Освіта має найдавнішу історію серед всіх складових науки, на протязі всієї історії людства серед всіх верст населення освіта мала особливий статус і до неї був особливий підхід. Якщо еволюцію освіти поділити умовно на 7 етапів розтягнуті на 6 тисяч років, то останні 3 охоплюватимуть трохи більше 100 років, відтак можна зробити висновок, що еволюція освіти значно прискорилася. Значною мірою це пов’язано зі стрімким розвитком науки та технологій, але якщо висока динаміка в науки це більше позитивний процесс, то висока динаміка у освіти це нестабільність і невпевненість, тобто криза. Для освіти зараз багато викликів. Серед них глобальні виклики – такі, як зміна світового порядку, і такі, які не змінилися на протязі історії людства – соціальна нерівність і доступність. Деякі виклики пов’язані з передовим технологіями, а саме з високою динамікою їх розвитку – технології, що запозичуються до освітнього процесу морально застарівають з тею ж швидкістю, що й самі технології, тобто занадто швидко. За деякими тенденціями можна лише спостерігати, а деякі вже бажано використовувати. Одну з таких проблем, на стику інформаційних технологій та освіти і розглядає дана робота. Метою роботи є привернути увагу до можливостей розповсюджених технологій, які можна і потрібно залучати вже сьогодні. Галузь інформаційних технологій з надзвичайно високою динамікою генерує нові технологічні підходи, тому шукати рішень для проблем галузі освіти у новітніх технологіях логічно і актуально. Висновки. Деякі проблеми сучасної освіти можна вирішити використанням розповсюджених технологій, і вартує додати до їх використання більше зусиль.

Published: December 2023

Poultry production plays a vital role in the socioeconomic development of Kano Metropolis, Nigeria, providing employment opportunities, enhancing household income, and ensuring food security. Despite the significant contributions of the poultry industry, women's participation in this sector remains constrained by various socioeconomic factors. This study aims to investigate the socio-economic status of gender participation in poultry production in Kano Metropolis, Nigeria. The study employs a quantitative data collection technique. A structured questionnaire was administered to 257 randomly selected poultry producers, including both men and women, to gather quantitative data on their socioeconomic characteristics, production activities, scale size, types of poultry reared, production system, and constraints faced. The study findings revealed only few (30%) of the poultry producers are females.  Males (48.0%) and (32.4%) of female poultry producers are married. Also, (30.7%) of males and (13.2%) of female poultry producers had tertiary education. In addition, most of the males (47.5%) and females (57.4%) are within age range of 31-40 years; similarly male (36.9%) and (23.5%) of female poultry producers mainly engaged in trading as their main occupation. However, male (35.2%) and female (35.2%) poultry producers had flock size of 50-500 birds. Moreover, only few males (42.5%) and females (44.1%) poultry producers have contact with veterinary extension agents. Regarding poultry management activities participation, female producers were found to participate mostly in Feeding (43.6%), Sanitation (41.6%), Medication (29.4%) and Water Management (27.9%). On other hand their male counterpart mostly participated in house construction (39.1%), Medication (40.8%) Sanitation (36.3%) and feeding (30.7%). Findings also show majority of males (67.6%) and female (72.1%) poultry producers use intensive system of livestock production in the study area.  The result findings also reveals insufficient fund (85.3%) and Domestic and household work (72.1%) as the major constraints posing threats to women/female participation in poultry production. The study concluded that poultry production is dominated by male/men and therefore, recommended that there is need to organize programs that will include more woman in poultry production.

