Authors: Kasukari Abdul , Ngaruko Deus D.
Published: December 2023

This paper is based on the study on perception of refugees on food availability, accessibility, and utilization, forms of food rations. It assesses coping strategies
on reduced food rationing and food security for refugee in Nyarugusu Refugee
Camp in Kasulu district, Kigoma region in Western Tanzania.  Data collection involved  a  total  of  395  refugee  households  in  the  study  area  who  were interviewed using structured questionnaires. The collected data were processed and analysed using SPSS software in which descriptive statistics, mainly frequencies were produced and the results presented in bar charts. The study revealed that, the common form of food rationing in practice was in-kind food ration, the most preferred form was a combination of both In-kind food ration and Cash.   It was also revealed that the existing food aid ration was not satisfactory for family use. The food prices in the camp market were not affordable for the family food consumption especially for the majority with low incomes compounded with large families. As a result, upon receiving rationed food they partly sold it in order to get cash which they used to buy other basic goods in the market; or simply exchanged goods in- kind in order to meet human wants.

Authors: Mtae Harrieth G. , Ngaruko Deus D. , Kaserwa Gosbert B.
Published: December 2023

The objective of the study was to assess the impact of Borrower’s qualities on business performance of rural-based SMEs in Kagera region Tanzania. The Study was guided by the theory of the Group Based Micro-financing (GBM) model. It was done in four districts of Kagera region. The study used structured questionnaires composed  of  a  five-point  Likert  Scale.  The quantitative and regression research approach was adopted for the study. A sample size of 279 group borrowers of two commercial banks and two MFIs was used to collect primary data from June to August 2020. The regression analysis was done between three independent variables of Borrower’s qualities against three dependent variables of Business performance. It was found that 98.5 percent, 96.4 percent and 96.0 percent of respondents agreed to have increased knowledge,  family income and household assets,  respectively.  On the other hand,  the hypothesis testing confirmed that  Borrower’s qualities impacted positively on the business performance of rural-based SMEs in  Kagera region. These results imply that Borrower’s qualities under GBM model have a big positive contribution to the business performance of rural-based SMEs. It is therefore recommended that they should be adopted and promoted as a tool for fighting poverty as a result of increasing borrowers’  abilities to engage in prosperous income-generating businesses.

Presidential Palace in New Belgrade: Evaluation Approaches to Post-World War II Architectural Heritage
Authors: Mišić Biljana
Published: December 2023

The discipline of preserving cultural monuments faces the challenge of large-scale contemporary and living heritage, which should be adequately documented and evaluated in order to be effectively protected and preserved. The valorization of architectural heritage, especially its most modern part, requires extensive consideration and estimation due to unstable social conditions, frequently changing purposes and temporal devastation. Many reasons can greatly affect our experience of the past as well as the conclusions, judgments and values we attribute to its monuments. This paper explores approaches to evaluating post-World War II architecture using the example of the Presidential Palace in New Belgrade. The research goal is to contribute to the objective valorization of the building based on different perceptions of the built structure and its surroundings through time, as well as specific meanings and emotions it causes for contemporaries.
Új klasszicizálás vagy „másik modern”? Az átmenet narratívája Kotsis Iván városépítészetében és Balaton-parti munkásságában
Authors:   BME Építészmérnöki Kar Urbanisztika Tanszék, Wettstein Domonkos
Published: December 2023

