Using of Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm Approach for Optimal Weight Design Problem of the Spur Gear
Authors: GÖKÇE Harun
Published: October 2024

Gears are undoubtedly the most important parts of motion transmission. One way to increase the motion performance of the system is to reduce the weights of the gears without sacrificing the strength capability. Today, various optimization techniques that rely heavily on analytical and heuristic approaches are used for this problem. In this study, the gear optimization problem in accordance with the minimum weight was solved with Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA). Introduced in recent years, GOA is a meta-heuristic optimization technique that stands out with its successful performance in engineering applications. This approach was used in a spur gear formation case as per the minimum weight for the first time. Compared to previous studies, the results obtained in this paper show that it is possible to design a lighter gear with GOA.

Ecological Factors Shaping Marine Actinobacterial Niches in Diverse Coastal Habitats of the Andamans Sea, India
Authors: Gobalakrishnan Rajagopal , Sivakumar Kannan
Published: October 2024

Marine microbial communities are structured by the spatial temporal, variability of physico-chemical, and biotic parameters. These parameters form a useful tool for the ecological assessment and monitoring of coastal ecosystems. The present investigation aims to study the influence of the physico-chemical parameters on the distributional variations of culturable actinobacterial population density, at six different locations on the Havelock Island coast of the Andamans, India. The study covered the important parameters viz. temperature in air (29–23°C), surface water (26–24°C), sediments (27–23°C), salinity in water (18–35 psu), sediments (17–34 psu), pH in water (6–8) and sediments (7.6–8.7), dissolved oxygen (DO) (4.60–2.10 ml l−1), electrical conductivity (EC) (2–5.5 dS m−1), nitrogen (N) (0.55–8 mg g−1), potassium (K) (2.63–10.88 mg g−1), phosphorus (P) (4.50–3.13 mg g−1), total organic carbon (TOC) (60.88–11.88 mg g−1), sand (65–95%), silt (3.5–9.4%), and clay (1.2–30%). Culturable actinobacterial population density in the sediments ranged from 8 × 103 to 21 × 103 CFU g−1, registering the higher value at station 4 (mangrove) and the lower value at station 3 (beach). Cluster and principal component analysis (PCA) results have revealed that the mangrove environment favors a higher density of actinobacteria than the coral, seagrass, and beach habitats of the Island.

Published: October 2024

Antennas are essential and crucial components of radar and wireless communication systems, but sometimes their inability to adapt to new operating conditions can hamper system performance. These limitations can be mitigated or eliminated, and reconfigurable antennas can bring new levels of functionality to any system by enabling it to modify its behavior in response to changing system requirements or environmental conditions. Depending on the physical property that makes the antenna reconfigurable, the antennist needs to choose very precise reconfiguration techniques and also the necessary polarization circuits. In accordance with the reconfigurability functions they offer, reconfigurable antennas can be classified into one of four categories: frequency reconfiguration, radiation pattern reconfiguration, polarization reconfiguration and hybrid reconfiguration. This classification will be presented in this chapter, preceded by the principle and main reconfiguration techniques encountered in the literature, as well as the polarization circuits of the active elements required.

Published: October 2024

Accurate measurement of thermal properties of fluids and nanofluids is essential for optimizing performance and necessitating advanced techniques. Traditional methods, including transient and steady-state techniques, have limitations such as longer testing times and larger sample sizes. Optical methods, like beam displacement and laser interferometry, provide non-invasive, high-resolution measurements of temperature fields and thermal conductivity. The beam displacement method is an optical technique that relies on the deviation of a beam caused by changes in the refractive index of fluids due to temperature variations. Other optical method likes laser interferometry enhance accuracy and efficiency by reducing reliance on thermocouples and capturing real-time data. The advanced measurement methods provide reliable data essential for optimizing fluids and nanofluids applications in various industrial and engineering contexts. This chapter discusses different methods measuring the thermal functionality of fluids and nano-fluids with a focus on optical non-invasive methods.

