Published: June 2021

The rapid development of Science and Technology in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 has influenced various aspects of human life, both in the world of work and the world of education. The purpose of this article is written with the hope that Christian Religious Colleges can answer the challenges of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 in order to produce human resources or graduates who are able to compete in the midst of global competition. One of the steps is to reconstruct a curriculum that is responsive to technological developments. The compilation and implementation of curricula at Christian Religious Colleges must refer to KKNI and the National Higher Education Standards. The research method used is qualitative research with a literature study approach. The analysis process carried out is to use various literary sources, both journals, books and other reliable reference materials to support the author's analysis. Thus it can be concluded that there are six steps in the preparation of the curriculum for Christian Religious Higher Education which refers to the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI): 1. Formulating a Graduate Profile; 2. Formulating Graduate Learning Outcomes; 3. Determine the Study Material; 4. Compiling Subjects; 5. Determining the Structure of the Course and, 6. Developing a semester learning plan (RPS).

 

Derasnya perkembangan Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Teknologi di era Revolusi Industri 4.0 telah mempengaruhi pelbagai aspek kehidupan manusia, baik di dunia kerja maupun dunia pendidikan.

Kakukktojás vagy új rendészeti alappillér?
Authors: Christián László , Lippai Zsolt
Published: June 2021

Napjainkban a rendészet, mint állami monopólium túlhaladottá vált paradiga. Egyidejűleg, a rendfenntartás szükségszerű pluralizálódásának tanúi lehetünk, ami egyet jelent a magánbiztonság és a polgári rendfenntartás előtérbe kerülésével, az állami rendészet monopóliumának megtörésével. Hazánk magánbiztonsági szektora a rendszerváltást követően indult fejlődésnek, és jelentős szereplőkké válni a közrend és a közbiztonság fenntartásában, melynek egyik alapfeltétele a professzionális magánbiztonsági szakemberek rendelkezésre állása. A Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetem Rendészettudományi Kar Magánbiztonsági és Önkormányzati Rendészeti Tanszék által gondozott biztonsági szakirány alap-, valamint a biztonsági szervező mesterképzéshez hasonló felsőoktatási képzés a magánbiztonsági és önkormányzati rendészeti területen korábban nem folyt Magyarországon. A Tanszék életre hívása abból az alapvetésből következik, hogy a magánbiztonsági és önkormányzati rendészeti szakemberek, a speciális rendészeti szereplők, illetve vezetői utánpótlás egyetemi szintű állami képzése, a közbiztonság fenntartásában fektetett, hosszú távú és megtérülő állami befektetés, az állami felelősségvállalás megnyilvánulása. Igyekszünk bemutatni a Tanszék szélesebb körű értékteremtő tevékenységét, amely jelentős hozzáadott érték lehet a társadalmi kooperáció és kollektív munka eredményeként megjelenő komplex rendészeti küldetés teljesítéséhez, a biztonság megteremtéséhez.
A vámfelsőoktatás uniós elismerési eljárásának elemei
Authors: Szabó Andrea , Hájer Tamara
Published: June 2021

A tanulmány célja, hogy átfogó képet adjon az EU Adóügyi és Vám Főigazgatósága által kezdeményezett elismerési eljárásról, az uniós vámügyi felsőoktatási képzések területén. Tekintettel arra, hogy jelenleg a harmadik pályázati periódus zajlik, így az uniós képzési kerettanterveket, az elismerésben részesített további felsőoktatási példákkal is kiegészítjük 2021-ben. Igyekeztünk a kutatás során valamennyi kerettantervhez illeszkedő képzést találni, kiemelt helyet szentelve a hazai vám- és pénzügyőri szakiránynak. Az Európai Unióban alkalmazott egységes vámjogi szabályozás és az egységes vámtarifa alkalmazása megkönnyíti a kereskedést harmadik országokkal, a vámhatóságok működése pedig a bevételszerző funkciója mellett, védelmet biztosít az állampolgároknak. Ez a gyakorlatban úgy valósul meg, hogy az uniós tagállamok vámhatóságai összehangolják a tevékenységeiket, mintha egyetlen szervezet lennének. Ehhez szükséges az is, hogy a vámhatóságok ismerjék és alkalmazzák az EU vámkompetencia keretrendszerét, és ha lehetőségük van rá, a képzéseiket a kompetencia keretrendszerre épülő kerettanterveknek megfelelően alakítsák ki.
A digitalizáció hatása a gazdasági szakismeretek és a számvitel oktatására
Authors: Borzán Anita , Szekeres Bernadett
Published: June 2021

