Authors: Alhomaidhi Alhanouf Ali , Alabiad Sami , Alsarori Nawal A.
Published: September 2024

Let u,v, and w be indeterminates over Fpm and let R=Fpm+uFpm+vFpm+wFpm, where p is a prime. Then, R is a ring of order p4m, and R≅Fpm[u,v,w]I with maximal ideal J=uFpm+vFpm+wFpm of order p3m and a residue field Fpm of order pm, where I is an appropriate ideal. In this article, the goal is to improve the understanding of linear codes over local non-chain rings. In particular, we investigate the symmetrized weight enumerators and generator matrices of linear codes of length N over R. In order to accomplish that, we first list all such rings up to the isomorphism for different values of the index of nilpotency l of J, 2≤l≤4. Furthermore, we fully describe the lattice of ideals of R and their orders. Next, for linear codes C over R, we compute the generator matrices and symmetrized weight enumerators, as shown by numerical examples.

Authors: Zhou Liping , Liu Xu , Tian Ruiqing , Wang Wuqi , Jin Guowei
Published: September 2024

The osprey optimization algorithm (OOA) is a metaheuristic algorithm with a simple framework, which is inspired by the hunting process of ospreys. To enhance its searching capabilities and overcome the drawbacks of susceptibility to local optima and slow convergence speed, this paper proposes a modified osprey optimization algorithm (MOOA) by integrating multiple advanced strategies, including a Lévy flight strategy, a Brownian motion strategy and an RFDB selection method. The Lévy flight strategy and Brownian motion strategy are used to enhance the algorithm’s exploration ability. The RFDB selection method is conducive to search for the global optimal solution, which is a symmetrical strategy. Two sets of benchmark functions from CEC2017 and CEC2022 are employed to evaluate the optimization performance of the proposed method. By comparing with eight other optimization algorithms, the experimental results show that the MOOA has significant improvements in solution accuracy, stability, and convergence speed. Moreover, the efficacy of the MOOA in tackling real-world optimization problems is demonstrated using five engineering optimization design problems. Therefore, the MOOA has the potential to solve real-world complex optimization problems more effectively.

Published: September 2024

Systematic management of corporate safety risks in industrial parks has become a hot topic. And risk prevention and control mutual aid is a brand-new model in the risk and emergency management of the park. In the context of blockchain, how to incentivize enterprises to actively invest in safety risk prevention and control mutual aid has become a series of key issues facing government regulators. This paper innovatively combines Prospect Theory, Mental Accounting, and Evolutionary Game Theory to create a hypothetical model of limited rationality for the behavior of key stakeholders (core enterprises, supporting enterprises, and government regulatory departments) in mutual aid for safety risk prevention and control. Under the static prize punishment mechanism and dynamic punishment mechanism, the evolutionary stabilization strategy of stakeholders was analyzed, and numerical simulation analysis was performed through examples. The results show: (1) Mutual aid for risk prevention and control among park enterprises is influenced by various factors, including external and subjective elements, and evolves through complex evolutionary paths (e.g., reference points, value perception). (2) Government departments are increasingly implementing dynamic reward and punishment measures to address the shortcomings of static mechanisms. Government departments should dynamically adjust reward and punishment strategies, determine clearly the highest standards for rewards and punishments, and the combination of various incentives and penalties can significantly improve the effectiveness of investment decisions in mutual aid for safety risk prevention and control. (3) Continuously optimizing the design of reward and punishment mechanisms, integrating blockchain technology with management strategies to motivate enterprise participation, and leveraging participant feedback are strategies and recommendations that provide new insights for promoting active enterprise investment in mutual aid for safety risk prevention and control. The marginal contribution of this paper is to reveal the evolutionary pattern of mutual safety risk prevention and control behaviors of enterprises in chemical parks in the context of blockchain.

