Social and Ethical Implications of Digital Crisis Technologies: Case Study of Pandemic Simulation Models During the COVID-19 Pandemic (Preprint)
Authors: Bartl Gabriel
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND

Responses to public health crises are increasingly technological in nature, as the prominence of COVID-19–related statistics and simulations amply demonstrates. However, the use of technologies is preconditional and has various implications. These implications can not only affect acceptance but also challenge the acceptability of these technologies with regard to the ethical and normative dimension.

OBJECTIVE

This study focuses on pandemic simulation models as algorithmic governance tools that played a central role in political decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic. To assess the social implications of pandemic simulation models, the premises of data collection, sorting, and evaluation must be disclosed and reflected upon. Consequently, the social construction principles of digital health technologies must be revealed and examined for their effects with regard to social, ethical, and ultimately political issues.

METHODS

This case study starts with a systematization of different simulation approaches to create a typology of pandemic simulation models. On the basis of this, various properties, functions, and challenges of these simulation models are revealed and discussed in detail from a socioscientific point of view.

RESULTS

The typology of pandemic simulation methods reveals the diversity of model-driven handling of pandemic threats. However, it is reasonable to assume that the use of simulation models could increasingly shift toward agent-based or artificial intelligence models in the future, thus promoting the logic of algorithmic decision-making in response to public health crises. As algorithmic decision-making focuses more on predicting future dynamics than statistical practices of assessing pandemic events, this study discusses this development in detail, resulting in an operationalized overview of the key social and ethical issues related to pandemic crisis technologies.

CONCLUSIONS

This study identifies 3 major recommendations for the future of pandemic crisis technologies.

Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar a influência dos fatores sociodemográficos na mortalidade materna no estado da Bahia e identificar seus fatores de risco, para que sejam implantadas melhorias na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Foi realizado um estudo quantitativo, transversal e descritivo com dados secundários, coletados no período de fevereiro a junho de 2020 por meio do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (Datasus). A população do estudo foi composta por todas as mulheres de faixa etária entre 10 e 49 anos que morreram durante a gravidez, parto ou puerpério, no período de 2007 a 2017. Foram estudadas as variáveis qualitativas escolaridade, estado civil, cor/raça e a variável quantitativa idade. Na análise dos dados, foram usadas a razão de mortalidade materna para calcular a variável quantitativa e as taxas de distribuição percentual para calcular as variáveis qualitativas. De acordo com a análise deste estudo, foi possível perceber que os óbitos maternos foram mais prevalentes em mulheres entre 40 e 49 anos, solteiras, com quatro a 11 anos de escolaridade e pardas. Assim, pode-se concluir que, a fim de reduzir a mortalidade materna na Bahia, são necessárias ações governamentais mais amplas e articuladas, para que ocorram mudanças efetivas no atual modelo assistencial de atenção obstétrica.

Published: January 2023

O aumento do excesso de peso e obesidade em crianças e adolescentes está ligado ao crescente número de casos de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a influência do nível de atividade física na prevalência de excesso de peso em adolescentes escolares. Trata-se de uma pesquisa transversal com abordagem quantitativa, com cinquenta escolares de ambos os sexos, na faixa etária entre 15 anos e 18 anos. O instrumento que avaliou o nível de atividade física baseou-se em questionário de um estudo prévio, além de avaliação antropométrica. Para análise estatística, utilizou-se um banco de dados eletrônico elaborado (Excel). Para verificar as diferenças entre os sexos dos grupos, foi realizado o teste t não pareado, considerando significativos os valores em que p < 0,05. Não houve diferença estatística significativa entre os sexos em relação à idade cronológica (p = 0,36858), mas houve entre a estatura dos indivíduos (p = 0,00006). Os valores referentes ao peso foram 55,5 ± 8,7 kg. No que diz respeito ao diagnóstico de Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC)/idade, observaram-se dois indivíduos com baixo peso (4%), 46 classificados como adequados ou eutróficos (92%) e dois com sobrepeso (4%). Quanto ao nível de atividade física, dos cinquenta adolescentes, 16 foram classificados como inativos (32%), sete como inadequadamente ativos (14%) e 27 ativos (54%). Conclui-se que os níveis de sobrepeso/obesidade não prevaleceram entre os adolescentes, sendo em sua maioria classificados com peso adequado ou eutrófico.
Study on the Improvement of the Result-based Organic Certification System
Authors:   Journal of Law research, Kim Eun-Jin
Published: January 2023

