Authors: NICA Elvira , POTCOVARU (BÎGU) Ana-Mădălina
Published: September 2024

In the last decades, an increasing attention has been given to the relationship between job satisfaction and employee motivation in the public sector. In a world of constant change and growing demands, it is crucial for public sector organizations to understand and promote a work environment that supports both employee satisfaction and motivation. This article explores this complex relationship and proposes ways in which managers and leaders in the public sector can improve job satisfaction and employee motivation. This article reviews the literature on public service motivation and job satisfaction. In the first part we conduct a brief literature review of the concepts involved. In the main part of the article, we examine 33 WoS articles on the relationship between public service motivation and job satisfaction. In the discussion section, we stress some points relevant for public management practice.
NAVIGATING THE METAVERSE: UNRAVELING ITS IMPACT ON TOURISM
Authors: Petrica Anton-Liviu
Published: September 2024

This study aims to explore the influence of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social norms and attitudes towards the use of metaverse on the behavioural intention to use Metaverse in tourism, providing valuable insights into the potential impact of metaverse on the future of the tourism industry. To assess the influence of the variables, a questionnaire was administered to 50 participants from generations X, Y and Z with a gender distribution of 54% male and 46% female participants. The survey demonstrated good internal reliability and validity. The results indicate that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and attitude have an impact on participants' behavioural intentions. However, the influence of social norms on behavioural intention was not found to be significant in this study. These results provide valuable insights into understanding the factors that influence people's behavioural intentions when using metaverses in tourism. Further studies with more refined questions and larger samples need to be conducted.

Published: September 2024

Cocoa rejuvenation is important to maintain high productivity. The rejuvenation mainly uses seedlings; thus providing high-quality seedlings is important. This research aimed to determine the effect of various doses of cow manure compost and the density of Bacillus subtilis bacteria on the growth of cocoa seedlings. The research was implemented at the Teaching Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Hasanuddin University, Makassar City, from 2021 to 2022. The experiment was arranged in a split-plot design with three replications. The main plot was the dose of cow manure (without compost, 1.25 kg per polybag, and 2.5 kg per polybag). The subplot was the density of Bacillus subtilis (without bacteria, 104 CFU.mL-1, 108 CFU.mL-1, and 1012 CFU.mL-1). The results showed an interaction between the dose of cow manure 2.5 kg per polybag and the bacterial density 1012 CFU.mL-1 on chlorophyll a (347.91 mol.m-2), chlorophyll b (158.33 mol.m-2), total chlorophyll (444.57 mol.m-2), and leaf area of cocoa seedlings (813.96 cm2). A compost dose of 2.5 kg per polybag showed the best results for plant height (8.98 cm).

Characteristics and Emerging Trends in International City Negotiations
Authors: Kolykhalov M. I.
Published: September 2024

The article examines key features, main directions, and current trends in international negotiations between subnational territorial units using the example of cities. In today’s world, where the global political system is undergoing epochal change, the international activities of non-governmental and subnational actors, including their participation in international negotiations, have intensified. One of the key features of international city negotiations is that they occur mainly in a multilevel and multilateral format. This is due to the hybrid nature of cities, which are both state and non-state entities. The balance of power between cities and states in international relations depends on factors such as the degree of autonomy granted to sub-national units by the central government, as well as the level of economic and political influence held by cities. Sometimes, the position of a city may differ significantly from that of the state it belongs to. At the international level, there are several specialized institutions and mechanisms that allow cities to coordinate their positions and develop common approaches. These include the World Association of United Cities and Local Authorities, the World Assembly of Local and Regional Authorities, and the Metropolis Association. The main topics of today’s multilateral negotiations between cities include combating climate change, ensuring protection from natural disasters, promoting the rights of migrants and other displaced people, and fostering innovation in urban environment and governance. In contrast, bilateral negotiations between cities, based on the institution of sister cities, focus more on the humanitarian, scientific, educational, and cultural spheres of cooperation. Finally, current trends in international city negotiations include the increasing use of digital technologies and the geographical reorientation of Russian cities’ partnerships towards the countries of the “global majority.”
Impact of Affordability on Urban Thermal Comfort: a Thermal Analysis of the Center of Gurupi-TO
Authors: Dias Marcos Antonio Negreiros , Lentine Ana Carolina Dualibe Murici , Gonçalves André Luiz , Fortes Rodrigo Araújo , Pereira Ludmilla Morais , Santos André Ferreira dos
Published: September 2024

