Tendencias, desafíos y oportunidades para la transformación de la educación superior en América Latina
Authors: Ensuncho Diaz Geysa Milena
Published: July 2022

La educación como derecho es un asunto que requiere de reflexiones constantes, orientadas no solo a discutir la forma como se educa sino también a proponer estrategias, planes, programas y políticas públicas que incidan significativamente en garantizar una educación de calidad, pertinente y de fácil acceso a la población. En América Latina, se presentan distintas formas de desigualdades y diferentes problemas sociales que de una u otra forma han impactado también en la educación o quizás la falta de acceso a la educación ha impactado en que los problemas sociales se agudicen debido a la falta de equidad en diferentes espacios y contextos.

En el presente documento se hace un recorrido por algunas de las tendencias y desafíos que factores como la privatización, las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, entre otros, vienen generando en el ámbito de la educación superior en América Latina, haciendo énfasis en el impacto que dichos fenómenos tienen sobre los sistemas educativos y presentando además la posibilidad de nuevos escenarios de oportunidades de transformación que se pueden dar desde el fomento de la educación como bien público comprometido con el desarrollo no solo de la región sino a nivel global.

La estética de la protesta en el arte urbano: entre la política y el arte
Authors: Mata Delgado Ana Lizeth
Published: July 2022

El arte urbano es algo más que imágenes de gran formato en nuestras calles; es una expresión artística que protesta, aclama, reclama y se queja de las situaciones que vivimos día con día. Cierto es que hay una vasta producción de temáticas, y que de acuerdo con el contexto es que son apropiadas o rechazadas por la comunidad que convive con ella. Sin embargo, existe una estética referente a la política y la protesta, realizada exprofeso para denunciar situaciones políticas, actos violentos o simplemente para evidenciar diversas situaciones en distintas partes del mundo, tales como: la migración, el feminismo, la crítica política, el racismo, la economía, la protesta ciudadana entre otros temas. Es así como la estética del arte urbano se focaliza entre la política y el arte.
Saice Libelú a la carta, sin pimienta, poca sal
Authors: Machado Rubens
Published: July 2022

La película Libelu – Abaixo a Ditadura!, resultó ganadora en 2020 del festival Todo es Verdad (Tudo é Verdade), en São Paulo, el principal evento brasileño de los festivales de documentales, y reconocido mundialmente, forma parte de las nominaciones al Oscar. Se analiza críticamente la película en un ensayo que busca explicar su punto de vista en relación a la experiencia de los estudiantes que participaron de ese momento político en la universidad brasileña en los años 70. La corriente estudiantil de orientación trotskista Libelú jugó un papel destacado en la reapertura política, entre otras razones por llevar a las calles, a partir de 1968, las primeras manifestaciones políticas del país y la consigna ¡Abajo la Dictadura! El ensayo se interesa por temas de fondo que son evocados por el documental en torno a la lucha contra la Dictadura (1964-1985), incluyendo debates entre las izquierdas, las contraculturas y cuestiones de vanguardia en las artes y la cultura.

Mobile clinics: Medical service strategy for disaster healthcare response operation
Authors: Maghfiroh Meilinda , Hanaoka Shinya
Published: July 2022

Purpose: Disrupted healthcare facilities due to disasters leave the affected communities without access to sufficient health care. This study proposed the use of mobile health clinics to address the issues faced by medical service providers during disaster response.Design/methodology/approach: A mobile health clinic a mobile facility that performs health care services from a stationary location. The model was developed as a healthcare response strategy, considering demand uncertainties due to the nature of the disaster. Therefore, this study objective is to simultaneously generate the mobile health clinic route and schedule and determine how each mobile health clinic covers patient demands within a pre-specified time horizon. The stochastic model is presented because the disaster's impact varies according to its scale.Findings: An investigation of the medical shelter effect in locations with high number of displaced people and the routing of mobile clinics for several shelter locations with a small number of people show that a hybrid strategy comprising a medical shelter and a mobile health clinic is the best option. Mobile health clinics can serve many locations within an appropriate walking distance. It can also route them to other locations when the time constraint allows. With a high number of people located in a shelter, building a medical shelter provides a better service.Originality/value: This study proposed mobile health clinics as a medical service strategy during disaster response to address the challenges faced by communities during a disaster response. The idea of mobile health clinics (MHC) is to improve communities’ access to healthcare services.
A data-driven approach to the evaluation of asphalt pavement structures using falling weight deflectometer
Authors: Liu Hanjie , Cao Jinde , Huang Wei , Shi Xinli , Zhou Xingye
Published: July 2022

