Toda voz es una multitud (poesía y poética en William Carlos Williams)
Authors: Surghi Carlos
Published: November 2023

La poética de William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) puede entenderse a la luz de la configuración de una experiencia de la voz como multitud. Nuestro trabajo analiza sus primeras reflexiones sobre la tradición y la innovación en la literatura norteamericana, para centrarse así en su poema más ambicioso, Paterson (1946-1958), particularmente en el “Libro Dos. Domingo en el parque”, en el que la poesía abraza los registros del habla para captar las modulaciones materiales y subjetivas de una lengua.

Published: November 2023

The development of technology with the rise of social media applications on smartphones makes students easier and more comfortable in carrying out various activities. The convenience of these features encourages students to use smartphones unwisely so that they will experience feelings of anxiety when away from smartphones known as nomophobia tendencies. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of impulsive behavior to nomophobia tendencies in students in Makassar City. The method in this study is quantitative correlation with the Spearman rho test. This study involved students in Makassar City who have more than one social media application aged 18-25 years using incidental sampling technique. The results in this study indicate that there is a positive relationship between impulsive behavior and nomophobia tendencies in students in Makassar City with a correlation coefficient of 0.504 with a significance level of 0.000. The results of additional analysis also show that the nomophobia tendency variable has a relationship based on the duration of social media use, the frequency of social media use, and the number of social media applications. The implication of this study is the need for students to set limits in using smartphones for positive aspects in life.

Published: November 2023

The global demand for higher education has been steadily increasing, leading to a rise in student numbers. This surge in enrollment has significant implications for students' learning environment, including factors such as class size and the availability of lecturers. The study was purposely to validate if the learning environment influences students’ academic performance in universities in Central Uganda. The study used 381 final-year undergraduates and 19 lecturers from Nkumba University and Kyambogo University, using a convergent parallel mixed methods research design. The study took both a subjective and objective epistemological stance. Data were collected using a five-point Likert scale structured questionnaire, interview guides, and findings corroborated with a documentary review. The correlation analysis revealed a positive and significant relationship between students’ learning environment and academic performance in the selected universities in Central Uganda (r=.457, p=.000<0.05), and regression analysis showed that all the constructs of students’ learning environment explain 26.7% of the variation in students’ academic performance (R²=0.267). Findings from the study may direct evidence-based policy reform in Uganda’s higher education. The limitations of the study included the selection of a small sample of only two universities which cannot be generalized to all universities in Uganda. The study recommends that policymakers and university management focus on improving the learning environment in universities in Central Uganda.

Developing a Comprehensive Higher Education Service Quality Model in Ethiopian Context
Authors: Oliso Zelalem Zekarias , Alemu Demoze Degefa , Jansen Jonathan David , Hussein Jeilu Oumer
Published: November 2023

The existing literature lacks a comprehensive service quality model to measure higher education service quality, particularly from the Ethiopian higher education context. The main purpose of this study was to address this literature gap. To serve the study purpose, the existing generic service quality models mainly designed for market and higher education sectors were thoroughly reviewed. Through an extensive literature review, a comprehensive higher education service quality model was developed. The content validity and reliability of the instrument were empirically tested in three public universities representing 30% of universities located in the Southern part of Ethiopia. Five experienced experts who were selected from three different sample universities judged the content validation of the instrument. The experts’ judgment in each item was quantitatively calculated using the Content Validity Index. The pilot study was conducted on 40 regular undergraduate students who were purposively selected from the different University departments to further analyze the reliability of the instrument while the internal consistency of the instrument was checked at Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.5 using Statistical Package for Social Sciences v.20. The findings of the study revealed that the newly developed model was valid and internally consistent. Since the present model is comprehensive and empirically tested in the Ethiopian higher education context, the model better measures the Ethiopian higher education service quality. However, further studies should be conducted using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to strengthen the present findings.

