Automatic analysis of X (Twitter) data for supporting depression diagnosis
Authors: Królak Aleksandra , Wiktorski Tomasz , Żmudzińska Aleksandra
Published: January 2024

Depression is an increasingly common problem that often goes undiagnosed. The aim of this paper was to determine whether an analysis of tweets can serve as a proxy for assessing depression levels in the society. The work considered keyword-based sentiment analysis, which was enhanced to exclude informational tweets about depression or about recovery. The results demonstrated the words used in the posts most often and the emotional polarity of the tweets. A schedule of user activity was mapped out and trends related to daily activity of users were analyzed. It was observed that the identified X (Twitter) activity related to depression corresponded well with reports on persons with depression and statistics related to suicidal deaths. Therefore, it could be construed that people with undiagnosed depression express their feelings in social media more often, looking, in this way, for help with their emotional problems.

Authors: Silva Júnior Juarez Antonio da , Silva Junior Ubiratan Joaquim Da
Published: January 2024

Surface water is the most important resource and environmental factor for maintaining human survival and ecosystem stability, therefore accurate and timely information on surface water is urgently needed. In this study, an image classification approach using Artificial Neural Networks was proposed for mapping the surface water extent of the Carpina-PE Dam using radar image from the Sentinel-1 satellite, as well as its polarizations (VH and VV) and the generated water indices (SDWI and SWI). All datasets presented limitations in detecting small water bodies, such as narrow rivers, and overestimation in pasture areas, generating commission errors ranging from 16.5% to 28.9% and omission errors ranging from 1.47% and 3.5%, with emphasis on VH and VV polarizations. The overall classification accuracy ranged from 96% to 98% and R² values reached close to 1, where the best performance was seen for SDWI and SWI. The comparative experiments indicated that unitary radar polarizations with water spectral indices were useful for improving the accuracy of extracting water bodies in places with clouds, without significant variations, in addition to providing detailed information, with potential for continuous monitoring.

Authors: Sapendi Sapendi , Prasojo Zaenuddin Hudi , Munastiwi Erni
Published: January 2024

This qualitative study explores the parenting practices of young Islamic parents in Pontianak, Indonesia, amidst the evolving contexts of pop Islamism and fluid Islamism. The research uses anthropological lenses to focus on early childhood parenting within millennial Islamic families. The city of Pontianak, characterized by rapid development, ethnic and cultural diversity, and varied religious practices, provides a unique setting for examining these dynamics. Data collection encompassed observations, interviews, and documentation, targeting millennial Muslim parents born between 1981 and 1996, with children aged 0-8 years, totaling 83 participants. Interviews spanned a range of Islamic ideologies, including popular Islamism, tarbiyah, Tahrir, Salafi, and jihadist. The methodology involved data assembly, comprehensive observation, coding, categorization into themes, and narrative presentation. The results reveal diverse parenting patterns influenced by religious affiliations, advisors, worship practices, and explicit or implicit religious affiliations. While parenting styles varied, a high prevalence of authoritarian approaches was noted, with religion playing a pivotal role in child-rearing decisions and social interactions. The study also highlights the material aspects of parenting, including doctrinal ideologies and their manifestation in everyday life. The findings provide crucial insights into contemporary Islamic society's social and religious dynamics, emphasizing the need for an inclusive, multidimensional approach to understanding Islamism that extends beyond political and ideological realms. This research contributes to a deeper comprehension of Islamic millennial families' social and cultural intricacies in Indonesia and their strategies for balancing religious traditions with modern challenges.
The Influence of the Inquiry Project-Based Learning Model on Critical Thinking Skills in Early Childhood: A Quantitative Experimental Study
Authors: Yuliani Roficha , Abd Jabar Cepi Safruddin , Maryatun Ika Budi
Published: January 2024

This study aims to measure the impact of the Inquiry Project-Based Learning model on the critical thinking abilities of children aged 5-6 years at Budya Wacana Kindergarten, Yogyakarta. The research methodology adopted an experimental quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design, specifically the one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 35 children selected through the Total Sampling technique. Data were collected using observation sheets and documentation, with instruments focusing on five indicators of critical thinking ability. Data analysis employed normality tests, homogeneity tests, and paired sample t-tests using SPSS 25. The results indicated a significant increase in posttest essential scores of thinking (86.03) compared to the pretest (47.60), with a t-value of -31.352 and a significance of 0.000. These findings affirm the effectiveness of this learning model in enhancing early childhood critical thinking skills while also opening opportunities for further research in early childhood education. This study has significant implications for educational practice, suggesting integrating the Inquiry Project-Based Learning method into the curriculum and highlighting the need for teacher training to implement this method. However, limitations exist, such as focusing on a limited sample size and not evaluating long-term effects.
First record of a cylindrical Dipterocladia (Ceramiales, Delesseriaceae), D. cylindrica sp. nov., from Korea based on morphological and molecular analyses
Authors: Kang Jeong Chan , Yang Mi Yeon , Oh Yeo Kyeong , Kim Myung Sook
Published: January 2024

