Hospital and community based-studies had been conducted for Urinary Incontinence (UI) in Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) countries. A significant limitation of these studies is likely under-estimation of the burden of UI in SSA. It is therefore, imperative that a well-structured systematic review and meta-analytical models in SSA are required to accurately and reliably estimate the burden of UI. Medline/PubMed, Google Scholar, Africa Journal Online (AJOL) were searched to identified data on burden of UI studies in SSA. Two independent authors performed the initial screening of studies based on the details found in their titles and abstracts. The quality of the retrieved studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment instrument. The pooled burden of UI was calculated using a weighted inverse variance random-effects model. A sub-group and meta-regression analyses were performed. Publication bias was checked by the funnel plot and Egger’s test. Of the 25 studies included, 14 were hospital-based, 10 community- based, and 1 university-based studies involving an overall 17863 participants from SSA. The systematic review showed that the prevalence of UI ranged from 0.6% in Sierra Leone to 42.1% in Tanzania. The estimated pooled burden of UI across all studies was 21% [95% CI: 16%-26%, I2 = 91.01%]. The estimated pooled prevalence of stress UI was 52% [95% CI: 42%-62%], urgency UI 21% [95% CI: 15%-26%], and mixed UI 27% [95% CI: 20%-35%]. The common significant independent factors were; parity, constipation, overweight/obese, vaginal delivery, chronic cough, gestational age, and aging. One out of every five women in SSA suffers from UI. Parity, constipation, overweight/obesity, vaginal delivery, chronic cough, gestational age, and age were the most important risk variables. As a result, interventions aimed at reducing the burden of UI in SSA women aged 15 to 100 years old in the context of identified determinants could have significant public health implications.

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among Indian women. Screening is an effective prevention strategy, but achieving high screening rates depend upon identifying barriers at multiple levels of healthcare delivery. There is limited research on understanding the perspectives of providers who deliver cancer prevention services. The objective of this study was to explore physician perspectives on cervical cancer prevention, barriers to effective implementation, and strategies to overcome these barriers in India. Guided by the “Multilevel influences on the Cancer Care Continuum” theoretical framework, we conducted semi-structured interviews with physicians in Mysore, India. From November 2015- January 2016, we interviewed 15 (50.0%) primary care physicians, seven (23.3%) obstetrician/gynecologists, six (20.0%) oncologists, and two (6.7%) pathologists. We analyzed interview transcripts in Dedoose using a grounded theory approach. Approximately two-thirds (n = 19, 63.3%) of the participants worked in the public sector. Only seven (23.3%) physicians provided cervical cancer screening, none of them primary care physicians. Physicians discussed the need for community-level, culturally-tailored education to improve health literacy and reduce stigma surrounding cancer and gynecologic health. They described limited organizational capacity in the public sector to provide cancer prevention services, and emphasized the need for further training before they could perform cervical cancer screening. Physicians recommend an integrated strategy for cervical cancer prevention at multiple levels of uptake and delivery with specific efforts focused on culturally-tailored stigma-reducing education, community-level approaches utilizing India’s community health workers, and providing physician training and continuing education in cancer prevention.

