Authors: Wijesekera Achini Tharanga , Fernando R. Lalitha S
Published: April 2023

This paper investigates how ethical leader influences employee engagement for enhancing the quality of public service in Sri Lanka while examines their customers’ perception of service quality, employees’ perception of the style of ethical leadership, and the level of employee engagement. For that, two questionnaires were distributed. The first questionnaire was distributed through 500 employees in 83 Divisional Secretaries to identify the level of ethical leadership and employee engagement. The second questionnaire was distributed to 2500 customers to identify the level of service quality. To measure these constructs customized scales were used. The results found that, the customers were generally satisfied with the service provided by the public service. Employees in public service were satisfied with the ethical leadership of their administrators and they engage well. The results indicate that ethical leadership and employee engagement significantly affect customers’ perceived service quality and employee engagement is partially mediates the association between ethical leadership and service quality. This study helps to identify the extent of ethical leadership exhibited by public officers, and how it influences service quality through employee engagement. The findings will help the public service to identify its strengths and weaknesses, and will serve as an important source of feedback to the public service that can be used in decision-making processes to better serve customers. In addition, this paper filled the gap in the literature by addressing the relationship between ethical leadership, employee engagement and customers’ perceived service quality. The empirical findings of this will help to enhance the body of knowledge in the area of service quality. The findings will help to uncover the nature of ethical leadership, and employee engagement in the existing public service in Sri Lanka

La enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII) en adultos mayores se caracteriza por su variabilidad clínica, distintos diagnósticos diferenciales y manejo terapéutico. El objetivo de la presente investigación es evaluar las características clínicas y manejo de los pacientes adultos mayores con EII. Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo de enero del 2011 a diciembre del 2019 en pacientes con EII en el Servicio de Gastroenterología del Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen, Lima-Perú. Fueron evaluados 55 pacientes con EC y 107 con CU; 45,6% de pacientes con EII eran adultos mayores. De ellos, 28 tenían EC y 46 CU. Los adultos mayores con EC presentaron fenotipo inflamatorio y localización colónica predominantemente, mientras en CU, la colitis extensa e izquierda fueron las más frecuentes. Asimismo, los ancianos tuvieron menor puntaje CDAI (279,8 vs 323,2) y menor índice de Mayo (7,1 vs 9,2) con relación a los pacientes jóvenes, sin diferencias significativas. Respecto al tratamiento, se observó un menor uso de azatioprina (2 vs 8, p<0,03) y Anti-TNF (9 vs 18, p<0,01) en los adultos mayores con EC. La necesidad de cirugía y la frecuencia de complicaciones post quirúrgicas fueron similares entre ambos grupos. En conclusión, casi la mitad de los pacientes con EII son adultos mayores. La localización colónica fue la más frecuente en EC, y en CU la colitis extensa e izquierda. Observamos un menor uso de azatiopri a y terapia biológica en adultos mayores, sin diferencias significativas en el uso de corticoides y aminosalicilatos respecto a los jóvenes.

Published: April 2023

Antecedentes: La endoscopia es un campo competitivo en la práctica clínica en el que los endoscopistas calificados tienen una gran demanda. El proceso de aprendizaje para los endoscopistas gastrointestinales junior (JE) es difícil, bastante largo y técnicamente exigente. Esto dirige a los JE a buscar fuentes de aprendizaje adicionales, incluidas las fuentes en línea. El propósito de este estudio fue determinar la frecuencia, el contexto, las actitudes, los beneficios percibidos, los inconvenientes y las recomendaciones para el uso de videos de YouTube como una plataforma educativa entre los JE desde la perspectiva de los usuarios. Métodos: Se aplicó un cuestionario transversal en línea difundido del 15 de enero al 17 de marzo de 2022 reclutó a 166 endoscopistas gastrointestinales junior de 39 países diferentes. Resultados: La mayoría de los JE encuestados (138, 85,2%) ya utilizaban YouTube como herramienta de aprendizaje. La mayoría de los JE (97, 59,8 %) refirieron adquirir conocimientos y aplicarlos en su práctica clínica, pero 56 (34,6 %) informaron adquirir conocimientos sin aplicación en la práctica real. La mayoría de los participantes (124, 76,5 %) informó que faltaban detalles del procedimiento en los videos de endoscopia de YouTube. La mayoría de los JE (110, 80,9%) informaron que los videos de YouTube son proporcionados por especialistas en endoscopia. Solo a un participante, el 0,6% de los 166 JE encuestados, le disgustaron los registros de video, incluyendo a YouTube como fuente de aprendizaje. Según su experiencia, 106 (65,4 %) de los participantes recomendaron YouTube como una herramienta educativa para la próxima generación de JE. Conclusión: YouTube representa una herramienta potencialmente útil para los EJ, brindándoles tanto conocimientos como trucos para la práctica clínica. Sin embargo, muchos inconvenientes podrían hacer que la experiencia sea engañosa y consuma mucho tiempo. En consecuencia, alentamos a los proveedores de e ouTube y otras plataformas a subir videos de endoscopia educativos interactivos, bien construidos y revisados por pares.

