The Value of Clean Water: Evidence from an Environmental Disaster
Authors: Gonzalez Rodrigo Barbone , Haas Ornelas José Renato , Silva Thiago Christiano
Published: December 2023

Clean water has a largely unknown economic value, particularly to small communities whose agricultural activities take place on river shores. In November 2015, the rupture of a mining tailings dam in the municipality of Mariana led to a record disposal of toxic residuals in southeast Brazil. A mud avalanche ran out for 600 km (373 miles) until it reached the Atlantic Ocean, leaving behind extreme ecological and economic damage in the Doce River basin. This is the largest environmental disaster in Brazil to date. We quantify the negative externalities using rich, identified, and comprehensive data from firm-to-firm electronic payments and individual-level consumer credit usage. We find that agricultural producers in affected municipalities received cumulatively 41% to 60% fewer inflows (income) from customer firms outside the affected zone three years after the disaster. Effects are driven by municipalities where the river shore is larger relative to the farming area. In these municipalities, individuals also faced an 8% fall in their credit card and consumer finance expenditures. This result is stronger for non-formal and high-risk workers. Thus, water contamination led to (first) production and (later) consumption decline with real effects on municipality-level agriculture and services output, causing a 7% decline in local GDP.

ADUBAÇÃO FOSFATADA ASSOCIADA AO USO DE MICRORGANISMOS SOLUBILIZADORES DE FOSFATOS NA CULTURA DA ALFACE
Authors: Bicudo Breno Scalon , Tischmann Gabriel Apoitia , Jardini Debora Curado
Published: December 2023

A alface (Lactuca sativa) é a hortaliça folhosa mais consumida no Brasil. Normalmente, solos arenosos e com baixa disponibilidade de fósforo, somam alguns dos mais importantes fatores que limitam a produção da cultura no Brasil. Diante disso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a eficiência do uso de microrganismos solubilizadores de fosfatos em associação a adubação fosfatada na cultura da alface. O experimento foi realizado no campo experimental do UNIVAG – Centro Universitário de Várzea Grande, no período de março a junho de 2023. Foi utilizado o delineamento experimental em blocos ao acaso, com quatro tratamentos (sem adubação fosfatada e sem inoculação; somente adubação fosfatada; 50% da adubação fosfatada e com inoculação; somente inoculação) e seis repetições, totalizando 24 parcelas. O inoculante utilizado foi o Biomaphos, aplicado no sulco de semeadura na dose de 0,5 ml por planta. Foram avaliados a massa verde total e comercial da parte aérea (g/planta), número de folhas e o teor foliar de fósforo (g/kg MS). O tratamento onde utilizou-se somente a inoculação com o Biomaphos proporcionou menor massa verde total da parte aérea. Em contrapartida, a massa verde comercial foi superior no tratamento onde utilizou-se somente a adubação fosfatada. Para a variável número de folhas, não houve efeito significativo dos tratamentos. O teor foliar de fósforo foi superior no tratamento onde utilizou-se somente a adubação fosfatada, os demais tratamentos não diferiram entre si. A inoculação de bactérias solubilizadoras de fosfatos não contribuiu para aumentar a disponibilidade de P para a cultura da alface.

Published: December 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Capital Adequacy Ratio, Financing To Deposit Ratio, Operating Costs, Operating Income and Inflation on Non-Performing Financing. This type of research uses quantitative methods with secondary data whose data collection is through the website of each BUS registered with the OJK during the research period. The analytical method used is Moderated Regression Analysis which is calculated by Eviews 9. The results of this study indicate that partially the CAR, FDR, BOPO and Inflation variables have a significant positive effect on NPF. Meanwhile, simultaneously CAR and BOPO have no effect on NPF, while FDR and Inflation have a significant positive effect on NPF. Inflation as a moderating variable is able to strengthen the effect of CAR on NPF, but is also able to weaken the relationship between FDR and inflation, but inflation also cannot moderate the effect of BOPO on NPF.Keywords: CAR, FDR, BOPO, Inflation and NPF

