Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Nursing
Authors: - Jyothsna N
Published: October 2023

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad field of computer science focused on creating systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, language understanding, and speech recognition. AI can be categorized into two main types: Narrow AI (or Weak AI) and General AI (or Strong AI).While the integration of AI in nursing brings numerous benefits, it is essential to address ethical considerations, data privacy, and the need for ongoing education and training for healthcare professionals. The collaboration between AI systems and human expertise is crucial for ensuring the highest standards of patient care.
Special Education Needs: Disorder and Disability in India in the light of National Education Policy 2020
Authors: - Prabir Datta
Published: October 2023

India’s first education policy of the twenty-first century is the National Education Policy 2020. The policy has been structured with the objectives of addressingand ensuring lots of developmental imperatives in our country.It has opened a new vista to guide the minds of people for developing the level of reason and logic. It has fixated on almost all of the targets and goals of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. The NEP 2020 has pinpointed to provide quality education system for all students with particular focus on historically marginalised, disadvantaged and underrepresented groups. The Policy has also endeavoured to pave the all-possible ways for educating the children with disabilities as equal to any other child and also in consonance with the RPWD Act, 2016. For the children with disabilities to introduce an effective system of education, that is to say, special education is crying need and it has had its due place in the NEP-2020.Special education is an important part of society’s response to the needs of exceptional children and the rights of individuals with disabilities—a response brought about by parent advocacy, litigation, legislation, and, increasingly, self-advocacy by people with disabilities. It is a profession with its own history, cultural practices, tools, and research base focused on the learning needs of exceptional children and adults. But at the level where exceptional children most meaningfully and frequently contact it, special education is individually planned, specialized, intensive, goal-directed instruction. When practiced most effectively and ethically, special education is also characterized by the use of evidence-based teaching methods, the application of which is guided by direct and frequent measures of student performance. To perceive what lies at the root of a ‘learning difficulty’ in school is somewhat intricate. Over the years, different social or psychological understandings have given rise to different deliberations. Research confirms that strategies recommended for particular special educational needs are useful for most students.
From Data to Impact: Machine Learning Models for Sustainable Development Region Classification- Accelerating the Achievement of Sustainable Development Goals through Predictive Analytics
Authors: - Deepshika Vijayanand
Published: October 2023

This research paper presents a classification model for predicting the region to which a country belongs based on its sustainability scores and other related features. The dataset used in this study comprises comprehensive data on sustainability and progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for various countries. The primary objective is to understand regional trends in sustainability and assess countries' progress in sustainable development. The research begins with data preparation and preprocessing steps, including merging datasets, handling missing values, and standardizing features. Exploratory data analysis is performed to visualize the distribution of the target variable (region) and the distributions of numeric features related to SDG scores. Additionally, relationships between these features are explored using correlation matrices and pair plots. Several machine learning models are employed to classify countries into their respective regions. The models used include Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM) with a linear kernel, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, and SVM with a radial basis function (RBF) kernel. Each model is trained on the dataset, and their performance is evaluated in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of these models in accurately classifying countries into regions based on sustainability scores and other attributes. The findings reveal that Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Tree, and SVM with RBF kernel achieve exceptionally high accuracy, suggesting their suitability for regional classification based on sustainability metrics. Logistic Regression and SVM with a linear kernel also provide competitive results. In conclusion, this research contributes to understanding regional trends in sustainability by utilizing machine learning models to predict the regions of countries based on their sustainability scores and associated features. Such predictive models can be valuable tools for policymakers and organizations seeking to assess and address regional disparities in sustainable development progress.
A Predictive Model For Quantifying The Combined Effect Of Land Use Change And Climatic Variability On Sedimentation In Malaba Sub Catchment
Authors: - Ologe Hector Daniel
Published: October 2023

