Effective engagement is a crucial aspect of teaching and learning, particularly in online environments such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), where face-to-face interaction is limited. However, there is minimal research on how instructors employ language to engage students within MOOCs. In this regard, the concept of engagement markers becomes invaluable. These linguistic devices facilitate interaction between speakers and their online audiences. This study involves an analysis utilizing a self-built corpus of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) MOOC lectures offered by Chinese universities. Hyland’s engagement model identified the types, frequency, and functions of engagement markers employed by lecturers to engage learners in EFL MOOC lectures. In particular, the researchers compared nationally recognized EFL MOOC lectures with those from ordinary universities. The research findings indicated diverse engagement markers in EFL MOOC lectures. Nationally recognized EFL MOOCs exhibited a more extensive and frequent utilization of these markers than their counterparts from ordinary universities. For example, EFL MOOC lectures from top universities made significantly greater use of personal pronouns than those from ordinary Chinese universities. These results hold significant implications for EFL lecturers, providing valuable insights into effective engagement strategies for MOOCs. Furthermore, the present study contributes to the professional development of educators in this dynamic educational landscape.

Authors:   Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand, Barnett Mark W. , Sipitakiat Arnan , Blikstein Paulo
Published: December 2023

Although Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already being used in a variety of ways to support creativity and education, there are still limitations when it comes to understanding how AI becomes intelligent, its impacts and how to manipulate, tinker with and explore future uses. This work builds on the idea of “syntonicity” as a cognitive tool where learners benefit from their existing understanding of intelligence while learning about AI. This work presents a learning framework called “Neural Syntonicity” which describes the syntonic relationship between the student’s thoughts and reflections while learning how to use and train AI Image Recognition tools. In this project we: 1) developed a series of Machine Learning Image Recognition software tools that students can manipulate and tinker with, 2) developed a “microworld” of activities and learning materials that supports a conducive learning environment for students to learn about Image Recognition, and 3) developed scenarios that allow students to explore their own cognitive labels of visual Image Recognition while using these tools. The research also aims to help students uncover “Powerful Ideas” and learn technical knowledge in Artificial Intelligence like: prediction, data clustering, accuracy, data bias, training and societal impacts. Using a mixed methods approach of Design Based Research, we conducted studies with three different groups of students. Through the analysis, we found that all groups of students gained confidence with using AI, and learned new technical skills in AI. Students were also able to demonstrate through a variety of examples that bias is a factor that can be controlled in AI systems as well as in the human mind.

Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye describes the pain and tragedy the minority group of African Americans suffered caused by the abandonment of cultural traditions with her affective depiction. Focusing on the efforts made by some of the African Americans in this novel to fight against the gazes they experienced from both white oppression and male domination, this paper intends to discuss the attitudes and actions taken by those African American women in the face of double oppression from the perspective of post-colonial feminism, analyze their resistance to gaze, rejection to white aesthetics, and adherence to traditional values, in order to reveal the courageous and tenacious image of African American women portrayed by Morrison as fighters against unjust gaze.
Spiritual Imbalances of Characters in Maugham’s The Razor’s Edge from the Perspective of Spiritual Ecology
Authors: Yan Tiaomei , Sun Yu
Published: December 2023

William Somerset Maugham is a well-known writer and playwright, and he is also among one of the most popular writers in Britain. The Razor’s Edge, published in 1944, is one of his representative novels. Set in Chicago, this novel reflects characters’ spiritual imbalances, i.e., crazy pursuit towards material life, alienated relationships between people and increasingly assimilated life style, featuring historical events like the booming economy in America after the First World War and the Great Depression in 1933. Considering characters’ problematic spiritual world, spiritual ecology could serve as a suitable and effective method to explain this phenomenon. Spiritual ecology mainly investigates people’s spiritual world that will go through many changes in the face of our society’s development. By applying the theory of spiritual ecology, this paper has analyzed characters’ spiritual imbalances in The Razor’s Edge. It is found that characters mainly encounter three kinds of spiritual imbalances: spiritual materialization, existential alienation and assimilation of the life style. The characters’ unhealthy spiritual world reflected in this novel displays Maugham’s reflection towards economic development and people’s imbalanced spiritual world in the face of material abundance. And in the rapidly developing 21st century, we also meet some spiritual dilemma. By interpreting characters’ spiritual imbalance in the novel, this paper hopes to offer some insights to the modern people.

