The alternative work arrangements implemented in public organizations at the onset of the pandemic influenced both work and life of public servants. The current study explored the advantages of alternative work arrangements adopted by the local government units in Bataan. It also determined the organizational support of the organization to their employees for the continuous effective delivery of services during the pandemic. The study employed a quantitative descriptive study via a survey questionnaire from 200 respondents, recruited through snowball sampling, from the city/municipalities and the provincial government of Bataan. Using inferential statistics, the study analyzed how the advantages of alternative work arrangements and organizational support differ considering the sociodemographic characteristics. Moreover, the study explored the association between alternative work arrangements and organizational support. Results revealed that the alternative work arrangement was relatively advantageous to the employees and that the organization was relatively supportive of the new work setup. No significant difference was observed in the advantages of alternative work arrangements in terms of the socio-demographic profile. While there was no statistical difference in organizational support, respondents with single civil status reported receiving greater support than married ones. A positive moderate correlation was observed between the alternative work arrangements and organizational support. Results indicated that almost twenty percent of the variability in the alternative work arrangement can be explained by the variability in organizational support. The findings contribute to a better understanding of alternative work arrangements and organizational support, as well as practical recommendations for increasing the benefits to employees and maintaining productivity while enjoying work-life balance. Keywords: alternative work arrangement, remote work, organizational support

In a democratic country just like the Philippines, youth have a role in nation-building and must participate in any political activities in accordance with the constitution, which may influence government decision-making in policy-making. Youth participation was seen and evident in the past May 2022 national election and the political issues emerging in the Philippine context. Besides, the country is facing the COVID-19 pandemic that may affect youth’s political participation, which led the researchers to determine the lived experiences and contributing factors that influence them to engage in political matters. The participants were ten selected student-leaders from various clubs at Rizal Technological University who serve as President and Vice President. Semi-structured interviews were used to gather information. The data collected were analyzed through the use of transcendental phenomenology by Edmund Husserl. The findings revealed that the participants conceptualize political participation as freedom of speech, possessing a political stand or opinion, and activism. Freedom of expression and political activism are the activities that they consider a sign of political engagement. Furthermore, social media, education, emerging trends, peers, family, and their interests are the factors that contribute to and influence their political participation. Based on the study findings and conclusions, the researchers propose a campus political awareness action plan, which is composed of three sets of webinar-training programs to strengthen the political awareness of the selected participants, which would be the basis for the school tour extension program. Also, this study was subjected to further studies regarding students’ conceptualization of political participation in the Philippine context to fulfill the research gap.

Accounting Standardization in the Municipality of Elvas: stages and challenges
Authors: Ventura Ricardo , Silva Amélia , Cunha Ana , Oliveira Helena Costa
Published: June 2023

The biggest change of paradigm in the accounting system of the Portuguese public sector, take place in 1997 with the public sector reform, which materialized through the Public Official Accounting Plan. However, despite the important role played by this accounting standard, it could not keep up with international standards or the evolution of accounting in the private sector. These facts along with the multiplicity of accounting systems in the public sector and the strong need for international accounting harmonization, led, in 2015, to the approval of the Public Sector Accounting Standardization System. Thus, the emergence of new challenges in public management was the lever for the most recent reform of public accounting in Portugal operationalized by the Public Sector Accounting Standardization System and the Budgetary Framework Law. This applies to all central, regional, and local government institutions. Among local government institutions, municipalities are the most representative. Their transition from the Official Accounting Plan for Local Authorities to Public Sector Accounting Standardization System was expected to be a long and complex process mainly due to obstacles such as the adaptation of computer systems and the high number of procedures needed. Thus, this study analyzes the conceptual basis and describes the transition stages from the Official Accounting Plan for Local Authorities to Public Sector Accounting Standardization System in a Portuguese municipality. This work follows a qualitative methodology. The case study identified three critical factors for the successful implementation of the Public Sector Accounting Standardization System: human resources with experience and adequate training, adequate information systems, and institutional support from official public entities. This paper contributes to a proper application of the system through theoretical and practical explanation of the processes, at the accounting and technologies levels. By highlighting crucial points in a process of change, this paper also contributes to the success of changing processes in the public sector.

