DIPLOMATIC REVIEW OF CALLING VISA IMMIGRATION POLICY AGAINST ISRAEL AND FREE VISA VISIT TO TAIWAN STUDY IN THE DIALECTICS OF REALISM
Authors: Anggraini Deva Ghita , Yusuf Muhammad Choirul , Gibran Atsil Syah , Riyadi Sarina
Published: October 2024

Dalam ruang lingkup kebijakan politik luar negeri, Indonesia menganut pada asas bebas aktif dalam hal berdiplomasi. Dengan demikian, dasar kebijakan diplomatik yang diberlakukan oleh Pemerintah Indonesia tidak diintervensi oleh unsur manapun. Pemberlakuan dan perumusan suatu kebijakan luar negeri tidak dideterminasi oleh adanya kepentingan nasional yang mangakar. Dalam hal ihwal perlintasan keluar dan masuknya orang ke dalam wilayah Indonesia, terdapat suatu kebijakan keimigrasian yang berhubungan dengan asas bebas aktif Indoneisa berupa Kebijakan calling Visa terhadap Negara Israel dan pemberlakuan Bebas Visa Kunjungan terhadap Negara Taiwan. Berdasarkan latar belakang politisnya, Pemerintah Indonesia tidak mendukung kedua negara tersebut dalam ranah hubungan diplomatik, dikarenakan Indonesia menaruh keberpihakan kepada Palestina atas dasar perjuangan religi dan menaruh keberpihakan kepada Tiongkok atas dasar kesepahaman gagasan “One China”. Berdasarkan perspektif realisme yang melibatkan unsur kebijakan asing dan arah politik negara, Pemerintah Indonesia melalui instansi imigrasi mengedepankan aspek Selective policy yang menimbang adanya unsur kebermanfaatan secara ekonomi dan politis dalam pemberlakuan kebijakan calling visa dan Bebas Visa Kunjungan terhadap dua negara yang bersangkutan.
WITHOUT BORDERS: AN EXEGESIS OF HUMAN RIGHTS OF IMMIGRANT EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA
Authors: Nnawulezi Uche
Published: October 2024

The principal aim of this paper is to test how States implement international human rights law (IHRL) with respect to the security and welfare of immigrant employees in their country of residence. The paper explicates relevant IHRL shortcomings and contrasts them with rules applicable in situations of human rights abused of immigrant employees. This paper resolves three core questions that are specifically important to immigrant employees as follows: (1) who are considered immigrant employees under each law? Addressing this question permits the testing of whether States understands the status of immigrant employees under International Human Rights Treaty Laws, (2) How is the legal status of immigrant employees managed? (3) Are immigrant employees provided with adequate safeguard along with corresponding security in their place of residence? The outcome of this inquiry revealed that States seldomly apply  IHRL understanding of the status of immigrant employees in discussing some of the notable short-comings that contributes to the challenges faced by immigrant employees in their place of residence. Driven fundamentally by efforts to eradicate harmful practices and human rights abuses on immigrant employees, yet immigrant employees are exposed to all manner of employment-related abuses and discrimination in their respective work place. Nonetheless, the paper analyzed cases of discriminatory practices against immigrant employees  in  UK along with Saudi Arabia. The paper explores what explicit legal and regulatory constraints impedes immigrant rights at his workplace. Moreover, it considers proper measures for managing and overcoming such impediments. The paper adopts analytical approach in its argument through a review of literatures, treaties and conventions. The paper concludes that the right of immigrant employees is universal, inalienable, indivisible and interdependent, regardless of where they are and of their status.

THE URGENCY OF THE WORK HOLIDAY VISA PROGRAM IN FULFILLING IMMIGRATION FUNCTIONS BASED ON LIBERALISM THEORY PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Subiyanto Francisco David , Karunia Ferdyan Samuel , Qolby Ajeep Akbar
Published: October 2024

