Authors: PROSKURA WITOLD STANIS£AW , DYBUS ANDRZEJ , ZABORSKI DANIEL , SOBEK ZBIGNIEW , YU YU-HSIANG , CHENG YEONG-HSIANG
Published: March 2023

The sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP- 1) gene has been indicated to be linked to milk production traits in cattle, especially to milk fat yield and fatty acid composition. The transcription factor encoded by this gene is involved in the regulation of fat metabolism, so it is supposed that the variability of the SREBP-1 gene could influence these traits. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between the 84-bp insertion/deletion polymorphism of the SREBP-1 gene and milk production traits in Jersey cattle. The study found significant associations of the SREBP-1 gene polymorphism with fat content in the first lactation and protein content in the first three lactations analyzed both individually and together. In all cases, the LL genotype was linked to the higher value of the analyzed traits.

The Path to Climate Sustainability: A Review of IPCC 2022
Authors: JAN KOWSER ALI , Asif Ali Rather  , R. Balaji
Published: March 2023

Working Group II of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report focuses on climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability in the context of sustainable development. This IPCC evaluates climate model simulations from CMIP5 and CMIP6 of the World Climate Research Programme. Depending on global warming levels after 2040, climate change will threaten natural and human systems. Mid- and long-term consequences are several times higher for 127 identified major hazards. Climate change is having increasingly dire, interconnected, and often irreversible effects on ecosystems, biodiversity, and human systems, and risk provides a framework for comprehending these effects and for devising strategies to prevent unfavourable outcomes for present and future generations. As climate change implications and actions are enacted, more is known about how they affect justice and socioeconomic advancement. AR6 emphasises change and quick climate action to achieve such goals.

Authors: QUIÑONES INFANTE SERGIO
Published: March 2023

El objeto del presente artículo es analizar y sustentar la importancia crucial que tienen los espacios de cuidado, de manera particular, y la corresponsabilidad entre géneros, de manera más amplia, para alcanzar una efectiva igualdad de oportunidades por razón de género en el mercado de trabajo.

En ese sentido, buscamos que nuestros argumentos sirvan para fomentar que en el ámbito laboral del sector privado se acuerden e implementen medidas que permitan ampliar la actual oferta de espacios de cuidado en favor de los hijos e hijas menores de edad de las y los trabajadores, así como medidas que -en general- promuevan la corresponsabilidad entre géneros y la redistribución de la carga de responsabilidades familiares entre hombres y mujeres.

En definitiva, esperamos contribuir a que el Estado peruano cumpla la meta 8.5 de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible al 2030: empleo pleno, productivo y decente para todas las mujeres y hombres, incluidos jóvenes y personas con discapacidad, así como igualdad de remuneración por trabajo de igual valor.
Energy and Water in the Time of COVID-19
Authors:   National Academy of Science and Technology Philippines, Uriarte Jr. Filemon
Published: March 2023

The paper examines the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting government actions on the energy and water sectors, in particular on energy demand and water usage. The energy sector has been severely affected by the coronavirus pandemic resulting in a decline in global energy demand by 5-10% due to significant reductions in the demand from the commercial, services, and industrial sectors. In the Philippines, energy demand in the Luzon and Visayas grids dropped by 30% and Mindanao grid by about 9.5%. Water, sanitation, and hand hygiene are the first line of defense and are central to preventing the spread of the virus. Consequently, the service providers must ensure the availability of clean water, well-trained and healthy staff, and the protection and operation of equipment, which require continued access to financial resources. Many of the challenges faced by the energy and water sectors caused by the COVID-19 crisis will gradually resolve once the crisis comes to an end and previous levels of economic activity resume. However, energy and water companies have to develop a high degree of flexibility to adjust operations, act quickly to secure supply chains and manage component inventory, implement structural measures to reduce risk, and develop a more mobile workforce that can work virtually and at distance. But while the pandemic may have significant permanent economic effects in the energy sector, it is expected that there will be less pronounced permanent effects on the water sector.
Genre et vie politique en RDC. L’émergence du leadership féminin aux prises avec les logiques de « domination masculine »
Authors: Dieu-merci Aksanti Cirhibuka
Published: March 2023

