FUTURE TIME PERSPECTIVE, PROCRASTINATION AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION IN ARGENTINIAN COLLEGE STUDENTS DURING THE PANDEMIC
Authors: Brenlla María Elena , Fernández Da Lama Rocio Giselle , Rodríguez Marengo Inés , Saint Cricq Elena
Published: May 2022

Numerous studies have addressed psychological aspects of students’ life during the pandemic; however, data related to the role of future time perspective and sociodemographic differences -age and gender- in the relationship with procrastination and motivation is scarce. It was hypothesized that the relationship between future time perspective and procrastination would be negative, but positive with motivation, and that age and gender would have a differential moderating effect on those. This study was online and questionnaire-based. 257 undergraduate Psychology students aged 18–44 from the Catholic Argentinean University took part in the study. The results of moderation analysis allowed accepting partially the hypothesis formulated for procrastination, but for motivation the hypothesis was partially confirmed, since the relationship between future time perspective and motivation was not significant for men or for older students. These findings provide some insight into the role of future time perspective in behavior outcomes, especially in critical contexts like one of the pandemic, and how internal differences might enhance or diminish it. Moreover, the inclusion of certain psychological measures could be taken in order to compensate negative effects that higher procrastination and lower motivation can have in students.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND BURNOUT SYNDROME IN GREEK TEACHERS IN REMOTE LEARNING SITUATION
Authors: Nikolova Simona , Mancheva Rusanka
Published: May 2022

Organizational changes in the educational systems around the world during the period of pandemic and post-pandemic, imposed by the distance form of education, are related to changes in the psychosocial functioning of teachers. This article presents the study of the relationship between professional burnout and emotional intelligence in a Greek sample of teachers. Dimension of Personal Achievement was found to correlate positively with all dimensions of emotional intelligence: Regulation of emotion, Other’s emotion appraisal, Self emotion appraisal, and Use of emotions. Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization in the context of burnout are negatively related to the dimensions of emotional intelligence. High emotional intelligence is significantly associated with low emotional exhaustion and a low degree of depersonalization in teachers. This study supports the predictive role of emotional intelligence concerning burnout.
SCREENAGERS OR "SCREAMAGERS"? CURRENT PERSPECTIVES ON GENERATION ALPHA
Authors: Drugas Marius
Published: May 2022

People love to talk about generations, especially when the feeling is that the world is rapidly changing. Terms such as millennials or Generation Z are already used worldwide, even if the sociological origins of the generation theory are less known by the general public. Although Generation Z was defined as digital natives, there are voices trying to suggest that a new digital native generation is here, and its name is Generation Alpha or screenagers. We are not sure if there is a clear border between these digital native generations, although there are some recent findings identifying them as more curious, creative, or self-determined than their predecessors. The technology dependence also brings relational and emotional issues, and we used the term of "screamagers" to describe their ill-tempered behaviors. However, there is a risk of devolving into stereotyping, when the scientific evidence on this topic, for now, seems to be scarce. Perhaps it is too early to speak about a new generation and more scientific studies are needed to increase our understanding of the evolution of people born after 2010.

Machine learning has many important applications in the stock price prediction. Here, we will discuss about predicting the returns on stocks. This has uncertainties and it is a very complex task. This project will be developed into two parts: First, we will learn how to predict stock price using the Long Short-Term Memory neural networks. Predicting stock market prices involves human-computer interaction. For stock market analysis, conventional batch processing methods cannot be utilized efficiently due to the correlated nature of stock prices. We suggest an algorithm that utilizes a kind of recurrent neural network (RNN) called Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), where using stochastic gradient descent the weights are adjusted for individual data points
Distant Theory in Comparative Literary Studies
Authors: Braga Corin
Published: May 2022

In this paper I want to propose a hermeneutical approach that I call “distant theory”. I start from the premise that mythology, literature and art, especially antique, medieval and early modern, in order to be fully comprehended need a reconstruction of the respective visions of the world and of human nature in which they were created and read by their public. This is also true for modern and contemporary works, but while pre-modern metaphysical and anthropological systems have been acculturated and are no longer in use, current systems, belonging to the scientific “vulgate” of our days, are spontaneously endorsed and accepted by literary and art critics as valid and true. I call this unquestionable use by commentators of cosmological and psychological theories “close theory”. In contrast, in order to avoid anachronistic mismatching of works belonging to a certain historical cultural paradigm with methods deriving from other paradigms, I propose an approach in which all ontological and psychological systems, be they antique or present, should be considered mere intellectual artefacts, “master narratives”, dependent on their respective epochs. This relativistic attitude would allow a “distant approach” especially to nowadays theories, freeing the literary and art analysts of the task of having to certify themselves theories that belong to other domains.
The Solar Cycle Temporal Variation of the Solar Wind Charge Exchange X-Ray Lines
Authors: Qu Zhijie , Koutroumpa Dimitra , Bregman Joel N. , Kuntz Kip D. , Kaaret Philip
Published: May 2022

