Intelectuales, ñapangas y vergonzantes en las políticas estéticas de la nación colombiana
Authors: Rodríguez Calle James
Published: August 2023

La idea de la nación colombiana relacionada con la literatura del siglo XIX, especialmente con la novela, ha estado ligada de forma sostenida con la presencia metafórica de María, la problemática “ficción fundacional” de la “nación colombiana” (Sommer, 2004). María fue escrita por Jorge Isaacs y publicada inicialmente en 1867. Ante un monumento tan presente en la memoria colectiva del país, valía la pena preguntarse por todo aquello que quedó en la penumbra y que pudiera buscarse al pasar el “cepillo a contrapelo por la historia”, como recomendaba Benjamin (como se citó en Sánchez y Piedras, 2011, p. 119).

Echocardiogrhphic assessment of the effect of type (2) Diabetes mellitus on cardiac performance
Authors: Alwan Fadia J. , Saleh Anmar Z. , AL-Najjar Hassan Y.
Published: August 2023

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) causes damaging effects on the cardiac function; these effects can be observed on the diastolic performance of the heart reflected on the change in transmitral blood velocity, the cardiac wall and septum thickness.Objectives: The present study was to assess the diastolic and systolic cardiac muscle performance for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with control individuals and to evaluate the index of myocardial performance.Patients and Methods: The study involved 97 patients (35 male and 62 female of average age of 56.2 ±10.755) of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), they were investigated for their left ventricle performance and compared with 51 normal individuals “the control group” (20 male and 31 female of average age of 41.4 ± 13.196). Measurements of isovolumetric contraction time IVCT, ejection time ET, ejection fraction EF%, isovolumetric relaxation time IVRT, the early and late peak velocities E and A of transmitral flow, left ventricle diameter in diastole and systole LVIDs, LVIDs, posterior wall thickness PWTd, and Interventricular septum thickness in diastole IVSTd were measured, and index of myocardial performance IMP was calculated.Results: Results reveal differences in these parameters for patients group relative to controls, in IVRT, ET, E, A, E/A, EF%, IMP, LVIDs, PWTd and IVSTd all are strongly significant with p value <0.001and for FS% p value = 0.0029 except for IVCT the change was 9.342% with p value 0.188 and the change in LVIDd -3.586%, p value 0.052 were not significant.Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus can cause a deleterious effect on the myocardium. The effect causes impairment in the cardiac diastolic performance and muscle contractility caused by the damage inflicted by hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Also results show that IMP is increased in type 2 DM patients. This increase may be an early sign of diabetic cardiomyopathy in diabetic patients.

Conclusions: Recurrence of tuberculosis was more common in  male, married, diabetic, prisoners, and history of alcohol patients and patients presenting at least one of the risk factor can benefit from the implementation of a post-treatment surveillance system for early detection of recurrence.
The Role of the School Principal in the Context of Possible Transformation of the Educational Curriculum
Authors: Mašát Milan
Published: August 2023

In the paper, we present the current Czech educational legal norms that set certain boundaries in the operation of Czech primary and secondary schools. In the first part of the article, we present the role of the current school principal in relation to his/her competencies in the context of basic Czech educational norms and present a competence model of school principals, the fulfilment of which by school principals can lead to stabilization and a greater degree of effective education in the context of the educational challenges of the 21st century. In the second part of the paper, we propose the possibilities of optimization of legal norms in education and its possible effective integration into the real educational process. In summary, we can conclude that it should be a matter of greater transparency in the training of teaching staff and school principals, the introduction of an optional direct teaching obligation for school principals, the introduction of mechanisms that would lead to a greater degree of familiarity of teachers and principals with the current legal educational norms and their changes, or the development of a unified and comprehensive concept of teaching within one school. We are aware that the proposed solutions have their limits. The most significant is the increase in the administrative burden on school principals: however, we believe that without the introduction of transparent and verifiable mechanisms to check the fulfilment of certain obligations, it will not be possible to check the obligations in question.
Ochrona praw dziecka w publicznym prawie międzynarodowym
Authors: Przyborowska-Klimczak Anna
Published: August 2023

