Exploring the Potential of Active Learning in the Apprenticeship Scheme in Switzerland.
Authors:   , Moro Christian
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this thesis was to suggest a change in Switzerland’s apprenticeship scheme by changing the pedagogical approach adopted by in-company coaches in Switzerland’s labour market because of the high noncompletion of apprenticeship. The literature review showed that there is a gap in the literature covering in Switzerland’s apprenticeship scheme. Nevertheless, pedagogy and andragogy provide a useful orientation even if apprentices are – because of their age – in transition form childhood to adulthood and therefore not children anymore but not adult yet. The pedagogical tool to promote active learning will therefore be a fusion between pedagogy and andragogy. Along the research questions, the principal tenets/presupposition of constructivism as a theory of learning were identified. Using a deductive approach and a qualitative design, the methodology used in this thesis is participatory action research by adopting the position of reflective practitioner. A suggestion of a process or practical instructional approach (called IPERKA) is used as a foundation to be developed to IAZPERKA and set of principles that flow from constructivism’s learning theory for the development of in-company coaches towards being reflective practitioners have been proposed. Implementing IAZPERKA as pedagogical tool derived from constructivism and embedded in active learning, has been proven to be an effective way to enhance the professional partnership between in-company coaches and apprentices. It can be stated that IAZPERKA encourages and values the personal understanding/knowledge construction by apprentices, and the design of learning is apprentice-centred. Understanding that there are multiple ways that knowledge is absorbed and constructed, there are several conditions in the learning setting that should be encouraged and seen/felt by in-company coaches as essential to constructivism. Learning is iterative and lifelong; fosters active, higher-level thinking and reflections and is social in nature. It builds upon shared negotiated meaning and upon the apprentice’s interests. It is situated within realistic authentic tasks and complex problem-solving based on and found in the world outside the ‘classroom’. In-company coaches share authority and assist apprentices in adopting intellectual responsibility for their own learning process. In-company coaches are flexible in their support of apprentices’ expressions of varying levels of knowledge while critically merging the learner’s knowledge with disciplinary insights and personal experiences. Assessment should include apprentices’ reflection on their goals and accomplishments and avoid overly narrow measurements of skills or knowledge without a complete context of interpretation. In addition, recommendations are included for further research, and suggestions are made for the use of IAZPERKA as a pedagogical tool of active learning in light of constructivism in Switzerland’s apprenticeship scheme.

Published: July 2023

Es fundamental conocer los procesos de reinserción de las personas drogodependientes, especialmente en las cárceles y desde una perspectiva de género. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar las drogodependencias, el trato recibido por las mujeres penadas en las modalidades de régimen ordinario y régimen abierto del sistema penitenciario español y la relación con los factores que determinan sus procesos de reinserción. Se analiza una muestra de 756 mujeres penadas y 66 profesionales penitenciarios que cumplimentaron cuestionarios mixtos. Los resultados mostraron una gran presencia de drogodependencias en ambos regímenes. La mayoría de las mujeres con problemas de adicción recibieron tratamientos, aunque percibieron carencias en la perspectiva de género para reconocer sus necesidades. El tratamiento mejora la reinserción al fomentar la participación sociocomunitaria y la situación laboral, pero por su falta de continuidad dificulta la búsqueda de vivienda, la prevención de recaídas y reincidencia y perjudica la salud mental. En definitiva, se requiere la formación y sensibilización profesional en igualdad de género para desarrollar estrategias de acompañamiento y tratamiento adaptadas, prevenir las recaídas y reincidencia.

