Authors: Lima Franklin M. da C. , Miranda Leonardo Cunha de , Vasiljevic Gabriel Alves Mendes , Baranauskas M. Cecília C.
Published: April 2024

In Brazil, the Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems (IHC) gathers the scientific community of researchers interested in the field of Human-Computer Interaction since 1998, being the main Brazilian event in this sub-area of Computing. Over twenty-one editions, the IHC received works from researchers from different regions of the country who, over the years, have been building their own co-authorship relationships with the other authors of the Symposium. In this context, this paper analysed the IHC from the perspective of those who helped to consolidate this important national scientific event, as well as in the expansion of the Human-Computer Interaction area in the Brazilian scenario, that is, its researchers-authors. In total, 1,443 authors were identified and analysed in the study presented in this work, which considered 873 publications of three IHC tracks: Full Papers, Short Papers, and Innovative Ideas and Emerging Results. Issues related to the publications and to the co-authorship relationships of these authors over the years and in the different article tracks of the IHC were considered. In order to describe their research trajectories within the IHC itself, the study presents, in different scales of time, how these authors evolved in relation to their contributions over time. In addition, this paper analyses how the authors contributed with each other and originated the complex collaboration network of the IHC. For this, co-authorship networks and groups of authors who published together were explored, aiming to clarify the collaborations between these authors, as well as how they evolved until the edition of 2022. In this sense, this work seeks, with each research question, to simplify the presentation of results through different visualizations, which were planned and created to describe information that are not clearly evident when observing the IHC publications in a “disconnected” manner. The results of this study are revealed, described and analysed under different perspectives, as well as discussed in details in this paper.

Published: April 2024

This paper presents an exploratory research that analyzed the Privacy and Security Policies and the Instruction Manuals of 59 home automation equipment for Smart Home in order to verify which personal data was handled and how these documents were providing information about processes performed in personal data. The analysis was conducted with a quantitative approach followed by a qualitative analysis, using content analysis. The surveys identified the following types of personal data: Identification, Financial, Devices and Location. The results presented greater interest in identification data, although financial and location are also used in specific cases. We also concluded that the Privacy and Security Policies present several information that meets the LGPD’s guidelines, especially regarding the purpose of using the data and which personal data is used. However, there is a visible lack of information about the benefits provided to data subjects and about sharing data with third parties, such as recipient data and the legal basis for sharing data.

Lehrleistungen im Berufungsverfahren
Authors: Meiertöns Heiko
Published: April 2024

Lehre ist eine schon in der Berufsbezeichnung angelegte, zentrale Aufgabe von Hochschullehrenden. Bei deren Personalauswahl spielt die Lehrqualifikation hingegen, anders als wissenschaftliche Leistungen, eine eher untergeordnete Rolle. Berufungen sind komplexe, hoch regulierte Verfahren zur Selbstergänzung akademischen Personals, die den verfassungsrechtlichen Vorgaben der Art. 33 Abs. 2, Art. 3 Abs. 2, 3, Art. 5 Abs. 3 GG genügen müssen. Eine zentrale Rolle für die genaue Ausgestaltung von Berufungsverfahren und Eignungskriterien kommt dabei den Landesgesetzgebern in den jeweiligen Landeshochschulgesetzen zu. Im Zentrum der Untersuchung stehen Anforderungen und Methoden zur Feststellung der Lehrqualifikation, wie sie sich aus den Landeshochschulgesetzen ergeben. Dabei werden Vorgaben der Rechtsprechung mit einbezogen und exemplarisch einzelne Berufungsordnungen untersucht.
Goal Setting and Goal Orientation as Predictors of Learning Satisfaction and Online Learning Behavior in Higher Education Blended Courses
Authors: Juhaňák Libor , Brücknerová Karla , Nekardová Barbora , Zounek Jiří
Published: April 2024

This study investigated how goal setting and goal orientation are related to student learning behavior and engagement in an online learning environment, and how learning behavior, goal setting, and goal orientation are related to student satisfaction with the course they are studying. A total of 882 students from 76 different courses participated in this study, which used both self-reported data from a questionnaire and indicators based on digital traces in an online learning environment. The results of multilevel regression analyses showed that student ability to set learning goals (i.e., goal setting) was positively related to both student learning satisfaction and student learning behavior. Intrinsic goal orientation positively predicted student satisfaction with the course. Extrinsic goal orientation did not show a significant effect in any of the observed relationships. The analyzed indicators of student learning behavior showed no statistically significant association with learning satisfaction. Possible explanations for these findings are discussed, and limitations and directions for future research are suggested.

