Authors: Ding Kaihua , Wang Qi , Li Zhicai , He Ping , Zhang Peng , Chen Jianfeng , You Xinzhao , Zhao Lijiang
Published: August 2022

High-rate Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) observations from an integrated network in the Tibetan plateau were used for rapid source determination of the 2021 Mw 7.4 Maduo earthquake. Constrained by high-rate displacements from nine stations near the source, the magnitude was essentially determined as early as 20 s after the origin time (OT), whereas the 39-s-long rupture propagated only approximately halfway, and together with the epicenter location and rupture length, they were completely determined 29 s after the OT or 10 s before the rupture completion. In addition, to test the capability and feasibility of current GNSS networks for rapid source determination in the Tibetan plateau, two experiments were further implemented to invert source parameters by real observations at farther sites and synthetic observations induced by an Mw 7.0 modeled earthquake. The results demonstrate that current GNSS networks are capable and feasible to provide rapid source determination and earthquake early warning in approximately 30 s after the OT for large earthquakes (Mw 7.0+) based on current station density, spatial coverage and communication conditions in the Tibetan plateau.
A Importância dos Modelos para o Florescimento Humano. O Contributo de Dietrich von Hildebrand
Authors: Lopes Eugénio
Published: August 2022

Today, more than ever, we talk constantly about a crisis of values. However, this crisis is also associated with the lack or rather the bad conception of models, the great promoters of values in societies. Thus, in this article, I intend to analyze the conception of a model, using, in particular, the thought of the realist phenomenologist, Dietrich von Hildebrand, and how it is important to guarantee human flourishing and social development. For this, I will initially distinguish two types of experiences in the human person. After that, I will analyze the values and primary vocation of every human person. Subsequently, I will approach the conception of the model and his influence on his follower. Then I’ll analyze the love relationship between the model and his follower. Finally, I will focus on the connection between religion and models.
Uma análise ontológica do fenômeno do “não estar em casa” em Heidegger
Authors: Rutligliano Francisca Soares
Published: August 2022

This Essay is an ontological contemplation of the phenomenon of not-being-at-home, which has characterized the most immediate way in which Dasein unfolds in its daily life of its being-in-the-world. This contemplation is originally based on the Hölderlin´s and Georg Trakl´s Poetics, insofar as we conceive them as the most essentials discourses of the phenomenon in question here, and it takes the direction of its foundation from the categorical-existential determinations of the facticity of life, which Heidegger elaborates in his Essay Phenomenological Interpretations of Aristotle – Introduction to Phenomenological Research, which has the character of a propaedeutic for the Phenomenological Investigation of Aristotle’s Philosophy. The question here will be the determining the Principles of facticity of existence and its modes of consummation. With this approach, we intend to present the ontological-existential foundations of the affirmations of both Poets in their contemplation of the historical-spiritual course of our Dasein, Hölderlin´s affirmation : In the beginning the spirit is not at home, and the affirmation of Trakl: “The soul is a stranger upon the Earth”.

Authors: Oliveira Falcão Lima Giulia , Silva Santos Luana Cristina , Faro André
Published: August 2022

O presente estudo objetivou investigar a ocorrência de ideação suicida em universitários, bem como sua relação com a presença de sofrimento mental significativo e características sociodemográficas. Em fevereiro de 2020, 223 estudantes da Universidade Federal de Sergipe responderam a um questionário presencialmente, em uma proporção de aproximadamente metade entre os gêneros. Participaram estudantes de todas as áreas do conhecimento, nos turnos da manhã, tarde e noite. Além do questionário sociodemográfico, foram aplicados o Questionário de Impulso, Autodano e Ideação Suicida (QIAIS-A) e o Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20). Foi encontrado que 52,9% dos participantes relataram sofrimento mental significativo e 32,3% possuíam ideação suicida. Por meio de regressão logística, constatou-se que apenas a variável sofrimento mental significativo permaneceu no modelo final. Com isso, viu-se que aqueles que relataram sofrimento mental possuiam quase nove vezes mais chances de apresentar ideação suicida. Frente aos achados desta pesquisa, concluiu-se que o cuidado com a saúde mental dos estudantes é urgente e medidas de intervenção precisam ser adotadas pelas instituições o quanto antes.
Estratégias discursivas de (des)legitimação: experiências em pesquisas sobre feminicídio e ativismo LGBT no Brasil
Authors: Ventura Kárin Giselle Ferreira , Tavares Raylton Carlos de Lima , Resende Viviane De Melo
Published: August 2022

