La Educación Superior en la Modalidad Virtual desde la Perspectiva del Docente. Caso: Docentes de la Carrera de Ingeniería Industrial FCA-UNP
Authors: Gamarra de Velazco Fulvia Karina
Published: April 2024

Ibáñez (1994), menciona que la Educación Superior es la Institución que tiene como objetivo la formación de capacidades y actitudes de los individuos para su integración a la sociedad como seres capaces de regular el statu quo y a la vez puedan transformar la realidad social en pos de los valores vigentes en un momento histórico determinado.  La tarea de la educación superior es “la formación de profesionales competentes; individuos que resuelvan creativamente, es decir, de manera novedosa, eficiente y eficaz, los problemas sociales. (Gamarra, 2021. p.2964). Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) son las innovaciones educativas del momento y permiten a los docentes y alumnos cambios determinantes en el quehacer diario del aula y en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de los mismos. Estas tecnologías permiten entrar a un mundo nuevo lleno de información de fácil acceso para los docentes y alumnos. De igual manera, facilitan el ambiente de aprendizaje, que se adaptan a nuevas estrategias que permiten el desarrollo cognitivo creativo y divertido en las áreas tradicionales del currículo. La investigación tiene como objetivo analizar los factores que intervienen en la Educación superior en la modalidad virtual desde la perspectiva del docente. La metodología empleada es cuantitativa- cualitativa y se utilizó el estudio de corte instrumental con diseño transversal-descriptivo.  Para la recolección de información se aplicó un cuestionario, distribuido por medio de Google Forms, donde participaron los docentes de la Carrera Ingeniería Industrial de la Facultad de Ciencias Aplicadas de la UNP. Los resultados permitirán conocer si los docentes necesitan de una capacitación continua que favorezca la adquisición de competencia digital y la utilización de nuevas estrategias para solucionar los problemas de la brecha digital entre los estudiantes
Determinants Influencing Consumers’ Intentions to Purchase Green Products: Empirical Insights from Malaysian Consumers
Authors: Rehman Zahoor Ur , Abu Seman Noor Aslinda , Harun Amran
Published: April 2024

Consumers around the world have shifted from conventional to green products, and their green consumption is increasing. Growing demand for sustainability and environmental protection drives this shift. Consumers have become more aware of the need to reduce their carbon footprint and make more sustainable choices. Similar is the case in Malaysia as green products are available in open markets, but a low level of intention toward purchasing them still exists. With a specific focus on the Malaysian context, this study is aimed at identifying the factors that contribute to consumers' low intentions for purchasing green products. The Theory of Planned Behavior is extended with perceived environmental concern (PEC) and environmental knowledge (PEK). A survey questionnaire with a non-probability sampling technique was used, and 155 survey responses were collected from respondents in Malaysia. Using structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), the collected data was analyzed, and the results revealed that perceived environmental concern, perceived environmental knowledge, and subjective are the strongest predictors of consumers’ intention as these factors significantly influence intention to purchase green products. Interestingly the study revealed that attitude toward green products failed to have a significant relationship with the intention to purchase green products. In green marketing contexts, our study results demonstrate that extended TPB has higher predictability than the TPB variables. The model's additional constructions (PEK and PEC) significantly contribute to a better understanding of green product purchase intention development and potentially become long-term main-stream variables.

¿Contribuye la asignatura de filosofía al desempeño académico?
Authors: Pérez de la Carrera Isidora
Published: April 2024

Este artículo analiza si el tener un año adicional de la asignatura de filosofía durante la educación media se asocia con el rendimiento de los estudiantes en Chile, reflejado en los resultados de la Prueba de Selección Universitaria (PSU) de Lenguaje y Matemáticas. Para llevar a cabo este análisis se confecciona una única base de datos a partir de tres fuentes de información del Ministerio de Educación (Mineduc), con los puntajes PSU, las asignaturas cursadas y otras variables relevantes en el estudio. Se analiza la situación de cada estudiante de los distintos establecimientos humanístico-científicos en Chile que en 2015 cursan segundo medio, tercero medio en 2016 y que en 2017, en cuarto medio, rindieron la PSU. Se realizan dos modelos de regresión lineal por mínimos cuadrados ordinarios, cuyos resultados muestran que hay una asociación positiva entre ambas variables y que con un año adicional de filosofía mejoran los puntajes de PSU del alumnado en ese período. Así, se espera fomentar la importancia de la práctica de la filosofía y el pensamiento crítico desde la educación escolar.
MEDIATING EFFECTS OF CREATIVE HOME ENVIRONMENT AND SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING ABILITY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CREATIVE PERSONALITY AND CREATIVE ACHIEVEMENT INTENTION
Authors: Lee Ga Hyung
Published: April 2024

