Приведены схемы использования передвижной пожарной техники для тушения крупных пожаров воздушно-механической пеной с использованием стандартного оборудования, производимого в России. Все указанные схемы имеют похожие недостатки: невысокая точность дозирования; невозможность дозирования неньютоновских пенообразователей для тушения пожаров водорастворимых жидкостей; высокая зависимость параметров дозирования от температуры пенообразователей; малые расходы стандартных дозаторов. Дано описание разработанного оборудования, которое решает указанные проблемы, показана схема его боевого развертывания.

When extinguishing large fires of flammable liquids firefighters need to ensure the dosage of foaming agent at high flow rates. The standard schemes of using firefighting equipment manufactured in Russia and widely used by the departments of EMERCOM of Russia are analyzed. In all cases, ejector or pressure foam dosing devices are used. These devices have significant technical drawbacks, not allowing full use of the potential of fire-fighting equipment and modern foaming agents. The problem is most acute when extinguishing water-soluble flammable liquids. To extinguish them non-Newtonian foaming agents are used, which have dozens of times higher viscosity (in the quiescent state). Viscosity further increases as the temperature of the foaming agent decreases. Specialists of the Orenburg branch of VNIIPO suggested solving these problems by using a new type of mobile firefighting equipment – foam transportable SKID. It is based on a bladder tank with heat insulation and a heating system on a movable platform with compartments for firefighting equipment. The heating system provides a constant temperature to maintain the viscosity within the required limits, which allows the foam module to be used in the Arctic region as well. Foam module provides precise dosage in a wide range of flow rates and pressures, works with all types of foaming agent. Foam SKID can be used in combination with the most regular types of mobile firefighting equipment (scheme of using is attached).
Coefficients of the influence of fittings thermal characteristics on fire resistance of compressed reinforced concrete elements
Authors: Артемьев Е.А.
Published: June 2023

Предложено модифицировать методику расчета огнестойкости железобетонных конструкций с учетом влияния на показатели их огнестойкости теплотехнических характеристик арматуры. В основу модификации методики положены корректирующие коэффициенты К1 и К2, полученные в результате экспериментальных исследований и численного анализа. Доказано повышение огнестойкости железобетонных элементов при увеличении содержания в них арматуры от 3,5 до 8,0 %.

Methods of calculation justification of the bearing capacity of columns, with different percentages of reinforcement, have been developed, tested and fixed in domestic and foreign design standards. The calculation of the fire resistance of columns with small percentages of reinforcement has also been tested and is performed in accordance with the methodology. However, for columns with an increased percentage of reinforcement (more than 3.5 %), the use of the standard technique can lead to excessive reserves and overspending of materials, since when determining the cross-sectional temperature fields for calculating fire resistance, the method does not take into account the thermal influence of reinforcement. Previously conducted by the author experimental studies of cross-section heating temperatures and fire resistance of compressed reinforced concrete elements allowed a comparative analysis of the studied parameters with the results of numerical calculations, the obtained comparable convergence allowed further calculations of reinforced concrete elements in the Abaqus software package with different geometric dimensions and percentage of reinforcement. According to the results of the numerical study, it was determined that when reinforcing reinforced concrete elements up to 3.5%, the influence of thermal characteristics on the strength resistance of reinforced concrete elements under fire is practically absent, but when reinforcing from 3.5 % to 8 %, the greatest influence of thermal characteristics of reinforcement inclusions on the bearing capacity of the elements is manifested. At the same time, it is also recorded that this positive effect disappears when reinforcing elements of more than 8 %, which is due to the significant bearing capacity of reinforcing bars (when compared with concrete), which is 50 percent or more.
Un principio ético para la Gestión de Riesgos de Desastres Socionaturales en Chile: aportes desde una mirada geográfica
Authors: Araya-Cornejo Cristian , Lizana Vásquez Fabian Esteban , Abarca Paredes Francisco Andrés
Published: June 2023

