COMPRENSIÓN DE LAS FRACCIONES COMO MEDIDA POR ESTUDIANTES DE 6º GRADO DE EDUCACIÓN PRIMARIA
Authors: Charnei Margaret , Basniak Maria Ivete
Published: January 2023

La introducción y enseñanza de las fracciones en la escuela primaria privilegia el significado parte-todo. Esta perspectiva tiende a desviar a los estudiantes, ya que pueden entender que el conjunto de los números racionales es una extensión del conjunto de los números naturales. Sin embargo, la investigación ha demostrado que la enseñanza de las fracciones desde una perspectiva de medición, utilizando el material de Cuisenaire, favorece el desarrollo del sentido numérico de las fracciones y permite que conceptos como las fracciones impropias y equivalentes se comprendan fácilmente y se construyan de manera efectiva. Este trabajo investiga actividades matemáticas desencadenadas por tareas exploratorias utilizando el material Cuisenaire para abordar las fracciones en la perspectiva de la medida en el 6º año de la Enseñanza Fundamental, considerando las cuatro fases del Modelo Instruccional 4A en la comprensión de las fracciones. Los resultados revelan que los estudiantes, al manipular, observar y comparar las barras, pasaron de la fase de Acciones Concretas a la Fase de Acciones Formales, dándose cuenta de las relaciones entre las barras y, de esta forma, construyeron ideas matemáticas. Los estudiantes entendieron la diferencia en la magnitud numérica de los números naturales a los números fraccionarios, reconociendo fracciones equivalentes y realizando operaciones, incluso reconociendo que cometieron errores al operar con fracciones porque usaron las propiedades de los números naturales. Además, se les introdujo en el lenguaje algebraico sin generar ninguna carga cognitiva.

Published: January 2023

Se realizó un análisis documental de tipo teórico para identificar las características de la discriminación por razón de edad o estereotipos por razón de edad y las estrategias propuestas para afrontar dicho fenómeno dentro del marco de la terapia ocupacional y de los ejes de la Socioformación. Se siguió la metodología de análisis documental basado en la UVE de Gowin, a partir de 3 metas y 4 categorías. La discriminación por razón de edad es un problema que afecta la participación social, la ocupación, la salud física y emocional, así como la calidad de vida de la persona mayor. Esta discriminación surge a partir de constructos sociales internalizados desde la infancia y a partir de las barreras arquitectónicas, las limitaciones en el acceso a oportunidades laborales, de salud, sociales y de servicios, lo cual afecta al adulto mayor dentro del contexto social. En conclusión, se determinó que la discriminación por razón de edad puede afrontarse a través de la terapia ocupacional en relación con la participación social y la socioformación desde la infancia, con el diseño de un proyecto ético de vida, acciones de emprendimiento, colaboración y de desarrollo social sostenible, así como con el uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación.
 
A theoretical documentary analysis to identify discrimination derived from age or stereotypes  as a consequence for age and the proposed strategies to face up to this phenomenon within the framework of occupational therapy and the axis of Socioformation. The methodology used for the documented analysis was based on Gowin's UVE, using three goals and 4 categories. Discrimination as a result of aging is a problem that affects social participation, occupation, and physical and emotional health as well as the quality of life. This discrimination develops as a result of social constructs internalized since infancy and increases as the aged person finds difficulties in physical access derived of poor architectural planing, fewer job opportunities and decreased access to health and social services which increases its psychosocial isolation. In conclusion, it that the age discrimination could be tackled using occupational therapy focusing on their social participation as well as educational and socioformation interventions starting in infancy, this would be designed as an ethical lifelong project, unselfish collaboration and sustainable social development as well as using advances in information and communication technologies.

