Abstract:
An aerosol study was carried out in a test room measuring particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 10, 4, 2.5 and 1 µm (PM10, PM4, PM2.5, PM1) before and during the use of electronic alternatives to tobacco cigarettes (EATC) IQOS®, GLO®, JUUL®, with different kinds of sticks/pods, as well as during the smoking of a conventional tobacco cigarette. The aerosol was mainly in the PM1 size range (>95%). All studied EATCs caused lower indoor PM1 concentrations than conventional tobacco cigarettes. Nevertheless, they determined a worsening of indoor-PM1 concentration that ranged from very mild for JUUL®—depending on the pod used—to considerably severe for IQOS® and GLO®. Median values ranged from 11.00 (Iqos3 and Juul2) to 337.5 µg m−3 (Iqos4). The high variability of particle loadings was attributed both to the type of stick/pod used and to the different way of smoking of volunteers who smoked/vaped during the experiments. Moreover, during vaping IQOS® and GLO® indoor PM1 concentrations reach levels by far higher than outdoor concentrations that range from 14 to 21 µg m−3, especially during the exhalation of the smoke. From these results emerge an urgent need of a legislative regulation limiting the use of such devices in public places.

Abstract:
IntroductionPhilip Morris International introduced ‘IQOS’ to the Korean market in June 2017. To monitor the use of IQOS among young Korean adults, we identified their awareness, experience and current use of IQOS.MethodsThree months after the introduction of IQOS in Korea, we conducted an online survey with 228 general young adults, aged 19–24 years.Results87 participants (38.1%) were aware of IQOS, 13 (5.7%) were IQOS ever users and 8 (3.5%) were current IQOS users. All the current IQOS users were triple users of conventional cigarettes and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). There were no IQOS-only users and one IQOS ever user was a non-cigarette smoker. Among the eight current IQOS users who smoked 9.1 conventional cigarettes a day on average, four smoked 10–20 HEETS sticks a day. The current IQOS users decided to use IQOS because they believed it was less harmful or to stop smoking. The current conventional cigarette smokers were much more likely to be aware of IQOS (OR 4.496; 95% CI 2.185 to 9.250) and to be IQOS ever users (OR 11.649; 95% CI 1.024 to 132.564).ConclusionAwareness, experience and use of IQOS among young Korean adults were relatively higher than among their Japanese counterparts. Current IQOS users were more likely to smoke conventional cigarettes and/or e-cigarettes, which contradicts the tobacco industry’s claims that conventional cigarette smokers will switch to heated tobacco products. Until obtaining robust evidence concerning heated tobacco products, the government should regulate the tobacco industry’s marketing tactics and health claims.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction IQOS is an emerging heated tobacco product marketed by Philip Morris International (PMI). Because the tobacco in IQOS is electrically heated and not combusted, PMI claims that it generates significantly lower toxicant levels than combustible cigarettes. To date, a few independent studies have addressed IQOS toxicant emissions, and none have reported reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the form of the nicotine emitted by the device. Methods In this study, IQOS aerosol was generated using a custom-made puffing machine. Two puffing regimens were used: Health Canada Intense and ISO. ROS, carbonyl compounds (CCs), and total nicotine and its partitioning between free-base and protonated forms were quantified in the IQOS aerosol by fluorescence, high-performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography, respectively. The same toxicants were also quantified in combustible cigarette aerosols for comparison. In addition, propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin were also measured in the IQOS tobacco and aerosol. Results IQOS and combustible cigarettes were found to emit similar quantities of total and free-base nicotine. IQOS total ROS (6.26 ± 2.72 nmol H2O2/session) and CC emissions (472 ± 19 µg/session) were significant, but 85% and 77% lower than levels emitted by combustible cigarettes. Conclusions IQOS emits harmful constituents that are linked to cancer, pulmonary disease, and addiction in cigarette smokers. For a given nicotine intake, inhalation exposure to ROS and CCs from IQOS is likely to be significantly less than that for combustible cigarettes. Implications IQOS is PMI’s new heated tobacco product. PMI claims that because IQOS heats and does not burn tobacco it generates low toxicant yields. We found that one IQOS stick can emit similar free-base and total nicotine yields as a combustible cigarette. A pack-a-day equivalent user of IQOS may experience significant inhalation exposure of ROS and CCs compared to background air. However, substituting IQOS for combustible cigarettes will likely result in far lower ROS and carbonyl inhalation exposure for a given daily nicotine intake.

