Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical devices that data scientists and IT pros can use to run simulations before actual devices are built and deployed. They are also changing how technologies such as IoT, AI and analytics are optimized. This technology can identify a problem or error before its occurrence while working with the machines or systems and it has the potential to predict the outcome for the future. Therefore in this paper, we focus on digital twin technologies to overcome the problems associated with current implementation technologies, and we will give recommendations based on the loopholes to be utilized in future technologies.

The Caimito (Chrysophyllum cainito L) belongs to the Sapotaceae family. This family includes trees or shrubs widely distributed in the tropics of both hemispheres. In Venezuela is grown primarily in gardens as an ornamental tree and shadow; however, the fruits have exquisite taste and nutritional value for calcium, phosphorus, vitamins A and C. The objective of the study consisted of the chemical evaluation of the fruits of caimito, varieties green and purple, from an experimental garden established on the farm El Reto, University of the Andes, located in Monay, Trujillo State. The variables evaluated were: titratable acidity, total soluble solids (TSS), SST/Acidity ratio, reducing sugars content, dry matter and moisture content. The experimental design corresponded to a factorial with two factors at two levels each (2²): variety (green and purple) and early and late harvest with ten replications arranged at random. The results for all assessments were processed statistically using ...

Knowledge based economy recognizes human capital as the intellectual capital and knowledge as a critical tool for enhancing competitiveness of a country.With an annual average GDP growth has been 6% to 7% since the start of the 21st century, India has made impressive progress in economic growth. The Global Competitiveness Report, 2019 of World Economic Forum (WEF) suggests the role of competitiveness to sustain future growth and income. The report demonstrates a strong correlation between competitiveness and per capita income and that without improving competitiveness; less competitive Economies may find it difficult to sustain even their present levels of income. Improving the fundamentals of competitiveness improves resilience to shocks. Available literature also suggests that if India becomes globally more competitive, it can raises its per capita export substantially and could create over 30 million well-paying jobs. Though factors like policy environment and infrastructure strengthening are important in providing a competitive edge to the nation, a competitive mindset is equally important. A question which eludes a convincing answer since long is that despite being a nation of capable people, why does India lag behind in global competitiveness? There is an apparent need to skill nation’s workforce with attributes that lead to a competitive mindset and this study is aimed at understanding the perception of academia about such attributes. Suggestions have also been made as how to amalgamate the imparting of such attributes with formal programmes at the level of higher education.

It can be debated as to whether higher education as a culture and industry has become “locked-in” to its systems and processes; but what is less likely to be argued is that the underlying educational mission of higher education is to lead and advance through research and education the future of our society. We have begun to critically ask what academic institutions should be doing to address these current social challenges and who should be held accountable for not only asking these questions, but also making these impactful decisions. Understanding how academic leadership adapts and innovates in a changing societal environment and with fluctuating industry needs is important in order for both graduates and graduate programs to stay relevant and competitive. Nevertheless, as we modify our systems and processes, we need to continue to evaluate our leadership and their successes and failures, so as to learn from them moving forward. We also need to recognize how graduate education is evolving through these large and small scale changes, and what does this mean to our purpose as leaders, faculty, and staff. Identifying value and purpose should be at the core of our educational mission and influential in our curriculum development. Regardless of the role or title, an overall review of the organizational structure may led to a better understanding as to how academic roles, and in particular leadership positions, are assessed and justified both within academic culture and outside of the industry.
There are still a number of questions that have to be asked related to this topic, some that this paper has alluded to and others that this paper has not address but should be explore in future research. Some of those questions including: How do we currently measure graduate school success? Can graduate programs develop a system of longitudinal learning for their graduates and alumni? How can we add value for graduates, to be maintained through an alumni community network? How can academic administration better create this value and establish these partnerships with the professional world? What is the direction and future goal/purpose of graduate education and who is its audience?
While all of these questions have their place and deserve their time to be discussed, we circle back to the main focus of this paper, that being the position and responsibilities of leadership in graduate education and how these roles are appointed. Regardless of the responsibilities, while these individuals might have the academic, scholarly and research background, many academic leaders come in lacking the appropriate knowledge, skills, and competencies to manage and lead and administer larger program visions and responsibilities. How they gain this aptitude seems to vary, leader-by-leader and experience-by-experience. Yet, it begs the question, why can a model not be designed to standardize this process in order to ensure that we are not only identifying leaders with strong academic credentials but also individuals that have vision, passion, progressiveness, and can relate this to the institutional identity and overall mission.
I recognize that this is not a question that I can answer, but the goal here is more to explore and shed light on the question moving forward. Ultimately, this is a long process that is not, and cannot, be answered quickly. Simply substituting these leadership roles will not solve the larger challenges that graduate education faces, though it could be a starting point. There is a cultural change that needs to take place in order for longitudinal and sustainable goals, innovation, and development to occur within graduate education. What is promising however, is the growing recognition that the landscape of graduate education and education in general is shifting. There are new challenges on the horizon, some present and some predicted. Given the research and the qualitative responses from many of those in positions of power and leadership, the seeds of change lie in academic leadership. We need these inspiring, innovative, and open-minded, interdisciplinary leaders to make decisions and guide graduate education forward in the 21st century.

