Estudio de caso de la colaboración y liderazgo educativo en un liceo técnico-profesional en Chile: patrones, percepciones y contrastes entre docentes y directivos
Authors: Queupil Juan Pablo , Arroyo Dalku
Published: May 2024

El liderazgo y la colaboración educativa son destacados como fundamentales en la literatura. No obstante, la investigación de ese tema en la órbita de la educación vocacional o técnico-profesional (TP) es escasa. Este estudio de caso examina una serie de atributos de los actores en una escuela chilena (rol, género, posesión de posgrado, años en la escuela), a través de un análisis cuantitativo-descriptivo de la red colaborativa y las percepciones declaradas por dichos actores. Los resultados indican que, si bien la mayoría no sobrepasa los 5 años en el establecimiento, la escuela muestra una alta cohesión y una prominente valorización entre colegas. En cuanto al liderazgo, el equipo directivo está integrado mayoritariamente por varones y son aquellos con algún posgrado, siendo los más recurridos en la red colaborativa. Contrastando sus percepciones sobre liderazgo educativo, la visión de los docentes TP es menos optimista sobre lo actual, aunque más optimista sobre lo realizable. Lo anterior muestra la relevancia de sondear los contextos educativos TP, puesto que los patrones de colaboración y distribución del liderazgo estarían condicionados a las acciones de sus actores y a su opinión sobre lo que acontece, así como la proyección a futuro.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Mi Jung , Na Eun Ha
Published: May 2024

Objectives This study aimed to lay the groundwork for enhancing the ethical decision-making confidence of nurs-ing students by identifying factors influencing this competence.
Methods The study participants were 180 second-year nursing students from two universities in J Province. They were surveryed from January 5 to 15, 2024 using questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive sta-tistics in the SPSS/23.0 program, in addition to an Indepent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression.
Results The results are as follows. First, nursing students’ ethical decision-making confidence had a significant positive correlation with ethical values (r=.597, p<.001), ethical sensitivity (r=.589, p<.001), and nursing pro-fessionalism (r=.528, p<.001). Second, the factors influencing participants’ ethical decision-making confidence were ethical values (β=.332, p<.001), ethical sensitivity (β=.220, p=.009), nursing professionalism (β=.215, p=.003), and awareness of the Korean Nurses Code of Ethics (known) (β=.177, p=.040), in that order. These varia-bles explained 45.1% of nursing students’ ethical decision-making confidence.
Conclusions This study is meaningful as it identified factors that affect the ethical decision-making confidence of lower-grade nursing students. To improve lower-grade nursing students’ confidence in ethical decision-mak-ing, it is necessary to impart appropriate ethical values, improve ethical sensitivity and nursing professional in-tuition, and develop curriculum and programs for accurate recognition of the Korean Nurses Code of Ethics, tail-ored to the level of the target audience. Various learning methods that take these factors into account will be needed.

Methods To this end, the planning and diagnosis phase was carried out from February to March 2023, the full-scale research project was carried out from April to October, and analysis and generalization of research re-sults were conducted from November to February of the following year. After receiving two rounds of expert ad-vice, we modified and supplemented the ecological transition education program linked to ESG activities and or-ganically linked it with the ESG activities of Earth Environment (E) practice activities, Social Realization (S) practice activities, and Win-Win Cooperation (G) practice activities. An ecological conversion education program was developed.
Results The details of the research and development are (1) composition of the content system of ecological transformation education linked to ESG activities, (2) establishment of types of ecological transformation educa-tion linked to ESG activities, (3) nine programs of ecological transformation education linked to ESG activities, (4) The adequacy and effectiveness of developing a middle school ecological transition education program linking ESG activities was confirmed in five aspects, including the curriculum design content of ecological transition education linked to ESG activities and (5) the degree of ecological literacy cultivation.
Conclusions Firstly, it contributed to a certain extent in cultivating ecological literacy (capacity to practice global environment, competency to implement social implementation, and competency to practice win-win coopera-tion). Secondly, it was helpful in strengthening ecological transition education linked to the school curriculum. Thirdly, it helped create a school culture that reduces carbon emissions. Fourthly, along with awareness of eco-logical transition education, the practical capabilities of teachers and students were improved.
Evaluation of nutrient intake and breakfast quality according to breakfast type among Korean adolescents: Analysis of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey data (2016 2019)
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Park Hyejeong , Kye Seunghee
Published: May 2024

