From intention to action: factors of vaccine hesitancy and vaccine refusal during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Kislitsyn Dmitry V. , Schapov Dmitry S.
Published: December 2022

According to results of the vaccination campaign against COVID-19, Russia has failed to reach indicators of the developed countries on vaccination coverage and is sustainably below the global average. The purpose of this article is to identify and quantify factors of vaccine hesitancy and vaccine refusal in Russia during the following periods: prior to mass vaccination campaign and upon completion of its most active phase. We use data from the two surveys conducted in January-February and November-December, 2021. In the framework of the first survey, the respondents provided answers about their intention to be vaccinated, while in the second – about actual vaccination. In addition to socio-demographic indicators of individuals, factors related to respondents’ perception of the disease and vaccine specifics, as well as their attitude towards vaccination in general, have been analyzed. The results indicate that distrust in the COVID-19 vaccine and anti-vaxxer convictions are important factors associated with both the intention to receive a vaccine and realized behavior regarding vaccination. There are significant differences across socio-demographic factors related to the intention to be vaccinated and realized behavior. This demonstrates the need to investigate factors determining behavior regarding vaccination rather than only factors affecting intention to receive a vaccine against COVID-19. The pandemic situation is significantly different from the “normal” one: the vaccination program is accompanied, among other things, by pressure on the population to encourage them to get vaccinated. The effects of this policy on the part of the state are yet to be investigated, a deeper understanding of their effect on vaccination behavior is required.
La population du monde : tendances et perspectives
Authors: Parant Alain
Published: December 2022

Le mardi 15 novembre 2022, la population mondiale a dépassé le seuil des huit milliards d’habitants selon les Nations unies. Sa croissance s’opère à un rythme soutenu depuis plusieurs décennies : un milliard de personnes de plus en 12 ans, probablement autant à venir dans les 15 prochaines années. Ceci résulte principalement de l’augmentation de la durée de vie, elle-même liée aux progrès réalisés en termes de santé, hygiène, alimentation… Mais dans un monde aux ressources limitées et confronté aux défis du changement climatique, une telle croissance fait débat : pourrons-nous subvenir aux besoins de tant de Terriens ? Cette tendance va-t-elle se poursuivre durablement au même rythme ? La parution cet été 2022 des dernières estimations et perspectives de population des Nations unies, pour le monde et par grandes régions, permet d’éclairer ce débat. Alain Parant les a analysées pour Futuribles et en présente les principaux enseignements. Après avoir rappelé les tendances de fond depuis 1950 (croissance continue mais à rythme ralenti, facteurs de cette croissance, vieillissement et dynamiques régionales), il présente les schémas d’évolution retenus par les Nations unies en termes de fécondité, mortalité et migration internationale. Il souligne aussi que le spectre des possibles reste très ouvert puisque le pic démographique mondial oscille, selon les variantes retenues, entre 8,4 milliards (atteint dès 2054) et 14,8 milliards (atteint en 2100), avec des dynamiques régionales très différentes (l’Asie et l’Afrique tirant la croissance, à l’inverse de l’Europe et l’Amérique du Nord). Enfin, Alain Parant confronte ces perspectives à quelques travaux alternatifs qui ont fait le «  buzz  » ces dernières années (certains allant jusqu’à annoncer un déclin à compter de 2050 portant la population mondiale à 4 milliards en 2100), soulignant au passage l’importance de la qualité des indicateurs pris en compte dans ce type d’exercice.  S.D.
L’assignation à comparaître et la saisie des données ethnographiques
Authors: Rahman Khan Shamus
Published: December 2022

Cet article décrit l’expérience de l’auteur, assigné à comparaître pour ses données ethnographiques. Il décrit les défis posés par les citations à comparaître dans le domaine de la recherche et propose quatre solutions : (1) demander et utiliser le certificat de confidentialité des National Institutes of Health en posant des questions relatives à la santé au cours de la recherche ; (2) créer un groupe de travail qui formule des directives éthiques claires pour la recherche ethnographique ; (3) exiger que les comités d’éthique soient tenues de défendre la confidentialité de la recherche ; (4) socialiser le coût des citations à comparaître, en permettant aux chercheurs de faire partie d’une assurance mutualiste qui les défendra.
Une armure pour les ethnographes
Authors: Katz Jack
Published: December 2022