Stages of Ukraine's accession to the European Union and future prospects
Authors: ASIRIAN Siuzanna , SEMENCHENKO Tetiana , LESHCHENKO Olena
Published: December 2022

Introduction. Accession to the European Union provides a large number of economic, political, cultural and social benefits. Back in 1994, Ukraine expressed its aspiration to become a member of the EU and is still not a member of the EU. Today our country is a candidate for EU membership.
The purpose of the paper is to consider the general stages and criteria of EU accession and to analyze Ukraine's path towards EU accession and future stages of accession.
Results. Article 49 of the Treaty on European Union defines the geographical criterion for accession to the EU. Being the largest country in Europe by area, located in its eastern part, bordering the EU member states: Romania to the southwest, with Hungary, Slovakia and Poland to the west - Ukraine undoubtedly meets the geographical criterion. The Copenhagen criteria are: political, economic and membership criteria. As for the Copenhagen criteria, the answer to the question whether Ukraine meets them is currently different among international scholars. In our opinion, indeed, at the current stage of European integration Ukraine has already implemented a number of political conditions, in particular, partially fulfilled the requirement of the European Union to carry out a number of reforms and adapt Ukrainian legislation to the European one.
As for the stages of accession to the EU, they are evaluation; negotiations; ratification.
Usually, accession is preceded by years of cooperation with the European Union. To express its intention to do so, the state and the Community conclude an international agreement on in-depth cooperation, which provides for an active political dialogue. Negotiations are a process that involves the adoption of established EU legislation, preparations for its proper application and compliance, as well as the implementation of judicial, administrative, economic and other reforms necessary for the country to meet the conditions of accession, known as the accession criteria. After that, the last stage is ratification.
Ukraine has successfully passed the first stage and received the status of a candidate state.
Conclusion. On February 28, 2022, the President of Ukraine signed the application for Ukraine's membership in the EU - this marked a new stage for our country on the path of European integration. In this regard, close cooperation between Ukrainian officials and representatives of the European Union is currently underway to simplify and speed up the overall lengthy accession procedure. Ukraine will be able to achieve an appropriate level of economic development, high quality of life, make effective and accessible the provision and protection of human rights, implement all aspects of democracy, introduce energy security.
Public works as a form of administrative sanction
Authors: MOSKALENKO Anastasiia , UDOVYCHENKO Tetiana
Published: December 2022

Introduction. Administrative offenses are the most common of all types of offenses committed on the territory of Ukraine every year. Together, they pose a significant threat to the state and society. Effective in combating this is the application of administrative responsibility, the final result of which is the imposition of administrative fines. Among them, public works occupy a special place, which is one of the relatively new types of administrative fines.
The purpose of the paper is to define the concepts, signs, classification and conditions of application of public works as a type of administrative penalty, its main functions and goals.
Results. The paper provides a scientific analysis of public works as a type of administrative fines. The concept is explained, the main features and features of this type of sanction are clarified. The classification of socially useful works is given depending on the sphere of social life. The reasons for imposing a penalty in the form of community service on the offender have been clarified. A comparative analysis of public works with other types of enforcement is carried out. The main purpose of the application of public works is defined.
Conclusion. The most expedient is the definition of community service as one of the types of administrative sanction applied to the guilty person by court decision and aimed at exercising an educational influence, consisting in the obligation to perform unpaid socially useful work that does not affect the financial condition of the offender. Administrative fines in the form of community service are imposed with the aim of achieving the following goals: to exert labor and educational influence on the violator; to prevent the commission of new offenses by the same person; due to general prevention, deter other members of society from illegal acts; to give a person the opportunity to acquire skills and knowledge in a new field of activity that is socially useful; to form the idea of justice, mutual respect and legal awareness in society.
Features of the regulation of foreign economic activity during martial law
Authors: PETRYSHYN Nataliia , TODOSHCHUK Andrii , DAVYDCHAK Marta
Published: December 2022

