Firms-Specific Sustainability Reporting among Johannesburg Stock Exchange Listed Companies: Do IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 Matter?
Authors: Chonco Celumusa Makepeace , Mvunabandi Jean Damascene
Published: December 2024

This study investigates whether the ISSB sustainability requirements are going to result in a major change in terms of ESG disclosures among the JSE-listed companies. Quantitative content analysis employed. It was underpinned by the positivist paradigm. Secondary data was gathered from the sustainability reports of the top 40 JSE-listed companies based on their market capitalization. Reports spanning 2022-2023. Robustness analysis was entirely performed using descriptive statistics with the aid of STATA. Results reveal that the level of sustainability-related disclosure is not significantly different from ISSB requirements prior to the effective date of IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 (M = 67%). Furthermore, there is an 81% level of disclosure on governance, 43% level of disclosure on strategy, 100% level of disclosure on risk management, and 93% level of disclosure on metrics and targets. This indicates that these companies require more work on strategy to align themselves with ISSB requirements. The study results can aid policymakers, accounting bodies, and regulators in understanding sustainability-related disclosures, harmonizing frameworks, and providing a robust research agenda for future research.
A comparative Research on the Effect of Executive Ownership and the Characteristics of Boards on the Financial Results of companies
Authors: Rehman Basit
Published: December 2024

Purpose- This study aims to examine the impact of executive ownership and board characteristics—including size, independence, audit committee structure, and CEO family affiliation—on the financial performance (ROA/ROE) of companies listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). It also seeks to explore how these governance factors influence the financial results of both financial and non-financial companies.
Study Design/Methodology/Approach - The study employs panel data, which includes both cross-sectional and time-series features, drawn from 30 financial companies over the period from 2010 to 2023, as well as the annual reports of 266 out of 375 listed companies. Data analysis is conducted using multiple regression and fixed effects techniques for both types of companies. Control variables include leverage and cash ratio for non-financial companies and firm size for financial companies, chosen due to their potential impact on financial performance.
Findings- The research findings reveal that executive ownership and board characteristics have a significant impact on the performance of non-financial companies. Additionally, the study indicates that the influence of executive ownership and board characteristics on financial performance varies across different types of companies, with financial companies showing minimal variation due to corporate governance practices.
Research Implications- The findings suggest that non-financial companies should emphasize corporate governance practices to enhance their financial performance. This has implications for policymakers, regulators, and company management, emphasizing the need for robust governance frameworks to improve company outcomes.
Originality/Novelty- This study contributes to the literature by providing insights into the relationship between executive ownership, board characteristics, and financial performance in the context of the Pakistan Stock Exchange. It offers a comparative analysis of the effects on financial and non-financial companies, filling a gap in understanding how corporate governance impacts different types of firms.

Introduction: Healthy meat products can be formulated with plant-based ingredients to replace fat, colorants, salt and nitrites.
Objective: To evaluate Bustamante (B) and Rayones (R) walnut paste as a substitute for pork fat in Frankfurter sausage by emulsion stability, pH, colorimetry, water holding capacity (WHC), composition, texture and sensory properties.
Methodology: Five treatments were studied: T0 (control: 100 % backfat), T1 (65 % backfat and 35 % B walnut paste), T2 (30 % backfat and 70 % B walnut paste), T3 (65 % backfat and 35 % R walnut paste) and T4 (30 % backfat and 70 % R walnut paste).
Results: T3 had the highest total fat exudated (P ≤ 0.05). WHC and pH increased significantly from T1 to T4. Pinkness and yellowness increased in all treatments except T0. T1 had lower protein content (P ≤ 0.05), but greater hardness. Springiness decreased in T4, while cohesiveness and gumminess decreased significantly from T2 to T4. Appearance, pinkness and overall acceptability were statistically different between T0 and T4.
Limitations of the study: Bustamante and Rayones walnut paste decreased lightness in sausages.
Originality: Walnut paste can be used in the formulation of emulsified meat products.
Conclusions: B walnut paste can replace 35 and 70 % of pork fat in the formulation of Frankfurter sausage without significantly affecting its properties.

