Shaping Narrative Writing Skills Through Creating Picture Books
Authors: Pérez Francisco Antonio , Vargas-Daza Carolina
Published: December 2019

This research sets out to assist in the enrichment of narrative writing processes in EFL 5th graders through the implementation of picture books as a means to surmount the lexical density that the written expression entails and to shape the natural ability of telling an event or a sequence of events systematically. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to understand writing as a formal description of structured data which is outlined in the mind that has different cognitive stages and works with pre-established categories, as proposed by Flower & Hayes (2008); evenly, the learning was contemplated from a genre-based approach where recognizing the needs and proficiencies of the students was the major concern, which was supported in familiar routines and cyclical activities in social contexts. As a result, the creation of a narrative story in the form and following the principles of picture books became the ultimate achievement of the present study, which ponders on the bases of action research with a qualitative approach. In this way, the possible implication of conducting a study based on the use of picture books was related to the affinity of students to the world of words.
Authentic Assessment in the Listening Comprehension Classroom: Benefits and Implications
Authors: Sevilla Morales Henry , Chaves-Fernandez Lindsay
Published: December 2019

This research paper discusses the benefits and implications of bringing authentic assessment into listening comprehension classes. The study was run in 2016 based on a QUAL-Quan model to research and included 38 college students enrolled in a listening comprehension class at an English Teaching Major (ETM) from the University of Costa Rica (UCR). Data collection instruments included plans of improvement, portfolios, self-assessment forms, teacher-student conferences, verbal calls, and impromptu reflections. Data were validated through several procedures and analyzed in the form of emerging themes from the information collected. Findings are that authentic assessment can and should be used more in listening comprehension classes to bring assessment and instruction together, as well as to provide opportunities for skills integration. The study yields implications for theory and practice, and it constitutes a proposal to move from traditional to process evaluation, and from norm-referenced testing towards more criterion-referenced assessment. Nonetheless, the aim should not necessarily be a radical ‘no’ to paper-and-pencil tests, but a more balanced use in combination with other strategies so that assessment becomes more reliable, valid, fair, and authentic for all EFL actors involved. Keywords: authentic assessment, testing, listening comprehension, portfolio, weekly plans

Published: December 2019

One indication of the development of a tertiary institution can be seen from the number of students applying from year to year. The increasing number of students is an identification that the tertiary institution is in high demand by the community. University student data is stored in a university database or often called PDPT. PDPT data is used for various things, such as calculating the ratio of lecturers and students, calculating the number of graduations, calculating class ratios to university income. Because of the importance of the PDPT data, the validity of the PDPT data must be maintained. The problem that arises at the University of Semarang is that the data is only contained in the central server and is not distributed well globally or in detail up to the Study Program and the Quality Assurance Agency. This requires an alternative way to validate student data so that student data can be monitored continuously. The method can be done by using software development methods using a framework. Data obtained through the computer center by utilizing a web service so that data can be retrieved directly.
Tracing the metabolic riftin Colombia's greengrocer: an environmental historyof the Anaime Valley
Authors: Doughman Richard
Published: December 2019

This paper stems from research to reconstruct an environmental history of agriculture in the Anaime Canyon Valley and better understand the environmental consequences of having transformed the area into “Colombia's g reeng rocer”. We trace the origins and development of agro-food production and explore how commercial agriculture and dairy operations have transformed the landscape and local ecosystems in the Anaime valley, in light of Marx's concept of metabolic rift. Research is based on archival sources and a par ticipator y reconstr uction of the Anaime landscape from the historical memory of the campesinos, or rural inhabitants. The data shows how inter nal mig ration, rapid urban growth and improved transportation infrastructure in the valley dur ing the mid-twentieth century hastened the turn toward intensive commercial agriculture . Increasing links to Colombia's urban markets have led to agricultural intensification and specialization in arracacha (Arracacia xanthorrhiza) production in the Anaime Canyon. As a result, soils and ecosystems have been depleted and agr iculture depends increasingly on chemical inputs including fertilizers, indicating a growing metabolic rift.
Mast Cells in Allergy: The Potential Molecular Targets in the Upstream Signalling Pathways
Authors: Tham Chau Ling , Tan Ji Wei
Published: December 2019

