Published: March 2024

Abstract: Background: Using community-engaged research may result in interventions that reduce infant oral health disparities in underserved populations. Objective: Develop community partnerships to create a sustainable infant oral health program that meets specific community-identified needs and provides an interprofessional education experience. Methods: Partnering with the Homewood Community Engagement Center, researchers engaged and surveyed key community partners to assess the need for an infant oral health invention. Lessons Learned: Community-identified organizing principles and barriers became the framework for, "Healthy Teeth, Healthy Me," a community-driven infant oral health program. Barriers, like access to care, were addressed with community-specific solutions like agreements with local dental clinical for referrals. Conclusions: Community partnerships can be leveraged to develop oral health programs that fit specific community needs and provide resources to families at greatest risk for child dental caries. Community engagement can be used to modify the intervention to meet oral health needs of other vulnerable communities.

Published: March 2024

Abstract: Background: Youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) face a wide range of complex barriers to COVID-19 vaccine confidence and access. Objectives: Describe our process for engaging a cross-sector team centering equity and youth voice; outline our intervention strategies to enhance COVID-19 vaccine confidence and access among YEH; and discuss lessons learned through this community-engaged process. Methods: We engaged partners from across sectors, including youth-serving agencies, healthcare organizations, public health organizations, and YEH. We used focus groups, key informant interviews, and other community engagement strategies to develop and implement a series of interventions aimed to increase COVID-19 vaccine confidence and access among YEH. Results: We identified youths' key concerns about vaccine confidence and access. To address these concerns, we implemented four community-driven interventions: youth-friendly messaging, health events, vaccine aftercare kits, and staff training. Conclusions: This community-engaged project highlighted the value of cross-sector partnership and consistent youth engagement in addressing vaccine confidence among YEH.

Abstract: Background: Implementation of evidence-based interventions to reduce depression among uninsured Latinx patients who are at high risk of depression are rare. Objectives: Our goal was to evaluate Strong Minds, a language and culturally tailored, evidence-based intervention adapted from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for mild-moderate depression and anxiety, delivered by community health workers (CHWs) in Spanish to uninsured Latinx immigrants. Methods: As part of the pilot, 35 participants, recruited from a free community primary care clinic, completed Strong Minds. Assessments and poststudy interviews were conducted. Paired t-tests were used to assess change of depressive symptoms at 3 and 6 months. Lessons Learned: CHW delivery of depression care to this population was feasible and among those who completed the program, preliminary evidence of depression outcomes suggests potential benefit. CHWs had specific training and support needs related to mental health care delivery. Conclusions: Further implementation studies of depression care interventions using CHWs for underserved Latinx is needed.
What Is a Hakka?: Tracing the Development of Hakka Ethnic Identity in Jamaica
Authors: Cox Jordan Lynton
Published: March 2024

Abstract: Weaving together literature from postcolonial, cultural, and anthropological studies, this essay traces the historical reethnicization of "Hakka" across nation-states from the nineteenth century to the present as a reflection of the savvy techniques that Afro-Asian communities use to navigate conflicting racial ideologies throughout the African and Asian diasporas and beyond. It argues that "Hakka" serves not only as an ethnic identifier for groups in southern China and Taiwan (primarily) but also as a flexible signifier that is used by Chinese Jamaicans to navigate and resist state-based racial technologies throughout multiple countries and time periods.
BK ZERO isoform HEK293 stably transfected cell lines differing 3’UTRs to assess miR-9 regulation

