IMPLEMENTATION OF SCHOOL INFORMATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT IN THE USE OF DIGITAL RESOURCES
Authors: Melan Nur Meilani
Published: May 2024

However, it requires management to manage this on a regular basis. In the current digital era, many schools have turned to information system management and integrated digital resources. On the other hand, although digital resources and information technology are growing, there are still shortcomings in their utilization. Many schools are limited in managing information systems, as well as limited in their understanding of technology. This study aims to explore the implementation of school information systems and digital resources. The research method used in the study was descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews and observations. Data validity was tested using triangulation. The results showed that the implementation of information system management in the use of digital resources in one of the KCD VII schools in Bandung City has utilized the use of digital applications, namely ARKAS (School Activity and Budget Plan Application) and SIPD (Regional Development Information System). These applications facilitate planning, monitoring and help manage the use of resources, including budget allocations. The use of these applications improves efficiency, accuracy and transparency in school management. The role of teachers in using these digital applications is when entering grades. But in the context of teaching, the application of digital resources is still not running optimally. The information system in terms of communication between teachers, students, schools and parents shows inefficiency because there is no specific application that serves as a communication platform.

Gestalt counseling teaches that individuals are wholes greater than the sum of their parts. In the context of self-confidence, this means recognizing and embracing all aspects of oneself, both positive and negative, as integral parts of their being. This study aims to examine the application of the empty chair technique in Gestalt counseling to enhance students' self-confidence. Gestalt counseling is an approach that emphasizes present awareness and the individual's relationship with their environment. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach, using relevant literature sources as primary data, such as research findings, research reports, and scientific journals. After gathering the data sources, a content analysis of the literature review was conducted. The results of this study indicate that the empty chair technique in Gestalt counseling is effective in improving students' self-confidence. The empty chair technique helps enhance interpersonal communication skills and reduce negative behaviors. Although Gestalt counseling has advantages in increasing self-awareness and self-confidence, it also has drawbacks such as a lack of structure in counseling sessions and unsuitability for all types of issues or client conditions.

Authors: Chrobak Gracjan
Published: May 2024

Niebagatelny wkład w zapewnienie ochrony zdrowia ich mieszkańcom wnoszą jednostki samorządu terytorialnego, zwłaszcza gminy miejskie. Stało się to szczególnie widoczne wówczas, gdy lekarze rodzinni pomagali w zapobieganiu i leczeniu koronawirusa. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest studium hierarchizacji zagęszczenia placówek podstawowej opieki zdrowotnej (dalej: POZ) 19 miast grodzkich województwa śląskiego (tzw. obiektów) w cieniu pandemii SARS-CoV-2. Badanie przeprowadzono w dwóch okresach: w roku 2020 (faza identyfikacyjna COVID-19) i w roku 2022 (faza adaptacyjna COVID-19). W ramach analizy porównawczej danych użyto metody sum standaryzowanych, posługując się technikami normalizacyjnymi, opartymi na standaryzacji, transformacjach ilorazowych oraz unitaryzacji stymulant i destymulant, w powiązaniu z taksonomiczną miarą rozwoju Z. Hellwiga. W następstwie postawionych w publikacji hipotez badawczych- H1: na sieć przychodni (PYP) (zmienna Y) na przełomie lat 2020/2022 oddziałują trzy czynniki (komponenty Xi): ilość przedszkoli na 1km2 (PRP), liczba nowych mieszkań oddanych do użytku na 1km2 (NMP) i długość sieci gazowej w km na 1 tys. mieszkańców (ŚGM); H2: nie stwierdza się wystąpienia znaczących różnic między składowymi Y oraz Xi w zadanym horyzoncie czasowym; H3: potwierdza się względnie duża dokładność dopasowania pojedynczych narzędzi pozycjonowania podaży POZ na Górnym Śląsku w latach 2020 i 2022, wskazując w 2022 r. na trzy dominujące ośrodki miejskie (o skrótach: SWI, KCE i CH). Podsumowując wyniki rankingów miast, najbardziej poprawiła się koniunktura infrastruktury medycznej w jednym przypadku (obiekt z kodem: SSN) (wzrost o +2 miejsca). W dwóch położenie najbardziej się pogorszyło (aglomeracje o skrótach: MYS i TCH) (spadek o -2 miejsca).

