Quarry Industry in Rough Cilicia: The Cases of Dana Island and Kesiktaş
Authors: Varinlioğlu Günder
Published: December 2024

The fame of the construction workers originating from Isauria (Rough Cilicia) is a wellknown phenomenon in Late Antique architectural history. In the late fifth and sixth centuries, textual evidence reported Isaurian architects, masons, quarrymen, and ordinary laborers in construction projects in North Syria, Palestine, and Constantinople. Their emergence coincided with the construction upswing across the Eastern Mediterranean. In Isauria, builders had easy access to ordinary building materials, as variations of limestone bedrock are ubiquitous. In this context, two coastal quarries are unique cases illustrating the development of the quarrying industry and trade in ordinary stones. The first example is Dana Island where settlement and quarries co-existed. Quarrying may have started in the early Roman period, while its transformation into an industrial and commercial endeavor is a Late Antique phenomenon. As large-scale quarrying subsided or ended at the end of antiquity, the infrastructure such as coastal ramps, warehouses, and stockpile areas fell out of use. Decrepit buildings were pillaged, their sites were excavated, and quarries were cut through the coastline that had long served the quarry industry. The second case is Kesiktaş, which functioned exclusively as a quarry of industrial proportions but did not have a permanent settlement. Unlike Dana, the chronology of quarrying at Kesiktaş cannot yet be dated. Nevertheless, the stone industry and trade in ordinary building materials were essential in the economy and crafts of Isauria. These two coastal quarries of industrial proportions are unique case studies
to explore the use of local geology for stone extraction, the various techniques of quarrying, the size and types of stone blocks that circulated in the sea lanes, and the logistics of the quarrying industry and stone transport. They provide us snapshots of complex taskspaces where the protagonists were the quarrymen, quarry owners, stonecutters, metal workers, and other supporting laborers.

Published: December 2024

This study examines the influence of client deposits, securities, and outstanding shares on key banking operations and their role in the development of mutual funds within Kazakhstan's financial system. The research focuses on identifying which financial instruments contribute significantly to resource allocation and the sustainability of mutual funds. Two primary hypotheses were tested: first, that securities and deposits of legal entities significantly impact banking performance and mutual fund growth, and second, that individual deposits and outstanding securities have a measurable influence on these outcomes. To address these questions, a multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was conducted, supported by univariate tests and graphical methods such as Q-Q plots and raincloud plots. Data from Kazakhstan’s financial institutions between 2012 and 2023 were analyzed to assess the statistical significance of these factors. Deposits from legal entities demonstrated their dominant role in the financial system, significantly impacting bank liquidity and resource allocation. In contrast, individual deposits and outstanding securities showed no statistical significance, reflecting the low engagement of private investors and their preference for traditional deposits over more complex investment instruments. Securities showed a significant impact on banking operations but were focused on the corporate sector and institutional investments. The results contrast with international markets in a strong dependence of the financial system on the corporate sector. Although securities are widely used to attract capital and manage investments, their market in Kazakhstan likely remains narrowly specialized and insufficiently liquid, a contrast rarely seen in studies of more developed markets.

Published: December 2024

In socio-economic development and poverty reduction, particularly in countries with agrarian economies and a high proportion of rural populations small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are essential. Due to limited government resources for supporting social sectors, SMEs become  means for job creation, household income growth, and economic stimulation. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of SMEs in well-being development and poverty reduction in Kazakhstan. For this purpose, there was conducted regression analysis and the study was focused on three main independent variables: SME share in GDP, employment in agriculture, and employment in individual entrepreneurship. The data covers the period from 2013 to 2023. The results showed that the SME contribution to GDP has a significant positive effect on household incomes and thus key role in enhancing economic well-being. Employment in individual entrepreneurship was directly associated with income growth and improved well-being, particularly in rural areas. Employment in agriculture demonstrated a dual effect: while it remained an essential source of income, its impact was constrained by low labor productivity and seasonality. However, crucial effect on poverty reduction and well-being improvement was achieved through the combined influence of SMEs, individual entrepreneurship, and agricultural employment. Thus, there is great need in diversifying income sources and adopting a comprehensive approach to economic development for effective poverty reduction.

Authors: Los Reyes Marichu A. De , Paglinawan Dr. James L.
Published: December 2024

Digital fluency among school administrators is essential for effective leadership and adaptability in today’s technology-driven educational landscape. It enables administrators to use digital tools that enhance communication, collaboration, and overall institutional effectiveness. This study investigated the relationship between work adaptability and leadership competence in shaping the digital fluency of school administrators, focusing on the Schools of Damulog South District and Bukidnon National School of Home Industries (BNSHI) in Maramag II for the academic year 2024–2025.

The research aimed to determine the levels of work adaptability among school administrators, examining flexibility, problem-solving, and learning orientation; describe their leadership competence in terms of visionary leadership, decision-making, and supportive leadership; and assess their digital fluency. Additionally, the study sought to establish the significant relationships between work adaptability, leadership competence, and digital fluency, as well as identify the best predictors of digital fluency.

