Value restructures the organization of free recall
Authors: Horwath Elizabeth A. , Rouhani Nina , DuBrow Sarah , Murty Vishnu P.
Published: March 2022

A large body of research illustrates the prioritization of goal-relevant information in memory; however, it is unclear how reward-related memories are organized. Using a rewarded free recall paradigm, we investigated how reward motivation structures the organization of memory around temporal and higher-order contexts. To better understand these processes, we simulated our findings using a reward-modulated variant of the Context Maintenance and Retrieval Model (CMR; Polyn et al., 2009). In the first study, we found that reward did not influence temporal clustering, but instead organized memory based on reward category. Further, we showed that a reward-modulated learning rate and source features of CMR most accurately depict reward’s enhancement of memory and clustering by value. In a second study, we showed that reward-memory effects can exist in both extended periods of sustained motivation and frequent changes in motivation, by showing equivocal reward effects using mixed- and pure-list motivation manipulations. However, we showed that a reward-modulated learning rate in isolation most accurately depicts reward’s enhancement of memory using a pure-list manipulation. Overall, we conclude that reward-related memories are adaptively organized by higher-order value information, and contextual binding to value contexts may only be necessary when rewards are intermittent versus sustained.
The Impact of Unemployment on Cognitive, Affective and Eudaimonic Well-Being Facets: Investigating Immediate Effects and Short-Term Adaptation
Authors: Lawes Mario , Hetschko Clemens , Schöb Ronnie , Stephan Gesine , Eid Michael
Published: March 2022

While long-lasting declines in life satisfaction following unemployment have been well documented, evidence on the impact of unemployment on affective and eudaimonic well-being is scarce. Moreover, most existing studies relied on yearly panel data and were unable to separate the immediate effects of entering unemployment from prospective effects occurring before individuals become unemployed. The present study identified the immediate effects of entering unemployment on cognitive, affective and eudaimonic well-being facets using a control-group design based on monthly panel data of initially employed German jobseekers who were at high risk of losing their job. In order to investigate patterns of short-term adaptation, the study further examined whether average well-being levels change within the first months of unemployment using a mixed-effects trait-state-occasion model. All effects were separately computed for jobseekers affected by mass-layoffs or plant closures and individuals who registered as jobseekers due to other reasons. Multi-item instruments and experience sampling were used to validly measure the various well-being facets. The results indicate that life satisfaction and income satisfaction significantly decreased for individuals affected by mass-layoffs or plant closures from the last month in employment to the first month in unemployment. For individuals who registered as jobseekers due to other reasons, these effects were smaller and not significant in the case of life satisfaction. Crucially, there were no immediate effects of entering unemployment on the examined affective and eudaimonic well-being facets. Moreover, well-being levels were generally stable within the first months of unemployment indicating a general absence of short-term adaptation.
Trait impressions from voices are formed rapidly within 400ms of exposure
Authors: Mileva Mila , Lavan Nadine
Published: March 2022

When seeing a face or hearing a voice, perceivers readily form first impressions of a person’s characteristics – are they trustworthy, do they seem aggressive? One of the key claims about trait impressions from faces and voices alike is that these impressions are formed rapidly. For faces, studies have systematically mapped this rapid time course of trait impressions, finding that they are well-formed and stable after approximately 100ms of exposure. For voices, however, no systematic investigation of the time course of trait perception exists. In the current study, listeners provided trait judgements (attractiveness, dominance, trustworthiness) based on recordings of 100 voices that lasted either 50ms, 100ms, 200ms, 400ms, or 800ms. Based on measures of intra- and inter-rater agreement as well as correlations of mean ratings for different exposure conditions, we find that trait perception from voices is indeed rapid. Unlike faces, however, trait impressions from voices require longer exposure to develop and stabilise although they are still formed by 400ms. Furthermore, differences in the time course of trait perception from voices emerge across traits and voice gender: The formation of impressions of attractiveness and dominance required less exposure when based on male, rather than female, voices, whereas impressions of trustworthiness evolved over a more gradual time course for male and female voices alike. These findings not only provide the first estimate of the time course of voice trait impressions, but they also have implications for voice perception models where voices are regarded as “auditory faces”.
Comparing single-sitting versus modular text message surveys in Egypt
Authors: Haas Georg-Christoph , Keusch Florian , Frölich Markus
Published: March 2022

