El caleidoscopio «bricoleur» en etnografías colaborativas : el caso de la Cruz de Mayo afroandina, valle de Azapa, Chile
Authors: Chávez González Nicole
Published: October 2022

El presente artículo aborda los inicios del concepto de bricoleur y sus implicancias en las investigaciones sociales cualitativas, específicamente en etnografías colaborativas al sumar nuevas herramientas, disciplinas y técnicas de representación. En este escrito se realiza un recorrido de la disciplina antropológica, hasta encontrar un punto de inflexión entre el bricolage y las metodologías colaborativas/participativas, desde lo teórico y lo empírico. Para ello, doy como ejemplo las decisiones y estrategias metodológicas que desarrollé en mi tesis de magister, las cuales consistieron en la producción de «escritos propios» y fotografías participativas, desarrollados por las y los participantes afrodescendientes, aymara y afroandinos del valle de Azapa, Arica, Chile. Por último, evidencio que el proceso etnográfico necesita también un constante ejercicio de autorreflexividad y cuestionamientos para dejar atrás el colonialismo y el extractivismo, y negociar así un compromiso de acción colectiva
«Mi colonia nació por invasión» : periferia y matria desde la mirada de niños y niñas en Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas
Authors: Casmiro Gallo Francesca Paola
Published: October 2022

El objetivo del artículo es analizar la mirada de niños y niñas, habitantes de la periferia de Tuxtla Gutiérrez (Chiapas), sobre sus matrias, es decir, sus territorios familiares, las colonias de procedencia. Después de una breve contextualización del área urbana donde está ubicada la comunidad escolar primaria El Quetzal, con quien se ha llevado a cabo la investigación, se construyen dos categorías: periferia y matrias. El proyecto ha requerido de una metodología colaborativa en línea con las necesidades de las madres de familia: la organización de círculos de lectura con niños, acciones educativas pensadas desde la educación popular, la investigación-acción participativa (IAP) y las recientes metodologías colaborativas que se han desarrollado en México y América Latina.
Experiencias desde el proceso etnográfico colaborativo y feminista con organizaciones de mujeres indígenas
Authors: Arteaga Böhrt Ana Cecilia
Published: October 2022

Desde un enfoque etnográfico, reflexivo y teórico, hago referencia a cuatro procesos colectivos promovidos por mujeres indígenas (dos en México y dos en Bolivia), que centran sus esfuerzos en la prevención de la violencia de género, la participación política femenina y la defensa de sus derechos colectivos e individuales. Narro y analizó el acompañamiento que realicé a estas cuatro experiencias organizativas, considerando cómo apliqué una metodología colaborativa y comprometida, con un enfoque feminista comunitario y descolonial. Contemplando estas metodologías y enfoques, también desarrollo lo colaborativo como compromiso político, contemplando los aportes que se logran desde una participación activa de las actoras sociales, así como los limitantes y desafíos que enfrentamos como académicas en los procesos colectivos de producción de conocimientos.

Published: October 2022

UMKM di Indonesia menguasai 99% pasar di Indonesia, di Kota Tangerang sendiri tercatat 94 ribu pelaku UMKM yang terverifikasi Dinas Perindustrian Perdagangan Koperasi dan UKM pada Tahun 2020. Umumnya UMKM memiliki keterbatasan sumber daya manusia dalam pencatatan keuangan, akuntansi dan pajak, hal tersebut karena UMKM lebih mengedepankan proses penjualan produk. Hal tersebut merupakan risiko dalm hal kepatuhan pajak yang berdampak pada pemeriksaan pajak dan akhirnya tax cost yang akan menguras kantong pelaku UMKM sendiri. Dari sisi regulator, Pemerintah sebenarnya telah menerbitkan aturan dalam mengatasi keterbatasan tersebut. Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 46 Tahun 2013 yang kini diganti dengan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 23 Tahun 2018 memberikan kemudahan bagi pelaku UMKM dalam menjalankan hak dan kewajiban perpajakan. Kegiatan Pengabdian Masyarakat ini disampaikan kepada pelaku UMKM di Kota Tangerang untuk membantu Direktorat Jenderal Pajak dalam sosialisasi aturan dan prosedur perpajakan khususnya penghitungan Pajak Penghasilan dan Risiko Pemeriksaan serta membantu UMKM yang selama ini kurang mendapatkan informasi tersebut.
COMUNIDADE E O MITO DO INDIVIDUALISMO MODERNO
Authors: Morais Edlene Maria Neri de , Zaidan Filho Michel
Published: October 2022