Published: March 2024

Research has identified the large conductance voltage- and calcium-activated potassium channel (BK) as a key regulator of neuronal excitability genetically associated to behavioral alcohol tolerance. Sensitivity to ethanol at the molecular level is characterized by acute potentiation of channel activity. BK isoforms show variations in alcohol sensitivity and are differentially distributed on the plasma membrane surface in response to prolonged exposure. MicroRNA (MiRNA) targeting of alcohol-sensitive isoforms coupled with active internalization of BK channels in response to ethanol are believed to be key in establishing homeostatic adaptations that produce persistent changes within the plasma membrane of neurons. In fact, microRNA 9 (miR-9) upregulated expression is a key event in persistent alcohol tolerance mediating acute EtOH desensitization of BK channels. The exact nature of these interactions remains a current topic of discussion. To further study the effects of miR-9 on the expression and distribution of BK channel isoforms we designed an experimental model by transfecting human BK channel isoforms ZERO heterologous constructs in human embryonic kidney cells 293 (HEK293) cells respectively expressing 2.1 (miR-9 responsive), 2.2 (unresponsive) and control (no sequence) 3’untranslated region (3’UTR) miRNA recognition sites. We used imaging techniques to characterize the stably transfected monoclonal cell lines, and electrophysiology to validate channel activity. Finally, we used immunocytochemistry to validate isoform responsiveness to miR-9. Our findings suggest the cell lines were successfully transfected to express either the 2.1 or 2.2 version of ZERO. Patch clamp recordings confirm that these channels retain their functionality and immunohistochemistry shows differential responses to miR-9, making these cells viable for use in future alcohol dependence studies.
How teleworking adoption is changing the labor market and workforce dynamics?
Authors: Elsamani Yousif , Kajikawa Yuya
Published: March 2024

This article investigates how teleworking adoption influenced the labor market and workforce dynamic using bibliometric methods to overview 86 years of teleworking research [1936–2022]. By grouping the retrieved articles available on the Web of Science (WOS) core collection database, we revealed a holistic and topical view of teleworking literature using clustering and visualization techniques. Our results reflect the situation where the adoption of teleworking in the last three years was accelerated by the pandemic and facilitated by innovation in remote work technologies. We discussed the factors influencing one’s decision to join the workforce or a specific company, besides the unintended consequences of the rapid adoption of teleworking. The study can aid organizations in developing adequate teleworking arrangements, enhancing employee outcomes, and improving retention rates. Furthermore, it can help policymakers design more effective policies to support employees, improve labor force participation rates, and improve societal well-being.

Published: March 2024

The challenge facing Ethiopian farmers are the combination of low soil fertility and reduced agricultural productivity. The study aimed to quantify nitrogen and phosphorus-containing fertilizers for tef production in Sekota and Lasta-Lalibela districts, using four nitrogen and three phosphorus levels from urea and triple super phosphate sources. The Results showed that nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers significantly affected tef yield and yield components. Application of nitrogen at the rate of 92 kg ha-1 increased tef grain yield by 131.01%, 87.78% and 182.23% in Woleh, Sayda and Lasta Lalibela districts, respectively, compared to control treatment. Similarly, 23 kg ha-1 phosphorus increased tef grain yield by 7.42 and 8.52% in Woleh and Lasta Lalibela, respectively. In Lalibela and Woleh, the application of 92 kg N ha-1 resulted in a maximum net benefits of 2099.6 and 2007 United States Dollar (USD) respectively. Furthermore, in Sayda, the application of 92 kg N ha-1 and 23 kg P2O5 ha-1 yielded a net benefit of 1812.55 USD. The marginal rate of return (MRR) from these applications was 539.6% in Lalibela, 781% in Woleh and 352.44% in Sayda. Therefore, application of 92 N and 23 kg P2O5 ha-1 is appropriate for maximum tef production in Sekota and Lasta districts of Amhara region. Further research and extension services should focus on promoting the adoption of these optimized fertilizer practices among smallholder farmers to maximize the sustainable production of tef.
Prevalence and dynamics of contraceptive use by type during the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence from Western Iran
Authors: Mahmoudiani Serajeddin
Published: March 2024

Contraception represents a deliberate choice made by individuals, both men and women, to regulate their desired number of children. The primary objective of this study was to examine the prevalence and predictors of contraceptive use, while also exploring the shifts in contraception methods following the COVID-19 pandemic. This study employed a quantitative approach with a survey technique. The survey was conducted in Kermanshah, one of Iran’s metropolises located in the western part of the country. The sampling methodology employed in this study involved a combination of multi-stage classification and systematic random methods. The survey took place between July and August 2022. The target population for the survey included women between the ages of 15 and 49. A total of 600 women from this population were selected and included in the survey sample. The sample was described using frequency tables, as well as central and dispersion indices (mean and standard deviation). Additionally, multivariate analysis was conducted through the application of logistic regression. Findings pointed out that approximately 65% of the women in the sample utilized contraception methods. Among these methods, the condom and oral pill were found to be the most prevalent choices. Moreover, the findings indicated that an increase in the number of both living and ideal children was associated with a decreased likelihood of contraceptive use. Following the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an observed increase in the utilization of traditional and natural methods of contraception. This shift highlights the importance of considering a broader range of contraceptive options and not solely focusing on restricting contraception services. In the midst of the coronavirus outbreak, women turned to traditional contraceptives, which may increase the risk of unintended pregnancies and subsequent miscarriages. Therefore, providing in-person services to women at their place of residence is necessary during epidemics.