Solar wind charge exchange (SWCX) is the primary contamination of soft X-ray emission lines from the Milky Way (MW) hot gas. We report a solar cycle (≈10 yr) temporal variation of observed O vii and O viii emission line measurements in the XMM-Newton archive, which is tightly correlated with the solar cycle traced by the sunspot number (SSN). This temporal variation is expected to be associated with the heliospheric SWCX. Another observed correlation is that higher solar wind (SW) fluxes lead to higher O vii or O viii fluxes, which is due to the magnetospheric SWCX. We construct an empirical model to reproduce the observed correlation between the line measurements and the solar activity (i.e., the SW flux and the SSN). With this model we discovered a lag of

0.91

+
0.20

yr between the O vii flux and the SSN. This time lag is a combination of the SW transit time within the heliosphere, the lag of the neutral gas distribution responding to solar activity, and the intrinsic lag between the SSN and the launch of a high-energy SW (i.e., O7+ and O8+). MW O vii and O viii fluxes have mean values of 5.4 L.U. and 1.7 L.U., which are reduced by 50% and 30%, compared to studies where the SWCX contamination is not removed. This correction also changes the determination of the density distribution and the temperature profile of the MW hot gas.
Effect of pond fertilization on growth performance of pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) during grow-out phase
Authors: Rezende Fabricio Pereira , Lima Adriana Ferreira
Published: May 2022

Fertilization of aquaculture ponds has been pointed out as an efficient practice to improve fish feed conversion and growth performance. In this way, the present study aimed to assess the effect of pond fertilization on the growth performance, body composition, and water quality of juvenile pirarucu Arapaima gigas reared in earthen ponds (600 m²) during the grow-out phase. Two fertilized and two non-fertilized ponds were stocked with 208 juvenile pirarucus (19.9 ± 3.6 g and 15.0 ± 0.9 cm) and reared for 100 days. All four ponds were limed before the study. Ponds were fertilized before fish were stocked and weekly until the end of the experiment, and fish offered feed until apparent satiation. Pirarucu reared in fertilized ponds presented higher final weight (20%) and biomass (19%), further to lower feed intake and feed conversion rate (1.31) than fish reared in non-fertilized ponds (1.61). Pond fertilization did not affect the fish coefficient of variation, which was reduced over the culture cycle. The body composition of fish reared in fertilized ponds presented higher water content, protein, and energy retention rates and lowered crude fat and energy. Fertilized ponds presented lower transparency levels and higher pH from the 50th day of culture, whereas ammonia concentration was higher in the fertilized ponds in the first 25 days. Therefore, pond fertilization is a recommended practice for pirarucu during the grow-out phase.
Red mangrove crab Ucides occidentalis (Ortmann, 1987) (Brachyura: Ocypodidae): complete embryonic development under laboratory conditions
Authors: Ramos-Veliz John , Roche Oreste Gainza , Ortega Diego Cumbicus , Pozo-Cajas Mireya
Published: May 2022

The red crab Ucides occidentalis (locally called "guariche") is widely distributed along Ecuador's coastline and is the most important crustacean fishery exploited by local coastal communities. However, a lack of information on the species' reproductive cycle has hindered conservation and sustainable management initiatives. Here we documented for the first time the complete embryonic development of U. occidentalis, based on its morphological traits. Thirteen ovigerous females were collected in the field, maintained in captivity, and fed with leaves and tender mangrove propagules. Egg samples were taken every 12 h and analyzed under the microscope to evaluate embryonic development. U. occidentalis eggs had eight different embryonic stages, which maintained their spherical shape during the entire developmental. The eggs were relatively small and uniform in size. The tenuous heart beating of the precursor coincided with the formation of chromatophores in stage V and became more frequent at stage VIII, just before hatching. The incubation period lasted 15 days. Despite the rapid development, the increase in egg size and volume was not uniform during sequential stages.

Published: May 2022

The Pacific mackerel Scomber japonicus aquaculture is receiving growing attention, and further development of this industry is expected to protect wild stocks. Information on S. japonicus hematology is very limited. Therefore, the present study aimed to provide the hematological and serum chemistry profiles associated with sex and some seasonal variations in Pacific mackerel from Todos Santos Bay, Baja California, Mexico. Fish were sampled in April (spring) and August (summer). Results showed that the condition factor and all blood parameters analyzed in male and female mackerel were not affected by sex (P > 0.05). The seasonality effect on the mackerel was observed in some blood parameters such as mean corpuscular hemoglobin, total protein, globulin, and triglycerides that exhibited lower values in April compared to August (P < 0.05). While white blood cell count was higher in August (P < 0.05) compared with April. The fish sampled during the two sampling times were possibly a heterogeneous group of ages (1 to 3 years) with lengths ranging from 20 to 30 cm. Consequently, there is an urgent need to follow doing reference interval databases to assess Pacific mackerel health status under different conditions.
Dactylitis Is Associated With More Severe Axial Joint Damage and Higher Disease Activity in Axial Psoriatic Arthritis
Authors: Li Shan-Shan , Du Na , He Shi-Hao , Liang Xu , Li Tian-Fang
Published: May 2022

Objective

To investigate the association of dactylitis with disease activity and the severity of damage detected by radiography in patients with axial psoriatic arthritis (axPsA).