Introduction. As a result of the introduction of martial law on the territory of Ukraine, state regulation is complicated by a number of problems, in particular, in the area of ensuring economic stability and development. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find new mechanisms for the organization of state regulation of foreign economic activity, which will be adaptive to today's conditions and provide adequate support for international trade relations, in order to facilitate the search for new markets for the sale of domestic products and services.
Purpose. Research and analyze the state of state regulation of foreign economic activity in Ukraine. To characterize the implemented changes in the mechanism of regulation of foreign economic activity in the conditions of martial law. To single out the problems of state regulation of foreign economic activity and to outline future prospects for development.
Results. Since martial law is a specific legal regime, the use of market instruments of influence on foreign economic activity that existed before the war may not be appropriate. Therefore, the state introduced certain changes in the legislation on the regulation of foreign economic activity. In particular, it is possible to import most goods in a simplified way without making customs payments and without carrying out a customs inspection; quotas and export licensing of agricultural groups of goods were introduced; the deadline for settlement of operations on the export and import of goods has been reduced; it is prohibited to carry out cross-border transfer of currency values from Ukraine, etc. Particular attention is paid to the problems that complicate the process of introducing foreign economic activity in the conditions of war and directly affect the economic condition of both the enterprise and the state.
Conclusion. During the martial law, changes in the regulation of foreign economic activity should take into account the partial loss of logistics infrastructure, the increase in the level of political risks, the difficulty of choosing partners and establishing cooperation, etc. and help the country in the effective conduction of international trade.
Problems of financing reconstruction of buildings and constructions after the war in Ukraine
Authors: RYBAK Olena , RIABOSHAPKA Oleksandr
Published: December 2022

The need for extensive reconstruction of buildings and structures will become one of the most important social problems after the war. Existing traditional financing mechanisms will not be able to solve it in the near future. Therefore, the issue of financing the reproduction of buildings and structures on the territory of Ukraine needs an immediate solution, taking into account all possibilities and modern trends in the development of the financial and public sectors.
In view of the above, the study reveals the main trends in the development of the construction market during the crisis and during the war, and defines the main prospects and directions of development. Among them, the reproduction of buildings and structures after the war is recognized as key.
Since the beginning of the military invasion, there has been a great need for major repairs of existing residential buildings. The indicated issue is critical for certain segments of the population and carries a certain social threat. Financing problems cannot be overcome at the expense of construction companies today. The construction market turned out to be quite sensitive to various crises and disasters. Currently, the market has low rates of profitability, which excludes capital investments with a long payback period.
Therefore, there is a need to create an adapted financing mechanism for the reproduction of buildings and structures, which will allow balancing time gaps. It will create an opportunity to attract additional financing at the beginning of investments by construction companies of Ukraine. The following recommendations can be made to improve the efficiency of the repair policy: the introduction of population fees for capital repairs, budget financing of targeted programs for housing repair, sponsorship, use of crowdfunding and international and national fundraising platforms, joint investment institutes, credit unions, etc. The proposed approaches will make it possible to reproduce buildings and structures, and eliminate the acute social need of the population.

Published: December 2022

This paper is devoted to the problems of ensuring an adequate level of protection of vital human interests in the extremely difficult conditions of the present time. To date, military actions throughout the territory of Ukraine have led to the destruction of infrastructure, a significant number of industrial and municipal facilities, as well as led to a violation of ecological balance and changes in the state of the environment. The blossoming and fertile in the recent past land with optimal natural conditions and significant ecological potential is suffering irreparable losses every day. The ecology of Ukraine, which was formed and actively supported for decades, was duly assessed in terms of environmental capabilities of individual regions and the whole country, has become one of the most ecologically «polluted». The war has made its adjustments. The absolute majority of fertile lands in the south, east and north of Ukraine became unusable for a long time. After all, every shell left on our land is not only toxic explosives, but also toxic fuel that causes damage for thousands of years. Significant negative consequences are caused to natural ecosystems and their elements. But, despite all the existing problems, the issues of protection of fauna, water, land, soil, subsoil, forest resources, air quality and preservation of territories and objects of the nature reserve fund continue to be a priority for our country and civil society. The changes in legislation and their impact on the environmental situation, including the problems of violation of the natural balance of life and the resulting increase in global environmental challenges facing the country's public administration system, are analyzed. The main possible threats to the environmental security of Ukraine are identified and their essence is disclosed on the basis of current legal acts. The main problems on the ways of improving the legal support of food security of Ukraine and the world in the conditions of war are outlined.