Authors: Ramachandaran Sharmila Devi A/P , Vasudevan Asokan , Ling Wang Pei , Xin Wang Yng
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the study is to investigate the key determinants that influence talent retention within Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) operating in a highly competitive world. The study used a quantitative methodology that focuses on gathering numerical data that can be evaluated using an approach called Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). To facilitate data collection, online surveys were made available to respondents in convenient ways to give their opinion at any time and from any location. PLS-SEM was used to examine a set of hypotheses resulting from a theoretical model of turnover intention. According to empirical findings, there was just one factor—work-life balance—that had a substantial impact on employee retention. Two independent variables, self-efficacy and training and development, verified that they do not support the hypothesis and have no significant relationship. Understanding these driving forces holds paramount importance for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) as they endeavor to attract and retain top-tier talent. By adjusting and fine-tuning their policies and operational procedures, SMEs can cultivate an environment conducive not only to the preservation of proficient personnel but also to their growth. Consequently, this study emphasizes the critical importance of customized methodology and the demand for personalized strategies that take into consideration and address the needs of SMEs.

Removal of Methyl Orange from Aqueous Solution Using Orange Peel as a Low Cost Adsorbent
Authors: LAWAL Ahmed , ABDULSALAM Abdulhafeez
Published: December 2023

The objective of this research was to evaluate the feasibility of using orange peels as a low-cost adsorbent to remove methyl orange (MO) from water solutions. The orange peel adsorbent underwent characterization through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy to determine its properties before and after adsorption. A series of batch adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of various parameters such as contact time, adsorbent dosage, particle size, and initial dye concentration on the adsorption process. In each case, varying the value of the parameter of interest while keeping all other parameters constant. Results revealed that the highest removal of the dye from the adsorbent was achieved at a contact time of 90 min, the adsorbent dosage of 0.5 g, a particle size of less than 63 µm, and an initial concentration of 300 mg/L. Furthermore, the adsorption rate increased with increasing contact time, adsorbent dosage, and initial concentration, while it decreased with increasing particle size of the adsorbent. Concentrations of methyl orange were analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The experimental equilibrium data was analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The Langmuir isotherm provided the best fit for the experimental data with a correlation coefficient value of 0.9964 and a maximum adsorption capacity of 17.69 mg/g.
Anomia y extinción de dominio: una mirada fundamentadora a la figura constitucional
Authors: Vargas Tamayo Camilo Alfonso
Published: December 2023

A diferencia del derecho penal, la extinción de dominio tiene un desarrollo dogmático escaso. La mayoría de los planteamientos que se han hecho en la materia fundamentan al instituto desde dentro del sistema comoquiera que lo ubican como una figura constitucional, penal o simplemente como un instrumento del derecho penal del enemigo.

En este escrito se pretende, en cambio, darle una fundamentación exógena anclada a la teoría de la anomia de Merton, dado que se encuentra como el instituto bajo estudio es un corrector de anomia pues pretende hacer hincapié en los medios lícitos permitidos por la sociedad y no tanto en los fines.

Hormon reseptörü pozitif meme kanseri tanılı hastalarda tamoksifen sitrat kullanımının ortalama trombosit hacmi üzerine etkisi
Authors: SAYIN Meral
Published: December 2023

Amaç: Meme kanseri tedavisinde kullanılan tamoksifen sitratın sık görülen yan etkilerinden biri derin ven trombozudur. Daha önce literatürde bildirildiği şekilde, tamoksifen kullanımına bağlı olarak ortalama trombosit hacmi artıyor ve derin ven trombozuna neden oluyor. Bu yan etkinin ortalama trombosit hacmi (MPV) ile ilişkisini araştırdık.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma Ankara Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde, Ocak 2015- Aralık 2016 yılları arasında tedavisinde, tamoksifen sitrat kullanılan 210 meme kanseri tanılı hastanın dosyaları retrospektif olarak tarandı. Tamoksifen sitrat tedavisinin 60. ayını doldurmuş hastaların hepsi çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların çalışma boyunca takip süreleri 6 yıldır. Hastalarda tedaviden önce (bazal seviye), 3. ayda,12. ayda ve 60. ayda bakılan kontrol hemogramlarda MPV seviyeleri tarandı. Retrospektif gözlemsel tarama sonuçları için SPSS 25 ile Microsoft Excel 2007 programı kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Toplam 210 hasta dosyası incelendi. Hastaların yaşları ile zamansal MPV değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki yoktur. (p>0,05). Hastaların menopoz durumları ile zamansal MPV değerleri bakımından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark yoktur. (p>0,05). Hastaların bazal, 3, 12. ve 60. ay (zamansal olarak) MPV değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark vardır. (p=0,0001). Evre I-II-III ile evre IV arasında bazal MPV değerleri açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark yoktur. (p>0,05). Evre I-II-III ile evre IV arasında 3.ay 12.ay ve 60.ay MPV değerleri açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark vardır (sırasıyla p=0,005, p=0,002, p=0,002). Evre IV te ölçülen tüm zamanlardaki MPV değerleri Evre I-II-III te ölçülen MPV değerlerinden anlamlı olarak daha düşüktür.

