Authors: Amorim Priscila Rodrigues Rogerio , Anhê Ana Carolina Borella Marfil , Veiga Tatiane Bonametti , Senhuk Ana Paula Milla dos Santos 
Published: November 2024

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the environmental quality of an educational institution in order to draw up a School Environmental Management Plan (SEMP).

Theoretical Framework: Studies on this subject have tended to investigate and diagnose the level of environmental sensitivity and perception through school environmental practices, with the intention of proposing intervention actions, but without using simplified environmental planning models.

Method: In this work, the Environmental Committee was created and the Environmental Diagnosis of a rural school in Uberaba-MG was carried out using the following tools: photodiagnosis, floristic survey, questionnaires and checklist. Based on the results, the SEMP was drawn up, using the 5W2H tool, Environmental Education actions were proposed for inclusion in the school's Pedagogical Political Project.

Results and Discussion: The environmental education carried out at the school could be characterized as occasional and isolated practices, often misunderstood by those who carry it out. As a result, a playful booklet was produced with the tools used and instructions on how to create an SEMP, which was distributed to all the schools in the municipal network.

Research Implications: The SEMP was the product of collective and conscious action by the school community, and was not their sole responsibility, either in terms of preparation, execution or maintenance.

Originality/Value: The method used to draw up the SEMP, when compared to other environmental management projects, proves to be an instrument for developing pro-environmental behavior, contributing to the sustainability of other school units.

Published: November 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the level of education as a social determinant in the prevalence of anxiety and depression in Córdoba.

Theoretical Framework: The model of social determinants, social capital theory, and health vulnerability emphasize how educational level influences mental well-being. These approaches show that access to education reduces vulnerability and promotes self-care capacity in communities, especially in highly unequal contexts like Córdoba.

Method: A comparative cross-sectional study, with a sample of 395 people aged between 15 and 95 years.

Results and Discussion: Statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were found between levels of depression and anxiety and educational attainment, with participants with lower education levels at higher risk of depressive and anxious symptoms.

Research Implications: The results highlight the importance of educational level as a protective factor in mental health, suggesting that educational programs in Córdoba could reduce the prevalence of anxiety and depression. This preventive approach could enhance social and economic well-being by reducing mental health risks in vulnerable populations.

Originality/Value: The research explores the impact of education on mental health in Córdoba, providing valuable data for contextualized interventions. It also highlights the need to address structural factors in mental health promotion in regions with high illiteracy rates.
The Effect of Digital Social Influence on Attitudinal Change and Purchase Behavioral Intention of Consumers
Authors: Settou Hind , Aomari Amina 
Published: November 2024

Objective: The objective of our research is to study the phenomenon of digital social influence through a set of determinants linked on the one hand to the characteristics of the influencer, such as credibility, congruence and parasocial interaction, and on the other hand to the content disseminated, which must combine originality, uniqueness, reliability and argumentative force.

Theorical framework : The article highlights the various theories used to study the crucial role of the social influencer in changing the attitudes and purchasing intentions of Moroccan consumers, such as the credibility model, the electronic word-of-mouth (E-WOM) model, the SOR model and the theory of reasoned action.

Method : The methodology adopted to explain this topical phenomenon is based on descriptive methods supported by documentary analysis techniques in order to draw out the various theoretical concepts to clarify and provide answers to the many questions raising the issue of the credibility, homophily and popularity of the source, as well as the nature of the arguments presented in its content and their role in the process of forming consumer attitudes and purchase intentions.

Results and Discussion: The results obtained show that the para-social interaction that exists between the influencer and the members of his or her community, social and physical attractiveness, homophily and credibility are basic criteria that, each in their own way, influence the subscriber's attitude and intention to buy. This work also confirms the idea that the perceived uniqueness and quality of publications appear to be crucial in strengthening the perceived trust between influencers and subscribers.

Research Implications: This research will be of unprecedented managerial use, firstly by encouraging the regulation of the legal status of the digital influencer in Morocco, secondly by setting up specialised and in-depth university training in content production and social media management, and lastly by encouraging investment in scientific research in this rapidly expanding field, the direction of which is still emerging.

Originality/Value: The originality of this research lies in its interdisciplinary nature, combining, on the one hand, the theories of persuasion from social psychology and, on the other, the theories of attitude and purchase intention from management sciences. The added value is the proposal of an appropriate conceptual model to respond to our problem linked to the role of the social digital influencer in the attitudinal change of his subscribers.

