FRIENDSHIPS IN THE ADAPTATION OF LATIN AMERICAN IMMIGRANTS
Authors: de Oliveira Mariana Sarro Pereira , Garcia Agnaldo
Published: November 2024

Some studies on friendships among immigrants indicate that these relationships play a relevant role in the complex process of immigrants adapting to their new country. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the role of new friendships with compatriots, natives or other foreigners, in the adaptation of Latin American immigrants to their current country. Forty immigrants participated in the study, divided into four groups: A) 20 Latin Americans living in Brazil; B) three Brazilians living in another Latin American country; C) 12 Brazilians living in Spain; and D) five Brazilians living in Portugal. The instrument used was a questionnaire with open questions, sent and received by e-mail, which produced written reports, which underwent qualitative content analysis. The main results revealed that friends from one's own country or from other countries are essential for adapting to a new country, to make up for the lack of one's culture, increase the sense of belonging, provide emotional support and alleviate loneliness. For most participants, friends do not replace relationships with family members from their home country, but they fill the void left by family. The vast majority of participants felt some social need, such as acceptance, adjustment or adaptation to the new culture. Finally, in parallel with friends, the path most suggested by participants in the four groups for better adaptation and adjustment of emigrants to new cultures was getting closer to or being open to the new culture.

Established during the European First Year Experience (EFYE) Conference (2023), this network has initiated three Targeted Activity Groups (TAGs) which focus on practices that address the challenges and opportunities of working with mature, international, and articulating students. This paper sets out the vision, theory of change and initial outputs of the network since the network’s inception.
STEP UP to University: Continuity and Belonging for Articulation Students
Authors: Horrocks-Birss Rachel
Published: November 2024

Articulation plays a key role in widening access to HE, but tailored support is necessary for a smooth transition. Articulating students often see themselves as lacking key skills and express concern at the significant differences between college and university. This case study explores how the academic skills team at the University of Dundee supports articulation through STEP UP: a credit-bearing module designed for students enrolled on a Social Sciences HNC at Dundee and Angus College who hold a direct entry place for second year Humanities at the university. A key strength of the STEP UP approach is its emphasis on continuity between college and university, welcoming students to the University during their college year. Students journal about their college experiences, create an artefact reflecting on their articulation year, and present a group project on "Becoming, Being, and Belonging" as a university student. They also implement feedback on their college writing to complete their first university essay, providing them with a clear link between their college and university assignments. Rather than emphasising the "gap" between college and university, STEP UP empowers students to recognise the skills they have developed during their HNC and identify how to employ these skills at university. By fostering reflexivity and feedback literacy, the module helps students understand what they bring to university and how they can grow within it. As Scottish institutions adjust to the new tertiary landscape, STEP UP demonstrates how emphasising continuity rather than difference can help articulation students develop their sense of belonging at university.
Using Quality Assurance to Drive Change and Enhancement in Our New Tertiary Landscape
Authors: O'Loan Kathryn , Macfarlane Debra

In 2023, QAA Scotland was asked by the SFC to oversee design of two key components of the TQEF - an approach to external peer review and follow-up activity, and national thematic enhancement activity. This paper outlines progress so far working with staff and students from across Scotland’s colleges and universities, our partner quality and sector agencies and the SFC.
The two ends of the tertiary education spectrum
Authors: Galvin Tracy
Published: November 2024

Tertiary education over the past ten years has seen a significant increase in learner diversity and the variability. Learners today are not a homogeneous group, instead they bring a variety of rich cultures, abilities, multiple and intersectional identities, varied lived experiences, and educational backgrounds. What was once known as the non-traditional or under-represented learner, today it is more common experience with the increase in international learners, refugees, asylum seekers, neurodiverse learners, carers, vulnerable learners, widening participation and access learners. We know this variability exists with the increase in learners registered with the disability or wellbeing services, a targeted approach to recruiting international learners and the widening access and participation efforts. While variability and diversity should be celebrated it does require adequate resources and funding, inclusive support structures and systems to be put in place, as well providing staff professional development. With this change there is an opportunity through enhancement that involves ‘doing new things or doing established things in different ways’ (QAA Scotland 2022, p.6). Inclusive education, “understood as equal access and opportunities, has become a guiding principle of higher education agendas” (Timus et al. 2024, 473). Across institutions there is a plethora of inclusion allies, advocates, initiatives, strategies, polices and professional development supports, so why are so many learners leaving courses, not engaging, not attending and certainly not seeing the value of education. Is it the pendulum shift toward marketisation, commercialisation and privatisation that learners are not seeing institutions as spaces and places of equity and justice but factories where money needs to cross hands? Where on this spectrum is the balance for enhancement and could universal design and universal design for learning be at least the starting point?
Talking Tertiary