Over the previous years, sedimentation in Malaba sub catchment has become a major problem, this research aimed at using SWAT as a predictive model to assess the impacts of historical and future climate change and land use changes on sedimentation in Malaba sub catchment. Two variables rainfall and temperature were considered under climate change. Four scenarios were modeled in SWAT during this study, the first scenario focused on historical sedimentation in the catchment, land use data of 2000 and weather data of 1990 to 2005 was used to simulate flow and sediment yield in the catchment. The second scenario focused on the current sediment yield in the catchment where land use data of 2020 and weather data of 2003 to 2020 was used to simulate the sediment yield and flow. Calibration and validation was done using SWAT CUP software. The calibrated and validated model was then used to further simulate two future scenarios. The two future scenarios used projected land use data and projected weather data. Land use data was projected using Clerk Labs Terr set software while weather data was projected using the Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM). The third scenario considered projected land use data of 2035 and projected weather data of 2020 to 2035 to simulate flow and sediment yield of 2023 to 2035. The forth scenario considered projected land use data of 2050 and projected weather data of 2033 to 2050 to simulate catchment flow and sediment yield of 2036 to 2050. The results obtained from climate change analysis indicated un even changes, rainfall over the catchment is expected to increase, maximum temperature is expected to increase, minimum temperature is expected to reduce. Land use change results after comparison between the historical land use and projected land use indicated that from 2020 to 2050 cropland and built up area will increase while forests and water bodies will reduce. Average annual Sediment yield of 1993 to 2020 is expected to generally increase from 4975.4 tons/km2/year to an average annual sediment yield of 5525.6 tons/km2/year from 2023 to 2050. Therefore, mitigation measures should be adopted to ensure sustainable management of the catchment. Some of the recommendations made in this research are; Government through NEMA should put restrictions on cultivation close to the river banks, encourage planting trees within the catchment, bare lands within the catchment should be converted to other sustainable land uses. The study findings of this research shall be relevant for planning, design and management of reservoirs, dams, irrigation systems and sustainability of eco systems in the catchment.

The performance of polymeric insulators which are being used in high transmission and distribution lines in the arid desert climate of south Libya
Authors: - Abdelati M. Taher Jermi
Published: October 2023

Libya currently, Polymers have huge production and are therefore enormously used especially in electrical applications. In the overhead transmission and distribution lines polymeric insulators are used in large quantities. The environmentally or naturally induced degradation mechanisms are creating major problems for the electrical properties of these polymeric insulators. The current study was conducted by the author in order to determine the condition of non-ceramic insulators that various power companies in Libya use. This experimental research was done to investigate the suitability of these polymeric insulators. The primary aim was to assess the performance of polymeric insulators which are being used in high transmission and distribution lines in the arid desert climate in the southern Al-Jufra region in Libya. The impacts of enormous heat and ultraviolet radiations on these polymeric insulators were studied. The accelerated aging test chamber was specially designed to achieve the objectives. The aging insulators' electrical strength (withstand) was then compared with the new polymeric insulators. The Dielectric performance indicated that Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) insulators overtake the Silicon Rubber (SiR) insulators.
Correspondingly an optical result shows that the surface roughness of the aged sample in the SiR case is more in contrast with the new insulators. However, very minor surface roughness was found in the case of aged TPE insulators over the equivalent aging period. The enhanced surface roughness of aged SiR Insulators might impact the dielectric performance after their exposure for a lengthy period in local environmental conditions.

Authors: Richard Brenna , Turner Joan , Stone Michelle R. , McIsaac Jessie-Lee D.
Published: October 2023

Research indicates outdoor play influences children’s physical, cognitive and social-emotional well-being, but there are barriers to implementation in early learning settings. This study explores an early learning and child care (ELCC) program achieving success with outdoor play to identify strategies that may help overcome barriers and support outdoor play in similar contexts. Focus groups and interviews were conducted with ELCC program Early Childhood Educators (ECEs) and facilitators, school teachers and principal, and government staff. Data also included relevant documentation and photographs of the outdoor play spaces. Thematic analysis of all data was completed, resulting in a description of the ELCC program’s outdoor play space and practices and factors that may be influencing these identified practices. Six themes or influencing factors were identified: 1) outdoor play, including loose parts and risky play, is valued; 2) outdoor play is promoted and engaged in by others; 3) space and resources are available; 4) communication and engagement happens; 5) leaders are integral; and 6) partnerships and collaboration are essential. Using Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems model, this research identifies outdoor play implementation strategies that may provide guidance to ELCC stakeholders such as ECEs and policymakers. To overcome outdoor play challenges, considerations should be made to purposefully target and engage multiple subsystems and stakeholders as described in this study for greatest impact.
Children’s participation in documentation processes in local outdoor spaces
Authors: Dardanou Maria , Karlsen Bente
Published: October 2023