Methods

Patients with axPsA who met the Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis were recruited. Clinical data, radiographic changes, and disease activity in patients with axPsA with or without dactylitis were compared using t tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, or Kruskal-Wallis tests for continuous variables. Chi-square or Fisher exact tests were used for categorical variables, and logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between dactylitis and damage detected by radiography.

Results

A total of 186 patients with axPsA were analyzed and dichotomized according to the presence or absence of dactylitis. Patients with dactylitis, as compared to those without dactylitis, had higher C-reactive protein (P = 0.004), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (P = 0.006), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (P = 0.04), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (P = 0.02). In addition, patients with dactylitic axPsA, as compared to patients with nondactylitic axPsA, had higher tender joint counts, swollen joint counts, Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) scores, and Health Assessment Questionnaire scores (P < 0.001). Patients with axPsA who had dactylitis, as compared to those who did not, also had higher values for the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints, Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index, and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (P < 0.05), while fewer of these patients met the criteria for minimal disease activity and low disease activity (P < 0.05). Consistently, they had more severe damage as detected by radiography (P < 0.05), higher sacroiliac scores (odds ratio [OR] 2.08, 95% CI 1.14-3.79; P = 0.02), and a more significant reduction in bone mass density (OR 2.42, 95% CI 1.34-4.37; P = 0.003). No statistical differences were observed regarding HLA-B27 and the Leeds Enthesitis Index between these 2 groups of patients. Notably, only half of the patients with dactylitic axPsA had inflammatory back pain.

Conclusion

Our study demonstrated that patients with axPsA who had dactylitis had higher disease activity and more severe joint damage compared to those without dactylitis. Careful examination and proper management of axial involvement are recommended.
Les dynamiques de la socialisation anticipatoire
Authors: Galois-Faurie Isabelle , Grima François , Barros Marcos
Published: May 2022

Cet article a pour objectif de comprendre la socialisation anticipatoire, étape amont du processus de socialisation organisationnelle. Articulant le cadre théorique de l’adéquation personne-organisation et les quelques rares travaux sur cette étape peu étudiée dans la littérature, une étude de cas unique fut réalisée. Sur la base de 38 entretiens, nos résultats enrichissent le modèle de référence de la socialisation organisationnelle de Feldman (1976). Nous distinguons la socialisation anticipatoire de la pré-socialisation organisationnelle. Nous montrons le développement d’une dynamique de mobilisation des ressources cognitives, sociales et émotionnelles de l’individu pour se construire une représentation favorable de la relation avec un potentiel employeur. Ces résultats revêtent des enjeux managériaux et sociétaux tant la compréhension de cette étape permettra de rendre plus efficace la recherche d’emploi et le recrutement de nouveaux collaborateurs.
Diversité culturelle et pratiques comptables : résultats d’une enquête réalisée auprès de PME camerounaises
Authors: Kamaha Marinette , Ipoumb Ginette Polienne , Valant Gandja Serge
Published: May 2022

Ce papier examine le lien entre culture et comptabilité. Les études antérieures sur la question ont procédé à des comparaisons entre pays aux systèmes comptables différents et ont considéré la culture à l’échelle nationale. Très peu d’entre elles prennent en compte la dimension culturelle dans la recherche des déterminants de la complexité des systèmes d’information comptables des PME. De plus, la culture à l’échelle d’un pays est le plus souvent considéré comme homogène ; or certains pays comme le Cameroun sont caractérisés par une forte diversité culturelle. Sous le prisme de la multiculturalité, l’étude examine les pratiques comptables des PME camerounaises, et suggère l’influence de quelques spécificités culturelles.
Rendre les ḥarāṭīn visibles dans l’histoire marocaine et mauritanienne
Authors: McDougall E. Ann , Nouhi Mohamed Lahbib
Published: May 2022