In this edited interview, we use this moment of change in our Scottish higher education landscape to reflect back on how we might have come towards this ‘tertiary’ move as a sector to help us look forward and think carefully about the challenges and opportunities that may lie ahead. Our two interviewees have been significant voices in Quality Enhancement in Scotland and we anticipate that their insights and perspectives will give us food for thought as we cross the threshold into a new era.
Student perspectives on their learning and teaching experience - implications for our tertiary sector
Authors: Bossoni Alessandra , Cunningham Andrew , Henderson Derry , Millington Jasmine , Ramos Valeria , Swapp Martin
Published: November 2024

It is the collective voices of our students here who share with us openly their experiences of being a student in their diverse contexts. Their reflections weave together to give us a snapshot of several important aspects of being a student in 2023-24. Firstly, is the joy they express; and although these are a group of self-selecting students, acknowledging that joy feels important. With students at the heart of the Tertiary Quality Enhancement Framework, drawing on the affective as well as the academic experience is important, particularly given what we know about the importance of student belonging when it comes to a positive student experience. Moreover, our students each offer glimpses into their classroom experience where they clearly felt valued, and that they ‘mattered’ (Gravett et al.). Indeed, it is the relational aspect of their student experience that stands out – whether that was with their lecturers, their peers or within the broader support systems within their institutions. We will leave you with the plurality of their voices so you, the reader, can form your own opinions on how our student perspectives resonate with you in your own context.

Authors: Jakubec Ivan , Štemberk Jan
Published: November 2024

The paper focuses on a poorly elaborated project of the (private) railway Plzeň – Brno connecting West Bohemia with South Moravia. This project is rather well known from the interwar period, but as research shows, the project was discussed and prepared not only before the First World War, but also after the Second World War. A key area in these considerations was the Dolní Kralovice region in central Bohemia. The paper made use of mainly unpublished archival documents from the State District Archive in Vlašim, as well as town and village chronicles and contemporary and specialist literature.

Authors: Al-Selwi Abdul-Malik
Published: November 2024

This study is an attempt to shed light on the challenges of e-learning in Yemen. It used a qualitative, descriptive, and explanatory research design with data collected in one of the Yemeni private universities, Queen Arwa University (QAU). A general qualitative inductive approach was adopted to analyze the qualitative data for major and emerging important themes. These challenges can be classified into three categories: challenges related to the academic staff and students (human resources), technical and library difficulties (material elements), and financial problems. The study explores various underlying reasons for these challenges, such as inadequate training for faculty, limited internet accessibility, and insufficient funding for technological infrastructure. As a result, the study recommends several actionable suggestions based on its findings, aimed at improving and mitigating the challenges faced by e-learning stakeholders (decision-makers, teachers, students, etc.) during the e-learning process. Furthermore, the study creates opportunities for similar future research on the actual use of e-learning in other Yemeni or Arab universities. The insights gained from this research could potentially contribute to the development of more effective and sustainable e-learning strategies in the region.

TRANSGENERIDADES E DIREITO DE FAMÍLIA
Authors: Perdigão-Nass Larissa Michelle , Ipolito Michelle Zampieri
Published: November 2024