The whānau, or family, that consists of members of the New Zealand Studies Association (NZSA) and that meets once a year at the Association’s hui, or conference, is a rich gathering of delegates old and new. In the last year NZSA lost three distinguished colleagues from its whānau: Fay Weldon, John Dunmore and Grant McCall. Members of the whānau may depart, but they remain alive through their words, contributions and debates. Two of the four articles in this issue are extensions of papers given at NZSA’s 2023 conference in Stockholm-Turku and this includes a contribution by Witi Ihimaera, who was one of the conference keynote speakers. Questions of indigeneity, identity and Māoritanga are vital to both these articles. They are also important to a third article, which examines taonga pūoro as cultural artefacts that can assist in reconsidering the extent of where the Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa came from. A fourth article on Indonesia’s annexation of West Papua and the role of the United Nations, also adopts a revisionist approach.
On Thunderclouds
Authors: Buhl Nanna Debois
Published: March 2024

Landscapes and atmospheric processes are rapidly changing, and so are the technologies we use to depict and detect them. How to ponder these transformations through artistic thinking and making? In the artwork On Thunderclouds, I examine the thundercloud as aesthetic motif, meteorological phenomenon, and as an ominous sign of climate change. In the making of the work, the tension between prediction and unpredictability on a larger level is mirrored in my working process, a balancing act between setting up systems and allowing elements of chance, even chaos. In the work various predictions, speculations and uncertainties thus vibrate.
New visions, new ecologies: On materialities and atmospheres in contemporary photography
Authors: Sæther Susanne Østby
Published: March 2024

This article proposes to reconceptualize the Hungarian photographer, artist and educator László Moholy-Nagy’s (1895–1946) inter-war call for a ‘new vision’ in order to grasp how artists presently experiment with photography and adjacent new technologies to explore the environmental, ecological and elemental dimension of media themselves. For Moholy-Nagy, photography represented a new way of seeing and experiencing the increasingly industrialized and automated world and a means of expanding our sensory perception. Drawing on recent scholarship of elemental media theory, I adapt Moholy-Nagy’s interest in the materiality of photography and the atmospheric and medial dimensions of light itself to an environmentally attuned notion of ‘new visions’. Exemplified with discussion of recent works by Emilija Škarnulytė, Lesia Vasylchenko and Istvan Virag, I show how a number of contemporary artists likewise scrutinize photography’s (understood in an expanded way) material basis and atmospheric qualities to explore new forms of image-making, including CGI and synthetic aperture radar images, fitted to reflect the accelerated automation and ecological precarity that mark the early twenty-first century.
Aprendizagem baseada em projetos: uma aplicação em um curso superior tecnológico em uma instituição pública
Authors: Oliveira Esmeralda Aparecida de , Runte-Geidel Ariadne
Published: March 2024

No ensino superior tecnológico, a educação profissional tem sido objeto de discussão, focalizando prioritariamente a organização do currículo e, com menor destaque, as metodologias de aprendizagem voltadas às competências profissionais. As metodologias ativas de aprendizagem contam, atualmente, com um papel preponderante na nova gestão do ensino superior tecnológico do Centro Paula Souza. Dessa forma, este artigo objetiva descrever e aplicar um modelo de aprendizagem baseado em projetos para o componente curricular de Planejamento e Estratégia em Recursos Humanos, com duas turmas do 6º semestre do Curso Superior de Tecnologia em Gestão de Recursos Humanos. Para isso, foi desenvolvido um protocolo de aplicação formatado em um manual para que servisse como guia para o professor e para o aluno. Como objetivos específicos, pretende-se apresentar a metodologia de projetos e propor um programa de aprendizagem por projeto que pode se tornar referência em outros componentes curriculares do Centro Paula Souza. Tem-se como metodologia utilizada a qualitativa descritiva e, como resultado, espera-se apresentar um programa para o desenvolvimento da abordagem de projetos que contemple um plano de aula, a estrutura do projeto a ser desenvolvido pelo discente, e um modelo de rubricas para a avaliação do projeto. Além disso, é possível observar a opinião e o desempenho dos alunos com a aplicação da metodologia.
O que aprendemos com o ensino remoto emergencial? Possibilidades e desafios para a docência
Authors: Deimling Natalia Neves Macedo , Reali Aline Maria de Medeiros Rodrigues
Published: March 2024

