The Usage of State Space Models in Mortality Modeling and Predictions
Authors: Matějka Martin , Malá Ivana
Published: March 2023

In demography, mortality modeling with respect to age and time dimensions is often associated with the traditionally used Lee-Carter model. The Lee-Carter model considers a constant set of parameters of agespecific mortality change for forecasts, which can lead to the problem of overcoming the biodemographic limit. The main motivation of this paper is the use of more flexible models for mortality modeling. The paper explores the use of state space models for modeling and predicting mortality in a form not typically used in demography. In this context, it is a generalized Poisson state space model with overdispersion parameters. Concerning the empirical results, a comparison is made between the predictive abilities of the Lee-Carter and the generalized Poisson state space model with overdispersion parameters. The state space Poisson model with overdispersion parameters led to better results with respect to the comparison of modeled and historical observations. However, when comparing the predictions in the cross-validation area, both models were represented with similar overall mean squared error.
Electromagnetic Engines: A Review
Authors: Algusaier Mohammed , Alshammary Yousef
Published: March 2023

The global trade sector has been working toward ending its dependence on oil. Nevertheless, the demand for fuel continues to increase, and we can expect a scarcity of fossil fuels due to their constantly growing consumption in coming years. As an alternative to existing fuel combustion engines, the present research develops electromagnetic engines. In order to develop an electromagnet engine, it was necessary to analyze different probabilities and calculate the magnetic flux produced by the magnet to deal with the power output of the engine as well as the force required to move the piston. The combined electromagnetic model for motors and rectifiers is presented using the finite element model for the motor and the physical model for the rectifier, then validated with prototype-test results. A mathematical model for linear motors is presented using electromagnetic simulation. This is followed by an analysis of electromagnetic losses during the standard cycle. The linear motor system can be used to convert mechanical into electrical energy with 86.3% efficiency, which corresponds to the requirement of portable free-piston engine generators when the reciprocating frequency is 50 Hz and the reciprocating stroke is 36 mm.

Published: March 2023

The increasing occurrence of non-performing loans can cause non-performing loans  (NPL) loans to rise and have an impact on the Bank.  Non-Performing Loan is the main parameter or ratio to measure the level of credit health in the banking sector, NPL consists of non-performing loans, so banks, especially the credit department, must be careful when realizing credit so that the credit is not problematic.  This study aims to analyze the relationship between Bank X and Bank Y related to the implementation of credit governance and sustainable Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) during the COVID-19 Pandemic at Bank X and Bank Y. Implementation of credit governance at Bank X and Bank Y is used as three pillars that are interconnected with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) related to credit loans during the COVID-19 era by developing the MSE Funding TJSL program. This is in line with the contribution of Bank X and Bank Y to Sustainable Economic Development (SDGs), namely in goal number 8 of Decent Work and Economic Growth.  The implementation of ISO 26000 in organizational governance, fair operating practices, and consumer issues in both banks is well implemented.  Sample the study by interviewing 14 respondents and using Content Analysis.  The results showed that Bank X and Bank Y have implemented three ESG pillars as sustainable business efforts in Sustainable Banking, Sustainable Operation, and Sustainable Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The two banks, namely Bank X and Bank Y have implemented sustainable business practices (Good) Corporate Governance & Sustainability Business in Banking). The existence of market risk, liquidity, legal risk and reputational risk, the strategic risk to both Banks does not affect the Bank in implementing sustainability practices.

Published: March 2023

Excessive use of plastic bags adversely affects health and the environment based on their hard-to-decompose nature. The increase in the number of plastic bag use is strongly influenced by population growth and changes in people's lifestyles, especially in shopping patterns among housewives, besides that government policies related to the Covid pandemic have triggered an increase in the use of plastic bags. This analytical observational research aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes of housewives towards the use of plastic bags in Pasar Siborongborong Village, North Tapanuli, North Sumatra, with a cross-sectional research design with an accidental sampling method. Interviews were conducted with 95 housewives. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with CI:95%. The results of research on the use of plastic bags by housewives showed that 57.9% of the knowledge level of housewives in the good category, 64.2% of housewives' attitudes in the category were not good and 77.9% of the use of plastic bags in housewives was not good. The results of the Chi-Square test analysis showed that there was no meaningful relationship between the level of knowledge of housewives towards the use of plastic bags. (p.value: 0.864). On the other hand, there is a significant relationship between the attitude of housewives towards the use of plastic bags and the p.value: 0.010. Knowledge about the use and dangers caused by plastic bags can be done through socialization with the public, including through advertisements on television and social media. The implementation of restrictions on the use of plastic bags through the paid plastic bag policy at supermarkets is felt to have not been optimal in an effort to reduce the use of plastic bags.
Application of the Principle of Distinction under IHL in Outer Space
Authors: Yan Wenjun , Cui Haoyu
Published: March 2023

