Caraterísticas da paisagem do município de Barcelos e implicações no bem-estar e na saúde mental dos peregrinos do Caminho de Santiago
Authors: Faria Catia , Almeida Cadima Remoaldo Paula Cristina , Silva Vieira Martins Maria de Fátima
Published: July 2022

Existem muito estudos que se reportam ao Caminho de Santiago, mas poucos se têm dedicado à avaliação da paisagem e aos sentidos experienciados pelo peregrino. Barcelos é um município do Caminho Português a Santiago que constitui um bom laboratório de análise destes elementos. Tendo por base estes pressupostos foi realizado um estudo em 2020 e em 2022 sobre o percurso de 33,6 km do município de Barcelos. Usando uma grelha de 22 variáveis, foram analisadas sobretudo o tipo de paisagem, os sentidos, os locais para descanso e meditação e os pontos de água potável. Os resultados revelam que, apesar das melhorias ocorridas entre 2020 e 2022, ainda é necessário concretizar algumas correções, no sentido de melhorar o bem-estar e a saúde mental do peregrino.

“RUBBISH” VS. “BUYER BE AWARE”: A Cross-Cultural Move Analysis of Chinese and American Negative Online Shopping Reviews and Their Corresponding Responses
Authors: Li Yang , Wannaruk Anachalee
Published: July 2022

The present study aims at comparing the move structures of Chinese and American negativeonline shopping reviews and managerial responses, and the influence of negative online reviews on peercustomer. The researchers collected 158 Chinese negative shopping reviews from www.jd.com, followedby 157 managerial responses and 76 peer customer responses, and 156 American negative reviews fromwww.amazon.com, followed by 139 managerial responses and 97 peer customer responses, respectively.The negative online reviews were analyzed into explicitly-impolite and implicit-impolite moves, themanagerial responses were analyzed into rapport-enhancing and rapport-damaging move, and the peercustomer responses were analyzed into agreement and disagreement with the negative online reviews.After qualitative analysis, the researchers conducted chi-square to examine whether the differencesbetween the Chinese and American negative online reviews and managerial and peer customer responseswere significant of not. The results show that the American negative online reviewer has matured as agenre, in that American negative online reviewers not only criticized the commodity, service, etc., butalso warned other customers against making the purchase, while Chinese negative online reviews mainlyaimed at criticizing the commodity, services, etc., leaving the decision to the peer customer. In termsof managerial responses, the Chinese manufacturer responded significantly more to the negative onlinereviewer, but employed more rapport-damaging moves than their American counterpart. By contrast,the American manufacturer customized their greeting and rectification with a unique reference code,which make their managerial responses more individualized. As for peer-customer responses, the resultsshow that negative online reviews had a greater impact on Chinese peer customers than their Americanequivalents. The findings may provide directions for the Chinese and American negative reviewers andthe management to adjust their move structures of negative reviews and managerial responses to thenegative online shopping reviews according to target consumers.
“A Little Bit out of Control”: Doing Identity-Work by Chinese University Teachers in Online Teachings
Authors: Xueyu Wang , Ming Chen
Published: July 2022

Online classrooms have offered “unique and irreplaceable” sites for teachers to doidentity work. In this article, we aim to explore what and how different types of teacher identities areconstructed and negotiated in online teachings. We draw on 6h of video-recorded online instructionsdelivered by four teachers from the Department of Foreign Studies in China’s local university. Dataanalysis finds Chinese university teachers in online lessons mainly construct three types of identities:professional identity, affective identity, and technical identity. Professional identity is related toteachers’ epistemic and deontic authority. Affective identity is reflected in the way teachers negotiateinterpersonal relationships with students. Technical identity is made salient when teachers mention thetechnological environment or (in)ability. These identities are constructed through different discursivepractices, such as person-referencing practices and speech acts. This study also yields interestingfindings on the interlinks and struggles of teacher identities in an online pedagogical environment. Wehope that it could provide some insights for the current teacher training and education in China.

