Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT Purpose Compare the psychoeducational profiles of children with verbal and non-verbal Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Methods Cross-sectional study conducted with a sample of 30 children with a medical diagnosis of ASD (15 verbal and 15 non-verbal) aged 2-9 years. The Psychoeducational Profile-Revised (PEP-R) scale was applied to assess the children’s development. The data were analyzed quantitatively and comparatively. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was performed to evaluate the compatibility between the groups regarding the scores obtained in each PEP-R area, with chronological age as the covariate, and Student’s t-Test was used for the independent samples (p≤0.001). Results The scores in the different areas of the PEP-R were higher in the verbal group, with associations between language development and cognitive and social adaptive skills in the studied sample. Comparison between the groups showed a lower profile of the non-verbal group, with statistically significant differences in the areas of imitation, perception, gross and fine motor coordination, eye-hand coordination, cognitive performance, and verbal performance. Conclusion The goal of comparing the psychoeducational profiles of verbal and non-verbal ASD children was reached, and statistically significant differences were observed. The children with non-verbal ASD presented a lower psychoeducational profile compared with that of verbal ASD children. Further studies with larger samples, delimited age groups, and more specific tests in each developmental area are suggested.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar respostas de futuros professores quanto à autopercepção de sintomas vocais e conhecimento sobre saúde vocal e higiene vocal, relacionando-os às variáveis sociodemográficas, ocupacionais e conhecimento prévio sobre voz. Método Estudo observacional, analítico e transversal. Participaram 264 alunos de licenciatura, foram aplicados Questionário de Saúde e Higiene Vocal (QSHV), Escala de Sintomas Vocais (ESV) e questionário com perguntas sociodemográficas, ocupacionais e vocais. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente considerando nível de significância 5%. Resultados QSHV de futuros professores apresentou escore médio total de 21,89, sugestivo de conhecimento insuficiente sobre saúde e higiene vocal. Resultados da ESV estão acima da nota de corte do instrumento, nos três domínios e no escore total, observou-se maior sintomatologia em estudantes do primeiro ano quando comparados aos demais estudantes, nos domínios emocional, limitação e total. Houve diferença na comparação do QSHV com o ano da graduação (p=0,001), em que alunos dos terceiros e quartos anos obtiveram pontuações maiores. Observou-se correlação positiva entre escore total do QSHV e variável idade (p=0,019). Conclusão Futuros professores apresentam sintomatologia vocal importante, compatível aos indivíduos disfônicos, e possuem conhecimento insuficiente sobre saúde e higiene vocal. O conhecimento é ainda menor em alunos dos anos de graduação iniciais e com menor idade. Futuros professores com mais idade demonstram ter mais conhecimento sobre saúde e higiene vocal. Faz-se necessária a proposição de ações preventivas à essa população, ainda no período da graduação, visando à diminuição dos riscos ao desenvolvimento de problemas vocais em médio ou longo prazo durante a docência.

Published: October 2023

Resumo Este artigo busca aferir a diversidade decisória dos governos subnacionais no enfrentamento à Covid-19, em agilidade e intensidade de reação, onde o tempo é uma variável essencial. As ações dos gestores subnacionais são consideradas pela produção normativa, por via de decretos. Adotamos dois recortes, sendo o primeiro por três subconjuntos: i. governos dos 26 estados e Distrito Federal; ii. 26 capitais; e iii. municípios selecionados. O segundo consistiu na adoção do axioma “rápido distanciamento social como medida mais eficaz”, no enfrentamento à pandemia, conforme prescrito pela OMS. A intensidade da reação foi mensurada pelo quantitativo de decretos e os tempos de reação, considerando o intervalo entre o decreto nacional e os decretos subnacionais. As variações de intensidade e tempo de reação sugerem que, diante da ausência do governo federal, o país atuou sem uma referência comum, seguindo parâmetros próprios, fragmentados e inconsistentes com a estratégia nacional para enfrentamento da pandemia.
Migración, experiencias interculturales y arraigo: venezolanos(as) y colombianos(as) residentes en Santiago de Chile (2017-2022)

