FORTALECIMENTO DA IDENTIDADE DO ALUNO DO CAMPO: DIÁLOGO ENTRE PRÁTICAS PEDAGÓGICAS E ELEMENTOS CULTURAIS DOS ALUNOS CAMPESTRES
Authors: Batista Freitas Antonia
Published: October 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo principal demarcar os aspectos legais sobre a educação do campo, sendo esta, uma modalidade pouco discutida pelos estudiosos da educação, mas que precisa ser analisada juntamente com a legislação. A educação do campo deve ser vista não apenas como modalidade de ensino, mas também como uma política pública que garanta a população camponesa os mesmos direitos educacionais garantidos à população urbana, pois se percebe que no decorrer da história essa modalidade educacional sempre foi deixada em segundo plano, não houve um investimento significativo pelos representantes governamentais para que tivesse uma educação do campo condizente com a cultura e identidade do povo camponês. Por isso a importância de estudar as leis que regulamentam a educação do campo, pois essas introduzem no contexto escolar camponês, práticas educacionais condizentes com a realidade, a cultura e a identidade do povo do campo, possibilitando um resgate cultural da população camponesa, como também permite que essa população permaneça em seu espaço rural, sem se deslocar para os centros urbanos, a fim de melhores condições de vida, isso, significa dizer uma educação do campo e no campo.

Critical Success Factor’s in Construction Industry
Authors: Sakib S M Nazmuz
Published: October 2021

The construction industry is unique and complex compared to other industries as it involves many participants in all trends. With the involvement of different parties in a single project as client, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, many of whom have not work together previously, the possibility that a claim might develop should not be ignored. The adequate planning of a construction project beforehand is inevitable for the proper execution and success of the project. But most of the construction projects worldwide are subjected to cost overruns and delays. These overruns and delays indicate the inadequacy of knowledge of the factors that are contributing towards the success or failure of the project. This study aims to identify the critical success factors for projects in the construction industry. A list of factors were identified from the existing literature and grouped into categories. The study identified 30 success factors classified into 5 groups, which were tested using an elicitation technique. Forty-nine responses were collected from project managers, who had an average or 15 years of project management experience and had participated in more than 15 projects. From the results, the top five most important are (1) Project Organization, (2) Project Manager Competence, (3) Project Risk Management, (4) Effect of stakeholders and (5) Resources management . This lead to the conclusion that both project risk management and Resources management should be considered as critical success factors. Further analysis of the data highlights the importance of scope management and soft skills in Resources management and Project Risk Management respectively. It is anticipated that the information gathered through the study will serve as a positive step in highlighting improvements in claim avoidance practices and will be valuable in the future. Keywords: Critical success factors (CSFs), project manager competencies, risk management, project performance, contractor
Development and evaluation of whey based grapes and papaya drink
Authors: Sakib S M Nazmuz
Published: October 2021

Whey is nutritious by-product of cheese industry which is dumped into fields, canals and rivers in Bangladesh. It has biological active peptides, proteins and other functional characteristics, due to which it could be used in different food products such as infant formula, beverages and sports nutrition products. Grapes and papaya are rich source of sugar, vitamins, bioactive compounds, dietary antioxidants and fructo-oligosaccharide. They improve the mineral absorption, decrease the serum cholesterol level and stimulate the intestinal microflora due to their prebiotic effects. The current study is being planned to develop low cost nutritive whey-based fruit drink in Bangladesh. Grapes and papaya will be added in the whey with different ratio for development of suitable drink. The drinks will be pasteurized or unpasteurized filled in bottles and keep in refrigerator for the period of 15 days. During storage drinks will be evaluated for physicochemical attributes (ash, pH, crude fat, crude protein, acidity, solid not fat, viscosity and total solids), Microbial (TVC and Coliform) and sensory evaluation (appearance, taste, flavor and over all acceptability) will also be came out during storage. Consequently, the obtained data will be analyzed statistically following two factors under CRD design.
Medieval forest dynamics in the Iberian Pyrenees: a comparison between low- and high-mountain areas
Authors: Rull Valentí , Vegas-Vilarrúbia Teresa
Published: October 2021

