Stratification of Happiness in Urban Areas in Mexico: A Qualitative Examination by Level of Marginalization
Authors: Martínez-Martínez Oscar A. , Reyes Javier , Noda Eder
Published: November 2021

Although Mexico presents high levels of poverty and marginalization, it is the second happiest nation in Latin America. This raises several questions about what factors are associated with happiness at each level of marginalization and how these factors vary according to marginalization levels. We conducted a qualitative study in urban municipalities in four Mexican states, using 184 semi-structured interviews and employing a thematic analysis approach. Results suggest that happiness is a multifactorial phenomenon. Factors such as the family, health, religion, friendships, economic conditions, and fulfillment of basic needs contribute to happiness, but each of these aspects has different importance and meaning based on the level of marginalization. Evidence also shows that unhappiness is more homogeneous, regardless of the level of marginalization; thus, we can find people in both low marginalized and high-marginalized contexts that are unhappy. The research findings are relevant for the design of public policies, because they show various unsatisfied needs by level of marginalization and how not having them may affect happiness in each social stratum.

SCHOOL CLIMATE AND TEACHER JOB PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM SHAMA DISTRICT OF GHANA
Authors: Bentil Joseph
Published: November 2021

Although school climate is known to exert a potent sway on teachers’ overall effectiveness, little is known about it influence on teacher job performance in educational institutions in Ghana albeit no evidence from Shama District. In view of this lacuna in literature, this study employed Halpin and Croft’s (1963) dimensions of organizational climate as a theoretical lens to understand the influence of school climate on teacher job performance. The study utilized sequential explanatory mixed method design within the context of pragmatist paradigm. Census, proportionate stratified random and convenience sampling techniques was used to sample 585 respondents. Structured questionnaire and semi-structure interview were used to collect data which were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics whereas thematic approach was employed in analyzing the qualitative data. The study revealed that open climate was dominant, followed by the autonomous, controlled, familiar, paternal and closed climates, and that generally job performance of teachers was rated as very good. Besides, the study indicated that school climate was a good predictor of teacher job performance. However, the study revealed that in order of magnitude, it was familiar climate that contributed most to teachers’ job performance, followed by open and controlled climates while the contribution of autonomous, paternal and closed climates were not significant. It was, therefore, recommended that headteachers and teachers should be conscious of the kind of interpersonal relationships that exist among them and be guided to strengthen the climate in their schools, especially the familiar, open and controlled climate traits since they contribute significantly to teacher job performance so as to realize educational goals and objectives.

Authors: Samifanni Faramarz , Gumanit Rose Leslie R.
Published: November 2021

Intercultural Communication Competence is essential in creating healthy relations and prevent conflict across numerous cultures. It also emphasizes the essence of accurate and proper information transmission among people. This study aimed to analyze existing literature and derive the perfect formula for learners to develop their Intercultural Communication Competence. A theory on Intercultural Communication Competence was generated using the deductive axiomatic approach. After the analysis and synthesis of related literature and studies, twelve axioms were formulated. From there, four propositions were identified: (1) Intercultural Communication Competence entails cultural actualization; (2) Intercultural Communication Competence calls for a comprehensive curriculum and assessment; (3) Digitalization boosts Intercultural Communication Competence; (4) Upskilled instructors are confident in refining learners’ Intercultural Communication Competence. With these propositions, the Interdependent Theory of Intercultural Communication Competence was generated. This theory highlights the importance of the interdependence among cultural actualization, comprehensive curriculum, digitalization, and upskilled instructors in realizing the full potential of Intercultural Communication Competence of learners.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION UK
Authors: Sokić Katarina , Khawaja Sarwar
Published: November 2021

Our study examined some aspects of entrepreneurship in private higher education in the UK. The growing value of the private higher education sector in the UK represents an opportunity for entrepreneurial investment. For this purpose, we analysed the available data from the 2015/16 to 2017/18 academic years as well as data published online in HESA’s Statistical Bulletin Higher Education Student Statistics: Alternative Providers. The data show that the total number of students grew in the observed period and the largest increase was recorded in postgraduate students. Among the students enrolled with private providers, 38% were 30 years and over in 2017/18. However, the number of younger undergraduate students is growing year on year. One of the most significant features of the private sector is low enrolment rates for students with government- supported tuition fee loans. The majority of privately-funded higher education providers operate as for-profit organisations, and one of the key factors in developing and strengthening this sector is to attract foreign capital investment and new domestic and foreign students, whilst maintaining a high quality and diverse range of study programs.

