Authors: Rey Jeanne , Balslev Kristine , Hascoët Marine , Charmillot Samuel , Melfi Giuseppe , Vanini De Carlo Katja , Voirol-Rubido Isabel , Waroux Elisabeth
Published: October 2022

Cet article interroge l’effet de la pandémie sur la phase de transition entre la fin des études et l’entrée dans la profession. Pour aborder ce sujet, nous analysons les résultats d’une large enquête sur l’insertion professionnelle conduite annuellement auprès des nouveaux diplômé·es à l’enseignement de Suisse romande et du Tessin. Nous mettons en évidence les effets de ce contexte inédit sur trois moments-clés de l’insertion : la formation initiale, la recherche d’emploi et le vécu professionnel en début de carrière. L’analyse montre une forte hétérogénéité des perceptions quant à l’impact de la situation sanitaire sur la formation. En ce qui concerne la recherche d’emploi, l’impact de la pandémie est considéré comme minime. En revanche, le vécu professionnel des nouveaux/elles diplômé·es a été impacté négativement pour une majorité d’entre eux/elles. Cet article met en lumière les défis que soulèvent la transition vers la profession dans un temps où les pratiques sont bouleversées.
Jointly tackling the climate crisis and social issues
Authors: Metayer Solène , Postic Sébastien , Kessler Louise
Published: October 2022

Climate change and social issues have multiple two-way interactions, yet they are often addressed separately in public policy-making processes. We present here an analysis grid developed to facilitate the identification of climate and social hotspots in a national budget. Building on Climate Budget Tagging exercises, this tool aims to help governments easily review their entire budget to bring out budgetary measures that have both climate and social impacts. We applied the analysis grid to the French finance bill for 2021, highlighting that 83% of climate-related budgetary expenditures also have social impacts.
Les certificats de sobriété numérique comme instrument de régulation de la pollution numérique
Authors: Nicolaï Jean-Philippe , Peragin Lise
Published: October 2022

L’objectif de cet article est d’étudier la pollution numérique et de s’interroger sur la possibilité d’instaurer des certificats de sobriété numérique qui auraient pour vocation de promouvoir des investissements ou des changements de pratiques en matière de sobriété numérique. Ce projet s’inspire du concept des certificats d’économie d’énergie qui ont été mis en place dans plusieurs pays européens. Le principe serait de mettre en oeuvre des obligations portant sur certains acteurs du numérique afin de réaliser des investissements en sobriété numérique.

The fluorine in surface waters: origin, weight on human health, and defluoridation techniques
Authors: Serra Matteo , Fanari Fabio , Desogus Francesco , Valera Paolo
Published: October 2022

In order to understand the distribution of fluorine in surface environments, also linked to fluoride deposits, this paper discusses the role of rift systems in fluorine enrichment of surface waters, with two examples: the Sardinia Island and the East African Rift. The main goal of this study is aimed to highlighting the areas that could potentially host fluorine in the surface waters in order to make it easier the lecture also for people to search and read not experts in the field, such as the biomedical field. Furthermore, potentialities and limitations of the currently available defluoridation techniques were examined, in order to identify the best intervention technology.

From a careful review of the literature, to the addition of the extensive field observations in Sardinia and Ethiopia carried by the authors in the previous decades, we highlight the origin, processes and evolution of F-migration in Rift systems.

The given examples of Sardinia and Ethiopia show that the origin and consequent behaviour of fluorine is strictly controlled by the rift systems. In this framework, the availability of fluorine for surface waters depends on two possible types of sources: a direct supply and an indirect supply. Directly from spring waters and ground waters fed by hydrothermal systems related to rifting, and indirectly from the leaching of products of rift-related activities, such as fluorite-bearing deposits, sedimentary or meta-sedimentary rift-related sequences, and volcanic or metavolcanic complexes emplaced along rift structures. The whole geological history of a given area must be taken into account in interpreting its present fluorine geochemistry.