A promising approach for the provision of high-quality supplementary feed for dry season ruminant feeding is the use of fungal-treated crop residues. This current study, therefore, used 3 Pleurotus species (P. ostreatus -PO, P. florida – PF, and P. sajor-caju- PS) to treat 4 crop residues (cowpea chaff - CC, millet chaff - MC, groundnut haulm - GH, and maize stover -MST) over 20 days at room temperature. The treated residues were afterward dried and sub-samples were taken for chemical composition (Dry matter – DM, crude protein – CP, Neutral detergent fibre – NDF, and Acid detergent fibre – ADF) determination and in vitro studies (in vitro gas and methane gas production). The Pleurotus species improved the crop residues nutrient composition through increased CP values and decreased NDF and ADF values but the species varied in their residues preference. PO greatly improved GH and CC; PS greatly improved MC; and PF greatly improved MST. The Pleurotus species improved the in vitro gas production of millet chaff (57 – 107 ml/ g DM – PF; 123 ml/ g DM – PS; and 130 ml/ g DM – PO) only. The highest in vitro gas production in PO-treated MC was complemented with comparable methane gas production (3.28 – 5.19 ml/ g DM) and percentage methane in total gas production (7 – 7%) to intact residue at 72h of incubation. It can be concluded that PO-treated millet chaff can be used as improved supplementary dry season feed for better ruminant production.
DETERMINANTS OF AGRICULTURAL COMMERCIALIZATION AMONG SMALLHOLDER RICE FARMERS IN EKITI-STATE, NIGERIA.
Authors: OJO O.O.
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the paper is to examine the determinants of agricultural commercialization among smallholder rice farmers in Ekiti-state, Nigeria. Examining factors influencing agricultural commercialization among smallholder rice farmers is important for boosting rice production and making price of rice affordable. However, study focusing on factors influencing agricultural commercialization among smallholder rice farmers are very few. Hence the need for this study. The paper used cross sectional data obtained from a simple random sampling where a sample of 420 smallholder rice farmers was obtained. Descriptive statistics and double hurdle regression analysis were employed as analytical methods to obtain results on respondents’ socioeconomics characteristics and factors influencing agricultural commercialization. The findings indicate that men engaged more in rice production than women irrespective of their commercialization status and commercializing respondents produce more tonnes of rice than their non-commercializing counterparts. Some of the determinants of the decision to commercialize and intensify commercialization include: education, earning income from other crops, access to credit, being member of agricultural production group and reduced cost of transportation. Therefore, in order to boost rice production there is the need for government and NGOs to support rice farmers (particularly the young male) in terms of improving their level of education and access to credit via group lending which would promote group formation. Also, efforts in the direction of reduction of transaction costs via good road networks, subsidizing price of means of transport and as well as mobile phone and improving extension services delivery should be prioritized.