Tendo em vista a relevância de estudos que realizam mapeamentos para desvendar e examinar o que já foi produzido sobre determinado tema, apontando os enfoques e as lacunas ainda existentes, o objetivo deste artigo consiste na identificação e análise dos principais resultados alcançados e considerações traçadas pelos artigos publicados entre os anos de 2020 e 2021 sobre os impactos do Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE) no desenvolvimento profissional de docentes das instituições de ensino superior brasileiras, com enfoque às possibilidades e aprendizagens adquiridas nesse contexto. Para tanto, foram selecionados 24 artigos disponíveis em quatro repositórios científicos, analisados a partir das perspectivas interpretativa-crítica e problematizadora. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico de abordagem qualitativa do tipo estado do conhecimento. Entre outros aspectos, foi possível observar que as aprendizagens e possibilidades do ERE para a docência estão voltados, especialmente, às adaptações didático-pedagógicas, à utilização de novas metodologias e recursos educacionais – com ênfase nas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação -, a um maior compromisso dos professores com a aprendizagem dos estudantes, ao alcance dos objetivos educacionais a partir de diferentes meios e estratégias, a uma preocupação mais acentuada com a própria formação para lidar com as dificuldades e desafios apresentados e a uma preocupação mais cuidadosa dos professores com sua prática profissional, esta última permeada de incertezas geradas pelo ERE.
Contribuições da Pesquisa Baseada em Design na formação inicial de professores de Matemática
Authors: Schons Elisângela Fouchy , Bisognin Eleni
Published: March 2024

O processo de ensino e aprendizagem é um complexo sistema de interações comportamentais e metodológicas e o professor é o seu principal articulador. A Pesquisa Baseada em Design é uma metodologia que busca colaborar com a compreensão desse processo por meio da implantação de princípios de design e o trabalho conjunto entre pesquisadores e professores através da constituição de um grupo de colaboradores. Nesse sentido, essa pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar as contribuições dessa metodologia na construção de conhecimentos para o ensino de Geometria Espacial por estagiários de um curso de Licenciatura em Matemática. O artefato pedagógico construído por meio dessa metodologia, constitui-se de uma sequência de atividades sobre Poliedros e o seu desenvolvimento seguiu as etapas propostas por Reeves (2000). Apresenta-se aqui a atividade de exploração de prismas e pirâmides, nas suas duas aplicações, a primeira no ensino presencial e a segunda no ensino remoto. As características apresentadas por cada um desses modelos de ensino fizeram com que o grupo de colaboradores planejasse e replanejasse as atividades, os materiais e os recursos utilizados. Nos dois modelos foi possível observar os conhecimentos matemáticos para o ensino mobilizados pelos estagiários. Pode-se inferir que o resultado satisfatório dessa aplicação foi fruto do trabalho em equipe, característica importante da metodologia de Pesquisa Baseada em Design.
Processos formativos de professores na constituição do Movimento em Rede da Feira de Matemática
Authors: Gonçalves Araceli , Grando Regina Célia
Published: March 2024

Este texto é parte de um estudo em andamento e objetiva investigar as concepções de formação de professores presentes no período de gestação do Movimento em Rede da Feira de Matemática, no estado de Santa Catarina. Busca, também, compreender o campo fértil de reflexões em Educação Matemática e Formação de Professores na década de 1980 no Brasil e, de maneira mais aprofundada, neste estado. Assim, esse estudo se caracteriza como uma pesquisa com viés histórico e narrativo, e evidencia a vanguarda em algumas proposições e ideias acerca das concepções de formação de professores. Numa síntese da leitura dessa primeira parte da história, destaca-se como perspectiva predominante, em termos de formação de professores, uma postura mais próxima do modelo prescrito pela pesquisa de desenvolvimento, com foco na elaboração, implementação, reflexão e socialização de materiais didáticos voltados ao ensino de Matemática no primeiro grau. Desde o início, os formadores se preocuparam em garantir que os professores participassem de todas as etapas do processo. Tais participações foram, aos poucos, se ampliando e a Feira Catarinense de Matemática contribuiu significativamente na última etapa deste modelo relativa à difusão e à adoção de ideias inovadoras. No tocante às tendências para o ensino da Matemática, a preponderante foi a construtivista. Os diversos movimentos formativos realizados na época contribuíram para que os professores adquirissem confiança e conhecimento necessários para um caminhar em direção a uma mudança de paradigma.
Gritos de (in)dependência na formação de professores que ensinam matemática
Authors: Matos Diego , Giraldo Victor , Quintaneiro Wellerson
Published: March 2024