The tendencies in 20th century architecture were determined by the relationship between the classical tradition of architecture and modernity. In the 1930s, modern architecture came to the fore more and more, but at the same time, both in international architecture and in Hungary, alternative efforts appeared that sought a dialogue between modern architecture, historical traditions and local specificities. This search for an alternative was present in modern architecture throughout the 20th century and is still effective today. The trends with different colors are characterized by the modern concept of the other in the written history of architectural theory. The purpose of this study is to present the interactions between the international and domestic tendencies of the “other modern” through the work of Iván Kotsis. Iván Kotsis was a significant figure in architecture between the two world wars, and in addition to his creative career, he was also a decisive character in the architectural education of the University of Applied Sciences. His views became guidelines for later generations. His work is illustrative to the transition between historicizing and modern architecture, while experimentation with local, regional character was also a decisive inspiration for him in this transition. He established close international relations with the dominant European architects of the era, including the Stuttgart School, classified as an alternative school, and the German architects Paul Schmitthenner and Paul Bonatz. In order to bring a contribution to the field of the history of architectural ideas, the study examines his creative concepts and the relationship between classical and modern architecture on the basis of his autobiography, archival publications and contemporary literature.
"Mediatizált közösségek, identitásformáló narratívák és változó hagyományfogalom az információ korában"
Authors:   MTA Bölcsészettudományi Kutatóközpont Filozófiai Intézete, Szécsi Gábor ,   Pécsi Tudományegyetem
Published: December 2023

Through the everyday use of information technologies (internet, mobile phones, etc.), the logic of the media increasingly determines our life, affects all elements of society and culture, and changes social subsystems such as the economy, politics, science and education. In its essence, pervasive mediatization is a meta-process that, by transforming the entire conditions of socialization and social life, also creates new social forms and enriches our image of the community-forming role of communication with previously unknown nuances. In this article, I try to highlight how the interweaving of personal, community, social and mass communication narratives conveyed in the framework of electronically mediated communication contributes to the development of a new concept of community and tradition, and how this new concept makes our community and social roles related to our communication processes more complex. This study argues that in the context of the narratives transmitted and received in the medium of new media, for the individual who is entwined through his multiplying communication relationships, a community no longer appears as a set of direct interpersonal relationships that take place in a given place, but rather as relationships of trust born through the use of different communication technologies in constant interaction with each other as a whole.
Egy Adorno-összeállítás elé
Authors:   Pécsi Tudományegyetem Bölcsészettudományi Kara, Weiss János
Published: December 2023

By this compilation we celebrate Adorno’s 120th birthday. Adorno’s lecture points to the importance of criticism for a future theory of aesthetics, while Gorsen questions the narrowing of the object of aesthetics to the analysis of canonized works, stressing that art thereby loses the subversive potential to which it was attributed for the student movements. In their interpretations, the authors reconstruct Adorno’s concept of “late work” and his analysis of the culture industry, and carry out a comparative analysis of Adorno and Deleuze.
Frequency of Musculoskeletal Hip Pain among Dentists with Prolong Standing Hours
Authors: Haider Sidra , Habib Ayesha , Shah Syed Saad Ali , Jamal Ahmed , Rabia
Published: December 2023

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders, particularly hip pain, are a notable concern among healthcare professionals, with dentists being significantly affected due to prolonged standing hours. Previous studies have highlighted varying prevalence rates and risk factors, but comprehensive research specifically targeting dentists is limited.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the frequency of musculoskeletal hip pain among dentists and to identify any correlating factors, with a focus on the impact of prolonged standing hours in the dental profession.
Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted involving 250 dentists aged between 20 to 50 years. The sample size was calculated using Epitool software, with a confidence level of 95%, anticipated population proportion of 0.70, and absolute precision of 0.05. Participants were selected using a non-probability consecutive sampling technique. The Hip Dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) questionnaire was utilized to assess hip pain. Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0, focusing on descriptive statistics and employing pie charts, bar charts, and histograms for data representation.
Results: The study found that 58.0% of participants were at a higher risk for developing moderate hip pain. Females were more susceptible to hip pain than males, with 54.0% of the sample being female. The average age of participants was 36.78 years (SD = 11.6). Regarding hip pain on different surfaces: on hard surfaces, 3.2% reported no pain, 19.6% mild, 45.2% moderate, 26.8% severe, and 5.2% extreme pain; on uneven surfaces, these figures were 1.2%, 15.6%, 51.6%, 27.2%, and 4.4% respectively.
Conclusion: The study concludes a significant prevalence of moderate musculoskeletal hip pain among dentists, predominantly attributed to prolonged standing hours. The higher incidence of hip pain in female dentists suggests a need for targeted occupational health strategies in dentistry. The study underscores the importance of ergonomic interventions and workplace modifications to mitigate the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
Wishful Thinking or Valuable Forecasts? The Value of Policy Rate Predictions in Sweden
Authors: Åsa Hansson
Published: December 2023

