Students' Perceptions of Older Adults: Effects of a Service-Learning Experience
Authors: Kanenberg Heather , Mapp Susan , Dudley Rustin , McFarland Margaret
Published: April 2021

Previous literature has established an improvement in student attitudes toward older adults after a service- learning experience with this population. This study furthered the research by conducting a mixed- method comparison group study with a sample of 151 traditional- aged BSW students. Both groups increased in positive perceptions toward older adults on the Polizzi's (2003) refined Aging Semantic Differential Scale, and there was no significant difference between them. Qualitative results specific to those working with seniors suggest that students either improved or maintained positive attitudes toward this population. Therefore service learning may not need to be specific to this population to improve attitudes but does assist in reinforcing classroom material. Findings illustrate a need for further study of the overall impact of the social work curriculum as well as possible cultural shifts in attitudes toward older adults.
Increasing Empathy Toward Older Adults With Dementia: Results of a Dementia Simulation
Authors: Werner Danilea , Powell Angela , Clark Renee
Published: April 2021

Baccalaureate-level social workers are often the front line of service for older adults with dementia. Therefore, future social workers must be provided knowledge, resources, and experiences to build the confidence and competence to work with clients exhibiting dementia symptoms at the undergraduate level. This study explores the impact of an experiential learning technique that provides undergraduate students in two introductory-level social work courses with an opportunity to participate in a dementia simulation. The simulation allows students to briefly experience life as an older adult with dementia. Results indicate that the simulation had a significant effect on the students' empathy toward and understanding of older adults with dementia.

Authors: Quinteiro José Reinaldo de Araújo , Silva Rosimeire Soares da
Published: April 2021

Este artigo, de natureza qualitativa, objetiva apresentar como ocorrem os saberes e a sociabilidade na metodologia de projetos do Colégio Estadual da Polícia Militar – Rio Verde. Para tanto, questiona-se: quais saberes se destacam dentro de uma unidade militar de ensino? Como a sociabilidade se manifesta? O tipo de pesquisa que se utiliza é o de campo, mediante observação in loco e sistematização dos procedimentos analisados; e bibliográfica com fundamentação teórica ancorada nas perspectivas filosófica, com enfoque na problemática pedagógica. O método investigativo é o dedutivo, uma vez que parte da premissa de que essa Unidade de ensino rompe com expectativa do senso comum de rigidez metodológica (por ser unidade militar de ensino) e vivencia uma prática de projetos inclusiva. O resultado obtido está pautado na confirmação da hipótese inicial aliada à comprovação de que essas metodologias se integram ao que se prevê nos princípios da BNCC: desenvolvimento de competências.

A MULHER, ENTRE O JUDAÍSMO SEPARATISTA E OS CRISTIANISMOS ORIGINÁRIOS
Authors: Franco José Frederico Sardinha
Published: April 2021

A práticas religiosas judaicas se reconstroem após o período do pós-exílio babilônico, contribuindo para um novo modelo de judaísmo baseado na interpretação legalista de suas Leis, que eram interpretadas segundo os seus próprios interesses. Enquanto a circuncisão elevava o direito social de igualdade dos masculinos, a mulher continuava o seu martírio, sendo rejeitada pelo simples fato de ser mulher, por ser considerada impura durante seu círculo menstrual (puro e impuro) e por não ser circuncidada. É neste contexto que aparece a mensagem cristã, desenvolvida sob a proclamação de igualdade promovida pelo ritual do batismo. Este ritual representava o novo modelo de união promovida pelos cristãos, que procurou estabelecer o mesmo direito de igualdade tanto a gregos como a judeus, a homens e a mulheres a escravos e livres. Desta forma, será utilizada como metodologia de estudo, a pesquisa bibliográfica, desenvolvida com base em materiais já publicados, que ajudará na interpretação do modelo separatista promovido pela comunidade judaica a partir da prática da circuncisão frente ao modelo de igualdade estimulada por Paulo em Gálatas 3,28.
A VOCAÇÃO DO SERVO DE YHWH PARA O DIREITO E A JUSTIÇA (Is 42,1-9)
Authors: Rossi Luiz Alexandre , Pelinski Marcio
Published: April 2021