Interest in eco-friendly agriculture, which began to spread after the pesticide egg incident in 2017, has developed into an essential question in the certification system in 2022. When the eco-friendly agriculture certification system was introduced in the early 2000s, the certification mark itself was the criterion for confidence in the safety of agricultural products, but now the certification system itself is being challenged.
Certified farmers began to discuss the burden of the certification system, and consumers began to discuss that certification alone was not enough. The discussion has gradually grown to point out the problems of the certification system itself, and the consensus among producers, farmers and consumers to resolve them is being formed.
The certification system has been implemented for the past 20 years in terms of labeling management for certified agricultural products. The emphasis was on which agricultural products to be labeled, so it was a material-based certification system that focused on whether or not the soil and water used in the cultivation process were contaminated based on the agricultural product, which is the final product. However, discussions began to shift to ‘process-based certification’ that focuses on who, in what environment, and how the agricultural products were grown from ‘result-based certification’ that relies on these test analysis results.
However, what can be easily overlooked in ‘result-based certification’ or ‘process-based certification’ is the reason for doing ‘organic farming’. Organic farming has value as an alternative to overcome the current crisis, climate crisis, and food crisis in order for humans to continue to the next generation. Therefore, it is time to restore ‘organic agriculture’ in its true meaning through the method of restoring the relationship between humans and nature and cooperation between humans.
A Comparative Study on the Regulation of Alternative Food Labeling Advertising: Status and Regulation of Alternative Food in the US and the EU
Authors:   Journal of Law research, Lee Joo-Hyoung , Jeon Hong-Jun
Published: January 2023

As more and more people do not consume animal ingredients for various reasons such as environmental sustainability, animal welfare, and religious beliefs, “alternative foods” that can supplement nutrients that may be lacking for these people are drawing attention. The term “alternative food” means food manufactured and processed to have a similar taste and texture to existing food by replacing animal-based materials with other ingredients. The alternative food currently on sale only aims to replace existing food, and there are no safety problems because it uses raw materials that have been recognized for safety.
These alternative foods have grown through publicity and advertising using meat labeling, such as meat, milk, or cooking names(tteokgalbi, bulgogi, etc.). However, controversy over the labeling of alternative foods has arisen around the world as the traditional livestock industry has claimed the use of meat labeling for alternative foods.
In the United States, there are no federal-level alternative food labeling laws, so the state government allows, prohibits, or waits for meat labeling of alternative foods depending on the state's major industries. In states where the state law prohibits meat labeling of alternative foods, lawsuits are continuing between alternative food companies that oppose it. At the EU level, dairy labeling of alternative foods has been banned following the ruling of the EU Court of Justice, and discussions on whether alternative foods are allowed to be labeled with meat continue.
The common issue of meat labeling in alternative foods is largely identified in two ways. The first is the question of whether it is reasonable to use meat labeling because alternative foods do not use meat in the traditional sense, so they are not included in the legal scope of meat, dairy products, and meat processed products. The second is whether the use of these markings on foods that do not contain any traditional meat or milk leads to misunderstanding and confusion among consumers. EU and US precedents take conflicting positions on each issue.
In order to prevent large-scale disputes such as those that occurred in the United States and the EU, alternative food labeling standards that take into account the average perception of the general public in society should be prepared. In addition, even if standards that take into account the perception of the general public are prepared, measures should be sought to reduce the possibility of misunderstanding and confusion as much as possible.
Medical Contract
Authors:   Journal of Law research, Song Young-Min
Published: January 2023

