Authors: Mallén-Lacambra Carlos , Pic Miguel , Lavega-Burgués Pere , Ben-Chaabâne Zhaira
Published: September 2024

Non-competitive cooperative motor games hold the potential to educate gender equity from a relational perspective. These motor games present educational relational challenges where different genders interact for mutual benefit. Such interactions generate emotional well-being, enhance socio-affective relationships, and promote feminized motor conducts that potentially perform gender hegemonies and reduce gender stereotypes. This study, grounded in the ethics of care and motor praxeology, explored the effects of non-competitive cooperative motor games on group and cross-gender socio-affective rejections, gender stereotypes and emotional well-being, along with the mediation effects of these interconnected variables. Researchers conducted a quasi-experimental study where 11 participants (Mage = 11.16; SD = 1.35) from a summer sports camp played non-competitive cooperative motor games. The study employed sociometric questionnaires, emotional questionnaires (PANAS-C) and gender stereotype questionnaires (NATGEN). Data were analyzed using inferential and descriptive statistical techniques, social network analysis and mediation analysis. Results revealed the effectiveness of non-competitive cooperative motor games in reducing cross-gender rejections among girls, maintaining low group rejections, promoting emotional well-being and reducing gender stereotypes. Mediation analysis showed that gender stereotypes and positive emotions act as a protective barrier against group rejection. This study presents an innovative educational perspective that combines the scientific foundations of motor praxeology with the theoretical bases of the ethics of care. The research provides teachers and researchers with a practical pedagogical tool based on non-competitive cooperative motor games. These games are designed to enhance gender equity, promote emotional well-being, and reduce gender-based rejection and stereotypes.

Objectives: To compare the match running performance of male soccer players in the Brazilian A series before and after being infected with COVID-19. Methods: The sample consisted of 20 professional soccer players from Rio de Janeiro-based teams during the 2020 and 2021 seasons, pre- and post-COVID-19 infection. Match running performance data were collected using a Global positioning system (GPS), and the analysis includes average data across 1 to 17 games pre-infection and 1 to 13 games post-infection per player. Results: COVID-19-infection induced an unclear effect on the total distance traveled during the match [SWC-Factor = -1.9, 90 % CL (-4.7; 0.9)], the number of sprints at speeds over 24 km/h [SWC-Factor = 1.1, 90 % CL (-1.7; 3.9)], maximum speed reached [SWC-Factor = 0.1, 90 % CL (-2.6; 2.9)], the number of decelerations [SWC-Factor = -2.2, 90 % CL (-5.0; 0.6) ], explosive efforts [SWC-Factor = -2.4, 90 % CL (-5.1; 0.4) ], distance traveled at speeds between 0 and 7 km/h [SWC-Factor = 2.4, 90 % CL (-0.4; 5.2) ], and distance traveled at speeds between 7 and 14 km/h [SWC-Factor = -1.8, 90 % CL (-4.5; 1.0) ]. However there was a moderate and significant decrease in distance covered during high-intensity running, defined as speeds greater than 20 km/h [SWC-Factor = -4.2, 90 % CL (-7.0; -1.5) ], the number of accelerations greater than 3 m/s² [SWC-Factor = -3.6, 90 % CL (-6.4; -0.9) ], and distance traveled at speeds between 14 and 20 km/h [SWC-Factor = -3.5, 90 % CL (-6.2; -0.7) ]. The results also showed that COVID-19-infection led to a substantial decrease in minutes played during matches [SWC-Factor = -4.0, 90 % CL (-6.8; -1.3)], affecting the analysis of match variables' absolute values. Conclusion: The results suggest that players infected with COVID-19 experienced changes in match running performance, notably decreases in distance covered during high-intensity running and increases traveled at speeds between 0 and 7 km/h. Further analysis of other player populations (in other leagues) is necessary to verify these findings.

