Establishing the Moderating Effect of Social Norms on the Relationship between Entrepreneurship Education and Entrepreneurial Intent of Graduating University Students in Western Uganda
Authors: Benard Dr. Nuwatuahire , Janan Mubehamwe , Karoro Prof. Emmanuel
Published: December 2023

This study established the moderating effect of social norms on the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intent of graduating university students in Western Uganda. The study adopted cross-sectional and causal-comparative research designs on a sample of 435 graduating students in Western Uganda. Descriptive results revealed that students entrepreneurial intent (x̅ = 3.03) was good and entrepreneurial education (mean = 2.96) was also good 0n the other hand, social norms (mean = 2.34) were poor. Inferential results revealed that social norms had a direct positive significant relationship with entrepreneurial intent (β = 0.219, p = 0.000 < 0.05) and a positive and significant moderating effect (β = 0.630, p = 0.000 < 0.05) on entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial intent. Therefore, it was concluded that appropriate social norms enhance development of entrepreneurial intent in students especially when students are also accessing entrepreneurship education in institutions of learning. It was thus recommended that management of universities such as directorates of student welfare should put in place environments that promote students that build appropriate social norms.

Stability analysis of robust control problems in linear descriptor systems with matching conditions
Authors: Khudhur Azhar Abbas , Jasim Sabeeh Lafta
Published: December 2023

We investigate the optimal control equivalent and state feedback approach to linear time-invariant descriptor systems with norm-bounded uncertainty in matrix A(q). The goal is to find a controller that can stabilize the system even in the presence of random perturbations and to study the effect of initial conditions on the system’s stability. The systems with matching conditions and also linear algebraic equations with the full rank of the algebraic coefficient matrix are investigated.  The solution to the optimal control problem (OCP) for the linear descriptor system (LDS) is the solution to the robust linear descriptor control problem provided. We will show that with theorems and examples.

Authors: Khudhur Azhar Abbas , Jasim Sabeeh Lafta
Published: December 2023

In the field of control theory, there has been an increase in interest in studies on the equivalence of robust and optimum control of linear control systems. To provide appropriate constraints for increased stability and control performance, we study in this work the link between linear systems under robust and optimum control as well as the equivalence between the two. We will present in this research significant changes to the way constraints are designed, which may also improve system control and stability. We will show that with theorems and examples.
Approximately maximal submodules
Authors: Al-Shaibani Rafid M.
Published: December 2023

As a generalization of the maximal sub-module concept, we introduce and investigate the idea of approximately maximal sub-modules in this paper, in which an actual sub-module S of D is named approximately maximal, if whenever a sub-module S ⊆ K ⊆ D implies that K + Soc(D) = D. Numerous features of maximal sub-modules are taken into consideration. Additionally, the term AP-module refers to a module in which each suitable sub-module is roughly maximal. Also, we examine certain characteristics, characterizations, and examples about this class of these modules.

Katsausartikkeli analysoi kokoomuksen puheenjohtaja Petteri Orpon luotsaamia hallitusneuvotteluita ja niiden tuloksena syntynyttä hallitusohjelmaa teknokraattisen asiantuntijatiedon käytön näkökulmasta. Kysymystä lähestytään käyttämällä teknopolitiikan käsitettä, joka viittaa poliittisten päämäärien ja runsaan asiantuntijatiedon yhdistämiseen. Tuloksista nousee esiin vahva yhteys neuvottelupöydissä tehtyjen toimenpidekirjausten ja asiantuntijakuulemisten välillä. Havaintoa voidaan selittää usealla eri tavalla, mutta katsauksen tulkinta korostaa hallitusneuvottelujen poliittisen asetelman merkitystä enemmän kuin asiantuntijoiden itsensä pyrkimystä vallankäyttöön. Oikeistopopulistisen puolueen mukanaolo neuvotteluissa saattoi myös osaltaan lisätä asiantuntijatiedon käyttöä.

