Menores inimputables. Estudio de la realidad y propuesta de intervención socioeducativa en Castilla y León "Más por menor"
Authors: Serrate González Sara , Santiago Justino , Silva Melón Laura , Muñoz Rodríguez José Manuel
Published: September 2024

Aparecen, actualmente y por desgracia, noticias y realidades en los medios de comunicación donde los protagonistas son los llamados me¬nores inimputables. Niños y niñas que presentan conductas fuera de la ley con menos de 14 años. Se trata de un tema que preocupa y que ocupa a muchas de las agendas políticas locales y nacionales. Sin em¬bargo, no se trata de una situación donde se pueda ofrecer una rápida respuesta educativa y social, pues partimos de la premisa de que mu¬chos de los hechos, aparentemente delictivos, donde se ve involucrado un menor de catorce años, hay que asumirlos partiendo de la base de que son «niños síntoma de una situación multi problemática». Para abordar esta realidad, se presenta este libro organizado en tres partes. En la primera se muestra una investigación llevada a cabo en Castilla y León sobre la situación educativa y social de los menores inimputables; en la segunda, presentamos una herramienta que per-mite la valoración, por parte de los distintos organismos competentes en materia de atención a la infancia, de los factores de riesgo; y, en la tercera parte, presentamos un programa de intervención basado en la prevención indicada llamado «Más por Menor». El estudio y el proyecto han sido financiado por la Gerencia de Servicios Sociales de la Junta de Castilla y León, con cargo a los Fondos Europeos del Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia –Ne¬xtGenerationEU–, y realizados desde la colaboración entre el Centro Menesiano ZamoraJoven y el Grupo de Investigación GIPEP –Proce¬sos, Espacios y Prácticas Educativas de la Universidad de Salamanca–.
Arquitectura y educación en los años 50. El Instituto Laboral de Tarazona (Zaragoza), uno de los primeros centros de modalidad industrial
Authors: Vázquez Astorga Mónica
Published: September 2024

La creación de Institutos Laborales constituyó un hito destacado de la arquitectura docente del régimen franquista. Al final de los cuarenta, cuando se produjo el primer deshielo de la posguerra, se impulsó su establecimiento para formar nuevos trabajadores con especial capacitación técnica. Estos centros, que comenzaron a construirse a principios de los cincuenta conforme a lo definido en la Ley de 16 de julio de 1949, posibilitaron el acceso a la cultura a un elevado número de jóvenes que hasta entonces no habían podido lograrlo por falta de medios o recursos económicos. Su formación se consideró como una inversión en el futuro del país y fue fruto de sus necesidades socio-económicas. El bachillerato laboral cumplía una doble función, por un lado, ampliaba los conocimientos adquiridos en la escuela primaria, y, por otro, permitía conseguir una preparación práctica que orientaba para un ejercicio profesional. Este trabajo tiene como finalidad documentar y analizar la historia del Instituto Laboral Jesús Rubio de Tarazona (Zaragoza), creado en 1950 y diseñado por el arquitecto Alejandro Allanegui Félez. Dado que se trata de una construcción temprana nos encontramos ante un conjunto que explora una vía intermedia entre tradición y modernidad, pero que atendió a criterios formales y pautas funcionales que fueron tenidos en cuenta por los proyectistas de los futuros Institutos Laborales. Hoy permanece en uso como IES Tubalcaín.

