DO VARIABLE COMPENSATION FROM CEOs HAMPER ADJUSTMENT IN COST BEHAVIOR?
Authors: Degenhart Larissa , Baú Dal Magro Cristian , Lunardi Micheli Aparecida , Costa da Silva Zonatto Vinícius
Published: August 2022

This research investigated whether the variable remuneration of CEOs impairs the adaptation in the cost behavior of 206 Brazilian companies. Descriptive, documentary and quantitative research using regression. The period of analysis comprised 2011 to 2015. The results revealed that, in general, there is no asymmetry in costs behavior, as the increase in revenue is not reflected in a drastic increase in costs. On the other hand, companies achieve an adaptation in costs by reducing them when sales revenue decreases, resulting in cost symmetry. However, when analyzing the effect of variable remuneration on the relationship between increase/decrease in sales revenue and cost behavior, the results indicated an asymmetrical behavior of costs, that is, the variable remuneration impairs the adjustment in the behavior of costs, since that there was an asymmetry in costs when including the remuneration variable for CEOs. These findings provide evidence for managers to establish parameters on the behavior of costs, especially when there is an increase in company revenues, since this is usually linked to the variable remuneration of CEOs. Efficient control over the behavior of costs can reduce agency conflicts between managers with contracts linked to variable remuneration, shareholders and investors. This research contributes by analyzing perspectives of managerial accounting (cost behavior) and financial accounting (variable remuneration of CEOs), an incipient relationship in the international and national context. It contributes to organizations by revealing that variable compensation impacts the behavior of costs and helps managers to make accurate decisions based on cost analysis and compensation based on profit and shares.

Published: August 2022

O futebol mundial tem cada vez mais alcançado proporções relevantes impactando diretamente a economia dos países. A preocupação com a estrutura desse mercado está associada à desigualdade existente entre os times, podendo afetar diretamente a capacidade de arrecadação dos clubes. Os principais campeonatos do mundo ocorrem no Brasil e na Europa, o que permite a comparação da forma de administrar o esporte em cada região. Assim, este artigo buscou caracterizar a estrutura de mercado do futebol brasileiro e europeu entre 2007 e 2017. Para isso, utilizou-se os índices: razão de concentração (CRk), Hirschman-Herfindahl (HHI), e Turnover. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que, no Brasil e na Europa, o grupo dos quatro maiores clubes controlaram cerca de 40% e 34% do mercado futebolístico, respectivamente. O HHI evidenciou baixa concentração, em ambos os mercados analisados. A análise da dinâmica de Turnover sugeriu que a taxa de permanência foi comparativamente maior no grupo dos clubes líderes, sugerindo que as barreiras à entrada reduziram gradualmente de forma vertical.

Com base na teoria da agência, o estudo objetiva avaliar a eficiência na alocação de recursos públicos destinados à educação do Ensino Médio, pelos estados das regiões Norte e Sudeste, entre 2005 a 2017, e verificar a relação dessa alocação com o fator socioeconômico Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) desses estados. O preparo metodológico foi o de uma pesquisa quantitativa com aplicação do modelo Data Envelopment Analysis para a mensuração da eficiência, empregando o modelo CCR com orientação a outputs. Na segunda etapa, procurou-se medir o IDH de anos faltantes pela técnica de imputação de dados e, por fim, utilizou-se o método regressão linear simples para verificar a relação entre as variáveis. Os resultados apontaram que seis estados apresentaram eficiência técnica em algum ano e que Roraima foi eficiente em todos os anos e lidera o ranking com a melhor média. Outros cinco estados não foram eficientes em nenhum período. No entanto, houve evolução de 2005 para 2017 em todos os estados, à exceção de Rondônia. Constatou-se que os menores estados tendem a ser os mais eficientes e que não são os maiores gastos em educação que produzem uma maior eficiência. A região Norte foi mais eficiente do que a Sudeste. O nível de correlação entre as variáveis eficiência e IDH só é estatisticamente significativo apenas para os dados da região Norte. Neste caso, a primeira variável exerce influência significativa sobre a segunda, o que se conclui pela aceitação da hipótese de pesquisa para esta região, separadamente.

