Accusation and defense as “adversarial elements” in the modern Criminal procedure code of the Russian Federation
Authors: Pechnikov Gennady , Blinkov Alexander , Parshina Elena
Published: November 2020

The article is based on the theoretical premise that in the current Criminal procedure code of the Russian Federation, competition is self-sufficient and denies objective truth. In this connection, the principle of the adversarial nature of the parties in the Criminal procedure code of the Russian Federation becomes an end in itself for all criminal proceedings; it lacks the necessary common goal, and there are only one competitive-winning goals of the parties. The above is at odds with dialectics, which calls for a systematic approach, for the presence of a common objectively true goal, which would obey all the private goals of the parties. It is impossible that a means (and the principle of the adversarial nature of the parties is only a means) becomes the goal (end in itself) of the entire criminal process, the distinction between goal and means cannot be erased. The authors of the article are confident that objective truth in criminal proceedings is objectively necessary and that an objectively true model of criminal proceedings is a higher and more perfect type of legal proceedings than an adversarial (winning-losing) process in which the stronger one wins in a duel (dispute) between the parties. , in the case, a probable, legal, formal legal truth is established, which may not correspond to reality.
A retrospective analysis of the humanization of criminal procedure and practice of the death penalty in the context of the teachings of Cesare Beccaria
Authors: Vasilkov Konstantin , Udovichenko Victor
Published: November 2020

The authors analyze two fundamental directions of the teaching of the great italian lawyer C. Beccaria in the context of humanizing the process of proving the guilt of a criminal in relation to the use of unacceptable methods of criminal justice. At the same time, an assessment of the practice and necessity of applying the death penalty as the most severe punishment is given in a similar way. It is concluded that these areas of teaching of C. Beccaria formed the foundation of the classical school of criminal law and are represented in modern criminal legislation.
Some contradictions between the doctrine of legal responsibility and current legislation
Authors: Lipinsky Dmitriy
Published: November 2020

The article is devoted to the principles of legal responsibility as a concentrated expression of legal doctrine, their understanding in science and consolidation in the current legislation. The article analyzes the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, dedicated to the starting principles of legal responsibility, and also shows how the official doctrine formed by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation influenced the system of principles of legal responsibility. The contradictions between the doctrinal characteristics of the principles of legal responsibility and the current legislation are revealed, as well as the practice of its application. Considerable attention is paid to the requirements of the principle of legality, and it is also proved that at present, due to its special importance, the principle of legal certainty has formed in the system of principles of legal responsibility. The nature of the contradictions between the current legislation and the practice of its application is analyzed. Recommendations are given to improve the regulation of the principles of legal responsibility.

Participación de las mujeres en el carnaval de Tepoztlán, México, bajo el microscopio de género, feminismo y turismo
Authors: Alberti Manzanares Pilar , Nava-Ramírez Sansusi
Published: November 2020

El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar cómo influye el feminismo y las políticas de igualdad de género en la participación de las mujeres en los carnavales de América Latina y México, específicamente, en Tepoztlán. El enfoque teórico que se propone en esta investigación es lo que denominamos “la perspectiva de género feminista”, como epistemología que describe los fenómenos sociales vinculados a las relaciones entre mujeres y hombres, y los explica con visión crítica. La metodología es cualitativa con entrevistas a profundidad, historias de vida y observación participante, además de revisión documental municipal, registro fotográfico y bibliografía sobre el tema. Los principales hallazgos muestran que el feminismo y las políticas de igualdad de género han fomentado la igualdad sustantiva de las mujeres en el turismo a través del incremento de su participación en todos los sectores. Sin embargo, el sistema patriarcal presenta profundos obstáculos al perpetuar los roles tradicionales de género anclando a las mujeres en el trabajo doméstico y de cuidados, lo que limita el desarrollo profesional de éstas. Las conclusiones muestran que la influencia del feminismo en los carnavales en América Latina y México está presente en la convivencia de formas tradicionales de participación femenina, junto con expresiones en transición y actividades de cambio. Un ejemplo es el carnaval de Tepoztlán, donde el rostro femenino se visibiliza en la organización, comparsas, comercio y turismo en este carnaval.
Hacia la dimensión ética del turismo de base comunitaria. Gobernanza y emprendimiento social
Authors: Aldecua María José Fernández
Published: November 2020