Rift valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne disease of animals and humans. Although RVF outbreaks are usually reported at 5-15-year intervals in sub-Saharan Africa, Zambia has experienced an unusually long inter-epizootic/-epidemic period of more than three decades. However, serological evidence of RVF virus (RVFV) infection in domestic ruminants during this period underscores the need for comprehensive investigation of the mechanisms of virus perpetuation and disease emergence. Mosquitoes (n = 16,778) captured from eight of the ten provinces of Zambia between April 2014 and May 2019 were pooled (n = 961) and screened for RVFV genome by a pan-phlebo RT-PCR assay. Aedes mosquito pools (n = 85) were further screened by nested RT-PCR assay. Sera from sheep (n = 13), goats (n = 259) and wild ungulates (n = 285) were screened for RVFV antibodies by ELISA while genome detection in pooled sera (n = 276) from domestic (n = 248) and wild ungulates (n = 37) was performed by real-time RT-PCR assay. To examine the association between the long inter-epizootic period and climatic variables, we examined El Niño-Southern Oscillation indices, precipitation anomalies, and normalized difference vegetation index. We then derived RVF risk maps by exploring climatic variables that would favor emergence of primary RVFV vectors. While no RVFV genome could be detected in pooled mosquito and serum samples, seroprevalence was significantly high (OR = 8.13, 95% CI [4.63–14.25]) in wild ungulates (33.7%; 96/285) compared to domestic ruminants (5.6%; 16/272). Retrospective analysis of RVF epizootics in Zambia showed a positive correlation between anomalous precipitation (La Niña) and disease emergence. On risk mapping, whilst northern and eastern parts of the country were at high risk, domestic ruminant population density was low (< 21 animals/km2) in these areas compared to low risk areas (>21 animals/km2). Besides evidence of silent circulation of RVFV and the risk of disease emergence in some areas, wildlife may play a role in the maintenance of RVFV in Zambia.

Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study was to report approaches to surgical and medical management of proximal tibial metaphyseal fractures (PTMF) and short-term case outcome. Medical records of immature dogs with PTMF were reviewed and data were collected including history, signalment and side affected. Data pertaining to surgical and medical management including radiographic evaluation and short-term complications were recorded. Forty-five dogs with a total of 47 PTMF identified and treated between 2007–2019 were included in this study. Six cases were managed with external coaptation alone. Forty-one cases were treated surgically with constructs including K-wires in different configurations, bone plate and screws, and external skeletal fixation. Of the cases managed conservatively, 4 developed complications, including bandage sores, diffuse osteopenia of the tarsus/metatarsus, and angular limb deformities. Surgical complications including pin migration necessitating removal, osteopenia, and screw placement in the proximal tibial growth plate or into the stifle joint were found in 16 cases. PTMF treated with surgery had a subjectively more predictable outcome compared to those treated with external coaptation alone. Conservative management may result in complications including development of excessive tibial plateau angle (TPA) as well as distal tibial valgus.

Authors: Tursun Ayse Ozlem
Published: June 2022

The effect of fertilization on the yield of medicinal and aromatic plants is important. Among various fertilizers, seaweed is an environment friendly organic fertilizer. This study was conducted to determine the effects of foliar application of different doses of seaweed extract on the yield and essential oil content of coriander. Application was done before and at the beginning of flowering at two different locations. Results showed that the essential oil content was higher in the location with high sand content while the yield and yield components were higher at the location with low sand content and high organic matter content. Seaweed application at a dose of 2 ml L-1 showed positive effects on the growth, development, yield and essential oil contents of coriander plant. Linalool (%) was determined as the most important essential oil compound and the foliar application of seaweed showed positive effects on the linalool percentage. It can be stated that the foliar application of seaweed (organic fertilizers) has beneficial impacts in terms of increasing the yield and quality traits of coriander.
Morbidity status and changes in difficulty in activities of daily living among older adults in India: A panel data analysis
Authors: Patel Priyanka , Muhammad T. , Sahoo Harihar
Published: June 2022

Introduction

The study explored the socioeconomic and demographic factors that determine the onset of difficulty, recovery from difficulty and difficulty remaining in functional activity in later years of life. Additionally, the study examined the effects of several combinations of chronic diseases on the changes in later-life functional difficulty.

Methods

We used data from two rounds of India Human Development Survey (IHDS) conducted during 2004–2005 and 2011–2012. A sample of 13,849 respondents aged 55 years and above with a seven year follow-up was considered for this study. The Katz Index of Independence in activities of daily living (ADL) was used to measure the functional disability as an outcome variable. Multinomial logistic regression has been conducted to fulfil the study objectives.

