EL NUEVO DESORDEN INFORMATIVO: RETOS Y PROPUESTAS DE REGULACIÓN
Authors: Sánchez Martínez María
Published: June 2024

La libertad de expresión es un derecho que caracteriza a las sociedades plurales y democráticas. Su promoción favorece que todos los ciudadanos tengan la posibilidad tanto de estar bien informados como de expresar sus opiniones libremente, de forma oral y escrita. También que puedan participar en importantes esferas de la sociedad en igualdad de condiciones. Sin embargo, a partir de la pandemia del 2019 el mundo en el que vivíamos ha experimentado una notable mutación, y muchas cosas han cambiado negativamente. Las libertades de expresión y prensa han sido objeto de importantes presiones para satisfacer los intereses tanto de los grupos económicos y políticos más poderosos como de las grandes plataformas digitales. La censura, la promoción de la desinformación, el discurso del odio y la violencia digital se han convertido en problemas de una especial gravedad. La información al público cada vez se está dosificando más, según los deseos de quienes ocupan los espacios privilegiados del poder, presentándose como fragmentos de la realidad. Sobre estas importantes cuestiones trata la presente monografía. Concebida desde la multidisciplinariedad de enfoques que requiere el abordar la enorme diversidad de aspectos desde los que la libertad de expresión puede ser analizada, la obra pretende alentar la reflexión crítica y el debate académico sobre un derecho que resulta fundamental para intentar mantener la confianza de la ciudadanía en los sistemas, procesos e instituciones actuales.

Authors: Ribeiro do Espirito Santo Layanne , Pimentel Magno Maiza , Luz Priscyla Cristinny Santiago da
Published: June 2024

Este artigo buscou apresentar se professores de diferentes áreas de conhecimento, que atuam no ensino fundamental maior, contextualizam em suas aulas os impactos ambientais ocorridos na região de Barcarena/PA, bem como, discutir concepções, práticas e as principais dificuldades que são enfrentadas pelos docentes para trabalhar tais questões no espaço escolar. Este estudo qualitativo caracterizou-se por uma pesquisa exploratória e utilizou como instrumento de coleta de dados um questionário, que foi aplicado a quinze professores de duas escolas do município de Barcarena/PA. O método utilizado para analisar os dados foi a Análise de Conteúdo. Como resultado evidenciou-se que, 53% dos docentes afirmam realizar a contextualização sobre os impactos ambientais, no entanto, essa prática ainda é rudimentar, necessitando ser mais bem estruturada. Apesar de quase a metade dos professores afirmarem não contextualizar esse assunto, mais de 90% têm conhecimento sobre os impactos que ocorrem na região. A maioria dos professores concorda sobre a importância de contextualizar os impactos ambientais ocorridos na cidade para prover a aprendizagem efetiva dos assuntos explanados. Conclui-se neste estudo que, a efetiva contextualização sobre os impactos ambientais não acontece nas aulas e que os professores carecem de formação e planejamento para que essa abordagem seja aplicada de forma efetiva e contribua para a educação significativa na região.
Initiation of a professional development program for science instructional leaders within the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) framework
Authors: Sapad Roni , Caballes Dennis
Published: June 2024

Knowledge related to the effective use of educational technologies has become widely recognized as an important aspect of an educator’s knowledge-based for the 21st century. The study sought to assess and measure the perception of elementary teachers handling science in Pasay City on their understanding of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework and its related constructs. It also aimed to find out how science teachers used technology in general. Surveys, focus group discussions, and strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis methods were used to gather data. Thematic analysis was also used to interpret the responses qualitatively. For triangulation purposes, master teachers and science coordinators were also involved in the data gathering. Among the subscales of TPACK, science teachers’ pedagogical knowledge (PK) garnered the highest mean (3.48), while technological knowledge (TK) obtained the lowest mean (3.17). Technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK) had a very strong positive relationship (r = 0.854), while TK was strongly correlated (r = 0.631) to overall TPACK. The overall TPACK and other TPACK subscales are found to have a significant relationship. As revealed in the FGD, science teachers frequently used ICT tools to explore, elaborate or demonstrate a concept to pupils to further their understanding. However, some of the teachers claimed that their level of confidence in using ICT tools did not meet the required skills. This resulted in a proposed professional development program focusing on the three features of the TPACK framework: pedagogy, technology, and content.

Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study is to develop an educational program to teach RFN contextually and explicitly in order to improve the chemistry teachers' awareness and the educational application of RFN, and to examine the educational effects of chemistry teachers by checking chemistry teachers’ perceptions and changes on perceptions of educational applications of RFN the of chemistry teachers for through the program. The educational program was developed based on contextual scientific history reading materials and experimental materials that explicitly reflected RFN were developed so that the educational application of RFN could be actually applied, using Shapin & Schaffer(1985)'s “Leviathan and the Air-Pump”.
The developed educational program selected three in-service chemistry teachers and two pre-service chemistry teachers who are enrolled in the master's course of the College of Education in Chung-buk as research subjects, and were put into the 15-week course program. Through a preliminary questionnaire on the educational application of RFN, the research subjects' prior awareness of the RFN educational application was confirmed, and the developed reading materials and experimental materials were provided for discussion. After developing educational materials reflecting RFN, the post-recognition of RFN educational application was confirmed and compared with the pre-study and the perception in the developed teaching materials.
As a result of the study, the research subjects improved their awareness about the financial system and professional activities in the 'socio-institutional aspect' category, scientific knowledge by discipline in the 'scientific knowledge' category, and the diversity of the inquiry process in the 'scientific method' category.

Published: June 2024

This study developed a convergence education program to develop global citizenship capabilities and applied it to 29 sixth-grade students at H Elementary School in Gyeonggi-do to confirm its effectiveness. The researcher viewed global citizenship capabilities as including problem-solving ability as a global citizen, intercultural sensitivity, and practical ability as a global citizen, and derived research results over a total of three implementations.
The convergence education program implemented in this study was designed to understand interdependent relationships through global exchange under the theme of 'connected world' in the first implementation, and to understand global problems under the theme of 'an unstable world' in the second implementation. The third implementation was developed with the goal of establishing action plans for a sustainable future based on a sense of belonging and solidarity as global citizens under the theme of 'Our World'. A convergence education program was implemented through 15 classes, and the learning topics and activities needed for learners were designed through quantitative analysis of pre- and post-test questionnaires with the same questions. As a result of qualitative analysis based on participant observation and activity impressions, it was deemed necessary to change the individual investigation activities conducted in the first implementation to group investigation activities in the second implementation. In the third implementation, after identifying the need for activities for organic connection of learning, it was considered that activities related to the topic investigated in the second implementation should be included.
After applying this program, it was confirmed that there was an improvement point in 5 out of 9 questions on the pre- and post-test questionnaire through SPSS matched sample t-test. As a result of qualitative analysis based on participant observation and activity reports, it was confirmed that it had a positive impact on improving learners' problem-solving skills, intercultural sensitivity, and practical skills as global citizens.

Gitar dapat memegang pimpinan utama dalam ibadah. Perannya dapat merubah suasana yang tidak kalah dari alat musik lainnya. Ibadah apapun pasti mempunyai cara yang dapat membuat suasana menajdi lebih meriah sesuai dengan kondisi, sehingga dihubungkan dengan musik instrumen gitar dapat merubah suasana hati setiap orang yang hadir dalam ibadah. Sehubungan dengan suasana ibadah, maka alunan gitar dapat menciptakan atau membawa suasana hati orang untuk memahami dan merasakan kehadiran Allah. Nyanyian umat kepada Tuhan dapat mengungkapkan berbagai tujuan, perasaan serta iman seseorang atau seluruh jemaat. Melalui pujian juga umat dapat berkomunikasi secara dialogis kepada Allah sebagai Raja. Sekaligus sebagai sahabat tempat mencurahkan isi hatinya dengan bebas. Memuji Tuhan dalam keseharian berarti merasakan kehadiran Tuhan ketika bekerja dan melakukan aktivitas sehari-hari. Dengan selalu merasakan bahwa Tuhan hadir bersama dengan kita, maka kita akan mendapatkan kekuatan ketika kita letih lesu menjalani hidup yang serba tidak pasti, mendapatkan semangat ketika sudah hampir menyerah menghadapi tantangan hidup, mendapatkan sukacita ketika merasakan kesedihan dan kekecewaan, bimbingan ketika tidak tahu untuk mengambil keputusan, damai sejahtera ketika kita kehilangan rasa damai.