This article describes a study that aimed to investigate how children perform and document Land Art in local places near their kindergarten and the visualization of their experiences through their drawings back in the kindergarten. Documentation is important for a kindergarten’s planning and evaluation of pedagogical practices and activities. Studies have shown that using visual methods, such as drawings and photographs created by children themselves, to provide information related to children’s perspectives, actions and attitudes is a way for children to communicate and make meaning of their experiences. Encounters with the natural world through the performance of Land Art offer children the opportunity to directly sense, interact with and know ‘the world of materials’. Children’s interactions correspond with natural materials and the environment. Participatory observation was used, following a group of twelve children, aged four and five years in a year’s period to their trips near a shoreline. Data consists of photographs, voice recordings, video, drawings, and narratives to explore ways children interact with and make meaning of place by performing Land Art. The results show that children’s photographs and drawings are ways to ‘communicate’ with their experiences and engage with, pay attention to and visualize their perspectives. The findings might have implications for new approaches to documenting children’s voices and experiences through performing Land Art and drawings.
Contact with nature and executive functions: A pilot study with Spanish preschoolers
Authors: Sánchez-Pérez Noelia , Gracia-Esteban María , Santamaría-Gutiez Rebeca , López-Crespo Ginesa
Published: October 2023

In the last decades, studies have suggested that contact with nature might impact positively on children’s Executive Functions (EF), although results are not consistent across studies. The present research aimed to explore a set of contextual factors (family socioeconomic status, residential area, and contact with nature) and their relations with preschoolers’ EF. Specifically, the research proposed to examine whether there were differences in preschoolers’ EF between rural/urban environments, to analyze the relation between exposure to natural surroundings and EF, and the potential interaction between contact with nature and family socioeconomic status in explaining children’s EF. A total of 56 preschoolers (30 boys, 26 girls) aged 4-6 years (M = 4.86, SD = .82) participated in the study. Families reported children’s contact with nature and EF through validated questionnaires. Results suggested that rural/urban environments were not related to children’s EF, but preschoolers who had more contact with nature exhibited higher Working memory skills. Moreover, mothers’ lower education was related to more difficulties in preschoolers’ Working memory when they have less contact with nature, but spending more time in natural surroundings seems to buffer that negative relation between lower maternal education and children’s EF. These preliminary findings highlight the relevance of the exposure and contact with nature for early childhood years.
‘I'd rather learn outside because nature can teach you so many more things than being inside’: Outdoor learning experiences of young children and educators
Authors: Donison Laurel , Halsall Tanya
Published: October 2023

Outdoor and nature-based activities promote better health and academic outcomes for children. The school context represents a critical opportunity to support increased outdoor time. Yet, outdoor learning (OL) is not being implemented consistently across school contexts, therefore, many students do not receive the opportunity to participate. This study was designed to support increased uptake of OL and explores young children’s perspectives of learning within an outdoor context and explores how educators support OL opportunities within an early learning context. This research places a focus on children’s voices in order to emphasize their perspective of the learning experience and to highlight experiential child-led processes within OL. We collected semi-structured interviews with students, their parents and school staff who were involved in OL. An exploratory thematic analysis was applied using QSR NVivo. Findings that emerged were organized under two main themes: Nature as the teacher and Child-led exploration of nature. Nature as a teacher contained three subthemes: 1) Seasonal change influencing inquiry, 2) Engagement with other living things in nature and 3) Dimensionality of the outdoors as an element that enhances learning – experiential immersive learning. Child-led exploration of nature contained one subtheme: Learning driven by play. These findings can be used to advocate for increased uptake of OL in education and to provide guidance to educators regarding how to include OL within their practice to enhance equitable access for children.