Survey researchers increasingly explore the use of text message surveys as a cost efficient data collection that can be applied in hard-to-reach populations where other survey modes suffer from undercoverage, e.g., in regions with low landline and/or internet penetration. However, not much is known about how to best administer text message surveys. We experimentally compare two designs of automated text message surveys in terms of response rate, nonresponse bias, substantial responses, and participation in a follow-up survey in Egypt. In the single-sitting design, respondents automatically received a new question once they reply to a question. In the modular design, respondents received a new question each day, regardless of whether they responded to the previous question. We invited 1,081 Egyptian parents of kindergarten children who own a mobile phone to participate. We found that, compared to the single-sitting group, the modular group achieved a higher number of answered questions but had fewer fully completed questionnaires. In addition, we found a difference between groups on substantive responses. We find no nonresponse bias in both groups and no difference in probability to respond to a follow-up survey. Our results will help researcher to make design decision about how to implement text message surveys.

Extrema violência na escola: a gestão, a comunidade e as possibilidades de superação
Authors: Ribeiro Marli Dias
Published: March 2022

O artigo apresenta uma investigação sobre a violência presente em instituições escolares. Embora a violência alcance variados contextos e espaços, o objetivo foi identificar formas de superação organizadas na escola quando a violência desencadeia em homicídio dentro da instituição. A metodologia utilizada foi uma pesquisa bibliográfica com leitura crítica do material coletado e análise de estudos onde o tema da morte na escola esteve presente. O lapso temporal foi entre os anos de 2006 a 2017, com ênfase nas ações de prevenção e de novas possibilidades de enfrentamento da violência, sobretudo, para os casos de homicídios em instituições escolares. O trabalho concluiu que a superação da violência está vinculada em ações de prevenção, em novas propostas de currículo, na gestão participativa e democrática pautadas em relações de diálogo com a comunidade escolar. Esses aspectos mostram-se importantes enquanto mecanismos de prevenção em casos de extrema violência. Eles também auxiliam na ampliação e geração de estratégias de enfrentamento ao problema e são possibilidades de superação.
Evolução histórica, expansão e financiamento da educação superior no Brasil: das primeiras faculdades à expansão do início do século XXI
Authors: Henriques Francisco Gonçalves
Published: March 2022

O Brasil vivenciou um intenso processo de expansão do ensino superior a partir da Reforma Universitária de 1968, após um longo período de pouco acesso ao ensino terciário no século XX. Esta reforma foi considerada por muitos o início do processo de expansão desse nível de ensino no país via financiamento público privado. Para compreender este processo, o presente trabalho, realizado por meio de pesquisa documental e revisão bibliográfica de autores do tema, explorando dados quantitativos dessas pesquisas em uma revisão histórica do início do ensino superior até a atual expansão, tem a finalidade de avaliar o impacto da política de financiamento do ensino superior privado na efetivação do direito ao acesso a esse nível terciário no Brasil.

A EVOLUÇÃO DO GOVERNO ELETRÔNICO NO BRASIL E A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DAS TIC NA REDEFINIÇÃO DAS RELAÇÕES ENTRE GOVERNO E SOCIEDADE
Authors: Mesquita Kamila
Published: March 2022

