Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: Objective mobility goals for elderly hospitalised medical patients remain debated. We therefore studied steps parameters of elderly patients hospitalised for an acute illness, to determine goals for future interventional trials and medical practice.
METHODS: Observational study conducted from February to November 2018 in a medical ward of the Lausanne University Hospital, Switzerland. We measured the step parameters of consecutive medical patients aged ≥65 years admitted for an acute medical illness using a wrist accelerometer (Geneactiv). We also collected demographic, somatic and functional factors.
RESULTS: Overall, 187 inpatients had their step parameters (daily step count, walking cadence and bout duration) measured with accelerometers worn for a mean of 3.6 days (standard deviation [SD] 3.2). Elderly inpatients (81.5 years, SD 8.5) walked a median of 603 steps daily (interquartile range [IQR] 456–809), at a median cadence of 100 steps/minute (IQR 99–101) with median walking bouts of 33 seconds (IQR 27–37) and with 70% of the walking bouts lasting less than 30 seconds. Patients walking ≥600 steps were younger (80.4 years, SD 8.9 vs 82.8 years,SD 7.9, p = 0.050) and had a longer length of stay (7.8 days, SD 5.1 vs 6.1 days, SD 4.1, p = 0.011) than those walking <600 steps. Patients at high risk of bed sores walked less (564 steps, IQR 394–814 vs 626, IQR 526–840) than those with a lower risk of sores.
CONCLUSION: During a hospitalisation for an acute medical illness, patients aged ≥65 years walk a mere 603 steps daily and most of the time for periods of less than 30 seconds. This information should be used to build up future interventional trials or to set mobility goals for patients hospitalised in Swiss hospitals.

Published: December 2022

A partir do contraste entre passagens de A mão e a luva e Dom Casmurro, analisamos a crescente complexificação da prosa machadiana em seus estímulos ao processamento mental da leitura. Mais precisamente, analisamos o modo como obras das duas fases da sua produção solicitam de maneiras diferentes a participação interpretativa do leitor, buscando apoio, para tanto, em conceitos de “complexidade”, “priming” e “mind reading”. De acordo com os indícios selecionados para a comparação entre as duas fases, nota-se o crescimento do repertório de estímulos cognitivos que os textos machadianos ofereciam a seus leitores. Ao final, o artigo deriva as implicações dessa observação para a descrição da trajetória de Machado de Assis como um processo de aprendizado literário, uma possibilidade ainda pouco explorada na sua fortuna crítica.

Published: December 2022

Since the end of the world wars, the demise of the Cold War and the end of liberation wars in Africa, the changing character of warfare has given birth to uncertainties about how states will respond to acts of aggression in the face of ethics of war, or the moral rules of war. It has become difficult for states to conduct permissible self-defence and other-defence against non-state actors or sub-state groups, which do not have a sovereign (political and territorial integrity) to protect. In the face of this reality, it is not known how much knowledge military personnel world over have on ethics of war, what their attitude towards ethics of war is, and how they practice these ethics of war during war and operations other than war. Research was therefore conducted to assess knowledge of, attitudes toward and practices of the ethics of war of officers and soldiers of the Zambia Army.  A mixed method research was undertaken using explanatory sequential approach. A sample of 420 participants was drawn from officers and soldiers serving in the Zambia Army. Questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data, while focus group discussions and interviews were undertaken to collect qualitative data. The findings from the focus group discussions and interviews provided depth and understanding about how the officers and soldiers felt about ethics of war. The findings of focus group discussions and interviews also helped to explain the findings from the quantitative data. Quantitative data were analysed at two levels. The first level of analysis comprised descriptive statistics in the form of frequency distribution tables, means and percentages. The second level involved inferential statistics by applying the chi-square test in order to determine the relationship, if any, between the independent variables and the dependent variables using the Statistical Packaging for Social Sciences. Further, the research used Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient to measure the strength and direction of association between two ranked variables. Analysis of qualitative data begun during the data collection exercise by arranging the field notes according to salient themes in relation to the objectives. This was followed by pinpointing, examining and recording patterns within the data collected. The conclusion of the study showed that, at the time, the majority of the Zambia Army officers and soldiers were reasonably acquainted with the knowledge of ethics of war. The study further concluded that Zambia Army officers and soldiers held very strong and positive attitudes towards the ethics of war at the time. In addition, the officers and soldiers also widely accepted and supported the ethics of war, as they considered them beneficial. It was evident from the research that the Zambia Army soldiers and officers practiced the ethics of war extensively and regularly during both local and international operations. However, more needs to be done to increase knowledge levels.

