Celebration of a military doctor : an unknown poem by Johannes Gregor Macer Szepsius (ca. 1530 – after 1579)
Authors: Šimon František , Steger Florian
Published: February 2023

Johannes Gregor Macer Szepsius (ca. 1530 – after 1579) wrote an epigram in praise of his friend Anton Schneeberger (1530–1581) and a celebratory poem on his genealogy, both appearing in Schneeberger's most famous book, De bona militum valetudine conservanda [On the Good Health of Soldiers] in 1564. However, the poem praising Schneeberger's ancestry appears only in the printed version of the book; a surviving manuscript copy of the work in the Palace Library in Ansbach, Germany, features a paean in celebration of the military doctor instead. From a literary perspective, the poem does not surpass the standard level of occasional poetry of this period. Since it is a celebratory poem, the high regard for the doctor is expressed there and this stance contradicts the criticism of the status of the medical profession found in Macer's other works.
Anton Martin Lublinský, that is Karl Dankwart : a few words about the painting Martin Středa as defender of Brno and its author
Authors: Kozieł Andrzej
Published: February 2023

The painting Martin Středa as defender of Brno (Moravian Gallery in Brno) is the most monumental representation of the Jesuit Martin Středa / Stredonius (1587–1649), who won fame and the eternal gratitude of the citizens of Brno for his active participation in the defence of the city during the four-month siege by the Swedish army in 1645. Older authors saw Michael Willmann as the author of the painting. However, Milan Togner attributed this work to Anton Martin Lublinský (1636–1690). As it turns out today, the author of this monumental work was Karl Dankwart († 1704) – the author of numerous fresco decorations and oil paintings and court painter to the Polish king John III Sobieski. The authorship of this Silesian artist of Swedish origin is supported both by formal analogies and the provenance of the painting from the former Jesuit conventin Brno. Dankwart's painting of Father Středa was probably a part of the gallery of full-figure portraits of the founders and benefactors of the convent. We can assume that the picture was not the only work that Dankwart produced for the Jesuits of Brno.
Prameny k tvorbě Huberta Maurera a Johanna Georga Däringera
Authors: Suchánek Pavel
Published: February 2023

A short study with an edition of the correspondence of the Viennese painters Hubert Maurer (1738–1818) and Johann Georg Däringer (1759–1809) gives several important details on painting practice in Central Europe at the end of the 18th century. In t he first place, the painter's method of working with drawn sketches is worthy of attention. On the one hand, Maurer used them for the continuous reworking of his earlier, frequently reused compositions. On the other hand, he used his working drawings to communicate with clients, to whom however they did not give them a completely accurate idea of the intended composition, and the painter himself urged them not to consider them completely binding, as he anticipated reconsideration of a composition during his work. This phase of the continuous search for a final shape might even coincide in time with the phase of starting work on the altarpiece itself. Maurer's reluctance to create sample oil sketches for the client was also related to this, since working on them would needlessly deprive him of the time needed to "better finalise the altarpiece itself" and would make his work disproportionately more expensive. In the end, the published correspondence bears witness to the financial problems which, at the time of the reforms of Emperor Joseph II in the 1780s and in the following two decades, complicated the new outfitting of sacral interiors.
Eine Auftragsarbeit Paul Trogers für Trebitsch (Třebíč) : zur Identifikation eines ursprünglichen Bildes vom Hauptaltar der Pfarrkirche St. Martin
Authors: Arijčuk Petr
Published: February 2023

