Oculomotor response to images in primary school children with mild intellectual disability
Authors: Nikishina VB , Prirodova OF , Petrash EA , Sevrukova IA
Published: March 2021

Oculomotor activity (eye movements) is an essential component of visual data acquisition, analysis and use. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of oculomotor response to static images in primary school children with mild intellectual disability (ID). Our sample included a total of 49 schoolers (23 children with mild ID and 26 typically developing children). Oculomotor activity was evaluated using a GP3 Gazepoint eye tracker. The participants were presented with 15 visual stimuli: 10 pictorial and 5 mixed (pictures + text) static color images. Children with mild ID generated significantly fewer fixations (р = 0.038) than typically developing children. So, learning materials containing both pictorial and textual images are ineffective because textual elements are completely ignored by children with mild ID. The total duration of gaze fixations was significantly longer (р = 0.029) in typically developing children than in children with mild ID. However, the average duration of a single gaze fixation was longer in children with mild ID. The identified features of oculomotor response can help to optimize the format of instructional materials for primary school children with mild ID.

COVID-19 and Working Within Health Care Systems: the future is flexible
Authors: Merone Lea , Whitehead Oscar
Published: March 2021

COVID-19 and subsequent lockdown of affected countries has changed the way Australia and the rest of the world do business, with online working, video/teleconferences and independent working becoming increasingly normal. Those working in primary care or in allied professions however such as administration, public health, management, human resources, radiology and mental health, have found themselves unexpectedly moving their work into their homes.
There has been much discourse surrounding the consequences and benefits of the recent work from home (WFH) mass-movement. The leading benefits of working from home are increased productivity, cost and time-savings for employers and opportunities for disabled people to work. However, there a number of emerging unintended adverse consequences of WFH, including overworking, stress and fatigue.
Employee personality traits are linked with the individual’s response to WFH. It is the role of a good leader to play to an employee’s strengths and individual circumstances. WFH initiatives can provide huge economic savings for organisations. The future beyond COVID-19 must allow for flexibility in both workers’ hours and location as far as possible, with investment in telehealth and teleworking and allowance for face-to-face meetings in accommodating office-spaces.
Mending The Broken Bridges: An Analysis of Familyhood in Zakes Mda’s Ways of Dying (1995)
Authors: Makoni Brightman
Published: March 2021

This paper examines South African literature’s paradigm shift through Zakes Mda’s disruption of the dominant trope of apartheid by his focusing on black ordinary lives in Ways of Dying. The novel foregrounds the broken bridges of love and unity that used to link families before colonisation. Mda demonstrates how the rise of the city engendered the demise of the village where blacks lived as a unified community before migrating to the city whence they sink into individualism. The discussion focuses on family units during the period of death and dying to reveal broken links that happen to have a bearing to black familyhood. The focus of the argument is on how Mda depicts and mends the lost spirit of oneness among the blacks during the final stages of the anti-apartheid struggle and the transition to a democratic South Africa. The discussion highlights a new traditional African community built on forgiveness, care and unity.

Published: March 2021

Speech acts are a way to conceptualize speech as an action. Speech act of flaming is an utterance that expresses insults; swearing; and hateful; intense language in hostile online interaction. Flaming is an expressive speech act and often leads to the trading of insults between members within a certain conversation. Social media is one of the platforms that has been used to express, comment and voice out emotions. In this study, the speech act of flaming in a Twitter status will be analysed based on the Malaysian context. The data of this study is a compilation of Twitter statuses consisting of 2.5 million words and is labelled as Malaysian Twitter Status Context corpus (MTSC). The tweets were analysed based on 14 subcategories of flaming (Bansal, Nittin, Siddhartha, Kapil, Anuj, Sheenu, Kanika, Kunal, Kunal, Manav, 2012 and Revathy & Norizah, 2017). This study adopted the qualitative approach through contextual analysis. Findings of this study showed that flaming in Malaysian context can be direct or intentional; and indirect based on the intentions (illocutionary force) to offend other tweeters. Findings of this study show that language usage among youngsters specifically the tweeters are not in line with the values and ethics that have been practiced in our culture and society.

