Authors:   School of Commerce, Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Sciences (NMIMS), Dhule Campus, Maharashtra, Rao Dr. Sambaji
Published: August 2022

Abstract: The aim of the present study is to examine the relationship amongst the three variables i.e., innovative culture (IC), social media (SM) and organizational effectiveness (OE). The study also aims to explore the mediating role of social media on the proposed relationship. Based on the proposed framework, data were collected from 732 faculty of Indian technical education institutions through selfreported questionnaires. The data were tested utilizing Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique. The findings revealed positive relationship between IC and OE. Social media indicated a two-dimensional model, namely utilitarian, and hedonic purpose. Further, results indicated that social media for hedonic purpose mediated the relationship between innovative culture and organizational effectiveness. This paper offers significant insights to Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) that may help the institutions tounderstand the importance of social media that may affect organizational effectiveness. Till date, social media as a mediator has received less attention in the context of technical educational institutions in India. The establishment of social media as a mediator between IC and OE in HEIs is unique.The findings contribute to the existing body of literature on IC, social media, and OE in the non- Western context as the data were collected from the domain of private engineering colleges in India. Keywords: innovative culture, social media (utilitarian, hedonic), organizational effectiveness

Abstract: The key aspect of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is an assessment of learning outcomes. OBE assessment of the outcomes of the course is the most critical feature required to improve the quality of education. Learning outcomes are concrete, formal statements that state what students are expected to learn in a course. Program Outcomes (POs) are the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that students should have at the end of the course. POs can be measured through Course Outcomes (COs) which are broad statements indicating knowledge, skills acquired at the end of the course. The results of each course are based on COs and POs. An innovative method is needed for assessing the COs and POs. This paper details the CO-PO matrix analysis and CO-PO attainment analysis for Big data analytics course. This study aims to give an effective strategy for evaluating COs and POs, beginning with the formulation of COs using Bloom's Taxonomy. In this methodology by using the students' performance in internalassessment, end exam, assignments, and course exit feedback; calculate the attainment of the course. The proposed method assists in the creation of effective lesson plans, high-quality question papers, and effective rubrics for course evaluation. The outcomebased approach necessitates a paradigm shift in thecurriculum process and how the learner is empowered to achieve outcomes.

Abstract: Our conventional teaching style teaches how to listen, memorize, and how to apply it to the real world. However, it is a good style of teaching, participation of the student in a subject is very less. Most of the time, it is faculty centric. Furthermore, in this style of teaching, practical knowledge is very less, most of them working towards the marks. In order to improve the teaching methods and to reduce the gap between the student and faculty, many academicians did their research in active learning. It improves the quality of teaching, and gave different ambient to the students. In this dissertation, gaming pedagogy is designed for engineering college students. Millennium learners prefer active learning; most importantly, they are visual learners. The mind map is one such technique, here they need to associate something related. Though it is a group activity, it cannot be conducted as a game. Teaching with images arouses their curiosity and if it is clubbed with a game their interest goes infinite. Hence, the pedagogy calledconnexion was designed to attract the diverse learners. Here, the class was divided into groups. One set of students was asked to prepare the task for connexion game called authors, and the other set was simplyparticipants. The authors weaved together the images available in the public domain for finding the concept. Doing so they came up with lots of questions with the items they were exploring and they even developed some good strategies. They also designed clue questions for the participants to answer with the help of the teacher. For this study, connexion game conducted for the subject programming for problem solving using C. For detailed analysis fifty students chosen in our class; Students assessed in a specific concept via a connexion game. From the result, it is observed that ninety percentage of the students actively participated and understood the concept easily. The feedback also collected from the students, it shows that they are enjoying gaming pedagogy. As an end result, this gaming made the authors to think critically and the participants have a good conceptual understanding in addition to a good revision exercise and entertainment for them.

Published: August 2022

Abstract: A mixed cohort of students with different experience backgrounds join the architecture degree. While some are well familiar with the user interface of computer and 3-D digital tools, others are not. The effe ct of such prior knowl edge and their corresponding digital and analog performance in a designed experiment was evaluated with a sample of 38 first-year students. This was done to understand the performance effects of previous computer learning in students. Computer learning of the sample was studied in terms of years of computer exposure, the number of software known, and knowledge of 3D software or SketchUp. The results suggest that none of the factors contributed to the digital performance of students. This provided suggestions regarding the computer teaching emphasis which should be placed on students having less computer learning.

