Revolution 2.0: Deciphering a cross-national newspaper discourse
Authors: Merle Patrick , El-Khoury Jessica , Rahimi Mehrnaz
Published: May 2023

In 2011, civil unrest erupted in Egypt quickly gaining a popular momentum that further led to the demise of President Hosni Mubarak. While certain media initially described the revolt as a Facebook revolution, this study specifically evaluated whether three distinct newspapers of record may have contributed to promulgating such a description. A content analysis of news articles (N = 869) published in The New York Times, The Guardian, and Daily News Egypt revealed that in fact the revolution was rarely attributed to social media and that newspapers varied in their tone of the coverage with Daily Egypt being more neutral. This study suggests that social media facilitated and accelerated the 2011 upheavals.
The Parable of the Working [Class] Man: Strategic Tensions in Gendered Discourses of Striking Workers, 1950
Authors: Coleman Catherine A. , Tisdale John R.
Published: May 2023

The post-War American advertising landscape was filled with the consumer legacies of wartime technologies, and re-positioned consumption within the “national interest” mindset the war emergency had produced. This new mindset would involve a vision of business and enterprise that had people “pursuing individualistic goals to secure a larger prosperity for the nation” (Cohen, 2003, p. 101). Within this developing post-war context, and strongly driven by economic and political motivations, The Texas Company took out full-page ads in the newspaper of Port Arthur, Texas—where workers at their largest plant were on strike—to deter workers from participating in the ongoing strike with messages promoting an ethic of individualistic, noncollective goals. Coupled with gendered “slice of life” messages that have the façade of gender role depictions typical of the era, these ads attacked the strike not as it would affect the work space but rather from within the home, presenting an image of striking workers as infantile, unsophisticated, and, effectively, emasculated. These ads present the Parable of the Working [Class] Man, a moral lesson presented in the guise of everyday life (Marchand, 1985). The Parable of the Working [Class] Man relied heavily on gendered notions of home and work spaces to subvert expectations and, thereby, to present the strike as antithetical to the moral character of the working man.
Would You Say The Process Was Contentious or Smooth Sailing? Administrators’ Views On Revising The Mass Communication Curriculum
Authors: Senroe Jim , Lewis Mitzi
Published: May 2023

This study seeks to build upon our earlier investigation of how mass communication programs across the country are altering their curricula in order to accommodate the major changes in our field brought on by the Internet. While our earlier study looked at how degree plans are changing and what educators in the field think is important, this study again examines the how and the what, but expands to include: What has been your biggest challenge regarding your program’s curriculum? How have you deal with that challenge? Why did you make the changes you made? Beyond that, what philosophical beliefs underlie the changes? We also look at how the process played out: smooth sailing, a few minor skirmishes or downright contentious.
“The Front Page of the Internet”: Safe Spaces and Hyperpersonal Communication among Females in an Online Community
Authors: Workman Hallie , Coleman Catherine A.
Published: May 2023

The social content sharing site, Reddit.com, has seen an increase in both popularity and criticism recently. Within this larger website, smaller communities exist which cater to specific interests and groups. One of these communities is TwoXChromosomes (or 2X), a “subreddit” for women to share information and experiences with other like-minded women. Through a voluntary online survey and four-week-long online ethnography, this research found that, like other online communities, 2X fulfills a specific need for the members and contributors. Among other things, 2X fulfills the need for a safe place (when many places on the Internet are not considered to be as welcoming to girls and women), and it provides information and camaraderie that community members feel they cannot find in their offline lives for any variety of reasons. Public relations and communication professionals working for nonprofits and other women-centered organization can use this information to find out what women are talking about, what areas they are asking for advice in, and use this information to inform their strategic communication efforts.
Band of Brothers (And Sisters): Gender Framing in U.S. Army Commercial Advertising
Authors: Speck Holly
Published: May 2023

The U.S. Army spends over 7 billion dollars in recruitment advertising, with its largest percentages going toward television marketing. However, little research has been dedicated to military advertising besides strategic recommendations. This project offers a critical investigation on the depiction of gender in military advertising. A content analysis on a sample of U.S. Army commercials produced between 2008 and 2018 offers an exploratory discussion on how gender is visually and verbally framed within the Army’s advertising.
Activist Journalism: The Chicago Defender’s Coverage of the 1968 Democratic National Convention
Authors: Anderson Scott , Smith Jonathan M.
Published: May 2023