Mast cells (MCs) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases, attributable to their hypersensitive reaction to non-harmful substances that elicit an allergic response. As such, by interrupting certain signalling proteins within the signalling pathway of a mast cell, an allergic response may be avoided or inhibited. Compounds that attenuate the release of mediators from mast cells are known as mast cell stabilizers. These drugs are clinically applied to prevent mast cell effector responses towards common allergens. Although commonly prescribed clinical mast cell stabilizers such as disodium cromoglycate and ketotifen fumarate were applied in the preventative treatment of various allergic diseases, there remains a need of advancement of novel mast cell stabilizing drugs that can effectively target specific signalling molecules to provide better treatment option against these diseases. Among these newly discovered potential mast cell stabilizers, much effort has been given to the inhibition of vital upstream signalling molecules such as spleen tyrosine kinase, as well as surface receptors such as the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) and stem cell factor receptor (KIT). A recent study also reported that linker for activation of T cells (LAT) may also be an excellent molecular target for inhibiting mast cell degranulation. Although in most cases the exact mode of action of these molecules is yet to be elucidated, all these compounds have shown mast cell inhibition. Therefore, they might have potential therapeutic use in the treatment of allergies and allergy related diseases where mast cells are majorly involved. Thus, this mini review will focus on summarising the potential signalling molecules or receptors that have been targeted to inhibit mast cell degranulation, particularly those located in the upstream signalling pathway.

Boesenbergia rotunda, traditionally used to relieve stomach, abdomen, joint, muscle, and rheumatic pain was also reported for its antinociceptive effect on a mouse model. However, the possible pain relief effect of Boesenbergia rotunda ethanolic extract (BREE) via the inhibition to the neural pain pathway remains to be elucidated. This study investigated the inhibitory effect of BREE on compound action potentials (CAPs) and the possible involvement of the opioid receptors. The changes in the CAPs amplitudes of the frog’s sciatic nerves were evaluated following the exposure to three different dosages of BREE (1, 3 and 10 mg/ml and morphine (3 mg/ml). In another set of experiment, the nerves were pretreated with a non-selective opioid receptor antagonist, naloxone (0.1 mg/ml), before exposing the nerve to BREE (1 mg/ml) to investigate the involvement of opioid receptors in the CAPs inhibitory mechanism. The outcome showed a reduction in the CAPs amplitudes when treated with BREE (1, 3 and 10 mg/ml) whereby the effect was reversible. The CAPs inhibition by BREE was absent when the opioid receptors were blocked. Taken together, these findings suggest that BREE-induced CAPs amplitude reduction involves the activation of opioid receptors.

Published: December 2019

Global warming is the main concern in today’s century as it comes with numerous side effects on the natural environment. Open Top Chambers (OTC) consist of metal constructions with transparent vertical side-walls and a frustum on top. An opening in the middle of the frustum allows an air exchange to reduce temperature and humidity effects in the chamber. The size of the open top chamber which is located in Universiti Putra Malaysia is slanted 60o, 50cm tall, 2.08m basal diameter hexagon chamber. The Open Top chamber experiments were carried out to determine how much global warming has affected and is still affecting the temperature, pH, the moisture and the growth of the microbes in the tropical soil. The aim of this study is to elucidate the effects of temperature increase on the soil microbes’ population and on the pH of the soil. The study was conducted to observe the effect of heat on soil microbes, and the pH of the soil which was collected on the same day for 6 consecutive months. The microbes values were then used for Colony Forming Unit (CFU) value calculations. The effects of OTCs on mean temperature showed a large range of CFU values throughout the 6 months but did not differ significantly between studies. Increases in mean monthly and diurnal temperature were strongly related, indicating that the presence of warming effect by the OTCs. Such predictive power allows a better mechanistic understanding of observed biotic response to experimental warming. This study will be useful for the understanding of the global warming effect on microbes. The open top chamber has proven to be one of the effective model for global warming research and data collected especially on the growth of soil microbial obtained would be off great use for further experiments.