Published: December 2024

A bronquiolite é uma infecção viral frequente em lactentes de 0 a 2 anos, causada principalmente pelo Vírus Sincicial Respiratório (VSR). Seus sintomas variam de leves a graves, podendo exigir hospitalização, especialmente em crianças com comorbidades. Altamente contagiosa, é transmitida por gotículas e secreções. A enfermagem tem papel essencial na prevenção, através de orientações como higiene adequada, ventilação de ambientes e educação familiar. Assim, o estudo busca identificar cuidados preventivos eficazes da enfermagem para minimizar riscos, reduzir complicações e aprimorar a qualidade de vida de lactentes e suas famílias. Este estudo empregou a metodologia de revisão de literatura para explorar o tema da bronquiolite em lactentes e os cuidados de enfermagem associados. As práticas de enfermagem na prevenção da bronquiolite em lactentes incluem medidas essenciais, como a higiene das mãos, manejo ambiental adequado e o uso de equipamentos de proteção. Além disso, os enfermeiros orientam os cuidadores sobre a importância do aleitamento materno, da vacinação e da criação de um ambiente livre de tabaco. A educação em saúde, por sua vez, desempenha um papel fundamental ao promover hábitos preventivos, como a lavagem das mãos e o uso exclusivo de utensílios para o bebê. Adicionalmente, campanhas de saúde comunitária e a escuta ativa fortalecem a adesão às medidas preventivas. Em síntese, a bronquiolite em lactentes pode ser prevenida com práticas de higiene, manejo ambiental adequado, vacinação e aleitamento materno. A enfermagem é fundamental na educação das famílias, promovendo cuidados preventivos e identificando sinais precoces para evitar complicações.

Modeling memory in gravel-bed rivers: A flow history-dependent relation for evolving thresholds of motion
Authors: Masteller Claire C. , Johnson Joel P. L. , Rickenmann Dieter , Turowski Jens M.
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Thresholds of motion (τ*c) strongly control bedload transport in gravel-bed rivers. Uncertainty in τ*c limits the accuracy of predictions of transport and morphologic change. To improve our quantitative understanding of morphodynamic feedbacks in rivers, we propose a flow history-dependent model where τ*c evolves temporally as a function of bed shear stress. Relatively low shear stresses strengthen the bed, increasing τ*c and reducing transport. Larger floods rapidly weaken the bed, decreasing τ*c and increasing transport. We calibrate the model to a 23-year record of flow and bedload transport from the Erlenbach Torrent, Switzerland, and find that the model predicts the field-based τ*c record more accurately than assuming a constant τ*c.  Calibrated parameters describing strengthening are more tightly distributed than weakening parameters, which suggests that flood-induced bed weakening is more stochastic and less predictable than strengthening.
Quantifying cloud masking in a single column
Authors: Kluft Lukas , Stevens Bjorn , Brath Manfred , Buehler Stefan A.
Published: December 2024

Abstract. We add idealized clouds into a single column model and show that the cloud radiative effects as observed from satellites can be reproduced by a combination of high and either low or mid-level clouds. To quantify all-sky climate sensitivity we define a "fixed-cloud-albedo" null hypothesis, which assumes an understanding of how cloud temperatures change, but assumes no change in cloud albedo. This null-hypothesis depends on how clouds are vertically distributed along the temperature profile and how this changes as the surface warms. Drawing only distributions which match the cloud radiative effects of present day observations yields a mean fixed-albedo (also keeping surface albedo fixed) climate sensitivity of 2.2 K, slightly smaller than its clear-sky value. This small number arises from two compensating effects: the dominance of cloud masking of the radiative response, primarily by mid-level clouds which are assumed not to change with temperature, and a reduction of the radiative forcing due to masking effect by high clouds. Giving more prominence to low-level clouds, which are assumed to change their temperature with warming, reduces estimates of the fixed-albedo climate sensitivity to 2.0 K. This provides a baseline to which changes in surface albedo, and a believed reduction in cloud albedo, would add to.

