United Kingdom’s Public Procurement Law after Brexit
Authors:   Korean Administrative Law Association, Kim Dae-in
Published: November 2024

Korea's public procurement legal system is composed of various laws, including 「Act on Contracts in which the State is a Party」, 「Act on Contracts in which the Local Government is a Party」, 「Act on the Government Procurement Program」, 「Act on the Management of Public Institutions」, 「Act on Facilitation of Purchase of Small and Medium Enterprise-manufactured Products and Support for Development of Their Markets」, 「Defense Acquisition Program Act」, and the relationship among them is not systematically established. In order to address this issue, the enactment of the 「Act on Public Procurement (Draft)」 is being discussed.
This article examines the 「Procurement Act of 2023」 in the United Kingdom, which enacted a single statute by integrating various regulations related to public procurement in each field after Brexit, in order to find implications for reforming Korea's public procurement law system. The 「Procurement Act of 2023」 in the UK presents Value For Money as the most important principle of public procurement, and to materialize it, it introduces ‘flexible competitive procedure’ as a new contracting method and ‘most advantageous tender (MAT)’ as a new award criteria. In addition, in order to ensure the effective operation of this flexible contracting system, there are regulations on securing transparency throughout the entire life cycle of the procurement, including the sharing of contract information.
The 「Procurement Act of 2023」 in the UK provides the following implications for the reform of Korea's public procurement legal system. First, it is necessary to find the common principles in each sector procurement, and to legislate it into an Act. Second, it is necessary to establish the principles of public procurement, including value for money and the principle of proportionality. Third, it is necessary to prioritize and implement public procurement across government through a comprehensive public procurement plan, and in particular, to systematize the existing preferential procurement system. Fourth, it is necessary to improve contracting methods and award criteria that can realize value for money, and the collection and utilization of contract-related information is important for the proper operation of these new system.

O DESEMPREGO COMO FENÔMENO DE EXPLORAÇÃO DO TRABALHO E DO TRABALHADOR NA ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA MUNICIPAL
Authors: Suzarte dos Santos Carmelo
Published: November 2024

O desemprego na iniciativa privada, especialmente em municípios com baixo desenvolvimento econômico, tem levado trabalhadores a buscar estabilidade nas carreiras públicas. Essa busca é motivada pela necessidade de segurança trabalhista e benefícios duradouros, frequentemente ausentes no setor privado devido à instabilidade econômica e à modernização tecnológica. Este estudo examina a exploração de servidores públicos, como guardas civis e agentes de trânsito, em 35 municípios de 10 estados, com 53 participantes. Os dados indicam que 67,9% ingressaram no setor público em busca de estabilidade, mas 71,4% não têm renda adicional e apenas 30% recebem acima de três salários mínimos. A força de trabalho é majoritariamente masculina, cisgênera, e composta em grande parte por pessoas pardas (71,7%) e afrodescendentes. Apesar da estabilidade, esses profissionais enfrentam insatisfação com as condições de trabalho e a falta de servidores. Os resultados são relevantes para a formulação de políticas que visem melhorar as condições laborais no setor público. As limitações da pesquisa incluem o tamanho da amostra e a abrangência geográfica, que podem ser ampliadas em estudos futuros.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to identify the correlation between the implementation of the TaRL (Teaching at the Right Level) approach and the improvement of grade I students' basic literacy learning outcomes. Using a quantitative correlational method, the study involved 25 students grouped into four ability levels: Special Intervention, Basic, Proficient and Advanced. The test results showed that 17 students were at the Special Intervention level, 1 student at the Basic level, 7 students at the Advanced level and none at the Proficient level. Meanwhile, to get data on learning outcomes, students were given multiple choice questions to measure their abilities. Data analysis using the Pearson Product Moment test showed a correlation value of 0.812, which is higher than the critical value of 0.396 at the 5% significance level. This indicates a very strong correlation between the application of TaRL and the improvement of basic literacy learning outcomes based on correlation interpretation. Thus, the null hypothesis (H0: no correlation) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H1 : correlation) is accepted. In conclusion, the application of the TaRL approach is positively related to the improvement of students' basic literacy learning outcomes, demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach in literacy learning.