Objectives This study is to evaluate the quality of breakfast and compare the nutritional intake by breakfast type of Korean adolescents.
Methods This study analyzed data from 3,779 adolescents aged 12 to 18 who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Survey conducted from 2016 to 2019. Breakfast was classified as ‘rice’, ‘bread’, ‘noodles’, ‘cereal’, and ‘others’ based on the main food consumed. Differences in general characteristics by breakfast type were ana-lyzed, and nutrient intake and nutrient intake ratio relative to daily nutrient intake standards were used for the analysis. Additionally, the study derived the contribution rate and nutrient density of daily nutrient intake from breakfast.
Results Regarding the type of breakfast consumed by adolescents, rice ranked first at about 45%, followed by bread, cereal, and noodles. The breakfast skipping rate was higher among female adolescents at 43.03% com-pared to males at 35.57%. Rice and bread tended to account for most of the energy and protein intake, and cereals accounted for the highest daily intake of vitamins and minerals. The contribution rate of breakfast to daily energy intake was about 23-24% for rice and noodles, about 18% for bread, and about 14% for cereal.
Conclusions The results of this study suggest that rice is an excellent breakfast diet for Korean adolescents. However, the high rate of breakfast skipping among adolescents suggests the need for efficient and continuous nutritional education about regular breakfast.
A Case Study on the Design and Operation of Korean Language Classes Based on SOC Theory: For Japanese elderly learners
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kang Yong Hee , Seo Jinsuk
Published: May 2024

Objectives This study aims to design and implement a Korean language course applying the Selection, Optimization, and Compensation (SOC) theory for Japanese elderly learners, and to explore the effectiveness of this instructional approach.
Methods For this purpose, Korean language classes were designed and conducted, based on a 5-session course, targeting five elderly learners residing in Tokyo, Japan. To assess the outcomes of class operation, learner inter-views were conducted and qualitatively analyzed.
Results Analysis results showed several key findings. Firstly, allowing learners to choose topics they are genuinely interested in led to higher satisfaction levels among learners. Secondly, adjusting the level and scope of learning activities to match the learners' proficiency level during class design and operation resulted in increased sat-isfaction with the learning process. Thirdly, using familiar and comfortable tools to assist learners' memory and fa-cilitate information retrieval also contributed to higher satisfaction with the learning process. Fourthly, learners ex-pressed satisfaction with Korean language classes applying the theory of Selection-Optimization-Compensation (SOC), noting minimal physical exertion and the possibility of review. Lastly, by completing learning activities, learners not only experienced psychological satisfaction but also a sense of achievement in learning.
Conclusions It was confirmed that Korean language classes applying the theory of Selection-Optimization- Compensation(SOC) improved the learning autonomy, interest, and satisfaction of elderly learners.This study contributes by addressing Korean language learning for elderly learners aged 70 and above, a topic not extensively explored in Korean language education research. Furthermore, it provides foundational data for designing and op-erating Korean language classes for elderly learners based on SOC theory.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Seung-hyeong , Baek Eun-Ju
Published: May 2024

Objectives This study aims to analyze the determinants of dropout rates at a rural public university systematically. The study aims to contribute to the formulation of effective policies to reduce dropout rates.
Methods Lasso regression was chosen as the research method for this study because it is suitable for selecting important variables in complex data sets.
Results The analysis of the results indicates that the most decisive factor significantly influencing the dropout rate is being ‘not enrolled in a university.’ Additionally, research funding per full-time faculty member, which reflects the research environment of the university, was also found to be an important factor.
Conclusions To address the issue of student dropout, the study recommends that universities create policies to encourage students to persist in their studies and improve the quality of the research environment. The study also provides practical directions for policy makers and educational planners to reduce dropout rates by enhancing stu-dent support and improving the quality of education.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kwon Chae-Ri , Hong Hoo-Jo
Published: May 2024