Este artigo realiza um resgate histórico da política de governo eletrônico (e-gov) do Brasil, observando como a relação entre o governo e a sociedade foi sendo modificada a partir da evolução das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação – TIC e da utilização delas por parte do governo. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de caráter exploratório, desenvolvida a partir de uma abordagem qualitativa, através de pesquisa bibliográfica e análise documental de planos e relatórios governamentais. Consideramos desde a gênese do e-gov, que centrou suas ações na disponibilização de informações e serviços públicos on-line, até a evolução e expansão da internet nas décadas que seguiram, proporcionando a criação de instrumentos que potencializaram as oportunidades para o monitoramento dos gastos governamentais e participação da sociedade nas questões públicas, chegando, por último, na atuação das organizações públicas através das mídias e redes sociais e no desenvolvimento de aplicativos móveis. Porém o desenvolvimento de políticas de governo eletrônico traz, ainda, alguns desafios, que passam por questões mais técnicas, como a interação efetiva entre os diversos órgãos administrativos nos três níveis, e pelo aprofundamento de debates, como o da proteção de informações e dados pessoais. Mas o principal é a necessidade de se pensar em políticas de inclusão digital, para que o e-gov não beneficie apenas as classes mais favorecidas da sociedade, reforçando e aprofundando as exclusões já existentes.
“E VAMOS DE WEBNAMORO!”: (RE)APRENDIZAGENS AMOROSAS/SEXUAIS EM TEMPOS DE COVID-19 NO TINDER
Authors: Oliveira da Silva Junior Alcidesio
Published: March 2022

A pandemia da Covid-19 emerge como um desafio às antigas formas de relacionamento baseadas no contato físico, impulsionando novas formas de relacionamento que rompam o isolamento social. Neste caminho, o aplicativo de paquera Tinder passa a ser um dos espaços propícios para o desenvolvimento de contatos, sejam eles mais duradouros e/ou descartáveis. Com base em uma análise cultural das experiências de sete homens gays/bissexuais usuários do aplicativo, sustentada nos Estudos de Gênero e de sexualidade e com aportes dos Estudos Culturais da Educação, percebo dois movimentos: o fortalecimento da idealização do amor romântico e o não desvencilhamento duradouro das relações descartáveis, mais contidas pelo medo e pela solidão. Estas considerações apontam para os efeitos de uma sociedade de consumo retroalimentada pelo capitalismo e produtora de subjetividades mercantilistas. Tanto o mito do amor romântico, fundamento da sociedade burguesa e substrato para estruturas sociais e culturais hegemônicas, quanto a perecibilidade das relações afetivas, são marcas de uma modernidade líquida, com uma forma fluida, sem comprometimentos rígidos.
EL ARBITRAJE EN MATERIA TRIBUTARIA EN ESPAÑA: VIABILIDAD DE SU IMPLEMENTACIÓN
Authors: Coloma Paula Vicente-Arche
Published: March 2022

En España se viene planteando desde hace más de quince años y desde diferentes sectores (doctrinales, empresariales y profesionales), la posibilidad de introducir el arbitraje como método de resolución de conflictos surgidos entre la Administración y los obligados tributarios. No obstante, y pese a la existencia de numerosas y variadas propuestas de implementación de dicha técnica en el ámbito tributario, lo cierto es que a día de hoy nos seguimos encontrando ante una mera posibilidad, ya que nuestro legislador se ha mantenido reticente en todo momento a su introducción en el ordenamiento tributario español.Aún cuando a lo largo de los últimos años se han efectuado algunas reformas normativas con el objetivo de mejorar los índices de conflictividad existentes en este ámbito, se trata de medidas puntuales que ha quedado demostrado no han producido el efecto deseado, esto es, evitar o reducir, en la medida de lo posible, la elevada litigiosidad existente en materia tributaria en España.
A study on environmental violations for Brazilian municipalities: A limited information maximum likelihood approach to a spatial dynamic panel data
Authors: Uhr Julia Galle , Chagas André Squarize , Uhr Daniel De Abreu Pereira , Peres Renan Porn
Published: March 2022

This paper presents new evidence for environmental offenses in Brazil.  IBAMA’s strategy to deter violations is based on large operations and on decapitalizing offenders to signal its will to monitor and enforce the law, addressing the following questions: Do the sanctions applied by IBAMA, especially sanction charges, deter actual and potential offenders? Are there any spatial or temporal patterns affecting violations? This work contributes to the existing research by providing evidence for Brazil and by incorporating spatial controls in a dynamic panel approach to explain infractions against the environment. The data comes from an extensive database on offenses against flora and applied fines for Brazilian municipalities between 1998-2015. A new Spatial Dynamic Limited Information Maximum Likelihood (SDLIML) approach is proposed to address the additional endogeneity between fines and values of penalties. Results show that there is a pedagogic deterrent effect associated with applied fine values. Sanction charges are important to discourage new offenses.
Attractiveness of cemeteries versus socioeconomic and spatial development of non-metropolitan cities in Poland
Authors: Długozima Anna , Nejman Ryszard
Published: March 2022