Economists often provide predictions about future interest or policy rates. In contrast to stock market predictions, these forecasts are typically regarded seriously and presented with a degree of accuracy. This paper explores whether placing more confidence in policy rate predictions than stock market predictions is reasonable. It begins by examining historical policy rates predictions in Sweden, comparing them to actual rates to assess their accuracy. The paper then delves into the discussion of how costs of mispredictions, such as sudden and unexpected policy rate increases, can and should be addressed. Despite the Central Bank making predictions within confidence intervals and the banking sector regulating individuals’ borrowing, the burden of unpredicted rate increases falls almost entirely on individuals. The paper addresses whether that is reasonable.
Designing a Compact High-precision Positioner with Large Stroke Capability for Nanoindentation Devices
Authors: Tarek Mohammad
Published: December 2023

A new design of a fine positioner or high precision driven unit with a large positioning range is proposed for a custom-made in-situ indenter device equipped inside an SEM chamber. The design configuration of the proposed system is size-effective for the confined working area of the SEM chamber. The indentation depths can be precisely varied by controlling the fine positioner driven by a piezoelectric actuator. The main goal is to achieve very deep penetrations toward the bottom layers of tall or large-size scale specimens by single indentation, without the need for sequential indentations. Thus, the proposed design can eliminate the need for sequential adjustments of the specimen position with respect to the indenter tip as currently being practiced by the researchers. The specimen position adjustment after each indentation heavily depends on the coarse positioner and its accuracy level in a sub-millimeter regime which could result in position errors and unwanted lateral forces in the nanoindentation process. Therefore, the sequential indentations technique could lead to considerable variations in the outcomes of nanoindentation tests done on similar specimens. The proposed design will be realized to deploy in the Continuous Stiffness Measurement (CSM) techniques generally used to evaluate elastic properties as a function of continuous penetration depth with high-frequency loading and unloading cycles.

Published: December 2023

Em todas as profissões escolhidas, é sempre necessário buscar as bases e os princípios que as formam para não se desviar dos objetivos para as quais surgiram. Na carreira da magistratura, não é diferente, sobretudo porque a decisão de segui-la não  implica em apenas ter estabilidade de emprego ou aposentadoria, senão a verdadeira escolha por uma vocação que mais se traduz em doação pelos outros, ante a enorme lista de abdicações pessoais. Este artigo visa volver os olhares do magistrado para os princípios previstos no Código de Ética da Magistratura e induzir à reflexão sobre a observância de tais princípios no cotidiano do magistrado e na aplicação do direito. Ainda, almeja destacar a importância da ética do cuidado como mantenedora do amor à vocação seguida e à responsabilidade assumida pelo profissional.
LINCHAMENTO VIRTUAL
Authors: Soares Gabriela
Published: December 2023

A pesquisa motiva-se no surgimento de uma cultura marcada pela exposição de si e do outro e que, em razão da amplitude e difusão das informações, proporciona ferramentas positivas e negativas aos usuários da internet. Tal mecanismo é capaz de propiciar que pessoas, ou grupo de pessoas, se reúnam para “apreciar” um fato e, a partir disso, formar um juízo de valor capaz de trazer consequências que ultrapassam o virtual, invadem o mundo real e acarretam efeitos incomensuráveis. O linchamento virtual aparece como o apedrejamento e a violência física dos tempos medievais, quando havia a agressão incansável do suposto transgressor com mensagens pejorativas até obter seu “assassinato”. Nesse contexto, ressalta-se que, no Brasil, já foram registrados casos de homicídios e suicídios em decorrência da violência on-line. Assim, este artigo analisou a efetividade da Lei 12.965/14 nos aspectos relativos à proteção e responsabilização dos envolvidos no linchamento virtual, especialmente, o expectador, que é aquele que dissemina o ato através de compartilhamento, identificando quando se configura a violação de direitos humanos na internet. Para tanto, buscou-se explorar a dinâmica das relações sociais virtuais, os limites da exposição, liberdade de expressão, comunicação e manifestação de pensamento no ambiente cibernético, bem como o estudo do texto da Lei 12.965/14 no que concerne às responsabilidades.

