Reforma de la educación superior en México: pasar del debate a la acción
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Didriksson T. Axel ,   Instituto de Investigaciones sobre la Universidad y la Educación
Published: April 2022

A escala mundial, las grandes economías del conocimiento implementan políticas públicas de mercantilización de la educación superior que profundizan las diferencias estructurales entre países y regiones. En el plano productivo y cognitivo, el saldo ha sido desfavorable para México, pues durante décadas no se han instituido políticas para la generación de valor agregado basado en conocimientos, con nuevos aprendizajes y soberanía científica, que hubieran podido disminuir las enormes brechas sociales. Con un nuevo gobierno de corte progresista y antineoliberal, en México se están realizando esfuerzos a fin de definir una nueva reforma educativa mediante nuevas leyes en materia de educación superior, de conocimientos, de ciencia y tecnología con énfasis en una mayor accesibilidad con gratuidad. Sin embargo, el sistema de educación superior está muy segmentado en términos socio-institucional y mercantilizado y privatizado, de ahí que los hijos de obreros y campesinos cuenten con menores posibilidades de acceder a estudios superiores, mientras que los de las clases medias altas o altas podrán hacerlo de manera continua y ascendente. Una verdadera reforma educativa precisa superar las desigualdades sociales y para ello se requiere diseñar una política de Estado de carácter alternativa, intercultural, de bien público, con equidad y sustentabilidad en el mediano y largo plazos. El punto de partida es sustentar la educación como bien público y social, y no como un servicio comercial o una mercancía. Se trata de pensar en otro tipo de educación y, por ende, en otro tipo de sociedad y de Estado. Es el postulado de proponerse construir una nueva política de Estado en el sector que aspire a una educación distinta.

Authors: Suwito Andreas K. , Prasetyo Eko , Oley Maximillian Ch. , Langi Fredrik G.
Published: April 2022

Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs worldwide causing death and serious disability. Adequate initial assessment of the level of consciousness with GCS and early intervention are critical components of managing a patient with TBI. Levels of fibronectin, especially c-Fn in patients with severe TBI, increase significantly over time for several days after the trauma and are associated with poorer disease prognosis. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between serum fibronectin level and the Glasgow coma scale in patients with TBI and serum fibronectin level as a predictive parameter of trauma severity in TBI. Plasma fibronectin levels were measured blindly using ELISA according to the ELISA kit instructions for fibronectin. There were 65 COT patients as samples. The majority of patients had mild to moderate COT, and only 10 (15%) patients were in the severe COT category (GCS 3-8). The distribution of serum fibronectin level was moderately skewed to the right with a median of 4 ng/ml (IQR 2.7-6.4 ng/ml). In conclusion, there is a negative relationship between serum fibronectin and GCS which could be used for COT stratification. Serum fibronectin levels tend to be high in patients with low GCS or severe COT. Fibronectin is also high in patients that did not survive.Keywords: fibronectin; Glasgow coma scale; traumatic brain injury  Abstrak: Cedera otak traumatik (COT) banyak terjadi di seluruh dunia dan menyebabkan kematian dan disabilitas berat. Penilaian awal dengan Glasgow coma scale (GCS) dan intervensi yang dini merupakan komponen yang penting dalam menangani pasien. Kadar fibronektin khususnya c-Fn pada pasien dengan trauma kepala berat meningkat secara bermakna seiring waktu selama beberapa hari setelah trauma kepala dan berhubungan dengan prognosis penyakit yang lebih buruk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara kadar serum fibronektin dengan GCS pada pasien COT dan kadar serum fibronektin sebagai parameter prediktif tingkat keparahan trauma. Kadar fibronektin plasma diukur secara blind menggunakan ELISA sesuai instruksi kit ELISA untuk fibronektin. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 65 orang pasien COT. Umumnya pasien mengalami COT ringan atau sedang, dan hanya 10 orang (15%) pasien berada pada kategori COT berat (GCS 3-8). Distribusi kadar serum fibronektin cukup miring ke kanan dengan median 4 ng/ml (IQR 2,7-6,4 ng/ml). Simpulan penelitian ini ialah terdapat hubungan negatif antara fibronektin serum dan GCS yang dapat digunakan untuk stratifikasi COT. Kadar serum fibronektin cenderung tinggi pada pasien dengan GCS rendah atau COT relatif berat. Fibronektin juga ditemukan tinggi pada pasien yang meninggal.Kata kunci: fibronektin; Glasgow coma scale; cedera otak akibat trauma
Sequência de somas de números racionais
Authors: Costa Eudes Antonio , Souza Keidna Cristiane Oliveira
Published: April 2022

