Efectos de respuesta en encuestas administradas: diferencias entre la aplicación visual y la oral
Authors: Díaz de Rada Vidal
Published: January 2023

Este trabajo lleva a cabo una aplicación del efecto complacencia-survey satisfacing en la realidad española y analiza concretamente la mayor elección de las primeras opciones de respuesta cuando la persona entrevistada dispone de información visual, y de las últimas cuando la información se transmite de forma oral. Además, se estudia si estos efectos son similares en las preguntas con opciones verticales (totalmente etiquetadas) y en las que responden a una escala horizontal (etiquetadas en los extremos). Utilizando una encuesta presencial que emplea tarjetas de respuesta, se comparan las respuestas de las personas entrevistadas que utilizan y no utilizan estas tarjetas.El análisis de resultados desvela la presencia de efectos de primacía y recencia en preguntas de actitud, muy superiores en las preguntas con opciones verticales respecto a las presentadas de forma horizontal. Pese a que las tarjetas disponían de una opción final —«No recuerdo / No sé, no sabría decir»—, esta no es la más elegida por los que responden con tarjetas. De hecho, las personas entrevistadas que no las utilizan presentan un mayor número de elecciones «No sé». Es posible que la temática de la investigación, un concepto complejo y posiblemente poco cristalizado en la sociedad española, pueda explicar los efectos detectados.

Published: January 2023

The term “cybercrime,” which refers to an offence committed via the internet, is well-known around the world. When it comes to cyber security, it’s the newest and most complex issue. A computer is either the tool or the target of a cybercrime. People throughout the world may now easily access information and data thanks to the internet’s development. Although the internet has many advantages, some people abuse computers and the internet for criminal purposes, such as online pornography, cyber stalking, spamming, viruses, and hijacking web pages. Offenders also utilise the internet as a platform for child abuse, which is a type of cybercrime. Child sexual exploitation is a common kind of violence against children and adolescents in cyberspace and they are the most recent victims of cybercrime. Criminals prey on youngsters by engaging them in illicit practises such as online grooming, the production, distribution, and possession of child pornography, exposure to hazardous content, harassment, and sexual abuse, cyber bullying etc. Today, cybercrime is becoming a global issue of considerable concern. The pace of technological advancement in India is accelerating due to the COVID-19 pandemic, children have been spending more time on virtual platforms, which has exposed them to online harassment and cyber bullying. However, not all youngsters are equipped with the information and resources to protect themselves online. According to the NCRB 2020 data, the number of incidents of cybercrime targeting children has increased dramatically since last year. In 2019, there were 164 reports of cyber crimes against children, compared to 117 in 2018, and 79 in 2017, all of which were investigated.

Right to Privacy in Cyberspace
Authors: Rerru Singh Amisha , Gautam Dr Ritu
Published: January 2023

Cyber privacy is a disputed and unsettled issue in legal jurisprudence around the globe. The power of the new slogan, termed ‘Information Technology,’ has engulfed the present cosmos in the modern era. Individual privacy has risen to the forefront of the Jurisprudential conscience as a result of the sempiternity of knowledge in the midst of the ‘Information and Communication Technology Revolution.’ Even while the general population lives and transacts as effortlessly online as they do offline, people are not regulated or held by any standards in cyberspace. As more of our regular lifestyle shift online, aided in large part by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and quickly evolving technology, we must consider what cyber-protections we have readily accessible and the corresponding standards of protection of our valuable data. It is questionable to what extent residents of democratic countries would be prepared to provide as well as at the same time protect sensitive information. However, it is the legal domain’s job to develop an appropriate policy for protecting online privacy from cyber spying, cyberstalking, corporate espionage, devastating cyber-attacks, and website defacement. As a corollary, the researcher in this research paper tries to find out likely outcomes to assess those things that can be useful for our legislature to get an opportunity to construct a concrete base for setting standards, enacting guidelines, and conducting further research related to the evolving technology era’s possible problems and solutions regarding right to privacy. Moreover, this research paper places reliance on the Constitutional Right to Privacy vis-à-vis the arena of cyberspace.

