Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Sustainability: Systematic Review 1990–2016
Authors: Salas-Zapata Walter Alfredo , Ríos-Osorio Leonardo Alberto , Cardona-Arias Jaiberth Antonio 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
For any transition towards sustainability to be successful, it is necessary to understand the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) – related to sustainability – in different populations. A systematic review was conducted to identify and analyse KAP studies on sustainability that were reported in the scientific literature during the period of 1990–2016. Ten studies were found, of which half were conducted among populations in educational environments, i.e., teachers, students and graduates. The KAP results vary among the studies; however, there is a general tendency to investigate aspects related to ecosystems, natural resources, environmental protection and conservation. The present study concludes that it is necessary to conduct KAP studies that include categories that reflect on the wide range of meanings of sustainability and the attitudes and practices that would arise from such perspectives. This finding also reveals dimensions of sustainability usually omitted by KAP studies of sustainability.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
Entrepreneurship has been seen as a mystical phenomenon for many years. It has been a prevalent notion about success for talented and lucky people. The growing number of research confirms that education plays a significant role in fostering entrepreneurship and new attitudes to it. Recent measurements have mainly been oriented to education as fostering motivation for business-oriented entrepreneurship; moreover, growing attention is devoted to sustainability entrepreneurship. The article introduces the conceptual analysis of different education models and generated impact on entrepreneurial activities. The article also provides an interview-based research analysis about students and teachers’ early entrepreneurial intentions and activities. The present study confirms a significant need for entrepreneurial education in order to start, develop, and successfully realise innovative ideas.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) Minus 1: What’s Next for Malaysian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)?
Authors: Lasuin Charlie Albert , Omar Azizah , Ramayah T. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
TPPA faced turbulence and uncertainty among its members when the newly-elected President of the United States, Mr. Donald Trumps abandoned the trade deal. Now, the so-called TPP11 or TPP 12 minus one becomes talk of the town especially to the remaining countries with hopes that the trade deal can be salvage and turn into a reality. Malaysia has another option to rely on in case the trade deal faced the dead end. This paper discuss the possible steps and mitigations for Malaysia and also local SMEs in dealing with the future of TPP11 with the alternative economic deal such as Asean Economic Community (AEC) and Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Local SMEs can enhance their products and services by focusing on domestic market as well as looking for opportunity in the international market as another way to survive in the red ocean market. The introduction of the Digital Free Trade Zone (DFTZ) creates another opportunity for Malaysian SMEs to optimise the emerging growth of the Internet economy and cross border e-commerce activities. In addition, the DFTZ would enhanced local SMEs in terms of export capabilities in the digital market particularly with China. Local SMEs should remain proactive, resilience and versatile in facing the world’s economic uncertainty particularly the TPP for the sustainability of their business livelihood. Thus, this paper will review the next step for Malaysian SMEs in dealing with the uncertain future of the TPPA minus 1.
On a Better Understanding of the Threat Posed by Terrorism in Albania
Authors: Kuçi Ruzhdi 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This paper intends to provide a comprehensive description and differentiation of the terms terrorism, extremism and radicalization and to clarify that, though in everyday life and in various non-professional articles, they are frequently used interchangeably, they must be differentiated and clearly explained if we want to successfully prevent or, at least, to reduce the consequences posed by these threats. At the same time, this paper is an attempt to present the different ways described in the academic literature and political documents to define radicalization, violent extremism and terrorism, identifying the various characteristics of actors, individuals or organizations, seeking to engage in such activities as well as some ways to increase community capacity in taking appropriate steps to deal with root causes that can lead to violent actions.
Characteristics of Innovation in Regions with Small- and Medium-Sized Towns
Authors: Birkner Zoltán , Máhr Tivadar , Péter Erzsébet , Berkes Nora Rodek 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Globalisation “takes” its victims, which the authors believe means that the future of small- and medium-sized towns has become uncertain in Europe. The role of centres is continuously increasing, and most researchers prefer to analyse the competitiveness and innovativeness of metropolitan areas. In this study, we characterise the small- and medium-sized towns in the central–eastern European region as well as explore their possible development path. The authors are convinced that one way for these towns to survive is through strengthening of innovation abilities, which means increasing the innovation performances of economic stakeholders and new forms of interaction among other institutions in order to handle social problems. The theoretical starting point is the interpretation and presentation of the micropolitan (without big towns) regions as well as understanding the concept of technological and social innovation. As the result of the research, the innovation measurements carried out in some of the settlements will be represented. These experiences can help the small- and medium-sized towns keep up with global competition and cancel migration and erosion of intellectual potential.
Hybrid Monte Carlo source model: Advantages and deficiencies
Authors: van Eeden Déte , du Plessis Freek C.P. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is the gold standard for dose calculation. An accurate mathematical source model can be used for the radiation beams. Source models can consist of sub-sources or fewer sources with data that need to be measured. This can speed up treatment plan verification without the need for a full simulation of the radiation treatment machine.

