Authors: Xu Xiang , Zhang Yilun , Wang Yuan , Wang Dan , Wang Wei
Published: June 2024

In order to establish a high-precision digital automotive climatic wind tunnel,
consider the influence of wind tunnel structure on automotive CFD simulation,
study the thermal flow field characteristics of automobiles in climatic wind
tunnels, and create a detailed digital model of the climatic wind tunnel using
CFD method. The simulation model was established based on the actual climatic
wind tunnels and vehicles, taking into account the structure of the climatic
wind tunnels, the equipment in the test section, the boundary layer suction, and
other interferences on the automotive. The simulation results are compared with
wind speed in front and altitude direction, surface pressure of the vehicle, and
underhood components’ temperature measurements in the climatic wind tunnel. Good
agreement is observed confirming that the simulation model can accurately
predict the thermal flow field characteristics of automobile in the climatic
wind tunnel. The study shows that the integration of the climatic wind tunnel
model in the automotive CFD simulation can improve the accuracy of the thermal
flow field, which can reduce the climatic wind tunnel tests in the development
of the project, reduce the development cost of the whole vehicle, and shorten
the development cycle.

Authors: Holik Michael , Davidson Patricia
Published: June 2024

Purpose: Research has shown students in general do better throughout their post-secondary education if they participated in a First Year Experience (FYE) course. Research questions whether first-year students peform better in face-to-face, online, or blended courses. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of first-year health science students in online and blended learning environments and self-regulation, in a FYE course. Methods: The study utilized educational design and research tools designed to create and improve teaching and learning practices. For the design of the learning environment, analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) was implemented. Action-based research (ABR) was utilized for analyzing and improving instructional practices. A survey adapted to evaluate self-regulation was used to evaluate perceptions of self-regulation, goal setting, environment, task strategies, time management, help seeking, and self-evaluation and students’ perceptions of instructional modality. Results: A total of 657 students (online n=295 and blended n=362) consented and participated in the study. Majority of online participants (90%) somewhat agreed to strongly agreed in being efficient in goal setting compared to the blended group at 87%. In the area of environment for studying, 95% of online participants reported having a comfortable, distraction-free environment as compared to the blended group (85%). For the category of learning environment (online vs. blended), 94% of online participants reported being comfortable, compared to 85% in the blended. There was low confidence identified among participants (63%) in the categories of time management, environment, help seeking, and task strategies. Conclusions: Ways to help students improve and expand their self-regulation skills should be developed in the early years of higher education. The study revealed students were not accessing supplemental resources to aid their learning. Therefore, faculty may need to consider streamlining the supplemental resources made available to students, utilizing the ADDIE model to evaluate their course. Increasing faculty and peer face time, could improve self-regulation skills and make students feel a stronger connection to the learning process and potentially overall academic success.

Reducing the Gap: A Phenomenological Study of Student-Faculty Interaction Experiences of International Students in Korea
Authors: Thibault Natalie
Published: June 2024

This phenomenological study explored lived experiences of student-faculty interactions of undergraduate international students in Korea, in a higher education context where direct contacts between professors and students are infrequent. Guided by Astin’s theory of student involvement, the study investigated students’ experiences of direct interaction with faculty members, inside and outside the classroom. Seventeen foreign students participated in semi-structured interviews, during which they shared experiences, recollections, and perceptions of direct interactions with professors. Participants explained how certain factors, such as professor demographics, language proficiency or means of instruction, influenced the quality and frequency of interactions. They also expressed a clear desire to reduce the distance with faculty and connect beyond course-related content. Through the lens of Astin’s I-E-O model, findings reveal how the Korean higher education environment, including professor demographics, means of instruction, language, and power dynamics, have the most impact on student-faculty interaction experiences for international students. Such results address a gap in the literature and may inform administrators and faculty efforts towards genuine internationalization of Korean higher education, of which international student recruitment is a crucial element.
Daughters of the Diaspora: Using Autoethnography to Interrogate Impositions of Cultural Conformity
Authors: Wake Rose , Southcott Jane , Gindidis Maria
Published: June 2024

