ClipPath copies filename and path from windows for loading into R
Authors: Turner Stephen
Published: December 2024

I wish I would have discovered this long ago.  Loading data into R or MySQL requires you to specify the full path to the file.  If you do this on a Windows machine there are two annoyances.  First, if you save something to your desktop the path to your desktop is really long.  Second, windows by default uses backslashes "\" in the file path, while R or other software requires forward slashes "/".

Convert PLINK output to CSV
Authors: Turner Stephen
Published: December 2024

I tip my hat to Will for showing me this little command line trick. PLINK's output looks nice when you print it to the screen, but it can be a pain to load the output into excel or a MySQL database because all the fields are separated by a variable number of spaces. This little command line trick will convert a variable-space delimited PLINK output file to a comma delimited file.You need to be on a Linux/Unix machine to do this.

The efficacy of Agricultural Financing on Agricultural Production in Zimbabwe
Authors: Chamba Lucy , Tarirai Ismael
Published: December 2024

This research investigates the effectiveness of agricultural financing in enhancing agricultural production in Zimbabwe. This study explores the key drivers of agricultural production in Zimbabwe and specifically assesses the influence of agricultural loans, foreign direct investment (FDI), and domestic agricultural capital on agricultural output within the country. The study seeks to gain a better understanding of how these financial resources contribute to agricultural output and assesses their overall effectiveness in stimulating agricultural productivity. The study used the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) to analyse the short-term and long-term relationship among agricultural output, agricultural loans, foreign direct investment (FDI), and domestic agricultural capital. The findings indicate a robust positive correlation between agricultural loans and agricultural output. Increased access to financing enables farmers to invest in inputs, machinery, and technology, leading to significant boosts in productivity. While FDI has the potential to introduce advanced technologies and capital, the findings suggest a non-significant direct impact on production. However, it may indirectly contribute through improved infrastructure and market access. Additionally, the research confirms a significant positive link between domestic agricultural capital and agricultural production. Sufficient availability of capital, for land improvement, irrigation, and modern techniques, is strongly linked to increased production. The study highlights the critical role of agricultural financing in driving agricultural growth in Zimbabwe. It also emphasizes the need for strategic investments and supportive infrastructure to maximize the benefits of FDI.

Evaluation of Different Soil Media and Soil Ameliorants in Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Miller), Green Onion (Allium sativum) and Pechay (Brassica rapa L.)
Authors: Calabio Jenny , Albacete Ma. Luisa
Published: December 2024

This study was established at the Urban Agriculture Demonstration Site of the West Visayas State University main campus in La Paz, Iloilo City from July 2007 to July 2008. The study (1) determined the best soil media and (2) evaluated the effect of different soil ameliorants on green onion, pechay, and tomato when grown in containers. Results of the study showed that the use of pure compost was the best medium in increasing the yield of tomato, green onion, and pechay. Results further showed that the use of IMO and rice hull as soil ameliorants did not increase yields of the three species of vegetables tested. The use of rice hull generally reduced the yields particularly of pechay. Prospective urban gardeners and even vegetable growers may be encouraged by the results of this study to utilize their biodegradable wastes as compost for food production. Results further suggest that recycling and composting have vast potential for addressing the food, health, and income needs of the urban poor and landless, and will generate jobs for women.
Effects of Different Levels of Fertilizers and Types of Harvesting Flowers on the Growth and Yield of Spathiphyllum
Authors: Penpillo Ru , Ballano Monica
Published: December 2024

This research study was conducted to find out the effects of different levels of fertilizer and types of harvesting flowers on the growth and yield of Spathiphyllum and to determine the cost and return analysis of each treatment. Two hundred forty potted Spathiphyllum were grown in bags for 27 months using four levels of fertilizers and 2 types of harvesting flowers. The data gathered were the height of the plants , number of functional leaves, number of suckers, and number and size of flowers. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design in RCBD replicated three times with 10 pots per replicate. Results showed that the flowers of Spathiphyllum could either with or without be cut thru the peduncle either with or without accompanying leaf. Foliar application of 19-19-19 at the rate of 5g/liter of water to point of saturation every 15 days plus the granular application of 2.5 g each of urea and T14 every month gave the best result, while foliar application of fertilizer alone gave the poorest result. Likewise, the former gave highest ROI and the latter the lowest ROI. It is recommended that further studies including light intensity, temperature, relative humidity, leaf pruning, and desuckering be conducted. Further, ANCOVA is recommended to determine the influence of growth parameters on flower yield.
A Residência Pedagógica como dispositivo de biopoder: experiências de sujeitos estudantes-residentes do subprojeto de Matemática
Authors: Santana Flávia Cristina de Macêdo , Santana Tailane de Jesus
Published: December 2024

