Researching In/Visibilities and Data Practices in Education

What is made in/visible in datafied educational settings? How are in/visibilities entangled with data practices in schooling? In this contribution, we provide an overview of recent literature on digital technologies and datafication of education and consider four kinds of interrelations between in/visibilities and data practices: decontextualisation, in/visibilising of data work, black-boxing, and fore- or backgrounding. Scoping some examples of research that capture aspects of invisibility and visibility, we reflect on conceptual and methodological underpinnings of how to study in/visibilities and data practices in education.

Fear of COVID-19 and green bank service purchase intention: the mediating effect of customer empowerment and customers’ perceived value of digital service transactions

PurposeThe paper intends to show the role of fear of COVID-19 and the relevance of customer empowerment (CU_EMP) and customers’ perceived value of digital service transactions (CU_PV_DST) in promoting green bank service purchase intention (GBS_PI), despite the antagonistic impacts brought in other sectors and the relevance of customer empowerment (CU_EMP) and customers’ perceived value of digital service transactions (CU_PV_DST) as important mediating variables of the relation.Design/methodology/approachThe structured questionnaire helped collect survey data from 323 small business people. The model relationship was assessed through EFA, CFA by SPSS-AMOS and SEM using bootstrapping procedures in Smart-PLS.FindingsThe findings of this study show that there is a significant effect of fear of COVID-19 pandemic (F_COVID-19P) on CU_EMP and GBS_PI. CU_EMP influences GBS_PI, whereas F_COVID-19P influences GBS_PI indirectly via CU_EMP. Furthermore, there is a substantial effect of F_COVID-19P on CU_PV_DST and GBS_PI. Thus, F_COVID-19P significantly influences GBS_PI indirectly via CU_PV_DST.Practical implicationsCapitalizing on the COVID-19 wave by empowering customers technologically, improving the legal framework and increasing the perceived value of green service by using an innovative mechanism. In addition, fostering cultural change and emphasizing altruistic values through green advertisements have been explored in this study.Social implicationsGreen services are healthier for smart/green economy and are health-protective for coping with health risks.Originality/valueThis study helps in understanding the theories used in this context by linking them to F_COVID-19P with CU_EMP, CU_PV_DST and GBS_PI and contributes to the literature of both. Furthermore, this is the only study that has used SEM to study this kind of interrelation.

Constitutional and Legal Aspects of the Use of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland Against Non-military Threats

The objective of this article is to point to legal foundations of the crisis management system and to specify principles it is built on, its actors, their competences, mechanisms of cooperation and coordination and principles for financing crisis management tasks. The author places special emphasis on the need to observe human rights and freedoms in the context of actions taken by the state that aim to ensure security and to create an effective crisis management system. The starting point for this discussion is an assumption that security-related problems affect the entire society whereby this society has the right and obligation to participate in efforts to ensure security. At the same time, institutional mechanisms of ensuring security only use participation of institutions by various kinds of interrelations and support. This article shows certain mechanisms of building national security by state bodies and institutions that are responsible for it and competent to respond in crisis situations. How-ever, the exegesis covers participation of the armed forces and legal aspects of employing the Polish Armed Forces in the event of non-military threats.

Impact of Covid19 on the development of digital service capability for value co-creation: a mediating role of service ecosystem self-adjustment

PurposeThis study aims to examine the impact of Covid19 on service ecosystem self-adjustment (SES_SA) and additionally to explore the mediating role of SES_SA on the relationship between the Covid19 pandemic and the development of digital service capability (DD_SC).Design/methodology/approachData were drawn from 384 business people with the help of a survey questionnaire. The interrelation of the model was examined with the help of structural equation modeling (SEM) using bootstrapping measures in Smart-partial least square (PLS). Three constructs (Covid19, DD_SC and SES_SA) were found with the help of exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Convergent and discriminant validity were obtained through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using statistical package for the social sciences-analysis of a moment structures (SPSS-AMOS)-V.23.FindingsThere is a substantial impact of Covid19 on SES_SA and DD_SC. The investigation also discovered that SES_SA significantly impact DD_SC, whereas, Covid19 impact DD_SC indirectly through SES_SA. Age has a significant favorable influence on fear of Covid19.Research limitations/implicationsThere is scant literature linking SES_SA and the DD_SC.Practical implicationsThe study promotes understanding of the contribution of Covid19 and SES_SA in the DD_SC among business people to enhance value co-creation. Capitalizing on DD_SC will enhance customer experience, assist customers in decision-making, and foster digital economic growth.Originality/valueIt enlightens on the digital capabilities needed for creating and co-creating value. Most studies in this area are qualitative/conceptually based and have not studied this kind of interrelation. Hence, it’s the only quantitative study that has examined the inter-relations among Covid19, SES_SA and DD_SC using SEM. This study also offers comprehension of all theories used in this context by relating Covid19 effects to DD_SC.