Rozwój międzynarodowej ochrony praw dziecka nastąpił po II wojnie światowej dzięki dokumentom przyjmowanym na forum Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych oraz innych organizacji międzynarodowych o charakterze powszechnym i regionalnym. Najważniejszym dokumentem międzynarodowym, o najszerszym zakresie obowiązywania, jest przyjęta przez Zgromadzenie Ogólne ONZ w 1989 r. Konwencja o prawach dziecka. Na podstawie tej Konwencji został ustanowiony organ kontrolny – Komitet Praw Dziecka. Wiele konwencji dotyczących praw dzieci zostało przygotowanych pod auspicjami Rady Europy. Konwencje i deklaracje odnoszące się do różnych aspektów ochrony praw dzieci opracowano też na forum innych organizacji o charakterze regionalnym: Organizacji Państw Amerykańskich, Organizacji Jedności Afrykańskiej i Unii Afrykańskiej oraz Stowarzyszenia Narodów Azji PołudniowoWschodniej. Postanowienia dotyczące ochrony dzieci podczas konfliktów zbrojnych zostały włączone do aktów międzynarodowego prawa humanitarnego. Międzynarodową ochronę roztoczono też nad dziećmi-uchodźcami i dziećmi należącymi do mniejszości narodowych. Efektywność międzynarodowej ochrony praw dziecka zależy od wypełniania przez państwa-strony ich zobowiązań wynikających z przyjętych w tej dziedzinie konwencji międzynarodowych oraz ustanawiania organów kontrolujących proces implementacji.
Ochrona Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej w Kodeksie karnym
Authors: Wiak Krzysztof
Published: August 2023

Polski ustawodawca wprowadził w Kodeksie karnym z 6 czerwca 1997 r. bezpośrednią, indywidualną ochronę życia, nietykalności cielesnej oraz czci Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej. Na podstawie art. 134 k.k. karalne jest dopuszczenie się zamachu na życie Prezydenta, zagrożone sankcją w postaci kary pozbawienia wolności od 12 do 15 lat, karą 25 lat pozbawienia wolności oraz karą dożywotniego pozbawienia wolności. W art. 135 k.k. ustawodawca kryminalizuje dwa dalsze czyny skierowane przeciwko Prezydentowi: dopuszczenie się czynnej napaści (§ 1) i publiczne znieważenie (§ 2). Przyjęte w Kodeksie karnym z 1997 r. regulacje dotyczące ochrony Prezydenta RP nawiązują do polskich tradycji okresu międzywojennego, kiedy Komisja Kodyfikacyjna przyjęła model ochrony głowy państwa jako podmiotu uosabiającego Majestat Rzeczypospolitej. Chroniony jest Urząd Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej jako najwyższego przedstawiciela Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej i gwaranta ciągłości władzy państwowej (art. 126 ust. 1 Konstytucji RP).
Aksjologiczne podstawy prawnokarnej ochrony Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej w perspektywie stuletnich dziejów. Część I
Authors: Grześkowiak Alicja
Published: August 2023

Sto lat od odzyskania przez Rzeczpospolitą Polską niepodległości to także sto lat polskiego prawa karnego o różnie ukształtowanej treści, ale przed którym zawsze stawiano obowiązek ochrony Państwa. Jednak na przestrzeni tych lat państwo, jego natura i ustrój przeszły różne – w tym także tragiczne – koleje. Przedstawiana analiza ma za zadanie wskazać, jakie były podstawy aksjologiczne prawnokarnej ochrony Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej na przestrzeni stulecia odrodzonej w 1918 r. polskiej państwowości. Zgodnie z założeniem, przyjmuje się, że ich głównym, chociaż nie jedynym wyznacznikiem są konstytucje, zmieniające się na przestrzeni wieku historii Polski. Tak więc wskazane w tytule 100 lat to cztery konstytucje, trzy „małe” konstytucje oraz trzy kodeksy karne chroniące Rzeczpospolitą oraz wiele ustaw zwykłych wprowadzających przepisy o charakterze ustrojowym i wiele regulujących prawnokarną ochronę państwa polskiego. Z tego względu praca podzielona została na trzy części, odnosząc się kolejno do regulacji na płaszczyźnie trzech polskich kodeksów karnych.