Überprüfung des Altersindikators für die jüngere Bevölkerung bei der Finanzbedarfsermittlung im nordrhein-westfälischen Finanzausgleich
Authors: Döring Thomas , Brenner Thomas
Published: November 2021

Verschiedene Testregressionen zum nordrhein-westfälischen Gemeindefinanzierungsgesetz (GFG) für die Jahre 2021 und 2022 deuten auf eine mangelnde Signifikanz einzelner Präferenz- und Bedarfsindikatoren im Rahmen des zur Anwendung kommenden robusten Regressionsverfahrens als Grundlage für die Verteilung der Schlüsselzuweisungen im Rahmen des Gemeindefinanzausgleichs hin. Namentlich handelt es sich hierbei um den Präferenzindikator der „Zahl der Einwohner unter 15 Jahre“ sowie den Bedarfsindikator der „Zahl der Halbtagsschüler“. Da der zuletzt genannte Indikator ein fester Bestandteil des Schüleransatzes als dem einzigen Nebenansatz innerhalb des Kreisfinanzausgleichs ist, steht dessen weitere Verwendung als Bedarfsindikator auf Gemeindeebene – trotz des aktuell fehlenden Signifikanznachweises – außer Frage. In Anbetracht dessen lag das Augenmerk der vorliegenden Untersuchung auf einer sowohl finanzwissenschaftlichen als auch statistisch-methodischen Überprüfung des Altersindikators für die jüngere Bevölkerung. Da es an einer ökonomisch eindeutigen Begründung für die Wahl des Präferenzindikators der „Zahl der Einwohner unter 15 Jahre“ mangelt, wird empfohlen, die entsprechende Kontrollvariable in ihrer Ausprägung nicht länger fest vorzugeben. Stattdessen sollte sie flexibel nach Maßgabe dessen bestimmt werden, welche Altersschwelle sich in der Gruppe der Jugendlichen als empirisch signifikant in ihrer Erklärung der Streuung der kommunalen Ausgaben erweist
Morphosyntactic influence of spanish on english as a foreign language in high school students
Authors: Padilla Willian Patricio García , Cárdenas Yola Indaura Chica
Published: November 2021

When learning a foreign language, the mother tongue (L1) influences the learning process either to enhance or to hinder it. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the most common errors high school students make due to the Spanish morphosyntactic interference when developing the English writing skill, to determine the factors that caused those errors and to propose some suggestions to overcome them. The participants of the study were 32 students of an Ecuadorian public high school. A quantitative and qualitative study was carried out; data collection instruments included a pre and a post-test as well as a questionnaire for students and teachers. Four morphosyntactic errors were identified: word order, negation, pluralization, and subject omission.  After the intervention, it was determined that to overcome these errors, school teachers should focus on practicing more writing activities with their students in class and on motivating learners to do English tasks at home.

Authors: Naomi Sharin Shajahan , Zaidi Syed Muhammad Saad , Saud Dr. Adam
Published: November 2021

Indian Ocean (IO) has occupied an overlapping space of political concern and maritime security due to increasing geo-strategic importance in the region. A competition has been noticed amongst key littoral states in the IO, particularly among United States, India and China. In this competing game, United States is found to be proactively supporting India to expand its influence on IO. On the other hand, China is developing trade and military relationship with other countries including Pakistan to demonstrate leverage on the IO region. This paper sheds light into this great polarized game and its implications for Pakistan. The study uses secondary data and adopts a critical approach largely based upon ‘realist’ paradigm to analyse and understand the role of the aforementioned key actors in the political developments of the region The study reveals that both India and China, are competing ferociously and forming alliances (India with USA and China with Pakistan) to establish regional hegemony. This competition, in turn, has greatly politically polarized the region and threatened peace and stability. In this context, Pakistan needs to carefully develop its strategy which will serve its aspiration to have a positive peaceful image in the global politics and serve strategic national interest.

