COVID-19’s meso-scale impacts: exploring the perspectives of geoscience department chairs in California

Across the landscape of higher education, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused fundamental changes at a variety of scales. To understand which aspects of higher education instruction at the departmental (meso-scale) level were most and least impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, chairs of geoscience departments at public higher education institutions in California (n = 38) were surveyed on the pandemic’s impacts on teaching in their departments, and whether those changes persisted beyond Spring 2022. The shift to online teaching was the pandemic’s primary impact. The findings indicate that this shift was followed by significant direct and indirect impacts on a variety of departmental and instructional aspects, including assessment methods, course offerings, course structure and organization, enrollment, recruitment and outreach, and student learning, in both positive and negative ways. Conversely, the pandemic had relatively little impact on degree structure and course content. Key pedagogical changes include the increased use of Learning Management Systems (LMSs), non-exam assessment methods, and online and hybrid modalities. The results highlight the need for departmental and institutional support to mitigate negative effects on geoscience in-lab and in-field classes, equity and achievement gaps, graduate student needs, recruitment and outreach efforts, and department chair stress, mental health, and burnout. Continued health and resilience in geoscience departments requires that the pandemic’s negative impacts be identified, studied, and addressed by departments, institutions, and professional organizations. Analyzing effects at the meso-scale is an important part of a multi-faceted, multi-scalar assessment of the pandemic’s impacts on geoscience education.

A Review on Pre And Post Covid-19 Scenario of Indian Tourism

Tourism is a limitless industry with immense growth potential having clear remarkable positive impact on economic and social aspects of Indian economy. The span of two years period is one of the worst crises ever to hit the Indian tourism industry. As the news of the virus start picking up from November 2019, the percentage of cancellation started going up in this segment exponentially and is reaching peak of almost 80 per cent now in March 2020 in many Indian locations. The value of risk from this segment will be in multiples of tens of thousands of crores. The industry made some fundamental changes in the services of travel and hospitality. Thetourism sector in India needs a redoubled and renewed push for its revival in the post-covid world and tourism scenario in India is back in the groove. The paper is based on the based on the secondary data, particularly Government of India reports

PATTERNS OF INDIVIDUALS’ SECURITY-ORIENTED ECONOMIC BEHAVIOR UNDER THE RISK OF DISPLACEMENT IN BANI WORLD AND WAR CONDITIONS

Factors affecting economic behavior of a person are systematized, and the importance of education for the rationalization of economic decisions in the conditions of BANI World is characterized. It was established that the war had an impact on the economic behavior of Ukrainians, and two almost equal, but differently directed vectors of such an impact were clearly identified: a reduction in costs and an increase in costs to meet needs and realize economic interests. The respondents characterized their patterns of economic behavior as: 38% - active economic behavior; 22% - passive economic behavior; 40% - restrained economic behavior. Four main types of economic behavior in the conditions of BANI World, under the influence of war and the risk of displacement, are offered: emotional, episodic (active type, high level of irrationality); analytical, evaluative (restrained (active/passive) type, high level of rationality and effectiveness); strategic/tactical (passive type, focus on meeting needs in the future); search type - type focused on existing and potential opportunities (active type, diversification of goals, variability of behavior). The definition of the concept of "security-oriented economic behavior" is proposed - as such an algorithm for making an economic decision by a person, which aims to achieve and preserve its financial independence and develop its economic potential at the expense of existing or potentially available resources, which involves the assessment of information on which the possible the result of decision-making, analysis of alternatives, forecast of scenarios of expected results from an economic decision and consideration of risks when choosing the final option of economic action or inaction of a person in the specific conditions. It has been established that transformations of economic behavior under the influence of various challenges and threats, as well as taking into account the theory of generations, have led to a fundamental change in the focus of human economic behavior: middle-aged and elderly people choose a vision - what I have now and how to use it to meet existing needs; young people choose behavior in the context: what do I need and how to get it (at the expense of which resources, skills). Characterized patterns of economic behavior according to each characteristic of BANI World, taking into account the peculiarities of the wartime economy and the risk of displacement.