Construction and Initial Validation of Measures Regarding Human Milk Donation: An Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior
Authors: Pinheiro Romel , Reinert Franciane , Souza Maria José Barbosa de 
Published: November 2024

Objective: to construct and validate measures related to human milk donation (HMD), based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB).

Theoretical framework: it is assumed that TPB can be used to explain and predict HMD behavior and the construction of these measures should consider reflective and formative measures.

Method: a questionnaire was developed with 12 direct reflective measures and 30 indirect formative measures and applied to a sample of postpartum women eligible to donate. The reliability of the direct measures was verified by the internal consistency criterion, using Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability. The reliability of the indirect measures was verified by the temporal stability criterion, using the test-retest technique and the intraclass correlation coefficient. The construct validity of the direct measures was established through the convergent and discriminant validity of these measures. The construct validity of the indirect formative measures was established through convergent validity, the assessment of collinearity problems and the assessment of the significance and relevance of the formative measures.

Results and conclusion: the reliability and validity of the direct reflective and indirect formative measures indicated that they are reliable and acceptable.

Research implications: this questionnaire can be used to predict HMD behavior, which in turn can improve donor recruitment management in human milk banks.

Originality/value: a questionnaire with direct and indirect measures of the TPB on HMD is unprecedented.

Authors: Martínez Ignacio Alejandro Mendoza , Flores Carlos Gabriel Colín , Nava Víctor Xochitototl , Rivera Blanca Rosa García 
Published: November 2024

Objective: The objective of this research was to compare the results of structural equation models with latent variables (SEM) using the covariance-based maximum likelihood method, employing two different software applications for this purpose (Amos and R Studio Lavaan).

Theoretical Framework: This article presents the main concepts and theories underlying this research, addressing the use of SEM in organizational climate analysis and its importance in the educational context to evaluate key constructs in institutional dynamics.

Method: The constructs were derived from an organizational climate evaluation of a higher education institution in Mexico. The “Organizational Climate Inventory” was applied, selecting five subscales: Satisfaction, Pride and Belonging, Clarity of Goals and Objectives, Collaborative Work, and Efficiency and Effectiveness. Administrative, managerial, academic, and service staff were invited to participate, achieving a sample of n = 801.

Results and Discussion: The results from Amos vs. R Studio Lavaan confirmed that there were no significant differences between the SEMs regarding paths, standardized regression coefficients, R², goodness-of-fit indices, and correlation coefficients. Efficiency and Effectiveness (83.0%) was explained by the influence of Clarity of Goals and Objectives (0.11), Satisfaction (0.26), Collaborative Work (0.31), and Pride and Belonging (0.37) based on standardized regression coefficients. Collaborative Work (52.0%) was explained by the influence of Clarity of Goals and Objectives (0.49) and Pride and Belonging (0.29). The instrument demonstrated reliability levels above 0.70, as well as convergent validity greater than 0.50 and discriminant validity above 0.70 across all subscales.

Research Implications: Theoretical and practical implications of this study highlight the feasibility of using free software for SEM analysis, offering institutions an efficient and accessible alternative.

Originality/Value: This Study Contributes to the Literature by Validating the Use of Free Software as An Effective and Accurate Tool for Structural Analysis in Educational Contexts Without Additional Costs.

Published: November 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate intercultural and professional education aimed at indigenous peoples in Brazil, with the purpose of analyzing the implementation of pedagogical practices that respect and integrate the cultural specificities of these communities.

Theoretical Framework: The study is based on the National Curricular Guidelines for Indigenous School Education (BRASIL, 2012) and concepts of interculturality, as proposed by Apinajé (2017). The research also draws on theories related to indigenous epistemology and discussions on the role of professional education in social emancipation.

Method: The methodology adopted was qualitative, including document analysis and interviews with graduates and faculty from technical courses aimed at indigenous communities. Data collection involved the use of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews.

Results and Discussion: The results revealed that, despite the existence of a strong legal framework, significant challenges remain in applying truly intercultural and specific education. Technical courses, such as those in indigenous nursing, have made progress in valuing traditional knowledge, but face resistance both within and outside indigenous communities. The discussion highlighted the need for a broader and more integrated approach that considers cultural diversity in its entirety.

