Komitety uczelniane PZPR w systemie władzy. Przykład środowiska gdańskiego (do 1980 roku)
Authors: Abryszeński Piotr
Published: May 2024

This article contributes to the history of the development of Polish United Workers Party university committees on the example of the Tricity academic community. The goal of the communist party’s actions at universities was to seize control over academic affairs while simultaneously bringing students into the political mainstream through ongoing ideological and instructional initiatives. As a result, higher education’s independence was reduced and subjugated to political agendas. Recruitment of students into the PZPR ranks was not given much importance at first; it wasn’t until the 1960s that it started to receive significant attention. As a result, duties delegated by higher authorities were formalized, and there was more control over how they were carried out. Despite intensive activities aimed at increasing youth participation in party life, until the end of the existence of the Polish People’s Republic, the scope of the PZPR’s influence among students was limited. The only measurable criterion of the party’s offensive in the academic community was quantitative, not qualitative.

Authors: Huynh Phuong Nguyen Hong , Hoang Tin Trung , Phan Huynh Thi Thuy , Nguyen Quynh Le Nhu
Published: May 2024

In the current 4.0 context, digital transformation is a particularly necessary thing for retail businesses in particular or most businesses in general. That’s why a sense of privacy is so important to retailers. This paper focuses on the factors affecting the privacy perception of customers in the digital transformation period in Ho Chi Minh City. 452 Ho Chi Minh City people who have experience with the digital revolution participated in quantitative research to evaluate and examine this correlation. The results of the study show that privacy impression is influenced by privacy worries, retailer vs. consumer advantage, privacy-intrusive experience, and retailer credibility. The association between customer benefit and privacy perception and between technology hedonism and privacy perception is unaffected by the role of store trustworthiness moderators.

Authors: Lam Phuong Hoang , Bui Thanh Thi , Vo Mai Thi Tuyet , Tran Lan Thi Ngoc
Published: May 2024

The food and beverage industry in Vietnam has developed dramatically, resulting in a highly competitive market. To win the competition, the restaurant managers not only strive to increase customer satisfaction but also create customers’ positive electronic Word-Of-Mouth (eWOM). This study aims to investigate the relationship between customer satisfaction, customer trust, customer loyalty, and eWOM. The quantitative method was implemented to examine the hypotheses in the research model. Data were collected from Ho Chi Minh City respondents using a convenient sampling method. Self-administrated questionnaires were delivered via the Internet for data collection. After data screening, 299 responses were qualified for analysis. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis was employed by SmartPLS software version 3.0. The measurement model test showed that one item of customer trust has a factor loading of less than 0.7 as a result, this item was removed from the research model. The structural model evaluation revealed the highly predictive accuracy of the model as all dependent variables have R2 values above 0.5. A bootstrapping test with 5,000 subsamples also showed that customer loyalty significantly influences eWOM, but customer trust does not. Customer satisfaction directly and significantly impacts customer trust and loyalty but has little influence on eWOM. However, the relationship between customer satisfaction and eWOM is significant without the presence of customer loyalty and trust. The indirect effect test also determines the full mediation role of customer loyalty in the relationship between customer satisfaction and eWOM.
Orbit-Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces and Weighted Register Automata
Authors: Bojańczyk Mikołaj , Fijalkow Joanna , Klin Bartek , Moerman Joshua
Published: May 2024

We develop a theory of vector spaces spanned by orbit-finite sets. Using this
theory, we give a decision procedure for equivalence of weighted register
automata, which are the common generalization of weighted automata and register
automata for infinite alphabets. The algorithm runs in exponential time, and in
polynomial time for a fixed number of registers. As a special case, we can
decide, with the same complexity, language equivalence for unambiguous register
automata, which improves previous results in three ways: (a) we allow for order
comparisons on atoms, and not just equality; (b) the complexity is
exponentially better; and (c) we allow automata with guessing.

Authors: Gour Chand Mazumder  , Md. Shahariar Parvez  , Md. Saniat Rahman Zishan  , Md. Habibur Rahman
Published: May 2024

This study aims to present a quantitative cost analysis of hydrogen utilizing a developed alkaline electrolyzer, a similar-capacity imported alkaline electrolyzer, and a similar-capacity PEM electrolyzer.The research also finds the key parameters that can reduce or increase the production cost. One of the subjected electrolyzers is a locally developed Alkaline Electrolyzer (AE); the other two are similar-capacity imported AE and Polymer Electrolytic Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. The study uses the Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER) software for estimating the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) and the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) method for hydrogen production cost estimation. Results show that the imported electrolyzers have higher production costs due to import duty, fees, and taxes. The estimated cost is 88.4% (AE) and 110.3% (PEM), higher than the locally developed electrolyzer. The economic changes also significantly impact production costs. Government policies can reduce the cost by rescheduling the hydrogen components taxes.

