Authors: Liu Song , Luo Gusong , Cai Yonglong , Wu Wenjie , Liu Weitao , Zou Rong , Tan Wenxuan
Published: February 2024

Self-service technology (SST) is a logistic innovation in e-commerce that enhances last-mile delivery efficiency in supply chain management. By combining Innovation Diffusion Theory with Resource Matching Theory, we proposed a comprehensive framework to explain the relationships between beliefs, attitude, and intention in Guanzhou, China. The findings revealed that attitude played a crucial role in influencing consumer intention to adopt SST and that attitude has direct and indirect effects. Additionally, consumer perceptions of compatibility, relative advantage, reliability, and complexity indirectly affected their adoption intention through attitude. These factors had positive and negative effects. The results highlighted the importance of attitudes as immediate predictors of intention, as consumer attitudes (favorable and unfavorable) were shaped by their perceptions. We conclude by recommending strategies to promote positive attitudes toward SST and enhance safety, efficiency, and the overall user experience.
Secure multi-path routing for Internet of Things based on trust evaluation

Published: February 2024

In the realm of the Internet of Things (IoT), ensuring the security of communication links and evaluating the safety of nodes within these links remains a significant challenge. The continuous threat of anomalous links, harboring malicious switch nodes, poses risks to data transmission between edge nodes and between edge nodes and cloud data centers. To address this critical issue, we propose a novel trust evaluation based secure multi-path routing (TESM) approach for IoT. Leveraging the software-defined networking (SDN) architecture in the data transmission process between edge nodes, TESM incorporates a controller comprising a security verification module, a multi-path routing module, and an anomaly handling module. The security verification module ensures the ongoing security validation of data packets, deriving trust scores for nodes. Subsequently, the multi-path routing module employs multi-objective reinforcement learning to dynamically generate secure multiple paths based on node trust scores. The anomaly handling module is tasked with handling malicious switch nodes and anomalous paths. Our proposed solution is validated through simulation using the Ryu controller and P4 switches in an SDN environment constructed with Mininet. The results affirm that TESM excels in achieving secure data forwarding, malicious node localization, and the secure selection and updating of transmission paths. Notably, TESM introduces a minimal 12.4% additional forwarding delay and a 5.46% throughput loss compared to traditional networks, establishing itself as a lightweight yet robust IoT security defense solution.
A trajectory planning method for a casting sorting robotic arm based on a nature-inspired Genghis Khan shark optimized algorithm
Authors: Wang Chengjun , Yao Xingyu , Ding Fan , Yu Zhipeng
Published: February 2024

In order to meet the efficiency and smooth trajectory requirements of the casting sorting robotic arm, we propose a time-optimal trajectory planning method that combines a heuristic algorithm inspired by the behavior of the Genghis Khan shark (GKS) and segmented interpolation polynomials. First, the basic model of the robotic arm was constructed based on the arm parameters, and the workspace is analyzed. A matrix was formed by combining cubic and quintic polynomials using a segmented approach to solve for 14 unknown parameters and plan the trajectory. To enhance the smoothness and efficiency of the trajectory in the joint space, a dynamic nonlinear learning factor was introduced based on the traditional Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. Four different biological behaviors, inspired by GKS, were simulated. Within the premise of time optimality, a target function was set to effectively optimize within the feasible space. Simulation and verification were performed after determining the working tasks of the casting sorting robotic arm. The results demonstrated that the optimized robotic arm achieved a smooth and continuous trajectory velocity, while also optimizing the overall runtime within the given constraints. A comparison was made between the traditional PSO algorithm and an improved PSO algorithm, revealing that the improved algorithm exhibited better convergence. Moreover, the planning approach based on GKS behavior showed a decreased likelihood of getting trapped in local optima, thereby confirming the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
Traits pour traits ? Faire avec le portrait
Authors: Deschamps Catherine , Overney Laetitia , Proth Bruno
Published: February 2024