Published: August 2023

The study is an insight into legal protection of child through primary legislation which was effective in Slovakia in the first years of the formation of the public and private social system, provided by multiple subjects in multiple stages. The authors pay attention to the former Hungarian and latter Czechoslovak legal norms which continued to be effective during the war Slovak Republic and post-war (post-1945) era when the first general codes on child care and youth care were adopted. In both the Hungarian and Czechoslovak environment, the legislative efforts on child care and youth care (social protection, protection of health, protection through the means of criminal law, etc.) were strengthened in this period.
Prawo dziecka do wychowania przez ojca i matkę
Authors: Orzeszyna Krzysztof
Published: August 2023

Przedmiotem analizy jest prawo dziecka do wychowania przez ojca i matkę. Konwencja o Prawach Dziecka zaleca, aby we wszystkich działaniach dotyczących dzieci sprawą nadrzędną było najlepsze zabezpieczenie interesów dziecka (art. 3 ust. 1). Zatem to dobro dziecka jest naturalnym nakazem troski o osobę niedojrzałą i zależną od innych, z myślą o niej samej, jako wartości samej w sobie cennej. Dziecko dla pełnego i harmonijnego rozwoju swojej osobowości powinno wychowywać się w środowisku rodzinnym, w atmosferze szczęścia, miłości i zrozumienia. Dla rozwoju dziecka bardzo ważnym jest rozróżnienie męskości i kobiecości, które należą do porządku naturalnego, będącego rzeczywistością biologiczną, fizyczną, duchową, psychologiczną i społeczną. Konwencja jest zatem podstawą do sformułowania prawa samego dziecka do „obojga rodziców”, tj. do doświadczania ich troski, do więzi osobistej, uczuciowej z ojcem i matką. Zrównoważony rozwój osobowościowy dziecka zależy w dużej mierze od rodziców i innych osób go wychowujących. We wszystkich etapach rozwoju dziecka oboje rodzice uczestniczą w procesie tworzenia się emocji i uczuć, każdy na swój sposób, mężczyzna (ojciec) jako mężczyzna, kobieta (matka) jako kobieta. Ta bliskość rodziców stanowi mocny fundament dla bezpieczeństwa dziecka w otaczającym go środowisku. Wspierający udział rodziców w procesie tworzenia osoby w jej tożsamości i osobowości, jako mężczyzny lub kobiety jest również zaproszeniem do rozwoju męskości i kobiecości ich dzieci. Zrozumienie świata, życie wewnętrzne i relacje są różnorodne i zależą od harmonii i zgodności stwarzanej przez męskość i kobiecość. Wzrastanie z ojcem i matką daje dzieciom możliwość odkrywania siebie w ramach swojej własnej historii, która jest związana z wielką historią narodów i ludzkości, do której każdy z nas należy.
Long Term Sustainability (LTS) of Outer Space Activities vis a vis Space Awareness
Authors: Polkowska Małgorzata
Published: August 2023

Space Awareness is one of the priorities for all operations in outer space. Space is the place for commercial and military activities. This article is about awareness of space in civilian and military context. Awareness is the topic of one of the guidelines adopted by COPUOS in June this year. For NATO Space Awareness domain (and also SSA) has been always crucial (keeping in mind that NATO does not own any satellite and depend on member states in this area), that is the reason why NATO put so much attention to space in its activities. Policy on Space support in operations made integration of Space into NATO’s core tasks as the priority. Civil and military cooperation seems to be unquestionable. Better leverage science and technology entities, foster communication with industry and relevant partners are the challenges for space awareness policy today. It must be agreed that States and international intergovernmental organizations (civil or military) as it was presented in the newly adopted by UN-LTS, should raise general public awareness of the important societal benefits of space activities and of the consequent importance of enhancing the long-term sustainability of outer space activities.

The subject of this paper is the analysis of sources regarding the ways of acquiring qualified cheap labour force to work for public administration in Ancient Rome. In many papers about organization and functioning of that administration occurs the phenomenon of exploiting the highly qualified slavers. One of more important issues within this problematic area are the ways of public slavers acquiring. The purpose of this paper is to confront existing conceptions, accepted in Romanistic literature, with the results of sources analysis. Final conclusions include a kind of correction of existing conceptions. The result of this paper is also presentation of timeless mechanisms of searching cheap highly qualified labour force for public administration work.
Police Science as a Source of Modern Administrative Sciences
Authors: Smyk Grzegorz
Published: August 2023