Published: September 2024

Leptospirosis is a disease caused by the bacteria of the Leptospira genus, which can usually be acquired by humans through contact with urine from infected animals; it is also possible for this urine to contaminate soils and bodies of water. The disease can have deadly consequences in some extreme cases. Fortunately, until now, patients with leptospirosis have responded adequately to treatment with doxycycline and azithromycin, and no cases of antibiotic resistance have been reported. However, with the extensive use of such medications, more bacteria, such as Staphylococci and Enterococci, are becoming resistant. The purpose of this study is to determine the presence of genes related to antibiotic resistance in the Leptospira genus using bioinformatic tools, which have not been undertaken in the past. Whole genomes from the 69 described Leptospira species were downloaded from NCBI’s GeneBank and analyzed using CARD (The Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistant Database) and RAST (Rapid Annotations using Subsystem Technology). After a detailed genomic search, 12 genes associated with four mechanisms were found: resistance to beta-lactamases, vancomycin, aminoglycoside adenylyltransferases, as well as multiple drug efflux pumps. Some of these genes are highly polymorphic among different species, and some of them are present in multiple copies in the same species. In conclusion, this study provides evidence of the presence of genes related to antibiotic resistance in the genomes of some species of the genus Leptospira, and it is the starting point for future experimental evaluation to determine whether these genes are transcriptionally active in some species and serovars.
Probing the Nonlinear Density Wave Theory of Spiral Galaxies by Baryonic Tully–Fisher Relation
Authors: Vukcevic Miroslava , Savic Djordje , Jovanović Predrag
Published: September 2024

The baryonic mass–velocity relation provides an important test of different galaxy dynamics models such as Lambda–cold dark matter (ΛCDM) and alternatives like Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). Novel nonlinear density wave theory with a soliton solution gives an opportunity to test whether the derived rotational velocity expression is able to support the well known Tully–Fisher empirical relation between mass and rotation velocity in disk galaxies. Initial assumptions do not involve any larger dark matter halo that supports the stability of the very thin galactic disk nor any modified gravitational acceleration acting on galactic scales. It rather follows an important gravitational interaction between constituents of disk mass in the outer part of the disk via gravitational potential. Data are obtained by a fitting procedure applied on the sample of 81 rotational curves of late type spirals using expressions for the rotational velocity derived as an exact, a self-consistent solution of the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation for galactic surface mass density. The location of these selected objects in the baryonic mass–rotation velocity plane follows the relation logMb=3.7±0.2logVflat+2.7±0.4 in marginal agreement with the findings in the literature.
Bioinformatics Goes Viral: I. Databases, Phylogenetics and Phylodynamics Tools for Boosting Virus Research
Authors: Vello Federico , Filippini Francesco , Righetto Irene
Published: September 2024

Computer-aided analysis of proteins or nucleic acids seems like a matter of course nowadays; however, the history of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology is quite recent. The advent of high-throughput sequencing has led to the production of “big data”, which has also affected the field of virology. The collaboration between the communities of bioinformaticians and virologists already started a few decades ago and it was strongly enhanced by the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemics. In this article, which is the first in a series on how bioinformatics can enhance virus research, we show that highly useful information is retrievable from selected general and dedicated databases. Indeed, an enormous amount of information—both in terms of nucleotide/protein sequences and their annotation—is deposited in the general databases of international organisations participating in the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC). However, more and more virus-specific databases have been established and are progressively enriched with the contents and features reported in this article. Since viruses are intracellular obligate parasites, a special focus is given to host-pathogen protein-protein interaction databases. Finally, we illustrate several phylogenetic and phylodynamic tools, combining information on algorithms and features with practical information on how to use them and case studies that validate their usefulness. Databases and tools for functional inference will be covered in the next article of this series: Bioinformatics goes viral: II. Sequence-based and structure-based functional analyses for boosting virus research.