Com base no paradigma qualitativo e nos estudos críticos do discurso (ECD), este trabalho objetiva discutir a aplicabilidade da categoria teórico-analítica de legitimação. Para tanto, considerou-se recortes dos corpora das pesquisas: “Análise discursiva da representação de feminicídios no jornal Correio Braziliense” e “Representação em disputa: uma análise de discurso crítica das Parada LGBTQI+ Livre de Brasília”, em que se utiliza o software de apoio à análise qualitativa NVivo, bem como categorias de análise discursiva. Foi analisada a construção discursiva de estratégias de legitimação e deslegitimação das práticas sociais objeto das investigações: feminicídio e imprensa; movimento e parada LGBT. Os resultados apontam que fontes jornalísticas são importantes agentes de legitimação de discursos. Apontam também que, para legitimar a Parada LGBTQI+ livre de Brasília, seus organizadores a comparam a outras cidades em que há iniciativas semelhantes, bem como avaliam suas ações como democráticas e as ações dos outros como antidemocráticas.
Mega-Essay as an Integrated Format in Modern Literature
Authors: Shevchenko Tetiana , Korobkova Natalia , Sliusarenko Mariia
Published: August 2022

The article introduces the concept of mega-essay as an integrated format into literary circulation in the era of postmodernism. Its specificity is outlined in other forms of ensemble association of essay works: mega-essay as an integrated formation is a consolidated format, it differs from other forms of essay compilations (collection, cycle) with greater completeness, more thorough basis of design. It has a closed structure, because all its structural components (sections, subsections, framework elements constituting the whole book) are interconnected. They are closely related to the author's intention, outlined in the preface or introduction, concluded on the basis of causal and associative principles. Based on the analyzed works of Ortega y Gasset, O. Zabuzhko’s «Notre Dame dʼUkraine», N. Zborovska’s «My Lesia Ukrainka», etc. conclusions are made about specific features of the mega-essays, in which the phenomenon chosen for comprehension (culture, epoch, turning point of history) is described in detail by incorporating internal and external contexts, authoritative references, other works, and if necessary, with the dominance of the essayistic method of presentation of opinions, related to the personal views of the author. Emphasis is placed on the affinity of ideas and selected essay formats of Ortega y Gasset and O. Zabuzhko, given their content and structural organization. Conclusions are made about the role and significance of essays of this format in postmodern European literature.

Sustained physical activity and exercise are central to healthy ageing. Yet, the majority of aged people are insufficiently physically active. Digital wellness technologies are potential in promoting exercise behaviors among aged people, but more detailed research on their potential to promote behavior change is limited. To address this gap, the purpose is to investigate how partaking in a digital wellness program influences the stage of exercise behavior change among aged people and to test whether self-efficacy for exercise can differentiate the program participants in terms of the stages of change. The investigation builds on the stages of exercise behavior change derived from the transtheoretical model of behavior change and on selfefficacy for exercise. The results suggest that partaking in a digital wellness program can be effective in promoting exercise behavior change among aged people and show that self-efficacy for exercise may differentiate aged people at different stages of exercise behavior change.