This paper analyzes the discourse surrounding the protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention from the black journalistic perspective. Examination of articles published in the Chicago Defender surrounding the protests reveals that the flagship black daily newspaper helped African Americans establish an activist presence at a moment when the mainstream press excluded them from the narrative. In the midst of a propaganda war being waged among media members, radical protesters, and politicians, the Defender offered a unique perspective on the chaos that engulfed the convention by highlighting the activity of African Americans, using journalism to comment on the black cultural experience and struggle for equality in 1968, and ultimately attempting to raise awareness and reframe the national conversation on police violence.
"Story of My Life"
Authors: Julia Jameson
Published: May 2023

Despite the boyband’s years-long hiatus, fans of One Direction (1D) continued actively engaging in fan activities. An online survey, which gathered 2,831 total responses, sought to explore fans’ motivations for participating in early 2020, more than four years after the hiatus began. The top four activities fans had recently spent the most time participating in were the following: listening to 1D music, supporting members’ solo careers, reading 1D fan fiction, and rewatching videos of/about 1D. Across activities, fans often participated because of missing the band, to feel like the band was still together, to feel closer to the band, to remember other times, and because the band had made lifelong impacts.
Pandemic’s First Draft
Authors: Wilson Bradley
Published: May 2023

Scholastic media advisers faced unique challenges during the pandemic. Almost immediately, schools were shut down and students were blocked from access to files necessary to complete the yearbook or to create a newspaper. Along the way, teachers were forced to provide instruction online. At some schools, instructors were threatened with termination if they accessed their classroom. Others were told that the yearbook—the only official record of school history from a student perspective—wasn’t a priority. But through it all, many student media operations continued, often moving online but still meeting deadlines and providing the first draft of history from a student perspective. According to a survey of 237 scholastic media advisers, some school newspapers and other media even published more often during the pandemic than they had before. Still, advisers said there was one thing they wished they had—a better plan.
panorama dos cursos de graduação no Brasil anterior à Lei de reserva de vagas: as matrículas de estudantes da educação especial
Authors: Rocha Luiz Renato Martins , Lacerda Cristina Broglia Feitosa de , Lizzi Elisângela Aparecida da Silva
Published: May 2023

A presente pesquisa objetiva descrever os estudantes público-alvo da educação especial (PAEE) na educação superior brasileira antes da Lei de Reserva de vagas, que é de 2016, traçando um perfil e inaugurando uma forma pormenorizada de análise, que pode ser o ponto inicial para futuras pesquisas comparativas envolvendo séries históricas. A fim de alcançar os objetivos delineados para a presente pesquisa, utilizamos uma abordagem quanti-qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória. Com os resultados encontrados, foi possível verificar que, em sua maioria, as matrículas de estudantes PAEE, proporcionalmente, seguem as mesmas tendências das matrículas dos estudantes no geral nos cursos de graduação, exceto no tocante ao turno acadêmico. Quando analisados os dados por estados e regiões, as diferenças se sobressaem, mais do que quando a análise é realizada nacionalmente, ou seja, quanto mais micro a análise, mais diferenças em relação à média nacional encontramos. Esperamos que a presente pesquisa possa subsidiar avaliações futuras sobre o PAEE na educação superior e, com isso, embasar políticas públicas para a efetivação do ingresso e permanência desse público nesse nível de ensino.
Discricionariedade e políticas de difusão da Libras no ensino superior federal
Authors: Correia Aline , Azevedo Adalberto Mantovani Martiniano de
Published: May 2023