This study explored the potential impacts of cricket-derived chitin and chitosan on the immune systems of Cobb500 broilers. One hundred and fifty broiler chicks of the Cobb500 strain were randomly assigned to any one of the five dietary groups in order to accomplish this. While the first set of birds (group 1) were only served the basal diet with no supplementation, the second to fifth sets of birds (groups 2 to 5) were served a diet supplemented with 500 mg/kg of the following: cricket-chitin, cricket-chitosan, shrimp-chitin, and shrimp-chitosan. The bursa and spleen were weighed relative to the body weight, and qPCR was used to determine the spleen's relative expression of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), toll-like receptor 15 (TLR15), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) genes. After 42 days of dietary cricket-chitin, the bulk of the index immunological organs increased (P<0.05). At day 21, TLR4, TLR15, IL-1β, and iNOS expression were unaffected by chitin and chitosan, but at day 42, they were down-regulated (P<0.05). However, during day 21, dietary shrimp-derived chitosan enhanced (P<0.05) the relative expression of TLR4, TLR15, and IL-1β, whereas the expression of TLR15 was lowered (P<0.05) but that of TLR4 was increased by cricket-chitin and shrimp-chitin. According to our findings, feeding broiler chicks with 500 mg/kg of shrimp chitosan and cricket-derived chitin can positively boost their immunity.
CLASSIFICATION OF ARCHITECTURAL MONUMENTS OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES OF THE CARPATHIAN REGION
Authors: Terletska Kh.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to studying ways to classify architectural monuments of territorial communities of the Carpathian region. The study’s relevance is due to the active development of the Carpathian region, which leads to an increase in the importance and need to preserve cultural heritage sites located on its territory.
The article aims to classify the architectural monuments of the amalgamated territorial communities of Prykarpattia to preserve, study, and properly use them in the context of the active development of this region. To achieve this goal, we solved several tasks: defined the essence of the concept of ‘architectural monument’ and the most common ways of classifying architectural monuments; classified architectural monuments of the united territorial communities of Prykarpattia; determined the role of classification in the preservation, study, and proper use of architectural monuments of this region and the country as a whole. The study used general scientific methods of cognition: induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, association and analogy.
The study found that architectural monuments are classified by status, type, and purpose. The classification of architectural monuments of the territorial communities of Prykarpattia is essential for their preservation, protection, and determination of cultural and historical significance. To date, many of these sites are in unsatisfactory and close to critical condition and, therefore, require urgent emergency and conservation work. The implementation of these measures is complicated by problems existing in the state system of protection of cultural heritage sites. These problems include the imperfection of existing registers, reduced funding, and the lack of a comprehensive state program of action for the protection, preservation, maintenance, use, conservation, restoration, rehabilitation, and museumification of cultural heritage sites. Their classification can partially solve these problems.
The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying the results obtained to develop and improve strategies for the preservation, study, and proper use of architectural monuments of the communities of Prykarpattia.
Keywords: architectural monument, united territorial community, cultural heritage, UNESCO, State Register of Immovable Monuments.
Being Christian in Late Antique Ireland
Authors: Johnston Elva
Published: December 2023

Conversion to Christianity in late antique Ireland is frequently interpreted as the replacement of one set of practices, broadly and problematically defined as pagan, with new and transformative Christian ones. This assumes clear boundaries between being Christian and being pagan throughout the 4th and 6th centuries ce, the period during which Christianity and, eventually, its institutions became ever more important. However, a growing body of material evidence, alongside a reinterpretation of textual sources, illuminates blurred, shifting and deeply contingent boundaries. This aligns with what is known of Christian conversion elsewhere in Roman and post-Roman Late Antiquity. For example, burial practices, the use of epigraphy (ogam stones) and the demarcation of physical Christian spaces all highlight different aspects of complex and changing religious affiliations. Sometimes it is possible to pinpoint moments when the boundary between being Christian and being pagan shifted, as the example of the celebration of the Feast of Tara by the Christian king Díarmait mac Cerbaill in 560 demonstrates. Throughout these formative centuries, Irish Christians and pagans lived side by side and shared the same environments. Ultimately, the much-analysed Christian culture of the 7th century grew out of these shared experiences.
Funerary Practices and the Construction of Religious and Social Identities in the South-East of Gaul from the 4th to the 10th Century
Authors: Blaizot Frédérique
Published: December 2023

How might funerary archaeology contribute to the discussion about religious identities in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages? In answer to this question, I describe the different ways in which religious and social practices are expressed and evolve in a given context. In Roman Gaul, the large-scale switch to inhumation in the second half of the 3rd century may be linked to a change in perception of the idealised image of the deceased, and is not accompanied by any change in burial practices or in the organisation and dynamics of funerary areas. A century later, traditional funerary practices are widely represented in the archaeological series, but funerary areas are emerging whose organisation and dynamics differ from those of the early Roman empire. In larger cities, some are developing around a funeral basilica erected on the mausoleum of a saint, and their graves clearly show changes from past practices. These new funerary expressions, which become exclusive in the second half of the 5th century, can be linked with the rise and the structuring of Christianity, along with social changes. During the Early Middle Ages, before the completion of the parish system in the 11th century, societies successively build their Christian identity. Using their burial customs and the organisation of their deceased, these societies display their socio-cultural norms, both inherited from and partly reshaped throughout their history. Our archaeological data show that in the funerary sphere, sense of religious identity is not expressed in the same way at the end of the 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th centuries, and that the real break between Antiquity and the Middle Ages relates mainly to the silencing of individual and familial memory in favour of the construction of a collective Christian memory.
Material Culture and Religious Affiliation in 4th-Century Gaul: A Time of Invisibility
Authors: Van Andringa William
Published: December 2023

