With rapid advances in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotics, their application has expanded across various surgical fields, including pancreatobiliary surgery. Numerous studies have demonstrated the feasibility and potential benefits of MIS. Hepaticojejunostomy, a procedure creating a connection between the hepatic duct and the jejunum, is primarily used to bypass biliary obstructions or during operations that involve bile duct resection, such as pancreatoduodenectomy or choledochal cyst excision. Proficiency in minimally invasive hepaticojejunostomy techniques is essential for surgeons in this evolving field. This video presents a detailed, step-by-step guide to the principles and techniques of performing hepaticojejunostomy using both laparoscopic and robotic platforms.

Authors: Rezaei-Bazkiaei Amir , Masero Sonny
Published: December 2024

For Ivanhoé Cambridge, the global real estate group of CDPQ, and Hines, decarbonisation is not merely an environmental stance, it is an innovative approach to long-term real estate value. Through rigorous research, it is known that high-tier green buildings are truly the ones that stand out. They consistently perform better, attracting more occupants and ensuring sustainable financial returns. Stepping into an office that embodies green ideals is more than ever a necessity from the business standpoint — a dream in the making in places like Chicago, as the owner and management team embark on a research and analysis phase to better understand the implications of practical decarbonisation. Chicago is much more than a cultural hub; it is taking significant strides in urban sustainability. The team represented in this paper is leveraging the city’s momentum. The goal? To navigate the complexities of decarbonisation planning, however daunting it may sound. This paper sheds light on the approach taken in the journey of decarbonisation planning for two major Ivanhoé Cambridge assets in Chicago. The focus is to highlight opportunities rather than solutions and to offer a few examples of what has been successful, even though the implementation phase of the capital projects for these assets is nowhere near completion. The vision is laid out in the local context and from the vantage point of tenants, local energy sources and practical solutions at building level. At the end, a dash of colour is added to the numbers and strategies: visual storytelling. Translating intricate carbon data into comprehensive visuals brings clarity. As we embark on this path, each graph and chart becomes a pivotal chapter in our unfolding narrative toward realising decarbonisation across the entire portfolio.
US manufacturing resurgence : How site selectors can unlock the potential of US locations
Authors: Bennett Nicole , Harris Ben
Published: December 2024

Over the past three years, disruptions to supply chains worldwide have been the norm, bringing the impacts of globalisation and the importance of well-functioning supply chains into sharper focus. As a result, businesses are proactively exploring new ways to diversify their supply chains, and in the US, a major component of diversification is manufacturing. In this paper, we explore the current trends of manufacturing real estate, including how companies are pursuing a data-driven selection process to identify the optimal site to locate, illustrated by a compelling case study. The US manufacturing market is resurgent, and many occupiers are evaluating the opportunity to establish or relocate their production facilities. They are navigating an ongoing challenge of labour shortages, high power demands of manufacturing and low vacancies in the sector overall. This paper presents a case study, Project Apex, to demonstrate how site selectors navigate this landscape with their clients. This step-by-step analysis reveals how 126 locations on the longlist were narrowed down to 16 locations for site visits and, ultimately, three finalists for the manufacturing client to review. The paper outlines best practices for site selectors during every phase of the project while considering the challenges and current landscape.