The evaluation of asphalt pavement structures has been a critical challenge in the field due to the practical limitations in methodology. In this paper, we propose a data-driven framework to evaluate structural performance of nineteen widely used asphalt structures in the Research Institute of Highway Ministry of Transport track (RIOHTrack). Specifically, we utilize the unsupervised machine learning method to delineate the similar and disparate performance among tested structures based on four years of falling weight deflectometer (FWD) experiments. Next, the structural performance is investigated on the temporal scale and the dynamic performance variations are captured over the course of the testing. Finally, experimental results are discussed and we provide essential evidence to aid future asphalt pavement design and construction.

Published: July 2022

In November 2019, there was the first case of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) recorded, and up to 3$ ^{rd }$ of April 2020, 1,116,643 confirmed positive cases, and around 59,158 dying were recorded. Novel antiviral structures of the SARS-COV-2 virus is discussed in terms of the metric basis of their molecular graph. These structures are named arbidol, chloroquine, hydroxy-chloroquine, thalidomide, and theaflavin. Partition dimension or partition metric basis is a concept in which the whole vertex set of a structure is uniquely identified by developing proper subsets of the entire vertex set and named as partition resolving set. By this concept of vertex-metric resolvability of COVID-19 antiviral drug structures are uniquely identified and helps to study the structural properties of structure.
The impact of corporate tax outcomes on forced CEO turnover
Authors: Chang Xue
Published: July 2022

As market competition has increased in recent years, CEO turnover has become more frequent. The tax avoidance activities maximize after-tax profits. After the CEO turnover, the company's strategy needs to be repositioned. Therefore, this paper analyzes the impact of corporate tax avoidance on CEO turnover. This paper selects the Chinese A-share market from 2010 to 2019. It combines theoretical analysis and empirical research to explore the impact of corporate tax avoidance on CEO turnover and further analyzes the relationship under different ownerships. This paper finds a negative relationship between tax rates and forced CEO turnover. Listed companies with lower tax rates increase social concern, leading to public doubts and inspections by tax authorities, which further damage the company's reputation. CEO turnover is the quick and easy way to respond to public accusations. This paper also finds that state-owned enterprises (SOEs) undertake more social responsibilities than non-state-owned enterprises (non-SOEs). The main contributions of this paper are as follows: From the theoretical perspective, this paper conducts systematic research on corporate tax avoidance and CEO turnover and analyzes the relationship under different ownerships. In practice, this paper puts forward relevant policy recommendations for the long-term development of enterprises and social responsibilities.
Thermodynamics and Economics Analogies
Authors: Norouzi Nima
Published: July 2022

A Gibbs-Duhem relationship in economics, Slutsky conditions, and the relationship proposed by marginalist theory between exchange value and value in use was found from a phenomenological description and tested considering the macroeconomic equations. To simplify the calculations, it was considered that the economic systems are in equilibrium to make an analogy with the thermodynamics of equilibrium. In addition, fundamental considerations were made, such as considering that a consumer's wealth or a small country is constant for the existence of a measurable (quantifiable) utility function. However, according to the discussion, it could be seen that W. Saslow's theory must be developed in the field of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, which is why the economy is not a system that is in equilibrium, but rather, on the contrary, the economy is a dynamic system.
Demystifying Federated Learning in Artificial Intelligence With Human-Computer Interaction
Authors: Whig Pawan , Velu Arun , Ready Rahul
Published: July 2022

Today, attempts have been made to overcome entertainment objectives in the production of video games. In reality, much work has gone into seeking tools in computer science using AI and advanced technologies to develop games so that they can be used in educational, industry, or political processes. For these goods to be successfully introduced into society, they must be crafted to be as available as possible to all people, including those who belong to minorities with special needs. Adaptability and compatibility need to ensure better quality and adoption of goods to meet accessibility requirements. With demystifying federated learning in artificial intelligence, the possibilities of combining human-computer interaction with artificial intelligence to enhance usability in games, and thus to make them more democratic and useful to society, especially for those who rely on assistive technology services, are discussed in this chapter.
Corruption and Militarization as Obstacles to Development and Democracy
Authors: Mudzengerere Armstrong , Bayram Mürsel
Published: July 2022

