Published: January 2023

El objetivo de esta revisión fue identificar aquellos estudios que mejor explican la medición y evaluación de las capacidades de innovación tecnológica a través de un análisis de la literatura especializada. Para ello, se recopiló una muestra final de 125 artículos empírico-causales de Scopus y WOS y se realizaron las cuatro etapas de la metodología PRISMA (identificación, cribado, elegibilidad e inclusión). Los resultados señalan cuatro vertientes que demarcan las tendencias de investigación en temáticas básicas, en declive, de nicho y tractoras. Se evidenció que, para el desarrollo del conocimiento, los trabajos que se acuñan en (1) modelación y (2) simulación como una estrategia metodológica para la medición, evaluación y comprensión de cómo se acumulan las CIT, y cuál es su efecto en el desempeño de las organizaciones, son tendencias tractoras que aportan a las teorías de la visión basada en los recursos, las capacidades y las competencias de la firma. Las temáticas encontradas demostraron una implicación práctica para los tomadores de decisiones. Finalmente, se concluye que la medición, evaluación y acumulación de las CIT es un instrumento de diagnóstico que ayuda en la orientación y construcción de política, entendiendo que la evaluación implica, además de un diagnóstico valorativo y comparativo, la toma de decisiones estratégicas que conlleva a una mejor comprensión del proceso de transición de las CIT que permita alcanzar desempeños esperados.
The Forward Testing Effect in Spatial Route Learning in Patients with Schizophrenia
Authors: Xiaofeng Ma , Yaoyao Tan , Tiantian Li , Minghui Liu , Jing Zhang
Published: January 2023

It is not known whether patients with schizophrenia can improve their
ability to learn new information through tests. We conducted two
experiments—to explore the forward testing effects in schizophrenic
patients in learning a new route—with 124 schizophrenic patients and a
control group of 124 randomly selected healthy. All participants were
tasked with learning a two-dimensional planar route map consisting of
four lists (Experiment 1) and three-dimensional video spatial route
information (Experiment 2). Results from Experiment 1 demonstrated that
in a two-dimensional planar route map, both schizophrenic and healthy
participants recalled the spatial route information under the test
condition versus the repetitive learning condition. In Experiment 2, we
used three-dimensional video spatial route information and obtained the
same results found in Experiment 1. This study suggests that by using
preposed tests, patients with schizophrenia could suppress proactive
interference and gain general benefits, including forward-backward
effects of retrieval practice. Therefore, tests may be a powerful tool
for improving learning and memory in patients with schizophrenia.
Incidence of hypoglycemia with glimepiride/metformin fixed-dose combination in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on metformin monotherapy in Peru: a prospective, active pharmacovigilance cohort study Short running title: Hypoglycemia with glimepiride plus metformin in Peru
Authors: Pinto-Valdivia Miguel , Loyola Lourdes , Jara Jorge , Damas-Casani Lucy , Guillén Miguel , Medina Cecilia A.
Published: January 2023

Purpose — To evaluate hypoglycemia incidence rate during treatment
with a fixed-dose combination of glimepiride and metformin in patients
non-responders to metformin monotherapy. Data were collected during
customary specialized practice in Peru where access to effective and
safe, but low-cost medications, is needed. Methods— This was an
observational, prospective, active pharmacovigilance, cohort study with
in-person medical assessments. Medical assessments were conducted every
3-months, with monthly follow-up through phone calls. Data regarding use
and administration of treatment were recorded by patients. Adverse
events (AE) reported by patients and/or ascertained by attending
physicians during the period of 18 months along with treatment-related
events were identified. Cumulative incidence and hypoglycemia incidence
rate were estimated. Poisson and logistic regression models were applied
to study their relationship with risk factors and patterns of use.
Results— 206 patients were enrolled in the study from 10 centers and
were followed for a median duration of 12 months (range, 2-18 months).
Forty treatment-related AEs were reported (cumulative incidence =
19.4%). No severe hypoglycemic events were observed. Most common AE
found was non-severe hypoglycemia (cumulative incidence = 2.4%;
incidence rate = 2.6/100 person/years). Self-administration of a higher
dose than prescribed was associated with a higher probability of an AE
(p=0.03). Conclusions— Administration of a fixed-dose combination of
glimepiride plus metformin was associated with low incidence of
non-severe hypoglycemia, and no incidence of severe hypoglycemia. These
results advocate the use of fixed-dose combination of glimepiride plus
metformin in low- and middle-income countries with limited resources,
even more so in wake of COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: January 2023

