PECULIARITIES OF IMPLEMENTING THE PARTNERSHIP PRINCIPLE IN THE FORMATION OF SUBJECT COMPETENCIES IN PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS
Authors: Fedorova Liudmyla
Published: May 2020

The reorientation of the modern school to the conditions of partnership, cooperation, interaction, equality and systematicity in the educational process leads to the development of key and subject competencies that become important and decisive values of the New Ukrainian School. Each child is a unique, independent, creative person, endowed with abilities and opportunities, the development of which should be supported and increased by both the family and the school. The famous Ukrainian teacher, academician O. Savchenko, in the pedagogy of partnership of the New Ukrainian School, determined the principles of social partnership. In her opinion, the constructive model of interaction between the family and the school, on the one hand, provides for productive and responsible models of behavior between family, children and teachers, combining respect, trust, dialogue, volunteerism, equality and responsibility, and on the other hand provides opportunities for improving the educational process, educational activities and systematic work on the study of subject competencies. A means of creating a new educational environment is the formation of the subject competencies of younger pupils in the process of studying the "Design and Technology" course. Four-year students of the Faculty of Psychology and Education, majoring in primary education, were actively involved in the system work, they actively prepared, organized, and conducted a lesson on the subject of “Making viburnum twigs using quilling technique”. The most effective and interesting forms for parents, children, and teachers turned out to be forms that demonstrated their attitude to their own children, expressed a desire to help, and provided a developing environment during the lesson. The experience of primary school teachers shows that the implementation of the partnership principle, as of now the problem is relevant and timely for primary education, the family and the New Ukrainian School as a whole.

Zircon (ZrSiO4) is the most frequently used geochronometer of terrestrial and extraterrestrial processes. To shed light on question of zircon survival in the Earth's shallow asthenosphere, high-temperature experiments of zircon dissolution in natural mid-ocean ridge basaltic (MORB) and synthetic haplobasaltic melts have been performed at temperatures of 1250–1300 °C and pressures from 0.1 MPa to 0.7 GPa. Zirconium measurements were made in situ by electron probe microanalyses (EPMA) at high current. Taking into account secondary fluorescence effects in zircon-glass pairs during EPMA, a zirconium diffusion coefficient of 2.87E-08 cm2/s was determined at 1300 °C and 0.5 GPa. When applied to the question of zircon survival in asthenospheric melts of tholeiitic basalt composition, the data are used to infer that typical 100 mm zircon crystals dissolve rapidly (~10 h) and congruently upon reaction with basaltic melt at pressures of 0.2–0.7 GPa. We observed incongruent (to crystal ZrO2 and SiO2 in melt) dissolution of zircon in natural mid-ocean ridge the basaltic melt at low pressures <0.2 GPa and in the haplobasaltic melt at 0.7 GPa pressure. Our experimental data raise questions about the origin of zircon crystals in mafic and ultramafic rocks, in particular, in shallow oceanic asthenosphere and deep lithosphere, as well as the meaning of the zircon-based ages estimated from these minerals. The origin of zircon in shallow (ultra-) mafic chambers is likely related to the crystallization of intercumulus liquid. Large zircon megacrysts in kimberlites, peridotites, alkali basalts, and carbonatite magmas suggest fast transport and short interaction durations between zircon and melt. The origin of zircon megacrysts is likely related to metasomatic addition of Zr into the mantle as an episode of mantle melting should eliminate them on geologically short timescales.
Women Offenders as a Social Phenomenon: Transformation and Deformation of Social Roles
Authors: Kranzeeva Elena , Sapegina Ksenia
Published: May 2020

The research featured women offenders as a social phenomenon associated with the social role of women. The study was based on the socio-role approach. The authors defined women's crime as an integral part of all crimes committed by women on a certain territory over a certain time period. The statistics of female crime in Russia and its regions came from the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation, the Chief Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Kemerovo Region, and the Territorial Authority of the Federal State Statistics Service. The authors also analyzed cases of fraud related to maternity capital funds. Firstly, female crime proved an integral part of crime in general; it has its own specifics and is directly related to the roles that women play in society. Secondly, women commit mostly profit-related crimes, e.g. theft or fraud, while murder proved more typical of men. Thirdly, maternity fund fraud appeared to be a relatively new type of crime. Apparently, its female character is associated with childbearing and maternal function. Swindlers see new opportunities in maternal funds, and a woman in distress can easily become an instrument of their criminal activity.

