Enhancing Motivation to Think Critically
Authors: Chen Xiaotong
Published: September 2022

In the recent few decades, critical thinking (CT) has been regarded as one of the main thinking skills utilised in academic fields and school learning. People usually need to think critically when they tend to solve a problem, assess an argument, decide about a belief, or make a decision (Valenzuela, Nieto, & Saiz, 2011). Critical thinking is a higher-order process, which requires self-determination, reflection, effort, self-control, and metacognition (Mertes, 1991, cited in Fahim & Hajimaghsoodi, 2014). CT also can help students organise their thinking structure, utilise supported standards and finally promote their thinking quality (Fahim & Hajimaghsoodi, 2014). This is why increasing numbers of universities and school establish critical thinking courses for students. Although critical thinking is a significant ability in academic learning, some students have not realise its importance. However, the element component skills of CT are deductive and inductive reasoning, problem-solving and decision making (Saiz & Rivas, 2008, cited in Valenzuela et al., 2011), which assist students when they are studying or doing researches. Thus, it is crucial to encourage students to think critically. For many students, although they have already required the skills of critical thinking, they are unwilling to use it in learning. Facione (2000) points out that some people may specialise in CT, but they are not interested in addressing an issue within critically way.

Published: September 2022

On January 1, 2022, the ASEAN-led Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) came into effect. On May 23rd, 2022, the United States officially launched the "Indo-Pacific Economic Framework"(IPEF). The two agreements cover the major economies in Asia-Pacific region and have become the two most important paths for the economic cooperation in this region. However, there are conflicts of interest among these economies involved in RCEP and IPEF, and there are differences in cooperation objectives, binding forces, integration standard, as well as driving forces, which may lead to fierce competition among them in the process of Asia-Pacific economic integration. Based on the basic viewpoints of hegemony stability theory and power transition theory, this study compares the competitiveness of RCEP and IPEF from the background and contents. And analyzes the prospects of the two agreements from the global supply chain crisis, American foreign policy, the substantial progress of the two agreements and the geopolitical security in the Asia-Pacific region. Finally, some suggestions are put forward for China to meet the challenge of IPEF.

Authors: Sambor M. A.
Published: September 2022

The law enforcement practice of judicial bodies, namely administrative courts of different instances, regardless of their territoriality, in resolving administrative disputes concerning the protection of social rights of police officers to receive additional surcharges during quarantine is analyzed. The starting point is the understanding of the content and importance of social protection for the use of social rights of police officers. The importance of the state to create positive guarantees of social protection for the use of social rights by the police is analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the formation of a system of state guarantees for the protection and safeguarding of social rights of police officers, due to the performance of the latter functions of the state in accordance with the tasks facing this state executive body both in daily activities and during quarantine which poses additional threats to the life and health of a police officer. The peculiarities of proving and gathering evidence on establishing legal facts related to the exercise of police powers to ensure life in quarantine and the presence of direct contact of the police officer with the public as a result of their exercise of power.Attention is paid to taking into account during the drafting of court decisions the peculiarities of the use of law to formulate judicial positions to substantiate or refute the legal positions of the parties to the administrative case. The peculiarities of the sources of evidence in the construction of the legal position of protection of social rights of police officers, including the receipt of additional surcharges to the financial security during quarantine, are formulated.Proposals on the use of documents, as well as high-quality motivation of the actual circumstances of the performance of police duties in quarantine, related to the livelihood of the population, the provision of services and law enforcement are analyzed and provided. The disregard in legal positions, and, consequently, when motivating court decisions, the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine and the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police" is justified.
Legal incentives in the contractual regulation of marital relations
Authors: Bortnik O. H. , Stepanenko T. V.
Published: September 2022