VERTICAL INTEGRATION OF CONTRACT FARMING V/S PROCUREMENT FROM TRADERS
Authors: Goel Vinayak
Published: May 2024

The rice export industry in India has traditionally relied on intermediary traders for the procurement of rice from local farmers. However, this study explores the hypothesis that vertical backward integration through contract farming can be a more profitable and sustainable option for rice export companies. The research involves a comprehensive analysis of the economic viability, quality control mechanisms, and supply chain transparency associated with both traditional trader-based procurement and the vertically integrated contract farming model. The study employs qualitative data collection methods. Financial analyses will be conducted to compare the profit margins of companies adopting vertical backward integration versus those relying on traders. Additionally, qualitative assessments will explore the quality assurance mechanisms, supply chain transparency, and long-term sustainability of each model. Preliminary findings should suggest that vertical backward integration offers export companies the advantage of direct control over the cultivation process, enabling them to enforce stringent quality standards. Furthermore, the elimination of intermediaries may result in cost efficiencies, potentially leading to higher profit margins
EVALUATING THE ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF HIGH-QUALITY PLASTICS VS. RECYCLABLE PLASTICS: AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF MONETARY GAIN
Authors: Singhal Kahira
Published: May 2024

The economic viability of high-quality plastics versus recyclable plastics involves various factors. High- quality plastics often provide better performance than recyclable plastics, but it is also costlier due to their production processes and materials. Recyclable plastics. They are cheaper production. They lower durability or performance. Economic viability requires considering multiple aspects like production costs, market demands, environmental impact, recycling, infrastructure, regulations, and end-user preferences. Recycled plastics, often contain higher levels of chemicals such as toxic flame retardants, benzene and other carcinogens, environmental pollutants including brominated and chlorinated dioxins, and numerous endocrine disruptors that can cause changes to the body's natural hormone levels. Recyclable plastics are derived from post-consumer or post-industrial plastic waste. Plastic are polymers, long chains of atoms arranged in repeating units and when recycled, plastic actually gets downcycled, meaning that the quality and durability decreases every time as these long chains of atoms get broken down and shortened The economic evaluation of high-quality plastics versus recyclable plastics is a multifaceted analysis encompassing several critical factors. While high-quality plastics exhibit superior performance characteristics, their elevated costs, attributed to intricate production processes and premium materials, contribute to a higher economic burden. Conversely, recyclable plastics present a potentially more economical production alternative, yet they may compromise on durability and overall performance. Achieving economic viability in this context necessitates a comprehensive examination of various dimensions, including production costs, market demands, environmental implications, recycling infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and end-user preferences. Striking a balance among these considerations is imperative for informed decision-making in the plastic industry. A noteworthy aspect of recycled plastics introduces a complex dimension. These materials often contain heightened concentrations of chemicals, such as toxic flame retardants, benzene, carcinogens, and environmental pollutants like brominated and chlorinated dioxins. Furthermore, a myriad of endocrine disruptors are present, potentially inducing alterations in the body's natural hormone levels. This underscores the importance of understanding the environmental and health ramifications associated with recycled plastics.
TEACHING STUDENTS TO SELF-ASSESS THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF CHEMISTRY USING COGNITIVE STRUCTURE ANALYSIS
Authors: Dandemraju Ananya , Dandemraju Rithvik , Leddo John
Published: May 2024