One of the environmental challenges is the preservation and maintenance of the environment. In view of this, the gains are valid and are considered as auxiliary mechanisms to the tangible goods and services promoted by the ecosystems, which can be considered efficient for the control of tangible goods and services. Therefore, the objective of this article is to systematically review which methodologies have been used to value ecosystem services and theirs. This applies specifically: to studies that value the eco-services studied, using only practical methods studied. For that, a systematic review was elaborated, using as databases: Web of Science and Scopus, illustration of gray literature. The results of the analysis found the valuation of ecosystem services using methods still used, in addition, general studies are still incipient more than a statistical methodology. It can be seen that the complexity of giving value to services depends on a set of measurements, due to its complexity. From the elaboration of this study, it is expected that the readers can succinctly know the existing methodologies on the subject, still encourage creativity for the elaboration of new methodologies of monetary valuation. Finally, that this theoretical study contributes to enhance the importance of the subject, extending to the public power as a motivation for the emergence of public policies on the subject.

Published: April 2023

Effective plant growth and yield prediction is an essential task for greenhouse growers and for agriculture in general. Developing models which can effectively model growth and yield can help growers improve the environmental control for better production, match supply and market demand and lower costs. Recent developments in Machine Learning (ML) and, in particular, Deep Learning (DL) can provide powerful new analytical tools. The proposed study utilities ML and DL techniques to predict yield and plant growth on Ficus Benjamin stem growth, in controlled greenhouse environments. We deploy a new deep recurrent neural network (RNN), using the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neuron model, in the prediction formulations. Both the former yield, growth and stem diameter values, as well as the microclimate conditions, are used by the RNN architecture to model the targeted growth parameters. A comparative study is presented, using ML methods, such as support vector regression and random forest regression, utilizing the mean square error criterion, in order to evaluate the performance achieved by the different methods.

Published: April 2023

Image enhancement of low light images is an important research area in computer vision and image processing. In recent years, deep learning has emerged as a powerful tool for enhancing low light images, with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) being the most used architecture. In this study, we propose a deep learning approach for enhancing low light images using a modified CNN. Our approach involves training the network on a large dataset of low light images and their corresponding enhanced images and using the trained model to enhance new low light images. We also propose a new loss function that encourages the network to enhance details and reduce noise in the images. Our experiments show that our approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in terms of both objective metrics and visual quality, making it a promising technique for real-world low light image enhancement applications
A formação docente voltada à diversidade étnico-racial nos Planos Nacional e Estadual de educação do Amazonas: impasses e perspectivas
Authors: Queiroz Pinto Anaylle , Dos Reis Martins Natália , Vasques Guedes Suzy Chrystine , Machado de Oliveira Victor José
Published: April 2023

No âmbito dos direitos humanos, a educação para a cidadania é tida como mecanismo fundamental de inclusão e transformação social, especialmente em um estado como o Amazonas, caracterizado por abrigar uma variedade de etnias. Sendo assim, o presente artigo teve por objetivo discutir as diretrizes educacionais voltadas à formação docente para a promoção da diversidade étnico-racial nesse território. Para tanto, empreendeu-se pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, do tipo documental, no modelo ensaístico, analisando-se as disposições contidas no Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE, 2014-2024) e no Plano Estadual de Educação do Amazonas (PEE/AM, 2015-2025), utilizando como bases teóricas, as considerações de autores como Saviani (2009; 2014), Candau (2012) e Freitas (2018). Findo o estudo, infere-se que a legislação específica é aquém do esperado, pois o PNE e o PEE/AM, vigente, pouco trazem sobre o tema em comento, quando deveria ser uma prioridade, pelo menos, dentre as políticas públicas estaduais. No entanto, o PEE/AM apenas repete o teor contido no PNE, trazendo de diferente, apenas, uma única estratégia destinada à formação docente para a diversidade étnico-racial. Assim, resta evidente a ausência de políticas públicas educacionais que forneçam aos professores, atuais e futuros, os subsídios necessários para a condução interdisciplinar das relações étnico-raciais no contexto escolar amazonense.
A ação humana e a ficção do empreendedorismo de si mesmo: crítica à ideologia neoliberal de Von Mises
Authors: Lodea Andrei Luiz , Casagranda Edison
Published: April 2023