Published: December 2022

Recientes estudios moleculares han dividido Sphagnum magellanicum Brid. en varias especies, de las cuales, según el conocimiento actual, sólo dos se encuentran en Europa: Sphagnum medium Limpr. y S. divinum Flatberg & K.Hassel. Nuestra revisión morfológica del material español anteriormente denominado S. magellanicum confirma la presencia de ambas especies en nuestro territorio. En este trabajo se detallan los caracteres morfológicos más importantes que las diferencian y las dificultades que en algunos casos presenta su determinación. Nuestros resultados muestran que ambas especies se distribuyen de forma simpátrica en Pirineos y la cordillera Cantábrica y presentan un comportamiento ecológico menos definido que el descrito en Europa central. Con los datos disponibles, ambas especies pueden considerarse amenazadas: S. medium VU y S. divinum EN. Nuevos análisis genéticos que incluyan toda el área de distribución de estas especies serían de gran valor para esclarecer las dudas que aún suscita este complejo en el sur de Europa.

Based on recent molecular studies, Sphagnum magellanicum is segregated into several species. According to present knowledge, only two of them are found in Europe: S. medium Limpr. and S. divinum Flatberg & K.Hassel. Our morphological review of the Spanish material previously called S. magellanicum, confirms the presence of both species in our territory. Discussion on their identification characters and morphological variation are provided. Both species occur sympatrically in Pyrenees and Cantabrian Mountains and the ecological behavior is less clear than described in Central Europe. With the available information S. medium is VU and S. medium EN. New genetical analysis covering the whole distribution area of the species would be of great value to solve remaining doubts about this complex in Southern Europe.

Use of zeolites in wastewater remediation
Authors: Kinoti Ismael Kithinji , M’thiruaine Cyprian Muturia , Marangu Josheph Mwiti
Published: December 2022

Huge amounts of wastewater in low and lower-middle-income countries is released into the environment in untreated forms due to an increase in anthropogenic activities and disposal in water bodies. Pollution in water ecosystems results in water scarcity and crisis if effective and sustainable water treatment technologies are not adopted. Due to their abundance, cost-effective synthesis, and high contaminant removal capacities, zeolites have been considered as green and effective wastewater remediation materials. This paper presents an overview of the methods of synthesis, types, and efficiencies of zeolitic materials reported in wastewater remediation. In a state-of-the-art review, the latest data, discussion, conclusions, recommendations, and future perspectives are presented. In summary, synthetic zeolites are preferable in wastewater remediation because their structural characteristics can be fine-tuned at synthesis. In addition, synthetic zeolites can be tailored to remove specific contaminants based on ionic size, charge or type. The most common method of zeolite synthesis that has been reported is hydrothermal synthesis, which simulates the natural conditions of formation of zeolites. It is however not environmentally friendly due to large quantities of solvent-based byproducts. Recent methods utilize microwave radiation and solid-state synthesis methods to achieve green high-yield zeolites to be utilized in wastewater remediation. These materials are applicable in the removal of heavy metals, organic pollutants, and dyes, among others. The removal of these and other pollutants cost-effectively, sustainably, and efficiently is a great step toward a sustainable blue and green economy.

Published: December 2022

Horticulture is the fastest growing sub-sector in Kenya. It is expected to contribute the most towards the envisioned poverty reduction, and overall food security. It is generally a labour-intensive industry with high demand of skilled workers, trained supervisor and professional managers. Over six million Kenyans are directly and indirectly employed in horticulture, women constitute 75% of the labour force in the horticulture industry. Some of the limiting factors to the sector are availability of water and climate change. The current ATVETs and associated education institutions have a very general focus and there is lack of specialized workforce in horticulture. Through a consortium of 6 ATVETS and MUST we aimed to close those gaps, strengthening the capacity of the ATVETs through a strong collaboration between the education institutions and the private sector, strengthening linkages among the various actors to enable practical learning and innovation in the horticulture sector. This is being done through integrating the curriculum for horticulture, water and climate to suit the needs of the students and tailoring it to the local context. Each of the participating colleges invested in hands-on training through dedicated agricultural innovation hubs and creating strong links with the local stakeholders. To compliment curricula developed by the Curriculum Development Assessment and Certificate Council (CDACC), training manuals have developed for selected courses. The manual provides a practical way of integrating competence based training principles. In addition, tutors have been trained to enhance their capacity to design, deliver and evaluate competence based education. Problem based learning in the Kenyan context as well as joint learning session between Kenyan and Dutch students are non-traditional pedagogy methodologies being explored. While the project is still ongoing working in a consortium led by MUST is highly beneficial to the colleges and surrounding communities, and the quality of the teaching. There has increased interactions between the ATVET tutors and partners within the partnerships created by the project. Additionally, the ATVETs also created more partnerships relevant to their training and practical work.
Energy efficacy in confined turbulent flow field
Authors: Karanja Stephen , Gatheri Francis
Published: December 2022

