EDUCATION REFORM AND TEACHER AGENCY
Authors: Cheng Ching-Ching , Huang Kuo-Hung
Published: December 2020

The rapid change of technology, society, and economy creates pressure for education reform on a national level. In respond to the demand for quality improvement, educational organizations are engaging in educational innovation including curriculum, teacher competency, and effective teaching. Nevertheless, this top-down approach for change is likely to fail and lead to an unintended consequence if teachers are antithetical to the reform policy. As institutional agents, teachers make instructional choices to shape implementation of reform and thus influence the educational change in institutionalized practices (Bridwell-Mitchell, 2015). Briggs, Russel, and Wanless (2018) point out that teacher buy-in is a critical factor in educational change. As “an alignment between teacher beliefs and the goals of a change or reform, as well as feelings of competence in implementation” (p. 126), teacher buy-in for reform plays a crucial role in times of change. Teachers’ receptivity to reform is closely related to how they perceive the policy-level change. In addition to meeting the external demands, teachers characterized as real change agents are willing to change from the internal drive to reflect and learn (van der Heijden, Geldens, Beijaard, & Popeijus, 2015).
APPRAISING THE IMAGE OF FORMAL EDUCATION BY INFORMAL EDUCATORS
Authors: Zamir Sara
Published: December 2020

Discussion about the need for professionalization has accompanied the development of informal education from its very early stages. Some people believe informal education is staffed by temporary players whose main value derived in part from the fact that their work embodies the principles of altruism, hence they need no professional training. In contrast, others believe that work in this field is complex, hence appropriate training settings should be set up for those working in informal education as well. The aim of this research was to evaluate the perception of formal education by informal education educators. The research methodology is qualitative; it employs a structured interview of the participants and a semiotic analysis of pictures that participants were asked to provide that they felt represented the formal education system. The main findings of the semiotic analysis clearly show that the pictures chosen raise connotations of rigidity, emptiness, loneliness, sadness, insufficiency and boredom. Those images are strongly connected to the debate of recruiting resourceful and capable teachers to formal education systems in the era of accountability. Keywords: formal education, informal education, informal code, semiotics.
e- Health - Guidelines for State Policy Formation in the Healthcare Sector of Bulgaria
Authors: Tserovska Vyara , Denchev Stoyan
Published: December 2020

The active reform of the Bulgarian society requires new approaches and full use of information processes for management in the healthcare system. Despite the transformations that have taken place in this area, many issues are yet to be resolved. E-Health is a collection of applications based on advanced information and communication technologies within an organisational and legal framework covering the whole aspect of healthcare, from diagnosis to the time of completion and payment for the treatment. The inconsistencies identified between the high requirements of modern health care, the need to implement the eHealth and the significant falling behind of the project implementation process can only be addressed by implementing a national strategy regulating the objectives, scope and stages of the creation of a single intergrated health information system.

Published: December 2020

Background: Public health surveillance is crucial for supporting a rapid and effective response to public health emergencies. In response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, an enhanced surveillance system of hospitalised COVID-19 patients was established by the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Victorian Healthcare Associated Infection Surveillance System Coordinating Centre. The system aimed to reduce workforce capacity constraints and increase situational awareness on the status of hospitalised patients.
Methods: The system was evaluated, using guidelines from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, against eight attributes: acceptability; data quality; flexibility; representativeness; simplicity; stability; timeliness; and usefulness. Evidence was generated from stakeholder consultation, participant observation, document review, systems review, issues log review and audits. Data were collected and analysed over a period of up to three months, covering pre- and post-implementation from March to June 2020.
Results: This system was rapidly established by leveraging established relationships and infrastructure. Stakeholders agreed that the system was important but was limited by a reliance on daily manual labour (including weekends), which impeded scalability. The ability of the system to perform well in each attribute was expected to shift with the severity of the pandemic; however, at the time of this evaluation, when there were an average 23 new cases per day (0.3 cases per 100,000 population per day), the system performed well.
Conclusion: This enhanced surveillance system was useful and achieved its key DHHS objectives during the COVID-19 public health emergency in Victoria. Recommendations for improvement were made to the current and future systems, including the need to plan alternatives to improve the system’s scalability and to maintain stakeholder acceptability.