Assim como outros grupos minoritários, as pessoas transgêneres são frequentes vítimas de preconceitos, de discriminações, de discursos de ódio e de outras violências, inclusive físicas, partindo de muitas pessoas cisgêneres, incluindo-se agentes do Estado. Uma condição agravante é a perseguição legislativa a pessoas transgêneres no Brasil, em situação que não encontra par em nenhum outro grupo minoritário, com mais de um projeto antitrans por dia sendo apresentado nas câmaras legislativas de todo o Brasil. Assim, o objetivo do presente trabalho é o de apontar potenciais impactos ou consequências, ou, ainda, relações entre projetos de lei ou de decretos legislativos da Câmara dos Deputados de alguma forma associados a transgeneridades e o direito de família, sob um olhar analítico multidimensional. Fez-se uso de uma revisão narrativa analítica baseada em pesquisa bibliográfica junto ao arquivo da Câmara. Cerca de duas dezenas de projetos de lei e um projeto de decreto legislativo foram selecionados como alvo de análise, concentrando-se em quatro temáticas: anulação de casamento com pessoa transgenitalizada; “sexo de nascença” no assento de casamento; autodeterminação e proteção da identidade e da expressão de gênero; proteção às famílias transafetivas. Em suas considerações finais, o trabalho observa que o direito de família é uma das áreas mais impactadas pela dita onda legislativa antitrans na Câmara dos Deputados, e que mesmo projetos supostamente progressistas atendem mal aos anseios das pessoas transgêneres, algo que, espera-se, possa ser revertido após reflexões sobre os temas discutidos.

Authors:   Le Quy Don Technical University, Nguyen Phuong Thao
Published: November 2024

The simultaneous determination of 4-MEI and THI in caramel and products by LC-MS/MS was developed with several advantages of simplicity, selectivity, and high sensitivity. Chromatographic separation was performed using a C18 column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm), with a mobile phase consisting of ammonium formate pH = 4 and acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid employing a gradient elution mode. The analytes were detected using an MS/MS double mass spectrometer with an ESI+ ionization source. Samples were cleaned and enriched on a SPE MCX column. Method validaion resulted in a linear range of 5.0 - 500 ppb for 4-MEI, and 1.0 - 500 for THI, with LODs of 0.30 g/kg for THI and 1.5 μg/kg for 4-MEI, and LOQs of 1 μg/kg for THI and 5 μg/kg for 4-MEI. Repeatability and reproducibility for 4-MEI ranged from 2.9% to 9.1% and 2.9% to 11.8%, respectively, and for THI from 3.5% to 9.4% and 4.8% to 11.5%, respectively. Recovery rates for with 4-MEI and THI met AOAC's requirements, ranging from 82.7% to 106.4% and 87.2% to 109.7%, respectively. Application of the analytical method for 24 market products, including caramel, beverages, condiments, and cakes, showed that the 4-MEI and THI concentrations in consumer products were within the permissible limits, while pure caramel samples exceeded the permissible limits for THI concentrations.
MULTI-SENSOR CAMERA MODEL FOR CONTROLLING COORDINATES OF POINTS ON THE SURFACE OF TELESCOPES
Authors:   Academy of Military Science and Technology, Tong Minh Hoa
Published: November 2024

A new optoelectronic system for measuring the reflective mirror surface distortion of large telescopes is discussed in this study. This system comprises a multi-matrix structure of CMOS sensors, each sensor responsible for capturing an image of a control point on the mirror surface through a common objective. Simulation and calculation studies show that during operation, the position of the multi-sensor camera on the supporting ring is determined by control points on the telescope surface. The more control points, the higher the accuracy of the calculations. Simulation results indicate that the camera position error falls within acceptable limits when using 5 or more control points. Experimental results show that when calculating simultaneously with 3 control points, the error in determining the angular position of the camera reaches a value of  = 0.302 arc minutes, which is 2 - 2.5 times smaller than when calculating with only one control point.
DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF SHAPE MORPHING MAGNETO-IMPEDANCE MAGNETIC SENSOR
Authors:   Le Quy Don Technical University, Hanoi, Vietnam, Pham Van Thin
Published: November 2024

The magnetoimpedance (MI) effect is characterized by the alteration in the impedance of soft magnetic materials when subjected to a magnetic field while a high-frequency alternating current flows through them. In this study, we engineered two distinct sensor architectures utilizing amorphous FeCSi magnetic ribbon: a single-bar structure with the dimension of 10 mm × 90 μm × 20 μm and a meander structure consisting of 13 parallel single bars. These structures were miniaturized through advanced techniques combining laser engraving and chemical etching. The magnetic analysis reveals that the meander structure exhibits a pronounced dependency on the angle θ between the magnetic field and the sensor orientation, enhancing its soft magnetic properties by up to fivefold compared to the single-bar design. This enhancement might be attributed to a reduction in the demagnetization effect and shape anisotropy energy within the meander sensor. Furthermore, the analysis of the MI effect indicates that the resonance frequency remains unaffected by external magnetic fields for both sensor types. Notably, the meander sensor demonstrates exceptional MI ratio values exceeding 82%, representing a remarkable 24-fold increase over the 3.5% observed in the single-bar sensor. Additionally, the isotropy - quantified as the MI ratio's dependence on angle θ, and magnetic field sensitivity are significantly improved in the meander configuration. These advancements in soft magnetic and physical properties are correlated to the domain structure of the sensor, particularly its transverse magnetic permeability, as evidenced by micromagnetic simulations conducted using Mumax3. With its superior MI ratio, isotropy, and heightened magnetic field sensitivity, the meander-type magnetic field sensor presents substantial potential for applications across diverse fields, ranging from biological systems to specialized practical missions.