This paper compares the Medieval (ca. 400–1500 CE) dynamics of forests from low-mountain (Montcortès; ca. 1000 m a.s.l.) and high-mountain (Sant Maurici; 1900 m a.s.l.) areas of the Iberian Pyrenees, both of which experienced similar climatic forcing but different anthropogenic pressures. The main aim is to identify forest changes over time and associate them with the corresponding climatic and anthropogenic drivers (or synergies among them) to test how different forests at different elevations respond to external forcings. This could be useful to evaluate the hypothesis of general Pyrenean deforestation during the Middle Ages leading to present-day landscapes and to improve the background for forest conservation. The study uses palynological analysis of lake sediments, historical documents and paleoecological reconstructions based on pollen-independent proxies. The two sites studied showed different forest trajectories. The Montcortès area was subjected to intense human pressure during regional deforestation up to a maximum of ca. 1000 CE. Further forest recovery took place until the end of the Middle Ages due to a change in forest management, including the abandonment of slash-and-burn practices. Climatic shifts indirectly influenced forest trends by regulating human migrations and the resulting shifts in the type and intensity of forest exploitation. The highland Sant Maurici forests exhibited a remarkably long-standing constancy and an exceptional resilience to climatic shifts, which were unable to affect forest extension and composition, and to local human pressure, from which they rapidly recovered. The Montcortès and Sant Maurici records did not follow the rule of an irreversible forest clearing during the Middle Ages leading to present-day landscapes. The present Montcortès landscape was shaped after a Medieval forest recovery, a new Modern-Age deforestation and a further forest recovery during the last centuries. The Sant Maurici forests remained apparently untouched since the Bronze Age and were never cleared during the Middle Ages. The relevance of these findings for forest conservation is briefly addressed, and the need for the development of more high-resolution studies on Pyrenean forest dynamics is highlighted.
How did Autistic Children, and their Parents, Experience School Transition during the COVID-19 Pandemic?
Authors: Code Aimee , Fox Laura , Asbury Kathryn , Toseeb Umar
Published: October 2021

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resultant school closures, social distancing measures, and restrictions placed on routine activities, the start of the academic year in September 2020 was a unique time for those transitioning to a new school. This study aimed to explore the experiences of parents who supported autistic children making a school transition in 2020, and to examine what impact parents perceived the COVID-19 pandemic had on their child’s school transition. Emphasis was placed on identifying facilitating factors that had benefitted school transitions, and barriers, which had negatively impacted these experiences. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 13 parents of autistic children in the UK. Reflexive thematic analysis was carried out to identify themes in interview data. Parents reported a variety of experiences, and factors that were perceived as facilitatory to some were observed to be barriers by others. For some parents, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted aspects of school transitions. For example, school closure in March 2020, being unable to visit their child’s new school, and social distancing measures were discussed as being barriers to an easy transition. However, other parents identified these factors as being facilitatory for their child or reported that these circumstances created opportunities to approach the school transition in a unique, improved manner. This paper sheds light on the heterogeneity of experiences and perceptions of parents of autistic children, and highlights the need to examine the impact of COVID-19 on school transitions, including practices which may be advantageous to retain.
Understandings of mental health, disclosure, help-seeking and psychological adaptation among Asian international students studying in Scotland: a sequential multi-method study

Published: October 2021

International students often face psychosocial, academic, financial and adaptation challenges within the Higher Education (HE) environment that may impact on their mental health. The current study explored the understandings and experiences of Asian international students (AISs) in terms of mental health, disclosure, help-seeking and adaptation specific to cultural relocation within Scotland. A sequential multi-method approach was adopted consisting of two studies: (1) a qualitative study using individual semi-structured interviews with AISs (n=10) (Study 1) and (2) a cross-section survey comparing AISs and non-AISs (n=172) in terms of mental health literacy and psychological adaptation within the Scottish context (Study 2). Qualitative data were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analysed using a thematic approach. Quantitative data were analysed using regression and mediation analysis. Study 1 revealed three themes: (1) Negative beliefs, stigma and fear of judgment impacting on understandings and disclosure of mental health issues, (2) Adaptation and acculturation difficulties (lack of sense of belonging), and (3) Barriers in communication and social disconnection. Study 2 showed that AISs reported lower levels of mental health literacy, which in turn resulted in poorer psychological adaption compared to non-AISs. Supporting AISs in HE institutions involves challenging negative judgements surrounding mental health, increasing mental health literacy and addressing barriers in overcoming adaptation, acculturation and communication difficulties that may inhibit disclosure and help-seeking behaviour. The importance of mental health policies, supports and services in embracing culturally diverse understandings of mental health, challenging stigma and having culturally competent staff supporting student mental health within a multicultural learning environment is emphasised.
Educational Assessment Experiences of College Students during COVID-19
Authors: Ober Teresa , Cheng Alison , Hong Maxwell , Morse Kathleen
Published: October 2021