Une même personne peut faire portrait ou en être l’objet, c’est-à-dire l’émettre et le réaliser, le travailler, le réceptionner et, peut-être, le décortiquer, se l’approprier ou le rejeter. Le rapport que chacun et chacune entretient au portrait est devenu ordinaire, sans attache à une discipline particulière, proche d’une expérience totale, dans une synchronie entre position d’objet et de sujet. Dans les pages qui suivent, loin de vouloir faire du portrait un champ constitué, une approche large et parfois contradictoire des différentes tournures de portraits se dessine. Elles peuvent relever des sciences sociales ou proposer des pas de côté. Cette introduction propose d’observer quelques permanences socio-historiques du portrait, comme ses impermanences et transformations contemporaines. Il s’agit d’être attentifs à qui, ou quoi est jugé digne d’être portraituré, aux raisons de la sélection et aux médiations qu’elles opèrent.

Квазиподобие, энтропия и дизъюнктность эргодических действий
Authors: Ryzhikov Valerii Valentinovich , Thouvenot J.-P.
Published: February 2024

В статье дан ответ на вопрос А. М. Вершика о связи отношения квазиподобия динамических систем с энтропией Колмогорова. Доказано, что все бернуллиевские действия заданной бесконечной счетной группы лежат в одном классе квазиподобия. Открытый вопрос: попадает ли в этот класс небернуллиевское действие? Антиподом квазиподобия является дизъюнктность (независимость) действий. М. С. Пинскер доказал, что детерминированное действие независимо от действия с вполне положительной энтропией. При помощи джойнингов в статье получено следующее обобщение теоремы Пинскера: действие с нулевой $P$-энтропией, инвариантом, предложенным А. А. Кирилловым и А. Г. Кушниренко, и действие с вполне положительной $P$-энтропией независимы.

RESUMEN La sobredentadura retenida por dos implantes es una opción para la rehabilitación del edentulismo, pero no se ha estudiado a profundidad su efecto sobre el mantenimiento de la altura del reborde alveolar posterior. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar los cambios en altura del reborde alveolar posterior mandibular después de 7 años del uso de una sobredentadura mandibular. Este estudio descriptivo consideró 17 pacientes. Cada paciente había recibido una sobredentadura mandibular retenida por dos implantes no ferulizados cargados de forma inmediata y unidos mediante ajustes en bola. Se realizaron mediciones en dos radiografías panorámicas (una tomada antes de la inserción de la sobredentadura [T0] y otra siete años después [T7]),para los trazos, el área se expresó como un triángulo posterior formado por el gonion, el borde inferior del agujero mental y un punto que fue el centro del triángulo gonion - foramen mental - muesca sigmoidea. El área medida se comparó con el área triangular en el mismo lado. Los resultados en mm con significancia estadística (p< 0.05) fueron: área de referencia ósea “X”( [T0]:494.3- [T7]:431.6) área de referencia ósea izquierda ([T0]:502.0 -[T7]:405.3) y el índice de área posterior([T0]:1.4-[T7]:1.2).Los resultados en mm sin significancia estadísticas(p>0.05)indicaron: área de referencia ósea “X” derecha([T0]:486.1 - [T7]:458.0), área de referencia en “Y” izquierda ([T0]:354.8-[T7]:360.6), derecha ([T0]:361.9-[T7]:375.6) y promedio de longitud del reborde maxilar ([T0]:35.4-[T7]:36.9). La reabsorción del reborde alveolar posterior a los 7 años estuvo dentro de los parámetros normales, no existiría ningún efecto nocivo de la sobredentadura sobre este reborde.