Problem: Due to ever-increasing technological advancement, household energy consumption has been on the rise globally. This has led to massive depletion of the non-renewable energy sources due to the increased demand for more energy. In confined thermal systems, the high energy consumption is attributed to ineffectual energy distribution mechanisms. Objective: Energy being an essential factor in development, there is need to establish parameters that influence mechanisms of its distribution to obviate this problem. Methodology: The distribution of energy in confined environments is largely associated with the interactions between the fluid particles and the walls of the flow domain. The intricacies of these interactions is responsible for the diversity in energy profiles in thermal systems.  The Rayleigh number incorporates these interactions into a single parameter. In fluid dynamics, energy transfer is expressed in terms of the Nusselt number. In confined flow, . The values of the constants C and n respectively depend on the geometry of the flow domain whereas depend on the flow conditions. Since most fluids are of low viscosity, flows encountered in practical applications are mostly turbulent. This paper analyses energy profiles in a turbulent flow in a domain with adiabatic walls for and . The physical laws governing the flow are modeled into a generic equation that incorporates all mechanisms of energy transport. The finite volume method is used to discretize the generic equation due to its ability to adapt a grid structure that captures the local features of the flow domain and the consistence of the final mathematical formulations with the underlying physical laws. The discrete equation is solved iteratively using a segregated pressure-based algorithm. Results: The results revealed that the distribution of energy in the flow field is dependent on the geometrical configurations of the flow domain and the flow conditions. Conclusion: Mechanisms of energy transfer is a function of the Rayleigh number and the Aspect ratio of the flow domain. Application & Recommendation: Aspect ratio and Rayleigh number are the parameters that form a scientific basis for energy management as well as tools for designing thermal systems that enhance energy-efficacy while providing the desired thermal conditions.

Published: December 2022

As a result of the increased focus on creative mathematical thinking in mathematics education during the covid-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in the need to investigate how to assess mathematical creative thinking skills in online learning environments. As a result, a systematic review was carried out to determine how mathematical creative thinking has been evaluated in the literature. We examined 124 journal articles from SCOPUS, ELSEVIER, WoS, ERIC, and SAGE to analyze specific MCT assessments from four perspectives: assessment of the familiar mathematics context, an indicator of measurement test, assessment of the unfamiliar mathematics context, and measurement test. We discovered that (a) the most familiar mathematics context for assessing mathematical creative thinking is based on students' curriculum according to their class level, and (b) indicators for assessing mathematical creative thinking frequently used open-ended questions to gather information. During this systematic review, we identified research gaps and potential future research topics to conceptualize and assess mathematical creative thinking skills while participating in online learning activities. Researchers and teachers are expected to benefit from the findings, which will aid them in determining the most effective method of teaching and assessing mathematical creative thinking

Effects of education for sustainable development on personal norms regarding the scarcity of drinking water
Authors: Santos da Cruz Thayse , Maria da Silva Gomes Sônia , Soares Figueiredo Paulo , Kouloukoui Daniel , Souza Barreto da Cruz Erisson
Published: December 2022

Purpose: This study aims to investigate effects of education for sustainable development (ESD) on university students' personal norms regarding the scarcity of drinking water in light of the value-belief-norm theory (VBN).
Design/methodology/approach: The empirical research was developed at the Federal University of Bahia. The final sample was composed of 1,096 university students. The questionnaire was validated qualitatively and quantitatively. For hypothesis testing, Structural Equation Modeling was employed.
Findings: Results indicated that the level of education for sustainable development positively impacted only biospheric values. The findings demonstrate that the impact of education for sustainable development depends on its quality, quantity, distribution, and diffusion in curricula.
Research implications: This research is based on VBN theory and contributes to the body of literature of EDS. It suggests that individuals' values are in fact guiding principles of their beliefs.
Practical implications: Biospheric values were found to have a positive effect on ecological beliefs. Nevertheless, it was found that in order to feel a moral obligation to act, students need to believe that, in fact, drinking water scarcity is a serious problem for society.
Social implications: This research adds insights to the matter of educating the younger generation of students in view of the recent (2021-2022) water crisis in Brazil.
Originality/value: The analysis of effects of "level of education for sustainable development” on individuals' values, impacting the VBN chain to explain student coping with drinking water scarcity is an original contribution of this study.