We have focused our research on determining whether the timbers used as a building material by the population today are resistant or nonresistant to termite damage. The main purpose of this was to learn which types of trees cannot be used as building materials for houses or other structures. In this, we used Salix, Populus, Aleagnus, Ulmus, Pinus, and Betula wood species. We carried out research both in the laboratory and in the field (termite nests and residential buildings). In this case, damage by termites of these pieces of wood placed around termite nests accounts for one year. Salix and Populus wood materials were 86.6±6/50.0±4 percent in laboratory conditions, 93.3±5/90±5 in home, and Pinus and Betula wood materials were 6.6±0.7/0 in laboratory conditions and 13, 3±2/3.3±0.8 percent in home were damage noted. The causes of serious damage to wooden materials by termites are mainly due to the increase of humidity and the growth of fungi. When fungal cultures were isolated from damaged wood and their morphological characteristics were studied, it was found that wood decay fungi belonging to the genera Alternaria and Cladosporium were present. When studying the content of substances difficult to decompose by enzymes and microorganisms in the wood materials, it was found lignin that 20.1±0.3% was present in Salix and 41.2±0.3% in Betula wood. It has been found that in areas with high humidity, wood materials are decomposed by fungi and other microorganisms and the microorganisms multiply faster, As a result, wood more damage by termites. Lignin and some of its compounds prevent the growth of microorganisms. Wood materials made from trees belonging to the genera Pinus and Betula are resistant to termite damage due to their high lignin content.

Authors: Ginting Bengkel , Atika Tuti , Trimurni Februati
Published: October 2023

In Karo District, migrants who work as agricultural laborers have more excellent job opportunities and business opportunities; however, judging from their income conditions, housing conditions, and ability to send their children to school, they are still classified as poor. The existence of Migrants who work as agricultural laborers face problems and challenges in changing the industrial landscape after COVID-19. The marginalization of Farm Workers in Berastagi City is due to the narrower working area. Many landowners sell them to agro-investors or develop them in a renewable way using technology that replaces labor. Hard work in it. This article uses qualitative research, a research process, and an understanding based on a methodology investigating social phenomena and human problems. Research on the study of migrant workers is necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of their economic, social, and cultural contributions, as well as the challenges they face. This knowledge can inform evidence-based policies, promote social justice, improve healthcare access, and foster inclusive societies that benefit both migrant workers and their host countries. This article comprehensively reveals the facts in the Berastagi City, Karo Regency field, which is dominated by agricultural landscapes of vegetables, fruits, and plantations. Three things cause the marginalization of migrant farm workers in the Berastagi District, namely lack of skills, lack of education, and age which are classified as elderly. However, the thing that is most affected is the lack of land to be creative or adapt to changes in the agricultural and industrial landscape.
Tu mirada es tu firma: el concepto de Encontrar Problemas (Problem Finding)
Authors: Alfonso Benlliure Vicente
Published: October 2023

Problem finding (PF) is that ability to search for and identify aspects of reality that could be improved during the creative process, on which to focus the effort and personal resources. There is a wide set of terms used in the specialized literature to refer to this psychological resource (finding, identification, formulation, discovery, sensitivity, among others). Compared to other related constructs such as divergent thinking or problem solving, PF has received less attention. The objective of this work is to vindicate its relevance and to provide a synthesis regarding the terms and processes linked to the PF. The review of the literature allows us to identify certain regularities and agreements between the authors: The FP interacts with problem solving, includes both convergent and divergent skills, is present throughout the creative process, and includes different levels or formats. The different contributions regarding the relationship of the FP with other relevant variables such as gender, age, personality or creativity itself are reviewed. Finally, the need for a greater scientific effort and greater attention in educational centers is claimed. To promote this key psychological resource is important in order to better understand our present and optimize our future.