In this collaborative autoethnography, I (Rose) discuss my personal experience with cultural transmission as cultural conformity. As a cultural hybrid and a daughter of a southern Italian proxy bride I share my narratives with a daughter of a Greek proxy bride (Maria). We find confluences in our experiences and understandings that suggest we are Daughters of the Diaspora. We may not be unique. Using a shared autoethnographical approach between ourselves and a collaborator (Jane), we construct and critique vignettes that capture and interrogate our understandings. This study offers a potential model for further inquiry by women who are daughters of migrant parents and who may have had similar experiences of the impositions of cultural conformity. This study is situated in Australia, but as global citizens, it behoves us in terms of social inclusion and social equity to recognise who our people are, the different way which people came to new countries and how that impacts the generations that follow them.

Authors: M Samuel , J N. Suresh Kumar , Sk Mujubur Rehman , S Sathvika , V Anasuya Vibhavari , Y Vyshnavi , P Siva Prasad
Published: June 2024

Asava, a traditional formulation in Ayurveda, is renowned for its superior preservation and enhanced therapeutic efficacy. This phenomenon is largely attributed to the intricate process of fermentation facilitated by a consortium of microbes. Microbial activity not only extends the shelf-life of Asava but also transforms its constituent ingredients into potent therapeutics through biotransformation. The alcohol-aqueous milieu generated during fermentation not only preserves the formulation but also facilitates improved drug delivery within the body. This milieu, predominantly produced by microbial action, acts as a medium for the potentization of drugs, enhancing their bioavailability and efficacy. Moreover, the biotransformation mediated by native microbes leads to the synthesis of novel compounds with enhanced therapeutic properties, thereby elevating the overall efficacy of Asava. The preservative properties inherent in these formulations, coupled with microbial-mediated potentization, underscore the significance of microbial fermentation in augmenting the therapeutic potential of Asava in Ayurveda.

Published: June 2024

В работе исследуется проблема обучения персонала по пожарной безопасности в родильных домах с учетом специфики пациентов (рожениц). Рассматриваются особенности поведения и передвижения, связанные с состоянием беременных женщин и матерей после родов, а также онлайн-обучения беременных женщин, находящихся в учреждении здравоохранения. Как показывают случаи пожаров для рожениц и новорожденных при их эвакуации необходимы дополнительные мероприятия, связанные с перевозкой в иные лечебные учреждения, обеспечением вещами первой необходимости. Общая безопасность пациенток и детей в родильных отделениях должна быть приоритетной задачей любого учреждения здравоохранения. В результате исследования выявлено, что основными причинами пожаров в родильных является аварийный режим работы электрических сетей и оборудования, неосторожное обращение с огнем. Предложены мероприятия по обучению руководителей организации, ответственных по пожарной безопасности и пациентов данных учреждений.

Authors: Gai Robert , Omuya Jacqueline
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This research aims to examine the impact of job analysis on employee performance in the private hospitals of Kisii County. Even though the hiring procedures in these hospitals are strict, some of the employees working in these hospitals have been found to be performing poorly and have various challenges such as low morale, high turnover rate and poor performance.
Methodology: The study adopted the use of a cross-sectional descriptive survey which was used to collect detailed information about he under-study issue, the practice of job analysis and its impact on worker productivity in Kisii County hospitals. The researcher adopted a descriptive study design, and the data for the study was collected from 108 healthcare professionals and administrators from different private hospitals in Kisii County. The collected data was then analysed using SPSS Version 24. The results were then represented tables and graphs for easy analysis. Descriptive and inferential statistics highlighted the effects of job analysis on employees’ performance.
Results: The results of the study indicate that external recruitment excels with the highest mean score as can be seen by the respondents who view it as being highly effective. This is drawn from the different scores related to different study items. For instance, the mean score for job analysis was 3.78 which indicates that most respondents agreed that job analysis had a positive impact on job performance. Internal recruitment also recorded a mean score of 3.52 and a standard deviation of 1.05. On external recruitment, the scores were a 4.21 mean with a standard deviation of 0.87 which showed a very small variation in the answer spread. Lastly, employee performance scored a mean of 3.95 which indicated that employees were perceived to be running at high level based on the feedback provided. Firms that used both internal and external sources of recruitment had higher productivity than those that relied on internal sources only. However, there are some limitations such as the use of self-reported data may bring in some bias.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Based on the study results, the researcher makes the following recommendations to the hospitals administration. First, there is need to undertake routine and comprehensive job analysis by companies to ensure that the company has competent employees. Secondly, the involving of employees in job analysis has numerous advantages and job satisfaction. Lastly, the researcher hypothesises that capacity building of HR employees significantly improves on the quality of job analysis. Similarly, to hospitals in Kisii County, the researcher recommends the adoption of job analysis to improve on their manpower.
Enhanced Financial Reporting for Unfunded Obligations in the US Economy
Authors: Adeboye Elisha , Labisi Gbemisola , Ekere Victor
Published: June 2024

