The Picaresque Novel as Eclectic Translation: Composing Heteroglossia
Authors: Maia Rita Bueno
Published: January 2022

This chapter examines the history of translation in/of the picaresque novel in relation to the concepts of heteroglossia (Bakhtin, 1935) and intertextuality (Kristeva, 1984), studying the systematic strategy of borrowing intertexts that may be said to have played an important role in the development of the picaresque novel in Spanish, French, and Portuguese as a heteroglossic genre. The first part discusses the theoretical framework and designates as intertexts the translated fragments inserted as episodes or intercalary short stories into Spanish, French, and Portuguese picaresque novels. The chapter contends that the identification of such (translated) intertexts allows picaresque novels from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries to be described as eclectic translations (Ringmar, 2007). The second section dialogues with previous critical works on Guzmán de Alfarache (1599 and 1604) and Gil Blas de Santillane (1715–35) that have demonstrated the presence of a strong component of translation in the making of the picaresque novel, first in Spanish (Berruezo, 2011) and later in French (Cavillac, 1984). The last section uncovers alien discourses within four picaresque novels published in Portuguese in mid-nineteenth-century Paris.
Heterolingualism in the Novel: Soinujolearen semea and its Adaptations for Theater and Cinema
Authors: Agirrezabalaga Elizabete Manterola
Published: January 2022

Focusing on contemporary Iberia, this chapter examines the shifts that occur between a literary work and its film and stage versions in order to delve into the presence of heterolingualism in adapted artistic products. The case study for this investigation is the 2003 Basque novel Soinujolearen semea [The Accordionist’s Son] by Bernardo Atxaga and its Spanish collaborative (self-)translation, its Basque and Spanish adaptations for stage, and the feature film in Basque. The chapter analyzes the way in which multilingualism has been reflected both in the Spanish translation and in the dramatized reinterpretations of the story, as it needs to be adjusted to the language(s) of each medium. The aim is therefore twofold: on the one hand, to investigate the extent to which adaptations between modalities shift the way language is used to narrate a story; and on the other, to study the Basque author’s role when intervening in intersemiotic processes.
Iberian Theatre Translated into Portuguese in the Twenty-First Century
Authors: Fernandes Ângela
Published: January 2022

Considering the specificities of theatre translation and its relationship with staging and performance, this chapter deals with the Portuguese publishing market and the editing of Iberian plays in Portuguese translation since the beginning of the twenty-first century. There is special focus on the book series ‘Livrinhos de Teatro’, published in Lisbon by theatre company Artistas Unidos and publishing house Cotovia. It is noted that, from an Iberian point of view, ‘Livrinhos de Teatro’ has been offering translated work from both Spanish and Catalan contemporary playwrights. The series has always counted on institutional support to promote both direct translations and editions of all the plays. Finally, the chapter examines the translation options proposed for the Portuguese title of the play Últimas Palabras de Copito de Nieve by Spanish playwright Juan Mayorga, and argues in favour of the new Iberian ‘contact zone’ that is being built in twenty-first-century theatre translation.
The Black and the Red
Authors: Stovall Tyler
Published: January 2022

In the fall of 1919 black sharecroppers in Elaine Arkansas attempted to organize a union to fight for better conditions. The local white population responded with a massacre, killing at least one hundred blacks, and more likely 200-250. The Elaine Arkansas massacre thus stands out as one of the worst instances of racial violence against blacks in American history. This essay considers the Elaine massacre in the context of the broader global history of race and working-class insurgency in 1919, exploring how it relates to the three themes of labor militancy, race riots, and colonial uprisings. It argues that the massacre was both the repression of a union movement and at the same time a racial pogrom, and looks at the ways in which these two different but related characteristics interacted both at the time and in our conceptualizations of the event ever since. Finally, it asks the question: how does the intersection of race and class in Elaine shape our understanding of the revolutionary nature of 1919 in general? Elaine Arkansas in 1919 was a small, rural town far removed from the dramas of Paris and Petrograd, but its terrible history nonetheless has much to teach us about the events of that momentous year.
Conclusion
Authors: Wetmore Kevin J.
Published: January 2022