A decisão do agente de linha de frente sobre quando se adequar às regras do Estado ou quando rompê-las em função de percepções sobre os indivíduos atendidos, pode ser compreendida como uma prática discricionária que influencia os resultados da política pública, indicando a importância de investigar tal fenômeno em ações realizadas na prestação de serviços públicos. No presente artigo, buscamos analisar percepções e julgamentos desses agentes ao fixar as identidades dos usuários, as identidades profissionais entre os agentes e as formas de atendimento na implementação da política de utilização da Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) em uma instituição federal de ensino superior, com base no referencial teórico sobre agentes de linha de frente (Street-level bureaucrats). Por meio da análise de documentos, observação participante e entrevistas individuais, identificamos categorias e atributos que caracterizam o atendimento aos usuários, percebendo que a discricionariedade dos agentes tende a tornar a política mais inclusiva frente aos regulamentos sobre acessibilidade linguística.
O corpo-guerrilheiro no corpo-nação: contaminação e abjeção em Herbert Daniel
Authors: Alós Anselmo Peres
Published: May 2023

O que pretendo aqui é discutir e analisar o romance brasileiro Meu corpo daria um romance, escrito por Herbert Daniel (cuja extensa produção literária vem sendo solene e sistematicamente ignorada pelos estudos no campo da literatura brasileira) e publicado pela primeira vez em 1984. O foco da discussão é compreender como Daniel promove a articulação retórica entre corpo, desejo e revolução como conceitos fundamentais para uma visão emancipatória da sexualidade (em especial da homossexualidade masculina) no contexto de luta e resistência à ditadura brasileira ao longo do final do século XX. Há uma inegável dimensão cultural, discursiva (e até mesmo linguística) na composição da materialidade do corpo, e Herbert Daniel não está alheio a esse dado. Entretanto, cumpre ressaltar que dizer que a realidade humana só pode ser compreendida pela mediação da linguagem não implica negar, suspender ou não reconhecer a materialidade e a concretude do corpo como realidade vivida, como carnalidade. Seguindo aqui os argumentos de Elizabeth Grosz em Volatile bodies (1994), podemos pensar que, para Herbert Daniel, a compreensão do corpo se dá como algo concomitantemente imanente e transcendente. As representações do corpo através do discurso literário (bem como em outras modalidades artísticas) podem ser vistas como índice dos processos de transformação histórica, na medida em que inscrevem de maneira dialética as relações de subjetividade/objetividade e os processos de opressão, subordinação e subversão cultural. A literatura, particularmente, configurou-se ao longo da história ocidental como campo simbólico assombrado pela presença do corpo, tanto em termos de reiteração (mímesis) quanto em termos de subversão (rupturas de viés performativo).
Os bárbaros entre nós: sobre os fundamentos da representação da violência na narrativa brasileira
Authors: Da Silva Julio Cezar Bastoni
Published: May 2023

As desigualdades sociais brasileiras, forjadas pela colonização e com continuidade na nação independente, parecem ser representadas, em nossa narrativa, na forma de um imaginário cindido entre civilização e barbárie. Tais termos, próprios à antiga reflexão sobre a modernização, permanecem como uma possível via de tratamento do tema da violência enquanto aspecto localizável e mesmo apanágio da alteridade barbarizada, identificada em especial às classes populares. O artigo pretende, por meio de comentários sobre algumas obras centrais de nossa tradição literária, buscar e refletir sobre recorrências formais e aspectos que possam, ainda hoje, ser fundadores da representação da violência na narrativa brasileira.
Violência contra crianças na ficção brasileira e estrangeira: uma análise comparativa
Authors: Martins Milena Ribeiro
Published: May 2023

Análise do conto “Negrinha”, de Monteiro Lobato, aproximando-o dos contos “Olhos mortos de sono” de Tchekhov e “The child-who-was-tired” de Katherine Mansfield. Além do gênero das narrativas, aproximam-nas a representação da violência contra crianças, da fantasia como definidora da infância e do ingresso de crianças em situações de trabalho. Partindo da análise de Bignotto (1999), procura-se aproximar o conto de Lobato dos outros escritores, que encontraram soluções extremas para a representação ficcional de infância, violência e fantasia. As diferenças entre tais contos parecem-nos significativas para compreender a problemática da infância na cultura brasileira num momento de transformação social.
Heranças machadianas e atualização da violência no filme "Quanto vale ou é por quilo?", de Sérgio Bianchi
Authors: Kobs Verônica Daniel
Published: May 2023

