Published: December 2023

O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a implantação do processo de formação continuada sobre as TICs para professores da rede pública do município de Cachoeirinha– PE. Para isso, foi realizado uma pesquisa-ação, descritiva, com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa. Foram abordados professores da rede pública municipal de educação, os quais responderam a um questionário, do tipo fechado. Como resultado, foi possível verificar que os docentes afirmam ter algum conhecimento de TICs, destacam a importância de seu uso, mas nem todos as utilizam em sala de aula. Referente à formação continuada, os professores reconhecem a importância, mas alguns afirmam não ter participado de nenhuma formação continuada on-line em TICs. Mediante as respostas do questionário, foi idealizado a possibilidade de elaborar um site com cursos e informações sobre TICs. O projeto proposto foi apresentado aos professores, posteriormente, para verificar o seu interesse no tema, a curiosidade, o manuseio e facilidade ou dificuldade de acesso. Através da observação sistemática, foi possível identificar que a maioria se mostrou interessada e curiosa, e terá facilidade de navegar pelo site. Desta forma, concluiu-se que, com a criação de uma ferramenta de fácil acesso, é possível ofertar a formação continuada e o conhecimento de TICs aos professores.

Language teachers in science education? – Disciplinary literacy and integrated knowledge-building in linguistically diverse classrooms

The purpose of the article is to contribute knowledge about how disciplinary knowledge and literacy in linguistically diverse classrooms can be discerned and promoted. The article presents analyses of how a science teacher explores methods for teaching content, language and texts in a grade 7, and how a Swedish teacher leads the reading from a textbook in the classroom. The data has mainly been collected through observations and video and audio recordings, and has partly been developed through a collaboration between the science teacher and the researchers. The concept semantic waves is used to analyse, discuss and problematize the results. The results contribute to the understanding of teachers’ pedagogical attempts to promote students’ disciplinary knowledge and language. The paper exemplifies and discusses opportunities and limitations for an engaging and integrated knowledge-building in science teaching and in collaboration with other teachers.

”Det fattas jättemycket” – genreteoretiska perspektiv på vuxna andraspråkselevers texter och responssamtal
Authors: Sandgaard-Ekdahl Hanna , Walldén Robert
Published: December 2023

Studien bidrar med kunskap om funktionella aspekter av vuxna andraspråkselevers arbete med skrivrespons och argumenterande texter. Den genomfördes inom grundläggande vuxenutbildning, en svagt representerad skolform i skrivdidaktisk forskning. Materialet består av inspelade responssamtal i mindre grupper samt de elevtexter som låg till grund för samtalen. Studien synliggör vilka aspekter i texterna som eleverna fokuserar på i samtalen och vilka aspekter som skulle behöva stärkas i argumentationen. I analysen används systemisk-funktionell genreteori. Resultatet visar att eleverna identifierade utvecklingsområden i texter baserat på den genrestruktur undervisningen hade utgått ifrån. Samtidigt hade eleverna hade eleverna svårt att identifiera vad som krävdes för att genrestrukturen skulle byggas ut på ett fungerande sätt. Studien ger teoretiska redskap för att synliggöra språkliga mönster på lokal textnivå för att stödja andraspråkselevers skrivutveckling.

”Lots of things are missing”: Genre-theoretical perspectives on adult second-language students working with feedback and argumentative texts.

The article contributes knowledge about functional aspects of adult second-language students working with writing feedback and argumentative texts. It was conducted in basic adult education, which is underrepresented in writing pedagogy research. The material consists of recorded feedback discussions in small groups and the student texts the discussions were based on. The study highlights the aspects of text the students focused on in the discussions and the aspects that could further strengthen the argumentation. In the analysis, systemic-functional genre theory is used. The result shows that the students identified areas of improvement based on the genre structure the teaching had focused on. However, the students had difficulties in identifying how the genre structure could be developed in a functional way. The study gives theoretical tools to highlight patterns of language on a local text level to support second-language students writing development.