This study verified the mediating effects of creative home environment and self-directed learning ability on the relationship between creative personality and creative achievement intention of university students. Creative personality was set as independent variable, creative home environment and self-directed learning ability as mediating variables, and creative achievement intention as dependent variable. This study was conducted from June 10 to July 10, 2019 in Seoul, South Korea, and the participants were 587 university students. Data was collected through an online–offline test and analysed using SPSS Statistics 25.0. Creative personality affected creative achievement intention through the medium of creative home environment. However, self-directed learning ability had no mediating effect in the influence of creative personality on creative achievement intention. Therefore, creative home environment is important to improve the creative achievement intention of university students. Further, that the family’s environmental support affects the creative achievement intention to express creativity in course of development bears implications for parent education.

Based on photometric observations by TESS, we present the discovery of a potential Venus analog transiting LHS 475, an M3 dwarf located 12.5 pc from the Sun. The mass of the star is 0.274 ± 0.015 M
☉. The planet, originally reported as TOI 910.01, has an orbital period of 2.0291010 ± 0.0000017 days and an estimated radius of 0.975 ± 0.058 R
⊕. We confirm the validity and source of the transit signal with MEarth and Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope ground-based follow-up photometry. We present radial velocity data from CHIRON that rule out massive companions. In accordance with the observed mass–radius distribution of exoplanets as well as planet formation theory, we expect this planetary companion to be terrestrial, with an estimated radial velocity semiamplitude of 1.1 m s−1. LHS 475 b is likely too hot to be habitable but is a suitable candidate for emission and transmission spectroscopy.
Toward Atmospheric Retrievals of Panchromatic Light Curves: ExPLOR-ing Generalized Inversion Techniques for Transiting Exoplanets with JWST and Ariel
Authors: Changeat Q. , Ito Y. , Al-Refaie A. F. , Yip K. H. , Lueftinger T.
Published: April 2024

Conventional atmospheric retrieval codes are designed to extract information, such as chemical abundances, thermal structures, and cloud properties, from fully “reduced” spectra obtained during transit or eclipse. Reduced spectra, however, are assembled by fitting a series of simplified light curves to time-series observations, wavelength by wavelength. Thus, spectra are postprocessed summary statistics of the original data, which by definition do not encode all the available information (i.e., astrophysical signal, model covariance, and instrumental noise). Here, we explore an alternative inversion strategy where the atmospheric retrieval is performed on the light curve directly, i.e., closer to the data. This method is implemented in EXoplanet Panchromatic Light curve Observation and Retrieval (ExPLOR), a novel atmospheric retrieval code inheriting from the TauREx project. By explicitly considering time in the model, ExPLOR naturally handles transits, eclipses, phase curves, and other complex geometries for transiting exoplanets. In this paper, we have validated this new technique by inverting simulated panchromatic light curves. The model was tested on realistic simulations of a WASP-43 b-like exoplanet as observed with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Ariel telescope. By comparing our panchromatic light-curve approach against conventional spectral retrievals on mock scenarios, we have identified key breaking points in information and noise propagation when employing past literature techniques. Throughout the paper, we discuss the importance of developing “closer-to-data” approaches such as the method presented in this work, and highlight the inevitable increase in model complexity and computing requirements associated with the recent JWST revolution.
Unraveling the Cr Isotopes of Ryugu: An Accurate Aqueous Alteration Age and the Least Thermally Processed Solar System Material