Program Work Holiday Visa (WHV) adalah program yang memungkinkan pemuda dari satu negara untuk tinggal dan bekerja sementara di negara lain dengan tujuan untuk belajar, mengenal budaya, dan berkontribusi secara ekonomi. Dalam konteks fungsi keimigrasian, WHV memiliki urgensi yang perlu dianalisis berdasarkan perspektif teori liberalisme. Analisis ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi urgensi program WHV dalam memenuhi fungsi keimigrasian berdasarkan perspektif teori liberalisme. Pertama, ditekankan pentingnya perspektif liberalisme dalam konteks globalisasi dan integrasi antarnegara. Teori liberalisme menekankan pentingnya kebebasan individu, pertukaran ekonomi, dan penghapusan hambatan yang menghalangi pergerakan orang dan modal antarnegara. Kedua, dianalisis urgensi program WHV sebagai instrumen kebijakan yang mempromosikan pertukaran budaya, peningkatan pemahaman antarnegara, dan kerja sama ekonomi. Program WHV memungkinkan pemuda untuk mengalami kehidupan di negara lain, meningkatkan toleransi, memperluas jaringan internasional, dan membangun hubungan bilateral yang erat. Selanjutnya, perhatian diberikan pada dampak ekonomi dari program WHV. Dengan memberikan kesempatan kerja sementara kepada pemuda asing, program ini dapat memberikan kontribusi positif terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi baik bagi negara asal maupun negara tujuan. Pemuda asing dapat memperkaya tenaga kerja, mengisi kekurangan keterampilan, dan mendukung sektor-sektor ekonomi yang membutuhkan. Selain itu, dianalisis juga implikasi program WHV dalam konteks pengendalian imigrasi. Dalam perspektif liberalisme, program ini mencerminkan pendekatan selektif yang memprioritaskan individu yang bermanfaat dan berkontribusi bagi negara tujuan. Meskipun program WHV dapat memberikan keuntungan, penting untuk memperhatikan risiko penyalahgunaan, misalnya penyalahgunaan tenaga kerja asing atau masalah keamanan terkait dengan perjalanan antarnegara. Dalam analisis ini, dilakukan evaluasi urgensi program WHV berdasarkan perspektif teori liberalisme. Hasil analisis ini diharapkan dapat memberikan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang urgensi program WHV dalam konteks fungsi keimigrasian, termasuk aspek budaya, ekonomi, dan pengendalian imigrasi. Rekomendasi yang dihasilkan dapat digunakan untuk menyempurnakan dan mengoptimalkan program WHV dalam mendukung hubungan internasional dan kepentingan nasional berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip liberalisme.

Dosimetric Accuracy of Target Motion Effects in Spot-Scanning Proton Therapy: A Phantom Study
Authors: Belikhin M. A. , Shemyakov A. E. , Chernyaev A. P.
Published: October 2024

Purpose: To evaluate intrafractional motion effects as a function of peak-to-peak motion and period during single-field, single-fraction and single-field, multifraction irradiation of the moving target in spot-scanning proton therapy.
Materials and methods: An in-house dynamic phantom was used to simulate peak-to-peak motion of 5, 10, and 20 mm with periods of 2, 4, and 8 seconds. The dose distribution in the moving target was measured using radiochromic films. During the perpendicular motion, the film was fixed and moved perpendicular to the beam direction without changing the water equivalent thickness (WET). During longitudinal motion, the film was fixed and moved along the beam direction, causing a change in WET. Gamma index analysis was used with criteria of 3 %/3 mm and 3 %/2 mm to analyze the dose distributions.
Results: For single-fraction irradiation, varying the period did not result in a significant difference in any of the metrics used (p>0.05), except for the local dose within the planning target volume (p<0.001). In contrast, varying peak-to-peak motion was significant (p<0.001) for all metrics except for the mean planning target volume dose (p~0.88) and the local dose (p~0.47). The perpendicular motion caused a greater decrease in gamma passing rate (3 %/3 mm) than WET variations (65±5 % vs 85±4 %) at 20 mm peak-to-peak motion.
Conclusion: The implementation of multifraction irradiation allowed to reduce hot and cold spots but did not reduce dose blurring. The motion threshold varied from 7 to 11 mm and depended on the number of fractions, the type of motion, the acceptance criteria, and the calculation method used.