The volume concludes with “What Exactly is Conjured in The Conjuring?” After all, if the film is called The Conjuring, something must have been summoned or some kind of magic has been wrought, and yet there is no literal conjuring in the film. The generic title instead gives way to the idea that what is conjured is, thus, “the underlying anxieties of the vulnerable everyman,” not to mention a spate of imitators in its wake. What is conjured is the audience’s fear, in a virtuoso horror film.
Analysis
Authors: Negra Diane
Published: January 2022

Shadow of a Doubt was British-born Alfred Hitchcock’s sixth American film and the one that at various times he identified as his favorite and his best. Paradoxically, scholarly analysis of the film has been scant and a core motivation for this book is the desire to redress the deficit of critical attention paid to it....

Classic Pas—Sans Flaw
Authors: Tontiplaphol Betsy Winakur
Published: January 2022

Chapter 3 considers the degree to which virtuosic display had, despite Noverre’s revolutionary emphasis on expressivity, endured as a feature of balletic performance; indeed, the value of technical flair increased when Napoleon sought to establish meritocracy at the Paris Opera. Ballet’s newly virtuosic bodies exerted a profound influence on Byron and Shelley, whose exposure to ballet was extensive in the 1810s, when Byron managed the Drury Lane Theater and Shelley, a close affiliate of prolific dance critic Leigh Hunt, frequented the ballet both in England and, later, Italy. Chapter 3 argues that Byron and Shelley were inspired by, respectively, the contemporaneous ballet world’s intense regard for the virtuosity of the solo performer and its concomitant reliance on the collective brilliance of the corps de ballet, the dance troupe’s increasingly proficient plural “body.” It concentrates on Byron’s and Shelley’s longer works, including Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, Don Juan, and Prometheus Unbound.

Herman Melville
Authors: Bercaw Edwards Mary K.
Published: January 2022

It was as a sailor that Herman Melville was identified by his literary contemporaries in the 19th century. Throughout his life, he both fought against and embraced his sailor identity. This chapter investigates Melville’s time at sea through primary documents, including crew-lists, desertion certificates, newspaper articles, letters, and his three extant journals. Melville emerged from his four years at sea as a superb storyteller. The orality of his storytelling continues even as it is transformed into written texts. As he shifted from oral retelling to literary creation, many of the other literary sources on which he drew were likewise rooted in spoken language best experienced as heard not read: the plays of Shakespeare, the poetry of Milton, the Bible, sermons. This chapter investigates the complex intersection of identity and performativity, drawing on the work of John Austin, How to Do Things with Words (1962), and the scholars who came in his wake. Melville delineates the performative quality inherent in the role of “sailor,” treating cannibalism, sexuality, tattooing, and other transgressions as part of a distinct sailor identity.
Co-operation and Incorporation 1926–27
Authors: Davis Mary , Foster John
Published: January 2022

This chapter looks at the aftermath of the strike in which the government’s victory led to a serious rethinking of its attitude to the labour movement and industrial relations. It examines the division within Tory ranks on how best to deal with potential future militancy based on the perceived strength of socialist forces. Both hawks and ‘modernisers’ were concerned to deliver a tame trade union movement. The 1927 Trades Disputes Act appeased the hawks, the ‘modernisers’ strategy was one of reducing further friction between capital and labour by encouraging joint working and consensus. This strategy was dependent on winning the agreement of trade union leaders and the TUC. Bevin, in a turn to the right, played a major role in ensuring compliance. He was subject to sustained criticism within the TGWU for his role in calling off the strike and in the aftermath in which employers sought retribution initiating mass victimisation of strikers. The central argument of the chapter is that 1927 marked a major turning point leading to the social partnership agenda detailed in the ensuing Mond-Turner agreement.
Running the Union in Difficult Times Too Close to Employers?
Authors: Davis Mary , Foster John
Published: January 2022