The quality of chicks and breeding output do not differ between first and replacement clutches in the Eagle Owl Bubo bubo
Authors: Bettega C. , Del Mar Delgado M. , Campioni L. , Pedrini P. , Penteriani V.
Published: December 2023

Replacement clutches can be crucial to the breeding success of avian species, although se-veral factors may influence their outcome and the quality of chicks. Here we compare first and replacement clutches of Eagle Owls in terms of chick quality, timing of breeding, and number of eggs and fledglings. We hypothesize that the propensity to abandon nests and start a new clutch could have evolved because females are able to produce chicks that are as good as the ones of the first clutch. We found that nestlings in replacement clutches were not significantly different from nestlings in first clutches, in terms of immune system and body condition; nor were there significant differences in clutch and brood size. Our findings may be explained by the fact that clutches were laid early in the season, perhaps by high-quality parents, and that food resources are plentiful in the study area. In order to maximize fitness, individuals have to adjust optimally the investment of resources in dif-ferent life-history traits. Thus, the re-nesting behaviour of Eagle Owls may be seen as a way to solve the trade-off between one trait (survival) favoured over another (reproduc-tion), when one of them has a disproportionate effect on fitness.
The effect of nest site on the nesting success of the Coot Fulica atra
Authors: Brzezinski Marcin , Jedlikowski Jan , Zmihorski Michal
Published: December 2023

The nesting success of Coots (Fulica atra) breeding at lakes and small inland water bod-ies in the Mazurian Lakeland, Poland, was estimated in 2008 and 2009. Mean nesting suc-cess, indicated by hatching, was 75%; it was highest at lakes in the vicinity of built-up areas (86%), moderate at small inland water bodies (69%) and lowest at lakes far from hu-man settlements (44%). Nesting success improved with decreasing distance to open wa-ter. Our results suggest that small inland water bodies and built-up areas along lake banks may serve as Coot refuges, acting as safeguards against predation, especially by the American Mink.
On the spatial relationship of males on “exploded” leks: the case of Capercaillie grouse Tetrao urogallus examined by GPS satellite telemetry
Authors: Wegge Per , Rolstad Jørund , Storaunet Ken
Published: December 2023

Themating system of Capercaillie has been referred to as “exploded lek” because displaying males are spaced farther apart than on classical leks. However, inter-male distances and spacing behavior rarely have been quantified. In 2009–2011, we examined the spatial relationships of males on two leks in southeastern Norway by GPS satellite telemetry. Largely exclusive display territories (median 2 ha) surrounded the mating site, but the males spent most of the time displaying on smaller, well-defined display sites (median 182 m2) within their territories. When on their display sites, neighboring birds were spaced 64–212 m apart; decreasing to a minimum during the time of mating. Occasionally, males made long exploratory excursions (median 243 m) across the territories of neighbors, sometimes interacting with them at close distance (
Age structure and movement of Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) males in NW Russia – a two-compartment model
Authors: Moss Robert , Borchtchevski Vladimir
Published: December 2023

Skulls of Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) males collected in NW Russia in 1980-2008 showed two different types of age structure. In native forest and bog-forest tracts with high Capercaillie density (-2.0 birds/km2 in spring) there were relatively more 2- and 3-year-old males and correspondingly fewer yearlings and youngsters. The converse applied over the vast adjacent logged areas where Capercaillie density was lower (~ 0.6 birds/km2), with fewer 2- and 3-year-old males and more yearlings and youngsters. The results were consistent with emigration of youngsters from native into logged areas and a reverse movement of maturing cocks attempting to join the big leks on native areas. The v evidence suggested that survival of cocks over 3 years old was low in both habitat types, perhaps due to continued emigration from logged areas plus mortality associated with competition for status at the big leks on native areas. Such movements presumably occur mostly at times of high population density.

Estimating sex specific apparent survival and dispersal of Little Ringed Plovers (Charadrius dubius)
Authors: Pakanen Veli-Matti , Lampila Satu , Arppe Heikki , Valkama Jari
Published: December 2023

Sex differences in survival have consequences to population dynamics making information on sex specific survival important. In birds, females often have lower survival than males, and one of the main mechanisms is considered to be differential reproductive investment. We studied apparent adult survival and local recruitment of a small monoga-mous shorebird, the Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius), with 18 years of capture– recapture data collected from a population breeding in Southern Finland. We expected no sex differences in adult survival because parental care is shared and double-broods and excessive relaying are rare in this northern population. Because apparent survival is the product of true survival and site fidelity, we also estimated breeding and natal dispersal distances within the study area to examine bias in survival estimates caused by permanent emigration. We found higher apparent adult survival in males (0.660) than in females (0.609), but no sex differences in local recruitment (0.080). Breeding dispersal distances were longer in females than in males mainly due to lower breeding site fidelity of females (0.620) than that of males (0.808). Thus, the lower apparent survival of females likely resulted from permanent emigration. Interestingly, the philopatric portion of the population (from local recruitment analysis) had higher apparent adult survival than what was found from the analysis of all adults. These apparent survival estimates that are less likely to be biased by permanent emigration showed no sex differences (males 0.734; females 0.721), supporting our conclusion of no sex difference in true adult survival.
A comparative laboratory study of the preservation of different rodent bones in pellets of Strigiformes
Authors: Sharikov Alexander , Kovinka Tatyana , Bragin Michail
Published: December 2023

