The Evolution of Indigenous Identity in Native Indian Drama: A Comparative Study of Cultural Representation from Metamora to The Thanksgiving Play
Authors: N. R. Gopal
Published: October 2024

This paper seeks to understand how Indigenous identity and representation have changed over time in Native American drama. For works historic and contemporary, the characters, themes, and cultural narratives present in plays written by and for Native peoples may provide insight into the social and political climates of the times when those plays were penned. The difference between the portrayal of Indigenous peoples in plays such as Metamora; or, The Last of the Wampanoags and the portrayal of Indigenous characters in plays like The Thanksgiving Play and Body Indian is striking and significant. Playwrights who have been part of the historic tribal memory of their peoples may serve as an Indigenous lifeline to live historical memory rather than politicized “wokeness,” which seems to be the societal expectation of plays these days.

Modelo mindfulness en recursos humanos: abordando el cambio organizacional desde una perspectiva humanista
Authors: Almengor Seyna
Published: October 2024

El surgimiento de nuevas habilidades ha transformado radicalmente el panorama laboral y las expectativas hacia el capital humano. Estas competencias demandan nuevos enfoques o estructuras de aprendizaje, donde se integra el reskilling, tanto para los empleados actuales como para los futuros. De esta necesidad surge la iniciativa de desarrollar un modelo que pueda beneficiar a cualquier organización que esté considerando implementar una estrategia de reskilling, con el fin de actualizar a los empleados para que puedan desempeñarse con eficiencia en roles diferentes y mantenerse competitivos en el mercado laboral. Con el objetivo de presentar un modelo de mindfulness diseñado para abordar el cambio organizacional desde una perspectiva humanista, se llevó a cabo un estudio cualitativo, descriptivo y no experimental, realizado con datos recolectados entre los años 2000 y 2020 para organizar los antecedentes del estudio, y entre 2022 y 2024 para desarrollar el modelo, aplicándose las técnicas de la encuesta, el análisis documental y los grupos focales para recopilar información sobre la percepción del ambiente laboral, las necesidades de cambio y la utilidad del reskilling. Los resultados revelaron las cuatro fases principales que componen el modelo, resaltando la importancia de la comunicación abierta, la formación personalizada, la adaptación al cambio y el conocimiento del cambio organizacional en el enfoque propuesto por el Modelo Mindfulness. Aunque aún está en proceso de desarrollo y mejora, se espera que, al implementar este modelo, las organizaciones puedan experimentar mejoras en la eficiencia, la efectividad y la armonía dentro de sus equipos de trabajo.

Wie können wirtschaftliche Konsum entscheidungen nachhaltig werden? Perspektivische, entscheidungstheoretische und wirtschaftspolitische Konfliktlinien in der Mikroökonomie
Authors: Danzer Alexander M.
Published: October 2024

Der Beitrag beleuchtet Konfliktlinien in der volkswirtschaftlichen Betrachtung nachhaltiger Konsumentscheidungen. Dabei wird aufgezeigt, dass die neoklassische und die verhaltensökonomische Perspektive unterschiedliche Erklärungen bereithalten, warum es Menschen schwerfällt, nachhaltig zu konsumieren. Ausgehend von diesen beiden Perspektiven lassen sich Konflikte entlang des gesamten individuellen Entscheidungsprozesses auf der Nachfrageseite identifizieren. Darüber hinaus wird die Schwierigkeit aufgezeigt, Mehrheiten für wirtschaftspolitische Nachhaltigkeitsinstrumente zu finden, da die Wirksamkeit, Effizienz und Durchsetzbarkeit verschiedener Instrumente von Konsument:innen und Wähler:innen schwer eingeschätzt werden können. Mittels einer Umfrage unter Studierenden mit Nachhaltigkeitsbezug wird verdeutlicht, dass selbst relativ homogene Gruppen heterogene Einschätzungen zu Nachhaltigkeitspolitiken vertreten.