The principle of distinction can be applied to armed conflicts in outer space. Under the principle of distinction, combatants refer to armed personnel who directly participate in hostile actions in outer space, and military objects refer to those that have made actual contributions to military operations in outer space and can provide a definite military interest. All other personnel and objects are non-military targets that must not be attacked. Objects on which spaceflight participants depend for their survival, certain areas and cultural relics on celestial bodies, outer space, the natural environment of the earth, and space objects used for humanitarian relief are special protected objects. In order to implement the principle of distinction, the defender needs to effectively differentiate its own personnel and objects, and the attacker also needs to take feasible preventive measures.
Αυτοματοποίηση και Τεχνητή Νοημοσύνη στην πιθανή μετάβαση προς μια μετακαπιταλιστική κοινωνία

Published: March 2023

Σε όλη την διάρκεια της ιστορίας, η τεχνολογία και η εξέλιξη της έχουν επηρεάσει σημαντικά τον κοινωνικό τρόπο παραγωγής και οργάνωσης. Η σημαντικότερη τεχνολογική εξέλιξη έχει λάβει μέρος υπό του καπιταλιστικού συστήματος. Μέχρι σήμερα, η τεχνολογία δεν έχει αποφέρει το τέλος του. Ωστόσο, κάποιοι πιστεύουν πως οι εξελίξεις στην Τεχνητή Νοημοσύνη και την αυτοματοποίηση τις καθιστούν τεχνολογίες τόσο ριζικά διαφορετικές από αυτές του παρελθόντος ώστε να είναι πιθανό να προκαλέσουν την πτώση του καπιταλισμού και να οδηγήσουν σε μία μετακαπιταλιστική εποχή. Εν συνεχεία, ο προαναφερθείς ισχυρισμός θα αναλυθεί μέσω της παρατήρησης ιστορικών στοιχείων και σύγχρονης θεωρίας αλλά και εμπειρικής έρευνας πάνω στο ζήτημα. Η εργασία θα καταλήξει στο συμπέρασμα πως, ενώ είναι πράγματι πιθανό πως οι καινούριες τεχνολογίες αυτού του είδους μπορεί να είναι ριζικά διαφορετικές και μπορεί να επιφέρουν την πτώση του καπιταλισμού, αυτός ο ισχυρισμός δεν μπορεί να τεκμηριωθεί εξαιτίας του πρώιμου σταδίου ανάπτυξης τους.
La dette sacralisée

Published: March 2023

À partir d’un double regard s’appuyant sur l’observation des pratiques et des discours d’un côté, et sur l’analyse statistique de l’autre, l’ouvrage interroge les ressorts de l’enfermement dans l’endettement pour les catégories non-stabilisées et précarisées de la population Suisse dans le contexte du capitalisme financiarisé contemporain. Il s’inscrit dans les analyses qui montrent que le paiement de la dette s’est imposé dans l’histoire économique récente comme une obligation morale au-dessus de toute justice sociale, transformation ayant ouvert la voie à la domination des créanciers dans les choix politiques et au creusement des inégalités, dans un contexte qui conduit à accroitre la polarisation économique entre les différentes catégories de la population.

