Laboratorio de química en educación secundaria: 3 situaciones abordadas
Authors: Fuenmayor Zafra Ana , Morales-Toyo Miguel
Published: February 2022

Para la enseñanza de la química en educación secundaria, el saber procedimental juega un papel relevante y el estado de los laboratorios de ciencias se convierte en eje medular. Esta propuesta comenzó en 2019, con la aplicación de una encuesta a los estudiantes (pasantes) de Biología orientada a la Educación Secundaria de la Universidad Adventista Dominicana (UNAD) cuyo resultado permitió determinar que aplicaban prácticas de laboratorio en sus intervenciones sólo al 27% de 15 instituciones colaboradoras surgiendo el propósito de esta investigación, diseñar un programa de prácticas de laboratorio para los estudiantes de educación, que se ajuste a cada escenario encontrado en su praxis. La metodología aplicada consistió en adecuar y ejecutar, en parejas, una práctica de química, tomando en cuenta sólo una de estas tres situaciones que presentaron las escuelas: presencia/ausencia de infraestructura para el laboratorio, sin mobiliario/ materiales o reactivos, la segunda: infraestructura, sin mobiliario/ materiales o reactivos, tercera, ninguno de los tres criterios. Finalmente, se obtuvo un conjunto de recursos elaborados por los pasantes después de la ejecución de 18 prácticas de laboratorios distribuidas en las instituciones colaboradoras sometidas a este estudio. Actualmente, esta metodología es reestructurada en la Universidad Central del Este (UCE).

Published: February 2022

La relación entre parasitosis intestinal y desarrollo educativo infantil, en términos de cognición y aprendizaje, ha sido reportada con evidencias importantes en la literatura científica internacional. Con el objetivo de registrar las características de las parasitosis intestinales en relación con la eficiencia lectora infantil, se hizo un estudio descriptivo y correlacional, con una muestra de 107 escolares de cuarto y quinto de primaria en una escuela urbana y otra semirural de Barahona. Se aplicaron pruebas estandarizadas para medir la comprensión lectora y técnicas de diagnóstico de infección parasitaria intestinal en los niños. La infección parasitaria alcanza el 54.7% y de este porcentaje, el 43.1% estaba poliparasitado.

Las especies de protozoos fueron las predominantes, la Giardia lamblia fue la especie más frecuente; se diagnosticaron tan solo dos casos de infección por gusanos (T. trichiura y A. lumbricoides). Se encontró una velocidad lectora muy baja. Se identificó una tendencia que apunta a encontrar peores resultados en las pruebas en los grupos de estudiantes parasitados, especialmente con las deficiencias en la conciencia fonológica en los infectados con G. lamblia.

Con este proyecto, se inició en nuestro país la revisión y análisis de la situación de las parasitosis y el proceso lector desde un enfoque multidisciplinar. La discusión contribuye a generar un conocimiento útil para mejorar la calidad de la educación infantil.

Stealth Liposomes in Human Welfare: An Overview
Authors: V Ashok , PJ Padmini
Published: February 2022

Liposomes are artificially made vesicles which has a lipid bilayer and can be used as a drug carrier molecule for the treatment of
various cancers and other diseases. Conventional liposomes have short half-life because of rapid uptake by reticuloendothelial system
which leads to decrease in the concentration of liposomes and drug efficacy. Liposomes when coated with polyethylene glycol leads
to decreased uptake by the macrophages. This is called as stealth effect which prolongs the half-life of liposome in the circulation and
in turn improves drug effectiveness. The liposomes coated with polyethylene glycol are also called as sterically stabilized liposomes
or stealth liposomes. This review focuses on the characteristics, methods of preparation, applications, advantages and limitations of
stealth liposomes.

