Augmented Reality (AR) as a New Educational Medium for Children: Using Road Safety Content
Authors: Shahrir Mar’iyah Sofia , Emran Muhammad Helmy
Published: February 2024

Road accidents, often involving one or more vehicles, can result in property damage, injuries, or even fatalities. These incidents can occur due to a range of factors, including human errors, adverse weather conditions, or mechanical failures, despite precautions taken by road users. Consequently, early education on road safety is crucial, especially for children. This research focuses on assessing children's knowledge of road accidents in Malaysia and evaluating the impact of augmented reality (AR) experiences on their understanding. To support this project, we developed an AR application using the Pendidikan Keselamatan Jalan Raya (PKJR) Year 2 Guidebook as a medium for students to learn about road safety. Selected pages in the book serve as markers, enabling students to engage with AR content while using the book. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of the AR application as an educational tool for children. A group of school children participated in testing this AR application, and their experiences were assessed using an adapted Game Experience Questionnaire (GEQ) model. The results indicate that after using the AR application, the group of 8-year-old children exhibited improved awareness of the road environment. This paper also explores the emotional aspects of participant experiences as emphasized by the GEQ. These findings highlight the potential of AR as an innovative tool for educating children about road safety, challenging traditional approaches, and promoting safer road behaviors among young individuals. Furthermore, this project aligns with the strategies outlined in the Malaysian Road Safety Plan 2020-2030, particularly in reducing risks to pedestrians. In a broader context, this study contributes to the evolving landscape of technology-driven safety initiatives, underscoring the importance of adapting contemporary educational mediums to address complex societal issues like road accidents. In conclusion, we discuss the potential for future studies involving road safety education and interactive technology.
A proposed Fedathi teaching sequence and the use of artificial intelligence techniques applied to the teaching of optical networks in telecommunications engineering
Authors: Gomes Sebastiao Elvis , Guimarães Glendo de Freitas
Published: February 2024

The Teaching physics through the traditional lecture method has proven to be a significant challenge for students. It is important to note that students often perceive learning physics as a complex task. This difficulty is often associated with the maintenance of traditional teaching methods, which place students in a passive position, as mere spectators, passive recipients of the knowledge transmitted. On the other hand, artificial intelligence has become increasingly present in our society and promises to revolutionize the way we interact with our world. Based on this discussion, this work presents a proposal for a Fedathi didactic sequence for teaching Physics through a simulation of optical networks using artificial intelligence.
Home office as an ESG practice: benefits and humanization of work as perceived by employees
Authors: Bastos Janaina Almeida , De Barros Neto João Pinheiro
Published: February 2024

Brazilians came across the COVID-19 health crisis in 2020 that broke with market and business standards, technologies and models, directly affecting people’s way of relating, working and living, reshaping social, cultural and economic contexts. Among these changes, remote work has never been more evident in the day-to-day lives of companies and their professionals. In this context, the question that guides this work is: what is the impact of the home office on the management of people in companies from the point of view of human resources. The objective of the work was to verify the perception of people about this mode of work, which can constitute a practice of ESG, since it contributes to the mitigation of a series of social and environmental problems of the modern world. The theoretical reference of the work is based mainly on the plural vision of ESG practices (ROMARO; SERRALVO, 2022) and on the humanization of people management (BARROS NETO, 2022; LIMONGI-FRANCE, 2012). This study is an exploratory survey, carried out by means of an online questionnaire, whose sample consisted of the response of 121 participants. The results indicate that teleworking can be a more humane way of working and a solution to numerous challenges that are being faced by organizations and society today in the environmental, social and governance aspects. As practical implications the study shows that home office adoption, widely endorsed by workers, is a way for companies to increase their employees’ motivation and commitment while contributing to building a better world for all. The originality and value of research lies in demonstrating that the benefits of good HR practices, such as home office deployment, can go beyond the internal scope of organizations.
De bijdrage van academisch opgeleide leerkrachten aan een onderzoekscultuur in basisscholen
Authors: Verhoef Louise , Volman Monique , Gaikhorst Lisa
Published: February 2024