Abstract: The aim of this study is to discover which kind of scaffolding can effectively promote learning. The past studies have shown mixed results in this regard. The process in which a domain expert gives and withdraws support in order to make a novice learner complete the task is known as scaffolding. A total of four distinct scaffold combinations and four groups were made. This experimental study was repeated twice to cross verify the outcomes using computer based learning environment (CBLE). The CBLE was designed with intelligent web program in PHP and jQuery to evaluate the solutions submitted by the learners instantly. The CBLE acted as an intelligent feedback system. In the first study, it was found that there was a significant effect of different scaffolding treatments on the learning outcomes, F (3,76) = 5.762, p=.001. The result analysis involves multiple comparisons based on Tukey HSD test and indicated that the mean score for the indirect support and adaptive fading (M=4.45, SD=1.191) was considerably different than the others. Likewise, second study also found that there was a significant effect of different scaffold treatments on the learning outcome, F (3,76) = 4.258, p=.008. The Tukey HSD test applied during the second study indicated that the mean score for the indirect support and adaptive fading (M=4.55, SD=1.19) was again significantly different than the others. The present study additionally measured the flow state of all the four groups using Kruskal-Wallis H test and found that indirect support and adaptive fading group was significantly different than direct support and adapting fading group as well as direct support and gradual fading group in both the studies.

Published: August 2022

Abstract: Game Theory (GT) is a technique or tool for analyzing the problems for studying and evolving the strategies, for reaching out towards the rational decision processes of individual persons and their interactions in an environment of a group. Game Theory focuses on studying the different approaches, in which strategic interactions among different economic agents evolve outcomes with respect to the choices (or utility) of the agents, irrespective of whether the results of their efforts were intended. Thus, mostly GT is used for a study of different mathematical models of variations, uncertainties, conflicts and interactions among intelligent; rationally deciding subjects i.e. human beings. In teaching learning process large number of students, faculties are involved. This results in large number of variables. Large number of students with unpredictable behaviors, number of faculties with different methods of teaching, makes it difficult to achieve the best academic results. So a study is undertaken and a game theory (GT) is adapted to evolve an academic system so that academic process becomes interesting for the participants that are the students and faculty. The basic reason of choosing a GT is as it allows users to consider the different variations in the chosen model. The objective of this study is to evolve a composite optimum strategy for the faculty member in-order to achieve the best possible result for any fragmented group of students. The analysis is carried out at the level of some subject in which maximum use of mathematics is observed, such as economics and financial analysis and management.

Abstract: This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the method of learning the electroflotation process with a variety of stainless steel and copper electrodes and the voltages and voltages used. The experiment was carried out by treating domestic wastewater with the electroflotation method at various voltages of 6; 9; 12; 15; and 18 volts and variations of electrodes A, B, and C. The elements of the dispersed substance in the water medium, the pH level, and temperature in the water sample are measured first, then measured again to find out how much influence electroflotation has in separating pollutants. The application of learning is done by providing pretest questions, learning videos, and posttests. The results showed that sample A was good because it had an average value in the decrease in TDS as well as the temperature of the solution. While the results of the implementation of demonstration videos are effective, the score is not significant because it is likely that students already understand the concept as well as network factors. This research is expected to provide solutions to the problem of domestic oil-tainted water and improve the understanding of vocational school students about the concept of electro flotation to clear water.

Abstract: The unemployment issue among Vocational Stream Students with Learning Disabilities (VSSwLD) is a growing concern in Malaysia. This condition worsens with a mismatch between students’ employability skills and industry requirements. Relying on online questionnaires administered to SMPKV leavers nationwide, this quantitative study identifies the marketability level of VSSwLD leavers and how to develop a model to meet industry demand. Rasch Model with Winstep software version 3.69.1.11 was used to analyze the frequency, means, and percentage scores. Results show that the level of students’ marketability is very low and therefore a model to develop their skills to meet industry demand is deemed necessary. This model serves as a guide to equip VSSwLD with the necessary skills needed by the industry before their study completion. The study also provides a reference for teachers on how to support the development of the employability skills of their students.