Authors: Femilian Afryla , Sukono Rafi Kusuma Ramadhan , Wahyudiana Ni Wy Rima Tiara
Published: December 2023

In 1981, AIDS was first recognized in the United States. Every year, AIDS cases always increase. The incidence of cross-infection cases in dentists reaches 36% when managing HIV/AIDS patients. Having good knowledge and attitudes can lead to good behavior towards the management of HIV/AIDS patients. The formation of knowledge, attitudes, and good behavior will increase over time, along with the experience of a dentist. This research aims to determine the relationship between the knowledge and attitudes of dental students at RSGM UMY and the management behavior of HIV/AIDS patients. This research is an analytical observation with a cross-sectional approach that used a questionnaire instrument. The respondents of this research were 75 dental students. This research questionnaire includes knowledge, attitudes, and behavior about HIV/AIDS towards the management of HIV/AIDS patients. Data analysis used Chi-square analysis. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that 93.3% of dental students had high knowledge and positive attitudes, and 6.7% had moderate knowledge and were neutral towards HIV/AIDS patients. 77.3% of dental students fell into the good behavior category, 12% in the moderate behavior category, and 10.7% in the bad behavior category. The results of statistical tests using Chi-square obtained p value = 0.456 ( 0.05), indicating no significant relationship between research variables. Based on the results of the research, there was no significant relationship between the knowledge, behavior, and attitudes of dental students at RSGM UMY and the management behavior of HIV/AIDS patients.
La presión fiscal equivalente en América Latina y el Caribe (1990-2021): actualización y estado de situación en la salida de la pandemia de COVID-19
Authors: Morán Dalmiro , Solera Marco
Published: December 2023

El presente documento acompaña la tercera actualización de la base de datos de Presión Fiscal Equivalente (PFE) de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) para el período 1990-2021, con cifras oficiales de 27 países de la región, en el marco del proyecto de trabajo entre el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) y el Centro Interamericano de Administraciones Tributarias (CIAT). La PFE mide de una manera más precisa la totalidad de los recursos recaudados en la región y tiene cuatro componentes: i) los ingresos impositivos tradicionales del gobierno general, incluidos aquellos de los gobiernos subnacionales; ii) las contribuciones públicas a la seguridad social, iii) los aportes obligatorios a regímenes privados de seguridad social; y iv) los ingresos no tributarios provenientes de la explotación de recursos naturales. De acuerdo con la tendencia creciente desde la década de los noventa, la PFE promedio para 25 países aumentó más de 6 puntos porcentuales del producto interno bruto (PIB), pasando del 17,3%al 23,6% entre 1990 y 2021. La dinámica de mediano plazo es explicada mayormente por los ingresos impositivos, que crecieron desde el 13,5% hasta el 18,0% del PIB en dicho período. Individualmente existe una alta heterogeneidad en cuanto a la evolución y al nivel de los ingresos tributarios y la PFE. Todos los países, a excepción de Panamá y Trinidad y Tobago, muestran un crecimiento de la PFE entre 1990 y 2021. En cuanto a la estructura de la PFE, se han consolidado tres pilares fiscales: a) los impuestos generales sobre bienes y servicios, b) las contribuciones a la seguridad social, y c) los impuestos sobre la renta. Sin embargo, debido a la elevada diversidad de casos, es factible encontrar excepciones en todas las regularidades señaladas. Por último, se comprobó la continuación de una lenta convergencia del nivel promedio de la PFE hacia el punto de referencia comparativa que representan los países de la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE). Dicho acercamiento se ha materializado gracias al fortalecimiento del primero de los pilares fiscales mencionados en los países de ALC, aunque persisten importantes brechas en lo que respecta a los otros dos pilares fiscales identificados.