Secure Digital Signature Using Block Chain Technology
Authors: S Manu , . Bhagappa , G K Suhas
Published: February 2024

The lack of authentication and ant forge mechanisms severely compromises the security details of the authorizations issuing the certification. We employ blockchain technology to verify people in a way that is akin to a digital signature with their identity and access authorization, so resolving the issue of certificate forgery. Blockchain technology is an open distributed ledger that ensures that every transaction cannot be altered and holds unquestionable information in a highly secure and encrypted manner. A high standard for the procedure that may guarantee that the data in such a certificate is authentic indicates that the document is authentic and has not been forged, having come from a reliable source. The interplanetary file system uses the content address as the only means of uniquely identifying every file inside a global namespace that includes all computing devices. A bi-dimensional barcode that provides data as black and white dots is called a Quick Response (QR) code. The system consists of black squares that can be photographed by a camera or other image device, arranged in a square framework on a white background.
Role of E-Shopping Orientation and Trust in predicting Impulsive Buying Behaviour
Authors: John Annie , Mathew Jain , Nair Sridevi
Published: February 2024

Impulse Buying and the drivers of similar consumer behaviours have captured the interest of researchers for quite some time now. The construct was first explored in the context of offline or brick and mortar stores. However, with the growing popularity of online retail stores has led to the concept being included in studies on customer behaviour, specifically in the online context. In the current study, the researchers attempt to contribute to literature on customer behaviour in the online environment by exploring the relationship between E-Shopping Orientation, Trust and Impulsive Buying Behaviour. The focus of the currents study is the members of Generation Y. The scope was limited to this specific section, given that each generation differs from the other in terms of their behaviour, needs and drivers. While the direct impact of E-shopping Orientation on Impulsive Buying Behaviour was found to be not statistically significant, the indirect effect was found to be significant. This suggests that Trust fully mediates the relationship between E-Shopping Orientation and Impulsive Buying Behaviour. In addition to contributing to literature in the area of customer behaviour, the findings also add to our understanding of a major section of the Indian customer base.

Authors: Riopel Mary , Wynarczuk KImberly , Grube Taylor
Published: February 2024

Interprofessional education (IPE) aims to develop healthcare practitioners who work effectively in teams, demonstrate strong communication skills, respect others, and have a working knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of other professionals. Of identified research to date, it is unclear what students perceive as important for effective IPE delivery and learning. The purpose of this study was to identify graduate students' perceptions of facilitators and barriers to learning interprofessional practice using phenomenology. Three semi-structured focus groups were conducted including athletic training, occupational therapy, or speech-language pathology students and the transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis. Four themes emerged about IPE teaching methods and delivery: (1) addressing roles and responsibilities (2) student collaboration and communication (3) engaging with faculty and (4) enhancing realism and diversity of experiences. The themes suggested that IPE can either facilitate or create barriers for students when learning roles and responsibilities, collaborating, and communicating with fellow students, and engaging with faculty. Enhancing the realism and diversity of represented professionals were perceived as potential facilitators for future IPE sessions.

Sexuality Research During a National Lockdown: Reflexive Notes and Lessons from my Ph.D. Fieldwork
Authors: Maake Tsepo
Published: February 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges for qualitative researchers since many countries had to implement lockdown policies to control the spread of the virus. Within the South African context, research on sexual minority identities and experiences is automatically sensitive and risky given the extent of intolerance and high regard for heteronormative ideologies and beliefs that continually exclude sexual minorities from the “normal.” The sensitivity is intensified during a national lockdown since there is an excessive reliance on digital public spaces to recruit participants and conduct interviews. Based on the experience of Ph.D. fieldwork, this paper pays attention to a sexuality researcher’s experience of conducting research on gay men’s experiences in the South African military and police services during a national lockdown. Particular attention is given to the dilemmas posed by the government’s restriction on physical movement and reliance on digital spaces, particularly social media to identify gay men who work in the two organizations and form virtual relationships of mutual trust. Ultimately, this paper holds that reflexivity is critical to feminist research on vulnerable sexual minorities when the relationships between the researcher and the researched are established and maintained through digital platforms. While digital spaces offer opportunities to reach vulnerable populations, they present some challenges that may compromise the credibility of the study if not identified by the researcher.
Reflection, Reflexivity, Learning and the Influence of Formalised and Experiential Piano Training
Authors: Li Dorothy
Published: February 2024

