Authors: Dagienė Valentina
Published: March 2024

The main aim of this paper is to identify current major trends in geometry and to discuss perspectives concerning its teaching in schools, for today and for tomorrow. Geometry involves three kinds of cognitive processes which fulfill specific epistemological functions: (1) visualization processes with regard to space representation for the illustration of a statement, for the heuristic exploration of a complex situation, etc.; (2) construction processes by tools: construction of figu­rations can work like a model; (3) reasoning in relationship to discursive processes for extension of knowledge, for proof, for explanation. The paper deals with relationship between geometry and computer technology. Among all school subjects, geometry stands as one which is bound to be influenced most profoundly by the recent progress both in hardware and software development. The purpose is to examine some influence of computer technology in the teaching and learning of geometry.

Authors:   M.G. Kholodny Institute of Botany of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Onoiko O. B.
Published: March 2024

In the recent years, due to the increasing resistance of pathogens to synthetic antimicrobial drugs, the use of highly active compounds from plants, which have proven their effectiveness in traditional medicine practices, is increased. Extracts of medicinal plants often contain a unique species ‒ specific combination of active ingredients that have a synergistic therapeutic effect. Therefore, the analysis of the biochemical composition of cultivated plants and the range of their potential biotechnological application is an urgent task. Aim. To summarize the information on the potential of the xerophytic plant Tetragonia tetragonioides as a source of functional food ingredients and biologically active substances that increase nonspecific organism resistance and contribute to the prevention and treatment of various diseases. Results. T. tetragonioides is a salt-tolerant and heat-resistant plant containing valuable nutrients and biologically active substances, a significant amount of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibers. The high level of antioxidant compounds, especially flavonoids and carotenoids, helps to reduce the risk of degenerative pathologies developing associated with excessive oxidative stress. The unique complex of biologically active substances in T. tetragonioides, which includes 6-methoxyflavonols, predominantly derivatives of 6-methoxykaempferol, as well as megastigmanes and their glucosides, lignanamide, provides significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antimicrobial activity and may be beneficial for the prevention of chronic diseases and age-related health problems. The effectiveness of T. tetragonioides has been demonstrated in animal models in the treatment of metabolic disorders such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia. Conclusions. T. tetragonioides, containing a specific complex of biologically active compounds, primarily 6-methoxyflavonols, may be a promising raw material for obtaining effective medications for the treatment and prevention of various chronic diseases and metabolic disorders.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SPECTROMETRIC VALUES OF DNA, RNA, AND THE PCR PRESENCE OF A PATHOGEN IN SINGLE TICK SAMPLES
Authors:   Genekam Biotechnology AG, Duisburg, Germany, Baersch Gudrun
Published: March 2024

Aim. Ticks are the vectors of many pathogens, which cause diseases with fatal consequences. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the presence of these different pathogens in ticks, but there is a need of isolated nucleic acid to conduct the molecular assays. In our previous research, we found that some ticks give huge yield of isolated nucleic acid during spectrometric measurements, therefore aim of this study is to find whether there is any relation between spectrometric values of DNA, RNA and presence of Borrelia burgdorferi as example pathogen in single tick samples. Methods. DNA and RNA were isolated with mini column method from single tick samples. They were run in real time as well as conventional PCR tests for the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi. The nucleic acid yields of isolated nucleic acid samples were measured with a spectrophotometer. Results. It was found that there were 47 ticks positive for Borrelia burgdorferi and 40 were negative. Average isolated DNA and RNA quantity was higher in pathogen positive ticks than those of negative ticks. There was no correlation between the yield of nucleic acid and presence of pathogen in a single tick, but there was tendency that pathogen positive tick gave higher yield of DNA and RNA during the isolation. Conclusions. This study shows some of Borrelia burgdorferi positive ticks give very high yield of DNA and RNA during the isolation. There is no correlation between presence of pathogen and nucleic acid in a single tick, but there is tendency that pathogen positive tick may have higher nucleic acid yield. Therefore, our recommendation is that laboratory should always measure the nucleic acid yield along with conducting the PCR tests.