Sonuç: Tamoksifen sitrat meme kanseri tedavisinde kullanılan çok değerli bir ilaç. Tamosifen bazal seviyede ölçülen ve dağılımları normal olan tüm MPV değerlerini zamanla arttırdı. Tamoksifenin menapoz durumuna göre, MPV değerleri üzerine etkisinin değişmediği görüldü. Tamoksifenin evre I,II,III grubundaki MPV değerlerini arttırdığı ancak metastatik evrede MPV üzerine etkisinin olmadığı görüldü.

The role of the Polish Army in the military settlement action in the years 1945–1948
Authors: Jarno Witold
Published: December 2023

The article discusses the issue of military settlement on the so-called Recovered Territories in the years 1945–1948. The text examines the role of the army and military institutions in this process, the status of military settlers and the system of mutual links between military and civilian institutions dealing with military settlement. The article presents the overall organizational effort related to military settlement, difficulties accompanying settlers, problems of cooperation between military institutions and civil administration and the scale of military settlement against the background of the nationwide settlement action. The action of military settlement took place in extremely difficult conditions (e.g. migration and resettlement of the Polish and German population, or war damage). Despite this, between 1945 and 1948, about 534,000 people with the status of military settlers (including demobilized soldiers, as well as members of their families and families of fallen soldiers) settled in the so-called Recovered Territories. Of these, fewer than 180,000 people settled in the districts designated in June 1945 only for military settlements, while the vast majority (354,000) lived outside these districts. Nevertheless, the settlement of 180,000 people in border powiats can be considered a great success in the process of their development, conducive to better protection of the new Polish-German border. Military settlers played an important role in the process of settling the so-called Recovered Territories, because they constituted almost 12% of all settlers. Due to the extensiveness of the issue concerning the broadly understood Polish settlement in these lands in the first post-war years, the subject matter discussed in the article was limited to selected issues of military settlement, which were discussed on the basis of archival materials and Polish historiography related to the topic of this type of settlement.

Studies investigating the relationship between balance ability and body size, build and proportions tend to concentrate on body mass and height rather than breadth parameters or size of individual body segments. The purpose of this study was to determine a relationship between the ability to keep balance and the size, build and proportions, based on breadth and length dimensions of the body in healthy adult men and women during a position of free standing. This study also aimed to investigate how the lack of visual control affects the analyzed relationship. The study group consisted of 102 adults of both sexes. The investigations encompassed anthropometric measurements of the body and the ability to keep balance. The analysis covered a of series anthropometric parameters, 9 indices of body proportions, mean velocity of the COP movement (MV) and ellipse area (EA). A statistical analysis of the results was carried out taking into consideration the division into groups due to sexes. The results of the Pearson correlation have revealed that there is a statistically significant correlation (weak or moderate degree) between anthropometric parameters of the body and stabilographic values. Results differ between sexes and depend on whether Romberg’s test was performed with open or closed eyes. The obtained results showed that the surface area of ellipse significantly depends on the dimensions of these body elements which relate to the position of the centre of mass. The obtained results, which differ depending on sex, show that the values of the body sways in a position of free standing depend on breadth and length dimensions of the body, visual control and the analyzed parameter of balance.

Published: December 2023

This paper focuses on the experiences of Indigenous learners at Athabasca University. Having access to online education provided a sense of normalcy for students during the global pandemic while many post-secondary institutions and Indigenous communities were closed. The purpose of the research was two-fold: a) to determine the dynamics of reaching Indigenous learners and measuring their adaptability in learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, and b) to understand the effects of the pandemic on the mind, body, spirit, and social environment of Indigenous distance education learners and their families. This research included qualitative and quantitative methods, specifically, a survey, focus group, and individual interviews. We share the results of online research involving Indigenous students during the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. We concluded that listening to Indigenous students supported their online education while giving them an outlet to express their experiences. This research identified Indigenous student adaptations towards their spirituality in specific ways inherent to their culture given the reactions to COVID-19, their responses, and reflections.
Student Support in Online Learning—We Need to Talk About Money
Authors: Simpson Ormond
Published: December 2023