This autoethnographic study examines how music learning is influenced by teachers and socio-cultural environments and how this influences not only our musical journeys but the way we view our lives, of the progress we have made, the goals in which we hope to achieve, and the way we perceive we will achieve them. This study explores how my musical background, understanding, learning, music-making abilities, and skills have shaped my present beliefs, attitudes and identity as a musician, educator, and researcher. Focusing on teacher pedagogy and practice, the study reveals how prevailing teacher-centred and didactic approaches to teaching impact the perspectives and experiences of learning, and how music teachers have the ability to motivate, and encourage, but also demoralise and dissuade the musical learner. This study highlights understanding of reflective and reflexive teacher practice and how this can unlock impactful pedagogical and relational attributes, articulating teacher development in becoming the better musician and teacher. This study revealed important insights into the way in which I now experience and understand music through a more insightful and deeper awareness of the influences and contexts that impact the way learners engage in music instruction.
How I Obtained My PhD Admission Letter: A Reflective Interaction-Based Autoethnography
Authors: Xu Qing , Chia Kei Wei
Published: February 2024

This account utilises autoethnography to explore how the “one-child generation’s” cultural context influences behaviours and character traits, focusing on the first author’s experiences during a 5-month doctoral program application. It examines interactions with the employer, unacquainted individuals, intermediaries, and family, encapsulated in three Episodes, to analyse the personality traits of this generation. The findings reveal that, though deeply rooted in traditional culture, character traits such as risk aversion, caution, and family dependency are not immutable. It highlights the potential for personal transformation through inward growth, proactive external engagement, and the support of families who challenge traditional norms. In terms of subjective meaning, the process involves expanding one’s world perspective outwardly, and it involves inward self-growth and self-establishment for working youth and generates value throughout life. It also provides a profound opportunity to understand and interpret our own cultural imprints. In terms of social interaction, this process vividly captures the emotional fluctuations and the proactive choices and changes demonstrated by individuals in their interactions with different subjects. This research offers valuable insights for individuals grappling with uncertainties and doubts in navigating their life and career paths.
A Culturally Grounded Approach to Nepalese Grandmothers’ Caring Work: Developing Dohori as a Narrative Methodology
Authors: Bhatta Kusum
Published: February 2024

The social sciences have a growing seismic shift from prioritising positivist, objective, and generalizable knowledge to accepting subjective qualitative knowledge. This has given rise to various art-based methods that leverage multi-sensory storytelling/narrative. To further advance innovation in qualitative narrative methods, I will present the Dohori narrative, an indigenous Nepali poetic storytelling method for narrative research with older grandmothers doing care work. I start by presenting a discourse on Dohori to understand better the history and traditional and cultural underpinning of the method. Provided a brief background to Nepali grandmother immigrants and then discussed the promise of Dohori as a form of culturally relevant narrative interviewing with this population. To demonstrate this, I provide an examplar case study adopting a conventional narrative interview and then Dohori to show the differences. The study showed that Dohori has the potential to elicit stories, emotions, and tacit knowledge and access other areas of consciousness that traditional narrative interviews are not privy to. I conclude by arguing for the adoption of Dohori and similar dialogical poetic methods for research with indigenous populations, especially minority groups with limited voice.

Authors: Ardiansyah Abd Aziz
Published: February 2024

Marilyn Lichman's Qualitative Research in Education: A User’s Guide is a well-written and valuable textbook for new and experienced researchers. Regarding title and content, this textbook focuses more on educational research. Still, it does not rule out the possibility that this book can be used in qualitative research outside education. An exciting thing was the division of phases into three stages: (1) Tradition, theory, and practice; (2) Research planning; and (3) Collect, organize, and communicate. This perfect division allows researchers who have read this book to conduct qualitative research. Readers will also find that the examples used throughout the text and the appendices complement the written instructions clearly and explicitly. Therefore, this text is handy for a researcher who will conduct qualitative research. It deserves a good rating for any curriculum and should be a reference source for relevant qualitative inquiry.
Transformative Visions of Qualitative Inquiry: Performative, Philosophical, and Artistic Transformations
Authors: Dahal Niroj
Published: February 2024