Que ce soit au Maroc ou en Mauritanie, toute histoire des ḥarāṭīn implique des questions sur l’étymologie du mot, des termes linguistiques ambigus et variables, un décalage entre les notions de « statut social » et de « condition économique » et des débats (académiques) sur l’identité ḥarāṭīn à tout moment et partout. Dans les deux contextes, nous trouvons des controverses sur le rôle joué par la notion de race dans la définition des ḥarāṭīn aux yeux de la société. Ce chapitre examine deux « moments » historiques clés où les ḥarāṭīn sont devenus le point de convergence entre changement social et « identité raciale ». Le premier se passe au Maroc du XVII e -début XVIII e  siècles, dans le contexte de la création par Moulay Ismaïl de sa tristement célèbre « armée d’esclaves » ( ˤabīd al-Bukhārī ). Le second moment renvoie à la Mauritanie du XX e  siècle, dans le contexte du colonialisme français et de ses efforts foncièrement contradictoires pour abolir l’esclavage. Dans les deux cas, les ḥarāṭīn étaient les catalyseurs qui avaient généré des controverses politiques qui reflétaient des confrontations subtiles entre des conceptions du pouvoir, religieuses (islamiques) et laïques (gouvernementales).
« Hartani » : une enquête au pays des mots
Authors: Taine-Cheikh Catherine
Published: May 2022

L’étude du terme « hartani », en usage dans une partie du Maghreb (arabophone et/ou berbérophone), comprend deux volets. Dans la première partie sont présentés les emplois de ce terme − sa distribution géographique, ses variations phonétiques et sémantiques, ses quasi-synonymes. L’enquête porte, successivement, sur les dialectes arabes et sur les variétés du berbère. Dans la seconde partie, le champ lexical de l’esclavage est revisité à partir des notions de travail et de liberté d’une part, de hiérarchie sociale et de couleurs de peau d’autre part.
Genre, statut et ethnicisation des ḥarāṭīn de Mauritanie
Authors: Fortier Corinne
Published: May 2022

Dans la société maure de Mauritanie, la catégorie statutaire de ḥarāṭīn, formée d’anciens esclaves ou de leurs descendants, loin d’être homogène, est constituée d’une pluralité de statuts, empruntant largement son vocabulaire au lexique chromatique. Je propose une nouvelle explication du terme ḥarṭāni dans la société maure, applicable aux autres sociétés sahariennes du Maghreb où ce terme est usité. Par ailleurs, le fait qu’il existe un terme spécifique pour désigner les femmes esclaves en arabe classique comme en ḥassāniyya, souligne l’importance de la différence des sexes au sein de cette catégorie sociale. Récemment, on observe un mouvement d’ethnicisation des ḥarāṭīn en Mauritanie dans la mesure où certains des partis politiques qui leur sont liés revendiquent qu’ils ne soient plus reconnus comme une catégorie statutaire au sein de la société maure mais comme une « ethnie » à part entière ou qu’ils soient rattachés à la catégorie ethno-raciale de « Négro-Africains ».
Being Ḥarāṭīn ? Being Ḫəđ̣riyyîn ? Fluid Meanings of Ethnic Terms in Mauritania’s Assaba Region
Authors: Wiley Katherine Ann
Published: May 2022

Basé sur une étude menée en Mauritanie, cet article vise l’exploration dans le cas des ḥarāṭīn , de la relation complexe entre statut et condition et quelques facteurs qui les affectent. Il examine plusieurs termes liés à la couleur de peau et utilisés pour désigner ce groupe dans des contextes différents. L’étude révèle l’usage relativement répandu dans cette région du terme ḫəđ̣riyyîn (référant à une couleur vert-sombre ou noirâtre) comme alternative pour ḥarāṭīn . En fait, les cas examinés ici attestent que les termes comme ḫəđ̣riyyîn ou ḥarāṭīn peuvent acquérir même au sein d’une même région des significations différentes selon le contexte dans lequel ils sont évoqués. Il faudrait reconnaître toute la complexité de l’identité que ces gens ont choisie, sans pour autant en exclure le facteur essentiel de la couleur qui a un impact sur la vie quotidienne.
L’économie de plantation et le statut des ḥarāṭīn dans l’Adrar tmar
Authors: Bonte Pierre
Published: May 2022

À partir d’enquêtes de terrain menées entre 1970 et 1985 dans l’Adrar tmar, « l’Adrar des dattes », et de la consultation des archives du cercle d’Atar, en particulier des recensements de l’époque coloniale, Pierre Bonte traite d’un des parcours des populations ḥarāṭīn sahariennes en relation avec le développement de l’économie de plantation des palmiers-dattiers. Liée au développement de l’habitat qsûrien dans les cités caravanières, la croissance des palmeraies de l’Adrar, d’abord lente au début du XIX e  siècle, s’est accélérée dans la seconde moitié de ce siècle, puis sous la colonisation, grâce à l’utilisation de la force de travail d’origine servile. Le fiqh , distinguant la propriété du sol de celle des plantations qu’il porte, a favorisé le recours à l’affranchissement et le développement de formes contractuelles de travail de ces populations, dont les modalités sont détaillées (contrats de métayage, de complant, etc.). Les stratégies d’affranchissement concernent aussi les femmes par le biais des mariages. L’exemple de la palmeraie d’al-Meddaḥ, située au sud-ouest de l’Adrar, illustre la diversité des statuts – sociaux, économiques, fonciers – et des trajectoires personnelles des ḥarāṭīn dans le contexte de cette économie de plantation. Une des conclusions de cet article souligne la forte mobilité géographique de ces ḥarāṭīn pour bénéficier de nouvelles solidarités et protections.
Entreprises transnationales françaises et crime de colonisation par peuplement au Sahara Occidental
Authors: Quéré Antoine
Published: May 2022

