Authors: Wardat Yousef , Belbase Shashidhar , Tairab Hassan
Published: May 2022

Mathematics teachers’ perceptions and awareness of different kinds of assessments (e.g., diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments) may affect their classroom practices. In this context, the current study explored mathematics teachers’ perceptions and self-reported practices teaching mathematics for Trends of International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in Abu Dhabi schools in the United Arab Emirates. A teacher perception questionnaire was designed, then was administered to 522 mathematics teachers in Abu Dhabi schools in the academic year 2020–2021. A One-Sample t-test, Independent Sample t-test, and ANOVA tests were performed for the four-component variables of teacher perceptions, namely, teachers’ perceptions of TIMSS, their instructional practices in relation to TIMSS, the readiness of students for TIMSS, and the school and classroom environment for TIMSS. The results showed no statistically significant difference between male and female teachers in mathematics teaching practices with a focus on TIMSS or their perceptions of student readiness for TIMSS; however, there were differences in their perceptions of the school and classroom environment that were statistically significantly. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference between public and private schools in the practice of mathematics teachers for TIMSS, while the difference was statistically significant on views regarding student readiness for the TIMSS as well as on the school and classroom environment. The findings of the present study have both pedagogical and policy implications, which are discussed at the end of this paper.

Published: May 2022

The study investigates the potential for takaful operators to collaborate with the government by using drones to identify victims in the event of a mass disaster. It is critical to emphasise that takaful operators are not part of the government agencies involved in the search and rescue (S&R) operations. Nevertheless, takaful operators are part of the critical chain in the risk management process because they are the parties that will issue compensation to victims if they are takaful participants (policyholders). Through semi-structured interviews, feedback on this issue was gathered from key informants who are experts in their fields. This study included 21 key informants: first responders to an emergency or disaster from Malaysian government agencies, forensic experts, takaful association, drone practitioners (including drone pilots, Vice President (VP) of drone consultation services, and the owner of a drone company), actuarial expert, Shariah experts, regulators (representatives from the central bank), takaful participants, and accounting expert. Findings indicate that the benefits of using drones to the takaful operators are undisputable. Yet, the associated costs of using the device are the main concerns to the industry players. The middle path is to have joint funds between the takaful industry and the government to pool the funds for the national disaster management agency to employ drones for DVI needs in the event of a disaster. Thus, the findings of this study will be useful to the government and takaful association when developing future policy and guidelines for the takaful industry. Furthermore, this research adds to the body of knowledge and provides a better understanding of the subject.
Do Eco-Innovation Projects Target Environmental Fragile Areas? The Case Study of Some Italian Southern Regions through a Spatial Approach
Authors: De Falco Stefano , Corbino Alberto
Published: May 2022

A fundamental objective for the effectiveness and, above all, for the efficiency of the dynamics of environmental sustainability is related to the correct directing of project actions towards those areas that need them most. This contribution intends to verify whether the spatial distribution of eco-innovation projects in some regions of Southern Italy affects areas characterized by greater environmental fragility. The proposed approach highlights a centrality of the spatial perspective, thus underlining how important and necessary it is for political actors to evaluate the goodness of projects not in absolute terms but in relation to their relationship with the territory in which they are implemented. To this end, the methodology used envisages two actions, a cartographic comparison between the distribution of environmental projects and that of environmental fragility and an analytical evaluation of the spatial autocorrelation between contiguous areas to detect any geographical determinisms. The results show a “positive” independence regarding the presence of eco-innovation even in the absence of environmental fragility but not vice versa.