We describe a new species, Dipterocladia cylindrica, found in the subtidal zone of the eastern and southern coasts of Korea. This species has cylindrical branches with numerous sub-dichotomously branching monosiphonous determinate branchlets without adventitious filaments, heavy cortication throughout the thallus, and alternating clockwise periaxial cell formation. The external features of the new species are closer to those of the genus Dasya than to those of Dipterocladia, which have flattened thalli with pairwise distichously arranged monosiphonous pseudolateral and polysiphonous determinate laterals. However, based on the combined results of plastid rbcL and mitochondrial COI–5P sequences, the molecular phylogenetic relationships clearly indicate that our specimens belong to the genus Dipterocladia. We also detected more meaningful morphological characters for delineating the genus within the subfamily Dasyoideae by comparing the morphology and phylogeny, but we could not find unique characters for each clade. Further studies based on reproductive morphology and molecular phylogeny for delimiting the generic boundaries are needed.
Alternations (at) that time: NP versus PP time adjuncts in the history of English
Authors: Zehentner Eva
Published: January 2024

The present paper investigates variation between nominal and prepositional adjuncts of time as in, for example, [on] that day, they left. The main goals are (i) to assess potential changes in the distribution of these variants in the history of English, specifically from Middle English to Late Modern English (1150–1914), and (ii) to test which factors most strongly impact the choice between the two variants, with a focus on the impact of different complexity measures. To address these questions, the paper makes use of data from the Penn-Helsinki Parsed Corpora of Historical English (PPCME2; PPCEME; PPCMBE), explored by means of logistic regression modelling. The results suggest that there is no dramatic, sweeping change in this abstract alternation over time, but that this variation may mainly plays out on lower, noun-specific levels.

User independent tool for the analysis of data from tensile testing for database systems
Authors: Babaei Nima , Wang Jing , Kisseler Elisabeth , Ackermann Marc , Wipp Sebastian , Gramlich Alexander , Krupp Ulrich
Published: January 2024

Data streams in science and economy are becoming increasingly automatized. This has various advantages compared to previous, user-dependent analyses, in which the same results are analyzed differently by different persons. Even though these differences are only of a certain degree, they can lead to false estimations of underlying material and process parameters as well as to missing comparability. In order to automatize previously user-dependent processes in the analysis of material tests, a modular database management system, called idCarl, has been developed. This system places a module as analysis pipeline between the experimental machine and the database. The database management system can be expanded with diverse modules, enabling the generation of user-independent data, which are fed automatically into the database. To provide an example, a module is applied to the common procedure of tensile testing based on DIN EN ISO 6892 and CWA 15261-2. The module determines automatically Young’s modulus and other parameters derived thereof. The method for determining the measurement uncertainties of the Young’s modulus is improved and compatibility with the “Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement” (GUM) is achieved. The existing method in ISO and CWA standards provides in some cases an underestimation of about 112 %.
The S1 subunits of SARS-CoV-2 variants differentially trigger the IL-6 signaling pathway in human brain endothelial cells and downstream impact on microglia activation
Authors: Stangis Michael , Adesse Daniel , Sharma Bhavya , Castro Eduardo , Kumar Kush , Kumar Neil , Minevich Masha , Toborek Michal
Published: January 2024

Objectives

Cerebrovascular complications are prevalent in COVID-19 infection and post-COVID conditions; therefore, interactions of SARS-CoV-2 with cerebral microvascular cells became an emerging concern.

Methods

We examined the inflammatory responses of human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC), the main structural element of the blood–brain barrier (BBB), following exposure to the S1 subunit of the spike protein of different SARS-CoV-2 variants. Specifically, we used the S1 subunit derived from the D614 variant of SARS-CoV-2, which started widely circulating in March of 2020, and from the Delta variant, which started widely circulating in early 2021. We then further examined the impact of the HBMEC secretome, produced in response to the S1 exposure, on microglial proinflammatory responses.