The last ten years of his life belong to the little-considered sections of the life and work of the Vienna-based painter Paul Troger (1698–1762). The start of the 1750s had already brought significant changes into his personal and professional life; these also significantly subdued his creative activity, which was further limited by health problems from the mid-1750s onwards. In practice these prevented him from personal involvement in work on frescos. Although Troger continued to accept commissions, he entrusted their implementation to a large extent to his collaborators and former students of the Vienna Academy (Josef Hauzinger, Franz Zoller). A certain space for him to work alone was offered by the painting of hanging and altar pictures, which did not require such physical effort. An interesting individual contribution to our knowledge of this final period of Troger's work is offered by a previously unnoticed and unassigned picture St Martin sharing his cloak with a beggar from the collections of the Moravian Gallery in Brno. With the help of reports on sources, this painting can be clearly identified with an original image painted around 1758 for the main altar of the parish church of St Martin in Třebíč. Troger was probably contacted by his friend, sculptor Josef Winterhalder the Elder (1702–1769), approached after 1755 regarding the construction of a new main altar. Troger accepted the commission, but the painting itself was then painted by one of his collaborators.
ON HYPERSURFACE OF THE FINSLER SPACE OBTAINED BY CONFORMAL β− CHANGE
Authors: Shukla H. S. , Mishra Neelam , Shukla Vivek
Published: February 2023

The conformal β− change of Finsler metric L(x, y) is given by L∗(x, y) = eσ(x) f (L(x, y), β(x, y)), where σ(x) is a function of x, β(x, y) = b i (x)yi is a one-form on the underlying manifold Mn , and f(L(x, y), β(x, y)) is a homogeneous function of degree one in L and β. Let Fn and F∗n be Finsler spaces with metric functions L and L∗ respectively. In this paper we study the hypersurface of F∗n and find condition under which this hypersurface becomes a hyperplane of first kind, a hyperplane of second kind and a hyperplane of third kind. In this endeavour we connect quantities of F∗n with those of Fn . When the hypersurface of F∗n is a hyperplane of first kind, we investigate the conditions under which it becomes a Landsberg space, a Berwald space, or a locally Minkowskian space.

Published: February 2023

More emphasis has been laid on the welfare of animals and themorality of this approach as its use in research projects has increased.Dissemination of knowledge regarding current ethical issues andalternatives in animal experimentation serves two crucial purposes:first, it makes researchers more aware of potential ways to use animalsin experiments, and second, it makes sure that potential users areaware of the available alternatives. It is not a privilege to be able toutilise animals in research labs. Certain members of the scientificcommunity have been granted this privilege by society, and it comeswith the need to abide by the relevant laws, regulations, policies, andstandards as well as work to improve them. For instance, laws passedin many nations throughout the 1980s mandate that applications usinglaboratory animals should be minimised, improved, and replacedwhenever possible in accordance with the 3Rs. As a result, expertsfrom around the world worked to put the 3Rs into practise to safeguardthe wellbeing of laboratory animals used in scientific research. Thisreview article covers a collection of articles that examine how animallaws, regulations, and standards operate in various nations.

Published: February 2023

Motion tracking apps are used for a lot of different things, like finding traffic jams and counting the number of cars going through a traffic light. The datasets come from many places on the internet, like YouTube and public dataset archives. There are about 20 videos that are tagged with the words "traffic" and "traffic camera video" and run for 10 to 30 seconds. The Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) method is the proposed model. It separates the background from the tracked object, which is needed to do motion tracking. Then, the GMM method groups pixel data based on the background color of each pixel. After the cluster is made, the input is matched as a distribution, with the most common distribution used as the background. The analysis was done using MATLAB2019B. The results of this study show that the GMM method can adapt to the background. This is shown by the fact that testing of some of the given conditions went well.

The article considers the development of the basic structures of an artificial neural network, which provides, along with solving the applied problem of allocating resources aimed at eliminating emergencies, also forecasting for the tasks of assessing the consequences of decisions taken on the choice of specific strategies for eliminating the consequences of accidents and emergencies in railway transport in conditions of structural and parametric uncertainty. A new formalized representation of the model has been developed for the tasks of recognizing the situation and making primary decisions. The model differs from the known ones in that it takes into account the information dependencies of the situation parameters that are available to decision makers. This makes it possible to formalize the decision-making process for recognizing and predicting the situation.