Les ethnographes sont particulièrement exposés aux pressions qui les poussent tout à la fois à faire puis à rompre leurs promesses de confidentialité envers leurs enquêtés, dont ils exposent la vie de manière relativement transparente. En décrivant la schizophrénie qui menace désormais d’envahir leur travail, cet article décrit les risques auxquels tous les ethnographes sont confrontés et indique une stratégie collective encore inexplorée pour résister aux pressions visant à rompre les promesses de confidentialité. Adoptant un point de vue collectif puis individuel, l’article examine les différentes étapes que comporte la recherche ethnographique, en suggérant des moyens pour minimiser les risques personnels et éthiques qu’elle implique.
Qui protéger, consentir à quoi, enquêter comment ?
Authors: Siméant-Germanos Johanna
Published: December 2022

Les sciences sociales se trouvent aujourd’hui confrontées à une série d’injonctions et de régulations au nom de l’éthique, de la science ouverte et de la protection des données. Malgré les bonnes intentions affichées, ces évolutions parfois très différentes finissent, du fait de leur combinaison, par restreindre l’autonomie de la recherche quant à ses méthodes, et à produire des paradoxes voire des double binds quant à ce qui est requis des chercheurs et chercheuses. Cette évolution affecte le contenu des travaux de sciences sociales, en générant des formes de censure qui mettent en danger la possibilité d’une recherche inventive et de qualité.
L’émergence d’une nouvelle figure de coordonnateur d’innovations dans le champ sanitaire : le chef de projet e-parcours
Authors: Aubert Isabelle , Kletz Frédéric , Sardas Jean-Claude
Published: December 2022

Les réformes conduites actuellement dans le champ de la santé, sous l’égide du paradigme du parcours, sont propices à l’émergence de nouvelles professionnalités (Bloch et Hénaut, 2014), qui se constituent autour du déploiement de dispositifs organisationnels et managériaux innovants. Le présent article vise à mieux comprendre comment ces métiers émergeant à la faveur de l’implantation d’un nouveau régime de gouvernementalité de la santé dit de « stimulation de l’exploration collective » (Cazin, 2017), contribuent effectivement à opérationnaliser les politiques publiques sanitaires. L’analyse se fonde sur l’étude de la fonction de chef de projet dans le cadre du programme e-parcours, piloté par le ministère de la santé, qui consiste à accompagner des professionnels des secteurs sanitaire, social et médico-social dans la mise en œuvre de projets d’amélioration des parcours des patients, appuyés par des services numériques de partage d’informations. À partir d’une étude longitudinale d’accompagnement et d’évaluation de la déclinaison de ce programme au niveau régional, notre recherche permet de caractériser l’émergence d’une nouvelle figure de « coordonnateur d’innovations » (Bloch et Hénaut, 2014) incarnée par les chefs de projet e-parcours, et nous conduit à préconiser, au plan stratégique, de préciser leur place au sein de la gouvernance territoriale sur la gestion des parcours de santé, et au plan opérationnel, de clarifier la conduite du projet e-parcours.
Des réseaux aux chaînes d’approvisionnement. Économies morales et performances de moralisation dans le commerce de l’or au Mali post 2012
Authors: Bolay Matthieu
Published: December 2022

Cet article interroge les recompositions récentes du champ du commerce de l’or au Mali (à Bamako) à la lumière de la compétition à laquelle se livrent des comptoirs d’exportation et des raffineries pour l’acquisition et la commercialisation d’or issu des mines artisanales dans un contexte de crise politique. Les stratégies contrastées des comptoirs, soit celles s’appuyant sur de complexes réseaux de supports et de dépendances, et des affineurs, soit celles prétendant s’inscrire dans le mouvement des chaînes d’approvisionnement dites « responsables », éclairent les enjeux de la réappropriation de la rhétorique du commerce responsable. L’article propose par ailleurs de mettre en relief les deux stratégies présentées au regard de l’actuelle ruée vers le Nord du pays, dans les zones administrées par différentes factions « rebelles ». Il pose ainsi la question de l’intégration nécessairement problématique de l’or de la ruée aux circuits commerciaux bamakois et pointe ainsi certaines ambiguïtés de la politique minière au Mali, en particulier vis-à-vis des régions du Nord du pays.
Sociologie du djihadisme français
Authors: Crettiez Xavier , Sèze Romain
Published: December 2022

