O imagético-verbal como expediente pedagógico para as abordagens dos legados de Graziela Barroso e Maria Merian
Authors: Damasceno Dayanne Maria , Monteiro Maria Amélia , Bastos Filho Jenner Baretto
Published: June 2024

Procedemos com uma avaliação da atitude que consiste em lançar mão das imagens enquanto expediente cognitivo pedagogicamente relevante para o ensino das ciências. Argumentamos que os ensinos das diversas ciências empíricas requerem, ou podem requerer, diferentes graus de abstração. Isso é verdadeiro até mesmo no seio de uma mesma ciência quando confrontamos dois ou mais de seus ramos. Sobre a questão de uma imagem, até mesmo uma imagem consolidada em um dado ramo de uma dada ciência, pode ou não se constituir em obstáculo epistemológico em algum outro de seus ramos, diríamos que a complexidade da questão não comporta uma resposta que seja universalmente inequívoca. Argumentamos que a mente humana é capaz de acomodar duas ou mais representações paradigmáticas - quer sejam verbais, imagéticas ou híbridas - ainda que essas ensejem controvérsias. A posição extrema de Dirac que consiste na recomendação de se evitar imagens, no campo da mecânica quântica, é confrontada com as atitudes de duas cientistas de épocas distintas no campo das ciências da vida, Graziela Barroso e Maria Merian. Concluímos que a atitude que consiste em se lançar mão de imagens, não constitui obstáculo epistemológico algum, quando a compreensão é legitimamente perseguida no ensino das ciências.
The verbal and imagery combination as a pedagogical expedient for approaches to the legacies of Graziela Barroso and Maria Merian
ABSTRACT
We carried out an evaluation of the attitude that consists of using images as a pedagogically relevant cognitive tool for science teaching. We argue that the teachings of the various empirical sciences require, or may require, different degrees of abstraction. This is true even within the same science when we confront two or more of its branches. On the question of an image, even an image consolidated within a given branch of a given science, may or may not constitute an epistemological obstacle in some other of its branches, we would say that the complexity of the question does not give rise to a response that is universally unequivocal. We argue that the human mind can accommodate two or more paradigmatic representations - whether verbal, imagery, or hybrid - even if these give rise to controversy. Dirac’s extreme position, which consists of the recommendation to avoid images, in the field of quantum mechanics, is confronted with the attitudes of two scientists from different eras in the field of life sciences, Graziela Barroso and Maria Merian. We conclude that the attitude that consists of making use of images does not constitute any epistemological obstacle when understanding is legitimately pursued in science teaching.

A Study on the Impact of Representational Forms of Concepts in Elementary School Mathematics on the Degree of Transfer Occurrence
Authors: Huang Yue , Zhai Ruirui , Jiang Lin
Published: June 2024

Educators aspire for learners to proficiently apply acquired knowledge across diverse contextual scenarios. Facilitating knowledge transfer involves employing varied methodologies in the construction of instructional materials. Regrettably, extant research lacks a comprehensive examination of the efficacy of these methodologies in specific applications. Drawing upon cognitive psychology principles, this research delineates three representations of instructional materials conducive to knowledge transfer: the amalgamation of conceptual content and digital applications, the integration of conceptual content with situational queries, and the fusion of two situational queries. Subsequently, a cohort comprising 63 third-grade students undergoes experimentation to discern the differential impacts of the aforementioned instructional material configurations on both knowledge acquisition and transfer. Findings indicate a general convergence in the acquisition of mathematical knowledge and transfer capabilities, albeit with discernible variations in the domain of problem-solving sub-skills. Specifically, instances of excessive familiarity with situations facilitate knowledge acquisition but do not necessarily correlate with enhanced transfer acquisition. This underscores the recommendation that educators incorporate instructional materials wherein learners possess a moderate level of familiarity with the given situations during the design phase, thereby fostering concurrent development of transfer acquisition and knowledge acquisition.
Research and Academic Personnel: Reproduction in Crisis Conditions
Authors: Demidenko Svetlana
Published: June 2024

The article examines the issues of research and academic personnel reproduction in Russia. The main relevant statistical indicators are given in dynamics. The author considers various factors affecting the reproduction of researchers and reasons for their outflow from sciences. Among them there are: financial security for scientific research and remuneration of labor; motivation to engage in research activities; career aspirations; precarization of scientific activity; the presence of schools of thought and leaders; bureaucratization of activities and excessive control; technocratic approach in science management, etc. The issues related to the preservation of intellectual potential and the formation of the prestige of research activities are updated. The main problem is the growing contradiction between the reduction in the number of researchers and academic staff and the emerging need to strengthen the scholarly potential of the country in modern conditions.
Promotion of Intellectual Activity Results of Scientific Organizations. An Assessment of Potential Demand
Authors: Ganieva Irina , Shepelev Gennady
Published: June 2024

