MODELS AND GAMES: A PROPOSAL FOR A DIDACTIC INTERVENTION IN THE TEACHING OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Authors: Gustavo Oliveira da Silva Victor , Gardenea de Almeida Bandim Camila , Rodrigues de Lira Daniel
Published: December 2022

The educational process is an activity that requires attention from those involved in its implementation. In many cases the school atmosphere becomes monotonous, and the teacher occasionally is unable to encourage the students. As a way to overcome the classic classroom model, there are some didactical tools that can be used by the educator. Several alternatives are available to teachers to reach the construction of knowledge in a meaningful way. The models and educational games are learning tools that are widely discussed in the scientific literature; nevertheless, their application in day-to-day life is still scarce. The didactic tools can achieve satisfactory results regarding the objective of knowledge construction, as they are used in conjunction with the teacher's planning. This paper seeks to present an intervention proposal for basic education, using the construction of models and educational games as tools to provide a pleasant, stimulant and effective education that allow the recognition of geographic knowledge and phenomena.
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY AND THE SEMI-ARID: A MEETING OF THE FILM BACURAU WITH THE GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE
Authors: Oliveira Mayrink Jayne , Regina de Oliveira Janete
Published: December 2022

Geographic science and cinema always have much in common, not only because socio-spatial relationships are represented by screens, but mainly because such representations may indicate an alert of the inequalities involved in the articulations between society(s) and nature(s). Cinema is an ally of the educational process, it is able to make the subject see and see around him, as well as can also be a driving force to bring creative stimuli and add new perceptions of life and world to students and students. In this article, the relationship of the backcountry people with water is analyzed through the landscapes and plot transmitted in the film Bacurau (2019). Aspects of physical geography are addressed in order to mediate the interpretation of the landscapes seen throughout the film and to explore the controversial narratives about the historical water crisis of the Northeastern Backcountry. The reading was based on the Four Factors Theory (TQF), a theory of own authorship that addresses the challenges, reinforces perspectives and proposes reflections and ways to contribute to the teaching of physical geography from a constant debate about the field and its possibilities of dialogue with film productions.

Published: December 2022

Environmental disasters have occurred more frequently, especially those of origin associated with climatic conditions, generally induced by anthropogenic actions, such as floods and landslides. This work aims to present a proposal for mapping physical-environmental indicators to support the analysis of geomorphological risk in the hydrographic basin of the Parauapebas River (PA). The methodology adopted was based on precepts of the theory of ecodynamics (TRICART, 1977), supporting, in this way, the analysis of variables and criteria adopted in the estimation of the fragility of the natural environment of the environments (ROSS, 1994). Four geomorphological risk classes were identified – very low, low, moderate and high. The hydrographic basin of the Parauapebas River showed a worrying panorama in the face of the geomorphological risk, which may, in this sense, be potentiated by the accelerated and disorderly expansion of human activities.

Published: December 2022

The Brazilian semiarid region is an environmentally fragile that suffers from deforestation and land degradation. In the sustainable development debate, it's essential integrating sustainability into geoscience education and training. In order to have sustainable development, it is necessary to sensitize people about the functioning of environmental dynamics, considering not only biotic factors, abiotic and biotic factors work together to create a ecosystem. Environmental Education offers objective instruments to elaborate and re-elaborate personal beliefs, values, attitudes and behaviour. We aimed to analyse and discuss how geoscience and environmental education can work together to environmental conservation and preservation in the Brazilian semiarid region. The study was conducted in the Private Reserve of Natural Heritage Olho d'água das Onças (Picuí-PB) in the Northeast of Brazil. Geomorphological, geological and pedological characterizations of the study area were carried out, in order to discuss the processes involved and understand the semiarid dynamics. Our results show two distinct environments with contrasting dynamics: the flat tableland domain with Latossolo Amarelo and edge of tableland with Neossolo Litólico. Environmental educational practices in the semiarid region need to take a holistic approach with interconnected environment (abiotic and biotic). It is essential to understand and discuss the processes, especially in relation to erosion and siltation processes, which generate different impacts with economic and social consequences. It is noteworthy that Environmental Education must be assumed as an educational process of continuous training, regardless of age and location. Knowing the dynamics of the physical environment of the semiarid is of paramount importance in order to avoid land degradation and restoring degraded lands.

Effects of volatility, fiscal policy cyclicality, and financial development on growth in South Asia
Authors: Mumtaz Muhammad Zubair , Qurat-ul-Ain Syeda
Published: December 2022

This study empirically investigates the association between macroeconomic volatility and growth in the presence of credit constraints and governmental fiscal policy stance. This study considers four South Asian countries: Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka to examine the relationship between macroeconomic volatility and growth during the period lasting from 1980 to 2018 using the fully modified least square method. This study finds an inverse impact of volatility on growth in the presence of financial market constraints as credit market imperfections restrict companies from borrowing which eventually affect long-term investment and innovations. Also, the results suggest that fiscal policy for South Asian countries is pro-cyclical.