Neste trabalho estudamos a aplicação S, soma dos algarismos, para os números racionais. A aplicação S é bem conhecida em números inteiros, principalmente em problemas olímpicos (IZMIRLI, 2014; ZEITZ, 1999). Costa et al. (2021) estenderam a aplicação S a um número racional positivo x com representação decimal finita. Destacamos o seguinte resultado: dado um número racional positivo x, com representação decimal finita, e soma dos seus algarismos 9, quando x é dividido por potências de 2 ou 5, o número resultante mantém a soma dos seus algarismos igual a 9. Aquele estudo foi motivado pela afirmação atribuída a Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) (COSTA et al., 2021), ao dividirmos (ou multiplicarmos) consecutivamente por 2 os algarismos do ângulo 360º, associado geometricamente à uma circunferência, os ângulos (medido em grau) resultantes têm a propriedade de que a soma dos algarismos é (sempre) igual a 9. Por exemplo, temos que S(360)=9, assim também teremos que S(180) = S(90) = S(45) = S(22,5)=S(11,25) = 9. Aqui estenderemos a aplicação S a qualquer número racional positivo x. Nosso intento é apresentar algumas propriedades relacionadas à aplicação S para todo número x pertencente a Q+.

Authors: Kunikata Toshiaki , Kato Takumi , Shiratori Daiki , Nakauchi Daisuke , Kawaguchi Noriaki , Yanagida Takayuki
Published: April 2022

The 0.1% Ag-doped ZnO translucent ceramic was synthesized by spark plasma sintering and annealed at 700 °C and 800 °C in the air for 24 h. Photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields (QYs) and scintillation light yields (LYs) of the annealed ceramics were increased as compared with the as-prepared ceramic because the annealing reduced self-absorption due to oxygen vacancies. The ceramic annealed at 700 °C indicated the highest LY (7000 ph/5.5 MeV-α) among the present samples owing to the increase of the PL QY and energy-transfer efficiency from the host to the luminescence centers. In the ceramic annealed at 800 °C, scintillation LYs decreased due to the increment of the number of trap sites.
Underwater acoustic positioning in multipath environment using time-of-flight signal group and database matching
Authors: Yoshihara Tohru , Ebihara Tadashi , Mizutani Koichi , Sato Yuma
Published: April 2022

One of the challenges in underwater acoustic positioning is the occurrence of missing measurements and large errors in multipath environments, such as shallow water and harbor areas. In this paper, we propose a new underwater positioning method for multipath environments by using direct wave arrival time groups and database matching. The proposed method accurately measures baseline length from the impulse response of the underwater channel by calculating time window groups that cover the propagation time from the sound source to each hydrophone in advance and then extracting only the impulse response around the propagation time of the direct waves when the sound source exists in a certain region of the measurement space. The performance of the proposed method was experimentally evaluated in a static environment. The results showed that the proposed method achieved an accuracy of 0.03 m and a precision of 0.02 m in a test tank.

Flexible Multi-Objective Particle Swam Optimization Clustering with Game Theory to Address Human Activity Recognition Fully Unsupervised
Authors: Hadikhani Parham , Lai Daphne Teck Ching , Ong Wee-Hong
Published: April 2022

Most research in human activity recognition is supervised, while non-supervised approaches are not completely unsupervised. In this paper, we provide a novel flexible multi-objective particle swarm optimization (PSO) clustering method based on game theory (FMOPG) to discover human activities fully unsupervised. Unlike conventional clustering methods that estimate the number of clusters and are very time-consuming and inaccurate, an incremental technique is introduced which makes the proposed method flexible in dealing with the number of clusters. Using this technique, clusters that have a better connectedness and good separation from other clusters are gradually selected. To improve the convergence speed of PSO in achieving the best solution and dealing with spherical shape clusters, updating of particles' velocity is modified using the concept of mean-shift vector. To solve multi-objective optimization problems, Nash equilibrium in game theory is used to select the optimal solution on the pareto front. Gaussian mutation is also employed on the pareto front to generate diverse solutions and create a balance between exploitation and exploration. The proposed method is compared with state-of-the-art methods on five challenging datasets. FMOPG has improved clustering accuracy by 3.65% compared to automated methods. Moreover, the incremental technique has improved the clustering time by 71.18%.
An Examination of the Situational Leadership Approach: Strengths and Weaknesses
Authors: Shonhiwa Doctor Caxton
Published: April 2022

