We search NANOGrav’s 12.5 yr data set for evidence of a gravitational-wave background (GWB) with all the spatial correlations allowed by general metric theories of gravity. We find no substantial evidence in favor of the existence of such correlations in our data. We find that scalar-transverse (ST) correlations yield signal-to-noise ratios and Bayes factors that are higher than quadrupolar (tensor-transverse, TT) correlations. Specifically, we find ST correlations with a signal-to-noise ratio of 2.8 that are preferred over TT correlations (Hellings and Downs correlations) with Bayesian odds of about 20:1. However, the significance of ST correlations is reduced dramatically when we include modeling of the solar system ephemeris systematics and/or remove pulsar J0030+0451 entirely from consideration. Even taking the nominal signal-to-noise ratios at face value, analyses of simulated data sets show that such values are not extremely unlikely to be observed in cases where only the usual TT modes are present in the GWB. In the absence of a detection of any polarization mode of gravity, we place upper limits on their amplitudes for a spectral index of γ = 5 and a reference frequency of f
yr = 1 yr−1. Among the upper limits for eight general families of metric theories of gravity, we find the values of

Der Grillenburger Sandsteinbruch am Flügel Jägerhorn (Cenomanium, Tharandter Wald, Sachsen) – historisch berühmt und geologisch verkannt
Authors: Niebuhr Birgit , Haubrich Frank , Fengler Markus
Published: December 2021

Der Steinbruch am Flügel Jägerhorn westlich von Grillenburg ist vermutlich der älteste Kreidesandsteinbruch des Tharandter Waldes, in Betrieb seit etwa 1170. Historisch belegt ist, dass beispielsweise 1225 die Goldene Pforte des Freiberger St.-Marien-Doms aus Grillenburger Sandstein gefertigt wurde. Die vom Universalgelehrten J. F. Henckel (1722) veröffentlichten Kupferstiche der fossilen Hahnenkamm-Muschel Rastellum carinatum und der Pectinide Merklinia aspera aus dem „Sandsteinbruche im Grüllenburger Walde“ sind in der Literatur die bisher ältesten bekannten Abbildungen von sächsischen Kreide-Fossilien.

Im Sandsteinbruch am Flügel Jägerhorn ist als unterster Abschnitt die über 5 m mächtige „Werksteinbank“ aufgeschlossen, der marine Werksandstein der oberen Oberhäslich-Formation (unteres Obercenomanium), der fälschlicherweise in den letzten über 130 Jahren der kontinentalen Niederschöna-Formation (Untercenomanium) zugeordnet und als fossilfreier Dünensandstein interpretiert wurde. Die obersten 1,50–2 m der „Werksteinbank“ beinhalten neben Glaukonit auch fünf verschiedene Spurenfossilien der Skolithos-Ichnofazies, die sandig-flachmarine Ablagerungsräume charakterisiert. Es folgt die Pennrich-Formation (oberes Obercenomanium) mit dem ca. 1,50 m mächtigen plenus-Horizont und einem Transgressionskonglomerat aus bis zu 15 cm großen, gut gerundeten Rhyolith-Geröllen an der Basis. Zuoberst sind im Steinbruch noch 3–7 m gut gebankte, spiculitisch-glaukonitische Siltsteine erhalten.

Diese lithostratigraphische Abfolge ist typisch für das Osterzgebirge: marines Mittel- und Obercenomanium überlagert fluviatiles Untercenomanium. Die mittlere und obere Oberhäslich-Formation im Tharandter Wald – auflagernd auf der fluviatilen, mittleren Niederschöna-Formation und überlagert von der tiefermarinen Pennrich-Formation – ist etwa 20 m mächtig; als einziger cenomanzeitlicher Werksandstein der sächsischen Kreide wurden jeweils die obersten 5–7 m gebrochen. Bei Grillenburg transgredieren die Abfolgen der Oberhäslich- und Pennrich-Formation auch direkt auf den permischen Rhyolith der Tharandter-Wald-Caldera. Äolische Sedimente sind aus der sächsischen Kreide nicht bekannt.
Green roofs – good regulatory practices with potential to be applied in Bulgaria and North Macedonia
Authors: Bozhilova Mariam , Zhiyanski Miglena , Stojanova Biljana , Glogov Plamen
Published: December 2021