This paper analyzes the place and role of women in political and social life in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The reflections are based on the postulate according to which the participation of men and women in public life is a necessary condition for both economic growth and social progress. Thus, by extending the debate on the perspectives inherent in the need for effective consideration of women’s assets in decision-making spheres, this article leads to two diametrically opposed trends. The first trend sees female leadership as a threat to the dominant male order. This trend allows representative oppositions to emerge between two irreconcilable roles: social incoherence and the risk for social organization. On the other hand, the second trend maintains that a more balanced representativeness between women and men is essential for better governance of society.
Household welfare perspective of family planning utilization in Uganda
Authors: Phionah Namuliira  , Razack B. Lokina  , Innocent Pantaleo
Published: March 2023

The rationale for FP use has changed over time to progressively emphasize poverty reduction and welfare improvements. However, literature hasn’t largely matched this change. This study, therefore, sought to contribute to this knowledge gap by exploring the impact of FP on household welfare using consumption per adult equivalent as the measure of household welfare. Data from the Uganda National Panel Survey 2018/19 and 2019/20 waves was used, and the analysis was done using pooled ordinary least squares. Results revealed that fewer male headed households and more of the women not using FP were poor as compared to their counterparts. Results also indicated FP use to increase household welfare by 6.4% among all households. This increase is however more significant for rural women. The results thus indicate the potential of using FP to bridge the rural-urban divide.
Lorsque le juge est une femme : une réflexion sur Ĺinfluence du sexe des juges sur le jugement à travers le cas de la succession des femmes au Burundi
Authors: Vénérand Nsengiyumva  , Université Saint-Louis Bruxelles
Published: March 2023

The feminization of the judiciary has aroused various reactions, both from researchers and actors. The former wondered about the influence of the sex of the judges on the way of judging, while the latter worried about a probable bias of female judges regarding the interests of women, especially for family cases opposing men and women. Based on the case of succession in Burundi where cases opposing women to their brothers are submitted to the courts, this article attempts to answer the question of the influence of the gender of judges on the judgment. The data on which the analysis is based consist of 16 interviews with judges and 214 judgements. They were collected during doctoral research between 2018 and 2020 in two Residence Courts in Burundi, namely Mutambu located in rural areas and Kamenge located in urban areas of Bujumbura. The qualitative analysis of the data shows that apart from a few aspects, there is no significant difference between the way of judging male and female judges.

Dementia Risk Prediction in a Longitudinal Geriatric Parkinson’s Disease Cohort: Evaluation and Application of the Montreal Parkinson Risk of Dementia Scale
Authors: Bohn Linzy , McFall G. Peggy , Gee Myrlene , Postuma Ronald B. , Dixon Roger A. , Camicioli Richard
Published: March 2023

Background
Parkinson’s disease (PD) increases risk for dementia and cascading adverse outcomes. The eight-item Montreal Parkinson Risk of Dementia Scale (MoPaRDS) is a rapid, in-office dementia screening tool. We examine predictive validity and other characteristics of the MoPaRDS in a geriatric PD cohort by testing a series of alternative versions and modelling risk score change trajectories.
Methods
Participants were 48 initially non-demented PD patients (Mage = 71.6 years, range = 65–84) from a three-year, three-wave prospective Canadian cohort study. A dementia diagnosis at Wave 3 was used to stratify two baseline groups: PD with Incipient Dementia (PDID) and PD with No Dementia (PDND). We aimed to predict dementia three years prior to diagnosis using baseline data for eight indicators that harmon-ized with the original report, plus education.
Results
Three MoPaRDS items (age, orthostatic hypotension, mild cognitive impairment [MCI]) discriminated the groups both independently and as a composite three-item scale (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.88). The eight-item MoPaRDS reliably discriminated PDID from PDND (AUC = 0.81). Education did not improve predictive validity (AUC = 0.77). Performance of the eight-item MoPaRDS varied across sex (AUCfemales = 0.91; AUCmales = 0.74), whereas the three-item configuration did not (AUCfemales = 0.88; AUCmales = 0.91). Risk scores of both configurations increased over time.
Conclusions
We report new data on the application of the MoPaRDS as a dementia prediction tool for a geriatric PD cohort. Results support the viability of the full MoPaRDS, and indicate that an empirically determined brief version is a promising complement.
Pazifische Passagen
Authors: Borgards Roland , Kugler Lena , Shah Mira
Published: March 2023