Telesimulation Use in Emergency Medicine Residency Programs: National Survey of Residency Simulation Leaders
Authors: Berger Max , Buckanavage Jack , Jordan Jaime , Lai Steven , Regan Linda
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) accelerated the need for virtual learning including telesimulation. Many emergency medicine (EM) programs halted in-person simulation and trialed telesimulation, but speciﬁcs on its utilization and plans for future use are unknown. Telesimulation has been deﬁned as “a process by which telecommunication and simulation resources are utilized to provide education, training, and/or assessment to learners at an off-site location.” Our objective in this study was to describe the patterns of telesimulation usage in EM residency programs during COVID-19-induced learning restrictions as well as its anticipated future utility. Methods: We identiﬁed EM simulation leaders via the EMRA Match website, institutional websites, or personal contact with residency coordinators and directors, and invited them to participate by email. Participants completed a conﬁdential, web-based survey consisting of multiple-choice items and one free-response question, developed by our study team with consideration of survey research best practices and Messick’s validity framework. We collected data between January–February 2022. We calculated descriptive statistics for multiple-choice items and examined the free-response answers for common themes. Results: We obtained contact information for simulation leaders at 139 EM residency programs. Survey response rate was 65% (91/139). During in-person restrictions, 62% (56/91) of programs used telesimulation. Assuming all restrictions lifted, 38% (34/90) of respondents planned to continue to use telesimulation, compared to 9% (8/91) using telesimulation before COVID-19. Most respondents planned to use telesimulation for medical knowledge (26/34, 76%) and communication/teamwork-focused cases (23/34, 68%). In response to the free-response question regarding experience with and plans for use, we identiﬁed three major themes: 1) telesimulation is a valuable alternative to in-person learning; 2) telesimulation is an option for learners unable to participate in person; and 3) telesimulation is challenging for procedural education. Conclusion: Despite the relatively limited use of telesimulation in EM residencies prior to COVID-19, an increased number of programs have plans to continue incorporating telesimulation into their curricula. This plan for continued use opens opportunities for further innovation and scholarship within simulation education.

This handbook seeks to provide an internationally-relevant model curriculum, open to adoption or adaptation, which responds to the emerging global problem of disinformation that confronts societies in general, and journalism in particular. Serving as a model curriculum, the publication is designed to give journalism educators and trainers a framework and lessons to help students and practitioners of journalism to navigate the issues associated with ‘fake news’. We also hope that it will be a useful guide for practising journalists. The contents draw together the input of leading international journalism educators, researchers and thinkers who are helping to update journalism method and practice to deal with the challenges of misinformation and disinformation. The lessons are contextual, theoretical and in the case of online verification, extremely practical. Used together as a course, or independently, they can help refresh existing teaching modules or create new offerings. It is part of the “Global Initiative for Excellence in Journalism Education”, which is a focus of UNESCO’s International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC). The Initiative seeks to engage with teaching, practising and researching of journalism from a global perspective, including sharing international good practices.
A Less Perfect Perfectionism
Authors: Garofalo Paul ,   Department of Philosophy, Florida State University
Published: October 2024

Two central questions concerning the role that persistent disagreements about philosophical, ethical, and religious issues in liberal societies are raised in this paper: (i) whether the state’s authority may be justified on the basis of controversial views and (ii) whether the state may rely on controversial views when exercising authority. Many assume whatever motivates philosophers to respect disagreement in justifying the state—answering “no” to (i)—seems to also require the state to respect disagreement when it acts—answering “no” to (ii). Here I defend the consistency of answering “no” to (i) and “yes” to (ii), a position I call “political perfectionism.” I argue, first, that one prominent reason for answering “no” to (i)—that citizens should be able to endorse the authority of the state—is consistent with answering “yes” to (ii) and, second, that the intuitions underlying why political liberals want citizens to be able to endorse the authority of the state can motivate answering “yes” to (ii).
subjetivação política como possibilidade de superação do ressentimento nas instituições escolares
Authors: Oliveira Marquez Murilo , Ferreira Thaiane , Neves Legnani Viviane
Published: October 2024