Green roofs are used worldwide to mitigate the impacts of extensive urbanization, bringing benefits on social, economic, and environmental levels. In order to promote and facilitate the construction of green roofs by private investors, many countries have developed specific legislative requirements and incentives. However, there still are countries where the construction of green roofs is not properly addressed in the legislation, and where no incentive mechanisms are developed. 

The good practices in three European countries, leaders in regards to the implementation of green roofs – the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, are analyzed in this article. A variety of incentives is introduced to accelerate the construction of green roofs. Different requirements are also set to ensure that the roofs will be designed and maintained to provide the desired benefits. The existing local regulations in Bulgaria and North Macedonia were analyzed as well. The only incentive in Bulgaria is the possibility of reducing the legally required green area by compensating it with a green roof. In North Macedonia, no legislative documents or incentives related to green roofs were found.

The regulations, applied in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and other countries can be used as good practice examples, modified, and applied from the authorities of countries that still have not developed their own, in order to motivate the investors and facilitate the construction of green roofs.
Docents and Museum Education
Authors: Schero Jennifer
Published: December 2021

Many art museums rely upon volunteers, often titled docents, to implement a range of educational offerings, including guided gallery experiences. As such, docents regularly engage visitors more than most museum staff members. A review of literature spanning over a century provides support for an examination of four reoccurring themes within museum education and docent history: uncertain definitions, professionalization, theoretical foundation, and embedded traditions. Subsequently, consideration of the past offers context for examining contemporary museum education programs that develop the capacity of docents as change agents, including offerings during the COVID-19 pandemic and developing inclusive practice through docent education. The chapter concludes with an envisioning of the future for docents within museum education.
Innovation in Civic Education
Authors: Driscoll III Tom , McCusker Shawn
Published: December 2021

Educators, advocacy groups, and policymakers are mobilizing to strengthen civic education across the nation. These renewed commitments must be designed and implemented in ways that ensure today's graduates are ready to effectively engage in modern civic life. Since civic education is key to effective participation in our democracy, ensuring a quality civic education is also an equity issue. Students must have foundational knowledge about our nation's values and government, effectively evaluate the validity of claims in digital media, take and defend positions across multiple platforms, and leverage technology to inform and mobilize their community around ideas they care about. This chapter explores proven practices in civic education and technology-enhanced instructional approaches that schools can leverage to modernize their civic education programs.
Exploring Factors Associated With Digital and Conventional Political Participation in the Caribbean
Authors: Adugu Emmanuel , Broome Pearson A
Published: December 2021

The use of social media is becoming a feature of political engagement in the Caribbean. This article investigates factors associated with digital and conventional political participation in Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana, Surinam and Haiti using 2012 AmericasBarometer dataset. Based on logistic regression, attitudinal factors positively associated with digital political participation are: political understanding, support for democracy, conventional political participation, and internet usage. Digital political action is less likely for the politically tolerant. Engagement in protest is positively associated with digital political action, signing petition, greater levels of education, being male but less likely for those who use the internet. These findings demonstrate that digital political action and conventional political participation are mutually reinforcing.

Published: December 2021

In the context of Portuguese teacher unions, the adoption of information and communication technologies is nowadays a reality. This chapter presents a brief analysis of e-participation and e-democracy, proposes a conceptual communication model for digital mediation on teachers' trade unions, and addresses an initiative carried out by the most representative teacher's union of Portugal. This proposal is based on social media principles, designed to gather teachers and unions in a shared deliberative space. The Liberopinion platform enables effective participation in formal and informal decision-making processes via the Internet, with full integration into any Website. It is improved to support Participatory budgeting. The actors were chosen from the National Federation of Teachers due to its representativeness regarding associate teachers and provide an opportunity to assess the platform potential to support participation in a union context.
E-Participating Decision-Making Mechanism in the Public Administration System
Authors: Demir Konur Alp
Published: December 2021

