Published: September 2023

In the current study, it was aimed to determine the extent to which adolescents’ levels of hope, self-efficacy and self-esteem predict their career anxiety. To this end, the relational survey model was used to determine the relationship between the variables. The study group was formed by using the convenience sampling method. The online form prepared by the researchers was shared on social media platforms commonly used by adolescents and in this way, a total of 253 adolescents (165 females and 88 males) were reached. The mean age of the participants is 15.61. The data in the study were collected by using a demographic information form developed by the researchers, the Career Anxiety Scale, the Dispositional Hope Scale, the Self-Efficacy Scale for Children and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. In the analysis of the data, multiple linear regression analysis and the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient were used to determine the relationship between the variables. As a result of the study, negative significant correlations were found between the career anxiety of the adolescents and their levels of hope, self-efficacy and self-esteem. In addition, it was concluded that the career anxiety of the adolescents was predicted negatively and significantly by their hope, self-efficacy and self-esteem. On the basis of these findings, it can be said that the healing power of hope, self-efficacy and self-esteem can be used to cope with the career anxiety of adolescents. The results were discussed in light of the relevant literature and suggestions were made for future research.

Objectives

Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration was calculated for many years using the Friedewald equation, but those from Sampson and extended-Martin-Hopkins perform differently. Their accuracy in fasting hypertriglyceridemia and non-fasting state were compared and the clinical impact of implementing these equations on risk classification and on the setting of lipid treatment goals was assessed.

Methods

Seven thousand six standard lipid profiles and LDL-C concentrations measured after ultracentrifugation (uLDL-C) were retrospectively included. uLDL-C were compared to calculated LDL-C in terms of correlation, root mean square error, residual error, mean absolute deviations and cardiovascular stratification.

Results

In fasting state (n=5,826), Sampson equation was the most accurate, exhibited the highest percentage of residual error lower than 0.13 mmol/L (67 vs. 57 % and 63 % using Friedewald, or extended-Martin-Hopkins equations respectively) and the lowest misclassification rate. However, the superiority of this equation was less pronounced when triglyceride concentration (TG) <4.5 mmol/L were considered. In post-prandial state (n=1,180), extended-Martin-Hopkins was the most accurate equation, exhibited the highest percentage of residual error lower than 0.13 mmol/L (73 vs. 39 % and 57 % using Friedewald and Sampson equation respectively). Overall, the negative bias with Sampson equation may lead to undertreatment. Conversely, a positive bias was observed with extended Martin-Hopkins.

Conclusions

None of the equations tested are accurate when TG>4.52 mmol/L. When TG<4.52 mmol/L both Sampson and Martin-Hopkins equations performed better than Friedewald. The switch to one or the other should take in account their limitations, their ease of implementation into the lab software and the proportion of non-fasting patients.

Machine translation from small into big languages, in our case a transfer from Slovak into German, has not yet undergone thorough research. Our goal is an analysis and comparison of machine translation (MT) and post-edited machine translation (PEMT) errors with human translation (HT) as well as detecting the efficiency rate of post-editing within that mentioned comparison. Hereby we apply a method of automatic and manual metrics by percentages and evaluation numbers. Results indicate that post-editing is more efficient which however does not mean that human translation has a lower quality. A higher degree of freedom of HT allows for more creative solutions contrasting with post-edited MT in the results.

Published: September 2023

In this study, hybrid (carbon, glass, and aramid) fabric epoxy composite laminates were fabricated with different layering sequences by hand lay-up. The effects of layering arrangements of laminated composite fibers on the mechanical properties of hybrid composites were investigated. Tensile, bending, and impact tests were performed to obtain the mechanical behaviors of hybrid composites. It was found that the layering sequences significantly affect the tensile, bending strength, and impact energy. As a result of the tensile tests, the highest tensile strength was obtained in the 3C + 3G combination. The highest load-carrying capacity in three-point bending tests was obtained in the 2G + 2A + 2C combination. The combination with the highest impact energy was 2C + 2G + 2A, and the lowest was 3C + 3G. It has been observed that hybrid composites containing aramid fiber absorb higher impact energy than others. The results showed that the layering sequences are essential in hybrid composites with the same fiber and layer number.