El estudio analiza el turismo de base comunitaria (TBC) a través de tres dimensiones. La primera, una dimensión política que implica la participación democrática, incluyente y empoderada, sintetizada como gobernanza dirigida por la comunidad; la segunda, una dimensión económica que se puede manifestar como emprendimiento social o emprendimiento de base comunitaria y, finalmente, una dimensión ética relacionada con la misión del TBC. Se propone una definición de TBC a partir de sus elementos integradores y se determina por qué el TBC es una agencia comunitaria con una dimensión política, una económica y una ética. Se concluye que el TBC, como agencia comunitaria, debe pretender impulsar la acción colectiva para el bienestar común, así como sostener, regenerar o fortalecer a la comunidad misma. Esta misión constituye la dimensión ética de todo caso de TBC. Se abordan como ejemplos empíricos dos casos de TBC en Oaxaca, México. En el primero, se cuida la dimensión ética, pero no ocurre así en el segundo, por lo que el TBC se pierde como modelo de turismo.

Authors: Torres Preciado Víctor Hugo , Vergara González Reyna , Tinoco Zermeño Miguel Ángel
Published: November 2020

El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el efecto que un cambio permanente en la política monetaria tendría en las actividades manufactureras en México. Se argumenta que debido a la importancia económica de este tipo de actividades en el crecimiento económico y la creación de empleo en el país, es necesario conocer el impacto de la política en este sector. A partir de un modelo vectorial estructural en panel propuesto por Pedroni (2013), los resultados indican que los choques no anticipados en la política monetaria tendrían un efecto diferencial sustantivo entre las diferentes actividades manufactureras, situación que tiene implicaciones acerca del canal a través del cual el banco central puede incidir en la estabilización de precios e inclusive en la economía real.

Kenaikan tingkat pertumbuhan ekonomi menjadi salah satu tujuan penting bagi pemerintah pusat maupun daerah. Desentralisasi merupakan tujuan untuk mempercepat pertumbuhan ekonomi daerah, mengurangi kesenjangan, serta meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan publik agar lebih efisien dan akurat terhadap kebutuhan, potensi maupun karakteristik yang terdapat pada masing - masing daerah. Selain sebagai tujuan pemerintah, pertumbuhan ekonomi juga merupakan indikator pencapaian pembangunan nasional. Desentralisasi akan memberi kebebasan kepada pemerintah daerah untuk membuat kebijakan - kebijakan dan renncana keuangan sendiri, sehingga akan memberikan pengaruuh terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi. Otonomi daerah berdasarkan UU NO. 22 Tahun 1999 lebih bernuansa desentralistik, yang mana daerah provinsi dengan kedudukan sebagai sebagai daerah otonom sekaligus wilayah administrasi, yang melaksanakan kewenangan adalah pemerintah pusat yang di delegadi kepada gubernur. Dengan adanya otonomi daerah memunculkan dimensi baru berupa desentralisasi dan dekonsentralisasi.

A EQUIVALÊNCIA DE ÁREAS NO ESTUDO DA INTEGRAL DEFINIDA: UM OLHAR DAS REPRESENTAÇÕES SEMIÓTICAS
Authors: Menoncini Lucia , Moretti Méricles Thadeu
Published: November 2020

Este trabalho discutiu um elemento que se encontra implícito no estudo da integral definida no cálculo de áreas: a equivalência de regiões planas. A resolução de problemas envolvendo áreas, via integração, geralmente aborda o esboço de uma única região plana, limitada entre curvas de funções. Entretanto, existem outras regiões com formatos distintos, mas com áreas equivalentes que podem ser exploradas. Assim, embasados na Teoria dos Registros de Representação Semiótica de Duval, analisou-se como alunos usam operações semióticas de tratamento e de conversão para desenvolverem atividades que exploram a equivalência de áreas. Foi possível constatar que os problemas envolvendo área requerem a mobilização de múltiplas operações semióticas e que a equivalência de áreas pode ser inserida no estudo da integral definida.

