O populismo no Brasil
Authors: Gomes Angela de Castro
Published: August 2022

Este texto foi pronunciado como Conferência de Encerramento do XIX Congresso Internacional da AHILA, realizado em Paris, em agosto de 2021, por via remota. Ele faz uma reflexão sobre a trajetória do conceito de populismo, tendo os debates historiográficos ocorridos no Brasil, especialmente a partir dos anos 1970, como base. A posição crítica da autora, assinalada em trabalhos anteriores, é retomada sob o estímulo de se pensar os chamados neopopulismos, no caso do Brasil, o do desgoverno Bolsonaro. Defende-se que, se como conceito, o populismo não é teórica ou empiricamente sustentável, como categoria de acusação tem e terá largo trânsito.
Aspekty analizy fundamentalnej oraz technicznej na przykładzie spółki CD Projekt
Authors: Hańczyk Anna
Published: August 2022

Teza.  Celem artykułu jest ukazanie, że koncepcja analizy fundamentalnej, opartej na monitorowaniu wydarzeń ekonomiczno-gospodarczych dotykających obszarów danej spółki, a także analizy technicznej polegającej na badaniu zachowania kursu ceny i nastrojów rynkowych, jest realną pomocą dla inwestora w podejmowaniu decyzji inwestycyjnych. Na przykładzie wykresów giełdowych Grupy Kapitałowej CD Projekt- polskiego producenta i dystrybutora gier wideo - ukazano relacje danych fundamentalnych do danych technicznych.
Metoda. Artykuł oparty jest na analizie i weryfikacji danych pochodzących z literatury przedmiotu, informacji wystosowanych przez media, a także wykresów giełdowych dostępnych na platformach internetowych.
Wyniki i wnioski.  Analiza fundamentalna CD Projekt ukazała, jaki wpływ mają wydarzenia dotyczące spółki na notowania. Inwestorzy sugerując się premierami długo oczekiwanych gier, chętniej kupują akcje, wiedząc iż spółka również jest nastawiona na zysk. W sytuacji, gdy premiera została opóźniona, wielu inwestorów wyprzedała akcje (notowania spadły o 7% po ogłoszeniu wiadomości). Analiza techniczna nie wymaga systematycznego monitorowania wydarzeń, aczkolwiek opiera się na zdobywaniu wiedzy z zakresu obserwacji wykresów giełdowych oraz wykorzystywania narzędzi służących do interpretacji sygnałów generowanych przez nastroje rynkowe.
Wartość poznawcza. W artykule zaprezentowano przykłady wydarzeń wynikających z analizy fundamentalnej oraz ich konsekwencje w cenie kursu, jak również wprowadzenie do tematu analizy technicznej oraz możliwości jakie wnoszą zastosowane w niej narzędzia.
Subiektywne definiowanie pojęcia racjonalności w relacji do wybranych aspektów podejmowania decyzji
Authors: Schoepp Paweł
Published: August 2022

Cel. Celem niniejszego badania było sprawdzenie, czy sposób interpretowania racjonalności przez osoby badane łączy się z ich decyzjami ekonomicznymi i skłonnościami do maksymalizowania.
Materiały i metody. Przeprowadzono badanie na 204 osobach w wieku głównie studenckim,z wykorzystaniem utworzonych definicji racjonalności, dwóch wariantów gry dyktator oraz Skali maksymalizacji, za pomocą platformy Qualtrics.
Wyniki. Najważniejsze wyniki sugerują, że sposób rozumienia racjonalności powiązany jest z wysokością ofert składanych w grach dyktator - związek jest dodatni dla filozoficznej definicji, zaś negatywny dla ekonomicznej. Jednocześnie wyniki na Skali maksymalizacji wykazały (częściowo) istotne związki z ofertami składanymi w grze dyktator. Osoba badana, która preferowała ekonomiczną definicję racjonalności, była mężczyzną, osiągała wysoki poziom na Skali maksymalizacji oraz studiowała kierunek ekonomiczny, miała największą skłonność do składania niższych ofert w grze dyktator.
Wnioski. Badanie pokazuje, że sposób definiowania i rozumienia racjonalności może być powiązany w istotny sposób z tym, jak dana osoba zarządza pieniędzmi – czy kieruje się preferencjami zorientowanymi prospołecznie, czy też jej wybory są bardziej egoistyczne. Kontynuowanie tychże rozmyślań w teorii oraz praktyce może przyczynić się do rozwoju i uaktualnienia fundamentalnych terminów (i przyjętych wobec nich stanowisk) w psychologii, filozofii i ekonomii.
Słowa kluczowe: racjonalność, altruizm, gra dyktator, maksymalizacja

