Authors:   Department of Information Systems Makerere University Business School, Paul Kasse John , Nansamba Christine ,   Department of Information Systems Makerere University Business School
Published: January 2024

This study was conducted in institutions of higher learning from different regions of the country. The participants included students, academic staff and technical staff. Numerous digital assessment-related challenges experienced during the Covid-19 were identified such as the slow Learning Management System (LMS), and failure to access the digital assessment system, among others. Data was collected through closed-ended questionnaires and interviews with key informants. Quantitative data was analysed descriptively using R, whereas qualitative data was analysed using Amos. Reliability and validity of the questionnaire were tested by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test, respectively. The results were ranked based on the challenges that appeared most frequently to the least presented. A best practice model is presented with guidelines and measures for achieving successful administration of digital assessments for all stakeholders in the education ecosystem. It is anticipated that the successful adoption and implementation of the model will lead to effective and sustainable education management. Design science, an artefact-based methodology, was used to support the design of the model. The design followed design science-recommended steps. The model is, however, yet to be validated among the body of experts

Educação de jovens e adultos – uma educação da resistência
Authors: Souza Lara Nascimento Dias de , Barbosa Maria Edivani Silva
Published: January 2024

Este escrito objetiva realizar um levantamento sobre a história da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) vinculada aos processos de formação dos direitos no Brasil, em especial, o direito político e o direito civil, direito ao voto e o direito à educação, respectivamente, configurando uma pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo documental e bibliográfica. Nessa trajetória, a legislação brasileira foi analisada a fim de verificar as diretrizes a respeito da EJA; e para auxiliar na análise desse conteúdo, os estudos foram respaldados pelas obras de Poubel, Pinho e Carmo (2017), Pierro (2008), Leite (2013), Feitosa (2012, 1999), Carneiro (2018) e Freire (2005, 1979). Como resultado, constata-se que, no processo da constituição do Brasil como um Estado Nacional Moderno, o direito à educação transformou-se em um campo de luta e resistência por aqueles que sempre tiveram sua cidadania negada em decorrência da sua condição social, de sua classe, raça e gênero. A Constituição de 1988 e a LDB de 1996 são consideradas uma vitória no que se refere ao reconhecimento e regulamentação da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) como modalidade de ensino, haja vista o amplo histórico de negação de direitos que foi imposto justo àqueles(as) que a procuram. Destacam-se os movimentos sociais e o trabalho de Paulo Freire como caminhos que trouxeram consciência aos trabalhadores(as) sobre a sua condição em uma sociedade dividida pelas classes sociais.
Election Dispute Resolution and Justice as Fairness: A Study of Regional Head Elections in Indonesia
Authors: Indarto Ervan Kus , Wirayuda Arya Wanda , Arianto Oni Dwi , Firdaus Rima , Ufomba Henry
Published: January 2024

Abstract: The concept of justice is still relevant for debate, involving two political and legal perspectives. However, the two met in the context of resolving election disputes. Namely the election justice mechanism to resolve all forms of election disputes. This study will focus on resolving election result disputes, the 2020 Regional Head Election Results Dispute. John Rawls is a philosopher and political theorist who strongly influenced the tradition of justice theory. The concept of justice is offered from criticism of utilitarianism and intuitionism. Justice as fairness is a concept of justice that is procedurally fair but also justice that benefits as well as opportunities that are just (equal).
Purpose: This article aims to elaborate Regional Head Election Results Dispute from Rawls’ justice as fairness approach to resolve election disputes.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The research method used is qualitative research. Using a descriptive approach and literature study as data collection techniques. 
Findings: There is still a serious debate about achieving the concept of justice between substantive and procedural justice in electoral studies regarding the equitable settlement of election result disputes. A just Regional Head Election Results Dispute indicates the degree of democracy in implementing direct, general, free, confidential, and honest, fair elections (LUBER JURDIL). Constitutional democracy is a meeting point between Rawls' democratic tradition and Plato's nomocracy.
Originality/value: Many articles on Regional Head Election Results Dispute philosophically explain Rawls’ justice as a fairness concept. However, this article explores the relationship between Regional Head Election Results Dispute phenomenon through Rawls’ philosophical concepts.
ASEAN Member States Responses to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Authors: Asri Aulia
Published: January 2024