Recent trends in the demographic landscape of North American archaeology indicate that women now outnumber men in the number of PhDs awarded, but continue to be inadequately represented among tenure track and Research 1 faculty, in leadership positions in compliance professions, and within the realm of peer reviewed publishing. These trends point to a “leaky pipeline” effect, whereby there is an attrition of women in the more advanced and prestigious levels of archaeology. One aspect of the professional pipeline that has not been well explored is the demographic makeup of members of national professional associations like the Society of Professional Archaeologists (SOPA)/Register of Professional Archaeologists (RPA), which serves as a proxy for more broad scale demographic trends in the general workforce of archaeology. In this study we explore the gender and professional affiliation makeup of SOPA/RPA members from 1976 2018. This poster will present the results of our study and provide recommendations for improving equity in archaeology.

This article theorizes the functional relationship between the human components (i.e., scholars) and non-human components (i.e., structural configurations) of academic domains. It is organized around the following question: in what ways have scholars formed and been formed by the structural configurations of their academic domain? The article uses as a case study the academic domain of education and technology to examine this question. Its authorship approach is innovative, with a worldwide collection of academics (99 authors) collaborating to address the proposed question based on their reflections on daily social and academic practices. This collaboration followed a three-round process of contributions via email. Analysis of these scholars’ reflective accounts was carried out, and a theoretical proposition was established from this analysis. The proposition is of a mutual (yet not necessarily balanced) power (and therefore political) relationship between the human and non-human co...

In South Africa, universities offer qualifications to eligible students for them to graduate. For universities to operate, academic staff are appointed to instruct and/or to conduct research. Considering the non-conducive South African economic landscape, it is not surprising that South African universities have started to place focus on second stream income generation and third stream income generation, which includes the generation of government subsidy income for published Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) accredited research outputs. Notwithstanding the above, research suggests that South African universities have tasked academic staff with excessive teaching and learning workloads which makes it difficult for them to contribute to the overall research productivity of these institutions. This online desktop study ascertained whether the research productivity of South African universities (operating in the Western Cape) are adversely affected by excessive student enrollments, prior to COVID-19. The foregoing may cause stringent teaching and learning workloads on academic staff. From the research conducted, it appears that at least two South African universities made use of a balanced approach to appoint academic staff that are solely responsible for conducting research; appoint academic staff that are solely responsible for instructing; appointing academic staff that are responsible for conducting research and to instruct. Where such a balanced approach was followed, it yielded reasonably calculated student to academic staff ratios and calculated accredited output per academic staff member ratios.