Published: December 2022

Energy security has always been the most crucial objective for nations seeking sustainable economic growth. The present study examined the impact of political institutions on energy security using panel data from 34 high-income countries for the years 2000–2018. To investigate the mechanisms through which political variables affect energy security, the study took into account the roles of economic growth, trade, financial development, and urbanization. For the empirical estimation of the research’s objective, Panel robust Driscoll-Kraay standard error technique and Dumitrescu and Hurlin causality test are used. Empirical findings demonstrated the positive effects of trade, economic growth, and financial development on energy security. Particularly, political institutions have a positive impact on energy security in the sample nations. However, the findings showed urbanization has a negative influence on energy security. Additionally, there is a two-way causal link between trade, financial development, and energy security. The study suggested that more green investment in the energy sector for sustainable development might be a result of strong political institutions.

Published: December 2022

Introduction. La Conférence nationale des doyens a établi une charte éthique et déontologique qui préconise le renforcement des enseignements sur l’information médicale et le risque de perte d’indépendance. La faculté de Saint-Étienne propose des formations aux liens et conflits d’intérêts en troisième cycle de médecine générale. Objectifs. Explorer les perceptions des internes de médecine générale stéphanois de l’influence des firmes, des liens et conflits d’intérêts et leurs souhaits de participation à des formations sur ces thèmes. Mé thodes. Étude qualitative par théorisation ancrée. Entretiens semi-dirigés analysés par catégories, auprès de 18 internes de médecine générale réalisée de décembre 2020 à juin 2021. Résultats. Hormis deux internes formés initialement hors de France, les participant·e·s ont été en contact répété et habituel avec les firmes dès le second cycle, plus souvent en stage hospitalier. Les positions des médecins encadrants ont rarement été discutées au cours du cursus. Majoritairement conscients des techniques d’influence, plusieurs participant·e·s exprimaient un sentiment d’invulnérabilité. Pour leur formation continue professionnelle, certain·e·s gardaient des contacts avec les firmes, d’autres pas. Conclusion. Une formation sur les liens et conflits d’intérêts devrait être effectuée dès le premier cycle des études médicales et réitérée au cours du cursus. Les médecins hospitaliers ou de ville encadrants devraient instaurer un dialogue sur ces thèmes avec les étudiants. Ces propositions pourraient permettre aux étudiants d’exercer leur libre arbitre. Enseigner durant la formation initiale les modalités de formation médicale continue indépendante contribuera à aider leur choix.

Published: December 2022

La pandémie de Covid-19 a montré l’importance de partager rapidement des conclusions scientifiques rigoureuses pour éclairer la prise de décision en santé. Cet article avait pour objectif de proposer une synthèse afin de comprendre et appréhender la méthode de recherche de la revue rapide (RR) en médecine générale. La RR est un type de synthèse des connaissances dont la méthodologie est simplifiée afin de produire des résultats dans un prompt délai. Elle répond à une question de recherche dont la problématique semble urgente, en lien avec des parties prenantes. L’analyse des articles est réalisée en limitant les moyens utilisés tout en obtenant des résultats fiables. Pour cela, différentes étapes sont nécessaires. Les biais méthodologiques existants sont principalement liés à la non-exhaustivité de l’analyse des bases de données. La RR n’a pas pour vocation à remplacer une revue systématique lorsque celle-ci est envisageable, mais elle peut permettre d’obtenir des résultats rapides quand une problématique de santé nécessite une réponse pressante.

Role of Hydrogen in n-Hexane Hydroisomerisation as a Model Reaction for Gasoline Quality Valorization
Authors: Galadima, A.  , Muhammad, R.  , Almustapha, M. N.  , Abubakar, M.
Published: December 2022

Consequent to the current global environmental legislations that enforced the phase-out of dangerous fuel additives with associated pollution problems, other research alternatives for improving fuels quality are investigated. Previously, lead and oxygenates have posed emission dangers that accounted for their complete phase-out in many regions. The emergence of hydroisomerisation as an option presents an opportunity for improving gasoline octane features while eliminating the environmental dangers. We prepared and characterized a noble and cheap catalyst based on β-Mo2C/sulfated zirconia that completely upgraded n-hexane into mono- and di-branched isomers at milder reaction conditions (1 atm, 400oC). The catalyst was 100% selective to n-hexanes at high hydrogen flow rates and recyclable and stable. This way, cheap opportunity for gasoline feed valorization via the hydroisomerisation process became possible.

