Green Purchase Behavior: The Effectiveness of Sociodemographic Variables for Explaining Green Purchases in Emerging Market
Authors: Witek Lucyna , Kuźniar Wiesława
Published: December 2020

Environmental degradation is a serious problem in modern civilization as it causes changes in consumer behavior towards ecologically responsible purchasing. In order to understand the green product purchasing decision process, an extensive literature review on green purchasing behavior was conducted. The current study is an exploratory research and the purpose of this paper was to investigate how sociodemographic factors explain consumers’ green purchase behavior. The differences between gender, age, education level, personal financial situation, and the number of children in the family were examined. To achieve the goal, we conducted a survey among 650 Polish consumers. Our findings suggest that all of the above-mentioned sociodemographic variables have an impact on awareness and purchasing behavior towards green products. Moreover, the results show that female consumers have more positive attitudes towards purchasing green products, than male consumers. Young consumers are skeptical about green products. A positive relationship was established between education and the acknowledgement of the dominance of one’s own needs over the needs of the environment. The better the personal financial situation, the more people expressed their intention to buy green products. The paper shows the implications for marketing. In addition, our exploratory research shows future research directions based on findings from the point of view of green consumer behavior. The study is an in-depth analysis of the factors determining green purchasing behavior. It contributes to the current literature by strengthening the existing knowledge about the factors influencing green purchase behavior in developing countries.
Role of Advanced Producer Services Shaping Globalization Processes in a Post-Industrial Region: The Case of the Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolis
Authors: Zuzańska-Żyśko Elżbieta
Published: December 2020

The paper discusses the emergence of a new regional network of connectivities in the area of advanced producer services in a formerly industrial region in southern Poland. Changes in the region’s job market and the influx of foreign firm centers suggest the presence of globalization processes in the economy. Advanced producer service companies tend to cluster around the regional capital of Katowice and use the city as a gateway to other parts of the studied region. This process leads to the replacement of jobs characterized by lower qualifications with jobs requiring more advanced knowledge, new technologies, and a variety of forms of innovation. International economic networks play an increasingly large role in the entrenchment of economic globalization in the Górnośląsko-Zagłebiowska Metropolis, which has helped the city join other Polish cities in the classification of the World Cities Research Network.

Published: December 2020

Fertilization and grazing are two common anthropogenic disturbances that can lead to unprecedented changes in biodiversity and ecological stability of grassland ecosystems. A few studies, however, have explored the effects of fertilization and grazing on community stability and the underlying mechanisms. We conducted a six-year field experiment to assess the influence of nitrogen (N) fertilization and grazing on the community stability in a long-term enclosure and grazing grassland ecosystems on the Loess Plateau. A structural equation modeling method was used to evaluate how fertilization and grazing altered community stability. Our results indicated that the community stability decreased in the enclosure and grazing grassland ecosystems with the addition of N. The community stability began to decline significantly at 4.68 and 9.36 N g m−2 year−1 for the grazing and enclosure grassland ecosystems, respectively. We also found that the addition of N reduced the community stability through decreasing species richness, but a long-term enclosure can alleviate its negative effect. Overall, species diversity can be a useful predictor of the stability of ecosystems confronted with disturbances. Also, our results showed that long-term enclosure was an effective grassland management practice to ensure community stability on the Loess Plateau of China.
Analysis of Human Activity Impact on Flash Floods in China from 1950 to 2015
Authors: Liu Yesen , Huang Yaohuan , Wan Jinhong , Yang Zhenshan , Zhang Xiaolei
Published: December 2020

An early warning of a flash flood is essential to prevent the general public from the hazardous flooding events, however, the rapid variation of human activities has led to the uncertainty of risk in prone areas. The lack of a systematic record of flash flood events introduces challenges to flash flood-related research. Herein, we map spatial and temporal variations in flash floods in China from 1950 to 2015 and establish a general ordered logit model in a geographic information environment to estimate the association between the occurrence of flash flood events and natural conditions and the variation of human activities at the watershed level. The results showed that precipitation is an important cause of flash flooding, and demonstrate that anthropogenic intervention (heavy rainfall, density of villages, and vegetation cover) in the environment affect the likelihood of flash floods. We found that the likelihood of flash floods in China may increase with the air quality worsening and that the occurrence of flash floods is strongly correlated with vegetation cover. Our findings suggest a need for further investigation of the link between air quality and flash flooding in flood-prone areas.