Tanulmányunkban két felsőoktatási intézményben vizsgáljuk az oktatás és a digitalizáció kapcsolatát. Mindkét egyetem esetében olyan szakokra esett a választásunk, ahol a gazdasági szakismeretek, a számvitel alapozó tantárgy. A Budapesti Gazdasági Egyetemen (BGE) a gazdaságinformatikus alapképzés, a Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetemen (NKE) a gazdasági nyomozó, a vám- és pénzügyőri, valamint az adó- és pénzügyi nyomozó szakirányos hallgatóinak eredményeit, véleményét mértük fel. A digitális készségek javítása, a rendszerben való gondolkodás, a digitális alulképzettség felszámolása elképzelhetetlen az oktatás aktív szerepvállalása nélkül. A kompetencia fejlesztéséhez kulcsfontosságú a digitális technológiával támogatott tanulás az oktatás minden szintjén, amelyhez nélkülözhetetlen az innováció és a digitalizáció megjelenése pedagógiai, technológiai és szervezeti szinten is. Összességében az egyéni szintű kompetenciák mellett kiemelkedően fontos, hogy a gazdasági szakterületen dolgozók szintjén megjelenik-e a nyitottság a digitális transzformációra, és ha igen, akkor milyen gyors reakcióidővel, és milyen törekvések irányulnak a digitális trendek bevezetésére. Véleményünk szerint, ha időben reagálunk a változásokra, akkor a számvitel oktatása nem a digitalizáció elszenvedője, hanem nyertese lesz.
Koffeinhasználat és koffeinhasználati zavar vizsgálata rendészeti hallgatók körében
Authors: Erdős Ákos , Somogyi Ágnes
Published: June 2021

Háttér: A világ legtöbb országában a koffein fogyasztása szerves részét képezi a munkahelyi kultúrának. Egyes becslések szerint, a koffein fogyasztásának mértéke a rendészeti hivatás gyakorlói körében különösen kimagasló. A hazai és nemzetközi vizsgálatok ezen kívül azt is igazolták, hogy a különböző stimulánsok – köztük kiemelten a koffein – fogyasztása az egyetemi hallgatók körében is gyakori. Cél: Vizsgálatunk során arra voltunk kíváncsiak, hogy miként alakul a magyar rendészeti felsőoktatás hallgatói körében a koffein-tartalmú italok (kávé, instant kávé, koffein tartalmú energiaital) fogyasztása. Továbbá, hogy megjelenik-e az esetükben a koffeinhasználat zavara. Módszer: Kérdőíves kutatásunkat a Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetem Rendészettudományi Karán végeztük 2020 október és 2021 január között a rendészeti felsőoktatás nappali munkarendű hallgatói körében. A vizsgálatban összesen 201 fő vett részt (nő: 44.8%; férfi: 55.2%). A koffeinhasználati zavar felmérésére a Koffeinhasználati Zavar Kérdőívet (Caffeine Use Disorder Questionnaire, CUDQ) használtuk fel. Eredmények: A hallgatók 44.2%-a napi rendszerességgel fogyaszt valamilyen koffein-tartalmú terméket. A koffein tartalmú italt valaha fogyasztó (97.5%) hallgatóknak a 10.7%-a kizárólag kávét, 3.0 %-a instant kávét, 9.7%-uk pedig csak energiaitalt használ. 73.4 %-uk viszont két vagy három különböző terméket is fogyaszt valamilyen rendszerességgel. A fogyasztók átlagos napi koffein bevitele 181 mg (SD = 88). A válaszadók többségénél (65.1%) megjelenik legalább egy, a koffeinhasználati zavarra jellemző tünet. A három leggyakoribb tünet a sóvárgás (39.5%), a megvonás (33.3%) és a fogyasztás feletti kontroll elvesztése (32.8%) volt. A válaszadók 8.7%-ánál (n = 17) a koffeinhasználat zavarára utaló tünetek közül egyszerre legalább kettő „gyakran” vagy „nagyon gyakran” megjelent az elmúlt 12 hónapban. A koffeinhasználati zavarra jellemző tünetek előfordulása és a nemek között összefüggés mutatható ki (p= 0,02027; p ≤ 0.05).
A toloncolás szabály- és szervezetrendszere a második világháború előtt
Authors: Kakócz Krisztián , Vedó Attila
Published: June 2021