Abstract. Polarimetric radio occultations (PROs) represent an augmentation of the standard radio occultation (RO) technique that provides precipitation and cloud vertical information along with the standard thermodynamic products. A combined dataset that contains both the PRO observable retrievals and the RO standard retrievals, the resPrf, has been developed with the aim of fostering the use of these unique observations and fully exploiting the scientific implication of having information about vertical cloud structures with an intrinsically collocated thermodynamic state of the atmosphere. This paper describes such a dataset and provides detailed information on the processing of the observations. The procedure followed at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to combine both horizontal (H) and vertical (V) observations to generate profiles equivalent to those in standard RO missions is described in detail, and the obtained refractivity is shown to be of equivalent quality compared to that from TerraSAR-X. The steps for the processing of the PRO observations are detailed, derived products such as the top of the signal are described, and validation is provided. Furthermore, the dataset contains the simulated ray trajectories for the PRO observation and collocated information with global satellite-based precipitation products, such as merged rain rate retrievals or passive microwave observations. These collocations are used for further validation of the PRO observations, and they are also provided within the resPrf profiles for additional use. It is also shown how accounting for external collocated information can significantly improve the effective PRO horizontal resolution, tackling one of the challenges of the technique. The resPrf dataset is publicly available at https://doi.org/10.20350/digitalCSIC/16137 (Padullés et al., 2024).
How well are hazards associated with derechos reproduced in regional climate simulations?

Published: December 2024

Abstract. A 15-member ensemble of convection-permitting regional simulations of the fast-moving and destructive derecho of 29–30 June 2012 that impacted the northeastern urban corridor of the USA is presented. This event generated 1100 reports of damaging winds, generated significant wind gusts over an extensive area of up to 500 000 km2, caused several fatalities, and resulted in widespread loss of electrical power. Extreme events such as this are increasingly being used within pseudo-global-warming experiments to examine the sensitivity of historical, societally important events to global climate non-stationarity and how they may evolve as a result of changing thermodynamic and dynamic contexts. As such it is important to examine the fidelity with which such events are described in hindcast experiments. The regional simulations presented herein are performed using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The resulting ensemble is used to explore simulation fidelity relative to observations for wind gust magnitudes, spatial scales of convection (as is manifest in high composite reflectivity, cREF), and both rainfall and hail production as a function of model configuration (microphysics parameterization, lateral boundary conditions (LBCs), start date, use of nudging, compiler choice, damping, and number of vertical levels). We also examine the degree to which each ensemble member differs with respect to key mesoscale drivers of convective systems (e.g., convective available potential energy and vertical wind shear) and critical manifestations of deep convection, e.g., vertical velocities, cold-pool generation, and how those properties relate to the correct characterization of the associated atmospheric hazards (wind gusts and hail). Use of a double-moment, seven-class scheme with number concentrations for all species (including hail and graupel) results in the greatest fidelity of model-simulated wind gusts and convective structure to the observations of this event. All ensemble members, however, fail to capture the intensity of the event in terms of the spatial extent of convection and the production of high near-surface wind gusts. We further show very high sensitivity to the LBCs employed and specifically that simulation fidelity is higher for simulations nested within ERA-Interim compared to ERA5. Excess convective available potential energy (CAPE) in all ensemble members after the derecho passage leads to excess production of convective cells, wind gusts, cREF > 40 dBZ, and precipitation during a frontal passage on the subsequent day. This event proved very challenging to forecast in real time and to reproduce in the 15-member hindcast simulation ensemble presented here. Future work could examine if simulations with other initial and lateral boundary conditions can achieve greater fidelity.
Building a Diverse and Equitable Distributed Wind Workforce: A Strategic Approach to Collaborator Selection
Authors: Parker Kendall , Kazimierczuk Kamila , Taylor Micah , Preziuso Danielle , White Andrew
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The demand for a skilled distributed wind (DW) workforce is rising with industry growth and recent federal support for technology adoption. However, challenges persist in scaling the industry. For example, DW installers have reported difficulty hiring, and areas with economically viable DW potential are often in rural and remote disadvantaged communities where workforce development opportunities have not been fully realized. Overall, the wind energy sector has a below-average representation of marginalized groups, and the transition to a cleaner energy future is an opportunity to change that. As more renewables, including DW, come online, scaling workforce capacity can be done in tandem with supporting workforce diversity. Moreover, to promote fair and equitable outcomes in workforce development, efforts to address limited workforce capacity should encourage participation from under-resourced and under-represented populations. Engaging under-represented populations not only helps close skills gaps but also ensures that the wind energy sector benefits from diverse perspectives, driving innovation and more effective solutions. Additionally, prioritizing workforce diversity ensures marginalized communities share in the benefits of the clean energy transition, ultimately supporting the long-term sustainability and inclusivity of the industry. The Diverse and Equitable Workforce in Wind Energy (DEWWind) project has developed a replicable equity-driven rubric to identify potential industry and academic collaborators for workforce development programming. This rubric identifies and considers workforce partners outside of traditional networks across locational, institutional, and socioeconomic criteria to advance new partnership-building opportunities in areas favorable for DW. These collaborative opportunities can serve as case studies for improving future scale-up of equitable wind workforce partnerships.

