The perceived impact of accreditation on the quality of academic accounting education: students` perspective
Authors: ZARZYCKA EWELINA , Krasodomska Joanna , Biernacki Michał
Published: September 2018

The last few years have been a period of intensive accreditation processes concerning accounting majors in Polish universities by institutions which confirm accounting qualifications. Our paper aims to investi- gate the quality of academic education in the context of ACCA accreditation from the perspective of a critical stakeholder group – students. The identification of their views contributes to the ongoing discus- sion surrounding the quality of accounting education, and how it relates to practice. The study is based on an online survey questionnaire. There was a total of 384 responses used in the study, provided by students of three leading Polish universities. We took into consideration the characteristics of our respondents such as gender, age, type of studies, and work experience. The multiple regression analysis allows us to con- clude that accreditation is a factor that moderately influences the quality of accounting education. Stu- dents indicate the subject coverage and difficulties in preparing for accredited exams as highly important factors influencing the education quality. Accreditation and its impact on the quality of education are important and current issues; at the same time, these issues have not been addressed in academic research. The presented study is an attempt to fill the gap in the literature of this field, while also being relevant for practice. The results contribute to a better understanding of accreditation processes and students’ expecta- tions. They may also be useful to more successfully design and develop accounting curricula at higher education institutions which have already been accredited or are considering such a possibility.

Electrochemical evidences of the protection efficiency of propargyl alcohol o low-carbo steel in ethanolic solutions by electrical conductivity measures
Authors: Gonçalves Reinaldo Simões , Coradini Natalie Maria
Published: September 2018

It is shown that electrical conductivity measurement is a good method to characterize corrosion processes that occur on low-carbon steel in ethanolic solutions. Different aggressive coonditions were tested by changing the water content in distilled ethanol and by adding acid. Propargyl a alcohol inhibits the corrosion reaction. The specific conductivity of the solution decreases in the presence of propargyl alcohol for varying levels of aggressiveness. In dilute acetic acid ethanolic solutions, the proyection efficiency was better in 1.0mM propargyl alcohol than in the other concentrations.

Authors: Sanz Silvia , Santos Amanda Kellen dos , Santos Vagner Dos
Published: September 2018

Introdução: Os currículos de Terapia Ocupacional são objetos de constantes mudanças e negociações do campo profissional. Neste sentido, estudos comparativos são necessários para entender aspectos conceituais e estruturais da formação. Objetivo: Analisar comparativamente os currículos de Terapia Ocupacional em duas diferentes instituições de ensino superior (IES), uma no Brasil e outra na Espanha. Metodologia: Abordagem qualitativa, especificamente, análise documental, foi utilizada. Inúmeros documentos das IES foram selecionados e analisados em três categorias: : I) Definição e Conceitos: visão geral, II) Estrutura curricular do curso, III) Recursos humanos. Resultados: Observa-se que a definição conceitual de ambos programas apresenta uma tendência de utilização do termo ocupação, como elemento de definição da profissão, embora, na IES brasileira o termo atividade seja mais utilizado. Os currículos apresentaram percentuais semelhantes ao tempo dedicado à disciplinas especificas de Terapia Ocupacional, mas houve maior conteúdo de pesquisa e ciências sociais na instituição espanhola, que indica uma forte base no campo da saúde da formação brasileira. Os recursos humanos no Brasil apresentam maior número e titulação acadêmica. Considerações finais: Este estudo marca a primeira analise comparativa entre currículos dos dois países, e representa uma contribuição para entender diferente elementos que apoiam a formação de novos terapeutas ocupacionais.

El abandono de las funciones agrícolas en el caserío vasco está provocando un proceso de extensificación generalizado de los usos del suelo agrario, observándose en algunas comarcas los primeros ejemplos de parcelas abandonadas. No es un estado exclusivo de esta área, sino que responde a un proceso generalizado y especialmente visible en áreas de montaña. La preocupación ante este fenómeno ha llevado a la puesta en marcha distintas iniciativas tendentes a mantener en uso el suelo agrícola, algunas de las cuales han obtenido unos resultados importantes. Dedicamos este artículo a describir uno de los modelos impulsados en distintas comarcas del territorio Guipuzcoano y a analizar su incidencia, como es la potenciación de los servicios de maquinaria y especialmente el ensilado de forraje.The farm less process of the cow sector in Basque Country is getting an extensive process in a farm uses.