Technological innovation in the healthcare sector is increasing, but integration of information technology (IT) in the care process is difficult. Healthcare workers are important agents in this IT integration. The purpose of this study is to explore factors that feed motivation to use IT. Self-determination theory (SDT) is applied to study how motivational factors impact effective IT use among frontline caregivers in residential care settings. As the team is very important to these caregivers, the team is our unit of analysis. In an embedded single case study design, interviews were conducted with all nine members of a team effectively using IT. All three basic psychological needs from SDT - autonomy, competence and relatedness - were found to have impact on effective IT use, though autonomy was primarily experienced at team level. Conversely, the effective use of an IT collaboration tool influences relatedness.

This qualitative study investigates customer-brand relationships between customers and digital brands. This study aims to describe different digital brand relationship types, and their manifestations among young adult customers. The data collection was conducted in 2021 by interviewing fourteen Finnish adults aged 22-31 years. The findings categorize the customer-brand relationships into four relationship types, according to the relationship strength from weak to strong. Brand liking lacks emotions and is characterized by low commitment towards a digital brand. Brand attachment includes having a slight barrier of digital brand replacement, and emotions towards the brand are weak. Brand loving denotes that a beloved digital brand is favored in the long term, but the brand is not considered irreplaceable. Brand addiction occurs when a customer has an irreplaceable, intimate, and dependent relationship with the digital brand. All the found relationship types need further investigation in future research.

Data-based products and services (DBPS) utilise personal data to enhance their capabilities and provide consumers with a more intelligent and personalized experience. As a result, the experience of DBPS is fluid – the amount of data consumers feed into the product determines their experience. However, barriers such as privacy concerns hinder the progression to a more pronounced level at different thresholds. We developed and employed a scenario-based prospective incident technique to analyse how consumers experience DBPS at certain levels and how they advance from one level to another. Results show that consumers are willing to share non-critical personal data in exchange for mainly utilitarian benefits at basic DBPS levels. As DBPS usage progresses, consumers constantly perform cost-benefit assessments. Providers of DBPS can target these assessments by clearly communicating incremental added value to enable a small-step progression at all levels of usage.

Whereas open digital platforms drive innovation in industries, platforms in primary healthcare are mostly closed. Policy-makers have been looking for ways to open up primary healthcare platforms to stimulate collaboration and innovation and need to do so even more due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Yet, there is not one way of opening up platforms in primary healthcare, just as it is unclear how different ways of openness can lead to more innovation. This paper analyzes the opportunities and challenges in realizing platform openness while examining alternative forms of openness. To answer this, we (1) conceptualize different forms of platform openness (sponsor-provider-platform-user openness), (2) examine how these forms of openness can resolve barriers to innovation, and (3) examine what challenges need to be overcome to realize that form of openness in practice, such as complexity in roles, regulations, and ICT infrastructure. The findings are relevant to structure further research on how platform openness leads to more innovations in healthcare.

Asociación entre Índice de hacinamiento y prevalencia de Tuberculosis auto-reportada en establecimientos penitenciarios: Estudio Ecológico basado en el Censo Nacional Penitenciario, Perú, 2016
Authors:   , Munive Falconi Rosa Amanda
Published: August 2022