Para pensarmos a educação, a democracia e a justiça social dentro do contexto global, é de fundamental importância estudarmos e analisarmos a racionalidade formada pelo sistema econômico e político que chamamos neoliberalismo. Esse sistema ideológico neoliberal, gestado a partir da segunda metade do século XX, exerceu e exerce uma influência considerável em nossos sistemas de governos democráticos, representando fortes ameaças à educação e à justiça social, na medida em que apela exclusivamente à dimensão econômica para explicar a melhoria das condições individuais e sociais de vida. O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar criticamente a teoria neoliberal proposta por Ludwig von Mises como um modelo reducionista dos conceitos de ação humana, liberdade e de Estado. Buscamos caracterizar essa teoria como uma ideologia de um novo liberalismo já desenhada no início do século XX, ancorada nos conceitos de livre mercado, culminando na formação do homo agens, o “empreendedorismo” do sistema capitalista. A metodologia adotada é de natureza crítico-interpretativa, desenvolvendo uma análise ao modelo neoliberal do autor austríaco-americano, tendo por base autores como Hannah Arendt (1999, 2013), Pierre Dardot e Christian Laval (2016), Wendy Brown (2019), e respaldada em teorias da justiça contemporânea como a do autor americano John Rawls (2011, 2016). Além da crítica, são propostas ao longo do texto, mas principalmente na terceira parte e na conclusão, algumas perspectivas para superar o modelo de Estado neoliberal estabelecido e vigente nos cenários econômicos e políticos dos países.

Published: April 2023

Little is known about how muscle contractile properties are affected by biological maturation in elite youth soccer players. This study aimed to determine the effects of maturation on contractile properties of rectus femoris (RF) and biceps femoris (BF) muscles assessed by tensiomyography (TMG) and provide reference values for elite youth soccer players. One hundred twenty-one elite youth soccer players (14.98 ± 1.83 years; 167.38 ± 10.37 cm; 60.65 ± 11.69 kg) took part in the study. The predicted peak height velocity (PHV) was used in order to establish players' maturity status (Pre-PHV, n = 18; Mid-PHV, n = 37; Post-PHV = 66). Maximal radial displacement of the muscle belly, contraction time, delay time, and contraction velocity for RF and BF muscles were recorded. One-way ANOVA showed no significant differences between PHV groups for any tensiomyography variables in RF and BF muscles (p > 0.05). Our results established that maturity status did not show a significant effect in mechanical and contractile properties on RF and BF muscles evaluated by TMG in elite youth soccer players. These findings and reference values can be useful for strength and conditioning coaches of elite soccer academies in order to optimize the evaluation of neuromuscular profiles.

Published: April 2023

The purpose of this investigation was to determine if average concentric velocity (ACV) of a single repetition at 70% of one-repetition maximum (1RM), ACV of the first repetition of a set to failure at 70% of 1RM, or the velocity loss during the set could predict the number of repetitions performed in the back squat. Fifty-six resistance-trained individuals participated in the study (male = 41, age = 23 ± 3 yrs, 1RM = 162.0 ± 40.0 kg; female = 15, age = 21 ± 2 yrs, 1RM = 81.5 ± 12.5 kg). After 1RM testing, participants performed single repetition sets with 70% of 1RM and a set to failure with 70% of 1RM. ACV was recorded on all repetitions. Regression model comparisons were performed, and Akaike Information Criteria (AIC) and Standard Error of the Estimate (SEE) were calculated to determine the best model. Neither single repetition ACV at 70% of 1RM (R² = 0.004, p = 0.637) nor velocity loss (R² = 0.011, p = 0.445) were predictive of total repetitions performed in the set to failure. The simple quadratic model using the first repetition of the set to failure () was identified as the best and most parsimonious model (R2 = 0.259, F = 9.247, p < 0.001) due to the lowest AIC value (311.086). A SEE of 2.21 repetitions was identified with this model. This average error of ~2 repetitions warrants only cautious utilization of this method to predict total repetitions an individual can perform in a set, with additional autoregulatory or individualization strategies being necessary to finalize the training prescription.