Dieses Insularium erzählt eine Kultur-, Literatur- und Wissensgeschichte von Inseln, Menschen, Tieren und Zeit im Möglichkeitsraum des Pazifiks. In achtzehn exemplarischen Inselerkundungen – von der faktualen Isla Juan Fernandez über das historische Formosa und das berühmte Pitcairn bis zur fiktionalen Pip‘s Island – erzählen Roland Borgards, Lena Kugler und Mira Shah eine Geschichte des pazifischen Inselmeers. Zwei Themenbereiche tauchen auf diesen Pazifischen Passagen immer wieder auf: Zum einen liefern die Autor:innen Fragmente der Entstehungsgeschichte der Inselbiogeographie und schlagen gleichzeitig vor, sie zu einer Inselkulturbiogeographie zu erweitern. Zum anderen geht es ihnen um Fragen der Zeitlichkeit und Eigenzeitlichkeit, um die moderne, im 18. Jahrhundert einsetzende Pluralisierung von Zeithorizonten und um die Verflechtung von geologischen und biologischen Temporalitäten, von Natur- und Kulturzeiten. Dabei teilt ihr Insularium des Großen Ozeans mit seinem Namensvetter, dem barocken Genre der Insularien, sowohl den Gestus eines unsystematischen, nicht an Vollständigkeit orientierten Sammelns als auch seine grundlegende Doppelperspektive: auf das Wissen und auf das Erzählen.
Alfred Rothstein (1892-1960)
Authors: Schulz Thilo
Published: March 2023

Thilo Schulz erzählt die ungewöhnliche Lebensgeschichte eines Außenseiters, der versuchte, einen Modus Vivendi mit dem NS-Regime zu finden, und daran scheiterte. Alfred Rothstein stammte aus einer jüdischen Familie in Danzig. Der gelernte Textilkaufmann ließ sich während seines Wehrdienstes ab 1913 zusätzlich zum Militärmusiker ausbilden. Nach dem Scheitern seiner ersten Ehe ging er – zu Beginn der Weltwirtschaftskrise 1929 – nach Hamburg. Hier konnte er beruflich jedoch nicht Fuß fassen. Zusammen mit seiner zweiten Frau und dem Sohn Harry aus erster Ehe lebte er beständig in prekären Verhältnissen. Die Lage verschärfte sich mit der Machtübernahme der Nationalsozialisten. Bereits 1933 ließ Alfred Rothstein selbst seinen Sohn in ein Erziehungsheim einweisen, da das Kind als »schwer erziehbar« galt. Harry traf in der Folgezeit die volle Härte des NS-Regimes: Er wurde als »Mischling« drangsaliert und geriet als »schwachsinnig« stigmatisiertes Kind in die Mühlen der nationalsozialistischen Wohlfahrts- und »Erbgesundheitspolitik«. Alfred Rothstein hatte bereits am Ersten Weltkrieg teilgenommen und meldete sich 1939 freiwillig zur Wehrmacht. Seiner Beteuerung, er sei »Mischling ersten Grades«, wurde zunächst Glauben geschenkt, und er nahm an vorderster Front am Frankreichfeldzug teil. Letztlich aber bewahrte ihn dies nicht vor der Deportation in das Ghetto Theresienstadt. Er überlebte, kehrte nach Hamburg zurück, ohne jemals wieder arbeiten zu können, heiratete erneut und starb 1961.
The Pangenome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Published: March 2023

This review summarizes the most important reports about Pseudomonas aeruginosa pangenome. Pan-genomics has tackled some fundamental concerns in pathogenic bacteria. PATRIC and other databases, store more than 9000 P. aeruginosa genomes. This data mining is an opportunity to develop discoveries related to antibiotic resistance, virulence, pathogenicity, fitness, and evolution, among others. Observing the different pangenomes of P. aeruginosa, it is concluded that this species has an open pangenome, and its accessory genome is larger than the central genome. HGT is one important source for P. aeruginosa genome. In recent years various authors developed P. aeruginosa pangenomes, from works with five genomes to more than 1300 genomes. This last work analyzed 54,272 genes, and they found a short and tiny core genome (only 665 genes). Other research with lesser strains or genomes identified a core genome bigger, almost 20% of the pangenome. Nevertheless, the total work proves that the accessory plus unique genome is larger than the core genome in P. aeruginosa.
Obstacles in the Nursing Training Programs
Authors: Oupa Mbombi Masenyani , Dimakatso Ophilia Moila , Adelaide Bopape Mamare , Muthelo Livhuwani
Published: March 2023