Benkő Elek munkássága az Árpád-kori települések és a temetők régészeti kutatását egyaránt érintette. Kutatásai során nemcsak az egyik, vagy másik kérdéskör kapcsán tett megállapításokat, hanem sok esetben komplex módon foglalkozott a különböző jellegű régészeti jelenségek kérdéseivel. A középkori székelységről írt munkája ösztönzést adott e dolgozat egyik szerzőjének, hogy hasonló jellegű összegzést készítsen az Árpád-kor településrégészetének problémaköréről. Jelen munka e tervezett kézikönyvhöz kapcsolódó előtanulmány. A dolgozat a településrégészet és a funerális régészet dinamikus kapcsolatát kívánja bemutatni egyes kérdések rövid áttekintésével. Abból indultunk ki, hogy a társtudományok képviselői számára számos esetben kevéssé világos, hogy az ásatások nagy többsége egy, vagy csupán néhány egymást követő időszak leletanyagának a megismerésére koncentrál. Egy-egy adott korszakon belül rendszerint nagyobb figyelmet kap az elemzendő problémát – és sokszor magát a korszakot is – reprezentáló jelenségtípus és kevesebbet a további jelenségek.

Sports biomechanical analysis of knee joint injuries in table tennis players
Authors: Li Wenyan , Ren Sikuan
Published: November 2024

Table tennis is a fast-paced, explosive sport that puts a lot of strain and stress on players’ lower limbs, particularly their knee joints. This work built a thorough mathematical model to investigate the dynamic and kinematic properties of the knee joint under various motion situations, with the goal of better understanding the biomechanical behavior of the knee joint in table tennis. A model of knee joint motion that takes into account the two degrees of freedom—flexion, extension, and rotation—is put forth based on the concepts of human biomechanics and kinematics theory. This model uses the Newton Euler equation to explain the mechanical behavior of the knee joint and integrates internal forces like muscle forces and external factors like ground reaction forces for torque balance analysis. This study offers a thorough examination of the force distribution and knee joint trajectory in table tennis using numerical simulation techniques. The findings show that the knee joint undergoes considerable compression and shear forces during intense activity, and that the joint’s stress properties vary significantly depending on the kind of movement. This finding is a valuable resource for table tennis players’ knee joint injury prevention and rehabilitation.

Authors:   Jose Rizal Memorial State University-Katipunan Campus, Sadoy Yvone
Published: November 2024

With the shift to online learning or distance education programs, higher education, in particular, has to focus on ways to cater with the demand of its clientele. Thus, Jose Rizal Memorial State University-Katipunan Campus developed a Digitized Mathematics Module to adapt with the changing landscape of education. However, it is imperative to determine if the module is effective. Thus, the study aimed to determine the acceptability of students towards the digitized Mathematics module and its influence on their motivation and performance of the Mathematics in the Modern World course. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational design, and stratified technique, the study employed one hundred seventy- two (172) students enrolled in Mathematics in the Modern World classes during the first semester of academic year 2020-2021 as respondents of the study. Two sets of questionnaires, adopted from Rio (2014) and Keller (2010), were used as instruments to yield the necessary data for the study. Frequency count, percentage, mean, chi-square, and Somer’s D were the main statistical tools used. Based on the results, the Digitized Mathematics Module is acceptable. The study also revealed that the acceptability of digitized Mathematics module, level of students’ motivation, and students’ Mathematics performance have no significant relationship. As the students accepted the digitized module, they also claimed that they were motivated. Though the module is accepted at a certain level, it is still recommended that the mathematics module needs to be improved so that its acceptability level turns into very acceptable. Instructional Materials and Development Committee (IMDC) may intensify quality assurance in preparing the module to improve its acceptability and motivation levels. The researcher is also proposing to conduct an online seminar workshop serving as an intervention to increase the acceptability of the digitized Mathematics module.