Published: October 2024

Football has changed drastically, and currently teams can play up to 70 games in a season. This means one game, on average, every 4 days, and there is no space for pre-season. However, there may be periods of multiple games every 3 days. This congestion of games increases the incidence of injuries, which has a strong impact on the team’s success during the season. Furthermore, it is not possible to develop a methodology to achieve peak performance, but rather development and maintenance of performance. This congestion is unprecedented in football, and there is no literature describing how to manage the workload in teams with this profile. In this chapter, we will present a real case of game congestions and its associated contextual variables. We then make suggestions on how to implement resistance training with the aim of improving/or maintain performance and mitigating the incidence of injuries. This chapter presents practical examples from which coaches and physical trainers can gain insights to apply in their day-to-day professional practice.
Implementation of an Enhanced Security Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Sebothoma Puseletso , Mathonsi Topside Ehleketani
Published: October 2024

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become increasingly important due to their widespread accessibility and affordability. However, they face challenges such as limited power resources, high bandwidth requirements, and security threats like Denial-of-Sleep (DoS) attacks. This chapter proposes a new security solution called Dysfunction Sensor Detection-Rivest-Shamir-Adleman Algorithm (DSD-RSA) to address these challenges. DSD-RSA aims to improve network throughput, reduce power consumption, and minimize end-to-end latency in WSNs. This was achieved by incorporating Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), and Synchronous Medium Access Control (S-MAC) when designing the proposed DSD-RSA algorithm. DSD-RSA outperformed traditional algorithms in terms of energy consumption, end-to-end delay, and throughput. DSD-RSA achieved an average energy consumption of 30%, compared to 50% for WSN-FAHN, 35% for GA-DoSLD, and 45% for GSHMAC. DSD-RSA also demonstrated superior performance in terms of end-to-end delay and throughput.
Perspective Chapter: Entrepreneurial Coaching as a Framework for Enhancing Participation and Lifelong Learning in Preschool Education
Authors: Gumula Rafaelsen Vivi , Håkansson Lindqvist Marcia , Seikkula-Leino Jaana
Published: October 2024

This chapter proposes a comprehensive framework for entrepreneurial coaching to investigate its pivotal role in fostering participation in preschool education. The chapter makes a significant contribution to academic discourse by emphasizing two primary areas: firstly, by underscoring the essential nature of active participation in early childhood education and the need to provide equal developmental opportunities within preschool environments; and secondly, by introducing a theoretical framework for entrepreneurial coaching that aims to elevate teaching practices in preschool education. Entrepreneurial coaching, which integrates perspectives from psychology, sociology, entrepreneurship, and pedagogy, seeks to enhance participation, promote lifelong learning, establish inclusive and safe learning environments, and eradicate educational discrimination, all of which align with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education). This chapter endeavors to bridge the gap between understanding participation as a child’s capacity to influence their own learning and recognizing participation as a fundamental democratic right. It illustrates how preschool educators can create conditions conducive to participation by embedding concepts such as belongingness, availability, interaction, recognition, commitment, and autonomy into their pedagogical practices. Participation is conceptualized as both an individual and organizational responsibility that is indispensable for ensuring equal opportunities for lifelong learning. Entrepreneurial coaching emerges as a vital tool for preschool educators, equipping them to cultivate participation effectively at both individual and systemic levels.
Perspective Chapter: Slow Pedagogy Approach vs Hurried Schooling in Early Childhood
Authors: Mousena Eleni , Raptis Nikolaos
Published: October 2024

It is commonly known that preschool children are interested in exploring the world and learn by playing freely and experimenting. On the other hand, it is necessary to organize learning systematically so that young people acquire knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes required for life in today’s rapidly changing and demanding environment. Nowadays, there is an intensification of school learning, the starting of which is increasingly being shifted to younger ages, a phenomenon that is described in the literature as the crisis of kindergarten. On the basis of the reflections on the intensification of education, this chapter analyses the approach of “Slow Science - Slow Pedagogy Approach”, as a movement that supports students’ meaningful, dialectical, reflective, and enjoyable understanding of the world and that contributes to the promotion of their creativity and well-being. The reasoning of the essay is based on the meaning of the Slow Science Manifesto.
Test Anxiety Among Czech Pupils in Lower-Secondary Education
Authors: Šejna Erik
Published: October 2024

Test anxiety remains a compelling focus of contemporary research. This attention may be, in part, due to the continued reliance on high-stakes testing, which plays a pivotal role in students' academic trajectories. Our research had several objectives. Given the lack of research on test anxiety in the Czech Republic, our primary aim was to adapt and validate the Children's Test Anxiety Scale (CTAS) on a sample of 740 lower-secondary students (ages 13-15). The results demonstrated adequate construct validity, supporting the three-factor model of the CTAS. Moreover, we investigated the relationship between test anxiety, academic self-concept, and educational outcomes alongside other demographic variables. Our findings revealed a strong negative correlation linking students' academic self-concept and test anxiety. Although no direct correlation emerged between test anxiety and educational outcomes, a linear regression indicated a significant shift: educational outcomes (grades) became significant predictors when considered in conjunction with academic selfconcept. Additionally, our study confirmed a significant impact of gender on test anxiety levels (girls exhibited higher test anxiety than boys) and a modest but significant correlation with parental educational background.

