PERLINDUNGAN TERHADAP PENDUDUK SIPIL PADA SAAT TERJADI KONFLIK BERSENJATA BERDASARKAN HUKUM HUMANITER INTERNASIONAL DAN HUKUM PERTAHANAN INDONESIA
Authors: Suryokumoro Herman , Ikaningtyas Ikaningtyas
Published: October 2021

Instrumen hukum internasional telah mengatur ketentuan mengenai pertahanan yang terkait dengan permasalahan perang yang disebut dengan Hukum Humaniter Internasional. Indonesia sendiri telah berupaya menangani persoalan survival bangsa ini secara komprehensif. Upaya tersebut diimbangi dengan upaya membangun rasa kebangsaan, sistem sosial, politik dan ekonomi untuk mengisi kemerdekaan tersebut. Dalam membangun national security, bangsa ini telah mengembangkan Sistem Pertahanan dan Keamanan Rakyat Semesta (Sishankamrata), Wawasan Nusantara (Wanus) dan Ketahanan Nasional. Perlindungan hukum bagi penduduk sipil (Civilian) pada saat konflik bersenjata dalam instrumen hukum internasional diatur dalam ketentuan yang disebut Hukum Humaniter Internasional. Hukum humaniter tersebut dikodifikasi ke dalam : Pertama, Hukum Den Haag. Kedua, Hukum Jenewa. Perlindungan penduduk sipil diatur tersendiri dalam Konvensi IV Jenewa. Dan ketiga, Instrumen Hukum Internasional lainnya yakni ketentuan hukum humaniter diluar dari ketentuan Hukum Den Haag maupun Hukum Jenewa. Sedangkan, perlindungan hukum bagi penduduk sipil (Civilian) pada saat konflik bersenjata  berdasarkan Sistem Pertahanan Negara di Indonesia mengacu kepada ketentuan perlindungan terhadap hak asasi manusia (HAM) secara umum. Hal tersebut terlihat pada pengaturan di dalam Undang-Undang Dasar tahun 1945, maupun Undang-Undang Nomor 56 Tahun 1999 tentang Rakyat Terlatih. Sementara dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 27 Tahun 1997 tentang Mobilisasi dan Demobilisasi dan Undang-Undang Nomor 3 Tahun 2002 tentang Pertahanan Negara.

Authors: Vieira Naldeir dos Santos , Barbosa Allan Claudius Queiroz , Parente Cristina , Lopes Daniel Paulino Teixeira
Published: October 2021

This study aims to analyze how the actions of a non-profit association from Portugal have impacted on development and promotion of social innovations. The literature review discusses origins, concepts and processes of this type of innovation, including criteria for evaluation of its results. The analyses were based on triangulation of semi-structured interviews, direct observation and documentary research data. Results show that, despite not being the focus of the association, actions towards the community quality of life enabled the development of processes and products regarded as social innovations. The main obstacles were financial dependence on state and local subsidies, ingrained habits and customs of the local population, and low levels of active participation from those involved in proposing innovative ideas. However, the association succeeded by relying on creativity, inspiration, engagement and support from its main leaders and on the alignment and support of its human resources in the implementation of strategy.