Authors: Dong Jieshuang , Li Yiming , Li Wenxiang , Liu Songze
Published: May 2022

Under the targets of peaking CO2 emissions and carbon neutrality in China, it is a matter of urgency to reduce the CO2 emissions of road transport. To explore the CO2 emission reduction potential of road transport, this study proposes eight policy scenarios: the business-as-usual (BAU), clean electricity (CE), fuel economy improvement (FEI), shared autonomous vehicles (SAV), CO2 emission trading (CET) (with low, medium, and high carbon prices), and comprehensive (CS) scenarios. The road transport CO2 emissions from 2020 to 2060 in these scenarios are calculated based on the bottom-up method and are evaluated in the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP). The Log-Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method is employed to analyze the contribution of each factor to road transport CO2 emission reduction in each scenario. The results show that CO2 emissions of road transport will peak at 1419.5 million tonnes in 2033 under the BAU scenario. In contrast, the peaks of road transport CO2 emissions in the CE, SAV, FEI, CET-LCP, CET-MCP, CET-HCP, and CS scenarios are decreasing and occur progressively earlier. Under the CS scenario with the greatest CO2 emission reduction potential, CO2 emissions of road transport will peak at 1200.37 million tonnes in 2023 and decrease to 217.73 million tonnes by 2060. Fuel structure and fuel economy contribute most to the emission reduction in all scenarios. This study provides possible pathways toward low-carbon road transport for the goal of carbon neutrality in China.

Published: May 2022

Alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) offer opportunities to lower fuel costs as well as to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and, therefore, they are a feasible option for customers in the market. Due to technological advancements, decisions about suitable alternative fuel vehicles are a challenging problem for fleet operators. This paper aims to introduce a multi-attribute decision-analysis framework to rank and select the “alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs)” for a private home healthcare service provider in Chandigarh, India. The selection of AFVs can be treated as a decision-making problem, because of the presence of various qualitative and quantitative attributes. Thus, the current work introduces an integrated decision-making framework based on intuitionistic fuzzy-“method based on the removal effects of criteria (MEREC)”, “ranking sum (RS)”, and the “double normalization-based multi-aggregation (DNMA)” framework for assessing the AFVs. The combination of MEREC and RS is applied to assess the objective and subjective weighting values of various parameters for AFV assessment. The DNMA approach is utilized to prioritize the different AFVs over various significant parameters. According to the outcomes, the most significant parameters for AFV assessment are social benefits, fueling/charging infrastructure, and financial incentives, respectively. In this context, globally existing AFVs for the sustainable transportation sector are identified, and then prioritized against fifteen different criteria relevant to the environmental, economic, technological, social, and political aspects of sustainability. It is distinguished that electric vehicles (G2), hybrid electric vehicles (G1), and hydrogen vehicles (G3) achieve higher overall performance compared to the other technologies available in India. The assessment outcomes prove that electric vehicles can serve as a valuable alternative for decreasing carbon emissions and negative effects on the environment. This technology contributes to transportation sector development and job creation in less developed areas of the country. Moreover, a comparison with existing studies and a sensitivity investigation are conferred to reveal the robustness and stability of the developed framework.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the global job market, with increasing unemployment rates leading to an unstable social situation that has affected college students’ job prospects. This situation has drawn the attention of the Chinese government and universities to the promotion of entrepreneurship. The present study used field theory to analyze the entrepreneurial intentions of 4926 college students in Hangzhou, an emerging global digital city. It was found that college students who had received entrepreneurship education were more likely to insist on entrepreneurship, while the native environmental field had a significant positive effect on students’ sustainable entrepreneurial intention (SEI). These findings provide a good reference for universities to promote entrepreneurial intentions among college students and provide advice on the construction of entrepreneurship education fields.
Traceability Models and Traceability Systems to Accelerate the Transition to a Circular Economy: A Systematic Review
Authors: Santana Silvina , Ribeiro Agostinho
Published: May 2022

Research and implementation efforts and investment in the circular economy are rising sharply. With the high stakes associated with achievements in the field, an increasing emphasis on evaluation, transparency and accountability are to be expected. All require high-quality data, methodologies and tools that are able to improve results and to assess and document the implementation processes and outcomes. A challenging key issue in the implementation of a circular economy is ensuring coordination, control and transparency within a network of parties. Traceability models and systems are vital pillars of such an endeavor, but a preliminary search of the available literature revealed a rather unstable and fragmented research field and practice. The objective of this systematic review was to examine those studies discussing traceability models and traceability systems while connecting traceability capacities and outputs to implement the principles of the circular economy. The literature databases were searched on 6 January 2020, with an update for the entire year of 2020. Overall, 49 studies were included. By addressing eight specific research questions, we found that a link between traceability and the circular economy is yet to be established. Sound research and practice documentation are required to establish evidence regarding this connection, including methodologies that are able to support the design and implementation of business- and lifecycle-oriented, value-based traceability models and traceability systems, along with thorough evaluation methods and tools incorporating economic, social and environmental perspectives.