To better understand the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on today's college students and tomorrow's workforce, a survey was administered to 992 U.S. college students (Meanage=22.36 years, SDage=5.24; %female=53.3) between February and June 2021 on academic assessment practices they experienced before and after COVID-19. Females reported greater test anxiety and lower computer self-efficacy; neither varied based on race/ethnicity nor parental education. Most reported a transition to an online modality during the COVID-19 outbreak with a decrease in classroom assessments. Though classroom assessment formats appeared to change minimally, assessment administration changed markedly during the pandemic-affected period. Untimed and open-book assessments became more common. Assessments administered in-class and in-person proctored became less frequent. Interestingly, during spring 2021, as many colleges returned to in-person instruction, open-book, outside of class, and exams proctored online or unproctored remained common, suggesting a persistent shift in assessment administration practices. Students generally did not feel that exams covered any less content, however cheating was a concern. Most indicated it was difficult to concentrate and reported the idea of taking an exam was stressful during the pandemic, though many still believed that it is important to have assessments to demonstrate learning. Some noted they no longer planned to take certain standardized exams (e.g., GRE) given changes in admission requirements of post-baccalaureate academic programs. Some felt deterred from pursuing further education, yet others felt more inclined given perceptions of a highly competitive job market. Implications of these findings are discussed.
Examining the impacts of mindfulness training and medication on reductions in depressive and anxious symptoms in public school teachers
Authors: Van Doren Natalia , Roeser Robert W
Published: October 2021

School teachers show higher levels of job stress and symptoms of depression and anxiety compared to those in many other professions. In this paper, we examine the impacts of mindfulness training on reductions in depressive and anxious symptoms accounting for the fact that some of these same teachers were already being using medications for such symptoms. Do the benefits of mindfulness training for teachers with regard to internalized distress remain after accounting for medication use for depression and anxiety, and could the use of such medications interaction with mindfulness treatment to, for instance, produce incrementally larger benefits for those taking medication? We explore these research questions using data from two randomized-controlled trials (Study 1 and Study 2). In both studies, teachers were randomized to the same 8-week MT intervention or waitlist control condition, and were assessed for depressive and anxious symptoms at baseline, post-program, and 3-month follow-up. Data on medication use was assessed at baseline and showed ~20% percent of the overall samples reported such use. Overall, exploratory results showed that MT significantly reduced depressive and anxious symptoms at post-program and at 3-month follow-up when controlling for medication use. Furthermore, comparative effects analysis indicated that mindfulness training resulted in more long-term gains for depressive and anxious symptom reduction, while effects of medication remained relatively stable over time (Study 2). These preliminary findings suggest that MT is an effective tool for reducing internalized distress in public school teachers and adds benefit above and beyond the use of medication for such symptoms in this population.
Examining Children's Questions and Parents' Responses about Covid-19 Pandemic in Turkey
Authors: Unlutabak Burcu , Velioglu Ilayda
Published: October 2021

COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on both adults’ and children’s everyday lives. Conversations about biological processes such as viruses, illness, and health have started to occur more frequently in daily interactions. Although there are many guidelines for parents about how to talk to their children about the coronavirus, only a few studies have examined what children are curious about the coronavirus and how they make sense of the changes in their everyday lives. This study addresses this need by examining children’s questions and parents’ responses about the Covid-19 Pandemic in Turkey. Using an online survey, we asked 184 parents of 3- to 12-year-olds to report their children’s questions about coronavirus and their answers to these questions. We analyzed children’s questions and parents’ responses using qualitative and quantitative analyses (Menendez et al., 2021). Children’s questions were mainly about the nature of the virus (34%), followed by lifestyle changes (20%). Older children were more likely to ask about school/work and less likely to ask about lifestyle changes than younger children. Parents responded to children’s questions by providing realistic explanations (48%) and reassurance (20%). Only 18% of children’s questions were explanation-seeking “why” and “how” questions. Parents were more likely to provide explanations if children’s questions were explanation-seeking. Family activities such as playing games and cooking were the most common coping strategies reported by parents (69.2%). The findings have important implications for children’s learning about the coronavirus and how adults can support children’s learning and help them develop coping strategies in different sociocultural contexts.