Este artigo trata de uma discussão em torno da relação que existia entre os indivíduos nas comunidades primitivas e aquela decorrente do surgimento do Estado Moderno e Liberal. As implicações no modo de vida das pessoas, no que diz respeito à produção de bens materiais necessários à subsistência, bem como às oriundas das sensações, sentimentos e desejos vivenciados ao longo da história são avaliados, tomando como base alguns estudos dos atores aqui contemplados: Harari, Benjamin, Foucault e Habermas. De forma que, a análise e estudo histórico de uma estética da existência se vislumbra um novo modelo de subjetivação, que implique na recuperação e/ou mesmo no fortalecimento da relação que o sujeito constitui consigo mesmo, com o mundo e com os outros. Essa seria uma alternativa na formulação de uma comunidade ética, que se baseie no cuidado de si (prática de si), como um novo estilo de vida, cuja finalidade seria a cidade.

Oceanographic conditions and analysis of walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma fishery in the Navarin area in 2017–2021
Authors: Gritsay E. V. , Stepanenko M. A.
Published: October 2022

The northwestern Bering Sea, in particular the waters at Cape Navarin, is one of the main areas of the walleye pollock fishery. Environmental variability in the Bering Sea affects on recruitment, abundance, behavior, and seasonal spatial distribution of pollock, which challenge on the fishery management strategy. Understanding of environmental-driven changes in the pollock population has to improve predictions of the population dynamics and affect positively on the commercial harvest. The pollock from the eastern Bering Sea migrate to the Navarin area in summer-fall season. This study demonstrates that great annual differences in the migration activity, spatial distribution of pollock and fishery are related with oceanographic conditions, zooplankton productivity, the population reproduction, year-classes abundance and total biomass. Appearance of the relatively abundant year-classes in 2017–2020 may lead to some increase in commercial part of the pollock population in 2022–2024.
Design of Class I/IV Bromodomain-Targeting Degraders for Chromatin Remodeling Complexes
Authors: Zahid Huda , Costello Jeff , Kimbrough Jennifer , Actis Marisa , Rankovic Zoran , Pomerantz William
Published: October 2022

Targeted protein degradation is an emerging technology that can be used for modulating the activity of epigenetic protein targets. Among bromodomain-containing proteins, a number of degraders for the BET family have been developed while non-BET bromodomains remain underexplored. Several of these proteins are subunits in chromatin remodeling complexes often associated with oncogenic roles. Here we describe the design of class I (BPTF and CECR2) and IV (BRD9) bromo-domain-targeting degraders based on two scaffolds derived from pyridazinone and pyrimidine-based heterocycles. We evalu-ate various exit vectors and linkers to identify analogues that demonstrate selectivity within these families. We further use an in-cell NanoBRET assay to demonstrate that these heterobifunctional molecules are cell-permeable, form ternary complexes, and can degrade nanoluciferase-bromodomain fusions. Finally, as a first example of a CECR2 degrader, we observe that our pyrimidine-based analogues degrade endogenous CECR2, while showing a smaller effect on BPTF levels. The pyridazinone-based compounds did not degrade BPTF when observed through western blotting, supporting a more challenging target for degradation and a goal for future optimization

Published: October 2022

Function-oriented design of supramolecular self-assemblies represents a foundational goal in chemistry. Especially, chromophore self-assemblies display extreme photophysical changes from their monomers that are sensitive to the nanoscale molecular arrangements. Slip-stacked arrangements in J-aggregates lead to red shifts (>200 nm) and enhanced quantum yields. Actively introducing specific molecular arrangements using supramolecular chemistry provides a platform to tune the excitonic couplings and avail exotic photophysical properties. However, the nanoscale molecular arrangements have not yet been directly observed in these solution-state assemblies. Here, we present a high-resolution structure of the prototypical biomimetic light harvesting nanotubes (LHNs) of an amphiphilic cyanine dye (C8S3-Cl). We achieve a 3.3 Å resolution with helical reconstruction of cryo-EM images, directly visualizing the atomic scale parameters and packing arrangements that control the excitonic properties. Our structure clearly shows a brick layer arrangement of the molecules as opposed to the previously thought herringbone arrangement. Furthermore, we identify a new non-biological supramolecular motif – interlocking sulfonates, that may be responsible for the slip-stacked packing and ultimately the J-aggregate nature of LHNs. This motif may be relevant towards other amphiphilic self-assemblies, in general and provides a new chemical handle on predictable self-assemblies.
Rheological and shipbuilding steel adhesion properties of antifouling AquaSun coating
Authors: Scolaro Cristina , Sfameni Silvia , Pagliaro Mario , Ciriminna Rosaria , Visco Annamaria
Published: October 2022