Motives: Societies have developed a variety of services to meet their basic needs. One of them is to deposit and commemorate the bodies of the dead, for which cemeteries are used. Cemeteries and cities are thus interlinked.Aim: The first aim of the study was to verify whether cemeteries located in secondary cities with a high synthetic measure of socioeconomic development and with sustainable spatial policy on cemetery greenery are more attractive. Second aim was to verify whether attractiveness of cemeteries is related to their age. The study was conducted on a sample of 96 cemeteries located within the administrative boundaries of 10 cities of population between 50 000 and 300 000 inhabitants within city limits, that were representing various NUTS1 regions. Criteria of the cemetery evaluation based on the features of the cemetery were elaborated in terms of location, accessibility and development of the necropolis. Moreover, analysis of the current socioeconomic situation of cities was carried out.Results: Finally, the mutual correlation of indicators was examined using the Spearman correlation coefficient. The relationship between the cemeteries features, the socioeconomic development, share of municipal cemeteries as well elements considered in study of spatial policy on cemetery greenery in non-metropolitan cities has been noticed. As the result of performed analysis the guidelines on how to increase the attractiveness of cemeteries in non-metropolitan cities were developed.

Authors: Abrahem Samah A. , Siham Taha Hiyam , Abed Hassan Suzan
Published: March 2022

This paper investigated the effect of water features on thermal comfort in a central open space of a residential project in a hot-arid climate. A crowded urbanized area in Baghdad was chosen as a case study a city. The methodology relied on a simulation method using ENVI-met 4.4.5 software to create a model of a residential project and obtain the levels of the predicted mean vote as well as four parameters associated with it. These parameters included, air temperature, mean radiant temperature, horizontal wind speed, and relative humidity. For the purpose of comparative analysis, four types of surfaces were modelled, a surface with a water feature, a vegetated surface, a concrete surface, and a combination of green and blue surfaces. The simulation results showed that a water feature can significantly decrease the levels of the predicted mean vote (PMV) index. It was even more effective than a vegetated surface in increasing thermal comfort levels in the microclimate of a residential project in a hot-arid climate.

Published: March 2022

The study objective was to identify and assess the cultural landscape resources in two counties in the Lublin Province (Poland) – county of Radzyń Podlaski and county of Łęczna – and to examine the public opinion about the establishment of cultural parks within these two counties. The research procedure included an analysis of district-level planning and strategy documents, a SWOT analysis, a field inventory, and a questionnaire survey. This research was preceded by an analysis of the functioning of cultural parks in other regions in Poland. An additional goal of the study was to join the global discussion about cultural parks. The research has shown that the county of Radzyń Podlaski and county of Łęczna have great potential for creating cultural parks. However, it is necessary to improve the public awareness (particularly of local governments and property owners) about the cultural park as a form of protection and the development opportunities related to its establishment e.g. revitalisation, tourism and recreation. System-wide changes in the scope of establishment and functioning of cultural parks are also advisable.

Russian and Chinese strategy of participation in global value chains: case study (the production of led lamps)
Authors: Volkova Katerina
Published: March 2022

In the scientific literature the participation of a country in global value chains (GVCs) is considered from different points of view corresponding to several theories. Proponents of the neoclassical approach argue that participation in the chain brings benefits in itself. The concept of "economic advancement" implies the involvement of some development institutions. To date, a number of empirical studies have accumulated that criticize both approaches. In the paper, the (GVCs) of LED lamps, which are presented on the Russian market, are considered. The obstacles to increasing the added value that Russia faces at each stage are identified, and the main hindrance for domestic companies in this industry is revealed, that is, the impossibility of price competition with Chinese manufacturers. The paper provides an overview of the measures taken by China to develop the LED industry. From the above example, it follows that the goal of China's strategy is not just to increase the added value at each individual stage of production, but to assert Chinese dominance in the entire chain. This problem is solved by establishing control over its most important link and the subsequent transfer of all other stages of production to the territory of China.