Authors: Yalçınkaya Iyidal Ayşegül , Erduran Funda , Hayran Yıldız , Sücüllü Karadağ Yeşim
Published: October 2024

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is primarily characterized by motor symptoms, but non-motor symptoms, including skin manifestations, are increasingly recognized. These remain underexplored despite their potential impact on quality of life. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and clinical features of skin findings in PD patients, with a focus on identifying potential pathogenetic links between dermatological conditions and PD. Methods: A total of 215 PD patients were included. Comprehensive dermatological examinations were performed, and demographic and clinical data were collected. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 23.0, with significance set at P < 0.05. Results: Skin conditions were found in 92.1% of PD patients. Xerosis, seborrheic dermatitis, and hyperhidrosis were the most common findings. Pre-PD xerosis was associated with an earlier stage of PD (P = 0.001). Use of PD medications, such as levodopa/carbidopa/entacapone, was linked to a lower incidence of seborrheic dermatitis (P = 0.040). A significant correlation was also noted between rosacea and cherry angioma (P = 0.01). Conclusion: Dermatological conditions are prevalent in PD and may precede its motor symptoms. Skin assessments could aid early diagnosis and management of PD, highlighting the need for further research on their pathogenetic mechanisms.

Authors: Sreevidya Suresh M , Kethireddi Susmitha Divya , Sambangi Jahnavi , Guruprasad Patnala
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Dermoscopy is an important noninvasive tool that helps to determine the stability and activity of vitiligo. Various dermoscopic findings help classify the disease as stable or unstable. This is important for the management of the disease, as surgical management requires disease stability. Objectives: We aimed to describe the dermoscopic findings in vitiligo and to assess the frequency of various dermoscopic findings in stable and unstable vitiligo. Methods: This was a hospital-based, cross-sectional, descriptive study of 100 vitiligo patients and various dermoscopic findings. Results are expressed as percentages. Results:  The most common dermoscopic findings in stable vitiligo patches were sharp border,  marginal and perifollicular pigmentation, and reticulate pigment network. Findings such as polka dot appearance, starburst appearance, comet tail, and satellite lesions were seen in unstable vitiligo patches. Conclusions: Dermoscopy is extremely helpful in determining the stability of vitiligo patches.
Effectiveness and Nephrotoxicity of Polymyxin B among Intensive Care Unit Patients: A Clinical Evaluation
Authors: Moki Claire , Kigen Gabriel , Busakhala Naftali
Published: October 2024

Polymyxin B is a reserve antibiotic, but there has been an upsurge in its use due to a rise in multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria. However, nephrotoxicity and resistance concerns persist, with global resistance rates reaching 29%. Effectiveness of Polymyxin B (clinical and microbiological response) and the frequency of nephrotoxicity is not well documented in resource limited settings. Research is essential to guide optimization of Polymyxin B therapy and inform the adoption of measures for early detection of kidney injury to prevent damage. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Polymyxin B by evaluating clinical and microbiological responses and determining nephrotoxicity incidence using KDIGO criteria in ICU patients at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH). A prospective observational cohort study was conducted at MTRH ICUs between December 2021 and November 2022, on patients treated with Polymyxin B. Data on demographics, comorbidities, Polymyxin B dosage regimens, clinical responses, and microbiological results were collected. Descriptive statistics summarized patient characteristics, while associations between dosage regimens and outcomes were evaluated using Fisher's exact test and multivariate regression, with a p<0.05 considered statistically significant. Forty-four patients with a mean age of 48 years were included; 66% were male, and cerebrovascular disease was the most common comorbidity. All patients had multidrug-resistant gram-negative infections qualifying for Polymyxin B therapy. Most (89%) received monotherapy, with 86% achieving a good clinical response, 7% experiencing treatment failure, and 7% dying. Doses of 20,000–25,000 IU/Kg/day were associated with microbiological eradication and good clinical response (p<0.001), while 15,000 IU/Kg/day was associated with treatment failure. Acute kidney injury occurred in 48% of patients, with 68% developing hypomagnesemia. Polymyxin B at doses of between 20,000-25,000IU/Kg/day should be considered as a starting dose due to the association with good clinical response, with alternate-day monitoring of serum creatinine levels for early detection of nephrotoxicity.

