Is the perception of leaving the job of the lecturers influenced by quality work of life?
Authors: Kasih Julianti , Zakaria Teddy Marcus
Published: November 2021

We know the lecturer workforce turnover for a university has considerable trouble. The lecturers' rapid turnover will influence the teaching process's stability. To shorten the lecturer workforce's turnover, the university desires to have an effort to enhance the quality of the lecturers' work-life. This research decides to create life's variables, which is a variables aspect for Maranatha Christian University lecturers to resign from their jobs. Using a survey method to get the data, it distributed questionnaires to 150 lecturers from Maranatha Christian University. The data collected were treated using Amos 22 software. The supervision style and job satisfaction variables' correlation results showed 5.33 and the relationship between salary allowances and supervision style showed a precise result. The conclusion obtained for Maranatha Christian University's lecturers, the quality of work-life, appears not instantly to touch lecturers' desire to move their jobs. However, the supervision and calculation of allowance salaries directly affect job satisfaction, although this relationship realistic presently affects lecturers to drop their jobs. The purpose of this research is to provide information for Maranatha Christian University. This research aims to scale down the lecturers' workforce turnover by increasing the quality work of life variables.
Impact of the edTPA on teacher candidates’ perceptions of preparedness to teach
Authors:   1University of Bridgeport.
Published: November 2021

This longitudinal case study conducted at a private University in the northeastern United States explored the impact of the edTPA assessment and preparation process as an embedded component of the University’s educator preparation program. The study tracked 59 graduate level candidates from entry into the program through candidate licensure. The researchers examined the impact of the edTPA preparation process on teacher candidates’ perceptions of their readiness to teach in comparison to their actual readiness to teach as indicated by their edTPA portfolio passing score. The University’s School of Education has an estimated 30% ethnic diversity population, thus a second research question compared perceptions of readiness to teach of candidates of color to those of Caucasian peers. Framed by Bandura’s (1977) self-efficacy theory, this study contributes to the research on the edTPA as an efficacious and inclusive evaluation tool, particularly within diverse schools of education.

The first report of patients with the SARS-CoV-2 was in Wuhan on December 2019. In few months the virus was disseminated around the world and has caused millions of deaths. A striking and recurrent finding was the more severe disease and increased numbers of fatal cases in old adults. Vaccines were developed in a record period of time and since then a massive program of vaccination has been installed in several countries. Nevertheless, the decrease in the levels of specific antibody after six months of the first dose in young adults and the reports of fatal cases in vaccinated older patients have suggested that a 3rd dose of vaccine is required. From the first report until now it has been clear that the immune system plays an important role in the disease development and patient outcome. Our group showed recently that healthy old individuals present changes in the immune system that have been reported as immunosenescence and inflammageing. Therefore, our aim was to correlate the findings obtained in healthy old adults with cases of COVID-19 from literature in order to identify possible common factors. The further understanding of how the changes occurring in the immune system during the ageing process can affect the response to SARS-CoV-2 virus could contribute for the development of vaccines or more specific therapies to the aged population.

Published: November 2021

This study focused on teachers’ perception for integrating educational robots into learning and the feedback of teachers and students who used an education robot prototype as a part of learning. Data were collected from 510 primary school teachers who were used in a confirmatory analysis of factor model. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) indicated a good fit with a six-factor model in the observed data, which could be presented through six dimensions of robotic education quality, including social interaction, cognitive function, teaching method, learner characteristics, main features, and content. The prototype-testing phase was carried out using 5th grade students at a primary school in Thailand. The robot was tested for 10 hours, which included 20 students participating in the focus group. The research results showed that integrating the six dimensions of robotic education into the educational robot prototype resulted in a strong positive improvement in the focus groups learners’ behavior and supported the instructors during the learning process. In contrast, some teachers lacked experience and confidence with robots integrated with LMS, which caused challenging obstacles in teaching. The results were achieved when integrating the six-factor model into education robots to improve student learning. Future researchers should expand their studies to look into the opportunities and challenges that teachers and school administrators face in the classroom. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-SP1-09 Full Text: PDF
Relative Humidity: A Control Valve of the Steam Engine Climate
Authors: Feistel Rainer , Hellmuth Olaf
Published: November 2021