Aerial robots can autonomously collect temporal and spatial
high-resolution environmental data. This data can then be utilized to
develop mathematical ecology models to understand the impact of climate
change on our habitat. In case of the drone’s malfunction the
incorporated materials can threaten vulnerable environments. The recent
introduction of transient robotics has enabled the development of
biodegradable, environmental sensing drones capable of degrading in
their environment. However, manufacturing methods for environmental
sensing transient drones are rarely discussed. In this work, we
highlight a manufacturing framework and material selection process
featuring biopolymer-based, high-strength composite cryogels and printed
carbon-based electronics for transient drones. We found that gelatin and
cellulose based cryogels mechanically outperform other biopolymer
composites while having a homogeneous micro-structure and high
stiffness-to-weight ratio. The selected materials are used to
manufacture a flying-wing air-frame, while the incorporated sensing skin
is capable of measuring the elevons’ deflection angles as well as
ambient temperature. Our results demonstrate how gelatin-cellulose
cryogels can be used to manufacture lightweight transient drones while
printing carbon conductive electronics is a viable method for designing
sustainable, integrated sensors. The proposed methods can be used to
guide the development of lightweight and rapidly degrading robots,
featuring eco-friendly sensing capabilities.

Published: January 2023

Background: To explore the long-term safety and dynamics of the
immune response induced by the second and third doses of the BNT162b2
mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in adolescents with juvenile-onset autoimmune
inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD) compared with healthy controls.
Methods: This international prospective study included
adolescents with AIIRD and controls vaccinated with two (AIIRD n=124;
controls n=80) or three (AIIRD n=64; controls n=30) doses of the
BNT162b2 vaccine, evaluated for vaccine side-effects, disease activity,
COVID-19 breakthrough infection rates and severity, and anti-spike S1/S2
IgG antibody titres in a sample from both groups. Results: The
vaccination safety profile was favourable, with most patients reporting
mild or no side-effects. The rheumatic disease remained stable among
98% and 100% after the second and third doses, respectively. The
two-dose vaccine induced comparable seropositivity rates among patients
(91%) and controls (100%), (p=0.55), which declined within 6 months to
87% and 100%, respectively (p=0.3), and increased to 100% in both
groups, after the third vaccine dose. The overall post-vaccination
COVID-19 infection rate was comparable between patients and controls,
47.6% (n=59) and 35% (n=28), respectively; p=0.5278, with most
infections occurring during the Omicron surge. In relation to the last
vaccination, time-to-COVID-19 infection was similar between patients and
controls, at a median of 5.5 vs. 5.2 months, respectively (log-rank
p=0.1555). Conclusion: The safety profile of three doses of the
BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine was excellent, with an adequate humoral response
and similar efficacy among patients and controls. These results support
the recommendation for vaccinating adolescents with juvenile-onset AIIRD
against COVID-19.