Authors: Brendzel-Skowera Katarzyna
Published: January 2023

The article presents the results of a pilot study, aiming to assess the functioning of knowledge scouting in universities of the Silesian Voivodeship. Scouting is a method of identifying scientific projects with high market potential. This is one of the issues related to knowledge commercialisation, especially in this process’s initial stage. The article presents the definition of knowledge scouting and the scope of scouting work in creating supply and demand for research. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of universities use knowledge scouting. It focuses mainly on identifying the possibilities of commercialising the university’s scientific potential, even omitting tasks related to building and maintaining relationships with university employees and business partners. And this, unfortunately, contributes to the limited possibilities of cooperation between science and business practice. The article also points out problems that contribute to the discussion around commercialising scientific research results.
KONTROLA ZARZĄDZANIA Z UWZGLĘDNIENIEM RYZYKA
Authors: Michalski Dariusz
Published: January 2023

Rozwój kontroli zarządczej w przedsiębiorstwach w kierunku zwiększenia pewności realizacji planów jest niezbędny dla zapewnienia niezakłóconego, ciągłego wzrostu zysków ekonomicznych. Zmiany te powinny umożliwić świadome i efektywne zarządzanie wpływem ryzyka na funkcjonowanie przedsiębiorstw. Pomijanie ryzyka w kontroli zarządzania może prowadzić do błędnych decyzji dotyczących prowadzenia działalności, kontraktów, utraty szans rynkowych oraz braku zabezpieczenia istotnych rodzajów ryzyka dla działalności operacyjnej. Głównym zadaniem kontroli zarządzania jest przygotowanie decyzji, które mogą być zagrożone w wysoce niestabilnym środowisku biznesowym. Decydenci w każdym przedsiębiorstwie wymagają terminowej i rzetelnej informacji. Menedżerowie działają w warunkach ignorancji ze względu na ryzyko, którym należy zarządzać także poprzez rozbudowanie kontroli zarządczej o element ryzyka. Uzyskanie prawidłowych danych o ryzyku i jego wpływie na wyniki ekonomiczne staje się podstawą do podejmowania skutecznych decyzji. W praktyce kontroli zarządzania nie poświęca się jednak wystarczającej uwagi kwestiom analizy ryzyka, symulacji ryzyka, bezpieczeństwa planowania czy pomiaru wyników skorygowanych o ryzyko, co wymaga także zbudowania kompetencji wspierających wdrażanie elementów zarządzania ryzykiem nie tylko w kontroli zarządzania, ale także do procesu zarządzania przedsiębiorstwem. Powyższe aspekty wpłynęły na określenie celu artykułu, którym jest wskazanie na konieczne dostosowanie kontroli zarządzania, zapewniające kompletność informacji zarządczej w otoczeniu biznesowym, charakteryzowanym przez globalne ryzyko i VUCA. Stąd w artykule autor proponuje rozwój elementów kontroli zarządczej wynikający z jego własnych doświadczeń, które zostały uzupełnione literaturą z zakresu zarządzania i zarządzania ryzykiem.

Published: January 2023

Cereals occupy prime position in diet composition of all human beings, with rice, wheat and maize being the major staple cereals with more than 70% share among all the food grains. With the inception of green revolution, India from being a food deficit and net importer of food grains not only became self reliant but also one of the major exporters of food grains with the adoption of modern wheat and rice varieties. Thus the present study was undertaken to analyze the trends in area, production and productivity of rice, wheat and maize for the period 1990-91 to 2012-13 obtaining data from the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, New Delhi. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and coefficient of variation were also used to see the growth patterns and instability in the production and productivity of these cereals overtime. The results showed that in both rice and wheat instability increased in area, production and productivity but most of the states registered an increasing growth trends during the period. Notably Maize showed increase in area, yield and production since 2000 due to its increasing demand for industrial usage and had significant growth in the decade due to its growing commercial value with emergence of promising new hybrids. The study points out to the significant intervention of policy to helpmaintain stability in case of major cereals of Indiaâ€™s food security.
Application of Soft Computing Techniques in Bridge Health Assessment: A Review
Authors: Das Khan Sudha , Topdar Pijush , Kumar Datta Aloke
Published: January 2023