Este artigo analisa como a Residência Pedagógica (RP) constitui-se dispositivo de biopoder ao regular experiências dos sujeitos estudantes-residentes do subprojeto de Matemática durante a pandemia. Para tanto, mobilizaram-se algumas ferramentas conceituais propostas por Michel Foucault e argumentamos que os endereçamentos da RP se constituem um dispositivo de biopoder para o governamento e o controle das populações. Utiliza-se a abordagem qualitativa, associada à pesquisa documental. Optou-se pela análise documental de um corpus constituído por editais e relatos de experiências de sujeitos estudantes-residentes. Para tanto, apoiamo-nos nos princípios da análise do discurso na perspectiva foucaultiana para apreciar os dados produzidos. Consideram-se três unidades de análise vinculadas às práticas e às experiências, a saber: a) a instância formativa; b) o âmbito matemático; c) o campo pedagógico. Essas unidades emergiram dos dados e foram sistematizadas a partir de um diálogo com alguns conceitos foucaultianos. Os resultados indicam que o dispositivo formativo da Residência Pedagógica produz sujeitos-futuro(s)-professor(es)-de-Matemática por meio de diversificadas estratégias regulatórias pautadas nos debates sobre o exercício de poder/resistência, sociedade disciplinar e controle que moldam as experiências vivenciadas.

As representações sociais sobre as práticas sustentáveis em Educação Física no contexto do ginásio educacional olímpico do município do Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Ferreira Carla Elaine Alves , Triani Felipe da Silva
Published: December 2024

O conhecimento compartilhado entre os participantes de um mesmo grupo social sobre um dado objeto indica muito sobre seus valores e suas atitudes, construindo representações sociais. No entanto, o senso comum sobre as práticas sustentáveis no campo da Educação tem ganhado destaque nos últimos anos, mas pouca atenção tem sido dada ao componente curricular Educação Física numa perspectiva de sustentabilidade. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa objetivou identificar e analisar as representações sociais compartilhadas por um grupo de professores de Educação Física dos Ginásios Educacionais Olímpicos do Município do Rio de Janeiro sobre as Práticas Sustentáveis nas aulas dessa disciplina. Para atingir esse objetivo, empregou-se uma investigação de campo, utilizando como instrumento de coleta de dados o Teste de Associação Livre de Palavras para 104 professores de Educação Física. Os dados foram tratados utilizando-se o software IRAMUTEQ, a partir da técnica de análise prototípica. Os resultados observados foram representações sociais sobre práticas sustentáveis nas aulas de Educação Física associadas às noções de reciclar e reaproveitar materiais. Essas representações sociais sobre práticas sustentáveis nas aulas de Educação Física estão limitadas à produção de equipamentos esportivos utilizando materiais recicláveis. Portanto, tornam-se necessárias intervenções cabíveis para transformar essas representações sociais compartilhadas pelo grupo, buscando uma aproximação com práticas sustentáveis que ultrapassem a perspectiva naturalista.
Ler e escrever nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental?: o que dizem as crianças?
Authors: Ciardella Thaís Monteiro , Galian Cláudia Valentina Assumpção , Pietri Émerson de
Published: December 2024

Neste artigo são apresentados resultados de pesquisa realizada com o objetivo de se conhecer o que pensam as crianças estudantes dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental sobre o trabalho escolar com a leitura e a escrita, discutindo os modos como significam suas experiências escolares e os possíveis impactos do que vivenciam nesse âmbito sobre suas trajetórias escolares. Participaram da pesquisa estudantes de uma escola municipal da cidade de São Paulo que então cursavam o 1º, o 2º e o 5º anos. O processo metodológico envolveu a observação do cotidiano escolar, o registro de imagens fotográficas da escola pelas crianças e a realização de rodas de conversa sobre o que as fotografias revelam sobre sua relação com a escola. Os dados produzidos com a pesquisa nos possibilitam supor que o currículo dos primeiros anos do ensino fundamental em que se desenvolveu a investigação enfatizou a garantia da aprendizagem da escrita enquanto “técnica”. Chama a atenção, ainda, o pouco espaço que os livros literários recebem nas memórias das crianças sobre seu cotidiano na escola e a relação que reconhecem, no trabalho escolar, entre "aprender a escrever" e "fazer cópia" de conteúdos registrados na lousa. Ademais, destaca-se certa dificuldade por parte das crianças para entender o que devem saber e como devem expressar o que sabem para corresponder às expectativas escolares sobre sua produção escrita, o que remete a importantes reflexões sobre o currículo e os conhecimentos escolares de Língua Portuguesa nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental.

