I Feel Myself in a Cage of Bird: Berber Female Students’ Self-Identification in the Algerian Society - A Phenomenological Study
Authors: Smaili Souad
Published: December 2018

Algeria is flavoured by a diversity of ethnicities and languages. The country is dominated by two ethnic groups: Arabs and Berbers. My concern falls upon identity negotiation within the latter group and exploring how women within the Berber community represent themselves and how the society perceives them. To answer this question, I explored the autobiographical stories of three Algerian female students who study English as a foreign language at Bejaia University, and who grew up amongst Berbers. They took part in a forum theatre course I ran at their University to explore EFL learner identity. Adopting an idiographic case-by-case phenomenological analysis to the written stories of these three students brought my attention into the self-image they gave to themselves to articulate their identity. This study also looked at the factor of power relations in their experiences drawing on Bourdieu’s perspective. The findings of this phenomenological analysis revealed the impact of culture and ethnic norms on these students’ s freedom, desires, and transitions in education. This impact was at some stage distinctive. I discuss in this further in this paper.
Cyber Crimes against Women: Qualification and Means
Authors: Boukemidja Nadjiba Badi
Published: December 2018

Crimes against women are constantly changing, especially with the emergence of electronic means to express them. Thus, violence against women using electronic means, has become a phenomenon with multifaceted manifestations and causes also multiple, it must be measured in all its aspects to combat it effectively. Of course, violence also takes place in the context of a relationship of power and domination, which explains why electronic violence predominates over female violence, which remains largely contained. This violence can be psychological, it consists in denigrating, humiliating, degrading the woman in her human value. It is manifested by verbal attacks, insults, threats, pressure, blackmail, control of activities, isolation of relatives, friends and the outside world. Also, verbal abuse in electronic form, which is the constant repetition of insulting words or insults to a woman. In mistreating the woman, the person behind the screen hurts her as much as if she hit her, because the woman in this case loses self-esteem. Verbal abuse can lead to a range of behavioral, emotional and physical problems. Violence in this context results in the use of hurtful or humiliating words, such as naming a person who is ridiculous, insulting the woman, making racist comments or incessant teasing. In addition to general harassment and sexual harassment more specifically, who may be subject to violence against women, by electronic means. The problem concerns the legal qualification of this kind of violence, what the old texts are enough, then they apply automatically; or the new texts are needed.
Emotional Health and Well-Being with Immigrant Families: A Literature Review of the Last 10 Years
Authors: Garcia Angelica Ojeda
Published: December 2018

The United States has reinforced its anti-immigrant reforms frequently. With these changes in the social and political context, they are a great challenge for this population. Although the immigrant tries to face them, they become toxic stressors for them. Therefore, interactions between parents-children and their family dynamics are affected by stressors associated with the migration process. One of the most worrying is immigrant's emotional health and well-being. There are international reports that refer to the high level of anxiety and depression experienced by immigrants and their families. This could increase the likelihood that children will become to intensify maladaptive behaviors. There are some theoretical models that point to the training of the practices of parents, inserted in the Theory of Learning Social Interaction (SIL) and in an ecological model to benefit the results of the child, the adolescent and the adult from different social roles. Therefore, the methodology about literature review could be one option to manage it. The objective was to identify the strategies reported in the literature to guide and strengthen the practices of the families of Latino immigrants (in particular Mexican families), encouraging a process of learning and training to cope them. This propose is one way to learn to parents, insert them into a community of cohesion, which can teach their children more effectively and they learn to manage the stress for acculturation. Unfortunately, this proposition is theoretical too, although it has evidence of the voices of different investigations done in the last 10 years.Keywords: Emotional-health, Well-being, Immigrants, Program, Model, Literature Review.
Turkey vs. China: Assessing Perceptions of the Economic, Political and Cultural Influence in Albania
Authors: Hoxha Erlis
Published: December 2018

