Separate Remains Unequal: Contemporary Segregation and Racial Disparities in School District Revenue
Authors: Weathers Ericka S. , Sosina Victoria E.
Published: February 2022

Resource exposure was a key mechanism linking patterns of racial segregation and student outcomes during the Brown v. Board of Education era. Decades later, past progress on school desegregation may have stalled, raising concerns about resource equity and associated student outcomes. Are recent trends in segregation associated with racial disparities in district revenue? Drawing on national data from the School Funding Fairness Data System and the Common Core of Data, this study examines the association between contemporary patterns of segregation between districts within a state and racial disparities in school district revenue over time. We find that increases in racial segregation, net of racial socioeconomic segregation, and other racial differences between districts are associated with racial disparities in revenue.

Published: February 2022

Antropologi secara etimologis berasal dari bahasa Yunani. Kata Anthropos berartimansia danlogos berarti ilmu pengetahuan. Jadi, antropologi adalah ilmu yang mempelajari manusia. Olehkarena itu antropologi di dasarkan pada kemajuan yang telah dicapai ilmu pengetahunasebelumnya. Pitirim Sorokim mengatakan bahwa Sosiologi adalah suatu ilmu yang mempelajarihubungan dan pengaruh timbal balik antara aneka macam gejala-gejala sosial (gejala ekonomidengan agama, keluarga dengan moral, hukum dengan ekonomi) dengan gejala lainnya(nonsosial). Berbeda dengan pendapat Rouceke dan Warren yang mengatakan bahwa Sosiologiadalah ilmu yang mempelajari hubungan manusia dengan kelompok-kelompok. Berdasarkanuraian di tersebut, maka Sosiologi adalah jelas merupakan ilmu sosial yang objeknya adalahmasyarakat sebagai ilmu. Ia berdiri sendiri karena telah memiliki unsur ilmu pengetahuan.Dalam ilmu antropologi hukum dipelajari juga mengenai Peran, Status atau kedudukan, Nilai,Norma dan juga Budaya atau kebudayaan. Kesemuanya ini merupakan hal-hal yang sangat eratkaitannya dengan ilmu antropologi hukum.
Elevated HPDL expression distinguishes basal-like human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: February 2022

Patients diagnosed with basal-like breast cancer face a more aggressive disease course and more dismal prognosis than patients diagnosed with luminal A and luminal B breast cancer molecular subtypes (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to understand in an unbiased fashion the most distinguishing transcriptional features of tumors from patients with basal or basal-like subtype breast cancer. We observed transcriptome-wide differential expression of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase like, HPDL, when comparing tumors of patients with basal-like breast cancer with that of other PAM50 molecular subtypes. HPDL mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in the tumors of patients with basal-like breast cancer. Analysis of patient survival data revealed that HPDL primary tumor expression was correlated with overall survival in patients with breast cancer. Elevated HPDL expression appears to distinguish basal-like human breast cancer from the other molecular subtypes.

Published: February 2022

Adoption of plant-based diets is one of the most impactful ways individuals can reduce carbon emissions, helping to mitigate climate change. People attach different degrees of importance to the attributes of their food, such as taste, environmental impact, and health considerations. Identifying key motivators and barriers to adopting plant-based diets, and how these differ among different groups, can inform campaigns to increase plant-based diets. Here, we identify three consumer groups using a nationally representative survey in the United States: Motivated, Health-conscious, and Uninterested. The groups significantly differ in their willingness to incorporate plant-based foods in their diet. Members of the Motivated group are strongly motivated by health, environmental, and ethical considerations, members of the Health-conscious are primarily motivated by health, and members of the Uninterested are not motivated to eat plant-based foods. We provide a four-question survey that can be used to identify these groups and empirically evaluate communication campaigns.

