Green Hotels – business potential and market advantage
Authors: Sikó Botond , Vetró Richárd
Published: March 2022

The trend for green hotels is becoming more widespread in the global hotel. There is an increasing emphasis on environmental protection and social responsibility globally, with tourism and hotels taking an share of this. Some of them put sustainability at the heart of their business policies, while in others the ‘green’ pursuit appears as a complementary activity. More and more hotel companies are also realizing this as a business potential. We analyze the sustainability efforts of individual global hotel chains and smaller local hotel companies. Do these contribute and, if so, how do they increase guest loyalty? Is it important for a large hotel chain to exercise and promote responsibility? What are the opportunities for smaller hotels in environmental protection and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)? What are the most common manifestations of these, what are their prospects and their untapped potential? Our sources include responsible publications and marketing materials of individual companies, critically analyzing them and searching for existing and further opportunities. Primary sources include personal experiences and professional examples. In our view, environmentally conscious behavior has tremendous marketing value for all companies, including hotels. A positive attitude not only protects the Earth and its inhabitants, but also acts as an attraction for guests and a market advantage. In addition, an environmentally conscious attitude will be essential for the Planet, so the social impact of the aspirations is unquestionable. That is why we consider it important to have the most comprehensive, extensive and up-to-date research of the topic.
Financial instruments in the mirror of energy efficiency among Zala County SMEs
Authors: Szabó Károly
Published: March 2022

In the recent years sustainability and energy efficiency became more and more important in the life of the companies. As the environmentally friendly thinking spreads worldwide, and more conscious customers appear on the market, companies cannot leave out these factors (EE and sustainability) from their everyday operation. As this trend is likely to continue in the near future, in the current analysis we will try to figure out how manageable are these changes at the SMEs of Zala County. We will study the feasibility of the EE thinking in companies’ life from financial side, as it is the usual barrier to introduce a new strategic approach. Regarding this, within the analysis we want to get the answer for the question, how many financial instruments are available for this purpose and how effective are these programs in the county. Within the main topic of “Sustainability in SMEs”, we will also identify the potential need of new microfinance products which can be used for the implementation of the EE approach. To achieve these research results, we use qualitative methods. Through semi-structured qualitative interviews with financial experts, we can get an overall picture about the financial situation of the local SME sector and the needs of the EE friendly new products.
Conscious consumption in clothing : How to increase the awareness of conscious consumption
Authors: Yeboah Elizabeth , Khongorzul Bolormaa
Published: March 2022

This research paper considers ethical behavior which is depicted as conscious consumption in the clothing industry. Conscious consumption is the social movement based on the increased awareness of how conscious purchasing and consumption effect society at large. It is concerned with the impact of purchasing decisions by consumers on the environment and the economy. This paper discusses the level of awareness of conscious consumption amongst people, the amount of sustainability in clothing companies, does not consider sustainability in other industries (food, road, etc.). There is previous study entitled “Consumers’ Attitudes towards Sustainability and Sustainable Labels in the Fashion Industry” by Lina Forsman and Denise Madsen in 2017, which has been done by qualitative method between Generation Y . However, this research paper has done quantitative survey between mostly generation Z. We noticed less consciousness on the part of consumers in the garment industry in a quantitative method by the survey of 44 people undertaken and as forecasted candidates revealed they do not take into consideration the sustainability of a company before purchasing the clothes. The reason behind this behavior is the deficiency of information about the concept. This text offers empirical research on how consumers can assist in achieving sustainability through their conscious purchasing. It adds on how individual consumers are more interested in the prices than the sustainability of a good. This paper outlines some practical suggestions that consumers should be more conscious of the usage of certain garments and the impact of their purchasing decisions on the environment and the economy. This paper is purposed to change the mindset of people into being more conscious about what they are consuming and being more environmentally friendly.
Genetic variability of maguey pulquero (Agave spp.) in the Otomi-Huitzizilapan region, State of Mexico
Authors:   Unidad de Biotecnología, Centro de Investigación Científica de Yucatán, A.C., Calle 43 No. 130 x 32 y 34, Chuburná de Hidalgo, C.P. 97205, Mérida, Yucatán, México., Ballesteros-Rodríguez Elia , Escalante-Erosa Fabiola , Sánchez- Teyer Lorenzo Felipe
Published: March 2022

