Knowledge And Practice

In the context of current forensic knowledge and practice, using the handwriting analysis method to examine a painter’s signature does not give rise to any objections. It allows such an examination to be more transparent. The article presents a certain specificity which characterizes painter signatures. Such distinctions reveal themselves at various stages of analysis: examining the location of the questioned signature; qualifying examination of the questioned signature; determining the scope of handwriting features considered under the examination; determining the range of variability in handwriting characteristics in the comparative material; determining the degree of variability in the same characteristics in the questioned signature. The article also raises the issue of experts’ competencies, particularly significant in examining painting signatures.

This paper describes a stroke-based handwriting analysis method in classifying handwritten Numeric characters by using a template-based approach. Writing strokes are variable from time to time, even when the writing character is same and comes from the same user. Writing strokes include the properties such as the number of the strokes, the shapes and sizes of them and the writing order and the writing speed. We describe here a template-based system using the properties of writing strokes for the recognition of online handwritten numeric characters. Experimental results show that within the 1500 numeric characters taken from 30 writers, the system got 97.84% recognition accuracy which is better than other systems shown by other literatures.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the training and evaluation of professional competency to work in the area of pediatric nursing based on the conceptions and experiences of university professors. Method: A qualitative study conducted with pediatric nursing professors from six public undergraduate courses in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The data were collected by semi-structured interview and analyzed by the Content Analysis method. Results: Sixteen professors participated. Five main themes emerged: competency definition, attributes to act with children, advances in the training of professional competency, challenges to enable training pediatric competency, and methods and instruments for evaluating competency acquisition to work in the area of pediatric nursing. Conclusion: The findings of this study point to the importance of a balanced approach in the cognitive, psychomotor and affective dimensions in training and evaluating professional competency in pediatric nursing, as well as extending the curricular valorization of this area of knowledge and practice.

Holy Book

Al-Quran (The holy book of Islam) and al-Sunnah (precepts and practice of the Prophet Muhammad) are two primary sources of information for Muslims that explain Akidah and Syariah point of view. The problem occurred when Muslims acclaimed and believed that these two sources are the guidance for them but they are still arguing and in dispute about certain things that lead to different belief of Akidah and Syariah. The questions rose, what is the correct way of practicing with al-Quran and al-Sunnah? This article discusses the real concept of practicing with al-Quran and al-Sunnah from Manhaj (tools, platform) of hadith scholars, those who have the authority and ultimate understanding about the sources. The document analysis method is used to gain the detailed information. The result indicates that the scholars possess clear method to understand al-Quran and al-Sunnah. The research also discovered three (3) main principles in practicing with al-Quran and al-sunnah which are; Al-Quran and al-Sunnah that Jawami’ al-Kalim, permanent and perfect and the last one is that lead to knowledge and practice.

Sustainable Universities

Following to the global trends, the future role of sustainable universities will expand with the new focuses as, for example, entrepreneurial activities and Open Science. Entrepreneurial activities of universities provide possibilities to contribute to sustainability and Open Science is the tool for fast and simultaneous spread and exchange of the newest knowledge and good practices. This research focuses on three questions – how widespread economically oriented sustainable activities of universities are, which activities universities prefer as sustainable and economically oriented, and how often universities share such knowledge through Open Access articles. For the purpose, the author applies the monographic method, the logical analysis method, and the scientific induction method for the study of the selected Open Access articles about sustainable activities of universities in the economic subject area. Research findings indicate that the idea about sustainable and economically oriented activities of universities is widespread around the world and there are case studies from Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa. The analysis demonstrates differentiated accents in sustainable economically oriented activities of universities – globally accepted sustainability goals in economic sphere, entrepreneurial ecosystems, topicality of sustainability content in education for participants of labour market, new teaching approaches, transdisciplinary research, and university as sustainable and competitive participant at the market. Although, it is noteworthy to highlight that the exchange of knowledge and practice through Open Access articles in the relevant subject area is relatively modest and requires more attention from universities.

It has been estimated that graphology is used by over 80% of European companies as part of their personnel recruitment process. And yet, after over three decades of research into the validity of graphology as a means of assessing personality, we are left with a legacy of equivocal results. For every experiment that has provided evidence to show that graphologists are able to identify personality traits from features of handwriting, there are just as many to show that, under rigorously controlled conditions, graphologists perform no better than chance expectations. In light of this confusion, this paper takes a different approach to the subject by focusing on the rationale and modus operandi of graphology. When we take a closer look at the academic literature, we note that there is no discussion of the actual rules by which graphologists make their assessments of personality from handwriting samples. Examination of these rules reveals a practice founded upon analogy, symbolism, and metaphor in the absence of empirical studies that have established the associations between particular features of handwriting and personality traits proposed by graphologists. These rules guide both popular graphology and that practiced by professional graphologists in personnel selection.