Los Desastres Socionaturales son una realidad con que ha convivido el ser humano desde que tiene memoria. A pesar de los esfuerzos realizados para erradicarlos en Chile y el mundo, aún existen un sinnúmero de falencias técnicas, normativas, institucionales y éticas, que han hecho que persista un problema que muchos creyeron poder erradicar con los avances de la ciencia moderna y una gruesa institucionalidad, tanto nacional como internacional, reflejando un remanente utilitarista. El claro vacío ético en la discusión ha llevado a que, desde la academia y desde disciplinas como la Geografía se hayan realizado aportes que han superado la barrera técnico-científica, incluyendo conceptos provenientes del enfoque occidental rawlsiano de la justicia social. Si bien es un avance importante, debido a que es un problema global, se debe avanzar hacia una discusión que incluya todas las visiones y todos los componentes del problema, es decir, a la Tierra y su comunidad biótica. Este trabajo propone el principio ético de la «Ética de la Tierra» ofrecido por Aldo Leopold, como base para el inicio de una nueva discusión que supere la frontera del antropocentrismo que ha limitado las posibilidades de una solución más sustentable en lo que respecta a la reducción del Riesgo de Desastres Socionaturales.
La transición hacia la economía circular de los residuos en Argentina: aportes metodológicos para su abordaje a través del análisis de los casos del plástico y del vidrio
Authors: Carenzo Sebastián , Saidón Mariana , Stevanato Ana
Published: June 2023

Este trabajo propone claves para abordar las políticas para la transición hacia una economía circular (EC) inclusiva en la Argentina. Como estrategia metodológica se estudia el caso del plástico y del vidrio, combinando la sistematización y análisis de información secundaria con entrevistas a informantes clave, para, luego, realizar un abordaje analítico de la cuestión. Como resultados se obtiene que, estas políticas en el país se plantean más desde lo discursivo que desde la práctica efectiva, que los dispositivos metodológicos para diagnosticar y diseñar políticas resultan insuficientes para impulsar una perspectiva de EC inclusiva, en tanto están generalmente circunscritos a espacios acotados como jurisdicciones municipales y/o unidades manufactureras, invisibilizando dinámicas interjurisdiccionales y sectoriales involucradas en el ciclo de vida de los productos. Se sugiere que se deben diseñar las políticas desde otra perspectiva metodológica, cruzando lo situado en los niveles locales, con otros niveles de gobierno y un análisis por corrientes y su dinámica, para encontrar políticas apropiadas y avanzar hacia una EC exitosa.

The different variants of manipulation of social behavior have always awakened the interest of psychiatrists, psychologists and sociologists. For the contemporary psychology, the term Machiavellianism refers to a facet of the interpersonal behavior defined by a person's tendency to manipulate the attitude of others to achieve their own interests. These are associated with a cynical view of the human nature in which the expectations and needs of people in the social environment are ignored in a selfish and egocentric way. From a particular personal perspective, Machiavellianism is considered to belong to a “black triad” of the personality together with narcissism and psychopathy, having evil effects on social life. Despite the pejorative meanings that can be attributed to the term Machiavellian, they can represent a way of deeper knowledge of human psychology. It integrates a variant of maladaptive functioning of personality in social life and has a genetic, neurobiological and clinical expression. We aim to comment on the legitimacy of considering Machiavellianism as one of the personality disorders using the diagnostic criteria related to them.

The neoplasms of the central nervous system represent a frequent and heterogeneous disease group, with treatment implying a combination of surgical intervention with both chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Cerebral radiotherapy affects not only the tumor tissue but also the viable brain tissue, causing direct lesions to both the white matter and the gray matter and so leading to cognitive impairments, depressive and anxiety syndromes. The pathogenesis of psychiatric syndromes induces by radiotherapy is complex and not yet fully understood and the current review tries to summaries some of the possible pathogenic ways involved.
EVALUATION OF FILLET WELDS PROPERTIES PERFORMED BY COLD METAL TRANSFER ROBOTIC METAL ACTIVE GAS WELDING TECHNOLOGY
Authors: Brezinová Janette , Hašuľ Ján
Published: June 2023

The article is the result of research evaluating the quality of fillet welds used in the production of rear seat backrests for passenger cars and manufactured robotically by Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) robotic Metal Active Gas (MAG) welding. When robotizing the process, parameters such as the speed of the process itself, accuracy and quality of the welded joints are important. Dual-phase ferritic-martensitic steel HCX 590X was used for the experiment and four weld nodes were evaluated. The quality of welded joints was evaluated by visual and capillary methods. Based on the metallographic analysis, the weld depth of the weld root was evaluated. The measured values were subsequently processed by statistical method ANalysis Of Variance (ANOVA). The research confirmed that the final quality of the welds depends on the depth of the weld root weld into the Base Material (BM). This parameter has the greatest effect on the welds made and results in the entire product being taken out of service.
Joint Modeling of Radial Velocities and Photometry with a Gaussian Process Framework
Authors: Tran Quang H. , Bedell Megan , Foreman-Mackey Daniel , Luger Rodrigo
Published: June 2023

