Authors: Morais Kaique Machado , Lara Hygor Santiago , Brito Jorge Nei
Published: September 2024

Neste trabalho, apresenta-se a aplicação da Metodologia Kaizen nos processos e no funcionamento de um misturador emulsificador, com foco na otimização da produção de embutidos em uma indústria de alimentos. A Metodologia Kaizen tem sido adotada com sucesso por várias empresas de diferentes segmentos, contribuindo para a cultura de mudança e impulsionando o desempenho organizacional para alcançar metas específicas de melhoria. Em empresas onde os Custos de Manutenção são elevados e impactam a qualidade dos produtos, os prazos de entrega e a satisfação do cliente, a Metodologia Kaizen tem proporcionado excelentes resultados. Através de um estudo de caso, foi possível confirmar a eficácia da Metodologia Kaizen implementada na linha de Bologna, onde foram obtidos ganhos significativos e tangíveis. A análise pós-implementação revelou uma redução significativa nos Custos de Manutenção, passando de uma média mensal de R$ 48,10 para R$ 2,30, representando uma economia de R$ 45,80. Além disso, os benefícios incluíram uma revisão eficaz do motor INOTEC 225, melhoria na confiabilidade do motor com a instalação de um mancal entre o motor e o conjunto ferramental, mitigação do risco de acidentes e uma redução de 10 horas de impactos ao longo de um ano.

Published: September 2024

O hidromel é uma bebida fermentada a partir do mel de abelha. A composição desta bebida pode conter água e sais, além do teor alcoólico que varia entre 4% e 14% (20 °C). Apesar do hidromel apresentar grande aceitação dos apreciadores de sabores mais suaves, é possível que esta bebida seja atrativa para um nicho maior de pessoas. Com isso, a produção de hidromel pode ser vista como uma oportunidade para agregar valor à cadeia produtiva da região do Catolé do Rocha - PB. Baseada na literatura, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo otimizar a produção de hidromel, variando os parâmetros de fermentação: concentração de mel, temperatura e teor da fonte de nitrogênio. O planejamento fatorial realizado (23 + 3 no ponto central + configuração estrela) indicou que o aumento da fonte de nitrogênio, com temperatura acima de 24 °C e concentração de açúcar no mel em 17,5 °Brix, possibilitou a obtenção de valores máximos na produção de etanol, relacionado com o °Brix inicial. Os parâmetros escolhidos influenciaram diretamente na eficiência de conversão do substrato em hidromel, com teor alcoólico dentro da concentração indicada pela legislação.
A Comparative Study of Nietzsche's Ecological Philosophy and Hauerwas' Eschatological Creation Theology - Focusing on Ontological Non-violence Ethics -
Authors:   Theological Research Institute of Sahmyook University, Choi Gyeongcheon , Kim Bongkeun
Published: September 2024

Nietzsche criticized Christianity for causing us to lose the value of present life based on its belief in the afterlife and placed a new emphasis on life on earth in harmony with nature. He did not want the real natural world to be alienated by any more metaphysical hierarchy, nor did he want nature itself to be understood as a philosophical universal or scientific mechanistic theory through a human-centred hierarchy. At the end of his life, he emphasized the concept of ‘eternal return(Ewige Wiederkunft des Gleichen),’ where nature and human life come together within the earth and all ontological aspects are affirmed within it.
However, Hauerwas agrees with Milbank's criticism that monistic ontology from Nietzsche to Deleuze does not solve the problem of violence that exists in the universe. He argues that human sin and violence in the world can be eliminated only through non-violence advocated in the historical narrative of Jesus Christ and eschatological creation theology that faithfully achieves the divine purpose in history. In addition, Hauerwas believes that the natural law-friendly idea shown by scholastic theology in the Catholic tradition ultimately undermines Christianity's unique creation theology. It is argued that true Christian ethics is possible only through the narrative of eschatological divine history that began from creation and was preceded by the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
This paper focuses on ontological non-violence and discusses how Nietzsche and Hauerwas show similarities in the epistemological aspect but are completely opposite in their belief in the existence of a metaphysical world in the ontological aspect.
Suicide as a Violation of Individual Safety
Authors: Kaszubowski Roman
Published: September 2024