Published: December 2024

The modern world establishes new demands in education, necessitating innovative approaches to professional training. Integrating artificial intelligence, neuropedagogy, and the competency-based approach emerges as a cornerstone for creating effective vocational education models. This study aimed to develop and test innovative models that combine the capabilities of artificial intelligence (including smart robotics) with neuropedagogical competency-based strategies to enhance the effectiveness of vocational education. The research methodology encompassed an analysis of contemporary literature and practices, the development of experimental models integrating artificial intelligence into the educational process, and empirical investigations in educational institutions. Analysis, synthesis, modelling, observation, and experimentation methods were employed. The proposed innovative models include personalised learning platforms with adaptive algorithms, intelligent systems for analysing learners’ emotional states, virtual environments and gamified simulations, as well as robotic automated assessment and reporting systems in vocational education. The integration of artificial intelligence into neuropedagogical processes facilitates personalised learning, enhances learners’ motivation, and fosters the development of critical thinking. Artificial intelligence enables the creation of adaptive educational platforms that cater to the individual characteristics and needs of learners. Its implementation also automates routine tasks for educators, allowing them to focus on the creative aspects of the educational process. The findings highlight the significance of integrating artificial intelligence into vocational education as a means to enhance its competitiveness. Given the dynamic advancement of technologies, future research is expected to explore immersive neurointerfaces for developing engaging interactive learning environments, as well as the ethical considerations surrounding the use of artificial intelligence in education, with an emphasis on critical thinking. The results of the study are of practical value for the development of innovative educational technologies and approaches that meet the contemporary demands of the labour market and the expectations of progressive youth
SELETIVIDADE ALIMENTAR EM CRIANÇAS COM TRANSTORNO DO ESPECTRO AUTISTA (TEA): UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Monteiro Mariana de Sousa , Soares Lorena Sousa
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neuropsychiatric condition that impacts the development of social interaction, communication and child behavior. Refusal of certain foods is related to consistency, smell, appearance, temperature and taste. Objectives: To understand eating behavior related to food selectivity in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder through scientific literature. Methodology: The search for scientific productions was carried out via the CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel) Journals portal, through the CAfe (Federated Academic Community) option, Medical Literature and Retrieval Online (Medline/Pubmed), Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Lilacs and Scopus (Elsevier). Fourteen articles were selected after having been submitted to these exclusion criteria: texts in languages ​​other than Portuguese, English and Spanish, duplicate texts and works with an inadequate guiding question. Discussions: The discussion of the work was based on three categories: Factors related to children with ASD; Impact on family relationships; and Strategies for dealing with eating behavior. It was reported that sensory changes were correlated with the ingestion of less food, specifically sensitivity to oral texture. Parents of children with ASD experience higher levels of stress than parents of children with typical development, since mealtimes often involve crying, throwing objects, pushing food away, and other manifestations of food refusal. Food should be worked on as a mediator of connections that pass through the sensory field: smelling, touching, and licking. Conclusion: The relationship between sensory changes and food selectivity is evident, making it essential to understand the functioning of sensory systems and their interference in the feeding process. It is essential to highlight the need for and availability of specialized services and multidisciplinary care that must be provided to ensure early diagnosis, treatment, and promotion of the development of children with ASD.

Authors: Benvindo Bruna Lohanna Osório , Macêdo Grasielle dos Santos , Cipriano Lucas Rodrigues , Cardoso Leonardo Luis Batista
Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho trata do período gestacional, caracterizado por alterações fisiológicas que podem causar problemas, como hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) e diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG) Essas condições requerem intervenções medicamentosas específicas, que podem causar reações adversas. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as interações medicamentosas em gestantes tratadas para HAS e DMG. Esta pesquisa qualitativa descritiva está fundamentada em uma revisão narrativa da literatura. Estudos foram identificados nas bases SciELO, PubMed e Google Acadêmico nos anos de 2019 a 2024. Os resultados demonstram que o excesso de ferro pode afetar a função pancreática e aumentar a resistência à insulina, enquanto a interação entre ferro e metildopa reduz sua absorção, podendo causar anemia e dificultar o controle da pressão arterial; além disso, o uso prolongado de metformina pode diminuir os níveis de vitamina B12, e a suplementação de folato (≥400 μg/dia) pode reduzir o risco de diabetes gestacional. Ademais, o manejo adequado inclui ajustes nas doses, monitoramento de parâmetros clínicos e a priorização de alternativas terapêuticas seguras. Portanto, a atenção farmacêutica é fundamental para reduzir os riscos associados ao uso de medicamentos, especialmente na saúde materno-fetal, onde intervenções inadequadas podem trazer sérias consequências para a mãe e o bebê. Esse cuidado inclui o acompanhamento contínuo, garantindo segurança em todas as etapas do tratamento, desde a seleção das terapias até o monitoramento de interações e efeitos adversos. Além disso, envolve orientar as gestantes sobre o uso correto de medicamentos e suplementos, como o ácido fólico, essencial na prevenção de complicações gestacionais. Assim, o farmacêutico contribui para a saúde e o bem-estar materno-fetal, assegurando decisões terapêuticas fundamentadas em evidências.