The chapter aims to discuss obstacles that affect the successful implementation of nursing training programs from learner nurses’ perspectives. The scope of the obstacles is limited to the clinical and classroom settings, where the nursing curriculum is implemented, and therefore the chapter will discuss obstacles to the nursing training program in hospitals/clinics and educational institutions. The chapter is a summary of a quantitative cross-sectional research study that collected data from all 190 learner nurses. Learner nurses were sampled with a stratified random sampling, which resulted in 129 samples of learner nurses. An electronic self-designed questionnaire written in English was sent to learner nurses via their university students’ email to complete it. Descriptive statistics were utilized to describe the frequency of learner nurses regarding the R425 program curriculum review. The source of information, in this chapter, is the research finding obtained from learner nurses, using a quantitative research approach and literature, which highlight that the success of health education could be observed when barriers to nursing program implementation have been eliminated. The chapter provides learning opportunities to program designers and leaders of the educational and healthcare facilities where the nursing training programs are implemented.

Authors: Desalegn Mekonnen Guyasa , Negassa Golga Dawit
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study was to explore teachers’ ethical professional practices in the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences in Haramaya University. Instrumental case study design was employed because such design is used when the researcher focuses on one case to understand other similar cases. Fifteen, information-rich study participants were selected purposively. In-depth interviews, FGD, and document analyses were used for collecting data. Data were analyzed thematically. The study revealed that ethical professional practices of teachers are important for upholding respect and prestige in the teaching profession. Despite this, however, the ethical professional practices in the College were deteriorating and deserve attention. The study showed particularly that many unethical professional practices of teachers were exhibited in the college such as lack of transparency in relation to the assessment of students’ achievements, coming late and absence from class, threatening students for the teacher’s own fault, lack of communication with students, and ignoring students’ problems. It is concluded that the status of ethical professional practices in the College deserves close attention. It is recommended that there should be close supervision, professional support, and training on ethical professional practice by the College and other concerned entities of the university.
Role of the Family in Fostering Student’s Entrepreneurial Intention
Authors: Rose Meroka Moindi
Published: March 2023

Entrepreneurship has been viewed as solution to the global unemployment challenges facing youths. It is on this backdrop that this field has drawn the attention of most governments to see to it that their youths have necessary entrepreneurial competencies through the introduction of entrepreneurship education in the school curriculum. However, majority of the youths are still unemployed. The theory of planned behaviour identifies three antecedents which focus on the student that influence their entrepreneurial intention. The objective of the study was identifying aspects of the family (family background, family role modelling, birth order and financial literacy) that influence the student’s entrepreneurial intention. The study adopted a qualitative analysis of different studies which addressed the different sources entrepreneurial intention among students. The study established that aspects of the family that fostered student’s entrepreneurial intention included family entrepreneurial background, role modelling, birth order and financial literacy. These aspects place the students a notch higher in entrepreneurship education. This information would guide policy makers in developing appropriate educational curriculum in line with the needs of the students and will add knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship education.
A Review on the Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Management of COVID-19 Disease in South African Children in Comparison to the World
Authors: Emily Binyane Moleboheng , Hildah Mfengwana Polo-Ma-Abiele
Published: March 2023

The first case of coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) in South Africa (SA) was first reported at the beginning of March 2022, and then further spread from Gauteng, Western Cape, and KwaZulu Natal to the rest of the provinces. It is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. In SA, COVID-19 is less prevalent in children less than 18 years. Only a few studies describe the epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical manifestation of COVID-19 among children in SA in comparison to other countries including China, North America, and Europe. South African children are affected by conditions including poverty, tuberculosis, and human immunodeficiency virus which predispose them to COVID-19. Overcrowding and limited healthcare facilities and resources also complicated the diagnosis and clinical and pharmacological management of COVID-19 in SA. The current review discusses the prevalence, risk factors, and management of COVID-19 in South African children in comparison to other continents in the world.
New Age of Common Bean
Authors: Vidak Monika , Lazarević Boris , Gunjača Jerko , Carović-Stanko Klaudija
Published: March 2023