La recepción del mito de Medea en la marginación de una mujer: “Patrón” de Abelardo Castillo
Authors: Delbueno María Silvina
Published: March 2021

En este estudio nos proponemos indagar la recepción del personaje mítico de Medea en el cuento “Patrón” de Abelardo Castillo. La elección radica en los puntos de encuentro de ambos personajes femeninos. Por un lado, hallamos en Paula a una mujer marginal que sufre las expresiones de violencia extrema del maltrato al que la somete su marido, Antenor. Por otro lado, dicha violencia subyace en el mismo territorio de la pampa argentina. Sin embargo, la mujer padece la aporía en una frontera invisible entre su lugar de origen y el alambre que trazó las manos del patrón. Violencia y desterritorialización constituyen los ejes sobre los que se estructura esta pieza en que el personaje femenino revive el sesgo vengativo contestatario del personaje del hipotexto euripideo.
El viaje del alma después de la muerte. Un motivo homérico en Fuego en Casabindo de Héctor Tizón
Authors: Liñán Alejandra Mabel
Published: March 2021

La obra narrativa de Héctor Tizón incluye, desde su primera novela publicada, Fuego en Casabindo (1969), la adscripción a la tradición homérica, cifrada en la cita del epígrafe, de un fragmento de Odisea (11. 216-224), enunciado por Anticlea, quien revela a su hijo lo que ocurre con los seres humanos cuando mueren. Al mismo tiempo, incorpora en el mundo narrado los cantares y los relatos populares tradicionales, los mitos y creencias de la región noroeste de la Argentina. La escatología es un conocimiento que articula estas culturas tan alejadas en el tiempo y el espacio. Este artículo sostiene que el motivo griego integrado en la novela no es un componente secundario, sino que constituye la matriz narrativa, da forma a la estructura novelesca y resulta significativo para la interpretación.

Democracy, elite power and civil society: Bolivia and Peru compared
Authors:   Research Associate, Latin American Centre, University of Oxford, Crabtree John
Published: March 2021

Despite proximity and cultural similarities, Peru and Bolivia provide contrasting examples of elite power as opposed to that of popular movements. Peru in recent years has seen the consolidation of business power at the expense of a politically active civil society; opposition to neoliberal policies has been fragmented and weak. Bolivia has a history of strong social movements that underpinned successive administrations by the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS). However, these trajectories are not fixed and the ability of civil society and elites to control the state fluctuates. The November 2019 coup in Bolivia is a reminder of this. This article compares the two countries over different time periods: that of state-led development prior to 1980, the neoliberal period in the 1980s and 1990s, and that of post-neoliberalism period after 2000.

Despite existing frameworks for the improvement of adolescent reproductive health, there is a lack in provision of the Adolescent Friendly Health Services (AFHS). The primary objective of this study was to assess the quality and proficiency of service providers to deliver Adolescent Friendly Health Services (AFHS) in central India. Data was gathered by visiting 30 secondary and tertiary level health facilities to assess their infrastructure and preparedness for providing AFHS using a pre-designed questionnaire based on WHO guidelines for assessing quality. Descriptive analysis was done using SPSS v21 and Microsoft Excel. Quality of AFHS services was found to be poor in non- RKSK facilities. However the knowledge level, training status and counseling skills of the service provider was found to be highly substandard in both RKSK and Non-RKSK facilities. The RKSK program has not been properly implemented and has failed to make an impact where it was required.

