Authors: Saxena Shikha , Afolabi-Brown Olufunke , Ballester Lance , Schmucker Nathaniel , Smith-Whitley Kim , Allen Julian , Bhandari Anita
Published: May 2021

Objective: Asthma is a recognized comorbidity in children with sickle
cell disease (SCD). It increases risk of acute chest syndrome (ACS),
vaso-occlusive episodes, and early mortality. We aim to determine
whether evaluation and management of children with sickle cell disease
(SCD) and asthma by a pulmonologist reduces rate of asthma exacerbation
and ACS. Methods: The study included 192 patients with SCD (0-21 years)
followed at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Hematology between
01/01/2015 and 12/31/2018 with a diagnosis of asthma, wheeze, or cough.
Patients were placed in two groups: those evaluated by a pulmonologist
(SCD-A-P) and those not (SCD-A). Rates of emergency department (ED)
visits and hospitalizations for asthma exacerbation and ACS were
compared between groups and before/after initial pulmonology visit.
Results: SCD-A-P (n=70) had lower baseline pulmonary function,
hemoglobin, and hematocrit compared to SCD-A (n=122). SCD-A-P had a
higher average rate of hospital visits for asthma exacerbation and ACS
per year compared to SCD-A: 0.84 [0.56-1.12] versus 0.31
[0.18-0.43], (p<0.001). For SCD-A-P patients with at least
one hospital visit (n=48), the average rate decreased from 3.93
[1.57-6.29] before initial pulmonary visit to 0.85 [0.48-1.23]
after the visit (p=0.014). Conclusion: SCD-A-P had more severe baseline
disease and higher rates of ED visits and hospitalizations for asthma
exacerbation and ACS compared to SCD-A, but the rates significantly
decreased following pulmonology consultation. These findings support the
pulmonologist’s role in the multidisciplinary care of SCD patients.
Further studies are needed to help establish evidence-based asthma
guidelines for children with SCD.
The existence of nontrivial solutions for a critically coupled Schr\”{o}dinger system in a bounded domain of $\R^3$
Authors: Ye Hongyu , Zhang Lina
Published: May 2021

In this paper, we consider the following coupled
Schr\”{o}dinger system with doubly critical exponents,
which can be seen as a counterpart of the Brezis-Nirenberg problem
$$\left\{%
\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta
u+\lambda_1 u=\mu_1 u^5+
\beta u^2v^3, &
\hbox{$x\in \Omega$},
\\ -\Delta
v+\lambda_2 v=\mu_2 v^5+
\beta v^2u^3, &
\hbox{$x\in \Omega$},
\\ u=v=0,&
\hbox{$x\in
\partial\Omega$},
\\ \end{array}%
\right.$$ where $\Omega$ is a ball in
$\R^3,$
$-\lambda_1(\Omega)<\lambda_1,\lambda_2<-\frac14\lambda_1(\Omega)$,
$\mu_1,\mu_2>0$ and
$\beta>0$. Here
$\lambda_1(\Omega)$ is the first
eigenvalue of $-\Delta$ with Dirichlet boundary
condition in $\Omega$. We show that the problem has at
least one nontrivial solution for all
$\beta>0$.

What is leadership
Authors: Abson Emma
Published: May 2021

Nearly 100 years of leadership studies have resulted in a large body of literature that suggests that leadership matters in all aspects of life. Studies have also shown that soft skills, such as leadership, are key to continued success in complex, fast changing organisations, and in a variety of managerial contexts. The nature of leadership within organisations and the styles of leadership required for specific business management roles have frequently been studied and there is a broad consensus that leadership matters in a range of managerial positions including event project management, tourism and hospitality management, human resources and a variety of other senior organisational roles. Leadership practices are essential for the development of successful event managers and leadership in planned events and event tourism therefore cannot be ignored.
Knowledge and event leadership (Jane Tattersall)
Authors: Tattersall Jane
Published: May 2021

The aim of this chapter is to explain the value and management of different types of knowledge in an events or music festival business setting, where its potential to maximise profit and help an organisation to outperform its rivals has received less attention in academic literature than other sectors such as manufacturing or information technology. Competition in the events and festivals sectors has increased considerably as more companies join the market, and the nature and scope of events has widened to satisfy consumer appetites for more diverse and engaging experiences. Leaders that nurture, recognise, manage and employ knowledge effectively are more likely to be innovative and successful in their sector. Throughout the chapter, knowledge is explored mostly through the lens of music festivals, although the points made are easily applicable to the wider events, tourism and leisure sectors.
The new wave of leadership studies
Authors: Abson Emma
Published: May 2021

