Evaluating Rwanda Polytechnic Graduates’ Self-assessment on the Application of Soft Skills in the Workplace.
Authors: Uwayezu Jean Claude , Nkurikiyimfura Jean Bosco
Published: February 2024

The global appreciation for graduates possessing strong soft skills is evident, especially in the evolving nature of the engineering workplace. However, studies across the world highlighted a disconnect between employers’ expectations and the soft skills of entry-level engineers, impacting their employability. This research evaluated the Rwanda Polytechnic graduates’ self-assessment regarding the application of soft skills in the workplace. A survey on 107 graduates, after piloting soft skills and career development training, utilized a semi-structured questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale and open-ended questions. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, graphs, and thematic analysis. The results indicated that graduates attested a high application of professional ethics and time management skills (M=4.38, SD=0.66) and communication skills (M=4.29, SD=0.70). On the other hand, professional writing, management, leadership skills, and interpersonal abilities scored a moderate level of application (3.41<M<4.20). Qualitative responses underscored the importance of soft skills in determining the level of graduates’ performance in the workplace. However, it was also emphasized that there is a need to reinforce computer literacy, collaboration skills, and time management skills. The findings of the present study underscored a meaningful connection between soft skills needed in the current and future engineering workplace and soft skills applied by the graduates. It is recommended that training institutions collaborate with industries to identify the precise soft skills needed to plan for effective training. Future researches in the form of experimental and correlational studies are recommended for getting a clear impact of specific soft skills on the graduates’ performance in the workplace.
Enhancing Local Retribution as a Key Source of Local Revenue
Authors: Rachman Ellys
Published: February 2024

Retribution serves as a pivotal source of revenue for the State, distinguishing itself from taxes through the provision of a direct reciprocal value to the payer. In essence, individuals or entities paying retribution receive a tangible benefit or service in return, a concept fundamentally different from the general revenue-generating nature of taxes. This study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach to explore the dynamics of retribution and its impact on the revenue generation of Gorontalo City. Utilizing financial data specific to this locale, the research zeroes in on the local government of Gorontalo City as its primary sample, employing documentation methods to collect and analyze data. The analysis process encompasses verification, categorization, in-depth analysis, and meticulous organization of data to identify strategic issues and opportunities. The study further integrates SWOT analysis as a strategic tool to outline the current landscape and pinpoint areas for improvement. A key recommendation emerging from this research is the imperative for relevant local government units, specifically the Regional Work Unit (RWU), to enhance the management, supervision, and provision of guidance related to local retribution payments. By doing so, Gorontalo City can significantly improve the efficiency of its retribution collection processes, thereby fostering sustainable growth in local revenue streams. This comprehensive approach not only aims at optimizing current operations but also at securing long-term financial stability for the region through improved retribution management practices.

Material and Spiritual Aid from the Catholic Church of Poland to Ukraine in the Face of Russian Aggression that Began in 2014
Authors: Zatyka Marcin
Published: February 2024

This article presents the attitude of the Polish Catholic Church, also known as the Roman Catholic Church in Poland, towards Russian aggression against Ukraine and the forms of support it has given to the victims of the war. The Russian invasion, which began in 2014 through a hybrid war that resulted in the occupation of Crimea and began military actions in the Donbass, unleashed a wave of refugees that in 2022 became an unprecedented phenomenon in the history of European countries. After the conflict entered a phase of open warfare between Russia and Ukraine in February 2022, Ukraine’s neighbouring countries received a large number of refugees. A year later, Poland, which had become the main destination for refugees, received the largest group - more than 10 million people, among whom were predominantly Orthodox. 1 Significant help was given to them by the Catholic Church, strongly influenced by the teachings of Polish Pope John Paul II, who died in 2005. Support for the victims of the war in Ukraine is carried out by Polish Catholics on the territory of the Republic of Poland, as well as through aid sent by them to the war-affected areas on Ukrainian territory.
Wpływ płacy minimalnej na zatrudnienie
Authors: Idczak Małgorzata
Published: February 2024

The author has attempted to empirically verify the non-linear (parabolic) effect relationship of the minimum wage to average wage, ie. Influence of the Kaitz factor on the size of employment in Poland. The purpose of the analysis is to estimate the optimum Kaitz ratio. The obtained result confirmed the hypothesis of non-linear impact Kaitz factor on employment. Necessity to maintain some caution in determining the minimum wage is indicated, because the impact of minimum wage relative to average wage employment is bidirectional. The Kaitz factor growth affects negatively the level of employment only on a certain value. The results of the study allowed to show at what level of the minimum wage relative to average wage, the minimum wage has a positive effect and at what limits the size of employment.

