Transitioning to Adulthood as a Young Person with an Intellectual Disability: Two Case Studies of Mothers’ Perceptions
Authors: Wilcox Gabrielle , McQuay Jocelyn , Jones Kailyn
Published: November 2023

Making the transition from high school to adult life is a challenging process for youth with Intellectual Disabilities (ID). Complicated policies, fragmented systems, and uncoordinated services contribute to the problem. Youth with ID need ongoing support to transition successfully, and this support often comes from their parents. The current article presents the findings from two case studies that examined mothers’ perceptions of the process of supporting their children with ID through transition from high school to adulthood. Factors that supported and hindered successful transition, as well as supports or resources that mothers wished they had during transition are presented.
Social Justice Leadership in Urban Schools: What do Black and Hispanic Principals Do to Promote Social Justice?
Authors: Sun Anna
Published: November 2023

Despite the constant barrage of federal and state initiatives and reforms, many challenges to needy schools still remain. Students in the United States who are from low-income families, who are of color, and for whom English is not their first language, continue to be under-represented, undereducated, and underperform. Utilizing a qualitative research methodology, this study examined how and to what extent black and Hispanic principals working in urban schools were exercising social justice leadership in their schools, sought a better understanding of how they had become social justice leaders, and explored what they had done to promote social justice. Malgré le déluge incessant d’initiatives et de réformes de la part du gouvernement fédéral et des états, les écoles défavorisées continuent à faire face à de nombreux défis. Aux États-Unis, les élèves de familles à faible revenu, qui sont de couleur et pour qui l’anglais n’est pas la langue maternelle continuent à être sous-représentés, sous-scolarisés et moins performants. Reposant sur une méthodologie de recherche qualitative, cette étude s’est penchée sur les directeurs noirs et hispaniques d’écoles en milieu urbain pour établir comment, et dans quelle mesure, ils exerçaient un leadeurship en justice sociale dans leurs écoles; pour mieux comprendre comment ils étaient devenus des leadeurs en justice sociale; et pour étudier ce qu’ils avaient fait pour promouvoir la justice sociale. Mots clés : leadeurship en justice sociale; directeurs d’école noirs et hispaniques; équité et égalité; modélisation; éducation en milieu urbain

Authors: Ragoonaden Karen , Macintyre Latta Margaret , Hanson Kelly , Draper Rhonda , Coble Jordan
Published: November 2023

As part of a larger study focusing on the interdependence of creative and critical curricula, this research examines how an arts experience in an elementary school was re-storied, with the guidance of local and place-based First Nation community members, as an exploration of decolonizing curriculum. A school-based musical theatre experience titled Re-Storying Canadian History, which intended to address concerns about Canada’s 150th anniversary, served as a critical and creative medium for increasing awareness of the existing plurality of First Nation identities, cultures, and languages. Framed as a case study, the experiential narratives of elementary school students and their educators provided a space, a time, and a place to initiate and to discuss decolonization processes in elementary school curricula. Three interpretive devices, storying and re-storying, broadening, and burrowing engaged educators and their students in reconnecting teaching and learning with Indigenous content, perspectives, and histories. Key words: Storying and Re-Storying, Decolonization, Arts Based Research, Creative and Critical Curriculum, Truth and Reconciliation Commission S'insérant dans le cadre d’une plus grande étude portant sur l’interdépendance de la criticalité et de la créativité des programmes d’études, cette recherche examine la réitération d’une expérience artistique dans une école élémentaire sous la direction de membres de la communauté locale des Premières Nations comme une étude de la décolonisation du curriculum. L’école a présenté une production de théâtre musical intitulée Re-Storying Canadian History (Reprise de l’histoire du Canada) dont le but était d’aborder des préoccupations quant au 150e anniversaire du Canada. La présentation a servi d’instrument critique et créatif pour mieux faire prendre conscience de la pluralité des identités, des cultures et des langues des Premières nations. Présentés comme une étude de cas, les récits expérientiels des élèves de l’élémentaire et leurs enseignants offraient un espace, un moment et un lieu à l’initiation et à la discussion de processus de décolonisation dans les programmes d’études de l’élémentaire. Trois outils interprétatifs — la narration et la narration par réitération, l’élargissement et l’enfouissement — ont guidé les élèves et leurs enseignants alors qu’ils retissaient les liens entre l’enseignement et l’apprentissage et les récits, le contenu et les perspectives autochtones. Mots clés : narration et narration par itération, décolonisation, recherche basée sur les arts, curriculum créatif et curriculum de base, Commission de vérité et réconciliation