Rheological and mechanical comparative tests of the new AquaSun antifouling sol-gel coating coated on shipbuilding steel compared to a commercial silyl acrylate antifouling topcoat containing cuprous oxide and copper pyrithione show further evidence of the practical viability of this multifunctional coating for the protection of the immersed surfaces from biofouling. AquaSun is a less rigid or less viscous material than commercial topcoat, but more adherent to the steel substrate. The reason is linked to its lower viscosity and lower stiffness thanks to which it is able to adapt better to the steel surface through chemical bonds between the silanol groups in the organosilica sol and hydroxyl groups at the surface of steel. These results support further investigation of AquaSun as ecofriendly antifouling paint.

Published: October 2022

Electrochemical carbon capture and concentration (eCCC) offers a promising alternative to thermochemical processes as it circumvents the limitations of temperature-driven capture and release. This review will begin by discussing the history of eCCC, describing early work in the field and the motivation for pursuing such a process. We will then transition towards discussing more recent approaches, with a heavier emphasis on methods that employ redox mediators to facilitate CO2 capture and release. These methods rely more on optimization through chemical design and include pH-mediated systems, electrochemically-mediated amine regeneration, and direct capture with redox-active molecules. For each approach, we provide a general overview of the system, discuss redox mediator chemistries that have been studied in literature, and highlight requirements for future generations of redox mediators. We also describe previous demonstrations of each method and current cell/system designs that have been used at the lab-scale. To conclude, we summarize achievements in the field, current challenges, and opportunities for improving these technologies. Overall, this review is a comprehensive survey of the eCCC field and evaluates the chemical, theoretical, and electrochemical engineering aspects of this approach. We hope this work can be used to assist the community in the development of modern economical eCCC technologies that can be utilized in large-scale CCS processes.
Biological studies with comprehensive GCxGC-HRMS screening: Exploring the human sweat volatilome
Authors: Ripszam Matyas , Bruderer Tobias , Biagini Denise , Ghimenti Silvia , Lomonaco Tommaso , Di Francesco Fabio
Published: October 2022

A key issue in GCxGC-HRMS data analysis is how to approach large-sample studies in an efficient and comprehensive way. We have developed a semi-automated data-driven workflow from identification to suspect screening, which allows highly selective monitoring of each identified chemical in a large-sample dataset. The example dataset used to illustrate the potential of the approach consisted of human sweat samples from 40 participants, including field blanks (80 samples). These samples have been collected in a Horizon 2020 project to investigate the capacity of body odour to communicate emotion and influence social behaviour. We used dynamic headspace extraction, which allows comprehensive extraction with high preconcentration capability, and has to date only been used for a few biological applications. We found 325 sweat volatiles compared to 581 known skin volatiles, 107 of which matched perfectly with the literature, and 218 compounds (67%) novel sweat volatiles. Unlike partitioning-based extraction methods, the developed method detects semi-polar (log P < 2) nitrogen and oxygen-containing compounds. However, it is unable to detect certain acids due to the pH conditions of unmodified sweat samples. Using a single analytical method, our coverage of the boiling point and polarity space was comparable to the cumulative coverage of all the available 35 studies investigating skin volatiles with different analytical methods. We believe that our framework will open up the possibility of efficiently using GCxGC-HRMS for large-sample studies in a wide range of applications such as biological and environmental studies.
Generative model based on junction tree variational autoencoder for HOMO value prediction and molecular optimisation
Authors: Kondratyev Vladimir , Dryzhakov Marian , Gimadiev Timur , Slutskiy Dmitriy
Published: October 2022