Abstract: The military aggression that occurred on February 24, 2022, triggered a global crisis that certainly impacted the Southeast Asian region in various fields such as economics, politics, and security. ASEAN as an international organization in the region has made a statement to seek peaceful dialogue and urge a ceasefire so that military aggression in Ukraine can find a peaceful way and reduce civilian casualties and losses.
Purpose: To find out the response of ASEAN members to Russia's military aggression against Ukraine.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Data was collected through a literature study of previous works and official documentation from ASEAN and its member states. From this research, it can be seen how each ASEAN member country responds to Russia's military aggression invasion of Ukraine. In addition, this research also comparatively describes the responses of the ASEAN members.
Findings: The comparison of ASEAN member states responses to Russia's military aggression against Ukraine varies. Some condemned the military aggression such as Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. Some only did not respond or were neutral such as Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Some support the military aggression, such as Myanmar. The difference in response is due to the national political interests of each country.
Originality/Value: This study focuses on ASEAN member countries that responded to Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, so the author believes that no one has studied with the same focus as this research.
Aceh’s Democratic Landscape: Exploring the Role and Impact of Local Political Parties
Authors: Yuriadi Yuriadi , Herlambang Probojati Bayu , Hasan Naura Darrin
Published: January 2024

Abstract: After issuing Law No. 18/2001 on Special Autonomy for the Special Province of Aceh. The central government has given extensive concessions to Aceh Province by delegating various authorities, including forming local Aceh political parties. Local political parties are political organizations formed voluntarily based on similarities of will and ideals to fight for the interests of the community, nation, and state through the election of members of the Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Aceh, Governor, Regent, and Mayor. the existence of local political parties is considered effective in carrying out their roles and functions, especially in implementing the party system in the special autonomy region of Indonesia.
Purpose: This study aims to identify and comprehend the role played by Aceh’s local political parties in the local-level implementation of democratization.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This research method uses a legal research method with a conceptual and statutory approach.
Findings: The results of the study show that the existence of Acehnese local parties can provide political advantages for interest groups to seize power, with the presence of local parties given way as a political vehicle to mobilize power in its government, both in the legislature and the executive. The existence of local parties can embrace all the aspirations of the Acehnese people more specifically than national parties. For this reason, local parties can support the implementation of special autonomy in Aceh.
Originality/Value: There are many studies on local parties in Aceh, but this research explores the existence of local parties in implementing local democracy in Aceh.
Revitalizing Political Parties in Indonesia: Dissecting Patronage-Clientelism Dynamics vis-à-vis Political Representation
Authors: Mutawalli Muhammad , Ayub Zainal Amin , Faga Hemen Philip
Published: January 2024

Abstract: This paper discusses and describes the patron-client phenomenon within political parties. One of the reasons why patron-client relations persist in political parties is that the interests of the political elite are veiled and do not prioritize the dynamic aspects of democratization of political parties as a forum for people's representation. The method used in this study is a normative juridical research method using a statutory and conceptual approach and presented in a formal way qualitative descriptive prescriptive. Data was collected using the interview method, the researcher interacted with informants who were flexible and open to obtain the data needed in this paper. The theory used in this paper is the general patron-client theory, which has developed and is influenced by the political culture within the internal political parties. The results of this study indicate that the patron-client relationship between political parties and cadres is good in the aspects of party elites and candidates legislature. Regional head candidates that occur give rise to a reciprocal relationship which has implications for the non-occurrence of democratization schemes and principles within political parties as a forum for people's representation that will fill public positions. The patron-client phenomenon includes, among other things, personal gifts, interests that are family interest or morphological and have the nuances of money interest.
Purpose: To find out the forms of patron-client practices within political parties and society that give rise to reciprocal relationships that impact political polarization of representation that does not work well and is far from the principle of political party cadres as a representation of the people's will. as well as finding ideal concepts related to patterns of relations between parties, both relations between cadres, political parties and society in general.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Normative juridical using the statute and conceptual approaches.
Findings: The patron-client phenomenon can be caused by a lack of awareness and political education, as well as inconsistency and inadequate performance within political parties, both at the institutional level and among members of the legislature and executive.
Originality/Value: Examining patronage-clientalism within the context of political parties has received limited scholarly attention. The topic of voting behaviour during general elections often revolves around patronage-clientelism. However, this study specifically examines the phenomenon of patronage-clientelism within political parties and its implications for political corruption.
Efforts To Increase Economic Growth By Reducing The Poverty Rate of West Sumatra Province
Authors: Subiyantoro Heru , Zaki Zaki
Published: January 2024

