Published: December 2023

Post-secondary programs in health are strengthened when curricula and experiences are internationalized. Internationalization encourages students to think, advocate and practice globally; thus, preparing graduates to contribute to health beyond geo-political borders. However, designing and supporting international experiences in undergraduate health curricula can be challenging due to time and resource constraints, costs, language barriers, and collaborative processes within and across organizations; thus, internationalization is not easily achieved. The purpose of this report is to describe an initiative aimed at supporting undergraduate nursing student experiences in an international partnership program between a Brazilian and Canadian university. First, we describe the project. Second, we present the context of the two partnering undergraduate nursing programs and their respective communities. Third, students from each school describe their experiences with the initiative. Fourth, we integrate our experiences with literature to offer three lessons for moving forward using a framework of resource allocation, fair trade learning, and decolonized competencies. Our report is timely as worldwide, universities are eager to build collaborative partnerships with stakeholders to implement internationalization within curricula. Such partnerships can help students learn about health-related experiences for populations living in distinctive social inequality and inequities in accessing health services.

Pilar de Goiás: de Arraial de Mineração a Cidade Histórica
Authors: Almeida Andrelina Ferreira Morgado , Oliveira-Silva Iransé
Published: December 2023

A mineração de ouro no Brasil tornou-se uma importante atividade econômica desde o período colonial, abrangendo áreas que vão do litoral ao sertão no rastro deste precioso metal dourado. Nessa busca, iniciada pelos europeus, foram envolvidos também africanos escravizados e nativos indígenas, aprisionados ao longo da invasão de seus territórios. Esta jornada foi marcante para a formação de várias cidades no interior do Brasil. O presente estudo objetiva analisar a influência da busca pelo ouro desde a formação do município de Pilar de Goiás até o seu tombamento como patrimônio histórico pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN), por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica exploratória descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa, em consulta a artigos publicados, dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutorado, com natureza teórica e objetiva-descritiva, enfocando desde o tempo do povoamento até a atualidade. Pilar de Goiás possui um importante histórico cultural atrelado à exploração do ouro, composto por seu relevante conjunto arquitetônico, construído no século XVIII. Os monumentos e espaços públicos desta cidade datam do período de 1741 a 1760. Ficou evidenciado que o município foi formado devido à intensa busca pelo ouro, cuja população cresceu e reduziu drasticamente, permanecendo a cidade ainda hoje sob a influência dessa atividade.

Epistemologías desde El Sur, Deconstrucción del Pensamiento Educativo Ambiental y Sostenibilidad Universitaria: Una Mirada desde el Pensamiento Crítico
Authors: Hernández José Humberto Lárez , Ulloa Marcos Parada , Pulido Cruz Meyber del Castillo , Freitez Milennys Andreina Escalona , Morales-Ojeda Ismael
Published: December 2023

El presente estudio discute las epistemologías sudamericanas, desde la perspectiva de la deconstrucción del pensamiento educativo ambiental y sostenibilidad. Destacando las figuras del pensamiento crítico, de la universidad como espacio académico, y la función ciudadana, que en su conjunto permiten establecer relaciones socioculturales y educativas dentro de la universidad y sostenidas por los principios de responsabilidad, prevención, eficiencia, gradualidad y participación. Los cuales deben verse reflejados en el diseño, ejecución y evaluación de las acciones que se desarrollen para la incorporación de la Universidad a la sostenibilidad. Requiriéndose para ello una secuencia metodológica que incluya: el diagnóstico, el análisis de la filosofía, el análisis estratégico y la construcción de líneas y objetivos estratégicos, y elaboración de un plan de acción. De manera que se pueda replantear el disfrute de una adecuada calidad de vida para la población a la vez que se construyen y establecen nuevas lógicas racionales en torno a lo ambiental.
La Modernización Agroindustrial y el Surgimiento de la Agroecología en México (1920-1960)
Authors: Argueta Quetzal , Toledo Víctor M.
Published: December 2023

Las parcelas mexicanas fueron un campo de disputa entre dos modelos agroproductivos en la primera mitad del siglo XX. Resultado de las presiones demográficas y los proyectos de desarrollo industrial y urbano que impulsaron los gobiernos emanados de la Revolución Mexicana, y posteriormente de los intereses económicos y geopolíticos del gobierno estadounidense y la Fundación Rockefeller, se buscó modernizar la agricultura tradicional mediante semillas mejoradas, agroquímicos y maquinaria agrícola entre otros elementos. Si bien en algunas regiones del país dichos componentes fueron rápidamente incorporados, en otras partes generaron reacciones de alerta y oposición por los riesgos y problemas sociales, económicos, ambientales e incluso geopolíticos que se creía podían generar. Y motivaron también el desarrollo de investigaciones para encontrar alternativas a los componentes mencionados. Proponemos que, en la medida que dichas manifestaciones cuestionaron la pertinencia de las tecnologías agroindustriales y buscaron alternativas desde una perspectiva ecológica, constituyen antecedentes fundamentales en la historia de la agroecología mexicana.