“Tamo junto?” Parlamentares e mídias sociais: uma tipologia dos padrões de atuação de deputados federais no facebook

O presente artigo busca desenvolver uma tipologia sobre a apropriação que os deputados fazem do Facebook, e o tipo de inter-relação desenvolvida com os cidadãos, aqui denominada de ciber-base. Para isso foram construídos dois índices: o Índice de Ativação Parlamentar e o Índice de Ativação da Ciber-Base, elaborados por meio da análise das postagens e dos comentários recebidos nas páginas de Facebook de 20 deputados federais, em um intervalo de uma semana. Observa-se a existência de quatro tipos ideais de padrões de relacionamento dos parlamentares com a ciber-base nessa mídia social: 1) páginas de alto desempenho político; 2) páginas de médio desempenho político em que só o parlamentar ativa; 3) páginas de médio desempenho político em que só a ciber-base ativa e 4) páginas de baixo desempenho político. Esse estudo contribui para entendermos mais como se dá o processo de inter-conexão entre representantes e representados mediada pelo Facebook.
 Palavras-Chave: representação política; internet; Facebook; deputados; padrões de atuação.

Parallel Semi-Supervised Big Data Clustering Based on Mapreduce Technology

In the area of information technology, a speedy sensational technology is big data. Big data brings tremendous challenges to extract valuable hidden knowledge. Data mining techniques can be used over big data to extract valuable knowledge for decision making. Big data results in high heterogeneity because it consists of various inter-related kinds of objects such as audios, texts, and images. In addition to this, the inter-related kinds of objects carry different information. So, in this paper clustering techniques are introduced to separate objects into several clusters. It also reduces the computational complexity of classifiers. A Possibilistic c-Means (PCM) algorithm was introduced to group the objects in big data. PCM replicated the characteristic of each object to different clusters effectively and it had capability to avoid the corruption of noise in the clustering process. However, PCM is not more efficient for big data and it cannot confine the complex correlation over multiple modalities of the heterogeneous data objects. So, a Parallel Semi-supervised Multi-Ant Colonies Clustering (PSMACC) is introduced for big data clustering. Initially, the PSMACC splits the data into number of partitions and each partition is processed in mappers. Each mapper generates a diverse collection of three clustering components using the semi-supervised ant colony clustering algorithm with various moving speeds. Then, a hyper graph model was used to combine three clustering components. Finally, two constraints such as Must-Link (ML) and Cannot-Link (CL) are included to form a consensus clustering. Finally, the intermediate results of each mapper are combined in the reducer. However, the overhead of iteration in PSMACC is overwhelming which affects the performance of PSMACC. So, a Parallel Semi-supervised Multi-Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (PSMICA) is proposed to cluster the big data. In PSMICA, each mapper processes the ICA where initial population is called countries. Some of the best countries in the population chosen as the imperialists and the remaining countries form the colonies of these imperialists. The colonies move towards the imperialists based on the distance between them. The intermediate results of each mapper are combined in reducer to get the final clustering result.