Published: February 2022

In Chronic inflammatory and painful diseases, such as Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Low back pain, Fibromyalgia drugs that
are currently used for the treatment of pain are opioids and for inflammatory conditions are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs) and corticosteroids. All these drugs produce potential toxic effects. Apigenin, a naturally occurring plant flavone, abundantly
present in common fruits and vegetables, is recognized as a bioactive flavonoid. Current study envisaged analgesic properties of
apigenin in animal models. Three dose, 10mg/kg,20mg/kg and 40mg/kg of apigenin were used in this study. Analgesic activity was
studied in rat and mice by radiant tail-flick and Eddys hot plate models respectively. In both models the standard drug used was
Tramadol-25mg/kg. The optimal analgesic effect of apigenin can be seen at dose 20mg/Kg in tail-flick(P<0.05) and Eddy’s Hot plate
model (P<0.05) in comparison to control and standard drug respectably. In conclusion Apigenin processes analgesic activities.
What effect does public and private capital have on income inequality? The case of the Latin America and Caribbean region
Authors: Santiago Renato , Fuinhas José Alberto , Koengkan Matheus , Cardoso Marques António
Published: February 2022

The effects that the Latin America and Caribbean capital stock (public and private) had on the income inequality levels of 18 countries from this region were analysed, over a period ranging from 1995 to 2017, recurring to an autoregressive distributed lag model in the form of an unrestricted error correction model. The results from the three models that were estimated (with the total capital stock, the public capital stock, and the private capital stock) pointed for the existence of an enhancing effect from the capital stock (public and private) on the income inequality of these countries in the short-run, suggesting that the investments were made in the already richer/wealthiest areas. In the long-run, the effects of capital stock on income inequality seem to vanish, probably due to the efforts to correct the previous detrimental effect. However, the lack of a statistically significant impact shows that, although the efforts, capital stock (public and private) still does not contribute to the income inequality reduction, meaning that these countries should improve/change the management and the selection criteria of their physical capital investments to be able to reduce their income gap.

Authors: Chutipattana Nirachon , Le Cua Ngoc , Kaewsawat Supreecha
Published: February 2022

By the end of March 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic were widespread in Thailand led to the closures of schools and universities. The home quarantine, social distancing, and other restrictions are likely to have psychological impact on students. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress and determine predictors among undergraduate public health students. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the School of Public Health - Walailak University. Research subjects included 463 students selected by a 2-stage random sampling. A research tool was a self-administered standardized 21-item depression, anxiety, and stress scale. An ordinal logistic regression analysis was executed to determine the predictors of depression, anxiety, and stress. The results showed that the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress was 24.8, 31, and 18.8%, respectively. Significant predictors of depression and anxiety were educational environment (OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.13 - 0.6;   OR = 0.3, 95% CI: 0.2 - 0.7), and tense feelings during learning (OR = 3.57, 95% CI: 1.9 - 6.6; OR = 0.5, 95% CI: 0.2 - 0.8). Relationship with boy/girlfriends was considered a predictor of depression and stress (OR = 2.5, 95% CI: 1.2 - 4.9; OR = 0.5,95% CI: 0.2 - 0.9). Marital status of parent (OR = 15.5, 95% CI: 1.2 - 192.3) and family provision for learning (OR= 3.1, 95% CI: 1.3 - 7.6) were predictors of depression, and specialized majors (OR = 0.2, 95% CI: 0.1 - 0.7) was a predictor of stress. Noticeable worries about “My physical health”, “Health systems being overloaded”, and “Restricted liberty of movement” are also considered as predictors of depression, anxiety, and stress. The findings are needed to develop a good education environment and counseling services for cases having emotional problems.

HIGHLIGHTS

Depression, anxiety, and stress account for 24.8, 31, and 18.8 %, respectively among public health students during the COVID-19 pandemic

Three groups of predictors are related to personal and family relationship, educational environment, and worries about COVID-19

Establishing psychological support, reducing academic burden to fit learning needs, and improving educational environments should be urgently done

Leaf Spring of a Lightweight Commercial Vehicle Suspension System: Structural Analysis
Authors: Saurabh K. Rane  , Bhushan S. Bhangale
Published: February 2022

Mathematical and computer modeling have been playing an increasingly important role in the computer aided engineering (CAE) process of many products since last 60 years. The present work consists of a leaf spring involving two supporting leafs with the main Leaf. Main leaf and the centre leaf are having a uniform cross section throughout the length of the blade, while the bottom leaf having a thickness of around 1.5 times of that of the other two. Moreover a central bolt and two supporting U-Bolts are provided to hold leafs together. The load is applied axially downwards at the eye ends of the main leaf and a double magnitude load is applied at the bottom of the bolt. Here in the present model we have taken the steel material for the analysis purpose and the nut is firmly fixed by giving a fully constrained boundary condition on it. An octree 10 node modified tetrahedron mesh element is used for the discretization of the spring model. For the whole work i.e., from the modeling to the result generation CATIA V5R12 software is used and the obtained results are finally compared with the numerically obtained result of stress and deflection to validate the simulation results. Vehicle whose, leaf spring dimension are taken is light commercial vehicle (Ashok Leland Dost).
Transformer Less Grid Connected PV System with Reduced THD
Authors: Mr. P. S. Chirmade
Published: February 2022

