A Mandioca na Alimentação de Ruminantes
Authors: BRAGA Luiza Kopchinski
Published: November 2021

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a utilização da mandioca na alimentação de ruminantes, sua viabilidade e seus efeitos sobre a saúde e sobre a carne desses animais. A metodologia utilizada envolveu experimentos e estudos de caso para identificar o porquê dos fenômenos. Os experimentos de maior relevância foram realizados por Silva et al. (2003) em campo e avaliaram a substituição do milho pelos componentes extraídos da mandioca em diferentes proporções na dieta de diversos ruminantes, com os quais foram utilizadas quatro variáveis fontes de energia: 1) milho; 2) raiz de mandioca; 3) casca de mandioca; e, 4) farelo de mandioca. Novilhas Aberdeen Angus x Nelore, alimentadas com casca de mandioca, apresentaram maior teor de umidade e menor de proteína em determinado músculo quando comparadas àquelas alimentadas por milho. Nesse mesmo grupo de animais, os analistas observaram que dietas compostas por casca e farelo de mandioca proporcionaram menor deposição de lipídeos totais em relação às dietas de milho. Cabe mencionar que, conquanto seja fonte de energia de elevada produtividade portadora de nutrientes indispensáveis para melhorar o desempenho animal, a mandioca contém fatores antinutricionais que podem comprometer a produtividade de um rebanho e, portanto, para seu uso adequado requer conhecimento acerca da biossíntese e do mecanismo de ação de seus compostos, bem como de técnicas de destoxificação. Uma das grandes limitações nutricionais quanto ao uso da mandioca e de seus subprodutos na alimentação animal é a presença de glicosídeos cianogênicos, compostos do metabolismo secundário da planta que funcionam como mecanismos de defesa contra determinadas doenças, pois, sendo potencialmente tóxicos, podem ser convertidos em ácido cianídrico (HCN). Considerando o potencial valor nutritivo da mandioca, algumas opções são propostas e avaliadas para permitir a utilização segura do alimento, tais como o melhoramento e uso de variedades com menor teor de cianoglicosídeos, conforme Santos et al. (2001), e o processamento, método destoxificante proposto por Corrêa et al. (2002). A consideração final deste estudo foi no sentido de que as experiências na utilização de coprodutos da mandioca, como aditivos de uma dieta alimentar, em substituição aos alimentos tradicionais revelaram resultados satisfatórios. Embora a mandioca contenha fatores antinutricionais, os métodos de conservação do produto são eficientes a reduzi-los a níveis inócuos; e, por se tratar de uma forrageira completa, com alto valor alimentar, de grande disponibilidade, com elevado teor proteico e baixo custo de produção, vêm destacando-se cada vez mais na alimentação de ruminantes.

ntrodução: No abdome, a zona de spiegel é topograficamente uma relação anatômica que faz a transição entre a linha semilunar lateralmente e a aponeurose do músculo reto abdominal medialmente, permitindo a formação de uma zona linear de baixa estabilidade que se estende do nono espaço intercostal até o tubérculo púbico. Devido essa perda de tensão entre os músculos, pode haver protrusão do conteúdo abdominal, caracterizando diversas patologias, entre elas a hérnia de spiegel (HS): espessamento intraparietal do intestino delgado na linha arqueada, região de maior instabilidade da zona de spiegel. Objetivo: Relatar um caso de uma hérnia de baixa incidência em um paciente politraumatizado admitido no serviço de cirurgia geral na emergência de um hospital público do Rio de Janeiro. Método: Os alunos presentes nesse trabalho são estagiários observacionais de um hospital público do Rio de Janeiro e, com isso, se depararam com um caso raro na clínica cirúrgica e, juntos com os preceptores, o interpretaram assiduamente para formar um relato de caso, correlacionando com a literatura disponível em base de grande impacto mundial como Medline, PubMed, ScieLO e periódicos CAPES. Em nenhum momento é feito menção ou divulgação da identidade do paciente, a fim de preservar o sigilo médicopaciente. Resultados: encontrou-se achados tomográficos do paciente e se constatou uma hernia de baixa incidência no meio médico, com poucas literaturas a respeito do tema. Nesse sentido, formou-se, com a equipe responsável pelo cuidado do paciente no hospital, um grupo para desenvolver um relato de caso sobre esse assunto e ajudar em correlações futuras com outras produções bibliográficas. Conclusão: O aumento da pressão abdominal devido ao politrauma pode provocar o espessamento da parede intestinal, o que resulta em hérnias póstraumáticas, como a HS, se tradando de uma entidade rara e que necessita de estudos sobre esse assunto na bibliografia médica.