Results

The overall functional difficulty among older adults was 27.3% and onset of functional difficulty (23.5%) was higher than the recovery from difficulty (2.1%) and remaining with difficulty (1.7%). Onset of functional difficulty in second round was higher among women (27.3%) than men (19.3%). Bivariate and multivariate analyses showed that single and multi-morbidity had a positive significant association with all categories of functional difficulty. Female sex, increasing age and rural place of residence had positive association with onset of difficulty and difficulty remaining in second round. The combinations of morbidities were also found to have positive significant association with functional difficulty i.e., the relative risk (RR) of onset of difficulty in second round is higher among those who had diabetes with high blood pressure (RR-1.7; CI: 1.4–2.0), cataracts with high blood pressure (RR-2.0; CI: 1.5–2.6) and cataracts with asthma (RR-3.1; CI: 2.1–4.6) compared to those with no diabetes and cataract but with high blood pressure or asthma, respectively.

Conclusion

The findings suggest that the risk of onset of functional difficulty is higher among older individuals with single and multiple morbidities compared to their healthy counterparts. It is also found that functional difficulty increased with age and was more prevalent in older women and rural residents, suggesting the need for appropriate policy interventions with special focus on the vulnerable senior adults.
James Bond in Greece: From cold warrior to strolling tourist
Authors: Wills David
Published: June 2022

Three Hellenic episodes from the long life of that globetrotting spy/tourist James Bond are considered here.From Russia With Love, the 1963 film adaption faithful to Ian Fleming’s 1957 original story, was followed by a Kingsley Amis 1968 Bond continuation novel and finally by 1981’s Roger Moore movieFor Your Eyes Only. Their respective settings of north-eastern Greece, Athens and the Cyclades, and Corfu and Meteora, are discussed in terms of their representation of local culture and the status of Greece within Europe. The extent to which the changing international reputation of Greece drives or informs these adventures is charted, from concerns about political reliability in the aftermath of the Second World War through to the welcoming tourist destination of the 1980s.
Rebetiko in diaspora: The London rebetiko scene
Authors: Nissen James
Published: June 2022

One of the most active rebetiko scenes outside Greece is in London. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork at Rebetiko Carnival, engagement with the scene between 2014 and 2020, and personal interviews with key musicians, this article examines the meanings and the unique features ofrebetikoin London. It shows the roles of music in forming a diasporic musical community and maintaining connections with Greece, while also forging a cosmopolitan music scene characterized by cross-cultural creativity, gender consciousness and education and outreach. It thus demonstrates thatrebetikois both recontextualized and transformed in London, nurtured by the city’s multiculturalism. This study suggests that, by considering this scene as part of an international network,rebetikocould be conceptualized as not onlyindiaspora butasa diaspora in itself, as a transnational thread that links widely dispersed and diverse musicians and enables them to create new cultural homes. This research thus contributes towards a growing literature onrebetikoin the Greek diaspora and reflects on wider issues relating to music in contexts of migration.

Panorama Geral das Técnicas de Observação do Nível do Mar para propósitos Geodésicos
Authors: Giehl Samoel , Dalazoana Regiane
Published: June 2022

Classicamente, observações do nível do mar são realizadas por estações maregráficas instaladas, principalmente em regiões portuárias. No entanto, os dados maregráficos podem estar contaminados por movimentos verticais da crosta. A instalação de uma estação de monitoramento contínuo Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) nas proximidades das estações maregráficas permite quantificar esses movimentos. A partir da segunda metade da década de 1980, iniciou-se o lançamento de satélites exclusivamente para o monitoramento do nível do mar, os satélites altimétricos. Estes permitem a obtenção de observações em cobertura global e num sistema de referência geocêntrico, porém, apresentam problemas em regiões costeiras em função da interferência do terreno no sinal de retorno e da rugosidade da superfície do mar. Novas gerações de satélites baseadas na tecnologia de radar de abertura sintética permitem melhoria na qualidade das observações nestas regiões. A mais recente técnica utilizada para este tipo de monitoramento é conhecida como refletometria oceânica e seu princípio de funcionamento considera que os atrasos de tempo entre os sinais GNSS diretos e refletidos estão diretamente correlacionados com a diferença de altura entre o receptor e a superfície refletora. Embora estas técnicas observem o mesmo sinal oceânico, cada uma apresenta singularidades relativas ao sistema de referência, resolução temporal e espacial, entre outros. Deste modo, o presente trabalho visa apresentar as principais técnicas para monitoramento do nível do mar. Além disso, serão apresentados a duração das séries temporais e os principais bancos de dados referentes às observações maregráficas na costa brasileira e aos dados das diferentes missões altimétricas.
Sensoriamento Remoto Aplicado à Análise de Fogo em Formações Campestres: Uma Re-visão Sistemática
Authors: Herrmann Pamela Boelter , Nascimento Victor Fernandez , Freitas Marcos Wellausen Dias de
Published: June 2022