Литым деталям тележек грузовых вагонов свойственна приобретенная эксплуатационная дефектность (усталостные трещины), а также исходная технологическая дефектность, которая характерна для крупногабаритных отливок сложной конфигурации. Данная дефектность может привести к аварийным разрушениям литых деталей тележек в процессе их эксплуатации. Изломы боковых рам тележек грузовых вагонов нередко сопровождаются сходом вагона с рельсов, создают угрозу безопасности движения поездов, представляют опасность для жизни и здоровья граждан, приносят значительные убытки. В статье для оценки напряженнодеформированного состояния боковой рамы предложена конечно-элементная модель. Рассмотрены схемы нагружения и методики испытания боковых рам.

Cast parts of trucks of freight cars are characterized by acquired operational defects (fatigue cracks), as well as initial technological defects, which are characteristic of large-sized castings of complex configuration. This defect can lead to accidental destruction of the cast parts of the trolleys during their operation. Fractures of the side frames of trucks of freight cars are often accompanied by a derailment of the car, pose a threat to the safety of train traffic, pose a danger to the life and health of citizens, and cause significant losses. In the article, a finite element model is proposed to assess the stress-strain state of the side frame. Loading schemes and testing methods of side frames are considered.

Survey vehicles, operating at traffic-speed, are deployed across the road network to assess the condition of road pavements. These apply high-quality (and high cost) equipment to measure condition. However, significant progress has been made in the development of low-cost sensors and data collection units that may have potential for application in highways. This project has aimed to understand the capabilities of this emerging technology. The project explores the technologies and combines a Raspberry-Pi based Data Acquisition System, compact camera, GPS, inertial measurement system, Wifi and 4G GSM comms and a low-cost Solid State LiDAR into a prototype device. The total cost is a few hundred pounds. Trials characterise the prototype system. Although the solid-state LiDAR sensors are not found to be robust in this application, the remaining sensors show strong potential for use in road condition assessment. A wider trial of the prototype system in a potential application – the measurement of roughness (IRI) on developing world road networks – was carried out in El Salvador. The prototype shows comparable performance with alternatives, combined with higher levels of practicality and capability, and the potential for higher levels of consistency through a common low-cost measurement platform. In the light of this research, it is felt that, following refinements to the prototype, the initial application for the device would be for condition surveys in developing world nations.

The last decade has seen a growing interest in market-based approaches to poverty reduction. Since the publication of Prahalad’s Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid in 2004, businesses, entrepreneurs, and researchers have investigated ways to tap into this fortune. Many researchers have suggested that companies could both do well financially and contribute to social good by serving the bottom two-thirds of the global economic pyramid and effectively raising members of this rapidly growing base of this pyramid (BOP) out of poverty (Agnihotri, 2013; Hammond et al., 2007; London, 2007; Prahalad & Hart, 1999). Although there have been many debates concerning the efficacy of BOP ventures in alleviating poverty (Arora & Romijn, 2012; Karnani, 2007; Warnholz, 2007), companies, entrepreneurs, and practitioners have found ways to profitably navigate the challenging market of the world’s poor and ultra-poor while simultaneously providing products and services that address their unique and localized social and economic needs. However, previously, no theoretical constructs guided the research or practice of market-based approaches to poverty. In 2008, the United Nations Development Program published a database of 50 case studies of ventures that demonstrated positive social impacts at the BOP and developed a conceptual framework of using BOP-centric strategies to overcome common constraints. Three years later, additional cases were published. This paper conducted a systematic review of 61 case studies to test this model, resulting in a holistic model synthesizing the various approaches. A comparative analysis provided insight into the importance of each component depending on various factors.. The research suggested that role of the poor, the industry, BOP-appropriate business models and the partnerships influence the development and the success of the BOP businesses.