A structural decomposition analysis of “Latin American decade” for selected countries
Authors: Tahsin Emine
Published: March 2023

The 2003-2014 period for Latin America refers to the recent boom period within the growth cycles of the region and is called as “Latin American decade”. Given that, the purpose of the paper is to analyze this specific period based on structural transformation dynamics. In this context, structural decomposition methods are evaluated to outline structural transformation patterns. For this analysis, the Groningen Growth and Development Centre (GGDC) Economic Transformation Database (ETD), which provides annual data on employment and real value added by 12 sub-sectors, is used for 8 LA countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru). The decomposition analysis is applied for three main periods (1990-2018, 1990-2003 and 2003-2014) within the growth cycles of the region. So it is predicted to define whether the “Latin American decade” differs from the previous period, regarding structural dynamics. During the “Latin American decade”, the region has gone commodity-led growth pattern and deindustrialization. Moreover, this pattern is not so homogenous. Specifically, the mining sector and non-tradeable sectors dominate the structural dynamics of some countries. Due to these patterns, the results underlie that productivity gains remained at low levels. Latin American countries need to design growth strategies that focus on escaping from productivity traps.
Managing statistical misinformation in marketing: A study on consumers’ attitudes and capabilities
Authors: Leung Chi Hong , Chan Winslet Ting Yan
Published: March 2023

This paper discusses various types of misleading statistical information in marketing promotion and explains why it is harmful for customers. The paper also studies the customers’ attitudes to such misinformation and capabilities of managing it. A survey was used to collect data from 210 respondents’ attitudes to analyzing data when purchasing products and 2) studied whether these respondents could properly evaluate such information found in promotional messages. The respondents were students in a university and they were supposed to have sufficient mathematical and logical capabilities of managing statisical information. Respondents showed positive attitudes to data investigation involved in the purchase decision although they lacked the relevant knowledge to process the misleading statisical information. In general, they might not make correct decisions in various deceptive situations. Relevant product information is usually necessary for customers when they have to consider and buy important products. Statistical information can support objective decision making but the misleading one is harmful for customers. More statistical knowledge and other relevant skills are required to enhance the ability of processing misleading information in marketing promotion. The paper suggests a number ways to acquire such knowledge and skills.
The influence of intangible resources on the performance of agricultural cooperatives
Authors: Ishak Suraiya , Omar Ahmad Raflis Che
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between intellectual capital (IC), which is represented by structural capital (SC), relational capital [RC], and human capital (HC), and member participation (MP) and performance within the context of agricultural cooperatives. This study employs a survey technique involving 104 palm oil smallholders’ cooperatives in Peninsular Malaysia, and the data are analyzed through the partial least squares (PLS) technique. The results indicate that MP and RC have a significant direct relationship with cooperatives’ financial performance. Simultaneously, MP also has a direct and significant relationship with the cooperatives’ non-financial performance. This proves that MP is the most important intangible resource that determines the cooperatives’ financial and non-financial performance. Members’ cooperation contributes through active involvement and sharing of constructive ideas, while RC contributes to the competitive advantages in cooperatives' business dealings. Meanwhile, SC and HC have non-significant relationships with cooperative performance. The findings confirm the postulation of the RBV that internal resources are useful to gain superior performance in the marketplace. Therefore, management of agricultural cooperatives must maintain good relationships with their members and relevant constituencies to ensure sustainable performance.

Financial distress is a condition whene the company are in a state financial difficultes. Every company must have an early an early warning system to detect the potential for financial distress in order to avoid bankruptcky. The Purpose of this is to analyze and provide empirical evidence regarding the effect profitability (ROA), as a moderating between liquidity (CR), leverage (DAR), sales gowth (SG), in predicting financial distress (Altman Z-Score). The population in this purpose were retail companies on the IDX for the 2016-2020 period, with a sample of 19 companies studied for 5 years so that 95 samples were obtained, using the purposive sampling method. The data used is secondary data in the form of information from the company’s financial statements. The data analysis technique used logistic regression and moderating regretion analysis (MRA). The rsults prove that the variables of liquidity, sales growth and profitability are able to predict financial distress, while leverage cannot predict financial distress, the profitability variable strengthens the influence of liquidity and sales growth in predicting financial distress but weakens leverage in predicting financial distress. The advince given is expected thet the company can increase the effectiveness and efficiency in managing assets and can increase sales so that the profit received by the company increases so that the company can avoid financial distress.

