Authors: ÜÇÜNCÜ Gökşen , KARAKAYA Ferhat , YILMAZ Mehmet , GİRENGİR Ayşe
Published: July 2022

The aims of the study are to prepare an instructional design that supports the development of children's basic scientific process skills for the seed theme and to examine the effectiveness of this design and to improve the awareness of preschool children about the concept of seed. In line with the purpose of the research, the changes in children’s prior knowledge about seeds after implementing the activities that address the different skills in the acquisitions and indicators in the preschool curriculum were examined. The research was conducted with 198 preschool children attending a public preschool in the province of Izmir in the 2021-2022 academic year. The children’s ages range from four to six years. During the research process, teachers were firstly given training about seed plants, flowering plants, fruit, seeds, and seed germination by academicians who are experts in the field of biology. The teachers who received this training also carried out eight activities with children about the topics of what the seed is, the importance of the seed, and the benefits of seed preservation. With the aim of determining the children's prior knowledge about seeds, open-ended structured questions developed by the researchers were asked to the children before the activities, and their answers were recorded. The same questions were asked after the activities were completed and the answers were recorded again. This study is a case study, one of the qualitative research methods. One-third of the children’ answers were coded by two independent experts, and then preliminary codes were created. Afterward, all responses were evaluated with these codes. The results of the analysis determined that while the knowledge and awareness of the children about seeds were low at the beginning, this level increased after the study. The study is thought to contribute to teachers and researchers who develop activities on seed awareness and can be an example of how to develop thematic instructional designs science education in the preschool period.

2013 ve 2018 Fen Bilimleri Öğretim Programları Kazanımlarının Yenilenmiş Bloom Taksonomisine Göre Karşılaştırılması
Authors: CANGÜVEN Halil Dündar , AVCİ Gülşen
Published: July 2022

Öğretim programı, bir derse ait kazanım becerilerini, okul ya da okul dışı ortamlarda öğrenme ve öğretme faaliyetlerinin bütünüdür. Öğretme-öğrenme sürecinde, öğrencilere kazandırılması hedeflenen davranışların kazanımlar doğrultusunda olabilmesi için sınıflamalar (taksonomiler) oluşturulmuştur. Bu taksonomilerden en dikkat çekici olanlarından biri de Bloom Taksonomidir. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman incelemesi metodunun kullanıldığı bu çalışmada 2018 Fen Bilimleri Programı ile 2013 Fen Bilimleri Programı, Yenilenmiş Bloom Taksonomisi Bilişsel Alan Basmaklarına göre karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışma, bugüne kadar yapılan program karşılaştırmalarının bir araya getirilmesi, güncel bir program karşılaştırılmasının ortaya konulması ve bilişsel süreçler açısından çeşitli öneriler sunulması bakımından önem taşımaktadır. Uzmanlar tarafından, Fen Bilimleri Öğretim Programlarında verilen kazanımların sadece eylem kelimelerine bakmanın yanıltıcı olabileceği düşünülmüş, kazanımlarda verilen cümlelerin tamamı bir bütün olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Kodlama çalışmaları sırasında bazı kazanımların birden fazla eylem kelime içerdiği belirlenmiştir. 2013 ve 2018 yıllarında uygulanan programlardaki kazanımlar bakımından, Hatırlama, Uygulama, Analiz ve Değerlendirme basamaklarında yüzde oranlarında azalma; Anlama ve Yaratma basamaklarında ise yüzde oranlarında artış olduğu belirlenmiştir. Analiz basamağında sadece 6. sınıf seviyesinde, değerlendirme basamağında 3, 4, 6 ve 8. sınıf seviyelerinde, yaratma basamağında ise tüm sınıf seviyelerinde artış belirlenmiştir.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SYMBOL FOR POLITICAL POWER LEGITIMACY IN THE CONTEXT OF POWER AND CIVIL SOCIETY DIALOGUE
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kurylenko Anastasiia
Published: July 2022