Authors: Brito Andressa Oliveira , Paula Yara Oliveira de , Klug Rufino José , Yamashita Ricardo Kiyoshi
Published: November 2024

Introduction: The keratocyst or keratocyst is an odontogenic tumor characterized as a lesion that affects the maxillary and mandibular regions. It is considered a benign lesion, reaching a prevalence of 3% to 11% among all odontogenic cysts, resulting in major bone loss. It can be asymptomatic and is usually diagnosed through routine radiographs or histopathological findings. Objective: To present a clinical case concerning the diagnosis and surgical treatment of an odontogenic keratocyst in the anterior mandibular region. Clinical case: Male, normosystemic, melanodermic patient. An increase in extraoral volume was observed on the right side of the face in the anterior region of the mandible. Panoramic radiography revealed well-defined, unilocular radiolucent images in the areas of the right lower first premolar, left lower third molar and bilateral upper third molars. On intraoral physical examination, bone bulging was observed in the region of the tooth in question. A computerized tomography scan was then requested, in which extensive expansive bone lesions were detected. Marsupialization and local decompression of the two upper lesions and the lower right lesion were performed, detecting the presence of liquid content. Firstly, an incisional biopsy was carried  out and a decompression drain was installed in the three lesions. The histopathological report was of an odontogenic keratocyst. The decompression device remained in place for 30 days in the lower right lesion and approximately 15 days in the upper lesions, showing a significant reduction in the lesions. The lower right lesion was then enucleated. The 6-month post-operative image showed bone formation with no signs of recurrence. Conclusion: The proposed treatment proved to be effective in treating odontogenic keratocysts, but follow-up imaging is extremely important in view of the possibility of recurrence.

Data was collected by searching for original scientific articles in the Virtual Health Library, PubMed, Scopus and Scientific Electronic Library Online databases. Content analysis and thematic categorization were used to evaluate and present the data. It should be noted that there is a shortage of international and national studies; many are descriptive and few make effective contributions. Therefore, it is necessary to include reflections on health care in the face of physical-emotional weaknesses, contextualized in their disparities and social injustices.

Authors: Marinho Leonardo Hostalácio
Published: November 2024

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma análise comparativa dos procedimentos investigatórios conduzidos pela Polícia Judiciária e pelo Ministério Público no Brasil e na Argentina. A pesquisa busca examinar as atribuições e os limites de atuação de ambas as instituições, considerando as particularidades dos sistemas de justiça criminal de cada país. Para tanto, adota-se uma abordagem analítico-comparativa, fundamentada em uma revisão bibliográfica e na análise das legislações pertinentes de ambos os países. O estudo também considera as diferenças estruturais e processuais dos modelos de investigação criminal em cada contexto. Os resultados apontam para distinções significativas no papel de cada instituição, especialmente em relação à autonomia investigativa e à condução do inquérito, o que reflete variações nas concepções de controle e eficiência da investigação criminal. Conclui-se que as disparidades observadas entre os dois sistemas reforçam a importância de um aprofundamento no debate sobre o papel dessas instituições nas reformas dos processos penais em nível comparado.

RESUMO: O artigo aborda de forma comparativa as medidas mitigadoras adotadas nas usinas hidrelétricas de Jirau e Santo Antônio, localizadas no Rio Madeira, destacando o papel das infraestruturas compensatórias na redução dos impactos ambientais e sociais provocados por esses empreendimentos. A construção das hidrelétricas, que se alinha à crescente demanda nacional por eletricidade, acarretou consequências ambientais significativas, incluindo a fragmentação de habitats aquáticos, o deslocamento de populações ribeirinhas e o aumento de emissões de gases de efeito estufa devido à decomposição de matéria orgânica nos reservatórios. Para mitigar tais impactos, ambos os empreendimentos implementaram programas de compensação que objetivavam o desenvolvimento socioambiental, com iniciativas que abrangem desde saneamento básico, educação e saúde até sistemas de drenagem sustentável e controle da poluição. Além disso, as usinas de Jirau e Santo Antônio promoveram o reassentamento de populações afetadas, como no caso da Vila de Nova Mutum Paraná, uma comunidade com infraestrutura urbana completa. Essas medidas também incluem passagens ecológicas para permitir a migração da fauna aquática e programas de conservação da flora e fauna regionais. Para alcançar os objetivos da pesquisa utilizou-se da metodologia de pesquisa bibliográfica por meio de uma análise qualitativa dos dados. Por fim pode-se compreender por meio da análise comparativa entre as medidas mitigadoras as diferenças na abordagem de cada usina, embora ambas busquem atender aos rigorosos critérios de sustentabilidade exigidos nos processos de licenciamento ambiental. Dessa forma, esses projetos de hidrelétrica não apenas contribuem para a produção de energia limpa, mas também propendem maximizar benefícios sociais e ambientais nas áreas de influência direta.
The Power of Silence: How Taking Pauses Can Enhance Communication, Creativity and Productivity
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: November 2024