Information systems in modern times now have a fairly important role in the progress of an organization, including in the business world. The obstacles that often arise in Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) namely on a transaction system that is still manual, with using paper to archive company data. Thus it will clearly make it difficult to control financial report data and transaction data. For this reason, it is important to earn for a certain system which able to help process transaction data and reports, which can also be useful for interested parties to overcome these obstacles. The required application system is an Accounting Information System. This research was conducted using quantitative analysis methods, namely by collecting accurate data. The aim of this research is none other than to analyze the effect of management information systems on decision making at Desi stores. The data collection method used by researchers is to create a questionnaire. The sample studied was 20 respondents using simple linear regression data analysis techniques. The influence of information systems in making decisions on selling prices at Desi Store is 67.4%. As the result of this research we can see that accounting information system for ‘Desi stores’ has played an effective and efficient role as a management tool in making pricing decisions, because most of the selling prices in 'Desi stores' use prices suggested by the official salesperson of these products. However, data processing and recording of company financial reports at 'Desi stores' still use a fairly simple method, namely with using paper to archive company data.

Conceptual Modelling for Smart Cities: A Teaching Case
Authors: Bork Dominik , Fill Hans-Georg , Karagiannis Dimitris , Miron Elena-Teodora , Tantouris Nikolaos , Walch Michael
Published: March 2023

The continuous urbanization forces city planners to be more creative and supported by approaches that enable an abstract perspective on the complex reality. Metropolitan cities have concrete plans to transform districts or the whole city towards a ‘Smart City’. Emerging technologies and the need to process data of millions of sensors raise challenges for city planners. This paper reports on experiences gained from a Smart City conceptual modelling teaching case we presented at the Next-Generation Enterprise Modelling Summer School. The case is subdivided into three scenarios, each focusing on different ways conceptual modelling can contribute in designing a Smart City or leveraging additional services for its citizens. The scenarios complement a theoretical perspective on conceptual modelling foundations by a practical perspective on their tool-based realization. The aim of the paper is to report on opportunities and challenges of teaching conceptual modelling in a Smart City.

Published: March 2023

Developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have revolutionized learning; likewise, they have given a renewed impetus to Citizen Science in recent years. Promoting learning in a variety of dimensions has always been a primary objective of Citizen Science. Yet in practice, combining learning and citizen science activities is problematic for a variety of reasons, not least due to a lack of suitable tools. This paper illustrates the potential of the Citizen Observatory as a novel and innovative construct for enabling the adoption of citizen science thus enabling the promotion of; formal, informal and service learning, in a range of contexts. Such a development has clear ramifications for learning in the smart city amongst other scenarios. The paper is concluded with a case study outlining how one perspective of a Citizen Observatory is being harnessed in a traditional learning environment
Smart Neighbourhood Learning – the case of MyNeighbourhood
Authors: Abbas Petersen Sobah , Concilio Grazia , Oliveira Manuel
Published: March 2023

Smart Cities have often been associated with an extensive ICT infrastructure supporting citizens to learn. A Human Smart City focuses on its citizens and the human infrastructure they create being key actors of city making processes with a special attention on service design, development and delivery. A Human Smart City leverages technology to enhance citizen engagement and social innovation, thus activating learning processes driven by the experimental nature of smart solutions’ design process. In this paper, we describe the case of MyNeighbourhood, an European project centred on the concept of Human Smart Cities and aimed at engaging neighbourhoods within four pilot cities. Four European municipalities engaged with their citizens to co-design services and foster a sense of identity and ownership in their neighbourhoods. The project focussed on sharing experiences across the neighbourhoods and the pilots with the aim of learning from each other. The experiences from this project show learning processes at different levels: individuals, groups and, in some cases, institutional. The focus of this paper is on neighbourhoods and cities that learn and innovate and on the opportunities and implications for cities.
A pedagogical framework and a transdisciplinary design approach to innovate HCI education
Authors: Mulder Ingrid
Published: March 2023