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a plant with high nutritional value that occupies an important place in human nutrition worldwide. Its yields vary widely and are often below the genetic potential of the species, given the diversity of cropping systems and climatic changes. Common bean landraces are a source of great genetic variability and provide excellent material for the selection and improvement of numerous agronomic traits and the creation of modern cultivars. It is also important to use high quality seed of high-yielding cultivars in production, because in common bean, in addition to yield and resistance to abiotic and biotic stress factors, traits such as nutritional value and digestibility are also the focus of interest. The success of common bean production depends to a large extent on the quality of the seed, the production approach and new breeding programs.
Study of Approaches to Predict Personality Using Digital Twin
Authors: Tandon Vrinda , Mehra Ritika
Published: March 2023

With a growing proportion of online activities on social networking sites on different mediums like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn the requirement for personality prediction associated with this online mediated behavior has also increased significantly. The user generated content on social media can be effectively leveraged to record, analyze and predict personality through different psychological approaches like MBTI, Big Five, and DISC. Predicting personality has displayed an intrinsic influence in multifarious domains like career choice, political influence, brand inclination, customized advertising, improvising learning outcomes, recommender system algorithms and so on. The objective of this paper is to stipulate an overview of different strategies used by researchers to predict personality based on the social media usage and user generated content across prominent social media platforms. It was observed that the personality traits can be accurately inferred from user behavior reflected on social media through attributes like status posted, pictures uploaded, number of friends, groups joined, network density, liked content. As of now, Facebook followed by Twitter are the most prominent social media platforms for conducting the study however, the use other social media platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn are expected to increase exponentially for carrying out personality prediction study.
Innovative Family Therapy for Households in Global Complex Humanitarian Crises
Authors: Olatundun Ilesanmi Oluwatoyin , Ibitoyosi Ilesanmi Faith , Hajji Raouf
Published: March 2023

The relief societies are diverse and consist of humanitarian organizations and humanitarian NGOs. They provide emergency aid interventions to victims of armed conflicts, protracted wars, famines, and natural disasters across the globe. The relief societies have witnessed multiple arrays of complex humanitarian catastrophes affecting families in varying degrees in a global dimension and impact. These societies have been providing lifesaving assistance and protection for victims of war, orphans, and vulnerable groups. They have been reducing the impact of humanitarian crises on families and communities, providing aid for recovery and improving preparedness for future emergencies for moral, altruistic, and emotional reasons. Crisis-impacted families may be located far from the fragile locale or in the eye of the storm. Their losses may be psychosocial, economic, or psychological distress or mental health issues. At the onset of the Russian–Ukrainian War, families across the global community are already counting their losses. These call for novel therapeutic interventions among clinicians and counseling psychotherapists. This chapter, therefore, highlights existing strategies for innovative therapeutic measures for families affected by complex humanitarian emergencies.
Perspective Chapter: Testing the Interoccurrence Times Probability Distributions of Earthquakes
Authors: Salazar Walter
Published: March 2023

This chapter aims to provide a methodology to test the probability distributions of earthquakes in terms of the interoccurrence times (ITs), namely, the time between consecutive earthquakes of a specific magnitude. First, we compile a new earthquake catalog for the El Salvador subduction zone within moment magnitude M 5.0–8.12 comprising historical and instrumental data for 1609–2019. Secondly, we explain the fundamentals of the Weibull and Poisson distributions and verify the IT probability fits when considering the clustered catalog. We find that the Weibull distribution fits all ITs, while the Poisson distribution fails to explain the natural seismicity patterns for small magnitude bins. Besides, we test the assumption that the declustering process leads to a Poisson probability distribution when removing foreshocks and aftershocks in the earthquake catalog. Finally, the classical Gutenberg–Richter relationship and conditional magnitude probabilities are calculated as an essential input in any seismic hazard assessment.
Moje večery : vzpomínky Ljudmily Ivanovny, tetičky ruské hudby
Authors: Dupalová Zuzana
Published: March 2023