The menace of institutionalized corruption accounts for the stalled development of Zimbabwe despite the country being ranked among the economic giants in Southern Africa in the early 1980s. The chapter explores the trend of the dialectic nexus between the intensified militarization of the state and the rising levels of corruption in Zimbabwe. The nation's fragility is typical of the perpetual decay of norms-based governance at the mercy of the military. Consequently, a fragile state with a militarised executive tends to neutralize and weaken good governance structures such as the judiciary, military, and civil society. Corruption is not new in Zimbabwe, but after the 2017 military coup, the evident military cronyism in political appointments serving economic interests of the elite, which was somewhat clandestine under Mugabe's rule, coincides with high and rising levels of corruption without legitimate checks.

Published: July 2022

This chapter explores school suspensions and the extent to which perceptions of racism or differential treatment are held by African American adolescents with multiple school suspensions occurring between August 2018 to present, as well as the perceptions of families and community members. Racism in school exclusionary suspensions (RISES) is a mixed-methods study that addresses the long-standing phenomenon of out-of-school suspensions and school pushout resulting in African American elementary, middle, and high school adolescents dropping out of school before graduation and entering the school-to-prison pipeline. The importance of parental, teacher, and administrator advocacy, as well as community engagement are further explored as the researchers make the case for African American male adolescent suspensions.
Evaluation of a Model-Driven Proposal to the Development of Groupware Systems
Authors: Bibbo Luis Mariano , Pons Claudia , Fernandez Alejandro
Published: July 2022

Building groupware is a complex task. This chapter presents the use of the domain-specific language CSSL v2.0 collaborative software system language. CSSL provides simplicity, expressiveness, and precision to model the main concepts of collaborative systems, especially collaborative processes, protocols, and awareness. Models of collaborative systems are created via visual editors that support the concrete syntax of CSSL. According to the MDD methodology, models are independent of the implementation platform and are formally prepared to be transformed. In this implementation, the target of the transformation is a web application that provides a set of basic functions that developers can refine. Evaluation, validation, and verification of the language is performed, determining that the CSSL tools allow developers to solve central aspects of collaborative systems implementation in a simple and reasonable way. The evaluation determined that the CSSL metamodel has low complexity, with semantics strongly associated with UML and with good configuration possibilities.
The Study of FinTech
Authors: Bhasin Narinder Kumar , Gulati Kamal
Published: July 2022

In September 2021, the Government of India approved the extension of a guarantee worth INR 30.6 billion (US$4.1 billion) to the National Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd. (NARCL), also called a bad bank. In a move to address the mountain of NPAs in the banking sector, bad banks may bring some relief to banks or rather defer the crisis. However, historically bad banks have not been successful for countries like Mexico, Greece, South Korea, Argentina, and Italy. Technology can help manage the challenges posed by the mountain of NPAs in the Indian banking sector through emerging technologies like blockchain for transparency and artificial intelligence for streamlined processes. This chapter explains the FinTech way through new emerging technologies to resolve the problem of high non-performing assets and the role of introduction of bad banks to alienate illiquid and risky assets held by banks and financial institutions to clean their balance sheets by transferring their bad loans so that the banks can focus on their core business of taking deposits and lending money.

Authors: Ruby E. D. Kanmani , Mary G. AloyAnuja , Sri B. Sathya , Vinod K. S. , Kumar S. Vishnu , P. Janani
Published: July 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected countries economically due to lack of documented guidance; it has also resulted in increased spread and mortality rate. This motivated the authors to design a disaster preparedness system to enable countries to plan strategically and strengthen their efforts in future events. Web-scraping technique is used for crowdsourcing both past and current information such as government policies, associated cost, the spreading and mortality rate, and the medicines used; the results are stored in a database. The framework aims to enable the government bodies and other stakeholders to detect, prevent, and respond to future novel pandemics. Thus, the proposed model aids as a reference tool and can be used for predictive analysis. This information collectively helps countries to acknowledge their strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat (SWOT) ranking and allows them in their national capacities to improve their strategies, infrastructure, and to draft plans in line with the most updated guidance.
Progression of E-Publishing Capacity Building in Nigeria
Authors: Ifeduba Emmanuel
Published: July 2022