Les ressources économiques du Sahara Occidental sont nombreuses et attirent les entreprises étrangères, dont les entreprises françaises. Le droit pénal français pourrait contrarier les stratégies de ces acteurs privés : en effet, l’article 461-26 du Code pénal réprime le crime de colonisation par peuplement. Cette infraction nécessite d’établir l’existence d’une situation d’occupation et d’un conflit armé international. Est-ce le cas en l’espèce ? Les entreprises ont-elles conscience de violer la loi pénale et le font-elles volontairement ? Surtout, quels types d’activités économiques sont susceptibles de constituer matériellement le crime de colonisation par peuplement et comment rattacher et imputer ce crime à des fictions juridiques que sont les entreprises transnationales françaises ?
Patrimoine mondial en Afrique de l’Ouest entre défis de représentativité et de gestion : l’exemple du Mali et du Sénégal
Authors: Agbaka Opêoluwa Blandine , Paquette Jonathan
Published: May 2022

L’Afrique est sous-représentée sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco. Les difficultés du patrimoine mondial sur le continent sont le reflet d’un malaise sérieux, en matière de conception des politiques culturelles, d’adéquation des systèmes de gestion, de participation active avérée des communautés locales au processus de patrimonialisation et d’appropriation efficace des perceptions locales du patrimoine. Le présent article, à travers l’exemple du Sénégal et du Mali propose une analyse des défis de représentativité et de gestion du patrimoine mondial en Afrique de l’Ouest dans une perspective d’ancrage local.
Le paradoxe de la démocratie participative dans la gestion du bien culturel de Tombouctou
Authors: Traoré Hadizatou
Published: May 2022

La présente contribution se propose d’aborder la mise en œuvre de ce qui est communément appelé aujourd’hui « démocratie participative » dans la gestion du bien culturel de Tombouctou. Le mode de gestion séculaire de ce patrimoine revêtait les allures d’une gestion participative bien qu’il existe une hiérarchie parmi les acteurs locaux en charge de cette gestion. Nous verrons cependant comment paradoxalement cette politique de démocratie participative de l’Unesco et de l’État malien a entraîné des changements qui auraient en partie contribué à accentuer cette hiérarchie, susciter des tensions, exclure par la même occasion certains acteurs de la gestion tout en en privilégiant d’autres.
La notion d’« artisanat d’art » au Niger
Authors: Boucksom Audrey
Published: May 2022

Au Niger, les services spécialisés dans la Politique Nationale de Développement de l’Artisanat (PNDA) considèrent l’artisanat d’art d’un point de vue essentiellement économique, entraînant une occultation de sa dimension culturelle. Cette vision héritée de la période coloniale est problématique car, dans la culture populaire, l’artisanat et l’art ne font pas l’objet d’une distinction, ils y sont considérés comme un tout, et aucun des deux n’est supérieur à l’autre. On comprend d’ailleurs toutes les limites d’une telle séparation rien qu’en utilisant le terme « artisanat d’art » ! La question est ici de déterminer en quoi la (mé)compréhension de la notion d’artisanat d’art par les pouvoirs publics nigériens et leurs partenaires étrangers est liée à une approche européocentrée, inadaptée à la réalité du Niger, dont l’une des principales conséquences est l’invisibilisation de l’individu créateur dans la promotion du secteur.
Effet patrimogène de l’ambiance sonore : écouter les rues de la médina de Tunis au XIX e siècle
Authors: Chtara Chiraz , Ben Hadj Salem Mohsen , Belakehal Azeddine
Published: May 2022

En écoutant les rues de la médina, on peut entendre des fragments d’espace sonore émergeant du passé. Les effets sonores, qui en découlent, s’inscrivent dans l’imaginaire collectif et deviennent un patrimoine en soi. Le paysage sonore de la médina peut alors constituer un patrimoine autonome. En effet, la prise de conscience de l’importance patrimoniale de l’environnement sonore est en plein essor. Les éléments du patrimoine sonore ravivent les signes des usages anciens dans un espace sonore où se mélangent inévitablement les sons émergeant du passé et ceux de notre environnement contemporain.
Un faciès original du Néolithique saharien : le gisement de l’Assif Ikebbâben (Maroc)
Authors: Rodrigue Alain
Published: May 2022