In this work, we provide further development of the junction tree variational autoencoder (JT VAE) architecture in terms of implementation and application of the internal feature space of the model. Pretraining of JT VAE on a large dataset and further optimization with a regression model led to a latent space that can solve several tasks simultaneously: prediction, generation, and optimization. We use the ZINC database as a source of molecules for the JT VAE pretraining and the QM9 dataset with its HOMO values to show the application case. We evaluate our model on multiple tasks such as property (value) prediction, generation of new molecules with predefined properties, and structure modification toward the property. Across these tasks, our model shows improvements in generation and optimization tasks while preserving the precision of state-of-the-art models.

In this study, the effect of the project-based learning approach applied in the 6th grade music lessons of the secondary school on the students' learning outcomes and their attitudes towards the music lesson was examined. The study was carried out according to the pretest-posttest design with a control group, which is one of the semi-experimental models. The experimental and control groups of the study consisted of 44 (22+22) 6th grade students in secondary school. In the collection of study data, secondary school 6th grade music acquisition test and attitude scales towards music lesson were used. In the experimental group, the project-based learning approach was applied, and in the control group, experimental procedures were applied for 6 weeks in accordance with the instructions of the secondary school 6th grade music lesson curriculum of the Ministry of National Education. In the study, research measurement tools were applied to the experimental and control groups as pretest, posttest and retention test. According to the research findings, students in the experimental group to whom project-based learning approaches were applied achieved significantly higher music lesson achievements, attitudes and retention scores compared to their peers in the control groups.
Intolerance of Uncertainty in the Covid-19 Outbreak: A Study on Social Work Students in Konya
Authors: USTABAŞI GÜNDÜZ Dilara , AKARÇAY ULUTAŞ Demet
Published: October 2022

In addition to being a health problem, the Covid-19 epidemic also causes fundamental problems in areas such as the economy, social, political, and education at the global level. People continue to live daily with fears such as getting sick or losing their loved ones and exposure to severe traumatic effects. Social work students are among the negatively affected groups in this uncertain and risky environment. The definitions of social work students regarding the psychosocial outcomes of the pandemic process due to the education they receive will be able to emphasize a more specific point. This study aims to reveal the perceptions and attitudes of the students studying in the social work departments of universities in Konya towards the epidemic and their intolerance of uncertainty. Research results indicate that individuals show avoidance behavior because they cannot fully understand the causes of the disease. On the other hand, the perception that it is impossible to prevent the disease indicates a cognitive structure that it is not possible to avoid the disease. In addition, the importance of obtaining information about the disease and its prevention during the pandemic has emerged. Uncertainty in matters such as spread, contamination, and risk related to the disease is an important finding that increases anxiety. With this research, our leading suggestions are that medical social service authorities should take an active role in the context of public health and that the correct information should be delivered to young people through new generation media tools.
Clustering of Acoustic Events in Main Circulation Circuit of WWER 1000/1200 Reactor Facility Caused by Normal Technological Operations
Authors: Arkadov G. V. , Trykova I. V. , Kotsoev K. I.
Published: October 2022

The appearance of free, weakly fixed and foreign objects in the main circulation circuit is not ruled out in reactor plants with a pressurized water power reactor. These objects, moving in the coolant flow, can collide with the inner walls of the main circulation circuit, which can lead to equipment damage. Early detection of these objects will minimize damage and improve the safety of NPP operation. The reactor plant is equipped with a system for detecting loose/weakly fixed objects for this purpose. The main problem is a large number of false alarms arising from the registration of noise from the normal operation of the NPP. The paper considers the application of clustering algorithms to signals of the system for detecting loose/weakly fixed objects, which can significantly reduce the number of false alarms as it has been established that signals from the operation of standard equipment are highly repeatable. Then, having “trained” the system on a certain archive of data characterizing the regular functioning of the NPP, we can state that if the newly received signal falls into one of the clusters, then it reflects the normal functioning of the NPP, while the signals do not that fell into any of the clusters may be the result of the appearance of a loose / loosely fixed object, and this situation requires an immediate response from the personnel operating the NPP. This approach makes it possible to reduce the amount of the system for detecting loose/weakly fixed objects output information significantly, reduce the load on the operating personnel, improve the quality of decisions made and, accordingly, increase the safety of operation of the reactor plant as a whole.
Recent evidence on the illicit cigarette trade in Latin America
Authors: Drope Jeffrey , Rodriguez-Iglesias Germán , Stoklosa Michal , Szklo André
Published: October 2022