The aim of the work is to establish the role of legal incentives in the mechanism of legal regulation of marital relations. In the course of the research the special role of personal intangible assets as the basis of family relations was established, which determines the choice of the optimal model of legal regulation of such relations. It is argued that the satisfaction of intangible needs (spiritual, moral and ethical, psycho-emotional security, physical development) determines the legally protected interests of marital and family members, who often face obstacles due to individual psychological characteristics of the spouses, interrelated with their property rights. It is emphasized that in establishing the legal regime, which should facilitate the choice of active lawful behavior, it is advisable to resort to means of encouraging socially active lawful behavior such as legal incentives.The study is based on a systems approach. Given the purpose of the study, methods d that generally allowed to determine the optimal type of legal understanding, which solved the problem of finding a tool of interpretationwere use: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, formal law and comparative law and other methods. Arguments are made in favor of the opinion that contractual regulation of personal non-property legal relations of spouses, which is not traditionally in practice, in comparison with regulation of parental personal non-property legal relations, does not contradict the provisions of current legislation and the essence of legal relations, and from the point of view of the legal impact of informational and psychological nature contribute to the understanding and social activity of the subjects of marital and family relations.It is concluded that the opportunity for a person to obtain legal guarantees for the exercise of personal non-property rights in marriage is an important legal incentive to use the contractual method of regulating marital relations. It is through legal incentives that are reflected in the mechanism of legal regulation through subjective rights, and the right to behave in individual ways, which are determined by the person, must be influenced. Self-regulation of relevant legal relations through the definition of ways of exercising subjective law allows to balance the needs, subjective rights and legal obligations of each spouse, as well as spouses as parents, to protect their legally protected interests related to the exercise of personal non-property rights as parents, to guarantee the exercise of the rights of the child (children) in accordance with its best interests.The results of the study can be used in further theoretical research to determine the optimal mechanisms of legal regulation of marital relations between parents and spouses, and in law enforcement activities of legal practitioners in developing the terms of contracts concluded in the field of marital and family relations.
The concept of the document in Forensic science
Authors: Sezonov V. S.
Published: September 2022

Forensics as a science and sphere of practical activity cannot exist without a document, which is at the same time the main subject of forensic research, a carrier and a means of recording legal information. A document in Forensics is a basic, ambiguous, generalized concept, the definition and classification of which is not unanimous.The tasks of forensic documentation are: 1) development of forensic classification of documents, which will be based on various criteria; 2) development of methods for detecting the subject of forgery; 3) development of methods for rebuilding the information content of the document or its holder.The tasks of forensic classification of documents depend on the development of forensic properties of all types of modern documents. The study of forensic properties of documents is urgent, as the emergence of new types of documents, including electronic, requires an expansion of the list of documents that are involved in examinations. A document in Forensics is defined as a material object with information recorded on it, which is important for establishing the circumstances of criminal proceedings. The problem of using an electronic document as a source of evidence in criminal proceedings is analyzed in detail from the standpoint of the theory of criminal proceedings and forensic science.An electronic document as a source of judicial evidence is an object that carries information that is important for establishing the circumstances to be proved in criminal proceedings, and exists only in the electronic environment in a form acceptable for use in criminal proceedings.Electronic documents can act as a means of committing crimes in the field of computer information, as well as other crimes using computer technology, can be the object of criminal encroachment or information “traces” that arise during the preparation for crime and commission of criminal acts.A cryptocurrency is added to the subject of forensic research, which is essentially an electronic document, an object of civil rights, has value, turnover, place of storage and owner.

Published: September 2022

The presence of Covid-19 was a game-changer in all the sectors that traditional learning, working, selling even living methods have changed from basic methods to something else to curb Covid-19. The impact was huge on most sectors due to the lack of experience in overcoming pandemics. One of the sectors that face the most struggle was educational institutions. For many years, face-to-face learning and teaching method have been in practice. While during Covid-19, everyone was forced to attend online classes as a precautious measure. Online learning is completely based on digital study without the physical presence of students or lecturers. Implementing such learning approaches gradually in education allows students to expose to both learning methods. Many subjects such as languages, and theory-based topics have been taught with an online learning approach; however, less attention was paid to mathematics. Therefore, this study aimed to examine students’ experience in learning Discrete Mathematics online through LearnwithEmma. LearnwithEmma is a learning platform that was designed for students in this study. During a month, students’ learning was assisted by an agent, Emma. Students were given a questionnaire that involved questions about their experience and their current understanding of the subject. Students opined that their performance significantly improved after learning via LearnwithEmma. About 77.2% strongly agreed that they excel in Mathematics after fully utilizing LearnwithEmma. Most of them agreed that they were able to perform better in their exam after using LearnwithEmma. 75.4% of the students agreed that they have scored better in their exams after using LearnwithEmma. 61.4% of the participants preferred to learn Discrete Mathematics through an online class compared to a traditional class. This study recommends that educators and researchers may enhance online learning by introducing new platforms such as LearnwithEmma or integrating other multimedia elements.