In the current work, we introduce Applab as a pedagogical framework and a transdisciplinary design approach to innovate HCI education. Students do not work for a client, but work together with urban stakeholders to better frame the problem in order to deal with societal challenges. In this way, Applab embraces design thinking as an approach to leverage a cross-disciplinary collaboration between research, government, industry, and HCI and design education. Results are described as well as lessons learnt. Consequently, the elaborate Applab model is discussed. Interestingly, the corresponding transdisciplinary design approach enabled a successful implementation of Applab into HCI education. Students learnt a lot, as did the urban stakeholders. The designed artefacts greatly leveraged their mind-shifting and meaningful learning experiences.
Proto Design Practice: translating design thinking practices to organizational settings
Authors: Pandey Sumit
Published: March 2023

The nature of services is becoming complex, indeterminate and often transformational and hence designed solutions need to allow for continuous and ongoing evolution by building up organizational capacity for sustained innovation. Design thinking practices are known to be effective at generating innovative outcomes in cross-functional, multi-stakeholder and indeterminate scenarios. However, they are also met with resistance to change due to deep rooted and established work practices and culture within organizations. Building on theoretical guidelines from practice theory, organizational studies and HCI literature related to practices, learning and innovation, this paper introduces ‘proto design practice’. Proto design practice is a practice-based approach for organizational settings that allows for the translation of design thinking practices in the context of communities’ work practice and consequently allows proto-practices to emerge. The proposed approach is showcased in a case study where design thinking was introduced in the context of an academic library.
How mobile app developers conceive of dyslexia and what it means for mobile app users
Authors: Dawson Kara , Antonenko Pavlo , Sahay Shilpa , Lombardino Linda
Published: March 2023

This study surveys the landscape of 531 apps identified in a search for mobile apps for dyslexia and examines how their developers conceive of dyslexia. Results suggest most developers use the word dyslexia to increase the visibility of their apps within digital distribution platforms but do not intentionally design with dyslexics in mind. Those developers intentionally designing for dyslexics often have accurate but simplistic and one-dimensional conceptions of dyslexia and, unfortunately, some also have misconceptions especially as related to the myth that dyslexia can be cured or outgrown. Although a small number of developers are collaborating with dyslexia experts to design their apps, the onus for determining the quality of most apps is left to users. Examples of curated resource repositories and evaluation rubrics for mobile apps are provided to support users in this endeavor.
Investigación exploratoria acerca de la educación en Panamá
Authors: Song Bing
Published: March 2023

Desde la década de los sesenta del signo XX, América Latina ha sido la región más desarrollada en el Tercer Mundo, y la educación en América Latina también ha crecido rápidamente en el Tercer Mundo. En ese mismo periodo, la democratización política y la modernización económica en esa región se han promovido reformas educativas, y la educación se ha desarrollado rápidamente en todos los niveles. En la década de los noventa del siglo pasado, la Conferencia Mundial de la Educación estableció una estrategia de priorizar la educación en América Latina y afirmó la educación como el importante papel en el desarrollo humano. La Conferencia Mundial de Educación en Amman en el año 1996 afirmó que los países latinoamericanos habían conseguido muchos importantes logros en la educación. La educación es una parte más importante en la política social, que se ha sido valorando en los países latinoamericanos después de la independencia. En el siglo XX, la mayoría de los países de América Latina ha logrado un notable desarrollo económico, especialmente en la reducción de la pobreza, y estos avances han promovido el desarrollo de la educación en esa región. Aunque muchos países están trabajando arduamente para acelerar la educación, debido a las condiciones prioritarias, la brecha entre ricos y pobres sigue siendo muy grave, y la distribución de la riqueza extremadamente desigual sigue siendo el obstáculo importante para la equidad educativa. La educación de alta calidad no puede extenderse realmente a toda la región. Este artículo analiza brevemente en torno al desarrollo educativo en Panamá, tanto la educación preprimaria, primaria, secundaria como superior y las medidas que se pueden tomar.
Análisis de la calidad de la lengua meta de la traducción a la vista del EEE8 en la perspectiva de “desverbalización”
Authors: Kong Fanyi
Published: March 2023

The sight translation is a basic method used for evaluating the level of foreign languages. Also, the target language quality form a fundamental part of the evaluation of the performance of sight translation. In the EEE8 test (Test for Spanish Majors-level 8), sight translation, as the unique form, is introduced to evaluate the oral capacity and that of interpretation, which also requires a scientific criterion so as to distinguish the performances with different marks. In this article, in the perspective of “deverbalization”, we focus on the samples of sight translation of EEE8 between 2017-2018 through the construction of a corpus. In addition, we investigate the correlations between the level of “deverbalization” and the performances of the students with regard to their target language quality. Hereafter, we analyze the factors that will affect “deverbalization” so that the learners will improve their target language quality of sight translation. In the end, it is our attempt to offer some suggestions for the study and the teaching of sight translation.

