Global Citizenship Education and Sustainability Otherwise
Authors: Suša Rene , Andreotti Vanessa , Stein Sharon , Ahenakew Cash , Čajkova Tereza , Siwek Dino Kuperman , Cardoso Camilla , Huni Kui Ninawa
Published: October 2020

This chapter presents a selection of theoretical and pedagogical frameworks for global citizenship education (GCE) otherwise of the “Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures” (GTDF) collective. The authors discuss the challenges of addressing the depth and complexity of existing global challenges, in particular as they relate to the questions of (un)sustainability and inherent systemic violence and injustices of modern societies. They begin by introducing the basic premises that guide the work of the GTDF collective and then proceed to map different (soft, critical, and beyond reform) approaches to GCE. The chapter also introduces the pedagogical metaphors/cartographies of the “House of Modernity,” the “Bus,” and the “In Earth's CARE” pedagogical framework and provides links and references to other pedagogical experiments, developed by the collective.
“Development”
Authors: P. Coelho Dalila , Caramelo João , Menezes Isabel
Published: October 2020

The current text aims to contribute to the conceptual debate on global citizenship education. It does so by presenting empirical results from a survey that aimed for a comprehensive understanding of representations and experiences of participants and practitioners of global citizenship education in Portugal. Specifically, this chapter presents empirical results that depict common imaginaries around “development” in the context of global citizenship education. The authors assert that despite a terminological shift that favours the idea of “global citizenship” over the idea of “development,” and the polysemic and problematic nature of development, the education at stake cannot be fully understood, problematized, or reconfigured without a clear discussion on development. The chapter aims to provide critical insights on this by looking at assumptions and actions connected to “global development”.
Strategic Elements to Implement Profound Changes in Learning
Authors: Menéndez Pepe
Published: October 2020

The transformation of education that educational systems must carry out to respond to the challenges of the 21st century is becoming more relevant due to the global circumstances of COVID-19 and the consequences of all kinds that it is causing. The author describes systemic proposals for change in the elements of the current model: curriculum, organization of students and teachers, and spaces. The link between these proposals and the ones that different pedagogues have been developing in the last 20 years, which, in turn, connect with the spirit of the school's renovating currents since the 19th century, is also described. The author points out some of the characteristics of the Horizon 2020 project by Jesuïtes Educació, which since 2012 has been implementing concrete proposals for deep transformations in learning. School leaders and teachers need to set new sights and learning practices that are consistent with the changes that schools need.

Modern societies are increasingly based on digital technologies thus the gender gap is an important social problem for creating a fair, equal, and prosperous societies in the digital age. One of the first steps toward closing gender gap is about encouraging girls to receive education. Although there are positive developments in the closure of gender gap in the education field, the inadequate representation of women in ICT jobs has continued, and the figure of participation of women in this field have not been improving significantly. This chapter focuses on users' reactions for the activities on Girls Who Code, Girls Develop It, and Black Girls Code, Facebook pages as a support mechanism to improve their abilities and motivations on coding area to provide a better perception of possible selves. The results show that these activities attracted users and provided a chance to improve abilities and positive motivation for possible selves.
The Outdoor Education Practices (OEP) in the Development of Sustainable Behaviours in Early Childhood Education
Authors: Caballero-Blanco Pablo , Lasaga-Rodriguez Maria Jose
Published: October 2020

In this chapter, the authors present an intervention that was aimed to increase the realization of outdoor education practices (OEP) and, using the scientific method, they evaluate the effects of such practices on both teachers and students. The incorporation of OEP in the teaching-learning process and the perception of teachers toward its effects on the students were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed through semi-structured interviews and using a teacher diary. Such approach began with a diagnostic questionnaire designed to reveal the use that the teachers make of this type of practices, their degree of training regarding these practices, the opinion of the teachers about the educational potential of OEP, limiting factors and propositions to improve their incorporation. From the results of the diagnosis, methodological guidelines were established between the early childhood education teachers and the researchers to quantitatively and qualitatively improve OEP.
The Rise of Artistic Uncanny
Authors: Gurses Munevver Elif
Published: October 2020