Published: October 2023

Resumen El propósito del artículo es comprender los procesos de incorporación y arraigo de migrantes sudamericanos en Santiago de Chile, en el contexto de la movilidad Sur-Sur. El análisis se realiza a partir de una investigación cualitativa realizada entre 2017 y 2022, sobre los colectivos colombiano y venezolano, de acuerdo con dos asuntos: i. asentamiento; y ii. evaluación de imaginarios de futuro. Se concluye que en los colombianos(as) hay una memoria de violencia por el conflicto armado y proceso de paz inconcluso en su país, que les produce sentido permanecer en Chile; y en los venezolanos(as) hay un sentimiento de vivir un estado de transitoriedad y nostalgia que generan ambivalencia respecto a arraigarse en Chile. Además, en los tres últimos años (en contexto de crisis política y pandemia), se observa en los venezolanos(as) una estratificación interna y disputa de imaginarios en la convivencia con la población chilena, así como la consolidación de lo que parece ser un enclave étnico en la comuna de Santiago.

ABSTRACT This research aims to describe the cost-benefit analysis of selective therapy adoption for clinical mastitis based on the identification of pathogens using on-farm culture system. A survey of clinical mastitis cases was carried out in the database of a dairy herd with 500 lactating Holstein cows, during the period of September 2017 to October 2019. Variables such as frequency of cases, main pathogens identified, costs with antibiotic therapies and milk disposal were evaluated and compared between one year before (P1) and after (P2), the farm's selective therapy adoption. During the study period, 599 cases of clinical mastitis were identified, 361 in P1 and 238 in P2. The average cost of therapies was US74.33 and US91.82 for P1 and P2. Considering the two years of the study, the estimated cost of treating clinical mastitis was US45,444.31, of which US$27,559.97 were spent in P1 and US17,884.34 in P2. Based on the result of the identification of the pathogen types associated with clinical mastitis, selective therapy demonstrated cost reduction already in the first year of implementation.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to characterize the milk production in the central Amazonian region of the state of Amazonas. A questionnaire, consisting of objective questions, was applied to a sample of 50 properties located in the municipalities of Careiro da Várzea and Itacoatiara. The studied mesoregion develops an extensive dairy cattle breeding, where most of the producers have low schooling (60%), did not receive financing or financial incentive (70%) for the development of the dairy activity, nor are they engaged in associations or cooperatives (96%). Manual milking occurs in 100% of the analyzed properties, only once a day, with only 10% performing hygiene procedures in milking. The average production identified in the region was 3. 5L/cow/day. The uncontrolled natural mount is the only way used in the reproductive management of the properties. The current production is diversified in cattle and bubaline mixed-race (90%). In this region all the owners make use of native pastures. This region develops an extensive dairy cattle ranching, and the efficiency of the production system is limited due to inadequate sanitary, reproductive and food management, which favors low animal productivity.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Low back pain is defined as pain, muscle spasm, or stiffness between the L1 and L5 vertebrae, below the lower margin of the twelfth rib and above the upper gluteal fold, and may or may not be associated with pain radiating to the lower limbs. Objective: To determine the prevalence of low back pain in spine surgeons. Method: A non-randomized quantitative cross-sectional clinical study was carried out in a sample of 95 spine surgeons in Brazil, with the application of the Oswestry and visual analog pain scales, in addition to a structured questionnaire for the characterization of the participants. Results: Among the studied population, 69.5% were orthopedists, 30.5% were neurosurgeons, and the mean age of the sample was 46 years (±10.6), with neurosurgeons being older than orthopedists. Regarding BMI, the majority (77.8%) were overweight or obese, and seventy-six percent performed physical activity. The prevalence of low back pain was 58.9%. No relevant differences were found in the time spent weekly in surgeries between those who had low back pain and those who did not (p = 0.364). Mean pain intensity was 2.0 (SD = 2.2), statistically (p = 0.025) higher in orthopedists (2.3) when compared to neurosurgeons (1.3). Regarding the ODI score, 98.2% of the surgeons had a minimal disability (0-20%) for daily activities. Conclusion: The prevalence of low back pain in spine surgeons is high and is associated with mild inability to perform daily activities.