A still poorly understood, let alone explained, page of history is the evolution of pagan cult places in the Western Roman empire from the 3rd to the 5th century ce. Based on available sources, all, or nearly all, has already been said on the restoration of the imperial state and Roman city-states after the crisis of the 3rd century, the slow integration of Christian communities into the life of cities, and the continuity of paganism until its near destruction under Theodosius at the end of the 4th century. At the same time, the transformation of public religious systems organised by cities from the Augustan period onwards remains in large part unknown. The reason for this is first and foremost the disappearance of epigraphical sources after 250 ce, poorly replaced by the works of Christian or pagan writers, often rhetorical and polemical. This chapter evaluates the fundamental problem of religious transformations in the 4th century, starting from the results of recent excavations, showing that a certain number of great civic sanctuaries, built and restored at great expense by local elites from the 1st to the beginning of the 3rd century, had already been abandoned and even dismantled in the second half of the 3rd century. This phase of abandonment, occurring before the conversion of Constantine and the rise of Christianity as the official religion, reveals an essential change in religious practices in the provinces and a transformation of religious identities, in the way of being pagan. Related to this is the transformation of the urban landscape in the provinces of Gaul, confirming that the celebration of public sacrifices and ludi scaenici, of big festivals, seems to have ceased in the 4th century, the fortification of towns taking priority over religious festivals. What was it, then, to be pagan or Christian in the 4th century in Gaul, when the big festivals had ceased, and when Christian communities were not yet constructing monumental meeting places or churches and cathedrals, a process only documented by archaeology from the very end of the 4th century and into the 5th century?
‘Barbarian Sages’ between Christianity and Paganism in Ammianus Marcellinus and the Cosmographia Aethici
Authors: Lampinen Antti
Published: December 2023

The chapter compares the representation of ‘sages’, ‘philosophers’ or ‘wise men’ in Ammianus Marcellinus’ Res Gestae from the late 4th century and in the Cosmographia Aethici of ‘Pseudo-Jerome’ from the 8th century, with a particular focus on the ways in which these two widely differing texts engage with the idea of ‘pagan’ or ‘barbarian’ wisdom traditions and their carriers. In so doing, the chapter compares the two authors’ strategies and techniques in representing inherited, non-Greek (or non-Roman) wisdom among the peoples of the world. Despite the great differences between the two texts and the contexts of their creation, both surprising similarities and telling differences can be found between them. Both texts love to refer to secret letters and hidden information; another similarity is the way both authors tried to avoid locking themselves into either a ‘Christian’ or a ‘pagan’ way of writing. The resulting complications are in both cases part of the author’s reflection on the difficulty of extracting truth from testimonies with various degrees of authority and age.
Paradise Lost/Regained: Healing the Monastic Self in the Coenobium of Dorotheus of Gaza
Authors: Stenger Jan R.
Published: December 2023

This chapter deals with the construction of Christian identity in the instructions given by Dorotheus (6th century ce) to his brothers in a monastery near Gaza. It focuses on the link between good or bad health and religious selfhood in Dorotheus’ monastic anthropology. In Dorotheus’ view, Christian identity is beset by the experience of loss because since Adam’s fall, human existence has been riddled with unnatural passions which prevent reunion with God. The only way to regain one’s own nature – that is, original identity – is habituation to a truly Christian, i.e. ascetic, life. The chapter examines Dorotheus’ rhetoric of healing against the backdrop of Stoic philosophy and ancient medical theorisation in order to show that he sets out a detailed programme of rebuilding Christian identity. Its ultimate goal is to restore, through ascetic exercises, both spiritual and physical, the integrity of the human being. It is argued that the medical conceptualisation helps Dorotheus to shape the embodied ascetic self.