Grazing exclusion (GE) is a useful management technique for restoring degraded grasslands. The herbage mass productivity and chemical makeup in the grazing-excluded subtropical grassland environment has, however, received little attention. A subtropical riverine grassland was selected to determine the effect of GE on herbage mass productivity and chemical composition in Nepal. In three successive harvesting times from September to November 2020, the herbage was sampled along the six randomly selected transects of 100 m length and at two treatments (GA: Grazing-allowed and GE: Grazing-excluded plots) at three different times of harvest from a 1,000-ha grassland. A total of 108 herbage cut samples were collected from the individual 1 m × 1 m quadrats at the three harvests, respectively, from the GA and GE plots. Fences were used to maintain the GE plots to avoid grazing to prevent the vegetation altered by grazing. Day before herbage sampling, the functional groups, cover-abundance within the sampling quadrats were investigated. By cutting the fresh herbage 5 cm above the ground and subjecting it to oven drying for laboratory examination, the herbage mass productivity within each quadrat was measured. Using established laboratory procedures, the chemical analysis of herbage was evaluated for its proximate, fibre, and mineral contents. The results of the study demonstrated that GE significantly increased grass species than other-forbs, other-graminoids, and legumes, respectively, and increased dry matter productivity, which could be seen by an increase in leaf stem ratio, tiller productivity, increased coarseness (fibrous content), total ash, calcium (Ca), and phosphorus (P), but with a decreased nonstructural carbohydrate, and the concentrations of ether extract and crude protein. Research results also confirmed that GE increases herbages’ fibrousness and productivity, though the herbage quality, intake, and digestibility decline. It further demonstrates that grazing is a crucial biological component for maintaining pasture quality in subtropical grasslands and that managing grasslands through livestock grazing would make grasslands more stable and nutrient-enriched. The findings of this study can be useful in the long-term monitoring of grazing livestock in the subtropical grasslands when considering further investigations with the multiple factors in future.

Published: September 2023

This study aimed to assess the biodiversity of fungi colonizing the fine roots (diameter up to 2 mm) of 3-year-old silver fir saplings from areas of Międzylesie Forest District in Poland. It was hypothesized that quantitatively and qualitatively, mycorrhizal fungi would be the dominant fungi in root communities of silver fir. DNA extraction was performed using Plant Genomic DNA purification. The internal transcribed spacer1 (ITS1) rDNA region was amplified using specific primers, and the amplicons were purified and sequenced using sequencing by synthesis (SBS) Illumina technology. The obtained sequences were compared with reference sequences in the UNITE database (https://unite.ut.ee/) using the basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) algorithm to facilitate species identification. A total of 307,511 OTUs was obtained from each sample. There were 246,477 OTUs (80.15%) of fungi known from cultures. The genera Tuber spp. (7.51%) and Acephala spp. (3.23%) accounted for the largest share of the fungal communities on the fine roots of fir trees. Hence our results indicate the dominance of mycorrhizal fungi in these communities and reflect the excellent quality of the saplings that were assessed. Pathogenic fungi constituted a much smaller share of the fungal communities.

This study examines use of experimental Warn-on-Forecast System (WoFS) guidance for short-term flash flood prediction at the NOAA Weather Prediction Center’s Meteorological Watch (Metwatch) desk. The WoFS guidance provides storm-scale ensemble forecasts for individual thunderstorms out to six hours and has previously shown great promise in its predictive skill for heavy rainfall events. Its operational utility was examined during 2019 and 2020 in a formal collaboration between Warn-on-Forecast scientists and Metwatch meteorologists. During that time, Metwatch meteorologists integrated real-time WoFS guidance into their Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion forecast processes and provided evaluations via a post-event survey. The survey queried impacts of WoFS guidance on their situational awareness, workload, and confidence, and Metwatch meteorologists also reported subjective assessments of model performance. Survey results highlighted the importance of viewing consistency in WoFS guidance across runs and agreement between WoFS guidance with conceptual models, other numerical weather prediction guidance, and observations. The use of WoFS tended to either maintain or slightly increase Metwatch meteorologists’ workload, while also increasing their confidence (notably for events perceived as better predicted). Of the different forecast attributes evaluated, Metwatch meteorologists reported convective mode as the attribute best predicted by WoFS. Use of WoFS guidance supported Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion decision making, including the placement and spatial extent of the product and the level of specificity provided about the related flash flood threat(s).