Published: October 2023

Abstract Concrete presents complex behavior, being a difficult material to define the ideal proportion of its constituents. To overcome this challenge, many mix design methods have been developed over time. However, most of these methods do not consider durability parameters during the procedure. Thus, the objective of this article is to present a mix design method for concrete, with properties of workability (slump rating from 50 mm to 220 mm), axial compressive strength (class of 25MPa to 55MPa), and durability as response parameters. From the application of the proposed method, it was possible to create mix design and performance diagrams. It was noticed that all concretes fell into the pre-established consistency class and presented axial compressive strength results close to the predetermined values. Moreover, it was possible to obtain indications of the material's durability.
Las revistas científicas como objetos narrativos de las ciencias
Authors: Martinovich Viviana
Published: October 2023

Desde un marco referencial que integra la filosofía hermenéutica de Hans-Georg Gadamer y Paul Ricoeur, la teoría crítica de Herbert Marcuse y Jürgen Habermas y las tradiciones de la historia del libro y la lectura con las obras de Roger Chartier y Martyn Lyons, entre otros, este ensayo propone comprender las revistas científicas como objetos narrativos de las ciencias, que nuclean comunidades que comparten formas comunes de interpretar el mundo y moldean formas consensuadas de narrar esa comprensión común del mundo. Desde nuestra perspectiva, las revistas científicas entretejen la racionalidad presente en las conversaciones que se dan en el plano narrativo con las conversaciones de su entorno social. Ambas conversaciones se retroalimentan, y en esa dinámica convergen tanto acciones macrosociales vinculadas a dimensiones políticas, técnicas, económicas, culturales y/o religiosas, como así también una serie de prácticas mediadoras que operan a nivel microsocial, vinculadas a saberes editoriales, canales formales e informales de circulación, redes de colaboración y capacidades operativas, que tienen la potencialidad de legitimar, deslegitimar o incluso anular la circulación de determinadas conversaciones.
Improving the precision of light weight deflectometers through annual correlation trials
Authors: Gordon Michael , McHale Michael J. , Ferguson Alan
Published: October 2023

Light weight deflectometers (LWDs) are portable and cost-effective devices that play a vital role in checking the quality of highway foundations and base installations for sports facilities such as football pitches and athletics tracks. As LWDs are accepted for use as part of compliance testing, it is essential that the results produced are reliable. This paper summarises the results of two UK-wide correlation trials carried out in 2021 and 2022. Machines and operators from 42 organisations attended the trials, in which the performance of 175 LWDs was assessed against the larger falling weight deflectometer (FWD). This paper provides some background to the use of LWDs and the design of the trial, including the collection and analysis of data. The relationship between the LWD and the FWD, including data variability and the influence of different testing regimes, was examined. The main findings of the trials are summarised and recommendations are made to maintain the precision of LWD devices.
Phasal transfer and anti-locality: Movement of objects in Japanese
Authors: Takahashi Masahiko
Published: October 2023

In this paper, based on an analysis of the scope properties of objects in Japanese, I argue that (i) an entire phase is transferred when a higher phase is completed, and (ii) the movement of objects and adjuncts is constrained by anti-locality. I propose that in the potential construction, the movement of accusative objects is more constrained than the movement of nominative objects owing to the interaction between phasal transfer and anti-locality, which leads the accusative and nominative objects to exhibit distinct scope behaviors. This analysis leads us to conclude that negation in Japanese is an adjunct. Furthermore, the analysis correctly predicts the movement of objects in simple transitive sentences and the non-movement of nominative phrases in certain cases.
Absolute heat sources as a method to check the accuracy of temperature prediction in underground structures within cryolithozone
Authors: Galkin A. F. , Pankov V. Yu.
Published: October 2023