Résumé Depuis une quinzaine d’années, de nombreux articles scientifiques ont tenté d’offrir une explication aux phénomènes de radicalisation à référentiels djihadistes observés en France. Une des difficultés majeures rencontrée dans ces réflexions demeure l’accès aux sources. Cet article repose sur un très important matériel – les rapports d’évaluation de plus de 350 « terroristes islamistes » placés en quartiers d’évaluation de la radicalisation (QER) – issu de la Direction de l’administration pénitentiaire permettant de proposer une analyse prosopographique fine de cette population. Près d’une centaine d’items sont exploités faisant intervenir des données sociobiographiques (âge, nationalité, lieu de résidence, niveau scolaire, niveau de revenu, origine familiale...) ou processuelles (vie maritale et sentimentale, ressenti victimaire, mode de socialisation à la violence, niveau de pratique et de connaissance religieuse...) pour aboutir à une typologie de sept figures djihadistes.
Les effets économiques de l’originalisme constitutionnel aux États-Unis
Authors: Kirat Thierry , Marty Frédéric
Published: December 2022

L’originalisme qui s’est développé dans la jurisprudence américaine depuis les années 1970 vise à fonder les décisions des juridictions sur la recherche de la signification originelle de la Constitution. Si l’originalisme vise à réduire la marge de discrétion du juge et donc à assurer la cohérence et la prévisibilité des décisions, il est souvent considéré comme porteur d’un biais socialement conservateur et économiquement pro-marché. L’article montre comment les différentes variantes d’originalisme ont effectivement conduit à donner un fondement constitutionnel à la réduction de l’interventionnisme économique fédéral et à des politiques pro-marché.
« Si vous êtes amenés à choisir un nouveau roi, je vous conseille de ne pas traverser les forêts à la recherche des bois tortueux. » L’image de Jean l’Aveugle dans les sources médiévales en Bohême
Authors: Nejedlý Martin
Published: December 2022

Les poètes épiques et chroniqueurs écrivant en moyen français ont fait du comte de Luxembourg et roi de Bohême Jean, dit l’Aveugle, l’incarnation de l’idéal du roi chevalier. À l’inverse, le portrait dressé par les sources rédigées en Bohême au xiv e  siècle, en latin ou en tchèque, est beaucoup plus sombre. On reproche au roi ses sympathies allemandes au détriment de la noblesse locale et de la langue tchèque, deux éléments qui sont au centre de l’idéal du bon roi tel qu’il se construit alors en Bohême. Surtout, on l’accuse de détourner l’argent du royaume pour financer de vaines expéditions militaires et d’inutiles tournois et voyages à l’étranger. Jean ne viendrait en Bohême que pour récolter des fonds avant de repartir pour son Luxembourg bien aimé. La cécité volontaire dont font preuve les auteurs des sources écrites en Bohême au xiv e  siècle, qui refusent de comprendre que le roi Jean avait également des devoirs au Luxembourg et dans l’Empire, est à l’origine de l’étiquette tenace de « roi étranger » qui colle à la peau de Jean l’Aveugle dans les sources ultérieures, dans la mémoire collective et, jusque récemment, dans l’historiographie tchèque.
Des navires castillans au secours de l’Italie. Deux lettres de Diego Rodríguez de Almela à propos de la croisade d’Otrante (1481)
Authors: Baloup Daniel
Published: December 2022