Este artigo discute os efeitos do Neoliberalismo nos processos de subjetivação dos atores escolares e o ressentimento como um afeto recorrente no ambiente escolar, que tem atravessado o que hoje se denomina mal-estar na educação. Como a violência escolar vem sendo uma de suas expressões, os veículos de comunicação de massa, por meio de explicações apressadas e individualizadas, estabelecem-na em uma relação de causa e efeito, produzindo sua espetacularização. Daí a possibilidade de, no dia a dia escolar, se redimensionar a finalidade da educação neoliberal por meio dos processos de subjetivação política referenciados em Ranciere (2012; 2018). Isto é, trata-se de uma proposta de reconfiguração da forma e dos lugares hierarquicamente estabelecidos no ambiente escolar, promovendo a transformação social.

Authors: Krug Hugo Norberto , Krug Rodrigo de Rosso , Krug Marilia de Rosso
Published: October 2024

Ao considerarmos a complexidade do começo da profissão docente e que as trajetórias de trans-formações (formações inicial e em serviço) desses profissionais impulsionam diversos momentos de ‘ser’ e ‘estar’ na profissão, objetivamos neste estudo, analisar as percepções de professores de Educação Física iniciantes na Educação Básica, da rede de ensino público, de uma cidade do interior do estado do Rio Grande do Sul (Brasil), sobre as relações da trajetória formativa profissional inicial e o início da docência. Caracterizamos a pesquisa como qualitativa com abordagem (auto)biográfica, em que utilizamos a narrativa oral, analisada à luz da identificação dos significados. Participaram três professores de EF iniciantes na EB da referida rede de ensino e cidade. Nos resultados identificamos três tipos diferentes de trajetórias: 1º) ‘o Professor 1 que passou pelos estágios de sobrevivência e de descoberta característicos da fase de entrada na carreira’; 2º) ‘o Professor 2 que não passou pelo estágio de sobrevivência, e, sim, foi direto para o estágio de descoberta’; e, 3º) ‘o Professor 3 que não conseguiu ultrapassar o estágio de sobrevivência, caracterizado pelo choque com a realidade escolar’. Dessa forma, concluímos que o motivo da escolha do curso, o que fazemos durante a formação profissional inicial, são muito determinantes para a boa formação ou não, bem como no desenvolvimento da docência na fase de entrada na carreira, pois inclusive pode determinar o futuro da relação com o trabalho.

An Analysis of Factors Affecting Profitability in the Insurance Sector: Evidence from Turkish Insurance Companies
Authors: Erdoğan Burhan
Published: October 2024

Achieving sustainable development in emerging economies is contingent upon the effective and efficient operation of all sectors. The financial sector plays a critical role in supporting individuals and institutions within an economy by ensuring resource allocation and promoting investments. Alongside banking activities, the insurance sector has taken on a significant role in Türkiye’s financial landscape, contributing to the nation’s economic development through its recent growth and profitability. This study analyzes the factors influencing the return on assets (ROA) of firms operating in the Turkish insurance sector. Quarterly data from 28 insurance firms for the period between the first quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2024 were analyzed using panel data analysis. The results indicate that premium size, leverage ratio, and BIST variables have a significant impact on the return on assets of insurance companies, while liquidity ratio and conservation ratio do not exhibit significant effects.
The Effect of Bank Credits and Innovation on Economic Growth in BRICS Countries
Authors: Atukalp M. Esra
Published: October 2024

In many economies, private sector credit plays a critical role by productively allocating resources for investment and is considered the engine of economic growth. Bank credit to the private sector promotes economic growth through capital accumulation and technological progress by mobilizing savings, increasing production and optimizing capital allocation. In this respect, it is expected that the determination of the relationship between bank credits and economic growth will shed light on policy makers. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of bank credit and innovation on economic growth in BRICS countries. In the study, which deals with the period of 2001-2020, the analysis was carried out with Westerlund panel cointegration analysis. As a result of the analysis, it has been determined that there is no cointegration relationship between GDP and domestic credits from banks to the private sector and innovation in BRICS countries and the supply-side hypothesis that bank credit causes economic growth in BRICS countries is not valid.