Deliberation och kritik i förskolans undervisning för hållbar utveckling – ”så att det bli snällt där i världen”
Authors: Hedefalk Maria , Caiman Cecilia , Ottander Christina
Published: December 2023

Artikeln visar på hur undervisning i form av drama kan ge barn möjligheter att deliberera och utveckla kritiska resonemang kring hållbarhetsfrågor. Syftet är tvådelat, att identifiera konfliktområden som konstitueras, samt att bidra med didaktiska komponenter som är betydelsefulla för att stödja sådan undervisning. Vi har utifrån en pragmatisk ansats identifierat följande konfliktområden i samtalsprocessen: behovsanpassad fördelning, resursvis fördelning, fördelning utifrån merit och att dela lika. Utifrån dessa har vi extraherat didaktiska komponenter som ger möjlighet till deliberativa och kritiska samtal: att leva sig in i en annans perspektiv, inkludera faktakunskaper, uttrycka och lyssna till olika lösningar och att ställa olika lösningsförslag mot varandra, möjligheten att ändra sin ståndpunkt och slutligen att temporärt kunna ta ställning. I en osäker och föränderlig värld förmodas prövande och att föreställa sig det som ännu inte finns vara betydelsefullt i utbildningen.

Deliberation and criticism in preschool teaching for sustainable development - "so that it will be nice there in the world"

This study examines teaching for sustainable development. The purpose is twofold, to identify areas of conflict that are constituted in the teaching, and to contribute with didactic components that are important in teaching with focus on deliberating and conducting critical discussions. We have started from a pragmatic approach to identify the conflicts that arose in the conversation process: needs-adapted distribution, resource-based distribution, distribution based on merit and sharing equally. Based on the conflict areas, we have extracted didactic components that provide the opportunity for deliberative and critical conversations: empathy with another's perspective, include factual knowledge, express and listen to different solutions and to set different solution proposals against each other, the opportunity to change one's standpoint, and finally being able to temporarily take a stand. In an uncertain and changing world, trying-out and imagining what does not yet is presumed to be significant in education.

Vad kan den som kan? – (ämnes)kunnande som centralt forskningsobjekt i ämnesdidaktisk forskning
Authors: Carlgren Ingrid
Published: December 2023

I artikeln argumenteras för att kunskaper om kunnanden är en viktig aspekt av lärares professionella kunskapsbas och att utvecklingen av sådana kunskaper är en viktig uppgift för den ämnesdidaktiska forskningen. Att förmedla kunskaper handlar om mycket mer än att överföra den kodifierade och formulerade kunskapen. Kunskaper om vad som kännetecknar kunnanden inom olika ämnesområden skulle ge lärare möjligheter att bättre förstå elevernas svårigheter i lärandet och bidra till en mer systematisk undervisningsutveckling. Kunnande beskrivs som kunskapens ”underförstådda baksida”, och det som binder ihop kunskaper med individen och det sammanhang där kunskapen fyller en funktion. För att utveckla ett ämneskunnande måste, utöver fakta och begrepp, också de sätt att erfara och förhålla sig till världen som utvecklats inom ämnestraditionen erövras. I artikeln ges exempel på hur kunnande, som oftast inte kan observeras direkt, kan studeras och beskrivas.
ENGLISH:
What does the knower know? (Disciplinary) knowing as a central research object in subject didactic research
The article argues that knowledge concerning subject specific knowings is a central aspect of teachers’ professional knowledge and that generating such knowledge is an important task for subject didactic research. The teaching of subjects includes more than what is explicitly codified and formulated. Knowledge of what characterizes knowings within different subject areas is important for teachers’ understanding of student learning difficulties and will contribute to a systematic development of teaching these subject areas. Knowing is described as the tacit aspects of knowledge and that which connects ”the known” with the individual knower as well as the context where this known is functional and used. It is not enough to learn facts and concepts in order to develop subject specific knowings but also acquire specific ways of experiencing and relating to the specific subject area. The article also gives examples of research concerning subject specific knowings.
Islamic supplementary education as an extra-curricular activity
Authors: Berglund Jenny
Published: December 2023