Authors: Andrean Danu , Widodo Nuryono Satya
Published: February 2024

This research describes the virtual humanoid robot R-SCUAD using the Gazebo simulator. In its development, humanoid robots often perform movements that have a negative impact on the robot's hardware, therefore the development of a virtual robot model is a solution to overcome this problem. So that the robot can be simulated before running. Gazebo is a robot simulator that allows to accurately simulate, design and test robots in various environments. Gazebo itself is a simulation used by ROS (robotic operating system). The simulation is built by doing a 3D design process in solidwork software and exported to a URDF file that matches the format on the ROS. Tests carried out on robots are by comparing virtual robots with real robots. From the tests carried out on the robot, it was found that the virtual robot can walk according to the real robot, such as falling if the robot's condition is not balanced. The simulation robot also moves according to the real robot when the controls are carried out.
Wood Type Identification System using Naive Bayes Classification
Authors: Yulianto Muhammad Anas , Fadlil Abdul
Published: February 2024

Wood, a forest product and natural resource, is a raw material used to make household goods. Some types of wood have almost the same pattern or structure. Wood quality varies greatly depending on the tree species and the environmental conditions in which it grows. This makes it challenging to identify the type of wood, especially for wooden furniture users. Therefore, wood classification is essential to ensure that the wood used meets the required quality standards and requirements. Automatic classification of wood using image processing has several advantages and can make it easier for humans. One of the image processing methods for wood classification is the Naïve Bayes method. Feature extraction technique using GLCM using contrast, correlation, energy, and homogeneity attributes. The GLCM methods can be combined to create a system design to distinguish five wood species using an image-based wood type identification system. The study results have successfully designed a system to determine five types of wood using the framework of an image-based wood type identification system. An application system has been produced to distinguish five types of wood using the framework of an image-based wood type identification system with the GLCM feature extraction method and the Naive Bayes classification method. The application system successfully identified wood species with a test accuracy rate of 88%.
Implementation of Behavior Based Robotics on Hexapod Legged Robot Based on Room Mapping
Authors: Salsabila Zahra , Widodo Nuryono Satya
Published: February 2024

The Indonesian Fire Fighting Robot Contest (KRPAI) has a mission to extinguish fires quickly, with various kinds of points and bonuses to be taken. The robot used in this research is a 6-legged robot (Hexapod). The problem faced today is the robot's ability to navigate the room, the robot still has to enter the same room, especially in room 1 (a room with 2 doors) so that the Arbitrary Start bonus or Variable Door location which prohibits the robot from entering the same room cannot be obtained. There is also a Room Factor bonus obtained using the JTS (Segment Distance) method which is an additional bonus when the robot walks outside the room. It is necessary to develop a room mapping algorithm with behavior based so that the robot can get maximum points. The main sensor used is the IMU BNO055 sensor as a robot direction orientation sensor, as well as a proximity sensor as a wall search sensor, so that the robot can know the direction when leaving and exploring the room, knowing the starting room, and ensuring the next room entered is a different room. The results of the test successfully made the robot take maximum points in the race.

„Orbii care cântă cântece cu poveşti şi minuni” sau despre intertextualitate la Cervantes şi Homer
Authors:   Institutul de Lingvistică „Iorgu Iordan – Alexandru Rosetti” al Academiei Române, Celac Victor
Published: February 2024

In this article I deal with some small fragments from the renowned novel Don Quixote by the Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes. I argue that significant connections can be established with the universe of the Homeric epics and, subsidiarily, with a passage from the writings of the French philosopher Blaise Pascal. These connections represent, by definition, the level of intertextuality, particularly challenging the imagination of those who approach and let themselves be conquered by the universe of the most famous errant knight.
Intertextuality is a central concept in the theory of literature, without being limited to this – it is applicable to various other artistic fields: cinematography, music, architecture, sculpture, painting, etc. This concept has been proposed and developed during the second half of the 20th century, through the founding contributions of specialists and thinkers such as Julia Kristeva (1969, 1974), Gérard Genette (1982), or Michael Riffaterre (1971, 1979).
Noțiunea de inscripționare în antropologia absenței (I)
Authors:   Institutul de Istorie „A.D. Xenopol” al Academiei Române – Filiala Iași, Mihalache Andi
Published: February 2024