Published: September 2024

This study aimed to examine the impact of intentionally structured psychosocial programs through folk games and traditional sports on elementary school students. Psychosocial factors influence individual thoughts and behaviors, and traditional games and sports are known for their character-building and cultural values. The research used a pretest-posttest group design with a quantitative approach, focusing on 5th-grade students from Sumur Batu 06 Public Elementary School in Central Jakarta. The primary instrument was the Questionnaire on Psychosocial Adjustment Needs of Grade 7 Students, covering social cognitive, socio-emotional, social, teacher-student, peer, parent, and sibling relationships. The study followed Kendellen's model, which emphasizes focusing on one psychosocial component per lesson, introducing it at the lesson's beginning, teaching it throughout the lesson, and reviewing it at the end. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 22, including only students with at least 80% attendance who completed both pre-tests and post-tests. Normality tests confirmed that data from both integrated and non-integrated groups were normally distributed, while homogeneity tests showed that the samples were from a homogeneous population. Paired sample t-tests revealed significant improvements in psychosocial outcomes for both groups, with the integrated group showing a t-value of 7.453 (Sig. 0.000) and the non-integrated group a t-value of 5.121 (Sig. 0.000). These results indicate a significant positive effect of psychosocially integrated traditional games and sports on the psychosocial development of elementary school students.

Character education is not easy to do in the world of education. Need a good synergy between a series of ongoing learning. Especially with sports specifically taking a role in character education efforts. To achieve physical education by using sports, one part of sports is martial arts. This research departs from the idea that martial arts training provides an opportunity to teach character with the value of traditions and activities contained therein. With different activities and customs from several martial arts and lasting for a long time will form habits (including character values) to behave as designed. The research was conducted using literature review. Data base searching used by Scopus and then analysed with PRISMA Steps. The search was conducted in Scopus using the keywords "value AND education AND in AND martial AND arts", "discipline AND education AND in AND martial AND arts and "the AND value AND of AND discipline AND in AND martial AND arts". After reviewing based on PRISMA steps, 17 relevant articles were obtained. Based on the analysis conducted, there are character values in martial arts (Silat, Tae Kwon do, karate, Judo, Wushu, MMA, Wrestling). Both internalization processes occur through continuous habituation with cultural customs that are unique to each branch of martial arts. The cultivation of character values is also influenced by the quality of the trainers as well as the mastery of character, techniques, and tactics in the martial arts. It is important to note that character education through martial arts is very effective and must be well designed, including in routine activities, ceremonies, exercises, and levels. This process needs to be familiarized and guided by experts who understand cultural techniques and tactics.

Exploring the impact of impulsive urban sounds and noise on open sports training through real-time AI sound analysis
Authors: Altayeva Aigerim , Altayeva Aigerim
Published: September 2024

This study examines the impact of impulsive urban sounds and noise on athletes' performance during open sports training sessions. It specifically explores how various sports react to environmental noise disturbances. Impulsive urban sounds, defined as sudden, sharp noises that occur unpredictably in urban settings, were the focus of this study. Utilizing a sample of 160 sports students, divided into control and experimental groups, the study employed Independent Samples t-Tests and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). These tests were used to assess athletic performance variations between concentration-intensive sports (e.g., archery, golf) and non-concentration-intensive sports (e.g., football, basketball). The findings reveal that while impulsive urban noises do not uniformly affect overall athletic performance, athletes in concentration-intensive sports experience a significant decline in athletic performance metrics, indicating a heightened vulnerability to such disturbances. In contrast, athletes in non-concentration-intensive sports showed a negligible impact from similar noise conditions. These observations suggest a complex interaction between the specific demands of a sport and its noise sensitivity, challenging the traditional view that urban noise universally disrupts athletic activities. The study highlights the importance of considering a sport's cognitive demands when evaluating the effects of environmental factors on athletic performance. It recommends strategic planning in the design and timing of urban sports training to minimize the negative impacts of impulsive noise, especially for disciplines that require intense concentration and mental focus. Future research should investigate individual adaptive capacities and develop customized noise mitigation strategies for different sports contexts.