In this chapter, an analysis of the electronic decision making system, which is thought to benefit from the heavy bureaucratic system which does not take into account the expectations of the citizen in the public administration system, will be used to make a more flexible structure. The focus of this chapter is on the need to design the decision-making mechanisms of the state according to the expectations of the citizen. For this purpose, requests and complaints from the citizens through the electronic environment should be taken into consideration in the decision-making process. In fact, this situation is reflected in the application of electronic participation management model. The application of this management model in the public administration system is the citizen participation complaint and demand system which is carried out under the name of electronic government. The examination of this system, which is an example of the application of participatory democracy, is important for the reflection of democratic values on the administration system.
Media Literacy Facilitation as Service Learning and Public Engagement
Authors: Olson Christine , Scharrer Erica
Published: December 2021

This chapter offers insights from a 15-year partnership between a public university and local K-12 schools to explore how the facilitation of media literacy education (MLE) programs by university students can offer rewarding outcomes for both research and learning. The MLE program that serves as the case study for this chapter takes place at local elementary schools each spring in conjunction with an undergraduate communication course and includes interactive media analysis discussions as well as a culminating creative production activity. Reflections and written feedback from participating graduate, undergraduate, and elementary students emphasize the strengths of this pedagogical model for collaboration and learning while also acknowledging the practical constraints of such a partnership. By detailing the institutional-level support, instructional design, and practical implementation of this MLE program, the chapter enumerates the benefits and challenges of engaged research and service learning for advancing media literacy goals.
Bringing Arts Integration to Youth (BRAINY) at Colorado State University
Authors: Chien Ting Fang Claire , Fahey Patrick G.
Published: December 2021

In this chapter, the authors demonstrate how a university Art Education program assists the university art museum and trains students to lead tours for BRAINY (BRinging Arts INtegration to Youth), the museum's educational program for Title I schools. The authors present how they guide student educators to develop tours for BRAINY by applying different interpretive strategies. The impacts that BRAINY creates for the visiting students and local communities include 1) the enhancement of civic engagement for young citizens, 2) high-quality art experiences for Title I schools, 3) the extended community program—Family Day. The impacts on student art educators are 1) knowing how to teach art in different learning contexts that are outside of the classroom, 2) applying the questioning strategies to their classroom teaching for probing art dialogues with students, 3) learning to be prepared but also flexible for unexpected situations. This chapter provides a practical and positive example to address a wonderful collaboration between an art museum, community members, and higher education.
The Role of Smart Technologies to Support Citizen Engagement and Decision Making
Authors: Pereira Gabriela Viale , Eibl Gregor , Stylianou Constantinos , Martínez Gilberto , Neophytou Haris , Parycek Peter
Published: December 2021

Smart government relies both on the application of digital technologies to enable citizen's participation in order to achieve a high level of citizen centricity and on data-driven decision making in order to improve the quality of life of citizens. Data-driven decisions in turn depend on accessible and reliable datasets, which open government and social media data are likely to promise. The SmartGov project uses digital technologies by integrating open and social media data in Fuzzy Cognitive Maps to model real life problems and simulate different scenarios leading to better decision making. This research performed a multiple-case analysis in two pilot cities. Both municipalities use the technologies to find the best routes: Limassol to improve the garbage collection and Quart de Poblet to improve the walking routes of chaperones guiding children to school. The article proposes a generic framework for Smart City Governance focusing on the inputs and outcomes of this process in the use of technologies for policy making built based on the analysis of the SmartGov.