Authors: Agus Santoso Rachmat
Published: October 2024

In an increasingly complex era of globalization, the role of audit in supporting Good Corporate Governance (GCG) has become a central focus in the accounting and finance literature. The background of this research is based on the need to comprehensively understand the dynamics and developments in research related to audit and GCG, with the aim of identifying key themes, influential authors, and gaps in the existing literature. This study utilizes data from Scopus, covering 109 documents published between 1994 and 2022. Using a bibliometric approach, the study analyzes publication trends, citation rates, international collaborations, and the main themes emerging in the study of audit and GCG. The results indicate that themes such as corporate governance, earnings management, audit quality, and financial performance dominate the literature, with major contributions coming from countries like Indonesia, China, and the United Kingdom. Additionally, the study finds a decline in the relevance of certain themes, such as firm performance, highlighting the need for further research. The novelty of this research lies in identifying gaps and new research opportunities in underexplored niche themes, as well as revealing patterns of international collaboration that could enrich the literature in the future.

Published: October 2024

This study investigated the frequency, risk factors, and metabolic indicators for detecting subclinical ketosis (SCK) in Ouled Djellal ewes. Out of 54 enrolled ewes, those with BHB ≥ 0.86 mmol·L-1 without clinical signs formed the SCK group, while ewes with BHB < 0.86 mmol·L-1 were healthy controls, either in late pregnancy or early lactation. The SCK frequency was higher in early lactation (37%). Increased risk was associated with twin–bearing (OR=4.96, 95%CI=1.967–12.503, P=0.001) and thin ewes with BCS < 2.5 (OR=2.74, 95%CI=0.71–10.73, P=0.003). SCK ewes had significantly lower glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, Ca, Mg, Na, and K levels, but higher AST, ALT, GGT, ALP, LDH, and CK levels. The best diagnostic indicators were Ca (AUC 94.4%, cut–off < 81 g·L-1, SE 77.46%, SP 100%), AST (AUC 84.4%, cut–off > 94.19 U·L-1, SE 74.65%, SP 83.78%), and K (AUC 79.3%, cut–off 4.1 mmol·L-1, SE 71.83%, SP 75.68%). Monitoring BHB and BCS, especially in twin–bearing ewes during the transition period, is recommended for ketosis prevention. Further large–scale validation of these metabolic indicators as SCK predictors in Ouled Djellal ewes is warranted.

WPR po 2013 roku – ocena i propozycje modyfikacji
Authors: Zagórski Marek
Published: October 2024

W październiku 2011 roku Komisja Europejska przedstawiła pakiet legislacyjny, który, po ewentualnym przyjęciu przez Parlament Europejski i Radę, wprowadzi w życie nowe zasady wspólnej polityki rolnej, począwszy od 1 stycznia 2014 roku. W założeniach pakiet ten miał odpowiadać na główne cele i wyzwania, stojące przed WPR. Zdaniem Komisji Europejskiej jej propozycje to także znaczący krok w kierunku uproszczenia, większej elastyczności i skuteczności WPR. W niniejszym opracowaniu podjęto próbę oceny zaproponowanej przez Komisję reformy oraz jej konsekwencji dla polskiego i europejskiego rolnictwa. Wielu nowym rozwiązaniom, takim jak: „nowy” system płatności podstawowych, włączenie „greeningu” jako obowiązkowego elementu płatności bezpośrednich czy uproszczony schemat wsparcia dla małych gospodarstw, towarzyszy praktycznie niezmieniony sposób podziału ośrodków między państwa członkowskie, utrzymujący rażące dysproporcje w wysokości średnich stawek płatności bezpośrednich. Dlatego też w dalszej części opracowania wskazuje się na możliwe kierunki modyfikacji propozycji Komisji w stronę bardziej sprawiedliwej WPR.
Bezrobocie determinantą przestrzennego zróżnicowania płodności według miejsca zamieszkania w Polsce w latach 1999–2009
Authors: Podogrodzka Małgorzata
Published: October 2024