Authors: Al Ajeilat Kousalová Barbora
Published: April 2024

This study investigates vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) used among ten primary school learners. Through video recordings, the research explores specific VLS utilized during pair work and their influence on learning outcomes, analyzed with qualitative content analysis. The research questions address the identification and utilization of VLS, the relationship between VLS usage and the ability to infer word meanings, and learner engagement in VLS usage. Findings indicate a notable co-occurrence of some strategies. Moreover, the broader the learners' prior knowledge, the more successful they were with inferring word meanings. The study also emphasizes the need for balanced VLS engagement to optimize outcomes in pair work. This research aims to create new impulses for learning/teaching vocabulary within a foreign language classroom through the targeted practice of vocabulary learning strategies. Such practice aims to facilitate students' learning processes in promoting their self-regulated learning.
Representation Of LGBTQIA+ People in Selected Indian Web Series: A Study
Authors: Jethava Nidhi
Published: April 2024

LGBTQIA+ is an acronym for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual. These terms describe the gender identity of those who do not come into the male and female categories. Before 2018 homosexual act between adults was unconstitutional in India under section 377 but on 6th September 2018 Indian supreme court neglected this and their sexual activities or homosexuality became a legal act in India. In the whole world, the media plays a very important and fascinating role to represent any controversy. Now our media like television, OTTs, and cinema also represent the content that discusses the idea of LGBT people. Nowadays the younger generation is moving or shifting towards OTT platforms. On the OTT platform, presenting this kind of content is becoming useful. OTTS is becoming the most trending and easy to represent the difficulties, trauma, depression, raising questions for identities, gender trouble, and the bitterness of life lived by LGBTQIA+. The aim of this article is to drill the concept of representation and acceptance of third-gender people in Indian society through OTT platforms and also it will put light on myths regarding third gender. It has been more than five years since the LGBT+ community and homosexuality are becoming a legal act in India but it has given only legal acceptance. In our society and especially in a small town their acceptance and their sexual acts are still unacceptable and odd. So, media and screens have the power to bring both positive and negative change in the stereotype myths regarding queer people. This research will focus on ‘Mismatched season 2’, ‘Four More Shots Please’ ‘Made in Heaven’, and ‘His Storyy’.
Pandemic Narratives in Graphic Literature: A Study of Comics
Authors: Balo Ritwik
Published: April 2024

This paper expands the discourse on pandemic studies in literature and the arts by integrating an analysis of comics and graphic narratives. While traditional literary scholarship has marginally addressed the thematic representation of pandemics, this study foregrounds the unique contributions of comics in depicting and understanding these crises. I argue that comics, with their blend of visual and textual storytelling, offer nuanced perspectives on pandemics, often overlooked in mainstream literary canon. Through an examination of works like Hope On! An Anthology of Comics and comic books such as Nagraj Strikes: The Attack of Coronaman, state-sponsored initiatives like Kids, Vaayu & Corona, and webzines such as The Times of Corona, this paper illustrates how comics capture the multifaceted nature of pandemics. These narratives range from optimistic environmental reflections to critical social commentaries, embodying diverse cultural responses to disease outbreaks. Furthermore, the paper discusses the representational challenges faced in visualizing pandemics and how comics navigate these through creative personifications and metaphorical depictions of viruses. The unique capacity of comics to engage, educate, and provoke thought makes them a powerful medium in the ongoing dialogue about pandemics. By integrating comics into pandemic studies, this research aims to enrich the academic conversation, providing a more comprehensive understanding of how literature and art reflect and respond to global health crises.