Authors: Salimon Sunday Adeleke , Lawal Quadri Oyewale , Adebiyi Oluwaseyi Wasiu , Okelola Muniru Olajide
Published: September 2022

Distribution Static Compensators (DSTATCOMs) are considered to be one of the most cost-effective modern devices for reactive compensation in distribution networks. However, the DSTATCOMs sizing and their deployment position are important factors to consider in order to get the most out of their installation. This study proposes the use of the Ant-Lion Optimization Algorithm (ALOA) for the appropriate allocation of the DSTATCOM with the goal of maximization of the cost-benefit derived from the reduction in the cost of power purchased from the transmission grid less the DSTATCOM cost for the distribution networks in order to find its appropriate allocation. The suggested technique is tested on a Nigerian Dada 46-bus system as well as an IEEE 33 bus. The simulation results for the IEEE 33-bus system reveal that the cost benefits of $ 100,601, $ 108,212, and $ 89,422 were actualized for one, two, and three DSTATCOMs allocations, respectively, while the figures for the Dada 46-bus system were $ 482,166, $ 574,546, and $ 531,415, respectively. In terms of real power loss in the IEEE 33-bus, the suggested method was determined to be quite effective for DSTATCOM allocation when compared to similar studies in the literature.

Published: September 2022

En este trabajo, se realizó una investigación sobre productos cosméticos que contienen químicos que son usados también en medicina forense. Se logró observar que en el territorio colombiano no existen las debidas regulaciones de los mismos a diferencia de varios países del continente europeo que si tienes estás medidas; a su vez, se analizaron estudios que aportaron datos relevantes al por qué en Colombia es tan complejo usar productos completamente naturales. Esta investigación se limitó a cuatro químicos específicos que, según estudios, son los que se encuentran en la mayoría de productos cosméticos y son usados en diferentes procedimientos de medicina forense. Esto fue una premisa que permitió indicar las repercusiones que tienen estos químicos en la salud del ser humano. La metodología que se usó durante esta investigación fue de tipo cuantitativa, la cual se aplicó por medio de una encuesta a un grupo de mujeres y hombres del común que se presumía que utilizaban este tipo de productos, con el fin de recolectar datos e identificar los conocimientos que estas personas tenían al respecto de los ingredientes utilizados para la elaboración de los cosméticos; igualmente, concientizarlos de ello. Es importante que las personas se concienticen de este tipo de fenómenos para que exijan más regulaciones a los entes legales y que se sientan más cómodos con los productos que utilizan diariamente, evitando graves consecuencias a futuro.

Published: September 2022

Objective: To estimate the economic impact of the introduction of a new care system based on apomorphine and Patient Support Program for motor fluctuations (“on-off” phenomena) in patients with Parkinson’s disease which are not sufficiently controlled by oral anti-Parkinson medication in Italy.
Method: A Budget Impact model was developed to evaluate the new care system in patients with Parkinson’s disease over a 3-years’ time horizon. The comparator treatments included in the analysis were treatments based on apomorphine and levodopa + carbidopa. The analysis was conducted from a National Health Service (NHS) perspective. Costs included in the analysis were acquisition costs and device costs. A deterministic sensitivity analysis was carried out to evaluate the uncertainty of the parameters used. A break-even analysis was conducted to identify the minimum number of subjects that would need to be treated with the new care system to obtain a positive Budget Impact (World With – World Without = 0).
Results: The analysis shows that the introduction of the new care system based on apomorphine could generate a cost saving incurred by the NHS of over € 5.7 million in 3 years. Break-even analysis shows that if it were possible to intercept with the new treatment at least 9 patients treated with apomorphine, there would not be an increase in costs for the NHS.
Conclusion: The new care system would respond to the unmet needs of patients with Parkinson’s disease by generating a reduction in the expenditure incurred by NHS.