“Pictorial bodies,” which until recently were the symbol of contradictory images and marginalized groups, are now far from this context. The uncanny image that began to shine in the 1980s began to rise in global media such as cinema, music, and television. Then it spread to daily life. This evolution of the image of uncanny has of course also been experienced in tattooed bodies. These tattooed bodies, which were previously contrary and were hesitant to communicate with people have become very demanding and people who want to be friends, and even people who stay away from tattoos have been tattooed. In addition to the aforementioned situations, even with the tattooed image, even the tattoo making process is anesthetized; the number of those who only want tattoos for tattoos is undeniably increasing. They are often praised for the pain and the sound of the tattoo machine; the whole process is narrated and shared with praise. At this point, the idea stage, design and production process, and finally the image that the tattoo imposes on the body have become a whole narrative.
Tainted Away
Authors: Çay Merve
Published: October 2020

Global climate change and its effects on the planet attract attention by policymakers as well as scholars. Global ecological crises are gradually being examined both in cultural and scientific terms all over the world as a concept as the relationship between nature and people is examined further. Japanese animation director Hayao Miyazaki stands out with his critical approach to the relationship between humans and nature. Miyazaki's animated films such as Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind provide us with a different perspective on Mother Earth and the relationship between nature and people in connection to “past,” “present,” and “future.” In this chapter, Miyazaki's three films are examined through three approaches in ecocriticism—deep ecology, ecofeminism, and dark ecology—to show how Miyazaki maintains a unifying, and a not discriminatory, narrative in our perception of nature by finding balancing solutions to dichotomies such as nature-man, human-nonhuman, man-woman, technology-nature.
Aestheticization Through Representation of Power in Built Environment
Authors: Sanli Tugce
Published: October 2020

The concepts of power, aesthetics, and fear beyond the boundaries of art reveals tangible and intangible existence through urban space, and public space stands as the centre of attention due to its transforming meaning and spatiality reflecting the global-local thresholds of economic, political, and social compositions of different time periods. The research aims to unfold the layers of ‘power' that are capable of manifesting through built environment using state apparatuses, that is, urban planning, land-use changes, architecture, securitization, and pacification of symbolic and socially constructed meanings and connotations of particular urban spaces, each of which upholds its own aesthetic formation that is unstable, sensational, and perceptual. Turkey is chosen for its rich and yet complex social and political history as the case concentrating on Kızılay Square in Ankara due to its potential of reflecting a rich historical passage starting with a modernisation implication of a new capital to tyranny of forms of institutional, political, and representational power at display.
Aestheticization of Fear and Violence via Public Relations
Authors: Memiş H. Burcu Önder
Published: October 2020

Fear is a human emotion that allows a person to survive. It has a function to ensure the continuity of life. The definition of fear has changed over time. Along with human development, transition to sedentary life, the industrial revolution, and modern life, fear and the things feared have changed. Fear has started to be marketed, especially in post-industrial societies. The governments have seen that fear and violence work to regulate, control, and passivate people. Political governments have had the unique opportunity to use fear as a mechanism for control and surveillance. The governments have aestheticized the fear and presented it indirectly with the support of media. The masses have been shaped as weak, scared, anxious, and helpless in the shadow of fear and violence. This study tries to shed light on the attempt to persuade the society about the legitimacy of the military government by presenting fear and violence to people in aestheticized forms in the 1980s in Turkey.
The Aestheticization of Counterpower
Authors: Abanoz Enes
Published: October 2020

The impact of new communication technologies—especially social networks such as Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook—on democracy and mass movements has been a core subject in the area of social and political research ever since these technologies have started to play a crucial role in dissemination of ideas that go beyond the limits of mass media and foster symmetrical communication on an unprecedented scale. One of the important features of these technologies is the image sharing ability with network members. It is a propulsive force to turn a crowd into a mass with creating a collective subjectivity (the we) of mass through image, which turns into an iconography. This iconography is per se an aesthetic medium of ideology that is against the political totalizations in new digital public sphere. Thus, in this chapter, the authors focus on the formation of new social movements in network societies, then the aesthetic dimension of iconographic images in these movements.
Aesthetics Perceptions of Social Media Generations
Authors: Ünal Aylin Tutgun
Published: October 2020

This chapter aimed to investigate the online value and behavior transfer of generations who use social media with the phenomenon of aestheticization. By examining the social media generations' preferences, usage habits, the levels of acceptance of differences and the effects of social media use on the work life in the light of researches, generations' togetherness and differences on the online network are revealed. In social networks, generations can provide power by affecting each other's moods, and can easily impose violence, aggression, and power factors on others by making fun. When compared to older generations, the fact that young generations prefer social media environments that are with more photo and video sharing makes for them to produce/consume many emotions that have been made usual with aestheticization, especially the information that contains violence. At the end of this chapter, some suggestions are made including family communication and trust model named “5S+1M.”
Preparing Students for Research
Authors: Djoub Zineb
Published: October 2020

