Published: May 2022

Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan (FPK) dirangka hasil daripada persejarahan masyarakat majmuk di Malaysia yang telah membawa kepada peristiwa rusuhan kaum, yang terbit hasil daripada pelbagai faktor dan antara salah satunya adalah perasaan tidak puas hati terhadap peluang pendidikan antara kaum. Maka, keperluan terhadap perpaduan antara kaum, kestabilan politik, kemajuan ekonomi dan sosial serta pembangunan insan sangat mendesak untuk dicapai. Justeru, pada tahun 1970 kerajaan menubuhkan Rukun Negara bagi mencapai perpaduan antara kaum, mencipta masyarakat yang adil, kemakmuran negara dinikmati bersama, menjamin cara hidup masyarakat yang liberal tradisi dan budaya serta membina masyarakat yang progresif. Sehubungan itu, kesemua matlamat Rukun Negara ini dilandaskan kepada Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan iaitu untuk mengembangkan potensi individu secara menyeluruh dan bersepadu untuk mewujudkan insan yang harmonis dan seimbang dari segi jasmani, emosi, rohani dan intelek (JERI) bagi mencapai matlamat perpaduan yang diterjemahkan melalui kurikulum pendidikan (Sejarah dan Pendidikan Sivik dan Kewarganegaraan). Malahan, nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam FPK ini telah terangkum nilai-nilai kewarganegaraan inklusif (inclusive citizenship) iaitu seperti keadilan, solidariti, perpaduan dan pengiktirafan diri. Oleh demikian, fokus kajian ini adalah untuk melihat sejauh mana nilai-nilai kewarganegaraan inklusif yang terangkum dalam FPK diterjemahkan ke dalam dunia realiti pelaksanaan dasar pendidikan dan bilik darjah bagi mencapai matlamat yang diimpikan oleh FPK. Hasil kajian ini telah mengenalpasti lima faktor yang menjadi punca kelemahan dalam mencapai FPK seperti yang dibincangkan di bawah. Justeru, dengan pengenalpastian faktor-faktor ini membolehkan aktor pembuat dasar melihat dengan lebih jelas jurang di antara idea FPK dengan realiti dunia pelaksanaan dasar dalam mencapai perpaduan bangsa yang diinginkan.

Published: May 2022

Nowadays; Ethiopia is one of the countries which is under developing and one of the strategies to be used to develop the country is to explore and develop the sector of energy in Ethiopia. Our country Ethiopia needs to develop the rural electrification sectors in order to provide illumination to the population living in those rural remote areas for rapid development in different sectors like schools; health centers; business centers and administrative officers. Hence the current energy regime in Ethiopia, that is heavily reliant on the burning of biomass, has had major implications for the environment.
There is a fast depletion of renewable sources that was used in the past for the generation of electricity and the difficulty in reachability of the grid supply to the remote villages was a big challenge faced. The best possible remedial measure in this scenario is to make use of the natural resources available to generate electricity. In an endeavourance towards this end, the paper has been formulated for the electrification of six selected remote Kebeles in Bambasi woreda. This kebeles are  kinds of locality in which there are a tribal settlement of about 600 families each that do not have privilege of electrical energy supply. The present work focus on the feasibility studies carried out at the site for the assessment of mini hydro power plant potential of the site.
The results of the study reveal that there is a huge potential at the site to develop a mini hydro power plant which would meet the energy demand of the tribal settlement and thereby improving their living condition. But the river is intermittent so that it is recommended to construct dam for the purpose of storage of water.

ESTABILIDADE COLOIDAL E CLARIFICANTES USADOS EM CERVEJA: UMA REVISÃO
Authors: Silva Campos Lucas da , Marcondes Rodrigues dos Santos Lígia , Pinheiro Leonardo Furtado
Published: May 2022

A cerveja é um produto que, desde os tempos mais recentes, vem sendo muito apreciado no mundo todo. No Brasil não é diferente, o país tem um dos maiores mercados cervejeiros, com números que anualmente vem subindo exponencialmente. Um dos fatores primordiais para ter uma visibilidade positiva na hora da comercialização é a qualidade da cerveja. A estabilidade coloidal é um dos fatores principais para isso, ou seja, a aparência da cerveja retrata se o produto terá uma boa reputação ou não. Esta estabilidade é influenciada pela turbidez e esta, por sua vez, é causada devido a reações envolvendo proteínas e polifenóis que formam um composto de peso molecular maior tornando-o insolúvel a certas temperaturas. Primeiramente, estes compostos só se tornam insolúveis a temperaturas inferiores a 0°C e acabam se redissolvendo quando a cerveja volta a uma temperatura superior, denominada então de turbidez a frio. Caso esta turbidez permaneça por um período longo, ela acaba se tornando uma turbidez permanente. Existem vários mecanismos para a eliminação destes componentes, sendo mais utilizado os coadjuvantes clarificantes que auxiliam na remoção destes compostos. Com base nisso, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo revisar a utilização de sete tipos de agentes clarificantes, de acordo com fontes recentes estudadas.