Studies of variation in preservation of different skeletal elements in the pellets of birds of prey helps us understand which bones should be used for effective and reliable diet analyses. The preservation of cranial and postcranial elements of skeletons of laboratory mice was studied in owl pellets. The research was conducted with three male individuals of three species: Long-eared Owl, Tawny Owl and Pygmy Owl. The owls were fed with adult and immature mice in laboratory conditions. The preservation of bones was defined as the ratio of the number of whole specimens of a certain bone to the total number of bones which were contained in the body of one mouse. The largest and the most massive bones had a high preservation. The upper part of cranium and the large bones of limb girdles had the highest preservation in the owl pellets. The bones of immature mice had higher preservation in the pellets of Pygmy Owl compared to Long-eared and Tawny Owl. Age differences in bone size and thickness were explained the variation in preservation of immature and adult mouse bones.

Published: December 2023

For several decades, there have been changes in the distance of bird migration. The Eurasian Reed Warbler Acrocephalus scirpaceus is a Trans-Saharan migratory species, which, as recent records suggest, is increasingly wintering in the Iberian Peninsula. This study investigated the strength of the influence of climate on the wintering of this insectivorous species in the Iberian Peninsula, and also used geospatial modelling to identify the most favourable areas. The model was constructed to identify the most relevant explanatory factors of this distribution and it was assessed by applying calibration and discrimination criteria, and the influence of each factor was analysed using variation partitioning.

The greatest loss of biodiversity in the EU has occurred on agricultural land. The Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is one of the many numerous and widespread European farmland breeding bird species showing major population declines linked to European agricultural intensification. Here we present results based on monitoring data collected since 1975 in 24 countries to examine the influence of changing extent of grassland and cattle abundance (based on results of earlier studies showing the importance of lowland cattle grazed grassland for the species), wintering provenance and temperature on national breeding population trends of Starlings across Europe. Positive Starling population trends in Central-East Europe contrast with negative trends in North and West Europe. Based on this indicative approach, we found some support for the importance of cattle stock and no support for grassland, temperature or wintering provenance to explain Starling population trends in Europe.
Abundance estimation from point counts when replication is spatially intensive but temporally limited: comparing binomial N-mixture and hierarchical distance sampling models
Authors: Neubauer Grzegorz , Sikora Arkadiusz
Published: December 2023

We investigated the performance of hierarchical distance sampling (HDS) versus binomial N-mixture (binmix) models, both aiming at abundance (or, equivalently, density) estimation. We tested the accuracy of density estimates using simulated data and compared them to the estimates coming from a Red-breasted Flycatcher (Ficedula parva) point count survey in the Dar¿lubie Forest (N Poland). In both the simulations and the actual data, we mimicked varying plot size (i.e., radius length, and site area) and song loudness from quiet to loud by modifying detection functions. We found that the resolution at which distance detection data are collected (i.e., the number and width of distance classes) had essentially no effect on estimates and their precision in HDS, even when birds were only assigned into two, wide distance classes, such as “close” and “far”. Both site size (radius length) and song loudness affected density estimates in HDS only slightly: a positive bias (by 5%–17%) occurred when sites were small and a lower precision occurred for quiet singers.

Wind-energy expansion raises concerns over its potential impacts on bird populations. Birds may be affected directly via collision with turbines or indirectly via habitat loss or displacement due to disturbance. Species with long generation times, low reproductive output or high habitat specialisation are more likely to be impacted. Using national-scale breeding bird distributions, we applied a quantitative prioritisation method to assess the vulnerability of species to onshore wind-energy developments in Finland. We assessed 214 species that regularly breed in the country. Each species was assigned a priority score based on a combination of life-history traits, habitat specialisation, exposure to wind energy and conservation status. We found that the priority scores varied markedly between species, allowing a distinction between a minority of high-ranked species and a majority of low-ranked species. High-ranked species included terns (e.g., Sternula albifrons), raptors (e.g., Aquila chrysaetos), gulls (e.g., Larus fuscus), some forestdwelling passerines (e.g., Poecile montanus) and ducks (e.g., Aythya ferina). Lowranked species included woodpeckers (e.g., Picus canus) and many passerines. Our results indicate that the priority species are not limited to the more highly regarded large raptors, and that wind-energy impact assessments need to pay special attention to highranked species inhabiting coastal areas.