This paper reviewed the legal nature of medical contracts and the legislative method of medical contracts by reviewing the problems arising in the process of establishing, implementing, and terminating medical contracts in relation to delegation contracts under civil law.
In general, non-typical contracts can be divided into ①completely newly created, ②similar to a typical contract, but they are deformed beyond acceptance as a typical contract, and ③the specificity of the contract needs to be discussed.
Delegation contracts and medical contracts have a common purpose of handling affairs, but there are differences in essential aspects between delegation provisions under the Civil Act for the purpose of handling property affairs and medical contracts accompanied by invasion of human life or body.
Therefore, the norms of delegation contracts are rarely actually applied to medical contracts, or there are cases where there is partial intervention in public law, but there are cases where they have theoretical continuity.
However, in the essential elements of both contracts, medical contracts have their own characteristics independent of delegation contracts. Medical contracts are not completely newly created or modified to the point that they cannot be included in a typical contract. Therefore, it should be said that it is a type that needs to be discussed in the delegation contract. In other words, it should be said that delegation contracts and medical contracts have a relative relationship between general types and special types, abstract types and specific types, or basic types and subtypes.
Even if medical contracts are subordinate to delegation contracts, the difference between delegation contracts and medical contracts should be seen as larger than non-typical contracts (franchise contracts, etc.) in the form of different office processes theoretically and practically.
Since medical contracts are basically based on the rules of human life and body invasion, they should be considered to have a significant difference from the civil law's delegation regulations governing property management. If so, it should be seen that there is a characteristic that cannot be solved by a delegation contract under civil law and a new type of typical contract under civil law.
Civil law discussions on the obligations of doctors and patients arising from medical contracts are still in a fluid state. The Civil Code established the basic framework of contracts between individuals.
It is not appropriate to incorporate medical contracts with strong public legal elements within these civil codes. As for the legislative form of medical contracts, it is considered reasonable to enact civil special law specializing in medical contracts.
Cloud Macro-and Microphysical Properties as Coupled to Sea Ice Leads During the MOSAiC Expedition
Authors: Garfias Pablo Saavedra , Kalesse-Los Heike , Albedyll Luisa Von , Griesche Hannes , Spreen Gunnar
Published: January 2023

This study presents the micro- and macrophysical cloud properties as a
function of their surface coupling state with the sea ice during the
wintertime of the MOSAiC field experiment. Cloud properties such as
cloud base height, liquid- and ice water content have been previously
found to have statistically distinguished features under the presence of
sea ice leads (characterized by sea ice concentration, SIC) along
downwind direction from the central observatory RV  Polarstern. Those
findings are mainly in an increase of liquid water content, and favored
occurrence of low level clouds as contrasted to situations when the
clouds are thermodynamically decoupled.

The present contribution is an update considering two recent
developments in the liquid detection in clouds and in the detection of
sea ice leads. First, radar and lidar-based cloud droplet detection
approaches like Cloudnet (Illingworth et al. 2007, Tukiainen et al.
2020) using Arctic wintertime observations and applied to measurements
by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement mobile facility (ARM)
instrumental suite on-board the RV Polarstern during  MOSAiC.

Secondly, we explore a new sea ice lead fraction product based on sea
ice divergence. Sea ice divergence is estimated from sequential images
of space-borne synthetic aperture radar with a spatial resolution of 700
m. The lead divergence product, being independent of cloud coverage,
offers the unique advantage to detect opening leads at high spatial
resolution.

Statistics for the wintertime cloud properties based on the coupling
state with the sea ice concentration and sea ice lead fraction will be
presented as an approach to study Arctic clouds and their interaction
with sea ice.

Authors: Li Fei , Li Chun-Xiang , He Hui-Lan , Yang Ben-Gao , Lu Jing-Li
Published: January 2023

Granite is the main carrier of geothermal energy of hot dry rock. Therefore, the study of influence of different temperatures on the physical-mechanical properties and energy evolution characteristics of granite after high temperature treatment is an important way to guide the successful exploitation of hot dry rock geothermal resources. Physical tests and uniaxial compression tests were carried out on granite after high temperature treatment ranging from 25-350?C. The results show that change rates in volume, mass, density, P-wave velocity and porosity of granite increase with increasing temperature. The research results can provide basic data support for the safe and efficient development of hot dry rock in China, and also develop the theory of high temperature rock mechanics.

OBJECTIVE

To determine C-peptide measures and levels associated with positive glycemic control outcomes following islet transplantation (ITx) in type 1 diabetes.

 RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We evaluated Collaborative Islet Transplant Registry (CITR) Islet-Alone recipients with pre-transplant C-peptide <0.1 nmol/L and mean follow up of 4.6±1.1 years (n=677). Area under the curve of receiver-operator characteristics (ROC-AUC) were used to evaluate predictive value of fasting and stimulated glucose and C-peptide measures for 7 primary outcomes: a) absence of severe hypoglycemic events (ASHE); b) HbA1c<7.0%; c) HbA1c<7.0% & ASHE; d) HbA1c≤6.5%; e) HbA1c≤6.5% & ASHE; f) insulin independence; and g) ASHE, HbA1c≤6.5% & insulin independence (the optimal outcome). Measures with the highest ROC-AUC were selected for determination of optimal cut points.