Published: September 2024

Superovulation is a crucial step in assisted reproductive technology that involves the administration of gonadotrophins. Repeated superovulations result in severe ovarian damage. The present study investigated the effect of in vivo administration of lycopene on ovarian damage induced by four successive cycles of superovulation. Superovulated mice were simultaneously administered intraperitoneally with saline (R4) or 5 mg/kg lycopene (R4-Lyc). The evaluated parameters were the count of different types of follicles, expression of ovarian antioxidant- and apoptosis-related genes, and serum concentrations of estradiol, progesterone, and inhibin-B. Increased numbers of healthy follicles and a decreased count of atretic follicles were observed in mice of the R4-Lyc group compared to those of the R4 group. Moreover, significantly higher mRNA levels of Sod3, Cat, and Nrf2 and lower mRNA levels of Keap1, Tnf, Nfkb, and Casp3, together with decreased H2O2 concentrations and increased total antioxidant capacity, were detected in the ovaries of lycopene-treated mice. Regarding serum reproductive hormones, elevated concentrations of estradiol, progesterone, and inhibin-B were evident in lycopene-administered mice. The present study reports a significant role of lycopene in alleviating the ovarian damage induced by multiple hormonal superstimulations, which could help to improve the outcomes of in vitro embryo production.

Published: September 2024

Optic Atrophy (OA) can be associated with the development of microcystic macular edema (MME) in the perifoveal retinal inner nuclear layer (INL). We aimed here to retrospectively determine the prevalence of MME in patients with non-glaucomatous OA in our tertiary ophthalmology department between 2015 and 2020. We then examined how MME affected the thicknesses of the different retinal layers and the differences in demographic and clinical characteristics between those patients who developed MME and those who did not. A total of 643 eyes (429 patients) were included (mean age 45.9 ± 17.8 years, 52% female). MME developed in 95 (15%) eyes and across all etiologies of OA except for toxic/nutritional causes, but the prevalence of MME varied between the different etiologies. The development of MME was associated with thinning of the ganglion cell layer (11.0 vs. 9.6 μm; p = 0.001) and the retinal nerve fiber layer (10.1 vs. 9.15 μm; p = 0.024), with INL thickening in the 3- and 6-mm diameter areas of the central fovea. Patients developing MME had significantly worse distance best-corrected visual acuity than those not developing MME (0.62 vs. 0.38 logMAR; p = 0.002). Overall, the presence of MME in OA cannot be used to guide the diagnostic work-up of OA.

Published: September 2024

(1) Background: in this research study, colour vision was evaluated in individuals aged 19 to 70 years with and without red–green colour vision disorders. (2) Methods: study participant colour vision was assessed with anomaloscope, HRR, FM100 hue, and CAD tests. (3) Results: No significant correlation was found between participant age and chromatic sensitivity of the red–green colour opponent channel. However, a decrease in blue–yellow colour opponent channel chromatic sensitivity was confirmed with the FM100 hue test and CAD test. Analysis of FM100 hue test error scores across age groups revealed a decline in chromatic sensitivity in the short-wave region of visible light with increasing age. Comparison of the colour-deficient individual results of the CAD and anomaloscope tests confirmed that CAD test sensitivity and specificity reaches 100%. However, some individuals with deutan-type deficits were misclassified as having protan-type deficits. This study confirmed the effectiveness of the FM100 test in identifying individuals with moderate to severe colour vision deficits, with sensitivity and specificity rates of 81.25% and 95.38%. (4) Conclusions: It was found that the FM100 hue test effectively identifies individuals with moderate and severe red–green colour vision deficiencies. On the other hand, individuals with mild colour vision deficiencies may go undetected with the FM100 hue test.
Impact of Chemical Oxygen Demand/Total Nitrogen Ratio on Shifting Autotrophic Partial Nitrification to Heterotrophic Nitrification and Aerobic Denitrification in High-Strength Ammonium Wastewater Treatment
Authors: Peng Zhenghua , Lei Yongfei , Zhan Yousheng , Yang Benqin , Pan Xuejun
Published: September 2024