Būtent šiame tarpsnyje formuojasi asmens tapatumas, supratimas, „kas aš esu“ ir „kuo noriu tapti“. Todėl šios mokslo monografijos autoriai išsikėlė užduotį atskleisti, kaip Lietuvos paauglių socialinė-ekonominė-kultūrinė aplinka atspindi jų raidą bei patyrinėti, ar paauglystėje suformuoti tikslai ir siekiai gali padėti jauniems žmonėms įveikti socialinės nelygybės iššūkius. Kadangi tyrimų, kurie analizuotų psichloginius socialinės nelygybės aspektus ir mechanizmus, pasigendama ir tarptautiniu lygiu, autoriai, siekdami prisidėti prie šios tyrimų krypties plėtros, atliko mokslinį tyrimą, kuriuo išanalizavo skirtingoje aplinkoje augančių paauglių tikslus ir motyvaciją. Autoriams teko iškelti klausimus ir ieškoti į juos atsakymų: kokiu mastu jau paauglystėje tam tikri ateities siekiai yra nulemti aplinkos socialinių, ekonominių, kultūrinių sąlygų? ar visi paaugliai yra „pasirengę kilti“, t. y. turi aiškius tikslus, siekia palankios socialinės padėties ateityje, tiki savo galimybėmis pasiekti asmeninių tikslų? kurie aplinkos aspektai yra svarbiausi paaugliams keliant savo tikslus ir jų siekiant? Ši knyga sudomins skirtingų sričių Lietuvos mokslininkus – tuos, kurie tyrinėja jaunų žmonių raidą, analizuoja socialinės nelygybės reikšmę visuomenės grupėms, siekia suprasti motyvacijos procesus ugdymo kontekste, vertina pagalbos pažeidžiamoms jaunimo grupėms galimybes. Autoriai tikisi, kad toks tyrimo rezultatų pateikimo būdas išplės monografijos auditoriją į švietimo darbuotojų, socialinio darbo specialistų, psichologų, viešosios politikos formuotojų gretas, taip pat atkreips žurnalistų dėmesį į aptariamas problemas ir paskatins platesnę diskusiją visuomenėje apie tai, kokias raidos sąlygas kuriame Lietuvos paaugliams, kaip norime, kad Lietuvoje jaustųsi jauni žmonės, mūsų vaikai, kokią norėtume, kad jie matytų savo ateitį.
Warrior Ethos versus Well-Being: Correcting a Cultural Dichotomy

Published: December 2022

The Army’s warrior mindset, while crucial for being successful in battle, can also lead to chronic suppression of emotions, and hamper help-seeking behavior. Messages to prioritize well-being are often presented in a confusing juxtaposition to the warrior mindset. In spite of the Army’s emphasis on a “People First Strategy,” accompanied by calls to reduce the stigma associated with help-seeking behaviors, the culture of toughness created by the Warrior Ethos continues to be an imposing obstacle for those in need of help. We integrate the Healthy Minds framework with the Army ethos, to focus on the development of foundational skills: mindfulness, connection, insight, and purpose. Our hope is this framework will contribute to a culture that views the Warrior Ethos and well-being as complementary, rather than conflicting, ideas.

Authors: Alkhamisi Khalid
Published: December 2022

Computer systems are extensively being used in today’s era and the advancement in computer systems has led to the evolution of various technologies. As the efficiency of the computer systems is to be enhanced, the usage of cache memory becomes a must. The cache memory problems occur when multiprocessor systems are used. When multiple processors are processors share a common memory pool, the problem of cache coherence occurs. Cache coherence is a state in which the cache memories of the processors must stay in coherence with each other. The data should be updated in all the cache systems. Various protocols are used to ensure cache coherence. This study delineates the cache memory architecture, cache coherence, and the issues that arise due to non-consistent data in the cache of multiprocessor systems.  Moreover, this study also delineates the protocols of the cache coherence and also describes in detail the MISE protocol. This study will provide an in-depth review of cache, cache coherence, and the issues associated with cache coherence along with the solution.

PİYASA DENETİMLERİNDE UYGULANAN İDARİ PARA CEZASI VERİLERİNE İLİŞKİN BİR ANALİZ
Authors: METE Mevlüt Hürol , KARADEMİR Kağan
Published: December 2022