Published: March 2022

Poultry is poorly adapted to high temperature parameters of the environment, the greater the body weight and density of the poultry, the more pronounced the consequences of heat stress are. It is possible to avoid the negative effect of heat stress on the physiological parameters and health of poultry by using specific and non-specific drugs. The studies presented in the article were carried out according to generally accepted methods. As a result, it was found that under experimental conditions with artificially created heat stress for broiler chickens, the use according to the scheme: NSAIDs with the active ingredient acetylsalicylic acid and PRODACTIV®ACIDSE promotes the preservation of the main productive indicators.
Energy feed additive in the diets of pregnant dry cows
Authors: Budnikova O. N. , Gamko L. N.
Published: March 2022

Relevance. In this article, the effect of an energy feed additive on obtaining healthy offspring and subsequent high milk productivity is established. As a result of feeding different doses of an energy feed additive with the same composition of the feed mixture to dry cows 14 days before calving, calves with an average live weight at birth were obtained in the second experimental group: heifers — 43 kg, bulls — 40.3 kg, in the third experimental group heifers at birth had a live weight of 36.6 kg, bulls — 43.6 kg. After 20 days of milk drinking, the heifers obtained from cows of the second experimental group, who were fed 190 g of energy feed additive, retained growth energy and exceeded the bulls by 1.3 kg, in the third experimental group, the bulls obtained from cows fed 200 g of energy feed additive, had higher growth energy and exceeded the heifers by 6.8 kg. Morphobiochemical blood parameters under the action of energy feed additive were within the physiological norm. However, the number of red blood cells increased in the second experimental group by 1.3 and in the third experimental group — by 2.0%, the hemoglobin content was higher by 3.6 and 6.0%, respectively. The concentration of total protein averaged 75.88 g/l.

Methods. The studies were carried out on dry cows when feeding an energy feed additive as part of a feed mixture to understandits effect on reproductive functions. The productivity of newborn calves was taken into account by weighing. Morphobiochemical blood parameters of dry cows were determined by generally accepted methods in the Bryansk MVL FSBI. Daily monitoring of the feed mixture intake by animals was carried out.

Results. The introduction of different amounts of energy feed additives into the diet provided the need for metabolic energy of dry cows, led to an increase in the reproductive functions of cows, obtaining viable calves and high growth energy during the dairy period.
Influence of methods of primary tillage and fungicides on the yield of spring barley
Authors: Yakupov E. N. , Savelev A. S. , Kruglov A. V. , Bochkarev D. V. , Nikolsky A. N.
Published: March 2022

The aim of the work was to study the influence of various methods of primary tillage and fungicides on the indicators of the structure of the crop and the productivity of spring barley. The studies were carried out in 2018–2020 on podzolized chernozem in the forest-steppe zone of the European part of Russia on the territory of the Republic of Mordovia. It was found that weather conditions significantly affect the formation of a productive crop stalk. In years with a dry growing season, the number of ears per unit area is significantly reduced. The use of plowing significantly increased the number of productive stems and the number of grains per ear compared to disc forging and direct sowing. Fungicides had a greater effect on the increase in the mass of 1,000 seeds. Analysis of the biological yield of barley showed that plowing increased the productivity of the crop in comparison with direct sowing and disc forging by 0.40–0.45 t/ha. The use of fungicides significantly increased the grain yield of spring barley. At the same time, the largest grain harvest for 3 years of the study, on average by factor, was observed with the double use of the preparations Spirit and Kolosal Pro. The increase in grain yield in these variants relative to the control was 0.58–0.61 t/ha. The highest productivity of the culture in the experiment was obtained on the option of two-fold application of the fungicide Kolosal Pro on the background of plowing.

