La socialización como proceso ético en niños en edad escolar
Authors: Prado Solís Máximo
Published: October 2023

La educación es un proceso social que no empieza en la escuela sino en el seno del hogar y que fundamentalmente está al cuidado de la madre quien es u primera educadora. Prácticamente depende exclusivamente de la madre, hasta que el niño se desprenderá de su tutela desde aproximadamente a los 2 años. A partir de ese momento se puede decir que se inicia el proceso de socialización cuando el niño empieza a relacionarse con otros niños y adultos de su entorno inmediato, lo cual es una necesidad para potenciar sus capacidades físicas y mentales que serán determinantes para su futuro porque aprenderá a coexistir con otras personas y superar su egocentrismo. Sin embargo, hay niños que no tienen experiencias previas y pasan dificultades de adaptación en la escuela mostrando actitudes agresivas con sus compañeros, aislándose de los demás o comportándose huraños y llorando inconsolablemente reclamando la presencia de su madre o de un familiar cercano. Este problema ético e ideológico sobre todo entre los sectores más vulnerables de la sociedad ecuatoriana fue abordado por la investigación cuyos resultados son de validez tanto para la comunidad educativa escolar como un aporte que de seguro incrementó el bagaje académico-científico de la Universidad y la comunidad científica en general.

Advances in data and communication technology are growing rapidly. Especially in terms of data, data plays an important role in life. In this modern era, data is carried by a technology called the internet. In this case, the internet makes it easy to provide data about job vacancies, one of which is job vacancy websites. Without data it will be very difficult to get something you want, like getting a job. Profession is a matter that is very important for the survival of some people, therefore many people have difficulty getting data on a profession, but there are also people who have an industry who also have difficulty getting employees quickly and with the skills that match the required aspects. To overcome this problem, a website-based job vacancy application arrangement was created called a web search program, using the waterfall method, made using the PHP programming language and MySQL as the database. With this application, it is hoped that it will make it easier for applicants to find data on professional vacancies and make it easier for an industry that is looking for employees quickly and with the right skills.

Meditação ativa: uma proposta de ferramenta para manejo do estresse
Authors: Guerra Renata Fáro , Oliveira Jose Carlos Morais de , Danila Arthur Hirschfeld , Tavares Hermano
Published: October 2023

Meditação tem sido um tema muito estudado nos últimos anos. A prática regular de meditação produz inúmeros benefícios, como por exemplos, promoção de afetos positivos, redução de afetos negativos, melhora da imunidade e retardo do envelhecimento cerebral. Aumentos na espessura cortical em regiões específicas, especialmente as áreas do córtex pré-frontal tem sido a associados autorregularão socioemocional e melhor cognição. Desta forma, isto sugere que meditação aumenta a regulação pré-frontal na reatividade ao estresse e às emoções aversivas, colaborando com o crescente interesse clínico em meditação como adjuvante no tratamento cognitivo-comportamental de ansiedade, depressão, transtornos de personalidade. Adicionalmente, tem sido verificado sua aplicação em várias áreas da saúde como dependências com diminuição de fissura de uso de substâncias . Observou-se que a prática meditativa foi associada com melhora de desempenho de função executiva e tomada de decisão. Existem inúmeras técnicas diferentes para se chegar ao estado meditativo. A meditação ativa é composta de técnicas que combinam movimentos, expressão de sons e/ou técnicas de respiração, principalmente nos estágios iniciais, facilitando a entrada e manutenção do estado meditativo de forma espontânea e natural, sem a inquietação ou “bombardeio” de pensamentos, que comumente somos acometidos em nosso cotidiano. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever o protocolo de intervenção de meditação ativa, realizado no ambulatório do Programa de Mudança de Hábitos e Estilo de Vida do IPq-HCFMUSP. Este protocolo tem o objetivo de incrementar bem-estar e fornecer ferramentas para o manejo do estresse e, por consequência, aumentar a resiliência dos pacientes. São realizados 8 encontros semanais com grupos de pacientes, cada encontro com uma vivência teórica seguida da prática.