The article examines the markets of intellectual activity results (IAR) in Russia. We have conducted an analysis of the costs of innovation activities in terms of the purchase of IAR and R&D in the economy as a whole and in the industrial production sector as the largest one in the context of acquiring IAR. It is shown that the scale of costs for IAR is about 1% of the total expenditures on innovation and has tended to increase in recent years. The costs of purchasing IAR by industry are analyzed; it is shown that the largest amount of expenditures falls on the sphere of industrial production. In this area, the share of IAR acquisition costs is higher than in the economy as a whole and averages 1.5%. We consider the share of IAR purchases from external suppliers. In general, 54.6% of IAR are purchased from third-party organizations, and 59.3% are acquired in industrial production. The costs of purchasing IAR at the expense of own and external sources of financing are analyzed; it is noted that the largest amount of own funds (64.0% against 55.1% in the economy as a whole) is spent in the field of industrial production.
Having regard to the scale of the markets, we analyze the best options for IAR protection in cases of various types of organizations. Examples of IAR protection options for large organizations with a substantial volume of output and for small innovative enterprises with a relatively low output rate are considered. The conclusion is made about the expediency of using protection for small companies through the introduction of a trade secret regime. We also carry out an analysis of the costs of research and development purchased from third-party organizations by industry. It is shown that the R&D markets significantly exceed the IAR markets. This also makes the sale of IAR through R&D more attractive than through the sale of licenses. In general, the thesis put forward in the previous article is confirmed. It says that a low activity of working with IAR is determined by economic factors.
The adaptive potential of migrant youth in the megapolis: resource availability and the development opportunities (using the example of Dagestanis living in St. Petersburg)
Authors: Shekera Ekaterina
Published: June 2024

In the article, within the framework of the resource approach, based on the results of a questionnaire survey, the assessment by the Dagestan youth living in St. Petersburg of their adaptive potential, expressed in the presence of both material and non-material resources, is revealed. The relevance of this study is due to the fact that the success of social adaptation of internal migrants in a new environment largely depends on the available adaptive potential and its constituent resources, as well as the possibilities of its mobilization and building up. Accordingly, it is possible to correct the process of social adaptation by managing the development of certain resources, transferring them into capital. The author provides a distinction between the concepts of “potential”, “capital”, “resource”. The author’s operationalization of the concept of adaptation potential of migrant youth, developed on the basis of the classification of adaptation resources proposed by Yu. M. Pasovets, is presented. The novelty of this study lies in the first attempt to identify the adaptive potential of the Dagestan youth living in St. Petersburg, and its constituent resources. It was revealed that the success of the adaptation process is most influenced by personal-cultural and social (individual) resources. It is concluded that involvement in social activities can be an additional mechanism for successful adaptation, but this potential is practically unrealized due to the low involvement of young people in this type of activity. Accordingly, the results obtained can be used primarily by leaders and activists of public organizations representing the Republic of Dagestan in St. Petersburg to involve youth in public activities, and the data obtained can also be used to correct the process of social adaptation of Dagestan youth at the municipal level and the level of the subject of the federation.

A cross-sectional study was developed and divided into two parts: creation of a video and elaboration of an electronic questionnaire to assess acceptance. Both were pre-tested for content and comprehension. Undergraduate dental students who were attending or had already attended a Pediatric Dentistry course were eligible. Data were collected from for two months and analyzed descriptively and comparatively (Wilcoxon test). A total of 135 students, mostly female (79.26%), from last or before last year (54.81%) at private institutions (86.67%), with an average age of 25.36±6.46 years old. Most of them (78.52%) were attending the Pediatric Dentistry course in the current semester, with online classes, synchronously (57.04%). Almost half (50.37%) thought they had reasonable knowledge about the anatomy of primary teeth before watching the video, and 59.26% did not seek extra information about the subject. Self-knowledge on the topic improved after watching the video (p<0.01). From those who answered the questionnaire completely (115), 99.13% considered the video relevant and 100% thought the information was clear. Video was well accepted by students while being important to help increase their knowledge.
A MODEL TO ENSURE QUALITY MANAGEMENT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR AUTONOMOUS INSTITUTIONS IN VIETNAM
Authors:   Postgraduate, Deputy Head of Education Quality Assurance Department, Hanoi University, Hà Nội, Vietnam, Thuong Le Thi
Published: June 2024

