Published: September 2023

Introduction:  Boardwalk Cisterns is a government program that aims to attend a population with precarious access to water in Brazil. Developed as part of the Zero Hunger strategy, it intends to increase food security and contribute to the realization of the human right to food. The objective of this study was to assess farmers’ perceptions of the Boardwalk Cisterns program and its impact on the food security situation of beneficiary households.

Methods:  Data were collected through a descriptive cross-sectional quali-quantitative survey. Questionnaires were applied to farming families selected from two municipalities in the state of Alagoas (Northeast Brazil), containing questions on sociodemographic characteristics, production methods, and food security status. The Free Evocation Technique for social representation, analyzed through the software Ensemble of Programs Permettant L'analyze des Évocations, was used to ascertain farmers’ perceptions of the program.

Results:  The study showed a positive perception of the interviewees in relation to the boardwalk cisterns. The program brought some improvement in the agricultural production conditions and, consequently, in the food security situation of the households. Corn, beans and cassava were the most common crops, with almost half of this production (48.3%) destined for consumption by the families themselves. Farmers also reported having more water, allowing them to plant more fruit trees, as well as medicinal and ornamental plants. Nevertheless, 79.1% of the households interviewed were still in a situation of food insecurity, of which 28.1% were classified as mild food insecurity, 26% as moderate food insecurity, and 25% as severe food insecurity.

Conclusion:  Farmers were correct in their perception that the Boardwalk Cisterns program improved their food security situation. The program resulted in greater access to water, and greater production and consumption of food. However, by itself, the Boardwalk Cisterns program was not enough to raise beneficiary families above their food-insecure status. The program alleviated the problem of food insecurity, but other complementary government interventions are needed to guarantee the food security of families living in extreme poverty.
Skipping class: improving human-driven data exploration and querying through instances
Authors: Saghafi Arash , Wand Yair , Parsons Jeffrey
Published: September 2023

With the growing focus on business analytics and data-driven decision-making, there is a greater need for humans to interact effectively with data. We propose that presenting data to human users in terms of instances and attributes provides a more flexible and usable structure for querying, exploring, and analysing data. Compared to a traditional representation, an instance-based representation does not impose any predefined classification schema over the data when it is presented to users. This paper examines the potential utility of instance-based data through two laboratory experiments – the first focusing on exploration of data for pattern discovery (open-ended tasks) and the second on retrieval of information (closed-ended tasks). In both cases, participants were able to achieve better results in tasks using instance-based data than using class-based representations. Given the growing need for self-service analytics, as well as using information for purposes not anticipated when it was collected, we show that instance-based representations can be an effective way to satisfy the emerging needs of information users.
Sharing Vocabularies: Towards Horizontal Alignment of Values-Driven Business Functions
Authors: Painter Mollie , Pouryousefi Sareh , Hibbert Sally , Russon Jo-Anna
Published: September 2023

This paper highlights the emergence of different ‘vocabularies’ that describe various values-driven business functions within large organizations and argues for improved horizontal alignment between them. We investigate two established functions that have long-standing organizational histories: Ethics and Compliance (E&C) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). By drawing upon research on organizational alignment, we explain both the need for and the potential benefit of greater alignment between these values-driven functions. We then examine the structural and socio-cultural dimensions of organizational systems through which E&C and CSR horizontal alignment can be coordinated to improve synergies, address tensions, and generate insight to inform future research and practice in the field of Business and Society. The paper concludes with research questions that can inform future scholarly research and a practical model to guide organizations’ efforts towards inter-functional, horizontal alignment of values-driven organizational practice.
Sustainability Centres and Fit: How Centres Work to Integrate Sustainability Within Business Schools
Authors: Pouryousefi Sareh
Published: September 2023