Avaliar o impacto do fogo em formações campestres requer uma compreensão das relações ambientais e antrópicas sobre a dinâmica da paisagem. Este estudo faz uma revisão da literatura para entender o comportamento do fogo em formações campestres por meio de técnicas de sensoriamento remoto. Para isso foi utilizada a base de dados da Scopus por meio do método PRISMA com o auxílio de mapeamento de clusters. Primeiramente, foram encontrados 7.881 artigos na literatura cientifica, onde foram aplicados os passos metodológicos, resultando em 67 artigos, os quais foram utilizados na análise. Os resultados apontam uma tendência de crescimento de pesquisas com a temática, sendo o Brasil o segundo país com maior contribuição ao resultado. Grande parte das publicações utilizaram imagens orbitais, porém há um crescimento recente da utilização de imagens obtidas por sensores acoplados a VANT’s. Além dos índices espectrais NDVI e EVI, observa-se a recente a utilização de outros índices para analisar a severidade das queimadas e o processo de recuperação da vegetação. Estes temas são principalmente relacionados com o manejo integrado de fogo, que deve levar em consideração a conservação da biodiversidade e uso antrópico com o objetivo de reduzir a intensidade e severidade do fogo, para torná-lo mais controlável e reduzir seus impactos negativos. Portanto, o sensoriamento é essencial para entender o comportamento espaço-temporal do fogo e consequentemente servir de subsídio científico para auxiliar a tomada de decisão em casos de prescrição de queimadas levando em consideração a manutenção dos serviços ecossistêmicos e a utilização destas formações campestres.
Otimização da Integração de Topônimos por Similaridade Lexical
Authors: Parreiras Lanna Kallen , Ribeiro Fredy Sales , Coelho Vagner Braga Nunes
Published: June 2022

Feições identificáveis do mundo real são, por intermédio de funções de mapeamento, instanciadas em um Banco de Dados Geográfico (BDG) como representações dessa realidade. Essas representações são individualizadas pelos atributos especificadores da classe mapeada. Entre esses atributos estão pelo menos uma geometria e um nome identificador (topônimo) associado à chave primária. No entanto, diferentes produtores de dados interpretam a realidade com pequenas discrepâncias, tornando algumas representações de características mapeadas semelhantes, mas não idênticas. Em particular, os topônimos têm pequenas diferenças resultantes de modificações ao longo dos anos, da forma como são soletrados ou, também, devido a erros humanos no registro dos dados. Portanto, ao tentar integrar diferentes BDGs, por meio de topônimos, eles não favorecem um pareamento total, uma vez que os registros não são identificados como sendo representativos da mesma realidade. No caso específico da classe toponímia, isso ocorre principalmente devido a erros de digitação decorrentes do processo de inserção de dados, especialmente pela inversão no posicionamento dos caracteres dentro da palavra. Nesta pesquisa, foi desenvolvida uma melhoria no Coeficiente de Dados e comparada com o método original aplicado em três BDGs distintos. A análise foi baseada nas frequências de caracteres e bigramas existentes nessas bases. A melhoria proposta baseou-se na hipótese de que bigramas invertidos, como 'αβ' e 'βα', podem, segundo certos critérios, ser admitidos como semelhantes. A análise identificou os caracteres mais comuns e os bigramas mais frequentes nas bases, cuja associação com uma análise da distância normalizada em um teclado padrão, permitiu a identificação de uma série de pares de bigramas considerados semelhantes. Essa proposta permitiu um aumento médio de 0,58% no total de instâncias pareadas nos BDGs testados.
Propagação de Incertezas no Processo de Compatibilização de Referenciais e Época de Coordenadas GNSS
Authors: Ramos Marcony de Paulo , Poz William Rodrigo Dal , Carvalho Alessandro Salles
Published: June 2022