This study delves into the far-reaching implications of COVID-19 on India's flourishing tourism industry. India, celebrated for its opulent cultural heritage and diverse geographical beauty, heavily depends on tourism as a significant source of employment and foreign exchange earnings. However, the pandemic brought about a series of challenges, with severe repercussions for the industry. The global spread of COVID-19 cast a substantial shadow over the entire tourism sector. This impact reverberated across various facets of the industry, including aviation, hospitality, transportation, tour operators, and eateries. India was not spared from these adverse effects. During the initial wave of the pandemic, the tourism sector in India suffered more profoundly than most other economic sectors. Although there were tentative signs of recovery starting in October 2020, the tourism industry faced a devastating setback in March 2021 when a sudden surge in COVID-19 cases effectively brought tourism activities to a standstill, with only a few exceptions for select locations on special occasions. This study's primary objective is to comprehensively evaluate the economic losses incurred throughout the entire pandemic period and to investigate potential recovery phases for the tourism sector post-pandemic. The importance of this research extends beyond economics, as it seeks to reinvigorate a vital sector that not only fuels India's economy and employment but also connects a significant portion of the population directly or indirectly to tourism-related activities. In summary, this research endeavors to shed light on the critical role of the tourism sector in India's economy and to explore the repercussions of COVID-19 on this pivotal industry, ultimately paving the way for its revival and resurgence. And steps or solutions adopted or can be considered for booming this sector.

ABSTRACT:The tweets are brief and come in a steady stream. Emotions have a significant impact on feelings. People can express their ideas about anything and anything on social media. Public perception is divided into three categories: positive, negative, and neutral. In this study, Twitter hotel reviews are gathered and pre-processed before being analyzed using Python's Tweepy package. Re-tweets, tags, URLs, hash tag symbols, and duplicate entries are all eliminated as part of a screening procedure to remove any discrepancies in the data. Using Python's scikit-learn module, tweets are up-sampled and divided. Python turns textual data into vectors using the keras Tokenizer. Bi-sense Emoji Embedding (BSEE) is used to perform a sentimental analysis. Sentiment is categorized using Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Random Forest (RF),and LSTM (Long Short Term Memory) where compared based on accuracy, recall, F-measure, precision, time duration, and performance. It is clear that the proposed classifier produces better results. Keywords: Bi-Sense Emoji Embedding (BSEE), Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF),

Published: November 2023

Liberalleşmeyle birlikte sermayenin, karlı ve güvenli yatırımlara yönelme arzusu, finansal araçların çeşitliliğinin artması, sermaye piyasalarının giderek şeffaflığını yitirmesi bununla birlikte ülkelerin ve şirketlerin fon ihtiyaçları, kredi derecelendirme kuruluşlarını kilit bir noktaya taşımıştır. Derecelendirme kuruluşları yatırımcıların risk-getirisini ölçerek belirsizliği ortadan kaldıracak bilgiyi yatırımcıya sunar. Yatırımcılar güvenli liman olarak gördüğü derecelendirilmiş finansal araçlara yöneldiğinden, ülkeler ve şirketler bu yatırımcıların fonlarını kendine çekmek için derecelendirme şirketlerinden, derecelendirilme talebinde bulunurlar. Küresel ekonominin işleyişinde kritik rol üstlenen bu kuruluşların bağımsız ve tarafsız bir derecelendirme yapılması ihtiyacı; ülke, şirketler ve yatırımcıların kazanç, maliyet ve itibarı açısından son derece önemlidir. Çünkü derecelendirme ülke ve şirketlerin borçlanma maliyetlerini etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada kredi derecelendirme kuruluşlarının tarihsel gelişimi, önemli kredi derecelendirme kuruluşları hakkında bilgiler sunulmuş, kredi derecelendirme yöntemleri ve örnek uygulamalarla ele alınmıştır. Derecelendirme kuruluşlarının öngöremediği ülke ekonomik krizleri ve şirket iflaslarından sonra kuruluşların objektifliği tartışılmaya başlanmıştır. Özellikle 2008 yılında yaşanan finansal kriz ve Lehman Brothers olayı, bu kuruluşların objektifliği konusu dünya genelinde sert eleştirilere maruz kalmıştır. Bu kapsamda BRIC ülkeler ile Türkiye’nin politik, ekonomik ve finansal göstergeleri ortaya konulmuş PRS-ICRG yöntemine göre birleşik skorlar bulunmuştur. Daha sonra Moody’s derecelendirme kuruluşun bu ülkelere verdiği kredi notu ve ülkelerin birleşik skorları karşılaştırılmıştır.