The tobacco industry continues to present the illicit trade of tobacco products as a reason to slow, stop, or reverse tobacco control efforts in Latin America, including increasing tobacco excise taxes. In most cases, industry estimates of illicit trade, usually non-transparent and flawed, dwarf those of independent, rigorous research. Often, independent studies find that the levels of illicit trade are mostly non-consequential or easily manageable (<12%). Almost always, industry findings grossly overestimate the illicit market. Fortunately, a burgeoning empirical literature in the region—including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Uruguay—is illuminating the genuine levels and nature of this trade, typically employing gap analysis that compares tax-paid sales to consumption and/or pack inspection studies using packs shown by smokers in surveys or discarded in the streets or garbage. Additional research in countries including Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Paraguay examines supply chains to help identify the illicit sources. This research is already helping governments to address any real problems with illicit trade and to reassure stakeholders that tobacco control efforts should be strengthened, not diminished.
Laws and regulations governing rotation of health warning labels on cigarette packs in the Region of the Americas
Authors: Alonso Fernanda , Welding Kevin , Cohen Joanna E.
Published: October 2022

Objectives.

To provide detailed information about how countries in the Region of the Americas are fulfilling the requirements set out in the guidelines for the implementation of Article 11 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in relation to the rotation of health warning labels and to identify possible challenges in the implementation of the laws or regulations governing the rotation.

Methods.

We first searched for and identified all the relevant laws or regulations pertaining to health warning labels on cigarette packs in 24 countries and territories in the Region of the Americas. We then analyzed these documents to see whether the requirements in the guidelines of the WHO Convention were being met, identifying similarities and differences across countries.

Results.

We found that the majority of countries (18/24) rotate the warning labels within the 12–36 month period recommended by the WHO Convention, and about half (13/24) have sets of 8 to 12 warning labels, thus complying with the additional regional guidance, which adds other stipulations. Across the Region, there is variability regarding transition periods between sets, which range from 1 to 6 months. In the majority of countries, the leading authority in charge of warnings is the Ministry of Health.

Conclusions.

Our analysis shows that even when countries’ laws meet the requirements of the WHO Convention, there are still challenges. Most countries’ laws require future legislation or regulations to be adopted before new iterations of warnings can come into effect. If legal instruments are not adopted in a timely fashion – which is occurring in many countries – new warning labels are not implemented on time, and message fatigue becomes a risk.
Overcoming tobacco industry opposition to standardized packaging in the Americas
Authors: Crosbie Eric , Borges Luciana C. , Eckford Robert , Sebrié Ernesto M. , Severini Gianella , Bialous Stella A.
Published: October 2022

Countries in the Region of the Americas have been slow to adopt standardized packaging of tobacco products. The objectives of this analysis are to report on the progress made in adopting such packaging in countries in the Region, review known tobacco industry strategies for opposing these policies and discuss the resources available to academics, advocates and policy-makers who might be interested in advancing the use of standardized packaging in the Region. Of the 23 countries worldwide that have fully adopted standardized packaging laws, only 2 are in the Region (Canada and Uruguay). Six other countries (Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico and Panama) have tried to introduce standardized packaging through draft bills, all of which have been delayed or withdrawn. There are indications that the tobacco industry has used its playbook of arguments to oppose the policy in those countries, including allegations that standardized packaging breaches national laws and international treaties protecting intellectual property, alongside threats of litigation. It is possible that these threats and allegations may have had a greater effect in the Region because of the lengthy (6 years) and costly (legal fees of US$ 10 million) international investment arbitration brought by Philip Morris International against Uruguay’s strong tobacco packaging laws. However, all of the industry’s arguments have been debunked, and national courts and international legal forums have upheld standardized packaging as a lawful policy. Governments in the Region of the Americas should follow the examples of Canada and Uruguay and reject the industry’s false arguments and litigation threats. This analysis discusses some of the financial and technical resources that can assist them.

