Authors: Cordovil Amanda Letícia Souza Dias , Mattos Brahim Adriana Cristina Sambugaro de
Published: July 2022

Os exames de proficiência em línguas se fazem cada vez mais presentes em instituições públicas e privadas por diversos motivos. Nesse sentido, acreditamos ser necessário analisar os exames de proficiência indicando, por exemplo, perspectivas monolíngues ou plurilíngues em suas estruturas, o que pode levar a uma melhor adequação dessas avaliações aos seus diferentes objetivos, como também no desenvolvimento de políticas linguísticas mais coerentes com as práticas sociais de língua(gem). Portanto, apresentamos neste trabalho algumas reflexões sobre a estruturação do Certificado de Proficiência em Língua Portuguesa para Estrangeiros (Celpe-Bras) a partir de seus pressupostos teóricos mais recentes. Temos como objetivo, mais especificamente, apresentar algumas postulações do Celpe-Bras, como sua concepção de língua, cultura e proficiência, para apresentar algumas interpretações sobre a possível presença de características plurilíngues nesse exame. Para isso, nos baseamos nos estudos de Henrique Monteagudo (2012), Retorta e Marochi (2018), Coste (2019), entre outros autores. Como metodologia, realizamos uma análise qualitativa-interpretativista do último Manual do Aplicador (2016) e do Documento Base do Exame Celpe-Bras (2020). Os resultados apontam que, nos documentos analisados do Celpe-Bras, não foram encontradas quaisquer menções ou aberturas para o estabelecimento da competência plurilíngue do participante que o realiza.

Authors:   Mount Kenya University, Immaculée Mss. Uwamaliya Marie
Published: July 2022

A regulatory framework is regulation, law, rule or other orders prescribed by authority, especially to regulate the conduct of SACCO in Rwanda. Hence, the study sought to examine the impact of the regulatory framework on the performance of SACCOs in Rwanda with specific reference to the Survey of selected SACCOs in the Gasabo District. The research used a descriptive research design. The study targeted 110 drawn from two categories SACCO staff /employees and SACCO members. The study used both primary data and secondary data. The primary data was collected using structured questionnaires both open and closed. The data was analyzed using a qualitative and quantitative method using MS excel SPSS. Research findings showed there is a very high correlation (r=0.943) between internal control and performance. In addition, the study findings indicated a very high correlation (r=0.823) between saving mobilization and the performance of Sacco. It was revealed there is a very high correlation (r=0.749) between credit risk management and the performance of Sacco. The study reported the correlations between liquidity requirements and performance of SACCO is very high (r=0.923). Moreover, the results established that the regulatory framework is satisfactory in determining the performance. The adjusted R square was found to be 0.887. This implied that the regulatory framework could explain 88.7% of the variations in the performance. All four variables of the regulatory framework: Internal control, saving mobilization, credit risk management and liquidity requirement, were positively correlated to the performance. Furthermore, regression indicates that any change (increase) would have a significant change in the performance of Selected SACCO in the GASABO District. The recommendation is that the RCA and other policymakers of saving and credit cooperatives in Rwanda should clear that internal control, saving mobilization, credit risk management and liquidity requirement, and performance of selected Saccos in Gasabo District, Rwanda. There should be structuralization of permanent internal audit control and verification for all income and expenses of SACCOs and should set the boundaries for some members who ask for loans to limit payment loans.

Published: July 2022

The aim of this work is to evaluate the efficiency of two methods of purification on Algerian bentonite clay. The first method was performed by centrifugation treatment, using sodium hexametaphosphate (NaPO3)6 as a dispersing agent. The second method involves a chemical purification with NaCl, followed by sedimentation technique. The study concerns mineralogical, chemical, structural aspects and a series of physical testing. The results have shown that the raw bentonite (RBN) contain (~ 59%) of montmorillonite, illite (~ 5) and (~26%) of quartz, and feldspar (orthoclase + albite), with 5% of calcite. In the purified state by NaCl (RBN-2), the mineralogical and physicochemical properties including cation exchange capacity and specific surface area are higher than the purified samples by physical beneficiation (by centrifugation - RBN-1). Moreover, the treatment with NaCl increased the montmorillonite content of the bentonite from 56 % to 100%. The quartz impurities were totally removed in RBN-2, whereas impurities (quartz + feldspar) were still observed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD). Finally, the results obtained from the morphological, mineralogical and chemical characterization confirm that the bentonite RBN -2 was more effective , and it has promise as an engineering material compared to the RBN and RBN-1, indicating its possible application in various industrial applications.
A New Robust Adaptive Algorithm for Second Order Blind Source Separation
Authors: Bekhtaoui Zineb , Abed-Meraim Karim , Meche Abdelkrim , Thameri Messaoud
Published: July 2022

This paper deals with the adaptive blind source separation problem in presence of impulsive noise. New algorithms extending the well known SOBI method from batch to adaptive scheme are introduced. At first, the standard Gaussian noise case is considered, leading to our first algorithm referred to as Adaptive SOBI (A-SOBI). Later on, a robust version of A-SOBI, referred to as RA-SOBI is derived to handle the impulsive noise case. RA-SOBI relies on robust subspace tracking for the whitening stage together with robust correlation estimation for the separation stage. All proposed algorithms are of relatively low complexity and allow to achieve good separation quality as illustrated by our simulation results.