Abstract:
IntroductionPhillip Morris International (PMI) is pushing hard to promote IQOS heat-not-burn cigarettes in Ontario, Canada. Canada regulates IQOS as a tobacco product so that the robust tobacco marketing ban creates challenges to its promotion.MethodsWe collected data on IQOS promotion in 49 retail outlets, and through interviews with clerks and observations outside an IQOS store.ResultsThe dominant marketing channel is the visible availability of IQOS in a large number of tobacco retail outlets—1029 across Ontario. Several stores display the price of ‘heated tobacco’ on one of three price signs which are permitted despite Ontario’s total display ban. IQOS boutique stores are the locus of aggressive promotion including exchanging a pack of cigarettes or lighter for an IQOS device, launch parties, ‘meet and greet’ lunches and after-hour events. Outside the store, promotion includes a prominent IQOS sign, a sandwich board sign reading ‘Building a Smoke-Free Future’ and sales representatives regularly smoking IQOS. Membership services: Upon acquiring an IQOS device one can register to access the IQOS website store5 and receive customer support services, a map of retail locations and a product catalogue. Members receive regular email invitations to complete surveys with opportunities to win prizes.ConclusionsThese promotion activities have undoubtedly made substantial numbers of Ontarians aware of IQOS. Yet, the government has not provided guidance as to absolute and relative potential harms. Our observations of tactics to promote a new tobacco product in a dark market may inform government regulatory policy and non-governmental organisation efforts wherever heat-not-burn products are introduced.

Abstract:
(1) Background: The heated tobacco product IQOS, by Philip Morris International, is now available in over 55 countries, including the United States. Social media sites such as Twitter are often used to promote or discuss tobacco products, though prior research has not examined how IQOS is presented on Twitter. (2) Methods: This study collected and categorized Twitter conversations involving IQOS. A manual content analysis was performed on N = 3916 English tweets related to IQOS published internationally between 1 January 2020 and 30 June 2020. (3) Results: Most tweets were either online marketing for IQOS (32.3%) or personal testimonials related to IQOS use (34.2%). Personal testimonial tweets made harm reduction claims about IQOS either as an avenue to quit smoking/tobacco use (3.4%), or in comparison to combustible cigarettes (2.0%). Tobacco policy-related tweets were detected (13.9%), split between discussions of United States (4.9%) and international (4.4%) policies. News media tweets (14.2%) were also detected. (4) Conclusions: Our study suggests IQOS may be understood as a less harmful alternative to vaping and combustible cigarettes. Discussions also suggest IQOS is likely to be used to avoid clean air policies or used in areas in which smoking is restricted.

Abstract:
Objectives: Philip Morris International's heated tobacco product, Marlboro IQOS, is available internationally and soon will be marketed in the United States (US). We examined correlates of curiosity, interest, and likelihood to use IQOS among US young adults. Methods: Young adults ages 18-30 years (N = 346) were recruited online, viewed a description of IQOS, and completed measures of socio-demographic characteristics, perceived risks, curiosity, interest, and likelihood to use IQOS. Results: Males had greater curiosity, interest, and likelihood to use IQOS than females. Individuals with household income of $50,000-$75,000 were more curious than those with household income of greater than $75,000. Cigarette smokers, e-cigarette and dual users had greater curiosity, interest, and likelihood of use than non-tobacco users. Non-white individuals and older young adults had greater likelihood of use. Greater perceived risks of IQOS were negatively associated with curiosity, interest, and likelihood of use. Conclusions: Among young adults, IQOS has greater appeal among males, non-whites, those who are older, those with household income of $50,000-$75,000, cigarette smokers, e-cigarette and dual users, and those with fewer perceived risks of IQOS. Research on public education communicating the potential risks of IQOS to vulnerable young adults is warranted.

