It Takes A Village: Strength-Based Approaches And Interventions For Children And Adolescents With Learning Disabilities In Combination With Depression And Anxiety
Authors: Scott Haley , Naginewicz Ashley
Published: January 2022

Children and adolescents with learning disabilities often carry a stigma associated with their disability, which makes them vulnerable to struggle with diagnoses of depression and anxiety. The dual diagnosis can create challenges outside of the classroom and within the home environment as well as the community and within the school setting (Maag & Reid, 2016). Therefore, working with this specific adolescent population requires an understanding from mental health providers in regard to their specific brain development, age appropriate responsiveness, and creative problem solving skills (Murray, 2003). Accordingly, mental health professionals and the front line workers are encouraged to work in harmony with the family, school, and community providers as inclusive protective factors within the adolescent and child’s life. This can be instituted by recognizing the challenges of dual diagnosis in children and adolescents with learning disabilities as well as learning appropriate and beneficial interventions (Murray, 2003). Appropriate interventions may help with the negative impact that anxiety has on social and learning processes. Studies have shown that only one third of students with mental health disorders receive sufficient treatment (Maag & Reid, 2016). In order to recognize the challenges, the mental health provider must also be able to understand what raises the risk of development or increase in symptoms. This paper, therefore, employs a meta-analysis and statistical analysis of literature reviews and seminal knowledge to construct the importance of utilizing strength-based collaboration approach of community mental health, school supports and home providers to promote optimal social and emotional growth, which can assist in long-term successful outcomes for the learning disabled student.

Authors: Studzieniecki Tomasz , Palmowski Tadeusz
Published: January 2022

Działania marketingowe podejmowane przez podmioty systemu turystycznego odgrywają ważną rolę w rozwoju turystyki przyjazdowej, która dla obszarów odwiedzanych przez podróżnych jest źródłem wielu korzyści o charakterze ekonomicznym i pozaekonomicznym. Wśród tych podmiotów znajdują się morscy przewoźnicy promowi, którzy przy okazji promocji swoich usług mogą również promować nadmorskie destynacje turystyczne. Głównym celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie, w jaki sposób morscy przewoźnicy promowi przyczyniają się do promocji nadmorskich obszarów recepcji turystycznej. Celem dodatkowym jest identyfikacja atrybutów i determinant turystyki promowej oraz wskazanie perspektyw jej rozwoju w Polsce. W artykule wykorzystano metodę analizy źródeł wtórnych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem materiałów informacyjno-promocyjnych przewoźników. Badania wykazały, że jedynym obszarem emisji turystycznej jest Szwecja. Na polskim rynku turystycznym funkcjonuje czterech przewoźników, których promy łączą 3 porty w Polsce (Świnoujście, Gdynia, Gdańsk) z 4 portami w Szwecji (Karlskrona, Ystad, Trelleborg, Nynäshamn). Przewoźnicy oferują zróżnicowane produkty turystyczne, w tym pakiety obejmujące usługi świadczone na lądzie w Polsce. Promowane przez przewoźników miejscowości znajdują się przede wszystkim w województwach nadmorskich. Szczególnie bogatą ofertę turystyczną ma szwedzki przewoźnik Stena Line, którego promy łączą Gdynię z Karlskroną w Szwecji. Otwarty w 2021 r. nowoczesny terminal w Gdyni umożliwi szybką obsługę większej liczby promów, co w przyszłości może przełożyć się na wzrost liczby podróżnych odwiedzających Polskę.
Design for learning programming
Authors: Sparf Maria , Löfgren Håkan , Kreitz- Sandberg Susanne
Published: January 2022

Programming recently became mandatory in Swedish compulsory schools (age group 7-16); this article contributes to our understanding of novice learners’ different approaches when programming. The study builds on observations and informal conversations during programming lessons at three Swedish science centres. At the time of the study, science centres already had experience of programming education as they offered courses for pupils. This was used as a complement to teaching at compulsory school. We apply a design-for-learning perspective to help us understand how contextual aspects influence what novice pupils do and how they design their learning during programming lessons. During the analysis process, we combine thematic analysis with the Learning Design Sequence (LDS) model. We identify five qualitatively different approaches that pupils take to solve programming problems: mathematically, trial and error, step-by-step, routine as well as aesthetic. Each of these approaches allows pupils to use and practice different abilities that are important for programming. We discuss how these abilities can be compared to computational thinking (CT). The study provides an insight how pupils are involved in designing their own learning when using their abilities to solve programming assignments.
De expressões faciais à experiência do jogador: desafios da adaptação automática de jogos sérios com Computação Afetiva
Authors: Aranha Renan Vinicius , Nunes Fátima L. S.
Published: January 2022