FISIOPATOLOGIA E TRATAMENTO PARA A DIARREIA PÓS-COLECISTECTOMIA: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA.
Authors: Martins Alana de Moura , Brati Luiza Proença
Published: November 2021

INTRODUÇÃO: A colecistectomia, remoção da vesícula biliar, é um procedimento cirúrgico comum realizado como forma de tratamento para doenças biliares em pacientes sintomáticos. De forma geral, a cirurgia deve promover a melhora da cólica biliar; entretanto, alguns dos sintomas já préexistentes e/ou outros novos sintomas podem surgir após a intervenção, sendo caracterizados como Síndrome Pós-Colecistectomia (SPC). Nesse contexto, a principal manifestação da SPC é a Diarreia Pós-Colecistectomia (DPC), a qual é definida como a presença de fezes líquidas ou amolecidas e/ou como o aumento na frequência de evacuações, após a intervenção cirúrgica. Por ser uma patologia bastante frequente, presente em 12 à 57,2% dos colecistectomizados, propôs-se realizar essa revisão bibliográfica a fim de ampliar o conhecimento acerca da DPC. OBJETIVO: Este estudo tem como objetivo ressaltar os aspectos fisiopatológicos e o tratamento, medicamentoso e não-medicamentoso, para a DPC, facilitando a conclusão diagnóstica da mesma e antecipando o tratamento da doença, a fim de reduzir a ocorrência de efeitos adversos. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, realizada a partir de 9 referências, nas línguas Espanhol, Inglês e Português, do período de 2016 à 2021, acerca da fisiopatologia e do tratamento para a DPC. As bases de dados escolhidas foram o LILACS e o MEDLINE. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: Estudos apontam o mecanismo patogênico da DPC a partir da síntese exacerbada de ácidos biliares, devido à interrupção do equilíbrio dos mesmos, associada à excessiva desidroxilação bacteriana no intestino delgado, a qual dificulta a absorção dos ABs. Assim, a síntese e a absorção desreguladas fazem com que os ácidos alcancem constantemente o intestino grosso e fiquem por mais tempo em contato com a mucosa, acarretando em alterações na microbiota intestinal e em uma resposta inflamatória crônica, o que resulta em mudanças do hábito intestinal e na diarreia por sais biliares. Ademais, pesquisas têm demonstrado que uma dieta hipo-lipídica associada à administração de sequestradores de ácidos biliares possuem grande eficácia no tratamento da DPC. A escolha do representante dessa classe à ser utilizado deve ser realizada de forma individualizada, uma vez que é levado em consideração a eficácia, a tolerância do paciente aos efeitos adversos do medicamento e, também, o preço de custo desses. Além disso, incorporar o uso de probióticos com o objetivo de regular a microbiota intestinal, parece uma opção válida e bastante conveniente no contexto dessa patologia. CONCLUSÃO: Conclui-se que reconhecer os principais mecanismos patogênicos da Diarreia Pós-Colecistectomia permite um melhor manejo do paciente e, assim, a realização da adequada conduta terapêutica, a qual visa reduzir os efeitos adversos da doença e melhorar a qualidade de vida do paciente.