Лидерами по продуктивности показали себя раннеспелый сорт Гренада (30,9 т/га), среднепоздние Силач (3,72 т/га), Алабуга (3,84 т/га). Выявлено влияние агроэкологических условий выращивания на формирование урожайности.
Моделирование аэродинамики в асинхронном электродвигателе
Authors: Оськин Сергей Владимирович
Published: March 2023

Распространение в агропромышленном комплексе частотного регулируемого электропривода приводит к необходимости проведения исследований теплового состояния электродвигателей при изменениях режимов работы. Такие исследования необходимо проводить с использованием современных программных продуктов типа «Comsol». В данном ПО есть возможность проводить совместные исследования разных физических процессов через мультифизические связки. На тепловое состояние электрической машины существенное влияние оказывает ее аэродинамика. Целью исследований было создание компьютерной модели, позволяющей анализировать аэродинамику машины при различных изменениях в конструкции или в окружающей среде. Рассматривался только электродвигатель с обдувом, создаваемым внутренним вентилятором. В работе проведен анализ аэродинамических процессов в электродвигателе малой мощности. Разработана геометрическая модель, которая впоследствии рассчитывалась методом конечных элементов в программном обеспечении. При расчетах скоростей воздушных потоков принималось турбулентное движение с соответствующим математическим описанием. Моделирование показало, насколько резко снижаются скорости воздуха, проходящие по внешней стороне оболочки статора: при снижении частоты вращения в три раза скорость потока уменьшается в 4 раза. Полученные изображения полей скоростей воздуха
в отдельных частях машины позволяют оценить влияние основных конструктивных элементов электродвигателя на направление и величину воздушных потоков. Анализ полученных изображений позволяет увидеть наиболее труднодоступные места для обтекания воздухом. Разработанные модели могут быть использованы при анализе изменения теплового состояния электрической машины при конструктивных или режимных отклонениях в реальной эксплуатации. Модели полезны при проектировании новых машин или при их модернизации.
Перекисное окисление липидов в крови индюков при использовании биологически активных добавок
Authors: Мижевикина Анна Сергеевна , Лыкасова Ирина Александровна , Корюхова Мария Евгеньевна
Published: March 2023

Представлены результаты исследования по использованию кормовых добавок Иркутин и Набикат
в качестве антиоксиданта при повышенных процессах перекисного окисления липидов в крови цыплят-бройлеров. Для изучения антиоксидантной активности были выбраны Набикат и Иркутин. Набикат – комплексная добавка, содержит макро- и микроэлементы, состоит из натурального сырья – галокатехинов зеленого чая и измельченных зародышевых пленок риса. Набикат известен на рынке кормовых добавок как природный стимулятор роста и развития животных. Иркутин – аналог природных адаптогенов, активизирует процессы кроветворения и иммуногенеза, стимулирует резистентность организма. Обе кормовые добавки были изучены на наличие сорбционных свойств в отношении токсичных продуктов распада липидов. В качестве показателей перекисного окисления липидов использовали первичные продукты распада диеновых конъюгатов, вторичные продукты – кетодиены и сопряженные диены, а также продукты конечного распада, такие как основания Шиффа. Изменения циркуляции в крови продуктов перекисного окисления липидов служили основанием для выводов об антиоксидантных свойствах применяемых кормовых добавок. Обе кормовые добавки были изучены на наличие сорбционных свойств в отношении токсичных продуктов распада липидов. Для извлечения из плазмы крови продуктов перекисного окисления липидов использовали: гептан и изопропиловый спирт. Установлено, что использование спирта в экстрагирующей жидкости наиболее активно извлекало продукты перекисного окисления липидов из плазмы. В экстрагированных продуктах липопероксидации определяли оптическую плотность экстракта и регистрировали на спектрофотометре СФ-46 в кварцевых кюветах толщиной 1 см. Замеренная при 232 нм оптическая плотность соответствовала содержанию первичных продуктов, имеющих сопряженную систему двойных связей, а при 278 нм – уровню вторичных продуктов ПОЛ. Значения абсорбции при 400 нм дают информацию о содержании конечных продуктов ПОЛ, т.е. оснований Шиффа.