Een onderzoekscultuur in scholen, waarin leraren gezamenlijk onderzoeksmatig werken, is belangrijk voor het verbeteren van onderwijskwaliteit. Dat was één van de redenen voor het ontstaan van academische opleidingen voor leerkrachten. Er is echter weinig bekend over de rol die academisch opgeleide leerkrachten inmiddels spelen in basisscholen. Dit casestudy onderzoek laat zien hoe vijf academische basisschoolleerkrachten bijdragen aan de onderzoekscultuur op hun school en welke factoren hun rol hierin stimuleren of belemmeren. Er zijn semigestructureerde interviews afgenomen met vijf leerkrachten en hun schoolleiders (N=10). Aanvullend zijn analyses van schoolbeleidsdocumenten en observaties van teamvergaderingen uitgevoerd. De resultaten laten zien dat deze academische leerkrachten op een drietal manieren bijdragen aan de onderzoekscultuur in hun school, namelijk door bestaande kennis met collega’s te delen, aan te zetten tot (gezamenlijke) kritische reflectie op het schoolbeleid en vernieuwingen vanuit een onderzoekende houding te initiëren. Zelfvertrouwen in het eigen vermogen om samen te werken op het gebied van onderzoeksmatig werken, en een formele onderzoeksrol binnen de school zijn volgens academisch opgeleide leerkrachten belangrijke factoren die hun bijdrage aan de onderzoekscultuur bevorderen.

La noción de campo en Kurt Lewin y Pierre Bourdieu un análisis comparativo
Authors: Fernández Fernández José Manuel , Puente Ferreras Aníbal
Published: February 2024

La noción de campo desempeñó un papel central en los proyectos científicos de Kurt Lewin y Pierre Bourdieu. En este artículo hacemos un análisis comparativo del uso teórico y metodológico que hicieron de este concepto en la producción de su fecunda obra en los campos de la psicología y de la sociología, respectivamente. Para ello nos hemos centrado en cinco cuestiones cruciales que de modo explícito plantearon estos dos investigadores en la elaboración de su teoría de campo: la ruptura con las objetivaciones parciales, la construcción del objeto, la dinámica interna de los campos, la delimitación de sus fronteras y la representación matemática de los hechos psicológicos y sociológicos. Concluimos con una síntesis en la que ponemos de relieve algunas importantes coincidencias y diferencias en la teoría de campo de Kurt Lewin y Pierre Bourdieu. Ambos le asignaron funciones epistemológicas similares, pero podemos apreciar en Lewin un mayor mimetismo respecto a la noción de campo proveniente de la física y sus posibilidades de formulación matemática, mientras que en Bourdieu la noción de campo es inseparable de las de habitus y capital, lo que facilita un análisis más integrado de los fenómenos micro y macrosociales, una apreciación más sofisticada de sus dimensiones temporales y criterios más precisos para establecer los límites de un campo.
¿Por qué el sistema de financiación autonómica es inestable?
Authors: León Sandra
Published: February 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las causas que explican la inestabilidad del sistema de financiación autonómica. El análisis muestra a partir de un juego en forma extendida que la inestabilidad es el resultado del comportamiento racional del gobierno central y de los gobiernos autonómicos. Por un lado, el gobierno central es incapaz de labrarse una reputación de jugador duro y renunciar a la utilización de la financiación para maximizar sus estrategias electorales. Por otro lado, el particular diseño institucional de la descentralización en España genera incentivos para la revisión continua del modelo de financiación por parte de los gobiernos autonómicos. Estos incentivos tienen su origen en las asimetrías entre el régimen foral y el régimen común, en la excesiva dependencia de las Haciendas autonómicas de las transferencias del gobierno central y en la redefinición permanente del reparto competencial entre Administraciones. Si estas características institucionales permanecen, no importa cuánto se comprometa el gobierno central a establecer un sistema de financiación estable; la renegociación periódica seguirá produciéndose si la actual estructura de incentivos se mantiene.