Published: November 2020

As funções nos livros de Cálculo Diferencial e Integral apresentam diversas representações. No entanto, a forma como os autores abordam cada representação influencia a conceitualização das funções de duas ou mais variáveis. Portanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica a fim de investigar como os livros privilegiam o estudo de função de duas ou mais variáveis à luz da Teoria de Registros de Representação Semiótica, de Raymond Duval. A escolha dos livros de Cálculo se deu por meio de um pequeno estudo das ementas dos cursos de Matemática de faculdades do Triângulo Mineiro que se mostraram mais relevantes quanto à formação inicial, apresentando um grande impacto social na região. Os resultados apontaram que livros com mais registros de representações de função implicam mais coordenações entre esses registros, atividade necessária para a apreensão dos objetos matemáticos.
Geostatistical classification of dynamics of water quality changes in the Elbe river basin
Authors: Langhammer Jakub
Published: November 2020

With regard to the water quality changes, the area of the Czech part of the Elbe river basin is extraordinarily dynamic. In the 20th century it experienced an enormous increase of load of pollution. Since the beginning of the 1990's due to the political and economical changes, we have witnessed a particularly intensive decrease in the emission volume and a related increase in water quality of watercourses. However, positive changes in the pollution load balance have occurred mainly in the biggest watercourses and these changes have not been accompanied by similar development in the whole river system. Using a newly created classification methodology the basic models of dynamics of water quality changes in the Elbe river basin have been derived. Based on GIS geostatistical analysis, regions with analogous water quality development trends have been defined for selected parameters and critical areas have been identified. It has become apparent that the prevailing part of the Elbe river basin has been experiencing a gradual increase in pollution. In addition, after a previous decrease, a number of watercourses experienced a recurrence of the increase in load. These areas are priorities for further development and control of surface water protection against pollution.
Cultural Challenges in Adherence to HIV Prevention among Youth in Kisarawe District, Tanzania
Authors: Losioki Bertha Erasto
Published: November 2020

Youth in Tanzania and the world at large are among the vulnerable population to HIV infection. Adherence to HIV prevention remains a challenge in Tanzania despite the efforts to curb the pandemic. The purpose of this study was to examine cultural practices that impede adherence to HIV prevention among the youth.  The study adopted a cross-sectional design. The respondents were selected through simple random sampling among secondary school students and out of school youth aged 15–35 years in Kisarawe District Coast Region, Tanzania.  Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, non-participant observation and documentary review. A total of 146 respondents were involved in the study.  The study findings show that customs that encourage early marriage, values and norms that limit negotiation for safe sex and traditions that limit discussion about sexuality issues were a challenge to adherence to HIV prevention among youth. Adherence to HIV prevention and access to sexuality education and reproductive health information was found to be low among youth. The study concludes that customs encouraging early marriage, values and norms limiting negotiation for safe sexual practices, traditions that limit discussions about sexuality issues and night ceremonies significantly impede youth adherence to HIV prevention. The government and non-governmental organisations should ensure implementation of policies and laws against traditional practices that tend to increase youth vulnerability. HIV prevention programmes targeted to youth should focus on sensitisation on harmful cultural practices and ensure the availability of comprehensive sexual education among the youth population.
THE UTILIZATION OF ENDE BEACH TOURISM OBJECTS AS A LEARNING RESOURCE IN IMPROVING ENGLISH LANGUAGE SKILLS AT ENGLISH LOVER COMMUNITY (ELC) ENDE
Authors: Pali Agustina , Sadipun Berty
Published: November 2020

A positive natural environment can have positive implications for improving one's English language skills. The analysis of the situation faced by the partners was the minimum mastery of English basic skills, which resulted in a very low level of confidence in using English. This Community Service activity aims to improve the English skills of activity partners who are members of the English Lover Community (ELC) Ende through the use of Ende Beach tourism objects as a source of learning inspiration. The method of community service activities is to carry out mentoring through several stages of organizing and mentoring techniques including interviews, pre-tests, interactive lectures, questions and answers, contextual learning, discussions, drilling, demonstrations and post-tests. This activity had a positive impact on improving the English language skills of Ende's English Lover Community (ELC) participants. English proficiency in this case is an increase in vocabulary and pronunciation mastery of Ende's English Lover Community (ELC) participants both in quantity and quality. In addition, it also has positive implications for the ability to compose learned vocabulary into English sentences and re-express sentences that have been strung into good and correct English pronunciation, as well as an increase in the ability to compose English sentences into short paragraphs and the ability to read these compiled paragraphs with correct English pronunciation and intonation. The improvement in these skills can be seen from the increasing in the average score of pre-test (60.33%) to post-test (81.33%)