This article looks at the critical need for better financial reporting on unfunded obligations in the federal government of the United States’ budgeting and accounting processes. A more comprehensive view is offered by financial records like the yearly Financial Report of the United States Government (FRUSG) published by the U.S. Treasury, which includes incurred debts and undeclared promises. Actions to alleviate the long-term financial discrepancy can be prompted by including these estimates into the regular budget decision-making procedures. The paper highlights the need of openness in future spending by examining particular cases of undisclosed liabilities and contrasting federal cash-based bookkeeping with accrual accounting methods used by public companies. Therefore, the article proposes an improved reporting framework that promotes responsible financial management, urging decision-makers to make informed decisions about the nation’s financial health by carefully examining crucial components and consulting experts on government accounting principles.
OS CRIMES VIRTUAIS SOB A LUZ DA LEGISLAÇÃO BRASILEIRA
Authors: Rodrigues da Silva Ludmila
Published: June 2024

O presente estudo tem como abordagem o marco civil da internet e as tratativas sobre os crimes virtuais (cybercrimes), compreendendo como a lei surgiu e quais foram suas contribuições para o ordenamento jurídico. Atualmente, a comunicação mundial tem sido considerada por meio da interação digital, e a internet, que é maior rede que interliga meios de comunicações e usuários mundialmente, pode trazer benefícios, mas também causar malefícios tanto para a vida pessoal, como profissional e judicial. Nessa sociedade, para expressar a opinião ou invadir a privacidade de outrem, é preciso seguir regras e padrões estabelecidos, para não discorrer na prática ilícita no meio digital. Dessa forma, este artigo visa enfatizar os crimes virtuais e digitais e seus aspectos, bem como dispor da legislação vigente referente ao assunto e a penalidade destes delitos. O presente trabalho utilizou a revisão bibliográfica como metodologia, tendo como fonte de consulta uma variedade  literária relacionada ao tema estudado, tais como o uso de artigos, livros e teses sobre o tema. Constatou-se que a legislação brasileira busca adaptar-se aos desafios da era digital, especialmente no combate às fake news e crimes cibernéticos. Espera-se entender sobre a importância de se tratar do tema, já que é frequente a incidência de  crimes praticados na internet ou por meio dela, considerados crimes cibernéticos, os quais também são tratados e têm uma atenção especial por parte do âmbito legislativo e penal.

Pioneers of the Field: South Africa’s Women Anthropologists, livro do historiador sul-africano Andrew Banks, é uma obra que relaciona história da antropologia e relações de gênero a partir da constituição da antropologia principalmente na África do Sul. O livro, ainda inédito em português, reúne um minucioso trabalho de análise de documentos e da trajetória pessoal e profissional de seis antropólogas que atuaram principalmente na primeira metade do século XX no país. A despeito das contribuições institucionais e acadêmicas de seus trabalhos, estas antropólogas permaneceram silenciadas frente à atuação de seus colegas homens do mesmo período. Dessa forma, o trabalho de Banks nos ajuda a ir além de um simples reconhecimento dessas trajetórias particulares, nos estimulando a refletir sobre os mecanismos de consagração e silenciamento na constituição das histórias oficiais da antropologia e de como podemos desenvolver uma historiografia da disciplina mais atenta a esses mecanismos.