Developments in the stability of modern spectrographs have led to extremely precise instrumental radial velocity (RV) measurements. For most stars, the detection limit of planetary companions with these instruments is expected to be dominated by astrophysical noise sources such as starspots. Correlated signals caused by rotationally modulated starspots can obscure or mimic the Doppler shifts induced by even the closest, most massive planets. This is especially true for young, magnetically active stars where stellar activity can cause fluctuation amplitudes of ≳0.1 mag in brightness and ≳100 m s−1 in RV semiamplitudes. Techniques that can mitigate these effects and increase our sensitivity to young planets are critical to improving our understanding of the evolution of planetary systems. Gaussian processes (GPs) have been successfully employed to model and constrain activity signals in individual cases. However, a principled approach of this technique, specifically for the joint modeling of photometry and RVs, has not yet been developed. In this work, we present a GP framework to simultaneously model stellar activity signals in photometry and RVs that can be used to investigate the relationship between both time series. Our method, inspired by the FF

′

framework of Aigrain et al., models spot-driven activity signals as the linear combinations of two independent latent GPs and their time derivatives. We also simulate time series affected by starspots by extending the starry software to incorporate time evolution of stellar features. Using these synthetic data sets, we show that our method can predict spot-driven RV variations with greater accuracy than other GP approaches.
Core-collapse Supernova Explosions in Active Galactic Nucleus Accretion Disks
Authors: Li Fu-Lin , Liu Yu , Fan Xiao , Hu Mao-Kai , Yang Xuan , Geng Jin-Jun , Wu Xue-Feng
Published: June 2023

Astrophysical events that occur in active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks are believed to differ significantly from the ordinary in the interstellar medium. We show that stars located in the outer region of the AGN disk would explode near the original migration starting points instead of being accreted by the central supermassive black hole owing to the effect of viscosity. AGN disks provide a dense environment for supernova (SN) explosions, which inevitably involve ejecta–disk interactions. In this paper, we investigate the light curves (LCs) of core-collapse SNe that exploded in AGN disks. In addition to the fundamental energy source of the 56Ni–56Co–56Fe decay reaction powering the SN LCs, the forward/reverse shock produced during interactions may contribute significantly to the observed flux. If the stellar winds manage to create a cavity surrounded by a shell near the star before the SN explosion, the ejecta–winds–disk configurations are expected. We present various SN LCs from different types of progenitors and find that the SN LCs are dominated by the radiation of ejecta–disk interaction induced shocks. The resulting SNe in the AGN disk are promising transient sources for UV and optical band detection by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, the Ultraviolet Explorer, and wide-field survey telescopes such as the Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite, the Wide Field Survey Telescope, and the Legacy Survey of Space and Time at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. These detections could aid in the investigation of AGN disks and the associated high-energy transient occurrences.

We report on the 2019 XMM-Newton+NuSTAR monitoring campaign of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 2992, observed at one of its highest flux levels in the X-rays. The time-averaged spectra of the two XMM-Newton orbits show ultrafast outflows (UFOs) absorbing structures above 9 keV with >3σ significance. A detailed investigation of the temporal evolution on a ∼5 ks timescale reveals UFO absorption lines at a confidence level >95% (2σ) in 8 out of 50 XMM-Newton segments, estimated via Monte Carlo simulations. We observe a wind variability corresponding to a length scale of 5 Schwarzschild radii r

Dépendance financière et maltraitance familiale des aînés au Sénégal
Authors: Niyonsaba Emmanuel
Published: June 2023

Cet article s’intéresse à la maltraitance familiale envers les personnes âgées en grande vulnérabilité économique vivant dans les familles modestes au Sénégal. En nous appuyant sur l’étude qualitative menée en milieu urbain à Dakar et Saint-Louis auprès de personnes âgées et de leurs proches, nous explorons les principaux facteurs de risque et l’interprétation qu’ont ces enquêtés de la maltraitance familiale. Nous analysons également les risques que représente la dépendance financière des aînés sur leur vie sociale et leur santé. L’étude montre que la maltraitance se caractérise par la violence psychologique et affective dans les familles éprouvant des difficultés à prendre en charge les besoins de la personne âgée. Elle s’accompagne chez les aînés du risque d’un repli sur soi marqué par le sentiment de perte de leur identité. Enfin, comme le révèle cette étude, les préoccupations consécutives à l’affaiblissement du pouvoir d’agir sur fond des ressources limitées, couplées aux effets paradoxaux de la valorisation excessive de la place sociale des personnes âgées, mettent au jour la nécessité de mettre en place des politiques préventives et des actions de sensibilisation sur les conséquences dramatiques de la maltraitance au sein des familles afin de permettre le maintien de l’identité des aînés concernés par ces facteurs de risque.
Maltraitance et Covid-19
Authors: Donnio Isabelle
Published: June 2023