The government’s ongoing dialogue with civil society is necessary to maintain its legitimacy. However, with the transition to postmodern discourse, the effectiveness of such communication deteriorates, and the meanings and messages of the parties are not always perceived correctly. That is why the study of symbols becomes especially relevant — as the clearest and fastest form of transmission of the message without losing its essence. The purpose of this article is to study the peculiarities of the use of symbols to establish political communication between the government and civil society and further legitimize public authority. The main methods used for this study are: political science — analysis of specialized scientific sources allowed to identify features of the use of symbols in the process of political communication to legitimize public power, comparative — allowed to compare different approaches to understanding the concepts of symbol, communication and legitimacy. features, system approach — allowed to consider communication as a complex, complex and multifaceted process with the corresponding internal and external features of functioning, historical — the study of the transformation of understanding the concept of legitimacy of power. This article reveals the importance of symbols in the political communication of the postmodern era, their use by politicians and the overall impact on the legitimacy of politicians. In the course of the research we came to the conclusion that there is an interdependence between effective communication between the government and civil society and a high level of legitimation of power in the postmodern era.
CONCEPTUAL CONSIDERATION OF THE REASONS FOR THE DEPLOYMENT AND COLLAPSE OF THE PROTESTS IN BELARUS IN 2020
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Tukalenko Inna
Published: July 2022

The study of the reasons for the deployment and collapse of protests in Belarus was conducted on the basis of fundamental approaches to studying the nature of protest movements: political opportunity structure, resource mobilization and interactive approach. The reasons for the outbreak of the protest wave in Belarus were analyzed in three areas: global, national and eventual (situational). Both global trends and intra-system factors were taken into account, including the impact of evolutionary modernization and development of network technologies on the shaping of the demand for democracy, changes in social and class structure of Belarusian society, the ferment of dissatisfaction with current political regime and situational reactions to protests. The reasons for the defeat of the protests were clarified and the dominance of two of them — the use of disproportionately harsh government response to non-violent forms of protest activity of citizens and the inability of protesters to cause a serious split in the ruling class — was substantiated.
Imagined Places and Immersive Spaces
Authors:   , Kurennaya Anya Sergeyevna , Luvaas Brent Adam
Published: July 2022

The subject of this study is American tiki culture, the cultural space centered around immersive, often Polynesian-themed, drinking and dining establishments known as tiki bars. Through semistructured interviews and ethnographic study, this research considers how both enthusiasts and hospitality industry professionals negotiate the meaning of the scene's symbols and practices with respect to their present values and self-identifications. Interviews, which are analyzed using a grounded theory approach and coded with emergent themes, are used to look at the active process of world-building and to understand how participants define the scene and their positioning within it. Deleuze and Guattari's concept of deterritorialization and reterritorialization and Appadurai's dimensions of global cultural flow are used to make sense of competing and coexisting strands of thought with respect to categories of gender, race, and cultural ownership. Findings are presented through the framework of four overlapping and interrelated core themes: history, mapping, time, and space. The findings offer insight into the construction of ethical worlds in subcultural scenes and the variable ways of interpreting the applicability of constructs such as cultural appropriation to one's own practices. The geographically indeterminate symbols of the tiki scene complicate place-based assertions of authenticity and, in so doing, ask us to view authenticity and value as rooted in adherence to an ideological mindset rather than from historical or geographical origin points. Similarly, objects and practices within tiki can be seen as subject to the processes of deterritorialization and reterritorialization, and this can help explain and complicate the existing label of cultural appropriation. Keywords: authenticity, value, cultural identity, scene, cultural appropriation

Prácticas de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial dirigidas a los stakeholders en PYMEs del Valle del Cauca: literatura vs práctica
Authors: Garcia-Solarte Monica , Azuero-Rodríguez Andrés Ramiro , Garibello-García David
Published: July 2022