The analysis of samples returned from the C-type asteroid Ryugu has drastically advanced our knowledge of the evolution of early solar system materials. However, no consensus has been obtained on the chronological data, which is important for understanding the evolution of the asteroid Ryugu. Here, the aqueous alteration age of Ryugu particles was determined by the Mn–Cr method using bulk samples, yielding an age of 4.13 + 0.62/−0.55 Myr after the formation of Ca–Al-rich inclusions (CAI). The age corresponds to 4563.17 + 0.60/−0.67 Myr ago. The higher 55Mn/52Cr, ε
54Cr, and initial ε
53Cr values of the Ryugu samples relative to any carbonaceous chondrite samples implies that its progenitor body formed from the least thermally processed precursors in the outermost region of the protoplanetary disk. Despite accreting at different distances from the Sun, the hydrous asteroids (Ryugu and the parent bodies of CI, CM, CR, and ungrouped C2 meteorites) underwent aqueous alteration during a period of limited duration (3.8 ± 1.8 Myr after CAI). These ages are identical to the crystallization age of the carbonaceous achondirtes NWA 6704/6693 within the error. The ε
54Cr and initial ε
53Cr values of Ryugu and NWA 6704/6693 are also identical, while they show distinct Δ'17O values. This suggests that the precursors that formed the progenitor bodies of Ryugu and NWA 6703/6693 were formed in close proximity and experienced a similar degree of thermal processing in the protosolar nebula. However, the progenitor body of Ryugu was formed by a higher ice/dust ratio, than NWA6703/6693, in the outer region of the protoplanetary disk.
BRICS Plus: de-dollarization and global power shifts in new economic landscape
Authors: Saaida Mohammed
Published: April 2024

This article examines the de-dollarization phenomenon of the BRICS Plus and its impact on global economic dynamics. The research employs analytical descriptive technique to explore the factors that influence the BRICS Plus-led de-dollarization and the results it may lead to. The study discusses the BRICS Plus strategy, considering economic and political factors, and identifies potential areas of divergent interests within the changing global landscape. The BRICS Plus’s emergence involves an interplay between economic capabilities and geopolitical influence, potentially impacting existing global power dynamics. To achieve its goals, the BRICS Plus needs to address internal differences, establish institutions, and navigate complex geopolitical situations with diplomacy. The United States faces challenges, including its diminishing economic influence, which necessitates strategic choices and diplomatic measures for adaptation. The paper proposes recommendations based on creating internal strategies to meet the BRICS Plus’s economic needs and external strategies to be designed in response to proactive economic challenges of the United States in the international context.

Published: April 2024

Background/Aims: A poor prognostic factor for Crohn’s disease (CD) includes perianal fistulizing disease, including perianal fistula and/or perianal abscess. Currently, a tool to assess perianal symptoms in patients with CD remains nonexistent. This study aimed to develop a perianal fistulizing disease self-screening questionnaire for patients with CD.Methods: This prospective pilot study was conducted at three tertiary referral centers between January 2019 and May 2020. We formulated questions on perianal symptoms, including tenesmus, anal discharge, bleeding, pain, and heat. A 4-point Likert scale was used to rate each question. Patients with CD completed a questionnaire and underwent pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Results: Overall, 93 patients were enrolled, with 51 (54.8%) diagnosed with perianal fistulizing disease, as determined by pelvic MRI. The Spearman correlation findings demonstrated that anal pain (p = 0.450, p < 0.001) and anal discharge (p = 0.556, p < 0.001) were the symptoms that most significantly correlated with perianal disease. For anal pain and discharge, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the scores was significantly higher than that of the combined score for all five symptoms (0.855 vs. 0.794, DeLong’s test p = 0.04). For the two symptoms combined, the sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive and negative predictive values were 88.2, 73.8, 80.4, and 83.8%, respectively, with 81.7% accuracy for detecting perianal fistulizing disease.Conclusions: This study indicates that simple questions regarding anal pain and discharge can help accurately identify the presence of perianal fistulizing disease in patients with CD.

Chez un compositeur, la musique précède les mots, voire les remplace. C’est à travers l’écoute de son œuvre musicale que l’analyste pourra pénétrer son inconscient, même a posteriori, dans ce contretemps de l’Histoire, ce transfert unilatéral, ce dédoublement des fictions, celle du créateur et celle du psychanalyste. Nous nous appuierons pour illustrer ce propos sur les travaux d’Hector Berlioz, ses compositions musicales et, en particulier, celle du Roi Lear , mais aussi ses écrits, correspondances, mémoires, et littérature avec sa nouvelle Euphonia ou la ville musicale .
Le récit testimonial du chercheur, entre psychanalyse, phénoménologie et littérature
Authors: Chatrousse Hubert
Published: April 2024