Published: June 2023

This research may be seen in the solar drying of several mature plants. Fruits and vegetables such as peaches and wild mint are grown in a semi-arid region near Quetta, Pakistan. Our research is confined to determining the volume of moisture removed from the distinct items and employing forced convection using three distinct mass flow rates to regulate the pace of the solar dryer, which enables us to further our study and improve the influence of mass flow rate on the quantity of water extracted from the item. A series of mathematical models for different scientists, based on the mathematical connection used, and by determining the constants for each model, which implies that each mass flow correlates to the constants of the five models, and thus the product ultimately influences them in terms of type, shape, and mass. The findings were upgraded, and analyzed the mathematical models of the scientists with our approach, which was likewise quite accurate. We infer that the mass flow rate has an effect on the coefficients of the developed model, and it is an essential component. The model may be used to forecast the moisture content of peach and wild mint during the drying system.

Authors: Khashab Yousra El
Published: June 2023

This study aims at exploring communication practices between students and supervisors in thesis projects. The study conducted a comparison between face-to-face and mediated communication through the use of emails. The researcher used the autobiographical reflection to document examples of information communicated during the two interactions. Furthermore, it utilized semi-structured interviews with three students who were conducting their thesis in the Information Studies Department at Kuwait University. Then, the researcher conducted interviews with four students’ from other masters’ programs. The study used a qualitative method to analyze the results. The findings showed that students used face-to-face meetings and mediated communication to seek different types of information. The topics discussed varied between the face-to-face and mediated interaction. Face-to-face communication was perceived as more effective and productive, while mediated communication was easier and faster. Students used e-mails to set appointments with their supervisors, ask questions and get feedback on assignments. Students faced some communication barriers such as difficulty of sense-making and experiencing the “black-hole” phenomenon. The study suggested applying an electronic supervision system to facilitate students’ communication with their supervisors. This study has practical significance as it helps students and supervisors interact successfully during different thesis writing stages.

Verplichte anticonceptie op basis van de Wvggz en de juridische status van het toekomstige kind

Volgens de Hoge Raad biedt de Wvggz geen wettelijke basis voor verplichte anticonceptie om de belangen van het toekomstige kind te beschermen. Anticonceptie omwille van het toekomstige kind is alleen mogelijk als daar een aparte rechtsgrond voor wordt gecreëerd. Dit werpt de vraag op of het recht überhaupt iets kan met de belangen van het toekomstige kind dat niet geboren wordt.

The symbolic game in the elaboration of mourning for the child of early childhood education
Authors: Disner Gabriela da Silva , Carvalho Luciana Ramos Rodrigues de , Moraes Marcela Cristina de
Published: June 2023

Early childhood education, an essential stage for human development, enables the establishment of socio-affective relationships and bonds beyond the family environment, favoring the construction of the notion of individual and social identity, a process in which the child must be respected as a person in formation in its integrality. However, the character of the inseparability of aspects of human development has only been considered in recent decades in the educational process and by the guiding documents of Brazilian education. The BNCC, in addition to reaffirming the link between educating and caring, arranged among the general competencies to be developed throughout basic education, the socio-emotional ones. Jean Piaget (1896-1980) in his broad trajectory of studies about child development, researched how the child constructs reality, considering the social, cognitive, physical, and affective aspects. In a constant process of assimilation and accommodation to the world, the child experiences unbalanced situations and can use the symbolic game as a means of compensating and/or settling conflicts, including dealing with one of the most challenging experiences that human beings can experience, the death of a loved one. In this article, we will present a case report addressing a situation of affective loss experienced by a 5-year-old child in the context of early childhood education, and how she re-elaborated and expressed her feelings through symbolic play. The theme has great relevance, especially in the pandemic context, in which educators have been challenged to welcome and assist students in the elaboration of their emotions and feelings.