In previous papers, we presented an assessment methodology called Cognitive Structure Analysis (CSA) that assesses students’ factual, strategic, procedural and rationale knowledge of a subject matter rather than looking at whether students can give the correct answer to a question. These results showed that CS-based assessments were highly reliable predictors of problem solving performance. In Cynkin and Leddo (2023), we explored whether students could be taught to use CSA to self-assess their own knowledge and, in doing so, identify gaps that might need remediation. The Cynkin and Leddo (2023) study showed that students could reliably by taught to self-assess their own calculus knowledge. The present study replicates this previous study and extends it to the subject of high school chemistry. 20 students were taught the chemistry topic of titration. After that, they were taught how to self-assess using CSA and then given a problem solving test. Results showed that students were generally reliable in selfassessing their own knowledge, recognizing when they knew a concept or did not know a concept that was important far more often than they did not realize they needed knowledge they did not have or having the wrong knowledge. Similarly, the self-assessed knowledge, or lack thereof, turned out to be important. The knowledge students correctly knew they had correlated .73 with problem solving performance, whereas knowledge students correctly knew they needed correlated -.44 with problem solving performance, suggesting that the lack of knowledge they knew they needed did hurt their performance. Self-assessments were not perfect as students did not always recognize gaps in their knowledge or that the concepts they had were faulty, both of which correlated negatively with performance, suggesting these deficiencies the self-assessed concepts did adversely affect their performance. Results suggest that students can be taught to self-assess their own knowledge. Further research can focus on whether students can selfremediate as well, and thereby raise their academic performance.

GENERAL ELECTIONS AND THE STOCK MARKET
Authors: Lahoti Parth , V Prakash Aditya
Published: May 2024

India holds general elections every five years to elect representatives for the Lok Sabha, ultimately determining the Prime Minister. These recurrent elections significantly impact the political landscape and investment environment, influencing economic policies, regulatory frameworks, and sectoral dynamics. Indian elections are riddled with far-reaching consequences, with their effects not only limiting themselves to the political landscape but also marginally affecting the stock market and economy. Uncertainty is ubiquitous; ranging from the common sundry labourer to the most accomplished business, a sense of unease underlines the election period. The volatility caused to stock market performance remains the primary anxiety for the market participants, analysts, and policymakers, and there is a certain element of political risk associated within the psyche of potential stakeholders. The relation between political risk and the capital market is not so significant in the long term although it does affect the market in the short term as it dries out quickly soon after the election result is announced. The election result primarily increases the volatility in the market for a few days. Studies have found that the highest average return occurred once the result was announced and subsequently settled down in a few days. A spike of variability was observed in the next seven days period after the election result announcement. It has been observed that the pre-election period usually gets more affected than the post-election period. Political transitions can trigger substantial changes in government policies, economic priorities, and regulations, subsequently affecting various sectors of the economy and companies, the purpose of this paper is to highlight the actual impact of general elections on the stock market. In many instances, the market only substantially fluctuates as a result of political announcements such as law amendments, regulation promulgation, and national elections. However, while

Authors: Pateh Bah Mohamed , Bangura Alimamy
Published: May 2024

In Sierra Leone, higher educational institutions to date lack equipment, infrastructure, and quality electronic learning materials. ICT has not yet become a catalyst for transformational change in the educational system. Most of the efforts to embrace ICT in the national education system have proved futile due to high cost of acquisition of necessary equipment by the users and lack of adequate investment in the national ICT infrastructure. The objective of this paper is in two-folds. First, to examine the current state of ICT use and e-learning, especially as it relates to its impact on teaching and learning. Second, to identify potential areas for improvements with recommendations for policymakers, educators, and other stakeholders on how to leverage the potential of ICT in higher education. Data was electronically collected through questionnaires administered by students and lecturers in selected higher educational institutions using convenient sampling method. ANOVA statistical technique wise employed for data analysis. Findings from the study revealed that a vast majority of the respondents believe that ICT makes provision for more dynamism with up-to-date learning contents and could improve the overall performance of students. Additionally, the study found that ICT adoption rate in Sierra Leone is weak largely because of lack of ICT knowledge and awareness and the high cost of necessary infrastructure. The paper recommends that due to high cost of technology, Government must support higher educational institutions in their acquisition and maintenance; Institutions should make them a matter of priority and budget for them; and the compulsory use of ICT in the classroom must be encouraged.

Authors: Lisbona Guillén Miguel
Published: May 2024

Nuevas identificaciones culturales y religiosas emergieron en Cuba tras la crisis del Periodo Especial (1991-2000). Las transformaciones económicas en la isla para solventar dicha coyuntura permitieron cierta apertura hacia el exterior, como se hizo visible con el interés por el fútbol internacional de las jóvenes generaciones; un hecho coincidente con la visualización en la televisión pública de fútbol europeo. Estas circunstancias han propiciado un paulatino desinterés por el deporte considerado nacional: el béisbol. En las páginas de este artículo se muestra este auge del balompié, así como algunas formas de organización de los nuevos aficionados al fútbol internacional. Una relación con expresiones globales, como la representada por el fútbol, facilitada por el ciberespacio y el uso de redes sociales. La observación propia del trabajo de campo antropológico y las entrevistas abiertas propician la información que, también, aparece en las mencionadas redes sociales.