Educação Infantil do/no Campo: um olhar sobre os posicionamentos e discussões do Movimento Interfóruns da Educação Infantil do Brasil
Authors: Silva Fernanda Cerqueira Candido da , Vieira Emilia Peixoto
Published: May 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo evidenciar os debates e posicionamentos dos pesquisadores associados ao Movimento Interfóruns de Educação Infantil do Brasil (Mieib) sobre a Educação Infantil do Campo, no período de 2008 a 2019, por meio do mapeamento de produções disponíveis no site oficial do movimento. O interesse pelo movimento se justifica por ser uma importante organização autônoma, em defesa da Educação Infantil em suas diversas dimensões. Além disso, a temática surgiu também da importância de dar visibilidade às crianças e infâncias do campo, questão que tem se destacado nos últimos anos, especialmente depois da garantia do direito à educação pela Constituição Federal de 1988 e Lei de Diretrizes e Bases de 1996. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, fundamentada em uma análise crítica e dialética e com uso de entrevistas. Além disso, apoia-se nas reflexões e estudos de Antonio Gramsci sobre a sociedade civil. Como resultado, identificou-se que o site agrega debates relacionados à Educação do Campo, aos movimentos sociais e a outras questões; mas ainda são poucos os estudos e pesquisa referentes à Educação Infantil do/no Campo e, quando aparecem, encontram-se imersos em pautas gerais da Educação Infantil. Sendo assim, ainda é tímido o debate sobre a Educação Infantil do Campo, apesar do Mieib apresentar um posicionamento comprometido com as crianças e as infâncias residentes em diversos contextos.
Espacios e instrumentos de la participación ciudadana
Authors: Bolo Silvia
Published: May 2024

La participación, en sus distintas concepciones, remite a considerar las condiciones sociales y políticas en las cuales se expresa; en este sentido, en un contexto de autoritarismo o bien de una excesiva centralización de las decisiones, la participación -aunada a la descentralización- es considerada como un medio para la democratización de los espacios institucionales y de las relaciones entre la sociedad y los gobiernos. Por ello, es imprescindible que al hablar de participación se enfatice que no se trata de cualquier acción producida individualmente o por grupos sociales, sino aquéllas que se dirigen a la toma de decisiones, lo cual para que resulte eficaz, implica, entre otros elementos, la voluntad política del gobierno y la intención de los ciudadanos para abrir espacios; un cambio en las concepciones, en la mentalidad y las prácticas de ambos; mecanismos e instrumentos apropiados; acceso a la información para todos los participantes, y capacidades tales como saber negociar, poder expresar y debatir sus puntos de vista.

Published: May 2024

This research aims to determine a strategy to accelerate the reduction of maternal mortality, infant mortality and stunting and to describe the acceleration of sustainable health development in Bengkulu Province. This research was designed as descriptive research with a correlational investigation and intervention study; namely, the research wanted to find significant variables related to the problem with minimum intervention. The sample in this study used a clustering technique (Cluster Random Sampling), using primary and secondary data. Primary data in this research uses a questionnaire. Meanwhile, the collected data will be tested using validity and reliability tests on research instruments. Meanwhile, to achieve the objectives of this research, data analysis will be carried out using the SWOT test. The research results found that strategies to accelerate the reduction of maternal mortality can be carried out by providing training or education to health cadres, adding skilled health workers, providing supporting facilities related to accelerated access to health services, providing education about the benefits of nutritious and balanced food to improve health. Meanwhile, the strategy to accelerate the reduction in child mortality is to assist in processing drinking water suitable for consumption, provide fast access to services with a community pick-up program, and create a health service program with early detection of diseases in pregnant women. Meanwhile, strategies to accelerate the reduction in stunting rates include providing assistance to treat stunting, providing education about nutritious and balanced food, and health service programs with early disease detection in expectant mothers. There are still many shortcomings; it is recommended that further researchers add research indicators to the variables studied and use the AHP and FGD analysis methods.

Published: May 2024

La diabetes tipo II es una enfermedad crónica creciente, que se asocia con el riesgo de daño renal, una complicación que puede llevar a la insuficiencia renal. Por ende, la detección temprana y el monitoreo del daño renal es fundamental en este tipo de pacientes. En este contexto, la cistatina C es un marcador endógeno confiable para evaluar la función renal, puesto que, su concentración no está influenciada por factores externos a diferencia de otros marcadores endógenos. El objetivo es analizar la cistatina C como marcador de daño renal en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo II. Se realizó una investigación exhaustiva, en las diferentes bases de datos, para identificar estudios relacionados al tema de interés. Se empleó el método PRISMA. Los estudios revisados demostraron una asociación entre la concentración elevada de la cistatina C con un riesgo de daño renal en pacientes con diabetes. Además, la cistatina C sugiere ser un marcador más sensible que la creatinina para detectar problemas renales en etapas tempranas. Se concluyó que la cistatina C es un marcador prometedor para la evaluación de daño renal en pacientes con diabetes tipo II, por su sensibilidad para detectar cambios tempranos y determinar la progresión de la enfermedad.