Published: August 2022

A população em situação de rua carrega sobre si o peso do preconceito, sendo muitas vezes responsabilizada pela situação de vulnerabilidade em que se encontra. Embora políticas públicas venham sendo desenvolvidas para atender essa população, pode-se questionar se há participação social quando da implementação dessas políticas. Dessa forma, esta pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar se as políticas públicas destinadas a pessoas em situação de rua foram implementadas seguindo de processos decisórios participativos deliberativos. Uma revisão sistemática foi conduzida para selecionar artigos na base Scielo no período de 2014 a 2018. As políticas públicas implementadas foram analisadas a partir dos pressupostos da Gestão Social (TENÓRIO et al., 2008). Os resultados indicam que as políticas públicas direcionadas para pessoas em situação de rua precisam ser implementadas com maior participação da sociedade, organizada ou não, ouvindo aqueles que são os destinatários das ações e que sua participação seja de forma espontânea, observando seus direitos e peculiaridades.AbstractThe homeless population carries the weight of prejudice, often being held responsible for the situation of vulnerability in which they find themselves. Although public policies have been developed to serve this population, one can question whether there is social participation when these policies are implemented. Thus, this research aimed to analyze whether public policies aimed at homeless people were implemented following deliberative participatory decision-making processes. A systematic review was conducted to select articles in the Scielo database from 2014 to 2018. The public policies implemented were analyzed based on the assumptions of Social Management (TENÓRIO et al., 2008). The results indicate that public policies aimed at homeless people need to be implemented with greater participation of society, organized or not, listening to those who are the recipients of the actions, whose participation might be spontaneous, observing the rights and peculiarities of homeless people.

Published: August 2022

This study examined comparative study of intercity transport companies in Benin City, Nigeria. The study sample consists of four hundred respondents drawn from across the four leading interstate transport companies in Benin City. A questionnaire instrument was used to gather the needed information and the analytical techniques employed include simple percentage, t-test and Analysis of variance (ANOVA). All tests were performed at the 0.05 level of statistical significance. The findings revealed that God is Good Motors was rated far higher than the other transport companies by passengers while Iyare Motors was rated the least. Furthermore, we found that there is no significant relationship between respondents’ gender and customer perception of service quality in interstate transport companies. However, educational qualification and age had a significant relationship with passengers’ perception of service quality. We recommend that interstate transport companies should concentrate more on issues such as safety, comfort on the road, respect for passengers and regular maintenance of vehicles as well as replacing unserviceable vehicles with new ones to avoid frequent vehicle breakdown on the high way

This study aims to explore the pattern of career choice among students who have gone through various entrepreneurship programs at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. This study used primary data involving 369 final year students of the 2013/2016 cohort from seven faculties. This descriptive study used a questionnaire as its instrument. Although there are several entrepreneurship programs with university compulsory status, faculty compulsory, compulsory program and residential college compulsory, the findings of the study show that students ’career choice patterns are more inclined towards salaried work, further education, and finally entrepreneurship. The findings of the study are expected because the respondents are a pilot cohort of entrepreneurship programs in universities where the entrepreneurship curriculum is still in its early stages and the pedagogy of teaching and learning still needs a lot of improvement. The clusters of students who showed the highest interest in entrepreneurial prospects were from the Faculty of Built Environment Engineering, the Faculty of Economics and Management, and the Faculty of Education. The implications of the study to be discussed are referring to the management and administration of programs and courses.
Nature Or Nurture?: The Case of Entrepreneurship Education in Job Creation
Authors: Abdul Wafi Anisah , Mohamed Suriani , Hanapi Zaliza
Published: August 2022

