Predictors of passengers’ satisfaction with long-distance coach liners in South Africa
Authors: Amoah Felix , Van Eyk Marlé , Yolokazi Mthi
Published: July 2022

Background: Long-distance coach liner bus transportation forms an important economic sector in South Africa as it contributes to the gross domestic product (GDP) and employment, and significantly impacts the daily life activities of many people. While this is commendable, there have been reports relating to inefficiency, reliability (late arrivals and departure times) and safety concerns. These concerns have the potential to negatively impact on passengers’ satisfaction.Aim: No South African investigative research study could be found on the predictors of passengers’ satisfaction with long-distance coach liners. This study was conducted to identify predictors of passengers’ satisfaction with long-distance coach liners in South Africa.Setting: The target respondents were passengers who recently travelled on a long-distance coach liner in South Africa. The potential respondent had to be at least 18 years of age.Methods: Primary data were collected using an online survey, and respondents recruited through convenience and snowball sampling. Of the 409 questionnaires received, 399 useful questionnaires were included in the data analysis.Results: The results of the study indicate that peace of mind (β = 0.552, p = 0.000) and efficiency (β = 0.455, p = 0.000) have a predictive power on passengers’ satisfaction.Conclusion: The findings suggest that when there is an improvement in peace of mind and/or efficiency, passengers’ satisfaction will also improve. It is thus recommended that operators/managers of long-distance coach liners prioritise the elements that contribute to peace of mind at all touchpoints (e.g. safety, security, privacy, professionalism of drivers) and efficiency in delivering services to passengers (e.g. reliability and punctuality).
‘I will marry Ruth so that the name of the dead will not be blotted out’: Exploring הסך (hesed) in Ruth 4:1–13
Authors: Odo Damian O. , Ugwu Collins I.
Published: July 2022

The literary construct of Ruth 4:1–13, which borders on the marriage union of Boaz and Ruth, is underscored with the loving-kindness of God. Boaz was not obligated under any legal requirement to marry Ruth. However, following the kinsman-redeemer’s abdication of his right of inheritance, Boaz declared in an unrestrained utterance before the elders of the Israelite society his intention to marry Ruth (the Moabite woman and the wife of the dead Mahlon) in order to perpetuate the name of Mahlon. It was considered a great misfortune in ancient Israel for a man to die without having a son to continue the family name. This decision of Boaz in accepting to take the responsibility of a redeemer for Ruth is arguably a demonstration of kindness, for this gesture surpasses the call of required responsibility. This study adopted a literary approach to read the text of Ruth 4:1–13 against the sociological lens of ethnic exclusion.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The pericope of Ruth 4:1–13 celebrated Boaz’s marriage with Ruth in order to perpetuate the name of the dead amongst his clan in Israelite society. Boaz truly understood the threat of family extinction that weighed upon Naomi and Ruth, and hence, he was stimulated to take the responsibility of a redeemer for Ruth so that Elimelech’s family would not be blotted out amongst his people. Disciplines implicated were Old Testament exegesis and sociology.
Left intermittent theta burst stimulation combined with right low-frequency rTMS as an additional treatment for major depression
Authors: Mi Yuwei , Ji Yunxin , Lou Zhongze , Hou Yanbin , Ruan Liemin
Published: July 2022

Background:

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an effective treatment for major depression (MD). We retrospectively analyzed the efficacy of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) on the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) combined with low-frequency rTMS (LF-rTMS) on the right DLPFC as an additional therapy to standard medication treatment.

Materials and Methods:

The study included 54 patients with MD who completed 10 courses (5 days per week) of rTMS as an add-on therapy. Thirty patients were treated in the combination group (120% resting motor threshold; left DLPFC, iTBS, 600 stimuli + right DLPFC, 1-Hz rTMS, 600 stimuli), while 24 patients were in the high-frequency rTMS (HF-rTMS) group (120% resting motor threshold; left DLPFC, 10-Hz rTMS, 3000 stimuli). The outcome was assessed based on the changes in scores of 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-24) and 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA-14).

Results:

Both depression and anxiety were significantly improved after 2 weeks of treatment by rTMS combined with medication. The combination of iTBS and LF-rTMS was significantly superior to HF-rTMS in improving the scores of HAMD-24 (P = 0.041) and HAMA-14 (P = 0.0095), and the response rate (P = 0.027).

