Objetivo. Determinar la relación entre el clima laboral y la aparición del síndrome de burnout en un grupo de trabajadores de instituciones de educación superior. Métodos. Investigación de tipo observacional, descriptivo, transversal, con un diseño no experimental, descriptivo y correlacional. Para la recolección de datos se utilizaron dos escalas de Likert: clima laboral de Palma y el inventario de burnout de Maslach. La muestra fue de 51 trabajadores, quiénes fueron seleccionados a través de un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Resultados. Se evidenció un clima laboral favorable en un 49 % (25) y desfavorable en un 3,9 % (2); el 39,2 % (20) percibió el síndrome de burnout como medio y el 29,4 % (15) como bajo. Se comprobó la existencia de una correlación débil negativa entre el clima laboral y el síndrome de burnout (Rho = -0,377; p = 0,006); correlación negativa débil y significativa del clima laboral con la dimensión agotamiento (Rho = -0,331; p = 0,018), correlación nula no significativa con la dimensión despersonalización (Rho = -0,251; p = 0,076) y una correlación débil positiva con la dimensión realización personal (Rho = 0,357; p = 0,010). Conclusión. Se encontró un clima favorable en casi la mitad de los trabajores y síndrome de burnout medio en casi un tercio de ellos. Además, se evidenció una relación significativa y negativa débil entre ambas variables.
Impact of GeoGebra on the Students’ Conceptual
Authors: Kado Kado
Published: November 2021

The paradigm shift from traditional didactic instruction to technology-enriched teaching and learning environments significantly benefits learners. Educational technology can visualize abstract mathematical concepts contextually and graphically and allow learners to actively construct this knowledge. This study aims to ascertain the efficacy of a computer-assisted instruction method using GeoGebra in further developing the concept of the function limit for grade XI students. This study employed a quasi-experiment static-group comparison design with 60 students from Gongzim Ugyen Dorji Central School at Haa in Bhutan. The students were divided into two equal groups. Group ‘A’ used the GeoGebra software, while group ‘B’ used the conventional method to learn the limit of the function. The data was collected through a Conceptual Knowledge Test of Limit Function. In addition, an independent sample t-test was employed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 22.0). This study demonstrated that students who were taught using GeoGebra outperformed those who learned through conventional methods. The results confirmed that GeoGebra software could enhance and significantly improve students’ conceptual understanding of the limit of the function.

Atualmente muitas pesquisas têm se voltado para redução do consumo de energia elétrica bem como pela diminuição do impacto ambiental. O consumo de energia elétrica de sistemas de refrigeração representa cerca de 30% nos setores comercial, residencial e industrial no Brasil. Com base neste cenário o sistema de refrigeração por absorção é uma excelente alternativa por poder utilizar energia térmica de fontes renováveis. O objetivo deste trabalho é modelar e simular a aplicação de um refrigerador em ambientes. Para desenvolvido do modelo foi aplicado o balanço de massa e energia nos componentes (volumes de controle) do sistema, sendo: refrigerador (VC1) com capacidade de 5 TR (60.000 BTU/h), reservatório (VC2), fancolete (VC3) e a sala (VC4) com carga térmica do ambiente é de 28.783,16 BTU/h, no qual operam em regime transiente e equacionados no software Fortran. A simulação do modelo matemático apresentou a temperatura que o ambiente é climatizado como a temperatura dos demais volumes de controle. Dessa forma, pode-se concluir que o modelo desenvolvido pode ser utilizado como ferramenta útil na instalação de refrigeradores, sendo possível prever a capacidade de refrigeração nos ambientes.,

MORTE, VIOLÊNCIA E DEVASTAÇÃO EM O PESO DO PÁSSARO MORTO, DE ALINE BEI
Authors: Santos Jocelaine Oliveira dos
Published: November 2021

