Authors: Farsani Danyal , Breda Adriana , Sala-Sebastià Gemma
Published: September 2022

Background: The interactions in the classroom are of particular interest to the teaching and learning processes. Objectives: This study examines nonverbal interaction in mathematics classrooms, and how different modes of nonverbal behaviour, contributed to the engagement in lessons. Design: A quantitative study. Setting and Participants: 30 randomly selected students wore mini camera-mounted eyeglasses in their mathematics and English lessons. Approximately 45 hours of video recording were made from these cameras (from a first-person’s perspective) to analyse and compare the nonverbal interaction in mathematics and English lessons. Data collection and analysis: In Google Images, we objectively searched and statistically analysed frames in which the class teachers appeared within the students’ visual field. Results: The results show that how students are visually engaged with the teacher depends on a set of proxemics. Differences were found related to visual attention both regarding the subject matter and the different proxemics of the student in relation to the teacher, pointing out that students are more visually involved with the teachers’ instructions when at a proxemic of 1.20 to 3.70 meters. Furthermore, we report differences between boys and girls and how they are visually engaged in their mathematics classrooms. Conclusions: Finally, we report how teachers pointing gestures can serve as a tool to recapture student’s visual attention in mathematics classrooms.

Authors: ERKOÇ KAPLAN Elif , DOKUZER ÖZTÜRK Leyla
Published: September 2022

In addition to its visual effects, light also has non-visual biological and behavioural effects. Nowadays, human centric lighting that takes into account the visual and non-visual effects of light has gained in importance. However, in this context there is no consensus on the appropriate illuminance and colour temperature of light according to the function. In this study, four static and one dynamic lighting scenarios were designed in a mock-up room in order to investigate the lighting conditions applicable to offices. These scenarios with different illuminances and colour temperatures were compared through surveys and lighting calculations. The research was planned for two separate conditions; long-term and short-term study. Each lighting scenario was applied for two weeks in the long-term study and twenty minutes in the short-term study. In addition to the emotional states of the participants, the lighting conditions were also questioned from various aspects with the questionnaire. Statistical evaluation of the survey data was conducted for both studies and the results supported each other. Cool light colour and high illuminance ensured that the subjects felt more energetic, alert and rested. On the other hand, neutral coloured light was preferred the most in both studies. Among the illuminance alternatives, 500 lx was assessed as low and 1500 lx as high. The most preferred lighting scenario was the option where 1250 lx illumination is provided with neutral coloured light. With the results obtained in this research, data for determining the optimum conditions for integrative lighting are presented.
A Face for My Autobiography: Lucy Grealy and Embodied Vulnerability
Authors: AVERY ANDREA
Published: September 2022

In this reflective essay, Andrea Avery considers how teaching Lucy Grealy’s 1994 Autobiography of a Face in a memoir class functions to cultivate embodied vulnerability among high school seniors. She discusses her own identity as a disabled/chronically ill teacher and how her positioning of and interaction with Grealy’s text invites her students to “see” her body and to use autobiographical writing to see and claim their own bodies. She reflects on the particular challenges she has faced in pursuit of the goal of liberatory educational practice wherein, as theorized by bell hooks, the empowerment of all people in the space depends on the teacher’s willingness to make herself vulnerable alongside her students.

Investigation and Countermeasures of Chinese Physical Education Teachers' Teaching Status under Integration of Sports and Education
Authors: Wei Caiyun , Chen Lu
Published: September 2022

School physical education is an ideal place to improve the physical fitness of young people. In China, school physical education includes
physical education and health education. Physical education teacher is an important factor that influences the quality of school physical
education. This study was based on the government policy of “deepening the comprehensive reform in the field of education”. The purposes were
to investigating the current situation of Chinese physical education teachers’ teaching, providing suggestions and directions for the improvement
of their teaching, and subsequently improving students’ physical health. This study adopted the following methods: literature review, questionnaire
and interview methods. The participants of this study were physical education teachers who were recruited through random sampling across the country.
Interview and questionnaires were conducted at three occasions: before class, during class, and after class. In-depth quantitative and qualitative
analyses were conducted to understand the cognition and teaching status of physical education teachers. Data analysis results showed that teachers’
academic qualifications was positively correlated with their understanding of theoretical knowledge such as curriculum standards (p <
0.05, r = 0.468). For class implementation, only about 23.3% teachers’ teaching practice met the requirement of China’s healthy
physical education curriculum model in term of the amount of physical activity. There was a significant difference between the length of teaching and
the curriculum arrangement (p < 0.01). Finally, for after-school activities, the organization of after-school physical activities
was mainly focusing on sport practices, and varsity team training accounted for 61% of these sport practices. Many different types of reasons were
raised by the teacher about the factors restricting physical exercise after school. Under the background of policies advocating the integration of
sports and education, it is important to raise the professional standards of being a physical education teacher. Current physical education teachers
should learn how to implement the “Chinese Health Sports Curriculum Model”. More professional development opportunities should be provided for physical
education teachers in terms of teaching methods, curriculum development, and after-school physical activity program development. Physical education
teachers should learn the factors that restricts students from participating in after-school physical activities and the strategies to address these restricting factors.
The Training Theory of Chinese University Sports Teams Based on the Complexity Paradigm
Authors: Wang Zeyuan , Zhang Zhendong , Sima Haoxiang
Published: September 2022