Authors: Arango Dávila Lina María , Röders Jonathan
Published: May 2024

This Research Brief delves into the decentralised and community-driven reintegration of formerly armed actors (FAAs), shedding light on its potential role in sustainable peacebuilding efforts and local ownership. Illustrated by case studies from Ukraine, Northern Ireland and Sub Saharan Africa, the Brief highlights the significance of decentralising administration and decision-making processes for reintegration programs. By empowering local and community levels, this approach may not only boosts efficiency and participation but also fosters broader social and economic development objectives. It also discusses existing empirical evidence of decentralisation success and possible challenges of decentralisation like increased corruption, coordination challenges or ethnic seperatism. Finally, the Brief presents a case study on the coupling of FAA reintegration and territorial development policies in Colombia.

Published: May 2024

Aim of the work: The main purpose of the research is to develop a concept of a new management efficiency model for the Frost Wealth Management company, which on the one hand will ensure business continuity in a competitive environment, and on the other hand will enable its development. Main research hypothesis: In the portfolio of competencies of Frost Wealth Management managers: professionalism, social, business, business competencies are key to the effectiveness of company management. The hypothesis was formulated on the basis of the following research assumption: in effective performance management in a company, a special role is attributed to the competencies of the managerial staff. Methodology: The basis of the research material are the economic categories of efficiency, management, management efficiency, literature on the subject and other sources. The studies used, among others, models: R. Walkowiak and Z. Mietlewski’s competency model and E. Greiner’s organization life cycle model Research results: Diligence, flexibility and the ability to make decisions are the key competencies that, according to the surveyed Frost Wealth Management managers, contribute to effective company management. The Frost Wealth Management company with its model of management efficiency is closer in L. Greiner’s model to the “Growth by guidelines” phase. Confronting the first five competencies of R. Walkowiak and Z. Mietlewski’s model with the first five competencies of the competency model reconstructed by us, we notice that the sequence of competencies in these authors is not identical to the competencies in our reconstructed model. In the model of R. Walkowiak and Z. Mietlewski, the key competence is the ability to make decisions, which in the model reconstructed by us is in third place.

The article presents the results of the criminological research of the personality of a drug offender conducted by the author according to the data of 2017-2022.
The results of the author's research show that, in a generalized form, personality of a drug offenders are characterized mainly by a young age (30-49 years), a low educational level, lack of permanent work, the commission of drug crimes mainly for selfish motives, etc. Specified and other results should be taken into account when determining the direction of individual prevention of drug crime, when choosing a method and in solving other issues.
The results of the author's research show that the legislation of the Republic of Armenia does not provide an opportunity to carry out individual prevention in full. Therefore, the author proposes to make appropriate legislative changes and additions - expand the range of prevention facilities, regulate in detail the specifics of methods and mechanisms of preventive action.
In addition, the author notes that individual warnings, as a rule, involve psychological impact on the relevant object by the method of escape, which cannot be fully implemented by law enforcement officers. Therefore, it is necessary to provide for the positions of psychologists in the territorial police bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and establish legal grounds for involving psychologists in individual preventive work.

Published: May 2024

Wie man mit Minderjährigenehen umgehen soll, sorgt seit Jahren für Diskussionen. Seit 2017 sind sie in Deutschland unwirksam, wenn einer der Ehegatten zum Zeitpunkt der Eheschließung unter 16 Jahre alt war. Das soll die Ächtung von Minderjährigenehen zum Ausdruck bringen, führt aber zu erheblichen Problemen für die betroffenen Minderjährigen. Denn ihnen wird auf diese Weise der Schutz des Eherechts vorenthalten. Auch der aktuelle Gesetzentwurf hilft ihnen kaum.
Continuous operating elastocaloric air-cooling device
Authors: Hou Ruihang , Xiao Fei , Wu Shukun , Zhai Xiaoqiang , Lin Zehuan , Cai Xiaorong , Planes Antoni , Jin Xuejun
Published: May 2024