Las empresas requieren el desarrollo de prácticas de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial – RSE que sean un medio de relación con sus grupos de interés y que evidencien cómo contribuyen en la satisfacción de las necesidades de los mismos. Este artículo busca realizar un análisis descriptivo de las prácticas de RSE por grupo de interés que se presentan en la literatura y hacer un comparativo con las prácticas que reportan las PYMES más exportadoras del Valle del Cauca. Para lo cual se realiza una revisión de los artículos académicos entre 2010 y 2020 y se hace un análisis de contenido sobre las prácticas de RSE publicadas en las páginas web de las PYMES más exportadoras del Valle del Cauca de acuerdo al reporte de la Cámara de Comercio de Cali en el año 2020, teniendo como base de comparación las dimensiones de RSE económica, filantrópica y ético-legal planteadas por Carroll. Los resultados indican que el grupo de interés que mayor cantidad de prácticas percibe por parte de las PYMES analizadas son los empleados y que la dimensión de RSE que más prácticas tienen es la ético-legal. Por último, se halla que múltiples prácticas van dirigidas a dos o más grupos de interés lo que permite una optimización de recursos y un mejor alcance por práctica de RSE aplicada en las PYMES.
Análisis de la miel de abeja en Chile: un estudio de caso en el sector apícola
Authors: Huerta-Riveros Patricia , Oliva-Jara Carolina  , Pulido-Garcés Jocabed , Leyton-Pavez Carolina
Published: July 2022

La finalidad de este estudio consiste en analizar la miel de abeja en Chile para proponer lineamientos estratégicos que permitan contribuir a la gestión del sector apícola chileno. Para ello, la metodología utilizada es un estudio de caso, para lo cual se aplica en el año 2021 una encuesta a 84 consumidores y a 40 apicultores de la Región del Biobío en Chile. Los resultados del estudio permiten apreciar que el 38% de los apicultores se dedica hace más de 10 años a la producción de miel y el 50% señala que aprendió sólo del rubro, siendo las principales dificultades enfrentadas la organización y el tiempo, la sanidad y nutrición. Además, el 42% de los apicultores plantean que el cambio climático, las plagas y sequías afectaron la producción de la miel entre un 0 y 20%. Mientras que el 30% de los consumidores encuestados considera como prioridad el prestigio o reputación del producto. Se concluye la relevancia de los lineamientos estratégicos para guiar el desarrollo de la cadena de la miel en Chile y se recomienda su implementación para el fortalecimiento del sector apícola a nivel nacional e internacional.
Socialismo en la capital del Territorio Nacional de La Pampa, Argentina (1913-1929): municipalización de servicios, higiene urbana y consumo
Authors: Laguarda Paula Inés
Published: July 2022

Este artículo analiza las propuestas impulsadas por los socialistas en el Concejo Municipal de Santa Rosa, capital del Territorio Nacional de La Pampa (Argentina), entre 1913 y 1929, con el fin de modernizar la ciudad. Los ejes de acción principales fueron la municipalización de servicios públicos, la higiene urbana y el abaratamiento del consumo, en línea con otras experiencias de socialismo municipal. No obstante, el caso santarroseño se caracterizó por un alto grado de intervencionismo estatal, en detrimento del impulso de iniciativas cooperativas, al menos en el periodo analizado. El trabajo aborda los apoyos y resistencias al proyecto de ciudad socialista, mediante el análisis de fuentes diversas, como la prensa y fotografías de la época, las actas del Concejo Municipal y la legislación nacional. Al mismo tiempo, examina las tensiones entre ideas y prácticas políticas, así como su relación con otros espacios locales y con el contexto nacional e internacional.
Migración, trabajo y nación. El lugar de Colombia en los estudios sobre las migraciones a América Latina
Authors: Díaz-Rico Jhojan Alejandro
Published: July 2022

En este artículo analizo algunos de los estudios acerca de las migraciones a Latinoamérica, al tiempo que presento un marco general de dichos trabajos y sitúo la historiografía de las migraciones a Colombia en dicho marco. Identifico dos perspectivas de análisis: la primera de corte socioeconómica, que surge en 1990, y que privilegia un análisis de las actividades laborales de los inmigrantes; la segunda de carácter sociocultural, la cual surge en la década del 2000 y estudia la manera en que los ideales racializados de construcción de las naciones Latinoamericanas afectaron la recepción y los procesos de integración de los inmigrantes. La historiografía de las migraciones a Colombia se enmarca, sobre todo, en la primera perspectiva, puesto que analiza las causas de las migraciones y las actividades laborales de los inmigrantes. Sin embargo, es posible encontrar algunos pocos abordajes recientes que redireccionan los estudios migratorios hacia los ideales de nación imperantes en Colombia a principios del siglo XX.
Foreign Direct Investment and Information Communication Technology Taxation Effects on Tax Income Growth
Authors: Omodero Cordelia Onyinyechi , Ujah Promise Iheanyichukwu , Iyoha Francis Odianonsen
Published: July 2022