 RESULTS

Fasting C-peptide was highly predictive for ASHE (ROC-AUC=0.906; optimal cut point=0.070 nmol/L), and the optimal outcome (ROC-AUC=0.845; optimal cut point=0.33 nmol/L). Mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) stimulated C-peptide to Glucose ratio (CPGR) outperformed both fasting and stimulated C-peptide for all outcomes except ASHE. Optimal cut point for the optimal outcome was 0.12 nmol/mmol for MMTT stimulated CPGR, and 0.97 nmol/L for MMTT stimulated C-peptide.

CONCLUSION

Fasting C-peptide reliably predicts ITx primary outcomes. MMTT stimulated CPGR provides marginally better prediction for composite ITx outcomes, including insulin independence.  In the absence of a MMTT, a fasting C-peptide ≥0.33 nmol/L is a reassuring measure of optimal islet graft function. C-peptide targets represent excellent and easily determinable means to predict glycemic control outcomes after ITx and should be considered as potential goals of beta cell replacement. 
Fusing optical coherence tomography and photodiodes for diagnosis of weld features during remote laser welding of copper-to-aluminum
Authors: Brežan Tine , Franciosa Pasquale , Jezeršek Matija , Ceglarek Dariusz
Published: January 2023

This study has been designed to investigate whether variations in the features of laser weldments can be isolated and diagnosed by fusing photodiodes and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Two manufacturing scenarios (variation in laser power and focal offset) have been considered during remote laser welding of 0.2 mm thick Cu foils on 2 mm thick Al 1050 plates with an adjustable ring mode laser integrated with a 1D oscillation head. The process was monitored by measuring weld penetration depth with OCT and by process emissions (plasma and back-reflection) via photodiodes. The acquisition frequency of all signals was 40 kHz. Strong correlations (r > 0.75) were shown between plasma, back-reflection, and OCT signals and measured depth and width of the weld. Weak correlations (r < 0.5) between voids, cracks, and sensor signals were observed. Although plasma is the predominant signal that carries most of the information about the process, and the OCT allows direct measurement of the penetration depth, their integration reached 87% classification accuracy of the tested welding scenarios. The main misclassification was observed between “good weld” and “over weld,” defined by the measured weld depth. Sensor fusion strategies with manufacturing implications are discussed throughout the paper.

Published: January 2023

The impact of climate change on human rights is a serious worry for the global community and is receiving more attention from both policymakers and researchers. However, information in this sector is sparse and fragmented. In an effort to highlight the difficulties facing humanity due to climatic factors, this article examines the rising emphasis given to human rights principles. It examines the linkages between human rights and legal responses to climate change and argued that certain connections exist between the two. The extent to which the international system sufficiently safeguards the human rights of those who are negatively impacted by climate change is examined. In conclusion, it makes suggestions for enhancing the protection of human rights in the context of climate change.
Alternativas de vertimiento y reúso de aguas de producción de yacimientos convencionales y no convencionales de crudo y gas en Colombia
Authors: Naranjo-Fernández Darío
Published: January 2023

Las aguas de producción son el principal residuo de la explotación de yacimientos convencionales y no convencionales de crudo y gas y deben tratarse y disponerse adecuadamente para evitar la contaminación de las matrices ambientales. No obstante, la normatividad ambiental colombiana relacionada con las alternativas de gestión de estas aguas de producción está dispersa y tiene vacíos. Esta revisión tiene como objetivo analizar las alternativas de vertimiento y reúso de las aguas de producción, establecidas en la normatividad y en literatura especializada, proponer opciones para subsanar los vacíos normativos y presentar las tecnologías de tratamiento para estas aguas. Los resultados de la revisión de la normatividad evidencian vacíos relacionados con el vertimiento de las aguas de producción al aire por evaporación total o parcial en lagunas, además de vacíos y contradicciones en cuanto al vertimiento de las aguas de producción en acuíferos a través de pozos inyectores. En cuanto a la revisión de la literatura especializada, los resultados muestran opciones de reúso diferentes a las consideradas en la normatividad y dos alternativas surgen como las más comunes: recobro mejorado en yacimientos convencionales y operaciones de fracturación hidráulica en yacimientos no convencionales. Igualmente, la literatura especializada presenta una amplia disponibilidad de tecnologías de tratamiento para las aguas de producción; no obstante, su selección depende de sus características y de los límites máximos permisibles de contaminantes según la alternativa de vertimiento y reúso. Como contribuciones, esta revisión discute acerca de las principales problemáticas asociadas a la disposición de las aguas de producción a través de pozos inyectores, o su reúso en pozos productores, que podrían producir la contaminación de acuíferos y suelos: la pérdida de inyectividad de la formación y la corrosión de líneas de conducción. Adicionalmente, propone parámetros de caracterización de aguas de formación y aguas de producción crudas y tratadas, junto con posibles ensayos de compatibilidad con el fin de evitar las problemáticas discutidas.
Pedagogical impact during the pandemic of a virtual classroom with lightboard
Authors: Revelo Luna David Armando , Flórez Marulanda Juan Fernando
Published: January 2023