Authors: Yazalia Jenny Maya , Johan Henny , Wardana Rendy W.
Published: December 2020

The threat of disasters that often occur in coastal areas is seawater abrasion. One of the provinces in Indonesia which is located in the coastal region is Bengkulu with the area most prone to abrasion disaster is the North Bengkulu Regency. This study aims to describe the potential for abrasion in the North Bengkulu region based on the parameters of abrasion vulnerability. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method with literature studies. An abrasion potential analysis has been carried out based on the measurement of three parameters of abrasion susceptibility namely coastal morphology, soil structure and wave height. The results showed that the coastal morphology in the area of North Bengkulu Regency was strongly influenced by tectonic processes that occur due to subduction zone pressure. Coastal morphology in the form of steep cliffs, piles (stack), while on steep cliffs also formed beach caves. The soil structure on a coastal cliff shows that the dominant cliff is composed of sandstones, gravel, clay and alluvium. The difference in vertical rock resistance results in the beach being prone to abrasion. The wave height (swash) in the North Bengkulu regency is an average of 60 cm, although at certain locations the swash height reaches 85 cm. Thus, it can be concluded that the area of North Bengkulu regency is very potential for abrasion and efforts are needed to reduce it, one of the ways through disaster mitigation education.

Aviation Maxillofacial Shields and Blunt Impact Protection in U.S. Army Helicopter Mishaps
Authors: Weisenbach Charles A. , McGhee James S.
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: Maxillofacial shields (MFSs) are an available piece of aviation protective equipment designed to integrate into aircrew helmets and protect the face from wind and flying debris. Aviators have anecdotally reported that MFSs have provided blunt impact protection during
impact events (i.e., a crash); however, no such cases have been formally documented in the literature.CASE REPORTS: Two cases were identified where aircrew wearing MFSs were involved in mishaps resulting in maxillofacial blunt impacts. In the first case, an OH-58 pilot struck the
cyclic with his head/face during a crash. In the second case, a CH-47 crew chief was struck in the face by a maintenance panel dislodged from the aircraft. In both cases the MFS was damaged, but neither service member experienced injuries as a result of impact to the face.DISCUSSION:
The cases illustrate the effectiveness of the MFS against blunt impact during aviation mishaps. While MFS use is currently optional for aircrew, it is believed that increased MFS use would result in fewer or less severe facial injuries as well as decrease the associated time and monetary losses
due to injury.Weisenbach CA, McGhee JS. Aviation maxillofacial shields and blunt impact protection in U.S. Army helicopter mishaps. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2021; 92(1):5053.

Published: December 2020

INTRODUCTION: Fatigue is an important phenomenon in modern aviation. Despite the progress in research concerning fatigue among civil aviation and military pilots, fatigue in student pilots has remained unexamined. The aim of this study was to examine fatigue among ab-initio pilots.
In this study, the fatigue model previously proposed and used in the literature is redesigned for ab-initio pilots.METHOD: A 48-item questionnaire was applied. Factor analysis was performed using SPSS. The data were collected from 114 ab-initio pilots.RESULTS: It was
determined that 23% (N 26) of the participants included in the study were women and 77% (N 88) were men. When the license types of the participants were analyzed, it was seen that 11% (N 13) had commercial pilot licenses (CPL; N 80), 70% had private pilot licenses
(PPL), and 18% (N 21) had student pilot licenses (SPL). Results showed that seven performance factors (types of flight, training scheduling, crew composition, environment of the aircraft, types of accommodation, flight training-related issues, and biological issues) affect ab-initio
pilots fatigue on various levels.DISCUSSION: The findings may help flight training organizations and ab-initio pilots take assertive preventive measures against fatigue.Kilic B. Fatigue among student pilots. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2021; 92(1):2024.

Published: December 2020

INTRODUCTION: In-flight medical events (IMEs), although rare, are challenging due to the limited onboard resources and the time needed to reach an airport. Cabin crewmembers (CCMs) are trained to provide first aid, but their effectiveness has not been appropriately studied.METHODS:
IMEs occurring in the biggest airline of Greece were prospectively recorded during a 5-yr period (20142018) and categorized according to a symptom-based taxonomy.RESULTS: During the study period 990 IMEs were recorded corresponding to 16 IMEs for each million passengers or 1.8 IMEs
for every thousand flights. The most frequent events were loss of consciousness (38.4%) followed by injuries (8.6%), gastrointestinal problems (8.3%), respiratory symptoms (7.3%), anxiety (5.7%), and burns (5.9%). Diversion was decided in 3% of the cases while death on board was rare (0.3%
of events). CCMs responded in 33.5% of IMEs without assistance by a volunteer health professional, achieving a 97% success rate.DISCUSSION: IMEs are rare events and the majority can be treated with simple first aid measures. CCMs acting according to a simplified algorithm were very
efficient in providing first aid. A standardized symptom-based IME form will assist in creating a reliable registry for further studies.Paxinos O, Savourdos P, Alexelis V, Anastasopoulos A, Karantoni E, Grigoropoulos P, Konstantinou X. In-flight medical events and cabin crew first