La lutte contre les phénomènes de maltraitances à l’égard des personnes âgées en situation de vulnérabilité constitue un enjeu majeur de l’accompagnement de ces personnes, en établissements d’hébergement et de soins autant qu’à domicile depuis plus de 20 ans en France. Pour avoir participé à la levée de ce tabou dans les années 1990, collaboré aux moments clés des politiques publiques de lutte contre la maltraitance et de promotion de la bientraitance tout en mettant en œuvre des dispositifs de formation-action destinés à étayer les professionnels de ces établissements et services, il semble que des progrès sensibles ont été réalisés. Mais force est de constater que la crise sanitaire a constitué, a minima un révélateur, et, trop souvent, un accélérateur et un amplificateur de ces phénomènes. Les formations-actions et accompagnements d’établissements en cours et les nouvelles commandes de retours d’expériences Covid servent de base à compléter les analyses déjà réalisées et à partager de nouvelles alertes. Dans ce nouveau « moment du soin », afin d’éviter les maltraitances surajoutées en direction des aînés par les circonstances, il convient d’analyser les demandes des équipes autant que celles des familles sans oublier celles des premiers concernés afin de comprendre ces phénomènes et de répondre aux enjeux actuels, notamment grâce aux nombreux retours d’expériences.
Soigner et accompagner des personnes âgées à domicile pendant le confinement
Authors: Béliard Aude , Besombes Laure , Chastaingt Aurélie
Published: June 2023

Cet article rend compte de l’expérience de professionnelles intervenant au domicile de personnes âgées, au début de l’épidémie de Covid-19 en France, en mettant en regard deux contextes : la gestion de cas dans un dispositif MAIA et la kinésithérapie en libéral. Cette recherche a été menée conjointement par deux professionnelles et une sociologue, depuis la collecte de données (entretiens et récits de pratiques de mars à juin 2020) jusqu’à l’analyse et l’écriture. Nous analysons les épreuves vécues dans cette période marquée par le confinement, le risque sanitaire, les incertitudes et la pénurie de moyens. Les professionnelles ont dû arbitrer sur l’arrêt ou la reprise des visites à domicile, adapter leurs pratiques et leurs missions pour soigner et accompagner à distance, répondre à l’isolement et aux difficultés sanitaires et sociales accrues des personnes. Cependant, les difficultés vécues au quotidien n’ont pas été créées uniquement par la pandémie mais ont révélé des enjeux structurels propres à ces métiers. La crise sanitaire a mis en lumière leur rôle indispensable, ouvrant des possibilités de reconnaissance, de nouveaux projets et partenariats ; dans le même temps, les hiérarchies entre groupes professionnels ont été exacerbées, certaines actions invisibilisées ; les restructurations en cours dans les secteurs sanitaire et médico-social ont fortement contraint le champ des possibles.
De la race en sciences sociales (France, XXI e siècle) : éléments pour une synthèse comparative
Authors: Sabbagh Daniel
Published: June 2023

Le rejet répandu, persistant et multidéterminé du terme « race » dans l’espace public n’a pas empêché la publication de nombreux travaux sur la question raciale en France depuis une trentaine d’années. Certains visent à définir et/ou à historiciser le phénomène racial. D’autres portent plus spécifiquement sur la racialisation de l’action publique ou sur les modalités d’articulation entre la race et d’autres axes de subordination. Quels sont les résultats de ces travaux ? Le corpus en question présente-t-il des traits distinctifs que l’on pourrait rapporter à la configuration nationale dans laquelle il s’inscrit ? La synthèse sur les usages ou non-usages français du concept de race en sciences sociales ici proposée entend répondre à ces deux questions. Elle entend aussi identifier certaines limites et autres « points aveugles » de ces travaux afin de contribuer à orienter les recherches futures.
Dire et sentir
Authors: Palermiti Petra
Published: June 2023