Pulquero maguey has been related to the cultural inheritance of Otomi-communities since pre-Hispanic times. In the last 30 years, a gradual disappearance of pulquero maguey has been observed in the Otomi-Huitzizilapan region, located in the State of Mexico, Mexico, thus, it is of great interest to analyze the genetic variability of this kind of maguey for future identification, monitoring and conservation purposes. This work had as objective to determine the genetic variability of the pulquero maguey individuals of the Otomi-Huitzizilapan region using AFLP technique and the qualitative carbohydrate characterization present in the leaves juice employing high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC). Of the selective amplification with six primer combinations, a total of 890 AFLP markers was obtained with 82.3% polymorphic. Identified carbohydrates such as fructose, glucose, sacarose, 1-kestose and nystose coincide with the ones reported in other Agave species. The results obtained make it possible to initially quantify the variation existing in the plants evaluated. The carbohydrate profile signals that the pulquero maguey could be used in alternative industrial purposes.

Published: March 2022

Blended learning is a solution to overcome the limitation of learning space, time, and source learning. This study describes the application of blended learning at Senior High School 2 Taliwang during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research method used is a descriptive research method with a qualitative approach. The subjects in this study were students of class X MIPA at Senior High School 2 Taliwang totaling 62 people consisting of 2 classes. Data collection used questionnaires, interviews, and document studies. The results showed that the application of blended learning during the Covid-19 pandemic is divided between face-to-face and online learning, consisting of three stages, namely planning, learning process, and evaluation. The planning stage of the teacher makes a learning schedule, divides teaching time between teachers, prepares learning devices, materials, learning activities, learning media, and evaluation. At the stage of the learning process, the teacher conducts learning interactions, explains the material, assigns assignments and exercises either directly through face to face or online through Google Forms and electronic applications such as WhatsApp.The evaluation stage is assessed through cognitive assessment (knowledge) through assignments or portfolios and affective assessment by assessing those who actively participate in learning and respond.
Jak souvisí stres, nedůvěra a nedodržování protiepidemických opatření? – Konstruktivistický pohled na negativní jevy pandemické doby
Authors:   Psychologický ústav AV ČR, Czech Republic, Filip Miroslav
Published: March 2022

Non-adherence to public health measures determines how society copes with the new coronavirus pandemic. In this study, we apply the personal construct theory to answer why some people comply with anti-epidemic measures. The theory assumes that stressful events in the pandemic situation invalidate an individual’s wor­ldview (individual’s con­struing). If the individual attempts to maintain this construing instead of its reconstruction, s/he may apply the hostility strategy. For example, s/he dismisses information or opinions that are incompatible with his/her original construing. This leads to an elaboration of distrust and critical attitudes towards institutions and to non-compliance with measures they order. We investigate this model by an interview analysis with 20 respondents. The analysis yielded five categories showing how respondents construe the pandemic situation: responsibility, criticism, distance from the subject, productive dialogue, and unproductive dialogue. Respondents from the category “criticism” were facing substantial stressful/inva­lidating changes. They maintained their critical attitude towards anti-epidemic measures through a hostile view of those with differing opinions and a strong distrust in institutions and media. The other respondents mostly complied with the measures. In their construing of the pandemic situation, they took different perspectives into the account, did not experience hostility, and expressed some degree of understanding to people with different opinions. Thus, hostility could be a fundamental psychological principle to preserve a meaningful worldview in times of the pandemic. Hostility, however, leads to distrust, opinion polarization, and non-compliance with anti-epidemic measures.
Vznik forenzní psychologie v českých zemích
Authors:   Vysoká škola finanční a správní, Czech Republic, Polišenská Veronika
Published: March 2022

The beginnings of a scientific discipline are usually connected with the publication of a certain manuscript or the founding of a research institute. In the Czech Lands, the founding of psychology is traced to the academic year 1921/1922, when František Krejčí (1858–1934) founded the Psychological Institute at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University, and the beginnings of criminology are connected to the founding of Criminological Research Institute in the 1960s. However, a question remains, which moment in history defines the founding of forensic psychology in the Czech Lands. In order to answer this question, I have described the multidisciplinary beginnings of forensic psychology, the state of scientific fields up till 1939, and created a publication timeline from 1918 to 1939. Based upon the analysis of the publication timeline and using the six basic characteristics of scientific discipline, it can be stated that the publication of Josef Šejnoha Criminal Psychology from 1930 is the defining moment of founding forensic psychology in the Czech Republic.