Published: May 2020

O artigo discute as práticas e os conhecimentos tradicionais associados à pesca no contexto de conﬂitos socioambientais envolvendo criadores de búfalos e as comunidades quilombolas Bom Jesus e São Caetano, ambos localizadas no Território Sesmaria do Jardim, município de Matinha, Estado do Maranhão. As estratégias de mobilização social levadas a cabo pelas famílias quilombolas com vistas a conservação do ambiente e o direito de acesso e uso dos recursos presentes nos campos inundáveis também são objeto de reﬂexão neste texto. Partimos de uma abordagem da pesquisa-ação e os métodos de investigação se assentam em entrevistas etnográﬁcas, lista livre, observação participante, discussões em grupo de enfoque e oﬁcinas para ação pública. Os resultados demonstram como diferentes atores sociais se apropriam de modos distintos dos campos para exercer usos concorrentes. Os pescadores artesanais reivindicam o livre acesso ao campo enquanto recurso de uso comum, para o desenvolvimento de suas práticas sociais no trabalho da pesca associado à conservação dos recursos e da natureza. Criadores de búfalos e piscicultores, numa outra lógica, impõem a privatização dos campos, através da implantação de cercas elétricas e açudes artiﬁciais para criação de peixes exóticos. Concluímos que a pesca artesanal dos quilombolas se constitui de práticas e conhecimentos tradicionais, e acima de tudo é construída por processos de resistência por direitos deﬁnidos num campo de forças políticas.
QUANDO A DESTERRITORIALIZAÇÃO VEM DO RIO: A POLUIÇÃO DO RIO GRAMAME NA COMUNIDADE QUILOMBOLA DE MITUAÇU, PB
Authors: Pinheiro Patrícia dos Santos , Paixão Aline Maria Pinto da
Published: May 2020

A Bacia do rio Gramame, estado da Paraíba, Brasil, é uma das principais fontes de abastecimento da Grande João Pessoa e também de onde muitos ribeirinhos e quilombolas tiram seu sustento. No entanto, modificações causadas por cargas de poluição no rio Gramame têm se tornado recorrentes e se somam ao cenário brasileiro de inquietante frequência de conflitos e eventos que têm na questão ambiental um importante componente. Essas contaminações, que ocorrem por ao menos quatro décadas no Gramame, possuem origem industrial, agrícola e urbana e causam mudanças nas características do rio. Um dos territórios afetados é a comunidade quilombola de Mituaçu, na área rural do município do Conde (PB). Com terras férteis e protegida por rios, especialmente o Gramame, esse rio é mencionado como tendo criado muitas famílias em Mituaçu: ele “protege” a comunidade dos avanços da cidade; é onde tomavam banho; onde aprenderam a nadar, pescar, andar de barco; muitos moradores lembram que outrora a pesca evitava a fome, ao suprir a comunidade com abundância de caranguejos, peixes e camarões. Diante desse quadro, este artigo procura analisar as ressignificações e adaptações deste território, diante (e apesar) do cenário associado em particular à poluição deste rio. Procuramos descrever, entre práticas criativas e memórias, a conformação de sistemas complexos de conhecimento tradicional que se reinventam tendo em vista as mudanças que experimentaram.
PESCA, POLÍTICA E PARENTESCO: ORGANIZAÇÕES PRODUTIVAS E PROCESSOS DE FAMILIARIZAÇÃO EM COLETIVOS DE PESCAS POTIGUARES
Authors: Almeida Filho Paulo Gomes de
Published: May 2020

A proposta deste artigo é discutir o papel conferido ao parentesco por coletivos de pesca artesanais e industriais do litoral potiguar. Faço isso através dos dados coletados em pesquisas antropológicas realizadas ao longo de dez anos junto a diferentes grupos. Tomando o parentesco enquanto um símbolo cultural pelo qual os grupos estudados elaboram uma identidade pescadora, na primeira parte da discussão, mostrarei como o parentesco é construído nesse universo social e a maneira como ele estrutura a organização produtiva. Na segunda parte, volto minha atenção ao conflito envolvendo as organizações políticas da pesca em São Miguel do Gostoso, que resultou na criação de uma Associação de pescadores mais afinada à organização política tradicional onde as relações de parentesco são centrais.
DEMARCANDO FRONTEIRAS MORAIS: UMA ANÁLISE DA CATEGORIA OLHO GRANDE EM SITUAÇÕES DE CONFLITO
Authors: Tardelli Gabriel Calil Maia
Published: May 2020