The Framework of Urban Planning in China in the 21st Century: A Discipline at the service of Building a Nation
Authors: Masnou Morera María José
Published: July 2022

The character of urban planning in China must be understood within the framework of the policies of the country's planning. In this context, urban planning is subordinate to the economic construction of the nation.The most eloquent image of this Post-Socialism scenario is the intense urbanization processes of cities. New residential areas, downtown and affluent business districts, industrial and technology parks, are its image. However, what is the planning framework, procedures and urban instruments that allow these processes? The political structure of the Chinese state centrallyand hierarchically directs this planning through its state policies and guidelines of the Five-Year Plans,and its sectorial implementation through the different ministries. However, a lack of integratedplanning leads to the duplicity of competencies, lack of coordination and divergence of objectives. Anew framework, the ‘duoguiheyi’, tries to alleviate this situation. The land regime and its developmentis an essential factor to understand the transformation and growth processes of cities, as well asthe entrepreneurial character of the local state. At the same time, contemporary urban planning asa discipline has a short history and a very recent legal framework that generates a lack of cases ofreference and adaptation to rapid urban dynamics. In some chapters, the city of Hangzhou will serveas an explanatory reference.

Authors: Qianchao Li , García Mejías Mario , Qiuhan Yang
Published: July 2022

This presented work is the case study, which demonstrates the process of compilation,analysis and description of Chinese textbooks, titled Camino al Chino (Road to Chinese), carried outby the Confucius Institute of the University of León, and published by the McGraw-Hill Education.The creation of these textbooks was motivated after receiving various indications that the existingtextbooks had difficulties in adapting to the singularities of teaching in Spain. Therefore, this studywill try to present the principles and criteria that the authors have taken into account at the time ofpreparing and adapting these textbooks. Meanwhile, three fundamental objectives that they intendedto achieve in Spain are also mentioned: satisfying and motivating the promotion of the Chinese officialexamination, the orientation to establish their own curriculum, and diffusion of Chinese education asa second language. Finally, the authors hope that this small work will serve as an interest for futureChinese textbooks writing in Spain or other European countries and will contribute to the possibleadvancement of the localization of the language books for the beginners.
Analysis of the attitude of scholars of the late Qing dynasty towards Christianity through the "Essay on Christianity" by Fang Junshi
Authors: Xiaojuan Wang
Published: July 2022

Fang Junshi was born to the Fang family clan in Dingyuan, Anhui Province, in the late Qing period. He enjoyed a certain prestige within the political world and literary circles of that time. His work Essay on Christianity continues with the thought of "Western knowledge of Chinese origin" from Wei Yuan's work, Illustrated Treatise on the Maritime Kingdoms, and analyzes and distinguishes the origin of Christianity, considering that it comes from Buddhism and Taoism. In An Illustrated Treatise on the Maritime Kingdoms, Fang Junshi supplemented information on relevant documents of Catholicism that had not yet been included and made a more in-depth analysis of the different data with his own explanations. In this way, Fang demonstrated the common attitude among late Qing scholars about Christianity, loosely upholding the Sinocentric attitude of Chinese civilization. The emergence of this phenomenon possibly derives from the following reasons: the prohibition of Christianity for more than a century since the middle of the Qing period, the actions perpetrated by missionaries after their entry into China and the evolution of the other relevant religions of that period.

Border governance in ancient China-study between 2070 B.C.-1279 A.D.
Authors: Geliang Liu
Published: July 2022

This article provides a study of border governance in ancient China. It interprets the state of domination in ethnic minorities areas by the central feudal dynasty government between 2070 B.C-1279 A.D which is recognized among the relevant academic community in China. In this multi-ethnic country with a long history of feudal dynasty, many ethnic minorities live on the borders of China, thus the central feudal dynasty has faced complicated problems of simple border governance in this vast land. Although feudal dynasties in various periods of Chinese history differed in the content of border governance, their governance systems were of the same origin and were constantly improving. Theauthor strives to interpret the border governance model at each historical stage, in order to ordera clear historical context and provide a window for Spanish-speaking sociologists to understand thegovernance of ethnic minorities in ancient China.
Gönülsüz Bir Dönüşüm: Revizyonist Bir Hikâye Olarak “The Frog Prince”
Authors: PINAR DOLAYKAYA Mürüvvet Mira
Published: July 2022