Published: September 2024

En este libro se presenta, en su primera parte, un abordaje narrativo respecto al concepto del engaño y sobre cómo ha sido su estudio, caracterizado principalmente por el análisis de las respuestas psicofisiológicas y el comportamiento verbal en la detección de relatos honestos y deshonestos. Con esto, el lector contará con diversos elementos conceptuales, teóricos y metodológicos para entender lo planteado en la segunda parte de esta obra, en la cual se abordan distintos estudios empíricos con énfasis en la detección del engaño por medio del eye tracker y el análisis del estilo lingüístico, constituyendo así un procedimiento validado para la detección de engaño. Al final se muestran los resultados de distintos análisis estadísticos robustos en cuanto a las diferencias en el comportamiento visual y el estilo lingüístico en los relatos honestos y deshonestos de hombres y mujeres en un estudio simulado con testigos de un delito, y se formula una propuesta explicativa y predictiva de la conducta de engaño, con la cual se hacen sugerencias y recomendaciones para futuras investigaciones.
An e-portfolio theoretical approach for Provisionally Registered Teachers
Authors: Lee Maryann , Pohio Lesley
Published: September 2024

Electronic portfolios offer an option for early childhood provisionally registered teachers (PRTs) to attest to the Registered Teacher Criteria (New Zealand Teachers Council, 2010) through the purposeful selection and reflection of significant artifacts about their practice. Central to the use of e- portfolios is the theoretical framework developed to support the learning process for the PRTs. This paper outlines an e-portfolio project for a group of early childhood PRTs and their mentors, from a cohort of five Early Childhood Centres in the Auckland region. The project drew upon key principles from the early childhood curriculum Te Wh?riki (Ministry of Education, 1996), pedagogical documentation, and e-portfolio best practice. The project?s intention was to create a more effective approach for teachers to engage in the provisionally registered teachers programme, enabling a rich narrative of the teacher?s pedagogical research to be profiled rather than being a repository of evidence.
A design-based research approach implementing a palette of educational technologies to foster 21st century skills
Authors: Kruger Janette
Published: September 2024

This paper discusses how a design-based research approach will be used to design and implement a palette of learning technologies as part of a multi-mode approach in open distance learning. A conceptual-theoretical framework is proposed consisting of the interrelationship between pedagogy and technology and content, design principles, criteria for excellence and higher level outcomes. The intention is to outline guidelines for supporting teacher-students in an open distance learning environment, not only to master knowledge relating to a specific subject area, but also to acquire skills such as self-regulated learning, critical thinking and lifelong learning. Supplementing teacher-students' knowledge and skills will enable them to prepare their twenty- first-century learners for the increasingly interconnected global society they will work and live in.
The peripatetic learner
Authors: Klein Judit
Published: September 2024

The earliest notion of a university came from people walking through the streets of Athens thinking about how the world works and trying to understand it. Apple Distinguished Educator Dr. William Rankin from Abilene Christian University (2012) reframes this notion of the peripatetic learner, originating from Aristotelian philosophy, to describe how mobile technologies have brought about a new way of thinking about education. The ability to be mobile has implications in reshaping future learning: to rethink the spatiotemporal structures of formal tertiary education means to understand both the affordances and challenges. The disruption of traditional pedagogies enables new forms of collaborative interactions to occur. This paper considers how to define a learning space that is no longer constrained by the physical classroom. By taking a technological perspective and a mixed methodology, it aims to evaluate practices of harnessing mobility and collaboration through existing or potential applications on the mobile platform.
Facilitating motivation through support for autonomy
Authors: Hartnett Maggie
Published: September 2024

With the increasing ubiquity of new technologies, many claims are being made about their potential to transform tertiary education. But in order for this transformation to be realised a range of issues need to be addressed. Research suggests that student motivation in technology-rich learning environments is one such challenge. This paper reports on one aspect of a larger study that investigates the nature of motivation to learn in online environments. Using self- determination theory (SDT) as an analytical framework, the focus here is on the underlying concept of autonomy. Ways in which certain social and contextual factors can foster perceptions of autonomy, and in turn motivation, are explored. These factors can have a supportive effect on learner motivation. Most prominent among these are the relevance of the learning activity, promotion of interest and active learning opportunities.
Using Scenario Planning to Inform Pedagogical Practice in Virtual Worlds in Schools
Authors: Bonfield Christopher Alan , Burden Kevin John , Cram Andrew , Lumkin Katy
Published: September 2024