I am writing this review, Transformative Visions for Qualitative Inquiry, considering performative, philosophical, and artistic transformations as an essential reading for faculty and students—novice and veteran. It inspires readers, writers, and novice and veteran researchers in various social sciences disciplines and educational landscapes to envision innovative approaches to healing from crises like the COVID-19 pandemic and/or earthquakes. These processes encourage resisting, recovering, connecting, finding joy, and embracing life. Likewise, Transformative Visions for Qualitative Inquiry centers on the concept of transformation and its potential for the future of qualitative research amidst a world grappling with the multifaceted implications of COVID-19, climate change, political unrest, inequality, and various forms of oppression. In these times of uncertainty, distinguished scholars from around the world are looking forward with a rejuvenated sense of optimism while staying rooted in the understanding that there is still much work to be done. So, I realized that research must give rise to the challenges of our hopeful yet ever-changing future. The contributors of Transformative Visions for Qualitative Inquiry ponder a variety of topics, including academic healing, environmental justice, the dominance of higher education and its challenges to critical education, arts-based research such as songwriting, participatory workshops, and auto poetics, disruptions to traditional humanist and Western thought, and explorations of empathy and life writing.

Authors: Farias Kelly Soares , De Oliveira Débora Carvalho , Campos Tania Fernandes
Published: February 2024

O Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC) é uma doença neurológica com grande prevalência em adultos e idosos. Aproximadamente um terço dos sobreviventes tornam-se funcionalmente dependentes, apresentando comprometimento das atividades da vida diária e ciclo sono-vigília. O objetivo foi avaliar o padrão de atividade dos pacientes com AVC de acordo com a qualidade do sono. A amostra foi constituída por 10 pacientes (3 mulheres e 7 homens; idade média de 51±6 anos) e 10 indivíduos saudáveis (3 mulheres e 7 homens, idade média de 52±7 anos). Avaliação foi realizada pelo Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh e pela Actigrafia durante 7 dias consecutivos. Para análise estatística, utilizou-se o teste t’Student não-pareado e a ANOVA de medidas repetidas. Verificou-se diferença significativa entre pacientes e indivíduos saudáveis no nível de atividade diário, com os pacientes apresentando menos atividade (pacientes = 6463±8639 counts, saudáveis = 13465±13646 counts, p < 0,0001). Os pacientes também tiveram pior qualidade do sono do que os saudáveis (pacientes = 6±4; saudáveis = 4±2; p = 0,044). Os resultados apontaram uma relação entre o padrão de atividade e a qualidade do sono. Os pacientes com qualidade de sono ruim apresentaram ritmo de atividade mais fragmentado ao longo das 24 horas, apontando os efeitos deletérios na sincronização do ritmo circadiano de atividade após o AVC. Dessa forma, verificou-se a necessidade de um cuidado multiprofissional para melhorar a condição de saúde desses pacientes, conforme preconizado pela Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde.
CEIM SIDNÉIA DA SILVA COSTA: ENTRE HISTÓRIAS E MEMÓRIAS DE UMA CRECHE INTEGRAL DE MARICÁ / RJ
Authors: TOLEDO PEREIRA RENATA
Published: February 2024

Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar a história do Centro de Educação Infantil Municipal Sidnéia da Silva Costa, bem como as memórias que permeiam sua trajetória. Foi inaugurado no ano de 2019, mas a luta pela sua existência antecede o citado período. O CEIM está localizado, oficialmente, no bairro de Araçatiba, primeiro distrito do município de Maricá / RJ, situado na região metropolitana do estado. Todavia, diante de memórias em disputa, percebemos a tentativa de apagamento da história do bairro com a troca de seu nome, anteriormente denominado de Saco das Flores. Essa mudança é fruto das alterações recentes da lei de abairreamento municipal. Sua patronesse foi uma professora da rede municipal de ensino, nascida em Maricá. Sidnéia contribuiu arduamente para a qualidade da educação, principalmente aquela oferecida na zona rural. Como referencial teórico-metodológico, dialogamos com a noção de “memórias subterrâneas” (POLLAK, 1989), ressaltando a importância da história das instituições escolares (XAVIER et al, 2022) para a construção da identidade institucional. As fontes utilizadas consistem na documentação da Secretaria Municipal de Educação de Maricá, publicações do Jornal Oficial de Maricá, entrevistas e obras acadêmicas acerca do tema. As considerações finais apontam para a necessidade de preservação das memórias e divulgação de histórias sobre o bairro Saco das Flores e o CEIM, visando sua ressonância entre as gerações de futuros educandos e a comunidade escolar.