VIOLÊNCIA DOMÉSTICA CONTRA A MULHER NO ESTADO DE RONDÔNIA
Authors: Sityá Daniela Christina Klemz Eller , Bohn Rudhy Marssal
Published: December 2023

O trabalho visa apresentar o quantitativo de medidas protetivas, inquéritos e ações penais distribuídos em esfera judicial no Estado de Rondônia entre os anos de 2012 a 2017. Tem por finalidade identificar o cenário da violência doméstica contra a mulher no Estado de Rondônia, em termos estatísticos, notadamente das medidas judicializadas, ou seja, aquelas que ingressaram no poder judiciário, tanto para a eventual responsabilização criminal do agressor (por meio dos inquéritos e/ou ações penais), quanto para a aplicação das medidas preventivas e/ou de urgência, com previsão na Lei 11.340/06 — cognominada Lei Maria da Penha — por meio da análise do instrumento jurídico denominado “Pedido de Medidas Protetivas”. Foi realizada pesquisa quantitativa, na qual verificamos o número de processos distribuídos em todas as Comarcas do Estado de Rondônia entre os anos de 2012 a 2017, tanto de pedidos de medidas protetivas quanto de inquéritos, e desses quantos culminaram em ação penal em desfavor do agressor. Verificamos ainda casos em que o agressor voltou a figurar como parte passiva nas referidas ações/pedidos, sendo este um indicativo de possível falta de eficácia da decisão judicial e/ ou da ineficiência do atendimento dos profissionais envolvidos e, portanto, da própria prestação jurisdicional. A importância do estudo se revela na medida que possibilita análises comparativas do Estado de Rondônia com os demais estados da federação, das Comarcas do interior com a Comarca da Capital (onde existe Juizado Especializado e acompanhamento dos casos por Equipe Multidisciplinar) bem como, com os dados demográficos e populacionais, de forma a possibilitar um diagnóstico local do problema, que poderá servir de instrumento de análise para a elaboração, planejamento e implementação de políticas públicas (aqui incluídas as políticas institucionais) para o combate a este tipo de violência, tão complexa e singular quanto ainda marcadamente presente nas relações sociais, de raízes históricas e culturais. Convém mencionar, neste sentido, que o Estado de Rondônia está localizado numa região que enfrenta diversos problemas sociais, com baixo índice de desenvolvimento humano e taxas alarmantes de violência, além de marcante diversidade cultural, o que reclama ainda mais atenção na defesa dos direitos humanos, com atuação eficiente do Judiciário como garantidor desses direitos.

Published: December 2023

A presente dissertação tem como objeto central a otimização da oitiva especial em crianças e adolescentes vítimas ou testemunhas de violência, para fins de minimizar os traumas secundários, que ordinariamente ocorrem no processo de revelação e responsabilização do abusador. Embora o produto proposto atenda a todos os integrantes desse grupo (crianças e adolescentes vítimas ou testemunhas de violência), por necessidade de racionalizar a pesquisa e considerando a condição potencialmente mais traumática optou-se por um recorte do público alvo, centrando foco nas crianças e adolescentes vítimas de violência sexual. Durante a pesquisa aborda-se o desenvolvimento histórico, conceitos e direitos das crianças e adolescentes, estatísticas, aspectos jurídicos e a própria definição de violência sexual, bem como tratamento humanizado de crianças e adolescentes, vítimas ou testemunhas de violência, tanto física quanto sexual, em atendimento a Lei 13431/17. De modo específico, foi objeto de estudo a oitiva especial, apontando seu teor probatório e sua relação com crimes envolvendo abuso sexual. Como estudo de caso apresentam-se os programas relacionados ao procedimento de escuta de crianças e adolescentes no Estado de Rondônia, para então apontar o produto da pesquisa que se trata de um núcleo especializado no acolhimento e tratamento humanizado de crianças e adolescentes vítimas ou testemunhas de violência tanto física quanto sexual.
 
