N35°W to N45°E), suggesting that the
closing of pre-existing microcracks aligned perpendicular to the axial
contractional strains would be a candidate to cause the long-term
increase observed in the multiple station pairs.
