Authors: Cruz Diana , Casas Sandra
Published: August 2024

El mercado de las APIs web se mantiene en constante crecimiento, donde empresas capitalizan las ventajas de las APIs para expandirse, impulsado por la Economía API. Ante este contexto, la gestión de APIs se torna crucial, con proveedores de servicios en la nube ofreciendo soluciones de gestión como componentes centrales de sus productos, formando grandes ecosistemas. De esta manera, los Ecosistemas de API Web (EAW) representan complejas redes de empresas interdependientes que obtienen beneficios a través de la colaboración y la competencia. Estos ecosistemas se implementan en plataformas digitales y pueden considerarse como Ecosistemas de Plataformas (EP), siendo un tema de estudio multifacético debido a su impacto en la provisión de productos y servicios, la competencia empresarial y la innovación. En esta constante evolución, los Ecosistemas de Software (SECO) aparecen como un tópico emergente en la ingeniería de software, donde se combinan aspectos técnicos y sociales para reducir costos y llegar a nuevos mercados.
 
Este estudio plantea analizar y representar a los EAW desde una perspectiva sociotécnica a partir de un modelo de características para identificar un conjunto de funcionalidades comunes y variables, obteniendo así una configuración sociotécnica de los EAW. Como metodología se emplea el enfoque de Design Science Research (DSR) para construir y validar este modelo, que se implementa en dos casos de estudio: RapidAPI y ApiLayer. En base a un framework sociotécnico de un estudio relacionado a este trabajo, que identifica cuatro características generales de los EAW, se obtiene como resultado un modelo de características sociotécnicas. Luego, se instancia el modelo en los dos casos de estudios para realizar su evaluación de su variabilidad.

Authors: Vega Alanis Micaela , Martin Adriana
Published: August 2024

En los últimos años, se exhibe un continuo crecimiento en el desarrollo de aplicaciones de mapas, de características de los usuarios que las utilizan y diversas situaciones en las que estas aplicaciones son utilizadas. Un diseño de interfaz único, es decir, que no admita cierto grado de adaptación, puede afectar la usabilidad de estas aplicaciones. Así, aquellas aplicaciones que permiten cambiar características relacionadas con la apariencia visual de los mapas presentados en estas aplicaciones pueden dar una mejor respuesta a las necesidades de diversos usuarios. Sin embargo, la relación entre los mapas móviles y la adaptabilidad de los mismos para atender las diversas preferencias y situaciones de uso de sus usuarios es un tema de investigación abierto.
En esta investigación se realiza en primera instancia una revisión de trabajos enfocados en identificar y analizar características en las aplicaciones de mapas, que contribuyen con la adaptabilidad de los mismos.  A partir de esta revisión, se selecciona en segunda instancia un conjunto de características de adaptabilidad para evaluar tres de las aplicaciones de mapas más usadas en dispositivos móviles. Luego, y para llevar a cabo la evaluación se definen y describen las actividades a ejecutar. Finalmente, se presenta el resultado de la evaluación y se ofrecen conclusiones al respecto señalando posible trabajo futuro.
Carnaval deCUlonial em Lisboa: piranhagem como prática política queer imigrante
Authors: Gustrava Gustavo , Rainho Marina , Raposo Paulo
Published: August 2024