Objectives The purposes of this study is to develop career-differentiated English subject syllabus necessary to implement a career-differentiated curriculum in academic high school.
Methods To achieve this, the researcher presented a career-differentiated design proposal for English subjects to 130 teachers who specialized in English or educational curriculum. The approach involved obtaining feedback from them and tentatively finalizing the design proposal based on their opinions.
Results This study drew the following conclusions. Firstly, it is necessary to differentiate English subject according to career course and as the grade goes up, English subject can be further differentiated according to the courses that require specialization. Secondly, English subject should be differentiated according to its level and function. Lastly, in terms of course completion system, adopting large-scale unit system will be able the career-differ-entiated English curriculum to operate well. Based on these results, English subject syllabuses were developed for literacy course, science course, art course, and athletics course.
Conclusions The developed career-differentiated English subject syllabus will provide students with learning op-portunities that align with their diverse career inclinations. Students will have the chance to experience in-depth learning tailored to the characteristics of English curriculum subjects, enabling them to make informed decisions about their career paths through the selection and completion of English courses.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Shin Min-Ju
Published: May 2024

Objectives This study sought to find out what experiences five college students had through an autobiography writing program for the elderly called 『Seniors Making Books』, which was planned and implemented directly for six elderly people, and what the meaning of that experience was.
Methods This study plans and conducts a 7-session elderly autobiography writing program at a senior welfare center in City B from September 2 to December 20, 2023, and examines the meaning of the process and experi-ence of creating an autobiography as the final result and participating in the program through an exhibition. This is a qualitative case study in which data was collected and analyzed through in-depth interviews about the mean-ing of the experience.
Results As a result of the study, the autobiography writing program conducted by college students for the elderly was, first, experienced a ‘change in prejudice and perception of the elderly’ that had been held against the elderly, and second, ‘a new challenge’ while planning and implementing the program with friends in the same major. The result was ‘improved confidence through’ and thirdly, although it was a short period of time, it gave the meaning of ‘the importance of relationships through meeting’.
Conclusions In conclusion, the autobiography writing program for the elderly allowed the university students and the elderly participants to realize the meaning of time travel where they were happy together, not alone, through time travel to the past, present, and future.
The Relationships between Creative Self-Efficacy, Emotion Regulation, and Creative Achievement: Conditional Indirect Effects of Dance Experience
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Dae won
Published: May 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the indirect effects of creative self-efficacy on creative ach-ievement through emotion regulation strategies in dance majors, and to examine whether the effectiveness of emotion regulation strategies in mediating the relationship between creative self-efficacy and creative achieve-ment varies by dance experience level.
Methods A total of 434 dance majors (46 males, 388 females, mean dance experience level: 7.35±3.79 years) re-sponded to questionnaires measuring creative self-efficacy, emotion regulation strategies, and creative achieve-ment, and the data were processed through mediation analysis and controlled mediation analysis using PROCESS version 4.0 for SPSS (Hayes, 2018).
Results Creative self-efficacy positively influenced creative achievement directly as well as through emotion reg-ulation strategies. Furthermore, the effect of emotion regulation strategies on mediating the positive relationship between creative self-efficacy and creative achievement was stronger when the level of creative self-efficacy was high but the level of dance experience was low. We also found that the emotion regulation strategies that me-diate the positive relationship between creative self-efficacy and creative achievement are stronger when crea-tive self-efficacy is high but dance experience is low, and that the effect of creative self-efficacy on creative ach-ievement is stronger when college students with low creative self-efficacy have high dance experience.
Conclusions The results suggest that it is important for college students majoring in dance to develop the ability to effectively manage their emotional experiences in order to be confident in their ability to effectively generate and perform creative ideas in order to solve problems and achieve goals during creative activities.
An Empirical Study on the Relationship between Learning Engagement and Student Satisfaction in Contactless Online Classes: Focusing on NAVER Connect Foundation's Edwith and Boost Courses
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Seung-hyeo , Baek Eun-Ju
Published: May 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the relationship between learning engagement and student satisfaction in a contactless online class environment.
Methods The study employed regression analysis and text-based network analysis as research methods. Regression analysis was used to quantitatively measure the direct impact of learning engagement factors on stu-dent satisfaction. Text-based network analysis was used to explore the indirect effects on satisfaction by identify-ing information flow and centrality within the learning community.
Results The analysis revealed a positive correlation between course completion rates and the frequency of the keyword ‘hard work’ in lecture comments, as well as the number of completed quiz submissions. However, the number of lectures and viewing time did not have a significant impact. The network analysis indicated that key-words such as ‘fun,’ ‘informative,’ ‘quiz,’ and ‘completion’ were central, suggesting that learner interaction is a crucial factor in satisfaction.
Conclusions In conclusion, this study suggests that promoting interaction among learners and encouraging their active participation in course design can improve the efficiency and satisfaction of virtual classes. The empirical data provided here is expected to contribute to the improvement of educational technology.