Este trabalho analisa Quanto vale ou é por quilo?, de Sérgio Bianchi, como adaptação cinematográfica do conto “Pai contra mãe”, de Machado de Assis. Focalizando a violência, o artigo aborda a escravidão e o modo como ela é mostrada nos dois textos. Além disso, o favor, instrumento de poder e dominação, é apresentado como um tipo de violência, perpetuando a hierarquia social . Com base nesses aspectos, e nos estudos de Stuart Hall, Roberto Schwarz, Norbert Elias, entre outros, o filme também é associado a outros textos machadianos, para consolidar o conflito de classes e o individualismo.
A violência e representação do feminino no conto "A caligrafia de Deus", de Márcio Souza
Authors: Leão Allison Marcos Leao da , Cardoso Mariana Vieira
Published: May 2023

As relações de opressão estão intimamente ligadas a diferenças que começam na fisionomia dos corpos e eclodem em violentas imposições de poder. Tradicionalmente, o pensamento sociocultural do patriarcalismo foi propagado na esfera política e estética, instituindo um ethos de violência e exclusão da mulher. Este silenciamento e opressão se soma, ainda, a preconceitos como o racismo e a xenofobia, condutas que marginalizam sobremaneira mulheres indígenas e negras, por exemplo. Assim, propomos uma leitura acerca da representação histórica e cultural das personagens femininas do conto A Caligrafia de Deus, a fim de compreendermos aspectos da violência simbólica presentes nesta narrativa.
Por que uma teoria ideal da justiça?
Authors: Vita Álvaro de
Published: May 2023

Por que a teoria política normativa voltada para questões de justiça social e política deveria se ocupar de princípios no âmbito daquilo que John Rawls denominou “teoria ideal”, em contraste com a “teoria não ideal” da justiça? Será que necessitamos desenvolver e refinar uma teoria ideal da justiça para determinar o que a justiça requer nas condições não ideais com as quais no defrontamos? Será que a “teoria ideal” da justiça é capaz de orientar a ação – decisões políticas e escolhas institucionais – em condições não ideais? Se a resposta para essas duas perguntas for “não”, então deveríamos acima de tudo nos empenhar em desenvolver uma teoria não ideal da justiça. Nas versões mais fortes dessa objeção, como a de Amartya Sen em The Ideia of Justice, podemos dispensar inteiramente a teoria ideal da justiça. Contra essa linha de objeção, que também é sustentada, de formas distintas, por autores como Onora O’Neill, Colin Farrelly e Charles Mills, este artigo desenvolve uma argumentação em duas etapas. Em primeiro lugar, sustenta-se que há razões para valorizar a teorização ideal que são independentes da relação que possa ter com a teoria não ideal. Em uma segunda etapa, sustenta-se que a teoria ideal da justiça, embora deixe enorme quantidade de trabalho (empírico e normativo) a ser feito, é imprescindível para determinar o que a justiça requer de nós aqui e agora.

Published: May 2023

Uma grande parte das pesquisas em dispersão turbulenta de contaminantes na Camada Limite Planetária (CLP) é relacionada com a especificação dos fluxos turbulentos de concentração. A aproximação para estes termos desconhecidos permite resolver a equação de difusão-advecção. O processo de especificação da parametrização dos fluxos turbulentos de concentração é conhecido como o problema de fechamento do transporte turbulento. O esquema matemático mais comum que conduz à uma solução da equação de difusão-advecção emprega coeficientes de difusão que relacionam os fluxos turbulentos de concentração ao gradiente da concentração média. Neste estudo, empregando-se um modelo Euleriano de dispersão e dados de concentração, coeficientes de difusão derivados do espectro de energia turbulenta e aqueles que dependem da razão entre o fluxo de entranhamento e o de superfície, serão usados na simulação do campo de concentração superficial.
Estudo de ocorrência de dutos de evaporação na região oceânica ao largo do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul
Authors: Pinheiro Flávia Rodrigues , Almeida Ricardo Carvalho de
Published: May 2023