Results

Treatment with S1 derived from the D614 variant and from the Delta variant resulted in differential alterations of the IL-6 signaling pathway. Moreover, the HBMEC secretome obtained after exposure to the S1 subunit of the D614 variant activated STAT3 in microglial cells, indicating that proinflammatory signals from endothelial cells can propagate to other cells of the neurovascular unit. Overall, these results indicate the potential for different SARS-CoV-2 variants to induce unique cellular signatures and warrant individualized treatment strategies. The findings from this study also bring further awareness to proinflammatory responses involving brain microvasculature in COVID-19 and demonstrate how the surrounding microglia react to each unique variant derived response.
Micropolar flow and heat transfer within a permeable channel using the successive linearization method
Authors: Abdalbagi Mohammed
Published: January 2024

This research investigates the flow of micropolar fluid and heat transfer through a permeable channel using the successive linearization method (SLM). The study considers parameters such as coupling, spin-gradient viscosity, and micro-inertia density. The partial differential equations involved are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using similarity variables. The resulting nonlinear equations are solved using the SLM technique, and their accuracy and computational efficiency are validated through comparative analysis with previous results. The study shows that increasing the parameters of coupling and spin-gradient viscosity has a positive impact on fluid flow, microrotation, heat transfer, and mass transport, as demonstrated by the increased dimensionless profiles. Conversely, an increase in the micro-inertia density parameter leads to a reduction in these profiles. This decrease can be attributed to the increase in the micro-inertia effect of fluid flow and heat transfer, resulting in a decrease in convection and a change in the flow pattern in the channel. Additionally, higher Reynolds numbers are associated with decreases in velocity, microrotation, temperature, and concentration distribution. This implies a reduction in fluid flow intensity, weaker heat transfer, and decreased mass transport. However, an increased Peclet number results in increased fluid temperature and concentration profiles, indicating enhanced thermal convection and mass transport. These findings have significant implications for applications involving micropolar fluids, such as lubrication systems, blood flow, microchannels, and filtration systems.
An overview on trehalolipids: a promising eco-friendly bio-surfactant
Authors: Khandare Vinayak C. , Madankar Chandu S.
Published: January 2024

Amphiphilic surfactants, which are currently used mainly for cleaning purposes, are produced in large quantities from petroleum, but are often harmful to the environment and poorly biodegradable. Therefore, the importance of environmentally friendly, non-toxic and skin-friendly biosurfactants is increasing. Different types of biosurfactants exist depending on their molecular structure. Trehalolipids belong to the low molecular weight glycolipids. Compared to other microbial glycolipids, they often show different properties and performances, including inhibition and enhancement of biodegradation rates. Optimisation of their production and downstream processing is one of the major obstacles to the potential use of trehaloselipids in a range of applications. This review provides an overview of different substrates and microorganisms used for trehalose lipid production, as well as various applications in bioremediation, biomedicine and microbial enhanced oil recovery.
KKV specifikus HR auditálás egy HR szolgáltató szervezetnél - Egy pilot kutatás tapasztalatai
Authors: Török-Kmoskó Judit , Dajnoki Krisztina
Published: January 2024

A TANULMÁNY CÉLJA

Célunk egy HR szolgáltató által létrehozott újszerű, KKV specifikus audit módszer sajátosságainak feltárása. A tanulmányban választ keresünk arra, hogy ez az innovatív módszer alkalmas-e annak a kérdésnek a megválaszolására, hogy a KKV szervezeteknek mely HR területeiket érdemes kiszervezniük külsős HR szolgáltatóhoz.

ALKALMAZOTT MÓDSZERTAN

A HR támogatás és kiszervezés vizsgálatát hazai és nemzetközi szakirodalom elemzésre, valamint további szekunder kutatásra alapoztuk és dokumentumelemzésen alapuló esettanulmányt készítettünk. Jelen értelmezésben az esettanulmány azt jelenti, hogy az auditot végző HR szakértők dokumentumelemzést hajtottak végre, melyet esettanulmány módszerrel vizsgálva részletes betekintést kaptunk egy valós, KKV szektorban működő szolgáltató szervezet gyakorlataiba. A vizsgálatot HR szakértőkkel végzett strukturált interjúkkal egészítettük ki, valamint visszamérési céllal interjút készítettünk a KKV első számú vezetőjével is.

LEGFONTOSABB EREDMÉNYEK

Az eredmények alapján az audit alkalmasnak bizonyult arra, hogy a KKV döntést hozzon a HR tevékenységek kiszervezése terén, optimalizálva ezzel az erőforrások felhasználását. A módszer segítséget nyújtott a jelenlegi HR gyakorlatok feltárásában és a hatékonyabb erőforrás felhasználást célzó döntések meghozatalában.

A HR audit módszer alkalmazása a KKV szektorban viszonylag új téma, amely relatíve alulreprezentált a hazai szakirodalomban. Ez a tény önmagában is indokolja annak jelentőségét. A HR funkciók kiszervezése és a humán erőforrások hatékony kezelése mindig is kiemelt jelentőséggel bírt a vállalkozások számára, azonban az átfogó módszerek és eszközök hiánya korlátozták a hatékony döntéshozatalt.