Lyudmila Ivanovna Shestakova, the younger sister of composer Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka, is an almost forgotten figure of 19th century Russian musical culture. She was undoubtedly very important person in Glinka's life, and after his death she tied her name to the care of his legacy. Her fate was intertwined with that of many contemporary representatives of the St Petersburg cultural scene, including members of the so-called Mighty Handful. She wrote a memoir of her acquaintances under the title My Evenings (Moi Vechera), which provides quite an exceptional look at the Russian Five, especially from a personal perspective and her friendship with them. Some of these recollections may shed new light on research into the New Russian School.
Muzealizace hudebních nástrojů a její teoretické reflexe od 19. století do současnosti
Authors: Zapletal Miloš
Published: March 2023

Two dominant lines can be recognized in the music-museological thought from the end of the 18th century to the present day. Each of these two lines relates to the musealization of one of the two fundamental types of "musical things", as well as to the respective types of music-museal institutions. The first line has reflected the musealization of musicalia as musical texts (i.e. textual records of music, texts about music, and texts otherwise connected with the existence of music). In this study, however, we deal with the second line of music-museological thought, the one that reflects musical instruments. The collecting and musealization of musical instruments are old and universal phenomena, which took on the specific form of musical instrument museums in the course of the 19th century. These institutions then became the centres of nascent organology. As an auxiliary science of organology, this intellectual line has been actively developing, and from a quantitative point of view, it represents the main area of music-museological thought.

Authors: Burakov Jurìj Vasyl'ovyč , Pytl'ovana Lìlìja
Published: March 2023

The Russian-Ukrainian war gave a powerful impetus to the expansion of military-historical museum studies in Ukraine. Exhibition sections devoted to this war have become an integral part of most local history museums in the country. However, in these circumstances, the military museums of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are undergoing the greatest reformation. In the process of enhancing their permanent exhibition, the historical aspects of the resistance to Russia's armed aggression and the promotion of the heroism of Ukrainian soldiers has become acutely important and must be integrated within the larger context of Ukrainian military history.

Buying Native Sovereignty
Authors: Helleloid Duane ,   Neilson Journals Publishing
Published: March 2023

For centuries, outside business organizations have sought to enter into business relationships with indigenous populations, often benefitting both parties. However, the power imbalance that foreign settlers had over indigenous peoples often led to exploitative relationships whereby the indigenous people were marginalized and at times treated inhumanely. While the nature of trade and relationships has changed over time, the special status that native tribes enjoy in U.S.A. continues to attract attention from business enterprises. In the past few years, various organizations have found it advantageous to their business interests to engage in transactions with Native American tribes. Three specific examples are described: Allergan transferred patent rights to a tribe to circumvent a U.S. patent review panel; Tesla opened a store and service center on native land in New Mexico to get around the state’s dealership laws; and Lume Cannabis Co. opened retail stores on native lands in Michigan near communities that had decided to not license recreational cannabis stores. All three examples raise questions over the ethics of buying access to native sovereignty. Students are asked to apply ethical theories to try and identify what distinguishes ethical and unethical transactions.

Authors: Abdullah Wasilah , Siswantoro Dodik , Nurhayati Sri , Violita Evony Silvino ,   Neilson Journals Publishing
Published: March 2023

The curricula of the undergraduate study programs on Zakat and Waqf management in Indonesia are still in their early stages of development. In this research, we aim to evaluate these curricula using a competency-based approach towards several study programs. Specifically, we compare the needs of Zakat and Waqf management with the curricula of undergraduate study programs in Indonesian universities. To fulfil our objective, we conduct several interviews with the program heads and practitioners. We also propose a particular curriculum for the study programs on Zakat and Waqf management. For this purpose, we apply a comparative research method and engage in qualitative research. Our results show that some competencies are not accommodated in the current curricula to meet the expectations of the Zakat and Waqf management. Therefore, we argue that it is important to change these curricula content to achieve the expected competencies.
The Ethical Guardrails Model: A Tool for Understanding and Reducing Ethical Mistakes
Authors: Reinsch N. L. , Pauwels Vanda , Neff Clyde D. ,   Neilson Journals Publishing
Published: March 2023

We build on the work of Moore and Gino (2015) and of Rest (1983, 1986) to develop the Ethical Guardrails Model (EGM). The EGM shows students how personal behaviors, relationships, and habits can help them to avoid ethical mistakes in the workplace. The EGM illustrates the components of ethical business behavior, incorporates a new deliberative component, specifies five ways in which ethical behavior may become derailed, and describes practices that can help a person to avoid derailment. We also describe our use of the EGM in the business ethics classroom, an experience that has changed our approach to teaching business ethics.

