AbstractEnd-to-end tests present many challenges in the industry. The long-running times of these tests make it unsuitable to apply research work on test case prioritization or test case selection, for instance, on them, as most works on these two problems are based on datasets of unit tests. These ones are fast to run, and time is not usually a considered criterion. This is because there is no dataset of end-to-end tests, due to the infrastructure needs for running this kind of tests, the complexity of the setup and the lack of proper characterization of the faults and their fixes. Therefore, running end-to-end tests for any research work is hard and time-consuming, and the availability of a dataset containing regression bugs, documentation and logs for these tests might foster the usage of end-to-end tests in research works. This paper presents a) a dataset for this kind of tests, including six well-documented manually injected regression bugs and their corresponding fixes in three web applications built using Java and the Spring framework; b) tools for easing the execution of these tests no matter the infrastructure; and c) a comparative study with two well-known datasets of unit tests. The comparative study shows that there are important differences between end-to-end and unit tests, such as their execution time and the amount of resources they consume, which are much higher in the end-to-end tests. End-to-end testing deserves some attention from researchers. Our dataset is a first effort toward easing the usage of end-to-end tests in research works.

n this work, special attention is paid to the problem, risk management, risk and crisis management forces and mutual communication in the Balkan region. Management and communication refers to Pejanović, L., Stojanović, S., Ristić, J.Stojanović, N. (2021). Management and Communication with Forces and Resourcesin the Emergence of Crises and Disasters in the Balkans Region.Social Communications: Theory and Practice, Vol. 12(1), 128–139.DOI: 10.51423/2524-0471-2020-12-1-32eISSN 2522-9125 pISSN 2524-0471https://new.comteka.com.ua/security forces, rescue teams and social communications. Thus, for all mentioned, destructive analyzes were used, as well as methods of analysis and content, related to the posed problem of wider-destructive proportions. In this regard, the set problems, management and communication in the occurrence or occurrence of caused threats, risks threats and crises, as well as possible consequences for lives, health and values in the region, are described and explained. It is also envisagedfor the identification and explanation of risks, threats and possible crises, both in communications and actions in combating threats. The aim of this theoretical work is to point out and prove reliable assessments and analyzes of threats, risks, and thus crises, both in risks, catastrophes and in communications and activities. Also, the work will pay attention to the planning, organization and implementation of prevention and protection, critical infrastructure, which accepts and suffers threats, risks and crises, engaged forces to reduce threats in the Balkan Region. Our main goal, plan and idea is the research among the population, in order to get broader answers, and thereby confirming knowledge of the respondents regarding the management of forces, resources and communications. Further we will apply research methods and techniques related to threat, risk, consequence and disaster management. In addition to the mentioned, methods and techniques of finding out possible and potential impacts on climate change and their consequences also are planned and will be applied. Through this article,the research aims to find out about the potential risk to the forces and means used, as well as all other participants in protection and rescue. It is also necessary to define and conceptually determine all threats, risks, hazardous, dangers and consequences that may occur due to climate change and natural disasters.

This is a book review of Researching With: A Decolonizing Approach to Community-Based Action Research by Jessica Smartt Gullion and Abigail Tilton. The authors are both university professors and Deans who respectively specialize in Sociology and Social Work. The book uses qualitative research as it seeks to merge academia with the professional world. Researching With teaches academics to come alongside their study participants and apply research in professional contexts. I offered a critical analysis of Researching With by identifying themes and concepts that will benefit both expert and beginner researchers. The book will help readers frame research questions and understand the role of oppression in research.

Social movements seeking to dismantle white supremacy within academia cast long-running debates over writing instruction in a new light. This conversation approaches these critiques as an opportunity for pedagogical reinvention. I put forward new theory that centers the social performance and psychological rewards of authenticity. I first review two essential literatures on writing instruction in sociology: (1) writing in the disciplines and (2) cultural rhetorics. This twinned review focuses on the values that inform curriculum design and how these biases and ideals shape instructors’ perceptions of student writing. I then apply research on authenticity to reflect on the self-formative challenges today’s undergraduates encounter and how these obstacles shape their relationship to learning. I argue that centering authenticity in writing instruction can help the discipline achieve its inclusive ideals because it enhances students’ sense of belonging in the discipline.


Automation or automatic control has been a growing trend in industrial fields as well as in life because of the advantages and utilities that help optimize work and reduce manpower in production. In medium and large scale automatic control systems, PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is used as the control device for the system. In production, the transmission system using motors takes a large proportion and the problem of controlling for them to operate correctly, meeting technological requirements is one of the difficulties that need to be solved. In this study, we have applied PLC to stabilize motor speed according to preset value using PID algorithm integrated in Siemens S7–1200 PLC in order to apply research results in practice. At the limit of the article, we will present the issues of PID function block configuration, programming algorithm flowchart for PLCs, and monitoring console design for a small DC motor drive system model to verify.