the domain Health Perceptions (70%). Conclusions: eHealth
CF-CBT demonstrated feasibility, usability, acceptability and promising
preliminary efficacy in this pilot trial with Dutch awCF with mild to
moderate symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Antitachycardia Pacing at the His Bundle is Safer than Conventional Right Ventricular Antitachycardia Pacing in a Canine Myocardial Ischemic Injury Model
Authors: M Annie Hirahara , S Muhammad Khan , Gharbia Omar , Lange Matthias , Ishidoya Yuki , Smego Douglas , Ranjan Ravi , J Gregory Stoddard , Selzman Craig , Dosdall Derek
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Antitachycardia pacing (ATP) is used to terminate
ventricular tachycardia (VT) by delivering rapid, low energy pacing to
the right ventricle (RV). Unfortunately, ATP is not effective against
all VT episodes and can result in adverse outcomes, such as VT
acceleration and degeneration into ventricular fibrillation (VF).
Improving ATP is therefore desirable. Our objective was to compare the
efficacy and safety of ATP delivered at the His bundle to traditional
ATP. Methods: Six dogs were anesthetized and pacing leads were implanted
in the RV and His bundle. The lateral anterior descending artery (LAD)
was occluded for 2 hours to create an ischemic injury. In a study 4-7
days later, a 128-electrode sock was placed snugly around the ventricles
and VT was induced using rapid pacing. ATP was delivered from either the
His bundle or RV lead, then attempted at the other location if
unsuccessful. Success rates and instances of VT acceleration and
degeneration into VF were calculated. Results: We induced 83 runs of VT
and attempted ATP 128 times. RV ATP was successful in 36% of attempts;
His ATP was successful in 38% of attempts. RV ATP resulted in
significantly more adverse outcomes. RV and His ATP induced VT
acceleration in 9% and 3% of trains respectively, and induced
degeneration into VF in 5% and 1% of trains, respectively. Conclusion:
His bundle ATP is safer, but not significantly more effective, than RV
ATP.
CRISPR-Cas9 Guided RNA Based Model for the Silencing of Spinal Bulbar Muscular Atrophy: A Functional Genetic Disorder
Authors: Naveed Muhammad , Tabassum Natasha , Shabbir Muhammad Aqib , Iftikhar Muhammad Junaid
Published: January 2023

Spinal bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a neurodegenerative genetic
disorder, which results because of a mutation in the start codon of the
Androgen Receptor (AR) gene. The mutant Androgen Receptor gene features
the polyglutamine expansion (CAG) repeats, undergoing inappropriate
post-translational modifications, which leads to development of toxin
production functionality. In order to inhibit the production of mutant
AR gene, CRISPR-Cas9 based model to cure the trinucleotide repeat
disorder is proposed in this research. CRISPR cas9 constructed guided
RNAs are expected to showed max treatment accuracy an effective
silencing method in the functional genetic disorder of SBMA. It
demonstrates the on-target and off-target scores that hold GC content
within 40 - 60%. Further validation comes from the minimum free energy
that is correlated with the gRNA’s structural accuracy. Although,
currently, there is no effective and complete cure of SBMA is available
except symptomatic treatments, CRISPR-Cas9 provides a better approach to
target this disease at the molecular level, which gives a hope to
develop an effective treatment against this currently non-curable
disease. Possible results are constructed using in-silico and
computational therapeutic approach for SBMA. The CRISPR-Cas9 protein
shows promising results in an artificial environment. Thus, this study
presents for the first time a specific possible future candidate in the
treatment of SBMA that holds potential as a therapeutic approach for a
genetic disorder. Imbued by the CRISPR mechanism and the suitability of
gRNA, this strategy can be utilized as a novel therapeutic approach.