Objective: Investigate the differences in temperature and relative humidity at different points in the central region of Gurupi-To, with the aim of understanding the impact of urban afforestation on the local temperature and humidity of the city, based on the difference in existing tree vegetation.
 
Theoretical Framework: It is based on concepts of phytosociology and urban afforestation, highlighting that the uncontrolled growth of cities causes environmental damage that impacts people's lives. Thus, the increase in temperature results from climate change and is affected by the artificial built environment due to the difference in construction materials and vegetation. Urban afforestation is a means to mitigate this issue and improve the microclimate.
 
Method: The methodology adopted for this research includes fieldwork with the collection of temperature and air humidity data, using the Datalogger device, model GGL-20, between March and April 2021. The comparison was conducted through graphical representation of variance (ANOVA), based on T-test analysis, using the R Studio software.
 
Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed that among the points studied, the area with the most vegetation showed lower temperatures and better humidity levels in locations with more urban afforestation. This is due to the vegetative cover, as trees provide shade and contribute to evapotranspiration, a physiological process that positively impacts the improvement of temperature and air humidity factors.
 
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing results that influence conservation practices and the sustainable management of urban afforestation.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by presenting a practical investigation into the influence of urban afforestation on temperature and air humidity in cities located in the Cerrado biome, with a focus on Gurupi-TO. It highlights the importance of conservation and management of urban afforestation in urban areas. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by the data and the proposed strategies, which aim to demonstrate the importance of expanding urban afforestation in city centers as a mechanism for controlling the microclimate, particularly temperature and air humidity.
Industry 4.0 and Sustainability: Analysis of Impacts and Proposed Guidelines
Authors: Delanhese Bruna Cristina do Nascimento Silva , Falsarella Orandi Mina , Conti Diego de Melo , Julião Nilton Lucio
Published: September 2024

Objective: To survey the impacts of implementing new technologies with the Industry 4.0 concept in a large building materials and related products company and propose sustainable guidelines to minimize negative impacts.
 
Theoretical Framework: Industry 4.0 technologies provide improvements in the product manufacturing process and industry performance through the use of data, but it is necessary to consider the integration of business with social, environmental and governance issues.
 
Method: The methodological approach is a single case study, qualitative in nature, applied and exploratory in purpose. In developing the method, a list of impacts caused by the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies was created from the theoretical framework, which gave rise to a questionnaire applied to the building materials and related products company by means of a field survey.
 
Results and Discussion: 11 impacts were “observed” by the interviewee, 45 impacts, i.e. the majority of them, were classified as “not observed” and 10 impacts were considered to be “not applicable” to existing technologies due to the fact that the company is a retailer. After analyzing the impacts, sustainable guidelines were suggested for each negative impact.
 
Research Implications: It can be concluded that in most of the literature searched, the economic pillar of sustainability was the most commonly found, thus highlighting the lack of analysis focused on environmental and social issues in the implementation of Industry 4.0 technology in the building materials industry.
 
Originality/Value: It was observed that with regard to sustainability, the building materials and related products company has several very important practices, however, no studies applied to other companies were found in the scientific literature, a fact that makes the proposed work very important.
Acute Sleep Deprivation and Cerebral and Skeletal Muscle Oxygenation: A Review and Future Directions
Authors: Rosenblood Rayna
Published: September 2024