Fenomena Childfree Pada Generasi Milenial Ditinjau Dari Perspektif Islam
Authors:   Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Nuroh Siti , Sulhan M ,   Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Published: December 2022

This research examines the childfree phenomenon in the millennial generation from an Islamic perspective. The research method used is library research with qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. Childfree is an agreement made by a husband and wife not to have children during their marriage. With the normative approach of the Qur'an and Sunnah, it can be seen that having offspring is a recommendation in Islam, not an obligation. So that childfree is not included in the category of prohibited acts, because every married couple has the right to plan and manage their household life including having children. Nevertheless, even though there is no verse that directly prohibits childfree, as a human being who believes in Allah SWT, the choice to be childfree can be said to be an unwise choice because Allah SWT guarantees the survival of each of his servants. In Islam children are seen as a gift to be grateful for because children are a gift from God. Every human being who is given the mandate to be a parent must carry out this role properly and in totality.

Authors: Noor khalid
Published: December 2022

To make the image easily represented for more analysis and processing the segmentation procedure is required, where the image is portioned into its formed regions using some segmentation techniques based on features extraction. In this paper, a proposed procedure for finding the regions that formed the image is achieved based on hybrid features in two different components of different two colors spaces L*a*b* and RGB segmented by the k-means method. The hybrid features which comprise the mask segmentation are a combination of texture image characterization extracted by the Gabor filter and gradient image intensity by the Sobel operator after image quality enhancement by applying wiener filter noise reduction and contrast enhancement using Contrast limited adaptive equalization (CLAHE). Some statistical metrics are used for evaluating the performance of the proposed work stages.
Nowcasting domestic liquidity in the Philippines using machine learning algorithms
Authors: Reyes Juan Rufino
Published: December 2022

This study utilizes a number of algorithms used in machine learning to nowcast domestic liquidity growth in the Philippines. It employs regularization (i.e., Ridge Regression, Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO), Elastic Net (ENET)) and tree-based (i.e., Random Forest, Gradient Boosted Trees) methods in order to support the BSP’s current suite of macroeconomic models used to forecast and analyze liquidity. Hence, this study evaluates the accuracy of time series models (e.g., Autoregressive, Dynamic Factor), regularization, and tree-based methods through an expanding window. The results indicate that Ridge Regression, LASSO, ENET, Random Forest, and Gradient Boosted Trees provide better estimates than the traditional time series models, with month-ahead nowcasts yielding lower Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). Furthermore, regularization and tree-based methods facilitate the identification of macroeconomic indicators that are significant to specify parsimonious nowcasting models.

Published: December 2022

The application of artificial-intelligence technology to weapon systems, is difficult to use in military applications for such reasons as killing or wounding problems, ethical problems, and field environment considerations; therefore, more-sophisticated techniques and development are required for testing and evaluation. There is an increasing demand for advanced weapon systems that incorporate new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, and for electrification, and a new paradigm that can confirm and verify the performance required for field operations is required. Therefore, through case studies on digital twins, a plan for field testing and initial operational capability in future weapon systems was developed. Five development directions were identified, including policies and systems, organization, establishment of infrastructure, and utilization plans, to establish a field test and initial operational capability. In addition, studies on economic ripple effects and cost-effectiveness were conducted based on application cases of digital twins in the private sector. An optimal method for users to safely verify performance by utilizing the digital twin method to overcome the difficulties of testing and evaluating weapon systems with new technologies from the time when the weapon system requirements are determined to mass production is proposed.