It was the science of police (Ger. Polizeiwissenschaft) that first endeavoured to offer a comprehensive understanding of the organisation and operation of public administration. It stemmed from the cameralist doctrine which combined, in addition to administrative management, a broad and not-at-all systemic set of knowledge of economics, finance, statistics, demography, economic policy of the state, and even philosophy. While cameralism mainly put emphasis on economics and approached administrative issues only as a means of efficient fiscal and economic administration of the state, police science, which was under the influence of the law of nature, addressed the development of a system of methods and measures employed to shape the structure of public administration in the modern state.
On the pros and cons of utilizing crude herbal preparations as opposed to purified active ingredients, with emphasis on the COVID pandemic
Authors: Haran Michal , Berrebi Alain
Published: August 2023

It is well recognized that many plants contain substances with pharmacological activities, and there is a large body of traditional knowledge regarding their use in different clinical situations. Yet, most physicians in the Western world are reluctant to use herbal preparations, mostly because there are no large-scale randomized controlled trials to support their application. In this Opinion Paper, which is not intended to be a comprehensive review of herbal or traditional medicine, we challenge this approach and propose that herbal treatments should be added to our armamentarium, even if cautiously. This pertains particularly to situations in which there are no existing well-studied, safe, and effective evidence-based approaches; the known pharmacological properties of the plant or plants being used are relevant to the pathophysiology of the disease and the safety profile of the herbal preparation is well established. Specifically, due to our own experience, we focus on the treatment of patients with COVID with the plant _Artemisia_, based on _in vitro_ studies and small clinical trials, as an example of the approach we propose.
Characterization of ink-based phantoms with deep networks and photoacoustic method
Authors: Chua Hui Ling , Huong Audrey , Ngu Xavier
Published: August 2023

This study aims to explore the feasibility of using an in-house developed photoacoustic (PA) system for predicting blood phantom concentrations using a pretrained Alexnet and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network. In two separate experiments, we investigate the performance of our strategy using a point laser source and a color-tunable Light-Emitting Diode (LED) as the illumination source. A single-point transducer is employed to measure signal change by adding ten different black ink concentrations into a tube. These PA signals are used for training and testing the employed deep networks. We found that the LED system with light wavelength of 450 nm gives the best characterization performance. The classification accuracy of the Alexnet and LSTM models tested on this dataset shows an average value of 94% and 96%, respectively, making this a preferred light wavelength for future operation. Our system may be used for the noninvasive assessment of microcirculatory changes in humans.

Authors: AÇAR Cem , BABALİK Aylin
Published: August 2023

Tüberküloz basilinin inhalasyonu, immün yanıtın uyarılmasıyla etkenin temizlenmesi ya da primer enfeksiyon oluşumu ile sonuçlanır. Primer tüberküloz enfeksiyonu, olguların %95’inde sessiz seyreder ve latent döneme girer. Olguların %5'inde ise primer tüberküloz hastalığına neden olur. Bu evrede mikobakteriler hematojen, lenfojen yol ile çevre dokulara ve akciğer dışı organlara yerleşebilir. Akciğer dışındaki odaklarda reaktivasyon olursa ekstrapulmoner tüberküloz ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ürogenital tüberküloz (ÜG-TB); plevral tüberküloz ve periferal lenfadenopatiden sonra en sık karşılaşılan ekstrapulmoner tüberküloz şeklidir. Böbrekler genellikle basilin akciğerden hematojen yol ile yayılması sonucu enfekte olmaktadır. Akciğer röntgenogramında, ÜG-TB vakalarının yaklaşık yarısında spesifik bulgu izlenmemektedir. Tedavi edilmemiş olgular renal parankim hasarı ve obstrüktif nefropati ile birlikte son dönem böbrek yetmezliğine sebep olabilir. Bu olgumuzda ürogenital tüberküloz tanısı almış hastada bir ilaç yan etkisi olarak gelişen hipersensitivite reaksiyonu ve bunun yönetiminden bahsedilmiştir.