Alongside internal quality assurance measures, external quality assessment serves as a mechanism to ensure the quality of education in Vietnam, proven to offer various opportunities (enrollment, research collaboration, technology transfer, etc.) as relevant parties become aware of and trust in the educational institution's quality. Consequently, the impact of educational quality assessment prompts systematic quality assurance activities within the university, yielding high results based on post-assessment expert recommendations. However, among the university activities in Vietnam, scientific and technological management has been identified as one of the few standards with a relatively low average score (Hien et al., 2022); Anh, 2022). Proposing a suitable research model to assess the influence of educational quality assessment on the scientific and technological management of autonomous universities in Vietnam will assist these institutions in identifying crucial elements of scientific and technological management. This will facilitate the implementation of more feasible activities to ensure the quality of these operations, contributing significantly to the overall educational quality of the institution.

This meta-analysis rigorously investigates time management strategies within university education and their impact on academic performance, student satisfaction, and self-efficacy. Covering two decades (2004-2024), it synthesizes findings from both random and nonrandom controlled intervention studies, providing a comprehensive examination of pedagogical impacts. The analysis reveals nuanced but significant enhancements across academic and personal development dimensions, with varied effect sizes (average g values). Interventions were categorized based on their primary focus—either direct time management skills enhancement or integration within broader academic and personal development strategies. Directly targeting time management proficiency was pivotal in bolstering academic performance and self-efficacy, while broader interventions significantly elevated student satisfaction. This analysis highlights the critical interplay between time management strategies, self-efficacy, and satisfaction, suggesting that tailored, skill-specific interventions can yield substantial benefits in academic contexts. The findings advocate for a holistic approach in higher education pedagogy, emphasizing the necessity of embedding effective time management training within university curricula to optimize learning outcomes and student development. This study contributes to the academic discourse on educational strategies and underscores the imperative for empirical, evidence-based approaches in curriculum design and student support services, guiding future research in educational psychology.
Relações interdiscursivas na materialidade da Cypher
Authors: Kogawa João , Nascimento Kevyn Rodrigues do
Published: June 2024

Desde os anos 1980, no Brasil, assistimos a um crescimento exponencial na popularidade do rap e, com ele, a uma ruptura, no discurso estético, entre um sujeito periférico objetificado e passivo e um outro, colérico e reivindicador, próprio da periferia das grandes cidades. Tal crescimento produziu algumas subespecificações desse gênero musical, dentre as quais destacamos, neste artigo, a cypher, subgênero do rap em que um grupo de rimadores canta completando as rimas uns dos outros em sequência. Entendemos por sujeito periférico, na cypher, a posição significada pelo habitante da periferia das grandes cidades, hoje marcada por formas de expressão próprias que se singularizam em relação à literatura brasileira clássica. Essa diferença não se dá apenas em relação a obras mais longínquas como Dom Casmurro (1899), Os sertões (1902) ou Vidas secas (1938), mas também em publicações mais recentes como Quarto de despejo (1960), de Carolina Maria de Jesus. Em certa medida, a cypher materializa uma “retórica da periferia” em que o sujeito, parafraseando Courtine (2015), diz sua cólera. Nesse sentido, este artigo propõe uma análise do discurso estético na materialidade da cypher Favela Vive. Ao todo, quatro canções constituem nosso corpus. Mobilizamos o conceito de interdiscurso para pensar como o sujeito periférico é constituído a partir da relação intrincada entre os discursos bélico, político-econômico, religioso e pedagógico.

Development of Event Monitoring Technique for Berthing Facilities based on a Commercial IoT Sensor
Authors: Park Young Soo , Min Jiyoung
Published: June 2024

This paper focuses on the technique for managing both the behavior of port mooring facilities and vessel docking events using commercial IoT sensors. An IoT sensor was installed on the concrete caisson quay wall in Incheon Port and monitored at a sampling rate of 100 Hz. The measured data were transmitted to a cloud server every 10 minutes via LTE communication. The amplitude of the data significantly increased during vessel arrivals, allowing for the identification of vessel docking and departure times. Additionally, considerable vibrations were intermittently detected while the vessel was moored. Frequency domain analysis revealed different peak frequencies depending on the vessel type, enabling the distinction of vessel types. These results demonstrate that commercial IoT sensors can be effectively used not only to ensure the safety of the structures themselves but also to monitor events such as vessel arrivals and departures.