Design and Development of Sheet-Metal Elbows Using Programming with Visual Basic for Applications in CATIA
Authors: Rojas-Sola José Ignacio , del Río-Cidoncha Gloria , Ortíz-Marín Rafael , López-Pedregal José María
Published: December 2020

This article introduces an innovative application of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) (Visual Basic macro language) developed in CATIA (Computer-Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Application), computer-aided manufacturing and engineering design software. Said application enables the three-dimensional (3D) representation and development to be obtained on a plane of the surfaces of cylindrical and conical elbows utilised to join two conduits, since CATIA lacks tools for the design of elements of metal fabrication. The application permits the geometric and dimensional parameters necessary for the creation and development of the analysed elbows to be introduced via a keyboard. Once these values have been entered and it has been verified that the design of the elbow is possible, then the application is programmed within the CATIA “Wireframe and Surface Design” module to obtain the 3D representation of said elbows, and the development of their surface is projected in the CATIA “Drafting” module. Consequently, the incorporation of this tool into CATIA software could increase technical-design productivity by eliminating certain intermediate operations, such as symmetry, and through improving the geometry training of less skilled users.
Multithreading Parallel Robust Approach for the VRPTW with Uncertain Service and Travel Times
Authors: Nasri Mehdi , Hafidi Imad , Metrane Abdelmoutalib
Published: December 2020

The objective of this paper is to consider the vehicle routing problem with time windows under two uncertainties: service and travel times. We introduce new resolution approaches for the robust problem and an efficient parallel procedure for the generation of all possible scenarios. The best robust solution of each scenario can be achieved by using a parallel adaptive large neighborhood search metaheuristic. Through our analysis, we expect to find the best compromise between the reduced running time and a best good solution, which leads to four distinct combinations of parallel/sequential approaches. The computational experiments are performed and tested on Solomon’s benchmark and large randomly generated instances. Furthermore, our results can be protected against delay in service time in a reasonable running time especially for large instances.

Published: December 2020

Self-supervised learning has gained popularity because of its ability to avoid the cost of annotating large-scale datasets. It is capable of adopting self-defined pseudolabels as supervision and use the learned representations for several downstream tasks. Specifically, contrastive learning has recently become a dominant component in self-supervised learning for computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and other domains. It aims at embedding augmented versions of the same sample close to each other while trying to push away embeddings from different samples. This paper provides an extensive review of self-supervised methods that follow the contrastive approach. The work explains commonly used pretext tasks in a contrastive learning setup, followed by different architectures that have been proposed so far. Next, we present a performance comparison of different methods for multiple downstream tasks such as image classification, object detection, and action recognition. Finally, we conclude with the limitations of the current methods and the need for further techniques and future directions to make meaningful progress.

Published: December 2020

Neutralizing antibodies are a major correlate of protection for many viruses including the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Thus, vaccine candidates should potently induce neutralizing antibodies to render effective protection from infection. A variety of in vitro assays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies has been described. However, validation of the different assays against each other is important to allow comparison of different studies. Here, we compared four different SARS-CoV-2 neutralization assays using the same set of patient samples. Two assays used replication competent SARS-CoV-2, a focus forming assay and a TCID50-based assay, while the other two assays used replication defective lentiviral or vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-based particles pseudotyped with SARS-CoV-2 spike. All assays were robust and produced highly reproducible neutralization titers. Titers of neutralizing antibodies correlated well between the different assays and with the titers of SARS-CoV-2 S-protein binding antibodies detected in an ELISA. Our study showed that commonly used SARS-CoV-2 neutralization assays are robust and that results obtained with different assays are comparable.

Published: December 2020

Background: An epidemiological study of Streptococcus pneumoniae nasopharyngeal carriage in healthy children was carried out five years after the introduction of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). Objectives: Study the impact of pediatric vaccination with PCV13, and other associated epidemiological factors on the status of nasopharyngeal carriage, the circulating pneumococcal serotypes, and the antibiotic susceptibility to more frequently used antibiotics. Methods: A multi-center study was carried out in Primary Health Care, which included 1821 healthy children aged 1 to 4 years old. All isolates were sent to the Spanish Pneumococcal Reference Laboratory for serotyping and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Results: At least one dose of PCV13 had been received by 71.9% of children and carriage pneumococcal prevalence was 19.7%. The proportion of PCV13 serotypes was low (14.4%), with an observed predominance of non-vaccine serotypes, 23B, 11A, 10A, 35B/F, and 23A were the five most frequent. A high rate of resistance to penicillin, erythromycin, and trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole was found. Conclusions: A low proportion of PCV13 serotypes were detected, confirming the impact of pediatric vaccination for reducing the serotypes vaccine carriage. High resistance rates to clinically important antibiotics were observed.
Legacy Phosphorus in Lake Okeechobee (Florida, USA) Sediments: A Review and New Perspective
Authors: Missimer Thomas M. , Thomas Serge , Rosen Barry H.
Published: December 2020