ABSTRACT
The main objective of this dissertation is to optimize the special hearing in Children and Adolescents who are victims or witnesses of violence in order to minimize secondary traumas, which normally occur in the process of disclosing and holding the abuser accountable. Although the proposed product serves all the members of this group (children and adolescents who are victims or witnesses of violence), due to the need to rationalize the research and considering the potentially more traumatic condition, we chose to cut out the target audience, focusing on children and adolescents victims of sexual violence. During the research, the historical development, concept and Rights of Children and Adolescents are addressed, as well as the definition, legal and statistical aspects in relation to sexual violence, in compliance to Act 13431/17. Specifically, the special hearing was studied, pointing out its evidential content and its relationship with crimes involving sexual violence. As a case study, the programs related to the procedure of listening to children and adolescents in the State of Rondônia are presented, and then pointed out the product of the research, which is a center specialized in the reception and humanized treatment of children and adolescents who are victims or witnesses of both physical and sexual violence.

Authors: DE CARVALHO LOPES ERICA MACHADO E SILVA
Published: December 2023

Os organismos transgênicos, também conhecidos por organismos geneticamente modificados - OGM, são possuidores de fragmentos de DNA de outros organismos vivos misturados com o seu código genético. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar os impactos para o meio ambiente decorrentes dos alimentos transgênicos, bem como identificar os principais impactos dos alimentos transgênicos sobre o meio ambiente apontados pela literatura científica, compreender a relação de causalidade entre os impactos apontados e a dinâmica do cultivo e produção dos alimentos transgênicos e verificar a existência de alternativas viáveis à minimização dos impactos identificados. Os riscos à saúde humana e animal e à diversidade biológica pode resultar das características inerentes ao OGM ou de sua potencial transferência a outras espécies. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, descritivo, realizado mediante pesquisa bibliográfica. O resultado mostrou que ainda são limitados os estudos científicos que ofereçam informações conclusivas quanto aos impactos que podem decorrer do plantio e do consumo dos OGM, sendo necessário maior incentivo às pesquisas e debates envolvendo a sociedade e a comunidade científica, sendo que a prevenção deve ser destacada.

educação ambiental empreendedora como ferramenta para práticas mais sustentáveis de desenvolvimento econômico para o produtor rural da LP40 em Candeias do Jamari - Rondônia
Authors: DE SOUSA SOUTO GLAUBER ILTON
Published: December 2023

O trabalho teve como objetivo apontar a Educação Ambiental Empreendedora como uma ferramenta útil para promoção do desenvolvimento econômico e sustentável de produtores rurais, tomando como parâmetro de estudo a população residente na LP 40 no município de Candeias do Jamari – RO. Destacou a importância de se buscar alternativas sustentáveis de desenvolvimento econômico, sendo esse um objetivo, aparentemente, comum a toda comunidade internacional, abordando temáticas como declarações internacionais, Constituição Federal e legislação infraconstitucional que apontam para esse objetivo. Conferiu-se grande destaque ao acesso à informação sobre técnicas, instrumentos e produtos que viabilizam a alta produtividade e o baixo ou inexistente impacto ambiental. Destacaram-se no trabalho alguns empreendimentos, recentemente, introduzidos no Brasil – os Pagamentos por Serviços Ambientais – alguns deles já em execução no estado de Rondônia, como a venda de créditos de carbono na Reserva Extrativista Estadual do Rio Cautário. A coleta de dados da pesquisa apresentou uma grande escassez de informações, serviços e insumos que possam impulsionar a atividade econômica sustentável junto à população entrevistada, embora de forma unânime essa população deseje ser assistida por esses programas. Ao final observou-se que diante do locus e da amostra populacional e territorial é bastante propícia para aplicação da Educação Ambiental Empreendedora e que poderá desenvolver a economia local sustentavelmente se acompanhada de incentivos do Estado.