La région d’Akka (Maroc) compte de nombreux sites rupestres, de part et d’autre du Jbel Bani. La plaine a fourni des témoins d’occupation humaine au moins depuis le Paléolithique moyen. Des outils néolithiques ainsi que de la céramique ont été signalés au pied même des stations rupestres. L’opportunité nous est donnée ici de faire connaître une série lithique inédite et dont les indices semblent ne pas avoir souffert de ramassages sélectifs.
Risque de crédit, concurrence bancaire et indépendance monétaire dans les pays africains
Authors: Lawson Dzidzogbé Hechely
Published: May 2022

Cet article analyse l’incidence de la concurrence bancaire sur le risque de crédit dans les pays en développement. À partir des données de 26 pays africains, les résultats empiriques montrent qu’un niveau élevé de concurrence bancaire est source de risque bancaire avec un effet seuil. La concurrence bancaire génère plus de risques bancaires dans les pays à faible revenu que dans les pays à revenu intermédiaire. Contrairement à la concurrence bancaire, l’indépendance monétaire contribue à la réduction du risque bancaire. En outre, nos résultats montrent que l’appartenance à une union monétaire n’influence pas la relation entre la concurrence bancaire et le risque bancaire. Les résultats de cette recherche, montrent également que l’ouverture des capitaux contribue à la réduction du risque bancaire dans les pays africains.
L’instabilité politique et ses déterminants : un réexamen empirique
Authors: Eggoh Jude , Kobbi Hassen
Published: May 2022

De nombreux pays peuvent subir des crises politiques, parfois sévères avec des conséquences économiques dramatiques, sans qu’une analyse profonde des causes de ces phénomènes ne soit réellement effectuée. Une meilleure connaissance des facteurs favorisant l’instabilité politique permettrait de mieux la prévenir, la contenir et limiter ses effets néfastes. Le présent article s’inscrit dans cette perspective en revisitant les déterminants macroéconomiques et institutionnels de l’instabilité politique. L’analyse est effectuée à partir d’un large panel de 84 pays en développement sur la période 1975-2019, basée sur une approche factorielle de l’instabilité politique à travers les dimensions formelle et informelle. Les tests empiriques réalisés en coupe transversale et sur panel dynamique confirment que l’amélioration des conditions macroéconomiques diminue de façon significative l’instabilité politique. De même, des variables institutionnelles l’influencent significativement. Enfin, nos résultats suggèrent que des effets de contagion de l’instabilité politique liés à la proximité géographique sont observés et que l’âge du chef de l’exécutif accroît, à court terme, le risque d’instabilité politique formelle et informelle.
Efficience et mécanismes de mise en œuvre de l’approche systémique stratégique dans la résolution des conflits au travail
Authors: Becuwe Audrey , Vitry Grégoire
Published: May 2022

Plusieurs auteurs montrent que l’approche systémique et stratégique des interventions en organisation est efficiente. Cependant, ces démonstrations se basent sur des études de cas ou de petits échantillons qui ne permettent pas de généraliser les résultats. C’est pourquoi nous mesurons quantitativement l’efficience des interventions systémiques stratégiques. La population de l’étude quantitative est basée sur les données issues du réseau de recherche Syprene. L’efficience est mesurée sur la base de trois indicateurs : le GHQ-12, l’échelle de résolution des problèmes, et le nombre de séances d’intervention réalisées. Nous complétons ces données par l’observation d’un intervenant systémique missionné pour résoudre un double conflit de hiérarchie et d’autorité afin de décrire les processus de changement et d’intervention à l’origine des résultats obtenus. Premièrement, notre étude est la première à proposer des outils de mesure de l’efficience des interventions systémiques dans la sphère professionnelle. Deuxièmement, notre étude quantitative confirme dans le champ du travail les résultats sur l’efficience de l’approche stratégique systémique dans le champ de la santé mentale (Vitry et al., 2020). Enfin, à partir du concept fondateur de tentative de solution, notre étude qualitative permet de décrire et de rendre tangible le processus dysfonctionnel qui alimente les difficultés et conflits au travail. Nos résultats nous invitent à préconiser de sensibiliser à l’approche systémique les acteurs susceptibles d’accompagner les personnes en situation de conflit, mais aussi les acteurs RH. Nos travaux pourraient être complétés par l’évaluation de l’efficience d’une consultation en organisation combinant des interventions à la fois sur les structures organisationnelles et sur les relations interpersonnelles pour résoudre durablement les conflits au travail.
Child work and cognitive development: Results from four low to middle income countries
Authors: Keane Michael , Krutikova Sonya , Neal Timothy
Published: May 2022