Published: September 2024

Nitrogen plays a vital role in plant metabolism, influencing growth and development, particularly in crops like maize (Zea mays L.). This study aimed to evaluate the morphological response of maize seedlings to different nitrogen levels. The design was a completely randomized factorial arrangement of 4 x 2, involving four maize cultivars and two nitrogen levels.The variety Sb 302 Berentsen and three native varieties originating from Tecamachalco, Puebla, Mexico were studied. For a period of 14, 21, 28 and 35 days, seedlings were grown in nutrient solution with 10 % and 100 % nitrogen levels under hydroponic conditions. The results revealed significant variability in seedling morphology, particularly in root architecture and dry weight, between the 10 % and 100 % nitrogen treatments. High coefficients of variation were observed in the lengths of crown and seminal roots, alongside significant correlations between root and seedling dry weights at both nitrogen levels. Additionally, a strong correlation was found between root length and number under the 10 % nitrogen treatment. The results highlight the critical role of nitrogen in maize seedling development and the interaction between nitrogen concentration and maize variety, particularly in primary root length. The study improves understanding of nitrogen's role in optimizing maize growth and suggests strategies to enhance nitrogen use efficiency across different maize varieties.
Keywords: cereals, nitrogen use efficiency, root architecture, native varieties.

Published: September 2024

The object of the study is one of the most common phraseological units of biblical origin in various types of modern English discourse – the Good Samaritan Bibleism. The subject of this study is the frequency of the phraseological unit chosen for analysis and its functional orientation. In order to determine the linguistic status of a stable and reproducible combination of words with a completely or partially reinterpreted meaning, the method of phraseological identification proposed by the founder of English phraseology A.V. Kunin was used. The following methods and techniques were used in the course of the study: a) non-paradigmatic methods and techniques of linguistics (descriptive method and its methods, contextual analysis); b) methods and techniques of text linguistics; c) methods of studying general and biblical phraseology. As a result of a quantitative syntactic analysis of contexts placed in national corpora, four most common functions of the considered biblical phraseology good Samaritan were identified, the percentage of which is represented in the following figures: a) the function of the subject ‒ 21%, b) the complement function ‒ 18%, c) the definition function ‒ 44%, and d) the function of the nominal part of the compound nominal predicate is 10%. The results of this work are supposed to be used in the construction of typological parallels of the functioning of biblical phraseological units.

Relationship between Livestock Vaccination Programs and Mortality Rates in India
Authors: Rajput Vikram
Published: September 2024

Purpose: To aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between livestock vaccination programs and mortality rates in India.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Vaccination programs for livestock in India significantly reduce mortality rates, particularly in cattle, sheep, and goats. Comprehensive vaccination decreases the incidence of infectious diseases, enhances herd immunity, and improves overall productivity. Regions with strong vaccination coverage see better livestock health and increased farmer livelihoods. Economic analyses show that the benefits of reduced mortality and increased productivity often outweigh the costs, highlighting the need for ongoing investment in veterinary health services and education to promote widespread vaccination.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Health belief model (HBM), theory of planned behavior (TPB) & diffusion of innovations theory may be used to anchor future studies on the relationship between livestock vaccination programs and mortality rates in India. Practically, there is a need to strengthen the infrastructure for vaccine distribution, especially in remote and underserved areas. Policymakers should develop and enforce policies that support the expansion and optimization of livestock vaccination programs.

Purpose: To aim of the study was to analyze the effects of dietary changes on feline obesity in cats in the United States.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Recent studies indicate that dietary changes play a crucial role in addressing feline obesity in the United States. Research shows that transitioning to high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets can significantly reduce weight gain and promote healthier body conditions in cats. Additionally, the incorporation of portion control and feeding schedules, alongside the use of specialized weight management foods, has been linked to effective weight loss in overweight felines. The findings also highlight the importance of increasing fiber content in cat diets, which aids in satiety and reduces overall calorie intake. Furthermore, educating pet owners about the impact of treats and the need for regular veterinary consultations can enhance dietary compliance and improve feline health outcomes.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Energy balance theory, obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) theory & behavioral theory of eating may be used to anchor future studies on the effects of dietary changes on feline obesity in cats in the United States. Practically, to address feline obesity, pet owners and veterinarians should adopt several evidence-based dietary strategies. From a policy perspective, several key actions are recommended to address feline obesity on a broader scale.