In their comprehensive review of leadership research, Dionne et al. (2014) identify 29 different thematic categories of leadership theories, developed over 100 years; 17 are ‘classic’ leadership categories, and 12 are classified as emerging. Dinh et al. (2014) note seven emerging theories in their review and in their examination of recent theoretical and empirical developments, while Avolio, Walumbwa and Weber (2009) note 13 significant areas of new inquiry into leadership. These studies indicate that there has been a focus shift in leadership studies, which represents a diversification of thinking around how leadership occurs, and what leadership actually is. In particular, scholars have begun to focus on the moral nature of leaders, suggesting that leaders now need to be concerned with issues of ethics and morality (Lemoine, Hartnell & Leroy, 2019).
Events, leadership and power
Authors: Abson Emma
Published: May 2021

A criticism of many of the conceptualisations of leadership is that they tend to focus on the positive nature of leadership and ignore the issues of power, influence and domination (Bolden, 2011). This really is a key criticism, because when you think about it, how can leadership be untangled from the power dynamics that occur within and around it? Despite the rise in viewing leadership as an influence process, as charted in Chapters 3,4 and 5 of this book, leadership in events is still often attributed to those in formal positions of power – by that I mean those in managerial positions, who have the power to make decisions about their followers working lives, and even – at the extreme end – decide to terminate people’s employment. Critics such as Bolden (2011), Alvesson and Spicer (2012) argue that when leadership is the preserve of those in managerial positions, then the dynamics of who holds the power in the relationships are always unequal, and it is impossible to overcome these inequalities, because one person is always in a stronger position than the other. This chapter therefore gives the reader a brief overview on the power of leaders in events, and an insight into both the benefits and issues of that power. A second level of concern is also leadership within the events community – who is it that brings people and organisations together? What does it take to achieve effective collaboration among events and between events and other key stakeholders? This might be a matter of individual leaders taking charge, but equally it could be that leadership emerges from specific network dynamics. In viewing leadership as both a process of influence and a process of power, we can gain useful insights into the power relationships that may be at work.
Relational and Practice Based Knowledge Management
Authors: Stadler Raphaela
Published: May 2021

As mentioned in Chapter 3, knowledge is by many seen as an entity or an object that can be possessed by people but can also exist completely independently of people. This objectivist perspective on knowledge, however, has over the years been critiqued a lot, and a different approach to knowledge management, or even a different understanding of knowledge itself has emerged: knowledge, or as some prefer to say – ‘knowing’ or ‘know-how’, is now regarded as a practice and it is therefore inseparable from human beings (Gherardi, 2000; Orlikowski, 2002; Hislop et al., 2018). Hislop et al. (2018) refer to this as the practice-based perspective on knowledge, whereby engaging in practices means that people do not just engage in cognitive processes, but in more holistic processes involving the whole body. It is based on the assumption that knowledge is not an object, but rather it is multi-faceted and complex, explicit and tacit at the same time, individual and distributed, situated and abstract, mental and physical, static and constantly developing and evolving (Blackler, 1995). Knowledge in itself therefore cannot be managed; rather, the management of knowledge can to some extent be supported and facilitated by collaboration and interpersonal communication.
Knowledge Management Activities, Models and Frameworks
Authors: Stadler Raphaela
Published: May 2021

The knowledge-based theory of the firm is centred on two key principles: first, knowledge can be a source of competitive advantage, especially if it is difficult to replicate and copy, if it is organisation-specific, and directly related to the organisation’s products, services or processes. Second, the sharing of information and knowledge within organisations is believed to be more effective than within markets (Hislop et al., 2018). Furthermore, if knowledge is considered the most important asset for achieving competitive advantage in an organisation (where competencies, capabilities and skills are more important than other types of assets and resources), then the organisation can be defined as ‘knowledge intensive’. Or, as Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995: 7) famously argued, “the future belongs to people who use their heads instead of their hands.” Knowledge-intensive firms can be described as companies with work that is intellectual and where the workforce consists of well-qualified employees. They can also be different to other, non-knowledge-intensive firms, in terms of their structure (i.e., less hierarchical), the character of their workforce, products and services (e.g., non-standardised products, high quality services, such as memorable experiences), as well as the nature of the work processes themselves (i.e., complex, creative, requiring collaboration between different teams and departments) (Alvesson & Kaerreman, 2001; Hislop et al., 2018). Taking these characteristics into account, event organisations can to some extent be classified as ‘knowledge-intensive’ and it is therefore important to effectively manage knowledge management activities and processes within these organisations.
Consumer perception of service quality The case of Airbnb and Couchsurfing
Authors: Dewitte Marie , Mallargé Jérôme , Decrop Alain
Published: May 2021