Authors: Çalış Nevzat
Published: October 2024

In this study, the effect of the loan amount given by the banks operating in the BIST banking index on the profitability of the banks was examined. The data for the periods 2009-2023 were analysed with the help of regression analysis. Two different models were created and ROA and ROE were determined as dependent variables. Total loans were determined as independent variables, while Non-Performing Loans / Total Loans, Shareholders' Equity / Total Assets, Deposits / Total Assets and Liquid Assets / Total Assets ratios were used as control variables. As a result of the study, a negative and significant relationship was found between ROA and NPL at a significance level of 5%, and between ROE and NPL at a significance level of 1%. In addition, a positive relationship was found between ROA and equity-fixed assets/total assets ratio. In addition, significant relationships were found between ROA and equity/total assets and liquid assets/total assets ratios at the 10% significance level. On the other hand, a positive correlation was found between the equity/total assets ratio and ROE, indicating that a stronger equity structure of banks could increase their return on equity.
Modification Of a Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode with Nanoporous Gold by Electrodeposition and Dealloying of a Gold-Copper Alloy
Authors: Nur Asyiqin Azman  , Yusairie Mohd  , Zainiharyati Mohd Zain  , Lim Ying Chin
Published: October 2024

In this study, a three-dimensional structure of nanoporous gold (NPG) was made by selectively corroding copper (Cu) from gold-copper (Au-Cu) alloys using a two-step electrochemical method. Given its large surface area and interconnected porous network, nanoporous gold is a suitable material for the advancement of electrochemical sensors. The screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) modified with nanoporous gold (NPG/SPCE) was fabricated by electrodepositing a gold-copper alloy from gold ion (Au3+) and copper ion (Cu2+) solution via cyclic voltammetry (CV) by scanning from -0.3 V to -0.8 V for 80 cycles. The copper is then removed via a dealloying process in 3M HNO3 using the cyclic voltammogram (CV) method by scanning potential from 0 V to +1.0 V for 100 cycles at 100 mV/s. The morphology, elemental composition, and electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) of NPG/SPCE electrodes were characterized using FESEM, EDX, and CV analysis, respectively. The electrochemical performance of the NPG/SPCE was compared with bare SPCE in a 10 mM potassium ferrocyanide (K4FeCN6) solution using cyclic voltammetry. The morphological study using FESEM revealed that the NPG/SPCE had an average pore diameter of 53 nm. The quantification of elements using EDX shows that 84 % of the copper in the electrodeposited gold-copper alloy electrode was successfully removed by the dealloying process. The higher number of cycles during the dealloying process led to producing NPG with higher ECSA electrodes. The ECSA of NPG/SPCE is 12 times greater than that of bare or unmodified SPCE in an equivalent geometrical area. NPG/SPCE has a much better electron transfer surface than bare SPCE due to its high surface area and gold surface properties, making it a potential sensing material for biosensing applications.
Structural, Morphological, Optical and Vibrational Properties of a Novel Coral-Like Fibrous CuO Nanostructure Synthesized via Dropwise Precipitation for UV-light Induced Photocatalytic Wastewater Remediation on Aqueous R6G Dye
Authors: Nor Azlia Aziz  , Chan Kok Sheng  , Hui Joo Jie
Published: October 2024