W artykule przedstawiono analizę zróżnicowania płodności według województw, która ma na celu wyodrębnienie regionów podobnych ze względu na omawiane zjawisko. Płodność została tu opisana przez współczynnik dzietności i wzorzec płodności. Wśród wielu determinant wpływających na przestrzenną odmienność zachowań prokreacyjnych wymienia się m.in. sytuację na rynku pracy, a zwłaszcza jej negatywne strony. Wykorzystując liniowy model regresji wielorakiej, oceniono regionalne współwystępowanie tych procesów oraz określono te charakterystyki bezrobocia, które istotnie przyczyniają się do wojewódzkiego zróżnicowania płodności.
Unijne i krajowe instrumenty prawne w zakresie ochrony przeciwpowodziowej obszarów wiejskich
Authors: Konieczna Jadwiga , Trystuła Agnieszka
Published: October 2024

W wielu krajach europejskich, w tym również w Polsce, w ostatnich latach zauważa się występujące coraz częściej ekstremalne zjawiska hydrologiczne, jak susze i powodzie. Od lat poszukuje się skutecznych zabezpieczeń, które ograniczałyby zarówno ich występowanie, jak i tragiczne skutki, jakie ze sobą niosą. Jednym z takich rozwiązań jest umiejętnie prowadzona polityka wodna Unii Europejskiej, którą tworzy szereg aktów prawnych związanych z tymi zagrożeniami. W niniejszym artykule zajęto się tym drugim zjawiskiem – powodziami. Celem jest przegląd wybranych unijnych i krajowych instrumentów prawnych w zakresie ochrony przeciwpowodziowej obszarów wiejskich, jakie obowiązują w naszym kraju. Wdrożenie przepisów unijnych wymaga od krajów członkowskich nowelizacji wielu obecnie obowiązujących przepisów dotyczących ochrony przed powodzią, ale także przyjęcia nowych unormowań prawnych, usprawniających zarządzanie ryzykiem powodziowym.

Uwarunkowania trwałego rozdysponowania nieruchomości Zasobu Własności Rolnej Skarbu Państwa
Authors: Podgórski Bogdan , Świętochowski Leszek
Published: October 2024

W artykule podjęto próbę przedstawienia dotychczasowych działań ANR w zakresie realizacji zadań ustawowych, w tym problematyki trwałego rozdysponowania nieruchomości. Od początku swej działalności Agencja trwale rozdysponowała 2,9 mln ha, w tym 2,2 mln ha poprzez sprzedaż, która jest dominującą formą rozdysponowania gruntów. Tego typu postępowaniu podlega również infrastruktura przejęta wraz z majątkiem PGR-ów, w tym mieszkania byłych pracowników PGR-ów. Pozostające 1,9 mln ha podlega dalszym procesom prywatyzacji. Dzierżawa gruntów zmniejsza się co roku o ponad 100 tys. ha w wyniku rozwiązywania umów dzierżawy i wyłączania z nich części gruntów. Analizę przeprowadzono na podstawie danych pochodzących głównie z raportów z działalności ANR, opracowań wewnętrznych i dostępnej literatury przedmiotu. Zaprezentowane wyniki świadczą o dużym zaangażowaniu Agencji w procesy prywatyzacji oraz o wielu złożonych procesach, które towarzyszą trwałemu rozdysponowaniu nieruchomości.

Heterobranchia (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from northern Norway, with notes on ecology and distribution
Authors: Evertsen Jussi , Bakken Torkild
Published: October 2024

During a diving expedition through northern Norway, a total of 25 heterobranchiate taxa were collected, and additional data on distribution and ecology were given. Cumanotus beaumonti and Flabellina borealis are recorded for the first time since Odhner (1907), (1922) on the Norwegian coast, and the distribution of eight heterobranch taxa were re-evaluated. By using SCUBA diving as a sampling method, it is proved that the diversity and distribution of heterobranchs is poorly known in northern Norwegian waters, as the results show that large quantities of specimens, as well as a significant number of taxa, are found at each locality. The significance of diving for studying heterobranchs is emphasized. Apart from new records of heterobranchs and enhanced knowledge of biodiversity and biogeography of this group in northern Norway, this paper presents previous published literature where heterobranch taxa are mentioned for northern Norway.