Authors: Panergayo Albert Andry
Published: November 2023

This paper examined the conceptual understanding, self-efficacy, and scientific creativity of the students in Physics. The study further investigated the significant difference observed in the study variables according to sex and grade level using multivariate analysis. Using descriptive model of research design, the 125 Senior High School (SHS) students were asked to fill out the Physics Conceptual Understanding (PCU) test, Science Learning Self-Efficacy Scale (SLSE), and Scientific Creativity (SC) test. After the score were tallied and organized, two-way MANOVA was administered to determine the difference in the outcome variables when grouped according to sex and grade level. Based on Pillai’s Trace as revealed, there was a statistically significant difference in independent variables based on grade level. The analysis further revealed that PCU (𝑝=0.675) and SLSE (𝑝=0.101) are unaffected, while SC (𝑝=0.010) is influenced by the grade level. This study uncovered that there is no sex difference observed, while statistical variation exists in terms of grade level specifically to SC. This concludes that PCU, SLES, and SC is not affected by their sex identity but are associated on their academic level. Implications for practice into classroom are discussed and further suggestions of future research are provided.

Apolipoprotein A2 reduces the levels of circulating triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, an effect blocked by apolipoprotein E
Authors: Zvintzou Evangelia , Kypreos Kyriakos E.
Published: November 2023

Apolipoprotein A2 (APOA2), the second in quantity apolipoprotein of high density lipoprotein (HDL) is synthesized by the liver and much less by the intestine. Studies in humans, failed to establish a clear role for APOA2 in coronary heart disease and overall human physiology. Even though we know that APOA2 plays a key role in the biogenesis and functionality of HDL particles and can interact physically with other apolipoproteins such as apolipoprotein E (APOE), forming dimers, our knowledge on its role in triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) metabolism remains limited. Here, we investigated how functional interactions between APOA2 and APOE may affect plasma lipoprotein metabolism in the absence of apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1). For this purpose, APOA1 deficient and APOA1xAPOE double deficient mice were fed high fat diet for two weeks and were subsequently infected with either an adenovirus expressing the human APOA2 (AdAPOA2) or a control adenovirus AdGFP. Five days post-infection blood was collected, and plasma and lipoprotein fractions were isolated. After confirmation of human APOA2 expression in vivo by western blot we measured plasma and lipoprotein total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. APOA2 expression increased total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in APOA1 deficient mice. To the contrary, when APOA2 was expressed in APOA1xAPOE double deficient mice, which lack functional APOE a significant reduction in both plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels associated with a notable reduction in TRL was observed. Overall, our data support that a significant functional interaction between APOA2 and APOE impacts plasma TRL metabolism.

La aparición de la covid-19 nos ha llevado a encontrar síntomas no comunes en cierto tipo de pacientes, como el que mostraremos a continuación, paciente en el que se puede describir la macroglosia no tanto como un síntoma sino como una complicación, más aún cuando el paciente presenta un traumatismo de la lengua debido a colocación en posición prono.
Social class and Gestalt therapy: are we blind?
Authors: Gartner Joelle
Published: November 2023

"Abstract Social class and social inequality in the context of Gestalt therapy are boundary events, forces in the Person/Other field, one of several power relations that play out in our interactions. They are also forces that shape our profession. Yet, unlike sexism, homophobia and racism, they are rarely discussed in Gestalt writing. I explore some ways a 'working class’ background, and a class difference between us as individuals and the people we work with, impact our clients, our trainees and ourselves. I will address the questions: How does class manifest as a force in the client-therapist field? Are we 'class blind' in our therapeutic or supervision work and training curricula? I will offer some examples from therapy and supervision, suggest some reasons for the absence of this topic from Gestalt teaching and outline possible methodological tools to explore this. Keywords social class, Gestalt therapy, therapy training, power relationships, inequality, field theory, ideology, identity politics, capitalism"

Authors: Immich Gabriel , Visentin Caroline , Braun Adeli Beatriz , Reginatto Cleomar , Thomé Antônio
Published: November 2023

