Interações sensíveis e inteligíveis em uma plataforma de aprendizagem digital: uma abordagem semiótica
Authors: Bueno Alexandre Marcelo , Vasconcellos Alessandro Itokazu 
Published: November 2022

As plataformas educacionais de ensino proporcionam acesso ao conhecimento formal e, ao mesmo tempo, a uma diversificação nos temas e nos modos de aprendizado, uma vez que poderá se valer de variados mecanismos que considerar pertinente em um único espaço digital. Este trabalho tem por objetivo examinar a plataforma Me Salva! a partir do quadro teórico e metodológico da semiótica de linha francesa. Em especial, este trabalho recorre ao regime de interações e sentidos elaborado por Eric Landowski como ponto de partida para análise da plataforma, tomando como ponto de vista o sujeito-estudante. Dividimos nossa análise em dois grandes blocos: um referente à dimensão inteligível da significação e outro referente à dimensão sensível do sentido. Constatou-se que, no discurso da plataforma, predomina a realização de interações programadas, na medida em que há toda uma automatização necessária para que o sujeito-estudante possa acessar o conteúdo da plataforma. Contudo, há também outras possibilidades interacionais na mesma plataforma, como a manipulação que a marca realiza para que se compre pacotes, assim como uma relação de ajustamento, em uma dimensão mais sensível dessa relação plataforma e sujeito-estudante. Pudemos, assim, observar como o sujeito-estudante, na plataforma, tem ao menos dois grandes caminhos a trilhar em sua relação com o plano de expressão da plataforma. Esperamos que os postulados teóricos mais recentes da semiótica possam contribuir com a discussão sobre metodologia e modos de interagir com o intuito de otimizar o desempenho dos alunos.

THE NIGERIAN SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL LANDSCAPE: WITHER THE CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS
Authors: Egbon Peter Chukwuyem  , Obi Callistar Kidochukwu  
Published: November 2022

The socio-economic and political landscape of Nigeria, is replete with, corruption, poverty, unemployment, insecurity and poor governance. A combination of the aforementioned issues are capable of crippling investments and ensure declining growth in the economy. How would the Chartered Accountants help in salvaging the situation? Given that the Chartered Accountants are 'numbers people' and are capable of reducing 'everything concerning any economy’ to numbers, perhaps, the answer may be in the affirmative. But, given the recent and trending allegation levelled against the now suspended Accountant-General of Nigeria(AGN), who will " police the police "? The main argument of this paper, therefore, is that, not even the Chartered Accountants alone can enhance public sector accountability in Nigeria, without the supporting role of all stakeholders, including other professionals. On the part of government, institutional strengthening is a key part of a country's anti-corruption strategies. Strengthening, through reforms in the judiciary, the anti-corruption agencies and good living wages for civil servants will do it. Given the complex and interconnected world, tackling the aforementioned socio-economic and political issues requires strong collaboration and commitment from the public, private and regulatory authorities.

Peer Support Programs for Youth Mental Health

Published: November 2022

We conducted a Health Technology Assessment (HTA) to inform decisions related to the adoption, implementation, and evaluation of peer support programs for youth mental health. This HTA consisted of consultations with youth advisors (peer support users and workers), a systematic review of the available evidence on the clinical effectiveness and safety of peer support interventions for youth with mental health concerns (compared with interventions without peer support), and an Environmental Scan of peer support program evaluations.
Youth recognize the value of peer support in their mental health recovery and wellness, and they view peer support as an accessible, convenient, and safe mental health resource. They also highlight the importance of representation and involvement of youth with diverse backgrounds and experiences across the design and evaluation of peer support programs to ensure equity, diversity, and inclusion.
In the Clinical Review, we found that formal peer support programs (i.e., trained peer support workers based at structured community- or health clinic–based organizations provide support to peer support users) might help a young person feel more comfortable to share information about their mental health issue and ask for help. The authors of 2 randomized controlled trials we identified found that compared to no peer support, peer support may improve youth’s attitudes toward disclosure of mental illness, distress related to that disclosure, and help-seeking behaviour. However, overall, only a small amount of low-quality evidence (due to risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness, and imprecision) is available. Therefore, it is very uncertain whether peer support programs are more effective at supporting an individual in their recovery compared to programs without a peer support component. In addition, the safety of peer support programs is currently unknown (no research evidence was found).
Our Environmental Scan did not identify formal guidelines or best practices for evaluating peer support programs; however, we found some common evaluation approaches among programs. These approaches include focusing on recovery-oriented outcomes, involving youth throughout the evaluation (to ensure relevance), and tailoring the evaluation to reflect the local program context.
When considering implementation of peer support programs for youth mental health, decision-makers may wish to allocate resources for ongoing program evaluation. Strengthened program evaluations can improve the understanding of the benefits and maximize the effectiveness of peer support programs. In addition, practice-based evidence from the evaluation of peer support programs can be used to further support the design and implementation of appropriate, equitable, and culturally competent programs.