Authors: Celhay Pablo , Jiménez Humberto
Published: December 2023

En el marco de la cooperación técnica que el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) mantiene con el Ministerio de Salud (MINSAL) de Chile, de la mano del Laboratorio de Innovación Pública de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile se vienen implementando desde 2020 pilotos para la identificación de alternativas eficaces para la disminución de las listas de espera a partir de la optimización de la gestión clínica en algunas especialidades. En un documento anterior, denominado “Determinantes de la espera por atención de especialidad: una propuesta de optimización de la gestión de las listas de espera en salud en Chile”, se presentó un modelo de optimización de la gestión del cuidado. Y en la publicación siguiente, denominada “Optimización de la gestión de las listas de espera en salud: tres casos de implementación en la red metropolitana de salud en Chile”, se informó la experiencia de implementación de ese modelo en tres pilotos que tuvieron lugar en tres unidades clínicas de dos hospitales en la región metropolitana de Santiago en Chile. En el documento que se presenta a continuación, se exponen los resultados de la evaluación ex post aplicada a estas tres experiencias. Los resultados preliminares son promisorios, considerando que en los tres casos se observan disminuciones en los tiempos de espera y casos abiertos. También se observan aumentos considerables en los egresos de interconsultas a partir de atenciones médicas realizadas, particularmente en casos de mayor antigüedad. Si bien es cierto que los resultados no pueden interpretarse como un efecto causal, sí se observan cambios de tendencia que podrían relacionarse con la aplicación del piloto estudiado.

Authors: Gonopolsky A.M. , Ostrovkin I.M. , Shirochenkov A.I.
Published: December 2023

A mathematical model of methane filtration to a well in the body of a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill during degassing has been developed. The identity of the obtained calculation results using the empirical model with the results of field measurements at the landfills reclaimed by the authors in the Moscow region was noted. It has been confirmed that the mathematical model tested in practice and the results of its numerical study make it possible to predict the process of landfill degassing over time at the design stage, as well as during operation and after its reclamation. It is concluded that forecasts of methane emissions from the body of the landfill into the atmosphere serve as the basis for the development of technologies and equipment to ensure environmental sanitary and fire safety of the territory in the area where the MSW landfill is located, as well as urban planning plans for the development of settlements.

A aplicação da metodologia da pedagogia sintrópica em cursinhos populares
Authors: Fonseca Genaro Alvarenga
Published: December 2023

Os “cursinhos” populares são uma modalidade de educação popular destinada a alunos egressos do Ensino Médio de escolas públicas com intenção de prestarem exames vestibulares. Sendo um sistema educativo informal, torna-se um espaço propício para “ousar” metodologias educacionais alternativas, no sentido de potencializar a capacidade de ensino e aprendizagem dos estudantes que em geral apresentam defasagens de conteúdo. O método pedagógico denominado “Pedagogia Sintrópica” consiste em um procedimento que se espelha metaforicamente no método de cultivo da agricultura sintrópica, ou seja, o consórcio agroecológico em que as plantas interagem em um sistema produtivo. A Pedagogia Sintrópica visa integrar as diferentes áreas do conhecimento com as condições de aprendizado dos alunos da mesma forma que em um sistema agroflorestal interagem-se elementos como luz solar, umidade, fertilidade do solo e consócio integrado de plantio. No sistema pedagógico sintrópico, os conhecimentos devem ser conectados processados pelos próprios alunos a parir de sua realidade social, emocional e cognitiva. Acredita-se, a partir de experiências anteriores, que este procedimento didático-pedagógico seja mais adequado ao público ao qual se destina os cursinhos populares justamente por seu formato de integrar conhecimentos e incentivar o protagonismo dos estudantes, sempre na perspectiva de uma educação emancipadora.
À escuta da aldeia: marcadores sociais e a memória nas comunidades indígenas no Brasil Meridional
Authors: Wenczenovicz, Thaís Janaina
Published: December 2023

Na América Latina e no Caribe, o ideário do colonialismo e a colonialidade são elementos constitutivos e específicos de um padrão de dominação e poder, em que a imposição de uma classificação étnico-racial, em sua população, desempenhou um papel fundamental. Analisar como ela opera, tanto no campo macrossocial, como no microssocial e subjetivo, requer o uso de novas epistemologias e reconhecimento dos coletivos, de forma a reconhecer o lugar de fala. Sabe-se que a questão racial é uma invenção histórica e colonial, cujos efeitos afetam o destino social e a existência cotidiana daqueles que habitam essa região. Nesse contexto, o trabalho assenta-se em dar voz à coletividade indígena e por meio dela, ter a possibilidade de analisar as relações sociais por um laboratório social pautado pelo lugar de fala e de escuta. Escuta atenta que permite vozes silenciadas a ocupar protagonismos, desde sua ancestralidade e cosmologias. É observar os espaços de fala e silenciamentos das diversas situações. É constatar a singularidade e a multiplicidade de ações e movimentos envoltos na cotidianidade, com vistas aos processos de subjetividade e intersubjetividade.