Authors: de Campos Leite Tamires , Fortes Alves Maria Dolores , Duarte Pereira Filho Alberto
Published: October 2023

The goal of this article is to analyse the actions and creative strategies planned in view of promoting inclusive learning at a rural school, adopting a transdisciplinary and creative outlook that values life. This paper is a sample of a Master’s thesis in Education in which we studied the continuing education of a rural teacher. In line with our main goal, we will discuss the teacher’s training process, in which actions were planned collaboratively and creatively, geared towards inclusive learning, the development of rural students, social justice for rural people and the appreciation of their specific knowledge, with sustainable agriculture as the basis for a good life. The methodology was influenced by Barbier’s (2007) existential action research and data were gathered through participant observation and reflective sessions. Results show that regardless of rural students’ physical, intellectual, or linguistic abilities, valuing rural their agency and leadership in school learning processes allows them to feel and live their education, and also to incorporate their peasant roots in their project for the future as planetary citizens. As students experience this process of authorship and agency in the production of their school knowledge, it promotes innovative projects aimed at responding to the emergence of local and global challenges in our society
El derecho al amor lésbico en Cristina Peri Rossi: Interseccionalidad, precedente y reparación de la niña y adolescente
Authors: Falconi Diego
Published: October 2023

A partir de la teoría de las emociones (especialmente desde la mirada sexodisidente y latinoamericanista) así como de los estudios de derecho/literatura me interesa analizar el amor lésbico de la niña y la adolescente en la novela La insumisa y en el relato breve “Tristán e Isolda”, ambos de Cristina Peri Rossi. Para ello, resumo parte de la teoría de las emociones y su uso en América Latina para luego explorar los conceptos de subalternización adulta, precedente e interseccionalidad que aplico en el análisis textual de personajes y narradoras en relación a la autora uruguaya/española para entender las estrategias narrativas que Peri Rossi utiliza para subrayar su visión sobre el amor como discurso hegemónico que debe revisarse y como posibilidad de una práctica otra vinculada al deseo lésbico, que posibilita resemantizar esta compleja emoción en el texto literario.
“Ver salir los barcos”, “nuestra manera particular de cambiar la ley de los hombres”. una lectura Improductiva del amor y la escritura en cristina Peri Rossi
Authors: Pérez Fontdevila Aina
Published: October 2023

Tomando como pretexto el poema “Los grandes transatlánticos”, de Inmovilidad de los barcos (1997), este artículo explora los vínculos entre amor, deseo y textualidad en la escritura de Cristina Peri Rossi, con especial énfasis en sus relatos breves. Frente a las relaciones negativas que caracterizan el capitalismo avanzado (Illouz 2020), parodiadas en la obra más reciente de la escritora uruguaya, el artículo explora algunos modos en los cuales su escritura asume el riesgo de la interpelación y de la alteración, resistiéndose al mismo tiempo a tres tipos de productividad: la producción de identidades fijas y estables desde la perspectiva del género y el deseo; la re/producción de esos dos bienes que, según cierta economía antipoética y antierótica de la escasez y de la utilidad, producen las relaciones sexuales y amorosas (esto es, hijos y orgasmos); y la de las identidades ensimismadas del régimen sexo-afectivo cisheteropatriarcal.

Authors: Moreira Lyra Luana
Published: October 2023

La insuficiencia cardiaca (IC) es un síndrome de prevalencia elevada que representa el 2% de la población adulta y más del 10% de los mayores de 70 años. Actualmente está en aumento y su pronóstico es desalentador. El diagnóstico es clínico y se sustenta con los criterios de Framingham. Además, se requiere de datos laboratoriales (entre los que destaca el BNP y el pro-BNP) e imagenológicos como el ecocardiograma. El tratamiento varía en función el estadio clínico y la fracción de eyección identificada con el ecocardiograma. En el estadio A y B se combaten los fatores de riesgo. En el estadio C de IC propiamente dicha se incluyen cuatro pilares farmacológicos: 1. Una droga dirigida contra el sistema renina angiotensina aldosterona (SRAA), 2. Beta bloqueantes, 3. Antagonista de receptores de mineralocorticoides y 4. Inhibidor del trasportador de sodio glucosa 2 (iSGTL2). Además, se añade diuréticos ante síntomas congestivos.