In conclusion, we underline the aspects of a possible control of these areas where fluoride exposure might lead to a long-term harm to local communities and we point out the nowadays best remediation-technologies, discussing their pro and cons in their applicability to different scales and social-contexts.
New delay-range-dependent exponential stability criterion and $ H_\infty $ performance for neutral-type nonlinear system with mixed time-varying delays
Authors: Meesuptong Boonyachat , Singkibud Peerapongpat , Srisilp Pantiwa , Mukdasai Kanit
Published: October 2022

For a neutral system with mixed discrete, neutral and distributed interval time-varying delays and nonlinear uncertainties, the problem of exponential stability is investigated in this paper based on the $ H_\infty $ performance condition. The uncertainties are nonlinear time-varying parameter perturbations. By introducing a decomposition matrix technique, using Jensen's integral inequality, Peng-Park's integral inequality, Leibniz-Newton formula and Wirtinger-based integral inequality, utilization of a zero equation and the appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, new delay-range-dependent sufficient conditions for the $ H_\infty $ performance with exponential stability of the system are presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Moreover, we present numerical examples that demonstrate exponential stability of the neutral system with mixed time-varying delays, and nonlinear uncertainties to show the advantages of our method.
CYBERSICKNESS AND EVALUATION OF A REMEDIATION SYSTEM: A PILOT STUDY
Authors: Andre L , Coutellier R
Published: October 2022

Many questions arise regarding the use of virtual reality (VR) in the naval military field. This is particularly the case from a human factors’ perspective, where system’s usability is supposed to guarantee user’s performance. Cybersickness, resulting from a sensory conflict between visual and vestibular systems, is one of the major limitations to the development of VR. Cybersickness can lead to nausea, oculomotor discomfort and disorientation. The major aim of the current study was to evaluate the efficiency of a remediation system for cybersickness. This system is designed to help remove the sensory conflict, thanks to miniature LED screens placed in the head mounted display (HMD). 18
subjects were confronted with a dynamic environment in VR, equipped with HMDs. Different physiological variables were measured during immersion. Every subject showed effects of cybersickness, starting, on average, after eight minutes of exposure, even if the system may reduce symptoms under certain conditions.
TOWARDS AN ECOSYSTEM OF SKILLS IN THE FUTURE MARITIME INDUSTRY
Authors: Hynnekleiv A , Lutzhoft M , Earthy J V
Published: October 2022

This research is part of the Human Autonomy Enable (HUMANE) project, addressing human factors in autonomous shipping. The maritime industry is facing a technological evolution that will restructure existing sociotechnical systems. In this highly automated future the role of the human is still unclear. What skills or qualities are needed to interact with advanced technology, both on board and ashore? To explore this issue, and unpack the views of the maritime cluster, we use expert workshops organised in focus group style. The first two workshops invited stakeholders specialising in system safety, cybersecurity and law. Over and above these themes, the discussions also produced a large set of data regarding skills. These data were analysed and used as input values for a third workshop, with maritime education and training experts. This allowed validation of the previously collected data, and a further operationalisation and expansion of the concepts. This paper presents seven sets of skills considered by experts as the most important to make the future sociotechnical systems ‘work’.

El símbol de la rosa en l’obra poètica de Josep Palau i Fabre: evolució i contrastos
Authors: Roura Anna Perera
Published: October 2022

L’article analyse le traitement et l’évolution du symbole de la rose dans la poésie de Josep Palau i Fabre. La rose est un élément fondamental du symbolisme de la culture occidentale et possède une longue tradition littéraire. Cependant, dans la poésie de Palau i Fabre, la rose est un symbole qui prend différentes significations, qui se transforment au fil du temps. Ainsi, sur la base de l’analyse de l’évolution de la rose dans sa poésie, nous pouvons confirmer que cet élément représente également l’évolution esthétique de Palau i Fabre : une révolte poétique dans la tradition littéraire catalane.
El teatre en francès de Josep Palau i Fabre
Authors: Coca Jordi
Published: October 2022

Le théâtre de Josep Palau i Fabre ne se résume pas aux pièces publiées dans les deux volumes des œuvres complètes. Mon ouvrage Josep Palau i Fabre. Alquímia i revolta (1935-1958) montre qu’il y a encore de nombreuses pièces inédites. Parmi celles-ci, certaines ont été écrites en français de 1948 à 1950. Seule Le dialogue ou la mort du théâtre, de 1948, a été publiée à compte d’auteur à Paris en 1950. C’était une pratique commune chez lui, lorsqu’il considérait qu’un texte était significatif. Cette pièce, tout comme les autres écrites en français, annoncent le théâtre de l’absurde. On y décèle aussi l’influence de Pirandello. Malgré cela, à partir de 1951 le théâtre de Palau évolue vers d’autres directions.
« La càmera és un ull que mira. » Josep Palau i Fabre et le cinéma
Authors: Ramos Alquezar Sergi
Published: October 2022