The article presents a symptomatic analysis of suicide attempts that are committed by people of different age ranges, both people of middle age, i.e. the most susceptible to suicidal behaviour, as well as adolescents, but also the oldest people. This study, in addition to presenting a general picture of the phenomenon in terms of its size, is also an attempt to carry out an etiological diagnosis of self-destructive behaviour in individual demographic categories. The main goal of this study was also to draw attention to a very important social problem, which is still suicide and the need for necessary education in the fi eld of preventive interventions, including developing the ability to perceive signals or behaviours that may indicate an individual suicidal context, as a threat to individual safety. The scope of the discussed issues concerns various forms and determinants of social maladjustment of individuals in different age ranges, in very different life situations, different emotional state, roles and tasks performed in relation to society.ResumenEste trabajo presenta un análisis sintomatológico de los atentados suicidas cometidos por personas de distintas franjas de edad, tanto en el grupo de mediana edad, es decir, el más susceptible de sufrir comportamientos suicidas, como en la categoría de los más jóvenes, pero también en el grupo de mayor edad. Además de presentar una imagen general del fenómeno en cuanto a su magnitud, el estudio es un intento de realizar un diagnóstico etiológico de los comportamientos autodestructivos en categorías demográfi cas concretas. El objetivo esencial era también llamar la atención sobre un problema social muy importante, que siguen siendo los suicidios y sobre la necesidad de una educación necesaria en el ámbito de la realización de acciones preventivas, incluyendo la formación de las habilidades de percepción de las señales o comportamientos que pueden indicar un contexto suicida individual, como una amenaza a la seguridad individual. El alcance de las cuestiones planteadas se refi ere a las diversas formas y condiciones de inadaptación social de individuos de diferentes rangos de edad, en situaciones vitales muy distintas, con diferentes estados emocionales y roles y tareas desempeñadas en relación con la sociedad.Palarbas clave: Palabras clave: suicidología, seguridad individual, intento de suicidio, conducta suicida, autodestrucción, autolesión, acto suicida
Rewitalizacja terenów pokopalnianychw Zagłębiu Dąbrowskim. Studium przemian
Authors: Dylong Karolina
Published: September 2024

Analiza rewitalizacji terenów poprzemysłowych w Zagłębiu Dąbrowskim obejmowała trzy lokalizacje: kopalnię „Saturn”, „Maczki-Bór” i „Grodziec”. Badanie skoncentrowało się na zmianach krajobrazowych oraz ocenach działań rewitalizacyjnych i rekultywacyjnych. Kopalnia „Saturn”, zamknięta w 1997 roku, została przekształcona w przestrzeń kulturalną i turystyczną, co poprawiło sytuację społeczno-ekonomiczną regionu. Kopalnia „Maczki-Bór” skoncentrowała się na rekultywacji terenów i ich przekształceniu w przestrzeń przemysłowo-usługową, co pozytywnie wpłynęło na lokalną gospodarkę. Natomiast kopalnia „Grodziec” pozostaje zaniedbana, z brakiem działań rewitalizacyjnych, co prowadzi do dalszej degradacji i problemów estetycznych oraz bezpieczeństwa. Wnioski wskazują, że skuteczna rewitalizacja wymaga odpowiedniego zarządzania, inwestycji oraz zaangażowania lokalnych społeczności. Przekształcenie terenów poprzemysłowych w atrakcyjne przestrzenie publiczne wspiera rozwój regionalny, poprawia jakość życia mieszkańców i wpływa pozytywnie na lokalną gospodarkę.
Revival of A’ özvegy Karnyóné (The Widow of Mr Karnyó) : A Survey of József Ruszt’s Interpretation of Csokonai
Authors: Timár András
Published: September 2024

József Ruszt was a significant theatre director, teacher and company organiser in the second half of the 20th century. It is the task of contemporary theatre historiography to study his life’s work and his approach to theatre. In Ruszt’s entire oeuvre, the programmatic staging of Hungarian dramas, including Csokonai’s works, was of outstanding importance. As Ruszt explains: “I love old Hungarian literature. I do not only love its language and its intellectual landscape, but also its undertakings, which are unparalleled in Europe, and I feel that this undertaking is still relevant today, although not for the same reasons as back then.” My research attempts to explore the topicality of Ruszt’s reading of Csokonai through the (re)construction of his production of The Widow of Mr Karnyó, which was performed at the University Stage in 1965. My paper focuses on three aspects: What extent can university (stage) life be a determinant of the freedom movement of theatrical language? What kind of form language did the Universitas Ensemble’s performance use, which circumvented the contemporary realistic-naturalistic canon of form? How did a performance of an 18th century Hungarian drama become one of the most successful and internationally acclaimed performances by the Universitas Ensemble?