Published: November 2023

All species within a community either directly or indirectly interact with each other. Such interactions serve as the nucleus of both ecological and evolutionary processes. This study focused on dominant tree species' interspecific associations and the stability of evergreen broadleaved forest stands in Phu Quoc National Park in Kien Giang province of Vietnam. The data were analyzed using the variance ratio (VR), χ2 test, association coefficient (AC), and the Godron stability method. At the end of 2022, we set up two 1-ha study plots (100 m × 100 m) in the strict protection zone within the national park to collect data. The results revealed that overall interspecific associations were significantly positive in medium and rich forests. The χ2 and AC tests indicated that associations among dominant species pairs were predominantly independent. The tree communities in the study area exhibited a relatively stable succession state. However, stability levels differed among the variety of forests. As expected, the medium forest exhibited lower stability than the rich forest. Out of the seventy-eight pairs of thirteen dominant species in each study plot, eleven significantly associated pairs were found in the medium forest, and seven significantly associated were determined in the rich forest. These significant findings should be taken into consideration when planning new afforestation or forest enrichment initiatives in areas with soil and climate conditions similar to those of the study area.

Published: November 2023

This article presents the results of applying geospatial technology to assess soil erosion for Yen Chau district. Geospatial Technology was applied to build maps of factors affecting soil erosion such as: rain erosion coefficient map (R), soil erosion resistance coefficient map (K), terrain erosion coefficient map (LS), cover erosion coefficient map (C) and farming practices (P). Improved universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) due to Wischmeier and Smith was used to create soil erosion maps. The research results have determined the level of erosion and the proportion of eroded area corresponding to each level in Yen Chau district, Son La province. Research results showed that the majority of the area (59.79%) falls into the Slight or Moderate severity category, a significant portion of the area (39.53%) falls into the High and Very high severity categories, a small percentage of the area (0.69%) falls into the Severe category. In addition, the research team built two soil erosion maps for the study area under two climate change scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 (in terms of rainfall) for the period 2046-2065. According to the result, the data for slight, moderate, and high soil erosion levels all decrease in both scenarios. While, the data for high and very high soil erosion levels increase significantly in both scenarios. This suggests that the situation of soil erosion may become more severe in the future according to both climate scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5.

SMPs (accountants) and their role in the face of new sustainability reports
Authors: Marin Salvador , Menezes Carlos
Published: November 2023