Para tanto, realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica, sustentada em autores como Houssaye et al. (2004), Silva (2006), Cruz (2011) e Brzezinski (2012), e uma análise documental em leis, decretos, pareceres e diretrizes, as quais nos apresentaram um contexto histórico e legal do curso de Pedagogia e os desafios que enfrentou (e tem enfrentado) para sua consolidação enquanto teoria educacional e pedagógica, curso e profissão. Os resultados evidenciaram que o curso de Pedagogia no Brasil, em sua construção curricular, formativa e identitária, constituiu-se por dificuldades e fragilidades quanto a sua efetivação e consolidação para as práticas profissionais dos futuros pedagogos nos contextos escolar e não escolar. Na sociedade contemporânea, após a promulgação da Resolução n. 1/2006, registra-se como um novo cenário para o curso de Pedagogia, que se afirmou como teoria educacional em diversos contextos de formação humana e no trabalho, porém com foco na docência como base de formação dos futuros pedagogos, distanciando os estudos teóricos e epistemológicos da estrutura curricular dos cursos.
RETRATOS AUTOBIOGRÁFICOS DE UMA ALAGOAS INTERIORANA: RASCUNHOS JORNALÍSTICOS DA PROFESSORA MARIA MARIÁ (1953-1959)
Authors: PIMENTEL DA SILVA HEBELYANNE
Published: February 2024

O texto analisa os elementos autobiográficos na escrita da professora e jornalista alagoana Maria Mariá, divulgados durante a década de 1950 no Jornal de Alagoas. Entre 57 publicações encontradas durante a pesquisa, foram percebidos elementos que vinculam a forma de pensamento da personagem estudada, as ideias predominantes no Manifesto dos Educadores, publicado em 1959. Além de repensar o planejamento disposto no Manifesto dos Pioneiros da Educação Nova (1932), este sugere maior atenção aos elementos possibilitadores da evolução do pensamento crítico, evidenciando o estudo como ponto central da evolução. A educadora reflete as ideias do tempo, ressaltando pontos de rebeldia ao denunciar o descaso com a educação pública e com a profissão docente, na cidade de União dos Palmares. Pela natureza da investigação documental, o método adotado é o micro analítico, disposto por Carlo Ginzburg (1989, 2006, 2007), em sua especificidade de análise aos pequenos fatos para mais ampla percepção da globalidade social. Embora o recorte temporal corresponda a um período de ensaio de democracia, percebe-se, em observação a trajetória, os diferentes tipos de violência simbólica vivenciados por quem atrevia-se a exercer a docência, fazendo-se concluir que a liberdade de pensamento e expressão não se fez presente entre marginais, e a habilidade escriturária foi um instrumento de resistência.

Published: February 2024

This study examines the effect of regional financial performance (effectiveness ratio, efficiency, fiscal decentralization) and budget ratcheting on the allocation of capital expenditure in local governments in Central Java Province from 2018-2021. The population in this study were all Regency/City Regional Governments in Central Java Province in 2018-2021. The sample used was 35 local governments. Hypothesis testing using panel data regression. The results showed that regional financial performance (effectiveness ratio, efficiency, fiscal decentralization) and budget ratcheting affect capital expenditure allocation. Effectiveness and efficiency ratios negatively affect capital expenditure allocation, fiscal decentralization ratio positively affects capital expenditure allocation, and budget ratcheting negatively affects capital expenditure allocation. This study provides empirical evidence that one of the tools to analyze regional financial performance in managing regional finances is to conduct a financial ratio analysis. The novelty of this research is the addition of budget ratcheting variables that have not been widely studied in Indonesia, especially those using local government objects.