Published: January 2023

Abstract:Importance: There are conflicting data
regarding the safety of the use of Angiotensin-converting enzyme
inhibitors or Angiotensin receptor blockers (ACEI/ARBs ) medications in
hypertensive patients who are susceptible to COVID-19.
Objective: Our study assesses the association between COVID-19
severity and mortality and the use of ACEI/ARBs among hospitalized
patients with hypertension. Research design, setting and
participants: This was a retrospective cohort study. Using the EPIC
system of Beaumont Health, we identified 5490 patients with COVID-19 who
were admitted to the eight Beaumont hospitals. After excluding subjects
who have no hypertension and those with missing data, we included 2129
COVID-19 patients who have hypertension. Logistic regression and Cox
proportional hazard models were used to analyze the association history
of ACEI/ARBs use, ICU admission rate and COVID-19 mortality.
Exposure: Using of ACEI/ARBs as documented in the medical
records before admission to the hospitals. Main outcome: 30
days COVID-19 mortality and ICU admission rates .
Results: There were 1281 subjects (60%) with prior ACEI/ARBs
use and 848 subjects ( 40%) with no ACEI/ARBs use. There was no
significant association between ICU admission and use of ACEI/ARBs (odds
ratio was 0.95, 95% CI [0.76, 1.19] and p-value was 0.6). Although
the unadjusted logistic regression model demonstrated a statistically
significant association between history of use of ACEI/ARBs and COVID-19
mortality (odds ratio= 1.31, 95% CI [1.05, 1.66], p-value= 0.02),
the adjusted logistic regression model failed to show this statistically
significant association (odds ratio= 1.20, 95% CI [0.93, 1.54],
p-value= 0.14). Moreover, we were not able to reveal a statistically
significant association between 30 days COVID-19 survival and prior use
of ACEI/ARBs in the adjusted Cox-proportional hazard model (Hazard ratio
(HR) = 1.11, 95% CI [0.91, 1.40], p-value =0.14).
Conclusion: In a large retrospective study, we conclude that
there was no statistically significant association between prior history
of ACEI/ARBs use and COVID-19 ICU admission rates or mortality in
hypertensive patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

Developing a Transdisciplinary Team Using Online Data Science Training and a Real-World Case Study on the Pandemic, COVID-19
Authors: Hooper Sarah , Habacker Heather , Frazier Dean
Published: January 2023

Using a real-world, team-led, virtual case study focused on the international pandemic, SARS-CoV-2, more commonly referred to as COVID-19, we assessed if data science could serve as the common discipline for the development of a professional transdisciplinary team.  Team success was measured by assessing if all members contributed to the virtual, student-led case study, which occurred, and if the product of the collaboration transcended the discipline, which occurred when the team created this report due to the success of the online data science program preventing the commonly encountered difficulties such as communication among team members and cognitive obstacles of experts being unable to relate to others outside their expertise.  We suggest that future pandemic response training programs consider incorporating data science as a fundamental discipline when developing pandemic response teams.
Analysis of 3D multi-storey building numerical models including floor slabs and shear walls depending on the connection type in the steel structure
Authors: Cilic Aleksandra , Djuric-Mijovic Danijela , Milosevic Vuk
Published: January 2023

Multi-storey steel buildings are usually designed with rigid connections
between beams and columns or with simple hinged connections and a stiffening
system. The paper focuses on the 3D structural design of multi-storey steel
buildings including floor slabs and shear walls. The method of numerical
modelling has been applied to investigate the influence of rigid connections
between certain structural elements on the lateral stiffness of the
multi-storey building structure, when floor slabs and shear walls are
considered in the structural design. Four building heights and six
structural system types, having the same floor plan have been examined. 3D
numerical models have been configured in FEM software to evaluate the
lateral stiffness of the structures exposed to gravity and seismic loads.
The maximum horizontal deflections and natural periods of vibrations are
presented in the paper. It has been concluded that the connection type in
the multi-storey steel structure has no significant influence on the lateral
stiffness of the structure when structural design considers floor slabs and
shear walls.

Authors: Stanimirovic Mirko , Vasov Miomir , Momcilovic-Petronijevic Ana , Krstic Hristina
Published: January 2023