Conclusion:

The pilot study showed that the combination of iTBS and LF-rTMS may hold promise as a potentially effective alternative therapy for MD due to its efficacy and time-saving benefit. The preliminary results shed light on the study of the efficacy and acceptability of the combination of iTBS and LF-rTMS for MD.

Hábitos de uso de los videojuegos en España entre los mayores de 35 años
Authors: Parra Valcarce David , García de Diego Martínez Antonio , Pérez-Martín Joaquín
Published: July 2022

Los videojuegos demuestran un creciente grado de implantación social, particularmente perceptible en los países más desarrollados. Tal circunstancia se manifiesta porque su influencia ya no se limita exclusivamente a los grupos poblacionales más jóvenes sino que actualmente alcanzan la totalidad de la sociedad. Conjuntamente con innovaciones como la televisión, internet o la telefonía móvil, los videojuegos están contribuyendo a modificar el tradicional proceso de acceso y transmisión del conocimiento, que pasa de basarse en la lectura del texto escrito a la contemplación de contenidos audiovisuales y multimedia. Este artículo, que se basa en una investigación planteada a más de 900 individuos, analiza cuál es su grado de implantación en España entre las personas mayores de 35 años y cuáles son los hábitos de uso de esta tecnología entre dicho grupo poblacional. Para ello examina variables como hábitos de juego por edades, dedicación diaria, franjas del día y de la semana más habituales y aspectos más valorados en los videojuegos
Cuando la negatividad llega a lo local: publicidad política en tres elecciones estatales en México
Authors: Juárez Gámiz Julio , Echeverría Victoria Martín
Published: July 2022

La investigación sobre publicidad política ha sido escasa en México y se ha centrado principalmente en las campañas presidenciales. Sin embargo, existen 32 estados que celebran elecciones gubernamentales cada seis años y en donde recientemente se ha manifestado una ola de publicidad televisiva negativa. Este estudio se enfoca, por tanto, en tres campañas gubernamentales recientes en lugares tan contrastantes como  Baja California (2007) en la frontera norte, Yucatán (2007) en el sureste, y la Ciudad de México (2006); en ellas se exploran las características de la publicidad política comparando a los partidos políticos y los estados, utilizando para ello el método de análisis de contenido con énfasis en las variables de los temas y de las estrategias comunicativas. Concluimos que el negativismo no puede ser definido sin tomar en cuenta el contexto en el cual ocurre la elección, y que “blanquear” las campañas puede convertir a las competencias políticas en ejercicios auto referenciales que no satisfacen las necesidades informativas de los votantes.

Authors: Gutiérrez San Miguel Begoña , Rodríguez Fidalgo Maribel , Gallego Santos María del Camino
Published: July 2022

La columna vertebral en torno a la que se articulan todas las televisiones, bien sean nacionales, regionales o locales, son los informativos. Estos formatos o géneros televisivos se han ido mixtificando con el tiempo. La información ha variado su esencia, ha adquirido un nuevo formato. Teniendo como punto de partida estos aspectos esta investigación plantea el análisis de la evolución del lenguaje utilizado en los informativos televisivos españoles, desde sus inicios en TV hasta la actualidad.La presente investigación se ha ido desarrollando a lo largo tres fases diferentes; la primera a finales de los años 80, la segunda en los 90 y la tercera en la actualidad, a través de una serie de encuestas realizadas a una población heterogénea.

Los resultados obtenidos nos permiten constatar que los informativos puros han ido adquiriendo unas formas narrativas cambiantes a lo largo de su existencia comenzando con la información “objetiva”, pasando por la información vehiculizada, a la dramatización por medio de las imágenes de impacto y finalmente a la dramatización narrativa con la sensibilización e identificación de los personajes La espectacularización de la información se convierte en la seña de identidad de los nuevos informativos en pro de alcanzar un mayor número de audiencia.

Published: July 2022

La Comunidad Autónoma de Aragón (España) es una de las pioneras en su plena adaptación a los parámetros y exigencias que plantea el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior [1]. En el curso académico 2008-2009, las universidades aragonesas con enseñanza presencial iniciaron los planes de estudio bajo la filosofía del conocido “modelo Bolonia” en la enseñanza de sus respectivos grados de las titulaciones de Comunicación.En el presente artículo, analizamos el proceso de iniciación que han seguido los estudios, tanto en la universidad pública (Universidad de Zaragoza, UNIZAR) como en la universidad privada (Universidad San Jorge, USJ).El principal objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar el modo en el que se han empezado a implantar los nuevos planes de estudio en Comunicación nacidos dentro del marco europeo común, para a partir de ahí realizar una primera evaluación acerca de las nuevas formas de aprender que exige la puesta en marcha de este modelo de enseñanza universitaria.