In this thesis, a single phase, one current phase of the inverter-based photovoltaic system for grid connection is proposed. The high power point is maintained by the Perturb & Observe Method, which is as simple as performance testing. Connecting the PV system to the grid converter is mandatory. Eliminating the system for making system light and simplification of inductor values are mandatory. To improve energy quality, system efficiency and reduce inductor size are proposed a double standard filter. These also to eliminate the harmonics of the second and fourth order at the inverter dc side. A modified heart rate switch based on the current source carrier network is proposed to magnetic dc-link inductor by reducing one leg switching bridge behind all active switching cycles. In this sense we have used the PV setting for the given measurements. The output of the same PV components connected to the current source converter. CSI contains modified Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT). The whole system simulates under two categories. One imitates High Value Inductor (Ldc) and the second is Low Value of Inductor (Ldc) with Double Tuned Resonant Filter.
erótico no poema "Lugar", de Simone Teodoro
Authors: Santos de Oliveira José Antonio
Published: February 2022

A poesia de autoria feminina tem ganhado espaço na sociedade contemporânea. Esta escrita evidencia os desejos, inquietações e posicionamentos da mulher moderna frente aos paradigmas existentes desde os primórdios da humanidade. Nesse contexto, Simone Teodoro é uma dessas autoras contemporâneas, que deixa subjacente nas suas obras, discussões sobre sexualidade, com ênfase nas questões de gênero — seja criticando as hipocrisias sociais, seja externando os anseios homoafetivos existentes no quotidiano. Pensando nessa temática, a presente comunicação objetiva investigar o poema Lugar, que aborda, profusamente, o comportamento sexual a partir de um olhar feminino, permitindo, por conseguinte, tratar das perspectivas da homossexualidade sob a óptica do entrelaçamento na linguagem culta e popular. Além disso, será estudado como os aspectos eróticos são construídos a partir das metáforas e dos outros elementos peculiares do gênero poético, trabalhando, nesse caso, a relação entre estrutura e fatores sociais, como elementos condicionantes ao escrutínio da poesia. Desse modo, essa discussão perpassará o caráter multifacetado da literatura contemporânea, vivificada nos versos eróticos dessa poetisa, cuja escrita ratifica tendências de ruptura e intimismo sexual. Esta pesquisa será embasada nas reflexões propostas por Bataille (2014) & Candido (2006).
Using the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills and the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory to Assess Self-Care Performance Among Preschool Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Chi I-Jou , Lin Ling-Yi
Published: February 2022

Importance: Caregiver rating scales often give an unclear picture of the actual self-care performance of preschool children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Objective: To assess self-care performance among preschool children with ASD using two standardized instruments.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: Clinics, hospitals, and early intervention centers in Tainan, Taiwan.

Participants: Sixty children with ASD (ages 48–71 mo).

Outcomes and Measures: The Standard Version of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale–Second Edition, the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS), and the Chinese version of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI–C).

Results: About 53.3% of children with ASD scored below 1.5 logits for AMPS motor skills and below 1 logit for AMPS process skills, indicating difficulties performing activities of daily living tasks. The average PEDI–C self-care normative standard scores were moderately low (between −1 and −2 SDs), indicating poor self-care performance. The correlations between the two measures were also low (rs = .27–.44). Overall, the results for 36 children were consistent with AMPS and PEDI–C scores; however, those for 24 children (40.0%) were discrepant.

Conclusions and Relevance: These findings have implications for how preschool children with ASD perform their self-care activities and suggest that more than half of preschool children with ASD have a need for occupational therapy interventions that target self-care skills. Occupational therapy practitioners can work with preschool children with ASD and their families to help them improve their self-care performance.