Este artigo é parte da pesquisa de mestrado Hora-atividade dos/as professores/as dos Anos Iniciais: contributos para a formação continuada. Objetivou-se conhecer o que realizam os/as professores/as na hora-atividade e suas necessidades formativas. Participaram 15 professores/as dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, da Rede Municipal de Educação e Cultura de Antônio Carlos/SC. Desenvolvida na abordagem qualitativa, recorreu a exame documental, levantamento bibliográfico e questionário, com dados trabalhados à luz da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados demonstram a sobrecarga docente na hora-atividade com tarefas rotineiras e burocratizantes, demandadas pela gestão da escola e Secretaria Municipal de Educação, não possibilitando encontros para dialogar com o coletivo, tampouco permitindo formação continuada em serviço fora da escola. Constatou-se que esses/as professores/as não são sindicalizados/as, corroborando o desmonte dos direitos trabalhistas conquistados pela classe trabalhadora do magistério.
Problematizações do Programa Nacional de Escolas Cívico-Militares
Authors: Guedes Gilmar Barbosa , Costa Ricaline da , Medeiros Neta Olivia Morais de
Published: May 2024

O artigo analisa as diretrizes regulatórias do governo federal para a implantação do Programa Nacional das Escolas Cívico-Militares – Pecim, detendo-se em seu arcabouço legal-normativo para ‘promover a melhoria na qualidade da educação básica do país’, através de ‘parcerias’, ‘maior vínculo’ entre gestores/as, professores/as, militares, estudantes e até mesmo pais/mães e responsáveis. Numa diretiva dialética materialista histórica, as análises se concentraram na revisão bibliográfica e documental. As concepções e a regulação do Pecim são excludentes, aplicáveis a escolas públicas nas periferias, sendo que as tendências ultraconservadoras e ultraliberais desse projeto fortalecem o conflito entre o interesse público e o privado na esfera educacional e, principalmente, a quebra do princípio da gestão democrática.
Educação democrática e equidade de gênero
Authors: Seffner Fernando , Penna Fernando
Published: May 2024

O artigo explora o conceito de educação democrática a partir da tradição de escritos sobre democracia, cultura escolar e movimentos das culturas juvenis. O recorte temporal no período pós Constituição Federal de 1988 enfatiza os enfrentamentos dos anos 2000 no Brasil, envolvendo ataques à liberdade de ensinar, como ‘escola sem partido’ e denúncia de uma ‘ideologia de gênero’. Estabelece diálogos entre a educação democrática e a equidade de gênero na cultura escolar, investigando situações do ensino de História, campo de atuação dos autores. A preocupação com uma educação democrática é valorizada como estratégia em movimento dentro das escolas, fruto de embates entre marcadores sociais de diferença e preocupações das culturas juvenis, envolvendo disputas políticas, éticas, estéticas e cognitivas. Trata-se de um frutífero campo para pensar a formação dos/das estudantes.

Probing a planet from the subsurface to the atmosphere with infrasound data
Authors: Froment Marouchka , Brissaud Quentin , Näsholm Sven Peter , Solberg Celine M , Kaschwich Tina , Turquet Antoine
Published: May 2024

The analysis of infrasound waves has a significant potential for retrieving a range of geophysical parameters across various scales, such as atmospheric structures, characteristics of surface and buried sources, and seismic velocity structures. This potential was recently showcased in infrasound studies that illustrated the ability to retrieve Earth’s shallow velocities and Mars’ near-surface atmospheric winds from remote acoustic observations. Consequently, infrasound is becoming an essential component of planetary missions, providing insights into the interiors and atmospheres of other terrestrial planets in the solar system. However, utilizing infrasound data requires efficient forward wave simulation techniques and an accurate description of waveform sensitivity to source and medium parameters. Even under ideal conditions, many inverse problems associated with infrasound-based probing are inherently ill-posed, necessitating regularization or other approaches to ensure reliable results. In this contribution, we highlight recent seismo-acoustic research findings, addressing atmospheric probing at both smaller and global scales, as well as innovative methods to accelerate infrasonic wave propagation modeling.
Do erupting maxillary canines resorb adjacent teeth? A study focusing both on the ipsilateral and contralateral sides among individuals with unilaterally impacted canines
Authors: Le Ven Mélanie , Rafflenbeul Frédéric , Gros Catherine-Isabelle , Lefebvre François , Bolender Yves
Published: May 2024

Objectives

To determine the prevalence of root resorption of teeth adjacent to permanent maxillary canines on both sides, by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), in pretreatment adolescent subjects with unilaterally impacted maxillary canines, and to define predictive factors for the root resorption.

