In previously published articles, our research group has developed the Haphazard Intentional Sampling method and compared it to the Rerandomization method proposed by K.Morgan and D.Rubin. In this article, we compare both methods to the pure randomization method used for the Epicovid19 survey, conducted to estimate SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in 133 Brazilian Municipalities. We show that Haphazard intentional sampling can either substantially reduce operating costs to achieve the same estimation errors or, the other way around, substantially improve estimation precision using the same sample sizes.

Transparency And Accountability

Investigation in various regions in Indonesia found indications of the alleged fraud that result from unccountable use and management of BOS funds. Among the findings, including payments that do not fit the technical guidelines, no accountability report, and the use of funds with unaccountable receipt. In the Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of No. 161/2014, stated that: BOS is a government program that is basically forfunding the nonpersonnel operating costs of the primary education as the implementer of compulsory education program. The purpose of this study were (1) to analyze the accounting cycle and financial accountability for the use of BOS funds in the 2015, (2) to analyze the compliance of the accounting cycle and financial accountability of the BOS funds, (3) to analyze the transparency and accountability of BOS fund’s reports. The observed elementary school is SDIT X in Depok, West Java. Result shows that they do not fully compliance to the appropriate regulatory technical guidelines. On the other hand, the transparency and accountability issues show that: (1) BOS Management Team, Teachers Council and School’s Committee’s involvement in the BOS fund management, and (2) evaluation and comparison of the final report of prior periods, so that transparency and accountability of the use and management of BOS funds can be improved.

The book Research on Curricula and Cultures: tensions, movements and creations, organized by Marlucy Alves Paraíso and Maria Patrícia Silva, it consists of 17 chapters, one of which is an interesting work by a Canadian scholar who investigates state anti-feminism. The other chapters bring results from 16 researches developed by researchers from the Study and Research Group on Curricula and Cultures (GECC), created and coordinated by Marlucy Alves Paraíso, which has researchers from several Brazilian universities and states. The articles in the book combine the post-critical perspectives used to investigate curricula and cultures in their different nuances, addressing silences, power relations, modes of subjectivation and the movements that prevent their fixity. The book brings research results that discuss the possibilities of creating possibilities at school and in other cultural spaces that also have curricula and develop pedagogies, such as: cyberspace, city, health care programs, teacher training programs, educational policies, etc. In addition, curricula are investigated with emphasis on different practices and aspects: childhood, art, music, dance, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, corporality, politics, with research that also innovates methodologically when operating with openings, experiments, do-it-yourself and compositions in different ways. to research curricula without rigidity, although with the necessary rigor in academic research. O livro reconhece de diferentes modos as possibilidades de conexões entre currículos e culturas, e mostra movimentos capazes de operar transgressões apostando em uma cultura porvir.

Crossflow Microfiltration

The performance of Exxflow, a patented form of crossflow microfiltration, treating industrial wastewaters containing mixed heavy metals discharged by two types of industry is quantified and compared with the traditional technologies used for such treatment. Pilot trial results using Exxflow are shown and compared to the performance of the full scale plants now operating on these effluents. The operating costs of the Exxflow process are estimated for the two plants. One of which has been operating for 18 months and the other about 4 months. The Exxflow process is described and improvements which are being developed to lower the operating costs are presented. It is shown that industrial effluents containing mixed heavy metals are very effectively treated by the Exxflow process and since the installation of the plants the treated effluent has been of a quality suitable for discharge to the River Thames in one case and to a sewage treatment plant in the other. Unlike other processes, Exxflow has shown that it can successfully treat effluent containing mixed metals and that removal of antimony from mixed metal waste waters is affected by the concentration of sodium sulphate in the wastewater.

The Relationship

An investigation of the suitability of threshold-based and threshold-free approaches for structural investigations of binary data is reported. Both approaches implicitly establish a relationship between binary data following the binomial distribution on one hand and continuous random variables assuming a normal distribution on the other hand. In two simulation studies we investigated: whether the fit results confirm the establishment of such a relationship, whether the differences between correct and incorrect models are retained and to what degree the sample size influences the results. Both approaches proved to establish the relationship. Using the threshold-free approach it was achieved by customary ML estimation whereas robust ML estimation was necessary in the threshold-based approach. Discrimination between correct and incorrect models was observed for both approaches. Larger CFI differences were found for the threshold-free approach than for the threshold-based approach. Dependency on sample size characterized the threshold-based approach but not the threshold-free approach. The threshold-based approach tended to perform better in large sample sizes, while the threshold-free approach performed better in smaller sample sizes.

For reinforced concrete, we may consider two histories: one focuses on the influence reinforced concrete has exerted on the process of renewal of the architecture of twentieth century; the other pertains to the manners in which the development of this material effectively came about in various geographic areas. The research group at the University of Trento analysed the complex of military constructions produced in the city, and, specifically, it undertook in-depth study of the manner in which the use of reinforced concrete spread to civilian architecture.

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of the hotel employees' mobbing perceptions on organizational cynicism. In this respect, employees’ mobbing perceptions and attitudes related to organizational cynicism are evaluated separately, and then through putting forth the effect of mobbing on organizational cynicism on the sample of hotel business employees in Turkey. In this research, survey technique was utilized as a data collecting method, also the relevant mobbing and organizational cynicism scales were utilized. Survey way applied to 936 people selected through stage sampling method from employees of the five star hotel in Turkey which constitute the population of this research, and data collected for the aim of this study was analyzed and interpreted.According to the results of this research, it was determined that when hotel employees’ mobbing perceptions are considered in general, the highest mobbing perception is in “self-realization and attacks intended for communication formation” dimension; when their attitudes on organizational cynicism are considered in general, organizational cynicism with the highest average is behavioral cynicism. On the other hand, relations between employees’ mobbing perceptions and attitudes on organizational cynicism have been found significant in this research, also it is achieved that mobbing increases organizational cynicism.

There have recently appeared a number of papers and notes bearing on the merits of turbo-prop vis-a-vis turbo-jet transport aeroplanes, mostly exhibiting specific favour towards one type or the other, but disagreeing among themselves and all based upon investigations which, it is contended here, are incomplete.The basis used has invariably been a comparison of the relative direct operating costs per unit of weight (i.e. per passenger or per ton) per mile, and the relative earning capacities have not been considered. This, it is believed, is a serious omission which can only lead to a distorted assessment and erroneous conclusions.The author has been associated with a thorough-going investigation into the relative merits of twin-engined turbo-prop, turbo-jet, and reciproeating-engined aeroplanes, all designed on a strictly comparable basis to do, as far as the performance of suitable available engines would allow, the same job in terms of capacity payload and associated operational stage length, take-off and landing performance and one-engine-inoperative climb performance in given atmospheric and altitude conditions.

SMEs contribute to economic growth, employment and thereby reduce poverty. Hence, they are considered as an engine of growth, especially in the developing countries like Namibia. The other reason is they aid promotion of entrepreneurship, innovative activities enhance competition, productivity and economic growth. Adopting a qualitative approach, this study investigated the influence of innovation on SME performance and how enhancing innovation adoption will boost SMEs performance in the Khomas Region, Namibia. Primary data was collected through open and closed-ended questionnaire, distributed to 20 SME owners by means of purposive sampling method and content analysis done. Findings reflect that innovation is an important element of every organization as it had major influence on performance. Besides, innovative enterprises showed better growth. The recommendations include that the Government of Namibia consider strong financial and mentor-ship support through strategic measures, like business incubators so as to augment and sustain SMEs positive performance.