Freud, enfant de son époque riche de découvertes, s’est intéressé à la philosophie comme aux sciences. Ses considérations sur le « reste » comme l’inconnaissable dans le psychisme l’amènent à se différencier de l’éclairage kantien et à souligner le rôle de la perception dans la formation du rêve et de la représentation. Le mot « reste » ne deviendra pas un concept dans son œuvre mais sera précisé par d’autres termes. Apparaît ainsi le Niederschlag, emprunté à la chimie, qui sera traduit par un ensemble de mots comme « précipité ». À d’autres moments apparaissent des mots composés comme les « restes diurnes » (Tagesreste). Leur emploi signe la prise en considération de la perception de Freud dans la formation des représentations de mots. Ces réflexions freudiennes ont été reprises et développées par des psychanalystes contemporains. Pour eux, le perceptif devient l’organisateur d’un état traumatique de vide de représentation. L’auteur souligne que le perceptif a ce rôle organisateur, non seulement dans des états traumatiques ou dans la vie nocturne, mais apparaît aussi dans les travaux d’artistes comme ceux de S. Hicks et encore dans le silence du quotidien de la cure.
Un reste ratatiné ?
Authors: de la Genardière Claude
Published: June 2023

À partir de la description donnée par Freud des débuts de la construction du moi et de son évolution vers la maturité, l’article revient sur le travail de la mémoire et sur une conception du temps qui appelle à une nouvelle mobilité, aussi bien en psychanalyse que dans d’autres disciplines aujourd’hui. Les métaphores archéologiques de Freud sont relues ici par Paul-Laurent Assoun puis par l’archéologue Laurent Olivier. Celui-ci renouvelle la comparaison de l’objet archéologique avec l’objet psychique en proposant une conception d’une mémoire mouvante du passé à laquelle nous ne pouvons donner sens que par et dans l’actuel. D’où son lien avec le travail de la mémoire en situation transférentielle. Mais c’est bien une nouvelle conception du temps et du rapport passé-présent-futur à laquelle ouvre l’archéologie d’aujourd’hui en interrogeant son lien avec la psychanalyse.
L’ enactment est-il un reste élaborable ?
Authors: Velt Johanna
Published: June 2023

Nous appuyant sur des vignettes cliniques et une revue de la littérature, nous montrons que l’enactment trouve ses origines dans le contre-transfert (Heimann), notamment de base (Parat), et la réactivité du rôle de l’analyste (role responsiveness, Sandler) ou la personnalité de l’analyste (Ferenczi, Rank). L’enactment serait alors une nouvelle voie royale vers l’inconscient et c’est la capacité de rêverie de l’analyste (Bion) qui favoriserait le passage d’un registre infra-représentationnel à un registre représentationnel, notamment l’accès au rêve. On peut voir l’enactment comme une répétition du traumatique dans le champ analytique et l’analyste pourrait en permettre l’élaboration. Les fonctionnements limites favorisant les agirs doivent nous amener à traiter ces derniers comme du matériel clinique qui se répète avant d’être remémoré. L’enactment est selon nous un reste du couple analytique qui peut trouver à s’élaborer et ouvre de nouvelles perspectives de recherche.
Brève histoire de la Società Psicoanalitica Italiana (SPI) dans le contexte international
Authors: Bolognini Stefano
Published: June 2023

L’histoire de la SPI est caractérisée par les grandes difficultés rencontrées au début de son existence. En effet, à cause du fascisme, de l’opposition de l’Église catholique, du courant philosophique idéaliste à l’université et de la psychiatrie organiciste dans le domaine médical, le développement de la psychanalyse a été fortement contrarié. Au niveau international, la méconnaissance des langues a pénalisé la présence des analystes italiens à l’étranger jusqu’à la seconde moitié des années 1980, en revanche, elle a favorisé un nombre considérable de traductions et de publications de livres et d’articles provenant de différentes parties du monde. Les nouvelles générations de la SPI, à partir des années 1990, se sont progressivement ouvertes sur la scène internationale avec un succès considérable tant sur le plan scientifique qu’institutionnel, contribuant de manière significative à l’évolution théorico-clinique et aux grandes réformes de la Société psychanalytique italienne. L’article présente les auteurs italiens les plus connus à l’étranger, mais qui ne représentent qu’une partie du riche panorama scientifique de la SPI.
« Il arrive souvent […] que le contenant précède le contenu »
Authors: Corsa Rita
Published: June 2023