: The current study aims to analyze the content of the chemistry book for the third middle grade according to the skills of the 21st century for the academic year (2020-2021). To achieve this goal, a list of 21st century skills to be included in the chemistry book for the third grade was built after a series of literature, research and previous studies, as the 21st century skills tool was built with its main and sub-skills in its initial form consisted of (68) indicators distributed in three main groups and presented the list to a group of specialists in the field of curriculum and teaching methods, Thus the tool was formed in its final form of (59) sub-issue, and then analyzed the content of the chemistry book for the third grade intermediate in light of the tool skills of the 21st century and the analysis included three books in the reality (111) pages and adopted the explicit and implicit idea of a unit for recording and repetition, and the researcher found the sincerity of the analysis by presenting a random sample of analysis to a group of arbitrators and they agreed on the validity of the analysis Using the Holiste equation, stability was calculated in agreement with external analysts and with the researcher herself, and one of the most important findings of the researcher was that the chemistry book for the third grade average dissonance obtained a percentage (43.76%) By (658) repetitions    In the light of the results of the research, the researcher came up with a number of recommendations, including:-: 1 -Attention to the principle of integration between the topics of books and include them what is modern. 2 -Training teachers in educational and educational practices that lead to the development of all skills and development among learners by employing educational experiences and attitudes to apply research and exploration behavior using the skills of the 21st century. 3 -The need to conduct educational courses and workshops for teachers to increase their awareness of the importance of 21st-century skills.  . The researcher suggested completing this study several proposals, including:- 1-Study sing the level of awareness of 21st-century skills among teachers, supervisors, and school principals. 2-Study on the obstacles of developing the skills of the 21st century and developing proposed solutions.

AbstractToday’s citizens are expected to use evidence, frequently presented in the media, to inform decisions about health, behavior, and public policy. However, science misinformation is ubiquitous in the media, making it difficult to apply research appropriately. Across two experiments, we addressed how anecdotes and prior beliefs impact readers’ ability to both identify flawed science and make appropriate decisions based on flawed science in media articles. Each article described the results of flawed research on one of four educational interventions to improve learning (Experiment 1 included articles about having a tidy classroom and exercising while learning; Experiment 2 included articles about using virtual/augmented reality and napping at school). Experiment 1 tested the impact of a single anecdote and found no significant effect on either participants’ evidence evaluations or decisions to implement the learning interventions. However, participants were more likely to adopt the more plausible intervention (tidy classroom) despite identifying that it was unsupported by the evidence, suggesting effects of prior beliefs. In Experiment 2, we tested whether this intervention effect was driven by differences in beliefs about intervention plausibility and included two additional interventions (virtual reality = high plausible, napping = low plausible). We again found that participants were more likely to implement high plausible than low plausible interventions, and that evidence quality was underweighed as a factor in these decisions. Together, these studies suggest that evidence-based decisions are more strongly determined by prior beliefs than beliefs about the quality of evidence itself.

AbstractThere is an increasing awareness of the role that buildings, districts, and neighborhoods play on health in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic that coincides with pressing climate concerns. This has renewed attention to the benefits of nature for both human and climate health. Buildings, cities, and regions are attempting to align regenerative design principles with human health goals but often lack the tools and knowledge to do so. This is partly rooted in a failure to understand how to apply research and policy for different contexts as well as at different scales. It is also still uncertain exactly what types of nature can lead to which types of benefit, and for whom, despite long-standing research within the environmental psychology, sustainability, and design fields. This chapter outlines key research paradigms that influence the way we understand the benefits of nature, where biophilic design theory sits in this field, and how it can be and has been applied at different scales through two case studies at the building and city scale. This chapter ends with the proposal of new directions for integrating biophilic design into regenerative design and policy.

Abstract This book chapter discusses and presents some of the research outcomes connecting human well-being and landscapes and explores the complexities inherent in the development of a field of study. In learning more about the research, it encourages readers to keep in mind: (1) a primary goal of researching landscapes and human interactions is to help us discover more about creating or maintaining mutually beneficial relationships between humans and natural landscapes based on an understanding that the two are entwined (2) it is less expensive (financially, psychologically, and socially) to keep people healthy than to have people regain their health. If nature is accessible and helps people stay healthy, there are positive financial implications for healthcare (3) studying human interactions with landscapes through a systems approach is required to successfully operationalise and apply research to address well-being concerns equitably and globally. Socioecological research-based solutions consider a system of wellbeing incorporating both human health and environmental health (4) the positive health benefits of exposure to land and seascapes on human systems are not accessible to all populations because of economic disparities, location, and health conditions, and (5) globally, nature and human well-being relationship findings have useful implications for individual well-being, public health, and landscape design.

Yoga research is growing rapidly in volume and rigor but varies in sample size, study design, and reporting transparency. Yoga professionals may not be versed in the current research due to a lack of research literacy and may not be well positioned to discern research relevance and quality. Research literacy is necessary to apply research in yoga teaching and therapeutics. Research is part of evidence-informed practice, along with clinical experience and client preferences, and is aligned with concepts from yoga philosophy. Several strategies are available to improve research literacy and evidence-informed practice for yoga professionals, which can help to expand inter-professional collaboration and inform the trajectory of yoga research toward better alignment and application to clinical practice. Yoga research reporting guidelines will improve transparency in research dissemination for application to practice, policy, replication, comparison, and summarization.