Conducting academic research is a requirement to obtain a degree at university. But, before judging the research work students come up with at the end, we need to question the quality of the research methodology courses and to what extent these are preparing them for such a decisive task. To this end, this chapter's focal concern is to find out about the challenges Master students face in conducting research at the department of English (Mostaganem University). This is through a case study investigating their needs, concerns, and views regarding their learning of the research methodology course.
Advocacy Anxiety
Authors: Sarasqueta-Allen Kelsey H.
Published: October 2020

The nature of graduate education often promotes the development of radical critical thinking, professional orientation, and research skills. However, it fails to connect this radical development of thought to tangible, action-oriented social justice advocacy practices. Neglecting this connection of theory to practice potentially exacerbates the experience of advocacy anxiety (the fear and resistance of engaging in advocacy) and slacktivism (engaging in relatively meaningless, actionless social justice). Through a counselor education lens, the purpose of this chapter is to explore the roots of advocacy anxiety and slacktivism and how to rectify inaction through the implementation of public policy-oriented, experiential learning activities in graduate education curriculum.
Learning in Virtual Environments
Authors: Mellet-d'Huart Daniel
Published: October 2020

This chapter addresses the questions of why, when, and how to use virtual reality to support learning processes for human beings. It focuses therefore on what can and cannot be done in a real environment versus what can and cannot be done in a virtual environment, as well as on how using virtual reality can make some types of learning easier as long as certain conditions are fulfilled. These conditions include the shifting of some inner beliefs and the choice of an accurate paradigm. The paradigm of enaction will be presented as an example of an accurate paradigm for virtual reality. Some conceptual keys and landmarks for design will be proposed in the context of the Trinologic metamodel developed by the author. Such metamodels should facilitate the connection between human actions, learning, and the characteristics of the outer world, whether this world is real or virtual.
Building an Instructional Design Model for Immersive Virtual Reality Learning Environments
Authors: Tacgin Zeynep , Dalgarno Barney
Published: October 2020

The recent increase in affordability of immersive virtual reality learning environments (IVRLEs) grows the interests of university, school, and industry training contexts. Due to their unique affordances, these environments have the potential to lead to a paradigm shift in learning experience design. The absence of learning design models, however, represents a significant challenge to the widespread and effective utilisation of this technology platform. Several researchers have proposed design models for virtual reality learning environments (VRLEs). The majority of these models don't explicitly consider the unique characteristics of Immersive environments. This research describes an instructional design model for IVRLEs, which draws upon Dalgarno and Lee's affordance model for VRLE and Tacgin's IVRLE development stages for teaching concepts and procedures. The specific learning strategies and affordances of IVRLEs are matched with the features of current IVR systems and technologies.

The present study has as its general objective to analyze the differences in behavior and culture among religious tourists who visit sacred sites. The study is descriptive through research. The quantitative instrument was adapted of Irimiás and Michalkó and Irimiás, Mitev, and Michalko. The results show a heterogeneous sample that includes different age groups. Among the data it appears that the majority of respondents are female and have higher education. A large percentage were born in a religious cradle and thus are considered religious. In addition, a high number of religious tourism participants are part of a religious community. Thus, it is suggested for future research to expand the analyzed countries in order to compare results, with the aim of analyzing other contents different from those analyzed. Among other limitations of this study we have: the information presented is limited to the articles selected only with Brazilian and Portuguese tourists; the research was carried out with the snowball technique, being limited only to the sample for convenience.
Efficient Algorithms for Cleaning and Indexing of Graph data
Authors: Santhosh Kumar D. K.  , Demain Antony DMello
Published: October 2020