La société psychanalytique italienne (SPI) fête bientôt ses cent ans. Elle fut fondée le 7 juin 1925 à Teramo (Rome) par le psychiatre Marco Levi Bianchini qui était alors directeur de l’asile psychiatrique de cette ville. Le premier président de la nouvelle société fut le psychiatre et psychanalyste triestin Edoardo Weiss. Les deux médecins avaient un écart d’âge de quatorze ans et des caractères différents, mais ils avaient en commun le projet – à cette époque quasi visionnaire – de diffuser la pensée psychanalytique en Italie, un pays « réticent non seulement à l’accepter, mais aussi à la nommer » (Bianchini, 1950). Freud eut des liens directs avec les deux médecins et soutint avec constance et ténacité les actions de Levi Bianchini qui ne connaissait la psychanalyse qu’à travers la lecture des textes et les contacts avec les psychanalystes du premier cercle freudien et du jeune Weiss qui pouvait s’appuyer sur une expérience de la psychanalyse plus solide grâce à l’analyse effectuée à Vienne avec Paul Federn et à sa formation au sein de l’école viennoise. Les deux précurseurs s’efforcèrent d’introduire la nouvelle science, malgré l’hostilité des milieux médico-scientifiques, religieux et politiques.
L’évolution de la pensée psychanalytique dans le contexte italien. L’empreinte des origines
Authors: Ferruta Anna
Published: June 2023

L’auteure revisite l’histoire de la pensée psychanalytique italienne et ses étapes fondamentales à partir de la fondation en 1925 de la Société Psychanalytique Italienne jusqu’à ses développements contemporains. L’article est organisé en différents sous-chapitres qui approfondissent La trace des origines, caractérisée par la traduction des Œuvres de Freud (1966-1980) et, à partir de 1946, par Les développements pluriels, c’est-à-dire par l’intérêt pour la pensée de Winnicott et Bion. La psychanalyse italienne est à la fois unitaire, centrée donc sur la pensée freudienne en tant que socle originaire, et plurielle, par rapport aux questions posées par l’intense travail clinique et à ses résonances transféro-contre-transférentielles sensibles aux Phases précoces de la vie psychique, à La relation et aux Transformations induites par le fonctionnement mental de l’analyste au sein du couple analytique.

Diversity and Equity in Japanese Education
Authors: Hirata Yoko
Published: June 2023

This chapter explores diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) research as it applies to education in Japan with the goal of raising awareness of opportunities for expanding education paradigms to better recognize the diverse needs of Japanese students. Starting from the grassroots perspective of tertiary English language education, this exploration is supported by a small pilot survey study that was given to students at two Japanese universities in the 2021 school year. The survey investigates students' learning styles and preferences with regard to their experiences in English verbal communication courses. The primary takeaway from these limited data remains widely unrecognized in the context of Japan's one-size-fits-all education system. While students' learning habits and expectations are internalized at an early age and rarely challenged, when given the opportunity to express themselves, the majority of students display a desire for collaborative and supportive learning environments which caters toward them as individuals.
Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language in an International Classroom
Authors: Kaledinova Elena , Budykina Vera
Published: June 2023

This chapter gives an overview of approaches, methods, and techniques for teaching Russian to speakers of other languages and describes the methodology used in the framework of the course Business Russian for students of international business management studies. These students study in an international learning environment and have diverse cultural and educational backgrounds. They are highly motivated to learn a foreign language to be prepared for international business, which is multicultural and multilingual. The chapter illustrates how students acquire knowledge of beginner's Business Russian. The method of inductive learning based on Kolb's theory of experiential learning as well as the communicative method were applied to provide students with the best present-day experience of learning Russian as a foreign language. Multicultural teaching models were considered to create an inclusive learning environment for students from different backgrounds.
Decolonizing the Mind
Authors: C. V. Anupama Nayar , Mathews Shobhana P. , Raghavan Sreelatha , Gnanaraj Daniel
Published: June 2023

This chapter attempts to understand the teaching-learning practices, programmes, courses, and pedagogies of an English department that recently co-opted cultural studies as a means of decolonisation in a private university in India to understand how cultural diversity, learner diversity, teacher experiences, and learner interests became considered factors in language learning pedagogies and selection of learning content. The research will employ mixed methods of qualitative and quantitative techniques of course content analysis, student interviews to gauge the impact of the learning on the decolonisation process, teacher interviews to understand approaches to task design, and the intended outcome and the strategies and perception changes in material production and task development when the learning shifted to the online mode as a result of the pandemic disruption.
A Self-Assessment of Employees' Entrepreneurship Competence
Authors: Pagnozzi Filomena , Venesaar Urve , Antonelli Gilda , Nokelainen Petri , Riviezzo Angelo
Published: June 2023

This chapter investigates the employees' perception of entrepreneurial mindset factors affecting the development of entrepreneurship competence (EC). Empirical cross-sectional data were collected with an online survey from 754 employees in five countries: Estonia, Finland, Poland, Portugal, and Italy. The survey aimed to measure four areas of EC (self-management, managing social situations, creative thinking and finding solutions, and acting upon opportunities and ideas) and the related 14 sub-competencies. The main aim was to verify if country-specific differences exist in employees' perceptions of entrepreneurship sub-competencies, and which sub-competencies are the best predictors for the actualization of a specific EC. A linear regression model was used for this aim.