Cet article propose une réflexion sur la valeur scientifique de l’écriture testimoniale du chercheur. Il s’agira, à travers une approche complémentariste entre psychanalyse et phénoménologie, d’interroger la pertinence méthodologique et épistémologique de l’adoption d’un « style » littéraire par le chercheur. En dépit d’une irréductible dimension fictive, nous soutenons qu’un tel procédé peut permettre le partage d’une expérience, notamment traumatique, laquelle peut alors constituer une donnée de recherche.
Compte rendu : Au bord des mondes, vers une anthropologie métaphysique de Mohamed Amer Meziane
Authors: Merabet Sabrina
Published: April 2024

L’anthropologie de la nature permet-elle de sortir du monde théorico-impérial ? Cet article propose de présenter la réponse que nous apporte le philosophe Mohamed Amer Meziane à travers son second ouvrage Au bord des mondes, vers une anthropologie métaphysique publié aux Éditions Vues de l’Esprit. Ce compte rendu souhaite mettre en exergue la richesse d’une approche philosophique de l’anthropologie permettant d’amorcer une véritable décolonisation des savoirs. Au-delà de proposer une critique de la subsistance d’arrière-mondes coloniaux dans l’ombre du monde de l’anthropologie de la nature, l’œuvre de Mohamed Amer Meziane injecte du sens dans les bords du monde, de la tradition soufie à la psychanalyse, faisant ainsi de cet ouvrage un geste éminemment politique et philosophique, mais, surtout, profondément anticolonial.
Les capitula des villes de Provence au xv e siècle : jalons pour une enquête
Authors: Hébert Michel
Published: April 2024

Ce texte s’intéresse à la pratique largement
attestée dans la Provence des xive et
xve siècles de la supplique politique
capitulée, soumise aux princes en plusieurs articles par les
communautés urbaines et villageoises. Pareilles requêtes se
multiplient à partir des années 1380-1390, au moment de
l’établissement dans le comté de Provence de la seconde maison d’Anjou
dont la légitimité pouvait apparaître fragile et qui fut sujette à une
importante rébellion. Instrument de dialogue et de pacification,
inspirée d’une pratique développée par les assemblées d’états, la
supplique capitulée s’impose comme forme documentaire bien établie dès
les premières années du xve
siècle et elle porte sur une très grande variété de sujets. Dans le
cadre d’un projet de recherche plus large, la présente contribution
examine, sur la forme et sur le fond, les suppliques présentées par
quatre localités urbaines et villageoises entre 1402 et 1482, situées
au cœur de la négociation du contrat politique.
Le discours remontrant parlementaire à la veille de la Révolution : de l’audace, rien que de l’audace ?
Authors: Bidouze Frédéric
Published: April 2024

Les remontrances parlementaires sont de moins en
moins lues à partir du milieu du xviiie
siècle par un public gagné par les brochures et autres factums
relatifs aux affaires publiques ; toujours diffusées, notamment les
plus accrocheuses, elles n’en poursuivent pas moins leur travail de
résistance aux édits du Roi, à Paris, comme en province. Elles
s’opposent aux décisions qui peuvent entamer ou supprimer les
privilèges des magistrats et de leurs ressorts, saper les fondements
d’une solidarité parlementaire de circonstance (comme l’Union des
classes) tout en entraînant derrière elles une opposition au «
despotisme ministériel » aussi variée que contradictoire. En ce sens,
elles incarnent sous l’Ancien Régime une contestation perpétuelle,
systématique et surtout indispensable à la défense des libertés et de
la liberté. Si elles ne sont pas efficaces directement, les
remontrances obstruent, bloquent, s’insinuent dans le vocabulaire
ambiant de la sphère publique et participent au syncrétisme
identitaire des résistances françaises à la veille de la
Révolution.
Doléances de la noblesse comtoise dans l’État bourguignon naissant (1384-1404)
Authors: Bubenicek Michelle
Published: April 2024