Online higher education has been a success in part because it is less costly to students and governments than conventional education, so both students and governments receive higher returns on their investment than in conventional higher education. However, many online institutions appear to have considerably lower graduation rates than conventional education—the so-called online education deficit that reduces its advantage. This deficit can be reduced through online education institutions investing money in both their course design strategies and their student support, including teaching. This article focuses on student support and suggests that if support increases student retention, institutions will receive a financial return through increased income. It argues: if that increase in income can then be managed to be greater than the original investment, institutions will make a positive return on the investment—that is, a surplus. That surplus can then be reinvested in further student support and potentially increase student success still further. The article then determines what those returns on investment might be in various scenarios depending on institutional funding arrangements. These determinations produce a series of formulae in which actual financial figures can be substituted to calculate those returns.
Measuring the Impact of an Open Educational Resource and Library e-Resource Adoption Program Using the COUP Framework
Authors: Davidson Squibb Sara , Salmon Elizabeth , Yan Yueqi
Published: December 2023

Grant programs that foster the use of open educational resources (OER) significantly reduce undergraduate student spending on textbooks per semester. The Zero-Cost Course Materials (ZCCM) grant program at the University of California, Merced (UC Merced), eliminated text costs and ensured access to course materials by replacing required commercial materials with OER and library licensed e-resources. The present study applies the COUP framework (cost, outcomes, usage, and perceptions) to evaluate the ZCCM program. The ZCCM program resulted in student cost savings and did not negatively impact student outcomes. Students in ZCCM courses demonstrated higher rates of course completion than students enrolled in previous sections. For the outcomes of final course grade, passing with a C− or better, and number of credit hours enrolled in, findings were comparable between the cohorts. Student usage and perception of course materials were gathered using a survey. Though students reported favorable views of zero-cost materials, they reported using them less frequently than commercial texts. This research contributes to a growing body of literature that confirms beneficial cost savings for students using zero-cost materials without jeopardizing students’ success.

Abstract

Election criminal law is built and enforced as a legal instrument for eradicating election criminal acts. In fact there is a demand to reform the legal politics of election crime enforcement from the perspective of dignified justice to create honest, fair and dignified elections. The problem studied is how the current law enforcement of election crimes is political and why it is important to reform the law enforcement politics of election crimes based on dignified justice. The research was conducted using a juridical-normative method with statutory and doctrinal approaches. The results of the study show that the regulation of election crimes is contained in a book of election law laws (UU No.7 of 2017 last amended by Law No.7 of 2023) there are as many as 67 articles consisting of offenses and crimes. Many criminal provisions are irrelevant, the enforcement of election criminal law is still far from what was expected, so it is necessary to reform law enforcement in a structured and systematic manner both from the aspect of substance, structure and legal culture. The politics of election criminal law currently places punishment as the foremost legal means, while the demands for the development of law enforcement for election criminal acts that are expected are punishment as a last resort and reform of law enforcement for election criminal acts based on dignified justice (justice that humanizes humans) a necessity in the context of guaranteeing legal objectives (fairness, benefit and certainty) and the objectives of holding elections that are fair and with integrity, legal certainty, effectiveness based on values, principles, norms and rules rooted in the spirit of the nation (volksgeid), namely Pancasila.Keywords: Legal Politics, Crime, Dignified Elections.
The Legal Consequences of Heirs Not Submitting the Notary Protocol To The Regional Supervisory Board
Authors: Febyanti Dinda Suryo , Tanuwijaya Fanny , Iriyanto Echwan
Published: December 2023