In recent years, the non-financial information or sustainability reporting has experienced exponential interest and increase. Undoubtedly, the impetus that led to continued work with more intensity in this line was the so-called “Green Deal” that the European Commission announced in 2019. The steps to reform the directives with relations or influence on non-financial information or sustainability have meant that, in some way, the information requirements by all stakeholders in this process have increased. Therefore, the information corporations must prepare and publish is not only restricted to traditional financial information included in their financial statements but also includes non-financial or sustainability information. SMPs (accountants) can and should advise our companies, entities, and institutions where we work, we are partners, or they are our clients, on how they can adopt sustainable management practices within the so-called ESG and improve their sustainability performance. We certainly have a crucial role in supporting the quest for sustainability and a sustainable economy in the EU. This presents a double challenge, namely a significant opportunity and responsibility, for which our profession is undoubtedly prepared and will continue to grow in the coming years. In this area, two new facts were key in 2022, to be highlighted with the content of this article and that demonstrate the determined impulse of the EU in this area: on the one hand, the approval of the so called CSRD Directive and, on the other, the elaboration of the draft of the first group of European standards for corporatereporting on sustainability (ESRS). – SET 1), which has recently been adopted as a delegated act of the European Commission, and we are awaiting final publication by the European Parliament and Council for effective use from 1 January 2024.

A limited partnership (CV) is one of the most popular business entities for the public in building businesses through Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as a driver of the national economy. Regulations regarding CVs are regulated in the Commercial Code (KUHD), and Civil Code (KUHPerdata) as well as technical guidelines for registration and dissolution of CVs through Government Regulation No. 17/2018. The existence of CV, which is important in national economic development, causes the need to understand the concept of CV law and the legal position of CV based on the principles of utilitarianism philosophy. This research uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and conceptual approach, and legal materials are analyzed using the deductive method. The result of this study is that the legal concept of CV lies in the authority of the allies contained in Article 19 to Article 21 of the KUHD, if there are things that have not been regulated, the provisions of the Civil Code apply, and the legal position of CV based on the principle of utilitarianism, namely the allies in managing the partnership must fulfill their rights and obligations as applicable regulations, so that the business is managed will provide benefits and benefits not only for the allies, but also can increase the source of state revenue which has benefited national economic growth.

Published: November 2023

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) é um distúrbio do neurodesenvolvimento que envolve uma série de aspectos comportamentais. Uma alternativa utilizada para auxiliar no tratamento de crianças com TEA é a Interface Cérebro-Computador (ICC), que consiste em um dispositivo externo colocado sobre a cabeça do estudante para o monitoramento das atividades cerebrais. Nesse contexto, o objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar e analisar os principais propósitos, benefícios, métodos e desafios relacionados ao uso das ICCs no tratamento de estudantes com TEA, que possam contribuir com o processo de aprendizagem deles. Dessa forma, realizou-se um levantamento bibliográfico de publicações científicas em três bases de dados diferentes (IEEE Xplore, PubMed e ScienceDirect).  Um conjunto final com 8 estudos resultantes foi analisado, de forma a responder às questões de pesquisa desta Revisão Sistemática da Literatura (RSL). Foram consideradas publicações entre os anos de 2012 e 2021. Observou-se que, mesmo com algumas limitações, os estudos apresentam resultados positivos, indicam contribuições da utilização das ICCs na melhoria da normalização das funções cerebrais, nos maneirismos autistas, na função social, emocional e cognitiva, indicando a aplicabilidade das ICCs em contextos educacionais.

Authors: Barrera Débora Furtado , Oliver Núbia Almeida Duarte , Ferreira Marcello
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo, organizado em cinco seções, versa acerca da Universidade de Brasília (UnB) e da sua relação com a hibridização modal e, em particular, com a Educação a Distância (EaD). O estudo teve a intenção de analisar as políticas institucionais a serem adotadas pela UnB no processo de hibridização dos seus cursos de graduação presenciais, a partir da Portaria nº 2.177/2019, indagando-se principalmente de que maneira a Instituição compreende esse processo. A pesquisa, fundamentada na abordagem da hermenêutica reconstrutiva, é exploratória em relação aos objetivos, estudo de caso e procedimentos. Busca-se compreender de que maneira a Universidade de Brasília vem discutindo com sua comunidade universitária a implementação da referida Portaria em seus cursos de graduação presenciais. Analisou-se documentos institucionais sobre o histórico da Educação a Distância na UnB e as discussões preliminares realizadas pela administração superior da Universidade. Acredita-se que o ensino híbrido é importante para que docentes e estudantes estejam inseridos em um contexto educacional dinâmico, que compreende as diferenças. A UnB possui uma longa história com a modalidade de EaD, sua gestão vem apresentando um posicionamento aberto e democrático nessa questão, há o apoio do Centro de Educação a Distância (CEAD), mas acredita-se que a Instituição precisa avançar, junto à comunidade universitária, nas discussões sobre as potencialidades e desafios da implementação do ensino híbrido nos cursos de oferta presencial. Para tanto, torna-se importante institucionalizar a EaD na Universidade. Conclui-se que a temática ainda precisa ser bem debatida para desenvolver caminhos que edifiquem um processo de ensino-aprendizagem de qualidade, democrático e apoiado em tecnologias interativas, acessíveis e inovadoras.