For nearly as long as the topic of sustainable business has been taught and researched in business schools, proponents have warned about barriers to genuine integration in business school practices. This article examines how academic sustainability centres try to overcome barriers to integration by achieving technical, cultural and political fit with their environment (Ansari et al. in Acad Manag Rev 35(1):67–92; Ansari et al., Academy of Management Review 35(1):67–92, 2010). Based on survey and interview data, we theorise that technical, cultural and political fit are intricately related, and that these interrelations involve legitimacy, resources and collaboration effects. Our findings about sustainability centres offer novel insights on integrating sustainable business education given the interrelated nature of different types of fit and misfit. We further contribute to the literature on fit by highlighting that incompatibility between strategies to achieve different types of fit may act as a source of dynamism.
Re‐Imagining Inclusion Through the Lens of Disabled Childhoods
Authors: Balter Alice-Simone , Feltham Laura E. , Parekh Gillian , Douglas Patty , Underwood Kathryn , Rhijn Tricia van
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this article is to contribute new insights to critical disability and disabled children’s childhood studies that center on the valuing of disabled children’s lives—a guiding purpose in the disability justice movement. We use published findings from the Inclusive Early Childhood Service System project, a longitudinal, institutional ethnography of the ways that families and children are organized around categories of disability, which show social inclusions and exclusions before and during the pandemic. These findings illuminate: (a) institutional flexibility for the purpose of social inclusion and isola‐ tion during the pandemic as a result of institutional organization; (b) the impact of institutional decisions around closures, remote programs, and support on families’ choices and self‐determination; and (3) the ways safety is differently applied and rationalized for disabled children allowing institutions to exclude disabled children and families. We use critical dis‐ ability studies and disabled children’s childhood studies to interpret these findings and position the valuing of disabled children’s lives with a call for disability justice actions.
Involving and Engaging Parents of Children with IEPs
Authors: Underwood Kathryn
Published: September 2023

This study explored parents’ views of the educational experience of children with Individual Education Plans. The research goal was to determine how parents are meaningfully involved and engaged in the development and monitoring of educa-tion programs for their children. The primary data source for the study was 31 interviews with parents, analysed using qualitative thematic analysis; additional data came from parent questionnaires, which provided further information about parents’ experiences. This mixed methods study describes the nature of parent in-volvement and engagement in schools, particularly in Individual Education Plan development and implementation. The study also examined how parent involve-ment and engagement (a) relate to parents’ satisfaction with school programs and (b) are contextualized within inclusive practice for children with disabilities. The findings of the study are discussed in relation to the broader literature on parent involvement and engagement.
The Developmental Systems Approach to Early Intervention in Canada
Authors: Underwood Kathryn , Frankel Elaine B.
Published: September 2023

This article examines current policies and early intervention services for children with disabilities and their families in Canada within the principles of the Developmental Systems Approach (M. J. Guralnick, 2005, 2011). The article considers the sociopolitical context of Canada, especially with respect to diversity and equity. Applying the components of the Developmental Systems Approach as a framework, the authors compare aspects of services for children with disabilities by region across Canada that illustrate systemic strengths and weaknesses. The authors note policy trends that may affect the future delivery and efficacy of early intervention services, specifically those that build on existing strengths and support the continued dialogue between provinces, territories, and the federal government to develop a national agenda for early intervention.

Authors: Valeo Angela , Underwood Kathryn
Published: September 2023

This paper examines Special Education Tribunals, in Ontario, Canada through a Luhmannian theoretical lens. At total of 58 Special Education Tribunal summary hearings were analyzed using the constant comparative method through NVivo software. The results revealed that these Tribunals appear to favour the assessment testimony of teachers and other school personnel over that of other professionals such as educational psychologists, medical doctors, and university professors. This finding is discussed in relation to the available interpretations of Luhmann's social systems theory along with the limitations of using educational tribunals to remedy social justice issues.
Inclusion is an experience, not a placement
Authors: Frankel Elaine B. , Chan Cherry , Underwood Kathryn
Published: September 2023