Abstract:
IQOS, the leading heated tobacco product globally, recently received ‘reduced exposure’ authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration. Independent research focusing on IQOS marketing and potential impact on consumers’ perceptions and behavior, and ultimately public health, is critical. The literature to date has underscored several concerns. First, Philip Morris’s (PM’s) marketing distribution requires scrutiny, particularly given its innovative promotional strategies. For example, IQOS is distributed via unique points-of-sale (POS; e.g., specialty and pop-up stores, “corners” in convenience stores) and uses various other opportunities (e.g., social media, sponsored events, direct-to-consumer). Second, although PM claims that IQOS’ target market is current combustible tobacco users and not young people, the literature indicates that in some populations, IQOS use is equally prominent among smokers and nonsmokers, and that specific subgroups (e.g., young adults, women) are targeted. Third, the impact of IQOS’ use of ad content promoting IQOS health benefits must be studied (e.g., how consumers interpret modified exposure messages). In conclusion, surveillance of IQOS marketing, particularly following reduced exposure authorization, is critical for obtaining valuable data to estimate population impact, particularly among population subgroups (e.g., young adults), and inform future tobacco regulation. These considerations have implications beyond IQOS—to other products and companies.

Abstract:
Objectives: In this study, we examined whether visual exposure to the heated tobacco product (HTP) IQOS, which was authorized for sale by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2019, acts as a cue to increase cigarette craving and smoking behavior among smokers. Methods: Young adult smokers (N = 105) were randomly assigned to view a video depicting use of either IQOS or bottled water. Main outcomes were changes in cigarette and e-cigarette desire and latency to smoke between the groups. We also examined participants' attitudes about the actors using IQOS and drinking water in the videos. Results: Exposure to the use of IQOS acutely increased observers' ratings of smoking urge and desire for a cigarette and an e-cigarette. The IQOS cue, compared with the water cue, also produced a marginally significant shorter latency to smoke. Participants perceived actors as less likeable and friendly when using IQOS than when drinking water. Conclusions: Results showed that exposure to IQOS produced smoking urge and behavior in young adult smokers, implicating IQOS use as a smoking and vaping cue. As HTPs gain popularity, product impact on passive observers should be included in their risk-benefit profile.

Abstract:
BackgroundPhilip Morris International (PMI) continually expands and diversifies their nicotine product portfolio, which includes IQOS, a heated tobacco product. In December 2016, PMI filed a modified risk tobacco product (MRTP) application with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), seeking authorisation to market IQOS in USA with three claims of reduced harm: ‘switching completely from conventional cigarettes to the IQOS system…’ (1) ‘can reduce the risks of tobacco-related diseases;’ (2) ‘significantly reduce[s] your body’s exposure to harmful or potentially harmful chemicals;’ and (3) ‘presents less risk of harm than continuing to smoke cigarettes.’ Consumers may misunderstand what is meant by ‘switching completely'.MethodsWe critically reviewed study reports submitted to FDA by PMI in support of proposed marketing claims in its MRTP application for IQOS and focused on the statement that switching completely to IQOS reduces risk.ResultsWe found deficiencies with evidence provided by PMI supporting their assertions that: current smokers will understand what is meant by the phrase ‘switching completely'; the proposed claims will not decrease smokers’ intentions to quit; and IQOS users will in fact ‘switch completely’ from smoking cigarettes to using IQOS. The studies and measurement instruments employed by PMI suffer from design flaws and their reporting of associated findings is misleading.ConclusionConsumers will not understand the condition of the claims—that they must quit using cigarettes completely to achieve the inferred health benefits of IQOS. Rather, they are likely to misunderstand the unsupported claims of reduced risks to mean IQOS are harm-free.