Purpose: Bochdalek hernia (BH) in adulthood is rare. Symptomatic BH in adults is rarer, but may lead to fatal complications. Patients with acute gastric volvulus on diaphragmatic hernia are a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency.Materials and Methods: A 22-year-old male patient presented to our emergency department with a two-day history of severe epigastric pain. The pain was dull in nature with dyspnea on lying supine. Findings: The stomach was within the thorax on the left side due to left diaphragmatic hernia of a nontraumatic cause, diagnosed by chest radiograph, and computed tomography (CT). The patient was prepared for the open surgical repair, to close the defect. The patient recovered with accepted general condition and was discharged 5 days later. In conclusion, in our case, we report this rare presentation of BH with gastric volvulus as an urgent condition that needs to be diagnosed as early as possible to prevent fatal complications. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: A diagnosis of an adult diaphragmatic hernia should always be kept in mind in patients with overlapping abdominal and respiratory symptoms with or without a history of trauma.

Hacia un sistema educativo 0-18 que promueva equidad
Authors: Martínez Rizo Felipe
Published: September 2024

Los sistemas educativos se han distinguido por rasgos que propician la desigualdad, como un inicio tardío, la limitación del carácter universal a la primaria, la organización en grados con evaluación sumativa al final de cada uno, la oferta desigual que perjudica a los desfavorecidos, la selección de una minoría para que continúen con estudios medios y superiores, y la falta de atención al desarrollo de habilidades cognitivas complejas, de pensamiento crítico y de competencias socioemocionales. Estos rasgos siguen marcando a muchos sistemas educativos e impiden que la educación contribuya a la equidad y democracia. Este artículo presenta ideas sobre los rasgos que el sistema educativo debería adoptar, en contraste con los que han prevalecido históricamente, para propiciar la equidad a mediano y largo plazo.

Authors: Rodríguez-Castro Frederick Xavier
Published: September 2024

El propósito investigativo fue determinar si el acompañamiento pedagógico en la supervisión educativa constituye una estrategia efectiva para mejorar el desempeño docente y su desarrollo profesional continuo en el proceso educativo en el sistema público de Puerto Rico, dadas las condiciones de un sistema de evaluación percibido como autoritario y punitivo. Los objetivos incluyeron: identificar las características e implicaciones del acompañamiento pedagógico en diversas regiones de América latina como experiencia viable para el sistema educativo puertorriqueño y, luego, desarrollar un marco de cómo el acompañamiento pedagógico induce cambios positivos en los docentes para evaluar y mejorar su desempeño profesional. Mediante el estado de la cuestión se empleó el análisis documental y de contenido y se demostró que las instituciones educativas que implementan el acompañamiento pedagógico mejoran significativamente, tanto en el desempeño docente como en su desarrollo profesional. Las intervenciones efectivas de apoyo identificadas fueron: visitas al aula, microtalleres y talleres de actualización. El acompañamiento del docente en su trayectoria es clave para inducir cambios positivos en la comunidad escolar mediante participación activa. Con base en estos hallazgos, se recomienda al Departamento de Educación de Puerto Rico transformar la supervisión educativa integrando el acompañamiento pedagógico dentro del sistema de evaluación docente.