De este modo, concluiremos con los resultados que hasta el momento se han obtenido con la aplicación de los métodos activos de aprendizaje orientados a la adquisición de competencias profesionales y fundamentados en conceptos como el aprendizaje flexible y en el “long life learning” (LLL).En definitiva, se trata de identificar las principales claves del cambio de paradigma que supone Bolonia en los estudios de Comunicación y de cómo y con qué resultados concretos se están traduciendo las novedades introducidas tanto en los contenidos de los grados como en la metodología docente utilizada, a partir de la experiencia llevada a cabo en Aragón.

Annona squamosa is a fruit plant of gastronomic interest, with great potential for bioprospecting. Parts of the plant are used by folk medicine for the treatment of various diseases, and studies have already proven many of its activities, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antitumor and anti-inflammatory. This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical content of the aqueous extract of the fruit peel. Samples were acquired from local stores during the first harvest period of the year, for three consecutive years. The extract was performed with dehydrated and pulverized samples and the phytochemical screening followed the specifications for each chemical class. The average yield of the aqueous extract was 36.6%, ranging from 35.3% to 38.1%. There was no significant difference in the yield of the aqueous extract over the three years analyzed. The screening indicated the presence of carbohydrate and several phenolic compounds. The aqueous extract of Annona squamosa showed consistency in terms of yield and its phytochemical profile presents a vast number of compounds of biotechnological interest.

: Dynamic global cultural movements, change in needs according to the digital age, and richness of simulacra available through the classical means of the media scene (radio, television, and film) and the internet (social networks, websites, and blogs), are exerting more intense intercultural influences, but also forcing the mutation of people’s value attitudes for the sake of an easy and luxurious life and eternal youth in the promised virtual world, behind whose images, most often, lies nothing more than a naked and not at all beautiful reality. At a time when the antiheroes of the story of Pinocchio are slowly taking the position of heroes, the challenge is to understand this story as a way of preserving universal values and virtues, kind words, love and friendship, and goodness as essential life energy. It is to be done through a medium ‒ book, without the intention of denying to the younger generations what is to them, as digital natives, closer and more necessary than it was to previous generations. Therefore, we examined Collodi’s Pinocchio, a story about a mischievous boy and endless paternal love, written in the 19th century, but quite actual and close to young readers, from several perspectives: reading lists prescribed by school curricula, possibilities of interpreting the story from the point of view of values and virtues, and using different mediatic forms, including the newest one ‒ digital.

Published: July 2022

This paper deals with the importance of the development of moral thinking, through the interpretation of novels in upper classes of elementary school. A good interpretation starts with student’s experience and assessment of main characters’ acts and their attitudes. Within school classes, it is possible to follow the moral development of students, which is the aim of this paper. In adolescents aged 11 to 14, abstract, logical thinking is developed, as well as inductive-deductive reasoning; therefore, the starting point of this study is based on psychological theories of moral thinking development. By giving concrete methodological examples based on Hoffman’s theory of morality, it is shown how the moral development of students is encouraged and built by interpreting literary works – novels (novels included in the elementary school curriculum). The contribution of this paper is based on the assessment of students’ moral development at certain age.

Using analytical-synthetic and comparative procedures, the paper discusses T. Rosić’s novels for children, with special attention to the transposition of mythological representations. The writer deliberately reaches a character-religious supernorm, as well as the aesthetic absolute, and the perfection of cosmic harmony. In his narration, the divine character preserves the functions of a higher corrective of human presence to the world. Tiodor Rosić systematizes the religious feeling, the feeling of God in Serbian cultural tradition – as a predestination of the values that have the power of enrichment his narration with mythological elements. The aim of this paper is to define the problem of transposition of mythological elements in T. Rosić’s novels for children, and to shed some light on man’s search for God’s truth and justice, to point to the value and beauty of narration of this Serbian writer.

The term‚ resource efficiency in agriculture’ can be broadly defined to include the concepts of technical skills, allocation skills and environmental skills. Logically all innovative farmers will try to maximize their farm income by allocating resources in an efficient manner. But as resources and managerial efficiency of different farmers vary broadly, the net returns per unit of inputs used also vary significantly from farm to farm and region to region.