Published: November 2023

Com o aumento populacional e a crescente demanda de alimentos, a indústria alimentícia se fixou no mercado e ao mesmo tempo se tornou uma das maiores vilãs do meio ambiente. Responsabilizada pelos maiores níveis de descarte errôneos e também pela grande quantidade de resíduos gerados, as indústrias alimentícias são pressionadas a buscarem soluções ambientalmente corretas. Dentre elas, a mais utilizada atualmente é a triagem dos resíduos recicláveis e a sua reutilização, no entanto, ainda não é a mais recomendada, uma vez que temos diversos resíduos recicláveis, tais como a bolsa asséptica de laminado com uma grande possibilidade de reciclagem. Baseado nisso, o objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a quantidade gerada desse resíduo em específico, sua atual destinação, o processo de reciclagem para fabricação das telhas e avaliação da determinação da densidade e determinação da absorção de água, a fim de comparar com outras telhas ecológicas já atuante no mercado, para ser utilizada com as mesmas aplicações. Para os levantamentos e acompanhamento dos processos, tanto na indústria quanto na recicladora foram realizadas visitas in loco e para determinação dos parâmetros de absorção e densidade, análises físico-químicas. Os resultados foram satisfatórios, comprovando que a telha ecológica de laminado é de fato um produto reciclável, que em comparação com as análises de outras telhas podem ser utilizadas para as mesmas funções.

O estudo foi do tipo exploratório, descritivo e quantitativo em que participaram 75 estudantes do oitavo ano do ensino fundamental de uma escola pública da cidade de Petrolina, Pernambuco. Estes foram divididos em dois grupos, um controle (GC) e um experimental (EXP), em que este último, além das aulas tradicionais, participou de oficinas promovidas pelo presente estudo. Para análise dos dados, foram aplicados dois questionários, um antes da aplicação da proposta e um outro logo após o seu término. Foi possível perceber que as atividades das aulas de Ciências têm contribuído para o conhecimento do corpo humano, bem como da anatomia humana. Porém, no grupo EXP houve um aumento na satisfação das aulas da referida disciplina que, com a análise na literatura, permitiu realizar uma associação desse aumento as oficinas apresentadas a este grupo. Desta forma, infere-se o emprego de ferramentas alternativas, lúdicas e interativas, diárias, em sala de aula para estudantes do ensino fundamental, as quais apresentam-se como uma forma complementar ao estudo do conteúdo vivenciado, dando significado ao que lhes é apresentado.
A Necrojurisdição brasileira e a ausência de justiça social à população negra

A necropolítica é uma teoria que desperta o olhar científico para as marcas indeléveis e deletérias do racismo na sociedade brasileira. Ao se deparar com os entraves sociais que a população enfrenta, não podemos ignorar o marcador racial dos estudos e de sua influência nas disparidades sociais. Nesse viés, observa-se que a necropolítica se retroalimenta das desigualdades sociorraciais que determinam a morte simbólica do negro na realidade social, quando este não tem acesso efetivo aos direitos sociais. Nesse prisma, o presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar os efeitos necropolíticos da herança colonial do racismo na realidade brasileira e o direcionamento da necrojurisdição penal para a população negra, que dificulta o acesso à justiça sociorracial. Para delinear a presente proposta, o artigo se valeu de uma metodologia bibliográfica e documental, com análise qualitativa do marcador da raça nos dados de acesso aos direitos sociais no cenário brasileiro.

