REVIEW on FRAUD DETECTION in CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS USING MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES
Authors: Madhu S.
Published: January 2022

HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning is the technology of automotive and inside environmental comfort. HVAC system design is based on thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics. A cooling tower is a specialized heat exchanger in which air and water are brought into direct contact with each other to reduce the water's temperature. It operates on the principle of removing heat from water by evaporating a small portion of water that is recalculated through the unit. The mixing of warm water and cooler air releases latent heat of vaporization, causing the water to cool. Cooling tower piping systems have evolved over the years from simplistic, dedicated hydraulic loops that lacked complexity to large-volume, multiplexed systems that offer peak operational efficiencies. The evolution of a more sophisticated system is due in part to the advent of advanced controls and the operational flexibility of modern chillers, cooling towers. Cooling tower piping systems are designed to be streamlined to keep capital costs low while yielding the most energy-efficient solution. The effects on the performances of cooling tower are determined by following parameters: (1) flow rate of water (2) diameter of pipe

Published: January 2022

In the “Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation” database, Antananarivo has two distinct datasets from two stations. Thirty-four years separate the two datasets. This study aims on the one hand to depict the variations of the water stable isotopes composition of precipitations from the two stations and understand their origins, mainly in relation to meteorological factors. On the other hand, the Antananarivo data are compared with regional and international data to identify other sources of isotope composition variability in precipitation. Isotope records showed that after thirty-four-year gap, summer and winter (the two main seasons) precipitations are more enriched in heavy isotopes. The precipitation amount fluctuation would mostly contribute to this temporal variation. Opposite to summer and winter precipitations, inter-season rainfalls have similar isotope values after thirty-four years. The two stations are geographically close and the spatial aspect is therefore negligible since there are no latitude nor altitude effects on the isotope composition of precipitations. Regarding the second order parameter d-excess, the monthly mean values from both stations are higher than 100/00 and could indicate moisture recycling. The comparison with regional/international data showed that the isotope variability in precipitation is primarily due to precipitation amount effect, different moisture source, the stations distance from it and the change of meteorological factors along the moisture trajectory.
Research on Black-Litterman Index Enhancement Strategy——Based on the Ledoit-Wolf Compression Estimation Method to Optimize the CSI 500 Index Enhancement Strategy
Authors: Zeng Huixian , Zeng Jinguang
Published: January 2022

Financial risks may often lead to significant losses. A reasonable capital management model can prevent financial risks and enhance financial services to the real economy. The Black-Litterman model can reduce risks through asset allocation. This paper uses the Black-Litterman model to construct an enhanced strategy applied to the CSI 500 Index, and selects the backtest from December 1, 2019 to December 1, 2021. Through the strategy backtest, it can be found that: whether it is considered or not Transaction costs, using analysts’ consensus target price as the input point of view of the BL model, can provide excess returns for the index enhancement strategy under relatively stable conditions within the sample interval, and improve the sharpness ratio, information ratio, maximum drawdown, etc. Within the risk-return parameters.

In order to solve the problem of model instability and extreme values of configuration weights in the first step, this paper adjusts the covariance based on the Leodit-wolf compression estimation, thereby optimizing the exponential enhancement model. The backtest results showed that although the volatility and maximum drawdown of the optimized enhanced index model increased slightly, it showed a higher excess return rate and information ratio. Therefore, the BL model optimized based on the compression estimation method can make the model applicable to a wider range, and can be extended to large-scale assets and multi-asset allocation, so that investors have more choices in quantitative investment strategies.

«David perseguido y montes de Gelboé». Novedades estilométricas ante una atribución dudosa
Authors: Martínez Carro Elena
Published: January 2022

El corpus de las comedias bíblicas áureas del Siglo de Oro español es muy limitado respecto al ingente número de dramas creados en esa centuria. Entre sus títulos existen algunos de dudosa autoría como el caso del David perseguido y montes de Gelboé, inicialmente atribuida a Lope de Vega. La comedia, impresa solo en ejemplares sueltos y en su mayoría del siglo XVIII, ha sido siempre objeto de dudas en las investigaciones de los estudiosos lopescos debido a su estilo y versificación. Los avances estilométricos han permitido dirimir una posible autoría de la comedia hacia Antonio Martínez de Meneses, autor del ciclo calderoniano. El análisis estilométrico queda avalado por elestudio de la obra de Martínez de Meneses, donde la comedia se encuadra dentro de su léxico, estilo y tipo de versificación propio de los dramaturgos seguidores de Calderón.