Neste trabalho será estudada a ocorrência de condições de propagação eletromagnética anômalas na camada próxima à superfície do mar, causadas pela formação de dutos de evaporação na costa do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, ao largo do porto de Rio Grande. Serão investigadas as características das feições meteorológicas e oceanográficas, tipicamente associadas às condições da camada superficial, favoráveis à formação dos dutos de evaporação, de forma a serem estabelecidos modelos conceituais aplicáveis para a área de estudo. Para tal, será utilizado um modelo de camada superficial, baseado na teoria de Monin-Obukhov, para a composição de perfis de refratividade atmosférica, a partir de dados de uma bóia meteorológica/oceanográfica fundeada ao largo do porto de Rio Grande. Os resultados do caso estudado mostram que a altura do topo do duto de evaporação foi modulada pela passagem de um sistema frontal naquela região, que alterou os perfis verticais de umidade específica na camada superficial. Houve significativa mudança nas condições de propagação eletromagnética, com a conseqüente possibilidade de variação nos alcances de comunicação/detecção de equipamentos na faixa de VHF, UHF e microondas.
The Capitalocene and Slow Violence in Gabriel García Márquez s One Hundred Years of Solitude
Authors: Şahin Gülter Işıl
Published: May 2023

The term Global South originates in the social sciences, where it invokes the notion of a global North-South divide to organize nations according to socioeconomic and political status. In a literary context, the Global South signifies an ongoing endeavor to engage with the current global disposition by identifying its externalities and providing the framework in which wide-ranging and cross-regional resistance might be imagined. Drawing on this point of view, the Global South can be regarded as a resilient political imagination originating from the marginalized peoples’ mutual recognition of analogous circumstances under contemporary capitalism. Recognition is, therefore, the critical point for the construction of Global South consciousness, which will enable those people to activate solidarities that can be put into action toward the goal of liberation. In this context, this paper intends to investigate Gabriel García Márquez’s portrayal of an environmental apocalypse in One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967), which offers rich possibilities for thinking about García Márquez in relation to the Global South. Paying particular attention to the geographical vulnerability of the Global South and Márquez’s representation of the transnational banana company’s ecocidal practices in Macondo, this paper establishes an analogous connection between capitalism’s externalities and its impact on the environmental degradation and the living conditions of local communities. Drawing heavily on Jason W. Moore’s notion of “the Capitalocene” and Rob Nixon’s theory of “slow violence,” this paper indicates that One Hundred Years of Solitude highlights the intersections between the analogous deterioration of the poor people’s living conditions and the environment in Macondo, offering multiple entry points from which socio-ecological connections are embodied and conveyed to the readers.
Destabilizing ‘Development : A Critique of Capitalocene in Sarah Joseph s Gift in Green
Authors: Pradhan Swapnit , Kumar Nagendra
Published: May 2023

Dean Curtin (1999) and Mariko Lin Frame (2023) argue that a minor portion of the world’s population has autonomy over resource consumption dynamics, while the majority is confined to the periphery (p. 35; p. 8). The global North sets the standards, as their lifestyles based on resource exploitation are depicted as ‘developed’. Promoting such ‘ecologically impossible’ conducts as benchmarks of development has grave consequences in the global south, where the ecological experiences of human beings are driven primarily by aims of subsistence and survival (Curtin, 1999, p. 35). Gift in Green (2011) by Sarah Joseph narrates the plight of a closely knit Pulaya (Dalit) community in Kerala, India. Their harmonious coexistence with the surrounding environment is manifested through the indigenous ecological structure. The congenial relationship between humans and nature is disrupted by Kumaran’s ideals of extractive and urban-industrial development. Eventually, the Edenic village ‘Aathi’ turns into a stinking dump yard of toxic pollutants. The “people of the ecosystem,” who rely on the meager resources around them, are deprived of their primary source of survival. Through close textual analysis of this novel and with a critical background informed by bioregional, ecocritical, and developmental theories, the article exhibits three facets of the central argument. First, we investigate how indigenous ecological structure strengthens human-nonhuman connections. Further, the essay demonstrates how Anthropocentric developmental notions based on ecological imperialism, extractivism, and capitalogenic plundering of the environment systematically destroy the socio-ecological fabric of the village of Aathi. Finally, the article explores the feasibility of environmentally and socially just development models.
The Anthropocene as Impasse: Optimism, cynicism, and the desire for justice in Indra Sinha s Animal s People
Authors: Pai Akshata Sharad
Published: May 2023