The Success in bioremediation techniques depends on factors such as site characteristics, environmental factors, contaminant nature (temperature, pH, nutrients), presence of suitable biodegradable genes, the contamination nature, etc. Earthworms can aid in these on these factors, through their biological, chemical and physical characteristics, they aerate the soil, improve the nutritional status and help to release the contaminants binding in the soil particles, besides, they help the degrading microorganisms’ dispersion. Biodiesel is a contaminant widely used in the fuel industry, and its production is encouraged. Thus, the aim of this study is analyzed the efficiency of an earthworm species (Eudrilus eugeniae) to remediated a residual clayey soil contaminated with biodiesel, with and without assistance for biostimulated native microorganisms. Therefore, a clay soil was contaminated with biodiesel (24 g / kg) and the ability of the earthworms of the species (Eudrilus eugeniae) to degrade biodiesel with or without biostimulation (cattle manure) for a period of 90 days was analyzed. Earthworms and cow dung have proved to be efficient for remediation processes, providing 100% degradation at the end of 90 days for "biostimulation and earthworm" and "biostimulation, microorganisms and earthworm" samples. Thus, the use of earthworms contributes to a faster remediation process and, together with microorganisms, they are a more sustainable solution for application in areas contaminated with fuels.
Pancasila and Ujamaa: Philosophies of Unity for Promoting Tolerance in a (Global) Society Which is Multi-Cultural and Multi-Religious
Authors: Mbuta Neema
Published: November 2023

Pancasila and Ujamaa are two philosophies of unity. Pancasila comes from Indonesia, an Asian country with a complex geographical setup, composed of a scatter of islands and a multi-cultural population of Muslim majority with Buddhism, Hinduism and Christian minorities. Ujamaa is practiced in Tanzania, in East Africa. Tanzania has more than one hundred and twenty ethnic groups. Despite the different contexts in which the two philosophies have operated, the end results have been the same; in each country, the respective philosophy has exhibited unity which has played an important role in maintaining tolerance and stability in the respective nations, despite the tensions which exist throughout history between the different groups in the two nations. This chapter attempts to examine the potential of the two philosophies of unity to maintain the spirit of tolerance in a global multi-cultural and multi-religious society. To reach this goal, the author engages in conceptual analysis and comparison of the social-political circumstances of Pancasila and Ujamaa at their formation and practice stages. This work has discovered a host of existential values in the philosophies of unity. The values, if maintained properly and shared through digital methods, may help to maintain the spirit of tolerance within the contemporary digital and multi–cultural world. It is the conviction of this chapter that the application of values present in Ujamaa and Pancasila is important nowadays due to the tendency present in society of regarding philosophies of unity as belonging to the past, while their impact can influence contemporary life and understanding can promise a better future.
Rainbow Nationalism as a Philosophy of National Unity in South Africa: Interpellation and Disillusionment
Authors: Mogomotsi Olerato
Published: November 2023

Rainbow Nationalism is a Post-Apartheid South African philosophy of national unity. The South African state, and its emergent national elites, sought to mend divisions of a racially oppressive past to successfully construct a nation unified in its diversity, and beyond its previous adversities. As a philosophy of national unity, Rainbow Nationalism is premised on a country unified behind a narrative of triumph over adversity through a principled commitment to reconciliation, non-racialism, liberal democracy, and respect for universal human rights. The South African state’s commitment to building national unity, from a divisive and oppressive Apartheid past, can be located more broadly in the plight of countries in the Global South to also build their respective unified national consciousnesses, after battling a colonial and contentious history. Interestingly, as a normative orientation and shared political philosophy for states in the Global South, the Bandung Spirit can be seen to encapsulate some of the key values manifest in Rainbow Nationalism. Worryingly, attempts to encourage the South African public into assuming Rainbow Nationalism as a normative orientation have been met with continued disillusionment. I contend that the disillusionment that philosophies of national unity like Rainbow Nationalism face results from their inability to maintain a clear distinction between treating the philosophy as a present ontological state and as a teleology. I argue that the ability to make the teleology of the philosophy of national unity compatible with and in service to the social reality of nations is what may make a principled commitment to the Bandung Spirit exempt from the challenge of self-effacement.

Early engine house construction: a comparison of the three oldest surviving structures
Authors: Hardwick David
Published: November 2023

The three oldest surviving engine houses are compared regarding the nature of their construction and similar key features. This is a preliminary step towards assessing the probable appearance of the first engine houses, i.e those built under the control of Thomas Newcomen and the ‘Proprietors of the Invention for Raising Water by Fire’, based on the surviving physical evidence. Even though this sample set is admittedly, and unavoidably, small a number of elements can be evaluated namely: wall thicknesses, particularly of the bob wall; the location of the main beam; the spring beams and the cylinder beams; the presence and purpose of the ‘boiler arch’; the provision of multiple chimneys. During the surveying process, all three structures were extensively photographed and a glossary of some of these images is included at the end of this article.