Published: May 2022

Palms are beneficial for urban ornamental horticulture, since they symbolize the tropics, but only few are adapted to temperate climates. Our objective was to monitor responses of the leaves to cold reflected by the changes in chlorophyll fluorescence of leaves of Trachycarpus geminisectus, T. nanus, T. takil, T. ukhrulensis, T. wagnerianus species with the use of a chlorophyll fluorometer during the fall of 2018. Our results indicate that there was a gradual decline of maximum quantum efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) represented by Fv/Fm values from the end of September till the end of November 2018. This change corresponds well with the change in air temperature. Some species like T. ukhrulensis seemed to be more sensitive to cold since the rate of decline was the greatest in this species, also in most cases the difference was significant compared to the other species. The smallest decline in Fv/Fm values could be observed in T. wagnerianus. However, the difference compared to the other species was only significant until the middle of October after which it was not significantly better than the other well performing species such as T. takil and T. geminisectus. T. nanus was intermediate in its values, since it had significantly lower values until the beginning of October compared to T. takil and T. geminisectus, but during the remaining measurement period was not significantly different from these species. T. geminisectus seemed to perform on average with the other species. We found that there was a correlation in some cases between the changes in minimum air temperature and that of the maximum quantum efficiency of photosystem II (PSII). The correlation was strongest in T. nanus, T. wagnerianus and T. ukhrulensis. It was weaker in T. geminisectus and none in T. takil.

Kahneman és Tversky az 1980-as évek elején egy elképzelt szituációban (ázsiai betegségen) vizsgálta, hogyan hat a helyzet megfogalmazása a döntésre. Mivel a feltételezett helyzet tükrözi a világjárvány okozta valóságot, ezt a kísérletet ismételte meg a világjárvány idején a COVIDiSTRESS Global kérdőív, mintegy 126 ezer kitöltővel. Későbbiekben ezekre a keretekre (vagyis a választás nyújtotta előnyök vagy azok elvesztése okozta veszteségek kiemelésére) hangoltan készültek vizsgálatok új gyógyszer elfogadásáról is. A cikkben bemutatott kutatás i ezeken alapul. Célunk kettős; a közgazdaságtan alapozó tantárgyak oktatás keretein belül a hallgatók betekintést nyerhettek a viselkedésgazdaságtan alapjaiba, mindezt egy kísérletbe ágyazottan. A kísérletbe több, mint 300 alapképzésen tanuló hallgató csatlakozott be, akiknek a válaszait (hozzájárulásukkal) kielemeztük és az abból kapott eredményeken keresztül mutatjuk be, hogyan hat a keretbe foglalási egy újonnan bevezetésre váró COVID-19 gyógyszer árazására. Az eredményeik alapján egyértelműen igazolható a keretbe foglalás hatása, nemcsak a klasszikus kísérleti helyzetben, hanem a gyógyszeripari termékek egyéni árazásán (fizetési hajlandóságokon) keresztül is megjelenik.

Authors: Koay Yeong Lin , Sim Hong Seng , Goh Yong Kheng , Chua Sing Yee
Published: May 2022

Solving a system of non-linear equations has always been a complex issue whereby various methods were carried out. However, most of the methods used are optimization-based methods. This paper has modified the spectral gradient method with the backtracking line search technique to solve the non-linear systems. The efficiency of the modified spectral gradient method is tested by comparing the number of iterations, the number of function calls, and computational time with some existing methods. As a result, the proposed method shows better performance and gives more stable results than some existing methods. Moreover, it can be useful in solving some non-linear application problems. Therefore, the proposed method can be considered an alternative for solving non-linear systems.