In the words of Heinrich Hertz in 1885, the Earth is a “gigantic steam engine”. On average, of the planet’s cross section exposed to sunlight, 72 % belong to the global ocean. With a delay of only 2-3 months, most of the heat absorbed there is released by evaporation rather than by thermal radiation. Water vapour is the dominating “greenhouse gas” of the marine troposphere with a typical relative humidity (RH) of 80 % at the surface. Observing the heat transport across the ocean surface permits insight in the powerhouse of the “steam engine”, controlled by the RH at the surface, a quantity that is often considered the “Cinderella” among the climate data. RH of the troposphere also controls cloud formation that is equally fundamental as challenging for climate research. As a precise and perfectly consistent thermodynamic basis for the description of such processes, the new oceanographic standard TEOS-10 was introduced by UNESCO/IOC in 2010 and IUGG in 2011. Its equations cover all thermodynamic properties of liquid water, seawater, ice and humid air, as well as their mutual equilibria and phase transitions. For harmonisation of the inconsistent RH definitions of humid air between meteorology and climatology, the relative fugacity has been defined as a physically more reasonable RH substitute that does not rely on the approximation of ideal gases. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2021-02-02-06 Full Text: PDF
Las relaciones húngaro-mexicanas entre 1990 y 2020. Una mirada desde Hungría
Authors: Szente-Varga Mónika , Sánchez Andrés Agustín
Published: November 2021

El presente artículo es resultado de una investigación que tuvo por objetivo los nexos oficiales entre Hungría y México en el período entre 1990 y 2020. El texto cuenta con una estructura cronológica y se divide en dos épocas, siendo el punto de inflexión la adhesión de Hungría a la Unión Europea en 2004.  Se han utilizado métodos mixtos para el estudio, principalmente cualitativo, y en menor medida cuantitativo. Se observó que, en los veinte años siguientes al cambio de régimen en Hungría, América Latina fue relegada a la periferia de su política exterior debido a las limitaciones presupuestarias y a la necesidad de concentrarse en el proceso de adhesión a la Unión Europea. El número de las embajadas húngaras en la región fue reducido de once a cuatro. La entrada de Hungría a la UE tuvo el potencial de provocar cambios importantes, porque así el país se hizo partícipe de los acuerdos internacionales ya existentes de la organización con México y, en general, con América Latina. Ello proporcionó a Hungría la posibilidad de aprovechar dichos compromisos para potenciar las relaciones con México. Se concluye que las oportunidades en las relaciones no han sido suficientemente aprovechadas por motivos tanto internos como internacionales.

Published: November 2021

In the 1970s, social inclusion became a ubiquitous issue in the global scenario and professionals in the field of People Management began to adopt strategies for the inclusion of people with disabilities (PWD) in the labor market. However, currently, many organizations still face difficulties in hiring PWD, not adopting an effective inclusion, despite being provided for in Law number 8,213 of July 24, 1991 (Law of Quotas for PWD). Given this fact, the objective of this research was to analyze how Law number 8,213 is being applied in a mattress factory located in the city of Três Rios/RJ. This is a research of qualitative approach, which was conducted through an in-depth interview with the manager of the People Management area, through a questionnaire based on the Model of Campos, Vasconcellos and Kruglianskas (2013). To carry out the data analysis, it was used the content analysis technique according to Bardin (1977). As a result of the research, it was found that the factory does not perform as a strategy of People Management an effective inclusion program for the PWD, since practices are not developed to facilitate accessibility, retention and awareness of such individuals in the workplace. It is concluded that the admission of PWD is made tied to the legal obligation, i.e., for the mere fulfillment of the minimum percentage required by Law number 8,213. In this sense, the adoption of palliative strategies prevails in the factory so that people with disabilities are only inserted into the workplace.

Na época da preparação do encontro de Puebla, havia discussões acesas a respeito do enfoque do futuro documento: se era o aspecto cultural ou a mudança social que devia estar no centro. Com a distância de alguns anos já se vê que não havia motivo de confronto. Há muito mais uma interpenetração dos dois aspectos. A necessidade de evangelizar as culturas leva à necessidade de diversificar as reflexões teológicas, no sentido de teologias contextuais. A Teologia da libertação pode-se considerar um tipo de teologia contextual...
Krytyczna ocena z perspektywy katolicko-feministycznej
Authors: Maliszewska Anna
Published: November 2021