Neste trabalho, busca-se mostrar o efeito da propagação de incertezas no processo de compatibilização de época e de referenciais das coordenadas obtidas no GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). Ou seja, procura-se apresentar como as precisões dos parâmetros de transformação (PT) e das velocidades das estações GNSS podem afetar as precisões das coordenadas após a propagação de incertezas na compatibilização de referencial e época, e também, apontar sua influência na qualidade posicional das coordenadas. Para tanto, foram utilizadas 75 estações da RBMC (Rede Brasileira de Monitoramento Contínuo dos Sistemas GNSS) distribuídas no território brasileiro, cuja época de coleta de dados foi 01/07/2020 (época 2020,5), referenciadas ao IGb14. Inicialmente, foram obtidas as precisões dos PT entre o ITRF2014 e o ITRF2000, onde o ITRF2014 é alinhado ao IGb14 e o ITRF2000 ao SIRGAS2000. Nesta etapa, percebeu-se que as precisões dos PT são depreciadas, principalmente, devido à quantidade de referenciais envolvidos entre as duas realizações (ITRF2014, ITRF2008, ITRF2005 e ITRF2000 – quatro referenciais). Em seguida, foram realizadas as etapas de processamento de dados (compatibilização de referencial e de época das coordenadas, assim como a propagação de incertezas nos processos de compatibilização) em diversas simulações. Com isto, foi possível observar que o processo de compatibilização tornou as precisões das coordenadas notadamente piores, porém, mais realistas. Fazendo com que os valores de precisões das coordenadas, que eram, em média, de 1,8 mm e 0,8 mm nas componentes este (e) e norte (n) no Sistema Geodésico Local (SGL), respectivamente, passassem para 18,5 mm e 20,2 mm nas componentes (e) e (n), respectivamente, após a propagação de incertezas na transformação de referencial e a atualização das coordenadas.

Authors: Tonyushkina Ksenia , Koran Nicholas , Guttmann-Bauman Ines
Published: June 2022

Objective: In this study, we quantified the amount of time that pediatric diabetes care providers spend in non-reimbursable activities and evaluated the predictors related to clinic structure and educational and behavioral care diabetes support. Methods: We distributed an anonymous electronic survey via email to Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES) members and requested information about their practice and about non-reimbursable time spent during an average week not on call. Results: A total of 96 diabetes providers completed the survey. Most providers spent 1-2 hours a day on non-billable activities and 60% of them worked on weekends. Providers from medium sized programs and those without fellowships saw more patients than providers from small and large programs and those with fellowships. The same groups had the least assistance from certified diabetes care and education specialists (CDCES) and social workers. Providers from practices allowing CDCES to review blood glucose data and adjust insulin spent significantly less time on this activity themselves. Conclusions: We call for the development of new reimbursement models, noting increasing demands of technology, need for longitudinal care between visits and ensuring sustainability and equity of pediatric diabetes care.

The Sequentially Divergent-Convergent Development of Mortality
Authors: Pola Adéla
Published: June 2022

This article aims to explore the convergence and divergence of mortality in different world regions along with factors influencing these developments. It identifies the most important deviations from global trends, explains their causes, and distinguishes world regions at risk of unfavorable demographic development resulting, for example, from excess male mortality or the failure to combat cardiovascular diseases. Finally, the article analyzes the divergent trends of mortality in the European post-socialist countries. The divergent-convergent development of mortality is understood as a sequential development, in contrast to traditional approaches, which study overall convergence and divergence trends, not their sequential course. Using the example of the development of the life expectancy at birth, the article shows that the phases of divergence and convergence are repeated.