There is an increasing demand and critical importance for those in academic positions to beconducting high quality research in addition to teaching well and successfully obtaining grants is oftennecessary to fund such scientific inquiry (Shaw, 2002). Faculty members in academic or researchpositions are likely to be among those spending the most time on such efforts as successful grantwriting to support both research and scholarly productivity is compulsory for flourishing in these jobs(Hasche, Perron & Proctor, 2009). In fact, most job announcements in the Chronicle of HigherEducation list the ability to acquire external funding as a leading factor in hiring decisions amongcandidates. Successful grant writing is every bit as important for keeping a new job once it has beenobtained as new faculty members failing to meet a high standard of funded research and scholarshipare typically released from employment after a predetermined period of time (Cater, Lew, Smith,2008). According to Inouye and Fiellin (2005), "the competition for funds to conduct clinical research isintense, and only a minority of grant proposals receive funding" (p. 274). Adding to the difficulty andpressure to secure extramural funding in a new research position, universities are currently receivingless federal and state funding and are relying more heavily on their faculty to obtain external grantmoney (Toews & Yazedjian, 2007).

In any organization, effective administration of the resources available is very important and paramountto the attainment of its objectives. The human aspect of the resources is most important and crucial asit is the one responsible for the co-ordination of other factors and more importantly conflict situationamong staff cannot be over-emphasized. It is known fact that no two workers are the same, even twinsare only alike.Nwakwo (1987), Craston (2002) and Onanuga and Arikewuyo (2005) describes administration as thecareful and systematic arrangements and use of resources (human and material), situation andopportunities for the achievement of specific objectives of a given organization. To this end, it is worthyof note that effective organizational administration is necessary for managing conflict situation in anysystem, such should be embedded in the day-to-day running of the industry. Conforming to thisviewpoint, Peretomode (2001) describes administration as the performance of executive duties, thecarryout of policies or decisions to fulfill a purpose, and the controlling of the day-to-day running of anorganization. To this extent, among the very important duties of an administrator, is the management ofconflict among workers of different categories.

What is full-daykindergarten? Miller (2005)provides a clear explanation: "Afull-day kindergarten program is a program in which a child attends school eachweekday for approximately six hours. Two other types of programs are half-daykindergarten programs, in which the child attends school each weekday for 2½-3hours in either the morning or the afternoon, and alternate-day kindergartenprograms, in which the child attends school every other weekday" (p.1). Up to this point in time, thelattertwo types of programs were operating in the province of Ontario. So, why the change?

Just as the quality of teachers affects students’ academic success, the quality of school leadership issignificantly related to student achievement, (Leithwood and Jantzi, 2000). The job of the schooladministrator is challenging in any set of circumstances, but the leadership in low and marginallyperforming schools presents additional and unique challenges. In fact, some districts are faced with thesocio-economic circumstances often correlated with poor performance (Heck, 1992). Breaking thecycle of poverty for these students is much more likely to occur if the type of quality educationalprogramming afforded to prospective school administrators is dramatically and innovatively enhanced.

Nationwide, whites are employed in a majority ofsuperintendent positions (Glass, 2006). According to Bjork (2000), blacks represent 5% of thesuperintendents in America. The remaining 95% are white. Previous studies of the superintendencyhave researched career paths, school board/superintendent relationships, minority superintendents,gender, leadership styles, and professional preparation (Glass, 2006; Clisbee, 2004; Revere, 2003Lunenburg, 2003; Tallerico, 2000; Shakeshaft, 1999; Moody, 1970). None, however, have comparedpossible leadership practice differences between black and white superintendents.

Faculty can never do enough. We need them to teach, write, advise, mentor, network, and conductgroundbreaking research. And when we are faced with extremely limited budgets, hiring freezes, andincreased pressure to bring in research funds, university faculty are counted on to pick up the fallenpieces. Academic leaders find themselves asking faculty to give more time and effort to assist inadvancing their institutions, but at what price? Typically, as leaders demand more of the faculty, moraletends to decrease and grumbling skyrockets. In actuality, it is like that in any organization. However, it isno secret that leader-subordinate relationships in academic settings are not quite the same as those inbusiness and commerce. Academic leaders do not have the same managerial dynamic with theirfaculty as a vice president of a manufacturing company would with his or her employees. The powerand authority those professionals use to motivate their employees is not the best way to engage facultyin higher education.