Building More Flexible Special Education Teachers: UDL Integration in a Dual-Licensure Program
Authors: Fogle Keri , Stark Jennifer
Published: December 2023

In this article, we describe how our general and special education faculty collaborated to infuse the Universal Design for Learning framework into our special education preparation program, a dual-licensure special education and elementary education (K-6) undergraduate degree program. We describe the curriculum reform processes and outcomes of the UDL curriculum enhancement project, along with specific examples from multiple courses. Additionally, we highlight the need to continuously evaluate such efforts so that areas for improvement can be identified and addressed. For instance, we realized that our teacher candidates still needed more support to transfer what they learned about UDL from their coursework to their planning and practice in student teaching. In sum, we did not just create a plan, implement it, and consider it completed. We recognized a gap in the original plan, made improvements, and re-assessed, just as we would expect our teacher candidates to do when evaluating their own practice.
A Scaffolded Model for Preparing Doctoral Students to Teach in Higher Education
Authors: Regan Kelley , King-Sears Margaret
Published: December 2023

Even though effective teaching is required when doctoral students assume positions in higher education, few doctoral programs have courses or formalized experiences designed around pedagogy for undergraduate and graduate students. The lack of pedagogical emphasis is especially concerning for newly minted doctoral students who will be preparing future special educators to teach students with disabilities in K-12 settings. In this article, the Continuum of Teaching Experiences (CTE) Model for preparing doctoral students to teach in higher education is described. This university teaching model depicts practice opportunities that promote pedagogical learning and prepare doctoral students for independent instruction of higher education courses. The CTE model scaffolds opportunities that provide doctoral students with varied entry points across a continuum of possibilities. Additionally, the CTE model is highly adaptable across multiple doctoral preparation programs, emphasizing a malleable framework that can be refined for variable programmatic needs.
Murder Most Fowl
Authors: Meberg Justine
Published: December 2023

This is the story of how I fell in love with teaching. It might have happened for many reasons—the mentoring, the fellowship, the special moments where learning happens—but in the end, it was the ducks. I was in the archives at the United States Military Academy, fitting in dissertation research between classes and meetings with cadets, when I found the letters. In the fall of 1841, five cadets nursing offenses to their honor wrote to Secretary of War John Spencer to protest the Superintendent’s alleged abuse of his authority in investigating the disappearance of several ducks. When Major Richard Delafield learned that cadets had stolen the birds from his property, he resolved to find the criminals. But when he began to ask questions, several cadets refused to answer, citing the potential for self-incrimination. This essay describes how I used the letters to engage students in ways that fostered personal connections to history. It concludes with an original one-shot role-playing game, populated with little-known historical figures and places, where readers play as ducks on a quest for vengeance.
All African People's Conference Game Reflection
Authors: Ava Moore  , Kamryn Reed
Published: December 2023

A reflection written by two high school juniors all about the All African People's Conference held in Accra, Ghana, 1958, through the lens of a roleplaying game of the representatives in the conference. We share our testimonies of our experienence while providing context on the actual event. Throughout the paper we give insight into our atypical experince of learning about a challneging concept through a game created by our teacher. We stress the importance of creative activities, allowing for people to retain critical information and not just memorizing the facts for a test. Our experience makes clear the benefits of learning and understanding history through games and the skills it allows students to not only devlop, but apply through the process as well.
Archival Research with High School Students and School History
Authors: Richards Samuel
Published: December 2023

Archives-based teaching and research remains rare in high schools. Research in this area also remains scarce. This article provides an overview of ways one interdisciplinary project-based learning (PBL) program used school history to introduce historians’ signature pedagogy of archival research to 13- and 14-year-old high school students. It provides an overview of the 9-week interdisciplinary unit from the perspective of the history teacher with the hopes of providing inspiration for others. The article includes consideration of school context, interdisciplinary collaboration, creating an accessible archive for students, and ways history labs were crucial to teaching historical thinking in an authentic way.
Fun and Different Course
Authors: Babits Chris
Published: December 2023