Citizenship and NIMBYism: Identities at the Juncture of Homelessness, Place, and Ideology
Authors: Webb Jason , Dej Erin
Published: December 2024

Not in my back yard (NIMBY)ism is a form of anti-homeless discrimination intended to displace people experiencing homelessness from urban spaces. While research on anti-homeless discrimination is abundant, the Canadian literature has yet to explore the political dimensions of this type of discrimination. International researchers have studied the connections between homelessness and citizenship, and we take up this theoretical work in this study. We present interview data from people experiencing homelessness in three mid-sized cities in Ontario. Using an analytical framework comprised of citizenship studies, urban geography, and sociological research on stigmatization, we assess participants’ perspectives of their respective communities, their understanding of the typology of homelessness, and how they enact particular kinds of public behaviours. We find that the participants’ public behaviours adapt to the place identity of their community to avoid stigmatization. The participants’ public behaviours are illustrative of how modern citizenship has been reconfigured under capitalism.
Alberto Álvarez de Cienfuegos, un poeta olvidado. Sus inicios por la senda de Francisco Villaespesa
Authors: Urbano Priego José
Published: December 2024

El presente trabajo aborda algunos aspectos de la primera época del poeta y dramaturgo Alberto Álvarez de Cienfuegos Cobos (1885-1957), un autor de ideas progresistas cuya trayectoria literaria quedó truncada por la irrupción de la dictadura franquista, sucumbiendo progresivamente al olvido del público y de la historia literaria. Habida cuenta de la escasez de estudios monográficos publicados sobre él, estas páginas se sustentan en un minucioso rastreo biblio-hemerográfico y en el análisis de sus primeras obras, que dejan ver cierta afinidad temática y estilística con el poeta modernista Francisco Villaespesa, con quien Álvarez de Cienfuegos mantuvo una estrecha conexión desde 1910, deviniendo el principal referente para trazar su propia poética.
Las mujeres que escribieron el Semanario Pintoresco Español (1836-1857)
Authors: Cabello Estefanía
Published: December 2024

La imagen de la mujer que proyecta el Semanario Pintoresco Español no es monolítica. Mientras que, por una parte, se publican discursos que describen a la mujer como el perfecto «ángel del hogar»; por otra, el hecho mismo de que haya mujeres escritoras que publican en sus páginas (Amelia Corradi, Fernán Caballero, Carolina Coronado o Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda) genera una complicación en esas descripciones que apunta hacia el debate en torno a la cuestión femenina. Es más, es ese resquicio entre el discurso sobre la mujer y la escritura de las propias mujeres el que alimenta un cambio en la imagen de la escritora en las páginas del periódico español. En este trabajo expongo el perfil biográfico de las escritoras que, sin pseudónimo, crearon ellas mismas la presencia de la autoría femenina en los 1137 ejemplares que componían el Semanario.
José de Valdivieso y el paratexto de la ficción breve barroca: un enfoque sobre la configuración estratégica de obras de entretenimiento