China and Turkey are two countries exerting relevant global influence, both politically and economically. Their influence in Albania lies in several dimensions including economic, political and cultural dimensions. The purpose of the present study was to assess and compare perceptions of the economic, political and cultural influence of Turkey and China in Albania. It was hypothesized that Turkey would be rated higher across all dimensions. Methodology Participants were 80 young adults, all members of the political forum FRESSH. They were aged between 17 and 32 years old (mean age= 23.76 years, SD=3.67 years), 51.3% of the sample was female while 48.8% male. The instrument was a self-report questionnaire assessing attitudes of youth as regards the influence of non-European countries such as Russia Turkey and China in Albania. Results and conclusions: Politically engaged youth perceive a moderate influence from Turkey, mainly in the economic dimension, and less in the political or cultural dimensions. Although Turkish influence is perceived as stronger than Chinese influence, the two countries are not perceived as strong barriers to European Integration.
Exploring the Thermodynamic Criteria for Responsive Adsorption Processes
Authors: Evans Jack D. , Krause Simon , Kaskel Stefan , Sweatman Martin B. , Sarkisov Lev
Published: December 2018

We describe a general model to explore responsive adsorption processes in flexible porous materials.This model combines mean field formalism of the osmotic potential, classical density functional theory of adsorption in slit pore models and generic potential functions which represent the Helmholtz free energy landscape of a porous system.Using this model, we focus on recreating flexible adsorption phenomena observed in prototypical metal-organic frameworks, especially the recently discovered effect of negative gas adsorption (NGA).We identify the key characteristics required for the model to generate unusual adsorption processes and subsequently employ an extensive parametric study to outline conditions under which gate-opening and NGA are observed.This powerful approach will guide the design of responsive porous materials and the discovery of entirely new adsorption processes.
Re-Conceptualizing School Continuation & Re-Entry Policy for Young Mothers Living in an Urban Slum Context in Nairobi, Kenya: A Participatory Approach
Authors: Nyariro Milka Perez
Published: December 2018

This article discusses the barriers to school continuation for pregnant girls and young mothers living in low-income and marginalized contexts in Nairobi, Kenya. In the article, I suggest adopting a girl-centered framework in the policy formulation process (Moletsane, Mitchell, & Lewin, 2015). This perspective puts girls’ voices at the center of the policy formulation process to help address the persistent gender inequality in education through problem identification and an exploration of ways to combat the challenges faced by girls. The article, which analyzes studies of government’s education policies, is supported by data from my recent fieldwork investigating young mothers’ challenges to school continuation and re-entry in Kenya, within the context of Kenya’s re-entry and continuation policy effected in 1994. I discuss the school re-entry and continuationpolicies in low-income contexts using the framework of critical feminism. I argue that there is need to integrate multi-pronged, participatory and feminist frameworks to promote systematic government educational policy reforms to shore up gender equality (King & Winthrop, 2015).  To support this argument, I develop three main claims: (a) broad conceptualization of the causes of teenage pregnancy will promote the use of multi-pronged approaches to the design of school re-entry and continuation policies; (b) formulation and implementation of any robust policies on re-entry and continuation require strong integration of the voices, perspectives and the lived experiences of pregnant teenage girls and young mothers; and (c) the use of participatory visual methodologies will give voice to pregnant girls and young mothers, and promote policy dialogue while at the same time empowering them and spurring their agency to become part of policy formulation and implementation.
Educating Girls: Complexities of Informing Meaningful Social Change
Authors: Monkman Karen
Published: December 2018

Jackie Kirk devoted her career to trying to bridge the relationships among research, policy and practice for the purpose of making the world a better place for children, teachers, and communities. Reflecting her priorities, we examine herein how research, policy and practice interact to enable a robust and dynamic program that educates girls for purposes far beyond typical policy priorities of access and parity. To do so, we rely on interviews and focus group discussions that involved over 130 individuals who were involved with one girls’ education program in a remote region of a Southeast Asian country. Their narratives reveal that the program was flexible and responsive, yet guided by clear ideas about gender equity. This work is not prescriptive or predictable; it evolves through dynamic interactions. Global policy priorities of access and parity became means toward more important goals including community sustainability in the face of environmental and economic challenges. Structures that enabled this robust program included space, time, funding, and a dynamic conceptual lens.