Inyecciones intravítreas, degeneración macular asociada a la edad e hipertensión ocular
Authors: Sánchez-Monroy Jorge , Munuera Rufas Inés
Published: December 2024

La edad es un factor de riesgo para desarrollar glaucoma y también degeneración macular asociada a la edad (DMAE). La DMAE se trata con fármacos llamados antiangiogénicos (anti-VEGF) que se administran mediante inyecciones intravítreas en esquemas terapéuticos que requieren que ese acto sea repetitivo en el tiempo. La administración de tratamientos intravítreos se ha asociado a la producción de un pico hipertensivo que podrá ser agudo y transitorio, aunque a veces ocasionará un aumento de la presión intraocular sostenida y crónica. Un corto intervalo entre inyecciones (< de 8 semanas), una elevada cantidad de inyección (más de 7 al año), pacientes con cámara estrecha, fáquicos y con diagnóstico previo de glaucoma, son los principales factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de una elevación sostenida de la PIO tras el tratamiento intravítreo con antiangiogénicos. Por lo tanto, en esta revisión se ha evaluado la evidencia científica publicada respecto de la relación existente entre la administración de antiangiogénicos intravítreos y la elevación de la presión intraocular, tanto a corto como a largo plazo. Finalmente, se resalta la importancia de identificar a los pacientes con alto riesgo de desarrollar hipertensión ocular tras el uso de inyecciones intravítreas y la necesidad de adoptar medidas que reduzcan tal riesgo, como la administración de hipotensores tópicos antes de la inyección.
Palabras clave: degeneración macular asociada a la edad, glaucoma, antiangiogénicos, anti-VEGF, inyecciones intravítreas.

Authors: Ortiz-Basso Tomás , Córdoba María Soledad , Paladini Ariel
Published: December 2024

Objetivo: La diabetes es un factor de riesgo controvertido para el desarrollo de glaucoma. La inclusión de la detección precoz del glaucoma dentro de los programas de tele-screening de retinopatía diabética sigue siendo un tema de debate. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la prevalencia de glaucoma en un programa de tele-screening para la detección precoz de la retinopatía diabética.Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal evaluando el número de personas con glaucoma dentro de una población con diabetes. Se incluyeron pacientes que participaron en un programa de tele-screening de retinopatía diabética llevado a cabo en la provincia de La Pampa (Argentina). Se realizó un cuestionario para verificar la presencia de glaucoma y las características generales de los participantes. Además, se evaluó la agudeza visual con y sin estenopeico, la presión intraocular con tonómetro de rebote y el fondo de ojo mediante retinografía.Resultados: Se incluyó un total de 2.743 pacientes con diabetes. La prevalencia de glaucoma fue del 5,0% (IC 95% 4,3%-5,9%). Se observó una mayor prevalencia de retinopatía diabética en personas con glaucoma (33,9% versus 21,0%, p=0,001). Además, a través del programa de tele-screening se detectaron 314 personas con hipertensión ocular.Conclusión: La prevalencia de glaucoma dentro de la población estudiada fue mayor que en otros estudios donde se evaluó a la población general. Considerando que la ceguera por glaucoma y diabetes es prevenible, es importante pensar en la asociación entre ambas patologías para implementar programas de tele-screening.