The Leopoldine Society, William Unterthiner, and the Tyrolean Friars in the United States
Authors: McCloskey Pat
Published: October 2024

At the invitation of Bishop John Baptist Purcell, Wilhelm Unterthiner, a Tyrolean Franciscan priest, came to Cincinnati in 1844 to minister to German-speaking Catholics. For eighteen months he worked with Francis Louis Huber, a Bavarian Franciscan priest, at Holy Trinity Parish in Cincinnati, aided financially by the recently established Leopoldine Society. Significant international tensions arose; they both had to deal with major opposition from the growing Nativist movement, fueled in part by émigrés from the failed revolutions of 1848. This article is based on letters exchanged between Unterthiner and Franciscan superiors in Tyrol. After Unterthiner successfully recruited more friars from Tyrol, a new form of Franciscan life emerged under changed circumstances. The issues of inculturation and becoming a world church will be addressed in this article.
The Mi’kmaq Hieroglyphs in Vienna: Christian Kauder and the Leopoldine Society
Authors: Krieger Carlo
Published: October 2024

This article documents the specific activities by Christian Kauder in the context of Catholic mission work and their direct influence on the daily life, culture, and religion of the Mi’kmaq. These activities were the mechanism of forced culture change and took place long after the arrival of the first Europeans. Kauder’s writings give us a small but excellent glimpse of what he wanted to do and how he set about it, while describing some elements of Mi’kmaq culture he encountered. This article tries to shed light on how Kauder, who, having left his order, and living in a missionary outpost in Nova Scotia, was able to garner the necessary support for this monumental and unique task, the printing in Vienna, Austria, of a religious instruction manual in “hieroglyphics” destined for missionary work among the Mi’kmaq.

Prevention of central line-associated bloodstream infection via quality improvement
Authors: Alshammari Fawaz Awdah Mohammad
Published: October 2024

Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is defined as a laboratory-confirmed bloodstream infection not related to an infection at another site when a central line was in place for more than two calendar days. The most common mechanism of CLABSI is bacterial entry into the bloodstream via the part of the central line that extends outside the patient’s body. Patients with most types of bacteria can develop a CLABSI, so it is essential to target each to improve care and intervention. Improvement strategies such as quality improvement initiatives have the potential to lower the prevalence of CLABSI in patients who need central venous catheters to receive proper care.

Moringa oleifera es una planta tropical cuyo follaje es reconocido como valioso suplemento animal, su cultivo y aprovechamiento crece en las regiones ganaderas de Venezuela, entre ellas, las extensas sabanas del estado Monagas. Con el objetivo de evaluar la producción de biomasa de Moringa, cosechada a cinco edades de corte, en bancos proteicos de las localidades Juanico Sur y San Agustín de La Pica, municipio Maturín, Monagas, Venezuela, se condujeron experimentos bajo el diseño de bloques al azar, en ambas localidades, con cinco edades de corte correspondientes a 30, 45, 60, 75 y 90 días y tres repeticiones por tratamiento. Las variables cuantificadas fueron rendimiento en biomasa fresca y seca -total, hoja y tallo- (kg planta-1), y a partir de estas, se estimó la capacidad de sustentación del cultivo (número de animales ha-1) en cada localidad. Se aplicó comparación por prueba Mann Whitney (Localidades) y por procedimiento ANDEVA (Edades de corte). La producción de biomasa fue estadísticamente diferente entre localidades, siendo Juanico Sur superior, mientras que, entre las edades de corte por localidad no se encontraron diferencias significativas. La biomasa foliar por hectárea en Juanico Sur tendría capacidad de sustentar 20 % de la ración durante 45 días de forma individual a 14 vacas de alta producción; 38 ovinos semiestabulados; 23 cerdos de engorde; 282 conejos o 1 000 gallinas ponedoras; mientras que en San Agustín de La Pica tendría capacidad para soportar aproximadamente solo el 15 % de esa carga animal. Las condiciones edafoclimáticas de San Agustín de La Pica resultaron restrictivas para la producción de biomasa del cultivo de moringa.