Violence, Well-Being and Level of Participation in Formal Education among Adolescent Girls in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo: The Role of Child Marriage
Authors: Landis Debbie , Falb Kathryn , Michelis Ilaria , Bakomere Theresita , Stark Lindsay
Published: December 2018

Child marriage is a well-recognized barrier to education, and exposes girls to an increased risk of violence along with other negative health and developmental outcomes. A quantitative survey was conducted with girls selected from 14 communities in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Data from 350 girls (ages 13-14) were analyzed using mixed effects logistic regression models. Findings revealed that child marriage was associated with lower levels of participation in formal education as well as higher rates of physical, sexual and emotional violence. In particular, when adjusting for age and girls’ level of participation in formal education, being married was associated with more than a three-fold (OR: 3.23) increased risk of experiencing sexual violence (p<0.001). Married girls were also significantly more likely to affirm the belief that they would be forced to marry their perpetrator in the event that they were raped (p=0.017), suggesting that a portion of girls within this sample may have experienced this occurrence. Although higher levels of participation in formal education were associated with a reduced risk of violence among non-married girls, these differences were not observed for girls who were married. Findings reveal that child marriage has a significantly negative effect on the relationship between girls’ level of participation in formal education and experiences with violence. Taken cumulatively, findings from this study suggest an overall harmful relationship between child marriage and girls’ safety, education and well-being, and that efforts to prevent its occurrence in the DRC and beyond are urgently needed.

Institutions of Opportunity: Using Presidents’ Narratives to Re-tell the Story of Public Regional Universities
Authors: R McClure Kevin
Published: December 2018

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this qualitative study was to provide an appreciative re-telling of public regional universities (PRUs) to advance the study of postsecondary education.

Background: Journalists, scholars, and policymakers frequently describe PRUs from a deficit perspective. The dominant narrative about PRUs influences how we prepare new higher education professionals, where faculty and staff members opt to apply (and stay), where students choose to study, how policymakers craft legislation, and where donors decide to give money.

Methodology: Guided by principles of appreciative inquiry, the study features organizational narratives through interviews with 19 active presidents of PRUs.

Contribution: This study underscores what is working well at PRUs—what appreciative inquiry calls the “positive core” of organizations. This positive core can be mined to advance these organizations and improve how we study postsecondary education, prepare new higher education professionals, and craft legislation.

Findings: Presidents’ narratives revealed the positive core of public regional universities, which consisted of (1) serving marginalized student populations, (2) transforming lives through student success, (3) employing mission-driven teacher-scholars, (4) prioritizing low tuition and lean management, and (5) promoting the economic and cultural welfare of the region.

Recommendations for Practitioners: This study sheds light on the need to study PRUs in higher education administration graduate programs. Additionally, re-telling the story of PRUs can influence the ways in which higher education faculty members and staff think and communicate about their institutions by identifying possible strengths they can showcase and on which they can build.

Recommendation for Researchers: This study calls on researchers to critically evaluate the language they use to describe PRUs and the extent to which they perpetuate the dominant narrative about these institutions. It also recommends the use of appreciative inquiry as a way to understand and enhance postsecondary education institutions. Lastly, this study recommends additional scholarly attention on PRUs.

Impact on Society: This study can elevate societal awareness of PRUs and increase public support for them. Additionally, this study can help to identify strengths at PRUs that can be leveraged to enhance these institutions and benefit the communities they serve.

Future Research: This study reveals several fruitful avenues for future research, including how PRUs serve Minoritized, veteran, adult, low-income, and first-generation students, the ways in which these institutions contain costs and keep tuition low, and the role of PRUs in the geography of college opportunity.
THE PERFORMANCE OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION STUDENTS AND ANALYSIS OF SUBJECTS GRADES USING LATENT CLASS AND LATENT BUDGET MODELS
Authors: JELIHOVSCHI Enio Galinkin
Published: December 2018

Latent class analysis (LCA) is used to analyse data about performance of students. The original performance variables in the data set are course grade and approval status. However, those variables were not used directly, instead four new variables were calculated from those previous two, variables which are much more informative about the student performance. Coupled with another variable, say afirmative action, the results give light to an understanding about the performance of the divided by afirmative action, yes or no. Besides of showing the results it is also shown how the changing of the original variables by some suitable transformation of the original ones gives more reliable results. The main result is that armative action students have a lower performance than those coming from private schools. The paper also analyses the subjects grades using latent budget analysis (LBA), and it is found that the variables cited above have a real effect in characterizing the subjects. It is also shown that those results can be used in a process of evaluation on how the subject is being taught.
GOMPERTZ REGRESSION MODEL WITH GAMMA FRAILTY: A STUDY ON THE APPLICATION IN LUNG CANCER
Authors: TOMAZELLA Vera Lucia Damasceno , MILANI Eder Ângelo , DIAS Teresa Cristina Martins
Published: December 2018