L’œuvre de Josep Palau i Fabre gravite indiscutablement autour de la littérature – poésie, théâtre, essai – et de la peinture de Picasso. Cependant, l’écrivain catalan a entretenu un rapport avec le cinéma tout au long de sa carrière, organisant des projections, en y travaillant comme figurant, en menant une réflexion théorique sur le septième art et en particulier en élaborant un certain nombre de projets de films dont la plupart n’ont jamais vu le jour. Dans cet article, nous tenterons de faire le point sur les différentes incursions de Palau dans le domaine du cinéma.
Poemes de l’Alquimista : le moi entre poésie et poétique
Authors: Zimmermann Marie-Claire
Published: October 2022

L’article propose une analyse de la poétique de Josep Palau i Fabre dans son recueil Poemes de l’Alquimista. Celle-ci a trait à sa voix, mais celle-ci est intrinsèquement liée à d’autres voix et poétiques : celles de Charles Baudelaire et d’Arthur Rimbaud sont ici présentes à travers les traductions et réécritures de Palau.
Les nits incendiades. Alquímia i representació en la poesia de Palau i Fabre
Authors: Álvarez Riosalido Sergi
Published: October 2022

Il est toujours nécessaire de questionner ce dont la nature nous paraît impossible à comprendre. Josep Palau i Fabre a justifié une tradition habitée par la folie, à l’image de la tradition alchimique, afin de retrouver une grandeur semblable celle de l’humanité, comme il l’a souligné dans le prologue de Poèmes de l’Alchimiste. L’alchimie évoquerait une réalité éloignée d’un jugement qui détermine les choses dans le monde de manière claire et distincte. Ainsi, la responsabilité du poète, de l’écrivan qui prend la langue en charge, serait de revendiquer cet héritage dépassant la réalité quotidienne, immédiate.
Les conditions d’émergence d’une conscience bi/plurilinguistique
Authors: Lagarde Christian
Published: October 2022

En-deçà de la planification, la question de la conscience linguistique est centrale en sociolinguistique, quel que soit le nombre de langues parlées ou écrites par un individu. On envisagera comment s’éveille cette conscience linguistique chez le sujet, aux plans intra- et interlinguistique. La perspective sera par la suite élargie selon une typologie sommaire en fonction des langues en contact, des environnements et des idéologies linguistiques. Enfin, passant du locuteur au scripteur, on analysera les formes de la « surconscience linguistique » qui le caractérise en tant qu’écrivain, traducteur ou autotraducteur.
Poéticas anfibias. Bilingüismo y autotraducción en cinco poetas contemporáneos de expresión italiana, catalana, castellana y gallega
Authors: Martínez Pérsico Marisa
Published: October 2022

À travers la méthodologie de l'étude de cas, cet article analyse quelques-unes des modalités que le bilinguisme endogène ou exogène acquiert. Je présente quelques biographies linguistiques de poètes des communautés historiques d'Espagne, ainsi que d’Italie et d’Amérique latine, interrogés pour cette recherche : Fabio Morábito (Italie-Mexique), Gigliola Zecchin (Italie-Argentine), Yolanda Castaño (Espagne : Galice), Josep Maria Rodríguez (Espagne : Catalogne) et Vanna Andreini (Italie-Argentine). Nous incluons également les commentaires ou déclarations des Catalans Joan Margarit et Mireia Vidal-Conte et des Argentins Sylvia Molloy et Adrián Bravi. L’étude est complétée par quelques réflexions sur l'autotraduction verticale et horizontale, le rôle de la scolarisation dans la compétence bilingue et l'impact du contact linguistique sur l’idiolecte poétique (changement de code, emprunts, calques, allusions ou citations intertextuelles), ainsi que l’invention de métaphores somatiques pour décrire le propre bilinguisme.
Le catalan comme langue étrangère dans l’enseignement supérieur en France : des bonnes racines et une excellente santé mais, quel avenir ?
Authors: Vidal Arráez Josep
Published: October 2022

Notre contribution propose, dans un premier lieu, une synthèse sur l’histoire de l’enseignement du catalan dans l’éducation supérieure en France. Deuxièmement, elle dresse un état des lieux de l’offre de formation universitaire actuelle et du corps enseignant qui la soutient. Enfin, elle envisage un possible futur de ces études, après avoir fait émerger certaines contradictions, problèmes et défis qui se présentent face à l’avenir de cet enseignement. À ce jour, nous comptons seulement trois bilans sur la question (Trenc, 2007 ; Berthelot, 2010 et Corrons, 2011), bien que de nombreux changements soient survenus dans cette discipline. Ainsi, dix ans après le dernier bilan, un nouvel état des lieux s’impose. Nous rappelons que l’enseignement du catalan appartient à deux sections du Conseil National des Universités (14e et 73e sections) ; notre article se penche particulièrement sur la 14e section : Langues et littératures romanes.
Lisbonne, Tolède, Madrid
Authors: Peloille Manuelle
Published: October 2022