Authors: Bassante Jiménez Segundo Adolfo
Published: October 2023

El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar el nivel de incidencia entre la identidad cultural y los estilos de liderazgo relacionados con un factor motivacional, para lo cual fue necesario disponer de un instrumento de medida diseñado desde la óptica en la que se pueda medir las variables inmersas. El estudio cualitativo dio como resultado un constructo que aporta información en archivo Excel y los resultados se modelaron para ser obtenidos en tres fases: estadísticos descriptivos, estadísticos de correlación y ecuaciones estructurales simuladas, tendientes a medir la relación entre la identidad cultural y el liderazgo; la variable identidad cultural determinada por cuatro factores y que a la vez se propendió a aislar su pérdida; y, la variable liderazgo empresarial que aglutinó 10 estilos; y, fue apoyado en la fase de simulación por el factor motivacional de intervalo cerrado [0,1], dando como resultado la relación directa y proporcional del estadístico teórico propuesto por Nunnally de 0,70 como coeficiente adecuado, la misma que detectó a dos estilos de liderazgo empresarial de mayor práctica como son el coordinador y dominante, corroborando así la proposición en la que se determina la relación directa y proporcional existente entre las variables sujetas a estudio

La experiencia de los migrantes en su tránsito por Panamá hacia Estados Unidos es una odisea marcada por una serie de desafíos significativos, violaciones de derechos humanos y una incierta perspectiva de protección social. En su búsqueda de mejores oportunidades de vida y seguridad, los migrantes de América Central y otros países de la región atraviesan Panamá en su camino hacia los Estados Unidos, pero se enfrentan a numerosos obstáculos a lo largo de este peligroso viaje. Uno de los principales desafíos que enfrentan los migrantes es la falta de seguridad en su ruta. Muchos de ellos se ven obligados a cruzar selvas densas, ríos y áreas montañosas, lo que los expone a riesgos de enfermedades, accidentes y ataques de bandas criminales. Además, la falta de regulación en estas zonas hace que sean vulnerables a la explotación por parte de traficantes de personas y contrabandistas que los extorsionan y abusan de ellos. Las violaciones de derechos humanos son una preocupación constante en este contexto. Los migrantes a menudo son detenidos de manera arbitraria por las autoridades panameñas y sometidos a condiciones inhumanas en centros de detención migratoria. Las mujeres y niños son especialmente vulnerables a la explotación sexual y el tráfico de personas.

Published: October 2023

El presente artículo de revisión tiene como objetivo determinar el papel que cumple la comprensión lectora en los procesos de transformación integral de las personas y la sociedad. Para tal fin, se realiza una investigación documental de temas asociados a la comprensión lectora y la conexión que tiene con los procesos de aprendizaje, además de su contribución a la formación integral de los individuos. Asimismo, se realiza un breve análisis de la forma como la comprensión lectora es entendida por algunas naciones y la importancia que le dan a esta, lo cual se refleja en los resultados obtenidos en las Pruebas PISA, de los cuales se hace mención con la intención de distinguir las causas de la gran disparidad que se presenta entre los países, principalmente los latinoamericanos. Finalmente, se aborda brevemente el caso colombiano, verificando las posibles causas que conducen a un puntaje bajo en las pruebas PISA, apoyándose para tal fin en las Pruebas Saber 11, en su componente de lectura crítica, de dos establecimientos oficiales de la ciudad de Montería con población perteneciente a estratos socioeconómicos 1 y 2, así como dos establecimientos privados de la misma ciudad, con población perteneciente a estratos socioeconómicos 4,5 y 6.