Jogos sérios mesclam os desafios de aplicações de entretenimento e produtividade no oferecimento de uma boa experiência ao usuário. Uma abordagem promissora é a adaptação automática dos jogos em momentos específicos, quando detecta-se que o usuário não está desfrutando de uma boa experiência. Visando a contribuir com este cenário, esta pesquisa de doutorado propõe o desenvolvimento de um framework que possibilite a adaptação automática de jogos sérios em conformidade com o estado emocional e a personalidade do jogador. Para tal finalidade, além do desenvolvimento do arcabouço computacional, encontram-se desafios inerentes ao tratamento de fatores humanos complexos e subjetivos, como as emoções, a personalidade e a experiência do usuário. Neste escopo, a avaliação da experiência do jogador por meio da análise de expressões faciais apresenta-se como um desafio. No presente estudo foi verificada uma baixa correlação entre expressões faciais e o engajamento do jogador. Adicionalmente, emoções negativas não necessariamente representam uma experiência ruim com o jogo, tornando esta proposta ainda mais complexa.

Authors: Mustakeem Mustakeem , Soukane Sofiane , Saqib Nawaz Muhammad , Ghaffour Noreddine
Published: January 2022

At present, around 25% of water desalination processes are based on distillation. Similar to classical distillation, membrane distillation is a phased-change process in which a hydrophobic membrane separates two phases. Membrane distillation is considered an emerging player in the desalination, food processing and water treatment market. Due to its high salt rejection, less fouling propensity, operating at moderate temperature and pressure, membrane distillation is considered as a future sustainable desalination technology. The distillation process is quite well known in desalination. However, membrane distillation emerged a few decades ago, and a thorough understanding is needed to adapt this technique in the near future. This review chapter introduces the classical distillation and membrane distillation as an emerging technology in the desalination arena. Heat and mass transfer and thermodynamics in membrane distillation, characteristics of the performance metrics of membrane distillation are also described. Finally, the performance evaluation of MD is presented. The possibility of using low-grade heat in membrane distillation allows it to integrate directly to solar energy and industrial waste heat.
Evaluation of Energy Efficiency of Buildings Based on LCA and LCC Assessment: Method, Computer Tool, and Case Studies
Authors: Domjan Suzana , Arkar Ciril , Fink Rok , Medved Sašo
Published: January 2022

In this chapter, the development of a computer tool for the determination of nearly zero energy buildings (nZEB) metrics upgraded with life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost (LCC) indicators is presented, following the requirements of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). The computer tool was developed for the assessment of new and renovated buildings to support the holistic decision-making process. The tool itself consists of two modules: the building description module (BDU), based on the national certification tool of buildings’ energy performance, and the LCA tool (Etool). BDU enables the assessment of energy needs, final energy demand, and primary energy needs. According to the EPBD, supporting standards was upgraded with the life cycle inventory database. The database includes data on predefined building materials, envelope components, heat generators, and energy carriers and is used by Etool with which mid-point and end-point life cycle impact assessment can be done by taking into account impact groups and damage factors from IMPACT2002+ and ReCiPe methods. The LCC assessment module, which is also part of Etool, was developed according to Commission Delegated Regulation No. 244/212. The use of computer tools is demonstrated through the case studies.
Pest Insects and Their Biological Control
Authors: Busra Eroglu Gozde
Published: January 2022