Onkologinės ligos – šiandienos visuomenės rykštė. Didžiosios Britanijos vėžio tyrimų fondo (angl. Cancer Research UK) duome-nimis, 2012 metais vėžys diagnozuotas 14,1 mln. suaugusiųjų (iš jų 13 proc. plauãų vėžys), o nuo jo mirė 8,2 mln. žmonių (iš jų 19 proc. nuo plauãų vėžio). Viena labiausiai visame pasaulyje paplitusių onkologinių ligų yra plauãų vėžys, kasmet vis „gerinantis“ savo sergamumo ir mirtingumo rodiklius. Statistikos duomenimis, Lietuvoje šia liga 2008 m. sirgo apie 81 vyras ir 10 moterų iš 100 tūkst. gyventojų. Pagrindinė plaučių vėžio priežastis – rūkymas, todėl nenuostabu, kad tai viena dažniausia vyrų onkologinė liga tiek Lietuvoje, tiek pasaulyje [1, 2]. Pastaruoju metu rūkymui tampant įprastine socialine bendravimo norma, vis dažniau liga diagnozuojama ir moterims. Didėjantis plaučių vėžiu sergančių žmonių skaičius kelia nerimą dėl itin blogos ligos prognozės: 5 metų išgyvenamumas Lietuvoje tesiekia vos 9 proc., Europoje – 10 proc., pasaulyje – 15 proc. [3]. Standartinis lokaliai išplitusio ar metastazinio plaučių vėžio gydymas yra chemoterapija. Mokslininkams detaliau ištyrus vėžines ląsteles ir nustačius jų augimą skatinančius veiksnius, sukurti vaistai, tikslingai veikiantys būtent juos (taikinių terapija). Kovojant su nesmulkiųjų ląstelių plaučių vėžiu (NSLPV), nauji ligos patogenezės molekuliniai ir genetiniai aspektai atvėrė kelią taikinių terapijai bei individualizuotam plaučių vėžio gydymui.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND SPACE: SLAVE NARRATIVES OF HARRIET JACOBS AND MARY PRINCE
Authors: Surve Anshu , Basu Anwesha
Published: November 2020

The women writers in the 19th century represented themselves in the form of writings and presented their ideas through the medium of autobiography, a genre in the literary world. Genre, as per Collins dictionary, is ‘a particular type of literature, painting, music, film or other art form which people consider as a class because it has special characteristics’. Autobiography is a tool to represent the ‘Self’ and during the 19th century, the women used it as one of her weapons to challenge the patriarchal and dominant upper class, wherein they were categorised in the marginalized section in terms of their origin and in creative writing field. Their writings became an agency or rather a space- emotional space within the cultural and societal space, where they put forth their emotions, desire to become emancipated, create a bench mark alongside other male writers in the literary world and inspire other women. This research paper attempts to explore autobiography in a new light through spatial theory as proposed by Henri Lefebvre and Edward Soja, vis-à-vis place and will posit the narratives which portrays the injustice done upon the marginalized people during the 19th century. Space will act as a conceptual tool to narrate the slave narratives Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl written by herself (1861) and The History of Mary Prince, a West Indian Slave. Related by Herself (1831) of Harriet Jacobs, an Afro-American slave in America and Mary Prince, a West Indian Slave in England respectively.
Development of a Prototype Renewable Energy System and its Modification to Suit Middle East Applications
Authors: Salman Salman
Published: November 2020

This paper concerns with exploitation of renewable energy sources for meeting energy requirements of remote locations. It presents an investigation which is based on a practical project that was executed in collaboration between academia and industry. It involves design and installation of a prototype integrated renewable energy system which consists of two 15 kW wind turbines, electrolyser, fuel cell system (FCS) and the associated control equipment. It was installed at the furthest island of Shetland, North of Scotland, U.K. The philosophy used in designing this system is summarised as follows: During times of high wind, the electricity generated by wind turbines is normally greater than that required by site electrical load. The excessive amount of generated electricity is stored into Hydrogen by utilising an electrolyser which is then used to generate the deficient electric power by the FCS at times of low wind.