The TGWU did not fare as badly as most trade unions in the light of rising unemployment and declining membership. Due, in the main to the merger with the Workers’ Union, membership stabilised but, as this chapter shows, it became more passive owing to the mondist industrial peace strategy favoured by Bevin. A prime example of this was the flour milling industry. Opposition to the ‘social partnership’ line was in evidence, but was eradicated by means of suspension of branches affiliated to the Minority Movement and expulsion of ‘troublesome’ members. Small scale unofficial strikes did, however, occur, but as this chapter shows, the TGWU swung to the right and Bevin contributed to the depoliticisation of the labour movement at a critical time when a 2nd minority Labour government held office.
Henry Vaughan and Breconshire
Authors: Wilcher Robert
Published: January 2022

This chapter places Vaughan in the topographical and social settings in which he grew up and discusses the two or three years he spent in Oxford and London before returning to Breconshire at the outbreak of the civil war in 1642. It describes his contact with Cavalier circles at university and in the capital and his sense of alienation when deprived of this cultural milieu. It also recounts his reaction to the defeat of the royalist cause, his courtship of Catherine Wise, his gradual readjustment to provincial life, and the spiritual awakening that followed the death of a younger brother, William. Details of his later life as a country doctor, his death, and his burial are briefly given.
Henry Vaughan and the Civil Wars
Authors: Wilcher Robert
Published: January 2022

This chapter places Vaughan in the context of the early activities of the Long Parliament (when he was studying law in London) and the civil wars of the 1640s. It shows how his experiences were woven into his verse translations of Boethius and Casimir and reflected in his original poetry. Attention is given to the way contemporary political events are encoded in his translation of Juvenal’s Tenth Satire, to the poetic record of his experiences as a soldier at the Battle of Rowton Heath in 1645, and to elegies on friends who died fighting for the king. Setting Vaughan’s 1646 volume, Poems, in the context of books of Cavalier poetry printed in the mid-1640s demonstrates that publication itself was a political act.
Myths, Stereotypes, Sexual Politics, and the Black Power Movement in Alice Childress’s Wine in the Wilderness
Authors: Wattley Ama S.
Published: January 2022

This chapter examines playwright Alice Childress as an early challenger of Black Power ideology through an analysis of her 1969 play, Wine in The Wilderness, and contends that Childress frankly confronts the sexual and racial politics that characterized the public/political/theatrical arena of the 1960s and 1970s by rebutting some of the false notions and sexist rhetoric disseminated during the Black Power movement, namely, the stereotype of the Black matriarchy. Childress documents some of the tensions that arose between the sexes as a result of this myth and exposes the hypocrisy of the Black middle class who spouted slogans espousing racial pride while accepting negative self-definitions and harboring class prejudices. Given the often competing gender/sexual politics of the Women’s and Black Power movements, the chapter examines the message Childress sends about Black women’s roles and positions within their relationships and society and the resolutions that her play dramatizes as it pertains to gender politics.
Sonia Sanchez
Authors: Zheng John
Published: January 2022

This chapter discusses Sanchez’s poetry and her distinguished voice under the banner of “soniasanchezism,” showing her creativity and aesthetic awareness through her sensibility to the larger society, her involvement in the civil rights and Black Arts movements, and her open mind to the bricolage of genres in her writing. In her free-verse poems she has found freedom to boldly voice her thoughts and feelings and in her haiku she has learned not to limit herself in borrowing a non-black genre to enrich her writing and express her Black Arts aesthetic. To a large extent, Sanchez’s poetry expresses African American cultural sensibility through descriptions of beauty, dignity, love, memory, loss, pain, and pride in blackness. Her voice is dynamic and colloquial, her language is innovative and graphic, and her aesthetic is bold and unexpected.
Freeing Black
Authors: Leverette Tru
Published: January 2022

Fran Ross was an iconoclast among black writers of the Black Arts movement. Her sole novel, Oreo, published in 1974, reworks the Greek myth of Theseus as the story of a young black/Jewish girl searching for her white father. Ross’s myth satirizes common stereotypes, particularly through her destabilization of myth and language as master narratives. Ross’s novel illustrates race as a language we speak, and in demonstrating the instability of all language and the futility of seeking stable meaning, she unsettles the meaning of race. As numerous artists aligned with the Black Aesthetic and sought new images and definitions of blackness, Ross undermined the narratives of race, even those being constructed by black power advocates.
The Black Arts Movement
Authors: Blum Paul Von
Published: January 2022