GYAKORLATI JAVASLATOK

A tanulmány összeállításkor arra törekedtünk, hogy új perspektívákat nyújtsunk a KKV-k számára a HR gyakorlatok fejlesztésére és a kiszervezési döntések meghozatalára.  Az általunk ismertetett HR audit módszer innovatív megközelítést képvisel, amely egyfajta döntéstámogató jelleggel segítséget nyújt a KKV szektorban a hatékony emberi erőforrás gazdálkodásban, illetve annak kiszervezésében és ezáltal a versenyképességük javításában.
A digitalizációhoz köthető recens hazai turisztikai fogyasztói szokások elemzése
Authors: Csapó János , Csóka László , Gonda Tibor , Végi Szabina
Published: January 2024

A TANULMÁNY CÉLJA
A digitális technológia megjelenése és alkalmazása a turizmus rendszerének egészében a modern turisztikai folyamatok egyre fontosabb formálója. Erre a jelenségre alapozva kutatásunk középpontjában a turisztikai fogyasztási szokásokban tapasztalható digitalizációval kapcsolatos hazai fogyasztói attitűdök vizsgálata áll. Tanulmányunk célja, hogy felfedje a Covid-19 járvány által jelentősen érintett turizmus szektorban a pandémia előtt, alatt és után tapasztalható digitalizációval kapcsolatos fogyasztói attitűdöket.
ALKALMAZOTT MÓDSZERTAN
Egy komplex kutatási projekt részeként a Covid-19 járvány idején és azt követően online kérdőíves megkérdezések és strukturált mélyinterjúk segítségével mértük fel a turisztikai fogyasztói magatartás digitalizációval kapcsolatos attitűdjeit. A kérdőív eredményeinek kiértékeléséhez leíró statisztikákat, míg a strukturált mélyinterjúk elemzéséhez kvalitatív tartalomelemzést alkalmaztunk.
LEGFONTOSABB EREDMÉNYEK
Összességében a világjárvány jelentősen megváltoztatta a turisztikai fogyasztói magatartást, és egyre fontosabbá tette a digitális lehetőségek használatát az utazók számára világszerte. Az eredmények (a felmérés nagymintás, de nem reprezentatív mivolta) alapján azonban az valószínűsíthető, hogy a magyar lakosság még mindig korlátozott és viszonylag kevés információval és tapasztalattal rendelkezik a digitalizációhoz köthető turisztikai szolgáltatásokkal és megoldásokkal kapcsolatban. A lakosság ezirányú igényei egyelőre csekélynek tekinthetők, ami a pandémia alatt ugyan érdemben megváltozni látszott, azonban a pandémia utáni fogyasztói attitűdök egyértelműen a fizikai, klasszikus utazás irányának visszaerősödése felé mutatnak.
GYAKORLATI JAVASLATOK
Fontos hozzáadott értékkel bír a tanulmányozott jelenségek kutatásának és a turisztikai fogyasztók reakcióinak folyamatos nyomon követése, annak érdekében, hogy jobban megértsük a hazai turisztikai fogyasztók digitalizációjával kapcsolatos, folyamatosan változó attitűdjeit. Ezáltal felismerhetővé válhat majd a fordulópont, amikor a digitális megoldások iránti igény a világ más tájain tapasztalhatóhoz elkezd felzárkózni.
A hazai borfogyasztás változása az utóbbi években
Authors: Harsányi Dávid , Hlédik Erika , Zarándné Vámosi Kornélia
Published: January 2024

A TANULMÁNY CÉLJA
A magyar borkultúra jelentős változáson ment keresztül az elmúlt évtizedekben. A fogyasztás, illetve annak összetétele és a fogyasztók preferenciái folyamatosan fejlődtek. A tanulmány célja a borfogyasztás változásának vizsgálata az utóbbi években, a Covid pandémia esetleges hatásainak feltárása, melynek keretében elemezzük a fogyasztás mennyisége, helyszíne, összetétele területén történt változásokat.
ALKALMAZOTT MÓDSZERTAN
Az elemzés alapjául a Nagy Bor Teszt adatai szolgáltak, amely a hazai borfogyasztási és vásárlási szokásokat vizsgálja online kérdőíves felmérés keretében. Az évenkénti felmérés eredményeképpen összehasonlíthatóvá váltak a pandémia előtti és utáni borfogyasztási szokások. Tanulmányunkban a 2016-os, 2018-as, valamint a 2021-es adatfelvételek eredményei segítségével vizsgáljuk e változásokat. Az eltérő mintanagyságok (2016-ban 27993 fő, 2018-ban 8552 fő, 2021-ben 1461 fő) ellenére az adatok meglehetősen nagy stabilitást mutattak.
LEGFONTOSABB EREDMÉNYEK
A három kutatási fázis eredményei alapján az látszódik, hogy a fogyasztás mennyiségében nem tapasztalható jelentős átrendeződés, illetve a hazai borok iránti preferencia is töretlennek mondható. Ugyanakkor az otthoni borfogyasztás aránya megnövekedett, ehhez kötődően pedig a borvásárlás célja is változott, amely köthető a Covid pandémiához. A borfajták fogyasztása tekintetében leginkább a száraz fehérbor és az édes vörösbor esetében mutatkozik némi elmozdulás, amely azonban vélhetően nem hozható kapcsolatba a járvánnyal.
GYAKORLATI JAVASLATOK
A piaci szereplők, borászatok számára az eredmények a piac fokozatos átrendeződésére utalnak, amelyet figyelembe kell venniük stratégiájuk, marketing, illetve kommunikációs tevékenységük kialakítása során. Az otthoni fogyasztás növekedése magával hozhatja a bolti, illetve az online eladások emelkedését, tehát e csatornákat érdemes megerősíteni. A termékszortiment átvizsgálásával, esetleg átalakításával pedig a változó fogyasztási preferenciákhoz szükséges alkalmazkodni.
Minőségdimenziók a BME gazdasági mesterképzésének vizsgálatában
Authors: Kovács Stefan , Veres István , Bíró-Szigeti Szilvia
Published: January 2024