Cerebral and skeletal muscle oxygenation are critical research areas for understanding blood flow and oxygen delivery during various physiological states, including cognitive tasks and exercise. Measuring oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin through functional near-infrared spectrometry (fNIRS) enables non-invasive assessment of cerebral and skeletal muscle oxygenation. Research using fNIRS to explore oxygenation after sleep deprivation (SD) is limited and often contradictory. We reviewed how SD affects cerebral and muscle oxygenation as part of a broader review of how SD affects exercise through altered physiologic and perceptual responses. Herein, we consolidate existing knowledge, identify gaps, and suggest directions for future investigation.
A comprehensive literature review was conducted via predefined search parameters using PubMed and Google Scholar, focusing on studies that employed fNIRS to measure cerebral and/or skeletal muscle oxygenation in humans after SD (total or partial) or in individuals with chronically fragmented sleep due to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Select studies report increased cerebral oxygenation post-SD, potentially due to compensatory mechanisms and increased brain activity. Contrarily, several studies indicate decreased cerebral oxygenation following SD, potentially due to impaired endothelial function, cortical neurovascular coupling, suppressed brain activity, or decreased oxygen consumption. Cerebral oxygenation may be associated with perceived exertion, suggesting meaningful links to exercise. Interestingly, exercise training may mitigate the effects of SD on oxygenation. The only study investigating skeletal muscle oxygenation with regards to sleep status found a lower tissue saturation index in OSA participants compared to controls, though hemoglobin parameters did not differ.
The effect of SD on oxygenation remains equivocal, with no studies fully elucidating the mechanisms underlying these changes. This review is the foundation for an ongoing prospective study investigating the impact of acute SD on exercise capacity and fNIRS-derived cerebral and skeletal muscle oxygenation, with two participants enrolled to date and interim analyses planned at n=5 participants.
NaNbO3 Nanocubes: Perovskite Catalysts for Methanol Polymerization
Authors: Chan Howard
Published: September 2024

Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (PODEs) are a class of oxygenated fuels with promising applications in energy production and emission reduction. They are often utilized as a diesel fuel additive or substitute, which reduces the formation of harmful emissions such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), soot, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon monoxide (CO). The oxidative polymerization of methanol presents a promising route for the formation of PODEs. NaNbO3, a type of perovskite oxide, was synthesized with a well-defined nanocubic structure through solvothermal synthesis using a Nb2O5 precursor. The catalytic potential of both the NaNbO3 nanocubes and the well-studied Nb2O5 precursor was assessed for the oxidative polymerization of methanol into PODEs. NaNbO­3 demonstrated catalytic performance comparable to Nb2O5 as both catalysts produced formaldehyde and dimethyl ether, which are precursors to PODE. Powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area confirmed the crystalline nature and desired cubic morphology of the NaNbO3 nanocubes. Additionally, Nb2O5 precursors with an orthorhombic, as opposed to a monoclinic or hexagonal crystal system were determined to produce NaNbO3 nanocubes successfully. Effective shape control of the NaNbO3 nanocubes makes this catalyst an intriguing material to understand and apply in heterogenous catalysis.
Social and Emotional Learning as Experienced by Students in Undergraduate General Chemistry Labs
Authors: Leger Belamie , Schechtel Shauna
Published: September 2024

Students can meticulously perform laboratory techniques and be proficient in writing lab reports yet report negative affective experiences within the chemistry teaching labs. This study addresses this contradiction by studying students’ experiences using a Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) framework to qualitatively and deductively analyze semi-structured student interviews (N=15). The interviews followed the students’ completion of introductory chemistry and focused on their experiences with the laboratories. What emerged from this analysis were the SEL competencies intertwining with all aspects of the teaching labs as students worked with their lab partners, peers, and teaching assistants. The labs provide a unique environment for students to apply their SEL skills, including effective relationship and self-management skills. Despite students using and relying on their SEL skills, they are not always supported in lab design, and this presents a barrier to student success and a positive learning experience associated with the teaching labs. Given this, there is a need to change chemistry laboratory teaching practices and curricula to emphasize support and learning outcomes related to SEL. These findings were used to implement changes to the first-year labs to support SEL competencies, such as designing and implementing a TA manual, providing students with tips for dividing lab procedures, and offering more resources including rubrics.
The Influence of Social Context on Adolescents’ use of Prototypical Facial Expressions
Authors: Wong Sarah , Nault Daniel
Published: September 2024