Published: July 2022

Objective: To evaluate the suitability of minjingu N10P18K24 top-dressed with minjingu CAN27% N fertilizer blends for tobacco yield and quality. Methods: The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design in 3 sites during the 2020-2021 farming season at Mtanila (Chunya), Tumbi (Tabora) and Songambele (Urambo). The experiment was done 3 times and used 5 types of treatment as described below: T1=standard N10P18K24+standard CAN27%, T2=minjingu N10P18K24+minjingu CAN27%, T3=minjingu N10P18K24 standard CAN27%, T4=standard N10P18K24 minjingu CAN27% and T5=Absolute control. The plot measured was 6m×6m. Tobacco variety (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. K326) seed sourced from the Tobacco Research Institute of Tanzania was used in the experiment. Seedbeds were first raised in a nursery with a spacing of 1.5×20m before being transplanted in field plots after 60 days. Basal application of N10P18K24 fertilizer was done a week after transplanting tobacco seedlings, followed by top-dressing CAN27N% fertilizer 2 weeks after application of N10P18K24 fertilizer. All agronomic management procedures were strictly observed. Results: Across the sites, the tobacco plants fertilized with minjingu basal N10P18K24 fertilizer and top-dressed with minjingu CAN27% (T2) yielded 1942.59kg ha-1 of dry tobacco leaf, which did not significantly (P≤0.001) differ with the yield of 2033.64kg ha-1 from plots fertilized with the standard N10P18K24 and top-dressed with the standard CAN27% (T1). The tobacco plants fertilized with standard N10P18K24 and top dressed with minjingu CAN27% produce higher yields of dry leaf (1738.88kg ha-1). This indicates that minjingu CAN27% fertilizer significantly contributed to the increased yield when applied in combination with minjingu N10P18K24. Conclusion: Minjingu N10P18K24 and minjingu CAN27% yielded tobacco plants that were not significantly different to those yielded by application of standard N10P18K24 and standard CAN27%. Additionally, the minjingu CAN27% contributed significantly to the dry leaf yield and quality of the tobacco.

Authors: Ragini Anu
Published: July 2022

In order to understand the major difficulties businesses are having managing their brands during the current economic downturn, a study of the effects on the professional backgrounds of persons in charge of the brands as well as the approach and selection of brand strategies has been conducted. The article places a strong emphasis on the necessity to conceive the brand in a global market and the significance of focus in brand management, particularly in a setting of recession. In order to determine which aspects of co-creation value and brand management are more relevant in the targeted setting, as well as to identify and analyse the important abilities that brand managers need to develop in times of uncertainty. The technique is based on a qualitative approach that focuses on how marketing executives from the middle and top management see and conduct brand management. This is done via in-depth interviews and associated materials. It would be advantageous to combine these findings with the viewpoint of the major marketing and brand management consulting agencies and conduct a comparison analysis regarding the topic under study. Results need to be duplicated and validated in many businesses, from various economic sectors.

Authors:   Korea Society of Public Design, Kim Ji-Yu
Published: July 2022

The development of transportation in the diversified and diversified urban environment also occurs, and the importance of traffic safety for drivers and pedestrians continues to emerge. It is very important to consider strategic projects as basic local governments are establishing promotion plans centered on implementation plans by reflecting the problems of the realistic urban environment at the spatial management level. Bucheon-si is a densely populated city and is developing a cultural perspective, and it is trying to create a safe environment through active cooperation with the light rail department to prevent accidents of various classes such as pedestrian traffic accidents, children, and the elderly. In order to evaluate traffic safety design projects, elements were derived and evaluated by categorizing safety design principles and public design project evaluation indicators, and Bucheon-si showed insignificant response status for all traffic safety strategic projects except for traffic safety in child protection zones. Therefore, when establishing a traffic safety design strategic project, it was concluded that an indicator that can preferentially evaluate the matters of safety is needed.
Extension’s Potential to Respond to Suburban Food Insecurity
Authors: Remley Daniel T. , Sweeney Glennon , Fox Julie , Meadows Laquore J.
Published: July 2022