Mestrado em Marketing
O processo de adopção de novos produtos permanece um dos tópicos mais interessantes em estudos de comportamento do consumidor, particularmente no caso de inovações radicais. O propósito deste estudo prende-se com entender os factores que influenciam a decisão de fumadores adultos de adoptar ou não o iQOS, um sistema revolucionário que aquece o tabaco ao invés de o queimar e que permite uma experiência de consumo sem fumo com níveis de toxicidade significativamente menores que as alternativas actualmente disponíveis no mercado. A novidade do produto e os constrangimentos únicos (e.g., legislação imposta à indústria tabaqueira) que se colocam à actuação da marca-mãe, tornam a difusão desta inovação particularmente complexa. Para avaliar o impacto de potenciais influenciadores do processo de adopção do iQOS, realizaram- se entrevistas em profundidade para investigar as percepções de fumadores relativamente: (1) às características do produto/inovação, propostas por Rogers (1983) e (2) à percepção de potenciais riscos da inovação. O estudo adoptou uma abordagem interpretativista. Foi analisada a experiência de adopção de dois indivíduos utilizadores iQOS e conduzida uma experiência com seis participantes sem experiência prévia com o iQOS, envolvendo entrevistas pré e pós-teste. Os resultados sugerem que existe resistência à inovação, apesar de todos os praticantes reconhecerem o iQOS como a forma de consumir tabaco que menos impactos negativos tem na saúde do fumador. Desta forma, para aumentar a taxa de adopção entre fumadores, são apresentadas algumas sugestões.
The consumer adoption process continues to be one of the most intriguing areas of consumer behaviour, particularly regarding radical innovations. The purpose of this study is to understand adult smokers' motivators to adopt iQOS, a breakthrough tobacco heating system that is smoke free and allows a smoking experience with significantly reduced harmful chemicals than the existing alternatives. The newness of the product and its company's contingencies has turned this body of research even more complex, fuelling further investigation suggestions. In order to achieve results on potential causes for the iQOS' adoption process, in-depth-interviews were conducted, based on (1) Rogers' (1983) innovation characteristics and (2) consumer perceived risks. An interpretative approach granted a deeper knowledge on the subject, comparing experiences between iQOS users and iQOS testers with qualitative content analysis. The results suggest iQOS is still facing resistance to innovation, despite participants recognizing less potentially negative health effects on iQOS than the alternatives. Some potential risk-relievers are presented in order to increase adoption rates among adult smokers.

Abstract:
Topicality of the problem. GSM mobile networks are very widely used in the world and the number of GSM users exceeds 10^9. In the last decade, the GSM/GPRS network has been very rapidly expanded in Lithuania as well. Coverage of the network has reached 99 % of territory of the country. Load of the network in largest cities reaches up to several hundred Erlangs for square kilometre. Voice traffic still generates the largest part of the network load, however mobile data traffic also grows rapidly. Radio interface between the user of mobile services and the network is not stationary. The received QoS of every user in different places is different. Even in a single cell, radio link characteristics differ in different parts of the cell. The signal level may easily vary about 10–20 dB just within several or tens of meters. Moreover, a mobile user experiences different link conditions while moving in the natural environment within or between cells. However, historically characteristics of QoS of mobile services are measured and evaluated like the ones of the fixed network using statistical methods. Statistically calculated characteristics of QoS do not include information about the received quality of mobile telecommunication services of every individual user. Conception of the received quality of services of individual users (individual QoS – iQoS) in the GSM/GPRS network has not been analysed in the world before. QoS should be measured not only at the network level, as it is... [to full text]