Maître de la Franche-Comté à partir de 1384, le
duc de Bourgogne Philippe le Hardi se montre soucieux d’y implanter,
par l’ordonnance du 20 mai 1386, et en totale rupture avec les
précédentes décennies, une justice princière hiérarchisée et
efficiente, notamment par le biais de l’appel à sa cour souveraine de
Dole. Cette situation inédite fait réagir la noblesse locale, qui lui
oppose nombre de doléances, elles-mêmes à l’origine de deux
ordonnances princières correctrices. Sauf exception, l’heure n’est
donc plus, chez les nobles comtois, aux prises d’armes pour défendre
droits et privilèges, mais à d’autres formes de résistance, dont fait
assurément partie la doléance réitérée et à laquelle le pouvoir
princier se doit de faire droit sous peine de se décrédibiliser. Au
tournant des xive et xve siècles, cette doléance nobiliaire évolue
cependant dans sa forme. Associant désormais, pour plus d’efficacité,
« d’autres subjets » du prince, elle n’est plus corporatiste mais
collective.
L’audience en actes et l’acte d’audience : le tournant administratif sous le règne d’Isabelle la Catholique
Authors: Foronda François
Published: April 2024

Les audiences publiques de la reine Isabelle de
Castille à Séville en 1477 font événement en raison d’une rare
conjonction documentaire. En effet, à leur rendu historiographique
marquant répond leur trace archivistique significative, à tel point
qu’elle inaugure la série des Memoriales de la Chambre de Castille,
conservée à l’Archivo General de Simancas. Cette conjonction est
l’occasion d’examiner le fonctionnement du rituel de l’audience
publique en Castille à la fin du Moyen Âge. Quand Isabelle s’en empare
en 1477, l’audience publique fait figure de test de bon gouvernement.
Et il s’agit d’un test risqué, tant il avait déjà permis à certains de
découvrir chez le prince un penchant tyrannique. Face à ce risque, la
voie de l’administration, que les actes conservés permettent donc de
retracer, participe d’une cérémonialisation de l’acte d’audience qui
emporte aussi probablement sa dépolitisation.
Pétitions et engagements collectifs dans les territoires frontaliers septentrionaux (juin 1791-août 1792)
Authors: Kaci Maxime
Published: April 2024

Entre la fuite du roi en juin 1791 et
l’instauration de la Première République en septembre 1792, la France
est gagnée par l’incertitude. Bien que la faculté de pétitionner en
nom collectif soit proscrite par l’Assemblée constituante, les
déclarations signées, adresses et autres pétitions deviennent, dans ce
contexte, des modes d’expression répandus pour exprimer collectivement
craintes et espérances. Ces écrits sont le fruit d’échanges et de
négociations riches d’enseignements. Tout d’abord, les conditions de
production des pétitions révèlent les liens qu’entretiennent les
populations septentrionales avec les débats et les acteurs politiques.
Ensuite le choix de pétitionner ne prend toute sa signification que
lorsqu’il est intégré dans un ensemble plus large de moyens
d’expression complémentaires et concurrents. Enfin, le destinataire et
l’objectif affiché de la pétition soulignent l’articulation entre
préoccupations locales et enjeux nationaux.
La Philosophie de la Révolution, un texte marxiste : de la Révolution politique à la révolution sociale
Authors: Inowlocki Didier
Published: April 2024

Principalement consacré aux deux premiers articles de La Philosophie de la Révolution, ce chapitre met en évidence l’inspiration marxiste du texte. Il reconstruit son canevas historique précis et contemporain afin de lui redonner le sens circonstancié qu’il avait au moment de sa première publication sous forme de trois articles parus dans le journal égyptien Aâkhir sâ‘a le 12 août et le 16 septembre 1953 puis le 6 janvier 1954. Le texte est replacé dans le contexte de compétition pour le leadership de la Révolution entre Nasser et Mohammed Naguib. Ce faisant, on revient sur sa genèse et en particulier sur le fait que Muḥammad Ḥasanayn Haykal a participé à sa rédaction. On constate que le texte émane d’une élite locale en situation coloniale ayant, de par sa situation sociale intermédiaire, le souci de la justice sociale. Ce souci de justice sociale devait assurer la coopération de la jeune garde wafdiste de gauche. Elle fit en réalité défection. L’un de ses membres, Ibrâhîm Ṭal‘at, publia trois articles sous le titre « La Philosophie du coup d’État » dans le journal égyptien al-Miṣrî. Il félicita les Officiers libres pour avoir destitué le roi et leur demanda de retourner dans leurs casernes. On découvre que La Philosophie de la Révolution est une réponse à ces articles. Nasser affirme qu’il ne s’agit pas d’un coup d’État mais d’une véritable révolution destinée à bouleverser les structures sociales de l’Égypte et, en particulier, les structures agraires.
Comment saisir les infractions juvéniles numériques ? Réflexions sur les sources et les catégories d’infraction
Authors: Henaff Gaël , Potin Émilie , Seznec Aurélie
Published: April 2024