The necessity to confirm the effectiveness of ICT tax and FDI to government income from tax in Nigeria. The policy to levy ICT-based enterprises appears to raise firms' tax burdens, however it requires rigorous analysis to determine if this policy should be amended or supported. The purpose of this study is to look into the boost that ICT taxes and FDI inflows have brought to tax revenue collection in Nigeria. The study employs descriptive and inferential statistics, different diagnostic tests, and ordinary least squares techniques to analyze the efficacy of ICT taxes and FDI in increasing general tax income. The analysis shows that ICT tax has a positive and considerable impact on tax revenue, whereas FDI inflows have a somewhat favorable impact but have no effect on tax revenue. The global growth of ICT and the accompanying tax in Nigeria has certain economic and financial ramifications that have not been examined. Several researches on ICT and FDI have been published, however this unusual taxing feature has yet to be explored in the current studies.
A method for analyzing complex structured data with elements of machine learning
Authors:   Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Radio Wave Propagation, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Mandrikova B.S.
Published: July 2022

A method for analyzing data of complex structure based on combining a wavelet transform and neural networks Autoencoder is proposed. The method allows you to research the data structure, detect abnormal changes of various shapes and durations, and suppress noise. The efficiency of the method is shown on the example of data from a network of neutron monitor stations. Neutron monitor data determine the intensity of secondary cosmic rays and are one of the key factors in space weather. The numerical implementation of the method allows it to be applied on-line, which is of interest in problems of analyzing environmental data and detecting catastrophic events.
An adaptive, probabilistic, cognitive agent architecture for modelling sugarcane growers’ operational decision-making
Authors: Price Catherine Susan , Moodley Deshen , Pillay Anban , Rens Gavin
Published: July 2022

Building computational models of agents in dynamic, partially observable and stochastic environments is challenging. We propose a cognitive computational model of sugarcane growers’ daily decision-making to examine sugarcane supply chain complexities. Growers make decisions based on uncertain weather forecasts; cane dryness; unforeseen emergencies; and the mill’s unexpected call for delivery of a different amount of cane. The Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) architecture has been used to model cognitive agents in many domains, including agriculture. However, typical implementations of this architecture have represented beliefs symbolically, so uncertain beliefs are usually not catered for. Here we show that a BDI architecture, enhanced with a dynamic decision network (DDN), suitably models sugarcane grower agents’ repeated daily decisions. Using two complex scenarios, we demonstrate that the agent selects the appropriate intention, and suggests how the grower should act adaptively and proactively to achieve his goals. In addition, we provide a mapping for using a DDN in a BDI architecture. This architecture can be used for modelling sugarcane grower agents in an agent-based simulation. The mapping of the DDN’s use in the BDI architecture enables this work to be applied to other domains for modelling agents’ repeated decisions in partially observable, stochastic and dynamic environments
Secondary school teachers’ perceptions of BYOD among learners within the classroom
Authors: Mawere Talent , Manjeese Caleeb , Chigada Joel
Published: July 2022

The use of personally owned devices among learners has remained a contentious issue in schools across the globe. While several studies have been devoted to explaining the importance of such initiatives, the debate has continued to rage on, with most school authorities imposing a blanket ban on the use of these devices within their premises. In this study, we seek to contribute by examining in-service teachers’ perceptions of the use of personally owned devices in schools within the global south context. The qualitative study explores teachers’ understanding of the usefulness of technology and associated devices such as smartphones in the classroom. The Unified Theory of Use and Acceptance of Technology (UTUAT) was used to draw up a conceptual framework. Purposive sampling was employed to select in-service secondary school teachers who had at some time previously enrolled in an introduction to information technology course at a tertiary institution. Constant comparison analysis and thematic analysis were used to analyse the data from the focus groups. Thirteen thematic areas were drawn from the study and these were framed to support the conceptual framework.
Evaluating the optimization of limited government resources in low-income countries using a sharing economy platform
Authors: Gebeyehu Seffi , Twinomurinzi Hossana
Published: July 2022