Published: May 2022

Remazol yellow is a synthetic dye that pollutes the environment and causes disease because it is carcinogenic and mutagenic. Photocatalyst is one of the technologies to remove the dye concentration, and tin oxide (SnO2) with cobalt (Co) dopant has the potential to be a good semiconductor in the process. Therefore, this study aims to synthesize SnO2/Co composites as a photocatalyst to degrade Remazol yellow dye. The photodegradation process was carried out with several variables, including the effect of time and the initial concentration of the dye and conditions under pHpzc. Furthermore, the composites were made with SnO to Co mass ratios of (2:1), (2:2), (2:3), and were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX), and Ultraviolet-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) instruments. Based on the results, the SnO2/Co (2:3) composite was selected as a photocatalyst to degrade the dye as the XRD characterization showed the formation of a typical peak of 2θ at 33o. The energy bandgap of SnO2 is 3.05 eV, while the (2:3) composite had a value of 2.8eV. Moreover, the SEM characterization showed a non-uniform surface with pores and elements composition of Sn, O, and Co with the values 61.24, 24.67, and 14.09 wt%, respectively. The optimum condition for photodegradation was obtained at a contact time and concentration of 180 minutes and 10 ppm, respectively, while the removal of the dye reached 65-80%.

Published: May 2022

Obesity and high blood pressure (BP) are well-known cardiovascular disease risk factors. As both risk factors have an impact early in life, and BP is linked to body weight. Both obesity and high BP should be prevented and controlled through early identiÀcation and prevention. The aim of this study was to assess how rope exercise improves BP and body mass index (BMI) in school children. The multi-stage cluster sampling technique was used in a true experimental design. Among 2,581 screened, 239 overweight and pre-hypertensive children were identiÀed using a pre-designed proforma and their demographic variables were collected. A total of 104 and 97 children were assigned to the research and control groups at random. A 6-week rope exercise programme was provided to the study group. Among the screened children, 239 children (9.26%) were overweight and among the overweight children, the prevalence of pre-hypertension was 32 percent. The results showed a signiÀcant reduction in weight and BP (p=0.000) and a positive correlation found between BMI and SBP (p=0.000), though it took longer time to bring the positive changes in dietary habits and DBP. The sex, family type, number of family members, and family history of chronic illness of children were found to have a signiÀcant relationship with BMI and SBP. The study concludes that rope exercise and dietary modiÀcations help to prevent, and also control obesity and hypertension and school health intervention is the need of the hour
The ILO' s Nursing Personnel Convention, 1977: The Need for India to Ratify
Authors: R Sudha  , AS Neya
Published: May 2022

The role of nurses in the healthcare profession is of much prominence, and irreplaceable. Especially, the current pandemic worldwide has shown how the sincerity, hard work and determination of nurses as saviours of health have saved precious lives. However, their hard work is only being appreciated on a virtual sense in social and multi-media and not by ensuring their social security. Despite Supreme Court’s order and concerned committee’s recommendations, the working conditions of nurses in India do not secure their labour rights or address their immediate needs. While this being the case, India has not ratiÀ ed the Nursing Personnel Convention that was passed by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in 1977. The convention which is highly Á exible, and contains provisions that cover on adequate nursing education and training, attractive employment and working conditions, proper remuneration, social security, and much more. India, on ratifying this convention and drafting legislation on the lines of the same can help prevent exploitation of nurses by the private sector and safeguard the labour rights of nurses to a great extent.

Impact of Business and Management Studies on Students’ Intentions to Become an Entrepreneur
Authors: Yasmeen Maria , Shah Saleem , Gohar Madiha
Published: May 2022

Entrepreneurship has been considered a way to enhance economic welfare and to provide employment opportunities. Entrepreneurial studies help in polishing the entrepreneurial skills. However, there is a need to understand which factors affect students’ perceptions of becoming entrepreneurs and the relationship between their entrepreneurial education and their attitudes (or intentions) towards entrepreneurship. Some of the students start their business studies without any intentions of becoming entrepreneurs while others do so to become entrepreneurs. They want to start their own business may be because they have a family business background or because of other intrinsic or extrinsic interests. This paper seeks to contribute towards finding whether obtaining a degree in business education affects students’ attitudes and subjective norms (the perceived social pressure to engage or not to engage in a behavior) about entrepreneurship, and whether these, in turn affect their motivation towards becoming an entrepreneur or not. In doing so, it enhances the understanding of how education can affect students’ attitudes toward entrepreneurship, specifically in Peshawar. This study was carried out by employing a quantitative approach i.e. an OLS regression model. TPB (Theory of Planned Behavior) and EES (Entrepreneurial Event Model) were used to check the intentions and behavior of students towards entrepreneurship. For this purpose, the final year students of BBA (Bachelor in Business Administration) and MBA (Master in Business Administration) are selected at random from Institute of Management Studies (University of Peshawar) and Institute of Management Sciences. The analysis of results showed that there is a positive relationship between entrepreneurial studies and intentions to become an entrepreneur, and that these two variables are more important than the others.2
Variation of Prenatal Ultrasound-Estimated Cephalic Index; A Comparative Study of Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Ethnic Groups in Nigeria
Authors: Ayang Lawrence O. , Abonyi Chibuzo .L
Published: May 2022

Background: Fetal ultrasound-estimated cephalic index refers to the ratio of the fetal biparietal diameter (BPD) to the occipito-frontal diameter (OFD) by means of ultrasound estimation. The cephalic index is regarded as a useful anthropometric variable in medicine, forensic science and anthropology. There is limited data on the cephalic indices of Nigerian fetuses

Objective:  To check for variations of prenatal ultrasound-estimated cephalic indices between fetuses of Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa ancestry.