The Indonesian government realizes that national development is an effort to achieve the goal of a just and prosperous society. In line with this goal, various development activities have been directed toward regional development, in relatively underdeveloped areas. Regional development is carried out in an integrated and sustainable manner according to the priorities and needs of each region with national development goals and targets that have been determined through long-term and short-term development. In reducing the number of poor people, the main thing that must be done for growth is to choose a development strategy or instrument. This means that one of the main criteria for selecting the focus sector or mainstay sector for national development is effectiveness in reducing the number of poor people. Poverty is a problem faced by all countries in the world. Poverty is considered the inability to meet a minimum standard of living. Poverty is a complex problem, so it is hoped that the government can eradicate poverty in Indonesia. One effort to improve economic performance is by carrying out national development to be able to create jobs and organize a decent life to realize the welfare of the Indonesian population. The Indonesian government realizes that national development is one of the efforts to achieve the goals of a just and prosperous society. In line with this goal, various development activities have been directed toward regional development, in fairly underdeveloped areas. Regional development is carried out in an integrated and sustainable manner according to the priorities and needs of each region with national development goals and targets that have been determined through long-term and short-term development. The type of research used is qualitative research. This research method is non-doctrinal (normative empirical) legal research, namely research that examines field theories that are developed not based on doctrine, but laws that live and develop and apply in society. The type of research in this research is also called empirical juridical research, which in other words is a type of sociological legal research and can also be called field research, namely studying applicable legal provisions and what happens in reality in society. The results of the research are that an ever-growing population demands continuous economic development. All of this requires more investment. For developing countries, rapid population growth is an obstacle to economic development, because these countries have little capital. Other researchers state that population growth and labor force growth (which occurs several years after population growth) are traditionally considered the factors that increase economic growth
Strengthening the Role of Advocates in Providing Legal Assistance to Indonesian Society
Authors: Suparno Suparno , Qorib Qorib
Published: January 2024

The role of Advocates in providing legal assistance to the community is regulated in Article 1 number 1 Chapter I of Law Number 16 of 2011 concerning Legal Aid, which states: "Legal Aid is a legal service provided by Legal Aid Providers free of charge to Legal Aid Recipients". Meanwhile, the recipients of legal aid here are impoverished people or people and Legal Aid Providers are Legal Aid Institutions or community organizations that provide legal aid services as described in Law Number 16 of 2011 concerning Legal Aid. According to Law Number 18 of 2003 Article 1 number 9, Chapter I provides the meaning that "Legal Aid is a legal service provided by Advocates free of charge to clients who cannot afford it". Legal aid can be provided to everyone without distinguishing a person's social status. This is like what exists in a legal state (rechtsstaat) where the state recognizes and protects the human rights of every individual. The state's recognition of individual rights implies inequality of standing before the law for all people. Article 28 D paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution reads, "Everyone has the right to recognition, guarantees, protection, and fair legal certainty as well as equal treatment before the law." Consequently, Advocates play an important role in upholding legal protection in society. Therefore, the role of Advocates must always be enhanced and supported by the government

Estado laboral y educativo de jóvenes rurales egresados de tecnología pecuaria: análisis mixto de factores asociados en municipios de Caldas, Colombia.
Authors: Pérez-Bedoya José Leandro , Ríos-Londoño Dora Miryam , López-Ramírez Andrés Mauricio
Published: January 2024

Generar opciones laborales y educativas de nivel superior para jóvenes rurales favorece su progreso socioeconómico, amplía sus posibilidades de ingresar al mundo laboral y contribuye a mejorar la calidad de vida en el campo. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la evolución de tales aspectos en egresados de la Tecnología en Desarrollo Pecuario de la Universidad de Manizales, del programa Universidad en el Campo (modelo pedagógico Escuela Nueva) entre 2015 y 2019, en cinco municipios del departamento de Caldas (Colombia). A través de cuatro categorías establecidas se empleó una metodología cuantitativa-cualitativa, con 3 tipos de encuestas como instrumentos de análisis, dirigidas a egresados, familias y empresarios pecuarios de cada zona. Se evidenció que la mayoría de egresados optaron por laborar en vez de continuar estudios de nivel superior, debido a escasas oportunidades laborales en los territorios y falta de interés de empresarios locales por generar empleo para tecnólogos pecuarios. Se enfatiza en la necesidad de optimizar el modelo pedagógico con la implementación de estrategias como orientación vocacional oportuna, inserción laboral directa de egresados en proyectos de investigación y fortalecimiento de competencias laborales actuales y emergentes, para mejorar la calidad de la educación superior y la transición al mundo laboral de los jóvenes en las zonas rurales de Caldas.
Bienestar de niñas y niños de 2 a 3 años durante el juego de bloques: un estudio de casos en escuelas infantiles de Galicia
Authors: Franco López José Pablo , Vila-Couñago Esther , Ferradás Blanco Rodolfo Lois
Published: January 2024