Published: December 2023

Text mining is a new technology that attempts to find useful patterns, trends, patterns and rules from unstructured text data. One of the most commonly used techniques in Text Mining is Sentiment Analysis. Sentiment analysis is the most widely used classification tool to explore an author's attitude. It explores whether the author's attitude is positive, negative or impartial by means of a text. As most of the information in the internet age is found as text, the importance and usage areas of Sentiment analysis are increasing day by day. Sentiment analysis, which is frequently used in social media, can be used to expose users' ideas about a particular topic or product. The aim of this study is to transform drug reviews on websites into meaningful information. This information can help users in decision-making. In this study, personal data obtained from a social platform with Alzheimer's drug reviews of 78 users were evaluated. In particular, the selection of Alzheimer's drugs, unlike other drugs, allows the observations of the patients and relatives of the patient to be evaluated together. The 3723 people who read the review and found it useful strengthens the effect of the comment. In the implementation phase, polarity values of user comments were calculated with Sentiment analysis and Alzheimer's drugs were ranked with the formula developed. In this way, the satisfaction levels of consumers according to the drugs were determined.
BİR SENDROM OLARAK POPÜLİZM: POPÜLİST ANTAGONİZMANIN SİYASET PSİKOLOJİSİ

Published: December 2023

Bu makalede, küresel düzeyde hızla yükselişe geçen popülizmin halk ile seçkinler arasında meydana gelen antagonistik niteliğinin siyaset psikolojisi eksenli değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda, özne ile yapı arasındaki ilişkinin diyalektik bir biçimde gerçekleştiği argümanı ekseninde bireylerin neden popülist politikalar benimseyen siyasetçileri desteklediği ve popülizmin hangi psikolojik etkenler sebebiyle yükselişe geçtiği sorgulanmıştır. Bu yaklaşım doğrultusunda popülizmin ayırt edici nitelikleri olarak halk merkezcilik, seçkin karşıtlığı ve genel irade kapsamında beliren otoriter lider unsurları üzerinde özenle durulmuştur. Söz konusu nitelikler, siyaset psikolojisi eksenli bir yaklaşım dahilinde özellikle toplumsal kimlik, grup aidiyetliği, narsisizm, bilişsel ve duygusal unsurlar temelinde değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada, popülizmin temsili demokrasinin gölgesinde beliren bir sendrom olduğu argümanı benimsenmiştir. Bu bakımdan popülizmin, mevcut demokrasi bunalımlarını farklı biçimlerde ve çoğunlukla anti demokratik şekilde gündeme getirdiği ileri sürülmüştür. Nihayetinde, mevcut eşitsizlik ve adaletsizlikler karşısında pejoratif duygulara sahip bireylere seslenerek kurgusal bir “kurtuluş” vaadinde bulunan popülizmin 21. yüzyıl itibarıyla yükselişe geçmesinin alternatif grup ve toplumsal kimlik aidiyetliğine bağlı olarak beliren kolektif narsisizm ile ilişkili olduğu vurgulanmıştır.