A missão do servo de YHWH é prática, ou seja, pautada pela justiça e pelo direito a partir das relações que acontecem no cotidiano. Assim, a missão do servo não é estabelecida a partir de palavras e, sim, de ações. Direito e justiça são expressões que dizem respeito às relações sociais, políticas e econômicas construídas na história. Sendo assim, o servo cumpre fielmente a missão dada por YHWH aproximando-se solidariamente das pessoas mais fragilizadas da sociedade.

Investigación psicopedagógica e investigación en Psicopedagogía: Diferenciación necesaria desde una perspectiva epocal, de la complejidad, disciplinar, profesional, inter y transdisciplinar
Authors: Ricci Cristina
Published: April 2021

Transitando la tercera década del siglo XXI en el ámbito de las Ciencias Sociales y de las Humanidades la Psicopedagogía puede ser considerada, con ciertos matices, como una Profesión y una Disciplina, incluso puede visualizarse como un Campo inter-trans disciplinar, al que ad hoc denomino Ciencias Psicopedagógicas, si bien no hay consenso generalizado sobre esto, al menos en Iberoamérica. Esta conceptualización epistemológica, hunde sus raíces en la condición y características inherentes al objeto y al quehacer psicopedagógico considerado, este último, como el acaecer de Prácticas del conocimiento en un tipo específico de Comunidad de prácticas. Este posicionamiento y nuestra perspectiva metodológica, nos permite diferenciar en el campo psicopedagógico entre investigación psicopedagógica e investigación en Psicopedagogía, donde la primera estaría vincula con la reconfiguración y resignificación de saberes en la práctica profesional y, la segunda con la configuración, construcción o producción de conocimiento disciplinar, interdisciplinar y/o transdisciplinar. Saberes y conocimientos que permiten consolidar la profesión, disciplina y campo interdisciplinar de la Psicopedagogía fundamentando, así, científicamente las Prácticas del conocimiento que allí tienen lugar. Entre las Prácticas del conocimiento la intervención psicopedagógica en distintos ámbitos -escolar, socioeducativo, sanitario, laboral, recreativo, clínico, entre otros- y las Prácticas investigativas ocupan un lugar central. Profesión, disciplina, campo, ámbitos, prácticas atravesados y constituidos en la urdiembre de la complejidad, es decir, por ese tejido de eventos, acciones, interacciones, retroacciones, determinaciones, azares, que constituyen nuestro mundo fenoménico. Es, desde este enfoque que el objetivo del presente artículo es poner en diálogo categorías tales como profesión y disciplina, tipos de saberes con sus variedades epistémicas y modalidades metodológicas, intervención e investigación en un campo y quehacer específico, a la vez que heterogéneo y diverso como lo es el psicopedagógico. Para tal fin, desarrollaré sucesivamente, sabiendo que están imbricadas, cuestiones conceptuales vinculadas al objeto psicopedagógico, al quehacer psicopedagógico, a la Psicopedagogía como profesión, disciplina y campo interdisciplinar para, finalmente relacionar los distintos tipos de saberes con investigación psicopedagógica e investigación en Psicopedagogía presentando sus rasgos específicos y comunes.
ANALYSIS OF FACTORS AFFECTING REMOTE BANKING SERVICES IN THE PROCESS OF BANK TRANSFORMATION IN UZBEKISTAN
Authors: Mamadiyarov Z.
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Today, the transformation of banks requires, firstly, the establishment of digital banks, and secondly, the change in the activities of existing banking departments and the reduction of banking costs. In digital banks, banking services will be fully automated and self-management systems will be created for bank customers. In particular, today’s demand is that as a result of the development of the digital economy, banks are required to serve a large number of customers not by increasing the number of branches, but by developing remote banking services. In the process of transformation of banks in Uzbekistan, due to the increasing availability of remote banking services on the basis of mobile, Internet and other banking technologies, their level of security, risk minimization, ease of use, importance of use, public awareness of these services, usefulness of services, etc. the factors are econometrically analyzed based on the conceptual model created by the author. These affect the development of remote banking services (customer awareness of remote banking services (As), risk of using remote banking services (R), ease of use of remote banking services (Eu), understanding the usefulness of remote banking services (Uu), cost of remote banking services (Cs), security in the use of remote banking services (Ss)) were hypothesized. In order to assess the impact of these hypotheses, a survey of clients of the Tashkent branch of Joint-Stock Commercial Bank with foreign capital «HAMKORBANK» was conducted and the results of the survey were econometrically analyzed on the basis of a conceptual model created by the author. These hypotheses have also been studied by foreign economists and their conclusions are given. The results of this study are of practical importance for the development of remote banking services in the banking system of Uzbekistan.

