Frequentemente, as escolas enfrentam problemas no que diz respeito aos conflitos interpessoais entre os estudantes. Esses conflitos nascem no espaço de convivência diária, ao revelar as diferenças de contextos sociais, características físicas, pensamentos e sentimentos. Este estudo se caracteriza por uma pesquisa bibliográfica (Markoni e Lakatos, 2003) de cunho qualitativo. O trabalho considerou o seguinte problema: Como os conflitos interpares podem oportunizar desenvolvimento moral nas aulas de Educação Física? Para responder a esta questão, o objetivo foi refletir sobre de que forma os conflitos interpessoais podem oportunizar desenvolvimento moral nas aulas de Educação Física. As relações criadas pelos estudantes no ambiente escolar têm um papel fundamental na formação dos indivíduos. Por isso, os documentos oficiais da educação possuem em seus princípios fundantes aspectos relacionados à convivência (LDB, 1996; BNCC, 2017). É também nestas interações sociais que os conflitos interpessoais aparecem, pois, é no conviver que as diferenças/semelhanças se tornam concretas (Tognetta, Vinha, 2007; Vinha, 2003). A depender da qualidade das relações sociais entre professores e alunos, o ambiente poderá ser organizado de forma autocrática ou democrática. A Educação Física, dentre todas as disciplinas escolares, representa um espaço onde os conflitos interpessoais podem ser mais recorrentes devido aos seus conteúdos específicos, e também suas características de compartilhamento de espaço e materiais (Palma, 1997; Ghiraldelli, 1991; Saladini, 2018). Com base nos estudos teóricos citados, compreende-se que os conflitos interpessoais se caracterizam por situações de desequilíbrio que surgem na convivência entre duas ou mais pessoas. Infere-se que os professores de Educação Física continuam presos a uma visão tradicional de resolução de conflitos, com predileção para um ambiente de convivência autocrático. Dessa forma, conclui-se que a Educação Física, além de atuar junto as práticas corporais, também possui o propósito de uma a formação integral e autônoma dos estudantes, e sugere-se a construção de um ambiente de convivência democrático.

This study investigates the extent to which corporate governance (Corporate governance was captured by board diversity) influences the banking sector performance in Nigeria (Performance was captured by market share and employees’ satisfaction). The survey design was used in the study, which involved administering structured questionnaires to management staff at three Nigerian banks. Two hypotheses were developed and evaluated based on the study's objectives. The research was done by using information gathered from chosen employees of three Nigerian banks. The study used charts to analyse the demographic data, and regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis using SPSS version 25. The findings reveal that board diversity significantly influence market share of the Nigerian banking sector. The R-Square indicates that 40.8% change in market share is accounted for by board diversity. Furthermore, the findings from the test of the second hypothesis indicate that board diversity significantly influences employees’ satisfaction of the Nigerian banking sector. The R-Square indicates that 61.1% change in employees’ satisfaction is accounted for by board diversity. One can conclude that board diversity is an important determinant of the banking sector market share and employees’ satisfaction. Therefore, it is recommended that Nigerian banks should strive towards having a diversified board, which cut across ethnic groups, race and gender. The regulator (Central Bank of Nigeria) should put policies in place that will emphasize the diversity of banks’ board
ESPAÇO SOCIAL E O TEMPO HISTÓRICO NA ERA GLOBAL: JUVENTUDE E A EMERGÊNCIA DE RITUAIS DE IMPASSE
Authors: Carvalho Samara dos Santos
Published: January 2024

Esse trabalho tem como objetivo propor, através da pesquisa bibliográfica, considerações acerca da configuração do espaço social e o tempo histórico na era global. Nesse sentido, pretende-se problematizar as mudanças trazidas pelo neoliberalismo e os impactos gerados nos fenômenos geracionais e de juventude. Diante das substanciais mudanças apresentadas nas últimas décadas, observa-se um esfacelamento dos rituais que demarcavam, de forma concisa, a transição entre a juventude e a vida adulta. Observa-se que, nos últimos anos, os traços que delimitam as fronteiras entre as diferentes fases da vida estão mais fluidos e descontínuos. Nesse sentido, os rituais de passagens, dão lugar aos “rituais de impasse” que ressignificam os fenômenos geracionais e trazem novas dinâmicas às experiências sociais vivenciadas pela juventude. Entre os diversos aspectos que contribuem para o prolongamento das fases da vida destacam-se as precariedades nas relações de trabalho e mercadorização da vida, ocasionadas pelo neoliberalismo, a intensificação do mal-estar psíquico e a transformação da intimidade.