This paper reports on the design and usefulness of a digital government innovation to share limited government resources in low-income countries (LICs) based on the sharing economy paradigm, collaborative consumption (CC). The innovation was developed using design science research and the usefulness was evaluated using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model (n=321) with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The key findings reveal that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and facilitating conditions are significant factors of the behavioral intention to adopt the CC platform. Social influence was however not a significant factor. These key findings suggest the practical usefulness of the CC platform in motivating the sharing of limited government resources and overcoming traditional government bureaucracy. The study contributes to information systems theory in advocating for the adoption of a sharing economy ethos as a means to maximizing limited government resources in LICs, and in creating digital artifacts using design science research methods. The study recommends for LIC governments to further extend the resource sharing capability to include non-government organisations and citizens.
Arabic Reading Fluency Rates: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Thomure Hanada Taha , Brown Gail , Speaker Richard , Taha Haitham , Tamim Rana , O’ Neill Nerolie
Published: July 2022

Reading fluency has been defined as the process of automatically associating graphemic and phonetic information in a text with minimal conscious attention if any at all. Research has found that the effect of fluency on reading proficiency is of importance to student learning and that increasing oral reading fluency (ORF) rates has been correlated in several studies to improved comprehension. However, no reading fluency rates (FR) or standards in Arabic have been established to date. This exploratory study begins to examine Arabic language ORF and proposes an initial Arabic reading fluency scale. Thirty-five teachers from six private bilingual schools across three Arabian Gulf countries (KSA, the UAE, and Kuwait), administered ORF tests that comprised of authentic, vowelized, and leveled Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) connected texts on 1003 students in Grades 1–6 in Fall and Spring of the same academic year. Results of independent samples t-test revealed changes in reading fluency between Fall and Spring. Furthermore, the range of FR for these initial data within each grade level was significant. Results obtained, however, appeared to be lower than several of the international ORF charts used for English and Arabic languages. Girls outperformed boys in Grades 1–3, while boys outperformed girls in Grades 4–6. The study has several limitations and several likely implications that extend to languages other than Arabic possibly including the potential importance of extended reading practice and early exposure to text.
Normalizando o galego en Alemaña. O papel da formación universitaria do galego en Leipzig
Authors: Sinner Carsten
Published: July 2022

A contribución traza os antecedentes do estudo do galego en Alemaña e o camiño seguido a partir de 2010, para incluír o galego no currículo académico en Leipzig e forzar, desta forma, o recoñecemento do galego e, ao mesmo tempo, da pluralidade lingüística de España en Alemaña. Prestarase especial atención, por un lado, á programación e ao desenvolvemento dos Estudos galegos no cadro da priorización e focalización das linguas minorizadas europeas na Universidade de Leipzig e, por outro, ás consecuencias da implantación do galego no ámbito académico alemán noutras esferas institucionais, para logo debater como inciden na normalización e promoción do galego a nivel internacional.

Utilización político-mediática de conceitos sociolingüísticos na linguaxe actual
Authors: García Negro María Pilar
Published: July 2022

Todo avanzo efectivo no proceso de normalización dunha lingua nacional submetida ao dominio da oficial estatal vai estar sempre acompañado-combatido por un arsenal semántico-terminolóxico que visa destruílo ou neutralizalo. A estratexia da imposición das linguas consideradas indiscutíbeis nas súas prerrogativas dotarase de tácticas diversas, adaptadas ao momento histórico e á súa maior eficacia divulgativa. Nesta operación da neoimposición das linguas estatais, utilízanse conceitos ou expresións que non se compadecen coa orixe histórica nen coa realidade sociolingüística. Interesa, pois, analisar a utilización xurídico-política —e a súa derivada mediática— de nocións como lingua común, conflito lingüístico, inmersión, plurilingüísmo ou normalización. Referímonos, en concreto, ao marco español, e ás linguas nacionais que del dependen: galego, éuscaro, catalán. A cuestión das linguas —o seu uso xeral, os seus dereitos, a súa existencia, en definitiva— está intimamente unida ao recoñecemento ou non dos povos, das sociedades a que pertencen. É, pois, unha cuestión esencialmente política, en que está en xogo a admisión ou non —en igualdade democrática e horizontal— de nacións que non posúen institucións estatais ao seu servizo. Na fase actual de capitalismo globalizado, dereitos democráticos teoricamente proclamados fican en entredito pola imposición de facto das linguas que contan de vello cunha maquinaria potente de implantación e consolidación social e pública. A título de exemplo significativo, sinalamos o incumprimento da Carta Europea das Linguas Rexionais ou Minoritarias, recoñecida como paralexislación polo Estado español en 2001 ou da Declaración Universal dos Dereitos Lingüísticos, aprobada por unanimidade polo Congreso de Deputados español e polos Parlamentos galego, basco e catalán en 1996.