The article highlights the controversial issues of the state, contradictions and trends of modern globalization in the face of new challenges and threats associated with political, immigration, pandemic, climate, economic and trade shocks – Britain’s exit from the EU, the implementation of the US President’s policy “America Above All”, the beginning of trade de-globalization as a result of the revision of free trade agreements (FTAs) and the trade “war” between the United States and China, the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic and climate change on deepening the global economic recession, the collapse of national economies and international trade, lack of financial resources for active government support of the health care systems, social protection, small and medium-sized businesses. Political, economic, managerial and academic circles are actively discussing the problems of the “end” of globalization, de-globalization, “new” globalization, the need for a “new world order”, which will actually embody the fundamental values ??of democracy, economic freedom, free trade and, at the same time, will strengthen social responsibility of the world community and its international institutions, the main geopolitical, geo-economic and military centers of power (primarily the United States, China, the European Union, Russia, etc.) for the preservation of peace on the basis of consensus, recognition of global priorities in countering climatic and epidemic threats to human life on Earth , consistent implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals to eradicate poverty in all its forms and manifestations, combat inequality within and between countries, ensure continuous, inclusive and sustainable economic growth and promote social inclusion. The article drew attention to the strengthening of the trends of protectionism and economic nationalism, in particular, the US withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement and attempts to revise the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The article shows the loss of the US leadership in world trade due to the accelerated economic development of other countries, primarily the Asian region. The discussion of these problems at the Davos Economic Forum led to the conclusion about the likely end of Atlanticism and globalization. At the same time, the UN report (2018) highlighted a special section on trade hyperglobalization. The article hypothesizes that the Bali Round (2013) of negotiations on trade began the fourth wave of its globalization, and proposes a new theory of international trade – the theory of globalization impact.
Synchronized Conceptual Representations in Generative Learning
Authors: Dolgikh Serge
Published: December 2020

In this work we examined latent representations of image data with a collective of generative neural network models. A convolutional autoencoder with steep redundancy reduction was used to create low-dimensional latent representations of a dataset of geometrical shapes. Individual models trained in entirely unsupervised process with minimization of generative error were then exposed to a process of synchronization of symbolic concepts associated with characteristic density structures in the latent representations. It was demonstrated that conceptual representations with good decoupling of concepts can be produced with generative models of limited depth; and that a simple process can lead to synchronization of symbolic concepts between learning individuals and a possibility of communication with sharing semantic information about the observed environment. The results demonstrate the potential of latent conceptual frameworks emergent in unsupervised generative learning as a natural platform for abstract conceptualization and communication.

Direktorat Jenderal Bea dan Cukai adalah organisasi pemerintah yang bertugas mengawasi dan melayani keluar masuknya barang di Indonesia. Salah satu saluran memasukkan barang ke Indonesia adalah melalui barang bawaan penumpang maskapai penerbangan dan awak sarana pengangkut udara. Garda terdepan dalam membentuk citra Indonesia khususnya DJBC. Namun komplain mengenai barang bawaan penumpang tiap tahunnya cenderung tetap bahkan mengalami kenaikan di tahun 2019. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan analisis startegi komunikasi kehumasan dalam menyosialisasikan barang bawaan penumpang dan awak sarana pengangkut. Penlitian ini menggunakan paradigma konstruktivistik dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Metode pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini adalah wawancara. Hasil penelitian ini adalah terdapat beberapa tahapan dalam manajemen humas yang tidak dilaksanakan oleh DJBC, baik oleh Kantor Pusat DJBC dan KPU BC Soekarno Hatta. Penelitian ini dapat memberikan masukan kepada DJBC agar setiap kegiatan humas dilaksanakan dengan mengikuti tahapan-tahapan dalam manajemen humas sehingga masyarakat dapat memahami secara seksama peraturan mengenai barang bawaan penumpang dan awak sarana pengangkut.