Authors: Venancio Pablo , Faretta Martina , Valeiras Andrea
Published: December 2024

Objetivo: Presentar un caso clínico del síndrome de Vogt Koyanagi Harada like por terapia antineoplásica con inhibidores de puntos de control inmunitario como lo es el nivolumab en un paciente con antecedente de cáncer de riñón estadio III.
Caso clínico: Paciente masculino de 67 años diagnosticado en 2004 de cáncer de riñón cuyo tratamiento inicial consistió en resección quirúrgica con resultados satisfactorios, hasta que en el año 2015 en una tomografía computada de control se evidenciaron ganglios linfáticos infiltrados. Se inició tratamiento oncológico con diferentes drogas antineoplásicas pertenecientes al grupo de inhibidores de tirosina quinasa sin obtener resultados terapéuticos favorables, por lo que se decidió iniciar tratamiento con nivolumab (anticuerpo monoclonal) en 2017. Meses más tarde ese fármaco debió ser suspendido porque el paciente presentaba un cuadro compatible con Vogt Koyanagi Harada like luego de habérsele administrado nivolumab, lo cual llevó a considerarse un grave efecto adverso oftalmológico.
Conclusión: En pacientes tratados con nivolumab es importante la realización del control y seguimiento oftalmológico ante la posible aparición de efectos adversos como el VKH-like.

رد شبهة الاستدلال بقبر النبي (صلى الله عليه وسلم) والتمييز بين منهج القدماء والمحدثين
Authors: زيدان براء سامي
Published: December 2024

يتناول هذا البحث مفهومين خاطئين في الفقه والعقيدة الإسلامية: استخدام قبر النبي محمد (صلى الله عليه وسلم) داخل المسجد النبوي كدليل على جواز بناء المساجد على القبور، والتفريق المزعوم بين منهجية العلماء المتقدمين والمتأخرين في تقييم الحديث. يتناول الجزء الأول من البحث الرد على الحجة التي تقول إن وجود قبر النبي في المسجد يبرر بناء الأضرحة على قبور الصالحين، ويثبت أن دفن النبي (صلى الله عليه وسلم) كان بعيدًا عن هدف تشجيع عبادة القبور أو تقديسها، بل كان لتجنب الغلو فيها. أما الجزء الثاني فيناقش الشبهة التي تزعم أن العلماء المتأخرين يستخدمون القواعد الثابتة فقط في تصحيح وتضعيف الأحاديث بينما كان العلماء المتقدمين يعتمدون على القرائن والسياقات، مؤكداً أن استخدام القرائن يعد جزءًا أساسيًا من منهج التقييم للحديث في حالة مخالفة الحديث للقاعدة المعتمدة.
من خلال دراسة الأحاديث الصحيحة الواردة في كتب الحديث مثل صحيح البخاري وصحيح مسلم، وتحليل النصوص الفقهية، يخلص البحث إلى أن كل من تحريمه لبناء المساجد على القبور والتمسك بالمنهجية العلمية في تصحيح الحديث متسقان مع ممارسات وتعاليم العلماء الأوائل. يهدف البحث إلى توضيح هذه المسائل والتأكيد على أهمية الحفاظ على نقاء السنة النبوية.

Some bacteria may be used as biocontrol agents against fungal pathogens. Biocontrol agents are environment friendly and cost effective for controlling different plant pathogens. Fungal plant pathogens cause detrimental effects on plants causing diseases and yield loss. The bacterial strains Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus subtilis live abundantly in rhizospheric soil and have antagonistic activity against other organisms. The objective of present study was to isolate and identify the Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus subtilis from rhizospheric soil of Triticum aestivum and their use as biocontrol agents against Fusarium oxysporum and Botrytis cinerea. The culture method, microscopic analysis and biochemical methods were used for initially screening of bacteria strain found in rhizospheric soil of Triticum aestivum. The biochemical and molecular tests resulted in the identification of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus from rhizospheric soil of Triticum aestivum. 16s rRNA sequence analysis confirmed the presence of Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens. Biocontrol activities of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus were visualized on potato dextrose agar “PDA” + 0.5% yeast extract plate. Bacillus subtilis showed the maximum biocontrol activity against Fusarium oxysporum and Botrytis cinerea. Pseudomonas fluorescens showed activity against Fusarium oxysporum but did not show any activity against Botrytis cinerea. Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens inhibited the development of plant pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Botrytis cinerea. Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens may be used as biofertilizer and biopesticides.