Este estudio examina las aprobaciones concedidas por Valdivieso a las colecciones que contienen novelas cortas durante el veto impuesto por la Junta de Reformación en los casi dos lustros de prohibición y averiguar una configuración estratégica en las concesiones de obras de entretenimiento en el discurso paratextual del toledano. Si bien en todas ellas se mantiene el equilibrio eutrapélico procedente del habitual escudo protector del prodesse et delectare horaciano, el criterio de validación principal del discurso paratextual del capellán será el delectare, abriendo, así, a un proceso de evolución del concepto de ejemplaridad que se daría a entender en relación con una literatura de diversión en la documentación paratextual del capellán.
La construcción de una identidad en la sociedad posmoderna y las convenciones sociales en la novela corta Cara de pan de Sara Mesa
Authors: Del Pozo Merino Ester
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo propone una lectura para pensar las relaciones entre la identidad posmoderna y las convenciones sociales a través de la narrativa de Sara Mesa. Para ello, la investigación se centra en la novela corta Cara de pan (2018), donde la autora explora la crisis de identidad de una adolescente que entabla una relación ambigua con un señor mayor. De este modo, se responden las siguientes preguntas: ¿de qué forma se desarrolla una identidad en la posmodernidad? ¿cómo influyen las convenciones sociales en este proceso? Al analizar la obra, se intentan cumplir dos objetivos fundamentales: entender cómo se construye y deconstruye una identidad en los tiempos líquidos y qué papel desempeñan las convenciones sociales.
Análisis optimizador de la flexión verbal del voseo chileno
Authors: Vázquez-Larruscaín Miguel , Rivadeneira-Valenzuela Marcela
Published: December 2024

El presente trabajo contiene un análisis estructural del voseo verbal chileno no solo como una estructura lingüística autónoma y autosuficiente, sino como una muestra en la que confluyen dos de las variables más importantes de la lingüística del español: el voseo americano y la -s implosiva. Estos dos elementos, por su parte, involucran aspectos que pertenecen a distintos componentes de la lengua, como la morfología, la fonología o la fonética. Una óptica optimizadora es la mejor estrategia para factorizar los diferentes elementos del análisis. El carácter universal de estos elementos nos permite no solo analizar el patrón concreto del voseo chileno, sino también esbozar tipologías del voseo americano y explorar los límites de la variación de la -s implosiva en español.
Verdaderos y falsos revolucionarios. El ejemplo cubano en el origen de la Nueva Izquierda italiana
Authors: Morra Marco
Published: December 2024

Este artículo aborda la relación entre la Revolución Cubana y la Nueva Izquierda italiana durante los años sesenta. El interés por Cuba comenzó a principios de la década, cuando la invasión de Playa Girón y la Crisis de los misiles situaron a la isla en el centro del movimiento por la paz en Italia, desencadenando movilizaciones de masas que constituyeron un primer momento de radicalización de la juventud. Sin embargo, no fue sino hasta la segunda mitad de la década que el ejemplo cubano influyó en la elaboración de un nuevo discurso y de una nueva práctica revolucionaria en la península. En dicho periodo, La Habana se convirtió en un centro de difusión internacional de ideas y discursos revolucionarios a través de la Conferencia Tricontinental, de la Conferencia de la OLAS y del Congreso Cultural de La Habana. La creación de la revista Tricontinental, las relaciones con los intelectuales europeos y el ejemplo internacionalista de Ernesto Guevara permitieron a Cuba de establecer un puente entre las experiencias revolucionarias del Tercer Mundo y las Nuevas Izquierdas de Europa Occidental. Al contrario de lo que ocurrió en otros países europeos, el acercamiento de La Habana a Moscú y la detención del poeta Heberto Padilla no disminuyeron el prestigio de Cuba en la península, aunque en los años entre las dos décadas se pueda destacar el progresivo agotamiento del ejemplo cubano como modelo inspirador, principalmente debido al fracaso de la estrategia foquista y al surgimiento de nuevas experiencias revolucionarias en el Cono Sur.
Respuestas a la soledad entre las mujeres canarias durante los siglos XVII y XVIII
Authors: Santana Montañez Nira
Published: December 2024