This present paper examines the situational leadership approach as one of the styles that leaders and managers of organisations can use. Leaders are a key human resource in any organisation. We generally think of companies competing by means of their products, but they probably compete more by means of their leaders than their products. Better leaders develop better employees and the two together develop better products. To get things done in by people, management must supply leadership the team for work accomplishment through leadership. Secondly, leadership aids authority. There are limits to the use of authority in obtaining high performance amongst subordinates. Authority alone cannot generate a favourable attitude for improved performance. Because of its main reliance on influence, leadership is essential for obtaining successful work accomplishment. Thirdly, if management fails to provide able leadership, informal leadership will develop which will eventually regulate the behaviour of the employees and may come into conflict with managerial leadership. Good leadership uses various approaches in order to steer the organisation to greater heights. The situational is one of those approaches which every leader or manager should be aware of.

Many people are frustrated with the quantity of water to give to their plants and also do not get time to water their plants regularly. This could be difficult to keep plants healthy and fresh. This study specifically experiment on the body that will enhance the seeping of water at a given time and to design series of water sustainable planter that will suit the require plants (flowers). Studio-based method of qualitative research design was employed in the study. Results from observations aided in the production of the water sustainable planter. The study unveiled that water sustainable planter can be produced using locally available materials such as Mfensi clay, Keyansi clay, grog and sawdust. The sustainable planter was able to sustain water, making the soil moist and helps plants to grow fresh and healthy. The study recommends that further research should be done by using different materials for the production of water sustainable planter and other plants should also be explored for the planter. Further reviewing of designs based on the planter should be made to suit the required plant.
Museum Engagement in Ghana
Authors: Dika Michael Dela , Agyei Eugene Ofori
Published: April 2022

Museums around the world are gradually evolving to refine their role in society. These changes, however, are slowly felt in some part of Africa. In Ghana, museum engagement is very low as a result of poor visitors' experience in museums, poor managements, incomplete projects, lack of publicity and the nonexistence of museum education in the Ghanaian education system. The study specifically seeks to address the shortfalls of museum engagements in Ghana and to identify ways of increasing community engagement. Empirical approach of quantitative and qualitative research design, focusing on a descriptive survey method was employed for the study. The study has shown that, people do not visit the museum because of poor management, their busy schedules and low publicity of museums in Ghana. People, barely hear anything about museum activities and nothing about Ghanaian museums is fascinating to them. The study recommends educational reforms at the basic level tailored towards active participation of students in the history of Ghana through trips to the museums. This investment will go a long way to help the next generation get familiarised with Ghanaian culture and increase museum engagement in Ghana.

Published: April 2022

This present study aimed at assessing people attention on flood awareness during 2011-2018 through the use of Google Trends. This was the first study in disasters field in Thailand that utilized this analytical tool to measure search queries of Thai citizens. Although flood events were ranked as the most periodic disastrous occurrence of Thailand, search volume index retrieved from Google Trends in monthly basis indicated a lack of interest in this topic among Thai Internet users. The greatest attention on flood events based on the search volume index, was in October, 2011 when more than 10 million residents of 65 provinces were impacted. Nevertheless, the search volume index of this topic radically declined in the following months. The term “disasters” was retrieved a lower attention by the Internet users when compared to flood topic in the same period of time. This study also found that the search volume index of disasters topic demonstrated a greater interest and more attention from Thai people than floods since year of 2013. Surprisingly, when used the term “flood awareness” and “flood preparedness” to investigate level of search interests on Google Trends, data showed no public attention on this topic as indicated by a tiny search volume index.

The attraction of Hollywood, the high concentration of undocumented immigrants, the presence of long-distance highways, and the sexualized popular culture that has normalized and reduced the moral barriers to access commercial sex, contributes for the proliferation of sex trafficking. This article, based on qualitative interviews conducted between 2014 and 2017 with five sex traffickers operating in California and sixteen women from Central America trafficked to California, aims to describe how sex trafficking networks operate in California, and examine the characteristics of Central American women trafficked to this state.