Profit is total income after deducting company costs or what can be called net profit. Profits generated by a company can be a benchmark for a company's success. To gain large profits, a company must be able to manage assets effectively and efficiently, because this can show that the company has good financial performance. One of the ratios that investors most often consider is the total assets turnover ratio. However, often a high asset management ratio does not indicate the company's effectiveness in managing high assets, but because inventory levels are low. A company is said to be insolvent when its debt position is greater than the total assets owned by the company. To find out whether it is solvable or not, it can be calculated using the debt to equity ratio. PT FKS Food Sejahtera Tbk (IDX: AISA) is a food producing company headquartered in Jakarta, Indonesia. This company was founded in 1990, with the main products being various types of ready-made food.

Sustainability risk management has become increasingly pertinent in the modern corporate landscape. It recognizes that environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are pivotal in shaping a company's long-term viability. Sustainability risks encompass a broad spectrum of issues, ranging from climate change and resource scarcity to labor practices and supply chain disruptions. These risks can have a significant impact on a company's financial performance, reputation, and stakeholder relationships. This paper examines the fundamental concepts and methodologies related to sustainability risk management, offering a structured framework for identifying, assessing, and mitigating such risks effectively. This process involves evaluating both existing and potential sustainability risks that could affect the company in the future. Additionally, the paper explores the potential role of accounting professionals in these efforts. Accounting professionals bring a unique skill set that can be instrumental in sustainability risk management. Their expertise in financial reporting, data analysis, and compliance is critical for ESG reporting and risk evaluation. They can aid in developing key performance indicators (KPIs) aligned with sustainability goals and assist in crafting comprehensive sustainability reports for stakeholders. Their involvement is essential for ensuring transparent and accurate ESG reporting, thereby bolstering the company's credibility and attractiveness to responsible investors. In summary, sustainability risk management is a crucial aspect of contemporary corporate strategy, addressing the growing impact of ESG factors on business success. Engaging accounting professionals in sustainability risk management is a strategic move that can drive long-term value and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future for businesses and society as a whole.

Objective: This study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of early food intake after cesarean section under spinal anesthesia, addressing the importance of postoperative care and patient comfort. Materials and methods: A descriptive, prospective, single-center study was conducted over one year at the maternity unit of our University Hospital. A total of 157 eligible cesarean section patients under spinal anesthesia were included and divided into two groups based on their preference for resuming food intake before or after the third postoperative hour. Data on the time to resume food intake, recovery of intestinal transit, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and patient satisfaction were collected. Results: Patients who resumed food intake before the third postoperative hour experienced a faster recovery of intestinal transit. No significant difference in PONV incidence was observed between the groups. High patient satisfaction was reported in both groups. Conclusion: Early resumption of food intake after cesarean section under spinal anesthesia enhances intestinal transit without increasing PONV, ensuring patient comfort and postoperative care.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the prevalence of vaginal candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis due to the Gardnerella species and trichomoniasis, and study the associated risk factors among women and adolescents in the city of Yaoundé.Trichomonas vaginalis was identified by searching for a viable trophozoite by spreading leucorrhoea between slide and slide cover in physiological water. Candida species was found by culture on Sabouraud Chloramphenicol agar. Bacterial vaginosis was revealed according to the Thomasson classification. Gardnerella species was identified by Gram stain.The finding were: 52.37% of women had vaginal infections. Bacterial vaginosis had a prevalence of 32.92% and gardnerellosis represented 20.66% of vaginal infections, while candidiasis amounted to 16.66%. 0.79% of women suffered from trichomoniasis. The population most affected by bacterial vaginosis due to Gardnerella species was between 25 and 34 years old (13.49%).. University level women and adolescents girls were more exposed to bacterial vaginosis due to Gardnerella species (15.87%) than high school level women and adolescents girls (3.18% and 2.38% respectively). Further studies on a larger sample of patients are required to further appreciate the epidemiology of vaginal infections.