‘Unpaused’ - Naya Safar - Navigating through Life During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Nakhare Dr. Kirti
Published: April 2024

Life changed after the first nationwide lockdown was announced by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on 24th March,2020 and the series of lockdowns that were announced later, in India. What ensued, has gone down in history. The COVID-19 virus had steadily gained a steady footing and was a force to reckon with. The middle-aged population in India and specifically Bombay (now Mumbai) had heard narratives of the Bubonic Plague epidemic, which affected people well into the 1950s, from the septuagenarian population, which were woven around plague deaths and had left an indelible mark. The COVID-19 pandemic provided first-hand experience across the spectrum, of a pandemic. Solitary confinement or lockdowns forced families to huddle together in the narrow confines of their homes, which was a challenge, especially in metro cities, that are plagued with space constraints. This resulted in unwittingly kicking ‘a can of worms’ for many, as a result of coming face-to-face with unacknowledged emotions. Emotions that ranged from grief over loss of employment, the sorrow, due to the inability to connect with loved ones to feelings of helplessness faced while fighting with the demons within, and many such unsavoury feelings, which raised their ugly head. At such times, Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms provided the much-required succour in the form of anthologies that dealt with myriad sentiments that people felt during the pandemic. This paper intends to analyse the digitised literary representation as captured in Unpaused- Naya Safar- Season 1, which is streaming on Amazon Prime, capturing the highs and lows experienced by individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Is it okay to lie to children? How to know when faith in the unprovable is acceptable? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, the narrator’s daughter calls a secret meeting with her mother to ask a very serious question, is Santa Claus real? She recently saw that her present says, “Made in China” rather than being made at the North Pole. She is the moment her mother has dreaded the first steps of her daughter growing up. The narrator explains to her daughter that she wants Santa Claus to be real, but he isn’t. She also explains to her daughter the concept of “faith” both as it relates to Santa Claus, and as it relates to the manger scene they have set up for the holidays. In both cases, she explains faith in them may be good enough. Her daughter accepts this answer, related to both.
Rolul metalimbajului în construcția comicului din textele de revistă românești
Authors:   Universitatea București, Facultatea de litere, DESPAN MIHAELA-RODICA
Published: April 2024

The study analyzes a corpus consisting of revue texts and Romanian satirical-humoristic texts to determine the role of metalanguage in comic construction. The novelty brought by the study is found both in the metalanguage analysis approach of the corpus and in how the corpus has been selected. Romanian satirical-humoristic texts have not been studied from the perspective proposed so far, and scientific approaches to them are limited. Artistic creativity and the multitude of stylistic means found in these types of texts make them a fascinating object of study for linguistic approaches. The study is the only one in the Romanian linguistic space with a corpus consisting only of revue texts, approached from the perspective of metallanguage. The association of the two fields for scientific analysis is a salutary approach for extending the linguistic descriptions but also for solving some theoretical problems regarding the status of these texts. The study also foresees the socio-cultural contextualization of the content presented by the texts and doubles the linguistic analysis to expand existing descriptions. The review of some famous texts, revue theather moments from the Romanian space, analyzed from the perspective of metallanguage, undoubtedly emphasizes the aesthetic and linguistic creativity of these types of texts. The study is implicitly dedicated to the Romanian revue genre, and the linguistic approach proves to be particularly important for scientific studies on this topic.