Published: March 2022

The characteristics of the source zone of the debris flow watershed is one of the most significant factors governing debris flows initiation, at the same time it also plays a crucial role for disaster risk evaluation. With the aim of obtaining the basic characteristics of the source zone and computing the kinematic parameters, field investigations were conducted comprehensively, combining with the results of remote sensing interpretation, the origin and distribution regulations can be identified, and total amount of the loose solid materials can be determined, the corresponding value is 4.91×106 m3. Using the collected data of this watershed, and with the help of previous theoretical models, the kinematic parameters under different rainfall frequencies are calculated, which including debris flow discharge, total volume of one-time debris flow and the total volume of solid materials. Such parameters are helpful and essential for debris flow disasters evaluation, prevention and designing mitigation measures.
Percepción del profesorado y directivos escolares acerca del acompañamiento pedagógico en aula y sus implicancias en el desarrollo profesional docente
Authors: Aravena Kenigs Omar Andrés , Montanero Fernández Manuel , Mellado Hernández María Elena
Published: March 2022

El acompañamiento al profesorado en aula es una estrategia de desarrollo profesional impulsada fuertemente por el Ministerio de Educación de Chile en los últimos años y representa la principal modalidad de asesoramiento pedagógico empleadas en los centros educativos. El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar la percepción del profesorado y directivos escolares respecto al acompañamiento pedagógico en aula y su incidencia en el mejoramiento del desarrollo profesional docente. Participaron del estudio 160 profesores y 120 directivos de 60 escuelas y liceos de la comuna de Temuco, región de La Araucanía, Chile. La investigación posee un alcance descriptivo y utilizó una metodología mixta. Las técnicas de recolección de información fueron un cuestionario de valoración del acompañamiento pedagógico, compuesto por tres dimensiones: (1) Competencias profesionales, (2) Aprendizaje colaborativo y (3) Prácticas educativas. Complementariamente, se desarrollaron grupos de discusión con una muestra aleatoria de participantes. Los resultados muestran diferencias significativas en la valoración que directivos y docentes atribuyen al acompañamiento pedagógico. Los directivos, por su parte, poseen una alta valoración de la estrategia, reconociéndola como un aporte para el desarrollo de capacidades y colaboración docente. En tanto, el profesorado percibe el acompañamiento como un mecanismo de supervisión y control que aporta escasamente a la reflexión y mejora de sus prácticas. Se concluye la necesidad de transitar hacia enfoques más colaborativos y democráticos de acompañamiento en aula, donde equipos directivos y profesorado construyan conjuntamente modelos situados de desarrollo profesional, con énfasis en mejorar las oportunidades de aprendizaje de los estudiantes.
Del abandono a la permanencia escolar en Secundaria
Authors: Sañudo Guerra Lya
Published: March 2022

El objetivo del estudio es contribuir a la sistematización y al análisis de información relacionada con las escuelas secundarias con abandono escolar con el propósito de establecer y mejorar, con apoyo de un modelo de Inteligencia Artificial (IA), las estrategias escolares y comunitarias que fortalezcan la permanencia y el logro del aprendizaje del estudiantado. Se contextualiza y se construye una fundamentación teórica del abandono escolar para comprender este fenómeno y establecer la prefiguración teórica de las relaciones isomórficas entre sistemas complejos. Las causas del abandono escolar son complejas, multirreferenciales y multifactoriales, y cada una se comporta de acuerdo con su lógica y naturaleza. Por lo que la investigación se enmarca en la complejidad y el constructivismo social (Morin), y se utiliza la perspectiva de la Teoría General de Sistemas (Bertalanffy). Dentro de esta perspectiva, el método es investigación documental, el análisis de contenido como instrumento para la construcción teórica, complementado con análisis estadístico para la constitución del contexto. De los resultados del análisis, se diseñaron modelos que muestran las interrelaciones de los componentes de la escuela como sistema complejo, cerrado para conservar su orden interno y puede ser un sistema abierto cuando se retroalimenta por la información del entorno. Permite el entendimiento isomórfico entre objetos sociales y de inteligencia artificial prefigurando conceptualmente la posibilidad de modelos predictivos y de intervención. La discusión se centra en la victimización de los estudiantes, la viabilidad de la IA y de la transformación de la escuela secundaria, y el abandono como exclusión.
Oportunidades de aprendizaje en programas de formación inicial docente para el aseguramiento de la calidad educativa
Authors: Vega Godoy Andrea Jacqueline
Published: March 2022