This chapter presents an extensive overview of the African American artists who played significant roles in the history of visual arts of the Black Arts movement. It focuses on those creative women and men who were the historical precursors to the Black Arts movement of the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s and those artists who were directly involved in that time period. The chapter addresses multiple artistic forms including murals, assemblage, photography, painting, and posters. The vast majority of these artworks reflected strong visual statements against racism and positive statements about African American life, history, and culture. The chapter includes three illustrations that are especially representative of the thematic focus of the Black Arts movement, including iconic works by Betye Saar and Black Panther Party artist Emory Douglas.
Exile, Autofiction, and Women’s Writing
Authors: Wimbush Antonia
Published: January 2022

Chapter One sets up the comparative approach to the book by examining the similarities and differences between the six female authors more closely in terms of their critical and popular reception. The chapter then examines the ways in which they each engage with theories and concepts of autofiction in order to find their own voice and claim ownership of their life story of exile. Drawing on Serge Doubrovsky’s reflections on the genre, I argue that through autofiction, the six authors have the freedom to regain control of their difficult situation by erasing or fictionalizing particularly painful elements, while reflecting psychoanalytically upon their personal stories enables them to examine the many effects that migration has had on their complex, multiple identities.
Beyond the Ivory Tower
Authors: Aleksiun Natalia
Published: January 2022

This chapter looks at the tensions between popular and scholarly writing on Polish Jewish history. The chapter follows the channels through which Polish Jewish historical scholarship reached a broader public in Poland. Although ideologically animated, this historical discourse often served practical political purposes. Polish Jewish historians worked in close relationship with Jewish communities, and they believed that by pursuing a scholarly course they were fulfilling an important social, cultural, and political mission. It further discusses a new generation of university-educated rabbis who delivered sermons for Jewish schoolchildren and soldiers and participated in public ceremonies commemorating events of Polish Jewish history. The chapter reflects how private and state schools for Jewish children commemorated national Polish holidays, taught Polish and Polish Jewish history, and took students on historical tours. Time and again, Jewish representatives at both the local and national level referred to history to strengthen their political claims.
Shaping English Identity in the Songbook Miscellany
Authors: DeSimone Alison C.
Published: January 2022

Chapter 3 shows how many collections of printed music compiled miscellaneous pieces from opera and concerts, as well as folk tunes, drinking songs, and even instrumental music into anthologies that could be purchased. These collections offer the opportunity to understand what publishers believed would sell; in other words, songbooks betray the developing tastes of London audiences through the lens of miscellany print culture.
Ralph Ellison and the Dangers of the Moses Complex
Authors: Cohen J. Laurence
Published: January 2022

Paradoxically, at the very moment that civil rights leaders appealed to Exodus to conceptualize Black collective action, Ralph Ellison forcefully objected to the model of Moses as the ideal Black leader. Ellison’s anti-Exodus stance reflects his commitment to democratic pluralism. Ellison’s Invisible Man(1952) reveals the dangers of vesting too much authority in charismatic leaders. In the novel, Homer A. Barbee deploys the Exodus narrative to idealize the Founder and legitimize Dr. Bledsoe, while Ras the Exhorter positions himself as a wrathful Moses come to deliver Black people from oppression. Barbee’s rhetoric resembles that of George Alexander McGuire, while Ras evokes Marcus Garvey. The novel reveals how the Exodus narrative lends itself alternately to regressive ideologies and anarchic violence through the dangers of the Moses complex.
Research on the Relationship between Self-efficacy and Inquiry Community Model
Authors: Zhou Xiang
Published: January 2022