Early education, care, and intervention programs are part of a complex system of services as experienced by children and their families. Based on a study of institutional processes and relationships from the standpoint of families with children who are thought of as disabled in the Inclusive Early Childhood Service System (IECSS) project, this article highlights common components of inclusion as an experience rather than merely a placement in a class. Early childhood educators and childcare programs are encouraged to play a critical role as part of this system providing accessible, equitable and integrated services to children.
Partnerships in Full-Day Kindergarten Classrooms: Early Childhood Educators and Kindergarten Teachers Working Together
Authors: Underwood Kathryn , Santo Aurelia Di , Valeo Angela , Langford Rachel
Published: September 2023

This study examines the relationship between teachers and early childhood educators in full-day kindergarten classrooms in one school board in Ontario. The study uses the theoretical framework of co-teaching models developed in special education to analyze the range of approaches used by the educator teams. Findings indicate that the teams primarily engage in a one teach/one assist approach, but they also describe some examples of other co-teaching approaches that are possible in these classrooms. The study concludes that support for the expansion of the co-teaching repertoire could provide a mechanism for integrating the expertise of both educators in full-day kindergarten classes and maximizing the efficacy of this social policy direction. Implications for educators and administrators are addressed.
Is the right to early intervention being honoured? A study of family experiences with early childhood services
Authors: Underwood Kathryn , Frankel Elaine B. , Spalding Karen , Brophy Kathleen
Published: September 2023

This article presents an empirical study of family interactions with childhood disability and early years services in Ontario, Canada, with a focus on whether the right to early intervention is being honoured. International mandates, national legislation, and local policies have increased global awareness of the rights of children to be provided with environments for optimal healthy development and education, including the right to early intervention. The right to early intervention is articulated by the United Nations in several international declarations and conventions. Article 20 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC, 1989) was the first convention to use the term disability. It specifically addresses the particular rights of disabled children, with articulation of the right to “enjoy a full and decent life, in conditions which ensure dignity, promote self-reliance, and facilitate the child’s active participation in the community” (A.20, s.1, 1990). Further, the CRC clearly states that children have the right to special care and assistance for both the child and the service providers working with the child. Services are to be delivered free of charge in order to ensure that the child has access to education, training, health care, rehabilitation, preparation for employment, and recreation services. In all cases these services must consider the fullest social integration and individual development that is consistent with cultural and spiritual beliefs (A.20, s.2-4).     
A vállalatok környezeti felelőssége a compliance irányába tett lépések tükrében
Authors: Csák Csilla
Published: September 2023

A környezeti felelősségről több dimenzióban beszélhetünk. Látható, hogy a jogi felelősség csak az egyik terüleze a felelősség kérdésének. A jogi felelősség az általános kódexekben és a környezetvédelmi jog sui generis rendelkezéseiben foglalt szabályokkal együtt a közigazgatási, polgári jogi és büntetőjogi felelősség összetett rendszerét is jelenti. Minden vállalat másképp reagál a környezeti felelősségre, ezért feltehetjük a kérdést: beszélhetünk-e vállalati felelősségről vagy felelőtlenségről?

The internet has transformed the world into a global village, benefiting our society as a whole and empowering people in a variety of ways. Many mobile applications are becoming a part of people's daily lives and assisting them in their jobs or daily routines, thanks in part to the phenomenal growth of Internet usage over the last 21 years. Previous research has found a scarcity of high-quality apps that cover all bases. This project's primary goals are to combine fragmented market systems into a product capable of performing functions such as tracking an employee's on-field movement using GPS; assisting employees in navigating to their next destination; maintaining and improving productivity levels using indicators such as battery status; current and past location; and so on. We highlight previous work and how we learned to extract a model that harmonises current systems while also improving quality of life in this study. We investigated numerous approaches, methods, and procedures before applying them to the development of the system.
Optimisation on the Hybridisation Ratio of Pulverised Fuel Ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (PFA - GGBS) for the Fabrication of Geopolymer Mortar
Authors: Samsudin Muhammad Hasnolhadi , Kwan Wai Hoe , Mohamad Jamil Putri Anis Syahira , Abdul Aziz Nurhanim
Published: September 2023