Within the topic of architectural design of a contemporary Serbian Orthodox temple, student competitions have been held for a few years at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture in Nis. The research of the current phenomenon of the contemporary Serbian temple through the innovation of competition practice directly advances the architectural science. The main goal of the work is to improve the institution of the competition through pre-defined evaluation criteria, which belong to the fields of architectural design, history and theory of architecture, but also to the teachings of the Serbian Orthodox Church. This paper documents the student competition for the memorial temple on Delijski Vis in Nis. In accordance with the design principles, the students' works and the results of their evaluations were analyzed. In the first part of the paper, the points awarded by the expert jury were presented. In the second part, the works are analyzed according to design principles. In the third part, in the synthesis of the research, the results of the first and second part of the research were compared by a comparative analysis. In the discussion, based on the discrepancy between the results of the first and second groups, it was concluded that it is necessary to define in advance the categories that the jury would evaluate in the evaluation phase. Candidates should receive the evaluation framework in the competition announcement. Since the members of the jury are not only architects, it is necessary to provide for areas from several disciplines, so that the candidate's answer is more comprehensive. In the conclusion of the work, specific evaluation criteria were proposed, created through the transformation of design principles.

Published: January 2023

During rehabilitation of residential buildings built in the first half of the
20th century, it is necessary to strengthen timber floors so they can
fulfill the requirements of strength and serviceability according to
contemporary regulations. Floors made of monolithic timber girders can be
most easily strengthened by forming a composite structure with a reinforced
concrete slab supported on a trapezoidal steel sheeting, with appropriate
connections between different materials. In the paper, the procedure of
calculation of nails used as shear connectors for composite action of timber
and concrete is presented. The procedure is based on equations given in
Eurocode 5, and besides that, a calculation applying FEM has been conducted,
and a comparison of results is presented.
A Different Perspective on Air Pollution Measurements
Authors: CAN Ali , ÖZSOY Hasan
Published: January 2023

This study aims to determine the air pollution in Karabük province. For this purpose, a new equipment has been designed. The equipment can measure the SO2, CO2, CO, CH4, NOX, O3, PM2.5, and VOC pollution alongside with many atmospheric parameters. The measurement period has been decided to be one year starting from June 2021. The measurement period was one year, starting from June 2021. The measurements were taken at fifty points with 8 portable intermittent equipment. Then hourly and monthly averages were calculated. The calculation of the averages depends on many statistical analyses. The mean (geometric, harmonic, root, interquartile, Winsorized), median, midrange, Skewness, and Kurtosis analyses were done to obtain correct daily, and monthly averages. These analyses are necessary to comment on the intermittent measurement averages. The analyses of the collected data showed that the concentrations are changing considerably through the measurement period. The highest concentration was observed for the SO2, CO, NOX, and PM2.5 with respective values of 186.4, 170, 204.9, and 265 µg/m3. All these values are dangerous for human health. Elevation, temperatures, atmospheric pressure, and wind are sensitive parameters for atmospheric pollution. In Karabük province, most of the measurement points are affected by multi-pollution sources. The scatter diagrams also support this fact. During winter months, the pollution increases instantly. However, O3 and VOC parameters show different trends as compared to other pollutants. The concentration of these two parameters, namely O3 and VOC, increases during spring months. The O3 and VOC increase by 78.1%, and 43.2%, respectively due to photochemical reactions in the atmosphere in spring.
Becoming woman in Vargas Llosa's Fiction: Blazing a trail from La ciudad y los perros to Tiempos recios
Authors:   , Pessagno-Delboy Aisa
Published: January 2023

This study investigates the evolution of Mario Vargas Llosa’s portrayal of his female characters through detailed analysis of relevant works ranging from La ciudad y los perros (1962) to Tiempos recios (2019). The main purpose is to address an important deficit in the critical study of Vargas Llosa: the analysis of his female characters throughout his work of fiction. This work shows the progression of female identity, the rejection of the patriarchal system and the steady, albeit gradual, growth of women’s power of self-determination. Vargas Llosa’s broader socio-political preoccupations are discussed in each chapter as essential historical background to the works under consideration. An introductory section on the context of each of the periods to be addressed highlights relevant events in the world and in Peru, with particular reference to the writer and to women. This will allow the reader to contextualize the representation of female characters and their roles within society. In his early fiction, women are portrayed as passive, subservient and often victimized by men. Those of indigenous descent are doubly disadvantaged by their low socio-economic status and social exclusion. In subsequent works, women gradually become more prominent (La tía Julia y el escribidor, 1977), more assertive (Travesuras de la niña mala, 2006), more defiant of heterosexual norms (Cinco esquinas, 2016), and more self-determined (Tiempos recios, 2019). Other major aspects of Vargas Llosa relate to his self-professed status as a “realist” writer who diversifies his fiction with autobiography. Driven by his personal demons, his literary themes—which serve as a barometer of his increasingly liberal socio-political perspectives—suggest themselves to the author who feels compelled to investigate them. The author’s unfettered defiance of norms and constraints—in literature as well as in his personal life—allow for an unapologetic and innovative portrayal of women and their various “becomings”, in an ever-evolving world.

