Introduction: Insight facilitation is an integral step to achieve good treatment outcome in schizophrenia. Low insight always leads to poor drug adherence and treatment resistance. The study aimed to examine how demographic profile and symptoms influencing the insight among people with schizophrenia. Methods and Materials: Objectives were to assess socio-demographic variables, the symptoms, and insight among people with Schizophrenia and to understand the influence of those variables on the insight. The descriptive research design opted for the study. Sample size of the quantitative study was 53, and subjects were selected as per the study inclusion and exclusion criteria. The population of the study was patients who were attending the outpatient department of psychiatry at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS). Results: Age and age at the onset of illness were not associated with insight. Male participants had better insight compared to female participants. Persons with middle school or primary school education reported better insight than illiterate, graduates or professional graduates. Participants from the urban area had better insight than participants from the rural area. Insight and positive and negative symptoms were negatively correlated. Conclusion: The demographic factors and symptoms influence the insight among people with Schizophrenia. Hence such factors must be considered while insight facilitation for increasing the adherence to the treatment.

Authors: Sultan Muzakir Hi. , Laisouw Ruslan
Published: November 2020

Fish in Indonesian waters have various types, the famous ones are tuna and skipjack. The two types of fish look similar, because they come from the same family, namely scombridae. To find out and differentiate types of tuna and skipjack fish, it can be seen based on the texture image. The method that can be used in analyzing texture is the Gray Level Coocurent Matrix (GLCM) method. There are several methods of image classification, one of which is the Naive Bayes method. This study aims to identify types of tuna and skipjack based on texture analysis using the GLCM and Naive Bayes methods. Based on the results of testing data analysis on types of tuna and skipjack meat using GLCM with angles  and , the distance of each pixel is 1, indicating the value of Energy, Entropy Contrast, Homogeneity, Correlation, Sum Average, and Sum of Variance are highly varies. As well as the Naive Bayes classification results obtained a probability of 0.58 or 58% categorized as tuna meat, while the remaining probability of 0.42 or 42% is categorized as skipjack.
Organoleptic Test of Smoke Cob Fish (Euthynnus affinis) Using Efhilink Fishing Equipment and A Simple Cabinet Type of Smoking Time
Authors: Suwarsih Suwarsih , Joesidawati Marita Ika
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this study was to determine how long the tuna smoking process takes and how long the quality of smoked fish lasts by conducting an organoleptic test. The material of this research is the organoleptic test of smoked tuna quality with the Efhilink fish fumigant and the simple cabinet type on smoking time. The method used in this study is an experimental method that is by using corn clams as fuel for smoking cobs. The conclusion of the different treatment of the Efhilink and the simple cabinet type with the analysis results can be seen that the fumigation process that is the fastest produced by the Efhilink rack 1 type fumigator is 56 minutes. This is because the working process of the Efhilink type smoker changes the shape of the smoke produced into liquid smoke by connecting the smoke pipe with the condenser so that the temperature of the Efhilink device can be hotter than the Simple Cabinet-type fumigator, besides that the position of rack 1 is very close to the smoke source. . Whereas the longest smoking process produced by a Simple Cabinet Type 3 rack smoking device is 325 minutes or 5 hours 25 minutes this is due to the working process of the Simple Cabinet Type smoking device which emits the smoke produced through the top funnel, so that the heat produced is lower. than the Efhilink-type fumigator. In addition, the position of shelf 3 is very far from the smoke source. Meanwhile, the best organoleptic test value was produced on day 3 of the two tools. Based on the results of the study, it is suggested that the fumigation process uses the Efhilink smoke device.