Authors: Hodges Helen , Bristow Dan
Published: November 2021

On 31st March 2018, there were 6,405 children looked after in Wales, almost 1,900 more children than were looked after in 2006. Over that time Wales has consistently had more children looked after per 10,000 of the population than the rest of the UK, and that gap has widened. Within Wales, while most Local Authorities have seen a rise in both the number and rate of children looked after, there is significant variation; and some have seen the rate of children looked after fall since 2014. Using published data, this report explores what we can say about the factors that are driving these trends. The following infographics drawing on our data analysis show the kinds of placements children in Wales are in and where they’re placed.
Community Advocate Model: Linking Communities, School Districts, and Universities to Support Families and Exchange Knowledge
Authors: Burbank Mary D. , Hunter Rosemarie
Published: November 2021

Increasingly diverse communities that reach across traditional boundaries are on the rise in urban communities in the United States. Changes taking place within these communities also affect K-16 institutions that serve them. As the landscape of American neighborhoods evolves, stakeholders collaborate to forge partnerships and programs that value and reflect these changes. The Community Advocate Model (CAM) presents a unique opportunity for establishing reciprocal relationships between parents from historically underserved populations and K-16 educators. By connecting families, school, community resources, and the university, parents are able to exchange information and have direct access to system educators. Similarly, rapidly increasing immigrant populations enhance these neighborhoods and systems with rich and diverse language and cultures, bringing new opportunities and challenges for local schools and higher education to meet their academic needs. Our research indicates the need for platforms where families, communities, and schools share information on access and success in public school in the United States. Among other areas, families cite the need for information on the developmental and social needs of K-12 students and resources on immigration, health services, and employment.

Published: November 2021

Overcoming barriers is essential to get more members of underserved populations to participate in clinical research. Adjusting recruitment procedures to fit the lifestyles and routines of the targeted participants is recommended to achieve the goals of Healthy People 2010 and 2020. There is a paucity of research regarding factors that contribute to whether participants follow through after registration. In two community-based prevention education programs for minority women and men, a research team identified some of the factors affecting participation. Individuals were more likely to attend a program after registering for it based on a mix of personal and program variables.
Travel Writing/Writing Travel to Report: Matthew Flinders to Evan Nepean from Coepang Bay Timor
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Bergamo, Italy, Shvanyukova Polina
Published: November 2021

Texts authored by maritime explorers occupy a special place in the body of travel literature in English dealing with the exploration of the Pacific in the modern period. This article focuses on a specimen of scientific travel writing in epistolary form authored by Commander Matthew Flinders, the officer under whose command HMS Investigator completed the first circumnavigation of Australia in 1803. I analyse Matthew Flinders’s official despatch to Evan Nepean, Secretary of the Admiralty at the time, as an example of early nineteenth-century epistolary travel writing, paying special attention to the textual strategies employed by Flinders in order to produce a coherent and accurate travel account, on the one hand, and to negotiate his professional status and persona with his interlocutor(s), on the other.

Araltes: The Evolution of a Varangian Stereotype
Authors:   University of Iceland, Iceland, Jakobsson Sverrir
Published: November 2021

In Old Norse texts, the legend of the Varangian is part of a larger trend in a positive textual relationship between the Nordic world and the Byzantine Empire. In this article, the subject of analysis is the evolution of the Varangian legend through the character of one of the best known Varangians, King Haraldr of Norway. The development of the narrative of Haraldr, from the earliest near-contemporary narratives to high medieval and late medieval romances, will be traced and used to highlight the evolution of the discourse on the Varangians and the development of certain narrative stereotypes.
Travelling to Grikkland and Mikligarðr: The Byzantine Empire and the Byzantines in Two Scandinavian Sagas
Authors:   ", Ivanov Ivelin ,   St. Cyril and Methodius",   University of Veliko Tarnovo
Published: November 2021

The article focuses on representations of the Byzantine Empire and the Greeks in two sagas from Snorri Sturluson’s Heimskringla: The Saga of Harald Sigurtharson (Hardruler) and The Saga of Sigurth the Crusader and His Brothers, which provide examples of contacts between the Scandinavian and Byzantine worlds in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The author employs a quantitative analysis, exploring names, such as Grikkland (Greece), Mikligarðr (Constantinople), Grikkjakonungr (Emperor), Grikk(j)ar (Greek), and Grikklandshaf (Greek archipelago, Greek sea). Separating objective from legendary information, he seeks to answer the question: to what extent are the representations of the Byzantine Empire, its Emperor, and its capital in the two sagas reliable from a historical point of view?
The West from a Byzantine Perspective During the Early Crusades
Authors:   ", Dimitrov Dimitar ,   St. Cyril and Methodius",   University of Veliko Tarnovo
Published: November 2021