Sociological studies have shown that teenagers in larger Swedish cities from ‘poor result schools’ participate in extra-curricular activities connected to religion more frequently than others, and that involvement in such religious activities is positive in terms of educational outcomes for pupils from the lower strata of the social hierarchy. These findings raise new questions about supplementary Islamic education, as this is one type of religious extra-curricular activity found in many such areas. The article is based on interviews with students as well as observations from four Swedish mosques. The purpose is to discuss how we can understand the potentially compensatory effect of supplementary Islamic education. Thus, the emphasis is not on the traditional core of Islamic education, but on what we can call co-curricular Islamic educational activities, such as football, homework help, and mathematics.
Tabligh, Tarbiyyat and the Religious Education of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat in Scandinavia
Authors: Mahmood Amna
Published: December 2023

The article is based on a study of the Jamia Ahmadiyya UK and its Scandinavian-born Muslim students and alumni for an MA thesis. Drawing on fieldwork and interview material collected between September 2019 and January 2020, it identifies tabligh (propagation) and tarbiyyat (upbringing) as central aspects of Ahmadiyya religious learning. It explores how tabligh and tarbiyyat are instrumental in the preservation and transmission of Ahmadiyya teachings and faith within the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat (AMJ). While the starting point is the Jamia Ahmadiyya, a Muslim seminary, also highlighted is the upbringing program, waqf-e-nau, and various auxiliary groups formed of Ahmadi men and women that are sites of religious education and learning and illustrate the multifaceted nature of the organization and its learning practice.

Le comportement concurrentiel du dirigeant de TPE du secteur des services traditionnels au prisme de la psychologie cognitive
Authors: Eymas Fabien , Bensebaa Faouzi
Published: December 2023

S’il est admis de longue date que pour comprendre le comportement concurrentiel de la très petite entreprise (TPE), il faudrait s’intéresser à son dirigeant, l’étude de sa sphère cognitive n’a que peu mobilisé les concepts forgés en psychologie cognitive, dont l’objet est pourtant d’analyser la cognition des individus. Pour pallier ce manque, nous avons cherché à découvrir ce que l’approche de traitement de l’information, dominante en psychologie cognitive, pouvait apporter à la compréhension des fondements cognitifs du comportement concurrentiel du dirigeant de TPE. À cette fin, nous nous sommes entretenus avec vingt dirigeants de TPE du secteur des services traditionnels, sur leur manière de se représenter la concurrence et d’y faire face au quotidien. Les retranscriptions des récits des dirigeants ont donné lieu à une analyse de contenu menée sur la base d’un codage théorique. Il ressort de ce travail un rôle central du raisonnement des dirigeants de TPE du secteur des services traditionnels dans leur comportement concurrentiel. Cette recherche nous a permis de construire un mécanisme qui traduit le raisonnement implicite du dirigeant en matière de comportement concurrentiel.
EL PAPEL DE LA FRASEOLOGÍA EN LOS ESTILOS HUMORÍSTICOS EMPLEADOS POR ADOLESCENTES CON TRASTORNO DEL ESPECTRO AUTISTA
Authors: Merino González Alicia
Published: December 2023

El principal objetivo de esta investigación es indagar en el empleo de las unidades fraseológicas (UF) producidas en relatos humorísticos escritos por adolescentes con trastorno del espectro autista (TEA). Para ello, contemplamos las situaciones humorísticas pertenecientes a los estilos de humor descritos por Martin et alii (2003). Se ha apuntado que la fraseología en narraciones humorísticas escritas por menores neurotípicos es un indicador de humor (Timofeeva-Timoveev y Ruiz-Gurillo, 2021; Merino, 2023a). Sin embargo, en esta investigación pretendemos ir más allá y observar los valores que presentan estas unidades en escritores con TEA. Así pues, buscamos examinar posibles diferencias con respecto a los resultados del estudio con adolescentes neurotípicos (Merino, 2023a). En los relatos analizados documentamos UF imbricadas en los estilos humorísticos contraproducente, reafirmativo y, especialmente, agresivo. Asimismo, el ingenio de nuestros participantes se refleja en la variedad de valores, el uso creativo de las UF, el empleo de los fraseologismos no solo como indicadores (Merino, 2023a;b), sino también como marcas de humor y la inversión de papeles en las situaciones humorísticas agresivas. Estos resultados, por un lado, contrastan con las dificultades atribuidas a su condición (TEA) y, por otro, con el estudio en participantes neurotípicos (Merino, 2023a). En última instancia, aunque en algunas ocasiones los adolescentes con TEA muestran cierta desorganización en su exposición (producto de la función ejecutiva), incluyen sin dificultades unidades figurativas en contextos humorísticos inventados. Además, en estas situaciones recurren a estados internos y muestran un contexto propicio para desencadenar efectos humorísticos mediante fraseologismos.
A high-precision image registration method for multi-channel single molecule localization