Investigating the Health Status of the Working Environment of Employees of the Islamic Republic of Iran News Network (IRINN) Using the Grounded Theory Method

Background: The employees of the IRINN are among the employees operating in the creative industries. Contrary to their important role, it seems necessary for them to benefit from favorable health conditions in their working environment. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the health of the work environment at IRINN. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2021 to August 2022 at the IRINN. The statistical population of the research consisted of 17 managers and editors from different sections of the news network who were interviewed as experts to identify the health components of the IRINN. After this, the collected information was coded and prioritized using the grounded theory method. Results: Three categories of components affecting the health of the working environment of the IRINN were identified in the open coding stage, which were classified into three related sub-categories. The highest frequency sub-category was related to the survey and field investigation, increasing productivity of the employees, and inappropriate building. In the axial coding stage, the components of the coding paradigm were identified and analyzed in six categories. In the selective coding stage, the validity of these relationships among the above-said categories was checked. Conclusions: Based on the results obtained from the grounded theory method, the conditions of the working environment at the IRINN require fundamental changes from the point of view of the building, management structure, health education programs, and, last but not least, modification of common practices.

Quo Vadis Amandemen Konstitusi: Kebijakan Hukum Partisipatif-Populis Versus Representatif-Elitis

Constitutional and governmental issues and problems occur by looking at the interests of the elite and the will of the people who want fundamental changes related to state life and government life which affect the overall life of a nation state. Indonesia is a very large nation state with a state government that is managed from Sabang to Merauke with various tribes, religions, races and groups that are full of diversity. State and government life is not free from various problems at the elitist and populist levels which are resolved by just and civilized constitutional and governmental mechanisms. One of the various ways to make changes to constitutional legal policy is by making constitutional amendments to the 1945 NRI Constitution. Constitutional amendments to the 1945 NRI Constitution can be seen in the elitist representative legal policy model and the participatory-populist legal policy model. The battle of issues and problems as well as solutions based on representative-elitist legal policy versus populist participatory legal policy will create positive things (constructive nation-building in all fields) and negative things (destructive constitutional movements that destroy the foundations of the unitary state). Anticipating the occurrence of negative things will make the constitutional amendment run smoothly and all parties can accept it openly.

Teacher Development for Equitable Mathematics Classrooms: Reflecting on Experience in the Context of Performativity

In this article, we chart the development of one of us—Sue Hough—from a teacher who wanted students to understand to one who gained new critical understandings of student thinking, pedagogy, and the very nature of mathematics. We comment on the role of research interventions and learning communities in this development, with a particular focus on Sue’s encounter with Realistic Mathematics Education and the connections it makes between informal and formal mathematics through the pedagogy of guided reinvention. Development towards teaching that enables all learners to make sense of mathematics requires fundamental changes in pedagogic practice and a reconceptualisation of progress. Bringing about such radical change relies on one further aspect of Sue’s story—the freedom to experiment and learn as a teacher. We note the remoteness of this possibility in a climate of performativity and marketised education, and we discuss the implications of Sue’s journey for our pedagogical responsibilities in professional development today.

Aging Workforce in the Context of Technological Advancements: Toward a Socio-Ecological Model

AbstractTechnological advancements continue to result in fundamental changes to the work itself and the workplace. Although these changes can create challenges for older workers, older workers can draw from individual and contextual resources to maintain and enhance their wellbeing, motivation, and capacities, and thus achieving successful aging at work. These articles in this special issue characterize the different psychological mechanisms underlying workers’ responses to technological changes in the workplace, such as automation, digitization, and use of information and communications technologies. Integrating the findings from these articles, along with the existing theoretical models of successful aging at work, we propose a socio-ecological approach to guide future research on older workers’ adaptation to technological changes.

Konwencja UNESCO o ochronie podwodnego dziedzictwa kulturowego z 2001 roku a prawo polskie. Postulaty de lege ferenda w zakresie regulacji wydobywania zabytków z morza

The aim of this article is to formulate de lege ferenda conclusions that result from Poland’s ratification of the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage. After a brief analysis of the principles of this Convention and comparing them with the relevant provisions of Polish Law, the author proposes five fundamental changes that should be made to this Law for greater effectiveness. These concern, in particular, the regulation of archaeological research, including the procedures intended for foreign entities and the participation of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage. Moreover, the article addresses the exclusion of the application at sea of the provisions on the search for „hidden or abandoned movable monuments” and the search for „shipwrecks and their remains”. Finally, it recommends moving the procedure for „searching shipwrecks” to the statutory level and unambiguously defining the legal status of monuments extracted from the sea, which according to the Convention „cannot be traded”.

Digital economy and inclusive green growth: The moderating effect of government environmental regulation.