Authors: Guerrero Salazar Christian Virgilio , Prieto López Yeimer
Published: November 2020

La realidad educativa contemporánea dista mucho de la que conocimos la gran mayoría de los que nos dedicamos a la docencia desde hace más de quince años. Desde las disfunciones familiares, pasando por los cambios sociales, ideológicos, tecnológicos y científicos hasta llegar a la infinidad de trastornos y necesidades educativas especiales, que se presentan en los estudiantes actuales, esta realidad exige del docente una preparación cada vez más idónea que le permita desarrollarse en la profesión con mejores posibilidades de éxito. Los cambios nunca han sido fáciles; es por eso que el docente necesita en primer lugar realizar una transformación de sus propios paradigmas mentales, que le permita desarraigar las viejas prácticas pedagógicas innecesarias o desactualizadas a través de la formación e investigación educativa constante. El presente ensayo busca proponer sobre la base de la investigación educativa, una síntesis de las principales características que permiten al docente contemporáneo enfrentar los cambios educativos de una manera coherente y eficaz, utilizando técnicas y herramientas pedagógicas actualizadas, basadas en el conocimiento profundo de teorías educativas y el uso de las tecnologías.

Authors: Gandica de Roa Elizabeth María
Published: November 2020

En esta investigación se planteó como objetivo general, examinar la potencia y robustez de las pruebas de normalidad en muestras grandes y pequeñas, generadas con simulación Montecarlo. Se aplicaron pruebas de hipótesis no paramétricas que miden el grado de discrepancia entre las distribuciones empíricas y la función de distribución acumulada normal, que analizan la correlación entre la distribución teórica y la experimental y las que se sustentan en el estudio de la asimetría y curtosis. La comparación se hizo en dos grupos con tamaño de muestras distintas. En las muestras grandes se compararon las pruebas de Kolmogorov-Smirnov; Chi-Cuadrado de Pearson; Jarque-Bera y Geary; en las muestras pequeñas Shapiro-Wilk; Cramér-von Mises; Lilliefors y Watson. Los contrastes se realizaron con el Programa informático RStudio y el criterio de rechazo para las hipótesis nulas se hizo a través del p-value. Como conclusión, la prueba de mayor robustez en muestras grandes es Kolmogorov estimándose que su probabilidad es menor a 0,11. En muestras pequeñas este resultado corresponde a Shapiro-Wilk con una estimación menor a 0,14. Con relación a la potencia en las pruebas de normalidad para muestras grandes se demostró que la más potente de ellas es la prueba Jarque Bera, con un intervalo de confianza entre 0,86 y 1. Para las muestras pequeñas ninguna de las pruebas sometidas a estudio resultó potente.

Authors: Alam Khurshid , Zaman Tanveer Uz
Published: November 2020

Various studies in the past explored a positive correlation between information load and students’ understanding difficulties. In topics where the thought steps exceeded the working memory limit the performance collapsed quite spectacularly. The capacity of this part of the brain is determined genetically fixed. However, the room for efficient use of this part is open largely through experience. In this study pre-learning strategy was practiced to minimize the load on working memory in order to improve students’ understanding in mathematics. To follow the strategy, twenty pre-lectures were developed from year 9 and 10 mathematics textbooks followed by twenty post-tests. A sample of 212 students was taken from two FG schools in Peshawar Cantt. The outcome was focused in terms of understanding rather memorization. No changes were made in the curriculum content, time allocation and the teachers. The results depicted significant improvement in students’ performance in the stipulated topics. The results are consistent with previous studies in very different contexts, which highlighted significant importance of pre-learning practices
A QUALITATIVE APPROACH TO STUDY THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING: PROFESSIONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE OF TEACHER-EDUCATORS AND STUDENT-TEACHERS IN INITIAL TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Authors: Akhtar Nasreen , Butt Intazzar Hussain
Published: November 2020

There is a general view that the transmission style of teaching is inadequate in helping students develop their learning in science, particularly in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) in Pakistan. Inquiry-based pedagogy in science is considered key means of improving an understanding of science and helps students cultivate their science literate thinking and develop their confidence to teach science effectively. In light of the key roles of inquiry-based pedagogy in initial science teacher education, this study explores the perceptions of teachers and students at a university in Punjab as how they understand the elements and process of inquiry-based pedagogy. The research is innovative in the context of exploring teacher-educators’ and student-teachers’ perceptions of inquiry-based pedagogy and also in relation to inquiry in the practicalities of their teaching at University in Punjab (Pakistan). Data has been collected using 2 focus groups with student-teachers and 20 interviews with teacher-educators. The result of this study indicates that the teachers and students mostly held positive views about inquiry-based pedagogy. Significantly, the teachers and students showed a limited understanding of the elements of inquiry-based pedagogy in ITE but they appreciated that they could facilitate the learning process using inquiry. When inquiry-based instructional strategies are integrated into a teaching science methods course, the majority of teachers developed a fair understanding of inquiry-based strategies in science. Moreover, the biggest challenges to inquiry are a non-supportive university academia, the current curriculum and assessment methods used. Finally, recommendations about the importance of teachers’ and students’ perceptions on inquiry-based pedagogy, arrangement of resources, preparation for teachers and students are made to the teacher-educators, University administration, and Higher Education Authority.