O olhar sobre o “Carnaval deCUlonial“ é construído a partir de um cruzamento entre quatro lentes: corporificação de epistemologias queer, interseccionalidade, carnaval como ocupação do espaço público e deCUlonialidade. Os blocos observados (e vivenciados) em Lisboa são: 1) bloCU; 2) Colombina Clandestina; e 3) bloco sem nome definido, chamado informalmente de Precário. Nosso objetivo é pensar sobre como essas ações desafiam os modos de ser/estar na sociedade portuguesa. Refletimos a partir do termo “piranha“, que, compartilhado por um grupo de agentes realizadores de alguns desses blocos, funciona de forma análoga ao termo queer: um guarda-chuva interseccional, que agrupa variadas corpas em torno da ressignificação de uma ofensa. “Piranha”, porém, vem do sul global e pode apresentar maior potencial para agrupar experiências sudacas, enquanto queer, por ser um termo anglo-americano, ressoa de diferentes maneiras quando viaja por outros contextos (Pelúcio, 2016, p. 126). Também propomos pensar a DeCUlonialidade porque se trata de um fenômeno que aciona o CU no campo social: o primeiro órgão privatizado (Deleuze; Guattari; Preciado apud Sáez; Carrascosa, 2017, p. 12) pelas normativas coloniais e neoliberais como ponto de interseção para a coalizão performática decolonial de várias dissidências em assembleia nas ruas (Butler, 2018, p. 29). De cunho participativo e de quem pensa com (e não sobre) as pessoas (Ingold, 2018, p. 4), nosso olhar autoetnográfico sobre a vivência não é pautado por um princípio de separabilidade do campo, e sim pela participação ativa nas festividades (e suas memórias), na encruzilhada entre agentes, viventes, pesquisadoras e piranhas.

Authors: Elsheikh Tamer , Almaqtari Faozi A. , Farhan Najib H. S. , Mishra Nandita , Ettish Abdou Ahmed
Published: August 2024

The purpose of the study is to investigate how environmental disclosure affects environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting, specifically in relation to emissions, innovation, use of resources, environmental controversy, and environmental products. It also looks at how specific firm attributes and board characteristics affect ESG reporting in three different industries. The analysis uses data for 8094 enterprises sampled from Asia and Europe between 2016 and 2021 that was gathered from secondary sources and taken from the Refinitiv Eikon database. According to the findings, proactive environmental investments, fines, and environmental expenses associated with ESG reporting are positively correlated. The findings also show that European businesses disclose environmental information at a higher degree than Asian businesses, which benefits their sustainability initiatives. Furthermore, sustainability indices have an adverse relationship with ESG reporting in Asia but a positive relationship with ESG reporting in Europe. Crucially, the findings show that various industries have varied relationships between sustainability reporting and environmental indicators. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers by highlighting the extent to which enterprises disclose their emissions, innovations, and resource use. Additionally, the study offers evidence on the role of corporate board members and how certain board characteristics as important mechanisms can improve the quality of ESG reporting making environmental disclosures useful and relevant.

Authors: Maharani Ailsa Diah , Hafi Salsabila , Citra Dewi Risma Amalia , Kurniawati Heny
Published: August 2024

Glocalization is the combination of global and local elements in filmmaking. Glocalization also refers to the process of a global phenomenon being adapted to local conditions and values. This effort is to balance between global influences and local interests. The phenomenon of glocalization also has an impact on the existence of local products in the era of globalization. Glocalization can be interpreted as the emergence of a form of interpretation of various global products whose origins are local products carried out by people in various cultural areas. Aruna and Lidahnya is a movie that tells the story of Aruna's culinary journey, a young woman who likes to taste Indonesian regional specialties. This research aims to identify and introduce Indonesia's local culinary diversity. This research shows the process of local culinary adaptation in the face of global influences without losing the original identity. The novelty in this research is to understand and examine the culinary in Indonesia through film using glocalization. The approach in this research uses a qualitative descriptive method. This qualitative descriptive approach is to explore the meanings contained in the film text in depth, as well as to explore the various dimensions of culinary and culture in the film. Data collection was done through listening, recording, and noting relevant elements in the film, such as dialog, scenes, and the context of using social media. The data analysis technique used is an interactive model that includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation to conclusion drawing. The culinary in the film "Aruna & Lidahnya" effectively illustrates the concept of glocalization in the context of Indonesian cuisine by combining local and global elements. So that foreigners or people who are not familiar with Indonesian food know that in the movie Aruna there are foods such as campor larjuk, rujak soto, pengkang. Thus the movie succeeded in raising awareness and appreciation of Indonesian cuisine.