Introducción: En el año 2019, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) estimó que 10 millones de personas desarrollaron Tuberculosis (TB) alrededor del mundo; además, estima que la incidencia de TB en establecimientos penitenciarios (EP) es 100 veces mayor a la población general. El riesgo de transmisión de TB se ve influenciado por distintos determinantes, siendo hacinamiento, uno de los más importantes. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio ecológico usando EPs como unidades de análisis basado en los resultados del Censo Nacional Penitenciario 2016 en Perú. La variable dependiente fue Prevalencia de TB autoreportada (TBa) en cada EP y la variable de exposición fue Índice de Hacinamiento (número de internos / capacidad teórica del EP). Se obtuvieron coeficientes rho usando correlación de Spearman. Para el análisis multivariado, se calcularon coeficientes beta en forma cruda y ajustada, usando regresión lineal con varianzas robustas. Resultados: 66 EPs participaron en el Censo. La mediana del índice de hacinamiento en los EP fue 2.26 (RIC: 1.28-2.94). La prevalencia de TBa varió desde 0 hasta 8977/100 mil personas, siendo la mediana 496.1/100 mil personas (RIC: 0-2027). El coeficiente de correlación rho entre hacinamiento y prevalencia de TBa fue 0,24. En el modelo multivariado, los factores asociados a una mayor prevalencia de TBa por EP fueron mayor índice de hacinamiento (Beta 327; IC95% 37:617) y mayor porcentaje de reingresos a EP (Beta 152.6; IC95% 55:250). Región selva (Beta -1372.8; -2202.1:-543.5) y uso de servicios de trabajo (Beta -33; IC95% -6:-60) se asociaron a menos prevalencia. Conclusiones: Nuestro estudio encontró que a mayor índice de hacinamiento aumenta la prevalencia de tuberculosis en los EPs. Otros factores asociados fueron mayor porcentaje de reingresos a EP; mientras que estar ubicado en la región selva y mayor uso de servicios de trabajo se asocio a menos prevalencia.
Reducción del desplazamiento relativo de la base en estructuras con aisladores sismicos mediante el concepto de transmisibilidad relativa
Authors:   , Soto Delgado Gerardo Brayan , Vente Silva Rodrigo Alberto
Published: August 2022

Se desarrolla un método de diseño utilizando el concepto de transmisibilidad relativa para la solución del problema de grandes desplazamientos de la base (displacement demand) en estructuras aisladas bajo acción de terremotos. El procedimiento se desarrolla en el dominio de la frecuencia, esto para obtener la rigidez y amortiguamiento del sistema aislante. Posteriormente, se utiliza un modelo de estructura benchmark de múltiples grados de libertad, excitado por señales de entrada sísmica reales para la evaluación del procedimiento de diseño, siendo la propuesta un control puramente pasivo. Los resultados muestran la eficacia de esta metodología, ya que los desplazamientos de la base obtenidos con un sistema netamente de control pasivo son muy cercanos a los desplazamientos alcanzados con el uso de sistemas control activo que son más complejos y costosos.

The water content in fresh turmeric is quite high so it is easily damaged. For this reason, this research is necessary as an effort to handle post-harvest which will increase the shelf life of turmeric. The purposes of this study were to determine the physical properties of turmeric and to determine the effect of differences in drying temperature and duration of flouring on the physical characteristics of turmeric powder. The procedure was started with cleaning and size reduction, drying at temperatures of 60, 70, and 80°C, flouring for 1, 3, and 5 minutes, sifting with no. mesh 60, and measurement of physical properties. Results showed that the lowest water content of turmeric flour dried on 80°C and the 1-minute flouring time was 8.11%. Based on the color analysis test, the drying temperature of 60°C and the time of flouring is 5 minutes with an L (lightness) value of 64.53, a value of 12.47, and b of 51.46. The highest bulk density value was 0,42 g/cm³, obtained from the treatment with a temperature of 60°C and a flouring duration of 3 minutes. The smallest angle of repose value was obtained from a drying temperature of 80°C with a flouring time of 1 minute, namely 42.96°. The highest oil absorption value was obtained from the 80°C temperature treatment and 1-minute flouring time, which was 1.74 mL/g. The most significant water absorption was obtained from the 80°C temperature treatment with 3 minutes of flouring, which was 4.82 mL/g. Based on the analysis of the ANOVA test in this study, the physical characteristics of turmeric powder that affected by drying temperature were only water content and in the correlation test it was found that the observed variables that correlated with temperature were moisture content, bulk density, angle of repose, oil absorption.