The variety of opportunities offered by the internet makes it attractive for publishing, especially for developing nations previously unable to distribute publications on a global scale. However, Nigerian publishers striving to seize the moment are grossly under-reported in literature, notwithstanding that their innovations could create opportunities globally. This study, therefore, describes the progression of e-publishing in Nigeria with emphasis on e-publishing capacity building, collaboration, and outsourcing. Data were collected from publishers and their websites by means of in-depth interviews, website observation, and survey, and findings indicate that publishers are building e-publishing capacity by launching websites, e-book clubs, online bookshops, and e-libraries in schools and by collaborating with foreign e-book distribution firms. This study, therefore, provides updated information on an emerging market with huge investment and collaboration potential.
Computer Programming Practical Works Activities
Authors: Boussaha karima , Hanneche Amira , Chaoua Zakaria
Published: July 2022

The most important cause to the difficulties many freshmen feel to learn programming is their lack of generic problem solving skills and programming debugging skills on their own. On this basis, this chapter introduces a new learner's self-assessment environment as CEHL. The proposed system helps the learner to take full responsibility for learning and completing his work by relying on him to correct his mistakes. CEHL developed so-called S_Onto_ALPPWA in its current second version allowing comparing learners' productions with those elaborated by the teacher. The authors conducted to analyze the effectiveness of two developed versions of an automated assessment scoring tool. Version 1 and Version 2 of this tool are detailed in authors previously published articles by comparing them with the expert scoring. So to achieve this objective, the researchers use a correlational research design to examine the correlations between S_Onto_ALPPWA and expert raters' performances.

Published: July 2022

This research study aimed at developing a distributed system of web-based collaboration that would create a research and innovation ecosystem for university-industry partnership. Based on in-depth literature review, the focus-group approach to qualitative research was conducted with key stakeholders in university-industry partnership coming together to understand the research problem and system requirements. The requirements gathered at the project initiation stage guided the system design and implementation of a distributed collaborative research and innovation system that runs on three separately located servers: two for two different universities and one for all industry players. The system developed was modeled to describe how it works and to demonstrate how it would meet the identified functional requirements. Recommendations were given to guide further research and development that would improve the impact of this research study.
The Roles of Habit and Compatibility in the Continued Use of Short-Form Video Sharing Services
Authors: Ambalov Igor Alexander
Published: July 2022

Short-form video sharing services (SVSs), such as TikTok, have rapidly grown in popularity in the recent years. Some evidence suggests that because SVSs allow users to quickly and easily create and consume on-demand content, they are addictive, and they appeal to a wide audience. The available literature attempting to explain this phenomenon remains scant. In order to fill this gap, the current study aims to examine the roles of habit and compatibility on SVS continuance intention and the interaction of these relationships with user experience, using TikTok as a context. To this goal, data collected from 157 university-student TikTok users are analyzed using structural equation modeling to determine whether these factors shape their continuance decisions. The findings show that habit and compatibility positively affect continuance intention while experience does not. This study enhances SVS continuance research by theorizing and empirically confirming that habit and compatibility are important influences in the context of continuing SVS usage.
New Educational Mission
Authors: Mechi Aneta
Published: July 2022

The last chapter proposes to go not only beyond the epistemic dimension to improve it, but also beyond the lesson content. The German's lesson shows how easily we can exceed students' expectations and arouse their curiosity, enthusiasm, and learning investment. If we aspire to decrease school violence, bullying, and delinquency, a new educational mission would be to surpass teaching without necessarily being demanding or time-consuming. Indeed, making use of the relational dimension—using the multiple intelligence and STEAM approaches to include students through competence—seemss to refer to the new school mission as an aspiration builder rather than a selection referee and inducer of discouragement.
School Discipline, Zero Tolerance Policies, and American K-12 Education
Authors: Mallett Christopher A.
Published: July 2022