Cotton is an industrial plant with a high commercial value. It is used in various fields such as textile, food (cotton oil), gunpowder industry, paper, and furniture production. One of the most important problems encountered during cotton production is insects that feed on cotton and cause economic loss. The intensive amount of pesticides is used by the producers for the control of pest insects. As insects gain resistance to pesticides over time, the amount of chemical pesticides applied is gradually increasing. Chemical products are quite harmful to both living things and the environment. For this reason, there is a need to popularize biological control methods instead of using pesticides to control pests. In this chapter, detailed information about insect species causing damage to cotton and biological control methods is given.
Quantum Physical Interpretation of Thermoelectric Properties of Ruthenate Pyrochlores
Authors: Akhbarifar Sepideh
Published: January 2022

Lead- and lead-yttrium ruthenate pyrochlores were synthesized and investigated for Seebeck coefficients, electrical- and thermal conductivity. Compounds A2B2O6.5+z with 0 ≤ z < 0.5 were defect pyrochlores and p-type conductors. The thermoelectric data were analyzed using quantum physical models to identify scattering mechanisms underlying electrical (σ) and thermal conductivity (κ) and to understand the temperature dependence of the Seebeck effect (S). In the metal-like lead ruthenates with different Pb:Ru ratios, σ (T) and the electronic thermal conductivity κe (T) were governed by ‘electron impurity scattering’, the lattice thermal conductivity κL (T) by the 3-phonon resistive process (Umklapp scattering). In the lead-yttrium ruthenate solid solutions (Pb(2-x)YxRu2O(6.5±z)), a metal–insulator transition occurred at 0.2 moles of yttrium. On the metallic side (<0.2 moles Y) ‘electron impurity scattering’ prevailed. On the semiconductor/insulator side between x = 0.2 and x = 1.0 several mechanisms were equally likely. At x > 1.5 the Mott Variable Range Hopping mechanism was active. S (T) was discussed for Pb-Y-Ru pyrochlores in terms of the effect of minority carrier excitation at lower- and a broadening of the Fermi distribution at higher temperatures. The figures of merit of all of these pyrochlores were still small (≤7.3 × 10−3).

Published: January 2022

The results of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) studies of permafrost and aerial photography, carried out at key sites in the Sentsa River valley (Oka Plateau, Eastern Sayan Ridge), are presented.

For geophysical studies, an OKO-2 GPR completed with an AB-90 shielded antenna unit was used with a maximum sounding depth of up to 20 m and a resolution of 0.5 m. To account for the landscape elevation, the Trimble TS635 tacheometer and the Leiсa DISTO D 510 rangefinder performed hypsometric measurements with a step of 1.0 m. Aerial photography was carried out by a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) DJI Inspire 1 Pro, equipped with a Zenmuse 3X camera (a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels) with a spatial resolution of 5.7–7.8 cm/pixel (in different years).

In the structure of frozen lacustrine-alluvial sediments, three GPR complexes are distinguished, corresponding to the active layer and frozen rocks with different amounts of schlieren, lenses and layers of texture-forming ice. The orthophoto map and tacheometric survey analysis showed that the destruction of frost mounds occurs from the second half of April to the first half of October. The most significant relief change is due to the thawing of icy pulverescent clayey silts. It leads to subsidence blocks in the ledge of the Sentsa River terrace. Lateral river thermoerosion also contributes to the frost mounds destruction.
Einschleppung von Tandonia kusceri (Pulmonata: Milacidae) nach Transkarpatien und Verbreitung von Tandonia-Arten in der Ukraine [Introduction of Tandonia kusceri (Pulmonata: Milacidae) in Transcarpathia and distribution of Tandonia species in Ukraine]]

Published: January 2022

The introduced Balkan slug Tandonia kusceri was for the first time recorded in the Transcarpathian region in the west of Ukraine. The slugs were discovered in the autumn of 2018 at the outskirts of Korolevo settlement, Vinogradov district, near the railway depot. Local residents use this site as a dump for construction waste. Until now, only a few occurrences of T. kusceri were known from the south of Ukraine (Odessa and Nikolaev regions, Crimea). The first known specimens of this species were collected in Odessa city in 1902 and subsequently described as Amalia rossica. In total, three species of Tandonia occur in Ukraine, the known localities of which are shown on a map. Tandonia kaleniczenkoi occurs only in the Mountainous Crimea. Tandonia cristata is also sporadically found in the steppe zone of Ukraine, оne finding of this species in the Transcarpathian region near Uzhgorod city was described.
Christian Moral Wisdom, Character Formation, and Contemporary Psychology
Authors: Pawl Timothy , Schnitker Sarah ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2022