The legal issue faced by heirs who do not submit a notary's protocol when a notary passes away. Although Indonesian law does not explicitly outline the responsibilities of heirs in this regard, based on this, the research subject to be examined is the legal consequences for heirs who do not submit a notary's protocol and the authority of the Regional Supervisory Board (MPD) in resolving notary protocols. The research method used in this study is a notarial juridical approach, using a legislative approach and a conceptual approach to analyze the legal issues. The research findings indicate that the failure to submit a notary's protocol can have negative legal consequences. Notary protocols, considered as state archives, must be preserved and maintained by notaries, and heirs do not have legal rights to them. The duty to submit notary protocols lies with the Regional Supervisory Board (MPD) for documentation processes. These protocols include agreements, deeds, acknowledgments, and legal acts performed before a notary and are not part of the notary's personal estate but belong to the state. The authority of the Regional Supervisory Board (MPD) in handling the handover of notary protocols. The MPD plays a vital role in receiving reports of notary deaths, facilitating the handover process, and ensuring the preservation of protocols. However, there are no specific sanctions that the MPD can impose on heirs who fail to fulfill their obligations. This legal gap may result in violations by heirs who do not report the notary's death or fail to submit the notary protocol. Therefore, this research emphasizes the importance of establishing clear and comprehensive regulations regarding the responsibilities of heirs regarding notary protocols to ensure legal certainty and clarity for all parties involved.
Populizm penalny a zmniejszenie represyjności prawa karnego – uwagi na tle art. 25 § 2a i 3 k.k.
Authors: Fic Rafał
Published: December 2023

Przedmiotem niniejszej publikacji jest próba ustalenia relacji, która zachodzi między populizmem penalnym a instrumentami prawnokarnymi prowadzącymi do dekryminalizacji lub wyłączenia karalności zachowań dotychczas podlegających ukaraniu. Zjawisko populizmu penalnego jest bowiem tradycyjnie łączone ze zwiększeniem represyjności prawa karnego. W konsekwencji rozwiązania ustawowe uchylające karalność określonych czynów zabronionych powinny być traktowane jako przeciwne populizmowi penalnemu. Analizę przeprowadzono na przykładzie regulacji Kodeksu karnego zapewniających niepodleganie karze w niektórych wypadkach przekroczenia granic obrony koniecznej. Prowadzi to do przekonania, że także zabieg polegający na depenalizacji może odpowiadać cechom przypisywanym populizmowi penalnemu. W konsekwencji niezasadne wydaje się ograniczanie tego pojęcia tylko do zabiegów prowadzących do zwiększenia represyjności prawa karnego.

Em junho de 2023, completaram-se dez anos das denominadas “jornadas de junho de 2013”. O estranhamento, por meio de escuta analítica, da repetição do enunciado “dez anos”, tal como veiculado em manchetes jornalísticas, permitiu percorrer alguns sentidos em disputa em um corpus formado por onze sequências discursivas (nível da formulação). Estas últimas indicam modos da mídia recordar estas manifestações de rua, ocorridas em diversas cidades brasileiras. A análise do corpus indica duas zonas de sentido dominantes, a saber: a legitimação do fato histórico pela cronologia da imprensa e sentidos sobre causa e consequência das jornadas de junho de 2013.
A COVID-19 como acontecimento discursivo
Authors: Oliveira Lucinéia , Cortes Gerenice
Published: December 2023

A Covid-19 gerou produção e circulação de muitas notícias nas mídias, fato que também instaurou, segundo a OMS, a infordemia. Inquietações sobre esses discursos motivaram esta pesquisa, que objetiva analisar a Covid-19 como acontecimento discursivo, considerando os confrontos de sentidos e de sujeitos nas mídias digitais. O corpus foi constituído a partir de recortes de publicações do primeiro caso confirmado no Brasil, do Ministério da Saúde, Uol e G1. O estudo respalda-se teoricamente na Análise de Discurso pecheuxtiana, em cotejo com estudos do discurso digital. Resultados apontam que a Covid-19 se constitui um acontecimento discursivo, pois atualiza a memória de outras pandemias e instaura um jogo metafórico de circulações-confronto nas mídias, com efeitos parafrásticos e polissêmicos.

Buscou-se detectar mudanças na importância dada aos temas de Paleontologia e Geologia no ensino de Ciências Naturais e Biologia nos últimos doze anos. Foram analisados os conteúdos sugeridos pelos PCNs, OCEM e BNCC e avaliada quantitativa e qualitativamente a sua abordagem em livros didáticos de Ciências Naturais e Biologia adotados em colégios de Salvador (Bahia) em 2006 e 2017/2018.Atualmente, os assuntos paleontológicos tem maior ocorrência nos livros didáticos do que há doze anos, mas estão quase restritos ao 7º ano, o que contraria as orientações dos PCNs e da BNCC do EFII. Apesar disto, houve aumento considerável na inclusão destes no EM, podendo haver retrocesso com as novas recomendações da BNCC. Apesar de adequadamente apresentados, os conteúdos geológicos foram registrados quase que exclusivamente nos livros do 6º ano. É muito preocupante a supressão de assuntos geológicos na BNCC, principalmente para o Ensino Médio.