Published: April 2024

An experiment was conducted in an undisturbed Leucaena leucocephala (Lam)de Wit (subabul) plantation ecosystem to study the impact of abiotic factors on the distribution of litter and soil mesofauna. The findings revealed a significant correlation between the abundance of soil and litter mesofauna and abiotic factors. In the natural subabul plantation, the soil mesofauna population ranged from 38.00 (1st fortnight) to 307.00 /400g (11th fortnight), with a mean population of 123.48 /400g. Similarly, the litter mesofauna population ranged from 19.67 (12th fortnight) to 1013.33 /100g (9th fortnight), with a mean population of 211.52/100g. Soil temperature at 7 and 14 hours significantly negatively correlated with soil mesofauna. The distribution of soil mesofauna was impacted by abiotic factors up to 97 per cent, with in-situ soil temperature showing an impact of up to 74.1 per cent. A unit change in soil temperature would lead to a decrease of 18.23 units of soil mesofauna. Additionally, atmospheric maximum relative humidity and this abiotic factor impacted 83 per cent of soil mesofauna, while soil moisture and these two abiotic factors impacted 92.6 per cent of soil mesofauna abundance. All three factors exhibited a negative impact on soil mesofauna. On the other hand, rainfall showed a significant positive relationship with litter mesofauna, whereas in-situ soil temperature showed a significant negative relationship. Furthermore, abiotic factors contributed to 69.6 per cent of the abundance of litter mesofauna, with rainfall showing an influence of up to 40 per cent. A unit change in rainfall would increase 3.122 units in litter mesofauna abundance.

Rhizobium is an important symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria. The bacteria colonize leguminous plant cells within root nodules, where they convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia using the enzyme nitrogenase and then provide organic nitrogenous compounds such as glutamine or ureides to the plant. The plant, in turn, provides the bacteria with organic compounds made by photosynthesis. In this study, rhizosphere soil samples and nodules were collected from rajma plants of hilly Paderu region of Andhra Pradesh. Rhizobia were isolated from these samples using Yeast Extract Manitol Agar (YEMA) medium. There were 5 Rhizobium isolates obtained from the rhizosphere soil and nodules of rajma. These isolates were purified and inoculated to different legumes viz, black gram, green gram, red gram, Bengal gram and groundnut through seed treatment, planted in glass jars and maintained in green house. Nodulation pattern was studied 45 days after sowing. Rhizobium isolates 1 and 5 produced nodules in black gram and green gram, and Rhizobium isolate 2 produced nodules in black gram and red gram. Rhizobium isolate 3 produced nodules in black gram, green gram and red gram, and Rhizobium isolate 4 produced nodules in blackgram, greengram and groundnut. This study clearly showed that there is a possibility for Rhizobium isolate obtained from one legume to form nodules in other legumes but with variation in nodulation pattern.

Published: April 2024

Alkaline phosphatases belong to the group of enzymes, phosphomonoesterases, which play a major role in the mineralization of soil organic P. Substrate concentration of enzyme is one of the factors that affect the enzyme kinetics. To study the role of substrate concentration on soil enzyme alkaline phosphatase in vertisols, twenty-five surface soil samples were collected and assayed for the activity of soil alkaline phosphatase. The alkaline phosphatase activity as expressed in terms of µg of 4-nitrophenol released g-1 soil h-1 in these soils varied from 53.8 to 498.7 with a mean value of 187.4 in surface soils. Among them, ten soil samples were selected to study enzyme kinetics with thirteen substrate concentrations under laboratory incubation studies with three replications. Soil alkaline phosphatase increased with an increase in substrate concentration up to 20mM, and almost reached a plateau at a substrate concentration of more than 15mM. The enzyme activity remained almost constant in all the ten vertisols, with further increase in substrate concentration, minimal change in enzyme activity was observed. Characteristics of enzyme activities like maximum enzyme reaction velocity (Vmax) and Michaelis constant (Km) were determined using the Michaelis–Menten equation similar to those determined in a homogenous system. The maximum reaction velocity of soil alkaline phosphatase for soils under study was calculated (µg of 4-nitrophenol g-1 soil h-1) which varied from 87.6 to 197.5 with the soils S9, S2, S5 and S8 recorded higher values using Lineweaver – Burk plot. The values compared well with Hanes–Wolf transformation 75.5 to 129.9 and the soils S2, S9, S5, and S3 recorded higher values. Under the Eadie–Hofstee transformation the values varied from 82.5 to 140.8 and S2, S5, S3 and S9 recorded higher values. Michaelis constant (Km) of the soil alkaline phosphatase calculated using Line weaver–Burk transformation plot varied from 3.8 to 16.80 mM and the higher values were recorded by S9, S2, S8, S7 and S6. The values compared well with those obtained from Hanes–Wolf (1.10 to 7.80) and soils S9, S2, S8 and S6 recorded higher values. In Eadie–Hofstee plots the values ranged from (3.10 to 8.20) and higher values were found in the soils S9, S2, S4 and S8. It was concluded that the linear transformation of Line-weaver Burk values was superior for estimating Km and Vmax values of enzymes in soil. However significant differences were noticed when Km and Vmax were calculated from the linear transformation of Michaelis plot.