Authors: Poberezhets Julia , Kupchuk Ihor
Published: January 2022

The aim of the experiment was to research the productivity, slaughter qualities and broiler chicken meat quality using a probiotic feed supplement. The research objectives were solved experimentally using zootechnical and statistical research methods. It was found that the probiotics application in the feeding of broiler chickens increased live weight by 11.9%, the average daily gain was higher by 12.1%, absolute by 12.2% and reduced feed consumption per 1 kg increase by 8.9% compared with control. Additional consumption of probiotic feed supplement by broiler chickens increases the pre-slaughter live weight by 12.0%, the weight of ungutted carcass by 12.1%, semi-gutted carcass by 9.9% and gutted carcass by 13.3% relative to control. Consumption of probiotics by broilers increased the level of total moisture by 1.3% in the pectoral muscles, and hygro-moisture was higher by 0.2% in the thigh muscles; the amount of nitrogen was higher by 0.2% compared to the control group.
The influence of age on the occurrence of internal parasites in perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) from Lake Góreckie in Wielkopolski National Park

Published: January 2022

The European perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) is a common freshwater fish which is widely distributed in Europe and Asia and has been successfully introduced to New Zealand and Australia. It is the intermediate and definitive host of many parasites, especially endoparasites, such as trematodes, cestodes and nematodes (Bikhovskaya-Pavlovskaya and Kulakova,1987; Carney and Dick, 1999; Behrmann-Godel and Brinker, 2005; Wierzbicka et al., 2005; Kuchta et al., 2009). Information concerning the parasites of perch can be found in widely published literature (Rolbiecki, 2006; Halmetoja et al., 2000), but still little is known about aspects such as the age dynamics of infections with endoparasites. Parasites provide a great deal of biological information about their host, regarding migration, differences in diet, and food web structure (Williams et al., 1992; MacKenzie et al., 1995; Marcogliese et al., 2006). On the other hand, parasitism may influence the behaviour of fish (hosts), resulting in changes in their habitat and increasing vulnerability to predators (Seppälä et al., 2008). Infection with parasites increases the relative risk of mortality in the host (Behrmann-Godel and Brinker, 2005). In this paper we determined the occurrence of parasites in perch from Lake Góreckie, Wielkopolski National Park. Perch is common in water bodies and has a diverse diet, and for these reasons it is the definitive or intermediate host of many parasite species. Therefore, this fish species was selected for our study. The influence of age on the occurrence of parasites in perch has not yet been examined in detail.

The aim of this study was to answer the following questions:

• What parasites occur in perch in Lake Góreckie?

• Which species of endoparasites are more frequently observed in perch in Lake Góreckie?

• Is there a correlation between the occurrence of the endoparasite and the age of perch?

Ustawa o podatku dochodowym od osób fizycznych
w świetle postulatów równości i sprawiedliwości
opodatkowania
Authors: Radzikowski Krzysztof
Published: January 2022

Obciążenia dochodów osobistych są zasadniczym polem dyskusji na temat postulatów równości i sprawiedliwości
opodatkowania. Dyskusja ta ogniskuje się wokół dylematu podatku liniowego albo progresywnego. Mimo
nominalnie progresywnych stawek – podatek dochodowy od osób fizycznych wraz ze składkami na ubezpieczenia
społeczne i zdrowotne (tzw. klin podatkowy) są zbliżone do rozkładu liniowego z wyraźnym maksimum w środkowych
przedziałach rozpiętości dochodów. Wysokość obciążeń zależy przede wszystkim od źródła przychodu –
rysuje się wyraźne uprzywilejowanie działalności gospodarczej względem pracy najemnej, zwłaszcza w kodeksowych
formach zatrudnienia. Sytuacja ta rodzi istotne wątpliwości z perspektywy postulatów równości i sprawiedliwości
opodatkowania, a nie rozwiewają ich planowane zmiany w ramach tzw. Polskiego Ładu.