Bridges are complex structures of highway networks. Regular inspection and maintenance are required to keep these structures safe and functional. Decision-makers often face challenges in selecting maintenance and repair plans for the massive backlog of deteriorated bridge structures within limited budget. Several approaches are available for the health evaluation of bridges, such as visual inspection, non-destructive tests, and sensors. However, the information is somewhat uncertain no matter what the inspection procedure used to gather the health information of bridges. Further, uncertainty in the collected data hampers the reliability of the evaluation process. Therefore, there is a lack of reliable procedures for prioritizing bridges using present health conditions. So, computational techniques are required to tackle the imprecision and uncertainty of bridge inspection data and provide reliable bridge maintenance and management information. In this context, soft computing is a useful technique for extracting meaningful information from a dataset inherent uncertainty. Hence, this study attempted to review the current state of the application of soft computing techniques in bridge health assessment. The articles between 2019 to 2022 were reviewed. Different soft computing techniques were found to be compatible with different inspection data types (visual inspection data, NDT data, or sensor data). The current review found that applying a specific soft computing technique to a particular data type is helpful for reliable health assessment.

Published: January 2023

Botanic gardens have changed over time, as have their uses and social roles. They were initially developed in the 16th century for the study of medicinal plants, but between the 17th and 19th centuries, they expanded to Asia, America and Africa; they turned into active sites for the introduction, cultivation and dissemination of economically significant plants. The necessity for biodiversity protection and sustainable use gained prominence in the 20th century. Botanical gardens are faced with the challenge of addressing problems that go beyond the confines of the garden by making social and environmental responsibility a primary focus of their missions. Therefore, to a better understanding of the role of botanic gardens and to highlight the importance of biodiversity, this study focuses on the historical development of botanic gardens and their functions and the current conditions of botanic gardens in Türkiye.

Exploring Leadership Challenges and Ideal Followership of University Student Organizations
Authors: Mitra Richard Sagor
Published: January 2023

Student leadership is undoubtedly an early steppingstone in developing leadership skills in individual and university student organizations that provide such platforms. Existing literature has extensively identified various character traits that young student leaders develop through leading these organizations. However, not much is discussed about the leadership challenges they face in managing these groups. At the same time, the members are self-motivated to join these groups and receive no monetary remunerations for their services. Literature exists on the reasons for joining these groups, but not much on the views of leaders and the leadership process of the organizations. This research aims to fill that gap by exploring the challenges faced by student leaders and members' attitudes towards student leadership. The research was conducted among students at a selected university in Pune, India. The respondents were part of various semi-formal student groups (approved by the university authorities) where they shared an informal relationship as leaders and followers. A questionnaire was given out to leaders and followers, which contained different questions but tried to understand various common aspects from their respective viewpoints. Data analysis reveals that the significant challenges faced by leaders are: i) members' ignorance to follow instruction/command, ii) higher preference to personal likes and dislikes, iii) carelessness on the member’s part, and iv) the anger issue. At the same time, followers seem to have a positive and respectful attitude towards student leadership, implying that although student organizations are a voluntary workforce, an ideal member is to behave professionally. The findings were paradoxical, implying that while the members know the character traits of an ideal voluntary follower, they are not the ideal follower.

Published: January 2023

This paper’s problem is improving the spelling ability of Standard VII students of a selected Higher Secondary School in Pune. The primary reasons behind the low ability of spelling highlighted by teachers of the English language are 1. Irregularities in classes/guidance/practice during covid-19 related periods, 2. Lack of interest in practicing spelling due to online and limited classes, and 3. Lack of motivation to work on spelling at home. Studies on improving spelling include Language games, storytelling, activity-based learning, specialized guidance, and so forth. The research methodology consists of identifying an issue with spelling ability, planning ac- activities to improve spelling, implementing/action, and checking the effectiveness of the activities by reflecting on the results. The researcher conducted activities with the help of school teachers. The researcher used activities like word breaks, word journals, personal dictionaries, and dictation with test scores to interpret results. For analyzing data, the researcher used test scores and compared them with two situations, pre-test and post-test conditions of an experiment. Activities implemented were found beneficial to increase interest in getting essential skills in English like spelling and confirmed by the results. Similarly, this study showed significant improvement in spelling using activity-based teaching-learning.
Darwin y el posthumanismo
Authors: Escudero Alejandro
Published: January 2023

Pese al tiempo transcurrido el darwinismo aún no ha sido plenamente asumido o asimilado. Aceptado esto nuestro principal objetivo consistirá en justificar ―en diferentes direcciones― que el darwinismo sólo es coherente, en el fondo, con una filosofía post-humanista. Sin olvidar que en la Modernidad la filosofía idealista es enteramente solidaria de la ideología humanista que sigue imperando en nuestro tiempo. Esto último explica a la vez al menos dos cosas: por un lado, lo poco que se ha desarrollado el nexo que aquí intentamos reforzar, por otro, el interés y la relevancia que tiene el hacerlo.
Vida, conciencia y simbolismo
Authors: Espinoza Miguel
Published: January 2023