雨傘運動日漸遠離，曾經在佔領現場湧現政治希望、熱情和等待，似乎已成過去，逐漸被我們遺忘。相反，事後的失敗情緒、當下反送中運動反覆出現的瓶頸，困囿了我們對未來的想像。

　　或許，這正是閱讀《民現》的最好時機。在佔領結束、雨傘運動看似失敗的「其後」，《民現》讓我們另覓思考城市和民主的路徑。

　　民現，即「民眾現身」。向來隱沒於城市、營營役役的民眾，在七十九日的雨傘佔領中現身──他們平靜，卻為城市帶來極大不便；他們以行動帶出政治訴求，同時產生了大量文化產品、藝術品和紀錄片。《民現》從佔領區內示威者的親身經驗出發，藉由這宗民眾現身事件，探索佔領如何是一種共居實踐。

　　彭麗君通過細讀漢娜．阿倫特的政治理論，再並置香港的政治困局與實踐，嘗試繞過以國家為本的主權，把我們領向以城市為本的民主。當我們討論香港的前程，往往以香港的核心價值──自由與法治為基點，《民現》嘗試以「城市權」，開闢另類的政治想像：我們能否超越現時的民族國家體制，發展出一套以城市為本的民主？能否既繞過國家，又與國家共存，與之分享、匯集和劃分主權？

傘運所帶來的象徵性力量，可以揭示歷史，也可以打破歷史。

　　《民現》並非雨傘運動的歷史總結，而是嘗試開啟這座城市和城中民眾的政治潛能。通過了解歷史，擁抱當下，再直面民主和伴隨而來的危機，我們或許能活出一個未知但屬於自己的將來。

卡卡女性主義
Authors: Halberstam J. Jack
Published: December 2024

為何這麼多女人單身？為何這麼多男人抗拒婚姻？為何這麼多男同性戀者和女同性戀者養育嬰兒？

　　在《卡卡女性主義》中，傑克（朱迪斯）．哈伯斯坦回答這些問題之餘，還嘗試說明，過去幾十年來哪些文化轉變改寫了性別和性相的政治。這新的圖景色彩繽紛，涵蓋了現象如懷孕男人、老來女同性戀者、海綿寶寶和酷兒家庭。這些活生生的現象與主導流行媒體的異性戀常規敘事如斯不同，我們該如何理解當中的差距呢？哈伯斯坦提出，我們可以擁抱混亂！哈伯斯坦既機智又尖銳，揭示了在繽紛的現象和常規之間，我們可以找到斷裂的空間，以新的形式去思考性、愛和婚姻。

　　女神卡卡就是這新時代的象徵。哈伯斯坦嫻熟地指出這位世界巨星的象徵意義。結果是甚麼呢？帶來撩人的宣言，帶來二十一世紀性與性別的地圖，帶來使性別和性相流動的女性主義。女神卡卡就是這場新的女性主義的代表人物。

　　《卡卡女性主義》既是手冊，亦是指南，也是性的說明書。這書認真地檢視異性戀之崩毀，並在廢墟中尋找路標，使我們可以以新的方式去做性、做性別、做卡卡。
蜜糖不壞︰華語80後導演訪談
Authors: 曾 慶宏
Published: December 2024

影像製造已變成全民的日常玩意，手機拍出銀幕大電影，沒有言大。如果拍電影是這麼簡單的 話，那麼我們更加要問：什麼是好電影？在這個時代，應該拍什麼電影？有別於一般作者，獨 立導演在社會文化中有特別的角色，他們往往在製作電影的過程中強調自身對社會和藝術的強 烈想法，在他們製作電影的同時，往往與固有的主流思想與創作方法保持距離，砥礪有時，抗 衡更為常見。所謂的「獨立精神」不在於分辨一部電影屬於商業還是地下製作，而應該討論導 演到底在創作過程中「獨立於什麼」。在質性研究裡面，我們可以不追求一個完美的定義，我 們重視的是一個現象是如何發生的。