Alessandro Ciccarelli (c. 1810, Nápoles – 1879, Santiago), com uma produção presente em coleções privadas e públicas, é o ponto de partida adotado nesta comunicação para abordar acontecimentos do campo das artes visuais da segunda metade do século XIX, no Brasil e no Chile. Este artista controverso, menosprezado por duríssimas críticas e protagonista
de conhecidas polêmicas, foi causa de várias disputas entre aqueles que o apoiavam e os que o criticavam. A presença de sua obra em diversas coleções e publicações que evidenciam o reconhecimento de seu trabalho motivamnos a colocar em discussão narrativas e peculiaridades em torno de sua
figura, a partir de vários estudos apresentados em Jornadas anteriores. Além disso, e de forma particular, pretendemos reavaliar sua produção paisagística e sua aparentemente paradoxal negação do ensino do gênero no ambiente acadêmico, considerando exposições que incluíram quadros
do pintor.

Over the past few decades, claims of grade inflation in American higher education have been ubiquitous, with ample evidence documenting its prevalence and severity. Many have condemned the trend toward grade inflation , noting that students spend less time studying in courses that inflate grades, and that students who receive inflated grades in introductory or preliminary courses often do poorly in advanced courses. In this article we present summary findings of a study we conducted that examines grading trends across a recent five-year span in two of the largest higher education systems in the United States: the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) systems. We show that changes in grade distributions in many campuses have begun to plateau, but note that it may be premature to claim that grade inflation is an issue of the past. We also cite and discuss a potential correlate of grade inflation others have ignored: the relationship between grade point averages and semantic definitions of grade categories.

La cultura de la cancelación: Un fenómeno no tan reciente que se ha visibilizado en el año 2020 cuestionable hace unos años. Pudo ser un chiste de mal gusto, un comentario soez, una opinión contraria a la mayoría o trató mal a un individuo. Pero el punto es que hizo algo inmoral y, por lo tanto, se dejan de comprar sus productos o se hace un "linchamiento" digital en el cual la persona pierde todo prestigio y capacidad de hacer su profesión o negocios. Quienes son entendidos en este tema y leyeron el famoso libro de Saul D. Alinksky titulado Rules for Radicals (h ps://www.amazon.com /Rules-Radicals-Practical-Primer-Realistic/dp/0679721134) conocen a este fenómeno como política de destrucción personal. Actualmente se está denominando bajo la categoria de cultura de cancelación, un fenómeno que está sorprendiendo a muchos como si fuese algo muy reciente, puesto que si se imaginan viviendo en un Paraíso la aparición de una serpiente es sorprendente. Pero, como se diría en un viejo texto, "no hay nada nuevo bajo el Sol" (Eclesiastés 1:9).

Over the last couple of years, universities and academics in Turkey have faced unprecedentedly severe political pressure. Beginning with the by now internationally wellknown Peace Petition in January 2016, scholars who publicly took a critical stance against the resumption of armed clashes in Southeastern provinces were widely targeted by state authorities and university administrations alike. The oppression on scholars evolved into a new phase with the State of Emergency in July 2016. A total of 6,081 academics were dismissed from their posts by emergency decrees, 406 of whom were the signatories of the Peace Petition. The sweeping measures taken against academics included imprisonment, arrests, undue treatment, judicial prosecutions, university-based disciplinary investigations, dismissals and travel bans. This executive summary outlines the main findings of a comprehensive research which explored Turkey's academic purge and its effects. The research was part of a two-year project, "Supporting Academics as a Human Rights Actor in a Challenging Context", run by the Human Rights Foundation of Turkey (HRFT). The research team was composed of academics who had themselves been dismissed from public universities for having signed the Peace Petition. The full report of the research, originally published in Turkish in