Elastocaloric cooling has shown significant potential as an alternative to traditional vapor-compression technology because it relies on nonflammable, non-toxic, and zero-global warming potential solid refrigerants (usually NiTi and TiNi-based shape memory alloys). However, the uniaxial loading mode commonly used in existing elastocaloric cooling devices is often accompanied by a lower operating frequency. Additionally, using water as the heat exchange medium presents challenges in further cooling the air with cold water. These issues will hinder the application of this type of refrigerators in space cooling scenarios. Here, we report a continuous operating tension-based elastocaloric air-cooling device that utilizes the bundles of NiTi wires. The driving mode based on the cam structure realizes the alternating loading-unloading cycle of multiple NiTi bundles, facilitating continuous the cooling process. Our air-cooling device achieves a temperature decrease of 4.4 �� in continuous air flow and provides a cooling power of 21 W. These results demonstrate the possibility of applying elastocaloric technology in space cooling and provide a technical reference for designing household air conditioners using this technology.

innovación de la tecnología de defensa, la Third U.S. Offset Strategy y el futuro de las capacidades militares
Authors: Ruiz Rodríguez General de Brigada (R) Omar
Published: May 2024

En general, cuando se alude al tema de centros de innovación, se suele asociar la idea de que en ellos se predice el futuro tecnológico, se comprenden las ten­dencias, y en definitiva, se crea un germen especial para que florezcan empresas flexibles capaces de sobrevivir a negocios que están todavía por explorar.
Aunque Silicon Valley es la de mayor repercusión, lentamente está dejando espa­cio a otras localidades del mundo. A lo mejor no en presencia real, con proyectos y empresas, pero Asia está ganando en crecimiento. Las nuevas Facebook, Twit­ter o Google posiblemente no nazcan en California, estas serán asiáticas.
Se han presentado indicativos adjudicando un declive al modelo americano de innovación de defensa, mientras China surge con fuerza, con iniciativas de gran calado, como la construcción de un nuevo mega-parque tecnológico en Beijing con un presupuesto de 2.100 millones de dólares, destinado a la investigación y transferencia de tecnología en Inteligencia Artificial (IA), entre otros objetivos. La dirección y la gestión de las empresas se torna cada vez más tecnológica (Ale­mania y Japón son emblemas de este tipo de management), y la innovación tiene su centro de gravedad en el proceso de conversión de materias primas, com­ponentes o partes en productos terminados que cumplen con las expectativas o especificaciones de la demanda en forma digitalizada.
Considerando la Innovación y la Tecnología para la Defensa unida a los avances logrados a partir del final de la Guerra Fría, se ha concluido que la globalización ha sido el motor de los negocios internacionales de innovación. Se augura que en los próximos veinte años, es muy probable que surjan formas nuevas y más avanzadas de externalización global y que la próxima etapa más avanzada de la globalización, involucre definitivamente a todas las economías desarrolladas y economías de mercado emergentes en un mundo cada vez más competitivo a nivel global.
Ante la perspectiva de que sus adversarios mitiguen su superioridad de larga data en sofisticados sistemas de armamento, EE.UU. anunció en 2014 la “Third U.S. Offset Strategy” (Tercera Estrategia de Compensación, 3EC), para mantener su ventaja militar y tecnológica. Sin embargo, en su intento de aprovechar las nue­vas tecnologías y los conceptos operativos, es probable que la tercera estrategia de compensación plantee cuestiones importantes para Europa, la Organización del Tratado Atlántico Norte (OTAN), China, Rusia, Irán y Corea del Norte, entre otros países, por lo que la presente compilación aborda algunos de los principa­les problemas relacionados con la política de alianzas en la OTAN y algunos de los posibles efectos en la defensa industrial. A tales efectos se analizan bajo la modalidad de casos la situación de la innovación en defensa de algunos países de América del Norte, Asia y Europa.
Ciberdefensa aeroespacial
Authors: Pérez Benítez Comandante José Igancio
Published: May 2024

Las amenazas cibernéticas en la aviación civil y militar son una realidad en un ámbito global cada vez más tecnificado. Algunas de ellas son compartidas con otros sectores de la industria, pero otras son específicas de la aviación. Esas amenazas pueden afectar a la seguridad en vuelo creando problemas en el control de tráfico, provocando maniobras anticolisión, distracciones, incremento de la carga de trabajo de pilotos y controladores, desconfianza en el sistema afectado y en las tripulaciones o, en el peor de los casos, un accidente aéreo. Los investigadores han demostrado vulnerabi­lidades en distintas tecnologías inalámbricas muy usadas por las aeronaves que carecen de los mecanismos básicos de ciberseguri­dad. Con la disponibilidad creciente de avanzados medios técnicos a bajo coste, surge una nueva amenaza. La necesaria interconec­tividad de los sistemas incrementa considerablemente el riesgo en un ámbito donde los efectos disruptivos pueden ser devastadores.