The Idea of ‘Loosening the Bond Between Ground and Structure’ in Antiquity and Archaeological Evidence on Antiseismic Foundations
Authors: Kaplan Davut
Published: September 2024

Antiseismic structures in antiquity are often overlooked or disputed by those working in the field, even though they are not mentioned in written sources. At the very least, it should be recognized that some of the traditional structures and building techniques of ancient cultures in Anatolia and surrounding regions were antiseismic before today’s concrete structures. In fact, these techniques were sometimes applied over a wide geographical area and sometimes in a narrower region, as if under the control of a central government, administration or idea, and continue to be used for a long time. Archaeological studies reveal that some construction methods were widely used to support structures affected by dynamic loads. Such methods were applied and developed by engineers, architects and artisans who were fully aware of the effects of earthquakes on structures. Therefore, antiseismic structures must have emerged due to awareness of earthquake hazards. Wood in foundations and walls in Anatolia in the Bronze Ages, sand in Mesopotamia and Egypt, sand, ash, coal and lime in Greek architecture, and opus caementicum in Rome were applied in and under the foundation in more durable or long-lasting building construction techniques. Undoubtedly, wood and wood foundations have been known and used since the Bronze Age. Unfortunately, with the emergence of new materials and technologies, the traditional architectural understanding of Anatolia was almost wholly removed from construction practice. As in modern constructions, in archaeological studies, attention is paid to the structures’ above- ground units, while the underground foundation sections are overlooked. Data about the use of wood in the groundwork is sometimes discovered by chance. This article demonstrates that the idea of loosening the bond between structure and ground was known in ancient times. Although the technical solutions used in the past match the principles of base insulation, it is arguable whether they are genuinely antiseismic as they are today.

O ensino de química se caracteriza como uma ciência experimental, apresentando conteúdos complexos que dificultam a compreensão dos estudantes. Diante dessa realidade, a utilização de recursos tecnológicos, como smartphones, por meio da manipulação de aplicativos (Apps), tem se mostrado eficaz para promover a aprendizagem de forma interativa e dinâmica no ensino fundamental brasileiro. Com o objetivo de demonstrar a efetividade dos Apps no processo de ensino – aprendizagem nas aulas de química, o presente artigo apresenta uma breve revisão do uso dos celulares e Apps no processo de ensino e aprendizagem nas aulas de Química. A metodologia utilizada foi uma revisão sistemática qualitativa do tipo exploratória, por publicações advindas de banco de dados publicados no período de 2017 a 2020. A discussão da pesquisa demonstrou que os Apps de celular, podem ser utilizados como recurso de ensino da matéria de química, tendo em vista que há inúmeros aplicativos relativos ao ensino da disciplina, que possibilita o ensino de forma dinâmica e significativa, formalizando assim, o desenvolvimento do interesse do estudante sobre a aprendizagem aos assuntos planejados na ementa escolar. É preciso considerar que a utilização das tecnologias, são significativas e específicas no ensino da química, porém, a metodologia tradicional de contato interpessoal, ainda corresponde como um recurso indiscutível na consolidação do aprendizado.

Published: September 2024

O objetivo da elaboração deste artigo foi compreender a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica através do levantamento do Estado da Arte, o papel do Inspetor Escolar na atual conjuntura. Assim, acreditamos ser relevante nosso estudo científico, pois o mesmo enquanto um trabalho inédito visa ampliar o conhecimento sobre o papel da inspeção escolar de forma crítica e reflexiva; buscando ao mesmo tempo, uma melhor compreensão sobre o papel do Inspetor(a) Escolar a partir das produções científicas atualizadas. Quanto ao tratamento dos dados, foram utilizados para o levantamento das produções científicas voltadas para o objeto: Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Capes; SciELO; Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD); Google Acadêmico. Durante a confecção deste trabalho científico, percebemos que a temática Inspeção Escolar é pouco estudada, tendo em vista a importância dos profissionais Inspetores Escolares no desenvolvimento da educação brasileira. Entendemos que a categoria necessita de uma reorganização através de uma legislação qualitativa que traga o bem-estar para estes profissionais, voltada para a garantia de direitos conquistados, que seja promotora de trabalhadores qualificados para os desafios impostos ao fazer da educação brasileira.