Introduction: Many authors have discussed the relationship between craniofacial morphology and pharyngeal airway spaces in different malocclusions and skeletal patterns. So the aim of this work was to study the relation between sagittal position of the mandible and pharyngeal airway volume in adults using CBCT. Materials And Methods:Twentyone CBCT radiographs were collected from the archive of Radiology Department at Suez Canal University and were divided into 3 groups according to the measured SNB angle. Group 1 normal mandibular position, group 2 retrognathic mandible and group 3 prognathic mandible. Dolphin 3D imaging software was used to measure the airway volume for all the radiographs. Nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal and total pharyngeal airway volumes were measured for all the radiographs. F-test (ANOVA) was used for comparison between groups and Tukey test for pairwise comparisons. Correlations between variables were tested using PearsonÂ’s correlation coefficient. Results: there was statistically significant difference in the mean total pharyngeal airway volume and oropharyngeal airway volumes between the three groups. Nasopharyngeal airway volume and hypopharyngeal airway volume had non-significant difference between groups. There was a significant positive correlation between total pharyngeal airway volume (mm3) and SNB angle. Conclusion: Pharyngeal airway volume differs with different sagittal positions of the mandible. Pharyngeal airway volume decreases with mandibular retrognathism and increases with mandibular prognathism.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an annual oilseed crop cultivated for its seeds which are a source of income and nutrients for farmers. In Niger, the plant is mainly cultivated on low inputs soils some often without added fertilizers because sesame is considered as secondary crop. A study of the response of sesame to mineral fertilization was carried out on the experimental farm of the Faculty of Agronomy and Environmental Sciences of Dan Dicko Dankoulodo University of Maradi during the rainy season 2019-2020. The SN-103 cultivar was used in a split-plot design set-up with 4 replicates. Two factors were studied : the type of fertilizer with two levels (15-15-15 and 18-46-00) and the dose at five levels (0 kg ha-1 (control), 80 kg ha-1, 300 kg ha-1, 334 kg ha-1, 368 kg ha-1). Flowering time, plant height at maturity, the number of capsules per plant, the number of branches, the grain yield and the Normalized Difference of the Vegetation Index (NDVI) were the parameters monitored. The economic benefits analysis of applying these doses were also carried. The results evidenced that there is no significant difference between the two types of fertilizer in their effects on the growth and the development parameters and that only the dose effect was significant. Higher dose of 15-15-15 or 18-46-00 significantly increase the grain yield of sesame. The rate of 368 kg ha-1 was particularly more productive with a grain yield of 837 kg ha-1. The two doses of 80 kg ha-1 and 368 kg ha-1were economically superior and stable within the price variability periodes of sesame grains. NDVI 4, measured on the 66th day after sowing, alone explains 63,30% of the variability in sesame grain yield. Although sesame is considered a less fertilizer demanding crop, it responds well to fertilization and a measured NDVI during full bloom can be an effective tool for predicting sesame seed yield.

Published: October 2021

Purpose:This research seeks to investigate whether a remote working model has become a key factor influencing talent retention strategies during the covid-19 pandemic. Research Methodology:A mixed research methodology was applied following the grounded theory of conceptualization to assess data associations and explain their relationships. A situational analysis of relevant research related to the topic was conducted. Primary data collection included a total of 12 interviews issued to Human Resource personnel in the service industry and a survey to 115 people aged between 20-30 years who due to the covid-19 pandemic remain working remotely. Findings: We found out that 45% of people consider remote working as key when deciding on a new job. However much remote working has rapidly picked up momentum, managers still need to work on their management skills to enhance high-quality talent retention strategies and competitive advantage. Research limitations: We only focused on 17.47% of the labor force in the service industry who are between 20-30 years and due to covid-19 pandemic remain working remotely. However, most service industries had already implemented remote working models before the pandemic. Future research should include these companies as well and expand on the population scope. Practical Implications: The results could be used by managers to optimize productivity, efficiency and improve company talent retention strategies. Additionally, it offers employees work-balance benefits to consider for future jobs. Originality/Value: Remote working, talent retention strategies, and the service industry have been extensively researched. However, covid-19 influences a lot of these models and applicability especially in the service industry, unfortunately, it has been less explored.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is acomplex metabolic disorder associated with increased risk of microvascular and macrovascular disease characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia resulting from defect in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) causes visual impairment as a result of long term accumulated damaged to the small blood vessels in the retina.Adipocyte fatty acid binding protein(AFABP), been suggested as a third adipokine, in addition to leptin and adiponectin. AFABP might have a role in the proliferation of endothelial cells, as well as in angiogenesis. A-FABP levels were determined in subjects witout diabetes mellitus, with type 2 diabetes mellitus without DR and with DR at admission in order to investigate a possible association of A-FABP to the increased risk of incidence of DR. Material and methods: This study was done on non-diabetic (n=25) and Type 2 diabetes subjectswith(n=25) and without retinopathy (n=25) who visited HAHC hospital. Blood glucose (fasting and post prandial), glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c), urea, creatinine, uric acid, total protein, serum albumin,serum electrolytes (sodium, potassiumand chloride), totalcholesterol,triglyceride, high density lipoprotein(HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and and AFABP were measured . Result: The mean values of blood glucose (fasting and post prandial),HbA1C,urea, creatinine , TG, LDL VLDL and AFABP were higher in diabetic subjectswith diabetic retinopathy in comparison to diabetic subjects without retinopathy and subjects without diabetes mellitus and were highly significant statistically.(p<0.01). The mean value of HDL was lower in diabetic subjects with diabetic retinopathy in comparison to diabetic subjects without retinopathy and subjects without diabetes mellitus and was highly significant statistically. Conclusion:The study helps in associating AFABP as an early biochemical marker for identifying onset of diabetic retinopathy in subjects with diabetes mellitus at an early stage.