CuO is a well-known monoclinic structure with unique properties that is extensively investigated for sensor, energy storage, and optoelectronic applications. In this work, the CuO nanostructure was synthesized through facile precipitation by mixing the aqueous copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate with sodium hydroxide. The as-synthesized CuO was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV–visible spectroscopy. A homogeneous growth of a narrow, fine coral-like fibrous morphology was observed on CuO under SEM imaging. The FTIR spectra reveal the existence of some dominant sharp bands in the lower wavenumber region that represent the Cu-O bonds. The high solubility of CuO in water confirms the formation of particles with nanoscale dimensions. CuO exhibits a strong optical absorption peak at 510 nm, and the band gap determined by Tauc's relation is 2.11 eV. CuO is capable of inducing photocatalytic degradation on R6G dye solutions under low-intensity UVC irradiation, which can serve as a future photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.
Preparation and Characterization of Tensile Properties of PMMA/SiC Nanowhiskers Nanocomposite Films: Effect of Filler Loading and Silane Treatment
Authors: B. Y. Lim  , C. H. Voon  , L. Y. Lee  , P. L. Teh  , P. Y. Foong
Published: October 2024

The preparation of nanocomposites through melt mixing was challenging as the nanofillers tend to form agglomeration. The silicon carbide nanowhiskers (SiCNWs) filled poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) thin film in this study was prepared by means of solution casting. Acetone with low toxicity was used as solvent to dissolve the PMMA pellets. A coupling agent, silane was used to enhance the properties of composite films. Besides, the untreated and treated SiCNWs were filled into PMMA matrix, respectively with the filler loading varied from 0.2 to 0.8 wt%. The universal testing machine was used to investigate the tensile properties of composites. It was found out that the tensile strength of the PMMA was reduced in the presence of SiCNWs. However, the tensile strength had increased with the rise of filler loading. At 0.8 wt% of SiCNWs, the composites’ tensile strength was comparable to virgin PMMA. Meanwhile, the SiCNWs had reduced the elongation at break but increased the elastic modulus of PMMA/SiCNWs nanocomposite films. In addition, silane surface treatment on SiCNWs had improved the tensile strength and ductility but lowered the elastic modulus of the nanocomposites. The improvement was due to the enhancement of interfacial adhesion between SiCNWs and PMMA.

The aim of this work is to apply synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) Nanorods using hydrothermal (HTL) growth technique for pH sensor application. The highly crystallite of ZnO Nanorods was obtained by anneal the growth ZnO Nanorods in furnace at 200 °C for 2 hours. Besides that, XRD analysis shows the produced ZnO Nanorods belonged to the (002) plane. Furthermore, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images confirm that the ZnO Nanorods with hexagonal-faceted structural were successfully produced by HTL growth technique. In addition, Ultraviolet–visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer analysis shows that the synthesized ZnO belongs to the wide band gap semiconductor material. The growing ZnO Nanorods were then subjected to electrical measurement with various pH levels. The outcome demonstrates that the current rises as the solution changes from acidic to alkaline. Overall, our study shows a relationship between the electrical as well as the structural characteristics of ZnO Nanorods at various pH levels.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers new possibilities in the production of innovative parts. One novel but niche area is AM of metallic optical elements, such as freeform lenses or mirrors enabling benefits such as individual beam shaping, less system complexity, less system weight etc., compared to conventional lens designs. Despite the benefits, there are still many challenges e.g., high surface roughness, waviness and undefined microstructures resulting from the layer-wise building process. Addressing these issues, subsequent post-processing steps are required. This research investigated laser direct writing (DLW) using ultra-short pulsed (USP) laser ablation as a post-processing method for AM metal parts, with the aim of achieving desired optical surface properties, e.g., a wavelength dependent reflection behaviour. However, laser material interaction processes for USP laser ablation are very complex and influenced by many different process parameters e.g. applied fluence or used pulse duration as well as material and surface properties, e.g. surface roughness, which concerning additive manufacturing varies for different build angles of the samples. To face these topics, at the beginning of this work a way of working to identify important laser parameters on rough surfaces was established and material characteristic values were deduced for AM AlSi10Mg, e.g. the ablation threshold. As result, these values differed compared to values known from literature for pure, non AM aluminium. Different ablation regimes and at least two additional regimes compared to existing literature for varying fluences were observed and linked with different characteristic surface micro structures. Furthermore, the generated micro structures could be influenced by applying other pulse durations and thus provide a second but less strong parameter to obtain a desired surface micro structure. For example, to enhance the absorptivity of the surface, strong ablation and long pulse durations, which both support the generation of cone like micro structures acting as ray traps are suggested. In contrast, gentle ablation and short pulse durations should be applied to generate surface structures which aim at a desired reflection behaviour, e.g. angle dependant reflection. Finally, therefore a proof of principle for DLW of microstructures, here micro line gratings, on AM surfaces was shown and characterized using angle resolved spectroscopy. This research programme was carried out in cooperation with Aalen University.

