Simulation Incubator as an Activation Method of Music Management Teaching at the Faculty of Education
Authors:   University of West Bohemia, Bařtipánová Soňa
Published: December 2023

The paper aims to show the reader how to use an economic-manager instrument in the shape of an incubator in the teaching process at the faculty of pedagogy. The research on the importance of using a simulation incubator as an activation teaching method is integrated into the subject Introduction to Management in Music and further subjects – Grant Projects in Culture (taught at the Department of Music at the Faculty of Pedagogy in Plzeň). These subjects should prepare the students for the future role of a project manager in the sphere of culture and art projects. Students acquire theoretical knowledge and terminology they can later use to realize their own project in a simulated incubator – the former Jesuit College Refectory in Klatovy. The method of teaching Introduction of Music Management stems from Graham Wells’ theory and his art of thinking, which is the methodology basis of research.

The importance of providing an effective shift work schedule cannot be overstated, particularly when considering the continuous 24-hour service requirement. Each employee has their own schedule preferences, and while some positions offer just one or two shifts, others encompass three separate scheduling periods within a day. The issue arises when these varying schedules lead to disparities among workers of toll collectors in terms of overall time spent, creating an inequitable situation. Unfortunately, the objectives of the Bentong Toll Plaza and the preferences of the toll collectors have not been in harmony, which could potentially impact the performance and work-life balance of the toll collectors. The ongoing challenge faced by managers is the selection of the most suitable shift schedule. Thus, this study aims to introduce a new cyclic scheduling approach to streamline the task of creating schedules at Bentong Toll Plaza. Goad programming is applied to meet the requirements of four rigid constraints and three flexible constraints. The initial schedule is used for the first 15 days and then systematically rotated for another 15 days until all toll collectors have experienced all 15 schedule sets. This scheduling process was facilitated through the utilization of Lingo software, resulting in an optimized 15-day shift schedule for toll collectors. The third goal was achieved, which was that each toll collector was assigned the same amount of work. However, the first and second goals are not entirely met, but this has a minimal impact on the toll collectors due to the schedule rotation. In conclusion, it has been proven that the generated schedule pattern provides a better schedule in terms of providing each toll collector with the same total number of shifts and off days.

The existing iCEPS webpage continues to display program information in a list format, requiring users to manually scroll through the list to access all the available UiTM programs. This presentation of data in a list format is inefficient for analysis as it necessitates users to imagine and visualize the geographical location of the campuses themselves. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of utilizing a dot distribution map to assist users (candidates) in their search and selection of campuses for pursuing part-time distance learning at the diploma or degree level, as offered by the Institute of Continuing Education and Professional Studies (iCEPS) at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). In this study, a methodology to enhance the user experience in selecting campuses for part-time distance learning programs at the diploma or degree level was implemented. This includes initializing a map using the Google Maps JavaScript API, generating markers on the map to represent campus locations, and implementing tooltips to provide essential information when users interact with the markers. The webpages with the dot distribution maps are presented as the findings of study. It is effectively visualizing the locations of iCEPS campuses across various branches in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. These dot distribution maps offer an interactive and user-friendly platform that allows users to access detailed information about the courses offered at each campus. The implications of this study point to a significant reduction in the time, costs, and health-related concerns associated with users’ travelling. By providing an efficient means of campus selection through dot distribution maps, prospective learners can minimize the time spent commuting, reduce expenses on accommodation, food, and travelling thus promoting convenience, financial savings, and well-being.

For students with intelectual disabilities, inclusion, seen as a process, is the most effective way to combat discriminatory attitudes towards this category of students, a proces that will help them become independent adults in the future. Also, inclusion among students with intellectual disability in a class in ordinary education is the best proof that education is accessible but also equal for each student, regardless of the particularities of its psycho-physical development. In order for these students to have access to a quality education, the class teacher must design a personalized intervention plan for each subject, but also some strategies to improve the inclusion process. Our paper contains a personalized intervention plan (P.I.P.) in the disciplines of Communication in Romanian and Mathematics and Environmental Exploration for a student with moderate intellectual disability in the first grade who is studying in mass education. Our personalized intervention plan also meets learning needs, pursues and promotes methods and strategies to improve the school inclusion process for the student with moderate intellectual disability.