METHODICAL APPROACHES TO THE ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF THE QUALITY OF TRANSFORMATION PROCESSES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FINANCIAL SECTOR
Authors: Baranovskyi О. , Boiarko I. , Zlunitsyna T.
Published: April 2021

Abstract. The existing methods of separate central banks, regulators of financial markets, international financial and credit institutions, rating agencies and consulting companies, which can be used partially to assess the quality of transformational processes taking place in the financial sector, are analyzed. An adequate methodical toolkit is proposed, which will allow to assess the potential of the domestic financial sector, to identify the patterns of transformation processes, and also to assess the impact of their quality on the functioning of financial intermediaries and to propose appropriate mechanisms for ensuring their further development. The structural-logical scheme of formation of criteria and system of indicators of the quality of transformational processes in the financial sector of the country’s economy is developed.
Investigated general approaches are considered to be useful for developing a methodology for the integral assessment of the quality of transformation processes in the financial sector of the economy by specifying the content of the main stages and methodological approaches to the goals and object of the research. Assessment of the quality of transformation processes in the financial sector of the national economy is an ambiguous process. This is due to the fact that, firstly, in this regard it can be considered as the impact of transformations on the quality of objects, and as the quality of the transformations in particular. Secondly, transformation processes in the financial sector of the national economy can be positive and negative; general and specific; large-scale and minor; systematic and dotted; intensive and extensive; priority and non-priority; stimulating and moderating; divergent; resource, technological, institutional, organizational, quality, behavioral; timely and spatial; painful, conflict and non-conflict; and also they are made with different expenses. Thirdly, both expected and actual results of transformation processes in the financial sector should be assessed.
Keywords: financial sector, transformation, transformation processes, indicators of the quality of transformation processes, methodology for assessing the quality of transformational processes.

To determine the studied object, the influence of the financial motivation of the personnel, the content of the category «effectiveness of financial motivation» is disclosed; the methods of the financial motivation are characterized; the types of the production resources of the enterprise are presented. Generalization of the provisions makes it possible to characterize the effectiveness of the financial motivation of the staff in two main areas: providing salaries and other bonuses in accordance with the quantity and quality of the labor results as well as the labor cost in the labor market; enhancing the employer’s growth: the labor productivity as well as the absolute indicators of income, profit on 1 UAH of salary (salary-making).
The theoretical approach to manage production resources is developed on the basis of the financial motivation of the personnel. This approach provides the implementation of three stages:
The first stage is the analysis of the state of efficiency of the financial motivation of the personnel. It provides the implementation of: definition of state financial efficiency of personnel motivation and problem statement; formulation of the purposes of the financial motivation of the personnel in terms of impact on the use of production resources of the enterprise.
The second stage is the development of decisions to the growing influence of financial motivation of staff on the use of production resources. It involves the implementation of: defining a set of restrictions; generalization of relevant decisions. The third stage is decision-making and implementation. It provides the implementation of: development of decision selection criteria; selection and implementation of the relevant solution.
The proposed analytical justification for making appropriate decisions takes into account organizational, informational and technological aspects and involves the use of appropriate decision-making methods to select the optimal option for influencing the use of production resources.
Keywords: management, production resources of the enterprise, financial motivation of the personnel, efficiency of the financial motivation, managerial decisions.