Online learning has the characteristics of large-scale, online and open implementation. It provides students with rich high-quality online learning resources and attracts a large number of learners. Exploring the teaching effect in the online and offline mixed environment has become a hot research topic. Thus, based on a comprehensive review of the literature on the interaction between self-efficacy and the exploratory community model, this paper establishes two models that affect cognitive existence. Using teaching existence and social existence, and taking self-efficacy as the intermediary variable, this paper analyzes the relationship in the exploratory community model. The results show that the overall Cronbach’s α coefficient is 0.933 and the KMO value is 0.923, indicating that the questionnaire designed has good reliability and validity. Teaching presence and social presence plays a significant positive role in cognitive presence. Self-efficacy plays a complete and partial mediating role in teaching presence and social presence and has a significant positive effect on cognitive presence. The results of this paper have important reference value for expanding the framework of an inquiry community, realizing the deep construction of learners' knowledge connotation, analyzing the influence mechanism of teachers and students in network teaching, and enriching the application of the inquiry community model.
UH-60A Airloads Workshop—Setting the Stage for the Rotorcraft CFD/CSD Revolution, Part II: Ongoing Progress, Impact, and Lessons Learned
Authors: Yeo Hyeonsoo , Ormiston Robert A.
Published: January 2022

The UH-60A Airloads Workshop was a unique collaboration of aeromechanics experts from the U.S. Government, industry, and academia to address technical issues that hindered accurate rotor loads predictions. The Airloads Workshop leveraged the NASA/Army UH-60A Airloads flight test and
NFAC wind tunnel test data. It functioned continuously for 17 years, from 2001 to 2018, and brought about one of the most important advancements in rotorcraft aeromechanics prediction capabilities by successfully demonstrating high-fidelity coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational
structural dynamics (CSD) analyses for both steady and maneuvering flight. The article is divided into two parts. Part I surveys the background of rotorcraft CFD/CSD development difficulties, the origins of the Airloads Workshop, and the rapid success achieved during the first phase that consisted
of eight Workshops. Part II describes ongoing development during the subsequent two phases of the Airloads Workshop, the Ninth through the 13th, and the 14th through the 31st Workshops. Part II outlines development of CFD/CSD methods to predict rotor airloads for the challenging maneuvering
flight condition and also describes the impact of the newly developed CFD/CSD methods and how they were transferred to the larger technical community, opening the door for practical application of CFD methods for designing future advanced rotorcraft. Part II concludes with a discussion of
why the Airloads Workshop succeeded and lessons learned from the collaborative effort.

Authors: Mathur Tanmay D. , Smith Edward C. , DeSmidt Hans , Bill Robert C.
Published: January 2022

The focus of this work is to integrate component-level design analyses developed for different machine elements of a twin pericyclic drive into a comprehensive design decisions framework. The integrated system loads, bearing loads, and tooth contact analysis procedure is used for designing
a prototype for minimum weight within the constraints posed by assembly, component life, and system efficiency. Simultaneous sizing of the gears, bearings, and shafts was performed for given input power, speed, and reduction ratio. The effect of inertial loads due to nutational gear motion
is significant on support bearing loads, and the gear bodies are designed to minimize these loads. It was demonstrated that a torque density greater than 50 Nm/kg can be achieved for a low Technology readiness level (TRL) pericyclic transmission prototype design. The test article is designed
to operate at a 50-HP, 5000 RPM input with a speed reduction ratio of 32:1 and system efficiency greater than 93%.
The Rotational Motion Simulation of AIST Small Spacecraft Prototype Based on Current Values From Solar Battery Panels and on a Hardware-software Stand
Authors: Sedelnikov Andry , Safronov Sergey , Khnyryova Ekaterina
Published: January 2022

The functioning of space technique is associated with remote maintenance of operable state of onboard systems and software. If an element fails, problems arise in analyzing the state, ascertaining the reasons for the failure and restoring the element functional using available hardware-in-the-loop and algorithmic tools. The paper concentrates on currents analysis from solar battery panels of AIST small spacecraft in order to evaluate the parameters of the satellite's rotational motion after a significant break-down of the electrical battery. At the same time, the scientific equipment and onboard measurement instruments proved to be practically inoperative due to the lack of power supply. After the break-down of the electrical battery, magnetorquers and measurement instruments could not perform their function. A backup orientation system was not provided. The raw data for estimating the angular velocity vector was the current values from solar battery panels. However, in order to obtain an acceptable estimate of the angular velocity vector, more accurate current measurements are required than it implemented onboard the small spacecraft. To simulate the small spacecraft rotational motion and compare results with estimates obtained from telemetric data analysis, HIL US-03 hardware-software stand for simulation of the small spacecraft systems was used.
Estimativa de disponibilidade hídrica para operação de uma central geradora hidrelétrica no Estado do Paraná
Authors: De Oliveira José Rafael , Vestena Leandro Redin
Published: January 2022