Acute retinal necrosis: pathophysiological aspects, diagnosis, and treatment
Authors: Mitkova-Hristova Vesela , Stoyanova Nina S.
Published: December 2022

Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a devastating viral infection commonly associated with varicella zoster virus (VZV) and herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1, HSV-2). Typically, ARN affects individuals without immune status disorders between the ages of 50-70. In two-thirds of the cases, one-eye involvement is observed and the inflammation can be presented as panuveitis. The most characteristic clinical manifestations are vitreitis, occlusion of the retinal arterioles, and peripheral necrotizing retinitis. Retinitis presents with the appearance of deep, multifocal, yellowish-white foci, typically localized in the peripheral retina. Systemic antivirals are the first treatment of choice for ARN. The goal of the therapy is to stop the viral replication and disease progression in the affected eye, as well as to prevent involvement of the healthy eye. The other eye can be attacked in an interval of 5 days to 30 years. The visual prognosis after illness is poor. Early diagnosis and timely initiation of treatment play an important role in maintaining visual acuity and preventing the other eye from being affected.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: Patients with chronic renal disease (CKD) are at a significantly elevated risk for ventricular arrhythmia. Several electrocardiographic (ECG) methods can be used to assess the ventricular arrhythmia risk on the standard 12-lead ECG.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the ECG parameters of ventricular repolarization abnormalities, such as QT, QTc, Tp-e, and Tp-e/QT ratio, Tp-e/QTc ratio, and their predictors in hemodialytic end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.

Materials and methods: Fifty-three patients with hemodialytic ESRD and 32 pre-dialytic CKD patients were enrolled in the study. ECG parameters were measured manually using calipers. The independent samples t-test was used for comparative analysis. The multivariate linear regression analysis was used to distinguish the independent predictors of each ECG parameters and variables correlating significantly in bivariate analysis.

Results: Mean ages of hemodialytics and pre-dialytics were 47±11 and 51±7 years, respectively. Ventricular repolarization abnormalities in the hemodialytic compared to the pre-dialytic group were found to be significantly different [QTc (448±34 vs. 428±31 ms, p=0.007), Tp-e (81±20 vs. 71±19 ms, p=0.025), Tp-e/QT (0.23±0.06 vs. 0.20±0.05, p=0.043)]. QTc interval was positively correlated with sodium (p=0.001) and age (p=0.007). Tp-e/QT ratio was the ECG parameter correlated to most of variables including eGFR (p=0.003), creatinine (p=0.040), potassium (p=0.009), chloride (p=0.048), and glucose (p=0.041).

Conclusions: Ventricular repolarization was found to be increased in patients with hemodialytic ESRD. Hence, observation ECG parameters of ventricular repolarization should be performed in the hemodialytic patients for early detection of ventricular arrhythmia.
Surgical treatment of endo-periodontal lesion – а case report
Authors: Ivanov Ivan , Mlachkova Antoaneta
Published: December 2022

The interrelationship between periodontium and pulp makes the treatment of combined endo-periodontal lesions (EPL) more challenging. It involves successful elimination of both periodontal and endodontic lesion. The current case report represents the efficacy of regenerative potential of enamel matrix derivates (Emdogain®) in endo-periodontal lesion after successful endodontic treatment. A 39-year-old woman presented with EPL on a left first mandibular molar. After the initial 3 months of healing, the clinical examination showed that the furcation involvement still prevailed. A decision was made to use a regenerative procedure using Emdogain®. Fourteen months after the procedure, full periodontal regeneration can be seen on the X-ray. The results demonstrated the synergetic effect of the endodontic and periodontal therapy that changed the prognosis for the tooth.

Introduction: The ovariectomized rat is a model used to mimic the changes in female organism during menopause.Aronia melanocarpafruit juice (AMFJ) is extremely rich in phenolic substances (procyanidins, flavonoids and phenolic acids).

Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of AMFJ on rat behavior in a model of ovariectomy-induced estrogen deficit.