Published: March 2023

With the increasing diversity in the use of electrical energy and the inclusion of renewable electricity power plants in the system, more efficient and more controllable electrical power systems are provided by smart grid technologies. Load balance based on pricing in electrical power systems; It is a strategy that takes into account customer demands, enables customers to use electrical energy at the most attractive price, and provides suppliers with the desired profit, that is, in summary, it coordinates the efficient operation of energy systems. In this study; While load balance is created with smart grid technology, demand-supply-price balance is achieved by using an optimum Fuzzy Logic PI controller within a closed-loop electric power control system model. Within the scope of the study, the simulation results obtained by applying 6 different demand scenarios to the power system model consisting of different types of generation resources were given graphically and analyzed. The different demand scenarios applied include difficult demand conditions such as possible sudden increase or decreases in demand in the electrical power system.

The Contributions of Knowledge Management to the Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Costa Daniela , Pais Leonor , Nogueira Ramos Paulo
Published: March 2023

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the contributions of knowledge management to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A systematic literature review was carried out using the keywords “Knowledge Management” in the title and “Sustainable Development Goals” throughout the text on the B-On database. Design/methodology/approach: A literature review was conducted in this study. In total, 31 articles were analyzed, most from developing countries. Just 11 of them were focused on only one goal. This was done by resorting to the PRISMA protocol and adapting the GRADE protocol. Findings: The results show little investigation on knowledge management for sustainable development goals. However, there is an agreement among authors that knowledge management is essential for the present 2030 Agenda. It is necessary to invest in knowledge management in developing countries for them to make progress toward the SDGs. Research limitations/implications: Only one database was used, Knowledge Management was identified as a global construct, and the resort to the expression “Sustainable Development Goals” can have a narrowing effect on the results. Future research may focus on the knowledge management processes or surveying each Sustainable Development Goal. Practical implications: In this study, the contributions of knowledge management for poverty eradication, quality of health, drinkable water and sanitation, decent work and economic growth, industry, infrastructure and innovation, and action for climate change are clear, which can be a starting point for future research and to intervene in this field. Originality/value: As for originality, it is the first systematic literature review on knowledge management's contributions to achieving sustainable development goals within the United Nations 2030 Agenda framework. As for the value, which also stems from its originality, emphasis is placed on the possibility of making decisions based on evidence, in theoretical and practical terms, considering the results obtained. Keywords: Knowledge Management, Sustainability, Sustainable Development Goals, 2030 Agenda, Systematic literature review.

Purpose: The present study (of exploratory nature) aims to understand the importance of endomarketing in organizations and whether internal strategies are essential in human capital management. The study context is the Minho Urban Quadrilateral (i.e. Braga, Barcelos, Guimarães and Vila Nova de Famalicão). Methodology: In a first phase, a documental analysis is exposed in order to delimit the object of study, and later, the general results are presented based on the interviews carried out to professionals and specialists of the Human Resources sector, being present a methodology of qualitative nature. Findings: Based on the literature review and the interviews conducted, it can be concluded that organizations consider that the implementation of endomarketing tools are very important and capable of generating mutual benefits between the employer and the worker. In this sense, they assume that it is a strategic and reinforcing resource for building mutual relationships, and capable of fostering a harmonious organizational climate. Research implications: From a theoretical perspective, the study contributes to the development of knowledge in matters of endomarketing and the management of people (human capital). Originality: The study presents preliminary insights that can be an auxiliary tool for HR managers and professionals working in the four cities of the Quadrilateral (Braga, Barcelos, Guimarães and Vila Nova de Famalicão). In an interdisciplinary perspective, the study contributes to the joint development of the areas of endomarketing (e.g. understanding the vision of organizations) and also allows establishing future guidelines for these areas of action. Keywords: endomarketing, human capital, strategic management, organizations, Minho urban quadrilateral