The research and innovation in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) are crucial in helping achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. However, most developing countries including Myanmar fail to systematically collect information on TVET, and research in TVET is regarded as a neglected area. Therefore, the aim of the study is to take a preliminary approach toward the development of the TVET research and development (R & D) sector in Myanmar by highlighting the insights on how to initiate and promote TVET research and innovation in the country. To achieve the aim, the study conducted a literature review, a need analysis of the TVET R & D sector of the country and a contextual analysis of the focal TVET organization, and it identified the best practices from other countries. The drive to develop a concept of the TVET R & D sector in the country highlighted the need for the TVET sector development through R & D. Regarding the findings from the SWOT analysis, the focal TVET organization has to apply the suggested strategies including development of a R & D framework, training of the researchers, networking and cooperation to develop the TVET R & D sector in the country. Finally, a preliminary approach toward the TVET R & D sector development of Myanmar was taken for the sustainable development of the country.
Differences in Temporal Gait Parameters When Walking on Even Surface Walkway, Treadmill, and Pushing a Constant Resistant Sled
Authors: G. Rosario Martin , Orozco Elizabeth
Published: May 2022

Motorized treadmills and weighted sleds are employed in clinical settings to improve lower extremity strength, power, and endurance. However, little is known about how the spatio-temporal parameters compare when walking on an even surface walkway, walking on a treadmill, or pushing a sled. This study aimed to examine the variations in spatial and temporal gait parameters when walking on an even surface walkway (EW), on a treadmill (TW), and while pushing a sled (SP). Forty healthy subjects participated in this pilot study. The mean age and BMI of all participants were 24.39 (± 2.86) years and 68.26 (± 13.92) kg/m^2, respectively. Spatio-temporal parameters were gathered using the Mobility Lab ADPM software and six sensors containing accelerometers and gyroscopes. Participants were directed to walk at a normal and comfortable speed for 7 m on an even surface walkway for two trials. Next, the subjects walked on the treadmill for two trials at a speed based on age. For males aged <30 and females 20-40 years of age, the speed was 1.3 m/s. While for males aged 30 or older, the speed was set to 1.4 m/s. Finally, participants were instructed to walk at their normal pace while pushing a 60 lb sled for 9.1 meters (m). Treadmill walking provoked a significant increase in temporal variables, whereas pushing a sled significantly reduced the temporal variables. Treadmill walking resulted in a decrease in double limb support time and an increase in single-limb support time compared with even surface walking. Although cadence was greater when walking on a treadmill versus an even surface walkway, the difference may be attributed to a fixed speed on the treadmill, which was determined by age. Treadmill gait training is recommended for subjects that could benefit from an increase single limb support time to improve dynamic balance such as Parkinson patients. On the other hand, for those participants that dynamic activities are challenging, such as concussion and vestibular patients, pushing the sled will slow down gait parameters allowing gait training with an added resistance benefit. Finally, it has been proposed that further investigation should focus on the differences in lower extremity muscle activation and recruitment patterns under various walking conditions.

Solitary as an Oyster: Understanding Ephemeral Values on their Contemporary Society through the Curmudgeon Characters of Fedrick Backman’s Ove and Charles Dickens’ Scrooge
Authors: Pramileeswari M
Published: May 2022

This study is about analysing the curmudgeon personality of Ove and Scrooge and the reflection of their ephemeral values on their contemporary society, thereby highlighting the emotion of fatherhood as depicted by their characters. The study also focuses on the reasons that make these characters experience their self - inflicted loneliness. The two greying protagonists are featured in a humorous and heartwarming way. An emerging genre within this literature is the “geezer and grump lit”, as discussed by Swinnen (2019), a genre where older people are active protagonists, and while often portrayed as grumpy usually turn out to have a golden heart.