O presente trabalho objetivou abordar questões teóricas e apresentar reflexões sobre a especialização esportiva precoce no esporte. A estratégia de busca incluiu pesquisas nas bases eletrônicas Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Scielo e Lilacs. Após a seleção das publicações pelos títulos e resumos, uma avaliação foi feita pelos pesquisadores, que determinaram de forma consensual os estudos a serem lidos na íntegra e incluídos na revisão por todos os pesquisadores. Também foram utilizados livros para suporte no entendimento da área. Como principais achados, pode-se destacar que a prática esportiva pode trazer benefícios no processo de desenvolvimento da criança e do adolescente. É uma das etapas da formação esportiva que é formada pela iniciação, especialização e alto desempenho. Durante a especialização esportiva o jovem aprofunda seus conhecimentos e capacidades. Contudo, são adotadas formas de treinamento não condizentes com as características da fase maturacional das crianças. Várias consequências negativas são observadas, como a limitação do repertório motor da criança, o risco de lesões, alterações na maturação biológica e alterações nutricionais devido ao gasto energético exacerbado. Diante dos achados da presente revisão, entende-se que o esporte é uma importante ferramenta para a descoberta e alcance do potencial atlético do indivíduo, desde que, direcionado de forma prazerosa e desafiadora, respeitando os estágios de desenvolvimento motor, cognitivo e emocional. Quanto mais tardia a especialização em relação à puberdade, maiores as chances de sucesso e permanência no esporte escolhido. Porém, características culturais das modalidades esportivas exercem forte influência no processo de desenvolvimento em busca de resultados competitivos antecipadamente.

Os resultados destacaram questões como a “não participação das meninas nas aulas de educação física”, “comportamentos sedentários”, “excesso de peso”, “insatisfações com o corpo” e “hábitos alimentares inadequados”. A análise desses elementos, juntamente com suas inter-relações, proporcionou um aprofundamento nos conhecimentos sobre o estado de saúde dos adolescentes escolares. Conclui-se que esses insights são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento de propostas pedagógicas curriculares conectadas as Bases Nacionais Comuns Curriculares e proporciona uma abordagem mais ampla e crítica no ambiente escolar.

Authors: Marques Junior Nelson Kautzner
Published: May 2024

Pico de desempenho é definido como o ótimo estado de preparação do atleta. O objetivo da revisão sistemática foi de apresentar os estudos relacionados ao desempenho esportivo que detectaram a quantidade de semanas que levaram ao pico de desempenho e a duração do pico. O autor selecionou 18 artigos científicos que identificaram o pico de desempenho. Após essa seleção de artigos, a revisão sistemática utilizou a escala de Galna et al. para estabelecer a qualidade dos estudos. Os resultados estabeleceram os dados conforme o tipo de periodização: periodização tradicional (PT) com 14,1±4,8 semanas de treino até o 1º pico de desempenho e 6±4,8 semanas de duração do 1º pico, PT com 6,5±4,7 semanas de treino até o 2º pico de desempenho e 5,07±4,28 semanas de duração do 2º pico, bloco ATR com 7±4,2 semanas de treino até o pico de desempenho e 2 semanas de duração do pico, periodização de Bompa com 18±2,82 semanas de treino até o pico de desempenho e o tempo do pico não foi mensurado, periodização em bloco (PB) com 12,7±5,8 semanas de treino até o 1º efeito posterior duradouro do treinamento (EPDT) e 9,5±4,9 semanas de duração do 1º EPDT, PB com 4 a 16 semanas de treino até o 2º EPDT e 1 a 6 semanas do 2º EPDT. Em conclusão, a periodização com pico de desempenho foi desenvolvida para modalidades, individuais mas conforme a disputa para os esportes coletivos, esse tipo de concepção pode ser utilizada.