Published: October 2023

At the St. Louis College of Pharmacy a teaching group has been working on development of student metacognitive skills through using ‘Two Stage Cooperative Testing’ in the Physiology course sequence. A research group has been administering the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) and tracking students through the curriculum to see what relationship between MAI scores and success in the program might exist. In fall of 2017 the two groups found a natural point of connection and began comparing course grade information with MAI results. The result was demonstration of both a slight positive correlation between the MAI and overall semester GPA (r=0.313, p<0.001) and a slightly stronger correlation between the Knowledge of Cognition sub-score and course grades specifically in Medical Physiology (r=0.377, p<0.001). The relationship between the Regulation of Cognition sub-score and Medical Physiology course grades was also significant but less robust (r=0.273, p<0.001). Future collaboration will continue investigating how metacognition in students might be more systematically fostered.

A Workshop on Online Exams as a Supportive Response to Faculty’s Needs During a Pandemic
Authors: Horwitz Suzanne R. , English Mary
Published: October 2023

Along with many other institutions of higher education, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted Northeastern University to move courses online for the second half of the spring semester and beyond. As this crisis unfolded, faculty turned to the Center for Advancing Teaching and Learning Through Research (CATLR) for support on how to conduct their courses online—including effectively lecturing, facilitating discussions, and assessing student learning online. On the topic of learning assessment, CATLR developed, delivered, and iterated upon a workshop called, “Strategies for Effective Online Exams.” The workshop focused on strategies for balancing multiple needs, including rapid development, rigor, prevention of cheating, and equitable exam experiences for all students. While the shift to remote education was the impetus for educators to re-think exam administration, we hope some of these strategies will remain a part of educators’ practice, whether online or on ground.
Perseverance in Teacher Preparation and Certification Assessments During the COVID-19 Pandemic (or Not)
Authors: Grunzke Rebecca
Published: October 2023

Once lauded for its potential to increase the quality of novice educators entering the teaching profession by representing a performance-based assessment akin to professional licensure examinations in other fields, edTPA was discontinued by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC) as a required credential for professional educator certification in the state of Georgia after almost six years of implementation. The decision accompanied the removal of a second ethics assessment in the midst of school and testing center closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite administrative efforts to clarify accommodations for completing the portfolio-based assessment in online teaching environments. Time will tell if our institution’s temporary solution to replace edTPA will lead to the meaningful changes in teacher education envisioned by our college.

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Assessment and Curriculum Support Center successfully transformed a four-day, in-person Assessment Leadership Institute (ALI) into an online, four-day program designed to cultivate leaders who facilitate collaborative program learning assessment. We share eight successful strategies, including using the flipped classroom model, role-plays in facilitation simulations, facilitation role-play training prior to the Institute, clear online file structure, dedicated support person, assessment coaches, shared planning scripts, and regular communications. Our observations, participants’ self-reflections, and the ALI evaluation provide strong evidence for the effectiveness of the eight strategies, as well as the success of the inaugural online ALI at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.
Non-Academic Assessment in the Era of COVID-19: Utilizing Bolman and Deal’s Four Frames
Authors: Mullins Kadie Hayward
Published: October 2023

While this foundation of resources and support had been established before the pandemic, a non-academic assessment office directed additional efforts for the assessment process in response to the pandemic by leveraging Bolman and Deal’s (2013) four frames. This framework is used to lead organizations through change and growth and includes the human resource, symbolic, political, and structural frames. Each frame provides a different lens for how to approach leadership, either for entire systems or the processes within systems. This framework is especially useful in crisis response due to its comprehensive nature and holistic consideration of the complexity of organizational systems (Goswick, 2016).