Rainfall-induced variations in pore water pressures are the most common sources of significant disasters like landslides, dams’ failure, and other structural collapses. This study aimed at communicating preliminary results of seasonal monitoring of the Sobradinho landslide, Brasilia, Brazil, using ambient seismic noise. The noise was recorded before, during and after the rainy season with three L4-3A seismometers (2Hz) installed in a triangular array at the landslide mass. These records were processed using horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) technique. As it resulted from the performed analyses, two frequency (ubiquitous (2Hz) and iniquitous (>2Hz)) peaks were observed over HVSR curves. The fluctuations in the secondary peak of HVSR curves are possibly related to the saturated soil properties of landslide mass in response to seasonal meteorological conditions. Experiments with a denser observation system are required to validate such a further behavior. The proposed method can be used for the monitoring of landslides as well as civil engineering structures like dams, bridges,and building.
Does financial sector development have a sustainable level of effects on inclusive growth in Sub-Saharan African countries? Evidence from dynamic panel threshold analysis
Authors: Olayiwola Abiodun Sunday
Published: December 2023

This study examines the threshold level of financial sector development on inclusive growth in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) between 2000 and 2020 with the view to ascertain the level of sustainability in the relationship between financial sector development and inclusive growth in SSA countries. Data extracted from the World Development Indicator (WDI) and International Financial Statistics (IFS) were analysed using dynamic panel threshold (DPT) techniques. Findings revealed that there exists a positive and significant sustainable level of financial sector development of 0.098 (out of a scale of 0-1.0) that can stimulate inclusive growth in SSA. Likewise, findings at the sub-regional level showed that three out of four (Western, Eastern, and Central African sub-region) except the Southern African region, indicated the existence of a threshold level of financial sector development that can effectively impact inclusive growth. Therefore, this study concludes that the relationship between inclusive growth and financial sector development in most SSA countries is nonlinear and conditional on certain macroeconomic policies. It is recommended that policymakers in respective SSA sub-regions and countries implement policies that will promote relevant financial innovations, reforms, and efficiency in financial inclusion in other to promote financial development above the minimum threshold level in SSA countries.

Computational thinking (CT) skills are essential with the rapid advancement of technology. Developing CT attitudes in students is also required for improving CT skills.   On the other hand, science process skills are also emphasized in high school physics classes. This study aims to design and implement collaborative modeling-based learning for high school physics classes that stimulates computational thinking (CT) and science process skills. The learning activities use a collaborative approach and adapt the modeling process that scientists usually use. A pilot study in a high school physics course was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of collaborative modeling-based learning. The research instruments used in this study include a test for assessing theoretical understanding, an observational rubric for assessing science process skills and a self-report checklist to assess CT dispositions. A pre-and post-test design is employed in the pilot study. Eighty-nine students participated in this study. Students who participated in collaborative modeling-based learning gained a theoretical understanding. Moreover, they have excellent science process skills. According to the self-report checklist, students also demonstrated positive CT attitudes and indicated that they planned to apply CT aspects to their learning.   It indicates that the modeling process has engaged students to think computationally and develop their process skills.
Impact of teachers’ self-efficacy on their work engagement: A case of Vietnam
Authors: Tran Van Dat
Published: December 2023

Recent research across various educational settings has consistently highlighted the statistically positive effects of teachers' efficacy on their level of work engagement. However, an in-depth analysis of the literature reveals an important gap in this study in relation to Vietnamese education. Hence, the present study aims to establish a relationship by investigating the relationship between teachers' efficacy and their work engagement within the framework of the Vietnamese educational system. The study used both the Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) to gather quantitative data from 354 high school teachers across 6 different high schools. The findings revealed a positive relationship between teachers' efficacy and their work engagement through a combination of factorial analysis and path analysis. These findings are significant because they highlight the value of incorporating self-efficacy concepts into training programs and creating encouraging environments to increase teachers' levels of engagement with their jobs. It is essential to prioritize the use of random sampling techniques in future research initiatives in order to generate a sample that is more extensive and applicable to a broader range of situations. Future researchers may explore incorporating qualitative research methodologies to better understand the impact of teacher efficacy by capturing the unique narratives and perspectives of teachers. This approach would provide a complete understanding of the dynamic relationship between teacher efficacy and work engagement.
Datação por luminescência opticamente estimulada: aplicabilidade em fácies rudáceas de leques aluviais do Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Minas Gerais