Makala hii inahusu ala za sintaksia na namna ambavyo zinaweza kutumika katika ufafanuzi wa dhima za kisarufi za viambajengo vya sentensi za lugha ya Kiswahili. Licha ya ufafanuzi wa kina uliofanywa kuhusu mada hii, bado kuna masuala ambayo hayako bayana au yana utata. Mathalani, kuna utata juu ya dhima za kisarufi za viambajengo vinavyotokea mara baada ya kitenzi. Haiko wazi iwapo kila kiambajengo kinachotokea katika nafasi hiyo ni yambwa au la. Kwa hiyo, makala hii inalenga kufafanua ala mbalimbali za kisintaksia na kueleza namna ala hizo zinavyoweza kutumika kufafanua dhima za kisarufi za viambajengo vya sentensi za lugha ya Kiswahili ili kutatua utata unaoweza kujitokeza kuhusu dhima hizo. Data za makala hii zimepatikana kwa mbinu ya hojaji pamoja na usaili na kuchambuliwa kwa kutumia misingi ya Sarufi Leksia Amilifu. Kwa ujumla, tumebaini kuwa kuna ala kuu tano za kisintaksia katika lugha ya Kiswahili. Ala hizo ni pamoja na ukategoria wa neno, viambajengo vya maneno, viambishi, vijineno maalumu na kiimbo. Ala hizi ndizo zinazowasaidia wanasintaksia kufafanua dhima mbalimbali za kisarufi kama vile kiima, yambwa, yambiwa, yambwaϴ, oblikyumahali na chagizo. Ala za kisintaksia ni nyenzo muhimu katika ufafanuzi wa dhima za kisarufi za viambajengo vya sentensi za Kiswahili.
Dhima ya Visasili katika Riwaya za Nagona na Mzingile
Authors:   Chuo Kikuu Kishiriki cha Elimu cha Dar es Salaam, Mbijima Rose J.
Published: September 2024

Nagona na Mzingile ni riwaya zilizoibua mjadala mkubwa katika fasihi ya Kiswahili. Upekee wa riwaya hizo umewasukuma wataalamu wengi kuandika mengi kuhusiana nazo. Makala hii imechangia katika mjadala huo kwa kuvishughulika visasili vilivyomo katika riwaya hizo. Kwa hiyo, malengo ya makala hii ni kuvibainisha visasili hivyo kisha kujadili dhima yake katika riwaya teule. Makala ilihusisha usomaji wa riwaya tajwa kabla ya kuanza kuvichambua visasili vilivyoshughulikiwa. Ili kukamilisha malengo yake, makala imetumia nadharia mbili, yaani Nadharia ya Mwingilianomatini na Nadharia ya Uhemenitiki. Nadharia ya Mwingilianomatini imetumika wakati wa kuvibainisha visasili katika riwaya za Nagona na Mzingile. Pia, Nadharia ya Uhemenitiki imetumika wakati wa kujadili dhima za visasili katika riwaya teule. Matokeo ya utafiti huu yanaonesha kuwa katika riwaya ya Nagona kuna kisasili cha Edipode, kisasili cha manju wa ngoma ya uhai na kisasili cha mama na kijana wake. Kwa upande wa riwaya ya Mzingile, kuna kisasili cha Kakulu na kisasili ya Adamu na Hawa. Aidha, tumebaini kuwa visasili vilivyotumika katika riwaya za Nagona na Mzingile vina dhima ya kujenga uhalisiaajabu katika riwaya tajwa, kuleta tafsiri anuwai za riwaya husika na kujenga maudhui kuhusu ukweli, asili na maana ya maisha.
Kategoria za Hofu ya Mwanadamu katika Riwaya ya Kiswahili: Uchunguzi wa Riwaya Teule