Understanding cultural aspects of deaf communities in México towards the codesign of automatic sign language processing systems
Authors: Prietch Soraia Silva , Sánchez J. Alfredo , Guerrero García Josefina
Published: January 2022

This paper reports findings from a study through which we seek to understand the socio-economic and cultural context of deaf communities in a city in México in order to inform the codesign of automatic sign language processing systems. We conducted eleven interviews in two school settings with three deaf persons who are sign language users and eight hearing persons who have close relationships with deaf persons. We designed interview scripts to collect data from deaf persons, parents, and sign language teachers and interpreters. In addition to demographic data, we collected data on experience with technology for communication use as well as salient cultural aspects. Key findings from our research relate to perceptions of study participants about themselves and their context: Socio-economic aspects are consistent with previous studies; cultural traits are central for communication, denote a strong sense of identity, and highlight the role of sight and perception. We also report on reflections that were facilitated by the application of existing schemes and frameworks, which allowed us to learn about communication hardships and workarounds, as well as the most important values for the community. These findings shed light on a path we want to further investigate, which aims to understand whether variations exist in the basic needs of deaf signers with respect to the codesign of ASLP systems, independently of the countries where they live.
Die Beweissituation im Recht der selbstständigen Einziehung in Deutschland und England
Authors: Wilfert Nils Elias
Published: January 2022

How to prove the illegal origin of assets is one of the most controversial issues of confiscation law. The state is faced with the problem as to how to deal with assets which have prima facie an illegal origin, but for which full proof of the criminal act and thus of the illegal origin cannot be provided. When introducing the non-conviction-based confiscation, Germany was guided by foreign legal systems, such as England and Wales. This book examines the evidential situation both under German and English law by way of a legal comparison.
Die gemeinsame Haftung der Beteiligten in der eigenverwalteten Insolvenz von AG und GmbH
Authors: Hertelt Paul
Published: January 2022

The self-administered insolvency of AGs and GmbHs has particular advantages, but also liability risks for the parties involved. A decisive factor for a comprehensive assessment of these risks is the structure of liability in the internal relationship between the parties involved, which is the subject of this study.

First, the participants in self-administration, their rights and obligations as well as the respective bases of liability are presented before the structure of liability in the internal relationship is examined in more detail. For this purpose, the possible constellations of liability of several participants are elaborated and the internal distribution of liability shares for these constellations is subjected to an in-depth examination and systematization.

In this book, the author deals with the current prudential regulation of liquidity risks. Following a comprehensive analysis of the liquidity requirements across all three pillars in the Basel framework, the book examines, among other things, the extent to which the quantitative liquidity requirements of the first Basel pillar can ensure adequate liquidity provision and whether the qualitative liquidity requirements of the second Basel pillar are suitable as a complementary set of measures. Finally, the book also includes a detailed assessment of the liquidity requirements in the overall context of the Basel framework and exam-ines the extent to which the regulatory standards form a self-contained overall concept.
Die Gleichstellungsbeauftragte
Authors: Hillermann Tessa Maria
Published: January 2022

As a legal instrument, equal opportunity officers implement gender equality policies in public authorities. What is their function within the internal governance structure of public authorities? What is the rationale behind equal opportunity officers? There are diverging views concerning these questions among various actors both within and outside public administration, including among judges and academics. This poses challenges to those holding such offices. This study examines whether the primary function of the equal opportunity officer is the representation of interests of civil servants, institutionalized self-monitoring or a sui generis function that deviates from previously discussed concepts.
Der Fall Sürücü
Authors: Tiz Enis
Published: January 2022

The murder of Hatun Sürücü on 7th February 2005 left behind many scars that still affect our society today. A young woman is openly executed in the street by her younger brother with three shots to the head ‘in the name of honour’ because she lived ‘like a German’. The case of Sürücü and the social and legal problems associated with it have lost none of their topicality even after almost sixteen years. This study is not limited to dogmatic points of view, but reaches far beyond that into the criminology, especially the criminal sociology, of the case. The author argues for increased preventive measures, greater consideration of intercultural understanding in legal training and mandatory ethics classes.