En 1481, en réponse à l’occupation d’Otrante par les Turcs, la flotte castillane intervient pour la première fois dans le conflit avec le sultanat ottoman. L’article propose l’analyse de deux documents contemporains relatifs à cette opération : des lettres d’un chanoine de la cathédrale de Murcie, par ailleurs connu pour son œuvre historiographique, Diego Rodríguez de Almela. Plus que sur la situation en Méditerranée, ces documents apportent un éclairage sur la façon dont un propagandiste au service des Rois catholiques exploite l’événement pour défendre, dans un contexte très local, la politique de ses souverains.
An improved reachable set estimation for time-delay linear systems with peak-bounded inputs and polytopic uncertainties via augmented zero equality approach
Authors: Lee Yonggwon , Kim Yeongjae , Lee Seunghoon , Park Junmin , Kwon Ohmin
Published: December 2022

This paper proposes an improved estimation of the reachable set (RS) analysis in linear systems with polytopic uncertainties, peak-bounded inputs and time-varying delay. Inspired by past literature, Lyapunov-Krasovskii's functionals are dealt for treating the time-delay and bounding analysis effectively. So, the proposed method focuses on Lyapunov-Krasovskii's functionals via various time-delay conditions for linear systems. Based on the Lyapunov method, some integral inequalities, useful zero equalities, and the augmented zero equality approach are introduced. The results are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities, which are easy to get optimized solutions for obtaining guaranteed minimum RS of system dynamics. Finally, two numerical examples are shown to judge that the proposed estimation method can lead to less conservative results.

On the decomposition and analysis of novel simultaneous SEIQR epidemic model
Authors: Umapathy Kalpana , Palanivelu Balaganesan , Jayaraj Renuka , Baleanu Dumitru , Dhandapani Prasantha Bharathi
Published: December 2022

In this manuscript, we are proposing a new kind of modified Susceptible Exposed Infected Quarantined Recovered model (SEIQR) with some assumed data. The novelty imposed here in the study is that we are studying simultaneously SIR, SEIR, SIQR, and SEQR pandemic models with the same data unchanged as the SEIQR model. We are taking this model a step ahead by using a non-helpful transition because it was mostly skipped in the literature. All sorts of features that are essential to study the models, such as basic reproduction number, stability analysis, and numerical simulations have been examined for this modified SEIQR model with decomposed other epidemic models.
Existence results of fractional differential equations with nonlocal double-integral boundary conditions
Authors: Yan Debao
Published: December 2022

This article presents the existence outcomes concerning a family of singular nonlinear differential equations containing Caputo's fractional derivatives with nonlocal double integral boundary conditions. According to the nature of Caputo's fractional calculus, the problem is converted into an equivalent integral equation, while two standard fixed theorems are employed to prove its uniqueness and existence results. An example is presented at the end of this paper to illustrate our obtained results.
Multi-source online transfer algorithm based on source domain selection for EEG classification
Authors: Wu Zizhuo , She Qingshan , Hou Zhelong , Li Zhenyu , Tian Kun , Ma Yuliang
Published: December 2022

The non-stationary nature of electroencephalography (EEG) signals and individual variability makes it challenging to obtain EEG signals from users by utilizing brain-computer interface techniques. Most of the existing transfer learning methods are based on batch learning in offline mode, which cannot adapt well to the changes generated by EEG signals in the online situation. To address this problem, a multi-source online migrating EEG classification algorithm based on source domain selection is proposed in this paper. By utilizing a small number of labeled samples from the target domain, the source domain selection method selects the source domain data similar to the target data from multiple source domains. After training a classifier for each source domain, the proposed method adjusts the weight coefficients of each classifier according to the prediction results to avoid the negative transfer problem. This algorithm was applied to two publicly available motor imagery EEG datasets, namely, BCI Competition Ⅳ Dataset Ⅱa and BNCI Horizon 2020 Dataset 2, and it achieved average accuracies of 79.29 and 70.86%, respectively, which are superior to those of several multi-source online transfer algorithms, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
Global existence for reaction-diffusion evolution equations driven by the $ {\text{p}} $-Laplacian on manifolds
Authors: Grillo Gabriele , Meglioli Giulia , Punzo Fabio
Published: December 2022