Authors: Sierra-Porta David
Published: August 2024

We describe some projects and initiatives for astroparticles physics from basic and application level. Three specialized instruments have been design, built and put into operation for the study of various characteristics and phenomena of cosmic rays. One of detector based on Cherenkov effect consists of three Water Cherenkov Detectors calibrated spatially and temporally, that allow the characterization of secondary cascades of cosmic ray particles. These devices allow to study the original composition and parameters of primary cosmic rays from the secondary particles detected on the ground. A second type of detectors based on scintillation effect are used for specific applications in the characterization of materials and mountainous structures. These detectors allow the counting of incident secondaries particles (muons mainly) while determining their arrival direction. Studing their attenuation in the material medium we can infer composition and density profiles.

Published: August 2024

A cultura da prática pode ser entendida como costumes, hábitos e rotinas, que se caracterizam por uma conduta inercial. Embora reconhecida como perspectiva significante pela literatura, essa categoria é raramente investigada nos casos falhas de projetos de Políticas públicas, envolvendo em geral questões relacionadas a temas como governança, oportunismo e recursos. O objetivo do presente estudo focalizou a relevância da cultura da prática como categoria relevante no sucesso ou insucessos de Políticas públicas voltadas para sustentabilidade. Tendo, como referencial teórico, uma das matrizes de categorias mais frequente na literatura, foram desenvolvidas investigações críticas em três projetos brasileiros, considerando reciclagem, sustentabilidade de oceanos e mobilidade urbana. A coleta de dados foi realizada a partir de fontes secundárias, verificando-se a presença de marcadores preconizados na matriz de categorias para as três situações investigadas. Nos casos observados, foram identificadas evidências de comportamentos e ações associadas à cultura da prática, a partir de uma ética da individualidade e de busca de protagonismo, dificultando a implementação de ações coletivas. A contribuição do trabalho, oferecendo implicações teóricas e gerenciais, relaciona-se à proposição de um conceito operacional de cultura, possibilitando a realização de pesquisas acadêmicas e planos gerenciais de ajustes em programas de Políticas públicas voltadas para as ODS.

Authors: Oliveira Jakeline Bandeira de , Santana da Silva Bruno , Figueira Filho Fernando Marques
Published: August 2024

A necessidade humana de comunicação associada a maior disponibilidade de dispositivos digitais e de acesso à internet no cotidiano das pessoas está favorecendo um aumento importante do consumo e da produção de conteúdos audiovisuais na/para as mídias sociais digitais, como o YouTube e Instagram, por exemplo.  Nesta nova realidade, há espaço para participação de produtores não especialistas, ou seja, pessoas sem formação e experiências específicas também estão produzindo conteúdo audiovisual. Como o processo de produção audiovisual por não especialistas ainda é pouco conhecido, faz-se necessário investiga-lo. Trabalhos anteriores identificaram que produtores não especialistas participam de atividades ao longo de todo o processo de produção audiovisual para mídias sociais digitais, porém evitam editar o conteúdo gravado. Esses produtores também relataram dificuldades em atividades de edição de áudio e vídeo. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar se e quais fatores de usabilidade da interface do software Audacity podem estar atrapalhando o processo de produção audiovisual por produtores não especialistas. Empregou-se questionário pré-teste, teste de usabilidade, entrevista pós-teste e o System Usability Scale. Os 10 participantes realizaram 4 tarefas:  ajuste de volume, corte de áudio, remoção de ruído e distorção da voz. Os resultados evidenciaram oportunidades de melhoria na usabilidade da interface do Audacity, em particular na facilidade de aprendizado e eficiência de uso por não especialistas. As dificuldades de uso do Audacity observadas neste trabalho podem justificar em parte os resultados reportados em estudos anteriores, tanto o comportamento de evitar editar o conteúdo gravado, quanto as dificuldades na edição de áudio relatadas por produtores de conteúdo não especialistas.

Authors: Suojala-Ahlfors Terhi , Koivisto Anu , Liski Eero , Jaakkonen Anna-Kaisa , Mattila Tiina
Published: August 2024

Open-field production of horticultural crops has high economic value in Finland. Profitable production requires sufficiently high yields and good product quality. This study’s objective was to assess the temporal and regional variation in the yield of three field vegetables (carrot, onion, and white cabbage) in Finland. Second, our aim was to quantify the yield gap of these species in their main production regions. The analysis was based on comprehensive statistical data (2012–2021) modelled using a Bayesian approach. Time trends varied between plant species and regions. In carrot, the yield tended to remain similar. In onion, some statistically significant increasing regional time trends were found, whereas in white cabbage the significant time trends were mostly negative, indicating a decreasing yield. The yield gap was largest in onion, but its economic value was highest in carrot. To ensure profitable and sustainable production, it is necessary to reduce the yield variation and yield gaps. More efforts are needed to adapt to climate change and control production risks.

