Open access, responsibility and the “platformization” of academic publishing
Authors: Tabarés Raúl
Published: December 2023

Digitalization was supposed to be a transformation force for the academic publishing sector, but it has reinforced the oligopoly of for-profit academic publishers. Open access (OA) was also meant to counterbalance this situation, but after a decade of efforts it seems that it has not achieved their goals. This essay explores how the combination of digitalization and OA have contributed to reinforce the lock-in effects exerted in the sector by digital platforms operated by for-profit academic publishers. I also explore alternative paths for the development of OA with the theoretical lenses that provide responsible innovation, putting social emphasis at the politics and values that lie at the heart of academia. I argue that exploitation, appropriation of labor and quantification metrics widely present in this social domain must be counterbalanced with different actions that do not focus alone in making freely available scientific articles for citizens.
Review of Rafael Ziegler’s (2020). Innovation, Ethics and Our Common Futures: A Collaborative Philosophy.
Authors: Hölsgens Rick
Published: December 2023

In his book “Innovation, Ethics and Our Common Futures: A Collaborative Philosophy,” Rafael Ziegler sets out to critically assess the notion of innovation as a driving force in modern-day (Western) economies. He asserts that ‘innovation as technological novelty for commercial use is driving us deeper in unsustainability’ (p. v), and embarks on a philosophical journey to scrutinize the concept of innovation and its role in modern economies. In doing so, Ziegler aims to develop a sufficientarian notion of innovation, calling to embrace a broad, collaborative understanding of innovation based on pluralistic modes of provision focusing not only on markets and increasing financial welfare, but instead on nature-respecting sufficientarian principles of enough is enough – ‘within justice of a minimum threshold and of respect for upper limits to resource use’ (p. 18).
Thematic Issue Presentation. Popular users: why and how innovation research started to consider users in the innovation process
Authors: Hölsgens Rick , Schubert Cornelius
Published: December 2023

Users have no doubt become popular in innovation research. They are not considered a passive mass of adopters but as a more or less active agency in innovation processes. Diffusion research has, for instance, distinguished between several adopter categories: innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. These categories can be mapped on the diffusion s-curve and indicate a temporal order along which innovations may be analysed. However, early or late adopters were still seen primarily as adopters. Concepts such as “reinvention” or “domestication” then put more emphasis on the ways in which an innovation may be changed within the adoption process. In these cases, innovations came from elsewhere (i.e., manufacturers), but the users were credited with more creative potential than simply adopting novelties. The turn towards user-driven innovations decidedly shifted the creative potential towards (specific) user groups, transgressing the traditional distinction between producers and consumers.The involvement of users in innovation processes has been addressed under different labels, for instance, user innovation, open innovation, or participatory design and from different fields such as management and innovation research, science and technology studies, or social innovation studies. The main gist of these approaches lies in reclaiming hitherto neglected aspects, perspectives, or sources of innovations, thus arguing against a top-down producer-centred models of innovation by emphasising bottom-up user-centred modes of innovation. They reconfigure ideas about pushes and pulls, about the constellations and locales in which invention and diffusion occur, and about the transformations of innovations as they emerge and evolve over time and space.This thematic issue of NOvation seeks to shed light on this increasing popularity of “the user” in innovation studies. We gather here contributions from diverse backgrounds that critically focus on the role of users in innovation studies, from empowerment and emancipation to valorisation and exploitation. We especially addressed the questions of why users have become popular both empirically and conceptually across a range of fields and spanning from academia to politics and civil society. How does user-centred innovation relate to more traditional models of producer-centred innovation? Which role do critical users play in innovation research? Are there specific fields in which users are seen to be more active than in others? Especially, who is considered to be a user or customer?
A estrutura da ação por dever nas obras de fundamentação da moralidade e no escrito sobre a religião a partir da noção de ordem moral dos móbiles
Authors: Spinelli Letícia Machado
Published: December 2023

Este artigo pretende apresentar uma análise comparativa entre as obras de fundamentação da moralidade e o escrito sobre a religião no que tange a estrutura da ação por dever. Tal análise se justifica em vista de Kant, no escrito sobre a religião, apresentar a definição da ação por dever e da ação moralmente má nos termos de hierarquia e ordem moral dos móbiles, formulação que, aparentemente, não é apresentada no ãmbito da fundamentação da moral. Dessa análise se sobressai, ainda, a necessidade de, ao menos amplamente, fornecer dados quanto a função e o aparecimento da noção de ordem moral dos móbiles no interior do discurso moral kantiano.

