Authors: Zetou Eleni , Vernadakis Nikolaos , Mountaki Fereniki , Giannakopoulos Anestis 
Published: May 2022

The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of teaching life skills through the volleyball passing skill, of 44 primary school female children and their perceived satisfaction with the program. The sample was randomly assigned into two groups. The life skills group (LSG, n= 23) and the control group (CG, n= 21). All participants followed a six-week practice program aiming the passing skill learning. For the participants of LSG the program was combined with the components of goal setting, problem-solving and positive thinking. The control group received typical teaching and feedback provided by the PE teacher. All participants were evaluated in three measurements: pre-test, post-test and retention test. A qualitative evaluation (five main elements) of the passing technique, which was recorded by the digital camera, was used. Also, a common format for evaluating life skills knowledge perceptions and transfer (10-item questionnaire), which was developed in the Greek population by Papacharisis (2004) based on the work of Hogan (2000), and also a questionnaire for the perceived satisfaction of the students was used (Alexandris, Tsorbatzoudis &amp; Grouios, 2004a, 2004b). Anova repeated measures show that participants of the LSG improved passing skill (p&lt;.05) and showed a positive reception of the program by the students who learned interesting and useful things for their life in general, transferable to other aspects in their life, besides sports. The results of the study support the effectiveness of the life skills program that integrated volleyball passing skill learning, life skills improvement and participants’ perceived satisfaction of the program.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0915/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: May 2022

Formal education becomes most authentic, inclusive, and learner-centred when Art is at its forefront. The Arts provide learners with authentic learning experiences that engage their minds, hearts, hands, and entire bodies. The general relevance of Art education for learners with special educational needs has been variously and solidly argued by previous studies. However, much is not known about the creative artefacts of learners with special educational needs. The focus of this qualitative case study was to artistically appreciate selected visual artefacts produced by hearing-impaired pupils of Tetteh Ocloo State School for the Deaf located at Adjei-Kojo, a suburb of Accra in Ghana. Adopting triangulation of instruments (semi-structured interviews, field observation &amp; photography), the study gathered in-depth data from sixteen (16) purposively sampled respondents with findings analysed using qualitative descriptive tenets. The study ascertained that the Creative Arts subject is dedicatedly taught in Tetteh Ocloo State School for the Deaf by Art specialist teachers. As a result, the study observed that the hearing-impaired primary pupils of Tetteh Ocloo State School for the Deaf were able to produce intriguing Visual artefacts (ranging from drawings/painting, clay work &amp; papercraft). Aesthetic appreciation of some of the artefacts revealed that the works represent the oral accounts of the pupils’ worldview of salient experiences in their immediate social and physical environments. It is recommended that the Art specialist teachers of Tetteh Ocloo State School for the Deaf should continue to teach the Creative Arts subject with dedication as this would nurture and inculcate the needed creative, innovative, and inventive skills onto the pupils for responsible adulthood.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0937/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Al atawi Amnah A. , Alaamri Marym M. 
Published: May 2022

Context: End-stage renal disease is characterized by a progressive and permanent impairment of the kidney's functions. Hemodialysis is the most common treatment. Patient adherence to strictly prescribed regimens is critical to treatment success. Social support is a critical factor in many chronic diseases, including ESRD.
Aim: This review aimed to identify the extent of current evidence regarding the adherence to treatment regimens and its associated factors among hemodialysis patients, as well as the relationship between perceived social support and adherence to treatment regimens among these patients.
Methods: A scoping review was completed using four databases included MEDLINE, CINHALE, ProQuest, and PubMed, for related articles between 2010 to mid-2021. After extensive review, 22 studies were found eligible according to applied inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: Variances in patients' adherence levels range from 23% to 98%. When researchers examined the relationship between sociodemographic, psychological, and clinical characteristics with adherence, different or non-significant associations appeared between various factors and adherence. Social support frequently showed either a positive or no significant correlation with adherence.
Conclusion: This study's findings may help nurses boost the factors related to social support that contribute to successful functioning and consequent improvement in patient adherence.
A concepção de racionalidade científica no pensamento de Susan Haack
Authors: Dias Elizabeth De Assis 
Published: May 2022