New media provide unique contexts to share, record, and extend civic life and motivate civic commitment in the digital era. This chapter addresses the intersection of new media, culture, and political communication by exploring youths' civic engagement in China and Japan through individual voluntarism, civic participation, and political activism. It interrogates the civic use of social network sites in the digital age so as to increase our understanding of intercultural online interactions. Through the case studies of China and Japan, this research adds to the knowledge of intercultural communication in the networked society, with its potential to promote more democratic forms of engagement between citizens and states in the contexts of new media.
Socially Responsive Museum Pedagogy
Authors: Kletchka Dana Carlisle , Casto Shelly
Published: December 2021

Art museums in the United States have long been called upon to provide educational and engaging experiences for their visitors; more recently, this expectation has expanded to address the most salient needs of local communities and respond to issues of social inequality. At The Ohio State University's Wexner Center for the Arts, these collaborations are woven into the mission of the institution and serve as a foundation of its educational framework. In this chapter, the authors highlight specific community collaborations between the Wexner Center for the Arts, the Department of Arts Administration, Education, and Policy at Ohio State, and the Columbus, Ohio, community. They suggest that these programs not only individually serve as examples for other institutions and university students engaged in museum education scholarship, but also collectively form a socially responsive museum pedagogy enacted in an ongoing cycle of collaborative inquiry.

Citizen Participation via Mobile Applications
Authors: Beutelspacher Lisa , Mainka Agnes , Siebenlist Tobias
Published: December 2021

Participatory smartphone apps empower citizens to interact with the city's administration. The purpose of this case study is to investigate the current state of participatory apps in Germany. Within this study, we examined 248 applications aimed at strengthening citizen participation. These apps were found in Google Playstore and Apple Appstore using search terms extracted from the relevant literature. Many of the apps give users the opportunity to report problems within their cities, such as broken street lamps or potholes. The information created and disseminated by the citizens through the app mainly includes the topics “mobility” and “environment.” Information provided by the city itself is much more diverse. Topics such as “Points of Interest,” “News and Events,” “Government” or “City Services” can be identified here. In the southern part of Germany, there is a significantly larger number of municipalities which have a citizen participation app. None of the apps examined uses gamification, although the use of game elements is very promising to foster the engagement and motivation of citizens.

Authors: Chummun Bibi Zaheenah , Ndlangamandla Wiseman Siboniso
Published: December 2021

The 2019-nCoV has come as an unexpected wicked challenge especially to the vulnerable ones as it has significantly affected the local economic development (LED) activities of many local people in communities of South Africa. In this chapter, the role of community education as a problem-solving measure in promoting community participation in LED will be explored as limited participation in those activities prevail especially in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic. The study provides the challenges posed by the limited participation in the communities and the economy and explains how the local participation is important through community education (CE) programmes in LED activities. Since community education indeed plays a huge role in enhancing community participation in LED activities, the government officials, policymakers and others need to work closely with local people so that they can understand the essence of socio-economic issues that communities daily encounter in the wake of the pandemic.

Boosting E-Participation
Authors: Valle-Cruz David , Sandoval-Almazan Rodrigo
Published: December 2021

In this chapter, the authors show two case studies of the use of social media in municipal governments: Lerma, a small municipality with a significant growth, and Metepec, an important municipality of the State of México. The purpose of this chapter is to provide empirical evidence of how social media improves government to citizen relationship and promotes e-participation in municipal governments. The results are based on semi-structured interviews applied to public servants and a survey to evaluate e-government services by citizens. So, the citizen perception is contrasted with public servants' interviews. Citizens consider that electronic procedures and services implemented by their municipalities do not generate value. The efforts of governments should focus on avoiding corruption, making governments transparent, opening data, and properly managing the privacy of information.

Acquiring Problem-Solving Skills Through Coding Games in Primary School
Authors: Lombardi Gaia
Published: December 2021

Play is a spontaneous and free activity of the child and its role in learning processes has been recognized by pedagogical studies from Piaget onwards. Game-based learning places the pupil at the center of the teaching-learning process, creating a motivating and challenging environment in which the pupil can learn freely, proceeding by trial and error, learning to evaluate their choices and those of other players and monitor a number of variables. Game-based learning therefore stands as an individualized and inclusive learning environment, which allows all students to achieve maximum educational success. In more recent years, the spread of online games, the use of coding as a teaching tool, and distance learning experiences have contributed to spreading game-based didactics. In this chapter, the author proposes a path of coding games for the development of problem solving in primary school with interdisciplinary links and to the mathematics curriculum.