Using a descriptive-correlational method, the study employed a survey questionnaire for data collection. Descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment of Correlation (Pearson r), and Regression analysis were applied to analyze the results. Findings revealed a “Highly Practiced” level of work adaptability, a “Strong Leadership” level of leadership competence, and a “Fluent” level of digital fluency among administrators. Notably, strong positive correlations were identified between problem-solving abilities (β = 0.417) and supportive leadership (β = 0.369) with digital fluency, together accounting for about 55% of the variance in effective technology use.

These results suggest that enhancing work adaptability and leadership competence significantly improves the digital fluency of school administrators. Educational institutions should prioritize professional development programs to strengthen these skills, equipping leaders to better integrate technology in modern education. Future research should explore the effectiveness of targeted training programs and their impact on student achievement and engagement in diverse educational settings.

Representações, Imaginários e Imagens da Profissão e do Profissional de Secretariado: uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura
Authors: Lima Amarilda Ferreira , Gomes Elisangela dos Santos , Silva Julianne Costa da , Souza Eduardo Cesar Pereira , Reis Ana Carolina Gonçalves
Published: December 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre as imagens e as representações/imaginários da profissão e do profissional de secretariado entre os anos de 2010 e 2020. As buscas restringiram-se às palavras-chave: “imagem do profissional de secretariado”, “imagem da profissão de secretário”, “imagem da profissão de secretária”, “imaginários do profissional de secretariado”, “imaginários da profissão de secretária”. Foram identificados 85 trabalhos, dos quais oito foram selecionados, entre artigos, monografias, dissertação e tese, excluindo-se 77 documentos, por não conformidade com a proposta do estudo. Com base na investigação, constatou-se que há determinadas concepções construídas ao longo do tempo sobre a profissão de secretário/secretária, atreladas aos imaginários da sociedade que as abarca. Desse modo, uma representação socialmente construída, por exemplo, é a de que se trata de um ofício feminino. Além disso, após análise do material levantado, evidencia-se que os autores que pesquisam o fenômeno descrevem que se trata de uma profissão normalmente associada a um tarefa operacional, o que se distancia do caráter generalista exigido nas diretrizes oficiais para cursos de graduação na área secretarial, e isso parece reforçar uma outra ideia: a de que qualquer profissional pode exercer tal função, desde que se encaixe nos padrões de gênero e de habilidades para atividades técnicas desenvolvidas pela(o) secretária(o). Ademais, os estudos investigados nos levam à conclusão de que se faz necessário avançar nas pesquisas, discussões e reflexões acerca do papel e da importância do profissional da área de secretariado para que se (re)construam (res)significações sobre a profissão.

Authors: Khan Shaista Kamal , Sheeraz Fouzia , Siddiqui Mavara
Published: December 2024

Advertisements substantially affect human lives because the use of deception in advertisements is extensive. Deceptive advertising has been commonly used by advertisers and companies as well as its impact on consumers buying behaviors. This research aims to measure the relationship between deceptive advertisements and consumer buying behavior with mediating effects of product satisfaction and retailer satisfaction in personal care products. The first mediation is, that perceived deception affected retailer satisfaction through product satisfaction, whereas the second mediation is that perceived deception affects consumer loyalty and word of mouth through retailer satisfaction. The primary data was collected from the 384 respondents through convenience sampling by using survey questionnaires. The expectancy disconfirmation theory was adopted to evaluate the factors of consumer buying behavior. PLS-SEM was applied to the data for hypothesis testing. The results of this research indicate that deceptive advertisements have a direct negative impact on product satisfaction and retailer satisfaction. Moreover, both the mediating variables (product satisfaction and retailer satisfaction) have significant effects on consumer loyalty and word of mouth. However, all hypotheses were supported and substantiated with the help of the earlier studies conducted in this context and remain consistent with them. This study enriches the literature related to the effects of deceptive advertising on buying behavior and provides the understanding that will help in reducing perceived deception. This refers to the inclusion of honesty in sales practices and the exclusion of deceptive advertising practices in both online and offline retailing. Moreover, this study is also helpful for consumers in buying decision-making.

Microalgae have garnered significant attention for their potential in therapeutic and pharmacological applications due to their rich bioactive compounds, including omega-3 fatty acids. Among these, Schizochytrium sp. has been extensively studied for its ability to produce high levels of these valuable lipids. The aim of this study was to create a Schizochytrium sp. S31 mutant library by generating UV-induced random mutations in the genome and then screening for mutants with high lipid accumulation using flow cytometry-based technology. A combination of random mutagenesis and flow cytometry-based selection was employed to isolate high-yield lipid-accumulating mutants of Schizochytrium sp. S31. The results revealed that Mutant 1 exhibited a 28.4% increase in total lipid content, while Mutant 2 demonstrated a 10.8% increase relative to the wild type. The results were corroborated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, which indicated that the cultures treated with UV light (for 30 seconds) exhibited higher levels of DHA than the untreated controls. The percentage of DHA increased by 17.9% and 12.1% in two distinct mutants relative to the wild type.