El presente artículo surge a partir de una tesis doctoral[1] y su objetivo es caracterizar las oportunidades de aprendizaje (OPA), que ofrece una muestra de carreras de formación inicial en Educación General Básica en función de cuatro dimensiones: 1) áreas de conocimiento, 2) tipos de contenidos, 3) disciplinas y 4) procesos cognitivos, con el propósito de analizar cuáles son los criterios, competencias y saberes que entregan estos programas en relación a la calidad educativa para las y los estudiantes de carreras pedagógicas. La investigación se enmarcó en un paradigma cuantitativo, con un diseño de tipo descriptivo-correlacional que consideró una muestra de 10 programas. Los resultados evidencian una formación inicial docente que privilegia el conocimiento conceptual y relega el conocimiento práctico y profesional. Frente a esta situación, se sugiere que las instituciones formadoras se hagan cargo de identificar las deficiencias y debilidades en sus programas de formación, en términos de oportunidades de aprendizajes, para desarrollar profesionales con los tipos de conocimientos conceptual, práctico y profesional para garantizar una formación de calidad.

[1] Este artículo se enmarca en el contexto de la tesis doctoral titulada: “La relación de las oportunidades de aprendizaje del conocimiento docente en las carreras de pedagogía básica sobre la autopercepción en tareas docentes de profesores en formación” (xxx, 2018).

Authors: Ramón Verdú Alfredo José , Villalba Gómez José Víctor , Boj Pérez Laura
Published: March 2022

El presente artículo muestra un estudio de opinión realizado sobre la autopercepción creativa en alumnos de Grado en Educación Primaria. El objetivo principal fue el de realizar un informe diagnóstico sobre la percepción que tienen sobre la creatividad y sobre su propia formación creativa, para conocer las ideas preconcebidas y los niveles de autoeficacia creativa que se otorgan a sí mismos. La muestra fue de 671 estudiantes de cinco años académicos distintos, encuestados al inicio de la primera asignatura artística cursada. La metodología llevada a cabo se basó en el paradigma cuantitativo mediante un test objetivo de rendimiento típico individual tipo Likert, compuesto por cinco dimensiones: contexto, percepción personal, percepción de la creatividad, conocimiento creativo y formación creativa. Los datos se analizaron estadísticamente mostrando resultados con la opinión mayoritaria de que en etapas anteriores no han sido formados para ser personas creativas. Reflejan un aumento progresivo de la negatividad sobre su consideración como personas creativas, así como una gran inseguridad para abordar la resolución de problemas creativamente. Estos datos evidencian la necesidad de que las metodologías de enseñanza integren enfoques claros para el desarrollo de la creatividad en alumnos de todas las etapas, mientras son conscientes del proceso que llevan a cabo.

Authors: TURAN Murat , TATAR Ali Murat
Published: March 2022

The present study aimed to determine the current state of water buffalo breeders in Silvan, Bağlar, Yenişehir, and Sur counties of Diyarbakır province in Turkey, and to reveal the aspects of shelter, grazing, calf breeding, brood use, meat and milk production practices, care and health protection, expectations from breeding practices and current problems. The results of the face-to-face surveys were used carried out with a total of 147 business owners engaged in water buffalo breeding in four counties. In the research, the average number of water buffaloes per farm was determined to be 11.03. The breeders have reported that they continue to raise water buffaloes for reasons such as making a living, high quality of water buffalo milk, and benefiting from the available subsidies. The average lactation period of water buffaloes was 7.1 months, the average daily milk obtained per animal was determined to be 3.63 liters. The milk obtained is mostly evaluated as yogurt, cheese, and butter. As a result, it was determined that almost all of the breeders are satisfied with water buffalo breeding, they see breeding as a family profession, and they are aware of the quality and importance of water buffalo products.
GESTÃO DEMOCRÁTICA NA ESCOLA: UMA PERCEPÇÃO ATRAVÉS DOS INSTRUMENTOS DE COMUNICAÇÃO E PARTICIPAÇÃO NA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA PRATICADA NO CARIRI ORIENTAL E OCIDENTAL PARAIBANO
Authors: ALMEIDA ARAÚJO ANCELMO ANTONIO DE
Published: March 2022