Recent economic, social and environmental concerns have drawn attention to the necessity to rethink our consumption patterns (Barnes & Mattsson, 2016) and call for alternative forms of consumption. In parallel, digitalization dramatically changes the way we live, work, consume and travel (OECD, 2020). As a result, new consumption practices have emerged in the last years, privileging access over ownership (Botsman & Rogers, 2010). Those practices, labelled as sharing economy or collaborative consumption (Belk, 2014; Benoit et al., 2017; Botsman & Rogers, 2010), involve most of the time peer-to-peer exchanges (for a fee or for free) that are coordinated through community-based online services (Hamari, Sjoklint & Ukkonen, 2016). Such collaborative services have recently boomed, impacting many sectors, including the hospitality and tourism industry (Sigala, 2017), with well-known initiatives such as Airbnb or Couchsurfing. Peer-to-peer accommodation services are transforming the tourism industry (PWC, 2015) by enabling consumers to share and access goods escaping traditional services like hotels and travel agencies. According to Hotrec (2014), peer-to-peer accommodation is twice bigger than the conventional tourism accommodation industry in Europe. The World Bank Group estimates a 31% annual growth of this new accommodation type between 2013 and 2025, which is six times bigger than the annual growth of the conventional bed and breakfast and hotel industry. In total, peer-topeer accommodation makes up about 7% of accommodation worldwide (Bakker & Twining-Ward, 2018). Two of the most sucessful sharing economy unicorns, AirBnB and Couchsurfing, have very different business models. Airbnb is an online peer-to-peer marketplace that matches hosts wishing to share their home with travelers (i.e. guests) who are looking for accommodation. Valued at 38 billion USD (Forbes, 2018), Airbnb has more than 60 million customers and around two million accommodations in the world (OECD, 2016). At the opposite, Couchsurfing is a free online hospitality exchange network that connects travelers looking for a place to sleep with people offering their ‘couch’ for a couple of nights. The community gathers around ten million members around the world.

Como resultado, as variáveis do modelo (estatisticamente significativas) como determinantes na conduta daquela mulher entrevistada, que disse praticar uma religião antes de ter sido presa, foram: pais casados; trabalhava; teve filhos na adolescência; e anos de estudo. Esta mulher, praticante de uma religião, com uma dita trava moral, não distinguiu princípios ou valores quando seu interesse pecuniário prevaleceu em um ato ilícito
Unravelling the Queer Space: Understanding Sexuality through the Works of Janice Pariat
Authors: Sajan Neha Grace
Published: May 2021

The project entitled “Unravelling the queer space: Understanding sexuality through the works of Janice Pariat” to examine the elements of sexual being from a queer perspective. There is always a politics that happens within the space of one’s sexual and spiritual prominence. Thereby, a binary construction always happens and a stereotypical connotation happens for the same. Homosexuality is always subjected to suppression and non-normative within the society that upholds homophobia, heteronormativity and hetero-centrism. These are the results of the culturally imposed norms on the society. Understanding the deviance that happens in one’s sexuality is an important area of concern. Talking about these aspects free from bias and prejudice is the freedom that can be gained. Society always has a violent approach towards people who deviate from the accepted norms leading to marginalization. One of the important factors that sideline with this idea is the impact of religion on an individual. Spiritual space and belief system are induced right from the childhood. Religious texts clearly define sexualities that deviate from the expected norms as abnormal or a taboo. The study is to break down the binary existence of one’s sexual and spiritual space and how the deviance in sexualities pave way to attain a new spiritual growth.
Reimagining the Post-COVID 19 World: A Critique of Arundhati Roy’s Azadi . Freedom. Fascism. Fiction.
Authors: Kurishumoottil Manalil Judith Sebastian
Published: May 2021

Arundhati Roy’s Azadi . Freedom.  Fascism. Fiction. (2020) is a clarion call to the world at large and India in particular to break the shackles of obsoleteness, and reimagine a new and improved world. This wakeup call has been prompted by the pandemic which has brought the entire globe down on its knees. It has forced humankind to question the values that modern societies have been built on – all that they have chosen to venerate and those they have derided. COVID-19 has ridiculed borders: geographical, political, economic and cultural. The pandemic for Roy is a “portal, a gateway between one world and the next” (214). This anthology consists of 9 essays/ lectures written between 2018-2020. They are all linked together as they yield insights into how the world should be recreated. This paper attempts to critically assess the diverse ways in which Roy seeks to reinvent the world post -pandemic.