There are two of commercial varieties of alfalfa (Medicago varia Mart.) ‘Vega 87’ and ‘Nakhodka’ originated from Russia, it are cultivated for introducing in Mongolian climate and ecological condition. Growth development of those varieties required from 136 to 143 days between regrowth in spring and the seed mature in the autumn. Wintering rate was 92.6% in ‘Nakhodka’ and 88.5% in ‘Vega 87’ in the first year and increased by 5.8 and 7.3% in the second year, respectively. Green biomass and hay yield of ‘Nakhodka’ were higher than ‘Vega 87’ and average green biomass of two years in ‘Nakhodka’ was 13.5 t/ha and 10.9 t/ha in ‘Vega 87’, the hay yield was 5.4 t/ha in ‘Nakhodka’ and 3.6 t/ha in ‘Vega 87’ at flowering stage. Moreover, humus content, phosphorus, potassium content and texture were determined in the depth of 0–10, 10–20, 20–30 cm in control and alfalfa cultivated areas. Humus content ranged between 3.1–3.6% in the depth of alfalfa cultivated areas while 2.8% in control area in the depth of 0–20 cm and humus content was increased by 9.36–14.5% (in relative terms) in alfalfa cultivated areas compared to the control. Then phosphorus content was 4.93 mg/100 g in ‘Nakhodka’ cultivated area, 4.11 mg/100 g in ‘Vega 87’ cultivated area and 3.70 mg/100 g in control area in the depth of 0–10 cm. Potassium content was ranged between 23.4–23.9 mg/100 g in alfalfa cultivated areas while it was 20.6 mg/100 g in 0–10 cm of depth. According to the soil survey result, there is no difference in soil texture between treatments (alfalfa cultivated areas and control area), but humus content and content of phosphorus, potassium had increased in alfalfa cultivated areas.

Crustal heterogeneity effects on coseismic deformation: numerical simulation of the 2008 MW 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake
Authors: Shi Mingqian , Meng Sichen , Hu Caibo , Shi Yaolin
Published: December 2023

Coseismic deformation of large earthquakes causes significant property damages and fatalities, which requires quantitative research of multiple disciplines such as geodesy, geological investigation, seismic tomography, and seismic dislocation theory. The finite element method accounts for material heterogeneity and geometric complexity, making it suitable for studying the coseismic deformation of large earthquakes. This paper develops a parallel elastic finite element program that utilizes split nodes and high-performance parallel computing technology on the FELAC software platform to study the coseismic deformation of large earthquakes. We verify the accuracy of the parallel elastic finite element program by comparing its results with the analytical solutions from seismic dislocation theory for four ideal earthquake cases. Finally, we established parallel elastic finite element models to study the coseismic deformation of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. The simulation results are consistent with the GPS and InSAR data. Coseismic surface deformation results are significantly influenced by medium regional heterogeneity with different layered structures besides the Longmenshan fault. The finite element program lay the foundation for the inversion of the coseismic fault rupture process based on the heterogeneous medium model and complex geometric model.
A Carnegie perspective on intermittent risk taking in entrepreneurship
Authors: Kim Ji-hyun , Terlaak Ann , Yu Naryoung
Published: December 2023

Varying risk-taking tendency is an important area of inquiry for the Carnegie perspective. Drawing on organizational learning literature, we develop a model to illuminate the mechanisms that can underlie time-varying risk taking tendency in entrepreneurship. In particular, we delineate conditions under which abrupt risk taking punctuates periods of risk-avoiding behaviors, a pattern that we call “intermittent risk taking.” We use serial entrepreneurs whose bouts with risk taking are often depicted as driven by an entrepreneurial itch to illustrate our model. In our conceptualization, decision makers engage in an interplay of experiential and vicarious learning as they move into and out of higher-risk self-employment (i.e., venture creation) with in-between stints in lower-risk wage-employment. Using a computational model to simulate the dynamics of this conceptualization, we find that vicarious learning from satisfied risk-avoiding peers can exert a pull that draws disappointed entrepreneurs into periods of risk avoidance (i.e., wage-employment). However, the moment that the satisfaction of these peers fails to convince, this pull wanes. In effect, the entrepreneur vicariously learns that the grass may not be greener on the other side which then leads them to return into self-employment. The itch for risk taking then recurs not necessarily because risky venture creation offers higher payoffs than risk-avoiding options but because decision makers come to see that risk avoidance may not be a satisfactory alternative either — a conceptualization that adds nuance to prior notions of varying risk tendencies and serial entrepreneurship.
Nucleation Process in Explosive Boiling Phenomena of Water on Micro-Platinum Wire
Authors: Yoo Yungpil , Kwak Ho-Young
Published: December 2023