　　本書作者特別關心新生代的故事。每個作者都有一個創作的進程，但不是每一位都能在走到最 後時莫忘初衷，因此在他們起步時好好作一個紀錄變得尤其重要。什麼人訪問什麼人，作者同 是一位 80 後創作者，他帶著滿腦子對創作與社會的疑問走遍兩岸四地，逐一拜訪 12 位新晉導 演，從對話中互相學習，也一直反省布爾迪厄的文化理論。在 12 篇對談中，讀者將感受到 80 後創作者對電影和社會的想法，他們都是能把自己的想法有效實踐的同代人。他們的初衷，分 分鐘會成為他日某電影大師的回顧。蜜糖不會腐壞，象徵著作者對 12 位同路人的期許。

再現梅窩：從香港離島農業社區史看鄉郊復育新未來，探索超越城鄉對立的地方營造
Authors: 龍 子維 , 黃 山 , 陳 寧生 , 費 越
Published: December 2024

收錄十二位梅窩新舊居民、復耕者與保育者之故事與1960年代梅窩村落地圖
詳實鉤沉自1950年代起之梅窩地方史及香港離島農業流變
以人、文、地、景、產
打開超越「繁榮」vs「衰落」框架的梅窩農業社區之書

　　「好老土」研究團隊結合在地經驗與歷史鉤沉，發掘「旅遊勝地」和「偏遠海島」以外的梅窩面貌──一個在五十至八十年代生機盎然的「農業樞紐」，一個千禧年後因緣際會形成的「離島多元社區」。書中既有稻、菜、果種植如何形塑海島的農業鄉郊文化景觀的細緻描繪，亦有「好老土」在梅窩介入社區網絡、搭建關係人口圈的務實經驗；既有鉅細靡遺的「考古」，亦有高瞻遠矚的「考今」。在發展主義與保育議題並駕齊驅的當下，研究團隊藉梅窩農業的今昔風貌，致力打破「自然」和「人為」的保育觀念壁壘，提出鄉村社區營造的新方向。

當下的梅窩農業不是某種純粹的遺跡，也不是完全嶄新的工程，而是需要被不斷理解、反覆命名，並通過當代人參與而延續的某種可能性。

* 隨書附贈全彩1960年代梅窩村落地圖，一覽「農業樞紐」的水文地理與人文物產
尚未劇終：文學文化短論集
Authors: Wong Chi-hung
Published: December 2024

以文本識文化　以經典識日常

衣食住行、浮世物戀，如何鉤沉詩意？
為甚麼要說一個好故事？說好故事有「程式」可隨嗎？
「傷春」何為？「悲秋」何為？理解作者的心理狀態如何影響我們評價藝術作品？

　　「閱讀理解」不僅是一份考卷的分類與名字，而是一種關乎溝通的智性運作──讀者／觀眾動用既有知識與經驗，有策略地了解、推論、驗證文本，並據此建構意義，試圖共情，進而吸收知識。從文學藝術到廣告文案、從流行曲到電玩遊戲、從大螢幕光影到日常對話，我們持續動用閱讀的技能，攻破讓學子叫苦連天、急需各種速成「攻略」的關卡。

　　從文學生徒到文學研究者，黃自鴻教授以自身識趣揭櫫鍳賞文學藝術。他喜歡《教父》也喜歡《多啦A夢》，讀杜甫也熱愛搖滾樂，學堂之外亦有閒追看最新韓劇與動漫，各類文學文化理論也從不落下，順手拈來的一篇篇散論文章，盡言文學賞析並非難於攀登的空中樓閣，而是實在地存在於生活、流轉於每次閱讀／觀影／對話的人之本能。

Navigating challenges and enhancing effectiveness: insights from tutors on the art of tutorial delivery
Authors: Lekota Tebogo
Published: December 2024