O presente trabalho apresenta os resultados de um estudo para estimação da disponibilidade hídrica em um pequeno curso fluvial para a operação de uma central geradora hidrelétrica, no município de Santa Maria do Oeste, interior do estado do Paraná. A água é um recurso precioso para a vida humana. No Brasil, a energia elétrica é principalmente obtida em usinas hidrelétricas. A energia é gerada a partir do movimento de turbinas, que podem possuir diferentes tamanhos e potências. Apesar das centrais geradoras hidrelétricas serem empreendimentos com potencial gerador inferior a 5MW de energia um estudo da demanda hídrica é necessário para avaliação da viabilidade técnica e ambiental. Em razão da inexistência de dados de vazão na seção transversal do rio Santo Antônio onde a Central Geradora Hidrelétrica Santo Expedito está instalada a estimativa da disponibilidade hídrica deu-se a partir da extrapolação de dados hidrológicos regionais de séries históricas de três estações próximas. Os resultados indicaram uma vazão média diária estimada na seção transversal fluvial do rio Santo Antônio de 3,37 m³/s. A vazão ecológica no curso fluvial deve ser de no mínimo 87 l/s. A capacidade instalada de geração de energia na Central Geradora Hidrelétrica Santo Expedito é de 3,7 m³/s em potência máxima. A disponibilidade hídrica indica haver vazão para operação da usina em sessenta e cinco por cento do tempo.
On revisiting vital signs IoT sensors for COVID-19 and long COVID-19 monitoring: a condensed updated review and future directions
Authors: Rodrigues Vinicius Facco , Righi Rodrigo da Rosa , Ceschini Lucas Mayer , Bellini Barbara Canali Locatelli , Donida Bruna , Da Costa Cristiano André
Published: January 2022

Background: Although the world has been facing the COVID-19 pandemic for over a year, we understand that there are still some challenges in using Internet of Things (IoT) devices as allies in this fight. Among the main difficulties, we can mention the selection of appropriate devices and the correct measurement and subsequent analysis of previously obtained vital signs. 

Methods: In this context, we present a condensed compilation of IoT devices to monitor the vital signs often used to monitor COVID-19. We focus on easy-to-use devices currently available on the market to the general user. Also, the presented analysis is helpful for long COVID-19 monitoring, which is particularly useful to governments and hospitals to analyze eventual sequels on those citizens who tested positive beforehand.

Results: The review resulted in 148 heterogeneous devices offering different capabilities. Our first contribution resides in detailing several aspects of each IoT device, indicating which are the most suitable for particular use-case situations. Moreover, our article introduces some challenges and insights into assembling a smart city composed of IoT devices.

Conclusion: Here, technological trends such as Serverless computing, homomorphic cryptography, Federated Learning, Elixir programming language, Web Assembly, and vertical elasticity are discussed towards enabling vital sign-driven data capturing and processing. Although there are several IoT devices for health monitoring, there is still work to standardize data formats and APIs for data extraction.

Authors: Visuddho Visuddho , Subagjo Agus , Setyoningrum Retno Asih , Rosyid Alfian Nur
Published: January 2022

Background: The impact of COVID-19 may be more severe in developing countries. Our study aims to analyze the accuracy of several inflammatory biomarkers in predicting COVID-19 mortality, providing information about the most suitable markers for developing countries.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Indonesia, from March to June 2020. White Blood Cells (WBC) count, Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Procalcitonin (PCT), D-Dimer, and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) have been collected from the electronic medical records. We performed survival analysis to provide the hazard ratio and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to test for accuracy for each parameter.

Results: A total of 423 patients who met the criteria for participating had a median age of 54 (IQR 45-61) years. Patients in the death group are characterized by older age and shorter length of hospitalization. The WBC, NLR, PCT, D-Dimer, and CRP are found significantly higher in the death group (P=0.000). The WBC, NLR, PCT, D-Dimer, and CRP have an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.709, 0.773, 0.738, 0.721, and 0.769, respectively moderate accuracy in predicting COVID-19 patient mortality. We found that NLR is significantly more accurate than the age parameter (Z=3.527; P=0.000) but has equal accuracy with other laboratory parameters. 