This paper reads Indra Sinha’s novel Animal’s People (2007) for its representation of the impasse that develops in the wake of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy (1984) as its victims wait endlessly for justice. I examine the narrative form that the impasse takes in the novel, detailing how the stagnancy and frustration of the impasse shape the novel’s narrative movement. I track the different negotiations between optimism and cynicism that shape people’s attachment to justice in the novel’s world. The tensions and correlations between these modes of cynicism and optimism serve to trace the affective and political contours of the impasse while offering a critique of the structural impossibilities of movement. I examine how two temporalities—the suspended time of the impasse and the toxic temporality of the poisons—intersect in the novel. At the intersection between the two is the impasse of the Anthropocene.

Published: May 2023

Two clusters of COVID-19 cases were identified in Bangkok, Thailand linked to entertainment areas, including pubs, bars and nightclubs in March 2020. A joint investigation was carried out by healthcare staff and epidemiologists from the Division of Epidemiology of Department of Disease Control and the Urban Disease Control and Prevention. A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed to describe characteristics of the outbreak clusters, perform contact tracing, and provide recommendations for outbreak control. In total, there were 15 cases in the first cluster and 31 cases in the second cluster; including both the index cases and cases that were later identified from contact tracing. Sharing utensils, glasses and cigarettes was a key risk behavior. Moreover, active case finding was done among the personnel of a pub linked to the majority of the cases. Eighteen percent of the workers in this pub was infected with SARS-CoV-2. After the reopening of pubs, bars and nightclubs, a sentinel surveillance policy and close monitoring program among people with a history of travelling to or working at entertainment places was implemented.

Published: May 2023

A sudden increase in patients with acute febrile illness (AFI) in Rangamati General Hospital in June 2018 prompted an investigation to confirm the unusual occurrence of this condition, to identify the cause, and to recommend control measures. All patients had acute onset of fever and joint pain. We used our review of hospital records, interviews of active cases in hospital and the community, and environmental and entomological investigations to generate a hypothesis of possible etiologic agents. Blood samples were tested by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for chikungunya, dengue and Zika viruses. We identified 51 AFI cases in Rangamati Hill District, of which 64.7% were male, 25.5% were aged 21-30 years, and 76.5% were in the community. The outbreak lasted from 27 May to 19 Jun 2018. We concluded that chikungunya caused the outbreak in Rangamati because the AFI cases had fever, joint pain, rash and headache. Twenty-one (41.1%) of the cases were positive for chikungunya virus and Aedes aegypti larvae were found in the households near the cases. This was the first report of chikungunya in this municipal area. We recommended increased public awareness to reduce mosquito breeding places near houses, distributing leaflets on chikungunya disease and using insecticide treated nets.

Published: May 2023

Anak jalanan merupakan kelompok rentan yang seringkali menghadapi berbagai tantangan dalam kehidupan. Salah satu tantangan yang paling signifikan adalah akses mereka ke pendidikan formal. Anak jalanan seringkali menghadapi hambatan dalam pendidikan formal, seperti kemiskinan, kurangnya kesempatan, stigma sosial, dan kurangnya motivasi. Pendidikan merupakan hak dasar setiap anak, termasuk anak jalanan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif. Seperti yang dikemukakan Sugiyono dalam (Rukajat, 2018), pendekatan kualitatif ini memandang realitas sosial secara holistrik/utuh, kompleks, dinamis dan sarat makna. Jenis penelitian ini adalah menggunakan data sekunder yang diperoleh atau dikumpulkan dari sumber yang ada oleh orang yang melakukan penelitian. Anak-anak yang menjadi anak jalanan dengan alasan atau sebab yang berbeda-beda dan dapat dikelompokkan menurut pola tertentu. Remaja menjadi anak jalanan disebabkan oleh banyak faktor, yaitu faktor kemiskinan, faktor keluarga dan masyarakat. Eksploitasi ekonomi terhadap anak berdampak negatif bagi anak. Selain itu, anak-anak yang dipaksa bekerja seringkali tidak dapat memperoleh pekerjaan formal karena belum kompetitif dan nilai tukar layanan yang mereka berikan belum sepadan. Berdasarkan penelitian dan pembahasan di atas dapat disimpulkan bahwa banyak faktor penyebab munculnya anak jalanan, seperti faktor ekonomi atau kemiskinan, faktor keluarga dan faktor masyarakat. Eksploitasi terhadap anak, khususnya anak jalanan, masih marak terjadi. Bentuk eksploitasi berupa pemaksaan anak jalanan untuk bekerja di sektor informal, seperti mengemis dan mengamen.