Denna studie baseras på den sociala semiotiken och idéen om att kunskap om sociala sammanhang och lämpliga sociala beteenden kan förstås som sociala genrer. Förmedlandet av den kunskapen ges genom olika texter där sociala situationer, individer och beteenden representeras. Syftet med denna studie är därför att undersöka vilka sociala situationer och beteenden som gestaltas i Systembolaget och Iq:s filmer. Studien ämnar därmed att undersöka vilka outtalade diskurser och myter som bolagen förmedlar. Det valda materialet i studien baseras delvis på bolagets unika roll i och med Sveriges alkoholmonopol, men också av anledning att studien ämnar undersöka betydelsen av filmernas avsändare. 30 filmer från bolagen har analyserat i en socialsemiotisk analys. De slutsatser som studien ledde fram till var att bolagen har en paradoxal roll i sin alkoholkommunikation. Systembolaget gestaltas som ett gott, gemensamt, samhälleligt görande mot målet om ett sundare alkoholklimat i Sverige. Samtidigt ges butikernas utbud och vilja att tillfredsställa konsumenten en lika central roll. Bolagen söker att förändra ett beteende men är samtidigt underkastade den rådande alkoholdiskursen, vilket syns i de situationer, individer och beteenden som gestaltas. Alkohol eller berusning är närvarande i alla filmer medan avspeglandet av det önskade beteendet däremot är frånvarande. Bolagens roll som avsändare av filmerna är diskret och reflekterar ytterligare bolagens mål om att insikten ska nås på individnivå heller än utifrån en uppmaning.

Entrepreneurship is a scientific discipline addressed to the methodological study of entrepreneurs, business function and business creation. In recent years, the growing of this kind of studies is due to its importance which involves the creation of new companies for the technological and economic development of a territory. Since its beginnings, theories of entrepreneurship have been widely collected by the academic literature. Such theories include a wide variety of definitions and criteria for the study of the entrepreneurial phenomenon. Therefore, a first study of this literature is essential for targeting this work. The purpose of this project is the evaluation of the entrepreneurial activity of IQS’s graduates based on its achievements. This is also connected to the contribution of the IQS to business creation by means its graduates. IQS is an academic center with more than one hundred years of history, located in Barcelona and conducted by the Society of Jesus. IQS is part of the Universitat Ramon Llull and its studies include science and technology and also economics and business administration. The education of its graduates, beyond the knowledge taught and learned, also includes the acquisition of skills, abilities and values. Taken together, they make up the character and the personality of its graduates. This education provide to its students with a critical basis for any decision-making regarding the possibility of carrying out entrepreneurship. The identification of the maximum number of IQS entrepreneurs and the companies created by them is one of the challenges to achieve in this project. However, what is the most important body of this research is the descriptive study of a group of recent cases, in order to draw conclusions about the motivations of entrepreneurs, the characteristics of the companies created and the contribution of IQS. The methodology is based on the analysis of the data obtained from a questionnaire answered by a sample of IQS entrepreneurs. The model is based on a similar study prepared by MIT to assess the entrepreneurial impact of its graduates. The evaluation of the results leads to the conclusion that the number of IQS entrepreneurs can be considered relevant and also that their companies have some of the characteristics of their local environment while also respond to qualities that are derived from the performance of IQS.

