Pushing costs upstream and risks downstream: Making a journal publisher profitable
Authors: Neylon Cameron
Published: February 2024

I’m not quite sure exactly what was the reason but there was a recent flare-up of the good old “how much does it cost to publish a scholarly article” discussion recently. Partly driven by the Guardian article from last month on the history of 20th century scholarly publishing.

I’ve been conflicted about posting this. I had planned to write something along these lines for several weeks but the murder of Jo Cox threw that sideways. The way I write tends to involve pushing words around in my head for a week or so, and then writing it all out. Thus most of this existed in some form prior to her murder but it was not written down.

Authors: Azevedo Ana Paula Zaikievicz , Moraes Claudia Diniz de , Almeida Luciane Pinho de
Published: February 2024

O presente relato tem como objetivo apresentar as ações desenvolvidas em um projeto de extensão da Universidade Católica Dom Bosco (UCDB) em Campo Grande/MS, cujo denomina-se “Cidadania sem fronteiras”. Para tanto, para uma melhor organização, dividimos o texto em três seções. Sendo que na primeira seção, tecemos algumas discussões acerca do conceito e da importância da extensão universitária. Posteriormente, na segunda seção, apresentamos características do projeto “Cidadania sem fronteiras” e na terceira seção, apresentamos alguns dos resultados obtidos com o projeto ao longo do ano de 2021. Sabemos que a temática da migração e do refúgio está em pauta em diversas pesquisas, meios de comunicações e iniciativas governamentais e sociais, no entanto, o índice de migrantes e refugiados tem crescido significativamente nos últimos anos no mundo, neste sentido, o projeto oportuniza a disseminação de informações sobre a temática da migração, a fim de ampliar as discussões sobre a migração e o refúgio não somente na extensão, mas também ampliar este diálogo para o ensino e a pesquisa. Acreditamos que as atividades de extensão possibilitam um espaço de aprendizagem que contribui de maneira significativa, tanto para os acadêmicos, como para professores e principalmente para a comunidade atendida. Desta forma, a extensão é vista como um espaço privilegiado para a formação do ser humano, no sentido de prepará-lo para a vida em sociedade, ou seja, não somente preparar para uma área de atuação, mas para enfrentar novos desafios e torná-lo um cidadão consciente.

Educação Física para pessoas em situação de rua: uma reflexão da capoeira a partir do fato social
Authors: Beltrme Luis Gustavo Normanton , Amaral Rita de Cássia Martins Simões , Oliveira Fabio Aurélio Silva , Mohamed Caroline Piske de Azevedo
Published: February 2024

As imposições expressas por uma determinada sociedade, refletida em forma de agir, pensar e sentir, as quais apresentam-se marcadamente como fatores exteriores ao indivíduo podem exercer um poder imperativo e coercitivo da sociedade sobre eles. Tal perspectiva tem sido observada em pessoas em situação de rua (PSR). Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo uma análise reflexiva da Educação Física, em sua perspectiva pedagógica e sociocultural do corpo em movimento, tendo como base entendimento da PSR a luz do “fato social”. Os estudos que nortearam a pesquisa se fundamentaram em: evidências históricas e socioculturais do corpo na sociedade; aspectos pedagógicos da educação física; e as relações sociais construídas pelas PSR.  O estudo utilizou-se de observação direta e elaboração de roteiros. Foram realizadas coleta de dados exploratória, por meio de leituras e análise do contexto social em que seriam realizadas as atividades e observações em contexto prático. A atividade proposta foi a Capoeira, por ser uma manifestação cultural que se aproximou mais das relações históricas e culturais de construção da identidade brasileira. A ação pedagógica atribuída se baseou nos componentes procedimentais, conceituais e atitudinais. Apesar de um repertório motor variado, a luz do “fato social”, foi observado que as PSR não são sequer percebidas pela sociedade. Destaca-se neste contexto, uma ruptura de identidade cultural associada à autoimagem, autoestima abalada e dificuldade de autoafirmação. Isso se reflete como ponto central para a integração social da PSR. Foi observado uma necessidade de um debate mais amplo sobre as possibilidades de estimular um espaço para “escuta” durante as aulas; inserir de forma indireta aspectos atitudinais e conceituais por meio das expressões corporais e músicas como uma forma de trabalhar autoimagem das PSR estudadas.

The Future of Legal Struggles
Authors: Pichl Maximilian
Published: February 2024

The year 2023 was not a good year for the rights of asylum seekers. The decision about a new legal framework for the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) was described as a "historic moment" (Ylva Johansson), but in fact works as a programme of disenfranchisement. If the pursuit of progressive positions are blocked in the political arena, actors shift their strategies to the judicial field. Even before the summer of migration 2015, successful legal struggles had a significant impact on European migration policy. Push-backs on the high sea were prohibited and transfers of asylum seekers to inhumane conditions under the Dublin system were prevented. The draft for the new CEAS are characterised by attempts to circumvent the consequences of these judgements. In this blogpost, I will discuss what the future of legal struggles within the framework of the new CEAS might look like.

J48-Based Decision Tree Algorithm in Detecting Kolb’s Learning Style Preferences of Information Technology Students
Authors:   Applied Sciences Department, Leyte Normal University, Tacloban City, 6500 Philippines, Caluza Las Johansen B.
Published: February 2024

Teacher education institutions developed interventions to augment both the Teacher’s teaching and the Learner’s learning process. Previous studies focused on detecting learning styles in e-learning using learning management systems and adaptive learning in the online learning process, specifically using the Felder-Silverman learning style model. On the contrary, this study aimed to develop a decision tree-based model to detect the Learner’s learning style inspired by Kolb’s learning style in a face-to-face learning environment. Knowledge discovery in databases through data mining was utilized using the J48 algorithm to develop a decision tree-based model. This study was participated by 408 out of 462 information technology students in a state university in the Philippines. The study’s result was able to develop four J48-based decision trees with conditional rule models for activist, reflector, theorist and pragmatist learners. The evaluation of the decision tree models using confusion matrix and receiver operating curve showed a very high accuracy detection of every learning style (weighted average of 88-96%). This result recommends applying this in an actual system or computer application for easy and fast learning style detection based on the characteristics of the learners.