We consider reaction-diffusion equations driven by the $ p $-Laplacian on noncompact, infinite volume manifolds assumed to support the Sobolev inequality and, in some cases, to have $ L^2 $ spectrum bounded away from zero, the main example we have in mind being the hyperbolic space of any dimension. It is shown that, under appropriate conditions on the parameters involved and smallness conditions on the initial data, global in time solutions exist and suitable smoothing effects, namely explicit bounds on the $ L^\infty $ norm of solutions at all positive times, in terms of $ L^q $ norms of the data. The geometric setting discussed here requires significant modifications w.r.t. the Euclidean strategies.
A mathematical model of anthrax epidemic with behavioural change
Authors: Baloba Elijah B. , Seidu Baba
Published: December 2022

Anthrax is an acute infectious zonootic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, a gram-positive, rod-shaped non-motile bacterium. It is a disease that mainly affects herbivorous animals of both domestic and wildlife, and causes devastating spillover infections into the human population. Anthrax epidemic results in serious and fatal infections in both animals and humans globally. In this paper, a non-linear differential equation model is proposed to study the transmission dynamics of anthrax in both animal and human populations taking into accounts saturation effect within the animal population and behavioural change of the general public towards the outbreak of the disease. The model is shown to have two unique equilibrium points, namely; the anthrax-free and endemic equilibrium points. The anthrax-free equilibrium point is globally asymptotically stable whenever the reproduction number is less than unity $ (\mathcal{R}_{0} < 1) $ and the endemic equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable whenever $ \mathcal{R}_{0} > 1 $. Sensitivity analysis suggests that the most influential factors on the spread of anthrax are the infection force $ \beta_{a} $, pathogen shedding rate $ \xi_{a} $, recruitment rate $ \Lambda_a $, natural death rate in animals $ \mu_{a} $ and recovery rate in animals $ \phi_{a} $. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the saturation effect and behavioural change of the general public towards the outbreak of the disease increase the size of the susceptible population, reduce the size of the infective population and the pathogen levels in the environment. Findings of this research show that anthrax epidemic can be controlled by reducing the rate of anthrax infection and pathogen shedding rate, while increasing the rate of pathogen decay through proper environmental hygiene as well as increasing treatment to ensure higher recovery rate in infected animals. The results also show that positive behavioural change of the general public through mass awareness interventions can help control the spread of the disease.

Microstructure and mechanical properties on friction stir processed TIG welded dissimilar joints of AA5052-H32 and AA5083-H111 alloys by grey approach
Authors: Chanakyan Chandrasekaran , Prabu Dhanaraj Antony , Alagarsamy Sivasamy , Martin Charles Mark
Published: December 2022

In this investigation, the mechanical behaviour and microstructural examination of friction stir processed (FSP) Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welded aluminium dissimilar alloys has been studied. The research is proposed to enhance the mechanical characteristics of the aluminium alloy 5052-H32 and aluminium alloy 5083-H111 TIG FSP welded joints. Initially, the TIG welding was done to join aluminium alloy 5052-H32 and aluminium alloy 5083-H111 by employing a ER5356 filler rod. TIG welding is performed by using the following parameters: tungsten electrode diameter (2.4 mm), Current (170 A) and a shielding gas flow rate (argon) (11 l·min-1). Secondarily, the FSP is carried out on TIG welded aluminium alloy 5052-H32 and aluminium alloy 5083-H111 by using different tool rotation speeds (850 to 1050 rpm), tool traverse speeds (24 to 32 mm·min-1) and different number of passes (1 to 3) with a cylindrical pin less tool. The FSP parameters are designed by the Taguchi L9 array to compute the optimized parameters. The tensile strength, microhardness and % of elongation are determined for a total of nine specimens. Finally, the grey relational analysis (GRA) is employed to find out the best FSP parameter out of the set of FSP parameters. The optimal parameters of FSP are a tool rotation speed of 950 rpm, tool traverse speed of 28 mm/min and number of passes of 3. The number of passes are the most influencing factor when compared to other two FSP parameters.