El uso de estrategias lúdicas es importante para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de manera integral ya que, como funciones tan importantes como el tono muscular, entre otros son beneficiadas para el desarrollo motriz. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo explorar las perspectivas teóricas sobre la utilización de estrategias lúdicas y su impacto en el desarrollo de las habilidades motrices básicas, mediante la revisión teórica en fuentes confiables. Dentro de la metodología se utilizó el tipo de investigación bibliográfica-documental, basada en una revisión sistemática utilizando el diagrama de flujo PRISMA, donde se evaluó la teoría planteada a través del método cualitativo usando 120 trabajos y borrados 70 por duplicado incluyendo 15 artículos científicos regionales y de alto impacto de 2019-2023. Dentro de los resultados se pude evidenciar que el método lúdico es altamente efectivo en el desarrollo de habilidades motrices básicas, proporcionando oportunidades adecuadas de estimulación y aprendizaje desde la infancia para que, a su vez, influyan en el desarrollo cognitivo, emocional y social, esta implementación; puede ser beneficiosa tanto desarrollo físico y cognitivo de los infantes, lo que contribuirá mayor compromiso y participación en aprendizaje motor. Utilizar estrategias lúdicas en la enseñanza y aprendizaje de estas habilidades favorece la adquisición y mejora de estas, pues, promueve la participación, motivación, estimulación del desarrollo integral, fomenta la inclusión y cooperación. Por tanto, es fundamental utilizar el método lúdico como enfoque pedagógico en el ámbito de la Educación Física y el desarrollo motriz.
Parents and Health Care Teams Perceptions of Communication in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Published: May 2024

Parents experience a lot of stress in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Then effective communication between parents and members of the care team is an essential component of improving the quality of care. The present study was conducted by qualitative exploratory research method for explaining parents and health care teams' perceptions of communication in NICU. We selected 39 participants by purposive sampling. We collected data through in-depth semi-structured, face-to-face interviews. The transcripts were analysed using the conventional content analysis approach. Three themes were obtained by analyzing the data included, the nature of communication, the theme of factors affecting successful communication, the theme of factor affecting continuity communication. All members of the care team should be involved in parent communication. But according to our results, nurses are more responsible for communicating with parents. Finding from the study indicates the key role of nurses in communicating in the NICU. It is necessary to teach physicians and nurses, especially physicians, how to communicate with parents. Also, health system authorities have an important role in continuing education on communication methods in the NICU.
Qualitative Data Analysis Retreats: Creating New Spaces for Doctoral Student Analytic Work
Authors: Tyndall Deborah , Pestaner Mitzi
Published: May 2024

Qualitative data analysis is recognized as a threshold concept in research education and can be conceptually challenging for doctoral students. While retreats are common approaches to support dissertation writing, we propose an unconventional approach for doctoral education with the use of retreats for qualitative data analysis. Analytic autoethnography was used to examine what features of an off-campus retreat supported data analysis of dissertation research, With the use of a focused agenda, the retreat space offered opportunities for icebreakers to stimulate synthesis thinking, student-led analytic activities, and reflective writing. Data were collected from documents, analytic artifacts, photographs, and reflective journals. We identified three themes pertaining to retreat features to support qualitative analytic work: Analytic Immersion, Analytic Support, and Analytic Reflection. Findings suggest that retreat spaces can be used to support doctoral students navigating the challenges of knowledge acquisition associated with qualitative data analysis. We recommend four key considerations when designing a qualitative analysis retreat: (1) create a space for analytic immersion; (2) design activities to cultivate student agency; (3) situate faculty for optimal student mentoring and support; and (4) allocate time and space reflective practice. This paper contributes to the ongoing conversation of threshold concepts in doctoral education and offers a new approach for supporting students during data analysis.
Rethinking the Two-Body Problem: Using Grounded Theory to Understand Experiences of Partner Hires
Authors: McNaughtan Elisabeth Day , Brown Cameron C. , Jackson Grant R.
Published: May 2024

The abundance of dual-career couples in academia has led many universities to implement partner-hiring policies and practices to extend a job offer to a candidate’s/employee’s partner to either recruit or retain the target hire. Most of the existing research in this area has focused on institutional policies and practices, with less attention given to the experiences of couples who have received such accommodations. The present study used a grounded theory method and qualitative interviews to analyze the process and perceptions of target hires and accommodated hires working in U.S. postsecondary institutions. Participants shared barriers they experienced, strategies employed to optimize their experience, and identified ways institutions can improve partner hiring processes.