Le livre d’Ernesto Giménez Caballero, Amor a Portugal, retrace la visite d’État de Franco d’octobre 1949. Dans un texte qui fait sienne la propagande officielle, l’auteur y recycle la thèse des penseurs traditionalistes portugais Oliveira Martins et Sardinha consistant à défendre le modèle luso-espagnol de colonisation face au néo-colonialisme anglo-saxon. Au cours des années 1890-1920, l’Espagne et le Portugal durent reconsidérer leur place dans le monde impérialiste. En 1949, c’est le début de la Guerre froide qui oblige les deux pays à une redéfinition, sans abandonner leur ligne générale d’alliance atlantique péninsulaire.
La presencia portuguesa en Revista de las Españas (1926-1936)
Authors: Sáez Delgado Antonio
Published: October 2022

La Revista de las Españas (1926-1936), publiée à Madrid par l’Union Ibéro-Américaine, a été jusqu’à présent une publication pratiquement oubliée dans le domaine des relations littéraires et culturelles entre le Portugal et l’Espagne. Cependant, la présence de collaborations portugaises est notable, et leur projection est parallèle à celles de La Gaceta Literaria avec laquelle elle partage les idéaux ibéro-américanistes. Dans ce contexte, la présence de l’écrivain Ernesto Giménez Caballero est fondamentale dans les deux projets, puisqu’en plus de diriger La Gaceta Literaria, il a coordonné la section « Revista Literaria Ibérica » dans Revista de las Españas. L’importance de la présence portugaise dans la Revista de las Españas est attestée par la publication de quatre dessins de José de Almada Negreiros jusqu’ici inconnus, ainsi que par de nombreux articles sur la littérature portugaise d’auteurs tels que Fidelino de Figueiredo et Augusto d’Esaguy. Cependant, la dérive idéologique de Giménez Caballero vers le fascisme a fini par perturber les relations ibériques établies dans les deux revues, lors de sa tentative de localiser le centre névralgique des cultures ibériques à Madrid.
Tots els camins duen a Barcelona?
Authors: Martínez Fiol David , Pich Mitjana Josep
Published: October 2022

Cet article explique comment, entre le dernier tiers du 19e siècle et le premier du 20e, Barcelone a agi comme une capitale politique et économique alternative à Madrid. Sa force, en tant que centre culturel et industriel, l’a catapultée comme la capitale visible des secteurs marginalisés du monde politique et économique de la Restauration alphonsine mettant en avant les régionalistes et les industriels protectionnistes. D’autre part, c’était aussi le pôle d’attraction des marginalisés : les ouvriers de gauche et d’ultra-gauche, brisant le mythe de la Rose de Feu et de la Cité des Bombes, épicentre révolutionnaire en 1909, 1917, 1919-1923 et 1931-1939. Enfin, l’offre publique d’emplois parrainée par les catalanistes via la Mancomunitat et la Generalitat, était une prétention séduisante pour que Barcelone soit un point de rencontre pour les bohèmes, les intellectuels et les professionnels et en fasse un Paris du Sud.
Albert Savine i la poesia catalana de la Renaixença
Authors: Quer Pere
Published: October 2022

Albert Savine a été une figure clé du passage du xixe au xxe siècle pour les relations des écrivains catalans en France. Par ses différentes facettes de critique, de traducteur et d'éditeur, qu'il a exercées tout au long de sa vie, il a fait connaître la littérature catalane en France et son activité, considérée dans son ensemble, est un exemple important de transfert culturel. L'article passe en revue la figure d’Albert Savine en tant que critique, traducteur et éditeur de la littérature catalane. Enfin, on analyse la réception de l’étude sur la renaissance de la poésie catalane, publiée par Savine dans la préface de sa traduction française en prose de L'Atlàntida de Jacint Verdaguer (1884).
Federalisme i/o catalanisme
Authors: Pich Mitjana Josep
Published: October 2022

Après la Guerre de Succession, à partir de 1714, l’Espagne a été caractérisée par son système politiquement centralisé et pour promouvoir l’uniformité culturelle, autant pendant la monarchie absolutiste et plus tard, avec la mise en place du libéralisme. En Catalogne, cependant, il y avait une opposition généralisée au centralisme. Cet article explique comment une tendance du fédéralisme catalan était liée à la naissance de la politisation du catalanisme et à son évolution jusqu’à sa transformation en un mouvement explicitement indépendantiste, suite à la condamnation de la Cour Constitutionnelle du 28 juin 2010, qui a considérablement modifié le Statut d’Autonomie de 2006.