Single-molecule localization technology has been widely used in single-particle tracking and super-resolution imaging of biological samples, as it can bypass the diffraction limit of optical systems. Multi-channel single-molecule localization uses multiple imaging channels to simultaneously track different targets or perform multi-color super-resolution imaging, and can also improve the axial depth of single-particle tracking or achieve higher localization precision and density for super-resolution imaging. However, the difference between images in each channel can affect collaborative localization or quantitative analysis, so image registration is a key step in its image data preprocessing. Moreover, due to the high precision of single-molecule localization, its requirements for multi-channel image registration accuracy are also high. Existing technologies generally use control point-based registration methods and often use complicated and precise methods to obtain fiducial images for locating control point pairs to achieve high-precision image registration, which involves high sample or experimental equipment requirements and is difficult to directly extend to other systems. Therefore, developed in this work, is a high-precision image registration method that can directly use randomly distributed fluorescent beads as fiducial samples based on local nonlinear transformation and elimination of mismatched points. By monitoring and iteratively filtering control points in the process of feature matching and transformation model parameter estimation to eliminate control point pairs that are not accurately matched due to inaccurate or poor precision of single-molecule localization, the adverse effects on accurate acquisition and precise matching of control points when using randomly distributed fluorescent beads as fiducial samples are eliminated. At the same time, a second-order polynomial fitting based on local weighted mean is used for estimating the transformation model parameter to better adapt to the existence of local nonlinear deformation between different channels. The results show that using this method only requires three iterations to find and eliminate control point pairs that are not accurately located and matched, thereby achieving more accurate transformation model parameter and improving the registration accuracy by an order of magnitude, achieving a registration accuracy of about 6 nm in a complex dual-channel single-molecule localization imaging system based on orthogonal astigmatism.
Multisensory integration operates on correlated input from unimodal transient channels
Authors: Parise Cesare V , Ernst Marc O
Published: December 2023

Audiovisual information reaches the brain via both sustained and transient input channels, representing signals’ intensity over time or changes thereof, respectively. To date, it is unclear to what extent transient and sustained input channels contribute to the combined percept obtained through multisensory integration. Based on the results of two novel psychophysical experiments, here we demonstrate the importance of the transient (instead of the sustained) channel for the integration of audiovisual signals. To account for the present results, we developed a biologically inspired, general-purpose model for multisensory integration, the multisensory correlation detectors, which combines correlated input from unimodal transient channels. Besides accounting for the results of our psychophysical experiments, this model could quantitatively replicate several recent findings in multisensory research, as tested against a large collection of published datasets. In particular, the model could simultaneously account for the perceived timing of audiovisual events, multisensory facilitation in detection tasks, causality judgments, and optimal integration. This study demonstrates that several phenomena in multisensory research that were previously considered unrelated, all stem from the integration of correlated input from unimodal transient channels.

The main olfactory epithelium initiates the process of odor encoding. Recent studies have demonstrated intergenerationally inherited changes in the olfactory system in response to fear conditioning, resulting in increases in olfactory receptor frequencies and altered responses to odors. We investigated changes in the morphology of the olfactory epithelium in response to an aversive stimulus. Here, we achieve volumetric cellular resolution to demonstrate that olfactory fear conditioning increases the number of odor-encoding neurons in mice that experience odor-shock conditioning (F0),
as well as their offspring
(F1). We provide evidence that increases in F0 were due to biased stem cell receptor choice. Thus, we reveal dynamic regulation of the olfactory epithelium receptor composition in response to olfactory fear conditioning, providing insight into the heritability of acquired phenotypes.Odor-shock pairing is inherited by naïve offspring and biases neurogenesis in the nose.Olfactory fear conditioning leads to an increase in conditioned-odor-responsive cells in parents (F0) that is heritable (F1)Increase in conditioned-odor-responsive cells is sustained through at least 9 weeks of cell turnover in the main olfactory epitheliumOlfactory fear conditioning in F0 biases neurogenesis specifically toward conditioned-odor responsive cell fate
A new extension of Poisson distribution for asymmetric count data: theory, classical and Bayesian estimation with application to lifetime data
Authors: Alomair Abdullah , Ahsan-ul-Haq Muhammad
Published: December 2023