Methodology: In a cross sectional study carried out in ultrasound diagnostic centres in Lagos, Enugu and Kano, all in Nigeria, fetal biparietal and occipitofrontal diameters were obtained from 200 fetuses each of Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa ethnic groups. The cephalic index was calculated for each group. The values were statistically analysed after deriving the relevant indices.

Result: The fetal cephalic indices for  Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa ethnic groups were observed to be 80 ± 3.4, 79.1 ± 5.1 and 78.4 ± 2.6 %,  respectively.

Conclusion:  The results showed that fetuses of Igbo ancestry had a different cephalic index categorization from other ethnic groups. This knowledge will be useful to sonographers and researchers.
Parentesco cosmológico e morfológica Mbya Guarani
Authors: Góes Paulo Roberto Homem de
Published: May 2022

O presente artigo busca problematizar alguns dos modos pelos quais os Mbya Guarani (Tupi-Guarani) constituem seus territórios de forma ao mesmo tempo tão dispersa geograficamente e tão homogênea linguística e culturalmente. Entre os povos Guarani, são os Mbya aqueles que produzem uma dinâmica intercomunitária mais vigorosa e uma endogamia étnica mais marcada. Neste artigo, busco compreender de que modo essa morfologia se constitui, prescindindo de estratificações políticas no nível interaldeão e, para tanto, mobilizo dados etnográficos, demográficos e genealógicos. Conforme será analisado, a organização social mbya se assenta na vida ritual (uma pedagogia xamânica), a qual está diretamente relacionada à categoria de idade dos tuja, dos velhos. Esse modelo gerontocrático, por sua vez, replica modos de relação estabelecidos nos planos celestes, onde habitam os nhanderukuery, origem e destino mbya.

O artigo descreve a dança e os movimentos no principal ritual dos guarani do Chaco boreal paraguaio: o arete guasu. Por meio de uma descrição detalhada da festa, se analisam os sentidos performativos da dança, dos movimentos e do rito como um todo. Por sentido performativo refere-se a aos efeitos da forma e da estética particular do rito nesse contexto histórico e social. Desse modo, e em diálogo com a antropologia e a etnomusicologia que tratam das artes e rituais dos povos guarani falantes, se pontuam algumas características que definem as especificidades culturais dos guarani chaquenhos.
Por uma Imunidade contra o Banquete Diabólico: reflexões sobre roubo, religião e mineração nos Andes do Norte do Peru
Authors: Paredes Peñafiel Adriana Paola
Published: May 2022

Neste artigo, discuto como, em um contexto de luta por água, os ronderos pentecostais do caserío El Tambo, região de Cajamarca, mobilizaram uma frente de resistência contra as intenções de uma empresa de mineração que assumiu o direito de destruir as fontes de água naturais tão importantes para os moradores locais. A proposta dessa empresa era criar reservatórios como compensação. A guerra contra o mal (a mineração) estende, com diferenças, a noção de roubo que aparece nos relatos da organização autogestionária contra o abigeato (roubo de gado) a partir de 1970 e nas reflexões sobre as citações bíblicas. O texto se fundamenta em uma pesquisa de campo em El Tambo, distrito de Bambamarca, província de Hualgayoc, em Cajamarca, Norte andino peruano. Mostro que a conversão potencializa a percepção das pessoas para reconhecer aquele que rouba e evita o fim desta humanidade que se alimenta das batatas nutridas por Mamacocha (Mãe Lagoa).
Etnografia e tempo nos estudos educacionais
Authors: Couceiro Luiz Alberto Alves , Rosistolato Rodrigo
Published: May 2022

O debate sobre etnografia em estudos educacionais no Brasil é bifurcado. Há uma argumentação preponderante, principalmente no campo educacional, sobre a impossibilidade de realização de estudos etnográficos em educação. Haveria, nessa linha argumentativa, apenas estudos do “tipo etnográfico” ou de “inspiração etnográfica”. Em oposição, há estudos etnográficos sobre escolas e sistemas educacionais, que argumentam em via diametralmente oposta, não apenas justificando a legitimidade dos estudos etnográficos em educação, mas principalmente realizando-os. Nesse embate, um conceito ganha o cenário e induz um conjunto de discussões em ambas as vias da bifurcação. Trata-se do tempo. Apresentaremos as perspectivas de ambas as correntes analíticas sobre o tempo nos estudos etnográficos, e argumentaremos que o tempo extrapola seus elementos cronológicos quando pensado em uma etnografia, o que necessariamente torna a justificativa da falta de tempo para a realização de etnografias em estudos educacionais um falso dilema.