Abstract:
After the 1994 elections education reform has been characterized by the introduction of laws and policies, including IQMS, that seek to reconcile post‐apartheid traditions to practices that would address deficiencies borne by the era in the education field. The IQMS is a clear reaction to the autocratic mode of evaluation that operated during the apartheid era and is a major shift from the old paradigm of external evaluators. It was designed to review performance and identify strengths and weaknesses, encouraging personal and professional development, drawing on peer and collegial feedback rather than official Department of Education surveillance. However, recent studies have shown that the IQMS has failed and is failing to achieve what it was intended to achieve. This study examines the reasons for this failure in a secondary school in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. This research is an interpretive case study that uses observation, document analysis and interviews utilising theories of learning organizations, management and leadership. The study reveals that the policy is not applied in the way it was intended and is failing in this regard. The policy process has been bureaucratised and suffers from superficial compliance. The developmental thrust of the policy seems to have been lost. It was also discovered that the involvement of teacher unions has both positively and negatively affected the implementation process and that the support schools receive from the department is not enough to keep the policy alive in schools. This research is likely to benefit school principals, policy makers and implementers, and IQMS coordinators, as it provides clarity on the issues restraining IQMS implementation in schools. The study also demonstrates the need for school principals to consider adopting transformational leadership as a strategy to lead teachers against political influence and expose them to professional development opportunities.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore in-depth, the role of Integrated Quality Management System coordinators and the role of subject advisors in the professional development of educators in the Tshwane South district and Northern Gauteng district of the Gauteng Department of Education. This qualitative research study used a case study design - the case being the role of two sets of district officials in educator professional development. This study was framed by the four main roles of the district officials as stipulated by the Personnel Administration Measures (1996), namely planning, support, supervision and educator engagement. These four main concepts were not just a point of reference but the conceptual framework underpinning the study. Altogether, eight district officials took part in this study. Semi-structured interviews were employed as data collection strategy in this study. The findings of this study were that the role of officials in planning EPD is varied and often overlaps, that support is mainly provide through school visits, but other means of support are also employed when required, that supervision and oversight is not always developmental in nature, and finally that educator engagement is often insufficient and does not always engage educators in the processes and planning of EPD. The study put forward recommendations that advance planning, advocacy and training for the implementation of IQMS be done, that professional development activities endorsed by SACE be adopted throughout the system, that a change of focus from monitoring and accountability methods in educator professional development to developmental supervision be adopted, and consultation and engagement with educators in designing and planning professional development activities be prioritised.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research study was to explore how district officials monitor and provide support to teachers through the effective implementation of the Integrated Quality Management System (IQMS) in South African public schools. Through the utilization of a qualitative case study approach, and guided by a theoretical framework of “performative society”, the study attempted to provide a glimpse of how district officials carry out their responsibilities. Among others, by monitoring and providing necessary support to teachers in order to address various developmental needs as identified during the IQMS implementation cycles at institutional level. Data collection was a mix of semi-structured interviews, observations, field notes and a researcher journal. The major findings emanating from this study were six fold: First, district officials were very conversant with the policy imperatives of the ELRC Resolution 8 of 2003 that deals with the implementation of IQMS in public schools. Second, the study revealed a sense of despair and hopelessness on the side of educators because of evident absence of district officials’ provision of support, particularly during the IQMS cyclic implementation process. Third, while school based educators understood the principles, purposes and procedures of IQMS fully well, they were still struggling to translate theory into practice. Fourth, lack of proper planning in schools hindered the effective implementation of IQMS. Fifth, lack of special incentives for the SDTs. And sixth, is lack of resources in some public schools, as well as the attitude of teachers and school managers towards the implementation of IQMS in schools. These factors, the study revealed, were cited as reasons impeding the effective implementation of IQMS in public schools. Copyright