"Parenting approaches reflect the varied tactics and methodologies parents adopt while guiding and nurturing their offspring, including both behavioral and emotional tendencies in their relationship with their child as they mature. These approaches significantly mold children's self-worth, conduct, academic achievements, and interpersonal relations. How parents engage with their children and the way they assert their authority can leave lasting impressions on the emotional, social, and behavioral growth of the child. Thus, adopting a flexible parenting method that caters to the distinctive requirements of each child is essential for the wholesome evolution of their character, given that personality arises from a blend of genetic factors, social environments, and personal experiences. In Romania, these parenting methodologies might differ due to cultural traditions, educational histories, and familial values. There's a considerable amount of national research investigating how these parenting methods affect child development and welfare. This article intends to offer a comprehensive review of the literature that discusses parenting methodologies in a Romanian setting. This review will delve deep into the core theories of parenting approaches and pinpoint exemplary strategies. In summation, given the profound impact of parenting methods on a child's growth, it's crucial for parents to introspect and choose their child-rearing techniques thoughtfully. Employing a well-adjusted parenting approach that recognizes the individual necessities of each child is pivotal for their overall well-being and emotional stability. "

Motivation and performance are key factors in the success and achievement of schools. If changes occur in the external environment, the organization must adopt this change, as it can motivate to gain a competitive and advantageous job. Therefore, the main thing public opinion expects about the profession of teacher is the employment of qualified and competent (Pânişoara&Pânișoara, 2017). The research's main purpose was to evaluate the efficiency of teachers' work performance through motivation from the public and private sectors. Finding the link between motivation and teachers' performance at work in public and private schools was one of the study's goals. The second objective was to identify motivational factors that affect the teacher's performance at work in both sectors. The third objective was to identify whether teacher motivation and workplace performance differ in the public and private sectors. For our study, we conducted quantitative research, and the data is collected and analyzed through SPSS using statistical tools like correlation and regression, the independent sample t test, and the One-Way ANOVA test. The results of this study showed a link between teachers' motivation and job performance. The motivation and performance of students at public and private schools varied significantly as well. Compared to public schools, private school teachers are more motivated.Additionally, it was discovered that public and private schools' motivation and performance varied significantly. Compared to public school teachers, private school teachers are more motivated. The potential number of teachers felt that educated and experienced teachers have more capabilities and confidence than others, and they also put the best effort into their work in terms of performance.

Extracurricular activities serve as a valuable complement to the formal educational system in terms of their goals, content, and practical execution. These activities adopt a student-centric approach, tailoring their content, methodologies, and tools to individual students' abilities and interests. They offer flexibility, remain optional, and rely on voluntary participation, augmenting the formal educational process while nurturing the development of individual personalities, creativity, and essential competencies (Bocoș, 2017). Technical-scientific activities place a strong emphasis on the formative aspect of learning by identifying effective methods to structure and guide students' engagements (Albulescu, 2008). Through these activities, students amass knowledge, cultivate skills and abilities, and foster attitudes that bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and its practical application. This questionnaire seeks to investigate the role and significance of technical-scientific activities in skill development. By analyzing the responses, we aim to establish a correlation between students' performance in national assessments and the practical knowledge acquired through extracurricular pursuits. These activities also aid in nurturing students' creativity, problem-solving capabilities, and offer insights into their perspectives on the interactive methodologies employed in organizing extracurricular events. This study was conducted among a cohort of high school students who completed an online questionnaire (N=445). The findings underscore the complementary nature of technical-scientific activities, which, in conjunction with formal education, contribute significantly to the enhancement of competencies in science and technology. The study affords an opportunity to scrutinize the strengths and weaknesses of specialized extracurricular programs, shedding light on students' demands within the realm of science and technology activities and the extent to which these supplementary initiatives can mitigate school dropout rates.