El bienestar de las niñas y niños durante el juego es algo que se da por hecho, pues las personas adultas entienden que se divierten y aprenden, pero son escasos los estudios que abordan esta cuestión. Este trabajo pretende identificar cuáles son las manifestaciones de bienestar que presenta el alumnado de cuatro aulas de dos a tres años, de escuelas diferentes, cuando juega con bloques unidad. Se explora la diferente organización espacial (taller y rincón) y el tipo de intervención de la tutora o tutor. Se desarrolló un estudio de casos múltiple donde la observación fue el método principal y la entrevista a docentes, la técnica complementaria. Se analizaron tres sesiones de un total de quince grabadas en cada escuela, empleando una escala de observación que permitió obtener porcentajes de los distintos niveles de bienestar. Las respuestas de las personas entrevistadas se analizaron siguiendo un procedimiento inductivo-deductivo y un criterio temático. Los resultados muestran un alto grado de bienestar en los cuatro casos, un alto y similar nivel de bienestar tanto en taller como en rincón, y un bienestar más elevado cuando hay una mayor intervención del docente. La risa, los gritos de diversión, la relajación, estar con energía, confianza y seguridad son las manifestaciones más detectadas. Se concluye que el juego de construcción con bloques, en condiciones apropiadas, es una propuesta pedagógica muy adecuada para alumnado de esa edad. Se proponen los espacios familiares de las escuelas y la acción tutorial como estrategias oportunas para difundir esta experiencia.
acción tutorial para el aprendizaje competencial en educación primaria: opinión de orientadores de equipos de orientación
Authors: Ruiz-Rodríguez Olga , Vieira María-José
Published: January 2024

Las competencias clave son un elemento curricular esencial en el marco del aprendizaje permanente promovido por la Unión Europea. En España, este enfoque competencial del aprendizaje ha sido impulsado por la actual ley de educación. Este estudio tiene como objetivo conocer la percepción de los orientadores y las orientadoras provenientes de Equipos de Orientación sobre su contribución al desarrollo del enfoque competencial del aprendizaje en Educación Primaria a través del asesoramiento a la acción tutorial. Se han realizado entrevistas semiestructuradas a 15 de los 17 profesionales de la orientación que componen los Equipos de Orientación Educativa de la ciudad de León. Las entrevistas han sido transcritas y su contenido ha sido analizado mediante el software de análisis cualitativo MAXQDA 2022. Los resultados indican que la tutoría es un factor determinante para el aprendizaje competencial por dos motivos: por una parte, la tutoría guarda estrecha relación con la Competencia Personal, Social y de Aprender y Aprender, junto con otras como son la Competencia Ciudadana y la Competencia Emprendedora y, por otra, favorece la coordinación horizontal y vertical en el uso de metodologías activas y criterios de evaluación para el aprendizaje competencial. No obstante, se concluye que, aunque la tutoría es una función asignada a los docentes, debe ser impulsada desde el liderazgo de los equipos directivos, compartida por toda la comunidad educativa con distintos grados de responsabilidad entre agentes, entre los que los orientadores y las orientadoras deben jugar un papel fundamental en su función de asesoramiento y dinamización.
Necesidades de orientación profesional para desarrollar el emprendimiento en la universidad
Authors: Romero-García Carolina
Published: January 2024