Partial nitrification (PN) is an effective process for treating high-strength ammonium wastewater with a low COD/N (chemical oxygen demand/total nitrogen) ratio; this is because the cooperative interaction with denitrification or anammox can result in a reduction in aeration costs of approximately 25% and a reduction in the use of organic sources during biological nitrogen removal of 40%. However, the key functional microorganisms in the partial nitrification (PN) process are ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), which are autotrophic microorganisms that are influenced by carbon sources. Therefore, the COD/N ratio affects the performance of the PN process when treating high-strength ammonium wastewater. In this study, five sequence batch reactors were constructed and operated for 42 days; they were fed with synthetic high-strength ammonium wastewater (500 mg/L) with various COD/N ratios (at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4). The results suggested that the PN process could be accomplished at COD/N ratios of 0 and 0.5, but its performance decreased significantly when the COD/N ratio increased to 1 due to the occurrence of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification. The AOB could not compete with the heterotrophic bacteria; as the COD/N ratios increased, the abundance of Nitrosomonas (a genus of autotrophic AOB) decreased, and it was not detected at COD/N ratios of 2 and 4. Instead, the heterotrophic nitrification and heterotrophic denitrification (HNAD) bacteria appeared, and their relative abundance increased when the COD/N ratios increased from 1 to 4.

Published: September 2024

Mental disorders should get more attention because the people themselves still think that mental disorders are disgusting and embarrassing. For this reason, the stigma of society has an impact on the families of sufferers because they think that if one of the families suffers from a mental disorder, it is something that is very embarrassing and is a disgrace to the family. One of the many psychiatric disorders is schizophrenia where the sufferer has difficulty distinguishing what is real and what is not. The existence of this thinking disorder makes the sufferer have abnormalities in behaving and speaking. Families who care for people with schizophrenia also receive bad treatment by the surrounding environment so that it affects their perception of schizophrenia itself. Not infrequently the family also becomes a victim when caring for the patient and of course makes the sufferer's family feel depressed. For this reason, self-acceptance from the family will have an impact and can also help the healing process for people with schizophrenia. The stages of family self-acceptance vary, but in general there are four stages, namely resistance, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

Published: September 2024

Students working on a thesis can experience boredom, lack enthusiasm, and even lack motivation, which can be an obstacle to the completion of the thesis. Researchers distributed grit questionnaires aimed at students working on their theses at Yudharta Pasuruan University and found that most students needed more consistency of interest and higher resilience in trying. Therefore, students who are working on their thesis need to exercise self-control in order to complete it. Self-control is a belief that individuals have in acting and behaving and the ability of individuals to control these behaviors. Students need to have a high level of grit in order to be able to commit to their choices, even though it will be difficult and tedious. This study aimed to determine the effect of self-control on grit in students working on a thesis. The research method used is quantitative, with a sample of 234 8th-semester students working on their thesis. Based on the calculation, the r value is 0.776, which means the correlation between the self-control variable and grit is strong. The r2 value is 0.602, meaning self-control influences 60.2% of student grit. It is known that the sig. The value is 0.000, which is 0.000 <0.05; it can be concluded that there is a significant influence between self-control and grit in students working on their thesis.

Authors: Cangussu Natália Ferreira , Reis Izabel Oliveira , Castilho Junior Carlos Alberto Campos , Oliveira Eduarda Andrade Rocha de , Sanches João Victor Vasconcelos
Published: September 2024

A retocolite ulcerativa (RCU) é uma doença inflamatória intestinal crônica caracterizada por inflamação da mucosa do cólon e reto, com início distal no reto e progressão contínua para proximal. A RCU pode levar a sintomas como diarreia sanguinolenta, dor abdominal e urgência fecal, e frequentemente requer mudanças drásticas no estilo de vida. A etiologia da RCU permanece indefinida, mas está associada a fatores genéticos, ambientais e a um microbioma intestinal alterado. O diagnóstico é baseado em anamnese, exames laboratoriais e endoscópicos, incluindo colonoscopia e biópsia, que ajudam a distinguir a RCU de outras condições inflamatórias intestinais, como a Doença de Crohn (DC). A fisiopatologia da RCU envolve a desregulação do sistema imunológico, resultando em inflamação crônica e dano à barreira epitelial intestinal, que contribui para a formação de úlceras e pseudopólipos. O tratamento da RCU inclui o uso de 5-ASA para casos leves a moderados, corticosteróides para fases mais graves e agentes imunobiológicos para pacientes refratários a outros tratamentos. A monitorização contínua e o manejo adequado são essenciais para controlar a inflamação e prevenir complicações como o câncer colorretal.