Forecasting the thermal regime of mine workings and the surrounding rock mass is a necessary element of the design of underground structures in cryolithic zone. This is particularly necessary when substantiating and selecting reliable methods and means of rock supporting, in order to ensure safe operation of underground structures during the entire standard service life. Changes in the temperature of discontinuous permafrost rocks in the range of negative values (below the ice point in the rock) can lead to a decrease in their strength characteristics, and consequently to a decrease in the stability of workings. The aim of the research was to compare two ways of considering absolute heat sources (point sources and sources uniformly distributed along the length of a mine working) when forecasting the thermal regime in mine workings of underground structures. The dependencies used to determine temperature differences in various methods of considering absolute heat sources were established. For the sake of generality, the dependencies were produced in dimensionless (criterial) form. The variants were calculated, and the results are presented in the form of graphs. The aim is to visually present the influence of the method of heat sources when considering the accuracy of air temperature prediction in an underground facility. Key qualitative and quantitative features of the formation of thermal regime in workings at different methods of considering absolute heat sources were established. It was shown in particular that during the transition from a negative temperature in a working to a positive one, incorrect consideration of the action of absolute heat sources can lead to an almost 30 % (1.26 times) difference (i.e., error) in the calculated depth of thawing of discontinuous rocks. It was also established that at a positive temperature, when the initial air temperature in a structure is more than 7.5 oC, there is no fundamental difference in engineering calculations results depending on the method of considering of absolute heat sources.
WHAT IS A PROBLEM IN THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THINKING AND WHY IS IT NEEDED

This paper is focused on the problem as the main tool for modeling of thinking and creativity. It traces the history of using problems in the psychology of thinking and analyzes how classical works in this field describe the relationship between a problem, a task, a problem situation, etc. Problem complexity is treated as the key property that allows researchers to study patterns of the solution process. Two main methods of complexity manipulation are facilitation and inhibition. Each may be external or internal in relation to the problem. Studies of external facilitation look at series of similar problems with a gradual increase in complexity, while internal facilitation involves the reduction of sources of difficulty using a hint. External inhibition studies analyze the role of past experience or social pressure, while internal inhibition entails “reverse hints” that lead the participants away from the correct solution path. This article discusses the following issues: which part of the solution should be complicated to further the theories of problem solving? Can the complication of a problem turn it into a qualitatively more complex problem? Internal problem structure is found to be stable, since all experimental manipulations affect the solution process but leave the essence of the problem intact.

Abandoning the strategy of consciously searching for a solution can be an insight mechanism. A number of studies have shown that control is important for both insightful and non-insightful tasks. From this it follows that the control has different functions. Insight occurs in several stages, at which the role of control is different. In the beginning, the task is solved as noninsightful and control is needed for intelligence. This continues until an impasse in the solution is reached. Next, intuitive processes come to the first role, and the role of control is decreasing. To study the dynamics of control, the subject performs a dual task, solving the main task (insightful or non-insightful, visual or verbal) and simultaneously reacting to sound stimuli (two levels of complexity of reactions). To study the role of control, we propose to use modally non-specific stimuli (sound signals) presented in the single tone paradigm. Twenty-five people took part in the study. No significant differences in dynamics were obtained. The probe-task was performed much more slowly from the middle stage of solving a non-insightful task to the end of the solution. The execution of the probe-task when solving the insightful task was uniform. A non-insightful task forces you to operate with voluminous intermediate data; this requires more resources of the central executor block.