A napjainkban csupán idegenrendészeti kényszerintézkedésként megjelenő kitoloncolás, vagyis az ország terültéről kiutasított személyek távozásának hatósági kényszerrel történő kikényszerítése egyértelműen a nem magyar állampolgárokhoz kötődik. Más volt azonban a helyzet a második világháborút megelőzően, amikor a kényszerintézkedés gyökereit még a községi illetőség, idegenellenőrzés és szegényügy témakörében kell keresnünk. A ma már kevéssé ismert községi illetőség fogalomrendszere a magyar állampolgárság keletkeztetésétől kezdve a mindennapi élet több területén meghatározó jelentőséggel bírt. A községek rendezéséről és jogállásáról szóló törvények már a XIX. század végén egyre szélesebb körben tárgyalták a közigazgatás egyik alapkövének számító kérdést. A polgárok községi illetősége sok egyéb mellett arra is választ adott, hogy mely illetőségi község volt köteles helytállni bizonyos szociális kérdésekben, melyeket a korabeli szakirodalom a szegényügy gyűjtőnévvel illetett. Ha az illetőségi községén kívül tartózkodó magyar állampolgár, vagy a magyarországi illetőségi községgel nem rendelkező külföldi terhet jelentett a szociális ellátó rendszerre, ennek megszűntetése érdekében az őt fogadni köteles illetőségi községébe toloncolták vissza. Vagyis az alapvetően az illetőségi községükön kívül tartózkodó, és bizonyos okokból oda hatósági kényszerrel visszatérni kénytelen magyar állampolgárok toloncszabályai mellett egyre hangsúlyosabban jelent meg a kényszerintézkedés külföldiekkel szembeni foganatosításának igénye is, amely végső soron annak mai értelemben vett idegenrendészeti intézkedéssé válásához vezetett. A tanulmány ennek kezdeteit, jogszabályi környezetét, valamint a végrehajtásra hivatott szervezetrendszert tekinti át.
LIMONOV’S “TRACE” IN THE PROSE OF ZAKHAR PRILEPIN
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Bolshev A. O.
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the intertextual polemic dialogue with E. Limonov, which is conducted by Z. Prilepin in the story “Matches and tobacco, and all that” (2016). In the culminating episode, Prilepin, with the help of a recognizable quote, refers the reader to Limonov’s pretext, which is the novel “Adolescent Savenko” (1982), as a result, an important element of the semantic structure of the story turns out to be a dispute about whether it is possible to combine poetic sophistication with courage and aggressiveness, necessary as a warrior and a street fighter. On this issue, the positions of the two writers differ sharply: from Limonov’s point of view, poetic activity leads to effeminacy, while Prilepin is convinced of the opposite.
A Multicriteria, Bat Algorithm Approach for Computing the Range Limited Routing Problem for Electric Trucks
Authors: YEOMANS JULIAN SCOTT
Published: June 2021

As a result of increasing urban intensification, civic planners have devoted additional resources to more sustainability-focused logistics planning. Electric vehicles have proved to be both a lower cost alternative and more environmentally friendly than the more ubiquitous internal combustion engine vehicles. However, the predominant decision-making approaches employed by businesses and municipalities are not necessarily computationally conducive for the optimization and evaluation of urban transportation systems involving electric vehicles. An innovative modelling and planning approach is proposed to enable urban planners to more readily evaluate the contribution of electric vehicles in city logistics and to support the decision-making process. Specifically, this paper provides a multicriteria modelling-to-generate-alternatives (MGA) decision-support procedure that employs the Bat Algorithm (BA) metaheuristic for generating sets of alternatives for electric vehicle planning in urban transshipment problems. The efficacy of this multicriteria, BA-driven MGA approach for creating planning alternatives is demonstrated on an urban transshipment problem involving electric trucks.