Generální prevenční povinnost v systému deliktního práva
Authors: Janoušková Anežka
Published: June 2022

The paper at hand deals with role and function of the general prevention duty in tort law as introduced by the Czech Civil Code in 2014. The general prevention duty has been taken over from the former Civil Code with some minor legislative amendments. On the other hand, basic rules for tort liability have changed significantly. As opposed to the previous general tort law provision, the new tort law was modelled upon the German concept of liability. However, German tort law does not explicitly provide for a general prevention duty. As the paper points out, this creates a unique combination of rules that need to be examined and discussed thoroughly. The paper at hand strives to be part of the discussion and tackle the issue of whether the traditional understanding of the general prevention duty needs to be reassessed and if so, how. It poses major questions, which arise due to the aforementioned changes. It further evaluates existing opinions on the matter and elaborates on possible solutions to the problem.
The Inflationary Potential of the Historic 2021 SDR Allocation
Authors: Beretta Edoardo , Neuberger Doris
Published: June 2022

The paper assesses whether Special Drawing Rights (SDR), namely international reserve assets and claims on freely useable currencies of its members created and allocated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), are inflationary. This question has been already raised in the economic literature, but the paper does so by specifically analyzing its most recent and highest allocation in August 2021 on the one hand and its use by member countries to combat the COVID-19 crisis on the other. Moreover, the article revamps the logical-conceptual debate on the essence of money as issued by banks and what the IMF (which is not a bank) is monetarily speaking capable of.

Published: June 2022

The paper reports the main contents of the guidelines developed in the framework of the project ANCHOR, acronym of Advanced Noise Control strategies in HarbOuR, which is a European Project funded as part of the announcement Life 2017.

The guidelines represent an updated version of those elaborated in the NoMEPorts project named ‘Good Practice Guide on Port Area Noise Mapping and Management’; the aim is to define a common approach in port noise monitoring and assessment, considering the outcomes of previous EU funded projects and the algorithms defined by the European Directive 2015/996, in order to produce Port Noise Impact Assessments to be included in ports Environmental Management Systems (EMS).

The procedures described in the guidelines will guide professionals in organizing and managing geographical data, in characterizing noise sources and defining, for each of them, the correct noise emission power level, in evaluating noise propagation and people exposure to noise and, finally, in selecting the most efficient mitigation action by means of a cost benefit analysis.

Moreover, the paper reports the results of a comparison between noise mapping outcomes obtained using the new noise mapping algorithms defined by the 2015/996 Directive and the old 2002/49/EC Annex II ones; especially at long distances from the source the differences between the two methodologies are not negligible.
“I Have Always thought that, If I Am Poor, I’m Also Supposed to Study Poorly”
Authors: Vučković Juroš Tanja
Published: June 2022

The goal of this study is to highlight the embodied nature of social class inequalities in education. Drawing from a larger study that examined educational outcomes and work careers of young people whose families received welfare benefits in Croatia when these individuals were of high school age, the article focuses on biographical narrative interviews with three young individuals. These strategically selected cases were characterized by a shared experience of living in poverty that was, nevertheless, marked by very different initial intersections of social advantages and disadvantages (middle-class fall into poverty, intergenerational poverty, and poverty intersecting with anti-Roma racism). Based on the comparison of these three life stories, this study utilizes Bourdieu’s concept of habitus as a conceptual tool, incorporating both cognitive and affective schemas, to examine how these young individuals framed their lives and educational trajectories. In doing so, this study builds on the work by scholars such as Reay who extend the explorations of embodied social inequalities in education into the realm of emotions, which are—in line with the growing body of work in the sociology of emotions—understood as embedded in (unequal) social relations. Therefore, the analysis of this study focuses on how, in the three examined life stories, the horizons of probable, possible, and unimaginable were perceived very differently and shaped by distinct affective structures. The findings of this study suggest that cognitive and affective schemas function jointly, as integral elements of a social inequalities’ mechanism rooted in the compounding of advantages or disadvantages.