La caída del presidente salvadoreño Arturo Araujo (1931)
Authors: Valdés Valle Roberto
Published: October 2024

Existe consenso entre los historiadores en que el golpe de Estado en contra del presidente salvadoreño Arturo Araujo, en diciembre de 1931, fue uno de los acontecimientos más relevantes de la historia política salvadoreña en el siglo XX; sin embargo, no lo hay sobre las causas del golpe. En el artículo no se realiza un análisis detallado de las diferentes hipótesis que se han ofrecido sobre este acontecimiento, sino agregar nuevos elementos a la discusión. Para ello, se realizó una breve investigación sobre la manera en que algunos periódicos costarricenses de la época (La Tribuna, Crítica y Diario de Costa Rica) analizaron la caída de Araujo. Los resultados obtenidos parecen contradecir algunas hipótesis consolidadas entre los historiadores y sugiere necesario realizar un estudio más detallado sobre el manejo de la deuda pública (interna y externa) del Estado salvadoreño como posible causa del golpe de Estado en contra de Araujo.

Published: October 2024

En este texto se presentan los resultados de la identificación del nivel de competencias digitales de los docentes de Universidad del Valle, a fin de mejorar la calidad de las intervenciones didácticas a través del EVA institucional en el bienio 2019 – 2020. Dentro de un modelo eminentemente cualitativo, la metodología empleada es investigación acción; a través de la aplicación de cuestionarios, la realización de entrevistas semiestructuradas y grupos focales, entre otros, se ha hecho un acercamiento al nivel de apropiación y uso de cinco áreas de competenciales digitales en este colectivo: información, comunicación, diseño de contenidos y su calidad, seguridad y resolución de problemas. Del análisis de los resultados obtenidos se destaca la mejora en las competencias digitales docentes del colectivo de la universidad. La conclusión a la que se llega es que se da como validado el supuesto teórico la investigación, ya que existe una relación significativa entre la implementación de un plan de formación docente en competencias digitales y la mejora de la calidad de las intervenciones didácticas.
Reseña de libro

Sven Hroar Klempe, profesor de la Norwegian University of Science and Technology, presenta una monografía donde cuestiona y revisa –de forma histórica– el concepto de psicología en cuatro obras de Soren Kierkegaard: Repetición (1843), El Concepto de la Angustia (1844), Etapas en el Camino de la Vida (1845), y La Enfermedad Mortal (1849). En su libro, “Kierkegaard and the Rise of Modern Psychology”, Klempe (2014) plantea que el término psicología no era categorial, sino una pregunta abierta e irónica; una definición interpretativa en honor a la subjetividad propia e inherente a dicha ciencia. Consiguientemente, resulta imprescindible para todo psicólogo, y/o estudiante de psicología, conocer algunas raíces fundamentales de su labor. Un texto que cuenta con un prólogo escrito por Jaan Valsiner, profesor experto en estudios de psicología cultural en el departamento de comunicación y psicología de la Universidad de Aalborg, Dinamarca.

Exploring A Model: The 4 Architectures of Trauma to The Brain/Mind
Authors: LJ Reynolds
Published: October 2024

Eight years ago, I was asked to evaluate a National Hockey Player for a traumatic brain injury. You can read about the details in this case in my book “The Complex Architecture and Healing of Traumatic Brain Injuries: Listening to The Brain.” (Chapter One). This was the beginning for me of working to understand trauma to the brain/mind and how to heal this trauma (both organic and psychological). I use the phrase brain/mind/body to indicate that they are inseparable. And the connection is: the human mind is the subject experience of the brain. What I take from this connection is that the brain matters a whole lot in our day to day lives. Yet it is mostly ignored in our day-to-day lives. And that the human brain/mind is really very fragile. In my experience, all trauma to the head (blows, strokes, epileptic seizures, infections, major mental illness, and illnesses and diseases of the brain) disrupts brain/mind functioning, and eventually leads to a breakdown in brain/mind functioning. To support this conclusion, I developed a model of the neurodegenerative progression of trauma to the brain/mind. Originally, I was working with TBI and professional athletes. But I soon discovered that there were many traumatic brain injuries incurred by professional athletes in all sports that never made the headlines and were never treated. Professional athletes who are injured (and brain injuries are very, very subtle) are no good to the team, and cost money (especially head injuries). So, the athletes suck it up and move on as best they can. Are there consequences down the road? Yes, and very serious ones! Let’s look at a case and then see if the model can help us understand and treat these types of complicated cases.
Objetos digitais de aprendizagem como potencial para o ensino e aprendizagem da língua estrangeira moderna na zona rural
Authors: Alves Mônica Mendes Pereira , Ferreira Ercila Regina da Silva
Published: October 2024