Published: March 2023

La destreza oral ha sido vista como una prioridad en la enseñanza del idioma durante un tiempo considerable. Es por esto que educadores e investigadores buscan constantemente alternativas para desarrollar esta destreza. El presente artículo estudió el impacto de las actividades de vacío de información en la disposición para usar el inglés para comunicarse en clases, así como medir si los estudiantes mejoraron su destreza oral luego de realizar estas actividades. Esto se hizo con el propósito de analizar si esta estrategia es una alternativa viable en relación a las actividades tradicionales propuestas por los libros que frecuentemente desmotivan a los estudiantes debido a su monotonía. El estudio ocurrió en una institución particular en Cuenca, Ecuador con un grupo de 20 participantes cuyo rango de edad oscila entre 16 y 17 años. Se utilizó un enfoque mixto en el cual los datos cuantitativos fueron obtenidos a través de un pre y post-test y el test de actitud y motivación de Gardner mientras que los datos cualitativos a través de un cuestionario y observaciones. Los resultados demostraron que las actividades de vacío de información beneficiaron tanto la destreza oral como las actitudes y percepciones hacia el aprendizaje del idioma.

Quelle mise en scène du (soi) poétique en contexte FLE débutant en Arabie saoudite ?
Authors: Navé Eric
Published: March 2023

Faire écrire en français de courts textes poétique sur un forum en ligne, à des débutantscomplets (A1) en cours de français langue étrangère (FLE), à l’université en Arabie saoudite, ne va pas de soi. L’expérience relatée visait avant tout à susciter un désir, une relation vivante vis-à-vis d’une langue inconnue. À partir de quelques exemples de textes, de réponses à des questionnaires et d’un entretien collectif, nous tentons de redéfinir la notion de mise en scène du poème en contexte d’apprentissage, en tant que présentation de soi au sein d’une communauté plurielle.
L’annotation de poème et sa mise en voix : une approche sensible au service de l’oralité.
Authors: Fallenbacher-Clavien Francine , Michelet Valérie
Published: March 2023

Cet article analyse le travail d’annotation/mise en voix d’un poème réalisé en classe primaire (élèves de 11-12 ans) de Suisse romande. Il s’agit de comprendre comment les élèves, par petits groupes, abordent l’oralité du texte poétique en exerçant une mise en voix collective, et si cette activité est source d’interprétations du poème. La mise en voix prend place dans une séquence débutant par une compréhension dirigée du poème, construite sur l’expérience sensible, par le mime, l’attention aux sonorités et les associations mentales, avant son annotation sur le mode d’une partition de musique. Cette proposition de « tressage » entre compréhension et exploration sensible du texte offrirait les conditions d’une didactique de l’interprétation du poème par sa mise en voix, en équilibrant découverte sensible et construction minimale d’une compréhension partagée. Les résultats obtenus permettent d’interroger la pertinence de ce dispositif et de proposer quelques pistes de régulation.

Dans le prolongement des travaux du réseau Poédiles, formé de didacticiens et de didacticiennes de la littérature, ce premier numéro entreprend d’approfondir la réflexion scientifique sur les relations entre poèmes et voix dans l’enseignement. La présentation de ce dossier assortie d’une importante bibliographie, revient sur certains enjeux de la lecture de la poésie et de ses approches orales et multimodales, dans des contextes scolaires et universitaires variés. Renvoyant aux rubriques de la revue, « Babel », « Poèmes lus » et « Voix et pratiques », les coordinatrices de ce premier numéro soulignent également l’importance de fréquenter personnellement les textes pour enseigner et de se nourrir des expériences pédagogiques prenant en compte les théories du sujet lecteur.
Alleviating moisture stress under irrigation scheduling and crop establishment techniques on productivity and profitability of wheat (Triticum aestivum) under semi-arid conditions of western India