Published: December 2019

The human neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y cells, is commonly used as an in vitro model for neuroscience and neurobiology research. SH-SY5Y cells were established during the 1970’s from the parental metastatic bone tumor, SK-N-SH cell line. The utilization of SH-SY5Y cells in neurobiology research is due to their resemblance to the human primary neuronal cells with several limitations, considering the cells are derived from malignant tumor cells. Since SH-SY5Y cells are widely cultured for research, several different culture media have been used to optimize the growth of the cells, including Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM), Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) and other recently developed culture media. The ability of SH-SY5Y cells to reach confluency in culture flasks ranges from 5 days to 15 days, depending on the culture media. Hence, the optimization of the culture media is crucial to achieve the fastest growth rate for the cells. The objective of the study is to evaluate the culture media for the proliferation of SH-SY5Y cells. We compared the growth rate of SH-SY5Y cells cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) supplemented with 15% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (hiFBS), Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium: Nutrientmixture F-12 (DMEM:F12) + supplemented with 15% hiFBS and DMEM:F12 supplemented with 10% hiFBS. In DMEM:F12 supplemented with 15% hiFBS, cells grew up to 6.67E+05 cells. In DMEM:F12 supplemented with 10%hiFBS, cells grew up to 5.28E+05 cells. In DMEM supplemented with 15% hiFBS, the cells grew up to 4.76E+05 cells. There was a significant difference between culture media DMEM:F12 supplemented with 15% hiFBS as compared to DMEM:F12 supplemented with 10%hiFBS and DMEM supplemented with 15% hiFBS (p<0.05) following 24h incubation. However, there is no significant difference between DMEM:F12 supplemented with 10%hiFBS as compared to DMEM supplemented with 15% hiFBS (p>0.05).

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACTNatural disasters that occur in Indonesia are disasters caused by climate change, such as landslides, floods, flash floods, droughts, forest and land fires, crop failures and other natural disaster. Climate change such as rainfall trends, temperature trends, normal changes in rainfall, extreme climate changes greatly affect the balance of the environmental ecosystem which then becomes one of the triggers of natural disasters that occur. For example changes in high rainfall will affect the physical, biological and chemical nature of the soil which makes soil prone to soil erosion and even landslides can occur. Extreme changes in air temperature also affect soil degradation resulting in soil compaction, fractures, acidification and reduced soil organic matter and biodiversity of soil biota, so that plants lack nutrients and eventually crop failure occurs.Because of that basis, the study of the impacts of climate change on soil properties needs to be done in the hope that they can take the right steps in dealing with climate change, so that the environment has resilience in dealing with climate change Keywords: climate change, soil degradation, environmental resilience ABSTRAKBencana alam yang terjadi di Indonesia merupakan bencana yang banyak disebabkan oleh adanya perubahan iklim, seperti tanah longsor, banjir, banjir bandang, kekeringan, kebakaran hutan dan lahan, gagal panen serta bencana alam lain sebagainya. Perubahan iklim seperti tren curah hujan, tren suhu, perubahan normal curah hujan, ekstrem perubahan iklim sangat mempengaruhi keseimbangan ekosistem lingkungan yang kemudian menjadi salah satu trigger bencana alam itu terjadi. Sebagai contoh perubahan curah hujan yang tinggi akan mempergaruhi sifat tanah secara fisik, biologi dan kimiawi yang menjadikan tanah rawan terkena erosi tanah bahkan dapat terjadi tanah longsor. Perubahan suhu udara yang ekstrim juga berpengaruh terhadap degradasi tanah sehingga terjadi pemadatan tanah, rekahan, pengasaman serta berkurangnya bahan organik tanah serta biodiversitas biota tanah, sehingga tanaman kekurangan unsur hara dan akhirnya terjadi gagal panen. Karena dasar itulah kajian dampak perubahan iklim terhadap sifat-sifat tanah perlu dilakukan dengan harapan dapat mengambil langkah yang tepat dalam menghadapi perubahan iklim, sehingga lingkungan mempunyai ketangguhan (resilience) dalam menghadapi perubahan iklim. Kata kunci: perubahan iklim, degradasi tanah, ketangguhan lingkungan.

Sin embargo, existen teorías alternas que identifican que dicho desarrollo no puede darse sin tener en cuenta el componente humano, mostrando cómo, a través de la identificación de las necesidades del entorno y la adopción de prácticas empresariales más profundas, se puede generar un desarrollo sostenible. Este artículo muestra el resultado de la aplicación de las metodologías de desarrollo a escala humana y economía del bien común dentro de la Cooperativa de Ahorro y Crédito (Fincomercio), donde se identifican las necesidades y los satisfactores de sus colaboradores como agentes creadores de valor dentro de la organización, y se evalúan sus contribuciones al bien común, mostrando algunas estrategias que favorecen el desarrollo, más allá de indicadores tradicionales.
Affective Effect: Issue Engagement on a Youth E-Participation Platform
Authors: Lampoltshammer Thomas J. , Zhu Qinfeng , Parycek Peter
Published: December 2019