Los cambios sociolaborales y el mundo tan flexible donde nos vemos inmersos rompen los esquemas preestablecidos; esto ha influido en las dificultades de acceso al empleo que tiene el alumnado universitario, unido a las dificultades de definición de perfiles profesionales con valor de mercado. Es el caso del Grado en Pedagogía, una titulación tradicionalmente marcada por sus salidas laborales hacia la educación formal, sin considerar otras opciones posibles, como el emprendimiento. Por esto, es cada vez más recurrente trabajar con el alumnado de Pedagogía, desde las aulas y los servicios de orientación profesional, competencias que favorezcan su desarrollo profesional. Este estudio se plantea conocer la situación del emprendimiento en la universidad, identificando necesidades de orientación profesional en emprendimiento del alumnado de Pedagogía, de todas las universidades públicas españolas en las que se imparte. Se emplea una metodología mixta, mediante: 1) un cuestionario aplicado a una muestra de 486 estudiantes de último curso de Pedagogía, de las 19 universidades donde esta titulación se imparte; 2) una entrevista semiestructurada a 17 profesionales de orientación y emprendimiento. Los datos se analizan mediante los softwares informáticos SPSS y NVIVO, aplicando la técnica DAFO como estrategia de integración metodológica o triangulación. Los resultados permiten identificar de necesidades de orientación profesional que presenta el alumnado en un momento cercano a su incorporación al mercado laboral, a nivel personal como profesional. Se reflexiona sobre la innovación en el planteamiento de propuestas de orientación profesional y de emprendimiento en la universidad, concretamente en los estudios de Pedagogía.

Fire Protection and the Marine Industry
Authors: McDevitt John
Published: January 2024

Widely accepted fire protection safety practices influence how we build, occupy and what we do in our homes, businesses and public places and have been in effect in the United States since the 19th century. These same fire protection practices and guidelines are not afforded to the occupants of a boat. There are a number of basic dimensions to acceptable fire protection practice that I view as shortcomings in the marine industry. Statistics, regulation, construction and common sense sometimes are neglected in the marine industry when compared to fire protection efforts elsewhere.
Biomechanical Assessment of Small Craft Collisions

Published: January 2024

Six staged watercraft collisions were performed to assess the corresponding boat dynamics and boat operator kinematics. Each boat was operated remotely through a series of handheld radio transmitters capable of controlling steering, throttle, and a master kill switch. The impact angles varied and the differences in traveling speed between the impacted (target) boat and the striking (bullet) boat just prior to impact was approximately 20 knots. Triaxial accelerometers mounted to the deck of each boat provided sensor data that was measured and recorded using several MotionMaster EDR-6DOF recorders. Hybrid-II anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) were placed in occupant positions and their resulting kinematics recorded. Deck triaxial acceleration data was used as input to a lumped-mass human dynamics model (MADYMO) to understand occupant kinematics and potential for injury. Noted results include the presence of large vertical (z-axis) deck accelerations. Results were analyzed to assess expectations regarding occupant kinematics as a function of speed, attitude, positions of target and bullet craft, as well as boat design parameters. The role of grip strength in the ability of an occupant to hold on to available railings in the face of an imminent collision was assessed. The collision geometry was analyzed in terms of USCG Rules requirements and expectations regarding operation in extremis. Within the impact velocities and angles studied in this test series, results indicated a low risk of head and neck injuries during the first phase of the collisions.
Improved Design of a Search and Rescue boat for the Royal Netherlands Lifeboat Institution
Authors: Keuning Jan Alexander
Published: January 2024

The Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institution (KNRM) exploits a fleet of lifeboats around the North Sea coast of the Netherlands. The majority of this fleet consists nowadays of so called Rigid Inflatable Boats “RIB’s”. The largest vessels in the fleet are from the “Arie Visser” class, with a length of around 18.5 meters and a maximum speed of 35 knots. These are all weather boats on the North Sea and its coastal areas and self-righting. The Lifeboat Institution plans to replace the 10 boats in this class in the next 10 years. So an improved design (if possible) is sought for.

A design group has been composed for this purpose consisting of the Shiphydromechanics Department of the Delft University of Technology, Design office W. de Vries Lentsch, (the designers of the existing boats) and the High Speed Craft Department of Damen Shipyards.

Based on the requirements of the Sea Rescue Institution (KNRM) the group developed two new designs. These designs were initially derived using computer simulations and calculations. The emphasis in these new designs was on improved operability of the Search and Rescue boats in their typical working environment and improved habitability (i.e. noise and vibrations).

To assess the differences in performances of these designs in calm water and in waves an extensive test program has subsequently been set up and carried out with the three designs: i.e. the existing design Arie Visser and the two new designs.

Extensive full scale measurements on the existing boats of the “Arie Visser” class had already been carried out in the past and these results were used to specify the behaviour of the existing boats as a bench mark. Then the three designs, i.e. the Arie Visser, the Concept 1 and the Concept 2, have been tested for their resistance, sinkage and running trim in calm water. In addition their behaviour with high forward speeds in head irregular waves have been tested with emphasis on measuring motions and vertical accelerations.