Published: October 2022

El presente informe especial describe tanto la metodología para el cálculo del indicador sobre adopción de mecanismos eficaces para evitar la interferencia de la industria tabacalera o de aquellos que defienden sus intereses, establecido en la “Estrategia y plan de acción para fortalecer el control del tabaco en la Región de las Américas 2018-2022”, así como del estado de adopción de estos mecanismos en los países de la Región para el año 2019, y su progreso desde 2016. Se encontró que, para el 2019, de los 35 Estados Miembros de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS), 13 cuentan con normativa que establece medidas específicas al manejo de conflicto de interés para funcionarios y empleados públicos con competencia en políticas de control del tabaco. Asimismo, 7 han implementado medidas relacionadas, pero no específicas, y 14 no han implementado ninguna medida. Si bien se muestra un avance en relación con año 2016, los esfuerzos deben ser redoblados para alcanzar la meta de 20 Estados Miembros con mecanismos de identificación y manejo de conflictos de interés, establecida en la Estrategia y plan de acción. Cabe destacar que contar con normativa referida al tema no agota, ni mucho menos, concluye el cumplimiento de todas las obligaciones que emanan del artículo 5.3 del Convenio Marco de la Organización Mundial de la Salud para el Control del Tabaco. La Secretaría de OPS, en cumplimiento de lo solicitado por los Estados Miembros, desarrolló la metodología para el cálculo del indicador y sistematizó los hallazgos que son presentados.

Inquiry-Creative Learning Integrated with Ethnoscience: Efforts to Encourage Prospective Science Teachers’ Critical Thinking in Indonesia
Authors: Verawati Ni Nyoman Sri Putu , Harjono Ahmad , Wahyudi Wahyudi , Gummah Syifa’ul
Published: October 2022

Cultural entities and local or national wisdom can serve to provide scientific knowledge to students, and the in-depth knowledge in the fields of science must be underpinned by critical thinking (CT). In a developing perspective, inquiry is the best way to train CT skills, and creativity becomes one of the supporting aspects. This study aimed to implement inquiry-creative learning integrated with ethnoscience to develop the CT skills of prospective science teachers (PSTs). The study applied the randomized pretest-posttest control design, involving two intervention groups, one with inquiry-creative learning integrated with ethnoscience (n = 29) and the other with traditional teaching (n = 26). The participants were PSTs at two universities in Indonesia. Each group was observed for their CT skills in line with CT indicators (CTi) and individual performance (CTs) using the pretest-posttest method and compared, and a valid essay test was applied to collect data. The CT skills data analysis was descriptive based on the average pretest-posttest and n-gain parameters. The effects of the two interventions on CT skills were analyzed using the t test (p < .05). After descriptive and statistical tests were carried out, the assessment of CT performance on participants in the two intervention groups showed different results. For the CTi and CTs, inquiry-creative learning integrated with ethnoscience had a better impact on training participants’ CT skills when compared to traditional instruction. The statistical analysis results showed a significant difference in the performance of CT skills in participants between the two groups being compared. The findings of this study emphasize that in relation to improving CT performance, teaching practice with inquiry-creative learning integrated with ethnoscience is most effective in improving the CT skills of PSTs. The advantages of the learning intervention are discussed and may contribute to the literature of future studies.
Spicing up Undergraduate Collaborative Writing Course through Feedback Dialogues
Authors: Alqefari Abdulrahman Nasser
Published: October 2022

Dialogic feedback, as opposed to unidirectional feedback that positions English language learners as mere receivers, is argued to be effective in promoting learners' self-regulated learning and active roles in feedback interpretation and negotiation. Despite the emphasis on dialogic feedback, empirical research on the how? question related to the processes of dialogues in feedback settings is limited. This paper, therefore, being positioned as part of this dialogic feedback approach, aimed to explore how feedback dialogues on the writing of fifteen pairs of undergraduates joining a writing class in a Saudi Arabia university are constructed. The data was collected from records of oral face-to-face (F2F) dialogues and digital or online written and audio interactions. The dialogues were analysed using an interactional analysis guided by several conceptual frameworks from previous research. Findings illustrated that dialogues are promoted and constructed within a four-dimensional process of cognitive, metacognitive, socio-affective, and structural activities. The assessment questions, hand-written codes and Google Docs-based highlights of errors in learners' drafts played a role in initiating F2F learner-learner dialogues which were extended to teacher-learner dialogues and to online dialogues. The study encourages writing instructors' shift to dialogic feedback in order to foster learners' active engagement with feedback and to motivate them to look for more effective strategies in promoting feedback dialogues with learners.
Teachers’ Perceptions of School Readiness Among Grade 1 Learners in Lesotho Schools: The Case of Roma Valley
Authors: Chere-Masopha Julia
Published: October 2022