While E-participation promotes citizen participation in democratic decision-making processes, and often takes place through deliberation, citizens are expected to be cool-headed individuals equipped with reason and logic, insulating their actions from the impulse of emotion. However, research in neuroscience and cognitive science has found that emotion plays a vital part in cognitive processing and is instrumental in decision-making. This study thus fills this research gap by examining the effect of emotions in eliciting participation on a youth E-participation platform. Following affective intelligence theory and appraisal theory, the authors specifically examined three types of emotions; namely, anger, anxiety, and sadness. By applying methods in the field of text and statistical analysis, the authors found that anxiety, although the least common type of emotion expressed on the E-participation platform, was associated with an increased level of engagement. On the contrary, anger dominated issue discussion across topics, and sadness prevailed in the discourse on system-level economic issues.

En el proyecto 2 (n= 20) solo el Grupo Experimental asistió a las 10 semanas de actividad extraescolar C-HIIT (2 sesiones/semana, 30 minutos/sesión). Las herramientas empleadas fueron test d2 (concentración), test Pittsburg y pulseras Fitbit HR (calidad de sueño) y sistema Seego ® (intensidad de ejercicio). El análisis de medidas repetidas ANOVA 2 tiempos (pre-test vs. post-test) × 2 grupos (grupo control vs. grupo experimental) y test para medidas no para métricas, Willcoxon y U Mann-Whitney mostró que la realización del método C-HIIT tiene un efecto inmediato de mejora de la concentración [F(1.18)=20.50; p=.001; η 2=.532; 1–ß >.999] y mejora a largo plazo la calidad de sueño [F(1.18)=69.932; η 2=.795; 1–ß>.975; p<.001] en escolares con dificultades de aprendizaje.

Diversos estudios han señalado la relación del dominio afectivo y el cognitivo en ciencias. El objetivo ha sido comparar las emociones, actitudes y niveles de autoeficacia ante áreas STEM (Science, technology, Engineering and Mathematics) en diferentes etapas educativas. El diseño de investigación ha sido exploratorio y cuantitativo. La muestra ha estado formada por 1097 estudiantes, 540 de Secundaria, 444 de Primaria y 113 maestros en formación. Los instrumentos de medida han indagado en factores emocionales y actitudinales en base a las variables del estudio. Los resultados han revelado que predominan las emociones positivas ante áreas STEM en primaria, existiendo un declive emocional al aumentar el nivel académico. Asimismo, han predominado las emociones positivas en actividades experimentales, y las emociones negativas en actividades de carácter tradicional. Los alumnos de primaria y secundaria han considerado que las estrategias didácticas prácticas facilitan su aprendizaje. Sin embargo, los maestros en formación han mostrado preferencia por el uso de estrategias tradicionales durante sus prácticas docentes, considerando que su alumnado aprendería con ellas. Los niveles de autoeficacia de los participantes han variado en función del nivel académico, y se han encontrado diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre la etapa de secundaria frente al maestro en formación, pues en este colectivo decaen los niveles de autoeficacia ante áreas STEM.

Han sido muchos y muy diversos los instrumentos que se han desarrollado en los países anglosajones para evaluar el clima escolar. Sin embargo, todavía no existe ningún instrumento de medida ampliamente aceptado y validado en castellano que, a través de distintas dimensiones, evalúe de manera equilibrada los aspectos principales que la mayoría de las investigaciones defienden como componentes del clima escolar. Para tratar de solventar esta limitación, el objetivo de este estudio es elaborar un nuevo instrumento de medida de la percepción sobre el clima escolar y analizar su validez de constructo y convergente. Participaron en la investigación 480 estudiantes de Álava y Madrid de entre 12 y 18 años (M = 14.91; DT = 1.49), de los cuales 286 (59.6%) eran mujeres y 194 (40.4%) hombres. El alumnado participante cumplimentó dos cuestionarios: el PACE (clima escolar) y la versión adaptada al castellano del School Engagement Measure (implicación escolar). Los análisis realizados permiten seleccionar los ítems más adecuados para la medida multidimensional del clima escolar. El cuestionario presenta una consistencia interna y validez externa adecuadas. En consecuencia, el nuevo cuestionario consigue superar la limitación de otros instrumentos de medida creados con anterioridad y se discute el procedimiento a seguir en orden a continuar con la validación del mismo.