The article explores changing attitudes to western Europeans in the Byzantine Empire from the eleventh century until the Fourth Crusade and for some time after it. Special attention is paid to the development of old stereotypes and the emergence of new ones. More active contacts between the two halves of Christendom from the eleventh century onwards did not result in an expected rapprochement, but rather led to hatred and resentment. The article focuses on a number of texts by Byzantine authors, such as Michael Psellos, Anna Komnena, John Kinnamos, Eustathios of Thessaloniki, and Niketas Choniates. In my view, the changes in Byzantine perceptions of the west could be represented in terms of the following metaphorically named stages: Calm, Menace, and Bitterness and Despair.

Authors:   Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, Al-Muharrami Saeed , Al-Zaidi Asma
Published: November 2021

The Special Economic Zone Duqm (SEZD) in Oman is the largest special economic zone in the Middle East and North Africa Region allowing it to host various big projects. To ensure that the area is fit for a wide number of business activities to meet the needs of investors, area is divided into eight main areas: the heavy-medium and light industries complex, the port, the ship dry dock, the oil refinery, the tourism area, the logistic services area, the regional airport, and the residential/commercial area. SEZD has many competitive advantages to be a logistic and marine hub for Arab countries outside Strait of Hormuz. It is a hub for advanced petrochemical industry, manufacturing industry, fish industry and aquaculture projects, logistics services, educational institutions and tourism. For those seeking peace of mind and tranquility, Duqm is an ideal destination where it combines the natural beauty of the region and the modest climate around the year. SEZD provides many incentives for investors such as: exemption from profit tax for up to 30 years and renewable for similar period, 100% freehold by foreigners, easy recruitment of manpower, and imports of raw materials into the zone are tax-free. These facilities and incentives give SEZD a competitive advantage. SEZD is an ideal example of an integrated economic development zone. Government of Oman is trying to achieve the following national objectives from establishing such economic zone: first, economic diversification; second, sustainable economic growth; third, securing job opportunities; fourth, balancing Oman’s regional development; finally, increase private sector contribution to GDP.
Varia: Cultural Nationalism and Postcolonial Imperatives in Irene Salami-Agunloye’s Emotan: A Benin Heroine and Emmy Idegu’s Ata Igala the Great
Authors:   Kwara State University, Malete, Kwara State, Nigeria, Olanrewaju Agboola Michael
Published: November 2021

This article examines the efforts of postcolonial creative writers, particularly dramatists, who attempt to rethink the seeming erosion of African culture in the face of western cultural expansion. The present research adopts the methods of descriptive and content analysis, as it dwells on books, journal articles, and internet materials to examine its subject. Of immediate interest are two Nigerian plays, Ata Igala the Great by Emmy Idegu and Emotan: A Benin Heroine by Irene Salami-Agunloye, which are read as paradigmatic texts for interpreting problematic postcolonial relationships. The article contributes to discussions related to colonialism and the hidden agenda of neo-colonialism, which are often interpreted in terms of western economic interests underlying cultural expansion. The article demonstrates how African postcolonial writers have striven to reverse this trend by promoting Africa’s cultural aesthetics as they represent indigenous ways of life and their problematic interaction with western cultural patterns. The discussed works focus on cultural canons related to African life, such as consultation with oracles, ancestor worship, and festivals; and they demonstrate the aesthetic specifics of African dance, music, songs, and their semiotic significance. The article concludes that even though the two plays “speak back” to power, their strength lies in the articulation of certain aesthetic patterns that contribute to African self-location. Thus, the plays not only attempt to assert African culture, but they also strive to rethink the meanings of western cultural imperialism.
Varia: The Enduring Power of the Classical World View
Authors:   Paisii Hilendarski University of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, Jenkins David
Published: November 2021