The relationship and collaboration process between university-industry-policy entities have been the subject of increased interest especially when dealing with environmental matters. Collaboration approach is an effort that unites different entities together in a shared objective. However, there are few challenges or barriers which make it difficult to develop collaboration relationships between entities. Although the linkages are often mentioned about the collaborative linkages among university-industry-policy entities, none has information on the barriers of collaborative linkages especially on environmental matters in Sarawak. Thus, there is a need to identify the barriers and success factors in order to develop successful collaboration. This study addressed the gap through a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative approach where the data were collected from 199 respondents based on a face-to-face interview using structured questionnaires in Sarawak. The study explores the status of collaboration in Sarawak and its barriers. Findings indicated that the collaboration status in Sarawak is still in an infant stage resulting from barriers of collaboration which are lack of funding, private knowledge, lack of commitment, difficult to implement collaboration, weak/lack policies, poor awareness, top management view/support, acceptance of collaboration, bureaucracy and differences in company culture.

Published: February 2024

In the contemporary world, the Internet of Things has been utilized enormously in individual and business sectors. The purpose of the paper is to determine the prospective areas for utilizing IoT. Moreover, it also identifies the challenges and solutions of using IoT in different sectors. The study mostly employs qualitative methodologies, utilizing secondary data and articles to conduct this review article. The researcher employed the PRISMA 2020 platform to discern and select pertinent studies and reports from indexed publications such as Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, DOAJ, and others. The study used primarily secondary methods of data collection because the idea of Internet of Things technology is still relatively new and not yet used by all sectors of Bangladesh's economy. The review paper might not include pertinent research that was published in other languages or in publications that were not indexed, which could potentially introduce a bias stemming from language and ordering. From the point of implication portion, IoT would be the driving force behind the development of future wireless sensor networks, which will feature enhanced connection, intelligence, and application diversity in different sectors.
Preparation of Activated Carbons From Teak Sawdust Using Chicken Dropping Compost and Empty Fruit Bunch
Authors: Kongsomart Boodsakorn , Li Liuyun , Takarada Takayuki
Published: February 2024

In this paper, the preparation of the activated carbon (ACs) from teak sawdust (TS) biomass mixed with chicken dropping compost ash (CCA) and empty fruit bunch ash (EFBA) as activating agents were studied. The carbonization was done in pure N2 and N2/CO2 stream gases by temperature variations between 600 to 1000°C. The concentration of CO2 in N2/CO2 gas was varied from 2 to 10%. The specific surface area (SSA) of TS mixed with CCA (1:1 wt%) carbonized at 1000°C in N2 and N2/2%CO2 gas ambient was 930 and 1094 m2g-1, respectively. Larger SSA of carbonization in N2/2%CO2 gas ambient is due to the reaction between CO2 gas and the carbon content in TS during pyrolysis. This can increase pores and widen the pore size in ACs. Finally, the EFBA is more efficient in increasing the SSA up to 30% compared to the CCA with the same process conditions.

La asunción cumulativa de deuda: naturaleza y régimen
Authors: Castellanos Cámara Sandra
Published: February 2024

Este trabajo tiene por objeto analizar la asunción cumulativa de deuda ajena, una construcción doctrinal y jurisprudencial que toma como punto de partida la asunción de deuda liberatoria y descansa sobre la base del principio de autonomía de la voluntad. En particular, el estudio persigue demostrar que existe una distancia insalvable con la novación «modificativa» y una cercanía tal con el régimen jurídico de la fianza y de las obligaciones solidarias que hace cuestionar el sentido de su misma existencia.
Los instrumentos de ahorro y prevision: su incidencia sobre la legítima
Authors: Represa Polo Mª Patricia
Published: February 2024

La posibilidad de transmitir bienes por un canal distinto al testamento y, por tanto, al margen de la sucesión mortis causa se plantea desde el momento en el que existen negocios en los que se establecen estipulaciones a favor de tercero para el caso de muerte del contratante. En este estudio se intenta resolver si dichas transmisiones se encuentran sometidas al derecho sucesorio, especialmente, su conexión con las normas que regulan la sucesión forzosa. A tal fin se analiza el artículo 88 de la Ley de Contrato de Seguro, norma que regula la relación del derecho del beneficiario del seguro de vida con el derecho de los legitimarios, así como la posible aplicación del contenido de dicha norma a otros instrumentos de previsión.
La autonomía de la voluntad y la declaración de ausencia a la luz de las últimas reformas del Código Civil: especial consideración de la Ley 8/2021
Authors: Rovira Sueiro María E.
Published: February 2024

La libertad de la persona a la hora de configurar sus relaciones jurídicas y las situaciones a las que se llega como consecuencia de las mismas han experimentado un notable impulso en los últimos años llegando a alcanzar ámbitos hasta hace relativamente poco impenetrables. En el presente estudio se lleva a cabo una reinterpretación de la normativa de la ausencia desde la perspectiva de la reforma operada por la Ley 8/2021. A nuestro juicio los nuevos paradigmas instaurados en el Código civil para garantizar la igualdad de derechos de la persona con discapacidad en el ejercicio de su capacidad jurídica tienen mayor trascendencia que la inicialmente se preveía siendo una buena prueba de ello el contenido de este trabajo.