Written, audio or audiovisual documents that were not designed to be used for pedagogical purposes, authentic documents are used by teachers in the teaching activity of different subjects, at different moments/stages of the lesson, aiming at the achievement of the proposed operational objectives, the interaction between pupils, the formulation and expression by them of their own points of view, the teaching staff being the mediator of the discussions. The use of this type of documents gives pupils an authentic picture of the subject in question, contributing to the development of a favorable attitude towards it, positively motivating them to search for similar information, helping them to overcome the limits of the textbook, making them become autonomous in learning. At the same time, the presence of authentic documents makes the lessons more dynamic, encouraging horizontal communication, presupposing on the part of the teaching staff the identification and use of the most effective activities in order to make full use of them. In this article we aim to present to what extent authentic documents are integrated into the didactic activity, which are these, how they are exploited in the primary cycle both by primary cycle teachers/teachers and by physical education teachers and sport, information obtained from the answers formulated by them to the questions in the applied questionnaire.

The adaptation of modern man to the demands of globalization, to economic and social needs, has led to the accentuation of some social phenomena (migration and remigration) in terms of the exodus of part of the population. The latter are seeking economic and social stability for their families. Migration is a sensitive issue of interest to both countries of origin and destination. Remigration of Romanian citizens is a phenomenon that produces more or less predictable social, educational, economic and, especially, individual effects. Many migrants do not achieve their goals, many have negative experiences of migration so that their physical and mental state is affected, but even more return home disillusioned and sometimes traumatized by this experience, many of them being children. The phenomenon of remigration (returning to the country of origin after a failed migration experience) has a strong impact on the well-being and development of the student. The social and school adaptation of the pupil and his/her reintegration into social activities presents, in most cases, major difficulties: low self-esteem, school failure, hyperactivity/attention deficit, social isolation.

Centering on the student in the context of the instructional-educational action is achieved by generating both interactive/collaborative and differentiated/individualized learning situations, all the more so as the appropriate technological resources can be exploited to provide the feedback necessary for adjustment in learning. The present study presents an investigative analysis to decipher the understanding of the concepts of didactic and exploitative individualization, differentiation and interactivity, with the aim of identifying the contribution of differentiation/individualization and interactivity in achieving effective learning. The study revealed a common perception of the concepts of individualization, differentiation and interactivity at the level of teachers for preschool, primary and secondary education. Also, the academic performance of students in pre-university education (preschool, primary and secondary school) was influenced by interactive strategies and learning tasks based on individualization and differentiation to a comparative extent with their contribution to the development of the degree of socialization and positive interaction, of increasing the level social-emotional skills.

The development of students' personality, in personally plan, socially and professionally, for a favorable social integration, is achieved by accessing the diversity of school activities. But the discipline called Personal Development occupies a primordial place, focusing on the concepts: self-knowledge, emotional intelligence and self-regulated learning. The didactic approach takes into account the purpose for which it is learned and the way of action to form the student's personality. Creativity has a special importance, both for the teacher in teaching, but also for students, giving them harmony, critical thinking, novelty, flexibility in thinking and especially originality. When it comes to creativity, the student has the right to free expression without being criticized or receiving indications regarding the shortcomings of the products made. With the help of creative strategies, the development in the reflective, anticipatory and evaluative capacity can be highlighted, but also in the student's motivational plan. Also, the development of learning autonomy, for the daily decisions of each individual, the facilitation of access to counseling offered by specialists in educational institutions and more, underlines the important role of this field. The major interest in personal development, which starts at an early age, develops children's personality and later acquires an important role in social, emotional and cognitive development.