Lake Okeechobee is one of the largest freshwater lakes in the United States. As a eutrophic lake, it has frequent algal blooms composed predominantly of the cyanobacterium genus Microcystis. Many of the algal blooms are associated with the resuspension of a thixotropic benthic mud containing legacy nutrients. Since Lake Okeechobee has an area of 1732 km2 (40–50 km radius) and a mean depth of only 2.7 m, there is sufficient fetch and shallow water depth to allow frequent wind, wave, and current generated events, which cause sediment resuspension. Three types of mud exist in the lake including an immobile dark-colored, consolidated mud, a brownish-colored mud, which is poorly consolidated and mobile, and a dark-colored thixotropic, highly mobile mud that is a mixture of organic matter and clay-sized minerals. Altogether, these muds contain an estimated 4.6 × 106 kg of total phosphorus and commensurate high amounts of labile nitrogen. The thixotropic mud covers most of the lakebed and contains the suitable nutrient ratios to trigger algal blooms. A bioassay analysis of the thixotropic mud compared to the consolidated mud showed that it produced up to 50% more nutrient mass compared to the consolidated mud. The thixotropic mud does not consolidate, thus remains mobile. The mobility is maintained by the dynamics of the algal blooms and bacterial decay of extracellular secretions (transparent exopolymer particles) that bind sediment, transfer it to the bottom, and undergo bacterial digestion causing gas emissions, thus maintaining the organic/sediment matrix in suspension. Despite major efforts to control external nutrient loading into the lake, the high frequency of algal blooms will continue until the muds bearing legacy nutrients are removed from the lake.

Millennial generation or generation Y is "the generation born in 1980 to 1995" (Kemenppa, 2018: 15) with an estimated age of 23 years to 38 years. Currently, the workforce almost dominated by the millennial workforce. Millennials are very familiar with the use of electronic-based information technology, so this generation is considered an asset in the company because of the ability to use information technology. The facts that are extracted from this research are regarding the ability to use technology, the ease of getting a job, the level of loyalty and mastery of competence in the field of work. The approach used is a qualitative approach to determine the assessment of millennial workforce in the hospitality sector. Based on the results of the analysis, it is known that the ability to use technology makes it easy for millineal workers to get new jobs with poor loyalty with good competency skills resulting in high employee turnover in companies in the field of hospitality.

Authors: Purnomo Budi
Published: December 2020

This study attempts to investigate the strategies to interpret Javanese cultural terms used by tourist guides at Kasunanan Palace of Surakarta. The study is intended to be a descriptive and qualitative nature. The data were collected by joining ten guided group tours in Kasunanan Palace and recording the tourist guides’ interpretation of Javanese cultural terms to tourists. To know the types of interpretation strategies, the Javanese cultural terms and their English interpretation were analyzed by Newmark’s strategies for dealing with a cultural gap (1998a). The research findings show that the strategies used by the tourist guides to interpret Javanese cultural terms from the most to the least are: (1) descriptive and functional equivalent, (2) cultural equivalent, (3) naturalization, (4)   neutralization and (5) compensation. The findings imply that the interpretation strategies used by the tourist guides are essential to obtain interpretation products that have equivalence to the Javanese cultural terms to be preserved in this millennial era.

La buena educación. Virginia Woolf y Simone de Beauvoir
Authors: Amícola José
Published: December 2020

Las siguientes reflexiones acerca de los meandros del género literario que a partir de la obra de Goethe llamamos Bildungsroman se inician con una disquisición acerca de las traducciones posibles de este rótulo. En mi opinión, la corriente etiqueta de “novela de aprendizaje” viene de su formulación francesa, pues como en muchos otros conceptos de la cultura alemana o rusa ha sido Francia siempre la intermediaria. En honor a la verdad, dado que es el proceso de enseñanza el que se enfatiza en las aventuras del personaje Wilhelm Meister, podría pensarse que la traducción castellana más ajustada podría ser la de “novela de educación” o “novela de formación”. Por otro lado, el hecho de que el héroe de este género haya sido siempre un varón lleva a pensar cuál habrá sido la estratagema femenina para sortear ese escollo de género (esta vez sexual). Para ejemplificar esta “treta del débil” echo mano aquí a una novela temprana de Virginia Woolf (Fin de viaje) y al segundo tomo de la autobiografía de Simone de Beauvoir titulado La plenitud de la vida.
“Quiero romper la humanidad en dos partes y vivir en el vacío que queda en el medio” Una lectura torcida de la pentalogía “Medea” de Heiner Müller
Authors: Rubino Atilio , Saxe Facundo
Published: December 2020