Published: August 2024

This paper examines how Project-Based Learning (PjBL) affects students' engagement in English when taught in a virtual learning environment. The case study was classroom-based and used data collected through interviews with twenty-five participants engaged in a virtual PjBL enactment. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, while member checking was also used to ensure the data’s trustworthiness. The study found that the PjBL enactment had improved students’ learning engagement in three ways. First, the cognitive impact was seen in the participants’ experiences of a culture of self-directed learning where they were involved in the inquiry process through scaffolding activities. Second, their behavioral engagement was seen in their active involvement in project presentations and their shift in attitude towards the use of technology in virtual PjBL. Finally, their emotional engagement was reflected in the increased personal self-esteem and the change in the lecturer-student interaction. This research suggests that PjBL should be used more extensively in virtual classrooms because it positively impacts the students’ learning engagement and boosts their motivation to learn English.

Published: August 2024

Teachers are accustomed to traditional teaching, in which chalk-and-talk becomes the prominent approach in language teaching. Hence, planning a creative learning environment can be demanding as it comes with challenging tasks. However, the traditional way of teaching and learning can be inadequate for learners to retrieve knowledge in the 21st century classroom, as they prefer game-like activities rather than pen-and-paper lessons. Therefore, learners’ experience of using gamification in the classroom is significant as it sparks curiosity and immediate enthusiasm, which reflect the learners’ willingness to learn. Importantly, gamification prepares learners to be active and take responsibility for their learning. Fun games instilled during the lessons are believed to be more effective in producing positive outcomes due to learners feeling motivated to play more. However, learners would not realize that they are learning. This was followed by a selection of 108 respondents using gamification and a series of class activities in language learning at a local primary school in Kuala Selangor district, Selangor. The study was conducted using a quantitative survey method which involved administering questionnaires to the Language Camp participants at their respective schools. Data was collected, analyzed accordingly, and presented in the form of tables. The results showed that the integration of gamification in language learning aids learners to improve their creative, critical, and problem-solving skills. Likewise, interesting and engaging activities subconsciously spark the learners’ interest in language learning.

Authors: Flores Rogela Alcantara
Published: August 2024

The study used a quantitative descriptive research method to investigate the use of lexical features of PE in news articles of student publication. A content analysis of 31 news articles identified 38 instances of Philippine English, categorized into coinages (24), preservation of items infrequent or lost in other varieties (5), normal expansions (5), and borrowings (4). Questionnaires were administered to 21 English teachers to assess the acceptability of these terms. The majority of the Philippine English lexical features found in the student publication were widely accepted by the English teachers. The results showed that terms such as “Fab Lab” and “U-Days” were widely accepted (100%), while others such as “blastful” and “sophomostrial” met with high rejection rates (90.5% and 100%, respectively). The study recommends inclusive language teaching practices that reflect the linguistic diversity of the Philippines. This study not only contributes to the understanding of PE but also provides practical implications for language teaching and curriculum development.

Authors: Hidayati Taufika
Published: August 2024

Bullying is threatening, mocking or annoying behavior carried out by a person or group of people intentionally towards someone who is weaker. This action is generally carried out only for personal satisfaction. Along with the development of technology, bullying is now carried out using social media or cyberbullying. It will allow more people to see and imitate the behavior. If this action is carried out continuously or excessively, it will have an impact on the victim, such as experiencing mental disorders, depression and even suicide. Because of its bad impact, bullying can still be prevented and overcome because bullying is an action based on the perpetrator's choice. Bullying behavior is rampant among teenagers, especially middle schools. Providing understanding to teenagers is very influential in prevention efforts. The aim of this community service is to provide education, insight and better understanding to students. The result of this activity was to build Anti-Bullying students’ awareness. The method used in this activity was to provide education by delivering material by showing videos that include definitions, types, legal traps and the impact of victims of bullying behavior, which is then closed by question and answer session to teenagers.