The Process of Prosocial Behavior Between Players/Characters in Digital Games
Authors: Lim Ji Soo
Published: December 2021

To understand the influence of video games on the player, several important questions must be answered. First, what accounts for the higher level of engagement in digital games relative to other entertainment media? Furthermore, what kind of experience does the player have during gameplay? Specifically, what does the player think when he or she interacts with other characters in the game? This study examines digital games with a focus on the interaction between the game itself and the person playing it. Among the various social behaviors elicited by digital games, much attention has been given to players' prosocial behavior within the context of a game's virtual world. A multidimensional view of behavior is used to analyze the game's situational contexts and players' interpretation of behavior.
Students as Gamers
Authors: Şendurur Polat , Sendurur Emine
Published: December 2021

Games have been considered as an important part of child development and can roughly be defined as fictional structures with certain rules to be followed to achieve certain goals. Modern games (ex. Minecraft) sometimes require quite sophisticated skills to move on, and these skills mostly match up with 21st century skills. From this perspective, this chapter tries to explain the relationship between 21st century skills and game playing skills, the design thinking approach where students are game designers, coders, and players.
Project-Oriented Game-Based Learning
Authors: Brin Pavlo , Shypilova Mariia
Published: December 2021

In this chapter, the authors investigate the potential of project-oriented game-based learning in making students of educational institutes more engaged and gain a deep understanding of the curriculum content. The literature review presents the main definitions and benefits of project-oriented game-based learning, followed by its contribution to improving the performance of students' training. The results of the research are based on testing the main statements of project-oriented game-based learning empirically – if it really can provide additional value for learners in higher education. The empirical data have been collected based on Ukrainian case study and allow the authors to prove the influence of project-oriented game-based learning on increasing students' engagement, satisfaction, performance, and improving learning outcomes. The main idea of the teaching project was to take as an object of the research a character from a fairytale and analyze its managerial activities. The chapter also analyzes the e-learning instruments which can be used in remote teaching.
Fisioterapeutas e a internação psiquiátrica em hospitais gerais: cuidados e capacitação profissional
Authors: Moll Marciana Fernandes , Gimenes Gabriela Paula , Ventura Carla Aparecida Arena , Rizzo Zanardo Ana Beatriz , Beirigo Borges Giovana
Published: December 2021

Objetivo: descrever os cuidados prestados por fisioterapeutas às pessoas internadas em leitos psiquiátricos de um hospital geral, bem como a capacitação desses profissionais para oferecerem esses cuidados. Método: pesquisa descritivo-exploratória, de abordagem qualitativa, realizada com seis fisioterapeutas que atuam em um hospital universitário. De agosto a setembro de 2017, realizou-se a coleta dos dados utilizando a entrevista semiestruturada. Após a transcrição, os dados foram analisados por meio da Análise de Conteúdo Temática de Bardin. Resultados: emergiram como categorias: “Os cuidados oferecidos pelo fisioterapeuta para as pessoas em leitos psiquiátricos de um hospital geral” e “(Des) preparo do fisioterapeuta para o cuidado com o indivíduo hospitalizado com transtorno mental”. Evidenciou-se que os profissionais manifestam a necessidade do olhar biopsicossocial, mas priorizam apenas o fortalecimento e o alongamento muscular na prestação de cuidados. Verificou-se, também, que a ausência de acesso a conteúdo que aborde a Psiquiatria durante a graduação pode justificar o despreparo para uma assistência integral. Conclusão: o cuidado centrado na cinesioterapia e o despreparo dos profissionais participantes do estudo para a assistência em psiquiatria parecem resultar da insuficiência de conhecimentos centrados na reabilitação psicossocial.