A TANULMÁNY CÉLJA
A világszerte átalakuló felsőoktatási intézményekben, köztük hazánkban is, a verseny fokozódik az oktatási szolgáltatások minősége terén. A Covid-19 világjárvány katalizátorként szolgált a digitális eszközök elterjedéséhez a felsőfokú oktatásban is, jelentős támogatást nyújtva az oktatóknak és hallgatóknak egyaránt. Azonban kevés figyelmet szenteltek eddig a hazai és nemzetközi kutatások az online jelenlét hatásának vizsgálatára: milyen hatással van a személyes és online tanulás az oktatás minőségére a hallgatók szemszögéből érzékelve. E kutatás keretében arra fókuszáltunk, hogy megértsük az empátia és a digitális eszközök szerepét az oktatási folyamatokban. A vizsgálat részeként egy többszöri keresztmetszeti kutatás megközelítést alkalmaztunk, kiterjesztve a Covid-19 járvány előtti, alatti és utáni időszakokra, és részletesen elemezve a Budapesti Műszaki és Gazdaságtudományi Egyetem (BME) gazdasági mesterképzésén részt vevő hallgatók körében.
ALKALMAZOTT MÓDSZERTAN
A tanulmányunk során a szolgáltatásmarketingben alkalmazott SERVQUAL modellt használtuk a változások mérésére. A kutatás eredményeit egy átfogó felmérés részeként mutatjuk be, amely a Covid-19 járvány előtti, alatti és utáni időszakokra terjed ki. Az öt tényezőcsoport közül (fizikai környezet, megbízhatóság, készségesség, hozzáértés és empátia) különös hangsúlyt fektettünk az empátiára.
LEGFONTOSABB EREDMÉNYEK
A kutatás eredményei nem csupán a marketing oktatás területén tapasztalt preferenciaváltozásokra hívták fel a figyelmet, hanem átfogó betekintést nyújtottak abba is, hogy ezek a változások milyen hatással vannak az oktatókkal és a technikai eszközökkel szembeni hallgatói elvárásokra. Az elmúlt években bekövetkezett transzformációk alapján megérthetjük, hogyan formálódik át a hallgatói élmény, és milyen irányokba halad a felsőoktatás minősége.
GYAKORLATI/GAZDASÁGPOLITIKAI JAVASLATOK
Javasoljuk, hogy a kutatás eredményeit integrálják a felsőoktatási fejlesztési tervekbe, így elősegítve a hallgatók minőségérzékelésének növelését. Ezáltal a felsőoktatási intézmények jobban alkalmazkodhatnak az új kihívásokhoz és elvárásokhoz, amelyeket a digitalizáció és a változó preferenciák hoztak magukkal.
Mesterséges intelligencia etikai dilemmái: ellenszenv felmérés és következmények
Authors: Somosi Zoltán , Hajdú Noémi
Published: January 2024