Numa afirmação da especificidade de conteúdo da profissão docente, Shulman subverte o aforismo “Quem sabe faz, quem não sabe ensina” na proposição de “Quem sabe faz, quem compreende ensina”. Em um cenário idealizado que cruza esta manifestação com o grito de “Independência ou Morte?” atribuído a D. Pedro I, situamos a discussão travada por Shulman numa disputa política, não necessariamente geográfica, mas no território do conhecimento, tendo em voga atores como: “quem faz”, “quem sabe” e “quem ensina”. Buscando, neste artigo, um deslocamento dessa discussão, propomos uma reflexão decolonial considerando quem foi situado no lugar de negação – de não saber – nesse debate. Nosso objetivo, neste texto, é deslocar debates sobre formação de professores que ensinam matemática a um terreno político, por meio: (a) de reflexões sobre colonialidade que interpelem a literatura de formação de professores; e (b) da identificação de discursos de resistência em experiências de estudantes com matemática(s), mobilizadas, no decorrer de seus percursos formativos, em contextos institucionais de educação (escola básica e universidade). Sobre o primeiro ponto, entendemos que – e assim buscamos desenvolver no texto – um diálogo teórico-político com pensadores de grupos subalternizados, que foram situados à margem das fronteiras acadêmicas, tem enorme potencial para a construção de caminhos outros, quando do tensionamento na literatura de formação de professores. Já na análise do discurso dos estudantes, trazemos uma oportunidade de desaprendizagem, considerando uma ressonância dos gritos contracoloniais sobre apagamentos de gênero, de corpos e de seres em diferentes práticas matemáticas na academia e na escola.
Promovendo o raciocínio matemático: tarefas de exploração na prática como componente curricular
Authors: Marcatto Flávia Sueli Fabiani
Published: March 2024

Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma investigação sobre o raciocínio matemático por meio da implementação de Tarefas de Exploração e Desenvolvimento da Aprendizagem e do Ensino na formação de professores de matemática. O estudo faz parte de um projeto maior, guiado pela implementação de estudos em Educação Matemática com o objetivo de projetar uma intervenção em uma disciplina do curso de matemática que articule a prática de ensino de matemática e as horas de prática como componente curricular. Apoia-se em estudo de caso e em experimentos de design com foco nos processos de aprendizagem a partir de tarefas de exploração com o objetivo de identificar e documentar processos de raciocínio e mudanças no ambiente de aprendizagem e fomentar novas crenças sobre a natureza do ensino de matemática. A experiência envolveu futuros professores de matemática que estão cursando horas de Prática como Componente Curricular (PCC). Destaca-se o papel que as representações matemáticas desempenham na compreensão, organização e planejamento de sequências instrucionais. Os resultados evidenciam a importância das tarefas exploratórias, que favorecem ambientes colaborativos no processo de formação, direcionam a atenção a aspectos do conteúdo e propõem uma inovação na dinâmica da sala de aula, dando protagonismo aos alunos, e podem, ainda, desenvolver o raciocínio indutivo baseado na identificação de padrões, construindo os seus próprios esquemas visuais ou numéricos que desempenham uma dupla função de compreensão e de registro. O raciocínio dedutivo baseado em definições e propriedades matemáticas, utilizando representação algébrica para formularem conjecturas, também foi utilizado pelos licenciandos.
FormAção-continuada em Modelagem Matemática na modalidade remota: a rede e o fenômeno da hibridização
Authors: Santana Flavia Cristina de Macêdo
Published: March 2024