La délinquance juvénile numérique n’échappe pas à la difficulté de mettre en résonance la délinquance visible qui s’appuie sur les instruments de renseignement des faits par les institutions en charge de les traiter de la délinquance réelle. Cet article propose centralement d’interroger les difficultés de mesure de la délinquance numérique juvénile en questionnant l’hétérogénéité des sources et des nomenclatures d’infraction. La démonstration montre l’augmentation des incriminations spécifiques au numérique sans pour autant dresser le constat d’une correspondance entre le nombre d’incriminations dans chaque catégorie et le nombre de poursuites judiciaires.
Juin 1982 – Quand le disco devient dance
Authors: Haddon Mimi
Published: April 2024

Cet article analyse la transformation du disco en « musique dance », au sein des musiques populaires nord-américaines au début des années 1980. Je reviens tout d’abord sur un supplément du magazine Billboard, paru le 19 juin 1982, et consacré à une nouvelle catégorie connue sous le nom de « dance music ». À l’aide d’idées développées par David Brackett en 2016, dans son ouvrage Categorizing Sound, j’analyse cette transition générique de deux manières différentes. Dans un premier temps, je m’intéresse à la transition entre le disco et la dance selon l’idée de « niveau » de genres musicaux, et du concept concomitant d’« échec de la coordination » d’usage des étiquettes génériques au travers différents supports médiatiques, comme les palmarès de Billboard, la radio, les pistes de danse et les magasins de disques. Dans un second temps, je m’appuie sur l’idée de « regroupements provisoires » afin de souligner que les musiques populaires peuvent participer de plusieurs genres musicaux à la fois, et que différents critères génériques peuvent produire différents regroupements, parfois étonnants. Je suggère que ces regroupements émergents peuvent servir l’historiographie de la dance-music. Plus spécifiquement, je me demande si les sociabilités pré-rock et les groupes féminins sont ressuscités par les esthétiques ludiques des musiques disco-dance. Pour finir, peut-être la nouvelle dance music des années 1980 a-t-elle autant à voir avec les sociabilités de groupes féminins noirs et une pratique musicale incarnée, qu’elle n’a de rapport avec les nouveaux synthétiseurs, les bruits électroniques granuleux et un minimalisme épars.
Donjons & synthétiseurs : le dungeon synth, émergence d’un genre musical sur YouTube et Bandcamp
Authors: Dima Iulia , Pilo Baptiste
Published: April 2024

Cet article propose une première exploration d’un genre de musique électronique relativement anonyme : le dungeon synth. Il connaît un certain essor en ligne depuis le milieu des années 2010, notamment via YouTube et Bandcamp. Historiquement proche du black metal, le dungeon synth semble avoir acquis au fil des années une autonomie en tant que genre. Il se distingue par une utilisation quasi-exclusive de synthétiseurs et un fort attrait pour un imaginaire médiévaliste et fantasy. Nous tâcherons de comprendre en quoi cet imaginaire est constitutif de l’identité de ce genre musical en l’observant à travers certains de ses éléments phonographiques et paraphonographiques.
HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGE (HSI)-ASSISTED MULTI-LEVEL CROP CLASSIFICATION WITH SPINALNET-ENABLED FRACTIONAL LIGHT SPECTRUM OPTIMIZER
Authors: Dharrao Deepak , Deokate Sarika , Rajput Satpalsing , Ambala Srinivas
Published: April 2024

The accurate categorization of crop kinds with hyperspectral remote sensing imaging (HRSI) represents an imperative adaption in agriculture and is of huge emergence in estimating the yield of crops and monitoring growth. Amidst the deep models, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) tend to be the best technique for hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. However, the classical CNN poses a fixed shape, which poses simulation complexity in modeling huge ranges. To handle the problem, a two-level classification technique is developed for crop classification using HSI. The aim is to design a Spinal Net-assisted multi-level crop classification using HSI. Here, a hyperspectral satellite crop image is taken as input, and the anisotropic diffusion is used for pre-processing. U-Net is applied to segment crops. The feature mining is executed considering spectral-spatial features, and vegetation index features. The hyperspectral crop identification process is engaged with Squeeze Net, which is trained by fractional light spectrum optimizer (FLSO). In this step, if the hyperspectral crop is identified, then the multi-level crop type classification process is carried out using FLSO-based Spinal Net. The FLSO-based Spinal Net provided better accuracy of 92.2%, false positive rate (FPR) of 0.083, and true positive rate (TPR) of 91.7%.
Learning to Read Literature Amidst the Science of Reading
Authors: Kellogg Geoffrey C.
Published: April 2024