The review established that, despite a significant spread of the concept of territorial cohesion over the past twenty years in numerous documents of the European Commission relating to cohesion policy, the aspect of forming a single generally acceptable definition of the concept remains insufficiently disclosed. Based on the analysis of main conceptual foundations and practical aspects of the cohesion policy implementation in the EU countries, which are mostly disclosed in the documents of the European Commission, it has been established that the concept of territorial cohesion acquires different contents, evolving in response to challenges that arise during the emergence of crisis phenomena, that the EU member states are facing, as follows: the global financial and economic crisis, a migration crisis caused by the military aggression of the Russian Federation in Syria, as well as a crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the course of the analysis of the conceptual foundations of the territorial cohesion policy, it was revealed that results of scientific research made by European scientists confirm difficulties of forming a single generally acceptable definition for “territorial cohesion”. In the course of the research, the need to form a clear concept of territorial cohesion for the purposes of further research of the conceptual, theoretical and practical aspects of the formation of a policy of territorial cohesion is rationalized, therefore, within the framework of this goal, the author's interpretation of the concept of territorial cohesion is given.

The article attempts to solve the problem of mathematical justification of the organization of innovation in high-tech industrial enterprises in cooperation with financial institutions by decomposition method based on the construction of a set of simulation models with the inclusion of optimization units. The conceptual model of management of innovative activity of the high-tech enterprise in the conditions of interaction with financial and credit institution which allows to make the description of the basic dependences of their joint interaction in the aggregate form is formed and analyzed. It provides research on such dynamic characteristics of the system that help maximize the market value of the company's equity as a general indicator of the efficiency of its activities. Solving nonlinear optimization problems is quite difficult, as it requires the creation of special algorithms. The task is even more complicated when you consider that the parameters of function control depend on time. The interaction of a high-tech enterprise with a financial institution is characterized by a large number of parameters, uncertain structure and many goals. The difficulty of building a model of such systems is the correct statement or formulation of the modeling problem, which requires a comprehensive description of the most important aspects of the object.

In this material, an attempt is made to form a conceptual approach to the optimal management of the creation of organizational and technological systems in domestic high-tech production within the framework of the implementation of the concepts "Industry 4.0" and "Human 2.0". A retrospective analysis of the economic situation in the country was conducted, which led to a decrease in the pace of its innovative development. The conditions under which it is possible for Ukrainian high-tech enterprises to withstand competition, survive, develop, be in the process of self-improvement, in a state of constant search for new organizational forms of functioning and technologies, new strategies of functioning, new types of products and new areas of application of products are defined. The methods of existence of high-tech enterprises are determined – the concept of survival and the concept of breakthrough. Within the framework of the creation of the latest organizational and technological systems, three basic types of general business strategies are proposed – leadership, differentiation, focusing. For the modern practice of management of innovative production from the point of view of intra-company management, the main characteristics are defined – functional, process, system, elemental. The organizational management of a high-tech enterprise when creating modern organizational and technological systems must take into account the following types of modernization: technological, social, institutional, cultural. At the same time, possible ways of restructuring the enterprise are determined. The vital activity of a high-tech enterprise in the relationship of its business processes and business functions is analyzed. A model of the organization of intra-firm management at a high-tech enterprise is proposed. The optimization of the financial and economic management system of a high-tech enterprise is considered taking into account the complexity of the modern production system, its heterogeneity, the changeability of its elements, structural diversity, and the diversity of connections between them. In general, the change in the goals of high-tech production is reflected in the content of the management concept and management structures, as the range of tasks for economic analysis related to the search for optimal conditions for the manufacture and sale of goods, economic risk assessment, and forecasting the behavior of competitors is expanding. There is a need for infrastructural changes, which are determined by the organization and functioning of special units, which are focused on the system of strategic planning and organizational support of decisions.