“Solitary as an Oyster”. This simile suggests the nature of a person who is tightly closed and will not open except by force. Like an oyster they don’t group. Charles Dickens uses this simile in his novel, A Christmas Carol in Stave-1. The author compares Ebenezer Scrooge to anoyster, saying that Scrooge was “Solitary as an oyster”. This comparison does not imply anything negative. Dickens uses this simile to highlight how Scrooge lived his life. On a similar platform, is the 59 year old widower and protagonist of Fredrick Backman’s A Man called Ove who bears so much resemblance. Ove is also grumpy, unfeeling and stoic is not necessarily a negative character in the story. Both Scrooge and Ove are curmudgeons in the society, the kind of people who point at people they dislike as if they were burglars caught outside their bedroom window. Both have staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse.

There are many Primary Urban Cooperative Banks (UCBs), forming a heterogeneous size and spread group. Many of these banks are very small in size and reach. They compete with more significant participants in the same banking space. Over the years, many urban cooperative banks became weak and non-viable, thus posing a systemic risk to the UCB sector. They lack avenues for raising capital funds since they cannot go for public issues of shares, nor can they issue shares to members at a premium. At the same time, there are many UCBs in the sector which is financially solid and viable. This sector in the recent past has witnessed significant developments that have far-reaching implications for the banking sector that is savings banking interest rate has been deregulated. It shows that the RBI gives a lot of freedom and autonomy for the smooth functioning of the UCBs. Hence, the virudhunagar UCB, by using independence and liberty, should bring in qualitative improvement in the method of functioning and altitudinal transformation and increase in per-employee Productivity, which will result in achieving the objectives of inclusive growth and sustainable development.This study, therefore, analyses Funds and Investment Management of Virudhunagar Urban Bank.

Die Entwicklung des Sonderschulwesens in den westdeutschen Ländern. Empfehlungen und Organisationsbedingungen
Authors: Dietze Torsten
Published: May 2022

Im Schuljahr 2017/18 wurden in Deutschland rund 317.000 Schülerinnen und Schüler in Förderschulen (Sonderschulen) unterrichtet. Die Förderschule stellt damit für rund 60% der Schülerschaft mit einem festgestellten sonderpädagogischen Förderbedarf den zu besuchenden Unterrichtsort dar. Trotz dieser hohen Zahlen an Förderschülern stehen die realen Organisationsbedingungen an den Förderschulen jedoch kaum im Blickfeld sonderpädagogischer Forschung. Inhalt dieser Arbeit ist es daher, differenziert nach sonderpädagogischen Förderschwerpunkten die Entwicklung des Förderschulwesens hinsichtlich seiner realen Organisationsbedingungen vor dem Hintergrund nationaler bildungspolitischer Empfehlungen aufzuarbeiten. Die Datengrundlage bilden hierzu auf der einen Seite Veröffentlichungen nationaler Akteure im Schulwesen wie insbesondere der KMK und des Sonderschulverbandes VDS (heute: Verband Sonderpädagogik e.V.) sowie auf der anderen Seite die amtlichen Daten der Schulstatistik des Bundes und der Länder sowie die KMK-Statistik zum Sonderschulwesen. Die bildungspolitischen Empfehlungen werden mit der realen Entwicklung in den einzelnen Förderschwerpunkten verglichen. Damit wird der sonderpädagogischen Forschung eine datenorientierte Untersuchung der Entwicklung des Förderschulwesens hinzugefügt, die ergänzt wird durch weitere Analysen wie den Anteil an Heimschulen oder die Bedeutung der Privatschulen. Abschließend werden Erweiterungen der statistischen Datenbasis erarbeitet, um die Organisationsbedingungen an Förderschulen konkreter abzubilden. Es wird darüber hinaus auch auf statistische Bedarfe zur zukünftigen Abbildung der inklusiven sonderpädagogischen Förderung verwiesen.