Bu kapsamda, Sakarya'da faaliyet gösteren ve muhasebe hizmeti alan işletmelerde 241 yetkili personelin katılımı ile bir araştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir. ACCOUNTQUAL-T'nin yakınsak geçerliliğinin sınanması için SERVQUAL ölçeğinden uyarlanarak muhasebe hizmet kalitesini ölçen ölçek ve tek maddeli muhasebe hizmet kalitesi ölçeği ile ACCOUNTQUAL-T arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. ACCOUNTQUAL-T'nin faktör yapısı açıklayıcı faktör analizi ile test edilmiştir. ACCOUNTQUAL-T'nin içsel tutarlılığı Cronbach alfa içsel tutarlılık katsayısı ile hesaplanmış ve oldukça yüksek bulunmuştur. ACCOUNTQUAL-T'nin ayırt edici geçerliliğinin test edilmesi için cinsiyet ile ilişkisi incelenmiş ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, ACCOUNTQUAL-T’ni toplam skoru ve alt boyutlarının (muhasebe bilgisi, teknolojik yenilik, güven ve etkinlik) SERVQUAL toplam skoru (alt faktörler dahil) ve tek maddeli muhasebe hizmet kalitesi ile yüksek korelasyon gösterdiğini ve yakınsak geçerliliğinin desteklendiğini göstermektedir. ACCOUNTQUAL-T’nin faktör yapısı orijinali ile uyumlu bir şekilde elde edilmiştir. Tüm bu bulgular, ACCOUNTQUAL-T’nin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olarak Türkiye örnekleminde yapılacak araştırmalarda muhasebe hizmet kalitesini ölçmek için alternatif bir ölçüm aracı olarak kullanılabileceğine ilişkin güçlü kanıtlar sunmaktadır.

Parents are the primary and first educators of children within a family. In the process of emotional adjustment for children, this cannot be separated from family support. Communication is the key to relationships within a family. The parenting style of the Nias ethnic group has its own uniqueness influenced by local culture and values. According to Vinden (2001), there are two parenting styles: authoritarian and authoritative. This study aims to describe the parenting practices of the Nias ethnic group. The research employs a quantitative method using descriptive statistical analysis. The population for this study consists of parents in the Nias ethnic group, with a total of 60 subjects. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. This study utilizes the parenting style scale developed by Vinden, which has been modified by O'Reily and Peterson (2014) and adapted into Indonesian by Hasanah and Rusli (2020). Based on the research results, the mean for authoritarian parenting style is 18.9 with a standard deviation of 1.50, while the mean for authoritative parenting style is 10.3 with a standard deviation of 1.84. This indicates that the authoritarian parenting style among parents in the Nias ethnic group is higher.

Authors: Kostanyan Emma G.
Published: November 2024

The article presents a research rationale for the technological system of developing metacognitive knowledge and skills in primary school students. The role of metacognition in elementary school is discussed, and its necessity is justified from the perspective of the effectiveness of the educational process. The importance of the metacognitive approach for younger school-age students is emphasized.
We conducted a pedagogical scientific experiment, and the methodology is presented in the article.
We carried out a three-tiered quantitative and qualitative study involving the parent community, teachers, and students. By comparing the survey data from parents, teachers, and students, our research demonstrated the need for metacognitive knowledge and experience in primary school. Despite both the parent and teacher communities being largely unfamiliar with the concept of "metacognition" during the study, it became clear that particularly the parent community noted a lack of initiative among students. In this case, students not only lack developed metacognitive skills but also show no desire to engage in academic activities.