Published: July 2023

This research aimed to determine the training needs of the Lupon Tagapamayapa, operating under the Barangay Justice System, as perceived by constituents from selected barangays in the City of Ozamiz. Specifically, the study focused on the areas of conciliation efforts to reconcile parties, enforcement of rules, and proper application of legal procedures. A total of 35 constituents participated in the study, and data were gathered using an adapted survey questionnaire. The findings of the study revealed the training needs of the Lupon Tagapamayapa in handling community disputes. By fulfilling this objective, the study aimed to contribute to the development of training programs that would benefit the Lupon Tagapamayapa in four barangays of Ozamiz City through community extension programs. The results indicated that the Lupon Tagapamayapa in the four barangays of Ozamiz City scored very low in the areas of conciliation efforts to reconcile parties, enforcement of rules, and proper application of legal procedures. Furthermore, age, gender, and civil status were found to have a significant impact on the conciliation process to reconcile parties. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended specific areas of training that could be beneficial for the Lupon Tagapamayapa. These areas include conflict resolution, communication skills, legal knowledge, cultural sensitivity, and problem-solving skills. It is important for them to receive training in various techniques and strategies for resolving disputes and maintaining peaceful community relations. By addressing these training needs, the Lupon Tagapamayapa can enhance their effectiveness in carrying out their roles within the Barangay Justice System. It is hoped that this research will serve as a foundation for the development and implementation of targeted training programs, ultimately leading to improved conflict resolution and strengthened community relations in the barangays of Ozamiz City.

Reserve Officer Training Corps, aspirants struggled too much in training and academic requirements. This study explored the challenges and coping mechanisms encountered and employed by aspiring advanced ROTC officers in adhering to their training and academics. It was participated by the aspirants in Misamis University, Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental. Interview responses were analyzed using Yin's 5-Step analysis approach to analyze the data and allow researchers to analyze textual data (Yin, 2009). This study generated four themes 1. Family, Relatives, and Peer Influence 2. Difficulties in coping with academic-related concerns 3. Gearing towards the achievement of becoming an officer 4. Positive Outlook. As a result, most participants face different challenges and coping mechanisms in responding to ROTC training and academic requirements. These challenges create an impact physically and mentally, which is extremely stressful during training and in dealing with academics. Given that participants in the ROTC program come from diverse backgrounds and have varying levels of experience and preparation for military training and academic requirements. ROTC programs must recognize these differences and tailor their training and support accordingly. This may involve providing additional resources and support to participants struggling with certain aspects of the training or academic requirements, as well as recognizing and accommodating the unique challenges faced by participants from different backgrounds and determining the importance of resilience and adaptability in the face of challenges. ROTC participants who can develop effective coping mechanisms and strategies for managing the program's demands are more likely to succeed and excel in their training. By acknowledging and addressing the diverse challenges and coping mechanisms of ROTC cadets, the program can help build the resilience and adaptability of the cadets, which will be valuable in their future military endeavours. Further, the aspirants learned the use of managing their time wisely. This study highlights the importance of a positive outlook, time management, and resilience in dealing with challenges in training and academics.

Acute Neuromuscular Respiratory Failure
Authors: Cho Jeong Hee
Published: July 2023

Respiratory muscle weakness caused by neuromuscular disease can lead to both acute and chronic respiratory failure. Respiratory failure caused by Guillain-Barré syndrome and myasthenia gravis can potentially improve with disease-specific therapy. However, respiratory failure in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is irreversible, and it may be necessary to provide full-time ventilation support along with additional assistance. Noninvasive ventilation is recommended for managing acute or acute-on-chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure caused by neuromuscular disease. It has also been effective in weaning patients off invasive mechanical ventilation. Although noninvasive ventilation offers numerous benefits over invasive mechanical ventilation, it is crucial to consider the specific contraindications and limitations of noninvasive ventilation and ensure its appropriate usage based on the patient's condition and needs. The timely recognition of neuromuscular respiratory failure is critical, as early intervention can be life-saving. This review focused on the clinical assessment and management of acute respiratory failure in neuromuscular diseases.