For the poet, prophet, and politician, as for the lover, the king, and the anthropologist, the human is the measure of all things. Philosophers and psychologists define us as a perceiving consciousness, an object determined by the environment, a subject not only capable of heroic individualism but also of esoteric understanding. For some, our measure is beyond things and our true worth lies not only in the here and now but rather in our freedom to transcend the bounds of self and prevail beyond the limits of temporality. For the artist, whose creative consciousness aims to redeem the human image from the constraints of brute anonymity, the questions about our status must be asked if not finally answered. The article considers the role that the classical world view plays in the process of artistic redemption. It looks at the Judeo-Christian and Classical legacies and their interpretations. Nineteenth-century Russian literature and religious philosophy are then analysed. The article winds up with a reading of select poems by Osip Mandelstam as special attention is paid to the ethical stance of the poet when confronted with the dictates of totalitarian power.
Varia: Mary Robinson’s Lyrical Tales (1800): The Horrors of Alienation, War, Slavery, and Social Segregation
Authors:   University of Sofia, Bulgaria, Rosenova Rayna
Published: November 2021

The article discusses a selection of poems from Mary Robinson’s Lyrical Tales (1800), offering a close reading to show how Robinson engaged with pertinent historical issues, such as slavery, war and power relations, that marked the last decade of the eighteenth century. It explores Robinson’s use of Gothic and sublime aesthetics to communicate the ruptures found in society and to represent various states of otherness. In the poems under discussion, the Gothic is used to externalize both psychological and social collapse, communicating the sense of instability, vulnerability, alienation, anxiety, and fragmentation. Robinson’s use of Gothic conventions creates a gloomy atmosphere which seeks to accentuate the ills of eighteenth-century British politics and society and to engage the reader sympathetically.

Eastward Ho! Aspects of Eastern European Writing Translated into Irish
Authors:   College Road, Cork, Ireland, Titley Alan
Published: November 2021

The article focuses on translations into Irish of literary texts by writers from several central and eastern European countries. The author adopts a historical approach by first drawing attention to the Irish language as a means of literary expression and a vehicle for the translation of classical texts in the Middle Ages. Irish came under sustained attack because of English rule from the seventeenth century onwards and was only spoken by the poor and the marginalized in the middle of the nineteenth century. However, towards the end of the nineteenth century the language experienced a revival. The latter process was intensified following the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. In 1926, a project for literacy and provision of reading material in the Irish language was implemented, and a government publishing company known as An Gúm started producing books for the new Irish-reading public. Since the start of the project, the general tendency has been for books by western European writers to be translated into Irish. However, a significant number of texts by eastern and central European authors, ranging from classics by Tolstoy and Chekhov to novels and short stories by contemporary Russian and Slovenian authors, have also been published over the years.
Book Review: Bulgarian Literature as World Literature, edited by Mihaela P. Harper and Dimitar Kambourov (Review Essay)
Authors:   ", Tsoneva Petya ,   St. Cyril and Methodius",   University of Veliko Tarnovo
Published: November 2021

The essay reviews a recent collection of seminal critical readings of Bulgarian literature as “world literature.” Published by Bloomsbury Academic, the volume under discussion contributes to the study of the dynamic interaction of “minor” literatures with local, regional, and wider manifestations of global literary space. It is organized in four sections of thematic contributions authored by scholars from Bulgaria and beyond that discuss historical, geographical, economic, and genetic processes in the development of Bulgarian literature. The review follows the sections closely, and is attentive to specific phenomena, positions, texts, and contexts that render the concept of “minor literature” negotiable and open to reformulations. As most of the static labels are nowadays flushed into the conglomerate of “marginocentricity” and the reality of “quality literature” is no longer a criterion in the admission of local literatures to worldwide prominence, literary circulation has, to a great extent, become a function of the global market. The publication of the reviewed volume is the outcome of a vigorous effort to establish Bulgaria’s literary location within these processes and beyond them.