The learning affordances of virtual worlds have long being trumpeted; the barriers to the ?take up of virtual worlds in mainstream education have also been explored, with emphasis being placed on technical problems, lack of time and money. Yet, a challenge for future learning is how one teaches in a virtual world, and what research has been undertaken has focused largely upon tertiary education. Much less is understood about how school teachers should structure virtual lessons, and what level of collaboration or independent work is necessary to guide students towards attainment of learning outcomes. This paper will provide a theoretical review of teaching and learning in virtual worlds, and offer an initial discussion of the role and importance of structure and collaboration in virtual worlds in a school-based environment. This has been validated through four case studies using scenario-planning methodology, and drawing upon real- world practitioner-based examples.
Promoting engagement and interaction through a technology supported learning activity
Authors: Whale Sue , Fisher Josie , Valenzuela Fredy-Roberto
Published: September 2024

In this paper we describe a technology supported learning activity that was developed, implemented and evaluated in a postgraduate, online unit of study offered by the University of New England in 2011. A learner analysis and an analysis of the learning outcomes of the unit informed the development of this activity. The online activity was created within a Wiki and students completed it in the first few weeks of the teaching period. This design was intended to build social presence by encouraging ongoing interaction and engagement in the unit. A constructivist approach was utilised to facilitate this authentic activity in line with theories for learning futures. The activity provided scaffolding for subsequent assessment tasks in the unit. Students? outcomes and their feedback on the activity suggested it was successful in achieving the intended goals.
The affordances of web conferences in online pre-service mathematics education
Authors: Stephenson Brett , Downing Jillian
Published: September 2024

In their books "Teaching the digital generations: No more cookie cutters" (2008) and "Windows on the Future" (2001), Ted McCain and Ian Jukes discuss the change that is necessary in education to respond to technological change. Web conferences are emerging as an important pedagogical tool for pre-service teacher education. In this study pre-service mathematics teachers shared their views of the benefits and limitations that web conferences offer. The collection of data for analysis was from students experienced in web conferences and was obtained by, appropriately, a web conference where questions were presented on the web conference whiteboard and responses and discussion were given using the text, talk, polling and whiteboard tools embedded in the web conference software. This paper will provide a synthesis of the findings and explore the implications for online pre-service teacher education programs.
Applying a Reverse Induction Process for Improved Definition of Higher Education Technology-Supported Research Projects
Authors: Doyle Joanne , Farley Helen
Published: September 2024

Scoping out the detail of a Higher Education research project can be a time-consuming and frustrating experience. The excitement of a research project is frequently stifled by the tedious process of mapping out project activities, estimating required resources and developing project schedules. Reverse induction provides a fresh approach to defining technology-supported research projects. In much the same way as new product development must be guided by an understanding of customer needs, reverse induction focuses on research outcomes before formulating research aims. Using a systematic process of backward reasoning, researchers can define a project concept in a structured and efficient manner. There is significant potential for reverse induction to deliver time and cost savings in a complex and challenging Higher Education environment.
A matrix for sustainable online community development
Authors: Tull Susan
Published: September 2024

In supporting the development of an online community of practice, the uniqueness of a community and its situation need to be recognised in both its design and growth. The matrix outlined in this paper and poster draws from both guidelines and frameworks in the literature, and the study of one developing online community of practice. The perspective it provides will be of particular value to those seeking to grow and sustain an online community of practice, for a relatively small community of educators.
From shed to head
Authors: Parsons Nigel , Symonds Scott
Published: September 2024