Organizational and Pedagogical Conditions of Preschool Educational Institution and Family Partnership in the Republic of Poland

The theoretical ideas are systematized and the experience of partnership of the preschool institution and the family in bringing up children in the Republic of Poland is generalized. On the basis of normative and legal documents the priority of partnership interaction between preschool institutions and the family in the concept of the modern national educational policy of the Republic of Poland was argued. The methodological principles of partnership as a kind of interrelations between teachers and parents are substantiated, which consists of the common purpose and actions, equality of rights and responsibilities to children, their education and personal formation. The components of the partnership (intellectual, emotional, volitional, behavioral, valuable), principles of its realization (mutual trust, recognition of rights and competence, positive motivation, loyalty, commonality of actions, information exchange, activity) are characterized. The technique of effective communication and understanding between educational partners is presented; the purpose and content of the partnership of modern preschool institutions and family in the Republic of Poland are specified (parents’ integration in the pedagogical process for the child's support). The organizational forms of interaction between teachers and parents are classified on the basis of different criteria; there is systematized the competence of teachers and the resource of parents as partners in the upbringing of the child. The prospects of creative use of Polish experience in the theory and practice of preschool education in Ukraine are outlined.

The Choice Of Rational Relationship Of The Method And Forms Of Construction Organization

Features of the activities of the mobile units in remote and underdeveloped areas are considered. The interconnected spheres of their activity – labor, production, non-production, engineering – are allocated. Their most specific characteristics which together are effectively implemented through the formulated principles (ensuring the continuity of the investment process, minimizing the cost of heavy manual labor, etc.) are presented. But for this, mobile forms of work organization must be compatible with the methods of organizing the objects building. Based on the experience of oil and gas construction under the conditions of the North and Siberia, such a clear relationship between the factory-assembled method and mobile forms is revealed, as a result of which high indicators are achieved – a reduction in the volume of construction, a reduction in the area of construction, etc. The same results were confirmed in the construction of quite complicated industrial complexes on the example of Astrakhan gas processing plant. This is exactly a kind of interrelation between the method and the form of construction organization that should become the basis when developing regions with severe climatic conditions.

The Framing of Kirchnerism Among Jewish Ethnic Entrepreneurs: a Case of the Interrelation Between Ethnicity and Politics

The paper aims at contributing to the studies on religion and politics in Latin America by analyzing the interrelations between Judaism and Kirchnerism in Argentina. In order to accomplish its objectives, the author analyzes the discursive production of ethnicity in both the Llamamiento Argentino Judio and Jewish newspaper Comunidades. These two cases have been chosen because of their placement in opposing sides of the political spectrum. While the Llamamiento sustains Kirchnerist governments, Comunidades expresses a kind of interrelation between Judaism and politics that we have called ethnic anti-Kirchnerism. The study of these processes allows us to reflect on several issues such as: (1) Jewish integration into the national society, (2) the relevance of Jewish affairs in the Argentinean political setting, and (3) the relevance of available political identities in the making of the Jewish field.

Traditions of Early Human Groups in Baja California and Possible Routes for the Peopling of the Peninsula

Ideas concerning the initial peopling of the Baja California Peninsula have dramatically changed in recent decades. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the native inhabitants of the southern part of the Baja California Peninsula were believed by some to have come from Melanesia, based on the perceived similarity in skull morphology. Since the middle of the 20th century, most researchers propose that initial populations entered from the north by land, bringing with them 2 distinct cultural traditions. The first wave was thought to have been an incursion of Paleoindians with Clovis-type fluted points. The second wave refers to groups who occupied ancient lake shores, such as Laguna Seca Chapala, and who were considered as belonging to the Western Pluvial Lakes (WPL) tradition. Eventually people moved down to the southern tip of the peninsula, pushed by subsequent groups. The entry of human groups from the Mexican mainland across the islands in the central Gulf of California has also been suggested; early entries by other groups have been proposed as well. A migration from Australia to the Cape Region across the southern Pacific has also been argued. This paper summarizes recent archaeological evidence from radiocarbon dates, geomorphological settings, subsistence strategies, and material types and technologies indicating that Paleocoastal migrants may have reached the Cape Region during the Terminal Pleistocene. However, some of the early lithic artifacts and technologies in the Cape Region show similarities to the WPL tradition, such as leaf-shaped points, an eccentric crescent, and end and side scrapers. This evidence suggests that perhaps a Paleocoastal group and a WPL group reached the southern part of the peninsula at around the same time and that they had some kind of interrelation that is reflected in their lifestyles and materials, which were principally adapted to coastal life.