The first lactation weekly test day milk yield (WTDMY) records (57233) and monthly test day milk yield (MTDMY) records (11970) spread over a period of 23 years (1984– 2006) sired by 82 bulls of Karan Fries cattle were used to develop the best lactation curve model. The lactation curve parameters of Quadratic cum log model (QCLM), Gamma function (GF), Cobby Le Du model (CLDM), Polynomial regression function (PRF) and Multiphasic logistic function (MLF) were estimated. The average weekly test day milk yield was predicted with high degree of accuracy (R2 > 85%) by all the models with the maximum accuracy (R2 = 99.50%) obtained by polynomial regression function (PRF) and the least fit (R2 = 87.90%) was obtained by Gamma function (GF). However Quadratic cum log model (R2 = 99.20%) was almost equal to polynomial regression function and was better than Cobby Le Du model (R2 = 92.80%). The average root mean square error (RMSE) was found to be minimum with PRF (0.0121 Kg) followed by MLF (Triphasic). Thus the best fit model was polynomial regression function, which was better than other functions for prediction of first lactation WTDMY. The average monthly test day milk yield was predicted with high degree of accuracy (R2 > 75%) by all the models with the maximum accuracy (R2 > 99.41%) obtained by polynomial regression function (PRF) and the least fit was obtained with gamma function (R2 = 79.05%). However, quadratic-cum-log model (R2 = 99.28%) was almost equal to polynomial regression function and was better than CLDM (R2 = 89.50%). The average root mean square error (RMSE) was found to be minimum with PRF (0.0061 kg) followed by QCLM (0.0620). Thus the best fit model was polynomial regression function for prediction of both weekly and monthly test day milk yield of first lactation in Karan Fries cows.

Published: January 2024

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplementing different levels of green tea or tea catechins on total cholesterol (TC), total triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels in the plasma of laying hens, as well as the TC, TG and total fatty acid (TFA) levels in breast and thigh meat and egg yolk. Laying hens (1620), 16-week-old, were randomly assigned to 9 dietary groups. Each treatment had 180 birds with 3 replicates. The basal diet was respectively supplemented with green tea powder (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 g/kg) and tea catechins (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 g/kg). Hens were then reared in battery cages for 60 days. Supplementation with 6 g/kg green tea and 1 g/kg tea catechins at day 56 lowered TC, TG and LDL levels in both plasma and meat, increased plasma HDL levels and decreased yolk TG levels, where statistical significance was considered quadratically. TC levels in yolk were not affected. The addition of green tea and tea catechins had no effect on the levels of myristic acid (C14: 0), stearic acid (C18: 0), oleic acid (C18: 1), linoleic acid (C18: 2n-6), arachidonic acid (C20: 4n-6) and TFA content in yolk, but increased the unsaturated fatty acid content. Dietary green tea and tea catechins increased the excretion of TFA in faeces compared to the control. These results suggest that the addition of green tea and/or tea catechins to the diet of laying hens can improve lipid metabolism and the fatty acid composition of egg yolk.

Os resíduos sólidos surgiram em paralelo com a evolução dos seres humanos, e são provenientes dos avanços culturais, sociais, da economia e da tecnologia. O Ponto de Entrega Voluntária de Resíduos Sólidos (PEV) é um local onde a comunidade pode descartar os resíduos que podem ser reciclados. Nesse local o veículo de coleta pode fazer a seleção do material e esses resíduos podem ser enviados para catadores de materiais recicláveis. Objetiva-se no presente artigo demonstrar a aplicabilidade do ponto de entrega voluntária como um tipo de coleta seletiva, além de apresentar as principais dificuldades de se implementar este tipo de coleta. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, elaborada a partir da seguinte pergunta norteadora: O ponto de entrega voluntária é um meio eficaz de se fazer a coleta seletiva? Após a leitura dos títulos e dos resumos dos artigos, foram selecionados sete artigos para a elaboração do manuscrito, cujos conteúdos foram analisados à luz dos conceitos de (i) educação ambiental, (ii) ecologia profunda e (iii) (bio)ética para todos os seres. Para que o Ponto de Entrega Voluntária seja efetivo em sua função de coleta seletiva se faz necessário levar em conta a distância percorrida - antes de sua implementação, o investimento em educação ambiental, sustentabilidade e conscientização da comunidade, o que pode ser analisado em termos ético-políticos para todos os seres, dentro da inquietude e desafio para construção do debate das relações homem-natureza.