Of the People for the People: Digital Literature Resource Knowledge Recommendation Based on User Cognition
Authors: Lou Wen , Wang Hui , He Jiangen
Published: September 2018

We attempt to improve user satisfaction with the effects of retrieval results and visual appearance by employing users’ own information. User feedback on digital platforms has been proven to be one type of user cognition. Through conducting a digital literature resource organization model based on user cognition, our proposal improves both the content and presentation of retrieval systems. This paper takes Powell's City of Books as an example to describe the construction process of a knowledge network. The model consists of two parts. In the unstructured data part, synopses and reviews were recorded as representatives of user cognition. To build the resource category, linguistic and semantic analyses were used to analyze the concepts and the relationships among them. In the structural data part, the metadata of every book was linked with each other by informetrics relationships. The semantic resource was constructed to assist with building the knowledge network. We conducted a mock-up to compare the new category and knowledge-recommendation system with the current retrieval system. Thirty-nine subjects examined our mock-up and highly valued the differences we made for the improvements in retrieval and appearance. Knowledge recommendation based on user cognition was tested to be positive based on user feedback. There could be more research objects for digital resource knowledge recommendations based on user cognition.
Les rapports aux savoirs d’élèves de 3e secondaire de la région de Montréal : la place des sciences et des mathématiques 1
Authors: Gibeau Guy , Roy Gilles
Published: September 2018

La recherche présentée dans cet article vise à vérifier si deux des tendances les plus souvent révélées dans la littérature sur l’éducation aux sciences pouvaient être à nouveau confirmées, à savoir : 1) un effritement de l’intérêt des jeunes à l’égard des mathématiques et des sciences autour de l’âge de 14 à 16 ans et 2) la mise à distance, par certaines catégories d’élèves, d’un chemin qui aurait pu mener à la poursuite d’une carrière scientifique. La méthodologie déployée, de nature qualitative, a mené à décrire puis à analyser le contenu de près de 500 bilans de savoirs rédigés par des élèves de troisième secondaire inscrits dans quatre écoles différentes. Les résultats dégagés tempèrent ces deux grands constats et révèlent plutôt la présence d’une forte intériorisation des normes scolaires en général et de l’utilité perçue des mathématiques et des sciences en particulier.
Un développement professionnel durable ? Les clés de l’interdisciplinarité et de la créativité pour la formation des enseignants
Authors: Terzidis Amalia , Darbellay Frédéric
Published: September 2018

Au travers de l’exemple d’un dispositif de formation à la créativité pour des enseignants suisses romands, cet article vise à analyser comment créativité et interdisciplinarité peuvent représenter des clés de professionnalisation dans une perspective de durabilité. En croisant trois cadres théoriques liées respectivement à la créativité, l’interdisciplinarité et la professionnalisation, nous montrons en quoi ces concepts se recoupent et permettent d’éclairer des données recueillies en amont, durant et au terme du dispositif étudié. Il apparait ainsi que le développement de la créativité interdisciplinaire s’inscrit comme une composante de durabilité des compétences, pratiques, savoir-être et savoir-faire des enseignants, malgré quelques limites qui représentent autant d’opportunités d’optimiser la formation.
The Semiosphere, Between Informational Modernity and Ecological Postmodernity
Authors: Patoine Pierre-Louis , Hope Jonathan
Published: September 2018

The notion of semiosphere is certainly one of Lotman’s most discussed ideas. In this essay, we propose to investigate its ecological and biological dimensions, tracing them back to Vernadsky’s concept of biosphere and to Lotman’s environmental vision of art articulated in his early work,The Structure of the Artistic Text. Our investigation reveals how the biosemiotic undercurrents in Lotmanian thought enable the emergence of a cyclical, homeostatic model of culture that counterbalances a Modernist vision of art as a force working for unquestioned linear progress.
Towards the Semiotics of (In)sincerity (A Few Preliminary Remarks)1
Authors: Lotman Mihhail
Published: September 2018

Simply stated, sincerity is an intention to express the truth, while insincerity is an intention to mislead. A sincere person can be wrong and give false information, while an insincere person can make a mistake and speak the truth. Sincerity – and not the truth – is what is detected with a polygraph (a mentally ill person responding to the question “Are you Napoleon?” with a negation may well register as lying on a polygraph test).

In this paper I bring different examples (from texts which belong to various spheres of discourse) that illustrate a splitting of consciouscess in an otherwise mentally sane person : fantastic accusations (both self-accusations and accusations of others) are presented in a state of both belief and disbelief. Usual triggers for this phenomenon are fear and anger (which often occur together), but reasons may also be found in erotic desire or else in aesthetic licence, etc.
Twofold Freedom and Contingency
Authors: Bohn Cornelia , Prandini Riccardo , Martinelli Monica
Published: September 2018