The present research focused on exploring the role that the press plays in the recovery procedure of the tourism sector in times of pandemic crisis. Towards achieving this goal, selected sources of the Greek press were in-depth analysed to evaluate Greek Government’s management of the resumption of Greek tourism following the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the summer of year 2020. Content Analysis was applied to the editorial columns of four Greek daily newspapers to examine whether and to what extent the political affiliation of these newspapers influenced their perception of the decision-making process and the management concerning the resumption of tourism by the Greek government. Τhe research further explores the ways these newspapers attempt to reshape government’s narrative towards the restarting of Greek tourism.
Patrimonio industriale, nuovo strumento di promozione olimipica ? Un’analisi comparativa
Authors: Roux Helena
Published: December 2022

Di fronte alle controversie che circondano i Giochi Olimpici (GO), si va verso una maggiore integrazione delle problematiche locali, in termini economici, sociali e ambientali. Associare l’accoglienza di un simile evento alle politiche di rigenerazione urbana sembra essere un modo per inserirli in un periodo progettuale più lungo, oltre che per nutrirne la memoria. Presentati quali motori di trasformazione, contribuiscono a promuovere questi spazi reinvestiti e riqualificati, che meglio corrispondono all’immagine della città globale competitiva. Lo sviluppo delle strategie turistiche scaturisce da questa promozione territoriale, e si configura come uno degli sbocchi economici della transizione post-industriale. In contrappunto, il riuso degli edifici industriali alimenta l’immagine di un’eredità positiva e duratura per i Giochi Olimpici, come inneschi per il rinnovamento di aree dismesse in crisi – come si può evincere dalla narrazione olimpica ufficiale. Attraverso l’analisi di tre casi di studio, questo articolo si propone di identificare come lo sviluppo del turismo si inserisce in queste strategie che collegano il patrimonio industriale e il patrimonio olimpico.
Promoting Cultural Competence, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice in Higher Education With Ludic Pedagogies
Authors: Hayes Catherine
Published: December 2022

Pedagogical creativity is an opportunity to innovate, create agency, and raise awareness of critical commentary on issues which are often regarded as being central to the concepts of social justice and identity within the context of transformative learning. This chapter provides an insight into the theoretical and practical basis of gamification and its usefulness in explicating the meaning that others ascribe to their individual experiences of the world and how they interpret them. HEIs remain a central forum and situationally responsive focus to highlight those issues which remain topical, yet often unaddressed. This affords a lens of intellectual, rationale articulation of what matters – lives lived in a world still tainted with injustice and the lack of society's impetus and appetite for progressive change. Gamification is posited as a means of facilitating freedom of expression for individuals and collective communities, for whom voicing personal beliefs and standpoints has been a barrier, for rationale debate on issues of oppression and the advocacy of agency in practice.
Barriers and Solutions for STEM Students From Rural Areas
Authors: Dixon Carmen S.
Published: December 2022

This chapter explores the state of rural science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and its importance to rural communities today. After defining “rural,” barriers to rural STEM students are discussed as “student barriers,” “institutional barriers,” and “societal barriers,” including poverty, underfunding, lack of internet, lack of role models, drug and alcohol abuse, and the exodus of students leaving rural areas for jobs. Battling the barriers and improving the access of opportunities for rural STEM students, the author supports Marietta and Marietta's (2020) analysis of STEM education in rural schools and examines its use in rural school districts with a summary and practical experience from the author. The chapter culminates with advice for “rural practitioners” or anyone who is employed or looking employment with rural school districts in STEM fields about how to be successful and make a difference for students in a rural school.
Exploring the Relationship Between Minority Status, Class Size, Per Pupil Expenditure, and Student Achievement
Authors: Rugutt John
Published: December 2022

This study used hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) approach to investigate relationships between student achievement, minority status, per pupil operating expenditure (OPEX), and class size with a sample of 83,738 high school students from a midwestern state. The HLM results indicate significant differences among schools (χ2 = 22,556.99, df = 595), p<0.001, with an intra-class correlation of 0.16 indicating that 16% of variance in achievement was among schools. With minority status as Level 1 and OPEX and class size as Level 2 predictors, the variance accounted for in mean school achievement was 48.5% indicating that these variables accounted for 48.5% of variance in achievement. The reliability of the sample mean in any school was 0.923. All the model predictors varied among schools and cross-level interactions showed main effects of class size and OPEX were significant while the slope intercepts for OPEX were significant while that of class size was not.

