Research on dependence of fuel consumption on cargo weight in long-distance transport
Authors: Khabibullozoda Kh. Kh. , Goriaev N. K.
Published: July 2021

Introduction. The current methodology for fuel consumption accounting in road vehicles has not been changed in terms of its quality for a long time. In the majority of transport enterprises of the Cheliabinsk Region, official methods for the regulation of fuel consumption are not used, which indicates the need to improve the fuel consumption accounting standards. The most significant differences between standardized and real consumption are related to transport work.

Purpose of the experiment. The article aims to carry out a statistical analysis of the influence of cargo weight on fuel consumption in long-distance transport.

Results of the experiment. In order to identify the dependence of cargo weight on fuel consumption in longdistance transport, a study is conducted on the statistical data on the operation of truck tractors at OOO Alliance Auto, one of the largest long-distance road carriers in the Cheliabinsk Region. The study is conducted on MercedesBenz Actros-1840 truck tractors equipped with fuel consumption monitoring devices and devices for determining axle loads. The cargo weigh is determined by subtracting the curb weight from the actual one according to the axle load data. Data on the values of the actual cargo weight and fuel consumption for each trip are recorded using the Fleet Board software and hardware complex; Excel and STATISTICA programs are used to calculate and construct the necessary graphs and regression equations. The statistical analysis performed makes it possible to establish the nature and indicators of the dependence of fuel consumption on cargo weight in long-distance transport. As a result, the relationship between the flow rate and the cargo weight is established; a confidence test is performed; and a regression equation is obtained.

Conclusion. Analysis of the collected data shows that the dependence of fuel consumption for transport work by road trains with truck tractors Mercedes-Benz Actros-1840 on the cargo weight for the Russian operating conditions in long-distance transport is linear and amounts to 0.39 liters per 100 km for each ton of transported cargo.
The 'new normal' and 'new normalisations' in early childhood education policy in Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors: Gibbons Andrew , Tesar Marek
Published: July 2021

When New Zealand entered pandemic alert level 3 and early childhood centres were being ‘nudged’ to re-open in order to offer support for parents returning to work, the Ministry of Health advised both Early Childhood centres and parents that children were not at risk of catching or spreading the virus. Fast-forward to Level 1 and the Ministry of Health has advised that an infant, who arrived into the country from overseas together with its parents, had the virus and was in a managed quarantine. This paper discusses this apparent policy contradiction between guidelines and evidence by collecting and analysing discourses that the nation has received from government agencies regarding children and early childhood education. This paper uses these discourses to explore the 'body' of knowledge regarding childhood and early childhood education, discourses that make childhood and early childhood education possible. We then apply a range of theoretical and conceptual tools to suggest some possible conditions of early childhood education (leading up to, during, and post-Covid-19). We employ health and medical metaphors to highlight ongoing tensions for early childhood education as a patient for whom neither education nor health Ministries take sufficient responsibility. The use of a health as a metaphor additionally focuses this paper on the new ‘normal’ of early childhood education and education policy.
Early childhood education in Aotearoa in a post-Covid world
Authors: Mitchell Linda
Published: July 2021

This article draws on recent research on the impact of Covid-19 on the early childhood education (ECE) sector in Aotearoa. It discusses the innovative ways that ECE services found to communicate with families and children and maintain an education programme during lockdowns, the essential role they played in childcare for children of essential workers, and the approaches some took to “working in solidarity” with children, families, and community. The article discusses crucial issues that need attention at policy and organisational levels. These include new issues that arose during lockdowns, and enduring issues that have intensified. The consequences of three decades of neoliberalism, privatisation and marketisation are briefly discussed and a reimagined vision is put forward.
Dialoguing as if we're not that important
Authors: Mika Carl
Published: July 2021

The idea that the world is interconnected foreshadows a massive change in how education is conceived and practised. It may even render ‘education’ non-existent. Māori philosophy centreing on the All – which is another term for interconnection but having a stronger flavour of unity between all things such that they are one – suggests that education, if it is to remain, must honour new ways of perceiving the world. Firstly, it must set about striving for an opposite goal, this being cultivating an uncertainty in students as they think about things in the world. Secondly (and relatedly), it calls for a self-erasure, which involves acknowledging the self’s vulnerability in the shadow of the All: this humility is not simply intellectual but bodily. In this article, I consider this self-erasure in the context of various korero (discussions) with an older whanaunga (relative). In these korero, we would be aware that there were phenomena that cannot be accounted for but that impinge on thought. These phenomena have implications for education – at least from a Māori perspective, despite the attempts of rational thought to evade them.
Design and optimisation of a laboratory scale microwave furnace for heating titanomagnetite ironsand
Authors:   , Markwitz Martin
Published: July 2021