What This Article Adds: Many children with ASD need occupational therapy interventions that target self-care skills. Both the AMPS and the PEDI–C provide valuable information from different perspectives on the self-care performance of preschool children with ASD.
Impact of Culture, Spirituality, and Mental Health Attitudes on Intergenerational Asian-American Caregivers: A Pilot Study
Authors: Huang Yan-hua , Nagao Ciara A. , Santos Kelsey Michelle B. , Werchowsky Madison I.
Published: February 2022

Importance: Asian-Americans are more likely than other ethnic groups to care for older family members and less likely to seek mental health services. The research on caregiver burden among Asian-American intergenerational caregivers is limited.

Objective: To investigate how spirituality and mental health help-seeking attitudes correlate with and predict perceived feelings of caregiver burden among Asian-American caregivers. Favorable mental health help-seeking attitudes were predicted to negatively correlate with caregiver burden, and spirituality was predicted to negatively correlate with and negatively predict caregiver burden.

Design: Quantitative survey research.

Setting: Community mental health.

Participants: One hundred one participants were recruited using the following inclusion criteria: Asian-Americans who currently or previously provided care to an Asian family member at least one generation older than the caregiver for at least 1 mo and in the past 3 yr.

Outcomes and Measures: Items from the Burden Scale for Family Caregivers, Spirituality Scale, Expressions of Spirituality Inventory–Revised, Mental Help Seeking Attitudes Scale, and Self-Stigma of Seeking Psychological Help measured caregiver burden, spirituality, and mental health help-seeking attitudes.

Results: A statistically significant negative correlation was found between caregiver burden and spirituality and between caregiver burden and mental health help-seeking attitudes. Spirituality and number of domains of care were statistically significant predictors of caregiver burden.

Conclusions and Relevance: Spirituality was found to negatively predict caregiver burden among Asian-American intergenerational caregivers. Mental health help-seeking attitudes were negatively correlated with caregiver burden. Occupational therapy practitioners have the opportunity to integrate spirituality and culturally sensitive mental health promotion into their services to Asian-Americans.

What This Article Adds: Evidence that spirituality is a negative predictor of caregiver burden for Asian-American intergenerational caregivers offers a unique opportunity for occupational therapy practitioners to offer alternative methods of mental health promotion with this population. Understanding that spirituality and mental health help-seeking attitudes are culturally mediated allows practitioners to be informed about a dynamic in Asian-American culture.
Inflammation and autoimmunity in atherosclerosis
Authors: Surma Stanislaw , Filipiak Krzysztof J.
Published: February 2022

Atherosclerosis is a process whose onset can be observed even in the foetal period. A number of risk factors, such as hyperlipidaemia, hyperhomocysteinaemia, arterial hypertension, hyperuricaemia, smoking, metabolic syndrome, hypertriglyceridaemia, and diabetes, accelerate the progression of atherosclerotic lesions leading to the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) [1].

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is defined as coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, or peripheral arterial disease of atherosclerotic origin. This disease represents the number one cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The number of patients with cardiovascular diseases in the world in 2019 was 523 million, while the number of deaths due to them reached 18.6 million [2].

Authors: Haq Anwar Ul , Rizvi Syed Tahir , Shah Tazeem Ali , Dastgir Ghulam
Published: February 2022

In its pursuit of resources the developed world needs to invest in not only infrastructure development in developing countries but also in management trainings. This study aims to empirically investigate the links of three dimensions of organizational resource availability with transfer of leadership training through trainee motivation to transfer. It further investigates the positive moderated mediation effects of employee core self-evaluation on these relations in developing world context. The study used a cross sectional quantitative design to study the transfer of training. Survey method was adopted to collect data in three-time waves for the study and Hayes' PROCESS tool and AMOS plug-ins were used for testing the hypothesized relationships. Moreover, data were collected using self-reported questionnaires, most of which have been widely validated, from participants belonging to power sector organization in Pakistan. The findings of the study affirmed all the hypotheses in conceptualized directions.Using transfer of skills as context and individual as a unit of real progress and growth, the study philosophizes a much broader perspective of human social development beyond leadership development in developing countries. With the help of Goal Setting theory, the paper builds a case for HRD professionals in developing world to focus their trainings in developing core self-evaluations in employees and leaders alike. The study proposes the poor nations to be confidant on their self-resources and the rich of the world to have higher goals of helping the poor nations in achieving their own goals.