Consider the advice for growth in virtue from the Christian Moral Wisdom tradition and contemporary psychology. What is the relation between the outputs of these sources? We present some of the common moral wisdom from the Christian tradition, spelling out the nuance and justification given for the suggestions. We next canvas contemporary psychological findings to discover the evidential relation they bear toward such advice. Although numerous psychological studies might be provided as evidence, we have chosen literatures we believe are most relevant, primarily from personality, social, and positive psychology. Is current evidence set against these old exhortations? Moreover, if contemporary psychology does support Christian Moral Wisdom, does it support it for the same reasons as given by the proponents of Christian Moral Wisdom? We conclude that contemporary psychology does generally support ancient Christian Moral Wisdom in the instances we discuss but with some important caveats or conditions.

Dominacija izdašnosti nad pravičnošću u oporezivanju dodate vrednosti
Authors: Veličković Jovana , Đorđević Marina
Published: January 2022

U savremenim poreskim sistemima postoje različiti oblici oporezivanja potrošnje a najzastupljeniji među njima je porez na dodatu vrednost. PDV predstavlja jednu od najznačajnih kategorija poreskih prihoda, s obzirom na to da ga karakteriše visok stepen izdašnosti.  Međutim, osnovni nedostatak poreza na dodatu vrednost jeste to što raspoređuje poreski teret regresivno u odnosu na prihode poreskog obveznika. S obzirom da relativni udeo potrošnje u dohotku pada kada dohodak raste, porez na dodatu vrednost, utvrđen po jedinstvenoj stopi, teže pogađa siromašnije nego bogatiji deo društva. Cilj rada je da pokaže dominantan odnos principa izdašnosti u odnosu na pravičnost u oporezovanju dodate vrednosti, da ukaže na postojanje problema regresivnosti i na moguće mere koje se mogu primeniti radi zadovoljenja principa pravičnosti u oporezivanju.

Due to Covid-19, which emerged in 2019 and had an impact all over the world, many people started working from home and schools started to provide distance education. Therefore, parents had to spend more time at home with their children. Hence, communication between parents and children at home has become even more important. This study aims to examine the communication of parents with children in the preschool period at home during the covid-19 pandemic period with their children. In this context, relational research model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the research. Data was gathered in Turkey in 2020, from forty-eight seventy-two-month-old children and from 146 mothers/fathers. Demographic information form and "Parent-Child Communication Assessment Tool" were used to collect data. The measurement tool was delivered to the participants in the form of an online link and they were asked to fill in, taking into account their communication with their children during the pandemic period. The data were analyzed and it was observed that the communication of the children at home with their parents differs according to their preschool education status, the number of siblings and the educational level of the father, but not according to the education level of the mother.

Authors: Yılmaz Özelçi
Published: January 2022

In this study, the experiences, feelings and thoughts of the instructors working in the teacher training program about distance education were examined. Therefore, the research is a phenomenological study. A focus group discussion was held. The study group of the research consisted of 5 volunteer lecturers. Faculty members criticize the university's preferred learning management system that allows limited communication. He argues that this provides opportunities for education rather than education. According to the instructors, the students perceived the individual learning preference, which is the most basic advantage of distance education, as irresponsibility rather than freedom. In summary, according to the instructors, interaction and role models are needed in the learning environment. In addition, technical and psychological preparation is important for a successful distance education.
Frequency of restenosis after carotid endarterectomy
Authors: Arnautović Bojana , Končar Igor
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Carotid artery restenosis is a significant long-term complication of carotid endarterectomy. Carotid artery restenosis is the result of neointimal hyperplasia in the early postoperative period or recurrent atherosclerotic lesions in the following period. Numerous studies have incriminated several risk factors as predisposing conditions for restenosis. The definite role of each predisposing factor, however, is still widely debated. Aim: Investigation of frequency and risk factors for restenosis after carotid endarterectomy. Material and methods: Data of 295 patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy was reviewed between 2008 and 2010. Postoperative duplex studies were performed on control examinations in the following period between 2011 and 2019. Retrospective analysis was performed to assess the effect of demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients on the development of restenosis after carotid endarterectomy. Results: Restenosis occurred in 76 (26%) patients after carotid endarterectomy, with the highest incidence during the third (33%) and fourth (25%) year of follow-up. Patients with diabetes (p = 0.048) and peripheral arterial occlusive disease (p = 0.041) had significant statistical correlation with the occurrence of restenosis, as well as parameters of lipid status - cholesterol values (p = 0.025), serum low-density lipoprotein (p = 0.036) and non highdensity lipoprotein (p = 0.041). Conclusion: The results of our study confirm the significant role of atherosclerotic risk factors in the development of carotid artery restenosis in the later postoperative period. More frequent monitoring and control of systemic risk factors in these patients is necessary in order to prevent the development of carotid artery restenosis.
The crisis of democracy: Schmitt's critique of liberal democracy
Authors: Petrović Luka
Published: January 2022