Exercise-Based Interventions for the Presurgical Management of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Rapid Qualitative Review
Authors: Bentz Jamie Anne , Horton Jennifer , MacDougall Danielle
Published: April 2023

One reviewer conducted a thematic synthesis of 16 studies focused on the perspectives, expectations, and experiences of people living with knee osteoarthritis (OA) regarding accessing and engaging with presurgical interventions for managing knee OA incorporating individual and/or group-based exercise.

People with knee OA held various beliefs regarding the safety and usefulness of presurgical exercise-based interventions for the condition, often informed by interactions with health care providers early in their knee OA journey. Negative beliefs about exercise could make people apprehensive about engaging in it, while positive beliefs motivated initial access and engagement.

Intrinsic, personal, and extrinsic contexts could influence people’s beliefs about presurgical exercise-based interventions and their ability and motivation to access, use, and ultimately benefit from them. People experiencing intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and a natural tendency toward physical activity, and those who did not experience symptoms or comorbidities interfering with exercise, described accessing and engaging in these interventions as easier. Initial access also depended largely on the nature of interactions with health care providers early in their knee OA journey. Some people reported difficulty accessing or engaging in these interventions when they had competing commitments or lacked sufficient funds, insurance coverage, equipment, and appropriate physical environments.

People with knee OA generally reported feeling motivated by and benefiting from interventions that were structured, had an educational component, contained appropriately challenging but easily mastered exercises tailored to their contexts and needs, and included either in-person or virtual guidance from an exercise expert. They tended to find encouragement and motivation through group-based exercises. Some also reported feeling externally motivated by technologies sending automated reminders, motivations, and feedback regarding their physical activity. Many experienced positive outcomes after engaging in these interventions, which improved their quality of life, encouraged positive beliefs about exercise, and promoted continued use.

Decision-makers interested in promoting equity in access, use, and benefit may consider publicly funding exercise-based interventions that can be tailored to individuals’ needs; may be delivered either in-person or virtually; can be offered outside of working hours; include exercises that are easy to execute while tending to other commitments; and use affordable equipment suitable for a range of body types.
The Attitude of Members of Certain Vulnerable Social Groups Towards Police Treatment
Authors: Stanković Bojan , Kekić Dalibor
Published: April 2023

The position of vulnerable social groups is very specific for several reasons, primarily due to the treatment by society. The aim of this paper is to examine, from the perspective of those who report security events, the relationship that the police establish towards national minorities, displaced persons, socially vulnerable persons, women and persons with disabilities, as the most numerous categories of socially vulnerable groups. For this reason, special attention is paid in the work to their attitude towards police officers in situations of handling their incident reports. Their relationship is even more complex if viewed through the prism of the influence of the police subculture on the behavior and treatment of police officers towards members of vulnerable social groups. In those situations, the police is expected to react non-discriminatory and act in accordance with prescribed legal norms, bearing in mind the specific position that members of vulnerable groups have in the social community. In order to assess the attitude of vulnerable groups towards the police and to improve their efficiency in dealing with the police, a survey was conducted with the application of the survey technique using a stratified sample.