Objetiva-se com esse trabalho, realizar uma análise de dados advindos da Plataforma DATASUS, determinar o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes diagnosticados com a Doença de Alzheimer, buscando informações para comparar quantitativamente o número de internamentos hospitalares entre as diferentes macrorregiões do estado do Paraná, abrangendo a perspectiva a nível nacional. Em resultado de análise da pesquisa, foi verificado que houveram mais pacientes do sexo feminino internadas, em hospital da rede pública e privada, entre os anos de 2020 a 2022, sendo a prevalência na faixa etária entre 80 anos ou mais, parâmetro esse que aumentou ao passar os anos. Em específico ao Paraná, houve uma queda no ranking de internamentos entre os anos estudados, comparado a nível nacional, mas que apresentou um mesmo padrão de caso clínico, ou seja, foi observado uma prevalência maior no número de internamentos em mulheres, com 80 anos ou mais, abrangendo esse mesmo padrão para as Macrorregiões Paranaenses. A título de comparação, foi possível estudar artigos referente a esse perfil epidemiológico de internados na cidade de Sergipe-PB, a qual apresentou similaridade do mesmo encontrado no Paraná. Além disso, esse artigo buscou apresentar os custos referentes a internamentos no Brasil, com o intuito de conhecer e planejar financeiramente para os próximos anos os investimentos necessários, em estrutura, materiais, e organizar uma equipe multidisciplinar (médicos, enfermeiros, técnicos de enfermagem, fisioterapeutas e fonoaudiológicos) para garantir uma assistência de saúde qualificada e treinada, proporcionando cuidados e uma qualidade de vida para esses pacientes

A obesidade tem sido cada vez mais recorrente na população tornando-se um problema de saúde pública. Logo, verifica-se que a cirurgia bariátrica é uma alternativa que ultimamente está sendo bastante utilizada para intervir em tal problemática, uma vez que a técnica é significativamente eficaz na perda de peso e, consequentemente, no controle das comorbidades. Assim, este estudo teve como objetivo identificar as complicações e a assistência de enfermagem relacionadas às cirurgias bariátricas. Tratou-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura através da base de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Google Acadêmico, realizada no mês de maio de 2023. Os resultados encontrados neste estudo destacaram as seguintes áreas temáticas: “Assistência de enfermagem aos pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátricas” (8); “Complicações relacionadas à cirurgia bariátrica” (5) e abordagem relacionada à ambos os temas (2). Conclui-se, portanto, que diante da complexidade que envolve o paciente obeso e as evidências de complicações decorrentes das cirurgias bariátrica, justifica-se a atuação da equipe interdisciplinar, na qual o enfermeiro capacitado e com condições adequadas de trabalho, poderá contribuir para proporcionar uma diminuição dos riscos de complicações.

This article aims to reflect on diversity and inclusion as fundamental elements for the educational process. This theme is essential for contemporary reality, especially since, nowadays, it demands greater attention on the need to attend to the core of diversity and inclusion for a good educational process. Methodologically, for the execution of this work, we focused on debates held in the discipline's classes, as well as permeated by conceptions of authors such as Brian, Oliver (2012), Ambrosetti (1999), as well as the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education - LDB ( 1996). It is evident throughout these writings that inclusion, in turn, goes beyond mere acceptance, encompassing practices that guarantee guaranteed access, participation and opportunities for all students, regardless of their characteristics and that it is necessary to embrace diversity and promote diversity. inclusion, the educational process becomes more comprehensive and effective, preparing students and the continuous search for strategies that cultivate diversity and promote inclusion in schools and universities.