This study compares the level of value added and productivity generated by the companies activating in the water and wastewater sector and investigates their determinants. To this end, we perform a panel data analysis over the period 2007 to 2014 using firm-level data. We include in our analysis nine public companies located in four counties inside the West Region of Romania, namely Arad, Caraș-Severin, Hunedoara and Timiș. We compare a classic Pooled OLS, a fixed effect and a random effect estimator. Our static analysis shows that the value added is mainly explained by the operating revenue, profit margin and liquidity ratio. While the size of the companies positively influences the level of value added, the consumers wealthy, measured in terms of GDP per capita, has no clear influence. It appears that regional operating companies perform better compared with small firms acting at local level. A similar result is recorded when we estimate the drivers of the productivity level, measured in terms of value added per employee. We conclude that the economies of scale recorded by companies located in the main cities of the region, and an adequate financial management of these companies, both contribute to enhancing their economic performances.

The ultrasonic spatial code line for blind people using Node MCU, web camera, ultrasonic sensor, and output of speaker is an innovative system designed to aid visually impaired individuals in navigating their environment independently and safely. The system works by using a combination of hardware components and software algorithms to provide real-time spatial feedback to the user. The system consists of a Node MCU microcontroller, which acts as the central processing unit and controls the flow of data between the various components. A web camera is used to capture a live video feed of the user's surroundings, which is then processed using image recognition algorithms to identify and locate obstacles in the environment. An ultrasonic sensor is used to measure the distance between the user and any obstacles detected in the video feed. This information is then used to generate a tactile feedback map that is transmitted to the user via a speaker output. The tactile feedback map consists of a series of vibrations that correspond to the location and distance of the obstacles in the user's environment. The ultrasonic spatial code line is a critical need for blind individuals who struggle with navigating their environment independently. The system provides a practical solution that can help improve their quality of life by enabling them to move around more safely and confidently. Additionally, the system is relatively low-cost and easy to implement, making it accessible to a broader range of individuals.

IOT Powered Smart Strata Monitoring System for early and precise detection of Convergence in Underground Coal Mines
Authors:   Computer Science Department, Singareni Collieries Polytechnic, Telangana, India.
Published: May 2023

Roof fall, bed separation and convergence are one of the serious life-threatening problems faced by the miners in all the underground coal mines since early mining age to current mining situations. Most of the statistics regarding fatal accidents and trapped miners in underground coal mines are the results of sudden roof fall due to bed separation of overlying strata in the underground mine galleries or roadways. In Indian underground coal mines, many of fatalities were seen over the years although this rate has been gradually decreasing since past decade only by implementing some of physical and mechanical methods to detect or monitor strata convergence. With the advancement of technology, sensors become an extensive part of everyday life. Various researchers are trying to monitor, detect and prevent fatalities due to roof fall in real time scenario in underground coal mines with the use of sensors, IOT and other technology. The main aim is to Install a non-invasive laser proximity sensor in the hole drilled into the roof where the necessity arises to remotely monitor the convergence in the strata under bad roof conditions in underground coal mines and monitor them remotely with an automated display showing the details of the bed separation, roof convergence and detailed information about the roof condition remotely.