Authors: Reis Felipe Souza , Souza Sirius Oliveira
Published: January 2022

A sociedade está distribuída sobre um ambiente que possui características evolutivas (ACSELRAD, 1992). Nesse quadro, cabe aos componentes sociais dotar de instrumentos que possam analisar a complexidade sistêmica deste ambiente, bem como sua singularidade (LIMBERGER, 2006). Nesse viés, a cartografia geomorfológica constitui-se em um importante instrumento para compreensão do espaço (QUEIROZ, 2012). Dessa forma, este trabalho tem o objetivo de mapear a compartimentação geomorfológica da área urbana do município de Senhor do Bonfim – BA, enquanto subsídio ao planejamento do uso e ocupação da terra. Para isso, utilizou-se enquanto alternativa analítica fotografias áreas em formato digital, em escala 1:70.000, adquiridas gratuitamente da CBPM (2020), bem como dados do Bing Maps Aerial e da Carta Geológica e Topográfica de Senhor do Bonfim, disponibilizada pela SEI (2015). Entre os resultados, os pedimentos constituem-se o compartimento predominante, cobrindo 91,1% do perímetro urbano, as planícies fluviais apresentaram total de 7,9%, e por fim os inselbergues com 1%. Este tipo de trabalho se torna importante à medida que o mapeamento dos compartimentos geomorfológicos oferece tanto à comunidade, quanto as autoridades competentes, escopo considerável na adoção de medidas estruturais de proteção ambiental.

Published: January 2022

Background: Premixedcalcium silicate-based sealers are ready-to-use, injectable materials with advantageous biological properties that create environment favorable for periapical tissues repair and health. The aim of our study was to examine the radiopacities of premixed calcium silicate-based sealers:TotalFill BCSealer, EndoSequence BC Sealer, Ceraseal, Bio-C Sealer and to compare them with epoxy-basedsealer, AH Plus. Material and methods: Three specimens (2 mm thick and 5 mm in diameter) of each sealer were radiographed using charge-coupled device-baseddigital sensor (Trophy Radiology, Cedex, France) along with an aluminum stepwedge reference.For radiopacity determination, a graph of the logarithm of aluminum thickness versus radiographic density was plotted and a calibration curve was generated. Radiopacities were assessed from the graph and presented as millimeters of aluminum per millimeter of material (mmAl).ANOVA with a post hoc Tukey test was used for statistical analysis and significance was set at 0.05. Results: Radiopacity values of EndoSequence BC Sealer and Bio-C Sealerwere significantly lower than radiopacities of Ceraseal and AH Plus. Differences in values between EndoSequence BC Sealer and Bio-C Sealer as well as between Ceraseal and AH Plus were nonsignificant. TotalFill BC Sealer was nonsignificantly different from all other sealers. Conclusion: Premixed calcium silicate-based endodontic sealers evaluated in our study had radiopacity values higher than 9 mmAl, in ascending order,from Bio-C Sealer, EndoSequence BC Sealer, TotalFill BC Sealer to Ceraseal.
Traumatic intrusion of primary tooth: a case Report
Authors: Zabokova-Bilbilova Efka , Stefanovska Emilija
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Anterior teeth are of utmost importance with regard to chewing, speaking, and beauty. Therefore, any traumatic dental injury has psychologically undesirable effects on children and their parents. The present study reported a case of a traumatic dental injury induced by falling off a chair and referral to an emergency department as well as measures taken for dental reconstruction and patient's improvement. Case Report: Parents with a 3-year-old girl came to the Clinic for Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry at University Dental Clinic Center "St. Panteleimon", Skopje with injuries to her face and oral structures resulting from a fall from a chair. The extraoral examination revealed a laceration on the submental skin surface and an injury to the upper lip. The child was examined and it was found that the maxillary left primary central incisor was compressed in the alveoli. The surrounding soft tissue was injured. Intraorally, the anterior segment of the maxilla showed injury consistent with low-velocity blunt-force trauma, including several lacerations of the gingival tissues. The patient's maxillary left central incisor was intruded from the socket. Conclusion: The prognosis of many cases of dental injuries is time-dependent. The intrusion of a tooth can have ramifications and the possibility that it has been fully intruded should be considered. The use of a radiograph is of great importance for the correct diagnosis of deciduous tooth intrusion.