Hasil identifikasi masalah dan analisa situasi di Desa Oebelo, Kabupaten Kupang, NTT ditemukan bahwa ancaman bencana alam seperti banjir, dan angin puting beliung cukup serius terutama bagi para siswa SD Kristen Rehobot. Berdasarkan hasil assessment, SD Kristen Rehobot Kupang Tengah selalu dilanda bencana angin puting beliung setiap tahun. Kejadiannya terjadi pada siang hari pada jam-jam sekolah. Berdasarkan analisis situasi ditemukan belum pernah dilakukan upaya apapun untuk mengurangi risiko bencana baik banjir maupun angin puting beliung. Bahkan para guru juga mengaku, tidak memiliki kapasitas bagaimana melakukan tindakan penyelamatan diri dan juga ke anak-anak bila terjadi bencana. Sementara itu, anak-anak di sekolah belum pernah diajarkan tentang bagaimana melakukan upaya penyelamatan diri bila dalam kondisi bencana baik melalui materi di dalam kelas maupun luar kelas. Dengan demikian, permasalahan mitra terbagi atas dua bidang masalah yakni masalah keterbatasan literasi informasi (komunikasi) kebencanaan dan masalah ketiadaan Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran (RPP) yang mengintegrasikan isu/topik pengurangan risiko bencana. Berdasarkan persoalan tersebut, maka dilakukan program PKM. Bentuk-bentuk kegiatan yang telah dilakukan antara lain (1) kampanye informasi penyadaran kepada para guru tentang pentingnya pengarus-utamaan literasi informasi kebencanaan dalam pembelajaran di sekolah baik di dalam kelas maupun di luar kelas melalui kegiatan ektrakurikuler atau ekskul. (2) penguatan kapasitas para guru SD melalui pelatihan tentang komunikasi kebencanaan. Hasil nyata dari kampanye informasi dan pelatihan ini, para guru mengalami peningkatan pemahaman mengenai upaya Pengurangan Risiko Bencana berbasis sekolah.

Emotional Vocalizations Alter Behaviors and Neurochemical Release into the Amygdala
Authors: Ghasemahmad Zahra , Mrvelj Aaron , Panditi Rishitha , Sharma Bhavya , Perumal Karthic Drishna , Wenstrup Jeffrey J.
Published: June 2024

The basolateral amygdala (BLA), a brain center of emotional expression, contributes to acoustic communication by first interpreting the meaning of social sounds in the context of the listener’s internal state, then organizing the appropriate behavioral responses. We propose that modulatory neurochemicals such as acetylcholine (ACh) and dopamine (DA) provide internal-state signals to the BLA while an animal listens to social vocalizations. We tested this in a vocal playback experiment utilizing highly affective vocal sequences associated with either mating or restraint, then sampled and analyzed fluids within the BLA for a broad range of neurochemicals and observed behavioral responses of adult male and female mice. In male mice, playback of restraint vocalizations increased ACh release and usually decreased DA release, while playback of mating sequences evoked the opposite neurochemical release patterns. In non-estrus female mice, patterns of ACh and DA release with mating playback were similar to males. Estrus females, however, showed increased ACh, associated with vigilance, as well as increased DA, associated with reward-seeking. Experimental groups that showed increased ACh release also showed the largest increases in an aversive behavior. These neurochemical release patterns and several behavioral responses depended on a single prior experience with the mating and restraint behaviors. Our results support a model in which ACh and DA provide contextual information to sound analyzing BLA neurons that modulate their output to downstream brain regions controlling behavioral responses to social vocalizations.
Clustered synapses develop in distinct dendritic domains in visual cortex before eye opening
Authors: Leighton Alexandra H. , Cheyne Juliette E. , Lohmann Christian
Published: June 2024