Several research investigations have stressed the importance of discrete data analysis and its relevance to actual events. The current work focuses on a new discrete distribution with a single parameter that can be derived using the Poisson mixing technique. The new distribution is named the Poisson Entropy-Based Weighted Exponential Distribution. It is useful for discussing asymmetric “right-skewed” data with “heavy” tails. Its failure rate function can be used to explain situations with increasing failure rates. The statistical properties of the new distribution are expressed explicitly. The proposed model is simple to manage for under-, equal-, and over-dispersed datasets. The model parameters are estimated using the maximum likelihood method. We consider the parameter estimation for the new model based on right-censored data with a cure fraction. One more focus of the present study is the Bayesian estimation of the model parameters. In the end, three real-world dataset examples were utilized to show the value of the new distribution. These applications revealed that the new model outperforms other standard discrete models.

We performed and selected a nested case–control study that included 150 lung cancer cases and 150 matched controls based on the Lianyungang cohort. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was utilized to investigate the connection between potential risk factors and lung cancer incidence risk.

Results

In this study, the average age of participants was 66.5 ± 9.1 years, with 58.7% being male, and 52.7% reportedly experiencing sleep quality problems. The results of multivariate logistic regression showed that poor sleep quality was connected to an increased lung cancer incidence risk (P = 0.033, odds ratio = 1.83, 95% confidence interval = [1.05–3.19]) compared with those with good sleep quality. The stratified analyses showed a significantly positive connection between poor sleep quality (vs. good sleep quality) and cancer risk in smokers (vs. non-smoker, P for interaction = 0.085). The combined effect analysis indicated that smokers with poor sleep quality suffered from a 2.79-fold increase in cancer incidence rates when compared with non-smokers with good sleep quality.

Conclusions

Poor sleep quality was positively connected to an increased lung cancer incidence risk. In addition, among those individuals with poor sleep quality, smoking increased the lung cancer incidence risk.

Background

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is an economically significant crop for both the sugar and biofuel industries. Breeding sugarcane cultivars with high-performance agronomic traits is the most effective approach for meeting the rising demand for sugar and biofuels. Molecular markers associated with relevant agronomic traits could drastically reduce the time and resources required to develop new sugarcane varieties. Previous sugarcane candidate gene association analyses have found single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with sugar-related traits. This study aims to validate these associated SNP markers of six genes, including Lesion simulating disease 1 (LSD), Calreticulin (CALR), Sucrose synthase 1 (SUS1), DEAD-box ATP-dependent RNA helicase (RH), KANADI1 (KAN1), and Sodium/hydrogen exchanger 7 (NHX7), in a diverse population in 2-year and two-location evaluations.

Methods

After genotyping of seven targeted SNP markers was performed by PCR Allelic Competitive Extension (PACE) SNP genotyping, the association with sugar-related traits and important cane yield component traits was determined on a set of 159 sugarcane genotypes. The marker-trait relationships were validated and identified by both t-test analysis and an association analysis based on the general linear model.

Results

The mSoSUS1_SNPCh10.T/C and mSoKAN1_SNPCh7.T/C markers that were designed from the SUS1 and KAN1 genes, respectively, showed significant associations with different amounts of sugar-related traits and yield components. The mSoSUS1_SNPCh10.T/C marker was found to have more significant association with sugar-related traits, including pol, CCS, brix, fiber and sugar yield, with p values of 6.08 × 10−6 to 4.35 × 10−2, as well as some cane yield component traits with p values of 1.61 × 10−4 to 3.35 × 10−2. The significant association is consistent across four environments.