Envy occurs when a person wants something another person has, whether it is material or perceived success. These feelings have been studied extensively in philosophy and psychology but underestimated in academic environments. Envy arises due to academia's nature and the demand for research outputs, competition for funding, and opportunities for promotion. Envy can benefit educational institutions in moderate doses, as it can positively affect self-regulation and motivation. However, in most cases it negatively impacts relationships, impedes communication, makes teamwork less effective, and affects wellbeing. Different factors enable and exacerbate envy in academic settings, for instance, social comparisons, mental health issues, ethnic prejudice, bullying, or microaggressions. When envy occurs in the workplace, colleagues do not speak to each other with respect and consideration. This negative feeling can affect academics and lead to mental health issues which undermine performance. This paper discusses the impact of these emotions on early career academics in educational technology. Culturally safe practices, reflection and consideration for others, and personal and professional performance are critical factors in preventing envy. The author presents strategies to help academics overcome envy and promote a safe work environment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate an unexplored factor as to why some Republicans and conservatives have less trust in science and academia than those on the political left. Twitter accounts for 25 elite American universities were examined for political and religious sentiment and then compared to results from 25 lower ranked schools. The aim was to examine the extent universities post politically liberal or anti-Christian messaging through Twitter. Results suggest elite universities promote more liberal messages than conservative or Republican messages and more liberal messages than lower ranked schools. Overall, the sample of schools made few tweets containing pro-Christianity messaging despite some of the schools having strong connections to Christian denominations or having been founded as religious institutions to train Christian clergy. The findings add additional insight as to why discussions on scientific issues may be influenced by political partisanship.

This article highlights an experience of "failing" within a qualitative research study. Specifically, the authors speak to the failure of recruiting participants in conducting synchronous video and telephone interviews. Drawing from literature in business and examples from research method texts to demonstrate the cross-disciplinary concerns and insights of failure within one's work, the authors discuss how failure can be reframed as opportunity through the lens of "rigid flexibility" and the innovative steps they implemented. Providing additional insight into the process of framing and reframing failure in research, the authors integrate poetic inquiry as a tool for reflection to highlight their process and suggested steps for new researchers. The authors argue that researchers can approach studies with the idea that failures in the planning and/or execution can lead to opportunities and new insights.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, universities worldwide have provided continuity to research and teaching through mandatory work from home. Taking into account the specificities of the Italian academic environment and using the Job Demand-Resource-Recovery model, the present study provides, through an online survey, for the first time a description of the experiences of a large sample of academics (N = 2365) and technical and administrative staff (N = 4086) working in Italian universities. The study analyzes the main differences between genders, roles or work areas, in terms of some job demands, recovery experiences, and outcomes, all important dimensions to achieve goals 3, 4, and 5 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The results support the reflections on gender equality measures in universities and provide a general framework useful for further in-depth analysis and development of measures in order to improve well-being (SDG 3), quality of education (SDG 4), and gender equality (SDG 5).

In this report, we present the outcomes of the first Dutch national explorative study about the different manifestations of harassment experienced by women academics. For this study, we conducted 20 in-depth interviews and collected 33 written testimonials about women academics’ own experiences with harassment. Even though participants were sometimes reluctant to label their experiences as harassment, as has also been pointed out in earlier studies, their experiences all fell under our definition of harassment as “patterns of intense behaviour that have the aim and/or effect of violating a person’s dignity and/or that create a hostile working environment, thereby obstructing scholars in their academic work and their career progress.” Based on our analysis of the experiences of 53 women academics, we conclude (1) that women academics experience different manifestations of harassment, (2) that this harassment is facilitated by cultural and structural factors, and (3) that harassment can have detrimental effects on individuals, organisations and science in general.