Susan Haack tem como pretensão, em seus escritos, propor uma nova concepção de racionalidade cientifica que retrate a natureza da ciência e o seu modo de proceder. Neste sentido, sua intenção é superar certos impasses provenientes de duas posições, que considera como extremas, o “antigo deferencialismo” e o “novo cinismo”. Essas concepções têm em comum um mesmo modelo de racionalidade, que assimila o racional ao lógico. A primeira, o defende e a segunda procura negá-lo, ao dar ênfase aos aspectos históricos e sociais que condicionam a prática cientifica. Este trabalho tem por objetivo esclarecer o que a abordagem da filósofa trás de novo acerca de tal questão e em que medida procura superar os impasses das duas concepções, alvos de suas críticas. Iremos mostrar que ela defende uma concepção de racionalidade científica que se circunscreve nos limites do razoável, sem negar a dimensão social da ciência.
O problema das Alternativas Não Concebidas é eficaz contra a defesa abdutiva do realismo científico?
Authors: Esteves Renan Soares , Rodrigues Luís Filipe Estevinha 
Published: May 2022

O debate acerca do realismo científico trata da relação entre as nossas melhores teorias científicas e o mundo. Nesse debate, o que está em discussão é, sobretudo, se existe uma razão para acreditarmos que as partes de nossas teorias científicas que tratam de fenômenos e entidades inobserváveis se referem, ainda que de modo aproximado, a fenômenos e entidades reais. Diante disso, os realistas defendem a tese de que nossas melhores teorias científicas são aproximadamente verdadeiras. Em 1975, o filósofo Hilary Putnam propôs um argumento a favor do realismo científico, considerando que o realismo “(…) é a única filosofia que não faz do sucesso da ciência um milagre.” (PUTNAM, 1975, p. 73). Esse argumento ficou conhecido como o Argumento do Milagre, sendo parte da estratégia chamada de defesa abdutiva do realismo científico. Em seu livro Exceeding our grasp (2006), Kyle Stanford desenvolve o que considera como um novo desafio a essa estratégia de defesa realista. O objetivo do presente trabalho consiste em analisar se essa objeção de Stanford é plausível contra a defesa abdutiva do realismo científico.
An algorithmic method for the identification of wood species and the classification of post-consumer wood using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy

Published: May 2022

Abstract. In this contribution the frequency domain fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FD-FLIM) technique is evaluated for post-consumer wood sorting. The fluorescence characteristics of several wood samples were determined, whereby two excitation wavelengths (405 and 488 nm) were used. The measured data were processed using algorithmic methods to identify the wood species and post-consumer wood category. With the excitation wavelength of 405 nm, 16 out of 19 samples could be correctly assigned to the corresponding post-consumer wood category by means of the fluorescence lifetimes. Thus, the experimental results revealed the high potential of the FD-FLIM technique for automated post-consumer wood sorting.

Published: May 2022

В статье даны результаты анализа по исследованию КПД процесса нагревания перекрещивающихся стержней при применении контактной сварке. Выявлено, что чем больше время процесса сварки, тем уменьшался эффективный КПД нагрева при заданном токе. Также выявлено, что чем увеличен ток длительности сварки, то меньше получался эффективный КПД процесса нагрева. Средняя эффективная мощность генераторов теплоты будет возрастать по мере возрастания тока, при постоянных параметрах по длительности сварки. При увеличении времени сварки эффективная мощность будет падать. Чем больше будет значение тока при заданной длительности по времени сварки, тем уменьшалось значение эффективного коэффициента полезного действия при сварке.