Authors: Suwankanit Tawan , Bowonchaiyarit Kotchaphan , Ho Chi-Ting
Published: June 2024

This study applies the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to understand consumer behavior in the hydraulic elevator market. Emphasizing Performance Expectation (PE) and Effort Expectation (EE), the research highlights hydraulic elevators' reliability and ease of maintenance as key factors influencing consumer preferences. Contrary to conventional UTAUT findings, Social Influence (SI) is less influential compared to practical considerations such as cost and efficiency. A comprehensive feasibility analysis identified strong technical and operational feasibility for hydraulic elevators, but raised concerns in legal and scheduling aspects, indicating potential adoption barriers. The study's comparative analysis with newer elevator technologies provides insights into consumer preferences across different elevator systems. The findings have significant implications for industry stakeholders, suggesting the need for focused marketing strategies and streamlined regulatory frameworks. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the hydraulic elevator market, underscoring the importance of adapting technology adoption models to specific industry contexts.

Authors: Radityani Fitri
Published: June 2024

The diversity of cultures and customary laws in Indonesia is reflected in the management of fisheries resources. This article explores various customary laws that are still valid in several regions in Indonesia, such as Sasi customary law in Maluku, Laot customary law and the Panglima laot institution in Aceh, Awig-awig customary law in Lombok, Masa ombo customary law in Central Sulawesi, customary law Lubuk ban in Jambi, Lilifuk customary law in NTT, and the Bapongka cultural system in the Bajo tribe. Through descriptive and qualitative research, this article highlights the implementation, changes and challenges faced by customary law in the face of modernization and globalization. It was found that this customary law not only functions to manage fisheries resources sustainably, but also plays an important role in maintaining local wisdom, traditional values, and the welfare of local communities. This research emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting customary law in efforts to preserve natural resources and local culture in Indonesia.
Physics as an Optimization Problem over All Measurements
Authors: Harvey-Tremblay Alexandre
Published: June 2024

We propose a novel approach to quantum theory construction that involves solving a maximization problem on the Shannon entropy of all possible measurements of a system, relative to its initial preparation. This maximization problem is additionally constrained by a phase condition that vanishes under measurements. Specifically, enforcing a vanishing U(1)-valued phase constraint leads to standard quantum mechanics, while a vanishing Spin^c(3,1)-valued phase constraint extends the theory to relativistic quantum mechanics and to quantum gravity. The latter scenario is found to incorporate the SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) symmetries of the Standard Model as invariants of the probability measure itself, and to construct the metric tensor as an operator via a double-copy mechanism applied to Dirac currents. Significantly, this solution is consistent exclusively with a 3+1-dimensional spacetime configuration---all other dimensional settings are shown to lead to fundamental obstructions. This framework seamlessly integrates fundamental concepts from quantum mechanics, relativistic quantum mechanics, quantum gravity, the dimensional specificity of spacetime, and particle physics symmetries as the solution to a simple entropy maximization problem.
Advanced Digital Twins for Current Real Time Condition Monitoring, Diagnosis and Predictive Remaining Lifecycles
Authors: Ammar Mohamed
Published: June 2024

The implementation of systems condition monitoring is of utmost importance in ensuring effective maintenance, optimal efficiency, and adherence to established design criteria. This research presents a novel and economically efficient Digital Twin Model (DTM) designed for the purpose of Live Condition Monitoring (LCM) and Predictive Lifecycles. This study discusses the enhancement of DTs modelling by decreasing the number of dimensions from five to three: Physical, Digital, and Connection entities. The resulting model exhibits a notable improvement in accuracy and efficiency. The suggested Dynamic Time Model (DTM) enhances the empirical pre-set average load for both simulation and experimentation by 35.7%, which is equivalent to a 1.6-fold increase. The DTM demonstrates a significant enhancement in the empirical predefined average lifecycles of the system, as shown in the real-life case study. Specifically, the DTM achieves a 12-fold improvement compared to the simulated results and a nine-fold improvement compared to the experimental findings. The suggested Dynamic Time Management (DTM) demonstrates a significant enhancement in the average lifecycles of the system, with a 19.7% improvement (equivalent to 1.2 times greater) compared to the wireless DTM results obtained through the application of the real system load. The suggested Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) method's accuracy and efficiency are shown via a practical case study using the suspension system of a Peugeot 3008 vehicle.