Next their behaviour in high stern quartering, following and beam seas has been investigated with free sailing models in the Ship Model Basin of MARIN to compare the new designs with the existing one for difference in a possible tendency for bow diving and broaching behaviour in these high seas.

In addition severe breaking waves have been simulated in the towing tank and the models run through these both in head as well as following waves conditions.

The findings based on the computer simulations have been compared with the results from the measurements. The results of this research project will be summarized and presented in the present paper.
At-Anchor Wind-Induced Yaw Instability of a Monohull Motoryacht
Authors: Soja Jonathan , Bowles Jeffrey
Published: January 2024

There is a delicate balance that must exist between the aerodynamic, hydrodynamic, and mooring forces acting on a floating body restrained by a single anchor (single point mooring). If the balance is not achieved, the floating body will exhibit undesirable motions which have been referred to by the industry as horsing, fishtailing, kiting, and “sailing about at anchor.” Significant work related to the offshore oil industry documents these yaw instabilities on single point moorings; however, the knowledge base is not very well disseminated outside of the offshore sector, especially when considering that vessels of all types are susceptible to this phenomenon.

When the aerodynamic forces dominate the hydrodynamic and mooring forces, no matter the vessel type or configuration, the potential for the undesirable motions to occur exists. With the increased desire for larger interior volumes on vessels, hull and superstructure windages are trending larger and the aerodynamic forces acting on the vessels are becoming more significant, making the phenomenon a more common occurrence.

This paper provides an introductory overview to the phenomenon of yaw instability of a vessel on a single point mooring, and documents a technical investigation into the phenomenon. The research program conducted consists of full-scale sea trials, aerodynamic analysis through computational fluid dynamics, numerical simulations, and physical scale model testing. Results of the research program are presented which demonstrate successful replication and mitigation of the motions.
Motion Control for Small Fast Boats in Following Seas
Authors: Keuning J. A. (Lex)
Published: January 2024

The behavior of fast and relatively small ships in large following seas has been a serious concern for the operators for a long time now due to the possible occurrence of “broaching”. Due to the relatively low encounter frequency of these fast boats with respect to the large and high following and stern quartering seas an intensive coupling between surge, roll and yaw may occur which may finally lead to a capsize of the boat. The applied (and necessary) rudder control using the conventional rudder layout to prevent the excessive yaw motion may even further aggravate the situation.

In an extensive research project the Delft Ship hydromechanics Laboratory of the Delft University of Technology has constipated, developed, tested and evaluated the application of a “bow rudder” to control this situation much better. In conjunction with the conventional rudders (or waterjets) at the stern the application of such a bow rudder yielded a significant (up to 50%) reduction of the both the yaw and the roll motion in these conditions. Comparative studies of models with and without such a “bow rudder” in the towing tank showed no tendency to broaching of the boat with bow rudder at all any more. In a later design evolution this bow rudder has evolved into the development of a “retractable bow rotor”, using the well-known Magnus effect as the lift (steering) force generator. This made it possible to retract the rotor when it’s application was not asked for and thereby eliminating any possible negative effect on the resistance of the boat.

The results of earlier studies will be shown in this publication together with the obtained results of various towing tank test campaigns carried out to develop the rotor and also some different design concepts. Based on these tests an actual rotor has been build and placed on board a real ship, a DAMEN Stan Pilot 2205, a pilot boat of circa 22 meters long and capable of attaining a maximum speed of 25 knots. Herewith full scale measurement have been carried out at the North Sea and these results will also be presented here. In addition the results of tests specially of interest for a typical Pilot Boat operation will be shown.
El cargado de yemas como alternativa para inducir el brote de manzanos bajo condiciones extremas de deficiencia de frío
Authors: Paz González Emilio R. , Reyes López Alfonso , Benavides Mendoza Adalberto
Published: January 2024

Debido a la problemática que presentan los frutales de clima templado -caso particular la manzana- bajo la presencia de inviernos benignos se hace necesaria la utilización de técnicas de producción forzada, que minimicen los efectos causados por la falta de frío. En este trabajo se evaluó una nueva metodología de producción denominada cargado de yemas. Se aplicaron 2 productos estimulantes de la brotación, conocidos comercialmente como Revent (Thidiazuron) y Dormex (Cianamida Hidrogenada), además de un defoliante experimental de la empresa GBM (Fulvato de Cobre); utilizando diferentes dosis, así como 2 fechas de aplicación de los productos individuales y combinados. Las variables estudiadas fueron: el porcentaje de brotación y el rendimiento, encontrando diferencias altamente significativas entre tratamientos. Basándose en los resultados, las mejores aplicaciones obtuvieron incrementos en la brotación de entre el 183 % y el 245 %. Para el rendimiento, los incrementos variaron de entre el 517 % y el 884 %, al ser comparados con el testigo comercial, utilizado tradicionalmente en la región de Arteaga, Coahuila.