Published: June 2021

In this paper,the wireless communication system with dual SC receiver operating over shadowed multipath fading channel is considered. The multipath fadingis k-μor Rician.The received signal experiences the short term fading which is resulting in SC receiver envelope variation and Gamma long term fading resulting in SC receiver envelope power variation. The closed form expressions for joint probability density functions of SC receiver output signal envelope and their first derivative of SC receiver output signal envelope are calculated for both, k-μand Rician fading. These expressions are used for evaluation of average level crossing rate of SC receiver output signal envelopes. The numerical expressions are plotted to show the effect of Rician fading severity parameter and Gamma shadowing severity parameter on the average level crossing rate of SC receiver output signal envelope.
How Accurately Can Spherical Caps Be Represented by Rational Quadratic Polynomials?
Authors: PROVATIDIS CHRISTOPHER G.
Published: June 2021

This paper discusses the incapability of a tensor product rational quadratic patch to accurately represent a spherical cap. It was analytically found that there is no combination of control points and associated weights to accurately represent the spherical cap. On top of that, an optimization technique has revealed that for a unit sphere the computed radii in the parametric space may reduce within the interval [0.999999994, 1.000104146]. This study makes sense as a preparatory stage in relation with the isogeometric analysis (IGA), which may be applied in conjunction with either the Finite Element Method (FEM) or the Boundary Element Method (BEM).

Authors: Patani Priyanka , Dholakia Ranjana , Khatik Mukesh
Published: June 2021

The present paper examines the role of voters before an election. It analyses the awareness and participation of voters before an election and what will they do to make them active partners in the democratic system of India. In this paper, right of vote, media coverage, political interest and political discussion have an impact on voters. Whether voter’s political awareness influences their participation in electoral activities. The results indicate that a majority of the voters need more awareness about politics. Their level of political awareness is accounted for by their level of interest in politics, pattern of media use and frequency of political discussion. The result also reports a limited impact of political awareness on voter’s participation in electoral activities.
Parametric and Economic Analysis of a Pumped Storage System Powered by Renewable Energy Sources
Authors: Diego Penagos Vásquez  , Daniel Sanín Villa
Published: June 2021

This article presents a mathematical model to calculate the cost and production of electrical energy of a system that combines energy storage through renewable sources such as wind and solar energy, applying a theoretical framework of mathematical aspects to evaluate a pumped storage system with Pelton turbines, using a novel methodology, easy to replicate. The results show that a greater increase in the diameter in the pipe of the pumping equipment reduces the electrical power supplied to the pump. On the other hand, the hydraulic losses in the pipe leading to the Pelton turbine are negligible for long lengths, so setting the maximum length instead of a variable-length with the hydraulic height does not affect the result. Finally, the information and explanation of each of the graphs that correlate to the variables of interest are shown. This seeks to offer a contribution to support technological development in areas that do not have electricity, taking advantage of natural resources.
A Reflection on the Impact of Christian and Muslim Prayers on Moral Behaviour in the Ghanaian Society
Authors: Macaulay Ron
Published: June 2021

This article reflects on the impact of Christian and Muslim prayers on societal moral attitudes. It also analyses the belief, needs, modes, advantages and problems of prayer amongst the two religions. The discussions reveal that the two religions acknowledge the importance of prayer. They also share similar views on the subject; however, with regard to some elements of prayer, they share divergent views. Some notable challenges in religious pluralism in Ghana are discrimination and superiority as a result of doctrinal differences. The study recommends that, since Ghanaians have become “notoriously religious,” their prayers should reflect and result in moral lives that depict the ethical teachings of their religions. This is because the exhibition of moral values is a sine qua non for having a positive impact on society. Furthermore, the fact that contemporary education serves students from a variety of religious backgrounds, can pose many challenges to educators. Hence educators and policy makers need to provide guidelines and strategies for teaching students to understand, accept, and value religious pluralism. Those policies need to be discussed by students and their families that do not only accept and support religious pluralism, but diversity in unity. This paper contributes to current discussions on religious intolerance.

Keywords: Pluralism, intolerance, prayer, morality.
A Case of HLA-B51 Positive Mucocutaneous Variant of Behçet’s Disease in a Young Indian Male: A Case Report
Authors: Sen Ishan , Majumder Debjani
Published: June 2021