Information extraction and analysis from the enormous graph data is expanding rapidly. From the survey, it is observed that 80% of researchers spend more than 40% of their project time in data cleaning. This signifies a huge need for data cleaning. Due to the characteristics of big data, the storage and retrieval is another major concern and is addressed by data indexing. The existing data cleaning techniques try to clean the graph data based on information like structural attributes and event log sequences. The cleaning of graph data on a single piece of information alone will not increase the performance of computation. Along with node, the label can also be inconsistent, so it is highly desirable to clean both to improve the performance. This paper addresses aforesaid issue by proposing graph data cleaning algorithm to detect the unstructured information along with inconsistent labeling and clean the data by applying rules and verify based on data inconsistency. The authors propose an indexing algorithm based on CSS-tree to build an efficient and scalable graph indexing on top of Hadoop.
Open-Source Essential Protein Prediction Model by Integrating Chi-Square and Support Vector Machine
Authors: Sekhar S. R. Mani , Siddesh G. M.  , Manvi Sunilkumar S.
Published: October 2020

Identification and analysis of protein play a vital role in drug design and disease prediction. There are several open-source applications that have been developed for identifying essential proteins which are based on biological or topological features. These techniques infer the possibility of proteins to be essential by using the network topology and feature selection, which can ignore some of the features to reduce the complexity and, subsequently, results in less accuracy. In the paper, the authors have used selenium driver to scrap the dataset. Later, the authors integrated the chi-square method with support vector machine for the prediction of essential proteins in baker yeast. Here, chi-square is a test of dissimilarity used for altering the record, and afterward, the support vector machine is used to classify the test dataset. The results show that the proposed model Chi-SVM model achieves an accuracy of 99.56%, whereas BC and CC achieved an accuracy of 84.0% and 86.0%. Finally, the proposed model is validated using Statistical performance measures such as PPA, NPA, SA, and STA.
Visualizing Artificial Intelligence Used in Education Over Two Decades
Authors: Yu Zhonggen
Published: October 2020

With the rapid development of computer science, use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has caught much attention across the world although it is still a young field with many under-explored research elements. Through visualizing study with bibliometric evaluation and taxonomy of the literature using both VOSviewer and CiteSpace, this study provided references for readers in terms of cluster mapping on the basis of keywords, bibliographic coupling of countries, cluster mapping on the basis of co-citations, citation counts, bursts, betweenness centrality, and sigma. Researchers could also take the findings of this study into serious consideration when they set about researching effectiveness, efficiency, or usefulness of AI in education. Future research into use of AI in education will most likely need interdisciplinary cooperation between computer science, statistics, education, cognition, and robotics.

Published: October 2020

E-learning standards like learning tools interoperability can support at realizing innovative learning scenarios in distributed architectures. A learning tools interoperability connection between a learning management system and a gaming platform offers possibilities like embedding a game into an online course and sending player-specific data back to the learning management system. This allows for a new and data-driven evaluation of students' individual learning performances, especially for alternative methods like qualifications-based learning. The learning tools interoperability-specified mechanisms can also be applied for implementing functionality to exchange students' competence profiles and traces within a knowledge-management eco-system portal that provides a toolkit for creating competence-based games that meet the requirements of qualifications-based learning as well as tools for creating game-specific analytics. As a first result, the authors made a prototypical implementation with a serious game prototype based on the unity game engine and unity analytics as analysis platform.

Overdetermined constraints and rigid synchrony patterns for network equilibria
Authors: Stewart Ian
Published: October 2020

In network dynamics, synchrony between nodes defines an equivalence relation, usually represented as a colouring. If the colouring is balanced, meaning that nodes of the same colour have colour-isomorphic inputs, it determines a subspace that is flow-invariant for any ODE compatible with the network structure. Therefore any state lying in such a subspace has the synchrony pattern determined by that balanced colouring. In 2005 Golubitsky and coworkers proved a strong converse for synchronous equilibria: every rigid synchrony colouring for a hyperbolic equilibrium is balanced, where rigidity means that the pattern persists under small admissible perturbations. We give a different proof of this theorem, based on overdetermined constraint equations, Sard’s Theorem, bump functions, and groupoid symmetrisation.

En la Estación Experimental Agrícola, en Río Piedras, se llevó a cabo un experimento con el objeto de determinar hasta qué punto la enfermedad, llamada raya clorótica, puede reducir los rendimientos de la caña de azúcar. Se compararon los resultados de los siguientes tratamientos: (A) Semilla infectada, (B) semilla sana, (C) semilla infectada tratada, (D) semilla sana tratada. La caña desarrollada de pedazos de semilla sana, produjo rendimientos que fueron significativamente mayores que la desarrollada de pedazos de semilla infectada. La inmersión de la semilla en agua caliente (52°C. por 20 minutos), redujo significativamente la incidencia de la enfermedad y aumentó los rendimientos de la caña y del azúcar en la caña. Se logró un aumento, en un 45 por ciento, en los rendimientos de azúcar, cuando se sembró semilla sana, al compararse con la producción de los tratamientos con semilla infectada que no se trató. Los resultados del experimento señalan el hecho de que si se selecciona adecuadamente la semilla para las siembras en el campo, de modo que esté libre de la raya clorótica, no sólo se consiguen mayores rendimientos de caña, si que también se evitan los gastos de tratar la semilla para controlar la infección.