The Open Pesticide Transition Library (oPestTL)
Authors: Orsburn Benjamin C
Published: February 2022

The identification of pesticide residues is a critical application in environmental and food safety analysis. The most common methods for pesticide residue detection and quantification are performed with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS) using instruments with varying architectures and characteristics. Pesticides have diverse structural and elemental compositions and often require laborious instrument-specific user optimization to identify ideal adducts and fragment ions. The Open Pesticide Transition Library (oPestTL) is an effort to compile the most comprehensive list of pesticide ion targets and fragments to facilitate the rapid development of screening methods for any LCMS hardware configuration. While a work that must inevitably evolve, the oPestTL library release detailed here contains over 4,000 individual transitions spread across seven separate LCMS platforms making it the largest openly available collection of pesticide methods ever assembled.
THE EXISTENCE OF SHIVA IN LONTAR PURWAKA BHUMI

The Hinduism in Bali is dominantly influenced by Shiva Siddhanta that regards Lord Siwa as the ultimate reality. This is, of course, different from the concept of Hinduism in India which mostly influenced by the Upanishads that regard Brahman as the supreme reality. The existence of Shiva as the highest and the ultimate amongst the gods can be found in most of the lontars in Bali, one of them is Lontar Purwaka Bhumi
The south-verging Isortoq Nappe of Baffin Island, Canada: implications on the framework of the northeastern Trans-Hudson Orogen
Authors: Saumur Benoit , Johnston Stephen , Skipton Diane , St-Onge Marc
Published: February 2022

The Isortoq Shear Zone (ISZ), a 100km-scale structure in northern Baffin Island, was originally identified through the interpretation of regional geophysical surveys. In the field the ISZ is cryptic, and its significance ambiguous with respect to the regional structural framework of northern Baffin Island. Mapping along the ISZ and within the spatially associated Archean Isortoq and Eqe Bay greenstone belts shows that the two belts form one continuous folded supracrustal package deformed by nappe tectonics likely during the early Paleoproterozoic Trans-Hudson Orogeny. The northern NE-striking, moderately SE-dipping Isortoq belt is structurally thinned, metamorphosed, sheared (by the ISZ) and overturned, with strata younging down-section to the NW. In contrast, the southern NE-striking, steeply dipping Eqe Bay belt is structurally thickened, comparatively less metamorphosed, exhibits weaker deformation, and stratigraphically youngs to the SE. New mapping and available geophysical data show that the two belts are folded around a hinge zone located offshore to the SW, and together form an asymmetric synformal anticline. Structural and stratigraphic relationships are consistent with the fold forming part of the lower limb of a map-scale southeast-verging nappe, with the ISZ formed at the base of this nappe as a consequence of horizontal transport. The Isortoq Nappe occurs along strike with SW-verging Rinkian nappes exposed >200 km to the NE, on Baffin Island and in Greenland. This implies that south-verging tectonics during the THO, opposed to and predating the dominant N-verging nappes of the Foxe Fold Belt, are more important in spatial extent than previously considered.

Families transmit genes and environments across generations. When parents’ genetics affect their children’s environments, these two modes of inheritance can become linked in an “indirect genetic effect.” Such indirect genetic effects may, through bias, account for up to half of the estimated genetic variance in educational attainment. We tested if indirect genetic effects on educational attainment reflect within-nuclear-family transmission (“genetic nurture”) or instead a multi-generational process of social stratification (“dynastic effects”). We analyzed indirect genetic effects on children’s academic achievement in their 5th-9th years of schooling in N=37,117 parent-offspring trios in the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study (MoBa). We used analysis of pairs of genetically-related families (parents were siblings, children were cousins; N=10,913) to distinguish within-nuclear-family genetic-nurture effects from dynastic effects shared by cousins in different nuclear families. We found that indirect genetic effects on children’s educational achievement were explained primarily by dynastic effects.
Faktorenstruktur und Validierung einer Kurzversion des Fragebogens zur Erfassung von therapiebezogenen Einstellungen (TBE-SV) im Straf- und Maßregelvollzug