Abstract. Volatile chemical products (VCPs) and other non-combustion-related sources
have become important for urban air quality, and bottom-up calculations
report emissions of a variety of functionalized compounds that remain
understudied and uncertain in emissions estimates. Using a new instrumental
configuration, we present online measurements of oxygenated organic
compounds in a US megacity over a 10 d wintertime sampling period, when
biogenic sources and photochemistry were less active. Measurements were
conducted at a rooftop observatory in upper Manhattan, New York City, USA
using a Vocus chemical ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer, with
ammonium (NH4+) as the reagent ion operating at 1 Hz. The range of
observations spanned volatile, intermediate-volatility, and semi-volatile
organic compounds, with targeted analyses of ∼150 ions, whose
likely assignments included a range of functionalized compound classes such
as glycols, glycol ethers, acetates, acids, alcohols, acrylates, esters,
ethanolamines, and ketones that are found in various consumer, commercial,
and industrial products. Their concentrations varied as a function of wind
direction, with enhancements over the highly populated areas of the Bronx,
Manhattan, and parts of New Jersey, and included abundant concentrations of
acetates, acrylates, ethylene glycol, and other commonly used oxygenated
compounds. The results provide top-down constraints on wintertime emissions
of these oxygenated and functionalized compounds, with ratios to common
anthropogenic marker compounds and comparisons of their relative abundances
to two regionally resolved emissions inventories used in urban air quality
models.
Qualitative and quantitative monitoring of drinking water through the use of a smart electronic tongue
Authors: Arrieta Alvaro A. , Marquez Said , Mendoza Jorge 
Published: November 2022

Abstract. The aim of this work was to evaluate a smart electronic tongue device as an alternative for qualitative and quantitative monitoring of drinking water. The smart electronic tongue consisted of a voltametric polypyrrole sensor array, linked with a multi-channel electronic system (multipotentiostat) based on PSoC (programable system on chip) technology controlled by a smartphone with a data acquisition and control app. This device was used in the monitoring of drinking water from the Sincelejo city water supply system; also, water samples collected and analyzed by the public health agency were used. The voltammetric measurements carried out with the smart electronic tongue showed cross-sensitivity of the polypyrrole sensor array, which allowed the discrimination of the samples through of principal component analysis by artificial neural networks. In addition, the voltammetric signals registered with the smart electronic tongue allowed, through partial least square (PLS) by artificial neural networks analysis, estimating the concentrations of some important analytes in the evaluation of the physicochemical quality of drinking water with R2 values higher than 0.70. The results allowed to conclude that the smart electronic tongue can be a valuable analytical tool that allows, in a single measure, to perform qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis (alkalinity, calcium, residual chlorine, chlorides, total hardness, phosphates, magnesium, and sulfates), it is also a fast, portable method that can complement traditional analyzes.
Narrating Individual and Cultural Identity in Julian Barnes’s England, England
Authors: Dr. Pradip Kumar Yadav  
Published: November 2022

The conception of culture and identity has seen variations with the passage of time. Postmodern writers and thinkers do not consider them fixed or stable entities but fluid and fragmented. In the past they were treated as centered and fixed but in present conflicting scenario they are supposed to be decentered and deconstructed. In postmodern world, when each and everything is tinted with the effect of science and technology, contemporary generation is imbibing a new spirit of materialism. The more they are developing with the help of technology the less they are finding solution and satisfaction. Advancement of science and technology has coloured each and every object of contemporary era and projected them as mere objects of marketisation. This comodification and marketisation of objects has reached to such level that everything has lost its original meaning and value. It becomes obvious that culture and identity are not untouched by this effect. The more we are advancing towards technological development the more we are losing the original ground of ancient meaning and value. Julian Barnes entertains and mocks this idea in his novel England, England in which Barnes’s ambitious mission is search for individual identity of the English characters and cultural identity of England.
Reentering the Aspects of Eco-feminist Responsiveness in Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye
Authors: Vipul Kumar Singh  , Dr. Sunita Rai  
Published: November 2022