Effect of fiber hybridization on mechanical properties of concrete
Authors: He Fengzhen , Biolzi Luigi , Carvelli Valter
Published: August 2022

Ten concrete mixtures, using long and medium length hooked-end and short wave-shaped steel fibers, were designed to experimentally investigate the effect of hybrid reinforcement on workability, drying shrinkage, and mechanical properties of hybrid steel fiber reinforced concrete. The steel fibers reduced the workability and drying shrinkage. Hybrid fibers, including long hooked-end steel fiber, can produce a synergistic effect on compressive strength. For the adopted materials, a linear relationship was observed between shrinkage strain and compressive strength. The tensile splitting strength increased with the volume fraction of the hybrid fibers. The hybrid steel fibers generated a synergistic effect on the tensile splitting strength, with an almost constant ratio of tension splitting strength to compressive strength of hooked-end steel fiber reinforced concrete. The use of long hooked-end steel fiber reinforcement led to a higher modulus of rupture, residual strength, and toughness than other mono fibers. Flexural strength increased with the increasing volume fraction of hybrid fibers. Residual strength of hybrid steel fiber reinforced concrete varied with fiber hybridization. Overall, a concrete reinforced with a hybrid mix of all the considered steel fibers had the best performance among the considered ones.
Importance of 3D analyses on static and seismic stability of jointed open-pit mine slopes
Authors: Azhari Amin , Yarahmadi Bafghi Alireza , Faramarzi Lohrasb , Salamat Mamakani Ramin
Published: August 2022

Most studies on open-pit mine stability have been performed in two-dimensional (2D) mode, which neglects the effect of the circular shape and thus the effect of third-direction boundary conditions. The aim of this work was to study the effect of the third dimension on static and dynamic stability analyses of pit slopes by comparing results from two- and three-dimensional (3D) numerical and limit equilibrium analyses. Geomechanical data from Choghart open-pit mine, located in the seismically active area of central Iran, were considered under a historical earthquake (M = 6.4). Kinematic analyses showed that two tectonic blocks of the mine – BL1 and BL2 – are susceptible to wedge and planar failures, respectively. The 2D and 3D static analyses showed that both blocks are stable, with higher safety factors (SFs) obtained using numerical 3D analyses. In the dynamic analyses, both 2D and 3D analyses showed wedge instability for BL1. However, for BL2, the 2D numerical analyses showed instability whereas the 3D numerical and pseudo-static analyses indicated block stability. The results revealed that the 3D SFs are generally 20–40% greater than those from 2D analyses. This can be explained by the consideration of the third-direction effect, verifying the importance of 3D analyses.
Development and characterisation of cooked inlaid sausages with fillet and mechanically separated meat of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Authors: Cavenaghi-Altemio Angela Dulce , Zitkoski João Luiz , Fonseca Gustavo Graciano
Published: August 2022

The limited consumption of fish is due to a limited availability of products based on this type of meat. Therefore, innovation and development of products that meet consumers’ preferences are essential. The aim of this work was to develop and characterize cooked inlaid sausages prepared with fillet and mechanically separated Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) meat (MSM). Three sausages types were considered, F1 (100% MSM), F2 (50% MSM, 50% fillet) and F3 (25% MSM, 75% fillet). Microbiological quality of the raw materials and products obtained were within the standard limits. F1 had the lowest protein (34.68%) and the highest lipid (2.88%) contents. F1 and F2 had the highest luminosity L*, which was related to the MSM composition, as the L* was higher as the percentage of MSM increased in the formulation. The shear strength was higher for F2 (18.55 N) and lower for F1 (6.43 N) and differed among sausages types. The F2 sausages presented a better acceptability regarding the sensory attributes evaluated, with acceptation indexes of 88.00, 85.55, and 84.66% for flavour, texture, and odour respectively. This finding indicates that this formulation would be very well accepted in the market if available for commercialisation.
Explorando a relação entre redes espaciais na escala regional e indicadores econômicos das cidades: o caso do RS
Authors: Maraschin Clarice , Corrêa Letícia Xavier , Damiani Renato Maciel
Published: August 2022