Introduction : La lèpre est une maladie tropicale négligée causée par les Mycobacteri leprae et lepromatosis. Elle est endémique dans la province du Tanganyika où elle demeure encore un problème de santé publique. La stigmatisation et la discrimination envers les lépreux découlent du niveau de connaissance de la population sur la lèpre. Cette première étude en milieu académique congolais a été menée dans l’objectif d’évaluer les connaissances et l’attitude des étudiants en sciences médicales au regard de la lèpre. Méthodologie : Il s’agissait d’une étude analytique transversale réalisée au moyen de questionnaire fermé, parmi les étudiants de l’Institut Supérieur des Techniques médicales de Kalemie de Septembre à Décembre 2022. Les données collectées ont été analysées à l’aide du logiciel Epi-Info 7.2. Le seuil de significativité de test était fixé à p < 0,05. Résultats : Sur 299 étudiants interrogés, 98,6% avaient déjà entendu parler de la lèpre, dont 52,2% lors des séances des cours. L’âge moyen des enquêtés était de 24,7 ± 4,7 ans, avec une légère prédominance féminine (50,2%). La majorité des étudiants étaient en sciences infirmières (74,9%). Le niveau de connaissance était bon à 35,9% et l’attitude était positive chez 12,5% d’enquêtés. La bonne connaissance sur la lèpre était significativement associée au sexe féminin (OR = 1,8 [IC95% : 1,1-2,9] ; p=0,023), au statut matrimonial autre que célibataire ( OR=2,834 [IC95% : 1,581-5,079] ; p=0,006]), et à la principale source d’information constituée des enseignements des cours (OR=8,3 [IC95% : 4,6-14,8] ; p<0,0001). Les enseignements aux cours, la résidence en milieu urbain, la volonté de partager à manger avec le lépreux et autoriser son enfant à jouer avec le lépreux sont associés à l’attitude positive des étudiants envers les lépreux. Conclusion : En milieu de forte incidence de la lèpre, les résultats de cette étude témoignent de la nécessité de mis en place des stratégies de sensibilisation et d’éducation des étudiants sur la lèpre pour lutter contre l’ignorance et la stigmatisation.

Published: May 2023

Agriculture planning is playing an important role as the economic growth is very high day by day in our daily life. There is lot of research study going on as there are few important issues like soil nutrients, crop prediction, farming system, crop monitoring in agriculture with modern farming system. Based on various parameters, farming issues and farming system, there is lot of change in production rate and market prices. Crop prediction and crop monitoring is main factor to produce good quality of crops for farmers to predict crop yield based on soil moisture. Prediction of crop yield includes forecasting factors like temperature, humidity, rainfall, etc., and crop yield based on soil moisture includes few measures like pH, NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorous and potassium) values using various sensors. Farmers can predict or come to a decision the type of soil moisture values, farmers can decide the type of crop to be planted.

Authors: McWalter Patricia
Published: May 2023

This literature review explores the role of mentorship and supervision during hospital residency, as well as the inﬂuence of mentorship, supervision and coaching on leadership skills. This article provides insight into deﬁnitions of mentorship, clinical leadership and management and how leadership theories have changed, as healthcare has become more complex. There is a positive association between mentoring medical trainees and postgraduate training outcomes and success in exams. With regard to leadership training, studies have found that supervision, mentoring or coaching are beneﬁcial in developing leadership skills. Junior doctors believe that leadership and management are important for physicians and some believed it should be incorporated into the curriculum. The article also looks at the diﬀerent leadership styles and if a certain style lends itself to being a better mentor. Three commonly employed leadership styles in healthcare, include democratic, aﬃliative and authoritative. A distributive leadership style was identiﬁed as being useful in healthcare. The situational Leadership Theory implies that diﬀerent situations call for diﬀerent leadership behaviours.

Non-probabilistic hazard evaluation
Authors: Bukovics István , Kun István
Published: May 2023

Quantitative analysis of complex risk systems often faces three major problems. The first problem is the size of the system to be examined, since the number of possible system states increases exponentially with system size. The second problem is the topology of the system which may not be tree-like. The third problem is the consideration of randomness, since risk events are in many cases single, non-repetitive, therefore probability theory is inadequate. In order to handle this deficiency we suggest to apply logical risk analysis which traces back the main risk event to elementary, controllable risk events by means of the logical structure describing the operation of the risk system. For illustrations we give some very simple structures and a soil contamination problem as a real-size example.