Based on Schmitt's critique of parliamentary democracy during the interwar crisis period, this paper answers the question of how relevant his insights are today regarding the political consequences of ignoring power relations in a society, and what negative effects are produced by depoliticization of economic and social relations. The author argues that Schmitt accurately diagnoses the key problems of parliamentary democracies. These are their inability to protect themselves from powerful social groups that displace decision-making from parliament, and neutrality towards political content potentially leading to the abuse of political institutions. However, solutions should not be sought in his work, especially because of the willingness to accept the broad competencies of the executive power in times of crisis and justify the suppression of party pluralism.
Models of selective military service in modern conditions
Authors: Nikolić Nebojša
Published: January 2022

New security challenges in the second decade of the twenty-first century and their materialization through various forms of hybrid warfare have had an impact on the emergence of ideas of strengthening state capacities for defence and security. One of these ideas is related to the manning of the armed forces. The paper presents models of selective military service that are successfully implemented in several European countries, which have similar demographic potential as Serbia. The main characteristic of these models of selective recruitment is the selection of only those persons who are interested in completing their military service voluntarily. Thus, the high motivation of future soldiers has been provided, and the consequences that would result from forcing those who do not want to do their military service have been forestalled. Models of manning in several neutral European countries and Israel have also been presented in order to gain a comparative insight. Foreign experiences have been summarised in the form of guidelines for a possible concept of a model of selective military service, which would meet the existing limitations and improve opportunities for a greater number of motivated persons, given the problematic possibility of mechanical reintroduction of the old model of conscription. The objective of this paper is to consider the possibilities of implementing foreign experiences in the process of creating an optimal solution, while respecting limiting factors in order to provide a highly motivated human factor for manning the armed forces.
The attitude towards the critical infrastructure in the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Milosavljević Branislav , Vučinić Dragan
Published: January 2022

National policies, strategies, doctrines and laws have a different approach to the issue of critical infrastructure. The adequately designed infrastructure is the main driving force of national prosperity and a precondition for economic expansion and future growth. On the other hand, everyday life in modern times is based, among other things, on highly developed infrastructure, especially in the fields of management and control of energy supply, provision of drinking water sources, transport, maintenance of information technology systems, telecommunications, etc. The paper considers the issue of critical infrastructure protection on the example of the Republic of Serbia. In this regard, critical infrastructure will be considered through changes in the strategic and normative framework. Historically, the subject area has long been directly related to the defence needs of the state. This is partly expected having in mind that the phrase critical infrastructure is taken from military terminology to denote everything necessary for the functioning of military system during military conflicts, when resources are directed to the preservation of one's own facilities, systems and networks, and also their disabling on the enemy side. However, in modern times, critical infrastructure has gained much broader meaning and significance for the functioning of the state and society as a whole.