Dość oczywiste wydaje się stwierdzenie, że tzw. nowy feminizm, kojarzony jednoznacznie z nauczaniem Jana Pawła II, nie jest szczególnie entuzjastycznie przyjmowany przez autorki feministyczne, które można by zaliczyć do głównego nurtu feminizmu. Niniejszy artykuł wychodzi od przykładów krytyki nowego feminizmu podejmowanej przez dwie znakomite teolożki feministyczne – Elżbietę Adamiak oraz Elizabeth Johnson – w celu oceny zasadności podnoszonych przez nie zarzutów, zarówno przez pryzmat postulatów feministycznych, jak i tradycji oraz nauczania Kościoła katolickiego. Tekst stara się również ukazać najgłębsze przyczyny niezgody między nowym feminizmem a feminizmem głównego nurtu. Widzi je przedewszystkim w zbyt łatwym przyjęciu przez autorki głównego nurtu pooświeceniowej idei wolności jako całkowitej autonomii i – wynikającym z tego – niedocenianiem tradycyjnych wartości kobiecych, takich jak: zależność, słabość, receptywność, wrażliwość. W artykule ukazane są jednak także punkty wspólne między nauczaniem papieskim dotyczącym kobiet i różnicy płciowej, a poglądami autorek feministycznych. Tekst wskazuje wreszcie pewne punkty wyjścia do dalszej refleksji nad kluczowymi pytaniami feminizmu: Kim jest kobieta i co oznacza jej wyzwolenie? Czy możliwe jest przebudowaniem systemu wartości w taki sposób, aby stereotypowe wartości kobiece zostały w nim zauważone, a nawet wysoko postawione? Stawiarównież pytanie o to, czy nowe podejście do różnicy płciowej ma szanse przyczynić się do zbudowania zdrowszej antropologii antropologicznej, która widzi człowieka nie tylko w jego wielkości i sile, ale także słabości, kruchości i zależności.
«Figli della luce e figli del giorno» (1Ts 5,5): il fondamento kerygmatico dell’essere Cristiani
Authors: Cesarale Enrichetta
Published: November 2021

The article reflects on the “actual aspect”, that is, the “real now”, the “hour of salvation”, as described by St. Paul, who sees parousia as a new way of understanding the eschatology rooted in the ordinary “now” life of the Christians. Jesus’ resurrection is an event par excellence dependent solely on the action of God’s power in history. Hence the end of the times, which is the end of time, is something already present within history and within the passage of time. The article also introduces and deepens one of the intuitions of the biblical scholar Ugo Vani SJ, which concerns the so-called “qualitative”, “vertical” eschatology. It refers to the change of perspective brought about by the event of Christ’s death and resurrection, which highlights the Christian experience of “being saved”. This experience characterizes “eschatological tension” as the tension between the “not yet” and “already” being saved. Finally, the article examines 1 Thess. 5: 1-11. Its aim is to discover the kerygmatic value of the Gospel of Paul and the ontology of the baptized contained in the statement “we are children of light and children of the day” (1 Thess 5: 5).
„Racjonalność” życia konsekrowanego według Benedykta XVI
Authors: Pagacz Małgorzata
Published: November 2021

Artykuł przedstawia zagadnienie racjonalności życia konsekrowanego w nauczaniu Benedykta XVI. Tajemnica życia całkowicie poświęconego Bogu przekracza zdolność rozumienia i pojmowania opartą jedynie na logice czysto ludzkiej. Życie konsekrowane stanowi świadectwo wyboru racjonalności otwartej na transcendencję, dającej prymat stwórczemu Rozumowi i stawiającej w centrum tajemnicę Logosu Wcielonego. Osoba zakonna żyje radami ewangelicznymi, które są zrozumiałe jedynie w świetle wiary i tylko według logiki Ewangelii. Praktyka czystości, ubóstwa i posłuszeństwa znajduje się w widocznej opozycji do niektórych współczesnych kryteriów racjonalności. Życie konsekrowane jest wobec tego drogą poszerzania przestrzeni racjonalności.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Locomotion is a determinant of intrinsic capacity ofolder people and can be limited by dysfunction in locomotory organs,characterizing Locomotive Syndrome (LoS). Knowledge on locomotiveproblems and sarcopenia, and their interface with quality of life, in theoldest old in the literature is scarce.Objective: To evaluate the correlation between LoS and sarcopenia andtheir influence on quality of life in oldest old.Methods: A cross-sectional study of an observational, descriptive andanalytical epidemiological survey in independent older adults aged 80and over from São Paulo, Brazil and who participated in the third waveof the LOCOMOV Project, was carried out. Sociodemographic data,comorbidities, functioning in activities of daily living, physical functioning,quality of life, and presence of sarcopenia and LoS were assessed. Thestatistical analyses included the Test-for-Comparing-Two-Proportions,Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, the chi-Square test and Student´s t-test.Results: Thirty oldest old with a mean age of 89.1 years were evaluated.The prevalence of LoS was high (53.3%) and correlated significantly withchronic pain (p-value 0.024), worse performance on the SPPB and Gaitspeed (p-value <0.001). Sarcopenia was not correlated with LoS, but worsequality of life on the physical domain was significantly associated with LoS(p-value <0.001) regardless of the presence of sarcopenia.Conclusions: LoS was highly prevalent among the oldest old studied andnegatively impacted their quality of life, regardless of the presence ofsarcopenia.