Published: September 2024

Introdução: A Cirurgia Geral é essencial  para tratar diversas doenças, mas traz riscos de complicações peri e pós-operatórias, o que torna essencial a prevenção e o manejo eficaz para melhorar a sobrevida dos pacientes. Complicações comuns, como febre, atelectasias e infecções, surgem nos primeiros dias pós-cirúrgicos. Protocolos como ERAS e Projeto Acerto ajudam a reduzir o estresse cirúrgico e acelerar a recuperação. Portanto, a prevenção personalizada e uma equipe qualificada são fundamentais para o sucesso do pós-operatório. O objetivo do estudo é otimizar a recuperação em cirurgia geral, apresentando as principais complicações pós-operatórias e as principais estratégias utilizadas por profissionais de saúde para preveni-las e tratá-las. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa da literatura, cuja busca de artigos foi realizada nas bases Science Direct, Scielo e PubMed, abrangendo publicações de 2010 a 2023, em português, inglês e espanhol. Os descritores utilizados foram “Cuidados intraoperatórios”, “Recuperação Pós-Cirúrgica”, “Complicações Pós-Operatórias”, “Deambulação precoce” e “Infecção da ferida cirúrgica”. Foram encontrados ao todo 3.172 artigos e após a exclusão de artigos duplicados e fora do período de 13 anos, foram selecionadas 6 referências para compor o escopo dessa revisão. Discussão: Os procedimentos cirúrgicos podem causar dor, medo e suscetibilidade a infecções, impactando a recuperação do paciente. A dor pós-operatória pode prolongar a internação e gerar complicações físicas e psicológicas. Portanto, a educação dos profissionais de saúde sobre a importância de tratar a dor como um "quinto sinal vital" é crucial para reduzir essas complicações. A infecção do sítio cirúrgico é outra preocupação significativa, sendo influenciada por fatores como tempo de cirurgia e condições hospitalares. A vigilância pós-alta, com o uso de ferramentas de monitoramento, pode ajudar a identificar e prevenir infecções. Além disso, complicações não relacionadas ao sítio cirúrgico, como pneumonia e infecções, podem ser mitigadas por medidas como a otimização do espaço hospitalar e a higienização adequada. A deambulação precoce também é vital, pois reduz complicações respiratórias e melhora a recuperação funcional. Conclusão: As complicações pós-operatórias ainda são um desafio, mesmo com os avanços em cuidados perioperatórios. Constatou-se que a prevenção personalizada é crucial, com protocolos como ERAS e Projeto Acerto reduzindo o estresse cirúrgico e acelerando a recuperação. A vigilância pós-alta e a deambulação precoce ajudam a prevenir infecções e melhorar a recuperação funcional. A educação contínua dos profissionais e a adoção de práticas baseadas em evidências são essenciais. Um enfoque integrado que combine prevenção, manejo e tecnologias atualizadas pode melhorar o cuidado pós-operatório e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

A obesidade é uma crise de saúde global com prevalência crescente, levando a um aumento na incidência de condições crônicas, como Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2 (DM2). Intervenções cirúrgicas, particularmente a Gastrectomia Vertical em Sleeve e o Bypass em Y de Roux, têm sido destacadas como tratamentos eficazes para obesidade e DM2. Esta análise visa determinar se alguma dessas abordagens cirúrgicas oferece melhores resultados na remissão do DM2, considerando os diferentes perfis de eficácia e segurança. Foram incluídos ensaios clínicos controlados e randomizados, disponíveis em inglês, espanhol e português na PubMed (MedLine), focando em estudos dos últimos 10 anos. A busca utilizou os descritores “sleeve gastrectomy”, “Roux-en-Y gastric bypass”, “remission” e “Diabetes Mellitus”, seguindo as diretrizes PRISMA para garantir a qualidade da revisão. Os estudos sugerem que tanto o bypass gástrico, quanto a gastrectomia vertical são eficazes e seguros como estratégia de cirurgia metabólica, observando perda de peso e maior controle glicêmico após a intervenção. No entanto, as análises comparativas demonstraram que a abordagem descrita pelo bypass gástrico em Y de Roux obteve maior porcentagem de remissão do Diabetes Mellitus, de perda do excesso de peso corporal total, de melhora de qualidade de vida e de diminuição de parâmetros metabólicos no período de acompanhamento pós operatório., em comparação aos pacientes submetidos à gastrectomia vertical.
Optimising The Carcass Merit Of Irish Beef Cattle Using Genetic And Non-genetic Information At The Animal And Herd Level
Authors:   ,   Munster Technological University, Kenny David
Published: September 2024