Under the background of the integration of sports and education, it is of great significance to deepening the training theory of college sports teams. This research puts forward the necessity of using the complexity paradigm to find a more suitable training theory for college sports teams. The training theory of our country is deeply influenced by the simplicity paradigm. The simplicity paradigm is based on reductionism, which believes that the research object comprises simple addition of single elements, showing a linear relationship. There are many general pieces of training in the training arrangement, the preparation period is too long, the special training is not deepened, and the actual training effect is poor. Lack of a composite coaching team, in addition to training and competition tasks, but also team building and management, too exhausted, no time to delve into training theory. When using traditional sports staging theory to make training arrangements, the student-athletes’ particularity should be taken into consideration. University sports teams are affected by the economy and school development, and the strengths of various sports teams are uneven. Universities with superior resources are in a leading position in major competitions, resulting in a significant gap in competition. The development of training theory should be based on the particularity of student-athlete status. The integration and in-depth development will improve the overall level of competition and enhance the driving force of innovative sports team training theory innovation.

The co-occurrence chart of key words showed that the research hotspots centered on "dance therapy", "psychotherapy", "Parkinson's disease", "autism", "special children", "teenagers", "college students" and "college students". The subjects of dance therapy were mainly special children, teenagers and college students. The diseases of dance therapy focused on "Parkinson's disease", "schizophrenia", "autism", "social anxiety". Timeline analysis chart of key words showed that research subjects experienced trended from "psychotherapy", "autism" to "Parkinson's disease" and "dance decompression". The patients in the study expanded from "college students" and "autistic children" to "teenagers" and "college students". The auxiliary elements of dance therapy experienced the expansion from "dance" to "music" and "art". On the basis of summarizing the experience gained from clinical practice, we should further clarify the operational definition and effect evaluation of dance therapy, and establish a complete and systematic dance analysis system. We should explore how to combine drug therapy with dance therapy, and study the best proportion of the two in the treatment. Under the background of the combination of medicine and sports, we should think about how to promote dance therapy, integrate dance therapy into disease prevention and treatment, and accelerate the advancement of the dance therapy industry.
Comparative Analysis of the Physical Education and Health Curriculum Standards between China and United States from the Perspective of Key Competencies
Authors: Zhang Guyue , Yin Zhihua
Published: September 2022

With the increasing world multipolarization, economic globalization, cultural diversity and social informatization, all countries in the world
have adopted key competencies as an important part of education research. As a programmatic document of physical education in the new century,
physical education and health curriculum standards play an important role in the demonstration and promotion of quality education. The purpose
of this study was to compare the Chinese and United States (US) high school physical education and health curriculum standards from the perspective
of key competencies. Using literature review, this study compared the high school physical education and health curriculum standards between China
and US with five aspects: curriculum nature and concept, curriculum objectives, curriculum content, academic quality, and learning evaluation. The
key competencies connotation of physical education and health curriculum standards in China and US are relatively consistent, both of which centered
on improving and maintaining students' health and well-being, and were multidimensional including aspects of sports ability, sports cognition,
healthy life, social behavior, emotional attitude and values; The standards structure of physical education and health curriculum in China appeared
to be more complete (with specific focus on sports skills), the content scope was more detailed, the learning objectives needed to be more specific,
the learning requirements were clear, but the learning evaluation still needed to be further enriched; The structure of the US physical education
curriculum standards was relatively loose, had clear and multi-level learning goals, high learning requirements, operable evaluation content, with
curriculum content focus on cultivating students' lifelong sports habits. We should firmly implement the guiding ideology of health first, adhere
to the core quality of physical education, and emphasize the parallel relationship among sports ability, healthy behavior and physical education
morality. However, we should not blindly pursue the average development in the specific teaching process. China should pay attention to the evaluation
of physical education learning, further enrich its content, especially the evaluation methods and means of students' internal performance. We should
correctly grasp the principle of "tightening" and "relaxing" when dealing with the key competencies, and attach importance to the on-the-job training
of front-line physical education teachers.
Review of Early Impact of COVID-19 on Indian Agricultural Economy and Disturbances in Food Supply Chains
Authors: Manan T. , Prasanna K.
Published: September 2022

Many economists believe that COVID-19 poses a serious existential crisis for Indian rural communities. Analysis of the performance of the agriculture sector in the last few months reveals that agriculture and allied sectors can give new momentum to the Indian economy. A food crisis is not possible in India. We produce 70 million tonnes of food grain, more than the total national requirement. In the coming Kharif season, the input costs are expected to be higher than usual, but the government of India’s response to mitigate high input costs is encouraging. The major problem is in the food supply chain, which needed serious intervention from stakeholders and state and central government support. Disturbances and disruption in food supply chains have created high transaction costs. The spread of COVID-19 may create irregularity in food supply throughout India as 92% of produce is purchased and consumed. Using trade statistics and survey data gathered through online questionnaires and phone interviews with small-holder farmers, agro-industrial companies, agricultural workers, traders, importers, and consumers. Our findings show significant differences in how COVID-19 and containment measures disrupt supply chains between the modern export-oriented supply chain, which is centered on a few large vertically integrated agro-industrial companies, and the more traditional domestic-oriented supply chain, which includes a large number of small-holder farmers and informal traders — with the former being more resilient to the COVID-19.