Authors: Jain Sonu
Published: July 2022

The growth trends in area, production and productivity of isabgol in Nagaur district and in the Rajasthan state as a whole have been estimated by the three growth rate functions/models like linear, semi-log and compound models. The estimates of growth rates pertained to the period from 2009-10 to 2018-19. In this analysis, semi-log growth function was found to bebest fitted model as it is having highest value of R2 (coefficient of determination) and lowest value of RMSE (root mean square error). Findings showed that growth trends in area, production and productivity of isabgol in Nagaur district were significantly increased at a semi-log growth rate of 6.18, 10.34 and 6.31 per cent per annum during the study period, respectively. In Rajasthan state as a whole for the period 2009-10 to 2018-19, growth rates in area, production and productivity of isabgol were found significantly positive at the rate of 9.55 per cent per annum in area, 15.85 per cent per annum ain production and 6.18 per cent per annum in productivity, respectively. The result of the study indicated that the increase in production was attributed to the area and productivity of isabgol crop in Nagaur as well as Rajasthan state. It may be recommended that there is a need to increase the productivity of the crop mainly by developing improved varieties of isabgol suiting to the changing agro climatic condition of the state.

Biofilmes de acetato de celulose incorporados com laponita e repelentes para o controle de Tuta Absoluta
Authors:   , Oliveira Ana Rita de
Published: July 2022

A praga do tomateiro, Tuta Absoluta, é uma praga severa que causa grandes prejuízos em cultivos de tomate. Os inseticidas sintéticos têm sido, atualmente, o principal meio utilizado para combater a proliferação da praga, todavia, o seu uso intenso, além de danoso ao ambiente, pode ser prejudicial à saúde humana, bem como contribuir para a evolução acelerada de populações de insetos resistentes às substâncias ativas. Desta forma torna-se necessária a investigação de novas alternativas que sejam capazes de mitigar efeitos danosos dos inseticidas sintéticos no controle de pragas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi de sintetizar e caracterizar biofilmes de acetato de celulose, incorporados (FACL) ou não (FAC) com laponita e diferentes aleloquímicos: 2-TD (2-tridecanona), 3-TD (3-tridecanona), 2-UD (2- undecanona) e CAR (β-cariofileno) para aplicação no controle da praga do tomateiro chamada de Tuta Absoluta. As técnicas de caracterização dos materiais produzidos utilizadas foram: Difração de Raios X no Pó (DRXP) e Espectroscopia de absorção molecular na região do Infravermelho com Transformada de Fourier (FTIR-ATR). Bioensaios foram realizados com os biofilmes produzidos, e estes trouxeram informações a cerca da repelência/atratividade exercida sobre os insetos, visando o controle da Tuta Absoluta. Os resultados mostraram que o FAC incorporado com a 3-tridecanona após 6 dias apresentou 1,8 vezes mais atratividade pela praga do que o controle. Já os FACL incorporados com 2-undecanona e 3-tridecanona mostraram 3,8 e 2,5 vezes menos atratividade que o controle, respectivamente. Ou seja, os filmes FACL com 2-UD e 3-TD indicaram que podem ser potenciais repelentes da praga do tomateiro. Então a presença da laponita sugere que a mesma pode ter exercido um papel importante para diminuir a velocidade de saída dos gases, contribuindo significativamente para que a repelência do filme ocorra de forma mais lenta.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to establish the relationship between human capital as one of the key factors and performance of government aided primary schools in Isingiro district, Uganda.

Methodology: A cross sectional research design and post-positivist paradigm were used to collect data from 118 government aided primary schools in Isingiro district, Uganda where 475 respondents participated in the study. The study used closed-ended questionnaires, interview guide and checklists. The schools to be included were selected using simple random sampling and were considered as unit of analysis while the respondents who included District officials, head teachers, teachers and school management committee members formed the unit of enquiry, these were selected purposively based on the knowledge they had on the subject matter. Each school selected, provided the information from the respondents who in this case were the head teacher, two (2) teachers and a chairperson of school management committee.

Findings: The  findings of the study revealed  a positive significant relationship between human capital issues and performance of government aided primary school at 99% level of confidence (r=.385, p<.01), thus rejecting the null hypothesis  (Ho1). The results signified that improved human capital is highly associated with good performance of government aided primary schools in Isingiro district, Uganda.