Authors:   Assistant Professor, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, India, Zutshi Kalpana
Published: March 2021

Background: It has been seen that the effects of dynamic stretching and cryotherapy has good effects in the performance of the football players. There are enough evidences and literature on both individually but the comparison between the two was not found. So, with the same concept comparison has been taken out with some interventions in the recreational football players. Purpose of Study: The purpose of this study was to check the comparative effects of both the interventions upon different variables like vertical jump height, agility and 20 meter sprint. Methodology: 30 subjects were taken, who were divided into 2 groups. The first group received dynamic stretching first and then cryotherapy and the second group vice-versa. Further, after a period of 48 hours of flush out time the interventions were reversed to both the groups. Pre and post readings of variables were taken: vertical jump height, agility and 20 meter sprint. Result: Vertical jump height test was significant for both the groups, after dynamic stretching. Vertical Jump height test had a significant p-value of 0.01 in group A and non-significant value for group B, after cryotherapy that is 0.531. T-test was significant for group A with a p value of 0.01 and non-significant for group B with a P value of 0.481. Significant for group B after cryotherapy with a p-value of 0.061. Conclusion: It can be inferred from the result of the study that each Variable: vertical jump height increased significantly in Group A and B after stretching but there was no significance in group B in the vertical jump height test in which cryotherapy was given first. Cryotherapy significantly increased the 20 meter sprint. Agility increased with dynamic stretching. On comparing the two groups-A and B, it was found that the sequence of altered interventions given (dynamic stretching/ cryotherapy) do not give any significant difference in the results as a whole.

Published: March 2021

Background: Organ donation is defined as an act of giving one or more organs, without compensation, for transplantation to another person. For many of the end stage organ diseases, organ transplantation is the most preferred treatment. The need for organ transplantation is higher than the availability. For the transplantation program to be successful awareness regarding organ donation is needed and people must have a positive attitude towards donating organs. The present study was undertaken to assess the attitude of general population towards organ donation residing in a rural community of Ernakulam District. Materials and methods: A descriptive analytical survey was conducted to assess the attitude of general population towards organ donation. A 5 point likert scale was used to assess the attitude towards organ donation. 100 subjects were selected using convenient sampling technique. The collected data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The results of the study revealed that among 100 subjects, 81% of general population were having positive attitude, 19% were having neutral attitude and none of the subjects were having negative attitude towards organ donation. Even though majority of subjects were having positive attitude towards organ donation only 34% subjects were willing for organ donation. There was a significant association between the attitude of general population towards organ donation with demographic variables like religion and history of organ transplantation among family members/ relatives/ friends at P<0.05 level of significance. Conclusion: The study revealed that majority of the participants were having positive attitude towards organ donation.
Metering and Reactive Compensation Unit (MRCU) for Improved Energy Efficiency and Management - Supply of Electricity to Agricultural Consumers
Authors:   President & CTO, Iris Energy LLC, New Jersey, USA, (An SSL Company), Chandran Deepak R
Published: March 2021

In order to meet the growing demands of electricity, it is imperative to increase the efficiency of distribution system and reduce all wastage of energy. In this paper, the data from the distribution companies and regulatory bodies are analysed to identify the inefficiencies existing in the electricity distribution to the agriculture consumers of the state of Gujarat in India. The primary causes for the inefficiencies in the system are absence of effective monitoring and correct and reliable data on the usage of electricity by agricultural consumers, and the technical loses of electricity on account of low Power Factor and poor voltage regulation. The paper proposes a comprehensive solution to address the identified problems by way of installing a Metering Reactive Compensation Unit (MRCU) independent of consumers’ energy meters. MRCU will contain capacitors for reactive compensation, relay and switching unit, metering unit for current, voltage, Kilowatt, KVARH and KWH, and LORA based communication module for 24x7 data capture. The data captured at the cloud level will be analysed by a head end software system for real time reports and corrective actions. The estimated monetary benefits from installing MRCUs for entire Gujarat’s agricultural consumers is estimated to be Rs 1500 Crore in a year, apart from an estimated energy saving of close to 2000 MUs per year.