Between 2000 and 2013, the suburbs in the country’s largest metro areas saw their low-income population grow twice as fast as primary urban cities. In 2018, the Pew Research Center reported that poverty increased more sharply in suburbs than in urban and rural counties (Parker et al., 2018). The rise in suburban poverty coincides with an increasing prevalence of food insecurity. The social and physical environments of suburban communities pose unique food-related challenges for the suburban poor. Awareness and stigmatization of food assistance programs, lack of transportation options, access to food pantries, and limited community gardens are examples of challenges that many families face. With a growing suburban population facing poverty and food insecurity, Extension is positioned to address the complex problem of suburban food insecurity through community-engaged research and education involving the areas of family and consumer sciences, community development, agriculture and natural resources, and 4-H youth development.
First Things First: Assessing Needs, Comfort, and Role Clarity for Physical Activity Promotion
Authors: Balis Laura E. , Strayer III Thomas E. , Harden Samantha M.
Published: July 2022

Extension has recently begun delivering physical activity programs, but delivering evidence-based interventions is a challenge. To increase adoption of evidence-based interventions, a better understanding of agents’ perceptions and needs is necessary. The purpose of this research was to conduct a readiness assessment to identify organizational factors and agent perceptions that speed or impede uptake of evidence-based physical activity programs. Data were gathered from agents through a sequential mixed-methods design informed by the RE-AIM (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, maintenance) framework. A survey assessed current work status, demographic variables, physical activity levels, and time spent on programming tasks. Semi-structured focus group questions included current physical activity programs, integration of physical activity into current programs, and barriers and facilitators of physical activity programming. Agents were willing to adopt physical activity programs into their schedule but experienced barriers. Notably, agents perceived a lack of training and evaluation tools for measuring impact. As for organizational factors, “physical activity” was not in their job descriptions, and integrating physical activity with nutrition programs was perceived as a better fit within the USDA-funded system. Understanding the factors that impede adoption is critical for ensuring physical activity program uptake to influence public health behaviors.

Authors: Seitz Holli H. , Parker Julie C. , Hanna Heather L. , Hooge Ginger C.
Published: July 2022

This research employed a matched-pairs randomized field experiment design to evaluate a classroom-based health education intervention for pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten children in a rural region of the southeastern United States. Schools were matched on demographic characteristics, then one school from each pair was randomly assigned to the treatment group and one to the delayed treatment group. The intervention included a field trip experience and an integrated curriculum designed to increase knowledge about nutrition, physical activity, and sleep. Staff conducted individual assessments of changes in knowledge with a random sample of children from each classroom (252 children from treatment classrooms; 251 children from delayed treatment classrooms). We used a multilevel linear regression with maximum likelihood estimation to incorporate the effects of clustering at the classroom and school level while examining the effects of the intervention on individual assessment change scores. During the intervention period, an estimated 3,196 children (treatment: 1,348 students in 68 classrooms in 10 schools; delayed treatment: 1,848 students in 86 classrooms in 10 schools) participated in the intervention. Children in the treatment group had significantly larger assessment change scores than children in the delayed treatment group. Findings suggest significant beneficial effects of the intervention on health knowledge.

Economic Causes Of Theft In 25 OECD Countries: Dynamic Panel Data Analysis
Authors: DÜNDAR Özlem
Published: July 2022

There are many reasons for crime, including biological, psychological, economic, and social. The reasons for the crime may vary according to the types of crime. While some types of crimes are mostly committed for economic reasons, many factors other than economic factors can be predominantly influential in committing some types of crimes. However, it can be thought that economic factors are practically based on most problems arising from social and psychological factors. For this reason, it is essential to investigate the economic causes of crime types. In this study context, the economic reasons for theft crime which is mostly committed for economic reasons, were investigated by the System Generalized Moments Method (GMM) for selected countries (25 OECD countries) that are members of the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation. While determining the OECD member countries, the data set of all the variables (unemployment, Gini coefficient as an indicator of income inequality, consumer price index as an indicator of inflation, social expenditures, and population) included in the analysis was examined, and a standard analysis period (2013-2018) was determined according to these data. Thus, the effect of these variables on theft crime was investigated for the period 2013-2018. In the literature, economic variables were mostly used in the studies on the subject, but there were not many studies investigating the effect of the social expenditure variable on theft crime. For this reason, it is thought that the study will contribute to the literature. According to the system GMM analysis results, while unemployment, inflation (consumer price index), and the Gini coefficient positively affect theft crime, social expenditures and population variables have no effect.

In the past, the jungle babbler (Turdoides striata), a species of endemic avian species in India, was referred to as the 'seven sisters' since it forms groups of 2-20 individuals. To begin the fieldwork, about 222 acres covering the area of the university campus were divided into three major habitat types: open scrub, dry deciduous, and urbanized. During the survey of jungle babblers, we monitored their nests. We recorded more than 118 nests and found additional evidence of nesting in the park. The trees like neem and Ashok possessed nests at a height of approximately 1.53 meters to 5.27 meters. Most of the birds were native of our sites as Departmental area, Freedom Fighter Matadeen Valmiki Tapowan, Sir Chhotu Ram Institute of Engineering & Technology and Agriculture Field. The maximum group size was 7 of jungle babbler in particular sites and the minimum group size was 5 of jungle babbler on line transect. Data of habitat variables were also collected at the particular sites of jungle babbler sighted on point count and line transect method and population of jungle babbler were estimated by total count.