O aclamado romance inaugural de Aline Bei, O peso do pássaro morto (2017), nos catapulta, abrupta e poeticamente, para a vida e as perdas de uma mulher dos seus 08 aos 52 anos. Por essa história, penso na escrita feminina (BRANCO, 2004), aportando-me na crítica feminista e de base psicanalítica, para cotejar uma provocação em torno do conceito de Devastação a partir de Lacan (1972/2008) e Marie-Helène Brousse (2004), e existência desvitalizada em Kristeva (1989), para discutir os significantes da morte, do estupro e da violência enquanto marcas constitutivas da personagem central, que tensionam o feminino por meio da destruição e ruína.
PERFORMANCES DO FEMININO: O SUJEITO POÉTICO MÚLTIPLO DE GILKA MACHADO
Authors: Silveira Suzane Morais da Veiga
Published: November 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar a composição de um sujeito poético múltiplo em Gilka Machado, estabelecendo uma reflexão sobre o feminino enquanto resistência e contradiscurso. Como referencial teórico, recorremos aos estudos de Lauretis (1994), Butler (2003) e Massaud Moisés (1984) para examinar essa forma inovadora da poetisa/ mulher se autoinscrever no poema como um sinal da modernidade de sua obra. Como resultado, verificamos que as tensões entre as imagens femininas da tradição cultural e as formas de (auto)representação do sujeito poético feminino gilkiano surgem como confronto e encenação.

Authors: Quadrado Lauro Iglesias
Published: November 2021

Este artigo apresenta um estudo teórico-crítico do arco de desenvolvimento da personagem Tambudzai, protagonista do romance Nervous Conditions (1988), de autoria da escritora zimbabuana Tsitsi Dangarembga. O recorte reunido parte da ideia de subversão, por parte da autora, do romance de formação tradicional com bases em fundações romanescas europeias. Por fim, discutem-se as formas com que Dangarembga narra as tensões de uma história de amadurecimento e o que ela entrega a seu público leitor, em livro que amarra as contradições da experiência literária pós-colonial com a obra de estudiosos como Franco Moretti, Simon Hay e Frantz Fanon.
HISTÓRIA NATURAL E ESCRITA DE VIAGEM: A VOZ DE ELIZABETH CABOT CARY AGASSIZ
Authors: Oliveira Natália Fontes de
Published: November 2021

A história natural e as narrativas de viagens, muito populares entre os séculos XVI e XIX, são marcadas pela exploração científica de culturas e territórios estrangeiros. Muitas vezes marginalizadas pela cultura impressa, viajar pelos mares concedia às mulheres a autoridade para serem detentoras da palavra. Elizabeth Cabot Cary Agassiz foi uma mulher pioneira que viajou ao Brasil com a Expedição Thayer ao lado do marido durantes os anos de 1865 a1866. Após um ano de retorno aos EUA, Elizabeth e o marido publicaram em coautoria a narrativa de viagem, A Journey to Brazil. Apesar da publicação em conjunto, há uma falta de estudos que reconheçam a voz autoral de Elizabeth. Este artigo propõe uma análise da obra A Journey in Brazil para resgatar a contribuição de Elizabeth Cary Cabot Agassiz para a disseminação do conhecimento no século XIX. O referencial teórico, numa abordagem interdisciplinar, baseia-se em estudos sobre a escrita de viagens e a crítica literária feminista. Elizabeth dialoga com as principais vozes masculinas do século e com os discursos da história natural para criar um espaço literário único e inserir sua voz na cultura impressa.

EDITORIAL : How embarrassing can it get? Or: Taxonomy undermined
Authors: Kullander Sven O.
Published: November 2021

Whereas biological systematics and taxonomy are probably about the same kind of scientific enterprise, they were separated by Ernst Mayr in his classical text book, and taxonomy became cemented as a subset of systematics. A little over 40 years have passed since these definitions were expressed, and the work in which they appeared has become obsolete with the appearance of new technology and new philosophy about what are the fundamental aspects of species and higher taxa, especially with the development of phylogenetic systematics and facility of studying factors of inheritance at molecular level. Nevertheless, biological systematics remains the fundamental powerful scientific domain for understanding and expressing biological diversity, and keeps its definitions.