Detailed Characterization of Heartbeat Stars and Their Tidally Excited Oscillations
Authors: Cheng Shelley J. , Fuller Jim , Guo Zhao , Lehman Holger , Hambleton Kelly
Published: November 2020

Heartbeat stars are a class of eccentric binary stars with short-period orbits and characteristic “heartbeat” signals in their light curves at periastron, caused primarily by tidal distortion. In many heartbeat stars, tidally excited oscillations can be observed throughout the orbit, with frequencies at exact integer multiples of the orbital frequency. Here, we characterize the tidally excited oscillations in the heartbeat stars KIC 6117415, KIC 11494130, and KIC 5790807. Using Kepler light curves and radial-velocity measurements, we first model the heartbeat stars using the binary modeling software ELLC, including gravity darkening, limb darkening, Doppler boosting, and reflection. We then conduct a frequency analysis to determine the amplitudes and frequencies of the tidally excited oscillations. Finally, we apply tidal theories to stellar structure models of each system to determine whether chance resonances can be responsible for the observed tidally excited oscillations, or whether a resonance-locking process is at work. We find that resonance locking is likely occurring in KIC 11494130, but not in KIC 6117415 or KIC 5790807.
Effect of alternative rearing substrates and temperature on growth and development of the cricket Modicogryllus conspersus (Schaum)

Published: November 2020

The increasing demand for animal protein in sub-Saharan Africa has led to insects being considered an alternative protein source for food and feed. In Uganda, chicken mash, containing fish meal as the protein source is commonly used to rear crickets. However, fishmeal is an expensive protein source that is also human food. This study therefore aimed at establishing an alternative preferred (consumed in the highest quantity) plant leaf diet for raising the Modicogryllus conspersus cricket, and the most suitable temperature for hatchability and egg development. The effect of (a) three diets (cassava leaves + cocoyam leaves + milk weed leaves; cassava leaves + pumpkin leaves + wandering Jew; and cassava leaves + lablab + Cinderella weed) on growth; and (b) incubation temperature (26, 28, 30, 32, and 34 °C) on egg hatchability and egg development time were studied. Cassava, pumpkin and milk weed leaves were the most ‘preferred’ of the tested plant leaves. Egg development time was longer at lower temperatures, ranging between 7-14 days across a 26-34 °C temperature range. The highest hatchability (95%) was observed at 28 °C, below and above which hatchability decreased. The maximum nymph weight (1.58 mg) at hatching was observed at 26 °C and decreased with increasing egg incubation temperature. The plant leaf diet containing leaves with highest protein content (pumpkin, wandering Jew and cassava) led to the highest growth and growth rate comparable to the control diet (broiler chick mash). Temperature had a significant effect on egg development time (P<0.001) and nymph weight at hatching (P<0.001) while the food type significantly influenced growth (P<0.001) and moulting time. The possibility of formulating a nutrient balanced, cost-effective, compound feed for cricket production should be investigated.
Potential use of a queen bee larvae meal (Apis mellifera ligustica Spin.) in animal nutrition: a nutritional and chemical-toxicological evaluation

Published: November 2020

The aim of the research was to propose the larvae of honeybee queens, discarded from royal jelly production as possible dietary supplement in animal nutrition. To this purpose, the chemical characteristics, chitin content, amino acid, fatty acid and mineral profile (including toxic elements) were determined on pooled samples of queen bee larvae. Queen bee larvae meal is rich in chitin, protein, essential amino acids, and in some essential mineral such as phosphorous and magnesium; it is also relatively poor in fat, and with negligible levels of toxic elements such as Cd, Pb, As and Hg. However, its fatty acid profile showed a very low amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and the meal was poor of Ca and other trace elements when compared to the most common insect meals used in animal nutrition. Queen bee larvae have a standard nutrition based on royal jelly and this could represent a great advantage to use in animal production. However, the collection of queen bee larvae does not allow to give high quantities of final product due both the low amount of larvae collected (an average 58.9 g/hive/month) and the relatively low yield in meal (an average 23.12%) recorded. Thus, the queen bee larvae meal cannot be considered as an alternative protein source in animal production but could represent a potential feed supplement to include at low doses to exploit the possible activities of gut microbiota modulator due to the high levels of chitin.
A flow shop batch scheduling and operator assignment model with time-changing effects of learning and forgetting to minimize total actual flow time
Authors: Kurniawan Dwi , Raja Andi Cakravastia , Suprayogi Suprayogi , Halim Abdul Hakim
Published: November 2020

