Published: September 2020

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi karena kemampuan siswa dalam memahami konsep matematika yang masih kurang, dengan anggapan siswa bahwa pelajaran matematika adalah pelajaran yang sulit. Salah satu alternatif pembelajaran yang bisa digunakan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman konsep matematis siswa adalah pembelajaran dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran Learning Cycle 5E. Tujuan yang ingin dicapai dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui peningkatan pemahaman konsep matematis siswa yang mendapat pembelajaran dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran Learning Cycle 5E lebih baik daripada siswa yang mendapat pembelajaran konvensional dan sikap siswa terhadap pembelajaran Learning Cycle 5E . Penelitian ini menggunakan kuasi eksperimen. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas VII SMP Negeri 2 Dawuan, diambil dua kelas dari kelas sebagai sampel penelitian yaitu kelas VII B dan VII I. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari tes dan non tes berupa angket. Setelah dilakukan tes berupa tes tertulis yaitu Pretest dan Posttest dapat diperoleh hasilnya yaitu kelas eksperimen yang mendapatkan pembelajaran dengan menggunakan model Learning Cycle 5E mengalami peningkatan 69%, sedangkan kelas kontrol dengan pembelajaran menggunakan model pembelajaran biasa mengalami peningkatan sebesar 48%. Maka peningkatan kemampuan pemahaman konsep matematis siswa kelas eksperimen lebih baik secara signifikan dibandingkan kelas kontrol.

O citros é uma das atividades mais importantes no noroeste de São Paulo, exigindo altos investimentos e o uso da irrigação vem aumentando como requisito para a viabilidade da atividade, necessidade de alta produtividade na região com as maiores taxas de evapotranspiração e déficit hídrico do estado. O objetivo deste projeto foi determinar a evapotranspiração real de citros e os coeficientes de cultura nos diferentes estádios fenológicos sob condições de chuva e diferentes sistemas de irrigação, fazendo uso combinado de técnicas de sensoriamento remoto e variáveis climáticas obtidas de estações meteorológicas aplicando e validando o SAFER e o FAO 56 em grande escala. O coeficiente de safra estimado pelo SAFER apresentou valores menores do que aqueles sugeridos pela FAO, o que estimula mais pesquisas sobre o assunto, considerando que é o primeiro estudo a estimar o uso de água por citros na região noroeste de São Paulo, que combina informações coletadas no solo (estações agrometeorológicas) com imagens de satélite orbitais.
O DIREITO À CIDADE: A FUNÇÃO PROTAGONISTA DO ESPAÇO PÚBLICO
Authors: Franciscon Anderson
Published: September 2020

O conceito “direito à cidade” foi idealizado por Henri Lefebvre em 1968, no qual, contesta a cidade regrada (jornada de trabalho, horas no trânsito), por ele denominada de miséria urbana. A cidade é composta por diversos espaços (públicos e privados), na qual 35% são de caráter públicos (ruas, parques, praças, avenidas e edifícios institucionais). O espaço público exerce fundamental protagonismo na cidade contemporânea, sendo por excelência o lugar da expressão política e dos direitos cidadãos. Pautada na metodologia de revisão bibliográfica, objetivamos discorrer sobre a importância do espaço público como aparado ao direito à cidade, proporcionando assim o entendimento de sua relação com a cidade e sociedade, bem como, revelando a capacidade que o citado tem de influenciar seus frequentadores.

Published: September 2020

There has been a stigma attached to diseases of the skin for centuries. A  healthy  normal  skin  is  essential  for  a  person’s  physical  and  mental  well-being  and  sense  of  self –confidence.  It   has  been  estimated   that  approximately   one  third  of  the   patients  presenting  with  the  dermatological  disorders  have  some  psychological  co-morbidity (Rosenberg, 1960).  Literature has shown that patients with vitiligo and acne are mostly affected by their psychosocial wellbeing, whereas psoriasis and atopic dermatitis patients are affected by both physical and psychosocial well-being. Self-evaluative salience reflects the importance of appearance to one’s sense of self-worth.  A  person  who  is  self-evaluative  define  or measure  themselves  and  their  self- worth  by  their  physical   appearance  and it  deem  influential  in  their  social  and  emotional  experiences. The present study aimed to evaluate any difference between appearance schema self-evaluative salience among the patients of psoriasis, acne, vitiligo and their controlled counterparts. Total 200 samples, 50 patients (Mean age = 32.8 years, SD= 3.97 years) for each group were chosen following purposive sampling technique from Department of Dermatology, R. G. Kar Medical College, Kolkata, India. The Appearance Schemas Inventory-Revised (ASI-R) was used to measure evaluation of appearance schema of the participants. Results indicate a significantly higher salience of self-evaluative appearance schema in patients with acne, followed by patients with psoriasis, vitiligo and their controlled counterparts. The findings indicate that the control group outperforms their clinical counterparts significantly in self evaluative appearance schema measure.  The effect size measure indicates a small impact of dermatological disorder on self-evaluative appearance schema, indicating though prevails the stigma of dermatological disorders in our society; the patients acquire effective coping strategies to boost their self esteem. Their body image is not primarily guided by evaluation of their appearances. To support this view, it is found that though among these three diseases social stigma is associated more with vitiligo, but the patients with acne have a higher self-evaluative appearance schema. The pattern of the effects of dermatological disorder on self evaluative appearance schema is discussed

The objective of the present study is to explore the role of family in developing life skills and psychological hardiness among adolescent boys. The study was conducted on a random sample of 300 male adolescents studying in government and private schools of Rajasthan. The data was collected with the help of life skills scale, psychological hardiness scale and family climate scale. Correlation was used to study life skills and psychological hardiness in relation to family environment among male adolescents. Regression was used to study family environment components of expressiveness, conflict, acceptance, cohesion, independence, active recreational orientation, organization and control and total family environment as predictors of life skills and psychological hardiness among male adolescents. The co relational analysis indicated that life skills are significantly correlated with all the eight dimensions of family environment except control dimension. Also, a significant relationship of control, challenge and global psychological hardiness with family environment and its dimensions was observed. The results of step-wise multiple regression revealed that only cohesiveness, active recreational orientation and organization dimension of family environment emerged as significant predictors of life skills among male adolescents. Further, the analysis revealed that total family environment emerged as a significant predictor of control, challenge and global psychological hardiness among adolescents.

The notion of attachment has been defined in different ways, but something which is identical in all definitions is that attachment is an essential ingredient for normal Human Development. From a developmental perspective, attachment theory has served as an important framework in understanding relationships throughout the lifespan. Attachment theory explains how individuals cope with conflict and assume various interpretations from the behaviors of others. From the experiences of early attachment relationships with a primary caregiver, the internal working model (IWM) becomes a mental representation of expectations and beliefs about the self in relation to others. The parent-child relationship serves as a prototype for future relationships of the child. It is this first relationship that the child uses as a template to apply to future relationship experiences. In short, the qualities of early relationships predict later relationships, and success in later relation-ships takes root in lifespan development. The present article provides a brief synopsis of the changes that occur during adolescence and describes what attachment is, why it continues to be important and how it is transformed during adolescence. It summarizes major findings on the impact of attachment on adolescent adjustment and discusses strategies for supporting healthy adolescent-parent attachment and also describes the secure and insecure attachments, patterns during adolescence towards parents and impact on their social & Psychological adjustment.