Published: November 2023

Tien jaar na de oprichting van het eerste practoraat in Amsterdam, schetsen we in dit artikel een beeld van de stand van zaken van onderzoek in het mbo. De tekst is gebaseerd op drie verkenningen die zijn geïnitieerd vanuit de MBO Raad met steun van de Stichting Practoraten. De eerste verkenning onder bestuurders van mbo-instellingen laat zien dat onderzoek in het mbo bij steeds meer instellingen een vaste voet aan de grond krijgt. Grote uitdaging is de kennisverspreiding binnen de school. De tweede vragenlijst onder een 20-tal practoren laat zien dat evidence-informed werken steeds meer invulling krijgt. De vele initiatieven versterken de zichtbaarheid en kwaliteit van het mbo. De derde verkenning onder lectoren laat zien dat onderzoek in het mbo een proces is van lange adem, maar zeer kansrijk als nieuwe verbindingen worden gelegd. Nadere prioritering is nodig om de slag te maken naar nieuwe niveaus van volwassenheid in het onderzoek in het mbo.
PREDICTION OF RESIDUAL STRESS AFTER HOT ROLLING AND COILING PROCESSES
Authors: Amado Flavio Peres , Gurova Tetyana
Published: November 2023

Residual stresses are a subject of great industrial and academic interest. Detection and prediction methods can be experimental, analytical and numerical furthermore there is a substantial amount of developed techniques. In this context, this manuscript intends to propose an analytical methodology for predicting residual stresses in the thickness of hot-rolled steel sheets, followed or not by coiling/uncoiling, by developing the basic differential equation of deflections, aided by a numerical prediction of the temperature profile throughout the cooling process. Basically, the sources of residual stresses are considered to be the austenite/products phase transformation, the evolution of the temperature gradient and the deformation/relief caused by coiling and uncoiling. Prediction results were compared to experimental own results and that from a reference. There was a good coincidence of values when the profile raised was the one caused by the temperature gradient. Other sources found no support for the cases analyzed. New experimental results are needed for conclusions to mature.

Published: November 2023

Since global crises humanity faces are becoming a regular phenomenon, the need to research the mechanisms for reaching business resilience has become crucial. Therefore, this paper explores the factors that influence one component of business resilience: companies' ability to adapt to changing circumstances with minimal destructive effect during crises. The literature review revealed three domains of company adaptability factors - individual, organizational, and external. The qualitative content analysis of responses from 218 heads and owners of companies from Europe, Asia, Africa, and America enabled us to determine factors that have the most significant weight in business adaptability The three tables that systemize 49 categories provide insights into the factors that impact business adaptability, based on the experiences of business practitioners during the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008, the COVID-19 pandemic, and Russia's war in Ukraine.
Refining the Art of Judgment Education: Evaluation of an Educational Case Study on Making Judgments About the Pros and Cons of COVID-19 Vaccination During the Pandemic
Authors: Kusumi Ariyoshi , Hama Yasukazu
Published: November 2023

We discussed the form of education that fosters rational judgment based on the selection and prioritization of a large amount of information. Specifically, we developed a lesson plan for fostering judgment skills focused on the theme of the pros and cons of COVID-19 vaccination for prevention. We sorted out the twelve requirements for classes from three perspectives: education for fostering judgment, risk education, and critical thinking education. Based on the extent to which the twelve requirements were reflected in the course design, the course was evaluated on two aspects: "A: education that promotes subjective judgment without scientific or logical errors" and "B: education to achieve desirable judgment through communication." As a result, it was evident from the questionnaire survey evaluation that B was sufficiently achieved. On the other hand, the effectiveness of A resulted in different outcomes between student questionnaire survey evaluations and instructor assessments of the reports. In other words, while the student survey indicated sufficient achievement, the instructor evaluation indicated that it was not sufficient. From this, it is inferred that some simplification is important at least as an educational practice in this university.
relação da gestão do conhecimento com a memória organizacional retratada por bases de dados brasileiras
Authors: Damian Ieda Pelogia Martins
Published: November 2023