Sustainable professional development of the young generation is a foundation for the present, a resource for the future, and it makes a significant contribution to the economic, environmental, and social stability of our society. As never before, professional self-identity and realistic professional plans become relevant for the persistent career development of modern schoolchildren and students. The present article theoretically substantiated three factors that are fundamental for studying the psychological characteristics of the high school students’ professional plans: personality traits, conscious self-regulation, and career adaptability. The empirical study had its purpose to examine carefully the relationship between personality traits, conscious self-regulation, career adaptability, and professional plans of high school students in the Russian schools. To this end, a conceptual model of intrapersonal and regulatory predictors of the certainty and sustainability of the young people's professional plans was proposed and tested on a sample of schoolchildren in grades 9, 10, and 11 (N = 675). Methods: “Self-Regulation Profile Questionnaire, SRPQM-2020” by V.I. Morosanova, the Russian adaptation of “Career Adapt-Abilities Scale, CAAS” by M. Saviсkas and E. Porfeli, the Russian adaptation of the “The Big Five Inventory2 (BFI-2)” by K. Soto and O. John, as well as the ad hoc questionnaire on the students' professional plans. The structural modeling analysis of the obtained data demonstrated that certainty and stability of the professional plans in the high school students depend on the developmental level of their career adaptability, including all career-oriented resources: concern, control, curiosity, confidence. At the same time, the conscious self-regulation of achieving goals also contributes to the certainty and sustainability of students' professional / academic plans through their career adaptability, which acts as a mediator of this influence. As for personality traits, they make an indirect contribution to the professional plans of young people, determining the development of conscious self-regulation and career adaptability. The results obtained reveal the importance of general psychological (conscious self-regulation) and professionally oriented (career adaptability) resources of students in their professional development.

The rapid development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the 21st century has influenced various aspects of people’s lives, one of which is in the educational field. ICT has a vital role in the development of learning systems. This study aims to analyze the elementary school students’ ICT literacy skills in the border area of Cirebon Regency. The research method used was a survey method with a quantitative descriptive approach. Data collection techniques utilized a questionnaire. The research sample consisted of 157 grade V elementary school students in the Sedong Sub-district located on the border of Cirebon Regency, Indonesia. The results showed that 82% of students had ICT devices, such as laptops, smartphones, or tablets, with 61% of students accustomed to using ICT devices in their daily lives for between 2-6 hours per day. However, the students’ ICT literacy level was still at level 1 out of 6 levels. Only 32% of students used ICT devices to find information as needed, and 27% of students utilized ICT devices for discussion about learning. Students used it more for entertainment, such as listening to music, watching videos, playing games, and joking with their friends on social media. In this case, students need guidance and direction in using ICT devices to be used as needed in daily life even though they are in the border area between regions. This study’s benefit is to see the percentage of elementary school students’ ICT literacy level as a preliminary study for other ongoing studies.

Authors: Fitriyani Fitriyani , Barokah Awalina
Published: October 2023

It is crucial to describe language development and socio-emotional behavior in children with speech delays. Many cases of speech delays in children are caused by the use of gadgets. Early detection of language and speech development problems, intervention programs carried out, and academic and socio-emotional development of children with speech and language disorders will greatly help overcome these problems. This study was conducted to describe language development and socio-emotional behavior in children with speech delays caused by the use of gadgets, early detection of language and speech development problems, intervention programs carried out, and academic and social-emotional development of children with speech and language disorders. The research was based on observations of a 9-year-old child, conducted from September 2018 to January 2019, with data collection since 2012 when language and speech disorders were early detected. The research applied a qualitative approach, with a case study method, while the data collection was through observation, interviews, and documentary studies. This study’s findings showed that the socio-emotional behavior caused by the influence of the gadget use had a major effect on children's development with speech delay problems; thus, an appropriate intervention program is needed for the family and environment. These results have implications for helping children with language and speech problems, not only being strictly allowed to use gadgets but also directed to obtain stimuli to reduce excessive socio-emotional levels in these children.