A gestão escolar democrática nas escolas é um tema bastante relevante. Mesmo antes da publicação da Lei das Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Brasileira (Lei Federal nº 9.394/96), havia um entendimento de que a sociedade precisaria participar no desenvolvimento da educação brasileira, garantido assim o direito humanitário e igualitário instituído pela Constituição Federal Brasileira de 1988 (Art. 205). Contudo, a implantação deste modelo de gestão não é fácil! Do ponto de vista prático, é necessário que exista na escola uma equipe técnica multidisciplinar, extremamente integrada e consciente do seu papel, que motive os diferentes atores estratégicos, e saiba desenvolver uma comunicação clara, inclusiva e que auxilie no pertencimento. Outro fator relevante é que os mecanismos desta integração devem respeitar a territorialidade, podendo alguns métodos obterem sucesso em uma determinada região e não obterem êxito em uma outra. Para entender a aplicabilidade da gestão democrática no Cariri Paraibano (Oriental e Ocidental), foram pré-estabelecidas escolas de 06 (seis) municípios a serem investigadas. Estes, tiveram como critério de seleção sua localização dentro da microrregião, objetivando cobrir seu centro e extremos. Em cada um deles, 01 (uma) escola foi selecionada para aplicação de questionários estruturados. Os entrevistados foram pré-categorizados, tendo questionamentos específicos para cada uma delas. Para as categorias de quantitativo elevado (estudantes), a amostra foi estabelecida utilizando um percentual mínimo de 45% sobre o universo existente. Para manter a aleatoriedade, se aplicou o sorteio de indivíduos a serem entrevistados. Os resultados demonstraram que a comunidade escolar pouco conhece sobre legislação na área da gestão democrática da educação e a ausência deste conhecimento, por parte dos atores estratégicos, dificulta o desenvolvimento dos trabalhos coletivos nas escolas, indo ao desencontro do que propunha Alexander Neill, com sua pedagogia liberária (GAUTHIER e TARDIF, 2010). Somado a isto, as escolas pesquisadas tiveram seus documentos técnicos de planejamento (Plano Político Pedagógico) construídos de forma não participativa, o que dificulta ainda mais sua aplicabilidade. Com esse resultado, percebe-se que o funcionamento dessas escolas tornase falho, a comunicação entre os entes que formam a comunidade escolar não está eficiente, o que reduz a construção de indivíduos socialmente conscientes. Então, uma mudança sólida deste cenário é fundamental para a redução da situação atual. A comunidade escolar deve estar unida – através do diálogo contínuo e de uma comunicação eficaz – para suprir as necessidades da instituição, de modo que ofereça diferentes estratégias de fazer educação.

Published: March 2022

Qualitative data from a two-year study provides school administration and technology staff understandings and challenges with their use of surveillance in their role. School administration and technology staff offer their understandings of their need to conduct privacy impact assessments (PIA) when student personally identifiable data may be collected, stored or disseminated to 3rd parties. Connections between advancements of privacy in electronic health records and record keeping of student confidential information is discussed as it relates to storing of confidential data and the inappropriateness of an all-access pass for employees.
No Expectation of Privacy~ Building Community in Schools
Authors: Sadownik Stephanie
Published: March 2022

Qualitative data from a two-year study provides insight into the benefits and challenges of guiding principles in the gathering of surveillance amongst peers, colleagues, students, parents, teachers, administration and IT staff. Poorly written policies related to violent behaviour evolved across the United States and Canada, due to intial zero tolerance measures introduced in the 1990s, exacerbating racial and ethnic disparities. Data collected during the study indicated surveillance is attributed to five themes: well-being, assessment, policy, security, punitive, FOIPPA compliance, intent, test taking procedures and age are all considerations for the theme of policy. Punitive includes parent reports about teachers, administrative monitoring, students’ behaviour, investigations, and a reactive mindset without active monitoring. Few connections were made between the use of surveillance in schools and learning or assessment of learning. Similarly, few responses indicated the use of surveillance for measuring wellness in schools.
Normative Ethics, Human Rights, and Artificial Intelligence
Authors: CHOUDHURY SANGHAMITRA , Kumar Shailendra
Published: March 2022