In “The Frog Prince”, published in The New Yorker in 2014, Robert Coover uses the Brothers Grimm’s namesake tale as a backdrop to interrogate and subvert fairy tale conventions specifically with a focus on gender roles. The story dwells on the experiences of its eponymous protagonist not as a prince who is transformed into a frog through evil magic but as a naïve frog which is transformed into a human being against his will. Opening with an anonymous woman’s kiss, Coover’s story probes concepts such as individualism, self, identity, happiness, and belonging through the relationship of the couple. This study reads Robert Coover’s “The Frog Prince” as a revisionist story. It explores Coover’s story as a text which problematizes and revises fairy tales as far-fetched, idealized, and ideological narratives that fail to represent the individual and the individual experience.
Burocracias municipales: la profesionalización y la institucionalización de la Oficina de Obras Públicas en la ciudad de Río Cuarto (1870-1911)
Authors: Romina-Maza Lucía
Published: July 2022

Los cambios aparejados durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX implicaron modificaciones socio-económicas y políticas que se plasmaron en el espacio urbano. En un intento por controlar dichos cambios, tuvo lugar dentro del Estado la creación de una burocracia, conformada por profesionales como ingenieros y urbanistas, capaces de reglamentar y vigilar las obras públicas. Desde una óptica local centrada en la ciudad de Río Cuarto, el siguiente trabajo procura brindar un esbozo en torno a esta temática, a partir de la creación de una burocracia municipal encargada del trazado y construcción de la planta urbana. Durante el último tercio de 1800, comienza una creciente institucionalización y profesionalización de los puestos municipales referidos a la obra pública, cuyo control de los cargos y delimitación de actividades derivarán en 1911 en la creación de la Oficina de Obras Públicas y Catastro.

Well-posedness of the main mixed problem for the multidimensional Lavrentiev — Bitsadze equation
Authors: Aldashev S. A.
Published: July 2022

It is known that the oscillations of elastic membranes in space are modelled with partial differential equations. If the deflection of the membrane is considered as a function of u(x; t); x = (x1; :::; xm);m 2; then, according to the Hamilton principle, we arrive to a multidimensional wave equation.Assuming that the membrane is in equilibrium in the bending position, we also obtain the multidimensional Laplace equation from the Hamiltons principle.Consequently, the oscillations of elastic membranes in space can be modelled with a multidimensional Lavrentiev Bitsadze equation.The main mixed problem in the cylindrical domain for multidimensional hyperbolic equations in the space of generalized functions is well studied. In the works of the author, the well-posedness of this problem for multidimensional hyperbolic and elliptic equations is proved, and the explicit forms of classical solutions are obtained.As far as we know, these questions for multidimensional hyperbolic-elliptic equations have not been studied.The mixed problem with boundary-value conditions for the multidimensional Lavrentiev Bitsazde equation is ill-posed.In this paper, we prove the unique solvability and obtain an explicit form of classical solution of themain mixed problem with boundary and initial conditions for the multidimensional Lavrentiev Bitsadze equation.

Authors: Lebedev Z. S.
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the study of electronic documents in criminal proceedings and their application in practical activities: the procedural prerequisites for the introduction of these documents, as well as the existing positive effect, are considered. The author studies various points of view of theoretical scientists in relation to the definition of the concept of electronic documents, according to the results of the study, he proposed his own definition of this concept. The article also describes the possibility of functioning of authorities in the context of the introduction of electronic documents on the example of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, describes already existing experience in the practice of the Russian executive body. A comparative analysis of the use of electronic documents in foreign judicial practice was carried out, using the example of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Based on existing experience in the practice of the Russian Federation, established procedural rules, as well as the experience of a foreign state, the author concludes that he is ready to switch to a digital format of criminal cases.
Science of international law – since ancient times!
Authors: Krivokapich B. D.
Published: July 2022

In modern doctrine, the emergence of science of international law in the ancient world is often overlooked or even outright denied. However, the most ancient legal treaties contain separate norms of international law, the formulation and application of which should have been carried out by specialists familiar with past and existing practice. In connection with the above, it seems relevant to understand the issue of the moment when the science of international law emerged. It is advisable to conduct a study of the works of ancient philosophers and legal scholars to formulate conclusions that international law has existed since the formation of the first states and is a consequence of the transfer of basic legal principles from domestic relations to external interstate ones. The research methodology is determined by its sources. The use of comparative, formal legal, historical research methods made it possible to achieve this goal. Based on the names and works of thinkers of ancient countries (China, India, Greece, Rome), it is argued that international legal thought existed in the ancient world. In conclusion, it is concluded that neither international law, nor its science were created in Europe in the XVIXVII centuries, as some researchers say. Both the emergence itself and the study of international law are objective processes that political life demanded and generated much earlier.