This study investigated the challenges faced by tutors in delivering effective tutorial sessions and the strategies they employed to enhance the learning experience in higher education. The study employed a qualitative research approach to explore tutors´ challenges and strategies in delivering effective tutorial sessions, emphasizing in-depth understanding and rich descriptive insights. The research was grounded in the interpretivism paradigm, which seeks to understand participants´ experiences and perspectives within their social and educational contexts. The study utilized a case study design, focusing on a specific group of tutors to provide detailed insights into their experiences and practices in higher education tutorial delivery. The sample size comprised 28 purposefully selected tutors. Participant selection was guided by relevance to the research focus, and data collection was concluded upon reaching data saturation. Grounded in Social Constructivism and Situated Learning Theory, the researcher used semi-structured interviews to collect data from the purposefully selected participants. The data collection process was restricted by data saturation. Accordingly, reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze data. The findings revealed that tutors encounter diverse student needs, difficulties in fostering active participation, knowledge gaps, and time constraints. To address these challenges, tutors employed strategies such as creating supportive learning environments, utilizing active learning techniques, incorporating technology, adapting to individual learning styles, and providing constructive feedback. The study concluded with the insights gathered from experienced tutors highlighting the significant challenges they face, such as accommodating diverse learning styles, addressing knowledge gaps, and managing time constraints. The recommendations for professional development, mentoring, flexible curriculum design, and regular feedback mechanisms, are aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of tutorial delivery and ultimately improving student learning outcomes in higher education. By implementing these recommendations, educational institutions can enhance the effectiveness of tutorial delivery, ultimately leading to improved student engagement, academic success, and a richer learning experience in higher education.
אזור הדמדומים של הזהות: ניווט בסדר החברתי הלבן בקרב דור שני ליוצאי אתיופיה בישראל
Authors: ביסהוור מזל
Published: December 2024

הותו של יליד הארץ ממוצא אתיופי סבוכה ומרובדת, והדבר מקשה על גיבוש זהות קוהרנטית ויציבה. חשיפה חוזרת ונשנית לשונותו והזרתו בצמתים קריטיים בחייו, הכוללת גזענות ואפליה, הופכת את יצירתו של עצמי בטוח ולא מאוים למשימה קשה עד בלתי אפשרית. צליחתה יכולה לעבור דרך הכרה בשחורות ולקיחת בעלות (ריקליימינג) על השונות באמצעות גיבוש תודעה פוליטית. התודעה הפוליטית כוללת עיסוק בשאלת השחורות, שהמענה עליה לוקח אותנו למחוזות גלובליים וחיצוניים. אף שההקשר המקומי ייחודי ומאתגר את הגלובלי, לא מן הנמנע שלקונספטואליזציה פוליטית, גם אם היא נשענת על התיאוריה ההתפתחותית שמציע פרנץ פנון או על טקסטים פוליטיים ממאבקו של סטיב ביקו בדרום אפריקה, יש ערך ממשי ופסיכולוגי רב לחייו של השחור האתיופי־ישראלי המקומי.
את מי אתה אוהב יותר
Authors: רוטשילד אליאסי גיל
Published: December 2024

המסה של גיל רוטשילד אליאסי עוסקת במערכת היחסים שבין לובן וישראליות, ובפרט באופנים שבהם מרחבים חברתיים, ממסדיים ובין-אישיים נעשים לבנים או מתפקדים ככאלו. אבל מהו המרחב הלבן? וכיצד לובן מעניק נקודת מוצא למזרחיות ולאשכנזיות בישראל? דרך הגוף המסרב להתמיין והמתעקש לדעת את מה שהמרחב והתודעה עושים יד אחד כדי להשכיח, רוטשילד אליאסי כותב את ההצלחה והכישלון של הלבנת המקום דרך הניסיון המתמשך להפקיעו, לטהרו ולמפותו מחדש מתוך אוריינטציה הזקוקה ל״מזרח״ כדי לתפוס כיוון. ובתוך כל זאת, הגוף והמקום מזכירים שהמרחב הלבן למעשה מעולם לא היה לבן. אבל כיצד אנחנו והגוף זוכרים דברים שונים? ואם אנחנו ״כאן״, היכן הגוף הזוכר?
"את, הצבע מסגיר אותך!": התמודדות יוצאי אתיופיה עם אפליה בישראל, גרסת המאה העשרים ואחת
Authors: אינגדאו ונדה שלי
Published: December 2024