Abstract: Malaysia moves forward to increase the number of high skilled laborers in 2025. This expectation, however, reflects the readiness of education institutions in offering good students preparation before getting into the real workplace environment. Teacher is one of the crucial models in an education system that may impart with the dynamic changes in student skills acquisition and thus the development of generic skills among future teachers are seems necessary, especially communication skills itself. As in Malaysia, the efforts in the development of teachers' skills in communication have been fully established and implemented in the curriculum of the Vocational Teacher’s Training Program. This study was done to distinguish the perceptions of students in mastering the Interpersonal Communication Skills among Technical and Vocational Education and Training (PLTV) students after attending the Vocational Teacher Training Program. The sample consists of 200 respondents with a total of 158 prospective teachers of undergraduate students from the Faculty of Technical and Vocational Education, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) as well as 42 people of prospective teachers of undergraduates from the Faculty of Technical and Vocational, UPSI. The methodology that has been used is descriptive and inferential statistics through a questionnaire with a five-point scale and Cronbach Alpha coefficient of 0.954. The analysis showed no significant difference between students who participated in the program and not participate program. This is, however, the overall mean value among students attending the program is slightly higher than students not attending the program indicating that this program is statistically able to improvise students’ skills in the future. Therefore, the empowerment in the implementation of the Vocational Teacher’s Training Program seems crucial so that it could continuously strengthen the communication skills among prospective teachers.

Una vez que se tiene conocimiento de los síntomas que presenta el paciente, se debe realizar una prolija anamnesis, una exploración física y el diagnóstico pertinentes. Sin embargo, la enfermedad ocurre de forma subclínica con más frecuencia que otras edades, ya que muestra una serie de características que no son comunes en otros grupos de etarios. Aquello conlleva menor precisión diagnóstica, un retraso en el diagnóstico etiológico; y, por lo tanto, una evolución muy torpe en algunos pacientes. El diagnóstico diferencial es inherente a procesos intra y extra abdominales y que puede requerir intervenciones quirúrgicas y/o manejo médico.

Existen cuatro factores que también nos sirven de indicadores para determinar si el objeto es arte o no, entre ellos están, la intención del autor; las habilidades intrínsecas de este; las cualidades, propiedades de la obra; y por último la mirada del espectador. Estos cuatro elementos son esenciales a tomar en consideración para evaluar si un objeto puede ser o no considerado obra de arte. Conocer el arte, la cultura y sus manifestaciones es importante para el ser humano, especialmente para los docentes, puesto que ellos son los encargados de la continuidad no solo del saber sino de la formación integral del sujeto cognoscente.
AVRUPA ÜLKELERİNDE İNOVASYON VE DIŞ TİCARET ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ

Bu çalışmada inovasyonun dış ticaret üzerindeki etkisi Avrupa ülkeleri örneğinde 2000-2017 dönemi verileri temel alınarak ve panel veri yöntemleri kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada inovasyon göstergesi olarak Ar-Ge yoğunluğu kullanılmış olup, dış ticarete ilişkin ise ihracat yoğunluğu, ithalat yoğunluğu ve ihracatın ithalatı karşılama oranı değişkenleri dikkate alınmıştır. Değişkenlerin durağan olmadıklarına işaret eden birim kök testi sonuçları ve model parametrelerinin ülkelere göre heterojenliği dikkate alınarak inovasyon ve dış ticaret değişkenleri arasındaki ilişki Westerlund (2007) HDM koentegrasyon testi ve Pesaran (2006) CCEMG modeli çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Westerlund (2007) HDM koentegrasyon testi sonucunda, inovasyon ile her üç dış ticaret değişkeninin koentegre olduğu bulunmuştur. Pesaran (2006) CCEMG yöntemi dâhilinde ihracat, ithalat ve ihracatın ithalatı karşılama oranı için tahmin edilen modellerden ise sadece ilkinde inovasyonun dış ticaret üzerinde etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Bulgular hem uzun hem de kısa dönemde inovasyonun ihracatı pozitif yönde etkilediğini gösterirken, ithalatı ve ihracatın ithalatı karşılama oranını etkilemediğine işaret etmektedir. Bununla birlikte CCEMG modeli ile yapılan tahminlerle, inovasyon ve dış ticaret değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkinin ülkelere göre farklılık gösterdiği, Türkiye için ise bu ilişkinin desteklenmediği görülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlar, ülkelere göre farklılıkların olduğuna işaret etmekle birlikte ihracat artışına ilişkin politika hedefleri belirleyen ülkelerin inovasyonu destekleyici tedbirleri de dikkate almaları gerektiğini göstermektedir. Böyle bir tercih kalıcı rekabet üstünlüğünü destekleyen inovasyon ve teknolojik yetenek birikimine katkı sağlayabilir.
ATTITUDE TO THE IMAGE OF THE INSTAGRAM USER AND THE DARK TRIAD