Failure of beef carcasses to achieve desirable carcass specifications represent inefficiencies within the supply chain, namely greater carcass processing costs and the inability of the resulting primal cuts to conform to high-value market specifications. Analysis of a representative sample of prime Irish beef cattle conducted in this thesis determined that 59% of cattle fail to achieve the desired carcass specifications of the supply chain at slaughter. The objective of this thesis was to use readily available information to define strategies that could help to reduce this statistic. Firstly, the likelihood of Irish beef carcasses achieving the desired carcass specifications was found to vary by a variety of animal-level risk factors, as did herd-level best linear unbiased estimates (BLUEs) for carcass traits by herd-level factors; these BLUEs, generated from genetic evaluations, represent the contribution of herd environment to carcass performance. The heritability estimated for binary traits representing the achievement of the desired carcass specification ranged from 0.05 to 0.19, with the genetic standard deviation associated with the binary traits ranging from 0.05 to 0.17 units. A subsequent validation exercise proved that selection of cattle using their genetic evaluations for these specification traits increases the proportion of carcasses achieving the desired specifications. Furthermore, it was determined that the response to genetic selection for carcass merit varies by herd-level BLUEs, signifying the potential to use BLUEs to tailor breeding decisions for individual herds; the response to selection in herds with the highest herd BLUEs was 144%, 141% and 89% of that for carcass weight, carcass conformation and carcass fat, respectively, in herds with the lowest BLUEs. Finally, single nucleotide polymorphisms expressing dominance associations with the carcass traits of interest were detected on eight distinct chromosomes, with imprinting associations detected on 17 distinct chromosomes.

The power of the use of HR Analytics in creating these unique business specific efficiencies can no more be ignored, and it has become obvious that Human Resources in its continuous evolution has placed a greater focus on the business results that existing data can bring them Consequently, present day business operations necessitate this evidence based approach to management. This thesis focuses on the practices and capability of multinational organizations based in Ireland in the use of the information available to them specifically with respect to their reward decision methodologies. Due to the nature of the inherent larger size and budgets, as-well as the competitive landscape in which they sit, multinational organizations were chosen as the focus of primary research. In-depth interviews were conducted with seven senior HR professionals in seven different multinational companies dial are based in Ireland. The interviews focus specifically on whether these organizations are measuring the outcomes of their reward practices and whether they are making reward decisions based on actual evidence of these outcomes. The interviews reached comparable conclusions suggesting that reward decisions are based on external factors as precedence. The evidence also concluded that Retention is held a valuable data point in understanding effectiveness of reward. The interviews also reached unanimous conclusions suggesting that these organizations are not utilizing all the tools available to them in understanding the true effectiveness of their reward programs. Another salient finding illustrated that in some instances, feedback is attained as a re-active strategy as opposed to a succession strategy.

Published: September 2024

Making the right decisions in the process of selecting target markets for agricultural products in international marketing can help reduce the negativities in the complex and costly process. The main purpose of the study is to rank and evaluate alternatives in target market selection for agricultural products in the international markets by using fuzzy AHP and fuzzy COPRAS techniques. Multi criteria decision making (MCDM) methods are widely used in solving target market selection problems. In this study, the importance levels and weights of the evaluation criteria of political environment, economic environment, social environment and technological environment (PEST) were measured by the fuzzy AHP method. The criteria that are important for target market selection were evaluated by taking expert opinions, the uncertain and uncertain opinions of the experts were modeled with the fuzzy AHP approach and the weights of the criteria were determined. Among the PEST criteria, economic factors (EF) have the most weight. Then, alternative rankings were obtained with the fuzzy COPRAS method. Using the criterion weights found with fuzzy AHP, the alternatives of the 6 importing countries with the highest share in the processed agricultural products market were listed with the fuzzy COPRAS method. As a result of listing the alternatives, it is seen that the European Union alternative comes first in choosing the target market for processed agricultural products. This study provides a resource for decision makers to make decisions regarding target market selection of agricultural products in international markets.