Se informan en este trabajo distintos aspectos sobre: los minerales potásicos, el contenido total de potasa de algunos perfiles, los valores mínimos y máximos de la potasa asimilable, el promedio de potasa asimilable extraído por un por ciento de ácido cítrico y por el sorgo enano, en pruebas con tiestos, todo en relación con algunos grupos de suelos de Puerto Rico. En aquellos suelos en que se encuentran los feldespatos, el promedio de potasa asimilable, extraído por el sorgo y el ácido cítrico, fué 747 y 376 libras de K2O por acre, respectivamente. El sorgo extrajo el doble de potasa. En los suelos sin feldespatos, el promedio de potasa asimilable extraído por el sorgo y por el ácido cítrico, fué 440 y 365 libras de K2O por acre, respectivamente. Se concluye, que los métodos químicos no siempre resultan confiables para determinar con exactitud la cantidad de potasa que las plantas absorben del suelo. La caña de azúcar generalmente ha respondido poco a las aplicaciones de los abonos potásicos en Puerto Rico. Los mayores rendimientos de la variedad P.O.J. 2878 se obtuvieron en las primeras cinco cosechas consecutivas en un suelo ácido de Puerto Rico, con una aplicación mínima de 90 libras de K2O por cosecha, por año. La sexta cosecha al igual que las otras tres seguidas, como también el promedio de las nueve cosechas, respondieron significativamente a la aplicación de potasa en exceso a 90 libras de K2O por acre. No hubo resultados significativos en los lisímetros de arena con cuatro niveles de aumento, los cuales variaron desde 19 hasta 253 libras de K2O por acre, respectivamente. Tampoco, hubo correlación significativa entre los rendimientos de la caña y el contenido de potasa de sus hojas, en las cuatro épocas distintas en las cuales se hicieron las observaciones. A los 3 meses el contenido de potasa en las plantas de caña varió entre 1.54 y 2.94 por ciento de K, respectivamente, en las aplicaciones mínimas y máximas de potasa.

Ni la dureza, ni el alto contenido de lignina de una madera evita que ésta pueda ser atacada por la polilla. La inmunidad de las llamadas maderas resistentes a la polilla proviene de algún constituyente químico específico, que hallándose comparativamente en pequeñas cantidades en ciertas maderas, las hace tóxicas, o por lo menos indeseables a los insectos. Un ejemplo puede ser la tectoquinona que se encuentra en la teca de la India Oriental. Estas substancias, extraídas de la madera, pueden usarse como insecticidas, según se hace con la Ryania, la cual se origina de la Ryania speciosa. También pueden usarse para impregnar maderas susceptibles a la polilla para inmunizarlas contra los ataques de este insecto. El Conrado Asenjo, de la Escuela de Medicina, se ha venido ocupando últimamente en extraer estas substancias de la caoba antillana.

Introduction: Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) are widely used as a competency-based assessment of clinical skills within M.Pharm. programmes of many United Kingdom (UK) pharmacy schools.
Aim: To evaluate the clinical performance of final year M.Pharm. students and elicit their views and experiences of the OSCE assessment.
Methods: Students were divided into 11 groups and completed an OSCE exam, comprising 11 stations of seven minutes in length, following a four-day placement in clinical practice. Students were asked to complete an acceptability questionnaire, and their OSCE performance was correlated with their final degree classification and their Oriel rank position.
Results: Overall, the OSCE assessment is acceptable from the students’ perspective. Differences were found between the students’ performances at the individual OSCE stations. Students performed best on patient consultation stations and least on clinical-problem solving stations. There was no correlation between students OSCE marks and their Oriel rank position. There was however a strong correlation between the students OSCE mark and their final degree classification (r=0.528, n=119, p=0.000).
Conclusion: Final year pharmacy undergraduates perform poorly in activities which demand an element of clinical problem identification. Further research is required on how clinical problem solving skills can be developed amongst undergraduates and the specific role placements have in achieving this.
Efectos del ruido en la calidad vocal de docentes de instituciones educativas