La investigación tuvo como objetivo principal el analizar la evaluación de la reducción estructural en el diseño de un edificio con aisladores sísmicos en el distrito de Tacna, para esta investigación se analizó la Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo de la Universidad Privada de Tacna, para lo cual se realizó en base a las Normas Técnicas Peruanas,  apoyándonos en el Catálogo Dynamic Isolation para el diseño de Aisladores, seguidamente se realizó (03) Tres Modelamientos en el Software Etabs V19, Modelamiento estructural sin Aisladores Sísmicos, Modelamiento estructural con Aisladores Sísmicos y Modelamiento con Aisladores Sísmicos-Reducción Estructural. Se utilizó el Método Descriptivo, describiendo y analizando sistemáticamente la información existente con respecto a los resultados obtenidos por medio de la modificación de las condiciones actuales de la situación. Como resultado final se obtuvo una reducción estructural de 20,47m2 de las columnas cumpliendo con los desplazamientos máximos que demanda la Norma E.031 “Aislamiento Sísmico”. Finalmente, se concluye que si bien es cierto la reducción de los elementos estructurales no son significativos, la normativa E.031 indica que se debe considerar derivas máximas de 0,0035 en ambas direcciones, esta aclaración encarece la estructura ya que al colocar los aisladores sísmicos por cada columna se hace excesiva, cabe mencionar que se tendría que analizar técnica y económicamente la infraestructura a la cual deseamos colocar los aisladores sísmicos para tomar una adecuada decisión sobre el particular, ya que con los resultados existe una reducción mínima en la geometría de los elementos estructurales.

Published: November 2021

Em decorrência da crise na lavoura cacaueira, a partir do final da década de 80, intensas modificações ocorreram no uso e ocupação do solo da bacia do rio Una, sem um adequado planejamento territorial. Diante desse contexto e, em função da quase inexistência de dados sobre essa bacia, este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar uma avaliação das fragilidades natural e ambiental da mesma, no intuito de subsidiar o planejamento e a gestão da área. Para tanto, foram caracterizados os sistemas físico-ambientais da bacia, inicialmente com base na abordagem analítica e, posteriormente, seguindo a abordagem sistêmica, para se chegar à compreensão do todo, em virtude da complexidade das inter-relações que se estabelecem entre esses sistemas numa escala espaço-temporal. A área de estudo est· localizada no Sul do Estado da Bahia, abrangendo uma área de 1.760,30 km². Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados foram desenvolvidos com o apoio de técnicas de geoprocessamento. Como resultado, verificou-se que a declividade é um Índice controlador nos processos erosivos da bacia, por possuir 81,21% da área com relevos acentuados. Porém, se tratando de regiões próximas ao litoral, as classes pedológicas e litológicas foram mais decisivas, em função da predominância de sedimentos inconsolidados

Background and aims – Agricultural intensification and loss of farmland heterogeneity have contributed to population declines of wild bees and other pollinators, which may have caused subsequent declines in insect-pollinated wild plants. Material and methods – Using data from 37 studies on 22 pollinator-dependent wild plant species across Europe, we investigated whether flower visitation and seed set of insect-pollinated plants decline with an increasing proportion of arable land within 1 km. Key results – Seed set increased with increasing flower visitation by bees, most of which were wild bees, but not with increasing flower visitation by other insects. Increasing proportion of arable land had a strongly variable effect on seed set and flower visitation by bees across studies. Conclusion – Factors such as landscape configuration, local habitat quality, and temporally changing resource availability (e.g. due to mass-flowering crops or honey bee hives) could have modified the effect of arable land on pollination. While our results highlight that the persistence of wild bees is crucial to maintain plant diversity, we also show that pollen limitation due to declining bee populations in homogenized agricultural landscapes is not a universal driver causing parallel losses of bees and insect-pollinated plants.
Vidas desgastadas por el neoliberalismo. El caso de las obreras de las maquilas en Nicaragua

Published: November 2021

In this article the author seeks to give an account of the situation of rights and working conditions in which the workers of the textile maquilas of the free zone regime work in the framework of almost thirty years of their reinstatement in Nicaragua. The document reviews how this type of work system installed in the height of neoliberalism causes serious consequences in the body, emotions and vital projects of the workers. The perverse articulation between intense labor exploitation. The absence of official oversight and discrimination constitute a systematic state of defenselessness that is reinforced by the chain of inequalities to which these workers belonging to the most disadvantaged and disadvantaged sectors of Nicaraguan society are subjected.