Komercyjne domy seniora w Polsce a gerontechnologia – wyniki badań
Authors: Boruta Marcin
Published: July 2022

Programs for the reconstruction of cities in the face of social, economic and environmental challenges of shaping urban areas. Purpose: The aim of the study is to present the concept of the silver economy and basic solutions in the field of gerontechnology utilised in senior housing, as well as to depict the situation in commercial retirement homes in Poland in terms of the use of devices related to gerontechnology. Design/methodology/approach: The author has conducted literature studies in the field of demography, the concept of the silver economy and gerontechnology. Additionally, an empirical study has been carried out with the use of a standardised questionnaire. The research population consisted of institutions providing round-the-clock care for disabled, chronically ill or elderly people. These institutions operate as part of business activity or paid statutory activity from at least January 1, 2017, with minimum 75% of the total population being people aged 65 and older. Findings: The sector of private retirement homes in Poland takes advantage of technological solutions to improve the quality of life of residents and the level of services provided. However, the catalogue of existing solutions is significantly limited and used primarily to support and monitor health. Solutions for the automation and control of the home environment are applied to a small extent, and the use of solutions for the exchange of information and recreation is marginal. Originality and value: The demographic changes taking place in Poland, as well as the growing costs of supporting older population groups and meeting their diverse needs may raise concerns about the productivity of the economy, its competitiveness and the condition of public finances. However, the existing scientific studies and foreign experience allow to conclude that if the silver economy is considered as a field of strategic activities, the existing threats can be perceived as opportunities. Gerontechnology is a vital element of this economy, and modern technological solutions aimed at seniors are an inherent and increasingly popular element of senior housing and will become one of the basic directions for improving the real estate market.
Pandemia COVID-19 a rynek nieruchomości w Polsce
Authors: Koszel Maciej
Published: July 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic and the real estate market in Poland. Purpose: The aim of the article is to answer the following research questions in the context of strong factors, both external (COVID-19 pandemic) and internal (restrictions): 1) What is the current professional situation of people associated with the real estate market? 2) What is the general situation on the real estate market? 3) What are the prospects regarding the professional situation and the market itself? Design/methodology/approach: The author has used the diagnostic survey method and the survey technique (electronic questionnaire) in the study. The research was carried out in the second quarter of 2020 (i.e. in the period of the strictest restrictions) on a sample of 247 people representing mainly the professions of a real estate agent, property appraiser and real estate manager. Findings: Pandemic restrictions, including in particular the restrictions on the functioning of selected aspects of the economic sphere (lockdown), drastically worsened the professional situation of people associated with the real estate market and had a negative impact on the overall economic situation. A shock occurred, above all, on the demand side of the market, disrupting the functioning of entities dealing with the professional service of the market, including primarily people working in the profession of a real estate agent and a real estate sales specialist in real estate development companies. A common feature of the professions in question is the work model based on direct contact with clients. In this case, remote work turned out to be possible only to a limited extent. The overall assessment of the situation on local real estate markets and their individual segments was utterly negative. Originality and value: The first weeks of the pandemic were characterised by very high dynamics and frequency of changes, which caused chaos and disrupted the functioning of entities operating on the real estate market. It was considered crucial to obtain the opinions of the people directly involved in and creating this market. The conducted research was one of the first in Poland which comprehensively allowed for a preliminary assessment of changes on the selected market.
Rynek mieszkaniowy w erze pandemii COVID-19. Studium porównawcze Poznania i Warny
Authors: Palicki Sławomir , Kostov Ivo
Published: July 2022