A TANULMÁNY CÉLJA
A tanulmány célja annak feltárása, hogy hogyan viszonyul a Z generáció a mesterséges intelligenciához, különös tekintettel az elfogadási és ellenszenvet kiváltó tényezőkre. A kutatás további célja, hogy megértsük, milyen aggodalmak és vélemények élnek ebben a generációban a mesterséges intelligencia különböző aspektusaival kapcsolatban.
ALKALMAZOTT MÓDSZERTAN
A tanulmány a Miskolci Egyetem Z generációs hallgatóinak körében végzett online kérdőíves felmérést. A 132 fős minta tisztítását követően 131 válasz értékelhető volt. A kérdések során 1-től 5-ig terjedő Likert-skálát és szemantikai differenciál skálát használtunk, melynek során a kitöltők kifejezhették a mesterséges intelligenciával kapcsolatos attitűdjeiket.
LEGFONTOSABB EREDMÉNYEI
A kutatás eredményei szerint a mintában szereplő Z generációs hallgatók általánosan ellenszenvet éreznek a mesterséges intelligencia iránt. Az átlag értékek alapján a hallgatók aggodalmat mutattak azokon a területeken, ahol a technológia hatása a legjelentősebb, például a munkanélküliség, egyenlőtlenség és a technológia irányíthatóságát illetően.
GYAKORLATI JAVASLATOK
A tanulmány alapján gyakorlati javaslatok kínálhatók az oktatási intézmények, vállalatok és szakpolitikai döntéshozók számára. Az oktatás során kiemelt hangsúlyt kell fektetni a mesterséges intelligencia képzésére és az etikai szempontokra. A vállalatoknak szükségük van azokra a stratégiákra, amelyek segítik az elfogadást, és az állami szerepvállalásnak irányítania kell a technológia fejlődését, hogy garantálja az egyenlőséget és az etikai normák betartását. Az eredmények ismeretében a szakpolitikai döntéshozóknak a mesterséges intelligencia fejlődését szabályozó törvények kidolgozását kell szem előtt tartaniuk.
Exploring nonstandard service frontline situations
Authors: Liska Fanny , Veres Zoltan
Published: January 2024

THE AIMS OF THE PAPER
Jaycustomer behavior often increases the unpredictability of the service to an unmanageable extent. A co-creation based development can be presumed in the attitude of the consumer and of the frontline staff. The primary goal of this research was to investigate the dynamics of interactions between customers and frontline staff, particularly in nonstandard situations. This study aimed to understand how 'jaycustomer' behavior, which includes unpredictable and challenging customer actions, impacts these interactions and the overall service process.
METHODOLOGY
To explore the above, the study employed a quasi-secondary data collection method (narratives, netnography). Frontline conflicts were simulated based on a mystery shopping scenario. Mystery shoppers were instructed to combine two theoretical jaycustomer types – the Belligerent and the Egocentric Edgar (the selfish) – in their approach. These shoppers were tasked with observing various aspects of frontline staff behavior, including reactions, communication, gestures, and problem-solving intentions.
MOST IMPORTANT RESULTS
The simulations led to the identification of distinct behavioral patterns on both sides of the customer-staff interaction. The study highlighted specific jaycustomer oriented patterns and the frontline staff's response strategies. Furthermore, essential human resource management skills in dealing with such jaycustomer scenarios were identified, providing insights into both customer and employee behavior in challenging service situations.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The findings of this research offer significant implications for service management and marketing theory, particularly in developing a consensual model for managing frontline processes. Additionally, the study suggests that reviewing and aligning staff training content with these research findings could be a fruitful direction for enhancing human resource management practices in customer service environments. An expert interview conducted post-experiment further affirmed special tasks for frontline management to handle such jaycustomer situations effectively.
Solution-Focused Play Therapy: The Magic of Strengths-Based Play
Authors: Hartwig Elizabeth Kjellstrand , Taylor Elizabeth R.
Published: January 2024

Solution-focused play therapy (SFPT) is a strengths-based approach to play therapy that helps children work through challenges by building on internal assets and external resources (Hartwig, 2021). SFPT is comprised of specific play therapy skills and techniques that are developmentally appropriate for all ages of children, with an emphasis on nondirective skills for younger children and more directive skills as children gain cognitive and verbal abilities. As a strengths-based theoretical modality, SFPT focuses on identifying small, measurable goals, and then working with the child to identify skills and strategies that can help them reach their goals. This article will review the history, evidence base, and foundations of SFPT, the solution-building process, and SFPT basic skills, techniques, and interventions. This article serves as an overview of the SFPT approach and underscores why this approach should be recognized in the play therapy field.

Transforming Paper into a Therapeutic Drama Stage: A Case Study of a Chinese Primary Student on the Use of Drawing in a Drama Counseling Model
Authors: Ma Liwen
Published: January 2024

This article presents a case study of how drawing paper can be integrated into a therapeutic drama stage. It will propose drawing in drama counseling as a new model of integral drama-based pedagogy. The article illustrates the connection of drawing, drama, and counseling. The model was developed by the author using the methods of integral drama-based pedagogy to counsel a Chinese primary school student who was angry about rejection and exclusion by his classmates. The study demonstrates how the student could use drawing paper to become his drama stage and how a student acted out a drama by drawing on that paper stage. The case study describes a method that could lead to a new therapeutic model in individual mental health counseling allowing for emotional catharsis, expression, and release. The article especially discusses the drawing in drama counseling model from Wu-wei of the Chinese culture.
A Review of the Creative Dialogues Project: Using Creative Arts Online during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Harvey Steve , Wang Si , Kelly E. Connor
Published: January 2024