Early childhood education in India is undergoing significant changes, guided by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework for the Foundational Stage (NCF-FS) 2022. This paper explores practical pedagogical approaches for pre-primary and early childhood care and education (ECCE) in India, aligning with these policy recommendations. It examines key strategies for implementing play-based learning, developing language and literacy skills, building foundational numeracy competencies, and incorporating inquiry-based and activity-based learning approaches. The study emphasizes the importance of creating stimulating learning environments featuring well-equipped indoor and outdoor play areas to facilitate meaningful play experiences. It details methods for fostering oral language development, phonological awareness, and early literacy skills through various activities and a print-rich classroom setting. Strategies for developing number sense, basic operations, spatial awareness, and other core numeracy concepts are outlined. The paper also explores approaches for integrating inquiry-based learning to nurture scientific thinking and problem-solving skills. Additionally, the paper discusses the role of diverse activities in promoting holistic development across physical, cognitive, social-emotional, language, and aesthetic domains. It highlights integrating art and experimentation in ECCE to enhance creativity and self-expression. The role of educators is analyzed, focusing on their contribution to creating stimulating learning environments and facilitating meaningful experiences for children. Challenges in implementing these approaches include infrastructure and resource constraints, teacher training needs, parental engagement, and cultural relevance. However, the evolving policy landscape also presents opportunities for transformation through increased investment, flexibility in curriculum design, and an emphasis on developmentally appropriate practices. The paper concludes with recommendations for future directions, such as strengthening ECCE infrastructure, enhancing teacher professional development, fostering community engagement, conducting further research, and developing culturally appropriate resources. By synthesizing evidence-based practices aligned with policy directives, the paper provides a comprehensive overview of effective pedagogy for fostering young children’s holistic growth and development in early childhood education in India.

Value added courses are additional educational programs or modules that are designed to complement the core curriculum of a degree program. These courses aim to provide students with extra skills, knowledge, and experiences that go beyond the traditional academic requirements. Value added courses are intended to enhance students’ overall learning experience, make them more competitive in the job market and better prepare them for the challenges of the professional world. These skill sets beyond the degree that one possesses will make an individual more desirable to secure a job and at the same time sustain the job and face challenges along the way and therefore considering this need, the NEP 2020 made a visionary step to introduce. The significance of such skills is slowly sprouting in the society and with the changing job market where the shift is towards industry and entrepreneurship and not only inclined towards white collar jobs, acquiring certain skill set is the call of the hour. Besides, the preferences of such skills in the career perspective, we cannot deny the significance of the skills and experience that make individuals good human beings capable of rational thought and action, possessing compassion, empathy, resilience, courage with sound ethical values as envisaged by National Education Policy 2020 and therefore giving priority towards such courses should be of utmost importance. This paper highlights the importance of Value-Added Courses in the higher educational institutions and examines the status of Value-added Courses in the colleges of Nagaland and also identifies challenges faced by the teachers using the interview method on 25 college teachers involved in imparting the course papers. Findings with regard to challenges revealed, there is a lack of clarity in the allocation of value-added courses to different departments, resulting in confusion, also availability of relevant textbooks of the value-added course papers and so on. Collaboration among teachers and feedback mechanisms to gather input from students were recommended as suggestive measures for further improvement

Bệnh tim mạch (CVD) đã cướp đi khoảng 19,1 triệu người, chiếm 33% số ca tử vong toàn cầu vào năm 2022 (theo thống kê của WHO). ECG (Electrocardiogram) được sử dụng để chẩn đoán và theo dõi CVD thông qua điện tâm đồ. Gần đây, một phương pháp dựa trên máy học được đề xuất để phát hiện CVD sớm, hỗ trợ chẩn đoán nhanh và chính xác hơn. Trong nghiên cứu này, nhóm tác giả sử dụng kỹ thuật máy học có giám sát xây dựng mô hình hỗ trợ chẩn đoán bệnh tim mạch dựa trên một số triệu chứng cận lâm sàng trong hai tệp dữ liệu [1] [2]. Thực nghiệm đạt độ chính xác toàn cục (Accuracy - ACC) là 98.21%, tỷ lệ âm tính giả (False Negative Rate – FNR), tỷ lệ dương tính giả (False Positive Rate – FPR) lần lượt là 0.63% và 2.82%. Tỷ lệ phát hiện của mô hình (Detect Rate - DR) đạt 99.02% cùng 10 đặc trưng sử dụng thuật toán Random Forest.