This study was undertaken to explore the relationship between supportive climate and organizational commitment as mediated by trust and employee engagement. In a field test of 243 engineers and technicians from a Fortune 100 multinational firm, participants completed surveys about their organization's supportive climate, trust in their organization's leadership, affective organizational commitment, and engagement. Support for all hypotheses was found: (1) positive relationship between supportive climate and organizational commitment, and both (2) trust and (3) employee engagement mediated the climate-commitment relationship. Limitations of this study include generalizability of findings and common method bias. In human capital intensive industries, the value of human resources is measured in behavioral manifestations (e.g. turnover) of low trust, engagement, commitment, and a less than supportive work environment. By understanding the relationships among those variables managers can actively manage their human capital.

The main aim of the missionary education was to reach Christianity and thus convert all those whocame within the four walls of the mission house. The British colonial Missions set up norms of religiouseducation that progressively colonized the converts. Religious education primarily meant carrying outcivic duties which enabled Nigerians to adopt the Western culture at the expense of their own.Prior to the coming of Western religions and education, Nigerians were very religious and alsofunctional in their education. They acknowledged the presence of God in whatever they did. Theirreligion therefore cut across their entire lives in farming, fishing, dancing festivals, eating, travelling etc.Virtues such as honesty, truthfulness, love for one another, morality were highly prized. On the otherhand their kind of education was not seen as the ability to read and write. It meant to prepare theindividual to live a meaningful life by being useful to them and contribute effectively to the developmentof the entire society Fafunwa (1976) described this type of education as functional because the childdevelops his abilities, attitudes and other forms of behaviour which are of positive value of the society.

Since the early 1980s, the concept of quality has been a central focus of attention in the debate ofhigher education (HE). Over time, many developed countries have experienced a growing concern forquality in HE such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Norway, and the United States of America,amongst others (Anyamele 2004, Becket and Brookes 2005). The focus on quality leads manydeveloped countries to acknowledge the benefits of the implementation of Total Quality Management(TQM) within their institutions (Kanji and Tambi, 1999). However, quality movement is rather slow in theHE of developing countries. Indeed, some HEIs have established systems of quality assurance andcontrol but in different degrees of complexity and effectiveness (Anyamele, 2007).

Formal Academic Disciplinary Actions and Entry Into The Accounting Profession

This paper examines whether formal academic disciplinary actions are considered by state boards when a candidate applies for the CPA exam. Because of the importance of ethics to the accounting profession, careful screening of entrants to the profession seems warranted. As more colleges and universities adopt honor codes with formalized systems to adjudicate alleged violations, it seems that the profession should capture this information from the applicants to the CPA exam. I examine the initial application form from all the boards of accountancy. I find only one state which directly asks about academic disciplinary actions and few others who have questions that might capture the information. I discuss the value of such information and make a case for why it should be collected.

Black and Hispanic students are underrepresented at selective colleges and universities in the UnitedStates (Dickerson and Jacobs 2006; Niu et al. 2006). The colleges themselves also play a role bydeciding which students are admitted. Since Black and Hispanic students have lower average SATscores than White and Asian students (Davies and Guppy 1997) and Black students have loweraverage GMAT scores than White and Asian students (Cross and Slater 1998), heavy emphasis onthese test scores in admissions decisions may limit the opportunities for Black and Hispanic students.However, the long-term implications of enrollment patterns and economic returns of selective collegeadmissions create a need for a more thorough analysis of the issue.