At some point in the future, nearly all jobs currently performed by humans will be performed by autonomous machines using artificial intelligence. There is little doubt that it will increase precision, comfort, and save time, but this coincides with the introduction of many ethical, social, and legal difficulties as well. These great difficulties offer the opportunity to revisit some of the basic and time-tested normative moral theories advanced by modern philosophers. There could be significant advantages for the many players in AI, namely producers and consumers, thanks to these moral philosophies. Customers could use it to make a purchase decision concerning AI machines, whereas manufacturers could use it to write good ethical algorithms for their AI machines. To handle any ethical difficulties that may develop due to the use of these machines, the manuscript will summarise the important and pertinent normative theories and arrive at a set of principles for writing algorithms for the manufacture and marketing of artificially intelligent machines. These normative theories are simple to understand and use, and they do not require a deep understanding of difficult philosophical or religious notions. These viewpoints claim that good and wrong may be determined merely by applying reasoning and that arriving at any logical conclusion does not necessitate a thorough understanding of philosophy or religion. Another goal of the manuscript is to investigate whether artificial intelligence can be trusted to enforce human rights and whether it is right to code all AI machines with one uniform moral code, particularly in a scenario where they will be doing different jobs for different parties. Is it possible to use the diversity of moral principles as a marketing strategy, and could humans be allowed to choose the moral codes for their machines?
SOCIAL SURVEILLANCE, VIGILANTISM, AND REVENGE PORN HIRING DECISIONS IN CANADA
Authors: Sadownik Stephanie
Published: March 2022

This paper is informed by qualitative research for ethics with emerging and disruptive technologies and ethical dilemmas considering potential areas of concern related to the ability or inability of schools to conduct surveillance on teachers, further noting heterosexual male difficulties with sexual identity in teaching as a cause for a lack of representation, speculation and work place harassment (Martino & Berrill, 2007; Martino, 2008; Parr & Gosse, 2011). From a security and professional standpoint and to remove threat and workplace distractions, exists a requirement for teachers to turn off all location settings (Corriero & Tong, 2016; Jung & Park, 2018; Pooley & Boxall 2020; Qin et al., 2014; Solis & Wong, 2019; Sumter & Vandenbosch, 2019) on their cell phones while at school and a responsibility to monitor personal devices inviting an unparalleled perspective into workplace and social surveillance for moral exemplars and generalized ideas about sexual health in schools.
Displacement/length scaling relationships for normal faults; a review, critique, and revised compilation
Authors: Lathrop Bailey , Jackson Chris , Bell Rebecca , Rotevatn Atle
Published: March 2022

The relationship between normal fault displacement (D) and length (L) varies due to numerous factors, including fault size, maturity, basin tectonic history, and host rock lithology. Understanding how fault D and L relate is useful, given related scaling laws are often used to help refine interpretations of often incomplete, subsurface datasets, which has implications for hydrocarbon and low-carbon energy applications. Here we provide a review of D/L scaling laws for normal faults, discuss factors that could influence these relationships, including both geological factors and errors in measurement, and provide a critique of previously published D/L databases. We then present our newly assembled database of 4059 normal faults from 66 sources that include explicit information on: (i) fault length and displacement, (ii) host rock lithology, (iii) host basin tectonic history, and (iv) maturity, as well as fault D and L through time when these data are available. We find an overall scaling law of D=0.3L0.92, which is similar to previously published scaling equations and that varies in response to the aforementioned geological factors. Our data show that small faults (<1 m length) tend to be over-displaced compared to larger faults, active faults tend to be over-displaced compared to inactive faults, and faults with stiffer host rock lithologies, like volcanic and carbonate rocks, tend to be under-displaced with respect to faults within softer, more compliant host rocks, like clastic sedimentary rocks. Our dynamic D/L through time data show that faults follow the hybrid fault growth model, i.e., they initially lengthen, during which time they will appear under-displaced, before accumulating displacement. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive, integrated, critical study of D/L scaling laws for normal faults and the factors influencing their growth. These revised relationships can now be utilized for predicting fault length or displacement when only one variable is available and provide the basis for general understanding D/L scaling laws in the context of normal fault growth. This underpinning database is open-access and is available for analysis and manipulation by the broader structural geology community.
The Role of Personality in the Mental and Physical Health of World Trade Center Responders: Self- versus Informant-Reports
Authors: Oltmanns Joshua R. , Ruggero Camilo , Miao Jiaju , Waszczuk Monika A. , Yang Yuanyuan , Clouston Sean , Bromet Evelyn , Luft Benjamin , Kotov Roman
Published: March 2022