Background: Behçet’s disease is a rare, systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology affecting the mucocutaneous, vascular, skeletal, ophthalmic, gastrointestinal, and neurological systems. While the exact etiopathogenesis of Behçet’s disease is yet to be established, numerous studies have supported a strong possibility of underlying genetic factors. It is comparatively more common in Turkey, the Middle East, and Mediterranean regions, and only a few cases have been reported from the Indian subcontinent so far. Although several immunological and genetic associations have been suggested, the diagnosis of Behçet’s disease remains primarily clinical and of exclusion.
Case Report: In this report, we describe the case of a 22-year-old Indian male who developed multiple aphthous ulcers over his tonsillar pillars and pharyngeal wall following an episode of acute tonsillopharyngitis. Over the course of the next few days, he reported the presence of a genital ulcer and papulopustular lesions over his chest, back and face, eventually prompting a diagnosis of Behçet’s disease. He was treated with oral colchicine and was found to be in remission during a six-week follow-up.
Conclusion: This case emphasizes the importance of awareness regarding Behçet’s disease among clinicians in India and warrants further studies on the epidemiology, immunopathogenesis, and management protocols of Behçet’s disease, especially in this country for a better understanding of its prevalence, manifestations, and disease course.
On the Interaction of a Bonnor–Ebert Sphere with a Stellar Wind
Authors: Zier Oliver , Burkert Andreas , Alig Christian
Published: June 2021

The structure of protostellar cores can often be approximated by isothermal Bonnor–Ebert spheres (BES), which are stabilized by an external pressure. For the typical pressure of 104
k

B
K cm−3 to 105
k

B
K cm−3 found in molecular clouds, cores with masses below 1.5 M
⊙ are stable against gravitational collapse. In this paper, we analyze the efficiency of triggering gravitational collapse with a nearby stellar wind, which represents an interesting scenario for triggering low-mass star formation. We analytically derive a new stability criterion for a BES compressed by a stellar wind, which depends on its initial nondimensional radius

ξ

max

. If the stability limit is violated the wind triggers a core collapse. Otherwise, the core is destroyed by the wind. We estimate its validity range to

2.5
<

ξ

max

<
4.2

and confirm this in simulations with the SPH-Code GADGET-3. The efficiency of triggering a gravitational collapse strongly decreases for

ξ

max

<
2.5

since in this case destruction and acceleration of the whole sphere begin to dominate. We were unable to trigger a collapse for

ξ

max

<
2

, which leads to the conclusion that a stellar wind can move the smallest unstable stellar mass to 0.5 M
⊙ and that destabilizing even smaller cores would require external pressure larger than 105
k

B
K cm−3. For

ξ

max

>
4.2

the expected wind strength according to our criterion is small enough that the compression is slower than the sound speed of the BES and sound waves can be triggered. In this case our criterion somewhat underestimates the onset of collapse and detailed numerical analyses are required.
Martial Virtues and Whistle-Blowing: Loyalty Misplaced and Courage Misunderstood
Authors: Stanar Dragan
Published: June 2021

This paper aims to explain the tension between the phenomenon of whistle-blowing and military values, embodied in core martial virtues of loyalty and courage, which are integral in all armies. By defining these virtues in the military context, the author demonstrates how expressing dissent in the military is not necessarily opposed to loyalty and courage, but rather that it is necessary if conflict of different loyalties is properly managed and if courage is properly understood. Only by ensuring that armed forces are led by those who truly understand military values and martial virtues, and that whistle-blowing can be both patriotic and heroic, can we strive for a lasting peace. By courageously expressing loyalty to his nation, institution and profession, a soldier may act heroically by blowing the proverbial whistle.

A reversible circuit synthesis algorithm with progressive increase of controls in generalized Toffoli gates
Authors: Dalcumune Edinelço , Antonio Brasil Kowada Luis , da Cunha Ribeiro André , Miraglia Herrera de Figueiredo Celina , de Lima Marquezino Franklin
Published: June 2021

We present a new algorithm for synthesis of reversible circuits for arbitrary n-bit bijective functions. This algorithm uses generalized Toffoli gates, which include positive and negative controls. Our algorithm is divided into two parts. First, we use partially controlled gen- eralized Toffoli gates, progressively increasing the number of controls. Second, exploring the properties of the representation of permutations in disjoint cycles, we apply generalized Toffoli gates with controls on all lines except for the target line. Therefore, new in the method is the fact that the obtained circuits use first low cost gates and consider increasing costs towards the end of the synthesis. In addition, we employ two bidirectional synthesis strategies to improve the gate count, which is the metric used to compare the results obtained by our algorithm with the results presented in the literature. Accordingly, our experimental results consider all 3-bit bijective functions and twenty widely used benchmark functions. The results obtained by our synthesis algorithm are competitive when compared with the best results known in the literature, considering as a complexity metric just the number of gates, as done by alternative best heuristics found in the literature. For example, for all 3-bit bijective functions using generalized Toffoli gates library, we obtained the best so far average count of 5.23.