Poverty is said to exist when people lack the means to satisfy their basic needs. Thus, improving the educational attainment of the population is an important requirement to reduce poverty amid the populace and foster development. However, Nigeria with her wealth, still facing enormous challenge in effort made at national level to reduce poverty. The aim and objective of this study is to give insight into the factors that affect or influence poverty in spite of attainment of university education in Nigeria. Percentage data from thirty-six States of the country including the Federal Capital territory Abuja were collated and analyzed through a qualitative response model design. Results from the Probit and Logit models used for analysis reveal that of all variables analyzed, only percentage of household heads with poor educational background was significant at 5% level for all variables analyzed. This indicates a situation that a state with degree educational level of household heads as 0.2 percent, is more likely to be poor when compared to non-poor degree educational level of household head. However, in other way to reduce effect of poverty on educated households, it is recommended that various states’ government should provide graduates with the training and support necessary to help them establish a career in small and medium sized business

Carl Schmitt, lector de Georges Sorel. La crítica al parlamentarismo, el mito de la nación y la «mirada rusa».
Authors: Aguirre German Rodrigo
Published: November 2020

El presente artículo pretende desplegar la interpretación schmittiana del pensamiento de Georges Sorel. Para ello, la exposición se divide en dos momentos. En primer lugar, realizaremos una lectura cercana de Los fundamentos histórico-espirituales del parlamentarismo en su situación actual (1923), obra de Schmitt en la cual la figura de Sorel adquiere un explícito protagonismo. A partir de dicha restitución, planteamos que Sorel constituye un corolario que da cuenta de manera más acabada tanto de la crítica schmittiana al parlamentarismo como del antagonismo con la Revolución Rusa. En segundo lugar, intentamos mostrar la perduración de tópicos sorelianos deteniéndonos en la conferencia «La era de las neutralizaciones y de las despolitizaciones» (1929). Allí, veremos que la problemática teórico-política abierta en 1923 continúa bajo la forma de un enfrentamiento vital y se corresponde con las primeras enunciaciones schmittianas acerca de la politización total y el Estado total.
Contra el estado de excepción: política y derechos humanos en la teoría de Jacques Rancière
Authors: Cristobo Matías
Published: November 2020

Los derechos humanos no constituyeron un objeto del marxismo “clásico” durante prácticamente más de un siglo, debido a que fueron comprendidos como derechos formales (burgueses) por estar presos del supuesto carácter abstracto y limitado de la emancipación política producida a partir de las revoluciones francesa y americana. Pero a la luz de la crisis que tuvo lugar en la izquierda tradicional hacia la década del ’70 del siglo pasado, una serie de autores del campo marxista francés comenzó a repensar  el complejo de problemas compuesto por la relación entre derechos humanos, democracia, ciudadanía y política. Entre ellos se encuentran Claude Lefort, Étienne Balibar, Alain Badiou, Pierre Rosanvallon y Jacques Rancière. Concretamente, nuestro trabajo se ocupa de analizar las posiciones de este último a la luz de la transformación de los derechos humanos en derechos humanitarios, llevada a cabo en el contexto del triunfo de las democracias occidentales sobre el bloque del este. En este renovado interés por los derechos humanos, resulta indispensable partir del examen de las tesis expuestas por Hannah Arendt en su obra Los orígenes del totalitarismo. En consecuencia, proponemos analizar, en primer término, la conceptualización que efectúa Arendt sobre los mencionados derechos para luego dar paso a la reelaboración efectuada Jacques Rancière, cuyo propósito es la crítica de la idea muy difundida actualmente de un “estado de excepción”. Como intentaremos mostrar, lo que en el fondo está en juego es la pregunta por quién es el sujeto de estos derechos, que no es otra que la pregunta acerca de quién es el sujeto de la política.
Alteridad, filosofía y creación artística Una mirada bajtiniana
Authors: Wagon María E.
Published: November 2020