Professores de educação física e a organização e sistematização do processo de ensino
Authors: Moura Ulisses Francisco Mascarenhas
Published: August 2023

Organizar e sistematizar o processo de ensino é uma tarefa de extrema relevância e existem importantes fatores nesse processo que se nós, professores de Educação Física, deixarmos de considerar tenderemos ao fracasso. Fatores como quem são os sujeitos, as etapas de ensino e os contextos em que estão esses sujeitos são de extrema relevância. (DARIDO, 2003). Considerar os documentos oficiais e abordagens de ensino de modo reflexivo e crítico também o são. Sabemos que a Educação Física esteve refém de diversas políticas públicas em diferentes governos e que as aulas na prática acabavam por reproduzir o que estava no discurso político (CASTELLANI FILHO, 1988), porém desde a década de 1980 pra cá houve uma revolução no sistema educacional e também na Educação Física e, pelo menos no discurso, surgiram novas propostas de sistematização e organização das aulas de Educação Física escolar baseadas principalmente em visões críticas e pós-críticas. (DARIDO, 2003). Diante dos fatos citados delimitou-se a seguinte pergunta de pesquisa: como os professores de Educação Física buscam organizar e sistematizar suas aulas dentro do processo de ensino? Para chegar a resposta da pesquisa a mesma teve como objetivo analisar trabalhos que trouxessem metodologias de aulas para verificação de como se dá a organização e sistematização do processo de ensino por parte dos professores de Educação Física. A presente pesquisa utilizou-se da revisão da literatura como metodologia para chegar aos seus objetivos. A revisão de literatura é indispensável para se obter uma ideia fidedigna do atual estado de conhecimentos sobre um tema. A mesma busca nos livros e artigos somente a informação mais relevante.

O uso da tecnologia assistiva nas aulas de educação física escolar
Authors: Moura Ulisses Francisco Mascarenhas
Published: August 2023

Em uma era onde a tecnologia tem avançado cada vez mais, inclusive no campo educacional, se faz pertinente abrir-se para o campo tecnológico e seus benefícios possíveis ao aluno no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Ao se abordar o tema inclusão nesse mesmo ambiente conseguimos contemplar variados grupos através desse conceito. Um desses grupos são os alunos com deficiência (AcD), os quais estão nas turmas regulares de ensino, além do atendimento educacional especializado (AEE). Conseguir incluir esses alunos tem sido um grande desafio de todos os profissionais presentes no contexto escolar e nada melhor do que ter ferramentas adequadas para que essa inclusão possa se dar de uma maneira equalizadora. Neste contexto apresenta-se como ferramenta para a inclusão, autonomia e funcionalidade (dentre outras possibilidades) dos alunos com deficiência a tecnologia assistiva (TA) (SCHIRMER et al., 2007 apud GIROTO et al, 2012). O problema desta pesquisa se relaciona à necessidade de inclusão de AcD nas aulas regulares de educação física escolar, tendo como questionamento: a tecnologia assistiva é uma ferramenta utilizada pelos professores de educação física para incluir alunos com deficiência em suas aulas? Através do exposto objetivou-se investigar as possíveis barreiras, dificuldades, possibilidades e benefícios do uso da TA na inclusão de AcD’s nas aulas regulares de educação física escolar. A pesquisa justifica-se pela necessidade de averiguar a utilização da TA nas aulas regulares de educação física escolar, no intuito de contribuir com a inclusão dos AcD nas aulas e a partir daí contribuir também com o campo de pesquisa para a utilização da TA nas aulas de educação física escolar. A presente pesquisa utilizou-se da revisão da literatura em livros e artigos publicados entre os anos de 2006 e 2015 no Brasil, em idioma português como metodologia para chegar aos seus objetivos. A revisão da literatura é indispensável para se obter uma ideia fidedigna do atual estado de conhecimentos sobre um tema. Ela busca nos livros e artigos somente a informação mais relevante (BENTO, 2012). Utilizou-se como critério de exclusão artigos de outras nacionalidades, além de pesquisas com abordagem quantitativa.
Santos do povo: um constructo da fé e da história
Authors: Pereira Antonio Renaldo Gomes , Oliveira Rodrigo Andrade de , Paulino Antonio George Lopes
Published: August 2023