A presente pesquisa foi realizada na comunidade indígena da aldeia Gapgir que está localizada no município de Cacoal, estado de Rondônia. Teve como objetivo mapear os sinais utilizados por um grupo de alunos indígenas surdos do Povo Paiter Suruí, que se comunicam e se expressam por meio de sinais próprios criados na necessidade de comunicação. O suporte metodológico foi orientado pela metodologia de pesquisas pós-críticas em educação que acreditam ser possível pesquisar sem um método previamente definido (Paraíso 2012). A pesquisa fundamentou-se nos Estudos Culturais e nos Estudos Surdos. Os pressupostos teóricos tiveram como referência nos trabalhos das pesquisadoras surdas Perlin (2010), da língua de sinais indígena Vilhalva (2012), e dos estudos culturais Hall (2006) que podem fundamentar as pesquisas de registro da língua de sinais indígenas na perspectiva da valorização da cultura e identidade. Os trabalhos de Leite e Quadros (2014) contribuíram para mostrar a importância do registro das variedades de línguas de sinais do Brasil e que todas essas pesquisas na área de língua de sinais de grupos distantes dos grandes centros urbanos, particularmente os indígenas, contribuem para que essas línguas não desapareçam. Como resultado, registrou-se sinais próprios desses indígenas que surgiram para suprir a necessidade de comunicação entre seus pares na escola com influência da visualidade, que é uma marca importante na cultura surda.

Quality Level of the Standards Used to Evaluate Teaching Performance- University of Ouargla, Algerian- from the Faculty Members’ Perspective
Authors: الامام سالمة , بارة سمير
Published: August 2022

The performance of the faculty members plays a pivotal role in the university’s development, because it directly affects its outcomes that are oriented primarily to serve the community; it’s therefore necessary to pay attention to this performance. Most universities in the world have sought to improve the teachers’ performance, through the development of an integrated system of evaluation that is based on indicators affecting all aspects of this performance. However, the problem is whether there are standards and indicators of good quality to evaluate the performance, especially achieving the quality of higher education today is mainly linked to the quality of the educational skills of university professors. Therefore, this study attempted to address the following questions: What role do teachers’ performance measurement indicators have in achieving quality? To what extent the application of these indicators is of quality from the  perspective of professors of the Faculties of Law and Political Science and Humanities at the University of Ouargla? To answer these questions, the descriptive approach was followed by developing a questionnaire which was distributed to a random sample consisting of 212 professors of both colleges. After the analysis data and interpretation of results, the study revealed the following:

The teaching performance of university professor is considered an integrated system which is of great importance in achieving educational goals at the university level.

The evaluation of university teachers’ performance plays a major role in improving the level of educational performance.

Even though the university professor recognizes the importance of the measurement process of educational performance, more than half of the sample were of the opinion that this process needs more indicators, because the existing ones are characterized by inflexibility and formality; and this affects the quality of the process.

The aim of the study was to assess to what extent the quality standards in the Special Education Program at Majmaah University, were available from the point of view of faculty members and 8th level students who were expected to graduate, in the light of a number of variables. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher  used a  descriptive survey method and developed a questionnaire, consisting of six areas:  (objectives of the program, teaching methods, and curriculum,  students’ evaluation, facilities and services, and field training). The study sample consisted of all faculty members at the Department of Special Education in the College of Education, totaling (42) faculty members, and (62) 8th Level students who were expected to graduate in the academic year 2015 / 2016.  The study results revealed the availability of quality standards in the program to a high degree from the point of view of faculty members, and in all the areas of the questionnaire, with a slight variation between these areas  "standards ". The standard “objectives of the program” ranked first, while the standard “facilities and services” ranked last. From the students’ perspective, on the other hand, the results indicated that  quality standards, which are related to program objectives only, were available in the program  to a high degree. In other areas of the questionnaire, students’ perspectives had a medium degree. The results of the study did not show any significant differences at the level (α = 0.05) between the means of the faculty members perspectives, attributed to the variables (gender, years of experience), but there were statistically significant differences (α=0.05), attributed to the impact of level of education, in favor of MA and PhD holders. Also, the results did not reveal any significant differences at the level (α = 0.05) between the means of the students’ perspectives due to the variable (GPA, gender).