This paper explores the cognitive, creative and well-being benefits of incorporating more silence into daily life and work. Drawing from over a decade of consulting experience and a comprehensive review of neuroscientific and psychological literature, the brief makes the case that silence enhances key functions like problem-solving, focus, memory formation and divergent thinking. Studies demonstrate how even brief periods without external stimulation lower stress levels and improve mood. Intermixed periods of silence allow for mental incubation that sparks insight and the "Aha!" moments of creativity. Examples are then provided of how high-performing organizations across industries like IDEO, Atlassian, Ernst & Young and Google have maximized productivity, innovation and collaboration simply by strategically protecting pockets of quiet time. The research synthesis and case examples collectively argue that leadership which champions mindful moments of stillness will see transformative communication quality and long-term success.

Published: November 2024

The access to electronic governmental services is an important element of effective governance, particularly in developing nations such as South Africa, where there are still differences in access and skills to digital technologies. As digital transformation becomes increasingly important for effective governance, it is urgently necessary to develop strategies to ensure that all citizens can access electronic governmental services. This study focused on the development of transformation strategies to enhance access to electronic governmental services in local governments in South Africa. This qualitative research used existing literature and case studies to develop transformation strategies to improve access to digital government services. The paper evaluated how the accessibility of electronic government services affected the responsiveness and effectiveness of the provision of local government services. Moreover, the paper also examined the impact of socio-economic factors on the accessibility of electronic services provided by municipalities in South Africa. This included the assessment of the citizens' perceptions of the use and accessibility of the current electronic government services of the municipalities of South Africa. Finally, although electronic public administration services have great potential to enhance local governance in South Africa, their accessibility depends on a solution to socio-economic imbalances, infrastructure limitations, technological obstacles, and trust issues. The study provided strategies for promoting the access of local government e-government services in South Africa. As a result, the findings of the paper contributed to growing knowledge on e-government tactics to improve service delivery and promote good governance practices in South Africa.

The Promising Connection Between Gut Microbiota and Mental Health: Overview of Kefir in Relation to Mental Health
Authors: Narang Aarav
Published: November 2024

Kefir, along with other fermented foods, have health benefiting traits and properties towards
the gut microbiota. There continues to be much to discover about the microbiota as new research
indicates that it connects with the brain. There have been numerous studies done on kefir’s impact
on mental health showing that kefir could potentially treat mental health symptoms. However, some
studies contradict that claim indicating that kefir does not affect mental health. Anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), stress, among others, were the mental health issues explored in these studies. Presently, there is not enough evidence to make a feasible claim that kefir can improve mental health. However, promising results from kefir are possible as new research indicates that kefir could impact mental health positively.

Arnold Schönbergs 150. Geburtstag im Jahr 2024 setzt den Startpunkt für einen Neubeginn des Journal of the Arnold Schönberg Center, der nicht nur einer zunehmenden Tendenz im Wissenschaftsbetrieb Rechnung trägt, sondern auch konsequente Verwirklichung der internationalen Ausrichtung der Publikation ist. Für zukünftige Sammelbände fiel der Entschluss, auf ein physisches Medium zu verzichten und die Reihe als Open Access-Journal fortzusetzen.