Authors: RilleraMarzo Roy , Villanueva Emilio Quilatan , Chandra Udita , Htay Mila Nu Nu , Shrestha Rajeev , Shrestha Sunil
Published: December 2021

Background

COVID-19 pandemic has caused an extraordinary situation, especially for the healthcare workers (HCWs), leading to increased psychological stress. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of different grades of anxiety and depression across different centers in the Philippines and identify demographic factors associated with them.

Design and Method

A cross-sectional, web-based, multi-center study was conducted among HCWs of Philippines from April 20- May 20, 2020. The study instruments used were the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scale and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Risk perception scores were analyzed using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test. Logistic regression was done to identify factors significantly associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression determined.

Results

A total of 516 HCWs were included in the study. Most of them have anxiety symptoms (70.74%), but only half of them have symptoms of depression (50.97%). In addition, gender, age, marital status, living status, occupation, work premises, and availability of mental health services were significantly associated with the participants' anxiety symptoms. In contrast, gender, marital status, occupation, and work premises were significantly associated with depression symptoms.

Conclusion

This study reiterates the fact and demonstrates that COVID-19 has disrupted the mental well-being of HCWs in the Philippines. Majority of HCW was psychologically affected by COVID-19. Therefore, there is a dire need to address mental illness amongst HCWs and frame guidelines based on proven algorithms to overcome these mental illnesses.
Interactive Activities to Aid in a Comprehensive Understanding of Mental Health Within the Professional Athletic Training Curriculum
Authors: Ostrowski Jennifer Lynn , Gray Ashley , Payne Ellen K. , Wilkenfeld David , Scifers James R.
Published: December 2021

Context

Mental health is a significant issue in the United States, with approximately 18.5% of adults and 22% of adolescents having a diagnosable mental illness. Athletic trainers are in a prime position to recognize signs of mental health illness in their patients and to facilitate referral to a mental health professional.

Objective

To introduce interactive approaches for developing mental health first aid and referral skills in professional athletic training students.

Background

Although the 2020 Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education curricular content standards require programs to educate students about identification and referral for mental health conditions, the standards do not provide specific suggestions for instructing this content.

Description

Three educational activities have been implemented into the curriculum: an exploratory counseling session, Mental Health First Aid certification, and a standardized patient encounter.

Clinical Advantage(s)

The exploratory counseling session improves athletic training students' empathy for individuals living with mental illness. The Mental Health First Aid curriculum has been shown to raise awareness of mental health conditions and positively influence the number of people who receive professional help. Standardized patient scenarios have been shown to increase critical thinking and confidence with mental health cases and to increase knowledge in mental health assessment.

Conclusion(s)

Students' reflections support that these components have increased their competence and confidence in recognizing, intervening, and making referrals for individuals with suspected mental health concerns.
Repositioning the Swellendam Municipal Area as a Tourist Destination: Trends, Destination Marketing and Place Branding
Authors: Donaldson Ronnie , Du Toit-Helmbold Mariette , Bolton Annareth
Published: December 2021

In 2017 the Swellendam Tourism Bureau’s board adopted a new marketing brand for the municipality under the banner Cape Trade Route. The brand was introduced without using any market intelligence to inform it. The Swellendam Municipality subsequently resolved that any new tourism strategy had to be informed by current market research, including media, trade and industry sentiments about the region. This paper reports on five sets of empirical evidence collected by various means to better understand Swellendam’s tourism brand and marketing strategies. They are (1) workshops with business and community roleplayers; (2) an online questionnaire survey conducted with tourist-aligned enterprises in the Swellendam municipal area; (3) a content analysis of traditional and social media relating to Swellendam; (4) a visitor interview survey; and (5) a snap review of sixteen tour operators’ opinions about Swellendam as a tourism region. The findings highlight the crucial role of sound market intelligence in creating tourism marketing strategies for municipalities. The reported findings and the recommendations made have subsequently informed the municipality’s spatial development framework and tourism strategy.