This article examines how one instructor employs the principles of gamification in an introductory U.S. history survey. Through the use of a "choose your own grading adventure," which includes 350 assessment choices, the instructor has created a course where students exercise their autonomy and demonstrate their competency over course content. The article argues that gamifying an introductory college-level survey has many advantages for students. Most notably, the course's grading adventure motivates students to complete work in one of the more difficult course modalities -- an asynchronous online learning environment -- as evidenced by the high proportion of students who earn an A each semester.
Measuring Critical Thinking in Reacting to the Past
Authors: Ludolph Patrick
Published: December 2023

Reacting to the Past is a popular pedagogy in the history classroom. Practitioners frequently contend that it supports students' critical thinking. This paper uses the Critical thinking Assessment Test (CAT) to measure students' critical thinking development as a result of playing two role-playing games. In addition, students completed two surveys to gather supplemental information. This study finds that Reacting does lead to improved critical thinking scores, but not evenly across subskills. This finding suggests that researchers should more clearly define critical thinking in order to evaluate Reacting's value as an intervention. The study also finds that student self-report is not a reliable means of measuring critical thinking gains and encourages further use of objective, validated assessment tools.

Authors: Bunyaratavej Sumanas , Jirawattanadon Pattriya , Sereeaphinan Chudapa , Wongdama Supisara , Sombatmaithai Sanchai , Leeyaphan Charussri
Published: December 2023

Objective: The use of mobile phones for teledermatology consultations is increasing. In this study, we aimed to describe photographic problems in teledermatology performed via mobile phones and their effects on diagnostic decision-making.
Materials and Methods: Three dermatologists independently reviewed the medical histories and photographs of patients taken by primary-care physicians for teledermatology between January 2018 and August 2020. The consensus of the dermatologists’ decision-making was categorized into “definite diagnoses given,” “probable diagnoses given,” and “unable to provide any diagnosis.” Relationships between photographic errors and dermatologist decision-making were investigated. Factors related to photographic problems were evaluated.
Results: In all, 899 images from 220 patients were reviewed. The most common purpose of teledermatology was to make a diagnosis. The most frequent diagnoses were eczema, infection, and autoimmune diseases. Consultants gave definite diagnoses for 63.2% of patients and probable diagnoses for another 29.5%. However, diagnoses were not made in 7.3% of cases. Defocusing and non-eczematous lesions were significantly associated with the inability to give diagnoses (P = 0.002 and 0.037, respectively). Pictures from peripheral areas showed higher frequencies of distortion errors, improper framing, wasted space, and improper background, while truncal regions tended to have lighting problems. The outpatient department setting was associated with a lack of overview and defocusing.
Conclusion: Focusing was the central factor for making diagnoses in teledermatology. Lighting should be more concerned in truncal regions. While using smartphone cameras, distortion should be aware. These factors should be considered to improve the effectiveness of teledermatology.

Authors: Nantawong Prampree , Tankumpuan Thitipong , Utriyaprasit Ketsarin , Owattanapanich Natthida
Published: December 2023

Objective: This study aimed to explore the factors related to pain catastrophizing (PC) in hospitalized patients with trauma within 72 hours of injury.
Materials and Methods: The study was a cross-sectional correlation study. The sample was 109 patients who were admitted to ICU Trauma or General Trauma Unit within 72 hours after injury and were aged 18 years and over. They were diagnosed with at least one or multiple organs of injury with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) between 13 and 15. Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient, spearman rank correlation, point-biserial correlation, and linear multiple regression were used to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that more than half of the sample was male (73.0%) with the age range from 18 to 91 years. During admission, the subjects complained about pain at moderate to severe levels (68.5%). The prevalence of PC was 11.9%. A few participants (2.8%) experienced anxiety. Also, more than half of them (63.3%) had ADLs in independent to absolutely independent levels. Almost 50.5% of the participants experienced poor sleep quality. Lastly, 50.5% of them were in frailty and pre-frailty conditions. There was a positive relationship between PC and anxiety (r = .439, p < .01). Finally, anxiety could explain the variance of PC by 19.3% (F1,107 = 25.571, P < .001).
Conclusion: Based on the study findings, the predictor of PC was anxiety. Thus, healthcare providers should assess this factor, in order to provide interventions to reduce high levels of anxiety leading to the prevention of PC occurrences in hospitalized trauma within 72 hours after injury.