Published: October 2020

Introducción: la investigación tuvo como objetivo identificar el efecto del ruido en la calidad vocal mediante el análisis acústico de la voz en docentes de instituciones educativas en Cúcuta, Norte de Santander.
Métodos: se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo de enfoque cuantitativo, con una población total de 71 docentes, a quienes se les realizó: audiometría, análisis acústico de la voz, protocolo índice de incapacidad vocal y sonometría.
Resultados: se encontró un promedio de ruido para cada área entre 62 y 65 dB y se identificó alteración en JITTER local a 25 docentes de los 57 evaluados. JITTER =0,307+0,015 edad-0,126 sexo-0,012 tiempo de servicio +0,018 horas trabajadas -0,008 ruido
Análisis y discusión: en modelos de regresión el resultado fue R2=18,6% lo cual indica que, en conjunto, las variables independientes explican en un 18,6% la variabilidad que se presenta en la variable dependiente, JITTER. A pesar de que esta ecuación no es la mejor para fines predictivos, las relaciones que obtuvimos están en correspondencia con los postulados teóricos de la voz.
Conclusiones: no hubo variabilidad en las mediciones del ruido. Sus porcentajes fueron homogéneos, esto impidió realizar un registro predictivo con el modelo de regresión. Sin embargo, la literatura indica que el ruido es un factor significativamente influyente en la calidad vocal cuando se ve acompañado de otros factores de exposición.

El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar la relación entre eventos traumáticos en la infancia y la resiliencia, en población expuesta a la violencia en la región del Urabá antioqueño. Se contó con una muestra final de 86 adultos (53.5%, los hombres, 43% mujeres y 3.5% mujeres transgénero) entre 18 y 60 años. Este es un estudio descriptivo, correlacional, de corte transversal, en el cual se midieron eventos traumáticos que fueron evaluados con el Inventario de Experiencias Traumáticas en la Infancia (ETI-SRCol) y niveles de resiliencia con la Escala de Resiliencia en Adultos (ER). Para determinar la relación se usó el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman p<0.005, que fue considerado significativo. Los datos obtenidos del cuestionario ETI-SRCol evidencian puntajes importantes al comparar las medias del grupo de participantes con las del grupo de adaptación de la prueba para la población colombiana en las variables de violencia sociopolítica, abuso sexual, acontecimientos generales y en la de pobreza. Los resultados de este estudio indican correlaciones débiles entre los factores del trauma infantil y los niveles de resiliencia en la edad adulta.

La investigación está dirigida a resolver una problemática existente en el Banco de Problemas del Combinado Deportivo Nº 1 “Escambray” del municipio Cumanayagua en el curso escolar 2018-2019 y poder determinar las causas que motivaron las insuficiencias en el cumplimiento de los objetivos pedagógicos en las atletas de Voleibol Pioneril de la categoría 11-12 años femeninos. Para la realización de este trabajo se tomó como muestra a las 14 atletas integrantes del equipo de voleibol pioneril de la categoría 11-12 años femeninos pertenecientes al Combinado Deportivo Nº 1, con edades comprendidas entre los 10 y 12 años. También participaron los 2 entrenadores del área de voleibol y 2 especialistas con vasta experiencia en este deporte quienes fueron los encargados de evaluar las pruebas. Se utilizaron diferentes métodos científicos, tales como la observación directa a las sesiones de entrenamiento, encuesta a los entrenadores, la revisión de documentos, planes y programa de enseñanza y la medición. Objetivo: diagnosticar el comportamiento de los objetivos pedagógicos en las atletas de Voleibol Pioneril de la categoría 11-12 años femeninos en el municipio Cumanayagua. A través de las conclusiones se evidencian dificultades en el cumplimiento de los objetivos pedagógicos en las atletas de voleibol pioneril de la categoría 11-12 años femeninos motivados por la carencia de medios auxiliares en las clases para mejorar el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, errores en la calidad de ejecución en los movimientos durante la realización de la técnica de cada elemento técnico y la carencia de topes de confrontación con otros municipios.