Published: January 2022

Introduction:In addition to the characteristic clinical picture of respiratory infection, patients with COVID-19 can also be diagnosed with oral manifestations. Aim: The aim of this study was to review current literature for the prevalence of changes in the oral cavity i.e., the presence of oral symptoms in patients with COVID-19, in order to indicate that oral manifestations may occur due to viral infection with SARS-CoV-2. Methods: Important information relevant to the study was obtained by searching the available electronic PubMed and Google Scholar database. Results: Oral lesions were found in different locations in patients with COVID-19: tongue mucosa (dorsum and lateral sides of the tongue), buccal mucosa, hard and soft palate, inner lip and gingiva. The most common were ulcerations in different parts of the oral cavity. It is still unclear whether oral lesions in SARS-CoV-2 virus infection were a consequence of the primary effect of the virus itself or a secondary manifestation of the infection. The high presence of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in oral epithelial cells of the tongue and salivary glands indicates that the oral cavity may be particularly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Taste disorder is the most common oral symptom in patients with COVID-19. Conclusion: Oral lesions, xerostomia, taste disorders can occur in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Therefore, a comprehensive intraoral examination is necessary in order to determine changes in the oral cavity and apply proper treatment.

The goal of this study was to define the population parameters of the body fat percentage of residents of the Republic of Serbia. The sample was a total of 8145 respondents, of which 3051 (37.5%) were women with an average age of 32.0 ± 9.8 years, and the rest of 5094 (62.5%) were men with an average age of 32.9 ± 11.3 years. The average value of PBF for the women subsample was 28.46 ± 9.19% and 18.00 ± 7.98% for the men subsample. The results of factorial variance analysis have shown that there is a statistically significant difference (p<0.001) of PBF values regarding sex (F=1243.719) and respondent's age (F=508.469) as well as the interaction of factors "age" and "sex" (F=22.593). The regression analysis has shown that age explains 82.09% of variance regarding the age function for women and 85.08% of variance regarding the age function for men, taking into consideration that the function that best describes the variance PBF for women is linear and polynomial for men. Both sex and age are determined as factors that influence over-increasing the values of PBF, while the most critical groups where PBF crosses critical values are the groups of women over 50 years of age (the average prevalence of overweight and obese is 37.81% and 23.89% respectively) and men over 60 years of age (the average prevalence of overweight and obese is 25.48% and 38.36% respectively).

O solo, base da produção agrícola é um recurso que embora disponível em grandes proporções vem sofrendo impactos negativos os quais comprometem significativamente sua qualidade, tornando-o inadequado para os distintos usos. Diante do exposto, objetivou-se compilar os principais autores e publicações a respeito da poluição dos solos no Nordeste Brasileiro, obtendo-se o perfil da produção científica. Realizou-se uma abordagem exploratória-descritiva baseada na análise bibliométrica, com a finalidade de construir mapas científicos com base em dados bibliográficos. As bases se concentram em redes de pesquisadores, redes de coautoria, palavras-chave que ocorrem em publicações, dentre outras informações. A base de dados utilizada para pesquisa foi a Web of Science (WOS). A bibliografia utilizada na pesquisa foi analisada no mês de junho de 2020. Sendo selecionadas pela utilização de palavras chaves expecíficas na seção de busca WOS. Avaliação relacionada ao ano de publicação, áreas de pesquisa, periódicos, principais agencias financiadoras,  além das principais redes de citação, acoplamento e co-citação bibliografica pela organização de grupos (cluster), gerando uma perspectiva qualitativa. No início foram encontrados 585 artigos, dos quais, 263 foram destinados a etapa de análise de dados. O número de pesquisas voltadas para a temática 'poluição de solos no Nordeste' cresceu de maneira significativa nos últimos 34 anos, contudo ainda sim é necessário o desenvolvimento de mais estudos relacionados à problemática, uma vez que o uso exaustivo dos solos ano após ano é um fator preponderante sobre os impactos negativos causados aos mesmos.