Entre movilidad global e identificación local. El increíble viaje de un herbolario turco desde Constantinopla a México, Guatemala y Nicaragua
Authors: Biersack Martin
Published: December 2023

El viaje de Federico Saúl alias José Cristóbal Porto tiene todas las características de una novela de aventuras. El supuesto turco llegó desde Constantinopla a China, donde –en el portugués Macao– tomó un barco que lo llevó a San Blas. Allí se encaminó por tierra hacia el sur hasta Nicaragua, y luego de vuelta a México, donde en 1795 las autoridades lo tomaron preso por considerarlo un extranjero sospechoso. Este artículo reconstruye el viaje de Federico Saúl, tal y como se lo presentó a las autoridades españolas. Se basa principalmente en un expediente del Archivo de Indias, y lo toma como punto de partida para  contextualizarlo con ayuda de otras fuentes y de aportes historiográficos. El trabajo no se limita a lo puramente anecdótico, sino que utiliza este caso particular para analizar qué prácticas de identificación aplicaron las autoridades españolas para averiguar quién era ese viajero extraño que decía haberse convertido al cristianismo y ser un herbolario con la facultad de curar. La historia de Federico Saúl conecta América con Asia, África y Europa, y en ella se cruzan acontecimientos históricos como la cruzada contra el islam, la revolución francesa, y la exploración botánica de América. Es, por lo tanto, un caso microhistórico que muestra cómo la movilidad global de personas e ideas a finales del siglo XVIII supuso un reto para la identificación de viajeros.

O direito e o processo penal do século XXI
Authors: Japiassú Carlos Eduardo Adriano
Published: December 2023

Em face de eventos históricos de repercussão global é possível observar a internacionalização de diferentes institutos e matérias que, até recentemente, eram entendidas como sendo de interesse puramente doméstico de um país. O direito penal, assim como o processo penal, amoldam-se nesse aparente movimento. A tipificação de crimes que envolvem sítios transfronteiriços como o tráfico internacional, ou até mesmo atos terroristas, são frutos desta tendência. Em termo processuais, a necessidade ou a possibilidade de haver um juiz para a instrução probatória que exerça sua atividade em apartado de um juiz de liberdades também nasce de uma preocupação que tem como gênese os tribunais ad hoc. Estas são algumas das repercussões a serem discutidas no presente trabalho que se encontra dividido em três partes: a primeira trata sobre a transmutação do direito penal material, a segunda faz o mesmo, mas com enfoque para o direito processual penal e, por fim, uma conclusão sobre os aspectos analisados nos segmentos anteriores. O trabalho, que é realizado através de uma revisão bibliográfica, conclui que o movimento de internacionalização e mutação do direito penal, assim como do direito processual penal, é inerente ao processo de organização internacional que há tempos já ocorria, mas que encontrou importantes catalizadores no século XXI.

Luto e comida no último canto da Ilíada
Authors: Assunção Teodoro Rennó
Published: December 2023

Este breve artigo tenta investigar - a partir dos exemplos de Aquiles e de Príamo no canto de conclusão da Ilíada - a relação negativa entre o luto (como comportamento que mimetiza o morto) e a comida que, assim como o sono e o sexo, satisfaz temporariamente uma necessidade orgânica elementar e sinaliza, desta maneira,  a reintegração (pelo modo socializante do banquete) do enlutado à esfera dos vivos e a uma economia da vida humana mortal. Como exemplos desta relação entre luto e comida são comentados também o mito dos jarros de Zeus e o mito de Níobe, contados por Aquiles, para consolar e tentar reintegrar o enlutado Príamo à imediata continuação da vida.
The Transmission of Greek Music
Authors: West Martin L.
Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho investiga como a música grega foi transmitida de uma geração a outra. Uma pequena parte da transmissão escrita está documentada, mas é evidente que os textos dramáticos e líricos eram copiados normalmente sem notação musical, e para autores anteriores a Eurípides as partituras podem nunca ter existido. O conhecimento que os musicólogos têm da música antiga deve ter-se embasado na tradição performática existente entre amadores e profissionais. Os sistemas de notação parecem ser invenção do século V. Eram conhecidos e usados apenas por especialistas e eram desconhecidos por muitos compositores de música. Textos com notação não faziam parte da tradição textual corrente e seguiam suas próprias convenções formais. Eram geralmente antologias usadas pelos recitalistas e tiveram pouca importância na transmissão dos textos famosos no decorrer dos séculos. Apenas a música de Mesomedes e as peças instrumentais de Bellermann sobreviveram na Idade Média, por certo porque foram adotadas como parte do repertório didático.