Authors: Kamil Sukron
Published: March 2024

Although religion faces many challenges, such as clashing with modernity and becoming the object of criticism,  religion has a thousand lives. One Indonesian novel created by Achdiat Karta Mihardja entitled Atheis (1990) pictured this religious phenomenon. Therefore, this article discusses Islam, secularism, and humanism in the Novel. This is qualitative research with the literary approach that combines the comparative literature theory of American schools and sociology focused on the sociology of modernity and religion. This research finds the novel as a criticism and reconstruction of Islam that is compatible with secularism and humanism in general, though in certain parts they are different. Further, the author of this novel reveals a good and proper Islam based on the text, first, it is concerned not only with the afterlife but also the present and here-ness real life. Thus, he criticizes the Islamic pattern which believes in superstition. Second, the Islamic form according to humanism and moderat feminism as the core of Islam is a public benefit and blessing for the universe. This research concluded that the novel's criticism is in line with the criticism in the scientific sociological Islamic literature.

Con la llegada de la pandemia de COVID-19 los espacios de encuentro físico cambiaron de manera forzosa para los estudiantes de la presencialidad a la virtualidad; lo sabemos porque lo vivimos en la Universidad Autónoma de Occidente y en todo el Planeta. Pero con el regreso progresivo a los salones de clase y con el final de la emergencia sanitaria, ¿por qué los profesores de esta universidad se siguen reuniendo en un espacio académico digital con invitados de múltiples especialidades? La consolidación del Seminario Aprendiendo en Ambientes Virtuales fue una propuesta circunstancial de la época, que sembró una semilla para continuar creciendo hasta el día de hoy con una metodología de trabajo dialéctica entre profesores expertos en educación y profesores interesados en mejorar sus prácticas en la modalidad presencial, virtual o híbrida. Las expectativas de sus buenos resultados siguen siendo altas, pues los recursos digitales y las redes institucionales facilitan la ampliación de comunidades de aprendizaje en temas de la educación superior en Colombia y en el mundo.

El tránsito de la investigación junto a la formación constituye el primer peldaño para la inserción del estudiante hacia la actividad científica, pudiendo consolidar su aporte al conocimiento mediante la publicación científica. La naturaleza del estudio tuvo un carácter cualitativo hermenéutico. El objetivo fue lograr la inserción del estudiante hacia la publicación de la investigación científica mediante el diseño de un proyecto basada en el ABPt en una asignatura del rubro de investigación del décimo ciclo de un programa de estudio del área de la salud de una Universidad Peruana; fue aplicado durante los 2 ciclos académicos del 2022; el proyecto fue aplicado en 10 equipos de trabajo integrados por 1 tesista (autor) y 3 estudiantes de la asignatura (coautores). El proyecto diseñado mostro resultados favorables; de un total de 10 manuscritos enviados a evaluación para publicación: el 30% fue publicado y el 40% se encuentra en solución de observaciones por los coautores. El proyecto diseñado logro la inserción del estudiante hacia la publicación de la investigación científica, además confirió al estudiante experiencia investigativa científica.
Dificultades en la Construcción del Gráfico de Caja por Futuros Profesores Chilenos de Enseñanza Básica
Authors: Gutiérrez Martínez Rodrigo , Díaz-Levicoy Danilo , Salcedo Audy
Published: March 2024

Esta investigación tiene el objetivo de evaluar la capacidad para construir el gráfico de caja que poseen los futuros profesores de Enseñanza Básica con mención en matemática. Para cumplir este propósito se sigue una metodología cualitativa, sustentado en el paradigma interpretativo, mediante un diseño de estudio de casos y el método del análisis de contenido. El estudio se llevó a cabo en un grupo de 18 estudiantes de pedagogía de una universidad chilena, a los que se les aplicó un instrumento, previamente validado, con ítems relacionados con la construcción de este gráfico. Los resultados indican que los participantes tienen dificultades en la construcción del gráfico, principalmente al omitir elementos descriptivos y calcular de forma errónea los cuartiles. Estos futuros profesores podrían no ser capaces de cumplir con los estándares de formación de profesores de matemáticas en Chile, lo que aporta evidencia sobre la necesidad de mejorar la formación docente en temas relacionados con gráficos estadísticos.