Authors: Pyo Suyeon , Ryu Hyuntae , Kim Hyun Jik
Published: September 2022

We report a case of a 31-year-old female presented with recurrent sore throat and dyspnea even after tonsillectomy and repeated adenoidectomy. Hypertrophic lingual tonsil was removed via transoral robotic surgery and was confirmed as lymphoid follicular hyperplasia by pathological examination. The analysis of the distribution and the mean fluorescence intensity of T cells after stimulation with relevant cytokines showed impaired differentiation of naïve T cells into memory T cells. As such, defective T cell immunity had made the patient susceptible to repetitive upper respiratory infection.

Published: September 2022

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is commonly characterized by abnormal function and differentiation or proliferation of monocytes. In LCH, granulomatous lesions, including langerine- positive histocytes and inflammatory infiltrates, can occur at all tissues, particularly the bones, skin, lungs, and pituitary gland. Thirty nine-year-old male patient visited outpatient clinic with a mass on his tongue that had been presented one month prior. The initial size was 2×1.5 cm, but it gradually grew larger. The authors performed an incisional biopsy under local anesthesia, and the pathological diagnosis confirmed that LCH of the tongue. Several studies including bone marrow biopsy were performed to assess involvement of other organs. These tests show that only the tongue was involved in this case. The patient underwent further treatment with low-dose radiotherapy. We present this case of tongue LCH with a review of the literature.

Authors: Bhardwaj Shikha , Sharma Diksha
Published: September 2022

To understand the interplay between socio-economic demographic variables, work-life integration (WLI), and resilience during unprecedented times. The study is an effort to investigate the present state of working professionals in relation to work-life integration under contemporary socio-economic demographic dimensions and further test the relationship between resilience and WLI. A mixed method of research with interviews as well as the questionnaire is used. With 101 datasets of working professionals from India, five socio-economic demographic variables are identified -generation type, industry, present position in organisation, family status, and average working hours per week. The chi-square results represent a significant effect of these socio-economic demographic variables on WLI and subsequently, correlation illustrates a positive relationship between resilience and WLI. Based on regression, a conceptual model is proposed, that represents socio-economic demographic factors that affect WLI and WLI influences resilience.

Published: September 2022

Intestinal pseudo-obstruction (IPO) is a rare enteric motility disorder with clinical features of intestinal obstruction in the absence of mechanical blockage. IPO usually presents as recurrent, self-limiting episodes of abdominal distension, postprandial pain, nausea and vomiting. Over time, symptoms can persist, leading to gut stasis with bacterial overgrowth, malabsorption and malnutrition. We present a case of IPO related to systemic lupus erythematosus, treated with intravenous pulses of high-dose methylprednisolone. Nutritional testing should be provided as insidious progression to intestinal failure may go undetected at an early stage, especially in situations with increased nutritional requirements, like pregnancy

Authors: Chen Weiguo , Zhang Junjun , Zhang Xi , Chen Yifan , Ang Xiaojie , Wang Chengyuan
Published: September 2022

Purpose: Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a debilitating condition that is difficult to diagnose and treat. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a combination treatment of amitriptyline after bladder hydrodistension is more beneficial for IC/BPS patient. Methods: Seventy-six patients’ dates diagnosed with IC/BPS were collected: the hydrodistension group (34 patients) and the combination group (42 patients), which received amitriptyline (25 mg ~ 50 mg/d) for 3 months following hydrodistension. The efficacy was evaluated at the 3rd and 6th months by using index scores. In addition, adverse events of amitriptyline and hydrodistension were recorded. Results: There was no difference in two groups at baseline. The ICSI, ICPI, AIS, SAS, OABSS, VAS and FVC scores improve significantly in the combination group than in the hydrodistension group at 3 months after hydrodistension . After 3 months of amitriptyline withdrawal, obvious improvement in the combination group was observed only for the AIS at the 6th month. At the 6th month, the indexes of the two groups still improved significantly compared with those recorded prehydrodistension; however, there was no difference in the improvement of maximum bladder volume in both groups before and after hydrodistension (P > 0.05). The adverse events of amitriptyline all were in the tolerable range. Conclusions: Hydrodistension under general anesthesia effectively relieved IC patients’ symptoms for at least 6 months. The three-month usage of amitriptyline alleviated the symptoms and problems more quickly and safely after hydrodistension in patients with IC/BPS.