ANALYSIS OF THE TRINOM MIGRATION - FDI - COMPETITIVENESS. CASE STUDY: ROMANIA (2004-2015)
Authors: Talmaciu Ana Maria , Cismas Laura-Mariana
Published: October 2020

In the context of a global economy, increasingly competitive, the battle for the competitive advantage has become harsh. The attractiveness of countries which influence the international migration, generate opposite or complementary effects in the countries of origin and destination. Labor migration among highly qualified people stirred controversy on the impact on the economies of the countries involved in the international transfer of human capital. Labor migration, highly qualified or not, produce a change in the investor’s behavior. They will be interested in investing in countries where the workforce is favoring either qualitatively, either financially, or both.The foreign direct investment fluctuates as the dynamics of migration increases. A country with a large number of highly skilled migrants can lose to foreign investors due to the lack of attractiveness of human capital, and, at the same time, a country with a large number of a trained environmental emigrant may be of interest to investors in search of cheap labor. This paper aims to examine the following hypothesis: to which extent the emigration influence the competitive level (measured by GDP) and the foreign direct investments in the origin country. The results confirm the economic theory, showing a correlation, but not a significative one, for the analized years.
Dos registros de atropellamiento de Leopardus wiedii y Herpailurus yagouaroundi (carnivora: felidae) en Yucatán, México
Authors: Monter-Pozos Alvaro , Hernandez Julio C.
Published: October 2020

La mortalidad de la fauna silvestre debido a la colisión con vehículos es un problema poco estudiado. En México, se ha incrementado el interés por determinar los efectos negativos y las acciones de mitigación ante el impacto de las redes viales sobre las poblaciones de vertebrados silvestres. En este estudio se documentan dos casos del aparente atropellamiento de un individuo de jaguarundi y uno de tigrillo, en carreteras estatales de la región litoral centro del estado de Yucatán, México. Ambos registros ponen de manifiesto la importancia de estudios que cuantifiquen el atropellamiento de vertebrados en carreteras para planificar su mitigación.
TINJAUAN YURIDIS TINDAK PIDANA PEMILU DAN PROSES PENYELESAIANNYA BERDASARKAN UU NO. 8 TAHUN 2012 TENTANG PEMILIHAN UMUM WILAYAH SUMATERA UTARA
Authors: Nurita Cut , Ridwan Lubis Muhammad
Published: October 2020

Dengan diaturnya masalah tindak pidana Pemilihan Umum baik dalam KUH. Pidana maupun dalam UU No. 8 Tahun 2012 menunjukkan bahwa Pemilihan Umum itu merupakan hal yang sangat penting  dalam kehidupan bernegara di Indonesia. Juga disadari, bahwa yang yang sangat penting adalah jika Pemilihan Umum tersebut bebas dari tindakan-tindakan yang bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai kejujuran dan keadilan. Dalam penulisan penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode telaah pustaka (library research) untuk mentelaah data-data sekunder yang berhubungan dengan permasalahan dalam penelitian ini. Berdasarkan pembahasan maka ditarik kesimpulan bahwa pertanggungjawaban pidana pelaku tindak pidana pemilu dalam KUHP adalah apabila melakukan ancaman kekerasan, merintangi seseorang melakukan hak pilihnya, melakukan penyuapan terhadap seseorang dengan maksud agar tidak menjalankan hak pilihnya, melakukan penipuan yang menyebabkan hak pilih seseorang menjadi tidak berharga, melakukan pemalsuan identitas dan melakukan penipuan yang menyebabkan hasil pemungutan suara menjadi lain seolah-olah suara-suara yang diberikan sah. Pertanggungjawaban dan penyelesaian tindak pidana kampanye di luar prosedur dalam UU No. 8 Tahun 2012 dan mekanisme penyelesaian dalam UU No. 8 Tahun 2012 yang dilakukan Yenny Pardede dan Ety Mulyati dinyatakan telah melakukan tindak pidana melanggar perkara kampanye Pemilu Pasal 270 dan Pasal 274 sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 137 ayat (4) Undang-Undang Nomor 10 Tahun 2008 tentang Pemilihan Umum Anggota Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat, Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah, dan Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah.
La baja de la edad de imputabilidad penal en debate
Authors: Rodríguez Ravera Tania
Published: October 2020