La docencia en los programas de Nutrición y Dietética (NyD), especialmente en cursos disciplinares, es realizada por profesionales Nutricionistas, que no necesariamente cuentan con formación/capacitación en docencia. El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar en aspectos sociodemográficos, laborales, académicos y de capacitación e inducción docente a los/as Nutricionistas que ejercen un rol docente en programas nacionales. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal que recabó información mediante la aplicación de una encuesta online a docentes de diferentes programas de NyD que forman parte del Consejo de Rectores de Universidades Chilenas (CRUCH). Se obtuvieron 74 respuestas completas donde se observó que el profesorado está compuesto mayormente por mujeres, menores de 40 años, con grado de magíster, que trabajan a contrata, jornada completa, dedicando el mayor tiempo a docencia y gestión administrativa. Respecto de la inducción y capacitación en la labor docente sólo un 33.8% manifiesta haberla tenido mientras que 64.9% cuenta con diplomados en esta área. Las características laborales son heterogéneas en el profesorado, preocupando el bajo nivel de inducción a la docencia y la ausencia de capacitación y/o perfeccionamientos mínimos para ejercer este rol que exige cada vez mayor preparación para enfrentar los desafíos actuales.
Háblame de innovación... con innovación

Published: March 2024

En la asignatura de Gestión de la Innovación de la Universidad Autónoma de Occidente (Cali, Colombia) se utiliza el podcast como recurso educativo para conocer y dar a conocer casos exitosos de emprendimiento en Latinoamérica. Lo novedoso radica en que lo diseñan y lo producen estudiantes de diferentes programas de Ingeniería, una disciplina que trabaja en la innovación de los proyectos, pero que se estudia mayormente con metodologías tradicionales. La actividad de aprendizaje se aplica en una población de 44 estudiantes distribuidos en 2 grupos de clase, con una guía de trabajo que invita a desarrollar el tema con la rigurosidad de Ingeniería para documentar la información (fondo), y al mismo tiempo anima a explotar la originalidad de los estudiantes con la ambientación del audio (forma). Los resultados de la experiencia en el aula son sobresalientes en las calificaciones de la rúbrica de calificación, y positivos en las expresiones de los estudiantes narradores y estudiantes oyentes de este medio digital.

Changes in Ukraine’s foreign trade as a reflection of its progress in integration with the European Union
Authors: Wziątek-Kubiak Anna , Adamiv Marta
Published: March 2024

The study aims to assess changes in the ability of Ukrainian goods to compete in the EU market. It reflects Ukraine’s progress towards EU integration in the run-up to Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Using foreign trade measures, including international specialisation, we show the specifics of Ukraine’s integration into the EU. By estimating the level and changes in the market shares of Ukraine’s commodity groups in the EU market, we show its progress in penetrating this market compared to non-EU countries. On the one hand, the geographical structure of Ukraine’s foreign trade changed radically between 2010 and 2021. On the other hand, more minor changes in the commodity structure of exports and Ukraine’s international specialisation were accompanied byan increased market share of Ukraine’s exports in the EU market. It reflected an improvement in the ability of Ukrainian goods to compete, thus fulfilling one of Ukraine’s accession criteria. Calculated on the basis of market shares, the increase in the ability of Ukrainian goods to compete is confirmed by estimates of export competitiveness indicators: the Balassa index of revealedcomparative advantages and the Lafay index. Levels and changes in the three indicators varied between commodity groups. The increase in the market shares of three commodity groups (raw materials, so-called “other manufactured goods” (medium and low technology) and food products) was accompanied by significant and increasing levels of export competitiveness indicators. The decline in the market shares of other commodity groups was accompanied by low and declining levels of export specialisation indicators. Thus, Ukraine’s integration into the EU has so far been based on the expansion of competitive and competitive-enhancing goods, in the production of which Ukraine specialises.