Human beings are supposed to be the gifted creations of the universe in which many more creations are also found. There is a reciprocal or mutual relationship among them. This relationship has been variously defined to be one of the most powerful sensibilities of this universe. Such sensibilities of these creations and co-relations among them can be seen hither and thither which has been rightly defined and recognized as the ecological relations of the species. The concept ecofeminism with its multifaced dimensions is one of them. It is studied in the growth of ecological relations of the women and the environmental happenings all over the world. The present research article attempts to reconnoiter the combination of environment with the creativities and relative coherence of women in Toni Morrison’s well-known novel, The Bluest Eye.
Ethnic Identity and Cultural Assimilation in M. G. Vassanji’s No New Land
Authors: M. Pon Ganthimathi  , Dr. S. Veeralakshmi  
Published: November 2022

Colonialism makes a large set of people from South Asia migrate to Africa. People from India are used as a man power for railway line construction in Africa. After the end of colonialism, these migrated people became competitors to Africans in employment. Africans start treating them harshly. So, they are forced to migrate once again to America or to Canada. M. G. Vassanji’s No New Land starts with the second migration of people from South Asia to Canada. Because of this second migration, these people want to make sure their connection to their culture and to their ethnicity. Their apartment in Canada looks like a mini version of Dar es Salaam. They try to stick to their Indianness in the midst of a completely strange culture. However, their kids who do not have any immediate connection with their culture start assimilating the new culture and way of living. This paper aims at projecting the plight of South Asian immigrants in Canada.

Authors: Sarmiento-Terreros José 
Published: November 2022

Resumen
La política subsidiaria, ha provocado serios problemas económicos para el Estado y la sociedad en general, el gobierno destina montos importantes al subsidio, el presente documento busca la focalización del subsidio al gas licuado de petróleo en el Ecuador, para el primero y segundo quintil de la población, lo realiza definiéndolo en términos técnicos y de conveniencia para la mayoría de los ecuatorianos, mediante el análisis de la evolución de una serie de datos correspondientes a los años 2002 – 2022, a fin de entender los antecedentes que ha tenido la inversión pública en las variables subsidios y población, con información obtenida a través de fuentes oficiales. Se demuestra que la mayor parte del Gas Licuado de Petróleo (76.10%) es importado y también la injusta distribución que se da al beneficio del subsidio, pues de los 768,660 millones, asignados para el año 2022, se estima que solamente 169,105 millones benefician a casi la mitad de la población, que está ubicada en los dos primeros quintiles de la población, mientras que los 599,554 millones, es decir la diferencia, se beneficia la población que está en la posibilidad de asumir el costo real de este producto.

Para el recojo de datos se empleó la encuesta, mediante el uso de dos escalas valorativas. Entre sus resultados se encontró que los factores de transporte público de pasajeros son valorados en un nivel regular con tendencia a malo. A su vez, la calidad del servicio de transporte es percibida como medianamente satisfactoria. Concluyendo que, los factores referidos al conductor, a los vehículos, los reguladores y a los usuarios son determinantes para brindar un servicio de transporte de pasajeros de calidad. Lo que implica la existencia de una discrepancia entre las expectativas del servicio que tiene el pasajero y la percepción del servicio recibido.
Gudina Tumsa’s Contributions to Theology
Authors: Jodock Darrell 
Published: November 2022

Gudina’s way of doing theology is important because it is both contextual and universal. The dynamics are universal, the focus on relationality is universal, the holistic emphasis is universal, while at the same time these dynamics intentionally take seriously the here and now of particular individuals and particular peoples and engage their specific social settings so seriously that the end result turns out to be deeply contextual--but contextual in a way that does not set one part of the church against another. There can still be a common witness to the centrality of the power and presence of Christ and the ongoing activity of God in the world.
The kind of theology Gudina practiced continues to be of great value for all who confess the Christian faith, today and on into the future. We honor him best by appreciating and learning from his theology.