HOW GLOBAL IS YOUR BUSINESS SCHOOL? – THE 3 PS OF INTERNATIONALIZATION: PROGRAMS, PARTICIPANTS AND PURPOSE
Authors: Annavarjula Madan , Trifts Jack , Ramirez Andres
Published: February 2022

In this paper, we introduce a three-factor framework that can be used to evaluate the internationality of universities offering international business by focusing on their programs, participants, and purpose. We illustrate how a prospective American student, and her parents could use the framework by applying it to four U.S. based business schools with international business programs, two large public schools and two smaller private schools. We argue that the framework may also be used by administrators and accreditors evaluating the institution from within. We gather our information from publicly available sources. We find that programs vary widely, both in depth and breath. Prospective students could use our framework to select the school that best fits their goals and skills. One ancillary finding is that the lack of transparency by most institutions makes gathering relevant information difficult.

Abstract The process of residential administration services to the community at the head of the village office is generally still done manually. Applicants should come to the head of the village office to find out the service procedures, queue up in service, so that the service process takes time that often exceeds the maximum set time standard. Uncertainty over the completion of delayed services on subsequent days is also frequent due to lack of mechanisms to monitor progress of service completion. Service officers also can not flexibly work in providing services because they have to be in place and time that has been set. This research develops a model of integrated Web-based public service system application at kelurahan office, using R & D research and development method, which is implementing some part of development method of SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) Software.

Abstract. It is well known that the polar cap, delineated by the Open Closed field line Boundary (OCB), responds to changes in the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF). In general, the boundary moves equatorward when the IMF turns southward and contracts poleward when the IMF turns northward. However, observations of the OCB are spotty and limited in local time, making more detailed studies of its IMF dependence difficult. Here, we simulate five solar storm periods with the coupled model consisting of the Open Geospace General Circulation model (OpenGGCM) coupled with Coupled Thermosphere Ionosphere Model (CTIM) and the Rice Convection Model (RCM), i.e., the OpenGGCM-CTIM-RCM model, to estimate the location and dynamics of the OCB. For these events, polar cap boundary location observations are also obtained from Defense-Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) precipitation spectrograms and compared with the model output. There is a large scatter in the DMSP observations and in the model output. However, we generally find good agreement between the model and the observations. On average, the model overestimates the latitude of the open-closed field line boundary by 1.61 degrees. Additional analysis of the simulated polar cap boundary dynamics across all local times shows that the MLT of the largest polar cap expansion closely correlates with the IMF clock angle; that the strongest correlation occurs when the IMF is southward; that during strong southward IMF the polar cap shifts sunward; and that the polar cap rapidly contracts at all local times when the IMF turns northward.

Abstract. Amino acids (AAs) mainly bound in proteins are major constituents of living
biomass and non-living organic material in the oceanic particulate and
dissolved organic matter pool. Uptake and cycling by heterotrophic organisms
lead to characteristic changes in AA composition so that AA-based
biogeochemical indicators are often used to elucidate processes of organic
matter cycling and degradation. We analyzed particulate AA in a large sample
set collected in various oceanic regions covering sinking and suspended
particles in the water column, sediment samples, and dissolved AA from
water column and pore water samples. The aim of this study was to test and
improve the use of AA-derived biogeochemical indicators as proxies for
organic matter sources and degradation and to better understand particle
dynamics and interaction between the dissolved and particulate organic
matter pools. A principal component analysis (PCA) of all data delineates
diverging AA compositions of sinking and suspended particles with increasing
water depth. A new sinking particle and sediment degradation indicator (SDI)
allows a fine-tuned classification of sinking particles and sediments with
respect to the intensity of degradation, which is associated with changes of
stable isotopic ratios of nitrogen (δ15N). This new indicator
is furthermore sensitive to sedimentary redox conditions and can be used to
detect past anoxic early diagenesis. A second indicator emerges from the AA
spectra of suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the epipelagic and that of
the meso- and bathypelagic ocean and is a residence time indicator (RTI).
The characteristic changes in AA patterns from shallow to deep SPM are
recapitulated in the AA spectra of the dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool,
so that deep SPM is more similar to DOM than to any of the other organic
matter pools. This implies that there is equilibration between finely
dispersed SPM and DOM in the deep sea, which may be driven by microbial
activity combined with annealing and fragmentation of gels. As these
processes strongly depend on physico-chemical conditions in the deep ocean,
changes in quality and degradability of DOM may strongly affect the
relatively large pool of suspended and dissolved AA in the ocean that
amounts to 15 Pg amino acid carbon (AAC) and 89 ± 29 Pg AAC,
respectively.