Published: November 2021

The blue sea slug Glaucus atlanticus Forster, 1777 (Gastropoda, Glaucidae) is a nudibranch that occurs in temperate and tropical oceans throughout the world. It is characterized by a silvery white dorsal surface and dark blue ventral surface. The body is elongate measuring up to 3 cm and is flattened. The head is small and blunt with a pair of small oral tentacles near the mouth. The cerata or papillae are wing-like and extend laterally from three distinct pairs of peduncles. The papillae are placed in a single row (uniseriate) and may be 84 in total. A similar looking glaucid nudibranch, Glaucus marginata (Bergh, 1860), is a bluish-brown nudibranch with bluish underside, and differs from Glaucus atlanticus in bearing four pairs of clusters of papillae that are arranged in more than one row (multiseriate) and may be 139 or more in number. The latter species has been included by some authorities under the genus Glaucilla Bergh, 1860. Presently, both species are listed under Glaucus Poli, 1795.

BREEDING ECOLOGY OF THE CRESTED SERPENT EAGLE Spilornis cheela (LATHAM, 1790) (AVES: ACCIPITRIFORMES: ACCIPITRIDAE) IN KOLLI HILLS, TAMIL NADU, INDIA
Authors: Gokula Varadarajan
Published: November 2021

The breeding ecology of the crested serpent eagle (Spilornis cheela), focusing on nest-site selection, food habits, and perch-site preference, was studied in the Kolli Hills of Tamil Nadu, India, from May 2005 to May 2010. Thirty-two active nests were located, with nest-site details collected from 27 nests that were accessible. The crested serpent eagle did not construct new nests, but did renew or alter old nests, mainly in December. Both sexes were involved in the nest renewal activities. The clutch size was one, the mean incubation period was 41.5 days, and the mean fledging period was 64.5 days. Nests were found largely along riverine patches. The results indicate the mature and less disturbed riverine forests with large sized trees are critical for the breeding and conservation of this species. The food habits of the eagle were known from prey items brought into the nest by the adult to feed the chick and prey items fed on by the adult. In total, 173 feeding observations were made and the prey items belonged to 17 species of vertebrates. The crested serpent eagle largely preferred reptiles, which accounted for 74% of their diet, followed by birds, which accounted for 18% of their diet. A total of 1237 perching records were observed. The crested serpent eagle preferred to perch on the outer canopy of the trees found largely in the forest edges.

Historical land-use patterns in relation to conservation strategies for the Riverstone area, the Knuckles massif, Sri Lanka: insights gained from the recovery of anuran communities
Authors: Weerawardhena Senarathge R. , Russell Anthony P.
Published: November 2021

Agriculture on the Indian sub-continent dates back to the fourth and third millennia BC, but only in more recent times did its intensity escalate in a major way. During the colonial era, the British established that the hilly areas of Sri Lanka were suitable for the rearing of coffee (Coffea arabica), for which much of the arable land of the island was extensively cultivated. Later, however, resulting from the severe impact of “Coffee Rust,” caused by the fungus Hemileia vastatrix, the coffee industry of Sri Lanka declined dramatically. Former coffee plantations were abandoned, but are still distinguishable as damaged areas. The truncation of coffee growing on the island created vacant room for another cash-crop.

Manipur is a biodiversity rich state located in the northeastern part of India that borders Myanmar. Situated within the western portion of the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot, the state has a large number of endemic and endangered species. The state is also prone to habitat destruction due to rapid clearing of forest for shifting cultivation, which is a common practice in the hill districts for agriculture and collection of firewood and timber. In the valley districts, the entire forest areas were converted to agricultural fields leaving only a few remaining green spaces, such as the sacred groves locally known as Umang Lais, small hillocks, and Keibul Lamjao National Park.