Published: December 2021

Restaurants in Zimbabwe have various gastronomic opportunities as Zimbabwean cuisine as it is represented by different ethnic groups, presenting an array of traditional cuisine. At the same time, gastronomic tourism needs to be innovative to survive the harsh travel restrictions and economic downturn caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. As Zimbabwe’s culinary tourism is still in its infancy it will require a post-pandemic recovery strategy. As aspect of this is the attitudes of diners. Thus, the purpose of this study is an examination of the relationship between the Culinary Tourist Value Scorecard (CTVSC) and the behavioural involvement of culinary tourists after visiting Zimbabwean ethnic restaurants. A cross-sectional survey, using a seven-point Likert scale, was employed to generate the data from 500 culinary tourists through convenience sampling. The scores between CTVSC and Culinary Tourist Behavioural Involvement (CTBI) were statistically significant (r = .80, n = 500, p<.001). Thus, hospitality managers must monitor and improve their culinary products while also meeting the needs of first-time and returning diners. It is recommended that state-of-the-art ethnic cuisine menus and refined the service offerings are adopted.
A impugnação da colaboração premiada pelo delatado na jurisprudência do STF: uma análise de seus fundamentos e elementos para uma compreensão penal do negócio jurídico
Authors: da Costa De-Lorenzi Felipe , Ceolin Guilherme Francisco
Published: December 2021

A jurisprudência recente do Supremo Tribunal Federal estabeleceu que o terceiro delatado não tem legitimidade e interesse para impugnar o acordo de colaboração premiada. O objetivo deste artigo é examinar os argumentos utilizados pelo tribunal para tanto. De início, apresenta-se o histórico do tema na jurisprudência da Corte e, em seguida, são tecidas considerações sobre a natureza jurídica da colaboração premiada, com foco em sua caracterização como negócio jurídico. Passa-se, então, à análise dos argumentos utilizados pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, que dizem respeito à interpretação do acordo de colaboração premiada sob a ótica da teoria civilista dos contratos e à inexistência de prejuízo ao delatado pela celebração do acordo em si. Aponta-se a impropriedade da leitura civilista da colaboração premiada, bem como que, ainda que ela fosse correta, o recurso ao caráter de negócio jurídico personalíssimo e ao princípio res inter alios acta não acarretariam a impossibilidade de o terceiro prejudicado impugnar o acordo. Ademais, sustenta-se que o delatado é afetado pelo acordo de colaboração premiada e que tem interesse e legitimidade para impugná-lo em caso de invalidade, em razão do efeito das invalidades do negócio jurídico sobre a prova dele derivada. Por fim, são apresentadas reflexões preliminares para uma concepção publicista do negócio jurídico, inspiradas na doutrina dos contratos do Direito Administrativo.
Islamic architecture in Tbilisi and Batumi: Muslim heritage in Georgia
Authors: Piwko Aldona
Published: December 2021

Georgia’s cultural wealth is the result of the country’s centuries-old history and complex ethnic, religious and political relations. Islam, present in these areas since the seventh century, was of significant importance for the shaping of Georgian architecture. Architectural elements characteristic of Middle Eastern art were thus transferred to a Christian country. Arabs and Persians left behind buildings and ornamental details. The article is the result of field research carried out in Georgia, the purpose of which was to identify the issues of shaping and preserving memory and cultural and religious identity in the Muslim community. Georgian Muslim architecture is heavily neglected and requires increased protection, and above all significant financial resources that are difficult to obtain from a small number of Islamic communities. On the other hand, contemporary trends in Georgian architecture are realized and financed by Muslim businesses.
Upper paired domination versus upper domination
Authors: Alizadeh Hadi , Gözüpek Didem
Published: December 2021