The maximum temperature limit at which liquid boils explosively is referred to as the superheat limit of liquid. Through various experimental studies on the superheating limit of liquids, rapid evaporation of liquids has been observed at the superheating limit. This study explored the water nucleation process at the superheat limit achieved in micro-platinum wires using a molecular interaction model. According to the molecular interaction model, the nucleation rate and time delay at 576.2 K are approximately 2.1 × 1011/(μm3μs) and 5.7 ns, respectively. With an evaporation rate (116.0 m/s) much faster than that of hydrocarbons (14.0 m/s), these readings show that explosive boiling or rapid phase transition from liquid to vapor can occur at the superheat limit of water. Subsequent bubble growth after bubble nucleation was also considered.

Preparation and Characterization of Conductive/Self-Healing Resin Nanocomposites Based on Tetrafunctional Furan-Functionalized Aniline Trimer Modified Graphene
Authors: Wang Feng , Zhang Yichuan , Hu Su , Zhong Xiangyu , Bai Jiangbo , Zhang Yang , Bao Jianwen
Published: December 2023

The nanocomposites with reversible cross-linking covalent bonds were prepared by reacting furfurylamine (FA)-modified diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and furfuryl-functionalized aniline trimer-modified graphene (TFAT-G) with bismaleimide (BMI) via the Diels-Alder (DA) reaction. The successful synthesis of the TFAT modifier is confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) hydrogen spectroscopy and IR spectroscopy tests. The structure and properties of TFAT-G epoxy nanocomposites are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), tensile, and resistivity. The results show that TFAT-G was uniformly dispersed in the resin, and 1 wt% TFAT-G composites increased to 233% for tensile strength, 63% for elongation at break, 66% for modulus, and 7.8 °C for Tg. In addition, the addition of unmodified graphene degrades the mechanical properties of the composite. Overall, the graphene/self-healing resin nanocomposites have both good self-healing function and electrical conductivity by adding 1 wt% modified graphene; this allows for the maintenance of the original 83% strength and 89% electrical conductivity after one cycle of heating repair.
perspectiva subjetiva en el análisis de competencias socioemocionales de profesionales en el contexto laboral

Published: December 2023

Los instrumentos que se declaran en la literatura científica para evaluar las competencias socioemocionales no ofrecen total garantía para ello, se evalúan constructos asociados y no directamente esta competencia, lo cual limita su caracterización en el contexto de las exigencias de la actuación y de su ejecución real. La aplicación de técnicas estandarizadas expresa la aproximación a conocer el comportamiento y funcionamiento del constructo en un rango de cifras que ubican a un grupo de sujetos de manera tendencial, por patrones y estimados. Aquí se obvia la comprensión de su naturaleza, de lo fenomenológico, de lo propiamente psicológico como demanda este tipo de competencias por su compromiso con la esfera emocional del sujeto. Por ello, esta investigación tiene como objetivo ofrecer referentes teóricos-metodológicos para la comprensión del desarrollo de dimensiones de la competencia socioemocional en el desempeño de calidad desde la perspectiva subjetiva. Se realiza un estudio cualitativo con 12 dependientes gastronómicos que laboran en un hotel de ciudad con administración internacional, empleando en la metodología la entrevista semiestructurada, el diferencial semántico, el completamiento de frases y de historias. Los resultados se analizan a través del análisis de contenido, y de la triangulación de contenidos. Se descubren las principales necesidades psicoeducativas en la conciencia emocional, regulación emocional y expresión emocional para promover desempeños de calidad. Las interrelaciones que de develan en el discurso de los participantes pudieran estar direccionando los procesos del desarrollo. Se reconocen vías para desarrollar estas dimensiones de las competencias socioemocionales en consecuencia con los hallazgos obtenidos.