Degenerative Doctoring: Coercion, Experimentation and Ethics in Arthur Machen’s Gothic Horror
Authors: Cole II Thomas G.
Published: July 2023

In “The Inmost Light” and The Great God Pan Arthur Machen demonstrates a medicalised sexism through unethical human experimentation performed on women by doctors who experiment no matter the cost. In Machen’s stories, the sensationalism is meant to create a feeling of horror and disgust that hinges on the cruelty the public had begun to associate with experimental medical science. The narratives also engage with nineteenth-century perspectives on degeneration, women, and rape. Machen’s use of a sexualised rape metaphor dehumanises women and retains a gendered doctor-patient relationship. In light of this gendered relationship, this article considers Machen’s use of elements drawn from the Gothic in relation to the depiction of medicalised sexism and medical ethics in two pieces of his popular fiction.
“The most accomplished liar in literature”? Uncovering Marie Corelli’s Hidden Early Life
Authors: Turner Joanna
Published: July 2023

This article presents newly uncovered archival materials which necessitate a rewriting of the early life of Marie Corelli. The many biographies on her are focussed on rumours surrounding Corelli being illegitimate, her eccentricities, and the exposure of lies she told about her age. The most recent biographies, the latest of which was published in 1999, reformulated what had already been written about her and additionally employed analogue genealogical research methods to investigate Corelli’s parentage. They created an account of Corelli’s life which has been subsumed into twenty-first century scholarship. However, the digitisation of genealogical records, as well as of nineteenth and twentieth-century newspapers, has enabled research which renders the twentieth-century biographers’ findings inaccurate and incomplete. This article uncovers Corelli’s working-class origins; it reveals that she spent a lengthy period in America; it finds the likely location of the convent school she attended; and details that she had a fuller performing career than previously understood. It finds truth in the stories that Corelli told about herself, forcing a re-evaluation of her character and her motivation for the concealment of her early life, paving the way for future study.
Reading the Women’s Sentimental Novel: A Romance
Authors: Sparks Tabitha
Published: July 2023

In “Reading the Women’s Sentimental Novel: A Romance,” Tabitha Sparks considers a large and diffuse body of mass-market fiction written by and for Victorian women. She argues that the author-focused interpretive approach that underwrites the study of the canon neglects the attraction of formula fiction, and even the robust recovery efforts of Victorian scholars have largely avoided a taxonomic reading of these novels. In an effort to uncover their objectives and appeal, Sparks reads periodical reviews and discussions of the professional woman writer to better understand the commercial – not artistic – standards assigned to the prosaic “lady’s novel.” She examines a subset of novels by Annie S. Swan, Sarah Doudney, Emily Jolly, and Adeline Sergeant to uncover a repeated subplot in which these novels’ heroines become best-selling authors. The complete elision of the content of their best-sellers reveals and confirms the sentimental novel’s self-conscious withdrawal from the literary caste wars of the day.
Interpreting Issues of Heredity and Inheritance in Holmesian Children through Criminal Anthropology and Degeneration Theory
Authors: Del Grazia Camilla
Published: July 2023

This article focuses on the ways in which childhood in the Holmesian canon tends to epitomise pervasive Victorian anxieties connected with inheritance and heredity in their double economic and genetic significance. On the one hand, because children represent an earlier state of biological and social development, their growth and education are seen as potential paths to progress. On the other, they become the physical embodiment of previous stages of evolution that so plagued the Victorian imagination, and can exhibit signs of regression and degeneration. Simultaneously, children also carry socio-economic value, as the heirs to their parents’ property. Their helplessness in defending themselves and, as a result, this economic patrimony, adds to their liminal position: children in the canon become the expression of hope for the future and the progress of society, and at the same time, of the fear of impoverishment and regression. Finally, the article shows that the action of the detective, whose scientific approach incorporates criminal anthropology alongside hard sciences, ultimately strives to decode the unpredictable, uncontrollable offspring of Victorian society. His normalising action targets inheritance in its ambivalence, striving to restore order in the economic-juridical domain and investigating the transmittance of hereditary traits.
Criminal Bodies in Popular Victorian and Modernist Detective Fiction
Authors: Hart Kevin
Published: July 2023