One only has to reflect on what it took them to learn and master an activity and a few things may cometo mind. Perhaps the activity was learning Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), and if so, theprocess for learning the task, really learning it, involved making many associations with the task. In linewith constructivism, the instructor likely began the course by transferring-in what the learner knew aboutcardiac arrest or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. As a learner, this may have caused one to reflect on areal or televised event that included chest compressions and rescue breathing. For the teacher whobegan the lesson by assisting the learner with bringing in the information into the learning environment,the stage has been set for learning to occur. This is because, also in line with constructivism, we tend tobuild upon what we have learned.

In a group project environment, students often do not fulfill their obligations in hopes of benefiting from the work of others. This phenomenon is referred to as social loafing. Group performance researchers have consistently observed that individuals exert less effort when their efforts are pooled compared to when their efforts are considered individually. This study examines the role of motivation and its components (Expectancy, Instrumentality, and Valence), as modeled by Expectancy-Value theory, in controlling the phenomenon of Social Loafing in marketing group project situations. The study further examines the effects of student equity/inequity perceptions on the social loafing phenomena. Data from marketing research students were collected to examine hypotheses based on expectancy-value and equity theories. Results suggest that when instructors clearly and forcefully provide guidance that tend to reinforce expectancies, the social loafing behavior is likely to decline. Findings also suggest that creating and forcefully enforcing equitable rules and guidelines can reduce social loafing. In addition, instructors can assist in creating an environment where students perceive a higher degree of control on classroom activities, further reducing social loafing phenomenon.

Since their establishment, schools have played a central role in the socialization process of children.Children and youth of diverse backgrounds, socioeconomic status, and varying ability are broughttogether in large numbers on a daily basis. For many students, the hours they spend in school are thebest hours of the day to develop behaviorally and academically. The schools are responsible forhelping these individuals develop critical skills and essential life skills in order to live successful lives.The repertoire of abilities goes further than the slender band of word-and-number skills that schoolstraditionally focus on. By giving students the opportunity to improve, these educational institutions havean enormous opportunity for gaining shared and collective values that help children sustain a safe andhealthy society.
Web-Enhanced Instruction: A Mixed Bag

Professionals are being expected to function in a progressively complex environment in all fields (Twale & Kochan, 2000). Technology plays a significant role in this challenge (Diem, 2002; Karlen, 2001), particularly for educational leaders (Mendis, 2002). Teaching and leading have become increasingly multifaceted art forms with the advent of learning technologies. University and school faculty are being expected to design, deliver, and assess successful online courses (Fuks, Gerosa, & de Lucena, 2002; Mendis, 2002), often without the necessary training and support (Walker, 2002). As face-to-face contact becomes reduced through online environments, effective communication becomes essential and barriers more pronounced (e.g., Creanor, 2002). It is important to note that distance education studies have associated high-quality interaction with satisfaction for remote learners (e.g., Sorensen & Baylen, 2000). The results that this study shares provide support for this important finding in the context of doctoral learning.

Outcome information has been shown to have a significant impact on performance evaluations in a wide variety of decision settings. Studies of outcome effects on performance evaluation typically examine a one-time decision. Often, however, managers must repeatedly evaluate performance. This study examines how outcome information affects the revision of multiple performance evaluations over time. The results have important implications for research into the sensitivity of evaluators to the sequence of the receipt of positive and negative information. Implications of these results for performance evaluation in multiple areas of business are discussed.

The ability of comprehend test-based assessments implies careful training and the question arises ofthe dynamics of the tests and measurements course which are required for masters level counselingstudents. Research has focused thoroughly on education and training in psychological assessmentsaddressing issues such as how students ought to be trained in the area (Childs & Eyde, 1990),however little investigation has been done on how students perceive the tests and measurementscourse. While studies have shed light on the fact that often students themselves tend to question theadequacy of their training (Dempster, 1990; Hilsenroth & Handler, 1995), there is still lack in researchregarding the disposition of students prior to training.