Student employability is a common issue faced by most Malaysian public universities as reported by the Ministry of Higher Education. The program structure of most undergraduate degree revealed that university graduates fulfilled practical courses such as entrepreneurship which should assist in reducing the unemployment rate among fresh graduates. However, each year, the annual report on employability presents similar scenarios where graduates do not suit the employee requirements or have failed as a job creator despite using the employability skills which they have attained. Thus, this study aims to identify the effectiveness of an entrepreneurship education course among TVET students besides determining suitable pedagogical approaches in entrepreneurship education. This study also attempts to outline the key factors of students’ motivation in entrepreneurship involvement upon graduation. Data was collected by using semi-structured interview among 27 final year students based on their experience during participating in the entrepreneurship carnival. The thematic analysis was employed to identify related narratives recurring patterns or themes. This study generally found that students have some difficulty in applying entrepreneurship knowledge to a real situation. Therefore, educators should improvise their teaching method to a more current and suitable style to influence the student's motivation and intentions of becoming an entrepreneur. In addition, entrepreneurship education is an important program to aid the government in addressing unemployment. It also can facilitate graduates to become as a job creator besides as a job seeker.

Introduction: Down syndrome (DS) is a common genetic disorder, occurring in approximately 1 in 700 births. It results from an extra copy (triplication) of the whole or part of the long arm of chromosome 21 caused by different cytogenetic alterations: free trisomy, Robertsonian translocations, mosaicism, duplication of the critical region and other structural rearrangements. Non-Robertsonian chromosome translocations are very rare events with few cases reported. Case Report: We identified the non-Robertsonian translocation t(11;21)(p13;q22) and two chromosomes 21 in a female child referred with a clinical diagnosis of trisomy 21.  The infant developed the transient myeloproliferative disorder at 17 months. Cytogenetic analysis was performed in lymphocytes and bone marrow metaphases according to standard procedure - G banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization.  The karyotype study of the parents revealed that her phenotypically normal mother carries the same reciprocal translocation. Conclusion: This is the second report of the translocation t(11;21)(p13;q22),  the first one resulting in DS.  This description expands knowledge about cytogenetic variability in the etiology of DS. Future studies are needed to investigate the long-term clinical effects of the trisomy 21 associated with t(11;21)(p13;q22).
V BASHILOV’S AND E. LOONE’S CONCEPT OF THE THREE-LEVEL STRUCTURE OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL COGNITION AND ITS CRITIQUE IN THE SOVIET THEORETICAL ARCHAEOLOGY
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Paliienko S.
Published: August 2022

The Soviet theoretical archaeology formed in the USSR at the beginning of 1970s and had existed till the beginning of 1990s. The discussion on the object and subject-matter of archaeology, which had been taking place from 1972 till 1992, was an important issue for theorists. It might be divided into two periods – (1972–1983) and (1984–1992). Debating V. Gening’s book was a central topic during the second period but a few alternative concepts were proposed by certain authors that time. Thus, in 1986 the article ‘On the Levels of Knowledge and Cognitive aims of Archaeology’ was published by V Bashilov and E. Loone in the journal Soviet archaeology. Authors offered a hypothesis that a special reconstructive level of knowledge exists in archaeology preceding empiric and theoretical levels. Before the publication this concept was discussed at the session of the Methodological workshop of LOIA AS USSR on 2nd January 1986 in Leningrad. Then a critical paper was presented by V. Boryaz. Also M. Anikovich participated in the debate criticizing this theory. This discussion continued on pages of the journal Soviet archaeology where reviews of the article were published by V. Boryaz, M. Anikovich, V. Victorova, G. Grigoryev & V. Bochkarev, A. Pryakhin, and R. Vasilevsky & A. Simanov in the issue №1 in 1988. All these scholars refused the idea of the three-level structure of archaeology. They criticized both V Bashilov’s & E. Loone’s concept and a historiographic part of their work. The critique of the concept might be divided into three levels: general scientific (a difference between humanities and sciences), particular scientific (a ratio of history and archaeology) and internal scientific (the level structure of archaeological cognition and the notion of reconstruction). The article was criticized from different methodological points because a part of reviewers were authors of their own theories of the object and subject-matter of archaeological science representing almost all trends of the Soviet theoretical archaeology.