This study investigates school textbooks with a focus on a pre-modern nation construction in Morocco. It seeks to detect the cultural symbols via which the pre-modern nation is formed. Using a deductive approach, social studies textbooks of middle school are analyzed.Drawing on the Ethno-Symbolist conceptual framework to nation formation which is developed by Anthony Smith, this study highlights the significant role of textbooks in nation-building.It suggests that the textbooks construct a pre-modern nation of Morocco out of an Arab-Muslim cultural repertoire. The research recommends changes to the content of the textbooks to adopt a multi-cultural approach, which would accommodate cultural funds of Amazigh and Jewish ethnic groups in the national narratives.

Published: October 2021

Em estudos de processamento digital de sinais e aprendizado de máquina aplicados a registros de Eletroencefalografia (EEG) de pacientes portadores de epilepsia, pesquisadores normalmente necessitam de um método automatizado e acurado para detectar e/ou discriminar padrões artefatuais em seguimentos de dados, uma vez que métodos manuais e baseados em conhecimento de domínio são altamente passíveis de erro e viés. Muitos métodos vem sendo empregados em tarefas de detecção e classificação de sinais de EEG, porém a grande maioria destas estratégias, quando consideradas de alta eficiência, requerem considerável poder de armazenamento e processamento computacionais, uma vez que dados de atividade neuronal possuem grande complexidade associada. Como uma alternativa à abordagens mais complexas, neste trabalho visamos desenvolver um método de mais baixo custo computacional para discriminação de padrões artefatuais em registros de EEG de pacientes com epilepsia, utilizando a Transformada de Hilbert-Huang (HHT) e um conjunto de estatísticas paramétricas e não paramétricas para extração de informação das amostras, juntamente com um modelo ensemble, baseado em Árvores de Decisão (AD) para discriminação entre três tipos diferentes de padrões artefatuais nos seguimentos de dados.

A construção de uma interface de comunicação direta entre o cérebro e o computador tem se mostrado uma tarefa desafiadora e que pode trazer inúmeras aplicações em controle, especialmente ajudando na qualidade de vida de pessoas com disrupções no sistema neuromotor, permitindo a criação de um novo canal de comunicação independente dos caminhos neurais. Este trabalho busca desenvolver um algorítmo de processamento digital de sinais cerebrais obtidos através de Eletroencefalografia (EEG) utilizando técnicas de Análise de Componentes Independentes (ICA), Análises Espectrais, padrões comuns espaciais (CSP) e banco de filtros (FBCSP) e um classificador de Máquinas de Vetores de Suporte (SVM Linear) e implementando internamente uma solução para a classificação multiclasse utilizando um classificador binário. A integração desses técnicas, implementadas individualmente, é feita pelo algorítmo, que foi construído pensando numa arquitetura que facilite a adição de outras técnicas desde que trabalhando no formato de dados definidos pré-definidos. Com as técnicas utilizadas conseguiu-se taxas de acerto em um banco de dados de 4 classes, dependendo do usuário, de até 76,4% no melhor caso e a forma de construção do algoritmo com a padronização dos dados permite a constante melhoria do processamento com a fácil implementação de novas técnicas.

Published: October 2021

In this work we investigate the use of a Gaussian membership function as a technique to improve the steps of feature extraction and classification in brain-computer interface (BCI) systems based on motor imagery (IM). The main idea of this approach is to filter the spectral information of the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal via parameterized covariance matrices to highlight features that contribute to signal classification through a classifier based on Riemann’s distance. The results, in relation to the accuracy performance, acquired in this work arevalidated from dataset 2a of the IV International ICM Competition. The results obtained suggest that the spectral filtering performed using the Riemann Geometry approach can positively affect the performance of the ICM system, increasing its flexibility.