This chapter reviews some of the history of establishing public schools through compulsory attendance laws for children, as well as the use of school discipline over time. The primary focus is on more recent times whereby the public schools across the country followed the juvenile justice system's “tough on crime” pathway since the 1990s. The increased use of zero tolerance policies and police (safety resource officers) in the schools has exponentially increased school-based arrests and referrals to the juvenile courts. These policies have not increased school safety and in many cases have inadvertently made schools less safe. These changes have also disproportionately ensnared a smaller group of at-risk and already disadvantaged students, including certain minorities, those with special education disabilities, and those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT).
School-to-Prison Pipeline
Authors: Keenan Sheri Jenkins , Rush Jeffrey P.
Published: July 2022

Juvenile crime rates have declined steadily since 1994 and the number of youths in juvenile detention centers has dropped; however, school discipline polices are moving in the other direction. In recent years, the lines between the public school system and the juvenile justice system have become indistinct. There are several trends in K-12 education contributing to the school-to-prison pipeline such as declining school funding, resegregation of schools by race and class, under-representation of students of color in advanced placement, over-representation of student of color in special education, the creation and expansion of “zero-tolerance” policies, tracking, increased presence of SROs, No Child Left Behind (NCLB), standardized testing, and rising drop-out rates. However, the focus here is the expansion and increased reliance on “zero-tolerance” policies and the use of the SRO to enforce those policies which play an immediate and integral role in feeding the school-to-prison pipeline.

Institutional Attitudes Towards Research-Related Academic Integrity in Recently Internationalizing Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Ergenç Ceren , Emil Serap
Published: July 2022

Higher education systems throughout the world are mostly based on the institutions and values of the Western education system. World university ranking systems, quality assurance mechanisms, assessment frameworks, promotion, and evaluation systems are universalized. Many universities in developing countries have now joined these ranking systems and introduced vigorous faculty promotion criteria to create world-class universities. Research reveals that those who publish in predatory journals are mostly young and inexperienced researchers from developing countries. China and Turkey are among the countries frequently associated with predatory journals and related academic corruption schemes. In this chapter, both regulations and discourses that shape the institutional cultures in these two countries that are in close cooperation with the EU regarding higher education are examined. It is concluded that there is a global diffusion of rules and values, and national identity construction processes influence actual practices.
Other Forms of Sociopathic Manifestations
Authors: Tomić Ruža
Published: July 2022

Juvenile delinquency, abuse, and addictions are among the very serious problems of the modern world. They are becoming more frequent every day and appear among the younger categories of children and youth, with increasingly destructive forms and manifestations. The community seeks ways and takes measures to prevent these socio-pathological phenomena, with the aim of reducing or preventing them altogether. In order to succeed, social pedagogical theory and practice are constantly being improved and enriched, and they offer new contributions that can help in the constructive resolution of these painful social phenomena. Their spread degrades the personality of the individual and the whole social community, and this leaves lasting and far-reaching consequences. Only by getting to know and having insight into all the above aspects of these socio-pathological phenomena will it be possible to create and offer organized professional activity in their transformation.
School Violence Inside Youth Prison Schools
Authors: Young-Alfaro Morghan Vélez
Published: July 2022

School violence inside youth prisons proves challenging to explore. The diversity among incarcerated students, variation in the layout and management of youth prison schools, and the trauma caused by confinement factor into how school violence unfolds. This chapter makes four contributions to landscaping the study of school violence inside youth prison schools. First, contrary to popular stereotypes, students have offenses across a spectrum of non-violent to violent crimes. Second, classrooms in some youth prisons are the only social spaces and violence gets funneled into them. Third, school violence intervention programs used in youth prison schools must contend with the trauma-inducing aspects involved in living in a correctional setting. Fourth, public discourse misplaces attention on punitive responses outside of a complex understanding of the students, experiences inside youth prison schools, and possibilities beyond schooling behind bars. These contributions scaffold future directions in research on school violence in youth prison schools.
Guns in School
Authors: Wallace Lacey Nicole
Published: July 2022

This chapter examines weapon carrying by teachers and students in K-12 schools. Most of the chapter focuses on juveniles, exploring how often juveniles bring weapons to school, the demographic characteristics these juveniles have in common, and why juveniles opt to bring weapons on school grounds. Empirical studies of these topics based on official data, victimization data, and self-report data are reviewed. Additionally, this chapter details the federal and state laws that regulate weapons on school property. Attention is also given to the recent debate over arming K-12 teachers and staff as a prevention measure. Like the discussion of juvenile gun carrying, this chapter highlights the law regulating this issue, arguments for and against such a policy, and the empirical research assessing effects.
Modeling Interactive Behaviors While Learning With Digitized Objects in Virtual Reality Environments
Authors: Poitras Eric , Butcher Kirsten R. , Orr Matthew P.
Published: July 2022