Este trabajo aborda la figura mítica de Medea en la obra del dramaturgo Heiner Müller en el marco de la reconfiguración de distintos mitos de la Antigüedad clásica. Leemos la aparición de Medea en la obra de Müller como parte de una pentalogía, ya que a la obra más conocida, el tríptico Verkommenes Ufer Medeamaterial Landschaft mit Argonauten (1982), se le suman dos fragmentos anteriores, “Medeakommentar” (1972) y “Medeaspiel” (1974). La figura de Medea (así como de otras mujeres de la tradición clásica) fue resignificada durante los setenta para revisar desde posturas feministas el lugar de la mujer en la sociedad patriarcal. Nos interesa analizar estas apariciones en el marco de un teatro postdramático. Asimismo, la reconfiguración del mito de Medea por parte de Müller puede ser pensada en el marco de una serie relecturas/reescrituras que desde perspectivas extemporáneas recuperan voces silenciadas, invisibilizadas o exterminadas por el canon heteropatriarcal.

Authors: Pluzhnikov A.
Published: December 2020

It is becoming increasingly important to ensure the protection of personal information contained in information systems from unauthorized access and other harmful influences. Protection against threats to information systems is an integral part of the main activities of federal, regional and local authorities aimed at increasing the efficiency of their activities. The paper analyzes the implementation of information systems in the management process of regional and local government authorities using the example of the Voronezh region. It is concluded that the personal data of subjects stored in the information systems of public authorities are subject to internal security threats, and therefore should be constantly monitored in order to assess potential harm. The main methods that are currently used to conduct such an assessment are considered and the factors that prevent their effective use in relation to information systems of personal data of public authorities are highlighted. It is concluded that it is necessary to adapt the existing systems for analyzing and assessing the damage of personal data information systems of state authorities, taking into account all areas of their activities that are subject to damage from the impact of threats in accordance with the requirements of the current legislation of the Russian Federation.

Authors: ÜÇÜNCÜ Kemal , AYDIN Aytaç
Published: December 2020

The negative effects of intensive energy consumption in timber drying on costs and environmental pollution have strengthened the tendency to utilize solar energy in recent years. Although drying of timber in flat collector solar furnaces takes more time than conventional drying, energy costs are low and there are no negative environmental effects. In this study, the selection of building materials and design type to be used in the design of solar furnaces was evaluated in terms of thermal properties. Materials with different thermal capacities create different thermal properties in different designs. Therefore, it is possible to control the course of the temperature distribution in the solar timber drying oven throughout the day with the choice of different building materials and design forms.
Emissions from Drying in the Wood Based Board Industry
Authors: BİLGİN Uğur , ÇOLAKOĞLU Gürsel , ÇOLAK Semra
Published: December 2020

Abstract: The reason why wood-based boards are preferred in many areas of use, especially in furniture, is that they can be produced in desired properties and are cheap. In addition, wood defects such as different work in three dimensions, differences in resistance values, internal stresses and physical changes seen in solid wood are not encountered in wood-based boards. Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from wood-based panels occur from the raw materials of the boards and during production stages such as gluing, storage, pressing and drying. Most of the VOCs from wood raw materials are formed during the drying process. VOCs contribute to the formation of nitrogen oxides and photo-oxidants in the presence of sunlight. Photo-oxidants are harmful to humans as they irritate the respiratory and sensitive parts of the lungs. It also disrupts photosynthesis and damages forests and crops. The aim of this study is to evaluate the factors affecting the emissions that occur during the drying process in wood-based boards and the processes applied to reduce the emission.