Метою досліджень було визначення впливу попередників та способу і глибини основного обробітку ґрунту на формування продуктивності пшениці озимої. Методи. Експериментальні дослідження проводили на чорноземі типовому у стаціонарному польовому досліді Навчально-науково-інноваційного центру агротехнологій ТОВ «Агрофірма Колос» с. Пустоварівка Сквирського району Київської області. Під час проведення досліджень використано такі наукові методи, як: аналіз, синтез, польовий, статистичний. Досліджували вплив способу основного обробітку ґрунту (оранка на 20–22 см; чизель-глибокорозпушувач на 20–22 см; дискування на 12–14 см; дискування на 6–8 см) та попередників (горох; ріпак озимий; соя; соняшник; кукурудза на силос) на формування продуктивності пшениці озимої. Результати. Встановлено, що у середньому за 2019–2021 рр. найвищу урожайність пшениці озимої (6,39 і 5,73 т/га) забезпечило розміщення її після гороху та сої за безполицевого обробітку ґрунту на 12–14 см (дискова борона). У разі використання як попередника ріпаку озимого і соняшнику найвищу урожайність пшениці озимої (6,10 і 5,94 т/га відповідно) забезпечив варіант із проведенням безполицевого основного обробітку ґрунту на 20–22 см (чизель-глибокорозпушувач). За вирощування пшениці озимої після кукурудзи на силос отримано найнижчу урожайність культури, яка залежно від обробітку ґрунту варіювала від 5,01 до 5,28 т/га. Висновок. Найвищі якісні показники зерна пшениці озимої – вміст білка 13,1 і 13,3% і клейковини 25,2 і 25,5% – отримано за її розміщення після зернобобових (горох і соя). Ріпак озимий як попередник забезпечив показники якості зерна на рівні 13,0% білка і 24,5% клейковини. За розміщення після соняшнику і кукурудзи на силос уміст білка в зерні пшениці озимої становив 12,6 і 12,8% відповідно, а уміст клейковини знаходився на рівні 24,0 і 24,1%.

Мета. Встановити характер успадкування ознаки«висота рослин», тривалість періоду «цвітіння –стиглість» у гібридів пшениці озимої, створених із залученням пізньостиглих зразків західноєвропейського екотипу. Встановити кореляції цих показників з урожайністюзерна дібраних сімей. Методи. Польові дослідженняпроведені в Інституті зрошуваного землеробства НААНу 2016–2021 рр. Об’єктом досліджень були сучасні сортипшениці озимої селекції Інституту, колекційні зразкизахідноєвропейського екотипу, що були інтродукованіз Франції та гібриди створені за їх участі. Сорти та гібридивисівались при зрошенні схемою «материнська форма,батьківська, гібрид». Методи – польові, лабораторні,селекційно-генетичні, статистичні. Результати досліджень. Представлені результати досліджень успадкування висоти рослин гібридами пшениці озимої, щостворені за участі контрастних за еколого-генетичнимпоходженням сортів. Детермінація довжини стебла рослинами F1 пшениці м’якої озимої, створеними за участірізних екотипів, мала різноманітний характер. За схрещування напівкарликових батьківських форм у більшостіспостерігалося позитивне наддомінування. У гібридів,створених за участі середньорослих генотипів з напівкарликовими успадкування, відбувалося за позитивнимдомінуванням. Проведення оцінок відібраних сімей зависотою рослин, термінами проходження фаз розвиткута урожайністю зерна в селекційних розсадниках дозволили з’ясувати рівень зв’язків окремих ознак та визначити найбільш вагомі маркерні для проведення доборівта корегування моделі сорту. У проаналізованих доборівз гібридних популяцій зростання висоти рослин призводить до зменшення урожайності, а збільшення тривалості вегетації – до зростання висоти рослин. Висновки.У більшості гібридних популяцій все ж таки спостерігалась позитивна, слабка залежність подовження тривалості терміну формування та наливу зернівки з урожайністю зерна, що передбачає перспективність доборів на подовження тривалості вегетації в умовах зрошення.Для кожної гібридної популяції, що створена за участіконтрастних за висотою і тривалістю вегетації батьківських компонентів, необхідно розробляти специфічнийплан доборів з урахуванням внутрішньопопуляційнихкореляційних залежностей маркерних та результативних ознак.