Materials and methods: Four groups of female Wistar rats were used, each consisting of 14 animals – sham operated (SO), ovariectomized (OVX), OVX+AMFJ5,and OVX+AMFJ10. After two-week recovery from the operation, three-month oral treatment was performed with distilled water for the SO and OVX groups, and AMFJ at doses of 5 ml/kg and 10 ml/kg for the OVX+AMFJ5and OVX+AMFJ10groups, respectively. Then, behavioral tests were conducted. Locomotor activity was assessed using the open field test (OFT). Anxiety was evaluated in the OFT, elevated plus-maze test and social interaction test. Depressive behavior was assessed in the forced swim test. Thermal pain sensitivity was measured in the hot plate test.

Results: OVX rats showed increased anxiety, depressive behavior and pain sensitivity in comparison with SO animals. Compared to OVX rats, anxiety, depressive behavior, and pain sensitivity of AMFJ-treated animals were decreased. Locomotor activity of AMFJ-treated rats was reduced in comparison with both SO and OVX animals, probably due to the sedative effect of the juice.

Conclusions: AMFJ was able to antagonize the negative impact of the estrogen deficit on rat behavior (anxiety, depression, pain sensitivity), probably due to the biological activity of its polyphenolic ingredients.

Published: December 2022

Achalasia is a rare motility disorder with unknown etiology that results in failure of relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). As there is no etiological treatment, different pharmacological agents and invasive techniques have been used for relieving the symptoms. For the past decade, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has proven to have excellent results.

We present a retrospective study of five patients that underwent POEM for primary achalasia. We used anterior approach for the submucosal tunneling. The procedure showed immediate results and no severe short- or long-term adverse events. We have been following the patients up for more than 3 years now.

Since its invention more than ten years ago, the POEM procedure and its advantages and disadvantages compared to the pneumatic dilatation and the Heller myotomy have been extensively studied. There is still no universal opinion on which procedure should be the first line treatment.

Published: December 2022

The ring-legged earwig Euborellia annulipes (Lucas, 1847) is recorded for the first time on the territory of Serbia. The species was found in the greenhouse of Jevremovac Botanical Garden in Belgrade and represents the second allochthonous invertebrate species registered in this greenhouse, after an exotic millipede. In total, 10 specimens of ring-legged earwig were found in the sections of the greenhouse where tropical and subtropical plants are cultivated. The first checklist of earwigs of Serbia was compiled and notes on autochthonous species are given.

Euphydryas aurinia, a highly endangered species listed on the Annex II of the Habitats Directive as well as on the Annex II of the Bern Convention, has a wide distribution in the Palearctic realm. Although it is an intensively studied species, its distribution is still not enough known. In Romania, in the last century it has been reported almost exclusively from the regions inside and westwards to the Carpathian Mountains. Records from Oltenia and Wallachia are filling a gap in the known distribution of this butterfly in the southern part of Romania, while 13 new records consolidate the known range of this species in southern and eastern Transylvania. In order to assess the progress encountered, a critical reviewed checklist with the records of the Marsh Fritillary presented in a regional distribution map complete this paper.
Prehistoric nests of Mud Dauber Wasps (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) discovered in Transylvania, Romania
Authors: Popa Alexandra Florina , Kavruk Valerii , Beldiman Corneliu
Published: December 2022

Fragments of mud dauber wasp’s nests dating from the Bronze Age (Noua culture, about 1500–1200 BC) from a Romanian archaeological site are described. The present discovery represents, to our knowledge, the first reported fragments of mud dauber nests recuperated from an archaeological site in Romania and probably among the rare ones from Europe. The archaeological site called Zoltan-“Nisipărie” is placed in the Covasna County, south-eastern Transylvania. The five fragments belong to two nests made by Sceliphron sp. wasps genus and they were described in terms of general and detailed morphology and morphometry. Two nest fragments preserve in situ secondary cells, showing evidence of nest reoccupation by other insects. Another important aspect of this discovery is the opportunity to extract and analyse a whole secondary cell from the original nest fragment. Various impressions of vegetal material (grass, straws etc.) and a seed on the nest fragments’ surface were observed using microscopic techniques. The preserved pieces recovered from archaeological investigations provide important data regarding the local environmental conditions during the recent period of Bronze Age in an anthropized environment of the Noua culture.
L’Accord sur la paix et la réconciliation au Mali, issu du processus d’Alger de 2015, est-il encore pertinent ?
Authors: Normand Nicolas
Published: December 2022