Por su ubicación entre tres continentes (África, América y Europa), Canarias se convirtió desde finales del siglo XV en un lugar de paso casi obligatorio en las rutas que se dirigían hacia el continente americano. La nueva sociedad que se fue conformando en las islas estaría marcada por este trasiego de gentes llegadas desde diversas procedencias de la geografía peninsular y europea. En este contexto, las relaciones entre mujeres y hombres estuvieron marcadas en gran medida por las idas y venidas de estos últimos, quienes a la mínima oportunidad aprovechaban la salida de cualquier embarcación para lanzarse al mar y viajar en busca de una mejor fortuna; mientras que ellas, generalmente, permanecían en las islas a la espera de un regreso y un futuro inciertos. Con este trabajo, pretendemos aproximarnos a la vida cotidiana de aquellas isleñas que durante el Antiguo Régimen tuvieron que enfrentarse y responder a la soledad. Atendiendo a los testimonios y los medios empleados por estas mujeres se han identificado tres tipos de respuestas a la soledad: respuestas legales, respuestas económicas o materiales y respuestas mágico-religiosas. Es de estos tres tipos de respuestas de los que se tratará en este artículo.

Applying the Kano Model and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to the study can determine consumer preferences for higher-quality products. Kano Model is used to classify product aspects based on user satisfaction levels, While QFD is used to translate customer wants into certain technical qualities to determine the requirements and expectations of 35 potential users, data was gathered using questionnaires and interviews with the users. The Kano Model was then used to examine the survey data and classify the demands of potential users into six groups: Must-Be Attributes (M), Attractive Features (A), One-Dimensional Features (O), Indifferent Features (I), Reverse Features (R), Questionable Features (Q). These classifications aid in deciphering the relative importance that prospective buyers place on certain product attributes. In addition, to determine the technical qualities needed to satisfy consumer wants, the QFD matrix incorporates the findings of the Kano analysis. There are many phases in this process: defining the needs of the users, converting those needs into technical specifications, and setting development priorities based on a consideration of each attribute's relative value. The research findings are the Kano Model and QFD together may efficiently determine and rank the wants of potential customers and then convert those needs into practical steps to improve the plant watering system. When this technique is put into practice, it should help manufacturers and researchers create items that better satisfy the needs and expectations of potential users, which will boost users’ satisfaction and sales.

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (HT) is a chronic condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. A life-long persisting autoimmune condition that begins with inflammation leading to thyroid dysfunction. Our research focuses on the pivotal part of the process: T helper 17 (Th17) cells since HT usually focuses on the other immune cells. Our study reveals that Th17 and the cytokine IL-17 are responsible for the condition’s inflammatory cascade. Th17 cells become proactive, leading to excessive inflammation, which ultimately causes thyroid tissue damage in HT. These cells are pro-inflammatory as they produce IL-17, which recruits other immune cells and exacerbates tissue destruction. This balance between the Th-17 and the regulatory Treg or T cells normally responsible for keeping immune response in check gets disrupted in HT, causing a persistent attack on the immune system. Our findings in this paper highlight the importance of targeting the Th-17 and IL-17 pathways as a potential therapeutic strategy. When we shift our focus on these, we may be able to develop treatments that help manage the inflammation and prevent thyroid damage.

L'aquaculture, essentielle pour accroître les sources de protéines en Côte d'Ivoire, est limitée par l’alimentation qui représente plus de 50 % des coûts de production. Cette étude visait à remplacer la farine de poisson par la farine fermentée de Lemna minor dans l’alimentation de juvéniles du tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (25,55 ± 0,28 g). Six régimes S0, S15, S30, S50, S75 et S100 sont formulés en remplaçant graduellement la farine de poisson par la farine fermentée de Lemna minor. Après huit semaines d’élevage, les paramètres de croissance et d’utilisation des aliments ont été évalués. Les gains moyens quotidiens variaient entre 0,29 et 0,80 g/j, et les taux de croissance spécifique entre 0,88 et 1,80 %/j. Parmi les régimes substitués, les meilleures croissances sont observées chez les poissons nourris avec S15, suivi de S30. L’indice de consommation (IC) et le coefficient d’efficacité protéique (CEP) ont varié respectivement de 1,15 à 3,39 et de 1,07 à 2,28. Les poissons nourris avec le régime S15 ont présenté les meilleurs (IC 1,19 ; CEP 2,22), suivis de ceux du régime S30 (IC 1,3 ; CEP 2,18). Une substitution de la farine de poisson par la farine fermentée de lentilles allant jusqu’à 30 % serait envisageable.
Design and Evaluation of an Ontology-Based Context-Aware System for Advertising Recommendations