Industries in recent days has been facing several issues including a dearth of labor, moribund joblessness rates, and towering labor turnover. This is projected to increase further in the upcoming days with the rise of the aged population. All these challenges can be addressed by the technology called industry automation. But there is an acuity that industrial automation will lead to job losses. However, in ingenious automation technology, lots of positive outputs can be achieved such as higher productivity and enhancement in yield. The role of automation in health and safety is awesome, but the brunt of this technology on jobs and efficiency worldwide has not been studied fully. In addition, automation technology safeguards the workers from highly dangerous work zones such as mines, space research, and underwater research. Thus, industrial automation is ready to serve humankind and business in various ways. This has been explained in this chapter.

Authors: Sharma Shanu , Kapoor Tushar Chand , Kakkar Misha , Kumar Rishi
Published: October 2022

In this chapter, an optimized parking framework, AUTOHAUS, is presented that focuses on three aspects (i.e., automation, security, and efficient management of parking space). A combination of advanced technologies is used to design the proposed framework. AUTOHAUS provides two ways of security implementation such as authorized QR codes and OTPs (one-time passwords). Furthermore, for efficient management of parking spaces, the still images of the front and side view of the car are used to extract the license plate and size of the car for effective allotment of parking space based on the size of the car. This proposed system can reduce human effort to a great extent and can also be used as a path-breaking technique in parking and storage management.

The Smart bin presented in this chapter is GPS-enabled and comprises sensors and a camera. A prototype for the proposed model is analysed, and network architecture is designed to communicate the critical information. The proposed system will update the status and condition of the bin to the nearest authority to improve the city's pollution and cleanliness. The prototype is deployed using a microcontroller Raspberry Pi and Google Maps to obtain the bins' real-time location. IoT fill-level sensors will help the garbage carrying truck in identify the nearest empty container without wasting time and resources. Google Maps will help in sensing the optimised routes to the drivers. The microcontroller will be used to integrate the different devices and cameras to provide real-time bin collection, overflowing/under flowing state and tracking information, and suggestions and notifications for effective disposal.
Implementing Self-Efficacy Through a Strengths Perspective Approach
Authors: Jackson Nikkita , Harris Karleah , Trauth Jonathan
Published: October 2022

This chapter aims to provide insights on using the strengths perspective approach to increase self-efficacy and motivation to improve the retention and success of diverse student populations. It will also cover retention and success regarding diverse student populations through the lens of a trauma-informed care approach. It is important to consider the unique challenges that come with the students as they enter the school while learning to be both independent and self-supporting for the first time in their lives. Suppose a student has the challenge of an adverse childhood experience. In that case, it is important for the practitioner to consider this when advising and counseling a student who has come to them with their unique circumstance. Using the strengths approach and positive psychology will be essential to succeed with a student of this background.

Authors: Ridgeway Laventrice S.
Published: October 2022

This research explored the perception of self-efficacy in transfer students with disabilities (SWDs) after an individualized, one-on-one orientation with the Office of Student Disability Services at Port City University. Using a phenomenological approach and purposeful sampling, the study obtained data through semi-structured interviews with transfer SWD registered with the Office of Student Disability Services. This study utilized seven participants' responses concerning their experience with the individualized orientation as related to their perception of self-efficacy. Data were analyzed using an interpretative phenomenological analysis. Interview transcripts were then reduced into themes that highlighted the individualized orientation essence. The findings from the research showed that the factors related to the individualized orientation with the most influence on participants' self-efficacy were preparation for success and support of accommodations. The findings, considerations for future research, and limitations were discussed.
Understanding Mentoring in Higher Education
Authors: Dunn Ben , Herron Jeffrey
Published: October 2022

There is no rapid formula for student success in higher education. Understanding student development theories and leading contributions to student success can be helpful in creating a success plan for students of all demographics. Research indicates that mentoring can significantly increase student retention and their ability to develop as a person and as a student. Mentoring programs can also be focused on specific demographics of students, such as race or ethnicity. Other mentoring programs are designed around different student populations, such as first-generation students, by classification, or separated by majors. Due to the diversity of mentoring programs, a mentor can come from multiple roles within the institution, including counselor, therapist, academic advisor, dean of students, professor, financial aid counselor, or success coach. Essentially anyone at the institution could be a mentor.
The Role of Self-Efficacy in Fostering a Sense of Belonging in Computing Education
Authors: Poitras Eric , Sampangi Raghav , Crane Brent Glen Charles
Published: October 2022