Adolescents’ social behaviour varies by social context (e.g., who they are with); they might ‘play it cool’ with peers while displaying vulnerability with caregivers. Yet, the way in which social context affects teenagers’ nonverbal expression is unknown. The current study addresses this knowledge gap by examining how  teenagers’ facial expressions differs when discussing emotionally charged topics with a friend vs. with a caregiver. 
Thirty-one 11 to 16-year-old participants engaged in two separate conversations, with their caregiver and  friend, respectively (social context). Within each context, they spoke about emotionally charged topics (happy vs angry) of their choosing (emotional type). Facial analysis software (iMotions) was employed to quantify the prototypicality of angry and happy facial expressions.      
Two separate within-subject factorial (2x2) ANOVAs were conducted to assess the effect of social context and emotional type on the prototypicality of happy and angry facial expressions. There was a significant main effect of social context on prototypical facial cues of anger (F(1, 30) = 5.45, p = .026) with adolescents exhibiting more prototypical angry expressions with their friends than with their caregivers. Moreover, there was a significant main effect of emotional type on prototypical facial cues of happiness (F(1, 30) = 4.72, p = .038) with adolescents displaying more prototypical happy facial expressions when discussing happy topics compared to angry topics. No other effects were significant. The above main effects were rendered non-significant after accounting for sex assigned at birth and age. As the current study is ongoing, the next steps will be to increase our sample size to boost statistical power and to investigate whether the change in non-verbal encoding we observe across social context relates to teens' socio-emotional functioning. With these results, we can better support teenagers in their emotional expression to foster relationship formation and social success throughout adolescence.
‘Sex ed’ exemptions in Ontario schools
Authors: Martin Corey
Published: September 2024

This project explores how ‘sex ed’ exemptions are being enacted in Ontario classrooms. In August 2019, the Ministry of Education issued Policy/Program Memorandum 162, requiring Ontario school boards to have a policy or procedure allowing Grade 1-8 students to be exempted from Human Development and Sexual Health curriculum expectations at their parents' request. However, rather than limiting exemptions to formal lessons in the HDSH expectations of elementary Health and Physical Education, many teachers believe that they must exempt students from any conversation, formal or not, involving 2SLGBTQ+ topics. This has the potential to further stigmatize queer identities, as well as related topics and discussions. This research is also connected the conversation of how much sway “parental rights” have in the classroom. The first stage of this project has involved collecting exemption policy documents and board exemption forms, along with tracking how findable these documents are. As of today, 56 boards appear to have responded to PPM 162, either by passing a new policy or revising an existing one. Only 41% of school boards have a description of their exemption process available through Google search, while 30% of boards do not have their process available online at all. Unfortunately, problematic organizations like Parents as First Educators and Canadian Gender Report—both of which publish ‘resources’ claiming that parents have the right to exempt their children from all content about gender and sexual diversity—have materials which appear easily on Google search, sometimes even before authorized school board pages. If school boards do not have official exemption processes and forms readily available online, it is possible that parents will turn to these problematic documents instead. These gaps in the online availability of official board information may contribute to the dangerous misunderstandings present in how ‘sex ed’ exemptions are handled in Ontario schools.
2D Path Following Control of Motor Graders
Authors: Beca Anthony
Published: September 2024