Os pescadores da Praia de Piratininga em Niterói (RJ) acusam de “olho grande” quem não compartilha os peixes capturados, quem prefere pescar individualmente, quem mantém segredos sobre pontos de pesca, quem se apropria dos espaços da praia de forma particularizada, quem ocupa as areias apenas para fins comerciais, desvinculados da atividade pesqueira. O olho grande é uma categoria acusatória e, ao mesmo tempo, um mecanismo de controle social, na medida em que expressa uma moralidade que se opõe à lógica individualista. Neste artigo, analiso algumas situações sociais nas quais essa categoria é acionada, de modo a tentar compreender os conflitos e as fronteiras morais que são demarcadas na praia por pescadores que exercem diferentes artes de pesca e por barraqueiros, homens e mulheres que vendem ali comidas e bebidas.
ESPACIALIZAÇÃO DAS CHUVAS EM UMA BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA NO SEMIÁRIDO DA PARAÍBA
Authors: Rodrigues Jeferson Mauricio
Published: May 2020

O semiárido nordestino do Brasil apresenta altas temperaturas associadas a baixos valores pluviométricos, que ocorrem de forma intensa e mal distribuída no espaço geográfico. Nessa perspectiva, existe a necessidade de compreensão da dinâmica das chuvas no perímetro seco no intuito de fundamentar as diversas formas de gestão dos recursos hídricos. No entanto, a disponibilidade de dados pluviométricos nessa região por vezes é escassa, o que implica a interpolação como meio de compreensão da distribuição ou espacialização das chuvas em diversos recortes espaciais. As análises quantitativas dos dados de chuva permitem compreender a dinâmica e relação com os principais sistemas de precipitação de determinada área de estudo. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é quantificar e espacializar os dados de chuva correlacionando-os com os sistemas produtores de chuva entre um ano mais chuvoso e outro seco da bacia de drenagem do Alto Curso do Rio Piranhas, Semiárido (PB) entre janeiro de 1996 e dezembro de 2016. Dado o exposto, foi possível identificar que o ano de 2008 foi o mais chuvoso e 2012 o mais seco da série, e que a atuação da ZCIT varia interanualmente nos respectivos anos de acordo com a temperatura da TSM.

Published: May 2020

Neurological disorders and their sequelae, as of the widespread and critical humans’
complications, affect the body's nervous systems, organ functions, and behaviors. According to
WHO, neurological disorders are currently predicted to affect more than one billion people globally.
It is well-established that complementary medicine is one of the high accepted interventions
that could have been considered for the management of neurological ailments. The current review
aimed to compile all the crucial data reporting the investigation on the conspicuous intervention of
green tea (made of Camellia sinensis) and related lead compounds (especially l-theanine, epigallocatechin-
3-gallate, epicatechin-3-gallate, epicatechin, and epigallocatechin) for their neurological
activities, mechanisms of action, and clinical properties. According to the documents, green tea exhibits
antidepressant, anti-neurodegenerative (e.g., anti-Parkinson and anti-Alzheimer), as well as
neuroprotective effects.Chief among them, for offering novel work, it is worth focusing on several
related assessments with great attention to more extensive standardized clinical trials, and subsequently
more in-depth pharmacokinetic studies to safely introduce this beneficial medicinal food as
a neuro-effective agent.