The housing market in the era of COVID-19. A comparative study of Poznań and Varna. Purpose: The aim of the study is to characterise and interpret the impact of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) as an unexpected stimulus on the participants of the housing market. The research was designed not only to obtain knowledge about contemporary market trends (the cognitive aspect) but also to support market entities in shaping optimised investment and housing decisions (the practical aspect). Design/methodology/approach: The research is based on official statistical data describing transactions on the housing markets of two selected European countries and their cities – Poznań (Poland) and Varna (Bulgaria), in the period between 2018 and 2020. The methodology of comparative analysis has been applied to purposefully selected case studies. Furthermore, the authors have drawn on the possibilities offered by the analysis of the activity and volatility of transaction prices on housing markets. Findings: The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant, yet short-term impact on the functioning of residential markets in Bulgaria and Poland in 2020 (based on Varna and Poznań). The dissemination of global information concerning the scale of the epidemic has most severely disrupted the activity on both the primary and secondary housing markets in Bulgaria. The secondary housing market in Poland reacted in a similar way, which resulted in a significant instability of the trend. The primary market in Poland turned out to be relatively most resistant to the stimuli related to the pandemic situation. What is common for both analysed countries and cities is a change in the shape of house price indexes in 2020 compared to 2018–2019. Originality and value: The research is a part of the contemporary trend of assessing the impact of atypical factors disrupting market trends. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the functioning of housing markets, forcing unprecedented global responses. The example of the comparative analysis of the two European countries presented in the article allows for indicating the directions and scale of rapid changes which reflect the process of sudden adaptation of societies to previously unknown conditions. Such analyses, which serve as ex-post evaluation to some extent, allow for better preparation of specialists in the field of housing market activities to meet the needs created by unusual stimuli. They also allow for more effective planning of measures to mitigate the effects of market shocks in the sphere of housing.
Are cryptocurrencies safe havens during the COVID-19 pandemic? A threshold regression perspective with pandemic-related benchmarks
Authors: Barbu Teodora Cristina , Boitan Iustina Alina , Cepoi Cosmin-Octavian
Published: July 2022

The paper employs a threshold regression framework conditioned by two COVID-19 related proxies, to investigate whether Bitcoin and Ether exhibit short-term safe haven or diversifier features for stock and bond markets. Both cryptocurrencies fulfil a diversifier role for the responsible investments represented by sustainable stock market indices, a safe haven role for major bond markets and a mixed role for a selection of representative stock market indices. Furthermore, in times characterized by an increasing number of COVID-19 daily cases or deaths the statistical relationship between both cryptocurrencies and the main financial market determinants weakens.
Effets des politiques conjoncturelles sur la croissance économique en Zone franc
Authors: Tsassa Mbouayila Franck Mondesir
Published: July 2022

Cet article trouve son affiliation dans la théorie budgétaire du niveau des prix. Il propose l'étude simultanée des chocs conjoncturels en Zone franc, à l'aide d'un modèle PVAR structurel regroupant l'activité, les prix, un taux d'intérêt réel de court terme, le solde budgétaire primaire et la dette extérieure. Les effets et les délais de transmission des impulsions budgétaires et monétaires sur le PIB apparaissent différenciés dans les deux unions monétaires à court terme. Les composantes cycliques des taux de refinancement de la BEAC et BCEAO sont positivement liées à celles des déficits primaires dans la Zone franc. Les politiques budgétaires agissent négativement sur la croissance du PIB. Cependant les politiques monétaires produisent des chocs positifs sur l'évolution de la croissance économique dans ces deux Unions monétaires. Il est donc nécessaire que les autorités monétaires allègent les règles de politique monétaire en réduisant les taux d'intérêt, ce qui va également relancer l'activité. Et les gouvernements n'ont alors aucune incitation à accroître leur déficit.

Od A do Š – spoznavanje cirilice v slovenskem prostoru
Authors: Ulčnik Natalija
Published: July 2022

Cirilica v slovenskem prostoru ni imela vidnejše vloge, saj se je vse od prvih zapisov slovenščine uporabljala latinica, kljub temu pa ji je bilo izkazano določeno zanimanje. V prispevku je najprej opozorjeno na prisotnost cirilice v starejših slovenskih slovnicah in možne razloge za njeno vključevanje, v nadaljevanju pa je preverjeno, v kolikšni meri je bilo ali je še prisotno učenje cirilice v slovenskem izobraževalnem sistemu, s posebnim ozirom na spoznavanje cirilice med študentkami in študenti slovenskega jezika in književnosti na Filozofski fakulteti Univerze v Mariboru. Ob koncu je izpostavljena motivacija za učenje cirilice v današnjem času in pomen njenega poznavanja.