Survival models with frailty are used when some variables are non-available to explain the occurrence time of an event of interest. This non-availability may be considered as a random effect related to unobserved covariates, or that cannot be measured, such as environmental or genetic factors. This paper focuses on the Gamma-Gompertz (denoted by G-G) model that is one of a class of models that investigate the effects of unobservable heterogeneity. We assume that the baseline mortality rate in the G-G model is the Gompertz model, in which mortality increases exponentially with age and the frailty is a fixed property of the individual, and the distribution of frailty is a gamma distribution. The proposed methodology uses the Laplace transform to find the unconditional survival function in the individual frailty. Estimation is based on maximum likelihood methods and this distribution is compared with its particular case. A simulation study examines the bias, the mean squared errors and the coverage probabilities considering various samples sizes and censored data. A real example with lung cancer data illustrates the applicability of the methodology, where we compared the G-G and without frailty models via criteria which select thebest fitted model to the data.
Emprendimiento, innovación y educación: trilogía esencial para el desarrollo
Authors: Sandoval Guerrero Lidia , Martínez Guevara Juan
Published: December 2018

Emprender es una actividad innata de los seres humanos cuando existen dificultades a ser resueltas —sean estas de carácter intrínseco o extrínseco—; esta situación motiva la formación de organizaciones empresariales que dinamizan la economía de un país y que se han convertido en su eje de desarrollo. En tal razón, la presente investigación es de carácter cualitativo; se ha realizado mediante el análisis documental de tres aspectos (emprendimiento, innovación y educación) con la finalidad de identificar la incidencia de esta última como un factor preponderante en la formación o desarrollo de capacidades emprendedoras en los estudiantes y futuros emprendedores, y de la importancia de la relación entre emprender e innovar como medios esenciales para mejorar las posibilidades de permanencia de este tipo de negocio. Los resultados de este estudio revelaron que la capacidad de emprendimiento a escala nacional es superior que en la región, pero la carencia de conocimiento, posibilidades de inversión y mantenimiento de los emprendimientos conducen al fracaso y la pérdida de capacidades de generación de ingresos importantes. Esta realidad es conocida por las entidades involucradas, aquellas que en los últimos años han dado paso a iniciativas que promuevan el desarrollo de capacidades específicas, así como de medios de asesoría empresarial y financiamiento.
The Presence of Methanol in Alcoholic Beverages Analyzed Using Qualitative Method
Authors: Navianti Diah , Tarmizi Muhammad Ihsan , Holifah Sinta Nur
Published: December 2018

An alcoholic beverage contains ethyl alcohol or ethanol (C2H5OH)that is produced from fermentation or distillation of sugars. In many cases, either producers or consumers add ethanol with denaturated alcohol containing methanol (CH3OH) as an additive. Methanol can cause blindness and induce comas, and it is deadly in high doses. This study aimed at investigating the presence of methanol or methyl alcohol in alcoholic beverages sold in Palembang, Indonesia. Seventeen samples collected from small shops and supermarkets were taken by accidental sampling. A chromotropic acid method was used to examine the presence of methanol. The results showed that there were 18% of the samples was positive, and 82% was negative. Based on alcohol content, the research showed that all (100%) samples of group A were negative; 33% of group B was positive, and 33% of group C was positive. The study indicated that methanol was still present in alcoholic drinks sold in markets. The government should inform the society that denatured alcohol contains methanol and, therefore, should not be feasible to consume.