Published: June 2023

The HEIs face challenges that require new teaching practices adjusted to the new realities and demands of the market. Companies and organizations seek transversal competences to solve immediate problems and project future scenarios. Co-creation between higher education institutions (HEIs) and companies make it possible to prepare students for the increasingly demanding and innovative labor market, particularly in the tourism and accommodation industry. This chapter presents contributions to applying innovative and interdisciplinary methodologies in the pedagogical practices of tourism and accommodation teaching. A teaching-learning model based on co-creation methods is proposed and illustrated with a case study developed in partnership with a regional tourist enterprise in Portugal. The chapter concludes with an analysis of the co-creation model's impact and an analysis of pedagogical tools for developing new and innovative accommodation products and services that are essential for differentiation and positioning in marketing strategies.
Evolution and Structure of Innovation Co-Creation Networks Between Universities and Industry
Authors: Sargento Ana Lúcia , Ferreira Vítor
Published: June 2023

Collaborative university-industry R&D is currently acknowledged as a key determinant of regional innovation. Several motivations to engage in such collaboration networks have been identified, either concerning industry partners—who seek to complement their knowledge-related resources and convert them into competitive factors—or academic partners—who find in these networks the opportunity to deal with real challenges, to create job opportunities for students and to ensure important sources of additional funding for basic research and teaching activities. This chapter studies the case of the Polytechnic of Leiria, characterising the recent evolution and structure of innovation co-creation networks established with industry in the last 12 years. A network analysis combining two different data sources revealed the dominant profile of partners with whom the Polytechnic of Leiria has interacted in co-promotion projects, in terms of the nature of the entity, size, sector of activity, international exposition, and geographical location.

This chapter aims to identify how higher education institutions (HEIs) have operationalised the transfer of knowledge to society in terms of research, development, and innovation; the determinants of this process; and how the knowledge transfer to society contributes to local and regional development and sustainability. Herein, a scoping review was carried out to address this goal. Out of 197 retrieved articles, 30 met the inclusion criteria. These studies concentrate on the following themes: (1) determinants of the knowledge transfer process between HEIs and society; (2) the state of knowledge transfer in HEIs; (3) transfer knowledge to local and regional development; and (4) transfer of knowledge to sustainability. This study concludes that although different determinants influencing this collaboration have been identified, most studies reveal that the transfer level is still at a very early stage.

The Involvement of Retired Public Workers in Entrepreneurship in Tanzania
Authors: Mwakujonga Joshua , Peter Judith
Published: June 2023

The authors investigated retired public workers' involvement in entrepreneurship by describing the choice of entrepreneurship activities by retirees, factors that motivate or compel them to partake in entrepreneurship, and challenges encountered by retirees in managing their ventures. The study employed a snowball sampling technique to ensure that the appropriate respondents were contacted and included in the sample. The study found that, to a large extent, retired workers became involved in entrepreneurship due to push factors that include fear of boredom and failure to meet personal and family needs. On the other hand, other retirees enter into entrepreneurship due to pull factors that include the desire for profits and capital gains, and the desire to accumulate wealth and assets. The study also found that retirees prefer to participate in crop and livestock production, retail businesses, and service-oriented businesses. The study found that limited seed and growth capital and inaccessibility to financial and credit markets are the main challenges facing retirees' businesses.

Published: June 2023

Artificial intelligence is a recent technological paradigm that mimics human thinking and evaluating ability. It has the potential to transfer human intelligence to informatics systems in business management and transform various business aspects such as information acquisition, product creation, and service utilization. It may also help businesses mitigate threats and capitalize on opportunities. However, some organizations have rushed into its adoption despite their limited operational skills and its high costs. In this context, dynamic capabilities are crucial for a company's growth, and artificial intelligence can transform the process. This chapter reviewed and analyzed data in the literature to reveal the performance enhancement and productivity improvement led by artificial intelligence in a way that utilizes capabilities, competencies, and resources of firms.