The conceptual toolkit is a heuristic device for teaching and learning key concepts and is grounded in Cognitive Load Theory (CLT). It focuses attention by stripping away extraneous material, encouraging a focus on the germane. This project brings the toolkit into virtual existence as a digitally animated interactive resource in the form of an extended metaphor. Key disciplinary concepts are represented as a 'tools' that can gain traction on data like a spanner on a bolt. Tools are acquired by learners and organized in a 'tool shed' ready for use. The tool shed allows students to organize concepts into memorable clusters; tools are organized on shelves akin to cognitive schemata in long-term memory. Subsequently learners may select tools appropriate to a specific 'job' and, extending the metaphor, these are placed into a traditional steel cantilever toolbox ready for use. Exercises then scaffold application and analysis, facilitating higher level thinking; tools are 'picked up' by working memory for application to tasks such as case study or comparison. Reflection on the suitability of tools selected allows for deeper synthesis and understanding.
Benchmarking Open Educational Practices in Higher Education
Authors: Murphy Angela
Published: September 2024

Open Educational Resources are widely discussed in higher education circles and open education practices are being upheld as the second generation of OERs that have the potential to make education freely available to all students. The OERu is a collaborative initiative between 12 institutions globally that is intending to offer courses free of charge to students using only OERs and open practices. This poster presents preliminary results from a research study conducted with 110 representatives of higher education institutions around the world, of which 12 were official; members of the OERu. The study was aimed at identifying the extent to which higher education institutions are currently implementing open policies and practices as well as explore the challenges faced by institutions when considering implementing open initiatives. Results from the study indicate that although higher education institutions are aware of and interested in open education resources and initiatives such as the OERu, there are a number of challenges that need to be overcome before these initiatives are sustainable and more widely adopted.

It will highlight key findings and recommend broad action-steps forward, both in the national and global context.
Follow me!
Authors: Antonio Amy
Published: September 2024

There have been mixed reviews about the use of Twitter for increasing interaction during online conferences. Social media platforms such as Twitter have the potential to satisfy a perceived need for networking and communication opportunities that are commensurate with the face-to-face environment but generally lacking in the online world. However, a reluctance to adopt new and emerging technologies, or perhaps a lack of understanding about how to use Twitter for a more interactive conference experience, has inhibited its success. This paper reports on the use of Twitter in the Follow the Sun Online Learning Festival and provides an overview of the challenges involved in encouraging and sustaining participation in a virtual environment.
Der Fortschritt im geschichtlichen Prozeß - Auseinandersetzungen
Authors: Mańkowski Zygmunt
Published: September 2024

In der zeitgenössischen Geschichtsphilosophie hat sich die Überzeugung von der entscheidenden Rolle des geschichtlichen Prozesses für die Konstituierung des menschlichen Daseins festgesetzt. Im Zusammenhang damit hat der Diskurs zum Thema der Idee (bzw. Kategorie oder Theorie) des geschichtlichen Fortschritts seine Wiedergeburt erlebt. In der Vergangenheit war diese Kategorie Gegenstand zahlreicher Werke und Überlegungen. Dies kam bereits im antiken Gedanken der Griechen zum Vorschein, als die Theorie des zivilisatorischen Fortschritts mit der vom zyklischen Zeitbegriff zusammenstieß. Die Theorie des zivilisatorischen Fortschritts (des Fortschritts im geschichtlichen Prozeß also) tauchte zusammen mit dem „zunehmenden Subjektivitätsbewußtsein des Einzelnen als eigentlichem Schöpfer seines Schicksals und seiner Welt" auf, aber auch mit der wachsenden Überzeugung, daß der Mensch imstande ist, sich „seiner natürlichen Geistes- freiheit" für die Markierung neuer Wege zu bedienen, und daß der Charakter der menschlichen Erkenntnis „unendlich und schöpferisch" ist (Posidonius). Jene Idee wurde von den christlichen Kulturkreisen, für die jegliches Zivilisationsgut, als der zeitlichen Lebenssphäre angehörend, seinen Wert verlor, verworfen.
A narrative review of present knowledge and digital approaches in orthognathic surgery
Authors: Friedrich Constanze , Graw Constantin , Kröplin Juliane
Published: September 2024

Introduction

Anomalies of jaw position and shape affect approximately 10 % of the population. They can have a significant impact on quality of life, which is why the continuous improvement of therapeutic approaches is a key concern in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The aim of this narrative review article is to examine the development of orthognathic surgery in the context of traditional and innovative methods.