Personal and motivational determinants of piano student performance in the context of self-determination theory
Authors: Franceschi Ivana , Ercegovac Ina
Published: July 2022

The aim of this study was to examine the contribution of personality traits and different types of motivation to explaining individual differences in piano student performance and satisfaction of basic psychological needs in an academic context. The research was conducted in 2017 on a sample of piano students (N = 92) attending four music academies (Music Academy in Zagreb, Arts Academy in Split, Music Academy in Osijek, and Music Academy in Pula), making up about 90% of the whole piano-student population in Croatia. Self-assessment instruments were used to examine five personality traits from the Big Five Model, types of motivation according to the continuum of self-determination, the satisfaction of three psychological needs according to the self-determination theory in the context of music academies, and three categories of performance – piano success in the academic year, piano competition achievements, and public performances. The results showed that personality traits and motivational determinants could not predict piano success at the academy. Still, conscientiousness and emotional stability do play a significant role in public performances and piano competitions. Identified motivation proved to be important for these criteria as well. The relationship between psychological needs, motivation, and personality traits pointed to the significant role of the intellect, agreeableness, and intrinsic motivation, which proved to be important for satisfying the needs for relatedness and autonomy.

Authors: Cintulová Lucia Ludvigh , Buzalová Szilvia
Published: July 2022

Cele: Celem badania była prezentacja rozwoju historycznego oraz analiza zmian w świadczeniach socjalnych na Słowacji realizowanych w ramach zabezpieczenia społecznego, pomocy społecznej oraz usług społecznych.Metody: W badaniach posłużono się techniką wywiadu. Przeprowadzono rozmowy z dyrektorami niepublicznych placówek pomocy społecznej, których organizatorami są instytucje kościelne. Badana grupa składała się z 41 kierowników ośrodków opieki, a zebranie danych odbyło się pod koniec 2019 roku. Na podstawie zgromadzonych danych dokonany analizy rozwoju usług społecznych. W części ilościowej badania wykorzystano chi-test do prześledzenia zmian rodzajów świadczonych usług, liczby placówek oraz uregulowań prawnych.Wyniki: Wyniki badań pozwoliły ujawnić zmiany w usługach społecznych, które dokonały się pod wpływem nowelizacji prawa socjalnego. Rezultatem tych zmian jest szybki spadek liczby niskoprogowych usług socjalnych, ośrodków opieki dziennej dla seniorów oraz wzrost liczby osób wykluczonych i starszych w okresie 10 lat poprzedzających badanie.Wnioski: Transformacja usług socjalnych zmieniła formę tego typu świadczeń. Rozwój ten nie doprowadził jednak do harmonizacji opieki zdrowotnej i społecznej na Słowacji w celu zaspokojenia potrzeby trwałej opieki długoterminowej dla osób starszych i niesamodzielnych.

Heroizm i melancholia "Księgi ciszy" Józefa Stanisława Wierzbickiego
Authors: Gołębiowski Michał
Published: July 2022

Artykuł dokonuje analizy Księgi ciszy, zbioru poezji autorstwa Józefa Stanisława Wierzbickiego, który ukazał się drukiem w 1914 roku. Przyjętym punktem wyjścia do interpretacji dzieła jest kolejno polska tradycja liryki refleksyjno-filozoficznej, klasycyzm charakterystyczny dla poetyki parnasizmu oraz zjawisko tzw. poezji metafizycznej. Czytana w ten sposób Księga ciszy ukazuje późnomodernistyczną kreację podmiotu lirycznego rozpiętego pomiędzy melancholią i heroizmem. Obie te postawy jawią się jako odzew człowieka początków XX wieku na kryzys metafizycznego obrazu świata.

Published: July 2022

Fruits and vegetables are widely employed in food production in India. Depending on their nature and cooking procedure, these products are consumed uncooked, half-cooked, or fully cooked, with or without peels. If these peel remnants are not further handled, they become garbage. But different studies conducted on peels revealed the presence of important metabolites, using the polar and carbohydrates, carotenoids, proteins, steroids, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, triterpenoids, and phlobatannin, coumarin, and other nonpolar solvent systems. These extracts are also having potent antimicrobial effects on enteric human pathogens. Various phytochemical elements have antibacterial, antioxidant, antiproliferative, and anti-inflammatory properties. etc. The current study examines the medicinal potential of Indian regional fruits and vegetable peels.