Este artigo objetiva descrever e mapear as associações que envolvem uma heterogeneidade de elementos humanos e não humanos em um contexto de um programa de formAção-continuada em Modelagem Matemática na modalidade remota. Para tanto, seguiu-se os caminhos propostos pela Teoria Ator-Rede (TAR) com o intuito de apresentar um olhar voltado para as práticas mapeadas em um curso de extensão ofertado durante o Período Letivo Extraordinário (PLE) da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (Uefs) na modalidade remota, em função da pandemia da Covid-19, em 2020. A proposta estava vinculada a três núcleos da Sociedade Brasileira de Educação Matemática (Sbem), com sede em três universidades públicas no interior da Bahia. Toma-se a rede como uma "ferramenta metodológica", não apenas para descrever o que aconteceu, mas para analisar os elementos que criam um mundo e suas associações. Tem-se como referência os princípios do agnosticismo, da simetria generalizada e da associação livre para descrever as práticas. Os resultados indicam que associações estabelecidas entre os formadores-participantes e o WhatsApp, entre os formadores-participantes, o Google Meet e o Google Forms, bem como entre participantes do curso e o Google Classroom deram origem a novas associações que se denominam associações colaborativas internas, externas, alternativas e matemáticas. Essas associações colocaram em relevo o engajamento, a interatividade e a produtividade, cartografados no curso de formação.

Unlocking the Potential of the Financial Intermediary System in Development Policy: A Focus on Regional Development
Authors: Farkas Sára
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to shed light on the possibilities of higher-level development policy involvement of the financial intermediary institutional system, with particular regard to regional development. The investigation was primarily based on the analysis of the Hungarian financial intermediary system of refundable subsidies from the European Union that operated from 2007 through 2013. The reason for this is that, in terms of the diversity of the institutional system, both concerning the preceding and the 2014-2020 development cycle, this period had the highest diversity of institutions mediating subsidies, which plays a crucial role in the development of solutions that are more precisely suited to the financing needs of the final beneficiaries. After reviewing the available literature and development policy documents, I applied a research method based on a Delphi analysis. The investigation revealed a new finding: the market experience of the institutions' experts was the key factor in the successful placement of intermediary institutions' resources. This aspect had not been previously highlighted in evaluations or literature findings. In addition, the research pointed out, among other things, that for more optimal use of financial instruments for cohesion purposes, an integrated policy mix should be created at a higher level, including primarily the social and financial sectors, as well as the territorial development policy. All this would enable the introduction of combined support products at the implementation level, linking financial instruments with other non-financial types of support. For example, loan or guarantee products could be supplemented with consultancy, education, or mentoring support (especially concerning management, organization development, and strategic planning).
Exposing Challenges in the Age of „Slowbalization” – A Review of the Book the Unequal Effects of Globalization by Pinelopi Goldberg & Greg Larson
Authors: Juan Cristobal Demian Inzulza
Published: March 2024

Two major economic milestones of the last 20 years could be studied in the future, as the moments in which globalisation's unblemished path towards absolute global interconnection was cut short. The first one was the 2007-2008 global crisis, which marked the end of the generalised economic optimism that prevailed, mainly in the West, after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The second is the China-US trade war, which began in 2018 and was the most iconic demonstration of the emergence of political forces eager for a return to greater protectionism and greater strategic decision-making power of the states over deregulation, which seemed like an unquestioned economic dogma.
FILIAL SELF-EFFICACY BASED ON QUALITY OF RELATIONSHIP WITH PARENTS AND GENDER
Authors: Qonitatin Novi , Abidin Zaenal , Nurhayati Niken Fatimah
Published: March 2024

The belief of adolescents to fulfill their role as a child in the family known as filial self-efficacy that assumed to provide a feeling of being able to organize events in carrying out their life as part of the family. The purpose of this study was to empirically examine the relationship between the quality of the adolescent’s relationship with parents and filial self-efficacy, and differences in filial self-efficacy based on gender. Research participants were 93 students of the Faculty of Psychology Universitas Diponegoro, who were in the late adolescence age range (18-22 years), consisting of 28 boys (30%) and 65 girls (70%). The data were obtained using the Filial SelfEfficacy Scale based on Bandura’s perspective and the Adolescent-Parent Relationships Scale based on the Grotevant and Cooper perspective. The analysis technique used is product moment analysis and t-test. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between the quality of the relationship between adolescents and their parents and filial self-efficacy as indicated by a correlation coefficient of .783 (p > .01). This means that the more positive the quality of the relationships that exist between adolescents and their parents, the higher the filial self-efficacy. Conversely, the more negative the quality of the relationship between adolescents and their parents, the lower the filial self-efficacy. According to the research, there was no significant difference in filial self-efficacy between boys and girls, with a t-count of -0.029 and a significance value of .977 (p > .05).
Financial Inclusion, Per Capita Income and Human Development: Evidence from African Countries
Authors: Mani Paul , Nyamute Winnie , Ondigo Herick
Published: March 2024