Authors: Yadeta Dese , Chala Debeli
Published: January 2024

Ecosystems contribute to sustainable development by integrating economic and social development through sustainable natural resource conservation. This paper examines the contribution of the Majang forest ecosystem to livelihoods, the main products derived from the Majang forest ecosystem, and the factors affecting the dependence on ecosystem goods and services. Our present paper's main objective was to investigate how local livelihoods are impacted by Majang forest ecosystems and how those ecosystems contribute to local livelihoods. Before the main survey, we carried out reconnaissance and a pretest survey. The research was conducted using a mixed-method approach that combined quantitative and qualitative methods. Semi-structured survey questionnaires were used to gather the data. Our research showed that the products of the forest ecosystem are very important for the subsistence of the local populations and how dependent they are on them. Our research showed that the essential components of the Majang forest ecosystem products are beekeeping, fish, bushmeat, mushrooms, firewood, and building materials. According to our research, beekeeping accounts for 42.7% of household income, followed by firewood at 26.5 percent. Our findings indicate that income from the Majang forest ecosystems contributes 64.53% of total household income, compared to 35.47% from other alternative income sources. Additionally, the findings demonstrate that household characteristics had a significant impact on the reliance level of the forest ecosystem. Our research has shown how heavily local communities rely on the goods of Majang forest ecosystems. Our findings show the enormous socioeconomic importance of Majang forest ecosystem services to local communities. Our research's conclusions have significant implications for managers and decision-makers. Our results suggest that the conservation and sustainable use of forest ecosystems requires the intervention of decision-makers.

Organisation as a Taboo? Chances and Risks of Explicitly Dealing With the Issue of Organization in Inter-Organizational Transformative Initiatives
Authors: Ukowitz Martina
Published: January 2024

Nowadays, innovation and transformation appear as leading ideas in nearly all societal fields. Against the background of rapid technological development, globalisation, ecological challenges, and social change, perspectives of desired futures have to be developed, and how these perspectives should be realised has to be negotiated. With the latter, questions of organisation arise. This paper contributes to the examination of organisational aspects of transformation in the field of education. The research on the development process of the inter-organisational initiative Educational Lab reveals that awareness of organisational aspects is not a matter of course. The lab's participants share a vague vision of innovative education and a commitment to the idea of intervening in the educational system. Apart from that, heterogeneity, conflicting institutional logics, and a lack of awareness of the "organisational self "are setting the scene. Organisational aspects seem to be taboo. The explorative qualitative case study research, conducted in a transdisciplinary research setting, leads to seven hypotheses on dynamics concerning organisational aspects of the establishment process. The theoretical conclusions drawn are twofold: First, avoiding the "organisation" issue increases uncertainty in complex constellations. It hinders an initiative, and at the same time, it is a kind of self-protection in a situation where roles and responsibilities and the consequences of organisational determinations are unclear. Secondly, in little-established inter-organisational transformation initiatives, new organisational designs that take tension areas into account and facilitate organisational agreements are needed. Thus, it seems promising to understand inter-organisational constellations as hybrid organisations and to further elaborate adequate concepts that are able to grasp real-world complexity and give orientation to organisational practice.
Power as Gift

The article addresses the question of whether Derrida in his political theology can be considered an “unfaithful” reader of Schmitt. While Derrida does not quote Schmitt’s Political Theology, some of his assertions are reminiscent of Schmitt’s disciplinary use of political theology. Indeed, Schmitt’s account of the relationship between exception, decision, and sovereignty was abundantly discussed in Derrida’s last seminar, The Beast and the Sovereign. Derrida attempts in this seminar to deconstruct the sovereignty of the nation-state and its onto-theologico-political foundation. The question I raise in this article is whether, in previous years, Derrida himself had not implicitly made a different political theology that, considering the negative theological path, develops an alternative idea of power. The hypothesis explored is that this alternative paradigm is derived from one of the names of the impossible: the gift.