Materials and Methods

This retrospective sample included 76 adolescents (38 boys, 38 girls, mean age 12.3 ± 2.1 years; range 8–17 years) who had CBCT after detection of a unilateral impacted maxillary canine before any active orthodontic treatment. Both ipsilateral and contralateral sides were examined, and 14 qualitative and quantitative variables were collected. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and multiple logistic regression was used to predict root resorption.

Results

On the impaction side, 57.9% of canines resorbed at least one adjacent tooth compared with 13.2% on the contralateral side (P < .001). On the impaction side, resorption was slight in 59.6%, moderate in 5.8%, and severe in 34.6% of the cases. On the contralateral side, resorption was slight in 91.7%, moderate in 0%, and severe in 8.3% of the cases. On both sides, upper lateral incisors were the teeth most frequently resorbed, followed by the upper first premolars and upper central incisors. The presence of contact between the canine and the adjacent roots was the only statistically significant risk factor for resorption for both ipsilateral and contralateral sides.

Conclusions

Orthodontists should look for root resorption on both sides in cases of unilaterally impacted maxillary canines.
Efficacy of Maxillary Buccal Infiltration of Articaine for Palatal Anesthesia: A Prospective, Randomized, Crossover Study
Authors: Woo Alexandra , Nusstein John , Drum Melissa , Fowler Sara , Reader Al , Ni Ai
Published: May 2024

Objective

Although there are conflicting data, several authors have proposed that articaine’s molecular properties suggest improved perfusion capabilities over other amide anesthetics. The purpose of this prospective, randomized, crossover study was to evaluate the anesthetic efficacy of palatal soft-tissue anesthesia following a buccal infiltration of 1.8 and 3.6 mL of 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine.

Methods

One hundred eighteen adults received 1.8 or 3.6 mL of 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine as a buccal infiltration of the maxillary first molar at 2 separate appointments. Palatal soft-tissue anesthesia was evaluated with a dental explorer. Anesthetic success was defined as the absence of pain with an explorer stick. For the subjects who achieved palatal anesthesia, mapping was conducted over 70 minutes, and the overall area of palatal anesthesia was calculated. The data were analyzed using chi-square tests.

Results

The highest percentage of palatal anesthetic success was 20% for the 1.8-mL volume and 32% for the 3.6-mL volume both at 30 minutes. A statistically significant difference between the 1.8- and 3.6-mL volumes was seen at 40 minutes. There was high variability in area measurements for subjects who achieved palatal anesthesia. The highest area measurements were 92 mm2 for the 1.8-mL volume at 20 minutes and 113 mm2 for the 3.6-mL volume at 10 minutes.

Conclusion

Because of the low success rates (20%–32%) and the high variability of the area anesthetized for the subjects who achieved palatal anesthesia, the clinical efficacy of 1.8 or 3.6 mL of articaine via buccal infiltration for palatal anesthesia is of questionable value.
Three Cases of Persistent Laryngeal Edema Postradiation Therapy
Authors: Ito Takaya , Wakita Ryo , Ichihashi Yukiko , Kutsumizu Chihiro , Suzuki Chihiro , Shimada Naomi , Maeda Shigeru
Published: May 2024

Radiation therapy (RT) for head and neck cancer, which has made remarkable progress in recent years, is one of the main treatment modalities because it can preserve organ function and morphology after treatment. However, while RT is widely used, complications have been reported, especially laryngeal edema, which can be an airway management problem during general anesthesia. Of the 3 cases of RT-induced laryngeal edema presented here, the first developed 4 days post-RT, the second manifested signs and symptoms associated with laryngeal edema after RT performed 4 years and 4 months previously, and the third exhibited severe laryngeal edema over a decade post-RT despite the absence of clinical signs and symptoms. Patients with a previous history of RT involving the head and neck region may encounter challenges in airway management due to laryngeal edema. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the airway preoperatively and devise a comprehensive airway management plan that encompasses various devices and techniques.