As digital economy flourishes, there have been fundamental changes in the patterns of economic development, social structure, and ecological environment, which are the key elements of inclusive green growth (IGG). However, whether digital economy can effectively contribute to IGG requires further investigation. This paper evaluates the direct and spatial spillover effect of digital economy on IGG of 280 cities in China during 2011-2019 using Spatial Durbin Model (SDM). It further explores how government environmental regulation (GER) moderates this facilitating effect. The empirical results show that digital economy significantly reinforces IGG while GER weakens the benefits of digital economy to IGG. There is a significant spatial spillover effect of digital economy on IGG in neighboring regions; specifically, IGG in peripheral cities is more significantly encouraged by digital economy than in central cities. In addition, digital development demonstrates the most significant impact on IGG in central regions of China, followed by the eastern regions, with western regions lagging behind. This paper contributes theoretically and empirically to promote digital economy selectively for IGG in different regions and provides a guideline for policymakers to achieve IGG through proper GER.

Dynamics Relationship of ASEAN-Financial Center Stock Market Valuation: A Cointegration Study

"This study investigates dynamic relationship of stock market valuation between ASEAN and financial center. Dynamic relations between stock market valuation reflects fundamental changes in stock that are driven by common global factors across markets. We model the relations in form of error correction model using two popular valuation proxies: Price to Earnings (PE) and Price to Book value (PB) with growth differential, inflation differential and global policy uncertainty index as the control variables. We estimate the model using the methodology developed by Kripfganz and Scheneider (2018) on a monthly dataset of 5 ASEAN countries and 4 financial centers between March 2010 to December 2021. We find positive and highly significant long-run relations and error correction mechanisms between ASEAN stock market valuation and those of financial center. The pattern is quite varied at country level perhaps due to country specific characteristics."

The Changing Landscape of Scholarly Publishing (in Finance) – An Author’s view

This note originated as part of the author’s regular research publishing activity. The author’s and colleagues’ experiences suggested broadening the usual examination of potential outlets. What we encountered was not “more of the same” from previous searches for outlets but very significant fundamental changes in the academic/scholarly publishing landscape. We first review the standard research process in the context of academic tenure and promotions. The we proceed to identify and enumerate potential publishing outlets, which we further classify into groups reflecting these critical differences meaningful for academic authors and their supervisors: nature of the outlet (for profit, not for profit; commercial, academic, and professional), open versus restricted access, peer-reviewing, and nature of the final article depository. What we consider the usual way to go about publishing shows many disruptions that do not benefit authors, such as major (commercial) publishers favoring a certain type of article and engaging in massive desk-rejection practices as well as less powerful publishers either closing down or imposing restrictions (words, reviewers), with serious unintended consequences. The traditional scholarly publishing model of requiring a given number of articles every x years may have become unsustainable, as it is extremely expensive and does not favor disinterested research. On the plus side, we find increasing publishing opportunities for authors, but these alternative opportunities might imply decisions that do not fit the traditional evaluation approach and might require innovative agreements between faculty and their academic supervisors.

Determinants of Capital Formation in Agriculture: A Case Study of Dimapur District of Nagaland, India

"The formation of capital through investment in agriculture helps build up the stock of capital assets and resources that enable the farmers to utilize their resources, particularly land and labour, more efficiently. The present study includes a total sample of 200 farm households consisting of marginal, small, medium, and large farmers from Dimapur District of Nagaland, selected through a three-stage stratified sampling technique for the year 2020-21. Using multiple regression technique assessed the factors that affect the capital investment at the farm level. The coefficient of determinant (R2) value reveals that the model as good fit. Many factors influence the formation of capital in agriculture, among which family income (in `), working members (in number), and cropping intensity (in %) have positive influence. Unlike popular studies, the operational holding (in acres) has shown negative influence. Further, the age and education of the head of a family show no influence. There is a pressing need for fundamental change in the strategy to raise the resources and income of the farmer and accordingly accelerate the pace of capital formation in agriculture through targeting investment in irrigation, land development, and other infrastructure development."