Os Santos do Povo são personagens sagrados venerados pelas pessoas que os consideram protetores e intercessores em suas vidas. Os santos são parte importante da religiosidade presente em diversas culturas. Neste texto, detemo-nos no culto desenvolvido no seio do catolicismo, sobretudo, o que costumeiramente denominamos catolicismo popular. Interessa-nos, especificamente, conhecer um aspecto da religiosidade popular que se constitui na construção da santidade e das manifestações devocionais num fluxo que movimenta a fé na historicidade, independentemente da chancela normativa da Igreja Católica. A partir do contato com dados exploratórios e das nossas vivências no contexto cearense, notamos que esse fenômeno da canonização popular é bem expressivo nessa vasta parte do território nordestino, assim como em toda a região. E como assume contornos míticos diversos, caracteriza-se de forma complexa, com denominações em que respinga essa diversidade: almas milagrosas, santos de cemitério, santos do povo ou simplesmente santos. Observando que determinados traços míticos de construção da santidade são recorrentes em alguns casos registrados no Ceará, propusemos o projeto de pesquisa Santos do Povo na religiosidade cearense: mapeamento e descrição de territorialidades devocionais, em execução pelo Laboratório de Antropologia e Imagem - LAI/UFC. Bastide (1971), em seu ensaio Os dois catolicismos, apresenta uma das primeiras formas de manifestação popular do catolicismo em resistência ao cânone oficial da Igreja Católica, que emerge quando da segregação sociorracial no âmbito religioso imposta pelos brancos aos pretos, sendo estes catequizados menos para serem integrados socialmente do que para terem suas expressões culturais e de poder reprimidas.

La escuela como botín de guerra
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Zapata Jiménez Myriam A.
Published: August 2023

La persistencia de actores armados en los territorios son el reflejo de la corrupción política, que ha llevado a Colombia a un estado de guerra permanente, y en el que la población rural ha sido la más afectada. Las masacres selectivas, el despojo territorial y el desplazamiento forzado, son los principales mecanismos de acción de los actores armados, entre los que se encuentran narcotraficantes, paramilitares, excombatientes y fuerza pública. Las instituciones educativas rurales se han convertido en un botín de guerra, al quitarle la posibilidad de estudiar a los niños, niñas y adolescentes, y en muchos casos, son reclutados a la fuerza en estos grupos armados. Los impactos psicosociales en la población desplazada y las vulneraciones que impiden el goce efectivo de derechos en niños, niñas y adolescentes representa una violación a la dignidad de la persona humana.
El paramilitarismo en Colombia
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Luna Zarama Karol Viviana
Published: August 2023

El texto se divide en dos partes. En la introducción se analizan las características de la violencia en Colombia durante el siglo XX, poniendo énfasis en el papel que ha cumplido el Estado colombiano, así como la respuesta de los caciques, quienes controlaron zonas del Estado débil y fracturado. Para llevar a cabo este cometido, se trabaja con una red conceptual integrada por los conceptos de Estado, élites, poder, violencia y guerra. En el primer apartado, se analiza la conformación de los grupos paramilitares a través de una serie de decretos, los cuales legalizaron la creación de grupos de civiles armados, y con ello legitimaron y fortalecieron a los caciques en ciertas regiones del país. Todo esto permite reflexionar sobre cómo la mentalidad heredada por el largo periodo de la violencia ha impactado en las formas actuales de resolución de conflictos en la mayoría de los colombianos.

Authors: Adekunle Simon Ayo , Dimowo Oiza Lauren
Published: August 2023

The study comparatively analysed university students’ preference for smartphone brands based on demographic profiles such as gender, age, and usage experience. The study also established whether a significant difference exists in students’ preference for three selected brands of smartphones. The study employed a cross-sectional research design. The study population comprised undergraduate students in a Federal government-owned university in Edo State, Nigeria. The administration and retrieval of the questionnaire used for the study were done electronically via Google Form which was voluntarily filled and submitted by the students. A total of three hundred and ninety (390) responses were received after two weeks of the exercise. Data collected were descriptively analysed using frequency counts and percentages while inferential statistics such as t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were conducted to establish the influence of the different demographic profiles on the students’ preference for smartphone brands. The study found that students’ gender, age and usage experience did not significantly influence their preference for a smartphone. It was also found that Apple and Samsung brands were preferred to Tecno by most of the students. The study concluded that demographic profiles such as gender, age and user experience should not serve as the basis for smartphone manufacturers to differentiate their products but they should sustain and possibly improve their products’ durability, camera quality, long-lasting battery and impressive aesthetic appearance among others.