Published: May 2022

Aircraft noise and methods of its reduction are considered. Brief information about noise sources and acceptable value are described. Regulatory documents, the noise standard established by ICAO are also considered. Recommendations for reducing aircraft noise are presented.
The whole body is susceptible to noise. Even at a relatively low, but constant noise level, a person may experience discomfort, irritability, and headaches. Especially dangerous is sudden noise that violates the psychological comfort of a person (takeoff and landing, areas of the route of supersonic aircraft).
The result of the specific effects of noise on the hearing organs are diseases such as sensorineural hearing loss, manifested by persistent hearing loss. The development of sensorineural hearing loss is associated with prolonged and regular levels of aircraft noise.
Pilots are exposed to this noise level, the noise level fluctuates in the range of 90-109 dB, and in the cockpits of helicopters - in the range of 100-118 dB.
Aircraft noise around airports and airways covers the entire area of ​​the territory, including the residential area. When the airport is close to the city, there are problems associated with a high level of aircraft noise, which creates discomfort for the human body.

Workplace bullying and employee turnover intention: a mediating role of organizational justice
Authors: Gawas Namdev M. 
Published: May 2022

Workplace bullying is a distal and indirect cause of employee turnover intention which in turn poses negative consequences for organizations. The present study investigated the mediating role of organizational justice on the relationship between workplace bullying and employee turnover intention. The major focus of this study is to explore the proposition that workplace bullying has a mediating effect on organizational justice in predicting employee turnover intention. Study findings support the role of organizational justice in mediating the relationship between bullying and turnover intention. Data from 207 employees from 10 leading BPOs in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region was taken. This study draws from several established theories including: (1) social exchange theory; (2) justice perspective; (3) emotional intelligence; (4) organizational commitment; and, (5) job satisfaction. Results suggest that it is important to pay attention to employees’ reactions towards organizational injustice as these reactions may affect not only their attitudes but also their behaviour.
Tax Policies in a Transition to a Knowledge-Based Economy: The Effective Tax Burden of Companies and Highly Skilled Labour
Authors: Spengel Christoph , Heckemeyer Jost H. , Fischer Leonie , Steinbrenner Daniela 
Published: May 2022

Globalization and the fast-approaching digitalization increase capital and labour mobility which fosters tax competition among countries worldwide. Based on a unique dataset, the authors have analysed the development of effective tax burdens on corporations and highly skilled labour for 26 countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) over the last decade. The synthesis of both indicators allows to identify tax strategies of the considered countries and further elaborate on the scope of future tax competition in the context of current developments. Overall, the authors ascertain a declining trend in effective tax burdens on corporate investments whereas increases in the top statutory tax rates for high-income earners and a rather constant average effective tax burden on labour for a disposable income of EUR 100,000 are observed. Current developments such as the agreement on a global minimum tax or the transition to a knowledge-based economy can establish a new lower bound to tax competition on corporate investments and might shift its focus.

Bulkbevoegdheden en strafrechtelijk onderzoek

Bulkbevoegdheden en strafrechtelijk onderzoek: lessen uit de jurisprudentie van het EHRM voor de normering van grootschalige data-analyse
Bulkbevoegdheden, zoals bulkinterceptie van communicatie en bulk-hacking, worden steeds vaker gebruikt, niet alleen in zaken van nationale veiligheid, maar ook in strafrechtelijke onderzoeken naar zware criminaliteit. De EncroChat-hack is daar een recent voorbeeld van. De vraag die echter nog moet worden beantwoord is: hoe moeten deze bevoegdheden, die tot grootschalige data-analyse in strafrechtelijke onderzoeken leiden, worden genormeerd zodat zij in overeenstemming zijn met artikel 8 EVRM? Twee recente arresten van het EHRM met betrekking tot bulkinterceptie bieden enkele lessen. Zij laten zien dat bulkbevoegdheden moeten worden beschouwd als een proces dat ‘end-to-end-waarborgen’ vereist en een gedetailleerde regulering van alle verwerkingsfasen, te weten de verzameling, de selectie, de analyse en het gebruik (waaronder het delen) van de data.