Published: December 2018

Empreender não significa abrir uma empresa física. Empreendedorismo está ligado às ações do individuo, é ser empreendedor. É possuir características empreendedoras e mostrar para o mundo ideias inovadoras, que normalmente vão contra ao que já está estabelecido como algo fora do comum. Competições, jornadas, eventos, palestras, tudo isso é válido e está sendo usado como ferramenta para instigar o empreendedorismo nas pessoas, por instituições ou por grandes empreendedores de sucesso. Esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir do momento em que se percebeu que os acadêmicos do curso de administração da Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso Campus de Diamantino, pouco conheciam sobre ferramentas que estão sendo bastante utilizadas no mundo dos negócios atualmente. E então foi organizado um evento, “Jornada Empreendedora de Administração” para instigar o empreendedorismo aos acadêmicos através de atividades interativas e aplicabilidade da ferramenta Canvas, criada por Osterwalder em 2004, para desenvolver modelos de negócios inovadores. O evento foi desenhado com adaptações para a realidade do campus e realizado durante quatro noites. Os resultados foram que os acadêmicos conseguiram desenvolver negócios com diferenciais, e que o evento contribuiu tanto com o profissional quanto com o pessoal dos participantes.

O controle social é dado como a participação cidadã na gestão e fiscalização das ações da Administração Pública, possuindo garantia legal no Brasil. Os Conselhos de Saúde possuem caráter permanente e deliberativo, compostos por representantes do governo, prestadores de serviço, profissionais da área e usuários, atuando na formulação de estratégias e no controle da execução política na instância correspondente. O Estado Racional é sinônimo de Moderno, uma correspondência de superioridade de homens sobre outros, apoiada por meio da coação legítima. Uma burocracia com um funcionamento totalmente eficiente é um tipo ideal, uma estrutura ótima que deve ser almejada no âmbito estatal, sendo sua legitimação tida como dominação racional-legal. O objetivo desse trabalho é averiguar o nível de controle social praticado pelo Conselho Estadual de Saúde de Pernambuco em 2017 e relacioná-lo à teoria weberiana da burocracia. O procedimento metodológico foi composto por revisão bibliográfica e pesquisa documental através da análise das deliberações oficiais homologadas por resoluções e resumos de atas de reunião, uma vez que as primeiras são precursoras da materialização das atribuições regimentais na prática e as segundas são fontes de informação a respeito dos temas debatidos.

A responsabilidade social nas instituições do terceiro setor vem moldando-se conforme as necessidades de seu principal público, o que tem exigido dessas instituições, não apenas uma gestão capacitada e qualificada, mas uma gestão holística, que consiga de forma eficiente adequar-se aos recursos disponíveis.  Nesta condição, o objetivo é analisar o processo de gestão em uma instituição sem fins lucrativos, por meio dos indicadores de gestão, stakeholders e gestão de materiais, em uma instituição denominada de “Unidade Vida, na cidade de Rondonópolis, Estado de Mato Grosso, sob a percepção da gestora. Os procedimentos metodológicos foram feitos por meio da abordagem qualitativa com estudo de caso, com vista às observações não participativas e entrevistas junto a gestora da instituição. Os resultados mostram que a instituição mesmo agindo no empirismo vem atendendo a demanda com eficiência de forma satisfatória, visto que a gestora consegue administrar todos os recursos, garantindo assim, o bem-estar dos internos e suprindo as necessidades básicas dos mesmos.

O uso da fenomenologia sobre os estudos ainda é algo em debate, devido às adaptações necessárias do campo filosófico para o campo empírico e sua complexidade de informações e metodologias. Entretanto, não pode-se negar a riqueza desse método para investigações que buscam conhecer o aspecto subjetivo da relação entre os seres humanos e seus espaços vividos, ou seja, as essências dos fenômenos. Foi tratado inicialmente uma breve contextualização teórica sobre a fenomenologia, para posteriormente mostrar um panorama dos artigos que utilizaram esse método em suas pesquisas.  Este estudo objetivou descrever a fenomenologia na abordagem da pesquisa científica, fazendo um levantamento dos artigos encontrados na base da SPELL nos anos 2000 a 2018, enfatizando a importância deste método nos estudos organizacionais. Utilizou como procedimento metodológico pesquisas em referenciais bibliográficos e uma pesquisa no banco de dados da SPELL (Scientific Periodicals Eletronic Library) para o levantamento de artigos que continham, em seus resumos ou em seus títulos, a palavra “fenomenologia”. Foram encontrados 42 (quarenta e dois) artigos relacionados ao tema pesquisado, entretanto 01 (um) deles não seguiu os critérios analisados.