Penulis berargumen, perubahan dan tantangan tidak hanya menyentuh organisasi media massa, kerja jurnalis atau wartawan, berita, khalayak, melankan juga nilai-nilai dan etika. Dengan melakukan kajian literatur dari penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya terkait perkembangan jurnalisme di Indonesia, penulis menyimpulkan media sosial tidak hanya berfungsi untuk medium promosi, melainkan medium menyampaikan berita pada era digital. Jurnalisme juga mengembangkan multimedia yang merujuk pada teknik presentasi atau penyajian berita yang memfokuskan pada tulisan dan gambar visual, baik bergerak maupun diam.
Long-Term Demographic and Spatio-Temporal Trends of Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) Bycatch in Bather Protection Nets off KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Authors: Plön Stephanie , Erbe Christine , Wintner Sabine
Published: December 2020

Bather protection nets have been in place off the coast of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa, since the 1950’s. Besides sharks, they also catch a number of other marine vertebrates, including dolphins, the majority of which are Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphinsTursiops aduncus. Previous analyses of dolphin bycatch in the nets indicated the potential impacts on the local populations, but a lack of information on population structure has to-date hindered a more detailed assessment. A recent re-assessment of the status and population delineations ofT. aduncusoff South Africa prompted a re-examination of demographic, spatial, and temporal patterns of its catches in bather protection nets over a 36-year period (January 1980 to December 2015). In total, 1169 dolphins were caught, including a slightly greater number of females and juveniles than other sex-classes, raising concern about the potential long-term effects on population demographics. More dolphins were caught off the North than the South coast. Temporal trends indicate that the bycatch during June and July every year (peak Sardine Run period) as a percentage of overall dolphin bycatch has been steadily decreasing from 39.8% in 1980 to 13% in 2015. A large inter-annual fluctuation can be seen, probably as a result of the inter-annual intensity of the Sardine Run. Although our results do not indicate a long-term decline of the individual populations as previously predicted, revised abundance estimates and data on the demographics and movement patterns of the animals are urgently required to accurately assess the impact of bycatch on the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin populations off KZN and to advise conservation and management decisions going forward.

This work aims to experimentally study the drying of agricultural products using microwaves, with particular reference to grains. Microwave drying experiments were carried out with paddy rice grains in natura (BRSMG Conai variety) for three levels of incident microwave power per mass of fresh grain (6.27, 14.63 and 22.99 W/g). Results of grain drying and heating kinetics are presented and analyzed. It was verified that the ideal average moisture content for grain storage and marketing, 15% (d.b.), occurred at 20 min (6.27 W/g), 13 min (14.63 W/g) and 7 min (22.99 W/g), and that the equilibrium moisture content of the samples reached 4.4%, 2.7% and 1.9%, at 310, 180 and 110 min, for each of the three power levels studied, respectively. The drying with the highest absorbed power caused discoloration of the grains at the end of the drying process.
Soil Respiration under 90 Year-Old Rye Monoculture and Crop Rotation in the Climate Conditions of Central Poland
Authors: Sosulski Tomasz , Szymańska Magdalena , Szara Ewa , Sulewski Piotr
Published: December 2020

This study, aimed at assessing the rate of soil respiration under different crop rotation and fertilization conditions, was carried out on long-term (since 1923) experimental plots with rye monoculture and 5-crop rotation in Skierniewice (Central Poland). The treatments included mineral-organic (CaNPK+M) and organic (Ca+M) fertilization (where M is farmyard manure). Soil respiration was measured in situ by means of infrared spectroscopy using a portable FTIR spectrometer Alpha. CO2 fluxes from CaNPK+M-treated soils under cereals cultivated in monoculture and crop rotations were not statically different. Respiration of soil under lupine cultivated in crop rotation was higher than under cereals. N-fertilization and its succeeding effect increased soil respiration, and significantly altered its distribution over the growing season. Our results indicate that in the climatic conditions of Central Europe, respiration of sandy soils is more dependent on the crop species and fertilization than on the crop rotation system. Omission of mineral fertilization significantly decreases soil respiration. The CO2 fluxes were positively correlated with soil temperature, air temperature, and soil content of NO3− and NH4+.