Nurturing Relationships Grounded in Assessment
Authors: Abreau Maria B. Serrano
Published: October 2023

I have been working as an Assessment Officer in a private university in Puerto Rico, for about two years now. It took a year to learn the job—what was assessment for, what was my function, how broad was the scope of my job, what influence did I have over institutional changes? Just as I thought I knew the job, the context changed, especially the shift to online modality, wrought by COVID-19. These circumstances have pushed me to review and reflect in every assessment aspect already learned and stated by the university’s assessment office. Driven by this need for reflection, I came forward to virtual communities of educators (AALHE online conference, CLACSO virtual conferences and #abolitionistteaching on Instagram) who also had the purpose of reflecting over the educational process where assessment was not the exception. These communities have questioned, shared, and reimagined the educational process accordingly to what can be effective, given their experiences. I will share my reflections based on the learnings acquire from these virtual communities: there is a need to foster a change from a compliance paradigm to a culture of assessment that builds healthy relationships.
Connecting Assessment with Teaching through Faculty Capacity Building: An Example of an Oral Communication Assessment Project
Authors: Hill Yao , Stitt-Bergh Monica
Published: October 2023

Connecting assessment with teaching through faculty capacity building can be a design principle in any assessment project aimed at improving student learning. This design principle is supported by the evaluation capacity-building literature, backward design curriculum approach, research on learning, and inquiry-driven assessment-for-learning framework. This paper provides an example of how this design principle guided the implementation of an institutional oral communication assessment project at a large public research-intensive university throughout an assessment cycle, from developing learning outcomes to using assessment results. Steered by five operating principles (be transparent, provide teaching support, foster shared understanding, form collaborations and value faculty expertise, and offer technical support), our center and campus groups carried out major strategies such as building and restructuring a project website, providing pedagogy workshops and panels for faculty, compiling and publicizing teaching and assessment resources, organizing faculty study groups on assessment, and collaborating with and motivating stakeholders and faculty to use assessment results. We advocate that connecting assessment with teaching should be intentional in the design and implementation of an assessment project to maximize the meaning and usefulness of assessment, ideally, through capacity-building activities.
Integrated Planning: The “Difference that Makes a Difference” in Institutional Effectiveness Over Time
Authors: Hoshaw Justin , Isaacson Erin M. , Grabau Ashli , Wilkinson Robert , Di Genova Lina , Schramm-Possinger Megan , Santilli Nicholas R. , Daugherty Kimberly K. , Ben-Avie Michael
Published: October 2023

Higher education is at a crossroads. Institutions need to be increasingly adaptable to unexpected stressors while building more robust systems for assessing their students’ longitudinal, multifaceted development within the context of mission-driven operations. Integrated planning is a collaborative process that meets these goals through the intentional coordination, within and among units, to engage in long-term planning while nimbly responding to changes that warrant procedural alterations so that institutions can meet their strategic goals. In this paper, we demonstrate how the architecture of institutional effectiveness (IE) is inextricably linked to the quality of its integrated planning (IP), with student learning and developmental outcomes at its nexus.
Ethical Reasoning and the Five Roles of the Assessment Practitioner
Authors: Robinson Christine , Hawk William J. , Horst S. Jeanne , Prendergast Caroline O.
Published: October 2023

Responsibilities of an assessment practitioner are many and diverse (Jankowski & Slotnick, 2015). As with any profession, the responsibilities are not devoid of moral situations in which practitioners must choose between two or more possibilities (i.e., moral or ethical dilemmas). We present an ethical dilemma concerning student equity and assessment reporting and demonstrate that based upon which of the five roles a practitioner takes, s/he must take multiple perspectives and consider decision-making impacts. Assessment practitioners support various persons with differing needs and expectations; this may mean that assessment professionals encounter situations that require ethical reasoning. The Eight Key Questions (8KQ) strategy provides a framework for the practitioner in the form of questions that should be investigated. The process is designed to elicit diverse perspectives on an issue without a pre-determined answer, making sure that important ethical considerations are included in the decision-making process.
Promising Failure: Driving Innovation by Exposing Imperfection
Authors: Tucker Constance , Stanny Claudia J.
Published: October 2023

This article emerges as part of the Grand Challenges in Assessment Project and describes two approaches to driving innovation in assessment. Each approach can be used to drive innovation, promising failure, and equity in assessment, teaching, and learning. The first approach, the TRIZ exercise, focuses on an approach to drive innovation at a planning level. The second approach examines how to stimulate innovation through recognition of braver and safer spaces. The article concludes by reflecting on the implications of these approaches in the context of social justice and a pandemic.