Published: November 2021

The relevance of this topic is due to the creative nature of investment attraction activities in order to ensure the development of the country and regions. The importance of the problem is in the presence of obstacles in the way of building an attractive economic system in terms of investment inflows, creating conditions that encourage investors to invest in Russia. The purpose of research based on the generalization of theoretical material of various sources and analysis of Rosstat database, to characterize the development of investment processes in Russia, to determine the patterns of changes in the dynamics of investment indicators and the factors causing the activity of participants in investment activities in Russian regions. The research was conducted using scientific methods: abstraction, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction. The result showed that the activity of the Russian regions in the investment area is characterized by dependence on the level of overall economic development, although this relationship is a two-way. In conclusion, it was concluded that the creation of favorable conditions for the development of investment activities and its active support by the federal and regional authorities is necessary. It is advisable to offer to continuously improve legislation in the field of investment activity, to pursue a more flexible policy of financing investment and innovative projects, especially at the early stages of their development. This is the key to successful planning and implementation of projects aimed at strengthening the sovereignty of the state and improving the quality of life of citizens in new Russia.
Insulting in English and Iraqi-Arabic: A Pragmatic Study
Authors: Igaab Zainab Kadim
Published: November 2021

Crimes are committed by uttering words or expressions, writing or signifying in a public way like insulting which is one of the crimes against public welfare. This crime has been dealt with and compared legally but its linguistic aspect has not been given much attention. This study tries to emphasize this crime pragmatically and contrastively in English and Arabic. No study has shed light on such aspects concerning the study under investigation. The researcher has not found any previous related study to get a benefit from about this topic. The aim of this study is to shed light on the points of similarity and difference in strategies of insulting in terms of speech act, implicature and impoliteness theories between English and Arabic. The present study hypothesizes the following: In terms of the three theories mentioned above, English and Arabic have points of similarities in strategies of insulting. To support or refute the hypothesis of the study, data consisting of 20 complaints in English and Arabic were collected from Courts of Appeal in Iraq, Britain and the United States. They are analyzed in terms of an eclectic model. The results arrived at are: English and Arabic are different in insulting in terms of the locutionary acts and illocutionary acts. Concerning impoliteness, the same strategies are applied to insulting in both languages. As far as implicature is concerned, the two languages are different in insulting.
Electro-Hydraulic Drive of the Variable Ratio Lifting Device under Active Load
Authors: Kosucki Andrzej , Stawiński Łukasz , Morawiec Adrian , Goszczak Jarosław
Published: November 2021

Hydraulic systems fed by fixed displacement pumps driven by frequency-controlled electric motors can replace conventional throttling systems due to their ability to control the speed of hydraulic cylinders regardless of the value and direction of the load. These systems can improve the energy efficiency of the drive or even provide the possibility of energy recuperation during lowering. This paper presents experimental studies of the new drive system with volumetric control of the speed of the lifted/lowered payload using the example of a scissor lift. The system uses a reversible gear pump driven by an asynchronous motor fed by a frequency inverter operating in field-oriented control mode. Comparative studies of the mapping of the assumed speed of the hydraulic cylinder and platform are presented, as well as studies of the influence of the load change on the speed and positioning of the mechanism driven by the open-loop controlled system.

Published: November 2021

Latent heat thermal energy storage heat exchangers store heat energy by virtue of the phase transition that occurs in the thermal storage media. Since phase change materials (PCMs) are utilized as the media, there is a critical necessity for the appropriate selection of the PCM utilized. Since multiple thermo-physical properties and multiple PCMs are required to be evaluated for the selection, there arises a need for multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) algorithms to be adopted for the selection. But owing to the different weight estimation techniques employed and the voluminous quantity of selection algorithms available, there arises a need for a comparative methodology to be adopted. This study was intended to select an optimal PCM for a sustainable steam cooking application coupled with a thermal energy storage system. In this research study, six PCMs were chosen as the alternatives and five thermo-physical properties were chosen as the criteria for the evaluation. 11 different algorithms were augmented with 3 different weight estimation techniques and therefore a total of 33 algorithms were employed in this study. All of the algorithms have chosen Erythritol as the optimal PCM for the application. The outcomes of the MCDM algorithms have been validated through an intricate Pearson’s correlation coefficient study.