This chapter outlines a framework for automated detection of student behaviors in the context of virtual learning environments. The components of the framework establish several parameters for data acquisition, preprocessing, and processing as a means to classify different types of behaviors. The authors illustrate these steps in training and evaluating a detector that differentiates between students' observations and functional behaviors while students interact with three-dimensional (3D) virtual models of dinosaur fossils. Synthetic data were generated in controlled conditions to obtain time series data from different channels (i.e., orientation from the virtual model and remote controllers) and modalities (i.e., orientation in the form of Euler angles and quaternions). Results suggest that accurate detection of interaction behaviors with 3D virtual models requires smaller moving windows to segment the log trace data as well as features that characterize orientation of virtual models in the form of quaternions. They discuss the implications for personalized instruction in virtual learning environments.

Authors: Moutsopoulou Christina Antonia , Mallouchou Afroditi
Published: July 2022

This article contends that juvenile delinquency may be viewed from a developmental perspective and as such be connected to its penal treatment, of which the purpose is mainly educational. The emergence of antisocial and/or delinquent behavior of minors is characterized as a form of rebellion and resistance to power. The mitigation of juvenile delinquency risk can be achieved through a humanitarian approach. Minor offenders need to be approached in a special manner and treated in a way tailored to suit their needs according to age. The present article outlines the profile of the minor offender and his/her family background, as well as the institutional role of Juvenile Probation Officers as practitioners in the Greek penal system. Counseling of minors and parents and advocacy to minors are described as two distinct inter-related practices that help children reintegrate into society and achieve their social education.

This descriptive chapter tackles the issue of ‘preventing' academic misconduct via effective assessment design. A dearth of literature is focused on ‘detecting' plagiarism, but assessment (re)design can help ‘prevent' the pervasiveness of ‘cheating' if tasks are relevant, authentic, real-world, educative, and career-focused from the outset. While contemporary society is demanding and complex, many educational assessment practices today remain unimpressively straightforward. Academic faculty are central to confronting cheating. In this chapter, the authors focus on a three-pillar system that empowers higher education institutions (HEIs) to better prevent malpractice rather than reacting to it afterwards. The aim of this chapter is to provide a descriptive investigation into why assessment is so important in the fight against academic misconduct, and a three-pillar approach to bolster assessment practices that will help minimize opportunities for students to engage in academic offences. Within this presentation are included author narratives that will help readers understand the many and varied ways tertiary-level students can challenge faculty assessment design.
Heart-Based Teaching
Authors: Pedigo Timothy W. , Howell Glenna Lambert
Published: July 2022

Heart-Based Teaching, a mindfulness training program embedded in the professional education curriculum of preservice teacher candidates, is described. Heart-Based Teaching prepares teacher candidates to model and teach mindfulness to help their future students achieve social emotional goals as well as to enhance the teacher candidates' own social emotional competencies. Theoretical and research bases of the program as well as specific elements of implementation are included: structure of the two required courses, mini-lecture/discussion topics of each class session, assignments, assessments, and rubrics. Some initial qualitative data that contributed to program development are presented, and parameters of an ongoing robust quantitative study are described. Heart-Based Teaching is presented as a replicable model for other teacher education programs.

A fundamental part of today's K-12 classroom is 21st-century instruction that infuses technology skills in all subjects to prepare for the digital world. As educators continue to integrate this technology into student learning, it is important to examine the value of the human relationships that develop with the teachers in concert with the technology as they interact with their students in this environment. This integration of technology has created a shift in the role of the teacher and have led researchers to examine how high-quality relationships that are caring, supportive, and reciprocal impact pedagogical approaches, student engagement and motivation, and academic success. This chapter examines the work of several studies that focused on the interplay of technology integration and the teacher-student relationship on the social, emotional, and academic success of students.
Building Positive Student and Teacher Relationships With Restorative Practice
Authors: Schneider Corey E.
Published: July 2022