המאמר עוסק בהתמודדותם של יוצאי אתיופיה עם אפליה וגזענות כפי שעולה מחוויות היומיום שלהם בישראל. המאמר מסתמך על גישות של חוסן ותיאוריות על התמודדות עם סטיגמה, ומבוסס על מחקר איכותני בקרב בגירים יוצאי אתיופיה בישראל. הממצאים מעידים על ארבעה סוגי התמודדות: עימות אקטיבי, עמידה רטרואקטיבית, התמקמות רפלקסיבית, והעצמת הפרט דרך פעולה קולקטיבית. השיח המתרחב הנוגע לגזענות על בסיס צבע עור משקף שינוי תודעתי ותפיסתי בקרב הקהילה לאורך זמן, והוא מושפע בין היתר ממאבקים בגזענות אנטי־שחורה במקומות אחרים. חשיבות הממצאים טמונה במיפויים של מגוון טיפוסי התמודדות עם גזענות שמגלים יצירתיות ואקטיביות. ניכרת בנייה מתמדת של חוסן אישי וקהילתי המתבססים זה על זה ומחזקים זה את זה ומתאפיינים בגמישות ובסתגלנות לרחשי הסביבה, והשיח המקומי, כך עולה, מזהה חיבורים בין הגזענות בישראל לתופעות גזענות גלובליות. עם זאת, השיח הליברלי האוניברסלי אינו מאומץ לגמרי מחוץ, אלא מסתמן כאפשרות רטורית אחת לצד רבות אחרות. מן המאמר עולה כי מתפתחת גרסה אתיופית ישראלית של התנגדות לגזענות במאה העשרים ואחת – התנגדות שעושה שימוש פונקציונלי בעולם הערכים האוניברסליים העומד לרשותה, אך נטועה עמוק במקורותיה האתיופיים, היהודיים והישראליים ובונה חוסן ייחודי לה מול המציאות הקשה בביתה.
Age Falsification and Work Productivity in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nigeria
Authors: OBILOR Ngozi Mary , Maduagwuna Raymond Emeka
Published: December 2024

Age falsification is the misrepresentation of one’s true. It is as a result of the fear to retire; prompted by the lack of preparation for retirement and the problem of non-payment and late payment of pension and gratuities which has constituted an old labour force. In view of this, this study investigated the impact of age falsification on work productivity in Nnamdi Azikiwe University. The study anchored on the rational choice theory because, it effectively explains the decision to falsify age by government workers. A descriptive research design was adopted for this study. Using a cluster sampling technique, the study organization was divided into Nnewi cluster and Awka cluster. The faculty of Social Sciences was selected to represent the entire Awka cluster while the faculty of Basic Sciences was selected to represent the Nnewi cluster using a balloting sampling technique. The balloting technique was also used in selecting three department; nursing science, physiology and medical laboratory science from the faculty of Basic sciences and three departments; mass communication, psychology and sociology & anthropology from the faculty of social sciences. Respondents were selected using a snowball sampling technique. Data was derived using questionnaire and secondary sources of data collection technique after which data was presented in table and analysed using simple percentages. The study revealed that, age falsification affects work productivity adversely as workers tend to be intellectually and physically incapable of executing organizational tasks thereby, placing a string on the organization’s goal. It was therefore recommended that, the government pays workers their gratuities when and as when due and also, organize behaviour modification programmes like seminars that will modify the behaviour of government workers and discourage them from unethical practices like, age falsification.