El problema que presento pertenece a la filosofía de la naturaleza y a la metafísica. Por eso nada de lo que digo aquí contradice los hechos positivos e innegables descubiertos por la ciencia sino que está relacionado con la interpretación de tales hechos y con su prolongación filosófica, es decir, con la manera en que científicos y filósofos utilizan tales datos para justificar alguna doctrina. Mi objetivo es doble: en primer lugar, exponer una de las maneras de concebir la jerarquía natural haciendo una breve descripción de las clases de sistemas que existen y de los diferentes estratos naturales; en segundo lugar, proponer algunas observaciones acerca de la explicación de esta jerarquía de sistemas y de estratos poniendo especial énfasis en la transición causal que va de un estrato a otro. Esta reflexión está guiada por el ideal de elaborar un naturalismo integral que evite a la vez el reduccionismo desmesurado del materialismo y del cientificismo, así como la separación demasiado marcada entre lo inerte y lo vivo imaginada por el vitalismo.

Male strength-athletes have special dietary needs yet if they have inadequate dietary knowledge it may result in them adopting poor dietary practices. This can both lead to a state of undernutrition or over-nutrition and predispose the strength-athletes to diet-related chronic diseases. The objective of this study was to therefore establish the influence of dietary knowledge on the dietary practice and nutrition status of amateur strength-athletes. Data was collected at the Railway Gymnasium in Nairobi County on the nutrition status, dietary knowledge and dietary practice from 162 study participants. Nutrition status was determined using 3 anthropometric indices; the Body Mass Index, body fat percentage and the Waist–Height Ratio. Dietary knowledge was measured using a knowledge assessment quiz and dietary practice was assessed using a Food Frequency questionnaire. The data collected was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. A P-value of <0.05 was considered significant in all the analyses. The mean Body Mass Index of the study participants was 25.72 (±0.41) which is classified as overweight. The mean body fat percentage was 14.09 (±0.48) and the mean waist-height ratio was 0.49 (±0.004) both of which are classified as healthy. Knowledge score of the study participants was significantly associated with their body fat percentage (χ2=10.814, P=0.013). The nutrition status of the study participants was influenced among all 3 indices by the frequency of consumption of red meat; body fat percentage (P=0.041), Body Mass Index (P=0.001) and waist-height ratio (P=0.004). The study concluded that dietary knowledge is a significant determinant of dietary intake and the nutrition status of amateur male strength-athletes.

Malaria knowledge, attitude, perception and practices (KAPP) of patients who attended the Microbiology Laboratories of Ahmad Yariman Bakura Specialist Hospital and Federal Medical Centre of Gusau, Zamfara State, Nigeria, between January to December, 2017 was studied. One thousand, one hundred and one (1101) participants (consisted of 428(38.87%) females and 673(61.13%) males) participated and a structured questionnaire was used. The knowledge of the participants about malaria parasites, mosquito vector, signs, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control was remarkable. Majority 796(72.3%) had positive attitude towards malaria infection and in seeking treatment. The perception on malaria (in relation to causes, symptoms, vector, diagnosis and treatment) of the respondents was impressive and this was however guided the positive attitude. The practices of the respondents on malaria diagnosis, treatment, control and prevention varies from individual to individual with majority 655(59.49%) using doctor’s prescription, 601(54.49%) using the artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT). Both adults and children slept under mosquito net with majority 745(67.67%) using insecticide residual sprays both indoor and outdoor.

The NURC Project that started in 1969 to study the cultured linguistic urban norm spoken in five Brazilian capitals, was responsible for compiling a large corpus for each capital. The digitized NURC/SP comprises 375 inquiries in 334 hours of recordings taken in São Paulo capital. Although 47 inquiries have transcripts, there was no alignment between the audio-transcription, and 328 inquiries were not transcribed. This article presents an evaluation and error analysis of three automatic speech recognition models trained with spontaneous speech in Portuguese and one model trained with prepared speech. The evaluation allowed us to choose the best model, using WER and CER metrics, in a manually aligned sample of NURC/SP, to automatically transcribe 284 hours.