Pertumbuhan Lembaga PAUD di Indonesia saat ini sedang berada pada posisi yang sangat tinggi. Secara umum PAUD dimaksudkan untuk menanamkan nilai-nilai budaya nasional dan agamis agar anak memiliki jati diri, akhlak, kepribadian dan karakter di masa depannya. Mendongeng sebelum tidur sangatlah bermanfaat, sebelum tidur otak anak dalam keadaan setengah sadar. Pada kondisi ini otak anak akan bekerja lebih dominan, infomasi yang mereka terima akan mudah terserap dan diingat oleh anak, karena otak bawah sadar mempunyai kemampuan lebih besar dibandingkan otak sadar. Dongeng sendiri memiliki banyak manfaat bagi anak yaitu dapat membangun jalinan komunikasi yang erat antara pendongeng dan anak, sehingga lebih dekat. Untuk itu diharapkan orangtua dapat meluangkan waktunya untuk membacakan dongeng bagi anak sebagai pengantar tidur dan membangun kedekatan emosional yang baik. Orangtua yang membacakan dongeng kepada anaknya dapat memberikan pemahaman dan penanaman nilai-nilai budi pekerti yang terkandung dalam dongeng tersebut, sehingga secara tidak langsung orangtua itu menanamkan nilai-nilai moral pada anak sejak usia dini

The study was divided into 2 phases. During 1st phase, 20 pre-partum buffaloes were divided into two groups, given -100 (high negative; HN) and -50 (low negative; LN) mEq/kg of dry matter (DM) diets. In the second phase, +200 (low positive; LP) and +400 (high positive; HP) mEq/kg of DM diets were formulated for postpartum buffaloes. Buffaloes that received LN DCAD were divided into 2 groups (LN-LP and LN-HP), and those that received HN DCAD were also divided into 2 groups (HN-LP and HN-HP). In the first phase, the group fed the HN DCAD diet had significantly lesser DM, nutrient intake, and urine pH (p<0.05) but higher ME intake and ADF digestibility. Also, higher serum phosphorus levels (p<0.05), fewer cases of hypocalcemia and ketosis, and a relatively smaller decrease in body weight were reported with the HN group. In the second phase, DM, organic matter, and NDF intakes were higher (p<0.05) in HN-HP and LN-LP groups, whereas ME intake and nutrient digestibility were higher in HN-LP and LN-HP (p<0.05). Daily milk, solid not fat (SNF), fat, protein, lactose yields, and plasma total protein, urea, and cholesterol concentrations were the highest in the HN-HP group (p<0.05), but the highest fat content and fat yield were recorded in the HN-LP group (p<0.05). Better efficiency of milk production and the lowest cases of hypocalcemia and ketosis were observed for both groups. In conclusion, for transition buffaloes, the HN and LN DCAD (-100 and +200 mEq/kg of DM, respectively) diets showed a beneficial impact.

Hermeneutics of Heraclitus
Authors: Bickerstaff Gabriel
Published: January 2024

The article considers the philosophical potential of Heraclitean ambiguity and implications for how one might engage philosophically with Heraclitus. While works on Heraclitus most commonly offer new interpretations or dispute or add nuance to established interpretations, this work somewhat sidesteps interpretive disputes to consider the philosophical value and relevance of Heraclitus’s fragments themselves. Specifically, a hermeneutical tool proposed by William Desmond called a “companioning approach,” is supported. Desmond’s companioning approach is considered in the context of Pierre Hadot’s account of the history of hermeneutical practices to show that it merely defines and legitimizes a longstanding hermeneutical activity. Further, a recent work by A. V. Halapsis shows that Heraclitus’s ambiguity may have been a consequence of his anthropological commitments and that he may have intended to allow for something like a companioning engagement.