The current cement industry has several environmental and social problems, including high greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, water consumption, and the generation of large quantities of waste. This matter has grown into a significant concern, and there is now a pressing requirement to substitute the conventional binding material in concrete, namely Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). This paper presents the report on the hybridisation of two industrial by-products, namely pulverised fuel ash (PFA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), to produce an alternative binder known as geopolymer. A set of 11 hybrid PFA-GGBS geopolymeric mortar mixes was created using the complete range of hybridisation ratios, along with different water-to-binder ratios. The freshly mixed hybrid PFA-GGBS geopolymeric mortar was put through a flow table test to examine the required water-to-binder ratio to achieve the targeted level of workability. Afterward, all the samples were allowed to cure at room temperature before undergoing a destructive test to measure their compressive strength. According to the study's findings, the highest compressive strength of 4.6 MPa was achieved with a PFA-GGBS hybridisation ratio of 60-40 in the geopolymeric mortar. However, when the content of GGBS exceeded 40 %, the compressive strength of the hybrid PFA-GGBS geopolymeric mortar produced tended to decrease. Additionally, as the replacement level of GGBS increased, the required water-to-binder ratio also increased to maintain the targeted level of workability, ranging between 0.31-0.41. The PFA-GGBS hybridisation ratios of 60/40, 50/50, 40/60, and 30/70 have shown promising properties to be further refined regarding their application in cementless concrete. Moreover, the study conducted to replace cement as a binder in concrete has the potential to make the construction industry more sustainable and reduce carbon emissions by utilising industrial waste ash that would need to be affordable, strong, durable, and widely available in order to be practical.
Struktur Formula Petualangan dan Nilai Pendidikan Karakter dalam Dongeng Pohon Impian Karya Watiek Ideo
Authors: Ulhaq Salma Dhiya
Published: September 2023

One of the reasons why John G. Cawelti's formula appears is because many popular literary stories have the same formula. This study aims to describe and analyze the structure of Cawelti's adventure formula that builds the fairy tale of the Dream Tree story and classifies the character education values contained in the fairy tale of the Dream Tree by Watiek Ideo. The research analysis used descriptive qualitative, read carefully and recorded the reading data from the fairy tale The Dream Tree by Watiek Ideo as the object of research. The data that has been found is then analyzed and classified based on each group. The results of this study can be seen that the fairy tale The Dream Tree fulfills the three elements of Cawelti's adventure formula. It is known that the fairy tale formula is similar to The Lord Of The Rings. The adventure plot formula is: (1) The events behind the hero's journey; (2) the journey undertaken by the hero through the many obstacles faced in completing the mission; (3) the hero encounters a hero on the way; (4) hero successfully completes the journey, and faces the antagonist; (5) hero has a new problem; (6) the hero's victory for his efforts in completing the mission. Meanwhile, the values of character education contained in the fairy tales of the Dream Tree, include strong determination, loving and respecting parents, fighting fear, and cooperation.
Collaborative Application of Resilience Education (CARE): Fostering Resilience to Combat Depression and Anxiety in Graduate Students
Authors: Lee Jocelyn , Moore Alexander , Prabhune Radhika , Marcon Edyta , Foty Richard
Published: September 2023

Background: Graduate students experience depression and anxiety at rates six times higher than the general population. A literature review of resilience education and an environmental scan of existing preventative resources found that current university-provided mental health interventions are primarily reactive, short-term, and crisis-oriented. There remains a need for preventative resources that prepare students to effectively face adversity and maintain wellbeing during graduate school.  