Agindo por "razões"
Authors: Fernandes Darley Alves
Published: December 2023

Neste artigo exploramos uma ideia apresentada brevemente na Dialética transcendental, a saber, "razão determinante", aplicando-a num contexto de uma teoria da ação. Tal concepção é apresentada em contraste com a concepção de "causa de determinante" que é uma causa no sentido causal que explica a ação, mas não a justifica, enquanto que as "razões para agir" justificam o modo de agir e de proceder do agente. A tentativa, então, é de compreender o significado desta concepção e o papel desempenhado no agir prático, visando atingir este objetivo abordaremos a estrutura prático-deliberativa do agir para identificar o que são as "razões para agir" e suas propriedades normativas e motivacionais.
Sobre a exposição metafísica dos conceitos de espaço e tempo
Authors: Jorge Filho Edgard José
Published: December 2023

Na Estética Transcendental, Kant conclui que o espaço e o tempo são formas da sensibilidade e intuições puras. Neste trabalho examina-se a exposição metafísica dos conceitos de espaço e tempo, relacionando-a com a concepção de grandezas extensivas, da Analítica Transcendental. Em seguida examina-se o procedimento adotado na Estética Transcendental para a obtenção daqueles resultados. Não se pretende considerar toda a argumentação kantiana, mas apenas alguns de seus pontos, levantando questões sobre estes. Parece que a afirmação de Kant de que a intuição pura do espaço contém em si as representações de espaços limitados é problemática e discorda do procedimento que ele se propõe seguir na Estética Transcendental. Parece que esta mesma conclusão é válida no que diz respeito ao tempo.

A metafísica freudiana: um estudo para a demarcação metodológica da filosofia freudiana a partir de Kant
Authors: Santos Eberth Eleutério dos
Published: December 2023

Da exposição oferecida por Kant em seu tratado Investigação sobre a evidência dos princípios da teologia natural e da moral (1764), aproveitamos as observações acerca da forma metodológica adequada à investigações em filosofia, distinguindo-a daquela que é própria da construção do conhecimento matemático. Essas observações servirão de base para uma tentativa de aproximação entre a forma metodológica oferecida pela metafísica, entendida como ontologia, e a metapsicologia freudiana que poderá, então, ser concebida como uma ontologia funcionando no interior de sua psicologia. Nosso intuito é entender a metapsicologia freudiana como obediente a forma metodológica que atribuímos a ontologia. Nesse sentido, a metapsicologia freudiana funcionaria como um tipo de gerador/processador de conceitos psicológicos muito fundamentais. Tomaremos o exemplo da concepção da série qualitativa prazer-desprazer, como apresentada no Projeto de uma psicologia, para descortinar o surgimento de um princípio geral para o funcionamento do aparelho psíquico: o princípio de constância. Em seguida, nos encarregaremos de mostrar que o esforço de fundamentação conceitual de Freud o conduz, quase vinte e cinco anos depois, a uma profunda reconsideração do lugar desse princípio no seio de sua teoria, principalmente com a análise da hipótese de que todos os organismos partilhariam de uma tendência ainda mais fundamental que a busca pelo prazer: a pulsão de morte.
Autonomia e o Reino dos fins
Authors: Holtman Sarah
Published: December 2023

Entre as várias formulações do imperativo categórico propostas por Kant, a Fórmula da Autonomia (de agora em diante FA) é possivelmente a mais rica, e, ao mesmo tempo, a que mais causa perplexidade. Sua riqueza é derivada de três fontes: das íntimas conexõees descritas por Kant entre esta versão do princípio moral supremo e as que vieram antes; das discussõees centrais a que dá origem - sobretudo a concepção kantiana de Reino dos Fins e a distinção entre preço e dignidade; e, finalmente, da própria noção, intrigante, de autonomia. A perplexidade surge das várias maneiras pelas quais Kant formula este princípio, do fato de este último parecer ser mais explanatório e menos capaz de guiar ações, e de incertezas sobre como, em última instância, podemos dar sentido a leis que nos obrigam porque, e somente porque, as ditamos para nós mesmos. Eu abordo cada um destes pontos acerca da FA abaixo. O objetivo é tornar vívidas as relações e aspectos que constituem a riqueza desta concepção de autonomia e, se não for possível eliminar totalmente a perplexidade, pelo menos amenizar as confusõees e preocupações mais sérias associadas a discussão de Kant. Eu termino examinando brevemente as implicações da FA e discussõees relacionadas para a filosofia prática de Kant de maneira geral.
منهج الإمام جعفر السنهوري في كتابه "الجوهر الفاخر من قراءة ابن عامر: دراسة وصفية
Authors: SAMARH SAMER
Published: December 2023