We study the impact of child work on cognitive development in four Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries. We advance the literature by using cognitive test scores collected regardless of school attendance. We also address a key gap in the literature by controlling for children's complete time allocation budget. This allows us to estimate effects of different types of work, like chores and market/farm work, relative to specific alternative time‐uses, like school or study or play/leisure. Our results show child work is more detrimental to child development to the extent that it crowds out school/study time rather than leisure. We also show the adverse effect of time spent on domestic chores is similar to time spent on market and farm work, provided they both crowd out school/study time. Thus, policies to enhance child development should target a shift from all forms of work toward educational activities.
Valuation risk revalued
Authors: Groot Oliver , Richter Alexander W. , Throckmorton Nathaniel A.
Published: May 2022

This paper shows the success of valuation risk—time‐preference shocks in Epstein–Zin utility—in resolving asset pricing puzzles rests sensitively on the way it is introduced. The specification used in the literature is at odds with several desirable properties of recursive preferences because the weights in the time‐aggregator do not sum to one. When we revise the specification in a simple asset pricing model the puzzles resurface. However, when estimating a sequence of increasingly rich models, we find valuation risk under the revised specification consistently improves the ability of the models to match asset price and cash‐flow dynamics.

Authors: Arğın Emrah
Published: May 2022

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began affecting the whole world, various institutions and/or organizations have faced a negative situation. In this sense, one of the important organizations is the civil aviation enterprises. As is known, civil aviation enterprises, which were affected by social events and ensured the presence of a large passenger mass, had to take various measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Likewise, civil aviation enterprises, which include a large passenger capacity, that is, ensuring the coexistence of large masses, had to take various precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, Turkish Airlines (THY), which is selected as the most valuable brand of Turkey as a result of the research conducted by Brand Finance in 2021, was investigated.

The chapter highlights and discusses the relevant problems in sustainable aviation development; features the scientists' solutions addressing these issues, for instance, by using environmentally friendly aircraft engines, alternative energy sources, and materials; and discusses the likely results in the economy of this practice. The research conceptualizes and contributes to the novel literature on aviation area for supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in aviation area. Since the airline shipment continuously grows and is expected to become the fastest means among other modes of transport, it certainly brings environmental problems into view such as noise pollution, discarded fuels and emissions from burning, from both airplane and airport operational activities. These have been underlying issues demanding constant effort for energy, natural, and ecological experts.
Precautions and Support Packages During COVID-19 for Aviation Companies
Authors: Aslan Mustafa
Published: May 2022

The aviation industry is one of the most strategic industries because of economic, logistic, and defense reasons. The aviation sector, however, is a low-profit industry while requiring high investment and operating costs. This situation hinders the sustainability of the aviation industry by causing the sector to be adversely affected by any size of local or global crisis. The recent COVID-19 pandemic showed how vulnerable the sector is. Although almost all the countries have prepared support packages for the aviation sector, several companies have ceased their operations or filed for bankruptcy. For the rest that continue to operate, the trade-off between ensuring the operations and maintaining competition during and after the COVID-19 pandemic is challenging because of several political and economic factors. This chapter discusses the conditions of the aviation sector during the COVID-19 pandemic, its effect on the aviation sector, and the support packages created by states for the aviation sector to survive.

Authors: Yeğin Tuğba
Published: May 2022

The study examines the ongoing and changing situations in the air travel behavior of passengers during the COVID-19 period, within the framework of the passengers' perceived risk situations. Since air travel is the means of transportation that has the highest national and international mobility and accelerates the spread of the virus; focusing on changing passenger behaviors, this study examined consumer behaviors before and after the discovery of vaccines in air travel. The adequacy of the precautions and precautions taken during air travel in Turkey, whether the passengers use these precautions, and the risks and travel behaviors perceived by the passengers were examined using air travel and pre-pandemic comparative data. In addition to the literature contribution of the study, it is expected that airline companies will help them understand their passengers emotionally, provide them with better service, and realize more flights and passengers.

Published: May 2022

The general purposes of this chapter are to provide a related literature review and share current pedagogical practices supporting formative digital-based assessments, especially as pertains to online/hybrid environments shared among a variety of educational community members (preservice teachers, in service teachers, undergraduate and graduate students, university faculty, K-12 students and family members). The authors have implemented a cross-course collaborative model in which university undergraduate and graduate students collaborate with each other toward greater service to community family events. The literature review includes 1) pedagogies in online/ blended learning environments, 2) top inquiry-based learning digital tools within collaborative learning systems, 3) digital-based formative and summative assessment, 4) gamification and computational thinking. The authors then present frameworks of a cross-course collaboration model: 1) pedagogical applications of their journey storytelling as digital formative assessments, as well as 2) empathy and journey mapping.
Challenges of Design Thinking in the Innovation of Individuals and Organizations
Authors: Rosário Albérico Travassos
Published: May 2022