Published: January 2023

This research was conducted to obtain empirical evidence on the practice of budgetary gaming. Many researchers say that budgetary gaming is an unethical practice and often occurs in practice. This unethical practice is allegedly influenced by budget emphasis and trust. In this study, the personality factor used, namely greed, will be tested as a moderating factor in the relationship between trust and budget emphasis on budget gaming. This research was conducted on retail companies registered in APRINDO (Indonesian Retail Entrepreneurs Association) with middle management respondents. The amount of data that has been collected and can be processed is 96 data. For data processing, SEM is used with the help of SmartPLS software. The results show that budget emphasis has a positive effect on budgetary gaming. Trust has a negative effect on budgetary gaming, and greed is proven to moderate budget emphasis and trust on budgetary gaming. The implications of this research can be a reference for the business world related to the design and use of a budget that can overcome gaming behaviour on a budget.Keywords: budgetary gaming, trust, budget emphasis, personality, greed

Authors: Setiawati Erma , Sekarningrum Alifah , Witono Banu
Published: January 2023

Due to a lack of development, Indonesia’s border areas are often undeveloped. This research aims to determine the impact of CSR disclosure, earnings persistence, earnings growth, and business size as factors influencing earnings management in LQ45 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2016 and 2020. Multiple linear regression with SPSS 25 was employed to analyze the data. The findings disclosed that CSR disclosure, earnings persistence, and business size all impacted earnings management. However, earnings growth did not affect earnings management. Testing with the moderating variable revealed that CSR disclosure and business size, moderated by institutional ownership, influenced earnings management. Moreover, earnings persistence and earnings growth variables, moderated by institutional ownership, did not affect earnings management.

Published: January 2023

Genetic literacy is the capacity to obtain, process, understand, and use genetic information. It is highly imperative in life science students; the current study was conducted to assess genetic literacy in students. The goals of the current project are (1) to assess the Genetic Literacy of life sciences students in education colleges, and (2) to identify how Genetic Literacy changes according to variables of academic level, gender, and different universities in education students in universities of the Furat Al-Awsat. To achieve the project's goals, the two researchers used the analytical-descriptive method using the steps such as an examination prepared to assess the impact of the variables of interest. Experts then reviewed it to confirm its legitimacy, clarity, and suitability to the target audience. The testing timing was then inferred using a trial on a sample consisting of 40 students that belong to the target audience. The test was then applied to a sample of 395 students in the second semester of the academic year 2020-2021. The sample was randomly selected from the universities of Al-Qādisiyyah, Karbala, and Kufa. The statistical packages, SPSS-26, and Microsoft tool, Microsoft Excel, were used to process the collected data and show that education-department students of the selected universities did not possess Genetic Literacy. Varying gender did not have a statistically clear impact on Genetic Literacy. Differences in genetic literacy were identified between 3rd and 4th-level students and their 1st and 2nd counterparts. The researchers concluded the necessity of integration among the contents of education and genetic literacy applied to the size, type, and quality of the material and activities in the curriculum. They also suggested that further studies must be made to study the relationship between students' level of genetic literacy and that of educators.