Technology development in the modern era assists teachers in creating a collaborative learning environment. Despite the effectiveness of audio-visual materials in teaching and learning, there are still some hinderances in its usage. This study investigated the effects of audio-visual aids on students’ academic performance in social studies in junior secondary schools. This study is an experimental study and the sample comprised of 50 junior secondary schools. The audio-visual was in powerpoint format with concepts of marriage as material of the social studies. Students were given test questions after been taught with the Audio-visual and the results of the test are indicators of their academic performance.  Analysis of the data was carried out using analysis of t-test analysis. The findings established that audio-visual aids had positive effect on students’ performance and there is no significant difference between the performance of male and female students taught using audio-visual aids. This study concluded that audio-visual method of teaching had positive effect on student's academic performance. Thus, this implies that the conventional method of teaching is less effective and performance oriented. It was however recommended that adequate supervision, monitoring and the use of audio-visual in teaching social studies by teachers of the schools should be encouraged and given adequate attention.

Published: October 2023

This research was motivated by students' low mathematical reasoning ability in elementary schools and the demands of numeracy literacy through the minimum competency assessment (AKM) program launched by the government, requiring students to improve their reasoning abilities by applying a metacognitive approach. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the metacognitive approach in improving students' mathematical reasoning abilities on the material of the spatial structure. The method used in this study was an experimental research method with a quasi-experimental approach, with a sample size of 59 students (31 students in the control class and 28 students in the experimental class), with a pretest-posttest-only control group design. The results obtained from the calculation of the independent sample t-test revealed a t-count of 0.356, less than a t-table of 2.002. It indicates no difference in students' mathematical reasoning ability between the experimental and control classes. Thus, the metacognitive learning approach did not significantly affect the mathematical reasoning ability of students in sixth grade of State Elementary School of Pamulang 01. In other words, it can be said that the metacognitive learning approach for students at State Elementary School of Pamulang 01 was not appropriate for learning mathematics.

Mathematics teaching process in kindergarten must adapt to the pandemic situation which requires learning from a distance. This research develops an Android-based application for learning mathematical concepts, named EduGame Maru, consisting of five types of games: recognizing numbers, algebra, statistics, geometry, and probability. This research aimed to create an interactive, innovative, and practical application as a digital medium. The method used in this research was the RD model, with 4D development (define, design, develop, and disseminate). The EduGame Maru application received a validation result of "very feasible for use," with 3.36 points from media expert validators and 3.64 points from material expert validators, so the average was 3.50. Meanwhile, during the testing at Kindergarten Labschool, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, Serang Campus, the EduGame Maru application got 3.56 points from the teacher's assessment. In this case, the EduGame Maru application not only trains cognitive abilities but also helps children to understand early mathematical concepts by applying the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) principles. Therefore, it can be concluded that EduGame Maru can help teachers and parents optimize the cognitive aspects of children aged 4-6 years, especially early mathematical concepts during online learning.

One of the skills that students need to possess in the 21st century is the ability to think critically. Students' critical thinking skills can be developed in natural science learning. Nonetheless, not all learning models can help students improve their critical thinking skills. Undoubtedly, a suitable learning model must be chosen; the most crucial step is understanding the student's preferred learning method. This study, therefore, aims to determine the influence of the inquiry learning model in improving students' critical thinking skills in terms of various student learning styles. This study used a quantitative research approach. The method used was an experimental research method with a 2x2 factorial ANOVA experimental research type. This research was conducted in class V at eight elementary schools in Majalengka Regency, with a total sample of 262 students. The data collection instrument employed was an essay test. The data analysis techniques utilized were the normality test, homogeneity test, and the Two-Way ANOVA test using the SPSS version 25 application. The results of this study demonstrated that the critical thinking skills of students with a kinesthetic learning style had a higher average score than those with an audio-visual learning style when the teacher applied the inquiry learning model to natural science learning. It was because the activities of the inquiry learning model in science learning involved a lot of physical movement activities, which are characteristics of students with a kinesthetic learning style.