Synaptic inputs to cortical neurons are highly structured in adult sensory systems, such that neighboring synapses along dendrites are activated by similar stimuli. This organization of synaptic inputs, called synaptic clustering, is required for high-fidelity signal processing, and clustered synapses can already be observed before eye opening. However, how clustered inputs emerge during development is unknown. Here, we employed concurrent
in vivo
whole-cell patch clamp and dendritic calcium imaging to map spontaneous synaptic inputs to dendrites of layer 2/3 neurons in the mouse primary visual cortex during the second postnatal week until eye opening. We find that the number of functional synapses and the frequency of transmission events increase several fold during this developmental period. At the beginning of the second postnatal week, synapses assemble specifically in confined dendritic segments, whereas other segments are devoid of synapses. By the end of the second postnatal week, just before eye-opening, dendrites are almost entirely covered by domains of co-active synapses. Finally, co-activity with their neighbor synapses correlates with synaptic stabilization and potentiation. Thus, clustered synapses form in distinct functional domains presumably to equip dendrites with computational modules for high-capacity sensory processing when the eyes open.
Development of a Marmoset Apparatus for Automated Pulling (MarmoAAP) to Study Cooperative Behaviors
Authors: Meisner Olivia C. , Fagan Nicholas A. , Greenwood Joel , Shi Weikang , Jadi Monika P. , Nandy Anirvan S. , Chang Steve W. C.
Published: June 2024

In recent years, the field of neuroscience has increasingly recognized the importance of studying animal behaviors in naturalistic environments to gain deeper insights into ethologically relevant behavioral processes and neural mechanisms. The common marmoset (
Callithrix jacchus
), due to its small size, prosocial nature, and genetic proximity to humans, has emerged as a pivotal model toward this effort. However, traditional research methodologies often fail to fully capture the nuances of marmoset social interactions and cooperative behaviors. To address this critical gap, we developed the Marmoset Apparatus for Automated Pulling (MarmoAAP), a novel behavioral apparatus designed for studying cooperative behaviors in common marmosets. MarmoAAP addresses the limitations of traditional behavioral research methods by enabling high-throughput, detailed behavior outputs that can be integrated with video and audio recordings, allowing for more nuanced and comprehensive analyses even in a naturalistic setting. We also highlight the flexibility of MarmoAAP in task parameter manipulation which accommodates a wide range of behaviors and individual animal capabilities. Furthermore, MarmoAAP provides a platform to perform investigations of neural activity underlying naturalistic social behaviors. MarmoAAP is a versatile and robust tool for advancing our understanding of primate behavior and related cognitive processes. This new apparatus bridges the gap between ethologically relevant animal behavior studies and neural investigations, paving the way for future research in cognitive and social neuroscience using marmosets as a model organism.
An image-computable model of speeded decision-making
Authors: Jaffe Paul I. , Santiago-Reyes Gustavo X. , Schafer Robert J. , Bissett Patrick G. , Poldrack Russell A.
Published: June 2024

Evidence accumulation models (EAMs) are the dominant framework for modeling response time (RT) data from speeded decision-making tasks. While providing a good quantitative description of RT data in terms of abstract perceptual representations, EAMs do not explain how the visual system extracts these representations in the first place. To address this limitation, we introduce the visual accumulator model (VAM), in which convolutional neural network models of visual processing and traditional EAMs are jointly fitted to trial-level RTs and raw (pixel-space) visual stimuli from individual subjects. Models fitted to largescale cognitive training data from a stylized flanker task captured individual differences in congruency effects, RTs, and accuracy. We find evidence that the selection of task-relevant information occurs through the orthogonalization of relevant and irrelevant representations, demonstrating how our framework can be used to relate visual representations to behavioral outputs. Together, our work provides a probabilistic framework for both constraining neural network models of vision with behavioral data and studying how the visual system extracts representations that guide decisions.

It has been well documented that cold is an enhancer of lipid metabolism in peripheral tissues, yet its effect on central nervous system lipid dynamics is underexplored. It is well recognized that cold acclimations enhance adipocyte functions, including white adipose tissue lipid lipolysis and beiging, and brown adipose tissue thermogenesis in mammals. However, it remains unclear whether and how lipid metabolism in the brain is also under the control of ambient temperature. Here, we show that cold exposure predominantly increases the expressions of the lipid lipolysis genes and proteins within the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) in male mice. Mechanistically, by using innovatively combined brain-region selective pharmacology and in vivo time-lapse photometry monitoring of lipid metabolism, we find that cold activates cells within the PVH and pharmacological inactivation of cells blunts cold-induced effects on lipid peroxidation, accumulation of lipid droplets, and lipid lipolysis in the PVH. Together, these findings suggest that PVH lipid metabolism is cold sensitive and integral to cold-induced broader regulatory responses.