Published: August 2022

In this paper the international political situation, which was established in Europe and in the world in the latter half of the 30s of the 20th century, is investigated. The authors draw a comparison between the 20s and 30s of the 20th century, pointing out that the 30s brought a series of military conflicts, as well as say that the fear of a new great war has been appeared throughout the world. Attention is drawn to the inactivity of the League of Nations, which failed to ensure a collective security policy between 1936 and 1938. Special attention has been drawn to the appeasement policy and the role of Great Britain and France in this policy, who did not want to bring the situation to military confrontation. It is pointed out that by the mid-1930s Germany went on the offensive and set itself the goal of achieving supremacy in Europe. Special attention is drawn to the reaction of Western countries to Hitler’s aggressive policy, as well as the actions of the Soviet Union and the policy carried out by Moscow on the eve of World War II are assessed. It is stated that in 1938-1939 the world policy increasingly focused on particular regions, where the conflict number and intensity were increasing sharply. The role of the Munich Conference in September 1938 and the fact that the initiative in international affairs was completely transferred to A. Hitler upon the signing of the agreement are determined. The policy of Great Britain and France after the Munich Conspiracy is analysed; it is explained why London and Paris thought primarily about personal security. A special place in this paper is given to the explanation of why the existing international system could no longer ensure the world order and why war becomes inevitable. The authors come to the conclusion that although Hitler managed to win the diplomatic struggle on the eve of World War II, but he did not finally become a triumphant.
INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENT OF COMMERCIAL SHIPPING ON THE LOWER DANUBE IN THE XIX – EARLY XX CENTURIES
Authors:   Public association «Kraievied», Odesa, Ukraine, Shevchenko Andrii
Published: August 2022

The article analyzes the main international acts, treaties, conventions governing commercial shipping in the Lower Danube in the XIX – early XX centuries. Considerable attention is paid to the periodization and peculiarities of international diplomacy regarding commercial shipping on the Danube. The measures of European states for the introduction of a single legal regime and guarantees of safety of navigation on the Danube are considered. The attempts of the Russian Empire to establish political, economic and legal hegemony in the European international shipping trade are analyzed. The process of creation of the European Danube Commission (hereinafter – EDC) and its place in the deployment of international shipping in the region is studied. By the middle of the XIX century most often used bilateral diplomacy aimed at strengthening the presence of European countries on the Danube. Britain, Austria, and Russia actually imposed their conditions on the Ottoman Empire regarding shipping and trade relations. The Russian Empire almost monopolized its presence on the Lower Danube with the Peace of Bucharest (1812), the Peace of Andrianople (1829), and the Ackermann Convention of 1826, much to the displeasure of leading European countries. Therefore, from the middle of the XIX century efforts of European countries (including Britain, France, Austria) were aimed at ousting Russia not only from the Danube, but from the Budzhak region and the creation of an international commission (EDC), which would regulate commercial shipping. Russia’s defeat in the Crimean War of 1853-1856 and the loss of the Danube part of Budzhak temporarily drove it out of the Danube region. The legal alternative was the activity of the EDC, which was clearly regulated by international treaties and conventions. In addition to regulating the shipping regime, the EDC dealt with the issue of quarantine, arrangement of shipping channels, legal regime in the area of responsibility. Even the victory in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 failed to restore Russia’s full presence. The agreements of 1878–1883, according to which Russia regained the Danube part of Budzhak and the Kiliia estuary, became a certain compromise, and the powers of the EDC extended to the entire Lower Danube. Until 1918, control over waterways continued to be exercised by the European Danube Commission, which in turn also did not take into account the interests of the newly formed Danube states (Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria).
Mission Fulfillment and Organization Programming in a Time of Crisis