Abstract The study aims to examine the status of the relationship between the Algerian University and the socio-economic environment and the ways to activate it. The study also focuses on estimating the impact of open innovation as a mechanism of activation of the partnership between the university and the socio-economic environment, and on assessing the contribution of the national research projects at Banta University in the stimulation of  this partnership. Open Innovation is described in terms of three axes : (1) Availability of open innovation principles in companies, (2) open innovation practices (inbound  and outbound), (3) the actors or partners who are dealing with companies through open innovation (degree of openness on market, information and research sources). The activation of the partnership is studied through two variables : the strategic objectives of open innovation’s application, for both, the organization and the university.The population of the study included the total researchers at the University of Batna. Then holders of PNR were selected as a sample to collect preliminary data to test the hypothesis of  impact of open innovation on the activation (stimulation) of the partnership between the university and the socio - economic environment, A questionnaire was distributed to the targeted holders of projects. The results show that study’s hypotheses are correct, This allows us to give some recommendations
Catadores de materiais recicláveis: análise do perfil socioeconômico na cidade de Salvador, Bahia, Brasil
Authors: Marchi Cristina Maria Dacach Fernandez , Santana Joilson Santos
Published: August 2022

No Brasil, o custo da coleta seletiva é 4,6 vezes maior que o custo da coleta convencional, e somente 22% dos municípios brasileiros praticam a coleta seletiva. Os catadores de materiais recicláveis têm participado dos sistemas de gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos das cidades brasileiras há mais de quatro décadas. As atividades dos catadores de materiais recicláveis contribuem para o aumento da reciclagem de resíduos sólidos. Este estudo de abordagem qualitativa, dedutiva, de caráter exploratório, objetiva delinear um perfil socioeconômico do catador de material reciclável que opera na cidade de Salvador, Bahia. Apresenta um perfil para catadores avulsos e cooperativados. Conclui que organizações cooperativas possibilitam aos seus trabalhadores efetuarem a comercialização dos materiais recicláveis a preços maiores, propiciando renda média maior que a do catador avulso.

A Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) refere-se a um conjunto de práticas que objetiva atender às necessidades de saúde individuais e coletivas. Neste nível assistencial, certos atributos devem ser desenvolvidos para garantir a qualidade dos serviços: Primeiro Contato, Longitudinalidade, Integralidade, Coordenação, Focalização na Família, Orientação Comunitária e Competência Cultural. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar, avaliar e comparar os atributos da Atenção Primária à Saúde, considerando dois modelos organizativos. Realizou-se pesquisa exploratória, transversal-descritiva, aplicando o Instrumento Primary Care Assessment Tool Brasil, versão profissional, a 70 médicos e 33 enfermeiros atuantes na atenção básica de um município do Estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Utilizou-se estatística descritiva e inferencial. A atenção básica tradicional apresentou escores médios acima de 6,6 nos atributos coordenação, longitudinalidade, integralidade – serviços prestados e orientação familiar. Os atributos que receberam baixo escore foram integralidade – serviços disponíveis, orientação comunitária e acesso de primeiro contato, sendo este último o único atributo com escore médio abaixo de 6,6 na Estratégia Saúde da Família. Identificou-se diferença entre os modelos, com resultados melhores na Estratégia Saúde da Família em comparação à atenção básica tradicional, nos escores essencial, derivado e geral. Concluiu-se que a Estratégia Saúde da Família apresentou melhores resultados nos atributos avaliados, representando maior qualidade. Portanto, a ampliação de cobertura por este modelo apresenta-se como estratégia de fortalecimento deste nível assistencial. A aplicabilidade do estudo se coloca a partir do compartilhamento estratégicos dos resultados, para profissionais e gestores, visando à construção conjunta de diretrizes de enfrentamento: sensibilização de agenda prioritária para APS, inserção da Reflexão da Prática como ferramenta de Educação Permanente para as equipes e fortalecimento da parceria da Regional de Saúde (DRS) com a universidade.