Abstrak. Dialek boleh dirujuk sebagai kepelbagaian bentuk bahasa yang dapat dibezakan melalui cara sebutan dan tatabahasanya. Oleh itu, kajian ini akan meninjau perspektif dan sikap individu terhadap dialek mereka. Di samping itu, kajian ini turut melihat sebab pemilihan dialek mengikut situasi dibantu dengan Teori Pemilihan Bahasa (1970) dan Teori Akomodasi Pertuturan (1973). Titik penelitian kajian ini adalah di Kota Samarahan, Sarawak (Desa Ilmu, Taman Samarindah dan Universiti Malaysia Sarawak). Satu pendekatan kualitatif dan kuantitatif telah dijalankan terhadap 30 orang responden yang telah dibahagikan kepada tiga kumpulan umur iaitu lingkungan 20 tahun ke bawah (kumpulan A), kumpulan umur dalam lingkungan 21-25 tahun (kumpulan B) dan kumpulan umur lingkungan 26 tahun ke atas (kumpulan C). Pembahagian peringkat umur mengikut kumpulan ini bertujuan untuk melihat variasi pemilihan dialek individu terbabit. Dapat dirumuskan bahawa, hubungan individu dan pemilihan dialek mereka disebabkan oleh sikap dan perasaan individu dalam mengadaptasikan perbualan harian mereka mengikut situasi.Kata kunci—individu; dialek; sikap; perasaan; adaptasiAbstract. Dialects can be referred to as diversity of language formats that can be distinguished through their pronunciation and grammar. Therefore, this study will examine individual perspectives and attitudes towards their dialect. In addition, this study also looked at why dialect selection was based on the situation assisted with the Language Choice Theory (1970) and Speech Accommodation Theory (1973). The research point of this study was in Samarahan, Sarawak (Desa Ilmu, Taman Samarindah and Universiti Malaysia Sarawak). A qualitative and quantitative approach was carried out on 30 respondents who were divided into three age groups ie 20 years and below (group A), age group within 21-25 years (group B) and age group 26 years and above (group C). The aggregation of ages according to this group aims to see the variation of individual dialect selection. It can be concluded that, individual relationships and their dialect selection are caused by individual attitudes and feelings in adapting their daily conversation to the situation.Keywords— individual; dialect; attitude; feeling; adaptation

Sensor maintenance is time-consuming and is a bottleneck for monitoring on-site wastewater treatment systems. Hence, we compare maintained and unmaintained pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) sensors to monitor the biological performance of a small-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR). We created soft sensors using engineered features: ammonium valley for pH, oxidation ramp for DO, and nitrite ramp for the ORP. We found that the pH soft sensors are able to reliably identify the completion of ammonium oxidation in the SBR’s effluent even without sensor maintenance for over a year. In contrast, the DO soft sensor using data from a maintained sensor showed slightly better detection performance than that using data from unmaintained sensors, as the DO soft sensor using maintained data is much less sensitive to the optimisation of cut-off frequency and slope tolerance than the soft sensor using unmaintained data. The nitrite ramp provided no useful information on the state of nitrite oxidation, so no comparison of maintained and unmaintained ORP sensors was possible in this case. We identified two hurdles when designing soft sensors for unmaintained sensors: i) Sensors’ type- and design-specific deterioration affects performance. ii) Feature engineering for soft sensors is sensor type specific, and the outcome is strongly influenced by operational parameters such as the aeration rate. In summary, we provide soft sensors that allow the performance of unstaffed small-scale SBRs to be monitored with unmaintained sensors and therefore the maintenance and reliability of OST systems to be optimised.

In this era of globalization, social media has become a trend especially among young people or teenagers. Lots of applications, especially social media used by teenagers. One of the most popular social media for teenagers is Instagram. Instagram is a social media application whose principle of application is visualization with photos or videos. Of course this is a hobby for teenagers, especially Indonesian teenagers today. As an Instagram user in the Indonesian territory, many users automatically include Indonesian language captions. However, at this time there are many accounts that provide descriptions of photos or videos (caption) using non-standard languages and are very destructive or damaging to the existence of the Indonesian language rules themselves. There are so many words that are very deviant from the original Indonesian language. Especially on accounts that already have a lot of followers. This will be easier to spread and easier to imitate. Thus the caption on Instagram is one of the reasons why slang or non-standard language can appear in Indonesian adolescents.