Abstract: This paper analyzes the influence of a virtual classroom with a lightboard on the pedagogical impact generated in students of two synchronous engineering courses taught during the Covid 19 pandemic. A technology acceptance model analyzed the influence of the virtual classroom with lightboard, the central core of analysis being the students' learning satisfaction. The results show that the ease of receiving the lectures for students, the teacher's chosen methodology, and the support material positively influence the student's learning process. The lightboard supports all these influence factors, being a helpful tool for teachers. Also, in virtual lectures, it is relevant that the student has a good Internet connection, stable power supply, and other elements that allow him/her to participate in all synchronous lectures and develop asynchronous activities.

"This opinion article raises the issue of conceptual crisis in psychology, i.e. the problem of having several meanings underlying many of the concepts we study. After exemplifying with the concepts of “flexibility” and “cognition”, I propose three avenues on the way to conceptual clarity, and stress the need for a stronger theoretical psychology. Keywords: concepts in psychology, cognition, flexibility. "

"A quality education is a major goal of each country because it is a predictor of the success of future societies. When it comes to quality education, initial teacher training should be a landmark of the universities that prepare the future teachers. Music education can contribute to the development of quality education from a young age of children, needing, therefore, well trained teachers to perform it. Exposing children to quality music education in primary school does not restrict to the class hours. It might cover different learning situations, as music can accompany most of the teaching hours, in an integrative manner, and music activities, as chorus, can contribute to developing key competences of kids, ranging from the esthetic and cultural ones, till the social or cognitive ones. The article aims to highlight the importance of training musical skills that the teaching staff who teaches music education at primary school in the national education system in Romania must have. Expert oppinions are echoed in the article, drawn from 19 semistructured interviews carried out in May-June 2021. The diagnosis and proposals of academics training the respective teachers, of experienced practitioners guiding and evaluating teachers in schools, point towards possible revision of curriculum in initial teacher education, to ensure better trained professionals to teaching music in primary education. Keywords: Musical skills, initial teacher education, teachers, primary school. "
TRANSLATION TECHNIQUES IN THE SEPTUAGINT: SABBATH COMMANDMENTS AND THEIR POSSIBLE THEOLOGICAL MESSAGE AND BACKGROUND
Authors: LUKÁCS Ottilia
Published: January 2023

The Septuagint offers valuable insights into the theology of Hellenistic Judaism. Keeping in mind that each translation is at the same time an interpretation, the translator(s) of the Septuagint provide a new (theological) interpretation or adaptation of the Hebrew Scriptures to the readers. The translation may reflect the community’s understanding of certain issues, in this case the Sabbath. This paper aims at scrutinizing the possible theological and/or ideological understanding of the Sabbath commandment reflected by the process of translation, on the one hand. On the other hand, it explores whether the translator(s) noticed the literary and redactional relationship between these Sabbath commandments, undeniably present in the Hebrew texts. This investigation applies the “content related criteria” developed by Hans Ausloos and Bénédicte Lemmelijn as well as the “theological(ly motivated) exegesis” proposed by Emmanuel Tov.
EIN BISCHOF WIRD ABT UND ERHÄLT ERST DAMIT EINE HERDE (SC 41). EINIGE BESONDERHEITEN DER WAHL VON ASZTRIK VÁRSZEGI OSB ZUM ERZABT VON PANNONHALMA AUS LITURGIE-EKKLESIOLOGISCHER SICHT
Authors: NAGY Norbert