In this article, the authors review the Creative Dialogues project, which began in January 2020 as a response to the health crisis that was then emerging in China. The authors asked a group of creative arts therapists from China, Guam, and the USA to join them to develop arts-based collaborative improvisations using dance, art, creative writing/poetry, and fairytale-making about their experiences related to COVID-19 in an online setting. The project expanded to be international in scope as the virus spread and continued until November 2022. The authors reviewed the metaphors and verbal reflections created in these meetings. In this review, the authors identified five broad themes that included personal connection, confrontation of the unknown, conflict, resilience and hope, and spirituality. Examples of the themes are presented.
Artistic Workshops with Patients of a Psychiatric Day Hospital in France
Authors: Magrin-Chagnolleau Ivan
Published: January 2024

This article delineates a study conducted within a psychiatric day hospital in France, adhering to the principles of institutional psychotherapy and therapeutic clubs that originated from the anti-psychiatric movement of the 1970s. The study specifically explores two activities within this framework: a music club and a video club. The primary objective of each club was to establish activities involving both the patients and the care staff to dissolve the boundaries between them. Additionally, these activities aimed to engage both patients and care staff in the conceptualization and execution processes, thereby fostering a collaborative approach within the psychiatric care setting.
THE EFFECT OF REDUCING THE SUGAR AND FAT CONTENT ON THE PHYSICAL AND SENSORY PROPERTIES OF CUPCAKES
Authors: KARAOĞLU Mehmet Murat Karaoğlu , ZABİHOLLAHİ Negin
Published: January 2024

In this study, the effect of reducing the sugar (50%, 100%) and fat (50%, 75%) content on the physical and sensory properties of cupcakes was investigated by using stevia and polydextrose as sugar and fat replacers, respectively. While reducing the fat content increased the density of the cake batter, it caused a decrease in the consistency values such as firmness, consistency, cohesiveness and viscosity index. Reducing the sugar content had the opposite effect, decreasing the batter density and significantly increasing the batter consistency. Reducing only sugar and only fat content showed better results than control, while reducing both sugar and fat content together negatively affected the textural properties of cakes. In general, reducing only sugar content decreased sensory satisfaction compared to reducing only fat content. The samples with only 50% reduced fat content were most liked in terms of all sensory parameters. It was concluded that only sugar or only fat contents can be reduced by 50% in cake production, especially considering the specific volume, textural and sensory properties.
Imagining the Mexican Immigrant Worker
Authors: Chávez Ernesto
Published: January 2024

This article argues that the Chicano movement should be looked upon as a unique historicalproduction. It focuses on the Committee to Free Los Tres (and later CASA) and examines its construction of ideology, identity, and community based upon the organization’s understanding of the social, pofiticaz, and economic forces-both national and intemational-impinging upon it. In so doing, the organization imagined the Mexican immigrant-worker as the representative subject for the Mexican origin-population in the United States. The essay also examines the rise and fall of both the Committee to Free Los Tres and CASA and attempts to pinpoint the reasons for their success and demise. Ultimately, the author calls for a new conception of Chicano/a identity and community that is rooted in the circumstances that presently confront the multgaceted ethnic Mexican community in the United States.
Reading Chicano/a Writing about the American War in Viet Nam
Authors: Mariscal Jorge
Published: January 2024

Over the last twenty years, readings of literature about the American war in Southeast Asia have beenfiltered through the prism of poststructuralist the0 y and the trope ofpostmodemism. The recuperation of Chicana and Chicano writings about the war, a process I began in the anthology Aztlán and Viet Nam, introduces a previously unknown corpus of cultural material that has the potential to transform accepted knowledge about the war, the movimiento period, and their attendant representations. The Chicano/a “experience” of traumatic events like the war may require alternative epistemologies and reading strategies (for example, dialectical realism or testimonial writing) that are firmly grounded in the historical “real” of the period and therefore better for decoding social and textual contradictions and meanings.
The Politicization of Chicago Mexican Americans
Authors: Michelson Melissa R. , Pallares Amalia
Published: January 2024

This article examines the politicization of Mexican Americans in the time period surrounding the 1996 national elections. Two sets of survey data for Chicago Latino neighborhoods are examined, including an exit poll from 1996 and a telephone survey from the spring of 1997. Analysis of that data reveals that (1) recently naturalized Mexican American voters are significantly more concerned with racism and discrimination than are native-born Mexican American voters or non-naturalized Mexicans ❨noncitizens❩, and (2) first-time Mexican American voters, whether recently naturalized or not, are more concerned about racism and discrimination than are habitual Mexican American voters. We argue, using logistic regression to support our hypotheses, that the heightened sensitivity to racism and discrimination among recently naturalized and recently politicized Chicago Mexican Americans is due to the political atmosphere created during the 1996 election season.
Mexicans and “Business as Usual”
Authors: Dash Robert C. , Hawkinson Robert E.
Published: January 2024