Este trabalho foi motivado pela observação do elevado tempo de fluxo dos veículos nos centros de distribuição das empresas. Portanto, esse artigo se propõe a criar modelos que sequenciem de forma eficiente a entrada e saída de veículos do centro cross docking, minimizando o resultado de um dos principais indicadores nas organizações logísticas: o tempo de permanência dos veículos. Com o intuito de melhorar a eficiência computacional dos modelos propostos, realiza-se o estudo das variáveis e parâmetros envolvidos na programação linear inteira mista propondo opções para a redução do tempo de execução. Os modelos apresentados são baseados em variáveis de alocação considerando restrições de múltiplas docas. A experimentação computacional foi realizada por meio de um conjunto de 160 problemas-testes e os resultados evidenciaram que a diferença entre a quantidade de veículos de entrada e saída conseguem melhor explicar a proporcionalidade de resultados do que as atribuições de variáveis isoladas.

Selected problems in auditing the financial statements of credit institutions
Authors: Wielgórska-Leszczyńska Joanna
Published: November 2021

The article presents issues deserving special attention in the area of auditing the financial statements ofcredit institution. Without a doubt, these are the financial instruments, including credit exposures. To properly audit these instruments it is required to verify the accuracy of the valuation. Such verification in the case of credit exposures is preceded by appropriate category qualification followed by impair-ment write-off determined considering the established security. Thus, the audit process is complex and requires assessment by the auditor of exogenous and endogenous factors affecting the operation ofcredit institutions.
Faglege identitetsforhandlingar i ein fleirstemmig norsklærarrøyndom
Authors: Halvorsen Øyvind Wiik
Published: November 2021

Denne artikkelen legg eit dialogisk og sosiokulturelt perspektiv til grunn for å undersøkje tilhøvet mellom fagleg identitet og læraraktørskap (teacher agency). Eitt intervju med ein norsklærarar i vidaregåande skule vert analysert som døme på korleis lærarar forhandlar fagleg identitet mellom personlege erfaringar og sosiale språk og talesjangrar som vert tilbydde av røyster i læraren sin sosiokulturelle kontekst. Tilhøvet mellom dei ulike røystene kan verte forstått som ei produktiv spenning der læraren aktivt tek stilling til moglege norsklærar-posisjonar. Analysen syner korleis læraren utøver aktørskap ved å påverke eigen norsklæraridentitet, samstundes som læraren si gradvise erkjenning av eigen fagleg identitet vert ein ressurs for å gi retning til lærarverksemda. Artikkelen framhevar slik fagleg identitet, sosiale språk og talesjangrar si rolle i å forme læraraktørskap samt korleis fagleg identitet og aktørskap er knytt til lærarprofesjonalitet.
Query co-planning for shared execution in key-value stores

Published: November 2021

Key-value stores propose a straightforward yet powerful data model. Data is modeled using key-value pairs where values can be arbitrary objects and written/read using the key associated with it. In addition to their simple interface, such data stores also provide read operations such as full and range scans. However, due to the simplicity of its interface, trying to optimize data accesses becomes challenging. This work aims to enable the shared execution of concurrent range and point queries on key-value stores. Thus, reducing the overall data movement when executing a complete workload. To accomplish this, we analyze different possible data structures and propose our variation of a segment tree, Updatable Interval Tree. Our data structure helps us co-planning and co-executing multiple range queries together and reduces redundant work. This results in executing workloads more efficiently and overall increased throughput, as we show in our evaluation.
Do more demanding lower secondary school certificates for minority students pay off? A comparison of VET access between Germany and German-speaking Switzerland
Authors: Nennstiel Richard