The removal of volatile compounds with unfavorable fishy odor from fish has attracted
considerable research attention especially in surimi production industry. The binding of these volatile
compounds by fish proteins are reported to affect the deodorization of fishy odor. To remove the protein-
bound fishy substances effectively, the mechanisms underlying the interaction between proteins
and flavor substances and methods that can extract and analyze the aromatic substances have been
extensively studied. This paper briefly reviews the typical fishy compounds and the combination
modes and mechanisms of fish proteins with these compounds. Moreover, factors affecting the interactions
including protein conformation and solution conditions are discussed in detail.
The Morphological Development of Ordered Nanotube Structure Due to the Anodization of Ti Foil with Axial and Radial Current Flow
Authors: Lee Kar Chun , Saharudin Khairul Arifah , Sreekantan Srimala
Published: May 2020

Background:

One-dimensional titania nanotubes (TNT) have attracted increasing scientific
and technological attention due to their physical properties and their potential applications. Dimensionality
and well-aligned ordered structure have a crucial role in determining the properties and
performance of titania nanotubes. Therefore, an understanding of the transformation and growth
mechanisms to explain the origin of this nanomaterial symmetry is of great importance.

Objectives:

The relationship between the direction of current flow and the morphology of the anodized
foil was investigated to understand the influence of a compact oxide layer formation on the
growth of nanotubes.

Methods:

To achieve the purpose, single (SA) and double-sided anodization (DA) were performed to
control the direction of the current flow in this experiment by immersing one side and both sides,
respectively in the electrolyte containing 0.6 wt% of NH4F, 1.0 wt% of H2O2, and 98.4 wt% of ethylene
glycol (EG) at 60V.

Results:

It was found that the channeling of current flow into axial and radial directions influenced
the effectiveness of oxygen species in the formation of an initial oxide layer. The field-assisted dissolution
of the compact oxide layer resulted in a low-symmetry nanotube arrangement, whereas the
growth at the interface, which is governed by the plastic flow mechanism, resulted in high-symmetry
nanotube arrangement in a hexagonal form. These findings offer an integrated perspective when
determining whether the plastic flow mechanism or field-assisted dissolution occurs during anodization.
Octahedral titania crystals were also found on the surface of the anodized film, indicating the
possibility of forming facet structures via anodization.

Conclusion:

This research successfully showed the influence of current flow via SA & DA on the
growth of TiO2 nanotubes. An axial flow of current in Ti foil during SA resulted in disordered nanotubes,
while the radial flow of current during DA stemmed the growth of nanotubes from the Ti-TiO2
interface to form well oriented hexagonal nanotube structures.
Non-Conventional Technique of Machining and Metallization of Polymer Components
Authors: Kumar Raman , Chohan Jasgurpreet S. , Sehgal Satbir S.
Published: May 2020

Background:

Machining and metal coating of plastics are essential requirements as plastics
are overtaking other engineering materials nowadays. Metallization improves product life as well as
enhances its surface and mechanical properties. The machining (i.e., cutting, drilling, boring) of plastic
parts with conventional processes is difficult as the dimensional accuracy and surface finish cannot be
obtained from existing methods or/and needs multiple operations to acquire the surface finish needed.
The coating of plastic materials is also a complex method using chemicals and electricity. An
innovative method of coating and machining on plastic components has been demonstrated, which
would be beneficial for potential researchers. A detailed analysis of previous patents and techniques has
been performed based on which an advanced apparatus has been proposed.

Objective:

The objective of this study was to develop an apparatus based on non-conventional
machining techniques. Moreover, the apparatus would be capable of plating metal layer on polymers
using chemicals and fine metal particles. An in-depth analysis of previous patents used for the same
application has been performed and based on the limitations of already existing techniques.

Methods:

An apparatus for machining and metal coating of polymers utilizes compressed air at high
pressure mixed with chemical vapors. Before compression, the air is filtered to remove the impurities
and moisture. Afterwards, heated chemical vapors are mixed with air in a specific proportion for
machining of plastic parts. A jet of air and chemical vapours impinges on work material, which would
perform machining in two steps. Initially, the chemical vapours would dissolve plastic material, which
would instantly melt and starts flowing. Afterwards, the air jet would remove the excess plastic material
due to high pressure. On the other hand, metallization can also be performed using different chemicals
in proper proportion.

Results:

The apparatus makes it easy for machining and metalizing the ABS or plastic parts as the
process is performed on one apparatus simultaneously one after the other. The high speed jet of acetone
vapors has a greater tendency to perform various machining operations like cutting, drilling, boring of
ABS parts. These vapours, when mixed with pressurized air, enhance the capability of machining the
workpieces. And the metallization of plastic parts provides luster and surface finish to the workpiece.