Published: February 2022

Die Therapiemotivation von straffällig gewordenen Personen ist ein komplexes Konstrukt und gilt gemeinhin als wichtige Voraussetzung für eine erfolgreiche Behandlung. Dennoch mangelt es derzeit an reliablen und validen Messinstrumenten. Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit der motivationalen Komponente der Therapieeinstellung und untersuchte eine Kurzversion des Fragebogens zur Erfassung von therapiebezogenen Einstellungen (TBE-SV) in einer männlichen Stichprobe des Straf- und Maßregelvollzugs (n = 496). Die fünf Faktoren des TBE-SV (Therapievertrauen, Misstrauen in Therapeut_innen, Therapieabwehr, Stigma- und Öffnungsängstlichkeit) konnten mit Hilfe einer konfirmatorischen Faktorenaanalyse und einem explorativen Strukturgleichungsmodell weitestgehend repliziert werden. Die Subskalen Stigma- und Öffnungsängstlichkeit wiesen niedrige Reliabilitätskoeffizienten auf, die Werte für die verbleibenden Subskalen sowie den Gesamtwert waren akzeptabel. Festgestellt werden konnten bedeutsame Alters- und Bildungseffekte, wonach ältere Probanden und jene mit höherem Bildungsniveau positivere Theapieeinstellungen aufwiesen. Gruppenunterschiede zwischen den Probanden des Straf- und Maßrelvollzugs bezüglich der Werte im TBE-SV fanden sich hingegen nicht. Es kann daher geschlussfolgert werden, dass der TBE-SV, der ursprünglich für Personen im Strafvollzug konzipiert wurde, auch für die Anwendung im Maßregelvollzug geeignet ist. Schließlich unterstreichen die korrelativen Analysen mit diversen Selbstbeurteilungsfragebögen die konvergente und diskriminante Validität des TBE-SV.
Original or fake? Value attributed to text-based archives generated by artificial intelligence.
Authors: Darda Kohinoor Monish , Carré Marion , Cross Emily S.
Published: February 2022

Openly available natural language generation (NLG) algorithms can generate human-like texts across multiple domains. Given the increasing potential of NLG algorithms, many ethical challenges arise such as being used as a tool for misinformation. It is necessary to understand not just how these texts are generated from an algorithmic point of view, but also how they are evaluated by a general audience. In the current study, our aim was to shed light on how people react to texts generated algorithmically, whether they are indistinguishable from original (human-generated) texts, and the value people assign these texts in a rapidly automated world. Using original text-based archives, and fake text-based archives generated by artificial intelligence (AI), findings from our pre-registered, statistically powered study (N=228) revealed that people assigned lower values to archives that were AI-generated compared to original archives. Although participants were unable to accurately distinguish between AI generated and original archives, original archives were more likely to be preserved than AI-generated archives. This bias against AI archives persisted when people were aware of the archive’s source and when they were not, as well as when they categorised the archive as AI-generated (even though it may not be). People’s judgements of value were also influenced by their attitudes toward AI. These findings provide a richer understanding of how the emergent practice of automated text content creation alters the practices of readers and writers alike and have implications for how readers’ attitudes toward AI affect the use and value of AI-based applications and creations.
Competence to thrive: resilience as an indicator of positive health and positive welfare in animals
Authors: Colditz Ian
Published: February 2022

New phenotyping methods are revealing resilience of animals to fluctuations in their environment. Resilience describes normativity of physiological, behavioural and production performance irrespective of actual production level and provides insight into the animal’s experience of its personal environment. An ability of the animal to realise its potential is built on inherited and acquired competences that confer environmental mastery. Competence to cope minimises harms. Competence to thrive recognized as resilience indicates eudaimonic wellbeing and supports positive health and positive welfare outcomes.
What to expect when you learn to expect: temporal expectations as a perceptual learning process
Authors: shdeour orit , Tal-Perry Noam , Glickman Moshe , Yuval-Greenberg Shlomit
Published: February 2022