In the present digital era, organizations worldwide, including healthcare institutions, are facing several opportunities and challenges in safeguarding and preserving significant data that are essential in the efficient functioning of organizational activities. Organizations have realized and understood the importance of data collection and analysis to influence target achievements and meet futuristic demands. Many small-scale enterprises and start-ups have also initiated decisions to implement technologies that enable a positive long-term impact. Due to these requirements, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) implementation has become a necessity to ensure future sustenance and functionality of existing and growing organizations. The operational activities in the organizational environment are forced to comply with the general data protection regulation policies and framework. The European Union general data protection regulation, which was imposed in May 2018 (European Union General Data Protection Regulation, 2016), has proven to be effective, both within the country’s internal boundaries and globally. However, many organizations are still not familiar with the general data protection regulation compliance policies. The emergence of general data protection regulation has been a recent interest in the activities of various organizational sectors as they are attempting to understand the policies and compliance requirements on the implementation of GDPR applications. The research intends to explore the implications between the GDPR and emerging technologies and suggests various recommendations for organizations to implement and follow the GDPR guidelines that could enhance organizational activities.

Authors: Virdikar B. , Kulkarni M.
Published: September 2022

At the macro-level, behavioral finance challenges classic financial theories. It shows that investor behavior in the real world is incompatible with the fundamental assumption of rationality in traditional finance, as studied by Sedaghati. While taking decisions, including financial decisions, rational thoughts are not involved, as suggested by modern theory. Additionally, these decisions are taken by them are also often inconsistent. Contrarily, human decisions are subject to several irrational principles, as in an evaluator study by Kannadhasan. These decisions are taken by considering the risks and returns involved. Prospect theory is one of the many theories derived from behavioral finance was first invented in a 1979 paper by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. It is commonly seen as the best explanation of how people evaluate risk in experimental settings, as researched by Barberis. This theory mainly includes how individuals or groups of investors decide between the alternatives under the umbrella of risk and uncertainty. This research evaluates the stock investors’ behaviors during the COVID-19 phase in India using prospect theory; many factors affect the decision of stock investors, such as loss aversion, risk aversion, certainty effect, reflective effect, etc., observed by Kahneman & Tversky. This study explores the possibility of factors of prospect theory on investors’ decisions about their investments during the COVID-19 phase. The results provide insights into how individual investors’ decisions vary during this pandemic situation.

Authors: Chakraborty S. , Bhattacharya S.
Published: September 2022

India has been reeling from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and has enforced a nationwide lockdown to ensure the spread is contained, and the situation is under control. This has paved the way for corporate across the length and breadth of the country to embrace remote working as the only feasible option to continue their business. Earlier, it used to be the IT sector employees and a handful of employees from other industries who had the privilege of working remotely. Now, with remote working becoming the norm, we aim to capture how it has affected people’s working style and if interactions with family at home during work hours affect their work. We also aim to find out whether performance takes a hit due to the absence of co-workers.A questionnaire was filled up by employees working from home that sought out details about their working style, daily routine, interactions with other people (family member or colleague), and their thoughts on the remote working lifestyle. The major factors were measured on a five-point Likert scale.People work for a longer time when working from home, due to distractions caused by interactions with family members or other people and also the absence of colleagues causes problems to be solved at a slower pace. Women work longer hours when compared to men, additionally due to household chores. The absence of colleagues coupled with distractions at home cause people to prefer working from the office rather than from home. This study would help identify what sort of impact remote working has on an employee’s performance and how it can affect the working style.The paper analyses the effect of remote working and the presence of family at home on an employee’s performance.
Empathy marketing during COVID-19 pandemic: decoding the impact and effectiveness on the brand image
Authors: Mahajan K. , Ghosh M.
Published: September 2022

For brands, empathy can create a customer persona, which can help in effectively targeting their consumers. In terms of marketing, however, it means asking what customers truly value rather than what will sell. Moreover, by creating content that evokes empathy, consumers are more likely to take action – sharing, responding, and even prompting change within their communities. Nevertheless, why are brands suddenly realizing the power of empathy? This is because consumers today are not only interested in passively consuming content. Instead, they actively seek out content that prompts a change in themselves and the world around them. This need of the hour made the brand realize the power of effective communication and hence the rise of empathy as a useful marketing tool. The research used a qualitative approach to understand the effectiveness of Empathy marketing during the pandemic hit time. Focus Group Discussions were conducted to understand the importance and relevance of empathy-based communication. The findings established that this type of communication is useful and helps the consumer create a positive brand image and a recall, but this may not directly impact or lead to a purchase decision.