Este estudo tenta apresentar a relação intrínseca entre a Epistemologia e a Ética no Antigo Estoicismo. Para isso, é necessário entrelaçar as noções de Natureza e Corpo, de um lado, e Alma e Incorpóreo de outro. A virtude é corpo para a Stoa e a interpretações das ações são incorpóreas. Isso aponta para um paradoxo a ser estudado.
O grotesco no Satíricon, de Petrônio
Authors: Aquati Cláudio
Published: December 2023

Este trabalho faz considerações acerca da intervenção da estética do grotesco literário na gênese do Satíricon. O grotesco, com chocantes e exageradas alterações de ordens e proporções representa um rompimento com valores estabelecidos (sociais, morais, estéticos) e desa?a os conceitos da lógica e da racionalidade para auxiliar o Satíricon na abordagem instigante e intrigante da nova realidade com que se depara a sociedade romana. Abre-se caminho para veri?car e interpretar no Satíricon os elementos que satisfaçam a um primeiro modelo de grotesco literário, na tentativa de detectar sua formulação, seu modo de conjugação e as implicações na interpretação da obra.

It was also confirmed that benefits of using IT in HR Processes positively influence the level of education management. The activities of the human resources department have changed as a result of technical developments like as software, devices, and the Internet of Things. In a larger sense, technology has changed how businesses conduct their operations throughout the world. The operation of human resource practices has seen a significant increase in communication within Greece's educational sector. It is important for different education institutions to focus on training HR managers on using different IT tools so as to enhance the quality of education management.

Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE

This study determined the in vitro efficacy of 6 common anthelmintics (eprinomectin, ivermectin, milbemycin oxime, moxidectin, selamectin, and fenbendazole) on motility (viability) of infectious third-stage larvae (L3) of Crenosoma vulpis, Angiostrongylus vasorum, and Aelurostrongylus abstrusus, which are important causes of canine and feline cardiopulmonary disease.

SAMPLES

First-stage larvae (L1) from C vulpis, An vasorum, and Ae abstrusus.

PROCEDURES

Naïve Limax maximus slugs were fed 1,000 to 2,000 L1 and held at 16 °C for at least 4 weeks to produce live L3. Approximately 50 to 100 L3/well were subsequently incubated in culture media alone or media containing 6 separate test anthelmintics at 4 concentrations, to bracket expected in vivo drug plasma levels in anthelmintic-treated dogs and cats. Drug effects on L3 motility (viability) were analyzed by multilevel logistic models, generating dose-response relationships. Experiments were completed 1-9/2019.

RESULTS

Drug concentration estimates corresponding to a 50% larval mortality rate identified that C vulpis was the most sensitive species to the anthelmintics tested. Ae abstrusus was most susceptible to moxidectin and selamectin, while An vasorum was insusceptible to all anthelmintics tested, except for selamectin at high drug concentrations.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The in vitro anthelmintic response to antiparasitic agents may guide and improve disease therapy and prevention. Considering the observed lack of efficacy against L3, monthly anthelmintic treatment for protection against An vasorum infection in dogs would primarily rely on the anthelmintic’s adulticidal activity. Maximal preventive control for An vasorum would, therefore, require at least 1 treatment administered a minimum of 1 week after the end of the transmission season.
Telework Trends in Europe: Who are Up-and-Coming, Leaders, Losing Ground or Laggards?
Authors: Vitola Alise , Christopoulos George
Published: December 2023

Telework in Europe has seen a significant surge, especially due to technological advancements and the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper focuses on the incidence and changes in telework in European countries before and after the COVID-19 pandemic and proposes a classification of European countries in terms of share of teleworkers and the rate of increase in teleworking. This classification provides insights into the varying stages of teleworking adoption across different European countries and can be used by practitioners, researchers and policy makers. Furthermore, we focus on Greece as a critical example of digital underachievement. The study uses data from the European Union Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) and covers the European Union countries, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland. The paper shows that the pandemic significantly boosted remote work across Europe. However, the disparity in remote work adoption between regions within Europe remains significant displaying a divide between North-Western and South-Eastern Europe regarding remote work adoption.