A estrutura espacial de cidades e regiões vem se tornando mais complexa, sendo que as interações sócio-espaciais que ocorrem em redes de cidades parecem ter um papel importante, influenciando o potencial econômico dos municípios. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma metodologia que permita analisar o papel da configuração da rede espacial de municípios no seu desempenho econômico. A investigação se insere na área da morfologia urbana, através de um enfoque sistêmico e quantitativo, no campo dos estudos configuracionais urbanos. Toma-se como estudo empírico a rede de cidades no Rio Grande do Sul. O modelo da rede espacial (grafo) é constituído pelos municípios (nós) e pelas rodovias (ligações), sendo calculadas as medidas de acessibilidade e centralidade configuracional. Os resultados destas medidas são então relacionados a atributos econômicos dos municípios (PIB e VAB) através de uma análise estatística de clusters. O estudo empírico revelou evidências de que um bom desempenho dos municípios na rede configuracional está associado a indicadores econômicos específicos: maior PIB, maiores valores de VAB indústria e serviços e menores valores de VAB agropecuária. As conclusões procuram discutir as potencialidades e limitações da abordagem utilizada para a compreensão da estrutura espacial regional.
Capacidad de respuestas a demandas institucionales del campo organizacional de la cadena de carne bovina. Mapeamento y métricas de propiedades estructurales en Brasil y Argentina
Authors: Pacheco Dias Marcelo Fernandes , Scoponi Liliana Marcela
Published: August 2022

El Neoinstitucionalismo sociológico plantea que las respuestas organizacionales a las demandas institucionales dependen de cómo se estructura la red de actores de un campo organizacional. Frente a la necesidad de profundizar su mapeo empírico, este artículo propone un marco de medidas para valorar las propiedades estructurales de los campos organizacionales de la cadena de la carne bovina de Brasil y Argentina en dos grandes zonas productoras, que permita evaluar su capacidad de respuesta a crecientes demandas institucionales del ámbito agroalimentario. Se identificaron de la revisión bibliográfica cinco propiedades de la red: apertura, centralización, densidad de actores centrales y vínculos con periféricos y atributos de gatekeepers y brokers, asociados a métricas de análisis de redes sociales. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo comparativo cuantitativo, con base en fuentes secundarias y primarias, utilizando el software UCINET 6. Se observó que ambos campos organizacionales están abiertos a la innovación, aunque tienen actores centrales descoordinados con baja vinculación con universidades y organismos de investigación y diferentes características para absorber y transferir demandas y asociar actores centrales y periféricos. La principal contribución es la aplicación de un referencial teórico apoyado en un estudio empírico habitualmente no empleado para el análisis de cadenas agroalimentarias.
Escalaridad y periferia. Una reconstrucción conceptual desde un punto de vista histórico-estructural
Authors: Trucco Ignacio , Fernández Victor Ramiro
Published: August 2022

La coexistencia de relaciones sociales que se definen en escalas territoriales diferentes y la estructuración asimétrica del espacio mundial, con posiciones centrales y periféricas, constituyen dos dimensiones centrales de la estructuración espacial de los sistemas socioeconómicos. Si bien estos dos momentos fueron extensamente estudiados, sus conexiones internas resultan un área relativamente menos explorada. En este marco, el trabajo tiene por objetivo explorar las relaciones intrínsecas entre dichos momentos, construyendo para ello una interpretación de carácter histórico-estructural. A fin de alcanzar dicho objetivo, se evalúan las contribuciones principales que se centraron en la especificidad de cada momento, movilizando diferentes teorías sobre la relación entre sociedad y espacio. En primer lugar, se analiza el desarrollo teórico de la cuestión escalar, mostrando cómo el giro relacional constituyó la apuesta teórica clave de la articulación entre la unidad mundial del proceso de acumulación de capital y su estructuración espacial en múltiples escalas. En segundo lugar, se sintetizan las limitaciones que esta opción enfrenta al jerarquizarse la contingencia como fundamento de su aprehensión conceptual. En tercer lugar, se tomó un criterio simétrico para estudiar las teorías de la dependencia y estructuralismo latinoamericano, mostrando cómo, particularmente en este último caso, anidan potencialidades teóricas para sintetizar la escalaridad y la estructuración espacial asimétrica de los sistemas socioeconómicos. El trabajo concluye, observando que esto último depende de volver sobre la especificidad histórico-estructural de la modernización periférica considerando las formas específicas en las que la territorialidad y las relaciones capitalistas de producción se articulan.