Published: June 2023

Both cyber security and information security are frequently used interchangeably. The latter adds a new dimension to the former by considering human variables throughout the security process, making the individual the focus of attention and a potential target. However, such talks about cyber security often revolve around social facets of society and have significant implications. To aid in cyber security, several models and systems have been developed. Both the number and complexity of hacks have increased dramatically over the past few decades. Because of this, developing a plan that cannot be compromised by online assaults is essential. As hackers become more sophisticated in their use of state-of-the-art techniques and cutting-edge technology, we are seeing an increase in hacking, attacks, and data leaks. In this chapter, the authors investigate few models and recent trends of threats and attacks of security models. In addition, they have also studied their shortcomings and the methods previously employed to counteract such hazards.
A Theoretical-Practical Case Study on the Graded Multidisciplinary Model
Authors: Flores-Nicolás Mauricio , Martínez-Reyes Magally
Published: June 2023

A model of educational processes called multidisciplinary gradual is presented, whose objective is to guide the teacher in the teaching-learning of STEAM educational activities using as a use case the topic of basic logic gates, which associates mathematical, algebraic, electronic, and logical knowledge, presenting the theory and strengthening it in practice. The topic of logic gates is not directly related to the middle-higher level educational plan; however, it is possible to apply and deepen it by relating the basic mathematical operations. The work describes the three stages that make up the model, achieving that students approach a problem or topic from different contexts, each discipline contributes its own knowledge and qualities, but not necessarily integrated in the common understanding of the problem, so that they develop the foundations to solve interdisciplinary and/or transdisciplinary problems. At the end, the results obtained by using this model with data from a control group and an intervention group are demonstrated with statistical analysis.
Transformative Learning and Experience
Authors: Fleming Ted
Published: June 2023

This paper explores experience that is both misconstrued and under theorized in adult education. Human experience is expressed in the public sphere as the motivation for social and political change. The connections among experience, the public sphere, and democracy are identified. The allies in exploring the role of experience in education are John Dewey and Jack Mezirow's transformation theory and their understanding is a basis for outlining a more critical theory-inspired understanding of education as the reconstruction of experience. The work of Oskar Negt on experience will be the starting point for engaging in re-thinking the role of experience in education. This will be the basis for exploring the transformation of experience as a way of better understanding aspects of Mezirow's theory of transformative learning. The author concludes with a brief presentation of sociological imagination as the key to developing a pedagogy of imagination and a pedagogy of the transformation of experience. Hannah Arendt's work provides a thread woven through the paper.
Impacts of Word of Mouth (WOM) on E-Business Online Pricing
Authors: Jin Keyan
Published: June 2023

In response to the rising power of electronic word of mouth (eWOM), marketers are gradually placing importance on the effects of their marketing strategies. The main objective of the study is to use both secondary as well as primary data to investigate the relationship and interaction between eWOM and online pricing. This study took BizRate UK, a price comparison website, as the database to investigate 100 mobile phone and tablet products and conducted interviews with online shoppers and managers from online retailers. After applying the test from quantitative methodologies, the result indicated the positive and negative reviews from online shoppers had an effect on pricing performance. Two types of reviews can be sorted out in a specific way as well. Finally, because the subject covers both quantitative (pricing) and qualitative (eWOM) aspects, future studies that are interested in this area should still apply the two methodologies for more accurate investigation.
Effect of the Chemical Modification of Diatomite/Isotactic Polypropylene Composite on the Rheological, Morphological and Mechanical Properties
Authors: Hichem Rouag , Bouhelal Said
Published: June 2023

The present study deals with the effect of the Diatomite (D) microcomposite with and without chemical modification in a polypropylene (iPP) blend. The objective is to achieve a material with a better performance at a lower cost and more accessible and more suitable processing. The chemical surface modification of Diatomite (MD) was achieved using a crosslinking system based on a mixture of sulfur, accelerator, and peroxide. The iPP/Diatomite composite was prepared by batch melt mixing in a Brabender Plasti-Corde under intense shearing at high temperatures and varying the Diatomite content from 0 to 15 wt%. The rheological behavior was examined by monitoring the Brabender Plasti-Corde torque/time rheographs. Different techniques were used to characterize the sample: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), WAXS, SEM, and DSC. In addition, tensile strength tests and impact strength mechanical tests were conducted to study the performance. It was found that chemical modification strongly affected rheological behavior and generated a new rheological characteristic compared to the composites without modification. This has induced a new structure form that has improved mechanical properties. Moreover, the chemical modification used and due to its simplicity, can be successfully used on an industrial scale with the appropriate process.