The digital transformation has brought new challenges to organizations identifying, recognizing, and reconfiguring technological challenges into opportunities. In this understanding of opportunities, design thinking (DT) can be an engine of sustainable innovation, enabling organizations to acquire a competitive advantage. Thus, problem approach is the ability to combine empathy in a problem context in order to place individuals at the center of project development generating creative capabilities to adopt in solutions. A systematic review of bibliometric literature (LRSB) of scientific and/or academic documents indexed in Scopus is done. However, the DT literature is highly fragmented, requiring development. This chapter draws on a rigorous LRSB methodology to understand the application of DT to business innovation in order to verify research themes and development patterns.
Formative E-Assessment as a Tool for Promoting Competence-Based E-Learning in Universities
Authors: Gikandi Joyce Wangui , Njuguna Alice M.
Published: May 2022

This chapter offers insights on how to address the key challenges facing universities in implementation of competence-based learning through effective use of formative e-assessment in e-learning for achievement of core competences. It is important to emphasize that use of formative e-assessment as a tool for assessment for learning (formative assessment) is an integral requirement for active and meaningful engagement in e-learning. However, such a focus has been inadequate based on what characterizes continuous assessment in many university e-learning settings particularly in developing nations. Validity of continuous assessment cannot be realized without purposeful focus on formative assessment and tailored feedback. This chapter contributes to better understanding of the pedagogical role and desirable best practices in applying formative e-assessment from a contextualized perspective towards competence-based e-learning. Contextualization implies paying attention to the unique needs of particular e-learning settings including ICT capacity, learners' needs, and experiences.
Examining Teacher Perceptions of the Current State of Testing and Assessment
Authors: Foster Jessica , Polly Drew
Published: May 2022

In this chapter, 132 teachers ranging from Kindergarten to Grade 12 in the United States were surveyed about their thoughts about their assessment system in their school as well as the assessment of non-tested subjects. Participants provided multiple alternatives focused on performance-based assessment, focusing on growth instead of achievement, as well as the need to have more teacher input in creating high-stakes assessments. The implications of this study can inform policy makers as well as state and district educational leaders who are in positions of power to select, modify, and create these assessments.
Using Guided Video Analysis to Enhance Preservice Teacher Reflective Practice in a Graduate Social Studies Methods Course
Authors: Oigara James N.
Published: May 2022

In teacher education, video recordings of instruction are frequently used to demonstrate effective teaching strategies to novice teachers. This chapter examines the effects of guided video-based teaching analysis to enhance teacher candidates' abilities to reflect on their own teaching practices in a graduate level social studies methods course. Participants were 20 graduate teacher candidates enrolled in a social studies methods course. Participants analyzed video-recorded lessons of other teachers' classroom instruction and that of their own recorded teaching and participated in guided discussions with peers and further reflections on their own teaching practice. The findings indicate that video-based teaching analysis led to improved learning skills among teacher candidates and facilitated deeper self-reflections of their own teaching.
A Program Planning and Evaluation Model for Training Teacher Educators on the Use of Technology in the Classroom
Authors: Mathende Allen M. , Chitiyo Jonathan
Published: May 2022

The chapter presents a program planning and evaluation model that can be used in training educators to integrate and increase the use of instructional technology in the classroom. The Instructional Technology Classroom Professional Development (ITCPD) Program Planning and Evaluation (PPE) model is a two-phase model that involves the initial training of trainers followed by the trainees transferring their knowledge to peer educators. Phase 1 is a modified interactive model with four components: needs assessment, program planning, program implementation, and evaluation. The center of the model simply represents the desired goal of planning the program. Phase 2 is presented through a logic model that has five components: assumptions, inputs, activities, output, and outcomes. The developed model's phases are interconnected as they feed from each other. The outcomes and needs assessment in one phase will inform the other. Goals and objectives are not fixed as such should be developed for every distinct cycle.

Authors: Ersoy Nazli
Published: May 2022

Sustainability basically means to continue, to maintain anything. The equivalent of sustainability on a firm basis is expressed as corporate sustainability. Corporate sustainability has three dimensions: economic, social, and environmental. This study aimed to use the systematic literature network analysis (SLNA) method to evaluate corporate sustainability on triple bottom line (TBL). In this context, SLNA on the development and evolution of the corporate sustainability issue was carried out with 1929 studies obtained from the Scopus database. VOSviewer software tool was used for constructing and visualizing bibliometric networks and Gephi software tool was used for network visualization. The studies on corporate sustainability, published in the period between 2016-2021, were mainly examined on the basis of year, journals, author details, keywords, and citation information parameters. This study is important as it is the first bibliometric study on corporate sustainability using SLNA.