K-NN Method for Review Analys Product Accounting Software
Authors: Sahara Sucitra , Permana Rizqi Agung
Published: December 2020

Many companies have not implemented accounting software in financial management. Even though the current era of technology is increasingly updated and developing, more and more superior products are being issued by software development companies, especially in accounting software. There are not a few software products whose quality is still below standard or incomplete with features and facilities. So that researchers concentrate on companies or individual businesses that still use manual methods in processing their finances by helping and making it easier to choose the software product they will choose. Researchers first carry out the accounting software product selection stage based on an opinion or opinion of the public who have bought and used the software they choose and they pour this opinion into online media such as comments on a product selling site. Thousands of comments will be processed and grouped into data sets and this time the researcher processes the data classification using the k-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) algorithm. By using the K-NN method, it is expected to be able to produce the expected accuracy value so that the data set processing is stronger and more valid. It turns out that after applying the data accuracy value obtained by 80.50%, it can be concluded that the K-NN method is very suitable for the concept of text mining this time and for selecting the data set in the form of text.

Результати хірургічного лікування сонних артерій у хворих із цукровим діабетом
Authors: Пуляєва І.С.
Published: December 2020

Вивчено особливості хірургічного лікування хворих із каротидними стенозами на тлі цукрового діабету. У відділенні гострих захворювань судин ДУ «Інститут загальної та невідкладної хірургії ім. В.Т. Зайцева НАМН України» з 2015 по 2019 рік виконано 299 каротидних ендартеректомій (у 245 чоловіків і 54 жінок). Пацієнтів було розподілено на дві групи (із цукровим діабетом і без нього). Цукровий діабет відмічено в 76 пацієнтів другої групи. Достовірних відмінностей значущих післяопераційних ускладнень у хворих із діабетом і без нього немає, у осіб із діабетом відмічено один інсульт у післяопераційному періоді. При п’ятирічному спостереженні виражені рестенози (більше 50 %) мали місце у 14 пацієнтів із цукровим діабетом та у 46 хворих без діабету. За цукрового діабету більш виражено ураження внутрішньої сонної артерії, яке проявляється у збільшенні довжини бляшки і вираженому кальцинозі, що потребує виконання прямої ендартеректомії зі вшиванням латки. Показано, що у хворих із цукровим діабетом за даними комп’ютерної томографії визначаються мультифокальні інтракраніальні стенози, що збільшує ризики розвитку інсультів, а особливість ураження ендотелію призводить до збільшення частоти рестенозів.
Resistance Through Song
Authors: Porter Gerald
Published: December 2020

Concentrating primarily on the so-called ‘Navvies,’ this paper interprets the songs of metal workers among casual labourers in nineteenth and twentieth century Britain as an expression of shared values and aspirations. The term ‘Navigators’ or ‘Navvies’ was first used of Irish refugees of Celtic origin, though some were of ‘English settlement’ origin, who came to Scotland and England in the 19th century to take part in manual work. This study focuses first on songs which concentrated on working conditions, and later discusses songs (which have usually been neglected) in which the workplace features more than one singer. The last part of the study examines a Scottish demonstration and march to London in the 1980s when metal workers resisted the planned closure of their rolling mill with a ‘sung’ march to London that echoes the resistance of the early Navvies and others. In an article in Imagined States (2001), written in collaboration with the present writer, Reimund Kvideland made a study of ‘rallar(e)’ (navvies) in Norway and Sweden between 1880 and 1930. He wrote, ‘the railway navvies constructed a new genre of narrative song and employed it to give voice to a unique and positive occupational worldview […] This occupational group created a compensatory and imagined state in which inverted and opposing values prevailed.’ This process is what I aim to investigate in relation to the material described above.
Names on Alsatian Gravestones as Mirrors of Politics and Identities
Authors: Vajta Katharina
Published: December 2020

This study focuses on personal names on gravestones in Alsace, a region in the east of France that has shifted several times between France and Germany, especially between 1871 and 1945. These shifts are observable in the cemeteries, not least regarding the personal names inscribed in the epitaphs, which usually exhibit either a French or a German variant of the first name, whereas family names traditionally are of German origin. The choice of a first name was expected to follow the language of the ruler, but this was not always the case and we can observe numerous transgressive choices of first names. Indeed, the simultaneous occurrence of German and French first names shows how naming was subject to different traditions and ideologies. Today, German first names have become rare, which mirrors the region’s ongoing, larger language shift to French. More recently, the frequency of at once non-German and non-French names echoes an increasing mobility in Alsatian society.