Authors: De Conto Júlia Carolina Vizzotto , Siga Hodávio José , Loss Adriana Salete
Published: December 2023

Neste artigo, objetiva-se analisar as dissertações do Programa de Pós-graduação Interdisciplinar em Ciências Humanas (PPGICH), defendidas entre 2017 e 2022, com a finalidade de identificar se e como a interdisciplinaridade é nelas mencionada e conceituada. A pesquisa se deu por meio de um levantamento das dissertações do programa no repositório digital da própria universidade. A análise revelou que, entre as 86 dissertações com acesso disponível no repositório, apenas 33 mencionam a palavra “interdisciplinaridade” no corpo do texto e 17 apresentam uma conceituação clara do termo. A rara alusão ao conceito da interdisciplinaridade nas pesquisas dos estudantes indica a necessidade de mais atenção e reflexão sobre esse tema fundamental no referido programa de pós-graduação, uma vez que o interdisciplinar encontra-se em seu próprio nome.

Authors: Rivas Noeli Prestes Padilha , Scorzoni Marília Ferranti Marques , Cantano Márcia Mendes Ruiz
Published: December 2023

Este artigo se insere no contexto do projeto de pesquisa “Assessoramento Pedagógico Universitário: Singularidades e Sincronicidades num Cenário Internacional”, em andamento desde 2022. A problemática que permeia o estudo assenta-se no silenciamento das políticas educacionais no que tange à formação do professor universitário, que, na ausência de direcionamento e amparo legal, fica a cargo de iniciativas pessoais e institucionais, refletindo motivações e concepções próprias do tempo-espaço em que estão inseridas. No caso da Universidade de São Paulo (USP), as ações e os programas desenvolvidos evidenciam as singularidades de uma instituição que construiu sua identidade pautada na pesquisa. O objetivo é investigar os programas e as propostas desenvolvidos no âmbito da Universidade de São Paulo, bem como analisar essa formação sob a ótica de professores e gestores envolvidos. Constituem-se como corpus de análise os documentos institucionais (anuários, relatórios) e as entrevistas com os atores sociais envolvidos com os programas institucionais de formação do professor universitário. A análise dos dados fundamenta-se na avaliação de conteúdo na modalidade temática. Os dados evidenciam que o lugar institucional de programas e propostas formativos tem sido marcado por disputas que refletem interesses de grupos e agentes sociais distintos, enfatizando que, na USP, questões relacionadas com a docência vêm sendo historicamente tratadas como política de gestão, o que revela o seu não lugar.
La Asesoría Pedagógica Universitaria en Argentina. Percepciones sobre las prácticas profesionales de los asesores pedagógicos universitarios
Authors: Viñas Walter , Lavalletto María Mercedes
Published: December 2023

El presente trabajo se enmarca en el proyecto de investigación “Asesoramiento Pedagógico Universitario: Singularidades y Sincronicidades en un Escenario Internacional”, a cargo de la Prof. María Antonia Ramos de Azevedo de la Universidad Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, en Brasil, y aborda las percepciones acerca del Asesoramiento Pedagógico Universitario en diferentes países. Aquí tomaremos el caso de Argentina y, en particular, de las tres unidades de análisis desarrolla das en las siguientes instituciones: Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad Nacional de Avellaneda y Hospital de Pediatría SAMIC “Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan”. Estas percepciones fueron recabadas mediante instrumentos con lógica cualitativa basados en las narrativas de los propios asesores. Se aplicaron cuestionarios, voluntariamente respondidos, para conocerse las formas de percibir las representaciones de los sujetos de investigación, formas organizativas que asumen las asesorías y las prácticas que desarrollan. En el análisis se utilizaron aportes teóricos desarrollados por el programa de investigación Estudios Sobre el Aula Universitaria, bajo la dirección académica de la Dra. Elisa Lucarelli y la Mg. Claudia Finkelstein, que se desarrolla en Argentina desde 1985. En los casos analizados, se observó que los asesores pedagógicos poseen una sólida formación y realizan tareas que se orientan a contribuir en la mejora de las prácticas de enseñanza. Los desafíos que enfrentan y sus posibilidades se encuentran ligadas a las trayectorias de los espacios institucionales. Se espera que las reflexiones y el análisis de los datos presentados en este artículo puedan contribuir a la comprensión de la Asesoría Pedagógica Universitaria.
Tools and Technologies Utilized in Data-Related Positions: An Empirical Study of Job Advertisements
Authors: Musazade Nurlan
Published: December 2023