The formation of temporal expectations depends on prior experience with temporal regularities over-time, but its link with perceptual learning processes has never been investigated. In this study, we employed a novel approach for studying temporal expectations as a learning process, by examining how prior experience with certain temporal dynamics affects the ability to form new expectations. Our findings reveal that participants, who were initially exposed to a fixed temporal routine, showed a performance decline and a reduced ability to adapt when this routine was changed. In contrast, participants who were initially presented with a random routine showed higher performance and quick adaptation following a change. Corroborated with eye-tracking and computational modeling, these findings suggest that forming temporal expectations is based on learning of a specific temporal rule which cannot be easily unlearned or generalized. This is first-time evidence that the formation of temporal expectation follows the principles of perceptual learning.
From Documents to Data: A Framework for Total Corpus Quality
Authors: Hurtado Bodell Miriam , Magnusson Måns , Mützel Sophie
Published: February 2022

As large corpora of digitized text and novel methodologies become increasingly available, researchers are rediscovering textual data’s potential fruitfulness for inquiries into social and cultural phenomena. While textual corpora show great promise to enrich our knowledge of the social, avoiding problems related to data quality remains a challenge to related empirical research. Hence, evaluating the quality of a corpus will be pivotal for future social science inquiries. We propose a conceptual framework for total corpus quality incorporating three important dimensions—total corpus error, corpus comparability, and corpus reproducibility—impacting the validity and reliability of inferences drawn from textual data. This framework provides insights toward evaluating and improving studies based on large-scale textual analyses. We employ a case study to exemplify and discuss how researchers can identify and measure the three proposed quality dimensions for any given corpus.
Steuerung von evolutionärer Veränderung? Anregungen einer Kybernetik zweiter Ordnung zur einzelschulischen Entwicklung
Authors: Goldmann Daniel
Published: February 2022

Das fortwährende Auseinanderfallen von Reform- und Steuerungserwartungen auf der einen und der Realität in der schulischen Praxis auf der anderen Seite, das sich auch in den Studien zu den Wirkungen „Neuer Steuerung“ zeigt, wird in diesem Beitrag nicht der Praxis als unzureichende Reformbemühungen zugeschrieben, sondern als Mangel an ausreichend komplexen theoretischen Beschreibungs- und Erklärungsmöglichkeiten verstanden. Als zentrales Moment hin zu einer höheren Komplexität in der Theorie wird der Wechsel von einer Kybernetik erster zu einer Kybernetik zweiter Ordnung gesehen. Dieser führt zu einer Relativierung von Wissen und zu einer Reflexivität der eigenen Perspektivierung. Die theoretischen Setzungen einer Kybernetik zweiter Ordnung und die daraus folgende andersartige Beschreibung sozialer Praxis werden in diesem Beitrag am Beispiel der einzelschulischen Entwicklung ausgeführt und auf die Folgen für die Begleitung und politisch-administrative Steuerung von Schulentwicklung hin befragt.

In diesem Beitrag werden die Anlage und die Unterstützungsstrukturen der in Hamburg angebotenen schulinternen Evaluation mit KESS vorgestellt, und es wird anhand der Erfahrungen des Evaluationsteams exemplarisch aufgezeigt, in welcher Variationsbreite das längsschnittlich normierte Instrumentarium aus der Hamburger Schulleistungsstudie Kompetenzen und Einstellungen von Schülerinnen und Schülern (KESS) von Einzelschulen zu Zwecken der eigenverantwortlichen Schul- und Unterrichtsentwicklung genutzt wird. Die Erhebung primärer Daten mit dem KESS-Instrumentarium ermöglicht es, viele schulspezifische Fragestellungen in vielfältigen Evaluationsdesigns zu bearbeiten. Die Schulen folgen bei der Datennutzung häufig der kybernetischen Vorstellung einer funktionalen Optimierung bestehender Routinen. Den Schulen wird aber auch eine grundlegende Veränderung der Prozessmuster durch ein spezifisches Feedback des externen Evaluationsteams an schulische Akteure eröffnet, das die Rückmeldung von Kompetenz- und Einstellungsdaten von Schüler*innen mit einer gemeinsamen Interpretation dieser Ergebnisse verknüpft. Insbesondere die im Zuge dieser Interpretation erfolgende Kontextualisierung von Daten zum Output mit qualitativen Prozessdaten und dem Erfahrungswissen von Lehrkräften markiert den Kern einer wissenschaftlichen Begleitung von Prozessen des Transfers pädagogischer Prototypen im Sinne einer designbasierten Schulentwicklung.