A bishop becomes an abbot and only then receives a flock (Sc 41). Some particularities of the election of Asztrik Várszegi OsB as Archabbot of Pannonhalma from a liturgical-eclesiological perspective. The Benedictine monks of Pannonhalma (Hungary) decided 1991 to elect as their new Archabbot the then Auxiliary Bishop Asztrik Várszegi OsB of Esztergom-Budapest. With this extraordinary move we can witness how a (Titular) Bishop without pastoral jurisdiction receives his own flock (sC 41) by being elected to lead Hungary’s oldest monastery and only Territorial Abbey. This paper presents some remarkable liturgical and ecclesiological aspects of the liturgy, in which Bishop Asztrik was introduced as new Archabbot and Ordinary of his local Church. Also interesting is the fact, that he was elected by members of the Order with a solemn vow, both clerics and lay brothers, and later confirmed by the supreme Pontiff. For the synodal process, initiated by Pope Francis, the way of selecting bishops is a key theme. Bishop Asztrik’s election and appointment could be a striking example for how lay people in the future can get a more active and direct role in selecting their shepherds.
SOME ASPECTS OF THE INTEGRATION OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF ALBA IULIA IN THE ROMANIAN ECCLESIAL STRUCTURES IN THE INTERWAR PERIOD
Authors: ANDRÁS Szabolcs
Published: January 2023

This paper addresses the changes that took place after World War I in the life of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Alba Iulia led by Bishop Gusztáv Károly Mailáth. This was the only new diocese in Romania to retain all the historical territory it had previously held in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, whereas all others that have suffered significant territorial losses. The Roman Catholic Church in Transylvania was largely ethnically Hungarian. The diocese was thus faced with the challenge of integrating in the Romanian ecclesiastical-administrative structures, while preserving its religious and ethnic characteristics. We are witnessing here the beginning of a “diplomatic game” between the Romanian Government, the Holy see and Bishop Mailáth. The issue at stake for the Roman Catholic Church in Transylvania was the preservation of confessional and ethnic identity in a new political framework. The integration culminated with the signing of the Concordat between Romania and the Holy see in 1927, but the road to the completion of this document is marked by many interesting developments, which provide an insight in the challenges of preserving confessional and ethnic identity while accommodating to new political circumstances and redefining the mission of a Catholic Church belonging to an ethnic minority.
Fyrirkomulag og upplifun nemenda af matssamtali í raunfærnimati í leikskólakennarafræði við Háskóla Íslands

Published: January 2023

Í þessari grein er fjallað um raunfærnimat í leikskólakennarafræði við Háskóla Íslands sem byggir á norrænni fyrirmynd. Umfjöllunin er afmörkuð við þróun matsgagna og aðferða í matssamtali í raunfærnimatinu til að meta þá þekkingu og hæfni sem nemendur hafa öðlast í starfi í leikskóla út frá hæfniviðmiðum þeirra námskeiða sem voru til mats. Í greininni er sjónum beint að þeim matsgögnum og aðferðum sem stuðst var við í matssamtölunum ásamt upplifun nemenda og matsaðila af þeim. Meginmarkmið raunfærnimats er að einstaklingur fái viðurkennda þá reynslu sem hann hefur öðlast utan veggja skóla þannig að hann þurfi ekki að sækja nám í því sem hann þegar kann. Raunfærnin ætti í kjölfar mats að leiða til styttingar á námi. Fjögur grunnhugtök tengjast raunfærnimati; ferilmappa, skimunarlisti, sjálfsmatslisti og matssamtöl. Stuðst var við fjölbreyttar aðferðir í matssamtölum sem tóku mið af hæfniviðmiðum, kennslu og verkefnum námskeiðanna sem voru til raunfærnimats. Helstu niðurstöður rannsóknarinnar sýna að nemendum fannst matssamtölin krefjandi. Þeim fannst undirbúningur fyrir samtölin góður og töluðu um að allir sem að ferlinu komu hefðu verið hjálpsamir og hvetjandi. Nemendum fannst matsaðilar taka sér góðan tíma til að hlusta á sig í samtalinu. Að mati matsaðila sýndu samtölin vel þá þekkingu og hæfni sem nemendur höfðu öðlast í starfi. Niðurstöðurnar styðja við þá hugmynd að mikilvægt sé að gefa ófaglærðu starfsfólki leikskóla tækifæri til þess að fá reynslu sína og þekkingu metna til styttingar á leikskólakennaranámi.
Traditional Crafts. A Literature Review Focused on Sustainable Development
Authors: Zbuchea Alexandra
Published: January 2023

We witness a revival of the crafts due to complex changes in mentalities and society, but also related to the benefits and positive implications that traditional crafts could offer to contemporary societies and economies. Also, traditional crafts are compatible with the concept of sustainable development, which gives them another boost. The present paper represents one of the very few literature reviews in the field of traditional crafts aiming to map the knowledge we possess on traditional crafts. It documents a significant gap between professional and academic research, with the former being visible at local/national levels, but also an increased interest in the field, especially in understanding the future role that traditional crafts could play in communities and economies.