Published: September 2024

Mwanadamu huweza kukumbwa na hofu inayojikita katika ufahamu na upembuzi wa masuala mbalimbali yanayomzunguka. Kimsingi, hofu humsababishia mwanadamu huyo kuwa na maamuzi ya kufanya au kutofanya jambo fulani. Kwa asili, mwanadamu ndiye kiumbe mwenye urazini ambaye matendo yake yanaweza kubainisha bayana kuwapo kwa hofu. Waandishi mbalimbali wa kazi za fasihi huwasuka wahusika wenye hofu katika ujenzi wa maudhui lengwa. Hata hivyo, hakuna ithibati dhahiri zinazoonesha kategoria mbalimbali za hofu zinazomkumba mwanadamu kwa kuhusisha na bunilizi za Kiswahili. Kwa mantiki hiyo, makala hii inajadili kategoria tano huku ikijiegemeza katika riwaya za Rosa Mistika (1971) na Ua la Faraja (2004). Kwa ujumla, uteuzi wa riwaya hizi umezingatia kigezo kwamba katika ujenzi wa visa, wahusika wake wanaisawiri hofu kulingana na maudhui lengwa. Data za matokeo haya zilipatikana maktabani kwa kutumia mbinu ya usomaji matini kwa kujiegemeza katika riwaya teule. Vilevile, katika uchunguzi, uchanganuzi na mjadala wa matokeo hayo, misingi ya Nadharia ya Uhalisia imetumika. Matokeo yanaonesha kuwa zipo kategoria mbalimbali za hofu zinazomkumba mwanadamu. Hata hivyo, makala hii imejadili kategoria kuu tano tu, ambazo ni: hofu ya kutokuwa na uwezo wa kuzaa na kulea watoto, hofu ya mahusiano, hofu kuhusu nguvu za Mungu, hofu ya kuyafikia matarajio na hofu ya kifo.
Observed correlations between person-means depend on within-person correlations
Authors: Haslbeck Jonas , Epskamp Sacha
Published: September 2024

Intensive longitudinal data have become a common data type across psychological disciplines. A key issue in the analysis of such data is the separation of within-person and between-person effects. This problem is well studied for the effect of between-person effects (e.g., varying intercepts) on within-person parameters (e.g., cross-lagged effects). In this paper, we discuss a less appreciated effect of within-person correlations on correlations between person-wise means. Using simulations and an analytical derivation, we show how observed correlations between person-wise means are a function of both population between-person correlations and within-person correlations. This has implications for the interpretation of statistical relationships between person-wise means, for example when estimated directly from the data or within stepwise approaches to estimating multilevel vector autoregressive models, such as in the popular R package mlVAR. We discuss implications for applied research and possible strategies to avoid this problem.
Public service and human resources management standards in 2023 Principles of public administration – something old and something new?
Authors: Rabrenović Aleksandra
Published: September 2024

The objective of the paper is to examine what are the key novelties in the SIGMA/ OECD Human Resources Management (HRM) standards set out in the 2023 edition of the Principles of Public Administration. The public administration reform values contained in the revised version of the Principles have become new benchmarks against which the progress in public administration reform will be measured in the EU acceding countries. The author concludes that a new edition of the Principles of Public Administration from 2023 imposes fewer rules while requiring better practices and results in the analysed areas of public service and HRM, taking into account emerging social context changes (i.e. digitalisation, need for more flexibility in working arrangements etc.) which is a welcome development. The Principles also demonstrate a gradual change of the requirements of the EU for accession to potential member states in the field of public administration, from "check-box" approach towards assessing the effects of the reform in practice. The question, however, remains to which extent the new version of the Principles will be able to exert pressure on public administration reform efforts in the acceding countries, especially in politically sensitive areas such as civil service politicisation. The author concludes that this will largely depend on the EU’s decision on “what matters most” in the accession process and the ability of the acceding countries to apply and internalize key Principles’ values, such as professionalism, integrity and neutrality.
Negotiating sovereignity, the European Union and the metamorphosis of the empire
Authors: Vale Giangiacomo
Published: September 2024

The European Union is neither a federation nor a confederation, but it is not even a State or an international organization. In fact, all these definitions reveal an ideological bond with a State-centered mentality, and do not take into account the new governance dynamics which are replacing national sovereignty within the EU. In this respect, the most suggestive (and even more controversial) concept, which has been proposed in recent years, is that of the Empire. The paper addresses basically two issues: whether it is possible to conceptualise the EU as an Empire, that is to think of the EU through the prism of the Empire; whether the pre-national and pre-sovereign functioning of the Empire can help to think about a meta-sovereign and meta-national European future.
Decolonizing Western Phonics
Authors: Prof. Ignatius Chukwumah
Published: September 2024