Published: September 2022

Background/Aims: Sarcopenia negatively affects the prognosis of cirrhotic patients, but clinical implications of changes in muscle mass remain unclear. We aimed to elucidate its role in the prognosis of outpatients with cirrhosis.Methods: Patients with cirrhosis who underwent annual abdominal computed tomography (CT) for hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance were included in the prospective cohort. The L3 skeletal muscle index (SMI) was adopted as a proxy for the amount of skeletal muscle, and the rate of SMI change between inclusion and after 1 year (ΔSMI/yr%) was calculated.Results: In total, 595 patients underwent a second CT after 1 year. Among them, 109 and 64 patients had sarcopenia and Child-Pugh class B/C decompensation at inclusion, which changed to 103 and 45 at the 1-year follow-up, respectively. During a median follow-up of 30.1 months after 1 year, 86 patients had at least one cirrhosis complication, and 18 died or received liver transplantation. In the development of cirrhosis complications, ΔSMI/yr% was independently associated, even after adjusting for the Child-Pugh and model for end stage liver disease (MELD)-Na scores. In addition, ΔSMI/yr% showed a good predictive performance for the development of cirrhosis complications within 6 months after 1-year follow-up in all subgroups, with a cut-off of -2.62 (sensitivity, 83.9%; specificity, 74.5%) in the overall population. SMI at 1-year and Child-Pugh score were independent factors associated with survival. In addition, changes in sarcopenia status significantly stratified survival.Conclusion: ΔSMI/yr% was a good predictor of the development of cirrhosis complications in outpatients with cirrhosis, independent of Child-Pugh and MELD scores.

Published: September 2022

Background/Aims: Due to increases in obesity and type 2 diabetes, the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has also been increasing. Current forecast models may not include non-obese NAFLD. Here, we used the Bayesian approach to forecast the prevalence of NAFLD through the year 2040.Methods: Prevalence data from 245 articles involving 2,699,627 persons were used with a hierarchical Bayesian approach to forecast the prevalence of NAFLD through 2040. Subgroup analyses were performed for age, gender, presence of metabolic syndrome, region, and smoking status. Sensitivity analysis was conducted for clinical setting and study quality.Results: The forecasted 2040 prevalence was 55.7%, a three-fold increase since 1990 and a 43.2% increase from the 2020 prevalence of 38.9%. The estimated average yearly increase since 2020 was 2.16%. For those aged <50 years and ≥50 years, the 2040 prevalence were not significantly different (56.7% vs. 61.5%, P=0.52). There was a significant difference in 2040 prevalence by sex (males: 60% vs. 50%) but the trend was steeper for females (annual percentage change: 2.5% vs. 1.5%, P=0.025). There was no difference in trends overtime by region (P=0.48). The increase rate was significantly higher in those without metabolic syndrome (3.8% vs. 0.84%, P=0.003) and smokers (1.4% vs. 1.1%, P=0.011). There was no difference by clinical/community setting (P=0.491) or study quality (P=0.85).Conclusion: By 2040, over half the adult population is forecasted to have NAFLD. The largest increases are expected to occur in women, smokers, and those without metabolic syndrome. Intensified efforts are needed to raise awareness of NAFLD and to determine long-term solutions addressing the driving factors of the disease.

Authors:   Dr B R Ambedkar National Institute Of Technology, Shahid Farhana , Saini Dr. Indu ,   Dr B R Ambedkar National Institute Of Technology
Published: September 2022

A person's greatest distinguishing feature is their face. Everyone, including twins, has a unique face. As a result, facial recognition and ID are likely to be distinct. A framework for facial recognition is utilized as validation when a biometric technique is employed to track down a person's identify. Face recognition has became a widely used approach nowadays in a variety of applications, as well as criminal identifying evidence, the telephone open framework, and, shockingly, home security framework. This system is safer because it only needs a facial image instead of other requirements like a key or card. Face discovery and face ID are the two main stages of the human acknowledgment framework. Deep learning is a way to deal with play out the face acknowledgment and is by all accounts a satisfactory technique to do confront acknowledgment because of its high precision. Its applications are wide, going from policing purchaser applications, and industry proficiency and observing arrangements.