There is a growing consensus that financial inclusion is essential for economic growth and human development. Studies have shown that financial inclusion can lead to increased investment, productivity, and employment. It can also help to reduce poverty and inequality. A country’s prevailing macro-economic factors such as per capita is also thought to accelerate or slow down the effect of financial inclusion on human development.  This study assessed the effect of per capita income on the relationship between financial inclusion and human development among African countries. To achieve the research objectives, the study employed a panel longitudinal research design that involved collecting secondary data for the period between 2011 and 2020 on an annual basis for each of the 54 African countries. Findings indicate that financial inclusion, measured by bank branches, ATMs, deposit accounts, and loan accounts, has a positive and significant effect on human development in African countries. Furthermore, per capita income was found to moderate the relationship between financial inclusion and human development. The study concludes that fostering financial inclusion and enhancing per capita income is crucial for promoting human development in African countries. The study emphasizes the need for policymakers to prioritize inclusive finance and implement targeted interventions to address the specific challenges and opportunities within each context.

This research aims to clarify the role of technological management strategy by identifying the quality of scientific research in the faculties of physical education and sports sciences in Libyan universities. In addition, this study aims to study the role of human resources management in the transition to bringing about the modern technological change in management strategy. Concentrating the process of bringing and attracting modern technology has become an inevitable necessity on the one hand, and a planned and non-random matter on the other hand. In this research, we relied on the descriptive method using the survey method. The study sample was composed of professors from some faculties of physical education and sports sciences of the Libyan University. The total sample number was ninety-one (91) individuals. Several statistical tools were used in this study using SPSS, version 2020, This research resulted in that the strategy of modern technological management has a role in achieving change in universities colleges during their management of various educational programs, especially when it concerns a radical change in the methods of administrative work. Therefore, adopting the digital style by introducing modern technology in the management of local administration is inevitable and imposed by the rapid developments in various means of communication and modern technologies.

The study aimed to equate two test forms using the linear equating method and estimate the amount of equating errors associated with the method. The linear equating method was used to adjust for the difficulties of the test Form A and Form B on students’ Mathematics test scores. A 20-item mathematics instrument was used for data collection. The bootstrap method was used in the determination of the amount of equating errors that come with this equating method. Data on participants’ test scores on these two congeneric parallel test forms were used for this study. All the requirements for equating the two test forms were met with a reliability coefficient of .71. The scores of a new Form B of the test were then equated to its referenced Form A using a linear equating method. Findings from the study revealed that the linear equating method produced scores that were beyond the required possible observed scores, especially at the lower end of the scores. Again, the amount of error associated with the linear equating method seems to decrease consistently from the low ability scores to the high ability scores.
Representing the Ukrainian Migration Experience: From a Cultural Monologue Towards Interculturality
Authors: Kupidura Ryszard
Published: March 2024

The text is devoted to literary, theatrical and film representations of the Ukrainian migration experience in Poland. The author notes that current artistic strategies, contrary to the intentions of Polish writers/artists, often reinforce stereotyping patterns of reception of the Other and unconsciously postulate an essentialist project of portraying a “real Ukrainian woman/man.” On the other hand, Ukrainian voices are increasingly heard in Polish space, which provides an opportunity not only to work through painful traumas from the past, but, due to the constant presence of Ukrainian co-residents, also to develop competences in recognizing mutual cultural codes, which in turn creates an opportunity to avoid generating new traumas in the future. The author devotes separate attention to the multidimensional Ukrainian-Ukrainian dialogue taking place in recent years in the territory of Poland, in other words, to the relations between the Ukrainian minority and Ukrainian migrants.