Authors: Marty Stéphanie
Published: June 2021

La présente contribution interroge les stratégies de marques, et plus précisément le storytelling publicitaire, au prisme des pratiques contemporaines des influenceurs. Elle met au jour différents types de récits plateformisés, orchestrés par les marques, produits par les influenceurs, et ancrés dans une dynamique de storyliving  : un storytelling expérientiel, situé, dépublicitarisé et ludicisé. In fine, cette contribution esquisse les contours d’une triade publicitaire contemporaine… dans laquelle brand content (marques), self branding (influenceurs), et fanadvertising (publics) convergent pour donner vie à une synergie promotionnelle.

In this manuscript, we investigate the existence, uniqueness and controllability results of a Sobolev type fuzzy differential equation with non-instantaneous impulsive conditions. Non-linear functional analysis, Banach fixed point theorem and fuzzy theory are the main techniques used to establish these results. In support, an example is given to validate the obtained analytical findings.
A new coupled complex boundary method (CCBM) for an inverse obstacle problem
Authors: Afraites Lekbir
Published: June 2021

In the present work we introduce and study a new method for solving the inverse obstacle problem. It consists in identifying a perfectly conducting inclusion \begin{document}$ \omega $\end{document} contained in a larger bounded domain \begin{document}$ \Omega $\end{document} via boundary measurements on \begin{document}$ \partial \Omega $\end{document}. In order to solve this problem, we use the coupled complex boundary method (CCBM), originaly proposed in [16]. The new method transforms our inverse problem to a complex boundary problem with a complex Robin boundary condition coupling the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary data. Then, we optimize the shape cost function constructed by the imaginary part of the solution in the whole domain in order to determine the inclusion \begin{document}$ \omega $\end{document}. Thanks to the tools of shape optimization, we prove the existence of the shape derivative of the complex state with respect to the domain \begin{document}$ \omega $\end{document}. We characterize the gradient of the cost functional in order to make a numerical resolution. We then investigate the stability of the optimization problem and explain why this inverse problem is severely ill-posed by proving compactness of the Hessian of cost functional at the critical shape. Finally, some numerical results are presented and compared with classical methods.
A spectral study of the linearized Boltzmann operator in $ L^2 $-spaces with polynomial and Gaussian weights
Authors: Gervais Pierre
Published: June 2021

The spectrum structure of the linearized Boltzmann operator has been a subject of interest for over fifty years and has been inspected in the space \begin{document}$ L^2\left( {\mathbb R}^d, \exp(|v|^2/4)\right) $\end{document} by B. Nicolaenko [27] in the case of hard spheres, then generalized to hard and Maxwellian potentials by R. Ellis and M. Pinsky [13], and S. Ukai proved the existence of a spectral gap for large frequencies [33]. The aim of this paper is to extend to the spaces \begin{document}$ L^2\left( {\mathbb R}^d, (1+|v|)^{k}\right) $\end{document} the spectral studies from [13,33]. More precisely, we look at the Fourier transform in the space variable of the inhomogeneous operator and consider the dual Fourier variable as a fixed parameter. We then perform a precise study of this operator for small frequencies (by seeing it as a perturbation of the homogeneous one) and also for large frequencies from spectral and semigroup point of views. Our approach is based on Kato's perturbation theory for linear operators [22] as well as enlargement arguments from [25,19].

Authors: Demirkıran Nizamettin , Şenel Merve , Deniz Turhan Özdemir Gülistan
Published: June 2021

En este estudio, se investigaron los efectos interactivos de las variables del proceso: concentración de ácido nítrico, la cantidad de zinc disuelta en la batería y el tiempo de reacción sobre la eficiencia de la disolución de zinc metálico en soluciones de ácido nítrico aplicando la metodología de superficie de respuesta (RSM). Se encontró que la eficiencia de disolución aumentaba al aumentar la concentración de ácido nítrico y el tiempo de reacción y disminuía al hacerlo la cantidad de zinc. Se aplicó el análisis de regresión múltiple a los datos experimentales para observar los efectos interactivos de los parámetros experimentales. Se obtuvo la ecuación polinomial de segundo orden. Las condiciones experimentales óptimas se determinaron mediante el uso del módulo de optimización en el software Design-Expert, y se encontraron diferentes puntos de solución.
A Vision for Deeper Agency and Personalization in Micro-Credentials
Authors: Laughlin Tara
Published: June 2021