This study explores a manuscript in the Qira’at field, focusing specifically on the Qirat Imam Ibn 'Amir al-Dimashqi, known among scholars of Qira’at as "al-Mufradat al-Qur'aniyyah" (Quranic Lexical Singulars). This study aims to introduce the methodology of Imam Jaafar bin Ibrahim As-Sinhuri in his book “Al-Jawhar Al-Fakhar fi Qira’at Ibn Aamir", which stands out as one of the most comprehensive books on Al-Mufradat Al-Quraanyah, meticulously addressing a specific Quranic word, combining three disciplines in one volume: Quranic orthography, Tajweed (art of Quranic recitation), and Qira’at. The researcher utilized a descriptive approach to introduce the manuscript and its contents. Additionally, an analytical method was employed to understand the methodology used by Imam al-Sanhuri in composing this book. The study concluded with significant results, the most important of which is that Al-Sanhoury presented a unique method of presenting Quranic vocabulary, as no one before him had done so among the scholars. Moreover, he is one of the prominent Imams of Qira’at who had not received the attention and recognition they deserved for their efforts in teaching Qira’at

Healing and Antimicrobial Effects of Olea europaea L (Memecik olive oil) on Wounds in Rats
Authors: BULUT Osman , ECER Özgür , AKKOÇ Ayşe Nur , YALÇIN Semiha
Published: December 2023

This study evaluated the effectiveness of Olea europaea L. (Memecik olive oil) on wound healing in rats. A total of 63 Wistar albino rats were used to create a skin wound model. The study consisted of three groups: the control group, the olive oil group, and the positive control group (medication group). The results of the study revealed that the olive oil group exhibited faster wound healing, smaller wound areas, and a higher percentage of wound healing compared to the control and medication groups. Histopathological examination demonstrated a significant increase in epithelial tissue formation in the animals treated with olive oil. The presence of antimicrobial and antioxidant properties in olive oil may contribute to its positive effects on wound healing. The study also found that bacterial colonization increased on the second day in all groups, with the highest increase observed in the control group. However, by the 12th day, bacterial counts were found to be below the initial levels in both the olive oil and medication groups, except for the control group where it remained high. It is believed that the bacterial inhibitory effect observed in the group treated with olive oil is attributed to the phenolic compounds present in olive oil.
Mentoring Future Academics: A College Teaching Course for the Visual Arts
Authors: Hoppe Erin J. , Savage Shari L.
Published: December 2023

This article describes and examines an Ohio State University graduate-level college teaching course that was created to address a range of intersecting questions about navigating higher education teaching and learning, research, and service. The course is required for all new graduate students in the Arts Administration, Education & Policy Department. Literature on mentoring and the voices of graduate students who took the course are synthesized to address the duality of being both a student and an instructor, academia's daily challenges, and how such reflections and experiences impact personal and professional career development. Using self-study as a methodology, the authors begin with contextual information on their involvement with the course and a genealogy of the course's development, followed by a narrative analysis to examine student feedback on the course goals. We conclude with suggestions on how other higher education visual arts departments or visual arts colleges might develop similar offerings.
Black Girls and Korean Popular Culture: Embodying Identity as a Multiple Self through Portraiture Photography
Authors: Kwon Hyunji
Published: December 2023

Between the discourse of racial prejudice and sexism embedded in Korean popular music (K-pop) and the racial and gendered discourse of Black girls’ identity, I was interested in how Black girl fans of K-pop perceive and negotiate these two seemingly incompatible cultural discourses. Thus, I led a series of theme-based photography workshops during which the girl participants created portraiture photographs and took part in group discussions. In this paper, I examine their portraiture photographs using Alberto Melucci's concept of identity as a multiple self. My analysis reveals that the girls are not passive recipients of a foreign popular culture but active and strategic agents in constructing their identities, with artistic interventions increasing their response-ability and helping them embody their multiple selves.
Teaching Intentionality through Game Jams
Authors: Yolac Ahu
Published: December 2023