This chapter outlines a conceptual framework for the relationship between student self-efficacy and sense of belonging in computing education. The proposed framework assumes the relationship as bi-directional given feedback loops mediated by student affective and emotional experiences as well as their beliefs, goals, and motivations. The effects of both dimensions are examined in terms of academic achievement outcomes, interest, and retention, while confounding factors include the mediating roles of the nature and outcomes of learning activities, social support, and individual differences. The authors substantiate these claims based on the review of the learning literature, identify gaps where more work is needed, and raise a significant methodological issue in the current body of literature. Based on the review, they derive recommendations for instructors to create a supportive classroom environment and for investigators to conduct novel research.
The Role of Consumer Impulsivity and Self-Efficacy on User Manual Behavior
Authors: Kutlu Mustafa Bilgehan
Published: October 2022

User manuals are one of the neglected topics in the marketing field. This study aims to investigate the roles of consumer impulsivity and self-efficacy on user manual behavior. In order to reach the research objectives, a cross-sectional research design is adopted. A judgmental sample (n=1160) of Turkish customers is surveyed online. The study's findings provide evidence that consumer impulsivity might negatively influence user manual behavior. On the other hand, user manual self-efficacy is positively associated with user manual behavior. Consumer general self-efficacy is shown to have no direct influence on user manual behavior. User manual self-efficacy fully mediates the relationship between general self-efficacy and user manual behavior. Results of the study also indicate that females tend to consult user manuals more than males. This study also provides general consumer perception regarding user manuals and the importance of user manual features for customer satisfaction.
An Overview of the Big Data Technology for Computer-Assisted Learning
Authors: R. Sivaranjani
Published: October 2022

Education has gradually gotten rid of old teaching methods and their limits as society has progressed under the impact of high technology such as big data, cloud computing, network technology, and mobile Internet. This study uses data mining technology to implement educational reforms, creates a computer-aided learning system (CAL) based on data mining, and creates teaching system functions based on real-world data with big data techniques. Many strategies for data analysis are available through data mining. Without the use of automated analytic techniques, the big data now in student databases exceeds the human ability to examine and extract the most important information. Data analytics for CAL will be helpful in evaluating teaching and learning processes, and measures will be taken based on the findings to improve the process.
IoT-Based Solar Charged Wireless Vehicle Parking Network
Authors: R. Dhaya
Published: October 2022

Vehicle parking and vehicle parking place have become inevitable things for the present situation and it contributes to traffic congestion in an indirect manner. The proposed work aims to solve the problem of effectively utilizing the available parking space through an IoT-based parking network during peak hours as well as to charge the system with solar energy as a renewable to ensure reliability in terms of saving time, space, and energy. Because IoT can convey information via the network without encompassing human contacts in the cloud and also permits a user to use affordable wireless technology. the innovative idea of this proposed vehicle parking network is of using solar as renewable energy to charge the sensors in the network. Hence, it is proposed to use the Infrared sensor to be positioned alongside the parking space ESP module. IR sensors will update the current state of available parking spaces for ESP uses light energy observed by the sensors will be used to charge the network. The outcome will benefit the users to manage the parking space effectively and efficiently.

Published: October 2022

The Spanish wine industry is a world leader in terms of wine exports by volume and third in terms of the value of these exports, behind only France and Italy. Spanish wine is therefore present in the world's main wine consuming markets, contributing to the maintenance and even improvement of the Spain brand on an international scale. Through a descriptive analysis carried out with secondary sources of information, this research aims to analyze wine trade flows as well as the degree of concentration of these flows in order to determine the degree of equality or inequality among Spanish wine exporters. The results show that for the last decade Spain has had a surplus in the wine trade balance of more than 2,000 million euros per year, and more than 80% of the wineries export on a regular basis, with a high concentration of large wineries.

Authors: Marjanović Darko , Domazet Ivana
Published: October 2022

The outbreak of global health and, consequently, the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted five years of positive economic trends in Serbia. To preserve economic stability, the government of Serbia took appropriate measures and provided support to micro, small, and medium enterprises. The chapter aims to evaluate the packages of economic measures introduced to reduce the negative consequences caused by the pandemic. The research covers the period from 2015 to 2022 (i.e., before and during the crisis and after the adopted economic measures). The analysis is based on officially adopted economic measures with a combination of macroeconomic statistical data and forecasts from the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Serbia and the Fiscal Council of the Republic of Serbia. The results of the research indicate that the crisis caused by the COVID-19 virus did not cause a significant drop in economic activity in the Republic of Serbia, primarily due to the extensive package of aid to the economy, which amounted to 12.5% of GDP.
Impacts on Economic Foundations During Globalization
Authors: Roy Debasish