Criminal Liability in Prison Fire Case: A Case Study of Class I Tangerang Prison Fire
Authors: Supriyono Supriyono , Ihsan Ahmad Yulianto
Published: June 2022

The existence of Correctional Institutions is part of the criminal system in Indonesia. The criminal law policy which is not yet ideal and the management of prisons that are not optimal have caused over capacity in all prisons. Therefore, in the event of a prison fire disaster, mitigation and rapid evacuation of the inmates cannot be carried out and cause death toll. When there are inmates who die as a result of a prison fire, of course, there must be a party who is responsible politically, sociologically and juridically. This study aims to determine criminal liability in prison fire cases based on the Criminal Code, Law Number 12 of 1995 concerning Corrections and other laws and regulations. This research uses normative juridical research method. Based on the results of the study, it can be seen that politically and sociologically those responsible for the fire incident were government officials who handled prison affairs, namely the Minister of Law and Human Rights, the Director General of Corrections, and the head of the prison. While juridically those responsible for the prison fire incident were the perpetrators who were found guilty either by intention or negligence, namely the prison officer for general affairs who handled prison electricity and the prison warden on duty when the fire occurred. To prevent prison fires from causing the inmates to die, it is expected that the government, will improve prison management and carry out criminal law policy reform to improve the criminal system in Indonesia.

Authors: Nopriana Tri , Rosita Cita Dwi , Halbi Diana
Published: June 2022

This study aimed to implement a didactic situation design to overcome learning obstacles in the circumference and area of the circle. The method used is qualitative research with Didactical Design Research which goes through the last two stages, namely metapedadidactic analysis and retrospective analysis. The instrument used is a didactic situation design prepared by Rosita, Maharani, Tonah Munfi (2020) and interview guidelines. Based on the implementation results, the didactic situation that has been designed has not been able to overcome students' learning obstacles fully. In addition, a new learning obstacle appears in the concept of the circumference of a circle. Not all students can measure the length of the curvature of a circle because there are inaccurate measurement results. In this study, the didactic design was revised regarding the circumference and area of a circle based on metapedadidactic and retrospective analysis.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengimplementasikan rancangan situasi didaktis sebagai upaya mengatasi learning obstacle pada materi keliling dan luas lingkaran. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan Didactical Design Research yang melalui dua tahap terakhir yaitu analisis metapedadidaktik dan analisis retrospektif. Instrumen yang digunakan berupa rancangan situasi didaktis yang telah disusun oleh Rosita, Maharani, Tonah Munfi (2020) serta pedoman wawancara. Berdasarkan hasil implementasi, situasi didaktis yang telah dirancang belum sepenuhnya dapat mengatasi learning obstacle siswa. Selain itu, terdapat learning obstacle baru yang muncul pada konsep keliling lingkaran yaitu tidak semua siswa mampu mengukur panjang lengkungan lingkaran karena terdapat hasil pengukuran yang kurang akurat.Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan perbaikan kembali desain didaktis mengenai konsep keliling dan luas lingkaran yang disusun berdasarkan analisis metapedadidaktik dan retrospektif.

General and Vocational Tracks and Equity of Higher Education Enrollment Opportunities among Classes: A Reconstruction of Indicator System for Social Class-based Differential Enrollment Opportunities and its Empirical Analysis
Authors: Cao Yan , Tang Shanshan
Published: June 2022

Based on the educational hierarchical reproduction theory and the MMI and EMI hypotheses, this paper discusses the impact of the tracking of general and vocational education at the secondary level on higher education opportunity equity among social classes. The study finds that increasing gross enrollment rates of both general high schools and secondary vocational schools can help improve the equity in admission opportunities of colleges and universities among social strata; expanding the share of general high school places by adjusting the structure of general and vocational tracks (that is, the general-vocational ratio) can effectively reduce the class disparities in college and university admission opportunities; neither the change in the scale nor in the structure of general and vocational tracks will contribute to alleviating class inequality in top university enrollment opportunities.