Purpose: This paper aims to investigate simultaneous problems of batch scheduling and operator assignment with time-changing effects caused by learning and forgetting.Design/methodology/approach: A number of parts will be processed in batches, each of which will be processed through a number of operations where there are alternative operators for each operation bringing different set up and processing times as operators experience different degree of learning and forgetting. A mathematical model is developed for the problems, and the decision variables are operator assignment, the number of batches, batch sizes and the schedule of the resulting batches. A proposed algorithm works by trying different number of batches, starting from one, and increasing the number of batches one by one until the objective function value does not improve anymore.Findings: We show both mathematically and numerically that the closest batch to the due date always becomes the largest batch in the schedule, and the faster operators learn, the larger the difference between the closest batch to the due date and the other batches, the lower optimal number of batches, and the lower the total actual flow time.Originality/value: Previous papers have considered the existence of alternative operators but have not considered learning and forgetting, or have considered learning and forgetting but only in a single-stage system and without considering alternative operators.

Authors: Šuvaković Miško
Published: November 2020

The article conducts a comparative discussion on the strategic poetic and political similarities/differences between the respective contexts of neo-avant-garde and retro-avant-garde practices in relation to aesthetic, artistic, and cultural revolutions. I juxtapose two revolutionary potentials and effects of their actualisation: the utopias and projections of the international revolution relating to the “new sensibility” and the unity of “art and life” of 1968, and several projects and practices that undermine totalitarian systems, from punk cynicism to the national revolutions of 1989 that overthrew real socialism in the Eastern and Central Europe. In my comparative discussion I focus on two specific cases in Slovenian art and alternative cultures, highlighting the position of “experimental poetry,” “new sensibility,” and “conceptual art” of the OHO group, active between 1966 and 1971, and the position of “political cynicism” and “retro-avant-garde art” in the Neue Slowenische Kunst movement founded in 1984.
Prve literarne pravljice francoskega salonskega vala: hibridna žanrska zvrst
Authors: Burcar Lilijana
Published: November 2020

Del ideološke zapuščine romantičnega 19. stoletja je prepričanje, da naj bi pravljice odsevale motiviko ljudskih pripovedi. Literarnozgodovinska veda dokazuje, da so pravljice hibridna literarna zvrst, ki je vzniknila v okviru francoskega salonskega gibanja ob koncu 17. stoletja. Salonske pisateljice, ki so bile nosilke novega žanra, so se skupaj s Perraultom naslonile na že obstoječe literarne predloge predstavnikov renesančne novele in srednjeveškega viteškega in pastoralnega romana. Iz žanra renesančnih novel so prevzele narativni prijem okvirnih pripovedi, v katerih so opisovale salonsko okolje in pripovedne načine, na katere so nastajale nove pripovedi, ki so jih okvirile še drugače. Vsako pravljico so opremile s posvetilom in uvodom, na koncu pa še s pojasnilom, največkrat v obliki opombe, pri čemer so predstavile svoja teoretska razmišljanja in literarne vire, po katerih so se zgledovale. Iz žanra srednjeveškega viteškega in pastirskega romana so prevzele arhetipskost aristokratske dvorne kulture in neotipljivost prostora in časa, ki ga podčrtuje družbena nezaznamovanost, kar je pravljicam dalo pečat tipske statičnosti. Tem predelavam in dopolnitvam literarnih predlog zgodnejših obdobij so dodale še elemente magičnega, ki so si jih izposodile deloma iz antične mitologije in deloma iz čudežnih pripovedi, značilnih za ljudsko pripovedništvo, s poudarkom na vilah in njihovi magični moči.
Leading Creative Problem Solving
Authors: Herborn Crystal Yolande , Scholtz Frances
Published: November 2020

This chapter explores the potential of mindfulness as a tool to assist us to think creatively when attempting to solve a problem. The study was conducted within an organisational setting and aimed to explore the impact of a mindfulness intervention on the creativity of leaders. A mixed methods research strategy was implemented, and an intrinsic case study employed in the study. The sample consisted of fourteen leaders of an organisation within the South African ICT industry. The data was collected using interviews, MAAS (mindfulness awareness attention scale) questionnaires, alternate uses tasks, and a creative problem-solving exercise. The findings highlighted that exposure to a brief mindfulness intervention seems to have positively impacted the dispositional mindfulness of leaders, as well as appear to have positively impacted their ability to creatively solve a problem. Participants highlighted the notion of pausing, reflecting, and resetting when dealing with daily challenges, which resulted in the PRR model being constructed.
Can Community Education Promote Community Participation in the Local Economic Development (LED) Activities in this Era of 2019-nCoV
Authors: Chummun Bibi Zaheenah , Ndlangamandla Wiseman Siboniso
Published: November 2020