Study of Climate Change Impact on Crops and Soil Health in India: A Review
Authors: . Manjeet , . Anurag , Niwas Ram , Khichar M.L. , Kumar Anil
Published: July 2022

Climate change such as rising temperature, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, rainfall variability and altering soil physical, chemical and biological properties are observed all around the world. A review over impacts of clim ate change with relation to crops and soil health was done at Department of Agricultural Meteorology, CCS HAU Hisar. IPCC, 2021 provides new estimates of the chances of crossing the global warming level of 1.5°C in the next decades and finds that unless there are immediate, rapid and large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, limiting warming to close to 1.5°C or even 2°C will be beyond reach. Impacts of climate change on soil properties are long time process as weather elements induce Physio-chemical reaction with soil which happens slowly in relation to weather elements. Climate change is generally expectedto increase the crop yields due to CO2 fertilization, radiation use efficiency and longer growing season but on the other hand, beyond a critical limit it may develop stress conditions like water stress, sun burns, scorching, bark cracking, closure stomata, leaf senescence and abscission etc. that can decrease crop production. Acidification, sodicity and salinization problem can develop in soil due to increase in temperature and acidic rainfall. So it can be held that, climate change would have intensive impacts on cereal and horticulture crops health and production as well as on soil properties.

Sob a égide do capital, os recursos naturais são apropriados e transformados em mercadoria. Nesta lógica, territórios são explorados e comunidades tradicionais são despossuídas de seus ambientes de trabalho e moradia, da força de trabalho, dos recursos naturais (praia, rios, restinga, seus acessos e os benefícios que tais recursos podem oferecer). No que tange às regiões de praia, há uma apropriação simbólica da natureza, com a criação de simulacros e narrativas que atraem turistas, agregando valor a uma cadeia produtiva com alto grau de exploração socioambiental. Destarte, diversos agentes hegemônicos se articulam em redes em várias escalas de interesses diversos, para garantir a expansão da base material, modifi cando a relação entre a sociedade e a natureza, provocando impactos e confl itos socioambientais negativos. Assim, o presente artigo tem, como objetivo, analisar os confl itos socioambientais no território da chamada “Rota Ecológica dos Milagres”, localizada no litoral norte de Alagoas, inserida na Área de Proteção Ambiental Federal Costa dos Corais- APACC. Este foi metodologicamente construído a partir de revisão de literatura; estudo de campo com observação em lócus e registro fotográfi co utilizando veículo aéreo não tripulável; levantamento de reportagens nos principais veículos de comunicação, entre os anos de 2015 e 2021, sobre os problemas e confl itos socioambientais ocorridos na área de pesquisa; e identifi cação e análise documental de licenças emitidas na área. Desta forma, nota-se que a população local vem sendo despossuída de seus espaços de convívio social e dos recursos naturais, havendo uma transformação evidente nas formas de trabalho preexistentes, as quais estão sendo subsumidas pela indústria turística.

The objective of this study was to perform the gravimetric characterization of dry recyclables from the selective collection in the city of Bauru, state of São Paulo as well as their residues and other qualitative aspects. The study site was in the Cooperativa Ecologicamente Correta de Materiais Recicláveis de Bauru (Ecologically Correct Cooperative of Recyclable Materials) - COOPECO. For the analysis and qualitative characterization, the method of homogenization and quartering of the samples was used, in which the dry residues of the selective collection were sampled in four days of the week. The percentages of dry recyclables obtained in the sum of the four days of the selective collection were: paper/cardboard (30.28%); glass (26.34%); plastic (19.62%) followed by residue (19.19%). The percentages of the residues from the conveyor were: 20.82% plastic and 10.48% paper, as well as the presence of organic components (10%), referring to training and environmental education.
Chapter 14. How Mentors Help Us Learn to Fail: Reflections from the Academic Family Tree
Authors: Dunbar-Wallis Amy , Henry Meredith A.
Published: July 2022

In this chapter, the authors reflect on their mentoring experiences and use semi-structured interviews with their past mentors to explore and categorize specific mentoring approaches that may help build resilience and confidence in undergraduate researchers confronting failure. They provide three hypotheses about how mentoring might help students cope with failure, challenge, and fear of failure, seeking to provide future researchers with potential practices to test and explore further.
Chapter 5. Successful Failure: Leveraging Mindfulness and Growth-Oriented Reframing to Build Undergraduate Research Resilience
Authors: Goodman Sara G. , Goodwin Melissa M. , Ahmed Noveera T. , Picardo Kristin , Erklenz-Watts Michelle
Published: July 2022