Este trabalho tem o objetivo de refletir se o Projeto Pedagógico de Curso do Proeja, ofertado no Instituto Federal Catarinense (IFC) Campus Camboriú, enquadra-se ou não em uma proposta de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) na perspectiva da Educação Inclusiva. Nesse sentido, a compreensão dos dados fundamenta-se nos pressupostos da abordagem qualitativa (Chizzotti, 2011) e na base técnico-metodológica da análise documental (Gil, 2002). Autores como Silva (2000), Contini (2008) e Ropoli et al. (2010) auxiliam-nos nas reflexões sobre essa temática. Os resultados mostram que o documento apresenta um movimento em favor do cumprimento das políticas de inclusão, mas precisa avançar em questões sobre as práticas e estratégias de ensino-aprendizagem dentro das proposições da Educação Inclusiva.

Back Reaction of the Electromagnetic Radiation and the Local Inertial Frame
Authors: Shigemoto Kazuyasu
Published: May 2024

We discuss on the problem of the electromagnetic radiation from the accelerated charged particle and the back reaction of that. The free-falling charged particle radiates the electromagnetic wave. The charged particle on the surface of the earth does not radiate the electromagnetic wave. The existence or the non-existence of the electromagnetic radiation from the charged particle and the back reaction of that is independent of the observer, which is consistent with the energy conservation. A paradox comes from combining this phenomenon with the equivalence principle in the theory of the general relativity. We consider the Hawking effect in the context of this paradox. We give our resolution on this paradox.

For surface water bodies, the main environmental objectives set out in the Water Framework Directive are aimed at achieving the good ecological status, respectively the good potential for heavily modified and artificial water bodies. The Banat River Basin Management Plan 2016-2021 identified several significant pressures at watercourses level, such as Bega Veche, which lead to the failure to achieve these objectives. This paper presents the proposed green measures which have a beneficial role from a biological and ecological point of view, which involve natural water retention measures and renaturation of water streams banks, including measures to improve the retention capacity at catchment level.

The Eastern Cape Province is a drought-prone area and it had been impacted by water service delivery problems for several decades. At the same time, there have been widespread instances of the need to supply water from alternative potable sources as to meet the drinking water demand of the population. Further to this point, there is an ongoing need to collect and evaluate water quality data from drought-affected areas in the Eastern Cape. In the current study, the authors seek to achieve two aims. Firstly, there is a need to conduct an investigation of the potable water quality from the local municipalities in the Eastern Cape where such investigations have not been common recently. Secondly, the authors seek to conduct an investigation into the carbon footprint of provision of alternative bottled water into a local municipality in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Turbidity, pH and presence/levels of faecal contamination of drinking water were measured. In addition, the carbon footprint of the supply of bottled water was estimated for road transport of 5 litre bottles. Results indicate that microbial water quality is a problem and there is finite, but significant carbon dioxide emissions due to supply of alternative water sources. There is significant carbon footprint of the shipping of bottled water into the Eastern Cape Province, should the municipal water supply break down completely. The study results point to the need to monitor and treat the alternative sources of potable water in the study area. This is necessary protect human health and environment.
perspectiva tecnológica da sustentabilidade ambiental
Authors: Grazziano Raphael
Published: May 2024

No fim dos anos 1980, consolida-se o discurso atualmente ainda hegemônico a respeito da crise ambiental, por meio da categoria de “sustentabilidade”. Elaborada no relatório Brundtland, a sustentabilidade tem como corolário o avanço tecnológico como a principal solução para os problemas ecológicos, pois estratégias inovadoras permitiriam uma superação dos impasses de exploração do ambiente e resultariam inclusive em desenvolvimento social. Para investigar como uma posição semelhante foi produzida na arquitetura, elegemos um caso específico, dos projetos e escritos de Richard Buckminster Fuller, apontando ali não só um elo inesperado entre tendências ditas low e high tech na arquitetura, mas também como sua obra foi apropriada de modos distintos em diferentes momentos históricos. Após analisar a relação ambígua de Fuller com a técnica industrial, e o uso que seus contemporâneos lhe deram, veremos também como ela está presente na arquitetura dos anos 2000, tomando para isso a obra da Foster+Partners.