Published: January 2022

Great importance is given to human resource management and teamwork because new business concepts respect the importance and role of teamwork as one of the significant segments of the success of an organization. The subject of research in this paper is teamwork in the organizational units of the Ministry of Interior, in accordance with the fact that it provides the possibility of higher productivity and quality. One main and five auxiliary hypotheses have been formulated. The main hypothesis is: There are differences in the attitudes of employees about teamwork in the observed organizations depending on their academic qualifications, but in general all employees have positive attitudes about teamwork. The objective of the research is to determine the attitudes of employees about teamwork in relation to their academic qualifications. Within this paper, the research has been performed by using several methods: the method of analysis and synthesis, survey method (survey technique using a questionnaire in order to evaluate the hypotheses that have been formulated) and statistical method. The research sample included 90 employees in the organizational units of the City of Belgrade Police Directorate of the General Police Directorate, namely the Police Office for Railway Safety and the Police Office of the Police Station Savski venac. On the basis of the analyzed results, it can be concluded that the main hypothesis formulated at the beginning of the research according to which there are differences in the attitudes of employees about teamwork in the observed organizational units depending on their academic qualifications has been confirmed, but that generally all employees have positive attitudes about teamw.
The models of subordination in the mechanized section on M-80A infantry fighting vehicle
Authors: Žnidaršič Vinko , Veličković Branko , Mutavdžić Dobrivoje
Published: January 2022

The organization of command in the mechanized section on M80A infantry fighting vehicle is defined by the regulations and textbooks of mechanized units. The problem that is not covered in the regulations is the organization of subordination of soldiers of the mounted crew when performing tasks outside the vehicle. The regulations stipulate in principle that command is executed by single seniority and subordination, but that the mechanized section commanders organize their crews in the way they think is appropriate, in accordance with a certain mission and tasks. The decision-making on transfering commanding competencies and organization of subordinates in the chain of subordination within the mechanized section is a dilemma even for experienced commanders of mechanized units because this is defined by general principles of performing activities, whereby it is not known where the riflemen, sniper and machine gunners should be when they are outside the fighting vehicle. During preparation and execution of activities, the mechanized section commander should adapt the model of subordination in relation to task, space, time and other factors that occur in combat operations. Thus, it can happen that the commander or deputy commander divides the mounted part of the mechanized section into several smaller units (groups, teams) in order to perform some task. The research performed by the analysis of content in regulations and textbooks, observing the way of work during the performance of activities, anticipating possible situations and discovering examples of good practice of the mechanized section commanders, the models presented in this paper have been formed. After studying literature and questioning professional military personnel, the results of the research are the models of subordination in the mechanized section when the mounted part of the section is outside the vehicle. The analyzed models are divided into groups of models, where the dismounted part of the section is divided into: 1) basic model, 2) two groups and 3) three groups.
¿Qué factores psicosociales explican la integración comunitaria de los inmigrantes? Una experiencia entre lo digital y lo presencial
Authors: Moscato Gianluigi
Published: January 2022

La integración social y comunitaria de los extranjeros sigue siendo un tema actual, especialmente en los últimos años donde la polarización social y política podría influir notablemente sobre el proceso de integración de los alóctonos. En la presente investigación, primero, se hace un paralelismo entre la integración comunitaria y el sentido de comunidad. Para evidenciar que el análisis del sentido de comunidad puede ser un instrumento práctico para medir el nivel de integración comunitaria de los extranjeros. En un segundo momento analizamos determinados factores psicosociales (identificación cultural, apoyo social, participación comunitaria y discriminación percibida) y sociodemográficas, con dos tipos de muestras (presencial y online) para determinar su capacidad predictora sobre la integración comunitaria. Anticipando que el sistema de apoyo social, la identificación con la cultura dominante y la participación social son los factores que mayormente explican el sentido de comunidad de los extranjeros. Finalmente, se quiere determinar la fiabilidad interna de las escalas utilizadas con ambas muestras y reflexionar sobre las posibles limitaciones de la investigación.