Published: August 2022

Prior to the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was little research on how nonprofit organizations fulfill their mission in a time of crisis. The mission of an opera company or orchestra is to present quality and innovative works to the community they are in. Typically, this is done by producing work for the stage and by creating an appreciation for music through education programs in local schools. At the beginning of 2020, the world saw the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many business across the United States were forced to close with the exception of "essential" businesses remaining open and performing arts organizations had to cancel or postpone the spring portions of their seasons. Therefore, performing arts nonprofits were left asking how they were going to fulfill their missions since they could not be on the stage or in schools. Performing arts organizations have never had to completely reevaluate the way that they operate because of a pandemic or crisis of this size. Through interviews and research, it can be seen that three prominent organizations in the Philadelphia area-The Philly POPS, The Philadelphia Orchestra, and Opera Philadelphia-did not allow the COVID-19 pandemic to keep them from fulfilling their missions. These organizations were able to use social media and their websites to continue engaging with their audiences. It is likely that virtual programming will continue to be used in regular season and education programming for the organizations mentioned in this study. Through digital content and virtual programming, performing arts organizations can continue to fulfill their missions and support their communities.

Una mirada atenta

Published: August 2022

El primer escrito muestra por qué es posible una investigación de naturaleza sociológica sobre la moral de una sociedad, en general, y de la sociedad colombiana, en particular. El segundo intenta definir lo que habría de entenderse por Ética, y por lo que significa decir que “la ética es una investigación filosófica”. El tercero y el cuarto examinan el significado de las palabras “ética” y “moral” en los textos de los filósofos, desde Aristóteles hasta M. Foucault. El quinto advierte una continuidad por partida doble entre el Protágoras y el Gorgias: una que está dada, sobre todo, por la gran similitud que Platón veía entre la sofística y la retórica, otra que se da por un crescendo irónico y polémico fincado en las líneas fundamentales de la teoría política que Platón determinó en el lapso que separa la redacción de los dos diálogos. El sexto halla en El Banquete la real actitud de Sócrates con respecto a un amor que tiene que ver con la ironía, con algo de Sócrates mismo que se transforma en encubrimiento revelador de la relación de eros con el deseo de saber. El séptimo trata de Montaigne y de esa forma de escribir que es el ensayo. El octavo es une exposición del pensamiento de Sigmund Freud.
Growth and cooperation of Latin American Countries: The role of industrial knowledge
Authors: Baquero Cruz Gesny Yadira , Florez Torres Greys M. , Hanappi Gerhard
Published: August 2022

A direct comparison of the welfare implications of pure competition between the states of Latin America and the outcome of a cooperative set of actions of these states is not possible. Laboratory experiments in the social sciences are impossible; societies experience just one run through history. Nevertheless, a concise study of the performance of a specific tool of cooperation, namely the Industrial Knowledge Bank (IKB), can be performed. If over time, such a tool attracts more and more countries, which formerly relied on competitive forces only, then an indirect proof of the superiority of cooperation can be assumed. The industrial knowledge is exchanged via specified projects, which form a network in the IKB data-bank. Then, the evolution of the structure of this network mimics the growth of the actual cooperative industrial projects. This paper provides a brief history and description of this institutional attempt to increase cooperation. It also shows the most relevant bottlenecks met by this project. Further, a clear picture of the state of industrial cooperation across South America is studied in detail through the development of the nodes of this network. We then use two indices typical for welfare increase to compare Latin American countries being part of the cooperation with those not taking part. The visible correlation can be interpreted as a hint of the advantages of cooperation. In conclusion, we provide some possible future scenarios for further industrial development in Latin America based on the study of this Industrial Knowledge Bank.
Leaders and Whistleblowers: Application of Whistleblowing in Islamic Financial Institutions

Published: August 2022

One way that can be done to minimize fraud that occurs in an institution is by using a whistleblowing system. This system serves as a reporting platform for employees who know of fraud that occurred in an agency. The whistleblowing system, if implemented, has various consequences on the continuity of the institution and on the person who reports the fraud. This study aims to determine the leader’s support that affects the intention to whistleblowing BMT employees. This study uses descriptive qualitative research using in-depth interviews. The result of this research is that the whistleblowing system has not been fully implemented in several companies, meaning they do not know about the system. In one company, the leader already knows what whistleblowing is. In terms of understanding, they do not understand it, but for the implementation, they have done it with different terms. In this case, the leader also plays an important role in reporting fraud. A leader should support and protect the reporter since it may incentivize the employee’s intention to become a whistleblower.