Introduction: Students are the main recipients of educational services in universities. By investigating their expectations and perceptions of educational performance, we can provide the context for program developing to improve educational quality of services. In previous studies, the quality of services was reported from the perspective of undergraduate students. Since the expectations and the type of education are various in different stages, the current study investigates the quality of educational services based on the SERVQUAL model in postgraduate and graduate students.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 321 students at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (58 bachelor, 67 masters, 58 PhD and 134 residents) by a questionnaire to evaluate the quality of educational services based on SERVQUAL model in 2018. Participants were selected by convenient sampling method and by answering the questionnaire, their opinions in five dimensions of service quality (Reliability, Responsiveness, Empathy, Assurance, Tangibles with a score range from 1 to 4 and the gap between the current situation and the desired between -3 to +3) were determined. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 26, paired t-test, independent sample t-test and ANOVA.
Result: The results of current study indicated that there was a negative gap between students' expectations and perceptions in all five dimensions. ). In general, the largest gap was in the response dimension (-1.1 ± 0.76) and the lowest was in the confidence dimension (-0.78 ± 0.69). Among different levels of students, the largest gap  is from the perspective of undergraduate students (-1.1 ± 0.7) and the smallest gap possess to the PhD students (-0.69 ± 0.57), and the total service gap from the viewpoint of the non-native students (-1.0 ± 0.6) was higher than native students (-0.85 ± 0.67).
Conclusion: According to this study, the quality of services has been lower than students' achievements in all dimensions. This requires specific planning in priority areas for quality improvement.

Published: April 2021

Introduction: Medical humanities are one of the most important interdisciplinary needs. Since the most important discussion in this field is how to achieve it, the purpose of this study is to analyze it from the perspective of humanities experts in the Iran.
Method: The present study is a national wide qualitative study that was conducted in 2019. Considering the saturation criterion, data were collected through 22 semi-structured interviews and two open questionnaires from the participants. Study analysis was performed by thematic analysis method.
Results: The participants were critical of the current situation of medical humanities in the country because there is no effective and serious relationship between humanities and medical sciences. To achieve this, four themes of institutional knowledge development, neighborhood (non-institutional development), policies and sociability were extracted.
Conclusion: The development of medical humanities requires macro-policies in the country to be done with organizational institutional support. In these policies, proximity between the two areas and attention to the field of culture are also suggested. In this regard, it is suggested to have a native approach in returning to the traditions and roots of humanities and especially the history of literature in medical education.

The genus Solanum is one of the most important of the flora of Senegal both for its specific richness and its socio-economic value. However, while cultivated species are studied in various forms, wild species are frequently eliminated. The study aims to provide information on the chorology, ecology and uses of wild relatives of cultivated leafy vegetables. Population surveys were conducted and the results obtained were supplemented by literature search and information mentioned in the herbarium parts. The study revealed that these species occupy diverse environments. In Senegal, they are present in all agro-ecological zones with a great diversity in the Niayes zone. They are found in arid environments where the vegetation is steppe type as well as in humid environments composed mainly of savannah and are more fond of tropical ferruginous soils. The ethnobotanical study carried out revealed five types of use: medicinal (47.87%), food (27.66%), cultural (14.89%), fodder (8.51%) and artisanal (1.06%). The organs assigned to these uses are the leaf (43.36%) followed by the root (30.97%), the fruit (24.78%) and the stem (0.88%). The knowledge of the species favors a better valorization of those living in ecosystems in prey to a strong urbanization.