Changing Narratives of Jan and Maria Malisz’s Case (1933): Social, Legal and Cultural Perspectives
Authors: Jaworska-Biskup Katarzyna , Peno Michał
Published: March 2024

In 1933, Cracow was the scene of a brutal murder of three people: Helena and Michał Süskind and Walenty Przebinda, a postman. The bloody slaughter of the victims had taken place on Pańska street, in the city centre of Cracow. It was soon revealed that the crime had been perpetrated by the impoverished couple Jan and Maria Malisz. The speedy public trial of the culprits ended with two death sentences. Jan was hanged after rendering the verdict. His wife Maria escaped death by being pardoned by the president of Poland, Ignacy Mościcki (1867–1946). The case triggered the attention of many commentators. It was widely described in the press. It was also the topic of many books and papers, especially documentaries dealing with the theme of famous crimes in Poland in the 1930s. Despite the great interest in the case, no critical research has been devoted thereto, which is the rationale behind this scholarly contribution. The paper discusses how the case of Jan and Maria was framed in various narratives. The analysis combines social, legal and popular culture perspectives and entails such sources as court documents, the press coverage, post-war legal documentaries, and Internet forums, as well as the 1972 film Na Wylot directed by Grzegorz Królikiewicz (1939–2017). It is of particular interest to show how the case was presented in the source material. The paper also investigates the effect of such a presentation on the changing perception of the case in question. The case prompts discussion on issues such as female versus male crime, partnership in crime, victim-oriented versus perpetrator-oriented approaches, and the intersection between legal and popular culture narratives. As far as the methodology is concerned, it employs Kaarlo Tuori’s theory of three levels of the law.
Moving planes and sliding methods for fractional elliptic and parabolic equations
Authors: Chen Wenxiong , Hu Yeyao , Ma Lingwei
Published: March 2024

In this paper, we summarize some of the recent developments in the area of fractional elliptic and parabolic equations with focus on how to apply the sliding method and the method of moving planes to obtain qualitative properties of solutions. We will compare the two methods and point out the pros and cons of each. We will demonstrate how to modify the ideas and techniques in studying fractional elliptic equations and then to employ them to investigate fractional parabolic problems. Besides deriving monotonicity of solutions, some other applications of the sliding method will be illustrated. These results have more or less appeared in a series of previous literatures, in which the ideas were usually submerged in detailed calculations. What we are trying to do here is to single out these ideas and illuminate the inner connections among them by using figures and intuitive languages, so that the readers can see the whole picture and quickly grasp the essence of these useful methods and will be able to apply them to solve a variety of other fractional elliptic and parabolic problems.
Experimental evaluation on compression-after-impact behavior of perforated sandwich panel comprised of foam core and glass fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid facesheets

Published: March 2024

To study the impact response and compression-after-impact (CAI) behavior of perforated sandwich panels comprised of foam core and glass fiber-reinforced epoxy hybrid facesheets, the hole diameter of specimens is changed in the fabrication via vacuum-assisted resin infusion. Furthermore, low-velocity-impact tests with various impact distances between the impact point and hole are carried out. With the help of the digital image correlation technique, CAI testing is conducted, and the strain evolution of specimens is monitored carefully. The mechanical response history, damage morphology, and compressive process are discussed in detail. The results show that the impact and CAI performance of specimens are weakened because of open holes. Compared with the non-perforated specimen, the maximum force of the specimen with a 6-mm hole and the 5-mm impact distance decreases by 41.21%, and its maximum displacement increases by 38.60%. During the CAI process, in comparison with the impact damage, more significant stress concentration and buckling around the hole are found.
On the unified representation of continuity and discontinuity and its neurocognitive grounding
Authors: Nirupama Ratna , Mondal Prakash
Published: March 2024

Discontinuity in natural language is characterized by the linear disruption of a continuous string of linguistic expressions forming a constituent. While dependency relations in Dependency Grammar (DG) can capture discontinuity well, phrase-structure-based approaches such as Phrase Structure Grammar (PSG) face difficulty in accommodating discontinuity. Categorial Grammar (CG) has correspondences with PSG, although it can handle discontinuity, if equipped with wrapping operations. Given the existing literature on discontinuity in natural language, it appears that constituency relations of PSG, dependency relations of DG and functor-argument relations of CG are distinct and independent. Here, we argue for a unified representation achieved by taking into account fundamental representational principles of PSG, DG and CG. For simplicity, we show this by considering an embedded clause from Wan, spoken in Ivory Coast, as an illustrative case. The paper then attempts to explain, based on available empirical pieces of evidence, the plausible connections between the unified representation and the neurocognitive representation of continuity and discontinuity in natural language.