Published: January 2022

Purpose: In patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM) before the age of 12 months, there is an increasing recognition of diabetes caused by single-gene mutations, also known as monogenic diabetes of infancy or neonatal DM (NDM). This study aimed to classify patients at Alexandria University Children’s Hospital (AUCH) diagnosed with infantile-onset DM into type 1 DM (T1DM) or NDM and to detect differences in molecular characteristics of NDM patients at our center in comparison to other countries.Methods: This retrospective/prospective observational study was conducted on 39 patients diagnosed with infantile-onset DM (age of onset ≤1 year) at AUCH from January 2003 to November 2020. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to age at the onset of DM: ≤6 months and >6–12 months. Molecular testing was done in patients diagnosed with DM at ≤6 months and those with negative autoantibodies.Results: Twelve patients were diagnosed with DM at age ≤6 months and 27 patients were diagnosed between 6–12 months. Seventeen patients (43.6%) had T1DM, whereas 9 patients (23.1%) had genetically confirmed NDM, including 3 harboring novel mutations. The most common genetic causes of NDM were EIF2AK3 mutations (n=3), followed by KCNJ11 (n=2) and ABCC8 (n=2). Other mutations included SLC19A2 (n=1) and INS (n=1). Three patients with potassium ATP channel mutations were transferred from insulin to sulfonylurea treatment.Conclusion: It is essential to identify patients with NDM clinically and confirm the diagnosis by molecular testing to distinguish them from T1DM as it helps in refining their management, predicting prognosis, and guiding genetic counseling.
A scoping review of freight rail noise and vibration impacts on domestic animal health and welfare
Authors: Trigg J , Naweed A , Kinnear S
Published: January 2022

Multiple benefits of freight rail activity have been shown for commercial agribusiness, yet the effects of freight rail-related noise and vibration on domestic livestock health and welfare has so far received little research attention. This scoping review examines peer-reviewed and grey literature addressing associations between freight rail noise, vibration and impacts on domestic livestock. Six databases (Scopus, Science Direct, SAGE, TRID, SPARK, ARRB) were searched for relevant literature published from 1980–2019.PRISMAsearch procedures were used to identify 28 publications relevant to domestic livestock, as well as noise or vibration impact of rail applicable to the freight rail context. Included publications addressed a range of livestock and related species, covering descriptive, review, and experimental findings on noise and vibration impacts. Five publications addressed vibration effects, and 23 addressed noise effects. Effects of noise and vibration on different species indicated that adverse effects vary depending on exposure intensity. The literature indicates that specific thresholds for noise and vibration exposure should be considered when managing freight rail impacts on commercial agribusiness involving avian and mammalian species. Freight rail noise and vibration likely exceeds thresholds for discomfort and harm for avian and mammalian species. Future research should consider case studies that specifically focus on integrating freight rail noise and vibration data to derive species-specific guides for animal health and welfare purposes.
Cortisol is not enough: A complex stress reaction in tethered goats
Authors: Hydbring-Sandberg E , von Walter L Winblad , Forkman B
Published: January 2022

The purpose of this study was to assess the diversity of physiological stress responses elicited by tethering versus loose holding in the Swedish domestic goat (Capra hircus). Eight goats were randomly divided into two groups and the experiment was performed in a crossover design. Six goats had implanted transmitters that registered heart rate and arterial blood pressure telemetrically and blood samples were taken on separate days. Heart rate increased around feeding both when the goats were held loose in pairs, and when they were tied up. When the goats were tethered, the heart rates and blood pressures were higher, and the concentrations of ß-endorphin and oxytocin lower, compared to when held loose in pairs. In conclusion, housing and the company of another animal affect arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and the concentrations of ß-endorphin and oxytocin in goats, but the cortisol and vasopressin concentrations did not differ between the treatments. The higher arterial blood pressure and heart rate, and lower concentrations of ß-endorphin and oxytocin in tethered goats indicate that being tied up may be more stressful for the goats compared to being held loose. The use of single measures, eg cortisol concentrations, was not sufficient to give an accurate picture of the animals’ response to the management system. This study demonstrates the importance of using a wide variety of physiological measures when evaluating stress in animal welfare research.