Since the establishment of super-regional and mega malls in Malaysia, little is known about green consumers’ purchase intention and behaviour in the malls’ general merchandise stores (GMS). This study first examines the profile of green consumers’ purchase intention and behavior on green products in the GMS. Second, the green consumers’ social classes were segmented to explore social class differences in the purchase intention and behaviour in the stores. The purposive sampling was used to collect the data from the respondents in the southern region of Malaysia. Using the SmartPLS, the data were analysed using the multi-group analysis (MGA) and the measurement invariance of composites (MICOM). The results showed the psychographic variables positively influenced ecologically conscious consumer behaviour (ECCB) on the purchase intention and behaviour. In addition, the middle-class consumers’ shopping lifestyle influences positively on the ECCB and they are more likely to purchase green products than the upper middle-class group. The outcome of the green consumer profile provides an insight into the patterns of purchasing of the consumers in the GMS and the indication of consumer’s consideration of energy conservations from home.

Published: August 2023

Gamification has become increasingly popular among businesses, institutions and consumers, especially since the emergence of Covid-19 pandemic. It has been widely used to promote positive changes in user behaviour, improve companies’ digital presence and provide immersive and engaging brand experiences. Though bibliometric studies on gamification have been conducted previously, information on citations and networking analysis emphasises marketing and consumer behaviour remains scarce. Thus, the purpose of this bibliometric study is to describe how gamification is structured and how it has evolved over time. To achieve this, we utilise citation analysis and co-word analysis to visually uncover the intellectual, conceptual and social network structures in gamification research. A total of 558 articles published between 2011 and 2021 were extracted from the Dimension.ai database through the PRISMA review process. The results reveal positive growth in gamification research between 2011 and 2021. The United States was the most productive and most cited country and the most productive and influential institution was Tampere University in Finland, which houses Juho Hamari, the most influential and most cited author. Additionally, the results reveal recent trends in gamification research including those related to value, brand and attitude as well as emerging trends including artificial intelligence. The results also reveal collaborations through co-authorship among authors, institutions and countries. Together, they depict the intellectual landscape of gamification as related to marketing and consumer behaviour. This is beneficial for both inexperienced and experienced scholars, practitioners, funding agencies and policymakers.

Authors: Zoel Ng  , Thomas Philus George
Published: August 2023

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations (UN) in 2015. They are a worldwide call to end poverty, protect the planet, and promote peace and prosperity for everyone by 2030. The 17 SDGs are interconnected and seek to strengthen the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Malaysia is one of the countries committed to these global goals. In every situation, achieving the SDGs requires collaboration and resources from all parts of society, and youths are the part of the population that is most important in implementing the SDGs. To get young people involved in the planning and building of the country's sustainable development, it is important for different groups to work together. This article examines how partnerships can effectively help an organisation reach its goals and what the most important principles are when forming a partnership.  In this paper, the Malaysian Youth SDG Summit will be used as a case study.  The summit started with the support of 30 youth-based organisations and was backed up by the Malaysian Civil Society Organisation—SDG Alliance and the All-Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia—SDG. The Malaysian Youth SDG Summit, which began as a one-day event, has evolved into a year-long effort to develop the capacity of young people to become SDG competent through the Youth SDG Agent initiative. The study provides information on how to leverage partnerships to expose youth to sustainable developments, drawing on the case from the youth SDG Summit and youth SDG agents. The strength of the partnership has made a big difference in the brand's credibility, its exposure in the media, its network, its support for hardware, and its human resources.
Visually Impaired Usability Requirements for Accessible Mobile Applications: A Checklist for Mobile E-book Applications
Authors: Ba Matraf Munya Saleh , Hashim Nor Laily , Hussain Azham
Published: August 2023

The definition of an e-book is a book in an electronic format, which can be beneficial to all readers, mainly those struggling with print books because of their vision impairments. Nevertheless, the visually impaired cannot access regular e-books because they do not meet their unique needs, and they require a more accessible e-book to reach the same expected advantages as those typically seen. Due to the lack of a clear list of these needs, developers are not aware of the specific requirements of the visually impaired for e-book applications. This paper aimed to analyse the visually impaired usability requirements for usable and accessible e-book applications. Three main activities were conducted: reviewing the literature, conducting an online survey of the visually impaired, and comparing the two results obtained earlier to acquire verified usability requirements. This study reviewed current works on the usability and accessibility of e-books from 2010 to 2022. Besides, this study also conducted reviews on common accessibility needs and standards for mobile applications. A total of 24 usability requirements were identified from the literature and compared with ten results from seven visually impaired respondents using an online survey. With these verified usability requirements, designers and practitioners can use them as a checklist to ensure all needs are considered when designing mobile e-books for the visually impaired.