Objective: We explored whether plasma α-syn be used as a potential biomarker for synucleinopathies.
Materials and Methods: α-syn levels in plasma from 54 Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) patents, 31 Alzheimer’s disease dementia (AD), and 29 controls were measured by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results: The mean age of the synucleinopathies group, the AD group, and the normal controls was 72.70, 74.26, and 62 years old. The median plasma α-syn levels in the synucleinopathies group, AD group and controls were 9.72 (4.41-25.30), 16.78 (7.68-51.41) and 16.65 (10.37-32.72) ng/ml, respectively (Independent-Samples Kruskal-Wallis test, p = 0.026). The α-syn levels in the synucleinopathies group were lower than those of AD and controls. There was a fair correlation between plasma α-syn levels and the sum of the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part 3 (spearman correlation coefficient r = -0.261, p = 0.021) but not with cognition measured by Thai Mental Status Examination (TMSE). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was 0.710 between the PDD and DLB vs non synucleinopathies group (AD and normal controls) (SE = 0.052, p ≤ 0.001). At the cut-off levels of 11.4 ng/ml indicated a sensitivity of 58% (95% CI 43.21-71.81%), specificity of 84.78% (95% CI 71.13-93.66%), positive predictive value (PPV) of 80.56%, a negative predictive value (NPV) of 65% and a precision of 70.83%.
Conclusion: The present results suggest that plasma α-syn could be a potential biomarker to differentiate synucleinopathies from Alzheimer’s disease and the elderly with normal cognition.

Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of 5% azelaic acid solution in comparison with 2% minoxidil solution in the treatment of FPHL.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-six FPHL patients with Ludwig grade I or II were randomly treated with 5% azelaic acid solution or 2% minoxidil solution twice daily for 6 months. At baseline, 2, 4, and 6 months, hair density and hair shaft diameter were assessed at the targeted fixed area. At 6 months, patient and investigator assessments of hair growth were performed using a 7-point scale.
Results: Hair density and hair shaft diameter in the patients treated with 5% azelaic acid and 2% minoxidil solution were significantly increased compared to the baseline in all cases and visits (P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in hair density and hair shaft diameter changes between both groups (P > 0.05). Both the investigator and patient assessments were comparable between both groups at 6 months. Pruritus was the major adverse effect reported in both groups, but only mild and all could be tolerated.
Conclusion: 5% Azelaic acid solution might be an effective treatment for FPHL, comparable with 2% minoxidil, and could be an alternative treatment for FPHL in minoxidil-allergic patients and pregnant women.
The Effect of Geographical Factors on Agricultural Activities in Altınekin District
Authors: TUNCER Tahir , TUNCER Bayram
Published: December 2023

Agriculture is still the most populous sector among the areas of economic activity in the world. Nearly 60% of the world's population can maintain their lives thanks to the agricultural economy. Agriculture is the most closely associated and compatible sector with nature among manufacturing activities. Agriculture, the first of economic activity, can be shaped by geographical factors. Human environmental factors are highly effective on agricultural activities as well as natural environmental factors. This study reveals the natural and human environmental factors that influence agricultural activities in the Altınekin district and examines the relationship between agricultural production and the future of these factors. Much of the data obtained in this study is based on field observations. In light of field observations and agricultural statistics, the ArcGIS10 program produced maps of the work area.
Altınekin district, which is unfavorable for climatic features and superficial water resources, is abundant in groundwater resources. With the rise of groundwater wells throughout the county, which have been dry agriculture in the past, there have been large increases in the cultivation and production of plants that require more water such as sugar beets, sunflowers, corn and carrots, and the agricultural structure of the region has completely changed. The lack of annual average rainfall and surface water resources in the county, the irrigation of much larger farmland by year, and the continued cultivation of excess water supply poses significant threats to the future of groundwater resources.
Prediction of Ear Weight, Kernel Weight and Viability in Maize Using Image Analysis
Authors: NESRİN Onurcan , KAHRIMAN Fatih
Published: December 2023

In maize breeding studies, it is becoming common to determine the ear and kernel characteristics by image analysis. While current methods focus on measurements that can be obtained directly by image analysis, it has not been adequately addressed whether different parameters such as weight and viability can be estimated using these measurements. This study aimed to determine whether it is possible to estimate the ear weight (g), kernel weight (g), single kernel weight (g) and viability (1/0) status of maize with the help of features (area, perimeter, width, length) extracted from images of the ear and kernel samples. In this study, 233 ear and 1242 grain samples belonging to 13 maize genotypes were used as material. Digital images of the ear samples were taken with a 5 MP camera and from the kernel samples with a desktop scanner. The ear weight reference data (DV1) and the kernel weight reference data (DV2) were obtained by weighing each sample on a precision balance. Single kernel reference data (DV3) was obtained with the measurements of single kernel weights. Kernel samples underwent paper germination test and reference data (DV4) related to viability was created. Regression models were developed by using the features obtained from image analysis (area, perimeter, width, height) for each reference data set as the predictor variable. As a result of the study, it was seen that the ear weight and kernel weight can be estimated with the help of the parameters extracted from the image analysis. While moderate success was achieved in the determination of single seed weight, it was difficult to determine the viability status based on the morphometric measurements of a single kernel in maize.
‘Am I saying it wrong?’ Progressivity-related troubles and instructional opportunities in child-robot L2 interaction
Authors: Jakonen Teppo , Veivo Outi , Mutta Maarit , Maijala Minna , Honkalammi Hilla-Marja , Johansson Marjut
Published: December 2023