Published: September 2023

One of the most important challenges that appear when consumers expect the results of modern organizational and technological systems in industrial production within a certain territorial formation, is to forecast the level of the results consumption of high-tech enterprises that are being modernized. Today, the advantage factor of consumer requirements plays a significant role in the field of high-tech products and services. The need to solve this problem is due to the fact that due to various reasons, high-tech enterprises are located very unevenly. There is a problem of rational spatial redistribution. In order to solve this problem classic or modified Reilly models are used, which are gravitational analogues to determine consumer preferences. The influence of the distance factor on the consumer's choice is reflected in using the hypotheses: in the classical model is a proportional square of the distance between the centres, i.e. the organizational and technological system and the consumer; in the modified model is in accordance with the exponential law. The proposed model for predicting consumer behaviour of hightech products, which allows to solve the problem: according the known financial sufficiency of the consumer and a given "geometry" of territorial education it is possible to calculate the optimal location of consumption centres with the required level of service quality; for existing enterprises and its organizational and technological structures to develop recommendations for improving the required quality of services to attract consumers; by known quality and location of consumption centres indirectly determine the financial sufficiency of consumers of this territorial education.

Besides age, estrogen exposure plays a crucial role in changes in bone density (BD) in women. Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are conditions in reproductive-aged women in which the exposure to estrogen is substantially different. Women with a history of preeclampsia (PE) are expected to have normal estrogen exposure. Within the CREw-IMAGO study, we investigated if trabecular BD is different in these women because of differences in the duration of estrogen exposure. Trabecular BD was measured in thoracic vertebrae on coronary CT scans. Women with a reduced estrogen exposure (POI) have a lower BD compared to women with an intermediate exposure (PE) (mean difference (MD) −26.8, 95% CI −37.2 to −16.3). Women with a prolonged estrogen exposure (PCOS) have the highest BD (MD 15.0, 95% CI 4.3–25.7). These results support the hypothesis that the duration of estrogen exposure in these women is associated with trabecular BD.

Significance statement

Our results suggest that middle-aged women with PCOS have a higher BD and women with POI have a lower BD. We hypothesized that this is due to either a prolonged estrogen exposure, as seen in women with PCOS, or a reduced estrogen exposure, as in women with POI. In the counseling of women with reproductive disorders on long-term health issues, coronary CT provides a unique opportunity to assess both coronary artery calcium score for cardiovascular screening as well as trabecular BD.

Reduced language inputs due to hearing loss can affect the development of syntactically complex structures derived by syntactic movement. Cochlear implants (CIs) can provide a proper linguistic input to children with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. However, despite an early diagnosis and intervention, and the development of lexical skills and speech perception similar to typically developing age peers, children with CIs still show a delay in the processing of movement-derived structures. Following previous studies on deaf or hard-of-hearing Hebrew, and German-speaking children, this study provides first data on the repetition of movement-derived syntactically complex structures in Italian-speaking children with CIs. Indeed, as shown by previous studies, resorting to a sentence repetition task allow to analyse both the participant’s ability in analysing structures derived by movement and their memory skills. It also allows to exclude memory causes in a misinterpretation of the stimuli. Results showed that children with CIs performed poorer than their typically developing age peers and showed many difficulties in all the structures characterized by a complex derivation. Interestingly, both groups showed several difficulties in the production of oblique and genitive relative clauses.
Sindrome dell’accento straniero

Published: September 2023

Foreign Accent Syndrome (FAS) is a rare acquired syndrome caused by a stroke or by a trauma that affect the speaker’s accent. There is little consensus on the nature of this disorder. FAS is primarily a disorder of linguistic prosody as 93% of cases of FAS (Coelho and Robb,2001). The case study presented here explores a shift from a Sicilian to a North East variety of Italian accent with the aim of comparing the acoustic-articulatory properties of the FAS variety with the major varieties from Veneto. Native listeners’ perception will be analyzed through a perception test on samples of speech of different varieties of Italian. Sociolinguistic factors such as status and prestige will be taken into account. The analysis, conducted with the Praat software, has shown that the FAS speaker uses a variety that has some Sicilian and some North East traits. Results collected through an ethnographic approach revealed a typology of FAS speaker that has not identified by research so far.