Currently, one of the main challenges is the mitigation of the effects of climate change on the agricultural sector. Conventional agriculture, with the intensive use of herbicides and pesticides to control weeds and pests, and the improper use of mineral fertilizers, contributes to climate change by causing increased greenhouse gases and groundwater pollution. Therefore, more innovative technologies must be used to overcome these problems. One possible solution is nanotechnology, which has the potential to revolutionize the conventional agricultural system. Active nanoparticles can be used both as a direct source of micronutrients and as a delivery platform for bioactive agrochemicals to improve crop growth, yield and quality. The use of nanoparticle formulations, including nanopesticides, nanoherbicides, nano-fertilizers and nano-emulsions, has been extensively studied to improve crop health and shelf life of agricultural products. Comprehensive knowledge of the interactions between plants and nanoparticles opens up new opportunities to improve cropping practices through the enhancement of properties such as disease resistance, crop yield, and nutrient use. The main objective of this review is to analyze the main effects of climate change on conventional agricultural practices, such as the use of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. It also focuses on how the introduction of nanoparticles into conventional practices can improve the efficiency of chemical pest control and crop nutrition. Finally, this review examines in depth the last 10 years (2014-2024) of scientific literature regarding the use of nanoparticles in agriculture to mitigate the effects of climate change.
Stormwater Management: An Integrated Approach to Support Healthy, Livable, and Ecological Cities
Authors: Grigg Neil
Published: June 2024

The practice of stormwater management has evolved from a singular focus on drainage to a multifaceted approach to support integrated urban development. By contributing to healthy, livable, ecological, and water sensitive cities, it is a key tool to promote Sustainable Development Goal 11 from neighborhood to metropolitan scales. A review of the knowledge base for stormwater management shows several attributes that favor an integrative approach to achieve co-benefits across several sectors. Functional areas of its contributions include drainage, flood control, flood plain management, water quality control, urban ecology, recreation, and city beautification. Legacy path dependance affects the potential to reform land use practices, while stormwater management practice is being affected by climate change, sea level rise, urbanization, inequality, and poor governance. Technical methods for stormwater management are well advanced, but integrative frameworks to address social, ecological and infrastructure needs are more challenging. The sensitivity of ecological issues is most evident in cities in coastal zones. Organizational initiatives are needed to counter neglect of essential maintenance and sustain flood risk reduction in cities. Stormwater management is related to other integrative tools, including IWRM, One Water, One Health, and integrated flood management, as well as the broader concept of urban planning. Stormwater capture and rainfall harvesting offer major opportunities to augment scarce water supplies. Nature-based solutions like low-impact development and the Sponge City concept show promise to transform cities. Major cities face challenges to sustain conveyance corridors for major flows and to store and treat combined sewer runoff. The neighborhood focus of stormwater management elevates the importance of participation and inclusion to advance environmental justice and strengthen social capital. Integrating organizational initiatives from local to city scale and funding improvements to stormwater systems are major challenges that require leadership from higher governance levels, although governments face resistance to change toward integration, especially in countries with poor land use and public works management systems. Finding solutions to neighborhood issues and the connectivity of water systems at larger scales requires complex approaches to urban planning and represent an important agenda for urban and water governance going forward.
The Impact of Social Responsibility on the Performance of European Listed Companies
Authors: Rocha Roberto , Bandeira Ana , Ramos Patrícia
Published: June 2024

This research aims to analyze the impact of Social Responsibility on the performance of 216 European companies during the years 2017 to 2021. The objective of this research is to determine how the operational, financial and market performance of companies is influenced by social responsibility practices.
The methodology adopted is quantitative in nature, using the estimation of dynamic models for panel data. To quantify corporate performance, this study will use, the return on assets, the return on equity and finally the Tobin's Q ratio. On the other hand, ESG (Environment, Social and Government) scores and GC Score scores will be used in order to quantify SR.
The results show that SR presents not only a negative influence on the financial and operational performance of companies, but also a positive impact on market performance. This influence is even greater when distinguishing the best from the worst scores. The environment, social and government dimension shows a negative relationship with ROA and ROE, and a positive one with Tobin's Q. On the other hand, the anti-corruption and environment dimension of the GC Score, relates negatively with Tobin's Q, the human rights dimension relates negatively with ROE and ROA, and finally, the labor law dimension presents a positive relationship with ROE. Importantly, firm size positively influences this relationship, while age has a negative influence.
This research offers important contributions to the literature, since from the ESG scores and the GC Score, a complete analysis of the impact of social responsibility on corporate performance is developed.

Published: June 2024

The science behind the curing process and the sous-vide cooking technique has advanced significantly in recent years. Variables such as temperature, time, and microbial growth, among others, have a substantial impact on the preparation and acceptance of culinary creations. This study focused on evaluating the dry aging method and the sous-vide cooking technique applied to various cuts of bone-in beef (Rack, Tomahawk, New York, and Rib Eye) subjected to different aging periods (28, 32, 42, and 45 days) under controlled temperature and storage conditions. The resulting samples underwent microbiological analysis after the curing method and the sous-vide cooking process, and they were also used in different culinary preparations to measure their degree of acceptability.