Published: October 2024

Introduction In Chile, there is a high prevalence of obesity, and most people have an inadequate quality of food. Food environments can constitute barriers that prevent healthy food choices and lead to overweight and obesity, as well as diet-related non-communicable diseases. There are international instruments that allow the characterization of food environments. In Chile, there are no studies on the perception of food environments. This study aimed to characterize the perception of obesogenicity of food environments in the urban Chilean population using an instrument previously validated in Chile. Methods This is a cross-sectional study with probabilistic sampling. The "Perceived Nutrition Environment Measures Survey", based on the Chilean model of food environments, was applied to 256 participants from two urban communities of the Metropolitan Region. Scores were calculated for the instrument items, which allowed calculating scores by environments included in the Chilean model of Food Environments. Negative scores were related to a higher obesogenic level. Results The results show that the domestic food environment is perceived as less obesogenic (median of 15.8 points), with more than 90% of households having fruits, vegetables, and legumes, even though the supply food environment was negative (median -0.19 points). However, about 50% of households had ultra-processed foods. The street food environment was perceived as the most obesogenic (median -1.91 points), with more than 60% of the participants indicating difficulty finding healthy options. Conclusions According to the level of obesogenicity of the environments studied, it is necessary to have public policies that improve them and ensure the availability and physical and economic access to healthy food, particularly in the food supply and public road environments.

Teaching practice and student mentoring
Authors: SINA Zenel , TRESKA Tomi , IVZIKU Lindita
Published: October 2024

Practice in relation to theory developed in classrooms is currently a very significant aspect in the formation of teacher-students. The priorities of education as a lifelong process for the individual orient the study programs towards life training. This paper deals with the lecturer-mentor relationship as an essential factor in developing teaching practices during the years of study. We have used thaw qualitative research methodology, focusing on meta-analysis of previously conducted research in this field and study program materials. Semi structured interviews and meta-analyses of documents, processes, and professional attitudes are also included. The paper manages to understand that the lecturer and the mentor are disconnected from the focus on the student, from the theoretical to the practical preparation, from the method to the curriculum and from the pupil to the student. This separation is also reflected in the distancing of education faculties from schools and lecturers from teachers. The reasoning comes from the analysis and comparison of the practice development processes, from the competencies of the lecturers who develop the practice, the physical time and the lecturer’s responsibility. On the other hand, the mentor teacher does not feel motivated in this process. He feels worried that the student’s involvement in the lesson disrupts the process and the result of the class. The paper contains recommendations addressed to the faculties of education, departments and pedagogues who lead the practices as well as schools and mentor teachers who are involved in this process.

Working Meaningfully With Older Adults in Psychotherapy: Memory, Autobiography, Self, and the Conversational Model
Authors: Roser Lindsay
Published: October 2024

As the population of older adults increases, a growing number of older people will seek psychotherapy and counselling in the coming years. Therefore, therapists should deepen their understanding of the unique developmental challenges that accompany the later years. While varying approaches and theoretical frameworks exist for how to understand these developmental challenges and work in a way that promotes wellbeing, therapy with older adults remains an under-explored area. This paper outlines my clinical observations while working with a single man in his mid-70s who started seeing me for long-term psychotherapy. It explores the intersection of memory, autobiography, self, and ego integration and contributes to the discussion about how to work meaningfully with older adults. I hypothesise that working with our clients to compose an autobiographical consciousness that can be narrated and witnessed by an empathic other could be an important aspect of ego integration. This is because narrative is a meaning-making tool that facilitates one’s sense of self and promotes the process of reconciliation with the past and direction towards the future. This exploration is situated within the framework of the Conversational Model of psychotherapy developed by Robert Hobson and Russell Meares.
ТІЛ БІЛІМІ САЛАСЫНДАҒЫ ЭНАНТИОСЕМИЯ ТҮРЛЕРІ