TTM (Titanomagnetite) ironsand is an abundant source of iron oxide on the western beaches of the Waikato and Auckland regions in New Zealand, with chemical formula TixFe3-xO4 (x=0.27). This ironsand has been used for the last four decades to produce steel in New Zealand, but the reduction process releases large amounts of carbon dioxide. This is because coal is used as the primary reducing agent. Using hydrogen gas instead as a reducing agent, it is possible to reduce ironsand while avoiding the excessive production of carbon dioxide. In addition, standard electrical heating methods are generally limited by low power transfer rates to the steelmaking reactants. Microwave heating is an alternative heating method, shown to be good candidate for ironsand heating via direct power transfer to the NZ ironsand itself due to its excellent microwave absorbing features. This research focuses on modelling the dynamics of microwave power transfer in a resonant microwave cavity, and refines a computational model to improve the modelling capability of such a process.

Microwave heating is known to demonstrate high direct power transfer rates to microwave absorbing materials, such as TTM ironsand. The microwave heating of ironsand as a candidate heating method is shown in this work by the optimisation of the resonant performance of a custom-built laboratory scale microwave cavity to heat ironsand to over 1000 C. The microwave furnace developed in this work was specifically designed to mimic the contemporary steelmaking standards (i.e., a continuous throughput furnace). A microwave furnace was designed with a computational model, then built and tested in a laboratory. Measurements tracking various energy fluxes throughout the furnace refined an initial transient microwave heating simulation of the computational model with a simple experimental procedure, which exploits the significant variation of the real permittivity (εr) of the ironsand at T = 430 C.

From that experimental procedure, a significant variation in microwave absorption was observed as the ironsand passed through its Curie temperature. This effect was reproduced in an initial transient microwave heating simulation. Experimental results were then used to improve simulation accuracy. This encourages further refinement of the computational model as an avenue for future work in this field.

In summary, this research demonstrates the feasibility of designing a microwave furnace for efficiently heating TTM ironsand. It also exhibits the feasibility of simulating microwave heating of TTM ironsand with a computational model. The results from this thesis show promise for further study on the hydrogen reduction of TTM ironsand within a microwave furnace. The findings therein present results which ‘set the scene’ for for larger-scale zero-CO2 production of techno-economically essential materials via microwave heating.
Whakapapa Investment Philosophy: A Māori Way Of Thinking About Investment
Authors:   , Tunui Brian
Published: July 2021

Māori investment organisations are an influential component of the Māori economy, and yet little is known or written about them and how they function. The thesis will examine three Māori investment organisations and explore their investment philosophy, the elements they consider in their investment decision-making, their decision-making style, and the influence tikanga Māori has in the investment decision. My thesis focusses on Māori investment organisations which invest and manage collectively owned assets for the benefit of Māori people.

The thesis will offer a unique view of Māori investment practices through a whakapapa lens. Each of the three case studies draws on a combination of elements, and highlights areas where a whakapapa investment philosophy is at work. The thesis also discusses a decision-making style that is consistent with a whakapapa investment philosophy.

Kaupapa Māori research is the overarching research methodology used and is combined with inductive and qualitative grounded theory methods. A collective case study approach is used to provide insights into a particular phenomenon occurring within the chosen organisations and to identify the emergence of ideas amongst current practices. The thesis focuses on three investment organisations, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, Wakatū Incorporation and Poutama Trust.