Conclusion

Sucrose synthase (SUS) is considered a crucial enzyme involved in sucrose metabolism. This marker is a high potential functional marker that may be used in sugarcane breeding programs to select superior sugarcane with good fiber and high sugar contents.
A Critical and Comprehensive Study on Paddy Market Trends, Predictive Models, and Stability for Agricultural Revenue Enhancement

Published: December 2023

The way agricultural commodities' prices behave indicates how prices occasionally fluctuate between markets [1]. Comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into the dynamics of paddy prices in Gujarat, emphasizing the importance of considering both short-term fluctuations and long-term trends. The findings contribute to a better understanding of market behaviour, aiding stakeholders in informed decision-making within the agricultural sector. In order to provide farmers with the knowledge of how much prices fluctuate over time in commodity markets and so increase their revenue, a ten-year study on the price behaviour of paddy was conducted inside the borders of the state of Gujarat (2009-2019). In order to gather statistics, three paddy markets in the state of Gujarat were specifically chosen based on the paddy arrivals that were highest. The trend diagram of the wholesale prices' yearly index number showed constant price fluctuations across the study period. Cuddy Dell Valle Index (CDI) was calculated to measure the instability in yearly and monthly prices.  Based on the investigation, it was determined that paddy displayed a poor stability index within their respective marketplaces. The trend in paddy prices was measured using the linear and quadratic models. For paddy markets, the coefficient of multiple determination (R2) was greater than 70%. Thus, it can be said that a significant portion of the changes in paddy prices over the chosen study period can be attributed to the linear model. In keeping with the quadratic trend, the markets for paddy, or Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, also showed a positive coefficient of the quadratic term, or T2. Comparing the quadratic and linear model for the markets of paddy the quadratic model performed better in Gandhinagar than the linear model did in Ahmedabad and Surat. Compound rate of increase in annual prices were analysed by exponential model. The rates of growth in the prices of Paddy in Ahmedabad, Surat, and Gandhinagar were 5.80 percent, 5.84 percent, and 4.68 percent, respectively. To separate seasonal variation from the original composite data, a multiplicative model was applied. To arrive at the twelve-month total of 1200 points, these ratios were averaged for each of the twelve months for the whole period. The Ahmedabad market's paddy produced the highest coefficient of seasonal variation (25.84 percent).

Published: December 2023

The current study was performed at MARDI Seberang Perai, Penang, Malaysia, during the Off Season 2020. This study aims to analyze genetic parameters, correlation, and path coefficient for 11 agronomic traits in 19 maintainer rice genotypes. All experimental units were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Observations were recorded for days to 50% flowering, plant height, culm height, panicle length, total panicle per plant, total spikelet per panicle, spikelet fertility, thousand-grain weight, grain length, grain width, and grain yield per plant. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences in the genotype factor for all assessed traits. The total spikelet per panicle trait exhibited the highest phenotypic and genotypic variance. Moreover, this trait had high broad-sense heritability and high genetic advance as percent of mean. Total panicle per plant recorded the highest value of phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation among traits under study and were classified as high and moderate, respectively. The traits association study revealed a significant positive correlation between grain yield per plant and two traits: total panicle per plant and spikelet fertility. Path analysis revealed a very high direct effect of plant height, culm height, and panicle length on grain yield per plant. This study contributes essential knowledge for the strategic design of effective breeding programs.

High population pressure, climate change, stagnant crop productivity, changing food habit and declining natural resources compelled us to go for climate resilient resource conservation technologies to bring sustainability in our crop production. Crop diversification by replacing high input requiring cereals with “nutri- cereals” minor millets in our crop rotations and by following intercropping of minor millets with pulses or oilseeds may be economically profitable, environmentally safe and socially acceptable approach to ensure food and nutritional security of the burgeoning population. This is high time to include millets in our daily diets but millet availability in sufficient amount is big issue. Millets are crops of rainfed and dryland resource poor areas and moreover under the threat of global warming and changed climatic scenario sole planting of millets generally gives less economic returns. So, there is an urgent need for incorporation of the pulses/oilseeds as intercrop in millets production system to enhance the production to feed the increasing population on sustained basis besides restoring the soil nutritional status and to overcome the environmental stress. But performance of intercropping system depends on proper selections of suitable intercrop, appropriate row ratio combination and proper input management. Very limited research work has been conducted on intercropping in millets so far but noteworthy information was recorded by the researchers, which has been reviewed through a sincere effort here to give critical view about intercropping in minor millets for agricultural sustainability to the farmers, researchers and consumers.