After three decades of disintegration of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and former socialist nations from the Eastern Bloc, the burning issue related to apparent success or failure of globalization and economic transition still persists. This chapter is aimed at formulation of Index of Economic Foundation (IEF) that would help to assess the impact of globalization on a country and how far it has been successful in adapting the model of market economy. In order to serve the purpose, a time series study has been conducted on 10 sample countries spread across Central and Eastern Europe and the independent nation-states that evolved from the disintegration of erstwhile USSR for the time period of 20 years (1996 – 2015) (Base Year = 1995: IEF = 100). The final estimations based on the estimated Present Values (PV) of IEFs' discounted by the values of Gini Coefficient (GIC) on a year-to-year basis for all the sample countries yielded interesting results and findings. The issues of deglobalization and reglobalization were also discussed in reference to year 2020.
Studying dilemmas of mathematics teaching in Southern Africa
Authors: Gobede Fraser , Mosvold Reidar
Published: October 2022

Background: Learners in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa are underperforming in important subjects such as mathematics, and research in these contexts tends to focus on the lack of resources, insufficient teacher knowledge or poor quality in teaching as explanatory factors. This study has taken a different approach.Aim: The study aimed at exploring how analysis of dilemmas that teachers encounter in the work of teaching mathematics may provide a productive approach to studying mathematics teaching in the African context.Setting: The study was conducted in a rural Malawian Grade 1 classroom, where a teacher was teaching arithmetical notation to young learners.Methods: A case study approach was applied, and data were gathered through video observations and interviews. Inductive analysis of observation data was applied to identify and unpack dilemmas of mathematics teaching.Results: Two inherent dilemmas of the complex work of teaching mathematics have been identified and discussed. One dilemma was to decide when and how to present arithmetical notations in different modalities without losing the mathematical meaning. A second dilemma was to decide how to deal with unexpected learner errors while maintaining the planned focus of the lesson.Conclusion: Considering dilemmas of teaching shifts the emphasis from evaluating the teacher to understanding and developing shared understanding of teaching as professional practice.Contribution: The suggested shift in focus acknowledges the challenges of the local context without reverting to deficit views, and it contributes to developing a shared professional language.

Comparison of phenylephrine and norepinephrine for treatment of spinal hypotension during elective cesarean delivery- A randomised, double-blind study
Authors: Rai Akshatha V. , Prakash Smita , Chellani Harish , Mullick Parul , Wason Rama
Published: October 2022

Background and Aims:

Hypotension following subarachnoid block for cesarean delivery (CD) is common. We compared the effect of bolus administration of norepinephrine and phenylephrine on umbilical artery pH (primary objective) and their efficacy for the treatment of maternal hypotension (secondary objective) in term parturients undergoing elective CD under spinal anesthesia.

Material and Methods:

In a randomized, double-blinded study, parturients received 1 mL boluses of either phenylephrine 100 μg/mL (group phenylephrine; n = 45) or norepinephrine 7.5 μg/mL (group norepinephrine; n = 45) whenever maternal systolic blood pressure decreased to ≤80% of baseline. Maternal hemodynamic changes, vasopressor, and atropine requirement and neonatal outcome (umbilical cord blood gas analysis, Apgar scores, neonatal neurobehavioral response) were assessed.

Results:

The Apgar scores and umbilical cord blood gas analysis were comparable between groups. The neurobehavioral scale score was significantly higher in group NE compared with that in group PE at 24 h and 48 h; P = 0.007 and 0.002, respectively. The number of vasopressor doses and time to the first vasopressor requirement for maintaining systolic pressure >80% of baseline was comparable in both groups. Incidence of bradycardia (P = 0.009), reactive hypertension (P = 0.003), and dose requirement of atropine (P = 0.005) was higher in group PE compared with group NE.

Conclusions:

In term normotensive parturients who received bolus norepinephrine 7.5 μg or phenylephrine 100 μg for the treatment of post-spinal hypotension during CD, neonatal umbilical cord blood gas analysis and Apgar scores were comparable. Norepinephrine use was associated with a lower incidence of maternal bradycardia and reactive hypertension compared with phenylephrine.
Prediction of endotracheal tube size in the pediatric age group by ultrasound: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Gupta Bhavna , Ahluwalia Pallavi
Published: October 2022