Authors: Santos Beatriz Alves dos , Maia Anna Beatriz Grangeiro Ribeiro , Vasconcelos Alessandra Carvalho de
Published: December 2022

Purpose - To analyze the possible association between non-financial risk disclosure and the (in) existence of reputation in the most prominent Brazilian publicly traded companies considering the legitimacy theory.
Design/methodology/approach - The sample assembles 118 corporations listed on B3 and 345 reference forms from 2006 to 2018. In the analysis of corporate reputation, the presence or absence on ISE and, or ICO2 from B3 was considered. For non-financial risk disclosure, a factor checklist containing 31 risks was taken, categorized under operational, damage, integrity, and strategic risks, from the analysis of Reference Forms. A tree regression, a multiple correspondence analysis, and a T-test of the difference between means were used for data analysis.
Findings - There is scientific evidence that the companies with reputations demonstrate non-financial risk disclosure superior to the others. This behavior is confirmed in the subcategories of integrity and strategic risks. Moreover, risk factors in the subcategory of integrity risks were crucial to non-financial risk disclosure.
Originality/value - This research paves the way to deepen the early debate surrounding risk disclosure and corporate reputation, especially regarding the quality of non-financial risk disclosure.

Authors: Benevides Chaves Letícia , Vieira Corrêa Carneiro Juliana , Do Nascimento Silva Laíse , Murakami Luiz Carlos Murakami , Lima Teixeira Linnik Israel
Published: December 2022

Objective – To Analyze and compare sustainable consumption habits in the clothing segment between Brazilians and Germans.
Design/methodology/approach– Descriptive, exploratory, and qualitative research. Interviews were conducted with 15 Germans and 15 Brazilians, aged between 20 and 32 years old, in order to identify consumption habits in the clothing segment, familiarity with the theme: sustainable consumption , and levels of personal awareness regarding their consumption behavior, applying the content analysis based on Bardin (2011) as a technique.
Findings – A significant difference between the two groups was found. While Germans presented greater knowledge on the subject, which was converted into embracing sustainable conduct in the clothing segment, Brazilians demonstrated to have a more superficial knowledge, besides presenting lower levels of awareness in their consumption and sustainable practices in the analyzed segment. Therefore, it concludes that Germans have greater access to information on the theme and more interest and familiarity with the subject. Consequently, it showed that it influences their consumption behavior, presenting habits towards environmental, social, and economic concerns in the clothing segment, habits that were not identified in the Brazilian sample group.
Originality/value (mandatory) – It contributes by providing an opportunity to comparatively analyze the habits and consumption of two distinct countries, helping entrepreneurs and managers to understand the market segments better and create more powerful strategies, focusing on the value perceived by the customer in the acts of consumption.

Considerações finais: Ao comparar os resultados com os ODS, verificou-se que tópicos fundamentais para a manutenção das condições de vida na Terra e para a prosperidade humana não foram contemplados nos Fatores Críticos de Sucesso em Sustentabilidade (FCSS) com índice de repetição alto. Defende-se que os ODS sejam importantes caminhos para a implementação de ações sustentáveis nas empresas e, por conseguinte, como FCSS.
A representação do golpe de Estado em Honduras em 2009 por meio da charge de Carlos Latuff
Authors: Miani Rozinaldo Antonio
Published: December 2022