A partir da realização de exercícios de iniciação etnográfica, realizados por estudantes do primeiro período do Curso de Ciências Sociais da Universidade Federal Fluminense, descrevemos e refletimos sobre as possibilidades e limitações do fazer etnográfico em tempos de pandemia e ensino remoto. Especificamente, discutimos as oportunidades de treinar a observação participante através do exercício de estranhamento dofamiliar, tanto no sentido do mundo cotidiano quanto, literalmente, das relações com a própria família. Acreditamos que a pandemia impôs um cenário que aguçou as capacidades de refletir sobre nossos universos próximos, porém em um contexto inédito. Por fim, trazemos uma experiência de escrita coletiva entre docente e estudantes no âmbito do ensino de Antropologia.
Uma questão de gosto?
Authors: Pols Jeannette , Limburg Sarah
Published: June 2024

Embora as pessoas frequentemente se refiram à qualidade de vida e haja uma respeitável tradição de pesquisa para estabelecê-la, o significado do termo não é claro. Neste artigo, estudamos qualitativamente um procedimento médico cujos efeitos quantitativos são documentados como incertos. Fazemos isso para aprender mais sobre o significado do termo qualidade de vida quando estudado na vida cotidiana. Com a ajuda desses achados, refletimos sobre os meandros de objetivar e medir a qualidade de vida usando desenhos de pesquisa quantitativa. Nosso caso de análise é o da sonda de gastrostomia para pacientes com Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica, uma grave doença do neurônio motor que, rápida e progressivamente, incapacita os pacientes. Estudamos como alguns pacientes, que viviam nos Países Baixos, anteciparam e viveram com uma sonda de gastrostomia no curso de sua deterioração física. Nossa análise mostra que a qualidade de vida relacionada à sonda de gastrostomia deve ser entendida como um processo e não como um resultado. A sonda torna-se uma coisa diferente à medida que os pacientes transitam pelas várias fases de sua doença, devido a mudanças em sua condição, circunstâncias de vida, preocupações e valores. Existem apreciações muito distintas relativas à maneira como a sonda de gastrostomia modifica a aparência e a sensação do corpo. Alguns pacientes recusam o procedimento, porque sentem que desfigura o corpo, enquanto outros são indiferentes aos efeitos em sua aparência. Nossa conclusão é que essas diferenças são difíceis de compreender a partir de estudos quantitativos, porque “questões de gosto” e valores não são distribuídas em uma população da mesma forma que respostas fisiológicas a algum medicamento. Estudos de efeito assumem que respostas fisiológicas sejam mais ou menos as mesmas para todos, com diferenças apenas graduais. Nossa análise da qualidade na vida cotidiana, no entanto, mostra que o que um tratamento vem a ser e como ele é valorizado abarca generalidades para subgrupos e não para populações.

Ao declarar a Biomedicina como o seu contradiscurso apolítico, as teorias sociais, incluindo os estudos da deficiência, encontram problemas ao discutir os corpos e os seus padecimentos. Este artigo explora as possibilidades de “trazer os corpos de volta” de formas politicamente relevantes, ao mesmo tempo que evita reduzi-los a “dados” singulares e naturais. Isto é feito explorando algumas das práticas em que pessoas com Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC) tentam viver com a sua doença crônica e em conjunto com outras. Torna-se claro que o que elas experienciam como problemas físicos e sociais importantes são a invisibilidade da sua doença, combinada com a visibilidade dos recursos utilizados para lidar com os seus problemas. Esta combinação leva a comportamentos incompreensíveis para os outros. Demonstra-se que alguma forma de presença da doença é necessária para criar posições sociais que permitam aos doentes viver com os outros de uma forma aceitável. O artigo prossegue explorando formas em que os corpos são tornados presentes de modo proveitoso. Estas encontram-se onde as pessoas com DPOC: (1) criam comunidades de corpos partilhados que permitem uma multiplicidade de presenças visíveis e invisíveis de DPOC; (2) desenvolvem formas de educar os seus corpos de diferentes maneiras para criar novas presenças; (3) utilizam os seus corpos como fontes de conhecimento sobre viver com falta de ar; e (4) criam corpos transportáveis para levar presenças de DPOC para outros lugares, utilizando o argumento da “demonstração por números”, do passar do tempo e do descarte das características excepcionais dos seus corpos e de suas situações. O artigo conclui com uma discussão sobre as possibilidades relativamente inexploradas de criar e partilhar “conhecimentos do paciente” e sobre as áreas que isto abre para uma nova política de inclusão social.