Adenosine alterations to RNA, which are largely determined by RNA modification writers (RMWs), are critical for cancer growth and progression. These RMWs can catalyze different types of adenosine modifications, such as N6-methyladenosine (m6A), N1-methyladenosine (m1A), alternative polyadenylation (APA), and adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing. These modifications have profound effects on gene expression and function, such as immune response, cell development. Despite this, the clinical effects of RMW interactive genes on these cancers remain largely unclear. A comprehensive analysis of the clinical impact of these epigenetic regulators in pan-cancer requires further comprehensive exploration. Here, we systematically profiled the molecular and clinical characteristics of 26 RMWs across 33 cancer types using multi-omics datasets and validated the expression level of some RMWs in various cancer lines. Our findings indicated that a majority of RMWs exhibited high expression in diverse cancer types, and this expression was found to be significantly associated with poor patient outcomes. In the genetic alterations, the amplification and mutation of RMWs were the dominant alteration events. Consequently, the RNA Modification Writer Score (RMW score) was established as a means to assess the risk of RMWs in pan-cancer. We found that 27 of 33 cancers had significantly higher scores compared with normal tissues, and it was significantly correlated with prognosis. We also evaluated their impact on the tumor microenvironment and the response to immunotherapy and targeted therapy. These findings verified the important role of RMWs in different aspects of cancer biology, and provided biomarkers and personalized therapeutic targets for cancer.
Entrepreneurial universities: Modelling the link between innovation producers and innovation users shows that team structures in the tech transfer function improves performance
Authors: Mondal Charles , Al-Kfairy Mousa , Mellor Robert B.
Published: January 2024

To investigate successful technology transfer, the potential path of innovations from the university research bench to the knowledge recipient is modelled. Universities exist in highly regulated environments and the initial path of decision-making is a hierarchical model and where decisions flow upward from manager to manager until a small number of candidate innovations for commercialization remain. These are then routed for further processing to the link connecting to the knowledge recipient, the Technology Transfer Office (TTO). In the TTO, a hierarchical decision-making model can be acceptable in terms of outcomes, but ambidextrous co-operative team structures are much superior in cases where staff have good insight and decision-making abilities. This report represents the first Structured Equation Model investigation of the management architecture of a TTO.
The Hybrid Conservator
Authors: Baker Whitney
Published: January 2024

As new preservation programs emerge, many research libraries can afford to hire only one conservation professional, a “hybrid conservator,” whose position description includes oversight of batched, mass production treatments (usually for circulating collections) and execution of single item treatments (usually for special collections). In order to determine some of the most frequent and persistent challenges facing this relatively new strain of conservation professional, an informal survey was developed and distributed to members of the American Library Association’s preservation administrators’ online discussion group (PADG). The results of this survey, albeit limited, indicate several distinct challenges facing those in hybrid conservator positions, centering on the variety of administrative duties that take time away from high-end treatment activities preferred by many conservators. This paper discusses the most pressing concerns of the respondents and proposes solutions to some of the most common challenges facing the hybrid conservator.

Switching behavior to use green vehicles in last-mile delivery in e-commerce: Perspective from consumption values
Authors:   Thuongmai University, Lê Xuân Cù
Published: January 2024

The study aims to explain switching behavior toward green vehicle usage of last-mile delivery in e-commerce in Vietnam. A research framework is proposed based on perceived values of green vehicles and environmental concerns. The study collects data from 343 shippers who have used fossil fuel-powered vehicles from 04/2023 to 06/2023, and structural equation modeling is applied to examine proposed hypotheses. Results demonstrate that emotional, functional, and social values positively influence environmental concerns and attitude. Epistemic value motivates environmental concerns, whereas this antecedent does not affect attitude. Additionally, environmental concerns and attitude are essential catalysts for fostering switching intention toward green vehicle usage of last-mile delivery. Finally, academic and managerial implications are discussed to assist manufacturers and logistic providers to adopt communication campaigns in order to trigger switching behavior in Vietnam