Ecuador compared to other countries in Latin America and the world, has low connectivity and job development due to competencies focused on the practice of using ICTs. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the relationship between Income Inequality (Gini Coefficient) and digital illiteracy (Percentage of people) based on specific data from Ecuador between the years 2008 - 2019. The applied methodology was a quantitative approach, with descriptive scope and non-experimental transectional design. The information collection technique was statistical, and the simple linear regression model was applied based on variables analyzed in theoretical studies such as those of Katz & Koutroumpis (2012) and Galperin and Ruzzier (2010). The results were that there is enough statistical evidence to demonstrate the relationship between the dependent variable Y = Digital illiteracy (Percentage of people) and the independent variable X = Income Inequality (Gini Coefficient) with an ANOVA significance of 0.00%, an R ^ 2 = 86.3%, of which indicates that the model has a good fit to the explanatory variable, with a sensitivity of Î² = 0.438.

The dairy sector plays a crucial role in economic growth and development of Kenya. However, many firms in the sector, especially the small and medium-sized, continue to face performance challenges such as competition from unregulated informal milk market, accessing markets and high industry barriers among others. A review of literature shows that the effect of strategic thinking on the performance of small and medium-sized dairy processing firms remains uncertain. This study sought to determine the effect of strategic thinking and performance of small and medium-sized dairy processing firms in Kenya. The study was anchored on the Leidtka Model. Positivism research philosophy was adopted. Descriptive and explanatory research designs were used. A census survey was conducted on all the small and medium-sized dairy processing firms in Kenya and primary data was collected. Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation were used to explain data characteristics, while multiple regression was used to test the effect of the study variables on firm performance. The results showed that strategic thinking has a positive significant effect on the performance of small and medium-sized dairy processing firms in Kenya, thus it was perceived that strategic thinking aids creation of a path for what the firm wants to become through focusing on their intent, systems, timely thinking, intelligent opportunism, and hypothesis-driven research. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by filling contextual, empirical, and conceptual gaps identified earlier in literature and establishing a nexus of strategic thinking and performance of small and medium-sized dairy processing firms in Kenya. The study recommends that strategic thinking should be enhanced particularly by using research to inform their decision-making and practice quick decision-making to mitigate or exploit opportunities while thinking of possible solutions to unexpected challenges.

The study investigated transitional challenges among undergraduate (bachelor of education) sandwich students. Adopting the descriptive survey design, a census population of 651 was used. Sanagavarapu, Abraham and Taylorâ€™s (2018) TWHAS was used for data collection. The data was analysed using frequency counts and MANOVA. The study revealed that 59.6% of the students experienced difficulty in balancing family commitments with studies, 77.4% found it difficult to exercise, 61.0% found it difficult meeting up with friends and 73.3% found it difficult balancing financial commitments. Again, 45.2% of the students rarely experienced misunderstanding, while 25.0% were concerned about what others would say about them, 29.2% were concerned about the language barrier, 75.7% were concerned about their inability to explain their problems but 81.9% were not afraid seeking support from colleagues. More so, females experienced transitional challenges more than males. It is recommended for managers of the programmes to counsel students so as to control the effects of the challenges.

LancÃ©e en 2014, cette campagne dÃ©nommÃ©e Â« ZÃ©ro grossesse Ã  lâ€™Ã©cole Â» cours en ce moment dans les Ã©tablissements secondaires en CÃ´te dâ€™Ivoire. La mÃ©thodologie appliquÃ©e procÃ¨de tout dâ€™abord Ã  lâ€™analyse des documents (affiches et posters gÃ©ants) mis Ã  la disposition des Ã©lÃ¨ves. Ensuite, un entretien semi-directif a Ã©tÃ© organisÃ© avec un Ã©chantillon de cent (100) Ã©lÃ¨ves constituÃ© selon la mÃ©thode dâ€™Ã©chantillonnage de volontaires. Ces Ã©lÃ¨ves proviennent de lâ€™ensemble du pays. Les rÃ©sultats obtenus montrent des insuffisances et incohÃ©rences dans les affiches et messages contenus dans la campagne Â« ZÃ©ro grossesse Ã  lâ€™Ã©cole Â» dâ€™une part et de lâ€™autre, ces Ã©cueils occasionnent des incomprÃ©hensions chez les Ã©lÃ¨ves, et les exposent Ã  des comportements Ã  risques en rapport avec le sexe.
 