With 71% of students with disabilities (SWD) eligible for speech/language services and dismal outcomes in reading for SWD, the exceptional student education program at a large Florida university created a partnership with the speech/language program to educate new practitioners who are well prepared to support SWD's language and literacy needs. This chapter describes the creation of a partnership undergraduate program at a large Florida university that prepares students for special education and language disorders. The non-certification track in the Exceptional Education Program features coursework in the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders, which is not typically available to education majors. Students graduate with an undergraduate degree in exceptional student education and a certificate in language development and disorders after the program. The authors present specific course and program components and the theoretical framework anchoring the partnership.

Published: December 2022

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the development and implementation of a currently running, interdisciplinary program between school psychology and special education within a Hispanic-serving institution. Due to critical shortages of school psychologists and special educators across the country, novel practices in interdisciplinary collaborative training may aid in recruitment and retention efforts while enhancing service delivery for racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse (RELD) students with high intensity needs. The chapter highlights approaches and components including (1) focus on an equity-based and integrated framework for personnel preparation, (2) recruitment and retention activities to attract diverse scholars, (3) planning and delivery of shared collaborative coursework and field experiences, (4) reflection of the lessons learned, and (5) recommendations to other preparation programs in providing interdisciplinary training and support to RELD personnel.

This chapter highlights Project BEAMS (Behavioral Emotional and Mental Health Supports in Schools), an interdisciplinary personnel preparation program at San Diego State University. Project BEAMS is a five-year training grant funded by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) to improve the preparation of school psychologists (SP) and special educators (SE) to deliver intensive, yet coordinated, interventions to address behavior and mental health. This chapter describes the training components and collaborative learning activities (e.g., core research-based courses, monthly project seminars, clinical practicum, summer institutes, and co-attendance at research conferences) that enable special educators and school psychologists to form teams that enhance academic, social-emotional, and behavioral outcomes for students with disabilities.
Learner Engagement in the Metaverse
Authors: Çiğdem Harun , Öncü Semiral
Published: December 2022

Learner engagement, or immersion, or participation, is an important indicator of school-related success and even self-achievement related actions. So, what precisely does “learner engagement” entail, one would wonder? This is a valid query that scholars in the field of education commonly discuss. Given that it is impacted by several circumstances, engagement is complicated and hard to describe. It is important to distinguish this from simple participation. Engagement entails active involvement. Despite the complexity to define it, three major kinds of engagement have been identified: behavioral engagement, emotional engagement, and cognitive engagement. Metaverse has repercussions for all three. In this chapter, the authors discuss the metaverse from the overall student engagement perspective, as a function of a number of factors including communities of inquiry. The authors also argue that engagement in the metaverse largely depends on self-regulation, which is another factor closely tied to academic engagement. The authors provide and synthesize current educational metaverse practices.

Published: December 2022

This chapter aimed to reveal how the analysis, design, and development processes should be carried out while history teaching environments are being developed in 3D virtual environments and to set a concrete definition of teaching process in 3D virtual environments. In the history teaching session, the participants were represented in the 3D virtual environment developed in OpenSim simultaneously with their own avatars. They role-played the historical characters and actively participated in the events of that period by using historical reenactment technique in historical spaces. Additionally, this chapter describes the development process of a 3D virtual teaching environment from the design of the teaching process to the implementation. The procedures performed during the preparation of the 3D virtual teaching environment are presented with a flowchart. It is expected that this flowchart, suggested as a 3D virtual instructional design model, will guide researchers through the process of developing teaching implementations in 3D virtual environments in future studies.