No cenário educacional atual, marcado por mudanças sociais e tecnológicas, os Objetos Digitais de Aprendizagem (ODAs) apresentam-se como ferramentas promissoras para o ensino de Línguas Estrangeiras Modernas (LEMs) em áreas rurais. O presente artigo, baseado em dois estudos de caso, explora o potencial dos ODAs para superar barreiras geográficas e sociais, contextualizar o aprendizado e promover a autonomia dos alunos. Os ODAs se configuram como recursos inovadores que transcendem os limites do ensino tradicional, oferecendo uma experiência de aprendizagem mais engajadora, interativa e personalizada. Através de ferramentas digitais autônomas, reutilizáveis e interativas, os alunos podem assumir um papel ativo na construção do seu conhecimento de uma língua estrangeira moderna, podendo explorar conteúdos relevantes dentro da sua realidade e podendo assim, desenvolver habilidades linguísticas, interculturais e de cidadania. A análise de duas escolas em diferentes contextos rurais revela o impacto transformador dos ODAs. Na escola japonesa, o uso adequado dos recursos, aliado ao engajamento da comunidade e à valorização da cultura local, resultou em uma experiência educacional inspiradora. Já na escola do Gama, os desafios do ensino precário, com baixa conexão à realidade dos alunos, evidenciam a necessidade de infraestrutura adequada e práticas pedagógicas contextualizadas para o sucesso do ensino de LEMs. Os ODAs representam um passo crucial para a construção de uma educação mais equitativa e eficaz nas áreas rurais. Ao promover a inclusão digital, a autonomia dos alunos e a contextualização do aprendizado, esses recursos transformaram a educação tradicional, tornando-a mais dinâmica, acessível e inspiradora. Através dos ODAs, os alunos do campo são capacitados para o futuro, com as ferramentas e a motivação necessárias para alcançar seu pleno potencial e construir um futuro promissor.
Estimation of general and specific combining ability and heterosis to identify suitable parents in Oak Tasar silkworm breeds
Authors: Singh N. , Singh L. , Singh K.
Published: October 2024

Two species of oak tasar silkworm, namely Antheraea proylei Jolly and Antheraea pernyi Guerin- Menevelle and eight synthesized breeds named PRP₂, PRP₃, PRP₅, PRP₁₂, RPP₄, Blue, B₆ and BY₁ were used in full 12 diallel cross mating system and 90 F₁ hybrids were generated. Combining ability analysis was carried out for eight important economic characters, viz., fecundity, hatching, survivability (effective rate of rearing, ERR %), cocoon yield (number of cocoons per disease free laying, dfl), cocoon weight, shell weight, shell ratio, and filament length following full diallel cross analysis given by Griffing (1956a and b). The variances due to general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) showed the importance of both additive and non-additive gene effects in the inheritance of the eight characters studied. The values of the ratio of the non-additive genetic variance to additive variance showed that non- additive gene action played great role in the inheritance of the traits-hatching. cocoon yield, survivability (ERR), cocoon weight, shell weight, shell ratio and filament length. Significant reciprocal variances revealed in seven parameters viz., fecundity, hatching percentage, cocoon yield per dfl, ERR, cocoon weight, shell ratio and filament length indicated the maternal effects in these traits. The breed viz. BY₁ exhibited significant GCA effects in majority of the characters followed by B6 and PRP₁₂ which indicates that that these breeds are good combiners. The analysis of SCA effects and reciprocal effects in 90 crosses revealed that none of the hybrids was consistently good in all the eight characters studied. Only two crosses showed significant SCA effects in four characters and two crosses showed significant SCA effects in three characters while a few hybrids showed significant effects in one or two characters only. Among the indirect crosses, only one cross showed significant reciprocal effects in four characters and four crosses showed significant reciprocal effects in three characters while a few hybrids showed significant effects in one or two characters only. The three hybrids namely PRP₁₂ X Blue, BY₁ X PRP₅ and B₆ X PRP₁₂ which showed significant SCA effects and heterobeltiosis in most of the desired characters may be recommended for further field trial rearing for commercial exploitation.