Piyasa gözetimi ve denetimi (PGD) faaliyetleri, temel bir kamu hizmeti olarak ülkemizde dokuz farklı kurum ve kuruluş tarafından yürütülmektedir. Bu kamu hizmetinin uygulanması sırasında mevzuat uyarınca idari yaptırım kararları alınabilmekte, piyasaya güvensiz ürün arz edenlere yönelik idari para cezaları uygulanabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, sanayi ürünlerine yönelik denetim faaliyetlerinden sorumlu olan Sanayi ve Teknoloji Bakanlığı’nın taşra teşkilatını oluşturan 81 il müdürlüğü tarafından uygulanan idari para cezaları incelenmiştir. Buna göre Ocak 2015 ve Aralık 2021 tarihleri arasında yapılan ürün denetimlerine ilişkin işletilen “teknik düzenlemeye aykırılık” ve “güvensizlik” konularına dair idari para cezaları incelenmiş ve uygulanan ceza tutarlarındaki dağılım yapıları mevcut uygulama eksikliklerinin tespit edilmesi amacıyla analiz edilmiştir. PGD faaliyetlerinde etkililiğin artırılması noktasında iller arası uygulama birliğinin sağlanması büyük önem arz etmektedir. Ancak çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular incelendiğinde STB il müdürlükleri tarafından uygulanan idari para cezalarında farklılıklar olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanında uygulanan para cezası miktarları istatistiksel olarak incelendiğinde ortalamanın ceza alt limitlerine yakınsadığı görülmektedir. Bu durum piyasada firmalar arası adaleti sağlamada ve uygunsuzluklara ilişkin caydırıcılığı artırmada engel teşkil etmektedir. Çalışmada söz konusu durumun nedenleri ortaya koyularak il müdürlükleri arasında uygulama birliğinin sağlanmasında iç denetimin rolü tartışılmıştır.
Portugal’s cartographic responsibility in Africa
Authors: Delgado Vicente João Paulo
Published: December 2022

This article covers the safety of navigation in Africa and considers the significant limitations both in the hydrographic surveys of several coastal countries, and the production and updating of nautical charting. This responsibility is internationally assumed by other members of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). In the case of the maritime spaces of the Portuguese-speaking African countries (Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe, Angola and Mozambique) it has been the responsibility of Portugal, through the Hydrographic Institute (IHPT). IHPT ensures the production of their nautical mapping, which includes a structured and regular collection of hydrographic data, carried out under bilateral cooperation agreements. This responsibility is usually designated to a Primary Charting Authority (PCA). Over the last 20 years, IHPT has taken advantage of a number of opportunities to support Portuguese-speaking African countries. This has ensured considerable steps have been taken to improve hydrographic surveys, the production of new nautical cartography and supporting the development of capabilities in marine sciences and techniques. This is currently one of the IHPTs most relevant programs involving a notable effort; the purpose of this article is its dissemination.
Digitilization of academic libraries, a response to the blended mode of teaching in private higher learning institutions in Africa
Authors: Nzeyimana Damien , Mutethia Paul , Gibendi Ruth
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT
Academic libraries are being encouraged to digitalize their services. This idea has been supported with the advent of COVID-19 where health measures are encouraging social distancing and avoiding hand to hand distribution of documents and the limit of face to face contacts. Encouragement is being made to have a full online lectures or blended mode of teaching where there is a mixture of face to face with online courses. The main challenge in this process is that most of core books related to academic courses in libraries are in printed format and accessible only by visiting the library. It is to note that private higher learning institutions in Africa are still facing challenges related to inadequate resources as they do not get governmental finance support. This study aims to review literature on the role of digitalization of academic libraries as a response to the blended mode of teaching. The objective of the study is to investigate challenges faced by academic libraries in private higher learning institutions in Africa that limit them to satisfy their users’ needs through digitization of the library and to propose strategies that can be adopted in order to overcome those challenges. Literature reviewed found out that: The digitalization of library has a great role to play on library users’ needs satisfaction; That academic libraries are facing challenges during the digitalization process, challenges that limit fully adoption the use of internet and the digitalization of libraries in order to satisfy library users’ needs.The study recommends: the management to avail adequate resources to libraries; hiring new personnel and deploying/retraining existing staff in ICT related to library digitalization; Training of library users on the access and use of digitalized library resources; To embrace new technology and move from printed documents accessed physically to digitalized documents accessed through internet in order to meet the users’ needs satisfaction in the age of digitalization of education.
Application of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to evaluate maintenance practices in TVET institutions in Kenya

Published: December 2022

TVET institutions are expected to produce the bulk of Kenya’s middle level manpower equipped with skills to drive the attainment of infrastructural objectives of Kenya Vision 2030. However inadequate training resources brought about by poor management practices continue to impede efforts to equip Kenyan youth with employable technical skills. A programme to re-equip the institutions has been effected but it requires maintenance practices to be aligned with the new acquisitions to ensure they are constantly available for training.  A survey was conducted through a questionnaire to engineering departments to evaluate compliance with maintenance performance indicators (PIs); a 5-point rating scale was used to score responses in the questionnaire that returned a combined Maintenance Management System Effectiveness Index of 0.517. This indicated a need for improvement of maintenance practices. The Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) method was applied which identified predictive maintenance policy as the best one to apply