A whakapapa investment philosophy privileges a Māori worldview and offers Māori investment organisations another way to think about investing that considers their history, relationships, knowledge, tikanga, behaviours, and aspirations alongside financial, economic, social and environmental elements. I suggest it will enhance our knowledge of the elements that influence Māori investment organisations, and enhance their ability to provide for their people to live well.
Grieving Prison Death
Authors:   , Lamusse Ti
Published: July 2021

The prison is a repressive apparatus that underpins settler-colonial capitalism in Aotearoa, a site for the collection and containment of bodies abjected from the social formation. When a person dies in prison, their death can expose some of the worst excesses of the current mode of production and immiseration. This thesis grapples with what it means to grieve the death of the prisoner. Interrogating 108 coroners’ findings into deaths in New Zealand prisons, it outlines the material conditions of confinement leading to people’s deaths, as well as the state’s attempt to come to terms with these deaths. Framed within the work of Judith Butler, the Department of Corrections enacts routine practices upon the bodies of the deceased that constitute dehumanising norms. Alongside the vilification and abjection of the prisoner, these norms establish that the prisoner is not recognisable as fully human. As a result of a security context that exacerbates the vulnerability of prisoners for the benefit of those worthy of protection, prisoners are placed in positions of extreme precarity. The material practices that reinforce the inhumanity of prisoners and increase their level of precarity establish, before the prisoner’s death, that the prisoner’s life is not a life worthy of living. Grieving the death of the prisoner requires the recognition of prisoners as fully human, which is not possible within a normative context that necessitates their dehumanisation. Thus, to grieve the death of the prisoner, there must be a material transformation of these dehumanising practices, and the normative social conditions in which they are necessitated. As those normative practices, and the prison itself, are so entrenched in settler-colonial capitalism, mourning the death of the prisoner requires much more than the coroners can conceive.
Simulated mining-related sedimentation impacts on the deep-sea macrofauna of the Chatham Rise, New Zealand
Authors:   , Murray Campbell
Published: July 2021

With the possibility of deep-sea mining of marine mineral resources occurring in the near future, it is necessary to understand the potential impacts that mining may have on benthic communities. Previous simulated mining experiments have observed direct impacts of deep-sea mining (e.g., faunal mortality); however, indirect impacts of sedimentation were not understood. In New Zealand, there has been interest in mining the seabed of the Chatham Rise, but mining consents have been refused, partly due to the uncertainties of sedimentation impacts on benthic communities. A disturbance experiment conducted in 2019 on the Rise used a modified agricultural plough designed to create a sediment cloud that could result from mining. This disturbance was used to assess the resilience of benthic communities to sedimentation in a proposed future mining area. Macrofaunal and sediment samples were collected with a multicorer before, immediately after and one year after disturbance to assess the impact on the community and its ability to recover. Samplingevents took place in disturbed (physically run over by the plough and subjected to sedimentation) and undisturbed areas (subjected to sedimentation only) at each sampling period. Macrofaunal abundance significantly decreased in disturbed areas after disturbancebut not in undisturbed areas. However, community structure changed in both areas after disturbance; in disturbed areas this was mostly driven by changes in numerically dominant fauna, but in undisturbed areas by the more sensitive fauna which may provide an early warning sign for further changes under increased sedimentation. One year after disturbance, community structure had recovered in both areas. Abundance-based community structure correlated most strongly with C:N molar ratios in the sediment which increased after disturbance. Ecosystem function was measured by sediment community oxygen consumption (SCOC) which increased similarly in both disturbed and undisturbed areas after disturbance; SCOC may be a more sensitive measure than community structure in assessing sedimentation impacts. No correlations were found between SCOC and macrofaunal abundance, biomass, diversity or bacterial abundance. The results of this research are useful for managing the impacts of industries where sedimentation is an issue, such as for bottom trawl fisheries and deep-sea mining. The results highlight the importance of leaving unmined patches of seabed adjacent to or within mined areas, to aid the recovery of macrofaunal communities subjected to mining disturbance.

Destacamos exposições que tratam o histórico da participação das mulheres no futebol brasileiro. Corroboramos que a cibercultura e a cultura da convergência são importantes na ampliação do acesso aos conhecimentos historicamente produzidos, pois perpassam a educação histórica e de uma prática corporal, uma vez que a interação e participação das pessoas são potencializadas com a virtualização do Museu do Futebol, por seus canais de mídia.
A educação de crianças e adolescentes com deficiência no contexto das políticas sociais
Authors: Campos Regina Célia Passos Ribeiro de , Sá Michele Aparecida de , Campos Ana Célia Passos Pereira
Published: July 2021