Conclusion:

The present invention is to provide an apparatus for effectively plating or coating the machined
workpieces. Moreover, the present work provides detailing of an apparatus for improving the
mechanical strength, hardness and surface finish of the machined workpiece. In addition to this, the
proposed apparatus is enabled to make strong bonding between metal particles and plastics.

Digital Biomarkers of Social Anxiety Severity: Digital Phenotyping Using Passive Smartphone Sensors (Preprint)
Authors: Jacobson Nicholas C , Summers Berta , Wilhelm Sabine
Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND

Social anxiety disorder is a highly prevalent and burdensome condition. Persons with social anxiety frequently avoid seeking physician support and rarely receive treatment. Social anxiety symptoms are frequently underreported and underrecognized, creating a barrier to the accurate assessment of these symptoms. Consequently, more research is needed to identify passive biomarkers of social anxiety symptom severity. Digital phenotyping, the use of passive sensor data to inform health care decisions, offers a possible method of addressing this assessment barrier.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to determine whether passive sensor data acquired from smartphone data can accurately predict social anxiety symptom severity using a publicly available dataset.

METHODS

In this study, participants (n=59) completed self-report assessments of their social anxiety symptom severity, depressive symptom severity, positive affect, and negative affect. Next, participants installed an app, which passively collected data about their movement (accelerometers) and social contact (incoming and outgoing calls and texts) over 2 weeks. Afterward, these passive sensor data were used to form digital biomarkers, which were paired with machine learning models to predict participants’ social anxiety symptom severity.

RESULTS

The results suggested that these passive sensor data could be utilized to accurately predict participants’ social anxiety symptom severity (r=0.702 between predicted and observed symptom severity) and demonstrated discriminant validity between depression, negative affect, and positive affect.

CONCLUSIONS

These results suggest that smartphone sensor data may be utilized to accurately detect social anxiety symptom severity and discriminate social anxiety symptom severity from depressive symptoms, negative affect, and positive affect.
The moderating role of coping styles in the relationship between resilience and distress: A mixed-methods study (Preprint)
Authors: Yangchen Tenzin
Published: May 2020

UNSTRUCTURED

Given the high incidence of mental disorders in populations exposed to traumatic events and ensuing detrimental consequences, it is apparent that a better understanding of the role of coping styles in resilience and distress is of paramount importance. The proposed mixed-methods exploratory study will present an empirical framework for the research by examining the relationship between resilience, coping styles (i.e., problem-focused, meaning-focused, and the two strategies of emotion-focused coping) and psychological distress. Further, this study aims to explore the moderating effects of different coping styles on the relationship between resilience and psychological distress. Seventy-five Tibetans currently residing in New York will be recruited for this study. An online battery of validated questionnaires comprising the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), Brief COPE, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) will be administered via Qualtrics survey software to assess distress, coping styles, and resilience, respectively. Additionally, qualitative interviews will be conducted to explore the participants’ understandings of distress and resilience as well as to gain a fuller understanding of their utilization of coping styles. Based on the theoretical conceptualization of stress and coping, it is hypothesized that people who score high on problem-focused, meaning-focused, and emotion-focused (emotional support-seeking) coping will report higher resilience and lower levels of psychological distress. The researcher also hypothesizes that participants who identify emotion-focused coping (escapism-avoidance) as their primary coping style will report lower resilience and higher concurrent psychological distress. Path analysis with a series of multiple regression analyses will be used to evaluate the plausibility of those theoretical hypotheses.
Factors Associated With Willingness to Share Health Information: Rapid Review (Preprint)
Authors: Naeem Iffat , Quan Hude , Singh Shaminder , Chowdhury Nashit , Chowdhury Mohammad , Saini Vineet , TC Turin
Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND

To expand research and strategies to prevent disease, comprehensive and real-time data are essential. Health data are increasingly available from platforms such as pharmaceuticals, genomics, health care imaging, medical procedures, wearable devices, and internet activity. Further, health data are integrated with an individual’s sociodemographic information, medical conditions, genetics, treatments, and health care. Ultimately, health information generation and flow are controlled by the patient or participant; however, there is a lack of understanding about the factors that influence willingness to share health information. A synthesis of the current literature on the multifactorial nature of health information sharing preferences is required to understand health information exchange.

OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this review are to identify peer-reviewed literature that reported factors associated with health information sharing and to organize factors into cohesive themes and present a narrative synthesis of factors related to willingness to share health information.

METHODS

This review uses a rapid review methodology to gather literature regarding willingness to share health information within the context of eHealth, which includes electronic health records, personal health records, mobile health information, general health information, or information on social determinants of health. MEDLINE and Google Scholar were searched using keywords such as electronic health records AND data sharing OR sharing preference OR willingness to share. The search was limited to any population that excluded health care workers or practitioners, and the participants aged ≥18 years within the US or Canadian context. The data abstraction process using thematic analysis where any factors associated with sharing health information were highlighted and coded inductively within each article. On the basis of shared meaning, the coded factors were collated into major themes.

RESULTS

A total of 26 research articles met our inclusion criteria and were included in the qualitative analysis. The inductive thematic coding process revealed multiple major themes related to sharing health information.

CONCLUSIONS

This review emphasized the importance of data generators’ viewpoints and the complex systems of factors that shape their decision to share health information. The themes explored in this study emphasize the importance of trust at multiple levels to develop effective information exchange partnerships. In the case of improving precision health care, addressing the factors presented here that influence willingness to share information can improve sharing capacity for individuals and allow researchers to reorient their methods to address hesitation in sharing health information.
Prediction of the Number of COVID-19 Confirmed Cases Based on K-Means-LSTM (Preprint)
Authors: Vadyala Shashank Reddy
Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND

COVID-19 is a pandemic disease that began to rapidly spread in the US with the first case detected on January 19, 2020, in Washington State. March 9, 2020, and then increased rapidly with total cases of 25,739 as of April 20, 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic is so unnerving that it is difficult to understand how any person is affected by the virus. Although most people with coronavirus 81%, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will have little to mild symptoms, others may rely on a ventilator to breathe or not at all. SEIR models have broad applicability in predicting the outcome of the population with a variety of diseases. However, many researchers use these models without validating the necessary hypotheses. Far too many researchers often "overfit" the data by using too many predictor variables and small sample sizes to create models. Models thus developed are unlikely to stand validity check on a separate group of population and regions. The researcher remains unaware that overfitting has occurred, without attempting such validation.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to forecast the COVID-19 case in Louisiana USA.

METHODS

In the paper, we present a combination algorithm that combines similar days features selection based on the region using Xgboost, K-Means, and long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks to construct a prediction model (i.e., K-Means-LSTM) for short-term COVID-19 cases forecasting in Louisana state USA. The weighted k-means algorithm based on extreme gradient boosting is used to evaluate the similarity between the forecasts and past days.

RESULTS

The results show that the method with K-Means-LSTM has a higher accuracy with an RMSE of 601.20 whereas the SEIR model with an RMSE of 3615.83.

CONCLUSIONS

Accurate COVID-19 case forecasting is a significant problem for public health authorities to efficiently and timely coordinate patient care and other services required to solve the epidemic.

UNSTRUCTURED

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an on-going global health issue with many mental health consequences including stress, anxiety, depression and suicides. These are known to be associated with cardiovascular diseases which may adversely affect patients’ outcomes. As the pandemic progresses, the incidence of mental disorders with high-risk of cardiovascular disease also increases and this can negatively impact disease control of COVID-19 infection. There is an urgent need to break this vicious cycle to reduce the burden of COVID-19 disease.

Published: May 2020

Background and objectives

Despite the presence of a universal health care system, it is unclear if there is intercenter variation in access to kidney transplantation in the United Kingdom. This study aims to assess whether equity exists in access to kidney transplantation in the United Kingdom after adjustment for patient-specific factors and center practice patterns.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

In this prospective, observational cohort study including all 71 United Kingdom kidney centers, incident RRT patients recruited between November 2011 and March 2013 as part of the Access to Transplantation and Transplant Outcome Measures study were analyzed to assess preemptive listing (n=2676) and listing within 2 years of starting dialysis (n=1970) by center.