Aims: This study aimed to construct a novel hybrid source model for 6 MV photon beams for an Elekta Synergy accelerator and to commission it against measured beam data and treatments plans.

Methods and Material: The model comprised of a circular photon and planar electron contamination source. The modified Schiff formula provided off-axis variable bremsstrahlung spectra. Collimation and scatter were modelled with error functions. An exponential function modelled the transmitted fluence through the collimators. The source model was commissioned by comparing simulated and measured MC data. Dose data included profiles, depth dose and film measurements in a Rando phantom. Field sizes ranged from 1 × 1 cm2 to 40 × 40 cm2.

Results: Regular, wedged and asymmetrical fields could be modelled within 1.5% or 1.5 mm. More than 95% of all points lie within 3% or 3 mm for the multi-leaf collimators contours data. A gamma criterion of 3% or 3 mm was met for a complex treatment case.

Conclusions: The two sub-source model replicated clinical 6 MV Elekta Synergy photons beams and could calculate the dose accurately for conformal treatments in complex geometries such as a head-and-neck case.

Published: June 2018

Con la utilización de los entornos virtuales como medios de socialización, problemáticas como el bullying se han trasladado al ciberespacio. A pesar de que el ciberbullying es una problemática actual dentro de las instituciones educativas, pocas son las propuestas de programas que buscan que los menores aprendan a utilizar y convivir de manera adecuada en los entornos virtuales. El objetivo general de esta investigación es que los estudiantes muestren un comportamiento adecuado en las relaciones interpersonales que tienen en los entornos virtuales a través de la puesta en marcha de un programa basado en la ciberconvivencia, y con ello, una disminución del acoso escolar cibernético. La evaluación de la efectividad de dicho programa se realizó por medio de un diseño cuasi experimental pretest-postest, contando con un grupo control sin exposición al programa (N=44) y un grupo experimental con exposición al mismo (N=44) de alumnos de bachillerato con edades entre 15 y 18 años. Entre los resultados obtenidos, se destaca la disminución de la victimización y justificación del cyberbullying en el grupo experimental y manteniéndose en el grupo control.
¿Qué papel tiene el apego en la aparición de dificultades emocionales, conductuales y sociales en menores institucionalizados?
Authors: Mansilla Yuguero María 
Published: June 2018

Desde hace más de 40 años las investigaciones se han interesado en conocer el vínculo entre el cuidador y el niño en las instituciones. Así, existen multitud de estudios centrados en la conducta de apego del menor y en otros aspectos relacionados con la institucionalización de menores como la posibilidad de presentar dificultades a distintos niveles. Sin embargo, son escasos los estudios que abordan la relación entre ambas variables, apego y dificultades. Por ello el presente estudio tiene por objetivo determinar el papel que tiene el apego en el desarrollo de dificultades en menores institucionalizados. Para ello han participado 16 menores institucionalizados entre 2 y 7 años, a los que se le ha aplicado una batería de evaluación compuesta por una ficha de datos sociodemográficos, el cuestionario SDQ y la entrevista IMAS. Los resultados pusieron de manifiesto correlaciones negativas entre la seguridad de apego y las dificultades en niños institucionalizados. También se encontró correlaciones negativas entre la edad de llegada a la institución y la presencia problemas graves, dificultades generales e hiperactividad. Sin embargo en la variable conducta prosocial, se encontró una correlación positiva en relación a la edad de llegada del menor a la institución. Por lo que podemos concluir, que el apego es un vínculo esencial para minimizar la aparición de dificultades y problemas en menores institucionalizados.

Authors: Machado Leonardo , Nunes Rosália , Cantilino Amaury 
Published: June 2018

A prevalência de transtornos de ansiedade, de depressão e de síndrome de burnout em estudantes de medicina é globalmente alta. Essa problemática deve ser vista não apenas como uma questão educacional, mas também como uma preocupação de saúde pública, uma vez que influenciará a relação médico-paciente e a qualidade assistencial dos futuros médicos. Por isso, esforços para manejo de fatores estressantes durante a graduação médica têm sido empreendidos. No Brasil, o serviço coordenado pelo Prof. Galdino Loreto na Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE) foi um dos primeiros serviços dessa natureza em território brasileiro. Seis décadas após o início do trabalho pioneiro do Prof. Galdino Loreto, observou-se um aumento de cinco vezes do número de alunos de medicina que procuraram ajuda e de três vezes daqueles que receberam auxílio na mesma universidade pública. Embora seja difícil elencar todos os fatores implicados nesse aumento, é importante refletir sobre ele no sentido de promover iniciativas efetivas de auxílio aos futuros médicos. Neste artigo, depois de considerações acerca da saúde mental de estudantes de medicina e de um resgate histórico das iniciativas de atendimento psiquiátrico e psicológico para essa população, discorreu-se sobre o trabalho pioneiro do Prof. Galdino Loreto e apresentou-se a iniciativa atual de extensão do Programa Galdino Loreto, ambos na UFPE. Foi possível tecer comparações acerca do número de atendimentos aos alunos de medicina realizados nos referidos momentos históricos. É importante que a psiquiatria participe ativamente desse processo.