This article is the first part of an essay on the notion of marking, belonging to the anthropology of absence. We believe the essay to be the best formal approach to this topic and have therefore tried to support our view by examining various theories on the relevance of subjective knowledge in search of the fundaments of (human) truth. The present attempt proceeds by engaging in a dialogue of ideas with numerous other authors interested in themes such as loss, absence, marking, memory process, oblivion, death anticipation, therapeutic life stories. In so doing, we have tried to let other voices pronounce their expertise on the matter.
We insisted on the deep analysis of absence versus loss, and on the scrutiny of the virtually infinite ways in which human mind is marked (hence, the notion of marking used in the title) by the perceived absence of anything that would have been of major importance to the victim of the loss.
Making use of a very large quantity of quotations from recent and up to date works of writers, as well as historians, art scholars, scientists or literary critics who have pondered over some related aspects of absence as a main phenomenon in mankind’s representations, this article tries to identify the finest nuances, the only ones that may really matter within such a delicate topic. It is intended as an interrogation, as much as a hermeneutic reflection on the stupendous cultural signature of absence.
NOVO ENSINO MÉDIO E O PENSAMENTO CRÍTICO:
Authors: Calixto Vivian dos Santos
Published: February 2024

We are immersed in a complex and multifaceted scenario, in which curricular (de)forms have enabled the emergence of some intentions that were submerged by a certain temporal gap, especially when we consider the imposed by the NEM Law. Given this context, it was intended to weave a comprehensive exercise about the NEM phenomenon, focusing on the conditions of possibility of approximation/distancing from the theoretical/methodological references of the CP. From this movement, six photographs emerged: Changes in the LDB; Tool for implementing the BNCC; Increased workload; (de)training itineraries; Notorious Know; Professional Education. From the explicit photographs, the scene of a film is sketched in which the aforementioned normative is constituted by a set of anachronistic/nefarious theoretical/methodological assumptions that potentiate the gaps between the public and the private, in addition to impoverishing the power of social transformation of the Education. In the meantime, the elaboration of strategies to promote the CP is outlined as a powerful option to recontextualize the imposed reform.

Strategies for the Sustainable Development of Tourism in the CIPCA: Zoning and Conservation of Resources
Authors: Ríos María Germania Gamboa , Ramos Daniela Zulay Tapia , Villacrés Johana Isamar Montoya , Fernández Isabel María Valdivia , Orozco Danny Patricio Gamboa
Published: February 2024

This project, carried out at the Amazon Research, Postgraduate and Conservation Center, focused on carrying out a local tourism diagnosis. The tourism potential, functional tourist areas were identified according to territorial characteristics and environmental use and protection actions. The documentary and descriptive research provided general data, service offering, basic infrastructure, governance, receiving community and demand. The results indicated that the site has optimal conditions in terms of physical characteristics, services and tourist facilities.

Through the SWOT analysis, offensive strategies were generated for adequate tourism development. The inventory of attractions revealed four natural and fourteen cultural, classifying them into hierarchies II (65%), hierarchy I (34%), and resources (1%). Georeferencing and documentary research allowed us to establish three zones: Preservation (primary forest) for scientific tourism and ecotourism, Conservation (secondary forest) for adventure tourism and ecotourism, and Development (productive area) for agrotourism and scientific tourism. Specific tourist activities were defined for each site, with strategies and actions for the proper use and management of its components.

In summary, the project proposes a zoning approach with specific tourist activities, turning the site into a destination conducive to alternative tourism aimed at a demand with special interests that seeks to combine learning, environmental conservation and fun.

Vater-in-waiting

Kommt ein Kind auf die Welt, ist das schön – macht aber Arbeit. Das hat der Unionsgesetzgeber erkannt und den sogenannten Vaterschaftsurlaub zur Entlastung nach der Geburt normiert. Den nationalen Gesetzgeber konnte das bislang – trotz abgelaufener Umsetzungsfrist und Vertragsverletzungsverfahren – nicht zum Handeln bewegen. Das ist nicht nur ärgerlich für Eltern und unionsrechtswidrig, sondern offenbart auch ein tiefergreifendes Unvermögen, Zeitinteressen von Eltern normativ angemessen zu berücksichtigen. Es ist daher dringend an der Zeit, dass der Gesetzgeber sein Handeln an einem verfassungsrechtlichen zeitlichen Existenzminimum misst – gerade wenn es um einen so überschaubaren Zeitraum wie zehn Tage geht.

Teachers’ Perspectives on the Development of 21st Century Skills in Early Childhood Development
Authors: Manzunzu Nomatter , Maera Joyce
Published: February 2024

The study focusses on teachers` perspectives on the development of 21st century skills in Early Childhood Development (ECD). The study was motivated by mixed reactions by various teachers on the competency-based curriculum. A qualitative approach was adopted in order to get in- depth information from the teachers in their natural setting. A case study design was adopted drawing on five schools which were purposively sampled to obtain rich data. Semi- structured interviews were used to generate data. The study comprised ten Early Childhood Development teachers and five school heads who were purposively sampled. Data were analysed using thematic content analysis. The findings reveal that teachers have a good understanding of the 21st century skills. A few teachers, however, conflated the 21st century skills with learning areas.