Unique Contribution to Theory and Practice: The Unique contribution of this study was, to suggest to planners and managers of government aided primary schools that, since human capital is important for the improvement of primary school performance, the government should impose the human capital law for government aided primary school teachers which possibly caters for teachers’ productivity when given some due care and attention. In addition, the Ministry of Education & Sports should create social benefits for government aided primary school teachers as a means to enhance their wellbeing and motivate them. Moreover, it is also recommended that government aided primary schools’ teachers be given some training and professional workshops to increase their experience and productivity which could probably motivate them and hence perform better at schools.

The Response Of Dormant Norway And Sugar Maples To Simulated De-Icing Salt Spray
Authors: Simini M. , Leone I. A.
Published: July 2022

Norway maple and sugar maple trees sprayed during dormancy with salt solutions simulating salt spray along heavily salted roads in winter were less vigorous than those not exposed to salt. Fresh and dry weights of leaves, stems, and roots; height increase, and total shoot growth were greater in the unsalted trees. The percent of buds opened was also slightly greater on the unsalted plants. Percent dry weight was lower for the unsalted plants, indicating a higher water content than in the salted trees. Trees which were exposed to ambient conditions following the salt spray were generally in better condition than those protected from precipitation. Salt deposited on plant parts was probably washed away, preventing injury.
An Attractive Alternative To Tree Trimming For Line Clearance

Penelec planted 3,000 compatible tree species under power lines in the city of Erie and nearby Millcreek Township in 1960. The trees were located along streets under Penelec’s power lines at locations where there were no existing trees. During the 25 years that have passed since 1960, there was no need for line clearance tree trimming on any of the trees planted. A survey done in 1984 shows that 1,160 trees (39%) have survived after 25 years in good condition. Several species show exceptionally good survival rates including the flowering crab, Washington hawthorn, and the Chinese cork. Penelec based its new tree replacement program on the results of this early tree planting.

This paper analyzes the effects of NAFTA in the Mexican agriculture sector. For that purpose, some indicators of trade in key sectors related to food chain are shown, for México and US. We will try to prove the inefficiency of the regulating mechanisms designed by the Mexican state to strengthen the agrifood sector and thus guarantee food security. After twenty years, the results continue to register profound asymmetries between the three countries with results mostly unfavorable to Mexico.

Reconstrucción estética del labio leporino con relleno de ácido hialurónico
Authors: Catalán Terraza Ana María
Published: July 2022

"El caso clínico que se presenta corresponde a una paciente con labio leporino bilateral, secuelas de cicatrices en la zona del filtrum, aplanamiento del labio superior y ausencia de volumen en el lado derecho del bermellón. El objetivo de la intervención es disimular y reducir las cicatrices del filtrum y reconstruir el perfil labial, devolviendo el volumen a la zona deprimida a través de una técnica mínimamente invasiva de bioplastia mediante infiltraciones de ácido hialurónico (AH) reticulado. Se utilizó una técnica de tunelización para lograr el desbridamiento del tejido que se encuentra altamente fibrosado en el hemilabio derecho. El procedimiento se realizó con anestesia loco-regional y se recomienda repetir dos veces al año para mantener los buenos resultados. El grado de satisfacción de la paciente y del profesional se midieron a través de una escala idéntica. La corrección del inestetismo mejoró la autoestima de la paciente y su calidad de vida, así como propició su inserción en el mundo laboral y en el entorno social."
SALARIO Y PAGO TEMPORAL POR PRODUCCIÓN EN LA AGROINDUSTRIA CANAVIEIRA DE PARAÍBA
Authors: Bezerra Lucas
Published: July 2022

El artículo analiza los fundamentos y contradicciones del salario temporal y el pago por la producción en el trabajo en la agricultura en el Complejo Agroindustrial Canavieiro da Paraíba en la década de 2000. Aquí se argumenta que el pago por producción (por tonelada cortada) se configura como la modalidad salarial más adecuada a las prácticas vigentes en el sector azucarero porque articula alta productividad e intensificación del trabajo. Metodológicamente, bajo categorías de la crítica de la economía política, se utiliza el enfoque cualitativo que resulta de una investigación empírica. El artículo cuestiona, en resumen, las consecuencias de los salarios temporales y el pago por producción sobre los trabajadores.