A história da educação das pessoas com deficiência no Brasil foi marcada pela ausência de iniciativas do Estado. Desse modo, o objetivo deste estudo foi discutir o direito à educação escolar dos alunos com deficiência a partir da reflexão sobre as políticas educacionais no contexto das políticas sociais. As principais fontes documentais analisadas foram aquelas que formalizam e instituem as diretrizes para a Educação Especial na perspectiva da educação inclusiva. Também foram utilizados os dados do Censo Escolar da Educação Básica disponibilizados pelo Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (INEP). O estudo permitiu perceber que os direitos são constituídos a partir de lutas históricas e demandas por novos direitos. Entre as garantias legais para as pessoas com deficiência está a inclusão escolar. Os avanços dessa inclusão são legítimos como podemos observar nos dados do censo escolar da Educação Básica, mas precisamos dialogar e participar politicamente para que as políticas educacionais brasileiras não estejam marcadas ou se baseiem em legislações educacionais difusas, impessoais e internacionalizadas que, na maioria das vezes, não levam em conta a diversidade e a complexidade da realidade do ensino brasileiro.

Published: July 2021

O artigo apresenta resultados parciais de uma pesquisa sobre as lutas pela escolarização das crianças do assentamento Chico Mendes, constante da zona rural do município de Arinos/MG. As narrativas de fundação e apropriação da escola pública como patrimônio da comunidade de assentados foram construídas com aportes teóricos da metodologia da História Oral. Da escola que funcionava em um curral à sua posterior apropriação pelo poder público, nossas reflexões e análises se estabeleceram no tocante ao histórico de luta e resistência contra as diretrizes estatais e pela consolidação de um projeto pedagógico de viés campesino. Ademais, analisamos a contraposição entre os silêncios percebidos na documentação escolar atual, e os conflitos e conquistas detalhados na memória dos fundadores da comunidade, os protagonistas da luta.
Educação do campo rompe com os paradigmas conservadores da formação de professores/as

Published: July 2021

Este texto é resultado dos estudos de pesquisa realizados no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, com objetivo de subsidiar a Linha de Pesquisa: Formação e Práxis do/a Educador/a Frente aos Desafios Amazônicos. Teve os seguintes objetivos específicos: 1) Estudar os paradigmas conservadores que sustentam a formação de professores/as na sociedade capitalista; 2) Investigar como a Educação do Campo rompe com os paradigmas conservadores, especialmente na formação de professores/as. A metodologia adotada deu-se em dois momentos: pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Mas para facilitar o estudo elaboramos duas questões norteadoras: 1) Quais são os paradigmas conservadores que sustentam a formação de professores/as na sociedade capitalista? e 2) Por que a Educação do Campo rompe com os paradigmas conservadores, especialmente na formação de professores/as? Assim, conclui-se que a formação de professores/as do campo, que se sustentam nos referenciais teóricos da pedagogia crítica não dialoga com a formação de professores/as ligadas aos paradigmas conservadores liberais e neoliberais, pois ambos possuem projetos de sociedade diferentes.

Este artigo tematiza o papel da história da educação matemática na formação de professores. Coloca como questão central a ser respondida pelo texto: Como se dá a elaboração da matemática que o professor deve ensinar nas escolas? Para responder à questão, analisam-se as diferenças existentes entre ensino de matemática e educação matemática. A partir dessa análise promove-se a distinção entre duas searas distintas de pesquisa: história do ensino de matemática e história da educação matemática. O estudo utiliza como referência principal teórico-metodológica as pesquisas de André Chervel sobre história das disciplinas escolares. Como resultado do trabalho realizado, é feita a defesa de que a um dado tempo, num dado contexto social, político e cultural, as relações estabelecidas entre o campo disciplinar matemático, o campo da docência e as ciências da educação dão origem a uma dada matemática para o ensino, uma referência de trabalho para o professor que ensina matemática.
Territory, sustainability and designFrom traceability to the upgrade of production waste
Authors:   Alberto Bassi, Lucilla Calogero, Michele De Chirico
Published: July 2021

Design is the discipline capable of interpreting technical, economic, social and cultural transformations, coming into close contact with the concrete dimension of the territorial context and acting on the processes of competitive enhancement of single companies and of local business systems.
Starting from these premises and with the purpose of allowing the territory to absorb values ​​such as sustainability, identity and brand recognition strategies, the envisioned change – beyond the project level – is cultural.
Two research projects dedicated to the integration of good practices for sustainability in the territorial context of Veneto demonstrate how a virtuous circle can be implemented starting from the concept of dedicated tracking systems for companies up to the design for a sustainable management of waste. This positive process consists of new relationships and active exchanges of skills, bringing to light those already existing. In this way, the profound meaning of belonging to a cultural identity is integrated into the planned development of companies.