The paper shows that the semantic complex of freedom assumes the form of a twofold freedom as horizontally differentiated realms of meaning gain autonomy: on the one side, individual and interpersonal freedom, and, on the other side, the freedom and self-determination of social fields or subsystems, both of which presuppose, stabilize, and destabilize one another. This co-constitution is proven with three exemplary thinkers. Simmel sees money as a decisive factor in the genesis of the modern social form of freedom and individuality. His argument is brought into systematic comparison with Constant’s prior work on individual freedom in European modernity, and with Luhmann’s later notion of contingency and constitutionally guaranteed freedom of communication as prerequisite for factual differentiation. It is demonstrated that in Simmel’s work, the modern variant of the social form of freedom is described as a specific interrelation that ties the objectification of culture to a depersonalisation of social differentiation as well as to a temporalization of dependencies.
Philosophy, Cultural Philosophy and Sociology
Authors: Watier Patrick , Amat Matthieu , Mora Emanuela
Published: September 2018

Every sociology rests on representations that are not explicitly thematised, and are in concordance with an atmosphere and cultural formations. These representations correspond to what Panofsky called a mental habit. which is transferable from one field of activity or thought to another. The essay shows how both the themes of individuality and of Bildung play back on G. Simmel's conception and place of the "social" and, consequently, on his sociological view.

We examined alterations in E/I-balance in schizophrenia (ScZ) through measurements of resting-state gamma-band activity in participants meeting clinical high-risk (CHR) criteria (n = 88), 21 first episode (FEP) patients and 34 chronic ScZ-patients. Furthermore, MRS-data were obtained in CHR-participants and matched controls. Magnetoencephalographic (MEG) resting-state activity was examined at source level and MEG-data were correlated with neuropsychological scores and clinical symptoms. CHR-participants were characterized by increased 64–90 Hz power. In contrast, FEP- and ScZ-patients showed aberrant spectral power at both low- and high gamma-band frequencies. MRS-data showed a shift in E/I-balance toward increased excitation in CHR-participants, which correlated with increased occipital gamma-band power. Finally, neuropsychological deficits and clinical symptoms in FEP and ScZ-patients were correlated with reduced gamma band-activity, while elevated psychotic symptoms in the CHR group showed the opposite relationship. The current study suggests that resting-state gamma-band power and altered Glx/GABA ratio indicate changes in E/I-balance parameters across illness stages in ScZ.

Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are molecules exposed or released by dead cells that trigger or modulate immunity and tissue repair. In vertebrates, the cytoskeletal component F-actin is a DAMP specifically recognised by DNGR-1, an innate immune receptor. Previously we suggested that actin is also a DAMP in Drosophila melanogaster by inducing STAT-dependent genes (Srinivasan et al., 2016). Here, we revise that conclusion and report that α-actinin is far more potent than actin at inducing the same STAT response and can be found in trace amounts in actin preparations. Recombinant expression of actin or α-actinin in bacteria demonstrated that only α-actinin could drive the expression of STAT target genes in Drosophila. The response to injected α-actinin required the same signalling cascade that we had identified in our previous work using actin preparations. Taken together, these data indicate that α-actinin rather than actin drives STAT activation when injected into Drosophila.

Pheromones are chemical signals that induce innate responses in individuals of the same species that may vary with physiological and developmental state. In Drosophila melanogaster, the most intensively studied pheromone is 11-cis-vaccenyl acetate (cVA), which is synthezised in the male ejaculatory bulb and is transferred to the female during copulation. Among other effects, cVA inhibits male courtship of mated females. We found that male courtship inhibition depends on the amount of cVA and this effect is reduced in male flies derived from eggs covered with low to zero levels of cVA. This effect is not observed if the eggs are washed, or if the eggs are laid several days after copulation. This suggests that courtship suppression involves a form of pre-imaginal conditioning, which we show occurs during the early larval stage. The conditioning effect could not be rescued by synthetic cVA, indicating that it largely depends on conditioning by cVA and other maternally-transmitted factor(s). These experiments suggest that one of the primary behavioral effects of cVA is more plastic and less stereotypical than had hitherto been realised.
Analysis of relative abundances with zeros on environmental gradients: a multinomial regression model
Authors: Chong Fiona , Spencer Matthew
Published: September 2018

Ecologists often analyze relative abundances, which are an example of compositional data. However, they have made surprisingly little use of recent advances in the field of compositional data analysis. Compositions form a vector space in which addition and scalar multiplication are replaced by operations known as perturbation and powering. This algebraic structure makes it easy to understand how relative abundances change along environmental gradients. We illustrate this with an analysis of changes in hard-substrate marine communities along a depth gradient. We fit a quadratic multivariate regression model with multinomial observations to point count data obtained from video transects. As well as being an appropriate observation model in this case, the multinomial deals with the problem of zeros, which often makes compositional data analysis difficult. We show how the algebra of compositions can be used to understand patterns in dissimilarity. We use the calculus of simplex-valued functions to estimate rates of change, and to summarize the structure of the community over a vertical slice. We discuss the benefits of the compositional approach in the interpretation and visualization of relative abundance data.
Investigating the relationship between intergroup physical contact and attitudes towards foreigners: the mediating role of quality of intergroup contact
Authors: Shamloo Soraya E. , Carnaghi Andrea , Fantoni Carlo
Published: September 2018