Published: August 2022

As migrações dos indígenas têm recebido atenção crescente de estudiosos de diversos países, tanto por sua intensificação quanto pelos desafios interpretativos trazidos pelo fenômeno. O presente artigo investiga a migração e a mobilidade espacial de um grupo de indígenas Pataxó que vive entre a Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte e o sul do Estado da Bahia. As análises foram realizadas com base em uma metodologia qualitativa de pesquisa, a partir de entrevistas feitas com os migrantes. O referencial teórico utilizado no texto destaca as transformações por que vem passando o fenômeno migratório, com  criação de espaços híbridos e redes territoriais multilocais de sobrevivência. Esses aspectos são observados entre diversos tipos de migrantes, incluindo indígenas de vários países latinoamericanos.  Os resultados da presente análise alinham-se com esses estudos, ao descreverem o processo pelo qual os Pataxó articulam pontos do território em uma rede multilocal, criada através de um processo de migração e mobilidade espacial que cria conexões entre esses locais. O estudo também especifica os elementos dinamizadores dos deslocamentos espaciais que garantem sua perpetuação ao longo do tempo.

Background. Pyrolysis is a promising environmentally friendly thermal method to process municipal solid waste (MSW). Pyrolysis makes it possible to obtain a combination of solid, liquid, and gaseous products in various proportions by changing the operating parameters of the process. Thermal processing of MSW is carried out in special furnaces, thermal reactors. At present, the processes of the pyrolysis technology Purox, Torrax Noell and others are carried out in thermal reactors of various designs that have their own advantages and disadvantages. The design of a furnace is to meet several requirements, such as high productivity, efficiency of operation, ensuring the specified technological conditions of the process, etc. The designed furnace is to meet modern requirements of science and technology in the field of heat and mass transfer theory, hydrodynamics, and technical aesthetics. Materials and methods. The studies have been carried out using the methods of physical and mathematical modeling, the ANSYS software package of finite element analysis. Results. Based on the results of physical and numerical studies, the values of the efficiency of the pyrolysis furnace have been obtained when MSW is heated at speeds of 5, 10 and 15 оС/min. Based on the results a rational operating mode of the installation has been chosen with a heating rate of 10 оС/min. Conclusions. The use of pyrolysis technology for waste disposal will reduce CO2 emissions by 17 % compared to traditional incineration. The proposed design of a pyrolysis furnace for the disposal of pre-prepared waste contributes to energy efficiency improvement of the process.

Background. Turbine feed pumps (TFP) are one of the main consumers of thermal energy for in-house needs of thermal power plants and nuclear power plants. Currently, much attention is paid to improve the efficiency of operation of turbine feed pumps. Thus, it is necessary to assess the impact of operational parameters. The problem is that it is necessary to process a large array of data. The solution to the problem is the development of a methodology that allows quantitative and qualitative assessment of operational parameters. Materials and methods. As initial data, the authors have used the data of 20 thermodynamic and hydraulic parameters recorded during the industrial operation of the TFP equipment and the equations of thermal balances to find the key performance indicators of the TFP. A complex of multidimensional statistical methods is used for data processing, i.e cluster and factor analysis in the Statistica software package. Results. A methodology to assess the impact of parameters on the operation efficiency of the TFP has been developed. The cluster analysis method is used to diagnose and classify the parameters under study. By the method of factor analysis, several parameters have been identified: feed water flow in the pipeline behind the TFP, differential pressure of water of the TFP, condensate flow in the pipeline behind the TFP condensate pumps, pressure drop of circulating water before and after the TFP condenser, condensate temperature of the drive turbine. The analysis of the results has showed that the identified parameters are the main components of the useful power of the turbine feed pump and the criteria for the efficiency of the TFP. Conclusions. The proposed methodology makes it possible to carry out a quantitative and qualitative assessment of operational parameters, solve the problem of processing large amounts of information, reduce the time and complexity of calculations. The results obtained are based on the developed methodology and can be used to design a statistical model using neural network technologies. This methodology can be chosen to evaluate the operation of technological systems and subsystems at thermal power plants and nuclear power plants.
Trends in Revision ACL Reconstruction: Analysis of 257 Procedures
Authors: Saprykin Aleksandr S. , Ryabinin Mikhail V. , Kornilov Nikolai N.
Published: August 2022