Published: August 2022

The development of social network sites (SNS) entails expanded opportunities for self-presentation and changes in interpersonal interactions. The social network platform Instagram, focused on the visual presentation of information and images of users, provides a variety of opportunities for their self-presentation. Ac-tive research established that the specifics of the manifestation of realistic and false self-presentation in so-cial networks is related to social anxiety, attention and admiration seeking, and idealization of the authentic self. The connection between self-presentation and personality traits, in particular, with the Dark Triad symptom complex (Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy) is most clearly manifested for narcissism as a search for admiration from others. At the same time, the question of how other people perceive the image of the SNS user remains open. In this study we assessed the images of a user of the social networking ser-vice Instagram according to the characteristics of self-presentation (attractiveness, realism, desire to impress, and demonstrativeness); attitude components (cognitive, emotional, and behavioral) and Dark Triad traits of the study participants. Attitude components are positively associated with attractiveness and realism of the image on the social network but did not show any connection with the desire to impress and demonstrative-ness. The traits of the Dark Triad, on the contrary, raise doubts about the realism of the presented image, which can be considered as a predisposition to recognize deception on social networking sites. Narcissism reduces while psychopathy increases the evaluation of Instagram users’ desire to impress others. Machiavel-lianism and psychopathy negatively contribute to the attitude toward the Instagram user and evaluation of their self-presentation. However, the Dark Triad features also lead to an underestimation of the intellectual and emotional characteristics of the other. As a result, this decreases the desire to interact with them, which probably reduces the likelihood of positive responses in the SNS.

INTRODUÇÃO: Profissionais atuantes na área de terapia intensiva (UTI) são constantemente desafiados a apresentarem um alto nível de desempenho e conhecimento. Neste cenário, destaca-se o fenômeno da utilização de aplicativos móveis (também conhecidos como APPS) entre a população mundial, visando assim ao acesso fácil e rápido à informação com o intuito de auxiliar na tomada de decisão. OBJETIVOS: Desenvolver um APP direcionado para profissionais intensivistas. MÉTODOS: O desenvolvimento do aplicativo (APP) foi feito a partir da plataforma Expo, elaborado em um computador e disponibilizado para as plataformas Android e IOS. As temáticas presentes no aplicativo foram definidas com base no conhecimento de dois fisioterapeutas especialistas em Fisioterapia em Terapia Intensiva Adulto com mais de 10 anos de experiência. RESULTADOS: O APP utiliza uma interface intuitiva, sensível ao toque e de rápido acesso às informações que o usuário solicitar. Há um menu apresentando os botões referentes a cada função do APP, tais como: índices e cálculos; escalas funcionais; exames laboratoriais; sinais vitais; desmame; ventilação mecânica (VM); ventilação não invasiva (VNI). Desta forma, o APP apresenta sete modalidades. O tempo de desenvolvimento do aplicativo foi de 12 meses. CONCLUSÃO: Desenvolvemos um APP com foco em profissionais que atuam em UTIs, com o objetivo de que estes obtenham informações à beira leito assim como facilidade de utilização de instrumentos avaliativos.
Corpo, gozo e sintoma: ao corpse, gozo e sinthome
Authors: Danziato Leonardo Barreira
Published: August 2022

A partir da correlação originária no campo da psicanálise entre corpo e sintoma, percorremos os processos de deslocamento teórico na obra de Lacan, que demonstram e inoculam a função do gozo nesta correlação. Uma problematização entre corpo, gozo e sintoma, então se abre, e se desenvolve muito especialmente através das elaborações operadas acerca do campo do gozo. Essas elaborações, associadas à uma redução lógica do Outro (A), assim como às mudanças na concepção da estrutura de linguagem, ampliando-a para além da lógica da significação fálica e do Nome-do-Pai, e em direção ao real, determinam uma renovação da problemática, deslocando aqueles três conceitos para novas configurações, como corpse, gozo e sinthome. A centralidade do real e todos os deslocamentos na elaboração do corpo e do sintoma, inevitavelmente se fundam e se modificam a partir dos movimentos da obra, no que tange a confrontação entre o campo da linguagem, suas possibilidades e impossibilidades de inscrição e grafia do real do gozo pela letra. A dimensão do real ganha aqui outro posicionamento e um radicalização de seus efeitos na prática clínica psicanalítica.
Construcción de una identidad relacional caribeña en Doce cuentos peregrinos de Gabriel García Márquez
Authors: Castillo Balmaceda Sandra Milena , Caballero De la Hoz Amilkar
Published: August 2022

Este trabajo estudia la construcción de una identidad relacional caribeña planteada en Doce cuentos peregrinos a partir del análisis de la relación, la errancia y el posoccidentalismo, y del estudio del paisaje como articulador semiótico. Se examina la escenificación del primer encuentro de los caribeños en situación de diáspora física y su forma de entender su acontecer tras crear su primera imagen de la cultura y subjetividad foráneas. Se argumenta que este libro ilustra formas de vida y espacios transnacionales y boceta una estética que recrea la Relación en el nuevo caos-mundo desde la perspectiva de un sujeto caribeño.