Pedro Peralta y Barrionuevo: Radiografía de un tiempo, una sociedad y un hombre

Si hay estrictamente autores "malditos", uno de ellos podría ser Peralta. No en el sentido en que se aplicó el adjetivo a los poetas franceses " f i n du siécle" (Verlaine, Rimbaud), sino en la más amplia y menos técnica connotación, reprobo, especie de árbol caído (o sin caer) del que todos hacen jubilosamente leña. Podríamos intentar una comparación algo exagerada, pero sin embargo válida: durante todo el siglo XIX fue tópico entre los críticos literarios españoles, confesarse incapaces de entender a Góngora o resueltos a no hacerlo: de esta manera, siendo unánime el veredicto crítico, quien aparecía como inhábil o inferior era el cordobés, no sus exégetas.

El limeño don Pedro de Peralta Barnuevo y Rocha Benavides (1664-1743) es el más famoso polígrafo virreinal. Riva Agüero, en su Historia en el Perú, ha hecho un boceto clásico de su personalidad. Pero Peralta Barnuevo no es solamente el humanista de su  época — docto en saberes sacro y profano— , sino que es un hombre de transición entre el estilo cultural que predominó en las épocas de los Austrias y Borbones. Sin perder el fundamento tradicional, su inclinación profunda al cultivo de las ciencias es el síntoma de la aparición de generaciones criollas precursoras, cuyos magnos representantes en la segunda mitad del XVIII serían José Baquíjano y Carrillo, Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza, Hipólito Unanue y Vicente Morales Duárez.
Turkey at the Dawn of the 2020s: Old Challenges and New Prospects
Authors: Papanikos Gregory T.
Published: July 2021

Turkey is a great power as this is measured by its population and economy. The question is whether she is so great that she can play a decisive and, in many cases, antagonistic if not adversary role vis-a-vis her allies of the so-called western world. Apart from the rhetoric of the current Turkish leadership, her role is restricted by her commitment to international organization such as NATO when it comes to politico-military independence and European Union when it comes to politico-economic independence. It seems that Turkey has no other political and economic choice but to align her international ambitions with the priorities of its traditional allies of the western world even if this would require some sort of compromise. This would result from either her “free choice,” or would be forced upon her by the use of soft and hard policies. The latter might include the threat of military action. Keywords: Turkey, Middle East, great power competition, population, per capita income
Poetry in Action: From the Gift Economy to Corporate Philanthropists
Authors: Gelmini Lorenzo
Published: July 2021

The role of patronage has been widely examined in studies in different disciplines, from the arts to sociology. This paper adopts a novel interdisciplinary approach to investigate the relationship between patronage, corporate philanthropy, and the economic (and non-economic) returns for donors. In an ancient Latin literature perspective, the case study analyzes the literary works of Horace, master poet and noteworthy exemplum of cursus honorum and Latin patronage. Highlighting some pivotal poetic lines (from a managerial standpoint), the study proposes a patronage and gift economy framework as the building blocks for corporate philanthropy and corporate social responsibility actions. While patronage fosters the development of economic relationships, even if in a non-linear and multi-faceted way, corporate philanthropy promotes relationships aimed at achieving positive returns for the donor, be they economic or meta-economic, instantaneous or delayed. Although more difficult to capture through the usual cash inflow and outflow measurements, corporate philanthropy and corporate social responsibility express an elusive but valuable economic relationship. Therefore, this study offers some managerial insights for non-profit corporations and those industries – for example, sports – where the economic returns may not be a central element of the investment. Finally, it is noteworthy that Horace is, among other things, an author of great modernity for his tension, articulated and complex, towards the active events of his time. His rediscovery, not only in literary studies, has allowed to add to other disciplines the analysis of an intellectual, divided between art and current life. Keywords: Latin literature, patronage, corporate philanthropy, gift economy, non-financial performance
For Inclusive and Sustainable Education: The Profile of the Educator and Pedagogist in Italy
Authors: Lecce Amelia , Aiello Paola
Published: July 2021