Personality is linked to important health outcomes, but most prior studies have relied on self-reports, making it possible that shared-method variance explains the associations. The present study examined self- versus informant-reports of personality and multi-method outcomes. World Trade Center (WTC) responders and informants, 283 pairs, completed five-factor model personality measures and multi-method assessments of stressful events, functioning, mental disorders, 9/11-related treatment costs, BMI, and daily activity across three years. Self-reports were uniquely related to stressful events and functioning. Both self-reports and informant-reports showed incremental validity over one another for mental disorder diagnoses and treatment costs. For objective outcomes daily activity and BMI, informant-reports showed incremental validity over self-reports, accounting for all self-report variance and more. The findings suggest that informant-reports of personality provide better validity for objective health outcomes, which has implications for understanding personality and its role in mental and physical health.

Published: March 2022

Open Science practices include some combination of registering and publishing study protocols (including hypotheses, primary and secondary outcome variables, and analysis plans) and making available preprints of manuscripts, study materials, de-identified data sets, and analytic codes. This statement from the Behavioral Medicine Research Council provides an overview of these methods, including preregistration; registered reports; preprints; and open research. We focus on rationales for engaging in Open Science and how to address shortcomings and possible objections. Additional resources for researchers are provided. Research on Open Science largely supports positive consequences for the reproducibility and reliability of empirical science. There is no solution that will encompass all Open Science needs in health psychology and behavioral medicine’s diverse research products and outlets, but the Behavioral Medicine Research Council supports increased use of Open Science practices where possible.
Socio-Demographic Predictors of Mental Health in UK Students: An Analysis of the UK Household Longitudinal Study
Authors: Ushakova Anastasia , McKenzie Karen , Hughes Claire , Prior Seamus , Murray Aja Louise
Published: March 2022

Abstract Purpose: Students are a vulnerable segment of the population in relation to mental health problems and understanding the risk factors for mental health issues in this group is important for informing prevention and intervention efforts. Most previous studies have, however, relied on non-population representative samples and analyses of risk factors in representative samples are needed to ensure accurate estimates of the predictors of student mental health outcomes. This study examines how socio-economic characteristics are linked to the variation in mental health among students to help provide information on who is most at risk in a large UK population-representative sample.Methods: A series of linear regressions adjusted for the complex sampling design were used to study predictors of students’ mental health. The 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS) were regressed on predictors that included age, sex, employment, health, ethnicity and highest education qualification in the student sub-sample of the first wave of . the UK Longitudinal Household Survey (UKHLS) from Understanding Society.Results: Results suggested that student mental health is linked to variation in age, health, employment, minority ethnic backgrounds and sex. Female students showed lower levels of wellbeing than male students. Unemployment and poorer health were also linked to poorer student well-being. Conclusions: Variation in students' mental health is related to socio-economic characteristics. Female students, those of minority ethnic backgrounds and non-UK born appear to be most vulnerable and hence should be the highest priority in monitoring and prevention efforts.
Harnessing Dehumanization Theory, Modern Media, and an Intervention Tournament to Reduce Support for Retributive War Crimes

We demonstrate how psychological scientists can curate rich-yet-accessible media to intervene on conflict-escalating attitudes during the earliest stages of violent conflicts. Although wartime atrocities all-too-often ignite destructive cycles of tit-for-tat war crimes, powerful third parties can de-escalate the bloodshed. Therefore, following Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, we aimed to reduce Americans’ support for committing retributive war crimes against Russian soldiers. To intervene during the earliest stages of the invasion, we drew on theories of dehumanization and “parasocial” intergroup contact to curate publicly available media expected to humanize Russian soldiers. We then identified the most effective materials by simultaneously evaluating all of them with an intervention tournament. This allowed us to quickly implement a psychological intervention that reliably reduced support for war crimes during the first days of a momentous land war. Our work provides a practical, result-driven model for developing psychological interventions with the potential to de-escalate incipient conflicts.