Published: September 2023

Os estudos acerca da avaliação institucional no Brasil ocorrem desde os anos 80, mas tem se intensificado a partir dos anos 90. Neste período, as diferentes políticas educacionais implantaram vários programas com a finalidade de controlar e avaliar o ensino superior, e dessa forma justificar os gastos nesta área e ao mesmo tempo fornecer profissionais mais qualificados ao mercado. Este artigo busca comparar a satisfação dos docentes com a AAI em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior Federal em 2001 e 2011. A metodologia utilizada no trabalho foi uma pesquisa descritiva, onde foi aplicado um questionário em uma amostra de 217 docentes. Os dados foram analisados com o apoio do software SPSS, para realizar a estatística descritiva e comparar as médias com o Teste T. Os principais resultados encontrados indicam que comparando os estudos de 2001 com o de 2011, foi observado que, dos 45 itens pesquisados, 49% mantiveram o mesmo nível de satisfação, 4% melhoraram e 47% apresentam uma satisfação menor. Conclui-se que os principais motivos para uma piora na avaliação é a sobrecarga de trabalho dos docentes, que não tem tempo para dedicar-se ao processo de AAI, e a falta de resultados concretos do processo, já que não há uma clara relação entre as demandas encontradas e às ações praticadas pela instituição no sentido de melhorá- las.

Published: September 2023

La diversidad es un hecho patente en nuestra sociedad que exige, por parte de los sistemas educativos, una educación de calidad para todos los alumnos. La inclusión constituye el mejor medio para lograrlo, si bien pone de manifiesto la necesidad de formación del profesorado para hacer frente al reto que supone conseguir el éxito de todos los alumnos. En nuestra investigación evaluamos las necesidades formativas de 110 profesionales de la educación de España, Costa Rica y República Dominicana, a través del cuestionario de evaluación de las necesidades de formación docente para la inclusión (CEFI). Los resultados han mostrado necesidades formativas en los profesores, relacionadas fundamentalmente con la ausencia de una preparación adecuada de los profesionales de la educación para participar en la transformación de sus escuelas en centros educativos inclusivos, de manera especial en lo que se refiere a metodologías inclusivas para trabajar en los centros.

Published: September 2023

Cincuenta años de teoría e investigación ofrecen evidencias claras a la afirmación de que el liderazgo desarrollado por el director marca una diferencia en la calidad de la educación, el desarrollo de la escuela y el aprendizaje del estudiante. En el actual contexto de reforma de la educación global, sin embargo, las investigaciones recientes se han centrado en la identificación de cómo los equipos de los líderes escolares contribuyen a la mejora de la escuela y el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Este documento presenta conclusiones extraídas de una serie de análisis empíricos que evalúan los efectos de liderazgo colaborativo sobre la capacidad de mejora de la escuela y el aprendizaje de los estudiantes en una amplia muestra de las escuelas de educación primaria de Estados Unidos durante un período de cuatro años. Nuestros resultados apoyan la idea predominante de que el liderazgo escolar colaborativo puede repercutir positivamente en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes en las áreas de lectura y matemáticas, mejorando la capacidad de la escuela y por ende el aumento del rendimiento académico. La investigación amplia este hallazgo, sin embargo, ofreciendo datos de investigaciones empíricas que apoyan un liderazgo más complejo, el cual es una pieza clave en el aprendizaje del alumno, siendo un proceso de influencia mutua. Desde esta perspectiva, tanto estudiantes como equipo directivo forman parte de una dirección colectiva de la escuela esencial para la mejora educativa.

En este artículo se analiza la actividad diaria de los directivos escolares. Este ha sido uno de los enfoques adoptados en el marco de un proyecto de investigación en curso que trata de conocer las características y patrones de distribución del liderazgo en las escuelas. Para ello hemos utilizado una metodología basada en un Registro Diario de la Actividad Escolar (REDAE) que se envió durante dos semanas a 42 líderes de 39 escuelas –la mayoría directores/as– tanto primarias como secundarias de dos provincias andaluzas. Se les pedía que cumplimentaran el registro al final de la jornada escolar, proporcionando información acerca de la actividad que consideraban más relevante del día. Los resultados obtenidos reflejan quién lidera la actividad en los centros, cómo se ejerce el liderazgo en relación a aspectos como la enseñanza, la gestión, las relaciones sociales y el desarrollo profesional, así como las actitudes y sentimientos experimentados por los directivos durante el desempeño de las tareas.
En Busca de una Manera Conectada de Saber: El Caso de una Profesora de Matemáticas
Authors: Agudelo-Valderrama Cecilia , Martínez Diana
Published: September 2023