This article evaluated the thermal, mechanical, morphological and fracture properties of systems with poly (ethylene glycol)–poly(propylene glycol)–poly(ethylene glycol) (PPG-PEG-PPG) triblock copolymer, with molecular weight 2000 g•mol−1 and 50% PEG in its composition, in DGEBA/DDM epoxy matrix. Systems with 10, 20 and 30 wt.% copolymer were prepared by in-situ polymerization and curing at 100 °C. In the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis, the characteristic temperatures of both the copolymer and the matrix in the binary systems were verified, indicating that phase separation had occurred. However, the glass transition temperature referring to the epoxy phase (Tg-E) occurred at lower temperatures than in neat matrix, which indicates partial miscibility in binary systems. The epoxy/copolymer systems presented a Young's modulus higher than the neat matrix, and without loss of mechanical resistance, reinforcing the miscibility of the PEG block in the blends and a microstructure with nanophase separation. When evaluating the fracture surface of the blends by scanning electron microscopy, the presence of deflection and crack immobilization mechanisms was observed, but no phase separation of the copolymer was observed. In this way, the systems studied showed partial miscibility with the formation of nanophases at the curing temperature of 100 °C, influencing Tg-E and improving the stiffness of the matrix.

Published: November 2023

Durante o passar dos tempos, ocorreram mudanças significativas no comportamento alimentar dos indivíduos devido à evolução da sociedade. Com a vida corrida de hoje em dia, as pessoas têm tido cada vez menos tempo para se dedicar ao preparo de sua alimentação, preferindo alimentos práticos e saudáveis para o consumo e o setor de alimentos minimamente processados ainda é pouco explorado no Brasil, tendo potencial relevante de crescimento, por ser um produto com maior valor agregado e com aproveitamento integral das frutas. A iniciativa para o estudo de viabilidade econômica para uma agroindústria de frutas desidratadas e minimamente processadas visa atender a esta demanda crescente por parte dos consumidores brasileiros. Para esse estudo, levou-se em consideração os custos de implementação da indústria até os serviços terceirizados, necessários para garantia de seu bom funcionamento. Considerou-se um financiamento de 50% do investimento fixo total pelo BNDES, com empréstimo em longo prazo. Foi utilizado o Sistema de Amortização Constante- SAC, e o prazo de pagamento foi estimado em 10 anos. Para o fluxo de caixa desse empreendimento considerou-se período anual e um horizonte caixa de 10 anos, a partir do início da implantação. Neste estudo, utilizou-se uma TMA de 12% ao ano. Observa-se que no 1º ano, os somatórios das receitas geradas já superam o investimento feito no empreendimento, portanto, o TRC desse projeto é de 1 ano e, este se encontra em condições adequadas para funcionamento, comprovado pelo ponto de nivelamento. A agroindústria pretende distribuir seus produtos no município de Feira de Santana e municípios circunvizinhos.

A aplicação da modelagem e simulação tem sido uma ferramenta importante para facilitar a compreensão do funcionamento do sistema real e, com base nestas informações, tomar decisões mais assertivas acerca da organização da empresa. É neste ponto que este trabalho se apóia e se propõe a adotar, de forma combinada e complementar, diferentes técnicas de simulação, sendo elas a simulação de Monte Carlo, a simulação conceitual através do IDEF-SIM e a simulação computacional. Para comprovar a relação da aplicação destas ferramentas foi realizado um estudo de caso em uma clínica médica de saúde ocupacional, baseados em dados de atividades de um ano e aplicando conhecimentos básicos estatísticos para a amostragem. Além disso, foi proposta a análise de sensibilidade para o sistema estudado. Os resultados apontaram que o sistema atual atende bem à demanda existente, mas se apresenta vulnerável a demandas maiores já previstas pela organização, impossibilitando o pleno atendimento dos pacientes além de elevar o tempo médio do indivíduo no processo. Com base nas repostas obtidas, foi possível determinar os pontos críticos e propor ações de cunho organizacional e estrutural para que se possa atender ao novo público esperado.