Мақалада тіл білімі саласындағы энантиосемия түрлері және зерттелуі қарастырылады.
Энантиосемия - қарама-қарсы мағыналардың бір тілдік бірлігінің реңктерінің немесе контекстке байланысты болатын мағыналардың тіркесімі.
Лексикалық семантика категориялары жүйесіндегі энантиосемияның орны туралы сұрақ даулы, өйткені лингвистер бұл құбылысты антонимия, омонимия, полисемияның (көп мағыналықтың) бір түрі немесе өзіндік ерекшелігі бар лексикалық-семантикалық категория ретінде қарастыру керек деген ортақ пікірге келді.
Функционалдық ерекшеліктеріне қарай, яғни үстейтін не көрсететін мағынасына қарай энантиосемияны екі түрге бөліп қарастыруға болады: заттық (немесе номинативтік); эмоционалды-бағалауыштық қарама-қарсы мағына.
Номинативтік энантиосемия сөздердің мағынасының дамуы нәтижесінде пайда болады. Номинативтік лексикалық энантиосемия кезінде алғы шепке әр түрлі заттар, құбылыстар, іс-қимылдарды және т.б. көрсететін мағыналар шығады. Осы тип негізінен етістіктерге тән. Олардың кейбіреуі әр түрлі обьектілерге қатысты қолданылады, соның нәтижесінде қарама-қарсылыққа ие болады.
Қазақ тілінің нақты тілдік деректеріне сүйене отырып, номинативтік энантиосемияның өнімсіз, ал эмоционалды бағалауыштық энантиосемияның өнімді екендігіне көз жеткізе аламыз. Қазақ тіліндегі ақылды, керемет, тамаша, дос, сұлу сияқты энантиосемияның жуық арада пайда болғандығын көруімізге болады. Erep олар бастапқы кезде жағымды қолданылатын болса, қазіргі уақытта олар жағымсыз мағынада (ирониялық) қолданылатынын көреміз.
Энантиосемиялы сөздердің тағы бір жасалу жолы сөздердің тырнақша ішінде берілуімен сипатталады. Сөздерді қарама-қарсы мағынасы тырнақша ішінде беріледі, ал негізгі мағынасы тырнақшасыз жазылады. Тырнақшамен берілген сөздің астарында ирония жатады.
Энантиосемия эвфемияның құралы ретінде де қолданылуы мүмкін.
Сонымен қатар дезинформацияда да энантиосемия құбылысы байқалады. Дезинформация – «шындықты қасақана жалған етіп беру»

Published: October 2024

Türkiye-Yunanistan arasında gerçekleşen mübadele, her iki ülkede de yaşayan insanlar için zorlu geçmiştir. Yaşanan zorunlu göç nedeni ile evlerinin, hayatlarının, yaşam biçimlerinin de değiştiği bir süreç olmuştur.
Osmanlı egemenliğinde yaşayan fakat nüfus oranı olarak Ege bölgesinde, özellikle Yunanistan’da yoğunlaşan Rumlar 19.yy da etkisini yoğun olarak hissettirmiştir. Rumlar, Osmanlı devletine karşı ayaklanmalar başlatmış ve ardından büyük devletlerin desteğiyle hâkimiyet alanlarını sürekli genişletmişlerdir.
30 Ocak 1923 tarihinde sözleşme imzalanmış ve bu protokolle Yunanistan’da yerleşik Müslümanlar ile Türkiye’de yerleşik Ortodoks Rumların zorunlu göçü ön görülmüştür. Mübadele esnasında insanlar dış etkilerin karşısında savunmasız kalmış ve dışlanmışlarıdır. Ayrıca, mübadele sürecindeki Müslümanlar ile mülteciler arasındaki sorunun nedeni, mültecileri barındırma ve besleme yükümlülüğünün Yunanistan’daki Müslümanların büyük bir kısmının yaşam koşullarını zorlaştırmış olmasıdır. Mübadillerin nakil sonrası iskânlarının sağlanması, o zamanın şartları göz önüne alındığında ciddi bir iskân sorununu gündeme getirmiştir. Hükümetlerce mübadeleyle gelen göçmenlerin ihtiyaçlarını sağlayabilmek amacıyla çeşitli hazırlıklar yapılmıştır.
Bu nedenle Rumlardan kalan yerleşim yerlerini oturulabilir hale getirmek, hayatlarını sürdürebilmeleri için 13 Ekim 1923’de Mübadele, İmar ve İskân Vekâleti kurulmuştur.
Bu çalışmasında 1923-1924 mübadele sonrası Niğde İli Yeşilburç (Tenei) Köyü’ne göç eden mübadillerin yaşamış oldukları zorluklarına tanıklık eden kişiler tarafından sosyal, kültürel ve ekonomik hayatları veriler ışığında sunulmuştur. Mübadillerin yerleşmiş oldukları Yeşilburç köyüne gelenek ve göreneklerini taşımışlar ve çeşitli Rumca şarkılarını dile getirmişlerdir. Bu da günümüze kadar gelmiştir.
bildiri, Niğde ilindeki mübadillerin halen kültürel varlığını sürdürdüklerinin sergilenmesi açısından önem arz etmektedir.