Current systems of education, both K12 and postsecondary, are leaving learners unprepared for the future of work. Standardized, compliance-oriented approaches to teaching and learning are inequitable and are not responsive enough to meet individual learner needs. A learner-centered educational paradigm has emerged which seeks to disrupt traditional models of education by centering the individual needs of learners in all learning experiences. At the same time, the alternative educational model of micro-credentialing holds great promise to improve workforce readiness. While the fields of learner-centered education and micro-credentials are simultaneously gaining traction, their possible intersections have yet to be fully explored. Micro-credentials have the potential to ready learners for the future of work while providing a deeply relevant, learner-centered experience. This chapter lays out a vision for exactly what this might look like and why it matters for learners.

PLA as a Tool
Authors: Horton Michelle , Vandenberg Monica E. , Dziadon Ann , Romer Allison , Rasmussen Karen
Published: June 2021

Prior learning assessments provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their competence related to knowledge, skills, and abilities that might lead to the awarding of college credit, documenting a pathway to alternative credentials, or earning credit for what they know. Complete Florida, an innovation project in the state of Florida, sought to help adults with some college but no academic credentials, working with students and institutions to identify opportunities for earning non-traditional credit based on an individual's prior knowledge and experience. PLA opportunities help jumpstart an individual's CBE journey and can help to accelerate a student's progress toward completion. Complete Florida, established in 2013 and defunded in 2019, leveraged a discussion to help institutions and students proactively consider how PLA can be used to leverage prior education, knowledge, skills, and abilities for earning college credit.

Published: June 2021

This case study describes an open entry early exit (O3E) rolling enrollment program focused on untangling the web of systems, assumptions, roles, relationships, and interagency processes to address the national emphasis on affordable, compressed, and flexible degree attainment, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) talent gap areas. To this end, Polk State College has empowered students with an affordable, accessible option that was initiated as a result of a National Science Foundation-Advanced Technological Education (NSF-ATE) project award. The project was designed to transition a traditional engineering technology associate in science degree program to a hybrid competency-based (CBE), modular, non-term, self-paced, learner-centered, faculty-mentored format. As a work in progress, having shifted to CBE in Fall 2014, the O3E program team has undertaken and resolved numerous challenges, many of which are still emergent, and identified significant breakthroughs to provide a catalyst to the reconceptualization of higher education.
Experimentation With Competency-Based Education at the University of Phoenix
Authors: Wesolowski Ward
Published: June 2021

The author of this chapter, Ward Wesolowski, served as the Dean of Operations in the Center of Competency-Based Education (CBE) at the University of Phoenix. In this role, a substantial amount of experimentation was conducted to uncover insights relating to technology, faculty roles, curriculum, policy, and most importantly, the student experience in CBE. In an endeavor as complicated as creating CBE offerings at a large institution of higher education, there was only one thing that was certain: failure. At University of Phoenix, it was important to fail fast, learn, improve, and try again. This iterative approach allowed Ward and his team to quickly see what worked and what did not, so improvement efforts could be focused on the elements requiring the most attention. Valuable insights and recommendations are contained in this chapter for anyone aspiring to produce CBE offerings for students in higher education.

The chapter also includes a complete description and definition of social engineering, the role it plays in network intrusion and cyber identity theft, a discussion of the reasons for the rise in cybercrimes, and their impact on organizations. In closing the authors recommend some preventive measures and possible solutions to the threats and vulnerabilities of social engineering. The chapter concludes that while technology has a role to play in reducing the impact of social engineering attacks, the vulnerability resides with human behavior, human impulses, and psychological predispositions.
Essential Security Elements and Phases of Hacking Attacks
Authors: Anchugam C. V.
Published: June 2021

Cyber security provides protection against theft of data, protects computers from theft, minimizes computer freezing, provides privacy for users, and offers strict regulation. Firewalls can be difficult to configure correctly. Faultily configured firewalls may prohibit users from performing any behavior on the internet before the firewall is properly installed, and you will continue to upgrade the latest software to retain current protection. Cyber protection can be expensive for ordinary users. This is chapter helps to understand phases of attacks and types of attacks. Ethical hacking simulates a malicious attack without trying to cause damage. If you need to understand the countermeasures, first you need to understand the phases of an attack. It is necessary to comprehend the steps to counter an attack once it is detected and stop the attack before it reaches the next phase. In general, there are five phases that make up an attack such as reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, covering tracks.
The Effect of Early Age Involvement to Individuals' Financial Literacy and Financial Well-Being
Authors: Moghavvemi Sedigheh , Muniandy Damarugappriya
Published: June 2021