The study investigated teachers’ perceptions of school readiness among children who start Grade 1 in government primary schools in the Roma Valley in Lesotho. Compared to the privately owned schools, the three government schools from which teachers were recruited for this investigation had limited infrastructure, facilities, and resources. In addition, these schools practised static teaching and each had only one teacher who had experience of working with children who start formal schooling for the first time. In a way, the teachers who participated in this study were self-selective. A qualitative approach that used semi-structured interviews was used to explore the perceptions of these teachers. Data collected were analysed using a thematic approach. According to the teachers participating in this study, most children in Lesotho start formal schooling unprepared and without any foundational education background. They associated children’s lack of readiness among these children with a lack of foundational education. As a result, these children struggle to adapt to the school environment. These teachers further pointed out that factors such as age, disability, gender, and socio-economic background can influence the speed at which the children adapt to school life and culture. This study recommends that the government should find strategies that support the implementation and monitoring of a policy on children and foundational education. Further, there should be programmes that educate parents about foundation education and that support teachers to work with children who do not have a background of foundational education when they begin formal schooling.

The sudden shift to e-learning during the pandemic has challenged the students in setting up proper work areas with available space and resources. However, it is unclear whether these spaces conform to good ergonomic standards, which apply to information about human behaviour, abilities, limitations and other characteristics to the design of tools, machines, tasks, jobs and environments for productive, safe, comfortable and effective human use. This study was conducted, in order to assess the ergonomic perceptions and practices in e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic among the Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University students. An analytical cross-sectional design was used with a convenience sample of 384 students from January to April 2021. A self-administered online questionnaire was used for the data collection. A descriptive data analysis and a Pearson chi-square test were done, using JMP Version 14. The results indicated positive ergonomic perceptions. With regard to practices, most desktop laptop users applied good ergonomic practices (80.7%). In contrast, 50.5% of laptop-without-desk users and 47% of smartphone/tablet users engaged in poor ergonomic practices. Furthermore, the findings showed that there were no significant associations between ergonomic practices and ergonomic perceptions. The study recommends the provision of health-education programmes to encourage the application of correct ergonomic practices. In addition to applying flexible breaks during classes, the study advocates the adoption of practices that avoid.

The Coronavirus outbreak disrupted the global economy and human social activities, including schooling. Because of the worldwide school closure, face-to-face lessons have been stopped. Students desire to participate in real-time online learning was not well understood when the Coronavirus outbreak occurred. Despite this, there has been a progressive return to face-to-face education accompanied by online learning after more than two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. This international survey assessed students' readiness for live online learning using technology rather than the more traditional online/internet self-efficacy scale. This study is needed because of the COVID-19 outbreak (dependent variable). Three hypotheses were substantiated with the partial least square method to develop a structural equation model containing all four variables. Students' grades were shown to be directly influenced by factors such as temperature, lighting, and noise. Three distinct elements influence university students' long-term viability (human resources). Males and females were found to have no statistically significant differences. We contend that during the Coronavirus pandemic, the gender disparity in learning was minimized because students were pushed to take greater responsibility for their education. Educators utilizing live online learning, particularly those educating students at various educational levels, can benefit greatly from this research. Students pursuing lower-level degrees should be encouraged to engage in more virtual activities and student-to-student relationships.