Background. Despite the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) is considered to be routine and successful procedure the burden of patients who needs revision surgery is growing worldwide.
Purpose to describe the gender and social-demographic characteristics of this cohort of patients, analyze the reasons leading to revision ACL-R (re-ACL-R), estimate survival-ship of primary procedure as well as highlight clinically relative aspects of revision surgery.
Methods. The database of Vreden Orthopaedic Center for the period from 01.01.2011 to 31.12.2021 searched for patients admitted for re-ACL-R. 234 patients (257 knees) agreed to take part in the study. Patient records with surgery reports, clinical exams and PROMs were analyzed.
Results. There was a tendency to annual increase of re-ACL-R while the time between primary and revision procedures was just 4.0 years in average. Young males dominated among re-ACL-R cohort (75.2%, 31.0 years). The acute trauma prevailed over other reasons of ACL-R failure however, it was absent in 39.1% of cases. Patients who injured performing sports were significantly younger than the rest of the cohort (p = 0.005). Allografts were the most popular choice both for first re-ACL-R (53.0%) and re-revision ACL-R (60.9%). Interestingly that majority of re-ACL-R were performed in one stage while two-staged approach implemented only in 4.3% of cases.
Conclusion. The main cause for re-ACL-R is repeated injury but significant percentage of patients develops recurrence of instability without trauma in middle-term period after ACL-R. Therefore to reduce the numbers of re-ACL-R both the proper post-op sport injury prevention program and improvement of surgical technique are of the same importance.
Innovative Clinical Trial Study Design Adoption and Performance Impacts
Authors:   , Bubb Veronica Leah , Lee Jeongsik , Tzabbar Daniel
Published: August 2022

The adoption of innovative clinical trial designs has the potential to provide benefits for patients, sponsoring and regulatory organizations. Despite many efforts by various organizations to help modernize the industry through higher rates of innovative design usage, adoption of these designs remains low. This research aims to investigate the and explore the landscape of innovative trial designs and potential factors that may influence the adoption and understanding of innovative design usage. As grounding and exploration across the industry, semi-qualitative interviews were conducted and influenced the development of the theories and analysis in this research. Registry data was utilized to explore variables measuring information disclosure and regulatory compliance to understand potential relatedness to innovative design usage. The performance impacts of innovative design use was then explored as measurements of cost and duration of study timelines. Overall, the results suggest that sponsors are unwilling to share investigational documents (protocol and statistical analysis plan) for innovative designs and are more likely to be overdue in reporting results. Trials that use an innovative design are also more likely to have more complete registrations at the time of entry into the registry based on required and voluntary fields at the time of registration. Innovative design usage does vary depending on the phase of the clinical trial which is supportive of appropriateness of fit of the innovation. The results also suggest that there is a tendency to do what is known or what was done before or to imitate competitor products. There are mixed views regarding the perceived cost of innovation, however there is a universal sense of hope that innovative designs have the potential for cost-savings. Finally, there are fears around failure and scrutiny from regulatory agencies which influence the process of design selection and development of a protocol. The performance model analysis showed that innovative designs cost more and take longer typically than traditional trial designs. This analysis provided results while counterintuitive perhaps suggest that cost and timeline savings are more on the overall clinical development plan than on the individual clinical trial. The limitations of the public registry have been acknowledged in this research and while this dissertation was being finalized a program to update the public registry was initiated. Hopefully the registry updates will include operational elements to support the need for further transparency. Future analysis could then leverage these factors and evaluate the robustness of these findings. Finally, further research should be conducted to evaluate impacts of innovative design use on the overall clinical program.
The Role of Music Therapy in Older Adults' Transition into Long-Term Care Communities
Authors:   , Schneible Brigette K. , Bradt Joke
Published: August 2022