Financial literacy is an essential skill, and it is even more critical during economic crises. The COVID-19 pandemic affected the global and domestic economies. While some of its aspects are beyond individual control, financial knowledge can help mitigate the economic crisis, manage income, and help people manage their respective finances. In the past decade, Malaysia experienced a volatile financial environment domestically, but the reverberations were also felt regionally and globally. Variations such as inflation, currency and interest rates fluctuation, and increased living costs affected a significant change, not only to the Malaysian economic landscape but also to individuals. These shortcomings were exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic due to its resulting cash-flow problems, where some companies reported “zero income” and reversed the economic growth to -6% in 2020. Youth unemployment tripled (11.7%). Cash-flow imbalances occurred due to payroll, business loans, utilities, and other fixed costs that business owners were obligated to meet.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left the world in complete disarray. Different economies around the world have tackled the COVID-19 pandemic differently, with several monetary and fiscal policies being introduced to combat the devastating effects the pandemic has had on the economy. This chapter focuses on some of the most economically powerful countries and their policies to overcome pandemic-related adversities. More importantly, it gives insights on how COVID-19 is different from earlier crises in terms of its characteristics and also in terms of the uniqueness of the initiatives taken by the major economies in mitigating its impact. The chapter also discusses how the new-age technologies can help manage this crisis better. The study also discusses the implications for the policymakers, the governments, the executioners, and the think tanks or consultants to the decision makers.
Do Family Control and Macroeconomic Fluctuations Impact Firm Performance?
Authors: Lisboa Ines , Teixeira Nuno , Costa Teresa
Published: June 2021

This chapter aims to analyze performance differences between family and non-family firms. Additionally, it aims to see if economic downturns and upturns cause impact in this relation. For it, a panel data of Portuguese non-financial-listed firms in Euronext Lisbon during the period from 2010 till 2019 is analyzed. Performance is studied in accounting-based and market-based views. Three types of variables are considered: corporate governance characteristics, macroeconomic factors, and firm's characteristics. Results depend on the performance proxy used. While to ROA no difference is found, Tobins' Q family firms outperform non-family ones, but results are the inverse using ROE, MTBV, and MVA. Moreover, macroeconomic fluctuations are relevant to explain firms' performance, specially to family firms. Therefore, firms must analyze specific characteristics to avoid losing value, especially in crisis periods.
Financial Analysis and Value Creation
Authors: Galvão Rosa Maria Morgado
Published: June 2021

The business environment is increasingly complex and demanding, and companies now face a pandemic situation with severe repercussions for the global economy. With this in mind, it is clear that the information provided by financial analysis is more than ever an essential instrument for management control, for decision making. Value creation is considered one of management's primary objectives; however, there is still no consensus on the superiority of value-based measures over traditional measures based on profit. The study intends to highlight the importance of complementing the financial analysis, based on traditional valuation measures, using value creation as an essential management control instrument. Thus, using the case study methodology, an analysis of historical performance will be performed using data from a company listed on Euronext Lisbon from 2014 to 2018. Economic Value Added (EVA®) was used to measure value creation.
Central European Banking Sector Integration and Shocks During the Global Pandemic (COVID-19)
Authors: Pardal Pedro , Dias Rui Teixeira , Santos Hortense , Vasco Cristina
Published: June 2021

This chapter aims to analyze the impact of the global 2020 pandemic on the banking sectors of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, and Slovakia countries in the period from January 2, 2017 to August 10, 2020. The results of the Gregory-Hansen test, in the covid subperiod, show 27 integrations (in 30 possible). When comparing the pre-covid and covid subperiods, the level of integration has increased 386% between markets, which could call into question portfolio diversification, validating the first research question. In corroboration, the authors have verified that the results of Granger's causality tests, in the COVID-19 subperiod, increased significantly. In view of these results and bearing in mind the results of integration, they can show that the crisis caused by the global pandemic of 2020 has increased the synchronization between these regional banking sectors, significantly decreasing the hypothesis of implementing efficient portfolio diversification, thus validating the second research question.