Implications of the Research: The implications of this research suggest the importance of more inclusive educational policies that respect the cultural specificities of indigenous peoples and expand the offering of intercultural technical courses. Additionally, the research points to the need for ongoing training of educators with an intercultural perspective.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by emphasizing the relevance of pedagogical practices that integrate indigenous and professional knowledge, promoting a more just and representative education. The research holds value by proposing a model of professional education that respects and strengthens indigenous identities.

Authors: Becerra-Canales Bladimir , Pareja Bertha Esther Apolaya , Ocampo Juan Carlos Ruiz , Cuba-Carrillo Fátima , Rivadeneyra-Orderique Yery 
Published: November 2024

Objective: To assess self-efficacy for vaginal birth (VBAC) and its associated factors in pregnant women monitored in primary care.

Theoretical Framework: Concepts and theories that support the study are included, which provide a solid basis for understanding the context of the subject developed.

Method: Multicenter study in 312 pregnant users. The dependent variable was low VPA, measured with the self-efficacy scale for vaginal delivery (SEVB), and the independent variables were sociodemographic and obstetric factors. To examine the association between variables, crude and adjusted prevalence ratios were estimated with generalized linear models of the Poisson family.

Results and Discussion: The proportion of pregnant users with low VPA was 39.4%. Associated sociodemographic and obstetric factors that require special attention were identified. Therefore, they infer a higher probability of low VPA in pregnant women.

Research Implications: It is the intention of the study that knowledge of these factors and their degree of association with low VPA can indirectly help to increase VPA and contribute to the purposes of the health sector.

Originality/Value: Self-efficacy in childbirth determines the choice of mode of delivery. Therefore, VPA is an indicator that requires greater attention during routine antenatal care in health facilities.

Authors: Rodriguez Oscar Andres Galindo , Balbin Darlyn Yolima Castrillón , Boada Antonio 
Published: November 2024

Objectives: This research aims to assess the level of digital maturity of the company CI IBLU S.A.S., in order to effectively manage its digital transformation (DT).

Theoretical framework: It is based on the "Digital Maturity Model" by Berghaus and Back (2016), which identifies key dimensions such as customer experience, innovation and digitisation of processes, providing a framework to assess the digital maturity of organisations.

Method: A quantitative approach was adopted using a case study. A survey was administered to 108 employees of CI IBLU S.A.S., representing 7% of the total population of 480 employees, with a margin of error of 7% and a confidence level of 90%.

Results and discussion: The results indicate that CI IBLU S.A.S. is at level 4 of the model, "elaborated and user-centred processes", reflecting a strong focus on innovation and personalisation of the customer experience. The discussion suggests that although the company has advanced in its digital maturity, it needs to address specific areas to optimise its TD, such as active user engagement and the definition of clear objectives.

Conclusions: The research concludes that the digital maturity model is a valuable tool to guide CI IBLU S.A.S. in its digital transformation process, highlighting the need for a user-centric approach.

Originality/value: The research provides a detailed and contextualised analysis of the digital maturity model in a specific company, providing insights that can be replicated in other organisations with similar digital transformation challenges.
Utilizing Local Fuels in Isolated and Inaccessible Areas of the Irkutsk Region
Authors: E.V. Gubiy , T.F. Tuguzova 
Published: November 2024

In the Irkutsk region, the decentralized energy supply zone relies on expensive autonomous diesel power plants for electricity supply and low- and medium-capacity boiler houses for heat supply. A common problem for these areas is untimely delivery and high cost of fuel. A possible solution may be the use of local fuels that do not require costly transportation. An analysis was made to assess the cost-effectiveness of substituting imported diesel fuel used for power generation for local oil and liquefied natural gas, as well as replacing the heat supply fuels with local fuel chips. The study shows that the cost of fuel is the key factor that affects the efficiency of an energy source in isolated and inaccessible areas. Therefore, switching to local fuels is a highly cost-effective option for existing energy sources. By replacing diesel fuel with oil in nine settlements of the Katangsky district, the subsidies to the Irkutsk region can be reduced by RUR 95.6 million annually. The conversion of diesel power plants to liquefied natural gas in six settlements of the Irkutsk region will reduce the subsidies by RUR 41.9 million annually. The study concludes that, given the small population in the communities at issue, the use of wood waste for heat supply is only suitable in four settlements in the Irkutsk region. The heat sources in all these localities are departmental, which means they are not eligible for subsidies.