Educación forestal en el Perú y complejidad
Authors: Arce Rojas Rodrigo Severo
Published: September 2024

El presente artículo trata de la revisión de la educación forestal en el Perú desde el enfoque de la complejidad. Se trata de un proceso de reflexión a partir de la participación en un proceso nacional de revisión de la política de bosques y de  un proceso de revisión mundial de la educación forestal liderado por organizaciones internacionales. De la reflexión se concluye que el enfoque de la complejidad, desde las vertientes de ciencias de la complejidad y del pensamiento complejo, abren muchas posibilidades al sector forestal al incorporar una visión de sistemas complejos adaptativos y una perspectiva filosófica que le ayuda a encontrar el sentido a una educación forestal que a la fecha se había orientado fundamentalmente al aprovechamiento forestal y a la conservación de los bosques pero con un carácter fuertemente sectorial y disciplinario. Aunque en la práctica los profesionales forestales van adquiriendo la actitud interdisciplinaria todavía es incipiente este abordaje desde la educación forestal. La complejidad de la realidad obliga a los profesionales forestales a incursionar en otras perspectivas disciplinarias pero que no está suficientemente motivada desde la propia educación forestal que mantiene la tradición disciplinaria de la ciencia.

Dengan Kebijakan atau Konsep Pemerintahan Baru Bapak Jokowi yaitu Poros Mairtim dan Pengembangan Tol Laut untuk mendukung Indonesia sebagai Poros Maritim Dunia, maka Tol Laut merupakan konektivitas laut yang efektif berupa adanya kapal yang melayari secara rutin dan terjadwal dari barat sampai ke timur Indonesia, yang harus memiliki elemen Tol Laut seperti, Pelabuhan yang Handal, Pelayaran Rutin/berjadwal, Shipping Industry, Kecukupan Muatan Barat ke Timur sebaliknya Timur ke Barat, Integrated Transportasi dan Inland Akses yang efektif. Dalam Konsep Tol Laut telah merencanakan Pembangunan 24 Pelabuhan Strategi, 5 Pelabuhan Hub, dan 19 Pelabuhan Feeder sebagai pendukung Tol Laut. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Pelabuhan strategis New Port Makassar dan Pelabuhan Bau- Bau. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah jenis penelitian Survey. Teknik pengumpulan data yang dilakukan adalah observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Metode analisis dengan menggunakan analisis deskriptif kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Implementasi terhadap pendukung konsep tol laut dapat diukur melalui Pembangunan pelabuhan laut,Implementasi konsep tol laut terhadap pembangunan pelabuhan laut sudah terimplementasikan hal tersebut telihat dari adanya kerja sama pemerintah (Bappenas serta Kementerian Perhubungan) bersama Pelindo danPengembangan armada kapal untuk mendukukung tol laut. Adapun kebijakan yang dibutuhkan agar Tujuan Konsep Tol Laut bisa terwujud di antaranya:Kemenhub perlu memasyarakatkan keberadaan “rumah kita” kepada perusahaan pelayaran, petani dan pemasok produk pertanian, peternakan dan perikanan. Begitupun halnya dengan pengusaha bahan baku industri agar mereka memanfaatkan keberadaan “rumah kita”. Serta Kemenhub perlu melakukan evaluasi pelaksaan program tol laut untuk mengetahui sejauhmana program ini berhasil.
How might Apple, Freire, and hooks redesign the modern school as a site for social transformation?
Authors: Hoopes AnnaLise
Published: September 2024

In Western society, schools have largely been designed to reproduce capitalist, patriarchal, white supremacist, colonial systems and values. Numerous structural elements—from redlining and modern segregation to scripted curricula and high-stakes testing—work to ensure that schools solidify existing social inequalities, produce good workers, and keep hegemonic powers in place. Shaped within these forces of reproduction, our schools are fraught with grave problems: racism and discrimination in every form, physical and emotional bullying, hunger and food insecurity, technology addiction, sexual harassment, teen suicide, conflicts and gang violence, drug use, mindless consumption, and ecological destruction. The modern school is a perfect microcosm and reflection of an unhealthy society. How might we redesign schools such that they become sites of social transformation, rather than reproduction? How might we cultivate kind, ethical, empowered global citizens within our classrooms? In this paper, I will explore how Michael Apple, Paulo Freire, and bell hooks might address these questions. I will explore each scholar’s theories in an attempt to imagine what a school based in their pedagogical philosophy might look like—one that nurtures kind, ethical, and empowered global citizens.