In an era where science and technology are rapidly developing, in the era of globalization it opens a wide door for every individual to embrace change. Human resources, being the pulse that pumps industrial life, must be proficient in mastering science and technology, being able to apply it in every step of the industry, and steel has become an important milestone in various sectors, from building construction to machine components. However, behind the glitter of this civilization, technical processes such as turning the HSS M42 chisel face its own challenges. At certain rpm cycles, the tool experiences an erratic level of wear, as evidenced by the difference between the initial and final weights as well as the difference in the initial and final lengths. In the HSS M42 tool turning attempt, the HSS M42 1200 type tool with a size of 3/8x3/8x4" and a rotation speed of 700, 900, and 1200 rpm, with a cutting depth of 1 mm and a feed rate of 0.09, almost encountered a weakness. Tools that wear out quickly, especially at 900 rpm, make turning results less satisfactory. However, there was a light at the end of the hallway. In the same process, the use of HSS tools with HSS M42 1200 type, dimensions of 3/8x3/8x4", was able to answer the challenge with more promising success. At 900 rpm rotation, the wear that occurs is more controlled, resulting in a workpiece with a satisfactory level of fineness, reaching N6 in the measurement of surface roughness. As if to be a symbol of struggle, HSS chisels are able to cut finer traces in the ocean of HSS M42 chisels
Perspektif Hukum dan Masyarakat dalam Menilai Isu Pemindahan Ibu Kota Negara
Authors: Khatami Rafsanjani Alwi Ravi Khumaini
Published: October 2024

Ibu Kota Negara merupakan sebuah megaproyek pemerintah untuk memindahkan ibu kota Indonesia yang bermula di Jakarta ke Kalimantan Timur. Urgensi berdasarkan perspektif pemerintah Indonesia dalam isu pemindahan ibu kota ini adalah dengan mempertimbangkan beberapa aspek permasalahan yang terjadi di Kota Jakarta sebagai ibu kota Indonesia saat ini, yaitu aspek ekologis, historis, ekonomi, sosial, dan budaya. Adapun tujuan pemindahan ibu kota negara ini adalah untuk mengatasi ketimpangan ekonomi dan permasalahan ekologis di Pulau Jawa, khususnya DKI Jakarta. Namun urgensi yang diimplementasikan berdasarkan rancangan pemerintah Indonesia tersebut justru menimbulkan kontroversi yang terjadi, baik pada perspektif hukum maupun masyarakat. Penulisan ini menggunakan metode penelitian campuran dengan pendekatan perbandingan yang bertujuan untuk mengkaji isu-isu permasalahan dan menemukan korelasi antara kedua paradigma sudut pandang tersebut, yaitu perspektif hukum dan masyarakat mengenai isu pemindahan ibu kota negara. Pada hasilnya pembangunan megaproyek IKN ini justru menimbulkan beberapa permasalahan, yakni penyimpangan terhadap beberapa regulasi di Indonesia beserta kesepakatan hasil konvensi dan marginalisasi partisipasi masyarakat dan LSM. Dengan kesimpulan akhir bahwasannya pemindahan ibu kota negara ini sejatinya tidak memiliki urgensi yang komprehensif dengan alasan karena megaproyek IKN bukanlah upaya resolusi permasalahan dalam negeri tetapi bentuk pengabaian permasalahan yang telah ada di Jakarta dan menyalin permasalahan tersebut di Pulau Kalimantan.