Optimal ground conditions in mining are crucial for operational efficiency and safety. Motor graders play a crucial role in achieving precise grading of passages; however, unlike many other mining vehicles, they have not yet been commercially automated. The redundant kinematics of motor graders, including articulation, front axle steering, and blade operations, pose significant challenges for automation. This research explores path following with a 2D kinematic model of motor graders and uses simulation to evaluate and compare the performance of these controllers in terms of step response and operational effectiveness.
To address kinematic redundancy, two methods are proposed: Rear Offset Control, which defines the articulation angle using a lateral offset between the front and rear axles, and Single Track Control, which utilizes steering redundancy to adapt existing automation approaches to articulated vehicles. 
Simulation tests were conducted using two controllers: a Feedback Linearized PD controller (FBL+PD) and a Feedback Linearized Model Predictive Controller (FBL+MPC). Both were tuned for optimal performance on a step input path, with performance assessed based on Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and control effort.
This work introduces two methodologies—Rear Offset Control and Single Track Control—for autonomous motor grader operation. These were implemented with FBL+PD and FBL+MPC controllers on a 2D kinematic model. Future research will focus on dynamic modeling, implementing a Non-Linear Model-Predictive Controller, refining tuning methodologies for Feedback Linearized systems, and integrating these approaches with live vehicles.
Optimizing Hospice Care: A Scoping Review of Staffing Strategies to Enhance Practice
Authors: Patel Vidhi
Published: September 2024

Background 
Investigating hospice staffing models is vital for ensuring patient-centered care by aligning workforce capabilities with evolving patient needs. With the opening of the Hospice Residence at Providence Care Hospital, effective staffing can enhance operational efficiency, staff well-being, retention, and elevate the quality of end-of-life care. 
Objective:  
The primary objective is to investigate models of hospice care, staffing characteristics across disciplines, staff qualifications, training and operational metrics.  
Methods 
A comprehensive search of academic literature was conducted using MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Embase, following the PRISMA-ScR framework. The review focused on hospice care for adults, covering staffing and care models. Studies on general palliative care, pediatric/NICU care, non-full-text studies, and those published before 2013 were excluded. A grey literature search was also performed. 
Results 
Out of 1,579 imported studies, 1,082 were screened, 260 full texts reviewed, and 51 met inclusion criteria. Published between 2013 and 2024, the studies were conducted in North America, Europe, and Asia, covering various designs including randomized control trials, observational, qualitative, and mixed-methods. Patient populations included terminally ill individuals with diagnoses such as cancer, COPD, and heart failure. The majority of studies examined inpatient hospices. Facility sizes ranged from 6 to 33 beds (median = 16). Key topics included staffing models, staff-to-patient ratios, training, volunteer roles, care delivery, and patient satisfaction, with common ratios being 5.5:1 to 6.5:1 for physicians and 1.5:1 to 2.7:1 for nurses. Hospice staff included physicians, nurses, aides, social workers, spiritual care providers, and volunteers, with training ranging from specialized education to minimal instruction. 
Conclusion 
Understanding staffing strategies is crucial for hospices to meet growing demand and patient complexity. This review emphasizes optimal staff-to-patient ratios, diverse care models, and the vital role of volunteers. Further research is needed to establish best practices for sustainable, high-quality hospice care.

Taxing Composite Transactions
Authors: Cauble Emily
Published: September 2024

In a variety of contexts, taxpayers engage in composite transactions—essentially two transactions in one. For instance, when an individual sells property for less than its fair market value to a friend or relative, the transaction involves a sale and a gift. As another example, from time to time, retailers run promotions offering to rebate the price of merchandise if a team wins a sporting event. A buyer of the merchandise, effectively, makes a purchase and also places a bet on the sporting event’s outcome.

Tax law’s treatment of composite transactions is not uniform. In some contexts tax law fully bifurcates these transactions into their separate components. Under this bifurcated approach, a taxpayer who engages in a composite transaction receives the same tax treatment as a taxpayer who goes through the motions of engaging in the component transactions separately. In other contexts, tax law adopts a collapsed approach under which taxpayers obtain markedly different tax treatment by engaging in a composite transaction instead of carrying out the components as separate transactions. In other contexts, tax law employs a hybrid approach that partially disentangles a composite transaction into its separate components but, nonetheless, bestows upon the composite transaction tax treatment that is not identical to what follows from engaging in the components as separate transactions. In addition to the existing approaches to composite transactions, other hypothetical approaches are possible.

Each existing approach and each conceivable alternative offers various advantages and disadvantages when judged in terms of the approach’s propensity to reduce tax revenue, the approach’s tendency to trap unwary taxpayers while benefiting well-advised taxpayers, the likelihood that the approach will prompt taxpayers to alter their transactions for tax reasons, and the administrability of the approach.