TIC na educação: obstáculos na prática pedagógica de docentes do Colégio Estadual Wilson Jofre, de Cascavel-PR
Authors: Crepaldi André
Published: December 2019

O presente artigo tem por objetivo identificar os obstáculos enfrentados pelos professores do colégio estadual Wilson Jofre de Cascavel-PR, perante o uso das TIC na prática pedagógica. As mudanças sociais e tecnológicas são fatores que contribuíram para a mudança do perfil da nova geração de adolescentes, vinculados às tecnologias. Dessa forma, são fatores que exigem do professor novas práticas de ensino, para que os alunos se sintam inseridos no contexto escolar. Além disso, as tecnologias são ferramentas importantes para a qualidade da metodologia do professor, pois possibilitam a contextualização do conteúdo trabalhado, agilidade, pesquisa e informação. Além disso, as TIC também contribuem para a aprendizagem dos alunos, pois são ferramentas que possibilitam a construção do conhecimento por meio de simulações e interações em softwares específicos. Assim, não se deve ignorar a importância e função das tecnologias na sociedade, bem como a potencialidade que elas possibilitam a prática pedagógica do professor. Apesar disso, vários docentes têm ignorado as tecnologias e prorrogado seu uso em sala de aula, devido a diversos fatores relacionados à falta de conhecimento, capacitação e até mesmo aos recursos limitados disponíveis nas escolas. Portanto, para identificar os obstáculos enfrentados pelos professores perante o uso das TIC será desenvolvido uma entrevista com cinco professores e observação das aulas, em busca de compreender a realidade do contexto escolar e o conhecimento tecnológico dos professores, para que seja possível buscar as possíveis soluções para os problemas, consequentemente, os docentes poderem fazer uso das TIC no contexto escolar de forma satisfatória.
DESAFIO PARA A CAPELANIA NO SÉCULO XXI: SUPORTE ESPIRITUAL APÓS CATÁSTROFES NATURAIS
Authors: Silva Pedro Santos
Published: December 2019

O grande número de ocorrências de catástrofes naturais no Brasil, principalmente nas últimas duas décadas, tem se apresentado como um desafio para a capelania diante de pessoas que tiveram perdas de bens materiais e na vida de familiares. Dessa maneira, surge o seguinte questionamento: como falar para alguém que perdeu tudo, de um Deus amoroso, mas que “não impediu” o desastre ou “não as ajudou” durante o momento do ocorrido? O presente estudo tem como objetivo apresentar quatro fundamentos, através de argumentações bíblicas, sobre os quais deverá ser viabilizado um suporte espiritual eficaz pós-catástrofes naturais. Foi realizada pesquisa qualitativa de dados, a partir da pesquisa bibliográfica. Na conclusiva, destaca-se o amor de Deus como justificativa para o seu modo de agir, e, as bases para uma abordagem assertiva a ser feita pelo capelão visando apresentar ao seu assistido o verdadeiro entendimento em relação ao propósito, a vontade, as permissões e as providências de Deus.

Published: December 2019

Este artigo é um recorte de uma pesquisa de Mestrado e tem como principal objetivo apresentar uma reflexão sobre o uso de recursos didáticos digitais no Curso de Matemática na modalidade EaD da UFPB. Para dar conta do nosso objetivo e dos questionamentos da pesquisa, recorremos ao apoio teórico de autores sobre o tema, como Peters (2004), Litto e Formiga (2012), Pais (2000), Corrêa (2007), Moita (2007), Barros (2011), dentre outros. A pesquisa teve um caráter descritivo e exploratório e foi realizada com onze alunos de ambos os sexos na faixa etária de 25 a 49 anos. Utilizamos como instrumentos de pesquisa uma entrevista semiestruturada (questionário e entrevista online, no Google docs). Depois de analisar o perfil dos alunos, questionamos sobre as principais dificuldades enfrentadas por eles no Curso. Em seguida, indagamos sobre o uso dos recursos didáticos digitais desenvolvidos para essa modalidade, tendo em vista a heterogeneidade dos alunos. De acordo com os resultados apresentados, concluímos que as principais dificuldades enfrentadas pelos alunos na modalidade EAD é, principalmente, a infraestrutura, que não estava adequada para a modalidade de ensino, bem como os recursos didáticos disponibilizados e o acesso à internet. Esses resultados apontam para a necessidade de diversificar os recursos didáticos que possam atender à heterogeneidade dos alunos nesses cursos, dando ênfase às TDIC, a fim de proporcionar uma educação sem distância.