Authors: Promsri Dr. Chaiyaset
Published: April 2022

The purposes of this study were to examine political skill among Thai students and compare political skill differences in terms of gender, place of origin, and age. This study used an 18-item of a modified Thai version of Political Skill Inventory to measure political skill. Samples in this study were gathered from 60 business students in a selected public university in Bangkok. Results indicated that the greatest political skill dimension among Thai students was “apparent sincerity” followed by “interpersonal influence”, “social astuteness”, and “networking ability”, respectively. To compare gender, place of origin, and age differences in political skill, independent samples t-test was conducted. Findings revealed no significant differences between male and female students and people with different places of origin in political skill. However, this study found a significant difference between students with different age in interpersonal influence dimension of political skill. Student aged between 18-25 years had less interpersonal influence skill than student aged above 25 years. This study was noteworthy to be the first study in Thai context that attempted to explore political skill difference between people with distinctive place of origin.

Authors: Promsri Dr. Chaiyaset
Published: April 2022

The purpose of this research was to scrutinize social intelligence in relation to demographics variables including gender, background, and age. A total of sixty undergraduate students in a selected public university in Bangkok were selected as a sample for data collection and asked to complete a survey questionnaire. An instrument for scale measurement in this study was a modified version of Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS). Findings demonstrated that the overall social intelligence among undergraduate students was at a moderate level, and social skills sub-scale of social intelligence was rated as the highest dimension. Analysis of independent samples t-test indicated no significant differences in social intelligence according to gender, background, and age. Nevertheless, results found a significant difference in social information process between students with different groups of age indicating that students aged above 25 years old had more social information process than students aged between 18-25 years old.
The Worse Sides of Family Violence and Its Effects on the Educational Development of Children in Delta State – Nigeria
Authors: D. Oghiagbephan A.
Published: April 2022

Family violence is a daily reality for millions of families around the world including Nigeria, affecting Nigerian children of all ages, all social contexts and in every part of their lives — their homes and families, schools, institutions, and communities. Family violence is a health, legal, economic, educational, developmental, and, above all, a human rights issue. The paper, therefore, focuses on family violence as one of the most prevalent yet relatively hidden and ignored forms of violence globally. The paper looks at the meaning of family violence, forms of family violence, its impact on the education of the Delta State children of Nigeria and strategies for preventing family violence. It also recommends the need for coordinated and integrated efforts among scholars in educating Nigerians on the deadly effect of family violence on educational development of the Delta State children of Nigeria.

An Overall Improved Ant Colony Optimization algorithm trained BPNN for PV MPPT
Authors: Chang Jia-bao , Niu Fang-lin , Chen Tao
Published: April 2022

A novel PV MPPT algorithm based on the overall improved ant colony optimization algorithm-trained BP neural network (OIACO-BPNN) has been proposed in this paper to overcome the poor prediction accuracy and slow convergence rate of the BP Neural Network (BPNN). Firstly, the pheromone updating model of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is improved, and the weight coefficient is added to improve the convergence rate of the ACO algorithm. Secondly, the optimal weight threshold of BPNN is updated by Overall Improved Ant Colony Optimization (OIACO) algorithm. Thirdly, the optimized BPNN is employed to predict the Maximum Power Point (MPP) voltage of the photovoltaic (PV) array. Finally, the deviation value between the voltage of the PV array and the predicted voltage is employed as the input of PID controller. In addition, the duty cycle of the Boost circuit is adjusted by PID controller to achieve MPPT. Matlab/Simulink is employed to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed MPPT algorithm. Simulation results illustrate that the OIACO-BPNN algorithm is superior to the ACO and the BPNN in prediction accuracy and tracking performance, moreover has a good robustness and response speed.
Analysis of P&O and Inc Algorithms for Effective Photovoltaic System Using MATLAB

The power crisis faced in India can be overcome by introducing different non-traditional control age tactics. Sunlight-based electricity is the most well-known out-of-the-box technology. Since the sun is the major source of energy for this method, the facility age may vary due to the natural factors like as irradiance, temperature variations, and abrupt impedance of mists, which cannot be controlled or prevented by humans. Irrespective of temperature, irradiance, or shading effects, the Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) method is employed to see the utmost power age point. By applying MPPT methods, the required amount of energy is controlled with a smaller number of boards, lowering the value of adding to a PV framework. This research presents a comparable analysis of two MPPT procedures, Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Incremental Conductance (INC) methods in light of the very fact that these computations are often used due to their low effort and simple recognition when using MATLAB/SIMULINK. To imitate the MPPT algorithm, the basic quantities like voltage and current of a board have been used.