Although the past two decades have witnessed the growth of scholarly attention to Latino political mobilization in U.S. national elections, big cities, and rural areas, less attention has been directed to this phenomenon in small cities and towns. This article queries whether small jurisdictional cities and special districts in the United States have an impact on Mexican political mobilization and whether the size of jurisdictional area facilitates or impedes political mobilization. The article examines the factors inherent in governmental areas small in size and population that affect political mobilization. In order to answer these questions, we identify two alternative theories of small unit politics in the United States and examine Mexican mobilization in one small city, Woodburn, Oregon. We investigate Mexican attempts to influence the Woodburn policy agenda in the areas of housing and education. We conclude by considering which theories of small-unit politics best explain our findings.

Mexican Intellectuals’ Perceptions of Mexican Americans and Chicanos, 1920-present
Authors: del Castillo Richard Griswold
Published: January 2024

A historical analysis of academic and popular ideas about Mexican immigrants and their children by members of the Mexican intelligentsia reveals a changing understanding of the meaning of immigration and ethnicity. Starting with a widespread view of Mexican immigrants to the United States as “cultural traitors”, Mexican public opinion about this group gradually changed due to both the political evolution of Mexican intellectuals and the growing economic and political power of Latinos in the United States. The Mexican government has increasingly come to see Chicano political leaders as important to Mexico's relationship with the United States, while Mexican intellectuals increasingly regard Chicano academics as their allies in a struggle against North American hegemony.
Chicanoizing Don Quixote
Authors: Childers William
Published: January 2024

This article looks at three novels that appropriate the character of Don Quixote as a symbol of Chicano resistance to Anglo American hegemony: Daniel Venegas’s Las aventuras de don Chipote, Ron Arias’s The Road to Tamazunchale, and Genaro Gonzalez’s The Quixote Cult. Tyze goal is in no wag to demonstrate the “influence”of Cervantes on Chicano writers, but rather the opposite: to explore the dimension of Don Quixote that their work has uncovered. After briefly looking at the treatment of Cervantes’s character in each of the novels, a Chicano reading of Don Quixote is elaborated, in which the value of this character for a community subjected to internal colonialism is explored. For Chicano writers, Don Quixote stands for resistance to this kind of colonialism. Could such a reading provide new insights into the original seventeenth-century novel? A basis for this interpretation can be found in the historical context in which Cervantes wrote, for Spain was undergoing a process of internal colonialism paralleling the colonization of the New World. The treatment of the moriscos throughout the sixteenth century is the most vivid example, but we should also keep in mind the alienation felt by the conversos, a group to which Cervantes himself may have belonged. The rasquachismo of Don Quixote’s use of a barber’s basin for a helmet can thus be understood in terms of the historical parallels between the situation of Chicano writers and that of Cervantes himself
Colonialism and Movies in Southern California, 1910-1934
Authors: Berg Charles Ramírez
Published: January 2024

Once the film industry moved to Los Angeles fiom the East Coast in the 1910s, Hollywood became the source of the negative stereotyping of Latinos in mainstream American cinema. This article argues that the anti-Mexican American discourse in Southern California during the motion picture industry’s formative years provided the social context for those derogatory film images. In doing so, the essay synthesizes two bodies of literature that rarely comment on one another: early Hollywood studio history and works treating the Mexican American experience in Southern California. Three main elements that shaped the anti-Mexican American discourse are discussed: (a) the ostracizing of Mexican Americans to East Los Angeles at the same time that movie companies were flocking to the opposite side of town; (b) the social, economic, and political climate that resulted in anti-Mexicano attitudes, and (c) the view of Mexico as a playground for the United States.
Youth, Evidence, and Agency
Authors: Chávez-García Miroslava
Published: January 2024

Using case files of the Whittier State School, California’s leading reform school in the early twentieth century, this essay examines the possibilities of gleaning the historical agency of Mexican and Mexican American youth who found themselves confined to an institution that granted them little, if any, decision-making power. As scholars have shown, escapes and attempted escapes from such institutions provide evidence of agency, that is, of real and symbolic moments of resistance to authority. This study demonstrates that, despite the odds against them, youth of Mexican descent had the courage to run away and did so repeatedly, more often than their Euro-American and African American counterparts. Sometimes they formed multiracial and multiethnic groups to plan escapes, and occasionally they used violence. Although Whittier State School staff eventually foiled the plans of most escapees, a significant number of them managed to stay away indefinitely, enabling them to take control of their lives, at least in the short term.