Anatomical differences in the airway in pediatric patients, compared to adults pose many challenges during endotracheal intubation, such as selecting the proper sized endotracheal tube (ETT) during intubation. Our primary objective was to assess how accurate is ultrasound (US) co-relation in comparison to standard age-based formulas in pediatric patients. Meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO 2020, CRD42020220041. Online literature available in PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase, Goggle scholar was searched from year 2000 till November 30, 2020, using relevant Mesh terms, (‘airway US’ OR ((‘airway’/exp OR airway) AND (‘US’/exp OR US))) AND (‘endotracheal intubation’/exp OR ‘endotracheal intubation’) AND (‘pediatric’/exp OR pediatric)” to Predict endotracheal tube size/placement in pediatric age (neonate till 18 years) by the US. Bibliographic cross-references of selected publications were further manually screened. The full texts of each article were studied, once the abstract was found appropriate independently by two reviewers. A total of 48 papers published between 2010 and 2020 were identified as relevant and read in detail. Average numbers of patients were 86 and total numbers of patients were 1978. Most of the studies included pediatric patients posted for elective surgeries under general anesthesia and excluded emergency procedures, known laryngeal or tracheal pathology, high-risk patients, recent upper respiratory tract infections or allergy to ultrasound gel. A total of 18 independent correlations were analyzed. Final combined r value calculated from all the included articles was 0.824 (95% CI 0.677, 0.908) with a P < 0.00001 {strong co-relation (r > 0.80)}. Q statistic of 756.484, and I2 statistics of 97.53% showed a large degree of heterogeneity in the effect size across the studies. Use of US for upper airway in pediatric patients is an effective modality and can effectively predict endotracheal tube size estimations in comparison to standard age-based or height-based formulae in the pediatric age group. US is a non-invasive, cost-effective, portable, and reproducible technique as compared to CT and MRI. It also takes less time with increasing expertise and experience.

Published: October 2022

Background and Aims:

Airway management in children is always challenging and becomes a concern if required in the lateral position. We evaluated the efficacy of orotracheal intubation using the Air-Q intubating laryngeal Airway (Air-Q ILA) in supine and lateral positions in children.

Material and Methods:

This study included 100 children weighing 7–30 kg, scheduled for elective surgeries under general anesthesia. They were randomized into the supine (S) group or lateral (L) group. After anesthesia induction, the child was placed in a standard sniffing position for conventional laryngoscopy in the S group, and the child was turned into the lateral position in the L group. Both Air-Q ILA and endotracheal tube were placed blindly in the supine position in the S group and lateral position in group L. The grading of glottic view, success rate, insertion time of the Air-Q ILA, and endotracheal intubation were noted in both the groups.

Results:

The Air-Q ILA was successfully placed at the first attempt in 47 children in group S and 48 in group L. The overall blind orotracheal intubations, including first and second attempts, were successful in 45 children in the S group and 47 in the L group (P = 0.715). Eighty percent of patients in group L and 70% in group S had glottis grade 1 or 2 compared to grade 3, 4,5 (P = 0.249). The mean time of Air-Q ILA placement in groups S and L was 15.73 ± 5.64 s and 14.42 ± 4.16 s (P = 0.195). The mean duration of blind endotracheal intubation through the Air-Q ILA was 24.88 ± 14.75 s in group S and 17.57 ± 5.35 s in group L (P = 0.002). In both the groups, none of the children had bronchospasm, laryngospasm, desaturation, or aspiration. The airway trauma evident by blood staining on the Air-Q ILA on removal was revealed in 2 cases in group S, and 3 cases in group L. None of the children in group S and 4 children in group L had postoperative stridor. Postoperative hoarseness was reported in 3 children in group S and none in group L within 24 hours.

Conclusion:

The Air-Q ILA can be used as a conduit for blind orotracheal intubation in children in both supine and lateral positions while maintaining an effective airway seal.

Density of random subsets and applications to group theory
Authors: Tsai Tsung-Hsuan
Published: October 2022

Developing an idea of M. Gromov (1993), we study the intersection formula for random subsets with
density
. The density of a subset

A

in a finite set

E

is defined by

\operatorname{dens} A := \log_{|E|}(|A|)

. The aim of this article is to give a precise meaning of Gromov’s
intersection formula
: “Random subsets”

A

and

B

of a finite set

E

satisfy

\operatorname{dens} (A\cap B) = \operatorname{dens} A + \operatorname{dens} B -1

.

As an application, we exhibit a phase transition phenomenon for random presentations of groups at density

\lambda/2

for any

0<\lambda<1

, characterizing the

C'(\lambda)

-small cancellation condition. We also improve an important result of random groups by G. Arzhantseva and A. Ol’shanskii (1996) from density

0

to density

0\leq d<1 / (120m^2\ln(2m))