Recent research has shown that a brief, casual touch administered by an outgroup member reduces prejudice towards the group to which the toucher belongs. In this study, we take the research on physical contact and prejudice a step further by addressing the relation between individuals’ amount of Experienced Intergroup Physical Contact (EIPC), across distinct contexts and involving different body parts, and attitudes towards foreign people. Specifically, we hypothesized that the amount of EIPC would be positively associated with both quantity and quality of intergroup contact, but that only quality would mediate the relationship between the amount of EIPC and outgroup attitudes, quality being more directly linked to the evaluative component of outgroup attitudes. To attain this aim, we asked participants to self-report the amount of EIPC, the quantity and quality of their intergroup contact and their attitudes towards foreign people. Consistent with our hypothesis: (1) as EIPC increased, positive attitudes towards foreign people increased; (2) higher levels of EIPC were associated with better quality and higher quantity of intergroup contact; (3) only quality of intergroup contact mediated the relationship between the amount of EIPC and attitudes towards foreign people. Results were discussed in relation to research on intergroup contact and physical contact.

Based on the powerful concept of embedded dipole self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs), highly conductive interfacial layers are designed, which allow tuning the contact resistance of organic thin‐film transistors over three orders of magnitude with minimum values well below 1 kΩ cm. This not only permits the realization of highly competitive p‐type (pentacene‐based) devices on rigid as well as flexible substrates, but also enables the realization of n‐type (C60‐based) transistors with comparable characteristics utilizing the same electrode material (Au). As prototypical examples for the high potential of the presented SAMs in more complex device structures, flexible organic inverters with static gains of 220 V/V and a 5‐stage ring‐oscillator operated below 4 V with a stage frequency in the range of the theoretically achievable maximum are fabricated. Employing a variety of complementary experimental and modeling techniques, it is shown that contact resistances are reduced by i) eliminating the injection barrier through a suitable dipole orientation, and by ii) boosting the transmission of charge carriers through a deliberate reduction of the SAM thickness. Notably, the embedding of the dipolar group into the backbones of the SAM‐forming molecules allows exploiting their beneficial effects without modifying the growth of the active layer.

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have attracted remarkable attention due to their high theoretical capacity of 1675 mAh g−1, rich resources, inexpensiveness, and environmental friendliness. However, the practical application of the Li–S battery is hindered by the shuttling of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and slow redox reactions. Herein, a 3D nitrogen‐doped graphene/titanium nitride nanowires (3DNG/TiN) composite is reported as a freestanding electrode for Li–S batteries. The highly porous conductive graphene network provides efficient pathways for both electrons and ions. TiN nanowires attached on the graphene sheets have a strong chemical anchor effect on the polysulfides, which is proved by the superior performance and by density functional theory calculations. As a result, the 3DNG/TiN cathode exhibits an initial capacity of 1510 mAh g−1 and the capacity remains at 1267 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at 0.5 C. Even at 5 C, a capacity of 676 mAh g−1 is reached. With a high sulfur loading of 9.6 mg cm−2, the 3DNG cathode achieves an ultrahigh areal capacity of 12.0 mAh cm−2 at a high current density of 8.03 mA cm−2. This proposed unique structure gives a bright prospect in that high energy density and high power density can be achieved simultaneously for Li–S batteries.

Carbon composites with embedded metal/metal oxides represent a group of versatile electrochemical catalysts that has attracted extensive research attention. However, the beauty of this concept is marred by the severe carbon evaporation and the aggregation of metal species during their synthetic process, leading to the diminishment in active sites and catalytic durability. To address this issue, this study demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing Al2O3 nanolayer to trap volatile carbon and nitrogen species and alleviate the aggregation of Co species during the pyrolysis of the Zn/Co‐ZIFs (ZIF = zeolitic imidazolate framework). With the confinement effect of an Al2O3 nanolayer, the derived Co3O4‐embedded N‐doped porous carbon grown on carbon cloth presents outstanding bifunctional catalytic activity with a small potential difference of 787 mV between the half‐wave potential of the oxygen reduction reaction and an overpotential at 10 mA cm−2 of the oxygen evolution reaction. More impressively, an advanced flexible rechargeable zinc–air battery in all‐solid‐state configuration is assembled, which achieves the maximum power density of 72.4 mW cm−3 and good cycling stability. The insights produced in this work will provide guidance for the rational design of metal/carbon hybrid catalysts and low‐cost renewable energy systems.