Transition to a nursing home can be a challenging period for older adults with high risk for negative outcomes, including depression, anxiety, and fear. However, few studies to date have examined psychosocial interventions for improving adaptation during the transition of older adults to nursing homes. Music therapy is one psychosocial intervention with potential to enhance related protective factors because it emphasizes individual strengths by leveraging culture-specific resources, facilitates relationships and a sense of belonging through joint music making, and provides opportunities to process and make sense of one's experiences in the "new normal" through sharing of music-related emotions. The purpose of this study was to explore the perspectives of older adult long-term care residents, their care team staff, and their music therapists to develop a conceptual framework for the role of music therapy in older adults' transition and adjustment to nursing homes. This study used a grounded theory approach. Seventeen participants, including 10 residents, four care staff, and three music therapists, completed a total of 19 interviews about residents' experiences with music, with music therapy, and with moving in and adjusting to long-term care. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding. The resulting Music Therapy in Transition to Long-Term Care model describes a progression of qualities and benefits of music therapy that leads to residents "feeling their best self." Related categories include: Music therapy is accessible and engaging; Music therapy is personal and meaningful; Music therapy acts as a bridge to other resources; Music therapy facilitates transformation; and Music therapy facilitates community integration. This Music Therapy in Transition to Long-Term Care model emphasizes a holistic and integrated understanding of and approach to transition-related needs. It highlights the process of transformation and change that is part of the adjustment process and provides a foundation for clinical assessment and interventions. This model suggests that the unique role of music therapy in transition includes its ability to reach residents earlier and at a more meaningful level than many other activities or support opportunities, and to help make other supportive opportunities more effective. Future research is needed for continued testing and refining of this theory.
Lp Estimates for Solutions to BSDEs and BDSDEs and Zero Knowledge Proofs for Flow Free and Related Graph Problems
Authors:   , Hart Eammon , Song Xiaoming
Published: August 2022

This dissertation is composed of two main research projects. The first, which was conducted with my adviser Xiaoming Song as a continuation of her work with with her previous student Nathan Anderson-Stahl. In that chapter, we consider a class of general backward stochastic differential equations and backward doubly stochastic differential equations to provide a standard method to prove the existence and uniqueness of the Lp solutions and to obtain the Lp estimates for the solutions. The other project was conducted in collaboration with Josh McGinnis and corresponds to the second chapter in which we provide a physical zero knowledge proof for the popular app game Flow Free. We then show that the methodology can be extended to provide zero knowledge proofs for the related graph problems of the paired many-to-many disjoint covering path problem, the unpaired many-to-many disjoint covering path problem and Hamiltonian cycles.

Published: August 2022

В статье исследуются закономерности развития современного национального информационного пространства в контексте эффективности государственного управления рисками в условиях продолжающейся цифровой трансформации общественных отношений. Автором предлагается концептуальный проект формирования перспективной конституционно-правовой модели защиты информационного пространства (среды) Российской Федерации. Автор доказывает необходимость устранения пробелов в конституционно-правовом регулировании, которые создают благоприятные условия для экстерриториального применения норм иностранного права, необоснованного применения локальных нормативных актов транснациональных корпораций для обоснования дискриминационных мер к российским гражданам, организациям при их вступлении в гражданско-правовые отношения с иностранными лицами в пределах национального информационного пространства (среды).

The article examines the patterns of development of the modern national information space in the context of the effectiveness of public risk management in the conditions of the ongoing digital transformation of public relations. The author proposes a conceptual project for the formation of a promising constitutional and legal model for the protection of the information space (environment) of the Russian Federation. The author proves the need to eliminate gaps in constitutional and legal regulation, which create favorable conditions for the extraterritorial application of foreign law, the unjustified application of local regulations of transnational corporations to justify discriminatory measures against Russian citizens and organizations when they enter into civil relations with foreign persons within the national information space (environment).

In response to climate change and sustainable environment, the "circular economy" that reduces energy development and waste reuse is an important carbon reduction strategy in addition to developing green energy. Based on the circular economy theory of local materials and local use, combines quenched blast furnace slag and geopolymer technology to convert waste oysters into building materials bricks for effective utilization. Our goal is to "recycle" oyster shell waste, "reduce" carbon emissions from the manufacturing, and achieve "recycling". Innovative high-pressure bricks that meet local building material standard. The experiment results show that: 1. The ratios of oyster shell and quenched blast furnace slag were 7:3 and 5:5 respectively, made under the pressure of 110kgf/cm². Curing 28 days later, the compressive strength was 27.5MPa and 38.4MPa, respectively. The bending strength was 3.6MPa and the abrasion test was 1.94mm. 2. Crushing the original high-pressure bricks made of oyster shells, added oyster shell powder and quenched blast furnace slag, remade them in a ratio of 7:3. Curing 7 days later, the compressive strength can reach 41.46 and 51.66MPa.3. Each high-pressure brick made of oyster shells will produce 0.206 to 0.219kg CO₂ emissions, which is 49% to 52% fewer carbon emissions than the 0.422kg CO₂ emitted by each high-pressure concrete brick. 4.The remade oyster shell high-pressure reformed bricks will produce 0.295 to 0.304kg CO₂ emissions, which is 28% to 30% lesser carbon emissions than each high-pressure concrete brick. This result can prove that the oyster shell high-pressure bricks can pass Taiwan’s CNS and Green-building materials standard, comply with the circular economy and achieve the goal of net-zero carbon emissions.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the process of Indonesia language learning is held in online in which it needs supporting technological tools and innovative learning approaches or models to create interactive and interesting learning process of Indonesia language. A bibliometric analysis was used to provide the bibliographic and bibliometric review related to the emerging trends of technology-based foreign language learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. VOSviewer and Publish or Perish (PoP) were some software employed to analyze the documents published between 2020 and 2022 from the Scopus database. The results revealed that there were 100 publications and 199 citations regarding the use of technology in foreign language learning in which the development of the number of publications and citations relatively fluctuated. Digital platforms such as learning management systems and social media applications were the trending technologies supporting the foreign language learning process. Subsequently, the trending foreign language learning in the COVID-19 pandemic implemented distance or online learning involving blended learning, mobile learning, or remote learning. Therefore, this study specifically implicates the Indonesian language learning in which teachers or lecturers can implement distance or online learning in teaching the Indonesian language to prevent the deployment of COVID-19 supported by digital platforms.