Content

A Pubmed-based selective literature search was performed considering literature predominantly from 2022 to 2023. Search terms were “orthognathic surgery” in combination with “virtual surgical planning” and “3D printing”.

Depending on the extent of the existing anomalies, there are purely orthodontic or combined orthodontic-surgical treatment approaches. Technological innovations in particular are changing both the therapeutic approach and the planning of surgical treatment to an almost completely digital workflow. This change can lead to greater precision in treatment and more efficient planning, resulting in reduced costs and an overall improvement in clinical outcomes, including patient satisfaction.

Outlook

This study presents an overview of the field of orthognathic surgery and discusses developments and challenges for the future. With traditional approaches being time-consuming and prone to error digital technologies like VSP, AI and PSIs improve accuracy and efficiency, though challenges persist.
Gender stereotype: the features of development and functioning in the Kazakh language
Authors: Igissinova Amangul , Kossymova Gulbanu , Mamyrkhanova Zhamila
Published: September 2024

The relevance of this study consists in the entire society’s strong awareness of the need for gender equality, not only in a practical sense but also at the level of communicative culture. This culture strongly influences people’s self-awareness and often determines their role in everyday life, depending on the attitude inherent in the lexical units that are applied to an individual. The purpose of the study is the most complete consideration of the specific features of gender stereotype functioning and development in the Kazakh language in different aspects, the identification of types of gender vocabulary, and consideration of the historical and cultural context of the development and functioning of a gender stereotype in the Kazakh language. Both linguistic and historical methods were used, which allowed for considering the communicative culture of the Kazakh language not only in modern realities but also in a historical context. As a result of the study, the phraseologisms of the Kazakh language, including gender stereotypes, were considered, and the features of gender stereotype development in the historical context were considered. As a result of the study, a conclusion was made about the specific features of the development and functioning of the gender stereotype in the Kazakh language, its spread in the communicative culture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the influence on the perception of individuals due to the use of gender-coloured lexical units in their address, and the definition of gender stereotypes of “masculinity” and “femininity” was made, which allowed for a more accurate classification of the gender-coloured group of lexical units in the Kazakh language.
Coagulation aberrations in adult patients with acute leukemia: A single center experience
Authors: Alnuaimy Sarah
Published: September 2024

Background and objective: Acute leukemia (AL) patients are at high risk for bleeding and thrombotic events due to the disruption of the normal hemostatic system associated with this disease. As a result of the lack of data on coagulopathy in AL patients in our locality, we conducted this study to assess the hemostatic parameters in patients with newly diagnosed AL at the time of presentation. Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study included 59 patients with de novo AL, along with 35healthy control subjects. The study was conducted at Nanakali Hemato-Oncology Center between September 2021 and May 2022. Coagulation markers, including prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen levels (FBG), D-dimer (D-Di), antithrombin (AT), protein C (PC), and protein S (PS) were measured for each patient and control. Results: The median age of the patients was 41 years, with a male to female ratio of 1.1:1. Thirty-eight (64.4%) patients had acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 21 (35.6%) patients had acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). D-Dilevels were significantly raised in both AML and ALL compared to controls. PT was significantly higher, and PC and AT were significantly lower in AML compared to ALL or control groups. The Bleeding incidence in AML was significantly higher than in ALL (65.8% versus 23.8%). Thrombosis occurred in two (3.4%) patients. Conclusion: Coagulation abnormalities were common in AL. The hemostatic derangement and bleeding at the time of presentation were more pronounced in patients with AML than in ALL.