O cultivo de milho verde é uma atividade que vem despertando interesse por ser uma alternativa de grande valor econômico, principalmente para pequenos e médios produtores. A irrigação proporciona aos produtores demanda o ano todo e agregação de renda. Entretanto, a água vem se tornando um recurso escasso e é preciso estudos que traga orientações para o seu uso racional. A densidade de semeadura é uma das técnicas de manejo mais estudas no milho uma vez que tem papel importante no rendimento de uma lavoura. Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o desempenho do milho verde submetido a diferentes lâminas de irrigação e densidades de semeadura. O experimento foi conduzido na área experimental da Universidade Federal de Alagoas (UFAL) – Campus de Arapiraca, AL. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados, em um esquema de parcelas subdivididas 5 x 5, sendo três blocos, cinco lâminas de irrigação (0; 50; 100; 150 e 200% da ETc.) e cinco densidades de semeadura (83,3; 62,5; 50; 41,6 e 35,7 mil plantas/ha-1). Após a colheita foram avaliadas as seguintes variáveis: diâmetro da espiga com palha (D.E.C.P), diâmetro da espiga sem palha (D.E.S.P), peso fresco da espiga com palha (P.F.E.C.P), peso fresco da espiga sem palha (P.F.E.S.P), comprimento da espiga com palha (C.E.C.P), comprimento da espiga sem palha (C.E.S.P), produtividade da espiga com palha (P.E.C.P) e produtividade da espiga sem palha (P.E.S.P). Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância aplicando-se o teste de Tukey (p<0,05) para comparação das médias entre os blocos e regressão linear e polinomial para os fatores lâmina de irrigação, densidades de semeadura e suas interações. Verificou-se que não houve efeito significativo para a interação dos fatores lâminas de irrigação e densidades de semeadura. A densidade de semeadura proporcionou incremento para as variáveis comprimento da espiga com palha (C.E.C.P) e sem palha (C.E.S.P) e produtividade da espiga com palha (P.E.C.P) e sem palha (P.E.S.P) obtendo os maiores valores na densidade de 41,6 plantas/ha-1 para os comprimentos e na densidade 83,3 plantas/ha-1 para as produtividades. As lâminas de irrigação só não influenciaram significativamente para variável comprimento da espiga com palha (C.E.C.P), obtendo os maiores valores nas maiores lâminas para as demais variáveis.

Context: In an emergency situation such as the current COVID-19 pandemic and the absence of effective treatment, medicinal plants constitute an alternative solution to strengthen immunity, combat and prevent this disease and reduce related sickness. Aims: To determine the ethnobotanical knowledge of medicinal plants used in confirmed cases of COVID-19 and the satisfaction of the latter, thanks to the use of the associative database. Methods: An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in the Taza region among confirmed cases of COVID-19 and their contacts. For this purpose, a questionnaire was distributed to participants. Quantitative analysis was used to assess ethnobotanical knowledge with the use, for the first time, of a method of artificial intelligence: the association rule, to determine participant satisfaction according to the different variables studied. Results: A total of 222 patients, distributed equally in rural and urban areas, participated in the study and indicated the use of 17 species belonging to nine botanical families. Lamiaceae was the most used family, and leaves were the most used part and were prepared in the form of infusion. The rule of association demonstrated strong satisfaction with using these plants among the participants, especially the positive cases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ethnobotanical survey in the Taza province (Morocco). Conclusions: This work provides ethnobotanical information on plants used to treat and prevent COVID-19 for positive cases and their contacts. It would be interesting to confirm their usefulness and efficacy through experimental studies.

INDOT plans to invest nearly $100 million to build a statewide electric vehicle (EV) charging network as part of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program. SPR-4509 Phase-I identified energy EV charging deserts in Indiana for long-distance trips. SPR-4509 Phase-II further examines the charging stations' impact on EV long-distance trips in Indiana. Using an agent-based simulation model, the number of charges, vehicle miles traveled, energy used during the trip, and energy used during charging were estimated for nine different cases. High EV daily charging demand areas in Indiana were shown in ArcGIS based on multiple scenarios of different charging station construction phases and EV market penetration rates. The study findings can inform the state’s EV charging plan development.

Authors: Kumbhar Smita , Bhatia Manish
Published: June 2023

The full range of glycoconjugates made up of glycans, or carbohydrate chains, that are covalently joined to lipid or protein molecules is known as the glycome. Glycoconjugates are created, through the process of glycosylation (vary in length, glycan sequence, and the connections that connect them). The creation of therapies can now take advantage of new knowledge about the structure and operation of the glycome, which may enhance our capacity to control inflammation and immune responses, maximize the efficacy of therapeutic antibodies, and enhance immune responses to cancer. These instances highlight the promise of the young discipline of “glycomedicine.” The prevalence of glycoconjugates in nature and their significance in various biological processes have prompted the development of numerous synthesizing techniques for these molecules. Today, synthetic glycoconjugates are utilized to address a wide range of biological concerns linked to glycoconjugates. This study seeks to update earlier reviews on the topic as well as gather and compile the most recent developments in the fields of glycopeptide, glycoprotein, and glycolipid synthesis. Finally, we hope that this study may stimulate fruitful research in this significant area of medicinal chemistry by highlighting the triumphs and shortcomings of prior research.