Published: May 2021

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the effectiveness of models of training students in pedagogical specialties based on the theory of constructivism. The research methodology is based on a survey of students on the acquisition of knowledge in the learning process on the example of universities in Ukraine and Poland. The results of the study demonstrate the formation of students' knowledge in the process of organizing learning based on the methods of pedagogical constructivism. Students of the experimental group demonstrate a higher level of activity if the teacher uses communication and trust-oriented teaching methods. The scientific value of this research lies in the possibility of using the results of student surveys by teachers of pedagogical universities to understand which elements of constructivist pedagogy should be used to increase the efficiency of the educational process.

Family Chronicle Traditions in Contemporary Far Eastern Literature
Authors: Alexandrova-Osokina О. N.
Published: May 2021

The questions of the content and genre poetics of the works of the Khabarovsk writers V. V. Sukachev (“At the hearth”) and T. I. Gladkikh (“Amur Cossacks Korenevs”) are considered. The relevance ofthe study is due to the value of the literary and regional studies material for the formation of a holistic picture of the national historical and literary process. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the work of the named authors has practically not been studied, and their works, considered in the article, for the first time became the subject of literary study. Attention is paid to the themes and problems of the works that reveal the tragic events of the national history of the twentieth century: the deportation of the Russian (Crimean) Germans in 1941; post-revolutionary fate of the Amur Cossacks. The experience of analyzing the genre specificity of works connecting family chronicle, parable, fictionalized biography, memoirs is presented. Comparative analysis of the works made it possible to reveal the commonality of the organization of plot and compositional elements inherent in the genre of family chronicles. Particular attention was paid to the specificity of the author’s approach in the artistic processing of historical and biographical material (methods of aestheticization and fictionalization of documentary material, the embodiment of the author’s image, describing the fate of generations, creating the image of the “ancestor”, the use of symbolism). In the process of analysis, the idea was substantiated that the works have a pronounced value component, asserting the absolute value of the human person.

The novelty of the work is in the fact that for the first time in I. A. Goncharov’s works study, the peculiarities of the poetics of the title in the works of I. A. Goncharov of small and medium genre epic forms, are examined. The relevance of the article is due to the fact that the study of the title, the identification of its typological models will allow to describe the patterns in the artistic system of I. A. Goncharov. A classification of the titles of the writer’s works written in non-novel genre forms is proposed. The classification is based on the dominant structural and semantic features of the titles of the writer’s non-novel fictional prose. The question of the semantics of titles is raised in the article, the attention is paid to their linguistic features. Some questions of the functional interaction of the title with the main text are considered. It is noted that the analysis of various types of titles in the works of I. A. Goncharov showed the importance of this component in the poetics of the writer. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the analysis of the title allows not only to consider the position of the “total” author, but also to explore many aspects of the writer's poetics: frame text, subject matter, composition, genre, style, narrative system, language.
Little-Known Page of Co-Creation of Ch. Dickens and W. Collins: Novel “No Exit”
Authors: Osmukhina O. Yu. , Tanaseichuk A. B.
Published: May 2021

The article is devoted to comprehending the creative cooperation of the outstanding Victorians Ch. Dickens and W. Collins, who were co-authors for a decade and a half, as well as to the study of the peculiarities of the novel “No Exit”, which was not republished in Russia from the end of the 19th century until 2021 and was virtually unknown to the Russian-speaking reader. The relevance of the article is due to the need to build a coherent and consistent history of the development of English literature of the Victorian epoch in the domestic literary consciousness, an important part of which is the legacy of its masters, as well as the elimination of gaps in the creative biography of the largest figures of Victorianism. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time in Russian English studies a gap in the reception of the creative tandem of Ch. Dickens and W. Collins has been filled: the key studies of their heritage have been comprehended; the history of their creative union has been studied; the novel “No Exit” in the context of the creative biography of Ch. Dickens and W. Collins was analyzed; the features of the generic (interweaving of epic and dramatic elements) and genre synthesis (combination of gothic, detective, adventure beginning) of the novel are revealed. The authors of the article used comparative historical, biographical, sociocultural methods, as well as the method of holistic analysis of a work of art.
State budget of USSR in 1950s — 80s: dynamics and structure of expenditures
Authors: Bakanov S. A.
Published: May 2021