Authors: Abda Rezhna , Alalaf Shahla
Published: September 2024

Background and objective: Obstructed labor is a serious intrapartum emergency especially seen in women deprived of modern healthcare delivery. It could be one of the major reasons of morbidity and mortality for both the mother and the newborn. This study was aimed at determine the rate, causes and perinatal outcomes of women who have obstructive labor during delivery. Methods: A cross-sectional study that was conducted on 150 delivering women having obstructed labor at Maternity Teaching Hospital, Erbil city, Kurdistan Region, Iraq from 1st of March 2021 to 1st of March 2022 The rate, socio-demographic characters (age, parity, smoking, antenatal care, residency, education level, gestational age), causes like (malposition, malpresntation, cephalo-pelvic desorption) and perinatal outcomes were recorded. Results: of 9137 labor, 150 were obstructed labor; the total rate was 1.6% during the period of the study. There was no statistically significant associated between socio-demographic characters like age, smoking, gestational age, residency, education level, antenatal care and obstructed labor except multiparity that has significant association. There was a significant association between the causes like cephalo-pelvic disproportion, malposition, malprsentation, sized baby and having fracture to spine and pelvis or trauma and obstructed labor. Also there was no statistically significant associated between Apgar score and admission to neonatal intensive care unit. Conclusion: Obstructive labor is common during labor. Malposition was most common the cause of obstructive labor and parity has association with it too. Neonatal morbidity and mortality are dependent on the type of presentation.

Published: September 2024

Background and objective: Increased blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) and lack of insulin are a hallmark of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), which is a chronic autoimmune illness results from the destruction of pancreatic beta –cells. The most common causes of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are autoimmune diseases Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves’ disease, respectively. Because type 1 diabetes includes autoimmunity as a pathophysiological trigger, it is not uncommon to investigate patients with both diabetes and thyroid problems. The aim of the study is to evaluate serum thyroid hormones in patients with type1 diabetes mellitus. Methods: In this study 104 participants were included, 52 patients with type1 diabetes, and 52 healthy individuals. Blood samples were taken, and serum thyroid hormones levels were measured and the results of cases and controls were analyzed and compared using SPSS program. Results: It was found that the levels of T4 among non- diabetic participants were higher than those of diabetic patients. (P <0.001). There is a negative correlation between BMI and fasting blood glucose in T1 diabetic patients according to regression test it has been shown that any increase in the FBG leads to decrease in the BMI. Conclusion: The present study shows that type 1 diabetes mellitus may affect thyroid gland and thyroid hormone levels, that may result in thyroid dysfunction.

Published: September 2024

Background and objective: Obesity is a worldwide epidemic and a public health concern. It is one of the most significant alterations occurring in the menopause. It is closely related to the development of endometrial bleeding, increase endometrial thickness and endometrial cancer. The main objectives of this study were to demonstrate the independent effects of obesity and its relationship with endometrial thickness and histopathological outcome in women experiencing vaginal bleeding after menopause. Methods: The study included hundred women who were experiencing postmenopausal bleeding included in this study. Their obesity was calculated by BMI. Biopsy taken from them either through a Pipelle sampler as an outpatient, or hysteroscopy under general anesthesia, or with dilatation and curettage under general anesthesia for histopathology examination to decide endometrial thickness and related pathology. Results: The mean age of the studied women was 57.2 ± 6.4 years, which ranged between48 – 83 years. The mean endometrial thickness (ET) of the whole sample was 10.64 mm. The highest was 13.36 mm among obese women with a BMI of ≥ 35 Kg/m2. There was a significant correlation between BMI and endometrial thickness. endometrial polyps were detected in 50% women who had normal weight. The highest mean of ET (13.95 mm) was detected among women with endometrial carcinoma. There was no any significant relationship between age of menopause with the histopathological diagnosis. The highest rate of endometrial carcinoma was detected among obese women of ≥ 35 Kg/m2. Conclusion: According to the current study, obesity increases the risk of endometrial cancer and endometrial hyperplasia in postmenopausal women.
Effect of kyron T-134 and crospovidone as a fast disintegrating agent on formulation properties of fast dissolving tablet containing ketorolac and rizatriptan using direct compression method
Authors: Izzalddin Rawand , Hussein Nozad
Published: September 2024