Authors: YILMAZ Sefer , YALÇIN Azmi , TÜRK Murat
Published: December 2020

This study concentrated on excessive smartphone use at work and examined its effects on job performance and work attitudes based on a sample of 486 participants from two distinct companies, IT and construction, located in Ankara. In the analysis, smartphone addiction and daily duration of smartphone usage at work were found to be negatively associated with job performance. Meaningful differences were detected in terms of both gender and industry type. Female participants were found to have more daily smartphone use at work than male participants. Those from IT company were also observed to have more daily duration of smartphone use at work than that of construction company. Job satisfaction and organizational commitment had positively associated with each other and with job productivity. However, no meaningful relationship was detected between smartphone addiction and both job satisfaction and organizational commitment. It is concluded that, the level of excessive smartphone use should be determined considering both gender and industry type in order to develop a balanced smartphone use arrangement, which would not harm the productivity at work.

Published: December 2020

El objetivo fue analizar la incidencia de la pedagogía del ciberespacio durante la transición de un cambio de una educación en modalidad presencial a una educación en modalidad virtual en donde el docente es el guía y mediador para la incorporación de las TIC en los espacios virtuales de aprendizaje. La metodologia utilizada fue de carácter no experimental con un enfoque metodologico mixto y de cohorte transversal. Los docentes además de adquirir y adaptar metodologías activas en la enseñanza para el nuevo entorno de aprendizaje tienen que desarrollar habilidades y destrezas digitales que ayuden a incentivar a sus estudiantes a dar un buen uso a la tecnología no solo dentro y fuera de las clases. El personal docente igual que sus estudiantes deben aprender de competencias digitales, pero aún más orientarlas de mejor manera a las necesidades que plantea esta nueva sociedad del conocimiento.

Authors: Calderón-Jiménez Laura Elizabeth , García-Herrera Darwin Gabriel , Cárdenas-Cordero Nancy Marcela , Erazo-Álvarez Juan Carlos
Published: December 2020

El objetivo de la investigación fue diseñar una propuesta de metodología innovadora “Flipped Classroom o aula invertida” en el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje de la lectura con el fin de mejorar la comprensión lectora de los estudiantes entre los 11 y 12 años de la escuela de educación básica Joel Monroy de la ciudad de Cuenca - Ecuador. Se desarrolló a través de una investigación descriptiva transversal no experimental, con una muestra aleatoria estratificada por edad. La metodologìa flipped classroom pretende generar interès y gusto por las clases, no obstante cabe indicar que se debe aplicar siguiendo un proceso adecuado; no se trata de que el docente se deslinde del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje; mas bien el estudiante aprende a su propio ritmo logrando ser responsable con las tareas designadas por el docente.

Authors: González-Crespo Melissa Katherine , García-Herrera Darwin Gabriel , Erazo-Álvarez Cristian Andrés , Erazo-Álvarez Juan Carlos
Published: December 2020

El objetivo fue analizar la perspectiva de los padres de familia cómo fue la transición de la educación presencial a la virtual mediante comunidades de aprendizaje en red, para generar conocimiento didáctico en apoyo al docente. De tipo descriptiva correlacional de Pearson. El valor de significancia bilateral para el Chi cuadrado fue de 0,00. Tal valor es menor a 0,05; por ello se asume la hipótesis afirmativa (H1) que establece que las dos variables analizadas están asociadas. Durante el cambio del aprendizaje presencial al virtual se reconoció que las herramientas tecnológicas desempeñaron un rol determinante como el principal recurso empleado para dar continuidad al aprendizaje. De la misma manera, fue beneficioso emplear las plataformas digitales, aplicaciones y programas disponibles en la web para generar recursos didácticos innovadores que convirtieron al aprendizaje en un proceso más dinámico y llamativo para los educandos.

Politizacija kulturnega polja na Slovenskem v obdobju prve Jugoslavije
Authors: Mithans Gašper
Published: December 2020

V članku je predstavljena politizacija književnosti in filmografije na Slovenskem v času Kraljevine SHS/Jugoslavije s poudarkom na analizi kulturnih revij in sporih okoli avtonomije avtorjev in urednikov. Ti konflikti so v 30. letih 20. stoletja skoraj po istem modelu povzročili delitve in/ali večja nesoglasja med vsemi tremi večjimi političnimi tabori in v njih: katoliškem, liberalnem in marksističnem. Med notranjimi obračuni z vključitvijo širše javnosti izstopa prelom med katoliško desnico in levico prav na kulturnem polju ob objavi Kocbekove razprave o španski državljanski vojni v Domu in svetu. S strani večine kulturnikov podcenjena filmografija se je tudi na Slovenskem – čeprav s precejšnjim zamikom v primerjavi z drugimi evropskimi narodi – pred in med drugo svetovno vojno (ter po njej) uporabila kot propagandno sredstvo političnega katolicizma in tudi marksistov oziroma v Osvobodilni fronti.