Core and Ancillary Epistemic Virtues

We argue, primarily by appeal to phenomenological considerations related to the experiential aspects of agency, that belief fixation is broadly agentive; although it is rarely (if ever) voluntary, nonetheless, it is phenomenologically agentive because of its significant phenomenological similarities to voluntary-agency experience. An important consequence is that epistemic rationality, as a central feature of belief fixation, is an agentive notion. This enables us to introduce and develop a distinction between core and ancillary epistemic virtues. Core epistemic virtues involve several inter-related kinds of epistemic rationality in belief fixation. Other “habits of mind” pertinent to belief fixation constitute ancillary epistemic virtues. Finally, we discuss the relationship between both kinds of virtues, offering a unified account of epistemic virtuousness.

Determining Fuzzy Membership for Sentiment Classification: A Three-Layer Sentiment Propagation Model.

Enormous quantities of review documents exist in forums, blogs, twitter accounts, and shopping web sites. Analysis of the sentiment information hidden in these review documents is very useful for consumers and manufacturers. The sentiment orientation and sentiment intensity of a review can be described in more detail by using a sentiment score than by using bipolar sentiment polarity. Existing methods for calculating review sentiment scores frequently use a sentiment lexicon or the locations of features in a sentence, a paragraph, and a document. In order to achieve more accurate sentiment scores of review documents, a three-layer sentiment propagation model (TLSPM) is proposed that uses three kinds of interrelations, those among documents, topics, and words. First, we use nine relationship pairwise matrices between documents, topics, and words. In TLSPM, we suppose that sentiment neighbors tend to have the same sentiment polarity and similar sentiment intensity in the sentiment propagation network. Then, we implement the sentiment propagation processes among the documents, topics, and words in turn. Finally, we can obtain the steady sentiment scores of documents by a continuous iteration process. Intuition might suggest that documents with strong sentiment intensity make larger contributions to classification than those with weak sentiment intensity. Therefore, we use the fuzzy membership of documents obtained by TLSPM as the weight of the text to train a fuzzy support vector machine model (FSVM). As compared with a support vector machine (SVM) and four other fuzzy membership determination methods, the results show that FSVM trained with TLSPM can enhance the effectiveness of sentiment classification. In addition, FSVM trained with TLSPM can reduce the mean square error (MSE) on seven sentiment rating prediction data sets.

James Joyce and Alcoholism

This paper will zoom-in upon one of the greatest modernist writers and influential figures of the twentieth century, James Joyce. In this way, following his life’s developments, from his troubled childhood to his frantic life abroad with Nora Barnacle, his literary work and his inspirational sources, we will try to establish whether alcohol consumption hindered or aided his creative process. In order to do so, this article will present events that might have triggered the drinking, the rituals and ‘customs’ of the process, as they seem to be in some kind of interrelation. These facts will be rendered while using close textual analyses of his literary works in the context of addiction.

رأى البصریَّة ورأى العلمیَّة فی القُرآنِ الکریم - من البقرة إلى الأنفال - وموقف النَّحویِّین والمفسرین منهما: دراسة وصفیَّة دلالیَّة