Published: October 2021

Social media and advertising offers opportunities for receiving pre- and post-purchase information. Advertising plays a significant role in business marketing, as every company wants its product to be successful, and familiar to its target audience, and thus, it is essential to promote it. Promotion plays an important role within the marketing mix, as its aim is to draw the attention of potential buyers. The main purpose of this study is to find out how social media, especially advertising, changed its content during the COVID-19 pandemic. A questionnaire was distributed among respondents by means of social media. This way we included representatives of each age category trying to resemble, as closely as possible, the Slovak market. From among the randomly selected participants (social media users), 135 respondents completed the questionnaire. As for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in terms of advertising, we found out that there had been a certain change. According to the answers of our respondents, the changes related to the content of advertisements, the motives used, their narratives, offered products or services, or the combination of all the above. Consumers noticed an increased amount of COVID-19 related products such as face masks, disinfectants, etc.

Published: October 2021

The study carried out an analysis of solid waste disposal and its implication for water quality in the Ugep Community, located in Yakurr’s Local Government Council of Cross River State, Nigeria. Findings revealed that there is a significant and adverse relationship between solid waste disposal methods and the quality of drinking water, along with domestic uses in the study area. Data was collected through the administration of 500 questionnaires, with family heads as points of primary contact. It was clear that the poor state of infrastructural development and the challenge of availability and access to requisite amenities, coupled with inefficient management of the few available resources, has further exposed inhabitants to health and welfare issues. Results indicate a significant relationship between the solid waste disposal (sanitation) method and water quality in the study area. Awareness creation on sanitary practices by health and related government agencies, as well as community members themselves, should be encouraged to participate, as it will ensure a sustainable and health-oriented waste disposal system, bearing in mind likely concerns for water quality. Contamination of water is more prevalent in stored water, especially at the point of usage, as compared to where water flows freely, and is used without being stored. If water quantity is massive, the challenge of low quality is easily resolved, as less sanitation problems would occur. Government and private organisations should implement and encourage economic empowerment initiatives, in order to improve the livelihoods of the residents of the community.

Published: October 2021

Currently, in the world of medicine, the use of medical devices is very important. Along with the development of technology, the need for imaging in radio diagnostics is getting higher. This can be seen from the increasing trend of using medical devices by experts that are tailored to the needs of patients. The progress of radiological examination is growing rapidly with the use of radiation sources, one of which is by using a CT-Scan (Computed Tomography Scanning). The use of CT-Scans must be monitored to ensure the protection and safety of workers, patients, and the public. Protection requirements that must be met in the use of radiation are optimization of radiation protection and safety. The optimization of radiation protection is determined from the diagnostic guide level or the Indonesian Diagnostic Reference Level (I-DRL). The data used in this study is a chest contrast examination with the category of adults (15 years and over). From the CT-Scan irradiation, the CTDIVol and DLP values ??were determined in the 3rd quartile (Q3=75 percentile).

Published: October 2021

Currently, the Nuclear Energy Supervisory Agency (BAPETEN) is actively guiding users or license holders related to patient protection against radiation hazards or often referred to as radiation protection and safety on medical exposure. Protection against medical exposure became a big issue when the mandatory compliance test on X-ray equipment for diagnostic and interventional radiology was introduced. In addition, license holders through their medical practitioners are also required to use the level of medical exposure guidelines. While PERKA BAPETEN No. 9, 2011 concerning the Suitability Test of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology X-Ray device, states that one of the test parameters that directly affect the patient's radiation dose and determine the feasibility of operating the X-Ray device to the patient is information on the dose or rate of radiation dose received by the patient. Monitoring doses with Entrance Surface Air Kerma (ESAK) or what is often referred to as ESD (entrance surface dose) using suitability conformity test data starting from 50,60,70,80,90 and 100 kVp with 20 mAs at SID 100 meters. The results of the research on the value of ESAK was 0.049 mGy, an ESAK value that still met the national I-DRL value from BAPETEN Regulation No. 1211/K/V/2021.

Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND

Globally, hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) are ranked as the eleventh most common cause of disability among adults. Growing evidence suggests that the use of mHealth technology in OA management is effective and reduces the burdens in primary and secondary care. However, a comprehensive state-of-the-art review on the use of mHealth technology in managing OA is lacking.