The field experiment was conducted to ascertain the influence of Potash Releasing Bacteria (KRB) on growth and yield of sorghum for three years during Rabi 2019, 2020 and 2021 at Agricultural Research Station, Amaravathi. KRB biofertilizer was applied to the soil at the time of sowing with different levels of potash i.e. 100, 75, 50 and 25 per cent of recommended dose. Application of KRB enhanced the growth and yield of sorghum over 100 percent recommended dose of fertilizers. The highest yield was recorded in the treatment with 100% RDF with the application of KRB. Plant height (166.75cm), stem girth (2.45cm) was more in the treatment with 75% RDK+100% NP with KRB application whereas grain yield (2257) was highest in the treatment with application of KRB + 100% NPK and least in 100% NP + 25% K+ KRB (1350kg/ha). Soil N, P, K content and KRB population were increased due to application of KRB. And it was highest with application of KRB + 100% NPK and least in 100% NP + 25% K+ KRB. This study clearly showed the role of KRB in enhancing the yield of sorghum.

Yiyecek içecek konusu insanlığın her döneminde önemli olmuştur. İlk çağlarda avcı ve toplayıcı olan ve insanlar günümüzde yiyecek içecek motivasyonuyla seyahat etme şekline dönüşmüştür. İlk çağlarda sadece hayatta kalabilmek için gerekli olan yiyecek ve içecekler günümüzde tıp, sanat, turizm ve eğitim gibi daha pek çok alanda önemli görülmektedir. Mutfak kültürünün değişen zaman içerisinde toplumların yeme içme davranışlarıyla oluştuğu görülmektedir. Mutfak kültürünün ülkelerin ve toplumların tanıtımında ve turizm alanında önemli bir motivasyon olduğu görülmekle birlikte kendine özel bir pazarı da oluşturduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Bu durumun gastronomi turizmi adı verilen kavramı ön plana çıkardığı söylenebilir. Gastronomi turizmi alanında yapılan akademik çalışmalar her ne kadar sayıca artsa da daha araştırılması gereken pek çok konu vardır.
Bu kitabın gastronomi ve turizm yazınına katkı sunmasını umarak, kitaba bölüm yazarı olarak değerli çalışmalarıyla destek olan değerli bilim insanlarına teşekkür ediyoruz.

Authors: Türkeri İlker , Önel Emre , Özer Ayşe Nur
Published: April 2024

Günümüzde tüketicilerin kültürel davranışlarının yeme alışkanlıklarını etkilediği bilinmektedir. Yeme alışkanlıklarındaki yiyecekler, kültürleri ve kültürlerin sınırlarını belirlemektedir. Kültürlere ait yiyeceklerin farklı olması beraberinde etnosentrizmi ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı gastronomi, coğrafi işaret, etnosentrizm kavramları arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyerek gastro-etnosentrizmin satın alma niyetindeki rolünü değerlendirmektir. Gastro-etnosentrizm, tüketicilerin kendi yörelerine ait ürünleri tercih ederek diğer yörelerin ürünlerini tercih etmemesidir. Gastro-etnosentrizm coğrafi işaretli ürünler ile de yakından ilişki içindedir. Söz konusu kavramların temelinde yerel ürünü ve yerel mutfağı desteklemek, tanıtımında rol almak ve yerel ürünlerin sürdürülebilirliğini sağlamak yer almaktadır. Bununla birlikte, tüketicilerde oluşan gastro-etnosentrizm algısı satın alma niyetlerini etkilediği, yerli ve milli ürünleri tüketmeye teşvik ettiği aynı zamanda tüketici tarafında güven ve değer oluşturduğu da görülmektedir.