Purpose - Collaborative learning has been increasingly recognized as an effective approach to promote students’ success in higher education. To better understand the factors that contribute to successful collaborative learning, this study applied the Biggs’ presage-processproduct (3P) general model of learning to investigate the role of teaching quality, student-faculty interaction, and relatedness as presage factors, collaborative learning as process factor, and reflective and integrative learning and higher-order thinking as product factors. Methodology - A cross-sectional approach was applied in this study, which included 1,892 Malaysian undergraduates. The study used the Quality of University Learning Experience (QULEX) survey to measure various constructs. First, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to establish the psychometric properties of the instruments. Thereafter, structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to evaluate the latent variables relationships. Findings - Based on the findings, collaborative learning fully mediated the prediction of student-faculty interaction, teaching quality, and relatedness on reflective and integrative learning and higher-order thinking. Significance - These findings suggest that collaborative learning with social components and effective teaching maximize students’ learning activities, and they should be fostered in academic institutions to improve students’ academic success. Implications for improving teaching and learning are also discussed in this paper.

Purpose – Researchers discovered that when students were given the opportunity to change their answers, a majority changed their responses from incorrect to correct, and this change often increased the overall test results. What prompts students to modify their answers? This study aims to examine the modification of scientific reasoning test, with additional exploration on confidence accuracy and its relation to item difficulty. Methodology –A set of pre-test and post-test experiments which included 20 items of scientific reasoning test with confidence judgement on each item were used. The items of the instruments were assessed for their validity by analysing their psychometric properties using the three-parameter (3PL) Item Response Theory, which was carried out in R studio. The set of items were randomly administered to 205 Indonesian undergraduate students with a background in science education related major. The accuracy of confidence was determined by categorising correct or incorrect answers to scientific reasoning questions based on their level of confidence. Findings –The results revealed that responses were modified more frequently from incorrect to correct than from correct to incorrect, resulting in a significant gain in overall scientific reasoning score although these modifications were not shown to be connected to the item’s difficulty level. Even though confidence level also increased significantly, it was observed that Indonesian students repeatedly responded with overconfidence even after sitting for the same test after three weeks, which could indicate a lack of metacognitive ability. The findings of this study serve to spur educators to begin actively engaging in metacognitive training in their teaching and learning activities as a result of overconfidence that frequently occurs among Indonesian students in examinations. Significance –This study provides further substantiation in the field of scientific reasoning and cognitive science; that a trend of confidence accuracy change in scientific reasoning test has been observed. It also contributes to uncovering the true ability of Indonesian students when performing such reasoning tests through their repeated attempts.
SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH CONSUMPTION AND EXPENDITURE ON VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS AMONG YOUTH IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Tey Shu Yi , Cheah Yong Kang
Published: August 2023

Consumption of vitamins can lower the risks of various noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Nevertheless, only a small proportionof adults in Malaysia consume vitamin supplements, and this may contribute to the increase in the prevalence of NCDs across the country. Despite the high prevalence of NCDs and low consumption of vitamin supplements, there is insufficient research that assess individuals’ use and expenditure on vitamin supplements. The objective of the present study is to examine the effects of sociodemographic factors on vitamin supplement spending among youth in Malaysia. The primary survey data were collected using convenient sampling (n = 482). In addition to one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), a lognormal hurdle model was used to explore factors affecting consumption and amount decisions of vitamin supplements. Results of the present study showed that higher-income and less-educated individuals spent more on vitamin supplements compared to lower-income and welleducated individuals. Expenditure on vitamin supplements was higher among Chinese than Malays. Being male and married increased the likelihood of consuming vitamin supplements. In conclusion, sociodemographic factors play an important role in determining consumption and expenditure on vitamin supplements. With the present study’s findings, policymakers could better understand which cohorts of the Malaysian population to be focused on. Therefore, a more effective policy directed towards promoting the use of vitamin supplements can be formulated.