This article addresses game jams and similar events as pedagogical opportunities where critical learning outcomes can be generated through making. The article starts with a definition of game jams, how they are structured, and the communities around them. Then, it highlights intentional art and design practices that can be implemented in game jams and similarly structured fast-paced making practices. That is followed by how educators can leverage game jams further to implement these informal learning outcomes in a structured manner, which is exemplified through a study conducted by the author. Finally, the article concludes with a discussion where the author highlights the outcomes for educators who can apply this approach in a variety of settings. This article is important for addressing the ways game jams can be leveraged in educational settings where the learning outcomes are not only focused on skill development such as coding and modeling but also critical thinking.
Playing as People: Critical Pedagogy and Historical Role Immersion Games
Authors: Mallory Stephen R.
Published: December 2023

Educational games represent some of the most impactful educational tools in an educator's toolbox. These technologies facilitate play and encourage players to push the envelope and engage broadly with the class in subversive play. Contextualized by the broader rules and requirements of the school, school culture, and curricula, subversive play empowers players to explore the boundaries of the game while feeling an increased sense of personal agency in how the goals of the game are achieved. This exploration serves the goals of Paulo Freire's concept of critical pedagogy, where students and instructors work together, bringing their embodied experiences into the classroom to address and understand the content arrayed before them. By empowering players to engage in subversive play, students and instructors alike break from the classroom and schoolhouse norms to explore the foundations, deeper meanings, social contexts, and ideologies of the information presented, while simultaneously meeting required learning goals.

Healthy Nutrition Attitude, Sleep Quality and Musculoskeletal Disorders in University Students During Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: CİLACI Talar , ÖNEY Başak
Published: December 2023

This study aims to college students' healthy nutrition attitude, sleep status, and musculoskeletal disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In total, 165 university students participated in this research. The students filled out the Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire. The attitude toward healthy eating of 34 (20.6%) students was found to be moderate, 100 (60.6%) high, and 31 (18.8%) very high. There was no meaningful difference between groups according to having COVID-19 disease (p>0.05). Among the participants, 43 (26.06%) students were found to be good and 122 (73.94%) to be poor in terms of sleep quality. The global PSQI and sleep duration subgroup scores of those who had COVID-19 were statistically higher (p=0.010 and 0.043, respectively). The five regions with the most musculoskeletal symptoms were the upper back (78.18%), lower back (70.91%), neck (69.09%), right shoulder (55.76%) and left shoulder (49.09%). Significant differences were observed in the scores of the right wrist (p=0.009), left wrist (p=0.007), right lower leg (p=0.024), left lower leg (p=0.026), right foot (p=0.001), and left foot (p=0.009). The COVID-19 pandemic partially affected university students in terms of healthy eating attitudes and, to a greater extent, in terms of sleep and musculoskeletal disorders.
Analyzing the Personality of Party and Government Leaders: A LDA Topic Model
Authors: Yu Dengke , Le Lina
Published: December 2023

Purpose/Significance: Personalities of party and government leaders play a pivotal role in shaping their preferences, attitudes, and conduct in the context of strategic decision-making. The analysis of personality carries substantial implications for the assessment and selection of leadership cadres. The study endeavors to introduce an innovative method for scrutinizing the personalities of party and government leaders, leveraging the technological topics generated through a Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model.Methods/Procedures: Anchored in the theory of personality behavior, the study posits that discernible topics can be extracted from news reports that document the political activities of party and government leaders. These discerned topics can be employed to make inferences about their personalities. Consequently, we systematically amassed news reports chronicling the political engagements of 62 party and government leaders spanning 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in mainland China, covering their tenures in office up to 2021. Based on the LDA model, we conducted an analysis to uncover the dimensional structure of their personalities, incorporating techniques such as topic clustering and common factor extraction.Results/Conclusions: The study effectively identified six distinct personalities that correspond with Hollander's views on occupational personality. The development gave rise to a theory that specifically addresses the personalities exhibited by party and government leaders. Spatial analysis validated the presence of a spatial aggregation effect, underscoring the validity of our framework. Our study can provide implications for the training, evaluation, and designation of party and government leaders in the future.