This Article undertakes an examination of composite transactions, evaluating advantages and disadvantages of different approaches. In addition, this Article presents new survey results that shed light on the counterintuitive nature of current law.
“Glória a Deus!” – sobre o input que vem de fora
Authors: Perini-Santos Pedro
Published: September 2024

Este artigo discorre sobre a aquisição de expressões religiosas que não foram direcionadas para a criança, mas que são por ela usadas. Sustenta-se a hipótese que as crianças aprendem palavras e expressões que não ocorrem durante os diálogos com seus pais, mas em contextos de interação dialógica mais abrangentes. Em função dessa constatação, propõe-se a ampliação da extensão do input nas interações conversacionais. Com tal objetivo, serão expostos dados provenientes de um corpus oral longitudinal naturalístico coletado junto a uma família monolíngue falante do Português do Brasil constituída por mãe, avó e filho. Esta pesquisa assume os princípios da abordagem interacionista que pautam a significativa importância dos diálogos na aquisição da língua materna.
Entre faits de langue et effets dans le discours : le langage de l’enfant
Authors: Figueira Rosa Attié
Published: September 2024

Après une brève rétrospective de mon travail dans le domaine de l’acquisition du langage, la contribution à ce dossier consistera à présenter un certain nombre de trouvailles d’enfants brésiliens (âgés de 2 à 5-6 ans), auxquelles nous ajouterons quelques éléments et données relatives à l’acquisition du français (Aimard 1975). Les épisodes qu’on analyse ont été enregistrés dans un contexte familier, la plupart à partir de notations de journaux. Ils attirent l'attention du fait de leurs caractéristiques particulièrement divergentes de l’usage adulte, et il est souvent possible de constater un effet de surprise, d'étrangeté, voire de rire chez le destinataire. L’analyse cherche alors à valoriser la singularité de la parole de l’enfant, ses vicissitudes du point de vue du dictum et du dire, ce qui nous permet de parler d’une certaine asymétrie dans les dialogues. Dans la description de extraits sélectionnés on considère les faits de langue et leurs effets dans le discours, dans le cadre de la réflexion de De Lemos (2002). Sans perdre de vue des aspects du fonctionnement de la langue, on se sert de l’appareil théorique saussurien, aussi bien que des principes de la pragmatique (Grice, Austin, Ducrot), tout en cherchant à reconstituer ainsi le parcours de l’enfant avec la langue maternelle.

Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE: The Academy of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy of the American Physical Therapy Association’s clinical practice guideline recommendations provide a foundation for clinicians’ musculoskeletal care. Some patients’ presenting clinical findings suggest conditions that would benefit from medical or surgical evaluation and management. Guidelines are not available that direct this referral.

DESIGN: This practice description directs the development of guidelines for clinicians working as first provider musculoskeletal practitioners on the diagnostic criteria for referring clients for medical or surgical management.

METHODS: The foundational step in developing these guidelines is to identify the conditions that first provider musculoskeletal practitioners are likely to encounter during clinical practice. This study used standard practice analysis methodology to identify and describe these conditions.

RESULTS/CONCLUSION: The ensuing clinical practice guideline, based on systematic methods to evaluate and classify evidence, will provide graded recommendations on the criteria to identify, level of confidence with identifying, and urgency for referring patients, with the conditions described in this practice analysis, for medical and surgical evaluation and management.

Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE: To determine the agreement between a two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) video capture system and between multiple raters during a single-leg drop landing task.

DESIGN: Cross-sectional observational study.

METHODS: Single-leg drop landing trials of 23 males (n = 12) and females (n = 11) were recorded using the 2D and 3D systems. Reliability and agreement were quantified through intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC2, k), standard error of the measurement (SEM), and Bland-Altman plots. Analysis of variance assessed systematic error between the 2D raters and 3D system.