AbstrakProsedur pemulihan kata sandi akun e-mail Gmail dan Yahoo dianggap menyulitkan bagi karyawan Kemuning TV, dikarenakan tidak mencantumkan nomor telepon ataupun akun lainnya. Selain itu tidak adanya standarisasi penamaan akun karyawan membuat pertanyaan apakah benar akun yang bersangkutan merupakan karyawan perusahaan. Karena itu dibutuhkan mail server tersendiri untuk mengelola akun e-mail perusahaan. Dibuatlah mail server berbasis linux menggunakan postfix admin sebagai antarmuka web untuk pengelolaan akun. Mail server ini dibangun pada VPS linux ubuntu. Postfix dan dovecot adalah aplikasi open source yang penting dalam mengirim dan menerima e-mail. Kedua aplikasi tersebut mendukung TLS untuk mengenkripsi komunikasi e-mail dan dapat diintegrasikan dengan anti virus dan anti spam seperti ClamAV dan SpamAssassin. Antarmuka web postfix admin dan webmail telah didukung oleh HTTPS. Dengan mail server menggunakan postfix admin maka pengelolaan akun e-mail oleh staf IT menjadi sangat mudah. Karyawan pun tinggal membuka webmail ataupun aplikasi e-mail smartphone untuk menerima dan mengirim e-mail tanpa batasan waktu. Sistem corporate e-mail juga meningkatkan citra, legalitas, publisitas dan profesionalitas Kemuning TV bagi pemirsa, pemerintah daerah dan pelaku bisnis di Kabupatan Karawang.

Dalam perusahaan, Helpdesk merupakan sebuah bagian atau departement yang melakukan proses untuk mengumpulkan data dari berbagai sumber yang ada dan dituntut untuk aktif melayani dan menanggapi kebutuhan pengguna. Perkembangan Helpdesk diharapkan dapat mengatasi permasalahan dan memberikan layanan terhadap seluruh permasalahan baik yang bersifat internal maupun seluruh permasalahan operasional aplikasi ataupun hal-hal yang berhubungan dengan sistem dan teknologi informasi. Helpdesk merupakan bantuan informasi yang menangani permasalahan atau troubleshooting. Sistem Helpdesk Informasi Teknologi pada PT. Panca Abadi Nan Jaya saat ini yang digunakan hanya menggunakan email, telepon dan aplikasi android yaitu what’sapp. Bila ada suatu masalah yang berkaitan dengan perangkat IT, pihak user langsung menghubungi IT melalui telepon atau what’sapp. Tetapi ada keluhan dari user apa permasalahan nya sudah di kerjakan atau belum dikerjakan, karena pihak IT terkadang lupa memberi informasi ke pihak user apakah keluhan nya sudah di kerjakan atau belum oleh pihak IT. Maka dari itu penulis mencoba merancang sistem aplikasi IT Helpdesk berbasis Web. Hasil aplikasi Helpdesk mampu mempersingkat waktu pengolahan data, mengurangi masalah human error dalam proses pencatatan data, menghasilkan laporan-laporan helpdesk dengan cepat dan akurat, serta diharapkan dapat membantu proses pengambilan keputusan perusahaan.

3.11 From One Disaster to Another: Japanâ€™s Earthquake
Authors: Coulmas Florian
Published: February 2022

This paper recounts the experience of the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake on 11th March 2011 and offers an assessment of reactions to it on personal, social and policy levels. Almost a decade after the event, it looks at traces of the disaster, discussing in particular the following questions. What were the consequences if any for Japanâ€™s energy policy? What other consequences were there, for example, concerning crisis management? How did people integrate the earthquake into their view of history? How did the earthquake affect peopleâ€™s life satisfaction? And how does it relate to current events? It argues that despite its for all concerned unprecedented severity the disaster led to gradual improvements, rather than fundamental change.