Computer vision syndrome, a recent occupational hazard, is a collection of features like ‘eye strain’, ‘blurred vision’, ‘redness’, ‘dryness’, ‘headache’, ‘diplopia’ etc. About 50 to 90% of the regular computer users are affected with these symptoms. Although a number of researches have been carried out, no curative treatment has been achieved yet. Only palliative measures in the form of tear supplements are available which have to be used lifelong by the patients. Hence, aim of this pilot study is to understand the efficacy of ‘lodhradiarkaaschyotana’ in ‘computer vision syndrome’. Here, ten patients were randomly selected and were treated by ‘aschyotana’ with ‘lodhradiarka’.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are two most common neurodegenerative diseases that primarily target the elderly population in society. The global economic and social burden of these neurodegenerative diseases is very high. To date, available treatments for these diseases are based on the neurotransmitter modulation and provide only symptomatic benefit. There is an urgent need to find the more effective treatments which can alter the underlying pathology of neurodegenerative diseases and stop their rising prevalence. Although many disease modifying approaches are under investigation, yet there is no successful candidate in market. Further, the current therapies focus on single target. However, the diseases like AD and PD which have complex pathology can be better controlled if we opt for a multi-targeted approach. In view of this, treatment by plant-derived alkaloids themselves or their derivatives is a promising hope. The aim of this review is to discuss the current progress with respect to clinical research, in development of alkaloids primarily obtained from plants and their derivatives for treatment and delay of these two devastating disorders. Also, the various mechanistic approaches of plant-derived alkaloids are highlighted..

Ancient Ayurvedic scholars has opined, there may not be the nomenclatures of all the diseases in text but such diseases can be managed on the basis of Dauṣika (pathological) concern. To reveal this disease process, Nidāna (cause), Pūrvarūpa (prodermal symptoms), Rūpa (sign and symptoms), Upaśaya (association), Samprāpti (pathogenesis) are regarded as the basic tools for the diagnosis. In present study a case of End stage renal disease, which is an anonyms in the ancient text was managed with Ayurvedic therapy by considering the different stages of the disease. The case was treated with Mahā Tikta ghṛita, Varuṇādi Kaṣāya which acts on Meda vaha srota and Mandāgni. As we know treatment should be given for srota and its root. Root of Meda vaha srota is Vṛkka and Vapāvahanaṁ from where Mūtra is formed. In this case it was observed that after one month of treatment patient was clinically better than before and also in biochemical investigation all parameters were decreased. Study cleared out that before providing treatment for an anonymous disease, diagnosis of case based on Ayurvedic parameters is essential.

Authors: Khanal Abhilasha , Bajracharya Manish , Shrestha Neesha
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Pain may be experienced during the first 3-4 days of fixed Orthodontic appliance activation. The lesser the pain perceived by a patient, better the treatment outcome and the patient compliance. The post separator placement pain increases as soon as 4 hours and gradually increases over the next 24 hours which is worst at the day 2-4. The Aim of the study is to find out the association of post separator placement pain in our population. Also, the study focuses on the use of dose Paracetamol 500gms, by our patients in case of pain.
Materials and Method: Elastomeric separator was placed mesially and distally to the upper right first permanent molar(16) and the kesling separator was placed to the left first permanent molar(26) in 100 orthodontic patients . Patients were given a questionnaire that documented perceived pain, pain on chewing, pain affecting the daily life activities. The patient documented the intake of medication to reduce the pain, if at all. Two different Pain rating scales (PRS) along a line will be used to depict the pain perception. The subjects were asked to circle a spot on the line that they believed best represented the pain they perceived at that time. The evaluation of pain and documentation started on the 4th hour, 24th hrs, 2nd day, 3rd day, 4th day, 5th day, 6th day and the 7th day. Scores 1-3 will be considered as mild pain; 4-6 will be moderate pain and 7-10 is considered to be the severe pain. At every time slot, the pain was documented, there was a spot where the patient has mentioned if he / she used the medication prescribed by the orthodontist.
Results: No association of Kesling separators with Pain on chewing , pain perception and pain affecting life at 4th hour, 24th hour, 2nd day, 3rd day, 4th day, 5th day, 6th day, 7th day post separator placement. Association of Medication with the post separator placement pain also is not significant.
Significant association of elastomeric separators with pain perception and pain affecting life at 4th hour (p= 0.002 & p=0.005), 24th hour (p= 0.002). Significant Association of Medication with the post separator placement pain also is significant at 4th (p=0.00) and 24th hour (p=0.02) of post separator placement.
Conclusion: There is a significant association of elastomeric separators with pain perception and pain affecting life at 4th hour, 24th hour. Significant Association of Medication with the post separator placement pain also is significant at 4th and 24th hour of post separator placement