Participating in sports is essential for young people's life skills development. Adults are engaged in sports in the same ways that young people are—to maintain good health, enhance their interactions with others, and enhance their abilities (Cihan and Ilgar, 2019). Sports help young people develop their physical talents, and everyone who frequently participates in a sport appreciates the value of fitness and training in terms of how well they perform. This study's objective was to look into the level of sports commitment, training motivation, and athletic performance, probe the relationship between the athletes' level of sports commitment, training motivation, sports commitment, and athletic performance, and level of training motivation and athletic performance, and examine the predictive ability of the level of sports commitment, and training motivation, taken singly or in combination, of the level of athletic performance of NCAA players in the University of Perpetual Help System, Laguna. The findings revealed that the Athletes’ level of sports commitment along with personal goals, coach impact, and time and effort was “very high”, while the respondents’ level of sports commitment along with intrinsic and extrinsic was “very high”. On the other hand, the respondents’ level of athletic performance along with self-confidence, athletic ability, and, emotional ability was “very high”.  In addition, the athlete’s level of sports commitment in terms of time and effort, was significant to the level of training motivation in terms of intrinsic, respectively. In terms of respondents’ level of sports commitment in terms of coach impact was correlated to their level of athletic performance in terms of self-confidence, athletic ability, and emotional ability. It implied that these indicators had a substantial impact on athletes' performance. It is expected that this study could help establish and maintain a commitment to sports and motivation to achieve a high level of athletic performance.

Ethical and moral perspectives on contextual particularities in principals’ work in structurally disadvantaged areas. Metropolitan Swedish cities experience consequences of segregation and challenges in providing equality in education as part of an equitable national welfare. Drawing attention to elementary schools in structurally disadvantaged areas, this study focuses ethical and moral perspectives on principals’ work and leadership in relation to contextual particularities. Findings are based on an empirical set of 15 semi-structured group conversations with 20 principals. In their day-to-day work and leadership principals balance a generalized norm of judicial and institutional requirements with contextual particularities emanating from structurally disadvantaging structures. Wider ethical intentions, characterized as social justice ambitions to level out inequalities and achieve emancipatory goals for every student, are at core when principals consider multiple perspectives in processes of handling contextual particularities. Resultingly, an ethical school leadership come through with principals as moral agents and subjects. However, also ethically mindful and morally experienced principals need supportive institutional accountability in line with local needs and adjusted to local particularities.

Superintendent in Municipal adult edcuation - Between Politics and Principal in the Governance Chain. Swedish education policy often emphasises that the superintendent, in the form of the representative for the municipality authority, must take more responsibility for the quality of education. This also applies to municipal adult education (MAE), a form of schooling that differs from the rest of the school system regarding governance. However, there has been limited research conducted on it. Based on Bacchi’s (2009) WPR approach, this study scrutinises how governance is produced in superintendent’s talk about their relationship with the principal and politics. Delegated steering is supported by two different logics of responsibility and economics. The superintendent’s duties and responsibilities are often emphasised, and reference is made to the chain of command. Responsibility is partially shifted to the principal and/or politicians in certain municipalities. This affects the superintendent’ discretion and has both direct and indirect effects on the education offered by the municipality, ultimately impacting the students as well.