En este artículo describimos momentos claves del proceso de pensamiento y aprendizaje que una profesora desarrolló en búsqueda de posibles conexiones entre los conceptos de pendiente de una recta y densidad de la materia; ofrecemos, al mismo tiempo, ilustraciones de dificultades con el conocimiento del contenido matemático. Este estudio de caso surge en el contexto del Proyecto PROMICE que incorporó un Programa de Aprendizaje Profesional (PAP). PROMICE apoyó la formación de equipos de trabajo conformados por profesores de matemáticas y de ciencias escolares, con el propósito de diseñar innovaciones de aula que promovieran la creación de conexiones entre matemáticas y ciencias. Las “preguntas inquietantes” que le surgieron a esta profesora durante los talleres de la Etapa de Inducción del PAP se convirtieron en el motor que la mantuvo involucrada activamente en un proceso de aprendizaje, en búsqueda de una comprensión más profunda, esto es, de una manera conectada de saber matemáticas – lo que contrastaba con el conocimiento fragmentado y compartimentalizado que, según ella, había caracterizado su aprendizaje de las matemáticas escolares. Proporcionamos ilustraciones de unos primeros pasos en la construcción de comprensión matemática que pueden convertirse en base importante para el desarrollo del conocimiento de las matemáticas para su enseñanza.

Published: September 2023

Este estudio se orientó a analizar la influencia de los antecedentes académicos en los aspirantes para ingresar a la Facultad de Contaduría y Administración (FCA) de una Universidad Pública en México (UPM); tomando en cuenta las condiciones de aquellos quienes fueron aceptados y de los que no aprobaron los requisitos para ingresar a las licenciaturas que ofrece la dependencia, para determinar sí existe igualdad académica en las oportunidades de ingreso. La metodología aplicada fue un diseño mixto de triangulación, con las variantes de convergencia y transformación de datos. La población participante en esta investigación fueron 2173 aspirantes que realizaron sus trámites de ingreso a la FCA en el ciclo escolar 2011-2012, de los cuales se tomó una muestra aleatoria simple de 385 aspirantes. Los hallazgos mostraron que el tipo de bachillerato sí influyó en el promedio del examen de admisión por áreas de conocimiento de los aspirantes que ingresaron a la FCA.
A Review on Fundamentals and Capturing Petroleum Fluid Hysteresis Through Experiments
Authors: Elhaj Murtada
Published: September 2023

Hysteresis is proven to have a significant role in petroleum fluids and other disciplines for better understanding and evaluation. This shows a need to be explicit about precisely what is meant by the word "hysteresis." For a long time, the term hysteresis has been used and has attracted the attention of most researchers and investigators. Despite its common usage, hysteresis is used in different disciplines to mean different things. Thus, hysteresis has many definitions depending on the book or paper's area of interest. While various definitions of the term 'hysteresis' have been suggested, this paper will focus on the definition in the oil and gas industry. Hysteretic impacts petroleum fluids either positively or negatively. Therefore, accurately estimating fluid properties curves is vital in evaluating hydrocarbon recovery processes. This paper addresses and discusses a comprehensive review of the hysteresis of different petroleum fluid properties and their applications. This paper reviews many fluid properties of hysteresis and investigates them experimentally. Numerous laboratory studies in hysteresis are present in the literature and critically reviewed and highlighted in this research. This paper aims to review the experimental processes of fluid hysteresis extensively. To satisfy this aim, this paper offers insights into and explanations for experiments that have been used in fluid hysteresis. The outcomes highlight some missing concepts of the existing models and experimental processes for fluid hysteresis. Furthermore, this paper tracks the current development of hysteresis and gives insight into the future trends in the application of hysteresis.