: Este artículo presenta un estudio comparativo de los contextos y factores que llevaron al resurgir de propuestas de baja de la edad de imputabilidad penal de 18 a 16 años, en Uruguay y en Brasil en el período de 2012 a 2016. Se identifican posibles dinámicas regionales de criminalización de la pobreza y de la juventud tomando como variables de estudio: el aumento de las tasas de encarcelamiento de jóvenes, principalmente, adolescentes y el recrudecimiento penal a través de políticas y legislaciones más punitivas (avance punitivo). Se brinda mayor atención a los aspectos socio-históricos-culturales de esas dinámicas y a las relaciones que se establecen entre política y penalidad en un contexto de hegemonía neoliberal. La pregunta central es ¿por qué se realizan propuestas semejantes para contextos que, aparentemente, son diferentes? Así es que se propone identificar y comprender cómo ocurren esos procesos, las continuidades y discontinuidades con su pasado y comprobar que los mismos no se reducen exclusivamente a dinámicas internas de los “tejidos nacionales” sino que se deben, de cierto modo, a la propia historia y realidad regional. El marco temporal de esta tesis se ubica entre el 2012 y el 2016, tomando como referencia el fuerte (re) inicio del debate en Uruguay a través de la aprobación de realización de un plebiscito constitucional para bajar la edad de imputabilidad, y la re-abertura del proceso en Brasil en el 2015 con una propuesta similar (que sigue en discusión en el parlamento brasileño).
الإجارة المنتهية بالتمليك وشبهة اجتماع العقود دراسة تحليلية

Contracts - An Analytical Study
Authors: Al-Salaheen Abdul Majeed Mahmoud
Published: October 2020

يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة مفهوم عقد الإجارة المنتهية بالتمليك، وتكييفه الفقهي، كما يهدف إلى سبر أغوار أقوى الشبه المثارة عليه، وعلى مشروعيته، وهي مسألة اجتماع العقود في عقد واحد، ومدى صحّة هذه الشبهة، ونصيبها من الأثر والنظر. ومدى صحة القول باندراجها تحت النهي النبوي الشريف عن بيعتين في بيعة، وصولا إلى الخاتمة التي ستودع فيها أهم النتائج والتوصيات، حيث خلصت الدراسة إلى ضعف هذه الشبهة، وتأكيد عدم اندراج عقد الإجارة المنتهية بالتمليك في النهي النبوي الشريف عن بيعتين في بيعة.

This research aims at studying the
concept of a lease contract ending with
ownership, and its idiosyncratic conditions,
as well as exploring the depths of the strongest similarities raised on it and its legitimacy. This is the issue of issuing multiple
contracts in one contract, the extent of the validity of this suspicion, and its impact and
consideration. The validity of what is said by its inclusion under the Prophet’s prohibition
on two sales in a pledge of allegiance, up to the conclusion which will show the most important results and recommendations. The study concludes with this suspicion which proves that it is weak and to confrm that the lease contract ending in ownership is not included in the Prophet’s prohibition of two sales in allegiance.

A kernel-driven BRDF model to inform satellite-derived visible anvil cloud detection
Authors: Scarino Benjamin R. , Bedka Kristopher , Bhatt Rajendra , Khlopenkov Konstantin , Doelling David R. , Smith Jr. William L.
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Satellites routinely observe deep convective clouds
across the world. The cirrus outflow from deep convection, commonly referred
to as anvil cloud, has a ubiquitous appearance in visible and infrared (IR)
wavelength imagery. Anvil clouds appear as broad areas of highly reflective
and cold pixels relative to the darker and warmer clear sky background,
often with embedded textured and colder pixels that indicate updrafts and
gravity waves. These characteristics would suggest that creating automated
anvil cloud detection products useful for weather forecasting and research
should be straightforward, yet in practice such product development can be
challenging. Some anvil detection methods have used reflectance or
temperature thresholding, but anvil reflectance varies significantly
throughout a day as a function of combined solar illumination and satellite
viewing geometry, and anvil cloud top temperature varies as a function of
convective equilibrium level and tropopause height. This paper highlights a
technique for facilitating anvil cloud detection based on visible
observations that relies on comparative analysis with expected cloud
reflectance for a given set of angles, thereby addressing limitations of
previous methods. A 1-year database of anvil-identified pixels, as
determined from IR observations, from several geostationary satellites was
used to construct a bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF)
model to quantify typical anvil reflectance across almost all expected
viewing, solar, and azimuth angle configurations, in addition to the
reflectance uncertainty for each angular bin. Application of the BRDF model
for cloud optical depth retrieval in deep convection is described as
well.