Conclusions: Since NLR obtained the highest accuracy, we still recommend routine complete blood count tests as prognostic biomarkers with the highest feasibility to be performed in developing countries.

Por tanto, el acceso desde cualquier lugar, la flexibilidad e inmediatez permite a los jóvenes expresarse, participar, movilizar posturas en común e incluso ubicar amigos cercanos o distantes. Se toma como referencia las investigaciones de Galindo (2016), Boyd y Ellison (2007), Rueda, Giraldo, (2016), Muñoz, (2016), entre otros. La metodología es técnica cualitativa, a partir de publicaciones escritas, visuales en Facebook, en un grupo de jóvenes residentes en Bogotá. Entre los resultados se encuentran contenidos selectivos, expresiones en el léxico, ideologías y estados de ánimo de cómo asumieron el aislamiento y cuál ha sido la influencia de Facebook en algunos jóvenes que se muestran carismáticos con un perfil que ellos mismos han construido y creen único y que termina configurando su identidad cultural.

La investigación fue de tipo descriptiva, de campo y no experimental. La población estuvo conformada por 25 líderes de innovación de las empresas de telecomunicaciones. La estadística de análisis fue la descriptiva y la confiabilidad del instrumento se acercó al 80%. Se pudo constatar en los resultados que existen debilidades del conocimiento y pobre aplicación de la innovación en las organizaciones tecnológicas, es importante que múltiples actores se compenetren a las estrategias de innovación para que estas organizaciones tecnológicas tengan cabida, y se conviertan en factores de competitividad en el país. Hacerle seguimiento a la identidad, a la cultura organizacional al conocimiento adquirido de los colaboradores de las empresas de telecomunicaciones, es parte fundamental para poner en práctica un modelo de gestión confiable y con ello ideas innovadoras para el aprovechamiento del negocio. Se les recomienda mejorar la plataforma tecnológica, aumentar la flexibilidad de la empresa para entrar en nuevos negocios, optimizar la agilidad para reaccionar a las oportunidades que se le presenten, superar barreras de entrada a nuevos mercados preparando a su potencial humano, así como tomar en consideración nuevas alianzas estratégicas, para mantener la competitividad en el mercado.

In today's fast-paced life, traffic congestion is a major problem in our daily activities. It reduces the productivity of the individual as well as the community as it is wasting many working hours on signals. The sheer volume of traffic, inadequate infrastructure, and the irrational distribution of traffic signal systems are major causes of this chaotic congestion. It can indirectly increase the level of pollution as engines are still in operation most of the time, a large amount of natural resources such as petrol and diesel are used without any harmful effects. Therefore, our paper aims at reducing traffic congestion and unwanted long-time delay during the traffic light switch overs especially when the traffic is very low. It is designed to be implemented in places nearing the junctions where the traffic signals are placed, in order to reduce the congestion in these junctions.

Las plantaciones de palma aceitera requieren de manejo y control de variables que permitan garantizar un exitoso proceso de cosecha, en el que se garantice altos niveles de eficacia de las plantaciones y eficiencia en el uso de los recursos asignados. Diseñamos un modelo de simulación del proceso de polinización entomófila asistida en plantaciones de palmas aceiteras para la proyección de escenarios futuros de producción. Realizamos un estudio no experimental, de tipo descriptivo propositivo para generar el modelo de simulación aplicando la metodología de dinámica de sistemas. Trabajamos con una muestra de 72 palmicultores, cuyas parcelas están ubicadas en la de Región Loreto - Perú, a quienes aplicamos un instrumento para conocer el total de hectáreas, número de parcelas, área, año de siembra, hectáreas en producción, con una polinización natural, racimos por planta, kilos por planta y porcentaje de inflorescencia polinizada y sin polinizar. El resultado fue que planificamos escenarios futuros de producción en las plantaciones de palma aceitera basándose en la simulación del proceso de polinización entomófila asistida utilizando el modelo construido desde el año 2019 hasta el 2030. Concluimos que a través del modelo de simulación creado aplicando la metodología de dinámica de sistema es posible predecir escenarios futuros de producción en las plantaciones de palma aceitera del Shanusi
Pensamiento sistémico en el modelo de resolución de problemas en estudiantes de tercer grado de secundaria
Authors: Montilla-García Henrry
Published: January 2022