Published: March 2023

A field experiment was carried out in semi-arid condition of Hisar during two consecutive years (2012-13 and 2013-14) to assess the performance of wheat under varied irrigation schedules with crop establishment techniques. In present study, wheat planted on beds (FIRBS) resulted in 15-19% increase in grain yield than minimum and conventional tillage systems but the margin was slightly lower and it was statistically at par with zero tillage (ZT). Inclusions of beds in wheat cultivation have led to improved growth indices, growth and yield parameters over conventional and reduced tillage practices. Adoption of ZT under semi-arid conditions led to 12-48% (2012-13) and 27-68 % (2013-14) higher net returns to farmers by reducing the cost incurred on the primary tillage operations. Consumptive water use was reduced by 9-12% besides improved water use efficiency (WUE) and irrigation water productivity (WPI) under beds than conventional tillage. Improved soil health concerning bulk density, soil organic carbon and total NPK status were perceived under ZT wheat. Growth indices, growth and yield parameters, grain and biological yields of wheat showed improvement under application of irrigation at higher moisture regime of CRI+IW:CPE=0.90 over lower moisture regimes.
PENGARUH SANKSI AMERIKA SERIKAT TERHADAP KEPATUHAN INDONESIA PADA REZIM HAK ASASI MANUSIA (HAM) DI TIMOR TIMUR
Authors: Alessandro Kurniawan Ulung
Published: March 2023

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan posisi Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) sebagai rezim internasional dengan menggunakan sanksi unilateral Amerika Serikat terhadap Indonesia di Timor Timur sebagai studi kasus. Pada masa Orde Baru, pemerintah Indonesia melakukan pelanggaran HAM berat di Timor Timur. Pelanggaran tersebut mencakup teror, intimidasi, penangkapan, pembunuhan, hingga pembakaran rumah warga Timor Timur yang menyuarakan referendum agar Timor Timur merdeka dari Indonesia. Pemerintah juga membiarkan pelanggaran HAM yang dilakukan oleh milisi yang pro-integrasi. Pelanggaran HAM berat di Timor Timur menarik perhatian komunitas internasional, termasuk Amerika Serikat. Amerika Serikat mengecam dan menuntut Indonesia untuk menghentikan pelanggaran HAM di Timor Timur sebagai bentuk kepatuhan Indonesia terhadap rezim HAM. Agar Indonesia menghormati HAM di Timor Timur, Amerika Serikat mengeluarkan berbagai sanksi sebagai kekuatan politik untuk menekan Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif untuk mengukur efektivitas sanksi-sanksi tersebut terhadap Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan teori kepatuhan, penelitian ini menemukan adanya pengaruh antara sanksi unilateral yang diberikan oleh Amerika Serikat terhadap kepatuhan Indonesia terhadap rezim HAM. Kepatuhan Indonesia dibuktikan dengan kebijakan jajak pendapat yang dibuat pemerintah Indonesia untuk rakyat Timor Timur pada 1999.

Published: March 2023

The Brown Skua (Stercorarius antarcticus) and the Chilean Skua (Stercorarius chilensis) breed in southern South America: the Brown Skua in coastal Argentina including Malvinas Islands and South Georgia, and the Chilean Skua in southern Argentina and Chile. Notwithstanding, information about their distribution in the Argentine Continental Shelf is scarce and limited to a few observations, mainly obtained in northern Patagonian gulfs and Malvinas Islands. There is virtually no information for other areas like the continental shelf, shelf-break and slope. In this work we report sightings of both species obtained within the framework of projects aimed at evaluating the interaction between seabirds and commercial trawl fisheries operating in Argentine waters. The observations were made during all seasons in a span of seven years (2008–2014). The records provide new information about the occurrence and abundance of these species of skuas for a wide latitudinal range in the Argentine Sea, which is also an area of operation of trawling fishing fleets, mainly the Argentine hake (Merluccius hubbsi) fishery.