The facilitation of culture circles should be seen as part of this necessary expansion. Despite being an integral component of critical pedagogy, culture circles are frequently excluded from conversations about liberatory praxis. The following reports showcase the design and implementation of culture circle-based, human development, co-curricular programs for middle and high school students. These programs paired larger project for liberation, with play-, game-, and design-based pedagogical approaches, that cultivated value-creative, critical, local, and global citizenship.
Empowering Online Teaching: A System Review of Online Instructors’ Professional Development in Higher Education
Authors: Ai Shuhan
Published: September 2024

This paper begins with the introduction of online education development in U.S. higher education. It examines the challenges of online learning, highlighting that online education often yields poorer outcomes, with lower completion rates and fewer educational learning outcomes. It identifies key determinants impacting online learning outcomes: student agency, the level of interaction within online courses, and digital literacy. The study emphasizes the importance of professional development (PD) for online instructors, especially in community colleges. Critical pedagogy serves as the conceptual framework for the PD, advocating for educational systems that empower students and teachers to challenge oppressive structures and to contribute to educational equity. It stresses the need for instructors to be facilitators of learning, promoting active dialogue and collaborative knowledge construction. The paper discusses scaffolding strategies, promoting student agency, enhancing interaction, and integrating technology-enhanced learning (TEL) as essential components of PD for online instructors. The paper concludes by arguing for the necessity of humanizing online education, aligning it with the principles of critical pedagogy to create more inclusive and empathetic online classrooms. It suggests that as online education evolves, there is a responsibility to ensure that PD programs reflect these humanizing principles, contributing to a more equitable and reflective education system.

Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty ex Silva, commonly known as red algae, holds economic significance as a primary source of κ-carrageenan, which exhibits promising medicinal and therapeutic properties. This study aims to assess the antioxidant potential as well as hepatoprotective activity of the ethanolic extract of K. alvarezii (EEKA). The assays utilised to determine the antioxidant properties of EEKA were total phenolic content (TPC) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging. In addition, the ability of EEKA to ameliorate experimentally induced liver injury in Sprague-Dawley rats caused by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was evaluated. The biochemical assays involved measuring liver marker enzymes (AST and ALT) in serum as well as determining the levels of reduced glutathione (GSH), lipid peroxidation (LPO) via malondialdehyde, catalase (CAT), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) in liver homogenates. The TPC and DPPH radical scavenging activity of EEKA demonstrated relatively low antioxidant properties compared to standard references. However, CCl4-induced groups exhibited significantly increased levels of AST and ALT, along with depletion of antioxidant status (GSH, CAT, and GST) indicated by LPO. Pretreatment with EEKA resulted in slightly decreased liver marker enzyme activity and LPO, coupled with an increase in antioxidant status. These findings suggest that EEKA contains active principles capable of counteracting the hepatotoxic effects induced by CCl4.
The United States and Cultural Globalization: Power Dynamics in Global Media Flows
Authors: Anyanwu Kosidichimma
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the contemporary dynamics of global media flows. It emphasizes the power struggles between American film and TV’s global dominance and competing industries using Bollywood as case study. An examination of Bollywood’s rich cultural narratives and strategic engagement with international audiences is presented as a significant force in the global film industry, challenging the traditional dominance of American media. Empirical analysis of viewership trends and market data reveals that while American media continues to exert substantial influence globally, Bollywood’s rise reflects a shift towards a more diversified cultural landscape. The findings highlight the complexities of cultural globalization, illustrating how diverse media products can coexist and thrive in the international arena. Ultimately, this research underscores the importance of recognizing the contributions of non-Western media industries in shaping global cultural consumption patterns and calls for further evaluations of the prevailing narratives surrounding cultural hegemony.