A paired dominating set $P$ is a dominating set with the additional property
that $P$ has a perfect matching. While the maximum cardainality of a minimal
dominating set in a graph $G$ is called the upper domination number of $G$,
denoted by $\Gamma(G)$, the maximum cardinality of a minimal paired dominating
set in $G$ is called the upper paired domination number of $G$, denoted by
$\Gamma_{pr}(G)$. By Henning and Pradhan (2019), we know that
$\Gamma_{pr}(G)\leq 2\Gamma(G)$ for any graph $G$ without isolated vertices. We
focus on the graphs satisfying the equality $\Gamma_{pr}(G)= 2\Gamma(G)$. We
give characterizations for two special graph classes: bipartite and unicyclic
graphs with $\Gamma_{pr}(G)= 2\Gamma(G)$ by using the results of Ulatowski
(2015). Besides, we study the graphs with $\Gamma_{pr}(G)= 2\Gamma(G)$ and a
restricted girth. In this context, we provide two characterizations: one for
graphs with $\Gamma_{pr}(G)= 2\Gamma(G)$ and girth at least 6 and the other for
$C_3$-free cactus graphs with $\Gamma_{pr}(G)= 2\Gamma(G)$. We also pose the
characterization of the general case of $C_3$-free graphs with $\Gamma_{pr}(G)=
2\Gamma(G)$ as an open question.
E-learning Facilities for Teaching Secondary School Physics: Awareness, Availability and Utilization
Authors: Bada Abiodun A. , Jita Loyiso C.
Published: December 2021

Secondary school physics contribute significantly to the technological development of a nation because it lays the foundation for further studies in physics. Physics is an abstract science subject that relies greatly on practical, and the crucial role played by the use of instructional materials especially, e-learning facilities in this 21st century cannot be over emphasized. This study investigates the awareness, availability and utilization of e-learning facilities among secondary school physics teachers. We adopt the descriptive survey design which involved 78 physics teachers, randomly selected from all the secondary schools in Ondo, Nigeria. A researcher designed checklist was used to collect data for this study. Three research questions were answered using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation) and the findings from this investigation revealed that physics teachers are aware of most of the e-learning facilities for teaching secondary school physics but only few of these facilities are readily available for teaching physics. This investigation also revealed that only one of these e-learning facilities (desktop computer) was utilized by secondary school physics teachers. This study conclude that e-learning facilities were not used in teaching secondary school physics in Ondo. Based on this findings, physics teachers are encouraged to use the few e-learning facilities that are available in secondary schools. Also, government education agencies and school management team are encouraged to further stress the importance of using the available e-learning facilities for teaching secondary school physics through in-service trainings and workshops.

Korekcija određivanja položaja regulacione preklopke iz struja i napona primara i sekundara po snimljenim vrednostima pojedinačnog transformatora
Authors: Spremić Siniša , Obradović Dušan

The paper considers the possibility of direct error correction when determining the position of the control switch from the primary and secondary voltages of individual transformers that have a larger number of recorded measured values of voltage and current in a smaller or larger load range. The direct correction builds on the previously performed error correction from the voltage drop on the transformer impedance, which is used to calculate the position of the control switch using voltage. Direct correction is performed by determining the mean value of all points and then subtracting the determined mean value from the value of individual points.

Budget-performance simulations: A Pedagogical example
Authors: KARA Ahmet
Published: December 2021

Purpose: This paper has two main purposes, the first of which is to present a simple pedagogical example of budget-performance simulations that can be used for instructional purposes. The second purpose is to formulate a research hypothesis about the effects, on the overall performance, of (i) the overall level of physical and academic-managerial human capital investments and (ii) the allocation of resources between physical capital and academic-managerial human capital.
Method: We have employed a system dynamics method so as to construct a simplified setup (model) where some pedagogically illustrative components of the budget are specified and linked to an elementarily exemplified performance function. We have then simulated the investment-based performance trajectories to demonstrate the findings of the paper. We have shown how to undertake a policy-based optimization as well. The method (system dynamics) we have chosen is suitable for the modeling of complexly-interwoven optimization and simulation processes.
Findings: Through simulation and policy-based performance optimization exercises, we have demonstrated that the physical and academic-managerial capital investments matter and there exists an optimal allocation of resources that maximizes the university performance.
Originality: There is a need for a comprehensive and in-depth examination/inquiry of the performance optimization and simulation processes associated with the higher education institutions. This article represents a modest contribution to such an inquiry.