The changes that have characterized contemporary complex societies and the need to affirm the values of social inclusion have led the Italian educational policy makers to debate on the professional quality within the educational field, to study its changes and its social impact. This debate has gradually led to a redefinition of the professional profile of the educator and the pedagogist giving rise to a legislative provision aiming at recognizing, regulating and protecting these professionals. According to this law, in particular, the socio-pedagogical educator and the pedagogist are required to have specific competences that could promote inclusive and sustainable educational actions. The present theoretical argumentative paper aims at presenting a synthesis of the long debate that led to the approval of Law 205/17 in Italy, involving policy makers and Italian scholars and academics in the redefinition of the educational professions. Specifically, it aims at highlighting the rational and the characteristics of the context which have supported the long legislative process within a conceptual dimension that considers inclusive education as an unavoidable framework for social sustainability. Keywords: inclusive education, sustainable education, educator and pedagogist, Italy
Can Teacher Evaluation Systems Produce High-Quality Feedback? An Administrator Training Field Experiment
Authors: Kraft Matthew A. , Christian Alvin
Published: July 2021

A core motivation for the widespread teacher evaluation reforms of the past decade was the belief that these new systems would promote teacher development through high-quality feedback. We examine this theory by studying teachers’ perceptions of evaluation feedback in Boston Public Schools and evaluating the district's efforts to improve feedback through an administrator training program. Teachers generally reported that evaluators were trustworthy, fair, and accurate but that they struggled to provide high-quality feedback. We find little evidence that the training program improved perceived feedback quality, classroom instruction, teacher self-efficacy, or student achievement. Our results illustrate the challenges of using evaluation systems as engines for professional growth when administrators lack the time and skill necessary to provide frequent, high-quality feedback.
Epistemic justifications for belief in the unobservable: The impact of minority status
Authors: Davoodi Telli , Cui Yixin Kelly , Corriveau Kathleen H. , Harris Paul L. , Clegg Jennifer
Published: July 2021

Children hold beliefs about religious and scientific entities, such as angels or germs, that they cannot directly observe or interact with. Given their limited opportunities for first-hand observation, children's beliefs in these entities are a clear example of cultural learning and are likely to vary based on cultural factors. In the present study, we investigated variation in the epistemic stance of 4–11-year-old children growing up in a religious minority in China (N = 47), a religious majority in Iran (N = 85), and a religious majority in the U.S. (N = 74). To assess the role of community status as a domain-specific, as opposed to a domain-general, factor contributing to children's beliefs about unobservable entities, we compared children's beliefs about religious unobservable entities with their beliefs about scientific unobservable entities in these three communities. In all three communities, younger and older children were confident that unobservable religious and scientific entities exist. However, compared to children in Iran and the U.S., children from the religious minority group in China were more likely to justify their ontological beliefs about religious entities by appealing to the source of their beliefs. These results highlight the impact of community status on learning from testimony about unobservable entities. Additionally, the results show that under certain circumstances – notably when holding minority beliefs – tracking the source of beliefs serves as a central epistemic justification.

Too rich to be forgiven? Economic resources shape moral judgment of accidental harm

When judging a perpetrator who harmed someone accidentally, humans rely on distinct cognitive processes: one that focuses on the victim’s harm, and another one that examines the perpetrator’s intention. The present study investigates how moral judgment of accidental harm is influenced by information about the protagonists’ economic resources. In two preregistered online experiments, participants completed a moral judgment task consisting of short narratives which depicted the interaction between a perpetrator and a victim. We manipulated the victim’s economic resources (rich vs. poor victim) in experiment 1, and both the victim’s and perpetrator’s economic resources in experiment 2. We additionally tested whether participants’ income and socio-political attitudes were associated with individual differences in moral judgment of the perpetrator. We found that economic resources influenced moral judgment and interacted with participants’ income and socio-political preferences when information about both the perpetrator’s and victim’s economic resources was available. Participants were overall harsher toward rich perpetrators and just world views predicted forgiveness of the perpetrator depending on the resource asymmetry between the perpetrator and the victim. These findings extend previous work documenting the effect of socio-economic factors on moral judgment and suggest that third-party moral judgment of accident may be sensitive to the agent’s level of economic resources.