Authors: Shrestha Sunil Babu , Shrestha Bijan , Shrestha Marina Vaidya
Published: October 2021

Urbanization is growing in Nepal at a rapid pace with an increasing number of municipalities. Due to rapid urbanization, agricultural lands have been converting into buildings and infrastructures. This has negatively impacted the urban environment with decreased greeneries, open space, local food production, and groundwater recharge. In this context, this study aimed to explore the opportunity of roof-top hydroponics for urban agriculture in Godawari Municipality. A questionnaire survey was done in ward-14 of Godawari Municipality from November 2018 to December 2018 with a sample size of 64 households. A stratified random sampling method was applied for the household selection. Out of 64 respondents, 45 (71.31%) achieved high opportunity scores based on eight factors: Space, Willingness, Affordability, Manpower, Time, Knowledge, Technology, and Acceptance with incentives. Thus, roof-top hydroponics has a high opportunity for practicing urban agriculture to provide greeneries, fresh vegetables and fruits to the city dwellers locally in Godawari Municipality for realizing the concept of Food Green City.

Published: October 2021

Ageing is a natural process. The elderly population is increasing in Nepal.When there is presence of diseases, physical inability, and financial harshness, the elderly in Nepal have to face many problems. This study was thus conducted to assess the socio-economic milieu and spectrum of gynaecological problems among women living in old age homes of Kathmandu valley. For this a cross sectional study was conducted in 21old age homes of three districts of Kathmandu valley. In this study, they were 234 particants. Privacy and confidentiality of information about the individual were strictly maintained. One-third of the aged women living in the old age homes belonged to 70-80 years.50.9% were from outside Kathmandu valley, while 49.1% were from the valley. The elderly were mostly not visited by their relatives and friends. Most of them (74.4%) were interested in praying than other activities. Out of the total Urine samples (190), 68.4% were normal, and 9.4% had a urinary tract infection. There were only 15.6% uterine prolapse cases. Out of total, 70.9% of Pap smear report was normal, while 25.1% had inflammatory smear. This study revealed that the old age homes have become a shelter for most of elderly women. The socio-economic condition was poor. Gynaecological probems like UTI, Urinary incontinence were not high but the prolapse cases (uterine proplase, cystocele, rectocele) were remarkably high. Cervical cancer screening through Pap smear showed negative results.
Paternal Influence on the Developmental Pathways of Maternal Parenting Stress, Home Learning Stimulation, and Children’s Social Skills in the U.S. and Korea: A Moderated Mediation Model1
Authors: Kim Jaehee , Lee Jiwon
Published: October 2021

To increase the specificity in paternal influence as the importance caregiving context on mothers and children, we aimed to test 1) whether the mediation effect of maternal parenting stress at age 3 on children’s social skills at age 9 via home learning stimulation at age 5 was significant; 2) whether this mediation effect varied according to paternal involvement and depression at age 3; and 3) whether this proposed path was culturally generalizable. To examine causal pathways and compare differences between two cultures, we analyzed the proposed moderated mediation models using nationally representative longitudinal data from the U.S. (the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study) and Korea (the Panel Study on Korean Children) using SPSS 25 and PROCESS. We found that in both countries, higher maternal parenting stress at age 3 hindered the development of school-aged children’s social skills through lower levels of home-learning stimulation. We also found cultural differences: paternal involvement significantly buffered the negative effects of maternal parenting stress in Korea, while paternal mental health (i.e., non-depression) played that buffering role in the U.S. This study illustrates both the cross-cultural generalizability and culture-specific aspects of family processes, then discusses some theoretical implications and potential practices that would better support families in promoting their children’s social development.

Total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a highly complex procedure. Evidence suggests laparoscopic-assisted PD (LAPD) might be an important link in the process of transition from open PD to total laparoscopic PD. We present the first successful LAPD in a female patient with distal cholangiocarcinoma at Songklanagarind Hospital, Thailand in July 2018. The postoperative course was satisfactory without the clinical relevance of complications. No evidence of recurrence was found after 35 months of follow-up. The results ensured the feasibility and safety of LAPD in the initial phase; regarding both complications and oncological outcomes in a high-volume center for open PD.