El problema del Otro es un cuestionamiento relativamente nuevo en el terreno filosófico, pues no forma parte del origen griego de la filosofía occidental sino que se constituye como pregunta filosófica recién en la Modernidad. Este artículo pretende ahondar en la problemática de la alteridad, reflexionando sobre la forma en que dicha temática ha sido abordada por parte de la filosofía occidental. A tal efecto, se hace eco del aporte de Lévinas, quien considera que desde sus orígenes en la filosofía occidental ha primado la ontología por sobre la ética, y, en consecuencia, el concepto por sobre la individualidad. En el acto de conceptualización y objetivación del mundo por parte del Yo se neutraliza la alteridad del Otro y se lo convierte en Mismidad.

Ahora bien, no obstante retomar la propuesta lévinasiana, en este trabajo se plantea que la cuestión fundamental que provoca la ausencia del Otro en el discurso filosófico es la falta de conexión entre el plano teórico de la cultura y la esfera práctica de la vida, espacio exclusivo donde se da el encuentro/choque entre el Yo y el Otro. Teniendo en cuenta esto, se deja parcialmente de lado el aporte lévinasiano, para analizar la propuesta filosófica de Mijaíl Bajtín, quien remarca que la gran falencia de la filosofía es no poder establecer un contacto directo entre el ámbito abstracto y universal en el que actúa y la singularidad de la vida práctica del ser humano. La originalidad de este trabajo está dada por la fundamentación de la sentencia lévinasiana por medio de la propuesta teórica de Bajtín.

In cooperative human communication, the speaker has to mark the connection between his utterance and therefore the given information, because the hearer interprets the utterance regarding the data that has already been obtained. Languages adopt various devices to mark the connection between the utterance and also the context. This paper investigates semantic and pragmatic presupposition in Discourse Representation Theory (DRT) within the Chinese language and enhances the pragmatic perspective of presupposition in DRT.

Excessive anxiety during childbirth can cause changes in bodily functions. The impact is that the labor process takes longer, causing complications to both mother and baby. One of the non-pharmacological ways that can be done so that the labor process is gone naturally is by providing complementary massage therapy and frangipani aromatherapy. This research aims to determine the effect of back massage using frangipani aromatherapy oil in the first stage of labor on the duration of childbirth. The type of this research is Quasi-Experimental Design, posttest control group design. The sample is 80 people consisting of the control group of 40 people and the treatment group of 40 people. The sampling technique used is Consecutive Nonprobability Sampling. The data were recorded in the observation sheet. Also. The data analysis was done through univariate and bivariate "unpaired t-test". The results showed that the average duration of childbirth in the control group was 31.25 minutes, while the treatment group was 23.75 minutes. There is an effect of massage using frangipani aromatherapy oil in the first stage of labor on the duration of childbirth at a significance level of 0.01 (p <0.05). In conclusion, there is the effect of massage using frangipani aromatherapy oil in the first stage of labor on the duration of childbirth. It is hoped that midwives will use complementary frangipani aromatherapy massage in providing midwifery care during the first stage of normal labor.

Published: November 2020

A new approach to Ni removal from simulators of dump waste product of the industrial waste purification of the wet gas-cleaning plant and the copper electrolysis workshop at the Copper Plant (Polar branch PJSC MMC «Norilsk Nickel») is proposed. The method is based on gas-phase treatment of waste product with NOХ, HNO3, or NH3 vapors, followed by dissolution of Ni salt in water. It has been found out that using nitrating media, containing HNO3 (vapor), NOX and H2O (vapor), allowed us to perform the effective leaching of nickel from the pulp simulator volume. A possible disadvantage of the method is a simultaneous leaching of considerable amounts of calcium and sulfur.