Published: December 2024

This research focuses on the design and evaluation of an ontology-based context-aware system for advertising recommendations. The study addresses the limitations of traditional advertising systems, which often neglect key contextual factors such as user location, time, and needs. Using the NeOn methodology, the proposed ontology incorporates these contextual dimensions, integrating widely accepted ontologies like FOAF, OWL-Time, and WGS84 Geo Positioning. The developed ontology was tested using SPARQL and GeoSPARQL queries to ensure it could accurately represent advertising and contextual information, delivering relevant recommendations tailored to users' current situations. The results demonstrate the ontology's scalability, expressiveness, and effectiveness in providing context-aware advertising recommendations. Future work includes developing a mobile application that leverages the ontology to enhance real-time advertising recommendations.

Straipsnio aktualumą pagrindžia mokslinė praktinė problema, susijusi mokytojo profesija, kuri Lietuvoje išgyvena ne pačius populiariausius laikus, tačiau nemažai jaunų žmonių nusprendžia tapti pedagogais. Tai sudėtingas, kompleksinis procesas, kurio metu būsimas mokytojas bando apsibrėžti savo vaidmenį ir esybę. Straipsnyje pateikiami empirinio tyrimo rezultatai ir jų analizė, kurioje siekiama atskleisti, kaip visuomenėje vyraujantys stereotipai veikia būsimų pedagogų profesinį tapatumą. Teorinė analizė ir empirinio tyrimo rezultatai liudija, jog pagrindiniai veiksniai, darantys įtaką mokytojo įvaizdžiui, yra mokytojo bendravimo stilius, santykiai su ugdytiniais bei švietimo sistemos reformos. Nors stereotipai nėra esminė kliūtis, siekiant būsimos profesinės karjeros, tačiau dauguma pedagogikos studijų krypties studentų, dalyvavusių tyrime, savo profesinį tapatumą kuria pasitikėdami savimi ir remdamiesi vidine motyvacija. Respondentai taip pat pabrėžia, kad jų norą rinktis mokytojo profesiją lėmė vidinis apsisprendimas ir asmeniniai lūkesčiai bei noras dalintis žiniomis.

Straipsnyje nagrinėjama, ar tėvų išsilavinimas turi įtakos ugdant vaiko emocinį intelektą jaunesniame mokykliniame amžiuje. Šiuolaikiniame pasaulyje vyrauja nuomonė, kad aukštesnio išsilavinimo tėvai gali užauginti emociškai intelektualesnį vaiką. Tačiau emocinis išprusimas ne visada yra susijęs su aukštu intelekto koeficientu. Straipsnyje analizuojama emocinio intelekto samprata ir raiška, stengiamasi pagrįsti tėvų išsilavinimo įtaką, ugdant vaiko emocinį intelektą, pateikiami emocinio intelekto ugdymo ypatumai ir galimybės šeimoje, bei pateikiami atlikto kiekybinio tyrimo, kuriame  dalyvavo respondentai (tėvai), auginantys jaunesniojo mokyklinio amžiaus vaikus ir yra įgiję skirtingą išsilavinimą, rezultatai ir jų interpretacija. Tyrimo rezultatai patvirtino, jog tėvai, turintys aukštesnį išsilavinimą, labiau rūpinasi vaiko emociniu ugdymu. Jiems svarbesni tokie vaiko gebėjimai, kaip mokėjimas drąsiai reikšti savo nuomonę, sunkumų įveika ir savęs pažinimas. Šie tėvai dažniau taiko vieną iš svarbiausių emocinio intelekto metodų – padeda vaikui išmokti valdyti neigiamas emocijas ir stresines situacijas.