The structure of the state budget expenditure of the USSR in its historical dynamics during the 1950s — 1980s is considered. The sources were statistical collections published by the Ministry of Finance of the USSR in the period under review, on their basis the electronic database “State Budget of the USSR” was created, according to which all the calculations presented in the article were carried out. It is noted that the dynamics of the state budget expenditures of the USSR during the entire period of the 1950s — 80s was positive. It is indicated that there was a constant increase in expenditures, which had an average annual value of about 6.5 %; in total, during the period under study, the expenditure part of the state budget increased by 11.6 times, and in per capita terms only by 7.3 times. It is shown that the structure of expenditures of the state budget of the USSR in the 1950s — 1980s included expenditures on the national economy, social and cultural events, public administration and defense. The author concludes that the construction of a welfare state in the USSR in the 1950s — 1970s, along with the burden of military spending, became a heavy burden on the budget system, limiting the government’s room for maneuver in the context of the budget crisis that broke out in the second half of the 1980s.
Solution of “Aukhov problem” in Dagestan in Late 1980s — Early 1990s
Authors: Zhuchenko V. S. , Malykhin K. G.
Published: May 2021

The author considers the decisions of the state authorities at the all-Union and republican levels on the settlement of the “Aukhov problem” in Dagestan during the period of perestroika 1985— 1991. The authors identified the conflicts in Chapaevo in 1985 and in Novokuli in 1989 as the key points of the problem. The focus of the study includes all parties to the conflict: representatives of government bodies, public structures (organizations, fronts, movements), the media and ethnic minorities (Chechens-Akkins, Laks, Avars, Kumyks). A retrospective method of historical research is used: the sequence of actions of all parties to the conflict, the cause-and-effect relationships of existing contradictions are studied. The authors concluded that, despite the containment of the conflict within certain limits, it still turned into aggressive physical and political forms of confrontation. It is pointed out that the actions of the authorities were often thoughtful and consistent, but were protracted and slow. Separately, the prolongation of preventive measures and the lack of mechanisms to resist the already erupted conflict are noted. In conclusion, it is emphasized that the problem remains unresolved to the present, therefore it is important to study and analyze the experience and mistakes of the past.

Published: May 2021

The article analyzes the autobiographical graphic novel of the Slovenian artist, illustrator and performer Samira Kentrić (b. 1976) “Balkanalia: growing up in the age of transition” (2015), in particular the hybrid nature of the genre of this work and its poetics. In this example, the genre incorporates elements of autobiographical comics strip, comics book about the war (in Bosnia), family album, graphic poetry, political illustration, philosophical parable, etc. Visual and textual narratives are designed to reflect the transculturality, the hybridity of the space of the former Yugoslavia, the territory between Bosnia and Slovenia, the two homelands of the protagonist, which became separate states during her growing up. The aesthetic layers are including images of classical artistic heritage, surrealism, popular, ethnic culture, as well as subcultural references (rock and punk music, graffiti), which the artist transforms into a unique fusion through postmodern techniques of irony and deconstruction.

The article deals with A. Kibovskyʼs attributation of the portrait of M.L. Dubelt. A version is proposed about the possible author of the portrait, stored in the State Hermitage. Based on M.L. Dubeltʼs recollections held at the Russian State Military Historical Archive, it can be assumed that the author of the portrait was not G.G. Gagarin, as previously thought, but V.F. Timm, whom Dubelt met in the autumn of 1849.
Precariat: from a proto-class to a new class. Review of the monograph of Zh.T. Toshchenko
Authors: Kozin S. V.
Published: May 2021