This study is entitled Visual 'see' and the Scientific 'see' in the Qur'an, and the Grammarians Attitude towards the Two Positions: A Descriptive Semantic Study The title is designed is based on the problem it deals with, the problem of the attitudes of the grammarians from the semantic use of the verb with reference to the visual vision, and the significance of perception in the various contexts of the Qur'an, with all the differences in their attitudes, arising from the differences in their grammar schools, and their intellectual affiliations which had their effects on these attitudes. This thesis has been chosen according to two important reasons: First: the semantic usage of the verb in the Qur'an is one of the large fields of the work of grammarians and linguists; hence their differences and agreements appear, as well as their methods and intellectual belongings via agreement and difference aspects. Second: the frequency of Qur'anic Structures in which the verb is used with its visual and perceptive significances, with a special stylistic structure like the literary structures which start with you see … Didn't they and Say: did you see… and the conditional structures like: if you see that…, and structures that includes the verb for the addressee in the two forms of present and the past saw. Thus, the objectives of the study are defined as follows: 1- Revealing the Qur'an semantic usage of the verb meaning the visual vision, knowledge and perception. 2- Identifying the attitudes of grammarians from these two semantic usages, to reveal the existence of the aspects of difference and agreement between the two attitudes, as well as the reasons behind these differences and agreements. The study is based on a number of procedural and methodological steps, with the purpose to its objectives, running as follows: First: Defining what is meant by terms of like: visual, perceptive, dreamlike, vision, opinion (Ra'y), and the differences among them through a lexical semantic analysis depending on Qur'anic dictionaries, like Mofradat by el-Raghib el-Asfahani, and the dictionaries which pay attention to figural significances in addition to real meanings, like: Asas el-Balagha by el-Zamkshary. Second: choosing samples from the seven long suras from Al- Baqara (the Cow) to Al-Anfaal (The Spoils of War), for applications, this is based on two criteria: A - The frequency of the verb with its visual, perceptive significance in these Suras, this is evident in the chart attached to the study. B - Variation in the forms of the verb see, as structures ranging from statement to composition, characterized by length in the context of the one 'Aya', which makes it of special linguistic structure. Third: Demonstrating the attitudes of grammarians towards the significance of the verb in the chosen Qur'anic examples, showing their differences and agreements. Fourth: Preference among grammarians in cases of differences. Fifth: Designing statistical charts of the use of the verb in the Suras from Al-Baqara to Al-Anfaal, to include all the uses not mentioned in the study. It has been observed that the structures of the verb have equivalents in the remaining long Suras from At-Tawba (The Repentance) to Al-Israa (The Night Journey). Thus, the researcher preferred to enlarge statistics to include the positions of the verb said in these Suras to demonstrate that the analysis of the chosen samples, and the conclusions leading to them apply to what is mentioned in the study. These procedures are followed within a descriptive semantic approach; as it describes the attitudes of grammarians, as it describes the Qur'anic structures through their analysis of these structures, demonstrating the influence of all this on the verb see. Sixth: due to the fact that the subject is characterized by interrelation between the work of the grammarians and the work of the interpreters, the study is helped b sources that possess this kind of interrelation, that is why the sources of the Qur'anic Syntax, meanings, main controversial issues, are the main sources from which researcher deduces the attitude of grammarians, employing interpretive sources of the Qur'an to demonstrate the structures seen by grammarians, or preferences between them. The study has been limited to applying these sources on the grammarian aspect of the Qur'an seen by grammarians, or preferences among them.

An institutional perspective on the changes in management accountants’ professional role

The paper theorises how a new actor of a firm can drive the institutionalisation of a new role for management accountants. Drawing on institutional theory and using insights from a single case study in a German manufacturing firm, the paper analyses the institutionalisation of the so-called “business partner” role for management accountants, which was promoted and driven by the case firm's newcomer CFO. The paper focuses on the micro-processes and especially the institutional work carried out by the new CFO that supported the entrenchment of the “business partner’ role within the case firm. In this light, we illustrate that especially three interrelated kinds of institutional work were carried out within the case firm to support the institutionalisation of the management accountants’ new role: (1) legitimising the new “business partner” role, (2) (re-)constructing the management accountants’ role identities and (3) linking the intra-organisational level with an institutional environment in which external actors aim to achieve changes in the management accountants’ role on a broader societal level. In this context, the paper also provides insights into the specific German management accounting context. Overall, the findings suggest that the institutionalisation of a new role for management accountants can be understood as the product of purposive actions carried out by actors to support a specific institutional arrangement within the firm.

Alter(nativ)idades e (inter)mediaciones: propuesta de un mapa comprensivo desde la dimensión comunicativa de los movimientos sociales

Los movimientos sociales, dado su propósito de ser escenarios extra-estatales para la configuración de nuevas interrelaciones y mediaciones entre individualidad y socialidad, resultan contexto pertinente para un re-análisis de los sentidos de la alteridad y las mediaciones sociales, así como sus vínculos. Se propone un análisis teórico de las complejidades de las dinámicas de despliegue de alteridades y alternatividades desde estos actores sociales, a partir de su diversidad, su perspectiva de la conflictividad y el cambio social, así como su énfasis en la comuni- cación y en la visibilidad. En correspondencia con estas características, se exponen algunas de las posibles tendencias en su (deseo de) devenir alteridades alter( n)ativas: duras pero flexibles, articulables y articulantes -en síntesis: unas alteridades en movimiento que pretenden devenir movimientos altera( c)tivos

Erozja autorytetu nauczyciela akademickiego – czy ta tendencja może ulec zmianie?