OBJECTIVE

This review aimed to assess the current state of research on the use of mHealth technology for self-management/education of adults with OA, identify key research activities, and provide future directions on the development/application of mHealth technology.

METHODS

The Arksey and O’Malley methodological framework was employed, augmented with a scientometric analysis using VOS viewer. Six databases were searched from inception to 31st March 2021. The PRISMA extension for scoping review was used to report the findings.

RESULTS

Our review only identified 19 mHealth programs being used to promote self-management of OA. The current evidence suggested that compared to no or other interventions, mHealth technology was feasible and might be more effective in reducing pain, or promoting physical function and quality of life in individuals with OA. However, not all mHealth programs were developed by healthcare professionals. The scientometric analysis revealed various co-occurring keywords that reflected conceptual properties of this research domain. Although some intellectual connections among groups of authors, research articles, and journals were also noted, only a few researchers and journals were the most impactful contributors in this research domain.

CONCLUSIONS

The use of mHealth technology in OA management is potentially promising, however, there is a great need to investigate the benefits and cost-effectiveness of this approach. More collaborations among organizations are warranted to bolster activity in this area. Future mHealth programs should be developed based on a strong theoretical background to support the uptake of their programs.

Discourse Markers in Journalism: A Case in Compostela Valley State College-Maragusan
Authors: Inansugan Kei , Sajonia Kethelle , Pastolero Nelson
Published: October 2021

This study mainly explored the use of Discourse Markers (DMs) in journalistic writings and the factors that prompted the BSED English students of CVSC Maragusan to commit errors. This study employed the qualitative research. Ten (10) informants were part of the writing assessment and phone interview and were chosen through purposive sampling. For ethical considerations, this study underwent an ethics review before the data were gathered. Furthermore, to adhere to the Data Privacy Act, the identity of the respondents was held confidential. The Coding and thematic analysis were used in data analysis. The study's findings revealed that students have limited knowledge about DMs and their functions in basic writing. Additionally, the limited knowledge about DMs are the factors that prompted the respondents to commit errors in using the DMs in their journalistic writings. These findings imply that students should be taught more about the DMs, their types, and their proper usage in writing. With this, the incorporation of the DMs in the discussion should be given more attention, especially in writing class.
Typographic Portrait Generator Using Image Processing-Project Application
Authors: Waykule Prof. V.V.
Published: October 2021

Abstract: Typography portrait is a portrait made up of words. The face of a person has different shades and distinct features. In order to make a typography portrait the distinct shades and features need to be clearly extracted. Existing systems focus only on the different shades of the face. They fill the face with word clouds without any regard for the distinct features of a face. This project will consider not only the shades of a face but also the features of a person’s face. The extraction of facial features will be done first and then text filling will be done accordingly. This project intends to create an application that will create a typography portrait having a much better visual appeal than the present systems. Keywords: Image Processing, Edge Detection, Image Segmentation, Face Recognition, Text Filling.
Fake News Detection using RNN-LSTM
Authors: Mengji Samarth
Published: October 2021

Abstract: Fake news distribution is a social phenomenon that can't be avoided on a personal level or through web-based social media like Facebook and Twitter. We're interested in counterfeit news because it's one of many sorts of double dealing in online media, but it's a more severe one because it's designed to deceive people. We're concerned about this now that we've seen what's going on. We are concerned about this issue because we have seen how, through the usage of social correspondence, this marvel has recently caused a shift in the direction of society and people groupings, as well as their opinions. Along these lines, we chose to confront and decrease this wonder, which is as yet the principal factor to pick a large portion of our choices. Our objective in this study is to develop a detector that can predict if a piece of news is false based just on its content, and then attack the problem using RNN method models LSTMs and Bi-LSTMs to tackle the problem from a basic deep learning viewpoint. Keywords: RNN (Recurrent Neural Networks), LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), Fake news detection, Deep learning
Detecting Fake News Using Social Media Platforms
Authors: Deokate Prof. B. J.
Published: October 2021