Purpose: In collaboration with experts in mental health, psychology, pedagogy, resource development, and graduate students themselves, our team aims to develop and implement a proactive, skill-based resource that teaches strategies to foster resilience in graduate school while emphasizing the importance of self-care, self-awareness, and help-seeking.  

Methods: Our new co-created resource is to be assessed in three phases: (1) Qualitative Needs Analysis, (2) Intervention Ideation, and (3) Resource Validation. All participants for this study will be graduate students in the first two years of their degree and recruited from the University of Toronto Temerty Faculty of Medicine (TFM). Phase One will be conducted through qualitative focus groups to explore student needs and experiences with mental health resources. Focus group data will be transcribed and analyzed using NVIVO to establish criteria for our resource prototype. In Phase Two, all data, in addition to input from a student advisory committee composed of TFM graduate students, will be compiled to design our prototype. In Phase Three, focus groups will assess the prototype and provide their feedback on the content and functionality of the resource, and where it might be improved.

Anticipated Results and Potential Implications: Overall, we anticipate that this resource prototype will leave a positive impression on the Phase Two participants, helping them build their resilience-based skills and strategies for facing adverse events. Overall, given the correlation between increased resilience and improved mental health, we expect that this resource will reduce levels of depression and anxiety for students by preparing them for the stress they experience in graduate school. If successful, this resource may be adapted to address the needs of graduate students in different departments, universities, and institutions worldwide.
Characterization of the term "wandering" in dementia research: A scoping review
Authors: Phillip Serrina , Daum Christine , Miguel-Cruz Antonio , Liu Lili
Published: September 2023

Background: Dementia is an important public health concern, affecting approximately 50 million people world- wide. The term "wandering" is generally associated with negative behaviours among persons with dementia; however, physical movements of wandering can benefit persons with dementia. Despite its common usage, the term wandering does not have a standardized definition. The aim of this study was to examine definitions of the term wandering in academic literature as it pertains to persons living with dementia and how they compare to one another.
Methods: This scoping review of the academic literature used Arksey and O’Malley’s (2007) framework. Papers were identified through a search of seven electronic databases. Papers were included from any year and study design provided they were in English, French, or Spanish and used terms related to “dementia”, wandering”, or “terminology.” Four members of the team participated in screening, reviewing titles, abstracts, and full-text articles. Data was extracted and recorded in an Excel spreadsheet, and a fifth researcher reviewed the extracted data to confirm validity of the extraction.
Results: The search identified 106 academic papers, predominantly originating from Great Britain (50%) and the United States of America (45.28%) The term “wandering” began to appear in publications in 1990 and has been increasing since then with different definitions, some even contradictory. The definitions fell into seven domains: aimless walking, normal routine/walking for pleasure, elopement, critical wandering, disorientation in spatial navigation, combination, and other.
Conclusion: This scoping review identified that the term “wandering” remains unclear. Definitions across studies are contradictory, vague, and have both negative and positive connotations. With a demographic shift towards older populations and an increasing prevalence of dementia, it is critical to understand the importance of consistent terminology to potentially avoid further confusion, misinterpretation, and stigmatization.
RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR AND THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE (preliminary observations). II
Authors:   O. О. Potebnia Institute of Linguistics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Taranenko Oleksandr
Published: September 2023