Durante a segunda metade do século XX, a América Latina viveu períodos de grande tensão e turbulência política em razão de inúmeros golpes de Estado orquestrados na sua grande maioria por setores militares apoiados, dentre outros, pelos respectivos governos estadunidenses. Esse ciclo foi se esgotando e, na última década do século XX, o ambiente que predominava na região latino-americana era o da retomada da democracia. Porém, já no final da primeira década do século XXI, o espectro do golpismo voltou a rondar a América Latina após a consecução de um golpe de Estado em Honduras, com a deposição do então presidente Manuel Zelaya em 28 de junho de 2009. Esse episódio – e demais golpes que se sucederam em outros países da região desde então –, que tem suscitado a necessidade de uma ampla reflexão em relação à atual forma de dominação imperialista na ordem da mundialização do capital, foi pauta importante do noticiário internacional dos veículos da imprensa popular alternativa e gerou uma significativa produção iconográfica, principalmente, de charges. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar as charges produzidas por Carlos Latuff sobre o golpe de Estado em Honduras, por meio da análise do discurso chárgico. Marcadas por uma denúncia à violação da democracia naquele país, bem como por uma crítica à postura parcial da mídia brasileira em defesa dos interesses dos golpistas, as charges de Carlos Latuff sobre o episódio documentaram e denunciaram com contundência a aliança entre o Congresso, o Judiciário e o Exército hondurenho na consecução do referido golpe de Estado.

Library Website Migration
Authors: Vargas Ochoa Isabel
Published: December 2022

This article provides a background on the migration of the California State University (CSU), Stanislaus library website from an open-source platform to a content management system specifically designed for library websites. Before the migration, there was a trial of different content management systems (CMS), a student usability study, and consultations with outside web and systems librarians to acquire better insight on their experiences migrating a library website and their familiarity with the different CMS trialed. The evaluation process, website design, and usability study began before the pandemic and the global shift to remote services. However, despite this shift, the timeline for the migration was not altered and the migration was completed as planned. Within a year, the library website migration planning, designing, trialing, and structural organization was completed using a modified waterfall model approach.

Dansk forskning i Dødehavsrullerne siden 1947: En forskningshistorisk skitse
Authors: Høgenhaven Jesper
Published: December 2022

This article is a recapitulation of the history of research in Denmark on the Dead Sea Scrolls since their discovery. Before 1947, some authors had already treated subjects like the history of the Essenes and the Cairo Damascus Document. When news of the manuscript findings near Qumran reached the scholarly world and the Cave 1 manuscripts became known, Danish scholars showed great interest in the material, while at the same time proceeding with caution in the light of the uncertainty of the historical background of the scrolls. The available texts were translated into Danish and several studies as well as popular books were written. After a partial standstill during the 1960s and 1970s, the publication of the manuscript material especially from Cave 4 prompted an array of new investigations into the ancient Jewish worlds reflected in the scrolls. In recent years Dead Sea Scrolls scholars in Denmark, like their international colleagues, have renewed and expanded their methodological toolbox.
Developing Awareness and Attitude Towards Sustainability Through an Activity-Based Intervention
Authors: Kaur Jagpreet , Kaur Khushgeet
Published: December 2022

The present study intended to examine the impact of an activity-based intervention on the attitude and awareness of adolescents towards sustainability and its dimensions using a quasi-experimental research design. A cluster sample of 99 participants, experimental and control groups comprising of 50 and 49 school students, was selected for the present study. The investigators constructed and standardized an activity-based module for conducting the intervention, awareness test and attitude scale for sustainability. The module was used to teach the treatment group regarding concepts related to sustainability. However, the lecture method was used to teach the control group. Both groups were taught for a duration of four weeks. The results of the analysis of covariance revealed a positive and significant impact of the activity-based module for sustainable development on the awareness and attitude of school students towards sustainability and its dimensions. Implications of these results are discussed with regard to curricular and pedagogical concerns at the school level in India.
Effect of 8-Week Circuit Training on the Development of Different Forms of Muscle Strength in Physical Education
Authors: Milenković Dejan
Published: December 2022

The aim of the research was to determine the effect of an 8-week circuit training program on explosive strength and strength endurance in physical education classes intended for high school students. The research included 60 students of two second-grade high school classes. Both classes attended regular physical education classes, where, within the main part of the class, one class had a special program for developing strength through circuit training (circuit group), while the other one had no modifications to the regular physical education program (control group). The classes were randomly marked as circuit group (n = 28) and control group (n = 32). Five strength tests were used in the study: squat jump, countermovement jump, squats, push-ups, and sit-ups. The results showed that the 8-week strength development program organized as circuit training contributed to a significant improvement in strength. The results of all tests showed a significant effect of training on students’ strength. It has been determined that short-term circuit training in physical education classes is an effective way to develop students’ physical performance.