Anhand von Massendaten, d. h. den Daten der Strukturerhebungen seit 2010, untersuchen die Autoren in einem Kohortendesign für die letzten 60 Jahre, ob in der Schweiz eine Geschlechterumkehr beim Bildungserwerb stattfand, wie diese in der Struktur, Dynamik und Komplexität vonstattenging, und welche sozialen Gruppen als die treibende Kraft für diesen Wandel im Bildungsverhalten verantwortlich waren.

Philosophische Hermeneutik im Rahmen komplexitätstheoretischer erziehungswissenschaftlicher Theoriebildung
Authors: Gerstgrasser Robin , Ibrahim Omar
Published: September 2024

Für den vorliegenden Beitrag wird zuerst in groben Zügen das Verständnis der Theoriebildung innerhalb der Erziehungswissenschaft nach Anhalt unter Berücksichtigung komplexitätstheoretischer Überlegungen nachgezeichnet (2). Anschließend wird aufgezeigt, wieso die Geisteswissenschaftliche Pädagogik nach Anhalt diesen Ansprüchen in wesentlichen Punkten nicht gerecht wird (3). Dabei muss sich die Untersuchung wiederum auf einzelne Punkte beschränken. Auf dieser Basis kann schließlich aufgezeigt werden, welche Inhalte und Zugänge die (moderne) philosophische Hermeneutik zu einer komplexitätsorientierten Erziehungswissenschaft beisteuern kann, um so die Kritikpunkte gegen die Geisteswissenschaftliche Pädagogik zu überwinden (4). Damit ist mit der Kritik Anhalts gegenüber der hermeneutisch fundierten Theoriebildung in der Erziehungswissenschaft noch nicht das letzte Wort gesprochen. Vielmehr zeigt sich, dass in diesem Zusammenhang noch vieles ansteht, was für die Theoriebildung unter Berücksichtigung komplexitätstheoretischer Überlegungen erarbeitet werden kann (5). (DIPF/Orig.)
Abschied von den einsamen Helden. Wie sich die Rede vom Bildungsaufstieg verkomplizieren lässt

Published: September 2024

Obwohl es überfällig ist, die auffällige Vernachlässigung der erziehungswissenschaftlichen Erforschung von Bildungsaufstiegen im Rahmen eines wissenssoziologischen Beitrags genauer nachzuspüren, will der Autor das Interesse auf das Material lenken, auf das innerhalb der Erziehungswissenschaft zurückgegriffen wird, wenn das untersucht wird, was im Französischen trajectoire genannt wird – die Durchkreuzung des sozialen Raumes. Ihn interessiert die Form, in der innerhalb der Erziehungswissenschaft Bildungsaufstiege untersucht werden. (DIPF/Orig.)

Published: September 2024

The development of a city occurs along with the development and changes in land that are triggered by the dynamics of the population. Population dynamics can occur as a result of births, deaths and population movements that affect changes in the number, composition and growth of the population. This study aims to identify the impact of population dynamics on spatial patterns. To achieve these objectives, this research uses mixed methods, namely quantitative methods combined with qualitative methods. To determine the impact of population dynamics on spatial patterns, this study uses simple linear regression analysis. Research on this analysis uses the variable Population Dynamics as an independent variable that gives effect. Also using the variables of changes in spatial patterns, that receive the impact of influential variables. The results of the regression analysis of the impact of population dynamics on spatial patterns show that population dynamics only have an effect of 26.7% on spatial pattern changes. This analysis proves that population dynamics do not have a significant impact on spatial patterns. The initial hypothesis of this study, namely population dynamics has an impact on spatial patterns and spatial structure, has been proven through regression analysis that this hypothesis can be accepted because population dynamics has an impact on spatial pattern, although it is not significant.