Advice that can be given to health workers to increase knowledge about administering lemon aromatherapy and ginger aromatherapy to reduce the frequency of nausea and vomiting in first-trimester pregnant women
Harmonizing Artificial Intelligence with Islamic Values - A Thoughtful Analysis of Religious, Social, and Economic Impacts of Technological Advancements
Authors: Hemmet Abdullah
Published: December 2023

The research explored the integration of AI technologies with Islamic principles and their implications for religious, social, and economic structures in Muslim-majority countries. It used qualitative design, semi-structured interviews, and case studies to analyze digitization of the Holy Qur’an and Hadith, and AI in banking compliance with Shariah laws, focusing on lexical-semantic, syntactical, grammatical, and pragmatic issues. A few of the such AI-based Qur’an tools include KSU Qur’an (مشروع المصحف الإلكتروني بجامعة الملك سعود), Islam web, Qur’anic Arabic Corpus, Almonagib alQur’any (المنقب القرآني), Tanzil (Tanzil Documents), The Qur’an (Al-Qur’an (القرآن) - Online Qur’an Project - Translation and Tafsir) and the Noble Qur’an (The Noble Qur’an – القرآن الكريم). Islamic Fintech, which adheres to Shariah principles, is embracing innovation to streamline transactions and comply with the Holy Qur’an. AI virtual assistants like ‘Aisyah’ are being adopted by Islamic banks to streamline transactions and eliminate risks like leverage and uneven maturity. The regulatory management of Islamic FinTech includes issues like Islamic cryptocurrency rules, money creation, and eliminating ‘riba’. In Malaysia and Indonesia, digital zakat distribution and classification systems are being developed using AI to accurately classify those in need and compute financial percentages for each group. Thematic analysis revealed that human-inspired, analytical, and humanized AI has led to its significant impact on various aspects of life, society, and employment. Nonetheless, AI cannot substitute for the profound comprehension and knowledge of Islamic jurists, alongside human reasoning and intellectual competence. Job displacement and ethical concerns of accuracy, transparency, fairness, and accountability remain significant challenges for society.

Published: December 2023

This publication is part of a wider study which aims at evaluating Women Economic Empowerment programme, which is being implemented by the Women Empowerment Link (WEL) in several counties across Kenya, since 2015. In Nakuru the programme targeted grassroot women in table banking. To make the evaluation comprehensive in determining the level of women economic empowerment, this study adopted Kabeer’s (2005) theoretical framework for measuring women’s empowerment. The objective of the study was to establish the extent to which table banking had increased women economic empowerment in Nakuru County. Specifically, the study sought to assess the extent to which; the WEL’s project had enhanced women’s participation in county governance, women’s participation in the project had increased access to services and resources; and finally Identify success stories, lessons learnt and challenges that women in the project encountered. The study reached a total of 206 out of the 473 women who had been trained on basic financial literacy from 35 table banking groups. In each of the selected groups, three officials (the chairperson, secretary and the treasurer) and three members participated in the study. Key informants, 2 gender officers, 1 gender champion also participated. Data analysis revealed that 80% of the women were business owners, 10.21% were employed while 6.6% were domestic workers. The study’s findings revealed that WEL’s programme on Strengthening Inclusive Leadership had mixed results in enhancing participation of women in leadership and governance. Only half of the women at 49.51% had offered themselves for leadership and governance positions yet their capacities and availability to participate in leadership and governance were rated very high. The study also found that women’s participation in the WEL’s project had increased access to services, resources and women’s participation in governance opportunities to a large extent. Finally, the study appreciated that the WEL project in Nakuru targeted most vulnerable, low income i.e., economically vulnerable grassroots women. Among the obstacles found to be hindering Women Economic Empowerment were poverty, high level of illiteracy and lack of information. Among other recommendations, women requested additional seed capital from either WEL or County Government to increase their borrowing power within their groups and expand adult literacy programme by the County Government. The study also recommended concerted campaign to include more women in leadership and governance.