Lately there has been a renewed push to base educational policy and curriculum around the “science of reading.” The theories of reading that undergird this movement have intermittently been updated, but nevertheless they are inadequate for guiding the teaching of literature. Because these theories tend to focus on meaning at the word level, they overlook text-based challenges. Additionally, they give insufficient priority to many reader-based factors such as background knowledge and strategy use. This chapter explores these shortcomings and how they obscure the ways that successful readers of literature make use of prior knowledge, affective involvement, and literature-specific reading strategies in order to overcome the special challenges presented by literary text and construct textual meaning. Implications for classroom teaching are discussed.
Building Expertise and Efficacy Through a Decision-Mapping Model With Preservice and Inservice Educators
Authors: Morris Alana , Benge Cindy
Published: April 2024

This chapter explores a concrete, layered planning process for integrating literacy arenas into lesson designs that leads to both self- and collective efficacies for preservice and inservice educators within all disciplines. Learning transfer theories and current research on expertise are included as these are essential constructs related to efficacy and building early educator capacity for making instructional decisions. A specific literacy integration decision-mapping model, implemented within a content area reading course, will be presented and discussed. Because implementation with this model is in the early stages, opportunities for continued discourse, research, extended application, and permutations are anticipated. Examples, recommendations, and implications are discussed within the chapter.

A New Paradigmatic Sufficiency
Authors: Hayes Catherine
Published: April 2024

This chapter explores the key epistemologies or ways of knowing, from a theoretical perspective, that can be used to ensure the level of authenticity necessary to highlight the pedagogical shifts in the application of learning theory which now characterise responsive curriculum design and adaptation to accommodate extended reality (XR) in practice. The necessity to integrate pedagogical principles of XR in experiential learning is now an integral part of the new paradigmatic sufficiency which will characterise curriculum justification, development, and implementation. This chapter also highlights the need for consideration of the situated nature of learning, alongside the interprofessional and multi-disciplinary contexts within which it takes place.

Continuing education, which includes vocational and personal training for adults, is necessary for achieving individual goals at the micro level and social goals at the macro level. Learning activities organised for individuals to acquire the skills and competencies they need should be designed and conducted in a way to quickly adapt to the current era and possible future conditions and requirements. It can be said that traditional face-to-face or campus-based and instructor-centred continuing education activities will be replaced by flexibility, individualisation, autonomy, interactive, and immersive learning experiences. In this direction, the concepts of continuing education and Metaverse are first analysed in the book chapter, and then continuing education in the Metaverse is briefly evaluated with examples from different fields.
Technology in Lifelong Language Learning
Authors: Levi Elisabeth I.
Published: April 2024

Language learning through apps and other technologies is gaining popularity with adult learners, driven by recreational and pragmatic motivations. This chapter explores how various technologies promote language learning. To provide effective language instruction, developers must integrate communication and support language use in authentic contexts. Learners must identify tools suited to their needs. Virtual and augmented reality tools provide immersive language experiences. Serious gaming and gamification strategies can bolster motivation, while personalized learning tools, including AI, adapt to individual proficiencies. Social media fosters interaction, and digital certifications help learners to demonstrate and receive recognition for their skills. However, as technology simplifies communication across languages, the need to develop high-level language proficiency becomes less evident. Thus, as technology reshapes communication, its use in language teaching and learning must meet users' changing needs, providing motivating, authentic methods to develop and practice language skills.
Quality Assurance in Higher Education
Authors: Handke Stefan
Published: April 2024