Em decorrência do intenso processo de envelhecimento da população, cresce a necessidade de cuidado ao idoso. As Instituições de longa permanência (ILPI) têm como objetivo garantir a atenção integral às pessoas com mais de 60 anos, defendendo a sua dignidade e os seus direitos, buscando prevenir a redução dos riscos aos quais idosos que não contam com uma moradia ou estrutura familiar se tornam expostos. No entanto, idosos residentes em ILPI, normalmente experimentam um alto nível de incapacidade funcional, déficits cognitivos graves, depressão e baixo nível de atividade física, passando a maior parte do dia envolvido em atividades sedentárias. Sabe-se que a preservação de funções físicas, como força muscular, equilíbrio e mobilidade são fundamentais para manter a capacidade funcional necessária para realização das atividades de vida diária (AVD). Por isso, é importante desenvolver intervenções que ajudem a evitar um estado de incapacidade física entre idosos institucionalizados, preservando assim, sua independência e autonomia. Para tanto, é importante que se adote um mecanismo de avaliação da funcionalidade do idoso, para identificar um possível grau de dependência nos diferentes componentes da aptidão física e assim selecionar intervenções adequadas com o objetivo de promover uma vida mais ativa e melhorar o desempenho das atividades da vida diária. Esta cartilha é um produto que compôs parte do projeto de mestrado realizado em uma ILPI e que utilizou um protocolo de avaliação funcional para identificar o nível de independência do idoso e assim, aplicar um programa de treinamento multicomponente sistematizado e personalizado de acordo com as condições físicas de cada um deles, com o objetivo de melhorar o desempenho físico funcional.
Los recursos didácticos en la enseñanza del análisis cinematográfico
Authors: Zavala Alvarado Lauro
Published: May 2022

ARTÍCULO
El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar la existencia, la utilidad y los alcances que tiene una docena de materiales didácticos para la enseñanza y la práctica del análisis de secuencias cinematográficas, una disciplina vinculada a la teoría del cine y derivada de la comprensión de textos literarios, gráficos, fotográficos y arquitectónicos. A lo largo del texto se comenta cada uno de estos tipos de materiales didácticos. Aunque la mayor parte de estos materiales han sido producidos en francés y en inglés, aquí se registran algunos producidos en lengua española. Al ser el análisis de secuencias una disciplina emergente en la región latinoamericana, es de particular interés conocer la existencia de estos recursos para la formación de los formadores.
Artes contextuales, socialmente comprometidas en El Salvador, Panamá y Honduras
Authors: Villalobos Herrera Alvaro
Published: May 2022

ARTÍCULO
Una de las características más importantes del arte actual es el valor conceptual y formal contenido en las obras que surgen de contextos políticos, económicos y socioculturales de la región donde se producen. Las tipologías contextuales centroamericanas observadas en esta ocasión a través del arte, específicamente en El Salvador, Panamá y Honduras, dejan entrever los elevados niveles a los que han llegado problemas como el extrañamiento político, las colonizacio- nes y los abusos económicos que han producido grandes dificultades en la vida de la población. De la misma manera se visualiza cómo influyen en el arte factores como la migración, los escasos apoyos otorgados para el desarrollo cultural y las subordinaciones del arte a decisiones gubernamentales en los países mencionados. Aunque estos problemas no son privativos de la región, en medio de la relatividad en la que suceden, modelan los modos de producción no sólo de ima- ginarios artísticos sino de pensamientos y acciones, tanto de los sectores populares como de las élites que los promueven.