Abstract:
Using the variation coefficient for the GLOBE study data, the authors find homogeneity in culture and organizational leadership among 10 diverse Latin American countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, México and Venezuela).
AN ENGLISH VERSION OF THIS ARTICLE IS AVAILABLE:
INTRODUCCIÓN
¿Existe homogeneidad cultural y de liderazgo organizacional entre los países
de América Latina? ¿Cuáles son las diferencias entre la región latinoamericana
y el resto del mundo, en términos de preferencias culturales y
liderazgo organizacional? Estas dos preguntas centraron una exploración
sobre los datos del estudio Globe, realizado en 64 países del mundo incluidos
diez de América Latina.
Este documento reporta exclusivamente la investigación cuantitativa, y
se centra en 18 escalas de cultura y veintiuna variables de liderazgo. Se realizó
una encuesta cuantitativa a cerca de 16.000 gerentes en todo el mundo, incluidos
1.400 latinoamericanos, mediante la colaboración de 170 investigadores.
Los resultados indican una homogeneidad cultural y de liderazgo entre los
diez países latinoamericanos estudiados.
Se midió tanto la descripción de su cultura como la preferencia por ciertos
valores. Los gerentes latinoamericanos expresaron los siguientes valores
culturales: a) América Latina vive una situación de alta incertidumbre con
muy poco control sobre eventos inesperados, pero es una de las regiones del
mundo que más preferiría evitar la incertidumbre; b) son sociedades con valores
elitistas, pero muy fuertemente desearían que esto disminuyera; c) los valores
de colectivismo familiar y de lealtad al grupo están entre los más altos
del mundo, y también la preferencia por que se mantenga así; d) son sociedades individualistas, pero hay un gran deseo de que prime el bien común sobre
las ventajas individuales; e) de sociedades apenas medianamente orientadas al
desempeño, querrían sociedades predominantemente orientadas al logro de
altos objetivos; f) de sociedades que discriminan a la mujer, preferirían muy
fuertemente igualdad entre los géneros; g) de sociedades orientadas al presente,
querrían culturas más centradas en el futuro; h) querrían tener una sociedad
un poco más humana que la actual, localizada en general por debajo del promedio
internacional; i) los latinoamericanos quieren mantener una cultura de
suave trato interpersonal.
Los resultados indican una preferencia por parámetros semejantes de
liderazgo, el cual fue medido con 21 escalas (Anexo 1). Los gerentes latinoamericanos
muestran una clara preferencia por líderes orientados a obtener altos
resultados de desempeño, integradores de equipos y colaboradores con el
grupo, administrativamente competentes y dispuestos a sacrificarse por la organización.
Al igual que los gerentes del resto del mundo, también aparecieron
como criterios importantes para juzgar a los líderes su capacidad de inspirar a
los demás, el tener una clara visión de futuro, la integridad personal, el ser
decisivo, diplomático y modesto. El líder autónomo o individualista es muy
mal evaluado entre los gerentes latinoamericanos.
Los coeficientes de variación entre los países latinoamericanos indican
una cultura homogénea que contrasta con la diversidad de países estudiados:
Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala,
México y Venezuela.

In this session, we take you through a quick text analysis of job advertisements in learning technology. Monica, Teeroumanee, Tracey, Tania and Maren make up the Recruitment & Staff Development subgroup of the Anti-Racism & Learning Technology community of practice. As part of the work we do on diversifying learning technology, we analysed the language used in job postings using an intersectional text analysis framework. According to Anthias (1998), a multi-level analysis works on four levels: the level of discrimination (experience); the actors' level (intersubjective praxis); the institutional level (institutional regimes); and the level of representation (symbolic and discursive). By approaching job postings in learning technology from an intersectional lens, we aim to identify hidden messages and expectations underlying job posting in learning technology contexts by taking an intersectional framework, i.e., the in-between the lines. The results of this analysis can support colleagues across the sector advancing the inclusion, diversity and equity agenda in higher education.

This article centers on the institutional barriers Latinas face in their professional development. An autoethnographic approach is employed to explore common themes faced by Latinas that hinder their success via the lens of culture conflict theory. This study specifically focus on issues related to interactions with students, margin-alization, and institutional racism. A set of individual and institutional-level recommendations that may serve to alleviate the challenges facing Latinas, and faculty of color in general, are discussed.

An online survey was conducted on a national sample of United States professors to examine emotional labor and its relationship to work outcomes. Participants were queried on genuine, faking, and suppressing emotional expression facets of emotional labor, as well as emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction, and affective commitment. The sample of 598 included 71 instructors, 177 assistant professors, 168 associate professors, and 182 professors. A path analysis was conducted testing two models of emotional labor. Results supported a model indicating significant direct relationships between emotional labor, emotional exhaustion, and job satisfaction. Additionally, the relationship between emotional labor and affective commitment was mediated by emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction. Genuine positive expression was the only emotional labor variable to have significant direct relationships with all outcomes. For U.S. faculty, the experience of emotional labor was related to several work attitudes.