Results

Seven hundred and six participants (26%) were listed preemptively, whereas 585 (30%) were listed within 2 years of commencing dialysis. The interquartile range across centers was 6%–33% for preemptive listing and 25%–40% for listing after starting dialysis. Patient factors, including increasing age, most comorbidities, body mass index >35 kg/m2, and lower socioeconomic status, were associated with a lower likelihood of being listed and accounted for 89% and 97% of measured intercenter variation for preemptive listing and listing within 2 years of starting dialysis, respectively. Asian (odds ratio, 0.49; 95% confidence interval, 0.33 to 0.72) and Black (odds ratio, 0.43; 95% confidence interval, 0.26 to 0.71) participants were both associated with reduced access to preemptive listing; however Asian participants were associated with a higher likelihood of being listed after starting dialysis (odds ratio, 1.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.12 to 1.79). As for center factors, being registered at a transplanting center (odds ratio, 3.1; 95% confidence interval, 2.36 to 4.07) and a universal approach to discussing transplantation (odds ratio, 1.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.08 to 1.78) were associated with higher preemptive listing, whereas using a written protocol was associated negatively with listing within 2 years of starting dialysis (odds ratio, 0.7; 95% confidence interval, 0.58 to 0.9).

Conclusions

Patient case mix accounts for most of the intercenter variation seen in access to transplantation in the United Kingdom, with practice patterns also contributing some variation. Socioeconomic inequity exists despite having a universal health care system.

Nowadays, it is hard for EFL students to learn a foreign language well because of the learning environment and limited teaching materials. Therefore, if we are willing to create a successful foreign language learning classroom, the use of multimedia will be very important. Besides, learning with multimedia has become the latest tendency among the education field. For instance, many researches and professionals all approve that various materials of multimedia learning can make the learning more productive, impressive, abundant, and memorable. In this research, multimedia materials were constructed by video clips. Furthermore, after adopting multimedia materials, some findings showed that multimedia-material teaching can strongly increase the vocabulary acquisition in a short period of time. In addition, students can learn not only by spelling and images, but also by vivid of video clips presentation and sounds to make connections to their daily life. Furthermore, through the interect program, their learning motivation is higher than the traditional teaching styles. Students get more positive learning attitude and their self-efficacy all been improved. Therefore, multimedia-material teaching can make learners learning more productive, abundant and efficient; therefore, using multimedia-material teaching will be one of the important teaching materials that can be applied in the classroom.

There are various ways to improve the quality of someone's education, one of them is reading. By reading, insight and knowledge of various kinds of things can increase. But, the ability and someone's understanding of reading is different. This can be a problem for readers if the reading material exceeds his comprehension ability. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the load of reading material using Lexile Levels. Lexile Levels are a value that gives a size the complexity of reading material and someone's reading ability. Thus, the reading material will be classified based a value on the Lexile Levels. Lexile Levels will cluster the reading material into 2 clusters which is easy, and difficult. The clustering process will use the k-means method. After the clustering process, reading material will be classified using the reading load Random Forest method. The k-means method was chosen because of the method has a simple computing process and fast also. Random Forest algorithm is a method that can build decision tree and it’s able to build several decision trees then choose the best tree. The results of this experiment indicate that the experiment scenario uses 2 cluster and SMOTE and GIFS preprocessing are carried out shows good results with an accuracy of 76.03%, precision of 81.85% and recall of 76.05%.

Published: May 2020

Este artigo aborda concepções que estão em constante mudança no indivíduo pós-moderno, visto como uma figura fragmentada que apresenta transformações contínuas em suas relações pessoais e também com objetos conectados, sob a perspectiva da Internet das Coisas. Nosso objetivo é investigar o perfil do jovem consumidor dessas inovações, as Gerações Y e Z. Para tanto, correlacionamos pós-modernismo às novas tecnologias e ao consumo, tendo fundamentação em: Bauman (1998, 2001 e 2007), Giddens (1991), Hall (2011), Harvey (2000), Lemos (2002 e 2013), Levy (2010) e Santaella (2013). O estudo é relevante ao refletirmos de que forma as modernas tecnologias de informação e comunicação irão reconfigurar ainda mais a sociedade, moldada sob um novo tempo proporcionado pela globalização e pela ubiquidade.
Narrar, viver: a legitimação do testemunho nas narrativas jornalística e literária
Authors: Paula Marcelo Ferraz de , Mendonça José Eduardo Umbelino
Published: May 2020