Background and objective: Fast dissolving tablets (FDTs) are "they are uncoated tablets that are supposed to be placed in the mouth and dispersed quickly before being swallowed" within minutes. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate a combination of ketorolac and rizatriptan as orally fast-dissolving tablets using the most common and easiest method to treat migraine attacks with or without aura. To investigate the effects of various types of diluents and super disintegrants on wetting time, water absorption ratio, disintegration, and dissolution time of combined drugs (ketorolac and rizatriptan) as oral dissolving tablets prepared by direct compression technique. Methods: Pre-formulation experiments were carried out in order to rule out any physicochemical interactions between the two medications (ketorolac and rizatriptan) as well as between each drug and its excipients. Four different formulations of fast-dissolving tablets with different types and ratios of diluents and super disintegrants were created using the direct compression technique in order to improve the formulation. Organoleptic characteristics, weight variation, thickness, friability, hardness, disintegration duration, wetting duration, water absorption ratio, drug content, in-vitro dissolution, stability, and comparison tests have all been characterized. Results: According to FT-IR, the two drugs and excipients exhibit no physicochemical interactions. The ideal formula F4 contains crospovidone and Kyron T-134 at optimal concentrations of 2.5% and 2.5%, respectively, and provides the majority of pharmaceutical drugs to be released within the first five minutes, a strong stability profile, the shortest wetting time with the fastest disintegration time (10 sec), and a pleasant flavor (strawberry flavoring agent). Conclusion: Kyron T-134 with Crospovidone in a (1:1) ratio provided rapid disintegration. Ketorolac tromethamine and rizatriptan benzoate may be made into fast-dissolving oral tablets using Kyron T-134 and Crospovidone. Improving migraine compliance is a reasonable goal.

Problem and goal. The article presents materials from a study of the problem of the influence of personal, psychofunctional qualities of students on the effectiveness of the formation of professional skills in visual activity. The study of the innate psycho-functional inclinations of perceptual perception on the process of forming students’ imaginative thinking makes it possible to improve the quality of learning and effectively implement the acquired skills to create an artistic image. The development of students’ creative abilities in the process of professional training allows them to develop an interest in independent intellectual activity and improve professional skills in creative activities. The purpose of the article is to study the influence of personal, psychofunctional qualities of students in the “Design” direction on the formation of professional skills in visual arts. Methodology. The study used methods for assessing the creative thinking of students: Personal creative characteristics of F. Williams (1980), E. E. Tunik. Self-organization of activities Mandrikova E. Yu. Assessment of students’ mastery of graphic skills was carried out according to generally accepted criteria for visual activity. The results obtained were processed by methods of mathematical statistics using the software package “Statistica 10.0 for Windows”. Studying the problem of developing the creative potential of the innate, creative inclinations of the individual allows us to solve the problem of developing professional skills in visual arts. The results of the study indicate that the formation of professional skills in visual arts is determined by individual, innate inclinations of creative thinking; imagination, curiosity, the ability to find new solutions and apply complex techniques when performing a drawing. At the same time, determination in combination with self-organization of educational activities is the basis for the effective development of artistic and professional skills. Conclusion. As a result of the study, it was found that the effectiveness of the formation of professional skills in visual arts among students is determined by the innate inclinations of creative thinking: purposefulness, focus on the present, attentive attitude to the technique of representation, in combination with self-organization of educational activities, such as a necessary condition for the effectiveness of mastering professional skills, at the same time, for students with a dominant, passive, sensory-emotional perception of the world around them, orderliness and perseverance, as indicators of self-organization of activity, have a relatively subjective nature of application in the process of visual activity.
The possibilities of the Teams information system in creating a digital footprint of first-year students
Authors:   Yaroslavl State Technical University, Tsarev Yuri V.
Published: September 2024