A Case Study Integrating Edutainment to Enhance Student Engagement and Satisfaction in an Online Graduate Psychology Course
Authors: Kelling Nicholas , Kelling Angela
Published: October 2023

The coronavirus pandemic created a challenge to meet course goals despite shifting to online instruction. Recent technological advances and research in pedagogy suggested techniques to enhance student engagement and learning during the pandemic. The main goal was to determine if designing online lectures through the use of advanced technology and humor impacted engagement, satisfaction, and performance. Lecture videos were designed to be highly engaging and entertaining utilizing lightboard technology, overlaid Powerpoints, and an animatronic bear. Reported watching behavior was more focused because of higher engagement, but did not translate to better course performance. While students appreciated the videos and enjoyed the humorous additions, there was not a clear advantage over a more traditional online teaching style. Considering the lack of relation to student performance, this format of videos does not seem worth the effort of creating them especially when coupled with the limited resources available for most faculty.

The Adaline method is a learning algorithm that iteratively adapts network weights to minimize prediction errors. In the early stages, researchers collect relevant stock price historical data and process it into a training dataset. Next, build an artificial neural network with one input layer, one output layer, and use a linear activation function. The network weights are initialized randomly, and the training process begins. In network training, the researcher applies the Adaline algorithm with the descending gradient method to optimize the objective function. The researcher updates the network weights based on the difference between the actual stock price and the stock price predicted by the network. This process is repeated iteratively until it converges or reaches the specified stopping criteria. After the training is complete, the researcher evaluates the network performance using validation data that was not used in the training. Researchers used evaluation metrics, such as the mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE), to measure the accuracy of network predictions. In addition, researchers also compared the performance of the Adaline network with other prediction methods, such as linear regression.
        The experimental results show that the artificial neural network with the Adaline method is able to provide accurate stock price predictions. Researchers observed a significant reduction in prediction error compared to the linear regression method. In addition, the Adaline network also shows good adaptability to changes in market trends. This research makes an important contribution to the development of stock price prediction methods using artificial neural networks. The results can be used as a guide for investors and stock traders to make more informed and effective investment decisions.

Registration of Interfaith Marriages from Maqashid Al-Syari'ah Perspective
Authors: M. Iqbal Alvin , Sodiq Imron
Published: October 2023

Interfaith marriage today has become a social reality that cannot be avoided. Around the end of June 2022, there was a phenomenon of the acceptance of interfaith marriages by the Surabaya District Court. It suddenly made the clergy furious. Institutions like the MUI even asked the related court to cancel the decision. Apart from that, this paper wants to look at the problem of registering interfaith marriages from the perspective of Maqashid Al-Shari'ah. After conducting a study through the lens of Maqashid Al-shari'ah, the registration of interfaith marriages in the end, according to the author's conclusion, is maslahat juziyat hajiyat, which has been upgraded to maslahat juziyat daruriyat. Therefore, registering interfaith marriages is an important matter that the State must regulate and legalize.
The cost-effectiveness and value of C-reactive protein in the diagnosis and management of neonatal late-onset sepsis in resource-limited settings
Authors: Chandramati J , Ponthenkandath S
Published: October 2023

Background. Although C-reactive protein (CRP) is used as a biomarker, its value in resource-limited settings for diagnosis andmanagement of late-onset sepsis in neonates has not been reported previously.Objective. To evaluate the value of CRP as a biomarker in identifying late-onset sepsis in symptomatic infants.Method. We performed a retrospective study to evaluate the value of CRP as a biomarker in identifying late-onset sepsis in symptomatic infants. Infants were classified into three groups (blood culture-proven sepsis (n=72), clinical sepsis (n=38) and no sepsis (n=114)). Infants underwent sepsis work-up consisting of complete blood count (CBC), blood culture, urine and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture including CRP measurements.Results. The overall sensitivity and specificity of CRP levels >10 μg/mL was 94.5% and 91.2%, respectively, for the diagnosis of late-onset sepsis. Positive predictive value was 91.2% and negative predictive value was 92.8%. Total white blood cell (WBC) counts had poorsensitivity and specificity compared with CRP. The cost for CRP testing was only 2.5% of the total cost for sepsis work-up in neonates.Conclusion. Our study indicates that CRP has excellent sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of late-onset sepsis. In low- and middle-income countries, CRP testing perhaps offers more value compared with W14BC counts
Late-neonatal SARS-CoV-2 infection: A curious case of COVID‑19 with respiratory co-infection and treatment with surfactant
Authors: Verster E , L-A  , Chetty K , Van Wyk L
Published: October 2023