Yoga Pose Perfection using Deep Learning
Authors: Goyal Satyam , Jain Animesh
Published: November 2021

Abstract

Even with lots of attention and work in the computer vision and artificial intelligence field, human body pose detection is still a daunting task. The application of human pose detection is wide-ranging from health monitoring to public security. This paper focuses on the application in yoga, an art that has been performed for over a millennium. In modern society yoga has become a common method of exercise and there-in arises a demand for instructions on how to do yoga properly. Doing certain yoga postures improperly may lead to injuries and fatigue and hence the presence of a trainer becomes important. As many people don’t have the resources to have a yoga instructor or guide, artificial intelligence can act as a substitute and advise people on their poses. Currently, the research surrounding pose estimation for yoga mainly discusses the classification of yogic poses. In this work, we propose a method, using the Tensorflow MoveNet Thunder model, that allows real-time pose estimation to detect the error in a person's pose, thereby allowing them to correct it.
Machine Learning Application on Prediction of Male Breast Cancer with PLCO Dataset
Authors: Li Juntao , Mani Ganesh
Published: November 2021

The objective of the paper is to explore and examine the applicability of machine learning models on Male Breast Cancer with PLCO dataset. People who are unaware of the potential danger of getting breast cancer like males would not have the medical awareness beforehand for predictions. Therefore, the PLCO trials dataset consisting of ages, prostate status, marriage status etc. from National Institute of Cancer is used in this research for detection. The main purpose of using PLCO test is to discover the potential risk of getting an Male Breast Cancer (MBC) as soon as possible with low cost and easy collection. It is the rarity of MBC that imposes the threat for males who are unaware of the danger. To explore the relatively most suitable models to use for detecting MBC using non-traditional PLCO test dataset, different existing models including decision tree, random forest, DBSCAN, One Class SVM and so on were used to fit the data. Due to its extremity of imbalance, evaluation comes from the combination of standard accuracy and Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristics(AUROC) for the overall accuracy of those models mentioned above. K-means and Logistic Regression models performed best with the AUC score of 0.62 and 0.67. Results suggested that more efficient approaches for common male breast cancer diagnosis or more advanced models and algorithms are needed in further study.

Authors: Perdana Adidtya , Budiman Arief
Published: November 2021

College ranking is the main thing used as a basis to attract prospective new students. Prospective new students will generally look for related information from which universities are the best to choose in the future. In the ranking of universities based on the official page of the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education, the ranking of universities, both public and private, can be a reference for recruiting prospective students. The better the college ranking, the more attractive prospective new students are. To determine the ranking of a university, a decision support system is needed. There are many methods available from the decision support system, but in this study, the author will use the VIKOR method (Visekriterijumsko Kompromisno Rangiranje), which is part of the MCDM (Multi-Criteria Decision Making), as a solution to these problems. The VIKOR method is a multi-criteria optimization method that can be used on fairly complex systems. In this study, the sample data used came from 10 universities in the city of Medan, where the initials of each naming were colleges A to J. From the results of research analysis using the VIKOR method, the ranking results were as follows, where college B got the first rank with the lowest score of 0. Then the second rank was college G and in the third rank was college H with each score of 0.248211396 and 0.304702661. For the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh to tenth ranks, they are sorted from colleges A, I, C, E, F, D, and J.

KIP has a goal, namely to increase access for children aged 6 (six) to 21 (twenty-one years) to obtain educational services until they graduate from high school to support the implementation of Universal Secondary Education / Pilot Compulsory Education 12 (twelve) years, prevent students from the possibility of dropping out of school or not continuing their education due to economic difficulties. The KIP-Kuliah, formerly known as Bidikmisi, is presently in service. They may find it difficult to determine who is a qualified candidate to become a recommendation for KIP-Kuliah recipients who will be presented to the system since many variables and assessments will be passed in determining the prospective KIP-Kuliah recipients. Therefore, from this problem, a system is needed that can quickly and accurately assess the eligibility of KIP-Lecture recipients without having to sort out the files that have been collected one by one. As a result, it is deemed necessary to develop a decision-making system to address the existing issues. The steps of research that will be carried out to create a decision support system will collect criteria and sub-criteria from the assessment and then enter them into the calculation formula or method employed, namely the AHP method.