Published: December 2023

Objective

This study aimed to have a good knowledge of heart failure complicated with malnutrition research status, hotspots, and forecast research trends using bibliometric analysis and visualization of studies of heart failure complicated with malnutrition in the past 10 years.

Methods

Articles related to malnutrition-induced heart failure were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) series from January 2012 to January 2022. Two software (Java CiteSpace 5.8R3 and Microsoft Excel 2019) were used to perform bibliometric and knowledge-map analysis, including analyzing the annual publication and trend of articles, authors and co-cited authors, institutions/countries, co-cited journals, co-occurrence, clusters, and burst of keywords, co-cited references, and reference burst.

Results

A total of 672 articles appeared in 180 scientific journals by 4249 authors from 1453 institutions in 71 countries. Over the past 10 years, the number of related studies released has shown an upward trend, and the range of increases has been larger over the past 5 years. Takatoshi Kasai released the most papers, while Anker S D had the most co-quotes. Simultaneously, active cooperation existed in complicated heart failure with researchers on malnutrition. Circulation, Journal of The American College of Cardiology, and Clinical Nutrition were the top 3 co-cited journals. The USA, Japan, and China were the most productive countries, while Johns Hopkins University was the most active institution. In addition, the reference published by Ponikowski P had the most co-citations, relating to as a knowledge base. The latest hotspots of heart failure complicated with malnutrition mainly included research on: (1) assessment of nutrition status, the impact/risk factor of nutrition, and the prevalence and outcome of the patients; (2) heart failure complicated with malnutrition when complicated with other diseases, for example, chronic kidney disease and diabetes mellitus; (3) the nutrition of child patients with heart failure complicated with malnutrition; and (4) the treatment of heart failure complicated with malnutrition, including assist devices, organ transplantation, and drug therapy. While the frontier topics included research on: (1) the index of heart failure complicated with malnutrition; (2) the effect of sarcopenia to heart failure complicated with malnutrition patients and the use of geriatric nutritional risk index to assess the nutritional statue; and (3) find the nutritional risk index.

Conclusions

This study conducted a full overview of the present research situation, hotspots, and frontiers by using bibliometric and visualization analysis methods in heart failure complicated with malnutrition, which would provide a helpful reference for future research.
Knowledge, attitude, and practices related to medication errors among nursing professionals: a questionnaire-based study in a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Raja Vishal , Babu L. N. , Priyadarshini Rekha
Published: December 2023

Objective

To evaluate the level of understanding (knowledge), beliefs (attitude), and behavior (practice) of staff nurses toward medication errors (MEs).

Methods

Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to nursing professionals who had at least 1 year of work experience. Each questionnaire contained 19 items assessing “knowledge,” “attitude,” and “practice” attributes toward MEs.

Results

Responses from 47 nursing respondents were included for the final analysis. The mean knowledge score was 3.8 ± 1.1 (out of 6); 66% and 79% of the respondents had awareness of medication reporting systems and interventions in preventing MEs, respectively. Lack of adequate knowledge in recognizing MEs (P = 0.003), or presuming MEs are not as important enough to be reported (P = 0.002), was considered as the major reason for under-reporting of MEs. Nurses with higher knowledge score were against administration of medication through a different route than that prescribed by the physician (P = 0.023), and tried to rectify an ME (P = 0.020) and stayed with the patient until an oral medication had been swallowed (P = 0.037).

Conclusions

The nursing professionals were aware of the ME reporting system and methods to prevent the occurrence of MEs. They also exhibited a positive attitude and followed optimal practices in controlling MEs.