Published: November 2021

A inclusão do autista depende de vários fatores como escola, família, sociedade, mas também do conhecimento sobre autismo. Assim esta pesquisa objetiva investigar se existem possibilidades de inclusão de um aluno autista na sala de aula de escola Pública. Portanto, este é o foco do presente estudo: a inclusão de alunos com autismo na classe regular. Com estes dados, buscamos analisar as circunstâncias que esses alunos estabelecem com seus professores e colegas nas classes da rede regular de ensino. Assim, pretende-se avaliar como se processa a inclusão destes alunos na sala de aula comum, em que a maioria dos alunos, não apresenta tais necessidades. É visto que essa situação traz impactos em relação às possibilidades de interação, comunicação e construção de conhecimento desses alunos. O estudo está orientado para a repercussão dessas condições que implicam a não existência de um território comum, com consequências para a explicitação de ideias e o diálogo autêntico, principalmente porque escola e os professores estão despreparados para atender a estes alunos. A escola no transcorrer da sua história, se caracterizou pela visão onde a escolarização é privilégio de um grupo, nesse meio tempo foi criado uma exclusão que foi legitimada nas políticas e práticas educacionais da ordem social. A partir do processo de democratização da educação identificou-se está inclusão/exclusão, quando os sistemas de ensino estende o acesso, mas ainda continuam excluindo indivíduos e grupos considerados fora dos padrões normais da escola, como os alunos autistas.

Abstract. Capturing the vertical profiles and horizontal variations of atmospheric
aerosols often requires accurate airborne measurements. With the advantage
of avoiding health and safety concerns related to the use of butanol or
other chemicals, water-based condensation particle counters have emerged to
provide measurements under various environments. However, airborne
deployments are relatively rare due to the lack of instrument
characterization under reduced pressure at flight altitudes. This study
investigates the performance of a commercial “versatile” water-based condensation particle counter (vWCPC,
model 3789, TSI, Shoreview, MN, USA) under various ambient pressure
conditions (500–920 hPa) with a wide range of particle total number
concentrations (1500–70 000 cm−3). The effect of
conditioner temperature on vWCPC 3789 performance at low pressure is
examined through numerical simulation and laboratory experiments. We show
that the default instrument temperature setting of 30 ∘C for the
conditioner is not suitable for airborne measurement and that the optimal
conditioner temperature for low-pressure operation is 27∘. Under
the optimal conditioner temperature (27∘), the 7 nm cut-off size
is also maintained. Additionally, we show that insufficient droplet growth
becomes more significant under the low-pressure operation. The counting
efficiency of the vWCPC 3789 can vary up to 20 % for particles of
different chemical compositions (e.g., ammonium sulfate and sucrose
particles). However, such variation is independent of pressure.
Developing a web-based toolkit for new mothers about postpartum pelvic floor health in collaboration with a professional medical association

Published: November 2021

Background: Few electronic resources are available for new mothers with concerns about changes in their pelvic floorfollowing childbirth. Patients may struggle when seeking authoritative information regarding pelvic floor conditions online given the sensitivity of the topic as well as the inadvertent connection to obscene or demeaning content found online. A health sciences librarian partnered with the Motherhood and Pelvic Health Study, an interdisciplinary research group, to provide expert searching skills for a particularly challenging health condition that patients struggle to find useful information on.Case Presentation:A custom rubric was developed to evaluate existing information products, which included criteria for cultural sensitivity, conflicts of interest, and other red flags. This evaluation process enabled the research team to identify top-tier evidence-based materials that were culturally congruent. This collaborative evaluation process led to the creation of a web-based toolkit resource for new mothers concerned about changes in their pelvic floor. The toolkit connects women to pertinent information on a national health organization’s patient portal, supplemented by videos created by the team to serve as models of communication for women and health care providers. Conclusion:When developing a web-based resource, health sciences libraries can partner with research teams to find, evaluate, and disseminate information. Culturally congruent toolkits such as this one can improve access to health information and lead to improved health outcomes. To ensure that the information highlighted in toolkits is both culturally congruent and authoritative, research teams should form advisory committees and partner with relevant professional medical associations.
Knowledge sharing practices among African health sciences librarians