This paper represents a concrete reflection on the first steps in a Collaborative Online International Learning journey through the Global Polytechnic Alliance participation in Map the System. The polytechnics are in Denmark (VIA), Canada (Humber College), and New Zealand (Otago Polytechnic). Students and faculty participated in the initiative to work together strategically, based on common interests, to strengthen the participating institutions academically and globally. Three international teams were developed to participate and enter into the Map the System global competition. The teams chose a social or environmental issue that mattered to them and researched connecting elements and factors to share findings in a way that people can meaningfully learn from. This competition, and the paper, is viewed as a discovery process. In this article, we describe three stages the team went through faculty team formation, teaching and learning as well as developing student research and system maps. Through this process, we discovered key insights on creating a sense of community online, systems thinking and reflective learning process. The paper concludes with our thoughts on the unintended gifts of collaborating internationally in virtual teams.
A Framework for Innovating through Design
Authors: Clèries Laura
Published: January 2022

Design has the potential for transformation and innovation. In the current changing and complex environment facing multiple new challenges, the design discipline itself is also changing, being increasingly implicated in less tangible matters. The purpose of design and the role of designers is being redefined, and in this context, which designerly ways of innovating, namely Design Attitudes, do we have to promote in order to have presence in the future? This paper presents the Design Attitudes Trend report as well as a digital Design Attitudes Survey, obtained through the use of a qualitative trends’ analysis methodology. The report and survey propose four different ways of innovating, that is, design innovators’ types, and an initial exploration of the meaning of the resulting collective survey data collected amongst design professionals and students.
Learners Learning to Become

Published: January 2022

This article describes an entrepreneurial, transdisciplinary and transformative ESD competencies-course for educators at VIA University College, Denmark, the; "Circular Economy and Sustainable Development in the Education" course (CESDE) from 2018-2021, involving more than 100 educators from a wide variety of faculties. It analyses to what extent the effects on transformative changes towards a sustainable university have been and how these experiences with "learning the learners to become" can be implemented at other Higher Educations. (HE’s). The presentation analyses three levels of impact of the competencies course; (1) impacts on the individual educator’s approach to teaching practices; (2) impacts on the values in managerial and organizational levels; (3) impacts on the personal and institutional interaction with surrounding communities, business and society. The results of this case study demonstrate the potential of initiating ESD competencies-courses and confirms the notion that the competence development of academic staff is an essential prerequisite for a sustainability paradigm shift in higher education. In this way, the program started out with an ambition to enhance curriculum redesign (creating Circular and Sustainable Educations for Sustainable Development ESD) but ended up making organizational alterations and creating an iterative loop of learning and interventions between educators, external specialists, the institutional organization (management), the collaborating companies and the students.
Deep History Curricula under the Mandate of the Anthropocene
Authors: Riede Felix
Published: January 2022

Whilst scientifically debated, the key insights encapsulated in the notion of the Anthropocene are profound: First, natural and cultural history – the fates of climate and the natural world on the one hand, and of humankind and its many cultures on the other – are conjoined. Second, human history is certainly not an inevitable history of progress but one potentially towards catastrophe. These realizations are driven by the wicked perspectives of future climate change and the likelihood of dramatically negative consequences for life on Earth. Looking back into deep history, however, the same realizations also have implications for how we view the human past and what driving forces we view as causal. This, in turn, impinges significantly on how we teach deep and recent history, how we articulate it with other disciplines, and how we display it in children’s books, school textbooks, teaching materials and in museums. With roots firmly in a specific academic discipline – archaeology – I here examine what the topsy-turvy perspective of the Anthropocene implies vis-à-vis the design of contemporary, relevant and sustainable history teaching and teaching resources for the classroom and for learning spaces such as museums. While a collapse of traditional disciplinary boundaries is im-practical if not impossible, I draw on notions of dark pedagogy and disciplinary shadow places to highlight how Anthropocene deep history can connect knowledge domains from across the natural and social sciences. New visions for our future need, I suggest, new visions of our past.