Published: December 2023

Este artigo apresenta dados da luminescência opticamente estimulada de sedimentos rudáceos de leques aluviais da região do Quadrilátero Ferrífero. Tais dados foram obtidos através de 12 datações cujas amostras foram coletadas com um amostrador e alavanca específicos e eficientes para inserção e retirada dos tubos do pacote sedimentar. O objetivo desse trabalho é discutir as características da luminescência do quartzo presente em depósitos de leques aluviais e verificar se o método é eficiente em sedimentos de granulometria caracterizada por grânulos, seixos, calhaus e matacões. No que se refere a taxa de dose anual, o percentual de água foi definido levando-se em conta o histórico de cada amostra. Após estimativa da radiação cósmica, os valores obtidos entre 0,2328 e 0,2509 mGy/ano foram insignificantes com relação as concentrações de 232Th, 238U e 40K. Em todo ciclo de medição, para normalizar os sinais de LOE, foi administrada dose teste de 31,8 Gy na amostra do leque do Complexo Bonfim Meridional, 1,78 Gy na da fácies Gmm do leque 1 do Complexo Bonfim Setentrional e 2,67 Gy nas demais amostras. A eficácia da dose teste foi comprovada durante os testes de reciclagem, sempre entre 0,9 e 1,10, e de recuperação, inferiores a 5%, indicando completo fotoesvaziamento e ausência de transferência térmica significativa. Os valores da dispersão, entre 0 e 16%, e a ausência de bimodalidade nos gráficos de densidade indicam que os grãos estiveram expostos à luz solar por pelo menos 16 horas antes do soterramento, acarretando no seu fotoesvaziamento completo. Este estudo demonstra que depósitos rudáceos podem ser datados por LOE com eficiência.
Technology for the production of sickles and knives of the Petrovka Culture of the Southern Trans-Urals (by the results of metallographic analysis)
Authors: Degtyareva A.D.
Published: December 2023

The data of the metallographic study of sickles and knives (37 pcs) of the Petrovka Culture from the Southern Trans-Urals and the Middle Tobol River basin of the 19th–18th centuries BC are reported. The implements originate from settlements (Ustye 1, Kulevchi 3, Starokumlyak, Kamyshnoe 2, Ubagan 2, Nizhneingaly 3) and burial complexes (Ozernoe 1, Krivoye Ozero, Verkhnyaya Alabuga). The reconstruction of the manufacturing technology of the Petrovka Culture tools from the Southern Trans-Urals was carried out by both taking into account the results of the surface visual inspection, as well as by the data of the microstructural study of the metal. The metallographic analysis was conducted at the Tyumen Scientific Center of the Siberian Branch of the RAS (microscope Axio Observer D1m from Zeiss; microhardness tester PMT-3M from LOMO). A certain correla-tion was revealed between the functional purpose of the product, type of the raw material, and the tool manufacturing flowchart. The sickles and knives with handles are produced primarily from pure copper (including oxidised) both in the process of casting in mould with subsequent finishing, as well as in the result of the forming forging. The tools obtained in the casting process often had casting defects, accompanied by the phenomenon of shrinking warpage of the metal. The finishing of the copper tools was taking place in most cases either in the regime of incomplete hot forging at 300–500 C, or hot forging at 600–800 C and at near-melting temperatures of 900–1000 C. Most of the sickles in the forging process were purposefully hardened by forging on the cold metal. Unlike the sickles and knives with handles, shank knives are made mainly of low-alloyed tin bronze. Apparently, this category of tools was given a special ritual significance, especially considering the fact that about a third of the tools came from burial complexes with a specific selection of the related implements. The use of tin bronze in the production of knives sig-nificantly contributed to the fabrication of high-quality castings with the smooth surface without metal warping defects. The fini-shing of the knives after casting was carried out with heating up to 600–800 C or 900–1000 C (44 % of the tools) or in the regime of incomplete hot forging (25 %). The forging on the cold metal with annealing was rarely used. Thus, at the basis of the choice of the technological traditions of the metal production lies the availability of a certain raw material base, the type of the metal obtained from this ore, as well as the inheritance of the technologies from the preceding cultural communities. Technological inno-vations in the processing of non-ferrous metal, associated with the supply of Sn-bronzes in the form of ingots or finished products from Central Kazakhstan to the Southern Trans-Urals, led to the significant increase in the quality of the produce.