L’Accord d’Alger signé en 2015 entre le gouvernement malien et deux coalitions de groupes armés du nord du pays vise principalement à changer l’architecture institutionnelle du Mali et à intégrer les ex-combattants dans l’armée ou l’administration ou à les aider à s’insérer socialement et économiquement. L’Accord n’a presque pas été mis en œuvre en raison d’une forte défiance entre Bamako et les mouvements signataires, chacun estimant que l’autre ne joue pas le jeu. Les groupes armés auraient dû disparaitre par le désarmement et les élections, mais ceci ne s’est pas produit. Quatre éléments expliquent le non-désarmement : les conflits entre les mouvements signataires, leur propre protection contre les djihadistes de l’EIGS, la défense contre les velléités de reconquête du gouvernement et enfin le lien établi entre le désarmement et les avancées des réformes institutionnelles. À terme, les risques de non-application de l’Accord sont la partition de fait, voire la reprise du conflit. À ce stade, les groupes armés contrôlent déjà le nord du pays. Sortir de cette impasse suppose de surmonter les ambiguïtés initiales. À défaut de pouvoir réécrire quelques articles de l’Accord qui pourraient mettre en cause le caractère unitaire du Mali, il serait possible de prendre des lois d’application rectifiant des points litigieux, avec l’accord des mouvements signataires. Le déblocage suppose enfin que les ex-rebelles touaregs et arabes, ethniquement minoritaires au nord du Mali, acceptent de renoncer aux armes au profit des règles électorales.

El presente trabajo es derivado del proyecto de investigación desarrollado bajo el apoyo de la Secretaría de Investigación y Posgrado, con número de registro 20200832, que lleva por título” Sistema inteligente para gestionar los recursos y exámenes asignados durante el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en un aula virtual” El propósito de este capítulo es mostrar el desarrollo de un sistema que permite a los docentes realizar algunas de las gestiones académicas requeridas y a los estudiantes a contar con material que le apoye en su proceso de aprendizaje. El uso de la aplicación puede aumentar la actividad académica al tener métodos de evaluación más efectivos que usando solo los métodos convencionales, mejorando el tiempo del profesor y la forma de dar sus clases, además de brindar un conjunto de características para dicho fin. La investigación tuvo un alcance descriptivo y para la construcción de la aplicación AADAGA se empleó la metodología Métrica Versión 3. El sistema permite tres tipos de usuarios: Alumnos, Docentes y Administradores, y permite cargar contenido que puede ser empleado por los alumnos, siendo éste; actividades, publicaciones, materiales y cuestionarios. También se cuenta con un módulo de notificaciones vía email. Se realizaron pruebas unitarias para comprobar que el funcionamiento de cada módulo, como unidad de código, funcione correctamente por separado. Por lo que estas pruebas se realizaron de forma local, sin tener conexión a la nube o a servidores, con inserción automatizada de datos generados. Se aplicó una encuesta a 17 profesores que emplearon esta herramienta y los resultados se plasmaron en una tabla y gráficas, el resultado relevante se muestra a continuación: La curva de aprendizaje es corta debido a que el manejo de la herramienta fue bastante empírico, el uso de la aplicación es completamente gratuito para todos los usuarios (docentes, alumnos y administrador), es flexible para complementar los cursos escolarizados permitiendo que se adapte a la mayoría de las formas de trabajo de los docentes y que es capaz de homogeneizar la forma en cómo se apoya la escuela en las tecnologías.