A Pragmatic Approach to the Prevention of Preterm Birth
Authors: Whittle Wendy L.
Published: April 2024

Preterm birth (PTB) -delivery before 37 weeks of gestation- occurs in ~8% of Canadian pregnancies, a rate that has remained stable for >20 years. Prematurity remains the leading cause of neonatal mortality- especially at the extreme of viability: 22–26 weeks gestation. Children born prematurely have increased rates of cerebral palsy, global neurodevelopmental impairment, learning disabilities, deafness, vision impairment and behavioural diagnoses. Hospital length of stay and re-admission rates in the first year of life are higher in babies born preterm. The family impact is immeasurable in the domains of mental health diagnoses, financial health, and disordered social interactions. Prematurity has a longitudinal impact on reproductive and public health with an increased risk of occurrence in subsequent pregnancies.

The increasing number of SMEs will always be related to sustainability, and the urgency to care for the environment is becoming increasingly high so conventional marketing is starting to shift towards green marketing. Even though they have a large role in economic development, regarding sustainability issues, SMEs have not contributed optimally. The sampling technique is based on the principle of non-probability sampling. Questionnaires were processed by 108 culinary UKM owners in Lombok, using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results of testing the direct influence of entrepreneurial orientation on optimizing the performance of SMEs in Lombok show that there is an insignificant influence. Green marketing has a moderating effect on entrepreneurial orientation and optimizing the performance of SMEs in Lombok.

Melodical and harmonic analysis of church and folk hymns from collection "Octoich" St. St. Mokranjac and the possibility of their application in the solfeggio teaching
Authors: Parezanović Kristina
Published: April 2024

The basic research direction in this work refers to the analysis of all compositions from the collection of church-folk chants "Octoich" compiled by Stevan Stojanović Mokranjac, with the aim of solving certain problems in the field of solfeggio teaching with the help of folk church chants. Considering that spiritual music is very present around us today (at church services, concerts, school performances, etc.), we believe that its inclusion in music teaching in music schools would significantly contribute to its preservation. During the research, all compositions from the collection (320 of them) were processed, and for analysis we selected the songs "Na hvaliteh" and "Stihovne stihire" as the most complete compositions from the melodic-harmonic and formal aspect. In the results of the analysis, there are concrete proposals for work in the solfeggio teaching considering age and teaching areas.

Authors: Đorđević Miloš , Valent Dragana
Published: April 2024

Introduction. Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women. The most reliable method to diagnose breast cancer is through mammography, combined with ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging. The treatment plan may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. Case report. The following is a case report of a 46-yearold woman who visited a physician in 2007 when she was planning her second pregnancy. She was 30 years old at the time. During a routine breast self-examination, she noticed a lump and was sent for an ultrasound examination where the tumor was confirmed. After diagnosis and preoperative preparation, she underwent breast-preserving surgery of the left breast, along with axilla dissection due to positive lymph nodes. Pathohistologic findings confirmed Carcinoma mixtus praecipue ductale G2 et partim mucinosum G2, while no metastatic changes were found in the axillary lymph nodes. The tumor's hormonal status was estrogen 1, progesterone 1, and HER2 2. The patient received six rounds of FAC chemotherapy followed by 16 rounds of trastuzumab. After starting on tamoxifen and using it until December 2009, she had to undergo the removal of her right ovary due to the discovery of numerous cysts. Several cysts were also found on the left ovary. Five years after her breast cancer surgery, the patient became pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl. She breastfed her for ten months from the breast that was not operated on. Conclusion. Breast cancer is a serious illness that can greatly affect the reproductive health of young women. It is essential to take into account the patient's desire to have children after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to provide appropriate therapy and counseling.