Published: May 2022

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar os resultados da privatização da distribuição de energia no Brasil pela ótica do consumidor residencial, através da análise dos indicadores: DEC, FEC, DER, FER e INS, comparados com o IASC (Índice ANEEL de Satisfação ao Consumidor), da Ouvidoria da ANEEL com o SINDEC (Sistema Nacional de Informações de Defesa do Consumidor - Procon), com os sites Consumidor.gov.br e Reclame Aqui. A metodologia foi bibliográfica, partindo da revisão da literatura, e, documental, através de triangulação dos dados com os documentos disponíveis em diversas fontes, tais como os sites: ANEEL, Reclame Aqui, Consumidor.gov.br e Sindec, comparando com dados dos sites de reclamação. Os resultados indicam saldo positivo da privatização da distribuição de energia elétrica, mas apontam falhas, como em alguns anos pontualmente o DEC e FEC sofrem oscilações e o ranking de empresas demonstra que as recém-privatizadas possuem performance superior às privatizadas a mais tempo.
Motivadores de uso do Ride-hailing no Brasil
Authors: Violin Fábio Luciano
Published: May 2022

Objetivou-se desvelar os motivadores de uso dos serviços de ride-hailing no Brasil a partir de análises fatoriais exploratória e confirmatória com amostra de 2950 usuários. Evidenciou-se seis variáveis indutoras de uso com apelo utilitarista de consumo impactados robustamente pelos facilitadores tecnológicos. Os resultados corroboram com parte substancial de pesquisas que apontam elementos de ordem econômica, socioeconômica e tecnológica como motivadores de consumo, e refuta resultados indicativos de aspectos de natureza puramente social e/ou ambiental ao sinalizar que os facilitadores de acesso, consumo pautado em custo e interesses pessoais sobrepostos aos coletivos subjazem ao processo decisório do consumidor. O estudo figura como o mais amplo levantamento realizado no país até o momento e desvela as dimensões e variáveis que impactam, do ponto de vista dos usuários, a estruturação relacionada a oferta, representando avanço ao propor modelo permissivo de inferências a respeito das razões de uso do serviço, com amplitude nacional.

Gestão Societal no Orçamento Público do Estado de Minas Gerais: estudo de caso da Secretaria de Estado de Educação
Authors: Oliveira Isaac Antônio de , Amaral Juliana Cardoso do , Fonseca Renata Kelly Alves , Assis Lilian Bambirra de , Ribeiro Lívia Maria de Pádua
Published: May 2022

Com as mudanças nos modelos econômicos e as reformas administrativas implementadas no Estado ao longo das últimas décadas, os instrumentos de gestão também foram adaptados. Este trabalho direciona o foco para duas das principais abordagens – o gerencialismo, com foco em resultados e na redução de gastos públicos (PAES DE PAULA, 2010), e a societal, que estimula a descentralização e a participação dos cidadãos na elaboração e na execução das políticas públicas (PAES DE PAULA, 2005). O artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma análise da execução orçamentária da Secretaria de Estado de Educação de Minas Gerais no período 2014-2018, a fim de identificar aspectos que remetem ao modelo de gestão societal, proposto por Paes de Paula (2005). A metodologia de pesquisa baseou-se na análise de conteúdo e na comparação quantitativa entre os valores previstos e executados nos Relatórios Institucionais de Monitoramento (RIM) do período. Verificou-se que os aspectos da gestão societal, como proposta por Paes de Paula (2005), podem ser observados nas dotações que, a partir de seus enunciados, propõem a destinação de recursos no sentido de promover a participação da sociedade nas políticas públicas, de forma a terem interação e protagonismo na efetivação dessas medidas, bem como indicam o atendimento das especificidades dos beneficiários e o caráter sociopolítico. Entretanto, evidencia-se que a abertura para a participação social ainda necessita caminhar e que a execução orçamentária das ações identificadas com societais fica comprometida pelo cenário de crise fiscal, independente da orientação do governo em exercício.