Self-regulation play a key role on undergraduates’ knowledge, skills, and engagement in flipped classroom. However, some students cannot complete assignment due to failure of time management, which is a critical skill of self-regulation (SR). Therefore, a tool is required to support self-regulation. Assignment log is a key tool for maintaining self-regulation, including self-efficacy, time management, and help-seeking. This study aimed to study the usage of the assignment logs in flipped classroom and lecture based-learning on self-efficacy, time management, and help-seeking, compared with flipped classroom and lecture based-learning without the assignment logs. The participants included two groups, which one had 41 undergraduate students and another one consisted of 26 students who are part of an electronic engineering program at a large technical university in Bangkok, Thailand. The ANOVA results revealed that there was different self-efficacy, time management, and help seeking between learning with the assignment log and other lecture-based learning without the assignment log and flipped classroom without the assignment log. Students who have learned with the assignment log perceived self-efficacy and time management more than lecture-based learning method and flipped classroom methods. This study provides insight into the importance of the assignment logs to support students’ self-regulation.

Higher education around the world has moved to online teaching due to COVID-19 pandemic. Students in higher education are compelled to attend online classes and adopt e-learning mode. There is not much evidence on training the students to adopt e-learning and remote learning. However, do they have a positive attitude towards e-learning and has it affected their academic performance? Present study administered an e-learning attitude scale to 840 students of a reputed University to examine whether they have positive or avoidance attitude to e-learning and also analysed e-learning attitude across students demographic characteristics. Study revealed a slight positive correlation between e-learning attitude and academic achievement of postgraduate students and not for undergraduate students. Girls’ excelled in their achievement and have a more positive e-learning attitude than boys have. Boys showed avoidance e-learning attitude. However, Socio Economic Status (SES) did not affect students’ e-learning attitude but influenced their academic achievement. Study concludes that stakeholders must create more opportunities to develop a positive attitude towards e-learning as future education is likely to be technology integrated.

Governments and higher education institutions around the world have expressed a strong opinion that entrepreneurship among students must be enhanced to address the concern of graduate employability post-pandemic. Supporting this agenda, the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia has launched a national Entrepreneurship Action Plan and a guide for Entrepreneurship Integrated Curriculum in 2021. While teaching entrepreneurship in higher education has gained great acceptance, transforming a traditional university to nurture student entrepreneurs is still challenging. A key challenge is to transform faculty-centric learning into multidisciplinary learning so that students from different disciplines can work cooperatively to enhance the success of an entrepreneurship venture. Hence, a design-based study has been conducted at a private university in Malaysia, with a cooperative procedural framework developed and improved through two cycles of implementation over one year period. The study was participated by academics and students from more than six disciplines including computing, design, business, bioscience, culinary art, and communication. The proposed framework highlights the importance of intentional alignment among the curriculum of collaborating courses, the mindset of collaborating academics and students, as well as the supporting ecosystem. The framework has expanded the practical knowledge of multidisciplinary learning implementation by detailing the practical steps to ensure its effective implementation. The proposed framework could be extremely helpful for institutions that are struggling to implement multidisciplinary learning across faculties, supporting the entrepreneurship agenda of the institutions.