Inadequate phytosanitary management can cause a significant reduction in the leaf area of soybean, which directly impacts its yield. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of defoliation in the lower, middle and upper leaves of the canopy, at three reproductive stages, on soybean yield, as a tool for improving phytosanitary management. The design was randomized blocks in 3x3+1 factorial scheme, with 4 replicates. The 10 treatments resulted from the combination of 3 defoliation positions on the plant (lower, middle and upper leaves) and 3 phenological stages of the crop (R1, R3 and R5), in addition to a control without defoliation. Morphological and production components and grain yield were evaluated. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and, when a significant difference was identified, the means were subjected to the Dunnett test. It was observed that plants showed a reduction in height in treatments with defoliation in the upper leaves at R1 and R3 stages. For the variables thousand-grain weight and grain yield there was difference only when defoliation was performed at the R5 stage in the upper leaves, resulting in a 16.6% loss in grain yield compared to the control. The soybean crop tolerates a defoliation level of 33.3% up to the R4 stage, in any of the leaves, without significant reduction in grain yield. Upper leaves, from the R5 stage, should be prioritized in the applications of phytosanitary products, which aim to reduce the damage caused by defoliation.

The chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) has potential for cultivation in the Brazilian cerrado region, its sowing supplies both the domestic market and exports, bringing benefits to the economy. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate morphophysiological and yield parameters in six genotypes of chickpeas with different genetic basis, which make it possible to select materials suitable for commercial cultivation under the conditions of the cerrado in the south of the state of Tocantins. Six treatments were used to carry out the experiment, each one characterized by one of the following: BRS Cícero; BRS Aleppo; BRS Khalifa; BRS Cristalino; Jamu 96 and BRS Toro. To define the best genotypes, morphophysiological characteristics of the crop were evaluated, namely: grain yield, weight of a thousand grains, plant height, number of days until flowering, number of days until maturation, chlorophyll a and b index, internal concentration of CO2, photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration. The cultivation of chickpeas in the cerrado is viable for the region. The Jamu 96 genotype stands out among the others, in the main morphophysiological characteristics, being the one that obtained the highest production averages. The genotypes BRS Cícero, BRS Aleppo and BRS Khalifa showed potential for improvement in production, due to their thousand-grain weight being similar to Jamu 96, making evident the need for genetic improvement in order to obtain genotypes more adapted to the soil and climate conditions of southern Brazil. Tocantins, making them more adapted to the region and thus increasing the production potential.

Color in police approaches in the state of Goiás: 2016-2018
Authors: Das Neves Cleuler Barbosa , Matos Gisele Gomes
Published: February 2024

Under the double premise that Brazilian society is racially unequal and that this inequality constitutes vulnerability for those who are subjected to a police approach, a study was carried out to verify if race/color characterizes patterns of the approaches carried out by the PMGO. Therefore, after eliminating the duplicities, 1,300,711 police approaches registered in the RAI of the SSP-GO were analyzed, from April 2016 to April 2018, with variables related to the police action and the person of the individuals approached, such as: nature (types approach), date/time of the incident, place of the incident, sex, color/race, date of birth, marital status and schooling. These data were compared with those of the IBGE in the continuous PNAD, which records the color/race of the inhabitants of the State of Goiás on a quarterly basis. As a result of a descriptive and non-inferential statistical analysis (Chi-Square applied to a non-representative sample), there is a negligence on the part of the military police in filling in the color/race variable in police approaches (98.8% blank), which is not mandatory to record, keeping the race variable in the invisibility field. Of the portion in which color/race was registered (1.18%), there was a 91.3% greater percentage difference in the approach of people from the male, black or brown class in relation to white people; compared to the same proportions observed in the population of the State, in the same period, there is a statistically significant difference in the sample of RAIs collected (15355 approaches; 1.18%) in the years 2016 and 2017, but not for 2018; which cannot be generalized to the entire sample space of RAIs (1,300,711 approaches).
Teaching appropriate conflict resolution methods as an incentive to de-judicialization
Authors: Leão José Bruno Martins
Published: February 2024