Interactivity videos for teaching planning in the distance education university
Authors: Hernández Solís Montserrat
Published: December 2024

The educational video is a pedagogical tool widely used in learning methodologies, not only at a distance method and applicable to all educational levels. Several authors have pointed out in recent years the usefulness of ICT in teaching and learning environments (Salinas). As an example, we can mention the increase of the use of this resource in the offer of training and information, the opening of new tutoring possibilities, the elimination of space and time barriers, the facilitation of personal work, collaborative work and self-control learning, in addition to improving interactivity and flexibility in learning. Over time, university higher education has been incorporating these technologies and has faced the challenge of transforming the traditional face-to-face classroom into a virtual class using various multimedia tools and new teaching resources that are not traditional written materials (texts and study guides).  In this evolution towards digital education, the development of the Internet and its ability to integrate a set of multimedia materials of a diverse nature (web conferences, video conferences, chats, videos and audios or electronic mini-videos) has been crucial. In this line, within the Master's Degree in Insurance Law that is taught at the Faculty of Law of the UNED, belonging to the Commercial Law Department, and is applied to a subject called "Elements of actuarial calculation". I have carried out the gradual incorporation of explanatory mini-videos with interactivity applied to teaching, so as to ensure the students have effective and positive help to facilitate them in their learning and, in this way, obtain a better academic performance.

Este artículo se enmarca en un Proyecto de Innovación y Mejora Educativa (PIME) de dos años de duración que se llevará a cabo en la Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) durante los años 2024 y 2025. El proyecto tiene como objetivo diseñar y aplicar una metodología de Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos (ABP) para una adecuada adquisición de Competencias Transversales (CT) e integración de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), el cual, se implementará en la asignatura de “Dinámica de Sistemas Mecánicos” del primer año del Máster en Ingeniería Mecatrónica de la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería del Diseño (ETSID).  Para ello, se recogen evidencias a través de técnicas tanto cuantitativas como cualitativas (tales como encuestas, discusiones grupales con los estudiantes, etc.) sobre su percepción y satisfacción con la metodología y su afinidad y nivel de conocimiento sobre las CT y los ODS que se trabajan durante el curso. Los resultados muestran un respaldo mayoritario de los estudiantes y profesorado respecto al planteamiento general de la asignatura y la validez de aplicar técnicas de enseñanza activa, como el ABP, para los fines propuestos. Sin embargo, se ha detectado la necesidad de continuar trabajando en su mejora e implementación práctica para lograr una asignatura más viable en el tiempo, atractiva, motivadora y cercana al mercado laboral y a una sociedad sostenible.

Una de las formas de motivar al estudiantado en el proceso de aprendizaje es ofrecer charlas profesionales donde se vea una aplicación práctica en el mundo laboral de los conceptos teóricos trabajados en el aula. Al escuchar relatos de profesionales, el estudiantado puede identificarse con los oradores y encontrar inspiración para sus propias trayectorias profesionales. En este artículo se analiza si una serie de charlas impartidas por trabajadores de Capgemini en diversos grados de la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de la Universidad de Valencia son percibidas por el alumnado como útiles en su formación. Además, también se pretende analizar la retroalimentación del alumnado para mejorar estas charlas en futuros cursos.

Published: December 2024

Es un hecho que la educación y la forma de abordarla están cambiando. Por ello, es inasumible tratar los problemas de enseñanza tradicionales, tales como la resolución de problemas, la adquisición de competencias o el pensamiento crítico, de forma conservadora. Ante las mismas, se plantean soluciones tecnológicas educativas innovadoras donde el foco recae en el desarrollo y aplicación práctica de metodología activas que posibiliten la gestión e implementación de soluciones a las necesidades presentadas en una asignatura. La premisa principal de este trabajo es conocer y evaluar, a través de la experiencia de una salida de campo, cómo los estudiantes adquieren las habilidades, conocimientos y destrezas empleando procedimientos o actitudes necesarias para resolver problemas cotidianos en una situación real como es el trabajo de un guía turístico. En concreto, en esta actividad se analizan las competencias transversales CT-03. Análisis y resolución de problemas, CT-08. Comunicación efectiva y CT-13 Instrumental específica definidas por la Universitat Politècnica de València. La experiencia llevada a cabo durante 3 años en la asignatura Guías Turísticos en su vertiente de asistencia al grupo permite comprobar que colocar al alumno en una situación real mediante metodologías activas facilita la consecución de los objetivos marcados en la guía docente y especialmente la resolución de problemas. Por su parte, la evaluación formativa por pares permite reforzar los conocimientos teóricos planteados a lo largo de la asignatura.