Published: August 2022

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is the most frequent head and neck cancer. The incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma significantly increased. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is associated with risk factors linked to a lifestyle that usually begins in adolescence and young adulthood, such as undergraduate students. This research identifies undergraduate students' knowledge, attitude, and behavior about nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The study used a descriptive study with a cluster sampling method. As many as 100 undergraduate students from 8 faculties in Tanjungpura University filled out a questionnaire and analyzed using a statistical program with a descriptive statistical test. As much as  82% of respondents had received information about nasopharyngeal carcinoma from various sources. Knowledge was divided into 3 categories of levels, namely good (76-100% correct), fair (56-75% correct), and poor (56%). At the same time, attitude and behavior were divided into positive (score20) and negative (score20). The test results showed that the level of knowledge of the undergraduate students of 52% was good, the attitude was 100% positive, and the behavior was 100% positive. Therefore, undergraduate students at Tanjungpura University had good knowledge, a positive attitude, and positive behavior toward nasopharyngeal carcinoma. This study implies that adequate information is important in determining knowledge, attitudes, and behavior towards nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

In Indonesia, the burden of tuberculosis (TB) infection is significant, and there is likely a substantial link between TB and malnutrition. Anemia, which is linked to TB patient outcomes and length of hospital stay, is another issue that might aggravate the disease. This study aims to identify how common undernutrition and anemia are among tuberculosis patients at the Ulin Regional Hospital in Banjarmasin. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted using medical record data from 31 hospitalized tuberculosis patients during the period of September to December 2021. Data of weight, height, body mass index (BMI), Hemoglobin (Hb) and blood albumin level at admission were analyzed. The result shows that tuberculosis cases are mostly found in the male (61.3%) with the age of 20-60 years (83.9%). There were 42% patients with undernutrition (BMI 18.5), 93.5% with anemia and 71% had hypoalbuminemia. Rifampicin resistance was found in 38.7% of all patients with 58.3% being malnourished, 100% had anemia, and 50% had hypoalbuminemia. There was a possible link between tuberculosis and under nutrition. Therefore, screening, early diagnosis, and treatment for under nutrition, anemia, and hypoalbuminemia should be encouraged in patients with tuberculosis, whether susceptible or resistant to rifampicin, to lower the burden of the disease.

Communication Analysis Generated on Facebook by the Candidates for the Presidency of Ecuador 2021
Authors: Romero Estrada María , Ramos Alejandro Yessenia
Published: August 2022

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic also affected the electoral agenda of political action between 2020 and 2021. With the health emergency, the governments of Latin America faced challenges to guarantee the right to vote. Among the substantial changes, atypical campaigns were carried out through digital platforms, such as the social network Facebook. Seta investigation focuses on analyzing the communication of Andrés Arauz and Guillermo Lasso, presidential candidates of Ecuador, through their official Facebook accounts; during the last week prior to the voting of the second round. The methodology used has a quantitative approach, under the compound week technique and with the support of a validated technical sheet for data recording. The results point to being able to exercise adequate management of online content with specific schedules and themes to be positioned during campaign times, with the aim of - among other things - achieving the objectives. Well, it was found that a higher generation of posts in a high-trend social network such as Facebook does not mean precisely reaching the proposed goals. In the same way, that a “negative” or “mixed” campaign does not always penetrate the population, it all depends on the context and the strategy.
Los tiempos de la Iglesia militante: temporalidad de un concepto en el Ecuador del siglo XIX
Authors: Vizuete Marcillo Luis Esteban
Published: August 2022