When there is a lack of a positive student-teacher relationships, students struggle with their behavior, motivation, and academics. When a teacher has a negative relationship with their students, their students disengage from the classroom and begin to question why school is an important component in their life. Creating a positive student-teacher relationship is a necessary component for an early-career teacher to make. When an early-career teacher works to create meaningful relationships with their students, their students show improvement with behavior, motivation, and academics. This chapter highlights how positive student-teacher relationships bring out the best in students and provides a research-based program that has shown positive results in transforming the classroom climate to a positive, safe environment because of positive relationships.
Strategies to Overcome Middle School Teachers' Classroom Management Stress
Authors: Divoll Kent Alan , Ribeiro Angelica Ramos
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this chapter is to explain the complexities of classroom management, student development, and middle school philosophy for new teachers at the middle school level. In addition, the authors provide the following four strategies to help new teachers deal with the stress of classroom situations: (a) improving knowledge of student development, the brain, and stress; (b) focusing on what is in the teachers' control; (c) breaking down the tasks into small chunks; and (d) creating a positive mindset. This chapter is unique because few authors have combined the concepts of middle school teacher stress caused by classroom management, how the brain influences classroom management, teacher stress, the cyclical nature of new teacher stress, and strategies to ameliorate stress.
Detection of Small Oranges Using YOLO v3 Feature Pyramid Mechanism

Published: July 2022

Existing approaches to fruit detection experience difficulty in detecting small fruits with low overall detection accuracy. The reasons why many detectors are unable to handle small fruits better are that fruit data sets are small, and they are not enough to train previous models of YOLO. Further, these models used in fruit detection are initialized by a pre-trained model and then fine-tuned on fruit data sets. The pre-trained model was trained on the ImageNet data set whose objects have a bigger scale than that of the fruits in the fruit pictures. Fruit detection being a fundamental task for automatic yield estimation, the goal is to detect all the fruits in images. YOLO-V3 uses multi-scale prediction to detect the final target, and its network structure is more complex. Thus, in this work, YOLO-V3 is used to predict bounding boxes on different scales and to make multi-scale prediction, thereby making YOLO-V3 more effective for detecting small targets. The feature pyramid mechanism integrates multi-scale feature information to improve the detection accuracy.
Natural Computing of Human Facial Emotion Using Multi-Learning Fuzzy Approach
Authors: Kulkarni Praveen , Rajesh T. M.
Published: July 2022

Emotions are described as strong feelings that are expressed by an individual in response to reactions to something or someone. Emotions are a very important aspect of day-to-day life interaction. Research shows that more than 90% of communication will happen non-verbally. This paper presents human emotion detection using a fuzzy relational model. The model consists of an image processing stage followed by an emotion recognition phase. The authors additionally made sub-categories in the most important expressions like happy and sad to discover the level of happiness and sadness in one face. Feature extraction along with multi-learning approach will help to test whether the person is truly happy or appearing to be happy. Experimental outcomes on the image dataset point out the accurate performance of the proposed technique. The experiment gives good accuracy results with the authors' own data set and robust with reference to some latest and leading edge.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the rates of diabetes distress and depression in patients with Type 2 diabetes and to explore the relationship between glycemic control, depression, and diabetes distress. Patients and Methods: One hundred and fifteen adults with Type 2 diabetes were recruited for this cross-sectional study from the Dubai Diabetes Center in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The Arabic version of the Diabetes Distress Scale was used to assess diabetes distress, and the Arabic version of the Beck Depression Inventory-II scale was used to assess depression symptoms. Results: Our study population consisted of 63 males (54.8%) and 52 females (45.2%). We found that, out of this study population, 54.3% had uncontrolled diabetes with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) >7% (53 mmol/mol), 54.8% exhibited diabetes distress, and 29.6% showed depression. Using a combined oral and insulin treatment was found to be significant independent predictors of poor glycemic control as defined by an HbA1c >7% (53 mmol/mol). Conclusion: This study has identified psychosocial issues as a significant health problem among adult patients with type 2 diabetes and offers data confirming the relevance of diabetes distress and depression among them. This finding can help clinicians have a better understanding of the extent to which psychosocial issues influence diabetes management so as to develop effective and appropriate treatment approaches.