Institutional investors and real earnings management: A meta-analysis
Authors: Kabacinski Bartosz , Mizerka Jacek , Strozynska-Szajek Agnieszka
Published: July 2022

The aim of the article is to examine the influence of institutional investor ownership on real earnings’ management (REM) practices through a meta-regression analysis (MRA) based on a sample of 225 estimations from 19 articles. Some of the available research suggests a mitigating role for institutional investors who can serve as external monitors and thus reduce earnings’ management activities which could have a negative impact on the company’s value. The results obtained from the basic model confirmed neither the hypothesis about the influence of institutional ownership on REM, nor the hypothesis about the existence of a significant publication bias. Using an augmented MRA model conclusions in different areas associated with structural and methodological heterogeneity were drawn. Differences in the impact of institutional ownership on real earnings’ management in different regions of the world, a dependence of the results on different data characteristics and differences in the results depending on whether the article was published in a top journal or not were found.
Learning from Life Story Collection and Analysis with Children who Work in the Leather Sector in Bangladesh
Authors: Sayem Mashrique , Paul Sukanta , Apgar Marina , Snijder Mieke
Published: July 2022

CLARISSA (Child Labour: Action-Research-Innovation in South and South-eastern Asia) is a participatory evidence and innovation generating programme. We are generating evidence on the drivers of the worst forms of child labour (WFCL) and exploring how to address them through participatory Action Research (PAR) with children and other stakeholders in the leather supply chain in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Our main intervention modality is Systemic Action Research (SAR) (Burns, 2007), of which life story collection and analysis (LSC&A) is the first step in our participatory design that will inform child-led PAR groups which will become the engines of innovative responses to WFCL. The LSC&A methodology is a storytelling and story listening methodology and was chosen because of the universal power of stories to make sense of complex realities and seek new futures. People across the world like to tell their stories; they like to feel listened to and they are interested in how their story connects and compares to others. By collecting and analysing stories from hundreds of children in WFCL we can visualise the bigger system that each individual story is connected to. We hypothesize that through engagement in the process of telling, listening, collecting, and analysing life stories, children engaged in harmful and hazardous work will use their understanding of systems dynamics to move into creating their own solutions to the drivers of WFCL. In 2021 in Bangladesh, we collected 405 life stories from children living in Hazaribagh, Hemayetpur, Lalbagh, and Bhairab in Dhaka, with more than one hundred of these stories collected by children themselves. Following the story collection and transcription, children were supported by the CLARISSA implementation team to collectively analyse the stories through identifying critical ‘factors’ (events which have causes and consequences) and understanding how they causally relate to each other. The analysis of the 405 life stories resulted in the development of large system maps that illustrate all the causal dynamics that underpin lived experiences of WFCL. Based on the systemic analysis process the children identified themes of the PAR to be set up in their localities. Our experience with the LSC&A methodology is the first in the context of children in WFCL. The methodology has been used in one other project in Bangladesh to date. We therefore intentionally aimed to learn from the implementation process and to evaluate if and how the telling of, listening to, collecting and analysing of life stories is empowering and in turn whether it leads to increased ownership of the problems which motivates collective action (Burns, 2021). In this learning note we share our methodological learning and reflect on operational implications for designing and facilitating an LSC&A process with children which we hope will support adaptation and use of the methodology by others working in participatory programming with children.
The 'Flipped' Classroom - A Method for Improving Teaching and Learning Even in Large Classes
Authors: Urban Michal
Published: July 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced many of us to transform our approach to teaching and learning. Instead of standing in front of a class in the lecture hall or sitting around a table and interactively debating with students, we, as teachers, have found ourselves staring at students (or just their names) through such platforms as Zoom or Teams and overcoming the instances of hesitance or silence by, well, talking more. Sooner or later some, perhaps many, of us recognised this “trap of silence” and in searching for better approaches to online teaching began to use – intentionally or not – the flipped classroom method. In this text, I will share my experience from the spring semester of 2021, in which I used the flipped classroom method in a large group setting (over 150 enrolled students).