Dieser Beitrag vergleicht ethnische Nachteile beim Übergang von der Schule in die Berufsbildung zwischen Deutschland und der Deutschschweiz. Diese beiden Länder eignen sich aufgrund ihrer ähnlichen Schulsysteme, der Berufsstruktur und des Berufsbildungssystems für einen Vergleich. Zugleich unterscheiden sie sich bezüglich des gesellschaftlichen Ansehens der weniger anspruchsvollen Sekundarschulzweige. Ich konzentriere mich insbesondere auf die Frage, inwieweit sich dieser Unterschied auf den Signalwert der erworbenen Abschlüsse und damit auf den Übergang von der Schule in die Berufsbildung auswirken. Darüber hinaus betrachte ich die folgenden theoretischen Ansätze zur Erklärung ethnischer Unterschiede: differenzielle Ausstattung mit Humankapital, Theorien zur Diskriminierung und Bildungsaspirationen. Meine Analysen basieren auf zwei Panelstudien: der DAB-Panelstudie für die Deutschschweiz und CILS4EU für Deutschland. Zur Schätzung der Eintrittsquoten in die Berufsbildung berechne ich lineare Mehrebenen-Wahrscheinlichkeitsmodelle (N = 1.682). Meine Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass es länderspezifische Unterschiede bei den Premiums für den Besitz anspruchsvollerer Schulabschlüsse der Sekundarstufe I gibt. In Deutschland profitieren Schüler*innen ohne Migrationshintergrund sehr viel stärker vom Besitz eines Sekundarschulabschlusses mit erweiterten Anforderungen als Schüler*innen mit Migrationshintergrund, während in der Schweiz keine Gruppenunterschiede in den Premiums feststellbar sind.
Die Fusionierung von Kirche und Staat im Schulwesen Eine historisch-vergleichende Analyse der schulischen Säkularisierung in Deutsch- land, Österreich und Schweden
Authors: Gordt Simon
Published: November 2021

Während seiner Institutionalisierung wandelte sich das ursprünglich konfessionelle Schulwesen zu einem öffentlich-rechtlichen Schulsystem. In einer historisch-vergleichenden Analyse wird die schulische Säkularisierung im deutschen, österreichischen und schwedischen Schulsystem hinsichtlich seiner institutionellen Kontrolle rekonstruiert. Ziel ist es zu erklären, warum trotz unterschiedlicher Rahmenbedingungen die nationalen Säkularisierungspfade dem gleichen Verlaufsmuster folgen, das sich durch eine grundlegende Arbeitsteilung zwischen Kirche und Staat auszeichnet. Anstatt dass die Kirche allmählich aus der Schule verdrängt worden wäre, gelingt es ihr, einen konfessionellen Religionsunterricht an allen öffentlichen Schulen autonom zu verantworten, weswegen in allen drei Ländern konfessionelle Privatschulen nur einen marginalen Teil der öffentlichen Schulen ausmachen. Es wird argumentiert, dass die verschiedenen Konfigurationen des nationalstaatlichen Kontexts, der sich zwischen dem 16. und 18. Jahrhundert ausbildete, in Verbindung mit dem sich wandelnden Staat-Kirchen-Verhältnis des 19. Jahrhunderts den Säkularisierungsverlauf erklären können.
The Human Touch: The Impact of Anthropomorphism in Chatbots on the Perceived Success of Solution Focused Coaching

Published: November 2021

This study explores how a chatbot can be used to support coachees to define and implement goals. It examines how the chatbot has to be designed to ensure that its coaching is successful. In this context anthropomorphism - the transmission of human qualities to non-human objects - should increase the acceptance of the chatbot and the perceived effectiveness of the coaching. While there are several studies on the perceived humanity of chatbots, no research has investigated the effects of anthropomorphic chatbots on the success of coaching. In an online experiment, participants (n = 44) performed randomised coaching with either a high or low anthropomorphic chatbot. Operationalizing a model of the effects of solution-focused individual coaching, the coachees were surveyed. The analysis shows that they were significantly more satisfied with the highly anthropomorphic chatbot, and rated the relationship building as well as the effectiveness of the coaching higher than by the less anthropomorphic chatbot. Therefore, the anthropomorphic representation of a chatbot in an online coaching session has a strong impact on its success.