RESULTS: A 1-way analysis of variance on 35 drop-landing trials across raters detected a difference across the 3 estimates of knee flexion range of motion ( P<.001) where rater 1 did not differ (mean difference ± standard error: 1.15° ± 0.48°, P = .54) from the 3D system, rater 2 > 3D system (3.30° ± 0.76°, P<.001), and raters 1 and 2 differed (2.14° ± 0.82°, P = .04). There was high reliability between the two 2D raters (ICC2, k = .89, SEM = 3.44°). Rater 1 completed analyses on 87 additional trials (total n = 117) and was comparable to the 3D system (0.87° ± 0.47°, P = .06; ICC2, k = .90; SEM = 3.52°).

CONCLUSION: Two-dimensional video analysis can be used in a clinical setting where 3D capture of movement mechanics is not feasible. JOSPT Open 2025;3(1):69-76. Epub 10 September 2024. doi:10.2519/josptopen.2024.0051

After obtaining ethical clearance from the IEC of our college, this project was carried out. A core team of 5 faculty members was formed. Forty students were enrolled for this project on a voluntary basis. The project involved mentors from multiple departments who had experience in carrying out research projects. A total of 13 faculty members were involved. The core team prepared a module for training undergraduate medical students in research skills. It was validated by the subject’s experts outside the medical college. The training program consisted of 20 classes followed by 10 assignments, during which the students completed their research projects. The students were divided into groups of four, and each group took on one project (a total of ten projects). The training methodology included lectures, individual work, and a plenary session. We planned the evaluation of this training by multiple means. The research projects were graded by three reviewers, who were the faculty members assigned to the task of reviewers. In the end, pre and post-retrospective feedback questionnaires were filled out by students.

Results:

All 40 students, working in ten groups, submitted their projects (ten projects). Among these research projects, there were seven descriptive studies, two observational studies, and one interventional study. The average self-rating (on a 10-point scale) of skills in conducting research projects by participants went from 3.8 in pre-training to 8.5 in post-training on the retrospective pre-post questionnaire. The average score (out of 90) on structured research project evaluation by two external experts was 58.5. As evident from the quantitative and qualitative data, the participants gained maximum skills in choosing an appropriate title for the project, choosing study participants, preparing a data collection tool, and dealing with ethical issues. About 62.5% of participants rated the overall quality of training as excellent, and 100% of students recommended continuing training for the next batches.

Conclusion:

Undergraduate students can be taught skills of performing research through research projects under mentorship, along with interactive sessions on research methodology.
An Efficient Method for Calculating Hysteretic Dry Friction Response of Dynamic Systems Subjected to Combined Harmonic and Random Excitation.
Authors: Hickey John , Butlin Tore
Published: September 2024

Many examples of dynamic analysis require modelling of dry friction. Often this is represented by a so-called Jenkins element or multiple Jenkins elements in parallel, which is sometimes termed a parallel-series Iwan element. This study considers the case where a system that includes these representations of dry friction are loaded dynamically with a combination of deterministic harmonic and random excitation. This paper presents a new efficient method for predicting the response of systems subject to combined deterministic and random excitation. The method is based on equivalent linearisation and involves averaging across both an ensemble of random responses as well as over a harmonic excitation period. The key novelty in the approach is the use of an auxiliary harmonic term to facilitate an analytical representation of the nonlinear force. This overcomes the challenge of analysing a discontinuous hysteretic nonlinearity in the presence of random excitation. Analytical solutions are presented and it is shown that the proposed approach can predict the approximate response at a significantly reduced computational cost.

В статье рассматриваются проблемы экономики субъектов Северо-Кавказского федерального округа с конца февраля по октябрь 2022 г. – реакция экономики макрорегиона на санкции, введенные против Российской Федерации странами западного мира. В качестве метода исследования использован качественный контент-анализ. Изучение статистических данных, безусловно, позволяет делать выводы о состоянии экономики, однако анализ социальных сетей, блогосферы, Интернет-СМИ дают понимание о настроении населения, о самых болезненных и важных для населения темах и проблемах. Проведенный анализ показывает, что позитивными сферами экономики субъектов СКФО являются сфера туризма и сельскохозяйственное производство. Основными же проблемами являются низкие доходы населения, безработица и нехватка рабочих мест, а также недоверие к управленческим структурам на всех уровнях.