Designing learning content and its evaluation is very necessary in teaching and learning activities to determine the extent to which results have achieved and its effectiveness. However, the evaluationa are sometimes still use traditional methods which might actually make students worry about the final result. In fact, this concern should be avoided in order to obtain maximum results. One strategy is to use a game approach, an evaluation model to measure abilities by utilizing games. The purpose of this activity is to improve partners' ability to design learning content and its evaluation, especially formative evaluation, using a game settings. The tools used for evaluation is Kahoot!, a web-based and mobile game platform that can be filled in online questions. The partners involved in this activity were teachers from various subjects of SMK Muhammadiyah 1 Klaten Tengah (6 people), SMK Muhammadiyah 3 Klaten tengah (9 people), and SMK Muhammadiyah 4 Klaten Tengah (6 people) for a total of 21. The method applied in this activity consists of 4 stages, start from analysis, formulation, solutive action, and evaluation. Solutive action is realized in the form of a workshop which is divided into two sessions, namely a theoretical session and a practical session. Based on the evaluation carried out between before and after the activity, it was found that the participants knew better how to design learning content in the form of videos using existing software. In addition, participants also know how to create formative evaluation tools using a game approach with the Kahoot! platform. Thus it can be concluded that the knowledge and skills of the participants became better after the activity.

Madrasah teachers are currently considered to have lower cognitive competence when compared to formal school teachers in general, although this statement is not entirely correct. Researchers have conducted computational thinking training in several madrasa of Central Java Provinces, like MIN 1 Kendal, MTs N 1 Jepara, and MAN 1 Grobogan. Computational Thinking (CT) involves problem solving and system design by breaking it down into several stages that are effective, efficient, and comprehensive, including decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms which are some of the basic concepts of computer science. The purpose of this study is the implementation of CT by madrasa’ teachers on each lesson to students in order to increase student learning interest. The research method used is blended learning which is a combination of an online course (introduction to Bebras Indonesia and CT) and an onsite course (training on CT and implementation of CT to students). The results showed that there was an increase in the average score of the trainees between the pre-test and post-test of the teachers at MIN 1 Kendal, MTs N 1 Jepara, and MAN 1 Grobogan i.e. 70.23%, 70.01% and 80. 64%, respectively. Furthermore, student testimonials after the implementation of CT in subjects taught by the majority of teachers at 66.79% filled in very interesting so that CT learning was very effective in increasing student learning interest in madrasah.

Reflexos de Narciso se propõe a investigar a forma como a artista portuguesa interdisciplinar Grada Kilomba reflete sobre o cubo branco expositivo no Volume I de sua trilogia “Illusions”: “Narcissus and Echo”. Dialogando com teóricos como bell hooks, Brian O’Doherty, Frantz Fanon, Maria Aparecida Bento e Mirtes Oliveira, a análise dessa obra se concentra no questionamento acerca da suposta neutralidade do cubo branco e na analogia que a artista trava entre essa modalidade expositiva e a organização racial do mundo ocidental.
Desastres, ruínas e desafios do extrativismo mineral brasileiro
Authors: Milanez Bruno
Published: January 2023

Neste artigo, argumento que o contexto neoliberal, aliado ao perfil extrativista da economia brasileira, levou a pseudo-respostas dos agentes econômicos e a iniciativas ambíguas dos órgãos de regulação no Brasil para lidar com os rompimentos de barragens de rejeito de mineração. O texto, com base em revisão bibliográfica, complementa resultados de pesquisas específicas adotando uma visão sintética. Ao longo do estudo descrevo a visão extrativista que se consolidou na política mineral brasileira, explicitando suas diferentes fases. Em seguida, apresento, em nível global, as tendências temporais e geopolíticas dos rompimentos de barragem. Depois, discuto as iniciativas de “mercado” para lidar com os rompimentos de barragem e explicito suas limitações. Então, discorro sobre as tentativas de regulação estatal e os repetidos recuos das entidades governamentais. Por fim, aponto para o embate entre o setor mineral, que busca construir uma imagem positiva, e os movimentos sociais, que questionam o atual modelo mineral brasileiro.