Published: December 2023

Background:
The protozoan Toxoplasma gondii is the source of the zoonosis Toxoplasmosis. and causes public health problems throughout the world. Environmental contamination by oocysts excreted by cats as definitive hosts affects the spread of this disease. Wild rats as rodents can be used as an indicator of environmental contamination by oocysts, considering that rats have a habit of living in dirty environments and can be infected by oocysts from the environment.
Aim:
This study aims to detection of toxoplasmosis from tissue cysts and serological test in wild rats as an indicator of environmental contamination in Surabaya.
Methods:
A total of 100 wild rats collected from Surabaya were collected in five areas (west, east, central, north, and south Surabaya) obtained from three trapping locations: housing, dense settlements, and markets. All samples were examined microscopically for parasitological tests through the brain tissue samples, and the serum was examined using the ToMAT (Toxoplasma Modified Agglutination Test) to detect the presence of Ig G and Ig M.
Results:
The results showed that the seroprevalence of T. gondii in wild rats was 31% (30% for Ig G and 1% for Ig M). Tissue cysts in the rat brain samples tested were 19% (19/100).Ig G prevalence rate in female rats was 25% (8/32) while for males it was 32.3% (22/68). The highest seropositive Ig G from densely populated settlements was 50%, markets were 25.8%, and housing was 12.1%. The highest seropositive Ig M from densely populated settlements was 2.8%. Population density and the presence of cats are factors supporting the high seropositive rate at the trapping location.
Conclusion:
This study revealed that there has been Toxoplasmosis contamination in Surabaya with evidance of 31% in serology and active infection with 19% tissue cyst. It is necessery for controling with survailance in cats to prevent transmission in humans.

Bugungi kunda Oʻzbekistonda mavjud korxona va tashkilotlar soni 600 mingga yaqinni tashkil etmoqda. Albatta, ularning faoliyatini oʻrganish, ishlab chiqarish tizimlarini takomillashtirish butun mamlakatga katta foyda olib keladi. Turli olimlar korxonalarda ishlab chiqarish va ish yuritish boʻyicha uzoq yillardan buyon ilmiy tadqiqotlar olib borishmoqda. Bu albatta oʻz natijasini koʻrsatdi. 100 yil oldinga qaraganda korxonalarda bir birlik mahsulot ishlab chiqarish uchun sarflanadigan vaqt va mehnat ancha kamaydi, biroq sifat va unumdorlik ancha oshdi. Oʻzbekistonda ham bu tajribani qoʻllash va keng joriy etish koʻp sohalarda ijobiy natijalar berishiga ishonamiz. Ushbu maqolada Oʻzbekistondagi sanoat korxonalari, ulardan ba’zi korxonalar, MDH davlatlaridan va Xalqaro miqyosdagi ba’zi korxonalar faoliyati oʻrganiladi va ularda “Just in time” modelini qoʻllash boʻyicha tahlil, taklif va tavsiyalar beriladi.

A Call for “Trans-action”: The Role of Enacted Stigma in Mediating the Relationship between School Climate and School Attachment among Gender Minority Students
Authors: Peter Tracey , Taylor Catherine , Edkins Tamara
Published: December 2023

Several studies have highlighted the association between enacted stigma with various mental health and educational disparities among sexual minority students, but fewer have done so with an exclusive gender minority sample and even less have included school attachment as an outcome measure. The purpose of the current analyses is to test the main effects that an LGBTQ-inclusive school context as well as enacted stigma has on school attachment, and whether enacted stigma acts as a mediator. Results show that exposure to enacted stigma is a risk factor for low school attachment, while a supportive LGBTQ-inclusive school climate is a protective one, and that the relationship between an inclusive climate and school attachment is significantly mediated by enacted stigma. Within a theoretically informed lens, these findings represent a notable contribution to educational research in terms of the importance of providing a healthy school environment for gender minority students. Si plusieurs études ont souligné le lien entre la stigmatisation effective et diverses disparités portant sur la santé mentale et l’éducation chez des élèves appartenant à une minorité sexuelle, moins d’entre elles ont porté exclusivement sur un échantillon composé d’une minorité sexuelle et encore moins ont inclus l’intérêt pour l’école parmi les mesures de résultats. L’objectif de nos analyses est d’évaluer les incidences principales qu’ont, d’une part, un contexte scolaire inclusif face à la population LGBTQ et, d’autre part, la stigmatisation effective, sur l’intérêt pour l’école. Nous cherchons également à savoir si la stigmatisation effective joue un rôle de médiateur. Les résultats indiquent que l’exposition à la stigmatisation effective constitue un facteur de risque pour une mauvaise relation avec l’école, qu’un climat scolaire inclusif face à la population LGBTQ est un facteur de protection et que le rapport entre un climat inclusif et l’intérêt pour l’école est modifié considérablement par la stigmatisation effective. Dans une optique fondée sur les théories actuelles, ces résultats représentent une contribution notable à la recherche en éducation en évoquant l’importance de fournir un milieu scolaire sain pour les élèves appartenant à une minorité sexuelle.
Solo Based-Cognition Levels of Inductive Reasoning in Geometry
Authors: Gagani Ray Ferdinand Medallo , Misa Roderick O
Published: December 2023