POLÍTICA PÚBLICA PARA ADOLESCENTE INFRATOR/A
Authors: ARAÚJO HELENA DE JESUS ABREU
Published: December 2023

Esta tese tem como tema de estudo “A política pública para adolescente in­frator/a: uma análise da medida socioeducativa de internação em Porto Velho (2016/2018)”. A proposta da pesquisa foi analisar a medida socioeducativa de privação de liberdade em Porto Velho/RO, considerando a implantação do SINASE (Sistema Nacional de Atendimento Socioeducativo) em 2012. A pro­blemática levantada foi a de identificar de que maneira o SINASE efetivou-se em Porto Velho e, a partir disso, responder às indagações: essa política tem cumprido com o objetivo de socioeducar o/a adolescente autor/a de ato in­fracional? De que forma o Sistema de Garantia de Direitos tem realmente ga­rantido os direitos humanos de adolescentes infratores/as e a proteção desse grupo? Sendo essas as questões, a hipótese é de que há uma correlação entre a não efetivação do SINASE em Porto Velho/RO e a reincidência, os óbitos e/ou inserção de jovens no sistema penal. O objetivo geral da pesquisa foi anali­sar a medida socioeducativa de internação em Porto Velho/RO, considerando a implantação do SINASE. Formulou-se como objetivos específicos: Conhecer os procedimentos psicossociais adotados nas Unidades de Internação Mas­culina Sentenciados do município de Porto Velho/RO; Identificar as condições estruturais das Unidades de Internação Masculina Sentenciados do município de Porto Velho/RO; Conhecer a atuação dos atores que fiscalizam a execução da medida socioeducativa de privação de liberdade em Porto Velho/RO; Apre­sentar os dados estatísticos sobre a reincidência de internação no sistema socioeducativo, de inserção no sistema penal e de óbitos. Os dados foram coletados por meio de análise de relatórios e de pesquisa de campo com a utilização da técnica de entrevista estruturada, com aplicação de um roteiro para conduzir o diálogo entre a pesquisadora e o entrevistado. A análise de dados foi realizada utilizando-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo, e as repos­tas das entrevistas foram organizadas em algumas categorias. Os resultados da pesquisa aqui expostos identificaram, no geral, que há uma discrepância entre o que preconiza o ECA e o SINASE e a realidade dos adolescentes em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa de privação de liberdade em Porto Velho/RO, sobretudo, nas questões relacionadas à estrutura física da unidade de internação executora do programa e o quantitativo de pessoal da equipe técnica responsável pela execução da medida. O Sistema de Garantia de Direi­tos em Porto Velho também não está sendo efetivado em conformidade com o que preconizam as referidas Leis. Este trabalho, no entanto, tem a proposta de ampliar o debate sobre o atendimento direcionado aos/às adolescentes envolvidos/as na prática de atos infracionais, a fim de viabilizar a inclusão desses/as nas principais políticas públicas, conforme preconizam o Estatuto e o SINASE.