CULTURE OF HISTORICAL MEMORY OF MODERN GERMAN MONARCHISM
Authors: Kyrchanoff Maksym W.
Published: October 2024

The article examines monarchism as a form of memorial culture and historical policy in contemporary German society. The research aims to analyze monarchism as a form of historical memory. The author explores the role and significance of monarchist intellectuals in shaping historical policy and the memorial culture that evolves within the framework of monarchist historical imagination. The novelty of the study lies in examining the current stage of monarchist ideology in Germany, not as a form of political participation, but as a version of historical memory and memorial culture, grounded in the principles of both historical revisionism and German nationalism. The article demonstrates that (1) monarchism in contemporary Germany cultivates its own perceptions of the past and history; (2) the historical imagination of German monarchism is a form of historical revisionism, as the monarchist past and legacy are systematically mythologized and ideologized in the political imagination of monarchist supporters; (3) in its historical imagination, monarchism constructs alternative versions of historical memory and memorial culture, distinct from those proposed by civic identity. The article highlights that monarchist forms of historical memory contribute to ongoing transformations in memorial culture, promoting the parallel development of alternative counter-memories that operate within the political and ideological framework of monarchism. It is suggested that the visualization of collective historical memory regarding the unique historical experience of monarchy, including the narrative and discursive tactics and strategies of contemporary monarchists, enhances the heterogeneous nature of Germany’s memorial tradition, fostering the consolidation of unique perspectives on the past, which form the foundation of monarchist historical imagination and memorial culture as a form of alternative memory.

The impact of breathing, perceptivity, imagination and creativity on oneness of mind and body in dance performance
Authors: Jiang Yayun , Abdullah Nur Qasdina Jeeta , Nordin Nordiana
Published: October 2024

Interest in the immersive expression of dancers in contemporary performances is growing, often relying on body knowledge and awareness. However, a noticeable gap exists in empirical research aimed at enhancing body awareness within the modern dance education system. The aim of this study is to investigate on the oneness of mind and body the influences of breathing, perceptivity, imagination, and creativity. Employing a quantitative research methodology, this study administered a questionnaire to 47 dance students at Hunan Women's University in Hunan Province, China. Regression studies carried out reveal a comparable positive and substantial association between creativity and the harmonization of mind and body as well as a positive and significant link between breathing and oneness of mind and body. Interestingly, the relationship between perceptivity, imagination, and the oneness of mind and body did not exhibit statistical significance. We posit that the lack of a significant relationship may be influenced by variables extending beyond the scope of dance, suggesting the need for deeper investigation in the future. These findings not only contribute to our knowledge of dance but also have practical implications for dancers, educators, and researchers in the field.

La relación entre temperamento y estilos de aprendizaje personalizan el proceso educativo adaptando las estrategias de enseñanza a las necesidades de los estudiantes. La investigación tiene el objetivo de determinar esta relación en una muestra de 351 estudiantes de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad Peruana Unión. Utilizando un diseño observacional, cuantitativo y transversal, se identifica el temperamento sanguíneo como dominante entre los participantes. Además, se observa que el estilo de aprendizaje más común es el asimilador, seguido del divergente. Se consideran dimensiones como la relación entre el temperamento y los estilos de aprendizaje, y la conexión entre estos y las competencias genéricas, destacando las competencias instrumentales. Los resultados indican que la educación integral tiene en cuenta la individualidad de cada estudiante, enfatizando la importancia de reconocer y valorar las diferencias individuales en el contexto de la evaluación del aprendizaje, lo que permite personalizar las estrategias de enseñanza.