The multi-door justice system is an alternative for reducing the number of lawsuits brought before the courts. The so-called crisis of the Judiciary can be alleviated through the use by society of other appropriate methods of conflict resolution, such as negotiation, conciliation, mediation and arbitration. However, in a society characterized by a culture of litigation, the judicialization of social conflicts is also a cultural problem, since citizens commonly only know the judicial route as a mechanism for social pacification. This raises the question of whether ignorance of the multi-door justice system is, in fact, an aggravating factor in the phenomenon of judicialization, so that, contrario sensu, teaching other ways of resolving disputes could be considered a cultural strategy to achieve gradual de-judicialization. Therefore, based on a review of the literature, especially consultations of specialized doctrine and analysis of legal texts, this article presents the theory of conflict and the way in which disputes occur in society, as well as explaining what the so-called multi-door justice system consists of, briefly presenting the appropriate dispute resolution methods that make it up. The aim was also to demonstrate that judicialization is based on a cultural problem, which must be gradually resolved by teaching the techniques for reaching appropriate solutions to the disputes that emerge from social life.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a condition resulting from changes in cartilage or the effect of insulin, resulting in chronic hyperglycemia. In diabetic patients, the presence of COVID-19 increases the rates of serious complications and there is a greater risk of mortality. To analyze the phenotypic characteristics of hospitalizations and mortality rates due to DM in Brazil through epidemiological data and their relationship with COVID-19. This is an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative and retrospective study; carried out with analysis of secondary data on hospitalizations for DM, through the Information Technology Department of the Unified Health System (DataSUS) in the period from 2018 to 2022 in Brazil. Variables of year of service, region, race/color, age group and sex were considered. In the present analysis, there is a greater MT in the Southeast and Northeast regions of Brazil. In terms of gender distribution, the highest prevalence is in males (51.05%), but with lower MT than females (2.69 x 2.84), with the population aged between 50 and over. 80 years old with higher percentages of international and TM. Finally, it is clear that the Brown race required more hospitalizations (41.68%), while the Black race was associated with the highest mortality rates. In the present study, it is possible to analyze that the phenotypic characteristics of diabetic patients influence the mortality prognosis, providing the basis for further research with the aim of analyzing the mechanisms that lead to the epidemiological aspects with greater prevalence of TM.

Published: February 2024

Purpose: The objective of this paper is to discuss the dialectic of a professionalization beyond certification versus a certification-based professionalization, as well as the challenges facing the standard implementation of a VMS as part of a High Level Structure (HLS) certification.
 
Design/methodology/data analysis: We conducted this research using a qualitative method as part of a constructivist epistemological position, resorting intensely to the case method to process relevant data extracted from a sample of twelve companies, while using face-to-face semi-structured interviews to analyse data on a case-by-case basis, then cross-sectionally before announcing the research results.
 
Findings: Based on the twelve companies we have processed, there is a collective need for adopting an implementable VMS as part of HLS certification, whose responsibility must be in charge of the HR process in collaboration with quality.
 
Originality/value: This paper sheds light on the prospective possibility of building and implementing a VMS standard as part of ISO certification.  Noticeably, there are timid efforts made in the process of switching towards the ISO certification of ethical standards under the framework of HLS.
 
Practical implications: We suggest that, in the upcoming years, ISO committees could re-bring to the table ethical discussions upon issuing a certifying standard focusedly axed on a system of management by values.

Published: February 2024

Objective: The issue of sexual violence, particularly child molestation, demands even more intensive and serious attention. This is crucial, given the tendency for child victims to be frequently overlooked by competent institutions within the criminal justice system.
 
Method: To address these issues, the research collects data through interviews, observations, and literature reviews. The study employs legal, case, conceptual, and comparative approaches.
 
Result and Discussion: Data and facts still show that the position of children as a group is vulnerable to becoming victims of violent crimes. The following is data on children as victims of sexual intercourse that occurred in the period 2018 to 2022 in Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara Indonesia. Based on the data, it shows that the number of cases of child sexual violence has fluctuated. It increased drastically in 2019, one year before the corona virus pandemic broke out in Indonesia.
 
Conclusion: Based on the criteria of criminalization, the existing regulatory framework is already in line with and fulfills the need for legal boundaries in society. However, what remains a continuous effort for optimization is consistency in law enforcement.