Este ensaio propõe uma reflexão sobre narrativa jornalística e testemunho a partir de seus processos de legitimação social. Para isso, retomamos algumas inferências sobre as aporias entre narrar e viver, baseadas, principalmente, nas ideias de Todorov (1969) e nas obras testemunhais de Levi (2004). Entendemos que quando parte da literatura recente propõe se afastar de sua posição legitimada de “inventora de histórias” para se tornar testemunha de “fatos reais”, ela constrói paralelos com a trajetória do jornalismo. Partindo do ponto oposto, o jornalismo atual parece flertar de modo cada vez mais engenhoso com os mecanismos, dispositivos e técnicas literárias dos inventores de histórias.
A crônica mundana e a circulação transnacional de modelos narrativos
Authors: Imada Heloísa , Levin Orna
Published: May 2020

Atentando para o vínculo estreito entre literatura e imprensa periódica durante as primeiras décadas do século XX, este artigo procura examinar a crônica mundana na perspectiva da circulação transnacional, sobretudo, no eixo França-Brasil. A análise se apoia em conceitos da história cultural, dando ênfase à história literária da imprensa. Considera que por se dedicar ao retrato da vida elegante nos centros urbanos, a crônica mundana ajudou a criar e legitimar um imaginário de modernidade nas cidades. O objetivo é investigar por meio desse gênero textual a construção literária do imaginário coletivo e observar a transferência de modelos de escrita no momento de expansão da cultura midiática. O trabalho realiza um exercício de análise comparativa entre dois periódicos – a revista francesa Femina e a Revista da Semana –, tendo em vista que ambas circularam no Rio de Janeiro na Belle Époque. As semelhanças e diferenças entre as crônicas das duas revistas indicam características do processo de adaptação e apropriação dos gêneros literários. Essa modalidade jornalístico-literária contribuiu para forjar referências compartilhadas de práticas modernas.

Esta investigación analiza los factores del entorno del estudiante como el estrato social, la edad y el número de horas dedicadas al trabajo que pueden influir en el resultado de las pruebas Saber Pro  del Instituto Colombiano para el Fomento de la Educación Superior [IFCES] en las competencias genéricas: Lectura Crítica, Comunicación Escrita y Razonamiento Cuantitativo en los estudiantes del programa de Administración de Empresas. La investigación es de tipo cuantitativo con diseño no experimental  longitudinal. Las principales técnicas estadísticas  de análisis utilizadas son: Medidas de tendencia central, varianza y regresión lineal. Los resultados indican que no hay una fuerte correlación entre el estrato, las horas dedicadas al trabajo, la edad y los resultados en las competencias genéricas anteriormente descritas. Sin embargo, la variable que  explica mejor la variabilidad de los resultados en las competencias genéricas  es la edad.

El cine; estrategia didáctica frente a las realidades del Catatumbo
Authors: Alba-Maldonado Jose Manuel , Duarte Andrea Marcela , Valdes-Solano Diana Milena
Published: May 2020

El siguiente artículo es resultado del espacio-investigativo “Cine Club Bari” en dónde se generaron reflexiones académicas en torno al posconflicto, su relación con el territorio y las sociedades rurales,  como desarrollo de la línea de investigación Gestión ambiental y su sublímela Sociedades rurales, Territorio y Posconflicto del grupo de investigación Gi@ds de la Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander Ocaña.  Está enmarcado en investigación cualitativa, con un enfoque crítico social y como método de análisis grupo focal,  en el campo de la pedagogía, empleando al cine como estrategia didáctica. Se proyectaron 9 películas durante el primer semestre del  2017 organizadas en tres ciclos: Guerra y sociedades rurales, Territorio botín en disputa y Postconflicto. Como resultados se encontró que los estudiantes debatieron alrededor de las siguientes categorías: Desplazamiento, fragmentación de grupos familiares, niñez, tejido social, ruralidad, recursos naturales, resiliencia y ejercicio de la política en contextos locales, paz y reconciliación.  A modo de conclusión el cine abrió espacios de dialogo de saberes y de construcción de conocimiento desde la colectividad en torno a las dinámicas del Catatumbo, lo que le generó en los estudiantes procesos de autorreflexión frente a su papel como profesionales en la sociedad y su región.