Published: May 2024

O presente texto e parte de uma pesquisa mais ampla destinada a decifrar arquiteturas e espaços urbanos que tem o desemparo e o mal‑estar como impulso criador. Busca‑se neste ensaio delinear uma narrativa que acolha esses fenômenos, analisando estudos e autores que trabalham com chaves interpretativas afins. Inicialmente foram tratados os conceitos de Unheimlich (inquitetante) e Unbehagen (mal‑estar) de Sigmund Freud. O suporte teórico momentâneo ai encontrado permitiu também estabelecer certa cumplicidade com algumas inquietacoes de Anthony Vidler, expostas em seus livros The Architectural Uncanny e Warped Spaces. Por fim, foram incluídas as constelações e demais considerações epistemológicas e metodológicas de Walter Benjamin, mais especificamente aquelas tratadas no estudo sobre o Barroco Alemão.

As imagens fotográficas costumam mostrar um único instante, um fragmento temporal ínfimo diante dos inúmeros estados que a imagem assume com o passar do tempo, embora a paisagem urbana compreenda relações espaço‑temporais dinâmicas. Considerando isso, este trabalho tem como tema o estudo de imagens capturadas através de fotografia sequencial e agrupadas por meio de fotomontagem, criando novas imagens, descrevendo mudanças na paisagem urbana. Sendo assim, o objetivo geral do artigo e mostrar, representar e (re)criar a dinâmica da paisagem através de imagens fotográficas, experimentando e discutindo possibilidades, buscando aproximar representação e realidade, produzindo novas realidades e percepções. O método utilizado foi o da cartografia, focando a investigação no processo, pressupondo que o ato de conhecer e criador da realidade e questionando o paradigma da representação. Os estudos teóricos e exploratórios indicam que imagens criadas através da combinação entre fotografia sequencial e fotomontagem permitem expandir a dimensão temporal da fotografia e possuem potencial artístico e criativo mais marcante que imagens convencionais. Além disso, essas imagens também podem ser mais representativas, em função da possibilidade de capturar processos e relações, além de estados e objetos, relacionando o conteúdo da imagem com a multiplicidade de fragmentos espaço‑temporais da paisagem urbana.

Anaerobic digestion is a demanding process, due to the large number of process and environmental factors that affect it. Many years of research of the various parameters have made it possible to optimise the process to obtain the maximum amount of biogas and methane contained in it, and this provides energy and environmental benefits. The article deals extensively with the operation of agricultural biogas plants, using the example of a plant that faces numerous operational problems. In order to identify the negative effects on energy yield and the equipment operating in the system, the substrate was examined, the data on its operation analysed, and solutions were proposed that should be taken into account in the further operation of the biogas plant. The analysis showed a good biogas yield from beet pulp of 563 dm3∙kg−1 of TS (total solid) and an average methane yield of 58%. With the analysis presented, it was possible to identify some operational problems. The biogas yield study also highlighted some errors made at the plant design stage. The most important of these is the use of an inappropriate organic matter loading factor for the digester, which leads to acidification of the contents and degradation of the methanogenic microorganism cultures.

Evapotranspiration is the key and predominant component of the water balance in wetlands. Direct evapotranspiration measurements are challenging in wetlands due to their remoteness and high surface water level. This article describes the actual (ETa and reference evapotranspiration (ET0) from a cultivated wet meadow located in the Biebrza National Park – the largest national park in north-east Poland, Central Europe. The data were sourced from a micrometeorological station equipped with an eddy covariance system to measure heat and vapour fluxes and such meteorological elements as radiation balance components, air temperature and humidity. The values of directly measured ETa were presented daily in the context of available energy and ET0. Daily sums of ETa ranged from below 0.2 mm in winter to 6.5 mm in summer. The share of daily sums of ETa in the ET0 usually ranged from 50 to 60%, with extreme values from 10 to 170%. Aside from giving more insight into Biebrza wetlands’ functioning, the actual data produced in this study may be used instead of indirect methods, which were used the most in modelling wetlands areas.