This research is entitled "the influence of english learning animation media on second grade students at state elementary school 122371 Pematangsiantar". This research is motivated by the researcher's thinking that animation media is suitable for use by 2nd grade elementary school children. Children's interest in animation media lies in the audio-visuals displayed in animation media. This study aims to evaluate the effect of learning media on the English language skills of grade 2 elementary school students. With the development of technology and increasingly innovative teaching methods, learning media such as animated videos, interactive applications and educational games have been widely used in the language learning process. This study used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design, involving two groups of 2nd grade elementary school students as research samples. The experimental group was given English language learning using interactive media, while the control group was given conventional learning without additional media. The results showed that students who learned with the help of interactive media showed significant improvements in listening, speaking, reading and writing skills compared to the control group. These findings indicate that the use of interactive learning media can have a positive impact on English language learning at the primary education level. The implications of this research suggest that educators consider integrating learning media in the curriculum to increase teaching effectiveness and student learning motivation.
Social Risks and Legal Protection of the Family Institution in Modern Russia
Authors: Ogorodnikov Aleksander Yu. ,   Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL)
Published: August 2024

The family institution is deeply integrated into various fields of social relations, which can be categorized into three levels: interpersonal, group, and sociocultural. At the interpersonal level, there is an inclination towards forming families; at the group level, support for social environments is provided; and at the sociocultural level, models of family relationships are shaped. The challenges facing the functioning of the family institution large-ly stem from contradictions between these levels. The author demonstrates that despite 90 % of respondents expressing commitment to the family, high levels of distrust towards others and low assessments of societal moral conditions hinder the crystallization of this value in the lives of almost half of the respondents. The asso-ciation of a prosperous family with childbearing and child-rearing is characteristic of the majority of citizens, but understanding economic risks and social instability in society significantly diminishes the desire to have chil-dren. State family support programs do not overcome these contradictions. The majority of even married citi-zens are unaware of the full range of programs relevant to them and do not feel legally protected in cases of complex life circumstances related to starting a family and raising children.

Authors: Vinokurova Anna V. ,   Far Eastern Federal University, Khamaganova Tatiana B. ,   Far Eastern Federal University
Published: August 2024

The article touches upon the concept of “life strategies”, which is widely used in various scientific disciplines, but lacking a single definition. The authors of the article make an attempt to systematize the main theoretical approaches to the study of this phenomenon, presented in Russian and foreign science. In many ways, re-search in this area is based on the concept of “life course studies”. Foreign authors primarily use the dynamic concept of individual behavior and decision-making as the main theoretical framework. Russian researchers, in developing the issues of life strategizing, emphasize subject-activity and systemic-institutional directions. In general, the approaches available in modern science to studying life strategies are very diverse, and their indi-vidual elements can be combined in various ways depending on theoretical and practical research tasks.

From Joseph Schacht to G.H.A. Juynboll on the Common Link Theory
Authors: Yahya Mohamad
Published: August 2024

The topic discussed in this article is the intricacies associated with the common link theory. This theory was first introduced by Joseph Schacht and further developed by G.H.A. Juynboll. It was in the hands of Juynboll that this theory showed its strength. This theory has the dictum that argumentum e silentio; and the more perfect the isnād, the later the tradition, so that the more transmission lines meet, either leading to or leaving it, the greater the transmitter and transmission has a historical claim. For them, the theory can be used to trace the time of appearance, author, as well as transmitter of the hadith that is the object of their research. This transmitter is called the common link. The logical consequence is that many of the Prophetic traditions cannot be historically accounted for.

This research delves into the urgent requirement for innovative agricultural methodologies amid growing concerns over sustainable development and food security. By employing machine learning strategies, particularly focusing on non-parametric learning algorithms, we explore the assessment of soil suitability for agricultural use under conditions of drought stress. Through the detailed examination of varied datasets, which include parameters like soil toxicity, terrain characteristics, and quality scores, our study offers new insights into the complexities of predicting soil suitability for crops. Our findings underline the effectiveness of various machine learning models, with the decision tree approach standing out for its accuracy, despite the need for comprehensive data gathering. Moreover, the research emphasizes the promise of merging machine learning techniques with conventional practices in soil science, paving the way for novel contributions to agricultural studies and practical implementations.