The article studies the practices of regional industrialization, signs of transition to the next technological order and key parameters of its activation based on ideas about energy production cycles and historical analysis of technological shifts in the basic branches of the Ural industry. The factor of spatial approaches to its placement is also investigated. The possibilities of actualization of historical practices in modern conditions are verified. The possibilities of actualization of historical practices in modern conditions are verified. Two platforms for accelerating the transition to higher technological modes are highlighted: (a) the first platform relies on internal capacity; b) The second platform is focused on external extraterritorial technological borrowing and importation. The relationship between the evolution of the administrative formations of the region and industrial complexes with the prevailing technological modes was studied in order to understand the features of the historical territory of the Urals. The influence of changes in the size of the territory has been studied in the formation of branches of the regional economy and industrialization, its relationship with territorial rent and sectoral differentiation has also been studied. It is shown that the size of administrative entities and industrial complexes of the territory is associated with the evolution of production energy cycles. This predetermines the status, as well as the historical perspective of the territory, its readiness for new industrialization.

The purpose of the research. The article discusses the process of nation building in Turkey. The influence of nation-building on the transition of the Ottoman Empire to a modern nation-state is analyzed. The purpose of the research is to identify the influence of Turkism in the construction of the Turkish nation, emerging in the second half of the 19th century, and its influence on Chinese-Turkish relations. As grounds, the influence of foreign Turkic intellectuals and Turkish intelligentsia on the construction of the Turkish nation is highlighted. Results. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that Turkism does not fundamentally differ from Western ideas about nation building. It should be noted that the genesis of Turkism became entirely possible thanks to the borrowing of the methods of Western social science and the adoption of the principle of language as the most important. In the conditions of development, Turkism tries to use the principles of Orientalism and linguistics. However, in modern Turkey, Turkism/Pan-Turkism has always shown a tendency towards extremism that transcends the boundaries of the nation-state. The author concludes that dissatisfaction with the nation-state and self-identification makes pan-Turkism the desire of many people in Turkey to go beyond the territorial nation-state. A number of examples from the history of foreign policy have emerged and Ankara's repeated gross interference in China's internal affairs for diplomatic purposes.

Published: September 2022

O direito à proteção da saúde suscita um debate sobre a evolução dos direitos sociais e das políticas públicas consubstanciadas pelos Estados como instrumentos provisores desses direitos. Paralelamente, para além de um crescente envolvimento e responsabilização dos sujeitos pela gestão da sua própria saúde, assistimos à instalação de um conjunto de fatores que, estando presentes nos territórios têm merecido uma atenção privilegiada da Geografia da Saúde pela influência que têm nos ganhos alcançados em saúde: envelhecimento demográfico; alterações ambientais, eclosão de surtos epidémicos/pandémicos, acesso à saúde, literacia, qualidade alimentar ou a mudança climática. Para se alcançarem soluções satisfatórias em saúde, importa discutir a validade das políticas e das práticas que conformam o acesso, a educação, o bem-estar, que impactam os objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável - ODS e as suas metas e que ajustam os perfis epidemiológicos dominantes em diferentes regiões e escalas. Assim, o GeoSaúde 2022, pretende congregar investigadores, decisores e técnicos de formações diversas para um debate transdisciplinar, estimulante e necessário, analisando desafios presentes nos países de língua portuguesa, dando continuidade ao I Congresso de Geografia da Saúde dos Países de Língua Portuguesa realizado em 2014. Para alcançar os objetivos enunciados, o GeoSaúde 2022 reparte-se por 8 eixos estratégicos que procuram cruzar diferentes perspetivas que, de um modo cumulativo, convocam a comunidade académica e científica a acrescentar valor e significado às agendas da saúde presentes nos países de língua portuguesa. ; Louro, A.; Cunha, J.; Nossa, P.; Marques da Costa, N.; Santana, P.; Guimarães, R.