A Study on Make in India Job Opportunities in India
Authors: Thummalapally Hareesh Kumar
Published: December 2023

India has had a significant issue with the creation of jobs. The “Make in India” programme aspires to make India a centre for global manufacturing and create enough jobs. However, there are significant challenges to the success of Make in India due to the state of the industrial industry today. The sector’s absorptive capacity has a history of declining, which raises severe concerns about the campaign’s ability to achieve its goals. In this situation, concentrating only on the manufacturing industry seems like a bad plan. The article makes the case that a better method is to discover suitable industrial products and services that can provide enough employment and spark growth. Along with this identification, it has become crucial to educate and skill India in order to prepare the workforce for opportunities for successful employment.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the school climate and organizational learning capacities of teachers in the Polanco II District during the calendar year 2020. In this study, a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design was used. Data from 154 instructors in the Polanco II District are collected using frequency counting and percent, weighted mean, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman Rank-Order Correlation. The findings revealed that the perceived degree of school climate was very high. All indicators had standard deviations less than 3.00, indicating that the mean responses were closely clustered. Organizational learning capability was assessed to be quite capable. According to the data, teachers' assessed school climate and organizational learning capability are highly associated and significantly related to organizational learning capability.

Outcome-Based Education in Response to Higher Education Reforms in Cambodia
Authors: Saint Meassnguon
Published: December 2023

Doing things with specific goals and plans may help to avoid failure. Generally, three main educational goals, namely personal, economic, and civic, have played a vital role in the socioeconomic development of a country. The Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport (MoEYS) in Cambodia has developed National Higher Education Qualifications Framework (NQF) and Qualification Standards since 2015. It has also formulated a series of Education Strategic Plans (ESP), including ESP 2009-1013, ESP 2014-2018, and ESP 2019-2023. Since the development of the NQF, many Cambodian higher education institutions (HEIs) have modified their programs to meet the NQF requirements. The minimum requirements for graduates’ learning outcomes include five elements, such as (a) knowledge; (b) cognition; (c) interpersonal skills and responsibility; (d) communication skills, numeracy, and information technology; and (e) psychomotor skills (MoEYS, 2015, 2019).
Challenges of Online Learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Survey of Cambodian High School Students
Authors: Em Sereyrath
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted every aspect of society. It has caused intense disturbance to the education system worldwide as governments around the world have temporarily postponed physical classes and moved them online to prevent the spread of the virus. These sudden changes from face-to-face to online learning have caused numerous challenges for students, teachers, administrators, and education leaders. Against this background, this survey research was conducted with 80 high school students in Takeo province, Cambodia, to find out the challenges these students face during the pandemic. The results show that limited access to the internet was the most challenging problem, while other challenges included interruptions at home, ineffectiveness of teachers, lack of smartphones and money to recharge phone credits, difficulties in navigating online learning, and eye problems caused by constant exposure to bright light. Further studies should be conducted to explore the challenges faced by high school teachers and administrators.

Published: December 2023

Communications using radio waves propagates through the atmosphere and plays a major role in civilization. Vertical variation of radio refractivity in Lafia( 8.492°N and 8.517°E ) Nigeria, was investigated with a five-year (2010 – 2014) monthly mean atmospheric layered data from the ATOVS (Advanced TIROS (Television InfraRed Observation Satellite) Operational Vertical Sounders) instruments flying onboard the NOAA and Metop-A satellites; this data is provided by the EUMETSAT’s Climate Monitoring Satellite Application Facilities (CM SAF). Using the CM SAF data, at six pressure levels (1000hPa, 850hPa, 700hPa, 500hPa, 300hPa and 200hPa), the monthly mean of radio refractivity were estimated and the results analyzed. Also, the diurnal variation of the surface radio refractivity was also investigated using the data from the automatic weather station (model no WS104) installed at the Department of Physics, Federal University Lafia. Results obtained showed that the vertical model of the radio refractivity N, in Lafia could be given as N=No exp(-h⁄ho ),where No, the surface radio refractivity, was found to be approximately equal to 288.1 N-units, while the scale height ho, was found to be approximately equal to 8.40km; it was found that sub-refraction predominates in Lafia at all seasons. The diurnal range of surface radio refractivity as measured by the in-situ weather station was found to be between 325.0 and 365.0 N-units, with a maximum in the morning and minimum in the afternoon
Hen: Queer Puppet Cabaret, Utopian Perspectives for Sexual Bodies
Authors: Hirel Antoine
Published: December 2023