Objetivo: Este estudio buscó examinar el efecto mediador de la satisfacción laboral en la relación entre la coordinación relacional y las intenciones de rotación. Metodología/enfoque: Se ha utilizado el modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para analizar los datos de una encuesta de 262 empleados del sector bancario. La capacidad del modelo teórico de este estudio se demostró en una simulación de Monte Carlo que creó un conjunto de datos simulados donde se establecieron los verdaderos efectos. Resultados: Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que la coordinación relacional afecta negativamente las intenciones de rotación, y la satisfacción laboral media en esta relación. Los resultados de la simulación indican una fluctuación en los coeficientes para diferentes correlaciones y tamaños de muestra. Los valores de los coeficientes se suavizan para todos los niveles de correlaciones, a medida que aumenta el tamaño de la muestra. Limitaciones: Esta investigación ha utilizado un diseño transversal que limita su capacidad para determinar las verdaderas relaciones causales. La viabilidad externa de los resultados puede ser limitada debido a la selección de la muestra del sector bancario. Aunque los resultados empíricos apoyan nuestro modelo teórico, otras descripciones de estos resultados deben probarse. Implicaciones prácticas: Los gerentes pueden reducir las intenciones de rotación de los empleados al promover la coordinación relacional entre sus empleados. Implicaciones sociales: La reducción de las intenciones de rotación puede resultar en una reducción de la rotación real, lo que proporciona estabilidad a las organizaciones y a las vidas de los empleados individuales. Puede reducir el descontento social y la inestabilidad. Originalidad/valor: Ninguna investigación previa ha probado empíricamente la relación entre la coordinación relacional y las intenciones de rotación. Además, esta investigación es la primera en probar la mediación entre la relación mencionada anteriormente. También proporciona una mayor generalización del modelo teórico mediante el uso de la simulación de Monte Carlo.

Authors: García Martín Jorge , Echegaray Lázaro
Published: January 2022

Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio es definir las competencias que actualmente aparecen en las ofertas de empleo del mercado de gran consumo, destinadas a graduados en marketing, como respuesta de la empresa a los cambios que la globalización y el desarrollo tecnológico vienen produciendo en los mercados. Metodología: Esta investigación se ha abordado desde una metodología mixta. La primera fase se ha basado en el rastreo de fuentes documentales con técnica Desk Research en los dos portales de empleo con más notoriedad en España: Infoempleo e Infojobs. El siguiente paso ha sido el análisis de contenido y la cuantificación de cada uno de los requisitos aparecidos en las ofertas de empleo analizadas. Resultados: Los resultados hablan de la importancia del uso de las Redes Sociales en lo referente a las competencias digitales, de la relevancia del idioma inglés dentro de las metahabilidades, y del dominio de los planes de marketing en relación a los requisitos propios de los fundamentos del marketing. En lo que tiene que ver con la concordancia experiencia-salario, se ha observado una alta relación entre estas dos variables. Limitaciones: En tanto que la investigación se ha centrado en el mercado B2C, las conclusiones no son aplicables directamente a otros mercados. Implicaciones prácticas: El valor de la investigación reside en la importancia que para la formación universitaria tiene conocer las últimas competencias exigidas en el mercado, al objeto de adaptar sus planes de estudio.
Lo vostre humil fill, qui us desiga molt veure. Cartas del apotecario rosellonés Joan Pereta desde Valencia a su padre en Perpiñán (1474-1479)
Authors: Almenar Fernández Luis
Published: January 2022

Resumen: En este artículo se transcriben y estudian dos cartas personales, escritas por el apotecario Joan Pereta en la ciudad de Valencia en 1474 y 1479, y enviadas a su padre, el notario Jaume Pereta, a la villa de Perpiñán. Las misivas aportan información relevante para reconstruir cómo los flujos de información circulaban a finales de la Baja Edad Media en el espacio del Mediterráneo noroccidental, así como para indagar en la propia historia personal y familiar de Joan y Jaume Pereta. El lenguaje con el que se escribieron las cartas permite también explorar aspectos de mentalidad, como el fervor religioso de Joan y la relación de profundo respeto hacia su padre.Palabras claves: correspondencia, cartas, información, rutas, mentalidades.Abstract: In this article two personal letters are transcribed and studied. These were written by the apothecary Joan Pereta in the city of Valencia in 1474 and 1479, being sent to his father, the notary Jaume Pereta, to the town of Perpignan. The letters provide relevant information to reconstruct how information flows circulated at the end of the Late Middle Ages in the northwestern Mediterranean, as well as to investigate the personal and family history of Joan and Jaume Pereta. The language with which the letters were written also allows us to explore aspects of mentality, such as Joan’s religious fervor and the relation of profound respect towards his father.Keywords: correspondence, letters, information, routes, mentalities.