This chapter examines whether post-crisis regions can benefit from quality assurance in higher education. To this end, it defines what notions of quality exist and how quality can be improved. Special attention is given to the formalized process of accreditation of study programs. From the perspective of neo-institutionalism, it is argued that quality assurance as a rule-based process requires functioning state structures. For post-crisis regions, it is therefore of crucial importance whether or not crises and traumas have an impact on the existence of the state. It is postulated that without an effective administrative and legal system, accreditation or other forms of legally binding quality assurance are not useful. Rather, low-threshold procedures based on the principle of fitness for/of purpose would be recommended in such cases.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the entire world causing every aspect of the higher education ecosystem to undergo a tipping point. The total mandatory lockdown resulted in all academic activities from learning to administrative activities coming to a standstill as institutions did not know how to go around it. Employees' job security, indefinite suspension of lectures, disruption of the university calendar, employee work-life balance, and business continuity were all operational challenges faced by universities during the pandemic. This chapter aims to establish the resilience strategies implemented by higher education institutions in South Africa and Zimbabwe as they strived to continue delivering services to stakeholders during and after the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Digital transformation as a primary resilience strategy enabled HEIs to implement online learning and work from home for academic and non-academic staff for university business continuity.
Learning From Chaos
Authors: Hosek Vicki A. , Percell Jay C.
Published: April 2024

Online course experiences of undergraduate students continue to grow due to both a pre- and mid-COVID-19 pandemic increase in online courses offered and taken at universities. In this study, students identified the benefits and challenges of an online course format and their online learning needs for achievement of learning objectives. While the majority of the students in this study had previous online course experiences, they were not confident in their ability to reach learning objectives in that course format. Students identified a lack of specific digital and life skills as well as instructor issues with communication and organization of online course content as their primary concerns. Suggested improvement of practices based on findings include: a focus on assessment and development of the digital literacy and life skills of students, clear communication of course requirements while ensuring students' realistic understanding of course commitments, and professional development opportunities for instructors that are closely reflective of students' online learning needs.
Tales of the Unexpected
Authors: Hayes Catherine
Published: April 2024

This chapter explores the potential for strategic organizational frameworks and applied methodological perspectives to aid workforce contexts in harnessing the transferable agency of those equipped experientially for leadership in times of unprecedented crisis. Academic research and scholarship must be needs-led not methods-driven, and as the recent pandemic demonstrated, authentic leadership had never been more important. Transitional change through the crisis of the global pandemic led to shifts to greater acknowledgement of the need for a different type of knowledge creation and replacing the contexts of validity and reliability in empirical research with those of trustworthiness and authenticity. In providing some of these organizational frameworks and methodological perspectives in an accessible manner, many can be systematically applied to the context of everyday strategic planning and institutional management settings so that tangible target outcomes are visible, achievable, and perhaps, most importantly, remain person-centered.

Machine Learning Algorithms Used for Iris Flower Classification
Authors: Nath Rituparna , Devi Arunima
Published: April 2024

Classification is a supervised machine learning technique which is used to predict group membership for data instances. For simplification of classification, one may use scikit-learn tool kit. This chapter mainly focuses on the classification of Iris dataset using scikit-learn. It concerns the recognition of Iris flower species (setosa, versicolor, and verginica) on the basis of the measurements of length and width of sepal and petal of the flower. One can generate classification models by using various machine learning algorithms through training the iris flower dataset, and can choose the model with highest accuracy to predict the species of iris flower more precisely. Classification of Iris dataset would be detecting patterns from examining sepal and petal size of the Iris flower and how the prediction was made from analyzing the pattern to form the class of Iris flower. By using this pattern and classification, in future upcoming years the unseen data can be predicted more precisely. The goal here is to gain insights to model the probabilities of class membership, conditioned on the flower features. The proposed chapter mainly focuses on how one can train their model with data using machine learning algorithms to predict the species of Iris flower by input of the unseen data using what it has learnt from the trained data.

Achieving Better Customer Experience by Harmonizing Automation and Human Touch
Authors: Kesavaraj Geeta , Shabanabi P.
Published: April 2024

A major obstacle in the realm of digital business is striking a balance between automation and human interaction. CRM systems, business intelligence, and machine learning (ML) are some digital tools that can help scale marketing operations. However, they can also result in bad service and impersonal, misdirected communications. It's not at all an abstract issue. Companies that over-automate procedures and depend too much on technology run the danger of failing. Customers' most valuable experience—feeling valued and respected—virtually vanishes. It should come as no surprise that the accumulation of negative experiences—from pointless emails to being unable to get in touch with someone when needed—erodes consumer loyalty, drives away clients, and destroys revenue. How might an automated system help an organization keep its human touch? In what ways may technology be utilized to make a positive impact on customers? Even though it would be easy to see these two ideas as antagonistic, they work well together.