Named after the gender-neutral Swedish pronoun, Hen is a queer puppet show, created and performed by the French artist Johanny Bert. In this performance, the body of the puppet, made of wood, foam and, fabric, is used like a “jigsaw” - assembling different pieces together in order to create and reveal a form, an image, a meaning. It becomes the material for a new vision of how we conceive and construct the body, as it deconstructs essentializing, binary, heteronormative identities, envisioning greater possibilities and pluralities of bodies. Through the vision of non-human object in the space of a theatre, Johanny Bert unveils and rethinks the relationship sexuality and society maintain together by showing sexuality as a theatrical utopia where new forms of bodies and desires can be revealed. Guided by an interdisciplinary approach combining both Gender Studies and Visual Studies, this article talks about how the plasticity of the puppetting object can affect the perception of our own bodies. How and where does the show Hen manifest utopia for the human body and sexuality? Johanny Bert puts the concept of anthropomorphism as the threshold for questioning human sexuality into the theatre and challenges the ways we define and circumscribe bodies and desires, inviting new perspectives for sexual and corporeal paradigms, too.

Quelques points de comparaison entre les deux
plus anciens régimes intégrés d’indemnisation
des victimes d’accidents d’automobile : Québec et Nouvelle-Zélande
Authors: Gardner Daniel
Published: December 2023

La Nouvelle-Zélande et le Québec représentent, en matière d’accidents d’automobile,
les deux plus anciens systèmes d’indemnisation sans égard à la responsabilité.
La première partie de ce texte vise à comparer les indemnités et les services dispensés
à leurs clientèles les plus importantes, les personnes gravement blessées. C’est
ici que ces régimes démontrent le mieux leurs avantages par rapport au régime traditionnel
de la responsabilité civile. Une seconde partie porte sur le point sensible de
ces régimes : la compensation des pertes non pécuniaires. Le régime québécois s’en
tire ici mieux que son homologue néo-zélandais, ce qui amène l’auteur à s’interroger
sur les limites qu’il convient de fixer à un régime universel d’indemnisation.
Determinants of Total Compensation for
Auto Bodily Injury Liability Under No-Fault:
Investigation, Negotiation
and the Suspicion of Fraud
Authors: Derrig Richard A. , Weisberg Herbert I.
Published: December 2023

Auto Bodily Injury Liability claim payments are predominantly negotiated settlements,
with less than two percent the result of complete litigation and jury trials. All settlements
consist of a combination of claimed economic loss, called special damages, and a payment
for “pain and suffering”, called general damages. The dependence of the total
compensation on a variety of factors relating to the type and magnitudes of the economic
losses, medical and wage loss, and to the type and severity of injury has been explored by
prior researchers who found medical losses to be the primary determinant of total compensation
but they also found that other severity variables play a distinct and significant
role in the final settlement values. Further research introduced the notion that both the
information gathered in the course of investigation and the adjuster’s attitude toward the
quality of the claim, especially the suspicion of fraud, also played a significant role in the
final settlement value. Recently, it has been shown that settlement values for subjective
injury claims are systematically lower relative to special damages and indicate that insurers
use their negotiating power to obtain lower settlements on questionable claims as a
rational response to the presence of fraud and build up claims. The current paper extends
that research by examining additional variables specifically related to the investigation
and negotiation processes and quantifying the effect of those variables on the final total
compensation. In particular, we find that strain and sprain claims command lower general
damages relative to specials, even in the absence of suspicion of fraud and build up, but
that the intensity of suspicion of fraud and build up can reduce overall payments as much as 24 percent. For the first time, the negotiating effect of attorney demands enters the
quantitative model in addition to the usual contingency fee. Finally, evidence that insurers
are isolating low impact collisions and reducing the compensation through negotiation is
explored and quantified.