Published: November 2021

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate knowledge sharing practices among health sciences librarians in African countries.Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was employed. The study population consisted of African health sciences librarians that attended the 16th Biennial Conference of the Association for Health Information and Libraries in Africa on October 14–18, 2019, at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics.Results: The types of knowledge most commonly shared by respondents were information on conferences, workshops, and seminars as well as information on new trends and technologies in librarianship. The main avenue of knowledge sharing was face-to-face interaction. Unwillingness to share knowledge and a lack of awareness about current trends and issues were the top identified challenges to knowledge sharing.Conclusion: These survey results establish the existence of a low level of knowledge sharing among health science librarians in Africa and suggest that concerted efforts should be made to overcome barriers to knowledge sharing within and across African countries.
Translation and validation of PubMed and Embase search filters for identification of systematic reviews, intervention studies, and observational studies in the field of first aid
Authors: Avau Bert , Van Remoortel Hans , De Buck Emmy
Published: November 2021

Objective: The aim of this project was to validate search filters for systematic reviews, intervention studies, and observational studies translated from Ovid MEDLINE and Embase syntax and used for searches in PubMed and Embase.com during the development of evidence summaries supporting first aid guidelines. We aimed to achieve a balance among recall, specificity, precision, and number needed to read (NNR).Methods: Reference gold standards were constructed per study type derived from existing evidence summaries. Search filter performance was assessed through retrospective searches and measurement of relative recall, specificity, precision, and NNR when using the translated search filters. Where necessary, search filters were optimized. Adapted filters were validated in separate validation gold standards.Results: Search filters for systematic reviews and observational studies reached recall of ≥85% in both PubMed and Embase. Corresponding specificities for systematic review filters were ≥96% in both databases, with a precision of 9.7% (NNR 10) in PubMed and 5.4% (NNR 19) in Embase. For observational study filters, specificity, precision, and NNR were 68%, 2%, and 51 in PubMed and 47%, 0.8%, and 123 in Embase, respectively. These filters were considered sufficiently effective. Search filters for intervention studies reached a recall of 85% and 83% in PubMed and Embase, respectively. Optimization led to recall of ≥95% with specificity, precision, and NNR of 49%, 1.3%, and 79 in PubMed and 56%, 0.74%, and 136 in Embase, respectively.Conclusions: We report validated filters to search for systematic reviews, observational studies, and intervention studies in guideline projects in PubMed and Embase.com.
The publication fate of abstracts presented at the Medical Library Association conferences

Published: November 2021

Objective: We sought to determine how many abstracts presented at the 2012 and 2014 Medical Library Association (MLA) annual conferences were later published as full-text journal articles and which features of the abstract and first author influence the likelihood of future publication. To do so, we replicated a previous study on MLA conference abstracts presented in 2002 and 2003. The secondary objective was to compare the publication rates between the prior and current study.Methods: Presentations and posters delivered at the 2012 and 2014 MLA meetings were coded to identify factors associated with publication. Postconference publication of abstracts as journal articles was determined using a literature search and survey sent to first authors. Chi-squared tests were used to assess differences in the publication rate, and logistic regression was used to assess the influence of abstract factors on publication.Results: The combined publication rate for the 2012 and 2014 meetings was 21.8% (137/628 abstracts), which is a statistically significant decrease compared to the previously reported rate for 2002 and 2003 (27.6%, 122/442 abstracts). The odds that an abstract would later be published as a journal article increased if the abstract was multi-institutional or if it was research, specifically surveys or mixed methods research.Conclusions: The lower publication rate of MLA conference abstracts may be due to an increased number of program or nonresearch abstracts that were accepted or a more competitive peer review process for journals. MLA could increase the publication rate by encouraging and enabling multi-institutional research projects among its members.