Historical Types of Folklore Thinking in the Lyrical Songs of Sloboda Ukraine

The aim of the article is to identify historical types of folklore thinking: the modal-tune and integration-melodic types in song lyrics based on the folk song tradition of Sloboda Ukraine. Results. The figurative content of archetypes of folklore thinking is expressed by rhythmic and melodic codes as a sound embodiment of symbolic and logical figures of thinking. In the process of development, they were assigned to certain song forms and acquired features of functional differentiation into ritual, epic, and lyrical with a predominance of a certain modality: exclamatory, persuasive, and later narrative. On the basis of the narrative modality, which prevails in the genre of lyrical songs and ballads, the lyrical mode of thinking emerges within the local folklore environment. Song examples representing the drawling type of chanting of lyrical songs can be attributed to the modal-tune type of folklore thinking. The integration-melodic type of folklore thinking is characterised by fundamental changes in the process of musical development based on logical figures of grouping and classification. The transfer of the main function to the highest solo voice, the concentration of the intonation content in it, affected the creation of melody. The scientific novelty consists in substantiating the modal-tune and integration-melodic types of folklore thinking on the material of the song lyrics of Sloboda Ukraine. Conclusions. Lyrical songs of modal-tune type create the song stanza by alternating autonomous song segments caesurated according to the logic of musical development. In the chants of integration-melodic types, the highest voice of sub-chant polyphonic structure acquires the properties of a melody thanks to the concentration of the intonation content and the character of the caesura. The structure of the chant becomes more symmetrical, with the features of a responsive stanza.

The development of the status of Druze women in the 21st century.

This article analyzes the social, personal, and religious reasons for the change in the status of Druze women in Israel. In the 1970s, the first wave of female Druze teachers began when a class intended only for women was opened. In the last 20 years, there has been a fundamental change in the status of women, followed by a change in the status of women in Israel in general. This change resulted in an increase in the percentage of female Druze students compared with male Druze students. According to data from the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics, in 2020, 68% of all Druze B. Undergraduatestudents and 64.8% of M.A students were Druze women. This increase has affected the various professions in which Druze women work. This article will also discuss the effect of the change in the status of Druze women on Druze society in general.

A truncated mean-parameterized Conway-Maxwell-Poisson model for the analysis of Test match bowlers

A truncated, mean-parameterized Conway-Maxwell-Poisson model is developed to handle under- and overdispersed count data owing to individual heterogeneity. The truncated nature of the data allows for a more direct implementation of the model than is utilized in previous work without too much computational burden. The model is applied to a large dataset of Test match cricket bowlers, where the data are in the form of small counts and range in time from 1877 to the modern day, leading to the inclusion of temporal effects to account for fundamental changes to the sport and society. Rankings of sportsmen and women based on a statistical model are often handicapped by the popularity of inappropriate traditional metrics, which are found to be flawed measures in this instance. Inferences are made using a Bayesian approach by deploying a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm to obtain parameter estimates and to extract the innate ability of individual players. The model offers a good fit and indicates that there is merit in a more sophisticated measure for ranking and assessing Test match bowlers.

Towards high-strength, high-ductility ferritic steels: Pathways to overcome the “475 °C embrittlement” in spinodally decomposed Fe-40Cr alloy

Fe–Cr is a model alloy for ferritic steels used in thermal power generation systems and envisaged as primary structural material for future fusion reactors. However, upon heating and, further, under irradiation, Fe–Cr can suffer from phase decomposition leading to the formation of Fe-rich and Cr-rich regions that induce simultaneous hardening and embrittlement. In this study, we examine the origins of the degradation in mechanical properties by performing room-temperature in situ micropillar compression tests on single-crystalline Fe–40wt.%Cr alloys in solid solution, and in the spinodally decomposed state obtained after annealing at 500 °C for 1008 and 2016 h, respectively. The compressed micropillars are subjected to correlative nanoscale structural characterization using transmission electron backscattered diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Dislocation slip occurs unequivocally on the {110}〈11¯1〉 slip system for all conditions. While the 2016 h annealed state exhibits a more evolved nanoscale phase modulation than the 1008 h annealed condition, both microstructures display approximately double the yield strength of the solid-solution state without any concurrent loss of ductility. Our findings reveal a fundamental change in plasticity mechanism across the three different microstructures. Deformation in the solid-solution state is associated with kink-mediated local plasticity occurring on multiple glide systems, which activate sequentially based upon the largest instantaneous Schmid factor. This gradually transforms into a less localized Lüders-band like plasticity associated with single-slip activation in the 1008 h annealed state, while the deformation in the 2016 h annealed state is marked by uniform strain hardening related to a homogeneous polycrystalline-like dislocation motion occurring simultaneously on multiple slip systems. Correlations between the spatial and compositional fluctuations in Cr and the associated plasticity dynamics are established. It is shown that the spatial fluctuations in Cr strongly influence dislocation strengthening and the relative mobility of the edge and screw components across all microstructural states. It is further concluded that the phase-separation effect, despite promoting strengthening, does not act as the primary cause of embrittlement, but rather plays a contrary role of enhancing ductility.