ABSTRACT:This Manuscript is a compilation of collected research analysis applied to Theory that sequesters on the who, what, where, when, why, and how that is determinate of the outcomes with the factoring of Development perusary with Childhood and Adolescense. This query of Relativity poses for contemplation as to what direction taken will qualify the identification of the Self for children and adolescents with the decisions they make that will circumnavigate the course to the Route objective for establishing a symbiotic pattern of communication that will channel the personification of the Conscience with the youth mind. This is made possible whether the CrossRoads toward achieving Self-Actualization be guided by constructive or destructive forms of methodological assimilation into a community of attachment and security that equates with a psyche-somatic sense of belonging and assimbio-spheric communitization. This is made adherent in order for the systemic processing of Self-Actualization is to be plausibly transversive by methods of a transpositing binary symbiocodum formalization of a socio-linguistic communication; that iscircum-navigational and the route course to achieving Self-Egosive relativity intunement with childrens and adolescents assimbiocodum relations to their associate community environments. From which many other children and adolescents havesuccessfully transcended through; having pinnacled the Pre:Pubescent stages of Absolutionary Development in Childhood and Adolescence.

Mind wandering assessment relies heavily on the thought probe technique as a reliable and valid method to assess momentary task-unrelated thought (TUT), but there is little guidance available to help researchers decide how many probes to include within a task. Too few probes may lead to unreliable measurement, but too many probes might artificially disrupt normal thought flow and produce reactive effects. Is there a “Goldilocks zone” for how few thought probes can be used to reliably and validly assess individual differences in mind wandering propensity? We address this question by reanalyzing two published datasets (Study 1, n = 541; Study 2, n’s ≈ 260 per condition) in which thought probes were presented in multiple tasks. Our primary analyses randomly sampled probes in increments of two for each subject in each task. A series of confirmatory factor analyses for each probe “bin” size tested whether the latent correlations between TUT rate and theoretically relevant constructs like working memory capacity, attention control ability, disorganized schizotypy, and retrospective self-reported mind wandering changed as more probes assessed TUT rate. TUT rates were remarkably similar across increasing probe-bin sizes and zero-order correlations within and between tasks stabilized at 8–10 probes; moreover, TUT-rate correlations with other latent variables stabilized at about 8 thought probes. Our provisional recommendation (with caveats) is that researchers may use as few as 8 thought probes in prototypical cognitive tasks to gain reliable and valid information about individual differences in TUT rate.
Animal-Visitor Interactions and the Visitor Experience: Visitor Behaviors, Attitudes, Perceptions, and Learning in the Modern Zoo (Preprint)

Published: July 2021

Animal-Visitor Interactions (AVIs) have become commonplace in zoological institutions and facilities globally. However, most AVI research focuses on the effects of visitors on the welfare of animals, with considerably less studies examining the visitor experience itself. Furthermore, robust evaluations of the efficacy of zoo education programs and engagements for increasing visitor awareness of conservation issues, and for fostering long-term pro-conservation behavior changes in them, are under researched. This paper reviews the current literature that pertains to the effects of zoo visitation and AVIs on visitor perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes. We briefly note some of the known effects that zoo visitors have on zoo animals, and conversely explore the effects that factors such as enclosure design, animal visibility and behaviors, and AVIs can have on visitors’ overall experience whilst attending the zoo. We suggest that future research needs to more closely examine the relationships and interactions between zoo visitors and zoo animals; why some zoo visitors maintain repeat visitation over others; what the differences in beliefs and attitudes may be between “zoo visitors” and “non-zoo visitors” (i.e., other general public); and to make a concerted effort to understand: (1) what visitors are doing after they leave the zoo, and (2) whether visitors are adopting long-term pro-conservation behaviors into their daily lives. We further suggest that future research needs to start investigating indirect measures related to the visitor experience, such as: (a) individual conservation support outside of the zoo; (b) internet activity; (c) changes in sustainable purchasing practices related to knowledge gains; (d) financial investment in sustainable or ethical companies after knowledge gains; (e) and the longitudinal effects of zoo visits.