This paper will examine the representation of the criminal body in detective fiction from the popular Victorian story magazine The Strand in its relationship to modernist experimental fiction which draws on the detective genre. Offering a broad survey of the Sherlock Holmes and other detective stories published in the first fourteen years of The Strand (1891-1904), the paper will argue that the period’s theories of criminal anthropology and hereditary criminality are consistently called into question in the popular magazine, suggesting that late-Victorian detective fiction was ambivalent toward theories of biologically determined criminality and was alive to problems of racial and class prejudice, corruption, and misidentification in criminal detection. Moving from the popular press to the canon, the paper will then make a claim for reading literary texts like G. K. Chesterton’s The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare and Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent: A Simple Tale alongside the classic detective fiction of the popular press. To understand these novels in their engagements with classic detective fiction is to reconceptualize the notion of a neat divide between the period’s genres of fiction and to reach for a broader frame of literary responses to early criminology.

Microbial biofilms are collections of grouped microbial cells enmeshed in an extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) matrix that they have self-assembled. Biofilms are resistant to harsh environments and can serve as "protective clothing" for bacteria by shielding them from ultraviolet (UV) radiation, extreme temperatures, pH ranges, high salinity, high pressure, inadequate nutrition, antibiotics, etc. Research on biofilms in recent years has mostly concentrated on biofilm-associated illnesses and methods for eradicating microbial biofilms.
The importance of gene flow in human evolution
Authors: Templeton Alan R.
Published: July 2023

By the latter half of the 20th century, there were three dominant models of human evolution. All three accepted an African origin of humans at the Homo erectus stage, with H. erectus expanding out of Africa and colonizing Eurasia near the beginning of the Pleistocene. The candelabra model had H. erectus splitting into mostly isolated geographical lineages that independently evolved into the modern African, European and Asian “races”. The out-of-Africa replacement model starts out like the candelabra model, but then posits that Homo sapiens first evolved in Africa and then expanded out of Africa in the late Pleistocene and replaced all of the archaic Eurasian populations without interbreeding with them. Neither of these models assign an important role to gene flow (genetic interchange). In contrast, the multiregional model regarded the human populations in Africa and Eurasia as experiencing gene flow throughout the Pleistocene and evolving as a single human lineage with some local differentiation. Studies on mitochondrial DNA in the 1980’s claimed to support the out-of-Africa replacement model and to falsify both the candelabra and multiregional models by mistakenly equating the two. In fact, the mitochondrial DNA studies were fully compatible with both the replacement and multiregional models. The first statistically significant discrimination between these two models appeared in 2002 and revealed a hybrid model in which there was a mid-Pleistocene and a late Pleistocene expansion of humans out of Africa that resulted in limited genetic interchange with Eurasians rather than complete replacement. Moreover, significant gene flow and population movements led to genetic interchange throughout the mid-Pleistocene to the present. Studies on genomic data and ancient DNA have strongly confirmed these inferences. Moreover, our modern species of humans was forged in an African multiregional metapopulation rather than arising from one local area of Africa. Thus, gene flow has played a dominant role in human evolution since the mid-Pleistocene whereas splits and isolation have not. This undercuts the idea that human races are biologically real categories or separate branches on an evolutionary tree.
Avaliação da resistência ao cisalhamento de interfaces concreto-rocha (gnaisse) para diferentes variáveis