Published: February 2022

Introduction: Dental age estimation has been performed by numerous methods worldwide. This study was done to evaluate and compare the validity and accuracy of dental age estimation by Demirjian, Nolla and Willems methods in Nepalese children.
Materials and Method: A comparative cross sectional study was conducted on 280 orthopantomography of Nepalese children aged 5-14 years in Kantipur Dental College from December 2020 to September 2021. Dental age was calculated by three methods and difference with chronological age was examined. Descriptive statistics were presented as mean ± SD and median (range). Differences in paired data of chronological and dental ages were examined using Wilcoxon signed rank test. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used for comparing chronological and dental ages. Regression analysis was performed to derive equation for predicting chronological age from dental age.
Results: An underestimation of dental age was observed with Demirjian (-1.17 years), Nolla (-1.06 years) and Willems (-1.32 years) methods which was statistically significant and also across both genders (p<0.001). However, chronological age was found to be highly correlated with dental ages estimated using Demirjian (σ=0.930; p<0.001), Nolla (σ=0.939; p<0.001) and Willems (σ=0.947; p<0.001) methods. Linear regression analysis conducted to predict chronological age showed total variance of 80.8%, 87.7% and 89.5% in boys and 81.7%, 87.7% and 88.4% in girls by Demirjian, Nolla and Willems methods respectively.
Conclusion: This study revealed Demirjian, Nolla and Willems methods can be a valid measure for age estimation among Nepalese children and precise prediction of chronological age can be made from different dental age estimation techniques.
Disleksija u različitim jezicima s obzirom na pismo i ortografsku transparentnost

Disleksija je, prema određenju Međunarodne udruge za disleksiju (International Dyslexia Association), specifična teškoća učenja neurobiološkog podrijetla, koju karakteriziraju teškoće točnog i(li) tečnog prepoznavanja riječi, teškoće pisanja i loše vještine dekodiranja. Prema hipotezi ortografske dubine (Katz i Frost, 1992), usvajanje čitanja i pisanja u nekim je ortografijama lakše i brže (Seymour i sur., 2003) pa se nameće pitanje utječe li to i na obilježja disleksije u različitim jezicima. Cilj je ovog rada dati pregled dijela istraživanja disleksije s obzirom na vrstu pisma i ortografsku transparentnost u alfabetskim jezicima. Također, s navedenim se istraživanjima uspoređuju neka istraživanja disleksije u hrvatskom jeziku, te se daje pregled obilježja disleksije u kineskom jeziku koji koristi logografsko pismo. Svrha je uspoređivanja disleksije u različitim jezicima bolje razumijevanje disleksije i njezinih univerzalnih obilježja, a posljedično bolje i preciznije prepoznavanje disleksije, te stvaranje uspješnih rehabilitacijskih metoda i tehnika.