A propósito de los aprestos actuales para la consecución de la ela­boración del libro Blanco de República Dominicana, que consti­tuirá un hito sobre los aspectos normativos de políticas públicas y aspectos logísticos que conciernen a la Política de Seguridad y Defensa nacional, concibiéndose como una expresión clara de transparencia en su conformación, por lo que entre sus páginas se tratarán los aspectos más elementales para la defensa del interés nacional.
Antes las grandes dificultades (globales y nacionales), como con­secuencias de la epidemia del COVID-19, la seguridad sanitaria cobra la debida relevancia que corresponde a la crisis, siendo un tema de prioridad nacional que implica las recurrencia de medidas necesarias ante la emergencia propia de salud pública que se pre­senta, involucrando en su apoyo a las dependencias de seguridad y defensa del Estado como una experiencia global, (Ministerio de Defensa, 2020).
Al producirse un evento de salud pública de tal relevancia, la Organización Mundial de Salud (OMS), se ocupa de poner en vi­gencia las alertas y respuestas necesarias, mediante la coordina­ción de las operaciones de respuesta adecuadas, así como el suplir las informaciones más acertadas ante la crisis. La seguridad sanitaria mundial, a través de la aplicación en el 2005 del nuevo Reglamento de Salud Internacional (RSI), (Organización Mundial de la Salud, 2005), nos dice tener como propósito princi­pal «prevenir la propagación internacional de enfermedades, pro­teger contra esa propagación, controlarla y darle una respuesta de salud pública proporcionada».
A través de estas breves aproximaciones realizaremos un análisis ponderativo de nuestra política de seguridad y defensa a través de la concepción de un Libro Blanco, en momentos en que trascurre una crisis sanitaria. Por tanto, ante tales retos se hace necesario un amplio desglose normativos para lo que hacemos acotamientos de lugar, siendo factibles de ser aprovechados.

In the present study, a field experiment was conducted over two years to evaluate the efficacy and economic performance of imidazolinones. The combined application of imidazolinones with pendimethalin exhibited enhanced effectiveness in controlling the weed populations compared to their individual application. PRE application of pendimethalin + imazethapyr (Ready mix) at 1500 g ha-1, followed by one hoeing at 3-4 leaf stage, proved highly effective in suppressing the dominant weed flora and recorded higher growth parameters and significantly increased the seed yield of fenugreek. Moreover, it emerged as a profitable alternative to the current recommendation of weed control in fenugreek, which involves two hoeing sessions at 25 and 45 days after sowing (DAS).

KENDİ KADERİNİ TAYİN MESELESİ VE MİKRO-MİLLİYETÇİLİK
Authors: Renk Tuncay
Published: May 2024

Kendi kaderini tayin meselesi her ne kadar hakim anlatıda toplumların kendi siyasi, iktisadi, sosyal ve benzeri geleceklerini kendilerinin karar vereceği, belirleyeceği biçiminde ifade edilse de, kavramın üretim ilişkileriyle kurulan ilişki neticesinde ifade edilişi ve içeriği tarihsel olarak dönüşmektedir. Bu makalede kendi kaderini tayin meselesinin, neoliberal dönemde mikro-milliyetçi oluşumlara emperyalist devletler tarafından politik yetkiler verilmesini sağlayacak şekilde bir anlam ve içeriğe sahip olageldiği iddia edilmektedir. Bununla birlikte, makalede söz konusu mikro-milliyetçi oluşumların da kendi kolektif zenginliklerini kapitalist merkeze devretmeyi taahhüt etmekte ve dışarının taleplerini içeri taşıyarak kendi egemenliklerinden emperyalist kapitalist merkez devletler lehine vazgeçmekte oldukları savlanmıştır. Kendi kaderini tayin meselesi, 20. yüzyılın küresel güç ilişkileri düzleminde sermaye birikiminin dinamikleriyle ve küresel güç ilişkilerinin yapısıyla bağlantılı olarak farklı içerikler edinmiştir. Kendi kaderini tayin meselesi bir doğal hak değildir. Mikro-milliyetçilik, neoliberal dönemde kendi kaderini tayin meselesinin içerik ve tatbikatlarından birisidir. Mikro-milliyetçi oluşumlar kendi toplumsal kaynaklarını emperyalist devletlerin çıkarına kullandıkları ölçüde, bu oluşumların sözde bağımsızlık iddiaları desteklenmektedir.