This chapter shines the light on how helping students re-perceive their experiences with failure allows them to boost confidence, well-being, and belongingness. The authors share a practice for re-perceiving failure—mindfulness metacognition-mindset shift—which is applicable in nearly every situation where failure or difficulty can be encountered. Guidance is provided for implementing this practice within and beyond research settings.
A Study on Personal Traits, Social Influences and, the Flow Experience of Video Conference Service Users
Authors:   IAGBT, Tran Hang T. D , Kim Min-Sook
Published: July 2022

Purpose - Users utilize video conference services to enhance job performance. If they feel the flow experience while performing duties through video conferencing, they will continue to use the video conference service. The main purpose of this study is to comprehensively verify how the personal traits and social factors of video conference service users impact flow experience. In addition, it is necessary to understand the direct impact of technology readiness on flow to maintain the use intention of video conference service users.
Design/Methodology/Approach - Based on the hypotheses results, this study first identified the negative effect of technology readiness on perceived usefulness and the positive effect on perceived ease of use and flow experience. Second, both visibility and subjective norm factors showed direct impacts on perceived usefulness, but no impact on perceived ease of use. Lastly, all perception factors such as perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, strongly influence flow experience.
Findings - This study combined fundamental theories, including flow theory, technology readiness, self-image congruence, social factors, and perception factors, to construct an integrated research framework. Furthermore, a total of 223 valid samples from users in South Korea that had used a paid video conference service were collected and analyzed.
Research Implications - The following are the primary theoretical implications of this study. Firstly, the current study extended the research subjects to not only students but also office workers and instructors; secondly, it determined the influential relationships between personality traits, social dimensions, and perceptions of users with flow experiences. Moreover, several practical implications are also suggested to introduce some methods of developing new potential clients and retaining existing customers for service providers.
Th Hyperboloidal Universe
Authors: Laforet Christopher
Published: July 2022

This paper proposes a relativistic model of the Universe in which the geometry describes a 4D version of the 2-sheeted hyperboloid that is isotropic, homogeneous in space at a given time and inhomogeneous in time. The radius of this metric is temporal as opposed to spatial. It predicts both a Universe and Anti-Universe moving in opposite directions of time undergoing an expansion phase, followed by a collapsing phase. Using only the current age of the Universe and transition redshift, it predicts the accelerated expansion and it is shown that its Hubble diagram fits currently available supernova and quasar data as well as predicting a Hubble constant $H_0\approx71.6km/s/Mpc$. The angular term of the metric describes time dilation caused by the relativistic kinematic precession effect known as Thomas Precession which can be interpreted as spin about the time dimension. The model also makes two novel predictions: that the early Universe should have structures older than expected due to an increased amount of proper time relative to coordinate time in that era and that the background Universe should appear brighter than current models predict.

Systemic hypertension has been recognized as a modifiable traditional cardiovascular risk factor and influenced by many factors such as eating habits, physical activity, diabetes and obesity. The objective of this study was to identify cardiometabolic factors that predict changes in blood pressure induced by a one-year lifestyle intervention in primary care settings involving a collaboration between family physicians, dietitians, and exercise specialists. Patients with metabolic syndrome diagnosis were recruited by family physicians participating in primary care lifestyle intervention among several family care clinics across Canada. Participants for whom all cardiometabolic data at the beginning (T0) and the end (T12) of the intervention were available were included in the present analysis (n=101). Patients visited the dietitian and the exercise specialist weekly for the first three months and monthly for the last nine months. Diet quality, exercise capacity, anthropometric indicators, and cardiometabolic variables were evaluated at T0 and at T12. The intervention induced a significant decrease in waist circumference (WC), systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, and plasma triglycerides and an increase in cardiorespiratory fitness (estimated VO2max). Body weight (p<0.001), body mass index (BMI) (p<0.001), and plasma glucose (p=0.006) reduction and VO2max increase (p=0.048) were all related to changes in SBP. WC was the only variable for which changes were significantly correlated with those in both SBP (p<0.0001) and DBP (p=0.0004). Variations in DBP were not associated with changes in other cardiometabolic variables to a statistically significant extent. Twelve participants were identified as adverse responders in both SBP and DBP and displayed less favorable changes in WC. The beneficial effects of a lifestyle intervention on blood pressure were significantly associated with cardiometabolic variables, especially WC. These findings suggest that a structured lifestyle intervention in primary care can help improve cardiometabolic risk factors in patients with metabolic syndrome.