Authors: López Betanzos Inés Marisela
Published: May 2022

ARTÍCULO
Se hace una identificación de los principales temas de la representación de desnudos femeninos en el cine moderno, desde los estudios visuales se hace una reflexión a partir de un corpus de películas que arrojan como resultado siete categorías: bello, objeto sexual, objeto de deseo, sexualidad femenina autónoma o la doble moral, indefenso, desequilibrado y cotidiano, que se reflexionan con teorías de las humanidades y feministas. El cuerpo desnudo de la mujer se piensa desde la teoría feminista de Laura Mulvey, el concepto de género de Marta Lamas y la sociología de Norbert Elias.
Trayectoria y contribuciones como ponentes en los Simposios de la Enseñanza de la Geografía en México (SEGM), 2004-2019
Authors: González-Pérez Raúl , Carreto-Bernal Fernando
Published: May 2022

El propósito de la presente comunicación es dar a conocer los aportes como ponentes en el evento de mayor importancia en México para el análisis de la disciplina geográfica desde su función educativa denominado; Simposio de la Enseñanza en México (SEGM).

 

Con el apoyo del método de review para identificación de tendencias, se revisaron y analizaron los materiales considerados en las memorias de resúmenes del SEGM de los últimos eventos celebrados de 2004 a 2019 en los cuales se ha tenido participación en temáticas relativas a la presentación de libros, programas, prácticas de campo, reformas educativas y análisis curricular entre otros, enfocados a los niveles de Licenciatura y Nivel Medio Superior de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México.

 

Los resultados reflejan una actividad sostenida durante 15 años con 11 intervenciones en los últimos ocho eventos en el periodo comprendido del 2004 al 2019, con aportes derivadas de las indagaciones de las instituciones representadas por los ponentes como objetos de estudio y fuentes de obtención de datos, los resultados, se espera, puedan ser útiles para la mejora de los procesos académicos y las prácticas institucionales en la disciplina geográfica en diversos niveles educativos.

La estructura del trabajo se plantea en tres apartados; en el primero se hace referencia a la relación histórica de los 11 SEGM, para precisar el objeto de estudio y el propósito del análisis. En el segundo se desarrolla la caracterización de las ponencias presentadas por los autores en los últimos 15 años en los niveles educativos medio superior y superior, en el tercero y último el análisis de resultados en relación con las ponencias presentadas a través de los paradigmas temáticos, orientaciones disciplinarias y enfoques metodológicos.
Valentino Fioravanti i duet z opery „Echo w Lesie” Wojciecha Pękalskiego i Józefa Elsnera
Authors: Chachulski Jakub
Published: May 2022

Jeden z sześciu numerów jednoaktowej opery Echo w lesie, dotychczas uznawanej za dzieło Józefa Elsnera, w rzeczywistości wykorzystuje muzykę duetu „Con un aria schizzinosa”  z opery Il furbo contra il furbo Valentina Fioravantiego, w praktycznie niezmienionej postaci. Zapożyczenie, choć sygnalizowane na premierowym afiszu, dotąd nie zostało zidentyfikowane. Odkrycie to przekreśla niektóre tezy stawiane przeze mnie w artykule „Echo w lesie Józefa Elsnera i Wojciecha Pękalskiego – późny pogłos włoskiego intermezza na warszawskiej scenie narodowej?” (Muzyka 65 (2020) nr 2), choć zarazem dodaje nowe argumenty za uznaniem premierowego pochodzenia zachowanej partytury Echa.

Design and Implementation of the Dynamic Spectrum Access on an Audio Stream in a Congested Environment
Authors: Nwukor F. N. , Okundamiya M. S.
Published: May 2022

This paper aims to design and implement the dynamic spectrum access (DSA) on an audio stream in a congested environment. The test approach for the DSA protocol is based on the frequency of selection of five chosen stations and the size of the audio file saved. The implementation of the DSA protocol was done with an FM received coupled with the energy detector and channel selection algorithm using a non-coherent FM demodulation procedure and the register transfer level - software defined radio (RTL-SDR) in MATLAB environment (version 2018b). The analysis of the results for the DSA protocol implemented in the FM receiver showed that the 97.3MHz station is active compared to the remaining stations.