Effect Of Performance Expectancy And Social Influence On Continuance Intention In OVO
Authors: Richard Andrew, Februarga P. Akwila Zoel Hutabarat, Ian N. Suryawan,
Published: March 2021

The development of online transactions is driving the development of technology in payment systems. One of the most popular electronic money services in Indonesia is OVO. Behind OVO's rapid market share growth, system maintenance problems often arise that often occur without notice and are of long duration. This phenomenon is a doubt of consumers to continue to use OVO in the long term going forward because it does not match expectations and consequently consumers will look for alternative payments. This experience makes consumers unable to feel the price saving program offered and consequently consumers become dissatisfied. This study used a sample of 200 respondents, with a purposive sampling method, and with a questionnaire of 24 indicators. The result found that there is the influence of performance expectancy, social influence on continuance intention. Meanwhile there is no relation to variable effort expectancy, price saving orientation and facilitating conditions to continuance intention.
Rozwój przemysłu samochodowego w Brazylii w latach 1957–2005
Authors: Wójtowicz Mirosław
Published: March 2021

The article examines development of the Brazilian automobile sector from the path-breaking program of installation an automotive industry in 1956 until the year 2005. The efforts of the Brazilian government to produce motor vehicles were part of a general import-substituting development strategy. The main aim of this plan was to restrict import of cars and completely or semi-knocked-down kits (CKDs or SKDs), which were assembled locally, and forced international automotive companies to choose between abandoning the Brazilian market and, with the help of financial incentives, producing cars with 90–95% Brazilian-made content within five years.The plan implemented by Brazil’s government was successful in accelerating the development of automobile sector. After the recession period in the early and mid-1960s, partially induced by the military coup d’état in 1964, at the end of the 1960s the automobile sector showed signs of having achieved maturity. During the 1970s production of this industry was growing very fast, exceeding the level of 1 million cars in the year 1980. The raise in the prices of petroleum at the end of the 1970s triggered off an economic crisis in Brazil, lasting until the beginning of the 1990.The process of economic stabilization undertaken since the implementation of the Fernando Cardoso’s “Plano Real” in 1994 led to relative economic stability, which, despite the period of economic crises in late 1998 and early 1999– lasted until the year 2005. Economic stabilization drove car manufacturers to the second large expansion at the Brazilian automobile sector. The combined value of investments in the years 1994–2001 exceeded 14.8 millions USD. It was connected with the second large wave of migration of international car manufactures to Brazil (Tab. 1).As a result of such large investments the car production exceeded the level of 2.5 millions vehicles, of which more than 2 millions constituted passenger cars. New FDI in this sector produced also a strong territorial competition among Brazilian states, which triggered short-term spells of economic growth in the place of new investment but was unlikely to lead to any long-term economic benefits (Rodriguez-Poze, Arbix 2001). One of clearly visible effects of new investments is geographical dispersion of automobile industry, and the end of domination in car manufacturing of the state of São Paulo (Fig. 4). The second great improvement took place in productivity of the Brazilian car factories. The productivity per worker increased, in the years 1990-2005, from 7.8 to 26.8 vehicles per employee per annum, which was connected with production modernization in existing plants, and implementation of new technology in “greenfield” plants, and resulted in employment reduction (Fig. 5).
Badanie struktur przemysłowych w Polsce w dobie globalizacji ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem struktury przestrzennej
Authors: Gierańczyk Wiesława
Published: March 2021