Abstract: Fake news detection is an interesting topic for computer scientists and social science. The recent growth of the online social media fake news has great impact to the society. There is a huge information from disparate sources among various users around the world. Social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter are one of the most popular applications that are able to deliver appealing data in timely manner. Developing a technique that can detect fake news from these platforms is becoming a necessary and challenging task. This project proposes a machine learning method which can identify the credibility of an article that will be extracted from the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) entered by the user on the front end of a website. The project uses the five widely used machine learning methods: Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), Random Forest (random tree), Random Forest (decision tree), Decision Tree and Neural Network to give a response telling the user about the credibility of that news. Our initial definition of reliable and unreliable will rely on the human-curated data http://opensources.co. OpenSources.co has a list of about 20 credible news websites and a list of over 700 fake news websites. The proposed model is working well and defining the correctness of results upto 87.45% of accuracy. Keywords: Data Pre-processing, Fake news datasets, ML algorithms, Prediction.
Investigation of behavior of BESS with PV using MATLAB/Simulink
Authors: Gupta Yash
Published: October 2021

Abstract: As renewable energy penetration rises, integrating it will become a major issue that will necessitate new generating support infrastructure; an energy storage system is one answer to this problem. Battery technologies, in particular, have a wide range of energy and power output capabilities, making them perfect for integration. In many regions where renewable energy generation systems will be implemented, distributed energy storage on distribution grids may be required. When the sun is not shining or the weather is cloudy, an energy storage system is required for solar photovoltaic systems. For PV applications, a battery is used as an energy storage system. Keywords: Energy storage system, Battery, Simulink and modelling.

Published: October 2021

El presente artículo contempla los principales resultados de la investigación, cuyo objetivo fue analizar la efectividad de los recursos y aplicaciones tecnológicas seleccionadas por la población docente de la Escuela José Trinidad Mora Valverde de Costa Rica, para el desarrollo de los procesos de mediación pedagógica en el periodo comprendido de julio a setiembre del 2020. El enfoque de investigación fue mixto; entre los principales resultados obtenidos, se destaca que los docentes han priorizado como recurso tecnológico el celular para los procesos de mediación pedagógica. Esto por cuanto, es el medio al que tienen mejor acceso y comunicación con los niños y los padres de familia. Además, se denota en este grupo de participantes, gran compromiso por generar espacios efectivos con el fin de favorecer la mediación pedagógica, con apoyo de las tecnologías. Sin embargo, se evidencia su poca experiencia en el uso de los recursos y las aplicaciones tecnológicas para fines educativos. Entre las conclusiones se destacan que los docentes están dando prioridad al uso de las aplicaciones tecnológicas Microsoft Teams® y WhatsApp® con fines educativos, para la estrategia “Aprendo en casa” implementado por el Ministerio de Educación Pública, ya que estas dos aplicaciones son las más utilizadas por los docentes. Además es clara la necesidad de fortalecer las capacitaciones para el mejor uso de las diversas aplicaciones tecnológicas con que cuentan para los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje.
Enseñanza con aprendizaje móvil en educación secundaria. Percepción de la comunidad educativa
Authors: Gómez-Vallecillo Ana Isabel , Vergara Rodr´íguez Diego
Published: October 2021

Este artículo difunde los resultados de una investigación evaluativa de algunos aspectos del programa de integración de tabletas digitales en el aula, desde las percepciones de una comunidad educativa concreta de Educación Secundaria tras cuatro años de implantación. Primero, se analizan cuantitativamente y con un diseño de tipo descriptivo, los cuestionarios dirigidos a 48 estudiantes y 21 familias. Seguidamente, de forma cualitativa se describen las opiniones de tres profesores y un miembro del Servicio Técnico por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas con respecto a su satisfacción y la idoneidad del uso de la tableta como herramienta educativa. Los hallazgos ponen de manifiesto la aceptación de la comunidad educativa hacia la tableta digital, a la vez que se identifican algunos de los retos a la hora de implementar el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje con tabletas en la educación (tecnología informática de la escuela, competencia docente relacionadas con la enseñanza y el aprendizaje digital, retirada de libro en papel). Se concluye que el programa de implantación de las tabletas ha sido percibido como positivo, si bien existe espacio para la mejora desde el punto de vista de la conectividad y la aplicación de un modelo pedagógico cognoscitivo y colaborativo.