Introducción: el linfoma B difuso de célula grande (LBDCG) no especificado (NOS) con sobreexpresión de MYC y BCL2 por inmunohistoquímica constituye el grupo doble expresor, el cual se ha asociado con peores desenlaces comparado con el no doble expresor. Son escasos los estudios en la región sobre el comportamiento clínico del LBDCG NOS doble expresor.
Objetivos: determinar las características clínicas, patológicas y tasas de respuesta de los pacientes con LBDCG NOS doble expresor diagnosticados en el Hospital de San José de Bogotá.
Métodos: estudio observacional de tipo cohorte retrospectiva con pacientes con LBDCG NOS diagnosticados en el Hospital de San José entre 2016 y 2019. Se realizó una revisión central de patología para confirmar el diagnóstico, valorar la morfología celular y realizar evaluación de la expresión de MYC y BCL2.
Resultados: se incluyeron 67 pacientes con LBDCG NOS. El 49,3 % de los casos fue de origen centro germinal. De total, 33 fueron clasificados como doble expresor (49,2 %). La tasa de respuesta global fue del 42,4 % en el grupo del LBDCG NOS doble expresor y 76,9 % en el total de los LBDCG NOS (76,9%).
Conclusión: el linfoma B difuso de célula grande doble expresor presentó tasas de respuesta global inferiores, posterior a inmunoquimioterapia estándar. El índice pronóstico internacional (IPI) de alto riesgo se asoció con menores tasas de respuesta completa.

Antecedentes: las escuelas de campo para agricultores constituyen una metodología en la que los participantes comparten conocimientos previos para brindar soluciones a problemas agrarios. Objetivo: fortalecer la disponibilidad, acceso y consumo de alimentos saludables, mediante la estrategia Sembrando Salud en dos veredas rurales y el centro poblado del municipio de Soracá, Boyacá, Colombia, en el año 2017. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio mixto que incluyó observación participante para evidenciar el fenómeno del acceso a alimentos y encuestas para medir el cambio en acceso, disponibilidad y consumo de alimentos saludables. Con las escuelas de campo se desarrollaron cinco módulos de formación con una intensidad de siete horas cada uno. Resultados: Sembrando Salud contó con la participación de 100 personas, 40 % menores de 18 años y 60 % adultos; 74 % mujeres y 26 % hombres. El acceso, disponibilidad y consumo de frutas y verduras es limitado, por los elevados costos de los alimentos y por el desconocimiento de su preparación. El cambio en la inclusión y consumo de frutas y verduras se evidenció en el 59,4 %, que realizó cambios en la producción, 51,9 % en la preparación y 43 % en adquirir verduras por otra vía. Conclusión: Sembrando Salud demostró que los procesos de participación y educación rural permiten el mejoramiento en el acceso, la disponibilidad y el consumo de alimentos saludables en poblaciones rurales.

Thermal finite element analysis of complex heat sinks using open source tools and high-performance computing

Published: August 2022

The modeling of heat transfer phenomena in thermal systems has been extensively explored in industry and academia by using the finite element method (FEM) with commercial software. However, when the thermal problem introduces complexities in geometry and physics, the availability of licenses for high-performance computing could represent a limitation to achieving results in a reasonable time. Hence, finite element analysis (FEA) using open-source software (OSS) becomes a prominent candidate in this case. Therefore, multiple open-source tools are integrated into this work to solve the heat transfer equation, including conduction, convection, and radiation. Several geometrically complex heat sinks commonly used in the electronics industry are considered application examples. The performance of parallel computing is assessed in terms of processing time. The finite element solution engine is built by implementing the energy balance equations in their weak formulation in Firedrake, using its solver PETSc, the mesh generator GMSH and the post-processor Paraview, thus creating a fully OSS-based Python framework. Finally, the results are verified with commercial software for different case studies, and its potential to be extended to other fields of engineering is evident.