The article highlights the main changes in the Ukrainian language as a result of the current Russia-Ukraine war (since 2014, especially after February 24, 2022). The changes have already covered both the corpus (structure) of the Ukrainian language and various aspects of its realization and its social status. Within the language corpus, it becomes the most noticeable, of course, in the field of nomination. In this field, firstly, naturally has been foregrounded the military vocabulary; secondly, it focused on the language images, on the one hand, of Ukraine (accentuating the «statist» connotations of the word family parts), and on the other hand, of Russia as an aggressor state (with a greater frequency and number of names associated with it, and the negative expressive connotations they have acquired); thirdly, there have been drastic changes towards de-communization (de-sovietization) and de-russification (both in cultural-historical and normative terms) of various thematic classes of the country’s proper names. In general, there has been an increase in tendencies towards the further de-russification of the Ukrainian literary language. In the stylistic palette, increases the use of, on the one hand, elevated (as to «one’s own» and «one’s people»), and on the other, degraded (relative to the aggressor state) vocabulary and phraseology. In the pragmatics of this period’s discourses on the topics of the historical «fate» of Ukraine, you may already posit the final transition from the image of the Ukrainians as a victim people to the cultivation of its heroism. The media practices lowercase spelling of proper names associated with current Russia (as a manifestation of extreme disrespect for the designated objects). The letters V and Z have quite unexpectedly become the linguistic signs of modern Russian imperialism. In regard to the functioning in modern Ukraine of the two main languages of communication, the position of the Ukrainian language strengthens.
Cyanine lipids promote the shedding of extracellular vesicles from cell membranes

Published: September 2023

Extracellular vesicles (EV) have garnered significant attention in the fields of drug delivery, imaging, and immunotherapy. There is a need in methods to enhance release of EVs from cells. We found that at high labeling concentrations (100µM), indocarbocyanine lipids DiD and DiR that are commonly used for labeling cells, nanoparticles and EVs, promoted shedding of cell membrane tetraspanins with concomitant release of EVs in the medium. To further investigate this phenomenon, we screened a library of lipids and liposomal formulations for the release of membrane marker CD63 from THP-1 cells, and membrane red nanolantern (RNL) from 4T1 cells. We found a strong dependency of the EV release on lipid structure. In general, lipids that had a cyanine headgroup were more efficient than PEGylated phospholipids, neutral and cationic liposomes, with some lipids enhancing the release of CD63 up to 4-fold, and of RNL up to 8-fold, over vehicle treated control. A side-by-side comparison of cyanine lipid derivatives and corresponding precursor lipids confirmed that the cyanine headgroup significantly promoted shedding of RNL. Mutation of an exosome biogenesis regulator UNC13D did not hinder the release. Lipid-released EV could be modified with anti-interleukin 13 receptor alpha 2 antibody and targeted to glioma cells, suggesting potential utility in drug delivery. Furthermore, the impact of extraneously added lipids on cell membrane integrity should be carefully considered in cell labeling and drug delivery applications.

Realitas menunjukan bahwa praktik gratifikasi melemahkan kualitas pelayanan publik yang selaras dengan prinsip tata kelola pemerintahan yang baik. Melalui Unit Pengendalian Gratifikasi yang telah dibentuk, diharapkan bisa meminimalisir praktik gratifikasi di lingkungan pemerintahan kota ternate. Pasca ditetapkan sejak tahun 2017, penulis tertarik untuk meneliti upaya dan kendala yang dihadapi oleh UPG Kota Ternate dalam mengoptimalkan pelaporan gratifikasi. Metode penelitian yang dipakai yakni penelitian hukum empiris. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Upaya yang dilakukan untuk memaksimalkan pelaporan gratifikasi di UPG dimulai dengan penataan struktur kelembagaan UPG, pengadaan perangkat aturan dalam bentuk standar operasional prosedur (SOP), mendorong penyediaan anggaran pengelolaan UPG dan menyusun rencana kerja jangka pendek dan jangka panjang. Pelaporan gratifikasi melalui kanal UPG Inspektorat Kota Ternate, masih terkendala oleh kurangnya SDM di sekretariat UPG Inspektorat Kota Ternate, yang mana pengelola UPG harus menanggung beban kerja ganda, selain mengelolan UPG juga memiliki tanggungjawab terhadap kerja-kerja reguler seperti pengawasan, audit dsb. sehingga hal ini akan mempengaruhi keprofesionalannya dalam bekerja. Selanjutnya, kendala yang teridentifikasi yakni kurangnya pengetahuan ASN tentang gratifikasi dan mekanisme pelaporan gratifikasi