Inductive reasoning is one of the essential forms of thinking in mathematical discoveries and is useful in the workplace of any field. This investigation examines and characterizes the cognition levels and developmental trends in the inductive reasoning of 27 top-performing prospective mathematics teachers from three universities in Cebu City, Philippines. Participants were given a test questionnaire to assess the use of inductive task items. An in-depth analysis of the solution processes and the utilization of clustering through percentile quartiles generated two levels of cognition that support the SOLO taxonomy model. The levels are derived from a modified checklist that was based on the SOLO taxonomy. The findings support a trend of cognition for inductive reasoning ability in geometry and suggest that incoherence and the inability to connect learning to new task obstructs success. Participants who were unsuccessful in lower level tasks were not effective in higher level tasks. Le raisonnement inductif est une des formes essentielles de pensée dans les découvertes en mathématiques, et est utile dans les milieux de travail de n’importe quel domaine. Cette étude analyse et caractérise les niveaux de cognition et les tendances en raisonnement inductif chez 27 des meilleurs futurs enseignants de mathématiques de trois universités à Cebu City, Philippines. Les participants ont complété un questionnaire visant l’évaluation de l’emploi des items impliquant un raisonnement inductif. Une analyse approfondie des processus de solution et de l’emploi du regroupement par des percentiles et des quartiles a généré deux niveaux de cognition qui appuient le modèle de la taxonomie SOLO sur les objectifs d’apprentissage. Les niveaux découlent d’une liste de vérification modifiée et basée sur la taxonomie SOLO. Les résultats appuient une tendance en cognition portant sur la capacité de raisonner de façon inductive en géométrie, et portent à croire que l’incapacité à lier l’apprentissage aux nouvelles tâches entrave la réussite. Les participants qui ne réussissaient pas les tâches de niveau bas n’étaient pas performants avec les tâches de niveau plus élevé.
Loving Language: Poetry, Curriculum, & Ted T. Aoki
Authors: Leggo Carl
Published: December 2023

As a curriculum researcher and poet, I am committed to honouring complexity, asking questions, acknowledging tensions, and challenging answers. As curriculum theorists, scholars, and educators, we need to attend to language. Ted T. Aoki (2005a) reminds us to attend to “the voice of play in the midst of things—a playful singing in the midst of life” (p. 282). Poetry can invigorate our curriculum studies by helping us imagine new ways of attending to language, new ways of knowing and becoming, and new ways of inquiring about living experiences. In this paper, I offer a sequence of poems, anecdotes, and ruminations composed as responses to Ted T. Aoki’s curriculum scholarship. En tant que poète et chercheur penché sur les programmes d’études, je suis engagé à respecter la complexité, à poser des questions, à reconnaitre des tensions et à remettre en question les réponses. Comme théoriciens du curriculum, universitaires et éducateurs, nous devons porter attention à la langue. Ted T. Aoki (2005a) nous rappelle de porter attention à « la voix ludique au milieu des choses – un chant joueur au milieu de la vie » (p. 282). La poésie peut dynamiser nos études de curriculum en nous aidant à imaginer de nouvelles façons de concevoir la langue, de nouvelles façons de savoir et de devenir, et de nouvelles façons d’étudier le vécu. Dans cet article, j’offre une série de poèmes, d’anecdotes et de ruminations composés en guise de réponses aux recherches de Ted T. Aoki sur les programmes d’études.
INVESTIGATION OF TURKISH NURSES' ATTITUDES TOWARDS BRAIN DRAIN

Published: December 2023

Background and Aims: In recent years, there has been a significant brain drain in the health sector due to healthcare workers migrating abroad to work. This study analyzes the push and pull factors that prompt nurses to leave the country.

Methods: The sample of the cross-sectional and descriptive study consists of 270 nurses working in Istanbul. The researchers used a questionnaire to collect data on the nurses' demographic information, work history, and attitudes toward brain drain. The data collected was analyzed using statistical tests such as Chi-Square, Independent two sample T-test, Kruskal Wallis, and Pearson Correlation test. A statistical significance level of 0.05 was used to determine the significance of the results.

Results: The mean age of the nurses was 33.6±8.95 years, and the mean working period was 10.8±9.27 years. Most were female, married, and had a bachelor's degree. Fifteen percent of the participants had attempted to go abroad, 53% were only at the thought stage, and 32% stated that they did not want to go abroad. The scores for both push and pull factors were significantly higher among those who wanted to go abroad than those who did not (p