Published: December 2024

Drawing upon the concept of cultural negotiation, this qualitative study offers to explain how expatriates, who have been socialised to their profession in different countries, negotiate their differences in professional practices when working together in global professional service firms (GPSFs). Our findings show that expatriates identify more or less the same differences in practices but differ in the way they perceive and negotiate them. This work contributes to the literature on global/local tensions within GPSFs. The findings emphasise power relationships and different approaches to work between GPSFs from different countries, calling into question the assumption that working practices in these firms are homogeneous at global level.

Ethnic Nationalities and the Crises of Federal Democracy in Nigeria
Authors:   University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, Scholastica Ugwu Chioma
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the crises of federal democracy in Nigeria, focusing on the marginalization of the Igbo ethnic nationality from 1960 to the present, which has led to the rise of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and other secessionist movements. The goal is to examine the distribution of political appointments and positions along ethnic lines, emphasizing the underrepresentation of Igbo people in positions of national leadership. The issue stems from Nigeria's federal structure, which has not promoted inclusive governance, resulting in desires for self-determination and ethnic strife. The paper examines the patterns of ethnic exclusion and how they have contributed to the marginalization of the Igbo under Nigeria's federal structure using the consociationalism theoretical framework. The study used secondary sources of information from the internet, including books, journal articles, newspapers, government documents, and other pertinent sources. The article suggests political changes that prioritize fair power distribution within a unified country, namely restructuring. It comes to the conclusion that inclusive governance systems are essential to resolving the problems of marginalized ethnic groups like the Igbo and ensuring the long-term viability of Nigeria's federal democracy. The ongoing exclusion of certain groups from positions of political and economic power will probably intensify ethnic tensions and jeopardize national unity in the absence of such reforms.

What determines the survival time in a cancer case? An obvious aspect is the malignancy of the tumor. Based on our clinical observation, this so-called malignancy includes three aspects: 1) The mode of tumor replication, i.e., how rapidly a tumor replicates; 2) The ability to form distant metastasis; and 3) The ability to cause symptoms, often related to the ability to drive local inflammation. But tumor malignancy alone does not seem to correlate with cancer survival. Another factor contributing equally critical or even more critical to cancer survival is often ignored. It is the status of host antitumor immunity. Tumor malignancy is only the determinant factor for cancer survival when concomitant antitumor immunity is absent in a case. With a strong antitumor immunity, regardless of tumor malignancy, a case is likely to survive much longer than that of a case with a week or none antitumor immunity. Thus, antitumor immunity is a more influential factor than tumor malignancy on cancer survival. Yet, the status of antitumor immunity has been consistently ignored in clinical management of cancer and still is as of today. Unless it is clearly demonstrated in cancer cases that the lack of antitumor immunity is the most critical factor influencing survival, clinicians are unlikely to pay attention to the status of antitumor immunity in each case, less to say to manage accordingly. There have been many previous studies to link immunity to cancer survival in numerous statistical analyses, but these findings did not raise alert in clinicians to the point that the status of antitumor immunity is being considered in selection of treatment plan when it comes to individual cases. In this report we try to describe few individual cases in which the status of antitumor immunity is clearly responsible for survival. We hope the conmen aspects and clear contrasts in these cases will bring a more vivid picture to clinicians who will then realize how important is the status of antitumor immunity in each cancer cases and learn to select treatments based on the status of that immunity.
Análisis de los impactos psicosociales en las comunidades locales turistificadas de Barcelona y Lloret de Mar

Published: December 2024

Este artículo investiga los impactos psicosociales de la turistificación, un fenómeno que transforma las comunidades locales mediante el aumento de la actividad turística. A través de los marcos teóricos de la teoría del intercambio social y la teoría de la solidaridad emocional, se analiza cómo las comunidades de Barcelona y Lloret de Mar responden emocionalmente al turismo. Mediante un enfoque cuantitativo, se evalúan las actitudes hacia los turistas, destacando elementos como la hospitalidad, la proximidad emocional y la empatía. Los resultados revelan que las respuestas emocionales varían según la percepción de los impactos negativos del turismo, como el estrés y la sensación de pérdida de control, influenciadas por la dependencia económica y factores demográficos como el género y la edad. Además, se cuestiona la noción de “turismofobia”, sugiriendo que las actitudes negativas están vinculadas a dinámicas políticas y contextos socioeconómicos más amplios. Este estudio aporta una comprensión más profunda de las emociones en la interacción entre residentes y turistas, enfatizando la necesidad de una planificación turística  que contemple los impactos psicosociales, especialmente en relación con las mujeres y los jóvenes.