Excluir al pensamiento sistémico de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la matemática en el enfoque del modelo constructivista, cuyos elementos no evidencian una articulación con la resolución de problemas; está permitiendo bajos logros de aprendizaje y la carencia de un modelo basado en el pensamiento sistémico para la resolución de problemas complejos de matemática. El estudio tuvo como objetivo principal analizar la relación entre el pensamiento sistémico y el modelo de resolución de problemas en los estudiantes del tercer grado de secundaria de la Institución Educativa “Santa Rosa” de Tarapoto. La investigación fue de tipo básica, nivel correlacional, con diseño no experimental y descriptivo. La muestra censal estuvo conformada por 163 estudiantes. Los datos se recolectaron por medio de dos rúbricas de evaluación aplicados en la observación del desempeño de los estudiantes al participar de la resolución de problemas matemáticos en una sesión de aprendizaje. Los resultados indicaron que la medida taub-b de Kendall de la relación entre el pensamiento sistémico y el modelo de resolución de problemas fue de 0,918; para una prueba bilateral con p-valor = 0,000 < 0,05; por lo que, se concluyó que existe una relación muy alta y positiva entre el pensamiento sistémico y el modelo de resolución de problemas.

El objetivo fue determinar la relación existente entre el rendimiento académico y el acceso a recursos tecnológicos de los estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Alto Amazonas en tiempos de pandemia causada por la COVID 19. Tuvimos una muestra de 434 alumnos que estudiaron en el semestre 2020-II y que se matricularon en el semestre 2021-I. Aplicamos un cuestionario para conocer el acceso a los recursos tecnológicos y obtuvimos el promedio ponderado de los reportes del sistema de gestión académica. Desarrollamos una investigación de tipo básica, correlacional y no experimental. El resultado es que no existe relación entre el promedio ponderado de los estudiantes con el acceso a recursos tecnológicos propios. Concluimos que contar con equipos, acceso a conectividad y buena calidad de conectividad no garantiza que el promedio del estudiante mejore o disminuya
Examining the impact of the ethnoscience teaching philosophy on academic performance in introductory computer programming
Authors:   , Sofowora Mayowa A.
Published: January 2022

The mastery of the core technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) seems to require a set of skills that are reputed to be difficult to learn. This also includes general STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) related know- how where computer programming is considered by many as the new linking glue of the 4IR despite its reputation of being difficult to learn and to master. 4IR is credited with a wide range of advantages, such as improved production, communication and participation, but it also comes with several disadvantages, such as the widening of the digital divide and higher levels of unemployment, especially for unskilled people. In fact, computer programming and other STEM related skills are crucial for the optimization of the benefits of the 4IR and for the minimization of its disadvantages. This is why this study is examining the impact of a different type of teaching approach known as the ethnoscience teaching approach, a STEM teaching philosophy, on students’ academic performance in introductory computer programming. A content analysis of existing literature on academic performance factors was first undertaken, both for introductory programming and for STEM subjects, in order to design an aggregated theoretically sound model of academic performance factors for these two fields. That model was then partially empirically tested by this study first within a totally culturally neutral teaching approach, then with a quasi- experiment whose experimental group was taught and tested with the use of the ethnoscientific teaching approach and philosophy while the control group stayed with the conventional culturally neutral teaching approach. The results of this study indicate that the ethnoscience teaching approach significantly improves students' academic performance in introductory computer programming compared to the conventional teaching approach. They also indicate that students’ prior language and computing subject choices affect their performance in conventional but not in culturally sensitive introductory computer programming. The participants of this study were selected from the introductory programming 2018 class of the IT Department of the Durban University of Technology. Should the findings of this study be confirmed with more programming concepts and with different samples, they will confirm the intrinsic value of culturally sensitive computing education.