As you know, the study of the past, present and such a vague future of society (and its number of classes) still attracts the gaze of many representatives of the scientific academic society (including colleagues in the sociological workshop). This article is a review of the monograph of corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Zh.T. Toshchenko “Precariat: from the proto-class to the new class”, published in 2018 by “Nauka” publishing house. The monograph allows the reader to feel how rapidly the socio-class structure of foreign, Soviet, and then Russian society was changing. In it, Zh.T. Toshchenko clearly reflects the historical aspects of the development and functioning of a new social class — the “precariat”. The conclusion is proved that the precariat does not have a clear vision of its future, confidence in the security of its personal life and the guarantee of a quiet old age at the end of employment. An impressive number of foreign and domestic statistical data further confirms the conclusions of reasonable Zh.T. Toshchenko. In the future, the author of the monograph explores the consequences of the existence and functioning of this new social-class phenomenon.
Introduction: Planning theories from 'southern turn' to 'deeply rooted/situated in the South/context'
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Chandrima , Hammami Feras , Watson Vanessa
Published: May 2021

Over the years a growing number of planning and urban theorists located in, or writing on, planning and urban theories in the global South have argued that theories emerged on the basis of assumptions within a northern context that do not ‘fit’ or are not applicable in global South contexts (Rao 2006; Ferguson 2006; Watson 2009; Roy 2009; Myers 2011; Parnell and Robinson 2012). Hence, they maintain, there is a need to rethink the northern bias in planning and urban theory and to develop new concepts, ideas, vocabularies and practices from southern perspectives. McFarlane (2008) uses the term ‘southern turn’ in urban studies, while arguing that productive comparisons across contexts constitute an epistemological transformation in urban theory. He uses the term ‘urban shadow’ to explain how southern cities are considered marginal and on the ‘edges’ of a predominantly Euro-American oriented urban theory canon (McFarlane 2004; 2008). Rao dwells on Amin & Thirft’s (2002) Cities: Reimagining the Urban to develop her ‘slum as theory’ wherein she critically reflects on the dominant discourses that inform and guide planning and urban theory. In 2009, Watson (2009), a scholar based in the South, introduced the idea of ‘seeing from the south’ to explain the need for context-rooted theory development. Yiftachel (2006) introduced a South-Eastern approach instead to break the binary of North-South and East-West. Roy (2009) calls for new geographies of ‘imagination and epistemologies’, as dominant theorizations are based on Euro-American experience, and are unable to capture the grounded reality of the global South.

La evaluación varía según la metodología y alumnado al que va dirigido el proceso de enseñanza, ya que esta se adapta a su contexto y nivel de instrucción. En relación con el objeto de nuestro estudio, los SPOC (del inglés Small Private Online Course), mantienen diferentes variaciones en cuanto a los modelos e instrumentos de evaluación. La forma de evaluar en los SPOC varía según el alumnado al que va dirigido el curso, el propio diseño del SPOC y el enfoque que el propio docente quiera darle.  El objetivo principal de esta investigación es analizar los modelos e instrumentos de evaluación que se implementan en los SPOC. Se pretende comprender como se desarrolla la evaluación en los SPOC, a través de las líneas de investigación más actuales. Para ello, la investigación se ha llevado a cabo a través de un estudio teórico de la bibliografía actual y especifica en la materia. Los resultados reflejan una preferencia, en lo que respecta a la finalidad, por la evaluación sumativa. En relación con el momento de recogida de información, la evaluación inicial junto con la final, son los modelos más utilizados. En cuanto al agente evaluador, la autoevaluación es el modelo más implementado. Entre los instrumentos, las autoevaluaciones y las pruebas tipo test son las herramientas más implementadas para recoger evidencias sobre el proceso de aprendizaje. Como conclusión, pese a que las características pedagógicas de los SPOC favorecen la adopción de unos modelos e instrumentos de evaluación, el acuerdo sobre modelos y herramientas de evaluación queda subordinado a la intención concreta de cada SPOC.
Constructivist-Based Learning on Students Psycho-Productive Skills Performance in Agricultural Science

Published: May 2021

Constructivist-based approaches to teaching typically make extensive use of problem-based learning (PBL) and learning-by-doing (LBD) which were used to investigate their effects on psycho-productive skills in Agricultural science in secondary school. The research design adopted was a pre-test, post-test, non-randomised control group quasi-experimental. The sample comprised eighty-four students from three schools (intact classes) with thirty-one, twenty-three and thirty in experimental 1, 2 and control groups respectively. The Psycho-productive Skills Performance Test (PSPT) and Psycho-productive Skills Performance Rating Scale (PSPRS) were the two instruments developed by the researchers and administered as pre and post tests. The PSPT was subjected to content validity and item analysis, its reliability test through spilt-half method gave a co-efficient value of 0.74 and for the PSPRS, using Cohen’s Kappa statistic when subjected to inter-rater reliability it gave a value of 0.84. The data collected were analysed with the use of frequency counts, percentages, mean, standard deviation, t-test and ANOVA. The results reveal significant effect of instructional strategy on psycho-productive skills performance in Agricultural Science. Furthermore, it shows no significant effect of parents’ education level on the students’ psycho-productive skills performance in Agricultural Science. Arising from the findings, it was recommended among others that PBL and LBD learning strategies should be incorporated in the teacher education programmes as part of their training.