Узагальнено важливі для практичного використання відомості про лужні координаційні нітрати рідкісно-земельних елементів церієвої підгрупи – прекурсори перспективних сучасних багатофункціональних матеріалів – щодо умов їх утворення й існування, природи хімічного зв’язку, складу, будови, форми координаційних поліедрів Ln, типу координації ліганд, існування ізотипних рядів по стехіометрії складу, структурі, виявляємих характерних властивостей. Одержані дані (як первинна інформація) є основою для виявлення, ідентифікації, контролю фазового стану об’єктів перероблення у підготовчих стадіях, вибору критеріїв сумісності складових при формуванні одношарових і шаруватих наноструктурованих оксидних композитних систем лантаноїдів і перехідних елементів широкого призначення, з каталітичною і фотокаталітичною активністю, покриття здатного самоочищатися з гідрофільними властивостями; розроблення різних комбінованих способів їх активації та встановлення технологічно-функціональних залежностей; керованого модифікування властивостей одержуваних цільових продуктів. Для підвищення фотокаталітичної активності зразків покриттів на основі високодисперсного TiO2 анатазної модифікації запропонована методологія хімічного модифікування центрів окиснення у їхньому поверхневому шарі з термооброленням у контакті з продуктами термолізу розплавів лужних координаційних нітратів лантаноїдів. Виявлена ефективна тестова фотокаталітична деструкція парів органічних субстратів на прикладі етанолу. Доведена дієва активація роботи функціональних вузлів у складі самоналаштовуючихся комплексів очищення повітря з використанням нових фотокаталітично-активних трьох шарових перовскітоподібних оксидних матеріалів М2Ln2Ti3O10 (М – Li, Na, K; Ln – La, Nd). Варіативність таких способів створення і модифікування характеристик поліфункціональних покриттів визначається кількістю й індивідуальними властивостями представників природніх рядів лантаноїдів, лужних металів періодичної системи, особливостями їх кооперативної поведінки у підготовчих технологічних стадіях, умовами і методами активації процесів формування, природою підкладки та іншими чинниками

Предметом вивчення в статті є процеси формування пояснень щодо прийнятих в інтелектуальній інформаційній системі рішень. Метою є розробка моделі процесу побудови деталізованих пояснень щодо прийнятого інтелектуальною інформаційною системою рішення на основі каузальних залежностей між відомими станами інтелектуальної інформаційної системи для більш ефективного використання отриманого рішення при вирішенні практичних задач користувача. Завдання: темпоральна структуризація процесу формування пояснень в інтелектуальній інформаційній системі; розробка каузальної моделі процесу формування пояснень. Використовуваними підходами є: підходи до побудови каузальних залежностей, підходи використання темпоральних залежностей у процесах прийняття рішень. Отримані наступні результати. Визначено структуру процесу побудови пояснень з урахуванням темпоральноо аспекту. На базі отриманої структури розроблено каузальну модель процесу побудови пояснень в інтелектуальній інформаційній системі Висновки. Наукова новизна отриманих результатів полягає в наступному. Запропоновано модель процесу побудови пояснень щодо послідовності дій з формування рішень в інтелектуальній інформаційній системі, що містить у собі упорядковану за множиною темпоральних правил множину станів процесу прийняття рішення в системі, а також множину детермінованих та ймовірнісних каузальних правил, що визначають причинно-наслідкові зв'язки між станами процесу прийняття рішення. Модель орієнтована на побудову пояснень у вигляді послідовності каузальних правил, що зв'язують як послідовні у часі стани процесу прийняття рішення, так і стани, між якими існують послідовності інших станів. Запропонована модель дає можливість виконати деталізацію пояснення, представивши узагальнену каузальну залежність у вигляді комплексу причинно-наслідкових залежностей між проміжними станами процесу прийняття рішення.

Метою роботи є підвищення завадозахищеності прийому (демодуляції) корисного ЦС з QPSK в умовах впливу потужної подібної завади. Постановка задачі. Розробити правило прийняття рішення про переданий ДП корисного ЦС з QPSK в умовах впливу потужної QPSK-завади. Результати. В статті представлено синтез підоптимального алгоритму демодуляції двох синхронних взаємно неортогональних цифрових сигналів з QPSK- модуляцією. За відсутності завади даний алгоритм вироджується в класичну когерентну демодуляцію цифрового сигналу з QPSK. При суттєвому перевищенні миттєвої потужності завади над миттєвою потужністю корисного цифрового сигналу з QPSK завадозахищеність прийому останнього наближається до завадозахищеності прийому в каналі з адитивним білим гаусівським шумом без завади. Висновок. Даний алгоритм демодуляції може використовуватися при розробці модемних компенсаторів, що забезпечують повторне використання частотного ресурсу, а також при розробці перспективних завадозахищених засобів радіозв’язку.