Authors: Valdés Jesús , Domínguez-Juárez Jorge Luis , Nava Rufino , Cuán Ángeles , Cortés-Romero Carlos Martín
Published: February 2022

Process optimization of multiphase chemical and/or photochemical reactor means a challenge not only at laboratory scale but also while scaling-up is intended towards industrial applications. Using computational tools, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics, is essential to assess transport limitations of the heterogeneous process to verify the kinetic regime while the reaction and the reactor engineering are studied. Computational Fluid Dynamics, together with Genetic Algorithms, has been currently applied to verify fluid behavior and turbulence. The latter device has been self-designed and is planned to be constructed for CO2 reduction. The results of the Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations are presented and discussed, in order to optimize reactor operation of a multi-inlet vortex photoreactor. By considering the catalytic particle features, the residence time distribution in the multi-inlet photoreactor has been verified and optimized.

Дослідження стосується вивчення українського досвіду проведення реконструкції специфічного напряму осягнення дизайн-освіти, а саме: комунікативної сфери як особливого входження у перспективні спроможності розвитку виховних потужностей навчально-педагогічного налаштування актуалізованого повідомлення найвищого мистецького рівня, до якого потрібно підвести молоде покоління майбутніх спеціалістів з дизайну. На вітчизняних теренах таким способом входження до естетичного простору методично-виховних потужностей дизайну зуміли фахово підійти лише двоє дослідників-практиків. Відтак, наші співвітчизники Володимир Томашевський (1968–2021 рр.) та Оксана Фурса розробляли власні підходи щодо представлення планомірного всесвіту дизайну в діапазоні підкорення суперечностей предметного встановлення, передусім самого дизайну.

Authors:   Oleksandr Dovzhenko Hlukhiv National Pedagogical University, Tiulpa Tetiana
Published: February 2022

У статті зроблено спробу осмислення процесу професійної підготовки фахівців у закладах вищої освіти, упровадження нових концептуальних підходів до формування готовності майбутніх фахівців соціономічних спеціальностей до професійної діяльності у контексті компетентнісної парадигми розвитку сучасної освіти. Встановлено, що поняття «готовність до діяльності» розкривається через поняття «компетентність» як найважливішу умову ефективної діяльності особистості, як показник її здібностей, є сукупністю теоретичної і практичної готовності до здійснення фахової діяльності. Обґрунтовано, що реалізація нової парадигми сприятиме подоланню традиційних орієнтацій освіти, актуалізуватиме її діяльнісний складник та приведе до нового бачення змісту, методів та технологій.

Map of scientific research on Communication in Spain: study fronts and rankings of authors, publications and institutions
Authors: Trillo-Domínguez Magdalena , De-Moya-Anegón Félix
Published: February 2022

This work presents a current map of scientific research on Communication in Spain, identifying both the research fronts of the publications with the greatest impact over the last three years (2019–2021) and the authors who led such work and their universities of reference. The original methodology applied herein focuses on an analysis of the cited authors. After a careful selection process, we work with a corpus of more than 800 articles, using Scopus and the VOSviewer software to generate a co-referencing map and throw light on the structure of the Communication field. On the basis of that analysis, we identify nine thematic clusters, with a particular grouping structure, leading authors, and relationships around fields of study such as communication, democracy and power, audiences and media consumption, the media industry, journalistic practice, fact checking and disinformation, journalistic innovation, and SEO journalism. The ranking of cited authors, where Ramón Salaverría and Rasmus K. Nielsen hold equal first position and the Chilean Claudia Mellado is the only woman at the head of a strong group, is put into context by analyzing their scientific production and the normalized impact in Communication of their institutions. The comparative analysis reveals the elite Spanish authors in Communication (Xosé López-García, Ignacio Aguaded, Andreu Casero-Ripollés, Lluís Codina, and Ramón Salaverría) and shows how universities in Madrid maintain their importance in terms of production but that those in Catalunya have the lead in terms of impact. The research is completed with a map of keyword co-occurrence that confirms the barrage of studies around the Covid crisis and the parallel and growing number of hoaxes (fakes). The research confirms the relevance of and opportunity to apply scientometric techniques to the Communication field.