This paper, which is based on the field of communication and development, focuses on the communication strategy implemented by the Ivorian Ministry of Education and its partners with a view of confining the phenomenon of pregnancies in school. Launched in 2014, this campaign known as Â«Zero pregnancy at the schoolÂ» is currently underway in the secondary establishments in CÃ´te d'Ivoire. The methodology employed begins with the analysis of documents (posters and huge posters) which is first of all made available to the students. Thereafter, a semi-directive maintenance was organized with a sample of one hundred (100) students formed by using the volunteers' sampling method. These students came from across different countries. The results obtained show insufficiency and disconnectedness in posters and messages contained in the Â«Zero pregnancy at schoolÂ» campaign on one hand, while on the other hand, these pitfalls have caused students to misunderstand and expose themselves to risks related to sex.

Published: April 2021

Em geral, diferentes tempos de prática de treinamento podem se associar com alterada resposta neuromuscular em esportistas, durante períodos de fadiga aguda e recuperação pós-esforço. O presente trabalho foi proposto para analisar o desempenho eletromiográfico de músculos extensores do joelho após fadiga e protocolo de resfriamento muscular em universitários com diferentes históricos de prática esportiva. Os participantes (n=24) foram distribuídos em dois grupos, segundo experiência prática: G1 (6,60±0,70 anos) e G2 (11,57±0,44 anos); os procedimentos de eletromiografia foram realizados em músculos extensores do joelho durante um exercício isométrico em cadeira extensora. Não foram verificadas diferenças nas comparações entre grupos (p>0,05). Considerando-se o momento de análise, as medidas de root mean square (RMS) dos músculos vasto lateral e vasto medial foram maiores no momento pós-resfriamento, comparado aos momentos inicial e pós-exaustão (p<0,001). Não foram encontradas alterações na força muscular. Em conclusão, o desempenho eletromiográfico de músculos extensores de joelho não é afetado pelo histórico de prática esportiva em atletas universitários.

Objetiva-se analisar a participação econômica de dez produtos da sociobiodiversidade na economia brasileira, verificando sua espacialização no território nacional e examinando a operacionalização da Política de Preços Mínimos para a Sociobiodiversidade (PGPM-Bio). Obtiveram-se dados sobre o valor e a quantidade de produção dos dez produtos sob análise (açaí, babaçu, borracha, castanha-do-pará, carnaúba, mangaba, pequi, piaçava, pinhão, umbu) por meio do IBGE, e as informações acerca da PGPM-Bio, da CONAB. Os resultados apontaram que a extração desses recursos se sobressaiu nas Regiões Norte e Nordeste, e os principais itens, conforme o valor produzido, foram o açaí e o pó de carnaúba. Os maiores beneficiários da PGPM-Bio foram Maranhão, Bahia e Amazonas, respectivamente, com o babaçu, piaçava e borracha. Ademais, empregou-se menos da metade dos recursos destinados ao pagamento de subvenções.

O presente artigo é o resultado de uma pesquisa que aborda o estado do conhecimento das estratégias de marketing ambiental. Estudos foram realizados com o objetivo de fazer um panorama das pesquisas empíricas já realizadas, publicadas a partir do Banco de Teses da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes), selecionando-se os trabalhos mais relevantes sobre o tema em questão. Os dados obtidos possibilitaram compreender como o marketing ambiental foi capaz de agregar valor às marcas, assim como apresentar algumas características dos consumidores e os métodos de conduta das empresas para que se tornem de fato “verdes”. Essas estratégias foram identificadas para elevar o valor social e a rentabilidade dos produtos, por meio do marketing, de forma a equilibrar as necessidades da sociedade e a preservação do meio ambiente, contribuindo, assim, para que as ações empresariais alcancem o retorno esperado com o uso dessas estratégias.