Despite ongoing economic development around the world, poverty is becoming an increasingly important problem. Although absolute poverty still appears in some countries, relative poverty (the gap between the rich and the poor) has become the focus of attention. To learn what factors affect regional economic development, and therefore affect relative poverty, we selected 295 Chinese cities and analyzed their economic development problems using spatial econometric models (ordinary least-squares, spatial lag, and spatial error models), and city classification criteria (region and size). We found that optimization of the trade structure, improvement of medical resources, and development of fiscal decentralization and a market economy promoted regional economic development, but that the gap in disposable income between urban and rural areas combined with environmental pollution to limit regional economic development. Therefore, regional governments must continuously optimize their region’s economic structure, use tax revenues rationally to solve their region’s most serious problems, continuously promote trade, and narrow the gap in disposable income between urban and rural areas to solve the problem of relative poverty. Our results provide suggestions for China’s regional economic development, but also provide a reference for other developing countries to mitigate poverty and achieve more sustainable regional economic development.
Eco friendly branding and digital marketing strategies in Jordanian assessment
Authors: Almestarihi Ra'd
Published: August 2024

Eco-friendly digital marketing strategies are crucial for Jordanian companies that want to meet environmental standards. This covers eco-friendly pricing, goods, and online cooperation. In contrast, customer concern and action are not connected, requiring true green marketing tactics. Jordan’s “Go Green” programme and the EU-EBRD’s Green Financing Facility show that sustainability boosts digital marketing. Eco-friendly branding goes beyond sustainable goods and strategic collaborations to support green causes. Consumer awareness is rising globally, especially in Asia-Pacific. Eco-friendly methods are being used to improve sustainability, employee wellbeing, and operational effectiveness. Email, social media, content, influencers, and SEO are effective digital marketing methods that increase customer involvement and reduce environmental impact. The environmental efforts of Patagonia, IKEA, Tesla, and Google are notable in Jordan. Jordanian economic modernization relies on sectoral strategies that integrate sustainability and diversity. The government is making headway in green projects, notably in energy, to meet Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. Environmentally responsible firms use content development, social media, and influencer marketing to create real stories and engage communities. Content marketing requires understanding the target audience, creating instructional resources, and effective distribution. Influencer marketing boosts brand awareness and engagement. Jordan suffers from resource limitations and the need for ongoing education, yet urbanisation and cultural growth are promising. Investments and government projects in green initiatives are enabling this change. Jordanians are increasingly buying eco-friendly items, which affects brand loyalty. Eco-friendly branding boosts customer views and brand awareness in Jordan, emphasising the significance of environmental responsibility in business.
The influence of green supply chain on green innovation performance: The intermediary role of knowledge management and organizational integration
Authors: Zhu Jia
Published: August 2024

In the context of a globalized economic environment, businesses are facing an increasing number of environmental challenges, prompting them not only to pursue economic benefits but also to focus on environmental protection and social responsibility. Green supply chain management (GSCM) and green innovation have become key strategies for enterprises aiming for sustainable development. This study explores the impact of green supply chain practices on green innovation performance, with a focus on how knowledge management and organizational integration serve as mediating variables in this relationship. Grounded in the resource-based view (RBV) and knowledge-based view (KBV) theories, this research employs surveys and in-depth interviews with companies across various industries, combined with the analysis of structural equation modeling, to reveal the complex relationship between GSCM practices, knowledge management capabilities, levels of organizational integration, and green innovation performance. The results show that GSCM practices significantly enhance corporate green innovation performance through effective knowledge management and organizational integration. These findings enrich the theories of GSCM and green innovation, providing practical guidance for enterprises on how to enhance green innovation performance through strengthening knowledge management and organizational integration. Finally, this study discusses its limitations and suggests possible directions for future research, such as exploring the differences in findings across different industry backgrounds and examining other potential mediating or moderating variables.