Studies have focused on written children’s literature, and only recently, those on performances for children have concentrated on social effects. However, a novel strand of children's performance, Uncle Wowo (a Facebook/YouTube performance page) whose anchor, Uncle Wowo, resorts to a performative mode that draws on the Idoma (an indigenous Nigerian language) alphabet to spell-read English words. First, he spells each alphabet. This study draws on Idoma spelling and articulatory system, English pronouncing conventions and sundry concepts of decolonization to unveil how Uncle Wowo guides his humorous purposes to online child auditors by focusing on the most defining skits containing words capturing the fragmentation of the autochthonous African worldview. These words which range from the names of countries, places of worship, acts/items of worship embodying foreign thoughts and ethics to those serving as impediments to the indigenous group’s complete humanization, especially because they were the heritage of colonialism alien to the indigenous users. This essay argues that Uncle Wowo’s performance was a decolonising performative act that retrieves the African language from the sphere where it symbolises the language of the oppressed to that which it figures actual liberty, even if, linguistically. Paulo Freire’s theory of critical pedagogy assists in this symbolic retrieval, revival and liberation of the oppressed through the restoration of the thought-language of the dehumanised and colonised. The essay concludes that as insignificant as children's humorous performance, Uncle Wowo dares to upstage Western pronouncing patterns in obviously negligible ways but significantly decolonising of Western linguistic pedagogies.
Invisibility in Visibility: The Child-Trickster in "Frank Donga Versus Baby Landlord" Comedy Skits on Youtube
Authors: Yadok Bizuum Godwill
Published: September 2024

The advent of social media in digital technology has proved to be a blessing in disguise for many entrepreneurs as it de-emphasized the physical location of markets for dissemination of goods and services thus exponentially boosting their profit margin. Another set of entrepreneurs who have exploited social media space to earn substantial income are creative minds who have carved a niche for themselves by churning out creative content of various forms such as music, short films, pranking, interviews, comedy skits and the like. This set of entrepreneurs have been able to get major social media giants like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pay them for the engagements their content attracts regularly. Like the Mark-Angel comedy skits on social media, Frank Donga runs a series of comedy skits on YouTube, many episodes of which he features an invisible smart child-like character known as Baby Landlord. This paper examines factors responsible for Baby Landord’s ingenuity and his ascription of power, especially from a Marxists and Foucaultian perspective, using a sample of three episodes of Frank Donga versus Baby Landlord comedy skits on YouTube.
A Pragmatic Study of Digital Communication among Students at Federal University. Wukari, Nigeria
Authors: Frederick Victor Elendu , Ogbazi Vivian Ijeoma
Published: September 2024

The new media, also known as social media, among other benefits, promotes communication among students as well as language development in linguistically diverse contexts in Nigeria. On the university campus, students who have been experiencing difficulties in contributing to interactions in classrooms and other formal settings on the campus, appear to find voice in these electronically mediated spaces. Communication in digital spaces accommodates linguistic and paralinguistic cues. Thus, it is characterized by innovations, which include an admixture of languages and varieties of Nigerian English, graphics, memes, and emojis, among others. This study examines some posts by students as well as comments on the posts on a Federal University Wukari students’ Facebook forum.  Information from the analysis of data reflects the linguistic practices of the students, the kind of information and knowledge they share as well as their communicative procedure. Findings from the study also reflect on the sociolinguistics and implications of social media communications on the University community as well as in the society in general.

Published: September 2024

Las Empresas Familiares se caracterizan por su mala organización, falta de procedimientos, inexistencia de políticas de inventarios y toma de decisiones centralizadas por los miembros de la familia originando una tasa muy elevada de mortalidad. Esta investigación, de tipo exploratoria y descriptiva, presenta el contexto de la administración de la Cadena de Suministro de la Empresa Familiar en el estado de Puebla, México. Está soportada por una revisión sistemática de la literatura obtenida en repositorios de publicaciones científicas y páginas afines, además de la aplicación de una encuesta a 370 dueños de empresas familiares. El resultado de esta investigación acentúa que la administración de la Cadena de Suministro de las Empresas Familiares del Estado de Puebla, contribuye a la creación de empleos y desarrollo comunitario. Sin embargo, se encontró que existen deficiencias en la administración, gestión y estructura organizacional, lo cual pone en riesgo su supervivencia en el mediano y largo plazo. En este sentido, la competencia de las empresas familiares se puede mejorar, fortaleciendo los procesos que interaccionan en cada uno de los eslabones de la Cadena de Suministro. Las propuestas de esta investigación son el punto de partida para generar futuras investigaciones sobre las disrupciones en cada uno de los eslabones en pequeñas y medianas Empresas Familiares en otras regiones de México.

Objective

To describe the preparedness for, epidemiological characteristics of and public health responses to the first and second waves of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) in six remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Queensland from late 2021.