The 2019-nCoV has come as an unexpected wicked challenge especially to the vulnerable ones as it has significantly affected the local economic development (LED) activities of many local people in communities of South Africa. In this chapter, the role of community education as a problem-solving measure in promoting community participation in LED will be explored as limited participation in those activities prevail especially in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic. The study provides the challenges posed by the limited participation in the communities and the economy and explains how the local participation is important through community education (CE) programmes in LED activities. Since community education indeed plays a huge role in enhancing community participation in LED activities, the government officials, policymakers and others need to work closely with local people so that they can understand the essence of socio-economic issues that communities daily encounter in the wake of the pandemic.
Visual Stories of COVID-19 Social-Physical Distancing From Tagged Social Imagery
Authors: Hai-Jew Shalin
Published: November 2020

“Social distancing,” combined with self-quarantining and self-isolating, are some of the few initial defensive stances for naïve humanity against a highly transmissible and contagious lethal pathogen, until more high-powered medical science-based interventions (therapeutics, vaccines) are available. “Social distancing” refers to various approaches: the physical distancing of people from each other, the wearing of face masks in public, the washing of hands to avoid contaminants from others' microbes, and others. On social media, social imagery labeled “social distancing” (by both folk tagging and automated machine tagging) may be studied to better understand the surprise of transitioning from modern hypersociality (oversharing, high connectance, lessened senses of personal privacy) to sudden social-physical distancing with only the mitigations of electronic connectivity. This work takes a systematized manual analysis of social imagery to better understand social-physical distancing in a present-day pandemic.
Societal Shutdown and Reopening and Reclosing in the U.S. as Expressed in Social Imagery Narratives
Authors: Hai-Jew Shalin
Published: November 2020

In the COVID-19 pandemic era, political leaders have to navigate a difficult socio-political landscape balancing mass public health with socio-economic interests. They have to protect their susceptible populations and protect the social structures supporting their respective economies, healthcare systems, educational systems, international relationships, law and order, cultures and subcultures, national values, and others. A pandemic tends to disrupt systems and spark other social discontents among roiling publics. In May 2020, the U.S. started reopening from a mass lockdown involving a majority of its states, even as viral transmission rose. This work explores visual senses of societal shutdown, societal reopening, and societal (partial) reclosing in the U.S. in social imagery (all captured July 3, 2020, during the crisis) to better understand public responses to public health and other government interventions.
Familismo and Nontraditional Educational Possibilities in Third Space
Authors: Bussert-Webb Kathy , Lewis Karin
Published: November 2020

The authors explore children's and mothers' perceptions and experiences regarding school and an after-school tutorial agency. The latter serves a South Texas colonia, an unincorporated Southwestern settlement lacking basic services. They asked, “What are participants' perceptions and experiences regarding this agency and school?” Latinx participants, who spoke Spanish as a mother tongue, included 19 children, their eight mothers, two agency staff, and 15 teacher candidates (TCs). TCs were Bussert-Webb's university students who tutored the children and used iPads for multimodal, multilingual experiences. Using Third Space and social justice frameworks and qualitative analysis, these themes emerged: power, engagement, and diversity; participants described traditional educational experiences at school and nontraditional ones at the agency. Implications connect to hybridity and power redistributions in and out of schools to affirm and extend the languages, cultures, and modalities of nondominant children and families.
Perceived Challenges and Opportunities of Digital Games
Authors: Alshaya Khalifa , Beck Pamela
Published: November 2020

This qualitative study explored the perceived challenges ELL teachers encounter when using and implementing digital games as educational tools. Six ELL teachers were interviewed, and a phenomenological lens was used to analyze the data. The synthesis of textural and structural meanings and essences as a last step of phenomenological data analysis lead to two major findings of ELL teachers' experiences with digital games: logistical and pedagogical. The findings indicate that there is a lack of resources, support, time, and overwhelming choices that characterize the logistical challenges. On the other hand, ELL teachers teaching philosophy, curriculum, and training highlights the pedagogical challenge of incorporating digital games.