Published: October 2021

The relevance of the work is determined by the need to improve the properties of the road pavement layers. Under conditions of increasing carrying capacity of vehicles and traffic intensity, pavements designed and constructed in accordance with the regulatory documents are destroyed without reaching the required service life. The pavement reinforcement with chemical fibers is one of the ways to solve this problem. The aim of this work is to study the structure formation of dispersion reinforcement of the pavement layers made of organomineral mixtures. Theoretical calculations are presented for the structural formation with directional reinforcement by using meshes and interlayers with dispersed reinforcement. It is shown that directional reinforcement of the structural layers provides compensation of tensile stresses only at the bottom layer, where the mesh locates. At the edges of the deflection bowl in the upper layer, tensile stresses are not compensated because the reinforcing mesh locates at the bottom layer. With dispersed reinforcement, chemical fiber penetrates in the structural layer, including its top and perceive tensile loads and reduce the likelihood of cracking. The implementation of the liquidphase method of dispersed reinforcement of organomineral mixtures improves the bitumen adhesion to the fiber surface of the dispersed reinforcement.
Birchbark letters from Veliky Novgorod excavations of the year 2020
Authors: Gippius Alexey
Published: October 2021

The article is a preliminary publication of fourteen birchbark letters found in Veliky Novgorod during the archaeological season of 2020. With the exception of Nо. 1135 (mid-12th century), the published documents date back to the 14th — first half of the 15th century. Despite the fragmented state of most of the texts, their overall content can be plausibly reconstructed. The most important historically are No. 1122/1123 — a draft of a testament, where a number of characters known from the chronicle and charters can be identifi ed, and No. 1132 — a fragment of a petition mentioning the troops sent to Zavolochye. Also noteworthy are two letters written by the same hand, No. 1128 — an offi cial declaration of damages caused by the construction of a dam, and No. 1130 — a note accompanying a batch of sturgeon. In No. 1131, the address formula of a private letter is continued by a glossolalic text of obscure pragmatics. From a phonetic point of view, the following phenomena are signifi cant: вьѥстка (No. 1132) is a rare case of refl ecting the diphthongic pronunciation of /ě/ in writing; ево (No. 1124) is an early example of the transition from /g/ to /v/ in the Gen. sg. masc.-neut. ending of pronouns and adjectives; the allegro form хошь (No. 1126). A new syntactic pattern is discerned where a group of relatives is described by a simple juxtaposition (на Ѻсташки на єго дѣтехъ ‘Ostashka’s [and] his children’s [debt]’). In the fi eld of vocabulary, the following features are remarkable: the previously unknown name for the measure of volume лубъ-пятерикъ (No. 1122/23), an early example of the expressive diminutive pattern as in шатришко (No. 1126), a bookish adverb поистинѣ used in a business document (No. 1128), the word хребетъ denoting sturgeon balyk (No. 1130), a reconstructed collocation сѣрая куна ‘grey marten’ (No. 1133) — a parallel to the черная куна ‘black marten’ known from Povest’ Vremennykh Let, and the earliest occurrence of the word розметъ ‘breakdown of payments’(No. 1135).
Interessenvertretung in globalen Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken – Theoretische Perspektiven und empirische Befunde
Authors: Lohmeyer Nora , Sydow Jörg
Published: October 2021

Globale Wertschöpfungsnetzwerke haben als Organisationsform ökonomischer Aktivitäten in den letzten Jahrzehnten deutlich an Bedeutung gewonnen. Zurückgeblieben ist demgegenüber trotz der massiven Betroffenheit vieler Interessengruppen – nicht nur, aber besonders der Beschäftigten – eine effektive Vertretung der Interessen. Dies gilt zwar auch für die zumeist im globalen Norden angesiedelten Leitunternehmen solcher Netzwerke, mehr aber noch für die an den Netzwerkrändern im globalen Süden zu verortenden Organisationen. Gleichwohl finden sich hier wie dort Ansatzpunkte für eine effektive Vertretung nicht nur, aber vor allem der Interessen von Beschäftigten.