Role, value and amount of data and related tools, technologies, companies and professions in society is rising. Since the required skills for data-related professions are predicted to experience changes, and labor market mismatches create challenges for stakeholders, this research focuses on changes in the required tools and technologies for data-related positions. The presented research defines trends and changes in frequencies of the tools utilized in the data-related professions by applying quantitative content analysis on collected data from job advertisements of Finland, Denmark and Poland. The research findings show that tools used in data-related professions experience significant changes over time. For example, AI and cloud computing-related skills, and SQL started to be required more, whereas Excel, SPSS and similar tools are less expected from the candidates. Furthermore, while R programming language utilization rises in analytics related positions, Python is more common in positions related to data science.
The Impact of Innovation Objectives on Industry-Academia Collaboration. A Look Towards Sustainability
Authors: de las Mercedes Gracia-Laborda María , López-Nicolás Carolina , Lozano-Reina Gabriel , Meroño-Cerdán Ángel , Molina-Castillo Francisco José
Published: December 2023

The literature on innovation has been very prolific in highlighting the importance of companies developing new products, processes or business models in order to be more competitive in the marketplace. Empirical studies have shown that this innovative activity has translated into superior results for companies that have engaged in innovation. However, most of these initiatives have been studied mainly from the company's point of view without considering the contribution that academia can make to these innovation processes. This paper explores precisely how it is possible to achieve better results in innovation objectives through industry-academia collaboration (IAC). To this end, a sample of 7638 Spanish companies is analysed, distinguishing between those that have linked their innovation objectives to collaboration between the company and higher education centres. The results reveal that this IAC helps reinforce innovation objectives, demonstrating that the union of the academic and business worlds improves the results of business innovation processes. This has important theoretical implications as it offers new insights into the analysis of innovation processes and business implications as it proves that there is a need to develop platforms that encourage IAC.
The Role of Digitalisation in Changing the Business Models in Logistics: Case of RoPax Ports
Authors: Chen Yiran , Tsvetkova Anastasia , Edelman Kristel , Wahlström Irina , Heikkilä Marikka , Hellström Magnus
Published: December 2023

This article explores digitalisation’s potential to change traditional business models in the context of RoPax (roll-on, roll-off passenger vessels) ports in four Northern European countries. The study examines digitalisation’s role in addressing business model change drivers, focusing on the perspective of port authorities (PAs). While digitalisation slowly affects operations at RoPax ports and PAs’ business models, the research data exhibits no radical business model innovation. Instead, the findings indicate that PAs introduce new digitalisation and business activities, potentially leading to business model renewal. However, the current digitalisation is inefficient, as technology providers lack an in-depth understanding of the port business and its ecosystem, and PAs have scarce knowledge of digitalisation’s business impact. The article concludes that connecting digitalisation strongly to the business model and strategic renewal is the way to overcome this challenge.

Authors: Gresnigt Joris , van Steenbergen Marlies
Published: December 2023

Higher education institutions play a significant role in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There is however a gap between the abstract nature of SDGs and the need to integrate these in the day-to-day educational environment. This paper presents an ongoing study that reports preliminary findings regarding the integration of insights from Value Sensitive Design into frequently employed artifacts within a project-based IT educational context, with the aim of translating abstract Sustainable Development Goals into teaching practice.

Published: December 2023

Despite the hype of the blockchain technology, the implementation and execution of blockchain technologies in sectors beyond cryptocurrency is lagging and below par. Understanding the reasons behind this lag is important to enable addressing any voids and enable making maximum use of the technology. We shed light on this void by trying to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) faced by the use of blockchain technologies in industries beyond crypto, and thereby, draw insights valuable to develop a blockchain platform for healthcare.
Towards an Adaptive Implementation Tool for Devices in Complex Hospital Departments
Authors: Sewberath Misser Navin , Jaspers Joris , Versendaal Johan
Published: December 2023

Implementation of technological digital devices in existing complex hospital environments remains a challenge. We constructed a framework for the implementation of technological devices in operating rooms. In this research, we address users' needs for an adaptive (digital) implementation tool or app. We use a requirements engineering method to identify stakeholders and to identify steps to define requirements for this digital tool. We will construct personas to identify requirements and based on these findings a market search will follow to decide, either to buy and configure an existing tool or to develop a new tool that facilitates the implementation of devices in complex hospital departments.