Published: December 2022

Digital reality technologies have the potential to transform the fields of education, remote work, marketing and economy, and the entertainment sector and begin to create an information communication paradigm. We can say that the new paradigm has begun to take shape around the Metaverse concept. This study was a literature review that investigated using the Metaverse in the field of mathematics education. The scope of this review was the studies, including the “Metaverse” keyword and “mathematics,” “mathematics education,” “teaching mathematics,” or “mathematics learning” keywords, which include the studies listed in Web of Science, Scopus, Academia, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar. The authors examined the purpose of the studies, the scope of the studies, using technology in the studies, the research method of the studies, and the findings of the studies on teaching mathematics in the Metaverse environment. They presented a discussion of the possible advantages and disadvantages that mathematics education could offer.
Online Learning Within Universities in the African Continent During COVID-19 and Beyond the Pandemic
Authors: Naidoo Vannie
Published: December 2022

The concept of digitization of African universities is not a new concept. Online learning within universities was a highly contentious issue causing heated debates over the years. The COVID-19 pandemic fast tracked online learning within African universities, and 2020 saw a new online pedagogy of teaching and learning that replaced a traditional classroom scenario with a virtual classroom within African universities. To prevent the spread of the virus, government and university leadership within many African countries saw online learning as the only alternative that could keep the university students and staff safe during the pandemic. The major objective of this chapter is to unpack challenges faced by African universities when they migrated to a virtual learning platform. The opportunity of added metaverse technologies into online programs will also be addressed. The researcher will highlight the challenges faced by the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) and provide insights on what this South African university did to manage these challenges.
Context of Social Entrepreneurship and Background
Authors: İyigün N. Öykü
Published: December 2022

Social entrepreneurship has been the subject of considerable interest in the literature. It has become a global phenomenon by addressing the basic needs of humans, which are neglected, and enriching communities and societies. This chapter introduces the context of social entrepreneurship and its background; it continues by exploring the related terms and characteristics of social entrepreneurship. Over the years, social entrepreneurship has emerged as a distinctive context by integrating the resourcefulness of traditional entrepreneurship with the compelling drive to address social problems. Social entrepreneurship needs to be properly defined and it requires a theoretical framework that links it to the theory of entrepreneurship. The purpose of this chapter is to review and extend the current literature by providing insight about social entrepreneurship in the spectrum of entrepreneurship through value creation. As a result, this chapter suggests implications for social entrepreneurs and boundaries for social entrepreneurship.
Social Entrepreneurship Typologies
Authors: Pérez Andrea , López-Gutiérrez Carlos , Fernández-Laviada Ana
Published: December 2022

Despite the increasing research in the field of social entrepreneurship (SE), unfortunately there is not yet consensus on its conceptualization. The main points of disagreement are related to the business mission and to the source of income. Based on these two dimensions and a bottom-up approach, this chapter contributes to previous literature by proposing and empirically exploring a categorization of three types of social entrepreneurs—socially responsible entrepreneur (SRE), social enterprise entrepreneur (SEE), and social initiative entrepreneur (SIE)—which is applied empirically to explore the social entrepreneurs' personal characteristics (gender, age, and education), similarities, and differences. Multinomial logistic regressions are applied on an international sample of GEM data that includes 11,280 commercial entrepreneurs and 3,373 social entrepreneurs. The findings of the study will permit researchers and practitioners to understand previous empirical findings on social entrepreneurship more clearly and to advance in the study of this evolving phenomenon.
Formal and Non-Formal Education
Authors: Itelvino Lucimar da Silva , Rezende da Costa Priscila
Published: December 2022

Social entrepreneurs convert social problems into opportunities, create businesses, and transform entrepreneurial experience into social changes. Therefore, it is important to understand the formation of social entrepreneurs as creators of social innovations. This chapter tries to understand how the formation of social entrepreneurs occurs. The authors analyzed the narratives of the life stories of social entrepreneurs in Brazil. The results showed that the formation of social entrepreneurs is linked to their learning spaces and contexts, their leadership trajectory, and their motivations to undertake social entrepreneurship, as these factors are permeated by formal and non-formal education. The formation of social entrepreneurs results in the development of innovative products, processes, or methods that improve the quality of life and reduce inequality, leading to exponential social innovations.