Published: April 2023

Abstract. Processes behind methane (CH4) emission from boreal wetlands are complex, and hence their model representation is complicated by a large number of parameters and parameter uncertainties. The arctic-enabled dynamic global vegetation model LPJ-GUESS is one such model that allows quantification and understanding of the natural wetland CH4 fluxes at various scales ranging from local to regional and global, but with several uncertainties. The model contains detailed descriptions of CH4 production, oxidation, and transport controlled by several process parameters. Complexities in the underlying environmental processes, warming-driven alternative paths of meteorological phenomena, and changes in hydrological and vegetation conditions are highlight the need for a calibrated and optimised version of LPJ- GUESS. In this study we formulated the parameter calibration as a Bayesian problem, using knowledge of reasonable pa- rameters values as priors. We then used an adaptive Metropolis Hastings (MH) based Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm to improve predictions of CH4 emission by LPJ-GUESS and to quantify uncertainties. Application of this method on uncertain parameters allows greater search of their posterior distribution, leading to a more complete characterisation of the posterior distribution with reduced risk of sample impoverishment that can occur when using other optimisation methods. For assimilation, the analysis used flux measurement data gathered during the period 2005 to 2014 from the Siikaneva wetlands in southern Finland with an estimation of measurement uncertainties. The data are used to constrain the processes behind the CH4 dynamics, and the posterior covariance structures are used to explain how the parameters and the processes are related. To further support the conclusions, the CH4 flux and the other component fluxes associated with the flux are examined. The results demonstrate the robustness of MCMC methods to quantitatively assess the interrelationship between objective function choices, parameter identifiability, and data support. As a part of this work, knowledge about how the CH4 data can constrain the parameters and processes is derived. Though the optimisation is performed based on a single site’s flux data from Siikaneva, the algorithm is useful for larger-scale multi-site studies for more robust calibration of LPJ-GUESS and similar models, and the results can highlight where model improvements are needed.
Bedfast and floating-ice dynamics of thermokarst lakes using a temporal deep-learning mapping approach: case study of the Old Crow Flats, Yukon, Canada
Authors: Shaposhnikova Maria , Duguay Claude , Roy-Léveillée Pascale
Published: April 2023

Abstract. In light of the recent climate warming, monitoring of lake ice in
Arctic and subarctic regions is becoming increasingly important. Many
shallow Arctic lakes and ponds of thermokarst origin freeze to the bed in the
winter months, maintaining the underlying permafrost in its frozen state.
However, as air temperatures rise and precipitation increases, fewer lakes
are expected to develop bedfast ice. In this work, we propose a novel
temporal deep-learning approach to lake ice regime mapping from synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) and employ it to study lake ice dynamics in the Old
Crow Flats (OCF), Yukon, Canada, over the 1992/1993 to 2020/2021 period. We
utilized a combination of Sentinel-1, ERS-1 and ERS-2, and RADARSAT-1 to create
an extensive annotated dataset of SAR time series labeled as either bedfast
ice, floating ice, or land, which was used to train a temporal convolutional neural
network (TempCNN). The trained TempCNN, in turn, allowed us to automatically
map lake ice regimes. The classified maps aligned well with the available
field measurements and ice thickness simulations obtained with a
thermodynamic lake ice model. Reaching a mean overall classification
accuracy of 95 %, the TempCNN was determined to be suitable for automated
lake ice regime classification. The fraction of bedfast ice in the OCF
increased by 11 % over the 29-year period of analysis. Findings suggest
that the OCF lake ice dynamics are dominated by lake drainage events, brought
on by thermokarst processes accelerated by climate warming, and fluctuations in water level and winter snowfall. Catastrophic drainage and
lowered water levels cause surface water area and lake depth to decrease and
lake ice to often transition from floating to bedfast ice, while a reduction
in snowfall allows for the growth of thicker ice. The proposed lake ice
regime mapping approach allowed us to assess the combined impacts of warming,
drainage, and changing precipitation patterns on transitions between bedfast
and floating-ice regimes, which is crucial to understanding evolving
permafrost dynamics beneath shallow lakes and drained basins in thermokarst
lowlands such as the OCF.
TUJUAN PEMIDANAAN DALAM KEBIJAKAN PADA PEMBAHARUAN HUKUM PIDANA INDONESIA

Published: April 2023

The problem in this research is regarding the policy formulation of the goals and guidelines for punishment in Indonesia as  well as the objectives and guidelines for punishment in the  context of reforming Indonesian criminal law in the future. The method in this study uses a normative juridical research type that is  focused on examining the rules or norms in positive law. The policy on the formulation of the purpose of punishment needs to be studied to see what the goals and achievements are to be expected from a reform process in criminal law in this case related to the reorientation of the purpose of punishment. Knowing the aims and achievements of the purpose of sentencing will show the state's paradigm for the protection and guarantee of justice and the protection of human rights for its citizens as stated in its preamble. However, the purpose of punishment in the RKUHP needs to be reviewed to see how far the basis for the purpose of punishment and the forms of sanctions have been determined, because the determination of sanctions in the legislation is very important and strategic to achieve the objectives of the criminal law policy (penal policy).