Authors: Dulău Mircea , Sasu Delia Bianca
Published: May 2021

The problem of designing conventional controllers is a major concern in both academia and industry. The paper presents the implementation of a Matlab interface that facilitates the students’ understanding of the closed-loop control systems operation. There are four operating scenarios: with controllers for which the parameters are known; with controllers for which parameters are determined experimentally; with proportional controllers and additional poles/zeros introduction; with proportional controllers and serial compensator.
Efficiency Analysis of Deeplearning4J Neural Network Classifiers in Development of Transition Based Dependency Parsers
Authors: Csépányi-Fürjes László , Kovács László
Published: May 2021

Dependency parsing is a complex process in natural language text processing, text to semantic transformation. The efficiency improvement of dependency parsing is a current and an active research area in the NLP community. The paper presents four transition-based dependency parser models with implementation using DL4J classifiers. The efficiency of the proposed models were tested with Hungarian language corpora. The parsing model uses a data representation form based on lightweight embedding and a novel morphological-description-vector format is proposed for the input layer. Based on the test experiments on parsing Hungarian text documents, the proposed list-based transitions parsers outperform the widespread stack-based variants.
How to Bring About Change – A Literature Review About Education and Learning Activities for Sustainable Development
Authors: Algurén Beatrix
Published: May 2021

Sustainable development and transformational change have become more critical than ever in the era of climate change. The aim of this literature review was to increase knowledge on education and learning activities (ELAs), along with the learning outcomes they address, in the context of higher education for sustainable development (SD) with UNESCO’s eight core competencies for SD as a starting point. The search was conducted in two educational databases, Education Research Complete and the Education Resource Information Center. 153 articles were identified, of which 16 remained after reviewing for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Education and learning activities in ESD were grounded in discussions, reflections and interdisciplinarity by using participatory teaching methods, such as problem-based or experiential learning. Commonly enhanced learning outcomes were knowledge, attitude and collaboration competencies, as well as critical and system thinking. Self-awareness and behavior change, however, were less frequently achieved and the studies addressing behavior frequently recognized inertia to behavior change, despite transferred attitudes and increased knowledge. Although UNESCO outlined behavioral learning objectives as particularly important for ESD, the present review revealed that these had hardly been reached by the used ELA. The paper discusses the complexity of behavior change and proposes an ethics-led and whole-institution approach to tackle some challenges for behavioral action and social activity. There is a need for new educational and learning activities, which have greater transformational potential, by acknowledging the complexity of behavior change.
21st Century Skills for Sustainable Education: Prediction Level of Teachers’ Information Literacy Skills on Their Digital Literacy Skills
Authors: Gündüzalp Seda
Published: May 2021

The current digital environment offers a unique access opportunity to information, tools, and sources for teachers to educate and teach using digital. It is vital for teachers, who have important roles to raise future generations, to have information literacy and digital literacy skills. It is essential that teachers who educate individuals raised with a technology called the Z generation to have both, information literacy and digital literacy skills. Within this context, the present study aims to define the relationship between information literacy skills and digital literacy skills of teachers in the age of digitalization, in which the transformation has been experienced in the education sector. A cross-sectional survey was used within this study, which was prepared according to the quantitative research paradigm. The research includes random and disproportionate cluster sampling methods and focuses on teachers who worked in a preschool, or in primary, secondary and high schools in the Eastern and Southeast Anatolia Regions in the 2018–2019 academic year. Structural equation modeling was used to determine to what extent teachers’ information literacy skills predict their digital literacy skills. The relationship between the teachers’ information literacy and digital literacy skills was calculated using Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and the frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean, and standard deviation values of the data collected from teachers through scales were calculated. As a result of the analysis, one of the results is that the teachers’ information literacy skills affect their digital literacy skills positively.