In the first part of this text, I will describe the course and implementation of the method. Then I will summarize its advantages and disadvantages and identify questions for further consideration. Throughout the paper, I include the experience of other teachers from the field of law and other disciplines to provide more context for my experience with the flipped classroom.

Azygos vein injuries are rare consequences of blunt trauma. When there is high drainage output from a right-sided intercostal catheter, an azygos injury must be considered in the differential diagnosis. We report the case of a 38-year-old male patient involved in a fall from a height during a motorcycle accident. Computed tomography demonstrated a large right-sided hemothorax and left-sided pneumothorax. The patient was transferred to the operating theatre and underwent a clamshell thoracotomy. A laceration in the azygos vein at the confluence of the arch of the azygos and the right superior intercostal vein was identified. Bleeding was controlled at the trifurcation. The patient survived and was discharged home on postoperative day 15.

Introduction: The maternal mortality remains high in developing countries such as Indonesia. Three most common reasons for this incidence are hemorrhage, infection, and eclampsia. Some of these conditions can be infl uenced by Iron Defi ciency Anemia (IDA). A lot of programs for nutrition have been provided by Indonesian government, but the nutritional condition of pregnant women still be big problem in Indonesia. This study explored the nutritional status of pregnant village women in Banten Province, Indonesia and assessed interventions in dealing with nutrition problems among pregnant women especially in the rural area. Methods: The design was a longitudinal descriptive study with operational study by empowering village midwives and cadre to intervene pregnant women nutrition in rural area. The measurements were focused on the rate of anemia, body mass index (BMI), and weight. Three stages were applied in this study with community development as intervention. Results: This study reported some changes in the midwife practises after Intervertion, while cadres more talkative when explaining about nutrition after intervention. However, the intervention did not affect the overall nutritional status of the pregnant women and the intervention was not able to influence the community’s health in the medium term in the intervention villages.  Conclusion: This study recommend the government and educational institutions to improve the competencies of health care providers especially in communication skill.

Introduction: Lead is a well-known toxic agent that makes an organ’s failure. Lead serum itself is infl uenced by δ-ALAD gene polymorphisms (Amino Levulinic Acid Dehydratase). δ-ALAD gene encodes an ALAD enzyme used for heme synthesis. The Characteristic of gene polymorphism may result in Glomerulo Filtration Rate (GFR) value as mark of renal failure. The goal of this study was to fi nd correlations between blood lead levels with GFR in terms of δ ALAD gene polymorphisms.Methods: A cross-sectional design was used to perform this research. Thirty-eight gas stations workers in Banyumas were recruited in this study. δ-ALAD gene polymorphisms were characterized using PCR-RFLP method, while lead serum levels were quantifi ed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). In addition, Creatinin serum was done with a spectrophotometer and GFR value was formulated by means of the Schwartz method.Result: The study showed that the proportion of ALAD genotype for ALAD 1-1, 1-2 and 2-2 were 94.7%, 5.3%, and 0% respectively. The mean of serum levels in homozygous 1-1 was 15.94 ppb and heterozygote 1-2 was 1.15 ppb. GFR of participants ranged from 71.11 mL/min to 185.20 mL/min with a mean of 117.34mL/min. There was no correlation between serum Pb and GFR (p = 0.19). Study also could not determine the correlation between GFR and ALAD gene Polymorphism.Conclusion: Study then concluded that there was no correlation between blood lead levels in the GFR on each δ-ALAD genotypes.