We know that the approx and over 65% portion of India’s population resides in the rural areas of the country and therefore rural banking plays an important role in the Indian financial system. Remote areas usually have limited number of opportunities for survival and growth. The need for proper rural banking infrastructure cannot be overlooked in these distant remote regions especially in the wake of sustainable development of the country as a whole.

Demand the higher agricultural technology, we need in turn higher uses of funds and that can only be fulfilled through rural banking. Economic liberalization lead lot many firms, companies, and SMSE to rise and live up to the expectation of rural society. These stakeholders are working in a challenging situation in hard geographical zones and hence need proper banking support and financial inclusion. Just to justify the topic ‘Rural banking’ and that too in hard geographical sphere, we selected hard remote region of Uttarakhand for research and 100 samples have collected through structured interview schedule. The paper is designed to investigate customer satisfaction of public banks in the rural segment.

This paper argues that the international economic order, continental
politics, and cultural movement have primarily shaped how traditional leaders
evolved in South Africa. In this context, the overarching neoliberal economic
influence can be understood from two interlaced factors: Firstly, post the
soviet disintegration, South Africa necessarily underwent a structural
transition in the sphere of political economy that opens up space for
international actors. Secondly, the cultural plurality was increasingly
recognised and protected, which further propitiates traditional leaders
entrenching South Africa’s market economy. Therefore, understanding the
political salience of traditional leadership in South Africa cannot be
separated from the international clout that impinges on the local
governmentality.
Observer Dependent Biases of Quantum Randomness
Authors: Dechamps Moritz C. , Maier Markus A. , Pflitsch Markus , Duggan Michael

Quantum mechanics (QM) proposes that a quantum system measurement does not register a pre-existing reality but rather establishes reality from the superposition of potential states. Measurement reduces the quantum state according to a probability function, the Born rule, realizing one of the potential states. Consequently, a classical reality is observed. The strict randomness of the measurement outcome is well-documented (and theoretically predicted) and implies a strict indeterminacy in the physical world’s fundamental constituents. Wolfgang Pauli, with Carl Gustav Jung, extended the QM framework to measurement outcomes that are meaningfully related to human observers, providing a psychophysical theory of quantum state reductions. The Pauli-Jung model (PJM) proposes the existence of observer influences on quantum measurement outcomes rooted in the observer’s unconscious mind. The correlations between quantum state reductions and (un)conscious states of observers derived from the PJM and its mathematical reformulation within the model of pragmatic information (MPI) were empirically tested. In all studies, a subliminal priming paradigm was used to induce a biased likelihood for specific quantum measurement outcomes (i.e., a higher probability of positive picture presentations; Studies 1 and 2) or more pronounced oscillations of the evidence than expected by chance for such an effect (Studies 3 and 4). The replicability of these effects was also tested. Although Study 1 found strong initial evidence for such effects, later replications (Studies 2 to 4) showed no deviations from the Born rule. The results thus align with standard QM, arguing against the incompleteness of standard QM in psychophysical settings like those established in the studies. However, although no positive evidence exists for the PJM and the MPI, the data do not entirely falsify the model’s validity.