This research was conducted aiming to overcome the problem of the effectiveness of the delivery of goods by the Cendrawasi Expeditionary Company which at this time still does not use a decision support system approach. For the process of delivering goods to customers to be carried out effectively, a decision support system is designed that functions to determine the priority of goods to be delivered first. This problem is solved by designing a decision support system using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method which serves to help the Cendrawasi Expeditionary company get recommendations for priority delivery of goods. The SAW method is very appropriate to be used as a decision support tool where in this study three alternative choices of goods that must be delivered first were obtained, namely plywood with a preference value of 99,6, mattress with a preference value of 83,55, and PVC pipes with a preference value of 79,35.

Bidang perekonomian yang ada di Kabupaten Klaten, Jawa Tengah mayoritas adalah di sektor pertanian yang mempunyai basis di pedesaan, namun pertumbuhannya bisa dikatakan kurang maksimal atau sangat lamban sekali. Usaha dari pemerintah dalam mengentaskan kemiskinan dilakukan dan dilaksanakan dengan memberikan keputusan yang baik bagi pemerintah yang berada ditingkat paling bawah yang dalam hal ini adalah Pemerintahan Desa(Pem Des). Upaya itu tercetus dalam sebuah badan yang disebut dengan Badan Usaha Milik Desa yang disingkat dengan BUM Desa. BUM Desa sendiri merupakan badan usaha yang seluruh atau sebagian permodalannya berasal dari desa dengan prosentasi minimal 51%. Modal yang disisihkan nantinya bisa dimanfaatkan untuk menciptakan lapangan pekerjaan ataupun meningkatkan pelayanan masyarakat yang baik sehingga diharapkan bisa menembah kesejahteraan warga desa dan tentunya menambah Pendapatan Asli Desa(PAD) seperti dari tujuan didirikannya BUM Desa tersebut. Faktor penyebab kurang berhasilnya program-program tersebut paling dominan adalah daya kreativitas dan inovasi masyarakat desa dalam mengelola dan menjalankan mesin ekonomi di pedesaan yang masih rendah yang dalam hal ini masih sedikit adanya pelatihan atau penyuluhan yang diadakan untuk mendukung majunya BUM Desa sehingga sistem dan mekanisme kelembagaan ekonomi di pedesaan yang awalnya tidak berjalan efektif bisa terlaksana dengan baik. Peran strategis kampus dengan para akademisinya tentu saja bakal menjadi amunisi yang sangat strategis bagi desa-desa di Kabupaten Klaten sehingga bisa menemukan solusi dan rumusan proses yang lebih cepat menuju desa sejahtera, desa yang maju, desa yang mandiri, desa yang bisa berdaya saing dan desa yang bisa memberi masukan PAD. Di sisi lain, wacana ekonomi desa khususnya BUM Desa pasca Undang-Undang Omnibus Law juga bakal mendorong para akademisi mengkaji lebih jauh berbagai potensi ekonomi desa yang hingga hari ini masih butuh banyak dukungan, Indonesia akan menjadi maju dan kuat ekonominya jika dimulai dari desa. Dan desa adalah ikon pembangunan nasional yang mencerminkan pembangunan menyeluruh.

THE STATE OF EXCEPTION IN THE GREEK CONSTITUTION:THE RESILIENCE OF THE GREEK
CONSTITUTION DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: STYLIANIDIS Evripidis
Published: November 2021

The state of exception is provided for in constitutions in response to emergency
situations. The resilience of constitutions is tested in such situations, which are
marked by the concentration of power in the executive and limitations in the
exercise of fundamental rights. Although the Greek Constitution allows for the
declaration of a state of siege, this does not include the case of a public health
crisis. Nevertheless, particular constitutional provisions form an emergency
mechanism, which proved to be effective against the COVID-19 pandemic and
in accordance with democracy and the rule of law.