Due to various factors, the number of start-up firms is constantly increasing. Social media is vital for promoting businesses, especially in this age. It helps companies to improve communication efficiency, foster creativity, and provide helpful information, among other things. Social media advertising is known for its low costs; hence it enables start-ups to launch various promotions that increase purchase intent. This study aims to know if several advertising factors, including uniqueness, clarity, and interactivity, influence a customer’s purchase intention and understand a significant relationship between these. Thus, a survey will be used through Google Forms to gather data. Indeed, online businesses continuously grow, especially as this becomes the source of income for some, unleashes one's passion towards businesses, provides more accessibility and convenience, and many more reasons, particularly during the pandemic. Using creative materials in digital marketing would help enterprises raise their brand awareness, increase overall sales, and expand businesses. Instagram Aesthetics significantly affects the purchase intention of consumers. The uniqueness of these outputs is the most important since it portrays not just originality but be able to gain a competitive advantage in the market, which reflects the operation of the business. However, it is also essential to have interactivity and clarity. The study would be important mainly for business owners, specifically those who operate solely on Instagram, to understand how creativity in advertising would help them market their business online. Moreover, this would be a powerful aid in attracting their target market and potential customers through their artistic visuals.

Published: March 2022

Gap-acceptance method is one of the classical methods used to analyze the capacity of roundabouts. Critical gap has a privileged role in this approach. Different driver behavior and local rules of traffic have key role in implementing gap-acceptance method into the local standard for capacity calculation in each country. Therefore, a reliable method for estimation of critical gap at a certain location can be of great importance. This paper presents an experimental investigation and analysis on whether it is possible to find differences between estimating critical gap using video-based gap acceptance data of roundabouts in Hungary. Three single lane roundabouts of different size were recorded for hours in different locations in Budapest and Érd to assess gap acceptance data. Three different methods or models were used to estimate critical gap and no significant differences were found between their results.

Objective: To investigate the effects of children factors, family factors, and access to healthcare services on children’s quality of life as perceived by caregivers and nutritional status of 0 to 2 years old children.Materials and Methods: This study employed predictive design. The sample group consisted of 106 caregivers with children aged 0 to 2 years old from five subdistricts in one province in Central region in Thailand. The research instruments included the Demographic Data of Parents and Children Questionnaire; the Access to Healthcare Services Questionnaire; the Child-Rearing Practices Questionnaire; the Quality of Life of 0-2-year-old Children Questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using the Chi-square, Fisher’s exact test, and multivariate logistic regression.Results: Logistic regression model accounted for 34 % of variance in children’s quality of life (Nagelkerke R2= 0.34) and 35.3% of variance in their nutritional status (Nagelkerke R2=.35). Factors predicting the QoL of children were the maternal age (OR=4.75; 95%CI = 1.16, 19.45, p < .05), and the child-rearing practices (OR=5.68; 95%CI = 1.97, 16.40, p < .05). Factors predicting nutritional status were maternal age (OR=0.088; 95%CI = 0.01, 0.79; OR=0.225; 95%CI=0.02, 2.34, p < .05), and child-rearing practices (OR=7.84; 95%CI = 1.93, 31.84, p < .05). Finally, access to healthcare services had a significant association with QoL of children (χ2 = 9.632, p < .05).Conclusion: Healthcare personnel should improve children’s quality of life and nutritional status by organizing programs to promote child-rearing practices and facilitating parents for accessibility to healthcare services.
VISUALIZATIONS FOR NATURAL SCIENCE EDUCATION
Authors: Arroio Agnaldo

Motivation, to be successful, and Natural Science Education is no exception in this context should have to rely on a rich repertoire of experiences on which to build conceptual learning by students. These experiences could pave the way to making meaning of them, which in turn supports learning. It also helps to entertain, create or re-create a sense of wonder, which becomes an authentic incentive for learning.
It is therefore important to think of education in a systemic conception, not just limiting the student’s experiences to what can possibly take place in the classroom. Therefore, the role of alternative learning environments becomes critical as a prelude, a complement to follow-up the school-based learning process. Experience comes from interaction with a learning environment.