Acute retinal ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion injury are primary causes of retinal neural cell death and vision loss in retinal artery occlusion (RAO). The absence of an accurate mouse model simulating the retinal ischemic process has hampered progress in developing neuroprotective agents for RAO. A unilateral pterygopalatine ophthalmic artery occlusion (UPOAO) mouse model was developed by employing silicone wire embolization combined with carotid artery ligation. The survival of retinal ganglion cells and visual function were evaluated to determine ischemia duration. Immunofluorescence staining, optical coherence tomography, and hematoxylin and eosin staining were utilized to assess changes in major classes of neural cells and retinal structure degeneration at two reperfusion durations. Transcriptomics was employed to investigate alterations in the pathological process of UPOAO following ischemia and reperfusion, highlighting transcriptomic differences between UPOAO and other retinal ischemia-reperfusion models. The UPOAO model successfully replicated the acute interruption of retinal blood supply seen in RAO. 60-minute ischemia was confirmed to lead the major retinal neural cells loss and visual function impairment. Notable thinning of the inner layer of the retina, especially the ganglion cell layer, was evident post-UPOAO. Temporal transcriptome analysis revealed various pathophysiological processes related to immune cell migration, oxidative stress, and immune inflammation during non-reperfusion and reperfusion periods. The resident microglia within the retina and peripheral leukocytes which access to the retina were pronounced increased on reperfusion periods. Comparison of differentially expressed genes between the UPOAO and high intraocular pressure models identified specific enrichments in lipid and steroid metabolism-related genes in the UPOAO model. The UPOAO model emerges as a novel tool for the screening of pathogenic genes, promoting further therapeutic research in RAO.

The tea sector faces daunting economic challenges stemming from reduced yields due to climate impacts, increased pest and pesticide use, inferior quality and low tea prices, rising production costs and shifts in worker availability. Adoption of sustainable cultivation practices addressing the principles of regenerative farming can build resilience in tea production and also lessen the negative impact on the environment. A sustainable initiative was taken by Goodricke Group Limited in collaboration with Inhana Organic Research Foundation (IORF) towards restoration of soil quality, crop sustainability and reduction of pesticide usage. To meet the set targets Inhana Rational Farming (IRF) was the adopted as the crop technology, which focused on soil and plant health management. The study encompassed two time periods, i.e., the pre-COVID era (2013–2019) and post-COVID era (2020–2022), during which crop performance, pesticide usage and soil quality development were documented. The findings clearly showed the impact of sustainable initiative in terms of better crop performance, lowering of pesticide use and improvement of soil health (where ever soil management was continued). This study clearly indicated that an investment in the sustainability account not only ensures crop sustenance and improvement in the long run and enable a reduction in the requirement for agrochemicals, of higher importance is the regeneration of soil health and improvement of resilience towards climate impact, which is critical for both present and future sustenance of the plantation as well as better economic security.

Background: Medical waste, also referred to as healthcare waste, has been defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as “all the waste generated within healthcare facilities, research centers, and laboratories related to medical procedures; including the same types of waste generated from other scattered sources and homes”.
Objectives: The main aim of this project was to assess waste disposal practices in Primary health facility in Esan Central Local Goverrnment Area in Edo State.
Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study carried out among 65 staff members among primary health care facilities in Esan Central Local Government in Irrua, Edo state. The study involved using a simple random sampling technique. Data was analyzed using IBM SPSS version 21.0 software for descriptive statistics. The Chi square test was used to test for association and the level of significance was set as p < 0.05.
Results: The study showed that majority of the participants (87%) had a good knowledge on health care waste management. Incineration (70.5%) is identified as the main method of disposal of waste along with sanitary landfill. As regards knowledge of the risk of poor disposal method, it was seen that the majority of the participants had good knowledge (85%) on the risk and negative impact this will have on people and the community at large.
Conclusion: In this study, there was good knowledge on waste management and the participants understood the risk involved when there is poor management of waste.