Reabilitação e turismo na cidade de Lisboa. Policy Brief

Published: September 2022

- Ao longo das últimas duas décadas o Estado Português e a Câmara Municipal de Lisboa têm fomentado políticas públicas de reabilitação destinadas a incentivar a atração de capitais transnacionais,encorajando o seu investimento no imobiliário e no turismo. - Em Lisboa, o setor do turismo tornou-se um dos principais eixos estratégicos da retoma económica pós crise financeira de 2008, merecendo especial destaque as freguesias centrais da cidade. - Neste período, os registos de Alojamento Local (AL) e os hotéis têm vindo a aumentar. Segundo o Turismo de Portugal, os AL passaram de 46 em 2009 para 19.300 em 2021. Este aumento é especialmente relevante nas freguesias centrais da cidade (Arroios, Misericórdia, Santa Maria Maior, Santo António e São Vicente) onde se localiza 71% do AL. A mesma fonte identifica que desde 2009 abriram mais 137 hotéis, sendo que 106 destes se localizam nas freguesias centrais. - Paralelamente, entre 2011 e 2021, perderam-se 1,2% dos alojamentos familiares. Este valor aumenta nas freguesias centrais para 18%, onde se nota, também, uma perda populacional (-19%). Destacam-se as freguesias da Misericórdia e de Santa Maria Maior que perderam, respetivamente, 17,9% e 27,8% dos seus alojamentos familiares, e 26,1% e 22% dos seus habitantes. No total das 5 freguesias centrais nota-se também uma perda de população (-19%) (INE). - Verificámos a substituição da habitação por estabelecimentos turísticos relacionada com processos de reabilitação. Apurámos que 34% dos edifícios existentes nas freguesias centrais tiveram, na última década, alvará para reabilitação, sendo que 82,3% dessas reabilitações deram lugar a AL e a hotéis (CML). - Em Lisboa, a habitação disponível quer para venda, quer para arrendamento sofreu um aumento exponencial do seu valor/m2. Entre 2010 e 2009, o valor da venda aumentou 70,9% e o do arrendamento 54,7%. Nos mesmos anos, nas freguesias do centro da cidade o valor da venda/m2 aumentou 99,4% e o do arrendamento 50,4% (Confidencial Imobiliário). Contudo, os salários médios, entre 2009 e 2019, aumentaram 15,85% (INE). - Em última instância, uma parte consistente da reabilitação de que foi alvo o edificado da cidade, não foi destinada a melhorar as condições habitacionais dos residentes. Criaram-se desigualdades sócio-espaciais evidentes, que se destacam nas freguesias centrais, em que a habitação perdeu a sua função social, dando lugar a edifícios para uso turístico.
Do Employees’ Emotions Contaminate Organisations? The Relationship between Emotional Contagion and Organisational Identification
Authors: TOKER Kerem , GÖRENER Ali
Published: September 2022

This article presents empirical research that aimed to determine the direction and strength of the relationships between emotional contagion and organisational identification. Our study examined the effect of aviation sector employees’ emotional contagion levels on organisational identification and the moderating role of career characteristics, such as age differences and seniority, in this effect. Data collected from 296 aviation employees were analyzed using SPSS 25 and SPSS Process Macro programs for determining moderating effects. The findings revealed that emotional contagion has a positive and significant effect on organisational identification. It has been determined that individuals’ age and seniority differences have a moderating role in the effect of emotional contagion on organisational identification. The fact that the scope of the research is a single sector and organisation hinders the findings’ generalizability. Additionally, the cross-sectional design limits the ability to explain the cause-and-effect relationships between psychological factors. The results proved that positive emotions affect individuals faster than negative emotions and are more effective on OI. Hence, the establishment of an organisational climate dominated by feelings of love and happiness and devoid of feelings of fear and anger is recommended for managers seeking to foster OI. By revealing the implicit relationships among the concepts with empirical evidence, we aim to fill a significant gap, particularly with respect to organisational psychology, and to represent new insights to scholars and practitioners.