Psi Performance as a Function of Demographic and Personality Factors in Smartphone-Based Tests
Authors: Mossbridge Julia , Radin Dean
Published: November 2021

Objective: We set out to gain a better understanding of human psychic or “psi” functioning by using a smartphone-based app to gather data from thousands of participants. Our expectations were that psi performance would often be revealed to be in the direction opposite to the participants’ conscious intentions (“expectation-opposing”; previously called “psi-missing”), and that gender and psi belief would be related to performance. Method:We created and launched three iOS-based tasks, available from 2017 to 2020, related to micro-psychokinesis (the ability to mentally influence a random number generator) and precognition (the ability to predict future randomly selected events). We statistically analyzed data from more than 2,613 unique logins and 995,995 contributed trials using null hypothesis significance testing as well as a pre-registered confirmatory analysis. Results: Our expectations were confirmed, and we discovered additional effects post-hoc. Our key findings were: 1) significant expectation-opposing effects, with a confirmatory pre-registered replication of a clear expectation-opposing effect on a micro-pk task,  2) performance correlated with psi belief on all three tasks, 3) performance on two of the three tasks related to gender, 4) men and women apparently used different strategies to perform micro-pk and precognition tasks. Conclusions: We describe our recommendations for future attempts to better understand performance on forced-choice psi tasks. The mnemonic for this strategy is SEARCH: Small effects, Early and exploratory, Accrue data, Recognize diversity in approach, Characterize rather than impose, and Hone in on big results.

تقييم الفئات المشاركة في الثورة الدستورية الايرانية (1905- 1911)
Authors: Sarmad Saad
Published: November 2021

الملخص

تعد الثورة الدستورية الإيرانية الحدث البارز والأكثر أهمية في تاريخ إيران الحديث والمعاصر في القرن العشرين، لاسيما إذا أدركنا ان تلك الفترة حدثت بفعل العوامل الداخلية بصورة مباشرة، ومن الآثار المتراكمة التي القت بظلالها على فئات الشعب الإيراني، وهذا لا يعني ان الثورة كانت بمعزل عن العوامل الخارجية التي أدت دوراً بالغ الأهمية في اندلاع الثورة في وجه الاستبداد القاجاري. على أن تقييم الأحداث ومجريات الثورة من المواضيع المهمة التي كتب عنها الكثير من المؤرخين الإيرانيين وغيرهم، هنا تأتي مهمة تقييم الثورة الدستورية بوصفها الحدث الكبير في تاريخ إيران، موضوع التقييم لكل مفاصل الثورة من العوامل الداخلية والخارجية والفئات المشاركة بها وأدوارهم على مختلف مستوياتهم وانتماءاتهم الدينية والعرقية، غير متغاضين عن التراكمات والترسبات التي سبقت الثورة كما في عهدي ناصر الدين شاه ومظفر الدين شاه، وأن دور رجال الدين والمثقفين والمجددين، وما للصحف والجمعيات أيضاً من دور فاعل في انطلاق شرارة الثورة والخطب النارية التي أظهرت مفاسد البلاط والشاه القاجاري وسوء إدارة البلاد ولجميع نواحيها ما هي إلا عوامل ساعدت في انفجار الوضع آنذاك، كما أن الأحداث البارزة في الوزارات والإدارات التي تأسست بين (1905 – 1911)، كانت الأبرز على مسرح الحدث الدستوري، وهي محل التقييم لغاية وأد الثورة من لدن القوى الأجنبية المتمثلة بروسيا وبريطانيا والقوى الرجعية في إيران، لذا كان البحث ليس كباقي البحوث، فهو يعني كتابة خاتمة أو استنتاجات افرزتها الأحداث المتسارعة في تلك المدة، وان بعض الأحداث تصلح عنوانا مستقلا لبحث أو دراسة بل عنوان رسالة أو أطروحة أكاديمية.

تقسم هذه الدراسة إلى عدة محاور، مع تقسيم كل محور الى مجموعة نقاط، أولها، تتبع اتجاهات تحليل الثورة الدستورية والعوامل الداخلية والخارجية وتقييمها، وثانياً، تقييم دور رجال الدين والخطباء فيها، وثالثاً، تقييم دور المثقفين والمتنورين، ليتضمن المحور الرابع، تقييم لدور الصحافة في الثورة، ومن ثم تقييم دور الجمعيات السرية والثورية ضمن المحور الخامس. أما السادس فيدور حول تقييم دور المرأة الإيرانية، وسابعاً، تقييم اعضاء الدورة الأولى للمجلس الوطني وأحداث حلّه، وتختص ثامناً، بتقييم (فترة الاستبداد الصغير) وثورة تبريز، فيما يتناول المحور التاسع: تقييم فتح طهران وفتح المجلس الوطني الإيراني الثاني، فيما خاتمة المحاور تقييما للإنذار الروسي ونهاية الثورة الدستورية. فيما تعتمد الدراسة على جملة من المصادر الفارسية والانجليزية مع استخدام المصادر العربية، آخذين بنظر الاعتبار الأساس التاريخي الموضوعي للتقييم.