ПРЕИМУЩЕСТВА И НЕДОСТАТКИ ЦИФРОВЫХ ДЕНЕГ
Authors: Бисултанова А.А.
Published: September 2024

Статья посвящена проблемам обращения криптоактивов. В связи с удобством и прозрачностью использования криптоактивы начинают привлекать все больше и больше пользователей. Однако автор отмечает тот высокий риск, который угрожает всем участникам криптобиржи. Актуальность исследования вызвана прежде всего возрастающими противоречиями между увеличивающейся вниманием к цифровым валютам со стороны пользователей и практически полностью отсутствующим правовым регулированием ее обращения. Несмотря на то, что цифровые деньги появились относительно недавно, они стремительно обрели популярность. Рост популярности связан прежде всего с теми очевидными преимуществами, которые сулит использование цифровых денег в обращении. Прежде всего росту популярности способствует простота в использовании, доступность, безопасность проведения сделок. Криптовалюта-одна из разновидностей цифровых денег, ее специфика заключается в том, что она основана на технологии блокчейн, то есть распределенного реестра данных, которые в свою очередь базируются на криптологических методах защиты. Сама криптовалюта является следствием цифровой трансформации экономики.

Authors: Раменская Л.А. , Воронов Д.С.
Published: September 2024

Основная идея исследования состоит в выявлении особенностей развития управления проектами посредством анализа профессиональных стандартов, вышедших в течение определенного периода времени. В работе анализируются основные этапы развития профессиональных стандартов, а также предпосылки появления стандартов «новой волны». В статье определены тренды профессионального проектного управления, выделенные на основе анализа текстов профессиональных стандартов. К их числу относятся: констатация множественности подходов к управлению проектами, отход от описания процессов в пользу описания ключевых принципов и практик управления, рост значимости окружения проекта, увеличение влияния и сферы ответственности руководителя проекта, рост значимости высокоуровневого (стратегического) управления проектами. Каждая из выделенных характерных черт подтверждается примерами из текстов профессиональных стандартов. В заключении обобщены сильные и слабые стороны рассматриваемых профессиональных стандартов управления проектами.

Статья содержит подробный обзор направлений формирования и развития экосистемных отношений в сфере у слуг на рынке жилой недвижимости с учетом текущих глобальных изменений, мировых практик и отечественного опыта. Автором предложена алгоритмическая последовательность оценки современного уровня развития региональной экосистемы по существующим срезам международных связей нашей страны и мировых тенденций, касающихся жилищного хозяйства в условиях глобальной перестройки. Ключевыми блоками оценки выступили тезисы Президента РФ В.В. Путина, озвученные на площадке ПМЭФ-2022, отражающие основные принципы долгосрочного экономического развития. В статье отмечена особая роль государства в повышении уровня национальной безопасности и внутренней стабильности в целях дальнейшего динамичного наращения экономического потенциала. Выделено, что удовлетворение базовой потребности населения в доступном жилье выступает ключевым критерием эффективности национальной политики. Современные тенденции выражаются в запросе потребителя не только на качественное инновационное жилье, но и на комфортное инфраструктурное окружение (проекты «умный город», «пятнадцатиминутный город» и др.), способствуя формированию новых центров экономического развития на пустующих или удаленных территориях. Мировой опыт, международное научно-практическое сотрудничество, применение государственных программ в области жилищной политики, развитие территорий, повышение уровня благосостояния и конкурентоспособности регионов, инвестиционная проектная активность в строительной сфере и сфере услуг, цифровизация кооперационных связей государства, бизнеса и населения и др. представляют собой ключевые горизонтальные и вертикальные связи существующей экосистемы сферы услуг на рынке жилой недвижимости, а их динамичное развитие укрепляет национальную безопасность нашей страны, способствует стабилизации экономики и преодолению глобальных кризисов.