The increasing trend concerning loosing respect towards honoured authorities can nowadays be observed in most of the areas of social life. This refers also to universities and decreasing respect towards academics. The study at Karol Adamiecki Univeristy of Economics in Katowice, focused on structure and hierarchy of values declared by its students, were expected to reveal whether this assumption is true. The study characterized reasons for and directions of change in the declared hierarchy of values among the young. It was of high importance to diagnose the core of interactions between students and academics, i.e. to answer a question whether academics employed by the University are perceived by the students as persons whose personal approach and behaviours could be followed. The results show that nowadays academic is not respected as an authority for her/his students. The way to regain respect seems to be based on reinforcement of traditional master (tutor) – student relations, as university is this particular place where this kind of interrelations should develop. The task of building this relation needs time and efforts, as well as sets a high standard for academics to present unimpeachable ethical approach as well as openness towards students and dynamic changes in the environment.

MESOAMERICAN LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGIES

AbstractLandscapes figure centrally in conceptions and writings about ancient Mesoamerica. This selective review considers four interrelated kinds of landscapes investigated archaeologically in Mesoamerica: ecology and land use, social history, ritual expression, and cosmologic meaning. The literature on each topic is large, and from its inception, Ancient Mesoamerica has contributed significantly. Discussion here focuses on how we got to where we are in Mesoamerican landscape archaeology, important current developments, and directions for the decades ahead.

Dynamic features of flexible spacecraft control in process of its transformation into a large space structure

Consideration was given to dynamics of angular motion control of the flexible spacecraft reconstructed into a large space structure. In formal terms, this transformation lies in gradual reduction of the constructive rigidity to small values giving rise to low-frequency ( $$ \tilde f $$ ? 0.05 Hz) oscillations which represent one of the attributes of the class of large space structures. The existing quantitative definition of the large space structure was specified. It was demonstrated that as the frequencies of structure's elastic oscillations approach those of the control of object "rigid" motion, a new kind of interrelations between the motions of both types, the so-called "capture" of the controller frequency by that of the elastic oscillations, arises which impairs control efficiency to the point of losing system stability. Analytical (for the linear control systems) and computer-aided (for the discrete systems) methods for determination of the boundaries separating the two qualitatively different forms of existence of the transformed elastic object were proposed. Some results of computer simulation of the orientation control of variable objects such as flexible spacecraft and large space structure were presented.

Hierarchic Model of Consciousness: From Molecular Bose Condensation to Synaptic Reorganization

Hierarchic Model of Consciousness, proposed in this work, is based on Hierarchic Theory of Matter and Field, developed by the author, its application to properties of water in microtubules (MT) and distant exchange electromagnetic interaction between MT. The evidence, based on our theory and Virial theorem, are considered, pointing to possibility of mesoscopic (intermediate between macroscopic and microscopic) molecular Bose condensation in any condensed matter. It is shown also, that conditions of nonlocality coincide with conditions of macroscopic Bose condensation, real in condensed matter and virtual in the Vacuum). In accordance to our Hierarchic Model of Consciousness (HMC), each specific kind of neuron ensembles excitation - corresponds to hierarchical system of three-dimensional (3D) standing waves of following interrelated kinds: thermal de Broglie waves (waves B), produced by anharmonic translations and librations of molecules; electromagnetic (IR) waves; acoustic waves (thermal phonons) and vibro-gravitational waves. Corresponding complex hologram may be responsible not only for quantum neurodynamics regulation, but for morphogenetic field also.In our model we consider corresponding quantum collective excitations, resulted from coherent anharmonic translational and librational oscillations of water molecules in the hollow core of the microtubules. This water fraction is most organized and orchestrated fraction of condensed matter in cells. The mechanism suggested, needs the existence the following hierarchical stages of each elementary act of perception and memory, as a consequence of simultaneous excitation and depolarization of big enough number of interacting quantum mechanically and classically neurons, forming cooperative ensemble: 1.The change of the electric field tension in the neuron's body, as a result of membranes depolarization, 2.Opening the potential dependent Ca2+ channels and increasing the concentration of these ions in cytoplasm. Activation of Ca2+ -dependent protein gelsolin, which stimulate fast disassembly of actin filaments.