The article examines in detail the problem of assessing the involvement of first-year students in the educational process and the degree of assimilation of knowledge using digital technologies that make it possible to obtain a student’s digital footprint. The purpose of the article is to present the technology for obtaining digital footprint data when teaching first-year students at Yaroslavl State Technical University in the discipline “Information Systems Architecture” in the MS Teams environment and to show options for performing digital footprint analysis. Methodology. The formation of digital footprint data was carried out in the process of lecture surveys, work on laboratory assignments and passing an exam. To obtain a digital footprint, information systems MS Teams, MS Excel, MS Forms were used. Data obtained in the MS Teams environment was subjected to pre-processing, cleaning, merging tables, and adding (deleting) attributes. The generated tables were analyzed using classification and cluster analysis to search for non-trivial knowledge. Cluster analysis allows us to identify groups of students who successfully complete lecture and exam testing and those who have difficulties completing test tasks. The analysis allows us to identify the level of complexity of tasks and allows for their adjustment. A comparison of the success of completing tasks during the lecture course and in the exam gives an idea of the students’ ability to prepare for participation in testing and the ability to memorize large volumes of complex scientific and technical information.
The evolution of court within viceregal households in the Americas (1665-1746): the decline of a domestic economy
Authors: Jiménez Castillo Juan
Published: September 2024

This article analyses the evolution and development of royal households in the governmental structure of Spanish America between 1665 and 1746. This study aims to provide answers to the governmental crisis that developed in the kingdoms of the Indies after the Crown prohibited viceroys from granting grants and offices to their relatives and servants (1678), which limited the size of viceregal households and their entourages. In short, the purpose is to illustrate how the dismantling of the viceregal domestic structure and governance from afar affected viceregal households as a nucleus of political power.

Synergistic effects of herbicidal rice husks and pyrolysis liquid from waste wood-based panels were studied relative to the germination of three common weed species in a tea plantation. The pyrolysis liquid consisted of various organic acids, phenols, alcohols, ketones, and nitrogen compounds, with organic acids accounting for up to 46.8% of the content. Three seeds of smooth crabgrass (Digitaria ischaemum), annual fleabane (Erigeron annuus), and hedge-parsley (Torilis scabra (Thunb.) DC) were treated with 2000 and 4000 L/ha of pyrolysis liquid, as well as 50, 100, and 200 m3/ha of pyrolysis liquid as a cover material. The pre-emergence herbicide tests demonstrated that the combination of rice husks and pyrolysis liquid effectively inhibited seed germination and aboveground biomass of the weeds. The weed control effect increased with the increase in the amount applied. The combination of rice husks (200 m3/ha) and pyrolysis liquid (4000 L/ha) exhibited the highest weed control efficacy, reducing seed germination and aboveground biomass by 69.1%, 79.5%, and 97.6% for smooth crabgrass, annual fleabane, and hedge-parsley, respectively. Discarded furniture materials and rice husks can both be used as sustainable materials for weed control, offering a fresh approach to the efficient utilization of waste materials.

Published: September 2024

Objective. This study evaluated the adequacy of a structural equation model examining the relationship between spiritual health, resilience, and aggressiveness. Method. Four hundred young individuals (aged 18-30) from Costa Rica and Mexico (66.5% females, 33.5% males) actively involved in religious congregations completed Spiritual Health, Mexican Resilience, and Aggression Questionnaire scales. Data was analyzed using a structural equation model. The analysis revealed a statistically significant but suboptimal fit (χ2 = 224.333, df = 51, p < .001). Nevertheless, the estimated fit indices exhibited reasonably satisfactory fit (CFI = .912, TLI = .886, RMSEA = .092, SRMR = .060). Results. Spiritual health positively affects resilience and negatively affects aggressiveness, while resilience negatively impacts aggressiveness. Consequently, fostering spiritual health may enhance the positive response in challenging situations.