Globalization as the drive of socio-economic and political transformations shapes the new order of the modern world. The imperative of constant economic growth forces the search for new sources of optimization of industrial activity, e.g. through extensive division of labour, searching for cheap labour, specialization of activity, tightening the bonds between particular sectors of the national economy, using new technological achievements and new organizational solutions (production fragmentation), and political activity (systematic reduction of barriers in goods, services and capital global flow). Globalization also causes far-reaching changes in the functioning of industry. As a consequence, the object of research in industrial geography changes, as well as the theme- and research range of industrial structures (systems). Traditionally the analysis of structural systems was conducted on the planes of: divisions (branches), ownership, size, and space. In the globalization era, as a result of strong influence of science and technology on industry, especially in organizational, technological, but also logistic spheres, individuation of each of the above-mentioned structures becomes highly problematic.In the light of the above, the author of the present paper examines the applicability of the spatial auto-corellation analysis in identification of patterns of spatial dependencies and spatial heterogeneity of industrial activity, on the example of the Kujawsko-pomorskie voivodship. The main assumption of auto-corellation analysis is based on the claim that the intensity of phenomena in a spatial unit depends on their level in neighbouring units. Experimental analysis of auto-corellative dependencies with respect to the industrial activity development and spatial influence of this activity seems to be a helpful method in identifying industrial spatial structures. It enables determination of patterns of spatial heterogeneity and other patterns of spatial dependencies. Using this method enables to diagnose a low degree of spatial dependency of units with respect to industrial development, and to notice the tendency of polarization of the industrial activity distribution.
Problematyka badawcza przemysłu w geografii na tle nauk ekonomicznych
Authors: Czapliński Paweł
Published: March 2021

Currently, there are many premises which invite a debate on the role and position of the geography of industry among geographic sciences, and – possibly above all – among the sciences researching the economic processes, especially those focusing on economic structures. It should be emphasized that, owing to the research subject, the scale of the research itself and the methodological framework, there is strong resemblance between geography of industry and economy of industry. There is, however, serious divergence of perception of both sciences by the society and the scientists themselves. Meanwhile, geography of science, if widely underrated, can offer a range of research possibilities very similar to that of economy of science. What it lacks is a certain fresh perspective and its own – not adopted – research methods. Thus, the future of the geography of science seems uncertain, because maintaining the status quo means the state of temporariness, and in a larger perspective – its scientific non-existence. There is a possibility, however, that consolidation of geographic sub-branches might occur under the name of economic geography. As a consequence, economic geography will be accepted as a legitimate science in the area of economic research.

Published: March 2021

The aim of the paper is to present the role of industrial activity in the economy of European Union regional systems, with a special reference to Poland, measured by the employment rate and gross added value. Defining the range of influence of regional industry should allow us to define the places of accumulation of new development advantages, which is important from the perspective of the development of these areas. To assess the recent changes in the space of European industry in regional systems, a dynamic analysis of the discussed processes was carried out, covering the period of economic transformation of the Central and Eastern Europe countries and their integration with the European Union. To analyze the function of industry in the development of knowledge-based economy, the authors identified the relationship between the amount of investment in industry and the potential employees in research and development activities. The authors also attempt to assess the suitability of various measures of industrial development to determine their role in regional economic systems in the conditions of intensifying processes of globalization and European integration.

On the problem of spatial placement of the companies engaged in emotions
Authors: Lidin Konstantin L. , Sumenkova Maria E.
Published: March 2021

There are whole areas of the modern market in which the emotional aspect of economic behavior initially plays a paramount role. These are the areas of manufacture and distribution of luxury goods, show-business and the so-called the market of cultural values – cinema, theatre, music and so on. The emotions of pleasure, pride and interest are most demanded in the markets. However, not smaller demand exists for the emotions which can be perceived as negative – fear, uneasiness, gloating, anger.The market of emotions is out of control in terms of harm that some emotions can cause to the consumer. The system of protection of consumer rights is not working in this market segment. As a result, “goods filled with emotions” can freely transmit pathogenic (neurotic) images.The main type of enterprises that produce the emotions are the media. The spatial structure of location of such enterprises is poorly investigated. However, it is obvious that most of the emotional contented images are produced in large cities and metropolitan areas – megapolises and megalopolises. The images contain the emotions that are characteristic for the lifestyle of inhabitants living in a large and mega-urban agglomerations.We have developed a special technique of frequency content analysis for measuring the emotional essence of the texts. The method is to measure the relative frequency of lemmas, signifying the emotions of different types and varying intensity. The emotional spectrum of some media outlets in years 2007–2010 were studied. The total input array was of about 250,000 words.
Siberian regional policy: the past and modern problems
Authors: Blinov Ivan
Published: March 2021