Abstract:
A dinâmica ambiental possui capacidade limitada de reciclagem e a crescente utilização resíduos agroindustriais, especialmente na agricultura, pode levar a situações de poluição do solo e demais componentes ambientais. A manutenção da produtividade de ecossistemas agrícolas e naturais depende do processo de transformação da matéria orgânica e, por conseguinte, da biomassa microbiana do solo, e que é responsável pela decomposição e mineralização de resíduos no mesmo. A dinâmica natural dos microrganismos do solo, em constante mudança e adaptação, os torna um indicador sensível às mudanças resultantes de diferentes práticas de manejo agrícola. Sendo assim, conhecer essas alterações e suas interferências é fundamental para identificar estratégias adequadas de manejo, apontando técnicas de utilização adequadas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade de um solo agrícola, cultivado com três variedades de cana-de-açúcar (Saccharum spp.), comparando a utilização de adubação mineral frente à utilização de fertilizante orgânico composto no período final de formação dos perfilhos (120 dias após o plantio). Foi implantado, em condições de campo, o cultivo de cana-de-açúcar (cana planta), utilizando as variedades RB 867515, RB 962869 e RB 855453, onde cada variedade foi cultivada de três formas distintas, sendo elas: plantio controle (CT) sem aplicação de insumos para adubação; plantio orgânico (OG) com aplicação de fertilizante orgânico; e plantio convencional (CV) com aplicação de adubação mineral, seguindo recomendações de adubação após análise química inicial do solo local. Cada parcela possuía 37 m2, com 5 sulcos de 5,0 m de comprimento e espaçamento de 1,5 m entrelinhas, sendo os três sulcos centrais formando a área útil. De acordo com a variedade e o tipo de adubação, foram formados nove tratamentos: T1 86CT, T2 96CT, T3 85CT, T4 6OG, T5 96OG, T6 85OG, T7 86CV, T8 96CV e T9 85CV, com delineamento estatístico de blocos ao acaso e quatro repetições. Os parâmetros químicos do solo analisados foram macronutrientes e micronutrientes; os parâmetros microbiológicos foram carbono da biomassa microbiana (CBM), respiração basal do solo (RBS), quociente metabólico (qCO2), número mais provável de fungos e bactérias do solo (NMP); e, por fim, a produtividade agrícola (t/ha). Os resultados foram submetidos a análise de variância (ANOVA) e à comparação das médias através do teste de Tukey (10%). Também foi realizada a análise de variância dos dados e correlação cofenética de Pearson para formação de dendogramas. Com base no período estudado, considerado como fase crítica da formação do canavial, concluiu-se que os parâmetros químicos que evidenciaram alterações no solo foram pH e os macronutrientes Mg, Al e SB, sendo os tratamentos orgânicos equivalentes e/ou melhores que os tratamentos convencionais. Para os parâmetros microbiológicos, o NMP de fungos apresentou os maiores valores nos tratamentos convencionais e controle. A produtividade agrícola não foi influenciada pelos diferentes tratamentos e insumos utilizados, independente da variedade de cana-de-açúcar utilizada. Por fim, foram observadas correlações positivas entre as variáveis CTC e quociente metabólico (qCO2) apontando potencial melhoria da qualidade do solo, com o emprego de insumos orgânicos
The environmental dynamics has limited recycling capacity and increasing use of agroindustrial waste, especially in agriculture, can lead to soil pollution situations and other environmental components. The maintenance of the productivity of agricultural and natural ecosystems is dependent on the transformation process of organic matter and therefore, the microbial biomass, which is responsible for the decomposition and mineralization of waste therein. The natural dynamics of soil microorganisms, constantly changing and adapting, makes them a sensitive indicator of changes resulting from different agricultural practices. So, knowing these changes and their interference is critical to identify appropriate management strategies, pointing appropriate use of techniques. The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of an agricultural soil cultivated with three varieties of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), comparing the use of mineral front fertilizer use of organic compound fertilizer at the end of training period of tillers (120 days after planting). Was deployed in field conditions, the sugarcane crop (plant cane), using the varieties RB 867515, RB 962 869 and RB 855 453, where each variety was grown in three different ways, namely: planting control (CT) without application of inputs for fertilizer; organic planting (OG) with organic fertilizer application; and conventional tillage (CV) with application of mineral fertilizer, following fertilizer recommendations after initial chemical analysis of the local soil. Each plot had 37 m2, with 5 grooves of 5.0 m long and 1.5 m spacing between lines, with the three central grooves forming the floor area. According to the variety and type of fertilization, they were formed nine treatments: T1 86CT, T2 96CT, T3 85CT, T4 6OG, T5 96OG, 85OG T6, T7 86CV, T8 96CV and T9 85CV, with statistical design of randomized blocks and four replications. Chemical parameters analyzed were macronutrients and micronutrients; microbiological parameters were microbial biomass carbon (MBC), the basal soil respiration (RBS), metabolic quotient (qCO2), most likely number of fungi and soil bacteria (NMP); and, finally, agricultural productivity (t/ha). The results were submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and comparison of means by Tukey test (10%). It was also performed the analysis of variance of data and cophenetic Pearson correlation to dendograms training. Based on the study period, considered critical stage of the formation of sugarcane, it was concluded that chemical parameters showed changes in soil were pH and macronutrients Mg, Al and SB being equivalent organic treatments and/or better than those treatments conventional. For microbiological parameters, NMP fungi showed the highest values in conventional and control treatments. Agricultural productivity was not affected by the different treatments and inputs used, regardless of the variety of sugarcane used. Finally, positive correlations were observed between the CTC variables and metabolic quotient (qCO2) indicating potential improvement of soil quality, with the use of organic inputs