At the height of the COVID‑19 pandemic, South Africa became the epicentre of the continent. Considering the paucity of data onCOVID‑19, we aimed to describe the clinical picture in a neonate, alert healthcare workers to the presence of co-infection with COVID‑19 and propose alternative treatment modalities. The use of surfactant was based on the pathophysiological mechanisms of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). There is mounting evidence in support of using surfactant in the management of severe COVID‑19. While viral co-infection is a common occurrence among neonates, our case shows that COVID‑19, together with rhinovirus infection, may result in a more rapid clinical deterioration, as opposed to rhinovirus infection in isolation.
The role of β-2-microglobulin and cystatin C as urinary biomarkers of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in the setting of paediatric HIV infection

Published: October 2023

Background. Africa has the highest rate of HIV infection, and HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) is one of the most frequent kidneydiseases observed in children. HIVAN in children usually presents as a form of nephrotic syndrome, predominantly focal segmentalglomerulosclerosis (FSGS) on histopathology, that often leads to chronic kidney failure.Objective. This study determined the urinary concentrations of β-2-microglobulin (β2M) and cystatin C proteins in children with HIVANand primary FSGS.Methods. The study group comprised 34 children; 14 with HIVAN and 20 with primary FSGS. The control groups were 20 HIV-positiveand 20 HIV-negative children with no kidney disease. Urine samples collected from these 74 children were stored at -80°C. Bio-Plextechnology was used to analyse the urinary protein concentration of cystatin C and β2M.Results. A significant increase in urinary β2M levels was observed in the HIVAN group compared with the HIV-negative group(p=0.0240). No other statistically significant differences in urinary β2M concentrations were noted across the study groups. Urinarycystatin C levels were significantly increased in primary FSGS children compared with both HIV-negative (p=0.0041) and HIV-positivecontrols (p=0.0256). Urinary cystatin C displayed a significant increase in the primary FSGS compared with the HIVAN group (p=0.0150).No significant differences in urinary cystatin C levels were noted in the HIVAN group compared with the HIV-negative and HIV-positivecontrol groups.Conclusion. Urinary cystatin C has promising prognostic value to predict primary FSGS from HIVAN.
Accidental poison exposure among children in a regional hospital in northern KwaZulu-Natal before and during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Vosloo R , Naidoo U
Published: October 2023

Background. Poisoning has been reported as the fifth most common cause of injury-related deaths in children younger than five years worldwide. Little is known about accidental poison exposure among children at regional hospital level. Regional hospitals generally provide more specialised support to primary care facilities over a larger area. During the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdown measures may have increased home-based unintentional poisoning.
Objectives. To determine the frequency, outcome and type of accidental poison exposure in children admitted to a regional hospital and compare cases before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods. A review of admissions to Queen Nandi Regional Hospital in Empangeni was performed to document cases of accidental poison exposure over two years. Equal periods during 2019 and 2020 (April to December) were then compared. Children <13 years of age were included. Age, sex, date of admission, death or survival and type of poisoning were collected.
Results. Cases of accidental poison exposure made up a small proportion of the total admissions over two years (n=252/5 071, 4.97%) with a low case fatality rate (0.40%). Boys made up the majority (n=132/252, 52.38%). Most were <five years old (n=220/252, 87.30%). Medicines (n=114/252, 45.24%), hydrocarbons (n=59/252, 23.41%) and pesticides (n=26/252, 10.32%) were the main types of poison. Domestic cleaner-, sanitiser- and disinfectant-related admissions were significantly increased during the pandemic (p=0.020).
Conclusion. Accidental poison exposure occurs commonly in younger children. Medicines, hydrocarbons and pesticides made up the majority of cases. Domestic cleaner, hand sanitiser and disinfectant ingestion increased in the pandemic. Future research should involve primary care facilities, and risk factors as well as clinical severity should be investigated.