Published: March 2023

A obra de Lygia Fagundes Telles (1923-2022) é o objeto principal de estudos deste artigo, que propõe uma introdução ao conjunto dos contos da escritora paulistana, amparada na leitura de sua fortuna crítica e no conhecimento de sua larga produção literária, que inclui também romance, memória, crônica e correspondência. A arte narrativa da dama das letras brasileiras é aqui apresentada por meio de exemplos extraídos de sua publicação mais recente, Os contos (2018), antologia organizada por ela. O intuito é ressaltar a sua importância e atualidade no cenário do conto brasileiro de autoria feminina, destacando seu diálogo com mestres contistas do passado e suas projeções na literatura brasileira contemporânea. Este estudo faz parte de uma pesquisa sobre a obra de Lygia Fagundes Telles, inter-relacionada à análise de sua correspondência literária, e faz uma homenagem à vida e à obra dessa grande escritora, que, em 2023, celebraria seu centenário. Sua atuação cultural se revela muito mais ampla aos estudiosos que utilizam as diversas chaves interpretativas que a autora oferece aos que se dedicam a lê-la com afinco, de modo a estabelecer vínculos com uma legião de ficcionistas que propõem, a um só tempo, a renovação e a retomada desse legado.
“O pessoal é político”
Authors: Valle Luisa Benevides
Published: March 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre as implicações dos movimentos feministas para o descentramento do sujeito pós-moderno. Partindo da noção de sujeito vigente na Modernidade, isto é, de um Homem racional, único e situado no centro do conhecimento, analisaremos o abalo dessa noção na Pós-modernidade a partir dos movimentos feministas. Nosso recorte será o slogan feminista “o pessoal é político”: ao trazer a público questões até então confinadas ao privado, como o cuidado com os filhos ou a divisão doméstica do trabalho, tal noção abalou fortemente a ideia moderna de um sujeito inquestionável, senhor de si mesmo e detentor do conhecimento. O pessoal também adentrou a academia a partir da produção das intelectuais negras. Ao construírem teorias fundamentadas em questões pessoais, situando a si mesmas enquanto sujeito e objeto de estudo, tais intelectuais provocaram grande descentramento na figura que, até então, estava no centro do conhecimento: o homem, europeu e branco. Por intermédio desse breve percurso, nossa hipótese é a de que os movimentos feministas abalaram fortemente as noções de “público” e “privado” na Pós-modernidade, o que contribuiu para o descentramento do sujeito nos dias de hoje.

تهدف الدراسة إلى استكشاف الآثار الاجتماعية والاقتصادية لهجرة الزوج على المرأة اليمنية وتشكيل أدوارها في الأسرة والمجتمع. تعتمد الدراسة على منهج المسح الاجتماعي وتطبيقه على عينة من النساء في المناطق الريفية اليمنية. تشير النتائج إلى أن هجرة الزوج تؤثر بشكل كبير على المرأة من حيث زيادة أعبائها الأسرية والزراعية. تلعب المرأة دورًا محوريًا في تربية الأبناء وإدارة شؤون الأسرة في غياب الزوج. أظهرت الدراسة أن التحويلات المالية من الزوج المهاجر تساهم في تحسين المستوى المعيشي للأسرة ولكنها تزيد من الاعتماد على المرأة في تحمل المسؤوليات المنزلية والزراعية. كما كشفت الدراسة عن تأثيرات سلبية تتمثل في تغيير القيم والمفاهيم الاجتماعية بسبب غياب الزوج لفترات طويلة. وأوصت الدراسة بضرورة تقديم الدعم اللازم للمرأة الريفية لتحمل الأعباء الناتجة عن هجرة الزوج والعمل على تعزيز مكانتها في المجتمع من خلال برامج التوعية والتدريب المهني.

В статье показано, что моделирование лингвопсихологического портрета (типажа) экстремиста возможно на основе текстов: как тех, которые подозреваемый в экстремизме распространяет с целью вербовки сторонников, так и его высказываний в процессе допросов и судебных разбирательств. Как правило, это поликодовые тексты, в которых присутствует целый ряд знаковых систем – музыка, видеоряд, символы, вербальные единицы и т.д. На основе данных текстов нами предпринята попытка создать модель лингвопсихологического портрета экстремиста. Ключевые слова: юрислингвистика, лингвистическая экспертология, экстремизм, лингвопсихологический портрет, поликодовый текст.