Abstract:
Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Education in the Department of Educational Psychology and Special Education of the Faculty of Education at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2013.
Integrated Quality Management System (IQMS) is an appraisal system of the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education. The appraisal system intended to develop educators on an on-going basis. The primary aim of this investigation was to establish the effect that IQMS has on educator efficacy. As an introduction to the study, the requirements for educator efficacy were reviewed. In so doing, the various characteristics for effective teaching-learning situation and of an “ideal” educator were highlighted. The didactical behaviour of successful educators was also in focus. The requirements for educator efficacy and the effects of IQMS on educator efficacy were investigated using a literature and empirical study. The study revealed that IQMS has a positive effect on educator performances. For the purposes of the empirical investigation, a structured questionnaire was used. Four hundred and six (406) questionnaires were completed by educators from the primary and secondary schools from the Pinetown District in the Ethekwini Region of KZN and these questionnaires were analysed. The data was processed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Abstract:
This study aimed to explore teachers' perceptions on the effectiveness of the academic and short-learning skills development programmes for teachers in the Ehlanzeni District. The skills development programmes focused on new content knowledge as well as teaching strategies. The study adopted a qualitative research approach. Purposive sampling was adopted to select participants. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 teachers. The qualitative data collected from the participants were analysed using thematic analysis, which allowed for the development and categorisation of themes. The study's key findings indicated that there is a culture of non-compliance with the integrated quality management system (IQMS), which is used as a framework to train and develop teachers, as well as biased nomination methods. Additionally, the study noted misalignment between the training goals and needs of schools. The suggested recommendations include compliance with IQMS requirements, developing formal selection criteria, and aligning training goals with school needs.

Abstract:
Stylometry is a study of text linguistic properties that brings together various fields of research such as statistics, linguistics, computer science and more. Stylometry methods have been used for historic investigation, as forensic evidence and an educational tool. This chapter presents a method to automatically estimate individual's IQ based on quality of writing and discusses challenges associated with it. The method utilizes various text features and NLP techniques to calculate indexes which are used to estimate individual's IQ. The results show a high degree of correlation between expected and estimated IQs in cases when IQ is within the average range. Obtaining good estimation for IQs on the high and low ends of the spectrum proves to be more challenging and this work offers several reasons for that. Over the years stylometry benefitted from wide exposure and interest among researches, however it appears that there aren't studies that focus on using stylometry methods to estimate individual's intelligence. Perhaps this work presents the first in-depth attempt to do so.

Monte Carlo transport theory was applied to the variables space and time separated framework of neutron space-time kinetics calculation for Accelerator driven sub-critical reactor. The improved quasi-static approximation was combined with Monte Carlo neutron transport code (IQS/MC) for neutron space-time kinetic process of ADS sub-critical system. Besides, the IQS/MC simulation calculation program with visualization operation platform for ADS sub-critical system was developed simultaneously. The beam transient was analysed simulatedly based on the physical model of CIADS. Three-dimensional grid distributions of relative neutron flux of energy group were separated along time can be obtained by computing energy group separated of neutron flux, meanwhile the totally relative power, fuel temperature and outlet temperature of coolant at the core varied as the time were also obtained. The calculated results of IQS/MC method and point reactor method were compared, which agreed well with the relevant physics laws and verify that the IQS/MC method is applicable to the simulation of ADS neutron space-time kinetics and ADS neutronics transient security analysis.

Abstract:
Richard Bertrand Spencer is a well-groomed, well-educated advocate for the creation of a “white ethno-state” in North America for a “dispossessed white race.” He has also called for “peaceful ethnic cleansing” to halt the “deconstruction” of what he describes as “white culture” and to achieve a “white homeland.” Spencer has become the most recognizable public face of the white supremacist and nationalist movements. As an ardent white supremacist and ethnonationalist, Spencer says America belongs to white people, who he claims have higher average IQs than Hispanics and African Americans, and that the latter are genetically predisposed to crime. In Spencer’s “America,” Asians, Muslims, and Jews don’t qualify as “white” either.