Age-related differences in motor speech performance may be only partially explained by physiological factors. In this systematic review we investigated the extent to which cognition is related to older adults’ speech. PsychInfo, PubMED, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were last searched on 21st June 2022. Eligible studies involved healthy older adults, and/or those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), aged 60+. Study quality was formally evaluated and results presented via a narrative synthesis. In total, there were twenty-eight eligible studies identified including 1,848 older adults. Most notably, three of four studies reported significant associations between global cognition and articulation in 787 of 817 participants. Eleven of twenty-two studies investigating attention/executive abilities reported significant relationships with motor speech subprocesses in 817 of 1002 participants. Relationships between other cognitive abilities and motor speech outcomes were also reported, however, there were significant gaps in the literature and heterogeneity in the measurements used. In addition, only seven studies contained the highest quality evidence. Global cognition, and potentially executive abilities specifically, may affect speech articulation in healthy ageing and in MCI. Further research implementing a range of tasks is required to better understand the trajectory of age-related changes to cognition and motor speech production.
Additional Graphical Representation for Single-Case Experimental Designs Data
Authors: Manolov Rumen , Tanious René
Published: March 2022

When visually inspecting single-case experimental designs data, several data aspects have been recommended to be assessed: level, trend, variability, immediacy, overlap, and consistency. In order to make the visual inspection easier, several visual aids such as adding mean or trend lines, have been proposed. In the current text, we propose an additional graphical representation focusing on summary measures of level and trend, as well as variability around the mean and the trend line. This graphical representation allows distinguishing between immediate and delayed effects and it also allows assessing visually the degree to which there is consistency in the change in level or trend. Furthermore, the degree of separation between the measurements belonging to different phases is represented in case of complete nonoverlap, or alternatively, the range of the overlap area and the proportion of values it includes can be depicted. The proposal for a new graphical representation, to be used alongside the common time series line graph, is illustrated with real data and implemented in user friendly freely available software.
Paradoxes Experienced in Embracing Inclusiveness among Students: Stories from Progressive Schools of Kathmandu Valley
Authors: Subedi Ramila
Published: March 2022

The discourse of inclusion in education is getting a great emphasis both in international and national arena these days. Talking especially about Nepal, with the rising voice for paradigmatic shift in education, the number of progressive schools is increasing which are in rigor of preparing a more democratic learning environment for teaching learning. However, since the discourse of inclusion in education demands addressing different needs of learners, inclusion meant to one might not be so for another. Hence, this paper aims at unraveling paradoxes the school leaders have experienced in course of practising inclusion among students. In this course, two school leaders from two different institutional progressive schools were selected purposively as research participants while Kathmandu valley was selected as research site. The study embraced narrative inquiry as research methodology whereas interview was used as method of data collection. Focusing basically on the areas of integrating cultural diversity and learning abilities of students, data were collected from the participants in the form of narratives for which open ended questions were used. From the study, it was revealed that inclusion tended to create in one way might result in exclusion in the other way. The basic paradoxes the school leaders narrated were regarding how to preserve and celebrate cultural sensitivity of each group in class and how to address students with different learning abilities without making them feel segregated in any way. Moreover, it even provided me an insight that inclusion in education has to be understood in contextual manner rather than generalizing it based on what the state says or how state defines.
Proofs Satisfy All the Figures which are satisfied with a Statement of a Theorem: A Geometrical Case Study
Authors: Chhatkuli Shyam Bahadur
Published: March 2022

The objective of the study is to find the learning effectiveness of given the theorem of geometry of class10 in the book published by government of Nepal MOEST which has been the subject of debate among teachers and learners. The study primarily focus Makawanpur district and the informants were selected convinently for the study.  There are 95 community schools and 41 private schools in the district. The teachers were selected from both Nepali and English mediums. I conducted the questionnaire survey of the selected teachers and a case study of students. So, there were 40 mathematic teachers for the data collection and five students. Primary data had been collected visiting personally to fill up a set questionnaire with six objectives yes/no and true/false questions. There was a pilot test before the collection of the data.  It was found that the present diagram and used strategy of class 10 book has to be reviewed immediately before the new session starts for the coming academic session. The conclusion of the study is that the debatable proof of theorem can be replaced with the one that matches the principle of theorem “Figures which are satisfied with a statement of a theorem the proofs satisfy all of them”.