Participants’ orientation to progressivity of action sequences is a fundamental feature of human social interaction, but less is known about how progressivity is maintained in human-robot interaction (HRI). We explore this by drawing on c. 14 hours of video recordings showing small groups of primary school children interacting with Nao, a programmable humanoid robot. Facilitated by a teacher, the children in our data are completing a short robot-assisted language learning lesson aimed at training English vocabulary and oral skills at a Swedish-speaking school in Finland. We investigate how the teacher and the pupils address emerging troubles in a word repetition sequence which the robot is programmed to carry out with one pupil at a time. Our analysis focuses on two kinds of troubles related to sequence closure: the robot’s so-called ‘third’ turns that either 1) do not ratify the pupil’s just-prior word repetition as ‘correct’ or 2) are (treated as) incongruent within the sequential context. We show how the human participants make sense of such conduct, recruit the teacher’s assistance to secure closure of the activity sequence, and orient to pronunciation instruction in situated ways. The results shed light on how children accommodate to, and are socialised into, human-robot interaction.

Çalışmaya, Türkiye Hentbol Federasyonu’nun 2021-2022 sezonu sonunda gerçekleştirdiği antrenörlük kursları ve gelişim seminerlerinde eğitim alan, aktif olarak antrenörlük yapan 42 kadın, 134 erkek olmak üzere toplam 176 hentbol antrenörü katılmıştır. Çalışmada veriler, Antrenör Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği (AÖYÖ), Çok Yönlü Liderlik Yönelimleri Ölçeği (ÇYLYÖ) ve kişisel bilgi formu kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizlerinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, bağımsız gruplar t-testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi, Mann-Whitney-U ve Kruskal Wallis-H analizleri kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, antrenörlerin AÖYÖ alt boyutlarından performans ve öğretim yeterliği boyutlarıyla cinsiyet değişkeni arasında; milli olma durumu değişkeni ile performans ve yönetim yeterliği boyutları arasında; derece elde etme durumu değişkeni ile yönetim yeterliği boyutu arasında anlamlı bir fark vardır. Antrenörlerin ÇYLYÖ alt boyutlarıyla ilgili sonuçlarına bakıldığında cinsiyet, yaş, antrenörlük kademesi, antrenörlük süresi ve milli olma durumu değişkenleri arasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı, politik liderlik alt boyutunda ise derece elde etme durumu değişkeni açsından anlamlı bir fark olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, hentbol antrenörlerinin yüksek öz yeterlik düzeylerine sahip olduğunu ve erkek antrenörlerin performans ve öğretim yeterlik düzeylerinin kadın antrenörlere göre daha yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir.

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii. This disease is asymptomatic, but it can elicite a problem in the immunocompromised patient and in the pregnant woman. This work was carried out to study the Reactive Oxygen Intermediates (ROIs) secretion activity of macrophages in mice stimulated with soluble protein of Toxoplasma during Toxoplasma gondii infection. In this study, 24 female Balb/c mice were used and devided into three groups. The first group was stimulated with 10 µg of soluble protein. The second group was stimulated with 10 µg of soluble protein with the addition of incomplete Freund’s adjuvant and the third group represented as control. The addition of incomplete Freund’s adjuvant to soluble protein was aimed to increase the immunogenicity of soluble protein. The stimulant was administered twice intraperitoneally with intervals of 2 weeks. Two days after the second stimulation, the mice were infected intraperitoneally with 4x102 tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii RH strain. On day 0, 3, 5 and 7 post infection, 2 mice from each group were sacrificed, the peritoneal macrophages were isolated and cultured to measure the ROIs secretion activity of macrophages in vitro. The Posttest Only Control Group Design was used as the experimental design. The data were analysed with One Way Anova. The result of this experiment showed that during Toxoplasma gondii infection, the ROIs secretion activity of macrophages in all groups of mice increased on day 5, and henceforth declined. The activity of macrophages from the first group and the second group were higher than that of the control group (the third group). The increment of ROIs secretion activity of macrophages in the second group was higher than that in the first group. It can be concluded that stimulation with soluble protein can increase the ROIs secretion activity of macrophages. The addition of incomplete Freund’s adjuvant to soluble protein increased the immunogenicity of soluble protein.