A interface concreto-rocha é considerada uma das regiões de maior fragilidade de uma barragem de concreto. Por isso, a determinação fidedigna da resistência ao cisalhamento dessa região é de suma importância. Entretanto, em função das incertezas e necessidade de estudos mais aprofundados para a obtenção de parâmetros mais fidedignos com a condição de campo, muitas vezes são adotados parâmetros conservadores e que não consideram a influência da rugosidade da rocha e da adesão do concreto. Em função disso, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar o comportamento de interfaces, ligadas e apoiadas, de concreto-gnaisse, considerando diferentes variáveis, como a rugosidade, o grau de intemperismo da rocha, a adesão do concreto e o efeito escala. Para isso, a avaliação da resistência ao cisalhamento das interfaces foi estudada separadamente em superfícies lisas e rugosas. Na superfície lisa foi avaliada a influência do grau de intemperismo e a influência da adesão do concreto, sendo ensaiadas superfícies W 1 , W 2 e W 3 , a partir de ensaios de laboratório para a caracterização física, petrográfica e mecânica das matrizes rochosas e cimentícias, caracterização física e geométrica das interfaces e a realização de ensaios de cisalhamento direto simples. Já nas superfícies rugosas foi avaliada a influência da rugosidade e o efeito escala. Em geral, os resultados mostraram boas correlações entre as propriedades físicas e a resistência ao cisalhamento das interfaces com diferentes graus de intemperismo. Além disso, foram observadas diferenças significativas entre os resultados na condição de pico e residual para cada tipo de interface de concreto-rocha estudada, sendo que o traço do concreto, a rugosidade e o tamanho da amostra tiveram influência significativa nos resultados. Independente da rugosidade da superfície, foram encontrados valores de coesão na ordem de 500 kPa para as amostras de 50 mm, indicando que a adesão do concreto tem uma contribuição significativa na parcela coesiva. Já a rugosidade e o grau de intemperismo tiveram relação diretamente proporcional com o ângulo de atrito. Além disso, os resultados indicaram que o tamanho da amostra influencia diretamente na definição dos parâmetros de resistência na condição de pico de interfaces concreto-rochas ligadas, e o uso de amostras menores do que 100 mm para a definição de parâmetros de resistência pode resultar em valores superestimados nessa condição.

Published: July 2023

In 2022, Malaysia held the 15th General Election (GE15), which allowed new voters to participate in voting for the first time. The research objective of this study is to explore the role of new voters in GE15. To achieve this objective, this study used the qualitative research method to conduct 2 focus group discussions on 7 Selangor’s new voters, aged between 22 and 24, with bachelor's degrees. They are 3 Malays, 2 Malaysian Chinese, and 2 Malaysian Indians. This research utilized NVIVO12 for thematic analysis of data. The findings show that Informants believe that they play many roles in GE15, they mainly support democracy, change politics, influence politics, promote political participation, and fulfill responsibilities and obligations. In addition, Informants believe that their votes have a significant influence on the political situation, mainly influencing the economy, influencing politics, and promoting democracy. These findings emphasize the role and influence of new voters in Malaysia’s politics, and emphasize the importance of democracy, diversity, and government attention to public opinion.

Does "Fortress Europe" have an alternative? EU member states between solidarity and national interests
Authors: TOPAL Said , Radeljić Branislav
Published: July 2023

This paper examines the repercussions of the 2015 European migrant/refugee crisis, which culminated with the 2018 dispute between Italy and France. It is concerned with the Dublin Regulation and the New Pact on Asylum and Migration, which are critical to the division and consequent polarizations across the EU. The Member States’ failure to show solidarity and agree to share the burden in relation to the distribution of immigrants and asylum seekers has brought the European integrationist project into question. In addition to considering the general theoretical explanations, the paper also looks into the African-origin migration/displacement as a proper trigger of widespread disagreements among European governments. The deliberate and systematic impoverishment of the local inhabitants – largely through the use of the French Treasury tied Communauté Financière Africaine (CFA) franc – exposes the neo-colonial nature of the current practices and thus jeopardizes all those discourses and policy initiatives focused on the provision of peace and stability.

Published: July 2023

This phenomenological study was conducted with the purpose of analyzing the multiple burdens of solo-parent mothers. It revealed the various challenges they experienced and coping mechanisms that they employ to manage their day-to-day roles and responsibilities. The study participants were eight (8) solo-parent mothers employed in Davao City Water District (DCWD) who underwent an in-depth interview. Narratives taken from the interview were transcribed, translated, and coded to extract themes. Dominant themes in the manifestations of multiple burdens were absenteeism, tardiness, and extended working hours or getting a second job. As to the effects of their multiple burdens, the themes include health issues, missed opportunities, resilient and independent, sense of fulfillment. When it comes to their coping mechanisms, the themes include time management, a strong support system, strong faith, and stress management. The results contribute to increasing the understanding of the perspectives and challenges experienced by solo-parent mother, it also provides insight on how workplace policies can be more responsive.