El artículo hace una breve aproximación a los cambios en la concepción de tiempo e historia que se expresaron en los usos y sentidos del concepto Iglesia militante en Ecuador. En el siglo XIX se da el paso de una historia magistra vitae cíclica y repetitiva hacia una historia moderna con acontecimiento irrepetibles y lineal. Esto estuvo relacionado a la conformación y declive del proyecto de República católica que presentaba al Ecuador como una república modelo y baluarte del catolicismo en el mundo. A lo largo del texto, el lector podrá identificar el proceso de politización del concepto Iglesia militante y los cambios que los católicos ecuatorianos describieron sobre su combate nacional y transnacional contra sus enemigos.
SematosEma e SematosEmia da Libras: ponderações sobre a terminologia
Authors: Alves Cardoso Silvana
Published: August 2022

Sumariamente, as línguas de sinais e as línguas orais diferenciam-se quanto à modalidade na qual cada uma está disposta, entretanto ambas são línguas naturais e partilham dos mesmos universais linguísticos. Assim, é usual o emprego dos termos Fonema e Fonologia nos estudos em línguas de sinais. Todavia, tomando o aspecto visuoespacial, algumas pesquisas apontam para o surgimento de outras nomenclaturas que tentam dar conta desses conceitos nessa modalidade linguística específica, como é o caso do par terminológico SematosEma/SematosEmia idealizado por Capovilla (2015). Nesse sentido, a presente produção tem como objetivo analisar os termos SematosEma e SematosEmia no âmbito da sua criação e da sua adequação às particularidades da Libras. Assim, o que se verifica, entre outros pontos, é que, da forma como foi apresentado e conceituado, o par terminológico, do ponto de vista etimológico, parece estabelecer uma relação mais harmoniosa e direta com os elementos internos que os compõem, no entanto demonstra demandar, por parte dos estudiosos e usuários da Libras, saberes específicos de ordem etimológica para que seja bem compreendido, o que, em certa medida, deixa comprometida a aplicabilidade dessa proposta terminológica.

Academic buoyancy of university students and its relationship to academic average in light of some demographic variables
Authors: Abdellatif Mohamed Sayed
Published: August 2022

Academic buoyancy reflects the student's ability to encounter the ordinary challenges he faces in the academic context, and it positively contributes to the student's behaviors. This study aims to measure the level of academic buoyancy among university students, identify its relationship to their academic average, and determine the differences in their academic buoyancy level in terms of gender and academic discipline variables. The descriptive-analytical research design was utilized. The academic buoyancy scale was applied to (243) university students (male-female). Data were statistically analyzed using correlation coefficient, arithmetic mean, and two-way ANOVA. Results demonstrated that students have a high level of academic buoyancy, there was a significant correlative relationship between academic buoyancy and academic average, and there were no significant differences in the academic buoyancy level due to gender (male-female), academic discipline (theoretical-practical). The research recommended increasing students' academic buoyancy level to help them encounter academic pressures and challenges and to solve the problems they face in their academic lives effectively.

Students’ perceptions on the difficulty of biochemistry concepts covered in Rwandan secondary school biology curriculum
Authors: Munyemana Jean Jacques , Nsanganwimana Florien , Gaparayi Gaspard
Published: August 2022

This study explored the Rwandan secondary students’ opinions on learning biochemistry concepts covered in the Rwandan advanced level of secondary school biology curriculum, and the reasons behind the difficulty of the concepts. In this research, sequential exploratory mixed-method designs were adopted. The sample comprised 195 secondary school students, who were purposively selected from the schools in Rwamagana and Kayonza districts of Rwandan Eastern Province. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires and focus group semi-structured interview guides. Data analysis was carried out using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Results from this research showed that photosynthesis and respiration are the major units that are challenging to study with the respective percentages of 62.5 and 75.1. On the other hand, the concept of enzymes is the most difficult according to students’ views. The lack of adequate laboratory and learning resources and teachers’ teaching styles were reportedly the reasons behind the difficulty of these units. Therefore, the provision of continuous professional development training on advances in teaching and learning biochemistry to in-service teachers would be one of the strategies to enhance students’ understanding of these concepts.