Coastal wetlands are transitional ecosystems between land and sea. Participants of citizen science programs have detected frequent floods in wetlands, as well as small pools that appear and then disappear. Considering that it is not clear whether their main hydrologic drivers are of marine or continental origin, we studied the El Culebrón wetland located in the Chilean semi-arid zone. El Culebrón is strongly influenced by extreme rain events. This wetland also experiences seasonal changes in its water stage (WS). A high mean sea level agreed with 41% of the WS rises. High intensity storm surges coincided with 53% of WS peaks. A small tsunami in 2022 impacted the WS, and another very intense tsunami flooded it in 2015. An apparent diurnal cycle in the WS was discarded due to an instrumental artifact. The combination of the aforementioned factors provided an explanation for 91% of the WS rises. The probable and novel mechanism for sea level and storm surge influence on WS is the formation of a sand barrier between the coastal lagoon and the sea. As a whole, El Culebrón receives varied influences from both the sea and the mainland, but it seems to be more dependent on freshwater sources.
New Thoughts on Research Framework for Integrating Leader Voice-Taking Behavior: A Literature Review Based Study

Published: May 2024

Objective: The purpose of this study is to conduct a relatively comprehensive literature review with leader voice-taking behavior as the core dimension in order to construct a logical quantitative research framework for studying organizational innovation in the hospitality industry.
 
Theoretical Framework: The framework can be used to guide the optimization of management processes in Chinese hospitality industry, especially in response to corporate innovation problems caused by leaders who do not pay attention to the voices of their front-line employees (FLEs).
 
Method: This study used a theoretical integration of a conventional review of literature textual research, drawing on persuasion theory, social information processing theory, and affective event theory to explain a model of leader voice-taking behavior.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings of this paper more systematically integrates the logical relationships between the dimensions related to leader voice-taking behavior, including message factors (promotive voice, prohibitive voice, issue importance, voice directness), source factors (employee’s voice efficacy, value congruence, employee loyalty, employee expertise) and context factors (diversity, LMX) as predictable antecedents of leader voice-taking behavior. On the other hand, FOCC and affective factors (positive emotions, relational energy) are potentially mediating the relationship between leader discourse behavior and service innovation in FLEs.
 
Research Implications: This study provides theoretical support for leadership-employee related behavioral theories, emphasizes the role of voice-taking behavior in corporate innovation, and is instructive for quantitative analysis of Chinese hospitality industry related to this type of research.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature review by leader voice-taking behavior. This is academically capable of guiding other related research and has a strong academic value.
INFLATION AS A MODERATOR OF FINANCIAL RATIOS AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE IN MANUFACTURING COMPANIES
Authors: Lasar Hilary , Jonnardi Jonnardi
Published: May 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa pengaruh rasio keuangan, seperti tangibility, likuiditas, pertumbuhan aset, dan volatilitas laba terhadap struktur modal dengan tingkat inflasi industri sebagai pemoderasi. Objek penelitian ini adalah perusahaan manufaktur yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia dari tahun 2014 sampai dengan 2019. Jumlah sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 122 perusahaan yang diperoleh menggunakan purposive sampling. Analisis data penelitian menggunakan uji regresi linier berganda dengan menggunakan E-Views versi 10. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tangibility, likuiditas, pertumbuhan aset, volatilitas laba dan tingkat inflasi tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap struktur modal. Hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukkan tingkat inflasi sebagai pemoderasi memperlemah hubungan likuiditas terhadap struktur modal. Hal tersebut dikarenakan jika terjadi inflasi pada suatu negara, maka akan berdampak pada melemahnya ekonomi suatu negara dan dapat menyebabkan naiknya tingkat suku bunga. Oleh karena itu, perusahaan cenderung menghindari hutang karena tingginya bunga yang harus dibayarkan.
 
This research aims to analyze the influence of financial ratios, such as tangibility, liquidity, assets growth, and earnings volatility on capital structure with inflation rate as the moderation variable. The research object is manufacturing companies listed on Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2014 to 2019. The number of samples in this research was 122 companies selected with purposive sampling. Data analysis in this research used multiple regression linear analysis processed using E-Views version 10. The result of this research shows that tangibility, liquidity, assets growth, earnings volatility and inflation rate have no significant effect on capital structure. The results of this study also show that the inflation rate as a moderator weakens the relationship between liquidity and capital structure. This is because if inflation occurs in a country, it will have an impact on the weakening of a country's economy and can cause an increase in interest rates. Therefore, companies tend to avoid debt because of the high interest that must be paid.