The risks associated with genetically modified mosquitoes (GMOs) in combating arboviruses, specifically the strains of Aedes aegypti developed by Oxitec, have raised growing concerns due to potential dangers. With dengue becoming endemic in over 100 countries, the search for alternatives in vector control includes the use of GMOs. However, the introduction of these mosquitoes raises considerable concerns regarding potential risks to ecosystems and human health. Employing PRISMA guidelines, a database search identified 913 studies, of which only 4 were included after careful selection. The results highlight relevant findings, such as genomic instability in strains like OX513A and performance disparities between genetically modified mosquitoes and their wild counterparts. The review emphasizes the critical importance of dengue control in Brazil, considering factors like virus genetic variability and challenges in implementing control strategies, including the use of GMOs. Regulation of these organisms is conducted by CTNBio; however, the lack of consensus among various agencies raises doubts about the benefits of implementing these organisms. Given this landscape, the review underscores the ongoing need for monitoring the risks associated with genetically modified mosquitoes, encompassing not only biological implications but also environmental consequences. This approach is imperative for a comprehensive and informed assessment of the efficacy and safety of these organisms in the context of arbovirus control.

O teletrabalho é um regime de trabalho, onde o empregado realiza suas funções laborais fora das dependências do empregador, muitas vezes em sua própria residência. Apesar de não ter uma origem definida, esta modalidade de trabalho foi muito difundida por todo o mundo e ganhou impulso durante a pandemia da COVID-19, diante das medidas protetivas de urgência, como uma forma de amenizar os efeitos da paralização decorrentes da pandemia e flexibilizar o trabalho sem que haja prejuízos tanto para o empregador quanto para o empregado. O presente artigo tem o objetivo de explanar sobre o regime do teletrabalho, bem como identificar os desafios enfrentados pelos servidores públicos judiciais da Comarca de Floriano/PI durante a COVID-19, descrevendo as vantagens e desvantagens desta modalidade pela ótica dos entrevistados. Utilizou-se a metodologia quantitativa por meio de pesquisa aplicada, com caráter exploratório e descritivo, aplicando um questionário aos entrevistados através do formulário do Google. A análise dos resultados obtidos através da pesquisa instigou à busca por soluções quanto às desvantagens, uma vez que o teletrabalho ainda é implantado aos empregados e servidores mesmo após o término do período pandêmico.

A educação é fundamental para a vida social e influi na formação da identidade e da cidadania. A educação moral, religiosa, cultural e científica, formal ou informal, prepara o ser humano para o desenvolvimento de suas atividades, tornando-o capaz de constituir uma relação ativa e transformadora com o meio social. A zoologia tem grandes atrativos para prender a atenção do aluno quando ele se aproxima de um objeto de estudo dessa área, especificamente a vida animal. No entanto, ainda existem aulas focadas na conjectura com pouca interação física ou visual entre os alunos e os animais, fazendo com que os mesmos não se integrem ao conteúdo. Desse modo, o estudo tem como questão problema: “Como o uso de filmes e desenhos animados pode influenciar no ensino e na aprendizagem de ciências?”. O objetivo geral do trabalho é analisar as implicações do uso de filmes e desenhos animados, como “Bob Esponja” e “Procurando Nemo”, para o ensino e aprendizagem de ciências. Esta pesquisa trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica de literatura científica. De acordo com Gil (2010, p. 56): “uma pesquisa bibliográfica é desenvolvida com base em material já elaborado, constituído principalmente de livros e artigos científicos”. Este material foi utilizado na presente pesquisa desde a elaboração do projeto, até consultas às publicações. Com o estudo foi possível compreender que as metodologias e estratégias mais utilizadas no ensino de animais vivos ainda são as tradicionais, necessitando de métodos inovadores para a realização de aulas mais atrativas e que tornem o processo de ensino-aprendizagem desse conteúdo mais significativo para professores e alunos.
The many ways to Transparency
Authors: Cruz Romero Roberto
Published: December 2023

This article explores a sample of the literature on transparency in the 1984-2020 period through a systematic review. The sample consists of 242 works (articles, books, and book chapters) collected from different academic databases. Latent dirichlet allocation (LDA) probabilistic topic modelling – an unsupervised machine learning approach – is employed in order to classify and construct a typology of topics within the literature. This approach is complemented by a structured overview of the varieties of transparency framework and is aimed at addressing three research questions: a) What analytical approaches are identified in the literature? b) How is transparency conceptualised through such analytical approaches? And, c) where has transparency’s focus been placed in relation to an event-process framework? The findings show unequal methodological approaches, topics, and issues investigated. These insights and the novel approach utilised outline key challenges and opportunities for future transparency research.