The regional development of Siberia faces some difficulties nowadays and they are thought to be the result of historical development. According to American authors, Clifford Gaddy and Fiona Hill (“The Siberian Curse”), as well as some Russian scientists, such problems stem from the period of Soviet abusive colonization of Siberia, or even earlier – from the period of monarchy. But it is essentially hard to realize the situation of Siberia from the perspective of Moscow, let alone from abroad. It is also difficult to imagine the huge differences in territorial proportions, contrasts in Siberian regions, and distances between cities. So it is not acceptable to use non-geographical, dot methods in solving regional problems of Siberia. In fact, the regional problems are very complicated and multilateral, and we should study them with an open mind. Development of Siberia, the Eastern and Northern territories, was not something special in Soviet times. It was based on the whole country large-scale development plans and strategic objectives

Wykorzystanie funduszy strukturalnych UE w przedsiębiorstwach Małopolski jako czynnik rozwoju gospodarki opartej na wiedzy i innowacji
Authors: Murzyna Dorota
Published: March 2021

Celem artykułu jest analiza wykorzystania funduszy strukturalnych UE przez małopolskieprzedsiębiorstwa w kontekście budowania gospodarki opartej na wiedzy i innowacji. Przedsiębiorstwasą jednym z głównych aktorów budowania gospodarki opartej na wiedzy i innowacji. Należą one takżedo najważniejszych beneficjentów funduszy unijnych. Rodzi się zatem pytanie, jak wykorzystywanesą te środki, czy i na ile przyczyniają się one do budowania gospodarki opartej na wiedzy i innowacji,a na ile służą zaspokajaniu jedynie bieżących potrzeb. Fundusze polityki spójności alokowanesą regionalnie. W celu przeprowadzenia analizy wykorzystania tych środków przez przedsiębiorstwaz Małopolski, przeprowadzono badania, przede wszystkim w oparciu o bazę projektów KrajowegoSystemu Informatycznego SIMIK 07-13 (stan na dzień 30.09.2012).Bez modernizacji przemysłu nie jest możliwe takie nadrobienie zaległości rozwojowych, aby zapewnićspójność z regionami Unii Europejskiej. Znaczne środki kierowane są zatem na ten cel w ramachunijnej polityki spójności. Polska jest obecnie jej największym beneficjentem, a priorytetem w alokacjiśrodków europejskich na rozwój konkurencyjnej gospodarki opartej na wiedzy jest obszar przedsiębiorczości.Zdecydowana większość projektów realizowanych przez małopolskie przedsiębiorstwa przy wsparciuz funduszy UE to projekty innowacyjne. Ilościowo jednak przeważają projekty o mniejszym potencjalew tym zakresie, np. projekty służące wzrostowi działalności eksportowej. Niepokój może budzić fakt,że jedynie niewielka liczba projektów służyć ma wsparciu wdrożenia wyników prac B+R, wsparciuw zakresie rozwoju działalności B+R w przedsiębiorstwach, czy współpracy środowiska naukowobadawczegoz przedsiębiorcami.

Industrial activities have a notable percentage in whole national economies. Thus, it is necessaryto follow the development of the industrial activities to be able to review economic development.Identification of similarities or differences among countries provides the ability to notice more clearlythe level of regional development and its problems. However, it makes complex subject with a largenumber of data and with different national data methodology for each country and year. Statisticalanalysis is a proven tool to make it easier. The goal was to follow the developments since it has the abilityto summarize complex data. In this study, we found out similar characteristics among EU Countries(except Croatia which joined EU in 2013) and Turkey by using export and import rates, industrialproduction index, recent prices, percent of GDP of industry parameters in industrial sector variables.Squared Euclid distance, Pearson proximity matrix and Ward’s method were used to calculate distancesbetween different countries variables and to find out country groups which have similar developmentcharacteristics. The analyses were supported with dendogram and maps.