The Perceptions of Nurse Educators regarding the use of High Fidelity Simulation in Nursing Education
Authors: Janse van Vuuren Viola , Seekoe Eunice , Goon Daniel Ter 
Published: June 2018

Although nurse educators are aware of the advantages of simulation-based training, some still feel uncomfortable to use technology or lack the motivation to learn how to use the technology. The aging population of nurse educators causes frustration and anxiety. They struggle with how to include these tools particularly in the light of faculty shortages. Nursing education programmes are increasingly adopting simulation in both undergraduate and graduate curricula. The aim of this study was to determine the perceptions of nurse educators regarding the use of high fidelity simulation (HFS) in nursing education at a South African private nursing college. A national survey of nurse educators and clinical training specialists was completed with 118Â participants; however, only 79 completed the survey. The findings indicate that everyone is at the same level as far as technology readiness is concerned, however, it does not play a significant role in the use of HFS. These findings support the educatorsâ€™ need for training to adequately prepare them to use simulation equipment. There is a need for further research to determine what other factors play a role in the use of HFS; and if the benefits of HFS are superior to other teaching strategies warranting the time and financial commitment. The findings of this study can be used as guidelines for other institutions to prepare their teaching staff in the use of HFS.
Engaging Young Children with Mathematical Activities Involving Different Representations: Triangles, Patterns, and Counting Objects
Authors: Tirosh Dina , Tsamir Pessia , Barkai Ruthi , Levenson Esther 
Published: June 2018

This paper synthesises research from three separate studies, analysing how different representations of a mathematical concept may affect young children’s engagement with mathematical activities. Children between five and seven years old engaged in counting objects, identifying triangles and completing repeating patterns. The implementation of three counting principles were investigated: the one-to-one principle, the stable-order principle and the cardinal principal. Children’s reasoning when identifying triangles was analysed in terms of visual, critical and non-critical attribute reasoning. With regard to repeating patterns, we analyse children’s references to the minimal unit of repeat of the pattern. Results are discussed in terms of three functions of multiple external representations: to complement, to constrain and to construct.

О механизмах управления промышленными предприятиями
Authors: Климкин Юрий Николаевич 
Published: June 2018

Цель исследование механизма управления на основе выявления эффективных инструментов менеджмента промышленными предприятиями. Методы. При проведении исследования применялись методы системного, ситуационного подходов, приемы трансформации, анализа и синтеза, а также методы статистической обработки информации, приемы и инструменты логического анализа и другие экономические и общенаучные методы. В статье использовались материалы органов государственной статистики, исследований автора, проводимых на предприятиях радиоэлектронной промышленности Центрального федерального округа, а также факты, выводы и положения, представленные в научных публикациях; обзорно-аналитические и справочные материалы. Малое количество предлагаемых механизмов управления промышленными предприятиями адаптируются к современным, постоянно изменяющимся рыночным условиям и не все механизмы используют подходящий для конкретного предприятия инструментарий и совсем не используют потенциальные ресурсы организаций. На сегодняшний день остро стоим вопрос о необходимости внедрения новых механизмов управления промышленными предприятиями, которые могли бы не только предлагать имеющиеся и новые инструменты управления, но и позволяли производить корреляционную оценку предлагаемого инструментария, а так же расширяли бы возможность промышленных предприятий с точки зрения получаемых средств. В последнее время у большинства промышленных предприятий увеличивается количество нематериальных активов, признаваемых в финансовой отчетности(хотя доля их по прежнему невелика). Это связано с расширением бизнеса, созданием новых товарных знаков, внедрением дорогостоящих информационных систем. Результаты. Сформировано комплексное представление об инструментах управления промышленным предприятием, о нематериальных активах, как инструментальной базе управления предприятием. Область применения. Представленные механизмы и инструменты могут быть использованы в управлении промышленными предприятиями. Вывод. В статье получили дальнейшее углубление и развитие существующие в современной экономической науке теоретические и методические основы решения проблемы инструментария управления эффективностью деятельности промышленных предприятий.