Design

This was a descriptive epidemiological study. Data were collated by each participating public health unit. Case and outbreak characteristics were obtained from the statewide Notifiable Conditions System.

Setting, participants

Six discrete remote First Nations communities across Queensland were selected to represent a broad geographic spread across the state: Badu Island, Cherbourg, Lockhart River, Palm Island, Woorabinda and Yarrabah. People with a positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) test result recorded between 13 December 2021 and 12 June 2022 who acquired the infection and isolated in one of the six communities.

Main outcome measures

COVID‐19 vaccination coverage among First Nations people; number of COVID‐19 cases reported; and attack rates for each community.

Results

All six First Nations communities led the COVID‐19 preparedness and planning. COVID‐19 vaccination coverage rates before the first outbreak ranged from 59% to 84% for the first dose and from 39% to 76% for the second dose across the six communities. During the study period, 2624 cases of COVID‐19 in these communities were notified to Queensland Health. Attack rates for each community were: Badu Island, 23%; Cherbourg, 34%; Lockhart River, 18%; and Palm Island, Woorabinda and Yarrabah, 35% each. The 2624 cases included 52 cases (2%) involving hospital admission and two cases (< 1%) in which the person died from COVID‐19.

Conclusions

It is likely that the co‐designed, collaborative partnerships between local councils, community‐controlled health services, state health services and public health units positively impacted the management and outcomes of COVID‐19 in each of the six communities.

Improper care of the umbilical cord can lead to premature detachment and increase the risk of umbilical cord infection (neonatal tetanus). As long as the umbilical cord has not detached naturally, it needs to be properly cared for. Failure to do so can result in infection characterized by moisture, pus, and a foul odor around the umbilical cord. This review aims to determine the influence of mothers' knowledge on the care of the umbilical cord in newborns. This review aims to investigate the impact of mothers' knowledge on the care of the umbilical cord in newborns. This study utilizes a literature review method, utilizing journal articles obtained from Google Scholar, SINTA, and Garuda databases, published between 2019 and 2023, with full text available in the Indonesian language. Based on the reviewed journals, it was found that 7 journals discovered the influence of maternal knowledge on umbilical cord care in newborns, while 4 journals stated that there are still mothers who perform umbilical cord care incorrectly according to the procedure. Based on the literature review of 10 research journals, respondents' characteristics among postpartum mothers can be classified based on age, educational level, and occupation. All these factors significantly impact a mother's knowledge regarding the care of the umbilical cord in newborns, highlighting the importance of health education in enhancing maternal knowledge.

Philosophie nach Auschwitz
Authors: Zimmermann Rolf
Published: September 2024

Hamas' latest terrorist attack on Israel has brought the trauma of the Holocaust back into the focus of global politics. Philosophy after Auschwitz formulates criteria of moral and political responsibility for the reorientation of Israel's right to exist and Palestinian self-determination. The framework is provided by the analysis of historical experience, which affirms human rights in conflict with Nazism, Stalinism and their successors. In addition, assessing the Middle East Conflict concerns the current key question of how, in view of the experiences of the Shoah and Nakba, Israeli-Palestinian coexistence is possible within a national and international framework, not only in terms of commemoration but also in terms of realpolitik.

Eyes on the ball: Teachers’ rating processes when assessing a national L2 speaking test through the lens of their scoring document
Authors:   Karlstad University, Sweden, Byman Frisén Liliann
Published: September 2024

The administration of national second language (L2) tests in schools has increased during the last decades. Speaking is often missing from tests, possibly because it is particularly challenging to assess in a reliable and standardized way, not least when communicative competence is part of the test construct. This study examines how teachers attend to the challenges of L2 speaking assessment, by studying why and how scoring documents are used in the rating process of a national L2 English speaking test in Sweden. Data consist of stimulated recall interviews with 13 secondary-school teachers. The method of analysis was qualitative thematic analysis guided by the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (ATD, Chevallard, 2007). Findings show that teachers reported on a three-step rating process, where scoring documents were used in relation to the purpose of each step. In Step One, the documents were regarded as beneficial for a focus on relevant criteria and for quick notetaking. In Step Two, students’ spoken performances were reflected in notes to which teachers referred to analytically decide the score. A third step was added after the score was determined, when notes were passed on to stakeholders. Analysis of interview data indicates washback effects from the test on teaching, and illuminates teachers’ assessment responsibilities in a system increasingly affected by accountability.