Considerando que solo el conocimiento es capaz de crear ventajas competitivas sostenibles para que las organizaciones puedan enfrentar los desafíos contemporáneos, y que estas ventajas solo pueden ser disfrutadas a través de la memoria organizacional, este trabajo realizó un levantamiento bibliográfico sobre la gestión del conocimiento, los modelos de implementación de la gestión del conocimiento, factores críticos de éxito de la gestión del conocimiento y la memoria organizacional. Las búsquedas, de 2008 a 2021, se realizaron en la Base de Dados de Periódicos em Ciência da Informação y en la Scientific Electronic Library Online. Se recuperaron 435 registros que, eliminadas inconsistencias y duplicaciones, resultaron en 243 registros válidos. A través de esta encuesta, fue posible verificar el análisis situacional sobre los estudios que involucran a los conceptos investigados, así como la relación entre ellos, en los últimos 14 años, lo que permitió, como resultado, afirmar que estos temas están en evidencia, sin embargo, la relación entre ellos necesita ser explorada más a fondo. Se cree que la realización de estudios como este puede contribuir a la consolidación de la gestión del conocimiento, la memoria organizacional y las Ciencias de la Información, además de colaborar para que haya más casos exitosos de gestión del conocimiento en las organizaciones.

La tecnología blockchain ha ganado un protagonismo significativo en el mundo de los negocios. Su impacto se ha sentido en numerosos sectores, pero su integración e interoperabilidad continúa siendo compleja. Siguen existiendo numerosos retos, tanto para el área usuaria y consultores de negocio, como para los ingenieros informáticos. Uno de los retos identificados por la comunidad investigadora, es la necesidad de proporcionar mecanismos que permitan especificar, verificar y validar los requisitos y reglas de negocio que deben cumplir los smart contracts antes de su despliegue en una red blockchain. Este artículo describe una propuesta basada en la ingeniería dirigida por modelos y orientada al usuario, cuyo objetivo es obtener pruebas funcionales a partir de las especificaciones de los smart contracts, de forma sistemática. Esta propuesta ha sido validada en el proyecto SmartISBN, proyecto I+D+i, que tenía entre sus objetivos asegurar la calidad software de los smart contracts y, sobre todo, mejorar la trazabilidad de las publicaciones digitales (libros y revistas electrónicas). utilizando para ello la tecnología blockchain. En este contexto, la presente propuesta, ha facilitado la comunicación entre expertos funcionales (autores, editoriales, libreros, etc.) e ingenieros informáticos durante la etapa de especificaciones de la solución global SmartISBN y, de los smart contracts, en particular, así como durante la definición de las pruebas funcionales necesarias para la validación del proyecto.
Duoethnography for Reconciliation: Learning through Conversations
Authors: MacDonald Jennifer , Markides Jennifer
Published: November 2023

Positioned by our different cultural backgrounds and histories, we come together as educators to form an ethical space of engagement to discuss the complexities of truth and reconciliation in Canada. As an opening for our dialogue, we reflect on our earlier research—a duoethnographic reading of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action. We came to this work with little prior knowledge, and mixed feelings of nervousness, reverence, and responsibility. By sharing our journey, we may offer direction and support for others interested in beginning or furthering their own reconciliatory journeys. We invite readers to join in our conversations around coming together, negotiating collective responsibilities, making space for dialogue, and creating safety for making mistakes. As we walk together, we see this as a complex opening of possibilities, which requires continuous and simultaneous circling back and circling forward. Positionnées par nos milieux et nos antécédents culturels différents, nous nous retrouvons ensemble comme enseignantes pour former un espace éthique où discuter des complexités de la vérité et réconciliation au Canada. En guise de début de dialogue, nous réfléchissons sur notre recherche antérieure, une lecture duo-ethnographique des 94 appels à l’action de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation. Quand nous avons commencé ce travail, nous avions peu de connaissances antérieures et ressentions à la fois de la nervosité, de la révérence et un sens de responsabilité. En partageant notre parcours, nous espérons orienter et appuyer ceux et celles qui s’intéresseraient à entamer ou poursuivre leur propre processus de réconciliation. Nous invitons les lecteurs à se joindre à nos conversations portant sur le rassemblement, la négociation de responsabilités collectives, et l’établissement d’un d’espace pour le dialogue où les gens se sentent à l’aise de commettre des erreurs. En se déplaçant ensemble, nous entrevoyons des possibilités complexes qui exigent des mouvements continus et simultanés vers l’avant et l’arrière.
